Trash collection
changes in Prairie
By Amanda Ensinger
Staff Writer
The way trash is collected in Prairie
Township will be changing soon.
At a recent meeting, the board of
trustees approved a resolution placing
more regulation on how trash is collected
in the township. Among the changes with
the resolution are that trash haulers
should be licensed with the township, show
proof of current and valid general comprehensive
liability/vehicle insurance policy

Hague Avenue sanitary
sewer project receives funding
A total of $27.4 million in funding is being recommended
for 13 projects in Franklin County by the District 3
Public Works Integrating Committee. The communities
requested funding through a state capital improvement
program and a local transportation improvement program.
The programs are administered by the Ohio Public
Works Commission and provide financial assistance to
local communities for the improvement of their basic infrastructure
systems.
“The Ohio Public Works Commission continues to be an
important component in financing road, bridge, sanitary
sewer and sidewalk construction throughout Franklin
County,” said Franklin County Engineer Cornell
Robertson, who chairs the District 3 Public Works
Integrating Committee. “With this year’s awards, many
important infrastructure improvements for a variety of
local agencies will receive grants and loans necessary to
construct these projects.”
Eligible projects include improvements to roads,
bridges, culverts, water supply systems, wastewater
systems, storm water collection systems and
solid waste disposal facilities. County, city, village,
township and other infrastructure districts located
in Franklin County were eligible to apply.
The Franklin County Sanitary Engineer
received an award in the amount of $2.2
million for the North Hague Avenue sanitary
sewer collections system. The estimated
project cost is $4 million.

and be registered and in compliance with the requirements of the
Franklin County Board of Health.
The license is $150 and is valid until Dec. 31, 2021. Each year
haulers will need to purchase a new license.
“There will only be trash on a street one day a week and trash
must be in a proper container,” said Rob Peters, township administrator.
“A container must have a lid on it and if you already have
a container like this you don’t need to purchase a new one.”
Peters said residents will still be able to pick their own hauler,
as long as the hauler they select is licensed in the township.
Trash will be picked up on the eastside of the township on
Monday, the central part of the township on Tuesday, and the
western part of the township on Wednesday.
Peters previously said the reason for these changes is because
there has been an increasing rodent problem in the township.
“We are having a rat issue with the trash on the streets almost
every day of the week,” Peters said. “Having trash frequently out
is a food source for them. Not having trash out four days a week
will help solve this problem.”
He also said having trash just in bags on
Douglas, Ed, Jim
and Kip Malek
Ben Churchhill
the street for pickup is an issue.
“When trash is not in a container with a
lid, it is easily accessible to rodents and
racoons,” he said. “Having it in proper containers
will eliminate this issue, as well as
help keep the township clean because trash
bags won’t be opened, and trash won’t be
spilled everywhere by these animals.”
These changes will go into effect March
1, 2021.
In other news, the board approve a
COVID-19 leave policy. This policy is from
Jan. 1 to July 31 and allows any employee
who has tested positive for COVID-19 or
has had close contact exposure to an individual
with COVID-19 and is required to
quarantine be off work on administrative
leave. The employee’s department head
will report the incident requiring the necessary
administrative leave to the township
administrator for approval.
Any employee who is off work for exposure
and is not ill, will be required to work
from home if possible. Work from home status
will require approval by the township
administrator and will be considered work
time.
“COVID related incidents are paid as
administrative leave,” Peters said. “There
is no limit on time and each incident is
evaluated independently.”

Bus drivers in short supply in South-Western
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
The South-Western City Schools transportation
department is experiencing a
staffing shortage.
At the Jan. 25 board of education meeting,
Transportation Supervisor Tim Cox
said during his annual report that the
number of bus drivers on hand do not meet
the number of drivers in years past.
“This has been a rough year,” he said.
According to the numbers in his report,
there are currently 180 full-time bus drivers,
48 bus aides, 17 substitute drivers and
13 substitute bus aides.
While those numbers may seem robust,
said Monte Detterman, the district’s director
of business services, they do fall well
short of the healthy staffing levels they like
to see.
“There is always a need for drivers,” he
said, “but in a typical year, we have 184
full-time bus drivers and between 25 and
30 substitute bus drivers.
“We know that those numbers are not
always feasible or reasonable, but that is
where we have been for the past couple of
years.”
The staffing shortage, he went on to
add, is not just being felt at the district.
“It is all over,” said Detterman. “Every
industry that needs CDL (Commercial
Driver’s License) drivers are experiencing
Blood drive at Doctors Hospital
The American Red Cross typically has a
tough time keeping the blood supply strong
during the winter months when inclement
weather and seasonal illnesses can impact
donors. This year the pandemic adds in
another challenge in keeping the blood
supply strong. The Red Cross is urging
healthy individuals to make an appointment
to give blood or platelets this month.
There will be a blood drive from 8:30 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m. at OhioHealth Doctors
Hospital in the Heritage Center for
Osteopathic Medical Education, 5131
Beacon Hill Road. Make your appointment
to give blood, platelets or plasma with the

WNA accepting applications
for scholarship program
The Westgate Neighbors Association
(WNA) is accepting applications for its
annual education scholarship. The $500
award is provided to a student pursuing
college or vocational education. Eligible
students may complete and submit their
application online at www.westgateneighbors.org.
Applications are due by March
31.
This scholarship is funded by a portion
of the proceeds from the annual Westgate
Home & Garden Tour. It is awarded to a
resident of Westgate who contributes to
the betterment of their community through
demonstrated service and leadership activities.

a shortage. I think this is a trend that will
continue well into the future.”
He said the department is currently
recruiting to shore up its numbers but said
it may take some time to fill the vacant
positions.
“This is not a job where we can hire
someone today and then they start driving
tomorrow,” Detterman said. “There is a
lengthy and involved process, even for the
people who currently have their CDL certification.
“They have to undergo drug testing, get
physicals and do so many hours of training
with instructors on school bus procedures.
When you add everything up, the hiring
process can take up to six weeks just to get
through the required training to be able to
drive students.”
He said not only is the district looking
for people who can meet those state standards,
but they are also looking for candidates
who show care and compassion
toward children.
“They are the frontline people,” he said.
“They are the first person the students see
when going to school and they are the last
person the students see when they are
going home. They have to have good interactions
with children and really be a caring
and compassionate presence.”
He said that those interested in being a
bus driver, whether it is in a full-time
capacity or as a substitute driver, can contact
the transportation services directly
through the district’s website or visit the
employment page at the district’s website,
www.swcsd.us.
Detterman and Cox both said that while
there is currently a staffing shortage, they
do not expect delays in bus routes.
“Our drivers are doing a fantastic job
and they will continue to get kids to school
on time and drop them back home on time
too,” said Detterman.
In other transportation news, the
department was recently named a recipient
of a Diesel Mitigation Trust Fund
Grant that will replace 23 buses over the
next three years. According to Detterman,
the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
grant will cover 22.5 percent of the cost of
the bus replacement, which amounts to
roughly $518,811.
Detterman said they will replace the
older and less environmentally-friendly
bus models in their fleet.
“The buses that we use can range anywhere
between $65,000 to $115,000 per bus
so while this grant will not cover the entire
cost it will help offset some of the expenses,
which is great.”

The city of Columbus is beginning
to rewrite the zoning code.
The Columbus Department of
Development and the Department
of Building and Zoning Services are
leading the code rewrite project to
address inequality in the code and
changing zoning patterns across
the city.
“While the city is doing well and
certain communities are doing well,
other neighborhoods are not.
They’re not enjoying the same
opportunities or access to growth
that other areas of the city area,”
said Anthony Celebreeze, assistant
director of the Department of
Building and Zoning Services during
the Feb. 2 Greater Hilltop Area
Commission meeting.
The current version of the city’s
zoning code was written in the
early 1950s, Celebreeze said. The
city has revised the code multiple
times, but it has not completely
reviewed or rewritten the code
within the last 70 years.
With large amounts of growth
projected in the city, now is the
time to revisit the code, Celebreeze
said.
More than a million people are
expected to live in the city of
Columbus in the next 10 years. And
despite the pandemic, 2020 held
the second highest number of zoning
applications for building and
projects in the city.
Many current projects are also
being carried out through
coding variances, which
shows that “there’s a disconnect
with how our zoning
code is and what the
demand for development
is,” Celebreeze said.
Building desires in the
city are shifting toward
multi-family units and
increasingly walkable

should account for, he said.
The project will take place in
two phases. The first phase of the
project began in early December,
2020. The Department of
Development and the Department
of Building and Zoning Services
partnered with Lisa Wise
Consulting to develop a strategy for
the code rewrite. The city in the
process of gathering information,
thoughts and opinions from experts
and community members across
the city, which will then be used to
develop a strategy for the second
phase of the project, Celebreeze
said.
During the second phase, the
city will rewrite the code with feedback
from community members.
“So we’ll be bringing ideas to you
all about what we’re thinking, getting
feedback from you all and
going back and figuring out if we’re
on the wrong path or if we’re on the
right path,” Celebreeze said.
The first phase is projected to
end in the summer. The second
phase is estimated to take 18-24
months after that.

The Franklin Township trustees will
examine information related to a police
levy for the township. At a recent board
meeting, Franklin Township Police Chief
Byron Smith said asking voters for another
temporary levy won’t work.
“A temporary levy won’t sustain us
through the end of the year,” he said. “I
would like to petition the county auditor to
pull numbers related to replacing all three
levies the department currently has with
one permanent levy.”
The police department operates with
two permanent levies and one temporary or
timed levy. The timed levy brings in
approximately $600,000 a year and combined
the two permanent levies bring in
approximately $750,000 a year.
Smith said the department needs to get
this levy passed as soon as possible as they
are losing officers because of job insecurity
fears. He said they have already lost one
full-time officer and anticipate losing
another in the coming weeks. He said once
that happens, they will only have 10 fulltime
officers, including himself, and two
part-time officers. The department had 12
full-time officers and two part-time officers.
Trustee John Fleshman said while he
supports having the auditor look into this,
he is concerned residents won’t understand
they are combining all their existing levies
into one.
“If we combine these together it makes
it appear it is more than it is,” Fleshman
said. “If we just ask residents to make the

one temporary levy permanent, they may
understand that more.”
Trustee Aryeh Alex said it doesn’t hurt
to pull the numbers and then the board can
discuss next steps at an upcoming meeting.
Smith said if a levy isn’t passed, they
will not be able to proactively investigate
issues like drug trafficking, robberies and
other felony offenses. He also fears losing
staff.
“We will lose a minimum of five officers,”
he said. “We also will only be able to
take priority runs and won’t be able to
focus on the drug houses or other crime in
the region.”
Smith also asked the board to approve
allowing overtime for officers since they are
currently down several staff members.
“Due to being short staffed, we have officers

safe,” Smith said. “I would like to ask the
board to allow overtime on a case-by-case
basis since this is a safety concern. We
have a big township and a lot of high crime

Smith did say this could create a small
shortfall at the end of the year.
Alex said the board should consider putting
Chief Smith and the lieutenant on the
streets to help officers until these financial
matters are researched further.
“We have severe budget issues,” Alex
said. “We should put the chief and lieutenant
on the road before we spend additional
money.”
The board did allow Smith to start a
background check on replacing the officer
that left but agreed to table the request for
overtime.

Origins of the heart-shaped candy box
Here’s a look at some interesting numbers
associated with Valentine’s Day to celebrate
the love people have for one another.
•400: The year that Pope Gelasius
declared Feb.14 a day to honor Saint
Valentine.
•62: The percentage of adults who say
Hearts abound on February 14, and few
symbols (and gifts) are more widely associated
with a holiday than heart-shaped
boxes of chocolate are with Valentine’s
Day.
Chocolates became trendy in the mid-
19th century when the first chocolate bar
was made by British company J.S. Fry &
Sons by combining cacao powder with
sugar and cacao butter to make a rich,
melt-in-your-mouth treat that was
markedly different than the gritty and
greasy drinking chocolate that was losing
popularity in Europe. Within a few years,
competitor Cadbury introduced the first
box of chocolates. It was called the ‘Fancy
Box’ and it didn’t take long to become wildly
popular.
The marriage of chocolate and heartshaped
boxes seemed a natural progression,
but the National Valentine Collectors
Association says that heart-shaped boxes
actually predate chocolate boxes. Various
heart-shaped vessels were popularized a
century earlier. There even were heartshaped
porcelain boxes as well as ones for
sewing.
Having already introduced a chocolate
box, Richard Cadbury marketed the first
Valentine’s Day box in 1861. It was filled
with delicious chocolates, and later could
be saved as a keepsake to store special
notes or other mementos, according to the
North American Packaging Association.
Furthermore, the gift fit with Victorian
sensibilities in that it was demurely suggestive,
NPR reports. Its introduction coincided
perfectly with Valentine’s Day, which
Valentine’s Day by the numbers
they celebrate the holiday.
•1.7: The amount, in billions, that is
spent on candy for Valentine’s Day, according
to the National Retail Federation.
•512: The average dollar amount spent
per person for Valentine’s Day.
•58: The number of pounds, in millions,
of chocolate bought during Valentine’s Day
also soared in popularity around the same
time.
Giving chocolate on Valentine’s Day also
proved popular in North America. The
American chocolate company Hershey’s
introduced its Hershey’s Kisses in 1907,
and in 1912 the Whitman’s Sampler
arrived. In the 1920s, Russell Stover
unveiled their own heart-shaped boxes,
which today still include the Red Foil
Heart and the Secret Lace Heart.
Today, more than 36 million heartshaped
boxes holding 58 million pounds of
chocolate are sold each year, reports the
education resource SoftSchools. They have
become a quintessential symbol of
Valentine’s Day celebrations.

millions, sent each year for the day of love.

Americans are expected to spend on

The meaning
of rose colors
Roses are a popular gift on Valentine’s
Day. When accompanied by a box of chocolates,
a bouquet of long-stemmed roses is
sure to make a sweetheart smile on Feb.
14.
Few people may know that the color of a
rose is meant to convey a certain message.
As a result, even the most head-over-heelsin-love
man or woman may not be saying
what they mean to say when giving roses.
If that special someone has a favorite color
of rose, then it might be wise to give that
color regardless of what tradition suggests.
But when sweethearts have no such preferences,
it might be best to keep this guide
in mind.
•Red: Red roses say “I love you.” Red is
symbolic of love, especially romantic love.
Red also symbolizes beauty, courage and
respect.
•Pink: Pink is a popular color on
Valentine’s Day, but sweethearts should
know that pink roses say “Thank you,”
which makes them a better choice for
friends than lovers.
•White: White roses say “I am the one
for you.” White symbolizes true love, purity,
innocence, reverence, humility, youthfulness,
and charm.
•Yellow: Yellow roses say “We’re
friends and I care about you.” Joy, gladness,
friendship, delight, and remembrance
are just a few of the sentiments yellow
conveys.
•Yellow with red tip: Yellow roses may
be best for friends, but yellow roses with
red tips say “I’m falling in love with you.”
•Orange/coral: Another awe-inspiring
color, orange/coral roses say “I want you in
my life.” This color indicates desire, enthusiasm
and fascination.
•Red and white together: A mixed bouquet
of red and white roses says “We are a
great match.”
•Peach: Peach symbolizes intimacy,
telling a lover, “Let’s make this a memorable
Valentine’s Day.”
Different color roses say different
things, meaning Valentine’s Day celebrants
can find a rose to convey any message
they hope to send this Feb. 14.

Hilltop History & Heritage
This advertisement is originally from 1917 and appeared in
the Hilltop Record, the newspaper predecessor to the
Columbus Messenger. The Hilltop Undertaking Company was
part of the Noble Allen Funeral Home, located at 2352 West
Broad St., on the north side of Broad between Oakley and
Wayne avenues. Mr. E.L. Engle was the general manager and
his wife, Mrs. E.L. Engle, was the lady embalmer. It was unusual
in this time period for a lady’s name to be listed in such an
ad because women were not generally accepted as
embalmers by the public. Also, note that two telephone numbers
appear on the ad. This is probably because, at that time,
competing, non-interconnecting telephone networks existed
throughout the country. So, at least two existed then on the
Hilltop and the Engles did not want to miss out on any potential
clients. The funeral home has long since been demolished.

Pets of the week
Sally is hoping
someone will give
her the biggest gift of
all - a furever home!
This cutie is about 2
years old and was
plucked from the
country. Sally flops
on her side for full
body rubs. She really enjoys being near her
person to get as much pet time as she can.
Sally is available for adoption through Friends
for Life Animal Haven.
FYI: www.fflah.org
Cha Cha would
make a great addition
to any family. She
is mostly quiet, other
than snoring. She is
housebroken and
eager to please. She
enjoys a good nap,
playing with her toys
and going out for walks. She is well-mannered
and easy going. Cha Cha is up for adoption at
the Franklin County Dog Shelter. Make an
appointment to meet her today.
FYI: www.franklincountydogs.com
www.columbusmessenger.com
These furry friends are available
for adoption at local
rescues and shelters
Carmen, a 1-yearold
shepherd mix, is
still adjusting to the
shelter, so her behavior
has been a little
quiet and reserved.
Once she’s in a new
home, she may relax
and become more
social, or may need a little more time and
patience to come out of her shell. Make an
appointment to meet this sweet gal at the
county shelter.
FYI: www.franklincountydogs.com
Ellie and Lucy are
bonded sisters who
are 6 months old.
They are very sweet
and playful but are
shy with new people
and environments.
Ellie and Lucy will
need time to get
acclimated to a new home. They are both
spayed, microchipped, FL/FIV negative and
up to date on vaccines. They would love to
stay together if possible. Adopt these
adorable sisters from Colony Cats and Dogs.
