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

made in SWCS

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

www.columbusmessenger.com

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.

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’

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.

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.
