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 />

Eliana came to the<br />

rescue group with a<br />

litter of three kittens.<br />

They’re weaned now<br />

and this beautiful<br />

Abyssinian mix is<br />

now ready for retirement<br />

from motherhood.<br />

Eliana is a real sweetheart. She is 1-<br />

year-old, spayed, microchipped, FL/FIV negative<br />

and up to date on vaccines. Eliana is up<br />

for adoption through Colony Cats.<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 />
