CW Council places moratorium 

on marijuana dispensaries 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Canal Winchester City Council is calling 

a short-term moratorium on adult-use 

cannabis dispensaries, cultivators, and 

processors until the end of the year while 

the state finalizes its own rules following 

passage of State Issue 2 in 2023. 

During council’s May 6 work session, 

Canal Winchester Law Director Thaddeus 

Boggs said the state is in its rulemaking 

and licensing process. Medical marijuana 

use is prohibited as a matter of city zoning. 

“The thought being letting that play its 

course before opening up Canal Winchester 

to potentially those businesses was at least 

a path to consider,” said Boggs. “It is only 

for businesses. The personal cultivation 

and use provisions in State Issue 2 are 

written in a way that local governments 

cannot deviate from what that permits.” 

Canal Winchester Development 

Director Lucas Haire said the city has little 

vacant commercial space and the cannabis 

business is not something his department 

is cultivating for development.

“We believe there will be a number of 

applications in the Canal Winchester zip 

code based on conversations I’ve had with 

potential applicants,” said Haire. “So, it 

will not be in the city of Canal Winchester, 

but in the Canal Winchester zip code.” 

According to Boggs, the state is moving 

forward with the rulemaking process 

according to what was passed by voters on 

the ballot and he expects the state to have 

licenses ready to go by August or 

September. 

In two years, the state will evaluate 

whether or not to issue additional licenses 

and if so, how many. 

The city resolution on the eight-month 

moratorium was unanimously passed during 

council’s regular meeting following the 

work session. 

Public speaking 

Wheels of government moved swiftly 

after a citizen suggestion earlier this year 

that council only ask for names of individuals 

wanting to speak during the public 

comments portion of the agenda.

CW seeks residents’ input 

on communications survey 

The city of Canal Winchester is seeking feedback 

from residents within corporation limits to learn what 

the community thinks about communication from the 

local government. Residents are asked to complete the 

survey by June 1. 

The survey was drafted by a working group that 

included staff and city council members. Eight questions 

aim to evaluate the communication residents 

receive from the city, including what sources are preferred 

and what departments residents seek information 

from. A few open-ended questions allow residents 

to share input on areas of improvement. The digital 

survey is available on the city website. Paper copies 

are available in City Hall as well. 

“This survey gives us an opportunity to take the pulse 

of the community, and to see what we are doing well and 

what we could do better,” said Mayor Joe Steager. 

“Residents have my pledge that we will analyze the 

responses and use them as guidelines for our communication 

to the community in the years to come.” 

When survey responses have been received, results 

will be tabulated and analyzed, and recommendations 

will be made for future planning. The results are 

expected to be available to the public this summer. 

Council President Will Bennett added, “I strongly 

encourage all residents to complete this survey. Our 

results will only be as good as the quality and variety 

of responses we get from our residents.” 

Any questions about the survey, the process, or 

results can be directed to Hannah Woodruff, events & 

communications coordinator for the city of Canal 

Winchester at 614-834-9915 or hwoodruff@canalwinchesterohio.gov.

A resolution amending council rules asking for a 

speaker’s name and whether or not they are a resident 

was approved. The only exception is if a speaker wants 

to comment during a quasi-judicial public proceeding. 

Speeding concerns 

Addressing speeding concerns in a letter to council, 

resident Paula Jarvis wrote, “I believe it would be in 

the best interest of public safety for East Waterloo 

Street and Trine Street to become a three-way stop 

like what was recently put in place at East Waterloo 

and Washington. The factors that have built up over 

time to create this problem can only get more intense 

going forward, so please consider and approve a threeway 

top at East Waterloo and Trine.” 

Councilwoman Jill Amos said she is not opposed to 

putting a stop sign at the intersection and said local 

residents call the area an internal freeway because of 

speeding. 

Be a part of renaming 

Obetz’s Lancaster Park 

www.columbusmessenger.com 

The City of Obetz is embarking on an exciting project 

to revitalize Lancaster Park, a cornerstone project 

for 2024, which also includes a new name for the park. 

City of Obetz officials want Obetz residents to be a 

part of renaming the park. with a new name that captures 

the spirit of Obetz and resonates with the community. 

Residents are invited to participate in a two-stage 

survey at obetz.oh.us to select the park’s new name. 

Take the survey by May 15, to submit your ideas for 

the new park name. 

The city is aiming for a name that reflects Obetz’s 

history and character, so avoid anything silly or offensive. 

City staff will compile the suggestions and present 

the top five contenders in a second survey launching on 

May 20 and closing on May 31. 

The combined results of the resident vote and a single 

vote from the mayor and each Obetz City Council 

member will determine the park’s official new name. 

Mayor Angela Kirk will announce the final selection 

after the vote at the city council meeting on June 10. 

The park revitalization project extends beyond the 

name change. Improvements being made include: 

anew pickleball complex, new cornhole boards, and 

permanent game tables for ongoing community enjoyment.

Pedestrian hit 

Downtown merchant Bruna Brundige told council a 

woman was recently hit by a car in front of the 

Cornersmiths door at the intersection of Waterloo and 

High streets. The accident was witnessed by the store’s 

owner and her daughter. 

“It’s the second time a car has jumped the curb,” 

said Brundige. “This time it was tragic. We are dreadfully 

close to the front of car bumpers and they seem to 

be jumping there. How man pedestrians at any one 

time are at that corner?” 

Brundige acknowledged the city has a comprehensive 

plan in place to improve the intersection, however, 

she asked if it is possible for the city to take another 

look at its plans. 

“Look at other communities and how they’re putting 

in stops for cars,” said Brundige. “See if we can prevent 

the inevitable.”

Memorial Day observances 


By Rick Palsgrove 

Managing Editor 

Memorial Day is a solemn and moving 

tradition for Americans - whether they live 

in big cities, small towns, or the countryside 

- dating back to the day’s origins in the 

post-Civil War period. 

Each Memorial Day is special in its own 

right as we pay respects to the fallen as 

flags gently flutter by each tombstone and 

flowers grace the graves. 

Time rolls on. Memories of some things 

in life may fade, but not the memory of the 

sacrifices made by these, our honored fallen 

members of the military. 

Memorial Day endures and is an elegant, 

dignified reminder to us all of the profound 

sacrifices made by members of our communities 

in service to their country. 

After your local Memorial Day ceremony 

concludes and the crowd drifts away, linger 

for awhile in the cemetery. Walk around 

and read the names on the grave stones. 

Absorb the ever present silence of the flag 

decorated graves of the soldiers resting 

there and the silence of the flower covered 

graves of generations of others buried 

there. Remember those who rest in the 

cemetery were once like us - laughing, loving, 

living - giving their all every day to 

better their community and country. 

Always remember. 

Canal Winchester 

In remembrance of fallen veterans, 

VFW Post #10523 will host Canal 

Winchester’s annual Memorial Day ceremony

School Band. 

Immediately following the Canal 

Winchester Memorial Day ceremony, the 

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will host a flag 

retirement ceremony on the cemetery 

grounds. 

The public is invited to attend both ceremonies. 

Lawn chairs or blankets are

Lockbourne 

Lockbourne’s annual Memorial Day 

Parade and Celebration will be held May 

27. 

The parade begins at noon and a ceremony 

follows immediately after the parade 

at 95 Landis St. The parade begins at 

Lockbourne Road and Commerce Street, 

runs west on Commerce, south on 

Williams, east on Mechanics, north on 

Vause Street and ends at the Lockbourne 

Veterans Park. 

The guest speaker and grand marshal is 

Col. Andrew P. Powers, Commander, 121st 

Air Refueling Wing (ARW). Prior to taking 

command of the 121st ARW, Powers served 

as the commander of the 178th 

Intelligence, Surveillance, and 

Reconnaissance Group. He is a command 

pilot with approximately 2,775 flight 

hours. 

The Hamilton Township High School 

Ensemble will sing the National Anthem. 

“Each year, we honor a current or former 

Lockbourne resident who served in the 

military,” said Lockbourne Mayor Christie 

Ward. “There is a flag folding presentation 

which is then given to our honoree. This 

year’s honoree is Ben Smith, U.S. 

Marines.” 

In addition to honoring those veterans 

who sacrificed their lives while serving in 

the U.S. military, Ward said the village 

will take the opportunity to share a piece of 

history of Lockbourne / Rickenbacker Air 

Force Base. 

“We have a display at the ceremony on 

the Tuskegee Airmen, the Women Air 

Service Pilots (WASPs), photos of 

Lockbourne Air Force Base, the Cars Races 

at the Base, etc.,” said Ward. “This year, 

we are honoring the 121st ARW and will 

have a special display for them.”

Power Ranger program powers up! 


Staff Writer 

Hamilton Township High School’s 

Power Rangers are not found in flashy costumes 

fighting evildoers, but in classrooms 

and the Ohio Statehouse, leading the way 

for fellow students and paving the way for 

a better and more informed community. 

“The Powers Rangers are a group of 

emerging student leaders in our building,” 

said group advisor Holly Heaton. “About 

three years ago, our now principal, Matt 

O’Hearn, thought the Leader In Me program 

through Franklin County was a great 

opportunity for our students to hone their 

leadership skills. He asked me and two 

other teachers if we would be the ones to 

head up this program and teach our students 

about leadership attributes and qualities 

that would ultimately benefit them in 

their current and future lives.” 

Members of the group meet every day 

for a class period. They plan school events, 

devise solutions to problems, and serve as 

the voice of students within the high 

school. 

Organizers felt a program was needed 

where students could be stars and shape 

what the school looks like, feels like, and 

sounds like. The Power Rangers hosted two 

pep rallies this year–one during homecoming 

and another promoting the annual 

Vince Payne Autism Game during the basketball 

season. 

“One of the events we are most proud of 

was an assembly we called The Hammys,” 

said Heaton. “It was a positive awards 

assembly meant to shine a spotlight on students 

in the building who are always doing 

the right thing. We made it an award show 

with a red carpet, a literal spotlight, and 

actual awards that came in envelopes. It 

was wildly successful! Our student body

2024 graduation to be at World Harvest 

After multiple surveys completed by Hamilton Township High 

School’s senior class, this school year’s graduation commencement 

ceremony for the Class of 2024 will be held at World Harvest 

Church located at 4595 Gender Road in Canal Winchester. 

The graduation ceremony will be held May 21 at 7 p.m. 

Four the past four years commencement was held at Fortress 

Obetz. 

According to Hamilton Local Schools officials, one of the primary 

reasons for the change is to eliminate the stress and uncertainty 

caused by weather-related reschedules. 

By moving the event indoors the ceremony can be held rain or 

shine. Holding the commencement at World Harvest Church provides 

time for families to plan, make necessary arrangements, and 

ensure that no one misses this significant event in the lives of our 

graduates. 

Hamilton Local Schools held graduation ceremonies at World 

Harvest prior to the COVID-19 pandemic for five years.

really enjoyed it. Students who are maybe 

not featured as often as others had the 

opportunity to be seen and celebrated by 

the entire student body. It was an incredible 

response.” 

In addition, Powers Rangers also visit 

AIM (homeroom) classes every week to lead 

fellow students through activities that foster 

leadership skills and constructive collaboration. 

Power Rangers develop lesson 

plans and activities and execute them 

every week using teachers as a support system. 

Earlier this year, a few Power Rangers, 

members of the Student Inclusion Council 

and Lockbourne Mayor Christie Ward visited

village’s plans to install a memorial to the 

Tuskegee Airmen in Lockbourne’s

“We have built a strong relationship 

with the Ohio Memorial Chapter of 

Tuskegee Airmen and are collaborating 

with them to tell their story,” said Ward. 

“Lockbourne Air Force Base was their last 

home.” 

Power Ranger members–32 in grades 

10-12–planned games and activities, recognized 

student athletes, and encouraged 

school spirit and support for football and 

basketball programs while using the platform 

to bring awareness for a worthy 

cause. 

“They’ve been instrumental in amplifying 

Ranger pride for our sporting events 

and have helped to shine a spotlight on the 

amazing qualities our students possess,” 

said Heaton. “The Power Rangers are true 

student leaders who are crucial in making 

our school the best place it could be.” 

Students are selected for the Power 

Rangers team based on a submitted application, 

current student involvement, and 

classroom leadership. 

“It is important that the group be representative 

of our diverse student population, 

so that also is taken into consideration,” 

Heaton said. “Ultimately, the students chosen 

to be Power Rangers exemplify leadership. 

They are role models. They care. They 

work hard. They already have demonstrated 

that they possess those skills, and we 

seek to enhance those skills through the 

program.”

The Leadership 

of the Ohio 

House of 

Representatives 

Managing the legislative work that gets completed 

by the Ohio House of Representatives takes a hierarchy 

of leadership. In a previous column, I described 

the responsibilities of our House Speaker, 

Jason Stephens of Lawrence County. He presides 

over the legislature during our meetings, directs 

legislative procedures, and appoints committee 

chairs and members. Today I will describe the 

remaining House officers and summarize their 

responsibilities. 

The Speaker Pro Tempore becomes the temporary 

Speaker in the absence of the Speaker. The position 

for this General Assembly is held by Scott Oelslager 

of Canton, a 34-year veteran of the legislature. 

The Majority Floor Leader (or, simply, Majority 

Leader) develops and implements the legislative 

agenda of the majority (Republican) caucus. Bill 

Seitz of Cincinnati, a 20-plus year legislator, currently 

holds that position. The Assistant Majority 

Leader assists the Majority Leader in these endeavors. 

Jon Cross of Findlay fills this position. 

The Majority Whip is Jim Hoops, a third-term legislator 

from the northwest corner of Ohio. He is responsible 

for monitoring legislation and securing 

votes for a given bill’s passage. It’s been my experience 

thus far that he keeps a pulse of each representative’s 

support (or lack thereof) of a measure, 

rather than tries to persuade support. I never have 

been instructed to do anything but vote my conscience 

on any bill; the Whip simply keeps track of 

intended votes. The Assistant Majority Whip is 

Sharon Ray of Medina. The term Whip originated in 

the Parliament of Great Britain and derives from the 

”whipper-in” at a fox hunt. 

The leadership of the minority party (Democratic) 

caucus consists of the Minority and Assistant Minority 

Floor Leader and the Minority and Assistant Minority 

Whip. Their roles are similar to those of their 

majority counterparts. The current Minority Leader 

is Allison Russo of Upper Arlington, and the Assistant 

Minority Leader is Dontavius Jarrells of Columbus, 

whose district abuts ours on the north and east. 

The Minority Whip is Dani Isaacsohn of Cincinnati 

(the only freshman legislator in leadership) and the 

Assistant Minority Whip is Michele Grim of Toledo. 

Although the entire House votes on all the leadership 

positions, legislators typically (but not always) 

defer to their respective party selections, especially 

for the Leader and Whip positions. The current 

make-up of the House is 67 Republicans and 32 

Democrats. The Senate manages itself similarly. 

There are 26 Republican and 7 Democratic Senators 

in the 135th General Assembly.

House of Representatives, which consists of parts of

position and his campaign has paid for this communication

Performing Arts Collective seeks to thrive in CW 


Staff Writer 

The Canal Winchester Performing Arts 

Collective, comprised of 60 performers 

spread across three components–a steel 

pan band, community choir and theatrical 

performers–is gearing up for its first combined 

performance on May 19 at 6:30 p.m. 

at David’s United Church of Christ, 80 W. 

Columbus St, Canal Winchester. 

The event is part of the steel pan band’s 

annual Spring Jam Concert. Joining the 

musicians for the first time are the 

Winchester Voices and the Winchester 

Street Theatre Group. 

“Our performances have a wide variety 

of music,” said Canal Winchester 

Performing Arts Collective Director Todd 

Phillips, who brought his dream of the collective 

to fruition after retiring from the 

local school system. “Most people think of 

steel drums of island party music. Of 

course, there are songs that fit that 

description. We also have pieces that are 

more classical sounding, jazz and a variety 

of pop tunes/Broadway cover songs. No two 

pieces are exactly the same.” 

The steel band was founded in 2000 as 

part of Canal Winchester Schools. Last 

summer, it officially became part of the 

Canal Winchester Joint Recreation 

District. The non-profit collective organization 

was founded in September 2023. 

While the JRD still manages the collective, 

day-to-day logistics are handled by the 

organization. The community choir began 

rehearsals in February and the street 

troupe recently began activity. 

The Winchester Steel band program has 

three ensembles–one for middle school 

students, one for high school students, and 

one for adults. Winchester Voices is for 

ages 16 and up and the theatre group is 

open to all ages. There are plans to add a 

small instrumental ensemble in the fall 

and a dance/movement experience in the 

future. 

While the band has a 24-year history, 

Phillips wanted to create a theatre group 

unlike others in the area. 

“Pickerington and Lithopolis have very 

established, quality community theatre 

groups,” said Phillips. “Trying to create a 

similar group in Canal Winchester could be 

a struggle. We do not want to compete with 

our neighbors. Rather, we’d like to offer the 

community things that Wagnalls and 

Pickerington currently do not. So we decided 

to do street theatre. Street theatre is a 

very open-ended approach. It combines 

short plays–eight to 10 minutes–with 

improvisation, theatre games and audience 

interaction. It can be presented with a 

small number of performers or a larger 

group. It’s the safest way to create a theatre 

program. Everyone involved gets to 



work.” 

The Winchester Street 

Theatre troupe has its premier 

performance on May 18 

during the Canal Winchester 

Art Stroll, noon to 6 p.m. 

Performers will be located in 

various places throughout 

downtown during the course 

of the Stroll. 

While the acting group is 

new, the community choir has 

a heritage dating back 

decades, albeit in a different 

form. 

“When I came to the Canal 

Winchester area in the fall of 

1988, there was a community 

choir, the Canal Winchester 

Chorale directed by Virginia 

Heffner,” said Phillips. “This 

ensemble still exists, though 

performs on a limited basis 

primarily in senior centers. 

Unfortunately, modern society 

has few opportunities for 

adults to sing in an organized 

choral group. Decades ago, 

every church had a choir. 

Many modern churches have 

moved away from that older 

model, but the desire to sing in 

such a group has never 

changed.” 

Phillips said the performing 

arts collective is excited to offer the 

experience to the community. Winchester 

Voices will run three sessions during the 

calendar year. A spring session concert will 

premiere on May 30 at Gender Road 

Christian Church, 5336 Gender Road, 

Canal Winchester, at 7 p.m. 

“This is a nearly a 60-voice mixed choir,” 

said Phillips. “The summer session will run 

from mid-June to the end of August and the 

fall/holiday session will run from October 

into December. Performance dates for the 

summer session and fall/holiday session 

have not been scheduled yet.” 

Like every non-profit, the Canal 

Winchester Performing Arts Collective 

must be creative not only on a stage, but 

also in how their ensembles are supported. 

“We’ll take every donation, no matter 

how large or small,” said Phillips. “We are 

applying for various support grants to help 

fund our work. We have asked for a small 

participation fee for some of our groups and 

many of our performance events have a 

Pay What You Will ticket fee. You do not 

need to have a Canal Winchester mailing 

address to participate in any of our ensembles. 

Rehearsal schedules and locations 

vary depending on the ensemble and we 

have been lucky to have the support of local

Collective at a recent rehearsal include, from left to

churches to provide spaces to work and perform 

in their facilities.” 

Phillips acknowledged there are few 

opportunities for community members to 

participate in performing arts ensembles. 

“The arts have been my paycheck and 

career,” said Phillips. “For the majority of 

our community, the arts are a much needed 

therapy. We are all aware of the last five 

years and how devastating it was to all of 

us. Being involved in the performing arts 

can go a long way to heal.” 

In evaluating the public reaction to the 

non-profit organization and its programs, 

Phillips said he is overwhelmed by the 

response from the community. 

“I know my long history with the community 

has made an impact, but I had no 

idea how enthusiastic and supportive the 

community and our city leaders were going 

to be when we announced these programs,” 

said Phillips. “I’m touched to have nearly 

30 Canal Winchester High School alumni 

and parents involved in Winchester Voices, 

Winchester Steel ,and our new Street 

Theatre troupe.”

Area schools host job fair 

Canal Winchester Schools, Groveport 

Madison Schools, and Whitehall City 

Schools are joining forces to address critical 

staffing shortages by hosting a combined 

job fair on June 5 from 4-7 p.m. at 

Canal Winchester High School, 300 

Washington St., Canal Winchester. 

The event aims to fill key support staff 

positions, including paraprofessionals, bus 

drivers, aides, and custodians. The partner 

schools recognize the urgent need for these 

roles and are prepared to offer qualified candidates 

positions on the spot. Ideal candidates 

are individuals seeking meaningful 

work that positively impacts their community 

and the future of children in Central Ohio. 

“The partner schools are looking for dedicated 

individuals who are passionate about 

making a difference in the lives of students,” 

said Dr. Chris Green, Director of Diversity, 

Engagement, and Human Capital at 

Groveport Madison Schools. “Working at a 

school offers a desirable schedule, excellent 

benefits, and the opportunity to contribute 

significantly to our community.” 

No teaching license is required for these 

positions, making them accessible to a 

wide range of candidates. Interested individuals 

are encouraged to attend the combined 

job fair to learn more about the available 

positions and the benefits of working 

in education. 

For information about the combined job 

fair, contact Megan Anthony at manthony@cwls.us. 


Cultural exchange program 

Open your heart and home - host an 

exchange student. Many students from 

around the world will be coming to live and 

study in the U.S. throughout the upcoming 

school year with Aspect Foundation, a nonprofit 

organization dedicated to excellence 

in youth exchange. 

Aspect Foundation students hail from 

nearly 50 different countries but all share 

the same dream — to experience the 

American way of life. Exchange students 

are aged 15 to 18, speak English, and have 

their own spending money and insurance. 

Volunteer host families will provide room, 

board, and a loving home environment for 

a semester or academic year. In return, 

host families and exchange students learn 

about another culture firsthand, and gain 

a second family for life. 

Host families can be married or single, 

with or without children, newly retired or 

just starting out. Cassandra Lewis, Aspect 

International Coordinator for the 

Columbus area, can help you choose a student 

that matches your family's interests 

and help make the upcoming school year an 

unforgettable one full of lasting memories!

“We will be maintaining the herb garden 

at the Nature Center (log house) at 

Heritage Park,” said Cooper. “The herb 

garden will feature both culinary and 

medicinal herbs commonly grown and 

used in the Ohio River Valley in the early 

1800s and when the house was built. 

We’ve also rented a plot at the Groveport 

Community Garden where we will grow 

some produce to donate to the Groveport

Fairfield Career Center gets 

Purple Star Designation 

Fairfield Career Center was recently 

named among more than 150 schools in 

Ohio to be granted Purple Star designation 

by the Ohio Department of Education and 

Workforce. 

Purple Star schools show a significant 

commitment to serving students and families 

connected to our nation’s armed forces. 

Ninety-seven Ohio schools received the 

esteemed award for the first time, and 74 

schools earned a renewal after three years 

as dedicated Purple Star Schools. 

To qualify for the award, schools choose 

a school-based staff person to serve as a 

liaison between military families and the 

school. These liaisons complete professional 

development, identify military-connected 

students, and facilitate support 

throughout the school community for identified 

students and families. Assistant 

principals Heather Tinsley and Angela 

Fuentes will serve as liaisons to students 

and families at Fairfield Career Center. 

For both, helping FCC earn Purple Star 

designation, serve military-connected families, 

and support students interested in 

military service is personal. Before becoming 

an educator, Tinsley served in the U.S. 

Army National Guard. Fuentes is the 

proud parent of a military serviceman, who 

is currently serving in the U.S. Army. 

Purple Star schools also participate in at 

least one supportive activity each year. The 

Purple Star Class of 2024 includes schools 

that host monthly club meetings, provide 

professional learning for all educators on 

the unique considerations of military-connected 

students, implement peer-to-peer 

transition programs, or host schoolwide 

celebrations honoring military students 

and families. On April 25, Fairfield Career 

Center held its first such celebration by 

honoring 13 students who committed to 

enlist in a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces 

(pictured). 

Fairfield Career Center receives the designation 

for three years, after which it can 

apply for renewal of the designation.

Designation webpage or email

Why Supporting Small 

Business MATTERS! 

Dear Neighbor, 

As a State Senator, small business owner, and nonprofit 

CEO, I am keenly aware of the vital role that 

small businesses play in our communities. In honor 

of Small Business Month, I am calling all Ohioans 

to get out and support their favorite small business 

as your support plays a significant role in a 

creating vibrant, flourishing communities. Small 

businesses are the backbone of our local economy, 

fostering job creation, innovation, and a unique 

character that defines our neighborhoods. Beyond 

their economic contributions, small businesses 

have an unparalleled capacity to make a meaningful 

impact on our communities through their commitment 

to giving back. 

When small businesses succeed, they generate 

employment opportunities, helping to reduce unemployment 

rates and improve the standard of living. 

Every local store, restaurant, or service 

provider that thrives contributes to a more robust 

and resilient economy. Moreover, small businesses 

often source their products locally, ensuring economic 

benefits circulate within our community 

and supporting other local enterprises and suppliers. 

The impact of small business extends beyond economics. 

I have witnessed firsthand the intersection 

between business and philanthropy. Many small 

businesses partner with local charities, sponsor 

community events, and support local schools and 

community initiatives. Such acts of generosity and 

community involvement foster a sense of unity 

and shared purpose, making our neighborhoods 

more vibrant and cohesive. 

Join me in supporting our local small business 

community. Your patronage helps these companies 

expand, create more jobs, and continue their 

invaluable community support. 

Enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, shop at a local 

neighborhood store, or use a local service 

provider. Whatever you choose, just know that 

your support will have a direct impact on Ohio’s 

economy. By supporting our small businesses, 

your investing in Ohio’s economic health and contributing 

to the social fabric that makes our communities 

strong. 

Results matter so let's make a difference together. 

Stay connected to my office by subscribing to the 

website for updates and notifications.

Caution if consuming “Unfrosted” 

Beyond having the distinction as being 

one of the only sugar-filled foods that did 

not make my adolescent skin erupt like a 

volcano, I cannot say that the once frequent 

consumption of the Pop-Tarts breakfast 

pastry added any real value to my life 

when I was younger, particularly in regard 

to actual nutritional needs. As an adult — 

questionably — I cannot say the same when 

it comes to the recent consumption of Pop- 

Tarts related media because it is now twofor-two 

in providing a real sense of happiness 

to my old and weary soul. 

The first instance of this long forgotten 

breakfast staple becoming a beacon of joy in 

my life took place at a collegiate football 

game, of all things. It was at the conclusion 

of an otherwise uneventful bowl game 

between Kansas State and North Carolina 

State and the sponsors had just rolled out 

the float for the trophy presentation ceremony. 

Standing atop of the festively 

adorned structure was a gigantic and sweet 

faced pastry named Strawberry. As the official 

mascot of the inaugural Pop-Tarts 

Bowl, the smiling Strawberry whipped out 

a sign declaring “Dreams Really Do Come 

True” and waved manically as it was slowly 

lowered into an industrial sized toaster. 

Before the guests could get too whipped 

up from having seen a high fructose massacre, 

a secret compartment on the float 

opened to reveal an oversized Pop-Tart on 

the slab, frosted and toasted and ready to 

be consumed by the victorious — and apparently 

ravenous — Kansas State players. 

The sacrificial breakfast pastry moment 

went viral on the internet, deservedly so. It 

was one of the funniest and most bizarre 

scenes ever broadcast on television and it 

brought so much happiness because of the 

fact. Nearly six months have gone by since 

that event and I still go back and watch the 

clip whenever I need a good laugh. 

The second instance in which the breakfast 

pastry brought a sense of joy to my life 

was during a recent viewing of “Unfrosted,” 

a new movie on Netflix which is extremely 

loosely based on the race to create a shelfstable 

breakfast option. Unsurprisingly, it 

is as absurd as it sounds but unfortunately 

it never comes as close to the level of greatness 

of Strawberry cheerfully sailing into 

the big toaster in the sky. 

In this completely silly and mostly faux 

tale of the creation of the Pop-Tart, noted 

cereal enthusiast Jerry Seinfeld plays Bob 

Cabana, an executive at Kellogg’s who has 

three main concerns in life: paying the 

annual tuition of $200 for his children to 

attend college; saving enough money to 

replace his yard grass with sod; and finding 

a way to beat cereal rival Post to the 

creation of a shelf-stable breakfast pastry 

that could replace cereal as the top breakfast 

choice for kids across the country. 

Although Kellogg’s has been the reigning 

champs of the cereal industry for decades — 

they constantly sweep the annual breakfast 

award — CEO Edsel Kellogg III (Jim 

Gaffigan) has become somewhat paranoid 

over what Post CEO Marjorie Post (Amy 

Shumer) could have baking in the lab. In 

The Reel Deal 

order to quell his concerns 

that they could 

be usurped in the 

hearts of sugar-loving 

children around the 

Dedra 

Cordle 

globe, he orders Bob to assemble a team of 

shrewd individuals to design and build this 

elusive breakfast beast. 

The first person he turns to is former 

colleague Donna “Stan” Stankowski 

(Melissa McCarthy), who left the company 

to join NASA to work on the moon race. To 

get her to come back, Bob ruefully asks 

whether she believes they will really go to 

the moon. When she expressed her belief 

that they would not, she is back on board, 

simple as that. 

With the dynamic duo back together 

they recruit a powerful breakfast commission 

that includes bicycle king Steve 

Schwinn (Jack McBrayer), fitness guru 

Jack LaLanne (James Marsden), ice cream 

connoisseur Tom Carrel (Adrian Martinez), 

pasta pro Chef Boy Ardee (Bobby 

Moynihan) and possible former war criminal 

Harold Von Braunhut (Thomas 

Lennon). Since none of these people on the 

breakfast commission actually know anything 

about the creation of breakfast 

meals, chaos quickly ensues. Over the 

course of several weeks in the Kellogg’s lab, 

a sentient sea monkey gets baked into ravioli, 

one of the commissioners loses his life 

in a freak taste testing accident, and they 

have to grapple with an underground 

movement led by Frosted Flakes mascot 

Tony the Tiger (a grrreat Hugh Grant) to 

sabotage the breakfast pastry movement. 

I cannot in good faith say that 

“Unfrosted” is a “good” film. It is not. 

Seinfeld, making his directorial debut, is 

limited in his vision (it essentially amounts 

to a point and shoot direction) and the 

screenplay he co-wrote with “Bee Movie” 

scribes Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and 

Andy Robin does not even attempt to tell a 

complete narrative — the third act crumbles 

like a pastry, as if everyone ran out of ideas 

and just decided to throw absurdities at the 

wall. None of these things are promising in 

a movie. And yet…I laughed. A lot. I 

laughed because this movie about the 

invention of the Pop-Tart and its rival, the 

Post Country Squares, is very, very, silly 

and sometimes you just need something 

very, very silly in your life. 

Much like the actual breakfast pastry — 

or any other food stuffed with sugar — I 

urge caution if you want to consume 

“Unfrosted” because I know its humor will 

not be for everyone. It’s completely absurd, 

it completely embraces that absurdity, and 

it completely expects the viewer to do so as 

well. Not everyone can, of course, but the 

viewing experience will be so much better 

if you put seriousness aside.
