College closure<br />
impacts city<br />
scholarships<br />
By Andrea Cordle<br />
<strong>Southwest</strong> Editor<br />
Grove City officials have had a longterm<br />
goal to establish a higher learning<br />
center and offer advanced education to residents.<br />
That plan received a setback with<br />
the sudden closure of Harrison College.<br />
On Sept. 14, Harrison College<br />
announced its plans to close operations as<br />
of Sept. 16.<br />
“After 116 years serving Indiana, Ohio<br />
and North Carolina, Harrison College has<br />
made the difficult business decision to<br />
close operations,” said the school in a statement<br />
on its website.<br />
Though the for-profit college is largely<br />
based in Indiana, it operated a facility<br />
located at 3880 Jackpot Road in Grove<br />
City.<br />
“It was very disappointing to hear about<br />
the school closing,” said Grove City<br />
Administrator Chuck Boso. “We do hope<br />
this leads to greater opportunity.”<br />

The first recipient of COSI’s STEM Star Award went to Grove City resident Justin Walls for his hand-crafted and custom-made<br />
vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle that has garnered international attention and acclaim. Shown in this photo at the far left,<br />
Walls was presented with the award for his achievements in the field on Sept. 15 alongside COSI mascot RATiO, Mayor Richard<br />
“Ike’ Stage and COSI Vice-President Stephen White.<br />

There is a preconception, says Jaclyn<br />
Reynolds, that achievement in the science,<br />
technology, engineering and mathematics<br />
field is primarily taking place in<br />
laboratories throughout the world.<br />
“We know that to be false because our<br />
lives are constantly being touched by<br />
advancements that are not just being<br />
made by scientists in labs,” said the director<br />
of communications for COSI.<br />
In order to try to alter that widely-held<br />
assumption, the science museum and<br />
research center recently announced a<br />
search to find those in the region who are<br />
making an impact in the STEM field in<br />
ways one might not ordinarily imagine.<br />
Upon hearing of this quest to find a<br />
local STEM star, officials with the city of<br />
Grove City knew immediately that they<br />
had to nominate resident Justin Walls for<br />
their consideration.<br />
“He is an ultimate craftsman,” said<br />
Don Walters, the city’s business and communications<br />
officer.<br />
The city’s first experience with the<br />
native fabricator took place a few years<br />
ago when they experienced a major issue<br />
regarding the Christmas display.<br />
“Our Nutcrackers, we found, were not<br />
capable of withstanding major gusts of<br />
wind,” Walters said.<br />
Knowing that Walls had something of<br />
a reputation for “funky projects,” chief<br />
building and zoning official Michael Boso<br />
recommended Walls for the job.<br />

“He fixed everything and it’s thanks to him that we<br />
have these safe Nutcrackers on display each year,” said<br />
Walters.<br />
While the Nutcracker project was largely what introduced<br />
many in the city government to Walls, it was his<br />
recent and acclaimed work on an antique motorcycle that<br />
made them nominate him for the COSI STEM Star Award.<br />
As the son of an owner of a diesel shop, Walls spent<br />
much of his childhood helping his father and gaining<br />
expertise in how automobiles work. Along the way, he<br />

developed a love for racing vehicles, particular vintage<br />
motorcycles.<br />
“Somehow it just became my passion,” said Walls, a<br />
2006 graduate of the South-Western Career Academy.<br />
Nearly 10 years ago, he opened his own business,<br />
BTTW (Built the Traditional Way), and has made a name<br />
for himself specializing in crafting and improving antique<br />
motorcycles.<br />
“It’s a really hard thing to get into, and not just because<br />
it’s expensive,” he said with a laugh. “You have to gain the<br />
respect of the old timers.”<br />
Three years ago, Walls was invited for the first<br />
time to show one of his custom bikes at the Born<br />
Free Motorcycle Show in California. His 1927<br />
Harley won Best Competition Motorcycle.<br />
“I thought that one was a little underappreciated,”<br />
he admitted.<br />
The following year, he was once again invited but<br />
turned it down due to time constraints.<br />
“It takes a lot, and a lot out of you, to build your<br />
own bike,” he said.<br />
Earlier this year, he was once again invited to<br />
participate and believed he had something truly<br />
special to work with.<br />
“A friend of mine had this old, very rare motor,<br />
and wanted me to build around it,” he said.<br />
Having always wanted to build a motorcycle for<br />
land speed racing, he decided to build a bike that<br />
paid homage to the 1937 Harley Davidson<br />
Knucklehead made famous for its unusual design<br />
and for racer Joe Petrali.<br />
Using only the motor and photos taken from a<br />
museum in North Carolina, Walls hand-crafted the<br />
motorcycle using new technology to recreate the<br />
rare parts. The process took nearly four months.<br />
The results, however, were something he never<br />
dreamed.<br />
“I am so shocked and humbled by the attention<br />

This photo of Justin Walls was taken by Jordan Pay at<br />
the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He is with his custom<br />
bike built for land speed racing.<br />
this bike has brought me,” he said.<br />
After taking ‘Best in Show’ at the Born Free event this<br />
year, he was invited by event sponsor Mooneyes to take the<br />
1948 Harley Davidson motorcycle to Japan for additional<br />
showcases. He has also been featured in many international<br />
magazines and is set to take the bike to Utah next year<br />
to race at the Bonneville Salt Flats.<br />
Walls said he has been in a state of disbelief since<br />
unveiling the motorcycle and was floored when he was<br />
informed by the city that they were nominating him for the<br />
COSI Stem Star Award.<br />
“To be recognized by the city you grew up in is pretty<br />
awesome,” he said.<br />
He added that he was honored to be named one of the<br />
first recipients of this award for his achievement in the<br />
field.<br />
“Our industry is sort of lacking, per se, because we don’t<br />
get kids as involved,” he said. “I think that by doing things<br />
like this, we can show what is possible in this particular<br />
field.”<br />
As a recipient of the COSI STEM Star<br />
Award, Walls will be a grand marshal at<br />
the first COSI Science Festival, which is<br />
slated for May 2019.<br />

Continued from page 1<br />
Harrison College offered associate and<br />
bachelor degree programs in business,<br />
health science, information technology and<br />
nursing.<br />
According to the statement on the<br />
school’s website, Harrison College is working<br />
with transfer and teach-out partners,<br />
including state governing bodies, to ensure<br />
each student has a pathway to complete<br />
their education. For local students, the<br />
school said it is working closely with the<br />
Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and<br />
Schools to identify transfer partners.<br />
The closure of Harrison College affects<br />
the Grove City Higher Education<br />
Investment Program. This program was<br />
adopted in 2015 and encourages students<br />
to remain in Grove City after graduation.<br />
The city program offers a loan of up to<br />
$1,000 per semester or $3,000 a year for<br />
each student residing within the corporation<br />
limits of Grove City, who attend an<br />
accredited higher education program that<br />
has a presence in Grove City. This included<br />
Harrison College, along with Columbus<br />
State Community College and Ohio<br />

and Ohio Dominican University were<br />

Sunday, Oct. 7, at the Old-Time Harvest<br />
Day at Century Village in Fryer Park, 4185<br />
Orders Road.<br />
For most of Ohio’s history, the fall harvest<br />
featured neighbors working together<br />
to reap the fruits of the growing season and<br />
prepare for the winter ahead. The<br />
<strong>Southwest</strong> Franklin County Historical<br />
Society and the city of Grove City provide<br />
an opportunity for families to connect with<br />
their community’s past.<br />
Enjoy a living history experience with a<br />
variety of hands-on activities including oldtime<br />
games, traditional crafts such as<br />
leather tooling and rope weaving, and daily<br />
chores like churning butter and pumping<br />
well water. Take a wagon ride through<br />
Century Village, mingle with costumed reenactors,<br />
listen to period music and<br />
observe traditional cooking practices. View<br />
restored or reconstructed historical buildings<br />
including a one-room schoolhouse, log<br />
cabin, general store and barns. Visit the<br />

equipment.<br />
Stop in the blacksmith shop to watch a<br />

Coffee with a Cop Day<br />
The Grove City Division of Police, city of<br />
Grove City and Grove City Area Chamber<br />
of Commerce will host Coffee with a Cop,<br />
from 10 to 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 3 at<br />
Tim Hortons, 2111 Stringtown Road, to celebrate<br />
National Coffee With a Cop Day.<br />
Join Police Chief Rick Butsko and officers<br />
for a unique opportunity to ask questions<br />
and learn more about the division’s<br />
work serving the Grove City community.<br />
The program expands the division’s outreach<br />
to citizens continuing the Grove City<br />
community policing philosophy. There is no<br />
agenda, just a casual opportunity to ask<br />
questions and share ideas over morning<br />
coffee.<br />
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative<br />
designed to advance the practice of community<br />
policing and strengthen relationships<br />
between police officers and the community.<br />
years after taking their last course. They<br />
must also perform a minimum of three<br />
hours of volunteer work within the community.<br />
According to Boso, there were two students<br />
who each received a $1,000 scholarship<br />
to attend Harrison College this semester.<br />
Boso said Harrison College would hopefully<br />
reimburse the students and the students<br />
under the scholarship program could<br />
then reimburse the city.<br />
Under the Higher Education<br />
Investment Program, it is required that<br />
the student receiving the scholarship funds<br />
must attend an institution that has a presence<br />
in Grove City. However, Boso said in<br />
this case, leeway would be considered.<br />
“I would hope the city would be understanding<br />
of the situation,” said Boso.<br />
As for the Harrison College facility on<br />
Jackpot Road, Boso said it is a privatelyowned<br />
building and the city plans to reach<br />
out to the property owner to find out their<br />
plans.<br />

Grove City council shows support for Issue 7<br />
By Andrea Cordle<br />
<strong>Southwest</strong> Editor<br />
Grove City Council gave its support to<br />
the South-Western City Schools District.<br />
At the Sept. 17 meeting, council<br />
approved a resolution to support Issue 7,<br />
the district’s bond levy of 1.86 mills, that<br />
will be on the Nov. 6 ballot.<br />
In 2012, voters supported a bond issue<br />
to rebuild or renovate all the elementary<br />
schools in the district and build a new<br />
Franklin Heights High School. That was<br />
the first segment of the school building project.<br />
Now, the second segment begins.<br />
“You can’t drive by the new elementary<br />
schools without pride,” said Issue 7 cochair<br />
Larry Titus. “Now, it’s time to see<br />

high tech and safe middle schools, just like<br />
the elementary schools.”<br />
The district is partnering with the Ohio<br />
Facilities Construction Commission to<br />
rebuild the four oldest middle schools —<br />
Brookpark, Finland, Norton and Pleasant<br />
View. The project would also include building<br />
an addition onto Jackson Middle<br />
School, renovating East Franklin<br />
Elementary School and completing some<br />
roofing and asphalt projects.<br />
The total cost of the project is estimated<br />
at $163 million. The state would pay $60<br />
million toward the construction project.<br />
The district will have retiring bond debt to<br />
offset the 1.86-mills generated by the issue,<br />
which would allow the project to be completed<br />
at no additional cost to taxpayers.<br />

According to school district<br />
Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise, if voters<br />
approve the bond issue, the design phase<br />
would begin in 2019 and the new middle<br />
schools could be open by the fall of 2022.<br />
Councilman Roby Schottke asked if the<br />
new middle schools would be able to house<br />
more students.<br />
Wise said the project would add about<br />
800 to 900 seats at the middle school level.<br />
He also said Brookpark Middle School<br />
would not be built on its existing site. The<br />
district is looking to move that school closer<br />
to the Beulah Park property, which is<br />
undergoing redevelopment. The current<br />
Brookpark building could be used as extra<br />
space if needed.<br />
Councilman Steven Robinette asked the<br />
College Fair<br />
The South-Western City Schools<br />
District will host the <strong>2018</strong> College Fair<br />
from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 8 at Central Crossing<br />
High School, 4500 Big Run South Road in<br />
Grove City. The free event is open to all<br />
superintendent if the new elementary<br />
school buildings have ended up cutting<br />
operational costs.<br />
Wise said the newly designed schools<br />
are geothermal.<br />
“Last year, we did not use natural gas to<br />
heat the buildings until after January,”<br />
said Wise.<br />
Wise also said the classrooms have light<br />
monitors so if no movement is detected<br />
within 20 minutes, the lights go out.<br />
“There is no question - our square<br />
footage costs are less,” said the superintendent.<br />
The South-Western City Schools<br />
District is one of the largest public school<br />
districts in the state of Ohio. It has more<br />
than 22,000 students and covers 119<br />
square miles in southwestern Franklin<br />
County.<br />

A bi-monthly feature celebrating the<br />
wisdom, experience and contributions of our community’s senior citizens<br />
Franklin County helps for Hunger Action Month<br />
Feeding America has declared<br />
<strong>September</strong> “Hunger Action Month.”<br />
The Franklin County Office on Aging<br />
takes an active role in ensuring that older<br />
adults in Franklin County have access to<br />
the food assistance services they need to<br />
preserve their independence and quality of<br />
life.<br />
Food assistance services are ones that<br />
address the needs of those who are struggling<br />
to either gain access to food or prepare<br />
their meals. Franklin County is a service<br />
rich community that offers a myriad of<br />
services to combat hunger and these services<br />
are a vital resource to older adults<br />
Informed Aging - By Michelle Missler<br />
residing within our community. It is a priority<br />
of the Franklin County Office on<br />
Aging, through the Senior Options program,<br />
to provide both the connection to and<br />
funding for food assistance services such as<br />
home delivered meals and nutritional supplements.<br />
In 2017, Franklin County Senior<br />
Options was able to provide approximately<br />
673,000 home delivered meals as well as<br />
almost 275,000 cans of nutritional supplements<br />
for individuals over the age of 60<br />
residing in Franklin County.<br />
In addition to these programs the<br />
Franklin County Office on Aging also operates<br />
an Information and Referral line for<br />
older adults and their caregivers to connect<br />
individuals to the robust food assistance<br />
programs within Franklin County.<br />
If you or someone you know is in need of<br />
access to a food pantry, congregate meal<br />
site or home delivered or supplemental<br />
meal please do not hesitate to call the<br />
Franklin County Office on Aging at 614-<br />
525-6200.<br />
We are here to help connect you with<br />
services to meet your need.<br />

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH<br />
<strong>September</strong> is National Preparedness Month. National Preparedness Month was<br />
founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness across the United States. The <strong>2018</strong><br />
theme: “Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How.” focuses on planning. We are<br />
reminded to take the opportunity to plan and prepare ourselves and our families for all<br />
hazards and emergencies before they happen. Emergencies can occur anytime and<br />
anywhere without advance notice.<br />
<br />
<br />
tornados. Make sure to consider the costs associated with disasters and save for an<br />
<br />
gas.<br />
In our area power outages are a common occurrence this time of year after a<br />
<br />
to last for at least 72 hours. To receive advance warnings of thunderstorms or other<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
system is designed to notify residents about emergencies and other important<br />
community news in jurisdictions throughout Franklin County.<br />
Know how you will communicate during a disaster. Consider these steps to start<br />
your emergency communication plan:<br />
2. SHARE. Make certain trusted people in your support network know:<br />
Where your emergency supplies are kept.<br />
How to contact you if the power goes out.<br />
<br />
contact each other directly.<br />
What medical devices or assistive technology devices that you need to have<br />
with you if there is an evacuation order from local officials.<br />
<br />
ventilation.<br />
How to obtain a copy of your plan.<br />
3. PRACTICE. Just like you would a fire drill.<br />
Discuss your needs and/or the needs of a family member; learn about their<br />
assistance or services. Advocate including people with disabilities and others<br />
with access and functional needs into emergency planning in your community.<br />
<br />
employer includes the needs of people with disabilities and others with access<br />
and functional needs.<br />
Educate children and adults about why being prepared is important.<br />

<strong>Messenger</strong> photos by Dedra Cordle<br />
Thousands of people descended on the city of Grove City for the 39th annual Arts<br />
in the Alley event, which is sponsored by the Grove City Chamber of Commerce.<br />
Throughout the weekend of Sept. 15, dozens of vendors displayed their handmade<br />
arts and crafts while even more curious fans browsed and purchased said creations.<br />
In addition to the vendor booth, a kids’ play zone was also a popular attraction<br />
for families. Here, Jan Evans talks about her handcrafted quilt, ‘Men Chasing<br />
Kangaroos,’ at the quilt exhibit. Evans said the piece was inspired by her trip to<br />
Australia as well as her love for kangaroos.<br />

“A Simple Favor” an<br />
unexpected delight<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
I want to get this complaint out of<br />
the way before I begin the review for<br />
“A Simple Favor” and it is directed<br />
Dedra Cordle<br />
at the studio who produced this film.<br />
To whomever it may concern, the<br />
marketing was pitiful and at no point<br />
should the person in charge be tasked with<br />
promoting a film of this nature ever again.<br />
It was clear from watching this film that<br />
this person or persons had no idea how to<br />
pitch the concept to an audience. In one<br />
trailer, it was billed as a straight comedy.<br />
In another, a thriller. At no point in time did it convey the truth of<br />
this film and that is one of ridiculous trash. And I truly mean that<br />
in the best way possible.<br />
“A Simple Favor” is a bizarre, off-the-walls (and rails) dark<br />
comedy with bite and wit. It’s one of the most entertaining films of<br />
the year and yet one of the strangest as well.<br />
It opens with not-so-popular vlogger Stephanie Smothers<br />
(Anna Kendrick) preparing to make feel better cookies for those<br />
low in spirits. As she’s readying the batter, she launches into why<br />
she felt it was important to make these particular cookies as she<br />
is struggling with the recent disappearance of her best friend.<br />
Flashing back to the weeks prior, we see Stephanie, who is generally<br />
viewed by her peers as an uptight, lonely spinster, signing<br />
up for a majority of the festive activities in her son’s elementary<br />
classroom. After hearing pointed comments about her lack of<br />
doing, well, anything else other than crafts, she tries to strike up<br />
a friendship with the mother of her son’s new playmate.<br />
At first, people think she is out of her depth for wanting to<br />
befriend Emily Nelson (Blake Lively), a rich and fabulous public<br />
relations manager at a fashion agency, but the two soon strike up<br />
a relationship that is equal parts supportive and stinging.<br />
As the weeks go by, we see them growing closer, and we see<br />
Stephanie begin to covet Emily’s life — her lovely home, her exciting<br />
job, her beautiful husband Sean (Henry Golding.) Then one<br />
day, Emily asks Stephanie for a simple favor and is never heard<br />
from again.<br />
Upon receiving confirmation of her death, Stephanie and Sean<br />
begin a romantic relationship. Shortly thereafter, she moves into<br />
their home and then strange things start to happen. Emily and<br />
Sean’s son Nicky (Ian Ho) begins to talk of seeing his mother, and<br />
then items around the home mysteriously appear and disappear.<br />
A haunting never crosses Stephanie’s mind, yet sabotage does. ‘Is<br />
Emily still alive?’ she wonders. And if so, why is she hiding and<br />
trying to frame others for her death? Or maybe Stephanie is not so<br />
innocent after all.<br />
From start to finish, “A Simple Favor” is utterly bonkers and it<br />
revels in the fact. There are twists and turns and while most of<br />
those go nowhere, they are essential to the messy plot. This film<br />
goes all over the place and the actors are game, particularly<br />
Kendrick and Lively. I’ve never been a big fan of Lively’s acting,<br />
but she is so good in the role of Emily. She’s the kind of morally<br />
ambiguous character I think most actors would love to play,<br />
though it would be hard to pull off. She does though, and it’s great<br />
to watch.<br />
Coming from director Paul Feig, who is primarily known for<br />
comedic films like “The Heat” and “Spy,” “A Simple Favor” is an<br />
unexpected, demented delight that was given no marketing favor<br />
from its studio. Truthfully, its theme and the general atmosphere<br />
of ‘What the heck am I watching?’ won’t be for everyone, but for<br />
those looking for an odd and oddly good time, do yourself a favor<br />
and catch this movie. Grade: B+<br />
