STEAK<br />

COMBO!!<br />

A grand<br />

opening<br />

By Dedra Cordle<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Lauren Easley loves her local library.<br />

“We always come here,” said the<br />

Galloway resident.<br />

At least once a week, she and her 2-<br />

year-old son, Milo will go to the<br />

Westland Area Library in order to drop<br />

off the dozen or so books they had<br />

checked out and then scour the shelves<br />

for more.<br />

“We like to refresh our supply,” said<br />

Easley.<br />

But if there was one complaint she<br />

had about the library, it was its lack of a<br />

designated space for children.<br />

“They didn’t have much of anything,”<br />

she said. “The area really consisted of<br />

books, one table and a few chairs.”<br />

When she heard last year that an<br />

expansion project for the youth services<br />

department was forthcoming, she was<br />

ecstatic. She even made a mental note to<br />

come out for the grand unveiling, whenever<br />

that may be. When it finally<br />

occurred on March 23, six months after<br />

the construction process began, she and<br />

Milo were one of the first visitors. Like<br />

so many others who came out to the<br />

event, she was not at all prepared for<br />

what the finished product looked like.<br />

“It’s unbelievable,” Easley said.<br />

The Westland Area Library held a dedication<br />

ceremony on March 23 to celebrate<br />

the completion of the youth services<br />

department and teen area expansion.<br />

The project added more than<br />

3,600 square feet of space that will be<br />

used to host interactive programs like<br />

Commissioners debate<br />

Hilltop drop-in center<br />

By Josh Jordan<br />

Staff Writer<br />

Esther Flores, the founder of<br />

1DivineLine2Health, was seeking a letter<br />

of support from the Greater Hilltop Area<br />

Commission for her new planned drop-in<br />

center at 2633 Sullivant Ave.<br />

The request was discussed at the <strong>April</strong><br />

2 commissioners meeting, held at the<br />

Hilltop Library.<br />

The center would be a safe house and<br />

provide food and shelter for women in<br />

need, whether they are homeless, drug<br />

addicts, victims of human trafficking or<br />

prostitutes.<br />

“My main concern is that there is an elementary<br />

chairman. “I’m not sure about the location.<br />

Others in the room began speaking<br />

about their objections to the house moving<br />

into their neighborhood.<br />

Flores explained that the drop-in center<br />

would only be open 40 hours per week and<br />

that those in need could only stay at the<br />

center for up to a year if necessary.<br />

“I know that people are afraid, but what<br />

about the women that are pregnant and<br />

have no access to recovery,” said Flores.<br />

“This is what we’re all about. If you want to<br />

make a difference, sometimes we have to<br />

look at the situation and not treat them<br />

like garbage.”<br />

The house is not a rehabilitation center,<br />

but the facility would partner with groups<br />

who will help those in need. However, it is<br />

up to each individual if they participate.<br />

“More addicts will be coming into our<br />

neighborhood because it is free here,” said<br />

Marilyn Wilson, a resident who lives near<br />

the proposed site.<br />

“It seems like I am always here to advocate<br />

against people coming into our neighborhood<br />

and deciding what we need in our<br />

neighborhood. Nobody has asked the<br />

neighbors. None of us have been asked<br />

what our opinion is of this place,” said Lisa<br />

Boggs, a Hilltop community resident and<br />

activist. “There’s already a safehouse over<br />

there and it’s increased the prostitution in<br />

our area.”<br />

The commissioners expressed concern<br />

about how the drop-in center would be<br />

operated.<br />

“We do need to know more plans. We<br />

need a clear understanding of what your<br />

LIBRARY<br />

Continued from page 1<br />

After rounding the corner near the<br />

main entrance, the patrons came across a<br />

piece of chalk art from youth services<br />

librarian Jessica Smith that depicts a<br />

scene from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s<br />

classic children’s novel, “The Secret<br />

Garden.” As both book and expansion project<br />

share a theme of exploration and discovery,<br />

a “cement path” woven into the carpet<br />

leads visitors to an archway filled with<br />

stuffed animals that welcome them to the<br />

sensory room. There, the space is filled<br />

with books, puzzles, reading nooks, multiple<br />

tables, computers and furniture.<br />

Upon leaving the sensory room, the<br />

path takes visitors to the youth services<br />

program area that will primarily be used<br />

to host public reading events and activities,<br />

such as the popular Storytime series<br />

that is held throughout the year.<br />

“With all of this new space, people won’t<br />

have to sit on other people when they<br />

attend these events,” said Jane Barnhart,<br />

the youth services team lead. “Children<br />

and parents can be together as they take<br />

part whereas it used to be children in one<br />

room, parents in another.”<br />

Adjacent but separate to the program<br />

area is a section for teens where they can<br />

browse books on the tree shelf, use specialized<br />

tables to access the Internet or just<br />

take a few moments to chill out.<br />

“It’s just a neat space for teens,” said<br />

community events<br />

www.columbusmessenger.com<br />

to do it,” said commissioner Zerqa Abid. “I<br />

think nothing can work in any community<br />

unless both neighbors and the service<br />

providers are on the same page.”<br />

The commission went on to vote down<br />

the request of support with 13 against and<br />

one abstaining, but the conversation was<br />

not done.<br />

“I would really love to work with all of<br />

you to set up a couple meetings so that we<br />

can talk about this issue and come up with<br />

a solution that is collaborative and figure<br />

this out together,” said commissioner Nikol<br />

Madison. “I would love to take this on as<br />

my project for the rest of the year to work<br />

with the residents and the work that Ms.<br />

Flores is doing so that we can solve this<br />

issue together.”<br />

All parties agreed.<br />

Barnhart.<br />

Having worked at the library for nearly<br />

two decades, Barnhart has seen the<br />

growth of the patronage and been a witness<br />

to the need for the expansion of all<br />

departments, particularly for youth services.<br />

“It’s been pretty cramped for a long<br />

time,” she said.<br />

Barnhart said she was excited when the<br />

expansion project began, but didn’t realize<br />

just how much space would be added.<br />

“I knew it was around 3,600 square feet<br />

of new additions, but seeing it firsthand is<br />

something else,” she said. “It’s a little overwhelming,<br />

having all of this space.”<br />

Still, she knows it will be put to good<br />

use.<br />

“We have so many programming plans<br />

for the future,” she said. “And now we’ll<br />

actually have the space for it.”<br />

Judging by the comments from the children<br />

and adults alike, they too plan to take<br />

advantage of the expansion.<br />

“I like it a lot,” said Cadence Williams,<br />

a kindergartner at Darby Woods<br />

Elementary. “I like the play area. I like to<br />

read too.”<br />

“We will definitely be coming back,”<br />

said Hilliard resident Jessica Linley, who<br />

came to the dedication with her 5-year-old<br />

son Isaac. “It’s such a lovely place to be.”

Government Focus<br />

By Sandi Latimer<br />

Staff Writer<br />

The Westland Area Commission approved a modified<br />

version of the rezoning request for Blauser Farm on the far<br />

west side.<br />

A 7-5 vote at the March 20 meeting drew applause from<br />

about 100 Summerlyn residents and sent the proposed<br />

plans to the city. It will first go to the development commission<br />

for consideration.<br />

This vote, which came after more than 90 minutes of<br />

presentations and discussion, supports all the proposed<br />

zoning of a portion of the 200-acres of land except for<br />

allowing apartments to be built. The apartment issue was<br />

forefront in Summerlyn residents’ testimony at the meeting<br />

and a zoning committee meeting a week earlier where<br />

about 125 people crowded into a classroom in the<br />

Osteopathic Heritage Center of Doctors Hospital.<br />

“Apartment (dwellers) are not always that great about<br />

maintaining the area around them,” said Janet Cahill,<br />

president of the Summerlyn Homeowners Association,<br />

“Apartments lower the value of single-family housing.”<br />

Annie Mitchell agreed.<br />

“I’ve worked at Doctors Hospital and I’ve seen what<br />

apartments have done around Lincoln Village North.”<br />

Immunizations in Prairie Township<br />

Franklin County Public Health will offer adult and<br />

childhood immunizations Thursday <strong>April</strong> 18 at the<br />

Prairie Township Fire Department, 123 Inah Ave.<br />

Most insurance plans accepted. Discounted services<br />

are available for those with no insurance. To schedule<br />

an appointment, call (614) 525-3719 or visit<br />

Prairie Township Community Cleanup<br />

Prairie Township will host its annual community<br />

spring cleanup from May 2-4 and May 9-11 at 6725<br />

Alkire Road. The Thursday and Friday events will be<br />

held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the Saturday events<br />

will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cleanup is for<br />

township residents only, no businesses. Hazardous<br />

waste and yard waste will not be accepted. For more<br />

information, contact the township at 617-878-3317.<br />

Fresh produce to be distributed<br />

Free fresh fruit and vegetables will be distributed<br />

on <strong>April</strong> 13 to qualified, low-income Franklin County<br />

residents. The fresh produce will be available at<br />

Central Baptist Church, 1955 Frank Road in<br />

Cahill said when she returned to Columbus in 2014<br />

after a 17-year absence from her native <strong>Westside</strong>, she was<br />

told that the <strong>Westside</strong> should not expect nice homes in the<br />

area.<br />

The Blauser property lies west of the Prairie Township<br />

Community Center and abuts the Summerlyn single-family<br />

housing development.<br />

“We’ve been working with the city on this since<br />

2000,” said applicant Jeff Brown of Smith and Hale<br />

in his summation of the current plans.<br />

Those plans call for as many as 451 housing units<br />

on 29 acres near Summerlyn. Two areas are to be<br />

rezoned for limited residential and apartments.<br />

“I don’t need anyone from apartments looking<br />

down on me,” said Cahill, who lives in the southwest<br />

corner of Summerlyn, adjacent to an area where<br />

apartments are planned.<br />

She was also concerned about the proposed walking<br />

trail that would bring pedestrian traffic into<br />

Summerlyn.<br />

“Why can’t you make that a circular trail?”<br />

An area along West Broad Street would be zoned<br />

commercial planned development for businesses<br />

such as restaurants, office space and retail, Brown<br />

said.<br />

Columbus, beginning at 10:30 a.m. To assist in registration,<br />

bring a photo ID and your current address in<br />

home. For more information, contact the church at<br />

Commissioners approve plans for vacant Target site<br />

By Josh Jordan<br />

Staff Writer<br />

At the <strong>April</strong> 2 meeting, the Greater<br />

Hilltop Area Commission made its unanimous<br />

decision to fill a void in the West<br />

Broad landscape.<br />

Solstice Sleep is a mattress manufacturing<br />

company currently located off of Fisher<br />

Road. Now they have the commissions support<br />

to buy and renovate the old Target<br />

store at 3720 West Broad Street.<br />

“What we’re looking to do is bring our<br />

entire operation over from Fisher Road and<br />

also build a small retail outlet store in the<br />

front portion of the building,” said Evan<br />

Fercasso who was representing Solstice<br />

Sleep. “We would be adding around 10<br />

loading docks to the back of the building to<br />

accommodate our inbound and outgoing<br />

freight.”<br />

Initial questions from the commissioners<br />

and the community showed concern<br />

about the amount of trucks coming and<br />

going from the facility, but Solstice Sleep<br />

has a plan for that.<br />

“All of our trucks will be heading west<br />

on West Broad Street. If they’re going out<br />

the opposite direction, they’re going out to<br />

Wilson Road,” said Fercasso.<br />

This plan means that all truck traffic<br />

would only take right turns into and out of<br />

the lot in front of Target. Fercasso also said<br />

that no trucks would be allowed to park on<br />

site, even with the large parking lot out<br />

front. This is a continued policy from their<br />

current facility.<br />

With 20 to 40 trucks expected daily,<br />

these policies were welcomed by the commission<br />

and was followed by the unanimous<br />

decision to approve the variances<br />

required for Solstice Sleep to purchase the<br />

property.<br />

Westland Area Commission shows support for Blauser Farm plan<br />

community events<br />

The Blauser proposal came up after a request to rezone<br />

the corner of Hall and Galloway roads to allow for the construction<br />

of up to 138 housing units and a variance for an<br />

improved access road. Both issues were approved on a<br />

voice vote and sent to the city.<br />

A national honor<br />

By Dedra Cordle<br />

Staff Writer<br />

The disappointment Aisho Ali felt was a<br />

shared experience with her family.<br />

For months, the tight-knit group had<br />

provided encouragement as the senior at<br />

Franklin Heights High School went after a<br />

number of scholarship opportunities and<br />

then support after she received word she<br />

had not been selected for any of them.<br />

“It was really kind of hard to see,” said<br />

Ali’s older sister, Maryam Bafadal.<br />

To keep the valedictorian from becoming<br />

too despondent, they told her to keep applying<br />

for scholarships and reminded her that<br />

it would work out in the end.<br />

“We had confidence that it would be<br />

OK,” said Bafadal.<br />

During the final round of searching, Ali<br />

came upon a scholarship from the National<br />

Honor Society that provided a chance for<br />

its chapter members to receive up to<br />

$25,000 for future studies should they<br />

become finalists. With the deadline to<br />

apply looming, Ali knew she had to take a<br />

chance.<br />

“I figured I had nothing to lose,” she<br />

said.<br />

Working with Clarissa Furlong, her<br />

sophomore AP biology teacher and key club<br />

adviser, they discussed how to make the<br />

student with a long history of volunteerism<br />

stand out in a field of equally accomplished<br />

students. In the end, Furlong encouraged<br />

Ali to share her passion with the advisory<br />

board.<br />

“I told Aisho to let them know what was<br />

in her heart,” she said.<br />

And to Furlong, it is a heart filled with<br />

wonder, compassion and determination.<br />

“She has been making a difference in<br />

her community and her school for years,<br />

but I think she’s going to make a huge difference<br />

in the entire world.”<br />

Having sent in her essay about the<br />

importance of community and being a positive<br />

change, Ali and her family waited for<br />

word. And waited. And waited some more.<br />

Then one morning, Bafadal received a call<br />

from Shelly Mann, the NHS co-adviser at<br />

Franklin Heights, who told her that her<br />

sister was the recipient of the $25,000<br />

scholarship.<br />

“I was half asleep when I answered, but<br />

then I was wide awake, my heart beating<br />

Aisho Ali, a senior at Franklin Heights High School, received a $25,000 National Honor<br />

Society scholarship during a surprise ceremony on March 22. Her selection from the<br />

NHS parent organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals,<br />

marks the first time a student in the South-Western City School District has received<br />

the award. Pictured with Ali (second from left) is principal Tim Donahue, Dr. Beverly<br />

Hutton and Dr. Christine Handy, the deputy executive director of program services and<br />

the president, respectively, of the NASSP.<br />

so fast,” said Bafadal.<br />

Knowing that a surprise ceremony with<br />

a delegation from the National Association<br />

of Secondary School Principals, the parent<br />

organization of NHS, was forthcoming,<br />

Bafadal was sworn to secrecy.<br />

“I had to tell the rest of my family, of<br />

course, but we promised not to make any<br />

mention to Aisho,” she said.<br />

It was a promise that was hard to keep<br />

for the family that is used to sharing everything<br />

with each other.<br />

“I was scared I would tell,” said her<br />

mother, Fatma Bafadal.<br />

Complicating issues was Ali’s planned<br />

absence the day of the ceremony as she was<br />

set to interview with advisers with the<br />

early assurance program at Ohio State<br />

University’s College of Pharmacy. Though<br />

the meeting was postponed, Ali thought<br />

she might take the day off.<br />

“We told her she had to go to school,”<br />

said Maryam Bafadal.<br />

“I was very confused as to why they kept<br />

telling me I had to go,” said Ali. “I don’t<br />

make it a habit to miss school so I was very<br />

puzzled by their behavior.”<br />

Though suspicious, Ali didn’t think<br />

much of it when an announcement went<br />

over the public address system stating that<br />

all NHS chapter members should report to<br />

the auditorium. Nor did she give it further<br />

thought when a section was filled with people<br />

in business attire. Then, as Dr.<br />

Christine Handy, the president of the<br />

NASSP spoke of a student and an essay<br />

that “exemplified all that is great” about<br />

the NHS, a shock of sorts overcame her.<br />

“I didn’t know what was happening,”<br />

said Ali. “I didn’t know if someone else in<br />

our chapter had sought out this scholarship<br />

or if they were really here for me.”<br />

She said she couldn’t believe that it was<br />

her they were there for.<br />

“It’s having trouble sinking into my<br />

brain,” she said. “This means so much to<br />

me and my family. I don’t want them to<br />

have to worry about coming up with the<br />

money to pay for school or the prospect of<br />

debt, mine or theirs, so this is a real blessing.”<br />

Handy said Ali was chosen for the<br />

$25,000 scholarship out of 11,000 applicants<br />

and 600 finalists because she best<br />

represents the four pillars of the NHS —<br />

scholarship, leadership, service and character.<br />

“She stood out as a person who exemplified<br />

all of those traits and more,” said<br />

Handy, referring to Ali’s work fighting the<br />

teen opioid epidemic with the Ohio<br />

Attorney General’s Teen Ambassador<br />

Board, her co-founding of the school’s<br />

UNICEF chapter (with Maryam), her academics<br />

and her future pursuits. “We know<br />

she will go far in life.”<br />

Having been accepted to Ohio State, Ali<br />

plans to enroll in the college of pharmacy<br />

where she intends to continue her work in<br />

the fight against opioid abuse.<br />

“I don’t know what I’m going to do exactly<br />

but it has always been my goal to help<br />

other people,” she said. “I think we need to<br />

treat others well and try our best to be a<br />

positive change.”<br />

Furlong said she has no doubt Ali will<br />

continue to do just that.<br />

“If she has her mind set on something, it<br />

will happen,” she said.

Market analysis says the Hilltop has room to grow<br />

“Where are the jobs in the Hilltop?”<br />

It’s a question many have asked and Columbus City<br />

Council has taken the charge to answer.<br />

In 2018, council commissioned the Hilltop Retail<br />

Market Analysis and Small Business Opportunity Study<br />

to create a tool for local business leaders and the department<br />

of development to advocate for small business, retail,<br />

and commercial development in the area.<br />

“We were witnessing major housing and retail investment<br />

in Franklinton, but it seems to stop there,” said former<br />

President Pro Tem Michael Stinziano. “Council and<br />

the community are wondering the same thing. Why hasn’t<br />

small business and retail development expanded to the<br />

Hilltop?”<br />

The study, which was funded by the city in 2018, gathered<br />

data around key indicators that businesses use to<br />

evaluate expansion and relocation opportunities, such as<br />

spending power, workforce and market saturation.<br />

“Our residents’ lives are better when they don’t have to<br />

cross town to get what they need, and what we’re seeing is<br />

that our Hilltop residents are doing just that,” said<br />

Councilwoman Elizabeth Brown. “This study makes it easier<br />

to sell businesses on why the Hilltop is just the place<br />

for them - to their benefit and to our residents’, too.”<br />

Some of the key findings of the study:<br />

• There is $413 million in local spending power but only<br />

14 percent to 18 percent of that is being spent in the<br />

Hilltop itself. Specific opportunities for growth are in local<br />

restaurants, hardware stores, personal care, and medical<br />

services.<br />

• Hilltop homeowners are projected to outnumber<br />

renters by 2024 which provides local small<br />

businesses with a reliable base of customers that<br />

are invested in the community. The Hilltop is well<br />

positioned to be marketed and re-established as a<br />

desirable affordable place for working and middleclass<br />

owner-occupied housing.<br />

• About nine in ten workers are currently commuting<br />

into the area from elsewhere in the region<br />

for their jobs, adding to the market potential that<br />

can be tapped in the Hilltop if these workers move<br />

locally to be closer to their jobs.<br />

• West Broad Street has several redevelopment<br />

sites that could attract national retailers to the<br />

area and that Sullivant Avenue has the potential<br />

to develop into a unique business district based<br />

around international foods and products.<br />

“With its tight-knit neighbors, long-time residents,<br />

and rich history, we didn’t need a study to<br />

tell us the Hilltop is a place of promise. We needed<br />

this study to enable a more powerful kind of advocacy<br />

that speaks the same language as the businesses<br />

we’d like to see come to the neighborhood,”<br />

said Brown.<br />

Food Board, in conjunction with the Franklin County<br />

Local Food Council, announced Highland Youth<br />

Garden as the winner of the inaugural Local Food<br />

Champion Award.<br />

Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson honored Highland<br />

Youth Garden with a resolution at the March 25 city<br />

council meeting.<br />

The Local Food Champion Award recognizes and<br />

celebrates grassroots community efforts that support<br />

the Columbus and Franklin County Local Food Action<br />

Plan’s vision of a fair and sustainable food system that<br />

benefits the economy, environment and people. The<br />

Local Food Champion’s work embodies one or all of the<br />

goals outlined in the Local Food Action Plan:<br />

Goal A: Enhance coordination and communication<br />

among existing food resources and agencies.<br />

Goal B: Improve access to and education about<br />

healthy food, affordable food and local food.<br />

Goal C: Increase the role of food in economic development.<br />

Goal D: Prevent food-related waste.<br />

“Highland Youth Garden has performed significant<br />

work to improve access to and education about healthy<br />

food as well as local food. This honor is well deserved<br />

for their gardening education efforts in the Hilltop<br />

community,” said Tyson. “I am happy to see this inaugural<br />

award go to such a dedicated garden.”<br />

The Highland Youth Garden’s achievements were<br />

also honored during a special ceremony at the<br />

Franklin County Local Food Council meeting on<br />

March 20 at Columbus Public Health.<br />

Highland Youth Garden is celebrating 10 years of<br />

educational gardening in the Hilltop. It serves 350<br />

youth with two part-time staff members and 500 volunteers.<br />

The garden offers garden education lessons to<br />

students from Highland Elementary and Educational<br />

Academy for Boys and Girls. The garden offers monthly<br />

harvest gatherings where 75 community members,<br />

volunteers and sponsors harvest produce and celebrate<br />

with a meal.<br />

The Highland Youth Garden on the Hilltop received<br />

the Local Food Champion Award.<br />

Franklin County Local Food Council is an independent<br />

advisory council that brings together people<br />

from across the food system, from growers to eaters,<br />

with a particular interest in people and neighborhoods<br />

most affected by food system policies and programs.<br />

The organization provides space for education and<br />

information sharing and supports community engagement,<br />

food system-related campaigns, and mentorship<br />

for food system ideas. It also serves as a way for residents<br />

of Columbus and Franklin County to be involved<br />

in the implementation of the Columbus and Franklin<br />

County Local Food Action Plan.<br />

In Entertainment<br />

The expression ‘so and so elevates the<br />

material’ speaks of a remarkable performance<br />

in an otherwise dull movie, play or television<br />

show. Traditionally, this statement<br />

is in reference to a human actor but the latest<br />

Disney film makes the case that it can<br />

also encompass computer creations.<br />

In “Dumbo,” an expanded live-action<br />

adaptation of an animated classic, it is the<br />

digital pachyderm that makes the show.<br />

While I suspect that was not the entire<br />

intention, this elephant doll made on an<br />

assembly line gone wrong is the saving<br />

GOOD<br />

<strong>April</strong> Giveaway<br />

grace in this muddled mess of a film.<br />

Taking place post World War I,<br />

“Dumbo” centers on a struggling troupe of<br />

circus performers. Like the rest of the<br />

country, their circus has fallen onto hard<br />

times and drastic cuts to its operations<br />

have had to be made. One such casualty is<br />

to the equine act led by the famed Holt<br />

Farrier (Colin Farrell), who only learns of<br />

this decision after he returns from serving<br />

overseas.<br />

With two children to take care of — his<br />

wife died of influenza, of course — Holt begs<br />

circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito)<br />

to find him a new place where he can work<br />

and train animals. As luck would have it,<br />

there is an opening tending to the elephants<br />

but Holt is less than thrilled with<br />

this news.<br />

One of his first tasks is to tend to the<br />

pregnant elephant Jumbo and then prepare<br />

the baby for display. When they discover<br />

that the calf’s ears are wildly disproportionate<br />

to its body, however, it falls on<br />

him to figure out how to keep the circus<br />

from becoming a national laughing stock.<br />

As luck wouldn’t have it, things quickly go<br />

awry.<br />

During its first public unveiling, the calf<br />

is swaddled in baby elephant gear complete<br />

with a stroller. As he is paraded around in<br />

front of the masses, he sneezes in a feather<br />

and appears to fly backward. While Holt’s<br />

children, Milly and Joe (played by Nico<br />

Parker and Finley Hobbins, respectively)<br />

told him about this magical feat, he is more<br />

concerned by the awful reaction from the<br />

crowd who jeer the calf’s ears. In the ensuing<br />

melee, Jumbo gets protective and an<br />

accident befalls the big tent. Mother and<br />

son are separated in the aftermath, and the<br />

kids make a deal with the newly named<br />

Dumbo: perform in the circus and they’ll<br />

buy his mother back.<br />

What follows is a sanitized version of<br />

how animals were trained and treated in<br />

(some) circuses, a push by a wealthy entrepreneur<br />

(Michael Keaton) of dubious intent<br />

to merge the two entertainment ventures,<br />

and actors who are clearly not used to performing<br />

with CGI animals, particularly flying<br />

baby elephants. Their interactions<br />

remind me of the ‘Be Our Guest’ number in<br />

the live-action Beauty and the Beast where<br />

Belle “performs” with the talking pottery<br />

and furniture. While they are not as stiff as<br />

the actress in that scene, the ones in<br />

Dumbo are not as fluid as they could, or<br />

should, have been either.<br />

Clocking in around 1 hour and 50 minutes,<br />

“Dumbo” can be a bit of a slog to get<br />

through. It doesn’t help that plot threads<br />

are picked up and dropped off, nor does it<br />

help that the human characters are underdeveloped;<br />

If you’re going to make a movie<br />

about a flying elephant but put the focus on<br />

the humans, at least make them interesting.<br />

There is also a weird subplot about the<br />

dangers of capitalism, which coming from<br />

Dumbo’s cuteness saves this muddled mess<br />

The Reel Deal<br />

Dedra Cordle<br />

Disney is just laughable.<br />

I don’t know if<br />

the studio missed<br />

that current from<br />

writer Ehren<br />

Kruger and director<br />

Tim Burton, or if<br />

they just thought it<br />

was a cute inside joke but it’s just another<br />

oddity in this tonally odd movie.<br />

While “Dumbo” is neither good nor bad,<br />

there are cute moments, especially when it<br />

comes to its star, the digital pachyderm.<br />

The creators did a wonderful job with<br />

bringing this computer graphic to life and<br />

you can’t help but be enamored with his<br />

floppy ears, tubby body and emotional eyes.<br />

If there is one thing to take away from this<br />

film, it is that elephants are special creatures<br />

who deserve the best in life, and better<br />

movies. Grade: C<br />

Blue is a big baby. He<br />

might have a loud<br />

bark, but just wants to<br />

play all day. He could<br />

play for hours with<br />

toys, even by himself.<br />

He’s a sweet, handsome<br />

pooch in<br />

search of his forever family. He walks well with<br />

a harness lead, always checking in to see<br />

tail wagging as she<br />

goes. Regina is looking<br />

for a family that<br />

can match her energetic<br />

lifestyle and maybe a furry friend in her<br />

new home. If you’re looking for a girl who’s<br />

always got a positive attitude, you can’t find a<br />

better match than Regina. Adopt her from the<br />

<strong>April</strong> 7, <strong>2019</strong> - WESTSIDE MESSENGER - PAGE 7<br />

Ways to celebrate Earth Day<br />

Earth Day is a celebration of the planet<br />

that people, plants and animals call home.<br />

First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day was<br />

established to demonstrate support for<br />

environmental protection, and events are<br />

held each year on <strong>April</strong> 22. It is now coordinated<br />

globally by the Earth Day Network<br />

and celebrated in more than 193 countries.<br />

People may wonder what they can do at<br />

a local level to make Earth Day a larger<br />

part of their lives. Here are just a few great<br />

ways to embrace Earth Day.<br />

•Make it a point to bike or walk to<br />

school or work. If conditions are prohibitive,<br />

carpool to cut down on traffic. The<br />

fewer cars on the road, the less emissions<br />

in the air.<br />

•Recycle e-waste in your home. E-waste<br />

is considered outdated electronic appliances<br />

that are no longer used. The<br />

Environmental Protection Agency suggests<br />

e-waste is the fastest growing waste<br />

stream in the world.<br />

•Invest in a reusable coffee cup or water<br />

bottle. This can reduce the amount of trash<br />

that ultimately ends up in the environment.<br />

•Connect with nature by turning off<br />

electronics for the day and getting outside.<br />

Head to a park or nature trail and immerse<br />

yourself in the great outdoors.<br />

•Do something as simple as switching<br />

paper statements and bills to e-bills and<br />

online invoices. This reduces reliance on<br />

trees for new sources of paper.<br />

•Grow some edibles in your home garden<br />

or even on a windowsill. This is a fun,<br />

eco-friendly way to control the foods you<br />

consume at home and a great way to save<br />

money as well.<br />

•Reusing and recycling does not just<br />

pertain to water bottles and aluminum<br />

cans. Find out ways to repurpose or share<br />

items with others so they get more<br />

mileage. Also, make use of sharing services<br />

like bike sharing kiosks or Yerdle, an<br />

online community sharing marketplace.<br />

•Volunteer your time at an organization<br />

that has an environmental focus. Or<br />

suggest a task with an eco-friendly slant,<br />

like picking up trash from a beach, to a<br />

local community group or club.<br />

Earth Day is a great opportunity to get<br />

involved with environmental efforts.<br />
