Staff Writer<br />
The financial outlook for the South-<br />
Western City Schools District continues to<br />
be steady.<br />
At the <strong>May</strong> 13 board of education meeting,<br />
Treasurer Hugh Garside gave his<br />
summarization of the five-year financial<br />
forecast and stated that the district is in<br />
better shape than previously indicated.<br />
“We are in a better financial position<br />
than what was indicated in the five-year<br />

The first annual Color Guard Day took<br />
place on <strong>May</strong> 11 at Central Crossing<br />
High School where more than 50 budding<br />
students learned the basics of this<br />
performing art. For six hours, instructors<br />
from the school led novice to<br />
advance lessons on the types of skills<br />
involved and then encouraged them to<br />
showcase their skills to an encouraging<br />
crowd. Shown above, Color Guard Tech<br />

forecast presented in October,” he said.<br />
According to Garside, the district is 2.6<br />
percent above estimate on revenue and 1<br />
percent below estimate in expenditures.<br />
“That indicates to me that we are staying<br />
the course (financially) while still providing<br />
a quality education for our students,”<br />
he said.<br />
If there is one cause for concern, however,<br />
Garside said it is the upcoming biennial<br />
budgets.<br />
“Not only do we need to keep our eye on<br />
what is taking place with this upcoming<br />
budget, but we also need to watch the budget<br />
that is coming in two years,” he said.<br />
“The reason why this needs to be monitored<br />
closely is because we receive roughly<br />
60 percent of our funding from the state.”<br />
Though the budget has yet to be voted<br />
upon, Garside believes it will be favorable<br />
to the district.<br />
“While we do not know what the official<br />
allocation will be, from what we have seen<br />
the district will be treated fairly.”<br />
In addition to state funds, the district<br />
will continue to receive roughly $3 million<br />
in taxes from the Hollywood Casino.<br />
The forecast that was presented estimates<br />
that the district’s revenue in fiscal<br />
years <strong>2019</strong>, 2020 and 2021 will be $278<br />
million, $279 million and $282 million,<br />
respectively.<br />
The district will continue to see a rise in<br />
expenditures throughout the five-year forecast.<br />
The biggest expense for the district is<br />
personnel services, which primarily consist<br />
of salaries and wages. Garside said roughly<br />
80 percent of the district’s expenditures are<br />
for personnel services.<br />
Purchased services are predicted to<br />

at comments@grovecityohio.gov or deliver<br />
in person to City Hall, 4035 Broadway.<br />
Fresh produce to be distributed<br />
Free fresh fruit and vegetables will be<br />
distributed on June 8 to qualified, lowincome<br />
Franklin County residents. The<br />
fresh produce will be available at Central<br />
Baptist Church, 1955 Frank Road, beginning<br />
at 10:30 a.m. To assist in registration,<br />
bring a photo ID and your current address<br />
in Franklin County. For more information,<br />
call 614-279-3115 or visit www.centralbaptistcolumbus.org.<br />
S.A.L.T. at Evans Center<br />
The Grove City Division of Police host<br />
Seniors and Law Enforcement Together<br />
(S.A.L.T.) meetings at 1 p.m. the second<br />
Tuesday of each month at the Evans<br />
Center, 4330 Dudley Ave. Adults of all ages<br />

or call 614-277-1765.<br />
increase roughly 2 percent to 2.5 percent<br />
over the term of the forecast, as are supplies<br />
and materials. Garside said one of the<br />
reasons for the jump in the cost of supplies<br />
and materials are due to a technology<br />
replacement cycle and the replacement of<br />
textbooks.<br />
“In regards to the textbook replacement<br />
cycle, much of the increase is due to inflation,”<br />
he said.<br />
Garside said he believes as the district<br />
moves more toward the use of<br />
Chromebooks, the purchase of physical<br />
textbooks may become obsolete in the<br />
future.<br />
“That is something many districts have<br />
been talking about,” he said.<br />
The price of fuel is being closely monitored<br />
as well, with the forecast projecting<br />
that one-fifth of the overall supplies and<br />
materials budget stems from the cost of<br />
fuel. According to the financial report,<br />
every 30 cent increase in the price per gallon<br />
of fuel represents roughly $130,000 in<br />
increased cost annually.<br />
The forecast presented estimates that<br />
the cost of expenditures for the fiscal years<br />
<strong>2019</strong>, 2020 and 2021 is $256 million, $272<br />
million and $286.6 million, respectively.<br />
The district will continue to maintain a<br />
positive cash balance throughout the term<br />
of the forecast. It estimates the district will<br />
have a positive cash balance of $200 million,<br />
$206 million and $201 million in fiscal<br />
years <strong>2019</strong>, 2020, and 2021. Garside said<br />
having a positive cash balance is vital to<br />
the health of a district as it can keep them<br />
afloat in uncertain times.<br />
“It can help a district weather any storm<br />
that may come down the pike,” he said.

Thank You!<br />
Amy Schakat, coordinator of careertechnical<br />
education for the South-Western<br />
City Schools District, said employers are<br />
looking for skilled workers and the South-<br />
Western Career Academy has trained students<br />
who would fit the bill. There is just<br />
one barrier.<br />
“That barrier is transportation,” said<br />
Schakat.<br />
Schakat addressed Grove City Council<br />
at the <strong>May</strong> 6 meeting to show her support<br />
for a ride sharing pilot program proposed<br />
by COTA. Council had its first reading to<br />
appropriate $180,000 from the general<br />
fund for COTA’s proposed On-Demand<br />
Micro-Transit Service.<br />
The micro-transit service would allow<br />
residents to use a mobile app or call to<br />
arrange for a COTA vehicle to pick them up<br />
either at home for a fee or from a COTA bus<br />
stop for free. According to Elliott Doza,<br />
project manager for COTA, this program<br />
would be like Uber or Lyft, but within a<br />
defined zone. Zone one would cover Mount<br />
Carmel Grove City, businesses in South<br />
Park and along State Route 665, Mid-Ohio<br />
Foodbank and the Grove City Park and<br />
Ride.<br />
“We chose Grove City because it is a<br />
growing community,” said Doza.<br />
According to Doza, COTA would like to<br />
launch zone one in July. The service would<br />
operate seven days a week. On weekdays,<br />
the service would run from 5:30 a.m. to 7<br />
p.m. and on weekends and holidays the service<br />
would run from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.<br />
This would be a one-year pilot program<br />
that would run from July 15, <strong>2019</strong> to July<br />
14, 2020. The cost to launch zone one is<br />
estimated at $360,000 with Grove City and<br />
COTA splitting the cost. The cost would<br />
cover the service set-up, management,<br />
marketing and maintenance.<br />
COTA also plans to launch a second<br />

The City Beat<br />
Businesses see benefit to proposed micro-transit program<br />
Public parks input meeting<br />
Parks are important to a community’s<br />
quality of life, contributing significantly to<br />
its economic and environmental well-being.<br />
Living near a park is linked to better physical<br />
and mental health.<br />
The city of Grove City offers nearly two<br />
dozen parks with a variety of amenities to<br />
improve the quality of life of its citizens<br />
and visitors.<br />
Grove City is gathering input for new<br />
parks in the Pinnacle area and on the former<br />
grounds of Beulah Park with assistance<br />
from MKSK Studios, a landscape<br />
architecture, urban design and planning<br />
firm that worked on the award-winning<br />
Scioto Greenways in downtown Columbus.<br />
All community members are invited to<br />
view a presentation and share ideas at<br />
visioning stations regarding the development<br />
of the parks including possible<br />
amenities at a public meeting from 6:30 to<br />
8 p.m., Tuesday, <strong>May</strong> 21 in Grove City<br />
Hall, 4035 Broadway.<br />
For additional information on the meeting,<br />
contact the Grove City Parks and<br />
Recreation Department at 614-277-3050.<br />
around the southwest<br />
zone, which would include the South-<br />
Western Career Academy, downtown<br />
Grove City, the village of Urbancrest and<br />
the Evans Senior Center. The cost to implement<br />
the second zone would be an additional<br />
$130,000.<br />
Schakat said the school district offers 18<br />
career technical programs and the students<br />
in those programs are ready to work.<br />
“They just need transportation,” said<br />
Schakat. “This program would solve that<br />
problem.”<br />
Jason Koma, with Mount Carmel Grove<br />
City, also addressed council and urged<br />
them to vote in favor of the micro-transit<br />
program.<br />
“It is critical to provide access to the hospital,”<br />
said Koma. “It would help not only<br />
the employees, but also visitors.”<br />
Grove City <strong>May</strong>or Richard “Ike” Stage<br />
said this pilot program could have an<br />
impact on all central Ohio. He also said the<br />
city’s administration had reached out to<br />
the employers that would benefit from this<br />
program to see if there was a willingness to<br />
share in the cost.<br />
There are still questions regarding the<br />
micro-transit service.<br />
“I do not know if this is cost effective,”<br />
said councilman Ted Berry, when Uber and<br />
Lyft offer the same service but cover the<br />
entire city and the city doesn’t have to<br />
spend $180,000.<br />
The second reading and public hearing<br />
for the COTA pilot program proposal is<br />
scheduled for <strong>May</strong> 20. Council meetings<br />
begin at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 4035<br />
Broadway.<br />
Career and Job Fair<br />
The city of Grove City and the Grove<br />
City Area Chamber of Commerce are collaborating<br />
to sponsor a Career and Job<br />
Fair, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. <strong>May</strong> 30, at<br />
Aladdin Shrine Center, 1801 Gateway<br />
Circle, Grove City.<br />
“We’ve assembled a variety of Grove<br />
City businesses hoping to connect with<br />
candidates seeking a career in one of the<br />
best hometowns in central Ohio,” said<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Richard “Ike” Stage. “We are looking<br />
forward to this event and proud of our<br />
continuing partnership with the chamber.”<br />
Central Ohio job seekers are encouraged<br />
to attend and meet with hiring managers,<br />
learn about available positions and explore<br />
career options. Nearly 40 Grove City<br />
employers are gearing up to meet with participants.<br />
Come prepared with a resume<br />
highlighting your skills and experience.<br />
“This is a key opportunity for our local<br />
employers to recruit quality talent,” said<br />

Pavilion opens in Urbancrest<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The prospect of a prolonged construction project<br />
taking place near their homes would not thrill most<br />
residents, but the one that was slated to be built adjacent<br />
to hers had Vera Ziglar-Zimmerman buzzing with<br />
anticipation.<br />
For years, the village of Urbancrest resident had<br />
been hoping to see the construction of an enclosed shelter<br />
house in the community and for years had been<br />
denied that opportunity. She was tired, she said, of<br />
having to look outside of the area for an affordable<br />
place to host family gatherings and celebrations, and<br />
especially tired of having to host them at the open shelter<br />
house at Martin Luther King Park.<br />
“We would all be packed into that little space with<br />
bugs flying around us and our food, and sometimes the<br />
rain would be coming in at us,” she said.<br />
So when she heard that council had approved the<br />
construction of an enclosed shelter house in 2016, she<br />
was beyond ecstatic.<br />
“I was so pleased to learn we were finally getting<br />
one,” she said.<br />
The initial groundbreaking<br />
was pushed back due to<br />
inclement weather, but when<br />
they finally put those shovels on<br />
the dirt in the summer of 2017,<br />
Ziglar-Zimmerman was right<br />
there watching.<br />
As the months went by, she<br />
continued to observe the construction<br />
process, becoming<br />
more and more excited as the<br />
building took shape. And when it<br />
appeared the exterior structure<br />
was finished, there was no word<br />
as to when it would open.<br />
What happened to cause the<br />
long delay, said village <strong>May</strong>or<br />
Joseph Barnes Sr., was a plethora<br />
of issues stemming from the construction company<br />
the council had hired to undertake the project.<br />
“It was a bit of a mess for a while,” he said.<br />
It began, he explained, when contractors expressed<br />
their discomfort at some of the material requests the<br />
company, Palmetto Construction Services, was making.<br />
Then came the firing of the first site manager who,<br />
Barnes said, had expressed similar complaints.<br />
Shortly thereafter, the two parties went into arbitration<br />
and the company defaulted in <strong>2019</strong>. The<br />
<strong>Messenger</strong> reached out to the last known number and<br />
email address for comment on these allegations, but<br />
the line was not connected and the email bounced<br />
back.<br />
Despite the headaches and delays, Barnes said<br />
there was a dogged determination to have the opening<br />
of the pavilion take place as soon as it was safely possible.<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 3, that day finally came with the grand<br />
opening of the Quinichett Pavilion, which was named<br />
in honor of Samuel and Ella Quinichett, the first<br />
African American family to settle in the village.<br />
Barnes said though the construction of the pavilion<br />
was an unexpectedly long and exhaustive process, it<br />
stands as an example of the spirit and perseverance of<br />
the community.<br />
“Sometimes you end up walking on the rough side of<br />
the mountain and when you reach the top it is smooth<br />
sailing on the other side,” he said during the ceremony.<br />
Though there are some drainage and sound issues<br />
that still need to be worked on, Barnes said the million<br />
dollar pavilion is now open for business.<br />
“We’ve already got people signed up and lined up (to<br />
use the building),” he said.<br />
While Ziglar-Zimmerman has yet to add her name<br />
to that list — she primarily plans to attend graduation<br />
celebrations and family gatherings this summer — she<br />
said she was thrilled with the end result.<br />
“It was a long time coming but it was worth it,” she<br />
said. “It looks beautiful and it’s so exciting to have this<br />
in our community.”

Making<br />
a pitch<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The four high school teams vying to<br />
take top honors in the business concept<br />
competition known as Pitch Night were<br />
prepared to fail.<br />
It was not that they wanted to, mind<br />
you, it was just that these 14 seniors have<br />
become accustomed to the prospect since<br />
joining the Innovation and<br />
Entrepreneurship program at the South-<br />
Western City Schools District.<br />
“Our ideas get shot down a lot,” said<br />
Westland student Brandon Vargas.<br />
For instance, Vargas and his fellow<br />
classmates Omar Abdi and Haley Hall<br />
have been trying to perfect their business<br />
concept of a solar powered cellular phone<br />
case that is capable of charging batteries<br />
and offering protection against damaging<br />
drops.<br />
In their quest for product betterment,<br />
they reached out to several companies<br />
that they believed could offer sound advice<br />
or even help them create a physical product.<br />
They were rebuffed at every turn.<br />
“It was a bit discouraging,” said Hall.<br />
“It’s like adults don’t want to take you<br />
or your idea seriously,” said Vargas. “All<br />
we wanted was some feedback and most<br />
didn’t even give us the time of day or<br />
respond to our emails.”<br />
Through the lessons laid out in their<br />
program, the trio knew the importance of<br />
pushing through with your idea, and it<br />
was not just because they were being graded<br />
on the product and their business acumen.<br />
“It was something we believed it,” said<br />
Vargas. “We just had to keep adapting<br />
until our idea became viable.”<br />
In addition to wanting to score a top<br />
grade in their class, they also wanted to<br />
earn the right to compete at the state level<br />
with their idea, which they did earlier this<br />
year.<br />
“They placed seventh in the state,” said<br />
Kevin Peters, a business and technology<br />
teacher.<br />
With that accomplished, they set their<br />
sights on Pitch Night, an event where a<br />
panel of business professional determine<br />
which top team from each of the high<br />
schools had the best potential for a business<br />
startup.<br />
“Unfortunately at this point, the winners<br />
do not get a financial reward or<br />
internship,” said Amy Schakat, the district’s<br />
coordinator of career technical education.<br />
“Just school bragging rights.”<br />
<strong>Messenger</strong> photo by Dedra Cordle<br />
Westland High School seniors Omar Abdi, Brandon Vargas and Haley Hall took first place at the district’s third annual Pitch Night<br />
for their business concept SolCase. The students in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship program said SolCase is a solar powered<br />
cellular phone case that is capable of charging batteries and providing protection against damaging drops. Pictured here from left<br />
to right is Omar Abdi, judges Dr. Heidi Stevenson, Tim Roe, and Dan Havener, and Brandon Vargas and Haley Hall.<br />
Though most admit they would have<br />
liked a contract for their business concept,<br />
they agreed bragging rights was enough for<br />
now.<br />
“We all want to win for our schools,” said<br />
Savion Golden, a senior at Franklin<br />
Heights.<br />
The first presentation was from Ashigan<br />
Ali, Brittany Hanson, Luis Olivo and Jose<br />
Martinez at Central Crossing who pitched<br />
an app called $.M.A.R.T (or Saving Money,<br />
Assisting Reliable Tips). According to the<br />
team, the app helps people track how much<br />
money they make, how much they can<br />
spend, and how their money could be better<br />
managed.<br />
The second presentation was from<br />
Golden, Kianna Jackson and Shareka<br />
Jones who pitched a product called Grease<br />
Glove. According to the team from Franklin<br />
Heights, the “lightweight silicone glove” is<br />
meant to protect fast food workers from<br />
getting “popped by grease.”<br />
“As you can see, it’s a big problem,”<br />
Golden said, pointing to all of the Band-<br />
Aids covering his arms.<br />
The fast food worker said he is tired of<br />
getting splashed by grease and his team’s<br />
market research indicated the same.<br />
“Eighty percent of the people we interviewed<br />
said getting popped by grease was<br />
problematic.”<br />
He said this glove did not negatively<br />
affect the tasks of the workers and added<br />
that it was good business practice to wear<br />
them.<br />
“It would cut down on worker’s comp.”<br />
The third presentation was from DJ<br />
Neff, James Marvin and Blake Sahr from<br />
Grove City who pitched UpNext Sports<br />
Camp, a database which allows young athletes<br />
to connect with sports camps that best<br />
fit their abilities.<br />
Marvin said they are just focusing on<br />
local camps at this time but have received<br />
excellent feedback from sports camps who<br />
were interested in their budding product.<br />
“There are millions of young athletes out<br />
there looking for the right camp to go to,”<br />
he said. “Our product would put them in<br />
touch with the right fit for them.”<br />
The last presentation was from the team<br />
at Westland who pitched SolCase, the solar<br />
powered cellular phone case that would be<br />
made from recycled parts.<br />
“Our product will be very eco-friendly,”<br />
said Hall.<br />
After all of the pitches took place, the<br />
judging panel said they had a hard time<br />
determining the best business concept.<br />
“They were all so different and presented<br />
so well,” said Dr. Heidi Stevenson. “I<br />
think they all deserved to win.”<br />
Schakat said she too was impressed by<br />
the ideas from the students.<br />
“There was a lot of variety,” she said. “In<br />
the past there have been a lot of apps<br />
pitched — which is a great thing — but these<br />
teams had products that seemed more personal<br />
to their lives and their challenges.”<br />
Ultimately, only one team could be chosen<br />
as the winner of Pitch Night and that<br />
was the team from Westland.<br />
“We’re really excited,” said Vargas. “It’s<br />
a great feeling to know that other people<br />
like your idea.”<br />
Their win marked the first time a team<br />
from Westland has received the top honor<br />
at Pitch Night (Grove City won in its inaugural<br />
year; Central Crossing the following).<br />
Schakat said she hopes the recognition and<br />
friendly competition will propel more students<br />
to take an interest in the Innovation<br />
and Entrepreneurship program.<br />
“It really is one of the district’s more<br />
unique career pathways,” she said. “They<br />
are taught that there is no right way or<br />
wrong way to create a business concept and<br />
it allows them to be free to fail, so to<br />
speak.”

A mother’s heartfelt<br />
letter to her soldier son, 1919<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Southeast Editor<br />
Imagine yourself as a soldier stationed<br />
overseas in those first few weeks after the<br />
end of World War I. You’re eager to go<br />
home, but until you are discharged your<br />
only tangible contact to home is by letter.<br />
One hundred years ago, in the days<br />
before someone overseas could be contacted<br />
instantly by telephone, or through the various<br />
forms of the Internet, the written<br />
word in the form of ink on paper was the<br />
main way to reach out to a faraway loved<br />
one.<br />
Letters from home to those in the military<br />
who fought in World War I in Europe<br />
could take days or weeks to reach their destination.<br />
Then those on the home front, in<br />
turn, waited days or weeks for a reply.<br />
One such letter from home to a<br />
Groveport soldier in 1919 recently was<br />
donated to the Groveport Heritage<br />
Museum by the Westerville Public Library<br />
after it was found in the library’s files.<br />
The letter, written by his mother, was<br />
sent to her U.S. Army private son, who was<br />
in the 37th Division, and was dated, “From<br />
home at Groveport, O., Jan. 13, 1919.”<br />
World War I had ended Nov. 11, 1918,<br />
and the family was eagerly awaiting his<br />
return home. In flowing script handwriting,<br />
his mother writes, “We are growing<br />
impatient waiting for you and no doubt you<br />
boys are the same. I hope you are comfortably<br />
quartered and it is not so cold there.”<br />
She described how things were at home<br />
to her son, noting that the Ohio winter had<br />
been “ideal” so far and noting, “A few days<br />
were cold, six above zero is the coldest day<br />
we’ve had. Just three light snows, scarcely<br />
enough to cover the ground. We can pull a<br />
turnip up out in the garden and it is as<br />
crisp as early fall.” She added that the<br />
weather recently was nice enough for her<br />
to dry clothes outside on the line because it<br />
was like “a summer day.”<br />
She told her son that she won’t tell him<br />
about everything that’s happened at home<br />
in the year and a half he’s been away<br />
because she wants him to have some surprises<br />
when he comes home.<br />
She wrote about others her son knew<br />
from the community who served in the war<br />
noting that one wounded fellow, “is home<br />
for a while now, but will go back as soon as<br />
he recovers. He was in that bunch of 1,200<br />
in that Argonne Woods battle...150 came<br />
out and he was gassed three times and got<br />
some slight wounds.”<br />
Referencing newspaper accounts of the<br />
time, she wrote that a “bunch of wounded<br />
soldiers landed (in America) on Dec. 20...It<br />
is a pitiful sight to see our once perfect<br />
specimens of boys now hobbling along with<br />
one leg or some member of their body<br />
gone.”<br />
As the letter closes, she wrote, “I can<br />
hardly wait for the day when I see you<br />
come marching home” and she described a<br />
potential welcome home meal that awaited<br />
him as “roast ribs, dressing, mashed potatoes<br />
and gravy, kidney beans, marshmallow<br />
salad, cherry and custard pie, cake<br />
cookies, pickles, strawberry preserves,<br />
bread, butter, coffee, tea, milk, salt and<br />
pepper, and toothpicks.”<br />
Imagine how heavenly that list of food<br />
sounded to a soldier who had been existing<br />
for many months on Army food!<br />
She signed off the warm, heartfelt letter<br />
this way: “Lots of love and many God bless<br />
you my child. All send their love and best<br />
wishes to our dear, dear absent boy. Love,<br />
from mother.”<br />
But then there is a P.S. noting a stick of<br />
gum was included for him with the letter.<br />
A simple, kindly gesture, that offered a<br />
sweet taste of home.<br />

Day Camp at the<br />
Grove City YMCA<br />
YMCA Day Camps provide a safe space for<br />
kids to learn, grow and thrive while school is out.<br />
One in three U.S. children is obese, and when<br />
summertime hits, kids will be more idle. Research<br />
shows that without access to out-of-school physical<br />
and learning activities, kids fall behind academically<br />
and gain weight twice as fast during summer<br />
than the school year. That’s why at the<br />
YMCA of Central Ohio, we are committed to<br />
keeping kids healthy and active all summer long.<br />
The Grove City YMCA Day Camp is a place<br />
for kids to spend their summer having fun, learning<br />
new skills, making friends and memories that<br />
will last a lifetime. Campers spend 80 percent of<br />
their time outdoors, including days spent in the<br />
pool. Kids discover not just the wonders of day<br />
camp but the joy of exploring their unique traits,<br />
talents and interests as well as the power of sharing<br />
their strengths and skills to benefit the group.<br />
Have the best summer ever! Sign up for camp<br />
today.<br />

Demolition started at the former site of the Grove City Library<br />
on <strong>May</strong> 13. According to <strong>Southwest</strong> Public Libraries, the<br />
library building on Park Street opened in March of 1954. The<br />
building was expanded south to Civic Place in 1962. The<br />
building was again expanded in 1974. In 2013, <strong>Southwest</strong><br />
Public Libraries and the city of Grove City agreed to a partnership<br />
to build a new library in the city’s Town Center. The<br />
city paid the library approximately $2 million for the Park<br />
Street site. In October of 2016, the new Grove City Library<br />
opened at Broadway and Grant Avenue. The city determined<br />
that it would be too expensive to save the old library building.<br />
It has yet to be determined what the city will do with the<br />
property on Park Street, but a signed petition from residents<br />
suggest many would like the property turned into a public<br />
park.

In Entertainment<br />
Don’t get scammed by “e Hustle”<br />
In an attempt to make older properties feel more<br />
relevant to today’s times, movie studios have begun to<br />
gender swap their relics in order to give off the faint<br />
whiff that they are doing something original.<br />
Sometimes the idea works and the familiar product<br />
feels new and fresh and sometimes it backfires and a<br />
stale stench lingers over it.<br />
The latest film to receive the swap treatment by a<br />
studio is “The Hustle,” a re-envisioning of the 1988 con<br />
caper “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” starring Michael<br />
Caine and Steve Martin. Throughout the years, that<br />
film has reached comedy classic status due to its sheer<br />
absurdity and twist ending, thus casting a long shadow<br />
for any follow up. As its more modern counterpart,<br />
“The Hustle” already had too much to live up to and it<br />
unsurprisingly feels like a pale imitation of its elder<br />
version. With that being said, it has a few shining<br />
moments of its own so it is not completely devoid of<br />
any merit.<br />
It begins with the introduction of Penny Rust<br />
(Rebel Wilson), a small-time scammer who finds her<br />
marks through dating apps. The writers wanted it<br />
known that Wilson is the lead who has a conscience.<br />
Her character makes her decision on who to scam<br />
based on how the target treats her. For example, if she<br />
meets a guy and he is nice to her, she leaves him alone.<br />
If she meets a guy and he is rude, the scam if a full go.<br />
When we officially meet her, she is in “full go”<br />
mode, trying to bilk $500 from a shallow man jerk<br />
(played brilliantly by Veep’s Timothy Simons) for<br />
breast implants for a made up sister. And just when it<br />
seems she is about to score some quick cash, the cops<br />
bust up the party thanks to a tip from a recently<br />
burned mark.<br />
While on the run, she spots a magazine article<br />
about a lavish sea-side town in France that is just<br />
overflowing with wealthy people. Having nowhere to<br />
go now that the local authorities are onto her, she<br />
decides that she needs a change of scenery and the<br />
people of the fictional Beaumont-sur-Mer need to be<br />
The Reel Deal<br />
Dedra Cordle<br />
liberated of their money.<br />
As she is becoming more<br />
familiar with her new digs and<br />
marks, she meets a big time<br />
scammer named Josephine<br />
Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway)<br />
who kindly tells her to get lost.<br />
Having no intention to do so,<br />
the two butt heads until Penny ends up scamming her<br />
way into a con artist apprenticeship with Josephine.<br />
These scenes are easily the funniest of the movie, with<br />
Rebel making the most of her comedic chops and<br />
Hathaway with her more subtle humor.<br />
Unfortunately, the film then veers away from their<br />
budding frenemy status with a winner-take-the-town<br />
bet to see who can receive the affections of Thomas<br />
Westerberg (Alex Sharp), a gullible tech millionaire<br />
who is on the cusp of super stardom.<br />
While “The Hustle” doesn’t veer far from the plotting<br />
of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” it also doesn’t have<br />
the level of absurdity and non-stop humor of its predecessor.<br />
There are scenes that truly drag and long<br />
moments where no smiles or laughs are elicited but it<br />
had a few bright spots of entertainment and eyecandy,<br />
namely with the costuming by Emma Fryer.<br />
The outfits will make you want to get some new pieces<br />
in your wardrobe, and then imagine starting your own<br />
scams as you catch a glimpse of the pricing.<br />
Overall, “The Hustle” isn’t a bad movie but it’s not<br />
a fantastic one either. The chemistry between the cast<br />
helps lessen the more tedious moments but it’s a film<br />
that definitely could have worked more efficiently with<br />
a more distinctive point of view. Grade: C-<br />
