SHAGBARK Continued from page A1 Engineer Scott Sonnenberg, whom Shagbark residents had contacted, suggested a slight modification of the actual design of the proposed basin, along with ideas to make it more of a wetland to encourage a more dynamic natural habitat. “For what you can control, I think it’s worthwhile to proceed on this site,” he said. “I don’t think the basin as designed is beneficial to the city, watershed and creek, as a redesigned basin could be for cost ratio and environmental costs.” Council member Nancy Mc-
Ron and Shirley (Beem) Ishmael
Gregor said the basin would be only a partial fix, and leaders have to consider the cost of losing houses and condominiums downstream. “I don’t see the point in delaying bids at all on the hope Columbus will do something different,” she said. Franey said she would advertise the project and continue research. “We can move forward without risk,” she said. “We can cancel the bid or let it keep going.” Franey said she would return with a recommendation to council July 25.

ANNIVERSARY Continued from page A1 classmates and still are married. For Ishmael’s daughter, Tammie Schremser, the 50-year marriage is a point of pride. “I’m very proud of my parents for making it to 50 years and still being so totally head over heels in love with each other,” she said. “They started dating before they were 16 years old. Mom even went off to Ohio University to college, but they made it through it all and their love has endured.”
Ron Ishmael retired from Lucent Technologies, and Shirley retired from Gahanna-Jefferson schools as a bus driver for specialneeds students. The couple has three children and four grandchildren. Fred Bowers also retired from Lucent Technologies, and Connie retired from John R. Conte, DDS. They have two children and five grandchildren. A private family dinner will be held Saturday to celebrate the couples’ anniversaries.
TERMS Continued from page A1 commission’s knowledge about the city’s history and the time constraints it was under to make recommendations to council by June 30. If such a substantial change were going to be put before the voters, Bittner said, more extensive input from, and extensive discussion with, the community, should occur first. Another CRC recommendation to put before the voters in November is to change Section 3.04, Executive and Administrative Powers. Pursuant to this change, the mayor would be required to present an annual “State of the City Address” during the first quarter of every calendar year. Bittner said the purpose of the address would be to provide the public with an update directly from the mayor. Although the content of the actual address is not dictated in the charter, it likely would include a discussion regarding the prior year, the current state of the city and any strategic initiatives and goals, from the mayor’s perspective. The address wouldn’t be part of a regular council meeting and would be presented at a time and place determined by the mayor, with notification to the public. The commission also proposed to change the role of the Civil Service Commission to make it more of an appellate body to hear appeals from the classified service of the city, Bittner said. The commission also has recommended minor word changes for consistency and clarification purposes to Sections 3.07, 4.08
and 4.14. The deadline to file the proposed city charter changes with the Franklin County Board of Elections is Aug. 10. Members of the Charter Review Commission were recognized July 5 for their volunteer work. They are Bittner; Alvin McKenna, vice chairman; Bobbie Burba, Christopher Franzmann, Dewitt Harrell, Margaret Trim and Dan Willis.

Have You Heard?

Please join us at one of our FREE OPEN HOUSES, where students and parents can observe and participate in classes and demonstrations.
AN INSTRUMENT AS RUGGED AS YOU! The latest generation of hearing instrument users is not content to merely limit their use of their cutting-edge devices to social occasions and work environments. They also want to wear their hearing devices when walking, running, bicycling, playing tennis, hiking in the woods, and kayaking. After all, active people don’t want to limit their experiences by not being able to hear the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds. With this in mind, hearing instrument manufacturers are producing devices that utilize nanotech-based coatings that prevent moisture from seeping into water-sensitive circuitry. Along with a cover that protects the microphone from moisture and an easily replaceable wax protection system, these instruments also deliver the latest in automated functionality.
