Change in fire 

protection for 

Somerford Twp. 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Somerford Township is changing its fire protection service 

provider from the London Fire Department to the Central Townships 

Joint Fire District. 

The township trustees took the first step toward that transition 

on Nov. 14 when they voted unanimously to accept Central Townships’ 

invitation to become a member of the fire district. 

The next step will be to terminate the contract with London. The 

current contract runs through 2023. Either entity can terminate 

the contract with a 12-month notice; termination can happen sooner 

if both parties agree to an alternate date. Bill Laney, Somerford 

Township trustee, said that by the end of this year, the trustees 

will submit written notice to London of their desire to terminate 

the contract. 

In October, both Central Townships and London presented proposals 

to the trustees. 

Central Townships invited Somerford Township to become a 

member of the fire district. Deercreek, Monroe, Oak Run, Paint and 

Union townships are already part of the district. Each participating

spirit. We want to see people walking around town, 

supporting the businesses, having fun. And it’s something

Mount Sterling council is getting the 

word out about a new recycling option in the 

village. 

“On the fourth Monday of every month, 

the village will be partnering with the Ohio 

Solid Waste District, the Pleasant Township 

Trustees and the United Church to offer 

complimentary recycling to residents,” said 

council member Becky Martin. “Taking 

place at the vacant lot on the corner of High 

and Columbus streets in Mount Sterling, 

residents can drop off a variety of their recyclables.” 

From 9 to 11:30 a.m. on the designated 

Mondays, residents can drop off paper, 

newspapers, magazines, cardboard, aluminum 

cans, steel food cans, glass food bottles 

and jars and No. 1 and No. 2 plastic 

bottles and jugs. 

“Please remember you cannot leave your 

recycling there if there is not an attendant 

to take it from you,” Martin said. “If you 

leave it there without someone there, that 

is breaking the law because that would be 

illegal dumping.” 

Martin also stated that the collection site 

does not accept household hazardous waste, 

electronics, tires or other solid waste. 

Improper disposal of garbage has been an 

ongoing issue in the village. The problem recently 

resulted in a backup on West Main 

Street, according to Courtney Bricker, fiscal 

officer and clerk of council. 

“We had a sewer issue on West Main 

Street and taking care of that was a two-day 

event,” Bricker said. “We found a lot of items that were not disposed 

of correctly, including solution containers and a lot of disposable 

wipes. These materials will not break down in the sewer system 

and instead get lodged in there and that is what happened here.” 

Bricker said the village will be opening other manhole covers to 

make sure items aren’t lodged in other parts of the sewer system. 

Also during the meeting, council members thanked residents for 

showing support of veterans during the Veterans Day ceremony at 

the town gazebo. Residents can continue to show their support by 

purchasing bricks to be placed around the veterans monument at 

the gazebo. The bricks can be engraved with the names of veterans 

or current military service men or women, or with well wishes to 

regional military. The bricks come in two sizes, 4x8 inches for $50 

and 8x8 inches for $100.

wishes next to the live reindeer display in the McDonald’s side 

parking lot off of Main Street, just north of High Street. In case of 

bad weather, he will move inside to nearby Trinity Episcopal 

Church, 10 E. Fourth St. 

At 6 p.m., the DLA will pay tribute to veterans in a ceremony at 

the veterans monument on the Madison County Courthouse lawn. 

A uniformed serviceman will read the names of all deceased veterans 

from Madison County who served in war from the Korean War 

forward. Additionally, anyone is welcome to pay tribute to a veteran 

by writing the veteran’s name on a ribbon to be placed on a tree set 

up next to the monument. The ribbons will be available at the site 

for the remainder of the holiday season. 

Throughout the evening, horse-drawn wagon rides will run between 

Cowling Park and First Street, the Music Men barbershop 

quartet will stroll the streets, performing a variety of tunes, and 

costumed characters will hand out candy. A special backdrop for 

free photo ops will be set up outside Fine Designs & Interiors, 11 

S. Main St.; bring your own camera or camera phone. 

A wreath auction will take place in the parking lot at Huntington 

Bank, 2 E. High St. Participants will place bids in sealed boxes. 

The wreaths, all decorated in Christmas themes, will go to the highest 

bidders. 

Businesses and other organizations in the downtown area will 

host open houses and activities and offer refreshments. The DLA 

has created a streetscape map that shows which locations are participating 

and in what ways. Free copies of the maps can be found 

in downtown retail businesses. 

“Olde Fashioned Christmas gives people a chance to meet 

friends downtown. It’s fun, entertaining and enjoyable,” said DLA 

member Jack Starr. “Plus it’s a chance to show people that the 

downtown is growing and rejuvenating.”

display by the Mount Sterling Community Museum. Judging for 

the Ugly Christmas Shirt contest is set for 2:30 p.m. 

Visitors also are invited to make Christmas greeting cards for 

veterans at the VA Hospital in Chillicothe. Each child who visits 

Santa will receive a gift. Visitors can vote on their favorite gingerbread 

houses, as well as bid on a Christmas quilt created by the 

center’s Sew Social Ladies. The quilt silent auction runs Nov. 26- 

Dec. 21. 

“The quilt is beautiful. It has a rural farm theme and is machine-quilted. 

I’m sure just because of where we live, it will be very 

popular,” Tomlinson said. 

After the Community Center finishes its activities at 4 p.m., the 

Chamber will continue the fun into the evening. Churches, organizations, 

crafters and vendors will be back on the town hall lawn 

from 4 to 8 p.m. Businesses will stay open late for holiday open 

houses. The caricaturist and face painter will return from 4:30-6 

p.m. An illuminated parade is set for 6 p.m. 

To participate in the parade or for a sales space at the Merry 

Market, call Becky Martin at (740) 506-0006 or (740) 831-4200.

Proud of London 

Red Raider team 

letter 

As the clock ticked down at the 

London High School football team’s 

regional championship game on Nov. 

17, a lot of different emotions could be felt from everyone in attendance. 

The overwhelming emotion I felt was pride—pride in our 

team, pride in the Red Raider Nation, and pride in our community. 

I know the outcome is not what everyone would have preferred 

but the accomplishments of this team are amazing. It has been 23 

years since the Red Raiders have made it to the regional championship; 

this only has been done two other times, 1994 and 1995. 

As the players were walking off the field, I had the honor of 

shaking their hands. Seeing the looks on their faces really made 

me feel for these young men. Being in that same position over 20 

years ago, I knew what they were going through and I told each one 

of them to not to hang their heads. These players should walk tall 

for what they have done. 

This program seemed to have difficulties for many years. Then 

Coach Kyle Cutler came, brought in his coaching staff and changed 

the mentality of London High School football. These players bought 

into his vision and became highly successful. They knew, just as in 

life, that success would not come without hard work. These young 

men are some of the finest people I have ever met, and I wish them

I voted for London 

Mayor Patrick Closser. I 

voted “no” on the city’s 2- 

mill levy for emergency medical services (EMS) on the 

Nov. 8 ballot. 

If it ain’t broke, do not fix it. I see this as a power 

struggle, nothing else. 

We have been happy with and well served by the 

Madison County Emergency Medical District for 

decades. They are professionals and are very caring. I 

have no doubt that the London Fire Department would 

do a fine job, also. However, we already have a welltuned 

emergency medical department. So, why change 

it? The city says it has been great stewards of our taxpayer 

dollars. Then show us where you have the money 

to run the EMS for this city. 

Before the election, the mayor said that no matter if 

the people voted the levy down, the city would move forward 

with providing EMS through the city fire department. 

After the election, he said, “I have all the 

confidence in my administration, our citizens and especially 

our fire and EMS department, and am certain 

that we will be able to pass this levy in the future.” 

We do not live in a dictatorship city. We live in a 

democracy. The people have spoken. Let the fire department 

do what it does best. Let the Madison County 

Emergency Medical District do what it does best.

London 

Stop misusing 

parking spots 

I am a handicapped, 

disabled Vietnam veteran, 

and I’m looking for 

help in stopping the misuse of handicap parking and 

handicap placards. 

An example: I recently asked a young couple that 

was parking with a blue placard at a store in London if 

they were handicapped. The man in the driver’s seat 

said his mother gave him permission to use the handicap 

placard. 

Most of the time, I am the only person with a handicap 

plate in the parking lot. All the rest are what I call 

“hanger people.” I see lazy people every day parking and 

abusing the handicap parking places. I have seen people 

put up a blue hanger and run into local grocery stores. 

When I brought this to the attention of the store managers, 

they told me nothing could be done, that if someone 

has a blue hanger they are considered handicapped. 

I have contacted the mayor and the police department 

several times, and nothing is done. 

It is so bad, I see people drive up and leave their older 

parents or grandparents in the car so they can go into 

the store and shop. Of course, the handicapped person 

is in the passenger seat. I have fallen and bloodied my 

knees and elbows because I could not find a handicap 

parking place. 

Black Lives Matter, the Me Too movement, LGB 

rights—all have agendas. What about the handicapped?

Heated discussion over results of EMS levy 



The outcome of London’s 2-mill tax levy 

ballot issue for emergency medical services 

(EMS) was the subject of heated discussion 

at city council’s Nov. 15 meeting. 

The levy failed in the Nov. 6 general election, 

1,296 (45 percent)-1,576 (55 percent). 

In September, the city split from the Madison 

County Emergency Medical District 

(EMD) and will provide its own emergency 

medical services through the city fire department 

starting Jan. 1, 2019. The levy 

would have helped to fund those services. 

About the levy outcome, resident Doug 

Pyles said to council, “If you accept this as 

anything but a mandate from what the residents 

of the city think about this program, 

you’ve got your heads in the sand.” 

Council member Rex Castle stated that 

tax levies often don’t pass on the first try. 

He said the Nov. 6 attempt failed by a small 

margin, 5 percent, and that the city would 

have more time to educate voters on the 

issue prior to a second attempt. 

Later in the meeting, council member 

Henry Comer, who opposed the split from 

the EMD, stated, “Since we are voted in by 

the people and for the people, as a council 

we are here as the voice of the community. 

We’re here to echo their wishes and not pursue 

our own agenda.” 

He continued, “To suggest that the community 

is confused and picked the wrong option 

is another blow to their intelligence.” 

Comer said the split from the EMD was 

designed to force the community to vote for 

the newly formed city-run emergency medical 

services. 

Council member Anthony Smith rebutted, 

saying council listened to people’s 

concerns about the issue and answered their 

questions. 

“To say that we’re pushing anything 

against the people is disgraceful and disgusting,” 

he said. “We pushed forward to save people 

tax dollars. That’s what we did. And we 

voted to make sure that people were safer.” 

Council president Joe Russell said that 

the issue was obviously a difficult one with 

people on both sides. He said council made 

the decision to split from the EMD and is 

moving forward with its own services. 

“People are still talking about this as if 

they are going to say something now that 

we’re going to change our mind,” Russell 

said. “We should all be getting behind the 

fire department and their efforts to be able 

to provide this service.” 

He stated that he and other city leaders 

will continue to keep tabs on how the transition 

is going, keeping up constant communication 

with Fire Chief Todd Eades. 

“We’re ready to move on, and I hope the 

city is, as well,” Russell said. 

Vacant buildings 

Council continues to discuss a proposal 

to assess fees on vacant business properties. 

Comer introduced legislation last month 

proposing a program to identify, register 

and inspect vacant commercial and industrial 

buildings. Once a building is identified 

as vacant, the city would charge the property 

owner an initial registration fee of $400 

followed by annual, escalating renewal fees. 

The focus would be on buildings that could 

become eyesores or present fire or other 

safety hazards. 

Russell said he supports finding ways to 

make property owners maintain their properties 

but thinks fees would add another 

burden. 

Castle wondered about the costs to the city 

for code enforcement. Comer said the fees are 

designed to cover that cost. Joe Mosier, 

safety-service director, said the model assumes 

property owners will pay the fees. 

Questions also have been raised about 

putting a cap on fees and specific scenarios, 

such as strip malls with partial vacancies. 

Comer agreed council needs to continue 

looking into the different facets of the proposal. 

He noted that committee discussions 

have generated ideas for other programs 

that would help business owners and spur 

economic development. 

Both Russell and Castle said the city also 

needs to look into addressing vacant residential 

properties. 

ODOT/fire renovations 

The city will not be spending $100,000 on 

renovations and repairs at the former Ohio 

Department of Transportation (ODOT) 

garage, which now houses the city’s street 

department, or at the fire department, 

which is expanding into the street department’s 

former space. 

Council voted down legislation that 

would have moved funding from one fire 

budget line to another to pay for renovations 

at both sites. 

“Basically, what’s happened is Bill has 

been able to take care of some things with 

your current budget,” Castle said, referring 

to repairs Bill Long, street superintendent, 

and his staff have completed in-house at the 

garage. 

Castle added that Chief Eades does not 

have firm cost estimates for renovations at

2019 budget 

Council passed the city budget for 2019. 

Castle said the numbers reflect a 4.5 percent 

increase in expenses, which follows 

previous years’ trends. As he has done in 

previous comments about the budget, Castle 

praised the administration’s track record for 

adhering to the budget.

George Bailey and the people of Bedford 

Falls will be on stage in Rosedale Bible College’s 

(RBC) production of “It’s a Wonderful 

Life—A Live Radio Play” Nov. 30-Dec. 2. 

Director Christa J. Wolf chose Joe 

Landry’s adaptation of the 1946 Frank 

Capra film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” in part 

because it respects “the essence of this timeless 

classic while giving it a refreshing twist.” 

For those who have never been to a live 

radio play, Wolf suggests imagining “something 

similar to the disclaimer before a sitcom: 

‘filmed in front of a live studio 

audience.’” 

Landry’s retelling of the film is a play 

within a play. A group of professional actors 

joins with talented individuals from a local 

radio station to tell the story of George Bailey 

and his home town. They voice over 50 characters 

at several microphones, sing jingles 

from sponsors, and use items like dried beans, 

rigatoni, and a bike horn for sound effects. 

Most people know the story. George Bailey 

is at the end of his rope, struggling to 

keep his business afloat as the country is 

still in recovery from the Great Depression 

and World War II. With mounting pressure 

to provide for his family, pay off personal 

loans, support his friends, and deal with Mr. 

Potter, the greedy tycoon of Bedford Falls, 

SOMERFORD 


township pays 4.75 mills for fire protection 

and each township board has a voting representative 

on the fire district board. The 

Madison County Emergency Medical District 

(EMD) operates a station out of the 

Somerford Township hall; the township 

pays the EMD 3 mills for emergency medical 

services. Central Townships proposed 

operating fire services out of the same 

space, equipping the station with an engine 

George contemplates what his 

life is worth. In a moment of 

desperation, George is met by 

an angel, Clarence Oddbody, 

who shows him what the town 

would be like had he never 

been born. 

“The impact that one life 

can make for good,” says Wolf, 

“is a profound reminder that 

each of us has greater value 

than we may realize.” The 

story also touches on the nature 

of “true success.” 

Wolf says the challenge of a 

play like this is “to authentically 

represent the audible aspects 

of a radio drama” while 

performing for a modern audience 

who is more dependent on 

visual stimulation. 

With that in mind, she has 

tried to add blocking that is entertaining, 

but subtle enough not to be distracting. 

She hopes that people who attend 

RBC’s production will be able to get the 

same enjoyment out of the play whether 

“they choose to sit back with their eyes 

closed in nostalgia or attentively watch the 

action for the first time.” 

and staffing it with three fire fighters. 

London proposed adding emergency medical 

services (EMS) to the contracted fire 

services it already provides to Somerford 

Township. In September, the city split from 

the EMD and, starting Jan. 1, 2019, will be 

providing EMS services within the London 

city limits through the city fire department. 

Currently, the city provides fire services to 

Somerford Township for 3.1 mills. The city 

initially proposed providing the township 

with fire and EMS services for a total of 5 

mills and equipping and staffing the township 

facility with an engine and three fire 

fighter/paramedics or fire fighter/EMTs. 

Laney said one concern he had about the 

city’s proposal was that one three-person 

crew would be handling fire and EMS calls. 

When the township informed the city they 

were leaning toward Central Townships’ 

offer, the city came back with multiple options 

with different levels of staffing, running 

from 5 mills to 7.75 mills, said Joe 

Mosier, the city’s safety-service director. 

The 7.75 mills is equivalent to what township 

residents will pay for fire protection 

from Central Townships and emergency 

medical services from the EMD. 

Before the trustees voted to accept Central 

Townships’ offer, Laney praised the 

London Fire Department for the services it 

has provided to the district. 

“They have done a wonderful job. We 

haven’t had any qualms whatsoever with 

London,” he said. 

After the vote, Laney noted that Somerford 

Township has contracted with the EMD 

for emergency medical services since the 

EMD’s inception 37 years ago. 

“We could not see any reason to make a 


Rosedale presents ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ 

Rosedale Bible College’s production of “It’s a Wonderful 

Life–A Live Radio Play” features actors producing a 

live radio version of the story from Frank Capra’s film. 

(From left) Andrea Lyndaker, Josh Mast, Krista Yoder 

and Will Brimmer portray a cheerful crowd, making 

background noise using silverware, glasses and plates. 

Performances are at 7 p.m. on Friday 

and Saturday and at 2 p.m. at half price on 

Saturday and Sunday. Tickets can be purchased 

online, by phone, or at the door, if 

still available. Visit rosedale.edu or call

2270 Rosedale Rd., Irwin. 

switch,” he said. 

As for the membership with Central 

Townships and representation on the fire 

district board, he stated, “We have a seat at 

the table. That’s the big thing.” 

When the township’s fire contract with 

London is terminated, the township will 

merge into Central Townships’ existing 

4.75-mill levy. The difference between what 

township residents pay now for fire service 

(3.1 mills) and what they will be paying 

after the transition (4.75 mills) equates to 

an additional $57 per year per $100,000 of 

property valuation, Laney said. 

The current Central Townships levy expires 

at the end of 2021, at which time it will 

be placed back on the ballot. 

The timing of the transition will depend 

on the agreement made between Somerford 

Township and London. With a 12-month notice, 

London would continue to provide fire 

services to the township through 2019. 

Central Townships Chief Brian Bennington 

said the fire district board will start 

planning now for the changes to come. The 

board’s next meeting is at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 28 

at the Deercreek Township Hall, 75 Middle 

St., London. 

Laney further noted that a merge of the 

Central Townships Fire District and the 

Madison County EMD is a possibility down 

the road. With Somerford joining the fire 

district, the fire district and the EMD will 

be serving the same six townships. 

The Somerford Township trustees board 

includes Laney, Jim Moran and Ernie 

Sparks. The trustees meet at 7 p.m. the second 

Wednesday of each month at the township 

hall, 91 State Rte. 56 NW (the former 

Somerford school building).


Rotary Student of the Month: Madison-Plains 

Joyful in all situations 

The London Rotary Club is 

pleased to honor senior student 

Sierra Lapasky as Madison- 

Plains High School’s November 

Student of the Month. 

Students of the month are 

selected by school administrators 

based on their academic 

and extracurricular achievement 

and positive character. 

Lapasky has a 3.717 grade 

point average and ranks 

fourth in her class. Her favorite 

course is College Credit 

Plus western civilization. She has been a 

member of National Honor Society for two 

years. She has run track all four years of 

high school and has played soccer for three 

years. She received MVP honors and became 

a captain for both teams. 

Lapasky has been a member of Key Club, 

Alliance Club and the school newspaper. She 

has served as a coach for youth soccer and as 

a student council representative. As a freshman, 

she was elected vice-president of her 

class and has been elected as president of her 

class the past three years. She has been 

named a scholar athlete, made honor roll, 

and received the Coach’s Award in track. 

When asked to name a school staff member 

who inspires her, she named Jenny 

Wethington. 

“No matter how hectic her 

life and schedule may get, she 

perseveres and continues to 

show how open, accepting and 

kind a person she is, and I 

strive to be that way, as well,” 

Lapasky said. 

Wethington commented, 

“When I think of Sierra Lapasky, 

the first word that 

comes to my mind is joy. In all 

that she does, no matter the 

situation, Sierra brings joy. 

Sierra Lapasky Whether she is captaining the 

soccer team in an unwinnable game, befriending 

those who may be a little different, 

attacking her strenuous class load, or 

coaching my son’s soccer team (imagine 14 

very excitable 6- and 7-year-olds), Sierra, 

with her positive nature and upbeat personality, 

adds joy to any situation.” 

After graduation, Lapasky plans to attend 

college and study pharmaceutical sciences. 

She is the daughter of Donna and 

Craig Lapasky. 

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 good will and 

peace. 

Rotary Student of the Month: London 

Kind and very driven 

Raiders end season as 

regional runner-up 

The London Red Raiders’ magic carpet 

ride in the Div. IV state football tournament 

came to an end Nov. 17 when they 

lost to a talented Cincinnati Wyoming 

squad 28-0 at Centerville High School. 

The Raiders and the Cowboys traded 

possessions into the second quarter, when 

London took the ball over in good position 

on Wyoming’s 46-yard line. After a 10- 

yard penalty on the first play moved the 

ball back to their 41-yard line, the Raiders 

lost a fumble at their own 38-yard line. 

Wyoming scored in three plays, culminated 

by athletic quarterback Evan 

Prater’s 26-yard touchdown run. The point 

after was good, and the Red trailed 7-0. 

London’s Brennen Spiess took the ensuing 

kickoff back 34 yards, and London was 

set with a first down on the Cowboy’s 41- 

yard line. London moved to a fourth and 

six at the 27 when their pass was intercepted. 

Wyoming marched 11 plays for a 

touchdown on Prater’s 22-yard pass to Joey 

Edmonds, and with the point after, the 

Raiders went into halftime trailing 14-0. 

Wyoming took the second half kickoff 

and, 11 plays and 90 yards later, scored on 

a touchdown pass from Prater to Edmonds, 

moving the score to 21-0. London’s 

K.J. Price returned the kickoff 45 yards, 

but the Red was forced to a four and out. 

Early in the fourth quarter, after an exchange 

of punts, Prater ran untouched for 

a 70-yard touchdown to set the final score 

at 28-0. 

London’s ace running backs, Price and 

Spiess, were held to 76 yards and 46 

yards, respectively, by the tough Cowboy 

defense. Bricker Thiel and Nate Wells led 

the Red with eight tackles each; Richie 

Geib added six; and Tyler Tobin notched 

five to round out the top tacklers for London. 

Even with the loss, London recorded 

one of its most successful seasons in the 

last 25 years, finishing as regional runnerup 

and achieving an 11-2 record on the 

season. 

After the bus trip back to London, a 

short ceremony spotlighted the team’s 12 

senior players, who each rang the victory 

bell one last time.

The London Rotary Club is 

pleased to honor senior Amaya 

Siddiqi as London High 

School’s November Student of 

the Month. 

Students of the month are 

selected by school administrators 

based on their academic 

and extracurricular achievement 

and positive character. 

Siddiqi has a 3.9 grade point 

average and ranks first in her 

class. She states that her favorite 

class is anatomy.

Honor Society president, having been 

inducted as a sophomore. She is a four-year 

member of Quick Recall and a three-year 

member of the Thespian Society. She is a 

four-year member of the varsity soccer 

team, serving as captain and receiving honorable 

mention honors her junior year and 

second-team honors her senior year. 

When asked to name a school staff person 

who has inspired her, she named 

Janelle Wilson, stating, “She cares deeply 

for her students and shows it through her 

hard work and dedication to her classes.” 

Wilson commented, “Although I've only 

been Amaya's Spanish teacher for a few 

Amaya Siddiqi 

months, I first had the pleasure 

of meeting her while I was 

working as choreographer for 

the high school musical last 

spring. That is where I got to 

know the type of person and 

student Amaya is: hard-working, 

sweet, kind and extremely 

driven. She was always the first 

to volunteer when I needed help 

demonstrating anything Her 

leadership skills proved to be 

very strong during our musical 

practices. Then this year in our 

Spanish 4 class, I have been 

able to see her academic success. She has a 

work ethic and determination to succeed far 

greater than most. She is always up for a 

challenge and never gives in until she has exceeded 

her own expectations.” 

After graduation, Siddiqi plans to attend 

the University of Cincinnati to study physical 

therapy. She is the daughter of Zahid 

and Jenny Siddiqi of London.

dating back to 1929. It is a member of Rotary

St. Patrick School 

donating books 

St. Patrick School in London recently hosted their 6th Annual 

Scholastic Book Fair. Once again, the school participated in 

Scholastics All for Books, a program through which schools partner 

with community organizations to provide new books to children in 

need. 

The Scholastic Possible Fund matches every donation received 

through the program and distributes the books through Kinds In 

Need Foundation, Reader to Reader, National Center for Families 

Learning, and similar organizations. 

This year, St. Patrick School held a loose-change coin drive during 

the book fair. Students and their families donated a total of $724 

to purchase books for HELP House in London. That will make possible 

the donation of 140 books to pre-schoolers through teenagers. 

St. Patrick School’s mission is: “Academic excellence and the fulfillment 

of self for the glory of God.” An integral part of this mission 

is service learning and service to the community. 

The All for Books program affords 

the school the opportunity to help children 

locally and around the country experience 

the joy of reading.

purchased the following 

classifieds. Determining 

the value of their service 

or product is advised by 

this publication. In order 

to avoid misunderstandings, 

some advertisers do 

not offer “employment”

order selling and other 

businesses at home. Under 

NO circumstance 

should you send any 

money in advance or give 

the client your checking, 

license ID or credit card 

numbers. Also beware of 

ads that claim to guarantee

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All
