Shekinah 

cancels fest 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

After a 39-year run, Shekinah Christian 

School in Plain City will no longer host its 

annual festival and benefit auction. 

School leaders announced the festival’s 

cancellation to supporters and donors in a 

letter dated Aug. 26. The event traditionally 

took place the second weekend in September. 

“While we know this news will be a disappointment 

to some, ultimately we feel it 

is the best decision for our school moving 

forward,” the letter stated. 

Known as “The Biggest Little Festival in 

Ohio,” the event often drew more than 2,000 

visitors to the school grounds on Lafayette- 

Plain City Road and featured crafts, an auction, 

children’s activities, music and food. It 

was the school’s largest fundraiser. The 

school serves students in grades K-12 and 

has an enrollment this year of 117. 

Brice Kauffman, Shekinah’s administrator, 

said several factors contributed to the 

decision to cancel the festival. 

The festival’s revenues varied from year 

to year, making budgeting difficult. Manpower 

also was an issue. 

“Over the years, it became increasingly 

hard to fill so many volunteer roles,” Kauffman 

said. The festival required approximately 

250 volunteers and year-round 

planning. 

Additionally, legal counsel informed 

school leaders last year that their system of 

offering tuition breaks in exchange for volunteering 

at the festival could have negative 

tax implications for the school and for 

volunteers. The resulting change meant the 

school itself could no longer directly benefit 

financially from the festival. 

The school’s changing demographics also 

played a part in the decision, Kauffman 

said. Whereas the student population once 

was primarily Mennonite, now students 

come from a large variety of churches and 

religious backgrounds. 

“Shekinah is much, much different than 

it was 20 or 30 years ago... The culture has 

changed,” Kauffman said. 

It is time for something new, he continued, 

and time to refocus on the school’s mission 

to inspire students, even in how the 

school goes about fundraising. 

“It’s really sad to see something that’s

The weather was perfect 

for the 17th Annual Plain 

City Classic Car Cruise-In 

held Aug. 24 on Main and 

Chillicothe streets in Plain 

City. The event attracted 

collector cars, trucks and 

motorcycles. Car aficionados 

gathered around their 

favorites, and the owners 

were thrilled to talk about 

the time, money and love 

they’ve poured into their 

vehicles. 

Dave Reiselt of Plain 

City wanted a cool car 

that didn’t require a lot 

of shining up. The 1941 

Chevy rat rod he 

proudly exhibits is reminiscent 

of the Ed Roth 

“ratfink” look of the 

1960s. “Ed Roth is a famous 

custom-car designer 

and graphic 

artist, and I wanted to 

mimic the cartoon effect 

of that era,” Reiselt said. 

Sun shines on classics in Plain City 

Susan and Gary Bertsch of Anna, Ohio, enjoy displaying 

their 1922 Model T Touring car at car shows. A woman 

who stopped to admire it at the Plain City cruise-in smiled 

when she saw the original purchase price of $348. She 

said to her daughter, “Look, honey, you could afford this 

one!” The cost to purchase the car today would be approximately 

$21,000. It features a crank start and woodspoke 

wheels.

Sam and Barbara Parks of Marysville exhibit their 1935 Ford threewindow 

coupe prostreet. Sam bought the hot rod as a wedding gift 

for his wife. “I used to drag race, and I like this body style,” he said. 

“The ’35 has a different style than the ‘32s and ‘34s.” The gear shift 

was custom made out of California, and the interior is made of all-Italian 

leather. Barbara picked the paint colors for the car. “I liked the 

Candy Lime Gold and Ivory Pearl colors made by A House of Colors, 

a top-end line of paint,” she said. The car runs on E85, an eco-friendly 

ethanol fuel blend. Sam always places a bouquet of roses on the front 

seat. He said, “Every lady needs a rose.”

Mt. Sterling close to wrapping up state finance fixes 

By Drew Garrett 

Staff Writer 

The village of Mount Sterling continues to make 

progress in getting back on the right track with the 

State of Ohio. 

On Aug. 26, village council passed several pieces of 

legislation addressing long-term, systemic problems. 

The newly adopted policies correct issues of concern and 

findings put forth by the Ohio Auditor of State’s office 

when the village was put on fiscal emergency in 2017. 

The issues stemmed partially from the corruption and 

mismanagement perpetrated under the watch of former 

village administrator and convicted felon, Joe Johnson. 

The new policies range from detailing the procedure 

and setting parameters for conducting purchase orders 

to establishing common-sense guidelines for use of village-owned 

vehicles and other property. 

The lack of such policies allowed for past administrators 

and employees to spend village money with near 

abandon and use village property for personal gain or 

recklessly to calamitous effect. 

A commission that includes representatives from the 

state auditor’s and treasurer’s offices oversees the village’s 

financial management. This will remain the case 

until the state lifts the village’s fiscal emergency status. 

According to Mount Sterling fiscal officer Courtney 

Bricker, the village needs to resolve just four remaining 

findings in order for the state to lift the fiscal emergency. 

She estimates the work should be done some 

time in December. 

In other action, council authorized Mayor Billy Martin 

to enter into contract for a second time with AJ Asphalt 

to begin the next phase of the village’s street and pothole repairs. 

Council held a first reading on an amendment to the village’s traffic 

control law. The change would authorize the village administrator to 

close streets for repair, put up stop signs, and perform other functions 

necessary to facilitate traffic safety and convenience.

been going on for 39 years come to an end. We know people are 

going to miss it,” Kauffman said. 

Over the last few years, school leaders have been making 

changes to Shekinah’s tuition and financial aid systems to make finances 

more sustainable and predictable. Those changes will help 

to fill the void from the loss of the festival proceeds. 

The school is looking at new ways to fill the remaining funding 

gap, as well as provide its families and students with new opportunities 

for fellowship and connection with the broader community. 

“We plan to do some mini community events,” Kauffman said. 

What form those events take is yet to be determined. Kauffman 

said announcements will be posted to the school’s webpage and 

Facebook page.

Painting with plants: Living artwork at Fairhaven 



When students at Fairhaven School returned 

to classes on Aug. 19, a colorful work 

of living art greeted them outside the front 

door. 

Bright orange, dusty pink, sunshine yellow, 

royal burgundy, wild indigo. 

“This has been my palette for the summer,” 

said Monica Price. 

The Choctaw Lake resident used flowers 

as her paints and a flowerbed as her canvas 

to create a butterfly garden at the entrance 

to the school which sits along State Route 

38 north of London. 

Her inspiration was the late Dorothy Allison, 

who founded Fairhaven as a school for 

children ages birth to kindergarten who 

have developmental disabilities. Price, now 

retired, worked as a teacher at Fairhaven 

for 17 years. It was Allison who hired her. 

To pay tribute to her mentor and to put 

her training as a Madison County Master 

Gardener to work, Price volunteered to create 

and maintain the garden. 

She researched what plants attract butterflies 

and hummingbirds then plotted out 

her design. In went three kinds of butterfly 

bushes, two varieties of milkweed, parsley,

Monica Price, an artist, Master Gardener and retired teacher, created a butterfly garden 

at Fairhaven School in London as a tribute to one of her mentors and as a learning tool 

for students. 

Any resident 18 years of age or older who 

resides in Madison County can seek election 

to the county’s Soil and Water Conservation 

District (SWCD) board of supervisors. 

Candidates are either nominated by the 

SWCD nominating committee or can register 

themselves for the ballot. 

This nominating committee works 

throughout the year, looking for candidates 

who are interested in the conservation and 

protection of natural resources in the 

county. 

Interested individuals can stop at the 

SWCD office, 831 U.S. Rte. 42 NE, London, 

to pick up a nomination petition. Potential 

candidates must secure at least 10 signatures 

from residents and/or landowners in 

the county and submit the petition to the 

district by the close of business on Oct. 10. 

Candidates that meet the eligibility requirements 

and deadline will be listed on 

the ballot for the special election, which will 

take place on Nov. 14 at Der Dutchman 

Restaurant, 445 S. Jefferson Ave., Plain 

City. Voting booths will be open from 5 to 6 

p.m. 

Soil and water conservation districts, located 

in all 88 Ohio counties, are legal subdivisions 

of state government that provide 

natural resource management assistance to 

county landowners and other units of local 

government. The district is funded by the 

Madison County commissioners and funding 

from the Ohio Department of Agriculture. 

The district is governed by a five-member 

board of county residents. Board members 

serve staggered three-year terms. 

Ramp closure set 

at I-70 and Rte. 29 

At 8 p.m. Sept. 3, the ramps from I-70 

eastbound to State Route 29 and State 

Route 29 to I-70 eastbound will close for 

three weeks for reconstruction. The detour 

is I-70 eastbound to U.S. Route 42 to State 

Route 29 or reverse. 

All ramps at I-70 and State Route 29 are 

expected to reopen on Sept. 24, weather permitting. 

The ramp from U.S. Route 42 to I-70 

eastbound was expected to reopen on Aug. 

28 before the ramps at State Route 29 close. 

flowers, learn about insects—everything they 

do when they read one of Price’s favorite 

children’s books, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” 

by Eric Carle. 

“They also can learn about plants and 

watch the growing process,” Price said. 

Planning for the garden started in the 

spring. Price enlisted the help of Madison 

Lawn Care, which donated mulch, perennials 

and some labor to the project. Since putting 

the plants in the ground, Price has 

returned regularly to water, fertilize and 

deadhead them. 

“It’s relaxing to me. I’d rather do it than

This isn’t the first project Price has done 

as a Master Gardener. She also volunteers 

at the Farm Science Review and was part of 

an award-winning after-school gardening 

program at Monroe Elementary in the 

Jonathan Alder school district. Master Gardeners, 

an Ohio State University Extension 

program, provides volunteers with extensive 

horticultural training in exchange for 

public service. 

Though summer is winding down, Price 

said she plans to keep the color going in the 

butterfly garden by planting late-season annuals. 

“I love that you can see the garden from 

the road,” she said.

Midway and South Solon projects need to be rebid 



Improvement projects for two Madison 

County villages are on hold following bid 

openings at the Aug. 27 county commissioners 

meeting. 

The village of Midway is looking to install 

a tornado siren and two new cisterns 

for fire protection. No bids were submitted 

for the project, which is estimated to cost 

$100,000. 

Midway received Community Development 

Block Grant (CDBG) funds last year 

to help pay for the siren, cisterns and several 

other projects. CDBG funds are administered 

through the Ohio Office of 

Community Development and go toward 

improvements that benefit low- to moderate-income 

populations. 

Whitaker Wright of CDC of Ohio, the 

county’s CDBG coordinator, said he will 

talk to the engineering firm that set the 

specs for the siren and cisterns project to 

figure out what to do next. The work will go 

back out to bid in some form, he said. 

Midway’s other CDBG projects include 

drainage improvements on State Route 38 

and installation of a walking path and 

handicap-compliant parking at the village 

park. Those projects should go out to bid in 

January, Wright said. Originally, they were 

supposed to go out to bid this summer, but 

the Ohio Department of Transportation is 

doing work on Route 38 that will alter the 

sidewalk project. Wright added that the 

drainage and walking path projects “simply 

take longer the design.” 

Also on hold is a project in the village of 

South Solon. The county received CDBG 

funding to tear down two vacant houses— 

one on High Street where a fire caused the 

second floor to collapse and one on Main 

Street that has been vandalized and presents 

a safety concern with an old cistern on 

the property. 

Engineers estimated the cost to tear 

down the houses to be $19,700. The county 

received one bid for the project. A company 

out of Urbana quoted $21,722. The county 

cannot accept a bid that is more than 10 

percent over the estimate. The Urbana company’s 

bid overshot that limit by $52. By 

law, the project must go back out to bid 

which should happen in the next couple of 

weeks, Wright said.

Safety Expo attracts record-breaking crowd 

Ellie Peters, 7, of London taps out a Morse code message at the Madison 

County Amateur Radio Club booth. Members of the club, formed 

in 1979, enjoyed answering questions about their equipment. 

By Theresa Hennis 

Staff Writer/Photographer 

The Madison County Safety Expo 

welcomed a record crowd to the 

Madison County Fairgrounds in 

London on Aug. 24. A total of 1,048 

people—577 children and 471 adults— 

attended the event, the most in its 

18-year history. 

The Madison County Emergency 

Management Agency hosts the expo 

in collaboration with emergency responders, 

law enforcement, health 

care providers and others. The event 

offers something for everyone, from 

hands-on safety learning adventures 

to clowns making balloon sculptures. 

This year, the expo also included 

a dedication ceremony honoring 

Brad Haynes of London, a firefighter 

and paramedic who died in a 

helicopter accident on Jan. 29. A memorial 

bench was placed in front of 

the flag pole overlooking a field on 

which emergency helicopters land 

each year for the expo. Haynes enjoyed 

watching the helicopters land 

at past expos, and his family and 

friends felt it was the perfect spot to 

place the bench. 

Taner Smith, a firefighter with Central Townships Joint Fire District, 

helps Noah Cleaver, 9, of London direct the water spray from a fire 

hose to put out a pretend fire on a mock-up of a burning house. 

Cleaver successfully hit his target, learning just how difficult it can be 

to maneuver a heavy fire hose. 

(From left) Jefferson Township Fire Chief 

Paul Van Horn of London, Madison County 

EMD Lt. Trish Hall of Mechanicsburg, and 

Chaplain Larry Baker of West Jefferson 

lead a ceremony dedicating a bench in 

memory of Brad Haynes of London, a firefighter 

and paramedic who died in a helicopter 

accident on Jan. 29. Baker, who 

serves Pleasant and Prairie townships, in 

addition to the 4 Unit Police Fire Retirees 

of Ohio (PFRO), said, “Over 600 times in 

the Bible, we’re called to remember. Our 

memories influence who we are, and we 

are called to look out for one another. Brad 

was always about doing that. What did we 

say after 9-11? ‘We will not forget.’ And we 

will not forget Brad Haynes and his service 

to our community.” Members of Brad’s 

family attended the ceremony and expressed 

how thankful they were for the 

outpouring of love and donations from the 

community for the memorial bench.

Da Clown, of Cincinnati

Plain City and his brother,

Several clowns were at the 

expo to entertain the 

crowd. 

Nurse and paramedic Amber Vandenbos (left) of Cedarville answers 

questions about a Care Flight helicopter and crew from Gracie Salley, 

5, of London as Salley’s mother, Shelley Salley, lifts her son, Wyatt, 1, 

into the helicopter. The Care Flight helicopter, part of Miami Valley 

Hospital of Dayton and based in Urbana, was a highlight of the expo 

for children and parents alike. 

The Madison County Expo 

was established in the wake 

of the tragedy of the terrorist 

attacks on the United States 

in 2001. It has been held 

yearly since 2002.

at the above address. 

Madison County and the City of London plan to undertake the project described above with the Federal funds cited above. Any interested person, agencies, and/or groups, who have any 

comments regarding the environment, are invited to submit written comments for consideration to the County and the City at the addresses above listed prior to close of business on 

September 9, 2019. 

Madison County and the City of London are certifying to the State of Ohio, that the County and David B. Hunter, in his official capacity as President, and London, and Patrick Closser, 

in his official capacity of Mayor, consent to accept the jurisdiction of Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision-making, 

and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, Madison County and the City of London may use the Federal 

funds, and the State of Ohio will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. 

The State of Ohio will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following grounds: (a) the certification was 

not, in fact, executed by the responsibility entity’s Certifying Officer; (b) the responsible entity has failed to make one of the two findings pursuant to Section 58.40 or to make the written 

determination required by Section 58.35, 58.47, or 58.53 for the project, as applicable; (c) the responsible entity has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at subpart E of 24 CFR 

Part 58 for the preparation, publication and completion of an Environmental Assessment; (d) the responsible entity has omitted one or more the steps set forth at Subparts F and G of 24 

CFR Part 58 for the conduct, preparation, publication and completion of an Environmental Impact Statement, (e) the recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 

24 CFR Part 58 before release of funds and approval of the environmental certification by State, or (f) another federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR 

Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. 

Written objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58), and must be addressed to the: State of Ohio; Environmental Officer; 

Office of Community Development; P.O. Box 1001; Columbus, Ohio 43216-1001. 

Objections to the Release of Funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by the State of Ohio. No objections received after September 27, 2019, which is 15 days 

after it is anticipated that the State will receive a request for release of funds, will be considered by the State of Ohio.
