$3.7 million in cuts coming after school levy’s failure By JENNIFER NESBITT ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The $3.7 million in budget cuts approved by the Canal Winchester school board last month will stand following the defeat of an emergency levy May 3. Voters in the Canal Winchester Local School District rejected a three-year, 14.78-mill re-
newal levy that would have raised an estimated $6.4 million per year for the district. The levy failed by 50 votes, according to unofficial results, with 1,784 voters (50.71 percent) casting ballots against the levy and 1,734 (49.29 percent) casting ballots in favor of it. School board president Debra Waites called the outcome “disappointing,” but she expressed her gratitude to those who voted for the levy.
“I am very, very appreciative of the ones who showed their support,” Waites said. “We are very appreciative of the ones who support the district.” The district has already approved a $3.7 million reduction in costs in reaction to state funding cuts. The cuts include the elimination of 49 See CUTS COMING, page A3
Zoning change allows dog, cat groomers By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Contributor Canal Winchester’s finance committee on May 2 approved changes to the city zoning code to allow doggrooming businesses to open as a conditional use. Zoning officer Andrew Dutton said the new code would create an additional zoning definition for “animal grooming or training” applicable to grooming such domesticated animals
as dogs and cats. Farm animals are explicitly excluded from the definition. “Planning and zoning had a matter come before them last February, when someone was attempting to set up an animal-grooming facility, and we did not have anything in the code that was appropriate,” finance director Nanisa Osborn said. “Planning and zoning asked Andrew to set out something separate in the code.” Kennels may not be within 200 feet of most residential uses, whereas
grooming facilities may be within a residential area if they do not have any outside facilities for the animals. “If it’s all inside, it can be as close as they want,” Dutton said. He said the commission would have to approve any grooming business. “It’s a conditional use in general commercial that still has to go through planning and zoning,” he said. In the language approved May 2, Dutton borrowed existing language applicable to commercial kennels but
changed the zoning designations in which such uses are permissible. “This ordinance separates commercial kennels from animal grooming and training facilities,” Dutton said. “It looks like a lot (of text), but the first part just adds a definition and the rest of it is not changed at all. If you have anything outside, it has to be 200 feet away from a residence.” Osborn said the primary distinction
Canal Winchester’s legislative body held its first meeting as a city council May 2. The village became a city following the Secretary of State’s certification of the 2010 Census results. Council president Marilyn Rush-Ekelberry called for a report of the village solicitor from law director Gene Hollins, but Hollins declined. “There will be no report from the village solicitor,” Hollins said, “because A closer look at this point, I don’t believe there is a vil- Finance director Nanisa lage solicitor.

Finance director Nanisa Osborn said Ohio law provides that cities are subject to civil-service requirements, including mandatory testing and other steps related to filling employee positions. Villages are given more leniency to have mayors and managers hire employees without formal civil-service requirements. “The charter required that when we became a city that a personnel board of review be established,” Osborn said. “Cities are subject to civil-service rules. The personnel board of review will administer the civil-service rules.” Under civil-service rules, employees who act more or less as managers are considered “unclassified,” whereas all other employees are considered classified. Classified employee positions may be filled only following testing and various rules set forth in city employment policy, and appeals from city decisions are made to the personnel board of review. When the board is established following the third reading, it will consist of three appointees and the mayor, but the mayor will not have a vote on board decisions. Civil service is unrelated to collective bargaining. Canal Winchester has 32 full-time em-

Officials hold first workshop on downtown By BRITANY BYERS ThisWeek Community Newspapers The first of three Canal Winchester public workshops attracted 10 community members on April 26. The aim of the workshop was for residents to learn about the current downtown zoning codes and preservation area guidelines, and to allow them to comment and make suggestions to revise them.
Representing Canal Winchester at the meeting were Chris Strayer, development director; Andrew Dutton, zoning officer; and Joe Abbott, Planning and Zoning Commission member. Strayer was happy with the first meeting’s turnout. “We tried to do this before and no one showed up,” Strayer said. “So getting 10 people here is definitely a start, but we want to make sure we get more here for the next meetings.”
DIRECTORY
Strayer is looking to have the correct guidelines in place to preserve the downtown area in the future when redevelopments or new developments occur. “The only way we know we can do that (is) if we’re reaching out to the residents and their vision of what the downtown should be. We want to put that on paper so that at the end of the day it gets there,” Strayer said. “It’s everybody’s downtown. You don’t have to live down here just to ap-
preciate the downtown,” he said. Main Street Canal Winchester executive director Bruce Jarvis said he attended because he has a deep interest in the meeting topics. He said the first meeting was a good start. “Coming up with custom tailored zoning specifically made for this district is appropriate time well spent,” Jarvis said. The underlying zoning district of the downtown area is classified as general

commercial. Permitted in the general commercial district are retail stores, business/professional offices and personal/consumer services. “In the zoning code under retail, professional and personal/consumer, there’s a big list of what that is,” Strayer said, explaining that food, general merchandise, apparel, electronics and a number of other businesses are included under See OFFICIALS, page A2

Council also heard the first reading of an ordinance that would modify the employee handbook, amending policies for sick leave, use of city vehicles and use of social media. Under the new handbook, employees may donate sick time to other employees who have suffered catastrophic illness and used up all available sick time. City employees are not paid for sick time, except that retiring employees with 10 years of service may be paid 50 percent of accumulated sick time up to 480 hours. “Employees have the ability to donate sick leave to an employee who may have used up all that they have available in the event of a catastrophic injury or illness,” Osborn said. Council also approved an appropriation of $300,000 to allow Osborn to make a voluntary additional debt payment on $2 million in outstanding notes. “We originally borrowed $2 million to do road work,” she said. “Normally, we would have taken the notes to long-term debt, but we chose not to do that because of the interest rates. We decided to pay that down and issue $1.7 million in debt. We sold that at 1.625 percent. We could have reissued $2 million, but I don’t like to do that without paying down some of the principal. That’s a good business practice. I believe if you don’t pay down your debt, you’re not conscious of your debt. I think it’s important to pay down. And honestly, we can’t invest the money right now and get much (interest income).”

each section. Prohibited businesses in the downtown area include recreational, drive-up window services, vets and animal hospitals, automobile service stations, hotels and motels, commercial kennels, automobile car washes and automobile parking. “Is this list acceptable or should it be changed? Are there uses that should be in there? Are there uses that should be on the prohibited list?” Strayer asked the workshop participants. Three items in question were liquor stores, pawn shops and dog grooming facilities, and whether they should continue to be permitted in the downtown area. According to the current code, dog grooming facilities are still considered commercial kennels and therefore prohibited downtown. Village council member Leah Turner is against permitting a dog grooming facility downtown. “I don’t want to see the dog thing go in anywhere around either downtown, my neighborhood or out in Gender Road,”

Turner said. Also discussed were possible provisions to prohibit half-way houses, rehabilitation centers and funeral homes. The second half of Tuesday’s discussion was focused on the development standards of the downtown district. The zoning codes—lot coverage, side/rear setbacks, front setbacks, parking and height requirements—of Granville, Worthington, Westerville and Delaware were shown to compare to Canal Winchester’s current standards. “Downtown they’ve done some development over the years where they set the building back away from the road and it sort of ruins the streetscape,” Jarvis said. Strayer suggested replacing the front setbacks with a build-to line,
which would regulate the distance between the street and where a building begins. The build-to line would take the average front setbacks of the adjacent properties or the average of an entire block, to determine where the building would have to start. “It’s used in a lot of downtowns to prevent from people setting back and then breaking up that fabric of the streetscape,” Strayer said. Provisions of the current building height requirements were also talked about Tuesday. Kim Stedman, a Canal Winchester resident, had concerns about the height requirements in the downtown area. As it is now, buildings can be three stories or 40 feet tall. “We’ve got a few three-story buildings here in town but I think we need to keep them at two stories for privacy of the neighbors and just for the aesthetics of the town,” Stedman said. Suggestions were made to mimic Granville’s height requirements, which call for a building’s height to be within 10 percent of the adjacent buildings. “I think in our case, 10 percent would be a good fit because of the

In other business, Osborn told the finance committee that Nancy Stir, a retired state employee, would start as part-time humanresources coordinator for the village. Stir will be paid $18 hourly, as needed. Council president Marilyn Rush-Ekelberry said times have changed in Canal Winchester, as its status has changed from village to city (See related story). “My mother raised chickens, and we had eggs and everything,” Rush-Ekelberry said. “That was not uncommon back then.” Mayor Mike Ebert teased: “That was back when there was, what, 50 people?” “It’s been a few years,” RushEkelberry said. Osborn also informed the finance committee that she would prepare an ordinance to increase water rates for a special water district served by the city of Pickerington. Osborn said Pickerington had raised its rates earlier this year from $5.33 per thousand gallons to $6.03. The city currently charges $5.65 per thousand gallons based upon the $5.33 charge from Pickerington. Osborn said the city had not determined whether it would carry the current 32-cent additional charge to the new price. She said no residential customers would be affected by the change. “We have not sorted out what we will do with this,” she said. “By the next meeting, we will have something for them to consider.”

existing buildings,” Abbott said, which would keep a new building from being much taller than neighboring buildings. The discussed provision would require a building’s height to be within 10 percent of the immediate adjacent buildings, as well as having a maximum height cap to prevent structures from getting too tall.

Cuts coming for Canal Winchester schools Continued from page A1 jobs, 27 of them teaching positions. The school board also approved increasing pay-to-participate fees from the current $140 to $300 per activity for the 2011-12 school year, $450 for 2012-13 and $600 for 2013-14. In addition, the district warned that without the levy, bus routes would be reduced and the district no longer would cover costs for more than 50 supplemental positions, including department heads and yearbook, newspaper and high school class advisers. The board will have to look to make deeper cuts, as the district’s financial forecast shows a more than $6 million gap for the 2012-13 school year. Waites said those cuts likely would equate to losing 80 to 90 more employees. “When you’re a district and you have teachers and staff, that’s you’re biggest place (to cut). We’ve pretty much cut everything else,” she
said. Even if the levy had passed, the district’s financial reports showed a $760,000 deficit for the next school year, prompting the school board to approve the elimination of 18 full-time positions April 18. The district said teachers would be laid off in order of seniority, with the least experienced employees being laid off first. Waites said the school board would begin discussing whether to put another levy on the ballot in November. A special election in August is out of the question, she said. “We will not do a special election in August. We do not have the finances for it,” she said. The levy would have cost homeowners $469 per $100,000 of assessed property valuation. The levy would not have raised taxes, as it would have replaced the two-year, $6.4-million emergency levy approved in May 2009. jnesbitt@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

As it were
The city itself is the single monument to Joel Wright He is one of the more elusive men in the story of Columbus. Joel Wright is also one of the more important ones. Because of Wright, the whole downtown of Columbus is where it is, is named as it is and is laid out on lines that are still followed today. Yet there is no picture, no portrait, no sketch of this remarkable man. Wright was a member of the Society of Friends, called Quakers, and most of these people shunned pictures as a waste of time and effort. Because of the memories of his friends and acquaintances, we know a little bit about him. He was tall and strong and generally quite fit. He wore the long plain coat of the Quakers, with its large pockets with flaps folded over. He sported knee-length stockings and plain leather shoes. Both the buckles at his knees and on his shoes were made of silver and were a modest display of the success he had made of himself in Ohio. Born in 1750, Wright had missed most of the American Revolution and became known as a man who provided his own passage. Wright was a surveyor and by definition one of the few literate and well-read men in an often illiterate frontier society. In the years after the American Revolution, he spent most of his time surveying the upper reaches of the Scioto, Muskingum and Miami rivers. He also was a town planner and helped lay out Dayton, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky, among other places. After the death of his wife, Wright decided to follow his grown children into the Ohio country and eventually came to call the area around Waynesville his home. In spring 1812, he was called from southwest Ohio to do once more what he did best, only this time with even more attention to detail. Ohio in 1812 was a state in search of itself. Established in 1803, Ohio was the first state carved out of the Northwest Territory that had become a section of British America in 1763 and part of the newly established United States in 1783. A nation mired in debt and with little income used this vast expanse of land to pay its soldiers’ past-due wages. It sold the remaining land to anyone who wanted to buy.
Weekly newspaper. Daily updates.
Because Ohio was closer to the East, it became the site of immense land grants to people from ED north and LENTZ south, as well as people burned out by the British and even a colony of expatriate French settlers. The land immediately across the Scioto from frontier Franklinton was called the “High Banks opposite Franklinton at the Forks of the Scioto known as Wolf’s Ridge.” Most of the land, from Fifth Avenue on the north to Refugee Road on the south, was set aside for residents of Nova Scotia who had lost property because they had favored the American cause. Desperate for support, many of these people sold their land warrants to speculators and never came to Ohio. Some of the few who did settled near Broad Street and named their home after the place they left: Truro Township in Nova Scotia. By 1812, much of the land on that high ridge opposite Franklinton still was empty. As such it became a place to examine as Ohio began looking for a new state capital. The first capital was at Chillicothe, a town along the Scioto River. Unlike the river towns of Marietta and Cincinnati, Chillicothe was a small frontier village and representative of the common people who were settling the new land. It also was directly below Adena, the hilltop estate of Ohio founder Thomas Worthington. Responding to requests for a more northern location, the capital city had been located briefly in Zanesville before being moved back to Chillicothe. In February
1812, after looking at many sites, the Ohio General Assembly chose the High Banks opposite Franklinton as its new home. Joel Wright came from southwest Ohio to carve that new capital city from the wilderness. Working with local surveyor Joseph Vance, Wright laid out the town of Columbus in April 1812. He picked the site of Statehouse Square and a 10-acre site for a penitentiary, as well, where the Cultural Arts Center is today. He later filed a report with the general assembly, listing all of his expenses, including the $2.43 for his journey to central Ohio. Wright’s expenses included the cost of paper and other supplies and his room and board. All of his expenses, including his trip home, came to $17.62. It is probably fair to say in retrospect that Ohio got its money’s worth. By June 1812, the first sale of lots occurred. James Kilbourne of Worthington paid $1,000 for a corner lot at Broad and High, and other nearby lots went for several hundred dollars each. Sales abruptly slowed when it was later learned that America had gone to war with Britain on the same day, June 18, that the sale had been held. Wright returned to Columbus in 1813 to oversee the construction of the penitentiary. When it was under way, he resigned his position as “director of Columbus.” He went home and lived in the Quaker community of Springboro until his death in 1829. There is no statue of Joel Wright in Columbus, and Wright would have been appalled if one had been erected. The capital city was his monument and a source of pride to him.

May is Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month
Free Skin Cancer Screenings during the month of May. Skin cancer will affect 1 in 5 Americans in their lifetime and one person dies of melanoma — the deadliest form of skin cancer — every hour.

As part of this initiative OSCI will provide free skin screenings during the month of May. The Ohio Skin Cancer Institute was founded by Larisa Ravitskiy, MD, to provide you with the highest level of individualized skin cancer care. OSCI uses the most sophisticated resources and cutting edge techniques in a warm and comfortable surrounding. Dr. Ravitskiy is a board-certified dermatologist and a fellowship-trained Mohs and reconstructive surgeon, specializing in the diagnosis and management of skin cancers.

Canal Winchester Roundup
Baseball team eyes deep run in tournament By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Canal Winchester High School baseball coach Jay Bartos was pleased with the progress his team made defensively last week while winning four of five games and going 3-0 in MSL-Buckeye Division contests. Bartos is optimistic that the Indians will continue to progress and play their best baseball in the Division II district tournament. Canal Winchester opens the tournament by playing host to Linden-McKinley on Tuesday, May 10. The winner plays May 12 at Columbus East or sixth-seeded Watterson. After losing in the state final in 2008 and reaching a state semifinal in 2009, the Indians lost to Hartley 6-5 in a dis-
trict semifinal last year. “I definitely think we’re getting ready to peak, but we still have a lot of room to improve and we still haven’t come close to what we’re capable of doing,” Bartos said. “If we can execute to the best of our abilities in the tournament, we have the potential to go a long way.” The Indians have developed a pair of aces in Trey Kiser and Nick Zaluski. Through 19 games, Kiser was 4-1 with a 3.38 ERA, 14 strikeouts and 10 walks in 29 innings, and Zaluski was 5-0 with a 3.46 ERA, 26 strikeouts and 28 walks in 30 1/3 innings. But the Indians have struggled defensively, committing errors that have led to several unearned runs for their opponents. Bartos said the key to a long tourna-

ment run will be playing good defense. “We need good pitching and good defense in the tournament,” Bartos said. “Our pitching has been pretty good, but we need to keep playing defense the way we did last week. We have to watch out for making errors in the first
two innings, because that’s where we’ve struggled the most. You’re playing with fire when you make errors in the tournament.” Bartos would like his team to continue to be aggressive at the plate in the postseason.
Through 19 games, the Indians were batting .350 with Tim Hawkins (.500, 12 runs), Kiser (.492, 1 homer, 4 doubles, 14 RBI, 21 runs), Zaluski (.414, 7 RBI), Chaz Palmer (.377, 14 RBI, See INDIANS, page A6
Commentary
New Albany’s Cordell takes aim at state record in 800 For an athlete who didn’t like running when she started competitively at age 9, Taneisha Cordell has developed into an elite competitor. The New Albany High School senior, who will run track at the University of Miami (Fla.) beginning next year, has the fastest area time to this point in the season in both the 400 meters and her specialty, the 800. She had the fourth-fastest time in the country in the 800 in the winter indoor season and, after finishing fourth in the Division I state meet as a freshman, she won the 800 as a sophomore at Reynoldsburg before transfer-
ring to New Albany. Cordell also won the 800 at the USA Track & Field national meet last summer in SacramenLARRY to, Calif. LARSON Talk about credentials. “My mom got me into running when I was in elementary school and I really wasn’t very good and I was a basketball girl so I wasn’t even really interested,” Cordell said. “Through lots of hard work and dedication and
lots of support from my teammates, my family and my coaches, Denny Hammond at Reynoldsburg and Otis Winston here at New Albany, I have been fortunate to be successful. Like lots of athletes, I owe so much to so many people and right now I owe so much to coach Winston. He has definitely been a major factor in my life and we have a great relationship.” Even though Cordell has been sensational this spring in the 400, her specialty still is the 800. She loves the challenge of that event. “The 800 isn’t too short and it isn’t too long,” Cordell said.
“I look at that race as a measuring stick for toughness. Anyone can sprint, but in the 800 it becomes which runner is the gutsiest in the last part of the race and who can finish at the fastest pace. “Like most young runners, I started as a sprinter at Reynoldsburg Junior High, but at the end of my seventh-grade year I began running the 800 and have never stopped. When I finished fourth in the state as a freshman it boosted my confidence, and winning the event the next year was the most exciting sports moment of my life because I was part of a state championship team at
Reynoldsburg and it was the end of an amazing season. “Last year was a major disappointment at the state championship meet. I had illnesses with a sinus infection last spring and my confidence was down when I ran in the 800 final. Then I fell with about 150 yards left in the race and didn’t finish, which makes me more determined than ever to get my title back this year. I think about it all the time.” Cordell not only wants to win the 800 state title, she wants to do it in convincing fashion. “Not only do I want to get my 800 title back, I want to do it by
demolishing the state record,” she said. “I want to get to 2:08 or better and that pushes me all the time in practice, and what will probably determine my success will be my mental attitude. When I go into big races, I tell myself that I can achieve my best, and when I won in California at the nationals last summer, it felt amazing and I strive to achieve that feeling again. “I have grown to really love track. I love the freedom you get when you are out on the track. It is so much about you and how you have trained and See LARSON, page A6

Top stories Spring Football: In this installment of the Friday Night Live: Spring Edition, we’ll look at what Northland is doing to build on its breakthrough season last fall. Will the City League-North Division be another tight battle among Beechcroft, Brookhaven and Northland? Or will one of the other teams step forward? Admirable Assistant: ThisWeek’s Jarrod Ulrey profiles Ian Burkhart, who serves as a volunteer goalkeeper and defense coach for the Dublin Jerome boys lacrosse team. On June 13, 2010, the 2009 Jerome graduate was left paralyzed after an accident at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Next stop, South Beach: Larry Larson, Mr. High School Sports, profiles New Albany senior Taneisha Cordell, who currently holds the area’s fastest time in the 400 meters and 800 and will run track at the University of Miami (Fla.) next season.

Nick Zaluski has come out of nowhere to become a really reliable performer, too.” •The softball team went 5-1 last week. Senior first baseman Andrea Peer said her team has played much better defense since Mariah Rock moved from second base to right field and Kaleigh Whitlatch moved from right field to second base. “We’re finally meshing as a team both offensively and defensively,” Peer said. “Our defense was our biggest problem during the first half of the season, but our errors have been minimal lately and we’re holding teams to fewer runs. Kaleigh’s been good at second base and Mariah has tracked down balls in the outfield that we didn’t think she even had a shot at catching.” After losing to Circleville 97 on April 8, to Teays Valley 64 on April 13 and to Fairfield Union 7-4 on April 14 in MSLBuckeye games, the Indians bounced back to defeat Fairfield Union 10-6 on April 27, Circleville 8-3 on April 28 and Teays Valley 5-1 on April 29 in the rematches.

cleville and a three-hitter against Teays Valley. “It was good to come back and show those three teams who we really are the second time around,” Peer said. “Lauren’s been pitching really well lately.” The Indians also produced some timely hitting while beating two Division I teams on April 30. Canal Winchester rallied from a two-run deficit to defeat Hilliard Davidson 4-2 and scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to beat Watterson 63 later in the afternoon. With the Indians trailing Watterson 3-2, Morgan White drove in three runs with a triple and later scored on a double by Peer. Peer said the Indians are confident they can make a run in the Division II district tournament if they continue playing the way they did last week.
