Alder hires two principals 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Jonathan Alder Local Schools will start 

the 2019-20 school year with two new principals. 

On March 11, the school board approved 

the hiring of Taryn Fuller as the next principal 

at Plain City Elementary. On April 8, 

the board is expected to approve the hiring 

of J. Clint Hayes as the next principal at 

Jonathan Alder High School. 

Plain City Elementary principal 

Fuller replaces Kelly Hicks who is retiring 

at the end of this school year after 30 

years with the district, the last 12 as principal. 

Fuller earned her undergraduate degree 

from West Virginia State University and a 

master’s degree in educational administration 

from The Ohio State University. She is 

working on her doctorate in early childhood 

education through Concordia University. 

After getting her start in teaching at 

Mount Gilead Schools, Fuller was hired in 

2008 as a second-grade teacher at Plain 

City Elementary and as the varsity girls’ 

volleyball coach at the high school. In 2015, 

she led the volleyball team to the state tournament. 

After a couple of years as an assis-

tant principial at the elementary level for 

Delaware City Schools, Fuller returned to 

Plain City Elementary this past school year 

as dean of students. 

“Taryn is a natural when it comes to 

leadership. She’s shown it on the court and 

in the classroom,” Hicks said. 

Fuller credits Hicks with showing her 

the ropes during her time as a teacher and 

as dean of students. 

“I have big shoes to fill. Kelly is well 

known in the community, and that’s something 

I hope to emulate as a leader,” she 

said. “I am absolutely thrilled and blessed 

with the opportunity.”

West Jefferson PD welcomes new full-time officer 

By Michael Williamson 

Staff Writer 

West Jefferson has a new addition to the 

police department. 

Mayor Ray Martin swore in Robert 

Speakman at the village’s regular council 

meeting on March 18. Speakman joins the 

force as a full-time officer with pay set at the 

two-year level. 

“He has a lot of experience. We’re eager 

to have him come here and be one of the new 

leaders of the department and of the community,” 

said Police Chief Rick Hardy. 

We Support Our 

Local Community 

Speakman is a two-year veteran of the 

Springfield Police Department and is a 

United States Army veteran. He also works 

with the community as a scout leader for 

West Jefferson’s Boy Scout Pack 121. 

Also at the meeting, council approved the 

site plan and a variance for the landscape 

plan for Project Maple Lot 1 located on U.S. 

Route 40. 

“Project Maple involved two pieces of 

land. Medline will be in the rear plot of land, 

and the Exeter Property Group will be in 

the front,” said Steve Johnston, council

building could start as early as spring. 

In other meeting action, council: 

• approved an ordinance that would

to serve as principal at Dublin Jerome High

a 68-day contract. 

Superintendent Chad Eisler informed 

the board that he had done research on 

neighboring districts and those of a similar 

size to Madison-Plains and found that the 

majority of districts employ a full-time athletic 

director who also has other duties. 

“I am supportive of giving some extra duties 

to this person. I do think we do need to 

be careful, though, in not overloading them 

or overwhelming them,” Eisler said. 

In some cases, athletic directors teach or 

act as dean of students, while others contribute 

on an administrative basis. 

The board did not take formal action on 

the position. 

Also at the March 19 meeting: 

• Treasurer Todd Mustain reported that 

the district is in a “much better place” financially 

and that it should finish the school 

year better than it started. He estimated 

finishing the year with $2 million. 

He also announced that the district received 

the Auditor of State Award based on 

the results of its recently completed Fiscal 

Year 2018 financial audit. The Ohio Auditor 

of State’s Office presents the award to public 

entities that demonstrate “excellence in financial 

reporting in accordance with Generally 

Accepted Accounting Principles and 

compliance with applicable laws.” 

• Kim Rogers, transportation supervisor, 

reported that although the district has recently 

hired three new bus drivers, it remains 

understaffed in that department. 

The next regular meeting of the Madison-Plains 

school board is at 7 p.m. April 16 

in the board meeting room at the elementary 

building. 

Education four times for exceeding expectations 

in student growth. This past year, the 

school received the All A Award, as well. 

“We are thrilled for Mr. Hayes to transition 

to the high school,” said Gary Chapman, 

superintendent. “He is a talented and 

passionate educational leader who has invested 

himself in our students, staff and 

community. We know he will continue the 

high standard of educating and caring for 

students that we have established at 

Jonathan Alder.” 

Hayes lives in Plain City and is married 

with five children, all of whom are of school 

age and attend Jonathan Alder Schools. 

“I am very excited for the opportunity to 

continue to serve our district and community 

in a larger role,” Hayes said. “I have relationships 

with almost all of the students 

at the high school and can’t wait to get 

started next year.”

Boost for bike path biodiversity 



With posters and a persuasive pitch, three West Jefferson High 

School students convinced the Madison County commissioners to 

approve their proposal for boosting biodiversity along the Roberts 

Pass Trail bike path. 

Sophomore Emma Hostetler, junior Grace Shields and senior Loraine 

Stone outlined their proposal during the commissioners’ park 

board meeting on March 19. Science teacher Mike Harkleroad accompanied 

them. 

The students plan to plant prairie wildflowers and grasses at 

the Wilson Road trailhead along the bike path, which runs through 

Madison County and is part of the cross-state Ohio To Erie Trail. 

The trailhead is located on Wilson Road SE, north of State Route 

665 and south of Sparling Road in Fairfield Township, near West 

Jefferson. 

The group has scoped out a 1,500 square-foot area to be tilled 

then divided into three equal plots—one for seeds, one for seedlings, 

and one for a mix of seeds and seedlings. Planting likely will take 

place in May. The students will check back at the end of the growing 

season to see how each plot fared. 

Shields explained that they chose prairie wildflowers and 

grasses because they learned in class that Madison County once 

was covered in prairies. In selecting specific species, they looked for 

options that are drought-resistant, can handle partial shade, and 

provide habitat for pollinators, Hostetler said. Their choices include 

gray coneflower, Indian grass, nodding wild onion, sweet clover, 

gray dogwood, common milkweed and dense blazing star. 

According to Stone, the students will acquire seeds from area 

suppliers, such as the Ohio Prairie Nursery, and hope to get help 

from inmates at London Correctional Institution in growing the 

seedlings. 

County Commissioner Dr. Tony Xenikis offered up financial help 

from the local Pheasants Forever chapter to which he belongs, citing 

the organization’s focus on conservation as a reason to support 

the project. The students will use the funds to purchase seeds and, 

if necessary, seedlings and other supplies. 

The project is an outgrowth of the Ecological Education Initiative 

of Madison County, which aims to connect teachers and students 

with the county’s natural areas through hands-on projects. 

The plantings at the Wilson Road trailhead is the initiative’s first 

project, according to Julia Cumming of the Madison Soil and Water 

Conservation District. 

“We’re reaching out to any school teacher who wants to work 

with us along the trail or at the (Little Darby State Scenic River 

Preserve) on ecological projects,” Cumming said. 

To learn more about the Ecological Education Initiative, call 

Julia Cumming or Brian Hackett at (740) 852-4004. 

In other bike path related news, the Friends of Madison County 

Parks and Trails (FMCPT) hosted their first full moon bike ride of 

the season on March 19. Upcoming rides are planned as follows: 

April 19, 7:30 p.m.; May 18, 8 p.m.; June 16, 

8:30 p.m.; July 16, 8:30 p.m.; Aug. 15, 8 p.m. 

Participants can choose between a 14-mile 

route and a 25-mile route. Both start at 

Phat Daddy’s Pizza, 15 E. First St., in London. 

See https://fmcpt.com/rides/ for details. 

There is no charge to participate. 

Each spring, the Rails to Trails Conservancy 

sponsors an “Opening Day for Trails.” 

This year’s date is April 13, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. 

In Madison County, FMCPT members will 

hand out free coffee and cookies at the Coffee 

Peddler, 127 S. Main St., London, and 

share information about the bike path. 

Retired geologist Scott Brockman will 

lead a geology bike ride May 4 during which 

he will talk about the formation of the terrain 

of the Ohio to Erie Trail. The ride runs 

from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and starts at the Indian 

Ridge parking lot at Battelle Darby 

Metro Park, 8465 Alkire Rd., Grove City.

Chamber’s 2019 Bell Ringer award goes to Pfeil 



When Jeff Pfeil showed up at the Madison County Chamber of 

Commerce’s annual meeting, he had no idea he was bound for the 

awards spotlight. 

The West Jefferson resident was clearly moved when David Kell, 

the Chamber’s executive director, called him to the podium as this 

year’s Bell Ringer, an honor awarded annually to a county resident 

dedicated to bettering the community. 

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be here receiving 

this award,” Pfeil told the crowd gathered at the London Country 

Club on March 14. 

He credits his late father with setting an example for lending a 

hand. 

“Ever since I started following my dad around (as a boy), I just 

thought that’s what we did,” he said. 

One of Pfeil’s first tastes of community service came when he 

was 5 years old and his parents solicited his help at the West Jefferson 

Ox Roast, for which they were volunteers. He now serves as 

president of the West Jefferson Community Association which puts 

on the annual Labor Day weekend event. Each year he can be found 

digging the pit to cook the meat, preparing and serving sandwiches, 

organizing vendors, and serving as the “voice of the parade.” 

A 1974 graduate of West Jefferson High School, Pfeil returned 

to his alma mater as a teacher. He retired a few years ago after 29

years with the district. He still serves 

as the announcer for West Jefferson 

football games on Friday nights. 

“Apparently, spending all his time 

and energy serving the community’s 

youth just wasn’t enough,” Kell said 

before noting that Pfeil served as a 

West Jefferson adult softball commissioner, 

has spent 23 years coordinating 

West Jefferson’s Christmas in the 

Park event, is a freelance photographer 

for the Madison Messenger, and 

owns and operates a lawn care business 

he started in 1982. 

“Our award recipient sees the value 

in the bigger picture of his community,” 

Kell continued. “He dedicates 

hours of time and effort serving as a 

Jefferson Township trustee and a 

Madison County Trustee Association member.” 

Kell also thanked Pfeil for his efforts as a member of 

Madison County Future Inc., the economic development 

arm of the Chamber of Commerce. 

“I think I speak for everyone here when I say that 

we’re all thankful for the 5-year-old boy that humored 

his parents by helping them volunteer for their community, 

but even more so for the community 

servant he’s become over the 

years,” Kell said. 

The Chamber also presented 

awards to three organizations. 

The Non-Profit Award went to Life- 

Care Alliance which provides Meals- 

On-Wheels and senior dining centers 

to senior citizens and residents with 

medical challenges. In 2018, the 

Columbus-based non-profit provided 

22,700 home-delivered meals to 180 

clients and 4,100 congregate meals to 

27 clients in Madison County. 

The Retail/Service Award went to 

First Energy for its service to residents 

and businesses, support of local 

economic development, and contributions 

to non-profit organizations 

throughout Madison County. 

The Industrial Award went to Target Distribution 

Center. Since opening a regional distribution center in 

West Jefferson in 2004 and a food distribution center in 

2014, the company has provided opportunities in Madison 

County through job creation and community investment 

in the form of grants and donations.

More options for Rockin’ on the Run’s 10th year 



Rockin’ on the Run turns 10 years old this year. To celebrate, organizers 

are adding new features to the event, which is set for May 

18 in London. 

Traditionally, Rockin’ on the Run involves a 5-K run/walk, family-friendly 

festival, and silent auction, with proceeds benefiting pediatric 

brain tumor research. To date, the locally organized event 

has raised more than $142,000. 

“We’ve had a lot of people say they want to participate but that 

they can’t do the 5K, so we’ve added a one-miler. We’ve also added 

a kids’ loop,” said Ashley Winebrenner, Rockin’ on the Run vice 

president. 

Registration is open now for the 5K and 1-mile. The entry fee is 

$25. A link can be found at www.rockinontherun.org. The kids’ loop 

is free and participants can sign up the morning of the event. Entrants 

in the 5K and 1-mile receive a finisher’s medal, t-shirt, and 

swag bag; both races are timed. Entrants in the kids’ loop receive a 

finisher’s certificate. 

The races start and finish at St. Patrick School, 226 Elm St., 

London. Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. the day of the event. Entertainment, 

food, a bounce house, games, raffles and the auction 

start at 8. Race time is set for 9 a.m. (Times will be updated once 

final planning is complete. The kids’ loop is tentatively set to take 

place prior to the main race.) 

Additionally, organizers are changing up their t-shirt design contest, 

inviting children of all ages to submit designs for the shirts 

Run, 10th annual, for brain tumor awareness, 

London, Ohio, May 18, 2019, 5K, 1 

miler and kids’ loop, and the website address, 

www.rockinontherun.org. The shirts 

will be purple and printed with white ink. 

Each child can submit up to two designs. 

Designs must be submitted via email in 

PDF form by midnight on March 27. For 

more information, contact Johnda Beathard, 

that will go to participants who are fighting a brain tumor or have Rockin’ on the Run president, at 

fought a brain tumor and to their family members. 

Students in kindergarten through 12th grade can submit designs. 

They must include the following information: Rockin’ on the 

johnda@rockinontherun.org. The event’s 

board of directors will choose one design. 

The winner will be contacted on March 29. 

Sign up for first Service Day 

By Andrew Garrett 

Staff Writer 

Many hands make light work, the old proverb goes, and the 

United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties (UWCCMC) 

is looking for as many hands as can be mustered for its Service Day 

planned for April 26. 

Service Day is a county-wide, one-day event that pairs volunteers 

with area non-profit organizations for a variety of cleaning, 

maintenance and repair projects, according to Gracie Hemphill, 

UWCCMC’s director of strategic initiatives. Think of it as one big 

day of spring cleaning happening simultaneously throughout the 

county with neighbors helping neighbors. 

The goal is for local businesses and organizations to recruit volunteers 

from within their ranks and then sign up as a group, although 

individuals are encouraged to participate, too, Hemphill 

said. Volunteer registration is open through 

April 22. 

UWCCMC is accepting service projects 

until April 15. Entities or organizations 

looking to register a service project must be 

non-profit to qualify. Projects already accepted 

include: clearing invasive brush at 

the Little Darby State Scenic Preserve, organized 

by Friends of Madison County 

Parks & Trails; Meals-On-Wheels delivery 

through LifeCare Alliance; fence removal at 

Loving Care Hospice; and mulching at Lon- 

don city parks. 

“This is a great opportunity for citizens 

to show their pride by working in comradery 

to improve their communities,” said Pat 

Closser, London mayor and United Way 

board member, “and I encourage everyone 

to volunteer on this day.” 

This is the first year for the event to take 

place in Madison County, according to 

Hemphill. It is the fourth year for Clark 

County and the third for Champaign 

County, she said. 

Over the last four years, Clark County’s 

Service Day has grown to include nearly 30 

project sites and more than 500 hundred 

volunteers. Hemphill said she would love to 

see that kind of turnout and growth in 

Madison County. 

Those interested in Service Day volunteerism 

or submitting a service project, or 

merely finding out more about the event 

and various service projects, may do so by 

logging onto www.uwccmc.org/events and 

scrolling down to “Madison County Service 

Day.”

Crafting an effective cover letter 

A strong cover letter may not 

guarantee you land a good job, 

but a poor cover letter may guarantee 

you won't. On its own, an 

effective cover letter can catch 

the eye of hiring managers 

tasked with finding worthy candidates 

among stacks of applications, 

while a poor cover letter 

may ensure hiring managers 

never even glance at an applicant's 

resume.An effective cover 

letter should be concise, conveying 

an applicant's work history 

and goals in a few paragraphs or 

less. 

The following are some additional 

ways men and women can

NOW HIRING 

How to get noticed in a crowded job market 

Finding a new job is never an easy 

task. That task grew even more difficult 

over the last half decade, 

when a struggling economy forced 

many companies to lay off workers 

and institute hiring freezes. As a result, 

unemployment numbers rose, 

and many out-of-work men and 

women found themselves searching 

for ways to stand out among a 

crowded pool of applicants. 

Standing out in a crowded job market 

has always been tough, but 

many professionals find it even 

more difficult to get noticed now, 

when many companies request 

prospective employees apply for job 

postings via the Internet. That 

process can be frustrating, as even 

the most qualified applicants can 

easily get lost among the myriad of 

workers all applying for the same 

position. But as daunting as finding 

a new job may seem to those looking 

for work, there are ways to stand 

out among the masses. 

* Go the extra mile when sending 

your application. Many online job 

postings provide a link or an email 

address where applicants can fill 

out an application or send their resumes. 

This is a necessary step, and 

applicants should follow the directions 

in the posting. But applicants 

who really want to get noticed can 

take the extra step of finding the 

contact information for the company's 

hiring manager and sending 

their resume directly to that person's 

email address. Include the 

title of the position you're applying 

for in the subject line of your email, 

and cut and paste your cover letter 

into the body of the email. In addition 

to sending your email to the 

company's hiring manager, consider 

CC'ing the person who might be 

your boss if you were to get the position. 

* Tighten things up. Your resume 

should reflect your work experience, 

but you want to focus primarily on 

the experience and skills that are 

relevant to the position. You can list 

past positions or internships you've 

had, but keep the synopsis of those 

positions brief if they bear little relevance 

to the position for which 

you're applying. The main focus of 

your resume should be the things 

you have done in the past that make 

you the best candidate for this job. 

The rate of pay for this position is $14.00/hr. to 

$16.00/hr depending on experience. During snow 

events, a $5/hr. differential will be added to regular 

rate of pay. Employees who work over 40 hours in 

a pay week will receive overtime. The core 

working hours are 7:00am-3:30pm, 

Monday-Friday. Transportation will be provided 

from main shop located near Roberts Rd. & I-270. 

Health and Dental Insurance, Life Insurance 

$1,000 LANDSCAPE & 

paid by the company. 80 Hours PTO after 

Sign on 

3 months and an additional 

40 hours of PTO are available after 6 months. 

Bonus 

UTILITY CREW Responsibilities: Cut lawns using hand or power 

mower, Trim & edge around walks, flower beds & 

walls, using clippers & edging tools, May operate 

walking type power mowers, snow blowers, 

roto tillers or riding mowers, chain saws, hedge 

trimmers & other hand-held power operated tools 

to prune, cultivate, shovel, trim cut & dig, May be 

asked to perform maintenance tasks, including 

general carpentry; electrical, mechanical maintenance, 

HVAC, ground maintenance, painting & 

custodial duties as assigned.

EXPLOSION!! 

STAFFING 

Your Partner at Work 

This might change as you apply for 

various positions, but tailor each resume 

to each specific position. 

* Make your resume downloadfriendly. 

Applying for positions but 

getting little response despite your 

qualifications? Chances are your resume 

might not be downloadfriendly. 

Bullet points and boxes 

might look good to you, but if the 

hiring manager on the receiving end 

of your resume does not have the 

same version of the program you're 

using, that resume might look like 

a scrambled mess by the time the 

it's downloaded. In such instances 

your resume is almost certain to end 

up in the scrap heap, no matter how 

qualified you might be. When uploading 

your resume to a company 

Web site or emailing it to a hiring 

manager, choose a format they can 

easily download. A PDF, for example, 

is a format that's easy to download 

and unlikely to scramble. 

* Beware of hyperlinks. Adding hyperlinks 

to a resume can be hit or 

miss. When it's a hit, a hiring manager 

can click on a link in your resume 

and be taken directly to 

samples of your work. However, if 

you're asked to submit your resume 

via an online application instead of 

sending it directly to a hiring manager's 

email address, then those 

same hyperlinks might be relegating 

your application to the trash bin 

before it's ever seen. That's because 

the database may be programmed 

to associate any documents with hyperlinks 

as spam, in which case the 

hiring manager will never see your 

application or resume. Hyperlinks 

can be useful and help you stand 

out, but only when they're employed 

under the right circumstances. 

* Include social media profiles. 

More and more companies want employees 

who are familiar with social 

media, which can work to an applicants' 

advantage or prove detrimental. 

If you have been responsible 

regarding your use of social media, 

conducting yourself in a professional 

matter and even benefitting 

your existing employer, by all 

means share these profiles with potential 

employers. But if you have 

traditionally used social media 

purely as a social tool and not in a 

professional manner, then it bears 

little relevance to your job search 

and likely won't help you stand out 

for the right reasons. 

Standing out in a crowded job is 

rarely easy. But savvy professionals 

can employ a few tricks of the trade 

to stand out as they search for their 

next jobs.

Update your skills in a secure job industry 

The last several years have seen a series 

of economic ups and downs. Managing careers 

amid such instability has been challenging 

for many individuals, but 

professionals looking for more security 

can take steps to find careers that promise 

more long-term stability. 

Focusing a job search on industries that 

have shown strong growth and the ability 

to ride out waves of economic turmoil can 

tip the odds in your favor. Certain industries 

have better long-term employment 

outlooks than others, and men and 

women looking for more stability should 

consider these industries when pondering 

their next career moves. 

Accounting 

Thanks to ever-changing financial policies 

and greater scrutiny placed on lending 

practices and bookkeeping, 

accounting jobs remain solid career 

choices. Jobs in accounting can range 

from entry-level to more advanced (and 

more lucrative) positions requiring certification 

or a secondary education.

Lois Elaine Gartin of Spring Hill, Tennessee 

July 9, 1937 – December 12, 2018 

Lois Gartin, age 81, a resident of Spring Hill, TN and 

previously of London, OH passed away Wednesday evening, 

December 12, 2018 at Magnolia Healthcare & Rehabilitation 

after a long battle with Cancer. 

Lois was born on July 9, 1937 and was the daughter of Earl 

and Nona Porter and the wife of late Thurman “Ray” Gartin. She is survived by 

her six children: Alan (Denise) Gartin of Columbia, TN, Debbie (John) Brown 

of London, OH, Brenda (David) Evangelista of Spring Hill, TN, Arlene “Tina” 

(Dave) Swaney of London, OH, Beth (Jeff Charlier) Holdrieth of Bulger, PA, and 

Barbara Lynn (Jay Tolliver) Snyder of Plain City, OH. Sister Janet Harris of KY; 

thirteen grandchildren and eighteen great grandchildren. 

Lois was most fondly remembered for her kind and giving heart! Over the 

course of her life, she shared her creative and fun loving personality by teaching 

ceramic classes. She also had a passion for crocheting and she was very proud 

of the blue ribbons she won from local fairs. Many may remember her from 

Ding Ho’s Chinese restaurant located in Columbus, OH where she worked for 

over 30+ years. After she retired from Ding Ho’s she ran/owned the Big Plain 

Market and Pizza shop and people from all around claimed she made the best 

pizza ever. She was a great cook and baker and she took great pride in her 

cooking skills and made sure whoever showed up left with a full stomach. 

She was a kind soul and she will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

Reconstruction resumes on I-70 in Madison County 

The Ohio Department of Transportation 

(ODOT) has resumed work on reconstruction 

of a portion of I-70 in Madison County. 

Effective March 18, I-70 between U.S. 

Route 42 and the Franklin County line has 

been reduced to two lanes in each direction 

around the clock. Crews from the Ohio Department 

of Transportation are installing 

temporary pavement and building median 

crossovers. 

Once the crossovers are complete, the 

plan is for I-70 eastbound traffic to cross 

through the median onto the westbound 

side. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained 

obituaries 

in each direction, but starting mid-April, 

both directions of I-70 will be on the westbound 

side of the road. This traffic pattern 

is expected to be in place until November, 

while crews work to rebuild the eastbound 

lanes of I-70. 

Since lanes are reduced, drivers should 

expect some delays in the seven-mile work 

zone, especially during peak travel times. 

Next year, traffic will use the eastbound 

lanes while crews reconstruct the westbound 

side. The $50 million project is expected 

to be complete in October 2020, 

weather permitting. 

Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Born on April 2, 1999, in Columbus, 

he was a son of Janie (Fletcher) and Donnie Anders. Willie was

It’s modern, it’s whimsical, and it’s 

packed with positivity. 

Jefferson Local Schools’ production of 

“Seussical the Musical” hits the West Jefferson 

High School stage for four performances 

March 28-30. 

“There are multiple great messages in 

the show, including the idea that the way 

you are is the best version of you for the 

world,” said director Rachel Armas, “that 

every type of person is important...and to 

be grateful for all you have.” 

In addition to the storyline, Armas 

chose “Seussical” as the district’s spring 

musical for the opportunities it offers student 

actors. 

“It features medium to large parts for 

several people, so we can feature a larger 

number of talented students,” she explained. 

“It also lets the whole school community 

participate. We are excited to 

have students from the elementary, middle 

and high schools involved.” 

Two students are splitting the duties 

of playing JoJo, the child whose imagination 

is responsible for all the characters 

that spring to life over the course of the 

story. Sixth-grader Alexa Bogenrife plays 

the part Thursday night and Saturday 

night. Seventh-grader Jayden Davie does 

the honors Friday night and Saturday afternoon. 

Senior Nathaniel Dersom is putting 

his three years of high school drama experience 

to good use in the over-the-top

Gearing up for Jefferson Local Schools’ production of “Seussical the Musical” are: 

(seated, from left) Nicole Evans as Gertrude McFuzz and Nick McGlothlin as Horton 

the Elephant; (back row) Hannah Messer as the Sour Kangaroo, Loraine Stone as 

Mayzie LaBird, Nathaniel Dersom as The Cat in the Hat, Wesley Miller as Mr. Mayor, 

and Jayden Davie as JoJo. 

West Jeff’s ‘Seussical’ 

packs positive punch 

comedic role of The Cat in the Hat. 

Senior Nicole Evans displays her 

singing chops as Gertrude McFuzz, a bird 

who is unhappy with her appearance but 

learns to be content with who she is. 

Junior Nicholas McGlothlin is taking 

center stage for the first time in a leading 

role, playing Horton, a super lovable, very 

sincere elephant. 

Senior Loraine Stone is the flashy, fun 

Mayzie LaBird. Sophomore Wesley Miller 

and senior Ivie-Jean Nicholas play well 

together as Mr. Mayor and the first lady 

of Whoville. 

For the production staff, Armas is 

joined by Jeff Gates, assistant director, 

Danielle Fredette, choreographer, and 

Jacob Boyer, rehearsal accompanist. This 

is the fourth show the team has produced 

together. 

“We hope the community comes out 

and sees our awesomely talented students,” 

Armas said. “They are doing a 

great job. It’s just such a fun show to 

share with everybody.” 

Show times are 6 p.m. March 28, 7 

p.m. March 29, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. 

March 30. Tickets for March 28 are $25, 

include dinner, and must be purchased 

ahead of time. Tickets for the other three 

shows are $5 for students, $10 for adults, 

and $15 for VIP seating with prime view. 

Call (614) 879-7681, ext. 2300, or email 

westjeffdrama@gmail.com to order tickets. 

Additionally, tickets to all but the dinner 

theater will be available for purchase

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” 

but rather supply the 

readers with manuals, directories

designed to help 

their clients establish mail 

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 

loans regardless of 

credit and note that if a 

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All
