The Voice of

Grove City

By Christine Bryant

Staff Writer

The 40th anniversary of Arts in the

Alley will feature a different form of art

not featured at the event before - singing.

Inspired by national singing competitions

like “The Voice” and “American Idol,”

“The Voice of Grove City” will give local

artists the opportunity to display their

vocal talents in front of a live audience

during Arts in the Alley, said Trent Soles,

one of the competition’s organizers.

“The idea was inspired by how the Arts in the Alley

has encouraged so many artists and crafters for over

40 years, and the one art form we hadn’t awarded yet

is music, which is a unifying art form loved by everyone,”

he said.

To enter the competition created by the Grove City

Area Chamber of Commerce, contestants must fill out

an online form found at voiceofgrovecity.com and submit

a video featuring the contestant’s vocal abilities.

There are no restrictions on residency; however,

contestants must be 13 and older.

A panel of judges will review the submitted videos

and select 25 contestants to advance to the first of

three live rounds.

The first live round will be held Sept. 20 at the First

Baptist Church of Grove City, 3301 Orders Road,

Grove City. The first round will be open to the public,

with a cost of $5 per individual to attend.

From the first round, judges will select a minimum

of 10 performers who will move on to compete during

the second round on Sept. 21 at Arts in the Alley. A

minimum of five contestants will then move on to compete

for a $2,500 prize in the final round of live judging

Sept. 22 at Arts in the Alley.

Both the second and final rounds are open to the

public and free to attend.

Organizers are still determining times for each of

the rounds and will update the event website once

finalized.

The cost to enter the competition is $25 until the

deadline

of Aug.

31.

excitement in our community,” said Marilyn Reiner,

events manager for Grove City Area Chamber of

Commerce. “This is our first attempt, so we’ll grow

from this and it will be something that will be great for

Arts in the Alley.”

The competition also will provide a valuable experience

for those pursuing a music career or who have an

interest in entering other future competitions, she

said.

“It will be a great learning experience for those who

want to get a taste of what competing is like so they

can be a little bit more prepared and confident,” Reiner

said.

For Soles, who presented the idea to the chamber

board, it is an opportunity to share some of what he

and his family has learned with others looking for the

same experiences.

Trent’s son, Blake Soles, who is serving as emcee

and co-producer, has entered several contests on a

national level, including “America’s Got Talent,” “X-

Factor,” “The Voice” and “American Idol.”

In fact, Blake’s original song audition aired on

national television in 2014 on “American Idol,” and in

a span of two years, he won local Ohio competitions

such as “The Voice of Ohio.” He later served as a mentor

and traveled the state performing at festivals with

the top 10 finalists from “Ohio Idol.”

Those experiences gave Soles and his son an insider’s

perspective on the positive outcomes a vocal competition

like “The Voice of Grove City” can provide, he

said.

“Blake and I loved being able to encourage other

singers through these often rigorous competitions that

could easily become a bad experience for them,” Soles

said. “With a little encouragement and instruction,

they could learn something to empower them to use

their gift for encouraging others, too.”

This year’s Arts in the Alley event will take place

Sept. 21 and 22. For more information, go to gcchamber.org/arts-in-the-alley.

The Brown’s Farm development plan

and tax increment financing (TIF) agreement

received approval from Grove City

Council on Aug. 5.

The development plan allows Wilcox

Communities to build 110 condominiums

on the east side of Haughn Road and more

than 200 apartment units on the west side

of Haughn Road. The housing units are

age-targeted to senior citizens and empty

nesters.

The 100 percent, 30-year tax increment

financing agreement would address some

of the area’s infrastructure needs, according

to city officials. 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. The public infrastructure

improvements may include improvements

to public roads and water and sewer

lines.

The measures were approved despite

opposition from some area residents.

“Not one resident has testified in favor

of this development,” said David Hellard.

The Orders Road resident said the roads

are unsafe and the added traffic generated

by the development would not help matters.

According to the development plan,

there will be three access points to the

homes — one from Haughn Road, one from

Orders Road and one from Discovery Drive

near the Grove City YMCA and Fryer

Park. The access point near the YMCA was

a point of concern.

Doug Stickel, director of the Grove City

YMCA, said this would bring more congestion

to Discovery Drive.

“This is concerning for our members and


Council OKs Brown’s Farm proposals

the community,” said Stickel.

Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage

said that access point was chosen because

it is an intersection with a traffic signal. He

also said there will be improvements made

to Discovery Drive.

“We want it to become a street, especially

if the YMCA were to expand,” said Stage.

The mayor also said there is developable

land to the south so that street would be

needed as a connection for future growth.

Overall, Stage said, infrastructure needs

will be addressed.

“We are going to upgrade Orders Road

as part of the TIF package,” said Stage.

“We will have a better Haughn Road, a better

Orders Road and a better path to the

YMCA. There are winners in this.”

According to City Administrator Chuck

Boso, the TIF agreement is expected to

generate approximately $43 million in

seven years. He said the city would receive

about $12 million for Orders Road improvements.

Construction on the development is

expected to begin in the fall of 2019. Once

the TIF funding starts to come in, the

infrastructure improvements would begin

though that may be a few years down the

road.

Homecoming Celebration on July 26. McComb, a native of West Virginia, was named

the recipient of the 2019 Service Above Self Award by the Grove City Rotary, joining

past recipients Leslie Bostic and Sherol Saxton Mulligan. Rotary President Scott

Molino said Tiney and his wife, Helena were renowned throughout the community

for their giving spirit and the love they had for their adopted hometown. He added

that McComb was recognized for the award for his support of organizations such

as the Ohio 4-H, Sertoma International, Osteopathic Heritage Foundation and his

involvement as director emeritus of the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus.

McComb and his wife were also heavily involved with the founding of the Grove City

Area Chamber of Commerce and the Arts in the Alley Festival.

of portraiture artwork by the late

Robert L. Hummel (1947-2019), on display

through Friday, Sept. 13 at City Hall, 4035

Broadway, in historic Grove City Town

Center.

Raised in Grove City and a 1965 graduate

of Grove City High School, Hummel

subject to medical illustration and communication

students.

Hummel enjoyed creating lasting memories

through his portraiture work, including

those of pets, caricatures and renderings

of buildings.

Not only was he well known for the

incredible likeness of his art to its subjects,

he was equally accomplished in music.

Hummel began singing and entertaining in

his teens and gained quite a bit of celebrity

with his band Rainbow Canyon’s hit,

“Franklin County Woman,” recorded in

1977. With his beloved hometown always

in his heart, Hummel often referenced

Grove City in his music and recordings.

Recruiting his wife JoAnn to join the show

in later years,

“Cowboy and Jojo”

continued entertaining

for 20 years.

Kick-off to

Kindergarten

With the start of the new school year

approaching, officials with the South-

Western City Schools District welcomed

incoming kindergarteners to

Harmon Elementary for the third annual

Kindergarten Kick-Off. According to

Melvina Tobert, the district’s coordinator

of state and federal programs, the

mission of kick-off is to help the new

students familiarize themselves with

the layout of the elementary schools,

learn lunch line protocols, and get a

glimpse of what they will be learning in

the classroom. Here, incoming Richard

Avenue student Anaquinn Underwood

shows off the books she picked out during

a trip to the school library.

Kindergarteners who participated in the

kick-off were allowed to choose

between five to ten new books to read.

Future educators travel to

learn from top educators

During summer break, Dr. Valerie Jones, Teacher Education Chair and

Dr. Jeanne Bruce, Associate Professor, traveled with five pre-service educators

to Helsinki, Finland, and Stockholm, Sweden to study the top-two

school systems in the world. The group was able to tour a Finnish grade

school to observe their curriculum and instruction and speak with students

and teachers. In Sweden, they visited a university and learned about

Swedish high schools and transitioning to higher education.

The pre-service educators were significantly impacted by what they saw

and learned. Makayla Harr (’20), Adolescence to Young Adult Math

Education major, remarked, “I loved that the schools not only promoted academic

success but encouraged creativity and prioritized life skills and the

arts as much as academics. Their education system focuses well on the individual.

Their students had choices in electives starting at a young age, and

some were accelerated in their strongest subjects, and I loved that.”

Dr. Jones added, “This learning experience was the first of many for our

department. We learned much and plan to spread what we’ve learned to

other educators through conference presentations and workshops.” Next

spring, students will be able to have another learning experience in England,

Ireland, and Scotland.

Classes bring police and community together

By Andrea Cordle

Southwest Editor

Have you ever wondered what it takes

to be a police officer? Do you question decisions

officers make? If the answer is yes,

maybe the Grove City Police Academy is

for you.

“This is a way to let community members

understand what the police do and

why,” said Tom Durflinger, the police community

relations supervisor for the Grove

City Division of Police. “It’s a chance to

interact with us in a non-enforcement

way.”

The citizens police academy started in

2011. The division of police is currently

enrolling for the 12th session of the academy

that will begin Sept. 17.

Durflinger said there was a lot of community

interest and participation when the

academy was first introduced but since

then involvement has fluctuated.

According to the police department, the

purpose of the citizens police academy is to

provide educational information regarding

the division of police, its mission and activities.

Residents of the city of Grove City or

Jackson Township can sign up to gain a

better understanding of police work while

officers can gather input about community

concerns.

“It gives them a different perception,”

said Durflinger. “It’s eye opening.”

Durflinger said participants get to tour

the police station as well as the radio room.

They see and handle some police equipment

and get to drive in a drunk driving

simulator. Participants also get an

overview in laws, crime prevention and the

criminal justice system.

Grove City resident and former educator

in the South-Western City Schools

District Jeri Kerns participated in a Grove

City Citizens Police Academy and enjoyed

it so much, she decided to become a member

of the police academy alumni association,

where she has been president for the

last three terms.

“I felt an appreciation for what they go

through,” said Kerns.

Once someone graduates from the academy,

they can become a member of the

alumni association if they choose to do so.

According to Kerns, the alumni group has

41 active members.

“We are looking for viable volunteers,”

she said.

Kerns said the primary goal of the alumni

association is to support the Grove City

Division of Police. They also participate in

community watch programs.

“We provide an extra trained eye,” said

Kerns.

The alumni association meets once a

month at various locations throughout the

city, like the Grove City Welcome Center

and Museum, Scioto Grove Metro Park and

Mount Carmel Grove City.

“We like to show everyone what our

community has to offer,” said Kerns.

As president of the alumni association,

Kerns will speak to participants in the

academy about membership opportunities.

According to the police department,

enrollment in the citizens police academy

is not designed to further employment

opportunities within the criminal justice

profession. It is designed to improve community

and police partnerships.

The Grove City Citizens Police Academy

will meet from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and

Thursdays at the Grove City Safety

Complex, 3360 Park St. Classes begin Sept.

17 and the academy will run for about six

weeks.

There is no cost. Applicants must be a

Grove City or Jackson Township resident

and be at least 18 years old. Applications

can be obtained by visiting www.grovecityohio.gov

or picked up at the Safety

Complex.

For more information, visit the Grove

City website or call the division of police at

614-277-1742.

WAG! Fest

Pets of the week

Eddie is a 3-year-old

German Shepherd/greyhound

mix

who is fun loving and

playful. He is timid

when meeting new

people but once he

knows you, he will be

your best buddy. He would do well as a second

dog so he has an established dog to help

him with his energy and social skills. He is

good with other playful dogs and ignores

cats. He is going to be a great dog for someone

looking for a dog that loves to play, exercise

and get lots of love. Eddie is up for adoption

through Colony Cats and Dogs.

FYI: www.colonycats.org

Bixby is a 5-year-old

coonhound/walker

mix. He is a fun-loving,

happy-all-thetime

kind of dog looking

for someone who

play around. Must

humor and a bunch

of tennis balls. Bixby would be a great addition

to any family. Adopt him from the Franklin

County Dog Shelter.
