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.

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.
