Hilltop 5K to<br />
benefit veterans<br />
By Christine Bryant<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The Columbus <strong>Westside</strong> Running Club<br />
will host a 5K this summer - an event that<br />
will benefit Hilltop veterans while providing<br />
an opportunity for exercise and community<br />
togetherness.<br />
The Hilltop U.S.A. 5K run/walk will<br />
take place July 7, and registration is currently<br />
under way. Participants also will<br />
have the opportunity to increase the challenge<br />
and choose a heavy ruck run option<br />
where runners and walkers must carry a<br />
35-pound rucksack or backpack.<br />
The ruck run option will earn the top<br />
three male and female finishers special<br />
prizes.<br />
Tracy Schakett, who oversees membership<br />
for the Columbus <strong>Westside</strong> Running<br />
Club, says the 5K will be the first race on<br />
Columbus’ newest trail and park, Camp<br />
Chase Trail and Wilson Road Park. The<br />
event also will feature an expo space that<br />
will allow local businesses and services to<br />
showcase their goods prior to the race<br />
start.<br />
All of the proceeds, plus $1 from each<br />
race entry, will benefit Hilltop veterans,<br />
with funds split evenly between VFW Post<br />
4044 and the American Legion Post 532.<br />
The Columbus <strong>Westside</strong> Running Club<br />
held its first group run in January 2016.<br />
“Since this time, the group has grown<br />
dramatically,” Schakett said.<br />
In addition to electing a board, the<br />
group has established itself as a non-profit,<br />
secured United Way Neighborhood<br />
Partnership grants two years in a row, and<br />

Sidewalk program<br />
approved in Prairie<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
At a recent meeting, the Prairie<br />
Township trustees approved the 15th<br />
annual sidewalk program.<br />
“This program uses an outside company<br />
to repair sidewalks in the township,” said<br />
Tracy Hatmaker, township administrator.<br />
“Property owners can make a 10-year,<br />
interest-free payment as part of their property<br />
taxes to pay off the repairs.”<br />
Hatmaker said that the township added<br />
a component to the program this year<br />
where the township inspects sidewalks<br />

The group also has taken a role in<br />
improving the westside, hosting trash<br />
cleanups along Camp Chase Trail.<br />
“This is performed the fourth Saturday<br />
of the month and since inception, 622.5 volunteer<br />
hours have been logged,” Schakett<br />
said. “We have removed 423 bags of trash<br />
and 26 tires, and 14 carts have been collected.”<br />

and has the residents repair sidewalks<br />
deemed dangerous.<br />
“All parts of the township are included<br />
in this program and if residents want to<br />
report a sidewalk they can call the road<br />
department and they will inspect it,” said<br />
Stephen Kennedy, township trustee.<br />
Hatmaker said that the township has<br />
been focused on asking for mandatory<br />
improvements on the oldest sidewalks in<br />
the township first, but added if they<br />
receive a complaint, they will review the<br />
sidewalk to see if improvements need to be<br />
made.<br />
“There are rules and guidelines for what<br />
needs to be repaired,” Kennedy added.<br />
“Just because a neighbor complains,<br />
doesn’t mean the sidewalk has to be<br />
repaired. It just will be inspected sooner<br />
than it would have been.”<br />
This year the township has allocated<br />
$100,000 for the program and plans to<br />
begin repairing sidewalks this summer.<br />
The board also approved several payments<br />
to enhance security of township<br />
assets, including the township hall and the<br />
new Galloway Road Sports Complex.<br />
The board approved spending over<br />
$14,200 to upgrade the township hall security<br />
and fire alarm system.<br />

and key pads with fobs for the township<br />
hall, so we can more properly monitor who<br />
is accessing the building,” Hatmaker said.<br />
“Our fire system also is not up to code and<br />
needs to be upgraded.”<br />
Hatmaker said these changes will also<br />
allow Grove City dispatchers to monitor<br />
the building should any issues arise, something<br />
they currently cannot do.<br />
Additionally, the board approved spending<br />
approximately $23,173 on splicing the<br />
township’s fiber optic network to allow Wi-<br />
Fi at the Galloway Road Sports Complex.<br />
“This Wi-Fi access will allow us to have<br />
cameras and phone service at the concession<br />
stand,” said James Gant, director of<br />
the community center. “Previously we were<br />
told we could have Wi-Fi out there and<br />
then found out we needed to do this in<br />
order to have it.”<br />
Gant also gave an update on when the<br />
complex would open.<br />
“Realistically it will open next spring,”<br />
he said. “We were hoping for this fall, but<br />
because we had a wet spring we haven’t<br />
been able to get heavy equipment on the<br />
field for grading. Once the grading is complete,<br />
the seeding will be done, and it takes<br />
year for the grass to grow.”<br />
Officials are hoping the facility can be<br />
used regularly by summer or fall of 2019.

The <strong>2018</strong> Westgate Home and Garden Tour is<br />
<strong>June</strong> 9.<br />
The tour, in its eighth year, embodies the spirit of<br />
the Westgate Neighbors Association and the growing<br />
focus on building a more connected community by<br />
supporting resident-inspired initiatives like the<br />
Westgate Farmers Market, Friends of Westgate<br />
Park, Westgate Food Trucks Line Up, the Columbus<br />
<strong>Westside</strong> Running Club, and Westgate Brews.<br />
“This is the day we invite all of central Ohio to<br />
visit our ‘it’s no secret anymore’ west Columbus<br />
neighborhood. The up-close and personal tour is<br />
timely for inquiring Columbus-residents, as many<br />
new residents are discovering our character-rich,<br />
affordable housing stock. They will immediately see<br />
why we call Westgate unexpected,” said tour co-chair<br />
Becca Rohner.<br />
Rohner said this is not your average home and<br />
garden tour.<br />
“Be prepared to marvel at the creativity of our<br />
homeowners and pick up affordable, relatable decorating<br />
ideas for your abode,” she said.<br />
The <strong>2018</strong> tour will reveal some of Westgate’s<br />
unexpected appeal, including a 1928 Colonial<br />
Revival home that has been lovingly restored; backyard<br />
retreats with multiple water features, a garden<br />
with antique roses —some dating back to the 1500s,<br />
and even a putting green.<br />
Balancing modern technology with architectural<br />
integrity is another example of what makes homes in<br />
Westgate so unique and desirable. But there is still<br />
no shortage of fireplaces, original built in cabinetry,<br />
porch swings, and hardwood floors you’d expect to<br />
find a neighborhood where homes were built to last.<br />
A portion of the proceeds from the tour fund the<br />
Westgate Neighborhood Scholarship. The scholarship,<br />
now in its fourth year, was established as an<br />
extension of the group’s mission to help Westgate<br />
thrive as it recognizes students who demonstrate<br />
strong leadership skills and a commitment to community<br />
service.<br />
This year’s tours includes ten stops. It runs on<br />
Saturday, <strong>June</strong> 9, from 2 to 6 p.m. Registration is at<br />
The Westgate Lodge, 2925 West Broad Street.<br />
Advance tickets are $12 and available online at<br />
www.westgateneighbors.org and at the following<br />
locations: Haldeman Cleaners (3115 West Broad<br />
Street), Gypsy Soul Antiques (11 N. Westmoor). On<br />
the day of the tour, tickets are $15 and can be purchased<br />
at the registration tent.<br />

The city of Columbus, looking to the<br />
future and how to plan for growth, has<br />
developed some planning policies that were<br />
shared at the latest meeting of the<br />
Westland Area Commission.<br />
Commission zoning chair Mike McKay<br />
distributed information about Columbus<br />
Citywide Planning Policies at the May<br />
meeting that can be used as a guide for the<br />
next generation of development. Part of<br />
this project, known as C2P2, will be updating<br />
each area’s land use plan. An area plan<br />
is a document that tells how an area will be<br />
developed. Such a plan for the Westland<br />
Area hasn’t been updated in many years.<br />
This project will allow every area of the<br />
city the opportunity to have consistent, upto-date<br />
policies and design guidelines.<br />
The focus group Insight2050 anticipates<br />
central Ohio will have as many as one million<br />
more residents by 2050 with Columbus<br />
seeing the biggest share. This plan, according<br />
to the city, has been designed to guide<br />

Franklin Township first responders were recognized for helping<br />
a fellow officer.<br />
Township police officers responded to a call for backup on May<br />
12 when Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies came upon gunfire<br />
after attempting a traffic stop and the suspect fled.<br />
“When our guys came on the scene, they didn’t know a gunfight<br />
was going on,” said Franklin Township Police Chief Byron Smith.<br />
“They did an excellent job.”<br />
The trustees approved a resolution recognizing the officers for<br />
their valor. The board also recognized the township’s medics who<br />
rushed one Franklin County deputy to the<br />
hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.<br />
The suspect was killed by police on the<br />
scene.<br />
“I commend all of you for your leadership<br />
and management of your department,”<br />
said Aryeh Alex, township trustee. “You<br />
don’t come to work expecting to do this, but<br />
everyone stepped up and did an incredible<br />
job.”<br />
The police and fire department also gave<br />
and focus growth in a way that will support<br />
economic competitiveness, improve resident’s<br />
quality of life, and provide environmental<br />
benefits throughout the city.<br />
The first step is to educate the community<br />
about the project and get each area to<br />
go along with it. Currently the city has<br />
more than 40 neighborhood and area plans<br />
that cover more than 90 percent of the city.<br />
Under this project, the area plans or<br />
land use plans will be updated beginning in<br />
2020. This is a project the city expects will<br />
take five years. The Westland Area covers<br />
both the city and the township.<br />
Also at the meeting, public health and<br />
safety chair Nancy Day-Achauer asked for<br />
volunteers to help out at the produce giveaways<br />
in the area. She said volunteers are<br />

Fire officials announced a new program to donate cribs to residents<br />
in need.<br />
“We have an increase in SIDS (Sudden Infant Death<br />
Syndrome) in this community and people are not putting their<br />
kids in cribs,” said Chas Adams, assistant fire chief for Franklin<br />
Township. “Due to the income level in this region, people cannot<br />
afford cribs and kids aren’t safe.”<br />
Township medics plan to pass out cribs as they respond to<br />
emergency calls and see that homes don’t have them. Adams said<br />
the crib give-away is at no cost to the township.<br />
The police department is also considering adding traffic cameras<br />
to high traffic areas in the township. Among these locations<br />
could be Frank Road.<br />
“We are still in the exploratory phases, but the biggest complaints<br />
we get are traffic and drugs,” Smith said. “We are trying to<br />
address both by looking at high traffic areas that have the most<br />
accidents. Nothing as been decided yet, we are still talking with<br />
our attorney and seeing if this is something we want to do. We also<br />

Residents ask for more police protection in Prairie<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Residents are hoping for more protection from the<br />
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. At a recent Prairie<br />
Township trustee meeting, residents asked for bike patrol<br />
this summer throughout the township.<br />
According to the sheriff’s department, while they are<br />
hoping to have a bike patrol this summer, they first need<br />
more officers to sign up. Officials say two officers must ride<br />
together at a time to patrol the region via bike. Currently,<br />
the sheriff’s office is trying to secure more officers for the<br />
bike patrol before they can start this program.<br />
However, residents did get some good news in the form<br />
of reducing speeding in the region. The trustees approved<br />
replacing a speed trailer that was struck last summer with<br />
a new one. Costing approximately $8,850, the township<br />
would only be responsible for $1,000 of the replacement<br />
cost.<br />
In other news, the board discussed equipment improvements<br />
to the community center. Prairie Township<br />
Community Center Director James Gant asked the board<br />
to approve a new Upper Cycle and a Zero Runner for<br />
approximately $14,000<br />
“The Zero Runner received positive feedback from the<br />
community center members who have used it,” Gant said.<br />
“The Upper Cycle will help with the physical therapy<br />
Doctor’s Hospital is performing at the center.”<br />
Gant also asked the trustees to approve an athletic field<br />
policy in preparation for the opening of the Galloway Road<br />
Sports Complex. The new complex will have a variety of<br />
multi-use baseball and soccer fields open to the public.<br />
“As this park sets to open in a year or so, we thought it<br />
made sense to have a policy in place,” Gant said. “We plan<br />
to have several partnerships and feel we need to create a<br />
field usage policy, as well as fees for improper use.”<br />
Trustee Stephen Kennedy said that the policy would be<br />
similar to other rules neighboring community have.<br />
“Our policy is geared after a couple other policies<br />
around town,” he said.<br />
Officials plan to release the full policy on the township’s<br />
website in the near future.<br />
The trustees also approved spending $20,000 on<br />
a grant for home improvements as part of the<br />
Rebuilding Together project. The township, along with<br />
AEP and Franklin County, each will contribute $20,000 to<br />
the project.<br />
Focusing on home repairs to 15 to 20 properties in the<br />
Little Farms neighborhood, the national group will be<br />
doing repairs to low to moderate income seniors to make<br />
their home safer. Some of the improvements will include<br />
roof repairs, HVAC, floor repairs and removing tripping<br />
hazards.<br />
The non-profit will be covering the majority of the<br />
expenses of the project.<br />
The township plans to contribute an additional $30,000<br />
to the project to help with exterior home improvements,<br />
including repaving driveways, repainting, landscaping and<br />
other cosmetic improvements that can add value to the<br />
home.<br />
Officials hope this will be the first of many projects with<br />
the group and hope organizers will consider improvements<br />
the Lincoln Village neighborhood next.<br />

Suicide prevention discussed in school district<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
For years, <strong>June</strong> Brown stood on one side<br />
of an imaginary doorway, unaware of the<br />
signs of depression and suicide that can<br />
exist in the young mind. Then one day, she<br />
was hurtled through the opening when her<br />
then 10-year-old son tried to take his life.<br />
She likened the aftermath of being in a<br />
vortex filled with anger, grief, disbelief and<br />
immense guilt.<br />
“How could I not know he was going<br />
through this?” said Brown, a Grove City<br />
resident whose name was been changed to<br />
protect the identity of her child.<br />
She began to think back to moments of<br />
their daily lives for clues. Did he say anything<br />
was wrong? Did he lose interest in<br />
his activities? Was he being bullied? Did I<br />

not pay enough attention? Are there signs I<br />
missed?<br />
She went to his school and requested to<br />
speak with his teachers. She asked if he<br />
gave any indication that he was struggling<br />
in the classroom.<br />
“They told me he gave them no indication<br />
that he was struggling,” said Brown.<br />
“He maintained his ‘A’ and ‘B’ grades<br />
throughout; a near model student.”<br />
She asked the clinical professionals at<br />
Nationwide Children’s Hospital where her<br />
son was being treated for advice. Upon<br />
their recommendations, she started learning<br />
anything and everything about the<br />
signs of suicide. She began to share her<br />
knowledge with friends who also have children.<br />
“It is so vitally important that every parent<br />
know what changes to look out for,” she<br />
said.<br />
Brown said it was equally important to<br />
talk to them about it, even at a very young<br />
age.<br />
“We educate our children about drugs<br />
and alcohol and sex, but rarely do we talk<br />
to them about anxiety, depression and suicide.”<br />
As a part of her continuing mission to<br />
not only learn more about the topic, but to<br />
give support to parents going through the<br />
same situation, she attended a Signs of<br />
Suicide Forum on May 16 at Grove City<br />
High School. There, Brown was one of<br />
approximately 40 adults in attendance to<br />
hear from a representative with<br />
Nationwide Children’s Hospital offering<br />
advice and tips about behavioral changes<br />
in their children.<br />
Melanie Fluellen, a clinical counselor<br />
who works at the Center for Suicide<br />
Prevention and Research, said one thing to<br />
know about depression and suicide in children<br />
is that it can manifest itself differently<br />
in each child.<br />
“There are typical signs of depression<br />
and suicide but what one warning sign<br />
might be in one child could be different<br />
from another,” she explained.<br />
She said that is why it is so important<br />
that parents take note of their children,<br />
their activities and their behaviors and<br />
compare changes they have noticed<br />
throughout the days, weeks, months and<br />
years.<br />
“You know your child better than anyone<br />
else,” she said. “If something seems different<br />
to you about them, then it probably<br />
is different.”<br />
She said she often hears from parents<br />
who ask about the moodiness of pre-teens<br />
and teens.<br />
“They ask, ‘Well, isn’t that just them<br />
being teenagers?’” she said. “Well, some of<br />
it is, but is it a change from their typical<br />
behavior?”<br />
She recommended that parents communicate<br />
with their children, ask questions<br />
and share aspects of their lives with their<br />
children as well.<br />
“Be open with them,” said Fluellen.<br />
She added that it was important not to<br />
judge their responses.<br />
“If you tell your children they can ask or<br />
tell you anything, you have to be ready for<br />
what answer or response you might<br />
receive.”<br />
As for common signs of depression,<br />
Fluellen said they are feeling sad or irritable<br />
more often than not; sleeping or eating<br />
less than usual; lack of interest in things<br />
that once brought pleasure; withdrawing<br />
from others; participating in reckless<br />
behavior; engaging in self-injurious behavior;<br />
performing poorly in school; physical<br />
symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches;<br />
and increasing use of alcohol or<br />
drugs.<br />
As for some warning signs of suicide,<br />
Fluellen said they are talking to others or<br />
posting on social media about wanting to<br />
die or feeling like a burden; gathering medication,<br />
sharp objects or firearms; expressing<br />
unbearable emotional pain; giving<br />
away prized possessions; suddenly becoming<br />
calm or cheerful after a long period of<br />
depression.<br />
Fluellen said if any child presents these<br />
behaviors, it is time to seek medical help.<br />
“Suicide is preventable,” she said.<br />
“Intervention is the key.”<br />
The Signs of Suicide Forum for parents<br />
was presented through a collaborative program<br />
from Nationwide Children’s Hospital<br />
and the South-Western City Schools<br />
District.<br />
Earlier this year, a pilot program was<br />
initiated at four schools in the district —<br />
Norton and Jackson Middle Schools and<br />
Central Crossing and Franklin Heights<br />
High Schools — where professionals at<br />
Nationwide Children’s provide instruction<br />
to staff and students so they are capable of<br />
recognizing the signs of suicide and depression<br />
in themselves and others. They do this<br />
by teaching the ACT message where they<br />
acknowledge there is a serious concern,<br />
show the person they care and tell a trusted<br />
adult.<br />
April Weese, one of the district’s curriculum<br />
coordinators, said during the forum<br />
that they plan to have the Signs of Suicide<br />
program at two additional schools next<br />
year and possibly more throughout the<br />
upcoming years.<br />
As for Brown, she said that she feels<br />
that this program is and will be instrumental<br />
but knows that there are “a ways to go”<br />
with educating staff, students and parents<br />
about depression and suicide.<br />
“It’s a start, but we cannot move quickly<br />
enough.”<br />

‘Solo’ undeserving of solo film<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
The behind-the-scenes production of<br />
“Solo: A Star Wars Story” was troubled, to<br />
say the least. When filming began early<br />
last year, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller<br />
were at the helm but they were abruptly<br />
fired several months later due to ‘creative<br />
differences.’ In Hollywood speak, that<br />
means the studios were unhappy with<br />
what they had seen on the dailies, started<br />
to panic, and then let go of the people they<br />
felt were ultimately responsible. This<br />
action sparked a frantic search for an experienced<br />
director capable of righting a sinking<br />
ship. They found one in Ron Howard.<br />
Shortly after Howard was hired, the<br />
production began extensive reshoots and,<br />

all told, the studio spent upwards of $300<br />
million to bring a stand-alone film that<br />
there was little demand for to life.<br />
Typically, it does not bode well for<br />
movies when the behind-the-scenes production<br />
are immensely troubled, as this<br />
one was: There is always this monster in<br />
Frankenstein effect where you can tell<br />
where the pieces were shoddily parsed<br />
together. Remarkably, “Solo: A Star Wars<br />
Story” does not come across as a monster<br />
mish-mash movie but it’s not great either.<br />
At least it’s cohesive from beginning to end,<br />
and that is a true credit to its director.<br />
Now that those kudos are out of the<br />
way, it’s time to talk about some of the lingering<br />
issues with Solo. This film, for all of<br />
its good intentions, was not a necessary one<br />
and it never sheds that stench of being a<br />
blatant cash grab by Lucasfilm. To put it<br />
simply, Han Solo did not require an origin<br />
story — some characters are best left with a<br />
little mystery — and it was set up for failure<br />
from the start when the studios thought<br />
any young actor today could be as magnetic<br />
of a presence as Harrison Ford. While<br />
Alden Ehrenreich tries his best, his portrayal<br />
still falls short of being truly good,<br />
just like the rest of the movie.<br />
In Solo, it recounts the early life of the<br />
loveable scoundrel with Han (Ehrenreich)<br />
liberating a vial of hyperfuel from a group<br />
of criminals. The intention is to use that<br />
precious resource to buy his and childhood<br />
sweetheart Qi’ra’s (Emilia Clarke) freedom<br />
so they can purchase a ship and travel<br />
across the galaxy.<br />
As Han’s plans are apt to do, they go a<br />
bit not as planned and he is separated from<br />
Qi’ra. He vows to do whatever it takes to<br />
come back for her.<br />
Years later, Han is kicked out of the<br />
Imperial Navy and demoted to an infantryman.<br />
While fighting for the Empire, he<br />
comes across a group of thieves led by<br />
Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) and<br />
makes his pitch. Naturally, Beckett hates<br />
him on sight and orders that he be killed<br />
for desertion. While in the fighting pits, he<br />
meets a Wookie named Chewbacca (Joonas<br />
Suotamo) and his most lasting friendship is<br />
formed.<br />

The Reel Deal<br />
Dedra Cordle<br />
Had the movie<br />
just been about their<br />
adventures, perhaps<br />
it would be a better,<br />
more engaging<br />
movie; After all,<br />
Han and Chewie<br />
together is the best.<br />
But it instead shifts to this band of thieves<br />
and their mission to steal a shipment of<br />
coaxium for a major crime syndicate. It<br />
does, however, end with the fabled Kessel<br />
Run.<br />
As an origin story, Solo does not truly<br />
work because, as stated before, it’s not a<br />
necessary one. As a heist film, however, it<br />
does work and the action that takes place<br />
during the coaxium grab on the planet<br />
Kessel is some of the best action sequences<br />
in the Star Wars cinematic universe. It’s<br />
humorous, tightly shot and lots of fun to<br />
watch. Unfortunately, those descriptors<br />
cannot be said for the entirety of Solo. It<br />
starts slow, chugs along and then finally<br />
picks up steam near the end when you’re<br />
less invested, and I never thought I could<br />
say that about a film starring the character<br />
of Han Solo. Grade: C<br />
