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 />

Harrison College offered associate and<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 />

Harrison College, along with Columbus<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 />

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 />

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 />

half of the core construction cost was covered<br />

by the state.<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 />

Active Lifestyles<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 />
