Vacancy on MS 

village council 

By Andrew Garrett 

Staff Writer 

Mount Sterling village council has a vacant seat. Mike Bennett, 

who was appointed to council in March, tendered his resignation 

on Aug. 1. 

Bennett joined council (along with Craig Hix and Marci Darlington) 

after former council members Rebecca Burns, Tom Ward and 

Tammy Vansickle resigned in February. 

At council’s Aug. 12 meeting, Mayor Billy Martin read the following 

from Bennett’s resignation letter: “I regret to inform you 

that I am resigning from my position of village council immediately 

for personal reasons.” 

Martin said Bennett is moving to the Circleville area. 

Council unanimously voted to accept Bennett’s resignation. 

Council also voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to contract 

with Mark Pitstick for the position of village law director. The 

law director’s contract is up for renewal every two years, according 

to Pitstick. He has been in the position for 20 years, he said. 

Council also passed a measure allowing for the control of removal 

of grasses and noxious weeds on lots within the village corporation 

limits. Lawns must be maintained at a height of no more 

than eight inches. Properties with grasses or weeds exceeding this 

height will receive a posting from the village administrator or his 

designee ordering the property owner to comply within 48 hours. 

If the property owner does not, village agents will mow the lot and 

bill the property owner for the service. If the property owner fails 

to pay the bill, the village will place a tax lien on the property with 

the county auditor. 

Martin announced that the first phase of the village-wide pothole 

patching project is complete. He said that the largest, most offensive 

potholes in the areas most traveled in the village have been fixed. 

He said that the Cliffview Drive and Rosewood Avenue areas will 

be addressed in the second phase of the project. An exact start date 

was not given, but Martin said it won’t be long before work begins. 

All sorts of vintage vehicles, like this snazzy pickup, will line the streets during the 17th Annual Plain City 

Classic Car Cruise-In on Aug. 24. 

Vroom! Vroom! in Plain City 

On Aug. 24, the 17th Annual Plain City Classic Car 

Cruise-In will fill the streets of Plain City with collector 

cars, trucks and motorcycles. Uptown Plain City 

Organization (UPCO) hosts the event. Chapman Ford 

is the primary sponsor. 

From 1 to 8 p.m., vintage vehicles will line Main 

and Chillicothe streets. Bring your classic car, truck 

or motorcycle or just stop by to see classics like a 1957 

Thunderbird, a 1936 Chevy pickup or any of the other 

200 registered vehicles. 

DJ Noisy Neighbors will spin classic tunes, and 

local band, The Groove, will perform from 4 to 7 p.m. 

Food trucks will be available the entire show, and the

Alder board mulls rental policy for new athletic field 

Jonathan Alder school leaders are discussing whether they will allow outside rental of the newly completed 

synthetic turf athletic field at the high school. 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Jonathan Alder High School’s new synthetic turf athletic field is 

complete. Among the first events to take place on the field were football 

practice on Aug. 9, a meet-the-teams night and stadium dedication 

on Aug. 15, and two boys’ soccer games on Aug. 16. 

The school district’s teams aren’t the only ones excited about the 

new field. Groups outside the school want to play on it, too, and 

school leaders are deciding whether they will allow outside use and, 

if they do, at what price. 

“We’ve already had requests from different youth groups of our 

own who want to get on the field,” said Superintendent Gary Chapman 

about Jonathan Alder area youth sports programs. “They want 

to play on the field, to have the experience.” 

Chapman reviewed the district’s facility use policy at the Aug. 

12 school board meeting and asked board members if they think

TURF 

Continued from page 1 

changes are needed specific to rental of the 

synthetic turf field. 

Currently, the policy allows rental of the 

high school stadium. Fees depend on who 

wants to use it. There is no charge for 

Jonathan Alder residents, school groups, 

alumni, booster clubs, parent-teacher organizations, 

Scouts, youth recreation programs 

and adult education programs. The fee is 

$500 without lights or $750 with lights for 

local community groups, such as service 

clubs, the Chamber of Commerce, civic organizations, 

churches (for occasional use), 

adult sports groups, and the county arts 

council. The fee is $750 without lights or 

$1,000 with lights for other groups, such as 

businesses, churches (for regular use), and 

other schools. 

The facility use policy states that the 

school board considers the school premises 

to be “a community center operating in partnership 

with other groups within the community” 

and encourages community groups 

to use them. 

However, board president Steve Votaw 

said the circumstances associated with the 

new field are different, since the field was 

paid for primarily through private donations 

at a cost of over $500,000. 

He also stated, “If you ruin this turf, it’s 

a major expense, probably,” as opposed to 

repairing a grass field. 

Board member Shannon Foust said the 

district should discourage rental of the field 

or not offer it at all. 

Board member Christine Blacka wondered 

if the district would need to charge 

renters a separate fee to have a trained person 

run the new high-tech scoreboard, 

Madison County-London City Health District; 

• Paint Township tax levy—Renewal of 

1.1 mills for five years for maintaining and 

operating cemetery; 

• Pleasant-Darby Union Cemetery District 

tax levy—Renewal of 1 mill for five 

years for maintaining and operating cemeteries; 

• Pleasant Valley Joint Fire District tax 

levy—Replacement of 10 mills for five years 

for fire and emergency medical service; 

• Range Township tax levy—Renewal of 

1.2 mills for five years for maintaining and 

operating Range Township cemeteries; 

• Range Township tax levy—Renewal of 

0.6 mill for five years for maintenance, 

salaries, and purchasing supplies for the 

Range Township Volunteer Fire Department; 

• Sterling Joint Ambulance District tax 

levy No. 1—Renewal of 1.5 mills for five 

years for current expenses; 

• Sterling Joint Ambulance District tax 

levy No. 2—Renewal of 1.5 mills for five 

years for current expenses; 

• Village of South Solon tax levy—Renewal 

of 2 mills for five years for current expenses. 

which cost over $150,000. 

Chapman said the district has “never 

said no” to requests for renting the stadium. 

He also noted that some school districts 

charge, no matter who wants to use their facilities. 

Board members asked Chapman to look 

into what other districts do. They want comparisons 

for facility rentals in general, plus 

information from districts that have made 

the switch from grass to synthetic turf. They 

also asked him to look into possible liability 

issues and the scoreboard operation question. 

Chapman said he will report back with 

the information at the next school board 

meeting, set to take place at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 

9 at the high school. 

Also at the Aug. 12 meeting, Chapman 

shared key back-to-school dates for

Safety Expo slated for Aug. 24 at fairgrounds 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Every year, hundreds of children and adults flock to 

the Madison County Fairgrounds in London to see helicopters 

land, watch police dogs strut their stuff, and 

get inside looks at fire engines and other emergency 

equipment. 

It’s all part of the annual Safety Expo hosted by the 

Madison County Emergency Management Agency 

(EMA). This year’s event is set for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Aug. 24. 

“There will be several exhibits to provide a fun, safe 

and interesting hands-on learning adventure for children 

to meet our local first responders and to practice 

safety lessons,” said Debbie Sims, EMA director. 

Last year, approximately 850 people attended the 

expo. Everything is free, from admission to food. 

Among the event’s features are K9 demonstrations, 

Touch-A-Truck displays, the state EMA’s safe room display, 

fire safety demonstrations, COSI Science Spots, 

and landings by medical emergency helicopters. 

The Friends of Madison County Parks and Trails, 

with assistance from law enforcement representatives, 

will run a bike rodeo. Children are invited to ride bikes 

through the different stations to learn about bicycle 

safety. Children who don’t already have a bike helmet 

will receive one. 

Health and emergency response agencies will provide 

information on seatbelt safety, mental health, peer 

pressure, bullying and other safety topics. 

At 10:30 a.m., a bench at the fairgrounds will be dedicated 

to the memory of Bradley J. Haynes of London, a firefighter 

and paramedic who died in a helicopter accident on Jan. 29 of this 

year. 

The expo also includes bouncy houses, balloon sculptures, face 

painting and caricatures. Additionally, visitors can enjoy hamburgers, 

hot dogs, bratwursts, chips, pop, and an ice cream social. 

Visitors are asked to use the Garfield Avenue entrance to the 

fairgrounds. The event will go on, rain or shine. For more information, 

call Madison County EMA at (740) 852-4200.

construction, manufacturing jobs, or the 

military may be the cause. Family in 

the home were also exposed.

$30 billion is set aside for asbestos 

victims with cancer. Valuable settlement

Mabel Agnes (Scott) Davis, born on Aug. 29, 1930, in Vanceburg, 

Ky., went to be with her Heavenly Father on Aug. 10, 2019. Mabel 

moved to London from Cincinnati with her family in 1970. She was 

a homemaker once she had children, until the youngest started 

school. This is when she started cooking for Madison-Plains Schools. 

Mabel loved being outdoors where she always had her 

flower and vegetable gardens. She canned or froze 

everything she could. She picked wild blackberries for 

her famous blackberry cake, or she would climb cherry 

trees to make her cherry pies. She made banana and 

zucchini breads to freeze or give away. As gifts, she 

would make her peanut butter pie. She loved giving her 

baked goods to people. Mabel was very involved in her 

children’s and grandchildren’s lives. She loved them all 

dearly. She was there to support all of them in any sport 

or activity they were involved in. She was active in the 

Madison-Plains PTO, was a 4-H advisor for many years

United Methodist Church of London where she helped 

in the nursery, served as an usher and was always 

available to help in the kitchen preparing for the annual 

baked steak dinner. As her grandchildren went through 

school, they would get off the bus at “grandma’s” house 

with a snack ready for each of them. Mabel left the 

school system in 1987 with the urging of her dearest 

friend, Marie (Nibert) Roberts. She accepted a food service 

position at London Correctional Institute. This is

Schools approve tax agreement 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Jefferson Local school board members gave the 

thumbs-up to a CRA/TIF financing agreement for new 

industrial development, albeit with a money-generating 

twist for the district. 

The board unanimously approved a Community 

Reinvestment Area/Tax Increment Financing agreement 

on Aug. 12, alongside a school district donation 

agreement with Pizzuti Development. 

The donation agreement–in the works for months 

as part of an effort to recoup some of the money the district 

loses with abatements in CRA/TIF development 

areas–provides the district with one cent per developed 

square foot of space. 

According to David Harper, school board president, 

the funds will be released to the district “when the (village) 

issues an occupancy permit and notifies the district.” 

Superintendent William Mullett previously said there 

is a misconception about the amount of taxes the district 

collects from West Jefferson’s industrial park TIF, which 

is approximately $200,000. Because of the agreement, 

the district also forgoes property tax for the area. 

The agreement with Pizzuti is for space developed 

during the life of the tax abatement. 

The district recently passed a resolution approving 

a 100 percent property tax abatement for an 840,000 

square-foot speculation warehouse, which now could 

generate $8,400 annually for Jefferson Local Schools 

under the one-cent agreement. 

Similar abatement legislation was passed for a 205- 

acre Duke site at Park 70. 

“School district taxable boundaries decrease with tax 

exempt space,” Harper had said previously. “Examples 

include Metro Parks expansion, the OSU vet farm, religious, 

church and other such exemptions, the Enterprise 

Commercial Park, Battelle and government 

owned facilities.” 

In other action, the board approved filling two teaching 

slots–one at the middle school and another at the 

high school in the English department. Mullett said the 

positions were the only new certified hires for the 2019- 

20 school year. 

Extracurricular contacts were awarded to: Nick 

Houk, high/middle school assistant athletic director; 

John Koehler, physical fitness; Jennifer Siddiqi, mock 

trial advisor; and Mike Harkleroad, Envirothon advisor. 

Helping to feed hungry children 

Madison County Farm Bureau board 

members present a check for $1,600 

to Tracy Kronk, founder of Sufficient 

Grace, a non-profit organization that 

provides school children in need 

with food to take home. The organization 

serves children in seven 

school districts in Madison, Union 

and Clark counties. On hand for the 

check presentation were: (front row, 

from left) Mary Griffith, Priscilla Powers, 

Tracy Kronk, Andra Troyer, Dale 

Rapp; (back row) Mike Vallery, Jared 

Troyer, Kyle Young and Jonathan 

Frances. The Farm Bureau donates 

to several local causes using membership 

funds. This year, in addition 

to Sufficient Grace, the group supported “Ag in the Classroom” for 400 students at Madison-Plains Local 

Schools, Breakfast on the Farm which fed 1,800 people, and youth exhibitors at the Junior Fair Livestock 

Sale. Donations to Sufficient Grace may be sent to P.O. Box 92, West Jefferson OH 43162. 

• Treat clothing and gear, such as pants, boots, socks and tents, 

with a product containing permethrin, or buy permethrin-treated 

clothing and gear. 

• Wear long pants, long sleeves and long socks. Tuck pant legs 

into socks. 

• Wear light colors to make it easier to see ticks. 

If you find a tick attached to the body, here are some tips for 

safely removing it: 

• Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s 

surface as possible. 

• Pull it away from your skin with steady, even pressure. 

• Do not twist or jerk the tick, which can cause the mouth parts 

to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the 

mouth parts with tweezers. If you are unable to do this easily with 

clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. 

• Do not use petroleum jelly, a hot match, nail polish or any 

other “folk” remedies to remove a tick as these methods do not work. 

• Dispose of the tick in a sealed bag and be careful not to crush 

it with your fingers. 

• If you have flu-like symptoms after finding a tick attached to 

your skin, see a doctor immediately.

Celebrating completion of the London Lions Club bridge at Cowling Park are: (front row, 

from left) Amy Rees, Access Cowling; Lions Club members Barbara Rife, Ray Chamberlain 

and Dick Hughes; (back row) Lions Club President Jim Bates, club members Mike 

McMahen and Ken Weimer, and London Mayor Patrick Closser. Looking on in the background 

are employees of the Madison County Engineer’s Office. 

Bridge installed at park 

The London Lions Club opened a new 

bridge at Cowling Park on North Main 

Street in London. The bridge spans the 

creek along the park’s east side to provide 

walkers with a convenient way to enter the 

main park area from Walnut Street. 

The bridge was built to celebrate 100 

years of Lions Club service to humanity and 

serves as a visible reminder of the organization’s 

contributions to the community. The 

bridge was built in conjunction with construction 

of the Access Cowling playground 

to make Cowling Park accessible and inclusive 

to everyone. 

The London Community Organization’s 

Access Cowling project includes construction 

of a multi-purpose path that will connect 

the bridge to Main Street. 

“The Lions’ Bridge demonstrates what 

can be accomplished when different governmental 

entities and non-profit organizations 

focus on achieving a common goal,” said 

London Lions Club President James Bates. 

“On behalf of the Lions Club, I express our 

heartfelt gratitude for the cooperation that 

resulted in the construction of the bridge.” 

“This is another great addition to Cowling 

Park and the continued growth of the 

Access Cowling project,” said London Mayor 

Patrick Closser. “I would like to thank all of 

those involved, especially the London Lions 

Club for their support and vision.” 

Checking out the cheetah 

Mount Sterling Public Library hosted the Columbus Zoo and the Cheetah Conservation 

Fund Aug. 12 at the Mount Sterling Community Center. A crowd of over 50 people 

attended the event and had the opportunity for limited interaction with an actual cheetah. 

The program was the last in a series of events and activities associated with the 

library’s summer reading program.


Flags for Heroes returns 

The London Rotary Club is gearing up 

for its 2nd Annual Flags for Heroes. The 

club invites the public to celebrate the heroes 

in their lives by sponsoring American 

flags in their honor for display Sept. 12-15 

on the Madison County courthouse lawn. 

A hero can be a member of the military, 

police, fire or other first responder who puts 

his or her life at risk every day for others. 

Or they can be a community leader, pastor, 

teacher, coach, mentor, family member, 

caretaker—anyone living or deceased who 

has made a positive impact. 

The name of each hero will be read at a 

flag posting ceremony at 12:45 p.m. Sept. 12 

on the courthouse lawn at the corner of 

High and Oak streets in London. The public 

is welcome to attend. The names also will be 

featured in a special announcement in the 

Madison Messenger on Sept. 15. 

“Last year’s event recognized 29 local heroes,” 

said Brendan Shea, Rotary Club president. 

“We received very positive feedback 

and were pleased with the response. We 

look forward to hopefully continuing to grow 

the event this year. Recognizing and honoring 

our heroes builds gratitude and pride in 

our community.” 

For $25, community members can publicly 

recognize their local hero. Checks 

should be made payable to “The London Rotary 

Club” and mailed to: Marshall Geib, 

280 W. High St., London, OH 43140. Geib is 

the club’s treasurer. Each submission 

should include the hero’s name, the sponsor’s 

name and the sponsor’s address and/or 

email. All information must be received no 

later than Aug. 31. Donations are not tax 

deductible. 

Proceeds will help to support London Rotary’s 

community giving and initiatives 

throughout the year. The club recently donated 

to the Madison Health hospital expansion, 

London High School turf field project, 

London High School band booster club, London 

Area Baseball Council, Rotary youth exchange 

program, and the Meals On Wheels 

and Sufficient Grace food programs, among 

other local organizations and charities. 

Rotary’s motto is “Service above self.” 

The mission of Rotary International is to 

provide service to others, promote integrity, 

and advance world understanding, goodwill 

and peace through its fellowship of business, 

professional and community leaders. 

London Rotary meets every Thursday 

from 12:05 to 12:55 p.m. at the Madison 

County Senior Center in London. New members 

are welcome. 

For more information about sponsoring a 

flag for a hero or to inquire about joining the 

London Rotary Club, contact Brendan Shea

ADVISORY 

The National Trade Association 

we belong to has 

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 

and other materials 

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 

funds are based in US 

dollars. Toll Free numbers 

may or may not 

reach Canada. Please
