This article during our Chapter’s 60th anniversary will look back at the history of this luncheon. In 2001 the October chapter meeting was marketed as an Officer Apprecia- tion Luncheon. The purpose of the luncheon was to recognize law enforce- ment and private security personnel, and to provide for increased network- ing and cooperation between the public and private sectors. Former Chapter Chairman and Chairman of the Legislative Liaison committee (for many years), John Tucker headed the committee for this luncheon. Our first luncheon was held on October 18, 2001, (coincidently the same date as this year’s luncheon), at The Me- dallion Country Club in Genoa Township. The luncheon speaker was Rev. Richard Ellsworth. Corporate tables were sold to fund the luncheon, so invited law enforcement guests would be able to attend at no cost to them. The tables of 10 cost the corporate sponsors $250.00. Five of the seats were reserved for invited law enforcement and the other five were used by the corporate table sponsors to fill with their invited guests. Chapter members were invited at a cost of $25.00 per person. The event was a great success with 17 corporate table sponsors who purchased tables and a total of 103 people were at the luncheon.

    Square The Art of Walking Walking is a great way to keep your body at a healthy weight! Obesity and chronic disease has risen in the United States. We may be raising the first generation of children to live a shorter live span than their parents, in part due to obesity and obesity-related conditions. CapitOL Physical activity is important for good health. Physical activity can prevent or reduce obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers. The US Surgeon General recommends 60 minutes of physical activity for children and 30 minutes for adults each day. The Columbus Art Walks Map is a unique way to get active while seeing great art, architecture and historical sites around Columbus. Walk Safe • Pedestrians (people walking) should walk on sidewalks or walk facing traffic. • Pedestrians should cross the street at traffic signals, crosswalks or at an intersection. • At an intersection with a pedestrian signal, cross the street when the signal shows “WALK” or a symbol of a walking person. Wait to walk if the sign shows or is flashing “DON’T WALK” or a symbol of an open hand. • You are less visible in the dark and when wearing dark clothing, so be extra careful! • The majority of the route is accessible and flat.

  • Gentrification in the Short North: from Run Down to Downtown
    Hansan 1 Gentrification in the Short North: From Run Down to Downtown A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by John Kent Hansan The Ohio State University June 2005 Project Advisor: Professor Steven Conn, Department of History Hansan 2 I. The Short North: Then and Now On the first Saturday of every month, people from all over central Ohio flock to the Short North for Gallery Hop. This short stretch of High Street, located just north of the central downtown center of Columbus, is packed with restaurants, specialty shops, and art galleries. Music, talk, and laughter fill the air as people wander from site to site, enjoying the vibrancy and life of the area. People slip into the High Street businesses, examine the art and other knick- knacks, and maybe make a purchase or two. On beautiful spring days, downtown employees eat at the restaurants and walk up and down the High Street strip. In the summer, a group of resident oddballs have a parade of insanity through the neighborhood. In the residential neighborhoods of Victorian Village and Italian Village, located on opposite sides of High Street, there are dozens of construction projects, some recently completed, some major renovations in process, and others on the drawing board. The residents are some of the most educated and most tolerant in all of Columbus. Driving around the neighborhood, one can see all sorts of symbols of diversity: rainbow flags, American flags, Ohio State flags, and flags of the University of Michigan.

    February 10th, 2021 The Honorable Kristina D. Roegner Chair, Government Overisght and Reform Committee Ohio Senate Ohio Statehouse Columbus, Ohio 43215 Chairwoman Roegner, Vice Chair McColley, Ranking Member Craig, and Members of the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee— Thank you for the opportunity to offer comments on Senate Bill 22, legislation that would expand the General Assembly’s oversight of Ohio’s response to a public health emergency. I am submitting these comments on behalf of nearly 3,000 pediatricians who are members of the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. First, let me state the obvious: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically challenged our great state and placed major hardships on nearly every member of, and institution within, our society. More than 10,000 Ohioans have lost their lives to the virus while many more have been seriously hospitalized and could face ongoing health issues. Additionally, we have seen reports showing a rise in other deaths due to suicide, drug overdose, and injury. These ‘deaths of despair’ add the toll of COVID-19 and have further traumatized our families and communities. This pandemic has created major challenges for our hospitals and public health system. Further, our businesses have been adversely impacted by state orders aimed at slowing the spread of this deadly virus. As a result, every Ohioan has been put under significant stress. Regardless of your views on the dangers of COVID- 19 or Governor DeWine’s handling of the pandemic, we all need to recognize the trauma and strain placed upon our fellow Ohioans.

My name is Renée Mancino and I am providing written testimony as the Executive Director of the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association (OHHA). The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association was established in 1953 and is the only non-profit association serving over 3,700 of Ohio's active Standardbred horse owners, breeders, trainers, drivers and fans who participate in the sport of standardbred racing in the Buckeye State at four commercial racetracks and sixty-six racing County Fairs. The mission of the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association is to preserve, protect, promote and serve the entire Standardbred industry in Ohio and beyond. The Association provides direct and substantial fiscal support to all fairs racing or not, by supplementing the live horseracing tax generated Ohio Fairs Fund monies that are distributed. The direct support the Association provides follows the same codified formula provided-for in RC. 3769.082 and 3769.0811. Including 2020, Ohio’s Horsemen have contributed more than $26 million since 2015 in support of Ohio’s sixty-six racing Fairs via capital improvements grants, stakes purses, signature race grants, on- track insurance, and the Little Brown Jug sponsorship. In addition to providing on-track representatives at each of the four extended pari-mutuel harness racetracks in Ohio, the Association provides support for twenty-one of the Buckeye State's 66 Racing Fairs with the Ohio Fair Racing Conference.
