Brown’s Farm plan

moving forward

By Andrea Cordle

Southwest Editor

The proposal has been kicked down the

road for more than a year but now, it’s

back on the schedule.

At the July 15 meeting, Grove City

Council postponed two pieces of legislation

pertaining to the Brown’s Farm redevelopment

plan, located near Orders Road and

Haughn Road. The first piece of legislation

was the development plan that would

allow Wilcox Communities to build 110 cottages,

or condominiums, on the east side of

Haughn Road and more than 200 apart-

Community Winds strike the perfect note

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

While standing atop a hill in

Southwestern Pennsylvania, overlooking

a vast green space painted with wildflowers,

Rich Hart could not help but to

reflect on the sight. Directly before him

was hallowed ground, the place where 40

passengers and crew of United Flight 93

tried to wrest control of a hijacked plane

15 years prior. There was no visible scarring

on the rural field where the plane

crashed down that September day but the

reverberations of their actions could be

still felt throughout the silent crowd.

“It was a very solemn, sacred experience,”

said Hart, a native of Grove City.

As he recalled the memories of that

day, thinking of all the lives that were

lost, his mind drifted to a memorial concert

he and his fellow members of the

Grove City Community Winds were

scheduled to perform later that afternoon.

It was just a few months earlier when

the concert band was given an invitation

to perform at the Flight 93 National

Memorial in Somerset County. Not only

was this invitation significant as they

were the first non-local community band

asked to play there, but they would also

be playing ‘Flight of Valor,’ an original

arrangement from Winds director, James

Swearingen, who specifically created it to

honor of those brave men and women.

After the emotional concert, which was

witnessed by a community still healing

from the horrific events, Hart looked

around at his bandmates and felt humbled

by the experience. He said he

couldn’t believe they had been gifted this

experience, this opportunity to perform at

a sacred place. As he did that morning, he

reflected. He reflected on the formation of

the band, his once held belief that it

wouldn’t work out. He reflected on the

impact the band has had on the community

and on each other. He reflected on

the tears that were shed, the souls they

have touched. And he reflected on the fact

that they have come to be known as one

of the best representatives of central

Ohio.

It was nearly 20 years ago when Hart

answered a phone call that would change

his life. On the other end was an old

acquaintance who asked if he would be

willing to play in a newly formed community

band.

“At that point in my life, I wasn’t playing

music as much as I wanted to,” said

the 1973 graduate of Grove City High

School. “It wasn’t what I majored in when

I was at Ohio State and it wasn’t what I

was doing professionally but ever since I

was in high school, music has been everything

to me. I knew immediately I want-

ed to do this.”

With roughly 16 members — a majority comprised of

trumpet, trombone, clarinet and saxophone players —

they knew they were not going to sound exactly as they

wanted to at first.

“While some of them were professional musicians,

there were others who were still getting back into the

thick of things,” said the trumpet player. “We had

some people who didn’t play their instruments real

loud and it was always covered up by those who could.

It was an interesting first couple weeks, to be sure.”

It was several months into their existence when a

member contacted Swearingen, a former band director

at Grove City High School who is world renowned as a

performer, composer and educator, to gauge his interest

in being their director. Hart thought it highly

unlikely he would say yes to the proposal; Swearingen

thought just the opposite.

“I told them I would commit to being the director for

five years and that was it,” Swearingen said with a

laugh. “Now here we are, more than a decade after

those first five years and I’m still here, still enjoying

it.”

He said the real selling point in taking the new venture

was his love for the city and the people in it.

“I had the feeling of wanting to contribute to this

great community and this desire to make things even

better.”

His first order of business was to bulk up the numbers

by recruiting local talent, most of whom were

either professional musicians or current and retired

band directors. He even snagged saxophone player Jim

Staten, a former Airman of Note who is credited with

improving the music program within the South-

Western City Schools District.

Shortly thereafter, the Community Winds was 60-

strong and garnering a reputation in the music community

for their precision. They even gained a dedicated

group of local fans, notable among those are Cindy

Kazalia and Julie Oyster.

Kazalia said she had been listening to the concert

band since their inception, drawn in by their exceptional

talent and other-worldly sound.

“They always have a way to impact my soul,” said

the long-time resident of Grove City. “Every time I

leave one of their concerts, their performance just

stays with me for a long time.”

For Oyster, who is the daughter of Staten, it is the

combination of past, present and future displayed in

the ensemble that touches her the most. She said a

majority of the elders are known throughout the community

for their dedication to music education and

excellence, while the younger generation are known

for their up-and-coming talents.

She said it also doesn’t hurt that their combined

experience comes together beautifully during each performance.

“I would describe their sound as pure and professional,”

said Oyster.

While the local fans may have known about these

hidden gems, they slowly started to receive more

attention outside of the city, and then eventually

beyond the state.

In addition to performing at local churches, venues

and festivals, the Community Winds were invited to

perform at the Ohio Music Educators Association

State Convention in 2012, then the World War II

Memorial in Washington D.C. that same year. In 2016,

they were invited to perform at the Flight 93 National

Memorial and then this summer were invited back to

the WWII Memorial.

Swearingen said they did not have out-of-state travel

plans in mind when the concert band was formed,

but he called the recognition a great honor and a true

reflection of the quality musicians and of the people in

the city itself.

“We wouldn’t be able to continue to perform at such

a high quality without the support of this great community,”

he said, praising the city and the Grove City

Community Club who helped provide a portion of the

funding for the second D.C. trip.

As for Hart, he said he always has to lightly pinch

himself whenever they perform as a reminder of how

far they have come. He said he knows with the

immense love his bandmates have for music, each

other, and this community, they will continue to live

on well into the future.

ment units on the west side of Haughn

Road. The housing plan would cater to

senior citizens and empty nesters. The second

piece of legislation discussed was a tax

increment financing (TIF) agreement with

the developer.

Both items were postponed for council to

consider at its Aug. 5 meeting.

Jonathan Wilcox, of Wilcox

Communities, had requested the delay so

he and city officials could address the traffic

concerns brought forth by residents who

live along Orders Road. Some of the area

residents asked that the city address the

safety concerns along Orders Road before

they allow a large complex to be built.

Resident David Hellard reported witnessing

three traffic fatalities near his

home along Orders Road. Last year, he

spoke out against the project saying it

offered no comprehensive traffic plan for

the road.

The legislation on the TIF agreement

would address some infrastructure needs,

according to the ordinance.

Tax increment financing agreements

subsidize companies by refunding or

diverting a portion of their taxes to help

finance development or pay for infrastructure

improvements near the development

area. According to the legislation, the

exemption may be for up to 100 percent for

up to 30 years. The public infrastructure

improvements may include improvements

to public roads and water and sewer lines.

Mid-Ohio Indie Author Book Expo

The Mid-Ohio Indie Author Book Expo will be held from 3 to 7

p.m. Aug. 10 at the Vaughn Hairston YMCA in Urbancrest. The

event allows book lovers to discover new authors and purchase

singed copies of books.

The event started three years ago by local author Alicia

Wiggins to showcase the work of self-published authors. The event

will feature up to 40 authors from Ohio and surrounding states.

Admission is free. For more information, visit www.midohioindies.com.

Gathering at Gantz

Gantz Gardens, at 2255 Home Road in

Grove City, will be the setting for Gathering

at Gantz, an open house hosted by Grove

City Arts Council. The council invites the

public to enjoy hot dogs while watching art

demonstrations that include painting, photography

and coloring activities for children.

The event is an opportunity for the

public to meet GCAC members and learn

more about the council’s mission. The event

will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Aug. 25 in the

large shelter house. There is no cost to

attend.

“I believe the only way we’re going to get

repairs to Orders Road and Haughn Road

is through a TIF,” said Grove City councilman

Roby Schottke.

The legislation is not specific as to what

infrastructure improvements would be

addressed through TIF funds. It lays out

where the money could be used. Once the

funds start to come in, the funding for road

and/or sewer improvements would come

before city council.

According to Grove City Mayor Richard

“Ike” Stage, some of the intended projects

could include a safer Orders Road with

shoulders, a bike path and a road that goes

to the Grove City YMCA, instead of a lane.

“Orders Road is a problem,” said Stage.

“The only way to get that resolved is if we

have major funding. We have brought forth

the best package for our community.”

There was also discussion about the city

and developer working together to build a

public dog park near Fryer Park.

According to Wilcox, there were plans to


include a small, private dog park for residents

in the senior complex. Councilman

Ted Berry suggested making a larger, public

dog park.

“If you’re already going to put money

into it, why not make it a public park?”

asked the councilman.

Wilcox thought it was a good idea and

said he would review the mechanics and

the project cost. If this is something city

leaders and the developer want to explore,

Wilcox would likely cover the initial cost to

build the public dog park but would be

reimbursed under the TIF agreement.

Not all city leaders were sold on the

idea.

“We don’t know if this is something the

public wants,” said councilman Steve

Robinette.

A public dog park is currently not part of

the legislation included in the Brown’s

Farm development plan or TIF agreement.

City council meets at 7 p.m. Aug. 5 at

City Hall, 4035 Broadway.

UNDISPUTED #1 in 43123 SALES


Government Focus

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

Within the past five years, the village of

Urbancrest council has debated and

approved ordinances related to nuisance

felines and canines, as well as the field

dressing of deer in public spaces. Now,

farm animals could be added to that list.

At the July meeting, councilwoman

Deborah Larkins-Jackson questioned

whether the raising of chickens, hens or

roosters was permissible in the village as

she heard their unmistakable call early one

morning.

“Are they allowed to be here?” she

asked.

The answer, said code enforcement officer

Randall Bogue, was ‘possibly.’

“Since this issue has been raised, I have

been going through the village code extensively

and have not seen anything pertaining

to farm animals being allowed or disallowed

in the village.

“I’m still going through all of the code

from years past where it could be found,

but so far I have been unable to locate anything

concrete.”

Larkins-Jackson said in addition to

hearing the noise herself, she has recently

been fielding complaints from residents

who have reported the same thing.

She said she doesn’t necessarily mind

residents raising a chicken or two in the

village for their eggs - provided they are

properly secured and not running throughout

the village — but is wary about the raising

of hens.

“If I know one thing, it’s if there are

hens around there are going to be roosters,”

she said.

Bogue said that in addition to researching

past ordinances, he is going to consult

with the leadership at Jackson Township

and the city of Grove City for their input.

“If either of those entities allow (residents

to raise chickens and hens), we

wouldn’t have much of a case against it,” he

said.

He added that if they do not, the village

council will have to debate the issue if residents

deem it too much of a nuisance.

In other news, the installation of the

speed capturing sign was once again

On July 15, the Central Ohio Transit

Authority (COTA) launched COTA Plus, an

on-demand microtransit that will provide

first/last mile service in partnership with

Grove City.

The mobility option will operate as a

one-year pilot and will offer customers with

point-to-point service at an affordable fare,

and connect COTA riders to fixed route service

for free.

COTA Plus is an on-demand, app-based

ride share service that can book multiple

passengers heading in the same direction

into a shared vehicle. Referred to in the

industry as microtransit on-demand,

COTA Plus operates either as a point-topoint

ride share service or as a connection

to or from a COTA bus line. Operators are

COTA employees, who receive training and

are subject to background checks upon hiring.

“There is increased demand for greater

mobility options across many of our central

Ohio communities, including Grove City,”

said Joanna Pinkerton, president/CEO of

COTA. “COTA Plus was designed with

input from multiple stakeholders, including

the city and area businesses, who have

identified mobility challenges as a barrier

to employment, healthcare, and education.

Back - to - School

Easing first day jitters

The first day of school is one of the most

exciting days of the year –but it can also

be one of the most stressful for both children

and parents.

The freedom (and chaos and boredom) of

the summer is over, and new friends (and

teachers and challenges) await. But an

annual family tradition can soothe everyone’s

nerves by making the big day feel

more familiar and predictable. Here are

some rituals that may work for you and

your family – but, of course, feel free to

invent your own.

• Pack a note with your child’s lunch

telling him how proud you are of him or, if

your child is older, pack a comic strip

clipped from the Sunday paper or a joke he

can share with his friends.

• Take a picture of your child (or children),

wearing that first day of school outfit,

in the same spot every year. Store the

photographs in a special album so you and

your family can look back on how your kids

have grown up over the years.

• Make a welcome home treat. Your

child might be too nervous for a special

breakfast on the first day, but she’ll love

coming home to her favorite snack, which

she can eat while she tells you all about her

day.

• Take your child shopping for school

supplies before the big day. Nothing makes

a child feel more prepared for and excited

about starting school than a fresh batch of

pencils and new folders and binders.

• Visit the school the day before classes

start. You’ll have a chance to walk around

the classroom without dozens of children

racing around, and you’ll probably be able

to talk with teachers for a few minutes.

• Invite some children in your child’s

class over before school starts. Include

some of his friends and someone who’s new

to the area. Not only will your child see

some familiar faces on the first day, but

she’ll also have a sense of purpose as she

helps the new kid get adjusted.

Tips for grabbing the best deals on school clothes

Children and parents often look forward

to the dawn of a new school year. But

before the first homeroom session can take

place, parents may need to take their students

clothes shopping.

According to a 2018 survey by Deloitte,

parents spend an average of $510 per

household on apparel, school supplies, electronic

gadgets, and other items for their

kids’ return to school. The back-to-school

season runs from July through September,

during which American households alone

spend $27.6 billion, which is second only to

the holiday season in regard to the most

A rich learning environment at

Amazing Kids Academy

Amazing Kids Academy was founded

September 2002 to meet the needs of Grove City

children who needed a small individualized

preschool environment. We offer small classes

with degreed teachers to meet the needs of your

child as they develop.

Our school has a rich learning environment

using High Scope curriculum which allows us to

be diverse in our learning approach. We have

many “indoor” field trips where groups come to

the school to talk with the children. Each year the

lucrative times for retailers.

Apparel is a large part of back-to-school

shopping. Many parents find they need to

outfit their kids with a new wardrobes each

year. Jeans and leggings that fit like a

glove in June may only reach mid-calf by

Labor Day. To make the shopping process

less harried and more productive, parents

can employ these strategies.

Take inventory

Go through kids’ wardrobes and see

what can be salvaged and what might need

to go. This is the perfect opportunity to put

aside gently used, outgrown items that

may be passed on to someone else who can

use them. Be sure to make a list of any

items that the school requires, particularly

in regard to uniforms or dress codes. By

knowing what’s in stock in the closet, you’ll

have a clear idea of what you need to buy.

Check for tax-free discounts

Some states or cities offer tax-free or

discount shopping incentives, which can

add up to considerable savings. It may be

well worth the effort to stock up on necessities

during these times.

Sign up for loyalty programs

If yours is a child who prefers certain

brands, sign up early in the year for such

brands’ loyalty clubs.

Get enough to get by

While certain clothing sales happen

between July and August, often the real

savings begin in October. Wait until that

time to buy the bulk of kids’ school clothes.

After all, the first weeks of school are usually

warm, and summer clothing will still

suffice with a few new items thrown in to

freshen up wardrobes.

Invest in quality shoes

Sneakers and other shoes can be expensive.

However, investing in quality brands

can help you avoid having to buy shoes frequently.

Watch for shoe sales and stock up

on coupons. Many stores offer buy-one, getone

half off during the back-to-school season.

In addition to these tips, save more by

shopping overstock stores or warehouse

clubs for name-brand items at lower prices.

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.

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.”



SWACO needs clay soil

from Pleasant Township

By Hannah Poling

Staff Writer

A representative from the Solid Waste

Authority of Center Ohio (SWACO) attended

the July 23 Pleasant Township trustee

meeting to discuss plans to collect clay soil

for the landfill.

SWACO Director of Operations, Scott

Perry discussed creating a crossing on

Young Road to harvest clay.

“We are currently out of clay material to

build our landfill,” said Perry. “Currently,

the area where we are at, we’ve used all

the clay. The next place to get clay is west

of Young Road.”

He said that right now they are only in

the process of testing the dirt. All of the

samples have already been taken. SWACO

has plenty of soil for their daily operations

at the landfill, but they do not have any

clay.

Upgrades will also be made to the road.

According to Perry, SWACO will only use

the road as necessary during construction

and will use safety precautions such as a

mobile red lights, flaggers, a berm, and

fence around the construction area.

The project is scheduled to begin in

2021.

“We just want to keep the community

up to date with what we are doing,” Perry

said. “We wanted to come out here and

show what we are doing and be transparent.”

The noise ordinance was also brought

up at the meeting by Pleasant Township

resident, Mary Kerins.

According to Kerins, a rodeo took place

at the end of June about a mile and a half

away from her residence. She called the

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to file a

noise complaint against the rodeo.

“I live on Oakhurst and I could hear

every word the man said over the loud

speaker,” Kerins said. “I didn’t call until

11:15 p.m. and they were still going on. It

was loud and it was late.”

She was told to bring the issue up with

Pleasant Township officials. She was then

forwarded to Prairie Township where she

attended their township meeting as well to

discuss the issue last week. Both Prairie

Township and Pleasant Township have the

same noise regulations.

According to Kerins, there were many

noise complaints made that night. She

wanted to make the trustees aware of the

situation so something could be done to

prevent this in the future.

“I think in that noise resolution there is

something that addresses events that happen

occasionally,” said Nancy Hunter,

township trustee.

Hunter said the noise resolution would

be looked into more thoroughly to address

this issue.

Creature film is back with some bite

Want to see apex predators on the big screen? Are

you not interested in watching them singing and dancing

and, you know, getting along with others? If so,

might I suggest the recently released “Crawl” to whet

your ravenous appetite?

If you’re like me, you miss the abundance of mindless

creature features that filled the summer blockbuster

slate in the 1990s and early 2000s. These films

were fun, simple, stupid and exactly what you wanted

to see during these long and hot months.

Unfortunately, like most species on this planet, this

genre became endangered and then practically extinct

due to human activity, or inactivity to be more precise,

at the box office. But unlike the former, powerful people

in charge may be looking to bring the latter back to

life, a welcome respite from the constant stream of

comic book adaptations, sequels and reboots. Though

some may not be thrilled with this potential bit of

news, I say it is cause for a generic celebration. Let the

creature feature reign!

In “Crawl,” the primary focus is on a competitive

swimmer named Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario) and

her strained relationship with her father Dale (Barry

Pepper). For reasons not well explained, these two had

a falling out several years ago and have been in minimal

contact since despite living a short distance away.

After a disastrous swim meet that could imperil her

scholarship at the University of Florida, Haley is given

two more pieces of bad news: the first is that the strong

tropical storm has turned into a Category 5 hurricane

and the second is that her sister has not heard from

their father in days.

Despite knowing the perils of not getting out of

dodge during a weather event of that magnitude,

Haley travels back to their hometown to search for

their missing father. When she arrives at his last

known residence, she finds their beloved dog Sugar

(Cso-Cso) frightened and all alone. Knowing that he

would not willingly leave the pet behind, she takes the

pooch with her to their childhood home where they discover

his truck, tool belt and phone, but no estranged

father.

With a growing sense of unease, Haley searches the

house until the only place left is their labyrinthine

crawl space. Navigating its dark curves, errant wiring

and the occasional rat and spider,

she quite literally stumbles

upon the body of her partially

mauled and unconscious father.

Not knowing what caused his

injuries, she uses a makeshift

tarp to try to drag him to safety.

But just as they nearly reach

the stairway to safe haven, a massive alligator strikes

from the shadows, leaving the humans trapped in a

maze of darkness that is quickly being flooded with

water.

Though the setting for this film is a dank crawl

space filled with murky water, it isn’t hard to see the

action that is taking place: the use of light from director

Alexandre Aja (of “Piranha 3D” fame) and cinematographer

Maxime Alexandre put bigger budget

action films to shame. With this usage, the trickery of

light, it creates a sense of heightened tension as the

alligator could literally be lurking anywhere. That is

not to mention the use of measuring tapes as an awakened

Dale uses it to calculate how fast the water is rising,

or him slipping back into coach mode as he tries to

coax his daughter to make a swim for safety.

Like the creature feature films of the past, and

unlike the lesser versions on SyFy, you find yourself

rooting for these characters to succeed and survive

despite their long odds. And a bonus is that they don’t

make too many stupid decisions unlike their counterparts

of yore.

So if you’re looking for something fun and original

and straightforward to see this summer, consider

“Crawl” as an option. It’s a lean film that features

decent jump scares, an excellent use of light, and it

constantly taps into the fear of what is lurking beneath

the water’s surface or around any dark corner. Grade:

B+
