Franklinton Streets Painted Purple!Judy Box, Franklinton Area Commission

Forty some years ago, the city of Columbus divided the city into “areas” and invited citizens to establish “area commissions.” The FranklintonAreaCommissionhasbeeninplaceforalmost50yearsandhashelpedguideFranklintonthroughmanysignificantchanges.The primary role of the Area Commission is to be a conduit between the city and the residents, and when the city has grand plans, they tendtocontacttheareacommissionfirstforfeedback.Whenthecitizens have serious problems, we contact the city through the Area Commission or the Pride Centers. This relationship has worked well for decades. Over the years the city and the Area Commission worked together to draw up development plans – most recently the East and West Franklinton plans. We work together on zoning issues, development, grants for all sorts of projects, and crime, just to name a few. The AreaCommissionisthebestplacetofindoutwhatishappeningorplannedforFranklinton–ifwedon’tknow,weusuallyknowwhoto ask. We are now at a serious crossroads.

Naloxone Saves Lives In Fight Against Opioid Epidemic

Naloxone, a medication commonly known as Narcan, reversesopioidoverdosesbyblockingtheeffectsofopioids,suchas prescription pain killers or heroin, on the brain and can restore breathing in a matter of minutes. Naloxone has no potential for abuse and it can be given as a nasal spray or as an injection into a muscle. Prioritizing the accessibility of naloxone to at-risk opioid users and those individuals who can intervene and save lives is an importantstepourlocalgovernmentcantakeinjoiningthefightagainstthedrugoverdoseepidemic.In2015,thisepidemictookthelives of more than 3,000 Ohioans, including 279 residents of Franklin County. In 2013, when I was serving our community as State Representative in the Ohio House, I sponsored legislation that expanded access to naloxone by making it available to family members, those close to drug users, and law enforcement. This September,undertheleadershipofCityCouncilPresidentKlein,Council passed legislation appropriating dollars to Columbus Public Health and allowing CPH to contract with Equitas Health, a non-profitcommunitybasedhealthcenter,toprovidenaloxonetoresidents of Central Ohio. Inaddition,Columbuspoliceofficershavebeenauthorizedtocarry and administer naloxone. As police frequently arrive at the scene beforeEMS,dozensofliveshavebeensavedbylawenforcement. The tragedy of opioid addiction is real and urgent for too many families in our community. Thus, we have a moral imperative to support compassionate responses focused on treatment and rehabilitation. For opioid users, naloxone can be an opportunity at a second chance and a pathway to treatment and sustained recovery.AsCouncilPresidentZachKleinhassaid,“theevidenceistherethatonce a life is saved, once there are opportunities made available, there is an increased likelihood for successful treatment.” Pharmacies around Ohio now offer naloxone without aprescription.

Mark your calendars forWednesday, January 18 at 6:30 pm. Christine Hayes will present “The Lost Restaurants of Columbus.” J o i n C h r i s t i n e H a y e s , daughter of Ben Hayes―long-time popular columnist for the Columbus Citizen and the Columbus Citizen-Journal―assheshareshermemories and research about the fabulous old restaurants of Columbus.Inheritingherfather’slove of literature, Columbus history, and the telling of a good story, Christine is well-equipped to craft her own erudite and entertaining tales. Christine works for the Acorn Bookshop at 1464 West Fifth Avenue in Grandview and writes a reflective columnfor The Short North Gazette. The following excerpt from one of her columns describes what it was like to accompany her dad “on his beat” as she was growing up: “He was just at home in downtown Columbus. I spent countless hours in restaurants (I befriended bartenders, waiters and waitresses, naming my dolls after the latter), theaters, openings and press parties. We had free passes to everything. I accompanied him to museums, art galleries, graveyards, historic sites, visiting old-timers and celebrities… He rarely got to eat his dinner in a restaurant without interruption. He never made it down a city block without being recognized and given a news tidbit or two… They wanted to talk to my father and he listened to them, folded copy paper and ball-point pen in hand.” ”BenHayes’OneHundredthBirthday,April1,2012”(Sunday,April1, 2012, Columbus Bicentennial).

A Special Franklinton 220th Anniversary Calendar for 2017Leslie Blankenship, Franklinton Historical Society

August 14, 2017 will be the 220th Anniversary of the founding ofFranklinton.Onthatday,itissaid,LucasSullivant(1765-1823)created the plat of his village of Franklinton. In 1797 Franklinton was the northernmost Euro-American settlement in the Virginia MilitaryDistrictoftheOhioTerritory.Tomarktheanniversary,theFranklinton Historical Society has created a special historic edition of our annual calendar for 2017. It is currently at the printer. Look foritinmid-December.(That’sthecoveratthetopofPage8.) Weofferedourveryfirstcalendarin1997aspartofthecommunitybicentennial celebration—“From Bison to Bicentennial.” It featured short snippets about events, people, and places from our past. For twenty years, our Calendar Committee has created an annual calendar, often showcasing photographs of Franklinton borrowed from our members and from people in the community. Important momentsofourhistory,suchasLucasSullivant’sbirthdayortheday General William Henry Harrison declared Franklinton his headquarters during the War of 1812, have been noted in the date blocks.Manythankstoyou,theresidentsandformerresidentsandfriends of Franklinton, for supporting our calendar over the years. For the 220th anniversary calendar, we have once again included short tales from the past for a new generation. We will be including one of these stories and its corresponding image from the calendar in future months of the Franklinton News. Forthefirst time, thecalendarwillsportafull-colorcover inhonor of the anniversary. We have chosen the image of the 1847 Great Seal of Ohio (with its canal boat) for the cover, which is radiant in contrasting red and goldenrod. Why the 1847 Great Seal? There is a Franklinton connection. The next time you visit the Ohio Statehouse, go to the Rotunda and stand in the center of the circular room. Look up and you will see a tiny circle of color in the 29-foot-wide skylight dome way above your head. In that circle is the hand-painted 1847 Great Seal of Ohio, which was in use when the dome was completed in 1861. The Rotunda skylight with the seal was removed in the 1920s, packed away for 70 years, and nearly forgotten. Rediscovered in the 1990s during the Statehouse renovation, the seal was restored and once againenshrinedinthedomein1995.Theartistwhohandpaintedthe 1847 seal given prominence in the Rotunda was David Broderick Walcutt(1825-1885).Hismother,MarielMariaBroderickWalcutt(1800-1845),borninKentucky,grewupinFranklinton. The Brodericks were an early Franklinton pioneer family who migratedherefromthevillageofWashington,Kentucky.Mariel’sfather, David S.

A few years later, David S. Broderick was one of 20 men who came north from Washington to the Ohio Country with Lucas Sullivant, bringing their families to settle in Franklinton.

Their target was the rich mercantile area of the ChesapeakeBay.President JamesMadisonandhisCabinetwerenot alarmeduntil thefleet andarmybegan tomove toward the

capitol on August 18. By August 22, the British were within 16 miles of Washington, and the Americans had no army available for the defense of the capitol.

The Americans were easily overrun and soon the roads back to Washington were clogged with retreating troops. Meanwhile,DolleyMadisonhadbeenpreparingadinnerpartyfor40 guests for that evening, writing a letter to her sister, and anxiously awaiting word from her husband. At 3:00 pm, messengers arrived shouting, “Clear out! Clear out!” She had previously ordered her carriageloadedwithtrunksofvaluablepapersfromherhusband’sCabinet.

In1815,JohnMacyWalcuttcametoOhiowithhisparentsWilliam(1761-1833) andAnnaMacyWalcutt (1757-1815) to claim a landwarrant owed his father for service in the Revolutionary War.

But those of our citizens who saw it or heard of it in its infancy are not aware of its improvements, and do not seem to fully appreciate it.” A sentiment shared, no doubt, by many a modern museum curator.
