Time capsule: Not to be opened until 2043 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

It took five men to slide the 1,400-pound 

capstone over the vault containing Plain 

City’s bicentennial time capsule. And that’s 

where the capstone will stay until the capsule 

is opened in 2043. 

Plain City Historical Society (PCHS) 

members and village officials closed and 

sealed the time capsule on the afternoon of 

Nov. 7. The ceremony is the last in a series 

of events celebrating Plain City’s 200th anniversary. 

The monument is located just inside 

the main entrance of Pastime Park, 

near the pioneer statue. 

“This has been a labor of love for the Historical 

Society, especially Annabelle Beach 

Tuller,” said Karen Vance, PCHS vice president. 

“A year ago, Annie asked, ‘What about 

a time capsule?’ Everyone thought it was a 

great idea. No one volunteered, so she took 

the project and ran with it.” 

Rather than set the capsule opening for 

50 or 100 years from now, the Historical Society 

chose 25 years so that the school children 

who submitted drawings and writings 

for the capsule could be among those who 

help to open it. 

“I’m hoping some of those kids will be active 

on council or active in the community or 

even mayor then,” said Tuller, PCHS treasurer. 

Photographs of every business in town 

are part of the time capsule stash. In 1982, 

the historical society’s founders photographed 

every building in the village. 

Today’s members repeated the effort this 

year. Those photos, along with pictures of 

area homes, sights, parades and events are 

contained in an album. 

This summer, PCHS members Jim and 

Judy Minshall Vowell recorded interviews 

with several long-time village residents. The 

resulting video is now preserved in three formats 

and nestled in the time capsule with 

devices that can run all three. 

“We didn’t know what technology would 

be used in 25 years, so we included our ‘ancient’ 

machines,” Vance said. 

The time capsule also contains books, 

newspapers, price lists, menus, toys, coins, 

a percolator coffee pot, a 2018 Jonathan 

Alder High School yearbook, and a pair of 

Crocs shoes. 

All of the items are sealed in acid-free 

archival plastic inside vacuum-sealed bags. 

Some of the bags are in plastic tubs. Everything 

sits in a 70x29x30-inch vault donated 

by Ferguson Funeral Home, in business in 

Plain City for 110 years. The vault sits on a 

concrete slab surrounded by concrete blocks. 

The limestone slab sits on top. Brian Taylor, 

a public works employee with the village, 

designed the monument that surrounds the 

time capsule. Fellow employee Dusty 

Stickel helped him build it. 

At a later date, a plaque will be affixed 

to the monument with this year’s date and 

the date it is to be opened. 

Plain City Mayor Darrin Lane thanked 

everyone who made the time capsule and 

the bicentennial celebration as a whole possible. 

He spoke briefly about the village’s 

past and its future, including its pending 

shift from village to city status following the 

next census. 

“I am sure that 200 years ago, our founding 

fathers could not imagine that what 

started as a small settlement would grow 

into this thriving village, nor could they 

imagine that Plain City would grow to be a 

city by the year 2020,” he said. 

“We live in a special community that is 

moving toward the future while maintaining 

its history and acknowledging its past.”

time capsule is slated to be opened in 25 years. 

Everything in Plain City’s bicentennial time capsule, from a computer 

to a pair of Crocs, is sealed in acid-free plastic inside vacuum-sealed 

bags.

Strong agency relationships help combat drug crime 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

The Madison County Prosecutor’s Office 

had a hand in bringing together agencies 

from across the Midwest to share ideas on 

how to better intercept and prevent the 

movement of illegal drugs in the region. 

Using money confiscated from drug 

seizures in the county, Prosecutor Stephen 

J. Pronai and his department funded the 

Shield Conference, organized by the Ohio 

State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and held 

Sept. 19-20 in Dublin. 

Col. Paul Pride, head of the OSHP, recently 

presented Pronai’s office with a certificate 

of appreciation for making the 

conference possible. 

Representatives of 16 different entities 

from 14 states took part in the conference. 

Among the participants were state highway 

patrols, state police, the federal Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Homeland Security 

Investigations, and the High Intensity 

Drug Trafficking Area program. 

The conference had two main goals, 

Pride said. The first was to find out what 

the agencies were seeing day-to-day in 

terms of illegal drug movement in their 

areas from the country’s southern border. 

“The second goal was to figure out how we 

can shield the Midwest from this scourge of 

illegal narcotics coming in... what one or two 

things could we collaborate on,” Pride said. 

Stronger relationships among agencies 

and more communication across state lines 

were common themes, ones that Pride said 

have aided Ohio in becoming a state to 

watch for successful interdiction methods. 

“We are doing this like no one else is 

doing it,” he said. “You’ve got to have good 

partners, and we do here.” 

Lt. David J. Smith, central region criminal 

patrol commander for OSHP, pointed to 

the Madison County Prosecutor’s Office as 

one of those good partners. He said he appreciates 

not only the funding the office provided 

for the conference, but also the office’s 

ongoing support for training and equipment. 

Pronai said the partnership goes both ways. 

“You’re stopping the flow of dope into 

Ohio. Anything we can do to help you, you 

say the word,” Pronai said. 

Over the past two years, the Prosecutor’s 

Office has put hundreds of thousands of dollars 

in confiscated and forfeited drug funds 

back into the community for rehabilitation, 

prevention and interdiction efforts. Examples 

are as follows: 

* For the West Jefferson post of the Ohio 

State Highway Patrol—night vision goggles, 

training, and a portable X-ray scanner that 

allows officers to search cars for hidden 

drugs without tearing the cars apart; 

* For the West Jefferson Police Department—an 

undercover audio recorder for controlled 

drug buys and new Tasers for all 

officers; 

* For the London Police Department—mobile 

radios, cruiser laptops, administrative 

computers, and assistance 

with purchasing 

a dog and vehicle 

for the K-9 unit; 

* For the Plain 

City Police Department—a 

utility task

vehicle, an education program for highschoolers 

about operating vehicles while intoxicated, 

and assistance with purchasing 

a dog and vehicle for the K-9 unit; 

* For the Madison County Sheriff’’s Office—mobile 

radios, Tasers, K-9 unit equipment, 

and investment in the DARE 

program, including assistance with purchasing 

a DARE car; and 

* For the London Recovery Program—assistance 

with the purchase of a car and a 

truck for transportation needs. 

So far this year in Madison County, the 

OSHP has seized 45 pounds of marijuana, 

34 pounds of methamphetamine, 124 

pounds of heroin and 132 pounds of cocaine. 

Seizures also have included fentanyl, crack, 

and prescription pills. 

Across the state, the numbers are: 3,715 

pounds of marijuana, 452 pounds of 

methamphetamine, 253 pounds of heroin 

and 467 pounds of cocaine.

Improvements made at West Jefferson school facilities 

Upgrades made to track, 

gym, leaky roof, and 

more over the past year 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

School security, safety and system upgrades 

in Jefferson Local Schools over the 

last year, coupled with renovations to a 

sports venue, kept facilities and transportation 

Director Bob Hiss busy over the past 

year. 

“We’ve done a lot of repairs and large 

projects,” Hiss said at the Jefferson Local 

Schools Board of Education meeting on Nov. 

12. 

The running track in the stadium was replaced 

and renovations made to the existing 

shot put and long jump pits. Hallways and 

classrooms were painted. 

In addition to the installation of three additional 

key fob access points, a control system 

in the high school gymnasium was 

upgraded and new cleaning equipment 

using water instead of chemicals was purchased. 

Recurring roof leaks at Norwood, coinciding 

with parapet walls not properly flashed, 

were repaired and a long-time smelly issue 

at the elementary building was fixed. 

The sulfur-like smell at the school, ongoing 

since 2005, was finally traced to incomplete 

plumbing, Hiss reported. 

“I don’t know how long we complained 

about the smell,” said Principal Sue Barte. 

“That was great getting it fixed.” 

According to Hiss, on Sept. 17 a water 

line in a second-story drinking fountain at 

Norwood split, flooding the hallway. He said 

water restoration was completed in one day 

and total restoration is now 95 percent complete, 

except for a few bookcases damaged 

by the water. 

“I don’t know how long we 

complained about the smell. 

That was great getting it fixed.” 

- Sue Barte 

Norwood principal 

In reporting on future projects, Hiss said 

a redesign of the football press box is moving 

ahead. Meetings were held in May and 

September and electrical drawings are 

being prepared for final review. 

Discussions included the needs of football 

personnel, including the home team and visitors, 

the overall dimensions of the press box 

and conceptual design. 

The current press box could be expanded 

by an additional eight feet. The two-story 

structure would house two rooms on the 

first level, one larger and another smaller 

one. The second story, flanked by a wall of 

windows, would be completely open for 

home team use. 

“There’s more headroom and more viewing 

space,” said Hiss. 

Other news 

Superintendent William Mullett shared 

his appreciation for the passage of a ballot 

issue renewing a 1 percent earned income 

tax for seven years. 

It was the first renewal of the original, 

five-year income tax that expires on Dec. 31, 

2019. The tax–projected to bring in approximately 

$1.6 million–is on earned income 

only and does not apply to social security, 

pensions, unemployment and certificates of 

deposit or savings accounts. 

Unlike the West Jefferson village income 

tax, the school tax only impacts residents of 

the school district. 

“I want to say a big thank you to our community 

for their support,” said Mullett. 

“And I want to build on the trust we have 

with our community.” 

London advances in football playoffs

London’s K.J. Price scores on a four yard run on an opening first quarter drive 

against Clinton-Massie in a high school playoff game on Nov. 10. 

London traveled to neutral site Miami 

Trace on Nov. 10 and defeated second 

seeded Clinton-Massie 28 to 7 in the Division 

four Regional semi-final high school 

playoff game. 

London received the opening kick off and 

launched a 14 play drive that culminated 

with K. J. Price’s four yard touchdown run. 

With Eric Noble’s extra point kick, London 

took a 7-0 lead that it never gave up. 

London held on Massie’s first series, and 

then mounted a four play drive highlighted 

by Brennen Spiess’ 56 yard run to the one 

yard line. Price plunged over from the one 

to score, and with Noble’s kick, the score 

was 14-0. 

London held on the next series, and 

started a 13 play drive, that Bricker Thiel 

finished off with a one yard run. After 

Noble’s point after, London led 21-0 with 

1:44 left in the half. Massie then mounted 

a last minute drive, scoring with 7.1 seconds 

left in the half to make the score 21-7. 

In the second half, after holding Massie on 

downs at London’s 19 yard line, the Raiders 

started a 15 play drive of their own that 

ended the deep into Massie’s territory, to 

take the game into the fourth quarter. After 

holding Massie on downs, London started a 

four play drive themselves, ending with 

Spiess’ 25 yard touchdown jaunt. Noble’s 

PAT set the final score at 28-7. 

London was led offensively by Spiess’ 

165 yard rushing and Price’s rushes for 157 

yards. London did not throw a pass, and the 

offensive line was overwhelming. The 

Raider defense was paced by Thiel’s season 

high 16 tackles. Nate Wells with eight tackles 

and Jayvion Stevens with six tackles 

backed up a strong defensive team outing. 

London is now 11-1 for the season and 

faces Cincinnati Wyoming at Centerville at 

7 p.m. Nov. 17 for the regional championship.

Every weekend, we see upsets 

in the sports world. During postgame 

press conferences, we hear 

losing coaches dejectedly explain, 

“We came out flat, stayed flat, and 

didn’t show up to play,” while winning coaches proudly 

spout, “We had great practices all week, we knew we 

were ready, everyone gave their all.” 

The results aren’t by accident and are often predictable. 

During the practice week, one team had successfully 

attained motivation, the other hadn’t. 

Motivation feeds productivity, often the winning edge. 

It’s amazing how routinely that simple variable is 

downplayed, overlooked, or just poorly managed in so 

many settings, including the business world. I recently 

saw a prime example involving a United States Postal 

Service worker. 

Some years past, we got a new mail carrier. We’ve 

had many over the years, so it was nothing new and 

normally I wouldn’t notice. But this one stood out. I was 

jogging down our road and heard someone shout across 

the road to me, “How are you today, Mr. Burton?” It was 

the new mail carrier, and I yelled back, “Fine thanks. 

How about you?” I had never met him and wondered 

how he even knew who I was. In the months that followed, 

I saw him greeting other customers on the route 

by name and wishing them a good day. 

Not long after that encounter, I was working on the 

lawn when he arrived with the mail. He had a distinct 

spring in his walk and a smile. Again, I heard, “How are 

you today, Mr. Burton?” We talked for a minute or two, 

he confirmed he was the new area carrier, I thanked 

him for the mail and he was off. I was so impressed, I 

told my wife about it when I went inside. In all honesty, 

I had never had such a polite and respectful carrier. 

When I was a kid, there was a television show called 

“The Merry Mailman.” I can’t help thinking about that 

show when I see him doing his job every day. He fits my 

childhood image: someone you just liked, who took pride 

in his work, who you could trust and felt comfortable 

with, a part of the neighborhood. 

In the months that followed, we had a few brief discussions 

beyond the traditional 

“hi” you might pry out of a few of 

the other carriers we’ve had. Oh, 

we’ve had some decent ones, some 

good ones, but also some poor ones 

and nothing close to what we’ve 

been lucky to currently have. I’ve 

remained amazed and found it refreshing 

how much he seems to 

truly enjoy his job and the positive 

attitude he displays. If I was still 

in management, I’d jump at someone 

showing his motivation and 

attributes and do everything I 

could to encourage this young 

man’s development and potential. 

Most importantly, from a customer’s point of view— 

and what should be management’s point of interest—he’s 

been the most efficient mail carrier we’ve had in the 

many years we’ve lived here. We’ve had a few carriers 

where it was not uncommon for the mail to be delivered, 

then a half-hour later the block would be filled with 

homeowners exchanging mail. The time the mail arrives 

on the days he works is consistent, as opposed to 

his scheduled off days when it tends to arrive at any 

hour, most often very late as other carriers must do 

their routes first, then fill in for his. 

Recently, I was out front again when this mail carrier 

made the rounds on our block. As he approached, I 

didn’t see the usual bounce in his step. He was looking 

down as he walked. I got a forced monotone, “Hello, Mr. 

Burton.” I asked, “Why so glum?” He replied, “Sorry, 

can’t talk. Someone apparently complained I was stopping 

and talking too much to customers on my route. I 

was critiqued by management.” 

I was dumbfounded as he disappeared down the road 

looking like a character from the AMC series, “The 

Walking Dead.” My thoughts turned to an incident in 

my life from some 45 years ago when my motivation 

went from sky high to rock bottom in minutes. It, too, 

highlights good and bad management. 

I still remember the moment. It left that kind of scar

on my personal esteem, quite possibly what this postal worker will 

now have. The inspector general flew into our air base for a no-notice 

evaluation of our readiness. The entire base went into a frantic, 

potentially pending doom mode. As fate would have it, my missile 

crew was selected to represent our missile wing. We were put into 

the missile control simulator where they threw various complex war 

scenarios and situations at us. It remains one of the more stressful 

few hours of my life. 

Well, I’m happy to say we nearly aced it! The base received a high 

readiness rating. My sheepish pacing around the halls, waiting for 

the results, turned into a strut. A few days later my crew commander 

and I were called into the squadron commander’s office. He 

handed us both a personalized letter of commendation from the 

wing commander. I still proudly read it from time to time. My motivation 

was so high I would have re-upped for the rest of my life at 

that moment. 

But then, after we saluted and prepared to leave the office, the 

squadron commander asked my crew commander to remain behind. 

I went out in the hall and waited. My commander came out. As we 

walked down the hallway, he told me the squadron commander 

asked him to tell me I needed a haircut. Say what? Yes, a haircut 

was in order, it was on my checklist, but I was no Ringo Starr. 

Maybe a little selective clear cutting was in order, but it wasn’t that 

bad and most importantly, that was not the time to convey that. My 

sky-high morale left me. Motivation employed at its best and worst, 

within moments. 

Some years after leaving the military, I was looking for employment. 

I took the postal service exam and later received an offer in 

the mail. By then, I’d already taken a career job. Based on what I’ve 

heard over the years since then and the how this young, high potential 

postal carrier has been needlessly potentially demotivated, 

I’m convinced I made the right decision. 

I was just reading where the USPS lost $65 billion over the last 

11 fiscal years. Its business model remains highly flawed. Its packaging 

and shipping segment are sustainable, but its mail segment 

is not. In fairness, their hands remained tied by the politics of Congress 

and the Postal Regulatory Commission who continue to prevent 

them from implementing many difficult, but common sense and 

necessary fixes to keep up with the times. The band-aid answer then 

always defaults to increasing the price of mail postage, thus ensuring 

more declining mail volume and more self-perpetuating losses. 

With all the ongoing problems the Postal Service faces, the one 

area it can and should control is the motivation of what is still its 

greatest asset—its employees. They need to be productive now more 

than ever in a difficult business environment. Motivation needs to 

be at the forefront. Management needs to understand that concept 

and nourish it, not stifle employee morale. Until they start using 

robots or drones, we don’t need unmotivated zombies roaming the 

streets with the mail.

Jeannette Oliver came with pre-school 

age daughter Aurora in tow. Others came 

with husbands or boyfriends or other members 

of the family. 

Most of the women were moms-to-be, but 

Oliver had given birth six and a half weeks 

prior. Little Gloria Anne was being cared for 

at home while Oliver came to a baby shower 

at the Community Center not far from her 

Mount Sterling home. 

“This is all new to me,” Oliver said as she 

strolled down the hallway of the center 

where a variety of maternal health and 

other exhibitors had set up displays to hand 

out information to the mothers. 

While Oliver talked to Diane Francescon 

about what to do when baby gets sick, her 

daughter, Aurora, was decked out in a pink 

coat and pink gloves, which gave her difficulties 

opening a book. 

When asked how she likes her baby sister, 

she replied, “She cries all the time.” 

And what does she do then. “I sing,” Aurora 

said, and her mother affirmed it. 

Aurora then started singing “I’m a Little 

Teapot” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” 

Oliver was one of 17 moms or moms-tobe 

who attended the baby shower put on by 

the Madison County Department of Job and 

Family Services and offering information 

and items the women may not get elsewhere, 

said Amy Hix, a parent educator. 

The department started this project two 

years ago and stage two events a year, one 

in the spring and one in November, each in 

a different community. 

“In those two years we have reached one 

hundred moms,” she said. 

Large items, like a crib and mattress, 

stroller, and car seat, were purchased with 

monetary donations to the project while 

smaller items were donated by businesses, 

individuals and even inmates at London 

Correctional.

or alcohol, any form of impaired driving is deadly dangerous 

- and illegal. 

Their message is clear: “If You Feel Different, You 

Drive Different. Drive Sober During Thanksgiving.” 

“Too often, while celebrating with family and friends 

over Thanksgiving weekend, impaired drivers get behind 

the wheel,” warned Amber Snyder, health educator. 

“But whether impaired by alcohol, marijuana, or 

anything else, it can be deadly to drive under the influence. 

No one should ever take that risk.” 

Drunk-driving-related crashes spike during the 

Thanksgiving holiday season. According to NHTSA, 

from 2013 to 2017, more than 800 people died in alcohol-impaired-driving 

crashes during the Thanksgiving 

holiday period (6 p.m. Wednesday to 5:59 a.m. Monday), 

making it the deadliest holiday on our roadways. 

During 2017, more than one out of every three traffic 

fatalities during the Thanksgiving holiday period involved 

an alcohol-impaired driver. 

Also, a new threat is emerging: drug-impaired driving. 

From 2007 to 2016, marijuana usage doubled 

among drivers killed in crashes, and in 2016, 42 percent 

of the drivers killed in fatal crashes who were tested, 

tested positive for drugs. 

Excessive alcohol and drug intoxication are also 

prevalent over Thanksgiving due in part to cultural 

phenomenons like “Blackout Wednesday” and “Danksgiving” 

that highlight and even encourage the heavy 

consumption of alcohol and marijuana throughout the 

holiday weekend. 

That is why this Thanksgiving holiday, NHTSA and 

its partners are doing even more to save lives on the 

road. A nationwide social media blitz–featuring hashtags 

#BoycottBlackoutWednesday and #DitchDanksgiving–will 

help deliver some new lifesaving messages 

into the public conversation and encourage positive actions 

that can help reduce danger on the roadways. 

Impaired driving in any form is illegal in all 50 

states. Whether a person is feeling a little high, buzzed, 

or stoned, wasted, or drunk, he or she is impaired and 

should never get behind the wheel. 

Madison County Public Health recommends these 

simple tips to stay safe on the road while celebrating 

this Thanksgiving: 

●Plan a way to safely get home before the Thanksgiving 

festivities begin. 

●Always designate a sober driver. 

●If you are impaired, take a taxi, call a sober friend 

or family member, or use public transportation. 

●Download NHTSA’s SaferRide mobile app, which 

helps you identify a sober ride home and your location 

for pickup. 

●If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact 

local law enforcement. 

●If you know someone who is about to drive while 

impaired, take their keys and help them make safe, 

sober travel arrangements to where they are going. 

By working together, we can save lives and help keep 

America’s roadways safe.

Sidewalk work 

Messenger photo by Sandi Latimer 

Igel employees Vince Rike, (left) Justin McCall and Brian Cofer, pause in their work in front of the West 

Jefferson Middle and High School building. They had put down concrete for a sidewalk. The work was estimated 

to cost at least $5,000, according to the workers, but the sidewalk was donated because John 

Igel, owner of the Columbus company, likes to donate to charity, especially schools and Catholic churches. 

The work was done Nov. 12.

Holiday memories become richer in the passing years 

Toyland…once you pass its borders, you 

can never return again. 

As a child of the late 1950s and early 

1960s, there were no mega-stores filled with 

aisle upon aisle of dolls in various stages of 

maturity – “Barbie” had just made her 

debut and was still years away from appearing 

in multiple career occupations. 

Boxed games only occupied the space of 

an end cap, not shelf after shelf after shelf, 

and appealed mainly to children or families–no 

naughty party games designed to 

entertain only adults. 

That was what playing cards were for. 

Half of the sixth floor at Lazarus in 

downtown Columbus was filled with toys 

and was the place to go, especially at Christmas 

time, to fill wish lists. 

Visits were always planned, day-long excursions 

and included stops with my mother 

in the dress department, housewares and 

lunch in the Colonial Room before reaching 

the Holy Grail–the sixth floor. 

Back at home, boys played with their 

“G.I. Joes,” baseballs and bats or with plastic 

bazookas in the trenches of new home 

construction sites. 

Count me in that last group because I 

was the lone girl in a sea of neighborhood 

maleness and adapted quickly to their mode 

of play. 

One year my grandparents thought I 

would like a form of new technology–an 

electric toothbrush. 

I was ten years old and wasn’t a fan of 

the old technology. 

I envied my cousin–who received a football 

and probably would have been more appreciative 

of an electric toothbrush than I. 

So, a couple of days after Christmas, 

when my grandparents were made aware of 

my disappointment, 

I stood next to my grandmother at the 

S&H Green Stamp redemption counter at 

Big Bear. 

I walked out of the grocery store, football 

in hand, ready to play with the boys. 

Speaking of “The Bear” (my grandma’s 

phraseology), I loved the “toy wall” nestled 

between the canned goods and cleaning supply 

aisles. 

Imagine, going into a grocery store, turning 

a corner, and coming face-to-face with plastic 

bags of dinosaurs, army men or cowboys. 

Cheap, imitation Barbies smiled down at 

me with perpetual grins and legs that broke 

off as soon as they were moved. 

Jacks, paddle balls and mini-bowling 

pins in containers hung precariously on 

steel rods next to flocked animals. Magic 

column 

Places 

slates with their plastic 

pointers awaited 

young artists. 

I was amazed to 

find these toys in a 

market or drug store. 

One time, my mother 

won a small shopping 

trip to Big Bear and 

let me pick out one 

toy from the “wall.” 

I felt like I won the 

mother lode at an 

FAO Schwartz toy 

store. 

I remember when 

potato chip companies 

stapled coloring books 

to their bags during the holidays. 

Linda 

Dillman 

I couldn’t wait to get home on a Saturday 

morning in December, rip the Conn’s chip 

bag apart to get to the coloring book and 

spend the next hour with my crayons in artful 

bliss. 

The best and most unexpected places to 

dream and plot and plan were the local 

hardware stores, at least to me and only 

during the weeks leading up to Christmas. 

As a kid, I never enjoyed going there, but, as 

if by magic, toys suddenly appeared around 

the holidays and I was the one bugging my 

father about making a “Zettler run.” 

While my father looked for electrical 

wire, I stood transfixed in front of shelves 

lined with farm playsets filled with plastic 

animals and metal barns. 

At the end of the aisle, there were always 

brand new bikes, shiny red wagons and kidsized 

wheel barrows. 

Don’t get me wrong. I loved going to 

Lazarus and wandering through aisle after 

aisle of neatly stacked toys, but the unexpected 

joy of the seasonal toy section at the 

hardware store was more magical to the 

younger version of me. 

It was like seeing a shooting star or a 

unicorn–a rare happenstance that you 

can’t forget. 

As long as I have these memories, those 

Toyland borders won’t be breeched and that 

young girl who played in the construction 

trenches and colored the potato chip pages 

lives on.
