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.”

WASTE WARRIORS 

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,

Free fresh fruit and vegetables will be 

distributed on Oct. 12 to qualified, lowincome 

Franklin County residents. The 

fresh produce will be available at Central 

Baptist Church, 1955 Frank Road, beginning 

at 10:30 a.m. To assist in registration,

St. Aloysis will host a free community

month from 2 to 4 p.m. at 2165 W. Broad 

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.”


New location for Greater Hilltop

Beginning in November, the Greater 

Hilltop Area Commission will meet at the 

Hilltop YMCA, 2879 Valleyview Drive.

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 


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.

There also will be a Prairie’s Got Talent 

contest that will emulate “America’s Got 

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.

Recent changes to state graduation 

requirements were presented and discussed 

at the South-Western City Schools 

Board of Education meeting on Sept. 23. 

District officials say the members of the 

class of 2020 through 2022 will see a minimal 

difference in graduation requirements 

from previous years. Those who are set to 

graduate in the subsequent years, however, 

will see a number of modifications. 

“The requirements for our sophomores, 

juniors and seniors will essentially be the 

same as last year with some minor

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

Revolutionary War. Legend has it that the 

house served as General William H.

the War of 1812. The ceremony and a program

time) and acquiring two “diploma seals,” 

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.

Opinion Page 

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.”
