Hamilton Township High School sent two 

wrestlers to the OHSAA State Wrestling 

Tournament, held March 8-10 at Ohio 

State’s Schottenstein Center. Audrina 

Pack (left), a junior, entered the tournament 

with a record of 31-6 in the 235 

pound class. She pinned Le Naysia 

Dickson of Lyndhurst Brush in 34 seconds. 

Pack lost to eventual champion, 

Brooke Jenkins of Vermillion, but she 

came back to pin her next two opponents. 

Pack lost her semi-final match before 

wrapping up on a high note, pinning junior 

Alexas Cowan of West Union to finish 

in the fifth place spot. Sienna Sanborn 

(right), a senior, returned to tournament 

for the fourth the time and competed in 

the 130 pound class. She pinned Liberty 

Johnson of Batavia Clermont 

Northeastern and defeated Kai Gaetjens 

of Mogadore. She lost her next two 

matches before winning her final match 

over Emily Flynn of Hubbard. The final 

win made Sanborn a three time state 

placer, taking fifth all three years. She finished 

the season with a record of 45-4. 

Sanborn passed the 100 career win milestone 

this season and signed to wrestle 

next season at Tiffin University. 

Legal hurdle hurts sports group in CW 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Unforeseen legal issues could impact a local 

sports organization and Canal Winchester Joint 

Recreation District programming after operating 

under an agreement with Canal Winchester 

Schools. 

Canal Winchester Board of Education member 

Adam Twiss said during the board’s March 

11 meeting he believes the biggest sticking point 

in recent discussions with the CWJRD was the 

Tomahawks football program. 

“They agreed to a one-year deal, the same deal 

they had last year, but the problem is there are 

no Port-a-Potties, no trash cans, and I believe the 

fields were not lined,” said Twiss. “That was the

sticking point at that meeting. I was there at the 

meeting and they decided everything was going 

to come back through the CWJRD for the new 

season. Being the transition season this year, 

that would help transition into a new beginning, 

if you want to call it that.” 

A letter was sent out to participants describing 

the situation. However, the district later discovered 

the CWJRD could not legally sublease 

facilities to the Tomahawks program. 

“Previously, the CWJRD and Tomahawks had 

an agreement in leasing out the school and we 

can no longer do that,” said board member 

Vangela Barnes. 

Canal Winchester Schools Superintendent 

Kiya Hunt said the district was informed they 

“A name you know, Experience you can trust” 

are unable to have facilities subleased, which is 

the situation with the district and their lease 

with the CWJRD, which subleases facilities to 

the Tomahawks. 

“In this situation, we were told we could not 

have the CWJRD sublease our facilities,” Hunt 

said. 

According to Barnes, the legal position is concerning, 

but she wanted to make sure that, as a 

school board, they are not against having a recreation 

league, but were forced to make changes to 

be compliant legally. 

Eric McGhee, one of the founders of the sixyear-old 

Tomahawk football program said, “It

Efforts to save historic school 


Staff Writer 

A little brick building at the corner of U.S. 

Route 23 and Rathmell Road once served 

students of Hamilton Local Schools as far 

back as the late 19th century and area resident 

Walley Obert is hoping to continue that 

tradition. 

Now abandoned and boarded up as construction 

continues on a nearby Google complex, 

the little schoolhouse built in 1880 

could get a second life. 

School doors closed to students in 1926 

and the building was sold at public auction 

in 1930. It is currently owned by the 

Hartman Foundation and was one of many 

Hartman Farms row homes. 

Obert started an effort to move the brick 

one-story structure well before COVID 

struck and never abandoned his dream of 

keeping the structure safe from the wrecking 

ball in the name of progress. 

“This building was intended to be used to 

teach students,” said Obert, “and it can be 

again.” 

A proposed new home for what became known as 

the Hartman School is on grounds bordering the 

Hamilton Elementary School just up the road off of 

Parsons Avenue. Obert said organizers plan to create a 

non-profit group in order to fund the project. 

“I never stopped talking about it and I’m hoping to 

get it accomplished within three years,” said Obert, 

who is a Hamilton Board of Education member, but 

spearheading the project as a private, passionate citizen. 

“I’d like to see our history brought to our campus. 

It’s personally important to me to keep this history. 

There are some things we have to do and other things 

we don’t have to do because it’s an historical building.” 

While public school funding cannot be used in support 

of the project, Hamilton Schools Superintendent 

Mark Tyler said the district can provide the land to 

rebuild the Hartman school. 

Hamilton Township trustee news 

At the Feb. 14 Hamilton Township trustee meeting: 

•A citizen asked if the current EMT education program 

at Hamilton Township High School could possibly 

be used to create a pool of these EMT-Basic’s to 

hire. Hamilton Township Fire Chief 

Rosenbergerstated that he and the assistant fire chief 

have been discussing a safety service class with 

Hamilton Township Schools that could potentially 

turn out both law enforcement and fire candidates. 

•Trustee Chairman Chris Hann was recently contacted 

by the village of Lockbourne leadership about 

using the township community center as a place of

Continued from page 1 

seems something that was going really well for the 

community has been thrown a curve ball and there’s 

no answers. Money, field space, and kids are the number 

one thing that’s been wildly overlooked in this. I 

think as a group, as a whole as the Tomahawks, we 

haven’t been given any answers and we’re trying to 

find out why these changes.” 

McGhee said Tomahawks football teams are comprised 

of Canal Winchester kids, but added it feels like 

they’re being priced out and, as an organization, won’t 

be able to run football in the community.

The Hartman School, a historic school building in the Hamilton 

Local School District. 

“This is an opportunity for the community to preserve 

a part of its history,” said Tyler. 

Obert said volunteers are talking with a Zanesville 

contractor to see if the structure can be moved as it 

now stands, east up Rathmell Road to Parsons Avenue 

southbound and then east to the school campus. 

While changes were made when the schoolhouse 

was turned into a private residence, Obert said original 

wood window frames are still intact, as well as an 

original plaster chalkboard. 

“When we were in there, I pulled off some peeling 

wallpaper and the chalkboard was underneath,” said 

Obert. “It still has a wood ceiling and was a very well 

structured building with a cedar shingled roof that was 

later slated over. We’re just in the preliminary phase 

of the project and should know within two to three 

weeks what the cost should be. We’ll need volunteers 

to help and if it can be done, we’re going to need to 

have local fundraisers.” 

shelter in their disaster plan. Hann stated the community 

center has a generator, several cots, and limited 

supplies for use. Residents have showers available at 

the fire department if needed. Trustee phone numbers 

have been provided to Lockbourne so they can contact 

an elected official if they need to use the facility. 

Hamilton approves police contract 

On Feb. 14, the Hamilton Township trustees 

approved the 2024 police services contract with the 

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. The contract is for 

$1.06 million with an increase of $21,336 or $1,778 per 

month. The term of the contract is Jan. 1, 2024 

through Dec. 31, 2024. 

“That kind of handcuffs us and puts us in a bad 

position in the community,” said McGhee. “I’m just 

looking for answers right now and I don’t feel like 

we’ve been given the proper channels.” 

Board President Monica Talley said the board will 

take his concerns under advisement. 

According to the Central Ohio Youth Athletic 

Association website, the Canal Winchester 

Tomahawks offer baseball for youths in grades three 

through six and football and cheerleading for kindergarten 

through grade six.

Appreciating the art of everything 


Staff Writer 

The bright lights and busy environment 

of a movie set are beckoning Addison 

Parker. 

With family roots still planted firmly in 

Canal Winchester, Parker–a 2020 Canal 

Winchester High School graduate and senior 

at the University of Alabama–is pursuing 

a career in filmmaking and recently 

served as an assistant director for the university’s 

first student feature film. 

“My role was the point of communication 

for cast and crew when it came to 

scheduling and on-set production,” said 

Parker. “In essence, my job required me to 

take the 100 plus page script, break it up 

into filmable chunks (typically based on 

the location needs), and then to schedule 

the days and times we would actually be 

able to film those things. While the job is 

never easy, since this was a student film, I 

had the added challenge of scheduling the 

entire production around the class schedule 

of the crew and cast members as well. I 

began work on this project in early 

December and as of now, we have officially 

wrapped production.” 

The movie is a coming of age story 

involving a 19-year-old girl named Evelyn 

who, in order to come to terms with her 

present life, must face her past and reunite 

with her mom who left her 10 years ago. 

Parker is in the process of directing two 

short films, all in her final semester of college. 

She graduates in May with a degree 

in creative media and became involved in 

directing after taking a course in 

scriptwriting. 

“The two films I’m getting ready to 

direct are scripts I have workshopped for 

about a year now,” said Parker. “One of 

them in particular started out as a small, 

two-scene sample I wrote in a screenwriting 

class a year and a half ago. It was for a 

horror/suspense writing assignment and I 

had chosen to write in the style of a psychological 

thriller because my mom and I were 

obsessed with thrillers and would watch 

them together.” 

The second short film Parker is directing 

is a more traditional narrative following 

a woman who is unhappy with her life 

and decides that a life-changing hike is the 

answer to all of her problems. 

When writing, Parker said she has a 

strong, clear vision for the story she is 

telling and is able to visually describe what 

the final edit should look like simply from 

words on a page. 

“That’s when I signed up for my first 

directing class and made ‘The 

Understudies’ (2023),” said Parker. “It was 

a script I had first written in screenwriting, 

and with my connection to the theatre 

department at UA, I knew I was able to get 

resources I would need to tell this comedic 

story about the dramatic environment of 

high school theatre. Once I stepped onto 

the set of ‘The Understudies,’ I knew. One 

of my professors at the time had been there 

observing and she pulled me aside very 

“Once I stepped onto the set of 

‘The Understudies,’ I knew. One of 

my professors at the time had been 

there observing and she pulled me 

aside very quickly and said, ‘This is 

what you need to be doing. Do this 

as much as you can.’” 

- Addison Parker 

quickly and said, ‘This is what you need to 

be doing. Do this as much as you can.’” 

In switching from feature length to the 

short film format, one of the biggest differences 

Parker’s discovered is with short 

films, directors often choose to take on the 

duties of an assistant director. 

“Since you have less to film, typically 

the director has more space to handle the 

communications and scheduling,” Parker 

said. “With a feature film, the director is 

usually so concerned with continuity, getting 

the correct emotional performance out 

of their actors, and overseeing the producer's 

work that having an assistant director 

is no longer an added bonus, but a necessity. 

It’s much easier to complete a short film 

in a small window of time with a smaller 

crew, but a feature film would be impossible 

without the active assistance of an 

involved team.” 

Parker thinks people might be surprised 

at the amount of behind-the-scenes work it 

takes to create a short film. She said viewers 

typically don’t think about the months 

of preparation, including script rewrites, 

location booking, production scheduling, 

the best order shooting scenes based on the 

sun’s position in relation to location, set 

dressing, costumes and more. 

“People even forget that, as a director, 

you have to provide full meals on set to all 

of your cast and crew members any time 

you have them working longer than five 

hours,” said Parker. “Working on my own 

films has absolutely changed the way in 

which I consume cinema. I’m much more 

impressed with large Hollywood films and 

appreciate the effort that goes into creating 

a beautiful and realistic set, but I’m also 

much more aware of continuity errors in 

films.” 

With the keen eye of a director, Parker 

said she can always spot when a character's 

drink magically changes, how much it 

is filled from one shot to another, or when 

the plot has unexplained holes in it. She 

also notices when shots are slightly out of 

focus. 

“In some ways, it can drive you crazy to 

analyze films in this way, but it also amplifies 

the appreciation I have for a beautifully 

lit scene or the way in which the editor 

chose to splice together an interaction,” 

said Parker. “In films, most of the time the 

goal is for lighting and editing to be so 

seamless, the audience doesn’t pay any 

attention to it, but as a filmmaker, we 

learn to analyze and appreciate the art of 

everything.”

First “super load” passes through 

My 

Legislative 

Aide 

The Legislature currently is on recess and will return 

just after Easter. I have asked my Legislative Aide, 

Teddy Smith, to introduce himself in this issue’s column 

and let us know what his responsibilities are. 

I am Teddy Smaith, the Legislative Aide for Representative 

Dave Dobos. Although I now work for the 

State of Ohio, I was born in downtown Chicago, Illinois 

in 2001. I spent the first 18 years of my life in 

the city and suburbs of Chicago, before deciding to 

attend The Ohio State University, where I earned a 

bachelor’s degree in political science with a focus 

on American Politics. While at OSU, I fell in love with 

the city of Columbus and knew I wanted to spend 

the beginning of my post-grad career here. So, I applied 

to be a Legislative Aide in the Ohio House of 

Representatives. After interviewing with a few Representatives, 

I was offered the position by Representative 

Dobos and accepted without a second 

thought. 

I’ve now been working for Rep. Dobos and the 

House since October 2023, and the position has 

provided me with great experience in my field. My 

responsibilities focus on helping the Representative 

serve his constituents as best he can. Many are clerical 

duties, such as following up on constituent requests, 

setting up and preparing him for meetings, 

communicating event invitations, and keeping track 

of his schedule. I also assist him with the legislative 

process. For example, when working on a new 

piece of legislation, I am typically the main point of 

contact for any organizations or constituents who 

may be advising the Representative on the bill. I 

also keep track of any changes the bill may need before 

it can be sent to the Clerk’s office and placed in 

a committee. In addition to legislative duties, Representative 

Dobos’ position as Vice Chair of the 

House Transportation Committee means I hold the 

title of Vice Clerk. As Vice Clerk, I am responsible for 

taking the minutes at every Transportation Committee 

meeting, keeping a record of every bill and testimony 

that passes through the committee, and 

helping the Clerk (the legislative aide of the committee 

chair) with any committee-related issues that 

may arise. Being the Legislative Aide for Rep. Dobos 

has been a rewarding challenge for me, and I could 

not have asked for a more fulfilling opportunity so 

quickly after graduating. If you ever have any questions, 

insights, or concerns as a constituent of Rep. 

Dobos, please don’t hesitate to e-mail the Representative 

or me at rep10@ohiohouse.gov. 

(Dave Dobos represents the 10th District in the Ohio 

House of Representatives, which consists of parts of 

West, Southwest, and South Columbus, Grove City, Urbancrest, 

and portions of Franklin and Jackson Townships. 

He reports regularly on his activities in this 

position and his campaign has paid for this communication 

with you.)

The first shipment of the giant things 

passed through southeastern Franklin 

County from March 8-10. 

“This first super load was one of the 

smaller ones that will pass through the area 

this year,” said Groveport Police Chief Casey 

Adams. “This one was on its way to a project 

in Hebron, which is not related to the Intel 

project in Licking County.” 

Adams said this first shipment rolled 

through the area from Rickenbacker Airport 

to Old Bixby Road in less than two hours. 

“There were no big problems,” said 

Adams. “One stop sign had to be moved and 

the truck and the load went slightly over a 

curb at Opus Drive and Green Pointe Drive 

South.” 

According to the Ohio Department of 

Transportation, these super loads will pass 

through the area several times this year. They arrive in 

Manchester, Ohio, via barge and each load will move onto 

a semi-truck and be transported via a predetermined route 

to either New Albany or Hebron. Most of the loads are 

associated with Intel’s semiconductor campus in Licking 

County. The other destination is Freepoint EcoSystems’ 

advanced recycling facility just north of Hebron. The loads 

will not contain any hazardous material. 

ODOT officials said some of the loads will could weigh 

up to 900,000 pounds, be 19 feet wide, 24 feet high, and 270 

feet long. Each oversized and overweight load will take 

approximately 8-15 days to reach its destination from 

Manchester. While no long-term closures or detours are 

planned, slow-rolling roadblocks will be necessary during 

transit, and drivers should plan ahead for long delays 

along the route. 

In Groveport, these shipments may require southbound 

traffic to be diverted for portions of State Route 317 during 

which some super load trucks will travel northbound in the 

southbound lanes between Groveport Road and Bixby 

Road to ensure clearance of utility lines and traffic signals. 

Each super load truck is escorted by several Ohio State Highway 

Patrol troopers, vehicles from ODOT, and vehicles from the heavy 

hauler companies. Crews will move power lines and traffic signals 

out of the way and resolve other needs that arise. 

According to city of Groveport officials, the city is collaborating 

with ODOT, Madison Township Police and Fire Departments, and 

other first responder partners to ensure emergency vehicles can 

get around the super load trucks. Large electronic message boards 

are placed at key locations along the expected travel route in 

advance of each shipment to inform motorists of the impending 

obstacle to their commute. 

Visit www.OHGO.com or download the OHGO mobile app to 

review real-time traffic updates. For information visit www.transportation.ohio.gov. 

The route 

Here is the expected route for the super loads in Pickaway, 

Franklin, and Licking counties: 

•Travel north on U.S. 23 to Chillicothe. 

•Take U.S. 35 west to State Route 104 north.

This song is either brilliant or an 

incredibly annoying sound to bounce off 

one’s ear drums. 

It’s “Surfin’ Bird” by The Trashmen, 

which made it into Billboard’s top 10 in 

1963 and is known for the repetitive line 

“the bird is the word.” 

Though the song arose during the surf 

music craze of the early 1960s, I am throwing 

this out there for your consideration: I 

think it might be the first punk rock 

record, pre-dating the raucous punk rock 

music era of the late 1970s by more than a 

decade. 

Arguments can be made that Link 

Wray, with his distorted guitar sounds, or 

Dick Dale, with his use of volume and 

reverb, could claim this mantle of the earliest 

punk rock record, or maybe even 

Little Richard with his energetic, frenzied 

sound. But the music created by these and 

others like them is still more polished than 

the crazy cacophony of “Surfin’ Bird.” 

From a bit of research, I’ve found that 

the song is a mash up - by the garage band 

The Trashmen, who hailed from Minnesota 

- of two rhythm and blues songs written by 

The Rivingtons. 

Why do I think The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ 

Bird” is the first punk rock record? Well, it 

shares many of punk rock’s characteristics. 

It’s loud. It’s short. It’s aggressive. It’s simple. 

It has attitude. It means nothing and 

everything at the same time. It’s a bit 

angry. It’s fun.

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.

Women’s History - Honoring 

The Past and Casting Forward 

Dear Neighbor, 

As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's imperative 

that we not only reflect on the incredible 

accomplishments of women throughout history 

but also take concrete steps to ensure that 

progress continues. We stand on the shoulders of 

trailblazers who fought tirelessly for women’s 

rights. Our duty as a community is to honor their 

legacy by actively supporting and uplifting 

women today. 

Reflecting on the past year, I am proud to have 

sponsored legislation like SB 93 and co-sponsored 

HB 35, which directly address pressing issues 

facing women in our society. These 

initiatives represent crucial steps toward improving 

maternal health and seeking justice for survivors 

of sexual abuse. However, our work is far 

from over. 

To truly advance the cause of women's rights, we 

must remain vigilant and proactive in our efforts. 

It's not enough to simply acknowledge the 

achievements of women; we must actively work 

to dismantle the barriers that still exist. This 

means advocating for policies that promote gender 

equality, providing support and resources for 

women in all aspects of their lives, and fostering 

a culture that values and respects the contributions 

of women. 

As leaders, we have a responsibility to lead by example 

and create opportunities for women to 

thrive. By championing the advancement of 

women, we not only honor the legacy of those 

who came before us and ensure a brighter future 

for generations to come. 

But supporting women isn't just the responsibility 

of those in positions of power – it's something 

everyone can do. Whether through simple acts of 

encouragement, advocating for equal opportunities, 

or challenging stereotypes and biases, we 

all have a role in creating a more equitable 

society. 

So let us use Women's History Month as a catalyst 

for change – a reminder of our progress and the 

work that still lies ahead. Together, we can build 

a legacy of support and empowerment for 

women that will be remembered for generations. 

Results matter, so let’s work together. Subscribe 

and follow me on social media for updates.

CW paving to begin 

Plus other CW Council news 


Staff Writer 

The arrival of spring has Canal 

Winchester gearing up for street, sidewalk, 

and park improvements across the city. 

During a March 18 Canal Winchester 

City Council work session, Construction 

Services Director Bill Sims said work continues 

on a three-season shelter at McGill 

Park. 

“We anticipate it to be complete by May 

1,” said Sims, who added he anticipates 

physical work to begin on the park’s pickleball 

courts by April 1. 

Bids recently opened on the remainder 

of the High Street and Waterloo Street 

intersection improvement project, which 

includes paver removal, new crosswalks 

and sidewalks. Sims expects to have legislation 

awarding the contract to Decker 

Construction for the first meeting in April. 

Decker was also awarded the 2024 

Street Program project. Initial notices to 

residents on affected streets were recently 

notified. 

“We’re going to be resurfacing Sarwell 

Drive North, Franklin and Elizabeth 

streets, West Columbus Street from High 

Street to Washington and previous parking 

areas will now be permeable pavers. We’re 

going to resurface Clinton Street from 

Columbus Street to Groveport Road as 

well. We’ll be doing curb and gutter repair 

on Old Creek Lane and we have some bike 

path work as well, so the Diley Road bike 

path will be resurfaced and the bike path 

in Westchester Park will be resurfaced.” 

Sims said as part of the street program, 

a small portion of the South High Street 

project at 20 S. High St. will be improved. 

“We need to make that happen pretty 

quick,” said Sims. 

Communications 

Council was updated on their 

Communication Working Group, spearheaded 

by committee representative Will 

Bennett. He said the survey is ready and 

the next step is determining the best way 

to distribute it to the citizens of Canal 

Winchester. 

“We’re looking at postcard mailings. 

We’re looking at doorhangers,”said Bennett. 

“We talked about press releases. We want to 

make sure we are hitting all of the channels, 

digital alerts, but also print materials 

that hit a different demographic. We’ll have 

surveys available at the city office to pick 

up. Then we can synthesize the information 

and areas of opportunity if a shift is needed. 

It’s an opportunity to learn.” 

Anti-prostitution operation 

Fairfield County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. 

Strong reported on a recent anti-prostitution 

operation in the Gender-Waterloo area. 

“A few weeks ago, we set up a John 

sting at a local hotel,” said Strong. “I think 

we nabbed nine arrests in a matter of six 

hours. It’s not going to be tolerated as long 

as we provide police service to the city. We 

are going to set up similar stings in the 

future. Some of the city staff got a bird’s 

eye view of what goes on. I think it was an 

eye opener for some of them.” 

CWJRD and Tomahawks 

Councilwoman Jill Amos, who also sits 

on the Canal Winchester Joint Recreation 

Board said, “The Tomahawks attended the 

school board meeting last week (March 

11)." 

The Tomahawks organization was 

asked to schedule a meeting with district 

representatives and to present a proposal 

to the school board. 

“We received a note the next day saying 

they did not want to pursue football with 

the CWJRD any longer and did not plan to 

run football at all this upcoming season,” 

said Amos. 

The CWJRD plans to host football for 

the 2024 season and is currently seeking 

volunteers to help with the program. (See 

related story on page one of this edition of 

the Messenger.) 

Hometown Heroes 

The city of Canal Winchester, in partnership 

with VFW Post #10523, announced 

the return of the Hometown Hero Banner 

Program, which honors and recognizes military 

personnel who reside in or previously 

resided in the Canal Winchester city limits. 

Canal Winchester Hometown Heroes 

will be honored with commemorative twosided

branch of service, and military photo. 

Banners will be displayed on light poles 

throughout historic downtown beginning 

Memorial Day week and remain on display 

through Veterans Day. Eligible candidates 

must live within Canal Winchester city 

limits or have lived within city limits during 

their time of service. The honoree must

died in the line of duty. Verification of residency 

and military service required. 

The city is accepting applications for the 

2024 banner display. Completed applications

“Damsel” is a mix of 

Cinderella and “Die Hard” 

Once upon a time, the stories in books 

and movies were filled with meek young 

women, usually a princess or royal of some 

sort, trapped in a bad situation. Sad, alone, 

and defenseless, she would sit atop her 

tower and wait for a strapping man to 

come and save her, whisking her off to a 

happily ever after. 

Nowadays, the stories in books and 

movies are filled with subversions to the 

old fairy tale cliché of the damsel in distress. 

Rather than conveying a message 

that one should sit around and wait to be 

saved, they encourage the bright young 

lasses to pick up a sword (literal or 

metaphorical) and fight to control their 

own destiny. Although these stories have 

become something of a cliché in and of 

themselves, it is never a bad thing to be 

reminded that one can use their wit and 

skill to get out of situations they do not 

want to be in. The latest offering of this 

worthy message comes from Netflix and a 

young star who knows something about 

perseverance. 

In the cheekily titled “Damsel,” Millie 

Bobby Brown plays Elodie, the sweet and 

kind elder daughter of Lord Bayford (Ray 

Winstone). She presides over a community 

in which there is not enough to go around; 

the harsh landscape makes the ground less 

fertile and her subjects often struggle to 

find enough food or heat. To try to make up 

for the lack, she scavenges the forest for 

food and lumber to make sure that her 

family and her people do not starve or 

freeze to death. 

Living in such a barren place can make 

one desperate, which is why her father is 

so willing to turn her over to a suitor from 

a faraway land. “They are offering us food 

and riches beyond our dreams,” Lord 

Bayford tells his daughter. Despite her 

reluctance to marry — she wants nothing 

more than to sail the high seas in search of 

a grand adventure — she is willing to do so 

because of her loyalty to her family and to 

her people. 

Elodie is immediately struck by her new 

home; the air is warm and clean, the land 

is fertile and bountiful, and the homes and 

palaces are wrapped in luxury. The only 

thing more impressive is the fact that her 

suitor, Prince Henry (Nick Robinson) is 

close to her age, handsome, and has a full 

head of lush hair. 

The only thing that truly gives Elodie 

and her stepmother pause is the fierce 

Queen Isabelle (Robin Wright) who is regal 

and remote, rebuffing any attempt at 

friendship from either pair. Lady Bayford 

tells Elodie she does not have to go through 

with the marriage, but the young woman 

knows what she must do: wed, start a family, 

and perhaps work toward a happily 

ever after with her handsome but bland 

husband-to-be. 

After the wedding, Elodie is taken to the 

mountainside where a strange ceremony is 

being conducted. The 

guests are all adored 

with masks a la “Eyes 

Wide Shut” and her 

mother-in-law stands 

at the altar with a dagger 

that is to be used to 

mix the blood of the 

newlyweds. Although 

Elodie is unsure and a 

little freaked out at 


The Reel Deal 

Dedra 

Cordle 

Oftentimes while watching 

“Damsel,” I found myself wishing that it 

could have had a traditional theatrical 

release, because the settings are 

filled with enticing details that bolster 

some of the weaknesses of the 

screenplay and story. 

this point, she goes with the flow, trusting 

her husband and new family to do right by 

her. But then Prince Henry sweeps her off 

her feet and casually throws her into a 

chasm where a fire-breathing dragon with 

a big grudge against the royal family of 

Aurea awaits. 

Up until this point, this movie was looking 

more like “Damsel: Cinderella” than 

anything else. But when she is thrown into 

the lair it turns into “Damsel: Die Hard” as 

Elodie tries to escape from the exceptionally 

well-designed dragon, played with great 

menace by the smoky voiced Shohreh 

Aghdashloo. At times, it often has the feel of 

a video game where Elodie faces one obstacle 

after another, making some progress but 

not enough. Brown is on her own for a long 

stretch of time, and she is quite effective at 

alternating fear and determination, using 

wit and skill to try to survive the dragon 

lurking around every dark corner. 

The one major complaint I had about 

this dark fantasy written by Dan Mazeau 

and directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is 

that it does not feel as if there are any 

stakes at play. Although the heroine is 

being stalked and harmed by a dragon, we 

know that no real harm will come to her so 

it lacks that urgency and investment needed 

to sell a fantasy.

because the settings are filled with enticing 

details that bolster some of the weaknesses

and rage-filled take on the traditional fairy 

tale is ultimately worthy of a watch. 

“Damsel” is now streaming on Netflix.
