South Solon goes 

after state grants

Casey O’Neill hauled in suitcase after suitcase, 

each one carefully labeled: “blouse juvenile petite 2- 

petite 4;” “jacket size 6-8,” and so on. 

From the suitcases, she pulled velvet jackets in 

blues, burgundies and emerald greens, blouses layered 

with lace, and skirts that flowed to the floor. At the 

end of one clothing rack sat a box overflowing with 

broad-brimmed hats in a riot of hues, from delicate 

pink to look-at-me silver. 

“I’ve been collecting vintage clothes for 25 years. 

It’s an obsession,” said O’Neill, who has amassed her 

trove of throwback threads at thrift stores and church

rummage sales. 

O’Neill has put the collection to good and varied use 

over the years. When she taught fourth and fifth grade 

at Mount Sterling Elementary, she outfitted students 

for a “Famous Ohioans” segment. She is a great costume 

resource for community theater productions. 

And for the past six years, much of her collection has 

been on display—on people—at the Victorian Sweetheart 

Tea, a Friends of Mount Sterling Public Library 

fundraiser. 

Once again, O’Neill is lending out pieces from her 

collection to anyone planning to attend the tea, which 

will take place this year from 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 16 at

The village of South Solon hopes to nab state funding for everything 

from water and sewer plant upgrades to drainage, street and 

park improvements. 

Mayor Joseph Haney attended the first hearing for this year’s 

round of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, 

held Jan. 29 in the Madison County commissioners office. 

Administered through the state Office of Community Development, 

CDBG funds go toward improvements that benefit low- to 

moderate-income populations. With help from Whitaker Wright of 

CDC of Ohio, the county’s CDBG coordinator, South Solon officials 

plan to apply for two types of CDBG funding. 

The first is a critical infrastructure grant. With this grant program, 

a community can apply for up to $500,000 for a single project 

that focuses on a major repair or upgrade. South Solon’s focus is its 

water and sewer plants. 

According to Haney, both plants need new generators and the 

auger at the sewer plant needs to be replaced. Also, the Environmental 

Protection Agency has been urging the village to install 

water meters. 

Applications for critical infrastructure funding are due in June. 

South Solon officials have already started the process. They completed 

an income survey in December, visiting 100 homes to determine 

the percentage of residents with low to moderate incomes. The 

number came back as 69.7 percent, which makes the village eligible 

to apply. 

The next step, Wright said, is to secure cost estimates for the 

project. Haney said he is working with an engineer to get those 

costs. Once the application is filled out, Wright will run it by state 

officials in a preliminary screening. If the state officials think the 

application has merit, Wright will file the application and wait to 

hear if it is funded. 

This fall, South Solon will begin work on an application for a second 

type of CDBG funding—a neighborhood revitalization grant. The 

application is due in June 2019. In the past, a community could 

apply for up to $500,000 through this program. Wright said there’s 

a chance the state will raise the limit to $750,000. 

A neighborhood revitalization grant can cover a variety of projects. 

South Solon officials haven’t pinned down their list, but possibilities 

include improvements to streets, drainage, fire protection 

and the park. The money also can be used to tear down houses. 

The village of Midway secured a neighborhood revitalization 

grant last year. (The funding is offered every other year.) Village 

officials hope to bid out the work this summer and complete most 

of it this year. Projects include installation of a tornado siren, two 

new cisterns for fire protection, better drainage on the east side of 

State Route 38, and a new sidewalk between South and West 

streets. Repairs are planned for North, South and Broad streets. 

The park will get a walking path, 12 handicap-compliant parking 

spaces, and new playground equipment, benches and picnic tables.

Mt. Sterling looks to hire village administrator 

By Amanda Ensinger 

Staff Writer 

Personnel changes could be in the works for the village 

of Mount Sterling. 

“Recently, I was called to a meeting with the state 

auditor who said we have to get a village administrator,” 

said Mayor Billy Martin at the Jan. 28 village 

council meeting. “As you are aware, (Courtney Bricker) 

is fulfilling 75 percent of what this job entails, but we 

need someone who can do this job all the time.” 

For more than a year, Bricker has been fulfilling her 

duties as fiscal officer and clerk of council, as well as 

performing most of the duties associated with the village 

administrator position. Mount Sterling has been 

without an administrator since terminating John Martin’s 

contract in the fall of 2017. 

“I think this will be a great opportunity for the village,” 

Bricker said about filling the position. “Where I 

lack or don’t have time to do things, this person will be 

able to step in.” 

The village administrator’s duties include overseeing 

village employees, managing budget appropriations, requesting 

bids and contracts for improvement projects, 

ensuring Environmental Protection Agency compliance, 

researching and applying for grants, and making purchasing 

and cost-saving decisions. 

The financial commission committee, which includes 

Mayor Martin, council president pro tem David Timmons, 

and representatives from the state, will discuss 

the administrator position during a meeting at 10 a.m. 

Feb. 5 at town hall. A special meeting of council is likely 

to follow within a few days, with the job being posted 

within a couple of weeks, according to Bricker. 

While council members did not voice opposition to 

hiring an administrator, some were concerned about the 

State Auditor’s Office continuing to tell Mount Sterling 

leadership how to run the village. 

“I have no problem hiring an administrator. My issue 

is with the state auditor and them telling us what to 

do,” said council member Lowell Anderson. “We can 

have a village administrator position without filling it. 

I am sick of the state auditor telling us what to do and 

this needs to stop.” 

The state has been overseeing the village’s financials 

since declaring the village to be in a state of fiscal emergency 

in June 2017. 

Council also discussed the need to hire additional 

staff. Recently, the water plant operator resigned, leaving 

the village with two full-time laborists—the street utility/mechanic 

and the waste water technician. Previously, 

the village had five to seven full-time labor staffers. The 

village has posted the water operator position. 

“It may take us longer to respond to certain things 

with this limited staff,” Bricker warned residents. 

“Please be patient and know we are getting to you as 

quick as possible.” 

Bricker commended the staff for not taking overtime 

pay during recent snow removal. Bricker said some employees 

worked as much as 15 hours overtime and, instead 

of taking time-and-a-half pay, opted for additional 

comp time to help the village save money. 

Mayor Martin announced there will be no nuisance 

or block watch committees this year due to council members 

refusing to serve on the committees. At a recent 

meeting, council members Tammy Vansickle, Rebecca 

Burns and Tom Ward refused to serve on committees to 

which Timmons assigned them. The council members 

cited time constraints and health concerns as their reasons 

for not serving on the committees. 

“The rules of council say you cannot refuse to be on 

an assigned committee,” Mayor Martin said. “However, 

right now we have several council members refusing to 

serve on the committees they were assigned. As a result, 

we will not have a nuisance and abatement and block 

watch committees.” 

Also at the meeting, residents and internal staff voiced concerns 

about council members’ ongoing arguments and bickering with one 

another. 

Resident Bob Fish talked about Ward walking out of the prayer 

at the beginning of the last council meeting. 

“I am very disappointed in council. To invite a guest to the meeting 

and then walk out is embarrassing,” Fish said, referring to the 

local pastor who led the prayer. “This guest has helped the village 

and to walk out on them is an embarrassment.” 

Mark Pitstick, village law director, also expressed frustration. 

“I also am disappointed with council. We were at the top and 

heading towards easy street, but instead the council is now split 

50/50 with the mayor having to break ties,” Pitstick said. “I think 

we need to come together, sit down, apologize and act like adults. 

We are all 50-plus (years old) and need to step up to the plate and 

do what is best for the citizens.” 

TEA 

Continued from page 1 

Mount Sterling First United Methodist Church. Last week, she 

began organizing a pop-up fitting shop at a vacant downtown storefront 

between Ben & Joy’s Restaurant and Kustom Floors. 

“I can outfit infants up to size 35 women,” said O’Neill. “I probably 

outfitted 45 or so people last year.” 

While vintage apparel (or apparel that looks vintage) is not required 

to attend the tea, it is what makes the event unique. 

“When Casey first suggested dressing up for the tea, a lot of us 

weren’t so sure about it, but it’s become a big smash,” said Melissa 

Reese, assistant librarian. 

Besides a Civil War-themed New Year’s Eve Grand Ball in South 

Charleston and a fancy tea in Washington Court House, there’s 

nothing in the area quite like Mount Sterling’s Victorian Sweetheart 

Tea. 

“We held the first tea in 2013 at Ben & Joy’s and had about 20 

people. It’s expanded so much. Now, we hold it at the church and 

we’re expecting 75 to 80 people,” Reese said. 

An entire Girl Scout troop makes a point of attending each year. 

The Washington Court House Red Hat Society has already let organizers 

know they’re coming again. Many sets of grandmothers, 

mothers and daughters have turned the event into a family tradition. 

“We give prizes for things like longest distance traveled, number 

of guests brought, most and fewest birthdays, best costumes, and 

birthday closest to Queen Victoria’s (May 24, 1819). One year, we 

gave a prize to the only man who attended,” O’Neill said. 

Friends of the Library members and library staffers make or buy 

and donate all of the food for the buffet, including tea sandwiches, 

fruit, scones, pastries, desserts, flavored teas and pink lemonade. 

Members of the Madison-Plains High School Key Club dress up and 

provide tableside tea service. 

“Last year was the Key Club’s first year helping out. It was very 

awesome. They looked so cool,” Reese said. “They bring the carts 

around, pour tea for everybody, and refill hot water.” 

In addition to the tea and treats, the event includes a boutique 

stocked with Victorian-inspired and tea-themed items for purchase— 

cups, saucers, teapots, doilies, handkerchiefs, linen napkins and 

knickknacks—more of O’Neill’s thrift store and rummage sale finds. 

A purple velvet curtain provides the perfect backdrop for individuals 

and groups to capture photos of the fun day. 

Pre-sale tickets are available at the library, 60 W. Columbus St., 

and are $5 for children 10 and younger and $7 for adults. The price 

goes up $1 for tickets at the door. 

Anyone who would like to borrow clothing to wear to the event 

can contact O’Neill to make an appointment, (740) 869-3548. She 

is happy to lend out items at no charge. She also will have hats and 

bonnets, including a handful of hats for men, available the day of 

the tea. 

For more information about tickets or the Friends of the Library, 

call Mount Sterling Public Library at (740) 869-2430.

Dolly Parton book program coming soon 

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program is coming to Madison 

County. The program mails free books to children ages birth to 

5 years old, no matter their family’s income. 

The Imagination Library started in Sevier County, Tenn., in 

1995. Since then, it has expanded across the United States, Canada, 

Great Britain and Australia. United Way of Clark, Champaign and 

Madison Counties launched the program in Champaign County in 

2016 and in Clark County in 2017. The agency plans to launch it in 

Madison County early this year. 

The Imagination Library is a partnership of the Dolly Parton 

Foundation, United Way, local educators, librarians and other 

sponsors. 

The purpose of the program is to improve home literacy environments, 

children’s attitudes toward reading, and early literacy skills. 

It takes $25 to fund a child for a year, but the program is completely 

free to children who are registered. Contributions raised

school activities, community and/or church activities, 

through donations and fundraisers make the program possible. 

United Way of Clark, Champaign and Madison Counties holds 

Power of the Purse, an annual fundraiser, in each county. This allwomen 

event raises money to support the Imagination Library. 

Clark County’s Power of the Purse is set for 5:30-9 p.m. Feb. 22. 

Tickets are $40 pre-sale or $45 at the door and can be purchased at 

http://www.uwccmc.org/; click on “2019 Clark County Power of the 

Purse.”

future plans, and an essay. This year’s essay question 

was, “What new challenges will America face as we 

move forward into the future?” This year’s overall 

theme was “Our American Heritage and Our Responsibility 

for Preserving It.” 

The judges had a hard time putting scores on this 

year’s applications. The scores were very close. The students 

chosen to represent their schools as Good Citizens 

were: Hailey Kurtz of Hillard Darby, Sophie VanKirk 

of Jonathan Alder, Katie Tieman of Hilliard Bradley 

and; Sydney Ryan of Hillard Davidson. VanKirk won 

the chapter’s $100 scholarship.

Organ donation records broken 

Lifeline of Ohio, a non-profit organization that promotes 

and coordinates donation of human organs and 

tissue for transplantation, experienced its second 

record-breaking year in a row in 2018. 

New records set in central and southeastern Ohio included 

the following: 

• 130 individuals shared the gift of life through 

organ donation, a 5 percent increase over last year. 

• 410 organs were transplanted from donors, which 

saved 366 lives, also an increase over last year. 

• 594 individuals shared the gift of healing through 

tissue donation, a 25 percent increase over last year. 

• 249 individuals shared the gift of sight through 

cornea donation, a 47 percent increase over last year. 

Lifeline of Ohio worked closely with transplant centers 

and donor families to make sure every opportunity 

for donation in 2018 was maximized to save the greatest 

number of lives. Lifeline serves 72 hospitals in 37 counties 

in Ohio and two in West Virginia. 

In Madison County, 65.3 percent of residents are registered 

organ, eye and tissue donors. Across all of Ohio, 

the percentage is 59.2 percent.

Feb. 23: Leprechauns & 

Lederhosen at St. Pat’s 



Members of the committee 

for St. Patrick 

Catholic Church’s annual 

dinner and auction were 

batting around ideas for 

this year’s theme when 

Dan Hann, a deacon at the 

church, had a eureka moment. 

He thought, “Leprechauns 

in lederhosen!” 

then, calling on his many 

years as an art teacher, 

quickly drew just that—a 

Leprechaun wearing a 

traditional German outfit 

and holding a beer stein. 

“He came up with it 

and we just ran with it,” 

said Amy Hann-Morrow, Dan’s daughter 

and chair of the event. “We’re using the 

drawing on tickets, programs, everything.” 

The idea combines the church’s Irish and 

German heritage, and it just so happens 

that the parish’s new priest, Father Michael 

Hinterschied, is of German descent. 

This year’s dinner and auction will take 

place on Feb. 23 in the Froning Center at St. 

Patrick Catholic School, 226 Elm St., London. 

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 

and can be purchased at the school office. 

“We sold out twice last year. We added 

another three tables, which was another 24 

people. We ended up with about 200 guests,” 

Hann-Morrow said. 

Last year’s event raised $19,000. Proceeds 

go to upkeep and improvements at the 

school, which serves 

students in early education 

classes through 

eighth grade. 

In keeping with this 

year’s theme, 

Schmidt’s, an iconic 

German restaurant in 

Columbus, is catering 

the dinner. The menu

Trail watchdogs thanked for volunteer hours 

The Madison County Park District recognized volunteer trail 

sentinels for their hours of service on the Ohio to Erie Trail at the 

annual meeting of the Friends of Madison County Parks and Trails 

(FMCPT), held Jan. 16 at the Madison County Senior Center in

Trail sentinels serve as ambassadors for the park district, providing 

“Good Samaritan” assistance to trail users, participating in 

community outreach events and assisting with trail maintenance, 

such as clearing honeysuckle, blowing leaves off the trail and weeding. 

Twelve volunteers gave 1,370 hours of their time in 2018, including 

498 hours volunteered by Jerry Miller and 441 hours donated 

by Gene Pass. 

FMCPT is looking for volunteers who are at least 18 years old, 

enjoy riding on the Ohio to Erie Trail, and can communicate positively 

with staff, trail users, and property owners adjacent to the 

trail. Call Julia Cumming, program administrator at the Madison 

Soil and Water Conservation District at (740) 852-4003, option 3,
