City enacts golf

cart regulations

By Andrea Cordle

Southwest Editor

“If they want to be legal and, on the

road, rules will have to be followed,” said

Grove City Councilman Jeff Davis.

Davis was talking about the city’s new

legislation on low-speed and under speed

vehicles, more commonly referred to as

golf carts.

At the Oct. 21 meeting, Grove City

Council unanimously approved legislation

to regulate golf carts and similar low speed

On Oct. 28, more than 70 players on the Central Crossing High School football teams participated in a fabric cutting event for

The Turban Project, a local non-profit which makes and donates masks and head wear for cancer patients throughout the world.

Here, seniors (from left to right) Anthony Lowe, Tye Bradley and Jalen Coles meticulously line up the Pikachu print to achieve

straight cutting.

Cutting cloth for cancer patients

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

As a wide receiver on the Central

Crossing High School varsity football

team, Anthony Lowe is used to running

patterns. As cornerbacks, Tye Bradley

and Jalen Coles are used to identifying

them. But the trio had to admit they were

out of their depth as they laid their eyes

on an entirely new one.

Draped over the table before them in

the school’s cafeteria was a festively

adorned pattern of fabric complete with

renderings of Pikachu, one of the more

popular Pokémon characters. To their

right were these things called rotary cutters

and fabric shears and to their left

were grid rulers to help them make the

perfect cut. Though the instructions

seemed basic enough — cut out rectangles

until the sheet of fabric is used — the

seniors were hesitant to begin.

“I have no idea what I am doing,” said

Coles. “I have never once cut fabric, or

even thought about cutting fabric, in my

life.”

“Me neither,” said Bradley.

“Not me,” said Lowe as his teammates

pulled the fabric tight so he could make a

cut. “But we’re going to try our best.”

All around them, the scene was the

same: teenage boys sitting around tables

with rotary cutters around their fingers,

bright cotton patterns before them and a

look of caution mixed with interest on

their faces.

“It’s been fun to watch them do this,”

said Trevor White, head coach of the varsity

football team. “Sewing and cutting is

not traditionally our ball of wax.”

It was early in the football season last

year when White envisioned this scenario.

Well, maybe not this exact scenario

but something quite similar.

“I wanted to get them more involved in

volunteerism,” he said. “I always tell

them that it doesn’t matter what their

record is on the field, that what matters is

what they do off of it.”

At that time, he challenged them to

raise funds for breast cancer awareness —

October is the month they wear pink on

“It might be because there have been so

many of us affected by cancer,” White said.

“Some of them lost loved ones, some have

loved ones going through it, so it was really

important to them that they do as much as

they could.”

Hundreds of dollars were raised with all

the proceeds going to The Turban Project, a

local non-profit organization that makes

free surgical masks and fashionable head

wear for cancer patients throughout the

world.

“Coach White told me that he wanted to

find an organization where 100 percent of

their funds went toward the cause and was

not broken up to go to executives,” said

Tanya Tiegler, president of The

Touchdown Club. “So I looked around

online and discovered this wonderful organization.”

When they presented the check to the

organization for $700 during halftime of a

game last year, they decided raising funds

was just not enough.

“We wanted them to get a hands-on

experience,” said

Tiegler. “We wanted

them to really know

vehicles.

“Most golf carts you see on the road are not legal,”

said Stephen Smith, law director. “This legislation

gives residents a path to make them legal.”

Smith said the legislation stems from people using

golf carts on public streets and on city bike paths. The

law director said people are not just using the carts to

drive down their residential street, they are using

them to run to the grocery store

or stop by a local park.

around the southwest

“The reality is, they are out

there, and we want to ensure

they are safe for the occupant as

well as the general public,” said

Smith.

Under the approved ordinance,

the city would strictly

prohibit the low-speed vehicles

from main thoroughfares in

Grove City, such as Broadway,

Stringtown Road and London-

Groveport Road. The legislation

also requires that the golf cart

operator have a valid driver’s

license and proof of insurance.

If a golf cart driver wanted to

take the vehicle on a street with

a 35 mile per hour speed limit,

that cart would have to be

inspected by the Grove City

Division of Police or another law

enforcement agency. The cart

would have to be equipped with

safety features such as properly

lives of others.”

After some scheduling conflicts, the

school and the organization set up a date in

late October where yards of fabric would be

brought to school in order for the members

of the varsity, junior varsity and freshman

teams to become ‘volunteer angels.’

“That is what I call anyone who has a

hand in creating the masks and head wear

for those in need,” said Kathy Braidich,

founder of The Turban Project. “They are

true angels to me.”

Because a vast majority of the team

were novice art and crafters, they were

assigned to cut fabric which would be made

into surgical masks for men, women and

children.

“We didn’t want to overwhelm them

when they are in the very beginning

stages,” said volunteer Bet Brown. “As you

can see, there is not a sewing machine in

sight.”

For more than an hour, the team meticulously

attacked the variety of fabric patterns,

cutting out more than 600 front-facing

masks to be delivered to their more

skilled volunteer angel counterparts. When

they arrive at their destination, the expert

crafters will add a flannel backing and

elastic bands to go over the ears and then

they will be shipped off to more than 40

hospitals and cancers centers around the

country.

As Braidich looked around at the cafeteria

filled with teenage boys carefully cutting

away, she said she hoped they realized

how much of an impact they are making on

the lives of others.

“It may not strike them at this moment

that what they are doing is important,” she

said, “but what they should know is they

will be putting a smile on the face of someone

who desperately needs it.”

In addition to delivering surgical/medical

masks and head wear to hospitals, The

Turban Project will also ship them to individual

homes upon request.

lights, taillights and turn signals. The cart would also

need a windshield, a review mirror, seatbelts and a

front and rear license plate.

Smith said most of the golf carts on the roads today

do not meet these safety standards.

Even though council unanimously approved the legislation

to regulate low speed vehicles, some had concerns

about the new rules.

Councilman Roby Schottke said he is concerned

about how this legislation would impact the Pinnacle

community; an area built around a golf course. He said

residents there expect to use their golf carts on the

streets or bike paths to get to the golf course. He also

said some carts may not easily convert so that they follow

the law.

Smith argued that the golf carts are not legal now,

nor have they ever been under the Ohio revised code.

“The residents are not in a worse position now,” said

Smith. “Now, they have a way to make them legal.”

Davis said he would not have a problem with the

golf carts staying within the confines of a neighborhood,

where the speed limit is 25 miles per hour. He

did express concern with allowing the legal carts on

roads that allow for 35 miles per hour speed.

“Golf carts disrupt traffic. They do not go 35 miles

per hour,” said Davis.

Councilman Ted Berry agreed, saying golf carts

slow traffic and drivers cannot go around them as they

could with a bicycle.

“Driving a golf cart during rush hour traffic is not a

smart thing,” said Berry.

Though council approved the legislation as presented

by the city’s administration, council members could

revisit the issue to address the carts traveling on roads

with a 35 mile per hour speed limit.

Community Focus

Southwest Library asks

voters for renewal levy

By Christine Bryant

Staff Writer

The November election may be just days

away, but Southwest Public Libraries is

already planning for next March when it

plans to put a 1-mill renewal levy on the

spring ballot.

The current levy that it will replace,

which expires at the end of 2020, generates

$2.5 million annually and represents

approximately 40 percent of the library’s

budget, said Mark Shaw, director of

Southwest Public Libraries.

A renewal means property owners in

the communities the library system serves

would see no tax increase. Per $100,000

property valuation, homeowners would

continue paying $31.05 per year, or $2.58

per month, until the 10-year levy expires.

The library’s district includes four townships

in southwestern Franklin County:

Jackson Township (Grove City and

Urbancrest), Prairie Township (Lincoln

Village, Galloway and the Westland area),

Pleasant Township (Harrisburg and

Darbydale) and Franklin Township.

If approved, funds generated by the levy

would go toward the operation of the

library to pay for materials, building maintenance

and operations, as well as library

Chamber Singers “Celebrate”

Grove City Chamber Singers will present

their fall concert “Celebrate!” on

Sunday Nov. 17 at 3:30 pm at the Grove

City United Methodist Church, 2684

Columbus St. Presenting a variety of music

programs, Shaw said.

“We think renewal of the 1-mill levy

represents a great bargain for the communities

we serve, and gives them access to

millions of items through our partnership

with other libraries, access to meeting

rooms, access to quiet study space, access

to free internet and access to programming

for all ages,” he said.

Shaw says the library system’s board of

trustees opted for a straight renewal to

avoid increasing taxes on the district’s taxpayers.

If voters do not approve the 1-mill

levy renewal, Shaw says tough decisions

will lie ahead.

“Since the levy represents 40 percent of

the library’s budget, the loss of such a large

chunk of funding would mean deep and

damaging budget cuts,” he said. “But we

believe we have been good stewards of the

public’s money and that the community

will see that and vote to renew the levy.”

The Ohio Primary date in the spring is

set for March 17, 2020. Property owners

can determine how much they pay for the

current 1-mill library tax by going to

mator and entering their address. Because

it is a renewal, the annual amount will

remain the same if voters approve the

spring levy.

start of their 31st season. Special guests

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.

From Feb. 1 through April 15, 10 volunteers

prepared more than 600 federal and

state tax returns at the Grove City Church

of the Nazarene, saving clients an estimated

$120,000 in tax preparation fees.

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.

Trustees review location for burn lab

By Hannah Poling

Staff Writer

The Columbus State Community College burn lab

was again addressed at the Oct. 22 Pleasant Township

board meeting.

The college has proposed moving the burn lab from

its current location on Alkire Road to behind the

Pleasant Township Fire Department on Norton Road.

Jack McCoy, the coordinator for the school’s southwest

campus at Bolton Field, met with Robert Bausch

of the road department on to come up with a potential

location to place the lab. They discussed the possibility

of placing the lab behind the township’s salt barn.

“We still have a number of hurdles to overcome with

the engineers before coming back before the board for

consideration,” said Fire Chief Brian Taylor.

The South-Western City Schools District is also considering

adopting a new high school program for

seniors to begin fire training. It was mentioned that if

South-Western is going to use the lab for a class, it

would make more sense to put the building on their

land since they have more space than the fire department.

The thought is that if the district would be using

it for their students, they would be using the building

more frequently than the fire department.

An option of placing the burn lab on the Pleasant

View Middle School property was also discussed.

“I think that would ease the concerns of the residents

and there’s not really any homes nearby that

would be affected by the smoke. That might be a good

location,” said Taylor.

Nothing has been decided at this time. Taylor

relayed he would need to speak to McCoy about the

possibilities before a determination could be made.

In other news, a short ceremony was recently held

at the Pleasant Township Fire Department to welcome

a new fire engine.

The ceremony included remarks from Taylor and a

short service from Chaplain Larry Baker who blessed

the truck as well as the members of the fire department.

Members of the fire department then conducted

a wet-down ceremony washing the new truck with

water from the old truck and pushed the truck into the

bay. A few hours after the truck was placed into service

the new engine took its first run.

Children Services levy on the ballot

By Christine Bryant

Staff Writer

A renewal levy on the Nov. 5 ballot will

continue funding for a public agency that

focuses on strengthening families in

Franklin County.

The current tax issue that provides

funding to Franklin County Children

Services will expire at the end of this year.

If voters approve the 3.1-mill levy (Issue

10) in November, they will extend funding

to the agency for another 10 years.

Expected to generate more than $85.6

million annually, Issue 10 currently costs

property owners in Franklin County about

$84.50 per $100,000 in valuation. This

amount would not change if voters approve

the renewal.

Deborrha Armstrong, communications

director for Franklin County Children

Services, says nearly two-thirds of the

agency’s annual budget of $212 million is

funded through two levies. In 2014, voters

approved a separate 1.9-mill, 10-year levy.

Each year, the agency serves more than

30,000 abused and neglected children. In

2018, it placed more than 2,300 in foster

care and almost 2,000 with relatives. The

remaining number of children are served

within their own families, she said.

Areas of focus have included the opioid

crisis and the impact of it on Franklin

County families, as well as the effects trauma

events have on children and families.

For information on the Franklin County

Children Services renewal levy, go to committee4children.com.

An updated ballot levy estimator tool to

help residents understand how levies and

bonds on the November ballot will affect

their taxes is now available on Franklin

County Auditor Michael Stinziano’s website.

“The Franklin County Auditor’s office

wants to provide residents with accurate,

reliable information so they can make

informed decisions,” Stinziano said. “The

ballot levy estimator is part of making the

auditor’s office transparent, accessible and

accountable to the people of Franklin

County, and helping to educate voters.”

Keep Mayor Stage

working for Grove City

The community support I have received during the years as Mayor has

been truly appreciated and humbling. Once again I’m asking for your support

to re-elect me November 5th. This will allow me to assist in the further

improvement of our now regionally recognized full-service safe community.

Our recent successes, accomplished together, include two new hospitals,

a new state of the art library, an increase of over 5,000 jobs, and an increase

in green space to nearly 1,000 acres, with no new city taxes. We have truly

been blessed.

Many of our foundational obligations I promise will be maintained

including upholding our strong financial position through a conservative

fiscal policy. We will continue to strengthen our efforts to seek employers

offering competitive wages, upscale restaurants and continued improvements

in our infrastructure. Also, I promise to stay engaged with the Mid-

Ohio Regional Planning Commission.

I would appreciate your vote. Mayor Ike Stage

The Reel Deal

Dedra Cordle

There I was,

perched on the edge

of my seat as the

newly released horror

film “Countdown”

neared its final act. I

had been that way

for a while by then, coiling tighter and

ready to spring apart. What had brought

me to that state was not a full-bodied

engagement of the viewing experience but

rather an overwhelming desire to escape

this nightmare of a movie.

As someone who loves the horror genre,

I have seen my fair share of unremarkable

films and I have to say that “Countdown” is

right up there with the worst of them.

Despite its semi-interesting premise, there

is a whole lotta nothing going on in this

film, so much so that it was hard to find

even a sliver of entertainment value.

It follows a young nurse named Quinn

(Elizabeth Lail) who befriends a patient

slated for surgery. She assures the nervous

teen that he is in good hands at the hospital

but he insists he is going to die during

the operation. After some prompting, he

tells her he learned the date of his death

through an app called Countdown and only

has hours to live.

Thinking him silly for believing such a

thing, she once again reassures him that

everything will be OK and then promptly

tells her coworkers about the app so they

can download it for themselves. Turns out

she drew the short end of the app stick as

she only has days whereas they have

decades.

As the hours pass, Quinn slowly starts

to become more freaked out and tries to

delete the app from her phone. This makes

the app unhappy and it starts to give frequent

prompts of when she is going to die.

Thinking she can outsmart the app, she

gets a new phone but it installs itself onto

her new device. Then she starts seeing

shadowy figures that become more aggressive

as the clock counts down.

In Entertainment

A whole lotta nothing in “Countdown”

With the help of a hot stranger with

similar app problems, a surly younger sister

with similar app problems and a hip

priest with inexplicable knowledge of similar

app problems, the quartet set out to

cheat death by technological advancement.

There were only a few ways the resolution

of the film could go — human app creator

who stalks in real life rather than data

mines and sells your information for profit

for life versus curses and demons — and you

can be assured it does not travel the less

worn route. Had writer/director Justin Dec

decided to take the horror path less travelled

perhaps it would have been a smidge

more entertaining. Alas, it does not happen

and we are left with a paint-by-the-numbers

spectral hauntings that make little

sense upon minor reflection.

The advancing technological world is

ripe for the picking in the horror genre, and

this cursed app is just the latest example of

them tapping into the growing sense of

unease. Due to a lack of originality,

“Countdown” doesn’t truly work in that


sense though it does try to skim the surface

from time to time. It never lingers long in

those depths, however, preferring to go for

the obvious jump scares instead of allowing

the brief commentary on selling aspects of

ourselves for popular trends to sink in.

Pet Corner

Pets of the week

Melody came to the

county shelter after a

divorce broke up her

family. She’s been at

the shelter since

August and is ready

to find her forever

home. She should

probably be the only

dog in the home as

she can be reactive

to other dogs and has been muzzled in playgroup.

Do you have the right home for

Melody? She is available at the Franklin

County Dog Shelter.

FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com

Agent J can be a little

timid at first but

once you pet him, he

warms up super fast.

And if you have a

laser light he forgets

all worries. He loves

the laser light and

will even run on the

cat exercise wheel

when you combine it

with a laser light. This

fella can run fast. Let him show you how sweet

(and fast) he is. Come meet him at the Colony

Cats cage-free Adoption Center, 2740

Festival Lane in Dublin.

FYI: www.colonycats.org

These furry friends are available

for adoption at local

rescues and shelters

Wink and Blink -

Wink, a one-eyed, 6-

month-old boy was a

rescued stray along

with his sister, Blink.

Blink wasn’t as fortunate

as Wink as she

lost both of her eyes.

Wink and Blink came

to rescue with severe

eye infections when

taken from the streets. But they’re the lucky

ones as their other siblings didn’t survive.

Come meet these adorable siblings at the

Colony Cats adoption center.

FYI: www.colonycats.org

Mamas is still at the

shelter. She is a very

sweet girl who loves

to snuggle. She loves

everyone she meets

and likes to play

fetch. Mamas must

be the only pet in the

household as she is

the Queen Bee and

does not like to share

attention. Come meet her at the Franklin

County Dog Shelter.
