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

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.

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.

City receives ‘best practices’ award
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.
“Grove City’s creative GIS team continues
to excel, converting complicated GIS
data to user-friendly mapping services,”
said Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage.

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.
