Obetz workers respond
to water line break
According to city of Obetz officials, on July 29 a contractor accidentally
knocked a fire hydrant off its base on Lancaster Street
during the construction of the new park.
The incident caused pressure surges in the pipes and resulting
in two main water line breaks. The first break occurred on the
park side of Lancaster Street, and the second at the intersection
of Marlboro Avenue and Mathews Avenue, necessitating a temporary
shutdown of water service in the area.
Officials said the repair work, particularly on Lancaster
Street, proved complex due to the proximity of underground data
lines. Through a specialized hydrovac technique, which uses
water to safely excavate around these sensitive areas, city of
Obetz staff was able to ensure the integrity of the data lines and
infrastructure.
On July 31 the boil alert affecting the surrounding areas of
Lancaster Street, Marlboro Avenue, and Mathews Avenue was
lifted.
Officials said the incident highlighted the “exceptional teamwork”
of the city of Obetz staff and the invaluable contribution of
seasonal staff and interns.
The interns gained hands-on experience and worked closely
with full-time staff, achieving a restoration of water service within
12 hours. The efforts were led by city of Obetz full time staff
members who provided crucial guidance on water system operations
and repair techniques.

As we grow older, a number of
factors may cause gums to recede,
leaving the upper portion of
the root exposed and vulnerable.
Although this shrinking of the
gums, called gingival recession, is
age-related, it is not found in
every older adult and varies in degree
with each individual.
Gum recession and exposed
roots may be the ultimate result
of a build-up plaque that was not
adequately removed. Also, improper
or aggressive tooth brushing
can irritate the gums and
gradually cause them to recede. A
patient’s root sensitivity can range
from mild to severe and be triggered
by heat, cold, touch, and
certain spicy foods.
Treatment of sensitivity begins
with fluoride, which is absorbed
by the root, remineralizes the
tooth surface, and lessens the
pain. If you don’t find relief with a
fluoride rinse, your dentist may
prescribe a gel containing a
higher fluoride concentration. In
more extreme cases, your dentist
may recommend coating the root
with a protective veneer.
Prepared as a public service
to promote better dental health.

Most of all, Rose was a proud and loving nana to her three granddaughters.
She called them the sunshine of her life and she cherished the
memories and time spent with them.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her half-sisters,

CW goes
international
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Canal Winchester is going international
with an African Culture and Arts
Festival coordinated by the Canal
Winchester Performing Arts Collective
and the Young African Vision
Organization.
The festival showcases performing and
visual arts, dance, cultural workshops
including crafts and drumming, African
documentaries, and food on and around the
grounds of Gender Road Christian Church.
“In January of this year, Ibrahima
Diallo reached out to me to see if our
organization would be interested in collaborating
with him on the festival,” said
Todd Phillips, Canal Winchester
Performing Arts Collective director. “This
type of festival is a completely new idea for
our area. We spoke extensively with community
members, city officials, and
Destination Canal Winchester for advice
in creating our event since they have been
so successful with all of our local celebrations
like the Blues and Rib Fest and
Labor Day Festival.”
Phillips said the international
exchange of cultures and understanding
will have a long lasting impact on the
region with its ability to celebrate world
diversity and reveal the universality of the
human condition.
“While borders may separate us, the
arts can draw us together,” said Phillips.
“There is no similar program or event
offered in our area and given the current
mood in our country, an event such as this
can help us connect and heal the misconceptions
that drive us apart. The festival
will be a celebration of many cultures.
There will be performers, vendors and
foods tied directly to Africa. Also, there
will be performers, vendors and foods that
historically have a connection to the
African peoples, but also show the influences
of other world cultures.”
The celebration is free to the public and
will be held on Aug. 9 from noon until 10
p.m. and on Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
“My entire organization is thrilled to be
involved with this project. It is a bit out of
our original vision, but that makes it even
more exciting,” said Phillips. “We’re so
happy to help bring a multicultural event
to the Canal Winchester area. It gives us
the opportunity to build our outreach and
our own personal knowledge of these often
over-looked people.”

Neighbors
concerned
about
pickleball
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
Many Canal Winchester residents
eagerly awaited the arrival of the five pickleball
courts at McGill Park, but some
neighboring residents are not happy with
the sounds of players using the courts after
hours and with security lights illuminating
nearby homes.
“We are aware of the complaints on the
lighting at McGill Park,” said Canal
Winchester City Administrator Matt
Peoples. “We feel there needs to be lighting
for security of the park, but also know
we have to balance that and be a good
neighbor. Previously we put a large number
of lights on a timer that turn off at 11
p.m. and are working to get additional
lights to turn off on the same schedule.
The pickleball court lights are on a timer
that turns them off at 10 p.m. and those
are down-facing lights that do not bleed off
the courts.”
The courts are located on the east side
of town at 6725 Lithopolis Western Road
and opened for play on July 18. At this
time, they are not reservable. Players
must bring their own equipment.
In the city’s July newsletter, Mayor Joe
Steager said, “Baby boomers will be glad to
know that the new courts have a special
five-layer cushion coating making play
easier on your joints compared to standard
tennis or pickleball hard courts.”
McGill Park also features walking
trails, a nature-themed playground, soccer
fields, benches, an open shelter house, seasonal
portable restrooms, ample parking, a
rentable three season shelter house with
picnic table seating, patio areas on the east
and west sides of the building, and two
charcoal grills near the west patio.
CW Council meetings
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.

Continuing to marvel at Marvel Universe
It is the question on the minds of comic
book movie fans and studio executives for
the last five years: What is the Marvel
Cinematic Universe without heroes Iron
Man, Captain America, Black Panther and
Black Widow?
Dedra
Cordle
The Reel Deal
Ever since
“Avengers: Endgame”
tied a neat bow on a
decades worth of
interconnected blockbuster storytelling,
the recent phases that have aimed to continue
the lore with a slew of new superheroes,
the recasting of original superheroes,
the introduction of new villains,
and the expansion of the multiverse have
been met with a shrug by casual fans and
the most ardent fans alike. With changes
in direction involving more television
shows and one-shots than before, and a
handful of movies that were not striking
the right chord with the audience, there
has been plenty of handwringing as to
whether the MCU has what it takes to
build another compelling arc and bring
viewers back to the theaters in droves.
What has given some fans a glimmer of
hope that their favorite movie studio could
find its way out of the pop culture timeout
corner is an acquisition that occurred
between The Walt Disney Company and
20th Century Fox. Just as the “Avengers”
were wrapping up the first three phases of
storytelling, the Mouse House purchased
the beleaguered 20th Century Fox for a
whopping $71 billion, thus allowing the
MCU exclusivity to beloved properties like
The Fantastic Four and the X-Men, to
name a few.
In a somewhat surprising move, the
MCU by and large stayed out of the sandbox
filled with shining new gems, much to
the dismay of the clamoring fans. But all of
that changed two years ago when actor
Ryan Reynolds announced two things: that
a third “Deadpool” movie was in the works
and that actor Hugh Jackman had agreed
to appear in it, reprising his role once again
as the beloved adamantium-clawed
Wolverine from the “X-Men” film franchise.
If you had thought the hand wringing was
bad when comic book movie fans believed the
imagination well had run dry with the MCU
adaptation, imagine what took place when
they heard that Deadpool — a character
famously known for his pansexuality, his violence,
and his vulgarity — would be teaming
up with Wolverine — a character also famously
known for his violence and colorful language
— for a movie produced by a studio
famously known for its clean cut image. To
say that it was like ants on an anthill scurrying
away from an approaching lawnmower
that was shooting flames from the blade
would be putting it mildly.
Having seen this movie mashup that
was created under the umbrella of Disney,
I have to say that anyone who was worried
that the Mouse House would rein in all of
the violence and profanities produced by
these two characters can breathe a sigh of
relief. In the entertaining and only somewhat
annoying “Deadpool & Wolverine,”
everything that you love about these two
are there and then some. Want them to be
outrageously brutal and violent? They are.
Want them to drop F-bombs and other colorful
turns of phrases? They do. Want them
to quip their way out of expressing their
internal pain? They have that covered.
Want them to eventually display a little
heart amongst all the mayhem? They do
that too. And frankly, so does this movie,
which basically serves as a fan service love
letter to the 20th Century Fox comic book
movie heroes and villains. I don’t know
what it means going forward with their
inclusion into the greater MCU, but if the
studio is willing to take more risks by
allowing its new and old characters to drop
some curse words, have a bit of sex (or at
least talk about it), and show a bit of gore
as superpowered beings clash I think they
might be OK.
As mentioned above, this movie is a surprisingly
endearing love letter to the Fox
era of Marvel films and a big shot of muchneeded
vitality into the Marvel Cinematic
Universe. While paper thin on plot — Ryan
Reynolds joked during the promotional
tour that it was “as paper thin as a sequel
to ‘Battlefield Earth’” — “Deadpool &
Wolverine” soars on the strength of the
effortless chemistry of co-stars Reynolds
and Jackman and also this series’ commitment
to mixing humor and heart with
blood-soaked mayhem.
Six years have passed since the second
installment in the “Deadpool” film franchise
was released into the theaters, and
the film covered those six years with a wink
and a grin, pointing out the merger
between the two companies and the fact
that we are joining the MCU “at a low point
in its history.” Speaking of low points,
Deadpool alter-ego Wade Wilson (Reynolds)
is also at a low point in his life after his
services were rejected by the Avengers and
his girlfriend Vanessa (Morena Baccarin)
left him for being so aimless.
Now working as a used car salesman
alongside best friend and his number one
supporter Peter (Rob Delaney), Wade’s new
life takes a turn for the worse (or maybe
better, considering his love of violence)
when he is unexpectedly apprehended by
agents with the Time Variance Authority,
an organization whose employees are
tasked with preventing the existence of
certain timelines that are deemed too dangerous
to the multiverse. While initially
blaming his capture on his brief stint with
manipulating time in order to revive
Vanessa and try to set things right, lead
agent Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen,
having a blast) clarifies that is it actually
because his universe’s “anchor being” died,
which will unravel the threads of time and
space in his world and lead to its inevitable
www.columbusmessenger.com
end. And just who is the anchor being?
None other than Wolverine (Jackman),
who met his final end in the great 2017
film “Logan.”
Despite his deep hatred for the adamantium-clawed
superhero, Wade decides he
has no choice but to journey through the
multiverse and find a variant Wolverine to
replace that one who died so heroically.
The only problem is that the variant he
brought back with him is considered “the
worst Wolverine” for his lack of interest in
helping others.
I know there are a lot of fans out there
who are waiting to see this movie when the
crowds clear out a bit so I’ll try to keep
things spoiler-free. But let’s just say that
things go completely pear-shaped from
there and the titular duo end up in a desolate
wasteland called “the void” where the
other comic book superhero and villain castoffs
have been sent. Oh, and it’s ruled by a
telekinetically blessed Cassandra Nova
(Emma Corin) who wants to capture the
newcomers and feed them to a cloud-like,
trans-temporal entity that patrols the void
and has a taste for variants who disobey her
orders. Although both Deadpool and
Wolverine are not known for their smarts,
they know when they have to call a truce
and work together to save their lives. And
that is where all of the bloody fun begins.
Going into a “Deadpool” movie, you
expect to have a decent, if not good, time.
Like its predecessors, crude jokes and wild
violence are dealt in equal measure with
sharp, fast-paced writing carrying laughs
from one scene to the next. Reynolds’
comedic timing remains unchanged, but
the natural rapport he has with Jackman
provided a new layer of entertainment as
the two exchange barbs, banter, and bloody
knuckles throughout the movie.
But the film is not just about violence
and quips: there are some emotional beats
within, most coming from Jackman as he
brings some much-needed emotional
grounding to “Deadpool & Wolverine.” His
character is the tortured sort and his portrayal
of the guilt-ridden superhero is once
again out of this world. No wonder there is
a quip in the movie that states Disney will
make him play this role until he is ninety.
While the movie pretty much delivers on
everything most fans wanted to see, those
who may have been expecting — or wanting
— more of a tie-in with the broader MCU
will be disappointed. As mentioned far
above, this movie feels more like fan service,
a love letter to the past, than a genuine
open-armed embrace of these characters
into the wilder world of Avengers storytelling.
It could be there in the future — I
hope it is given the life Deadpool and
Wolverine injected into the company — but
they could also go into a new direction.
Whatever they choose to do, at least we
have this wildly entertaining and nostalgia-ridden
movie to revisit.

Learn a new language
Students face many challenges during
their academic careers. Overcoming those
challenges not only sets a strong foundation
for success in the classroom, but also
outside of the classroom.
Foreign language courses pose a significant
challenge to many students. But
learning a second language can benefit students
in both the short- and long-term.
• Early language learning can improve
cognitive abilities. The American Council
on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
notes that various studies dating back several
decades have connected language
learning with improved cognitive abilities.
Such studies have linked early language
learning with higher IQs and superior
problem-solving skills compared to nonbilingual
students.
• Bilingualism can improve memory. A
study published in the Scandinavian
Journal of Psychology found that bilingualism
had positive effects on both episodic
memory and semantic memory. Episodic
memory is a type of long-term memory that
involves conscious recollection of previous
experiences together with their context.
Semantic memory also is a type of long-term
memory that involves the capacity to recall
words, concepts or numbers. Strengthening
these types of memory can benefit children
in the classroom and outside the classroom
when they reach adulthood.
• Bilingualism can benefit working professionals.
The benefits of bilingualism
don’t end once students enter the workforce
as professionals. In fact, a 2017 study
of data from the market analytics firm
Burning Glass Technologies found that,
between 2010 and 2015, the number of job
postings aimed at bilingual workers nearly
tripled, rising from 240,000 in 2010 to
630,000 by 2015. Students who put in the
effort to learn a foreign language during
their academic careers can benefit greatly
from that hard work when the time comes
to begin their professional careers.
• Bilingualism can make foreign travel
easier. In addition to improving students’
academic and professional prospects, bilingualism
can make it easier for students to
fully engage in other cultures when they
travel overseas. Understanding a native
tongue in a foreign country can simplify
travel within that country and potentially
pave the way for lifelong friendships.
Developing fluency in a foreign language
is no small task, but it’s one that’s
well worth the effort.
School bus safety
The dawn of a new school year is a time
marked by change and fresh opportunities.
For many children, school marks the first
time they are away from their parents for
an extended period of time. It also may be
the first time they ride in a vehicle other
than their parents’ cars.
Each school day, 25 million children
ride a bus to school in the United States. A
school bus is among the safest modes of
transport and one of the most regulated
vehicles on the road, according to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Riding a school bus can be a novel experience
no matter a student’s age or grade.
Kindergarteners may be introduced to the
school bus on their first day of school, while
older students are no doubt familiar with
life inside a school bus. But all students
and families can benefit from a refresher
course on school bus procedures to ensure
this school year begins on safe footing.
• Be a smart pedestrian. Riding the
school bus is very safe, but injuries can
occur walking to and from the bus stop.
Watch for cars backing out of driveways
and always look both ways multiple times
before crossing streets.
• Remember school bus laws. Most
areas of the country have specific school
bus laws that include stopping when red
lights are flashing on the school bus. Cars
must stop whether they’re behind the
school bus, next to it or on the opposite side
of the street facing the bus. Stopping allows
passengers to enter or exit the bus safely.
• Stand away from the curb. The
National Safety Council advises keeping
six feet, or three giant steps, away from the
curb while waiting for the bus. Young children
should be carefully supervised.
• Be visible. Always cross in front of the
bus, making eye contact with the driver so
that he or she knows your intentions before
crossing. If you drop something, do not
bend down to pick it up. Tell the driver
instead.
• Remain seated. Find a seat promptly
and remain seated for the duration of the
ride. Do not stand up and proceed down the
center aisle until the bus has stopped.
• Minimize distractions. Always speak
softly and behave so that you do not distract
the driver.

Imagine Great Western Academy (IGWA) has
been serving the Westside of Columbus for more
than 20 years.
Built on the idea that we must always try to be
something special, our school has become the
kind of place where families, students, and staff
feel welcome, safe, and like they belong. We
believe in educating beyond academics and offer
a range of opportunities for students from all
backgrounds and cultures to grow as humans, citizens,
individuals, and important parts of our
National School Lunch and Breakfast
Canal Winchester Schools will offer breakfast and lunch at no
cost for all students during the 2024-25 school year through a new
option within the National School Lunch and School Breakfast
Programs.
For the upcoming school year, the district qualified for the
Community Eligibility Provision, an option available to the
nation’s highest-poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast
and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting
household applications. Approximately 45 percent of Canal
Winchester students qualified for free or reduced lunch during the
2023-24 school year.
Key benefits of the program: Ensures all students have access
to nutritious meals; Enhances students’ concentration, academic
performance, and overall health; Reduces food insecurity and stigma
associated with free meals; Creates a more inclusive and supportive
school environment; and Increases student participation
in school meals.
“This initiative supports our students’ well-being, ensuring
they have the nutrition they need to stay focused and succeed in
the classroom,” said Canal Winchester Schools Superintendent
Kiya Hunt. “By removing the barriers of food insecurity, we are
creating a more equitable learning environment and easing the
financial burden on families. This program is a significant step
forward in our commitment to supporting the whole child and
enhancing the educational experience for every student in our district.”
Schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based
on the percentage of enrolled students who are eligible for free
meals based on participation in other programs, like the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Temporary
Assistance for Need Families.
“Through this program, we’ll be able to ensure that all of our
students have access to a healthy breakfast and lunch each school
day at a minimal cost to the district,” said Canal Winchester
Schools Treasurer Nick Roberts. “We’re excited to offer this opportunity
to better support children and families in our community
and to further enrich the educational resources and experiences
that Canal Winchester Schools provides.”
Free meals for all students - also called universal free meals -
provide numerous benefits, including ensuring that all students
have access to nutritious meals, which can enhance their concentration,
academic performance, and overall health. These programs
can also reduce food insecurity and stigma associated with
free meals, creating a more inclusive and supportive school environment.
Research shows that participation in the CEP program
increases the number of students who participate in school meals,
particularly for students whose family income is near the free
meal eligibility cut-off.
The Canal Winchester Board of Education is expected to vote to
formally approve participation in the program at a board meeting
in August. Canal Winchester Schools partners with Chartwells to
provide student dining services.

Central Ohio
Projects in the
State’s Capital Budget
In my last column, I wrote about the construction
projects in our district that received funding in the
community portion of Ohio’s capital budget. You
may recall that, out of the total $4.2 billion capital
budget, $870 million was allocated to community
building projects--$170 million as a regular amount
and $700 million in one-time funds resulting from
the last biennium budget’s surplus in unanticipated
collections.
Over 130 projects totaling over $500 million of requests
surfaced from throughout central Ohio. The
Columbus Partnership, the public/private entity
that is charged with promoting our region’s economic
growth, acted as a clearinghouse for the collection
of information about all the proposals.
Columbus area legislators, both Democratic and Republican,
came together to prioritize the projects
and recommend funding for those we deemed the
worthiest. I was encouraged by the spirit of camaraderie
and collaboration among my colleagues. All
of us wanted to do what was in the best collective
interest of our area of the state and our work got accomplished
accordingly. Today I will describe some
of the projects that will affect central Ohio.
In extensive consultation with community leaders,
municipal and county elected officials, and business
leaders, six projects were identified that would have
far-reaching impact across the region. Collectively,
these six projects garnered about two-thirds of the
region’s total funding. They include $20 million toward
the Ohio Center for Advanced Technologies at
Columbus State Community College. The Center
will help train many area residents to take the
emerging jobs in high tech manufacturing, biological
sciences, medicine, construction, and information
technology coming to our region as a result of
Intel, Google, and others locating major facilities
here. The Columbus Symphony will obtain $18.5
million toward its new concert hall and expanded
performing arts outreach initiatives.. The Downtown
Capital Line, the first phase of a comprehensive
downtown area activity development effort for
residents and tourists alike, will receive $10 million.
The Heritage Bicycle Trail expansion will be funded,
in part, with $8 million. The $2 billion John Glenn
International Airport expansion will receive $7.5 million
in seed money. Finally, renovations for Nationwide
Arena will get $2 million for its facility
modernization. Although all these projects will require
significant additional private investment, the
state felt it should supplement such efforts for initiatives
that will affect so many folks throughout our
community.
I will describe some of the many additional smaller
central Ohio projects that obtained the remaining
funding in my next communication with you.

Madison Township seeks road money
Trustees want to “stop the
bleeding and repair roads”
By Linda Dillman
Staff Writer
The Madison Township trustees want to
shore up the township’s declining roads
without going directly to the ballot by collecting
available inside millage.
If the action is approved by Franklin
County and enacted by the trustees, collections
from properties in the unincorporated
areas would jump from $150,000 on an
annual basis to $553,875 for the township’s
road and bridge fund. It would cost the
owner of a $100,000 home $50.75.
“This is something we need public
input,” it would give us more leverage
when we apply for grants,” said Trustee
Katherine Chipps.
Trustee John Pritchard said if the township
moves forward with the idea, the
township could “stop the bleeding and
repair the roads.”
Madison Township Administrator
Susan Brobst said at one time the township
funded road and bridge repair with a
road levy and employed a seven man crew.
Voters turned down renewal of the levy.
Currently there are four department
employees.
“We’re trying to lay things out and tell
the community,” said Pritchard. “The redheaded
stepchild of the township is our
road department. Our guys work hard.
We’re trying to do the best we can with the
money we have, but we don’t have the
money. I hate taxes too, but were trying to
you give the facts and the reality of the situation.”
The trustees agreed to reach out to the
Citizens Advisory Committee, as well as
the public, before making any decisions

AEDs in schools
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently
signed House Bill 47 during a ceremony at
Worthington Kilbourne High School. The
new law will require automated external
defibrillators (AEDs) to be placed in every
public and chartered nonpublic school in
Ohio.
“The evidence is clear: AEDs save lives,”
said DeWine. “While we know that sudden
cardiac arrest is the number one killer of
student-athletes in America, we also know
the vast majority who get immediate help
from an AED survive. The difference these
devices make is astounding. Having them
on standby in our schools to safeguard our
students is a must.”
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, more than 356,000
out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each
year in the United States. An estimated 70
to 90 percent of these people die before
reaching the hospital. However, the
American Heart Association reports that
nine out of 10 cardiac arrest victims will
live if they receive a shock from an AED in
the first minute after an incident.
One such survivor is Canen Dickman, a
sophomore at Worthington Kilbourne who
says an AED saved his life last year after
he collapsed during a summer soccer practice.
His coaches responded immediately,
performing CPR and using an AED from a
nearby building to restore Canen’s pulse
before he was transported to the hospital.
Canen recovered and is now back playing
soccer once again.
“We hope that the passing of this bill
will help save lives, just as mine was saved,
because if it weren’t for AEDs and CPR
training in our school, I would not be here
today,” Canen said.
Sponsored by Rep. Adam Bird (R-New
Richmond) and Rep. Richard Brown (D-
Canal Winchester), HB 47 goes beyond
merely requiring AEDs to be placed in
schools. It will also require the Ohio
Department of Health to develop a model
emergency action plan for the use of AEDs.
All public and chartered nonpublic schools
will be required to adopt their own emergency
action plan and practice it at least
quarterly.
The Ohio Department of Education and
Workforce will develop a system for violations
to be reported if schools do not properly
place AEDs in their facilities or fail to
adopt and practice an emergency action
plan.
The bill also requires schools to train
teachers, administrators, coaches, athletic
trainers, and anyone else supervising student-athletes
on how and when to use
AEDs.
Since young athletes often compete at
other venues besides their school, the bill
also requires AEDs to be placed at all
municipally owned or operated sports and
recreation locations.
Finally, the bill requires schools and
youth sports organizations to hold informational
meetings each sports season regarding
the symptoms and warning signs of
sudden cardiac arrest for young athletes of
all ages.
Law supported by the NFL
Representatives from the National
Football League (NFL) also attended the
bill-signing ceremony.
In March 2023, the NFL, along with
other major sports organizations and leading
patient and health advocacy groups,
announced the formation of the Smart
Heart Sports Coalition. The group advocates
for schools to have AEDs, emergency
action plans, and CPR/AED training for
coaches.
One of the coalition’s member organizations
is the Make Them Known Your Name
(MTKYN) Foundation. Formed by
Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward
and his mother, Nicole Ward, following the
unexpected loss of Denzel’s father to a sudden
cardiac arrest, MTKYN works to
spread resources, education, and awareness
for heart health and CPR/AED training
across Cleveland and beyond.
“Today, my heart is full,” Nicole Ward
said. “With this bill, we will create a new
standard of AED access and preparedness.
It will become normal to enter our schools
and recreation centers and be able to rest
knowing that an AED is on-site, and that
people know exactly what to do and how to
respond confidently and quickly in the
event of a cardiac emergency.”
The Smart Heart Sports Coalition was
founded in response to the life-saving
emergency response and care provided to
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during
a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in
January 2023.
Hamlin wrote a letter of support for HB
47, which was read during the ceremony.
“Today’s bill-signing is a testament to
leadership and teamwork, and I thank and
applaud Governor DeWine, the leaders of
the Ohio legislature, the bill sponsors, and
the many Smart Heart Sports Coalition
team members who came together to move
this life-saving legislation forward,”
Hamlin said as part of his letter. “I’ll
always consider Ohio my second home, and
I’m delighted that this new law makes the
places around the state where young people
learn, play, and compete safer, more
resilient, and better prepared to respond to
a cardiac emergency. This is a big win for
young people throughout Ohio.”
Host an exchange student
Open your heart and home - host an
exchange student.
Many students from around the world
will be coming to live and study in the
United States 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

County receives awards
Franklin County has received four
awards from the National Association of
Counties (NACo) for its innovative programming.
The first three highlight the
effective work being done in local health
and human services programing.
Each year, NACo presents achievement
awards to highlight exceptional programs
across 18 categories, reflecting the diverse
and comprehensive services provided by
counties nationwide. The awards given to
Job and Family Services, Office on Aging,
and Justice Policy and Programs agencies
underscore the hard work of each agency to
strengthen services for Franklin County
residents.
“We are honored to receive multiple
NACo Achievement Awards, which recognize
impactful public service and excellence
in county government,” said Board of
Commissioner president Kevin Boyce.
“This recognition reflects our health and
human services team’s commitment to
delivering outcomes for our residents and
showcases our Franklin County initiatives
designed to enhance the community.”
The Department of Job and Family
Services was honored in the children and
youth category for its innovative Franklin
County RISE initiative. This investment
by the board of commissioners aims to
strengthen the foundation and close opportunity
gaps in the local childcare system.
The Office on Aging received an achievement
award in the human services category
for its Bridge Team initiative. This program
provides onsite case management
and streamlines services for older residents,
caregivers, and kinship caregivers,
demonstrating a strong commitment to
enhancing the well-being of the community.
The third was awarded to the Office of
Justice Policy and Program in the criminal
justice and public safety category for its
Stop Addiction for Everyone Resource
(SAFER) Station, which addresses addiction
and supports public safety. SAFER
station is a resource hub that offers accessibility
for substance use treatment, located
in one of the county’s top zip codes for
fatal overdoses.
“These awards are a celebration of the
collective effort and collaboration of our
staff, partners, and community members,”
said commissioner John O’Grady. “It highlights
our ongoing mission to enhance the
quality of life for all residents through comprehensive
health and human services. We
are proud of this achievement and motivated
to build on this success for a healthier,
stronger community.”
Since its founding in 1970, NACo’s
Achievement Awards program has celebrated
innovation in county government.
By fostering a culture of creativity and
proactive problem-solving, county leaders
and employees develop and implement pioneering
solutions that enhance the quality
of life for residents. These innovations span
various sectors, from public health and
social services to community resources and
support services, showcasing the dynamic
and multifaceted nature of county operations.
“Winning these awards showcases our
commitment to providing exceptional
health and human services. It is a reflection
of our team’s unwavering passion and
dedication to meeting the needs of our community.”
said commissioner Erica Crawley
“We will continue to innovate and enhance
our services to provide the highest quality
of care and support, ensuring that our residents
not only survive but thrive.”
Additionally, the county’s IT leadership
received an award for improving the digital
experience for residents. Recognized in the
category of a million or more residents, the
county championed innovation by creating
a new content management system for 44
agencies to modernize the county’s website
so that services are easier for residents to
find.
The Franklin County programs, along
with other innovative county programs
from across the country, were celebrated at
NACo’s Annual Conference and Exposition
in Hillsborough County, Florida in July.
Suicide Prevention Plan
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced
the 2024-26 Suicide Prevention Plan for
the state, reinforcing a commitment to
eliminating obstacles for families and individuals
grappling with suicide.
The plan aims to promote life-saving
strategies statewide. The governor’s
RecoveryOhio initiative partnered with the
Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation to
spearhead the development of this comprehensive
document, incorporating input
from more than 30 private and public
organizations.
Key components of the plan include
raising public awareness, enhancing access
to timely data, expanding opportunities for
healthcare access, and providing support
for families coping with the loss of a loved
one to suicide. It underscores the importance
of collaborative efforts with behavioral
healthcare providers, employers,
healthcare systems, schools, and community
organizations to stem the increasing
rates of suicides.
According to the Ohio Department of
Health, there were 1,766 suicides in Ohio in
2021, an increase of 8 percent, from the previous
year. That number is below the 10-year
high in the state of 1,836 deaths in 2018. In
November, 2023, the Center for Disease
Control released a report that the United
States set a record for the number of suicide
deaths with nearly 50,000 people dying by
suicide in 2022. The national report indicated
that middle aged adults account for the
most suicides, while suicide numbers in preteens
and teens had decreased.
RecoveryOhio works to provide a full
continuum of care to all of Ohio.
RecoveryOhio’s goals include creating a
system to help those struggling with mental
illness, and offer direction for the state’s
prevention and education efforts.
The Ohio Suicide Prevention
Foundation is a non-profit organization
that educates, advocates, and builds connections
and support for individuals, families,
and communities to prevent suicide.
Township Police report
According to the Madison Township
Police, during July, officers responded to
342 dispatched calls and logged 15,865
patrol miles. MTPD officers impounded 20
vehicles and used 1,460 gallons of fuel. In
addition, 15 OVI arrests were made; four in
Blacklick Estates, one near the Marwick
Addition, two in unincorporated regions
south of U.S. Route 33, one in the unincorporated
region north of U.S. Route 33, two
near Edgewater Park, one in the city of
Groveport, one in the city of Canal
Winchester, and three outside the township
limits. To date, in 2024, Madison
Township officers have arrested 54
impaired drivers.
