Obetz reviews 2020 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Calling 2020 a “notorious year,” Obetz 

Mayor Angie Kirk is looking forward to 

better days ahead, while looking back over 

a year that forced the village to revisit the 

way it does business, conducts programming, 

and keeps employees on the payroll. 

“In the face of these new challenges, the 

Obetz staff and elected officials had to 

rethink the way we had done things in the 

past,” said Kirk in the village’s annual 

report. “We worked hard to come up with 

new ways to hold our traditional events. 

Things were rescheduled or redesigned to 

accommodate the rules and policies associated 

with the pandemic. In the spring of 

2020, we held a rolling car show. The 

Rolling Car Show allowed people to come 

out onto their porches or into their front 

yards and watch as classic and custom cars 

rolled by on a beautiful spring day.” 

With planning and cooperation, Obetz 

hosted Hamilton Township High School’s 

2020 graduation at Fortress Obetz in a 

drive through graduation ceremony. It was 

the first of its kind event allowed graduating 

seniors to accept their diplomas in person 

in a quasi-traditional graduation. 

With heavy pandemic restrictions in 

place, Kirk said the village was forced to 

close the Obetz Athletic Club. However, in 

order to continue providing workout opportunities 

for residents, the OAC Lite–an 

outdoor workout space on a converted basketball 

court was put in place. 

“Finally, as the year ended, we 

redesigned our Christmas celebration to 

create a drive through Trail of Lights that 

community members could view from their 

vehicles,” said Kirk. “We also designed a 

new Santa Claus float and Santa was able 

to ride up and down the streets of Obetz 

waving to our children.” 

Village Administrator Rod Davisson said 

he expected 2020 to be a rough year for the 

village, but Obetz fared better than anticipated 

with new housing starts and a dramatic 

increase in income tax and carryover. 

“Hopefully that path continues,” said 

Davisson. “We aimed for a $2.5 million carryover 

and ended with $5 million.” 

An extra $2 million of that carryover 

was transferred into Obetz’s capital budget, 

bringing the total to $3 million and 

affording the opportunity to accomplish 

more capital improvement projects in 

2021. In addition, while the village was 

shut down, employees spent their time 

training online. Forty-four employees were 

certified in First Aid and 30 received 

OSHA certification. 

Human Resources Director Derek 

Duncan said, “With the help of our IT 

department, our employees were fitted with 

new laptops, cell phones, and Microsoft 

Teams accounts to maintain work efficiency 

while working from home for parts of the 

year. Our Obetz team made significant 

achievements in training hours completed, 

courses completed, and certificates earned.” 

Community Services and Planning 

Director Stacy Boumis said the housing 

market in Obetz is robust and that the 

Butler Farms and Bixby Grove housing 

developments continue to expand because 

land is still available. All available lots in 

Mulberry Grove were platted and sold and 

Walnut Run started selling lots in 2020. 

“Central Ohio was buzzing with the 

news that Sheetz was entering the market,” 

said Boumis. “In 2020, the land for 

the store was annexed and the Final 

Development Plan approved. The store is 

located at the corner of Toy Road and Alum 

Creek Drive. “Sheetz will provide needed 

convenience services including made to 

order foods for the tens of thousands of 

people employed in Obetz’s industrial 

parks and travelers using the 

Rickenbacker Airport.” 

According to Economic Development 

Director Stacie Davisson, Zenni (Optical) 

USA expects to create 189 full-time positions, 

generating $8.2 million in new annual 

payroll. It is an online retailer that sells 

prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses, 

sunglasses, sports glasses, and goggles. 

A new Fresenius Dialysis Center provides 

in-center and home dialysis services. 

It is located in the Walnut Creek 

Development behind Ohio Health 

Emergency on Alum Creek Drive.

The void in Hamilton Local Schools left 

after the unexpected passing of long-time 

Public Relations Director Vince Payne on 

Feb. 8 was filled by the school board on 

May 10 with the hiring of Kaitlin Duncan, 

who previously served as interim director. 

She was first hired as a public relations 

specialist in September 2020. 

“Kaitlin has proven to be a hardworking, 

dedicated employee for our district,” said 

Hamilton Schools Superintendent Mark 

Tyler. “With the loss of Vince Payne, Kaitlin 

has become a vital member of our district’s 

administrative team. I have every confidence 

she will make a smooth transition 

into the director of public relations role.” 

Duncan’s resume includes: a bachelor of 

arts in public relations and marketing communications 

from Ohio Dominican 

University; a master of science in business 

psychology from Franklin University; marketing 

manager for the Ohio Insurance 

Agents Association, and account executive

Eagles for a Cause walkathon 

to benefit autistic students 


Staff Writer 

Members of the Madison Christian basketball 

teams exchanged hoops and the court for pavement– 

at least for one day–in support of a first annual 

walkathon event benefitting autistic students at the 

Bridgeway Academy of Ohio. 

“Eagles for a Cause has been a Madison Christian 

School sponsored event for four years now and born 

from Athletic Director, Andy Scholz,” said girls varsity 

basketball team head coach Jeff Howell. “All athletic 

teams at the school have selected a cause–breast cancer, 

autism, sepsis, etc.–that is close to them where 

they will raise funds from t-shirt sales, athletic event 

proceeds, etc. and donate all proceeds to the cause that 

they have selected.” 

Howell said he came up with the idea after COVID 

shut down most activities and close interactions. He 

thought that an outdoor event was the safest thing his 

athletes could do and, at the same time, raise awareness 

and funds for autism at Bridgeway Academy. 

Howell has a nephew with autism who attends the 

Bridgeway Academy of Ohio (located near Obetz), the 

team’s scorekeeper has a daughter who suffers from 

autism, and he knows there are many families are personally 

touched by autism. 

“I approached Bridgeway four years ago to discuss 

becoming a long-term partner where our team would 

put on basketball clinics, come to the school to read, or 

play games and other things to interact with the special 

needs children,” said Howell. “Our first Eagles for 

a Cause event was a regular season basketball game at 

Madison Christian where proceeds from t-shirt, ticket 

and concession sales netted $1,000 for Bridgeway. The 

partnership has been a tremendous success and we 

hope to expand the reach to our entire school and not 

just our basketball program.” 

According to Howell, Bridgeway Academy is a nonprofit 

education and therapy center serving children 

with autism and developmental disabilities. It was 

founded by speech-language pathologist Abby David 

and music therapist Erin Nealy in 2005 as Helping 

Hands Center for Special Needs. 

The Eagles for a Cause walkathon, open to the public, 

was held May 15 at the Bridgeway Academy, 1350 

Alum Creek Drive. Participants included Madison

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 non-spayed 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. 

Though the auditor’s office public counters remain 

closed for the health and safety of Franklin County 

residents, dog licenses can always be purchased online 

at doglicense.franklincountyohio.gov. 

Foster a dog 

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption 

Center will begin offering individuals in Franklin 

County the opportunity to foster shelter dogs while 

they are still available for direct adoption. for information 

visit the shelter website, www.franklincountydogs.com.

Memorial Day events 

By Rick Palsgrove 

Managing Editor 

Memorial Day is a solemn and moving 

tradition for Americans - whether they live 

in big cities, small towns, or the countryside 

- dating back to the day’s origins in the 

post-Civil War period. 

Each Memorial Day of the past, present, 

and future is special in its own right as we 

pay respects to the fallen as flags gently 

flutter by each tombstone and flowers 

grace the graves. Time rolls on. Memories 

of some things in life may fade, but not the 

memory of the sacrifices made by these, 

our honored fallen members of the military. 

Memorial Day endures and is an elegant, 

dignified reminder to us all of the 

profound sacrifices made by members of 

our communities in service to their country. 

Memorial Day ceremonies include: 

Asbury 

In years past, a Memorial Day ceremony 

has been held in Asbury Cemetery, 

4760 Winchester Pike, Columbus. 

However, as of press time, American 

Legion Robert Dutro Post 486 could not 

confirm that a ceremony would be held at 

Asbury Cemetery this year. 

Canal Winchester 

VFW Post #10523 will host Canal 

Winchester’s annual Memorial Day ceremony 

on May 31 at Union Grove Cemetery, 

400 Winchester-Cemetery Road, beginning 

at 10:30 a.m. The ceremony’s keynote is 

still to be determined. 

“We are not limiting the crowd, but will 

be enforcing all public health guidelines 

including wearing masks and social distancing 

(due to the ongoing coronavirus 

pandemic), said Hannah Voss, Canal 

Winchester events and communications 

coordinator. “The event will also feature a 

dedication of a bench in honor of those who 

served during the global war on terrorism.” 

Lockbourne 

Lockbourne’s annual Memorial Day 

Parade and Celebration will be held May 

31 to honor veterans and to recognize, “The 

Warrior Legacy: Generations of Service in 

the Armed Forces.” 

The event begins at noon with a parade 

through the village followed by a ceremony 

directly after the parade at the new 

Lockbourne Veterans Park, 95 Landis St. 

Seniors from Hamilton Local Schools who 

have enlisted in the military will also be 

recognized. The parade will begin at the 

east end of Commerce Street, head west, 

turn left on Williams Street, left on 

Mechanics Street, left on Vause Street, and 

ends at the Veterans Park. 

“At this point, we do not have a speaker 

for the ceremony, however, during the ceremony 

we will highlight the generations of 

military families in the area,” said 

Lockbourne Mayor Christie Ward. “Each 

year, Lockbourne honors a current or former 

resident who served in the military. 

This year our honoree is the McCumber 

family, who have three generations of veterans.” 

“We anticipate a strong presence of veterans 

from the area,” said Lockbourne 

Deputy Administrator Rachel Ricker. 

“This event is a central part of the village, 

Hamilton Township, and surrounding 

area. If you are a part of a military 

family, please let us know. We would 

love to include your family name in our 

Memorial Day Parade and Celebration.” 

To participate in the parade, contact 

rachel.crumley@lockbourneohio.us or call 

(614) 491-3161. 

Groveport 

The Memorial Day ceremony in 

Groveport will be held May 31 at 1:30 p.m. 

in the Groveport Cemetery, which is located 

on Wirt Road in Groveport near 

Heritage Park. 

The event will be scaled down due to the 

ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

“The Memorial Day event will be similar 

to last year’s. It will be a small gathering 

and those in attendance will socially 

distance,” said Groveport City 

Administrator B.J. King. “There will not be 

a Memorial Day parade this year.” 

The ceremony will be streamed on the 

city of Groveport’s Facebook page. The 

guest speaker will be Motts Military 

Museum Director Warren Motts. 

Groveport American Legion Robert 

Dutro Post 486, which has played a long 

time active role in the Groveport Memorial 

Day ceremony, is named after local resident, 

Private Robert Dutro, who in 1917 at 

the age of 15 joined the 6th Marine 

Regiment during World War I. He would 

later die in France on July 19, 1918 during 

the Aisne-Marne offensive. The Post was 

established in 1924. Follow the Post on

The village of Obetz’ population was 

4,532 at the 2010 U.S. Census. 

The community was originally known as 

Obetz Junction, in honor of settler Charles

Groveport to hold Fourth of July celebration 



The city of Groveport will once again celebrate 

the Fourth of July this year after 

last year’s event was cancelled due to the 

ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

The city will hold its Independence Day 

celebration, which will feature a parade 

and fireworks, on July 3. 

“It is important to hold the event this 

year to give the community a traditional 

Independence Day celebration,” said 

Groveport City Administrator B.J. King. 

“It has been a long 14 months and things 

are progressing towards normalcy. We are 

all wanting to get back to doing our normal 

activities and way of life. Other central 

Ohio communities also plan to have 

Independence Day celebrations so we are 

not the stand alone. I feel like what we 

plan can be done in a safe manner. Plus, 

come July, I anticipate the situation with 

COVID-19 will be significantly better.”

Facts 

about 

Memorial 

Day 

•It took a long time for Memorial Day to become a federal 

holiday. Despite tracing its origins to the immediate 

aftermath of the Civil War, Memorial Day did not become 

an official federal holiday until 1971, more than a century 

after the war ended. This is the same year the holiday 

was officially designated as taking place on the last 

Monday in May. 

•Debate exists about which town has the longest history 

of celebrating Memorial Day. A handful of towns 

claim to be the first celebrants of Memorial Day. That 

debate figures to continue in perpetuity, but History.com 

notes that Waterloo, N.Y., was officially recognized by 

U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson as the birthplace of 

Memorial Day in 1966. Doylestown, Pa., and Rochester, 

Wisc., are some other towns that claim to have celebrated 

Memorial Day since the mid-1860s. 

Veterans 

Hall of Fame 

nominations 

The deadline for submitting nominations 

for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame 

is approaching and the organization wants 

to hear from those who know former service 

members who are excelling and making 

a difference in society. 

Now in its 28th year, the Hall of Fame 

recognizes those who served in the U.S. 

Armed Forces and continue to contribute 

to our communities, state, and nation 

through exceptional acts of volunteerism, 

advocacy, professional distinction, public 

service, or philanthropy. 

Each year, the Ohio Veterans Hall of 

Fame inducts up to 20 veterans based on 

recommendations from an executive committee 

of veterans from throughout the 

state and approval from the governor of 

Ohio. 

The deadline to submit nomination 

forms for consideration for the 2021 class 

of the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame is June 

1. The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame accepts 

nominations for those who would be 

inducted posthumously. 

To be considered, the veteran must 

meet the following criteria: 

•Be a past or current Ohio resident 

•Have received an honorable discharge 

•Be of good moral character 

This Hall of Fame sets the standard for 

recognizing Ohio’s veterans for accomplishments 

beyond their military service. 

For more information or to nominate a 

veteran, call 614-644-0898 or email halloffame@dvs.ohio.gov.

Community Shred Day 

Eleven years ago, Dwayne R. Spence Funeral Home in Pickerington was looking 

for a way to give back to the community that has supported them for over 50 

years. 

So the funeral home established a free Community Shred Day. They contracted 

and paid for Royal Document Destruction to set up an onsite shred truck which 

allows the documents to be shredded at drop-off and give individuals the peace of 

mind that their documents are being shredded immediately and not transported offsite. 

Royal Document Destruction takes great security measures dealing with valuable 

and vulnerable documentation. In 2019 this event kept 33,900 pounds of paper 

out of landfills saving 85 cubic yards of landfill space, 1,017 pounds of pollutants 

out of the atmosphere, 69,495 KWh of energy saved, 118,650 gallons of water, and 

288 trees. The Community Shred Day has grown each year from 225 vehicles dropping 

off documents to between 800 – 1,000 in 2018 and 2019. 

This Shred Day truly became a community event as Dwayne R. Spence Funeral 

Home partnered with the Pickerington Food Pantry to collect non-perishable food 

items and monetary donations, the Pickerington Lions Club collecting used eyeglasses, 

St. Vincent de Paul Society accepting used clothing and household items, 

and TDR Recycling for disposing of used electronics. The Pickerington Area Boy 

Scouts Troop 256 is a vital part of this event helping to unload boxes and bags from 

the vehicles and loading them into the shredding containers. This allows participants

DUNCAN 

Sound the Alarm campaign 

American Red Cross volunteers will 

Sound the Alarm in Columbus as part of a 

national effort to educate 100,000 people 

about home fire safety in high-risk neighborhoods 

this spring. 

Columbus area residents are encouraged 

to call 844-207-4509 to request a virtual 

education appointment and referral to 

partner agency for installation of free 

smoke alarms. 

“Home fires remain the most frequent 

disaster, yet most of us don’t realize we 

have just two minutes to safely escape,” 

said Cory Paul, executive director of the

with Involve, LLC. 

“I was so lucky to work with him 

(Payne) for the time that I did,” said 

Duncan, who also serves as a Hamilton 

Middle School cheerleading coach. “When 

the director position was offered to me, I 

knew that Vince had given me the tools I 

needed to fulfill this role. I hope to keep 

Vince’s legacy going, and to do what would 

have made him proud.” 

Duncan originally came to the district 

three years ago when she started coaching 

the middle school cheerleading squad. She 

led the team to first-place honors in their 

first year of competition and also serves on 

Greater Columbus Ohio Chapter. 

Central Ohio residents are also encouraged 

to visit SoundTheAlarm.org and 

pledge to prepare against home fires. 

Sound the Alarm is part of the larger 

Home Fire Campaign. Since launching the 

campaign in 2014, the Red Cross has 

helped save 864 lives across the country by 

helping families create escape plans and 

installing free smoke alarms. This work is 

made possible with Red Cross’ partners, 

who have helped make more than 900,000 

households safer in at-risk communities.

School Cheerleading Coaches Association. 

“My husband is an alum of Hamilton 

Local School District and an employee of 

the village of Obetz, so it made sense for us 

to stay in this area,” said Duncan. “We love 

living in Obetz, as it is so close to downtown 

Columbus and is experiencing a lot of 

growth. When I was job hunting, Hamilton 

Local School District was extremely attractive 

to me as it was close to home, has a 

great atmosphere of family and community, 

and named as Top Workplace by 

‘Columbus CEO.’” 

Obetz Zucchinifest 


Village of Obetz officials are hopeful that the 2021 Obetz Zucchinifest will be held 

Sept. 3-6. The event will feature food, music, rides, and entertainment at Fortress 

Obetz, 2015 Recreation Trail, Obetz. More information about the festival will be 

released when it is available. Visit www.obetzzucchinifest.com. Pictured here, The

REVIEW 

Continued from page 1 

The 2020 fall football season consisted 

of a tackle football and cheer program and 

a flag football program. Obetz partnered 

with Bally Sports to offer a full-contact 

alternative that met weekly in the Fortress 

where participants spent the first half of 

the day working on techniques and fundamentals, 

and then finish each day with 

competition. 

“Our turnout for the tackle football and 

cheer season was not greatly impacted by 

COVID,” said Youth Sports Director Jacob 

Gifford. “In fact, we had about a dozen 

more kids in 2020 than we did in 2019. Our 

season kicked off in July with our annual 

combine.” 

While the pandemic created challenges 

for other facilities in and around central 

Ohio, it presented new opportunities for 

the staff at Fortress Obetz, which hosted 

many first-time events in 2020, including 

the Under Armour All-America Middle 

School and High School Combine and 

Camp, OHSAA Junior High and High 

School Cross Country State 

Championships, OHSAA High School Post- 

Season Tournament Games, National 

Fallen Firefighters 9/11 Tribute Stair 

Climb and the Community Cup presented 

by the Columbus Foundation. 

Several safety measures related to the 

pandemic were developed and installed 

throughout municipal buildings by the village 

Research and Development department. 

Workers also designed, built, and 

installed more than two dozen custom 

lighted holiday displays. 

“We constructed the displays in rebar 

that we custom bent and welded before 

attaching the lights,” said Bill Baker. “We 

also integrated computer control units to 

the displays to allow for lighting effects. 

Baker said his team works on special 

projects and develops cost saving production 

techniques such as a custom stage and 

barrier system that allowed for a drivethrough 

graduation for Hamilton 

Township High School. The department 

also expanded its internal production capabilities 

this year by integrating a new pipe 

bending machine and several smaller tools. 

“From its days as a stagecoach junction, 

to its settling in 1834, its incorporation in 

1924, and its declaration of Charter in 

2010, Obetz has thrived for nearly 200 

years,” said Davisson. “In 2021, Obetz 

expects to exceed 5,000 residents and 

become a city under Ohio law. We will 

begin a new chapter in the history of 

Obetz.”



Groveport swimming pool opens Memorial Day weekend 



The Groveport Aquatic Center swimming pool will open 

Memorial Day weekend. 

“First and foremost, it is important for us to open the 

Aquatic Center this year to provide a recreation opportunity 

for the community,” said Groveport City Administrator 

B.J. King. “We are progressing toward a sense of normalcy. 

I am hopeful as the season progresses we are able to roll 

back some of the restrictions. The plan we are opening 

with is fluid and we will monitor it throughout the season. 

I look forward to the day that we can have a normal aquatics 

season — we are getting there.” 

Last summer the Groveport Aquatic Center did not 

operate per the recommendation of the Franklin County 

Health Department due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Groveport Recreation Director Kyle Lund and 

Aquatics Manager Seth Bower met with officials from 

Franklin County Public Health on April 22 to discuss the 

city pool’s Operations Plan, which outlines how the pool 

will safely operate this summer during the ongoing coronavirus 

pandemic. Franklin County Public Health endorsed 

the plan and the pool will open. Under the Groveport 

Aquatic Center Operations Plan: 

•Season passes will not be sold due to uncertainties, 

social distancing mandates, and a “desire by the city to serve 

as many people as possible.” Patrons may only buy day passes 

at a cost of $8 for Groveport residents and $12 for non-residents. 

Those age 2 and younger are admitted free. Group 

rate discounts are not available. Day passes are only valid 

for the session purchased (see session times below) and may 

not be transferred from one date to another. 

•The pool will be open May 29-31; closed June 1-3; open 

June 4 to Aug. 15; closed Aug. 16-20; open Aug. 21-22;

3; and open Sept. 4-6. 

•Operating hours will be from noon to 3 p.m.; closed 

from 3-4 p.m. for additional disinfecting; and open from 4- 

7 p.m. On July 4 the pool will be open from 1-4 p.m. and 

from 5-8 p.m. 

•The maximum capacity per each time block is 160 

patrons. (Normal maximum capacity is 1,000 patrons.) 

The maximum occupancy may be less during any session 

or day due to certified lifeguard availability. 

•Face masks required while waiting in line, entering 

the facility, while walking on the pool deck, using the restroom, 

leaving the facility, and when talking with city staff. 

Face masks are not required while sitting at your on deck

Face coverings are not permitted to be worn while in 

the water. Face masks are not required if under age 10, 

you have a medical respiratory condition, or when communicating 

with the hearing impaired where the ability to se 

the mouth is needed for communication. 

•There is a six foot social distancing requirement both

City officials plan to open the pool Memorial Day 

weekend and follow coronavirus pandemicsafety 

restrictions. 

Groveport Director of Facilities and Parks Management 

Tom Byrne said in a written report to council, “The outdoor 

pool is now filled with water, all pumps are installed, the 

playground is repaired, and hopefully all the systems will 

operate as designed.”

“e Paper Tigers” is a little gem of a film 

The middle-aged man seeking revenge 

trope has been at the forefront of the action 

genre for a while, but the latest entry offers 

something new and more realistic for those 

who may be tiring of the same old thing. 

Working from a script inspired by some 

of his favorite martial arts films in childhood, 

director Tran Quoc Bao lovingly 

pokes fun of these men of action, posing the 

question as to what would happen if they 

were not only middle-aged and out for 

revenge, but out-of-shape and out-of-skill 

too. 

When we meet these men who are seeking 

revenge in “The Paper Tigers,” 

vengeance is the last thing on their minds. 

In fact, it is their actions at this stage in 

their life that could create an origin story 

for villains everywhere. 

You see, these men are not yet men. 

They are teens in the prime of their lives 

and are widely thought to be some of the 

best kung fu disciples in the Seattle area. 

For years, these “three tigers” have been 

learning under the tutelage of the respected 

Sifu Cheung (Roger Yuan), who surprisingly 

does not run his small martial arts 

operation like Sensei John Kreese. Though 

insanely disciplined while training, he 

allows his proteges to let loose in beimo 

challenges which often lead to the public 

The Reel Deal 

embarrassment of their 

challenges. Thankfully, 

these defeats are only 

captured on VHS 

footage and will likely 

be blurred beyond 

recognition in the near 

future. 

Flying high on 

their success, the trio 

appear ready to take 

the leap to heights 

Dedra 

Cordle 

unknown in their sport, but an incident in 

Japan causes them to drift away from each 

other, their beloved Sifu, and all of the lessons 

they learned under his care. 

Fast forward 25 years and the tigers’ 

unequivocal leader Danny “8 Hands” 

(played by Alain Uy) is now using his quick 

handed skills to steer his minivan through 

the expressway while answering his phone 

at a thankless insurance job. Though able 

to smooth talk his way out of trouble at 

work, he does not have that same gift when 

it comes to his ex-wife (Jae Suh Park) and 

their unimpressed preteen son Ed (Joziah 

Lagonoy). 

After coming home one night after disappointing 

his family once again with his 

non-stop work habits, he is “pounced upon” 

by his childhood friend and fellow tiger 

Hing (Ron Yuan) who has put on some 

pounds over the decades. “A workplace 

accident,” he states defensively to those 

who point it out — and they do, constantly. 

While catching up on the years spent 

apart, Hing informs Danny that their Sifu 

recently died of an apparent heart attack. 

Before agreeing to go, Danny tells Hing 

that they need to keep this information 

from their third tiger Jim (Mykel Shannon 

Jenkins) because he does not want to see 

him ever again. 

During the service, they run into an old 

nemesis of theirs who they constantly 

embarrassed during those notorious beimo 

challenges of yore. But while they may 

have given up on practicing kung fu, Carter 

“No Hands” (Michael Page) has not. 

Wanting to get a bit of revenge for this 

childhood suffering, Sifu Carter dangles 

the rumor that Sifu Cheung was killed by 

an unknown fourth protégé of his and challenges 

them to get justice for their fallen 

mentor. 

Knowing that they cannot say no to the 

challenge laid down before them, Danny 

and Hing determine that they need Jim in 

order to solve this mystery and apprehend 

this dangerous suspect. But they soon realize 

that muscle memory doesn’t really 

apply to them, and that their creaky joints 

may give them away — or give out entirely 

— before they can bring them to justice. 

While a quintessential revenge film, 

there is little blood to be found in “The 

Paper Tigers.” Instead, Tran Quoc Bao 

switches out the gore and swords for more 

family-friendly fare that focuses on relationship 

drama and juvenile jokes about 

aging, weight gain and bodily noises. It’s a 

bit different from what we have become 

accustomed to in this genre, but it works 

and works well. 

With its deviation from the norm and its 

lack of a body count after the initial killing 

(though it does not lack action and some 

violence), “The Papers Tigers” will likely 

not gel with hardcore fans of this genre. 

But I think, if you’re willing to give something 

new a chance, you won’t be disappointed 

with this little gem of a film. 

“The Paper Tigers” is in select theaters 

but streaming nationally on demand.
