Steady employment 

numbers in SWCS 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

South-Western City School officials say 

that while the district is still looking to 

hire additional employees to fill a variety 

of positions, the overall employment numbers 

are stable and there will not be a negative 

impact to the daily operations as a 

new school year gets underway. 

According to Dr. Susan Hayward, the 

assistant superintendent of personnel, the 

district has approximately 2,700 employees, 

a majority of which are certificated 

staff members. 

The certificated staff consists of teachers, 

guidance counselors, nurses, psychologists, 

and tutors. Hayward said at the Aug. 

22 board of education meeting that these 

employment numbers will allow the district 

to efficiently run its normal opera-

WNA helps the Hilltop RISE 

At the Westgate community meeting on 

Aug. 30, the Westgate Neighbors 

Association (WNA) presented a check for 

$1,000 to Hilltop RISE. 

“One of the WNA’s missions has been to 

encourage the development and retention 

of businesses that benefit the community,” 

said Michael Blake, president of the 

Westgate Neighbors Association. “As such, 

a few years ago, we created a microgrant 

program for area small businesses. 

However, as a civic association, we have 

been unable to fully leverage its potential. 

When we learned about Hilltop RISE, with 

their goal to drive economic development 

along our neighborhood’s commercial corridors, 

our board voted unanimously to 

donate the microgrant funds to them.” 

During the meeting, Hilltop RISE chairwoman 

Betty Jaynes presented an 

overview of the community development 

corporation’s goals and strategies. She also 

provided an update about several projects 

along West Broad Street. 

“We are committed to engaging the community.” 

said Jaynes. 

The West Broad Street and Sullivant 

Avenue corridors offer more than 200 acres 

of space ready to be developed, including 

mixed-use buildings ready for revitalization. 

The community development corporation’s first 

task is to recruit a full-time executive director who will 

work with the city of Columbus, Franklin County, 

COTA, as well as stakeholders on The Hilltop, to promote 

economic development along those commercial 

corridors. 

“This check represents community helping community. 

Together we are stronger and we look forward to 

working with the WNA and other community groups to

tions. 

“We will be fully staffed with our certificated staff,” 

she said, noting that there are roughly 1,600 certificated 

employees in the district. 

Where the district is running into some trouble is 

with the classified employees, which consists of aides, 

bus drivers, cooks, interpreters, mechanics and school 

office workers, to name a few. 

Hayward said the district is still “working toward 

being fully staffed” with its classified positions, but 

added their overall numbers are nearly 1,000 strong. 

Of particular concern to her regarding employment 

is the number of substitute teachers the district has on 

hand. Although she says the district is in better shape 

at the start of this year in comparison to last year, they 

are still having difficulties getting commitments for 

long-term substitute teaching positions. 

“Long-term substitute teachers have additional 

responsibilities such as making lesson plans, grading 

and overseeing Parent Teacher Conferences,” she said. 

In order to attract and retain long-term substitute 

teachers, Hayward requested their pay be increased

from $145 per day to $155 per day. She also requested 

that the district’s retirees who come back to sub longterm 

be paid $165 per day, an increase of $10 from the 

current standard. 

Board member Lee Schreiner said he was in favor of 

those requests, adding that their work is necessary. 

The board did not have to move on that item at the 

meeting; instead, Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise said it 

can be grandfathered into the pay increase that was 

approved last year. 

He said he hopes this action can help the district 

recruit for this important role, especially since many of 

the substitutes in their substitute teaching pool turned 

down requests to move into the long-term position last 

year. 

“Substitutes are a vital part of our ability to run a 

district so we want to value that and also recognize the 

job market that folks are in as well as the extra work 

these long-term subs take on.”

Safety issues addressed in Prairie 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office 

executed Operation Unity in Prairie 

Township. 

“They were able to execute over 20 

arrests; six being for felony offenses,” said 

Deputy Burton Haren at a recent Prairie 

Township board meeting. “About 40 grams 

of illegal drugs were seized, as well as one 

illegal firearm.” 

The deputy also reminded residents 

that the new fireworks law is going into 

effect. 

“Fireworks are still a violation of the 

township noise resolution and can be ticketed 

for violating,” Haren said. 

Haren said a noise ordinance violation 

occurs when an individual can hear the 

noise 100 feet from where the noise is coming 

from. 

“If fireworks can be heard from 100 feet 

away, they (the individual) can be cited for 

noise,” he said. “The ORC (Ohio Revised 

Code) does not supersede the township 

ordinance.” 

In other news, Prairie Township Fire 

Chief Allen Scott asked the board to 

approve spending $42,774 to purchase a 

new power cot and related accessories for a 

new medic. 

“By approving this purchase, we will

Staff Writer 

lock in the current price and not be 

required to pay for the items until the new 

vehicle is ready for delivery,” Scott said. 

Scott also asked the board to approve 

hiring Ohio First Responder Grants to 

write a FEMA AFG grant for diesel 

exhaust removal systems for each fire station. 

“This system would collect and safely 

remove diesel exhaust from the station,” 

Scott said. “Diesel exhaust has been found 

to be a major cause of firefighter related 

cancer. Diesel exhaust can also be destructive 

to equipment and other items due to 

extended exposure.” 

The total cost of the project should be no 

more than $200,000, with the fire department 

being responsible for 5 percent of the 

total project cost. 

The cost of writing the grant is $2,500. 

Scott also asked the board to approve 

hiring Ohio First Responder Grants to 

write a FEMA AFG grant for a new tanker. 

“The current tanker is permanently out 

of service due to unrepairable pump 

issues,” he said. “The cost of the new vehicle 

could be as much as $600,000.” 

The fire department would be responsible 

for 5 percent of the awarded amount. In 

this case, the award will be capped at 

$475,000. The fire department’s portion of 

the total cost could be $125,000. 

The board approved both requests. 


Wellness and foot care 

for senior citizens

the Prairie Township Community Center 

A local police department is looking for 

ways to resolve conflict without lethal 

force. 

At a recent Franklin Township meeting, 

Police Chief Byron Smith discussed getting 

a quote for four 12-gauge shotguns that 

shoot bean bags instead of bullets. 

“If we can use non-lethal force, it would 

be a positive move in today’s climate,” 

Smith said. “The quote for four of these is 

$2,150. The cost of training has not yet 

been determined.” 

The board approved a resolution authorizing 

the police department to spend up to 

$3,000 on the shotguns. 

Smith also asked the board to approve 

new radar speed signs. 

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. 

Police to purchase bean 

bags instead of bullets 

“These are able to display current 

speeds and dictate if there are problems,” 

he said. “The price for two of them would be 

$7,550.” 

The board approved spending up to 

8,000 on the new signs. 

Smith also reported that the department 

recently took 1,062 runs on first and 

second shift and were not able to respond 

to 110 calls. 

In other township news, the trustees 

approved replacing the roof on the 

Township Hall for the cost of $41,650. 

Franklin Township Road 

Superintendent Jim Stevens reported that 

the cost of road salt has increased. 

“I received an email about the ODOT 

salt contract and the price went up over $7 

a ton,” said Stevens.

The Prairie Township Farmers Market hosted a kid-friendly Last Blast of Summer event 

on Aug. 22 at the township’s community center. In addition to the regular vendors at 

the farmers market, Bring the Farm to You was on hand to teach children about farm 

animals. The farm, located in central Ohio, brings animals to schools, or special events 

to give kids an up-close look at the animals. Here, 4-year-old Tate Jester gets a look at 

a chick from the farm. The Farmer’s Market is held on Mondays from 4 to 7 p.m. through 

Sept. 19.

New commissioners introduced 

By Hannah Poling 

Staff Writer 

There are three new commissioners who 

will be taking office at the Westland Area 

Commission. As there were only four candidates, 

one being current commissioner 

and zoning chair Mike McKay, the commission 

did not hold its annual election. 

Two of the three individuals joining the 

commission attended the meeting on Aug. 

17. 

Karen Lewis has lived in Galloway since 

1998. She attended a recreation and parks 

meeting and heard that there were openings 

on the commission for the upcoming 

year. 

“I thought it would be a good opportunity 

to be in the know,” said Lewis. 

David Henderson is currently retired 

but a volunteer naturalist at Battelle 

Darby Metro Park. 

“I have lived on the westside since 1973 

and I was born and raised in Columbus,” 

Henderson said. 

John Daley was unable to attend the 

meeting. 

After school snacks 

Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) 

has once again partnered with Children’s 

Hunger Alliance (CHA) to provide afterschool 

snacks for children ages 1-18 at several 

of its locations including: 

• Franklinton Branch: Monday - 

Saturday: 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. 

• Hilltop Branch: Monday - Friday: 

3:15-3:45 p.m. and Saturday: 2:15 - 2:45 

p.m. 

These locations were selected for the 

meal program based on student need. A 

typical super-snack provided by Children’s 

Hunger Alliance consists of a fruit, vegetable, 

protein, grain and milk. 

“Food insecurity was a pervasive issue 

facing our community well before the pandemic,” 

said CML CEO Patrick Losinski. 

“Now, with central Ohio reeling from 

simultaneous health and economic crises, 

our families need our support more than 

ever before. We’re grateful for the tremendous 

resources and partnership provided 

by Children’s Hunger Alliance.” 

Judy Mobley, president and CEO of 

CHA, said, “We value the continued partnership 

with Columbus Metropolitan 

Library working with us to provide meals 

to children in our community who experience 

food insecurity. Together we are making 

a difference in the lives of many central 

Ohio children each day.” 

Founded in 1970, Children’s Hunger 

Alliance is a statewide nonprofit organization 

dedicated to ending childhood hunger 

in Ohio. Through their work, Children’s 

Hunger Alliance provides healthy meals to 

hungry children, advocates for the welfare 

of Ohio’s youngest citizens and teaches 

nutrition and physical education to those 

they serve. 

news and notes 

All three new commissioners will take 

office on Jan. 1, 2023. 

In other news, John Ortli, a consultant 

for AECOM, attended the commission 

meeting to present a variance request. 

AEP is requesting two variances for its 

Columbus Southwest Service Center on the 

corner of Norton and Alkire roads. 

This center will be about 55,000 square 

feet. The front of the center will be offices 

and the back half will be a warehouse, 

loading docks, a maintenance facility, fuel 

island and a small storage area. There is 

currently a building on the property, built 

in the 1960s, which will be demolished. 

This building is currently located on 

Georgesville Road. 

Both variances are regarding the setback 

from the road. One variance states 

that the back flow cannot be placed in the 

200-foot set back from the road. Currently, 

the back flow meter enclosure is planned at 

133 feet. Also, the requirement for the 

parking setback is 25 feet and AEP wants 

to reduce that to an eight-foot setback. 

The requests were approved 6-0.

City awarded $2 million for 

Healthy Homes Program 

Mayor Andrew Ginther announced a $2 

million federal grant supporting the 

Healthy Homes Program, which protects 

vulnerable residents from housing-related 

hazards while preserving housing affordability 

in Columbus. The federal grant was 

distributed by the U.S. Department of 

Housing and Urban Development, and provides 

funding to the city through 2025. 

“The Healthy Homes Program connects 

our most vulnerable neighbors with the 

financial resources they need to keep their 

families stably housed,” said Ginther. “By 

lowering the cost of essential home repairs 

for those who need the most help, we are 

empowering our residents to stay safe and 

secure in their homes while continuing to 

make the Columbus Housing Strategy a 

reality for all.” 

The Healthy Homes Program supports 

Columbus households with incomes at or 

below 80 percent of the area median 

income (AMI) while giving priority to 

homes inhabited by children under the age 

of 6, seniors and those with disabilities. 

Eligible families can receive on average up 

to $7,500 to fix qualifying health and safety 

concerns such as mold and moisture, pests, 

injury and safety hazards, poor indoor air 

quality, carbon monoxide and lead-based 

paint. 

Funding from the federal grant is 

expected to serve more than 150 properties 

and educate 8,000 residents on how to keep 

their homes safe.

Pets of the week 

These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 

Faith and Hope, 

both 4-months-old, 

came from a feral cat 

colony. Both girls are 

quite shy but should 

warm up once they 

get settled into a new 

home. Faith would 

like to be adopted with her sister, Hope, or 

with existing pets for her to bond with. Hope 

would be a great companion for someone 

who likes to enjoy life’s quiet moments. These 

kittens are available for adoption through 

Friends for Life Animal Haven. 

FYI: fflah.org 

Clara is a sweet girl 

who is looking for 

someone to love. Her 

owner died and left 

her heartbroken, but 

this 3-year-old is 

learning to love 

again. She is a little 

shy but warms up 

quickly. She enjoys 

pets, treats, and a 

warm area to rest. 

Meet Clara at the Colony Cats cage-free 

adoption center. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Ginger Mae is an 

independent cat who 

likes her alone time, 

but will let you know 

when she would like 

you to pet her. She is 

docile and gentle, 

and since being 

moved to the busy 

adoption center, is 

usually hiding, often 

in a litter box. She’s a 

beautiful Maine Coone mix. Adopt her 

through Colony Cats. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Sweet Pea is a very 

sweet girl who is 

quiet, likes car rides, 

and would love a 

home as your one 

and only so she 

doesn’t have to share 

her people’s attention. 

She does have 

allergies but her skin 

has improved since 

starting her allergy 

medication. She is available for adoption or 

foster through the Franklin County Dog 

Shelter.

Finding homes for rescued hounds 

CHA Animal Shelter has received 10 beagles at its 

shelter in Columbus as part of the group of beagles to 

be removed from a mass-breeding facility. The 

Humane Society of the United States is coordinating 

the removal of approximately 4,000 beagles housed at 

a facility in Virginia, which bred dogs to be sold to laboratories 

for animal experimentation. 

The transfer plan was submitted by the 

Department of Justice, with the agreement of the 

Humane Society of the United States to assume the 

responsibility of coordinating placement. The transfer 

will take place in stages over several months, and the 

dogs will be up for adoption via CHA and other shelters 

and rescues. 

The beagles have received initial veterinary care 

and are scheduled to be spayed at CHA in the coming 

days. Once spayed, many will be placed up for adoption 

immediately so that they can start the journey of finding 

families. While many of the beagles are showing 

resilient personalities and are actively seeking out 

attention from staff and volunteers, a few are very shy 

and will likely spend some time further decompressing 

before they are ready for adoption. 

“CHA Animal Shelter is grateful to have the opportunity 

to partner with the Humane Society of the 

United States to help beagles from the breeding facility,” 

said CHA Executive Director, Kelsey Smucker. 

“Looking into their soulful eyes, it is wonderful to 

know that they are no longer destined to be used as 

laboratory animals and that they will instead live comfortable 

and safe lives with adoptive families.” 

The transfer plan comes as a result of a lawsuit filed 

against the breeding facility by the Department of 

Justice in May, alleging animal welfare act violations. 

“It takes a massive network of compassionate, 

expert shelters and rescues to make an operation of 

this scale possible,” said Lindsay Hamrick, shelter outreach 

and engagement director for the Humane 

Society of the United States. “We are deeply grateful to 

each organization that is stepping up to find these dogs 

the loving homes they so deserve.”

Animal Shelter is finding homes for, visit www.chaanimalshelter.org

Food Drive 

The Parkview Food Pantry is holding a food drive. 

The food pantry is having a difficult time keeping the shelves 

stocked due to shortages at the Food Bank and the increased cost 

of items purchased from there. The pantry had to close one week 

in July due to lack of food. Items needed include canned fruits and 

vegetables, canned tuna and chicken, pancake mix, syrup, jelly, 

hot dogs, lunch meat, hamburger, and chicken. Kroger gift cards 

are also welcomed. 

The Parkview Food Pantry is located at 344 S. Algonquin Ave.

The National Trade Association 

we belong to has 

purchased the following 

classifieds. Determining 

the value of their service 

or product is advised by 

this publication. In order 

to avoid misunderstandings, 

some advertisers do 

not offer “employment” 

but rather supply the

their clients establish mail 

order selling and other 

businesses at home. Under 

NO circumstance 

should you send any 

money in advance or give 

the client your checking, 

license ID or credit card 

numbers. Also beware of 

ads that claim to guarantee 

loans regardless of 

credit and note that if a 

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All

Although Jeff Baena is not a prolific 

director or a well-known screenwriter, his 

work thus far in the industry has garnered 

him a reputation as someone who is capable 

of piercing the hearts of an audience 

with eccentric comedies that examine the 

meaning of life (2004’s “I Heart 

Huckabees”) and also causing the minds of 

an audience to go into a state of bewilderment 

with eccentric comedies that examine 

the meaning of life (2014’s “Life After 

Beth”; 2017’s “The Little Hours”; and 

2020’s “Horse Girl”). 

With a majority of his credits listed 

above, one might argue that his earliest 

foray was only as successful or as memorable 

because it was co-written and directed 

by the prolific and well-known David O. 

Russell but that is something one has to 

push back on, just a little bit. While the end 

result of his work can be hit or miss, there 

is something about it that just makes you 

want to give it a try, especially if you have 

built up a tolerance to strange and unusual 

movies. 

That inquisitiveness about his work is 

what brought me to “Spin Me Round,” 

another eccentric comedy that examines 

the meaning of life. Released on demand 

this weekend, the film doesn’t delve as 

deeply or spend a lot of time pondering the 

question in relation to his prior films, but it

does hit on those existential themes of 

“What are we doing here?” and “Why am I 

doing what I’m doing?” 

Asking herself that question on a near 

daily basis is Amber, the central character 

played by Alison Brie. Amber is a very 

guarded person, one not quite willing to 

take a leap of faith, but years before the 

story in the movie begins, she did just that 

by leaving her financially secure job as a 

manager of a popular Italian eatery to open 

her own restaurant with her flaky 

boyfriend. When the film opens, she is back 

at her old position at Tuscan Grove, working 

tirelessly to build back her savings 

after her restaurant and her relationship 

went up into flames (figuratively for the 

former, probably literally with the latter). 

To acknowledge the “dedication of his 

workers,” Tuscan Grove’s CEO Nick 

Martucci (a delightfully wacky Alessandro 

Nivola) invites Amber and a number of 

other managers across the region to attend 

an all-expense paid trip to the Tuscan 

Grove Institute in Italy where they will be 

immersed in “cuisine and culture” while 

staying in a lush villa. At first, Amber is 

hesitant to attend this lavish affair, but she 

is lured by the promise of trying something 

new, something different, and possibly 

finding love again — romantic love and the 

love for her job and life. 

Immediately, she gets an inkling that 

things are not as they were promised — 

their guide Craig (Ben Sinclair) wants 

their passports for safe-keeping and their 

“lush villa” is in the back of a lush villa, 

overlooking the dumpsters — but she tries 

to make the best of her situation by striking 

up awkward work-like friendships with 

fellow Tuscan Grove branch managers Deb 

(Molly Shannon), Susie (Debby Ryan), Jen 

(Ayden Mayeri), Dana (Zach Woods) and 

Fran (Tim Heidecker). 

The part of this movie that works the 

best is within this ensemble as they all 

work well off of each other; but they are 

soon split apart as Nick (the Tuscan Grove 

CEO) casts his eye on Amber, dreamily 

wooing her as he likens her to his deceased

The Reel Deal 

Dedra Cordle 

sister. 

As their ethically 

questionable relationship 

begins to 

deepen, and as Nick 

begins to introduce 

Amber to a new 

world of intrigue, 

the film kinda loses the plot and begins to 

unravel as a whole. There is a whole subplot 

involving Nick’s assistant Kat (Audrey 

Plaza), the disappearance of the lovelorn 

chef that gave them culinary tips (a hysterical 

Lauren Weedman) the “poisoning” of 

her fellow managers, and the strange 

behavior of the elite company Nick keeps, 

to name a few. 

Although each of these subplots are very 

entertaining (it takes a while for all of 

them to make sense) it gives “Spin Me 

Round” a sense of unbalance and it makes 

the audience feel as if it isn’t quite sure 

what it wants to be. Is it a romance? A 

satirical romance? Is it a murder-mystery? 

Is it an abduction story? Is it pointed commentary 

about relationships as a whole? 

Or perhaps pointed commentary about 

work and wealth? At times, it tries to be all 

those things, but as stated before its zaniness 

and its messaging work within the 

ensemble, not quite as much without it. 

With plenty of laughs and absurdity to 

go around, there is a lot to enjoy with “Spin 

Me Round” but try as hard as the cast and 

their impeccable comedic timing might, 

they cannot entirely save the struggling 

narrative that runs throughout the movie 

or the plot that feels like it is just throwing 

things at the wall to see what sticks.
