Hygiene 

Initiative 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

As a child growing up in a single parent 

household, Kayla Davis could only 

watch as her mother was forced to make 

difficult choices between paying the 

monthly utilities or providing the essentials 

for her children when her finances 

could not be stretched further. 

Even with the assistance of federal 

housing programs and supplemental 

food programs, it was a constant battle 

for the family of six to stay afloat, let 

alone get ahead, financially. 

“She would always try but sometimes 

it came down to whether she would be 

able to pay off this bill and still have 

enough left over to provide us all with 

food to eat, and other times it came down 

to whether she could afford to buy us 

hygiene products or if she would have to 

use those extra dollars to be able to pay 

the water bill,” said Davis. 

Although she said she often felt a 

sense of helplessness as she witnessed 

her mother have to make these heartbreaking 

decisions for her family, it 

instilled within her a determination to 

take steps to improve the lives of those 

who may be in a similar situation. 

“It is really unfortunate that there are 

so many people out there that have to 

make those choices, that have to sit down 

with their families and explain that they 

may have to go without something that 

is essential and needed because you cannot 

afford it at the time,” she said. 

In her effort to make a positive impact 

on the community, the westside native

A Step in the Right Direction, a local non-profit organization which provides a variety 

of resources to the underserved population on the westside, is ready to launch a 

new initiative called The Hygiene Free Store. Beginning on March 1, individuals and 

families who live in four specific zip codes – 43222, 43223, 43204, and 43228 – will 

be able to request up to five personal hygiene items and cleaning supplies that are 

currently in stock free of charge, regardless of income. According to Kayla Davis, the 

executive director of the non-profit, community partners and generous donors have 

purchased hundreds of items ranging from body wash, dish soap, detergent, 

deodorant, toilet paper and toothbrushes and toothpaste that will be used to serve 

more than 40 families and individuals for the next several months. “We are so excited 

to start this new project because we know there is such a need for it,” said Davis, 

pictured here at right showcasing a few of the items with friend and volunteer Shyla 

Jackson. 

Input needed on 

funding priorities 


Staff Writer 

Do you believe there is a need for street 

lighting in your area? Do you feel that 

pedestrians are unsafe due to the lack of 

sidewalks in the neighborhood? Do you 

brace yourself for widespread flooding during 

inclement weather events? Do you see 

any other improvements that could be 

added or constructed within your community 

to better the environment in which 

you all live? If so, the Greater Hilltop Area 

Commission would like to hear from you. 

When the city of Columbus puts forth 

its annual capital improvements budget 

and the capital improvements plan, they 

start an engagement process with the 21 

area commissions to solicit ideas from the 

community on which infrastructure projects 

they believe should be prioritized by

the city in the current budget and the ones to follow. 

“This is a task that we take seriously because it 

could have implications for the community for decades 

to come,” said Dan Fagan, chair of the Hilltop commission 

during an interview after its February meeting. 

According to Fagan, city officials will soon release a 

budget request form to the area commissions which 

will enable its members to gather information from 

residents via committee meetings, personal email, or 

through its official website and social media page 

regarding potential infrastructure projects. (Residents 

should also be able to access the budget request form 

via the city’s website.) Through a collaborative process, 

the parties will determine which projects they believe 

should be deemed a funding priority by the city. 

Fagan said while it is unlikely the city will be able 

to fund every project the commission notes as a priority, 

having that list on hand will allow the city to keep 

on record the improvements the residents would like to 

see take place within their community. 

“And then hopefully they will be able to address

The commission will accept input on possible infrastructure 

projects until the end of March. It will then 

be submitted to the city for future consideration. 

Last year, the commission and the Hilltop residents 

came up with a capital improvements budget request 

and saw several of its projects receive funding. Some of 

the items on the 2022 list included improvements to 

the alleys through additional lighting, resurfacing, and 

permanent refuse collection bins; street repairs to 

West Broad Street; sidewalk and crossing upgrades to 

portions of Sullivant Avenue and West Broad Street; 

funding to build a new police substation on Sullivant 

Avenue; and the construction of a youth recreation 

center in the Holly Hill/Georgian Heights area. 

According to Averi Townsend, a legislative advisor 

with the city council’s division of community engagement, 

millions of dollars have been budgeted for infrastructure 

projects throughout the Greater Hilltop area 

and there are still several million dollars more that 

have been allocated or earmarked for improvements. 

Some of the budgeted items include $12.6 

million for the construction of the Sullivant 

Avenue substation; an allocation of $4 million 

for the execution of the Envision 

Hilltop plan; $1.4 million for new sidewalks 

on Springmont Avenue and an allocation of 

$2.6 million and $2.3 million for roadway 

improvements to Wheatland Avenue and 

portion of Sullivant Avenue, respectively. 

Major new spending items including $33.9 

million for Blueprint Hilltop Lining Project 

with a potential allocation of an additional 

$39 million in the 2023 budget. The goal of 

the Blueprint Hilltop Lining Project is to 

rehabilitate existing sanitary sewer mains 

and associated manholes in a project area 

that includes West Broad Street on the 

north, Derrer Road on the west, Sullivant 

Avenue on the south, and Wheatland 

Avenue on the east. 

In other news from the meeting, the 

commission unanimously approved a 

motion to send a letter of support to the 

Franklinton Area Neighbors (FAN) as they 

try to preserve the historic Engine House 

No. 10, located at 1096 W. Broad St. The 

engine house, which was active from 1897 

through 2008, is currently owned by the 

city. FAN would like to see it either be 

rehabilitated and brought up to code to use 

as a venue, or have it become registered as 

a historic place within the state. They plan 

to present the letters of support to the city 

council next month.


HYGIENE 

Continued from page 1 

and 2010 graduate of Franklin Heights 

High School founded a non-profit organization 

four years ago that was designed to 

help individuals who had experienced 

homelessness, served time in prison, or 

were recovering from addiction with reentry 

into society. In addition to providing 

housing assistance resources or workforce 

placement opportunities for these individuals, 

A Step in the Right Direction also was 

able to establish a number of summer-time 

festivities for children that also served as a 

link to community resources for their parents 

and guardians. 

“Those events had quite a few different 

purposes,” said Davis. “Not only did it provide 

kids and their families with quality 

bonding time in a safe environment, but it 

also allowed us to ask our community what 

their needs are and how they felt we could 

best serve them.” 

The feedback that was received recently 

prompted the local non-profit to establish 

three new pillars to address the needs of 

the under served on the westside. Those 

pillars are workforce development, family 

engagement, and health disparities. 

According to Davis, the workforce development 

pillar will establish additional outreach 

fairs for the community to find wellpaying 

jobs and opportunities in the region; 

the family engagement pillar will be 

designed to build and uplift the community 

through activities and events; and the 

health disparity pillar will aim to close 

those gaps through a variety of initiatives. 

While the non-profit organization is still 

working to strengthen its first two pillars 

before they are officially unveiled to the 

public, the third pillar is finally ready to 

“set up shop” with the Hygiene Free Store. 

“I am so excited for this initiative to 

launch because I believe there is a real 

need for this service within our community,” 

said Davis. 

For the past several months, Davis and 

the non-profit volunteer army have teamed 

up with a host of community partners such 

as Action for Children, CareSource, the 

Greater Hilltop Area Shalom Zone and the 

Period Pantry Project and generous donors 

throughout central Ohio to purchase and 

collect personal hygiene products and 

cleaning supplies to serve individuals and 

households who live in these four area 

codes — 43204, 43222, 43223, and 43228. 

“The items in our Hygiene Free Store 

will be offered free of charge and there is no 

income threshold,” said Davis. “Anyone 

who ever finds themselves in need is welcome 

to request items.” 

Starting on March 1, interested parties 

will be able to request up to five personal 

hygiene items and cleaning supplies along 

with three substitution items through A 

Step in the Right Direction’s Facebook 

page, website, or business number. Due to 

the fact that the Hygiene Free Store is not 

an actual storefront at this time, individuals 

and households will have to schedule a 

pick-up time at the Hilltop Branch of the 

Columbus Metropolitan Library, 511 S. 

Hague Ave., on and after March 25. In the 

event of an emergency, clients are asked to 

reach out to the non-profit’s representatives 

for assistance. 

“We are here to try to make life a little 

easier for people who may be struggling 

with some things in their lives,” said Davis. 

“We want to be able to be there for them 

and to do that we have to have flexibility 

with their situation or ability to acquire 

transportation to get these essentials they 

need.” 

There are currently hundreds of items 

in stock at the Hygiene Free Store. They 

include bars of soap and body wash; 

deodorant; dish soap; detergent; menstrual 

products; multi-purpose cleaners; toilet 

paper; toothbrushes and toothpaste; and 

trash bags. The Hygiene Free Store also 

has a few medical supplies on hand such as 

condoms, face masks, fentanyl test strips 

and Narcan, and there is also a limited 

supply of clothing items for those who are 

in need of socks and underwear. 

Davis said the store’s current stock of 

items should be able to serve at least 50 

individuals and/or households for the next 

three months. If donations keep arriving to 

replenish the store, Davis estimates they 

will be able to assist more than 400 individuals 

and families living on the westside by 

the end of the year. 

“Our ultimate goal is to expand into 

other communities outside of these four zip 

codes so we can continue to provide these 

essential items to other under served populations 

but we will have to see how this 

takes off,” she said. 

Davis said she is hopeful that the community 

will respond favorably to A Step in 

the Right Direction’s new initiative to close 

the gap on health disparities. 

“I know that it can be really hard to ask 

for help, but I just want people to know 

that we are out here to try to break down 

some of the burdens so people in the community 

do not have to decide whether to 

pay a bill or feed their family or buy 

hygiene products or cleaning items,” she 

said. “We’re here to say ‘Hey, we will take 

that off your plate so you can just go ahead 

and feed your family. You do not have to 

decide between this, that, or the other right 

now.’” 

To make a request for personal hygiene 

products, household cleaning supplies, or 

any of the medical supplies or clothing 

items at the Hygiene Free Store, visit A 

Step in the Right Direction’s Facebook 

page or their website at www.intherightdirection.org 

to fill out a form. Inquiries can 

also be made to the non-profit’s business 

number, 614-254-0046. If you are a client of 

Action for Children or the Greater Hilltop 

Area Shalom Zone, requests for items can 

be made on your behalf. 

If you are interested in donating items 

or contributing monetarily to the Hygiene 

Free Store, call 614-245-0046 or reach out 

via Facebook or the website. 

Shyla Jackson reorganizes the products 

on the shelves. When individuals or families 

request the five personal hygiene 

items or cleaning supplies, they can also 

request three substitute items including, 

but not limited to, clothing apparel such 

as socks and underwear or medical products 

such as fentanyl test strips or 

Narcan.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE 

We Settle 

into the 

Work 

The Ohio House of Representatives conducts 

the bulk of its work through its committee structure. 

The House Rules and Reference Committee 

refers each introduced bill to one of 28 

legislative committees for hearings and discussion. 

In these smaller groups, bills are researched 

and dissected. Proponents and 

opponents provide information, justification 

and/or opposition to each proposal. Should a 

bill garner sufficient support, it gets approved 

by the committee for consideration by the 

entire House. If it is approved by the House, it is 

sent to the Senate, where it undergoes a similar 

process. 

The Senate can approve a bill, alter it, or deny it. 

A collective “no” vote kills the proposal. An 

altered bill goes back to the House for reconsideration. 

An approved bill is sent to the Governor 

for his signature. He can sign it, let it become 

law without his signature, or veto it. His veto 

also kills the bill, unless three-fifths of the members 

of both the House and Senate vote to override 

his veto. 

I serve on five committees: the Higher Education 

Committee, of which I serve as vice chair 

and which considers bills pertaining to Ohio’s 

colleges and universities, the Finance Subcommittee 

for Primary and Secondary Education, 

the Economic and Workforce Development 

Committee, the Technology and Innovation 

Committee, and the Insurance Committee. By 

the time you read this, all the committees on 

which I served will have met, many multiple 

times. 

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Jason Stephens, has announced legislative priorities 

for the House during this General Assembly, 

based on his conversations with our 

collective members. The overall theme is “Come 

to Ohio, Stay in Ohio.” Our priorities will revolve 

around three main themes: growing our economy, 

protecting our families, and educating our 

communities. He has outlined 12 proposed 

pieces of legislation that, if enacted, will help reinforce 

these themes. For example, to help grow 

Ohio’s economy, the legislature will consider 

proposals to lower state income tax rates, spur 

economic development with a portion of the 

one-time money that appears to be available in 

this biennium budget, increase the supply of affordable 

housing via tax incentives to developers 

and first-time home buyers, and assure that 

state government funds are invested where 

they will show the greatest return. 

I will write more about these priority bills and 

their progress through the legislative process in 

future communications with you. 

(Dave Dobos represents the 10th District in the 

Ohio House of Representatives, which consists 

of parts of West, Southwest, and South Columbus, 

Grove City, and Urbancrest. He reports regularly 

on his activities in this position and his 

campaign has paid for this communication with 

you.)

A multi-year project that aims to make lasting improvements to 

one of the largest properties within the South-Western City 

Schools District will soon come to a close. 

At its meeting on Feb. 13, the board of education unanimously 

approved an item for action that allowed the district to come to 

terms with a local construction company for the third and final 

phase of the transportation lot improvement project. 

Under the terms of the contract, the district will pay the 

Columbus-based Strawser Paving Company $471,300 to remove 

old asphalt paving from under the bus parking spaces and replace 

it with roller compacted concrete for extra durability. 

“This will alleviate buses sinking into the asphalt,” said Evan

Art exhibit features work from Galloway resident 

The first exhibit of the year at the London Arts Center will 

showcase the work of Ken Madden. The exhibit runs Feb. 16 

through March 19. 

A native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Madden moved to the 

United States in 1971. He has lived in the Galloway area for the 

past 47 years. Recently retired, he spent most of his career working 

as a designer. 

When it comes to art, Madden is self-taught with the exception 

of one year of study at the Columbus College of Art & Design. He 

said he draws to confront the manmade confusion in life. 

“In my art, I seek peace, tranquility, and shelter from the 

storm,” he said. “The purpose of my work is to express feelings and 

emotions that are shrouded by darkness. For me, words are never 

enough. Reality cannot justify the things I see, so I create my own 

fictional reality.” 

“Fictional Reality” is the title of Madden’s show. The exhibit 

will feature approximately 30 pieces, most of which Madden completed 

in the past five years. He works primarily in graphite and 

charcoal but also creates works using watercolors, pastels, oil pastels, 

acrylics, and other media. This marks the first time he has 

shown his personal artwork publically. 

The London Arts Center is located at 121 E. First St., London. 

Regular gallery hours are: Thursday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 

p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Open studio hours take place 4 

to 7 p.m. Tuesdays.

Final repairs planned at transportation lot 

email explaining the scope of the project. 

In addition to that payment, the district will also pay $47,000 

for owner’s contingency for unforeseen items and/or owner 

requested changes during the construction process. 

The final phase of the transportation lot improvement project 

will take place over the summer when the district’s fleet of more 

than 200 buses sit idle. 

The first phase of the project to make improvements to the 13- 

acre lot on Southwest Boulevard was completed in 2021 and the 

second phase was completed in the following year. District officials 

said the project had to be broken down into multiple phases 

because of the scope of the project and the logistics of relocating 

hundreds of buses. 

The need for the paving project was addressed at a board of 

education meeting in 2020 when employees with the transportation 

department began to notice fissures growing underneath the 

asphalt. The district has spent more than $935,000 to address 

these issues in its first and second phase of the transportation lot 

improvement project. 

In related news, the board of education also approved a contract 

with Final Floor Inc., a flooring contractor based out of Sugar 

Grove, Ohio, to replace the gymnasium flooring at Grove City High 

School in the (estimated) amount of $205,856. The board said this 

measure was needed as the flooring was extensively damaged 

when a water line burst at the school over winter break. 

District officials said the work to replace the wooden floor will 

begin at the conclusion of the winter sports season. 

In other news, the district has approved its summer school calendar 

for high school students. Summer school will take place 

from June 7 through June 30 (there will be no school on June 19) 

and the instruction hours will be held from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

The district will not provide transportation during the summer 

session and there will be no fee assessed to the students. 

Central Crossing and Grove City High School students will 

attend classes at Central Crossing, whereas Franklin Heights students 

and Westland students will attend classes at their respective 

schools. All students taking health or physical education will 

attend Central Crossing. 

The end of course exams will take place on June 26, 27, 28, 29; 

Each high school will test their own students. 

Graduation is scheduled for Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. at Westland High 

School.

Shelter Foundation to award 

scholarship to FHHS student 

This spring, the Shelter Insurance 

Foundation will award a $1,500 scholarship 

to a graduate of Franklin Heights 

High School. Shelter Agent Matt Castle 

sponsors and partially funds this scholarship. 

A committee of local high school officials 

and community leaders will select the local 

recipient. The committee will consider each 

applicant’s scholastic achievements, educational 

goals, citizenship, moral character, 

and participation and leadership in school 

and community activities. The scholarship 

is given without regard to race, disability, 

religion, national origin, or gender of applicants. 

The name of the recipient will be 

announced at the close of the school year. 

The student may apply the scholarship 

funds toward tuition, fees, or campus housing 

for any course of study beginning the 

fall after the recipient’s high school graduation 

and leading to an academic degree at 

any accredited college or university. The 

foundation makes payment directly to the 

school the recipient selects. 

Applications should be completed and 

returned to the school official serving on 

the selection committee by March 31. 

For more information, interested seniors 

should contact their high school counselor 

or principal.

Westland Area Commissioners approved a rezoning 

request for a multi-family housing development. The 

action was taken at the February monthly meeting. 

Joe Thomas, director of development at Metro 

Development LLC, attended to the meeting to present the 

zoning requests for the property at 6410 Old Hall 

Road in Galloway. 

The property is 160 acres in total with a large 

part of it in the Darby Accord. Since some of the 

land is unable to be developed, Thomas said they 

would be donating 126 acres to Columbus Parks 

and Recreation once the property is purchased. 

Thomas also said that Prairie Township is interested 

in a portion of the property. 

Metro Development plans to build two multifamily 

housing communities on the property near 

Hall and Galloway roads. According to Thomas, 

this will be completed in two phases. 

The communities will be made up of one, two, 

and three-bedroom apartments that would range 

in price from $1,100 to $1,800 per month. The communities 

include amenities such as a pool, community 

center, and fitness center for residents to 

enjoy. 

According to Thomas, the company met with 

residents in close proximity to the property and 

will work to resolve their concerns, such as how 

close the buildings originally were planned to 

Galloway road, privacy fencing, shrub screening, 

and turn lanes and road improvements. 

The commissioners added a few restrictions to 


Housing proposal approved at Westland Area Commission 

the proposal. The commissioners said that the property 

owners should work with the city of Columbus on a park 

plan and they should also work with Prairie Township on 

stormwater management plans. 

The commission voted 11-0 in approval of the variances 

requested by Metro Development and 9-2 in approval of 

the zoning request. 

Representatives from American Electric Power (AEP) 

also attended the meeting to speak about outages that 

occurred in the area in both June and December. 

According to AEP representative Angie Rybalt, in June 

there was a significant storm in the midwest. Although 

Columbus did not see a lot of the damage, high winds 

caused significant damage to large transmission lines. 

Some of those lines went down and were severely damaged. 

The temperatures rose to a heat index of 110, so the 

lines that remained quickly became overloaded and AEP 

was “forced to do an emergency outage.” 

According to Rybalt, the problems in December were a 

result of a supply issue. In June, AEP did not have the 

infrastructure in place to get electricity to residents' 

homes. 

AEP’s coordinator PJM asked the company to conserve 

electricity to help prevent grid protection power outages. 

Due to the combined actions of the public grid protection, 

power outages were not needed. 

According to Rybalt, the company is making strides to 

provide faster information and develop better systems to 

prevent these outages and more quickly resolve future 

occurrences.

MORPC report shows air quality improvements 

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning 

Commission (MORPC) has released its 

annual Air Quality Report, summarizing 

air quality data from November 2021 to 

October 2022. 

MORPC issues daily air quality forecasts 

and notifies the public when groundlevel 

ozone and particle pollution levels are 

forecasted to be unhealthy for sensitive 

groups of people through Air Quality 

Alerts. On days with an Air Quality Alert, 

children, older adults, and those with lung 

illnesses, such as asthma, can experience 

symptoms like shortness of breath and 

wheezing. 

Over the past 30 years, the number of 

high ozone days has declined across Ohio 

and neighboring states. This decline has 

been driven mostly by emissions reductions, 

with the most notable decrease in 

high ozone days occurring after 2012. 

However, there are variations year to year 

due to weather conditions and other factors. 

“Air quality in central Ohio continues to 

improve over the long term, and with the 

region’s anticipated growth and development, 

it’s more important than ever to elevate 

clean air solutions that support the 

health and quality of life for our residents 

while reducing transportation and energy

costs,” said MORPC’s Sustainability 

Officer Brandi Whetstone. 

MORPC uses the national Air Quality 

Index (AQI) to communicate about air 

quality and the associated health effects. 

Overall, the majority of days in central 

Ohio were in the Good Air Quality Index 

category. For ozone, 84 percent of summer 

days were in the Good AQI category. Ozone 

monitoring takes place from March 1 - 

October 31 and forms when emissions from 

sources such as vehicles, industry, and 

power plants react in the presence of sunlight. 

PM2.5, or fine particle pollution, is 

made up of fine solid or liquid droplets that 

can get into the lungs and bloodstream. 

Sources include diesel trucks, power 

plants, and wood burning. For PM2.5, 96 

percent of all days were in the Good AQI 

category, and the Moderate AQI category 

for 4 percent of all days. The 2021-2022 

period marks the 12th consecutive season 

without Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups 

(USG) PM2.5 levels. The last PM2.5 day 

was recorded on Aug. 3, 2010. 

Three days with Unhealthy for 

Sensitive Groups levels were observed during 

the ozone forecast season. The three 

USG ozone days in summer 2022 were the 

most recorded in the Columbus region in

four years. 

On June 21, the daily ozone AQI value 

reached 143, which was the highest ozone 

day in the Columbus region since 2012. 

Smoke from fires across the southwestern 

and south-central U.S. carried into the 

Columbus region enhanced ozone production. 

These conditions, combined with pollutant 

carryover from the previous day, led 

to an observed AQI value at the New 

Albany monitoring site of 143, the highest 

ozone AQI recorded in the Columbus region 

since July 2, 2012. 

“Clearly, air pollution doesn’t recognize 

political boundaries, so we can expect to 

see elevated pollution levels due to carry 

over pollution or wildfire smoke. With that

This film really bugs me 

I have to admit that I have not been 

staying up-to-date with the latest happenings 

in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — 

after releasing more than 40 films and television 

shows within a span of 15 years, I 

am a bit tired of this world — but I also have 

to admit that I always keep my eyes open 

for anything and everything related to the 

“Ant-Man” franchise. 

Ever since the shrinking superhero 

series made its theatrical debut in 2015, 

there was something that felt different 

about this property and truly set it apart 

from all of the other offerings that had 

come before it — and especially those that 

came after. 

I think much of that different feeling 

stemmed from it being centered around an 

average guy — or in this case, an ex-con — 

named Scott Lang who temporarily gains 

superpowers after he accidentally dons a 

special suit that shrinks the wearer down 

to ant size with the push of a button. 

Played by the affable and charming actor 

Paul Rudd, Scott’s adventures in and out of 

the suit made these films that were full of 

low stakes, fun hijinks, and shifts-in-scale 

camera shots something special and something 

to look forward to whenever this 

character had the opportunity to shine in 

his own solo films. 

When I heard that Marvel Studios had 

announced that “Ant-Man” would be getting 

his third solo film, I was looking forward 

to watching it even though the 

Marvel fatigue had already set in at that 

point. But when I heard that this film was 

going to be the film that would kick-start 

phase five of its ambitious plan to bring 

every single Marvel comic book character 

to life on the big screen (that might be a 

slight exaggeration), my excitement started 

to wane because I knew what this probably 

meant: That Marvel Studios had 

taken over this franchise in service of the 

greater Marvel machine. And that is exactly 

what happened with “Ant-Man and the 

Wasp: Quantumania.” 

Gone are the fun hijinks, the usual 

quirky personalities, and the laid-back feel 

Hat and scarf giveaway at 

Westland Area Library 

A hat and scarf giveaway is back at the 

Westland Area Library. These winter 

warming items have been made and donated 

by Westland community crafters. 

Patrons can take an item they need or 

leave an item for others. The giveaway will 

run through February. The Westland Area 

Library is located at 4740 West Broad St. 

in Columbus. 

Produce giveaway at YMCA 

The Hilltop YMCA hosts a fresh produce 


of the first two films and in its stead is a 

proper MCU blockbuster complete with 

high stakes, intense drama, copious battle 

scenes, and shoe-horned lore and villainy 

to sustain the next decade of Marvel film 

and television properties. The only thing 

that really saves this film or makes it 

worthwhile to watch are the performances 

of the main cast and the warrior ants who 

make an appearance later on. 

When the awkwardly titled film begins, 

we learn that Scott has been on quite the 

tear in the years since helping save the 

world from Thanos, the purple villain from 

the first three phases of the MCU who 

“snapped” billions from existence. His tear 

nowadays is not helping people, technically, 

but rather touring the country to sell his 

memoir that recounts his transition from 

an ex-con to an Avenger whose idea 

sparked the time heist that restored billions 

of lives during the Infinity Battle. 

Although he is certainly proud of his 

accomplishments (who ever thought he 

would be able to write a best-selling book 

one day?), his 18-year-old daughter Cassie 

(Kathryn Newton) is less than impressed 

by this latest version of her father, believing 

that he should still be living up to the 

title of his memoir and “looking out for the 

little guy.” 

Because she has taken up the mantle to 

look out for the little guy, it has gotten her 

into quite a bit of trouble with the law. 

After her latest arrest at a protest for 

homeless rights, Cassie and her dad get 

into an argument that leads the pair, along 

with Scott’s superhero romantic partner 

Hope van Dyne/the Wasp (Evangeline 

Lilly) and her parents Janet van Dyne and 

Hank Pym (Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael 

Douglas, respectively), to accidentally get 

sucked into the Quantum Realm, a subatomic 

world under the Earth that is filled 

with beauty, mystery, and dangerous creatures. 

One of the most dangerous creatures 

within this strange new world is a timetraveling 

being named Kang the Conqueror 

(a fantastic Jonathan Majors) who had laid 

giveaway the third Wednesday of each 

month from 4 to 6 p.m. at 2879 Valleyite 

Drive in Columbus. For more information, 

call the YMCA at 614-276-8224. 

Breakfast at the Lodge 

to benefit Special Olympics 

The Westmeath Masonic Lodge #623 is 

preparing breakfasts once a month to benefit 

the Special Olympics. The public is 

invited to have breakfast the second 

Saturday of each month at 2925 West 

Broad St. Adults eat for a donation of $6, 

children age 3 and above pay $3. Serving is 

from 9 a.m. to noon. 

waste to much of the Quantum Realm. 

Having been trapped there for decades, 

Kang is eager to get out and travel into a 

different timeline because there is so much 

to see, so much to conquer, so much to 

destroy. Naturally, it falls upon Scott and 

his not-so-merry band of troublemakers to 

ensure that Kang does not get out and 

wreak havoc onto the world. 

I am often puzzled by some of the decisions 

that the executives at Marvel Studios 

make but introducing Kang the Conqueror 

in the “Ant-Man” series was a real headscratcher 

for me. I think they wanted to 

bring this new and menacing yet complicated 

villain into a property that most of the 

general audience knew well, but it created 

a very unusual tonal imbalance throughout 

the entire film, and especially when Scott 

and Kang met and eventually battled. I 

guess that is just what happens when you 

try to shoe-horn a bunch of lore and heavy 

action into a movie franchise that has 

always been light on both. 

“Quantumania” is a movie that is too 

reliant on CGI and action to get points and 

plots across, but I maintain that it did not 

have to go this way. Had Marvel Studio 

trusted director 

Peyton Reed and 

writers Jeff 

Loveness and Jack 

Kirby to come up 

with something 

inventive that 

worked within the framework of the previous 

two “Ant-Man” installations, this 

movie could have been completely salvageable. 

Instead, Marvel executives passed 

along too many notes on how to prepare for 

its future vehicles and ended up making a 

very sad “Ant-Man” experience for this fan. 

Good thing we had the charming presence 

of Rudd and the material and scenery 

chewing talent of Pfeiffer and Majors to 

make up for all that it lacked.

Dog license renewal runs 

through March 31 

Dog license renewal season is under 

way, and licenses are now available for 

purchase without penalty at the auditor’s 

office. 

The dog license renewal period will run 

through March 31, an extension of two 

months to increase the rate of licensing. As 

in past years, licenses may be purchased 

at doglicense.franklincountyohio.gov, or at 

the auditor’s office license counter, 373 S. 

High St., 21st Floor in downtown 

Columbus. The counter is open Monday 

through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

One-year, three-year, and permanent 

dog licenses can be purchased through 

March 31. After the deadline, the cost to 

purchase a license doubles. 

The office will also offer licensing at 

expanded locations across the county, 

including at pet vaccination clinics, the 

Franklin County Dog Shelter, and at other 

community events. 

In addition to being required by state 

law, dog licensing ensures that a dog has 

been vaccinated against rabies, which is 

required in Franklin County. It also 

ensures any lost dog is returned quickly to 

their owners. 

Visit doglicense.franklincountyohio.gov 

for more information. 

Blood drive 

The American Red Cross will host a 

blood drive from 12 to 6 p.m. on March 3 in 

the Kingston Center, 3226 Kingston Ave. 

in Grove City. To schedule an appointment, 

call 1-800-448-3543 or visit 

www.redcrossblood.org.
