CML to expand<br />
Hilltop Library<br />
By Andrea Cordle<br />
<strong>Westside</strong> Editor<br />
Officials at the Columbus Metropolitan<br />
Library (CML) want to grow and adapt<br />
with the constantly changing community.<br />
In order to do so, the library has<br />
announced plans to renovate and expand<br />
the Hilltop Library.<br />
The Hilltop Library, located at 511 S.<br />
Hague Ave., was constructed in 1996 and<br />
has 20,000 square feet of space. The renovation<br />
and expansion project is expected to<br />
add an additional 10,000 to 12,000 square<br />
feet of space. The board of trustees for<br />
CML selected Gresham Smith as the<br />
architect for the project.<br />
According to Ben Zenitsky, marketing<br />
and communications specialist for CML,<br />
the most popular programs at the Hilltop<br />
Library would receive a boost with this<br />
expansion project.<br />
“We are going to enhance the offerings<br />
around young minds,” said Zenitsky. “This<br />
means more space and programs for children<br />
and teens.”<br />
One of the most popular programs at<br />
the Hilltop branch is the Homework Help<br />
Program. The library offers after-school<br />
homework help at all its branches. It helps<br />
students succeed in school by offering staff<br />
and volunteer assistance, spaces to study<br />
or learn, computers and printers, school<br />
supplies and resource books.<br />
“Homework Help is big at the Hilltop<br />
Library and it will get a boost,” said<br />
Zenitsky.<br />
In addition to an enhanced area for children,<br />
the expansion would provide more<br />
meeting room space, designated quiet<br />
areas and more public computers.<br />
The estimated cost of the Hilltop<br />
Library renovation and expansion project<br />
is $11.5 million, according to Zenitsky.<br />
That is part of a $77 million CML project<br />
to renovate or rebuild its aging or outgrown<br />
facilities. CML is funding the projects<br />
through operational savings,<br />
fundraising and the sale of bonds.<br />
The library system is completing its<br />
first phase of a building program, which<br />
renovated or rebuilt 10 of its 23 libraries.<br />
The Hilltop Library project is included in<br />
the second phase of CML projects.<br />
In a press release, the library gave this<br />
statement. “CML understands that great<br />

“Rumors” at Ready<br />
Bishop Ready Theatre Department’s<br />
winter production is Neil Simon’s<br />
“Rumors,” a play described as producing<br />
a “severe attack of Farce.”<br />
One of Simon’s most celebrated comedies,<br />
the subject is a dinner party gone<br />
awry and Simon himself said he had<br />
nothing more on his mind “except making<br />
the audience laugh.”<br />
The play takes place at a townhouse<br />
where the participants have gathered for<br />
a <strong>10th</strong> anniversary celebration. The<br />

City gives aid to recovery club<br />
<strong>February</strong> 10, <strong>2019</strong> - WESTSIDE MESSENGER - PAGE 3<br />
By Josh Jordan<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Aid is coming from the city of Columbus<br />
for a pillar of addiction services in the<br />
Hilltop.<br />
The Desert Island Club is an addiction<br />
recovery center located in the Hilltop that<br />
holds addiction meetings seven days per<br />
week and serves about 30,000 people per<br />
year.<br />
Leaders from the Desert Island Club<br />
approached councilman Michael Stinziano<br />
about funding for the final phase of repairs<br />
from a fire in August 2015.<br />
Following the request for funding,<br />
Stinziano reached out to councilwoman<br />
Priscilla Tyson to help get the social services<br />
organization to move through the correct<br />
channels to apply for funding.<br />
In the end, the Desert Island Club<br />
secured a grant for $35,500 to repair the<br />

plex on Galloway Road,” Peters said. “I<br />
also was interested in the economic development<br />
with Broad Street and the new I-<br />
270 interchange project.”<br />
The former director of economic development<br />
for the city of Streetsboro, Peters is<br />
interested in using those skills to continue<br />
grow the township.<br />
“Once I get settled and complete some of<br />
these projects that are already in progress,<br />
I will start evaluating other opportunities<br />
for economic development in the community,”<br />
Peters said. “I also will look at what<br />
the community needs are and projects that<br />
will meet those needs.”<br />
Currently, the township has several<br />
projects under way. Among these projects<br />
is the Galloway Road Sports Complex. This<br />
111-acre complex will feature baseball<br />
fields, soccer fields, a walking trail, a fishing<br />
pond and a concession’s stand.<br />
“If we have a good growing season, we<br />
anticipate some of the fields will be open<br />
for limited use in late summer <strong>2019</strong>,”<br />
Peters said. “Phase two also is currently<br />
under way, which includes working on<br />
traffic improvements.”<br />
The township is continuing to explore<br />
the idea of creating a community garden<br />
on township-owned property at 161 Cole<br />
Road.<br />
“I have seen a preliminary design of the<br />
proposed facility, but nothing has been<br />
finalized,” Peters said. “We are still evaluating<br />
what the best use is for this property.”<br />
The 20-acre property offers plenty of<br />
space to develop a community garden, but<br />
there is limited parking, as well as water<br />
access issues. One solution for accessing<br />
water could be having a water tank on the<br />
property that gardeners can use to water<br />
the plants.<br />
Organizers have discussed keeping the<br />
roof of their facility near the corner of<br />
Sullivant Avenue and South Wilson Road.<br />
“The Desert Island Club is vital for the<br />
Hilltop,” said Stinziano, former state house<br />
representative of the district which houses<br />
the social services organization. “They<br />
don’t brag about what they do. They have<br />
the Hilltop blue collar mentality.”<br />
The fire, which was the result of a<br />
break-in, caused tens of thousands of dollars<br />
in damage. The last item needing<br />
repair to fully restore the building to its<br />
pre-fire condition is the roof.<br />
“We hope that this grant can help them<br />
focus on helping people instead of worrying<br />
about money,” said Stinziano. “The Desert<br />
Island Club is immensely important. I<br />
don’t know where else westside residents<br />
would go. No other place has that community<br />
trust.”<br />
Any one in need of assistance can call<br />
614-826-0437 or visit the club at 501<br />
Josephine Avenue.<br />
garden small at first and then growing the<br />
garden as more residents become involved.<br />
They also discussed selling plots to residents<br />
and eventually having classes where<br />
they use township plots to teach participants<br />
how to grow their own produce.<br />
The township trustees had discussed<br />
having a community garden at Evergreen<br />
Terrace and Carl Frye Park, but because of<br />
zoning and restrictions in these neighborhoods,<br />
these locations did not work.<br />
At the same property, township leadership<br />
have also discussed creating a dog<br />
park and natural play area. However,<br />
according to Prairie Township Community<br />
Center Director James Gant, the township<br />
would need grants to create these new<br />
recreation locations.<br />
The township also has made progress<br />
with their partners on the I-270 interchange<br />
project related to the maintenance<br />
of the interchange.<br />
“We have made progress in terms of<br />
maintenance on this project and are moving<br />
forward with bidding out this project,”<br />
Peters said. “We are looking forward to<br />
working with Franklin Township,<br />
Franklin County and our other partners.”<br />
The new West Broad Street and I-270<br />
interchange project would improve the<br />
landscaping around the West Broad Street<br />
and I-270 interchange. The project is a collaboration<br />
between Franklin Township,<br />
Prairie Township, Franklin County,<br />
Hollywood Casino, Columbus, Weston<br />
Vision and Haydocy.<br />
The project will include adding landscaping,<br />
LED lighting over the underpass<br />
and sculptures to the interchange. The<br />
annual maintenance of the interchange<br />
will cost between $30,000 and $60,000 a<br />
year and organizers are looking for eight<br />
partners to pay approximately $4,500 to<br />
$7,500 each per year for the next 20 years.

In Education<br />
expand.<br />
At the Jan. 28 board of education meeting,<br />
food services supervisor Lisa Hamrick<br />
announced that the department will soon<br />
be making the transition to the online portal.<br />
“We are very excited about this,” she<br />
told the board.<br />
According to Hamrick, the department<br />
will be adding point of sale capabilities that<br />
will allow parents to have access to account<br />
activities and balances, including those<br />
who request free or reduced breakfast and<br />
lunches.<br />
“Having one system to log onto will really<br />
speed up the process and make it more<br />
efficient,” she said.<br />
Though an emphasis will be placed on<br />
online applications, Hamrick said they will<br />
not do away with paper applications.<br />
“We will still be allow those,” she said.<br />
There will, however, be the elimination<br />
of PayPAMS as the department transitions<br />
to the Infinite Campus.<br />
“We will no longer be using those,” said<br />
Hamrick.<br />
The transition to the Infinite Campus<br />
will come at the beginning of August,<br />
weeks before the start of the <strong>2019</strong>/20 school<br />
year. Hamrick said they didn’t want to<br />
make the switch during a school year that<br />
was already in progress.<br />
The district began using the Infinite<br />
Campus in 2012 as a way to allow parents<br />
access to their children’s academic reports<br />
and class schedules, and to update emergency<br />
contact information through online<br />
tools and applications. It can now also be<br />
used to update medications, health information,<br />
pay school fees and contact teachers.<br />
In related food services news, Hamrick<br />
said more students are eating breakfast<br />
and lunch.<br />
“Our numbers continue to grow for<br />
breakfast and lunch,” she said.<br />
According to Hamrick, more than 6,900<br />
students eat breakfast daily (an average of<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
Infinite Campus to expand in South-Western City Schools<br />
1.2 million per year) and more than 13,500<br />
students each lunch daily (an average of<br />
2.4 million per year).<br />
She credited the food service cooks and<br />
staff for the continued increase in breakfast<br />
and lunch participation.<br />
“I cannot be more proud of our staff,”<br />
Hamrick said. “They work really hard.”<br />
Hamrick also spoke of the pilot café that<br />
was established earlier this year at Grove<br />
City High School.<br />
“I think it is going over really well,” she<br />
said of the ‘Greyhound Ground Café,’ which<br />
serves hot and cold drinks during breaking<br />
and lunch hours.<br />
Board member David Donofrio asked<br />
whether the café would be expanded to<br />
each of the high schools in the coming<br />
years.<br />
“If things go well, we will consider looking<br />
at the other high schools,” she said.<br />
Hamrick added that it was piloted at<br />
Grove City High School because there was<br />
more of a need for it there.<br />
In other news, transportation supervisor<br />
Tim Cox gave an update on the department.<br />
According to Cox, the department is<br />
running smoothly and inspections are in<br />
progress for all of the buses in their fleet.<br />
He also presented a snapshot with the<br />
average number of students, runs, routes<br />
and miles traveled per day. Cox said the<br />
buses transport more than 15,000 students<br />
per day, the fleet averages more than<br />
16,000 miles per day, and there are more<br />
than 180 routes driven per day.<br />
During his report, he also announced<br />
that the First Time Riders event will be<br />
held on Aug. 10 at Central Crossing High<br />
School from 9 a.m. to noon.<br />
“We’re going to make it a one-day event,<br />
so we’ll see how that goes,” he said.<br />

“Free Solo” should climb to your must see list<br />
I remember the moment when word broke that Alex<br />
Honnold had made history by becoming the first individual<br />
to free solo El Capitan, a 3,000 foot high granite<br />
monolith nestled in the famed Yosemite National<br />
Park. I was flipping through the news stations, wondering<br />
what fresh horror this world had to offer, when<br />
the chyron announced this historic event. I did not,<br />
and still do not, know much about big-wall climbing<br />
and those who do it, but I was swept up in this achievement,<br />
cognizant of this feat of human skill and celebrating<br />
in the fact that this person realized a dream<br />
and was alive to share the story.<br />
In the weeks that followed, however, I forgot the<br />
most important detail. I could tell you that someone<br />
recently climbed El Capitan without the use of a rope<br />
or other safety gear but I would have had to rack my<br />
brain to remember the name of the man who did it.<br />
Then came the film that documented his journey.<br />
“Free Solo,” a National Geographic feature which has<br />
only been shown in IMAX, puts you right there with<br />
Honnold as he makes his attempt. It’s frightening,<br />
dazzling, mind-boggling, exhilarating and it makes<br />
sure that you (and I!) will never forget his name again.<br />
It begins by introducing us, the general public, to<br />
Alex Honnold, a 30-something year old who predominately<br />
lives inside of a camper. Since his introduction<br />
to wall and rock climbing as a teen, Honnold has been<br />
travelling the world, honing his Spiderman-like skills<br />
on some of the most challenging granite terrain in the<br />
world — most of them done without the use of safety<br />
equipment.<br />
At first, he tries to explain what attracts him to this<br />
dangerous activity but comes to the realization that he<br />
cannot get others to understand. He is fully aware that<br />
he may die while free soloing, but to him his chances<br />
are no greater than getting in a car and being hit by a<br />
drunk driver.<br />
The dream of free soloing El Capitan, he says, came<br />
to him some time ago. As a famous free soloist, he was<br />
constantly asked about making an attempt during<br />
interviews but was always cagey in his answers. He<br />
said this was done so there was no undue pressure or<br />
expectations put on him but once he got it into his<br />
mind that climbing El Capitan was something he<br />
wanted to do, he went all out to achieve his dream.<br />
For more than three years, Alex and his fellow<br />
expert climbing friends mapped out his path to the top.<br />
He would begin by taking the Freerider route and following<br />
all 33 pitches with special attention being paid<br />
community events<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
Dedra Cordle<br />
to ‘The Boulder Problem,’ which<br />
is considered the most treacherous<br />
part of the route due to its<br />
pencil-thin handholds and slippery<br />
wall that is near completely<br />
vertical. After that was completed,<br />
he would then traverse<br />
another thousand or so feet to<br />
make his way to the Enduro Pitch and its sharp,<br />
exposed corners and sculpt his body to them as he continues<br />
to ascend. After, it is all mind over the prospect<br />
of celebration until he traverses another couple hundred<br />
feet to the top. Or so they desperately hope.<br />
“Free Solo” documents these trial and error runs —<br />
all done with their safety equipment fully in place —<br />
and then takes us into Alex’s mind as he comes home<br />
to write about which moves would work best. It also<br />
shows us the toll his dream takes on his family and<br />
friends, one of which is co-director Jimmy Chin. Like<br />
his fellow climbers and filmmakers, Chin knows the<br />
importance of documenting this attempt but he also<br />
knows he would be on hand to witness the death of his<br />
best friend should a finger or soft sole slip.<br />
Though the outcome of Alex’s free solo attempt is<br />
now known, it doesn’t take away from that sense of<br />
suspense as he makes the decision to attempt El<br />
Capitan. In fact, the film amplifies it through up-close<br />
shots of Alex’s rosin encrusted hands gripping barely<br />
there grooves, the muscles in his legs stretching as he<br />
balances and grips the rock wall, and the bottomless<br />
view of ground below.<br />
“Free Solo” is going to be tough for some people to<br />
get through — the camera sweeps along the landscape<br />
at dizzying heights, the mid-section that lulls with<br />
relationship drama, the lack of understanding of why<br />
he does the things he does — but if you think you can<br />
handle it go see it before it leaves the theater. “Free<br />
Solo” is a terrific documentary offering a glimpse into<br />
the mindset of a thrill-seeking man few will ever want<br />
to emulate, but one that many ought to get to know.<br />
