Tim Rush believes in the possibilities

of a coffee shop — and he swears he does

not hold onto that belief just because he

founded one on the city’s westside with

his father, John, nearly five years ago.

In his view, when you step through its

doors you are opening your mind to a new

experience. Sometimes, the only thing

you may want to try is a different brew,

but other times you might be willing to

strike up a conversation with a stranger

because you never know when a new and

lasting friendship could be made.

He said if he ever begins to doubt his

faith in the power of a coffee shop, he will

remember the chance encounter he had

when two men walked into the Third Way

Café earlier this fall.

It was a typical day at the popular

community gathering place at 3058 West

Broad St. when an accented voice at the

counter caught his attention. At the time,

he said he didn’t make much of it as the

westside has become its own melting pot

of cultures throughout the years.

However, it was the questions he was

asking — some through acting as a translator

for his friend — that really sparked

his curiosity.

“Essentially, what they were asking

me were “coffee people” questions,” said

Rush. “They were asking me about pourovers,

they were asking me about natural

coffees, they were asking me about the

types of processing we use, and they were

asking what we do for our espressos.”

Although he was a little taken aback

by the line of questioning, he answered

all inquiries and made them his version

of a pour-over. He said that they were

less than impressed by the usual method.

The unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people is on display at the Third Way Café.

Throughout the month of December, the coffee shop at 3058 West Broad St. will be

hosting a charity exhibition featuring artwork from Ukrainian artist and war refugee,

Anastasia Manjul. According to the event organizers, proceeds raised from the sale

of her 20-piece “Unbreakable” collection will be donated to the men and women serving

on the frontlines in the war and their families. The exhibition can be viewed during

the café’s normal hours of operation, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and

Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. A reception and conversation with the artist and

her fellow refugees was held on Dec. 3 with dozens of members of the Ukrainian community

and the local westside community in attendance. Pictured in the front row

from left to right are Neitan Manjul, Anastasia Manjul, Abigail Vasilchuk, and Joshua

Vasilchuk. Pictured in the second row from left to right are Kate Shemchenko, Vitalii

Popov, Igor Manjul, Oleg Vasilchuk, Tetiana Vasilchuk, and Third Way Café co-owners

Tim Rush and Sarah Rush.

“They told me how bad it was,” he

joked.

“No, we did not say that to him,” interjected

Oleg Vasilchuk as Rush recounted

the story of their first meeting. “We only

said it was different from where we were

from.”

That response, said Rush, started a

three-hour long conversation that made a

profound and lasting impact on his life.

Around this time last year, Vasilchuk

and Igor Manjul were living in Odessa,

Ukraine with their growing families.

GHAC wants to

streamline meetings

By Dedra Cordle

Staff Writer

The Greater Hilltop Area Commission

could look to streamline its monthly meeting

schedule in the coming year.

At the full commission meeting held on

Dec. 6, the legislative body weighed the

merits of a proposal that calls for the consolidation

of its subcommittees.

As it currently stands, the area commission

that serves parts of the city’s westside

has nine subcommittees, a majority of

which meet on a monthly basis. The proposal

put forth by members of the human

services and education committee does not

recommend the elimination of any of the

nine subcommittees. Instead, they are

requesting that similar subcommittees

combine meeting dates to not only make

business run more smoothly, but also to

reduce the number of meetings commissioners

are required to attend each month.

“The Greater Hilltop Area Commission

is one of the larger legislative bodies and so

we have a lot of subcommittees and they all

meet individually,” said commissioner

James White in an interview after the

meeting. “Because we all serve on at least

two subcommittees, we are attending a lot

of meetings where there can be a lot of

overlap in what is discussed.

“This proposal would combine several of

these subcommittees so our commissioners

could have the time to attend the committee

meetings they are not on so we can all

have a better understanding of what is taking

place in the community and be more

proactive and do our jobs more efficiently

(when we meet as a full commission).

Under the proposal, the nine subcommittees

would be split into five groups. The

subcommittees that would be paired

together under this proposal would be community

relations and government and legislation;

public safety and liquor permit;

and human services and education and

planning and economic development. The

subcommittees that would still be held by

themselves are finance, recreation and

parks, and zoning.

White explained that the former meets

on an ad hoc basis to discuss the budget,

while the latter two subcommittees need to

be held on their own due to the logistics of

what they do. White also serves on the

recreation and parks committee and said

he did not feel it was “fair” to ask other

committees to come out to their meetings

as they are held in the parks where they

often clean up the grounds.

Several of the commissioners said that

while they were in favor of the consolidation

request, they did question whether the

committees should be paired differently.

For instance, members of the public safety

committee said they felt it would make

more sense to be paired at meetings with

members of the economic development and

planning committee or the human services

and education committee rather than the

liquor permit committee.

White said the rationale behind pairing

the public safety committee with the liquor

permit committee is because of the overlap

when discussing whether businesses

should be given the clearance to serve alcohol

on their premises.

“A lot of times, (the issue of safety)

comes into it because that establishment in

the past could have had violations so it

made sense to lump it into public safety

because it can become a public safety nuisance,”

he said.

Commissioner Patrick Barnacle said

while he did agree with that reasoning, he

felt the liquor permit committee should be

kept on an ad hoc basis and that public

safety should be paired with another committee

such as human services and education.

“I would also note that some of the public

safety concerns do come from the youth

who are school age, so there is a lot of overlap

between those groups,” he said.

Although most of the commission did

seem in favor of making adjustments to the

subcommittee meeting schedule, they did

not vote upon the presented proposal at the

meeting. They said they will continue to

discuss which subcommittees should be

paired together — or whether to make any

changes to the monthly meeting schedule

at all.

“This is not set in stone,” said Victoria

Bates-Frye. “We have options to switch it

up as we see fit.”

In other news, the commission pushed

back its nominations to appoint an individual

to serve via appointment at the meeting.

Instead, the vote will take place at the

full commission meeting on Jan. 3, 2023.

However, commissioner Rachel Wenning

did formally nominate James White for

consideration during the meeting. White

Winter Reading Challenge

back at Columbus Library

Columbus Metropolitan Library is

bringing back for a fifth year its Winter

Reading Challenge, in which students can

earn prizes by reading over break. A twist

on CML’s Summer Reading Challenge,

Winter Reading Challenge aims to keep

reading skills strong when students are out

of school over the holidays. From the beginning

of December through Jan. 31, K-12

students can pick up a game board at

CML’s 23 locations throughout Franklin

County.

The annual program challenges students

to track their progress as they read

for 20 days and complete five activities on

their game boards. Examples of game

board activities include “Read a book about

science,” “Read a book in a series,” “Read a

book about a holiday” and many more. Just

for signing up, students can select a prize

from the library’s Treasure Box. Students

who complete the program will earn a book

to keep, as well as a drawstring bag.

Last winter, approximately 3,800 students

participated in the program.

Studies show that kids who read during

out-of-school time maintain reading skills

that are critical to future school success.

The Third Grade Reading Guarantee in

Ohio means many central Ohio third

graders could repeat the grade if they don’t

pass state proficiency testing. This year’s

Winter Reading Challenge is supported by

Altrusa International of Columbus and

Battelle.

Meyers, 4, put the finishing touches on a few presents he picked out in the gift

shop at the Trinity United Methodist Church’s Breakfast with Santa event on Dec.

3. Coss is a member of the church in Lilly Chapel and volunteered to help the

youngsters wrap their gifts. All of the items within the gift shop were purchased by

members of the congregation and the greater community so the children could

Grant awarded to fund public health programs

The Franklin County Commissioners

continued the ongoing investment in public

health initiatives for residents by providing

a more-than $1.7 million grant to Franklin

County Public Health (FCPH).

The grant will support FCPH’s

Community Health Improvement Plan,

which is a collective impact strategy to

identify core health priority areas that

impact the health and wellbeing of

Franklin County residents and to develop

plans to address those community-wide. In

addition, the funding will provide for training

for FCPH staff, strategic planning,

upgraded data and technology infrastructure,

and additional resources to bring the

agency’s services into the community to

meet residents where they are.

“We’ve seen over the past three years

how important it is to have a strong public

health infrastructure,” said board of commissioners

president Erica Crawley. “The

pandemic has been difficult for all of us,

but it’s also exacerbated health disparities

that already existed in that communities

that were already struggling are in even

worse shape today. Franklin County Public

Health is working to identify those residents

and the challenges they face, and put

interventions in place to help them get

back on track for better health and success

in the community.”

Over the course of the pandemic, the

commissioners have increased funding of

public health initiatives to unprecedented

levels, from funding the 1,000-bed overflow

surge hospital at the convention center to

providing additional space for residents in

homeless shelters to quarantine, and from

purchasing and distributing hundreds of

thousands of pieces of PPE to funding community-wide

educational campaigns

around masking and vaccinations. In 2020,

the commissioners also provided funding

when they and the health department

declared racism to be a public health crisis

in order to support a new associate director

for diversity, equity, and inclusion at

Franklin County Public Health.

“Franklin County has become a leader

in the public health space in Ohio, and

we’re not going to slow down now,” said

commissioner John O’Grady. “Too often

over the past three years, we’ve seen people

here and around the country trying to curtail

strong, science-based public health policy

and some Americans have suffered

because they’re getting bad advice or their

local public health agencies aren’t funded

well. Here in Franklin County, we’re fortunate

enough to have the resources to invest

in our residents in this way, and it’s not

hard to see the benefits they reap from it.”

The new grant funding is made available

via the American Rescue Plan, and

will fund additional diversity, equity, and

inclusion training for FCPH staff as well as

other ongoing professional development. In

addition, it will help the agency upgrade its

data collection and analytics capabilities

and support ongoing strategic planning

efforts, fund Stop The Bleed trainings, and

provide grants to support the use of ACEs,

the Adverse Childhood Experiences assessment.

“There are so many barriers already

standing in the way of success for many of

our neighbors, and a lack of basic health

information and access to basic care

shouldn’t be one of them,” said commissioner

Kevin Boyce. “Those are problems for

which we have solutions, and we’re excited

to be able to partner with Franklin County

Public Health in their ongoing mission to

address inequities in healthcare and to

plan for future public health needs.”

The commissioners’ grant will also allow

Franklin County Public Health to procure

a mobile vaccination vehicle, an emergency

preparedness vehicle, and vehicles for community

health experts to use throughout

the community as well as supplies for the

distribution of Naloxone.

“This investment from the board of commissioners

will enhance critical public

health capabilities such as increased datasharing,

communications, and organizational

competencies,” said Franklin County

Public Health Commissioner Joe Mazzola.

“The funding will also improve program

accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.

We are grateful for the continued support

of our county commissioners and county

administration as we collectively work to

improve the health of our community.”

You can learn more about Franklin

County Public Health and its mission and

initiatives at MyFCPH.org. To see how

American Rescue Plan to help the community

Columbus recognized for climate action plan

As the city of Columbus approaches the one-year

anniversary of its Climate Action Plan, the Carbon

Disclosure Project (CDP) — a global environmental

nonprofit dedicated to supporting and advancing local

climate action efforts — has recognized Columbus as

one of 122 “A List” cities and counties for taking bold

leadership on environmental action and transparency,

despite various economic challenges occurring around

the world.

“Climate change is real, and its effects are already

impacting our neighborhoods,” said Columbus Mayor

Andrew Ginther. “That is why we launched the

Climate Action Plan and are working to bolster our

resiliency while creating a cleaner, healthier

Columbus for our children and grandchildren. It is

incumbent upon us to act while we can still make a difference

and share our progress with the community in

a transparent and proactive fashion.”

CDP rankings are based on environmental data disclosed

by local governments to the CDP-ICLEI Track

platform. To score an A, local governments must disclose

their data, maintain a community-wide emissions

inventory, and have published a climate action

plan. A List governments must also complete a climate

risk and vulnerability assessment, as well as possess a

climate adaptation plan to demonstrate how they will

tackle climate-related hazards. Nearly 20,000 organizations

disclosed data to CDP-ICLEI Track in 2022,

including more than 18,700 companies comprising 50

percent of global market capitalization, and over 1,100

cities, states, and regions.

“Congratulations to Columbus for earning a spot on

the CDP Cities A List – one of 49 cities and counties

in North America to make the list in 2022,” said Katie

Walsh, head of cities, states, regions and public

authorities, CDP North America. “Columbus is in the

vanguard of cities and counties leading the way toward

a climate-safe future.”

Over the past year, the city of Columbus has also

made significant progress toward meeting goals and

targets within its Climate Action Plan — which aims to

achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and a 45 percent

reduction in emissions by 2030 while imparting equity

and environmental justice.

Accomplishments from 2022 include:

•Passage of an equitable EV Readiness Ordinance

to support the transition to zero-emission vehicles.

•Launched the Empowered! clean-energy jobs program

in partnership with IMPACT Community Action,

focusing on communities of color, women and opportunity

neighborhoods.

•Announced weekly residential recycling pickup to

begin in 2023.

•Funded a Solar Co-Op campaign in partnership

with Solar United Neighbors to support residential

onsite solar, with over 260 Columbus-area residents

joining the co-op.

•Participated in a national Urban Heat Island mapping

campaign to engage residents in how heat

impacts the community.

•Partnered with IMPACT to receive a $2 million

Department of Energy grant for deep energy retrofits

for the American Addition net-zero neighborhood

effort.

Through its Sustainable Columbus initiative, the

city is working with residents and community partners

to build on these achievements. Expanded staffing

capacity, equitable engagement and transparent,

accessible goal-tracking will further advance the

Climate Action Plan in 2023 and beyond.

Before millions of people across the country gobbled up a variety of calorie-filled

dishes on Thanksgiving Day, thousands of people throughout the region came to

the city of Grove City to pound the pavement for the 11th annual Thanksgiving

Wattle. According to event organizer Mark Sigrist, more than 1,700 cyclists, runners,

walkers, and wheelchair users signed up for this year’s 5K race, the most they

have ever had throughout its history. “Unfortunately, we had to turn some people

away because it was so packed,” he said. Although the organizers were saddened

to have denied entry to dozens of would-be participants, they were ultimately

pleased with the results of the day as more than $30,000 was raised for the local

food pantry. “It’s always a good day when we can give back to the community in

some way,” said Sigrist. Here, Galloway resident Kelsey Cook takes part in the event

and prepares to cross the finish line with Biscuit Cassner leading the charge.

Biscuit’s humans were also participating in the race but Cook said that the Golden

retriever wanted to run with her.

The Christmas tree in Grove City made for a great photo opportunity for families.

Christmas tree tips

Christmas trees are an iconic symbol of

the holiday season. Whether they are personal

trees nestled in the corner of a living

room for families to enjoy or towering evergreens

serving as the focal point of a town

square, Christmas trees are a wonder to

behold.

Many people have fond memories of

time spent around the Christmas tree

sharing gifts and family traditions. Live

trees and their pine-like aroma can be

especially nostalgic trees to include in holiday

plans. The National Christmas Tree

Association says that approximately 25 to

30 million real Christmas trees are sold in

the United States every year. North

American trees hail from all 50 states and

areas of Canada.

While freshly cut trees can be particularly

beautiful and aromatic additions to

the season, they require a bit more work

than artificial trees in order to remain

beautiful and thrive throughout the holiday

season. Maintenance can help keep

Christmas trees as perfect as possible.

• Even though it is tempting to buy a

real tree as early as possible, their shelf life

is limited even with the best care. Dural

Christmas Tree Farm advises that, under

the best conditions, a real tree should last

up to four weeks before drying out.

• Consider the needles when looking for

a real tree. Pull your hand toward your

body along the branches. If many needles

fall off, the tree is past its peak.

• Think about the room in which the

tree will be located. Leave at least six inches

between the tip of the tree and the ceiling,

accounting for the height of the tree

stand as well.

• If needle retention is a goal, the Scotch

pine variety has the best needle retention

and a high survival rate, lending to its popularity,

offers Precision Tree and

Landscape. Douglas fir and balsam fir are

other durable trees.

• If possible, buy a freshly cut tree from

a reputable nursery or tree farm, advises

The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Many pre-cut

trees sold elsewhere were likely cut weeks

before and may not be fresh.

• Cut the bottom of the tree trunk

before bringing it home to facilitate the

uptake of fresh water daily. Trees can

absorb as much as a gallon of water in a

day, so make sure the tree gets fresh water

every day.

• Keep trees away from as many heat

sources as possible and away from direct

sunlight to prolong longevity.

• According to Karabin Farms in

Connecticut, to make a Christmas tree last

longer, boil a gallon of water and then dissolve

one cup of sugar in the water. Allow

to cool. After freshly cutting the trunk,

pour in the warm sugar water. Continue to

add fresh, cool, plain water to the tree

stand afterward.


Holiday Gift Ideas

Holiday Gift Ideas

Gifts ideas for your furry friends

Holiday shoppers who are busy making

lists and checking them twice should make

sure they don’t overlook the family pet.

Christmas has gone to the cats and dogs, as

a greater number of people include their

companion animals when selecting gifts

each year.

A study by OnePoll conducted by

Rover.com, the nation’s largest network of

dog sitters and walkers, found that 95 percent

of pet owners have bought holiday

gifts for their pets. Gifts can range from

everyday needs, like food and treats, to

more lavish extravagances like spa treatments.

Pet owners who plan to get their pets

gifts this year may want to consider some

of the emerging pet trends as they browse

wares and services. The Balance, a business,

career and industry information site,

says pet industry trends point toward

these segments seeing growth.

Natural pet products

Just as people are interested in protecting

the health of the planet and their own

personal health, so, too, are they extending

this concern to companion animals.

Natural pet products, which can include

natural flea and tick remedies, holistic

foods, organic items, and all-natural

grooming products, can make great gifts.

Specialty pet services

The American Pet Products Association

says the demand for high-end pet grooming

and other services is substantial. In addition,

personalized training, behavioral consulting,

portrait photography, dog sitting,

and upscale spa treatments like pet Reiki

and massage are booming.

Mobile pet grooming

Mobile pet grooming has become the

norm in many areas. Mobile pet grooming

can reduce the potential stress on animals,

and tends to be very convenient for customers,

particularly seniors and others

Get out of the house and ring in 2023 at a New

Year’s Eve party that is rated one of the best in

Columbus.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel, 6500 Doubletree

Ave., will host Mike Albert and The Big “E” Band

at this 16th annual New Year’s Eve bash.

Albert is an award winning “Elvis Presley

impersonator.” His wardrobe, voice and amazing

wit makes for a wonderful show.

You can get a full service dinner, drinks, room,

hats and horns, champaign toast at midnight along

with a full breakfast New Year’s Day for only

who have mobility issues.

Beyond these growing trends, pet owners

have a bevy of other ideas from which

to choose. Here are just a few different suggestions:

• tests to detect pets’ DNA and trace

breed and ancestry,

• interactive puzzles to keep pets

engaged and banish boredom,

• stylish storage baskets for pet toys,

• hidden cat litter or dog crate items

that camouflage commonly used pet items,

• heated pet bed for cozy nights and

mornings, and

• signature vests, coats and sweaters to

look good and remain comfortable.

PAID ADVERTISING

Ring in the new year with Mike

Albert’s Elvis tribute show

$319 per couple. There is also a party package for

$250 per couple or $150 per single. Tickets are

limited. For reservations, call (614) 792-3135.

Metro Parks celebrate

50 years of Winter Hikes

In Ohio, people often assume that the

winter means a time to cuddle up inside

and avoid the outdoors.

Fifty years ago, Metro Parks challenged

central Ohioans to bundle up and enjoy the

parks throughout the winter by creating

the Winter Hikes series. The hikes were

originally set up with a naturalist and volunteers

leading visitors along a different

trail each Saturday from January to

February. Hikers could enjoy soup and

camaraderie after the hikes. A crowd of 75

hikers was a very good day in the parks

during those early years.

About 10 years ago, winter hike crowds

began to surge and it was no longer shocking

to see 1,000 hikers on a Saturday

morning. Hikers were encouraged to go on

their own self-guided walk as the naturalists

and volunteers could no longer lead a

walk for that many visitors at once. Soup

and fun was still a major part of the hike

series, although some decided to avoid the

crowd and eat elsewhere after their hikes.

As with all things, the pandemic forced the

hike series to change and it shifted to a

self-guided, avoid the crowds, concept.

This year, for the 50th anniversary of

the Winter Hikes series, Metro Parks are

bringing back some of the tradition while

still keeping things flexible. Visitors can

hike any trail, any time from December to

February as part of the series. Each month

will feature different parks where you can

take a walk, get your hike card stamped

and maybe join a group for a walk. Hike

under the Twinkling Lights in December

and in January and February enjoy hot

drinks and treats or search for a collectible

winter hike wooden medallion along the

trail.

Participants can:

•Visit the parks highlighted each

month and hike any trail during the designated

month.

•Have a staff member stamp your

Winter Hikes card.

•Hike seven parks to earn a Metro Park

Winter Hikes patch.

•Visit Friends of Metro Parks to find

out how to earn hike medallions and additional

swag.

For more information on Winter Hikes,

visit metroparks.net/winter-hikes.

Pets of the week

Martha is a very

sweet but shy girl.

Martha and her littermates

were found in

a laundry room with

no windows or toys to

play with. They were

in that room for nine

months. Now that

Martha has been rescued,

she would love

a window to watch the outside world. A quiet

home would be best for her. She gets along

with other cats but has never been around a

dog. Adopt Martha from Friends for Life

Animal Haven

FYI: fflah.org


These furry friends are available

for adoption at local

rescues and shelters

Buckeye is a 10-

year-old mixed

breed. This sweetheart

loves to give

kisses, cuddle, and

sleep on the sofa. He

also loves a good

game of tug of war.

Buckeye is housebroken

and will proudly sit for a soft treat. He is

playful with the resident dog in his foster

home, and is friendly with people he meets.

Buckeye’s holiday wish is that he finds a very

loving and cozy forever home.

FYI: franklincountydogs.com

Almond Joy is so

much fun to have

around. She is excited

about walks, toys,

and treats. She loves

everyone and makes

friends everywhere

she goes. Almond

Joy loves kids as

much as she loves any other human. She is

not a huge fan of other dogs, but she walks

politely past them in public. She can be active

one moment and then lazy on the couch the

next. Overall, this girl would be a perfect pal

for anyone who gives her pets and attention.

Community Focus

Ambassadors are helping students grow

More than 100 different languages are spoken in Columbus

City Schools, and the district is always looking for ways to engage

with non-English speaking families. One essential part of these

connections is the family engagement staff.

Student with family ambassador The Department of

Engagement works alongside CCS families to maximize student

achievement and growth. As part of this mission, family ambassadors

are placed in schools where they work to connect with families.

In addition, CCS employs several bilingual family ambassadors

across the district to expand its outreach. For some families,

having a bilingual ambassador is crucial.

“Being able to speak two languages is a gift,” said Valleyview

Elementary School family ambassador Maria Alcauter. “It’s amazing

what a language can do for somebody else.”

Alcauter speaks both English and Spanish. Before becoming a

family ambassador, she saw a need in the community for additional

Spanish-speaking resources. She has been working with

Valleyview for a month. Still, she was attending events and aiding

families before she began officially working in the role.

“Before even starting, I was ready to go. I was eager to understand

what a family ambassador did,” she said. “I wanted to connect

with families and have a bond with my colleagues when I

started.”

Alcauter is working with a student who recently moved to the

United States from Ecuador. While the student initially hesitated

to engage with staff, Alcauter said working with him in Spanish

has made him feel more comfortable.

“I was able to connect with him because of the language. Being

able to speak with him is something special to me. It makes me

smile,” she said.

Alcauter said families sometimes miss out on information

because of the language barrier, and she is proud of the work the

family ambassadors do to bring those resources to them.

“Being a family ambassador has given me a purpose,” she said.

“This role has given me the satisfaction of knowing that I can help

people by just passing on information in the language I know. I

really do love it.”

STATE REPRESENTATIVE

The

work

begins…

By the time you see this, it will be fewer than

30 days before I am sworn in to the Ohio

House of Representatives, serving the new

10th District. As you probably know, Ohio has

a bicameral legislature, which includes a 33-

member Senate whose members serve fouryear

terms and a 99-member House of

Representatives whose members serve twoyear

terms. House districts currently comprise

about 120,000 people. Senate districts include

three House districts, encompassing a

population of approximately 360,000 people.

Our House District consists roughly of west

and southwest Columbus, south of Sullivant

Avenue and east of I-270; portions of the

south side of Columbus; Grove City and Urbancrest;

and most of Franklin Township and

part of Jackson Township.

I am trying to prepare myself to hit the ground

running. Although there is a lot to learn, I

have attended an initial three-day new-member

orientation and am meeting with House

leadership, community leaders, former legislators,

and constituents in the coming weeks

to get as familiar as possible with the different

corners of our district and priorities of various

communities. I will or already have met with

the mayors of Columbus, Grove City, and Urbancrest;

the superintendents of the Columbus

and South-Western City Schools; Franklin

and Jackson Township trustees; The Ohio

State University President Kristina Johnson;

City Council members and Board of Education

members; and community leaders from the

Greater Hilltop Area Commission and the Far

South Columbus Area Commission, among

others. I’ll also meet with former House members

who can provide helpful insights into

how I can be the most effective.

Spreading smiles and merriment


The city of London’s main thoroughfare was transformed into a magical winter wonderland – albeit with rain and wind instead

of snow – when the 1811 Downtown District hosted its annual Old Fashioned Christmas on Nov. 27. Among the number of entertainers

who were in charge of eliciting smiles and merriment from the visitors was the Lee, Ryan and Sintz families from the

city’s westside. Adorned in Victorian-era clothing (and pictured from left to right in this photo), Christina Sintz, Lydia Lee, Stacy

Lee, Tim Lee, Susie Ryan, Mike Ryan, Max Lee, Braden Lee, and Josh Lee, welcomed guests throughout the four hour event

and posed for many photos in their period costumes. Tim Lee, who is the senior pastor at the Hillcrest Baptist Church, said

they volunteered as a favor to their friend who was the event organizer.

I will concentrate on quality-of-life issues:

economic growth, workforce development,

and excellent academic education for our children.

House members typically serve on

three of the 23 standing committees. To this

end, I have identified three House committees

that I feel will enable me to contribute the

most: Finance, Technology & Innovation, and

Primary & Secondary Education. Alternatively,

there are three additional committees with

which I feel I can be helpful: Economic &

Workforce Development, Higher Education &

Career Readiness, and Ways & Means. As I

meet with the new House leadership, I will

communicate my interests, priorities, experiences,

and skill sets so that I can be matched

with the committees where I can be the most

effective for the House and for our District.

I wish you and those you love the best for

Christmas and the coming Holidays!

In Entertainment

Santa and a sledgehammer

‘Tis the season when people all across the world

gather in front of their television sets, computer monitors,

and smartphone screens to usher in a bit of

Christmas cheer through a variety of entertainment

offerings that aim to elicit the soothing sensation of the

warm fuzzies for their audience. Although there is a

certain segment of the population who likes to watch

this type of programming throughout the year, most

only care to view the festive fare within a three-week

window as it provides a nice distraction from the

mountain of debt you are incurring from buying gifts

for those who do not deserve them or for those who can

frankly afford to purchase the items for themselves.

For those in the latter category who find a certain

kind of solace in the holiday flick, there is a new

Christmas movie that was released into the theaters

this past weekend called “Violent Night” that offers

both a heart-warming nod to the spirit of the season

and a good spot of bloody viciousness thanks to a

sledgehammer-wielding Santa who is spoiling to

smash in the faces of those who made it onto his very

naughty list.

In this acerbic home-invasion comedy thriller from

director Tommy Wirkola, “Stranger Things” star David

Harbour plays the barbaric Kris Kringle who has just

about had it with this whole delivering-present-to-children

gig. When the film opens, he is nearly slumped

over the counter of a pub in England on Christmas

Eve, bemoaning the fact that the alcoholic beverages

being served are still rendering him “upright.” During

a slurred conversation with a small Santa Claus, he

lets loose on having to serve at the whim of children

who just “want, crave, and consume.”

In this amusing scene between the holiday icons of

good cheer, the real Santa admits his duties are a

curse — a backstory scene posits that it just might be

one as a form of punishment for his past deeds — and

laments that all he wants to do is to be done with the

whole thing. Alas, he must fulfill his duties and he

goes about it begrudgingly, haphazardly tossing presents

to the ground, viciously biting the heads off of

cookies left out for him and raiding the booze cabinets

of the wealthier homes.

When he visits the Lightstone resident, where powerful

matriarch Gertrude (Beverly D’Angelo) hosts her

daughter Alva (Edi Patterson), son Jason (Alex

Hassell), and their immediate family members, he is in

for a violent surprise. Although the compound is heavily

fortified, a team of mercenaries led by “Mr. Scrooge”

(John Leguizamo) have broken into the estate seeking

Santa’s Mailbox

The Prairie Township Community Center is helping

local kids hand deliver their letters to Santa. A mailbox

will be at the entrance of the community center,

5955 West Broad St., from Nov. 25 through Dec. 15. To

guarantee delivery, include the child’s full name, complete

address, and postage. For more information or to

register, visit prairietownship.org.

Hall of Fame nominations sought

Mayor Andrew Ginther is asking residents to nominate

new candidates for the Columbus Hall of Fame.

For years, the Columbus Hall of Fame has honored

outstanding individuals who, through exemplary

accomplishments, have gained national recognition for

around the westside

The Reel Deal

Dedra Cordle

the $300 million that are

believed to be in a vault downstairs.

Because Santa Claus sees

the sniping Lightstone family

as greedy (they very much are,

hilariously so and most proud of

the fact) he thinks nothing of

leaving them to the whims of the violent team that all

sport cheeky holiday codenames. But when he gets a

whispered plea for help from Jason’s very good daughter

Trudy (Leah Brady), he does the two things he

swore he would never do again: get involved in real-life

situations and pick up his beloved sledgehammer and

smash his enemies to smithereens.

Despite the over-the-top violence that is found within

this film — and no, that is not an understatement as

Santa gets down and bloody with tree-toppers, string

lights, and candy canes, along with his trusty hammer

— it actually has a beating heart to it, especially with

the budding friendship between Santa and Trudy, one

of the last individuals on Earth who genuinely believe

in him and his innate goodness. Although they do not

spend too much time together on screen — Santa is

busy roughing up the bad guys while Trudy has her

own subplot where she does her best Kevin

McCallister impression — their bonding sessions come

via walkie-talkie where they open up about their lives

and their vulnerabilities. It’s such a sweet thing to witness,

even with all the bloodshed that is happening

throughout the movie, and sometimes during their oldschool

chat sessions.

Due to its premise and the violent action that takes

place within, “Violent Night” will not be looked upon

fondly by those who enjoy the more traditional holiday

flick but for those who would like to see something a

bit different this holiday season might want to take a

peek at this one. It has a certain kind of magic to it,

magic largely produced by Harbour who is having a

good time playing this version of the bearded icon, and

it manages to serve up all the hallmarks of a classic

holiday movie people love so much at this time of the

year — just with a bit more blood and gore. Grade: B
