The City Beat

Mosquito management program aims to keep residents safe

By Andrea Cordle

Southwest Editor

It’s officially mosquito season. The

pesky insects are not just annoying, they

present a potential health risk. Mosquitoes

can transmit diseases like West Nile Virus

and encephalitis.

According to Cindy Fitzpatrick, the

director of public service for the city of

Grove City, the city has entered into a contract

with Franklin County Public Health

for mosquito control. The city paid the

county $23,500 this year to trap, count and

test mosquitoes.

According to Franklin County Public

Health, the mosquitoes are collected in

pools of less than 50. So far this year,

Grove City has had one pool test positive.

“We had one in the west region to test

positive for the West Nile Virus,” said

Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick said the county has broken

the city into four quadrants — north, south,

east and west. Where the county finds a

positive test, they spray that area. In 2018,

the city had 48 pools test positive for West

Nile Virus — 20 in the north quadrant, 16 in

the south and 12 in the west.

This year, the county is using a natural

botanical pyrethrin, an insecticide derived

from chrysanthemum flowers. The county

uses the spray in the evening when a high

volume of mosquitoes is found. According

to the county, the spray is safe to be

applied around organic gardens, farms and

crops. However, the county does maintain

a ‘do not spray’ registry of residents who

request the spray not be used around their

property.

Mosquitoes require standing water for

their young to hatch and develop. Once the

eggs are laid, the insects can hatch and

emerge from the water as adults in one

week.

“Mosquitoes tend to stay where they

hatched,” said Fitzpatrick. “So, if you have

mosquitoes around your house, they were

likely born there.”

Eliminating standing water and mosquito

habitats around your home could

help to prevent bites and reduce the risk of

disease. Franklin County Public Health

offers these tips to control the mosquito

population on your property:

• Empty, remove, cover or turn over any

container that has the potential to hold

water.

• Repair leaky pipes and faucets.

• Make sure gutters and downspouts

are free of blockage and are properly draining.

• Change the water in wading pools

weekly and store indoor when not in use.

• Properly dispose of old tires.

• Empty planters that hold water twice

each week.

• Empty bird baths twice weekly.

ers and in the areas outside the fenced-off

“Our community truly appreciates

those who made and continue to make sacrifices

to protect our freedom and country,”

said Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage. “This is

our day to celebrate and give thanks in

their honor.”

All carry-in items are subject to search

by security. Blankets, lawn chairs and

most other personal items are permitted.

The following are prohibited: grills, alcohol,

weapons, personal fireworks including

sparklers, skates, bicycles, skateboards,

pop-up tents and canopies, and pets other

than service dogs. Tailgating with grills is

prohibited, as are flatbed trailers and

recreational vehicles. Coolers are not permitted

in the stadium. Food and beverages

are available for purchase.

• Empty your pet’s watering dishes

daily.

• Use sand to plug holes in trees where

water can collect.

• Drain or fill low areas on your property

that hold water for more than three

days.

• Remind or help neighbors to eliminate

breeding sites in their property.

Fitzpatrick also encourages anyone

going outside around dusk or down to wear

long sleeves, long pants and wear insect

repellent.

The health department sets about 100

traps each week from mid-May through the

end of September.

Opinion Page


Ever since I was a kid spinning 45 rpm

vinyl records on a portable record player

that had a felt covered platter, (Yes, I’m

ancient) I’ve wondered why some pop and

rock songs end by fading out while others

have a definitive ending.

I’m not a musician or a record producer,

so I’m not well versed in the recording

process. But someone does make a conscious

decision on how to end a song, be it

the songwriter or the producer.

A few years ago National Public Radio

researched this topic and reported that it

comes down to a couple of reasons: 1) the

fade out made it easier for radio disc jockeys

to control the end of a song to allow for

commercials, etc.; and 2) some artists feel

the lingering fade out enhances the listening

experience by repeating the song’s chorus

or “hook.”

That being said, which is better, the

fade out or the definitive ending?

I asked an old musician friend of mine,

Matt Wyatt - who played guitar for the Great

Plains and now performs with The 3 Speeds -

which he preferred: the fade out or the definitive

ending.

“My thoughts about fade outs are, does the

band feel stupid repeating a phrase, knowing

it is not gonna be completely heard? Wyatt

said. “I prefer clipped, sudden endings.”

Fade outs can be long or short. They can

trick you sometimes by fading out and then

coming back before fading out again. I’m

looking at you, psychedelic

era Beatles.

Speaking of The

Fab Four, the long

fade out on the

Beatles’ “Hey Jude” works because it is a

mesmerizing chant.

Some short fade outs almost serve as an

abrupt ending, like on Bob Dylan’s “Love

Minus Zero/No Limit,” which is a song I

love. On this song, the fade out is tantalizingly

short making me wish it could at

least go on for a few more seconds.

Some songs that on a recording have a

fade out can sometimes cause a band problems

when performed live. It seems like the

band does not know how to end such a song

in a clean way. So during live performances

they often strum guitars really fast and

end the song with a “chunk” of drums, bass,

and guitar all at once. There are too many

instances of this to name that fit this mold.

Come up with an ending!

A song with good definitive ending is

like coming to the end of a good book. The

sound ties up neatly and satisfyingly, such

as with The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled

Again.” Some endings can be almost jarring,

but fit the song’s attitude such as The

Music Machine’s “Talk, Talk,” which ends

with a bam in a sharp, clipped vocal.

“No matter what you hear on a record,

you’re hearing a structured performance in a

studio that is worked on to get a certain

Are you, like many, trying to shed some pounds?

If so, don’t watch television or drive past any fast

food joints because sabotage is waiting around every

channel and corner!

Try eating responsibly when you are faced with a

grocery bag of burgers or pig trough size dinner plate

filled to the rim with food. Perhaps I should use the

term platter instead of plate because, along with

America’s waistline, the size of our china is growing

along with our appetites.

A new chicken commercial touts the deliciousness of

a bowl with layer upon layer of chicken, gravy, potatoes,

etc. that looks more like a Jackson Pollack menu

mash-up.

When I was a little girl, my parents would drive 10

miles to a BBF–Burger Boy Food-O-Rama–at the

corner of Dering Road and High Street on the south

side of Columbus for a hamburger and fries. It was a

rare occasion and one our small family indulged in, at

the most, once a month.

Back in the 1960s, a normal, adult-size meal consisted

of a hamburger, small bag of fries, and a small

soda–pretty much the same components of what is

now a children’s meal at fast-food restaurants of today.

Funny thing about the 1960s, people were satisfied

with a lot less food.

I do not remember my mother or father feeling like

they needed to eat more than what the simple meal

contained. They did not “Super Size” their order with

more or bigger burgers or slurp down what amounted

to a six-pack of soda in one cup.

One hamburger. One bag of fries. One soda. One

meal.

sound, but at the

same time the band

wants you to feel the

immediacy of the

music,” said Wyatt.

“When a song is ending,

a fade out can

snap you out of

denial because you’re

obviously hearing

someone going away who isn’t really going

away.”

It’s all a musical jumble and anyway

and the songs we like are all so subjective.

Ultimately it is up to each of us to decide

what we like best when listening to our

favorite tunes and no matter how a song

ends, all we need to do is replay it to relive

the experience.

I could end this column with a fade out

or just stop.

Portions can ruin a weight loss plan

Places - By Linda Dillman

When did we turn the corner to mega burgers,

bulging boxes of fries, and pails of soda? Or single

plates at a buffet house filled with enough food to feed

a family of four? How often have you seen people push

themselves away from a table at a buffet, half-eaten

plates still piled with food?

My grandma would have said, “Look at that, what a

waste. Their eyes were bigger than their stomachs.”

Who needs a country fried steak, mashed potatoes,

and green beans all swimming in the same sea of milk

gravy? Why serve a salad with enough greens to feed a

whole rabbit hutch on a plate the size of an old vinyl

record? Is it really necessary to dine on a hamburger

consisting of dual patties, a double dose of cheese, and

topped by multiple slices of bacon followed by a chocolate

shake chaser?

Try going into a restaurant and ordering a normal

size portion. My mother went to a corner eatery the

other day and asked about a salad accented with chicken.

The server admitted the salad size was large

enough for two, but my mother was a single diner and

since it was impractical to ask for a doggie bag for a

salad, half the meal went to waste.

My advice to restaurants, open up the children’s

menu to people older than 12 or the senior menu to

non-seniors (or nearly seniors, like me). Companies

downsize. Why can’t restaurants downsize their portions?

Instead of hiking up the price, cut costs by cutting

portions. Restaurants and diners would both benefit

with less waste and less waist.

The relationship between the Jackson

Chief Richard Butsko and veteran officers

Lt. Doug Olmstead and Lt. Eric

the best chili. Team Butsko went the

more traditional route by creating a

classic meat chili while Team Little took

a more seasonal approach with a white

the best chili to come from Team

Little, giving them a slight advantage at

“Moore Choices”

in Grove City

Grove City Council’s Art Concern presents “Moore Choices,” a

collection of watercolor artwork by the late Ned T. Moore (1928-

2019), on display through Friday, July 19 at City Hall, 4035

After serving as an Army Special Services artist during the

Korean War, Moore worked as art director for several Columbusbased

art and advertising agencies and freelanced as an illustrator/designer.

He spent approximately 27 years as an educator,

where he was a professor of drawing and fine art at The Ohio

State University and Columbus College of Art and Design.

Moore’s work captures every-day life with washes of brilliant

transparent color, pulling the viewer into the moment with fresh

and comforting brushstrokes. His work has been published in a

number of consumer and special interest magazines and exhibited

in national and international shows as part of traveling exhibits

sponsored by the Ford Motor Company.

The exhibit is open to the public weekdays, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30

p.m., or by appointment by calling Tami Kelly, clerk of council at

Downpours make a mess in township

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

On June 19, nearly four and a half inches

of rain fell within an hour in the city of

Grove City. Among the properties impacted

by the rapidly accumulating rainfall that

night was the Jackson Township administrative

building.Several emergency vehicles

within the fire department were also

impacted.

According to Township Administrator

Shane Farnsworth, the administrative

building took in a fair amount of water

through a breach in the front and back

entrances. He said at the June 25 board of

trustees meeting that the water made its

way into a closet, under the podium in the

public meeting room and throughout the

carpeting.

Farnsworth told the trustees they were

unable to contact a carpet cleaning service

at that time, so he used his own water vacuum

to suck up the excess water.

“I think I pulled about 30 gallons of

water out of the carpet,” he said.

Farnsworth added that they used box

fans to dry out the carpeting that was

soaked near the closet and podium, and

also opened all the windows to air out any

mustiness left behind.

“I think we’re going to have to watch out

for that for a while,” he said during the

board’s caucus session.

Beyond the soaked carpeting,

Farnsworth said no further damage was

reported.

According to Assistant Fire Chief


Shawn Quincel, there were three emergency

response vehicles that were impacted

by the rain.

“They were all out on runs and just

came into too much water,” he said, referring

to Engine 203 and 206 and Medic 203.

Engine 206 is used primarily as a backup

vehicle.

Quincel told the trustees that Engine

203 had an electrical issue and is now

fixed, while Engine 206 and Medic 203 are

“in the shop” being evaluated.

Trustee David Burris asked Farnsworth

to contact their insurance agency as the

township could be looking at a large repair

bill.

There was no water damage reported at

any of the fire stations.

Jackson Township will host a blood

drive from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 5 in the

This July in Grove

City Parks

Warm weather and long hours of sunlight make July perfect for exploring

the parks in Grove City and beyond. This is why 34 years ago, the

National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA) chose July to celebrate

National Park and Recreation Month. With 21 parks encompassing more

than 320 acres and miles of multi-use paths, Grove City offers many opportunities

to play outside: attend a special event, take a bike ride, cool off at

the splash pad or just enjoy a day in a park!

One way children enjoy parks that never goes out of style is on playgrounds.

Grove City features 19 playgrounds of various sizes and themes

including the award-winning, inclusive Dream Field Playground in Windsor

Park and new equipment at Westgrove and Pinnacle parks.

The most popular playground destination in Grove City for generations

is Gantz Park. Last March, work began on a new playground that ensures

children of all abilities can carry on this tradition. Don’t miss the grand

opening of the new inclusive, nature-themed Gantz Park Playground at 6

p.m., Friday, July 5. Stay to officially kick off Parks and Recreation Month:

explore the Gardens, Farmhouse and Barn then enjoy a concert by the

Central Ohio Brass Band in the gazebo at 7 p.m.

In Entertainment

Chucky is back with more

gore and more ridiculousness

It was choose a toy at the theaters this

weekend. The first and more wholesome

option was “Toy Story,” the fourth installment

of a beloved animated franchise that

has garnered the reputation for making

even the most jaded of adults weep like

newborns. The second and less familyfriendly

option was “Child’s Play,” a reboot

of a beloved slasher that features a murderous

doll who has garnered the reputation

for making even the most jaded adults

weep like newborns. While both were worthy

options for a variety of reasons, I was

only in the mood for one.

“Child’s Play” is not an exact replica of

the original hit from 1988, so points are in

order for base creativity. Though both

share the same ridiculous premise (or is

it?) of a doll coming to life and murdering

people, the latest version focuses more on

the dangers of dependence on technology

and less on the transference of one’s

wicked soul into an inanimate object

meant for children. Whether the latter is a

deal-breaker is entirely up to you.

The film opens with low wage workers

in an overseas manufacturing plant meticulously

crafting the perfect technological

doll for consumers around the world. The

Buddi doll, as it is called, is promised to

provide a “life-long” companion for children,

helping them grow and thrive

through a supportive relationship where

they are their eyes and ears. Additional

features include babysitting duties for

overworked parents, connectively with

other Kaslan Industries products so the

Buddi doll can order Kaslan rides and find

programming on the Kaslan TV’s, and, of

course, staring at you as you walk across

the room. (Seriously, their eyes follow you

everywhere! I don’t know how doll collectors

do it.)

Though it is clear not every worker is

thrilled with the product they are creating,

or the job they have, they do it day in and

day out for consumer needs. But one

evening, a worker is caught daydreaming

and is promptly fired for envisioning a better

job somewhere else. Before he can pack

up his meager belongings, he is ordered to

finish up his Buddi doll, and finish up he

does. In an act of disobedience, he strips

the Buddi doll of all of its safety features,

including one that removes the anti-violence

protocol.

Naturally, this doll is shipped to the

states where it falls into the hands of a consumer

who purchased it for her child.

Luckily for this family, she was able to

return it due to its “occasional glowing red

eyes” but it is soon picked up by singlemother

Karen Barclay (Aubrey Plaza) who

gives it to her 13-year-old son Andy

(Gabriel Bateman) as a joke/early birthday

present.

The Reel Deal

Dedra Cordle

At first, Andy is

creeped out by the

waxen doll with the

voluminous orbs

and slicked hair, but

he quickly finds a

real friend in Buddi,

now Chucky (voiced

wonderfully by Mark Hamill). As they get

to know each other, Andy begins to suspect

that something is amiss when Chucky gets

possessive of his time spent with human

friends. Then things get weirder, more

dangerous and ultimately deadlier from

then on out.

One could say “Child’s Play” is just

another unnecessary reboot of a beloved

property from an industry out of ideas and

they would be right. But this film is also an

interesting satirical piece about our willingness

to accept advanced technology into

our lives for the sake of convenience and

comfort. Unfortunately, it doesn’t keep

with that thread throughout as it has to

make room for the more gruesome elements

of its predecessor and the overall

film really does suffer because of that.

I have to be completely honest and say I

thought this film was going to be complete

crap. The trailers looked dumb, Chucky

looked even more off than he normally

does, and it just didn’t hit any good note at

all. But when I saw it, I was surprised at

how much I was enjoying it. It has some

dark humor, it pokes fun at itself, it has an

interesting take on tech and I laughed with

it just as much as I laughed at it. I know

this film is not going to be for everyone, but

it’s a decent time if you’re looking for quality

ridiculousness. Grade: B-

SUMMER

AUTO DEALS

This Week’s Features

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

Like many children his age, Preston

Miller loves computer and video games. He

said he has learned many skills while playing

on these mediums and has even decided

that he wants to make a career out of it.

“I plan to be a YouTube video game creator,”

said the fourth grade student at

Finland Elementary School.

Knowing that he needed to hone the

skills required to be a game creator, Miller

was excited to learn that he would have the

opportunity to do so at his school. The only

problem was that it would take place in the

summer.

“I love summer break but I really wanted

to do this,” he said.

On June 17 at roughly 8:30 a.m., Miller

found himself back in school for an all-day,

week-long programming class called Techie

Camp, which was made possible for students

at Finland Elementary and Franklin

Woods Intermediate through a grant from

Battelle and Tech Corps.

“Techie Camp is a hands-on program

that teaches young children the basics of

programming,” said Tech Corps instructor

Will Sierzputowski. “For this week, along

with the one that was held last week (June

10 -14 at Franklin Woods), they are learning

how to make an app but with the stipulation

that they make something that

benefits others.”

When the stipulation was announced

the first day of class, Sierzputowski said

there were a lot of blank stares.

“I don’t know if it was because it is the

summer and they’re in summer mode or if

they thought they would be making cool

apps right away,” said the junior at Ohio

Northern University with a laugh. “Some

later told me they thought they would be

doing something that would make them a

lot of money so I think it might have been

the second option.”

But with some prodding, the group of 22

budding creators brainstormed ways apps

can help people, watched design and programming

tutorials, and started putting

their ideas to code.

“I am so impressed by what they came

up with,” said Tech Corps instructor Anna

Dake. “There has been a lot of variety with

these groups.”

Heidelberg honors

Eric DeVore and Cedric Ebbeler of Grove City were named to

the dean’s list at Heidelberg University for the spring semester.

Messenger photo by Dedra Cordle

Anna Dake, a volunteer with Tech Corps, works with Finland Elementary School students

Hannah West and Sophia Tope during the final work day of a week-long Techie

Camp on June 20. More than 35 children at Finland and Franklin Woods Intermediate

participated in the camp that taught them programming skills to create their own apps.

West and Tope made an app for parents that tells them the exact moment their children’s

punishment time is up.

Olivia Reynolds, 10, she designed an

app that helps people remember recipes.

“If people forget, they can just pull it up

and have the instructions right there,” said

the Franklin Woods Intermediate student.

Hector Flores co-created an app for parents

to tell them the appropriate age for

their children to do chores.

“I mow the grass and I’m not sure I

should be made to do it at my age,” said the

fourth grader.

Hannah West and Sophia Tope created

an “ungrounding app” that counts down

the exact time they are out of punishment.

“Parents are always trying to tell you

that you have more time in punishment,”

said West.

“This app will show them that it is not

true because the countdown tells them the

time is up,” added Tope.

Miller, the future game creator, programmed

an app that allows people to find

games on Roblox, a popular game creation

system platform.

“It breaks it up by skill level too,” he

said. “If they’re a beginner and want to

play a game where they find eggs, the app

shows them where to find it for beginning

level players.”

names in the news

Other app creations include Fortnight

quizzes, algebra flashcards, origami

instructions, sports point trackers, and a

once-a-day reminder to do something nice

for someone else.

While the students said there was some

difficulties learning how to program, they

were given great instruction and plan to

continue making apps well into the future.

“It was a struggle sometimes but I had a

lot of fun learning how to do this,” said

Reynolds. “Eventually I would like to put

something on the app store but I need to

work on a few more things first before I can

reach that level.”

The Techie Camp that was held at

Finland Elementary and Franklin Woods

Intermediate marked the first time the

popular camp was held in the South-

Western City Schools District. It was

brought to the school, in addition to the

grant, due to the efforts of Kira Shade-Ray,

the Finland Elementary site coordinator

for Communities in Schools, and Helen

Cosner, a gifted intervention specialist

with the district. Shade-Ray said that

while coding clubs are growing in popularity

at the schools, they would love to host

Techie Camp again next summer.
