Students witness Notre Dame Cathedral fire<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
A group of <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains students, advisors and chaperones<br />
witnessed firsthand the fire that caused extensive damage to the<br />
iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, on <strong>April</strong> 15.<br />
Eight students—freshmen, sophomores and juniors in Spanish<br />
and French classes at the high school—were on a weeklong school<br />
trip to Europe with two advisors and five adult chaperones. The trip<br />
included stops in London, Paris and Barcelona.<br />
The day of the fire, the group had done a walking tour of central<br />
Paris, including a visit to Notre Dame during which they spent<br />
“We never thought<br />
we’d come to Europe and<br />
see all that happen. It was<br />
hard to take it all in. The<br />
scene was very emotional.<br />
And it was very<br />
quiet.”<br />
–<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains<br />
students and chaperones<br />
about 45 minutes walking around<br />
the interior of the centuries old<br />
cathedral.<br />
They left the cathedral around<br />
5:45 p.m., just as the next mass<br />
was starting. They then ate dinner<br />
and, between 6 and 6:30 p.m. as<br />
they exited the restaurant, saw<br />
smoke, walked around the corner<br />
and saw the fire.<br />
The day after the fire, the <strong>Madison</strong><br />
<strong>Messenger</strong> made contact with<br />
Kyle Phillips, a 2010 <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains graduate serving as a chaperone<br />
on the trip. Her brother, Owen, was among the students on<br />
the trip. Phillips shared the <strong>Messenger</strong>’s questions with the other<br />
members of the group. The following responses are a combination<br />
of comments from students and adults in the group.<br />
How close were you to the scene? What did you observe?<br />
“We were close enough to feel the heat from the fire and smell<br />
the smoke. When the spire fell, we could hear the glass breaking.<br />
We were there for two to three hours, watching the fire. We could<br />
see fire fighters on booms around the sides of the church and on the<br />
bell tower. We were standing on the side of the church, so we could<br />
see the whole roofline as it caught fire.”<br />
What safety measures did the authorities take to secure the area<br />
around the church?<br />
“Police moved people out of the area and shut down metro (underground)<br />
stations all around the church. The bridges were also<br />
closed, and some are still closed today.”<br />

This is the view a group of <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains High School students and their chaperones had of the fire that ravaged<br />
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on <strong>April</strong> 15. The students were on a school trip. They had toured the interior<br />
of Notre Dame less than an hour before the fire broke out.<br />
What are your thoughts and reactions to witnessing<br />
the fire?<br />
“We never thought we’d come to Europe and see all<br />
that happen. It was hard to take it all in. The scene was<br />
very emotional. And it was very quiet. Not many people<br />
were talking. It was weird to think we had just been in<br />
a building that was now on fire. Many of us were looking<br />
through pictures of things that no longer look the same.”<br />
Plain City breaks ground on new municipal hall<br />

offices and police station. Construction is slated to start this month and finish<br />
up at the end of this year.<br />

Staff Writer<br />
Plain City residents and officials alike<br />
have shared in the frustration.<br />
When residents visit one of the government<br />
offices to seek assistance on multiple<br />
issues, village officials almost always have<br />
to direct them to another location.<br />
“Our department buildings are spread<br />
throughout the community, and that setup<br />
puts us at a disadvantage,” said Nathan Cahall,<br />
village administrator. “It hinders our<br />
ability to efficiently serve our residents<br />
when we have to send them all over town to<br />
find solutions to their problems.<br />
“Not only is it frustrating to them as we<br />
are not able to adequately assist [their<br />
needs] while they are in one office, it adds<br />
to the workload of the employees as we are<br />
all running around throughout multiple<br />
buildings, trying to figure things out.”<br />
It is a carousel that has become commonplace,<br />
said Cahall, but one he said will come<br />
to a halt once the village’s new municipal<br />
building is constructed.<br />
A groundbreaking ceremony took place<br />
<strong>April</strong> 12. The new 12,000 square-foot building<br />
will be located at 800 Village Blvd., west<br />
of the NAPA Auto Parts store off of U.S.<br />

“We can’t wait for it to start,” he said, “and I think I can speak<br />
for many others when I say that, too.”<br />
Plans to construct a new municipal building, one that would<br />
bring the administrative side and the law<br />
enforcement side together in a single complex,<br />
began in earnest nearly four years ago<br />
when the projected growth of the village<br />
started to conflict with its current conditions.<br />
“I believe Plain City could be classified<br />
as a city soon, and we had to start to meet<br />
the demands of this growing community,”<br />
Cahall said.<br />
Village leaders started budgeting for the<br />
project. Residents passed a half-percent income<br />
tax levy and bonds were issued. Altogether,<br />
nearly $2.9 million has been<br />
earmarked for the project.<br />
The new municipal building will house<br />
the village council chambers, police department,<br />
and administrative offices such as the<br />
fiscal office, income tax department, utilities<br />
office and zoning department.<br />
Police Chief Dale McKee said the building<br />
is one of the “greatest things to occur”<br />
during his 23 years working for the village.<br />
“It means a lot to our department to have<br />
this expansion,” he said.<br />
The police section of the new municipal<br />
building will be three times larger than the<br />
department’s current building. The space<br />
will include a detective’s office, interview<br />
rooms, a property and evidence room, a<br />
training room, and a safe room for victims<br />
of crimes such as domestic violence. It also<br />
will feature a Sally Port to move suspects<br />
into and out of the building safely, without<br />
posing harm to the community at large.<br />
Additional amenities for the municipal<br />
building are extra space for potential future<br />
hires, such as an engineer and economic developer,<br />
and an on-site fitness facility to improve<br />
the overall health and wellness of the<br />

employees and to retain staff and attract future employees.<br />
Construction is slated to start in the next two weeks, Cahall said.<br />
The facility should be completed by the end of the year.<br />
“If the stars align, we are looking at moving into the building at<br />
the end of December,” Cahall said.<br />
He added that a ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for January,<br />
and he hopes the community will come out to see the new municipal<br />
complex they helped to build.<br />
“This wouldn’t be happening without the help of this community,”<br />
he said.<br />

to the tax increment financing agreement (TIF) between<br />

New moms invited to baby shower<br />
By Theresa Hennis<br />
Staff Writer<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County’s Healthy Child and Family Consortium will<br />
host its spring community baby shower at 5 p.m. May 14 at the<br />
West Jefferson Community Center, 221 S. Center St.<br />
Held each spring and fall, the consortium’s baby showers are designed<br />
to provide new mothers and expectant mothers with information<br />
on the latest safety measures for newborns.<br />
“One of the main reasons the showers were organized was to help<br />
prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) for which Ohio is<br />
ranked as one of the worst states in the U.S.,” explained Amy Hix,<br />
one of the event’s organizer.<br />
Information and resource booths promote safe sleep and breast<br />
feeding, two ways to help prevent SIDS. Attendees are educated on<br />
car seat safety and encouraged to have their car seats installed by<br />
certified professionals at their WIC office or fire department. Additionally,<br />
they receive information about maternal mental health to<br />
help them understand the changes they might experience as a new<br />
mom and how to seek support.<br />
The showers feature decorated tables, finger foods, cupcakes,<br />
and diaper bags filled with necessities and more. Drawings are held<br />
for strollers, cribs and other items.<br />
“We have been blessed with many donations from agencies and<br />
organizations,” Hix said, “and we’ve been able to give away an abundance<br />
of baby needs.”<br />
The consortium held its first baby shower in November 2016 and<br />
has hosted two showers per year since then. Approximately 100<br />
moms and support people have attended each of the last five showers.<br />
The event has evolved over the years. Organizers have moved it<br />
around to different parts of the county, reaching out to all families<br />
to let them know about the resources available<br />
throughout the county.<br />
Sponsors of the upcoming community<br />

Youth organization<br />
changes its name<br />
Go ahead! Ask me anything<br />
Master Gardeners welcome challenging questions<br />
The board of directors for the West<br />
Jefferson Youth Athletic Association<br />
(WJYAA) voted unanimously to<br />
change the name of the organization to<br />
West Jefferson Youth Inc., effective<br />
immediately.<br />
Led by John Koehler, a group made<br />
up of members of our operations crew<br />
and volunteers from the community<br />
came up with the transition over a 45-<br />
day period.<br />
The mission statement is to educate<br />
and develop every child with the desire<br />
to participate and compete, while simultaneously<br />
affording equal opportunity<br />
to compete without regard to<br />
experience or athletic ability. We are<br />
committed to instilling our core values<br />
of attitude, effort and teamwork in the<br />
youth of our community through sport<br />
and other community activities. We<br />
believe these values are important to<br />
their overall long-term athletic development<br />
and their ability to become active<br />
and productive members of our<br />
community and society.<br />
These values are emphasized by the<br />
entire organization, from the board members to the coaches, and<br />
from the coaches to the youth and their parents.<br />
I am excited for the changes. We are revitalizing everything we<br />
are doing to make it easier, and folks will see a change in responsiveness,<br />
information and operations as we move forward. We have<br />
a new website, owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods. It will help with<br />
management of participants and will streamline enrollment.<br />
We still own the “WJYAA” name. We will take some time and rebrand.<br />
We also will come up with better choices of travel or elite teams<br />
for basketball, softball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and volleyball.<br />

Did you know? The <strong>Madison</strong> County Extension Office<br />
and the Ohio State Extension offer a service called<br />
“Ask a Master Gardener?” You can call the local Extension<br />
office or submit your query by e-mail to the<br />
state’s Ask an Expert address. Questions are distributed<br />
to Master Gardeners around the state who have<br />
volunteered to do the research necessary to find answers.<br />
Master Gardener volunteers have identified hundreds<br />
of trees, shrubs, flowers and weeds from pictures<br />
submitted on-line. We suggest the best time to<br />
plant, ways to increase yields, prolong bloom time and<br />
when to harvest. We identify bugs, butterflies, birds<br />
and animals. We suggest ways to discourage some insects<br />
and birds, encourage others, and attract butterflies<br />
and hummingbirds. We identify deer damage to<br />
trees and gardens, as well as racoon, rabbit and pet<br />
damage to plants and lawns. Every question is handled<br />
with the intent of providing the best possible answer<br />
and to provide practical, proven, science-based<br />
solutions to problems.<br />
It turns out that sometimes, much to our chagrin,<br />
the only answer is, “That’s a really good question. We<br />
just don’t know the answer.”<br />
Once, someone submitted a photo of a shrub with<br />
red berries. I thought that would be an easy one and<br />
researched it diligently. For hours. I took the picture<br />
to a Master Gardener meeting and passed it around.<br />
I took it to two big-name nurseries in Columbus. I<br />
asked every gardener I knew. I ended up with several<br />
distinct possibilities. The final answer: “I’m sorry, I<br />
just don’t know.”<br />
There have been pictures of fungi with requests for<br />
identification. There are literally thousands of kinds<br />
of fungi in our environment. Fungi questions always<br />

come with this disclaimer, “No matter what I say it is,<br />
don’t ever eat a mushroom picked from the wild.” Only<br />
a few highly educated experts are knowledgeable<br />
enough to do that.<br />
Many people want names for their local spiders,<br />
and it always comes with an explanation: “I’m worried<br />
that it can hurt my child/dog/cat.” Often the spider in<br />
the picture is teeny tiny as the person holding the<br />
camera is reluctant to get too close. The only harmful<br />
spiders in Ohio are the brown recluse and the black<br />
widow. Both are shy, secretive and shun your company.<br />
They do not spin large webs or pose for pictures.<br />
Tree questions are common. Most of the evergreens<br />
we like to grow are not native to Ohio and often struggle<br />
with our summer heat, humidity, and heavy clay<br />
soils. When all else fails, we suggest a certified arborist<br />
for tree examination.<br />
A homeowner often wants suggestions for a good<br />
tree, shrub or flower for a specific site, and it is very<br />
gratifying to do the research and be able to offer several<br />
choices well suited for the spot.<br />
So go ahead, Ask a Master Gardener. We will research<br />
your problem and offer solid, scientific answers,<br />
often accompanied by useful ways to use the<br />
information. Here is how to contact us:<br />
For the <strong>Madison</strong> County Ask a Master Gardener<br />
Program, call the <strong>Madison</strong> County OSU Extension Office<br />

Fatality review board meets<br />
for your health<br />
Chris Cook<br />
The death of a child is one of the most<br />
painful experiences in life. Parents and<br />
community leaders want to see the children<br />
in <strong>Madison</strong> County experience healthy,<br />
happy, and long lives. Unfortunately, children<br />
die across Ohio every year. Recognizing<br />
the need to better understand why<br />
children die, the Ohio General Assembly<br />
mandated Child Fatality Review (CFR)<br />
boards in each of Ohio’s counties in order to<br />
review the deaths of children under 18<br />
years of age. CFR boards have been meeting<br />
across Ohio since 2000.<br />
Each year, approximately 1,600 children<br />
die in Ohio. About 300 of these deaths are<br />
likely preventable. Ohio established a CFR<br />
program to better understand how and why<br />
our children die and to take action to prevent<br />
other child deaths. By law, the health<br />
commissioner must convene the CFR board<br />
annually. The board is made up of representatives<br />
from the county coroner, law enforcement,<br />
children services, public health,<br />
board of alcohol, drug addiction and mental<br />
health services, and a pediatric or family<br />
physician.<br />
In <strong>Madison</strong> County, the CFR board<br />
meets in March and compiles nearly 24<br />
pages of data on each child death in the<br />
county. The Board met on March 1 this year<br />
to review the deaths of three <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County children under the age of 18. Ages<br />
of the children who died ranged from five<br />
days to two months. Based on the review of<br />
the deaths, the CFR board made the following<br />
recommendations to expectant mothers,<br />
parents, grandparents, and caregivers of<br />
children:<br />
1. Create a safe sleep environment for<br />
babies to greatly reduce the chance of Sudden<br />
Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). You<br />
should not co-sleep with your infant. Babies<br />
should sleep on their back, in a crib, with<br />
nothing in the crib with them except a tightfitting<br />
mattress sheet (no bumpers, toys,<br />
stuffed animals, blankets, or pillows).<br />
2. There is no acceptable amount of<br />
smoking during pregnancy. Pregnant<br />
women should stop using all types of tobacco<br />
and nicotine including<br />
cigarettes, e-<br />
cigarettes and vaping<br />
products to avoid adverse<br />
health outcomes<br />
for their unborn baby.<br />
3. Second-hand<br />
smoke is dangerous to<br />
an unborn baby and to<br />
a new infant. Pregnant<br />
women should<br />
avoid people who smoke, and infants should<br />
not be in a home where smoking or vaping<br />
is occurring indoors.<br />
4. Pregnant women should stop using all<br />
types of illegal drugs. Nearly all drugs can<br />
be absorbed by an unborn child. When a<br />
pregnant woman uses drugs, her unborn<br />
baby uses drugs, too.<br />
5. Women and their partners should develop<br />
a reproductive life plan and decide<br />
when the right time is to have children. If<br />
this isn’t this right time for children, talk to<br />
your doctor or <strong>Madison</strong> County Public<br />
Health about the different types of birth<br />
control that you can use.<br />
6. Early and consistent prenatal care<br />
from an obstetrician is critical to positive<br />
health outcomes. This holds true for first<br />
pregnancies and all subsequent pregnancies.<br />
You can get a free pregnancy test at<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County Public Health. If you are<br />
pregnant, your first visit to an OB/GYN doctor<br />
should be within the first eight to 12<br />
weeks of your last missed period. Most pregnant<br />
women should see their OB/GYN<br />
monthly after the first visit.<br />
Chris Cook is <strong>Madison</strong> County’s health<br />
commissioner. He can be reached at <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County Public Health, (740) 852-3065. The<br />
health department is located at 306 Lafayette<br />
St., Suite B, London.<br />
A ‘little’ bit of charm<br />
There are not too many movies that<br />
feature magical age-related transformations<br />
and the handful that there are primarily<br />
focus on preteens who turn into<br />
adults. While the subplots in this small<br />
group of films may be different, the shared<br />
lesson is that adulthood sucks the life out<br />
of you and you shouldn’t be so quick to<br />
want to grow up. With the latest film in<br />
this genre, however, the tables are turned<br />
and there is a focus on an adult who turns<br />
back into her preteen self. In doing so, the<br />
film poses an interesting contrast to its<br />
magical age-related transformative cousin<br />
since the lead couldn’t wait to escape the<br />
horror that was childhood.<br />
“Little” begins with the introduction of<br />
Jordan Sanders (Marsai Martin), an inquisitive<br />
young girl with an aptitude for<br />
science. Wanting to showcase her passion<br />
with her peers, she puts on a demonstration<br />
of the laws of physics at a talent show<br />
but is brutally rebuffed for her efforts. In<br />
the aftermath with a bruised ego and a<br />
few broken bones, Jordan vows that she<br />
will work hard to become the bully rather<br />
than the bullied.<br />
The film then flashes forward to the<br />
present day where as an adult, Jordan<br />
(Regina Hall) has become the owner of a<br />
multi-million dollar tech company. To celebrate<br />
her success, she has pictures of herself<br />
all over her fancy high-rise<br />
apartment, slips bills to the barista in<br />
order to cut in the long morning coffee<br />
line, and basks in the tears of the underlings<br />
who quiver in her wake.<br />
One of the employees who incur the<br />
wrath of her verbal lashing the most is her<br />
assistant <strong>April</strong> (Issa Rae), who is trying to<br />
gather the courage to pitch an app to her<br />
fierce boss. After a particularly heated exchange<br />
one day, a budding magician<br />
comes to <strong>April</strong>’s defense and makes a wish<br />
that Jordan would be “little again.” Knowing<br />
that is not physically possible, Jordan<br />
laughs in the girl’s face and later has her<br />
father’s carb-laden food truck banned<br />
from the premises.<br />
the reel deal<br />
Upon waking up<br />
the following morning,<br />
however, Jordan<br />
discovers that<br />
the wish worked and<br />
she has been transformed<br />
back into her<br />
middle school self.<br />
Remembering the horror of that time<br />
where she was picked on constantly and<br />
had no friends, she begs for <strong>April</strong>’s help,<br />
who is just delighted by this strange turn<br />
of events. In the process of her re-lived<br />
childhood, Jordan has to discover what<br />
changes she has to make in order to become<br />
her adult self again and maybe even<br />
learn how to become a nicer person along<br />
the way.<br />
While “Little” doesn’t reinvent the<br />
magical age-related transformation wheel,<br />
it is quite a charming movie that features<br />
a great cast with a tremendous amount of<br />
chemistry. The primary relationships are<br />
between <strong>April</strong> and the adult Jordan and<br />
<strong>April</strong> and the young Jordan and all of the<br />
actresses made the generational transitions<br />
seamless. They each get their chance<br />
to shine, and they each make the most out<br />
of the material they are given, which is<br />
sometimes not as great as it could have<br />
been verbally or emotionally.<br />
“Little” isn’t a movie that you need to<br />
rush out and see but it is a sweet slice of<br />
entertainment should you require a pickme-up.<br />
Alternatively, it wouldn’t be a bad<br />
option should the showings of a certain<br />
upcoming comic book movie be sold out. I<br />
guarantee it might be just as funny and it<br />
will a whole lot shorter too.<br />

Center at the <strong>Madison</strong> County Fairgrounds, London.<br />
Nearly 20 wellness and mental health organizations<br />

community members on the many services available in<br />
times of crisis.<br />
Children and their families enjoyed a wide array of<br />
fun activities. More than 30 area individuals, organizations<br />
and businesses donated prizes and treats for the<br />

County can help residents with sewage repairs<br />
The <strong>Madison</strong> County Health Department has $84,500 to help existing<br />
homeowners with repairs or the replacement of their existing<br />
household sewage treatment systems.<br />
The Ohio Water Pollution Control Fund, through the Ohio Environmental<br />
Protection Agency, provided the funds to help residents<br />
decrease the risk of untreated sewage polluting <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County’s waterways, groundwater and land from failing systems.<br />
This is an ideal program for homes connected to systems that<br />
are 25 to 30 years old and may be starting to see signs of needing<br />
repair or replacement. Examples of signs that a system may need<br />
to be repaired or replaced include:<br />
• raw sewage, black or gray water on the ground surface or ditch<br />
when the weather is dry;<br />
• soapy water on the ground or in the ditch;<br />
• unexplained wet area in the yard during dry weather near<br />
where the system is located;<br />
• wet spots over the leach field area;<br />
• motor for the aeration system not working;<br />
• the system’s lift station pump and/or grinder pump not working;<br />
• missing tank risers or covers, grates over sections of aeration<br />
system;or<br />
• strong sewage odor or foul odor around the system outside;<br />
To be eligible for funding to help fix such problems, a homeowner<br />
must be living in the home connected to the failing system for at<br />
least six months prior to application for assistance. <strong>Madison</strong> County<br />
Public Health must inspect the home’s sewage treatment system<br />
and determine that it is failing.<br />
Homeowners also must have a total household income below or<br />
at one of the following three funding categories and provide documents<br />
and provide documentation (a recent federal tax form or current<br />
income statements):<br />
• 100 percent funding—household of one to four people, maximum<br />
income of $24,600; five people, $28,780; six people, $32,960;<br />
seven people, $37,140; eight people, $41,890. The owner pays zero<br />
percent of the repair costs.<br />
• 85 percent funding—household of one to four people, maximum<br />
income of $49,200; five people, $57,560; six people, $65,920; seven<br />
EasterJoy<br />
What does Easter mean to you?<br />
Maybe as a child it meant an<br />
Easter-egg hunt followed by the<br />
promise of a long, playful summer.<br />
As an adult,<br />
there are many reasons<br />
to celebrate Easter. Whatever your<br />
reason, hopefully, it means the<br />
beginning of something good.<br />
Funeral Home/Crematory<br />
people, $74,280; eight people, $82,640. Owner pays 15<br />
percent of repair costs.<br />
• 50 percent funding—household of one to four people,<br />
maximum income of $73,800; five people, $86,340; six<br />
people, $98,880; seven people, $111,420; eight or more<br />
people $123,960. Owner pays 50 percent of repair costs.<br />
Owners who do not qualify for 100 percent funding<br />
are required to pay their portion of the repairs. Rentals<br />
properties, commercial properties and new-build homes<br />
are not eligible. Existing houses already connected to a<br />
public sanitary sewer system are not eligible. Prior expenses<br />
for repairs, tank pumping or system connections<br />
are not eligible. Expenses to expand the size of the system<br />
due to remodeling the house are not eligible.<br />
The program does not cover costs if only the plumbing<br />
is repaired in the home. Limited plumbing costs<br />

School board applauds student and staff excellence<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Recognition of achievements dominated<br />
the <strong>April</strong> 16 <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains school board<br />
meeting.<br />
Among those congratulated were the district’s<br />
top DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance<br />
Education) students. Brooklyn Randles won<br />
a 32-inch smart television as the top pointgetter<br />
in the class. Her participation, vigilance<br />
and leadership stood out above the<br />
rest. Top Gun honors went to Carmine<br />
Hood, Wyatt Stone, Remington Wight and<br />
Damien Withers, all of whom read their<br />
winning essays aloud at DARE graduation.<br />
All of the students are fifth-graders.<br />
Mike Siders, coach of the high school’s<br />
powerlifting team, praised his athletes for<br />
making school history as the district’s first<br />
state champions. The boys’ and girls’ teams<br />
both won titles at the 32nd Annual Bill Mc-<br />
Clain Ohio State Powerlifting Meet.<br />
“The challenge is to keep this train<br />
going,” Siders said, thanking the administration<br />
and the community for their support<br />
of the program.<br />
The district has started a new program<br />
by which they choose one staff member per<br />
month to recognize for good work. This<br />
month, they recognized Sam Stires, custodian<br />
for the kindergarten through sixthgrade<br />
building.<br />
“There’s none better,” said Brad Miller,<br />
elementary school principal, adding that<br />
Stires is thorough, knowledgeable, helpful<br />
and personable.<br />
Additionally, the board approved a list of<br />
88 seniors who are scheduled to participate<br />
in graduation ceremonies on May 24.<br />
Personnel<br />
The board voted 4-0 to terminate the employment<br />
of the school district’s technology<br />
coordinator. Board member Cory Coburn<br />
was absent.<br />
The district placed the employee on administrative<br />
leave on Jan. 22 following “a<br />
report of his serious misconduct involving a<br />
minor student, as well as his misuse of district<br />
technology.” The board initiated termination<br />
proceedings on March 19 and sent<br />
written notice to the employee, who did not<br />
demand a hearing on the matter.<br />
In other personnel matters, the board accepted<br />
the resignation of Jenny Wethington<br />
as head girls’ soccer coach and Jon Phillip<br />
Emrick as head mechanic. Emrick has<br />
worked for the district for 42 years.<br />
“We appreciate all of his hard work and<br />
dedication to <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains,” said board<br />
President Mark Mason.<br />
Committees<br />
The facility and grounds committee is<br />
discussing the idea of establishing an auxiliary<br />
athletic field behind the existing baseball<br />
field. The auxiliary field would reduce<br />
wear and tear on the football field, which<br />

are: (from left) Brooklyn Randles, Carmine Hood, Wyatt Stone, Damien Withers and Remington<br />
Wight.<br />
several sports teams in the district use.<br />
Mason noted that the costs associated with<br />
establishing the additional field would be<br />
minor.<br />
The district’s communication committee<br />
is discussing the possibility of creating a district<br />
mobile app and redesigning the district<br />
website.<br />
The next <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains school board<br />
meeting is set for 7 p.m. May 14 in the district<br />
meeting room at the elementary building.<br />
