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.

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.

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:

•Costumed re-enactors and period music.

•A wagon ride through Century Village.

•Restored or reconstructed historical buildings

including a one-room schoolhouse, log cabin, general

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.

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

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

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.

time in more than a decade. The Parade of

Homes will take place in summer and feature

homes built by Ohio’s premier

builders.

“For more than 60 years the Parade of

Homes has been at the forefront of showcasing

innovation and the latest trends by

the homebuilding community of central

Ohio,” said BIA Executive Director, Jon

Melchi. “The 2020 Parade of Homes at

Beulah Park continues that fine tradition

at a historic location with unparalleled

accessibility and proximity to amenities.”

The Beulah Park redevelopment is

unique in that it provides an opportunity

for place making with the ability to master

design 220 acres adjoining the existing and

established Town Center. The walkability

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.
