With congregate dining shuttered last year to slow the spread 

of COVID-19, representatives with LifeCare Alliance had a 

novel idea: bring the meals to the people through drive-thru 

events hosted at popular locations for seniors. One such location 

was the E.L. Evans Senior Center in Grove City, which 

averages 75 meals served to clients at each event. “It’s a 

robust operation,” said Dedra Thompson, the dining coordinator 

at LCA and the senior center, as vehicles fluidly passed 

through the line. Those who come out to the center receive 

three meals (one hot and two cold) as it is only held every 

other week. Seated in this (top right) photo from left to right 

are friends Phil Smith, Freda Barclay, Kathleen Price and 

Agnes Klinko enjoying their meal at the shelter house behind 

the center on April 28. The members of the center, who are 

also on the volleyball and Wii bowling teams, said they often 

meet for lunch after these events. The next spring-drive thru 

will be held on May 12 and May 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

at the Evans Senior Center, located at 4330 Dudley Avenue.

Grove City Police Department, helps bag up the meals. The 

menu on April 28 included a hot BBQ beef sandwich, a roast 

beef sandwich and a chicken salad with sides, including potato 

chips. 

City gives funds to 

chamber program 

By Andrea Cordle 

Grove City Editor 

After some debate between city leaders, 

Grove City Council approved additional 

funding for the Buy Local Certificate 

Program. 

At the April 19 meeting, council voted 

to appropriate $50,000 from the general 

fund for the initiative that is managed by 

the Grove City Area Chamber of 

Commerce. The ordinance passed with a 3- 

2 vote. 

This is the second round of funding for 

the gift certificate program. In September 

of 2020, council voted to use $75,000 of 

public funds for the program. 

The Buy Local Certificate Program 

aims to support and market local businesses 

by encouraging patrons to shop and dine 

at local establishments. This program was 

created to help small businesses offset the 

financial effects of the novel coronavirus

pandemic. Consumers purchase a buy one, get one certificate 

from the chamber and receive a specific certificate 

up to $25. 

Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage said the program 

has been a success. He said he spoke with several 

small business owners who reported that the certificate 

program helped to bring in new customers. 

According to the legislation, 25 businesses participate 

in the program and in just eight business days, 

approximately 700 people bought nearly 1,700 gift certificates 

amounting to $50,000. 

“Businesses were hurt by the pandemic,” said councilman 

Ted Berry. “We have funded grants for Town 

Center organizations. This branches out and focuses 

on small businesses.” 

While councilman Randy Holt supported the legislation, 

he had an issue with the amount of money that 

was to be set aside for administration fees and marketing. 

The original ordinance appropriated $40,000 for 

the certificates with $10,000 going to administration 

and marketing. The first round of funding for the initiative, 

in 2020, included $50,000 for the certificates 

and $25,000 for marketing and administration fees. 

Council did vote to amend the ordinance to specify 

that $45,000 be used for the gift certificates while 

$5,000 can be set aside for marketing. Council also 

amended the legislation to use federal stimulus dollars 

to reimburse the city should the program be eligible for 

anticipated rescue plan funding. 

Not all council members were on board with funding 

the program. 

“I’m not a fan of using tax dollars for private businesses 

that are members of the chamber,” said councilman 

Aaron Schlabach. 

He compared it to a members-only club. 

“It’s like a membership drive for the chamber. It 

just doesn’t seem right,” he said. 

According to Shawn Conrad, the executive director 

of the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce, there 

were six new businesses that joined the chamber to 

participate in the program. She also said it costs 

approximately $160 a year for a small business (with 

one to three employees) to be part of the chamber. 

Any independent brick and mortar business that 

sells goods directly to consumers, who employ 20 associates 

or less are eligible to participate in the certificate 

program. Businesses must operate within the 

Grove City boundaries and must be members in good 

standing with the chamber of commerce. 

Council president Christine Houk also voted 

against funding the program. 

“I am a supporter of the chamber, but this is not a 

good use of government dollars,” she said. 

According to Houk, most of the funds used for this 

program have gone to just a handful of businesses. 

“It may not have reached the businesses that needed 

it the most,” she said. 

Houk said she would prefer the buy local certificate 

program be funded and administered through a nonprofit 

organization. 

Per the legislation, the chamber will give the city a 

list of members who participate in the program. The 

chamber will also provide weekly or monthly receipts 

to the city so officials can keep track of money spent.

Program, visit www.gcchamber.org.

The percentage of students who have a 

connection to the English Language 

Learners program has hit a record high in 

the South-Western City Schools District. 

At the April 26 board of education meeting, 

program coordinator Ed Kennedy 

shared compiled data that shows roughly 

25 percent of the student body population 

now falls under that ELL umbrella. 

“For the 2020-21 school year, we had 

3,404 enrolled students who have been 

identified as English Language Learners, 

and we also had just under 1,800 students 

who have recently exited the program,” he 

said. 

For the past several years, the district 

has been hovering around the 21 to 22 percent 

mark, but the steady increase of students 

enrolling year after year has now 

pushed it to 25 percent. 

Kennedy attributed that steady increase 

to great “word of mouth” from parents 

whose children are new to the English language. 

“They know that our ELL program has a 

strong reputation,” he said in a post-meeting 

interview. “Our district has a program 

that really works to help kids become proficient 

and we have a number of support services 

to help them and their families during 

this transitional phase as well.” 

Traditionally, the areas that have seen 

the greatest amount of growth in the ELL 

population is the Franklin Heights and 

Westland corridors, but Kennedy said that 

has slowly started to shift. 

“Those areas and their feeder schools 

are still seeing a tremendous amount of 

growth, but Central Crossing High School 

and the Grove City corridor to a lesser 

extent are seeing a rise in their own ELL 

population.” 

Spanish continues to be the number one 

language with EL students at 71 percent

with Somali and Arabic following at 12 percent 

and 8 percent, respectively. 

Kennedy said Ukraine had been coming 

in at number four but was recently surpassed 

by Hakha Chin with 4 percent. 

In totality, there are 84 languages and 

dialects spoken by students in the district. 

Kennedy said that when students enroll 

in the program, a majority are doing so 

when they are at the pre-functional or 

basic level of learning the English language. 

He added that it takes one to two years 

for students to have a proficient grasp on 

conversational skills, while it takes five to 

seven years to become proficient with their 

reading and writing skills. He said the curriculum 

largely focuses on their basic interpersonal 

communication skills first and 

then transitions to their cognitive academic 

language proficiency skills. 

“You have to have an understanding of 

basic oral skills before you can begin to 

read and write and listen proficiently.” 

For the past three years, the district has 

been a recipient of a Striving Readers 

Comprehensive Literacy Grant through 

the Ohio Department of Education. 

Kennedy said those funds have allowed the 

district to purchase reading materials and 

create professional development opportunities 

for their educators. 

He said some of those reading materials 

that were purchased included graphic novels 

which allows students to read the text 

and comprehend that corresponding action 

with the visual graphics. 

“Graphic novels have been a huge help 

with their comprehensive skills and keeping 

their interest in the material,” he said. 

In fact, Kennedy reported that the 

opportunities created from the grant have 

helped raise the reading level average by 

1.2 grade levels for all EL’s in grades 7-12 

and assisted with a 5.4 percent increase in 

the number of 7-12 EL’s scoring proficient 

or higher on state EL assessment tests. 

“It feels like a lot of progress has been 

made,” he said. 

In related news, Kennedy said the district 

will once again host a summer program 

for EL’s, though it will primarily target 

grades K-8. He said the district is in the 

process of identifying students who may 

benefit from the program and information 

will be sent out to parents and guardians 

soon. He added that it will be virtual but 

there will be an opportunity for in-person 

Friday events where students can participate 

in cultural awareness festivities and 

book fairs.

Vigilance required when walking your furry friend 

As emotionally draining as the drawn 

out pandemic days have been, there have 

been a few bright spots. But being harpooned 

by my second Covid vaccine needle 

and the myriad of reactions I got from it 

most certainly does not qualify as one of 

them. No, not complaining, it does beat the 

risk of the alternative. I haven’t had chills 

like that since I got stuck in a sub-zero 

North Dakota blizzard many years ago. 

One bright spot does stand out for me. 

I rarely watch the PBS channel, just too 

much culture for my crude existence to 

absorb. I stumbled upon “Masterpiece” and 

was excited to see its new adaptation of the 

series, “All Creatures Great and Small,” 

the story of a 1930s veterinarian, James 

Herriot, set in Yorkshire, a historic county 

in England. Loved reading the books it was 

based upon years ago. The new series was 

truly excellent, better than the original, 

and I was glad to see it will be back for 

another season. Watching it turned back 

the pages many years to my college days 

when I lived and worked at a veterinary 

clinic, much like the one portrayed in the 

books and TV series. 

The veterinarian I worked for was very 

much like James Herriot. His practice was 

split about 80 percent small and 20 percent 

large animal. His life was his work; he was 

totally dedicated to it as many vets were in 

those days. There were no after-hour emergency 

clinics in those days. He or the associate 

he brought in, was on call 24/7/365. It 

was not unusual for me to get a middle of 

the night call in my downstairs clinic 

apartment to assist with an emergency 

ranging from going out with him to a dairy 

farm for a calving or milk fever case, to 

surgeries in the clinic for dogs hit by cars or 

removing quills from a dog that tangled 

with a porcupine. A recent dog walk triggered 

a flashback to one specific emergency. 

We’d just locked up the clinic after a 

As far as sports go, basketball has 

always been my first love. 

I played basketball for years and I have 

always maintained an interest in the game, 

which combines a variety of physical and 

mental skills to play, and, well, it’s just fun. 

But in my youth I had a second sports 

love and that was baseball. But, while basketball 

has never let me down, baseball 

broke my heart. 

In the 1960s my favorite baseball team 

wasn’t a team from the major leagues, it 

was the minor league Columbus Jets of the 

International League. 

I would often listen to Jets’ games on the 

radio in the kitchen of my family’s Main 

Street home as they battled teams like the 

Toledo Mud Hens and Rochester Red 

long day. I was back in my tiny apartment, 

just gotten through de-doggyfying myself 

with a long shower. The clinic intercom 

rang. “Dave, got a dog emergency coming 

in, going to need you.” His house was 

attached to the clinic, just like Herriot’s 

was. 

Within minutes we were back in the 

clinic and the dog arrived. I went out to the 

car to assist carrying it in. It was a very 

heavy, full grown Saint Bernard. He was 

bleeding profusely from multiple areas. 

The owner said another dog was being 

walked by his house and he lunged after it 

through his big living room window, shattering 

the glass and sustaining several severed 

veins and arteries and tissue injury 

from the sharp glass. He was in bad shape 

and I could see the concern in the doctor’s 

eyes when we set him down inside. 

Surgery lasted for quite some time, but 

the doctor got him sewn back together and 

the bleeding stopped. His loyal clinic resident 

dog, a docile Chesapeake Bay retriever 

named Lancer, graciously chipped in by 

donating some much needed blood as he’d 

been called upon to do a few previous times 

while I lived there. The dog beat the odds 

and went on to recover. 

Memories of that night came back as I 

walked my dog and went by a house that 

always worries me. It has two large breed 

dogs that stand on top of the living room 

couch and literally lunge repeatedly at the 

big window with their front feet clawing, 

barking like guard dogs as we walk by. 

When there’s full sunlight, you can see the 

glass move. I always take a deep breath 

with a sigh of relief when we get by. So far, 

the window has held. But who knows, both 

lunging with all their weight hitting the 

window at the exact same time a certain 

way…..? They’re needlessly tempting fate. 

I can’t understand why the owners continue 

to ignore the obvious ominous risk. 

That situation happens more than you’d 

think. But it’s usually the smaller breeds, 

so I don’t worry as much. Many dogs (and a 

few neighbors) let us know we’re not welcome 

as we walk by, that’s natural and 

fine, so long as they’re contained. Some 

even wag their tails in friendship and 

whine at the front door. A few others have 

managed to burst out the front door and 

come at us, not in friendship. Years ago, 

one came at my dog and I got tangled in the 

leash and pulled down. Luckily, we were 

able to get things under control without 

any damage to me or the dogs. 

It all comes down to responsibility and 

anticipation. If you’re a responsible dog 

owner, you anticipate and assess situations 

and react accordingly to prevent obvious 

risks. If you’re not and do neither, things 

can happen, sometimes bad things. I’m still 

having to live remembering a 1987 jury I 

sat on, where we had to listen to the case of 

a little girl being mauled by two dogs who 

found a way to escape from their poorly 

secured apartment back porch area. It was 

a senseless tragedy that a littler forethought 

could have prevented. 

When I walk about the area, I keep my 

eyes far ahead. If I see a situation that 

might present a problem, often a loose dog, 

I try to avoid it by either waiting or changing 

my route. There are times I can’t avoid 

it and try to prepare myself. Controlling my 

large dog can be difficult. Sometimes I 

must yell at a loose rapidly approaching 

aggressive dog at the top of my lungs and 

at the same time drag my large dog with all 

my might to keep moving until we get 

away, leaving me exhausted and my dog 

puffing and panting. 

Dogs have Houdini genes in them and 

can be incredible escape artists. It’s natural 

for some to answer the distant call of the 

wild, especially if they’re bored or not regularly 

exercised. They find ways to get out of 

their fenced, too often insecure, enclosures. 

The owners sometimes don’t even realize 

When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way 

Wings. I’d sit close to the radio by a window 

and watch lightning bugs flash on and off 

outside in our backyard as the announcer 

gave the play-by-play of the game: “It’s a 

line drive, base hit by Patek down the left 

field line” or “It’s a high fly ball to deep left 

center field. Way back, way back, it’s gone, 

a home run by Bob Robertson.” 

The next morning I would grab the 

Citizen-Journal newspaper to read the 

paper’s account of the game and to peruse 

the box score and standings. 

Once in a while my dad would take me 

and my brother to Jet Stadium to see a 

game in person. Jet Stadium was a beautiful 

pastoral place and I still remember how 

vividly green the outfield and infield grass 

looked the first time I entered the place. 

In the first game I saw the Jets play in 

Jet Stadium they beat the rival Mud Hens 

5-1 behind the strong pitching of Bob 

Moose. Robertson homered and Patek, a 

shortstop who was one of my all-time 

favorite Jets, beat out a perfect bunt down 

the first base line for a base hit. 

The Jets were always competitive, but 

in spite of that, attendance dwindled as the 

1960s wore on. The team’s last year in 

Columbus was 1970 before it moved to 

Charleston, West Va., to become the 

Charleston Charlies. (What a ghastly 

name!)

they’re gone for hours as the dog runs precariously 

about, dodging cars, not always 

successfully, creating havoc and chaos with 

other dogs in its own neighborhood or farther 

away. When the owners hopefully get 

them back, they ignore taking time to fix 

the escape route and the jail break scenario 

soon happens all over again. Sometimes it’s 

the same dogs that are seen galavanting 

about and you read a response on the website 

from a concerned poster for a dog spotted 

wandering down a major road, “Oh, 

that’s my neighbor’s dog, it’s always out 

loose.” 

A popular neighborhood website is 

always filled with dog notice postings: lost, 

found, two large dogs seen running down… 

Has anyone seen.., etc. It’s disconcerting 

how many active posts there are, but also 

encouraging how fast helpful responses 

come in from concerned neighbors. They 

often result in happy endings that leave 

you smiling. But sometimes the posts 

remain unresolved and sometimes 

resolved, but on a sad note. 

Situations arise with dogs, things happen, 

and they will get loose. That’s understandable 

and acceptable under the 

assumption the owner recognizes it shouldn’t 

and deals with it. Maybe that’s the root 

of the problem. Perhaps a few just don’t 

realize things can happen or refuse to deal 

with it. We’ve all asked the question before, 

“why do they even have a dog.” Some folks 

just shouldn’t have one. They just aren’t 

prepared to accept the responsibilities and 

apparently just aren’t able to comprehend 

the far-ranging risks.

Jets were gone. 

The Jets leaving town shook my faith in 

baseball and I never really fully felt the 

same about the game again. I liked it, but 

no longer loved it. I did follow the 

Cleveland Indians off and on over the 

years, but it wasn’t the same. When the 

Columbus Clippers came to town in the

But it was gone. It left when the Jets flew 

out of town.

Jackson Township purchases new medic and plow trucks 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

It is out with the old and in with the new at the fire and 

road departments in Jackson Township. 

In April, the board of trustees authorized the purchase 

of one new medic for the fire department and two new plow 

trucks for the road department. The former was approved 

as a part of a planned replacement cycle, while the latter 

was approved due in part to grant funding. 

According to Deputy Fire Chief Shawn Quincel, the 

department will replace a 13-year-old medic that has 

approximately 250,000 miles on it. Because of its age, it

has been used as a last resort. 

“It is not assigned to any of our four stations,” said 

Quincel. “It is typically reserved for use when our frontline 

vehicles are out for repair or preventative maintenance or 

when the other backup medics are out on runs or at community 

events.” 

He said this medic is not cost effective to maintain. 

“At this point, we will save more money by replacing it 

with a new medic than we will by making repairs.” 

The new emergency service vehicle will be manufactured 

locally by Horton Emergency Vehicles. It will cost 

the township roughly $315,000 and it will be completed 

and delivered to Station 201 on Grove City Road next year. 

This purchase marks the third time in as many 

years that the department has ordered a new medic 

for its fleet. Unlike the past two purchases, the 

township will pay the entirety of the cost rather 

than a portion or nothing at all. 

In 2019, the township announced that it had 

come to an agreement with the city of Grove City 

regarding Beulah Park Tax Increment Financing 

plans. Under the terms of the agreement, the city 

would purchase two emergency service vehicles for 

the township within the next five year. The city 

went on to purchase one that year, and it will purchase 

the second in 2025. 

Late last year, the city allocated a portion of the 

funds it received through the Coronavirus Aid, 

Relief and Economic Security Act to the township. 

The township paid approximately $40,000 for a 

new medic, while the city funded the remainder of 

the cost. 

Quincel said the township’s partnership with 

the city has been invaluable to the fire department.

“We are very appreciative of the support they have 

given us,” he said. 

With the 13-year-old medic set to be phased out next 

year, the oldest vehicle will then be an 11-year-old medic. 

Quincel said the department is on a 10-year replacement 

cycle. 

“The first five years of a medic will be spent as a frontline 

vehicle,” he said. “After those five years are up, we 

have to order a new one and then they become our backup 

medics.” 

He said medics have to be replaced often as they garner 

a tremendous amount of wear and tear. 

“Replacing the medics on a planned replacement cycle is 

a necessity,” he said. “Our public depends on us to assist 

them when they are in need and those vehicles need to be 

in the best shape they can be in.” 

The road department will also be replacing its oldest 

plow trucks as they were selected to be a recipient of a 

Volkswagen Diesel Mitigation Trust Fund Grant. 

According to township administrator Shane 

Farnsworth, the road department will be able to replace a 

2004 model and 2006 model plow truck with two new environmentally 

friendly vehicles. He said the township will 

pay approximately $250,000 for the plow trucks, while the 

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency will cover 30 percent 

of the cost, or roughly $83,000. 

He said they will be specially outfitted and delivered to 

the department in the summer. 

“They will be ready to go come the next snowfall,” he 

said. 

The 2004 and 2006 trucks will be decommissioned. The 

department will have four plow trucks on hand, one of 

which is a smaller model to access cul-de-sacs and subdivision 

roads.



Active Lifestyles 

A bi-monthly feature celebrating the 

wisdom, experience and contributions of our community’s senior citizens 


How to memorialize a lost loved one 

A memorial tells the story of your loved ones 

to future generations. The experts at Hannigan 

Memorials, part of the Modlich Monument 

Company, have tips on choosing just the right 

monument. 

Plan ahead 

Aim to purchase a memorial before the emotional 

time of losing a loved one. Even with cremations, 

there are memorial options, such as 

burying cremains and erecting a monument; creating 

a cut-out in a monument and sealing the cremains 

inside; or using a decorative urn inside a 

mausoleum. 

“A memorial takes time to complete and place 

in the cemetery,” said Chad Sothard, branch manager 

of Hannigan Memorials. “We deliver and 

install every monument we build, making sure 

everything is just right for our customers.” 

Match the memorial to your lot 

Some cemeteries restrict the size, shape or 

material used for memorials. “We have experience 

working with a variety of budgets and different 

cemeteries to help ensure your final memorial 

choice fits your personal taste, budget and cemetery 

regulations,” said Sothard. 

Personalize your memorial 

“We believe a memorial is as unique as the life 

it commemorates,” Sothard said. “Our craftsmen 

can create any type of memorial, with stones in 

any type, color, shape or size.” Customers can 

choose their engraving, from standard sandblasting 

to hand diamond-etched portraits. Hannigan 

also provides computer-generated scale drawings, 

so customers can easily visualize their memorial.

Franklin County Board of Commissioners: Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce, President • Commissioner Marilyn Brown • Commissioner John O’Grady 

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners and The Franklin County Office on Aging join with the Messenger Newspaper in providing this update on aging issues in Franklin County. 

Older Americans Month 

Every year in the month of May, we celebrate Older Americans 

Month. Older Americans Month, or OAM, was established in the 

year 1963, with a goal of bringing awareness to the needs of older 

American citizens living within the United States. The Administration 

for Community Living, or ACL, is responsible for spearheading 

the national observance of Older Americans Month and creating an 

honorary theme. In years past, themes have included “Engage at 

Every Age”, “Connect, Create, Contribute”, and most recently last 

year, Make Your Mark”. For May 2021, the monthly theme just so 

happens to be “Communities of Strength”. 

“Older adults have built resilience and strength over their lives 

through successes, failures, joys, and difficulties. Their stories and 

contributions help to support and inspire others. This OAM, we will 

celebrate the strength of older adults and the Aging Network, with 

special emphasis on the power of connection and engagement in 

building strong communities”. 

Over the past year, older Americans have had to face several 

challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic. Social isolation, 

personal and family illnesses, and financial hardship, are just a few 

of what older Americans endured and to do so, takes immense 

amounts of strength. The Franklin County Office on Aging has been 

with these older Americans every step of the way. Through 

providing free home-delivered meals for most of 2021, to providing 

free transportation to COVID-19 vaccine appointments, to finally 

continuing to provide their existing support programs and services 

to Franklin County older adults. The community in which the 

Franklin County Office on Aging serves, is a diverse group of 

individuals who love to stay involved and participate in strength 

building programs. 

There are a few ways that older Americans and their family or 

friends can continue to develop their strength and to stay connected 

as a community. 

-Utilize social media: Many of us have social media application, 

whether that be Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Social 

media allows for you to connect with others and stay informed about 

the lives of loved ones. Most social media accounts are free to join, 

and if you decide to create one, make sure to follow the Franklin 

County Office on Aging on Facebook, Twitter and/or LinkedIn. 

-Create Zoom meetings: Create Zoom meetings: We all miss seeing 

others face to face, however with COVID-19 still present we want to 

make sure you have safe interactions with others. A popular way of 

doing so is by creating Zoom video call groups. You can simply call 

one another to chat, you could create a weekly or monthly book 

club, or even have a movie night or painting event. The creative 

ideas you can come up with are endless. 

-Self development and sharing: There are many people who would 

love to add an additional skill to their list. Perhaps that is cooking, 

drawing, taking up yoga, or maybe even learning a new language. 

By continuously learning, you cannot only build up yourself, but 

you can share your newly acquired skills with your family, friends, 

or acquaintances. You strengthen others, when you strengthen yourself. 

This pandemic has taken a lot of enjoyable moments, loving individuals, 

and amazing memories from so many of us. However, if we 

stick together as a community, we will come out stronger than ever. 

If you are an older adult age 65 or over or know of an older adult that 

may need any of the programs or services listed above, please contact 

the Franklin County Office on Aging at (614) 525-6200.


OhioHealth and Cancer Support Community Central 

Ohio are partnering on a free series of virtual support 

groups for newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families. 

The six-week sessions will run six times during 2021 

and will cover a variety of topics including: 

•First Steps After You’re Diagnosed: Learning a New 

Language 

•Resources to Partner with Your Healthcare Team 

•Communicating with Your Family Through Cancer 

•Coping with Side Effects

OhioHealth system program director, supportive cancer 

care. “Receiving a cancer diagnosis is an emotional experience 

that comes with many questions for the patient and 

their family. Joining a support group, such as this

Pictorial Past 

Back in the early 1900s on the streets of Grove City and other area small towns, 

automobiles were not welcome on public roads because horse enthusiasts were 

reluctant to share the road. Early automobiles would frequently backfire, causing 

a horse to bolt. Pedestrians caused another problem. People would walk into the 

street expecting the cars to stop the same as a horse. As interest in automobiles 

grew, motoring became a favorite leisure activity. The photos and information in 

the Pictorial Past are provided by Don Ivers, curator of the Grove City Welcome 

Center and Museum.

Going around Central Crossing sophomore Jeremy Paquette proved easier than 

going over him as his strong net game helped he and doubles partner, Jesse 

Nlemchi to a third set tie breaker against Groveport’s Casey Humphrey and Jason 

Robertson who took the 15-13 victory in the April 27 match up at Groveport High 

School. It was the first win for Central Crossing. The team now has a 1-5 record.

Q: What are floaters and what causes them? 

A: Floaters are small dark shapes that move across your vision. They can appear 

as dots, threads, squiggly lines, or even like cobwebs. Most floaters are caused 

by normal changes in the eye. As you age, small strands of vitreous (gel-like fluid 

that fills your eye) can clump together and cast a shadow on your retina (the 

light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye). Those shadows appear as floaters 

that drift across your vision. You may notice floaters more when you look at a 

bright background, like a computer screen or a blue sky. 

Q: How often should someone with new 

floaters get an eye exam? 

A: Someone experiencing new floaters, a large increase in the number of floaters, 

or flashing lights should see an eye care professional immediately. Sometimes 

floaters have a more serious cause, including: infection, injury, inflammation, 

bleeding, retinal tear or retinal detachment. 

Someone with a few stable floaters should see an eye care professional at least 

once a year for a comprehensive dilated eye exam. 

Schedule your comprehensive eye exam

Dog license deadline extended 

Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano announced an 

extension of the dog licensing deadline. The new deadline, based 

on COVID-19 relief passed by the General Assembly, is July 1. 

This extension will allow dog owners more time to purchase or 

renew a license without a penalty. 

“Your auditor’s office wants to ensure that everyone can get 

their dog license free of penalty,” Stinziano said. “Licensing your 

dog is required by the state of Ohio, and I want to make dog 

licensing easy and accessible for all Franklin County residents 

throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. One goal since I took office 

as your Franklin County Auditor has been to increase the rate of 

licensed dogs and encourage responsible pet ownership.” 

The 2020 licensing season saw 99,795 licensed dogs in 

Franklin County. 

The cost to license a spayed or neutered dog is $18 for one year, 

$54 for three years, or $180 for a permanent license. For a nonspayed 

or neutered dog, the cost is $35 for one year, $105 for three 

years, or $350 for a permanent license. 

In addition to being required by state law, dog licensing 

ensures that any lost dog is returned quickly to their owners. 

Most funds generated from dog licensing support the Franklin 

County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center. Dog licenses can be 

purchased at doglicense.franklincountyohio.gov.

In Entertainment 

“Mortal Kombat” is like a gut punch 

I have never thought of myself as a violent person, 

but I have to admit that I began to question my preferred 

method of confrontation by using passiveaggressiveness 

and snark thanks in large part to 

“Mortal Kombat.” 

While a casual player of the video game that irate 

parents and Congressional leaders swore would corrupt 

the youth of the world, it was the live-action adaptation 

of 1995 that reeled me into the web of imagined 

fisticuffs. Upon watching this version for the first time, 

I became obsessed with the skill and power of the characters, 

wishing that one day I too would be able to competently 

wield harpoon-like spears attached to the 

length of a rope like Scorpion or snap necks with my 

knees while in a handstand like Sonya Blade. 

In the years that followed, I did not rack up a body 

count, or even learn how to do a handstand, but I did 

parse out that what I was feeling whenever I thought 

of “Mortal Kombat” was something called nostalgia. 

Like a fist, or foot, or ice spike, nostalgia can be powerful. 

It burrows into you, making you feel vaguely irritated 

when someone makes fun of what you like, and 

it brings forth a feeling of protectiveness when someone 

tries to remake something you love. 

When I heard that Warner Bros had decided to 

reboot this franchise, I felt that inkling of irritation but 

I thought would give it a chance because it’s “Mortal 

Kombat.” It’s supposed to be stupid fun and that is 

something we can all use in our lives. But this latest 

version largely turns down that aspect in favor of stupid 

without the fun. While it’s not awful enough to 

make you want to inflict Sub-Zero levels of violence, it 

is bad enough to make you want to give its new creators 

a powerful stink-eye. 

It begins with an effective prologue taking place in 

17th century Japan where skilled assassin Bi-Han (Joe 

Taslim) has found the guarded woodland home of rival 

Hanzo Hasashi (Hiroyuki Sanada). After killing his 

wife and child, the two warriors face off in the film’s 

most exquisitely choreographed fight scene, expertly 

blending moves only found in the video games and 

martial arts movies of yore. When this sequence is 

over, however, so too is most of the film’s promise. 

The film then jumps forward to the Outworld where 

sorcerer Shang Tsung (Chin Han) is delightfully planning 

Earthrealm’s destruction. Knowing that they only 

need one more win at the Mortal Kombat competition 

to take over this “pathetic” realm, he sends his greatest 

assassins to find their warriors and eliminate them 

before the competition can take place. At first, not 

much urgency is given to this mission, but he then discovered 

a prophecy that foretells their defeat should 

the Hasashi line unite the champions. This bit of news 

is a surprise to all the baddies of that realm as they 

thought Bi-Han and the Lin Kuei assassins killed 

them all centuries ago. Whoopsie. 

That whoopsie turns out to be Cole Young (Lewis 

Tan), a character created specifically for this movie 

universe. Born with a dragon tattoo (seriously), he is a 

down-on-his-luck MMA fighter who knows nothing of 

his lineage or Mortal Kombat and the hell that is about 

to be unleashed upon him and his family. 

While out for dinner one night, Cole and his wife 

and daughter are attacked by a specter who has the 

ability to generate and control ice. Knowing that they 

are no match for this Cryomancer, they hesitantly 

accept the help of stranger Jax Briggs (Mehcad 

Brooks) who tells them to seek out Sonya Blade. 

When Cole finds her, Sonya (Jessica McNamee) 

explains to him what Mortal 

Kombat is, who the people are 

who also share in his dragon tattoo, 

and when this fight to the 

death might take place. She 

then encourages him to follow 

her on a quest to find the location 

of Lord Raiden (Tadanobu 

Asano) who could help train and guide them as they 

prepare for this world’s greatest death match. 

When they reach Raiden’s lair, the film slows to a 

crawl as the fighters try to unlock their “arcana,” or 

special power that could help them not have their 

spines ripped out of their body or smashed to a bloody 

pulp by Prince Goro, the Outworld’s last champion who 

is a multi-limbed half-human, half-dragon creature. 

There is a lot of exposition in these scenes, a lot of Cole 

(and Sonya, to a degree) wondering who they are and 

where they fit in this world, and not enough combat. 

But the latter point is one of the biggest issues with 

this film — there is little Mortal Kombat in “Mortal 

Kombat.” There are mortals in this film, and there is 

combat in this film, but there is no true Mortal Kombat 

in “Mortal Kombat.” 

With the lack of the tournament itself, this film can 

only be described as a prequel, as a way to introduce 

the audience to this weird world. It teases with one-onone 

fights in the end (Max Huang is a true delight as 

the razor-hat wearing Kung Lao, who definitely has 

the best fatality of the film), but it really is a set up for 

potential sequels even though the studio has not committed 

to making said sequels. 

There is also a big issue with the ambiance of the 

film — it just takes itself too seriously. While it tries to 

say it’s the opposite with high levels of gore or overthe-top 

fatalities, its dialogue and plotting say something 

else altogether, and usually in a monotone voice. 

Should potential sequels go forward, there is some 

hope that things can be salvageable with better pacing, 

a better script and maybe some acting lessons in emoting 

for its core actors. But until then, I say to fans that 

this version is not a flawless victory for the franchise, 

but it’s also not a fatality either.
