Green living 

in Grove City 

Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle 

Grove City residents and guests from 

neighboring areas came out by the hundreds 

last weekend to beautify the community 

– and learn a few tips on how to 

keep it cleaner and healthier – through 

two Earth Day events that highlighted 

the importance of protecting and preserving 

the local environment. On the 

morning of April 20, dozens of people 

walked the parks and main thoroughfares 

picking up litter found in the creek 

beds and along the side of the roads as 

a part of the annual Keep Grove City 

Beautiful Cleanup event and later that 

morning dozens more came out to Town 

Center Park to partake in educational 

and enjoyable activities for the entire 

family at EcoFest. Hosted annually by 

the city of Grove City and the Grove City 

Parks and Recreation Department, 

EcoFest had more than two dozen agencies, 

businesses and organizations on 

site to promote greener living and environmental 

education and conservation. 

Among the vendors that were featured at 

the event was RecSchool, a local early 

childhood education program whose 

mission is to nurture children’s self-confidence 

and love of learning through 

play, meaningful classroom experiences 

and a connection to the natural world. 

Here, RecSchool coordinator Michele 

Demmy proudly displays artwork children 

made to commemorate the solar 

eclipse that took place earlier this 

month. 

One of the most popular stations at 

EcoFest was the ‘build-your-own backyard 

bird feeder’ hosted by the Gardens 

at Gantz Park volunteers. Right, Xavier 

Ice, 4, dips a Crisco covered pine cone 

into bird seed to take home.

and became hooked on the game. As months passed, he 

grew in skill and sought new opportunities to compete 

in tournaments. 

He eventually learned of the National Pickleball 

League. McKnight was visited at one of the tournaments 

by his father, Paul McKnight, who had also 

begun playing recreationally. Though this is new territory, 

the pair have a history of investigating potential 

family business opportunities, and began dreaming of 

making something more of their newfound love of pickleball. 

Last year was the first year of the league and the 

McKnights knew it was looking to expand. They were 

ultimately awarded the opportunity for ownership of 

the Columbus Hotshots to enter the league in the coming 

2024 season. Jeff is additionally playing on the 

team and will serve as general manager, something he 

described as a “lifelong dream.” 

“I hope to show people it’s a life-changing sport with 

many social and health benefits at really any age in 

life,” said McKnight. 

The team hopes to gain momentum throughout 

their first season as a respectable ambassador of the 

sport, particularly by Columbus itself. 

“We’d love to be another team in the Columbus 

sports landscape that produces winners and earns 

community support,” said McKnight. 

The Columbus Hotshots are composed of 14 team 

members who will exclusively compete in doubles. 

Seven men and seven women make up the roster. 

NPL teams are filled with the top competing champions 

age professional players from all across the 

nation, many of which make a living from their participation. 

The season’s tournaments will run from May 

through October in various cities, giving a variety of 

crowds the opportunity to attend. 

June 21-23, the NPL comes to Columbus to compete 

at a new indoor facility, Paddle Taps, in Worthington. 

Community members are encouraged to attend and 

Jeff McKnight plays pickleball professionally after 

spending much time at the courts at Windsor Park in

SWCS and OhioHealth partner for work-based program 


OhioHealth, a nationally recognized, 

not-for-profit, healthcare outreach of the 

United Methodist Church, announces a 

new working relationship with South- 

Western City Schools to find the next generation 

of young talent. 

With the new collaboration, OhioHealth 

will work directly with the school district 

through a Work-Based Learning program, 

creating formal critical-roles pathways for 

seniors. The goal is to prepare students for 

roles in nursing, pharmacy, patient service 

associate, medical assistants and more. 

The program has already hired two dozen 

student interns from the district and other 

educational organizations in a Patient 

Support Assistant-intern (PSA-i) role. 

“To continue to be the leader in local 

healthcare, we have to be the leader in 

finding the best and brightest young talent,” 

said Mindy Sanford, OhioHealth 

senior advisor, workforce development 

partnerships and programs. “We believe 

with this collaboration with quality education 

entities, we have tapped into a young 

professional pipeline, with an eye to a long 

healthcare career, and a desire to serve our 

patients and live the OhioHealth mission 

and values that make our organization special.” 

Pre-nursing students will apply, interview, 

and have the potential to be selected 

into the OhioHealth program. In this program, 

pre-nursing students complete their 

state tested nursing assistant certification 

by the end of their junior year. The senior 

year will be half classwork, the other half 

working in their paid PSA-i role. 

In June, OhioHealth and Columbus 

State Community College announced an 

innovative partnership that will double the 

number of professionals trained in five 

healthcare fields, addressing a critical 

need for patient care specialists throughout 

central Ohio. As part of this new collaboration, 

the program will serve as a potential 

feeder program to the larger 

OhioHealth and Columbus State 

Community College partnership. 

“We are thrilled for our South-Western 

Career Academy (SWCA) students to partner 

with OhioHealth on innovative solutions 

to address the health care and workforce 

needs of our community,” said 

Christine Galvin, director of career-technical 

education at South-Western City 

Schools District. “This relationship will 

provide our students with invaluable 

hands-on clinical experiences by allowing 

them to go directly from the classroom to 

the hospital floor. OhioHealth and South- 

Western City Schools have a shared focus 

on fostering the next generation of health 

care professionals for tomorrow’s workforce. 

As we look to double the number of 

graduates from our pre-nursing program 

heading into 2024, this partnership will 

provide SWCA students with affordable, 

accessible, and sustainable career opportunities 

through work-based learning.” 

The goal is to grow this opportunity 

each year and continue to open the pipeline 

of local healthcare talent, while adding jobs

Story of a 

Bill, Part III 

As I wrote in a previous communication with you 

in February, I introduced House Bill 364, a 

measure to allow the noncommercial distribution 

of milkweed seeds to promote monarch butterfly 

population growth, in the Ohio House of 

Representatives. The idea for the bill originated 

with David Donofrio, Grove City resident and vice 

president of the Ohio Prairie Association (OPA). 

As is part of the legislative process, the measure 

was referred to the House Agriculture Committee. 

HB 364 had its first hearing in the Agriculture 

Committee on February 6. As is customary, the 

first hearing was reserved for sponsor testimony, 

which means that the authors of the bill summarize 

it for committee members and answer their 

questions about it. The measure’s second hearing 

took place on Tuesday, April 23. Because no 

opposition to the bill has surfaced, the committee 

chair, Rodney Creech from Preble County, decided 

to schedule both proponent and 

opponent testimony for the same day, which is 

customary when no opposition is anticipated. 

Because a representative of the OPA answered 

questions during the first hearing, the only additional 

proponent testimony submitted for the 

second hearing came from conservation and 

gardening associations. The two written testimonies 

(folks have the option of presenting testimony 

in person or in writing) cited the 

assistance the measure would provide for the 

monarch butterfly population and that their volunteer 

organizations would welcome the opportunity 

to distribute milkweed seeds among their 

members. Rep. Creech cited the dozens of supportive 

emails he had received from folks around 

the state and said that he had heard not one opposing 

comment about the proposal. 

The next step in the process will be a vote by the 

Agriculture Committee in its next meeting, which 

probably will occur in early May. If approved, the 

bill then will proceed to the entire House for its 

consideration. Stay tuned for continued updates 

on the progress of HB364. 

Last week the House acted on a number of bills. 

The most prominent among them was HB 230, a 

measure that increases penalties for fentanyl trafficking, 

requires schools and colleges to incorporate 

instruction and policies on fentanyl 

awareness and abuse prevention, and authorizes 

the collection of oral fluids as evidence in OVI 

cases. The bill has the full support of law enforcement 

and is one method of combating the proliferation 

of this illegal drug that continues to 

make its way across the U.S. southern border.

Ohio House of Representatives, which consists of

Grove City Editor 

Regional transportation plan discussed in Grove City 

According to the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning 

Commission (MORPC), one million new residents are 

expected to call central Ohio home by the year 2050. 

More residents will mean a greater need for public 

transportation. 

“We are expecting growth but not expecting much more 

roadway,” said Kelsey Ellingsen, the local government 

affairs director with COTA, at a recent Grove City Council 

meeting. 

Ellingsen and Elliott Lewis, with MORPC, attended the 

council meeting to engage community stakeholders about 

the funding needed for future growth. 

“Affordability of living in central Ohio is changing,” said 

Ellingsen. “We have seen a 45 percent increase in the cost 

of housing alone since 2020. If we want our neighbors to 

stay our neighbors, we have to think about how we arrest 

the growth and those costs.” 

Ellingsen spoke about LinkUs, central Ohio’s comprehensive 

transportation initiative to help address growth, 

affordability, and opportunity gaps in the community. This 

program will create faster, more reliable public transportation 

through Bus Rapid Transit corridors, as well as 

safer and expanded bicycle and pedestrian paths. 

“If we are going to implement LinkUs, we are going to 

make historic infrastructure investments,” said Ellingsen. 

COTA has already planned to move forward with three 

corridors for the Bus Rapid Transit plan. One will run 

along West Broad Street from the downtown area, through 

the Hilltop, all the way to Prairie Township. The other two 

that have already been determined are East Main Street 

and a northwest corridor. COTA plans to choose two more 

corridors this summer. 

According to COTA, with a Bus Rapid Transit system, 

customers would pay fares before getting on and will no 

longer have to step up into the vehicle. The boarding platform 

will be level with the floor. This level boarding also 

allows riders to roll a bike into the vehicle and stow it in 

an on-board bike rack. Once customers are inside, the 

doors close. Unlike noise pollution created by most vehicles, 

the buses will be electric and easy on the ears. Rapid 

transit vehicles will zip through the region in dedicated 

lanes with traffic signal priority, meaning public transit 

will have priority at intersections. 

Ellingsen said this is part of an overall $8 billion revenue 

plan by 2050. 

COTA is currently funded by a 0.5 percent sales 

tax. The organization will be looking for federal 

grants as well as considering the placement of a 

levy on the ballot in November. Ellingsen said both 

Cleveland and Cincinnati have a sales tax of 1 percent 

for its public transportation system. Columbus 

would like to follow suit. 

There are also plans to expand the COTA Plus 

service, with up to 16 new zones by 2050. 

Grove City was COTA’s pilot partner for this 

program. 

COTA Plus was launched as a pilot program in 

July 2019. The shuttle service provides customers 

on-demand rides via a mobile app. Like other 

rideshare services, COTA Plus transports customers 

from point A to point B. The service is delivered 

by COTA operators using a fleet of branded, 

ADA-accessible vehicles. This provides customers 

with access to jobs, healthcare and more. 

“We love that Grove City brought this concept to 

life with us,” said Ellingsen. 


In addition to the transportation aspect of the initiative, 

Lewis said MORPC is looking at a mobility initiative. He 

said most people cannot walk out their front door to a bus 

stop. They use sidewalks to get to that stop. 

“If there is no sidewalk or it is crumbled, that makes it 

more difficult for people to access public transportation,” 

said Lewis. 

According to Lewis, MORPC will be looking at 500 plus 

miles of safer and expanded bike and pedestrian paths 

throughout its coverage area. The organization is working 

with municipalities to identify local areas of concern.

transportation plan and LinkUs initiative, visit

Farmers’ Market 

to begin on May 11 

The 35th season of the Grove City Farmers’ Market kicks off on 

May 11 in the Historic Town Center of Grove City. 

Kicking off on Mother’s Day weekend, this year’s first Market 

is Mother’s Day at the Market. Numerous special activities will be 

available including a DIY flower bouquet bar, photo ops, food 

trucks, and special one-day-only gift vendors just for Mother’s 

Day. This is all in addition to the various food and locally-made 

product vendors present for the spring market. 

This year’s market will run every Saturday with Sept. 14 being 

the final date for the 2024 season. Availability of produce will be 

determined by the weather and growing season of Ohio, with 

early season produce making an appearance, while summer 

favorites such as sweet corn and various melons will arrive further 

into summer. In total, over 90 vendors will participate at 

some point in this year’s Farmers’ Market. Some vendors may not 

be at the Market every week, but follow along on Facebook to stay 

up with announcements or to ask about your favorite vendors: 

https://www.facebook.com/grovecityfarmersmarket 

Many sponsors and volunteers come together to make 19 

weeks of this year’s Farmers’ Market possible, including presenting 

sponsor Mount Carmel Grove City and farm-to-table sponsor 

Wright-Patt Credit Union. 

The most up-to-date details on vendors and even a market map

Ward Moving and Storage. E.E. Ward served as a donation dropoff 

site (in addition to the Chamber’s own office/garage here on 

Broadway) and additionally contributed the time, labor, and a 

truck for delivering all collected items. 

With just a few days to both promote the donation drive, and 

collect donations, the response was an unknown but hopes were 

high for filling the truck that would head north by the end of the 

week. 

To put it simply, Grove City showed up for Logan County! 

Contributions of all sizes came from all sorts of places as the community 

banded together to take care of another community as if 

they were our own. But we are all Ohioans after all. 

The Chamber would like to extend a big thank you to everyone 

who contributed. It’s so encouraging to see our community come 

together in support of a cause, in this case another Ohio community.

Authorized Provider 

By Sarah Hann 

Caroline Shroyer is no stranger to the 

Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce 

having previously served on the Chamber 

Board, as Board President for a term, and 

as a Chamber Ambassador. 

And, if by chance Caroline is a stranger 

to you, she won’t be one for long if given the 

chance. In our hour-long lunchtime chat I 

felt as if I’d known her for much longer as 

we covered everything from Chamber 

involvement, professional lives and mutual 

acquaintances. 

Caroline’s journey with the GCACC 

began earlier in the 2000s when she found 

herself running the former Grove City Tree 

Service business. With a background in 

real estate (her current career field), running 

a tree and landscape business was a 

whole new ballgame but she wasn’t without 

a game plan or a next step. 

“I just walked right into the Chamber!” 

Caroline recalled of how she first joined 

and got involved with the GCACC by simply 

walking in the front door of the office on 

Broadway. 

Eventually Caroline’s professional side 

of membership pivoted as she re-entered 

real estate in 2015 and then sold Grove 

City Tree Service in 2017. But even as her 

professional life had changes, her commitment 

and involvement with the Chamber 

didn’t change. Caroline served as the 

GCACC’s Board President in 2016. While 

she no longer serves on the board, she can 

still be spotted at events and keeps a pulse 

on what’s happening in the GCACC. 

Real Estate Life 

Since her re-entry to real estate, 

Caroline has built up her own team with 

Keller Williams, The Shroyer Group, and 

works her business full time. With a 

repeat-and-referral mode of business, 

Caroline maintains relationships with her 

past clients; even if they personally may 

never need a realtor again, they’re still 

likely to pass along Caroline’s name. 

Caroline has seen waves of new home 

owners and has had the pleasure of working 

with and guiding them to the home 

that’s the right fit for them. 

“It’s so rewarding when you get to see 

someone get the keys to their first house.” 

In addition to her clients, Caroline takes 

care of and supports her team by coaching 

them to achieve their goals. Coaching her 

team “feeds a need to educate” as she 

works with individuals to meet their next 

goals. As with any goal, accountability is 

key and Caroline is willing to step into the 

role. She’ll reach out to team members to 

check in on their progress toward a recently-stated 

goal. And, to keep herself on 

track, Caroline too has someone she counts 

as her accountability partner when working 

on her own goals and tasks. 

“I like to help people grow,” she said of 

her enjoyment of coaching. 

Giving Back 

Pages could be filled about our conversation 

that covered many corners of giving 

back, from the little-but-big things that 

pull our heartstrings (homeless shelters 


Meet Caroline, community realtor 

Caroline Shroyer 

love candles and wash cloths), to focusing 

online “retail therapy” in support of community 

groups instead of ourselves (buy 

from a non-profit’s wish list instead of your 

300th drink cup or mug). If you’ve already 

read our “Non-Profit Spotlight” piece in 

this issue of Chamber Business 

Connection, then you’ve gotten a taste of 

Caroline’s passion for serving the community 

and spreading that love. 

“The Shroyer Group Gives Back” is the 

name for Caroline’s team’s many community 

outreach initiatives. They’ve partnered 

with groups for winter coat/hat/mitten drives 

and school supplies collections. Just 

about anything to serve the community 

goes, and team members are encouraged to 

find an initiative that excites them and 

jump in to serve. 

While a few community outreach events 

or activities went dormant during the pandemic, 

Caroline is excited each time another 

returns to its pre- 2020 version. 

Organizations that rely on in-person volunteers 

are back to operating ‘like normal’ 

but likely need more volunteers than 

before due to increased need. 

Her team, her clients, and her community 

all benefit from Caroline’s energy and 

passion for the many ways she serves others. 

From leading the Chamber board, to 

maintaining client connections, and organizing 

community efforts, she clearly doesn’t 

do something ‘halfway’. 

“If I’m in, I’m all the way in!” 

3 Tips for Newer 

Members/Businesses 

We asked Caroline for three things 

she’d tell the newest Chamber members, 

what she’d say to someone who just walked 

right into the office as she did years ago. 

Here’s her three: 

1) Know your target customer–who is 

going to buy your product or use your service? 

Determine this then target your marketing 

efforts toward them. 

2) “Don’t think an idea is too out of the 

box.” Think outside the box, but then act on 

those outside-the-box ideas instead of casting 

them aside or writing them off. 

3) Get involved with the community! 

Get involved with the Chamber and leverage 

and make use of every opportunity. 

“That was a good move on my part.”


GC Chamber Foundation 

awards spring scholarships 

The Grove City Chamber Foundation 

awarded its spring round of scholarships 

in late April, with scholarships going to 

high school seniors in the class of 2024, 

and various students affiliated with the 

Chamber. 

At the award reception, $17,000 was 

awarded to 33 students. To date, this 

brings the total the Foundation has awarded 

since its founding in 2012 to $187,000 

and 303 recipients. 

Eligible high school students are graduating 

seniors who currently attend/will 

graduate this spring from a school in the 

South-Western City School Attendance 

area (public or private), or will graduate 

from a school outside the attendance area 

but reside in Grove City. 

Eligible affiliate students fit one of the 

following descriptions: are a current 

employee of a Chamber member 

business/organization, are an existing 

individual Chamber member, or are an 

immediate family member of such an 

employee or individual member. This type 

of scholarship has become popular for 

employees of Chamber member businesses/organizations 

to pay for technical certificate 

training, to finish a bachelor’s 

degree, or pursue a master’s degree. 

The Foundation would like to recognize 

and thank the many sponsors who make 

awarding these scholarships possible, 

including those who have chosen to support 

the Foundation with a named scholarship 

either for their business or to carry on 

the memory and legacy of a loved one. 

The Foundation is pleased to congratulate 

the following students who were 

awarded the following scholarships at the

Caring and teaching Grove City’s next generation 

Meet Kiddie Academy, one of the many 

businesses who now call Grove City home, 

or one of their homes. While Kiddie 

Academy has locations across the US (and 

in Hawaii!), each location is unique to its 

town. We met up with some of the team 

behind Kiddie Academy, who have expansive 

experience in education, childcare, and 

even Kiddie Academy itself. 

The business 

Brand new to Grove City (right down to 

the building), Kiddie Academy on Buckeye 

Parkway opened its doors for children in 

late January, and in mid-March celebrated 

their new business. 

Mahmudur Rahman, along with his 

wife, bring ample business and Kiddie 

Academy experience to Grove City’s location. 

The couple began their Kiddie 

Academy owner/operator journey 16 years 

ago in establishing the Lewis Center location, 

the first in the Midwest. 

Mahmudur told us at that time he and 

his wife were looking to change careers 

from engineering and education respectively, 

and jumping into business would be 

their next move. In determining what kind 

of business they would open or operate, 

they remembered Kiddie Academy from 

their days of living and working in New 

York. With the franchise model, they could 

open a location of a business they were 

familiar with and bring it to a new part of 

the country. 

Owner Wahida Sultana is newer to this 

role in business but is certainly no stranger 

to the care and nurturing of children as 

education has essentially been her life’s 

work. She’s taught in public schools and 

began her career in education teaching preschool. 

Wahida is soaking in this new 

avenue of education as she continues to 

connect with families and children, with a 

smile she says she only misses ‘the breaks’ 

from the public school system. 

Teachers don’t go forgotten at Kiddie 

Academy between the support from location 

leadership, to the parents and children. 

Mahmudur discussed how teachers 

with Kiddie Academy will receive training 

specific to their curriculum to aid them in 

carrying out their daily work. He noted it 

can be challenging to hire and retain teachers, 

making it important to make sure 

teachers have what they need and feel 

appreciated. 

“Make sure each one is happy,” he said 

of ensuring teachers, and parents, are satisfied 

with Kiddie Academy. 

As Mahmudur mentioned and then 

Wahida showed us, bulletin boards allow 

space for sharing teacher recognition submitted 

by parents. Some may come in the 

form of an email or message sent from the 

parent, other times it might be a note of a 

compliment a parent provided in person or 

over the phone. 

Kiddie Academy Grove City continues to 

hire as it continues to grow in numbers as 

word gets around of the care and education 

they provide. Mahmudur estimates they’ll 

have created 25-30 jobs once they are closer 

to or at capacity for children, which is 

just over 150. 

The education & childcare experience 

Kiddie Academy has its own developmentally-appropriate 

curriculum for the 

varying age groups of children they serve 

(as young as six weeks and as old as age 12 

for after school care). With plenty of handson 

learning, children will grow in independence, 

develop and fine-tune motor skills, 

and grow in experience with the other children. 

Assorted enrichment classes are avail-

able that focus in on specific areas such as 

art or music. Specialty days are also available, 

such as the recent STEM event. 

Kiddie Academy’s team all looks forward to 

warmer weather where special guests can 

visit and learning expand into the community. 

Kiddie Academy makes use of technology 

available and utilizes the Tadpole app. 

This app serves as another connection 

between teachers and parents, allowing 

teachers to share updates and other notifications. 

During our visit, the parents who 

came still engaged in good, old-fashioned 

face-to-face conversation with their child’s 

teacher and even Wahida herself. 

Health and safety are paramount at 

Kiddie Academy. Teachers and staff are up 

to date on health policies and trainings, 

and the buildings and outdoor grounds feature 

assorted safety features. Features 

range from ‘buzzing in’ to visit, how to 

access the play area, and even safe surfaces 

and structures of play equipment. 

Blending health with child development 

is meal time. Kiddie Academy includes two 

snacks and lunch. But, it’s not just “what” 

children eat, but also “how”. Mahmudur 

and Wahida shared that children ages 

three and up will dine family style with 

their peers. This allows children to learn 

how to serve themselves, make food choices, 

and is ample opportunity to work on 

table manners. 

From the dining table, to the classroom 

space, to the playground, children enrolled 

in the future, and the children already in 

attendance at Grove City’s Kiddie Academy 

foster new friendships and building life 

skills that will serve them well for their elementary 

school years and beyond. We 

closed out our visit and chat with Wahida 

out on the playground as a pre-school aged 

group enjoyed the surprise March sunshine. 

As it was time for one child to head 

home, the group all exchanged goodbyes 

and their eagerness to play again another 

day. 

And then the departing youngster called 

back “Bye friends!” displaying the skills 

and friendships developed at Kiddie 

Academy in just two words.

The Housing Report 

Is Out 

As Chair of the Senate Select Committee on 

Housing, I am pleased to announce the release of 

our official Housing Report. As of April 17, the 

digital copy of our comprehensive 94-page 

report is now available for download on the 

Senate's website in PDF format under the meetings 

tab. 

The Senate Select Committee on Housing (SSCH) 

was commissioned by Sen. President Matt Huffman 

to address Ohio's housing challenges. Since 

its inception in August 2023, the SSCH has 

conducted extensive research, including 12 livestreamed 

meetings across Ohio, hearing over 35 

hours of testimony from more than 200 

witnesses. Through this process, we gained 

valuable insights into Ohio's housing landscape 

and the challenges it faces. 

The report represents the voices of Ohioans 

statewide and offers a framework for future 

housing policy discussions. It highlights the 

complexity of Ohio's housing challenges, ranging 

from economic, social and policy factors and how 

it impacts both urban and rural areas and the 

need for affordable housing solutions across the 

state. Our recommendations, outlined in the 

report, emphasize a multifaceted approach to 

address Ohio's housing challenges. 

These include strategies to increase the supply of 

available, affordable and accessible homes. Moreover, 

the report underscores the importance of 

bipartisan collaboration, recognizing that housing 

affordability is a humanitarian issue that transcends 

political divides. I extend my gratitude to 

all who contributed to this endeavor, including 

fellow Senators, legislative aides, witnesses, 

stakeholders, and constituents. 

The report's executive summary and recommendations 

are available starting on page 84, highlighting 

key initiatives such as the Ohio Housing 

Dashboard, Ohio Housing Toolkit, Third Party 

Reviewer Services, Ohio Housing Accelerator, 

Ohio YIMBY Campaign, and Ohio Housing Capacity 

Building Grant Fund. 

Results Matter, so be sure to read the recommendations 

in the report. Stay connected to my office by

“e Greatest Hits,” an ode to the power of music 

I say this knowing I will sound like a 

flower child who just got back from a weeklong 

festival out in the desert, but I believe 

that music is one of the closest things we 

have to magic in this world. Just think 

about it for a minute. How many times 

have you heard a specific lyric, note, or 

song and were immediately transported 

back into a particular period — or a moment 

— in your life? For better or worse, music 

has the ability to unlock a part of our brain 

and allow us to relive that day and experience 

the emotions as if it were happening 

all over again. 

In the new romantic fantasy film, “The 

Greatest Hits,” writer and director Ned 

Benson takes the occasionally wistful 

music-induced jump into the past and 

treats it literally, creating a world in which 

the lead character can travel back in time 

to see their recently deceased partner at 

the drop of a needle on a vinyl record. It is 

a premise that admittedly sounds rather 

corny but the movie mostly works because 

it is an earnest exploration of grief, love, 

and our efforts to move on after heartbreak. 

The film begins with a vivid montage of 

long-time partners Harriet (Lucy Boynton) 

and her boyfriend Max (David Corenswet) 

that captures their most blissful moments 

together. We see them frolicking on the 

beach with their sweet and scruffy dog, 

playing card games when inclement weather 

keeps them inside, spending lazy days 

snuggled up on the couch or in bed, and 

attending numerous concerts together 

because they share a love of music. This 

idyllic sequence is swiftly interrupted by 

the muffled sound of crunching metal and 

then it transitions into a blank-faced 

Harriet curled up on the couch alone in a 

dimly lit apartment, staring at a bulletin 

board with dozens of pictures of her and 

Max together in happier times, the time 

when he was alive. 

Upon closer examination of the material 

in the room, we see there is something different 

about the bulletin board and the 

dimly lit apartment. Scattered across the 

floor are dozens of crates of vinyl records 

marked ‘tested’ and ‘untested’ and pinned 

across the bulletin board are strings and 

sticky-notes full of scribbles. It looks like 

something a conspiracy theorist would 

have when trying to link ideas together, 

but we soon discover the reason for her 

apparent descent into madness. 

During the car accident that took Max’s 

life, Harriet was injured and spent six days 

in a coma. The traumatic brain injury she 

sustained somehow rewired her synapses 

and she can now travel back in time to 

relive moments of her relationship with 

Max — but only when she hears the specific 

lyrics, notes, or songs that are attached to 

In Entertainment 

those memories. Sounds romantic, right? 

Well, not so much. 

In the two years since Max died and 

Harriet gained the ability to time travel, 

she has become both obsessive and reclusive. 

In addition to constantly playing the 

records that will allow her to dip into the 

past, she has become obsessed with the 

theory that there are songs out there that 

could change his fate. At the same time, 

she is terrified to venture outside of her 

apartment because hearing a specific lyric, 

note or song could propel her into the past 

and cause her harm in the present. 

Since she knows her life has become 

extremely unhealthy — a fact that her best 

friend Morris (Austin Crute) repeatedly 

points out to her — she has started to attend 

grief support meetings to try to come to 

terms with her sorrow and the guilt associated 

with her inability to alter Max’s 

death. While there, she meets a kind and 

sweet man named David (Justin H. Min) 

who tries to help her see that life can be 

good again even with all the heartbreak 

and tragedies. Although we know that the 

budding relationship between Harriet and 

David is doomed from the start, Boynton 

and Min have such great chemistry together 

that it makes this romantic dramedy 

even more bittersweet. 

As with most other time traveling 

movies, there are a few inconsistencies 

The Reel Deal 

Dedra Cordle 

with the rules but 

“The Greatest Hits” 

does manage to provide 

simple explanations 

of the mechanisms 

and how conceivably 

Harriet 

could save Max’s 

life. Some have argued that the continued 

attempts to alter the past goes against the 

overarching message of grief being temporary 

but I found that it fits into the mindset 

of the lead character. 

“The Greatest Hits” is only streaming on 

Hulu as of right now — occasionally physical 

copies of original films on streaming 

platforms will end up in the library system 

— but if you ever get the opportunity to 

watch this movie, please do. It has a unique 

premise, charming and effective performances 

and is a serene love letter to our 

brain’s relationship with music.

smooth coat fox terrier 

mix. He enjoys 

playing in the yard 

and riding shotgun in 

the car. He is always 

up for an adventure. 

His favorite toy is a 

lamb that he takes to 

bed with him. Ace is 

housebroken and likes other dogs, however, 

he does chase cats who won’t stand up to 

him. He is up for adoption through Colony 

Cats and Dogs. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Bullet is a 7-yearold, 

130-pound black 

lab mix (aka Big 

Bertha). She enjoys 

sunbathing in the 

yard and riding in the 

car. She prefers to sit 

on the sofa with her 

humans and will stare 

at you until you make 

room for her. This 

gentle giant is housebroken and likes other 

dogs. Bullet and Ace were surrendered 

together by their owner who became homeless 

when his wife passed away. They can be 

adopted together or separate. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 

Tiger Boy (Tigger), 2 

years old, is a very 

sweet, fun loving, 

playful, and goofy cat. 

He may lose his balance 

at times but that 

doesn’t slow him 

down. He has been 

around other cats and 

dogs so he is very 

social. He always 

wants your attention 

and is ready to give 

love. Adopt Tiger Boy from Friends for Life 

Animal Haven. 

FYI: fflah.org 

Mila has a playful 

spirit, good manners 

and a soft spot for 

children. She is gentle, 

patient and always 

ready to join in the 

fun. Mila’s eyes light 

up at the mere hint of 

a tennis ball, and her 

readiness to play is 

guaranteed to turn 

any ordinary day into an adventure. Mila has 

matched well with calm, confident dogs. Stop 

by the Franklin County Adoption Center to 

meet Mila.
