Talking trash in
Prairie Township
By Amanda Ensinger
Staff Writer
Residents in Prairie Township said they
were not properly informed about a new
trash collection policy. The issue was
brought up at a recent board meeting.
The trustees approved a resolution
changing the way trash is collected in the
township. That legislation went into effect
on March 1.
The resolution put more regulations on
how trash is collected in the township,
including requiring trash haulers to be
licensed with the township, show proof of
current and valid general comprehensive
liability/vehicle insurance policy and be
registered and in compliance with the
Franklin County Board of Health.
The license is $150 per hauler and is
valid until Dec. 31, 2021.
“There will only be trash on a street one
day a week and trash must be in a proper
container,” said Rob Peters, township
See TRASH POLICY page 3
Doug Orahood, aka ‘Doug the Pug,’ gave
out lots of high-paws at the event. He
said he likes wearing this costume

The Franklin Township trustees and Police Chief Byron
Smith discussed the police levy at a recent board meeting.
The police department is asking voters to approve a 7-
mill police levy on Nov. 2. 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.
“If the levy does not pass, we will need to release the
part-time officers and possibly lose third shift,” Smith said.
The police chief said other cuts to service were possible
as well.
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, Smith said the department
would have to cut the third shift to operate within its
means. However, those cuts have not yet taken place.
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.
Smith said the funds from the levy would be used for
Hilltop veterans honored
On Nov. 7, the Hilltop Historical Society, in partnership
with the Don Gentile Post 535 of the American
Legion, will honor two local veterans. The Hilltop
Historical Society will honor Michael Hicks, a Hilltop
native who served in Vietnam with the Army. The
American Legion will be honoring Reid Massey, who
served with the Army in Vietnam.
John Ward and Stephen Miller will also be honored
as they were the honorees last year when the society
operational expenses, including paying for salaries, equipment
and other department needs.
Police officials hope the community will support the
levy this time around, but some voters are still against the
extra taxes.
“I am not sure where my taxes are going. So my standpoint
is simple - police enforcement in our community is
extremely important, however the current police situation
seems wasteful and unnecessary,” said Tennie Deibel,
Franklin Township resident.
“I am a huge supporter of law enforcement, but
I am not in favor of another tax hike,” said David
Byers, township resident. “I may consider voting
for a police levy in the future but not this year.”

Police Department levy, visit franklintownship.com.
In other news, Smith said he met with the principal
of Columbus Preparatory Academy to discuss
traffic issues. Located at 3330 Chippewa St., Smith
said there has been numerous complaints about the
intersection of N. Hague Avenue and Chippewa
Street because of the school.
“The school is facing a lot of traffic issues since
increasing their grade levels from K through 8 to K

administrator, at the time. “A container
must have a lid on it and if you already
have a container like this you don’t need to
purchase a new one.”
Peters said residents would still be able
to pick their own haulers as long as the
hauler they select is licensed with the
township.
Trash is picked up on the eastside of the
township on Monday, the central part of
the township on Tuesday and the western
part of the township on Wednesday.
Peters previously said the reason for
these changes is because there has been a
rodent problem in the township.
“We are having a rat issue with the
trash on the streets almost every day of the
week,” Peters said. “Having trash frequently
out is a food source for them; not having
trash out four days a week will help solve
this problem.”
He also said having trash just in bags on
the street for pickup is an issue.
“When trash is not in a container with a
lid, it is easily accessible to rodents and
around the westside
through 12,” Smith said. “The leaders of the school did not
take into consideration the increase in the number of cars
that would occur with the increase in grade levels being
offered.”
Smith said that during dismissal time, the school ties
up traffic on N. Hague Avenue to a point where an emergency
vehicle could not get through. Smith said he will be
speaking with the Franklin County Engineer’s Office to

racoons,” he said. “Having it in proper containers
will eliminate this issue, as well as
help keep the township clean because trash
bags won’t be opened, and trash won’t be
spilled everywhere.”
Prairie Township trustee Cathy
Schmelzer had asked the board why postcards
could not be sent out to residents
informing them of the new resolution.
Trustee Steve Kennedy opposed this plan
and trustee Doug Stormont wanted to have
more information on the fine process prior
to deciding on the postcards.
“We put it on the website, Facebook and
in our newsletter,” said Peters. “Each company
also notified their customers.”
Schmelzer said she thought more could
have been done to inform residents of the
policy change.
“I wanted a couple of notices to go out to
our residents to let them know what was
going on with the trash,” she said. “I was
not allowed to do it. I would be frustrated
too if someone didn’t tell me.”

Safety issues at Wedgewood addressed at Hilltop meeting

Staff Writer
During the October meeting of the
Greater Hilltop Area Commission, Jim
Fogler, manager of Wedgewood Village
Apartments, gave a presentation about
planned safety upgrades to the complex.
Some zoning variances to the complex had
been tabled at a previous meeting because
the commissioners were concerned about
the safety of the apartment complex residents.
The variance requests were to split the
two parcels that are north of Eakin Road. A
variance request was also submitted to
allow the parking lots to remain on those
northern parcels, as well as to approve
keeping those parking spaces on the south
in place.

Westland area commissioners want to
bring a recreation center to the Westside
and they need community members to help
make it happen.
At the Oct. 20 meeting, commissioner
Janet Cahill said she is trying to find ways
to recruit civilian members to join a parks
and recreation committee.
“There is really no good way to reach all
of our population,” said Cahill.
Becky Larson, a member of the committee,
is planning to get a list of the local
block watches in order to send those members
an e-mail about the committee meetings
and community participation.
The Westland Area Commission Parks
and Recreation Committee meets the first
Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the
event room at Auto Boutique, 1800
Georgesville Square Drive in Columbus.
Morgen Wade, with the city of Columbus
Recreation and Parks Department as well
as the Parks and Recreation Capital and
Strategic Planning Team will attend the
committee meeting on Nov. 3.
At this meeting, Cahill plans to present
The attorney representing Wedgewood
Village Apartments, Adam Saad, told the
commission that interest rates are low and
tax code changes are favorable to be able to
do substantial renovations on the complex.
“So the stars have aligned, so to speak,
and we are able to do a pretty substantial
renovation of the apartment,” said Saad.
“But, ultimately, what it means is that
there will be money for better lighting, better
security, better security cameras, and
better ingress and egress systems that are
much needed there.”
Because Wedgewood Village
Apartments are for low-income residents,
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
will do a thorough inspection once renovations
are complete.
Fogler said they are looking to spend
approximately $2 million on upgrades to
three potential options for a recreation center.
The first location in question is the
already-built, but vacant facility at 5300
Crosswind Drive. This location is currently
for sale and contains a structure as well as
a walking path, baseball diamonds, and
tennis courts.
The second potential location is a corner
of the 126-acre Blauser Farm development
at 6145 W. Broad St. Columbus does own a
corner of this property, which could be
another opportunity for a recreation center.
The third location proposed would be a
property for sale at the corner of Hall and
Galloway roads. The property spans 175
acres, which would not all be needed for
this proposed facility. The property is not
in the city of Columbus and would need to
be annexed.
All three proposed locations will be presented
to the planning team in hopes that
they will deem one of the sites suitable for
a recreation center.
In other news, commissioner Denise
Southworth is stepping down from her
position. However, the commission has
welcomed a new commissioner to the group
the complex. They will be removing all galvanized
plumbing, removing asbestos, and
replacing the windows. They are hoping to
get started on the renovations next year.
Commissioner Josh Maddox questioned
some of the ongoing safety issues in and
surrounding Wedgewood Village
Apartments. He said that Emergency
Medical Services won’t attend to a situation
there without a police officer from
Columbus. Sgt. Fredrick Brophy said that
firefighters were assaulted and shot at,
which is the reason they request police
backup when entering Wedgewood.
Maddox also wanted to know how much
Wedgewood was willing to spend on safety
to be proactive concerning crime.
“Security cameras are great, but they
only show what did happen. How do we get
more proactive with that?” asked Maddox.

Commissioner Zerqa Abid said she
understood where Maddox was coming
from, but said management cannot always
control safety issues. She said the abandoned
school building (off Doulton Court
across from Eakin Elementary, known as
“Old Wedgewood Elementary”) is a serious
issue that they cannot control because it is
out of their reach. She would like to see
Columbus City Schools do something about
the vacant school.
When questioned, Fogler said they
check criminal records before they rent to
someone. There was a time last year when
eviction courts were closed, but since then,
they evict tenants for criminal behavior.
The commission approved the variance
requests unanimously.

Rates set by Franklin County water are making it

Prairie Township has come a long way in the

Leaf and Brush program? All these services have
been provided without any property tax increase.

replacing me with a candidate that has a 43 year

The slander mailer that went out is a tactic
straight out of the liberal play book.

Residents can track county rescue funds
The Franklin County Commissioners have
launched a new webpage where residents can track
how the county uses funds from the American Rescue
Plan (ARP) to help the community recover from the
pandemic.
The site, Recovery.FranklinCountyOhio.gov provides
information about the ARP, what it means for
Franklin County, a graph of expenditures so far, and
links to information about the individual expenditures.
The commissioners have already allocated more than
$26 million for recovery.
“Our community will be feeling the effects of the
pandemic for years to come,” said board president
Kevin Boyce. “We got lots of input from our residents
about how we can best use this money to help them
and their families, and this webpage represents an
unprecedented level of transparency in how we’re
going to use this funding so that they can see in realtime
what we’re doing to help them recover.”
The American Rescue Plan was passed by Congress
and signed into law by President Joe Biden to help
Americans who are suffering from the ongoing effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes significant federal
resources to support a strong public health
response and vaccination strategy, provide direct
assistance to families, and deliver resources to local
governments to use in their own communities.
Franklin County will be receiving $256 million over
the next two years. Other parts of the ARP provided
resources for schools, healthcare providers, public
health agencies, and small businesses.
“The American Rescue Plan is important legislation
and provides significant resources to help our residents
recover, so we’re really glad to be able to get
those out into the community and working for
Franklin County families right away,” said commissioner
John O’Grady. “The new site provides important
information and resources, as well as a window
into our funding priorities.”
The commissioners held a public hearing and
solicited written testimony from the community to
learn about the challenges residents have faced over
the past 18 months and how they think this funding
can best be used to aid in recovery. Video of that hearing
and text of the written testimony can be found on
the commissioners’ new webpage along with federally
mandated reports on ARP spending and a link for residents
to continue to submit ideas for recovery funding.
“Too many Franklin County families were already
struggling before the pandemic, and the pandemic only
intensified these difficulties,” said commissioner Erica
Crawley. “The funding through the American Rescue
Plan is a lifeline to our county, our government and
our community partners. It will funnel desperately
needed resources to help our community recover and
deal with the impacts of the ongoing pandemic. We will
ensure the funding helps the most marginalized members
of our community, who were harmed most by the
pandemic.”

PAGE 12 - WESTSIDE MESSENGER - October 31, 2021
By Amanda Ensinger
Staff Writer
Residents have been expressing their
frustration with a local township over
transparency. Prairie Township residents
complained about not being able to hear
crucial information in public meetings
because of poor recordings.
Residents said that the audio from the
board meetings are hard to hear, resulting
in them not being able to follow actions the
township is taking. As a result of this feedback,
Prairie Township Trustee Stephen
Kennedy made a statement at a recent
meeting.
“I’m going to ask anyone speaking to
please step up to the podium to speak,”

Kennedy said. “When the recordings are
coming out, it is hard to hear people from
the audience.”
It is not just the audience that cannot be
heard in the recordings. Prairie Township
Administrator Rob Peters also cannot be
heard in the recordings, resulting in residents
who can’t attend the meetings being
left in the dark on information Peters is
presenting to the board.
In related news, discussed at the meeting
was inaccuracies in meeting minutes,
as well as the length of time leadership has
to review the minutes before they are posted.
The trustees asked that they receive
the minutes earlier in the week and are
given more time to review them, therefore
eliminating minutes being inaccurate, having
to be corrected and being delayed in

In other news, the Franklin County
Sheriff’s Office provided an update on
crime in the township, including a reported
increase in drug overdoses. Residents questioned
what is done when there is a drug
overdose.
“We had six overdoses in the last two
weeks and what we do is actively supply
Narcan and start other lifesaving measures
until the paramedics arrive,” said
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy
Hamilton. “If they are still with us, they
get transported to the hospital. If they are
not with us, we start a report, and the
HOPE Task Force starts collection evidence
and trying to get people to cooperate
so we can find out where they are buying
these drugs that kill people.”

Breakfast at the Lodge

Willow is a sweet 8-
month-old kitten. She
is a loving girl who
enjoys a good belly
rub and an ear
scratch. Willow is
great with other cats
and wonderful with
children. She would
be a nice addition to
any family. She is up for adoption through
Friends for Life Animal Haven.

Heidi is a 3-year-old
pit bull mix. She is the
sweetest girl who is
an absolute love bug.
She is more than
happy to cuddle with
you on the couch all
day and just wants to
be around her people.
Heidi also has an
active side and loves playing at the dog park
and fetching her favorite rope toy. She has
shown positive interest in other dogs and has
been learning leash manners. Adopt her from
the county shelter.

Overdose Prevention and Education. The
goal of the task force is to combat the heroin
epidemic with a multi-pronged
approach: enforcement, education and prevention.
Established in 2016, the HOPE Task
Force was created as a restructuring of the
Franklin County Drug Task Force.
Experienced narcotics and homicide detectives
work together on the task force and
treat opiate overdoses as crime scenes,
investigating the source of the supply that
caused the overdose.
In addition, the task force collaborates
with treatment providers to refer those
with substance abuse disorders to longterm
treatment. Instead of locking up those
suffering, they try to provide treatment
options.
Wellness and foot care
for senior citizens
LifeCare Alliance provides a nurse at
the Prairie Township Community Center
weekly to provide free foot care and other
wellness services. To schedule an appointment
or for more information, contact the
wellness office at 614-437-2878.
These furry friends are available
for adoption at local
rescues and shelters
Clever is one of the
best girls at the shelter.
She has been
working hard to lose
weight and the medical
staff said she is
doing really well. She
is housebroken and
very sweet. Clever
loves to roll around in
the grass or snow and get all of the loving and
snuggles you have to offer. She is an older gal
looking for a home to spend her golden years
in. Adopt Clever from the county shelter.

Jeremy is a 5-monthold
kitty. He, and his
siblings, were born
on a farm where their
mother was killed in
an accident when
they were just 10
days old. Jeremy was
rescued and was bottle
fed but is now
doing well and ready
for a forever home. He is great with other cats
and dogs. Adopt Jeremy from Colony Cats.
