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 />

By Hannah Poling<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 />

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 />

By Dedra Cordle<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.

In Entertainment<br />

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 />

Pets of the week<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 />

Voter ID required<br />

Ohio voters are now required to provide proof of identity before voting.<br />

The form of identification that you may use includes your current<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 />

(Note: You cannot use as proof of identification a notice that the<br />

board of elections mailed to you.) If you do not have, or fail or refuse to<br />

provide, the required proof of identity, you may cast a provisional ballot.<br />

Every voter must provide proof of identity at the time of voting. A<br />

person who casts a provisional ballot and does not provide acceptable<br />

proof of identity at the time of voting is allowed to provide such proof<br />

within 10 days after the election, in accordance with law.<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 />

from different social, economic and cultural backgrounds.<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 />

FALL AUTO CARE<br />

Falling leaves can create a beautiful safety hazard<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 />
