Highland West Community Garden Statue STOLEN!!
The carved wooden statue entitled "The Flame", an original sculpture done by local artist, Greg Butauski, was stolen from the Highland West Community Garden at 29 N. Wheatland Avenue, over the past week. The art piece was commissioned by a Columbus 200 Grant last summer and specifically carved for the Highland West Community Garden ... no other copies of the statue exist. The perpetrators neatly removed the statue from its base and left no damage, making it obviously a planned heist - even to the point of bringing the tools for a clean removal. The matter, along with potential suspects, have been turned over to the Columbus Police Department for further investigation. We ask anyone that has any knowledge…

SOS is lowering their spay and neutering to $10 a cat for 43204 area.
Right now SOS is only charging $10 a cat to get spayed and neutered in the 43204 area. If someone would like to help with the catch and release program soon as the weather changes let me know. I dont know how long the $10 price will last. Also, a lady for pet promise is willing to cover the $10 fee for feral cats. All cats done by pet promise will have a clipped ear. If there are any friendly ones, maybe there might be a rescue group willing to help re home some. Will have to look into that. Hopefully we can help the cats and help our neighborhood too. Many people decide to move away and leave their dog or cat behind here and there is also Holton park. People are always dropping some animal off there. Franklin county dog pound will take your pet in for $10, I believe. If its deemed re homable they will try to adopt it out. Problem is there is not to many places who takes in cats, so people just drop them off. Humane Society is the only place that steadily take in cats…

Icy Side Streets
As you may have experienced, our side roads are very dangerous to drive on since the last snow fall. The city did a bang up job on the bus traveled roads, but I have not seen any salt dropped on the side streets here. I called 311 and stated the hazardous road conditions at 3pm on Friday 1/4 left my name and the call taker asked if I was part of the HWNA. Naturally I said yes....I was totally surprised when I got up this morning they had salted the roads from my street East to N Oakley as far as I know, they may have done more but I did not go past those streets. The POWER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION I guess... Just thought I would share

The Tradition Continues!!!
The snow has arrived and so have the kids at Glenwood Park at the eastern edge of Highland West, one of the neighborhoods long standing traditions, having been handed down from generation to generation. With little snow over the past few years causing major disappointments in the minds of many who live for this, this year is sure not to disappoint!
Even the famed "ball buster" is up and running, the former stairway to the bottom of the park providing not…

Channel 6 - New Building
Dear Friends,
As much as we wish we could stay at Holton Rec Center, last night at the Columbus Board of Education meeting, our offer to buy the Wayne Ave. School was accepted - that's great!
Channel 6 is coming to Holton to do a segment on Run The Race. They are coming this afternoon at 2:00. If you are interested in talking to them about Recs and Park making drastic changes without anyone in the neighborhood being asked, giving opinions, etc. please feel free to come to the Center and speak to the reporter.

Cart placement
The recycling cart should be set out for collection in the same location as trash is collected. So, if a household's trash is collected in the alley, the blue recycling cart should be placed in the same location used for collection of the green 90 or 300-gallon trash container on the designated recycling collection day. If a household's trash is collected at the curbside in front of the home, the blue recycling cart should be placed at the curbside.
