Westgate Park was transformed into a<br />
place of mythical and magical creatures<br />
as dozens of canines, children and<br />
adults alike descended upon the westside<br />
destination for the annual Mums<br />
and Mummies event. The fall festival,<br />
which is a collaborative event from the<br />
Westgate Neighbors Association and<br />
Friends of Westgate Park, had craft<br />
tables, parades, haunted sack races<br />
and even a witch’s dance to celebrate<br />
the ghoulishly fun holiday. Top right,<br />

Overdose deaths<br />
rise on westside<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
An epidemic that has been plaguing the<br />
country continues to hit close to home.<br />
Recently, the Franklin County<br />
Coroner’s Office released its preliminary<br />
overdose death statistics for the first six<br />
months of <strong>2019</strong> and a local township has<br />
made the list for one of the highest number<br />
of overdose deaths in the county.<br />
Franklin Township, which is spread out<br />
over eight miles, had two zip codes on the<br />

Staff Writer<br />
At the Oct. 16 meeting, Westland Area<br />
Commission members approved a rezoning<br />
proposal to turn the old Regal Cinema into<br />
a used car lot.<br />
Auto Boutique Limited requested a plan<br />
to turn the closed movie theater at the<br />
Georgesville Square Shopping Center into<br />
a used car lot. The current zoning was<br />
passed in 1994. This zoning listed used car<br />
sales as an exclusion for the allowable uses,<br />
so they are requesting a rezone to amend<br />
the allowable uses.<br />
Auto Boutique Limited is a 5-year-old<br />
company which was started in Columbus.<br />
Alex Levitskiy, owner said, “We have<br />
currently outgrown our location on Wilson<br />
Road and have purchased this building for<br />
our new location which we desperately<br />
need to continue our growth.”<br />
Jeff Brown, an attorney representing<br />
Auto Boutique, said Georgesville Square is<br />
an ideal place for his client’s business to<br />
grow.<br />
“He needs a bigger piece of property,”<br />
said Brown. “This is a 13.6 acre tract. It<br />
has over a thousand parking spaces and it<br />
has an existing building. It’s right off a<br />
freeway intersection. It has frontage along<br />
the freeway, so it has visibility. It’s a perfect<br />
location for automotive use.”<br />
Levitskiy said that his company would<br />
be an economic asset to the community.<br />
“Almost 30 percent of our customers<br />
travel further than 50 miles away from our<br />
current locations. We have customers as<br />
far as West Virginia, Pennsylvania and<br />
New York. They come from all over to get a<br />
great deal,” he said. “We have the lowest<br />
prices and that’s what drives them to hop<br />
in their car and drive for four or five hours.<br />
When they come here, they are putting<br />
money right back into our economy, benefiting<br />
the local restaurants, hotels and<br />
other merchants.”<br />
The total investment for buying the<br />
property and doing the renovation, not<br />
including equipment, is about $3.1 million.<br />
The dealership has $2.3 million dollar purchase<br />
price in cash, so they would not need<br />
the preapproval for a loan.<br />
“We are talking about putting an appropriate<br />
use to a regional shopping center<br />
and increasing jobs. The city of Columbus<br />
lives and dies on its income tax. Sales tax<br />
over $330,000 a month, funds a lot of services.<br />
We are trying to bring something back<br />
that has died,” said Brown.<br />
Several residents in attendance had concerns<br />
about the proposal.<br />
“The economic future of Georgesville<br />
Square will not be enhanced by a parking<br />
lot packed full of cars. And the promise of<br />
greenspace, landscaping and free movies is<br />
just that - promises,” said Betty Jaynes,<br />
president of the Westgate Neighbors<br />
Association and 37-year resident of the<br />
westside.<br />
<strong>Westside</strong> resident Miranda Warner<br />
shared her concerns about the quality of<br />
life for the individuals who live in the area.<br />
“With all of the industrialization that’s<br />
going on, yes it’s good for the economy.<br />
What about the quality of the neighborhoods<br />
and what about the quality of life for<br />
the people who were already living here?”<br />
she asked.<br />
The motion to approve the request to<br />
rezone the property to allow for used car<br />
sales was passed 8-2, with one abstention.<br />
The proposal will move forward to<br />
Columbus City Council.<br />
In other news, Homeport, a non-profit<br />
housing development organization,<br />
requested a variance to build a multi-family<br />
development with 48 units in between<br />
Broad Street and Galloway Road.<br />
Homeport has been active in central<br />
Ohio for 30 years and provides affordable<br />
housing.<br />
“There is an enormous need in central<br />
Ohio for affordable housing, so we look for<br />
opportunities and places that make good<br />

real estate sales. We think this is such a<br />
location,” said Roy Lowenstein, a representative<br />
from Homeport.<br />
It was explained that the site is commercially<br />
zoned and Homeport is seeking a<br />
use variance.<br />
“The reason that we ask for a variance<br />
rather than to rezone is because we could<br />
be successful and get the zoning and then<br />
not be successful and get the financing and<br />
in which case we are not sure if we would<br />
be able to develop it,” said Lowenstein. “In<br />
Columbus, what City Council likes to do is<br />
rather than approve a rezoning that<br />
changes the zoning entirely if they issue a<br />
use variance that is specific in this case to<br />
Homeport in which if we were not successful<br />
with our financing plan the commercial<br />
use would still stay intact. So if we are successful<br />
with our financing, then we come<br />
back through the system and rezone the<br />
property.”<br />
The plan is for there to be a 30-unit<br />
three story walk up building and an 18-<br />
unit building with a variety of one, two and<br />
three bedroom units.<br />
Rather than having an access point on<br />
West Broad Street, it is planned to have<br />
the main access coming about 400 feet<br />
south of the intersection with Galloway<br />
Road at the south end of the property.<br />
There is also a turning lane on Galloway<br />
Road which could be used to assist with<br />
traffic. A secondary access point would be<br />
placed 200 feet south of the intersection.<br />
Homeport is also hoping to get sidewalks<br />
along the property and see if they<br />
can get the COTA bus to come up toward<br />
them a bit further.<br />
The motion was approved with a 9-2<br />
vote.<br />

“The drug epidemic continues to be an<br />
issue and has been for several years,” said<br />
Franklin Township trustee Aryeh Alex.<br />
“While we have done as much as possible to<br />
save lives, more needs to be done.”<br />
Among the efforts the township has<br />
made to help those impacted by the crisis is<br />
to have a drug drop box at the township<br />
hall at 2193 Frank Road, arm all first<br />
responders with Narcan to treat overdoses<br />
and train residents on how to give Narcan<br />
to someone suffering from an overdose.<br />
“The drug drop box helps get drugs off<br />
the streets,” Alex said. “The Narcan our<br />
first responders use saves lives and it’s<br />
important to also educate residents on how<br />
to give this lifesaving drug.”<br />
Narcan is a medication that is used to<br />
block the effects of opioids.<br />
Township officials went door-to-door<br />
inviting residents to a free training on how<br />
to give Narcan in case they witness someone<br />
having an overdose. According to Alex,<br />
approximately 30 residents attended the<br />
training.<br />
“What we are doing is saving lives, but<br />
it isn’t getting to the root of the problem,”<br />
Alex said. “Lack of action by the state and<br />
federal government on this issue has<br />
resulted in communities not having the<br />
resource they need to make real change.”<br />
Alex said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine<br />
and President Donald Trump need to provide<br />
communities with the funding needed<br />
to invest in mental health treatment,<br />
addiction treatment and other social services<br />
to end the drug addiction cycle.<br />
“It is wonderful that we received funding<br />
for Narcan and can use it to save lives,”<br />
Alex said. “However, as soon as people get<br />
treated, they are released from the hospital<br />
and are back doing the same thing. We<br />
need to get to the heart of why these people<br />
are doing these drugs and how we can help<br />
them escape this cycle.”<br />
The funding the township received for<br />
the Narcan came from grant the township<br />
applied for and Alex said they are grateful<br />
to have those grants because some communities<br />
do not even have that.<br />
The report from the Franklin County<br />
Coroner’s Office looked at overdose deaths<br />
from January 1 to June 30, <strong>2019</strong>. According<br />
to the report, the office saw 254 people die<br />
of overdoses, a 4 percent increase from the<br />
same time period in 2018.<br />
Opiate-related deaths accounted for 85<br />
percent of overdose deaths for the first half<br />
of <strong>2019</strong>, according to the report. Fueling<br />
this was fentanyl, which accounted for 75<br />
percent of all overdose deaths. Heroinrelated<br />
deaths accounted for 5 percent of<br />
all overdose deaths, a further decrease<br />
from the same period in 2018.

Prairie Township closer to opening sports complex<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The Galloway Road Sports Complex has<br />
officially completed phase one of the multiple<br />
year project. Now Prairie Township officials<br />
are discussing when to officially open<br />
the complex to the public.<br />
“While we are hosting youth soccer programs<br />
and did have a fishing program, the<br />
park is not officially open yet,” said Prairie<br />
Township Administrator Rob Peters. “We<br />
are going to be discussing with the board<br />
how they want to move forward with opening<br />
the complex.”<br />
The 111-acre sports complex features<br />
baseball fields, soccer fields, a walking trail<br />
and a fishing pond. Everything in phase<br />
one of the project is complete except for the<br />
baseball fields and installation of those is<br />
expected to be complete this fall.<br />
Besides the facilities highlighted above,<br />
phase one of the project also included a<br />

“The project will be completed in phases,<br />
so now we will start focusing on phase two<br />
of the project,” Peters said. “Phase two will<br />
include an access road and a portion of the<br />
parking lot.”<br />
Phase two of the project also will include<br />
an artificial turf field that will be designed<br />
specifically for individuals with special<br />
needs. This field would allow individuals<br />
with special needs to experience the joy<br />
and camaraderie that comes from being a<br />
part of a team and will be available to both<br />
children and adults.<br />
The field will have a hard surface and<br />
will be an artificial turf, according to township<br />
leadership. This would allow people in<br />
crutches or who use wheelchairs to more<br />
easily use the field and won’t be as restricting<br />
for them as a natural field would be.<br />

around the westside<br />
other field sports,” Peters said. “If the<br />
money is raised for this field, construction<br />
of it would start in 2020 during phase two<br />
of the project.”<br />
The township needs to raise approximately<br />
$2 million for the field and plans to<br />
have that raised by April 2020. Currently,<br />
the township has over $700,000 raised<br />
toward the project.<br />
The money raised for the field is<br />
through the Prairie Township Community<br />
Fund, a group that is funded under the<br />
umbrella of the Columbus Foundation, and<br />
allows community stakeholders to raise<br />
funds for projects within the township.<br />
The mission of the organization is to<br />
enhance the quality of life in the greater<br />
Prairie Township area by enriching traditions<br />
and supporting innovation through<br />
leadership and giving.<br />
The Columbus Foundation is a philanthropic<br />
advisor to 2,500 individuals, families<br />

Staff Writer<br />
District officials have approved a bid<br />
that will take South-Western City Schools<br />
another step closer toward the construction<br />
of four middle school buildings.<br />
At the Oct. 21 meeting, the board of education<br />
announced the selection of Schorr<br />
Architects, Inc. to oversee the design of<br />
Brookpark, Finland, Norton and Pleasant<br />
View middle schools. The approval of their<br />
bid continues the partnership between the<br />
two entities regarding school build projects.<br />
In addition to designing Jackson Middle<br />
School and the South-Western Career<br />
Academy, Schorr Architects also assisted<br />
in the design and build of 13 new elementary<br />
schools, the renovation of two others<br />
and a new high school. The latter project<br />
was a part of a voter approved bond issue<br />
that allowed the district to enter into a<br />
$260 million partnership with the Ohio<br />
Facilities Construction Commission in<br />
2012.<br />
Board President Mindy Garverick said<br />
she was pleased that the architectural firm<br />
will lead the second segment of the OFCC<br />
project.<br />
“I am thrilled to have them back on<br />
board,” she said.<br />
She added that their design of the massive<br />
elementary and high school build project<br />
and their professionalism during the<br />
process was a reflection of their hard work<br />
and dedication.<br />
Under the terms of the agreement, the<br />
district will pay the firm a professional<br />
design services fee of $7.29 million. In addition<br />
to design services, they will also oversee<br />
site geotechnical testing, site surveys<br />
and traffic impact studies.<br />
Tony Schorr and Michael Dingeldein,<br />
the project management lead and the<br />
architectural project design lead, respectively,<br />
attended the meeting to give a construction<br />
update report.<br />
According to Dingeldein, each of the new<br />
middle schools will be approximately<br />
112,812 square-feet and consist of 33,780<br />
square-feet of “academic core space.”<br />
He said the building staff will have a say<br />
in what that space will look like during the<br />
design process. He also said during recent<br />
discussions with the staff, they spoke about<br />
needing differentiated learning space,<br />
space for those with social and emotional<br />
issues, shared teaching learning space and<br />
space for decompression for teachers.<br />
“We had a lot of great feedback about<br />
how the learning space should be used,”<br />
said Dingeldein. “They brought up issues<br />
that I never would have thought of (without<br />
their input).”<br />
Board member David Donofrio said he<br />
thought it was exciting that the teachers<br />
will continue to have a voice during the<br />
design process, adding that it opens the<br />
door to many possibilities.<br />
Dingeldein also discussed the building<br />
process of the individual<br />
schools and some of the challenges<br />
they pose.<br />
Jackson Middle School will undergo renovations<br />
during the second phase of the<br />
$193 million OFCC project. Dingeldein said<br />
there will be an addition of roughly 8,000 to<br />
10,000 square-feet of additional teaching<br />
space.<br />
“We will not be disturbing the assets<br />
(that were built in the early 2000s),” he<br />
said.<br />
Norton Middle School will be built<br />
slightly north of the existing site and south<br />
of Norton Elementary, allowing for teachers,<br />
staff and buses to share existing lot<br />
space.<br />
Finland Middle School will also be built<br />
adjacent to the existing site, allowing<br />
teachers, staff and buses to share existing<br />
lot space with Franklin Woods<br />
Intermediate.<br />
Pleasant View Middle School will be<br />
built adjacent to Bolton Crossing<br />
Elementary and Brookpark will be built in<br />
the Beulah Park development. The city of<br />
Grove City and the district recently agreed<br />
to a swap where the city will purchase land<br />
for the construction of the middle school<br />
while the city will use the existing location<br />
on Park Street for recreational activities<br />
come 2022.<br />
Dingeldein said a major concern he has<br />
regarding the build is the cost of inflation.<br />
“It’s at 5 to 6 percent this year, which is<br />
very unusual.”<br />
He said the increase could be attributed<br />

to recently imposed tariffs on materials<br />
and goods and the availability of labor.<br />
He added that they will have to “get creative”<br />
to keep the project cost down and<br />
mentioned the use of pre-manufactured<br />
panels. He said there is a local company<br />
that makes pre-manufactured panels<br />
which would dramatically cut down on the<br />
cost of material delivery.<br />
Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise said the<br />
district is also concerned about the rise in<br />
inflation and will revisit the return on<br />
investments.<br />
“We have not made any decisions at this<br />
time,” he said.<br />
Wise added that a top priority is for all<br />
the classrooms and buildings to have equity.<br />
“A classroom is a classroom” he said.<br />
“Students should have the same opportunity<br />
to learn no matter where they live.”<br />
He said he remains confident that the<br />
district and its building partners will continue<br />
their phase one of mantra “on time<br />
and under budget.”<br />
“I don’t expect that to change due to the<br />
market.”<br />
The next step in the construction<br />
process is to review and approve construction<br />
bids. That is expected to take place<br />
later this year. Dingeldein said the start of<br />
the build project should begin in the summer<br />
of 2020 with a completion date of 2022.<br />
“We are thrilled to once again work with<br />
the district and excited for the next step in<br />
the process,” he said.
Former NFL player speaks at Bishop Ready for Spirit Breakfast<br />

He didn’t play football until his junior<br />
year at Bishop Ready, but when he did,<br />
Antoine Harris (class of 2000) showed the<br />
speed and grit that earned him All-State<br />
honors, a full football scholarship to the<br />
University of Louisville and a six-year<br />
career in the NFL, playing for the<br />
Tennessee Titans, the Atlanta Falcons and<br />
the Philadelphia Eagles. Injuries cut short<br />
his career but not his love of the game and<br />
for several summers, Harris has returned<br />
to his hometown and his alma mater to<br />
provide youth in the area an opportunity to<br />
take part in a free summer football camp<br />
held at Bishop Ready, where he serves as<br />
coach and motivator.<br />
As the keynote speaker for Ready’s<br />
annual Spirit Breakfast, Harris focused on<br />
the benefits of participating in sports:<br />
learning to work with others, to depend on<br />
others, to take responsibility for your<br />
actions, and to form life-long friendships.<br />
He also stressed that sports is but a small<br />
part of one’s life, whether you play on the<br />
professional level or not.<br />
To Harris, and what he hoped to pass on<br />
to the Ready students, faith, family, and<br />
friendships are what make a well-rounded,<br />
responsible person. He stressed the concept<br />
of the scholar/athlete, insisting that<br />
earning your way on a team, not only by<br />
your play but also by your academics, is<br />
the right way to do it.<br />

NFL veteran Antoine Harris, Bishop Ready class of 2000, is pictured here with the Bishop Ready football team. Harris was the<br />
keynote speaker for the school’s Spirit Breakfast.<br />
Before Harris went to college, he had<br />
never left the Columbus area. He now lives<br />
in Florida with his wife and two children.<br />
“It’s never too late,” Harris said, “to try<br />
something new and to make improvements<br />
in your life.”<br />
He encouraged Ready students to travel,<br />
to see places and meet people beyond<br />
their immediate home area.<br />
Harris plans to return to Bishop Ready<br />
next summer to coach another football<br />
camp for youngsters, giving back and helping<br />
others to reach their dreams.

Same story, different decade<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
Shortly after the off-beat dramedy<br />
“Shaun of the Dead” helped breathe new<br />
life into the zombie genre in 2004, the general<br />
public put it back in the grave. Book<br />
and movie lovers had turned their attention<br />
to beautiful undead creatures and<br />
other dystopian worlds, leaving little room<br />
for reanimated corpses to occupy space.<br />
Those feelings changed, however, with<br />
the strong interest in AMC’s adaptation of<br />
Robert Kirkman’s popular comic “The<br />
Walking Dead” as well as the release of a<br />
small-budget horror/comedy called<br />
“Zombieland.”<br />
When the latter debuted, movie and television<br />
studios held their breath as the box<br />

exhaled fumes of cash as it reignited the<br />
fuse of interest in the living dead. In the<br />
following years, “Zombieland” has continued<br />
to retain and gain a massive following<br />
of fans due to its humor, creative use of<br />
gore, and an excellent cast of actors who<br />
made it such an enjoyable film to watch.<br />
A decade has passed since the premiere<br />
of both movie and television show and<br />
interest in the genre has once again waned.<br />
Despite the lack of public want, AMC continues<br />
to create spin-offs of “The Walking<br />

not need a sequel. It ended with resolution,<br />
or as much as one can be found in an apocalyptic<br />
wasteland that is, and no further<br />
details were required or really desired. But<br />
because studios like to squeeze the life out<br />
of everything, here we are with yet another<br />
unnecessary follow-up to a perfectly great<br />
stand-alone.<br />
It takes place several years after the<br />
events in the first film and little has<br />
changed in the world. The dead are still<br />
being made, zombie kills of the week are<br />
still a thing and our little band of misfits<br />
are still together.<br />
Rather than roam the country looking<br />
for fellow survivors, the fearsome foursome<br />
have settled into the most unlikely of<br />
places — the White House. Tallahassee<br />
(Woody Harrelson) has declared himself<br />
president, bringing a “real dignity to the<br />
office,” Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has<br />
taken to shopping for hidden treasures to<br />
find the perfect engagement ring for his<br />
survivalists sweetheart Wichita (Emma<br />
Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) has<br />
been dealing with a found-family version of<br />
the seven-year-itch.<br />
For a while, things are stable at 1600<br />
Pennsylvania Avenue but their lives are<br />
upended when a member of the group<br />
decides to leave the nest in the cover of<br />
darkness. In the ensuing aftermath, new<br />

Alan is at the shelter<br />
waiting to meet you.<br />
This 1-year-old<br />
friendly guy was<br />
returned to the shelter<br />
because he<br />
played a little too<br />
rough with a senior<br />
dog companion. He’s<br />
not aggressive at all,<br />
but if he has a friend<br />
in the house, they should be ready for a highenergy,<br />
active partner. Get out of the house<br />
and meet Alan and enjoy this wonderful<br />
weather together. He is up for adoption at the<br />
Franklin County Dog Shelter.<br />

Alfalfa is a go-getter who needs lots of exercise and attention. He’s<br />
great with other dogs and just wants to play all day, so tennis balls and<br />
toys are a must. By the end of the day, he will cozy up and fall fast<br />
asleep. This sweet boy is awaiting is furever home. Come meet him<br />
today at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and fall head-over-paws.<br />

advanced zombies<br />
are discovered, and<br />
the squabbling band<br />
must come together<br />
once more to find<br />
the rogue in their<br />
family.<br />
While there is plenty of humor found<br />
within, most stemming from Harrelson’s<br />
cheeky character and the introduction of<br />
two new “love interests”, there is little deviation<br />
from the plot in the original movie<br />
which makes the sequel feel redundant.<br />
Despite the lingering stench of staleness,<br />
it was nice to check back in with the<br />
quartet. Each of the actors continue to play<br />
their characters with aplomb and their<br />
delight to be inhabiting these oddball survivors<br />
reaches those in the audience. They<br />
have fun with the (albeit dated) material<br />
and we have fun as a result; not as much as<br />
they are having, but you can find some joy<br />
watching this film nonetheless. Grade: C+<br />

Rubble has been<br />
returned twice to the<br />
shelter over the past<br />
couple weeks. This<br />
guy is high energy.<br />
He can also be a little<br />
snippy when he<br />
plays, which means<br />
he might not be great<br />
with smaller kids.<br />
Rubble needs an<br />
active home. He loves other dogs and wants<br />
to play with them non-stop. He’s a fast runner,<br />
and can jump about four feet into the air. Does<br />
your home have the energy to tire out<br />
Rubble? He’ll play fetch well after the sun has<br />
set. Meet this guy today at the county shelter.<br />

and valid state-issued photo identification card, military identification,<br />
copy of utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or<br />
government document showing your name and current address.<br />

Coming from a family of 11 children, by no means do I<br />
come from a family of wealth. My father was a Union carpenter<br />
and later became a superintendent while my mother stayed<br />
home to care for her family. We wore hand me downs and for<br />
dinner we ate every potato recipe imaginable. I raised my two<br />
children while working as a blue-collar Union construction<br />
laborer for 25 years and have worked as construction safety<br />
professional for the last 14 years. Along with being an athlete<br />
and musician, it has given me considerable insight of people<br />

A look at the candidates<br />
How to research the candidate that speaks to you<br />
Presidential elections may grab the national headlines,<br />
but local elections also have a big impact on voters’<br />
daily lives.<br />
Locally elected officials are typically much more<br />
accessible to voters, whose participation in local elections<br />
can bring about real change. With that in mind,<br />
here are some tips to prepare for Election Day,<br />
whether you are selecting state, county, town, provincial,<br />
labor union, or school officials.<br />
•Solidify your stance. The first step to casting your<br />
vote is deciding how you feel about key issues and candidates.<br />
Some voters back a particular political party,<br />
while others spend more time moving across party<br />
lines and standing with politicians who have likeminded<br />
goals and ideas. Make a list of the issues that<br />
you find most important and want addressed in this<br />
election. Then research the stance each candidate<br />
takes on the issues that most resonate with you.<br />
•Research the candidates. Conduct some preliminary<br />
research into each candidate running for office.<br />
Chances are their websites provide background information<br />
regarding their qualifications as well as their<br />
stances on certain issues. Many times newspapers will<br />
offer their own round-up on local candidates so you can<br />
get to know them further. Such information can save<br />
you the time and effort of looking into candidates on<br />
your own. Delve further when needed to see if the facts<br />
are correct. Examine public records for policies candidates<br />
supported to confirm if their ideals are similar to<br />
your own.<br />
•Ignore the polls. If you strongly support a candidate<br />
and his or her agenda, then stick with your preferences<br />
rather than relying on the polls. Polls may be<br />
used to sway indecisive voters. However, even though<br />
the polls may be indicating one thing, the real test of a<br />
candidate’s mettle is the end result come Election Day.<br />
•Attend a town hall meeting. Many local candidates<br />
interact with voters at informal town hall meetings.<br />
This is a great chance to assess a candidate, and provides<br />
voters the opportunity to have their voices heard<br />
and ask questions about the issues that concern them.<br />
You also may be able to watch candidate forums on television<br />
or online.<br />
•Stick to the issues. The best candidate is not necessarily<br />
the one with the biggest campaign war chest.<br />
Resist the temptation to be swayed by the flashiest<br />
signs or the best slogan. Pay more attention to the candidates’<br />
answers on tough questions.<br />

Stormont for Prairie<br />
Township Trustee<br />
Doug Stormont is a life long resident with 16 years of Leadership and<br />
commitment with proven results. Some of the major results are the Broad<br />
Street corridor project, Community Center, Galloway Sports Complex and<br />
now the deal with the City of Columbus to take over the Franklin County<br />
sewer/water in April of 2020. I personally saved the Township over<br />
$100,000 by tapping the water and sewer lines myself at the sports complex<br />
then overseeing the installation of the utility line using my contractor’s<br />
license. So I ask what have the other candidates done for you?<br />
Doug is the only candidate with the experience of managing the<br />
Township’s 23 million-dollar annual budget. Because of the strong management<br />
of township finances Prairie Township currently has a Standard and<br />
Poors AA rating.<br />
In the next year we will be revisiting the Property Maintenance Code and<br />
possible trash hauler contract. Which are very controversial issues. I would<br />
like to see it put to the voter’s to decide and not forced on you.<br />
Vote for Doug. It takes more then just talk to get things done.<br />

Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of<br />
color and fall from the trees is a favorite<br />
activity each fall. Drivers travel near and<br />
far to witness spectacular and colorful displays<br />
of fall foliage, hoping to catch the<br />
peak hues in their respective areas of the<br />
country.<br />
While falling leaves can be a sight to<br />
behold, those leaves can become a nuisance<br />
to drivers in various ways. Understanding<br />
certain inconveniences and safety risks<br />
posed by falling leaves can help motorists<br />
protect their vehicle and themselves.<br />
Staining<br />
Leaves can do more than just stain<br />
driveways; they also can damage a vehicle’s<br />
paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and<br />
other chemicals that leach out of the leaves<br />
stay on a car for an extended period of time,<br />
they can cause an outline stain and damage<br />
to the paint.<br />
It’s important to manually pick leaves<br />
off of the car’s surface right after they fall.<br />
Do not sweep them away; otherwise the<br />
leaves can scratch the paint surface. When<br />
Protect your vehicle from snow and ice<br />
Winter can be an unforgiving season.<br />
Freezing temperatures coupled with snow<br />
and ice can take its toll on people who live<br />
in climates where cold weather is a fact of<br />
winter life.<br />
While winter can test people’s patience,<br />
it also can be harsh on cars and trucks.<br />
Understanding what components of a vehicle<br />
can be compromised by dropping temperatures<br />
and snowy roads can help drivers<br />
take action to safeguard their automotive<br />
investments.<br />
While winter can wreak havoc on just<br />
about every part of a vehicle, there are<br />
some parts that seem to bear the brunt of<br />
Old Man Winter’s abuse. Properly servicing<br />
and caring for a car or truck can help.<br />
Drivers should take their vehicles for a<br />
tuneup and inspection before wintry<br />
weather arrives. A mechanic will examine<br />
the car battery and check antifreeze levels<br />
and make sure that the thermostat,<br />
defroster, brakes, and even wiper blades<br />
are working effectively. Have the tires<br />
inspected for adequate tread, which can<br />
make navigating roads safer. If the treads<br />
are worn, replace the tires.<br />
In addition to visiting their mechanics,<br />
drivers can perform some inspections and<br />
fixes themselves.<br />
•Check that all of the vehicle’s lights<br />
are operational so your car can be easily<br />
seen during inclement weather. Exchange<br />
your existing windshield washer fluid with<br />
one that will not freeze in cold conditions.<br />
Check the nozzles on the windshield-washer<br />
system routinely and clear out any<br />
blockages of ice or debris. While addressing<br />
windshield washer fluid, also replace worn<br />
out windshield wiper blades with ones that<br />
can withstand snow and icy weather.<br />
•A new coating of wax can serve as a<br />
shield against road salt, snow, sleet, and<br />
rain. Try a polymer wax to protect the<br />
paint. Whenever possible, rinse off salt and<br />
grime so it does not dry on the car and<br />
gradually wear away at the paint. Some<br />
drivers mistakenly believe that salt stops<br />
being a problem once it dries simply<br />
because moisture is the active ingredient<br />
for a corrosive reaction.<br />
•Have your tires’ alignment checked<br />
toward the end of winter or early spring. A<br />
season of traveling over pothole-ridden<br />
roads or hitting curbs buried under snow<br />
drifts can affect the alignment. Get everything<br />
back on track. Similarly, inspect tires<br />
routinely, as weather changes can affect<br />
tire pressure and strength.<br />
•Use a soft snow brush or a foam brush<br />
to clear snow off of the car. Avoid hard<br />
plastic scrapers you might use on your<br />
windshield, as they can scratch painted<br />
surfaces.<br />
•Try to park the vehicle in a garage or<br />
under a car port, each of which can protect<br />
cars and trucks from the often harsh elements<br />
of winter.<br />
Vehicles can be affected by the cold<br />
weather. Keep them running efficiently to<br />
prevent damage this winter.<br />
all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly<br />
wash and dry the vehicle.<br />
Should stains be present already, use a<br />
commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive<br />
paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a<br />
time.<br />
Clogging<br />
Leaves that fall can become trapped in<br />
air intake vents, eventually impeding flow<br />
and causing odors. Leaves that fall in the<br />
groove of the windshield by the windshield<br />
wipers should be removed. Use a high-powered<br />
shop vacuum to remove any leaves<br />
that are imbedded in the venting.<br />
Check other areas of the car where<br />
leaves can become problematic, such as<br />
under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust<br />
pipe.<br />
Slippery surfaces<br />
Wet leaves on the surface of roadways<br />
can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make<br />
roadways quite slippery, even as slippery<br />
as roadways when snow is falling. Drivers<br />
should slow down when roads are covered<br />
with wet leaves and take turns and offramps<br />
more carefully.<br />
Dry leaves also can pose problems, as<br />
they tend to accumulate at the edges of<br />
roads, where they easily can obscure curbs<br />
or street markings. Leaves may fill potholes,<br />
giving the false impression that a<br />
road is smooth and causing damage to tires<br />
