New festival in Plain City
Chalk it up to creativity
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
There are art festivals,
and then there are
chalk art festivals.
“One of the things
that is truly unique
about a chalk art festival
is that you get to see
people making art,” said
Hilary Frambes. “You
get to see the process
and talk to and interact
with the artists.”
Frambes, an awardwinning
artist and community
art educator, is
bringing that unique experience
to Plain City
with the first-ever Plain
City Chalk Art Festival.
The event, which
comes complete with
live music and food trucks, is set for 10 a.m.-
6 p.m. Sept. 14 at Bicentennial Park in the
heart of the village near the historic clock
tower. Admission is free.
A Plain City resident, Frambes travels
around Ohio and out-of-state to create chalk

art at festivals. Along
the way, she has made
many friends in the
chalk art community.
“I thought it would
be fun to bring a chalk
art festival here because
there isn’t one in this
area,” she said. “I was
shooting for eight or 10
artists. I was thrilled to
end up with 13.”
Frambes will be creating
artwork that day,
too, bringing the tally to
14. Most of the artists
are from Ohio, but a few
are from Michigan and
Indiana.
“Some of them are
like me where art is
their main gig, and then
we have some who have
9-to-5 jobs during the week and do this on
the weekends,” Frambes said.
All of artists will get started on their
masterpieces at 10 a.m. Each will work on
a patch of asphalt that measures roughly

Transporting local veterans to D.C. war memorials
Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Terry Mackey, a retired Marine from
West Jefferson, traveled to Washington
D.C. last year with military veterans from
Logan County to visit the various war memorials.
He was so moved by the experience
that he is coordinating a similar trip for
Madison County veterans.
Mackey has teamed up with Madison
County Veterans Services. The plan is to
charter a motor coach for a three-day trip
over a weekend in September of next year.
The exact dates are not yet set.
The trip will be much like those offered
by Honor Flight, an organization that transports
veterans to Washington D.C. by plane
for a one-day, there-and-back visit to the
war memorials. By comparison, the threeday
bus trip offers a slower-paced alternative
for veterans who do not wish to fly,
Mackey said.
The “Madison County Veterans to D.C.”
bus will depart from London on a Friday
morning. Veterans will spend Saturday visiting
Arlington National
Cemetery, the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier,
the Iwojima statue, and
the memorials for the
various wars. The group
will head back to London
on Sunday morning.
Participating veterans will be treated to
transportation, meals and lodging throughout
the trip.
“The veterans won’t pay anything.
They’ve paid enough, in my opinion,” said
Mackey, who serves as a driver for Madison
County Veterans Services and is commander
of Madison County Disabled Veterans
of America Chapter 19.
The trip is open to Madison County veterans
of World War II, the Korean Conflict,
and the Vietnam War era who were honorably
discharged.
“Any veteran is welcome, but our preference
is for those who have not already visited
the memorials in Washington D.C.,”
Mackey said.
“The veterans won’t pay anything.
They’ve paid enough, in
my opinion.”
–Terry Mackey, organizer of
Madison County Veterans to D.C.
The bus will have
room for approximately
27 veterans plus their
companions, a nurse,
and volunteers. Each
veteran is welcome to
bring one companion.
While the veteran travels
at no charge, the companion must pay
$250, which covers their transportation,
lodging and meals. The cost is the same for
volunteers.
Applications for veterans and companions
are due by June 30, 2020. They can be
found at madisoncountyvetstodc.org.
The cost to sponsor a veteran for the trip
is $300. Mackey is in the process of raising
funds to cover those costs. So far, he has
collected $1,400. His goal is $15,000. The
motor coach service alone costs $5,000, he
said. He would like to have most of the
funds gathered by May or June so he can
put down deposits on the motor coach and
the hotel rooms.
Tax-deductible donations can be sent to:
“Madison County Veterans to D.C.,” 984
London Rd., West Jefferson, OH 43162. Any
amount of donation is welcome, he said.
“We’re also working on some fundraisers,”
he added.
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7005 in
West Jefferson and American Legion Post
105 in London will be hosting events. Details
are forthcoming.
Mackey is putting together several special
touches for the trip. Each veteran will
receive a commemorative hat and an embroidered
shirt. He hopes to arrange for a
motorcade escort for the trip’s departure.
“I’m also going to talk to the schools to
have students write letters about what a
veteran means to them, and then we’ll have
mail call on the bus,” he said.
Mackey is traveling with the Logan
County group again later this month to
gather information for further planning for
the Madison County trip. He hopes to make
the Madison County trip an annual event.

ere’s a new bull on the block at Battelle Darby
By Andrea Cordle
Staff Editor
Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park welcomed a new bison to its
herd.
In mid-August, a 2-year-old male bison arrived at the park from
The Wilds in Cumberland, Ohio. He will not be a permanent part
of the herd, but rather a visiting bull that will stay for about a year.
He has one goal—to reproduce.
The bull has joined
the seven female bison
already at the Metro
Park.
“The herd was very

“The herd was very accepting
of him.”

accepting of him,” said Kevin Kasnyik, park manager at Battelle
Darby Creek Metro Park. “He fit right in. There were no issues.”
In 2011, the park introduced six female bison to roam on nearly
50 acres of prairie grass. In 2013, the park introduced its first male
to mate with the female bison. In 2014, the first calf was born at
Battelle Darby Creek.
According to Kasnyik, the last visiting male impregnated five
bison.

“We thought we had four calves with the
introduction of the last male, but we were
surprised with a fifth one,” said Kasnyik.
According to the park manager, some of
the calves born at Battelle Darby Creek remain
with the herd, while others are sent to
The Wilds.
“We have a really nice relationship with
The Wilds,” said Kasnyik.
A female bison can carry a baby for about
nine months. There is usually just one calf
but occasionally there are twins. Calves are
born in the spring and summer. They weigh
approximately 45 pounds at birth.
According to the park’s manager, the
bison receive a vet checkup in the fall and in
the spring.
“We will do our best to see if any of them
are pregnant, but sometimes you just don’t
know until they have the calf,” said Kasnyik.
“We’ll have a good idea though.”
Since the introduction of the bison at
Battelle Darby Creek Park, the park has
seen an increase in visitors trying to catch a
glimpse of North America’s largest land
mammal.
“They provide a great photo opportunity,”
said Kasnyik. “They are majestic to look at.”
The park hosts a public bison program
once a month in addition to working with
many school groups.
“The bison give us a great opportunity for
education,” said Kasnyik.
The bison also help the life cycle in the
park’s prairie. The park’s staff will mow and
start prairie fires to prevent invasive
species, but the bison play a large role in
“I can move better and sleep better. I am in
a much better mood. I can do more with my
family and I’m actually looking forward to
the summer so I can work in my yard. I’m

maintaining the prairie. According to Kasnyik, destruction is part
of what is needed to keep the prairie thriving. The size alone of the
bison helps in that aspect. Bison also graze and produce manure
that brings in insects important to the environment.
“The bison and the environment come together,” said Kasnyik.

Metro Park, visit www.metroparks.net. The park is located in far
eastern Madison County, near West Jefferson, and far western
Franklin County.

Frambes said visitors can expect to see anything from portraits of
famous people to fantastical creatures. It could be anything,
Frambes said.
“You will see these drawings come alive throughout the day,”
she said.
Visitors will have a chance to do a little chalk art themselves in
the children’s chalk area. Despite the name, adults are welcome,
too, Frambes said. Chalk will be provided.
Complementing the art is a line-up of live music, starting with
solo acoustic act Byrd Manring, a Plain City resident, who will play
a variety of tunes from 10 a.m. to noon. A Bassic Approach II, a duo
from the Columbus area, will play everything from The Beatles to
Soundgarden from noon to 2 p.m. The Haz Benz, a four-piece band
that includes drummer Jeff Frambes of Plain City, will take the
stage from 2 to 6 p.m., playing classic rock from the 1960s’ to the
‘90s.
Three food trucks will be on site throughout the day: The Smiling
Daisy Bus offering breakfast and lunch options, Coffee Connections
of Plain City offering beverages, and Fuller Flavor Curbside
Grill offering hamburgers, hotdogs and more.
The Uptown Plain City Organization is the event’s main sponsor.
Several businesses also are lending support.

Village starts to define its brand with new logo
Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
The village of West Jefferson has a new
logo.
Gone is the eagle clutching a banner emblazoned
with the town’s name and incorporation
date.
The new logo, designed by 7Forty Designs
out of London, features images of a
family, the village hall, and leaves.
“We want to get across the message of
‘live here, work here, grow here,’” said
Mayor Ray Martin about the new logo.
“With new developments coming, we need to
brand ourselves to be attractive to industry
and the people coming here. We wanted a
logo that tells you something about our community.”
The old logo was approved by council in
2009. The new logo was approved by council
on Sept. 3, but not before a couple of council
members expressed their disappointment
that the logo showed up on village vehicles
and promotional materials before the vote
was taken.
Steve Johnston, council president, took
responsibility for the logo being used ahead
West Jefferson’s new logo
of the vote. He said he “overstepped his
bounds” and it was his mistake. Logo options
had been considered during village development
committee meetings.
Martin apologized, too. He had the logo
printed on sleeves for canned and bottled
beverages.
“I apologize for my part in it. I got excited
about it and went a little fast,” he said.
Council member Mike Conway likes the
logo but was unhappy that it was used before
council’s approval.
“That really upset me... We have a
process and procedure in place and that’s
not being followed,” he said.
Grant funding support

workspace and targeted services for entrepreneurs,
recently received a Rural Business
Development Grant from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) to serve
small and emerging businesses in Madison
County.
Cultivate is working with the city of London,
Madison County Chamber of Commerce,
Madison County Community Improvement
Corp., Downtown London Association and
other area organizations to support and attract
entrepreneurs in the community.
The USDA grant is providing $160,657

County entrepreneurs, with $69,247 of
those funds provided by the USDA. The

West Jefferson’s old logo
Council member Howard Wade Jr. said
he agreed with Conway’s comment.
Council voted 7-0 to accept the new logo.
The logo will appear on village letterhead
and other documents, as well as promotional
materials and village vehicles. The
village paid $2,000 for the logo development
and a software package for reproducing the
logo in various forms.
In other business, council approved the
annexation of 2.272 acres into the village
from Jefferson Township. The land is located
on the west end of town, between the
new State Route 29 intersection and Enterprise
Parkway, on the south side of U.S.
Route 40.
West Jefferson Plumbing & Heating submitted
the annexation request. The company
plans to move its operations from the
east end of town to the annexed property.
Council also approved a contract with
Choice One Engineering for plan preparation,
bidding procedures, and construction
services for the village’s 2020 asphalt resurfacing
project. The contract is for $15,100.
The village is seeking resumes from individuals
interested in serving as clerk of
council. Debbie Dileo will be leaving the position
soon. Johnston said the job requirements
are on par with that of a paralegal;
the person who holds the job deals with
everything from annexations to tax incentives.
“Debbie has definitely been an asset to
this council and the village,” Johnston said.
The parks and recreation department
will host a concert from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Sept.
10 at the West Jefferson Community Center,
230 Cemetery Rd. Purk & Jones will perform.
Trunk-or-treat will take place at the
community center from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 26.
The next village council meeting is at 7
p.m. Sept. 16.
DELINQUENT REAL ESTATE AND
MANUFACTURED HOME TAXES
Ohio Law requires the publication of unpaid real
estate and manufactured home taxes each year.
The names of all delinquent taxpayers will be
published on October 13, 2019. Payment of
delinquent taxes must be received by the
Madison County Treasurer by September 27, 2019
to remove your name from the list.

Addressing bullying with jazz and chocolate
By Theresa Hennis
Staff Writer
David Wells, a jazz instrumentalist from
West Virginia, will perform his Chocolate
Jazz Concert on Sept. 15 at Newport United
Methodist Church. The event includes
music and a variety of chocolate desserts.
Wells, whose stage name is Dave Bond,
has shared the stage with top artists in the
“smooth jazz” genre. He performs Chocolate
Jazz concerts to help fund his non-profit
Chocolate Jazz Foundation. The foundation’s
mission is to educate everyone, especially
children, about bullying. Wells was
bullied when he was in school, so he knows
the pain children experience at the hands of
bullies in school and on social media.
“I held my first Chocolate Jazz Concert
in Canada,” Wells said. “It’s been my focus
for the past four years.”
When Wells performed in central Ohio
several years ago, he reached out to area
churches to ask if they would welcome a
concert. Wayne Stuntz, currently the pastor
at Newport United Methodist Church, invited
Wells to perform at the church where
he was pastor at the time. The two have remained
friends for the past 15 years.
“Dave is a gifted performer and a Christian
who truly cares,” Stuntz said. “He
played at my daughter’s wedding, and we
even discovered he is a distant relative of
my son-in-law.”
The work Wells does on behalf of chil-
T
T
dren touched Stuntz’s heart. Stuntz has
counseled children who come to him to talk
about how they have been bullied.
“Bullying is so prevalent through social
media, and it’s harder there, I think, because
bullies can say whatever they want,
and they don’t have to do it face-to-face,” he
said. “It’s easier to hide behind a profile because
they can be anonymous.”
At the age of 9, Wells began learning to
play flugelhorn and trumpet, and he made
his professional music debut at the age of
13. Wells was raised in Dallas, Texas. His
dad is a Baptist minister, and he has seven
brothers and sisters.
“I went to a school where all the kids had
nice clothes and cars. Our family wasn’t as
fortunate, and the kids made fun of my appearance,”
Wells said. “I didn’t fit in, and it
got so bad that I left school, got a job, and
paid for my own private schooling.”
Bullying didn’t stop just because Wells
grew up. Even after successfully releasing
15 solo projects, charting 12 singles in the
Top 20 on the national jazz charts, creating
a nationally syndicated weekly radio show
in 50 different markets across the country,
and becoming a Nashville promoter, he still
endures bullying on social media for speaking
out against it.
And Wells isn’t the only person in his
family who has been bullied.
“My daughter got bullied in high school,”
he said. “To hear the stories of the kids
idd Fa
mily Funeral Homes
and Crematory
Fr
riends
who’ve been bullied breaks your heart.”
He talked to another parent at a doctor
appointment, and she told him her child saw
another child being bullied at his school, and
when he went to the principal to report it,
they told him to mind his own business.
“The problem is that 85 percent of bullying
has no intervention. The parents aren’t
stepping up, the kids that see it don’t step
up, and administration doesn’t step up. You
have to take care of the problem right
away,” Wells said.
When Wells speaks at schools, he educates
students on techniques to prevent bullying,
shares stories about bullying, and
talks about how to help someone who is
being bullied.
The Chocolate Jazz Concert is set for 3
p.m. Sept. 15 at Newport United Methodist
Church, 80 Center St. SE, London. A
freewill offering will be taken to support the
Chocolate Jazz Foundation.
Wells also will perform during worship
services that same day—at 9:45 a.m. at Newport
United Methodist Church and at 11:15
a.m. at Lafayette United Methodist Church,
61 Second Ave. SE, London. Stuntz serves
as pastor at both churches and invites the
public to attend.
For details, call Newport United Methodist
Church at (740) 852-9408 or Lafayette United
Methodist Church at 852-3613.

Saved by the Belt Club
www.madisonmessengernews.com
London resident Samantha Johns and
her 1-year-old daughter, Lyric, joined Ohio’s
“Saved by the Belt Club” on Aug. 22. Their
safety belts saved them from being seriously
injured or killed in a crash. The incident occurred
on June 30 on State Route 665 in
Fairfield Township in Madison County.
Lt. Robert Curry, commander of West
Jefferson’s Ohio Highway Patrol Post, presented
Samantha and Lyric with “Saved by
the Belt” certificates signed by Ohio Department
of Public Safety Director Thomas J.
Stickrath and Col. Richard S. Fambro, Patrol
superintendent.
“Samantha and Lyric are living testimony
to the effectiveness of safety belts,”
Curry said.
In Ohio in 2018, 419 people were killed
in traffic crashes where a safety belt was
available but not in use.
The “Saved by the Belt Club” is a joint effort
by the Ohio Department of Public
Safety and more than 400 Ohio law enforcement
agencies. The club is designed to recognize
people who have benefited from their
decision to wear safety belts.
Samantha also received a “Saved by the
Belt” license plate bracket.

The 69th Annual West Jefferson Ox Roast is in the books. The Labor Day weekend festivities took place Aug. 30-

Ox Roast sandwiches were all part of the fun. – Messenger photos by Jeff Pfeil

Miss first attendant Maddison Mullins, Little Miss first attendant Julia Turvy, Little Miss Layla Hayes-Wilkins
and Little Miss second attendant Brylee Huff. A total of 5,000 pounds of meat was roasted overnight in the pit
to make the festival’s famous sandwiches.
