Years later, woman earns CW diploma

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

Dec. 19 was special for Canal Winchester resident

Deidra Hudson when she became a graduate of Canal

Winchester Local Schools after interrupting her education

at the end of her junior year in the 1980s.

“Ms. Hudson earned her diploma this year through

the 22+ adult high school program,” said Canal

Winchester Schools Superintendent Kiya Hunt during

the Dec. 19 Canal Winchester Board of Education

meeting. “The program is free to adults over age 22

and living in Ohio. As a young mom living in Cleveland

in 1980, Ms. Hudson left school after completing 11th

grade so she could work and raise her family. She had

a fulfilling career in health care as an STNA.”

Hudson raised three daughters who all earned their

high school diplomas. Hunt said the new graduate

made a bucket list and put earning her high school

diploma at the top of the list.

“She took courses online and tonight we are thrilled

to present her diploma and congratulate her on this

accomplishment,” said Hunt.

Hudson said she was proud of herself and said earning

her diploma was challenging because it’s been a

long time since she was in school.

“I was boxing and I came out on top,” said Hudson.

“I thank you all for having me. God bless you all and

live for today. I’m going to take it one day at a time

because I’ve been through a lot of things. I’m going to

keep moving forward.”

Ohio’s 22+High School Diploma Program is an

opportunity for Ohio residents age 22 or older with no

high school diploma or GED to earn a diploma at no

cost. Graduates receive a fully accredited high school

diploma from their local school district.

All classes are online. The Graduation Alliance

highly recommends prospective students have completed

at least some of their 10th grade year to enroll.

There are other options for adults who have not finished

ninth grade.

Your Schools, Your Voice survey

Canal Winchester Schools officials are asking community

members to add their voices to a survey to set

goals and create plans guiding education into the

future.

The Your Schools, Your Voice survey gathers input

from families, residents, community members, staff,

and students.

The anonymous survey takes about 10 minutes to

complete and is available online in English, Spanish,

French, and Nepali. The survey opened on Dec. 6 and

closes on Jan. 10.

Every student has the chance to take the anonymous

survey during school hours. Students spend a lot

of their time at school and have valuable insights the

district hopes they can provide on their experiences.

According to information provided by the district,

the survey data will be used to set goals and create

plans to meet those goals.

By collecting input from various perspectives and

experiences from community members, the information

provided in the survey will help ensure goals

reflect the values of the community.

The survey is anonymous and responses will not be

used to identify anyone. After the survey closes, the

data will be compiled to be used in the goal-setting

process and shared online for community members to

review.

For information about the survey, email communications@cwls.us

Resignations

The school board accepted the resignation of

Principal Eric Riddle and the resignation of high

school teacher Todd Phillips for retirement, both effective

after the end of the current school year.

“Todd Phillips has been in the district for over 30

years,” said Hunt. “He has been a staple in the district.

He is very involved in music and has brought a lot of

different activities to our district that separate us a little

from the others.”

Continued from page 1

Except for a $500 request from David Lutheran

Church for food and supplies for a Thanksgiving meal

and an application from the local Chamber of

Commerce received after the Nov. 30 deadline, all 13

requests for $2,000 were granted.

“Councilman Patrick Shea and I reviewed the applications

and didn’t see anything wrong,” said

Councilman Steve Buskirk.

The list includes the Boy Scout troop’s request to

expand, replace, and repair camping gear and equipment;

a City Kitty Round Up event to trap-neuterreturn-adopt

program; supplies and advertising for the

2023 Veterans Day Celebration and basic needs kits

for 48 older adults at David’s Way.

A Bed Tax Grant Committee previously reviewed

applications and made their recommendations as to

how the grants should be distributed.

CWAHS funding support

Council held a second reading on legislation providing

up to $20,000 in financial support to the Canal

Winchester Area Historical Society, which preserves

artifacts, buildings, etc. and provides education covering

Canal Winchester historic and cultural resources.

Society operations include the O.P. Chaney

Elevator —which is undergoing renovation–Queen of

the Line Depot, Prentiss Schoolhouse and the National

Barber Museum housed in the school district’s education

center.

CWAHS President Bruna Brundige said the organization

is not asking for anything new because of a

$10,000 agreement already in place that expires at the

end of the year.

However, the historical society is asking council to

consider doubling the amount due to increasing insurance

and utility costs for all buildings.

“In 2023 we’ll start paying for the utilities for two

floors in the school we’ll use for the museums,”

Brundige said. “We’ll pay $300 per month per floor.

The total will be for over $24,000 and we’re asking for

$20,000 with the reapproval of the agreement. We did

a very quick count of how many visitors we had to the

historical complex and it’s at least 10,000 a year.”

The society is in the process of creating a Canal

Winchester Museum in the same wing and on the floor

above the barber museum, which will house a growing

collection of artifacts and provide community space for

meetings and programming.

“Right now, we are enjoying a $300,000 grant from

the state of Ohio that is for the renovation of the O.P

Chaney grain elevator,” said Brundige when asked

about other funding sources. “Additionally, we have a

$300,000 donation from the Wood Foundation, which

was given to us last week.”

Brundige estimated the total cost for renovating the

historic structure between $4 and $5 million.


Obetz’s 2023 city budget approved

By Katelyn Sattler

Staff Writer

Obetz City Council approved the city’s

2023 budget at its Dec. 19 meeting.

Obetz’s general fund for 2023 is around

$15.8 million and can be spent on any legal

city expenses, while the rest of the budget

— which has a series of funds meant for specific

purposes only — adds up to more than

$26 million.

“Each year, we take an educated guess

of how much revenue we’ll have and we

always guess conservatively,” said Obetz

City Administrator Rod Davisson.

In 2020, the city had $13 million in revenue

and $11 million in spending, in 2021

the city had $16 million in revenue and $13

million in spending.

“This year, we estimated $16 million in

revenue and $15 million in spending, but it

looks like it’s going to be a bit higher and

we’ll end the year at $16.7 million, probably

closer to $7 million, in revenue,” said

Davisson. “In order to get there, we’ve had

to make a Herculean effort. We had two

really bad quarters to start the year. We

had two really good quarters to finish the

year. As a consequence, we ended up with

the largest revenue year that we’ve ever

had, which is good. I don’t know what that

means for next year. I can’t tell you that.”

The $41.9 million appropriations budget

only covers the city’s expenses and does not

include revenue. For example, while the

city has appropriated $3.1 million for

water operations, $2.3 million for sewer

operations, $6.8 million for electricity operations,

$505,000 for refuse operations, and

$2.3 million for gas operations, they are all

offset by money coming into the city.

“Remember, the water fund pays for the

water, to fix the water, all those kinds of

things,” said Davisson. “The electric appropriations

also includes the cost of buying

the electric and then reselling it. This doesn’t

have anything to do with profit, for lack

of a better description, or net income. It’s

just how much it costs.”

The city budgeted $3.2 million in economic

development, the majority of which

is $2.8 million in payments to the Prairie-

Obetz Joint Economic Development Zone.

Because, per Ohio law, townships cannot

collect income taxes, an agreement was

passed by Prairie Township voters in

November 2011 and approved by Obetz

Council in July 2011 where Obetz collects

income taxes from employees working in

the West Broad Street corridor and pays 80

percent of it back to Prairie Township,

while retaining 20 percent of the money.

Davisson said, “It can be confusing

because you say, ‘Why are we spending $3

million on economic development?’ The

answer is, we’re not. That JEDZ we’re in

sends us a bunch of money and then we

have to send them back their cut. We have

to account for this income to us, even

though we end up giving it right back to

them. The JEDZ nets the city a million

bucks. The amount you’re authorizing us to

spend this year is $41 million, which is up

$1 million from last year’s $40 million that

we spent. We expect the revenue to obviously

outpace that. We had a surprisingly

good year for the way we started. It’s tough

to predict what next year will look like.

There’s still a threat for a recession. We

have enough cushion and we’ve done this

long enough to not be afraid of that. And

we run hyper efficiently here. Whatever

happens, we’ll figure our way through it.

We’re well positioned to withstand whatever

comes.”

Tentative agreement with FOP

Council ratified and approved the memorandum

of understanding between the

city and the Fraternal Order of Police,

Capital City Lodge No. 9, authorizing back

pay and longevity pay payments for 2022.

According to Davisson, “We have

reached an agreement in principle with the

police union. We offered to back pay them

for this year. Obviously, we didn’t plan for

that earlier in the year, so we have to do

some appropriations to back pay the

police.”

This means $204,675 will go to the

police for back pay. The officers received

their back pay in their accounts within

days after council ratified and approved

the MOU.

In the same legislation, some overtime

from Christmas kickoff in the amount of

$1,118 will go to the Street Fund, $2,352

will go to the Water Fund, $1,278 will go to

the Sewer Fund, $2,509 will go to the Gas

Fund, all for overtime pay, and $12,000

will go to the Refuse Fund to cover Waste

Management Inc.’s contract to pick up the

trash.

Bonus for part-time employees

Council approved for the city’s part-time

employees to receive a one-time bonus this

year.

“This is what it sounds like. It’s a bonus

for all employees that we do at the end of

the year,” Davisson said. “The full-time

bonuses come from the handbook. So what

we’ve done is changed our year end bonus

to a longevity bonus. And the longevity

bonus is included for full-timers in the

handbook. But for part-timers, we’re still

debating the best way to work that out. So

we just went with the traditional year end

bonus for part-timers.”

Correction

In the Dec. 11 edition of the

South/Canal Winchester Messenger, the

photo caption for the photo, “CW’s

Christmas in the Village,” incorrectly designated

Jill Amos as the event organizer.

The event was a city event that was organized

by several and various city officials.

The Messenger regrets the error.

As a kid I had a fondness for vintage metal

toys and today I maintain an appreciation for

these toys’ combination of art, functionality,

and fun.

Editor’s Notebook

Rick

Palsgrove

I still own nine die

cast metal cars made

by Tootsie Toy, a

Chicago company that

created die cast toy

cars and other toy

vehicles up until the

late 20th century. I

also have a couple of

Midgetoy die cast toy

cars.

I proudly display all

of them on the shelf of

one of my bookcases.

As a youth in the

1960s I occasionally took some nickels and

dimes to Ackerman’s drug store on

Groveport’s Main Street and picked out some

small Tootsie Toy die cast cars. I played with

these cars frequently both indoors and outdoors.

My boyhood home had a stone front

walkway where the mortar separating the

flat stones created the look of a streetscape

with the mortar being the roads and the

stones being imaginary buildings. I’d play

The joy of vintage toys

with the cars there or out in the yard in the

dirt or on the interior floors of our house.

These die cast metal cars seemed indestructible.

The metal gave them heft and

their rubber tires allowed them to roll

smoothly. They were also beautiful with

brightly colored paint and tremendous detail

on the grill work and car’s body. Today much

of the paint is worn off of them because I

played with them so much.

I had not seen any other of these style of

toy cars in recent years. Old toys, like many

things, fade away.

Then I went on a recent trip to the

restored Ohio and Erie Canal town known as

Roscoe Village near Coshocton. There I came

upon a wondrous collection of vintage metal

toys of all kinds tucked into the lower level of

one of the town’s historic buildings.

I was amazed at what I saw.

The Toy Cellar, operated by Richard

Hoover, has vintage metal toys he has collected

dating from the 19th century to the mid-

20th century. All sorts and sizes of brightly

painted metal cars, trucks, airplanes, spinning

gizmos such as carousels and ferris

wheels, doll houses, toy kitchens, toy guns,

pedal cars, and more. Plus there are all sorts

of wooden toys.

A great thing about it is that most of the

toys there look a bit worn, which means that

they once provided hours of fun for some

happy kids back in the day.

Hoover happily demonstrated many of the

toys and answered the many questions I had

about toys that caught my eye. The engineering

of these toys is masterful and the fact

that the mechanisms on them still function

perfectly is a testament to those who made

them. Plus the detailed appearance of the

toys looks beautiful. They are works of joyous

functional art. These toys are simple, yet

intricate.

Standing in the middle of the museum

among all the whirring, clanking, and

buzzing of the metal toys gives one a bit of

sensory overload.

But then I was transported from the

reverie of it all when I spotted something.

There, on a nearby shelf were a collection of

mid-20th century Tootsie Toy die cast cars,

two of which were the same models that I

have in my collection.

Plus there were a couple of Tootsie Toy die

cast metal airplanes like I used to have and

wished I still had.

It made me happy to see those

TootsieToys there and know that other kids

had enjoyed these toys like I had in those

days of our youth.

about Roscoe Village and the Toy Cellar.

Help for winter heating

The AEP Ohio Neighbor to Neighbor

Program is accepting applications for utility

assistance grants for the 2022-23 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 first-come,

first-served basis. Eligible account holders

may apply through April 28, 2023, 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.”

To apply, customers may contact one of

the AEP Ohio Neighbor to Neighbor

Program’s network of more than 120 Ohio

community-based organizations, or apply

online using the link available at Neighbor

to Neighbor (aepohio.com). 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 $83,250 per year is income-eligible for

the program. Households must have an

outstanding balance on their bill of at least

$50 and behind on bill payment 30 days or

more. Full eligibility guidelines and application

instructions can be found at

AEPOhio.com/helpaneighbor.

“Dollar Energy Fund is proud to maintain

its support for AEP Ohio and its

efforts to serve families who find them-


selves in a temporary financial crisis,” said

Chad Quinn, chief executive officer of

Dollar Energy Fund.

The AEP Ohio Neighbor to Neighbor

Program is funded by public contributions

that are matched dollar-for-dollar by AEP

Ohio. Utility customers may make a contribution

through their monthly AEP Ohio

www.AEPOhio.com/N2N or by sending a

check directly to The AEP Ohio Neighbor to

Neighbor Program, Box 42329, Pittsburgh,

PA 15203.

Every donation to the Neighbor to

Neighbor Program is used to assist eligible

families residing in Ohio. Every dollar

donated to the Neighbor to Neighbor

Program will be matched by AEP Ohio.

These matching funds and 100 percent of

your donation will assist limited-income

families residing in Ohio to afford utility

service. With AEP Ohio’s match, your taxdeductible

donation will have twice the

impact.

Township looks for set electric rates

By Linda Dillman

Staff Writer

The Madison Township trustees

approved an agreement with Archer

Energy for electricity aggregation in hopes

it will help resident save on utility costs

later next year.

The agreement signed on Dec. 15

enables Archer to shop for a fixed 12-

month rate and present their findings to

the trustees no later than June 2023.

Purchasing electricity in the fall and

spring ensures savings versus utility company

default prices.

Treble LLC representative Scott

Belcastro said the township will have a

fixed rate determined by then.

“We are committing to Archer (now),

but we don’t have the actual fixed rate,”

said Madison Township Administrator

Susan Brobst. “This gives both sides the

intent.”

Other Madison Township news

•The trustees approved a fire department

purchase of a new 2025 aerial ladder

apparatus from the Sutphen Corporation.

The purchase price, minus a $38,940 prepayment

discount, is $1.18 million.

Fire Chief Derek Robinson said, by committing

to the purchase now, the township

can save between $300,000 to $400,000. He

said equipment like the 75-foot Quint style

ladder continues to escalate in cost and

build out time grows longer.

The purchase of the ladder truck is necessary,

according to Robinson, because

building heights–such as warehouses and

hotels/motels–are starting to exceed the

reach of current equipment, which forces

the township to rely on mutual aid

resources.

“and we will now have the capability. Our

mutual aid partners might be caught up in

Trustee John Pritchard said equipment

costs are escalating rapidly and supply

chain issues currently push the purchase

out three years.

“With this (ladder truck) we can take

care of our own,” said Pritchard.

•Trustee Chairwoman Michele

Reynolds is stepping down at the end of the

year to serve as a state senator for District

3 beginning Jan. 1. She said her expectations

for her replacement is to fill the position

with someone not only good for the

township now, but who also intends to run

in the fall to keep the position.

“We have to lay out a timeline,” said

Pritchard. “Thirty days will go by quickly.

I would like a robust process to determine

who the best candidate will be. We’re going

to have an interview process. Give them

situations we deal with and see how they

analyze the process. A background check is

crucial. Hopefully this person will serve

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

A festive time


Messenger photo by Dedra Cordle

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 event on Nov.

27. Despite the inclement weather throughout the festivities,

smiles and merriment were found in abundance as

people shopped, made holiday crafts, chased after Santa

Claus and his reindeer, and listened to carolers. Displaying

his delight after artist Amy Likens turned his face into a

replica of the jolly man from the North Pole is Obetz resident

Jason Ellis, 9.

Culture Pass expands access to the arts

Columbus Metropolitan Library has partnered with

BalletMet and the Columbus Symphony to make a

select number of passes available for library customers

to check out for free.

One BalletMet Culture Pass is available at each of

CML’s 23 locations beginning two weeks before each

performance during the 2022-23 season. Each pass is

valid for up to two people (children or adults). Ten

Columbus Symphony Culture Passes will be available

at each library location beginning two weeks before

each performance during the 2022-23 season. Each

pass is valid for one adult (children under 16 are free).

Passes are valid for Masterworks performances only.

CML offers its cardholders free admission to select

central Ohio cultural institutions. The Culture Pass

program enables library customers to borrow passes

just as they would a book using their library card. This

one-time pass, which must be checked out in person,

grants customers limited free access to institutions

that would otherwise charge admission fees.

Visit columbuslibrary.org/culture-pass.

CML piloted the program in 2018, offering culture

passes to Franklin Park Conservatory and the Wexner

Center for the Arts. Since then, CML has worked to

expand the number of participating organizations.

“With the help of our community partners, we’re

working to expose all central Ohioans to the many

renowned cultural gems we are fortunate to have at

our doorstep,” said CML Chief Community

Engagement Officer Donna Zuiderweg. “As a public

library, our role is to ensure equal access to all, and

that goes well beyond books.”

“I think our art deserves to be shared with as wide

an audience as possible,” said Columbus Symphony

clarinetist Mark Kleine. “The arts have the ability to

strengthen and speak to all corners of society, regardless

of the repertoire or the venue.”

Participating organizations include: BalletMet:

Passes available at all CML locations; Columbus

Clippers: Passes available at all locations; Columbus

Museum of Art: Passes available at all locations;

Columbus Symphony: Passes available at all locations;

Columbus Zoo and Aquarium: Passes available at

CML’s Main Library and Barnett, Driving Park,

Franklinton, Hilltop, Karl Road, Linden, Marion-

Franklin, Martin Luther King, Northern Lights,

Northside, Parsons, Shepard and Whitehall branches;

Franklin Park Conservatory: Passes available at

CML’s Driving Park, Martin Luther King and Shepard

branches; National Veterans Memorial and Museum:

Passes available at CML’s Main Library and Barnett,

Franklinton, Martin Luther King and Parsons branches;

Ohio History Center: Passes available at CML’s

Driving Park, Franklinton, Hilltop, Karl Road, Linden,

Martin Luther King, Northern Lights and Northside

branches; Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum

of Art: Passes available at all locations.

The Culture Pass program offers each participating

institution the opportunity to select which specific

CML locations. Culture Passes are only available for

in-person customer checkout at the specific CML locations

listed above. Culture passes cannot be reserved

like traditional library items. However, customers can

check their availability at columbuslibrary.org by typing

“Culture Pass” into the catalog search bar.

Each participating organization offers their passes

to CML and its customers for free. CML does not purchase

passes as it does with traditional library materials.

Each organization sets its own rules for how many

individuals are covered under its passes and on which

days the passes will be honored. Partner organizations

also set the number of passes

allotted to each designated CML

location.

CONCEALING UNSIGHTLY TEETH

If your front teeth are so unattractive

that you try to hide

them with a closed-lip smile or

with your hand covering your

mouth, you may be interested

in one of the new advances in

esthetic dentistry: laminate veneers.

Veneers are customized, laboratory-produced

coverings

that fit over the front and sides

of the tooth. They can be used

to correct a variety of smilespoiling

imperfections, including

stains, cracks, or chips. With

veneers, your teeth can be

made longer or wider, and

Dr. Kelly

many spacing problems can be

corrected. By concealing unsightly

teeth, these naturallooking

veneers mean that you

need not cover up your smile

ever again.

Veneers offer certain advantages

over other, more involved

or time consuming cosmetic

treatments. Veneering is a relatively

conservative approach,

requiring just a slight

reduction in the tooth’s surface.

The city of Canal Winchester installed a

pedestrian activated Rectangular Rapid

Flashing Beacon along Groveport Road

near Thrush Drive. This new signal further

marks the crosswalk and increases

driver awareness. RRFBs consist of two,

rectangular-shaped yellow indications,

each with a solar-powered LED light.

RRFBs flash with an alternating high

frequency when activated to enhance

conspicuity of pedestrians at the crossing

to drivers. According to the U.S.

Department of Transportation Federal

Highway Administration, RRFBs can

increase motorist yielding rates up to 98

percent and reduce pedestrian crashes

up to 47 percent. This intersection was

selected due to the 35 mph roadway

speed limit; the unimproved roadway

conditions (no curbs/gutters); the minimal

lighting along the roadway; the

commercial nature of the area; and

because it is a bike path. These beacons

are not intended to be installed at

every intersection/crosswalk, as overuse

of RRFBs can diminish their effectiveness.

Pedestrians crossing

Groveport Road in this area can activate

the RFFB by pressing the marked button

on the signal post. The signal can

be activated from either side of the

roadway. Wait for traffic to stop before

entering the crosswalk and be aware of

motorists adjusting to the new signal

pattern. When activated, motorist must

yield to pedestrians until they have fully

crossed the street. Motorists should

check both sides of the roadway to

ensure more pedestrians aren’t

approaching the crosswalk before proceeding.

For more information on the

beacon or other pedestrian safety

measures the city is implementing, contact

Matt Peoples, public service director,

at 614-834-7734.

penalty through March 31. After the deadline,

the cost to purchase a license doubles.

law, dog licensing ensures that any lost dog

South & Canal Winchester


Cameron’s lush and wonderful world

It has been more than a decade since director James

Cameron released his science fiction epic “Avatar” and

a question that has arisen throughout this 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 debate was taking place, Cameron was toiling

away to make not just one sequel to “Avatar” but

four additional movies within this universe as well.

The caveat was that none of them would be filmed

until he believed that visual effect technology had

caught up to the vision he had for his creation.

When the announcement came nearly five years ago

that he would return to Pandora, film critics and pop

culture commentators began to question whether anyone

would even care to revisit the lush world that featured

nine-foot tall blue cat-like natives clashing with

humans as they tried to strip mine their planet for

resources. Most believed no one would care to revisit

that place, that it was a waste of money, and that the

public had moved away from this world and turned to

the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the streaming revolution,

and other kinds of entertainment game-changers.

What they have forgotten 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 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. 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.

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

The Reel Deal

Dedra

Cordle

Bliss) — and have helped raised two other children, the

Na’vi-human hybrid Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) and the

human-human 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 nine-foot 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 hellbent

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.

Assessment of Community

Interest in Establishing a

Restoration Advisory Board

for Former Lockbourne

Air Force Base

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting environmental investigations

at the former Lockbourne Air Force Base (AFB) located in Columbus, Franklin and

Pickaway Counties, Ohio. Multiple environmental restoration projects have been

identified within the FUDS property that require further environmental investigation to

identify potential hazards, define extent of contamination, where found, and mitigate

potential risks.

The former Lockbourne AFB is a formerly used defense site (FUDS) in Columbus, Ohio.

The property was used as a training base for B-17 and glider crews from 1942 to 1949,

and later became an Air Force Strategic Air Command Base and then a Tactical Air

Command Base. It was transferred to the Ohio Air National Guard in 1980 and renamed

the Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base. In 1984, approximately 1,640 acres (of the

original 4,370 acres) were conveyed to the Rickenbacker Port Authority, which renamed

the site Rickenbacker International Airport. The airport is now owned and operated by

the Columbus Regional Airport Authority.

As part of any environmental restoration activities, the Department of Defense (DoD)

encourages community involvement through Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs). A RAB

provides an interactive opportunity for stakeholders to have early involvement in the

environmental restoration process. There is currently no RAB at the former Lockbourne

AFB; therefore, the Louisville District periodically re-evaluates community interest in

forming a RAB while environmental restoration activities are ongoing.

USACE Louisville District welcomes public feedback regarding interest in re-establishing

a RAB for the former Kincheloe Air Force Base property. Inquiries should be directed to

Charles Delano, Louisville District Public Affairs Office, 600 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Place,

Louisville, KY 40202, FUDSLRLPublicComments@usace.army.mil (502) 315-6769 by 30

January 2023. If there is sufficient and sustained community interest, the Louisville

District will consider re-establishing a RAB for the former Lockbourne Air Force Base

property.

The information repository, which contains additional project documents, is housed at

the Columbus Metropolitan Library Southeast Branch, 3980 S. Hamilton Road, Groveport,

OH 43125.
