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 />

nothing more on his mind “except making<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 />

PRAIRIE<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 />

In Entertainment<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 />
