Keep on

running

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

Less than a year after Laura Kaulen’s

body helped propel her across the finish

line in the hottest U.S. Olympic Team

Marathon Trials on record, it began to

rebel against her.

Having been a long distance runner

since joining her middle school’s crosscountry

team, Kaulen was used to the

aches and pains, to that feeling of having

accomplished something good and hard.

But there was nothing good about the

feeling spreading throughout her body.

“It was sheer exhaustion,” she said.

“Just this overwhelming sensation of

lethargy.”

She could not understand what was

happening, nor why it was happening; it

didn’t make any sense. She was in the

middle of making plans for upcoming

races and still basking in the glow of having

completed the grueling Olympic

marathon trials in Los Angeles.

So she did what she had been trained

to do and tried to work through the listlessness.

She figured out she could run

her household and run her special education

classes at Central Crossing High

School, but she couldn’t run and she

couldn’t run away from her body.

“It was one of the lowest points of my

life,” she said. “I went to a number of doctors

to help me figure out what was going

on and they couldn’t offer me anything

conclusive.”

Over time, Kaulen became more

depressed and started gaining weight.

Then came the headaches, the dizzy

spells, the lowering and speeding of her

heart rate and the drops and spikes in

her blood pressure.

Though scared, she was determined to

figure out what was happening. She

made appointments with more medical

professionals and finally, in 2017,

received a diagnosis: chronic fatigue syndrome

and hypothalamic dysfunction.

“I was happy that I had a name for

After overcoming a debilitating illness that left the avid distance runner sidelined for

18 months, Laura Kaulen recently qualified to compete at the U.S. Olympic Team

Marathon Trials in late February. Her appearance in Atlanta, Ga., will mark the second

time the special education teacher at Central Crossing High School has qualified for

the Olympic Trials.

what I was going through, but I knew I

would probably never be able to run again

with it,” she said.

Since the age of 6, since joining a local

recreational center’s track and field program

in Garfield Heights, running had

been a part of her life. It propelled her to

numerous records in high school, to

Youngstown State University where she

became the school’s first female runner in

cross-country history to compete in the

NCAA Championship and to the fastest

time in Erie’s Marathon’s history for

women, clocking in at two hours, 42 minutes

and 12 seconds. That score helped

qualify her to her first U.S. Olympic Team

Marathon Trials in 2016.

Running had provided Kaulen with so

much — bonding time with her husband

and three children, time to clear her head,

to plan for and accomplish goals — and

now it was being taken away from her by

her own body.

“It was hard to adjust to this new reality,”

she said. “I had done so much

research after my diagnosis and learned

that most people do not fully recover from

chronic fatigue syndrome.”

But she was one of the fortunate few.

Under her doctor’s care, Kaulen was

able to slowly get back to a normal functioning

level with the help of thyroid medication,

vitamins and supplements and

some dietary changes. Under the care of

her long-time running coach, Brenda

Hawley, she began to find her joy in the

sport again after being sidelined for 18

months.

In October of 2018, she ran and completed

had before; visiting spots in Dublin, the

track at Central Crossing and the hills at

Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park.

Three months ago, she competed at the

Chicago Marathon, crossing the finish line

in two hours, 42 minutes and 48 seconds.

According to the qualifying time set by

track and field’s governing body, the

women’s Olympic Standard is two hours,

37 minutes for the A group and two hours

and 45 minutes for the B group. With her

time at the Chicago Marathon, she qualified

for the Feb. 29 Olympic Marathon

Trials in Atlanta, joining several hundred

other elite runners across the country.

Unlike many of her peers, she does not

harbor dreams of making the U.S. Olympic

team.

“Only the top three finishers from the

men’s group and the women’s group will go

on to compete at Tokyo,” she said. “I am

nowhere near the top three. I would say I’m

more along the top 100 or 200.

“I am, however, extremely happy to

have made it to the trials.”

After the trials, she plans to compete at

the Boston Marathon in April where she

has been accepted into the Elite Master’s

field and then it’s onto the Masters

Outdoor World Track and Field

Championships in Toronto this summer.

She said like the upcoming trials, she

has no goals other than to cross the finish

line in a good time — and to have a good

time. And maybe, along the way, she’ll

begin to think about the 2024 Olympic

Marathon Trials.

That you have to keep going and never say

mile service. The program is similar to other ride sharing

services like Uber of Lyft but within a defined zone

in the city. Zone one, which was launched last summer,

covers Mount Carmel Grove City, businesses in

South Park and along State Route 665, Mid-Ohio

Foodbank and the Grove City Park and Ride.

A resident could use a mobile app or call to arrange

for a COTA vehicle to pick them up either at home for

a fee or from a traditional COTA bus stop for free.

“There is increased demand for greater mobility

options across many of our central Ohio communities,

including Grove City,” said Joanna Pinkerton, president

of COTA. “We are proud to pilot this innovative

service under the unique COTA Plus brand, and to

work with public and private entities in the future to

solve mobility challenges.”

COTA and the city began the program with expansion

in mind.

When the micro-transit pilot program began, it cost

a total of $360,000 to launch the first coverage zone.

COTA and the city split the cost for the service that

was scheduled to run from July

15, 2019 to July 14, 2020.

This year, COTA and city

leaders were to consider launching

a second coverage zone that

would include the South-

Western Career Academy,

downtown Grove City, the village

of Urbancrest and the Evans Senior Center.

However, the current legislation says that for the second

year of the program, the city and COTA would like

to extend the service city-wide.

“COTA and Grove City have a long history of working

together and successfully addressing the everchanging

transportation needs of our growing community,”

said Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage.

According to the legislation, the city and COTA will

share the cost equally for the expanded service.

Currently, residents and employees can travel

within the designated zone from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday through Friday, including service to Mount

Carmel Grove City. Customers can request a ride

using the COTA Plus mobile app or by calling COTA

customer support at 614-308-4400, and a six-person

vehicle, operated by a COTA driver, will respond and

arrive within 15 minutes.

Customers who book a trip with COTA Plus will not

pay additional fare if connecting to a scheduled bus

route. If a customer books a trip point-to-point without

using the traditional bus service, they will pay a $3

fare.

The legislation to expand the micro-transit service

city-wide is scheduled to have its second reading and

reading and public hearing on Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. at City

Hall.

College readiness program to expand in South-Western

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

The South-Western City Schools board

of education has approved the expansion of

a college readiness program.

At a recent meeting, the board

announced they had reached an agreement

with I Know I Can to expand its services to

all four of the district’s high schools for the

remainder of the 2019/20 school year.

Representatives with the program have

had a presence at Franklin Heights and

Westland since funding for the pilot program

was approved by county officials in

2018.

According to Erik Shuey, the district’s

executive director of secondary education

and athletics, a college advising manager

will now be placed at Central Crossing and

Grove City and their positions will be

retained at the other high schools.

The mission of the college advising manager,

said Shuey, is to focus on 11th and

12th grade students as they prepare for

The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) recently

announced the launch of a new initiative aimed at solving the

growing amount of food waste going into the Franklin County

Sanitary Landfill.

The Central Ohio Food Waste Initiative, a collective impact

approach to solving local food waste challenges, brings together

business leaders and key stakeholders, building collaboration

toward developing an action plan to reduce and divert food waste

created in central Ohio.

Each year, millions of tons of food are wasted across the United

States. In central Ohio, it’s estimated that more than 140,000

tons, of all waste that goes to the landfill is food waste, including

items from residents and business.

“The goal of the initiative is to reduce food waste and leverage

it as a resource to benefit the region,” said Kyle O’Keefe, director

of innovation and programs at SWACO. “Food waste is a complex

issue. Effective solutions require collaborative community-based

approaches that align and leverage the efforts of many organizations,

including the residents we serve.”

post-high school education.

“They really target these students, and

do so on a one-on-one basis, as they get

ready to navigate the intricacies of finding

a community college or four-year university

that fits their career interest as well as

their financial situation.”

Laura Kraus, the director of program

development at IKIC, said this interaction

is important as students often find out that

their interests do not match those of their

ideal colleges.

“It is all about helping them find their

fit and match,” she said.

In addition to that important, and

money saving, aspect, the college advising

managers assist the juniors and seniors

with the admissions process, application

essays, campus tours and financial aid

packages.

“We have found that navigating federal

financial aid forms can be discouraging for

so many students,” said Kraus. “Our college

advising managers work with them

and their families throughout the process

to make it as simple as it can be.”

Kraus went on to say that it is not just

students prepared to go straight into a

four-year university that the college advising

managers help.

“If someone wants to go right into HVAC

work, or enlist into the military right out of

high school, we help them do that as well.”

They even go beyond graduation, reaching

out in the summer to those who

planned to attend college or university.

“It’s a part of our summer intrusive

advising,” said Kraus with a laugh. “We

know that time can be overwhelming and

we just want to give them as much encouragement

and support as we can.”

The feedback from the students and

staff at the schools who participated in the

program in 2018 has been nothing but outstanding,

said officials.

“It has been overwhelmingly positive,”

said Shuey.

Per the terms of the funding agreement

that was approved by the Franklin County

Commissioners and the county department

Educational initiative to tackle food waste in Franklin County

Schreiner becomes

OSBA president

The initiative will include participation from over 40 central

Ohio-based organizations representing all facets of the food chain,

including farmers, food producers, retailers, consumers, nonprofits,

government agencies and private sector companies.

The group will take a holistic approach to the issue by focusing

on preventing food waste, recovering edible food waste for redistribution

and recycling food waste through agriculture uses such as

composting. SWACO expects to introduce an action plan this year.

The action plan will act as a road map for implementing food

waste solutions throughout the region.

In recent years, food waste has been brought to the forefront of

national solid waste issues through commitments from the U.N.

and U.S. EPA to reduce food waste, both

national and globally, 50 percent by 2030.

of job and family services in 2018, a success

coach was placed at both Franklin Heights

and Westland. The success coach works

with freshmen and sophomores to help

gauge career interests and keep them on

track academically.

The board approved funding agreement,

which amounts to $85,000, will retain the

success coaches at those schools but does

not place them at Central Crossing or

Grove City this calendar year.

“We would love to see success coaches at

all of our high schools but it really just

depends on grants and funding,” said

Shuey.

The board will meet with IKIC representatives

in the summer to determine

whether the program should continue.

“We would love to remain a part of this

district,” said Kraus.

The program has been a part of

Columbus City Schools since 1988 and has

been attributed with helping tens of thousands

of students reach their higher education

goals.

South-Western City Schools Board of

Education member Lee Schreiner was

installed as the 2020 president for the

Ohio School Board’s Association. A

special program and reception was

held on Jan. 11 at Grove City High

School. Schreiner was president-elect

of the association in 2019. He was

appointed to the South-Western school

board in 2013 and was then elected

twice. He was also an educator in the

district for 37 years.

“I am going to be your community liaison for the foreseeable

future,” said Carter. “I’ve been with the sheriff’s

office for 19 years. I’ve been 13 years on patrol and did

about 10 of those years on the westside. So I am pretty

familiar with the area down here.”

Carter did encourage the trustees and the members of

the township to contact him if they had any complaints or

questions and that he would try to assist them to the best

of his ability.

An ongoing issue with the service The Bag was also

addressed.

The Bag is a free service which distributes a plastic bag

full of advertisements, coupons and flyers by hanging them

on the mail boxes of individuals in Pleasant

Township receives grant to help with road improvements

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

Motorists accessing Hiner Road will soon have a

smoother drive.

At the Jan. 21 Jackson Township Board of Trustees

meeting, administrator Shane Farnsworth announced that

the township has received a grant to fund improvements to

the residential road.

According to the administrator, the Ohio Public Works

Commission has awarded $200,700 for the road resurfacing

project with a local match from Jackson and Scioto

townships.

“The $98,000 will be divided evenly between (these two

townships),” Farnsworth said.

Jackson Township has jurisdiction over a majority of

the 1.5-mile stretch that will be resurfaced and will thus

repay the interest on a minor loan.

With the grant funding approved, the project will go out

to bid. Farnsworth said he expects the work on Hiner Road

to begin and end this summer. He said he did not foresee

road closures, only traffic monitors directing traffic when

necessary.

Last year, when the board approved the grant application

for the project, minor repair work had already been

approved for Hiner Road. Farnsworth said the road

department completed culvert and drainage work and

sealed up a section of road that had sunk.

He said he is pleased that the “patchwork quilt” of a

road will soon be “nice, smooth and clean.”

In related news, a traffic study on Dyer Road is being

conducted by the Franklin County Engineer’s Office.

Farnsworth said it is a continuation of a study prepared in

2017.

Depending on the results of the study, the township and

the city of Columbus will be asked to approve a resolution

of support for lowering the speed to 40 miles per hour. It

would go before the county commissioners should they do

so.

During a caucus session, board member Dave Burris

asked if the county would consider lowering the speed on

the residential road to 35 miles per hour.

Farnsworth said that is not likely as the last traffic

study determined the average speed was 42.5 miles per

hour. He said the study will be completed within 30 days

and the entire hearing process within six months.

Additionally, the board approved an amendment to current

nuisance regulations. It will allow the township to act

swiftly as it pertains to nuisance cases.

Farnsworth said homeowners will be notified via mail

and then asked to come to a public hearing should the matter

continue to be unresolved. Rather than take the case to

environmental court and go through the court process, the

township will be able to remove the nuisance or junk

items.

Grove City shelter reservations

Grove City Parks and Recreation shelter reservations

open Jan. 21, for shelters in Windsor and Gantz

parks and ball diamonds in Fryer Park. Make reservations

8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, by calling

614-277-3050 or visiting Kingston Center, 3226

Kingston Ave. Reservations are granted on a firstcome

basis and are not complete until fees are paid.

Reserve shelters for partial or full days: 11 a.m. to

3 p.m., 4 to 8 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Resident fees for

the gazebo and small shelter at Gantz Park, 2255

Home Road, and the large shelter at Windsor Park,

4330 Dudley Ave., are $45 for half-day reservations

and $75 for a full day ($60/$105 for non-residents). The

large shelter at Gantz Park is available for $55 for a

half day and $90 for a full day ($70/$125 for non-residents).

for rent when not already in use for city activities

by arrangement with the sports supervisor.

Reservations are made in two-hour increments for $20

per field.

Grove City residents also can host an event year

round at the Eagle Pavilion in Fryer Park.

As of late, residents have reported that the bags have

not been attached to the mailboxes, but rather have been

tossed on the ground next to the mailboxes, creating a littering

problem. This is a township-wide issue and the

trustees have received numerous complaints.

Due to the wind and the rain, when tossed on the

ground the bags and their contents get blown all over the

place and stuck in the ground tiles creating a back up.

Previously, this issue had been resolved when Trustee

Eating healthy at 50 and beyond

A balanced diet is an integral element of a healthy

lifestyle for men, women and children alike. But while

kids and young adults might be able to get away with

an extra cheeseburger here or there, men and women

approaching 50 have less leeway.

According to the National Institute on Aging, simply

counting calories without regard for the foods

being consumed is not enough for men and women 50

and older to maintain their long-term health. Rather,

the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing lowcalorie

foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body

needs.

But counting calories can be an effective and simple

way to maintain a healthy weight, provided those calories

are coming from nutrient-rich foods. The NIA

advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following

daily calorie intake recommendations as they

attempt to stay healthy into their golden years.

Women:

•Not physically active: 1,600 calories.

•Somewhat active: 1,800 calories.

•Active lifestyle: between 2,000 and 2,200 calories.

Men:

•Not physically active: 2,000 calories.

•Somewhat active: between 2,200 and 2,400 calories.

•Active lifestyle: between 2,400 and 2,800 calories.

When choosing foods to eat, the NIA recommends

eating many different colors and types of vegetables

and fruits. Phytochemicals are substances that occur

naturally in plants, and there are thousands of these

substances offering various benefits.

The NIA also advises that men and women over 50

make sure at least half the grains in their diets are

whole grains. Numerous studies have discovered the

various benefits of whole grains, which are loaded with

protein, fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients.

Another potential hurdle men and women over 50

may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and

taste. A person’s sense of smell may fade with age, and

because smell and taste are so closely related, foods

enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste

buds. That can be problematic, as many people instinctually

add more salt to foods they find bland.

According to the U.S. Office of Disease Prevention and

Health Promotion, older adults should consume no

more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day. That

equates to roughly 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Older men and

women should resist the temptation to use salt to add

flavor to foods, instead opting for healthy foods that

they can still smell and taste.

Maintaining a healthy diet after 50 may require

some hard work and discipline. But the long-term benefits

of a healthy diet make the extra effort well worth

it.

Franklin County Board of Commissioners: Commissioner John O’Grady, President • Commissioner Marilyn Brown • Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the Messenger Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County.

Emergency Response Systems

Franklin County Senior Options, administered by the Franklin

County Office on Aging, a department of the Franklin County

Board of Commissioners, is the “one-stop-shopping” point for

information and access to senior services. Senior Options

helps maintain independence, ensure safety and improve the

quality of life for older adults by providing community-based

services. These services could include home delivered meals,

information and referral, adult day services, medical

transportation, homemaker services, personal care,

emergency response systems, minor home repair and

caregiver relief.

In 2020, to better inform older adults and their caregivers, we

plan to share information about key services that support

client safety and independence. Our first featured service is

the Emergency Response System (ERS). This service is

designed to monitor client safety and provide client access to

emergency services through the provision of an electronic

communication system.

Although they constitute the largest part of our client base,

Senior Options programs and services are not limited to the

disabled elderly. An older person living alone who has a

history of falls might not be considered disabled; however,

Senior Options could provide an ERS to be used to summon

help in the event of a fall or sudden onset of severe illness.

The availability of services, such as a home-delivered lunch

and an ERS pendant, enable caregivers to work outside the

home. These services provide much needed relief for the

caregiver and support vulnerable older adults who want to live

alone or stay alone for long periods of time during the day.

Before the advent of this technology, the more costly

approach of having home care staff members “check in on”

older adults was often requested. The cost for this service is

over $20 per hour for a minimum of two hours versus the

high-tech alternative’s low cost (an average of $25/month).

The Senior Options program utilizes a very generous sliding

fee scale which allows many of our program participants to

receive this service “free of charge” or at a reduced cost.

Senior Options currently contracts with eight different ERS

service providers to deliver services such as Voice

Emergency Response, Fall Detectors, GPS Units and a few

other items. The ERS is designed to provide a means of

accessing help in case of an emergency when the older adult

is unable to call 911. The emergency response system may

include additional equipment such as an extra pendant, a

medication dispenser, smoke detector(s) or strobe light.

To receive an ERS a client must meet the standard Senior

Options program eligibility requirements and have a landline

or cell phone. Systems can accommodate non-English

speaking clients and those severely hearing impaired. The

ERS is also the recommended entry level service for Senior

Options. As the older adult ages in their home more services

can be quickly added.

For more information on Senior Options services and to

obtain an ERS, contact Senior Options at (614) 525-6200,

Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and until

7:00 p.m. on Thursdays.

Keep your workout fresh

Even the most ardent fitness enthusiasts

sometimes lack the motivation to exercise.

Various factors, including boredom

with a fitness regimen, can affect one’s

motivation to hit the gym.

Boredom with a workout can sometimes

be overcome by an especially effective

workout. But for those instances when

boredom is difficult to overcome, men and

women who want to stay in shape can try

these strategies.

•Join a sports league. A workout doesn’t

have to be limited to the weight room or

the cardiovascular area of your local gym.

If your motivation to workout is waning,

consider joining a competitive sports

league. Many fitness facilities even offer

adults sports leagues on their premises or

at nearby parks for outdoor sports. Sports

such as racquetball, soccer and boxing or

mixed martial arts provide great exercise

and opportunities to meet other fitnessminded

people. If games or competitions

only take place once or twice a week, be

sure to supplement your participation with

more traditional workouts on off days.

•Take along your tablet. Many fitness

facilities now include WiFi internet access

with the cost of a membership. People

bored with their workouts can take advantage

of this perk and take their tablets

with them to the gym, watching a favorite

television show or movie while burning

calories during the cardiovascular portions

of their workouts. This gives people bored

with their fitness regimens something to

look forward to, and the chance to catch up

with a popular show might be all the motivation

people need to get off the couch and

exercise.

•Periodically change your regimen. It’s

easy to get bored with a workout if you’re

always doing the same repetitive exercises.

Speak with a personal trainer at your gym

and ask for some advice on how to switch

things up and still meet your fitness goals.

There’s more than one way to get fit, and

periodically changing your exercise regimen

can be a great way to shake things up

and reinvigorate your interest in exercise.

•Set new goals. Boredom with a workout

regimen sometimes creeps in because

people have achieved their initial fitness

goals and haven’t set new ones. Whether

you have lost the amount of weight you set

out to lose or can now squat as much as you

set out to squat, set new goals so you have

a new carrot dangling on the end of your

stick.

“Weathering With You” is like a peek of sun on a cloudy day

While accepting the award for Best

Foreign Language film at this year’s

Golden Globes ceremony, writer and director

Bong Joon-ho encouraged the audience

to seek out non-English speaking movies.

“Once you overcome the one-inch tall

barrier of subtitles,” said the creator of

Parasite, “you will be introduced to so

many more amazing films.”

Though I am not one who is adverse to

foreign films and their accompanying subtitles,

I know many who are. They tell me

it is hard for their brain to process the

reading of the text while understanding

the action on the screen so they stop watching

due to the difficulties presented. While

I can see their point of view — it takes me a

few minutes to adjust to the concept — I

always thought it was silly to give up on a

foreign film with subtitles unless it was

truly awful. Then I watched a few animated

foreign language films and had to

reassess my previous notion.

I have not seen many animated foreign

films but I do struggle while watching

them. Because the styling is so bright and

the action so packed, my brain kind of goes

into overload and short-circuits for a bit.

And that is exactly what happened while I

watched “Weathering With You” this past

Pet Corner

Pets of the week

The Reel Deal - By Dedra Cordle

weekend.

“Weathering With You” is a Japanese

anime that is both hand-drawn and computer

animated. It was released in that

country last summer and went on to

become one of the top-grossing films at

their box office in 2019. Not many foreign

animated films go on to receive a stateside

release, but when I saw it listed as an

option this weekend, I took it; I really

didn’t want to see another reboot or sequel.

Though it was difficult to process initially,

it is not a decision I regret. Once I overcome

the barrier of one-inch subtitles, combined

with pops of color of metropolis landscapes

and dazzling depictions of weather

events, I was introduced to a truly amazing

film.

The film is centered on the escapades of

Hodaka Morishima (voiced by Kotaro

Daigo), a 16-year-old runaway who is

struggling to survive in the bustling city of

Tokyo. After days of sleeping on the street

and begging for jobs (employers will not

hire him because he left his student ID

back home), he seeks the assistance of

Keisuke Suga (Shun Oguri), a potentially

shady man who saved his life on the boat to

the city.

Upon entering Suga’s establishment,

These furry friends are available

for adoption at local

rescues and shelters

Hodaka realizes that his savior is not so

shady, but he does run a questionable magazine

that peddles conspiracy theories and

urban legends. Though he has some misgivings,

Hodaka accepts employment with

Suga as it comes with a place to stay.

While interviewing a psychic with fellow

reporting assistant Natsumi (Tsuhasa

Honda), he learns of the Weather Maiden,

or girls who can control the elements. As it

is constantly rainy in the city, Hodaka

brushes this bit of legend off as heresy

because certainly they would produce some

nice weather days. Nonetheless, he is

intrigued by the concept.

Like any good budding reporter, he

starts digging deeper into the “sunshine

girl” phenomena and meets Hina Amano

(Nana Mori), who previously offered him a

kindness when he was starving. When he

learns that she is capable of improving the

weather just by praying, he sees it as a way

for them to improve their financial situation.

At first Hina is reserved, not wanting

to make a profit off of her gift, but sees the

benefit as sunny days make people smile.

As they continue on their weather venture,

the climate becomes more volatile during

her ‘off days’ and strange things keep happening

to Hina. Soon, the duo discover that

what is good for the many may not be good

for the few.

Though the storyline in “Weathering

With You” has its rough patches, it is visually

a fantastic movie. The animation

showcases what the ocean and sky look like

during the abundance of rain and also the

world through a prism as rays of sun burst

through the clouds. I would put the animation

in this film on par with “Frozen 2;” it

really is capable of leaving you spellbound.

Unlike a majority of animated film

stateside, “Weathering With You” is not

afraid to get gritty, tackling issues like

income inequality, exploitation and climate

change. There is even a secondary plot

about gun violence, which makes the tone

of the film a little more uneven.

Despite some difficulties, both in the

story and in self processing, “Weathering

With You” is a great movie that, if you are

willing and able, should catch sometime.

I’m not certain it’s going to stay at the theaters

much longer, but if you ever come

across this film, stop and watch. It’s like a

peek of sun on a dreary day. Grade B+

needs to be in a

home with no cats or

small dogs. Spencer

is good with kids but

can be a rowdy player

at times. This lovely

pit/Rottweiler mix

would be a great addition to your family -

come and meet him today at the Franklin

County Dog Shelter.

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

Martin has been in

the shelter for 250

days, and he continues

to wait patiently

for his forever home.

This 5-year-old is a

staff and volunteer

favorite. He’s been

on shelter sleepovers

and overnights visits. He cannot be in a

home with other dogs or animals. Do you have

the right home for Martin? Visit him today!

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


Pouches for patches

Girl Scout Troop 5925, out of Grove City, sewed several dozen joey pouches for

young kangaroos and other marsupials who have been orphaned or displaced due

to the wildfires burning in Australia. The troop members spent several hours sewing

the pouches that will be donated to Rescue Craft Collective, a craft guild that creates

items for animal rescue efforts. The girl scouts are always looking for projects

that would help animals in need.

Rabies immunization clinic

Franklin County Public Health and the

Columbus Academy of Veterinary Medicine

Proof of prior vaccination includes either a

rabies vaccination certificate or a Franklin

unable to provide proof of a prior vaccination,

your pet will receive a one-year rabies

vaccination and tag.

All dogs and cats in Franklin County

Messenger photo by Ris Twigg

Message of kindness through art

Deena Bun examines her second-grade daughter’s artwork on kindness, featured

as one of the 469 entries at the PTA “Reflections” art show at Harmon Elementary

School on Jan. 9. “It's about being kind. It’s showing people what is kind, and if

nobody knows what kind is, they can look at my artwork and see,” Bun said. “My

favorite part is sharing things and loving others.”
