PROGRAM#1 Chief Casey Curtis and Brian Hussey discussing the request for an off the road EM vehicle funding. Chief Curtis talked about his time on Granville Fire Department and the current staffing. There are 10 full time personnel, 20 intermittent, and 15 volunteers including three Denison students who stayed in the area this summer. We have 1900 runs per year. Chief Curtis turned the discussion over to Brian Hussey since he has done the research to determine the need and the type of off the road EM. Vehicle the department is in need of. Brian said there are many ares in the township and village that are not accessible for the larger vehicles they have. With no off the road vehicle they are required to borrow other equipment locally thru Facklers, a 6x6 from the Newark Fire Dept. or other Departments. This equipment is good but they are not as maneuverable or equipped as well as Honda Pioneer 700 vehicle we want to purchase. Some of the areas we serve that are not accessible to larger vehicles are the Bike Path, Denison Bio Reserve, Infirmary Mound Park, Denison Golf Course, Raccoon Creek, Bryn Du Mansion, Wildwood Park, Private Properties, 4 th of July Celebration and the Fireworks Show, and other areas where large number of people congregate, etc. In responding to these areas and smaller vehicles are not available they have to access the areas on foot, carrying any equipment and supplies. In the case of a medical emergency, they have to carry their equipment in and out along with the patient. This takes important time from the emergency to either get the patient to the Hospital or to a medical helicopter. Limited access of areas for example includes, the Infirmary MONDAY NEWS GRANVILLE 20152016 Club Officers: *Pres. – Dave Thomas, *Pres.

Monday  News    page  2  of  2    PROGRAM  cont.  Mound  with  7  miles  of  unpaved  trails  for  horses,  hiking  and  camping  areas.    Access  to  the  cross-­‐country  meets  at    the  Bryn  Du  Mansion  with  the  hills,    the  bike  path  is  narrow  and  access  is  limited,  etc.         The  Honda  Pioneer  700  vehicle  would  seat  4  people  and  the  two  rear  seats  could  be  folded  down  to  make  room  for  a  stretcher.    There  would  be  a  roof.    The  Honda  has  a  short  turning  radius  compared  to  the  6x6  they  have  borrowed  from  the  NFD.  This  would  not  be  a  vehicle  that  would  be  driven  on  the  highway,  but  would  be  used  on  secondary  streets  and  roads.  If  necessary  it  could  be  hauled  to  a  remote  site.  Questions?  

1. Has  Funding  been  requested  from  Rotary  or  the  Granville     Foundation?      No  we  are  coming  to  Kiwanis  only.      

2. What  is  the  cost?  To  buy  the  vehicle  &  the  needed     equipment  is  $15,000  +  a  seven  ft.  Stokes  Basket.  

3. Does  $15,000  cover  everything?  It  covers  the  vehicle  and     equipment.      

4. Will  the  vehicle  be  transported  to  the  site?        The  vehicle  can     travel  45  mph.    It  would  use  secondary  streets  and     back  roads.    It  could  be  hauled  to  the  site.  

5. Has  the  proposal  been  submitted  to  the  trustees?    Yes  but  not  for  funding.  

6. Is  there  room  at  the  fire  station  for  it?    Yes  7. Will  it  have  emergency  lights  on  it?    Yes  it  will  have  lights  

  and  sirens.    There  will  also  be  scene  lights  of  low     voltage  LED  lights.    An  example  of  the  importance     of  scene  lights  is;  I  was  called  out  late  at  night  to     search  for  a  person  on  a  2-­‐mile  stretch  of  the  bike     path  with  only  a  flash  light.    Scene  lights  would     have  been  helpful  to  search  the  sides  as  well  as  the     path.  

8. Will  the  seats  lay  flat?    Yes  they  can  be  laid  flat  to     accommodate  a  stretcher.    However  some  patients     may  need  to  be  in  a  seated  position  which  both     could  be  done.  

9. What  is  the  width?    It  is  comparable  to  a  Golf  Cart.  There     are  larger  Honda  vehicles  such  as  the  1,000  with     power  steering,  but  the  700  out  performs  the     bigger  vehicle.  

  If  the  club  provides  the  fire  department  the  funds  to  purchase  this  vehicle  it  would  be  indicated  on  the  vehicle  that  the  Granville  Kiwanis  Club  purchased  it.    And  on  and  on  it  goes  to  program  #2  last  but  not  the  least  and  it     is  just  as  important.    P R O G R A M   # 2   – Lesa  Miller  -­‐  Program  Director           for  the  Granville  Recreation  District.           The  Wildwood  Park  playground         is  23  years  old  and  needs    help,  care,  &         restoration  to  continue  serving  our         community.           Lesa  said  Jerry  went  to  a  meeting  in  the  90’s  and  came  home  and  said  they  would  be  building  a  playground.    Less  and  Jerry  were  in  charge  of    construction.  It  was  a  community  volunteer  effort.    The  funds  from  the  Pancake  Day,  which  was  held  in  the  basement  of  the  Baptist  Church  (now  the  United  Church  of  Granville),  were  donated  to  

the  playground  project.    There  was  a  large  turn  out  and  many  people  stood  in  line  to  get  inside  to  have  pancakes.    It  was  a  big  success.         For  their  work  and  dedication  to  the  building  of  the  playground  Lesa  and  Jerry  were  selected  to  be  the  Grand  Marshals  of  the  4th  of  July  Parade.     Now  the  facilities  are  showing  signs  of  deterioration  and  wear  and  need  to  be  brought  up  to  ADA  and  safety  code  standards.    In  the  original  design  to  satisfy  the  Reese  Foundation  there  were  to  be  no  brilliant  colors,  which  is  why  wood  and  stain  were  the  chosen  construction  products.      The  playground  was  made  of  treated  wood  and  the  life  of  the  facility  was  to  be  20yrs.    With  retreating  of  the  wood  on  a  biannual  schedule  it  has  lasted  longer  than  expected.    Kiwanis  has  been  an  important  part  in  the  care  and  maintenance  of  the  facility.  Many  materials  were  donated.  The  community  participated  in  the  physical  construction,  with  many  volunteer  hours  of  physical  labor.       GRD  (Granville  Recreation  District)  last  year  paid  for  an  inspection  of  the  facility  to  determine  what  needed  to  be  done  to  comply  with  the  safety  codes.    Some  safety  improvements  have  been  made,  such  as  replacing  some  handrails.    The  floorboards  are  showing  a  lot  of  wear  and  will  be  replaced  with  recycled  plastic  materials,  which  will  provide  more  wear  resistance.          Per  Leathers  and  Assoc.  who  was  the  designer  of  the  playground,  to  rebuild  in  compliance  with  the  safety  codes  it  will  cost  around  $225,000.  The  framing  will  not  be  replaced.  To  rebuild  a  totally  new  design  the  cost  would  be  around  $285,000.    The  original  cost  was  $100,000.     This  will  be  a  signature  project  for  the  GRD.  When  the  GRD  sets  the  budget  for  2017  the  items  that  need  immediate  attention  will  be  included.  To  do  more  it  will  be  necessary  to  have  a  community  fund  raising  effort  to  make  the  major  changes.    Once  again,  the  plan  is  to  rebuild  the  playground  as  a  community  effort  through  donated  labor  and  materials.      5 0 / 5 0   d r a w i n g   w i n n e r   –   Butch  Curtis  won  the  jackpot.    However,  he  does  not  get  a  free  Kiwanis  dinner  and  has  to  buy  a  new  deck  of  cards.          D i d   y o u   k n o w ?
