Running through Obstacles W

Colton Showalter runs, sings and swings his way into community hearts

8 January/February 2024

Showalter’s infectious spirit has earned him many friends around the city.

He moved here his sophomore year of high school, and immediately fell in love with the city’s many recreation opportunities.

“When he started going to Grove City, he fell in love with the sports and the band,” John says.

Showalter didn’t miss a single game during his time at Grove City High School, and he still goes to cheer on the Greyhounds in every sport.

Showalter also participated in show choir during high school, and he returns to sing in the annual concert. He continues to sing today with the Lighthouse Community Christian Church choir.

Showalter made an impression on all of GCHS, and he developed an especially strong bond with the baseball team, which he continues to grow as team manager. His love of America’s favorite pastime has also led him to get involved with Grove City Buddy Ball. The program brings people of all abilities to the baseball diamond, fostering teamwork and community.

Showalter has been part of Buddy Ball, helping the mission grow since its arrival in Grove City.

Showalter’s endearing spirit doesn’t go unnoticed when he’s on the field, evidenced by the fans that follow him to every game. John recalls a Buddy Ball game where the entire high school baseball team attended to support him.

“Community-wise, they’re always there for him, and in return, he’s there for them,” John says. “He won’t miss a game.”

When he’s not coaching or playing in a game himself, Showalter can be found rubbing elbows with the police www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

hether you’re stopping by a high school baseball game, the fire station, Coffee with a Cop or almost any happening in town, Colton Showalter will be there. Showalter is 28 years old, and he was born with cerebral palsy. He is also one of Grove City’s biggest advocates, and anyone with even the smallest involvement with the city has likely crossed his path.

Showalter lives in Grove City with his mother and stepfather, Michele and John Manering, but with his endless community commitments, he’s rarely home.

“I call him the Grove City nerd,” Michele Manering says. “He has a lifetime pass to all (Grove City High School) home games,” John adds.

Showalter has a foot in every door of the community, and his athletic endeavors take up a large part of his busy schedule. With more than 70 medals from different events in the Franklin County Developmental Disabilities Special Olympics, multiple half marathon finishes and a position as manager of the Grove City High School baseball team, Showalter is a deeply passionate athlete.

“In law enforcement, when there’s a lot of unfortunate circumstances – sad stories, challenging times – for someone like him to be around us, he immediately makes everyone smile.”

chief or the members of the fire department. His relationship with the fire department was born after he began volunteering there, washing fire trucks twice a week. In his typical fashion, Showalter’s relationship with the department has since blossomed.

Showalter is now an honorary member of the Jackson Township Fire Department, and he fills free moments with his friends at the department or going to controlled burns.

Showalter also works in the cafeteria at OhioHealth Doctors Hospital, and when firefighters come in with patients, Showalter’s smiling face is there to greet them.

He has an equally strong relationship with the police department. Showalter has joined the department for National Night Out, Coffee with a Cop and many more department functions.

“When he feels down and out, I’ll call the police department, and we’ll go up at 10 o’clock at night,” Manering says.

“He’ll talk to them, hug them and he’s fine.”

The police department is a strong support system for Showalter, and this aid extends both ways. Lieutenant Justin Gallo, a member of the Grove City Police Department and one of Showalter’s closest friends, can attest to that close bond. The duo first connected in 2014 at GCHS, and what started out as a mentoring relationship has now become a tight friendship.

From fake arresting the GCHS principal and bunking together on a baseball trip to fixing cabinets at Gallo’s house, the pair has been through thick and thin together. Gallo emphasizes the importance of Showalter’s relentless positivity, an attribute that’s especially comforting after long days on the job.

“In law enforcement, when there’s a lot of unfortunate circumstances – sad stories, challenging times – for someone like him to be around us, he immediately just makes everyone smile,” Gallo says.

Another of Showalter’s strongest connections is with Chief of Police Eric Scott. Gallo introduced the two, and after Scott saw their unique bond, he immediately recognized that Showalter is a special person. Scott attended Showalter’s first www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

powerlifting competition and even asked Showalter to walk in his place in the Arts in the Alley parade. Like so many others, Scott feels a natural draw to Showalter and his neverending positivity.

“He makes you feel like a superstar,” Scott says. “It’s a very rewarding relationship.”

Grove City’s police and fire departments have been known for their friendly rivalry, and Showalter loves to fuel that flame. When Showalter was training for a triathlon, the fire department and police department competed against one another to raise money to purchase a bicycle for Showalter.

Last February, the police participated in the Polar Plunge to raise money for Showalter. When he isn’t participating in local events or visiting his uniformed friends, they are known to stop by the Manering residence for visits.

“We have to tell our neighbors, ‘We’re not bad people – that’s just his family,’” Manering says.

While cerebral palsy brings unique challenges to Showalter, he has never backed down from obstacles. Instead, he runs right through them. Running a half marathon is no easy feat for anyone, but Showalter put those 13.1 miles in his rearview mirror. He also runs with Team Heart and Sole, an organization that helps people of all abilities compete in endurance races.

In 2021, Showalter was recognized at the Thanksgiving Wattle 5K with the Thanksgiving Wattle Lifetime Impact Award, a prestigious award for citizens who have created a lasting impact on the community. At 26, Showalter was its youngest recipient.

Ask any firefighter, hospital volunteer or resident, and they will agree that Showalter’s spirit is felt everywhere in the community. It’s hard to put into words the feeling that Showalter brings to Grove City each day, but Gallo sums it up best.

“Just pure joy,” Gallo says. “I don’t know a better way to say it.”

Grove City Donation Continues Buckeye Ranch Support

T

he Buckeye Boys Ranch, founded in 1961, originally opened as a residential treatment center for socially struggling boys. What started as one residential cottage treating 10 boys, evolved over six decades, adding services and care for girls, and ultimately changing its name to The Buckeye Ranch.

Today, The Ranch operates six different locations and is considered one of the country’s leading providers of emotional, behavioral and mental health services for children and families.

Each day, more than 2,350 youth are in the care of The Buckeye Ranch system, receiving services designed to help them become successful within their families, schools and communities. The mission of The Ranch has always been to restore hope and provide healing for youth and families, adjusting programs to meet those goals as society changes.

In January 2023, The Buckeye Ranch and Nationwide Childrens Hospital (NCH), long-time partners in

children’s psychiatric care, announced plans to expand the mental health treatment center in Grove City, bolstering support for youth facing such struggles. The new facility and services will help fill a gap for youth that often exists between inpatient stays and a safe, successful return to their home and communities.

Growing by more than 57,000 square feet, the $35 million project will add a residential mental health facility, an on-site education center and welcome areas for families to enjoy during visits.

Grove City’s Action Plan to Promote Mental Health and Prevent Substance Use Disorders, introduced in July 2022, links the City’s efforts with county and state-level initiatives focused in part on improving treatment, care and support of residents struggling with their mental health. The Plan, created by a committee of highly

qualified local professionals and citizens led by Council Member Christine Houk and Safety Direct Kevin Teaford, emphasizes coordinating and partnering with organizations to strengthen the City’s impact. This includes supporting The Buckeye Ranch and NCH in their mission to significantly influence the short- and long-term impact on the next generation.

In October, the City of Grove City made a substantial donation to the expansion project, joining other key individual and corporate donors, including Nationwide Foundation, Huntington Bank, Cameron Mitchell and Google.

The $250,000 contribution further defines the City’s commitment to improving treatment, care and support for those in need.

“In addition to following through with our commitment to positively impact the mental health of our youth, we’re making a statement with this www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

contribution,” said Mayor Richard L. “Ike” Stage. “And our statement is – It’s crucial we work together, pool our resources and work to provide our youth the best chance for success.”

stablished in 1958, the City’s charter created a ward system, calling for five council members, one for each ward and one at-large, to represent the community.

Council reviews the City’s residential growth every 10 years, and if there is a difference in population between the largest and smallest ward of 40% or greater, the areas are redistricted to distribute representation more equally.

In 2017, ballot measures were introduced and approved by voters to add a second at-large Council member and a fifth ward, expanding Council from five members to seven.

New pediatric behavioral health facility breaks ground in Grove City

E

veryone has days where they just don’t feel like themselves, but when the bad days start to outnumber the good days, it may be time to consult a mental health professional. Luckily, Grove City has a wealth of trusted healthcare providers and the numbers are growing, particularly for children in need of mental health care.

If your child is struggling with their mental health, they aren’t alone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2011-2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data found that American students’ mental health is on an overall declining trend.

The study results indicate that “the percentage of students across every racial and ethnic group who felt persistently sad or hopeless increased,” and, “in 2021, 22% of high school students seriously considered attempting suicide during the past year.”

With this increasing need for mental health treatment putting a strain on ex14 January/February 2024

isting care facilities, Buckeye Ranch and Nationwide Children’s Hospital have partnered to open a new facility in an effort to provide the best possible care for children and adolescents struggling with severe mental illness and behavioral issues.

Recognizing the Need Seeing a counselor regularly and practicing self-care are great ways to improve and maintain positive mental health, but some children may need more attention. www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

Bridging the Gap

For more resources and information regarding children’s mental health, visit Nationwide Children’s On Our Sleeves Movement at www.onoursleeves.org If a child displays signs of a mental health emergency – such as experiencing thoughts of self-harming or suicide – experts at Nationwide Children’s or Buckeye Ranch can admit them to an inpatient facility for their safety. While they can be closely monitored and cared for, when they leave inpatient care, the path forward isn’t always certain. Aileen Hoffman, vice president at Nationwide Children’s, says that while the goal is getting the child back home to their family, there is a fear that they may not be well enough to return to their home lives. This is where the new facility comes in.

“A lot of times, our patients that are coming to the inpatient unit, we’re having trouble getting them to another level of care once we stabilize them here in the hospital,” Hoffman says. “So sometimes they stay here unnecessarily for a longer period of time until we can find a placement for them, and then sometimes that placement is out of state, so it’s really far away.”

This new 57,000-square-foot facility in Grove City helps to bridge the gap in care between the hospital and home, in the hopes that fewer children fall back into crisis after being discharged.

It will also open more beds to children actively in crisis who need the highest level of care.

More Than Therapy The top priority of staff at the facility is safety. On campus at Buckeye Ranch, patients, supervised by staff, walk as a group to nearby buildings when they need to utilize recreational spaces.

By providing all the necessary resources in a single building, the new facility gives patients more independence while also allowing for greater security, as staff can watch over them wherever they are on campus.

Not only will patients at this new facility receive the care they need, they will www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

also continue their education at the facility through South-Western City Schools.

“We’ve learned through that mental health program and education program that we can combine education and mental health treatment physically by giving kids classrooms attached to one another,” Vicki Thompson-Sandy, president and CEO at Buckeye Ranch, says.

Patients will also have easy access to a gymnasium within the facility, pro-

viding a place where they can blow off steam while still being monitored for safety.

Being closer to home, families can visit their loved ones more conveniently. The building’s welcome center will serve as a meeting space to allow parents and other trusted adults to be more involved in the child’s recovery.

“We really believe that children thrive in their own family and in their

While poor mental health isn’t always caused by outside factors, problems at home and within the child’s community can exacerbate mental and behavioral health issues. Studies have shown that socioeconomic factors such as unstable housing, poverty and witnessing violence can negatively affect the mental health of both adults and their children.

One cohort study conducted in Germany found that “children and adolescents with a low socioeconomic status suffer from multiple stressful life situations and are exposed to a higher risk of developing mental health problems. The findings suggest that the reduction of socioeconomic inequalities and interventions for families with low parental education might help to reduce children’s mental health problems.”

Social factors, like being bullied or conflicts with peers and feeling disconnected from their community, can also negatively impact young people’s mental health. Helping children build healthy self-esteem and surrounding them with a strong support system can help mitigate these problems.

Parents, educators and other members of the community can take steps to build a more stable and safe community for our youngest residents.

This includes refusing to perpetuate the stigma against mental illness and maintaining safe spaces where children won’t feel ashamed to talk about their mental health.

Showing kindness and being open, as well as modeling healthy relationships and healthy coping skills, are actions anyone can take that make a big difference.

Printing with a Purpose Making an awesome difference

By Rachel Karas

A

round the corner from Beulah Park, just off Southwest Boulevard, sits a red brick building that is unassuming on the outside, but inside, good people are making a big difference for our community.

That building houses a screenprinting press, about a dozen employees, and a business called The Awesome Company.

The Awesome Company creates Tshirts, bags, sweatshirts and other merchandising items to sell to businesses, organizations and groups locally and throughout central Ohio, all with the help of autistic and neurodiverse people.

Jacquie Mahan founded the company in 2016 and has enjoyed its growth in the years since, and says she can’t wait for the next steps toward expansion.

From Concept to Finished Product

18 January/February 2024

Jacquie Mahan started The Awesome Company after noticing a lack of opportunities for autistic adults.

Mahan is a fourth-generation Grove City resident. After owning an art gallery and then a Pilates studio for several years, Mahan wanted to start a more creative adventure and find a way to give back.

As she watched her son grow up, she experienced the many programs available for kids with autism and, later, the lack of jobs for autistic adults.

Several programs offer activities and job coaching, but not always long-term work opportunities.

Lifelong Doubles Partners Chaffin brothers find success in pickleball By: Mike Maynard

22 January/February 2024

I

n Grove City, two young men have been taking the pickleball court by storm.

Brothers Connor and Camden Chaffin have been rising through the ranks in the sport, and have already competed on a national level – all within months of picking up the sport. Connor is a junior at Grove City High School, and younger brother Camden is a seventh-grader at Jackson Middle School.

Pickleball, a game created for the family, was invented in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum. Almost 20 years later, the United States Amateur Pickleball Association (USAPA) was created. The group set the stage for the explosion of growth in the sport. By the early ’90s, pickleball was being played in every state. Between 2013 and 2020, USAPA membership increased by approximately 1,000 percent, jumping from around 4,000 members to more than 40,000.

In 2020, Grove City allotted funds to build pickleball courts in local parks. By the end of that year, the popularity of the sport in Grove City had grown exponentially. However, the Chaffin brothers’ history with the game predates Grove City’s courts.

They would play on the tennis courts at Windsor Park, using chalk to create regulation pickleball courts.

A family member from California shipped over paddles and equipment to the Chaffin household so they could play together while visiting. As the cliche goes, the rest is history.

“We were playing a lot and kind of became addicted. We started watching videos of professionals (online), so we picked it up very quickly,” Cam says.

The game was specifically designed for anyone to play. Luckily for the Chaffins, that means there was always someone to play with – either as an opponent or teammate.

The Chaffin brothers have found that the strategic element is the most exciting part of the game.

When it rains, Connor (left) and Camden (right) set up a pickleball court in the basement.

“You have to be more strategic and Like a game of chess, players are adjust on the spot. It’s a constant battle always trying to anticipate what their of trying to catch the other team off opponent will try next. The best pickguard,” Connor says. leball players are always two or three steps ahead.

www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

In December 2021, Connor and Camden competed in their first local tournaments and began to see success throughout 2022. By June 2022, they were competing in the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships representing Grove City in Naples, Florida.

The brothers play in the 5.0 division of pickleball, which is just a step below pro competition. Competitors are incredibly diverse in age, some even younger than the Chaffins and others as old as 36. While competing against players more than double their age can be intimidating, it hasn’t discouraged either of them or thrown them off their game.

“At first, it is intimidating because (some opponents) will hit it fast toward you, and we would be like, whoa, but it wouldn’t take long to get the hang of it,” Cam says.

With each obstacle they face, the Chaffins are motivated to keep getting better. After every game, they make a list of what went well and what they want to keep working on. They appreciate that the pickleball community is so welcoming and are always open to

advice from experienced players they meet at tournaments.

While they keep busy developing their skills in pickleball, both brothers have their own passions off the court, too. Connor is a dedicated bassoonist in the Grove City High School Marching Band.

In fall, he is always busy with practice or playing on Football Friday Night. He lends his talents to several community orchestras.

The younger Chaffin is also a musician, playing trumpet for his middle school band, and he plays travel baseball during the winter.

“It’s kind of hard to have a social life when you’re really busy with all this other stuff, but obviously, band is a pretty social thing.

Baseball is a social thing, and when we’re going to these tournaments, we have a lot of people from all over the country that we get to Camden plays trumpet and baseball. meet,” Camden says.

Student Spotlight

By Jane Dimel

Artist, Historian, Middle-schooler Young artist is inspired by history

A

Bliss’ process of drawing Theodore Roosevelt

While he enjoys studying and learning from other artists, Brant has developed a unique style of his own.

“I think I add my own (style). I use cross-hatching a lot, so I use that more than other people,” Brant says.

Brant’s first historical portrait was of Abraham Lincoln, who has become one of his favorite historical people to draw.

He says his most recent recreation of Lin-

coln is his favorite to date, as it shows his growth as an artist. He has also drawn Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Frederick Douglass. Brant says Roosevelt was requested by his Instagram followers, and he and his mom think it is his best and most detailed work, worthy of its Best in Show title last year.

He is heavily inspired by history.

His family visited George Washington’s

manda-Clearcreek Local School District student Brant Bliss is a triple-threat: a high-achieving student, a basketball point guard and an artist. At only 12 years old, Brant has won multiple awards for his charcoal portraits of historical figures at school arts competitions and Arts in the Alley.

This year, Brant earned second place for the Middle School 6-8 Media 2-D category with his piece JFK Graphite. Previously, he won the Youth Art Show’s Best of Show in 2022 and People’s Choice in 2021 with his drawings of historical figures.

Through these competitions, Brant’s work has been recognized and commended for his growth. His family is very supportive of his art, and his parents consistently encourage him to enter competitions and hang his awards in the family dining room.

Brant started his art journey when he was 3 years old. One of his first drawings was a full-body 3-D drawing of Spider-Man with a No. 2 pencil and lined paper. His mom, Kristin, who has been a portrait photographer for 13 years, says she immediately recognized the uniqueness of his talents.

“I was like, ‘That seems crazy that a 3-year-old could see that and put that on paper.’ At that point, that was the drawing where I was like, ‘I think we might have an artist,’” Kristin says.

Brant began drawing portraits when he was 7 years old, learning from YouTube tutorials from artists like Steven Atkinson Fine Art. Atkinson even reached out to Brant and invited him to his studio when the Bliss family visited Arizona.

home in Virginia, and he began to draw the first American president soon after.

“I always liked history and stuff, like presidents, and I just thought it was going to be cool if I drew them,” Brant says.

Give Me Some Space!

The need for storage initiates an entire first-floor renovation

28 January/February 2024

The upgrade to taller, full overlay cabinets allows the Grubbs to use the entire space for pots, pans and appliances. Additional cabinetry acts as a pantry across from the peninsula. A shallow cabinet prevents food from

getting lost in the depths of the pantry, making everything easy to find and saving valuable floor space.

A decorative hutch cabinetry piece was built to separate the dinette and living space. The wall feature adds a www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

he Grubb family knew when they moved into their home that they wanted to make some changes.

But somewhere between taking care of family, work and daily life, 12 years had passed, and they were still looking at the wallpaper they hated on move-in day.

“During the pandemic, we were thinking of actually building a new house,” Frank Grubb says. “We started looking at some of the neighborhoods in Grove City and realized that for what we wanted versus what we had, we would probably double our mortgage.”

With family down the road and two young daughters who have built a life in the community, leaving Grove City wasn’t even a thought. So, rather than start from square one, the Grubbs decided to instead remodel what they already had. And they were starting in the kitchen.

“Our biggest complaint about the kitchen was that there wasn’t enough storage,” Frank says.

tremendous amount of additional storage, and the couple now uses the counter space as a classy bar area.

“The biggest thing we’ve noticed is that the kitchen stays cleaner,” Julie Grubb says. “We both work from home, so we eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at our house. (The kitchen) gets used, but because of the additional storage space, the things that used to stay on the counter have somewhere to be put away.”

In addition to the upgraded storage space, the Grubbs wanted to create a cleaner and brighter look that still reflected their personalities.

“We’re both finance people,” Frank says. “Creativity and loud colors are not our things in general, so we wanted something to brighten up the space but still be durable.”

With the help of designer Brittany Miller from J.S. Brown and Co., the couple built around gray and white cabinetry. With suede granite counters and light glass backsplash tile, a neutral but brightening palette was created. A new coat of light gray paint and www.DiscoverGroveCity.com

refinished wood floors made the changes cohesive across the whole first floor.

The beautiful pool in the backyard keeps the Grubbs busy hosting all summer long, but the festivities never stretched before into the colder seasons.

Now, thanks to the gorgeous remodel, the Grubbs play host even after cold weather sets in.

“We do have people over more in cold weather than we did before,” Julie says. “We’ve had people over for football games recently, which is something we didn’t really do before.”

Having company becomes even more fun when you aren’t dreading doing the dishes afterwards.

Giving the kitchen sink more depth and creating a workstation for pots, cutting boards and lunch boxes was always part of the plan. Something the family didn’t count on was how much of a difference moving the peninsula over a few inches would make.

This small movement created a smooth wrap around the corner of the counter and a roomier space for anyone who was standing at the sink. This minor tweak creates long-term impact for a busy family who needs a home that can keep up.

“In general, we’re proud of what we did and what it looks like,” Frank says.

“Before it was dark and kind of sad, but now we feel like it’s more welcoming.”
