CW Council sets
rules for road use
of golf carts
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
As golf carts become more popular as a form of transportation,
Canal Winchester City Council is tightening up language regarding
their movement on public roads.
Legislation regarding under-speed vehicles, such as golf carts,
was unanimously approved by council on June 3.
According to the traffic code ordinance, an under-speed vehicle
is a three- or four-wheeled vehicle, including golf carts, incapable
of attaining a speed greater than 20 mph on a paved level surface.
The vehicle’s gross weight rating must be less than 3,000 pounds,
pass an inspection, and a fee paid by the owner as required by the
city’s codified ordinances. No person shall operate an under-speed
vehicle on any roadway where the posted speed limit is greater
than 25 mph, except on Washington Street north of Ashbrook
Road, or when crossing a roadway is necessary for compliance.
In a May 25 online public comment submission, Washington
Street resident Michael Cooper said he is concerned about allowing
golf carts along the 35 mph speed zone between Ashbrook
Road and a bridge.

A float fit for a queen
By Rick Palsgrove
Managing Editor
The royalty of the Miss Canal Winchester Pageant
will have a refurbished float to ride on for the upcoming
Labor Day parade.
Matthew Turney of Boy Scout Troop 103 is working
to fix up the float as his Eagle Scout project.
“The coordinator of the Miss Canal Winchester
Pageant is Melanie Boise,” said Lisa Turney, who is
Matthew’s mother and assistant scoutmaster for
Troop 103. “She was Matthew’s teacher in elementary
school. And he has known a few girls who have
been in the Queen’s Court over the years.”
Lisa said no one is sure how old the queen’s float is.
“A name you know, Experience you can trust”
“It was moved on to a larger trailer and the top
shelf added about six years ago,” said Lisa. “The Miss
Canal Winchester pageant does use it for the CW
Labor Day parade as well as numerous other parades
all year long.”
She said three other scouts and eight adults have
helped Matthew on the project.
When asked how long have they been working on
the float and when is it expected to be completed, Lisa
said, “Matthew first met with Mrs. Boise in January.
The float was used for the Memorial Day parade in
Lithopolis. It still needs some detail work and lights
added. We expect to be done soon.”

LEUKOPLAKIA
Since 1972
Dr. Kelly
The term leukoplakia comes
from a Greek word meaning white
plate, an apt description of the
white patches that characterize
this disorder. Ill-fitting dentures or
a rough tooth rubbing against the
cheek or gums is a common
cause.
When white patches develop in
the mouths of smokers as the
body’s natural protection against
the heat of tobacco smoke, the
condition is called smoker’s
keratosis. Patches also occur if a
cud of chewing tobacco or snuff
is held in the mouth for extended
periods.
You may notice a white or grayish
patch that develops on the inside
of one cheek or on your
tongue. After a while, it may become
rough and sensitive to hot
or spicy foods. If you do observe
such a patch, see your dentist. If
the patch persists after treatment,
a biopsy specimen of the area
may be taken and examined
under a microscope. About three
percent of such patches are early
signs of mouth cancer.
Prepared as a public service to
promote better dental health.

“I think adding golf carts is great idea
as long as the speed limit is lowered to 25
mph,” said Cooper. “Drivers tend to see
how fast they can go between the Walnut
Creek bridge and Ashbrook Road. My family
and I see high speeds every day in this
area. In addition to allowing golf carts, the
new trail system is also a concern. It is a
great success with high usage from daylight
to dark. Lowering the speed limit
would greatly improve trail safety and golf
cart safety.”
In addressing Cooper’s public comment,
City Administrator Matt Peoples said it is
state law that the posted speed limit is 35
mph along Washington Street north of
Ashbrook and Canal Winchester is not permitted
to change the speed limit.
City attorney Thaddeus Boggs said golf
carts can be authorized on roadways of 35
mph or less.
“The city can set a limit less than that
for golf carts, but the city cannot unilaterally
change that stretch of roadway from
35 mph to 25 mph for vehicles generally,”
said Boggs.
FLOAT
Continued from page 1
The old float needed a lot of work.
“The float took severe water damage,”
said Lisa. “The entire outside had to be
removed and replaced as well as part of the
support structure for the bottom two seating
levels. The front rail was lowered for
visibility. All of the hand rails were rebuilt
higher for look and safety. The top level
was hinged to make it low enough to fit in
a garage for future storage. And the entire
thing will be sealed with water proof paint
to make it more weather resistant.”
Matthew faced a lot of challenges on the
project. He had to network with several
businesses to obtain donations of supplies
to keep the costs down. He also had to
learn to manage a team of mostly adults
with conflicting availability and different
ideas of how to improve the float.
When asked how much it cost to refurbish
the float and how the project is being
funded, Lisa said, “The Miss Canal
Winchester Pageant held two fundraisers.
Matthew had plans for a third, but he was
able to get enough supplies donated that
the third was not needed. The pageant
held a Valentine’s Ball in February and
hosted a Spring Market craft show in
April. The total cost of the supplies will be
over $1,000 but the cost to the pageant
should be less than $300.”
Several business partners contributed
to the project including: Nat Floyd from
Bounce Up Ohio which provided time,
labor, supplies and construction expertise;
Tom Obert of Joe Dirt provided an indoor
space to work as well as time, labor, tools,
parts, and paint; 84 Lumber donated all of
the wood; and The Paul Peterson Company
donated additional supplies.
Watch for the refurbished float in the
Canal Winchester Labor Day parade. It
will truly be fit for a queen!

Legislative Update: Innovative
Policies for Families and
Comprehensive Healthcare
Dear Constituents,
I am thrilled to share updates on two important pieces
of legislation that I have been working on to benefit
families and communities across Ohio.
First, the rising cost of child care has become unsustainable
for many Ohio families. To address this, Representative
Mark Johnson and I are proud to introduce the
“Child Care Credit Act.” This innovative legislation, embodied
in Senate Bill 273 and House Bill 610, introduces
a tri-sharemodel where families & employers can elect
to open in, and the State of Ohio each covers one-third
of the total childcare costs. We aim to make child care
more affordable and strengthen Ohio’s workforce.
I am pleased to announce that our initiative has received
endorsements from key organizations, including
Goodwill Columbus, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce,
the Ohio Business Roundtable, and Groundwork Ohio.
Their representatives joined us at this week’s press conference,
demonstrating strong support for this vital effort.
Together, we are committed to easing the financial
burden on families and ensuring that every child has
access to quality care.
In addition to addressing child care, I am pleased to inform
you about Senate Bill 95, the Telepharmacy Bill.
This bill aims to improve pharmaceutical access across
Ohio by enabling remote dispensing pharmacies and
telepharmacy systems, particularly benefiting our rural
and underserved communities.
Key provisions of SB 95 include:
● Allowing pharmacists to mail prescriptions to
patients, addressing barriers for those who face long
commutes to obtain medications.
● Providing a process to grant waivers for pharmacies
within a 10-mile radius, ensuring fair consideration
and transparency.
● Permitting the Board of Pharmacy to add new long
acting injectables that pharmacists can administer.
● Enabling the State Board of Pharmacy to register
technicians as young as seventeen creating more
opportunities in this vital field.
SB 95 ensures patient safety through comprehensive
controls and regulations, including daily prescription
dispensing limits, stringent reporting requirements,
and mandatory staffing levels at remote dispensing
pharmacies. By joining 28 other states in embracing
telepharmacy, Ohio can extend pharmaceutical access
to all 88 counties, fostering healthier communities, reducing
healthcare costs, and easing the burden of
lengthy commutes for essential medications.
Results matter so let's make a difference together. Stay

TAB — which is designed for high-school
juniors and seniors from public, private,
charter and online schools statewide,
including home-schooled students — offers
young people an opportunity to engage
with state government officials and discuss
issues affecting their lives.
“This program allows Ohio teenagers to
gain firsthand experience in law and government,”
Yost said. “It’s a chance for our
future leaders to have their voices heard
and to play an active role in shaping their
communities.”
Board members serve a one-year term,
during which they convene twice in
Columbus to collaborate and advise the
Attorney General’s Office on matters relevant
to teens.
The ideal applicant is a motivated,
enthusiastic self-starter who has an interest
in law and government, seeks to develop
leadership skills, and wants to make a
difference. Board members participate in
small group projects, attend presentations,
meet with Yost, and interact with assistant
attorneys general and elected officials.
The submission deadline for applications
is Sept. 15. For more information
about the program or to apply, visit
www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/TeenAmba
ssadorBoard.
Parental Notification Act
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is
making the public aware of a state law giving
parents oversight of their children’s use
of social media websites as well as online
services and products aimed at children.
The Parental Notification by Social
Media Operators Act, approved by the Ohio
General Assembly took effect on Jan. 15.
www.columbusmessenger.com
The Ohio Attorney General is charged
with enforcement of this law, which applies
to websites, services and products that are
targeted to children or reasonably expected
to be accessed by children.
Operators must obtain parental consent
before establishing accounts for children
under the age of 16. They also must present
parents with a list of censoring or content
moderation features.
When consent is granted, operators
must then send written confirmation of the
account to the parent or legal guardian.
When consent is not given, operators must
deny the child access to the platform.
In cases in which operators fail to provide
notification or a parent wishes to terminate
a child’s access, parents should contact
the website operator who then has 30
days to terminate the child’s access. If parents
are unsuccessful in the account being
deleted, they are encouraged to file a complaint
with the Ohio Attorney General’s
Office at OhioProtects.org.
OhioProtects.org features frequently
asked questions regarding the law and
offers additional resources for parents
seeking information on the upcoming regulations.

Lockbourne plans memorial wall to honor air base
Tuskegee Airmen noted
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Eighty years ago, Lockbourne Army
Airfield was home to the Tuskegee Airmen,
a group of Black service members under
the leadership of Colonel Benjamin Davis,
Jr., the first African American officer to
command an Army Air Force Base.
The village of Lockbourne never forgot
the airmen’s dedication and precedent-setting
service to their country and started
work in March 2023 to install a memorial
in the village’s Veteran’s Park honoring the
Tuskegee Airmen and others who served at
the base.
“Rob Stroup, author of ‘Crossroads of
Liberty,’ approached the village about
installing a monument in Lockbourne to
commemorate the history of Lockbourne /
Rickenbacker Air Force Base,” said
Lockbourne Mayor Christie Ward.
Lockbourne Air Force Base was named
after the village of Lockbourne. Ward said
the base is not only part of the village’s history,
but also that of Hamilton Local
Schools and throughout Hamilton
Township.
She said so much of the base’s history
and historical buildings were destroyed
with development in and around
Rickenbacker and the village wants to
ensure that history is not lost, but preserved
for generations to come.
Rediscover Lockbourne is spearheading
the wall project through donations, book
sales, and other fundraisers. The cost of the
project is estimated at $600,000 for 10 to 12
black granite panels installed on the east
side of Veteran’s Park in the center of the
village.
“We hope to unveil the Memorial Wall in
summer or fall of 2026, which is the 80th
anniversary of when the Tuskegee Airmen
arrived at Lockbourne Army Air Base,”
said Ward. “Funding can be a roadblock.
We have applied for Ohio State Capital
Budget monies for the project. If we
receive monies from the state, we can move
forward with the project in the timeline we
have set. If not, we will have to raise the
money at a grassroots level and that may
take time.”
On June 12, the village, Rediscover
Lockbourne and the Ohio Memorial
Chapter Tuskegee Airman, Inc. held an
open house in Lockbourne’s Historical Hall
and Event Center for the memorial wall
project in conjunction with the 2024
Columbus Air Show.
“Designing Local is the design firm for
the project and is responsible for the construction
phase,” said Ward. “We have
partnered with the Tuskegee Airmen Ohio
Memorial Chapter, Motts Museum, 121st
ARW and Hamilton Township High School
on this project. Students from Hamilton
are providing feedback and have been very
engaged in preserving the legacy of the
base and its connection to the school.”
According to Ward, students said the
wall is important to them because it shows
how men and women overcame obstacles.
They also felt it is important to tell the history
of their community and central Ohio,
not only to their generation, but to their
children, and grandchildren.
“Lockbourne Air Force Base was the last
home of the Tuskegee Airmen,” said Ward.
“No other community in the country can
claim that. They were brought here to fail.
Instead, they strove for perfection under
the leadership of then Col. Benjamin A.
Davis Jr. It was the best run base in the
country at that time. Their success contributed
to the integration of the military.
We anticipate the memorial wall to bring
visitors to the region from all over the
country. There is not a monument like this
anywhere else.”
Donations can be made through
Rediscover Lockbourne at P.O. Box 73,
Lockbourne OH 43137. “Crossroads of
Liberty” books are on sale at the village
office for $20. All proceeds benefit the
Memorial Wall Project.

Crabtree paints a picture in flowers
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
A perpetual love of flowers and an eye
for art are united into one focus as Janice
Crabtree paints her Canal Winchester
yard with a wide palette of seasonal blossoms.
Crabtree, who is a Hamilton Township
High School graduate, recently turned her
passion into action by pursuing certification
as a master gardener.
“I’ve always loved flowers and art and
it’s fun to combine the two and design a
garden,” said Crabtree. “My friends, family,
neighbors, and now community members
are always asking for advice. I wanted
to be able to provide accurate, up to date
science-based advice instead of throwing
out old wives’ tales. I will say that many
old garden remedies do work, but I want to
know the reason why.”
According to Crabtree and by definition,
a master gardener has two distinguishable
traits–a commitment to being a community
resource for gardening knowledge, as
well as a desire to teach and mentor other
gardeners.
The certification process, through the
Ohio State University Extension Office,
requires a person seeking certification to
attend classes with speakers and presentations
by experts in various fields such as
botany, invasive plants and insects, and
diseases. They are then required to volunteer
50 hours through a wide variety of
opportunities.
“We can volunteer in booths at fairs and
community events, help at community gardens,
help ill gardeners with their upkeep,
maintain spaces at places like Wagnalls,
write for various publications, etc.,” said
Crabtree. “I’m going to give a presentation
at a meeting and will get hours for doing
that. The opportunities are almost endless.
So many people dove into gardening during
the pandemic and are now looking for
information.”
Crabtree is the administrator for the
Canal Winchester Garden Group Facebook
page and plans to increase interest and
encourage members to share their knowledge
and volunteer in the community in
one capacity or another.
“I remember begging my mom to buy me
a few packets of seeds when I was in elementary
school,” said Crabtree. “She was a
single mom, raising three girls, so I knew I
couldn’t ask for actual plants. The process
of planting those seeds, nurturing them,
and then having neighbors walk by and
comment on them got me hooked. I was fortunate
to visit the Cotswolds in England
and the gardens were just remarkable. I
was also able to go to the RHS Chelsea
Flower Show in London.”
The two experiences cemented her love
of cottage gardens and, while she admires
and is amazed at the intricacies of formal
gardens, there is nothing as formal in her
personal garden, aside from tabletop topiaries.
“Everything else is a bit wild and chaotic,”
she said. “I don’t use chemicals and try
to plant for our pollinators and a biodiverse
garden.”
Crabtree invited visitors into her garden
last year as part of a tour and is participating
again this year.
Canal Winchester Garden Society members
hold individual tours on different days
and their hope is to garner enough interest
to hold a larger tour with multiple gardens
on the same day.
When sharing her knowledge with
novice gardeners, she advises them to
check multiple, reliable sources before trying
a ‘hack’ they may see on social media to
revive or help their plant grow.
“Many innocent plants have succumbed
to crazy social media advice,” said
Crabtree. “I think the biggest mistake new
gardeners make is falling in love with a
plant at the nursery and taking it home
without making sure it’s going to be able to
survive in the area they want to put it.”
She advised the plant information on
the tag is the first thing one should look at
and do not be afraid to dig a plant up and
move it if it is not thriving. Crabtree also
suggests the option of placing perennials in
pots, which she calls a “big money saver.”
“I usually put multiple perennials in a
pot and then plug in a few annuals for
color,” she said. “If you do want to put a
perennial in a pot, you should look for
plants that will survive in two zones colder
than ours. We’re in Zone 6, so I look for
perennials that will survive in Zone 4 or
lower for my containers.”
She loves containers because they can
be moved around to wherever you might
need more color or to fill in a bare spot midseason.
“A mistake many gardeners make with
containers is putting plants that need different
sun exposure or watering needs in
the same pot,” said Crabtree. “Be patient.
The first year your plant will sleep. The
second year it will creep and the third it
will leap.”

The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office, in
partnership with the Community Watch
volunteers, operates a Vacation Check program.

Making hay while the sun shines
www.columbusmessenger.com
By Rick Palsgrove
Managing Editor
The hot days of summer mean it is time
to gather hay down on the farm.
At Metro Parks Slate Run Living
Historical Farm, 1375 State Route 674
North, Canal Winchester, the farmers cut
and gather hay 1880s style.
According to information provided by
Metro Parks, hay seed in the 19th century
was commonly sown in the fields of wheat,
oats, or barley. The hay plants would grow
while protected by the taller grain crop.
After the grain was harvested the hay
would keep growing making the field twice
as useful for the farmer.

Slate Run Living Historical Farm farmer Dave Trotter stands by the farm’s more than
a century old hay loader.
farmer Dave Trotter said the hay on this
farm primarily consists of orchard grass,
leaves, and timothy.
According to Metro Parks information,
clover for use as hay is higher in protein,
which is good for the animals who eat it,
and for soil enrichment. But Trotter added
that clover also has disadvantages.
“Clover is nutritionally nice,” said
Trotter. “But it is hard to work with. It can
dry out and shatter and turn to dust.”
When the hay in the fields is ready to be
gathered, it is mowed and then raked either
by hand or by a horse drawn hay rake.
A hay loader is used to place the hay on
a wagon. Trotter said this machine
replaced six people when it came to gathering
hay in the 1880s as it enabled two people
to do the work.
“You have one person on the wagon and
one person to drive the horses, (in this case
large Percheron horses),” said Trotter.
The particular hay loader the farmers
use at Slate Run dates from the early
1900s, but it has similarities to ones used
in the 1880s. It is a formidable looking
piece of machinery consisting of spikes,
claws, chains, and gears on a wooden bed.
At Slate Run Living Historical Farm,
the farmers put the hay up in the barn
loose rather than in bales.
Most hay in the late 19th century was
put up loose in the barn rather than baled
because baling slowed the process and
required more expensive equipment.
Though some farmers might have baled
some hay in those days to sell it at market.
Once a wagon is piled high with hay it is
wheeled to the barn where the loose hay is
unloaded into the mow. While the hay
could be pitched into the mow by hand
using pitchforks, most farmers of that era
used carriers and tracks to lift and move
the hay.
According to information provided by
Metro Parks, the barn at Slate Run Living
Historical Farm, which was built in 1881,
was designed to use a track system. A grapple
fork held the hay as it was lifted by a
horse pulling on the hay rope. The fork
latched into the carrier at the top of the
barn and rolled along the track. Pulling a
trip rope opened the fork allowing the hay
to drop into the middle of the mow. The hay
was pitched to the sides and more hay
brought up.
So, what’s the difference between hay
and straw?
Hay is the dried leaves, stems, and flowers
of grasses that are used for animal feed.
Straw is the dried stalks of grain plants
such as oats, wheat, and barley that have
been beaten or threshed to remove the seed.
Straw was used for animal bedding as well
as for garden mulch, fertilizer, stuffing
horse collars, making hats, and strawboard.

The swift, life-saving
actions of Groveport
Madison school bus driver
La Shonna Tanyhill in May
were honored by the
Madison Township Fire
Department at the Madison
Township trustees’ May 28
meeting.
“On May 9, she (Tanyhill)
was driving her normal
route with 28 students,”
said Madison Township Fire
Chief Derek Robinson, who
added everyone on the bus
first noticed a smell before a
noise and then the driver
felt the bus handle differently.
“She pulled over to the
side of the road. A passerby
stopped and said she saw
possible smoke and flames
coming from the bus. She
(Tanyhill) got them (Middle
School Central students) off
the bus and into a safe
zone.”
Robinson said his department
got a call about the situation
at 3:14 p.m. and
arrived on scene five minutes
later. The school bus was completely
engulfed in flames when firefighters
arrived.
“Because of her swift actions, everyone
was safe,” said Robinson. “What she did
was an incredible feat to protect those children.”
Other Madison Township news
•Madison Township Police Chief Gary
York discussed a $155,536 Violent Crime
Reduction Grant from the Ohio Criminal
Justice Service to purchase five Flock license
plate reader cameras for the township. The
cameras can alert officers to stolen vehicles
or a suspect in a violent crime.
Grant funding will also be used to purchase
a mobile surveillance trailer–which is
equipped with remote cameras, strobes, flood
lights, motion sensors, and speakers–used
to monitor areas throughout the township.
The township was the only agency in the
county to receive the funding, which was
the second highest awarded in the state.
“The grant was specifically for Flock
cameras and the surveillance trailer to
help reduce crime,” said York. “This is very
exciting. They do act as the gatekeepers of

Story of a Bill, Part IV
and Update on Getting
President Biden on the
November Ballot
In previous communications with you, I have
chronicled the journey of House Bill 364, a measure
to allow the noncommercial distribution of
milkweed seeds to promote monarch butterfly
population growth, in its quest to be enacted
into law. You may recall that the bill was referred
to the House Agriculture Committee. Sponsor
testimony, proponent testimony, and opponent
testimony (of which there was none) was completed
across two committee meetings.
The measure was scheduled for a committee
vote on May 6. Unfortunately, that vote was delayed
due to a reorganization of the leadership
of the committee. Don Jones, from Freeport in
Harrison County, now serves as chair. He
rescheduled the vote for May 20. It passed
through the committee unanimously, 11 to 0.
The bill is scheduled for a vote by the entire
House on June 12. I will explain the measure to
my Republican colleagues at our issues caucus
the day prior, then will advocate for it on the
House floor at Session before the vote. I am
hopeful for a positive vote at that time. Assuming
success, the bill then proceeds to the Senate
for its consideration.
As I wrote in my last column, I sponsored House
Bill 2, a simple four-sentence, 26-line proposal to
change the deadline for a major political party to
name its presidential and vice presidential candidates
to 65 days from 90 in 2024 during the
Legislature’s Special Session called by Governor
DeWine the week after Memorial Day. In the
compressed timeframe, I filed the bill with the
House Clerk’s Office on Tuesday morning that
week at 8:00. At 10:00, I attended the meeting of
the House Government Oversight Committee to
provide sponsor testimony. The next day I was
appointed to fill a temporary vacancy on the
committee and was seated in time to hear proponent
and opponent testimony. We voted it
out of committee unanimously the following
morning. It passed the House 63 to 31 later that
day, with majorities from both parties voting in
favor of it. The Senate then passed it 30 to 1 on
Friday and the Governor signed it on Sunday,
June 2.
A few days later, I was invited to the Governor’s
Office for the ceremonial signing of the bill.
There Governor DeWine thanked me for sponsoring
the bill that essentially assures that President
Biden will appear on our November
election ballot. He provided me a framed copy
of the bill with the signatures of House Speaker
Jason Stephens, Senate President Matt Huffman,
and the Governor, along with the actual pen with
which he signed it.
(Dave Dobos represents the 10th District in the
Ohio House of Representatives, which consists of
parts of West, Southwest, and South Columbus,

Beekeeper group marks
its fifth anniversary
The Fairfield County Beekeepers
Association marked its fifth anniversary
with a new meeting place and full
Beginner Beekeeping classes.
FCBA formed in 2019 to give beekeepers
in or near Fairfield County a place to mingle
with other beekeepers, learn about best
management practices, provide outreach
to the community about honey bees and
the environment, and attract and train
new beekeepers. When the club was told
last November that it needed to find a new
meeting place, the Central Ohio Coon
Hunters Club, on Coonpath Road, offered
their club house as a meeting place and a
big open field for FCBA’s apiary. The Coon
Hunters Club does conservation projects
and plans to create an insect-friendly field
of wildflowers. They were hoping to attract
some bees and other pollinators to their
property.
Each November, news about the FCBA
Beginner Beekeeping Scholarship goes out
to schools, 4-H and agriculture groups,
and to military veterans. The club offers
scholarships covering a class, hives and
bees, plus year-long mentoring for the
scholarship recipients.
Then in early spring, before the bees
come out of their winter clusters, FCBA
offers day-long educational trainings about
how to begin beekeeping. The club helps
newcomers get their woodenware hives
and order bees. Once spring weather
comes, the club offers twice monthly training
in their training bee yard (apiary) for
the new beekeepers. Experienced mentors
are also assigned to those “NewBees” that
want them.
The club meets monthly, providing an
educational speaker at each meeting, a
chance to win a bee related door prize (all
donated) and time to hang out and talk
bees with other beekeepers. FCBA member
volunteers do many outreach activities,
like presentations for adult or young people’s
groups and provide a huge display of
hands-on artifacts about bees, activities for
kids and a live observation hive at many
festivals and fairs around Fairfield County.
FCBA will have a live demonstration in
the bee yard and a booth of hands-on artifacts
for the Central Oho Coon Hunters
Family Day in June. FCBA also sells raw,
local honey from its members.
FCBA meets every month except
December on the third Tuesday of the
month, at 7 p.m. The training bee yard is
scheduled to meet at the club apiary on the
property, at 6 p.m. on the Tuesday of the
club meeting. There is typically another
training yard demonstration on another
Tuesday in the month, at 6 p.m. as well.
Information about scheduled bee yard
dates are on the group’s Facebook page.
Visitors are welcome to attend a meeting
to learn more. Information can be
found on the club website at fairfieldcountybeekeepers.org
and on the Facebook
page, www.facebook.com/groups/fairfieldcountybeekeepers.org.
Yearly membership
is $15 for a single and $25 for a family One
can join online at Square store,
tinyurl.com/fcbashop. You don’t have to be
a beekeeper to join.
CW City Council
Canal Winchester City Council meetings
are held on the first and third Monday
of every month. Meetings begin at 7 p.m.
The meetings are open to the public.
Council meets in work session at 6 p.m.
prior to each city council meeting to discuss
legislative items and other issues of the
city prior to being included on a city council
agenda. The first work session of the
month focuses on finance/economic development
items and the second monthly
work session focuses on service/safety
items. While each work session includes
specific areas of focus, other items may be
brought before council as needed.
Obetz Police news
Obetz Police Chief Mike Confer reported
at the May 13 Obetz City Council meeting
that the Flock cameras installed in
Obetz have picked up “at least five stolen
vehicles.” He also said there has been
extra traffic enforcement on Groveport
Road and Rathmell Road.

Wood and fabric weave
a family’s history
Years ago, when my grandmother gave
up her belongings because of ill health and
moved to a nursing home, I told my mother
and aunt I wanted to be the next in line for
my grandparents’ dining room set.
Linda
Dillman
Places
Consisting of a
wonderful old sideboard,
matching oak
table and chairs, and
a simple glass fronted
hutch (which I didn’t
want at the time, but
later gratefully rehomed
from a cousin),
the set was the keeper
of so many memories
of our small family.
It served many
purposes throughout
the decades and it
occupied center stage
in my grandparents’
dining room. My grandpa played cassette
tapes of classical music on a small, boxy
player sitting in the middle of the sideboard.
Sunday afternoons were filled with
music as my grandma fixed after-church
lunches for all five of us–me, my parents
and my grandparents.
On holidays, the numbers swelled to
include my aunt, uncle and cousins.
During the week, the dining room table
sometimes turned into a makeshift cutting
board, where my grandma carefully turned
fabric into mosaic pieces she handcrafted
into heirloom quilts. Her stitches were so
even, it gave the appearance they were
done by a machine.
I remember so many times visiting my
grandparents and seeing a quilt in
progress carefully stretched on a frame in
the dining room. It was strategically located
beneath a north window with bright sun
and forsythia framing the view.
Throughout the years and thousands of
miles that the table set and sideboard traveled
with us across America and the Pacific
Ocean to Japan, it endured. It was a silent
witness to birthdays and holidays in a foreign
land, served as a project assembly
line, and absorbed the tears of emotional
highs and lows.
We once had the opportunity to purchase
a handsome, eight-seat rosewood
table set in Japan just months before we
CW Library Branch
transferred back to the states. At the time,
1989, Lazarus was selling a similar set for
over $10,000. This one was priced at
$3,000.
Right before we signed the order, my
husband turned to me and asked what we
were going to do with my grandparents’
dining room furniture. We would never
have the space for two large sets, even if
one was repurposed.
I looked at him, at the beautiful rosewood
dining room table, and told the salesperson,
sorry, but we would not be placing
the order.
Over time, I reupholstered the chairs
many times, but never removed their original
yellowing faux leather covering. I just
could not throw away the fabric that once
touched not only my grandparents, but relatives
I only knew through memories
shared throughout the years.
Eventually, the glue holding the chairs
together began to dry, causing the legs and
supporting cross bars to loosen. The chairs
became wiggly despite my best efforts and
my husband I started talking about getting
them repaired. Generally, this happened
after the latest family dinner, but the talk
went on for years.
One day we finally loaded up the
chairs–I carted the captain’s chair in my
hatchback and a side chair in the front seat
and my husband wrestled the rest into his
car. He found a qualified and experienced
furniture restorer not far from where we
live.
A week later we got a call the chairs
were ready and we picked them up later
that afternoon. The wiggle was gone. The
chairs felt more solid than the day they
first came into our stewardship. They were
loaded back into our cars in the same order
they were delivered to the restorer.
On the way home, I held onto the chair
the same way I put my hand across one of
our daughters when they were small when
I had to stop fast. I don’t know why I did
that. The chair was secure in the seat, but
I felt protective of it.
My grandpa passed away in 1978, a
year after our first daughter was born. My
grandma passed away in 1983, a year after
our second daughter was born.
Maybe the old oak chair brought them
close to me again.
Maybe it made me reconnect with their
memories.
All I know is they hold the stories of our
family deep within their wood and fabric
and it is up to me to pass that along.
