Westland Library 

now a ‘Safe Place’ 

The Westland Area Library is now a 

designated Safe Place in the central Ohio 

community. The building will display the 

yellow and black Safe Place sign, which 

signifies immediate help and safety for 

youth. 

It is estimated over one million youth 

run away from home each year due to 

abuse, neglect, family conflicts and other 

issues. The Safe Place program is an 

option for young people who feel they have 

nowhere to turn. 

Columbus’ Safe Place initiative, operated 

by Huckleberry House, is part of a 

national network of Safe Place programs in 

37 states and the District of Columbia. 

Nearly 20,000 community businesses and 

organizations nationwide display the Safe 

Place sign, making help readily available 

for youth in need.

Meghann Hall, a second grade teacher at Prairie Lincoln Elementary School, tends to the Lincoln Village Youth and Community 

Garden. The garden, which is located on the grounds at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, was a collaborative effort 

between the church, the school and the community. 

Let’s Get Growing 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

Most students do not want anything to 

do with school during summer break. 

They want to have fun, decompress from 

a long year and do just about anything 

else that does not require being near 

school grounds. Yet there is a group of 

children and adults from Prairie Lincoln 

Elementary who voluntarily spend their 

summer days coming back. 

The desire to return began to take root 

last year when members of the neighboring 

Westminster Presbyterian Church 

proposed a collaboration with the school 

to benefit the greater community. 

“We didn’t have any particular idea in 

mind,” said Jim Benney, a team leader at 

the church. “We just wanted to do something 

together that would serve our local 

community.” 

When educators at the school began to 

brainstorm collaborative concepts, one 

idea that kept popping up was the establishment 

of a garden. 

“We all liked the idea of starting a garden 

because it served a variety of purposes,” 

said second grade teacher Meghann 

Hall. “Not only could we shape lessons 

around the science and nutrition behind a 

garden, but we could also have our kids 

play a vital role in helping to feed others.” 

With Principal Julie Kenney’s blessing, 

the staff went ahead with forming a 

garden task force. However, there was 

one caveat: they had to find another place 

to build the garden. 

“Due to safety reasons, we could not 

have our garden located on the school 

property,” said Hall. 

That’s when the church stepped in. 

“We have a lot of free green space,” 

said Benney. 

With the idea and location locked 

down, the task force reached out to the 

Parent Teacher Association for assistance. 

One member said she knew an 

Eagle Scout, Conner Kennedy, who was 

looking for a project and wanted to build 

the raised beds. Other members said they 

could help raise seedlings. But there was 

another aspect they desperately needed 

help with and that was funding. 

That’s when Eli Green stepped in. 

“Eli was our unsung hero,” said Hall. 

Having graduated from Prairie 

Lincoln Elementary more than two years 

ago, the soon-to-be seventh grader at 

Norton Middle offered his services writing 

a grant for Katie’s Krops, a non-profit 

organization that helps communities

essay, he wrote about having witnessed

informed that they had received a $500 

grant to start their garden. 

In May, Kennedy and his fellow Boy 

Scout troops came to Westminster 

Presbyterian and tore up the land to create 

six beds — one for each grade level to grow 

their own crops, and one for the church to 

grow theirs too. 

With the help of Benney’s childhood 

friend and master gardener Roger 

McArtor, they filled the beds with the most 

growth friendly dirt and then waited for 

the kids to arrive. 

“We brought them all over, grade level 

by grade level, and they were so excited,” 

said Hall. “Most of them had never planted 

a seed before, let alone used a tiny shovel, 

but they were all so thrilled to pitch in.” 

They planted sunflowers, cabbage, lettuce 

and strawberries. They planted tomatoes 

and spinach. They planted herbs like 

basil, thyme and dill. And they even planted 

a few native flowers to attract more 

bees. 

Hall said each of the students at the 

school played some role in creating the garden. 

“It truly has been a school-wide effort,” 

she said. 

As the end of the school year 

approached, several students expressed 

concern about the state of the garden. 

“They were very worried it wouldn’t be 

there when they got back,” said Hall.

SAFE PLACE 

Continued from page 1 

“Our youth often find themselves at our 

local libraries, and adding Westland Area 

Library as a Safe Place site expands 

Huckleberry House’s front porch to keep 

our Columbus youth safe,” said Becky 

Westerfelt, executive director of 

Huckleberry House. 

Michele Lowe, assistant director of 

Westland Area Library, said, “Westland 

Area Library has been a vital part of the 

far westside community for many years, 

and this is another way the library can 

serve the vulnerable, improve lives, and 

help make the community a better place.” 

Huckleberry House is central Ohio’s 

Safe Place agency and has 84 partner sites,

But she promised to come back and take 

care of the garden (she goes twice a week, 

along with fellow educator Ruth Mohr), 

and so did the Boy Scouts, the local Girl 

Scout troops, the church congregation, and 

even Green and his family. 

“We all go there every week,” said Amy 

Green, Eli’s mother. 

In the weeks that followed since the initial 

planting, the crops grew. And grew. 

And grew some more. Thankfully, said 

Hall, insects have been kind to the garden. 

So has the neighboring community. 

“They have been wonderful,” she said. 

“We lack a great irrigation system here but 

they have donated at least five rain barrels 

for us to use.” 

Benney said when they proposed the collaborative 

concept, they had no idea this 

would be the outcome but he believes it 

perfectly encompasses the spirit of the community. 

“This is a community that cares about 

each other,” he said. 

In mid-July, the sign designation the 

garden as the ‘Lincoln Village Youth and 

Community Garden’ will arrive, as will 

those who voluntarily return to take care of 

it. There are many plans to expand the garden, 

but for now they are just looking forward 

to what it can and will do for those in 

the community. 

“It’s a great way to start to make a difference 

in the world,” said Eli Green.

Former NFL player Antoine Harris addresses participants in the football skills camp 

held at Bishop Ready High School on July 13. 

Giving back to the Westside 

By Hannah Poling 

Staff Writer 

Former NFL player Antoine Harris 

wanted to give back to the westside community 

and he did so by hosting a skills 

camp for children at Bishop Ready on July 

13. 

Harris was born and raised on the westside 

of Columbus. He attended Hiltonia, 

went to West Mound, and then went to 

Bishop Ready for high school. After high 

school, Harris went to the university of 

Louisville where he went on a scholarship 

for football but also got a degree in communications. 

He played professional football 

with the Tennessee Titans in 2005 and 

2006. He played with the Atlanta Falcons 

from 2007-2009. Finally, he played for the 

Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 and 2011. He 

played the position of safety and corner 

and was also a special teams captain. 

Harris began holding his free football 

skills camp on the westside in 2009 and 

continued through 2011. However, playing 

professional football and raising a family 

elsewhere in the United States, Harris had 

to cut the camp for a while. 

“When I lived in Atlanta, it was hard for 

me to get back when my kids were 

younger, so I took a break from having the 

camp for a while,” said Harris. “Now, my 

kids are older, and we travel a lot, so I felt 

like it was time to start doing the camp 

again.” 

More than 100 kids in grades K-8 preregistered 

for the camp this year and 

approximately 40 walk-ins were anticipated. 

According to Harris, he wants to continue 

holding this camp annually. Currently 

the camp is a one-day event however, 

Harris wants to see it grow. 

“Ideally I would like to do this every single 

year and I would like to make it into a 

bigger thing after this year,” Harris said. 

Harris said that the purpose of the 

camp is to give back to his hometown and 

pass along his football knowledge to kids 

interested in the sport. 

“For me, it is a way to bring the westside 

together,” said Harris. 

In order to make this camp a success, 

Harris partnered with Jerome Buckner, 

president of the West Mound Stars. Harris 

used to play little league along with 

Buckner for the Stars in the late 80s and 

early 90s. The two have been friends since. 

According to Buckner, giving back to the 

community has always been something 

Harris has been passionate about. 

“It was just something that he wanted 

to do. He’s always been someone who wanted 

to give back,” said Buckner. 

This camp was not only intended to 

teach these young students about football 

but also about life and paying it forward. 

“It means a lot because there is nobody 

out here on the westside that’s doing it. 

The west is starving out here, so things 

like this is very beneficial and hopefully we 

can continue to do it and support our community,” 

Buckner said. 

Many of the parents of the participants 

were also impressed with Harris’s commitment 

to donating his time in order to help 

the community. 

“That’s pretty awesome,” said Donald 

Cook. “He is a local guy in a local community 

giving back to everybody in this area 

and to the kids. So, to donate his time is 

very generous of him.” 

Parents and participants were also 

excited to participate in a unique camp this 

summer. 

“This is our first time coming so we are 

just excited for camp. My son’s all about 

football this year so we are just excited to 

be here,” said Emily Morgan.

Columbus police get tools to help save lives 

Sudden cardiac arrest is the third leading 

cause of death in the United States. 

In Columbus, over 600 residents suffer 

from sudden cardiac arrest outside a hospital 

setting each year. That equates to nearly 

two incidents a day. Currently only 12 

percent of these 600 victims recover from 

their sudden cardiac arrest event. 

Speedy response time to a sudden cardiac 

arrest is crucial to the victim’s survival. 

If an Automated External 

Defibrillator (AED) delivers a shock within 

the first three to five minutes after a person’s 

heart stops, the odds of survival are 

60 percent to 70 percent. 

While the Division of Fire EMS has an 

excellent response rate on average of under 

St. James Lutheran Church, 5660 

Trabue Road, Columbus, will host its 36th 

annual Brats and Crafts Festival Aug. 2-4. 

Hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 

9 p.m. Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Sunday. 

eight minutes, the Columbus Division of 

Police often responds more quickly. 

Equipping CPD cruisers with AEDs can 

increase the likelihood that an AED is used 

within the crucial time window that will 

increase chance of survival. 

“Although police response will not 

replace EMS responding and transporting 

the victim to the appropriate healthcare 

facility, increasing our first responders’ 

access to lifesaving equipment will act as a 

force multiplier in our community,” said 

councilman Mitchell Brown. 

Council approved legislation to purchase 

30 AEDs to be placed in Columbus 

Division of Police cruisers. The division has 

already outfitted 36 vehicles with the 

devices. The same response protocol will be 

used to ensure the units outfitted with the 

devices are dispatched to incidents of sudden 

cardiac arrests in addition to EMS personnel. 

These 30 additional AED units will 

be dispersed in precincts with the highest 

volume of calls related to sudden cardiac 

arrest. The success of the pilot program 

will be evaluated after one year, and may 

be expanded if proven successful and funding 

is available. 

“I commend the Columbus Division of 

Police for embracing an initiative that 

enhances their skill-set as first responders 

in order to save lives,” said Brown. 

This pilot is one of the recommendations 

made in May by the HeartSafe Columbus 

St. James to hosts its annual Brats and Crafts Festival 

The event will include authentic 

German food and beer, and live German 

polka music and dancing featuring Ken 

and Mary Turbo Accordions Express. An 

1860s-era “base ball” game will be played 

Saturday at 3 p.m. featuring the Ohio 

Village Muffins and the St. James 

Lutheran Strikers. The weekend concludes 

with a mime/juggling Sunday school program, 

the Columbus Maennerchor and the 

traditional German Worship Service on 

Sunday afternoon. 

Taskforce. Comprised of first responders, 

healthcare professionals, and community 

advocates, the Taskforce submitted recommendations 

to improve Columbus’s survival 

rate from sudden cardiac arrest. Over 

the coming year, Brown will continue to 

implement these recommendations with 

the goal to double Columbus’ survival rate 

from sudden cardiac arrest. 

In addition to the deployment of AEDs, 

the Columbus Division of Police has also 

committed to annual Hands Only CPR 

training for every member of the division. 

The division projects that all 2,200 members 

will receive training by the end 2020.

On July 13, hundreds of people throughout the region hopped aboard the ‘Peace Train’ at Westgate Park 

to experience Summer Jam West, an annual celebration of music and arts on the Hilltop. For more than 

seven hours, Jam-goers perused booths from local crafters, enjoyed live music and wrestling, had their 

faces painted and soaked in the fun and festive atmosphere. Shown here are scenes captured at the 

event. The Mato-Man Randy Sandwich (aka Daryel Lee of Columbus) poses with his championship belt

Reading is a passion for many people. 

But even avid readers may not know just 

how far back their love of reading stretches. 

According to the American Academy of 

Pediatrics, children who find pleasure in 

reading have the potential to become lifelong 

readers. In addition, studies have 

shown that reading to children can help 

kids become familiar with sounds, words 

and language, helping them in their earliest 

stages of cognitive development. So 

adults who love books might be able to 

trace their passion for page-turners to 

those times their mothers and fathers read 

aloud to them as youngsters. 

Parents who want to their children to 

learn to love reading can rely on various 

techniques to accomplish that goal. 

•Make reading a routine. Routine is a 

necessity for parents, helping children 

learn when it’s time to eat, play and go to 

sleep, among other things. Parents can 

include reading to their children as part of 

their daily routines. As noted, doing so will 

promote language skills and cognitive 

development while also acclimating children 

to books and providing valuable time 

Back - to - School 

Establishing a love for reading at a young age 

for them to bond with their parents. 

•Create a distraction-free reading environment. 

When reading to children, parents 

can create an environment with little 

to no distractions. This allows kids to focus 

on their parents’ voices as well as the story 

they’re being told. Parents can turn off the 

television and the radio when reading to 

their kids. In addition, moms and dads 

should leave smartphones or tablets in 

another room so they aren’t distracted by 

alerts or tempted to check for incoming 

messages or emails. 

•Read aloud together. Some children 

may shy away from reading if they struggle 

in their initial efforts to read. That does not 

mean kids won’t ultimately enjoy reading, 

it just means a little more effort may be 

required on parents’ part to help kids overcome 

any issues they have. Reading aloud 

to children can help little ones learn how to 

become good readers, as they will learn 

how to pronounce words and form sentences. 

Kids who know how to read can be 

encouraged to read to their parents, which 

can instill self-esteem. 

•Let kids pick their own books. When 

reading to youngsters, whether they’re 

babies, toddlers or already in school, parents 

can let sons and daughters choose 

their own books. Children might be especially 

enthusiastic about reading if they’re 

allowed to choose their own books and stories. 

Ohio Christian’s Emergency and Disaster 

Management Program 

When Cayla Allen (’21) first started her college 

career at Ohio Christian University, she 

wanted to be a teacher. Later on, she switched to 

an emergency and disaster management degree. 

After receiving a degree, students are qualified to 

work in areas ranging from local non-profits to 

large, international organizations. 

One benefit of the Emergency and Disaster 

Management program is the hands-on experience 

students get in the field. 

“I have served on two disaster relief deployments 

through OCU with The Salvation Army; 

Reading can benefit children from the 

earliest stages of their lives all the way 

through adulthood. Parents can take various 

steps to foster a love of reading in their 

children. 

PAID ADVERTISING 

Ohio Christian’s Emergency and 

Disaster Management program 

one in Puerto Rico (2017) and one in Florida 

(2018), which were my favorite experiences,” 

Allen said. “Secondly, I have taken several trainings 

through The Salvation Army, certifying me 

in different areas.” 

The professors in this program are very dedicated 

to educating their students and helping them 

achieve their goals. 

When asked about the staff at Ohio Christian, 

Allen said, “My professors here at OCU are some 

of the most qualified and experienced people I 

have ever met, and I hope I never take for granted 

what they have provided me with to get where I 

am today and where I will be in the future.”
