STEAK<br />

COMBO!!<br />

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 />

has autism, and her fellow peers have done<br />

a great job learning about her differences<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 />

WATER<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 />

Westland High School students who were<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 />

community retail stores and personal safety concerns.<br />

Senior subsidized housing waiting lists are often long<br />

and homelessness is an increasing problem among<br />

older adults.<br />

with the Franklin County Board of<br />

Commissioners, recognizes the importance of residential<br />

stability and service enriched housing for seniors.<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.

enjoy playing with<br />

toys. Mountain Dude<br />

was born February<br />

2016 and is<br />

neutered, microchipped<br />

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

available for adoption through Colony Cats<br />

and Dogs.<br />

Shingyee means<br />

lucky. She is a 3-<br />

month-old happy,<br />

super sweet girl.<br />

Shingyee is spayed,<br />

microchipped and up<br />

to date on vaccines.<br />

Come meet her at the<br />

Petco Lennox Town<br />

Center where she is<br />

residing temporarily<br />

until a family finds<br />

her. Those interested can also contact Colony<br />

Cats and Dogs.<br />

FYI: www.colonycats.org<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 />

purchased the following<br />

classifieds. Determining<br />

the value of their service<br />

or product is advised by<br />

this publication. In order<br />

to avoid misunderstandings,<br />

some advertisers do<br />

not offer “employment”<br />

but rather supply the<br />

readers with manuals, directories<br />

and other materials<br />

designed to help<br />

their clients establish mail<br />

order selling and other<br />

businesses at home. Under<br />

NO circumstance<br />

should you send any<br />

money in advance or give<br />

the client your checking,<br />

license ID or credit card<br />

numbers. Also beware of<br />

ads that claim to guarantee<br />

loans regardless of<br />

credit and note that if a<br />

credit repair company<br />

does business only over<br />

the phone it’s illegal to request<br />

any money before<br />

delivering its service. All<br />

funds are based in US<br />

dollars. Toll Free numbers<br />

may or may not<br />
