Strung Up Bluegrass Band is the featured act at the 3rd Annual Bluegrass & BBQ, set 

for Oct. 27 in the Della Selsor Building at the Madison County Fairgrounds in London. 

Bluegrass & BBQ returns 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

The Madison County Historical Society 

and the London Visual Arts Guild are making 

a habit of putting on an entertaining 

and delicious evening of music and food. 

For the third year in a row, the two organizations 

are hosting Bluegrass & BBQ. 

This year’s event takes place on Oct. 27 in 

the Della Selsor Building at the Madison 

County Fairgrounds, 205 Elm St., London. 

Doors open at 5 p.m. The opening act, 

singer-songwriter Michael Boyle, will perform 

old country music and some bluegrass 

from 6 to 7 p.m. The headliner, 

Strung Up Bluegrass Band, takes the 

spotlight from 7 to 9 p.m. 

Admission is $10 in advance or $12 at 

the door. Tickets can be purchased at Phat 

Daddy’s Pizza, 15 E. First St., London, or 

Gallery On High, 5 E. High St., London, or 

from any Historical Society or Arts Guild 

member. Meals are $5 and include a barbecue 

sandwich, chips and a cookie. 

“We had a full house the past two 

years. We have Strung Up Bluegrass 

Band back again this year. They have 

been well received. They play all around 

here,” said Jim Donohoe, a member of both 

the Historical Society and the Arts Guild. 

Proceeds from the event benefit both 

groups. 

The Arts Guild operates Gallery On 

High and Studio 7 on High Street in London. 

The organization promotes art and 

art education through exhibits, classes, 

workshops, outreach programs and social 

activities. Area artists are welcome to 

work on their craft during open studio 

hours. Through Oct. 28, the photography 

of local resident Bob Rea is on exhibit at 

the gallery. 

The guild relies on membership dues, 

donations and fundraisers to cover facility 

maintenance costs, utility bills, equipment 

and supply purchases, college scholarships, 

and scholarships that allow area 

children to take classes at the studio. For 

more information, go to londonvisualartsguild.org. 

The Madison County Historical Society, 

260 E. High St., London, offers the public 

a chance to take a trip through the 

county’s past with museum tours, pioneer 

camps, school visits and special events. In 

addition to the museum, the grounds feature 

a caboose, one-room school house, 

early settler Jonathan Alder’s log cabin, 

and a two-story log house. 

Like the Arts Guild, the Historical Society 

relies on memberships, donations 

and fundraisers to operate and maintain 

its facilities and programs. The museum is 

open from 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays and 

Wednesdays. For more information, call 

(740) 852-2977. 



The city of London is nearly ready to 

start the first phase of its move into the new 

city hall building at 20 S. Walnut St. 

Crews have been renovating the first 

floor of the former primary school building 

that sits at the corner of South Walnut and 

East High Street to allow the city to consolidate 

all but the police, fire and street departments 

under one roof. 

“We look to move the offices in three 

phases,” said Mayor Patrick Closser. “We 

hope to get my office and the parks and 

recreation department in there by the end 

of the month.” 

Those two departments will test how the 

building functions, making sure all systems 

are working before more departments make 

the move. 

The second phase will see the law office, 

tax department, and building and zoning 

department move into the building, followed 

in the third phase by the auditor’s office 

and board of public utilities. 

Closser said he does not have a firm 

timeline for the second and third phases but

The city of London plans to consolidate most of its departments under one roof, on the 

first floor of the former school building at 20 S. Walnut St. Renovations are nearly complete. 

The first phase of the move-in process is slated for later this month.

does plan to hold a public open house once all departments are settled. 

In the meantime, the public is invited to attend the next city 

properties meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at the building to see the 

progress. 

The city had hoped to move into the new building earlier this 

year but ran into delays with the discovery of asbestos in and under 

the building. 

“That kind of held us up a little bit. We wanted to make sure it 

was safe for everyone—the citizens and our employees—and didn’t 

want to rush it,” Closser said. 

Even with the asbestos abatement, the project as originally

Tim Russell of All State Exteriors installs a drop box for utility 

payments at what will be the new London city hall at 20 S. Walnut 

St. Russell has served as foreman on renovations at the former 

school building. Over the past year, his crew has installed new 

lighting, new heating and cooling systems, flooring, and drop 

ceilings. The entire interior is getting a new coat of paint, as well. 

planned has stayed under bid. City council 

approved $1.64 million for the project. The 

bid came in under $1.6 million. The city is 

financing the project through J.P. Morgan 

Chase with an annual payment of $107,876. 

The city has since added some improvement 

projects outside the original bid package, 

including installation of Wi-Fi and a 

parking lot for employees at 20 S. Walnut. 

The parking lot likely will be located behind 

Bicentennial Park next to Dr. Mark Lima’s 

dentist office. The estimated cost for the additional 

projects at 20 S. Walnut St. is 

$300,000. Closser said the city will use 

money from its general fund and 2019 capital 

funds to cover the work done outside the 

original bid package. 

The city decided to bring its departments 

under one roof for two main reasons, Closser 

said. One, the buildings the departments 

now occupy are aging and with that comes 

the need for repairs. The Walnut Street 

property, built in the 1960s, is block construction. 

“This building will last forever. It has 

sturdy bones...I feel this will be city hall for 

a very, very long time,” Closser said. 

The second reason is convenience. Instead 

of traveling to several locations to take 

care of city-related business, citizens will be 

able to make one stop. 

“If you have to pay taxes, pick up registration 

for volleyball and pay your water 

bill, for example, you can do that all in a couple 

of minutes at one place,” Closser said. 

The city also will see efficiencies in utilities 

with one building to heat and cool instead of 

several. Supplies could be bought in bulk for 

all departments, instead of individually per 

department, Closser added. 

The consolidation means the city will vacate 

three locations—6 E. Second St., 102 S. Main St., and 100 S. 

Main St. Closser said the city will put the properties up for sale 

through the government bidding process. The properties will go to 

the highest, best bidders, as approved by city council. 

The police and fire departments will remain at their current locations. 

The street department recently moved to the former Ohio 

Department of Transportation garage at 1460 State Rte. 42. The 

fire department is expanding into the vacated street department 

space. 

The Madison-Champaign Educational Service Center rents the 

second floor of the 20 S. Walnut St. building and will continue to 

do so when the first floor becomes city hall.

Boosters and scholars applauded by JA board 

By Sandi Latimer 

Staff Writer 

Jonathan Alder Local Schools’ athletic 

and music boosters groups have been busy 

this past year. Representatives shared highlights 

at the Oct. 8 school board meeting. 

“We got a new concession sign,” said Athletic 

Booster President Michelle Farley- 

Mancini. “It is so huge, I wondered who 

would put it up.” 

The sign covers the back of the concession 

stand and has white print on a black 

background. Interspersed with the white 

writing of menu items and prices are colorful 

drawings of snack items. Local artist Hilary 

Frambes designed and made the sign; 

contractor G.O. Justus installed it. 

Through concession stand sales and the 

annual Booster Bash, the athletic boosters 

raised $62,000 this past year. The money 

went toward: 

* state championship banners for the 

softball team; 

* chartering a bus to take the softball 

team to the state tournament; 

* a new rack in the weight room; 

* wall mats; 

* a football tackling dummy; 

* range balls for the boys’ golf team; 

* team shirts for boys’ basketball; 

* team bags for boys’ soccer; 

* uniforms for girls’ tennis; 

* three $500 scholarships; and 

* the Boosters’ second $10,000 commitment 

to the proposed Alder Field Turf. 

The group’s biggest fundraiser, the 

Booster Bash, will celebrate its 10th year on 

March 9 at the Bridgewater Conference 

Center. 

Fundraising is big for the JA Music 

Boosters (JAMB), too, said President Lucas 

Gutirrez. Over the past five years, those efforts 

have funded: 

* $15,600 in scholarships; 

* the purchase of 36 uniforms; 

* a trip to Philadelphia and New York; 

* a music trailer to haul equipment; 

* risers for the junior high choral pro-

gram; 

* a marimba; and 

* four rehearsal mirrors. 

The music boosters raise money through 

visitor-side concession stand sales and an 

annual Sugar Plum Lane event at the winter 

holidays. Additionally, a mattress sale 

brought in more money than expected. 

Participation in band and choir has 

grown over the past five years, from 249 students 

to 414 students in band and from 178 

students to 201 students in choir. 

At the start of the board meeting, high 

school Principal Mike Aurin recognized two 

seniors for outstanding achievement in the 

National Merit Scholarship Program. Clair 

Grywalski was named a Commended 

Scholar and Sandy Moser was named a National 

Merit Semifinalist. 

Commended Scholars placed among the 

top 50,000 scores of more than 1.6 million 

students who entered 2019 competition by 

taking the 2017 PSAT/NMSQT. Moser is one 

of the approximately 16,000 semifinalists 

who have the opportunity to continue in 

competition for National Merit Scholarships. 

Board members approved a shared service 

agreement with Fairbanks Local School

How to safely use slow cookers 

Work, school, and parenting 

obligations can make weekdays 

and even weekends hectic. 

Many of us do not feel we have 

enough time to make a good dinner 

for our family. Slow cookers to the rescue! 

Slow cookers, also known as crock pots, are great 

tools. No more standing in front of the refrigerator trying 

to make decisions about what to have for dinner 

after a long day at work. No more trying to balance food 

prep and homework. Just throw the ingredients in the 

slow cooker before leaving for work or daily activities 

and turn it on. 

Slow cookers come with so many advantages. They 

can save time and money. They use less electricity than 

a conventional oven. They cook foods slowly and at a low 

temperature–between 170°F and 280°F—and the low 

heat helps less expensive, leaner cuts of meat become 

tender and shrink less. The direct heat from the pot and 

lengthy cooking time combine to destroy bacteria, making 

the slow cooker a good choice for safely cooking 

foods. 

When using a slow cooker, follow these important 

food safety tips: 

1. Make sure your slow cooker, utensils and work 

area are clean. 

2. Keep perishable foods refrigerated until it is time 

to add them to the slow cooker. Bacteria multiplies rapidly 

when food is left at room temperature. 

3. Always defrost meat or poultry before putting it in 

the slow cooker. If you place frozen meat or poultry in a

slow cooker, it can spend too 

much time thawing, allowing 

bacteria to multiply and make 

you sick. Using defrosted foods 

also will ensure your meal cooks 

evenly and all the way through. Vegetables cook slower 

than meat and poultry in a slow cooker, so if using 

them, put them in first. 

4. Cut large pieces of meat into smaller pieces before 

adding them to the slow cooker, and make sure your 

slow cooker is half to two-thirds full to ensure foods cook 

thoroughly. 

Before you serve a meal from the slow cooker, make 

sure to use a food thermometer the food has reached the 

minimum temperature (see chart). Place the thermometer 

probe in the center of the cooker with soups, sauces 

and stews. If cooking meats, probe a thicker piece of 

meat with the thermometer. Don’t let the thermometer 

touch the side of the cooker as this will be hotter than 

the food in it and give you a false reading. If your cooker 

has a temperature display, you still want to check to be 

sure the food has reached the minimum temperature to 

inhibit pathogenic bacteria from growing and causing 

the potential for a foodborne illness. 

Use recipes written with instructions for using a 

slow cooker for better success on your planned food. Refrigerate 

any leftovers within two hours after your meal. 

Prompt storage can prevent bacteria from growing in 

leftovers. These bacteria have no odor and can’t be 

tasted or seen. 

Leftovers should be stored in shallow pans or containers 

so that they cool down quickly. The 

quicker your leftovers cool, the less time they 

spend in the “danger zone” (40—140°F). Most 

leftovers will keep for about four days in the 

refrigerator. 

You are now set with your food safety tips 

to make one daily chore less of a hassle. Enjoy 

your meal!

As a thank-you for allowing the Darby Creek Chapter of the Archaeology 

Society of Ohio to use the Oak Run Township Hall 

for meetings, chapter president John Stroman (far right) presents 

a copy of “The Archaeology of Ohio” to township trustees 

(from left) Wayne Holland, Chuck Farmer, and Kelly Manns and 

township fiscal officer Shelly Kimbler. 

Archaeology buffs 

like meeting place 

Home at last! 

The Oak Run Township trustees recently voted unanimously 

to allow the Darby Creek Chapter of the Archaeological Society 

of Ohio to use the township 

hall for their monthly meetings. 

The club meets at 5:30 

p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month for a light supper and 

meeting. The public is welcome to attend. Individuals with archaeological 

finds are invited to bring them in for an expert opinion. 

Most meetings include guest speakers, presentations, and 

enlightening conversation. 

On Oct. 1, John Stroman, vice president of the Darby Creek 

Chapter, presented a copy of “The Archaeology of Ohio,” written 

by Robert N. Converse, a Plain City native with a nationwide 

reputation as an expert in Native American artifacts, to the Oak 

Run Township trustees as an act of appreciation.

New vote tally on fee increases 

T 

T idd Fa 

mily Funeral Homes 

and Crematory 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

Some Mount Sterling village council members have 

changed their minds regarding proposed increases in 

the debt fees residents and commercial businesses pay 

for water and waste water. 

The proposed increases were introduced at council’s 

Sept. 24 meeting. The purpose is to help pay back loans 

for renovation of the wastewater plant and construction 

of the new water plant. The village owes $3.8 million on 

the wastewater loan and $9.5 million on the water plant 

loan. Without new revenue, the village will not have 

enough money to pay the loan payment due in the 

spring. 

On Sept. 24, council voted 3-3 with Mayor Billy Martin 

breaking the tie with a “yes” vote to move the resolution 

forward. On the second reading, held Oct. 8, 

council’s vote was 4-2 in favor of the increases. The final 

reading and potential adoption of the increases is set for 

Oct. 22. If passed, the increases would go into effect on 

Jan. 1, 2019. 

Council members David Timmons and Tom Ward 

cast the two “no” votes on Oct. 8. Previously, Timmons 

voted “yes.” 

“This is a very tough decision and I have to go with 

my heart,” Timmons said. “I have talked to so many 

people on fixed incomes that this will significantly impact. 

I just can’t ask people to pick between medicine, 

food and water.” 

Mayor Martin responded, “Voting with your heart 

isn’t going to pay the millions of dollars we are in debt. 

This is a suggestion by the (state auditor), and they 

have said we cannot default on this loan. We have 

Fr 

riends 

He 

elp 

ing Fr 

riends 

looked at every other option, but this is the only way.” 

Originally, council members Rebecca Burns and 

Tammy VanSickle voted “no” on the increases. Both 

voted “yes” on Oct. 8, joining Lowell Anderson and 

Becky Martin. 

“Before the last council meeting, we thought we 

might be able to use capital improvement funds to 

lessen this burden on residents and wanted to explore 

that option,” Burns said. “However, after meeting with 

the auditor and seeing the finances after we make the 

December (loan) payment, I saw we won’t have enough 

funds to fix other issues that could arise. We need to 

have additional money in case emergencies arise, so we 

can address other issues in the village.” 

Some council members said that in addition to the 

debt fee increases, they want to look at other ways to 

generate revenue so they could potentially reduce this 

burden in the future. 

“I still want to look at other creative ways we can 

generate revenue, including selling water,” said council 

member Becky Martin. The water plant is capable of 

producing 900,000 gallons of water per month. 

“I understand the burden this puts on residents and 

know this is painful to pay,” Martin said of the proposed 

increases. 

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.

FARM PAGES 

Mark calendars now for Ag Outlook meeting 

By Mary Griffith 

Extension Educator, Agriculture and Natural Resources 

The USDA’s Farm Income Forecast report, released in August, 

projects that farm income will continue to drop this year. 

The U.S. Farm Income in 2018 is forecasted at its lowest dollar 

value since 2002, with Ohio farm income mirroring that 

trajectory. 

Many outside factors influence the farm economy. International 

trade agreements, tariffs, the 2018 farm bill, land values 

and weather are just a few. While farmers do not have 

control over any of these factors, up-to-date information on 

these topics can help farmers make better management decisions. 

Farmers can get the latest information about these topics 

at Ohio State University Extension’s annual Ag Outlook Meeting 

on Jan. 17 at Der Dutchman Restaurant in Plain City. 

The program begins with breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by 

speakers starting at 8:30. The program will conclude by noon. 

Topics and presenters include: 

• 2018 Farm Bill Policy Update—Ben Brown, program manager, 

Ohio Farm Management Program, Department of Agricultural, 

Environmental and Development Economics 

• International Trade Agreements and Implications for Domestic 

Agriculture—Ian Sheldon, Andersons chair in Agricultural 

Marketing, Trade and Policy, Department of 

Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics 

• Examining the 2018 Ohio Farm Economy: Crop Budgets, 

Land Values and Cropland Rental Rates—Barry Ward, Extension 

farm management and production leader. 

• Weather and Climate: Implications for Crop Outlook— 

Aaron Wilson.

Searching for new 4-H leader 



Madison County’s 4-H program will have a new 

leader come January. 

Kirsten Holt, local 4-H educator for the past three 

years, has resigned to pursue another career. Her last 

day is Oct. 15. 

The Ohio State University (OSU) Extension plans to 

post the job opening at jobs.osu.edu by the end of this 

month, hold state-level interviews by the end of November, 

and hold county-level interviews and make a selection 

in December. 

“The 4-H educator position can be a big job. We’re excited 

to bring someone on board who is really enthusiastic 

about 4-H in Madison County and building the 

program,” said Mary Griffith, Madison County OSU Extension’s 

agriculture and natural resources educator. 

A 4-H educator provides leadership and oversight for 

the 4-H program in their county. They make sure advisors 

have the tools they need from OSU to lead their 

clubs, and they coordinate events, like the annual 

Tax practitioners, farmers and farmland owners are 

encouraged to connect to the Ag and Natural Resources 

Income Tax Issues Webinar on Dec. 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 

p.m. The event is sponsored by Ohio State University 

Extension and participants can attend the webinar at 

host locations around Ohio or connect at home or office. 

The webinar focuses on issues specific to farm tax returns 

related to agriculture and natural resources, and 

county fair, 4-H camp, and awards banquet for 4-H 

youth and volunteers. 

“Our positions are meant to be about outreach and 

education,” Griffith said. “Mine focuses on agriculture. 

The 4-H educator position focuses on youth development. 

“There are a lot of opportunities to do some different 

things with it. For instance, Kirsten started some school 

enrichment programs where she went into school classrooms 

to teach,” Griffith continued. “It’s up to the 4-H 

educator to work with the community to determine 

what programs to focus on.” 

During the search for a new 4-H educator, Arlene 

Duffey, Madison County Extension’s office associate, 

will handle all 4-H related communications and details. 

“She’s been here for 34 years, so she knows the program 

inside and out. We’re lucky to have her here during 

the vacancy and during the time when the new 

educator will be getting started,” Griffith said. 

For more information, call the Madison County OSU 

Extension Office at (740) 852-0975. 

Webinar will cover agricultural tax issues 

will highlight key regulations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs 

Act related specifically to those income tax returns. 

The program is an intermediate-level course for tax

West Jefferson observes Coffee with a Cop Day 

By Sandi Latimer 

Staff Writer 

Pat Miller stops in at The Daily Buzz in 

West Jefferson several times a week. On 

Tuesdays, she’s with a group of friends who 

enjoy a cup of joe and lively conversation. 

But on Oct. 3 when she and her husband, 

Tom, visited the coffee shop, they had a different 

mission. 

“I wanted to thank them for what they 

do,” she said, referring to members of the 

West Jefferson Police Department.

place on Oct. 3. Locally, West Jefferson Police 

Chief Richard Hardy and two of his officers 

greeted customers at the Daily Buzz. 

Hardy, sitting at one of the tables, talked 

about the history of Coffee with a Cop Day, 

observed this year for the first time in West 

Jefferson. 

It began in Hawthorne, a town in southern 

California, in 2011 as the police department 

there sought to better understand the 

needs and concerns of community residents. 

Since then, more than 10,000 such events 

have been held nationwide. They typically 

take place in coffee shops or restaurants. 

“It’s a great way for police to talk with 

residents and learn what they have on their 

minds and share with them what we do and 

how and why we do it,” Hardy said. 

West Jefferson Mayor Ray Martin 

stopped by with a friend. Other village employees 

took part, too. Public Service Director 

John Mitchell stopped by. Finance 

Director Becky Arnott munched on a doughnut 

while her friend Taylor Patterson from 

the Water Department chatted with her father, 

police Lt. Randy Sibbalds. 

Jeff and Kandice Lowe from the nearby 

print shop came over to talk with Hardy 

about development on State Route 29 and 

traffic issues. 

Jeff told the chief he knows every time 

there is a traffic problem on I-70.

Building on discipline 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Focus 3, a discipline building system 

used by Ohio State University and the West 

Jefferson High School football team, is expanding 

across the Jefferson Local School 

District to include staff and school board 

members. 

At their Oct. 8 meeting, board members 

approved goals for 2018-19 to include the 

Focus 3 process to improve school culture, 

in addition to other initiatives. 

“This process will be all-inclusive for all 

buildings and all personnel,” said board 

President David Harper. “The board will 

support the continued focus on academic improvement.” 

Superintendent William Mullett said 

Focus 3 is a self-improvement process already 

in use by football players and coaches. 

“About two years ago, we had an in-service 

and (the program) seemed to resonate 

with us and seemed really efficient,” he reported. 

“Ohio State is really deep into it. 

“It is about concrete advice, and there 

are various steps to the program, such as 

the first, which tells you to learn to ‘press 

pause’ before saying something or taking action. 

Administrators went through two inservices, 

and we wanted to bring it to the 

whole district.” 

Athletic Director Matt Adams said Coach 

Shaun Buescher implemented the program 

for the benefit of the football team. 

“It was a perfect fit for core values,” said 

Adams. “It was perfect for not only the 

coaches, but players as well. Now the teachers 

are going to learn it. I am really excited 

to see it happen throughout the district as 

well.” 

In addition to improving school culture, 

the board set two other goals for the current 

school year. 

They asked the treasurer and superintendent 

to provide a comprehensive plan to 

address financial stability for the present 

year and all those covered in the five-year 

forecast. 

“The plan will include strategies for our 

current and future levies, as well as a needs 

assessment to include a master facilities 

plan,” Harper said. 

Board members are also starting an initiative 

to improve and expand public relations 

efforts. 

“This initiative, in particular, will focus 

on a more robust relationship with the village 

and any other entity including, but not 

limited to, our business community and 

other public agencies,” Harper said.

City’s dog park opens 




The dog park at the corner of Elm Street 

and Keny Boulevard in London is officially 

open. 

The gates are unlocked, the parking lot 

is laid, the rules are posted, and the doggie 

bags and trash cans are in place. 

“We were hoping to get the water line 

run under Elm Street to get the drinking 

fountains installed but with how extensive 

that project will be, we decided to put the 

water line in sometime in the spring,” said 

Mayor Patrick Closser at the Oct. 4 city 

council meeting. 

Progress is being made on another city 

parks and recreation project—installation of 

a lighted volleyball court at the municipal 

swimming pool. The street department has 

dug out and leveled the area and the light 

poles are up. Installation of the court was 

scheduled for Oct. 11 with the fence going 

up the week of Oct. 15. 

“This will be a great addition to the pool 

and our community. I would like to thank 

our donor once again for his generosity to 

fund this whole project and knowing the importance 

of the pool and recreation in London,” 

Closser said. 

The name of the donor has not yet been 

released. The cost of the project is $90,000. 

In council action, council members approved 

by voice vote a request for a liquor license 

for Tony’s Coneys Cafe, which will occupy 

the former Cappy’s Pizza building on 

Lafayette Street. 

Council is considering two changes to the 

requirements for individuals appointed to 

the city’s Board of Public Utilities (BPU). 

Currently, anyone who holds an elective office 

or another appointed office of the city is 

not eligible for appointment to BPU until at 

least one year after the expiration of the 

elected or appointed term they are serving. 

If the changes are approved, that will no 

longer be the case. 

The second change under consideration 

deals with residency requirements. Currently, 

BPU members must be London residents. 

The change would open eligibility to 

anyone who owns property in the city or 

pays taxes to the city. 

“It gives us more options,” said Joe 

Mosier, safety-service director. 

Currently, the three-member BPU board 

has two vacancies. 

Mosier also reported that the city street 

department has officially moved from 103 E. 

High St. to the former Ohio Department of 

Transportation garage at 1460 State Rte. 

42. The fire department is expanding into 

the now vacated space on East High. 

The next London council meeting is set 

for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at 6 E. Second St.
