A Harvest Fest

By Amanda Ensinger

Staff Writer

In celebration of its bicentennial, a local

township is hosting a unique festival celebrating

all things fall. Over a year in the

making, the festival will bring the entire

community together to celebrate a once in

a lifetime anniversary.

Called the Prairie Harvest Festival, the

event will kickoff with the Prairie

Migration 5K at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct.

12 at Prairie Township Fire Department

Station 241, 123 Inah Ave. The 5K cost

$30 to participate and includes a t-shirt,

medal, swag bag and bib. There also will

be a kids 100-yard dash that cost $15 to

participate in.

More than a hundred volunteers came out to pick up litter along Sullivant Avenue for the 10th annual South-Central Hilltop

Cleanup on Sept. 28. Shown here are the volunteers shortly before setting off and getting their (gloved) hands dirty for the good

of the community.

Waste Warriors

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

Payton Spitzer was beginning to believe this cleanup event

was staged.

It was shortly after the 8-year-old set off with a group of family

and friends to remove litter on Sullivant Avenue and they

had already ruined a pair of protective gloves, filled two large

bags with waste and were working hard on the third.

She stood on the sidewalk with her hands on her hips, looking

down at the empty soda bottles and food wrappers lining the

street and then to her left where an assortment of broken glass,

Lady Bic razors and socks grossly adorned the corner of a vacant

business.

With a look of disgust, she swirled around to face her aunt

Rachel Greer and demanded to know if this was a set up.

“Did they throw all of this out here just for us?” she asked.

“What are you talking about,” Greer replied.

“The cleanup event people,” said Spitzer. “Did they come out

here earlier and throw all of this out to give us something to do?”

“No, baby,” she laughed. “They didn’t do this at all.”

Continued from page 1

A confused Spitzer then demanded to

know who did.

“Nasty people,” interjected Ashanai

Williams.

“It was done by those who just don’t care

about this city,” said Greer.

Greer has been a resident of the westside

on and off for three decades and said

she can always remember trash on the

streets and in the neighborhoods.

“It was there but it wasn’t always so

bad,” she said. “It seems as if has really

picked up in the last few years.”

She said she has a hunch as to what had

prompted the increase and finds it all the

more heartbreaking.

“People just seem to not be in their right

minds with all of the drug use going on,”

said Greer. “It’s upsetting for a number of

reasons but we don’t need our children to

be living in filth because of their decisions.”

It was the discovery of used needles in

her neighborhood that prompted the group

of six to sign up for this year’s South-

Central Hilltop Cleanup on Sept. 28. Greer

said they had participated last year and

found it made them feel better about the

community.

“It’s just so great to see people out here,

trying to make a difference,” she said.

“That’s what is going to make our situation

change — people who care.”

The 10th annual cleanup began around

10 a.m. in front of Burroughs Elementary

School on S. Richardson Avenue. Though

some volunteers arrived earlier for coffee

and doughnuts, the crowd really started to

swell around that time, which warmed the

heart of organizer Lisa Boggs.

“It’s disheartening sometimes to see all

of this litter on the streets and all of the old

furniture dumped in our alleys,” said the

community activist. “And then you look

around and see people out there on their

morning walks picking up trash and then

you see a hundred volunteers come out

during a cleanup event and it restores your

hope.”

Boggs, who later swore that the trash on

the streets was not planted by event organizers,

said discarded items are a problem

everywhere, not just on the westside.

“It doesn’t just affect our neighborhood,

St.

or our city, or our state,” she said. “It’s all

over our country, all over the world, and

it’s suffocating our oceans.”

She said cleanup events like this help

make a small dent in a global problem.

“If just one person cleans up one block it

will make such a difference.”

And that is what the hundred volunteers

that morning did. For more than an

hour, dozens of small groups set out across

the area, picking up trash on the roads,

trash on the sidewalks, trash matted in

grass. Some even brought their own weed

trimmers to cut back on noxious overgrowth.

By noon, their section of Sullivant

Avenue (other organizations tackled different

parts of the westside) wasn’t spotless

but it was a vast improvement.

“They did a great job,” said William

Huffman, the operations manager for

Friends of the Hilltop.

He said while he harbors no belief it will

stay that way for long, people need to stay

persistent in their quest for change.

“They want you to give up,” he said. “We

can’t. And we won’t.”

He encouraged residents to stay the

course and to keep the pressure on city

leaders to invest more into the westside.

Recently, the city of Columbus

announced a comprehensive neighborhood

safety strategy which officials say will

“dedicate resources to prevention, enforcement,

and education” in order to cut down

on crime and revitalize the community.

Part of the strategy includes mapping 311

complaints to pin point illegal dumping hot

spots, reducing 300-gallon trash containers

to 90-gallons, and investing $500,000 to

expand safety cameras into select alleys.

Boggs said she has already seen a small

difference with these new initiatives and is

hopeful they will continue to build on the

progress.

“It’s very early but we can already see

some small changes.”

She said what would be beneficial is if

residents would call 311 if they have large

amounts of trash or unwanted furniture to

discard.

“They could also help by not littering,”

she added. “That would be terrific.”

Proceeds from the 5K will go toward the

future Prairie harvest festivals, as well as

the non-profit Pennies for Monarchs. This

group supports the conservation efforts for

the monarch butterfly and prairie lands

across the United States.

“After the 5K, the festival will be kicked

off at 10 a.m.,” said David Donofrio, member

of the board of directors for the Prairie

Harvest Festival. “This is the first year we

are having this event and the inspiration

came from the bicentennial the township is

celebrating this year. This is our last real

opportunity to celebrate this significant

event.”

The vision for the festival started over a

year ago by Prairie Township trustee

around the westside

also be held at YMCA beginning in

November.

Pumpkin Swim

The annual Prairie Township Pumpkin

Swim will take place at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30

p.m. on Oct. 20 at the Community Center,

5955 West Broad St. This event gives local

children the opportunity to swim in the

community center pool and pick out the

perfect pumpkin. Participants can then dry

off to decorate their pumpkin with paint

Cathy Schmelzer, according to Donofrio.

“Cathy felt like we needed to do a special

event that was unique to our township,”

Donofrio said. “We started discussing it

about a year ago and then after the first of

the year, we got started on planning.”

The board who is organizing the event is

made up of local leaders, residents, school

leaders and community stakeholders.

Among the activities that will take place

at the event include live entertainment, a

beer garden, carnival games and a variety

of contests. Some of the contests include

kickball and cornhole tournaments, pumpkin

painting, pumpkin carving, a pie bakeoff,

a chili cookoff and a photography contest.

and other art supplies. The cost to participate

is $7 for residents and non-residents.

Talent.” Prizes for the 5K and talent contest

will include ribbons, trophies and

other prizes.

“The third annual Prairie Township

Fire Department Food Truck and Fire

Prevention Festival also will be taking

place at the same time in celebration of

October being Fire Prevention Month,”

Donofrio said. “We will have food trucks on

hand, visitors can take a tour of the fire

department and get an up-close look at the

equipment the fire department uses.”

The festival will celebrate local crafts in

the community and will have more than 30

different vendors selling homemade products.

“This will be a fantastic opportunity to

support local community members and the

homemade crafts they will create,”

Donofrio said.

According to Donofrio, 50 percent of the

proceeds from the event will go back into

the community toward local schools, the

fire department, non-profits in the community,

the community center and the township.

difference in graduation requirements

from previous years. Those who are set to

graduate in the subsequent years, however,

will see a number of modifications.

tweaks,” said Superintendent Dr. Bill

Wise, “whereas the changes for the class of

2023 and beyond will be more significant.”

Members of the class of 2020 through

2022 will have to pass all mandatory high

school courses and electives and continue

to meet the standards in a number of pathways

in order to graduate.

The first pathway requires the completion

of one of the following: earning 18

graduation points on end of course exams;

earning a remediation free score on the

ACT or SAT; score 14 work ready points on

the WorkKeys, or earn a 12-point, industry

recognized credential or group of credentials.

The second pathway requires students

to meet at least two of the following

options: earn a 2.5 grade point average

during junior and senior year; complete a

Capstone project; accumulate 120 hours of

work or community service; or have three

or more credits through College Credit

Plus. Additional options in this pathway

including earning an industry recognized

credential, a WorkKeys score of three on

each test, an OhioMeansJobs readiness

seal or credit(s) and score of three or higher

on Advanced Placement exams.

The third pathway requires students to

complete a career technical program and

earn either proficiency on all WebXams, an

approved industry recognized credential or

accumulate 250 hours of workplace experience.

Students in the class of 2021 or 2022

who are on track to meet one of those pathways

may continue to use them to satisfy

graduation requirements, said Brad Faust,

the district’s assistant superintendent of

curriculum. They may also choose to follow

the two permanent requirements established

for the class of 2023 and beyond.

According to Faust, the two permanent

requirements are the passage of the state’s

Algebra I and English II test, (the state has

not determined the passage rate at this

one of which must be state defined. Faust

noted the specifics on the diploma seals

have also yet to be determined.

“We believe that we will be given more

guidance by the state when we meet (with

the state board of education) in October,”

he said.

Under the first permanent requirement,

students who take the Algebra I and

English II tests more than once and fail to

pass can demonstrate “competency”

through these following options: earning

credit for one math and/or English course

through College Credit Plus; demonstrate

career readiness and technical skill

through foundational and supporting

options; enter into a contract to enlist in

the military upon graduation.

Under the second permanent requirement,

students can earn any two of these

diploma seals: OhioMeansJobs Readiness,

State seal of Biliteracy, an industry recognized

credential, a College Ready seal, or a

military enlistment seal. Additional seals

include science, honors diploma, technology,

citizenship, fine and performing arts,

student engagement and community service.

Faust said he knows the requirements

for the class of 2023 and beyond have been

causing confusion but he is confident that

the district staff is up to taking on the challenge.

“There are many moving parts right

now and some of the details have not totally

been released by the state yet.”

Faust added that the district has a “dedicated”

staff that will help pull them forward

through any implementation bumps

in the road.

There is science behind our obsession with pumpkin

Life Moments

Christine Bryant

Every year around this time, my obsession

begins.

All things pumpkin.

Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin butter,

pumpkin candles, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin

pie Blizzards - I love it all.

Frankly, as we seem to be stuck in our

second summer and the leaves are still a

few weeks away from transforming into a

palette of warm reds, browns and oranges,

I could use some pumpkin to get me in the

fall spirit.

In fact, as I write this, I’m drinking a

pumpkin spice latte.

If you’re like me, you appreciate the

aroma and feeling you get when cinnamon,

nutmeg and clove attack your scent and

taste receptors. These sweet, warm spices

instantly sweep you away, giving you the

same comforts of hearing leaves rustling in

the wind and crunching under your feet on

a crisp, cool morning.

And here’s why you shouldn’t apologize

for your obsession with pumpkin.

It’s science.

You heard that right. Studies show that

we’re conditioned from a very early age to

love fall and everything associated with it.

Think about it. As a child, what are

some of our fondest memories? For some,

it’s going back to school and seeing friends

again. For others, it’s trekking through the

neighborhood with a plastic orange pumpkin

or pillow case from your bedroom full of

candy. Or, gathering around the dinner

table that’s stacked with comfort foods for

a Thanksgiving feast, followed by an afternoon

of football.

We associate these memories with

something we love and enjoy, and therefore

tie these memories to a specific season.

Even for adults, it marks a new beginning

for many. As summer comes to an end,

time turns into a clean slate. In fact, a

study published in the Journal of

Personality and Social Psychology found

there is a relationship between time and

motivation, and that seasons can serve as

temporal landmarks that structure our

perception of time.

There’s also the fact that many establishments

only offer special flavors associated

with a certain season (think peppermint

in the winter, or peach in the summer).

This has both economic and psychological

implications and may partially

explain why we’re especially drawn to a

certain flavor at a specific time of the year.

As it turns out, pumpkins also hold historical

significance in America. According

to the History Channel, pumpkins have

been grown in North America for 5,000

years.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

adds that pumpkins were cultivated independently

by indigenous people in North

America and South America, and that

researchers have found seeds at archaeological

sites dating back more than 6,000

years.

Pumpkins also helped sustain colonists

after the crops they brought with them

from Europe didn’t survive.

And while the most popular pumpkins

today are grown to be porch decor rather

than a staple in our diets, pumpkins are

still a $5-billion-a-year industry, according

to the foundation.

Thanks to our pumpkin-flavored staples

that appear on store shelves each year in

September, even thousands of years later

we still know how to enjoy pumpkin, even

when it doesn’t make sense (there’s recipes

out there for dishes like pumpkin chili and

pumpkin burgers).

So next time you feel a little guilty about

loving everything pumpkin or like you’re

conforming to a cultural phenomenon, just

remember, your pumpkin bliss is a little bit

of history, science, expert marketing and

just plain goodness all in one.

In Entertainment

There was a

tremendous amount

of buzz surrounding

“Brittany Runs a

Marathon” when it

premiered on the

festival circuit earlier

this year, so

much so that it was quickly snatched up by

Amazon Studios for a staggering $14 million.

While willing to take a chance on a

small indie, Amazon struggled with the

decision that all studios do regarding films

without an established base: Do they roll it

out slowly and hope word of mouth carries

it far or do they go nationwide and hope it

is not swallowed into the ether?

Amazon chose the former, releasing the

film in larger markets while sporadically

advertising in the small ones. This, unfortunately,

did not prove to be the best strategy

as the film came into the smaller markets

with the buzz of a solo bee in a vast

garden.

There is a high probability “Brittany

Runs a Marathon” will be out of the theaters

by the time this review comes to print

despite the fact that it literally just

arrived. And if by some chance it is still

there, do yourself a favor and go see it at

that very odd time. I don’t think you will

regret it.

Noted supporting actress Jillian Bell

(“Workaholics”, “22 Jump Street”) plays

the titular character, a close-to-30 something

whose life has stalled. In the first few

minutes, we get a sense of her long-held

daily patterns — waking up at noon, trying

to survive her dead-end job, cruising the

clubs for the best drinks and available

men, becoming sadder by the moment

while looking at her social media feed.

Wanting to address some slight concerns

with her concentration, Brittany

schedules an appointment with a highly

rated but cheap doctor in hopes of being

prescribed Adderall to cure her ailments.

What he gives her instead is advice to lose

weight. Feeling affronted by his determination

that she “shed the weight of a medium

sized working dog” off her body, she

resolves to push the recommendation to the

back of her mind.

At first, her method of ignoring the issue

seems to work (another long-held pattern,

we learn) but then she hits a very low point

in her life after a soul-crushing sexual

encounter and decides to make a true

change for the betterment of her life.

While “Brittany Runs a Marathon” may

seem like one of those awful makeover

films where lives are magically transformed

once pounds are shed and fashionable

clothes are purchased, the meaning

within is a little deeper and closer to reality.

This film, written and directed by Paul

Downs Coliazzo, is actually based on one of

his best friends and the utmost care is

shown with these sensitive subjects.

Brittany and her weight is not played for

laughs, nor is her emotional state/mental

health as one obsession (food for comfort)

manifests into another (exercise for selfrespect).

Though some serious topics are covered

within, there are plenty of laughs and

relatable scenarios to go around. While the

supporting cast of Michaela Watkins (the

nosey neighbor), Micha Stock (the beginner

jogger) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (the loafing

love interest) is great, it is Bell and her performance

that really drives this film. In

one of her first leading roles, Bell is

immensely engaging, playing Brittany

with warmth and joy just as easily as she

does with the uglier aspects of her personality

and insecurities. She isn’t always the

role model those making life changes are

perceived (or asked) to be, but she is entertaining,

maddening, and real; all of which

are portrayed deftly by Bell. In “Brittany

Runs a Marathon,” she is a wonder to

watch and I hope this film can propel her

into more starring roles.

Green Teens gain work experience in the garden

Nine Hilltop teens finished summer jobs

at the neighborhood’s Highland Youth

Garden and were surprised to walk away

with more than a paycheck. They also

gained valuable job skills and garden

know-how, experimented with healthy

cooking and adopted nutritious eating

habits. Four even secured garden jobs

through the school year.

“Something that surprised me a lot

about being a Green Teen was how much I

would actually learn,” said Courtney

Gearheart. “My favorite thing to do at the

garden is cook and learn new things. I plan

to use my new knowledge to begin a garden

and try growing myself.”

For the 2019/20 academic year, four

teens have been recruited to participate in

the Green Teens Grow program. This innovative

STEAM learning program, funded

by Battelle, trains teens to plan science and

math lessons then teach them to elementary

students through the garden’s afterschool

club and Saturday family activities.

The teens are working with a STEAM

educational coach to plan and design creative,

standards-based elementary curriculum

using role play, writing songs and

raps, designing experiments and games,

cooking, writing and visual arts. Garden

themes to be explored include measurement,

food webs, nutrition, plants, conservation,

garden planning, mapping, water

From top left: Demontay Torn, Nasro Somow, Delia Price, Americus Jones, Jenna

Gabbert; (bottom two) Luul Sheikh and Devonn Blizzard.

conservation, and ecosystems.

“We’ve been thrilled how these local

high schoolers are serving as education

assistants and learning how to manage

small groups of children, create programming,

and navigate the challenges of working

in a team,” said Katie Carey, the youth

garden educator. “They’re developing critical

skills while working on real world problems

and projects together.

“Maybe most importantly,” Carey said,

“all groups involved are shifting the way

they think about learning. Instead of practicing

flashcards or doing worksheets about

gardening or STEAM topics, they’re in the

garden doing them: measuring the height

of corn stalks, identifying different parts of

the plant, using a map to navigate landmarks

and items in the garden.”

Highland Youth Garden’s after-school

club meets on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

and engages students from Highland

Elementary and the Educational Academy

for Boys and Girls. The Saturday family

activities take place weekly from 11 a.m. to

1 p.m., in the garden and all central Ohio

youth and families are invited to participate.

According to the garden’s lead gardener

Charlie Richardson, the Green Teens summer

program was a big success.

“It was such an enriching experience for

these nine teens to learn about food so intimately,

to be involved in each process from

seed to market,” he said. “They learned so

much during the eight-week program and

we had a blast along the way. The Green

Teens Grow program is off to a great start.

I am looking forward to watching the teens

become leaders in the garden and in their

community.”

According to Richardson, during the

eight-week summer program, nine local

teens were paid to work in the garden 16

hours a week. They seeded, weeded,

watered, harvested, and learned about the

care and keeping of crops. Teens also participated

in running the garden’s booth at

the Westgate Farmer’s Market, learning

highly transferable skills like customer

service, money-handling and visual display.

Highland Youth Garden is celebrating

its 10th year in the Hilltop neighborhood, a

community challenged by low incomes, lack

of education and health issues. Founded in

2009, the garden works with more than 350

youth and their families on a regular basis.

In September, the garden was awarded the

sustainability award and the Boyd W.

Bowden award from Franklin Park

Conservatory’s Growing to Green program;

and in March, the garden was presented

the Local Food Champion Award by the

Columbus and Franklin County Local Food

Action Plan.

City names interim development director

Mayor Andrew Ginther announced

Chief Innovation Officer Michael Stevens

will serve as interim director of the

Columbus Department of Development

pending the departure of current Director

Steve Schoeny. Schoeny was named city

manager for the city of Upper Arlington

and is expected to transition into his new

role at the end of the month.

Schoeny served as development director

since 2013, and recent successes include

the $192 million North Market Tower project.

He was instrumental in the deal to

keep the Columbus Crew in Columbus,

helping to leverage the privately-funded

stadium project into a separate $200 million

Arena District expansion.

Michael Stevens, chief innovation officer

for the city since 2017, is spearheading

the Smart Columbus initiative aimed at

improving the quality of life and providing

ladders of opportunity for Columbus residents

through enhanced mobility options,

improved infrastructure and the application

of advanced technologies. Stevens will

continue to lead Smart Columbus while

serving as interim director.

Prior to serving as chief innovation officer,

Stevens worked as the deputy director

of the Columbus Department of

Development until being named the CEO

of Lake County Partners, a nonprofit economic-development

organization outside

Chicago, in 2012.

“Columbus’ economy is leading the

Midwest, and is one of the strongest in the

nation. I look forward to helping Columbus

continue to grow inclusively, so every resident

has the opportunity to share in our

success,” said Stevens. “I appreciate the

mayor’s confidence in me, and I am grateful

for the opportunity to serve in this

important role.”

Old movie theater could become auto sales lot

By Hannah Poling

Staff Writer

A zoning request has been made by Auto

Boutique Limited to turn the old movie theater

on Georgesville Square Drive into a

used auto sales lot.

Commissioner Mike McKay brought this

up at the Sept. 18 Westland Area

Commission meeting.

The movie theater, Regal Cinemas,

closed in early 2019 after operating on the

westside for more than 20 years.

“They don’t want to rezone, but they

want to basically amend the allotted uses

to allow for used auto sales, and they want

to turn the movie theater into a used car

lot,” said McKay.

The plan at this stage does not include

diagrams of what the company intends to

do with the property.

“All that I have to go on is the sentence

that says here’s what we want to do,” said

McKay.

If this request were to be accepted, the

zoning district would remain the same.

However, the current zoning status has an

exclusion for uses of auto sales which

would need to be amended to allow for auto

sales on the property.

The entire Georgesville Square

Shopping Center was rezoned back in 1994

with the exclusion of Lowes and Kroger.

There was one time in the past 25 years

when Wendy’s came forward and wanted

an amendment for the allowable building

materials they could utilize due to corporate

remodeling. Wendy’s request was

granted. Outside of that request, this

would be the second time the commissioners

would have been asked to make this

type of change.

McKay encouraged the commissioners

to think about it.

“We obviously don’t have to say yes to

anything,” he said.

In other news, three major grocers in

the area - Kroger, Walmart and Giant

Eagle have issued a new gun position.

Bill Steimer, vice chair of the commission,

said, “Because of recent events, the

shootings and such, they are openly discouraging,

or they are discouraging formally,

the open carry of weapons. Even though

individuals have the right to do so, they are

discouraging this just for the sake of trying

to keep things calm in the public.”

In addition, the Columbus City Council

has proposed a plan to place security lighting

along Hall Road between Georgesville

and Norton roads. This is part of the Hall

Road Street Lighting Improvement Project

that would install 64 aluminum LED lights

poles along the road. It has not yet been

determined when the lighting will be

installed.

The conditions in the area have been

deemed unsafe due to many pedestrians

walking on foot from their apartments to

different businesses and buildings.

According to commission member Nancy

Day-Achauer, the city has approved the

funding for it.

Volunteers are needed for

Hilltop Maintenance Day

By Christine Bryant

Staff Writer

Volunteers will spread out across the

Hilltop later this month to help elders with

fall clean-up projects.

Hilltop Maintenance Day, designated

for Ville on the Hill members, will take

place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 19.

Ville on the Hill is a new hub for residents

50 and older that provides a variety

of services for Hilltop-area residents. It’s a

membership-driven village that serves as a

resource hub and connects older residents

with services they need to remain independent.

Because several older residents have

requested help with fall clean-up projects

such as raking, mowing, pulling weeds and

cleaning up gardens, Ville on the Hill is

partnering with the Kiwanis Club of

Columbus to provide assistance, Ville on

the Hill director Barbara Camfield said.

However, because there is a high

demand for help with fall clean-up projects

in the area, there’s also a need for volunteers

to help meet those demands.

“The amount of volunteers that we get

will determine how many older adults that

we will be able to help,” Camfield said.

Volunteers should check in and receive

their assignments beginning at 8 a.m. at

Heart & Hope by Schoedinger, Hilltop

Chapel parking lot, 3030 W. Broad St. This

location will serve as the home base for the

day, and volunteers will return to the

chapel between noon and 12:30 p.m. for

Tax-Aide volunteers needed

The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program,

which provides free tax preparation,

primarily for senior citizens, at the Grove

City Church of the Nazarene and many

other locations across the state is seeking

volunteer tax preparers for next year.

Last tax season, Tax-Aide had to turn

away countless seniors because more people

wanted the service than could be

helped. Demand is expected to be even

greater next year due to ongoing changes

to the tax law.

Anyone who does his/her own taxes on a

commercially available program is an ideal

candidate for the volunteer opportunity.

Volunteers receive IRS-approved training.

They are asked to work at least one day a

week during the 10 to 11-week tax season.

For more information about volunteering,

contact William Evans at 614-885-

0938 or wlevans88@gmail.com. Those

interested may also visit the Ohio Tax-

Aide website at www.ohiotaxaide.org.

News and Notes

lunch and a debriefing.

Organizers will provide gloves and bags

to the volunteers. If volunteers have weed

wackers and other yard tools that they can

use during the day, Camfield says organizers

would appreciate if volunteers could

bring them.

While many requests involve weeding

flower beds, raking leaves and other projects

that spruce up residents’ yards, she

said there are some requests that are more

involved, such as installing a new storm

door and window caulking.

“There will need to be volunteers that

will be able to handle this work,” she said.

“The Columbus Kiwanis has donated funds

and will be bringing volunteers.”

Holding events such as this is important

to help keep residents in their homes for as

long as possible, Camfield says.

“There are 8,000 baby boomers in the

United States turning 65 every day,” she

said. “The villages are encouraging people

to know their neighbors and assist if they

can.”

So far, she says the response to villages

like Ville on the Hill have been overwhelmingly

positive.

“The need on the Hilltop is so great,” she

said. “Nearly 150 Hilltop older adults have

expressed interest in the Ville on the Hill

and that number is growing daily.”

Part Time CDL-B Driver

Located in Groveport, our company builds mobile medical clinics for universities,

hospitals, and government agencies. Built on a Freightliner M-2 chassis, finished

units are 29' to 40'.

Clients are scattered throughout the U.S. Our company delivers new units,

typically entailing a 2-3-day trip; includes hotel/food/flight back to Columbus.

Additionally, upgrades of in-use mobile units often require our company to

pick-up and return units to the client.

Given the high-value of the mobile units and the prestigious standing of our

clients, we seek careful, experienced drivers.

Company performs background checks and drug-screening tests as part of the

application process.

Part-time (as needed) job typically averages 1-2 trips monthly. $20/hour plus all

travel expenses.

Email personal background (or attach resume) with driving experience.

Please include your call-back phone number.
