Pursuing Good Together 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

The idea of a group of people coming together to talk about 

their differences hasn’t always been divisive. 

“There used to be a time when you could sit down with your 

friends, family or strangers, share your views and experiences, 

and still come away liking them,” said John Rush. 

He said that practice of expression, of tolerance, has been 

slowly chipping away for years. 

“Everything is so polarized right now,” said Rush. “We can’t 

figure out a way to sit down at a table together and talk anymore.” 

He said that while he knows it may take some time to bridge 

that divide, he still believes in the power of people coming 

together in order to pursue a better world. 

One of the best examples of that steadfast certainty, he said, 

was the recent installation of a large mural commissioned by the 

local non-profit Summer Jam West (SJW). 

Designed by Columbus-based artists Marcus Billingsley, 

Thom Glick, and Lucie Shearer, the triad colored mural shows 

three people sitting around a table, sharing food, sharing drinks, 

sharing conversation and comradery. Who they are in relation to 

each other, as well as what they are discussing, is left up to the 

individual. 

“All art is open for interpretation,” said Shearer, “but we 

deliberately left open those talk bubbles you see at the top so 

people can use their imaginations to literally fill in the blanks.” 

People who attended the public dedication of the mural, which 

is located on the side of the building at Third Way Café on West 

Broad Street, had fun putting words in their mouths. 

“They’re talking about their location,” said one. 

“They’re debating on who is wearing the coolest glasses,” said 

another. 

“They’re making fun of the adult guy who is eating a peanut 

butter and jelly sandwich,” joked Billingsley, adding that it was 

included because of his own fondness for them. 

Rush and his son Tim, co-owners of Third Way Café, watched

SWCS explains 

its mask policy 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

South-Western City School officials say 

the decision to wear a facial covering will 

be left up to the individual. 

In its back-to-school newsletter released 

on Aug. 6, the district announced they 

would no longer require students and staff 

to wear facial coverings at the start of the 

2021-22 school year. Instead, the district 

will recommend masks be worn to protect 

themselves and others against COVID-19 

but the policy will not be enforced. 

District officials say they came to this 

determination through a “number of conversations 

with public health officials” and 

“the experiences they learned during the 

last school year and throughout the summer.” 

They said they will continue to follow 

layered protocols recommended by public 

health boards to mitigate the potential

“This is exactly what we wanted when we gave permission 

for this mural to be placed here,” said Tim 

Rush during the event. “It’s bringing people in the 

community together, and that is what we all want to 

see.” 

Danny Peterson, executive director of SJW, agreed 

with that sentiment. 

“Our theme for this year — which was generously 

borrowed from an expression John and Tim like to use 

— is ‘Pursuing Good Together’ and it is best exemplified 

by these artists and their creation.” 

He said Billingsley, Glick and Shearer had not

spread of COVID-19 in their schools. 

“We are continuing many of our practices and protocols 

from last school year, which include but are not 

limited to physical distancing, hand washing and respiratory 

etiquette and cleaning and maintaining 

healthy facilities including ventilation improvements,” 

wrote Sandra Nekoloff, the district’s executive director 

of communications, in an email. 

She added that the district will also continue to follow 

the Ohio Department of Health’s quarantine and 

contact tracing guidelines; recommend but not require 

(COVID-19) vaccines; make appropriate accommodations 

for students with disabilities; and follow federal 

orders on transportation protocols. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC) is requiring that all students who take public 

transportation to school wear a facial covering while 

they are on the bus. 

The public reaction to the district’s announcement 

that it would be a ‘mask-friendly’ district for the start 

of the 2021-22 school year on Aug. 25 was mixed. For 

every person who celebrated the decision, there was 

one who expressed disappointment. 

Chandra Fredrick was one of those who were disappointed 

by the district’s decision not to require masks 

for its students and staff. On Aug. 9, she came before 

the board of education at its regular meeting to ask the 

district to reconsider its choice. 

Fredrick said one of her children, a 10-year-old who 

is going into his fifth grade year, is immunocompromised 

and she fears for his safety should she send him 

to school with the current guidelines in place. 

She said prior to the revised mask policy announcement, 

she and her husband had enough confidence in 

the district’s decision-making process regarding 

COVID-19 protocols last year that they re-enrolled 

their three children after nearly a year of home-schooling. 

“Because our district did such a great job with 

COVID precautions last year, we felt comfortable 

enrolling our kids in school for the fall,” said Fredrick. 

“But now, you’re throwing away the most important

concept for SJW’s annual mural contest made it seem 

like they had been a team for years. 

“They all have their own creative style, but their 

vision was seamless,” he said. “It was just stunningly 

executed.” 

Peterson said the artists should be proud of their 

work and take pride in the impact their art is going to 

have on the community for years to come. 

“I think the message of their piece, along with the 

story of how three people from different backgrounds 

all came together with one goal in mind, can serve as a 

reminder of what we can do if we all work together to 

pursue something better for our world.” 

method of protection for our unvaccinated kids by not 

requiring masks in school. 

“We know that masks work. We know the science. 

You’re an education board, you teach science. We know 

that masks work. We know masks are the reason that 

transmission in our schools was so low last year. You 

can say that you care about all of our kids but your current 

policy demonstrates the opposite.” 

Fredrick said her child wants to go to school, wants 

to catch up with his friends and wants to get involved 

in activities. She said she wants to send him to school 

but is filled with anxiety by the thought of doing so if 

the district maintains its current policy. She said children 

who are immunocompromised or disabled should 

not have to find alternative methods of learning simply 

because “some parents don’t want their kids to wear a 

mask.” 

Shortly before this article went to press, Governor 

Mike DeWine urged school districts throughout the 

state to reconsider their mask policies if they have not 

mandated its use. “At the very least,” he wrote on this 

official Twitter account, “consider requiring masks for 

the next few weeks when we know the spread level will 

be very high.” 

As of press time, district officials maintain they will 

begin the school year with its current requirements 

and protocols in place. They said their policies could 

change if mandates were to change. 

In March, the state legislature passed Senate Bill 

22 which allows lawmakers to rescind health orders 

like the mask mandate via concurrent resolution, 

which circumvents the governor. It also blocks local 

health departments from banning mass gatherings or 

closing schools unless a dangerous communicable disease 

becomes unusually prevalent. 

In July, Franklin County Public Health and 

Columbus Public Health recommended universal 

masking policies for all students and staff members in 

the upcoming 2021-22 school year — even if they are 

fully vaccinated. 

Children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible to 

receive the COVID-19 vaccination.


Trash summit held on the Hilltop 

By Andrea Cordle 

Westside Editor 

Trash is not a new issue in the Hilltop, but it is a 

persistent one. 

On Aug. 7, the Greater Hilltop Area Commission 

hosted a trash summit at Briggs Road Baptist Church 

to bring city leaders and community members together 

to discuss possible solutions. 

According to Hilltop commissioner Zerqa Abid, illegal 

dumping and trash cans that are just too full are 

the most common complaints coming from residents. 

She said the most impacted areas include South 

Central Hilltop, Highland West, and the Wedgewood 

Village Apartments. 

Abid said Hilltop volunteers work tirelessly to clean 

the area, but as soon as someone picks up the trash, 

more can be found. 

“Volunteers alone cannot keep the Hilltop clean,” 

said Abid. “We need proper funding.” 

Commissioner Geoffrey Phillips said there is a lot of 

illegal dumping in the Hilltop. He said the amount of 

trash invites wild animals, like rats and racoons. 

“This is dangerous,” said Phillips. “We should not 

have this.” 

Several residents spoke out at the meeting about 

the problem. 

“The amount of trash is sickening,” said Jim Boggs. 

“The residents cannot pick up all that trash.” 

Lis Regula said there has been an increase in littering 

and dumping but a decrease in the number of times 

the city of Columbus picks up the trash. 

“The bins are full, and they are not being emptied,” 

said Regula. “I keep hearing about all these programs, 

but I never see anything done.” 

Tim Swauger, the administrator for the Columbus 

Division of Refuse, attended the trash summit and 

said city employees get frustrated with the issue just 

as residents do. 

“We want a clean and safe neighborhood,” he said. 

According to Swauger, people are not driving their 

trash to the Hilltop to dump it. 

“This is coming from within,” he said. 

He said much of the illegal dumping stems from 

landlords. The Hilltop has many rental units and when 

people move out, some leave their items in the alley 

and do not arrange for bulk pick-up. He said city crews 

will clean up the mess, and the next day, it is right 

back out there. 

Last year, the city filed 58 charges of illegal dumping, 

resulting in 51 convictions, said Swauger. This 

year, the city has filed 30 charges which has led to nine 

convictions. In 2020, the city also enacted code changes 

that include civil penalties for those caught dumping. 

So far this year, the city has filed 41 civil penalties for 

approximately $39,000. 

Regarding complaints from residents that report 

trash is not picked up weekly, Swauger said, “Our goal

community events 

is 100 percent success. We don’t always reach that but 

over 99 percent of the trash is collected.” 

The city collects trash each week. Recycling and 

yard waste are collected every other week. 

According to Abid, the city needs to invest in the 

Hilltop to address the trash problem. She suggested 

creating trash truck follow-up crews to clean up what 

the division of refuse may miss. She also suggested 

funding for a public education campaign. 

“It all boils down to money,” said Abid. 

The commissioner said some other ways to improve 

the trash situation would be put more public trash 

cans along the main corridors, like West Broad Street 

and Sullivant Avenue, weekly litter cleanups, free 

replacement of stolen or damaged recycling bins, and 

changing the 300-gallon trash bins to the 90-gallon 

bin. This has already been done 

in certain areas in the Hilltop. 

Several city council members 

attended the trash summit and 

said they would take the concerns 

of the community into 

consideration. 

“It makes me angry to hear 

what you are facing,” said councilman 

Emmanuel Remy. “We 

have to continue to look for 

ongoing, sustainable solutions.” 

Remy said the city partnered 

with the YMCA to hire nearly 

400 young adults to clean neighborhoods. 

As of August, the participants 

have logged more than 

7,000 hours of litter cleanup 

time and collected more than 

34,000 pounds of trash. More 

than 11,000 pounds of that total 

came from the Hilltop. 

Remy also spoke about the 

Cleaner Columbus program 

that hires organizations to 

employ homeless or under 

employed individuals to clean 

litter on commercial corridors. 

“Litter is a symptom of overreaching 

other problems,” said 

Remy. 

Councilman Rob Dorans suggested 

that the city review a 

reward program for information 

that leads to the conviction of 

illegal dumpers. He also said 

the city will launch a new 311 

system this fall. 

“It will be more user-friendly,” 

he said.

Staff Writer 

A local township will once again ask taxpayers 

to approve a levy that they say is 

needed to sustain the department. 

At a recent meeting, the Franklin 

Township Trustees approved moving forward 

with a police levy. 

The police department will ask voters to 

approve a 7-mill police levy. The five-year 

timed levy would replace an existing timed 

levy that is set to expire at the end of 2022, 

as well as add an additional 3-mills to the 

levy. Under the current levy, residents pay 

about $100 per year per every $100,000 in 

property value. If the new levy is approved, 

that amount would essentially double. 

This is the second time the department 

has asked for a levy this year. In the 

spring, residents rejected a 7.37-mill permanent 

levy. 

At the time the levy failed, Franklin 

Township Police Chief Byron Smith said 

the department would have to cut the third 

shift to operate within their means. 

However, at a recent meeting Smith said 

they are trying to do everything they can to 

avoid this. 

The department currently has two other 

permanent levies it collects from township 

taxpayers. Those two levies bring in 

approximately $700,000 a year for the 

department. The new levy, should the voters 

approve it, would generate $1.2 million 

for the police department. 

Smith said the funds from the levy 

would be used for operational expenses, 

including paying for salary, equipment and 

other department needs. 

The trustees were split on how much 

money to ask taxpayers for since the previous 

levy failed, and they recently asked 

voters for a fire levy. 

Trustee Aryeh Alex said that his preference 

would be to ask for a renewal because 

it would not have a tax increase for township 

residents. However, Smith opposed 

this. 

“The first option, it would be important 

to inform residents that if they pass it, they 

will lose services because there would be 

mandatory lay-offs,” Smith said. “My preference 

would be the second or third option.” 

Smith added that putting a renewal of 

the five-year levy on the ballot would be 

pointless as the police department would 

still need to lay off officers in 2023 due to 

lack of funding. 

Franklin Township Fiscal Officer Nick 

Dunn echoed this sentiment. 

“In a five-year projection, the proposal 

shows if the levy passes by the end of 2023 

there will be a shortfall of $300,000 for the 

police department,” Dunn said.

Some residents still are not sold on the 

idea of another levy, especially when a fire 

levy was recently passed. 

“I am a huge supporter of law enforcement, 

but I am not in favor of another tax 

hike,” said David Byers, township resident. 

“The fire levy passed a while back and the 

township is still short of firefighters, and I 

heard the possibility of firefighters still 

could be laid off, so where are our tax dollars 

going? I understand expenses, etc. Is 

the money being used properly? What 

about our roads, all the abandoned houses 

and neglected properties in the township 

that have been there for years, even 

decades, and not much has been done 

about them. I may consider voting for a 

police levy in the future but not this year.”

Pets of the week 

These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 


Remy is a sweet, 7- 

year-old girl. She 

loves to run around 

and explore. She is 

active and outgoing 

and would benefit 

from a family with a 

similar lifestyle. You 

will love her goofy 

nature. Remy is a little 

uncomfortable with other dogs and would 

need to meet any furry friends before adoption. 

Adopt her from the Franklin County Dog 

Shelter. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Honey Bear, 8, 

makes a fantastic 

furry friend. He is 

great around other 

dogs, but sometimes 

he needs a little time 

to warm up to them. 

He struggled with 

shyness when he 

first arrived, but 

Honey Bear has graduated from the Shy Dog 

Program. He likes to explore, he comes when 

called and he is fond of attention. Honey Bear 

is up for adoption at the county shelter. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Claus is a 6-monthold 

boy who is currently 

in foster care 

as he is a bit cautious 

when at the adoption 

center. He gets comfortable 

once he gets 

to know you. His coat 

is super soft and he 

has a sweet purr 

when you pick him 

up. Give him a chance. Claus is up for adoption 

through Colony Cats. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Arco has a nice and 

easy going personality. 

He gets along well 

with other dogs but is 

not great around 

cats. Arco knows his 

basic commands and 

is up to date on all 

vaccines. He is 75 

pounds of love and 

about 7 years old. 

Arco is up for adoption through Friends for 

Life Animal Haven.
