When it comes to protecting natural resources, the 

Lohstroh family has its sights set on the future. 

“We look forward to continuing our conservation efforts 

with our next generation,” said Jonathan 

Lohstroh as he accepted the Conservation Farm Family 

Award for Ohio’s southwest region with his daughter, 

Julie, in his arms, and his wife, 

Annie, and parents, George and 

Michelle, at his side. 

The Ohio Department of Agriculture 

(ODA) bestowed the annual 

award on the Lohstrohs and four 

other families around the state on 

Sept. 20 at the Farm Science Review 

in London. This marked the 35th 

year for the awards program. 

“Ohio is very fortunate to have

disciplines.” 

some of the most fertile ground in the country for 

growing a wide variety of crops, but none of that is 

possible if we do not implement conservation practices 

to take care of what we have,” said ODA Director 

David Daniels. “These families have gone the extra 

mile in conserving soil, water, woodland and wildlife 

on the land they farm, and we thank them for their 

dedication.” 

The Lohstrohs farm approximately 1,000 acres in 

Madison and Pickaway counties. They raise corn, soybeans, 

pumpkins, wheat, hay, cover crops, and 

sorghum-sudan grass for baled silage. They also tend 

a 35-cow beef herd and operate a fall farm market that 

offers pick-your-own pumpkins, hay rides, and educational 

tours for school groups. For nutrient management, 

they use variable rate technology for precision 

placement. 

The family has found many ways to pass along to 

customers and fellow farmers what they’ve learned 

when it comes to conservation. They talk to their fall 

market customers about where food comes from and 

the process of raising food in a sustainable manner. A 

pollinator exhibit on the farm shows the importance 

of bees. The farm also has served as 

a demonstration site for livestock exclusion 

fencing, Soil and Water Conservation 

District (SWCD) tours, 

pasture field days, a solar field day, 

Farm Bureau meetings, and educator 

workshops. 

“Conservation is a multi-year, 

multi-faceted pursuit,” said George 

Lohstroh. “It takes a lot of people to 

get where we’re at and a lot of input 

from a lot of different disciplines.” 

The family is always trying new practices on the 

farm. Some work better than others, but all are learning 

experiences, said Michelle Lohstroh. 

“You don’t see the results always right away. You 

have to be in it for the long haul,” she said. 

The Lohstrohs thanked the SWCDs of Madison and 

Pickaway counties and the Department of Agriculture 

for assistance with the family’s conservation projects. 

The Lohstrohs received $400 from the Ohio Farm 

Bureau Federation and a plaque from ADS Hancor. 

Since 1984, the Conservation Farm Family Awards 

program has recognized 181 Ohio farm families.

Residents in Mount Sterling could see a dramatic increase in 

their water and sewer bills due to legislation now under consideration 

by village council. 

The purpose of the proposed legislation is to raise funds to pay 

back the crippling debt the village incurred as a result of enhancements 

to the wastewater plant and construction of a new water plant. 

“We have to pay $250,000 every six months because of the debt 

previous administrations incurred as a result of these two projects,” 

said Mayor Billy Martin. “When we make this payment in December, 

we will be broke. (The fee increase) is our only option.” 

The village owes $3.78 million for the work at the wastewater 

plant and $9.5 million for construction of the new water plant. 

“I can’t believe past administrations 

burdened this small 

community with this debt. We 

never needed all of these things,” 

Martin said. “The water plant 

produces three times what we 

need and alone costs $10,000 a 

month for electricity. I call this 

stupidity.” 

The water plant produces 

“We don’t take this decision 

lightly and know the impact 

this will have on 

residents.” 

–Becky Martin, 

Mount Sterling village 

council member 

900,000 gallons of water a month; the village uses approximately 

200,000 gallons a month. 

Despite comments that the projects should have been scaled back, 

the Ohio State Auditor says the village has to pay back the loans. 

The proposed legislation calls for raising the monthly debt fee 

for water and sewer by between $49.40 and $50.85 for residential 

properties. For commercial businesses, the rate would increase by 

$50.25. The volume rate paid by industrial businesses would go up 

by $5.95. 

Currently, residents pay a monthly debt fee of between $20.40 

and $21.85, commercial businesses pay $21.25, and industrial businesses 

pay a volume rate of $8.35. 

“For residents, if you have a $30 water/sewer bill it will now be 

$80, or if you have a $100 water/sewer bill it will be $150,” said 

Becky Martin, council member. “Everyone’s bills won’t double. It is 

just the debt fee that is increasing.” 

She said the rate hike is not an easy decision for council members, 

and they will be directly impacted, as well. 

“I’m a village resident, too, and a business owner, so my bill is 

going to go up in two places,” Martin said. “We don’t take this decision 

lightly and know the impact this will have on residents. We 

know people live on fixed incomes, but this is our only option. We 

are doing the bare minimum to just pay our debt and ensure we 

have money to cover improvements and repairs.” 

Martin said council would revisit the increase in the future if the 

village’s finances improve. 

“No one is here trying to get rich. We are here because we love 

this community and don’t want it to fold,” she said.

Business partners sought for internship program 

By Lori Smith 

Staff Writer 

Pairing Madison County students with local businesses is the 

focus of a new internship program coordinated by the Madison 

County Chamber of Commerce, Madison County Future Inc., and 

Tolles Career and Technical Center. 

According to Steve Cawley, marketing and logistics instructor at 

Tolles and the internship coordinator, the program is in the developmental 

stages, but he expects organizers to start matching students 

with businesses after the first of the year.

“We’re very excited about it,” Cawley 

said, noting the idea came about after a 

meeting at which business leaders lamented 

the lack of qualified entry-level workers. 

“They were saying: ‘We have the jobs, but 

we don’t have the work force.’ Tolles has always 

provided a similar program within our 

building. Now all schools within the county 

will be included.” 

In addition to serving Tolles students, 

the program will offer internship opportunities 

to seniors from the Jonathan Alder, 

Fairbanks, West Jefferson, London and 

Madison-Plains school districts. Students 

will choose from job shadowing, unpaid internships, 

or paid internships and may be 

able to perform the work as part of the regular 

school day or on evenings or weekends, 

depending on the opportunity. 

“We just want the companies to give our 

students experience in the work force,” Cawley 

said. “I guess you could call it entry level, 

but it’s not just running to get coffee and 

doughnuts. They are actually working and 

getting graded on their experience.” 

Utilizing contacts from the Tolles advisory 

board, the students may apply for the positions 

and go through an interview process, 

Cawley said. Student must be academically 

on track to graduate in the spring, have a 

grade point average of 2.5 or above, have a 

95 percent or better attendance rate, and receive 

the recommendation of an instructor. 

“We may provide each business with two 

or three candidates, and they will get to 

choose one through an interview process,” 

he explained. 

Students are expected to have good organizational 

skills, value teamwork, understand the importance of attendance 

and punctuality, have a good work ethic, and be dressed 

appropriately with good personal hygiene. 

“Those qualities are pounded into their heads before they even 

leave the building,” he said. “We tell them, ‘We want you to put a 

good foot forward.’ ” 

Although Cawley is still talking to various companies around the 

county about the details of the internship program, he said Tolles 

already has business connections through the 21 programs it offers, 

including medical, automotive, construction, shipping, culinary and 

much more. 

“It really is a full spectrum,” he said, noting that many of the internships 

can lead to further opportunities. He noted one student 

who interned for an automotive company. 

“She is now working there full time and also getting her college 

paid for.” 

Another student started in an administrative position at an engineering 

firm and now runs the human resources department for 

the entire company. 

Once a student is accepted into the internship program, Cawley 

will check back to make sure the student is fulfilling their end of 

the agreement. 

“It really is a win for the employer because they are getting some 

help that they need, while the student is earning class credit and 

gaining work experience,” he said. 

David Kell, executive director of the Madison County Chamber 

of Commerce and Madison County Future Inc., said businesses are 

excited about the prospect of joining forces with the schools. 

“They are saying they need quality employees of very different 

levels,” he said. “The schools have been working on strengthening 

their relationships with the area businesses, so why not take it 

county-wide?” 

Kell said big and small companies alike have responded positively 

to the news of the internship program. 

“We want it to be extremely successful, but we’re prepared to 

start small and grow from there,” Kell said. 

Businesses interested in creating an internship program should 

contact David Kell at david@madisoncountyohio.org or Steve Cawley 

at scawley@tollestech.com.

Not all council members support the proposal. Some argued the 

village could take money from its capital improvement fund to cover 

some of the costs until further research is done. 

“This has been agonizing me for a while, and I’m wondering why 

some of the loan debt can’t be paid out of the capital improvement 

fund, so we don’t have to pass as much of this onto the residents 

and businesses,” said Rebecca Burns, council member. “We would 

have to get approval from the state to change our five-year plan, 

but basically the RITA (regional income tax) money could go towards 

this.” 

Other council members rebutted, saying the use of capital improvement 

funds would provide only a temporary fix, that the village 

would be short on finances again in a few months. They also 

said if they spend the capital improvement funds, the village won’t 

have money to repair roads and make other upgrades. Currently, 

the village has $230,000 in its capital improvements fund. 

“We have looked into this. The auditor said we need to increase 

the water/sewer bills and that this won’t fix the overall problem,” 

Mayor Martin. “I get no pleasure in doing this and have made hundreds 

of phone calls to the auditor and attorney general. This is what 

needs to be done and is the minimum rate increase to pay our debt.” 

The council voted 3-3 on the first reading of the fee increase legislation. 

Those voting in favor of the proposed increases were Lowell 

Anderson, Becky Martin and David Timmons. Council members Rebecca 

Burns, Tammy VanSickle, and Tom Ward. Mayor Martin 

broke the tie with a “yes” vote to move the legislation forward for a 

second reading at council’s next meeting on Oct. 8. 

If the legislation ends up passing, the increases will go into effect 

on Jan. 1, 2019.

Protect against exposure to West Nile Virus 

While there have been no confirmed human cases of West Nile 

Virus (WNV) in Madison County this year, the threat of exposure 

to WNV remains as we approach fall. Regardless of the season, I 

encourage people to operate under the assumption that mosquitoes 

are carrying encephalitis-causing illnesses that can make people really 

quite sick. My simple advice is this: If you are going to be outside 

in the late afternoon and evening, wear insect repellent. 

Last year, Madison County Public Health staff found a pool of 

mosquitoes that tested positive for WNV in August. Although no 

mosquitoes have tested positive this year, the threat of WNV is 

present. As of mid-September, 68 counties in Ohio have trapped and 

submitted mosquitoes for testing. Of those 68 counties, 54 had at 

least one mosquito pool test positive for WNV. Ohio Department of 

Health data shows that 2,923 mosquito pools have tested positive 

for WNV this year. We all know that mosquitoes are mobile, and it 

is unlikely that they respect county borders. So even with no positive 

pools of mosquitoes here in Madison, it is pretty evident that 

WNV can be found everywhere. 

West Nile Virus is an arbovirus that was first discovered in the 

United States in 1999. WNV is most commonly spread by infected 

mosquitoes and can lead to severe fever, encephalitis (inflammation 

of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain 

and spinal cord). 

The most common mosquito in Ohio, the northern house mosquito, 

or Culex pipiens, carries WNV. Mosquitoes become infected 

when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then 

spread the virus to humans and other animals when they bite. 

Ohio has had 23 confirmed human cases of WNV this year. Approximately 

80 percent of people who are infected with WNV will 

not show any symptoms, but there is no way to know in advance if

you will develop an illness or not. 

Those who develop symptoms usually 

do so between three and 14 days after 

they are bitten by the infected mosquito. 

About 20 percent of people experience mild symptoms 

of WNV. Mild symptoms include fever, headache, 

body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen 

lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach, and 

back. Symptoms can last for a few days to as long as several 

weeks. 

About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop 

severe illness. Severe symptoms can include high 

fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, 

tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, 

numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several 

weeks and the neurological effects may be permanent. 

There is no specific treatment for WNV infection 

and care is based on symptoms. 

Many species of mosquitoes are active from dusk to 

dawn. However, some species will bite during the day, 

as well. Approved repellents are the most effective line 

of defense against WNV and mosquito bites. When you 

are outdoors, use repellents containing DEET, picaridin, 

IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol

(PMD). It is also important to follow 

the directions on the package for 

reapplication. Repellents that claim 

to be all-natural or made of essential 

oils or devices that you wear have not 

been proven to be effective. 

Other activities you can do to help 

reduce your risk of WNV include: 

• remove standing water from 

items such as birdbaths, pet dishes, 

old tires, small wading pools, buckets 

and toys laying in the yard; 

• use screens on windows and 

doors and repair holes if you see them; 

• wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants especially 

in the evening; 

• protect younger children and babies with mosquito 

netting over baby carriers and strollers. 

If you have questions about WNV or mosquito control, 

contact Madison County Public Health at (740)

Fan of tightly fought football games 

I attended the London High School 

football game on Sept. 21. I enjoyed 

watching the enthusiasm of the fans and 

team and enjoyed the high school football atmosphere. 

London is an explosive team and will be tested in 

their next games. My comment, in general and without 

criticism of the football staff: The score was 81-7, and 

London could have scored 100. What is a coaching staff 

to do in a game like this? I do not think it is a learning 

experience for either team to go 

through a game like this. As a 

spectator, I enjoy the close, tightly 

fought games, which I know will be coming up. 

London team, keep up the good work and win the 

rest of your games.

Rotary Student of the Month: London 

iel is hard-working, 

humble, goal-oriented 

Senior Bricker Thiel is 

London Rotary Club’s September 

Student of the Month 

at London High School. 

London High School administrators 

choose students 

of the month based on academic 

and extracurricular 

achievement and positive 

character. 

Bricker has a 3.0 grade 

point average and is ranked 

40th in his class. His favorite 

class is college composition. 

He plays football and has 

earned all-league, all-district 

and all-state honors. 

When asked to name a school staffer who 

has served as an inspiration for him, he 

named Tim Coudret. 

“Mr. Coudret always has a positive attitude,” 

he said. 

About Thiel, Coudret commented, 

“Bricker is the type of young man that you 

hope for as a student. He is hard working 

Bricker Thiel 

yet humble, always polite, 

and he inherently understands 

that a goal is only 

reached through sacrifice and 

commitment. 

“Bricker’s quiet confidence 

makes him an absolute pleasure 

to have in the classroom. 

I know he has a bright future 

and look forward to seeing the 

great things that are on his 

horizon.” 

Bricker is undecided about 

his plans following graduation 

but hopes to play collegiate 

football. 

He is the son of Lori Davie 

and Chad Thiel of London. 

The London Rotary Club has a proud history 

dating back to 1929. It is a member of 

Rotary International, a volunteer organization 

of 1.2 million business and professional 

leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian 

service and help build goodwill and 

peace. 

Rotary Student of the Month: Madison-Plains 

Guiette has her sights 

set on nursing career 

Honoring the Constitution 

London Mayor Patrick Closser (second from left) proclaimed Sept. 17-23 as Constitution 

Week in the city of London. On hand were members of the London chapter of the 

National Society Daughters of the American Revolution: (from left) Nancy Robinson, 

national defense chair; Bonnie Stout, Constitution Week chairperson; and Vicki Carner, 

regent. In 1955, the national society petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 each 

year for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was adopted by the Congress 

and signed into public law on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. 

Senior Rachel Guiette is 

London Rotary Club’s September 

Student of the Month at 

Madison-Plains High School. 

Madison-Plains administrators 

choose students of the 

month based on academic and 

extracurricular achievement 

and positive character. 

Guiette has a 3.780 unweighted 

grade point average 

and is ranked second in her 

class. Her favorite class is 

anatomy. 

She has played varsity 

softball for three years and 

was varsity team captain for 

one year. She has been a member of the 

powerlifting team for two years and placed 

second at state both years. 

A two-year member of National Honor 

Society, Guiette is this year’s secretary. She 

also has served as the junior class and senior 

class secretary. She has been a member 

of FFA for four years, student council for 

two years, was an attendant on the homecoming 

court as a sophomore, and is on the 

homecoming court this year. 

When asked to name a school staffer who 

has served as an inspiration, she said, 

“Coach Mike Siders is an inspiration to me 

because he genuinely cares about all of his 

Rachel Guiette 

students and pushes us to be 

the best that we can be.” 

Siders said of Guiette, 

“Rachel Guiette is a true, dedicated 

and determined leader 

for Madison-Plains. She is not 

only a standout in the classroom 

with putting forth hard 

work to accomplish her academic 

goals, but also is currently 

ranked second in the 

state for powerlifting in her 

weight class. This is only a 

minor accomplishment of 

hers. Rachel is always looking 

for what comes next or tries to 

engage in what is to come to 

help make Madison-Plains a better place. 

She truly is an ideal role model for all students 

at Madison-Plains.” 

After graduation, Guiette plans to attend 

a four-year college and major in nursing. 

She would like to specialize in intensive 

care. Guiette is the daughter of Timothy 

and Lisa Guiette.

“This is a great opportunity to talk to experts about 

your idea and have them help you flesh it out in a structured 

environment,” said Tom Fisher, a member of the 

Downtown London Association, which is helping to coordinate 

the event. 

The two-part workshop will cover the following topics: 

* how to find, reach and connect with customers; 

* legal business structures; 

* tax requirements; 

* how to market and sell your product or service; 

* how to write a business plan; and 

* access to sources of financing. 

Certified business advisors from the Small Business 

Development Center, along with attorneys, accountants, 

bankers and other business experts, will lead the 

workshop. They will evaluate participants’ initial concepts, 

determine their readiness, and provide an 

overview of the start-up process. 

“It’s the same type of workshop you would get at the 

center’s fixed site in Columbus, but by bringing it to 

London, you don’t have to travel to Franklin County to 

get it,” Fisher said. 

The Ohio Small Business Development Center at 

Columbus State provides consulting, advising and educational 

programs designed to support growth-oriented 

small businesses and entrepreneurs in central Ohio. 

The center is supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration, 

the Ohio Development Services Agency, 

the city of Columbus, Columbus State, and other local 

partners. 

To sign up for the Oct. 24-25 workshop, go to the 

Downtown London Association Facebook page, click on

Santino Carnevale and his Cancer Crusaders manned a lemonade stand at this year’s 

West Jefferson Ox Roast parade over Labor Day weekend: (front row, from left) Lauren 

Friessen, Avery Friessen, Mitchell Peters, Blake Bogenrife, Nate Godinez, Zac Thompson; 

(back row) Wyatt Keyt, Ethan Friessen, Alexa Bogenrife, Santino Carnevale, Caden Bateman, 

Brett Bogenrife. Santino is hosting a community tailgate party on Oct. 6. All proceeds 

benefit The James cancer center. 

WJ tailgate to benefit 

cancer research fund 

Local resident Santino Carnevale is hosting 

his 2nd Annual Community Tailgate 

Party at 2 p.m. Oct. 6 prior to Ohio State 

University’s game against Indiana. The 

event will take place in the parking lot at 

Pat’s Pizza & Pub, 55 E. Main St., West Jefferson. 

Proceeds benefit cancer research. 

Pre-game activities include a cornhole 

tournament (sign-ups start at 1 p.m.), music 

by The Lost River Band, a beer truck, silent 

auction, 50/50 raffle and football square. 

Pumpkins will be available to decorate for a 

donation. 

Santino has found himself in the cancer 

world the entirety of his life. In March 2006, 

just 10 days after his parents, Michael and 

Brooke Carnevale, discovered they were expecting 

him, Michael was diagnosed with 

adenoid cystic carcinoma–a rare head and 

neck cancer. 

In 2015, at only 9 years old, Santino 

made the decision to stand up and do something 

in the fight against cancer. At such a 

young age, he already possessed a desire to 

help others going through similar battles. 

Santino began by organizing a lemonade 

stand and bake sale at the West Jefferson 

Ox Roast, held annually on Labor Day 

weekend. Santino intended to honor his father, 

as well as his grandfather, the late 

Franklin County Sheriff Jim Karnes, who 

passed away when Santino was 4 years old 

from pancreatic cancer. 

The first year of the lemonade stand, 

Santino’s efforts raised $5,000 and he has 

never looked back. Santino formed his initiative 

known as “Santino’s Crusade for a 

Cancer-Free World.” In addition to the annual 

lemonade stand and bake sale, Santino 

hosts an OSU Tailgate party in downtown 

West Jefferson, OH. His family, friends and 

classmates have joined him in his efforts. 

Santino is known throughout The James- 

Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer 

in Columbus as one of the youngest 

adolescents to establish a fund and is often 

referred to as “Santino, the Cancer Crusader!” 

Santino created the Head and Neck 

Cancer Strategic Support Fund at The 

James in his father’s honor in 2015. Unfortunately, 

Michael succumbed to his long 

battle with cancer in the fall of 2016, but 

that hasn’t slowed Santino’s efforts. 

Proceeds raised from Santino’s initiatives 

have exceeded $41,000 in the past 

three years for the Head and Neck Cancer 

Strategic Support Fund. In addition, Santino 

received the 2018 Jefferson Award, presented 

by WBNS-10TV, Schoedinger 

Funeral and Cremation Services, and Lifeline 

of Ohio to recognize individuals who do 

extraordinary things in their community 

without expecting anything in return. To 

date, Santino is the youngest person in history 

to receive the Jefferson Award. Santino 

also serves as a member of the James Ambassadors 

Society and is the youngest member 

inducted into the Society.
