Prairie Township 

plans its annual 

Farmer’s Market 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

The Prairie Township Farmer’s 

Market will open later in 2020. 

Normally, the farmer’s market runs 

from 4 to 7 p.m. every Monday starting 

in early to mid-June. This year, event 

organizers are planning to open the market 

at the end of June. 

“Usually we open earlier, but we had 

already decided, based on feedback from 

our vendors, that we were going to open 

later and that was before COVID-19 

happened,” said Michael Pollack, director 

of the Prairie Township Community 

Center. “This year, we are opening June 

29 and staying open until Sept. 28, 

which is longer than we are usually 

open.” 

Pollack said the reason for this 

change is because vendors said they will 

have more produce to sell if they wait 

until later in the season and extend the 

market until later in the fall. 

“Due to weather, their growing season 

has changed, and this adjusted time 

frame works with that season,” Pollack 

said. “Produce is ready later in the season 

and lasts longer than previous seasons, 

so adjusting this time will ensure 

we will have plenty of product for people 

to purchase.” 

The market expects to have 12 to 15 

vendors by the time it opens. Currently, 

10 vendors are signed up, but Pollack 

said he anticipates more will sign up as 

time progresses. However, he said some 

vendors may not return due to the coronavirus 

pandemic. 

“The market may be a little different 

this year. We may have hand sanitizing 

stations, people may have to wear personal 

protective equipment like masks 

and gloves and may have to practice 

social distancing,” Pollack said.

Safety first for 

Columbus fire 

By Josephine Birdsell 

Staff Writer 

The Columbus Division of Fire altered 

its addiction response methods to limit the 

potential spread of COVID-19. 

The daily overdose average in 

Columbus is 8.14 overdoses per day. There 

was an uptick in overdoses earlier this 

month, reaching 13 overdoses per day on 

April 4, said Steve Martin, public information 

officer for the division of fire. 

This issue was discussed on April 15 as 

the city of Columbus Department of 

Neighborhoods gave a virtual neighborhood 

update on the westside area. 

The increase in daily overdoses is “twofold,” 

resulting from upticks in both psychological 

emergencies and illicit drugs, 

said Lieutenant George Wallace. 

However, the division of fire is respond-

“However, right now we plan on the market still going 

on. We will make whatever changes we need to protect 

market shoppers.” 

The start date of the farmer’s market is subject to 

change due to coronavirus prevention measures. 

In other community center news, the center will 

remain closed as long as the stay at home order in Ohio 

is in place. The community center also had to cancel 

several programs they hoped to reschedule this spring. 

“Since Governor (Mike) DeWine extended the stay 

at home order, we had to cancel our spring session of 

swim lessons,” said Pollack. “We had hoped to salvage 

the spring session, but there was no way.” 

The center is offering refunds or credits for those 

registered for the swim lesson sessions, which had just 

begun when the original Ohio stay at home order was 

put into place. Pollack said offering families refunds or 

credit also gives them peace of mind that they will get 

the money back they already invested in the lessons. 

The center was able to reschedule several events 

that were supposed to take place during the pandemic, 

including a karate class and mother/son date night. 


City supports Children’s Hunger Alliance 

On April 20, Columbus City Council passed an ordinance 

to enter into a $100,000 grant agreement with 

Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA) in support of open 

summer meal sites for Columbus children. 

These sites are places where any child can receive a 

nutritious meal over the summer without enrollment 

requirements. Proper nutrition is essential for children 

to continue their growth and development during the 

school year and over the summer. During the COVID- 

19 health crisis, it is especially important to provide 

options for children and their families to be able to 

access healthy meals. 

“This pandemic has reinforced the importance of 

providing proper nutrition for kids when they aren’t 

able to access meals through school,” said President 

Pro Tem Elizabeth Brown. “As the schools deal with 

the closure of buildings through the rest of the school 

year, I am grateful for the partnership of CHA to 

ensure children are receiving the meals they need over 

the summer.” 

The extended partnership with CHA means that 

Columbus children can pick up food at various locations 

across the city, yet to be finalized. Based on the 

current circumstances, site locations are still being 

finalized, with a focus by CHA on feeding children in 

areas that are not already being served.

ing to emergency calls as usual. The division of fire 

also increased the number of firefighters at work in 

response to the pandemic, Wallace said. 

The division of fire’s Rapid Response Emergency 

Addiction Crisis Team, which consists of 

firefighters/paramedics, police officers and social workers 

who work to connect addicts to rehabilitation facilities, 

is still in operation. 

However, to limit the potential spread of COVID-19, 

the RREACT team is not making visits to addict’s 

homes for face-to-face meetings as it usually does. 

Instead, members are leaving informational pamphlets 

on the door-step and checking-in with addicts by 

phone. RREACT is still transporting individuals to 

Judy Mobley, president and CEO of CHA, said, “We 

appreciate the financial support from the Columbus 

City Council for this critical work feeding children. 

Under normal circumstances, only 10 percent of children 

that qualify for free or reduced-price school meals 

have access to a summer meal site. During the COVID- 

19 crisis, the need is greater than ever. This summer 

meal program will allow us to feed more children especially 

focused on those residing in the most impoverished 

areas of our city.” 

“This pandemic is illustrating the need for all of us 

to lift up our family, friends and neighbors, and to reexamine 

how we can work more diligently in the future 

to make the successes in our community more accessible 

for all,” said Brown. 

Founded in 1970, Children’s Hunger Alliance is a 

statewide non-profit organization dedicated to ending 

childhood hunger in Ohio. Through their work, 

Children’s Hunger Alliance provides healthy meals 

and snacks to food-insecure children, advocates for legislation 

to improve the welfare of Ohio’s youngest citizens, 

and teaches nutrition and physical education to 

those they serve. 

Visit childrenshungeralliance.org for additional 

information. 

The center is planning on moving those events to the 

end of August or September. 

During the pandemic, the center is trying to offer 

community activities. 

“Our instructors have been regularly posting fitness 

videos on our Facebook page to offer easy to do fitness 

activities at home,” Pollack said. “We also are offering 

a virtual race where people can participate at any time 

without having to gather.” 

The fitness videos posted on the Facebook page 

range from yoga to ball exercises to Tai Chi. The virtual 

race is open to all ages and costs $5 to participate. 

“Participants track miles and will receive an award 

for their participation,” Pollack said. “They can send 

pictures of themselves outside exercising and it promotes 

physical activity while safely social distancing.” 

Pollack said they have 15 to 20 people signed up 

and the community response has been very favorable. 

Pollack said some of the events the community center 

was planning on hosting this summer are still 

scheduled at this time. 

rehabilitation facilities when requested. 

The division of fire will continue to enter homes on 

emergency calls if necessary, but asks that people meet 

firefighters and paramedics at their door and wear 

face-coverings when possible. 

“Obviously we can’t do the six feet safe distancing 

when caring for patients, so we’re trying to keep everybody 

at the lowest risk we possibly can,” Wallace said. 

Firefighters are wearing personal protective equipment 

and disinfecting trucks after every emergency 

call to reduce the possible spread of COVID-19. 

“We’re still responding. We’re still fulfilling our mission 

just like we always have. We’re just doing it in a 

little different way,” Wallace said.

A message about the Westgate Home and Garden Tour 

By Michael Blake 

President, Westgate Neighbors Association 

On behalf of the entire Westgate Neighbors 

Association (WNA) board, thank you for nine years 

of support of the Westgate Home and Garden Tour. 

Without you, this tour would not be possible, and 

your loyal support allows us to continue showcasing 

our “Unexpected” neighborhood to all of central 

Ohio. 

The ongoing COVID-19 health crisis is leaving 

many of us with an uncertainty of when we will 

once again be back to our normal routines. Due to 

current restrictions of group gatherings and social 

distancing, the WNA must take responsibility to 

keep our homeowners, volunteers and guests 

healthy. We have made the difficult decision to cancel 

our 10th annual Home and Garden Tour that 

was scheduled for June 13, 2020. While this is 

painful to announce, I know we made the right decision. 

The Westgate Home and Garden Tour is more 

than just an event. While we are proud to showcase 

the neighborhood, it is also a moment to work 

together as neighbors and realize how special our 

community is. Community pride is strong in 

Westgate so it’s no surprise that on tour day, 

Westgate pride is abundant. The tour is responsible 

for several new friendships among neighbors and 

provides an outlet for many to give back to their 

neighborhood. We are so proud and honored to have 

such loyal guests, homeowners, volunteers and 

overwhelming support from the community. To all 

our homeowners, past and future, thank you for 

allowing the WNA to share in your achievement as 

a homeowner and the American dream. 

Since the first Westgate Home and Garden Tour 

launched in 2011, we have showcased 83 homes 

and/or gardens and welcomed over 3,300 guests to 

the neighborhood. While we have never considered 

the tour a fundraiser, we have been fortunate to 

have had proceeds from past tours fund several different 

initiatives in the community. Proceeds have 

funded and installed several benches and trash 

cans in Westgate Park, and picnic tables at the 

West Gate Masonic Lodge for our food truck guests. 

Most importantly, as an extension to the WNA’s 

mission, we have proudly awarded five scholarships 

to local college students to invest in the future. 

You can still show your support of the Westgate 

Home and Garden Tour by purchasing a virtual 

home and garden tour ticket at westgateneighbors.org/donate. 

While this ticket does not grant 

you access to one of our beautiful homes, your donation 

will allow us to continue investing back into 

our community. 

Mark your calendars, next year’s tour is scheduled 

for June 12, 2021! Thank you for your continued 

support of the tour and the Westgate Neighbors 

Association.

about the risk of contracting COVID-19. 

Surgeries and procedures that, if not performed, would 

cause a threat to a patient's life, a threat of the spread of 

cancer or the permanent dysfunction of a limb or organ, 

the presence of severe symptoms causing an inability to 

perform activities of daily living, and/or the risk of rapidly 

worsening symptoms have always been permitted even if 

an overnight stay is necessary. 

Responsible Restart Ohio 

The guiding principles of the Responsible Restart Ohio 

plan are protecting the health of employees, customers, 

and their families, supporting community efforts to control 

the spread of COVID-19, and responsibly getting Ohio 

back to work. 

“We put this plan together based on all the information 

we have about how dangerous COVID-19 still is right now, 

balanced with the fact that it's also dangerous to have people 

not working,” said DeWine. “COVID-19 is still 

out there. It’s still killing people. We’re asking 

Ohioans to be reasonable and rational. Please don’t 

take huge chances, and please use common sense 

when you go out and where you go out.” 

Beginning on May 4, manufacturing, distribution, 

and construction businesses may reopen if 

these businesses can meet mandatory safety 

requirements for customers and employees. The 

full Responsible Restart Ohio plan for manufacturing, 

distribution, and construction can be found at 

coronavirus.ohio.gov/ResponsibleRestartOhio.

12 to 3 p.m. at the church, located at 775 Galloway 

Road. Crafts include 3D paper figures of Star Wars 

characters and build your own light saber. Online 

activities include trivia games and photos with your 

favorite characters. The church will also be collecting 

canned food donations for the Westland food pantry.

Beginning on May 4, general office environments 

may reopen if these businesses can meet 

mandatory safety requirements for customers and 

employees. The full Responsible Restart Ohio plan 

for general office environments can be found at 


Beginning on May 12, consumer, retail and services, 

may reopen if these businesses can meet 

mandatory safety requirements for customers and 

employees. The full Responsible Restart Ohio plan 

for consumer, retail and services can be found at 


The general safe business practices that all businesses 

must follow as they reopen are: 

•Recommending face coverings for all employees, 

and recommending them for clients and customers 

at all times 

•Conducting daily health assessments or selfevaluations 

of employees to determine if they 

should work 

•Maintaining good hygiene at all times such as 

hand washing and social distancing 

•Cleaning and sanitizing workplaces throughout 

the day and at the close of business or between shifts 

•Limiting capacity to meet social distancing guidelines 

“I have an obligation as the governor of Ohio to get people 

back to work and keep them safe. Opening everything 

up at once would not be consistent with the obligation to 

keep people safe,” said DeWine. “Our Responsible Restart 

Ohio plan is the best guarantee that Ohioans will feel safe 

going to stores and employees will feel safe going to work. 

I’m optimistic about our future, but we can't be reckless.” 

Continued closures 

The following types of establishments are ordered to 

remain closed due to their increased risk of potential 

COVID-19 exposure: 

•Schools and daycares 

•Dine-in restaurants and bars (carry-out is still permitted) 

•Personal appearance and beauty businesses 

•Older adult daycare services and senior centers 

•Adult day support or vocational rehabilitation services 

in group settings 

•Entertainment, recreation, and gyms 

For greater detail on the types of businesses that must 

stay closed, visit 


Stay at home order / large gatherings 

Because the danger of COVID-19 still exists, Ohio’s 

Stay at Home order will remain in effect to encourage 

Ohioans to continue making reasonable, rational decisions 

about leaving home. 

Although anyone is susceptible to getting sick with 

COVID-19, those who are 65 or older are encouraged to be 

especially careful, as are those with high-risk conditions 

such as chronic lung disease, moderate to severe asthma, 

heart conditions, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or liver 

disease, as well as those who are immunocompromised or 

obese. 

Large gatherings of more than 10 people are still prohibited.

The Franklin Township fire levy has 

failed. Officials will now go back to the 

drawing board to determine how to proceed. 

According to the unofficial results from 

the Franklin County Board of Elections, 

the Franklin Township Fire Department 

levy failed with 491 against and 379 in 

favor of the levy. This equals 56 percent 

against the levy. The 19.5-mil levy would 

have been permanent. 

“I think the biggest reason the levy 

failed was because a dark-money group ran 

a campaign aimed at defeating the levy,” 

said Aryeh Alex, township trustee. “The 

group sent out mailers, had a website, ran 

digital ads and had paid canvassers that 

went door-to-door across the township.” 

Alex said the other reason he believes 

the levy failed was because of the economic 

issues the country is facing. Alex said that 

when people are unsure how they are going 

to pay their bills, it is hard to ask them to 

vote in favor of a levy that would increase 

expenses. 

“When there is economic uncertainty, 

like we are all facing right now, it is a lot 

tougher to ask people to pay a little more in 

property taxes,” Alex said. “When we originally 

approved adding this levy to the 

March ballot, we had no idea what was in 

store. Now everything has changed.” 

The levy would have combined all the 

township levies into one levy, as well as 

replaced the timed levy that will expire in 

early 2021. The levy also would have collected 

property taxes from the entire township, 

including properties that were 

annexed with a type II annexation. 

“In 2003, the Ohio legislative government 

passed laws to allow townships to 

conform our boundaries to include properties 

that were annexed with a type II 

annexation,” said Franklin Township Fire 

Chief James Welch. “What this means for 

Franklin Township residents is that this 

would have spread out the expense(s) for 

fire services to include all properties that 

were annexed since 2003.” 

Properties like the Hollywood Casino 

Columbus that annexed out of the township 

would have had to pay their portion 

for the levy. As a result, the increase for 

township residents would have been minimal, 

according to township trustees. 

Township leaders wanted the levy to be 

permanent so they could avoid constantly 

coming back to taxpayers for levy renewals. 

Due to the levy failing, the township will 

likely come back to taxpayers for a levy 

renewal in November. The township has 

not determined how much they will ask 

voters for in November and if they will

Giving back to the community 


Staff Writer 

At a recent Franklin Township meeting, 

the board discussed things the township is 

doing to help those suffering during the 

COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Among the things we are doing is helping 

pass out 20 to 30 sacked lunches on 

Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” said 

Mark Potts, administrator for Franklin 

Township. “We are working with 

Southeast Behavioral Healthcare on this 

project and the lunches are open to anyone, 

regardless of income.” 

The lunches include deli sandwiches, 

apples and other essentials people need to 

have a wholesome lunch. It is passed out at 

Central Point, which is located at the intersection 

of Brown Road and Central 

Avenue. 

“We pass out lunches from noon to 1 

p.m. and will also provide Narcan if people 

need it when they come up for a lunch,” 

Potts said. “We are getting a lot of homeless 

people, as well as others who just need 

a lunch during these tough times.” 

The township also continues to work 

with Central Baptist Church to offer 

monthly produce to help those in need. The 

food distribution event takes places once a 

month on the second Saturday of every 

month at the church from 10 a.m. to noon. 

Related to the township operations during 

COVID-19, Potts said it continues to be 

business as usual. 

“We are continuing to work on road projects 

while practicing social distancing and 

the police and fire department continue to 

go on runs,” he said. “We do have a new fiscal 

officer who started at the beginning of 

April and she is busy setting up her new 

office. We are trying to limit how much 

staff come into the office and if they are 

able to work from home, we are encouraging 

them to do so.” 

The township is having its bi-weekly 

board meetings via Zoom conference calls 

so the trustees can work from home as 

well, Potts added. Potts said this will continue 

until the stay at home order has been 

lifted and the board can meet regularly 

again. 

During the last meeting, the board 

approved administrative leave for staff 

who would be exposed or contract COVID- 

19, allowing them to have paid time off 

work without having to use their vacation 

or sick time. 

“Trustee (Ralph) Horn wanted some 

regulations around this, so the board 

agreed to give employees up to 30 days 

administrative leave and an additional 30 

days if they would need it,” Potts said. 

Potts added that the additional 30 days 

would need to be approved by the board 

first before the employees could take it. He 

said it is up to each jurisdiction in Ohio on 

if they want employees to use vacation or 

sick time.

In Entertainment 

“Extraction” heavy on grunts and gore, light on depth and story 

In the 1980s, a slew of manly man 

action movies graced (?) the silver screen, 

showcasing bullet proof muscle bound 

hunks who could mow down a wellequipped 

army and rescue any and all 

hostages with nary a slicked back piece of 

hair out of place. Throughout the succeeding 

decades, these B-films have lost their 

standing with the general audience but 

have managed to cement their place in the 

world of problematic film nostalgia. 

Occasionally, movie studios have tried 

to revive this questionably beloved subgenre 

with little successes here and there. 

Lately, they have found their niche with 

films that feature a leaner assassin who 

sports a wry grin and a wink at the audience 

as they both poke fun at their more 

muscled relatives. 

But “Extraction,” the latest film to try 

its hand at B-movie action lore, is not like 

those movies. It is a more sincere throwback 

to the greats (?) of the 1980s and really 

goes all in on the pointless violence without 

the wry grin. Like its counterparts, it 

tries to offer moments of depth while 

simultaneously refusing to examine human 

emotion. 

In this more pointedly serious look at 

the manly man film, Chris Hemsworth 

plays Tyler Rake, who, despite his name, is 

not the hero in a series of romantic novels. 

Instead, Tyler is a mercenary who struggles 

with hidden grief through a combination 

of pills and booze, plunging off of steep 

cliffs and accepting kill contracts for a 

hefty sum. 

Upon coming home from minutes of 

quiet, underwater contemplation, he is 

offered a new and different contract by his 

handler: rescue the son of a jailed crime 

lord and receive the biggest payload of his 

career. 

With orders that he can kill anyone in 

his way — just as long as the boy is not 

harmed, that is — Tyler and his small crew 

undertake the dangerous mission to 

extract Ovi Mahajan (Rudhraksh Jaiswal) 

from the clutches of a rival drug lord in a 

major city center in India. Naturally, it 

takes the highly skilled Tyler only minutes 

to perform this task. (And he even dispatches 

a foe with a rake!) 

But as the duo are making their barelya-sweat-broken-escape, 

they are accosted 

by a seemingly endless amount of police, 

soldiers and ordinary citizens on the payroll 

of rival drug lord and kidnapper Amir 

Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli). Tyler, quickly 

realizing that this is proving to be his most 

perilous mission yet, has to examine that 

sliver of feeling he has left and determine 

whether the innocent Ovi is worth the risk. 

Disregarding the faux depth presented 

in the film, the action scenes in 

“Extraction” are top notch. While I’m not a 

big fan of shoot-em-up movies, I do appreciate 

a highly choreographed knife fight and 

that is what “Extraction” gives. The director, 

Sam Hargrave, cut his teeth choreographing 

battle scenes in the Marvel comic 

movies and his skill really comes through 

but in a much bloodier way. 

But action is really all “Extraction” has 

going for it, that and missed opportunities. 

While billing itself as a more serious action 

offering, it skimps on the examination of 

the harmful cycle of violence and the physical 

and emotional damage loss can have on 

a person. I’m not looking for an honest look 

at the horrors of violence in a violent action 

film, but a little awareness and reflection 

would have gone a long way. 

Another real loss is the decision to put 

Randeep Hooda in a secondary position. In 

the film, he plays Saju Rav, a subordinate 

of Ovi’s father who is tasked with rescuing 

the kidnapped teen. While he would have 

been willing to do it anyway as he does care 

for the boy, Ovi’s father ordered him to do 

so under threat of the lives of his own wife 

and child. Saju is a morally complex character 

and this film would have been a great 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra Cordle 

vehicle for Hooda as 

the primary character. 

That is not to say 

that Hemsworth is a 

bad choice, however, 

but he is a strange 

actor in the sense 

that his charisma waxes and wanes with 

the type of role he is playing. In this role as 

the great Tyler Rake, he comes across as 

the dull stoic and not the damaged stoic I 

think was meant for his character. He can 

pull off the “manly man” persona though. 

With all of that said, if you don’t mind 

your B-movie throwback action flick to be 

full of bullets and grunts in the place of dialogue, 

I think you’ll find some enjoyment in 

this film. But if you’re looking for something 

with a bit more humor or depth, you 

might want to skip past this one. 

Grade: C-

What is Hope? - Quotes from Readers in the Community 

“Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” - Joshua J. Marine 

“Hope removes fear in times of adversity and chaos.” - Karen V., 67 

To me Hope is the lifeline of life and fulfillment. Without Hope we have nothing to help us push through 

adversity. Hope is the light that guides us. Joe Moriart, 39

State tax due date extended 

The Ohio Tax Commissioner announced the state of Ohio and 

all Ohio municipalities will match the extended July 15, 2020 federal 

income tax due date for returns and taxes originally due April 

15, 2020. 

This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, 

trusts and estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers 

as well as those who pay self-employment tax. 

Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the 

IRS, the municipality or the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) 

to qualify for this automatic tax filing and payment relief. 

Business and individual taxpayers who need additional time to 

file beyond the July 15 deadline can request a filing extension by 

submitting Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software 

or with the IRS. Businesses who need additional time must file 

Form 7004 with the IRS. Please note that any extension granted 

to a taxpayer who files a Form 4868 or Form 7004 is based on the 

original due date of April 15; i.e., a six-month extension would 

make the new filing due date Oct. 15 with a pay due date of July 

15. 

Taxes due prior to April 15, 2020 are not affected by the automatic 

extension and should be paid. 

First and second quarter estimated tax deadline has been 

extended to July 15, 2020. Penalties and interest will begin to 

accrue on any remaining unpaid balances as of July 16, 2020. You 

will automatically avoid interest and penalties on the taxes paid 

by July 15. 

Visit the IRS coronavirus web page at www.irs.gov for additional 

information. 

A graduation to remember 


A local family with six high school seniors graduating in the class of 2020, the cousins, who were graduating 

from area high schools on the same day, were heartbroken because their family would not be able 

to see them in their caps and gowns. Then an aunt scheduled a photo shoot for all of them. This not only 

provided their grandma and aunts - Jewell Tilley, Jodie Sanders and Rhonda Snyder - with the opportunity 

to see them in their caps and gowns, but also to capture a record of their memorable 2020 graduation. 

The graduates are from left to right: Cree Tilley, Bishop Ready; Alex McCafferty, Highland; Chris 

Snyder, Canal Winchester; Donovan Sanders, Bishop Ready; Jada Van Houten, Grove City; and Nate Van 

Houten, Central Crossing. (Photo by Rhonda Snyder)
