Methodist Church on Dec. 17. Burgess
founded Corday’s Golden Heart as an
effort to help stop crime in the community
in honor of her son who died due to
violence five years ago during the
Christmas season. This particular event
is a part of Corday’s Golden Christmas,
which includes five days of giving away
food, toys, clothes, and love to children
on the westside. “In order for me to overcome
that trauma, I chose to think outside
of myself and try to pour my love
back out into the community,” said
Burgess.
As children file into Corday’s Golden
Christmas toy drive, they are presented
with many options for the items they
would like to take home. Here, (bottom

Hilltop Early
Learning Center
is ready to open
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
A one-of-a-kind childhood education
center is preparing to open its doors to
future young learners living on the westside.
On Dec. 12, city officials, county commissioners,
local business leaders, and
community advocates gathered to celebrate
the completion of construction at the
Hilltop Early Learning Center with a special
ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Located at 45 Clarendon Ave., the $22-
million pre-kindergarten learning facility
that was partially funded by a voterapproved
bond issue features a dozen
classrooms and a variety of wraparound
services that will benefit not just the children
enrolled at the center, but their families
and the greater community as well.
“This 50,000-square-foot structure is a
powerful realization of a shared community
vision that all children deserve access to
opportunity, education, and support,” said
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther during
the ceremony.
Free to those living 300 percent below
the poverty level, which equates to an
income of $54,930 for a household of two
(e.g. one caregiver, one child) or an income
of $83,250 for a household of four (e.g. one
caregiver, three children or two caregivers,
two children), the center will be open five
days a week, year-round to host more than
200 young learners looking to get an early
start on their path to life-long success.
Among those who have already enrolled
their young learner at the center is Jonie
Johnson, a childhood education advocate
who works at a nearby school.
“He keeps asking me when he’ll be able
to get to go,” she said. “I am so excited
because he is so excited about this opportu-

On Dec. 12, county commissioners, city officials, and community advocates on the westside celebrated the
completion of construction at the Hilltop Early Learning Center with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. Once
the center is licensed by the state department of job and family services, it will be able to serve more than
200 children living on the westside. The Hilltop Early Learning Center is slated to officially open its doors later
this winter. Pictured here preparing to cut into the ribbon to celebrate the occasion alongside children at the
Lindbergh Early Childhood Education Center are (left to right) Dr. Gina Ginn, CEO of the Columbus Early
Learning Centers, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther, Franklin County Commissioner Erica Crawley, and Jonie
Johnson, caregiver to a future learner at the center.

nity. It’s not always that you get to have a child or care
for a child who is so ready to go learn and at such a
young age.”
As the caretaker to her two young grandchildren,
Johnson and the two boys got a sneak-peek at the facility
when they attended a city-sponsored Family Fun
Day in late October. While there, she asked the then 4-
year-old Isaac Price Jr. his thoughts on the center and
she received two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
“I think it was love at first sight when he caught a
glimpse of that magnificent indoor play area,” she said,
referring to the expansive nature-based play structure
that features slides, swings, sensory panels and a
climbing wall.
Johnson said she too fell in love with the place when
she toured the facility and spoke to the staff who will
be working there when it opens this winter.
“Isaac has asthma and knowing that he is going to
be attending a child care facility that has a healthcare
clinic inside of it with nurses who know how to handle
his medication and work with him when he has attacks
just put me completely at ease,” she said. “It means a
lot to have this kind of facility here because it means I
don’t really have to worry as much about him getting
the care and attention that he needs.”
One of the most unique features at the Hilltop Early
Learning Center is the 3,000-square-foot healthcare
clinic that will be operated by staff with Nationwide
Children’s Hospital. Not only will they be able to treat
upset stomachs and the occasional bloody knee, but
they will also be able to provide mental health services,
physical support services, screening services and
wellness checks. Most services will also be available to
families who do not have children enrolled at the center.
“When we started this project, we didn’t just want it
to be a site for early childhood education although that
is at the heart of our mission,” said Dr. Gina Ginn,
CEO of the Columbus Early Learning Centers. “We
also wanted to be able to provide families with the
tools that are needed to be successful.”
For instance, Ginn said the center will have a fully
stocked food pantry for the families and the greater
community to access. Most of the goods will be donated
by Our Lady of Guadalupe Center, who will also distribute
a bag of food monthly to families whose children
are enrolled at the Hilltop Early Learning
Center.
“We not only want to surround our children with
the tools to be successful in school and beyond, but we
also want that success to be extended to our families
and the community we serve.”
Hilltop Early Learning Center officials say they
hope the facility will be able to open its doors to the
area’s future young learners this winter, preferably
sometime in January.
“We are still waiting to obtain our license from the
Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, but once
we do, we will be up and running and ready to serve
240 young learners on the westside,” said Ginn.
Like so many others, Hilltop Partnership Director
Paula Neal said she is counting down the days until
they can welcome in their first pre-kindergarten class.
“I have spent so much time in this building throughout
the construction process and the end result is
absolutely beautiful but it needs to be awakened,” she
said. “Having the children here is going to do that, as
will all of the families that this center will serve.”

Learning Center, including how to enroll your child at

Financial outlook remains
stable in South-Western
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
The South-Western City School
District’s annual financial review was presented
at the December board of education
meeting.
Although the district saw a decline in its
general fund revenues and an increase in
its general fund expenditures, officials say
the financial outlook of the district continues
to be strong.
According to Treasurer Hugh Garside,
fiscal year 2021-22 saw the overall revenue
decrease by almost 2 percent. He said the
panic button need not be hit by that news.
“Now, before you get shocked by our revenues
decreasing, overall in the state of
Ohio there was a pretty significant change
that happened in the state’s biennial budget,”
he said.
Garside explained that the state will no
longer provide funds for districts to account
for students who are categorized as community
school students or scholarship students.
Instead, he said the state will cover
the cost rather than provide funds for the
districts as they have done in previous fiscal
years.
He added that the district received
roughly $15 million through the state for
its community school and scholarship students.
Garside said that while the state’s decision
to fund the programs could have been
a big financial hit, the move will ultimately
be considered a wash as the district will no
longer have to include those programs in
their expenditures.
Some of the positive items of note in the
district’s overall revenues, said Garside, is
that they have received a number of
Medicaid reconciliation payments to the
tune of $1 million each, they have received
a number of payment in lieu of taxes from
Hall of Fame nominations
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 themselves and
have brought credit to this city.
Those nominating individuals for the
Columbus Hall of Fame are asked to provide
as much biographical information
about the nominee as possible, including
biographies, resumes, articles and letters.
Please complete a separate nomination
form for each individual if nominating
more than one person.
Nominations for the 2022 induction will
news and notes
settlements with commercial properties,
and they have a healthy residential and
commercial tax base.
“Fifty-five percent of our property tax
revenues come from our residential and
agricultural tax base, but this district also
has a pretty strong commercial industrial
tax base as well,” he said, noting that 45
percent of the district’s revenue funds is
attributed to commercial and industrial
properties.
According to Garside, the district’s total
general fund revenue for fiscal year 2021-
22 was $288 million, down $5 million from
the previous fiscal year.
On the expenditure side, the district
saw a slight increase of roughly 1.5 percent;
the total general fund expenditures
for the 2021-22 fiscal year was $277.37 million.
Garside said some of the rise in expenditures
can be attributed to an increase of
salaries and benefits for the district’s certificated
and classified employees, the
“final push” of the Ohio Facilities
Construction Commission middle school
build project, and an overall rise in the cost
of materials and supplies.
He said he anticipates that the Capital
Projects Fund will go down in the next fiscal
year as the district has completed the
middle school build project. The 2021-22
fiscal year saw the district spend $86.54
million to cover the cost of its permanent
improvement projects.
Despite the slight decrease in the revenue
and the slight increase in expenditures,
Garside said the district’s finances
are stable and he sees no need for the board
to request an operating levy at this time.
He added that the district has maintained,
and will continue to maintain, a positive
cash balance of roughly 5 to 10 months
throughout the next five-years, if not
beyond that duration of time.

Wreaths to honor the fallen
Residents of the southwest and westside communities gathered at Concord
Cemetery in Grove City on Dec. 17 to participate in Wreaths Across America, a
nationwide commemorative event whose mission is to remember the country’s fallen
veterans, honor those who currently serve, and teach the next generation the
value of freedom. Among those who laid wreaths at the final resting place of local
members of the armed forces was Trenton McCall, a freshman at Central Crossing
High School. McCall is a cadet with the school’s NJROTC program which has sponsored
the ceremony at the cemetery for the past two years. He is pictured here placing
a wreath at the gravesite of Oliver Jones, a member of the Army who served in
World War II.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE
Ohio
House
Committees
The committee structure of the Ohio House of
Representatives is where the bulk of the legislative
work gets completed. When a bill is introduced,
it is referred to the committee that deals
with its particular subject matter. It is discussed
publicly by House members. Interested parties
will testify about the pros and cons of the proposal
so that House members understand better
its effects and ramifications. Often times, it will be
modified to accommodate the concerns brought
forward in the hearings. If it is voted out of committee,
it then can be considered by the entire
House chamber. Should it get approved by the
House, it is then referred to the Ohio Senate,
where it undergoes a similar process. Only once
a bill gains the approval of both legislative chambers
can it get considered by the Governor for his
approval.
There will be 24 committees in the House in the
135th General Assembly. The committees are as
follows:
Agriculture & Conservation
Armed Services & Veterans Affairs
Behavioral Health & Recovery Supports
Civil justice
Criminal Justice
Economic & Workforce Development
Elections & Apportionment
Energy & Natural Resources
Families, Aging, & Human Services
Finance
Financial Institutions
Government Oversight
Health
Higher Education & Career Readiness
Infrastructure & Rural Development
Insurance
Labor, Commerce, & Pensions
Primary & Secondary Education
Public Safety, Corrections, & State Security
Public Utilities
State & Local Government
Technology & Innovation
Transportation
Ways & Means
House members will get assigned to committees
at the beginning of the General Assembly in early
January. Members are designating their preferences
to the new House leadership. I have identified
three House committees that I feel will enable
me to contribute the most for our district: 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. The Speaker determines, based on
his assessment of a member’s expertise, experience,
and priorities and the needs of the entire
chamber, who will serve on each committee.
(Dave Dobos represents the new Ohio House of
Representatives 10th District, which consists of
most of the west and southwest sides of Columbus,

It has been more than a decade since
director James Cameron released his science
fiction epic “Avatar” and the question
that has most often arisen throughout this
duration of time is whether it has any relevance
within the public sphere. Despite
fact-based evidence that it became the
highest-grossing box office hit of all time,
revolutionized the way computer graphic
imagery was used within the entertainment
industry, and somehow made people
believe that 3D television was the way of
the future, film critics and pop culture commentators
alike came to the consensus that
“Avatar” was but a blip on the radar of the
zeitgeist, having little to no cultural impact
on the hearts and minds of the masses.
As this entertaining, albeit rather pointless,
debate was taking place, Cameron
was steadily toiling away, stating his
intention to make not just one sequel to
“Avatar” but four additional movies within
this universe as well. The caveat, however,
was that none of them would be filmed
until he believed that visual effect technology
had caught up to the vision he had in
his head for the world of his creation.
When the announcement came nearly
five years ago that he would officially
return to Pandora, film critics and pop culture
commentators across the country
began to once again question whether anyone
would even care to revisit the lush
world that featured nine-foot tall blue catlike
natives clashing with humans as they
tried to strip mine their planet for
resources. Most believed that no one would
care to revisit that place, that it was a
waste of money, and that the public had
moved far away from this world and turned
to things such as the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, the streaming revolution, and all
other kinds of entertainment gamechanges.
What they seemed to have forgotten,
along with all that fact-based evidence presented
in the first paragraph, was that
“Avatar” created a quiet yet hardcore fanbase
that had people trying to learn the fictionalized
language of the native Pandoran
tribe, making hundreds of trips down to
Disney World to experience the related
attraction, and plunking down even more
money in this economy to see the original
film when it came back to theaters earlier
this fall. (Note: it even beat new theatrical
releases.) But perhaps the most egregious
oversight from those wondering whether
people would pay to see this sequel, or any
sequel thereafter, was that it was helmed
by Cameron. Say what you want about
him, but there is no questioning the sheer
spectacle of his movies. And if there is anything
the public wants to see, it is a visual
spectacle to the likes of which they have
not seen before on the silver screen.
Ultimately, this is what “Avatar: The
Way of Water” offers to the public: A
chance to be immersed in a lush new world
that is full of wonder, danger, and unimaginable
beauty. Describing this film can
sometimes come across like you are blowing
smoke up the tush, but in its 3D state
it is one of the most visually dazzling
movies to ever come on the big screen. The
picture is crisper, the technology more
advanced, and the motion-capture aspect
has improved by leaps and bounds from the
original film.
With all of that said, however, this film
also displays some of Cameron’s worse
traits, such as his flair for reminding people
that he is responsible for some of the
greatest movies of all time, his propensity
to use the same words repeatedly, and his
lack of detail to the story that is currently
being told. He seems to forget that the
audience wants answers to the questions
that was raised in the first film, that they
want answers to some of the questions that
are bubbling forth in the second, and that
they do not necessarily want to wait for all
the answers to be given to them in the slow
roll out of this franchise. My theory is that
either he does not care about answering
them as some threads left in the first film
were cut completely out of the second or he
feels secure in the relevancy of his world,
positive that the masses will come out to
see his vision regardless of his fast and
loose approach with the storylines. Sadly,
he is not mistaken as I know I am a part of
that segment that will come out and see it
because I do love this world that this maddening
man has created.
The sequel is set nearly two decades
after the events of the first film where we
find former Marine Jake Sully (Sam
Worthington), now fully transported into
his Na’vi avatar, living his best life with
his fierce warrior wife Neytiri (Zoe
Saldana) by his side. Over the years, the
pair has welcomed three biological children
— eldest son Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), second-oldest
son Lo’ak (Britain Dalton), and
youngest daughter Tuk (Trinity Jo-Li
Bliss) — and have helped raised two other
children, the Na’vi-human hybrid Kiri
(Sigourney Weaver) and the humanhuman
Miles (Jack Champion) who was
left behind when Jake and the Na’vi banded
together to boot the humans back to
whatever remained of the world they had
mined to near death.
Content with their growing family —
although the attitudes now coursing
through their teenagers are causing some
strife — their happiness abruptly ends
when the humans (aka Sky People) come
back with a vengeance with several ninefoot
tall Na’vi clones who were implanted
with the memories of the military men and
women who were killed near the end of the
first feature in tow.
Uninspiring twist aside, these scenes
are particularly affecting as it showcases
the harm humans can do to other worlds in
the name of advancement. It also serves to
propel the story to another part of Pandora
as Jake and the Sully clan flee from the

clones now hell-bent
on their destruction.
And what a new
world the place they
land is.
After finding
refuge with the
Matkayina, a water
tribe, the Sully family set out to explore
their new home nestled on the shores of the
ocean, meeting all sorts of fantastic beasts
along the way. Cameron spends much of
the 192-minute run time playing within
these surroundings, letting the audience
get to know the new generation of the Sully
children as they bond with majestic ocean
animals and members of the new clan.
Although it can seem indulgent at times,
as if we are playing in his own personal
bathtub full of his toys, the underwater
scenes are quite breathtaking to experience.
Less thrilling, however, is the written
story within this film, which is really just a
retread of the previous film minus the mineral
that could have saved Earth. While
the sequel certainly has more depth than
its predecessor as the stakes are higher
with children at play now, some of the justifications
for the military Na’vi clones setting
off around the Pandoran world just to
fight Jake and his family is nonsensical at
times. But that is the risk one takes when
it comes to movies that are directed and
written by Cameron — more attention is
paid to the visual details rather than the
spoken word and its story. Individually,
they can be a powerful way to move a story,
to move an audience, but if they are created
together in harmony within a film it can
be even more affecting to the mind and
heart of the masses. That unfortunately is
not the case with “Avatar: The Way of
Water,” raising questions once again about
its cultural relevance but it will still leave
quite an impression with its ability to captivate
the senses through its visual storytelling
prowess.

New system will warn consumers
According to Franklin County Auditor Michael
Stinziano, a new notification to warn consumers will
be applied to the scanners of stores that fail multiple
Weights and Measures inspections.
Consumers buying products at a scanner with the
notice, which reads “Warning Nonsealed Scanner
System,” are urged to check their receipts to make sure
the price they paid was accurate. The notification
includes a QR code to get more information about
weights and measures inspections.
The new protective measures were created after
seven area Dollar General stores failed a second
weights and measures inspection last month because
their scanners were charging incorrect, higher prices.
Follow-up inspections at those stores are being conducted,
and stores that continue to fail inspection will
have the notice applied to their scanners.
“Consumers who buy products from stores with the
nonsealed scanner notice are urged to check prices and
make sure you pay the price listed on the store
shelves,” Stinziano said. “Weights and Measures
Inspectors will be following up with these stores and
continue to be out in the community protecting consumers.”
The Ohio Attorney General’s office has filed a consumer-protection
lawsuit against Dollar General
because of multiple inspection failures in several Ohio
counties.
Anyone who suspects they have been a victim of
fraud can call the auditor’s office fraud hotline at (614)
525-7226.

Pets of the week
Arctic is a 4-monthold
kitty who is looking
to start the year
off with a forever
home, however he
wants to stay with his
bonded sibling,
Glacier. Arctic is very
sweet and cuddly. He
is neutered, vaccinated,
and up for adoption through Colony Cats.
FYI: colonycats.org
Glacier is a sweet
kitty, who needs to be
with his sibling Arctic.
The bonded pair of
long-haired kitties
needs a home
together for the holidays.
Glacier likes to
cuddle but may need
a little time to adjust
to a new home. The
pair will bring someone
a lot of love and happiness. You can meet
them at the Colony Cats cage-free adoption
center.
FYI: colonycats.org
www.columbusmessenger.com
These furry friends are available
for adoption at local
rescues and shelters
Betsy is a 4-monthold
puppy who is a
sweet and loyal girl
that just wants to be
with her person. She
does great with other
dogs and is respectful
of cats. Betsy is
current on vaccines.
She is doing great on
house training but not quite at 100 percent.
She is spayed, microchipped and ready to
find her forever home. Adopt Betsy from
Colony Cats and Dogs.
FYI: colonycats.org
Georgio is a 10-yearold
pit bull mix who is
a little bit shy. He has
been quiet and
reserved at the shelter
and may need
time to adjust to a
new home, or he may
relax and become
more social. Georgio
needs a person who
is willing to let him come out of his shell at his
own time. He has been at the shelter for a
while and is eager to find a home.
