Embracing<br />
Differences<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Like many children his age, Jaiden<br />
Gray is just looking to make a connection.<br />
He tries to strike up conversations about<br />
popular subjects, is always willing to<br />
share his beloved Legos, and generally<br />
loves sharing in the company of his peers.<br />
The only problem is they sometimes don’t<br />
know how to act or react when he works<br />
up the courage to make an attempt.<br />
“They see him as different due to his<br />
mannerisms and that can often lead<br />
them to being fearful, isolating, aggressive<br />
or just plain cruel,” said his grandmother<br />
and guardian Tamera Bang.<br />
Their reaction, she said, is something<br />
they have been dealing with for most of<br />
his life and she is tired of it happening.<br />
“It’s completely heartbreaking,” she<br />
said. “It’s just absolutely devastating to<br />
see his typically developing peers treat<br />
him and others this way because of their<br />
outward appearance or how they behave.<br />
“Something has to change.”<br />
The breaking point for the special<br />
needs teacher’s aide came during a recent<br />
trip to a local park on the <strong>Westside</strong> when<br />
Jaiden walked up to a group of boys<br />
around his age to talk about the popular<br />
game Fortnite.<br />
“He’s obsessed with that game so his<br />
interest was piqued when he overheard<br />
them talking about it,” she said.<br />
Recalling the lessons he learned in<br />
school and in therapy upon his diagnosis<br />
of autism spectrum disorder, Jaiden took<br />
the chance to possibly form a new connection<br />
about their shared interest.<br />
It was an experience that got progressively<br />
worse.<br />
“At first, they barely acknowledged his<br />
presence and Jaiden looked to me for support,”<br />
Bang said. “I made a gesture of<br />
encouragement because I know how<br />
much it took for him to go up and speak<br />
Jaiden Gray (shown here) and his family work to change the way younger children<br />
interact with their peers who have special needs.<br />
to new people and then they started calling<br />
him names.”<br />
Like some children with autism,<br />
Jaiden often has a hard time differentiating<br />
between when someone is joking with<br />
him and when someone is being mean.<br />
And so he did what he normally does<br />
when he sees people laughing and smiling<br />
— he laughed and smiled along too.<br />
“He didn’t realize what was happening<br />
until his younger brother Jace got upset<br />
on his behalf and started telling the boys<br />
to be nicer,” said Bang. “Then it dawned<br />
on him what had happened and he got<br />
really upset too.”<br />
When the trio returned home, Bang<br />
started recalling similar moments in his<br />
life. There was the time when he was at<br />
school and called the “R” word after he<br />
had a meltdown about indoor recess (he<br />
dislikes the rain and noisy environments).<br />
There was the time he was made fun of<br />
after an epileptic incident in the classroom.<br />
There was the time he was teased<br />
for separating toys into designs and patterns<br />
that made sense only to him. And<br />
there was the time when he invited his<br />
entire class to his home for a birthday<br />
party and only one person showed up.<br />
“It can be so exhausting,” Bang said.<br />
“He’s such a bright, funny, creative kid<br />
with so much to offer this world and I just<br />
want others to see him the way that I do.<br />
I just want them to give him and others<br />
like him a chance to show that just<br />

Water rates<br />
debated in Prairie<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
At a recent meeting, the Prairie<br />
Township trustees discussed the possibility<br />
of reducing water rates for residents.<br />
According to township officials, a study<br />
is being conducted to see what the cost<br />
would be for Columbus to take over<br />
Franklin County sewer and water services.<br />
“The city, county and township are looking<br />
at doing a study to see what the various<br />
options are cost-wise for water and<br />
sewer in the area and how it will be managed,”<br />
said Tracy Hatmaker, township<br />
administrator. “The city and county are in<br />
talks to potentially take over the county’s<br />
system.”<br />
However, according to Hatmaker, no<br />
decision on this will be made until the<br />

because they have differences doesn’t mean<br />
they are completely different.”<br />
To try to change the way younger children<br />
interact with their peers who have<br />
special needs, Bang has been brainstorming<br />
methods parents and schools can<br />
employ to make sure they are accepting of<br />
others rather than fearful or isolating.<br />
“I think they should try to use the<br />
Sesame Street model,” she said. “They<br />

At the school level, Bang said it wouldn’t<br />
hurt to have individualized programs that<br />
discourages the bullying of others.<br />
In the district where Jaiden is a student,<br />
they do put an emphasis on anti-bullying<br />
and inclusion, says Sandy Nekoloff, the<br />
executive director of communications for<br />
the South-Western City Schools District.<br />
She explained that at the elementary<br />
school level, they follow the seven virtues<br />
based on the basic school research of Dr.<br />
Ernest Boyer which emphasizes honesty,<br />
respect, responsibility, compassion, selfdiscipline,<br />
perseverance and giving.<br />
She also added that they employ the<br />
responsive classroom which empowers educators<br />
to create safe, joyful and engaging<br />
learning communities where all students<br />
have a sense of belonging. Nekoloff further<br />
explained that each school has its own specialized<br />
program to bring children of all<br />
development abilities together and are<br />
always willing to look into doing more.<br />
As for the parental education aspect,<br />
Nekoloff said they often work with the<br />

Continued from page 1<br />
study is complete. The study is looking at<br />
the overall Franklin County sewer and<br />
water system, the improvements that need<br />
to be made and the amount of people who<br />
currently use the system.<br />
“They also will look at what our rates<br />
should be to make it most economical for<br />
them given the number of households we<br />
have in the township,” Hatmaker said.<br />
Township residents receive their water<br />
and sewer service through Franklin<br />
County and have complained about their<br />
bills being double what neighboring communities<br />
pay.<br />
“The water bills in Prairie Township are<br />
more than double what they are for the<br />
same home with the same water usage in<br />
Columbus,” said John Griffith, a landlord<br />
in Prairie Township. “People live on fixed<br />
incomes in this community and a $400 or<br />
$500 water bill is devastating for them.”<br />
In the spring, Franklin County had a<br />
public meeting where officials explained to<br />
residents why their water was so high and<br />
what they are planning to do about it.<br />
Franklin County Sanitary Engineer’s<br />
Director Stephen Renner said the reason<br />
for the increases is due to the aging water<br />
and sewer system, how spread out the<br />
service areas are and the fleet of service<br />
trucks that have to service these areas on<br />
any given day.<br />
Officials added that the county has only<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
Parent Teacher Association to offer antibullying<br />
research, resources and programs<br />
such as Box Out Bullying.<br />
Relatedly, Dr. Charlies Albright, a psychology<br />
faculty member at the Nationwide<br />
Children’s Hospital Child Development<br />
Center suggested that parents speak to<br />
their children about the physical or behavioral<br />
differences of their peers so they do<br />
not have a fear or distrust of mannerism<br />
that may come across as atypical.<br />
“It is important that parents teach their<br />
children that these differences do not mean<br />
that children with autism are not smart,<br />
that they cannot be your friends, or that<br />
they cannot have fun with you,” he wrote in<br />
an email. “Everyone is different. Everyone<br />
has areas where they excel and areas<br />
where they have challenges. It is important<br />
to help children learn to have respect for all<br />
of their peers and empathy for those who<br />
have challenges.”<br />
“If children learn to recognize and have<br />
compassion for the differences of others,”<br />
he added, “they can learn that children<br />
with autism have as many similarities to<br />
them as they have differences.”<br />

increased the water bills slightly the past<br />
few years to try to reduce customer expenses.<br />
However, in reality they should have<br />
been increasing the water rates by a lot<br />
more to maintain the aging system that is<br />
in need of repairs.<br />
“In order for us to pay for the infrastructure<br />
needs over the next decade, we would<br />
need to increase the rates by 15 to 20 percent<br />
every year,” said Erik Janas, deputy<br />
county administrator for Franklin County.<br />
“We have held rates over the last three<br />
years and have kept increases consistent<br />
with Columbus, which is 2 to 3 percent.<br />
This has resulted in us falling further<br />
behind.”<br />
Janas added that the commissioners<br />
have agreed to fund $2.5 million a year<br />
over four to five years, which equals to<br />
approximately $15 million for continued<br />
maintenance of the system.<br />
The township is part of a committee<br />
that is looking at bringing Columbus water<br />
to Prairie Township. The attorney for the<br />
township is participating in these meetings<br />
on the township’s behalf.<br />
“We are moving along, but it is going to<br />
be a lengthy process,” said Stephen<br />
Kennedy, township trustee. “We hope to<br />
have something finalized in a two-year<br />
time frame, but right now there are no<br />
hookups yet.”

Magic Key<br />
Story Hour<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
When the Magic Key Story Hour was<br />
first introduced to the community nearly<br />
two decades ago, members of the Westland<br />
High School Key Club who were tasked<br />
with leading the program were unsure as<br />
it how it would be received.<br />
“It was very much a pilot program,” said<br />
Jim Hamm, a former advisor at the school<br />
and a long-standing member of the local<br />
Kiwanis Clubs. “We had no idea if children<br />
would show up for it, had no idea if they<br />
would want to come back, and we really<br />
had no clue if it would still be around in<br />
the future.”<br />
But a remarkable thing occurred, he<br />
said, as the community became more<br />
aware of what the program was and the<br />
mission behind it.<br />
“They came, they kept coming and this<br />
award-winning project is still around,” he<br />
said.<br />
For a limited time each year, current<br />
members of the school’s Key Club meet at<br />
the Westland Area Library to set up stations<br />
for children throughout the community.<br />
“They come in early on a Saturday, pick<br />
up a bunch of crafts and supplies and<br />
books, prepare one of the meeting rooms<br />
and take it from there,” said Jessica<br />
Williams, a youth services associate.<br />
The first date of this year’s Magic Key<br />
Story Hour program took place on Nov. 3<br />
with a new crop of students at the helm.<br />
“Most of our Key Club students leading<br />
the story hour have not participated (in<br />
Magic Key Story Hour) before, so we’ll see<br />
how it goes,” said advisor Brad Kramer<br />
shortly before the event kicked-off.<br />
When the program started around 1<br />
p.m., curious children started peeking<br />
around the door frame, eyes and faces<br />
lighting up when they saw tables full of<br />
construction paper, stickers, glitter, glue<br />
and pre-cut patterns to make holiday<br />
crafts.<br />
“It’s fantastic,” said 8-year-old Jai Sin.<br />
Welcoming them was roughly 12<br />

Samantha Khuon, president of the Westland High School Key Club, provides assistance<br />
to 6-year-old Nancy Garcia as they make holiday crafts during Magic Key Story<br />
Hour on Nov. 3. The popular student-led reading and activities program will be held on<br />
the first Saturday of each month through March from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Westland Area<br />
Library.<br />
eagerly anticipating this day.<br />
“I’ve been looking forward to being<br />
involved in this program for a long time,”<br />
said freshman Mercedes Schultz. “I had<br />
heard so many great things about this program<br />
before coming to the school and I<br />
couldn’t wait to sign up.”<br />
At first, the students provided assistance<br />
to the handful of children as they<br />
made crafts, then led them in a game of<br />
pin-the-feathers on the turkey. Though the<br />
children seemed more interested in going<br />
back to the craft station afterwards, they<br />
did manage to make it to the rug for story<br />
time.<br />
“Sometimes we have to adapt to what<br />
the children want,” said Kramer. “We<br />
always try to have the students read more<br />
books during story hour but sometimes it’s<br />
hard to pull the kids, both the children<br />
here and our students, away from the craft<br />
stations.”<br />

took a slight detour from her regular<br />
Saturday afternoon date at the library<br />
with son Jai when she saw the sign posted<br />
for the Magic Key Story Hour near the<br />
entrance. She said at first they just wanted<br />
to see what was going on, but decided to<br />
stay when they saw so many people having<br />
fun.<br />
“I think it’s just wonderful that you<br />
have these high school students volunteering<br />
their time to help little kids make<br />
crafts and read to them,” she said. “It<br />
seems to be a fantastic program and I<br />
would definitely bring him back for their<br />
next event.”<br />
The Magic Key Story Hour will take<br />
place from 1 to 2 p.m. on the first Saturday<br />
of each month through March. Schultz said<br />
children should expect more holiday<br />
themed crafts and related games and<br />
books. The program is held at the<br />

Remembering e Great Flood<br />
ProMusica and Opera Columbus Performed “The Great Flood of 1913” at LifeCare Alliance’s Carrie’s Cafe<br />
on Nov. 7. The performance told a story of connection through loss and tragedy, centered around the devastation<br />
of Columbus’ Franklinton neighborhood in the Great Flood of 1913. Many older adults were on<br />
hand for this sneak peek of the commissioned performance. Here, vocalist Chelsea Hart Melcher performs<br />
for the crowd. The Great Flood was a transformative event in the history of Columbus and Ohio. A 1913<br />
superstorm caused the largest flood in 100 years, sending water into communities in central and western<br />
Ohio, killing hundreds and leaving thousands homeless. In Columbus, the Scioto River flooded<br />
Franklinton with waters up to 17 feet, killing 96 people, injuring hundreds, and destroying more than 500<br />
buildings.<br />

Affordable housing a growing concern<br />
The affordable housing crisis is at the heart of the<br />
American economy and impossible to ignore.<br />
Affordable housing has become an increasingly<br />
serious concern as the housing market tightens with<br />
population growth and rents rise to take advantage of<br />
the increasing demand. American cities have become<br />
unaffordable to those whose incomes are not keeping<br />
pace with current housing costs. Whether you’re a<br />
renter or a homeowner, affordable housing is a fundamental<br />
human need for any adult or family to survive<br />
and thrive.<br />
Franklin County’s senior population has needs for<br />
both affordable and accessible housing with services.<br />
Americans 65 to 74 are now the country’s fastest-growing<br />
age group. According to a 2014 AARP survey, 88<br />
percent of older adults want to remain in place as they<br />
age. Our seniors are facing costly housing challenges<br />
that include: home repairs/modifications, neighborhood<br />
re-gentrification, impaired mobility, relocation of<br />

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the <strong>Messenger</strong> Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County.<br />
PREPARE FOR WINTER WEATHER — GET YOUR FLU VACCINE NOW<br />
Despite the prediction of an average to below average winter, The Franklin<br />
County Office on Aging issues its annual winter announcement to seniors urging<br />
them to take preventive measures and plan early for winter weather. Learn<br />
about the emergency plans that have been established in your area by your<br />
state and local government and ensure your home and car are prepared for the<br />
winter weather.<br />
FEMA recommends you prepare an emergency supply kit, develop a family<br />
communications plan with up to date contacts and stay informed about the risks<br />
and weather emergencies in your community.<br />
An emergency supply kit should include a three-day supply of food and water, a<br />
battery-powered or hand-crank radio, extra flashlights and batteries, prescription<br />
medicines and copies of prescriptions and adequate clothing and blankets. To<br />
guarantee an uninterrupted supply of prescription medicines, contact your<br />
pharmacy today and find out if they have a free home-delivery or mail order<br />
service. If this option is available, consider subscribing or enrolling now to<br />
ensure a continuous supply in your home.<br />
Getting the flu vaccine soon is also another important way for you to prepare for<br />
the winter season. People over the age of 50 are one of several groups recommended<br />
for a seasonal flu shot. Caregivers of seniors also fall under these<br />
general flu shot recommendations due to the possibility of spreading the virus to<br />
the individuals they care for.<br />
People 65 years and older have two flu shots available to choose from - a<br />
regular dose flu vaccine and a newer flu vaccine designed for people 65 and<br />
older with a higher dose. The high dose vaccine is associated with a stronger<br />
immune response to vaccination. Preliminary studies suggest this may translate<br />
into greater protection against flu disease. The CDC and its Advisory Committee<br />
on Immunization Practices have not expressed a preference for either vaccine.<br />
For more information on the flu vaccine, call 1-888-202-1319.<br />
Franklin County Public Health offers these tips to further<br />
protect you from the flu:<br />
Wash your hands frequently.<br />
Since your hands are the most common way to get germs into your body, you<br />
should scrub vigorously with soap and water for 10-15 seconds to keep them as<br />
germ-free as possible. Wash after using the bathroom, before handling food,<br />
before eating, and any other time you think you might have picked up germs.<br />
Avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth.<br />
You can't keep all the germs off your hands all the time. So, keep your hands<br />
away from germs' most common entryways into the body.<br />
Cover your nose and mouth with your sleeve or tissue when coughing or<br />
sneezing.<br />
Stop the spread your germs to others by coughing or sneezing into your sleeve<br />
instead of your hand or into the air.<br />
Practice other good health habits.<br />
Get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of fluids, eat nutritious foods, manage your<br />
stress, and be physically active.

super sweet girl.<br />
Shingyee is spayed,<br />

Camo is a 1 to 2-<br />
year-old plott hound<br />
mix who came to<br />
Colony Cats and<br />
Dogs from Texas after<br />
the hurricane. She’s<br />
very high energy and<br />
gets along well with<br />
other dogs. Camo is<br />
full of energy and<br />
would love someone who could take her out<br />
for daily walks. Due to her high energy, she<br />
may not do well in a home with small children<br />
or cats.<br />
