Saving energy 

on the Hilltop 

By Josephine Birdsell 

Staff Writer 

AEP of Ohio and Columbia Gas are 

starting a new Community Energy Savers 

program in the Hilltop. 

AEP and Columbia Gas are challenging 

Hilltop residents to complete tasks to 

increase the energy efficiency of their 

homes. Hilltop residents earn points for 

every energy efficiency task they complete, 

such as participating in energy audits on 

their homes, recycling old appliances, and 

using rebates on energy efficiency prod-

A 2-year-old bull was introduced to the bison herd at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. 

New bull on the block 

By Andrea Cordle 

Westside Editor 

Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park welcomed 

a new bison to its herd. 

In mid-August, a 2-year-old male 

bison arrived at the park from The Wilds 

in Cumberland, Ohio. He will not be a 

permanent part of the herd, but rather a 

visiting bull that will stay for about a 

year. He has one goal — to reproduce. 

The bull has joined the seven female 

bison already at the Metro Park. 

“The herd was very accepting of him,” 

said Kevin Kasnyik, park manager at 

Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. “He fit 

right in. There were no issues.” 

In 2011, the park introduced six 

female bison to roam on nearly 50 acres of 

prairie grass. In 2013, the park introduced 

its first male to mate with the 

female bison. In 2014, the first calf was 

born at Darby Park. 

According to Kasnyik, the last visiting 

male impregnated five bison. 

“We thought we had four calves with 

the introduction of the last male, but we 

were surprised with a fifth one,” said 

Kasnyik. 

According to the park manager, some 

of the calves born at Darby Park remain 

with the herd, while others are sent to 

The Wilds. 

“We have a really nice relationship 

with The Wilds,” said Kasnyik. 

A female bison can carry a baby for 

about nine months. There is usually just 

one calf but occasionally there may be

twins. Calves are born in the spring and 

summer. They weigh approximately 45 

pounds at birth. 

According to the park’s manager, the 

bison receive a vet checkup in the fall and 

in the spring. 

“We will do our best to see if any of 

them are pregnant, but sometimes you 

just don’t know until they have the calf,” 

said Kasnyik. “We’ll have a good idea 

though.” 

Since the introduction of the bison at 

Darby Park, the park has seen an 

increase in visitors trying to catch a 

glimpse of North America’s largest land 

mammal. 

“They provide a great photo opportunity,” 

said Kasnyik. “They are majestic to

Discover Westland 

The Westland Area Business Association will host its annual 

Discover Westland event from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Prairie 

Township Community Center, 5955 West Broad St. in Galloway. 

Admission is free to the event where patrons can learn about job 

opportunities, meet local business owners and sample food from 

local restaurants and caterers. For more information, visit wabacols.org. 

Cleanup and pizza party 

The 10th annual Sullivant Avenue Fall Cleanup and Pizza 

Party will be held from 10 a.m. to noon 

Sept. 28. Participants will meet at the 

southeast corner of S. Burgess and 

Sullivant avenues to clean litter on 

Sullivant Avenue from S. Wayne to S.

and start prairie fires to prevent invasive 

species, but the bison unknowingly play a 

large role in maintaining the prairie. 

According to Kasnyik, destruction is part of 

what is needed to keep the prairie thriving. 

The size alone of the bison helps in that 

aspect. Bison also graze and produce 

manure that brings in insects important to 

around the westside 

ucts. 

AEP and Columbia Gas are to set a goal number of 

points for the community to earn through their energy 

saving measures. If that goal is met, the companies 

will complete a $35,000 project in the community. 

Columbia Gas is to contribute $10,000 of the $35,000 

and AEP is to contribute the remainder of the sum. 

The number of points Hilltop residents must earn 

and the exact project AEP and Columbia Gas will complete 

if the goal is reached, are yet to be determined. 

The reward project will be energy focused. For 

instance, Lindon finished the program in July and, 

after meeting their goal, received outdoor lighting fixtures 

at Hamilton STEM Academy and upgraded 

water-heaters at four of the community’s elementary 

schools. 

AEP and Columbia Gas are working with the city of 

Columbus and community members from the Greater 

Hilltop Area Commission to determine what the 

Hilltop’s reward project will be. 

To participate, Hilltop residents must visit the 

Community Energy Savers website, select a task 

they’d like to complete, and follow the given instructions. 

Residents must be AEP and Columbia Gas customers 

to complete the companies’ respective tasks. 

Participants must also be residents of the Greater 

Hilltop Area for their points to contribute to Hilltop’s 

energy efficiency goal, but non-residents are encouraged 

to participate as well. 

One of the primary tasks AEP and Columbia Gas 

offer is a home energy audit. Participants can complete 

audits online or have auditors from either of the companies 

come to their homes. 

Online and in-person audits measure a home’s energy 

efficiency by checking the appliances and energy 

effectiveness in your home. For instance, online audits

New location for Greater 

Hilltop Area Commission meeting 

Beginning in November, the Greater Hilltop Area Commission 

will meet at the Hilltop YMCA, 2879 Valleyview Drive. Meetings 

will begin at 7 p.m. and be held on the first Tuesday of every 

month. The meetings had been held at the Hilltop Library. The 

October meeting will be held at the library. Zoning committee 

meetings will also be held at YMCA beginning in November. 

Free meal at Lamb of God 

The Church of the Lamb of God will host a free community meal 

from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the fourth Saturday of each month at 272 

Fernhill Ave. in Columbus. For additional information, call 614- 

706-4945. 

ask questions such as, what types of shower heads do 

you use?; what type of furnace do you have?; and is 

your house drafty? 

At the end of the audit, either the in-home auditor 

or the computer program will give a report, including 

energy efficiency measures you can take in your home 

and rebates you can use on energy efficiency products. 

During in-home audits, the auditor will also check 

your home’s insulation and check your furnace for 

safety. 

The overall goal of the program is to inform AEP 

and Columbia Gas customers about the audit and 

rebate programs the companies offer for all of their 

customers, said Sarah Poe, manager of energy efficiency 

programs at Columbia Gas. 

“They’re really great programs for our customers. 

They help them save money and be more efficient in 

their homes,” she said. 

The Community Energy Savers program comes as 

part of a larger city-wide initiative with the American 

Cities Climate Challenge. The city of Columbus is 

working to complete 30,000 energy audits by the end of 

2020. AEP and Columbia gas are helping the city reach 

that goal through their smaller community energy programs. 

The Hilltop is the third in a series of three communities 

participating in the Community Energy Savers 

Program in 2019. Lindon began the program in May 

and finished in July, and Franklinton began in June 

and is set to finish in October. 

The Hilltop’s program will run through Dec. 15. 

During that time, Hilltop residents can complete tasks 

for points toward the community goal.

website at communityenergysavers.com/cbus/hilltop.

Staff Writer 

The Greater Hilltop Area Commission 

elected new officers at the Sept. 3 meeting. 

Jay McCallister, chairman of the commission, 

was re-elected into his role for his 

fourth consecutive term. Scott Stockman, 

Daniel Fagan, and James White are to 

serve as vice-chairman, treasurer, and secretary 

of the commission respectively; none 

of them have served in an officer position 

previously. 

Officer elections occur once yearly. All 

officers will serve until September 2020. 

Jay McCallister, chairman 

McCallister was born and raised in the 

Hilltop. He’s served as a commissioner for 

the past 11 years, and as chairman of the 

commission for the past three years. 

As chairman of the commission, it is 

McCallister’s job to run general commission 

meetings and set meeting agendas. He 

also serves on every committee in the commission: 

community relations, human services 

and education, planning and economic 

development, public safety, government 

and legislation, zoning, liquor permit 

review, and recreation and parks. 

It’s also McCallister’s job to appoint a 

chairperson to each committee. This term, 

he wants to further empower the committee 

chairs to take charge of their committees. 

“I’m not going to be around forever and 

I don’t want people to just rely on me. I 

want the chairs of each committee to grow 

into more of a leadership role,” said 

McCallister. “I want the chairs to get 

involved and, well, take an active role. 

That’s what the committees are for.” 

McCallister also hopes to resolve longstanding 

problems within the Hilltop this 

term. 

“There are problems we’ve been dealing 

with for 10 or 12 years,” McCallister said, 

“Simple things like changing the lane 

markings and reducing the speed limit. 

And we’re just banging our heads against 

the walls. So we’re hitting it hard again, 

instead of just saying ‘we want this,’ we’re 

going to go pound on some doors.” 

Scott Stockman, vice-chairman 

Stockman is relatively new to the 

Hilltop. He moved to the community in 

July 2017 and has been serving on the commission 

since December 2017. Stockman is 

embracing his newness within the community. 

As vice-chairman of the commission, it 

is now Stockman’s job to fill in for the 

chairman when he’s absent and represent 

the commission to the Columbus City 

Council. 

He hopes that by working closely with 

McCallister, they can better represent both 

the newer and older residents of the 

Hilltop. 

“There’s a more active, younger contingent 

moving over to the Westside. I think 

that’s good for the community,” Stockman 

said, “I know it’s good for the city. It leads 

to economic development.” 

But still, Stockman is eager to learn 

from older residents, especially 

McCallister. 

“Honestly, I think there’s a lot to learn 

from (McCallister). He’s been doing this for 

a long, long time,” said Stockman. 

Daniel Fagan, treasurer 

Fagan is also new to the commission. He 

began serving on the commission in 

January 2019. 

As treasurer, Fagan will receive, disperse, 

and record all of the funds for the 

commission. 

The commission receives $2,500 a year 

from the city of Columbus for administrative 

expenses. At the end of the year, all 

unused money is returned to the city. 

The money is typically spent on marketing, 

to make sure that Hilltop residents 

understand what the commission does. 

This year, expenses may also go toward 

training sessions for commission members 

and hiring a note-taker to attend and 

record meetings at commission meetings. 

But mostly, Fagan wants to use the 

money. 

“We don’t want to return that money,” 

he said, “we want to make sure it goes to 

good use. So I want to make sure I’m 

encouraging and prompting us to have 

really fruitful discussions about how to use

New officers elected on Greater Hilltop Area Commission 

County encourages emergency plan 

September is National Preparedness 

Month and Franklin County Emergency 

Management and Homeland Security 

(FCEM&HS) encourages residents to plan 

and prepare for all hazards before they 

happen. The month serves as a timely 

reminder that emergencies can happen 

anytime, anywhere without advance 

notice. The time to prepare is before a disaster 

happens. 

This year’s theme is “Prepared, Not 

Scared.” The campaign emphasizes the 

need for all residents to know how to 

respond and what to do should disaster 

strike. Citizens are reminded to be 

informed about the top risks facing 

Franklin County and register for ALERT 

Franklin County at www.alertfranklincounty.org 

to receive important information 

and weather alerts on their mobile 

devices. FCEM&HS encourages everyone 

to create and practice an emergency plan 

that includes all family members and pets, 

build a disaster supply kit, and get 

involved by learning lifesaving skills - such 

as CPR and first aid. 

Throughout National Preparedness 

Month, FCEM&HS will feature a different 

preparedness theme each week on 

Facebook and Twitter. Weekly themes 

include: 

• Save early for disaster costs 

• Make a plan to prepare for disasters 

• Teach youth to prepare for disasters 

• Get involved in your community’s preparedness 

As part of National Preparedness 

Month, FCEM&HS encourages parents to 

include the whole family in the planning 

process. Young children and teens can

the money.” 

James White, secretary 

White is the new secretary of the commission. 

He is responsible for calling and 

recording roll, recording voting results, and 

recording and maintaining meeting minutes. 

White is new to both the commission 

and the role. He moved to the Hilltop in 

2018 and was appointed to the commission 

on July 2, 2019. 

“I’m just excited to see the greater 

Hilltop grow,” said White, “becoming the 

next Dublin is my goal. But it’s going to 

take a lot of hard work and determination 

to get us all there.”

Taking stock of life for a milestone birthday 

Well, I put up a good fight and put it off for as long as I 

could. But alas, when I awoke today, it was point, game, 

set, match to Father Time, as I found myself to be 70 and 

wondering where the years had gone. I’m now officially an 

old fuddy-duddy. Seems like only yesterday I was a young 

lad dodging honking cars and playing touch football out on 

the city streets. 

My mind went into overdrive with random thoughts on 

achieving, make that succumbing to, my new milestone. 

Things have changed, some haven’t, some things I’ve 

learned to understand, some I still haven’t and probably 

never will. 

I’ve seen the buying power of a dime go from being a 

kid’s fortune at the corner candy shop to being as worthless 

as the interest the banks continue to pay on our savings 

while they make their fortunes off our hard earned 

dollars. 

I’ve confirmed time stands still for no one, unless you’re 

traveling on White Road and stopped at the red light at 

Hoover. It’s like a time tunnel. You can get lost in thought 

and revisit your entire life as you wait and wait. You can 

pull up to it as a young man and qualify for Social Security 

and Medicare before it turns green for the few seconds of 

mad dash time it then allows you. 

That saying, “you can never go home again” takes on 

new meaning these days. You might be able to, but you’ll 

never know as you can’t remember where it is/was. 

A bowl of Frosted Flakes, i.e. 99 percent sugar, tastes 

just as good today as it was when you were a boy sitting 

there eating it in front of the Saturday morning cartoons, 

only now you’re watching the modern day cartoons, the 

feeble attempts at unbiased news. And all the foods I hated 

then, the ones that were supposedly good for me and I

refused to eat? They’re just as yucky today and I still won’t 

eat them. I made it to 70 enjoying what I eat. 

I don’t rush things as much these days. I take my time, 

think things out, read directions first, plot strategies and 

foresee potential obstacles, then plod ahead. In the end, I 

still mess up everything, only now I do it so much more 

confidently. I also drive the speed limit these days and 

wonder why I was always in such a hurry before. After seeing 

how fast my 70th came, speed in anything I do is just 

no longer a priority. My new goal is to slow things down 

and I seem to have finally found something I excel at. 

You go through life thinking how easy it will be once 

you can…. 

But then you reach the point where you can’t and know 

you probably never will and can’t even remember why you 

wanted to and even what was it. Your mind just reprioritizes 

the difficulty of each new challenge. The problems 

remain what you think are insurmountable. Life never 

gets easier, challenges just adjust, and you convince yourself 

things only get harder. 

After I walk by teenagers, I find myself wondering what 

they’re giggling about as they walk away looking back over 

their shoulders. I find myself smiling and thinking of my 

younger days and start humming that Neil Young song, 

“Old Man.” It starts out, “Old man look at my life, I’m a lot 

like you were.” And a later line, “I’ve been first and last, 

look at how the time goes past.” They’re as oblivious as I 

was, but time will get them too. 

I learned many years ago dogs, with their unrelenting 

loyalty, companionship and never-questioning devotion, 

are one of our greatest gifts. If only we could enjoy our 

bonds longer and benefit from what they can teach us, this 

world would be a much better place from what it’s fast 

becoming. 

There’s always been a rivalry between our military 

service branches. The annual Army-Navy football 

game is a proud, heated slugfest rivalry. The 

difference between the military and today’s politicians 

in our capital is the military knows when the 

game is over and it’s time to unite as one and focus 

to get things done and win battles for the country. 

Help us from robo calls 

We have a scourge of robo calls.

how it went - 18 on Monday, five on Tuesday and 

Wednesday, and four the remaining days of the week. 

With all the advances in technology, you would 

Guest Column 

Dave Burton 

We still pursue our quest to find if there’s intelligent 

life elsewhere in the universe, yet we never 

seem to start at home and first discover if there’s 

any in Washington, D.C.? 

I now know at 70 that everything shall pass, 

except maybe the annoying daily telemarketer and 

robocalls. Then there’s the traditional decades of 

forehead wrinkle causing mental pain and anguish 

we must endure each Browns and Indians season 

bring us. 

At 70, I find it’s easier to laugh at yourself. I’ve 

bumped into mannequins at the clothes store in my 

younger days and caught myself saying, “excuse 

me” to them, then quickly looked about to make 

sure I wasn’t spotted. The other day I bumped into 

one and went on to carry on a long one-sided conversation 

with it before finally realizing 

why I wasn’t getting any 

responses. I didn’t even look 

around. I didn’t care because at 70, 

people expect it. You just get looks 

of sympathy, even from the mannequin. 

The new approved public relations 

buzzword everyone wants to 

use is eco-friendly. It’s easy to throw 

the term loosely about when it’s convenient. It’s harder to 

make the tough decisions to prove it when it’s not as easy. 

Spraying herbicides everywhere, including along stream 

banks ensuring toxic runoffs and leave ugly dead growth 

behind, cutting cattails and disrupting wildlife habitat 

thinking it makes things “look pristine” isn’t being ecofriendly. 

Global warming is real. Yet, I recently read a book 

about the evolution of the horse starting 55 million years 

ago. It almost became extinct numerous times. It evolved 

and adapted from continental upheavals, devastating 

flooding, freezing, ice, fire, warmth, etc. The destructive 

influence of humans was not present. Climate changes, it 

is now and always will be. 

Temporary taxes never go away. We just replace or 

increase them, ensuring uninterrupted government waste. 

Politicians have a sad disease with no known cure called 

BV (Buying Votes). They’re like we were as kids in that 

candy store years ago. They just can’t help themselves. 

These days, the only things that seem to move predictably 

in my body are the annoying detached vitreous 

humor floaters in my eyes. I must now think before I move 

to ensure the brain signals reach their proper destination, 

even if usually on a delayed and garbled basis and with 

frustrating results. 

Most of the mail I get is still bills, but most other mail 

now is for annuities, reverse mortgages, hearing aids, 

health and funeral plans. Knowing I throw that mail into 

the trash without reading it, they bombard the TV airwaves 

with similar ads ensuring the brainwashing process 

is complete. It’s comforting to have so many businesses 

finally caring so much about my welfare. 

So happy 70th to me. I don’t feel a day over 80. I’ve 

decided to hold off on any celebration until my 100th. 

However, you teenagers, if you pass by as I slowly hoof it 

along the streets, feel free to blow your horn, open your 

window and yell out like I used to, “get a horse, old man.” 

Fair is fair, it’s payback time, I can handle it.

Properties and trees discussed in Franklin Township 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

Local leaders continue to look for ways 

to raise revenue in the community. At a 

recent Franklin Township meeting, the 

board approved the sale of four properties. 

The properties that were sold were 

located on Marsdale Avenue, Little Avenue 

and Hart Road in Franklin Township. All 

of the properties were empty parcels of 

land that the township hopes to see developed. 

To date, the township has sold 10 

properties and received over $112,000 for 

those properties. 

“This has been a great partnership with 

COCIC (Central Ohio Community 

Improvement Corporation) to eliminate 

blighted properties and bring some additional 

revenue to the township,” said John 

Fleshman, township trustee. “We are then

going to use the money from these sales to 

further enhance the community.” 

According to Fleshman, the money 

raised from the sale of the properties will 

go into a capital improvement fund. The 

improvements could include building a new 

community meeting place, a separate 

building for the police department or 

expanding parking at the Township Hall. 

In other news, the trustees discussed 

continued issues with trees on West Broad 

Street. William Huffman, of Friends of the 

Hilltop, asked the township to remove 11 

dead trees, as well as feed approximately 

90 trees that line the street. 

“As you recall, last year we fed these 

trees and it helped them tremendously,” 

Huffman said. “We now need to feed them 

again, as well as remove the dead trees. 

These trees have a big impact on the 

appearance of the township and community 

and need to be properly cared for.” 

Huffman said the feeding of the trees is 

necessary to bring them back to their full 

potential instead of looking like twigs on 

the side of the road. 

“The ground these trees were planted in 

is not good, so providing them with a feeding 

is necessary,” Huffman said. “Also, 

removing the dead trees is even more 

important and is what seriously concerns 

me right now.” 

Huffman said the cost to remove the 

trees is $25 a tree. He also said that 13 

trees need trimmed, which cost $30 a tree 

and approximately 90 trees need feeding, 

which is $35 a tree. The cost for all the 

work would be approximately $3,800. 

“This would not include the cost to 

replace the dead trees we removed,” 

Huffman said. “The cost for those trees 

would depend on the caliber of trees the 

township wants to purchase.”

Free produce at Central Baptist 

Free fresh fruit and vegetables will be 

distributed on Sept. 14 to qualified, lowincome 

Franklin County residents. The 

fresh produce will be available at Central 

Baptist Church, 1955 Frank Road, beginning 

at 10:30 a.m. To assist in registration, 

bring a photo ID and your current address 

in Franklin County. You are asked to also 

bring heavy-duty bags, boxes or carts to

expressed concerns about pursuing this 

when they do not have a maintenance 

agreement with the Ohio Department of 

Transportation to maintain this property. 

“Those are ODOT’s trees until we have 

an agreement in place and we can’t just 

remove them,” said Jim Stevens, road 

superintendent for Franklin Township. 

“We don’t own those trees, so we do not 

have any authority to remove them.” 

Huffman voiced his frustration saying 

this has been an ongoing issue for years 

about who should maintain the property. 

“What do we need to do to get this done,” 

Huffman asked. “We know the Westland 

Mall is going to be developed at some point 

and this looks horrible right now. We need 

ODOT and the township to step up.” 

The Franklin Township trustees agreed 

to look into this issue and discuss next 

steps with ODOT.

OPEN HOUSE: 

It was another busy summer construction 

season in the South-Western City 

Schools District. 

At the Aug. 26 board of education meeting, 

Deputy Superintendent David Stewart 

announced that more than a dozen buildings 

had received major or minor improvements 

over the course of summer vacation. 

The schools that received the most 

extensive repair work was Grove City and 

Westland High Schools, which saw the 

replacement of significant portions of the 

building’s roof. 

When it comes to major repairs such as 

roof replacement, Superintendent Dr. Bill 

Wise said they always hold their breath 

because it can unveil more intensive or 

immediate repairs. That was not the case, 

however, with these two buildings. 

“There were minimal unforseens,” he 

said. 

Another school that received a roof 

replacement was East Franklin 

Elementary, which also received new windows 

throughout the building. 

Additional elementary schools that saw 

improvements were Buckeye Woods and 

Darby Woods. The work at Buckeye Woods 

included the installation of new concrete at 

the dock walls, the installation of interior 

pod entry doors with lockdown capability, 

and an upgraded heating and cooling unit.

Darby Woods also received those upgrades, 

minus the heating the cooling unit repairs. 

Receiving minor repairs to the playground 

was Highland Park, J.C. Sommer, 

Monterey and Richard Avenue. 

Board member Lee Schreiner said he 

was glad to hear that the rubber pellets at 

these playgrounds were replaced with tiles. 

He remarked that they looked “great.” 

Several intermediate and middle 

schools received minor repairs: Franklin 

Woods and Park Street had their buildings 

power washed, while Galloway Ridge and 

Jackson Middle had new asphalt installed 

at the bus lot and pathway entrance at the 

front and back of the building, respectively. 

At the high school level, Central 

Crossing received painting upgrades and 

the South-Western Career Academy had 

safety strobe horns installed in their labs. 

In addition to the roof replacements, Grove 

City also had its underground sanitary 

lines replaced, partial sidewalk and curb 

replacements and flooring improvements 

in the kitchen area. 

According to Mark Waller, the district’s 

coordinator of property services and construction 

projects, the district spent $8.2 

million on these repairs. The money, he 

wrote, was from bond issues and permanent 

improvements. 


In Education 

School district repairs buildings over summer break 

The Ohio Mayors Alliance recognized 

Columbus with a grant award for the city’s 

joint work with I Know I Can and 

Columbus City Schools to promote seniors 

taking charge of their futures, crossing the 

finish line at graduation, and then reaching 

higher by going to college, getting a job, 

beginning a career, or serving in the military. 

“Our city’s future economic success 

depends on today’s students getting a great 

K-12 education and then going on to earn a 

degree or credential,” said Columbus 

Mayor Andrew Ginther. “We want to recognize 

young people’s smart choices and 

inspire students who are following them. 

We’re growing tomorrow’s workforce 

today.” 

The alliance awarded more than 

$200,000 to seven cities that are stepping 

up to support Ohio’s Complete to Compete 

challenge, an effort that is designed to help 

meet the state’s goal that by 2025, 65 percent 

of working-age Ohioans will have a 

two-year or four-year college degree, or a 

high-quality credential. Columbus will 

receive $30,000. 

With these funds, the city and 

Columbus City Schools will provide leadership 

and support to I Know I Can. This 

would ensure every CCS high school student 

would have access to I Know I Can 

counselors. 

Ohio’s ability to attract and keep good 

Next summer will also be a busy construction 

season, said Stewart. In the summer 

of 2020, the district will break ground 

on phase two of the Ohio Facilities 

Construction Commission project. That 

project will oversee the replacement of 

Brookpark, Finland, Norton and Pleasant 

View middle schools, as well as further 

repairs to Jackson Middle and East 

Franklin Elementary. 

Stewart also reported to the board that 

they received approximately 2,000 new student 

enrollments to the district for the 

2019-2020 school year. He said official 

enrollment numbers will be available later 

this year. 

He also told the board that each of the 

buses have been “stickered,” which means 

every one of the 210 buses has passed 

inspection from the Ohio Department of 

Transportation. 

In other meeting news, Carl Metzger, 

the assistant superintendent of personnel, 

gave a staffing update to the board. 

According to Metzger, the district has 

2,763 certificated and classified employees. 

Of those, 1,722 are certificated (1,619 

teachers, 103 administrators) and 1,041 

are classified. 

City grant is helping students 

jobs depends on having a highly qualified 

workforce. An estimated two thirds of Ohio 

jobs in the near future will require education 

beyond high school. Ohio ranks 36th 

among the states for its citizens’ educational 

attainment, according to the Lumina 

Foundation’s A Stronger Nation. 

The Mayors Alliance, in partnership 

with Learn to Earn Dayton, and with support 

from the Bill and Melinda Gates 

Foundation and the AT&T Foundation, 

created the Mayors Education Advocacy 

Grant program to engage mayors and 

leverage their voice to help promote Ohio’s 

educational attainment goal. 

The Ohio Mayors Alliance is a bipartisan 

coalition of mayors in Ohio’s largest 

cities.

“Ready or Not” a twisted tale 

The highly anticipated horror film “IT: Chapter 2” is 

set to arrive at the theaters this weekend and chances 

are you might not be able to purchase a ticket unless 

ordered in advance. But should you feel like pushing 

your luck and then see that flashing ‘Sold Out’ sign 

under the desired show time, consider staying to watch 

the lesser known horror “Ready or Not” instead. 

While lacking the emotional depth that is sure to be 

featured in ‘Chapter 2,’ “Ready or Not” offers a look at 

something that is just as scary as killer clowns lurking 

in the sewers: ill-intentioned in-laws. 

When this delightfully twisted tale begins, our heroine 

Grace (Samara Weaving) has just married her 

knight in shining armor Alex (Mark O’Brien) and is 

looking forward to a lifetime of wedded bliss. After a 

long day spent with the in-laws, the newlyweds have 

snuck away for a little alone time when they are rudely 

interrupted by Alex’s bird-like Aunt Helene (Nicky 

Guadagni). With clenched fists, eyes that look like 

lasers and a perpetual glare on her face, Helene cordially 

invites the pair to meet the family in the music 

room for a night of games. Though puzzled by the timing 

of this request, Grace relents as she does not want 

to rock the boat. 

Upon arriving in the music room of the estate, she 

is told that is a long held Le Domas tradition to play a 

game as a way to welcome a new member to the family; 

after all, creating games are how they made their vast 

fortune. But when Grace pulls the Hide and Seek card 

out of a mysterious box, the forced jovial mood of her 

new relatives deflates. Some members, like Alex, his 

older brother Daniel (Adam Brody) and their mother 

Becky (Andie MacDowell) look horrified, while others 

(read: Aunt Helene) look delighted by this turn of 

events. 

The Reel Deal - By Dedra Cordle 

As Grace playfully tries to find a place to hide in the 

massive estate full of hidden passageways and dumbwaiters, 

her new in-laws, minus her husband, are 

amassing weapons to use while they seek. 

Unbeknownst to the bride, and unlikely featured in 

their prenuptial agreement, the long held Le Domas 

tradition of playing games to welcome new members is 

accurate, just not as it pertains to Hide and Seek. If 

she had drawn any other game, such as the ones pulled 

by her new sister-in-law’s husband, or new brother-inlaw’s 

wife, she wouldn’t be running throughout this 

vast mansion for her life. But such is her not-so-greatluck, 

she has to find a place to hide until dawn from 

her suddenly killer in-laws. 

While largely failing in their attempt to make pointed 

social commentary on wealth and privilege, writers 

R. Christopher Murphy and Guy Busick succeed in just 

about every other attempt to make this an interesting 

film. Where the film goes right is with the character of 

Grace, who runs the gamut from joy to confusion to 

betrayal to horror to rage and then detached bemusement, 

and the casting of Weaving to play the ‘final 

girl.’ Though you can tell the supporting actors are 

having a great time being wicked, it is Weaving and 

her character that really propel this film to an oddly 

enjoyable status. 

Due to its content, which features a ridiculously 

shocking amount of gore and an excess of dark humor, 

I can’t safely recommend this film for the average 

viewer. But if you’re a horror buff who isn’t turned off 

by comically over-the-top violence, this might be the 

right film for you to see. Grade: B
