Monterey Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Association

conjured up a good time for the community when it hosted its

annual Fall Festival on Oct. 22. For close to two hours, dozens

of little ghouls and goblins played games, scored free candy,

and burned off some of their sugar-induced energy by accessing

the haunted playground. Among the night’s attendees taking

part in the latter activity was Savannah Lines, (top right) a

9-year-old vampiress who wanted to hone her climbing skills.

While legend has it that vampires can scale buildings intrinsically,

the hidden truth is they have to practice from time-totime.

Renaming two

middle schools

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

The South-Western City Schools board

of education asked the community for their

input regarding the potential renaming of

Brookpark Middle School and Pleasant

View Middle School as the second phase of

the Ohio Facilities Construction

Commission project nears completion.

Of the four middle schools being

replaced, only these two are being relocated

— Brookpark Middle School, currently

located on Southwest Boulevard, will open

the 2022-23 school year in the Beulah Park

Living subdivision while Pleasant View

Middle School, currently located on Kropp

Road, will open the 2022-23 school year on

Holt Road, adjacent to Bolton Crossing

Elementary. Finland Middle and Norton

Middle are being constructed near its

existing locations.

According to district officials, more than

4,000 members of the community, including

students and staff, participated in the

renaming survey. Of that number, more

than 1,600 participated in the survey to

rename Brookpark Middle School while

more than 2,400 participated in the survey

to rename Pleasant View Middle School.

Among those who participated in the

survey to rename Brookpark Middle, 59

percent said they preferred renaming the

building Beulah Park Middle School. It

was followed by 16 percent preferring to

keep the current name, and 8 percent stating

their preference to call the school

Demorest Middle.

The issue that would have arisen if the

community decided to retain the name of

Continued from page 1

Brookpark Middle, said Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise,

would be confusion as there are no plans to demolish

the building on Southwest Boulevard.

“It would not make sense to have two Brookpark

Middle Schools,” he said during the Oct. 25 board of

education meeting where the survey results were

unveiled. “There would be confusion over the new one

versus the old one.”

He also mentioned the agreement that was reached

between the district and the city of Grove City in 2019

regarding the use of the site. Under the terms of that

agreement, the city purchased land in the Beulah Park

Living subdivision for the construction of the new middle

school in exchange for the use of the building on

Southwest Boulevard. The district will retain 20 percent

usage of the building for educational purposes, if

needed. The city has yet to determine how it will utilize

the space.

visit bit.ly/beds4westland21.

Among those who participated in the survey to

rename Pleasant View Middle School, 58 percent said

they preferred to keep the name as is. It was followed

by 22 percent preferring the name Pleasant Crossing

Middle, and 14 percent stating their preference to call

the school Pleasant View Crossing.

No members of the board expressed any objection to

the survey results. Lee Schreiner said he liked that

Brookpark and Beulah Park have the same acronyms.

“I think it is fitting that it’s in Beulah, and we’re

keeping the ‘Park’ aspect of it,” he said.

The board intends to make a final recommendation

at its meeting in November.

Wise said the next step in the process is the determination

of school colors and mascots at the new

Beulah Park Middle School. He added that the decision

will be student-driven. He expects the results to

be unveiled in late February.

Grove City Editor

The city of Grove City is planning to repair the

Demorest Road corridor, but officials will need to

acquire property to do so.

At the Oct. 18 meeting, Grove City Council passed

legislation authorizing the appropriation of property

and easements from multiple properties for the road

improvement project.

According to Stephen Smith, the city’s law director,

this legislation includes 35 properties, though some of

the land is already city-owned. Smith said the city is

negotiating with 25 property owners. He said thus far,

six have signed contracts with the city and he expects

a few more in the coming days. Ten property owners

have yet to settle with the city.

“I feel like we’ve done everything we can to work

this out,” said Smith. “I’m going to continue to negotiate

until the last possible minute to try to get this done

amicably.”

According to Smith, there are a few property owners

who do not wish to sell their land to the city. He

believes the city will have to use eminent domain to

obtain the property.

Eminent domain is a legal term for the government’s

power to take private property and change it to

public use, according to the Ohio Attorney General.

Cities can take private land for public roads, sidewalks,

bike paths, or multi-use trails. The municipalities

are required to pay the property owner fair market

value.

The City Beat

City needs property for road project

Smith said Grove City has a quick-take power.

“This is a law that will not allow one property owner

to hold up a city project,” said Smith.

The law director said most property owners are

excited about the road project, but others fear that the

road is going to take up too much of their front yard.

He said the project is adding about six feet of pavement

on each side of the road.

The project will include full pavement reconstruction

of existing roadway, an additional center turn

lane, a multi-use trail and sidewalk with ADA

(Americans with Disabilities) compliant curb ramps,

and replacement of existing storm sewer with a curb

and gutter system.

Earlier this month, city council approved funding

for the first phase of Demorest Road improvements.

Council voted to appropriate about $5.6 million from

the city’s capital improvement fund for Demorest Road

improvements. This cost includes the land acquisitions.

The legislation passed allows the city’s law director

to file for eminent domain in court. The court process

would then negotiate a price with the property owners

who did not settle with the city.

The only council member to vote against the ordinance

was Aaron Schlabach.

“I do believe Demorest Road needs widened but I

have a problem with eminent domain,” he said.

Smith said he does not want to file a lawsuit, but

said in some cases, it is necessary.

“It’s not for lack of effort,” said Smith. “We are taking

every step we can not to go down that road.”

Leaf Collection

The city of Grove City offers residential leaf collection beginning

Monday, Oct. 18. Each of the city’s four defined areas is

scheduled two collection weeks through Friday, Dec. 17. Crews

travel each street once during the designated week.

Prior to 7 a.m. the Monday of the designated collection week,

homeowners should rake only leaves to the grassy area between

the street and sidewalk, or to the edge of the lawn, if there is no

sidewalk. The service equipment works efficiently on leaves, but

is easily damaged by branches, twigs, grass clippings, rocks and

other debris. Leaf piles will not kill grass, although temporary

fading may occur.

Do not rake or blow leaves into the street, as this can cause

storm sewer blockages and parking issues. Vehicles should not be

parked in front of, or on top of, leaves during scheduled collection

weeks.

Planned collection dates may change due to weather conditions

and when the leaves fall. The leaf collection map and schedule is

posted on the city website at GroveCityOhio.gov. For more information,

call the Grove City Service Department at 614-277-1100.

Q: How often should someone with diabetes

get an eye exam?

A: Someone with diabetes should see an eye care professional at least

once a year for a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

Q: How can diabetes affect my vision?

A: Over time, diabetes damages small blood vessels throughout the body,

including the retina. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when these tiny blood

vessels leak blood and other fluids. This causes the retinal tissue to swell,

resulting in cloudy or blurred vision. The condition usually affects both

eyes. The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely they will develop

diabetic retinopathy. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause

blindness. (AOA)

Symptoms include: seeing spots or “floaters”, blurred vision, and difficulty

seeing at night.

Grove City Editor

Flooding in certain parts of Grove City

have been a problem for many residents

and city leaders are reviewing ways to alleviate

the water issues.

At the Oct. 18 meeting, Grove City

Council listened to a stormwater evaluation

presentation from engineers at

EMH&T. Mike Keller, with the firm, said

they studied neighborhoods in the older

Grove City area, west of Hoover Road, as

well as areas within the Grove City Creek

and West Water Run watersheds.

“This is where the majority of the flooding

is reported,” said Keller.

Keller said flooding is common in older,

urban areas because the storm sewers

were constructed in the 1960s or earlier.

According to the engineer’s report, there

have been more than 30 significant rain

events over the past 15 years in the study

area. In March of 2020, more than four

inches of rain fell in just over 24 hours. In

May 2020, more than three inches fell in 32

hours, and in July of the same year, 2.8

inches of rain came down in one hour.

“We’ve had three pretty significant rain

events in the past few years,” said Keller.

Just a few months ago, downtown

streets were flooded from a quick, heavy

rain event.

Engineers have proposed a few

stormwater improvement projects. One

such project would be to replace 1,037 linear

feet of 12-inch to 18-inch storm sewer

lines with 18 to 24-inch storm sewer lines

around Security and La Rosa drives near

Columbus Street. Engineers have reported

flooding in this area resulting from sewer

capacity limitations. This proposed sewer

replacement would run around $1.2 million.

The Kingston Avenue area also sees

urban flooding from limited sewer capacity.

The EMH&T report suggests replacing

the 30-inch storm sewer with a 36-inch

storm sewer. This would cost approximately

$300,000.

Stormwater improvements east of

Haughn Road, at Sawyer Court, were also

recommended. Engineers proposed a new

sewer outlet and stream improvements.

This project would involve easement acquisition

and would run the city around

$400,000. That cost does not include land

acquisitions.

“We see the problem,” said councilman

Randy Holt. “Now, we have options and

possible solutions.”

Since 2000, the city has made over $13

million in investments into the sanitary

and stormwater systems. Last year, the

city appropriated $200,000 for a sewer

backup protection program that helps

property owners with water in their basement.

This program brings older properties

into city code compliance and/or provides

additional protection from flooding in basements.

In the spring of 2020, nearly 100

residents requested assistance from the

program after water was reported in their

basement.

According to Keller, the engineers will

now take comments and concerns from

council members and city officials before

moving forward with a draft report.

The award recognizes the Grove City

GIS team, led by GIS Administrator Nick

Soltes, for creating and maintaining all

types of digital geographical data for multiple

internal and external applications

including viewing property parcels, refuse

collection and other city services data

through mapping applications available on

the city’s website.

Neighbor to Neighbor program

can help with heating costs

The AEP Ohio Neighbor to Neighbor Program is now accepting

applications for utility assistance grants for the 2021-22 winter

heating season.

Through a partnership between AEP Ohio and Dollar Energy

Fund, the Neighbor to Neighbor Program supports families in

need with a grant applied directly to their AEP Ohio account to

prevent disconnection of, or to restore their electric service.

Heating assistance is available once per program year on a firstcome,

first-served basis. Eligible account holders may apply

through April 30, 2022, while funds are available.

“We’re committed to providing assistance to those who may be

struggling to make ends meet whether it is due to job loss or unexpected

expenses,” said Brian Billing, energy efficiency consumer

programs manager for AEP Ohio. “Through this heating program,

we can help to ensure our customers, especially the elderly and

those with health problems, can maintain their electric service

during the cold winter months.”

Since AEP Ohio and Dollar Energy Fund launched the

Neighbor to Neighbor Program in May 2009, more than $15.6 million

in assistance has been granted to more than 65,000 Ohio

households.

To apply, customers may contact one of the AEP Ohio Neighbor

to Neighbor Program’s network of more than 120 Ohio community-based

organizations. To qualify, an applicant’s total gross

household income must be at or below 300 percent of the Federal

Poverty Income Guidelines. For example, a family of four earning

up to $79,500 per year is income-eligible for the program.

Households must have made payments to AEP Ohio totaling at

least $75 in the three months prior to applying for a grant and owe

a minimum of $50 on their AEP Ohio bill. Full eligibility guidelines

and application instructions can be found at

AEPOhio.com/helpaneighbor.

Hallmarks of Inauguration Day

Every four years, citizens of the United States have

the opportunity to vote for the highest office in the

country - the President of the United States.

American presidents are limited to two four-year

terms. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the only president

to ever serve more than two terms. The 22nd

Amendment to the United States Constitution says a

person can only be elected president twice. That

amendment was approved by Congress on March 21,

1947, and was ratified by the states on Feb. 27, 1951.

After a candidate is elected president and the

results are certified by Congress on Jan. 6, the public

eagerly awaits the Presidential Inauguration, which

occurs on Jan. 20 at noon. This ceremony marks the

start of a new four-year term. It takes place even if the

incumbent is reelected. The only time the inauguration

will not occur on Jan. 20 is if that date falls on a

Sunday. In such instances, the oath of office is taken

privately and then in a public ceremony the following

day.

Since the 1981 inauguration of President Ronald

Reagan, the ceremony has taken place at the west

front of the United States Capitol building facing the

National Mall. The only constitutional requirement for

the inauguration is the president takes his oath of

office. The remainder of the proceedings are about tradition,

but they are not a requirement.

Traditionally, the outgoing president takes part in

the ceremony.

The president will give an inaugural address after

being sworn in. Parades also occur after the inauguration,

and a lavish Inauguration Ball is held in honor of

the new president.

The inauguration of President Joe Biden on Jan. 20,

2021 was a memorable event after such a whirlwind

campaign season and election day. It may call to mind

some other iconic moments in inaugural history.

• Ulysses S. Grant requested live birds at his inaugural

ball. The day was very cold and the birds ended

up freezing to death.

• At the inauguration of Herbert Hoover, outgoing

First Lady Grace Coolidge and incoming First Lady

Lou Henry Hoover got lost in the Capitol building and

delayed the ceremony for 30 minutes.

• Lyndon Johnson took the oath aboard Air Force

One after the assassination of President John F.

Kennedy in 1963. The judge administering the oath

was a woman, and she was the first and only female

judge to swear in a U.S. President.

• When Barack Obama was sworn in, he became

the first African American individual to take the office.

Green Park plan proposed

The Solid Waste Authority of Central

Ohio (SWACO) has filed a rezoning application

with the city of Grove City to develop

350 acres of land into a Green Economy

Business Park to attract more green businesses,

jobs and revenue to central Ohio.

According to SWACO, based upon models

around the country and the economic

momentum behind recycled materials, the

site could create 2,000 to 3,500 manufacturing

jobs at good wages, producing

between $1.6 million and $4.2 million in

local tax revenues and between $350 million

and $500 million in capital investment.

The Green Economy Business Park

would use research, technology and

advanced manufacturing to bring together

the sustainable materials management

supply chain creating a sustainability destination

for businesses and workforce

alike.

“This is a growing sector of the economy

that must be accelerated,” said SWACO

Executive Director Ty Marsh. “I believe

this community has an opportunity to

attract and support even more businesses,

jobs and investment around recycling and

sustainability. That’s why we are confident

the time is right time for a Green Economy

Business Park in central Ohio.”

With more recyclable material available

and more companies making higher valued

products out of that material, there is a

rapidly emerging opportunity to protect

the environment in a way that also grows

the economy.

“By establishing a Green Economy

Business Park, SWACO is clearly moving

ahead of the traditional model of commercial

and industrial development,” said Jim

Schimmer, director of Franklin County

Economic Development and Planning.

“The ability to retain, attract and grow

companies with strong sustainability commitments

is critical to attracting the jobs of

the future.”

The greenfield property, owned by

SWACO, is located in Grove City across

from the Franklin County Sanitary

Landfill, a half-mile from I-71 and minutes

from downtown Columbus. The site has

existing gas, power, water, sewer and fiber

utilities. The site is currently zoned for

industrial use, however, SWACO is seeking

a zoning modification that would allow

for more modern use of the site and which

is aligned with SWACO’s goal to leverage

the waste stream for greater economic

opportunity.

The Green Economy Business Park is

one of several economic activities underway

by SWACO. In addition, the company

is working with Rev1 and has formed public-private

partnerships to turn gas from

landfills it owns into renewable energy

sources for central Ohioans.

A decision on the rezoning application is

expected in December.

Benefitting Buddy Ball

The Grove City Firecracker 5K group presented a check to the Buddy Ball board on

Oct. 21 at the Pinnacle Banquet Center. The check for over $18,000 will go toward

improvements needed for the field. The funds were raised through the Firecracker

5K event which was held in July. Next year’s event will be held July 4 at the Pinnacle

Golf Club. Sign up at runsignup.com/Race/Register/?raceId=81339.

Opinion Page

Surfing is one of my favorite hobbies

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be such

a good surfer, especially in my golden years with a

bionic hip. But here I am, surfing most every day now

and thoroughly enjoying it. Now before you start

laughing as you picture this falling apart, knobbykneed,

old man yelling woo-hoos at the top of his lungs

as he tries to keep his balance while riding his surfboard

atop a monster whitecap wave generated by a

fountain in the center of a local retention pond, let me

quickly relieve us all from that scary sci-fi image.

Words can have many meanings and they often take

on new ones over time. Such is the case of surfing. The

closest I’ve ever gotten and will ever get to the traditional

surfing image we oldsters envision is pulling out

my old vinyl Beach Boys album and playing, Surfer

Girl, Surfin’ U.S.A or Catch a Wave. I’m talking about

the newer surfing, i.e., snooping. That surfing is simply

sitting safely in front of the desk computer, banging

away on the keyboard and snooping the Internet.

It’s physically going nowhere but mentally going anywhere

and everywhere with my eyes and mind with a

simple stroke on the keyboard.

It can be great entertainment as it gets your brain

neurons firing away with informative thoughts, maybe

bringing back long-departed memories that are sometimes

sad, often funny, and occasionally downright

shocking as you update your memories with the more

recent surfing results you find. Surfing is basically

easy and free, assuming you have some patience and

free time.

Much of my Internet surfing is repetitive in nature.

Each day I check the news headlines from various

sources. That lasts until I get too ticked off or

depressed, and that doesn’t take long these days. Then

I check the sport’s scores and find what pitcher blew if

for the Indians this time, then how the Browns blew

another game they should have won. Next, I take a

deep breath, make sure my aspirin and Tums are nearby,

then look at the finance and stock market results.

I never try to rationalize them anymore as they usually

defy all common sense and expectations of any reality.

I spend lots of time surfing the horse racing world,

my favorite hobby. I scan the racing news and enter

picks for the many free daily handicapping challenge

contests I play in. Maybe today will be the day I move

up in the standings.

There’s one surfing I’ve really grown to appreciate

more as the years roll by. With all the dog walking I do

I find my mind wandering as I plod along. Sometimes

I think about the future. More frequently, I look back

in time recalling my life’s situations, where and when

I was, what I was doing. My ever-mounting question is

what became of the people I knew that touched my life.

Out of it comes new internet surfing, i.e., snooping.

The farther back in time your search goes, the more

difficult surfing becomes because the computer era

hadn’t even begun. Your findings may be sparse or

non-existent. But more importantly, when you’re in

your seventies, you must prepare yourself for the

harsh reality of life’s circles. When you start hitting

the keyboard looking for people you knew many years

ago, the odds are high you’ll quite often find nothing

more than an obit.

But sometimes a pleasant surprise awaits. Recent

surfing found an old family friend of my parents. Our

families had been quite close. I hadn’t seen him in over

50 years, so I expected the worst. But there he was, living

in the same home. I saw his wife had passed on,

but he was turning 98. I sent him a nice letter,

Guest Column

Dave Burton

attempting to update the many years, and birthday

greetings.

I was surprised when he called me on his birthday.

We talked for some time. We both chuckled as we

recalled our combined family trip to the North Pole to

see Santa. We kids weren’t dummies. We knew it wasn’t

the North Pole, it was a place called Santa’s Land

in Putney, Vermont. It was one of Santa’s satellite production

facilities and luckily Santa had flown in on his

sleigh for a meeting. And that picture I still have of us

with Santa and Rudolph, well, that wasn’t Rudolph,

they couldn’t fool me. It was Comet. The call made it a

special day for both of us. I promised to call him on his

100th birthday.

Most of my teachers have passed but surfing leads

to some insight and interesting fill-in data I wish I’d

known when they were teaching me. Maybe I would

have shown more respect and attentiveness. There was

my choir teacher: Served in the Navy during the

Korean conflict, an accomplished pianist and composer

and active and respected in theater and musicals on

Broadway. Another keystroke and there was my gym

teacher: He had his doctorate, was a standout athlete

with many awards, played baseball in the St. Louis

Cardinal organization, became director of athletics in

the large city school system after I’d graduated.

I found one of my old high school chums. We used to

travel into the big city to see Ranger hockey games at

the old Madison Square Garden. He was always in the

advanced high school classes, and I wasn’t surprised to

see he’d become a lawyer in a prestigious law firm near

Times Square in New York City.

It was fun surfing on my old college buddies. Sadly,

but the reality of life, more than a few have passed

away. I was surprised and disheartened to see a fraternity

brother I’d seen not too many years ago at a football

game up at Akron, when Syracuse visited and

played, had passed on. I found several articles detailing

how instrumental another fraternity brother’s

efforts have been in successfully cleaning up the once

beautiful, but now plagued with longstanding pollution,

lake that the city of Syracuse borders, Lake

Onondaga. Another very close classmate, who was in

ROTC with me, went on to become a Major General in

the Air Force with accolades galore.

One of my summer jobs in high school was doing

landscaping work at a beautiful estate. I really liked

the owner, but barely got to know him. A few keystrokes

and I found he passed away in 2013 in Austria.

He’d graduated Summa Cum laude from Princeton

and was a Navy carrier pilot in WW2. He worked for

an investment company in New York City, then

became a key financial assistant for the President at

the White House. Only by surfing years later did I

learn all this. I now wish I could have talked more with

him.

So many people pass into and out of our lives during

our lifetime. Some impact us more than others, some

not at all. Sadly, we too often don’t even realize the

extent until years later. Surfing the web gives us a

chance to go back in time and gain those answers and

a better understanding of our encounters and how they

may have influenced our lives.

Messenger Newspapers. He lives in Grove City.

Tracking county rescue plan funds

The Franklin County Commissioners have

launched a new webpage where residents can track

how the county uses funds from the American Rescue

Plan (ARP) to help the community recover from the

pandemic.

The site, Recovery.FranklinCountyOhio.gov provides

information about the ARP, what it means for

Franklin County, a graph of expenditures so far, and

links to information about the individual expenditures.

The commissioners have already allocated more than

$26 million for recovery.

“Our community will be feeling the effects of the

pandemic for years to come,” said board president

Kevin Boyce. “We got lots of input from our residents

about how we can best use this money to help them

and their families, and this webpage represents an

unprecedented level of transparency in how we’re

going to use this funding so that they can see in realtime

what we’re doing to help them recover.”

The American Rescue Plan was passed by Congress

and signed into law by President Joe Biden to help

Americans who are suffering from the ongoing effects

of the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes significant federal

resources to support a strong public health

response and vaccination strategy, provide direct

assistance to families, and deliver resources to local

governments to use in their own communities.

Franklin County will be receiving $256 million over

the next two years. Other parts of the ARP provided

resources for schools, healthcare providers, public

health agencies, and small businesses.

“The American Rescue Plan is important legislation

and provides significant resources to help our residents

recover, so we’re really glad to be able to get

those out into the community and working for

Franklin County families right away,” said commissioner

John O’Grady. “The new site provides important

information and resources, as well as a window

into our funding priorities.”

The commissioners held a public hearing and

solicited written testimony from the community to

learn about the challenges residents have faced over

the past 18 months and how they think this funding

can best be used to aid in recovery. Video of that hearing

and text of the written testimony can be found on

the commissioners’ new webpage along with federally

mandated reports on ARP spending and a link for residents

to continue to submit ideas for recovery funding.

“Too many Franklin County families were already

struggling before the pandemic, and the pandemic only

intensified these difficulties,” said commissioner Erica

Crawley. “The funding through the American Rescue

Plan is a lifeline to our county, our government and our

community partners. It will funnel desperately needed

resources to help our community recover and deal with

the impacts of the ongoing pandemic. We will ensure

the funding helps the most marginalized members of

our community, who were harmed most by the pandemic.”

An update to the commissioners’ American Rescue

Plan webpage is already planned, and will connect residents

in need directly to the resources that the commissioners

have funded with ARP dollars.

Recovery.FranklinCountyOhio.gov.

Like most women, I like to wear a pop of

color when I am looking or feeling listless.

My chosen preference is a nice red lip to

draw attention away from the worn expression

within and underneath my eyes but

occasionally I will pull out a bright shirt,

jacket, or, in these times, a mask to disguise

what is really going on inside.

The vampiric film “Night Teeth” is a bit

like that too: it covers itself in the world of

bright colors to convey a sense of strength,

energy, and life but really that stylized

flourish acts as a front for a story that is as

dull as a set of wooden choppers.

Like a new day, it begins promisingly

enough by laying out the mythos of this

tale; Since vampires first came to America

hundreds of years ago, they have been

engaged in a war with the humans in Los

Angeles. Many lives were lost and when

vampires began to lose the upper hand

despite all their power, they struck a truce

with regions of the state, especially those of

the Boyle Heights neighborhood who

proved to be the toughest opponents of the

creatures of the night.

This truce has held for more than a century,

largely because the vampires of the

area have to follow three rules: Rule number

one is that vampires cannot let humans

know they exist anymore. Rule number two

is that vampires are not permitted to feed

on the unwilling. And rule number three is

that the vampires never ever enter Boyle

Heights without permission.

After this intriguing intro, we meet

Victor (Alfie Allen) a centuries old vampire

who is no longer willing to live by those

rules. After failing to garner the support of

his fellow area vampires (this world is run

like “True Blood” where there are head

vampires for specific regions), he takes

matters into his own cold hands by kidnapping

the girlfriend of Jay (Raul Castillo),

the human truce-keeper between the

vamps and the residents of Boyle Heights.

Instead of continuing to focus on the

rapidly boiling tension between Victor and

Jay, both played by actors who have a fun

and magnetic intensity, the film pivots to

Jay’s sweet and clueless younger brother

Benny (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) who accidentally

stumbles into Victor’s overarching

plot to destroy the leaders of the vampiric

clans of L.A.

To be clear, Benny’s presence is not an

impediment to the story; in fact, the character

and the actor too prove to be a positive

for the film, serving as the audience’s

surrogate into the gory underworld as he

tries to do something we all do each day —

work for a paycheck. But it’s everything

else that goes along with his portion of the

story that weighs the film down.

For some quick cash, Benny takes over

Jay’s main job as a chauffeur for the rich

and dangerous. Jay tells him to keep his

head down, don’t ask questions, and survive

the night. His first (and only) clients of

the night are two women, Blaire and Zoe

(played by Debbie Ryan and Lucy Fry,

respectively), who provide him with a list of

five places to go with an order to complete

the task before sunrise.

During the ride to the first attraction of

the night, Blaire and Zoe mess with his

head a bit, asking questions about what he

would do if this was the last night of his

life. Though unnerved by the women, he is

drawn to them too, willing to do their bidding

despite thinking that something is

amiss.

At the first stop,

Benny hears

screams coming

from the mansion;

at the second, he

finds a bag filled

with money splattered

with blood. At

the third, he realizes that they are vampires,

sent out on a mission to cause deadly

chaos so Victor can take over the L.A.

scene. Unfortunately for Benny, his night

just gets worse as his story starts to revolve

around a slow bubbling romance with

Blaire, the least blood-thirsty of the two

vampire women (she’s also the more boring

of the dastardly duo, so there’s that).

Upon learning that Victor has his sights

set on Jay, Benny goes along with the vampires

as they wreak havoc across the neon

soaked city, even providing assistance to

them from time to time. His actions, some

puzzling and implausible, provide for some

of the biggest questionable decisions this

film makes, making “Night Teeth” feel as if

it were a first or second draft from writer

Brent Dillon, rather than the final one sent

in before the production started.

With storylines that bounce all over the

place and the abundance of missed opportunities

to showcase characters whose

actors were game for mischief and mayhem,

“Night Teeth” is a disappointing vampiric

film that, sadly, lacks bite. Though

the style of the film provided some flair and

entertainment (shots where the camera

flips slowly upside down was a nice touch),

you couldn’t help but think throughout the

viewing that this could have been something

more, something better, than it actually

was.
