A living history at
Century Village
Step back in time and enjoy fall traditions,
music and community as it was in
Ohio during the mid-1800s from 1 to 5
p.m., Sunday, Oct. 6, during the Old-Time
Harvest Day at Century Village in Fryer
Park, 4185 Orders Road.
For most of Ohio’s history, the autumn
harvest involved neighbors working
together to reap the fruits of the growing
season as they prepared for the winter
ahead. The Southwest Franklin County
Historical Society and the city of Grove
City provide an opportunity for families to
connect with the community’s past.

Grove City
Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle
The stands at the Central Crossing
High School football stadium were
packed as their beloved Comets
clashed with the Grove City
Greyhounds on Sept. 13. Though the
two schools have met infrequently on
the gridiron, the fan-bases consider the
winner to be the champion of bragging
rights until the next time they meet.
From Sept. 13 on, the Greyhounds will
hold the title as they won the game 18-
15. Shown here are a few scenes captured
at the festive event.

Knight has plenty of pass protection.

remain in Grove City after graduation. That is still the
goal, but a requirement that a student must reside in
Grove City after graduation has been lifted.
Grove City Council signed off on the change at a recent
meeting.
The higher education investment program was
adopted by the city several years ago. According to
city legislation, the objective of the program is to
expand higher education opportunities in Grove
City, attract economic development, encourage
investment and employment expansion and support
workforce training. It also aims to make the
city a lifetime destination for employment and residency
for young professionals.
Per the program, the city offers full-time students
a $1,000 scholarship each semester or $3,000
a year. Students can receive a maximum amount of
$12,000. The amount of the award part-time students
could receive is $500 per semester or $1,500
a year. To qualify, the student must be a Grove
City resident, attend a participating school and
agree to perform 10 hours of community service.
There was a requirement that the student remain
a city resident after graduating but the program’s
committee recommended that the city drop that
rule.
“Forcing them to live here is not realistic,” said
John Hampson, a former educator and higher education
program committee member. “It is costing
the city additional money that is unnecessary.”
According to Hampson, the administration was
spending money trying to track down individuals
who did not fulfill their promise to stay in Grove
City.
The students may not stay in the city after completing
their studies, but Hampson said the city has
received valuable community service from the students.
He said the hope of the committee is that the
students will complete the community service,
develop ties to the area and want to stay in Grove
Experience living history with a variety of hands-on
activities including old-time games, traditional crafts
and daily chores; including leather tooling, rope weaving,
butter churning and well water pumping.
The event also features:

•Restored or reconstructed historical buildings

City.
“They have to want to be a part of the community,” said
Hampson. “I think in the long run, you will see most of
them stay in Grove City.”
Grove City councilman Ted Berry, who is also a higher
education program committee member, said the community
service requirement is significant.
“The students value the connection to the community
through that community service,” he said.
A resident in attendance at the council meeting spoke
out against the change in the program. Roger Burket said
the initial purpose of the program, to eliminate educated
residents from leaving, is gone.
“This is not going to work,” said Burket. “It was a bad
idea from the beginning. Tax dollars should not go to scholarships.”
Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage said the city has
rewarded 134 students with scholarships.
“That is money well spent,” said Stage.
The mayor said a main objective of the program is to
secure a permanent institution of higher education within
the city.
“We are telling colleges and universities that the city is
building a pool of students who live here, and we want to
subsidize their education,” said Stage.
According to Hampson, a brick and mortar college-level
facility located in Grove City is the ultimate goal.
“I know you can see the possibilities,” Hampson said to
council members.
Students who receive scholarship funds must attend an
institute that has a presence in Grove City. The participating
schools include Columbus State Community College,
which offers classes at the Career Academy, Ohio
Christian University at Grove City Church of the
Nazarene, and Ohio Dominican University, also offering
classes at the Career Academy.

minutes of walking or other forms of exercise.”
Reports show heart disease kills more than 600,000
Americans each year. Mayors across the country are
encouraging citizens to take regular walks to improve
their health. Walking is one of the easiest ways to
lower one’s chances of heart disease and its risk factors,
including high cholesterol, high blood pressure
and diabetes.

It is a scene that has become all too
familiar: A video shows a group of students
preparing to cross the road to reach their
school bus when a vehicle comes into view.
Though the lights on the bus are flashing
and its stop indicators have extended, the
vehicles races by and narrowly misses hitting
the children.
It is a problem that has occurred
throughout the country as districts have
opened its doors to a new school year and
now one local community says it is dealing
with the issue as well.
At the Sept. 10 village of Urbancrest
council meeting, councilwoman Shawn
Moore said there has been three reported
incidents of motorists passes stopped buses
within the month, one she has seen firsthand.
“I was at the bus stop with my granddaughter
when I saw this black truck fly
right by,” she said.
She added that all of the bus lights and
gates were engaged but this motorists
showed little concern for the children ready
to enter the bus.
“It is very dangerous,” she said.
Mayor Joseph Barnes Sr. asked where
in the village these incidents were occurring
and she replied that were taking place
on First Avenue. Councilwoman Alicia
Wiggins said she also heard that one took
place on Central Avenue.
First and Central Avenues are main
Cleanup in Jackson Twp.
The annual Jackson Township Cleanup

Building, 3756 Hoover Road, sponsored by
Jackson Township, the city of Grove City,
thoroughfares in the village. Not only are
they populated residential roads but
employees from nearby businesses often
use them as a shortcut to access Broadway.
In the past several years, council has taken
a number of steps to reduce traffic and
speeding issues along these streets. They
include restricting access between the
weekday hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and
installing a speed capturing sign to establish
trends for future enforcement purposes.
Moore said that with all they have done
to lessen the vehicular dangers posed to its
residents, she was disheartened to see
some motorists continue to endanger lives
by breaking bus passing laws.
“I would hate to see something happen
to any of our kids,” she said.
She asked the street commissioner if

they could purchase signs that bring
awareness to the children in the area, such
as ‘We Love Our Children’ signs.
Commissioner Edward Banks said they
could purchase the signs but the problem
will not stop unless there is enforcement.
“We need the police to come out here,”
he said.
Moore agreed, saying it was imperative
to ask them to step up patrols during these
times.
Barnes suggested that when parents or
grandparents take their kids to the bus
stop, to bring a pen and paper with them to

Monument builders’ artistry on display
in Gold Star Families Memorial
While it was dedicated just about 15 months
ago, the Gold Star Families Memorial Park has
become a focal point of the intersection of
Broadway and Columbus streets in Grove City.
Hannigan Memorials and Modlich Monument
Company played an integral role in the development
of the monument. Modlich collaborated on
the design of the monument with the Hershel
“Woody” Williams Medal of Honor Foundation.
The monument builders at Modlich then turned
the giant slabs of black granite into a memorial
that stands seven feet tall and 14 feet long and
highlights the themes of homeland, family, patriot
and sacrifice. Modlich also built the benches
and created the service medallions and title marker
in the park.
“We were honored to be a part of creating this
monument that is a beautiful tribute to families
who have lost loved ones who were serving their
country.” said Jonathan Modlich, president of
Modlich Monument Company, which includes
Hannigan Memorials.
Hannigan Memorials is part of the family of
companies known as Modlich Monument
Company, which was founded 80 years ago. In
addition to Hannigan Memorials in Grove City
and Modlich Monument Company in Columbus,
the other locations include Darden Memorials,
Fuller Memorials, Mason Memorials and
Newark Memorials.

Promoting mental health care
Informed Aging - By Michelle Missler
Mental health care should be a critical part of everyone’s overall
health and well-being.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in
2018 over 45 million Americans experienced a mental health condition,
more than the populations of New York and Florida combined.
As for adults age 55 and older, 20 percent have experienced
some type of mental health condition that is not a normal component
of the aging process. All too often, mental health challenges
are overlooked and not addressed under the assumption they are
a normal part of aging.
Regrettably, far too often older adults do not access the help
that they need. Mental health conditions that go undiagnosed and
untreated can have significant impact on self-care, daily activities
and health and safety. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders
and severe cognitive impairment can be major contributors to
social isolation, which can result in diminished quality of life and
premature institutionalization. Mental health care is becoming a
basic part of primary care and should be addressed with the same
urgency as diabetes, high blood pressure and other physical
health conditions that can be prevented and treated through a
combination of medical interventions and behavioral changes.
The Franklin County Office on Aging recognizes the importance
of both good mental and physical health while aging in
place. If you or an elderly loved one is in need of mental health
care, please contact Senior Options at 614-525-6200 to get connected
to community resources or contact the Get Connected
Program with Mental Health America of Franklin County at 614-
242-4357 or connect@mhafc.org that will help find trusted mental
health services. It is imperative that no one suffers alone or in
silence.
Michelle Missler is the director of the Franklin County Office on
Aging.

Prepared, Not Scared
Each September, during National Preparedness Month,
Americans are encouraged and reminded to be prepared for
disasters or emergencies in their homes, businesses, and
communities. The 2019 theme is "Prepared, Not Scared."
Homeowners, families, communities, and businesses can use
this opportunity to find ways or help others understand more
about preparing for disasters and reducing risks to health and
the environment.
HOW TO PREPARE:
• Save early for disaster costs - Check your insurance
coverage to ensure you have appropriate insurance for
relevant hazards.
• Make a Plan to Prepare for Disasters – Create an
emergency plan and practice it. Share your plan with family
members. Be sure to include pets in your plan.
• Teach Youth to Prepare for Disasters – Include your
grandchildren in conversations about preparedness. Discuss
their role in your support network and how the people in this
network will assist each other.
• Get Involved in Your Community’s Preparedness – Every
community has volunteer organizations that work during
disasters. Learn what organizations are active in your
community. Other ways to get involved include taking classes
in lifesaving skills or simply checking in with neighbors to see
how you can help each other before or after a storm.
Additional Suggestions:
• Direct Deposit - A disaster can disrupt mail service for days
or weeks. If you depend on Social Security or other regular
benefits, switching to electronic payments is a simple,
significant way to protect yourself financially before disaster
strikes. It also eliminates the risk of stolen checks.
• Mail order pharmacies – If you take medicines on a daily
basis subscribe to a mail order service. These services can
provide a 90 day supply of medicine which will enable you to
keep at least a week-long supply on hand. However, it’s a
good idea to place your order at least two weeks before your
prescription runs out.
• Weather radio – In the event of severe weather, keep a
weather radio tuned to your local emergency station and
monitor TV. Subscribe to or download mobile alerts for
severe weather warnings in your area.
Preparing makes sense for older adults. The likelihood that
you and your family will survive an emergency depends on the
preplanning and preparation. Our abilities and needs are
different, but we can all prepare by evaluating our own
personal needs and those of our loved ones.

Why fall is the best
season to buy a home
By Jaszmine Davis
Marketing Coordinator, Telhio Credit
Union
The spring and summer seasons are notorious
for hot days and a hot real estate market. But have
you ever considered buying a home in the fall?
Potential home buyers are usually more concerned
with trick-or-treating and pumpkin spiced
lattes during the autumnal months, when in reality,
they should be scoping out neighborhoods as
fall is the best season to find the perfect property.
Fall is considered the “off-season” in real
estate and in turn means less competition. Most
buyers want to find a home during the summer to
avoid moving districts before the school year
starts, and if they don’t, they usually drop out of
the market until after the new year. Buying in the
fall puts you in the best position possible: less
competition and a better chance of having an offer
accepted without getting into a bidding war
against multiple offers.
“Besides there being less competition for a
buyer, there tends to be more inventory available,
which affects the pricing in the buyers favor,”
said Igor Babamovski, VP Residential Mortgage
Lending at Telhio Credit Union. “Also, fall
weather means more rain and wet conditions.
This is optimal for buyers because any issues such
as basement dampness or roof leaks can be discovered
more easily.”
Buyers also score better deals in the fall.
Homes that are put on the market during this season
are new or repositioned inventory that didn’t
sell during the spring or summer. This means asking
prices on new inventory are lower, and repositioned
inventory are seeing price cuts. Sellers
are more motivated during this season in order to
be out before the holidays; they are ready to make
a deal. Buyers are urged to go in at a lower offer
and can participate in more aggressive negotiations.
But before jumping into the real estate pond,
buyers are advised to be well prepared, get preapproved
first, know their loan options and buying
power, and hire an experienced real estate
agent that is familiar with the area you are interested
in buying.

Preparing your yard for winter
Winter weather can be harsh.
Homeowners who spend much of the year
tending to their lawns and gardens may
worry that winter will undo all of their
hard work. Though homeowners cannot do
anything to prevent snow, wind and ice
from affecting their properties, they can
take various steps to prepare their lawns
and gardens for whatever winter has in
store.
•Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale
sign that winter is coming. In lieu of
raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners
can mulch them into their lawns.
Scotts, an industry leader in lawn care,
notes that mulching leaves is a great way
for homeowners to recycle a natural
resource and enrich the soil of their lawns.
While it might not be possible to mulch fallen
leaves in late autumn when they begin
to fall en masse, doing so in the early
stages of fall should be possible so long as
the lawn is not being suffocated.
•Rake leaves as they start to fall more
heavily. Once leaves begin to fall more
heavily, rake them up and add them to
compost piles.
The resource GardeningKnowHow.com
notes composting leaves creates a dark,
rich and organic matter that can add nutrients
to garden soil and loosen compacted
earth. Leaving leaves on the lawn once
they start to fall in great numbers makes it
hard for grass blades to breathe, and the
leaves can block moisture from reaching
the soil, which needs water to maintain
strong roots. In addition, potentially harmful
pathogens can breed on damp leaves
left on a lawn, and such bacteria can cause
significant damage to the turf over time.
•Remove annuals from the garden.
Annuals won’t be coming back in spring, so
it’s best to remove ones that are no longer
producing from the garden before the
arrival of winter. Doing so can prevent the
onset of fungal diseases that may adversely
affect the garden in spring.
Fall is the perfect time for homeowners
who spend months making their lawns and
gardens as lush as possible to take steps to
prepare such areas for potentially harsh
winter weather.

Thinning grass can be easily treated
Thick grass is often a hallmark of a healthy lawn. If
grass begins to thin, homeowners may feel as though
all the time and effort they spent tending to their
lawns was for naught.
Thinning grass can be caused by any number of
things.
And while it might take a little effort to address,
thinning grass can be treated if homeowners correctly
identify that cause of the problem.
Leaf spot
The Center for Agriculture, Food and the
Environment at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst notes that leaf spot diseases affect both cooland
warm-season turfgrasses. Various fungi can cause
leaf spot. Symptoms and the timing of the appearance
of leaf spot will vary depending on which fungi is causing
the problem. For example, bipolaris sorokiniana,
which affects grasses in warm, wet summer months,
produces small spots that are dark purple to black.
Dreschslera poae is another fungi that causes leaf
spot, and it also produces dark purple to black spots.
However, it tends to appear in the spring when the
weather is cool and moist. Understanding the different
fungi and when they typically strike can help homeowners
identify what is causing their grass to thin. In
such situations, professional landscapers can be
invaluable resources as well.
Stripe smut
The University of Maryland Extension notes that
stripe smut primarily poses a threat to Kentucky bluegrass
that is older than three years. Pale green streaks
that run parallel to the veins in the leaves and leaf
sheaths are symptomatic of stripe smut, which tends
to be noticed in spring and fall, when weather is cool.
As the disease progresses, stripes turn black or a silvery
gray, causing the leaf blade to shred and curl.
After the blades have shred, they turn brown and die.
The grass thins because stripe smut makes it vulnerable
to problems like drought.
Ascochyta leaf blight
Lawns suffering from ascochyta leaf blight will
become straw-colored. According to lawn care and pesticide
experts, when a lawn is affected by ascochyta
leaf blight, its healthy grass blades will be mixed in
with diseased grass blades. Most prevalent in the
spring, this disease can affect grass at any time during
the growing season. That’s because the ascochyta
fungi invade leaf blades through wounds, such as
those that can result from mowing. Dull lawn mowers
can contribute to the disease, which might disappear
on its own and can even return after it’s seemingly
been cured. Various issues can cause grass blades to
thin. Working with a landscape professional is a great
way to combat such issues before they compromise the
look of a lawn.

Is it time to
ban the bottle?
We’ve all heard the popular rule that we should drink eight glasses of
water every day. One of the main reasons water is so critical to life processes
is that it is helps the body transport critical substances in and out of living
cells. Simply put, water is essential to life.
In an effort to stay healthy and drink the recommended amounts of
water, more and more people have reached for the convenience of bottled
water. But the statistics about pollution and plastics are sobering:
* America’s demand for bottled water uses more than 17 million barrels
of oil annually, enough to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. (1)
* By 2050, there is going to be more plastic in the ocean than fish. (2)
* The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power
190,000 homes. (3)
If you are searching for an alternative to bottled water, it’s time to consider
a home drinking water system. Kinetico Water Systems, headquartered
in Northeast Ohio, is one of the nation’s premier water-treatment innovators.

In Entertainment
“Hustlers” showcases humanity and complexity of exotic dancers
With a plot that revolves around female
exotic dancers, there was an extremely
high risk that the film “Hustlers” would
turn out to be a disaster. Though written
and directed by a woman, it is a rare occurrence
when movies portray these people as
anything other than sexual objects with
“daddy issues” so you just kind of had to
hold your breath and hope for the best.
“Hustlers” was a surprise and in the
best of ways. Not only did Lorene Scafaria
showcase the humanity and complexities of
these characters and their profession, but
she did so it ways that didn’t feel voyeuristic
despite the nudity and sexual situations
depicted within. There are times, however,
when it does veer into that uncomfortable
category but those scenes were shot by
design.
While showing sensitivity, Scafaria also
doesn’t shy away from the seedier aspects
of the clubs where they work, the demeaning
behavior from the male customers, nor
does she lessen the blow of the dancers’
criminal decisions later on. When I went to
see this film, I didn’t expect it to be as deep
as it is, but as I said it was a surprise and
in the best of ways.
The film is a fictionalized look at a story
taken from Jessica Pressler’s 2015 New
York Magazine article about a group of
New York City dancers who were arrested
for drugging men and maxing out their
credit cards. Names have been changed, for
obvious reasons, and scenes have been
embellished for entertainment purposes
but the fact still remains that this actually
happened.
The plot largely centers on a young
woman named Dorothy/Destiny
(Constance Wu) who works at various
clubs in New York to support her grandmother.
One might think she would be raking
in the cash, but at the end of the day
she has to share profits with bouncers, bartenders,
club owners and disc jockey’s,
leaving her with little savable income.
After a particularly rough night, she
meets Ramona (Jennifer Lopez) and is
instantly enamored with this more experienced
dancer who has the club eating out of
the palm of her hand. Wanting to know all
of her secrets, Destiny asks Ramona for
help, and so begins a deeply complex
friendship filled with love, laughter, support
and knowledge about which rich guys
to target.
As the years pass, they drift apart when
Destiny moves away and has a child. Then,
when the recession of 2008 hits and her
boyfriend takes off, she goes back to New
York and resumes her friendship with
Ramona.
But things have changed in Ramona’s
world too with the clubs not bringing in as
much money as they had in the past. Now,
she is in charge of a little operation where
a group of dancers (played by Keke Palmer
and Lili Reinhart) drug rich men, bring
them back to the club, and then proceed to
max out their cards while they are under
the influence. Wanting her friend to share
in the operation and its profits, she tries to
recruit Destiny into the scheme but she has
reservations as to its legality, as she
should. But after a particularly demoralizing
encounter with a customer and with
Ramona in her ear talking about how these
Wall Street types deserve to be bilked of
their money, she goes all in.
With the culture of silence regarding
men not wanting to talk about crimes perpetuated
against them by women, the scam
goes on for years. And then when it doesn’t,
the scene, set to Lorde’s Royals, is a glorious
one, probably one of the best scenes
featured in a movie this year.
There are times when the momentum
drags and point of view transitions become
awkward (it cuts between past and present
The Reel Deal
Dedra Cordle
day via interviews
with a journalist)
but overall
“Hustlers” is a highly
entertaining film
rich with humor,
complicated women,
an excellent soundtrack
and engaging performances, particularly
by Wu and Lopez.
It is no surprise that Lopez is getting
rave reviews and some award-season buzz
for her portrayal as Ramona. She oozes
charisma and warmth and that edge of
ruthlessness that make characters stand
out from the pack, and that is what she
does in “Hustlers.” She stands out in a film
that is in of itself a standout, and makes
this an immensely enjoyable watch.
