New CW library update 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Members of the Columbus Metropolitan 

Library system updated Canal Winchester 

City Council on their capital improvement 

plan, which includes a new stand-alone 

library building along Groveport Road in 

Canal Winchester. 

“We’ve been involved in an extensive 

capital improvement plan over the last 

dozen or so years,” said Library CEO 

Patrick Lewinsky. “We’ve built 14 new or 

remodeled libraries over that time period. 

We’re very excited to bring a new library 

(still in the design phase) to your dynamic 

and growing community.” 

In 2022, when asked why CML decided 

to build a new Canal Winchester library 

branch instead of keeping its existing 

branch in the school district education center, 

CML Communications Specialist Ben 

Zenitsky said CML had not previously 

offered service in Canal Winchester when 

the branch opened in 2016. 

“We’ve been keeping a very close eye on 

the branch since then in order to gauge 

community usage and demand,” Zenitsky. 

“It’s clear that this community loves its 

“It’s clear that this community loves its 

library.”

library and we want to make sure we’re 

meeting that demand and reinvesting in its 

residents with a 21st century library.” 

“Public libraries of the 21st century are 

more than just homes for books,” said 

Zenitsky. “They are community gathering 

spaces. As Canal Winchester evolves, residents 

need their library to evolve with it. 

That’s why a new, larger branch will 

include meeting rooms, small study rooms, 

and more spaces to collaborate.” 

Once the new Canal Winchester library 

branch is constructed, it will be the second 

Columbus Metropolitan Library branch in 

the Canal Winchester — Groveport — 

Madison Township area. The other is the 

Southeast Branch located at 3980 South 

Hamilton Road, Groveport. 

“Our Southeast Branch remains one of 

our busiest branches,” said Zenitsky. “I’m 

unsure how a larger Canal Winchester 

branch would impact it, if at all.”

Season’s Greetings 

and Great News for Ohio! 

I am thrilled to report that my first year as your State 

Senator has tremendous momentum. We are closing 

this year in the right direction. One of our many wins 

that I am most proud of is the record tax cuts for Ohio 

families and businesses passed in the $86.1 billion operating 

budget, providing record spending on public 

education, and expanded school options for Ohio 

families. 

I advocated for funding to invest in social services, education, 

health care, housing, and food security that will 

positively impact mothers and babies, immigrant communities, 

children, and African-American male wellness. 

I am also pleased to express my appreciation for Senate 

President Huffman, for entrusting me to lead Ohio’s first 

housing committee. With my background in real estate, 

I made it my priority to lead a committee with a mission 

to gain a deeper understanding of the Affordable Housing 

Crisis in Ohio, and the role the legislature can play 

in being part of the solution. 

This year has many great highlights, including the first 

annual Job Expo my office hosted at the 

statehouse, connecting Ohioans with career resources 

and opportunities. 

I wish you and your families a happy holiday season. We 

still have a long way to go but are on the right path. I 

started the beginning of this year with my legislative 

priorities. Continue to hold me accountable as I persevere 

with championing my commitment to Senate 

District 3. 

My priorities for you and your family are as follows: 

● Strengthening Ohio’s workforce 

● Creating affordable housing solutions 

● Improving Ohio’s K-12 education system 

● Expanding economic opportunities for all Ohioans 

● Improving public safety, criminal justice reform and 

access to justice 

● Protecting religious freedom and expression 

● Improving mental health and wellbeing 

Results matter, so let’s work together. Subscribe and 

follow me on social media for updates

WHAT IS GUM DISEASE? 

Most people don’t realize how 

common periodontal disease (also 

known as gum disease) is. Three 

out of every four adults have some 

form of the disease. In its early 

reversible stage, called gingivitis, 

gums can become red, swollen and 

bleed easily. When the disease 

progresses to the bone, which 

supports the teeth, it is called 

periodontitis. At this point it can 

cause irreversible damage. In the 

advanced stages of the disease, the 

bone and soft tissues which 

support the teeth are destroyed 

and this may cause the teeth to 

become loose, fall out, or have to 

be removed by a dentist. 

Dr. Kelly 

Except in rare cases, gum disease 

can be prevented by thorough 

daily plaque removal by brushing 

and flossing, eating a balanced diet 

and by regularly visiting your 

dentist for professional cleanings. 

When plaque is not removed, it 

hardens into a rough porous 

deposit called tartar. Tartar is what 

causes most of the eventual 

damage and can only be removed 

by a dental professional. 

Prepared as a public service 

to promote better dental health.

A rezoning ordinance found approval at the Dec. 18 Canal 

Winchester City Council meeting. 

Council was asked to amend the city zoning map allowing 

Weiser Development Company to have the property rezoned from 

exceptional use to limited manufacturing. 

“The existing and planned use is well within the limited manufacturing 

zoning,” said attorney and applicant representative 

Richard Ricketts. “This is a property that can be developed well 

for these types of uses. This is going to be the entranceway that I 

think we’re all going to want to see done nicely. There is substantial 

interest in this property.” 

According to the amendment, the 48-plus acre property previously 

had similar zoning when it was located in Violet Township. 

Currently, the property is used as a farm field. 

Located at the corner of Basil Western and Hill Roads, roadway 

improvements would be necessary and the applicant is working 

with the Fairfield County Engineer’s office and the Fairfield 

County Transportation Improvement District on proposed 

improvements. 

Properties to the north (large lot, single-family homes) and 

south (limited manufacturing) are located in Violet Township. 

Properties to the east (in Canal Winchester and Violet Township) 

contain agricultural fields and to the west are in Canal 

Winchester and zoned Planned Industrial District. 

Proposed plans include a roundabout at the Kings Crossing and 

Hill Road intersection and widening Basil Western Road to three 

lanes to accommodate traffic from industrial businesses that are 

currently under construction and planned in the corridor. 

Canal Winchester staff and at the planning and zoning commission 

meeting on Nov. 13 recommended the council approve the 

request. 

According to staff, the site has long been planned for industrial 

development and several Violet Township projects within the 

Basil Western corridor are compatible with the proposed zoning. 

“The Weisers have been involved with this property for several 

years,” said Ricketts.

Getting guns off the streets 

December 24, 2023 - SOUTH & CANAL WINCHESTER MESSENGER - PAGE 3 


Staff Writer 

A year-long accumulation of guns confiscated 

from drivers or passengers suspected 

of drug or alcohol use kept Madison 

Township Police officers on their toes and 

the community safe in 2023. 

Most of the firearms were confiscated 

north of U.S. Route 33, in Blacklick 

Estates and other areas surrounding the 

township’s jurisdiction. 

“This is a very high number of firearmrelated 

incidents that our officers are dealing 

with on the streets today,” said 

Madison Township Police Commander 

Victor Boyd. “Due to our officers’ years of 

experience, training and diligence, they 

were able to remove these firearms from 

individuals that were intoxicated and operating 

motor vehicles on the streets of 

Madison Township.” 

Officers stopped vehicles due to probable 

cause. It is illegal to have in one’s possession, 

whether on the body or transporting 

in a motor vehicle, a firearm while 

intoxicated. 

According to Boyd, the first thing an 

officer is trained to do when a gun is 

observed during a traffic stop is to loudly 

instruct the driver and passenger to put 

their hands in a visible position, before 

alerting dispatch of the situation. 

Other officers are notified about the situation 

and provide assistance. The driver 

and any passengers are then asked to step 

out of the vehicle and handcuffed and the 

vehicle is searched. The firearm is secured 

by the officer and ownership is determined. 

“The person will be told they are under 

arrest, Mirandized, and then transported 

back to our department for processing,” 

said Boyd. “Once all the paperwork is complete, 

then the suspect is transported to 

the Franklin County jail.” 

After a gun is confiscated by Madison 

Township officers, it is checked to ensure it 

is not loaded, is safe to handle, and all 

information about the gun collected to 

determine if it is stolen. It is then photographed 

and placed in a secure property 

room until the court case is finished. 

“After this process, it is up to the prosecution 

and judges to determine if the 

defendant is allowed to have the firearm 

returned to them or if the firearm will be 

destroyed,” said Boyd. 

The operator or passengers in a vehicle 

can have a loaded firearm in a vehicle if 

they are not under the influence of alcohol 

or drugs and follow gun laws established 

by the state. 

A business owner can restrict employees 

from carrying a firearm while at work, but 

they cannot restrict an employee from having 

a firearm in their personal vehicle as 

long as they follow state laws. 

Madison Township laws for carrying a 

firearm either openly or concealed are the 

same as the State of Ohio. 

“The continual professionalism and 

efforts that our officers put forth each day 

Messenger photo by Linda Dillman 

Madison Township Police Commander 

Victor Boyd displays more than two 

dozen firearms confiscated by the 

department since the beginning of 2023. 

to serve the citizens of Madison Township 

are very evident in the number of arrests 

and prosecutions that happen due to the 

officer’s efforts,” said Boyd. “I also think 

the positive atmosphere that has developed 

within our department in the last 

couple of years is largely due to the hiring 

practices that we have adopted. We have 

been very fortunate to find and hire those 

officers that are truly driven and motivated 

each day to go out and perform the work 

they were hired to do.” 

MTPD officer honored 

The Ohio Chapter of Mothers Against 

Drunk Driving 

awarded Madison 

Township Police Officer 

Jonathon Todhunter 

its “Top Cop” 

Award for his efforts 

in removing impaired 

drivers from the 

roads. Todhunter 

joined the MTPD in 

2023 and charged 

five motorists with 

driving under the 

TODHUNTER 

influence in his first month patrolling solo. 

Todhunter has removed 35 impaired drivers 

from township roadways. 

“We are proud to have Officer 

Todhunter among our ranks,” said 

Madison Township Police Chief Gary York. 

“His skills and passion for enforcing sober 

driving saves countless lives.”

Trip to Europe creates many Christmas memories 

I love making lists on paper. It makes 

me feel productive when I go shopping and 

end with a page full of crossed out items or 

a lengthy to-do list that is empty by the end 

of the day. 

There is one list of mine that is short, 

very short, with only five items–my personal 

bucket list with sights I want to see 

and places I want to go, including the 

Valley of the Kings and pyramids in Egypt, 

a sunrise on Machu Pichu in Peru, Petra in 

Jordan, the Sistine Chapel, and a 

Christmas market in Austria. 

This year, 2023, I finally drew a line 

through two of them–the Sistine Chapel 

and a Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market) 

in Vienna–after years of saving and a 

COVID hiatus. My husband and I finally 

took our “trip of a lifetime” in November by 

visiting Rome, Venice, Zurich, and Austria. 

I have a personal connection with the 

city of Mozart, Schubert, and Haydn. My 

mother hails from Wien and my cousins 

still live there. When they asked where I 

wanted to go, and remembering my bucket 

list, the first three words out of my mouth 

were “a Christmas market.” 

I’ve dreamed of seeing one in person 

For your Medicare business! 

I loved meeting new clients and visiting 

with my existing clients...you deserve

benefits for the coming year! I live in

Wishing you a Happy & Healthy New Year!

after watching PBS and travel channel specials 

on European holiday markets. 

Columbus tried one many years ago on the 

grounds of city hall on West Broad Street. 

It was wonderful and much like its foreign 

counterparts with quaint huts and talented 

vendors, but was not well attended. 

I wanted to wander among small stands 

decked out in lights and holiday cheer that 

offered handmade ornaments, gingerbread 

hearts bidding Frohe Weihnachten (Merry 

Christmas), carved wooden pyramids powered 

by candles and more. 

My simple request was filled eight times 

over with a visit to Vienna’s main 

Christkindlmarkt at the foot of city government–the 

Rathaus–along with five smaller 

district markets along the way, another 

on the grounds of the Schonbrunn Palace 

and the last, and best, one at Schloss Hoff 

(a baroque era estate outside of Vienna). 

I had no idea there was more than one 

Christmas market in Vienna. 

The city is divided into districts and 

each one sponsors their own version of the 

holiday tradition, which started in 1296. At 

any one time there are more than a dozen , 

often within walking distance of each 

other, from mid-November to Christmas. 

They all are charming and depending on 

the location, offer many different artisancrafted 

items such as handmade clothing, 

colorful ceramics, jewelry, toys, pastries, 

and smoked meats hanging on poles alongside 

cheeses. 

You can walk along a street decorated 

overhead with lighted chandeliers and 

shops in existence before America was settled 

and, without warning, come upon 

another holiday market. However, there is 

no mistaking the city hall market with its 

inviting archway, double-decker carousel, 

skating rink, and lines of stands weaving 

their way throughout the area. 

It is not called the Viennese Dream 

Christmas Market for nothing! 

We were fortunate that our stay in 

Austria afforded us the opportunity to visit 

Places 

Linda 

Dillman 

the Schloss Hoff 

Christmas Market 

near the border of 

Slovakia. Held only 

one weekend a year, 

which coincided with 

our trip, it was a perfect 

opportunity to 

see the historical 

estate decked out for 

the holidays with 

eighty vendors scattered 

throughout 

buildings and 

grounds. 

Where horses and 

carriages were once 

housed in transporting 

princes and princesses, tables now displayed 

beautiful bowls, glittering glass 

ornaments and tiny carved berries soaked 

in fragrances of the season. 

A brass band played songs of the season 

while a bicycle-riding, human-powered 

merry-go-round of vintage bicycles and 

benches entertained little ones. Since it 

was mid-November and there was a chill in 

the air, an outside stand offered hot gluhwein, 

a spicy heated wine enjoyed throughout 

Germany and Austria during the ski 

season. Bar tables in the form of animal 

and tree forms helped visitors like us enjoy 

their gluhwein and a vast assortment of 

sweet and savory regional delicacies. 

The opportunity to cross off one of my 

bucket list goals went so far beyond my 

expectations, I now have layers upon layers 

of memories (and photos, lots and lots of 

photos) to revisit in the years to come. 

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope the 

memories that you make this holiday season 

are ones that you, too, can happily 

revisit in years to come.

2023: 

The Year 

in Review 

What a whirlwind! My first eleven months in the 

Ohio Legislature have been full of adventure, excitement, 

learning, and—best of all—accomplishment. 

Twenty-nine budget amendments I sponsored or 

co-sponsored made it into the $86.2 billion 2024-25 

State Biennium Budget signed by Governor 

DeWine—more by far than any other freshman legislator. 

The budget included record allocations for 

our public schools while also returning an unprecedented 

$3 billion to taxpayers. In addition, legislation 

I joint-sponsored to reorganize the Ohio 

Department of Education into the Department of 

Education and Workforce passed the Legislature 

and has been enacted into law. It reassigns responsibilities 

from the dysfunctional State Board of Education 

and holds accountable to the governor the 

state’s education bureaucracy. I’m finishing the year 

with 100% voting and attendance records at both 

session and committee meetings. 

The 80-acre Westland Shopping Center is now 

being demolished, making way for a proposed office/residential/entertainment 

mixed-use development. 

The Hollywood Casino has conducted the 

groundbreaking for a new 180-bed, seven-story 

hotel on its premises. In Grove City, Forge Biologics, 

American Nitrile, and Tosoh, among others, all are 

expanding their company operations. The Columbus 

Partnership, Central Ohio’s economic development 

organization, has selected our district as the 

first for which it is compiling an inventory of available 

commercial properties and buildings for additional 

corporate expansion or relocation. We have 

begun to accomplish our agenda of economic 

growth, more and better jobs, and quality K12 education—both 

for Ohio and for the communities in 

our district! 

The work continues. The capital budget will be the 

first task we’ll tackle in 2024, allocating state funding 

to community building projects. We’ll tackle 

legislation on a variety of topics vital to us throughout 

the year. 

It is an awesome responsibility with which I am entrusted. 

It is a privilege to serve in this capacity and 

to be in a position to make a difference. I will continue 

to do my best to represent our community in 

a responsive and effective manner and to advocate 

for all of us in the Ohio House of Representatives. I 

invite you to reach out anytime to me about a concern, 

question, point of view, or request. 

Merry Christmas and the absolute best for you and 

those you love in 2024!

After multiple surveys completed by 

Hamilton Township High School’s senior 

class, this school year’s graduation commencement 

ceremony for the Class of 2024 

will be held at World Harvest Church 

located at 4595 Gender Road in Canal 

Winchester. 

The graduation ceremony will be held 

May 21 at 7 p.m.

change is to eliminate the stress and 

uncertainty caused by weather-related 

reschedules. By moving the event indoors 

the ceremony can be held rain or shine. 

Holding the commencement at World 

Harvest Church provides time for families 

to plan, make necessary arrangements, 

and ensure that no one misses this significant 

event in the lives of our graduates. 

Hamilton Local Schools held graduation 

ceremonies at World Harvest prior to the

Hamilton Schools drivers’ education program 

As of Dec. 11, 2023, Hamilton Township Schools will partner 

with the MOV ESC Driving School to provide driver education to 

Hamilton Township students. 

This will be a comprehensive and hands-on drivers’ education 

program designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge 

needed to hit the road safely. 

Led by in-house, certified driving instructors, the program will 

cover everything from basic road rules to advanced maneuvering 

techniques. 

Students will have the opportunity to clock in essential driving 

hours, gaining valuable real-world experience in a supportive and 

controlled environment. 

According to district officials, not only does the program emphasize 

the importance of road safety, but it also aligns with Hamilton 

Township Schools’ commitment to provide a well-rounded education 

that prepares students for life beyond the classroom. 

Hamilton Township Superintendent Tyler said, “We’re thrilled 

to offer this drivers’ education program to our students. It’s an 

important step in fostering responsible and confident young drivers 

who will contribute to a safer community. This initiative aligns 

with our district mission; Every Ranger, Every Reason, Every 

Day.” 

“Upon recognizing the availability of this licensing program 

and its potential impact on our students, we engaged in discussions 

with Superintendent Tyler to explore the possibility of offering 

this program,” said Hamilton Township Board of Education 

member Amber Clark. “Through these conversations, it became 

evident that implementing a comprehensive drivers’ education 

program aligns seamlessly with our 3E’s initiative as well.” 

School board president Wally Obert and Clark both spoke about 

how the program will remove barriers for students, particularly in 

the realm of driving, thereby enabling them to thrive in various 

aspects of their educational journey.

Hamilton Township Schools will partner with the MOV ESC 

Driving School to provide driver education to Hamilton 

Township students. 

The integration of this program will contribute to the success of 

our Career-Based Intervention efforts, facilitate students’ ability 

to travel to earn college credits through our CCP program, secure 

internships, and gain valuable work experience. 

“We believe that by offering a program like this, we are not only 

addressing a critical need but also equipping our students with 

essential life skills that extend beyond the classroom” said Obert. 

District officials are still working out the details, but it is likely 

there will be financial assistance available to those who qualify.

Madison could get sidewalk grant 


Staff Writer 

A grant helping communities and 

schools install new sidewalks and repair 

existing ones could be the answer in 

improving pedestrian walkways in 

Madison Township. 

During the Dec. 12 Madison Township 

trustee meeting, Administrator Susan 

Brobst said Community Development 

Block Grants are available with the 

Franklin County Engineer overseeing the 

application process. 

Sidewalk repairs are done in zones, with 

schools as a priority, and accomplished in a 

multi-phase/year repair program. The 

application can be submitted at no cost to 

the township or Groveport Madison 

Schools. 

In addition to school sidewalks, the 

block grant also offers funding to construct 

sidewalks in existing neighborhoods that 

meet requirements. 

“The county engineer believes the 

Wingate, Walburn, and Trenton area 

would qualify for such a grant,” said 

Brobst. “If awarded, the township would be 

responsible for the cost of the design. The 

grant would pay for the bid process and 

construction of the sidewalks. Staff recommended 

the trustees submit a request to 

the county engineer to determine the scope 

and fee cost for the design.” 

Once information from the engineer’s 

office is received, the trustees will determine 

the next step in the process. 

Other Madison Township news 

•Fire Station 183 will be paid off in 

2024, which is two years earlier than projected, 

and the fire department plans to 

order a new medic next year, but it will 

take at least three years before the township 

takes delivery of the vehicle. 

•Both the fire and police departments 

are implementing a mental health check-in 

for their personnel with certified counselors 

and contract negotiations for the 

police department begin in early 2024. 

“A certified counselor will meet individually 

with each employee so they can get to 

know each other on a casual basis,” said 

Brobst. “That way if we ever have a critical 

incident and the counselor is brought in to 

debrief an employee, they’ll already know 

each other. Truro Township and others are 

already doing this and it’s a good idea to be 

more proactive with mental health.” 

•The police department is hiring an 

additional officer, which brings the number 

of sworn personnel to 22 officers. 

•The trustees accepted a $26,591 award 

for the fire and public works departments 

for a Bureau of Worker’s Compensation 

Safety Grant. Public Works is acquiring a 

hydraulic piece of equipment and the fire 

department is completing an equipment 

package for the engine at Station 183.

This not your typical 

holiday horror-comedy 

Director Magnus Martens and screenwriter 

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown have 

laid out a few simple rules to survive in 

their new holiday creature feature, 

“There’s Something in the Barn.” 

•Rule number one: Do not upset the 

creatures in the barn with bright lights. 

•Rule number two: Do not upset the 

creatures in the barn with loud noises. 

•Rule number three: Do not upset the 

creatures in the barn with changes in the 

barn, to the barn, or around the barn. 

Sounds easy, right? Well, the creators of 

this delightfully silly horror-comedy know 

there is no fun to be had when their characters 

decide to follow the iron-clad keys to 

staying alive. 

After an opening scene that demonstrates 

what can happen when an individual 

breaks the rules — hint: it involves an 

autopsy report that states the cause of 

death is “catching oneself on fire” after surviving 

a fall from a two-story barn window 

— we meet the protagonists of the film, an 

American family who inherit a farmstead 

in Norway after the sudden passing of a 

relative. There are four victims, I mean, 

four members of the Nordheim clan: Bill 

(Martin Starr), the hapless father who 

thinks nothing bad ever happens in 

Norway; Carol (Amrita Acharia), Bill’s second 

wife who is a self-proclaimed self-help 

guru; Nora (Zoe Winther-Hansen), Bill’s 

surly elder teenage daughter who is 

despondent over leaving sunny, warm 

California; and Lucas (Townes Bunner), 

Bill’s sensitive younger teenage son who is 

trying to see the positive in moving to a 

new country with a new culture and a new 

language. 

Their inherited home is a picturesque, if 

remote farm, complete with a wooden barn 

that has seen better days. In terms of holiday 

movies, this house is an A+ holiday 

house, a postcard-worthy setting complete 

with rolling hills nestled with glistening 

and pristine snow. But, as the locals 

advise, they should not get too attached to 

the beautiful property as there is something 

not quite right there. 

The trouble with the farmstead, 

explains Tor (Calle Hellevang Larsen), a 

friendly neighbor who is the local museum 

director for mythical Scandinavian creatures, 

is that their barn is inhabited by 

nisse, or magical elves who are willing to 

help out with the land as long as their 

rules of no bright lights, no loud noises, 

and no changes are followed. 

“If you follow the rules, you’ll be fine,” 

Tor tells the family. 

Of course, only Lucas takes these rules 

to heart and begins to make offerings of 

friendship to the barn elf (played by Kiran 

Shah), who kinda looks like a cross 

between a disheveled Santa doll and 

Gizmo, the mogwai from the 1984 classic 

creature feature “Gremlins.” Since he 

wants to live in harmony 

with this magical 

being, Lucas tells his 

father and step-mother 

about the creature and 

encourages them to 

make friends with the 

nisse as well. 

For their part, Bill 

and Carol do not want 

to hear that anything 

is amiss with their 

new properties, nor do 

they want to hear that the elf does not 

want to see any changes to the land. You 

see, Bill and Carol have plans for their new 

home, and those plans include transforming 

the dilapidated barn into a quaint bed 

and breakfast for vacationers around the 

world. 

Feeling as if their children need to make 

friends, Bill and Carol decide to throw a 

few raucous parties complete with song 

and dance and plenty of alcohol. They also 

decide it is too dark in their stretch of the 

woods and they need holiday nights to be 

strung up everywhere to illuminate the 

night. 

The final straw for the increasingly 

angry and desperate barn elf is a slight 

over a breakfast meal: He wanted porridge 

as a peace offering and what he got was 

cold fish after a hungry Bill mistakenly ate 

his plate. The chaos that follows between 

barn elf, barn elves, and humans is one of 

the weirdest and funniest things I have 

seen on the screen all year. 

In terms of recent holiday horror-comedies, 

“There’s Something in the Barn” 

never quite reaches the highs of 

“Krampus” or even “Violent Night,” but it 

has the right combination of humor and 

horror to hit a sweet spot inside of those 

who sometimes have more, let’s say, less 

than jolly tastes around the holiday. 

Filled with great jokes at the expense of 

both America and Norway — Bill and Carol 

keep expecting people to have guns while 

the Norwegians just want peace despite 

being shot with arrows and other objects — 

and littered with some light gore at the 

expense of both humans and elves alike, 

this film is a gift that you don’t want to 

miss this holiday season, or any that come 

on a rewatch thereafter.
