PAGE 8 - GROVE CITY MESSENGER - April 18, 2021 Livestock legislation halted www.columbusmessenger.com By Dedra Cordle Staff Writer Differing versions of an ordinance to prohibit farm animals and livestock from taking up residence in the village of Urbancrest has temporarily halted its adoption. The mix-up was unveiled at the April 13 council meeting as the third and final reading of the policy went up for a vote. Before that vote could happen and turn this policy into village law, Law Director Rodd Lawrence said that it was not in the “correct legal form to be approved.” According to Lawrence, the text of the legislation was missing the correct legal language and form, thus making the ordinance unsubstantial. “There is no substance to this ordinance,” he said. He then asked the council if they had made any changes to the ordinance as the same concerns were expressed last year. In August, village council introduced its first version of the ordinance that would prohibit residents from possessing farm animals or livestock on their property. It was pulled from the table shortly thereafter because Lawrence said it was “not in the correct form.” Additionally, code enforcement officer Randall Bogue wanted to make clarifications about service animals within the text. After Lawrence questioned the latest version, councilwoman Alicia Wiggins said that the version he had before him was the wrong version. “We made changes to that version and I gave an updated copy to you and the council at the meeting in December,” she said. While attending the meeting virtually, Wiggins read her version of the legislation and Lawrence agreed that it appeared to be in the correct form. The problem, however, was that members of the council and the law director all had different versions of the legislation. Because the majority of the council was attending virtually, copies of the latest version of the legislation could not be distributed. Instead, the council agreed to once again table the passage of the legislation until May so they could “all get on the same page.” The latest version does include changes from the version that was presented last year and it is not just limited to the legal language of the documents. The version that is slated to be voted upon next month includes changes to the time residents have to remove an animal after receiving a cease and desist order (30 days in the first version, 35 days in the latest) and the exclusion of fines. Wiggins said they did not see the point of issuing fines as she did not believe they would be enforced. Mayor Joseph Barnes Sr. said fines have been issued and collected before in regard to other ordinances being violated. However, he added that residents usually comply to cease and desist orders, which make the prospect of fines null. Pictorial Past The Greyhound Grandstand track opened in September 1926 on a former large apple orchard owned by C.F. Neiswender. The greyhound racetrack thrived, in part, because race fans could spend an afternoon watching the horses at Beulah Park and an evening watching the greyhounds within the same small town. The photos and information in the Pictorial Past are provided by Don Ivers, curator of the Grove City Welcome Center and Museum.

The color of a vehicle can say a lot about its driver. Automotive experts say color affects drivers’ decisions when they’re buying new vehicles. In 2015, a survey from PPG Automotive Coatings found the color palette of black, silver, gray, and white makes up 75 percent of new cars on the road. White has been the most popular car color for years, perhaps because neutral tones tend to look new for years, improving resale value as a result. The Pantone Color Institute periodically highlights popular trends in colors for home decorating, graphic design, fashion, and much more. Their experts know a thing about what color can say about a person. Here’s a look at how drivers may perceive themselves (and how others view them) based on their color choices in vehicles, courtesy of Pantone, NerdWallet, Thrillist, and Today.com. •White: This color can often project a persona of a diligent, hardworking person. White is a dependable color that also is sleek and modern. Many people who prefer white also like the purity of the color and its perceived cleanliness. •Black: Black vehicles have stood the test of time as status symbols. Those who purchase black cars may view them as classic and powerful. Black also conveys elegance. That’s why limousines and hired cars are often black. •Silver: Silver cars may have futuristic connotations because of their metallic hues. Silver vehicles also can be elegant and prestigious. A certain element of modernity is associated with silver cars and trucks. •Gray: People who choose gray vehicles may be less concerned about status and more interested in a vehicle that blends in with the crowd. This no-nonsense hue could be ideal for cautious, even-keeled drivers who like to go with the flow. •Blue: Light blue to mid-blue cars convey a sense of calm and coolness. Blue is a dependable color and may indicate the person behind the wheel is friendly. Dark blue can be a confidence-booster and also signal authority, as many police cruisers and law enforcement uniforms feature deep blue. •Red: People who own red cars probably like flash and attention. They’re likely magnetic personalities who enjoy standing out in a crowd. •Green: Green cars indicate owners who have a strong sense of self and care little about what others think of them. They may be the people who march to the beat of their own drums. But the popularity of green cars peaked in the 1990s, so fewer green cars may be on the road today than in the past.
