Trunkor-Treat
Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle
On Oct. 21, dozens of creatures across
the region descended upon Town Center
Dentistry in Grove City as the dental
practice teamed up with the NovoCaine
Lounge to host the first annual Cars and
Cocktails Truck-or-Treat event. Billed as
a unique experience for children and
adults alike, it was equal parts a classic
car show, a light happy hour for adults,
and a place to score some delicious
treats in a safe place prior to the traditional
trick-or-treat night. “We just wanted
to put on a different event that the
entire community could enjoy,” said Dr.
John Dubos. Shown here (top right)
immensely enjoying the festivities are

Although the boys did not know each
other prior to this event, they became
fast friends, bonding over their love of
balloon swords and comic book superheroes.

plan for condos
By Andrea Cordle
Grove City Editor
Grove City Council approved legislation
that would bring more condominiums for
empty nesters to the community.
At the Oct. 17 meeting, council
approved the rezoning and development
plan for Hickory Creek, located north of
Orders Road and west of Southern Grove
Drive. The first piece of the legislation
changed the zoning code from single family
to planned development. The second piece

of legislation approved a development plan to allow
Pulte Homes of Central Ohio to construct an 81-unit
condominium community on 35 acres of land.
According to Jim Hilz, with Pulte Homes, this plan
will include detached patio home lots for empty
nesters. The development plan also features 12 acres
of land that would be set aside for open or green space.
Hilz said there will be a multi-use path that runs
throughout the community and connects to nearby
developments. The community will have a homeowner’s
association and condo association in place. The
cost of the units will be upward of $400,000.
As part of the legislation, Pulte Homes has agreed
to contribute just over $500,000 to the cost of improvements
to Orders Road and a waterline extension.
There was one hiccup in the development plan that
council addressed.
Council president Ted Berry said he was concerned
about the bike path route and the lack of connection in
certain areas. According to the proposed plan, the bike
path loops around a pond and has north and south connectivity
but lacks an east and west connection.
“You spend all this money on a path that goes
nowhere,” said Berry. “As a biker, I would never use
that path.”
To remedy the issue, council made two amendments
to the plan that would direct the developer to put bike
path pavement markings on Williamsburg Court and
Haley Way, as well as install caution light beacons at
Orders Road and Hickory Creek Drive. Council members
believe this will allow bicyclists to cross Orders
Road safely by alerting drivers that cyclists may be
nearby.
Councilwoman Christine Houk asked if there were
data that proves the pavement markings, or the caution
lights add a layer of safety.
Kevin Teaford, the safety director for the city of
Grove City, said he did not have that type of date but
said there have been no crash problems (involving
cyclists) in the southern part of the city. However,
Teaford cautioned that the likelihood of accidents go
up with new development that could cause an increase
in traffic.
Council also approved (with a 3-2 vote) a preliminary
development plan for the Courtyards at Mulberry
Run, located at 2110 White Road, near McDowell
Road.
This plan would include more than 70 condominiums
broken up with 40 lots of the north side of the
property and 34 units on the south side of the land. It
also includes a clubhouse and space for recreation, like
a pickleball court. The cost for the homes would start
around $300,000.
Council members Christine Houk and Mark Sigrist
voted against the legislation.
Houk said she struggled with the density in that
location and said the plan felt like it was “putting a
square peg in a round hole.”
The councilwoman also had concerns about the
infrastructure on White Road being able to support the
extra traffic from this size of a development.
Sigrist said this project was difficult to
envision.
“I don’t get the benefit for our city and
how it makes our city better,” he said.
The preliminary plan was able to move
forward with three votes, however, council
members said there are safety issues that
would need to be addressed before the final
approval.
Councilman Roby Schottke expressed
concern regarding traffic into the community.
He suggested adding a deceleration lane
on White Road into the community. Joel
Rhoades, who was in attendance representing
the applicant EC New Vision Ohio LLC,
said a traffic study was conducted and that
study said a deceleration lane was not warranted.
Berry said he had concerns about the
crossing to get from the north side of the
development to the south side. He asked
about adding a traffic signal. Rhoades again
said the traffic study did not show the need
for a traffic signal.

At a recent Jackson Township board of
trustees meeting, several residents who
live on Hibbs Road were in attendance to
bring forth a number of safety issues they
say have been plaguing their community.
Among the most egregious things they
said they have seen is semi-trucks traveling
through their residential road, posing a
real danger to the people who live in the
area and the motorists who are sharing the

roadway.
Making the issue even more precarious,
said resident Noreen Hartmann, is the fact
that the legal speed limit on Hibbs Road is
40 miles per hour. She said at that speed, it
makes it seem as if the semi-trucks are barreling
down the narrow road that features
several sharp turns.
“It is so dangerous,” she told the
trustees.
According to Hartmann, she reached out
to a number of county and state agencies to

see if they could fix the problem by posting
additional ‘no thru-truck’ signs on the
neighboring state routes or even reduce the
speed limit altogether. She said she did not
receive much guidance to quell her concerns.
“Something is going to happen (with all
of the trucks using Hibbs Road) and I am so
frustrated because no one that I’ve talked
to wants to say they’re responsible for the
safety on the road.”
The trustees said they were unaware of
the issue and vowed to take action.
Shortly after that meeting in
September, chairman Dave Burris said
they reached out to the county engineer’s
office to request a speed study for Hibbs
Road. He said although they knew that it
would not stop some motorists from speeding
should it be reduced, they believed it
would be a “step in the right direction” to
lessen the problem.
At the Oct. 11 regular meeting, the
board announced that they had received
the results of the study that was conducted
by the county engineer’s office. According
to Township Administrator Shane
Farnsworth, it was determined that the
speed limit on Hibbs Road would not be
lowered at this time.
“Although we are extremely appreciative
of the county engineer’s office for
responding to our request and turning this
report around very quickly, we were surprised
by some of the results in the report
regarding speeds and cut-through truck
traffic they witnessed (while doing field
studies),” said Farnsworth.
According to the report, the average
traffic counts on Hibbs Road reached
between 1,300 and 1,500 motorists daily
with speeds that averaged between 39 and
43 miles per hour. Hibbs Road residents
said they had issues with the information
that was collected as the counts were conducted
on June 21, 2022 — months before
the bridge on State Route 665 was closed.
Resident Bill Hartmann said the
amount of traffic — semi-truck and common
vehicular — has been increasing since the
bridge was closed. He said it is his fear that
it will not lessen even when the bridge
opens because of the residential and commercial
growth the surrounding area is
experiencing.
“They’ll just use our road even more as a
cut-through (to dodge traffic on state routes
104 and 665),” he said.
The residents and the township officials
also said they had concerns with the time
the field studies were conducted last month
— the Hartmann’s said peak semi-truck
traffic is between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. — and
the crash history data.
According to Michael Andrako, a county
mobility engineer, there have been 11 accidents
on Hibbs Road in the past three
years — nine of which were property damage
only crashes and two were injury
crashes. He added that these numbers are
www.columbusmessenger.com
Government Focus
Trustees share results of Hibbs Road traffic study
$100 Preventative Maintenance (tune up)
reported crashes and incidents only.
“We know that there are probably many
more unreported crashes or incidents that
have occurred, but we can only use the data
that has been reported,” he said.
Andrako said the reported crash history
is just one of the elements that are used to
determine whether the speed limit on a
road should be reduced. In addition to the
crash history, the engineer’s office also
takes into account the daily traffic numbers,
the observed speeds in field studies,
and the characteristics of the road. He said
they compile all of that data and compare it
with speed zone evaluation sheets established
by the state department of transportation
and software tools used by the
Federal Highway Administration.
He said both of the state and federal
procedures determined that the speed limit
on Hibbs Road should remain at 40 miles
per hour.
Although the speed limit will not be
changed at present, the county said they
will work with the state and the township
to place additional safety features on the
road. For instance, Andrako said they can
post no-thru truck signs on the state routes
to alert semi-truck drivers that they are
not permitted to use Hibbs Road.
Farnsworth said he believes that step
would be beneficial for the safety of the residents
on Hibbs Road.
“The problem is once (the semi-truck
drivers) turn onto Hibbs Road, they are
committed because there is no turning
point,” he said. “So, we will keep trying to
work with ODOT and working up the food
chain of ODOT to get those signs onto the
state routes so they can see them well
before they get to the intersections on 665
and 104.”
The trustees said they have also spoken
with the county sheriff’s office to post special
duty officers on Hibbs Road during
peak traffic hours. Burris said he has even
spoken with the county about posting
weights and measures officials on Hibbs
Road to weigh commercial trucks should
they cut-through.
“It’s only going to take one (citation
being issued) because they’re going to tell
all their buddies ‘I just got fined x number
of dollars’” he said. “And then they won’t be
going through there anymore because
those tickets are not cheap.”
The residents of Hibbs Road said that
while they appreciate all of the steps that
are being taken to reduce the number of
safety issues on the road, they do want the
township to continue to work with the
county and state to have the speed limit
lowered.
The trustees said they will continue to
work with any agency in order to improve
personal safety for the residents.
“We’re trying all we can within our
realm of what we can do and we’re not
going to stop,” said Burris. “We are not
going to stop.”

Tornado siren relocated
With the closing of Pleasant View
Middle School, the Pleasant Township tornado
siren has been relocated. The siren
has to be relocated to a new area on the
property.
According to Pleasant Township Fire
Chief Dave Whiting, it has been relocated
to the back of the property at Pleasant
View. The township is responsible for the
cost of moving the siren which was originally
estimated at between $2,600 and
$3,000. Previously the trustees had
approved the expenditure of $3,000 for the
siren but according to Whiting, they
require an additional $414.17 for the project.
The trustees did approve the additional
expense for the tornado siren project.
The county will continue to maintain
the siren at an approximate cost of $1,000.
It has been determined that this is still the
optimal location for the siren.

Tax-Aide volunteers needed
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, which had
to scale back operations at the Grove City
Church of the Nazarene because of the
pandemic, hopes to return to full strength
next tax season and is looking for volunteers.
The all-volunteer program provides free
income tax preparation to all comers, but
places a special emphasis on serving
senior citizens. Before the pandemic, taxaide
volunteers prepared tax returns for
more than 800 Grove City area residents
each year.
Volunteers come from all walks of life,
from accountants to warehouse workers.
No experience is required. Tax-Aide provides
training, a computer to work on and
mentorship throughout the tax season.
For more information, go to aarpfoundation.org/taxaidevolunteer
or call 1-888-
227-7669.
Property Tax
Assistance Program
The Franklin County Auditor’s office is
now accepting applications for the
Property Tax Assistance Program (PTAP)
from low-income older homeowners who
need help paying their 2022 first-half
property taxes, said Auditor Michael
Stinziano.
The PTAP provides emergency one-time
property tax assistance to low-income
homeowners age 60 or older and is a nonprofit
entity. New this year, the PTAP
application can be submitted online.
PTAP applications are reviewed by a
board that includes the Franklin County
auditor’s office, Franklin County treasurer’s
office, Franklin County Office on
Aging, Central Ohio Area Agency on
Aging, and several other partner organizations.
“PTAP can help older residents on fixed
incomes keep their homes despite rising
home values,” Stinziano said. “I encourage
anyone who needs assistance and qualifies
to apply to the program.”
Applications are due by Nov. 18.
Information about the program and an
application can be found on the auditor’s
office website, franklincountyauditor.com.
The PTAP was founded in 1987 and has
supported hundreds of qualifying homeowners
in Franklin County.

Romantic comedy uses star power to shine
A vital piece that has been missing in
the romantic comedies of late — besides a
truly original plot, that is — is the lack of
genuine movie stars featured within. To be
fair and kind to the up-and-coming actors
and the well-known faces who are cast in
their stead, they mostly do an admirable
job of trying to sell these products of pure
fluff to the masses, but it is the presence of
the movie star that can make even the
most standard rom-com on the lot truly pop
off the screen.
“Ticket to Paradise”, a romantic comedy
that was released solely into the theaters
on Oct. 21, understands the power that
they can hold and uses it to their advantage.
Truthfully, it doesn’t have a great
script, but it doesn’t have to have one
because George Clooney and Julia Roberts
are speaking its words. And it’s not even
that romantic, but it doesn’t have to be
because Clooney is smiling his crinkly
smile and Roberts is giving her clarion call
laugh. Heck, it’s not even particularly good,
but it doesn’t really have to be because
these sparkling and beautiful people are
throwing their sparkle and beauty around
in a movie whose locale is as equally
sparkling and beautiful.
This is a film that knows it is not a great
piece of cinematic art, but it effortlessly
wields the power of the movie star and
somehow manages to be something that is
light and fun and mostly charming. With
the shininess of the stars and the magnificent
of its beachscapes, it lulls you into
looking past its general ho-hum-ness and
asks that you bask in a world that you
could never dream of living — or afford to,
for most of us.
In “Ticket to Paradise,” Clooney plays
David Cotton, a bachelor architect living in
Chicago who, after nearly 20 years of being
divorced, still gripes about his first and
only wife to any co-worker who is willing to
lend an ear — or just be within his general
vicinity. For her part, Roberts plays
Georgia Cotton, a gallerist semi-living with
her pilot boyfriend who, after nearly 20
years of being divorced, still gripes about
her first and only husband to any co-worker
who is willing to lend an ear — or just be
within her general vicinity.
Although they are bitter exes to the
core, they have managed to raise a nearly
perfect daughter Lily (Kaitlyn Dever) who
has just graduated from law school and is
on her way to a prestigious job at the top
law-firm in Illinois. To celebrate her accomplishments,
David and Georgia have paid
“BEST NEW YEARS PARTY IN TOWN”
18 th Annual
Mike Albert
and
The Big E. Band
to send her and her best friend Wren (Billie
Lourd) on an all-expense paid vacation to
Bali for two months before they have to get
used to the soul-sucking grind of adulthood.
Feeling as if they did a good deed by
working together on this project, the (when
put together) demonic duo agree to never
see or speak to the other again — and they
do just that until Lily shoots off an email
saying she met a wonderful local man
named Gede (Maxime Bouttier) and they
plan to marry within a weeks’ time.
Not wanting their daughter to make the
same mistake as they did — David and
Georgia married right out of college and
she put her career plans on hold to support
her family — they strike a rare truce and
agree to work together to sabotage their
impending nuptials from the inside. While
the film does not fully acknowledge how
truly awful their mission is and how off the
deep-end they are, the genuine movie stars
play their parts so well that they manage
to infuse their characters with some
pathetic charm so you do not outright hate
them for their occasional bouts of
wretchedness.
This romantic comedy likes to split its
time between the two couples, one fresh in
the bloom of love and the other, well, decidedly
not — or so it seems. Over the course of
trying to crush their daughter’s heart and
spirit, the latter pair can’t help but get
swept up in the magic of the island and the
unresolved issues that have frayed their
once loving friendship and romance.
Although both of the couples could use a bit
more of a romantic chemistry, it’s hard to
deny that the adults are the most interesting
pairing to watch, much of it due to the
The Reel Deal
Dedra Cordle
fact that they were
given the most
material to work
with and had the
characters who were
the most developed.
It also doesn’t hurt
that they are played
by movie stars who know how to chew the
fat from any scene.
“Ticket to Paradise” is a movie where
you can see how much fun the actors had
filming it, and for the most part, that translates
out of the screen and with the audience.
But with its over-reliance on the star
power of Clooney and Roberts, some
aspects of the film suffer from a lack of
attention paid to other important elements,
like the dialogue or development of secondary
characters you are also supposed to
care about.
Overall, this film isn’t a bad one but if
you are able to withstand the presence of
Clooney and Roberts together again, you’ll
probably notice the cracks in the foundation
a bit more. But if you just want to turn
off your brain and watch beautiful people
do ugly things and then put in some work
to beautify themselves again in a majestic
location, then this might be something you
want to check out when you get a chance.
