Online portal 

adding access 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

In 2012, the South-Western City 

Schools District began using an online portal 

called Infinite Campus which allows 

parents to pay fees, access their child’s 

academic reports and class schedules and 

make real-time adjustments to contact 

information and medical information. 

The parental feedback on the online tool 

was overwhelmingly positive, said district 

officials, but the one complaint they kept 

hearing was the absence of the food service 

department in the Infinite Campus. 

“They had wanted seamless and universal 

access to the system,” said 

Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise at the Jan. 

27 board of education meeting. 

In February of 2019, it was announced 

that the food service department would 

begin the transition to the Infinite Campus 

at the start of the 2019-2020 school year 

barring any unforeseen circumstances. 

Fortunately, said district officials, there 

were no unforeseen circumstances and the 

transition was completed in August. 

“The transition to the Infinite Campus 

was a huge project for the food service 

department,” said supervisor Lisa 

Hamrick at the meeting, “and overall it 

couldn’t have gone any better.” 

Using the online portal, parents will be 

able to notify the district and department 

of food allergies, monitor what their child 

is eating, and check and pay balances. 

Hamrick said if there are low or negative 

balances, the portal will notify the 

parent via automatic messaging or phone 

rather than the head cook at the school. 

“We wanted to take that call out of the 

kitchen,” said Hamrick. “We want our 

head cooks to focus on serving students 

and not on that aspect.” 

Board member Lee Schreiner asked 

about the department policy should a child 

have a negative balance. 

“We always feed them a meal,” she said. 

“We don’t shame our students here.” 

Schreiner said he was glad to hear that 

the students received a full meal rather 

than a modified meal, like a sole peanut 

butter and jelly sandwich. 

“I think we all want our students to be 

at their best and in order for them to do so 

they have to have food in their bellies,” he

Bishop Ready seniors Madeline French as Marvalyn and Alex Oswald as Steve in 

‘This Hurts,’ one of the vignettes from “Almost, Maine.” 

A new take on a winter play 

The Bishop Ready Theatre 

Department has chosen to present a different 

type of play for its winter theater 

production. 

John Ciardi’s “Almost, Maine” (adapted 

version), presents a series of eight 

brief scenes or vignettes, each exploring 

various aspects of love. The play takes 

place in the mythical Almost, Maine, a 

place described as “not organized enough 

to be a town, but too populated to be a 

wilderness” on a cold and magical 

Midwinter Night. 

Tied together by a prologue and an 

epilogue, each scene focuses on a story 

and how love plays out for different people. 

The citizens of Almost, Maine, are 

humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and 

sincere and their experiences, while 

playful and surreal, are commonplace in 

Almost. 

The cast of 19 includes students from 

each class, from freshman through senior. 

Each scene involves a different couple. 

The adapted version of “Almost, 

Maine,” is suitable for students in grade 

six and higher. Performances are Friday, 

Feb. 14, at 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 15, at 

2 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 16, at 2 p.m. 

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students.

Public comment 

policy updated in 

Prairie Township 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

The Prairie Township Trustees have set 

new rules for the public comment portion 

of the government meetings. 

“The board is committed to an ongoing 

and active dialogue with its constituents,” 

Township Administrator Rob Peters said 

at a recent board meeting. “However, the 

board recognizes that true dialogue must 

follow basic rules in order to be construc-

said. 

During further discussion on the food 

service department, board member David 

Donofrio inquired about a recent federal 

proposal to scale back school nutrition 

guidelines set forth in 2012. 

“Do you anticipate any major impact on 

the department?” he asked. 

Hamrick said she has not had the time 

to go over the entire proposal but said she 

does not anticipate the department will 

make any changes at this time. 

In related news, Hamrick said the 

department serves 6,900 daily breakfasts 

and 13,400 daily lunches. She added that 

East Franklin Elementary School recently 

began to participate in the breakfast-inthe-classroom 

program, which brings the 

total number of elementary schools 

involved in the program to eight. 

The board of education also heard from 

transportation supervisor Tim Cox at the 

meeting. According to Cox, their fleet of 

more than 200 buses are in good shape and 

safety inspections are currently under way. 

He said he expects all of the buses to be 

inspected by the end of June 2020.

tive.” 

Peters said that the new rules are 

intended to facilitate constructive and civil 

public comments that respect the rights, 

sensibilities and time of all those in attendance 

at the meetings. Some of the new 

rules include limiting comments to five 

minutes, addressing the board no more 

than once per topic, per meeting and no 

slander or shouting. 

The biggest change to the rule is that 

speakers cannot complain about a township 

employee during the meetings anymore. 

Peters said employee complaints 

must be presented in writing to the township 

administrator. He will then be forward 

the complaint on to the board of 

trustees. 

In other news, township officials are 

evaluating opportunities for further development, 

including the use of vacant land 

owned by the township. 

“We recently got a request for the usage 

of a vacant parcel the township owns,” said 

Peters. “I will be presenting this opportunity 

to the board, but we would not consider 

selling this lot. Before we did anything like 

this, we would need to consider what is 

best for the community and what we want 

to do in the future with the parcel.” 

The parcel, which is located next to the 

Prairie Township Community Center, 

could be used for expansion of the center or 

a parking lot. The trustees are still trying 

to determine what the best use for the 

property should be. 

The trustees also took care of some 

housekeeping, including naming a new 

board chairman and vice-chairman. Cathy 

Schmelzer was voted board chairwoman 

and Steve Kennedy was named vice chairman. 

The board also promoted several 

township employees. Among the people 

promoted was the new director of the community 

center. 

Michael Pollack was promoted from 

interim recreation director to recreation 

director with an annual salary of $81,370. 

The township also promoted Courtenay 

Chaffin, who will go from aquatics manager 

to operation manager with an annual 

salary of $67,500. Chaffin will be eligible 

for a $2,500 pay increase after six months.

Commissioners miffed over 

zoning applicant no shows 

February 9, 2020 - WESTSIDE MESSENGER - PAGE 3 

By Ris Twigg 

Staff Writer 

Two applicants have come to the 

Greater Hilltop Area Commission meetings 

over the last several months looking to 

propose two separate for-profit addiction 

recovery centers in the Hilltop. 

One applicant is simply seeking a letter 

of support from the commission for their 

project, but declined to return to this 

month’s meeting for the commission’s 

approval. 

The other applicant, after bringing the 

idea to the November zoning committee 

meeting, has no-showed their zoning hearing 

during full commission meetings at 

least twice, leaving several residents with 

concerns over representation. 

“I will not be able to attend the next 

meeting,” one resident said during the Feb. 

4 meeting. “I just want to speak up because 

my right to vote or express myself is actually 

being damaged by this person repeatedly 

scheduling and not showing up.” 

Commissioners also spoke to the lack of 

follow-through from the zoning applicant. 

“This is totally unfair to the people that 

showed up tonight. Something has to be 

done,” Geoffrey Phillips, a Hilltop commissioner, 

said during the meeting. “It’s a forprofit 

corporation. They are making money 

off this enterprise and our neighborhood.” 

Residents and commissioners alike 

debated ideas for amending the commission’s 

bylaws to make sure zoning applicants 

show up when their project is put on

the agenda as well as ways to ensure the 

community can be alerted when a zoning 

applicant is no longer able to attend the 

hearing. 

The commission voted to table a vote on 

the proposed recovery center project. 

Scott Stockman, vice chairman of the 

commission, said the project itself wasn’t 

“totally clear” from the start. 

The applicant brought the for-profit 

recovery center to the November zoning 

committee meeting in 2019. Then, after 

failing to attend the zoning hearing for the 

project during the full December commission 

meeting, the applicant hired a new 

consulting company to represent the project. 

“They’re just working out what they’re 

trying to present to us. So there’s a little bit 

of going back to the drawing board,” 

Stockman said. “They called me before the 

meeting started without a lot of notice and 

just said that they weren’t able to come 

here tonight and make the presentation.” 

Stockman added that the applicant had 

emailed him on Sunday to inform the commission 

they would present the project during 

the full commission meeting. 

The proposed addiction recovery center 

would house up to 19 people at once. The 

applicant is looking to locate the center at 


“It’s not entirely clear. That’s why we 

have a zoning committee and then following 

it up right away with a full committee 

hearing,” Stockman said. “But the delay is 

causing more clarity issues.”

For the love of succulents 

Messenger photo by Dedra Cordle 

The colors of winter can often be dull and one thing that can spice up the season is a little green. On Feb. 

1, approximately 30 people throughout Franklin and Madison counties came out to the Battelle Darby 

Creek Nature Center to learn more about succulents and take one – or a few – back home with them to 

spruce up their living quarters. Lindsey Krusling, a part-time naturalist at the metro park, spent several 

months raising Aloe Vera, Haworthia and Hens-and-Chicks in the basement in order for the participants 

in the first-time program to take them home and let them thrive. Here, Priscilla Harris and her granddaughter, 

Hazel check out the bed of succulents before the crowd came over to plant them in pots and 

transport them away. The duo from Grove City said they love succulents and other indoor plants and 

thoroughly enjoyed the program.

Franklin Township considers a ‘no knock’ policy 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

At a recent Franklin Township meeting, 

the trustees discussed creating a no knock 

policy to protect residents from solicitation. 

“While we don’t have a resolution for 

this because we are not a limited home rule 

township, we have seen other townships 

enact similar resolutions without having 

limited home rule authority,” said John 

Fleshman, township trustee. “We would 

like to have something to protect residents 

from having people constantly knocking at 

their door and asking them to purchase 

items.” 

The trustees added that they would look 

at a resolution that mirrored what 

Jefferson Township has in place. 

“Basically, how the resolution would 

work, is if an individual is selling an item, 

they would need to register with the township 

before they can go door-to-door selling 

their item,” said Aryeh Alex, township 

trustee. “Non-profits like Girl Scouts would 

be allowed to not register; this is more for 

businesses looking for a profit.” 

Part of the reason the township wants 

this legislation is to protect residents from 

having unwanted visitors roaming their 

neighborhood. 

“We don’t want random people knocking 

on doors and seeing if residents are home 

or not,” said Ralph Horn, township trustee. 

Celebrating African 

history at Hilltop Library 

The Hilltop Library will celebrate Black 

History Month with a musical event called 

Singing, Drumming and Dancing with 


“This could lead to people breaking into 

homes and stealing items. This is a way to 

further protect our residents.” 

In other news, the board provided residents 

with information on how they can get 

a free radon test from the Franklin County 

Board of Health. The board is offering free 

kits residents can use to test if they have 

the dangerous gas in their basements. 

“Radon is an odorless and tasteless gas 

that is frequently found in basements,” 

Fleshman said. “It has been linked to lung 

cancer and is very dangerous to have in 

your home.” 

Residents simply follow the instructions 

on the kit, mail it back and the board will 

let them know if they have radon and how 

they can remedy it. 

To request a kit, contact the township at 

614-279-9411 or franklin-township.com. 

Township officials also informed residents 

that the township as been selected 

for a grant from SWACO to provide recycling 

services to the township. 

“SWACO is covering 75 percent of the 

recycling cost to bring recycling to all the 

township offices,” said Mark Potts, township 

administrator. “We want to use this 

partnership as an opportunity to raise 

awareness about recycling in the township 

and encourage others to recycle too.” 

According to Potts, the township wants 

to set a good example for the community 

and hopes if township employees recycle,

residents will too. 

The township currently does not have a 

trash or recycling contract with one vendor 

and instead residents pay for these services 

individually. The township previously had 

a trash contract with Local Waste Services, 

but did not renew their contract when they 

saw rates increase. The increase was due to 

residents not paying their bills, as well as 

many residents opting out.

In Entertainment 

Sibling tale falls flat without vision or voice 

Once upon a time in a land called 

Hollywood, the studio executives who 

determine the release dates of their theatrical 

properties got together and declared 

the first month of the year as the perfect 

place to dump the worst of the films on 

their schedule. While no explanation was 

given for their decision — after all, plenty of 

duds are released in the months that follow 

too — January eventually came to be known 

as the place where movies go to die. 

Attempts have been made throughout 

the years to bring life to the month and a 

few successes have been had. The one I just 

saw, however, could not be counted

amongst them. In fact, the idea for it 

should have been left in the dirt. 

The tale of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ has been 

around for more than 200 years and has 

been adapted in many forms. The story has 

been cleaned up to make it more palatable 

for the younger crowd, turned into dark 

comedies for the middle set and made over 

to create careers as witch hunters for adult 

fare. Its latest iteration pulls bits and 

pieces from all three, but leans more on the 

darkness of the original Grimm Brother 

form. This concoction creates a poorly 

developed and stilted mess of a film that 

grasps around desperately to find an audience. 

But how does it expect to find one 

when it doesn’t know what it wants to do? 

It begins in a time where famine 

abounds and two siblings have just been 

cast out of the home because their mother 

can no longer afford to feed them. With no 

prospect of employment except in the 

household of a lecherous pervert, a 

teenaged Gretel (Sophia Lillis) and her 

younger brother Hansel (Samuel Leaky) 

take to the woods to survive on their own. 

Ill equipped to live off the land, the two 

begin to see cloaked figures in the woods 

and hear whispers fill the air. Is it due to 

hunger? Sleep deprivation? The stress from 

sharing a bed with an unexplained zombie 

monster? It could be all of the above, and it 

could be nothing of the sort. 

Though spooked and on edge from their 

experience, it does not deter the pair from 

shacking up with an unsettling woman 

named Holda (Alice Krige) when she offers 

them shelter from the elements and food to 

eat. As they get to know the elderly woman 

and become more comfortable in her home 

in the middle of the woods, strange things 

begin to happen to the siblings which causes 

their close bond to strain. 

After a particularly difficult day, Gretel 

dreams she, like her mother before her, 

casts Hansel out in the elements to rid herself 

of the burden of him. Then when she 

wakes, he is gone. 

Despite assurances from Holda that 

running off is just what boys do, Gretel is 

determined to discover what happened to 

her brother and who is to blame. Is it the 

lonely older woman with a skill for casting

The Reel Deal

spells, or the lonely 

younger woman discovering 

her own 

power? Though the 

movie tries to offer 

both as suspects, it 

largely sticks to the 

long-told tale. 

The latter point is where the movie falls 

into a pit of dullness, with its refusal to 

tread a different path. Say what you will 

about 2013’s “Hansel and Gretel: Witch 

Hunters” (note: it’s awful) but at least it 

had its own vision and voice which is more 

than I can say about “Gretel and Hansel.” 

There are elements here to make it an 

interesting coming-of-age story but it collapses 

under the weight of a poor script and 

poor direction. Not even the presence of the 

great Alice Krige and the terrific production 

design could save it. 

The best thing I can say about the film 

is that it is short (the duration is around 

one hour and 24 minutes) but I also have to 

add that it feels long. Just save your time 

and your money and cast it aside like the 

mother of Gretel and Hansel did at the 

beginning. It really is for the best.
