Firefighter under 

investigation in JT 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

The Jackson Township board of 

trustees have appointed an independent 

party to investigate the off-duty conduct of 

a member of the fire department. 

At a recent meeting, trustees Stephen 

Bowshier and Jim Rauck authorized former 

Ohio State Highway Patrolman John 

Allard to investigate an alleged domestic 

violence incident regarding firefighter 

David Scott Burris. Trustee David Burris 

recused himself from the action as he is 

David Scott Burris’ father.

culinary institute on March 22 with an 

event to celebrate the variety of book 

genres that are out there, ready to be 

devoured. The Book Tasting, as it was 

called, was created by teacher Mary 

Payne to cap off the end of a six-week 

project that challenged students to read 

outside of their comfort zone via the 

introduction of non-fiction books and 

poetry books. To showcase their knowledge, 

the students donned chef hats, 

aprons and created placemats in order 

to share their new literary delights.

The City Beat 

By Andrea Cordle 

Southwest Editor 

A preliminary development plan to put an apartment 

complex in Grove City was voted down. 

At the April 1 meeting, Grove City Council denied 

approval for Sugar Maple Commons, which would 

have been located south of Holton Road and west of 

State Route 104. Treplus Communities, LLC had proposed 

to build 105 apartment units at the location for 

those 55 and older. 

“I like the project. I just don’t know if I like it there,” 

said councilwoman Christine Houk. 

Several residents spoke out against the proposal 

saying the apartments did not fit in with the rural 

character of the area. 

“I like the rural feel of the area and too much development 

takes that away,” said Angela Streeter. 

Other residents cited increased traffic as their main 

concern about the apartment complex. 

Houk said she receives numerous calls from residents 

who have concerns about traffic along Borror 

Road, Holton Road and State Route 104. 

Aaron Underhill, an attorney representing the 

developer, said part of the proposal was to realign 

Holton Road to help ease traffic concerns around the 

apartment complex. He said the developer would complete 

a full traffic study and would be open to address 

issues with the community. 

Only three council members were present to vote on 

the preliminary development plan. Roby Schottke was 

absent from the meeting and the developer requested 

that councilman Ted Berry be removed from voting 

due to comments he made about the apartments. 

Stephen Smith, the city’s law director, said Berry did 

not violate any law or code with his comments and he 

could vote on the matter, but Berry voluntarily 

recused himself. 

The majority of the remaining council members

Continued from page 1 

According to an incident report submitted by the 

Grove City Division of Police, their officers responded 

to a call on March 7 from the daughter of Burris’ partner 

who alleged Burris was “drunk and pushing her 

mother around.” According to the police report, Burris 

was also alleged to have pushed the daughter when 

she told him to stop. Burris denied the allegations to 

the officer, stating “nobody touched one another.” 

The police placed Burris under arrest due to “visible 

abrasions” on his partner’s left arm. Upon his arrest, 

the report states his partner refused to cooperate with 

the officers. 

Franklin County Municipal Court records indicate 

he was released on his own recognizance the following 

day, has retained Samuel Shamansky as his primary 

attorney, and has pled not guilty to the charges. The 

Messenger reached out to Burris’ attorney for comment 

but has not received a response as of press time. 

According to Township Administrator Shane 

Farnsworth, Burris has been placed on paid administrative 

leave until further notice. 

Bowshier said the township hired Allard to conduct 

the investigation instead of Fire Chief Randy Little 

upon the advice of their legal counsel. Lynn Bruno, the 

township’s public information officer, said she does not

Council denies apartment proposal 

Funding for road work and trees approved 

voted against the proposal. The city’s planning commission 

also recommended denial of the plan. 

Southwest Boulevard 

Council approved an ordinance to appropriate 

approximately $668,000 from the county motor vehicle 

license fund for improvements to Southwest Boulevard 

between Richard Avenue and Hoover Road. 

The improvements will include pavement reconstruction, 

curb replacement, storm sewer additions, 

and full replacement of the intersection of Southwest 

Boulevard and Richard Avenue with a proposed roundabout. 

The city received a $1.5 million grant from the Ohio 

Public Works Commission and a $531,500 interest free 

loan. The county engineer approved the use of the 

motor vehicle license fund to help fund the local match 

portion of the project costs. The total project is estimated 

to cost $2.7 million. 

The project is scheduled to start in 2020. 

Tree Planting 

Council approved an ordinance to set aside $76,775 

from the community environment fund to plant trees 

in various city parks. 

“We have a tree deficiency,” said councilman Ted 

Berry. 

The councilman said the plan is to add 250 trees at 

Breck, Westgrove, Henceroth and Fryer parks, as well 

as in the city’s Town Center. 

“We need more shade in our parks,” said Berry. 

Not everyone at the council meeting was in favor of 

the tree plantings. 

“Grove City resident Roger Burket said, “I like 

trees. I don’t like spending $77,000 on them.” 

Houk admitted that it is a “hefty price” for trees but 

said the costs would be covered by a fund specifically 

for trees. 

“I am a fiscal conservative, but I am also a tree hugger,” 

said the councilwoman. 

know how much the independent investigation will 

cost at this time. 

The March 7 incident is the third off-duty incident 

that Burris has reportedly been involved in within the 

past 19 months. In August of 2017, Burris was pulled 

over for a driving infraction and later cited for suspicion 

of operating a vehicle while under the influence. 

Several weeks later, he received a disorderly conduct 

citation from the Grove City Division of Police. 

According to municipal court records, Burris’ disorderly 

conduct charge was dismissed and he pled guilty to 

reckless operation in 2018. 

At the time of the August 2017 incident, Burris was 

the township’s fire marshal. After subsequent internal 

investigations by Little, he was reassigned at the end 

of December 2017. 

In related news, the trustees authorized Little at 

the April 2 board meeting to investigate the off-duty 

conduct of two firefighters. Little said he cannot comment 

on the matter at this time. 

The meeting also saw the promotion of Luke Smith, 

a 16-year veteran of the department, to the rank of 

captain. Little said Smith’s integrity “sets an example” 

for the rest of the department and added that he was 

“proud to have him on the leadership team.”

In Education 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

The disappointment Aisho Ali felt was a 

shared experience with her family. 

For months, the tight-knit group had 

provided encouragement as the senior at 

Franklin Heights High School went after a 

number of scholarship opportunities and 

then support after she received word she 

had not been selected for any of them. 

“It was really kind of hard to see,” said 

Ali’s older sister, Maryam Bafadal. 

To keep the valedictorian from becoming 

too despondent, they told her to keep 

applying for scholarships and reminded 

her that it would work out in the end. 

“We had confidence that it would be 

OK,” said Bafadal. 

During the final round of searching, Ali 

came upon a scholarship from the National 

Honor Society that provided a chance for 

its chapter members to receive up to 

$25,000 for future studies should they 

become finalists. With the deadline to 

apply looming, Ali knew she had to take a 

chance. 

“I figured I had nothing to lose,” she 

said. 

Working with Clarissa Furlong, her

Ask about our early entrance kindergarten program 

Tuition is FREE! 

ENROLLING NOW for 2019-2020 2018-2019 school year! 

Hurry, spots fill up quickly! 

A first for the school district 

sophomore AP biology teacher and key club 

adviser, they discussed how to make the 

student with a long history of volunteerism 

stand out in a field of equally accomplished 

students. In the end, Furlong encouraged 

Ali to share her passion with the advisory 

board. 

“I told Aisho to let them know what was 

in her heart,” she said. 

And to Furlong, it is a heart filled with 

wonder, compassion and determination. 

“She has been making a difference in 

her community and her school for years, 

but I think she’s going to make a huge difference 

in the entire world.” 

Having sent in her essay about the 

importance of community and being a positive 

change, Ali and her family waited for 

word. And waited. And waited some more. 

Then one morning, Bafadal received a call 

from Shelly Mann, the NHS co-adviser at 

Franklin Heights, who told her that her 

sister was the recipient of the $25,000 

scholarship. 

“I was half asleep when I answered, but 

then I was wide awake, my heart beating 

so fast,” said Bafadal. 

Knowing that a surprise ceremony with 

a delegation from the National Association 

of Secondary School Principals, the parent 

organization of NHS, was forthcoming, 

Bafadal was sworn to secrecy. 

“I had to tell the rest of my family, of 

course, but we promised not to make any 

mention to Aisho,” she said. 

It was a promise that was hard to keep 

for the family that is used to sharing everything 

with each other. 

“I was scared I would tell,” said her 

mother, Fatma Bafadal. 

Complicating issues was Ali’s planned 

absence the day of the ceremony as she was 

set to interview with advisers with the 

early assurance program at Ohio State 

University’s College of Pharmacy. Though 

the meeting was postponed, Ali thought 

she might take the day off. 

“We told her she had to go to school,” 

said Maryam Bafadal. 

“I was very confused as to why they kept 

telling me I had to go,” said Ali. “I don’t 

make it a habit to miss school so I was very 

puzzled by their behavior.” 

Though suspicious, Ali didn’t think 

much of it when an announcement went 

over the public address system stating that 

all NHS chapter members should report to 

the auditorium. Nor did she give it further 

thought when a section was filled with people 

in business attire. Then, as Dr. 

Christine Handy, the president of the 

NASSP spoke of a student and an essay 

that “exemplified all that is great” about 

the NHS, a shock of sorts overcame her. 

“I didn’t know what was happening,” 

said Ali. “I didn’t know if someone else in 

our chapter had sought out this scholarship 

or if they were really here for me.” 

She said she couldn’t believe that it was

Aisho Ali, a senior at Franklin Heights 

High School, received a $25,000 National 

Honor Society scholarship during a surprise 

ceremony on March 22. Her selection 

from the NHS parent organization, 

the National Association of Secondary 

School Principals, marks the first time a 

student in the South-Western City School 

District has received the award. Pictured

her they were there for. 

“It’s having trouble sinking into my 

brain,” she said. “This means so much to 

me and my family. I don’t want them to 

have to worry about coming up with the 

money to pay for school or the prospect of 

debt, mine or theirs, so this is a real blessing.” 

Handy said Ali was chosen for the 

$25,000 scholarship out of 11,000 applicants 

and 600 finalists because she best 

represents the four pillars of the NHS — 

scholarship, leadership, service and character. 

“She stood out as a person who exemplified 

all of those traits and more,” said 

Handy, referring to Ali’s work fighting the 

teen opioid epidemic with the Ohio 

Attorney General’s Teen Ambassador 

Board, her co-founding of the school’s 

UNICEF chapter (with Maryam), her academics 

and her future pursuits. “We know 

she will go far in life.” 

Having been accepted to Ohio State, Ali 

plans to enroll in the college of pharmacy 

where she intends to continue her work in 

the fight against opioid abuse. 

“I don’t know what I’m going to do exactly 

but it has always been my goal to help 

other people,” she said. “I think we need to 

treat others well and try our best to be a 

positive change.” 

Furlong said she has no doubt Ali will 

continue to do just that. 

“If she has her mind set on something, it 

will happen,” she said.

PAID ADVERTISING 

Buying a home: 

What’s your credit score got to do with it? 

There is no time like the present to educate yourself on your 

credit score, how it’s calculated, and how you can improve it. 

But what does your credit score have to do with buying a 

home? Everything. 

Your credit score is one of the leading factors in determining 

what type of mortgage loan you qualify for. Typically, the higher 

the credit score, the lower the interest rate. You’ll find the 

difference of a few points on your score can affect your monthly 

payment by hundreds of dollars. 

Credit Score Scale: 

Poor Credit = 300 to mid-600s 

You’ve got work to do, but you do have options! If your 

credit score needs some TLC, take action to improve it. Start by 

making on-time payments on all of your bills, checking your 

credit report for errors, and working to pay down credit card 

balances. It is important to know your lender options. When 

you have a subpar credit score and want to buy a home, it may 

benefit you to look into credit unions and community banks 

first. 

Fair to Good Credit = Mid-600s to mid-700s 

Congratulations! A credit score in this range means you’re 

likely to qualify for a variety of loan types. For those in the Fair 

category, consider FHA or VA programs that often have lower 

credit score qualifications and help borrowers with low down 

payments. If you score in the Good range, your options increase 

significantly. You may qualify for mortgages with lower interest 

rates, including conventional, USDA, and HomeReady 

loans. 

Very Good to Excellent Credit = Above mid-700s 

High five! You’ve hit the credit score jackpot! This means 

you will likely receive the lowest rates available with more 

options on the table. With a credit score above 700, you may 

qualify for jumbo loans in addition to other mortgage types. A 

jumbo mortgage is a non-conforming mortgage and is used 

when a homebuyer is seeking a loan that is greater than the conforming 

loan limit in the area.

Factors to consider when choosing and applying mulch 

Homeowners associate mulch with 

springtime lawn and garden care. 

Mulch protects roots against extreme 

temperatures. 

Mulch is often connected with its ability 

to help soil retain moisture during especially 

warm times of the year, when mulch 

promotes strong roots that can help lawns 

and plants survive periods of extreme heat. 

Applying mulch in spring can be beneficial 

to lawns. 

Homeowners should first consider a few 

factors. 

•Timing: Know when the average day of 

the last frost is in your area. 

•Texture: Try medium-textured mulch. 

Fine particles may pack down and retain 

moisture that will evaporate before it 

reaches the plant roots. Materials that are 

too coarse may be incapable of holding sufficient 

amounts of water to benefit the soil. 

•Nutrients: Humus is an organic component 

of soil that forms when leaves and 

other plant materials decompose. Organic 

mulches provide humus and decompose 

over time, adding nutrients into the soil. 

•Application: Correct application of the

mulch is essential. Applying too much 

mulch can adversely affect lawns, plants 

and soil. In addition, excessive application 

can cause decay and make lawns and 

plants more vulnerable to disease.

Spring is in the air and garbage is on the ground 

Signs of spring are everywhere. Song 

birds are camped on branches making 

beautiful music, neighbors you haven’t 

seen for weeks are emerging from their 

caves with smiles and optimistic moods, 

trees are ready to explode with foliage, and 

the chemical lawn spraying game is in full 

swing insuring homeowners will be mowing 

every few days for the coming months. 

The most convincing sign was my annual 

sighting of the porta potties being delivered 

to Murfin Fields. Yes, spring is in the air, 

literally, bringing back memories of that 

saying, ‘springtime in the cow pasture.’ 

I’m like most people, at least in a few 

ways. I enjoy the changing season, especially 

after a rough winter. But spring has 

never been my favorite season. I just don’t 

enjoy the long changeover period until it 

fully takes over from the winter blahs, the 

period when things haven’t fully bloomed, 

there’s mud everywhere, and every day 

seems to have high winds so no matter 

what you wear, you’re either too cold or 

hot. But the worst thing is the garbage. It’s 

always there, it just seems so much more 

pronounced in early spring, before emerging 

vegetation later hides it. A big part of 

spring is just plain ugly to me. Almost 

everywhere I go or look there’s highly visible 

garbage. 

I’ll start at home. There’s a street that 

runs west/east running up to our backyard 

fence. When people along that street place 

their weekly garbage out for pickup, the 

fence inevitably ends up getting a significant 

portion of it, directly proportional to 

any weather fronts that blast through the 

area. The prevailing winds are often like 

something out of the “Wizard of Oz.” They 

send trash sailing down the street and into 

our fence. Too often people put their 

garbage out for pickup without any 

thoughts of securing, even when high wind 

warnings have been issued well in 

advance. 

By spring, the fence is stacked with a 

full range of garbage trophies. You’d be 

amazed at the assortment of items that pile 

up. Over the years, too many of the 

dwellers from the multiple apartments on 

the other side of the fence have contributed 

to the mess throwing cans, fast food containers 

and an assortment of other classics 

out of their parked cars. The apartment 

landlords make absolutely no attempt to 

keep garbage cleared from the apartment 

complexes, apparently assuming the 

renters will handle it. They don’t, the landlords 

don’t, and I can’t stand looking at it. 

So, it defaults to my responsibility after I 

reach the point where I can’t stand looking 

at it any longer. I hop over the fence a few 

times a year and do the disgusting job of 

filling numerous garbage bags to put out 

for collection. 

This brings up the topic of those tacky 

bright orange recycling containers. It’s 

great they have secure lids that have 

helped reduce recycle material from being 

routinely distributed across the landscape 

as happened with the open-topped recycle 

bins we previously had. However, they sure 

are ugly. You can spot one a mile away. If 

the goal was to make them visible for some 

reason, they’ve accomplished that and 

more. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 

International Space Station could spot 

them. They do nothing to help the aesthetic 

quality of a neighborhood unless you’re 

really into bright orange and probably also 

enjoy orange barrel construction zones. I’m 

not sure what the process was for selecting 

the colors, but I would have voted for a 

deep forest green container with a small 

orange recycle indicator on it. 

As with most everything these days, 

there are guidelines in the city code for 

placing trash out, now including those 

recycle containers. But, as with many of 

the countless codes, too often they’re not 

realized or just ignored by some homeowners 

and rarely enforced. 

Trash theoretically starts gravitating 

out to the curbside the day before pickup. 

Then, most of the emptied barrels begin 

slowly making their way back to their hiding 

places after collection, but still a good 

portion the day after. That’s three days out 

of the seven day week. You’re fortunate if 

you live where they all go out and back on 

garbage day. There’s been one of those 

bright orange barrels sitting out on the 

curb down the road for over three weeks 

now. It takes just one sighting to totally 

blemish an otherwise pretty neighborhood. 

I read where complaints over unsolicited 

home delivered paper items has resulted in 

yet another city code ordinance. New 

guidelines say materials are no longer to be 

just thrown out of car delivery windows, 

only to get blown about and end up in 

yards, streets and clog up storm drains. 

I’ve seen the problem while walking about. 

Hopefully the new guidelines will help. I 

suspect heavy winds will still cause inadvertent 

unintended blowing consequences 

that might unfairly penalize the distributors 

with fines, assuming the ordinance is 

even enforced. 

Perhaps a public relations emphasis 

highlighting our garbage concerns might 

help. Our already active and successful 

Keep Grove City Beautiful Committee 

could work in concert with the new 

Environmental Sustainable Committee 

Council that’s being created. Maybe just 

pushing it to the forefront will create more 

neighborhood pride resulting in residents 

taking a few seconds to routinely pick 

garbage up from their lawns or the street 

in front of them, keeping the storm sewer 

Think twice before you buy a bunny this Easter 

Buying live bunnies as an Easter present 

for a child is not a good idea unless 

you are willing to commit to 10 years of 

providing food, exercise, socialization and 

overlooking gnaw marks on most everything. 

That little ball of fur with the tiny ears 

and a cotton puff tail can melt your heart. 

A baby bunny in a basket on Easter morning 

could be the pinnacle of a holiday celebration. 

But it is not a good idea. 

At this time of the year, rabbits are 

everywhere. They appear in television commercials 

and on packages of candy. Stores 

are filled with stuffed rabbits, candy rabbits 

and ceramic rabbits. It is no surprise 

children beg their parents for a real bunny 

of their own, but ill-prepared to care for 

Places - By Linda Dillman 

these bunnies, owners often quickly tire of 

them. 

While baby bunnies grow up into still 

adorable adult rabbits, they have their own 

set of needs. Because they are prey animals, 

they generally don’t like to be handled, 

but, at the same time, crave interaction 

and can be quite playful. 

They need exercise space and, like cats 

and dogs, need to be neutered or spayed. 

Unlike dogs, which are happy with the 

same chow day in and out, rabbits need a 

balanced diet of hay, greens and fresh veggies–not 

just a bag of compressed pellets 

from the local big box store. 

What happens after a bunny grows into 

adulthood or loses its allure after a couple 

of months? They go the way of unwanted 

pets–taken to a neighborhood shelter or 

set loose in the back yard. In the months 

following the holiday, humane societies 

and rabbit rescues are flooded with rabbits. 

These are the “lucky” ones. 

The unlucky ones are dumped outside 

where predators, cars, illness and injury 

virtually guarantee an early death for a 

creature that could have life expectancy as 

long as a large dog. Domestic rabbits are 

not wild rabbits and do not the skills to 

survive in the wild. 

That is why I want to warn people 

against making a quick decision about 

bringing a live bunny home for Easter. 

My best advice? Still buy a bunny, but 

make it chocolate.

Guest Column 

Dave Burton 

at the curb clear, the 

recycle containers 

out of sight, or the 

overgrown bushes 

trimmed away from 

the sidewalks. I’m 

always bewildered 

when I walk by an 

obviously occupied 

home and see weeks of weathered delivered 

papers laying in a yard or driveway and a 

gaudy sign that says, “Stay Off the Grass.” 

Attitude is the key to success for most 

anything. We need to get a buy-in that 

keeping our community garbage-free is 

everyone’s concern and job, not someone 

else’s. We need to draw on community 

pride. Do we always need to demand a new 

ordinance for everything when a little 

prideful focus and effort might solve 

things? 

For years, I’ve walked by Murfin Fields 

the day after they’ve completed their big 

post-season football tournament. It’s so 

embarrassing to view all the garbage 

strewn across the entire complex. There’s 

everything ranging from dirty diapers, beer 

cans, bottles, fast food containers, to broken 

chairs abandoned coolers and broken 

umbrellas. The attitude must be, “someone 

will pick it up”. They do. I’ve talked with 

the groundskeeper. It takes a few days and 

hopefully no big winds hit the area before 

finished, else some of it ends up in the 

already garbage strewn stream and surrounding 

neighborhoods. It’s the same scenario 

during and after the annual Alumni 

Softball Tournament games in July. 

As that Forest Service saying with 

Woodsie Owl says, “Give a Hoot Don’t 

Pollute.” Let’s all keep the garbage in our 

town picked up and those awful recycle 

containers out of view as much as possible.

Township Focus 

Pleasant Township to partner with LifeCare Alliance 

By Josh Jordan 

Staff Writer 

A recent vote of approval from the board 

of trustees means the Pleasant Township 

fire departments will soon have a new partner 

to help residents. 

Lifecare Alliance has partnered with 

Pleasant Township to offer services at little 

to no cost to residents. 

“I think it’s a great program. I think it’s 

something that can benefit the township,” 

said Fire Chief Brian Taylor. “It’s no cost to 

the township.” 

The program helps people with diabetes 

management, offers meals-on-wheels, 

home safety services and partners with the 

Columbus Cancer Clinic to offer free or discounted 

cancer screenings. 

“Lifecare’s folks will come in and train 

our guys on what to look for and how to get 

in touch with them and how to get the residents 

the services they need and that’s 

really all there is to it,” said Taylor. 

Training will take place in April and as 

soon as personnel are trained, they will 

start referring residents to the service. 

Residents can 

also contact Lifecare 

Alliance directly at 

614-437-2912 or at 

lifecarealliance.org/referral. 

The trustees have also approved the 

hire of a chaplain for the Pleasant 

Township Fire Department. 

Larry Baker has been offered the position 

and would be the first chaplain to 

serve the department. Baker is a retired 

captain of the Upper Arlington fire department 

and even helped out on a call that 

came in during his interview. 

“I told Larry flat out that I didn’t want

Firefighters to host Easter event 

The Pleasant Township Fire Department will host 

its annual Easter Egg Hunt from 1 to 3 p.m. April 20 

at 5373 Norton Road in Grove City. The event will feature 

activities for children and a visit from the Royals.

somebody that was just going to be here for 

prayers and dinners,” said Taylor. “I want 

somebody who’s active in the department 

and who knows the guys and can help us 

out.” 

In other news, the dates for the Pleasant 

Township spring clean-up were approved 

for April 26 and 27. Times will be determined 

and posted on the township website 

in the coming days. 

Hydrant flushing in JT 

The Jackson Township Fire Department will begin 

its annual hydrant flushing program on May 13. The 

program will be conducted Monday through Friday 

from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, until all areas of the 

township have been completed. It is expected that the 

flushing will take two to four weeks. 

Hydrant flushing may cause water to become rusty 

and to appear discolored. Although the water is not 

harmful to drink, it can cause discoloration of laundry. 

There are products, available at most area pharmacies 

and grocery stores, which should remove the rust from 

clothing if discolored when washed in the rusty water. 

For more information, call the fire department at 

614-875-5588.

In Entertainment 

Dumbo’s cuteness saves this muddled mess 

The expression ‘so and so elevates the material’ 

speaks of a remarkable performance in an otherwise 

dull movie, play or television show. Traditionally, this 

statement is in reference to a human actor but the latest 

Disney film makes the case that it can also encompass 

computer creations. 

In “Dumbo,” an expanded live-action adaptation of 

an animated classic, it is the digital pachyderm that 

makes the show. While I suspect that was not the 

entire intention, this elephant doll made on an assembly 

line gone wrong is the saving grace in this muddled 

mess of a film. 

Taking place post World War I, “Dumbo” centers on 

a struggling troupe of circus performers. Like the rest 

of the country, their circus has fallen onto hard times 

and drastic cuts to its operations have had to be made. 

One such casualty is to the equine act led by the famed 

Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell), who only learns of this 

decision after he returns from serving overseas. 

With two children to take care of — his wife died of 

influenza, of course — Holt begs circus owner Max 

Medici (Danny DeVito) to find him a new place where 

he can work and train animals. As luck would have it, 

there is an opening tending to the elephants but Holt 

is less than thrilled with this news. 

One of his first tasks is to tend to the pregnant elephant 

Jumbo and then prepare the baby for display. 

When they discover that the calf’s ears are wildly disproportionate 

to its body, however, it falls on him to 

figure out how to keep the circus from becoming a 

national laughing stock. As luck wouldn’t have it, 

things quickly go awry. 

During its first public unveiling, the calf is swaddled 

in baby elephant gear complete with a stroller. As 

he is paraded around in front of the masses, he sneezes 

in a feather and appears to fly backward. While Holt’s 

children, Milly and Joe (played by Nico Parker and 

Finley Hobbins, respectively) told him about this magical 

feat, he is more concerned by the awful reaction 

from the crowd who jeer the calf’s ears. In the ensuing 

melee, Jumbo gets protective and an accident befalls 

“Shrek the Musical” 

at Franklin Heights 

Messenger photo by Dedra Cordle 

After months of rehearsals, costume fittings 

and finding the perfect shade of 

green, the theater department at 

Franklin Heights High School is ready to 

present “Shrek the Musical” to the 

masses. Shown here (from left to right) 

are principal actors Jacob Harding 

(Lord Farquaad), Tara Schwartz (Fiona), 

Austin Eldridge (the Bishop), Tyler 

Slussar (Shrek) and J’Von Jones 

(Donkey) during a marriage scene. 

“Shrek the Musical” will be held at the 

school, located at 1001 Demorest Road, 

on April 12 at 7 p.m. and April 13 at 2 

p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $3 for children 

and seniors, and $7 for adults and 

can be purchased at the door. 

The Reel Deal - By Dedra Cordle 

the big tent. Mother and son are separated in the 

aftermath, and the kids make a deal with the newly 

named Dumbo: perform in the circus and they’ll buy 

his mother back. 

What follows is a sanitized version of how animals 

were trained and treated in (some) circuses, a push by 

a wealthy entrepreneur (Michael Keaton) of dubious 

intent to merge the two entertainment ventures, and 

actors who are clearly not used to performing with CGI 

animals, particularly flying baby elephants. Their 

interactions remind me of the ‘Be Our Guest’ number 

in the live-action Beauty and the Beast where Belle 

“performs” with the talking pottery and furniture. 

While they are not as stiff as the actress in that scene, 

the ones in Dumbo are not as fluid as they could, or 

should, have been either. 

Clocking in around 1 hour and 50 minutes, 

“Dumbo” can be a bit of a slog to get through. It doesn’t 

help that plot threads are picked up and dropped off, 

nor does it help that the human characters are underdeveloped; 

If you’re going to make a movie about a flying 

elephant but put the focus on the humans, at least 

make them interesting. There is also a weird subplot 

about the dangers of capitalism, which coming from 

Disney is just laughable. I don’t know if the studio 

missed that current from writer Ehren Kruger and 

director Tim Burton, or if they just thought it was a 

cute inside joke but it’s just another oddity in this 

tonally odd movie. 

While “Dumbo” is neither good nor bad, there are 

cute moments, especially when it comes to its star, the 

digital pachyderm. The creators did a wonderful job 

with bringing this computer graphic to life and you 

can’t help but be enamored with his floppy ears, tubby 

body and emotional eyes. If there is one thing to take 

away from this film, it is that elephants are special 

creatures who deserve the best in life, and better 

movies. Grade: C

Louis is a wiggly guy. 

He can be a little on 

the timid side at first, 

but seems to warm 

quickly. He loves to 

get attention and will 

be your very best 

friend forever. He can 

be a little unsure of 

other dogs and may do best as the only dog 

in the home, or must meet any potential furry 

friends before adoption. Come meet Louis 

today at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. 

FYI: 614-525-3647 or www.franklincountydogs.com 

Olive is as sweet as 

can be. She is a 

smart lady as she 

knows sit, shake with 

both paws, and can 

gently sit up. She 

walks great on leash 

and enjoys her time 

outside. She’s just looking for someone to 

love on. Olive is up for adoption at the Franklin 

County Dog Shelter. 


These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 

Blue is a big baby. He 

might have a loud 

bark, but just wants to 

play all day. He could 

play for hours with 

toys, even by himself. 

He’s a sweet, handsome 

pooch in search of his forever family. He 

walks well with a harness lead, always checking 

in to see where he should go next. He’s a 

gentle boy ready to find the perfect home. 


Regina is a spirited 

gal. She’ll chase any 

ball you throw for 

miles and keep her 

tail wagging as she 

goes. Regina is looking 

for a family that 

can match her energetic 

lifestyle and maybe a furry friend in her 

new home. If you’re looking for a girl who’s 

always got a positive attitude, you can’t find a 

better match than Regina. Adopt her from the 

Franklin County shelter. 



Running with 

adoptable dogs 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and 

Adoption Center has announced a new 

program where individuals who like to run 

can take dogs from the shelter, transport 

them to the Columbus Park of Roses, and 

run for six miles with a companion. 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter 

Running Club not only allows for the dogs 

to leave the shelter for a period of time, 

which is proven to benefit both their physical 

and emotional well-being, but also 

gives the runner motivation and companionship 

on the trail. 

Initially this program is only open to 

current, trained volunteers at the shelter 

and will occur before or after the shelter’s 

open hours. Dogs participating in the program 

have been identified by shelter staff. 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter 

Running Club will be open for community 

participation in the coming months. 

Contact the shelter if your running group 

is interested in joining the program. 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and 

Adoption Center is located at 4340 

Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus and is 

opened Monday through Friday from 11 

a.m. to 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on 

Saturday and Sunday. For more information,

the value of their service
