Music on 

the porch 

Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle 

On Aug. 28, more than a dozen musicians 

who live in the Westgate community 

participated in an international initiative 

known as “Play Music on the 

Porch Day.” The mission of the event, 

which was founded in 2013, is to bring 

people together through song and “light 

up the world with music.” Among those 

participating in the first event to take 

place in the westside neighborhood was 

Colleen Cunningham and Rick Redfern. 

For close to an hour, the duo sat on their 

porch and played the bongos and 

ukulele while encouraging the audience 

to sing along to popular songs such as 

“Kumbaya,” “Puff the Magic Dragon,” 

and “Under the Boardwalk.” Susie Loik, 

the local organizer for “Play Music on 

the Porch Day,” said she was impressed 

by the number of musicians who signed 

on to perform and the variety of instruments 

they played. “We have so many 

talented people here in Westgate,” she 

said. Loik added that they would like to 

see this event grow bigger next year. 

An engaged audience (below) sings 

along with Cunningham and Redfern. 

Some in the group had already attended 

the two morning performances but said 

they looked forward to the rest of the 

events in the afternoon and evening. 

Some of the musical instruments featured 

in those performances were the 

flute, jazz trombone, keyboard, guitar 

and piano.

Improvements

The South-Western City Schools 

District has a fleet of more than 200 buses. 

All are housed as its transportation lot 

located off Southwest Boulevard in Grove 

City. 

When school is in session, this lot is a 

hub of activity. Not only are buses coming 

in and out of the depot multiple times a 

day to take students to school and back 

home, but so too are the vehicles of the 

employees as they start or end their scheduled 

shift. 

When school is not in session, however, 

this lot is still a hub of activity though 

much of it happens outside of the scope of 

the naked eye. 

As the heavy buses sit on the lot and as 

the summer sun beats down on the ground, 

miniscule fissures start to grow under-

neath the asphalt, slowly expanding until they make 

their way to the surface. When they do, action has to 

be taken to stop their destructive process before they 

start to pose a problem for the fleet and employee vehicles. 

Recently, these cracks have become a problem. In 

May, the board of education approved a resolution that 

paved the way for $400,000 worth of repairs to be 

made at the transportation lot. These improvements 

took place over the course of the summer but district 

officials say there is more work to be done. 

On Aug. 23, Mark Meadows, the district’s supervisor 

of property services, presented the board of education 

with an overview of the construction project. He 

said it was so expansive that it had to be broken down 

into three phases which will take place throughout 

2023. 

Phase one was completed before the start of the 

2021-22 school year, he said. The scope of this phase 

included the removal of the current asphalt and the

installation of a “roller-compacted concrete” to extend 

its lifespan so it better holds the weight of the buses. 

“This should service us for years to come,” Meadows 

said. 

Additional phase one improvements include the 

extension of car parking to allow for safer bus turning 

radius and the inclusion of additional parking areas 

for both cars and smaller buses. 

According to Sandra Nekoloff, the district’s executive 

director of communications, phases two and three 

will entail additional asphalt replacements and resurfacing 

repairs. She said these additional phases still 

need to go out for bid so she does not have an estimate 

as to how much money the entire project will cost. 

Meadows said additional, albeit smaller, projects 

were undertaken this summer throughout the district 

as well. 

“Summers are always busy in the facilities and 

property services department, and this summer has 

proved to be no different,” he said. 

According to Meadows, asphalt repairs 

were also done at Buckeye Woods and 

Darby Woods Elementary, behind the 

recreation center at Westland High School, 

and at the district’s service center. 

He said asphalt improvements are also 

slated to be done at the district’s maintenance 

yard. 

“This is an effort to get the district on 

track for a much more regular (sealing and 

striping) routine.” 

Other summer improvements include 

exterior painting of the Bostic Center and 

Darby Woods; playground renovations at 

Finland, Harmon and Stiles elementary; 

dugout improvements at Westland; gate 

partition repairs at Westland and Grove 

City high school; and HVAC improvements 

at the preschool. 

Meadows also said a scoreboard was 

ordered for the boys baseball and girls softball 

teams at Westland. They are slated to 

be delivered in the fall. 

In other meeting news, Carl Metzger, 

the assistant superintendent of personnel, 

gave a staffing update to the board. 

According to Metzger, the district has 2,773 

certificated and classified employees. Of 

that number, 1,748 are certificated employees 

(1,644 teachers, 104 administrators) 

and 1,025 are classified. 

He also added that the district is looking 

for bus drivers, substitute bus drivers, custodians, 

teacher’s aides, and substitute 

teachers. He said to visit their website at 

www.swcsd.us for more information on how 

to apply.

County funds to help those facing eviction 


The Franklin County Commissioners 

approved two contracts to better support 

families facing eviction due to the ongoing 

pandemic. 

The Franklin County Municipal Court 

recently said that it would not enforce a 

new CDC eviction moratorium, and many 

families are in danger of losing their homes 

due to the pandemic and economy. The new 

supports include $624,000 in additional 

funding to the Legal Aid Society of 

Columbus and $550,000 for Community 

Mediation Services of Central Ohio. 

“The effects of this pandemic will be felt 

for many years to come,” said board of commissioners 

president Kevin Boyce. “It 

would be a grave mistake to allow families 

who lost their livelihoods due to the pandemic 

also lose their homes, and would 

only prolong our community’s recovery.” 

The commissioners have long supported 

the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, and 

this contract adds to the county’s annual 

funding amount. The additional money will 

allow Legal Aid to hire three new full-time 

attorneys to work with families that are 

struggling to pay the rent. These new 

lawyers can assure that our residents’ legal 

rights are protected, represent them in the 

court system, and negotiate with lawyers 

and landlords. As many as 1,500 lowincome 

families are expected to be helped 

with this new funding over the coming 

year. 

“Many of our neighbors are living on the 

edge, hurt by the pandemic through no 

fault of their own. We want to help every 

struggling tenant to work out a way to pay 

their rent so that they can stay in their 

homes and so that their landlords are also 

made whole,” said commissioner John 

O’Grady 

Community Mediation Services of 

Central Ohio (CMS) is also a long-time 

partner which the commissioners annually 

fund in order to provide tenant/landlord 

mediation and other eviction prevention 

services. The increased funding will allow 

CMS to serve an additional 600 families. 

Since beginning to work with Franklin 

County eviction clients, CMS has seen that 

90 percent are able to avoid eviction or successfully 

relocate to alternate stable housing. 

“There are many families who are barely 

surviving this pandemic, some being 

only one flat tire away from being 

unhoused,” said commissioner Erica 

Crawley. “With that, we know that families 

and especially children are unable to thrive 

and do well in school without a safe and 

stable place to live. We are pleased to be 

able to answer the call to help our neighbors 

find ways to stay in their homes with 

Franklin County to offer mental 

health support with new website 

Franklin County has launched a new 

online tool to connect residents and families 

with national and local resources to 

address their mental and emotional health 

challenges. 

FranklinCountyOhio.CredibleMind.com 

, allows residents to take a self-paced 

approach to learn about more than 200 different 

emotional and mental health topics 

and find mental health providers in 

Franklin County. 

“The pandemic and economic downturn 

have had a major toll on people’s mental 

and emotional well-being,” said Joy Bivens, 

deputy franklin county administrator for 

health and human services. “This platform 

allows us to meet people where they are. 

It’s judgement-free, it’s evidence-based and 

it’s easy to use — whether you’re just looking 

for some mindfulness exercises to cope 

with stress or searching for a mental 

health provider.” 

The website was funded by the board of 

commissioners and supports the work of 

the Rise Together Blueprint to Reduce 

Poverty in Franklin County by increasing 

access to mental health services. It was 

developed in collaboration with county 

health and human services agencies, 

including the Department of Job and 

Family Services (JFS), and the Alcohol, 

Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin 

Government Focus 

County (ADAMH). 

“Additional support for well-being is 

welcomed right now. Easily accessible, 

quality support tools help to bury the stigma 

around asking for help. It is up to all of 

us to help change the perception that asking 

for help is a sign of weakness. Taking 

care of our mental health makes us 

stronger,” said Erika Clark Jones, CEO for 

ADAMH. 

The website offers more than a dozen 

different self-assessments to help visitors 

get a better idea of their mental health profile. 

After completing the assessment, visitors 

are referred to a variety of resources — 

articles, videos, podcasts and more — all 

tailored based off their results. All the 

resources are vetted by experts and all the 

assessment tools are confidential. 

The site provides direct links to 

ADAMH’s network of more than 30 local 

behavioral health providers. Residents can 

also get information about obtaining 

Medicaid, which covers mental health and 

addiction treatment, through JFS as well 

as resources from other health and human 

services agencies like Office on Aging, 

Child Support Enforcement and Justice 

Policy and Programs.

legal representation and mediation services.” 

Each year, the commissioners allocate 

about $23.5 million to affordable housing 

and other housing supports. During the 

pandemic, they’ve increased that investment 

by more than $8 million to help vulnerable 

families stay in their homes, and 

resources are still available via the commissioners’ 

Emergency Rental Assistance 

Program and the Impact Hope Fund.

In Education 

Relief funds will target learning 

loss initiatives and infrastructure 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

The South-Western City Schools 

District is preparing for its third round of 

federal COVID-19 relief funds. 

At its meeting in August, the board of 

education was presented with a projected 

spending plan for its $61.1 million allocation 

through The Elementary and 

Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund 

(ESSER). The plan includes infrastructure 

improvements, learning loss initiatives, 

and the construction of additional classroom 

space at some of its buildings. 

According to Treasurer Hugh Garside, 

this recent allocation comes with the 

requirement that 20 percent of the total 

sum be set aside to focus on student learning 

loss caused during the course of the 

pandemic. 

He said the district’s objective to 

address this issue will be to continue summer 

school programming through 2023, 

partner with the YMCA of Central Ohio for 

social and emotional support for students 

in grades K-6, hire five student support 

liaisons for its four high schools, and allocate 

funds to each school for individual 

building initiatives for tutoring services. 

The district also plans to use this portion 

of funds to purchase additional 

Chromebooks over the course of three 

years. The district’s first round of ESSER 

funds (approximately $6.5 million) primarily 

went toward the purchase of 

Chromebooks to provide each student with 

a laptop to take home. 

The remaining $45.6 million is projected 

to be spent on updating facilities and operations. 

Under the plan, all five of the intermediate 

schools will receive HVAC renovations 

as would Central Crossing High 

School and the South-Western Career 

Academy. The recreational centers at 

Grove City, Franklin Heights, and 

Westland High Schools would also receive 

HVAC renovations. 

Other objectives include adding classrooms 

to Hayes Intermediate and to reconfigure 

space at Buckeye Woods and Darby 

Woods Elementary. There are also plans to 

demolish the greenhouse at the SWCA to 

make room for additional classroom space. 

As thousands of central Ohio children 

and teens return to school, Columbus 

Metropolitan Library’s (CML) School Help 

Centers reopen at 21 locations. Starting 

Aug. 23, K-12 students will have a free 

place to get help with their schoolwork 

from staff and volunteers. 

The School Help Center hours of operation 

will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday 

through Friday at the Hilltop and the 

Board member David Donofrio asked 

why the demolition of the greenhouse was 

necessary. Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise 

said it was because the horticulture program 

has been discontinued at that location. 

“It hasn’t been offered as part of our 

career tech pathway for several years now, 

partially because of student interest and 

partially because of the market and the 

credentialing,” Wise said. 

He said they felt they can make “much 

better use of the space” with the proposed 

demolition of the greenhouse. 

If there are reserves left over from their 

ESSER III allocation, the district plans to 

purchase a facility for a preschool near 

West Broad Street, address the HVAC 

issues at the District Service Center, and 

construct four classroom additions at Holt 

Crossing Intermediate School. 

The board of education had no objection 

to the proposed ESSER III spending plan. 

With the approval, the plan will now be 

sent to the Ohio Department of Education 

for Review. Should the state board raise 

objections with the plan, amendments will 

be made during future meetings. All 

ESSER III funds must be spent by 

September 2024. 

Garside said should they receive 

approval from the state, they will quickly 

move forward with the process to get the 

planned construction started. 

“Due to the economic state we’re in right 

now in the country with inflation and the 

supply chain issues, we’re going to try to 

get moving on these projects as fast as possible 

so we can get the most bang for our 

buck,” he said. 

This will likely be the district’s last allocation 

of federal COVID-19 relief funds. In 

addition to the $6.5 million they received 

during the allocation of ESSER I funds, 

they also received an allocation of $27.2 

million in ESSER II funds during the 2020- 

2021 school year. Those funds were primarily 

spent on establishing the Virtual 

Learning Academy, the purchase of 

Chromebooks and the purchase of cleaning 

supplies and materials. Garside said only 

40 percent (or $10.8 million) of that allocation 

remains but it should be spent by the 

end of fiscal year 2021-22. 

School Help Centers open at CML 

Franklinton library branch. 

In addition to providing in-person 

School Help, CML also launched a new 

School Help webpage, offering free access 

to tools and resources, including HelpNow: 

connecting students one-on-one with virtual 

tutors Monday through Friday from 2 to 

11 p.m.

Township Focus 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

Residents in Prairie Township would 

like to see more police patrols in the area. 

Roger Spencer shared his concerns with 

the board of trustees at a recent meeting. 

“We want to see more police,” said 

Spencer. “The area is becoming more violent. 

As residents, we deserve to have a law 

enforcement presence.” 

The perceived lack of coverage in the 

area also upset residents since the township 

recently approved the 2021 Police 

Service Agreement with the Franklin 

County Sheriff’s Office. The agreement 

runs through Dec. 31, 2021 and costs the 

township $82,973 per month, not to exceed 

$1 million a year. 

This is a continued increase over previous 

years. In 2017 the contract was 

$858,550, in 2018 the contract was 

$890,938 (a 3.77 percent increase), in 2019 

the contract was $910,363 (a 2.18 percent 

increase), and in 2020 the contract was 

$971,801 (a 6.75 percent increase). 

“This agreement will include two dedicated 

cars 24 hours a day, seven days a 

week, and one dedicated car 16 hours a 

day, seven days a week,” said Major Carl 

Hickey with the Franklin County Sheriff’s 


Residents want more patrols in Prairie 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

A local township is putting more security 

measures in place to protect employees 

and residents. At a recent Franklin 

Township meeting, the board discussed the 

new policies and procedures for visitors 

checking into the township office. 

“Visitors must check in at the front 

desk,” said Mark Potts, township administrator. 

“Once the person they are there to 

see is available, they will be allowed to 

enter.” 

This new procedure will ensure they can 

have more control over who comes and goes 

in the building. 

The board also approved raising the cost 

of police reports from $4 to $5 per report 

requested. 

In other news, Janine Lovelace, executive 

director of Ohio Valley Youth 

Development, addressed the board related 

to the Havenwood Garden. 

“We started the garden in June of 2020, 

however the garden has suffered from vandalism 

and our team needs to build a fence 

around the property,” Lovelace said. “I 

have reached out to Franklin County zoning 

but have not heard back from them. A 

fencing company is donating the materials 

and will teach the youth how to build the 

Office. “Other services include, but are not 

limited to full service, swat team, bomb 

team, bike unit, and other services of the 

sheriff’s office.” 

The biggest reasons for an increase in 

the contract each year can be attributed to 

staffing costs, rising fuel costs and inflation, 

according to the sheriff’s office. 

Residents also asked township officials 

for updates on the proposed Prairie 

Pleasant Solar Project. 

Residents were informed that there are 

two additional interveners now - No 

Prairie Solar and the Ohio Farmers 

Bureau. 

According to Prairie Township 

Administrator Rob Peters, through the 

township’s legal team, they have been 

working directly with Invenergy on the 

issues that have been brought up by the 

residents. 

Recently, an in-person hearing took 

place where residents could voice their 

support or concerns about the project. 

The project is for a 250-megawatt, 

1,700-acre solar farm that would stretch 

across Prairie and Pleasant townships. 

Spearheaded by Invenergy, the project 

would take place on farmland that has 

been leased for a period of 40 years. 

Franklin Township to 

enact new security measures 

fence. We also want to build a shed within 

the fence.” 

The board also discussed the sale of 

properties given to the township by the 

Central Ohio Community Improvement 

Corporation (COCIC). The board approved 

the sale of 1765 Marsdale for $11,000, as 

well as reducing the sale price of 777 

Brown Road. 

Realtor Laura Esterline from Heart of it 

All Realty gave an update on these properties. 

“The property on Marsdale we received 

offers for $5,000, $7,000, $10,000 and 

$11,000,” Esterline said. “The gentleman 

offering $11,000 has built houses within 

Franklin Township and has plans to build 

on this property within 90 days of receiving 

his permits.” 

Esterline asked the board to consider 

reducing the listing price of the property 

located at 777 Brown Road to $9,500. 

Trustee John Fleshman reaffirmed he 

would like to see people who are purchasing 

these properties build on them and that 

the new development in the township will 

help increase property values. 

“I am a firm believer in using these 

properties for new development,” he said. 

“I believe in planting new seeds in the 

township.”

Westside 

Safety issues were discussed at the August Greater 

Hilltop Area Commission meeting. 

Sgt. Frederick Brophy, with the Columbus Division 

of Police, reported that there have been persistent 

problems with all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) being driven 

on streets on the westside, as well as county-wide. 

According to Brophy, police are cracking down on 

those who ride these vehicles in the street because it is 

a safety hazard for the driver of the ATV and others on 

the roadway. 

Columbus City Council recently passed legislation 

to increase penalties on those caught driving ATVs on 

the streets. Columbus police have started an enhanced 

enforcement of the new laws. 

The city has joined with the 

Franklin County Sheriff’s 

Office and some suburban agencies 

recently to crack down on 

the problem with a different 

tactic using more manpower 

and more money. A new task 

force is working on stricter 

enforcement of the new laws. 

“The idea is to get officers 

out here in peak times when 

large groups are moving 

throughout the city,” said 

Pets of the week 

Blondie is currently 

available for adoption. 

This 7-year-old 

lovely lady had some 

dental issues that 

may have been causing 

her distress. 

Those issues have 

been addressed at 

the shelter. She has 

lived with cats and prefers women. If you have 

a quiet home and are looking for a companion 

that may take some time to trust you and her 

new surroundings, meet with Blondie. She is 

worth your love and is up for adoption at the 

Franklin County Dog Shelter. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Blue Jay was wandering 

the streets in 

Ironton, Ohio before 

someone rescued 

him. He is a sweet 

boy who loves people 

and loves attention. 

He doesn’t 

understand personal 

space and likes to run fast. If you’re looking for 

a cuddle buddy, contact Colony Cats about 

adopting Blue Jay. 

FYI: colonycats.org 


Focus on Safety 

ATVs becoming a problem in the Hilltop 

Pet Corner 

Brophy. 

Several arrests were earlier this month, along with 

ATVs seized and drivers cited. 

According to Brophy, police have a “no pursuit” policy 

when it comes to ATVs in the streets, so police need 

to put more effort into catching the people doing it. 

Intelligence has been gathered and is being used to 

identify the peak times for large groups of ATV riders 

in the city that can be enforced. 

The city, division of police, and the mayor’s office 

have heard concerns about the ATVs and will allocate 

resources to the problem. 

Brophy hopes to see the benefits from the agencywide 

focus on ATVs being driven illegally in the 

streets. 

According to reports, automobile deaths and residential 

burglaries have increased near the West Broad 

Street corridor. Some potential juvenile suspects in the 

area and city-wide have been identified and Columbus 

police hope that with enforcement and better investigation, 

the community will see a drop in illegal activity. 

When asked how the Greater Hilltop Area 

Commission could get more officers in the area, 

Brophy said city council needs to pass an amendment 

to the police charter and approve a budget for it. 

“Moving manpower is required. It’s a big undertaking,” 

said Brophy. “Trust me, nobody wants that more 

than I do. I know because I work out here that the 

westside of Columbus needs more police officers.” 

These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 

Han Solo is a funny 

boy. When he was in 

a foster home, he 

took a liking to socks. 

He would steal all his 

foster mom’s socks 

and collect them. In 

addition to his fondness 

for socks, Han 

Solo is a super affectionate guy. He is about 5 

years old and eager to find a loving forever 

family. Adopt him from Colony Cats. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Willow is a very 

sweet and loving girl. 

This 5-month-old kitten 

is very affectionate. 

She loves belly 

rubs and ear scratches. 

Willow gets along 

well with children and 

other cats. She would 

make a lovely addition 

to any home. Adopt Willow from Friends 

for Life Animal Haven.
