Music on<br />
the porch<br />
<strong>Messenger</strong> photos by Dedra Cordle<br />
On Aug. 28, more than a dozen musicians<br />
who live in the Westgate community<br />
participated in an international initiative<br />
known as “Play Music on the<br />
Porch Day.” The mission of the event,<br />
which was founded in 2013, is to bring<br />
people together through song and “light<br />
up the world with music.” Among those<br />
participating in the first event to take<br />
place in the westside neighborhood was<br />
Colleen Cunningham and Rick Redfern.<br />
For close to an hour, the duo sat on their<br />
porch and played the bongos and<br />
ukulele while encouraging the audience<br />
to sing along to popular songs such as<br />
“Kumbaya,” “Puff the Magic Dragon,”<br />
and “Under the Boardwalk.” Susie Loik,<br />
the local organizer for “Play Music on<br />
the Porch Day,” said she was impressed<br />
by the number of musicians who signed<br />
on to perform and the variety of instruments<br />
they played. “We have so many<br />
talented people here in Westgate,” she<br />
said. Loik added that they would like to<br />
see this event grow bigger next year.<br />
An engaged audience (below) sings<br />
along with Cunningham and Redfern.<br />
Some in the group had already attended<br />
the two morning performances but said<br />
they looked forward to the rest of the<br />
events in the afternoon and evening.<br />
Some of the musical instruments featured<br />
in those performances were the<br />
flute, jazz trombone, keyboard, guitar<br />
and piano.<br />

Improvements<br />

The South-Western City Schools<br />
District has a fleet of more than 200 buses.<br />
All are housed as its transportation lot<br />
located off Southwest Boulevard in Grove<br />
City.<br />
When school is in session, this lot is a<br />
hub of activity. Not only are buses coming<br />
in and out of the depot multiple times a<br />
day to take students to school and back<br />
home, but so too are the vehicles of the<br />
employees as they start or end their scheduled<br />
shift.<br />
When school is not in session, however,<br />
this lot is still a hub of activity though<br />
much of it happens outside of the scope of<br />
the naked eye.<br />
As the heavy buses sit on the lot and as<br />
the summer sun beats down on the ground,<br />
miniscule fissures start to grow under-<br />

neath the asphalt, slowly expanding until they make<br />
their way to the surface. When they do, action has to<br />
be taken to stop their destructive process before they<br />
start to pose a problem for the fleet and employee vehicles.<br />
Recently, these cracks have become a problem. In<br />
May, the board of education approved a resolution that<br />
paved the way for $400,000 worth of repairs to be<br />
made at the transportation lot. These improvements<br />
took place over the course of the summer but district<br />
officials say there is more work to be done.<br />
On Aug. 23, Mark Meadows, the district’s supervisor<br />
of property services, presented the board of education<br />
with an overview of the construction project. He<br />
said it was so expansive that it had to be broken down<br />
into three phases which will take place throughout<br />
2023.<br />
Phase one was completed before the start of the<br />
<strong>2021</strong>-22 school year, he said. The scope of this phase<br />
included the removal of the current asphalt and the<br />

installation of a “roller-compacted concrete” to extend<br />
its lifespan so it better holds the weight of the buses.<br />
“This should service us for years to come,” Meadows<br />
said.<br />
Additional phase one improvements include the<br />
extension of car parking to allow for safer bus turning<br />
radius and the inclusion of additional parking areas<br />
for both cars and smaller buses.<br />
According to Sandra Nekoloff, the district’s executive<br />
director of communications, phases two and three<br />
will entail additional asphalt replacements and resurfacing<br />
repairs. She said these additional phases still<br />
need to go out for bid so she does not have an estimate<br />
as to how much money the entire project will cost.<br />
Meadows said additional, albeit smaller, projects<br />
were undertaken this summer throughout the district<br />
as well.<br />
“Summers are always busy in the facilities and<br />
property services department, and this summer has<br />
proved to be no different,” he said.<br />
According to Meadows, asphalt repairs<br />
were also done at Buckeye Woods and<br />
Darby Woods Elementary, behind the<br />
recreation center at Westland High School,<br />
and at the district’s service center.<br />
He said asphalt improvements are also<br />
slated to be done at the district’s maintenance<br />
yard.<br />
“This is an effort to get the district on<br />
track for a much more regular (sealing and<br />
striping) routine.”<br />
Other summer improvements include<br />
exterior painting of the Bostic Center and<br />
Darby Woods; playground renovations at<br />
Finland, Harmon and Stiles elementary;<br />
dugout improvements at Westland; gate<br />
partition repairs at Westland and Grove<br />
City high school; and HVAC improvements<br />
at the preschool.<br />
Meadows also said a scoreboard was<br />
ordered for the boys baseball and girls softball<br />
teams at Westland. They are slated to<br />
be delivered in the fall.<br />
In other meeting news, Carl Metzger,<br />
the assistant superintendent of personnel,<br />
gave a staffing update to the board.<br />
According to Metzger, the district has 2,773<br />
certificated and classified employees. Of<br />
that number, 1,748 are certificated employees<br />
(1,644 teachers, 104 administrators)<br />
and 1,025 are classified.<br />
He also added that the district is looking<br />
for bus drivers, substitute bus drivers, custodians,<br />
teacher’s aides, and substitute<br />
teachers. He said to visit their website at<br />
www.swcsd.us for more information on how<br />
to apply.
County funds to help those facing eviction<br />
www.columbusmessenger.com<br />
The Franklin County Commissioners<br />
approved two contracts to better support<br />
families facing eviction due to the ongoing<br />
pandemic.<br />
The Franklin County Municipal Court<br />
recently said that it would not enforce a<br />
new CDC eviction moratorium, and many<br />
families are in danger of losing their homes<br />
due to the pandemic and economy. The new<br />
supports include $624,000 in additional<br />
funding to the Legal Aid Society of<br />
Columbus and $550,000 for Community<br />
Mediation Services of Central Ohio.<br />
“The effects of this pandemic will be felt<br />
for many years to come,” said board of commissioners<br />
president Kevin Boyce. “It<br />
would be a grave mistake to allow families<br />
who lost their livelihoods due to the pandemic<br />
also lose their homes, and would<br />
only prolong our community’s recovery.”<br />
The commissioners have long supported<br />
the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, and<br />
this contract adds to the county’s annual<br />
funding amount. The additional money will<br />
allow Legal Aid to hire three new full-time<br />
attorneys to work with families that are<br />
struggling to pay the rent. These new<br />
lawyers can assure that our residents’ legal<br />
rights are protected, represent them in the<br />
court system, and negotiate with lawyers<br />
and landlords. As many as 1,500 lowincome<br />
families are expected to be helped<br />
with this new funding over the coming<br />
year.<br />
“Many of our neighbors are living on the<br />
edge, hurt by the pandemic through no<br />
fault of their own. We want to help every<br />
struggling tenant to work out a way to pay<br />
their rent so that they can stay in their<br />
homes and so that their landlords are also<br />
made whole,” said commissioner John<br />
O’Grady<br />
Community Mediation Services of<br />
Central Ohio (CMS) is also a long-time<br />
partner which the commissioners annually<br />
fund in order to provide tenant/landlord<br />
mediation and other eviction prevention<br />
services. The increased funding will allow<br />
CMS to serve an additional 600 families.<br />
Since beginning to work with Franklin<br />
County eviction clients, CMS has seen that<br />
90 percent are able to avoid eviction or successfully<br />
relocate to alternate stable housing.<br />
“There are many families who are barely<br />
surviving this pandemic, some being<br />
only one flat tire away from being<br />
unhoused,” said commissioner Erica<br />
Crawley. “With that, we know that families<br />
and especially children are unable to thrive<br />
and do well in school without a safe and<br />
stable place to live. We are pleased to be<br />
able to answer the call to help our neighbors<br />
find ways to stay in their homes with<br />
Franklin County to offer mental<br />
health support with new website<br />
Franklin County has launched a new<br />
online tool to connect residents and families<br />
with national and local resources to<br />
address their mental and emotional health<br />
challenges.<br />
FranklinCountyOhio.CredibleMind.com<br />
, allows residents to take a self-paced<br />
approach to learn about more than 200 different<br />
emotional and mental health topics<br />
and find mental health providers in<br />
Franklin County.<br />
“The pandemic and economic downturn<br />
have had a major toll on people’s mental<br />
and emotional well-being,” said Joy Bivens,<br />
deputy franklin county administrator for<br />
health and human services. “This platform<br />
allows us to meet people where they are.<br />
It’s judgement-free, it’s evidence-based and<br />
it’s easy to use — whether you’re just looking<br />
for some mindfulness exercises to cope<br />
with stress or searching for a mental<br />
health provider.”<br />
The website was funded by the board of<br />
commissioners and supports the work of<br />
the Rise Together Blueprint to Reduce<br />
Poverty in Franklin County by increasing<br />
access to mental health services. It was<br />
developed in collaboration with county<br />
health and human services agencies,<br />
including the Department of Job and<br />
Family Services (JFS), and the Alcohol,<br />
Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin<br />
Government Focus<br />
County (ADAMH).<br />
“Additional support for well-being is<br />
welcomed right now. Easily accessible,<br />
quality support tools help to bury the stigma<br />
around asking for help. It is up to all of<br />
us to help change the perception that asking<br />
for help is a sign of weakness. Taking<br />
care of our mental health makes us<br />
stronger,” said Erika Clark Jones, CEO for<br />
ADAMH.<br />
The website offers more than a dozen<br />
different self-assessments to help visitors<br />
get a better idea of their mental health profile.<br />
After completing the assessment, visitors<br />
are referred to a variety of resources —<br />
articles, videos, podcasts and more — all<br />
tailored based off their results. All the<br />
resources are vetted by experts and all the<br />
assessment tools are confidential.<br />
The site provides direct links to<br />
ADAMH’s network of more than 30 local<br />
behavioral health providers. Residents can<br />
also get information about obtaining<br />
Medicaid, which covers mental health and<br />
addiction treatment, through JFS as well<br />
as resources from other health and human<br />
services agencies like Office on Aging,<br />
Child Support Enforcement and Justice<br />
Policy and Programs.<br />

legal representation and mediation services.”<br />
Each year, the commissioners allocate<br />
about $23.5 million to affordable housing<br />
and other housing supports. During the<br />
pandemic, they’ve increased that investment<br />
by more than $8 million to help vulnerable<br />
families stay in their homes, and<br />
resources are still available via the commissioners’<br />
Emergency Rental Assistance<br />
Program and the Impact Hope Fund.<br />

In Education<br />
Relief funds will target learning<br />
loss initiatives and infrastructure<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The South-Western City Schools<br />
District is preparing for its third round of<br />
federal COVID-19 relief funds.<br />
At its meeting in August, the board of<br />
education was presented with a projected<br />
spending plan for its $61.1 million allocation<br />
through The Elementary and<br />
Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund<br />
(ESSER). The plan includes infrastructure<br />
improvements, learning loss initiatives,<br />
and the construction of additional classroom<br />
space at some of its buildings.<br />
According to Treasurer Hugh Garside,<br />
this recent allocation comes with the<br />
requirement that 20 percent of the total<br />
sum be set aside to focus on student learning<br />
loss caused during the course of the<br />
pandemic.<br />
He said the district’s objective to<br />
address this issue will be to continue summer<br />
school programming through 2023,<br />
partner with the YMCA of Central Ohio for<br />
social and emotional support for students<br />
in grades K-6, hire five student support<br />
liaisons for its four high schools, and allocate<br />
funds to each school for individual<br />
building initiatives for tutoring services.<br />
The district also plans to use this portion<br />
of funds to purchase additional<br />
Chromebooks over the course of three<br />
years. The district’s first round of ESSER<br />
funds (approximately $6.5 million) primarily<br />
went toward the purchase of<br />
Chromebooks to provide each student with<br />
a laptop to take home.<br />
The remaining $45.6 million is projected<br />
to be spent on updating facilities and operations.<br />
Under the plan, all five of the intermediate<br />
schools will receive HVAC renovations<br />
as would Central Crossing High<br />
School and the South-Western Career<br />
Academy. The recreational centers at<br />
Grove City, Franklin Heights, and<br />
Westland High Schools would also receive<br />
HVAC renovations.<br />
Other objectives include adding classrooms<br />
to Hayes Intermediate and to reconfigure<br />
space at Buckeye Woods and Darby<br />
Woods Elementary. There are also plans to<br />
demolish the greenhouse at the SWCA to<br />
make room for additional classroom space.<br />
As thousands of central Ohio children<br />
and teens return to school, Columbus<br />
Metropolitan Library’s (CML) School Help<br />
Centers reopen at 21 locations. Starting<br />
Aug. 23, K-12 students will have a free<br />
place to get help with their schoolwork<br />
from staff and volunteers.<br />
The School Help Center hours of operation<br />
will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday<br />
through Friday at the Hilltop and the<br />
Board member David Donofrio asked<br />
why the demolition of the greenhouse was<br />
necessary. Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise<br />
said it was because the horticulture program<br />
has been discontinued at that location.<br />
“It hasn’t been offered as part of our<br />
career tech pathway for several years now,<br />
partially because of student interest and<br />
partially because of the market and the<br />
credentialing,” Wise said.<br />
He said they felt they can make “much<br />
better use of the space” with the proposed<br />
demolition of the greenhouse.<br />
If there are reserves left over from their<br />
ESSER III allocation, the district plans to<br />
purchase a facility for a preschool near<br />
West Broad Street, address the HVAC<br />
issues at the District Service Center, and<br />
construct four classroom additions at Holt<br />
Crossing Intermediate School.<br />
The board of education had no objection<br />
to the proposed ESSER III spending plan.<br />
With the approval, the plan will now be<br />
sent to the Ohio Department of Education<br />
for Review. Should the state board raise<br />
objections with the plan, amendments will<br />
be made during future meetings. All<br />
ESSER III funds must be spent by<br />
<strong>September</strong> 2024.<br />
Garside said should they receive<br />
approval from the state, they will quickly<br />
move forward with the process to get the<br />
planned construction started.<br />
“Due to the economic state we’re in right<br />
now in the country with inflation and the<br />
supply chain issues, we’re going to try to<br />
get moving on these projects as fast as possible<br />
so we can get the most bang for our<br />
buck,” he said.<br />
This will likely be the district’s last allocation<br />
of federal COVID-19 relief funds. In<br />
addition to the $6.5 million they received<br />
during the allocation of ESSER I funds,<br />
they also received an allocation of $27.2<br />
million in ESSER II funds during the 2020-<br />
<strong>2021</strong> school year. Those funds were primarily<br />
spent on establishing the Virtual<br />
Learning Academy, the purchase of<br />
Chromebooks and the purchase of cleaning<br />
supplies and materials. Garside said only<br />
40 percent (or $10.8 million) of that allocation<br />
remains but it should be spent by the<br />
end of fiscal year <strong>2021</strong>-22.<br />
School Help Centers open at CML<br />
Franklinton library branch.<br />
In addition to providing in-person<br />
School Help, CML also launched a new<br />
School Help webpage, offering free access<br />
to tools and resources, including HelpNow:<br />
connecting students one-on-one with virtual<br />
tutors Monday through Friday from 2 to<br />
11 p.m.<br />

Township Focus<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Residents in Prairie Township would<br />
like to see more police patrols in the area.<br />
Roger Spencer shared his concerns with<br />
the board of trustees at a recent meeting.<br />
“We want to see more police,” said<br />
Spencer. “The area is becoming more violent.<br />
As residents, we deserve to have a law<br />
enforcement presence.”<br />
The perceived lack of coverage in the<br />
area also upset residents since the township<br />
recently approved the <strong>2021</strong> Police<br />
Service Agreement with the Franklin<br />
County Sheriff’s Office. The agreement<br />
runs through Dec. 31, <strong>2021</strong> and costs the<br />
township $82,973 per month, not to exceed<br />
$1 million a year.<br />
This is a continued increase over previous<br />
years. In 2017 the contract was<br />
$858,550, in 2018 the contract was<br />

Residents want more patrols in Prairie<br />
By Amanda Ensinger<br />
Staff Writer<br />
A local township is putting more security<br />
measures in place to protect employees<br />
and residents. At a recent Franklin<br />
Township meeting, the board discussed the<br />
new policies and procedures for visitors<br />
checking into the township office.<br />
“Visitors must check in at the front<br />
desk,” said Mark Potts, township administrator.<br />
“Once the person they are there to<br />
see is available, they will be allowed to<br />
enter.”<br />
This new procedure will ensure they can<br />
have more control over who comes and goes<br />
in the building.<br />
The board also approved raising the cost<br />
of police reports from $4 to $5 per report<br />
requested.<br />
In other news, Janine Lovelace, executive<br />
director of Ohio Valley Youth<br />
Development, addressed the board related<br />
to the Havenwood Garden.<br />
“We started the garden in June of 2020,<br />
however the garden has suffered from vandalism<br />
and our team needs to build a fence<br />
around the property,” Lovelace said. “I<br />
have reached out to Franklin County zoning<br />
but have not heard back from them. A<br />
fencing company is donating the materials<br />
and will teach the youth how to build the<br />
Office. “Other services include, but are not<br />
limited to full service, swat team, bomb<br />
team, bike unit, and other services of the<br />
sheriff’s office.”<br />
The biggest reasons for an increase in<br />
the contract each year can be attributed to<br />
staffing costs, rising fuel costs and inflation,<br />
according to the sheriff’s office.<br />
Residents also asked township officials<br />
for updates on the proposed Prairie<br />
Pleasant Solar Project.<br />
Residents were informed that there are<br />
two additional interveners now - No<br />
Prairie Solar and the Ohio Farmers<br />
Bureau.<br />
According to Prairie Township<br />
Administrator Rob Peters, through the<br />
township’s legal team, they have been<br />
working directly with Invenergy on the<br />
issues that have been brought up by the<br />
residents.<br />
Recently, an in-person hearing took<br />
place where residents could voice their<br />
support or concerns about the project.<br />
The project is for a 250-megawatt,<br />
1,700-acre solar farm that would stretch<br />
across Prairie and Pleasant townships.<br />
Spearheaded by Invenergy, the project<br />
would take place on farmland that has<br />
been leased for a period of 40 years.<br />
Franklin Township to<br />
enact new security measures<br />
fence. We also want to build a shed within<br />
the fence.”<br />
The board also discussed the sale of<br />
properties given to the township by the<br />
Central Ohio Community Improvement<br />
Corporation (COCIC). The board approved<br />
the sale of 1765 Marsdale for $11,000, as<br />
well as reducing the sale price of 777<br />
Brown Road.<br />
Realtor Laura Esterline from Heart of it<br />
All Realty gave an update on these properties.<br />
“The property on Marsdale we received<br />
offers for $5,000, $7,000, $10,000 and<br />
$11,000,” Esterline said. “The gentleman<br />
offering $11,000 has built houses within<br />
Franklin Township and has plans to build<br />
on this property within 90 days of receiving<br />
his permits.”<br />
Esterline asked the board to consider<br />
reducing the listing price of the property<br />
located at 777 Brown Road to $9,500.<br />
Trustee John Fleshman reaffirmed he<br />
would like to see people who are purchasing<br />
these properties build on them and that<br />
the new development in the township will<br />
help increase property values.<br />
“I am a firm believer in using these<br />
properties for new development,” he said.<br />
“I believe in planting new seeds in the<br />
township.”

<strong>Westside</strong><br />
Safety issues were discussed at the August Greater<br />
Hilltop Area Commission meeting.<br />
Sgt. Frederick Brophy, with the Columbus Division<br />
of Police, reported that there have been persistent<br />
problems with all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) being driven<br />
on streets on the westside, as well as county-wide.<br />
According to Brophy, police are cracking down on<br />
those who ride these vehicles in the street because it is<br />
a safety hazard for the driver of the ATV and others on<br />
the roadway.<br />
Columbus City Council recently passed legislation<br />
to increase penalties on those caught driving ATVs on<br />
the streets. Columbus police have started an enhanced<br />
enforcement of the new laws.<br />
The city has joined with the<br />
Franklin County Sheriff’s<br />
Office and some suburban agencies<br />
recently to crack down on<br />
the problem with a different<br />
tactic using more manpower<br />
and more money. A new task<br />
force is working on stricter<br />
enforcement of the new laws.<br />
“The idea is to get officers<br />
out here in peak times when<br />
large groups are moving<br />
throughout the city,” said<br />
Pets of the week<br />
Blondie is currently<br />
available for adoption.<br />
This 7-year-old<br />
lovely lady had some<br />
dental issues that<br />
may have been causing<br />
her distress.<br />
Those issues have<br />
been addressed at<br />
the shelter. She has<br />
lived with cats and prefers women. If you have<br />
a quiet home and are looking for a companion<br />
that may take some time to trust you and her<br />
new surroundings, meet with Blondie. She is<br />
worth your love and is up for adoption at the<br />
Franklin County Dog Shelter.<br />

Blue Jay was wandering<br />
the streets in<br />
Ironton, Ohio before<br />
someone rescued<br />
him. He is a sweet<br />
boy who loves people<br />
and loves attention.<br />
He doesn’t<br />
understand personal<br />
space and likes to run fast. If you’re looking for<br />
a cuddle buddy, contact Colony Cats about<br />
adopting Blue Jay.<br />

Focus on Safety<br />
ATVs becoming a problem in the Hilltop<br />
Pet Corner<br />
Brophy.<br />
Several arrests were earlier this month, along with<br />
ATVs seized and drivers cited.<br />
According to Brophy, police have a “no pursuit” policy<br />
when it comes to ATVs in the streets, so police need<br />
to put more effort into catching the people doing it.<br />
Intelligence has been gathered and is being used to<br />
identify the peak times for large groups of ATV riders<br />
in the city that can be enforced.<br />
The city, division of police, and the mayor’s office<br />
have heard concerns about the ATVs and will allocate<br />
resources to the problem.<br />
Brophy hopes to see the benefits from the agencywide<br />
focus on ATVs being driven illegally in the<br />
streets.<br />
According to reports, automobile deaths and residential<br />
burglaries have increased near the West Broad<br />
Street corridor. Some potential juvenile suspects in the<br />
area and city-wide have been identified and Columbus<br />
police hope that with enforcement and better investigation,<br />
the community will see a drop in illegal activity.<br />
When asked how the Greater Hilltop Area<br />
Commission could get more officers in the area,<br />
Brophy said city council needs to pass an amendment<br />
to the police charter and approve a budget for it.<br />
“Moving manpower is required. It’s a big undertaking,”<br />
said Brophy. “Trust me, nobody wants that more<br />
than I do. I know because I work out here that the<br />
westside of Columbus needs more police officers.”<br />
These furry friends are available<br />
for adoption at local<br />
rescues and shelters<br />
Han Solo is a funny<br />
boy. When he was in<br />
a foster home, he<br />
took a liking to socks.<br />
He would steal all his<br />
foster mom’s socks<br />
and collect them. In<br />
addition to his fondness<br />
for socks, Han<br />
Solo is a super affectionate guy. He is about 5<br />
years old and eager to find a loving forever<br />
family. Adopt him from Colony Cats.<br />
FYI: colonycats.org<br />
Willow is a very<br />
sweet and loving girl.<br />
This 5-month-old kitten<br />
is very affectionate.<br />
She loves belly<br />
rubs and ear scratches.<br />
Willow gets along<br />
well with children and<br />
other cats. She would<br />
make a lovely addition<br />
to any home. Adopt Willow from Friends<br />
for Life Animal Haven.<br />
