Ohio history
on display
By Andrea Cordle
Southwest Editor
Throughout the year the Grove City
Welcome Center and Museum will spotlight
Ohio history.
Through the month of March, visitors
can stop by the museum to learn about
Simon Kenton, a frontiersman in Ohio
and surrounding states. On display is a
large fiberglass bronze statue of Kenton,
sculpted by Mike Major of Urbana, Ohio.
Major’s piece is based on the original by
American Sculptor John Quincy Adams
Ward.
“I made this in the late 90s after the
smaller sculpture by JQA,” said Major.
Major was contacted about an installation
of artwork in the Grove City Library.
He thought his large sized Simon Kenton
sculpture would be a good fit, but it was
too big for the library. It is now on display
at the Grove City Welcome Center and
Museum.
The sculpture shows Kenton with a
hound dog. According to Major, Kenton
was not known to have a dog, but JQA
Ward thought the piece needed something
extra.
“People love that dog,” said Major.
“This was a case of the artist adding a
point of interest.”
The dog’s name is Shadow.
According to Don Ivers, curator of the
welcome center and museum, Kenton had
a remarkable life. He served in the
Revolution and Northwest Indian War as
well as the War of 1812. He was a friend
of Daniel Boone.
“He saved Boone’s life,” said Ivers.
According to the Ohio History
Connection, Kenton was born in 1755 in
Virginia. After a fight at the age of 16,
Kenton believing he killed a man, fled to
Ohio. After being involved in several conflicts,
Kenton settled in Urbana. He later

Simon Kenton. This statue is on display as part of the Ohio History exhibit.
moved to Zanesfield, Ohio where he died
and was buried in 1836. In 1895, his
remains were moved to Urbana.
Simon Kenton is the namesake of
Kenton, the county seat of Hardin
County. Schools in Springfield and Xenia
are named in his honor. There is also a
Simon Kenton Trail between Springfield
and Bellefontaine.
Along with the Ohio history exhibit
featuring Kenton, is Indian artifacts.
Ivers said the spear heads and hand tools
have been donated to the museum.
The welcome center and museum also
has a fashion exhibit on display through
April. According to Ivers, the oldest piece
of clothing in the exhibit is a coat from
1865, with wooden buttons. There is also
a coat made of black bear fur. The items
on exhibit were donated by local residents.
The Grove City Welcome Center and
Museum is located at 3378 Park Street. It
is open Monday through Friday from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. with extended hours on
Tuesdays. For more information, go to

By Andrea Cordle
Southwest Editor

206 acres that would be divided into nine
subareas. Most of the subareas would contain
single-family homes with a maximum
of 415 dwellings. One subarea would contain
multi-family homes with a maximum
of 120 units permitted.
The subarea that features the multifamily
homes was the problem for some
council members.
According to the Grove City 2050 plan,
a development guide for future planning,
the area in question calls for low density
housing. Multi-family homes can include
apartments, which is labeled high density
housing.
“Apartments are included in this plan,”
said councilman Ted Berry. “No place in
Grove City 2050 does it say apartments.”
Berry said apartments do not fit that
area.
“Why would you build apartments away
from any type of retail,” asked Berry.
Councilman Steven Robinette said the
development area has a rural flavor.
“This plan seems to be going away from
that,” said Robinette.
Councilwoman Christine Houk said
multi-family homes mean more of a burden
for the local school system.
“This is a huge issue for me,” said Houk.
The development plan does include an
area where a school could be constructed.
However, council members believe there
are too many unanswered questions.
“It could be 10 years before that school

is built,” said Robinette. “We don’t know
what the demand will be in a decade.”
According to City Administrator Chuck
Boso, the developer would sell the property
to the city or the South-Western City
Schools District to build another elementary
school. The plan secures that site and
gives the city a purchase option.
Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage
assured council that he has met with officials
from the school district and they are
on board with the plan.
Earlier this month, citizens were asked
to attend a town hall meeting about this
large, multi-year development plan. City
officials were on hand, as were officials
from the South-Western City Schools
District and the Ohio Department of
Transportation.
“I think we got through a lot of issues,”
said Wisniewski.
The developer said the proposal offers a
range of housing options and includes
approximately three miles of trails and
open space.
In response to some of the residential
traffic concerns, the developer has agreed
to contribute $150,000 to a traffic signal at
Hawthorne Parkway if it is deemed necessary.
Traffic studies indicate that a traffic
signal is not needed at this time.
The legislation on the Farmstead property
was postpone until the March 4 council
meeting. The meeting will take place at
7 p.m. in City Hall, 4035 Broadway.

Government Focus
Urbancrest lays out in case of emergency plan
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
New safety measures could soon be
enacted in the village of Urbancrest.
At its Feb. 12 regular meeting, village
council discussed the first reading of legislation
that would establish an emergency
preparedness plan as well as the purchase
of a speed capturing sign.
Members of the health and safety committee
presented the first draft of the emergency
preparedness plan in December but
have since made modifications to the proposal.
“They have been modest changes, mostly
having to do with wording,” said councilwoman
Alicia Wiggins.
One of the changes, she said to the council,
had to do with assembling a response
team. She wanted to make it clear that the
response to an emergency, whether it be a
natural disaster or man-made, should be a
team effort rather than solely up to one
individual.
“We have to have multiple people
engaged,” she said.
She included the administration, council
and trained residents among her examples
of team engagement.
In the draft, the health and safety committee
has recommended that residents
volunteer to participate in Franklin
County’s Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT). She said this free program,
which takes place once a week for several
months, trains residents in basis disaster
response skills such as fire safety, light
search and rescue, team organization and
disaster medical operations.
Wiggins said she knows taking part of
the training program might be time consuming
but feels it would be beneficial for
residents to know how to assist in the event
of an emergency.
“It’s something we all need to know,” she
said.
Also discussed was the importance of
setting up social media accounts.
“Our social media presence is no longer
an option but a necessity,” said Wiggins.
She said the village needs to have an
updated website and set up a Facebook
page as well as a Twitter account.
Mayor Joseph Barnes Sr. asked if there
should be a focus on one of those platforms
rather than multiple platforms but
Wiggins said they should utilize all of
them.
“We can use them to get the word out
fast, but Twitter is word limited,” she said.
She went on to say that with Facebook,
they can fully explain what is going on and
active Facebook Live to give residents a
real-time look at current conditions and
warnings.
Barnes said he felt it was important to
reach out to the local television and radio
networks as well.
He added that he liked what was featured
in the draft so far but would like to
see more engagement with local churches
and businesses.
“I think we need to hold meetings with
leaders of our churches and the YMCA,” he
said.
He said they have to get a feel for how
these locations could be used in case residents
need to shower, charge their phones
and other electronic devises or just need a
place to sleep. Barnes also said they should
reach out to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank in the
event that residents need access to food.
Wiggins said the members of the health
and safety committee wanted the emergency
preparedness plan to be a living document
where modifications can be made as
needed.
Council also discussed the purchase of
one speed capturing sign. According to
Wiggins, they would purchase the sign,
which has the capabilities of capturing and
storing data, from Radarsign, LLC at a cost
of $4,570.
There was some debate as to where it
would be located but Wiggins said one of
the best things about this particular sign is
that it can be moved to different locations
throughout the village.
Resident Erika Dobbins-Chatman said
she liked the idea of speed signs as vehicles
often “fly down the street” but wanted to
know if speed bumps could be installed as
well.
Wiggins said they had discussed
installing speed bumps throughout the village
but ultimately decided against it due
to the potential damage to village road
equipment, mainly their snow plows. She
added that the idea, as well as others, are
not off the table for future use.
“I can’t imagine that we cannot come up
with something to help solve the problem,”
she said.

In Education
Repairs and replacements needed at South-Western schools
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
The condition of the windows and entry doors at one
building in the South-Western City Schools District
prompted the board of education to approve a replacement
bid by urgent necessity at the Feb. 11 meeting.

Pick-up and Delivery
“We have the lowest price in town!”
According to Mark Waller, the coordinator of property
services and construction projects, the action was taken
due to the rejection of two bids to replace the doors and
windows at East Franklin Elementary School.
“We received two bids for this project and both of them
exceeded the architect’s estimated cost by 10 percent,”
Waller said. “That excess is an automatic rejection.”
Due to the nature of this project, Waller said it
was imperative that the board not enter into another
bidding process.
“It’s a lengthy process and sometimes it can take
between four and six months for windows to be
delivered,” he said. “We want to get these items
ordered and installed before the start of the new
school year.”
Waller said there is no danger posed to the students
and staff due to the condition of the windows
and doors but there is a need for safety upgrades.
“Some of those doors and windows are originals
from the school, which I think was built in the
1960s,” he said. “They have received a lot of wear and tear
through the years and it is time they are replaced and
brought up to current day safety standards.”
With the urgent necessity approval, the board entered
into a contract with Summit Construction to replace the
windows and entry doors at East Franklin Elementary at
a cost of $422,000. Waller estimates the work will begin
around June 3 and will be completed before the start of the
2019/20 school year.
The board of education also approved a bid to the JB
Roofing Company, A Tecta America Company, to partially
replace the roof at Central Crossing High School. The cost
of the project, which will replace several “low-slope” sections
of the main building, is $217,770.
Last month, the board approved a complete roof
replacement at East Franklin Elementary and Grove City
and Westland high schools at a cost of $5.3 million. Waller
said the work on each of those projects is slated to begin on
June 3 and be completed in time for the start of the new
school year.

Supporting the Pink Ribbon Girls
Before sporting events, these students at Grove City High School traditionally wear crimson and blue to
show off their spirit. But that tradition changed on Feb. 8 when they sported pink hues to show off their
spirit for another cause. Organized by junior Mary Gilbert, shown second from the left in the second row,
the student section donned the lighter colors to support the Pink Ribbon Girls, a local non-profit that provides
free meals, housecleaning, rides to treatment and peer support for individuals with breast or gynecological
cancers. Gilbert said half of the proceeds at the door, and half from ribbon and food sales, will
go directly to the organization. For more information about the Pink Ribbon Girls, visit their website at

Pavement repairs
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
Two stations within the Jackson Township Fire Department
are slated to receive surface upgrades.
At the Feb. 19 trustee’s meeting, the board approved a resolution
to advertise for bids for pavement and concrete replacement
at Stations 201 and 202.
The conditions of the lots, said service director Rex Blair, are
porous and in desperate need of repair.
“They’re in pretty bad shape right now,” he said.
The work at Station 201, which is located on Grove City Road,
calls for the replacement of concrete in the front of the building
and the resurfacing and repair to the parking lot area. The work
at Station 202, which is located on Hoover Road, calls for the
replacement of concrete at the rear of the building and the resurfacing
and repair to the parking lot area.
The estimated cost for the work at Station 201 is $60,000 while
the cost for the work at Station 202 has a rough estimate of
$165,000. Blair said the high cost is partially due to the concrete
work as the concrete has to be at least 8 to 10 inches thick to withstand
the weight of the fire equipment.
According to Township Administrator Shane Farnsworth, the
timeline for the review and acceptance of bids will be within the
next two months. If all goes as planned and one of the bids are
accepted, Blair said he would like the work to start in mid-October
before the weather conditions turn unfavorable. He added that it
would take at least four to six weeks to complete each project.
The township administration building on Hoover Road will also
receive resurfacing to its parking lot. The resolution to start the
work, as well as the funding, was approved last year but
inclement weather caused multiple delays. Farnsworth said that
project is slated to take place after the spring clean-up on May 4.

Pets of the week
Mamas is such a
sweet heart. She is so
wiggly and adorable.
This 7-year-old pit
bull mix loves attention
and is very
social. She loves
everyone she meets.
She enjoys exploring
and walking, and
can’t wait to adventure with you. She would
need to be the only female dog in the home
but she would do well with a male dog where
she can be the boss. She loves to cuddle with
her human friends. Adopt Mamas from the
Franklin County Dog Shelter.
FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com
Marcus is a wiggler.
He is a bouncy,
happy guy who is
excited about everything.
This 2-year-old
pit bull mix would love
a family with the time
and patience to help
him learn his basic
manners and commands.
He can’t wait to find his forever home
so he can run and play all day with his new
favorite people. He likes to play with other
dogs, but is a little overwhelming for some. He
needs to meet any potential furry friends
before adoption. Marcus does have some
medical issues that need addressed so a person
or family with an established vet is recommended.
Meet him at the Franklin County Dog
Shelter.
FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com
Gracie is a beautiful young lady who is looking for her forever home.
She is a bit shy at first and will take some time to warm up, so she’ll
need lots of patience and love. Gracie loves having her belly rubbed
and she loves to snuggle. She would make a fantastic addition to any
family. Gracie is up for adoption through Friends for Life Animal Haven.
FYI: www.fflah.org
www.columbusmessenger.com
These furry friends are available
for adoption at local
rescues and shelters
Maude is being
retired and is looking
for a new home. She
is a 26-year-old
Percheron mare who
worked closely with
the public for 23
years. She is comfortable
pulling farm
machinery and still actively works. However,
as her age has increased, the days when she
is able to pull a plow all day have passed. She
is a steady, reliable horse and could easily
pull a small wagon or do light farm chores.
Adopt Maude through Friends for Life Animal
Haven.
FYI: www.fflah.org

“Isn’t it Romantic”
is charming and cute
The Reel Deal - By Dedra Cordle
I was afraid that “Isn’t it Romantic” would be like “I Feel
Pretty,” a movie about a beautiful woman who has no confidence
and only gains said confidence through trauma to the brain. Then,
along the way, her dream man falls in love with her and she
miraculously recovers from her brain trauma and believes his love
was fake since those ugly clouds of self-doubt have suddenly
resurfaced.
I think it is safe to say that we, the general public who often
goes to see female-led comedies and romantic comedies, are tired
of these tropes. You can address the lack of confidence in a person
without being bonked in the head and discovering their self-worth
in the aftermath. But I digress because “Isn’t it Romantic” is not
like that at all. Yes, it does have transformative brain trauma and
it does deal with a lack of self-confidence but it does so in a sly,
meta way. This is a movie within a movie within a parody movie.
It pokes fun at common, and sometimes dangerous, tropes in
female-led comedies and romantic comedies while being both
comedic and somewhat romantic.
It begins with the introduction of Natalie (Alexandra Kis), a
young Australian girl who loves romantic comedies. While watching
“Pretty Woman,” her mother (a delightful and underutilized
Jennifer Saunders) catches that dreamy look in her eyes and cynically
tells her that love doesn’t happen for people who look like
them and that everything she has been told about love is a lie. It’s
played for laughs, and it gets them, but you can see that message
sink in through the young girl’s brain as she furrows her brow
throughout the rest of “Pretty Woman.”
It then flashes forward 25 years to where an adult Natalie
(Rebel Wilson) is an architect living in New York City. But this
New York City is not like the idealized versions, neither is
Natalie’s life. Though she has a great job, she lives in a cramped
apartment with a limited wardrobe and a dog who doesn’t listen
to her. Meanwhile, at her workplace, the office is equally as
cramped and unflatteringly lit and she has coworkers that don’t
listen to her either. After losing the courage to speak up at a pitch
meeting, she spies her assistant Whitney (Betty Gilpin) watching
a romantic comedy and unleashes a tangent about the harmful
tropes of that genre. That scene, of course, is shown via montage.
At the end of the day, on her way back home to the dog that
doesn’t listen to her, she meets a seemingly pleasant fellow who
shows interest in her. She is not surprised when he turns out to
only want her purse and is knocked unconscious during the ensuing
subway fight. When she wakes, her life has been changed: the
city is clean and the shops are filled with love themes, her apartment
has been transformed into a luxurious abode, her dog has
begun to listen to her and she has a new best friend (Brandon
Scott Jones) on demand. To confuse her even more, she draws the
attention of Blake (Liam Hemsworth), the obnoxious billionaire
who dismissed her presence in the pitch meeting, who is now
smitten with this “beguiling creature.” Fearing that she will be
trapped in this horrible romantic comedy nightmare forever, she
tries to follow the stereotypes laid out in romantic comedies of
yore but finds that it is easier said than done.
“Isn’t it Romantic” is and isn’t the traditional romantic comedy.
It follows in the same beats as previous ones (the better ones, that
is) while scolding tropes without being overly mean or cynical
about it. You get the sense that the people involved in this film —
from the actors to the writers and even the director — love romantic
comedies but are able to acknowledge how harmful and unrealistic
their messaging can be.
I wasn’t expecting much from “Isn’t it Romantic” but I came
away from this film utterly charmed by the characters, its actors
and even the message. It’s not a must-see at the theaters, but it’s
a good watch for those looking for something cute, funny and simple.

Academy Awards are sure to be hot mess this year
The ceremony for the 91st annual
Academy Awards has yet to take place but
the fact remains that this is nothing short
of a hot mess already. The drama surrounding
the event began last summer
when the governing body of the academic of
motion picture arts and sciences decided to
add an “Outstanding Achievement in
Popular Film” category to the broadcast
this year. This change, explained the
board, was to honor those films that would
have otherwise been ignored by its snootiest
members (paraphrased) and invite a
new audience to its dwindling televised
audience (paraphrased). In the end, the
board cancelled its plans and it remains to
be seen whether this category will be featured
in future telecasts.
Shortly after this debacle, the Kevin
Hart debacle began and then came the
decision to do away with hosts.
Then, just the other week, the board
announced four categories — cinematography,
film editing, live action short and
makeup and hairstyling — would be presented
during commercial breaks to save
time. After a celebrity-filled outpouring of
anger, the four categories are now back to
being televised.
It’s common for some drama to take
place at the actual ceremony but the
behind the scenes drama this year has and
will put everything else to shame. I had
debated on whether to watch the telecast
as I am not terribly impressed by the nominated
films, but I am now compelled to see
if the mess spills over on live television. So,
whether you join me in watching a possible
train wreck or not, here are some of my
predictions for the major categories — all of
which will definitely be televised.
Best Supporting Actress
Amy Adams (Vice)
Marina de Tavira (Roma)
Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk
Emma Stone (The Favourite)
Rachel Weisz (The Favourite)
Prediction: Regina King is a presumptive
front-runner for her portrayal as a
mother intent on proving the innocence of
her daughter’s incarcerated love in “If
Beale Street Could Talk.” The one thing
that gives me pause, however, is the fact
that she was not nominated for a Screen
Actors Guild award and actors make up a
majority of the voting academy. Hot on the
veteran actor’s heels is Rachel Weisz for
her role as Queen Anne’s childhood friend
and secret lover in “The Favourite.”
Though Weisz is trending upward, I predict
King is going to take home the gold.
Best Supporting Actor
Mahershala Ali (Green Book)
Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman)
Sam Elliott (A Star is Born)
Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever
The Reel Deal - By Dedra Cordle
Forgive Me?)
Sam Rockwell (Vice)
Prediction: Like the previous category,
Mahershala Ali is the presumptive frontrunner
for his role as pianist Don Shirley
in Green Book but unlike that category no
other nominees are hot on his heels. Ali is
going to receive his second supporting actor
Oscar in three years.
Best Actress
Yalitza Aparicio (Roma)
Glenn Close (The Wife)
Olivia Coleman (The Favourite)
Lady Gaga (A Star is Born)
Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever
Forgive Me?)
Prediction: This category is intriguing
for many reasons. Yalitza Aparicio is the
first indigenous woman to be nominated for
Best Actress, personal favorite Melissa
McCarthy delivered a nuanced performance
as talented writer and famed forger
Lee Israel, and Olivia Coleman, Lady Gaga
and Glenn Close have all battled it out at
various award shows. But I think the recipient
this year will be Close for her portrayal
as the supportive wife of a famed author
who has some hidden secrets.
Best Actor
Christian Bale (Vice)
Bradley Cooper (A Star is Born)
Willem Dafoe (At Eternity’s Gate)
www.columbusmessenger.com
Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody)
Viggo Mortensen (Green Book)
Prediction: This category is a little
unpredictable. It is going to be between
Christian Bale for his performance as former
Vice President Dick Cheney and Rami
Malek for his struggle with prosthetic teeth
while portraying Queen front man Freddie
Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I think
Malek is going to take home the statue but
put those fake teeth on his mantle instead.
Best Picture
BlacKkKlansman
Black Panther
Bohemian Rhapsody
The Favourite
Green Book
Roma
A Star is Born
Vice
Prediction: In my opinion, it’s between
“The Favourite,” “Green Book” and “Roma”
for the top prize and the academy is going
to go the safest route and choose the working
class drama “Roma” despite it being a
“Netflix film.”
The 91st annual Academy Awards ceremony
will be televised Feb. 24 on ABC
starting at 8 p.m. As they say on decorative
pillows and throws ‘Bless this Mess.’

The National Trade Association
we belong to has
purchased the following
classifieds. Determining
the value of their service
or product is advised by
this publication. In order
to avoid misunderstandings,
some advertisers do
not offer “employment”
but rather supply the
readers with manuals, directories
and other materials
designed to help
their clients establish mail
order selling and other
businesses at home. Under
NO circumstance
should you send any
money in advance or give
the client your checking,
license ID or credit card
numbers. Also beware of
ads that claim to guarantee
loans regardless of
credit and note that if a
credit repair company
does business only over
the phone it’s illegal to request
any money before
delivering its service. All
funds are based in US
dollars. Toll Free numbers
may or may not
reach Canada. Please

you are seeking to
