The Westland High School drama club will be unveiling their production of “Night of the Living Dead” on Nov. 2 and 3. Here, student 

zombies Dakari McLaughlin and Audriauna Cunningham prepare to devour Wesley Estep, who will be playing the leading 

man, Ben. 

“Night of the Living Dead” at Westland 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

Westland High School teachers John 

Weddendorf and Chris White were overjoyed 

when they realized the drama club’s 

fall play would coincide near Halloween. 

“We thought it would be the perfect 

time to produce a horror show,” said 

White. “We rarely get to do horror productions 

and we knew we had to take this 

opportunity that was presented to us.” 

With not many options available, the 

co-directors turned to a cult classic from 

the 1960s. 

“We chose ‘Night of the Living Dead’ 

because it’s sort of scary, sort of funny, 

kind of campy and wholly entertaining,” 

said White. 

Feeling positive that their students 

would love the idea as much as they did, 

they gathered them around at the start of 

the school year to tell them the good 

news. Their reaction, however, was a little 

horrifying. 

“There were a lot of blank stares,” said 

Weddendorf. 

Since they had a slight inkling that 

some of the teens may not have heard of 

George A. Romero’s film, they played a 

few clips to give them a feel of what was 

in store. 

Still, the level of excitement wasn’t 

what they had thought it could, or should, 

be. 

“I’ll admit to being very skeptical,” said 

senior Phoebe Henricks. “It looked a bit 

cheesy but from a technical aspect I 

thought it would be a good challenge.” 

Since joining the drama club her freshman 

year, Henricks has spent most of her 

time off the stage managing the sounds 

and lights. She said after some further 

contemplation of “Night of the Living 

Dead,” she warmed up to the idea. 

“What I love about it is that it’s in

black and white,” she said. “The script also calls for 

that so we’ve been working really hard to make it look 

as spooky as possible with the lighting effects. I’m really 

proud of what we all have managed to come up with 

so far.” 

Like Henricks, the rest of the students slowly came 

around to the idea, especially the ones who wanted to 

play zombies. Weddendorf said the excitement about 

playing ravenous and slow-moving corpses didn’t come 

as a surprise. 

“I often see them in that zombie-like state,” he said 

dryly. 

Shortly after the announcement was made, they 

had auditions to find their leading humans, Barbara 

and Ben. 

In the film, Barbara is an emotionally traumatized 

young woman who is prone to screaming and crying, 

while Ben is more measured but equally frazzled by 

the situation. Senior Wesley Estep, who will be portraying 

Ben, said he chose not to watch the film beforehand 

for character clues, while Layne Egelhoff, who 

portrays Barbara, said she did. 

“I wanted to get a real feel for it,” she said. “It’s definitely 

a film you have to learn to appreciate.” 

She said she was interested in Barbara because of 

her fragile emotional state, but initially wary of how to 

portray her. 

“I found the screaming aspect to be easy,” she said 

with a laugh. “But it’s hard to go mute and rock back 

and forth all the time. That gets kind of boring.” 

For more than two months, the cast and crew have 

been hard at work, perfecting the set, lighting, dialogue 

and makeup. Some have even went beyond their 

duties and spent hours looking at zombie makeup and 

movement tutorials online. 

“We’ve really gotten into this,” said Dakari 

McLaughlin, a sophomore who is playing a zombie. 

“We’re excited for people to see it,” added 

Audriauna Cunningham, another sophomore zombie. 

Estep said he looks forward to seeing the reaction 

from the audience. 

“I think they’ll be surprised by how good this is,” he 

said. “There are a lot of physical aspects to this play, 

there’s some horror, some humor, a lot of humanity 

and it’s really engaging.” 

Egelhoff echoed his statement and said she hopes 

the community will come out to see their version of 

“Night of the Living Dead.” 

“I know a lot of people, especially some of our peers, 

think the drama club is stupid,” she said. “But we put 

so much energy and heart into what we are doing and 

I would just love if people could come out and see what 

we’ve been working so hard on.” 

The Westland High School Drama Club will present 

George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” on Nov. 

2 and 3. The show time for Nov. 2 is at 7:30 p.m., while 

the show times for Nov. 3 are at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. 

The Nov. 3 matinee will have activities such as zombie 

face painting and crafts. 

Tickets for the shows are $5 for adults and $4 for 

students. The performances will take place in the auditorium 

at the school, located at 146 Galloway Road, 

Galloway.

on exterior home improvements,” said 

Tracy Hatmaker, township administrator. 

“Between the labor and skilled trade this 

organization provides to residents, it 

seems worth it to the township to invest a 

little money as well.” 

Hatmaker said approximately 20 homes 

will be improved in Little Farms in 2019. 

In 2018, the township also invested 

$50,000 for home improvements with the 

organization. The 2019 applications are 

currently being accepted and residents can 

apply at www.rebuildingtogether.org. 

Holiday Events in Prairie Township 

The board discussed upcoming holiday 

events, including the annual Santa’s mailbox, 

Elf on the Shelf contest and Holiday 

Tree Lighting. 

Area children can mail a letter directly 

to Santa this holiday via the Prairie 

Township Community Center’s Santa’s 

Mailbox Program. The event will take 

place from Nov. 26 to Dec. 17. 

“Children will receive a reply from 

Santa directly from the North Pole,” said 

James Gant, director of the Prairie 

Township Community Center. 

To ensure delivery, children must 

include their full name, complete address 

with zip code and postage. 

Also, this year the community center 

will once again be having its annual Elf on 

the Shelf contest. This contest will also 

take place from Nov. 26 through Dec. 17 

and give children the opportunity to enter 

to win a new bicycle. 

“Children will look for the elf dolls at 

local businesses and get signatures from 

the businesses after finding them,” Gant 

said. “Once they find each elf, they can 

turn their sheet in at the community center 

for a chance to win a new bike.” 

Past businesses that have participated 

include the Home Depot, Murray Hill 

Dental, the community center and the 

Westland Library. Businesses that participate 

are asked to donate $20 and the proceeds 

go toward the purchase of bicycles. 

For a complete list of businesses participating 

this year or to learn more about how 

to be a part of the event, visit www.prairietownship.org. 

The Prairie Township Community 

Center will also be hosting the annual 

Holiday Tree Lighting. Taking place from 4 

to 6 p.m. on Dec. 2, the event will feature 

the lighting of the holiday tree, holiday 

music and caroling, visits from Santa and 

ice sculpting demonstrations. 

“There will be crafts and hopefully hot 

coco,” Gant said. “People really seem to 

look forward to this annual tradition of getting 

together as a community and celebrating 

the holidays.”

As speeding and traffic accidents continue 

to be an issue in Franklin Township, 

township officials are taking matters into 

their own hands. At a recent board meeting, 

the Franklin Township Police 

Department announced plans to start 

using handheld laser pointers to catch 

speeders. 

“Officers will be operating these handheld 

laser pointers and it will be a tool to 

moderate traffic and ensure people don’t 

speed,” said Franklin Township Police 

Chief Byron Smith. “It won’t be 24/7, but it 

will be during busy traffic periods when we 

see the most speeding.” 

These handheld laser pointers will be 

stationed around school zones and other 

areas in the township where officials see 

the most speeding and accidents. Some of

An outpatient addiction center is in the 

works for the Westside. 

Cory McConnell, an expansion business 

partner for CleanSlate based in 

Brentwood, Tenn., told the Westland Area 

Commission at its Oct. 17 meeting that a 

medical center is planned for 86 N. Wilson 

Road in the Great Western Shopping 

Center. However, he did not have a target 

opening date. 

The center would be staffed by two 

physicians and a nurse practitioner. They 

would treat people suffering from an addiction 

to alcohol or opioids, such as heroin or 

prescription painkillers. 

Patients are treated with Federal Drug 

Administration-approved medications and 

care coordination, and treatment is covered 

by public and private insurance. 

these locations include Frank Road. 

According to Smith, residents will be 

given civil citations in the form of tickets. 

“As we get the signage up, we will start 

using these handheld lasers,” Smith said. 

“We also are working on getting officers 

trained so we can start using these as soon 

as possible.” 

In other news, South-Western City 

Schools District Superintendent Dr. Bill 

Wise asked the board for support for a bond 

issue that will be on the November ballot. 

The 1.86-mill issue will add no new millage 

on property tax and would help fund construction 

of new buildings for Brookpark, 

Finland, Norton and Pleasant View middle 

schools and improvements to Jackson 

Middle School and the East Franklin 

Elementary School building. 

The trustees fully supported this, saying 

that South-Western City Schools has been 

a great partner to the township. 

“We have received state-of-the-art 

schools and it has cost the taxpayers nothing,” 

Fleshman said. “We have amazing 

buildings our children get to go to school 

in.” 

Wise also discussed the technology 

upgrades they have invested in for the new 

buildings, included geothermal heating 

and LED lighting, saving money on energy 

costs. 

However, some residents had questions 

for Wise, particularly related to students 

who need special assistance. Several residents 

voiced concerns about there not being 

enough of these resources across the district, 

instead of only at certain schools. 

“Students that need more intensive care 

go to special instructors,” Wise said. “We do 

cluster these students together and sometimes 

they have to go to schools not as close 

as their home school. We try our best to 

provide a level of service, but we have 

His announcement of opening such a 

clinic on the Westside brought a cheerleader-like 

response from commission 

member Nancy Day-Achauer who has been 

working toward stemming the use and 

overdoses related to drugs. She raised her 

arms and shouted “Yay!” 

Also addressing the commission was 

Michael Liggett, community relations coordinator 

for the city’s Department of Public 

Service. He addressed plans for snow 

removal. 

He reminded members that the city has 

broken streets into three categories: freeways, 

major arteries and side streets. He 

said freeways get top priority. Major arteries, 

such as West Broad and Sullivant, 

should be cleared within about 10 hours of 

a snow event, and side streets still another 

10 hours or depending on how heavy the 

snowfall. 

Members have been discussing alternative 

meeting locations in addition to their 

normal meeting place on the second floor of 

the Osteopathic Heritage Center at 

Doctors Hospital. They have met at the 

Darby Dan Party House and also at the 

Prairie Township Community Center. No 

decision has been made for moving meetings 

on a regular basis. 

November’s regular 

meeting date 

falls the night 

before Thanksgiving 

and members preferred 

meeting the 

week after the holiday 

on Wednesday, 

Nov. 28, at 7 p.m., at 

the Doctors Hospital 

location. The public 

is always welcome 

at the open meetings.

In Education 


Program helps students prepare for college in SWCS 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

When you are in high school, the 

prospect of college can seem daunting. 

There are applications to fill out, financial 

aid opportunities to seek, entrance exams 

to take and the back-of-the-mind thought of 

having to make decisions that could impact 

the rest of your life. 

“It can be overwhelming for even the 

most prepared student,” said Dave 

Stewart, deputy superintendent of the 

South-Western City Schools District. 

In order to try to lessen their tide of anxiety, 

the district announced a partnership 

with a local non-profit whose mission is to 

make the entire transition easier on students. 

At the Oct. 22 board of education meeting, 

representatives with I Know I Can 

spoke about the program and their plan to 

implement college and career readiness at 

the high school level. 

community events 

“e Hobbit” at CCHS 

Students in the drama club at Central Crossing High School 

will perform “The Hobbit.” Show times are at 7 p.m. Nov. 2, 2 p.m. 

and 7 p.m. Nov. 3, and 2 p.m. Nov. 4. The school is located at 4500 

Big Run South Road in Grove City. Tickets can be purchased at 

www.locallevelevents.com. 

According to executive director Katina 

Fullen, there will be a two-team staff at 

each high school, one to serve freshmen 

and sophomores, and the other to serve 

juniors and seniors. The personnel serving 

the freshmen and sophomores are called 

“success coaches,” and their job is to motivate 

students and get them excited about 

higher education. 

“The ultimate goal is to make sure they 

are on track for the next grade,” Fullen 

said. 

The personnel serving the juniors and 

seniors are called “college advising managers,” 

and their job is to prepare students 

on filling out applications, seeking scholarships, 

studying for examinations and continuing 

to motivate them for the next step. 

Throughout this process, the I Know I 

Can staff will also work with educators and 

counselors regarding test scores, grade 

point averages, and personal goals of the 

students. 

During the presentation, board member 

Mindy Garverick asked Fullen if this program 

was available to every student. 

She replied that it was. 

“They will need to work hard to avoid 

us,” she joked 

While the pilot program — which is being 

funded through grants by Columbus State 

Community College and the Franklin 

County Department of Job and Family 

Services — kicked off earlier this year, there 

are already two I Know I Can employees at 

Franklin Heights and Westland High 

Schools. There is one employee at Central 

Crossing and one at Grove City High 

School. Stewart said come January, one 

additional employee will be added at each 

of the latter two schools. 

Stewart said though this program is in 

its infancy, an impact is already being felt. 

“This summer they held a boot camp for 

ACT preparation,” he explained. “There 

were over 130 students who participated, 

which is phenomenal.” 

Another positive result of the program, 

he said, was the recent college application 

day at Westland where hundreds of students 

filled out applications for college and 

completed their FAFSA forms. 

“I think this program will truly be outstanding 

for our district.” 

He said it was important for the district 

to become involved in this partnership 

because of their mutual goals in breaking 

barriers for students. 

“As I said before, the prospect and 

preparation for college can be overwhelming,” 

Stewart said. “By implementing these 

services and working together, I think it 

will go a long way in breaking down barriers 

and lessening the fears that many of 

these students have.” 

The I Know I Can program was established 

in 1988 and has been active in the 

Columbus City Schools district throughout 

that time. Recently, the program has 

expanded due to grant funding and is now 

at SWCS and at Whitehall.

Community Focus 

Clearing bowls for a good cause 

By Sandi Latimer 

Staff Writer 

Residents in need of food are often 

dependent upon the food pantries. They 

are also dependent upon the generosity of 

Franklin County residents. 

In addition to direct donations of money 

and non-perishable food, often through 

food drives at businesses, the popular 

Empty Bowls project helps considerably. 

“In the past 20 years, Empty Bowls has 

raised $257,000 to benefit the Mid-Ohio 

Foodbank,” said Marilyn Tomasi, a spokeswoman 

for the Foodbank. 

It is the Mid-Ohio Foodbank that provides 

food to the numerous food pantries in 

the county and also provides space for the 

Kroger Community Food Bank to operate 

out of its Grove City headquarters. 

Empty Bowls, a project of the Columbus 

Recreation and Parks, has raised thousands 

of dollars. In 2016, it raised $20,403 

and in 2017 by extending the project to 

Winterfest the first weekend in December, 

it produced $31,210. 

Every dollar donated can provide four 

meals, Tomasi said. 

People who participate in the monthlong 

program can enjoy a bowl of soup, or 

two or three, often homemade, for $10, and 

have the opportunity to go home with a 

hand-made ceramic bowl made at a recreation 

and parks site. For Tomasi, and 

many others, the bowls make their way to 

holiday gifts. 

The Empty Bowls schedule as provided 

by Columbus Recreation and Parks: 

• Nov. 1 to Nov. 3 - Gillie Community 

Center, 2100 Morse Road, from 11 a.m. to 

1 p.m. each day

knows you, he is 

playful and sweet. 

Until then, he is 

unsure, scared and 

hides. Because of his 

fearfulness, he would do best in a quiet home 

with another dog to play with. Hootie is about 

2 years old. He is up for adoption through 



Hoagie is a playful, 

wiggly pooch. He’s a 

happy and outgoing 

pup who will be so 

excited to be at your 

side. He loves being 

around people and 

will always look to you 

for love and attention. 

He’s a big goofy 

puppy who does well with other dogs. Adopt 

Hoagie from the county dog shelter.

Metro Parks on the ballot 

By Lori Smith 

Staff Writer 

Creating additional parks, trails and 

nature programs for central Ohio is the 

goal of Columbus and Franklin County 

Metro Parks’ levy, which voters will see on 

the Nov. 6 ballot. 

The 10-year, 0.95-mill levy is proposed 

to replace the current 10-year, 0.75 mill 

levy expiring at the end of the next year, 

explained Metro Parks Executive Director 

Tim Moloney. If approved by voters, the 

tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 

home in Franklin County $33.25 a year 

starting in 2020, an increase of $12.82 per 

year for the same homeowners. 

Moloney said the levy would increase 

annual revenue for Metro Parks from $22.6 

million to $28.6 million, which is designed 

around anticipated growth and development 

in central Ohio. 

Since the last levy was approved, 

Moloney said, the Metro Parks system not 

only met all of its goals, but they exceeded 

them. They promised three new parks, and 

opened four: Walnut Woods, more than 

1,000 acres in the Groveport area with 

woodlands and fields, restored wetlands 

and vernal pools; Rocky Fork, a 1,000 acre 

park in New Albany featuring more than 

three miles of walking trails, a bridle trail, 

dog park, a play area for picnics, and a 

large shelter; Scioto Grove, a 620-acre park 

Two years ago, an attorney and Army 

Reservist took the oath of office to represent the 

majority of the West and South sides in the 

Statehouse. While he got the most votes, we had 

seen this before. 

But, Adam Miller has exceeded our expectations 

and deserves to continue to represent the 

17th District. Make no mistake, passing bills is 

not something the legislature has done well this 

scandal ridden General Assembly. And while 

Miller has a list of bills to help deal with the opioid 

crisis, clean up our streets, and increase economic 

development, they may have to wait until 

next year. 

A great legislature is more than just passing 

bills, and this is where Adam Miller has been a 

breath of fresh air. He lives in the district and 

along the Scioto River in Grove City with 

trails, picnic areas with shelters, a kids 

play area, and overlook decks; and 

Homestead, a 44-acre park in Hilliard with 

a quiet, country atmosphere with a covered 

bridge, train station replica and two barns, 

as well as shelters, a fishing pond, play 

equipment, courts for sand volleyball and 

basketball, and a paved trail. 

“Each of these parks is well into the 

hundreds of thousands of visitors each 

year,” Maloney explained. 

With funding from the new levy, 

Moloney continued, Metro Parks plans on 

adding at least three more parks to accommodate 

growth in central Ohio. 

Quarry Trails in Hilliard is already in 

the planning and design stage and will be 

the 20th Metro Park, he explained. 

“With the opening of Quarry Trails we 

will have a park within five miles of every 

doorstep in Franklin County,” Moloney 

said, noting this has been a goal of Metro 

Parks for some time. 

Metro Parks is also looking at the 

Northeast side as a possible location for 

another park, connecting Rocky Fork to 

other already owned parcels such as 

Blendon Woods and Innis Woods, Moloney 

explained. They do not have a definite plan 

for the third location yet, but are looking at 

undeveloped parcels of land in anticipation 

of future development. 

These are not endorsements 

The Messenger newspapers would like to 

clarify that the candidates and issues featured 

in this advertising section are published 

as paid political advertisements. These are 

NOT endorsements for the candidates and 

issues; the Columbus Messenger Company 

does not do any political endorsements. 

PAID ADVERTISING 

Re-elect Adam Miller to 

represent the 17th District 

spends time throughout the area doing what a lot 

of politicians do not do; and that is listen. 

Our area has real problems, and they will not 

be solved overnight. Washington and Ohio’s 

General Assembly are more often more concerned 

with their own wins and losses than what 

is best for the people they represent. 

As Miller recently said, “we need to focus on 

issues that affect everyone; rather than spending 

time on partisan issues that only divide us and 

keep our focus away from jobs, safer streets, and 

the opioid crisis.” 

Miller is not perfect, but he may be just what 

we need at the Statehouse. He deserves two more 

years.

To commemorate the 40 years since the 

horror classic “Halloween” first came to the 

theaters, writers for the latest installment 

in the franchise decided to go back in time 

and revisit history. No longer are heroine 

and villain related. No more are her children. 

Ignored are attempts to put shattered 

lives back together, and erased are 

their on-screen deaths. 

Whether you are upset by these changes 

depends on how invested you are in the 

mythos of “Halloween.” Personally, while I 

enjoyed nearly all of the previous films I 

was not angered by their decisions. This 

was due in large part to the strength of the 

overall product and the fact that I always 

thought the siblings aspect was a little 

lame. 

In this film, also titled “Halloween,” 

Michael Myers (Nick Castle reprising his 

role with an assist from James Jude 

Courtney) has been locked away in a maximum 

security mental facility since his 

apprehension in 1978 and under the care of 

both Dr. Samuel Loomis and protégé Dr. 

Ranbir Surtain (Haluk Bilginer). Since the 

death of his mentor, Dr. Surtain has tried a 

variety of new methods to understand the 

silent killer while always holding him in 

higher esteem. (Unlike Dr. Loomis, Dr.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!! 

Surtain does not believe he is completely 

evil.) 

It is days away from Michael’s transfer 

to a maximum security prison and Dr. 

Surtain has allowed two true-crime podcasters 

to meet with his star patient. 

Inexplicably, one of the journalists whips 

out the mask used during his killing spree 

and brandishes it about like it’s a winning 

lottery ticket. 

Thinking their actions had no effect, the 

podcasters then try to find sole survivor 

Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) for their 

sure-to-be-non-award-winning-story. When 

they do locate her, she is still residing in 

Haddonfield but has created a forest 

fortress of a home. While hesitant to be 

interviewed, she allows them a few minutes 

of her time but swiftly kicks them out 

when they bring up her failed marriages, 

the forcible removal of her young daughter 

from her care and her current mental state. 

Meanwhile, said daughter Karen (Judy 

Greer) is now a grown woman raising a 

teenage daughter of her own. Though she 

tries her hardest to keep grandma away, 

Allyson (newcomer Andi Matichak) is far 

more forgiving of Laurie’s behavior and 

keeps inviting her to family events, much 

to her mother’s dismay. 

As the Strode family drama plays out, 

the sanitarium is on high alert in preparation 

of Michael’s departure. At first, it goes 


In Entertainment 

“Halloween” more than another slasher movie 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra Cordle 

off without a hitch but naturally something 

bad happens and his evil is once again 

unleashed onto the unsuspecting masses. 

There is, however, one person who has 

spent the past four decades thinking and 

preparing for this moment. And once again, 

it is up to a traumatized but now heavily 

fortified Laurie Strode to save the day. 

The strength of this film does not lay on 

the feet of the writing by David Gordon 

Green or Danny McBride or on their decision 

to alter the mythos; in fact, there is 

much to be desired with the plot and dialogue. 

Instead, what makes this film an 

overall strong product is the presence of 

the three leading women. Filling in as the 

“new Laurie”, Matichak does admirably as 

the skeptical but compassionate teen; 

Greer is terrific as the hesitant and angry 

mother and daughter, and Curtis is at the 

top of her game as the tormented heroine. 

This trio, which deftly showcases generational 

trauma, lifts this film beyond the 

traditional slasher and makes it an engaging 

movie to watch despite some pacing 

and plotting flaws. Grade: B-
