Grove City to form 

financial task force 

By Andrea Cordle 

Southwest Editor 

City leaders are looking for a few financial-minded 

community members for a 

newly-formed committee. 

At the March 18 meeting, Grove City 

Council unanimously approved legislation 

to establish the Grove City Citizen 

Financial Review Task Force. 

According to the legislation, the city’s 

goal is to continue operating in a fiscally 

responsible manner while addressing operating 

expenses, existing infrastructure and

The Central Crossing and Grove City High School theatre departments will be performing their spring musicals of “Catch Me If 

You Can” and “Bye Bye Birdie,” respectively, during the latter portion of the week of April 1. Here, Grove City students (from left 

to right) Leah Joseph, Jared Ellis, Courtney Mix, Shelby Brown, Samuel Nickoloff and Kelsey Heacock model some of the outfits 

that will be featured in the popular musical from the 1960s. 

Music is in the air 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

A group of drama students stood on 

the stage of the auditorium at Central 

Crossing High School on March 16, panting 

and sweating after performing another 

round of high kicks and flicks that will 

be featured in their upcoming musical. As 

senior Gene Clark noted from a few feet 

away, there was not enough enthusiasm 

on display. 

“You look either bored or tired,” he 

said. “We’re dancing in a group and that 

is always exciting so I don’t think it is 

boredom. Are you just tired?” 

“Yes, we’re tired, or at least I am,” 

replied one of the exhausted members of 

the dance line. “It’s early and we’ve been 

at this for hours and that is not counting 

the months of rehearsals.” 

“I understand but we’re in theatre,” 

said Clark. “We’re always tired in theatre 

but we’re not allowed to show it. So let’s 

take a quick break and then get back to 

it.” 

A day later, a group of drama students 

sat on the stage of the auditorium at 

Grove City High School going over line 

after line of dialogue and lyrics at the 

first sitzprobe for their upcoming musical. 

Most of these students had spent the 

previous day at vocal competitions yet 

spoke and sang their best and fullest as 

the orchestra learned their placements in 

the production. 

“There’s a lot of hard work that goes 

into these plays and musicals,” said 

senior Kelsey Heacock, “but we do it 

because we love what we do. We just hope 

the community will love it just as much.” 

Since the beginning of January — just 

a few weeks after putting on their fall 

productions — these two clubs have been 

rehearsing for their respective spring 

musicals, both of which will be taking the 

audience on a trip to the past. 

“It’s got a nice, 1950s vibe to it,” said 

Heacock, referring to her school’s production 

of “Bye Bye Birdie.” 

“Ours is a cool 1960s,” said Clark, 

referring to his school’s production of 

“Catch Me If You Can.” 

Though the two musicals vary in 

theme — one is a multi-point-of-view tale 

of a famed musician who is drafted into

Sweet Apple, Ohio, while the other is a cat and slicker

entertainment for the public, said the club advisers. 

“I think what the community will like most about 

this musical is our cast of kids,” said Stefanie 

McConnell, an English and acting teacher at Grove 

City. “They are so talented and have so much heart. 

“I also think the older generations will like this play 

because it will bring back that sense of nostalgia and 

the younger generations will appreciate the different 

takes of this era and our slightly modernized spin to it. 

For those who are not familiar with “Bye Bye Birdie,” 

I think they’ll just have a fun musical experience.” 

Nathan Weaver, an English and acting teacher at 

Central Crossing, said the community will find joy in 

the display of passion from these students as well as 

the contents within the musical. 

“It’s a funny story about a teenager and it’s a good 

redemption story as well,” he said. “When the story

TASK FORCE 

Continued from page 1 

capital improvement needs. Council and 

the city’s administration made it a priority 

to form this task force this year. 

“From goal setting to the budget 

process, we want to get ahead of financial 

discussions in the city,” said councilwoman 

and finance chair Christine Houk. “With 

this task force, we can accomplish our 

financial goals while staying on sound footing.” 

Houk said the citizen financial task 

force would be charged with a high-level 

service and analysis of revenue options, 

capital needs and expenditure review. 

“What is the community looking for in 

capital improvement projects?” asked 

Houk. 

The committee will consist of 15 members 

selected by council and the mayor with 

around the southwest 

277-3050 or visit GroveCityOhio.gov. 

Adult softball 

Men’s, women’s and co-rec, slow-pitch 

softball leagues are available for springsummer 

competitive and recreational levels. 

All leagues play a 10-game season at 

Fryer Park, 3899 Orders Road, with men’s 

leagues available Tuesday through Friday, 

co-rec leagues Fridays or Sundays, a 

women’s league Mondays and a men’s 

Houk serving as an ex officio member. In 

addition to reviewing the city’s operating 

expenditures, capital improvement budgets 

and suggesting cost saving strategies, 

the task force would assess the long-term 

revenue picture through methods such as 

adjusting user fees, increasing the income 

tax rate, reducing the income tax credit, 

and increasing property tax. Members 

would also prioritize short-term and longterm 

capital needs while identifying funding 

sources for the city. 

“This allows the city to have a global 

view to make sure we are set up for longterm 

projects,” said Grove City Mayor 

Richard “Ike” Stage. 

The financial review task force will have 

meetings that are open to the public. After 

six months of meetings and work, the task 

church league Thursdays. League fees are 

$360 per team and due in full by the managers’ 

meeting April 11 at the Kingston 

Center. League play begins April 22. 

Returning teams receive priority for 

league placement. For returning teams, the 

full league payment is due at the time of 

application. New teams are added to 

leagues as space permits based on when 

the application is submitted. 

force members would submit its report to 

council and city staff. 

The city is now accepting resumés for 

the citizen financial review task force. 

Those interested should mail their resumé 

to Tami Kelly, clerk of council, 4035 

Broadway, Grove City, Ohio, 43123 or 

email tkelly@grovecityohio.gov. 

In other news, council voted in favor of a 

resolution to encourage state lawmakers to 

support the 18-cent gas tax hike proposed 

by Governor Mike DeWine. 

According to city documents, Grove City 

is estimated to receive $1.4 million in fiscal 

year 2020 from the state under the present 

Ohio Motor Fuel Tax of 28 cents per gallon. 

If DeWine’s proposed 18 cents per gallon 

increase becomes law, the city would 

receive approximately $2.3 million. 


Adult cornhole 

The adult cornhole league plays a sixweek 

season at Plum Run Winery/Grove 

City Brewing Company, 3946 Broadway. 

Each team has two players and plays a 

minimum of two games each night. The 

league plays Thursday nights starting 

April 11; matches start at 6:15 p.m. The 

cost is $50 per team. 

“This would allow us to increase the revenue 

in our street repair program by 

approximately $1 million a year,” said 

councilman Roby Schottke. “We need to 

improve roads. We need good-quality 

roads.” 

The increase in the gas tax would also 

help the city balance the loss of the estate 

tax revenue and the reduction in state local 

government funding. 

According to Schottke, the city averages 

about $2.5 million for costs in street maintenance 

per year but needs approximately 

$3.6 million to maintain local roads. 

State representatives have suggested a 

gas tax increase of 10.7 cents per gallon 

instead of 18 cents.

Fraud is a massive problem for older 

Americans. 

A report recently released by the U.S. 

Senate Special Committee on Aging estimates 

they lose an incredible $2.9 billion a 

year to financial exploitation schemes and 

scams. Seniors are targeted by foreign and 

domestic criminals who want to rob them 

of their hard-earned retirement savings. 

They are being exploited by strangers over 

the phone, through the mail, and online. 

Unfortunately, the committee notes, far too 

many seniors are targeted by family members 

or by other people they trust. 

Older adults are most vulnerable to 

fraud within three years of suffering a life 

altering event such as loss of a loved one, 

illness or while facing an imminent foreclosure. 

Scammers scour various sources 

gathering this information and approach 

the victim offering comfort and solutions to 

their problems. 

Beware of phishing emails used to collect 

usernames, passwords, Social Security 

numbers, and other personal information. 

No legitimate organization will ever ask for

Are You Considering Moving To A Smaller Home? 

Are you considering moving to a smaller home or maybe one that is more “senior friendly”? 

Have the hardships of Ohio winters made you vow to never shovel another snowy 

sidewalk? Studies have shown that more than 85% of adults over 65 would like to stay in 

their home as they age. What you have to examine carefully is whether the decision to stay 

put is practical and feasible. 

To Move or Not to Move 

Deciding to stay at home or move to a more supportive environment can be a difficult and 

emotional decision. Older adults who relocate usually do so as a result of retirement, the 

loss of a spouse or health changes. 

If you are a homeowner and are considering moving, here are some points to consider: 

• Does your house need major work in the next few years (a new roof, windows or doors, 

furnace, exterior updating)? 

• Will the layout accommodate you as you get older? Are there too many stairs and no 

main-floor bathroom? 

• Does the community lack the resources you need, such as adequate health care, 

shopping and public transit? Accessible public transportation is vital to independent 

living. Could you stay in your current home if you or your spouse could no longer drive? 

• Is there smaller, less expensive but suitable housing in your neighborhood, so you can 

remain near friends and relatives? 

“Ask yourself many questions about the physical practicality of the house and of your plans 

to stay in it,” says Toronto author P.J. Wade in Have Your Home and Money Too (John Wiley 

& Sons, 1999). 

“As you age, so does the house. Will it age well? What do you really love about living there? 

Make a list of your needs and desires. Could you satisfy those needs and desires and 

perhaps others as well with other housing?” 

Assess the cost of major repairs and modernizations that may become necessary over the 

next 10 years. These upgrades – and any resulting increases in property taxes – must be 

factored into your budget when you’re deciding whether to stay or move. 

“As we age, services become more important,” Wade goes on to say. “Assess your chosen 

community and the variety of services it has to offer when you are analyzing whether to age 

in place.” 

Making Due with Less 

It isn’t always feasible to move a lifetime of memories with you. With proper planning, you 

can be sure to select the most meaningful items and eliminate the rest. If you haven't used 

something in a year or two decide if you really need it. It may be more difficult to part with 

collectibles, so concentrate on paperwork. Consult your tax adviser to see how long you 

must keep tax records and receipts and toss everything else. If you continue to store your 

children’s belongings years after they have moved out, ask them to help you pare these 

down to a few precious items. 

Tips for purging the excess: 

• Hold a garage sale to get rid of extra belongs and earn cash to help may finance your 

move. 

• Consider working with a consignment shop to sell gently used items. 

• Donate items to family, friends and charity --- particularly nontraditional charities that 

service fire victims, immigrants or the homeless. 

• Consider holding an auction to sell furniture or large items of value. 

Explore all Your Options 

Many options are available if the escalating cost of homeownership is a primary reason for 

your move. 

• Inquire about government programs that may help relieve the financial burden. In 

Franklin County property tax payment plans allow older and low-income homeowners to 

establish payment arrangements that fit their budgets and possibly leave more income 

for daily living. Call the Franklin County Treasurer’s office at (614) 525-3438 for more 

information. 

• You may qualify for home renovation grants or loans to help with needed repairs. For 

more information call the City of Columbus at (614) 645-8526 or your city’s development 

department. 

• Using the equity in your home to make needed repairs or modifications might also be an 

option. Check with you current mortgage lender or the Better Business Bureau for tips 

on selecting these services. 

Moving a houseful of memories can be overwhelming, but careful planning can offset much 

of the stress. Seek advice from other seniors who have recently moved. View this as 

another adventure to add to your impressive list of lifetime achievements.

A speed capturing sign will soon be posted 

in the village of Urbancrest. 

At the March 12 meeting, council 

approved the purchase of one speed capturing 

sign with an accompanying data collection 

feature at a cost of $4,570. The measure, 

which had its first reading last 

month, was passed via an emergency declaration 

due to a potential cost expiration 

issue. 

“The quote we were given (for the sign) 

was valid only for 60 days, not 90,” said 

councilwoman Alicia Wiggins before moving 

that the measure be passed via emergency. 

She explained that another month’s 

delay could cause the village to re-enter 

negotiations for the cost, or cause them to 

pay more altogether. 

Councilwoman Deborah Larkins- 

Jackson said she had no issue with the 

emergency declaration and felt that it was 

time council move forward with the purchase 

of a speed capturing sign. 

“We’ve been working on this issue for 

more than a year,” she said. “I think it’s 

time to get it approved.” 

Pick-Up & 

Delivery 

During the initial discussion to add the 

emergency declaration to the second reading, 

councilman Steven Larkins wondered 

whether they should lease the equipment 

rather than purchase it outright. 

“Should we lease the machine to see how 

it works out?” he asked. 

Wiggins said that members of the health 

and safety committee have researched the 

pros and cons of leasing versus purchasing 

and came to the conclusion that this specific 

sign is the best option. 

“The other machines were not as robust 

as this one,” she said. 

She added that with this speed capturing 

sign, the village would be able to see 

and collect data, such as the number of 

vehicles that travel on the road, the average 

speeds they go, and which times are 

the most heavily travelled. 

Wiggins said with the data in hand, they 

would be able to pass along the information 

to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to 

enforce speeding laws or even make future 

plans for more road safety measures. 

With that in mind, Larkins asked 

whether they should lease or purchase a 

second speed capturing sign to be posted on 

other heavily travelled roads. 

Wiggins said one of the best things 

about this sign, which is slated to be

Village council approves speed sign 

installed on First Avenue when it arrives 

within the next 6 to 8 weeks, was that it 

can be moved throughout the village. 

“We’ll be able to collect data on all of our 

roads with this sign,” she said. 

Also during this discussion, Mayor 

Joseph Barnes Sr. brought up a potential 

wording issue in the legislation that said 

members of the health and safety committee 

and the street department shall have 

access to the data provided by Radarsign, 

LLC. He mentioned he had no issue with 

that aspect but wanted it to be made clear 

that anyone who works for the village 

should have access to the traffic data collected. 

Wiggins said that access will not be prohibited 

to the code enforcement officer or 

the administration. 

“We’re not trying to hide or horde the 

data,” she said. 

She added that the details will be 

worked out when the company adds the village 

onto their site. 

After the discussion, the village officially 

moved to purchase the one speed capturing 

sign. Wiggins said it will be installed on 

First Avenue upon arrival, then relocated 

to Central Avenue, Augustus Drive and 

Main Street throughout the year.



Crafting an effective cover letter 

A strong cover letter may not 

guarantee you land a good job, 

but a poor cover letter may guarantee 

you won't. On its own, an 

effective cover letter can catch 

the eye of hiring managers 

tasked with finding worthy candidates 

among stacks of applications, 

while a poor cover letter 

may ensure hiring managers 

never even glance at an applicant's 

resume.An effective cover 

letter should be concise, conveying 

an applicant's work history 

and goals in a few paragraphs or 

less. 

The following are some additional 

ways men and women can 

craft effective cover letters: 

• Address a specific person when 

possible. 

• State your purpose early on. 

• Explain why you are a qualified 

candidate. 

• Exhibit some knowledge about 

the company to which you're applying. 

• Be cordial in your closing 

An effective cover letter can go a 

long way toward making a 

strong first impression on a 

prospective employer. Men and 

women should look at their cover 

letters as their first opportunities 

to connect with a company 

and write their letters accordingly.

Make sure your resume doesn't cost you a job 

Many a night's sleep has been lost worrying 

about an upcoming job interview. Questions 

like "Will I make a good impression?" or "Am I 

qualified for the job?" can make for a restless 

night's sleep on the eve before a job interview. 

Writing a resume is another aspect of the job 

hunt that can stoke your nerves. Men and 

women may pour over job timelines and skill 

summaries for hours in an effort to ensure they 

have included the right mix of information to 

get noticed. 

Though resume writing has changed considerably 

over the years, some conventional wisdom 

about resumes still prevails, and how closely 

potential applicants adhere to these rules goes 

a long way toward determining if they earn a 

chance at an interview. 

* Me, myself and I: While the resume should 

showcase your professional accomplishments, 

it also should showcase how your skills relate 

to the job you're applying for. This way the 

company understands you have researched the 

position and are in tune with what they're looking 

for in an applicant. 

* One document for all responses: A resume is 

not a static document. It needs to change depending 

on the job you're applying to. Although 

there will be certain information that can remain 

the same, update the skills and other information 

based on each position. 

* One page is best: Applicants were long told to 

keep their resumes concise, limiting the document 

to just one page. However, if your experience 

is extensive or one page cannot contain a 

long job history, don't be afraid to submit a twopage 

resume. 

* Failing to be selective: You need not include 

your entire job history on a resume, especially 

if certain past positions you have held are completely 

irrelevant to the position for which you 

are applying. Don't be afraid of job gaps, either. 

Many of today's recruiters understand that the 

changing economy can make it challenging to 

maintain steady employment. 

* Overembellishment: Do not embellish your 

skills. Always be open and honest on your resume. 

You may be asked to prove you can perform 

certain tasks, and if you cannot back up 

what is included on a resume, you will have 

wasted your time and the time the interviewer 

spent discussing his company's opening with 

you. 

* Imperfections: A resume is a reflection of you, 

so one with typographical errors or a poor layout 

is never acceptable. Ensure your resume is 

as professional and error-free as possible. Have 

a friend or a proofreader look it over before distributing. 

* Paid positions: Internships or volunteer work 

are perfectly acceptable to include on a resume, 

particularly for younger applicants who may 

not have a wealth of professional experience. 

Include a mix of information on the resume 

that will reflect your versatility.

Update your skills in a secure job industry 

The last several years have seen a 

series of economic ups and downs. 

Managing careers amid such instability 

has been challenging for 

many individuals, but professionals 

looking for more security can take 

steps to find careers that promise 

more long-term stability. 

Focusing a job search on industries 

that have shown strong growth and 

the ability to ride out waves of economic 

turmoil can tip the odds in 

your favor. Certain industries have 

better long-term employment outlooks 

than others, and men and 

women looking for more stability 

should consider these industries 

when pondering their next career 

moves. 

Accounting 

Thanks to ever-changing financial 

policies and greater scrutiny placed 

on lending practices and bookkeeping, 

accounting jobs remain solid career 

choices. Jobs in accounting can 

range from entry-level to more advanced 

(and more lucrative) positions 

requiring certification or a 

secondary education. 

Medicine 

Financial health does not safeguard 

people against 

illness, and health services are 

needed regardless of the state of the 

economy. That makes medical careers 

some of the most coveted and 

stable around. Healthcare professions 

can be lucrative, and careers 

in medicine are not restricted to 

doctors or nurses. Clinicians, medical 

imaging personnel and medical 

laboratory technicians also are 

needed. The United States Department 

of Labor lists services for the 

elderly and persons with disabilities, 

home healthcare services and 

other health practitioner positions 

among the fastest-growing career 

opportunities.

NOW HIRING 

This is a Full-time seasonal position 

(Spring, Summer, Fall) - with the potential to

This position requires that the employee must 

successfully complete criminal history information 

background check and drug screening and be able to 

obtain and maintain a government security clearance. 

The transition from college 

student or stay-at-home mom 

to full-time professional requires 

a number of changes. 

Those changes include updating 

your wardrobe to give it a 

more professional feel. Clothing 

that's acceptable for a 

jaunt to the store or a night 

out may not be appropriate 

for the office. 

Just what constitutes a professional 

wardrobe has 

changed over the years, and 

the guidelines for such attire 

are no longer as firm as they 

once were. But it still behooves 

a woman to add some 

classic, professional pieces to 

her closet. While skirts and 

pantyhose may no longer be 

mandatory, dressing conservatively 

and cleanly in an office 

environment is always a 

safe bet. 

In order to achieve a 

wardrobe transformation 

without breaking the bank,

to build around a base

EXPLOSION!!

Your Partner at Work 

your figure and make it a 

workplace staple. Then purchase 

coordinating pants, 

sweater sets, shirts, another 

skirt, and accessories that 

can be mixed and matched 

with elements from the suit 

to create different looks. If 

your budget allows, purchase 

another suit in a different 

color so you can continue to 

build wardrobe possibilities. 

When selecting base pieces, 

opt for neutral colors of tan, 

gray, black, and blue so that 

these items can be worn repeatedly 

without being noticed. 

Accessories and blouses 

can offer pops of color when 

necessary. A nice handbag or 

pair of shoes can quite easily 

add color to an otherwise 

monotone ensemble. 

When selecting items from 

the rack, look for those that 

fit well but aren't too constrictive 

or racy. Inquire with 

your new employer's hiring 

manager or human resources 

department to find out if the 

workplace has any restrictions 

on wardrobe. There 

may be employee guidelines, 

particularly in certain industries, 

such as law or education. 

If no such restrictions 

are in place, keep skirts to 

knee-length and avoid particularly 

low-cut tops. Save 

more revealing items for 

nights out with friends. 

Many employers have 

adopted dress-down days as 

perks for their employees. Although 

you may be invited to 

dress more casually, avoid 

dressing for a day at the 

beach or hanging around the 

house. Opt for trouser-style 

jeans that are free of rips and 

embellishments. If athletic 

shoes are allowed, make sure 

they are clean and not the 

pair you wear while tending 

to your garden. Avoid graphic 

T-shirts that feature potentially 

offensive or suggestive 

messages. In more conservative 

companies, dressing 

down may be opting for 

khakis instead of suits. It is 

important to know the 

difference.

Special Skills 

Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle 

To cap off the end to another successful season on the hardwood, the Special 

Olympics basketball coaches in the South-Western City Schools District held the first 

skills competition on March 6. For more than an hour, the athletes who played on the 

Special Olympics basketball squads at Central Crossing, Franklin Heights and Grove 

City High School showcased their talents at specialized events such as the Spot Shot, 

Speed Dribble, 3-Point Shot and Target Pass. Erin Henschen, one of the coaches at 

Franklin Heights, said judging from the reaction of the athletes and their fans, they 

hope to make this skills competition an annual event. Here Comets player Noah 

Williams receives a medal at the end of the competition from coach Christa Russell. 

Williams competed in the 3-Point Shot.

Townships work together to repair Hiner Road 


Staff Writer 

Hiner Road is slated to receive surface 

upgrades in the coming months. 

IT’S COMING 

BACK!!! 

Come and Get It! 

Will Resume in Our 

April 7, 2019 Issue. 

Deadlines are: 

Tuesdays by 5 pm. 

For following Monday’s Publication. 

At the March 19 meeting, the Jackson 

Township board of trustees announced a 

cooperative agreement with Scioto 

Township to make repairs to the roadway. 

Township Administrator Shane 

Farnsworth said Scioto Township will pay 

25 percent of the total cost of the project 

while Jackson Township will pick up the 

rest. 

“We will pay roughly $100,000 for the 

work to our portion of the road,” 

Farnsworth said. 

According to Farnsworth, Hiner Road is 

in “rough” shape and is slated to receive 

repairs to the pavement, the berms and 

culverts, as well as pipe replacement. He 

projected that there would be road delays 

and closures when the work begins this 

summer, but said the township will get 

together with the contractors to notify the 

residents as to when the closures may 

occur. 

“We will make sure the community is 

aware of any traffic issues,” he said. 

Farnsworth also said the township will 

do repair work to portions of Dyer Road, 

Hyde Road and Lois Drive later this year. 

“We don’t have a set date for when those 

repairs will take place yet,” he said. 

At the meeting, the trustees also 

approved the purchase of a new medic unit. 

According to Fiscal Officer Ron Grossman, 

the medic will cost $304,000, which is an 

increase from the last medic they purchased 

in October. 

“We saw the price go up by 1.4 percent 

in just a few months,” he said. 

The newly purchased medic, which will 

be built locally by Horton, will replace the 

medic at Station 203 on London-Groveport 

Road. Assistant Fire Chief Shawn Quincel 

said the medic that is being replaced has 

roughly 206,000 miles on it. It is scheduled 

to arrive in six to seven months. 

The medic that was purchased in 

October is supposed to be delivered to 

Station 202 within the next three to four 

weeks, said Fire Chief Randy Little.

Cap City Kidz, an educational arts production company that specializes in puppetry, brought a fun message on serious topics 

to the students at Darby Woods Elementary School on March 11. The company, which is in its second year, held two 45-minute 

presentations at the school to address ways to deal with bullying and make safer choices when meeting strangers. Shown here 

on the far left and right are co-founders Frances and Tim Irvin, respectively, with first grade students Khadijo Khalid and 

Roosevelt Spillman and, of course, the puppets.

“Captive State” explores 

human life after aliens win 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra Cordle 

The thread of hope in the aftermath of 

an extraterrestrial attack is predominant 

in invasion movies. In most, if not all of 

these films, the humans overcome insurmountable 

odds by successfully fighting off 

these technologically advanced beings and 

then come together to rebuild a more perfect 

world. With the latest product in this 

disaster sub-genre, however, that thread is burned and there is no 

hope to be found in the cinders. 

In “Captive State,” we witness the aftermath of an invasion 

where the aliens have won. Brief clips of news footage shows a 

valiant fight after the initial event, but the humans falter in the 

face of a more advanced species. To lessen the threat of complete 

annihilation, the governments of the world reach a treaty with the 

aliens wherein they work for them in exchange for the promise of 

“human unity.” 

In the years since the signing of the treaty, government leaders 

and their families and friends have profited immensely by creating 

surveillance networks to catch any suspected unity dissenters. 

Gone are the days when people would willingly share their private 

lives and in its place is a hyper-surveilled state where every single 

moment of your life is tracked and monitored by the police, the 

government and our apparent alien overlords. 

Income inequality has also reached its highest levels to date 

Next Edition 

(the film is set in the “near” future) and the less fortunate work 

for minimal gain with little hope of upward mobility. Among those 

in the latter wealth bracket is Gabriel Drummond (Ashton 

Sanders), a teenager who lost his mother and father during the 

March 10th 

initial invasion, and most recently his brother, who was one of the 

leaders in a defeated underground resistant movement known as 

Phoenix. 

Because of his familial ties, Gabriel is more vigilantly monitored 

but he takes risks here and there because of his desire for a 

better life. While trying to make a little bit more money on the 

side one day, he discovers that news reports of the demise of 

Phoenix have been greatly exaggerated. Now, he has to decide 

whether to follow in the footsteps of his elder brother Rafe 

(Jonathan Majors) and fight against the aliens and their government 

supporters, or eke out a life under a state of hyper-surveillance 

and unequal rule. 

“Captive State” is a film that mines elements from previous 

invasion movies while also making it feel relevant to today’s world 

and original in the world movie. The problem is there are too 

many ideas and not enough coherence to follow them through. 

While Gabriel is technically the main role in this film, it splinters 

into points-of-view from a cop of dubious loyalties (played by John 

Goodman) and various members of Phoenix as they try to pull off 

an attack. While these POV’s are interesting — if you ever wanted 

to see how “terrorist” cells work, this would be the film to watch — 

they create a muddling effect with the overall movie, making it 

feel far more tedious than it actually is. 

If you’re looking for an alien invasion movie that is action 

packed and full of witty repertoire, “Captive State” is not it. In 

fact, there is barely any humor or levity to be found within. But if 

you’re interested in seeing a movie in this sub-genre that is original 

albeit muddled, it might be worth a watch in the future on a 

streaming service. Grade: C
