Coaches PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP Continued from page 1 and has the residents repair sidewalks deemed dangerous. “All parts of the township are included in this program and if residents want to report a sidewalk they can call the road department and they will inspect it,” said Stephen Kennedy, township trustee. Hatmaker said that the township has been focused on asking for mandatory improvements on the oldest sidewalks in the township first, but added if they receive a complaint, they will review the sidewalk to see if improvements need to be made. “There are rules and guidelines for what needs to be repaired,” Kennedy added. “Just because a neighbor complains, doesn’t mean the sidewalk has to be repaired. It just will be inspected sooner than it would have been.” This year the township has allocated $100,000 for the program and plans to begin repairing sidewalks this summer. The board also approved several payments to enhance security of township assets, including the township hall and the new Galloway Road Sports Complex. The board approved spending over $14,200 to upgrade the township hall security and fire alarm system. “We would like to have motion detectors www.columbusmessenger.com CC Memorial Service The Hilltop Historical Society will host the 123rd annual Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery Memorial Service at 3 p.m. June 10 at 2900 Sullivant Ave. in Columbus.

Additionally, the board approved spending approximately $23,173 on splicing the township’s fiber optic network to allow Wi- Fi at the Galloway Road Sports Complex. “This Wi-Fi access will allow us to have cameras and phone service at the concession stand,” said James Gant, director of the community center. “Previously we were told we could have Wi-Fi out there and then found out we needed to do this in order to have it.” Gant also gave an update on when the complex would open. “Realistically it will open next spring,” he said. “We were hoping for this fall, but because we had a wet spring we haven’t been able to get heavy equipment on the field for grading. Once the grading is complete, the seeding will be done, and it takes year for the grass to grow.” Officials are hoping the facility can be used regularly by summer or fall of 2019.

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