Digging up 

yesterday 

By Theresa Hennis 

Staff Writer 

Last week, London Public Library traveled 

back in time as staff members opened 

a time capsule that had been buried on the 

property for 20 years. 

The public was invited to see what was 

inside at an opening ceremony held Sept. 

23. Many in the room reminisced about the 

people who provided items for the capsule. 

They also talked about the difference two 

decades can make in a library, its technology 

and its patrons. 

In 1999, the theme for the library’s 

summer reading program was “The Incredible 

Library Time Machine.” As part of the 

program’s activities, the library asked citizens 

to pick out items to include in the library’s 

first time capsule which was then 

buried on Aug. 21 of that year. 

Bryan Howard, current library director, 

and Mary Anne Wood, youth services coordinator, 

were as surprised as the audience 

by some of the artifacts they pulled from 

the capsule. 

“Things change very quickly in the 

world and especially in the library world,” 

Howard said. 

Among the capsule’s contents were a 

1999 library card registration form, a library 

card, library receipt, and photos of library 

staff members, some of whom still 

work at the library today. August 1999 edi-

A time capsule buried at London Public Library 20 years ago was 

opened on Sept. 23. The words written on the exterior are: “The Incredible 

Library Time Capsule.” The capsule contained library documents, 

newspapers, and photos of library staff members from 1999. The library 

plans to bury a new time capsule, filled with items relevant to 

2019, to be opened in 2039.

Bigger loan 

for more 

trash cans 

By Andrew Garrett 

Staff Writer 

The city of London is issuing new trash 

cans to residents. A change in financing for 

the cans sparked debate at the Sept. 19 city 

council meeting. 

The initial legislation covered financing 

for enough cans to cover the city’s existing 

households and businesses. No provision 

was made for future residents moving to the 

city, other than the fact that they would pay 

for their cans up front rather than over the 

course of a year, as is the case for current 

residents. 

The city can only purchase the cans in 

quantities of 100 or more per order, according 

to Mayor Pat Closser. Also, there is a 

six- to eight-week lag from the time of order 

to the time of delivery, meaning new residents 

would be without cans during that 

time. 

According to Closser and Steve Scaggs, a 

member of the Board of Public Utilities 

(BPU), the amended legislation allows the 

city to take out a loan with Merchants Bank 

for $290,000 at 1.9 percent interest—enough 

to cover the original allotment of cans, an 

additional 200 to 300 cans for future residents, 

and pay on the interest. The original 

legislation called for a $270,000 loan. 

The need for additional cans and their financing 

was discussed at a special BPU 

meeting on Sept. 17. 

Council member Anthony Smith, sponsor 

of the original legislation, did not attend 

the special BPU meeting. He told the rest of 

council he was against taking out a loan to 

finance the cans, arguing that BPU could 

afford to pay for all of them up front. 

After the meeting, Scaggs said it was not 

possible for BPU to purchase the cans directly 

out of its funds, at least not without 

seriously depleting those funds. 

Smith also contended that not only will 

the current citizens be paying for the cans 

designated for future residents, the city also 

will be making a profit when it, in turn, 

sells them to new residents. 

The administration stated that the cans 

are being sold to residents at cost, and that 

the city is not profiting from the venture. 

The cost of the cans remains at $7.20 per

County health commissioner shares levy info 

By Andrew Garrett 

Staff Writer 

Madison County Health Commissioner 

Chris Cook attended the Mount Sterling village 

council meeting Sept. 23 to talk about 

the levy the county health department has 

on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. 

Madison County-London City Health 

District, as it will appear on the ballot, is 

asking for a 1-mill renewal levy with an additional 

0.15 mills for the next five years. 

The additional millage may seem like an 

odd amount, Cook said, but it is the exact 

amount needed for the department to function. 

If approved, the levy will cost homeown-

ers $11.04 in taxes per half year on a house valued at $100,000. 

The health department serves the entire county by providing 

over 60 essential services, Cook said. These services include investigating 

illness outbreaks, providing nurses for the school systems, 

water testing, birth certificates, restaurant inspections and immunizations. 

Besides these traditional services, the health department has 

grown to keep pace with the needs of a changing society, and now 

includes programs dealing with bioterrorism response, the resurgence 

of “old school” diseases such as measles, vector-borne viruses 

such West Nile and Zika, as well as the opioid epidemic. 

The department receives no money from the county commissioners, 

Cook said. Beyond the levy, Madison County relies heavily on

grants. 

“Forty percent of our budget is federal and state grants,” he said. 

Despite having made staffing cuts and other budgetary constraints, 

the health department needs the support of the county’s 

voters if it is to continue providing residents with the quality and 

necessary care they have come to expect, Cook said. 

“Needs have outgrown our capacity,” he explained. 

During the business portion of the meeting, village council approved 

a measure authorizing the village administrator to assume 

the powers of a chief of police when it comes to functions deemed 

necessary to provide safe flow of traffic in the village. 

Council also adopted a resolution declaring the parking lot at 16

cided that people would need to know what kinds of music children 

liked in 2019. She chose a Kidz Bop31 CD. 

“I wonder if people will listen to it or even know what it is,” she 

said. “I want to be here in 20 years when they open the capsule.” 

The library staff picked items for the new capsule, too. They 

chose audio visual materials they think might be obsolete in the future, 

photos of what the library looks like now, and documents that 

show the current state of the library. They plan to add some surprise 

pop-culture items, as well. 

The new time capsule is scheduled to be opened on Sept. 23, 

2039.

tions of the Madison Messenger and Madison Press also were 

among the items. 

“I think it will be fun for the next generation to open the next 

capsule we bury and see what we put in,” Wood said. 

The three grand prize winners in this year’s summer reading 

program, themed “A Universe of Stories,” got to choose items to put 

in the new time capsule. Their choices reflect their personal interests 

and curiosity about what the future holds. 

Samahra Horace, 11, chose to write herself a letter about what 

she is like now so that her future self will remember what mattered 

to her in 2019. 

“I wrote about what I’m doing in middle school, my grades, my 

height and weight so in 20 years I’ll remember what I was like,” 

she said. 

Matthew Dwyer, 11, chose Harry Potter glasses for his item. 

“Books are always changing,” he said. “I put in the Harry Potter 

glasses I wore with my Harry Potter Halloween costume. Will people 

even know about the Harry Potter books in 20 years or know 

they are his glasses?” 

Dwyer’s sister, Eva, 9, was a grand prize winner, too. She demonth 

for one year. 

As for the low interest loan, “I just don’t want to miss that opportunity,” 

said council member Rex Castle. 

Safety Service Director Joe Mosier said Merchants Bank was offering 

the loan through Farm Science Review, which ended on Sept. 

19, but he wasn’t certain about the offer after that time. 

Ultimately the legislation passed. Smith cast the only “no” vote.

From stress to composting, Farm Science covers it all 

By Theresa Hennis 

Staff Writer 

Farm Science Review, held Sept. 17-19 

at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in 

London, offered educational talks, activities, 

and opportunities to speak with experts 

from The Ohio State University 

College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental 

Sciences. 

The Review adds new exhibits and educational 

talks every year to reflect the 

needs of an ever-changing farming culture 

and the communities it serves. 

During an Ask the Expert session titled 

“We Got Your Back,” experts addressed the 

increasing need for resources for farmers 

under stress. Challenging weather conditions 

during this year’s growing season 

added to the many stressors farmers already 

bear. Finding healthy ways to manage 

that stress was a key topic. 

Not dealing with emotional and physical 

stress can lead to addictions, abuse, and 

even suicide. The “We Got Your Back” experts 

handed out pamphlets about OSU’s 

gotyourbackohio.org online resource that 

points farmers to a multitude of services 

geared toward support for them and their 

families. 

“My father farmed and I farmed, and the 

stigma was that you didn’t ask for help. You 

just sucked it up and moved on,” said moderator 

Chris Bruynis of Greenfield. 

Bruynis talked about the Healthy Mind 

Platter concept, which addresses seven 

daily mental activities to create well-being: 

focus time, play time, connecting time, 

physical time, time in, down time, and sleep 

time. 

Another stressor farmers face is public 

perception of the farming industry. Some 

consumers mistrust what they perceive as

An Ohio State University “Ask the Expert” team leads discussions about stress in farming 

and resources available to farmers and their families during the annual Farm Science 

Review, held Sept. 17-19 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London. The team included: 

(from left) Dee Jepsen of Amanda, agricultural safety leader for OSU Extension; 

moderator Chris Bruynis of Greenfield; Jami Dellifield of Ada, Family and Consumer Sciences 

educator; Jenna Beadle of Columbus, director of state policy for Ohio Farm Bureau;

medical director for Ohio Mental Health 

and Addiction Services. 

science-driven farming. They want a more 

hands-on approach to their food and to have 

actual conversations with the farmers who 

produce it. 

“When we look at the technology coming 

down the pike, will those technologies be accepted 

by consumers?” Bruynis asked. 

“Farmers find that they have to adapt to alternative 

sources for income, such as shifting 

from commodities to consumable food 

products at farm markets and stores. Farming 

is becoming more bi-modal.” 

With the shift toward exploring more 

sustainable living modes and people’s interest 

in growing their own food, Ohio State 

University tapped Thom deHaas, Lake 

County’s agriculture and natural resource 

educator, to talk about composting at Review’s 

Gwynne Conservation Area. 

“Composting is in vogue right now,” de- 

Haas said. “People want to be kind to the 

environment and live sustainable lives.” 

Those who attended the presentation got 

to see a working compost system and ask 

questions about starting their own or improving 

the home systems they already use. 

“Composting at first blush looks like a 

daunting task,” deHaas said, “but my message 

is that everybody can do something, 

even if it’s a plastic coffee container on their 

counter that they can put vegetable scraps 

and banana peels into.” 

Farm Science Review once again offered 

exciting new ideas and concepts. The educational 

programs it showcased provided 

farmers and consumers alike the chance to 

learn more about each other’s viewpoints 

and concerns for the future of farming.

farmers and to see the healthy mind platter

ere’s science behind our obsession with pumpkin 

moments 

Every year around this time, 

my obsession begins. 

All things pumpkin. 

Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin Christine Bryant 

butter, pumpkin candles, pumpkin 

donuts, pumpkin pie Blizzards—I love it all. 

Frankly, as we seem to be stuck in our second summer and the 

leaves are still a few weeks away from transforming into a palette 

of warm reds, browns and oranges, I could use some pumpkin to get 

me in the fall spirit. 

In fact, as I write this, I’m drinking a pumpkin spice latte. 

If you are like me, you appreciate the aroma and feeling you get 

when cinnamon, nutmeg and clove attack your scent and taste receptors. 

These sweet, warm spices instantly sweep you away, giving 

you the same comforts of hearing leaves rustling in the wind and 

crunching under your feet on a crisp, cool morning. 

Here’s why you shouldn’t apologize for your obsession with 

pumpkin: It’s science. 

You heard that right. Studies show that we’re conditioned from 

a very early age to love fall and everything associated with it. 

Think about it. As a child, what are some of our fondest memories? 

For some, it’s going back to school and seeing friends again. 

For others, it’s trekking through the neighborhood with a plastic 

orange pumpkin or pillow case from your bedroom full of candy. Or, 

gathering around the dinner table that’s stacked with comfort foods 

for a Thanksgiving feast, followed by an afternoon of football. 

We associate these memories with something we love and enjoy, 

and therefore tie these memories to a specific season. 

Even for adults, it marks a new beginning for many. As summer 

comes to an end, time turns into a clean slate. In fact, a study published 

in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found there 

is a relationship between time and motivation, and that seasons can 

serve as temporal landmarks that structure our perception of time. 

There’s also the fact that many establishments only offer special 

flavors associated with a certain season (think peppermint in the 

winter, or peach in the summer). This has both economic and psychological 

implications and may partially explain why we’re especially 

drawn to a certain flavor at a specific time of the year. 

As it turns out, pumpkins also hold historical significance in 

America. According to the History Channel, pumpkins have been 

grown in North America for 5,000 years. 

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation adds that pumpkins 

were cultivated independently by indigenous people in North America 

and South America, and that researchers have found seeds at 

archaeological sites dating back more than 6,000 years. 

Pumpkins also helped to sustain colonists after the crops they 

brought with them from Europe didn’t survive. 

While the most popular pumpkins today are grown to be porch 

decor rather than a staple in our diets, pumpkins are still a $5-billion-a-year 

industry, according to the foundation. 

Thanks to our pumpkin-flavored staples that appear on store

shelves each year in September, even thousands of 

years later we still know how to enjoy pumpkin, even 

when it doesn’t make sense (there are recipes out there 

for dishes like pumpkin chili and pumpkin burgers). 

So next time you feel a little guilty about loving 

everything pumpkin or that you are conforming to a cultural 

phenomenon, just remember, your pumpkin bliss 

is a little bit of history, science, expert marketing and 

just plain goodness all in one.

Know concussion symptoms 

With kids playing together again at 

recess and competing in fall sports, 

like football and soccer, it is important 

for parents to be aware of concussion 

symptoms. 

A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes 

the way the brain normally works. Concussions are 

caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. They can 

also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head 

and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what 

seems to be a mild bump to the head can be serious to a 

developing brain and should be addressed correctly. 

Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness 

and without a noticeable injury. Signs and symptoms 

of a concussion can show up right after an injury 

or may not appear or be noticed for hours or even days 

after the injury. It is important to watch for changes in 

how your child or teen is acting or feeling, if symptoms 

are getting worse, or if he or she just “doesn’t feel right.” 

If your child reports to you any of the following symptoms, 

or you notice one or more symptoms in your child, 

seek medical attention right away and remain alert for 

symptoms that worsen over time. 

• One pupil (the black part in the middle of the eye) 

larger than the other 

• Headache or “pressure” in the head that gets worse 

and does not go away 

• Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination 

• Repeated vomiting or nausea 

• Slurred speech 

• Appears dazed or stunned 

• Is confused about events 

health 

Susie Hyden 

• Answers questions slowly 

• Repeats questions 

• Can’t recall events prior to or 

after the hit or fall 

• Loses consciousness (even 

briefly) 

• Shows behavior or personality changes 

• Forgets class schedule or assignments 

• Difficulty thinking clearly, concentrating or remembering 

• Feeling more sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy 

• Balance problems or dizziness 

• Fatigue or feeling tired 

• Blurry or double vision 

• Sensitivity to light or noise 

• Numbness or tingling 

• Does not “feel right” 

Children and teens with a concussion should never 

return to sports or recreation activities on the same day 

the injury occurred. They should delay returning to 

their activities until a health care professional who is 

experienced in evaluating for concussions says they are 

symptom-free and it’s okay to return to play. This 

means, until permitted, they should not return to physical 

education class, sports practices or games, or physical 

activity at recess. 

If you have questions about concussions, you can contact 

Madison County Public Health at (740) 852-3065 

or at info@madisonpublichealth.org. 

Susie Hyden is the vital statistics registrar at Madison 

County Public Health.

The following pets are up for adoption at 

the Humane Society of Madison County, 

2020 Plain City Georgesville Rd., West Jefferson. 

Call (614) 879-8368. 

Riley is 3 years old 

and weighs about 45 

pounds. She is neither 

too big nor too small, 

but just right. She is 

easygoing, somewhat 

independent and occasionally 

enjoys a game 

of fetch. She never 

messes in her kennel and, when people walk 

past, she greets them calmly like a nice 

young lady. Riley would do best as an only 

furbaby in the home. She is a favorite of volunteers 

at the shelter because she walks so 

nicely on a leash. 

Madison is about 9 months old. She has 

been at the shelter 

since May 26 after 

being fostered for 

some time in a nice 

family’s home. She is a 

petite kitty that is an 

absolute sweetheart. 

When you walk into 

the room, she is all meows and comes trotting 

over to you looking for love. She follows 

you wherever you go until she finally decides 

to find a roost and hang out where she 

can look out the window.

The London Rotary 

Club is pleased to honor 

senior Lucas Brenstuhl as 

London High School’s 

September Student of the 

Month. 

Students of the month 

are selected by school administrators 

based on 

their academic and extracurricular 

achievement 

and positive character. 

Brenstuhl has a 4.1 

grade points average and 

is ranked 19th in his 

class. His favorite classes 

are Spanish and anatomy. 

He has run cross country 

for four years, earning three varsity letters, 

and was named as an MSL All-Academic 

in 2016 and 2017. He is this year’s 

team captain. In track, Brenstuhl has 

earned two varsity letters. He also is a 

member of the varsity cheerleading team, 

Teen Leaders of London, student council, 

National Honor Society and Fellowship of 

Christian Athletes. Over the summer, he 

traveled with his Spanish class to Costa 

Rica. 

When asked to name a school staff member 

who inspires him, Brenstuhl named 

Spanish teacher Janelle Wilson. 

“Profe Wilson is an inspiration to me 

because she cares for the well-being of her 

Lucas Brenstuhl 

students while also providing 

amazing education 

of the Spanish language,” 

he said. 

About Brenstuhl, Wilson 

said, “Lucas is a hard 

worker and goes above 

and beyond in all he does. 

I’ve known Lucas for the 

past three years and have 

had the pleasure to be his 

Spanish teacher for two 

years. He is outgoing, 

helpful and always willing 

to put himself out there 

and try new things. He 

was on the Costa Rica 

class trip we took this 

past summer and was an integral part of 

how successful and fun the trip was. I look 

forward to seeing Lucas be successful in 

wherever his life takes him.” 

After graduation, Brenstuhl plans to 

go to college to study nursing and eventually 

obtain an MSN to become a nurse 

practitioner. He is the son of Rick and 

Charity Brenstuhl of Grove City. 

The London Rotary Club has a proud 

history dating back to 1929. It is a member 

of Rotary International, a volunteer 

organization of 1.2 million business and 

professional leaders united worldwide to 

provide humanitarian service and help 

build good will and peace.

Mount Sterling Mayor 


• Marci L. Darlington 

23 N. Market St., Mount Sterling 

Occupation: Parks and recreation director, 

village of West Jefferson 

Previous service in public office: Current 

council member, village of Mount Sterling 

Education and/or military experience: 

1976 graduate of Madison-Plains High 

School, nursing assistant training (past), 

activity director training (past), Ohio certified 

prevention specialist assistant through 

Chemical Dependency Professionals Board 

(past), certified aquatic facility operator 

(current), mental health first aid trained 

(current), Narcan trained (current), suicide 

prevention trained (current), grant writing 

course 

Community activities/honors: Currently 

member of West Jeff Advocacy Group and 

Madison County We Care Coalition, previous 

Madison County Chamber Board member, 

past notary public, past State of Ohio 

Make A Difference Day top 10 award winner, 

senior class president Madison-Plains 

Class of 1976, Madison County Chamber 

Entrepreneur of the Year Award, PAX partner, 

West Jefferson Food Pantry board 

member, 14 years of organizing Make A Difference 

Day projects throughout Madison 

County, wrote and was awarded over 

$80,000 in grants for the village of West Jefferson 

Parks and Recreation Department in 

a three-year period. 

Goals if elected: I believe I have the resources, 

energy and determination to help 

the village of Mount Sterling heal from the 

deep financial impact created by the previous 

administrator from 2012 into 2016. Rebuilding 

our community requires regaining 

the respect and trust from both our citizens 

and the leadership within our county and 

state. I plan on working on new partnerships 

and collaborations with our surrounding 

communities and our own businesses in 

Mount Sterling. With transparency and conversation, 

we can begin the journey towards 

the progress and revival of this community 

that we love and call our home. 

Through town forums and conversations 

with our citizens and business leaders, I will 

strive to better communicate the issues surrounding 

high water bills, the efforts to fund 

and sustain a grocery store in a small rural 

community, as well as how a strong village 

council works through legislation that effects 

our village. I believe in the wisdom of 

people, not just those who sit in the council 

chairs or the mayor’s seat, but those ideas 

brought by concerned citizens wanting to 

better their community. If elected mayor, I 

will have dedicated hours for those one-onone 

conversations from citizens willing to 

share their positive recommendations, as 

well as their concerns. It will be my policy 

to share with council the thoughts and concerns 

of our citizens and to reinforce the belief 

that one person’s well intended ideas 

may not always be what is best for our community, 

even if that person holds a political 

seat in the village. 

• Rebecca (Becky) Martin

Market Crew, a group that promotes businesses 

and entrepreneurship in Mount Sterling. 

Goals if elected: To help grow the community 

through businesses, new housing. 

Expand opportunities at our parks. I’ve 

been working diligently at getting a dog 

park and a splash pad. Beautification and 

cleaning up the community is high on my 

priority list, as well. Infrastructure is old 

and needs a lot of attention.

to build positive relationships with the 

local residents, local government and state 

officials by involving them with local activities 

and decision making. Continue to implement 

new committees for the betterment 

of our village. Continue to improve our 

streets. Expand our water/sewer services 

beyond village limits. Establish a grocery 

store that is large enough to support our 

local residents.

• Lowell Anderson 

139 N. High St., Mount Sterling

Bachelor’s degree in communications from 

Indiana University 

Community activities/honors: Volunteer 

at Mount Sterling Church of the Nazarene 

Goals if elected: My goal is to foster an 

engagement between leadership and the 

community. I want to bring back the trust 

and pride in our great community that has 

been lost in the last decade. On the issue of 

the massive debt that is being carried by 

Mount Sterling and its constituents (created 

by Joe Johnson and his administration), we 

need to find solutions to bring in new businesses 

and revenue that will help support 

the village…i.e. partnerships with venues 

inside and outside of Mount Sterling. We 

need to get that burden off the backs and 

shoulders of the community members. Our 

creativity in bringing in opportunities, new 

events, and connecting families in Mount 

Sterling is pivotal for the success of our village.

Community activities/honors: Baseball 

umpire, Block Watch, military historian, 

church council, rock and roll historian. 

Goals if elected: I would like to move forward 

and see our village grow. There have 

been some hard times, but I see a great future 

for our village. Columbus gets closer 

every day. We must prepare for growth that 

will be coming. I hope to be ready for that 

growth. Mount Sterling must be ready for 

the future.

Continually improving infrastructure of village, 

steady growth of village commerce. 

Improve our parks with new equipment and 

make handicap/special needs accessible. 

This council has been very good at working 

together, without one individual agenda, to 

improve and grow the community.

Previous service in public office: Not yet 

Education/military experience: Bishop 

Ready High School 


at Voicecorps and Madison County Board of 

Elections 

Goals if elected: Council does a fine job 

when it comes to administration. Its biggest 

challenge is with communication. The construction 

projects that affect the residents 

here, for example, should be posted on its 

underused web page. As people and families 

plan their day, they need to be alerted when 

their water or electricity will be shut off or 

their street closed. I would like to see better 

communication given from the village to the 

villagers. Speaking as a resident, relying on 

social media for information is uncomfortable 

at best. 

• Richard King 

852 Kirkwood Dr., West Jefferson 

Occupation: Electrical contractor, selfemployed 

Previous service in public office: I have 

served on West Jefferson’s Charter Review 

Board and am currently in my third year as 

vice chairman on West Jefferson’s Zoning 

Board. 

Education/military experience: High 

school diploma and continued annual electrical 

education classes. 

Community activities/honors: I started 

my community involvement as a WJYAA 

soccer coach for four seasons. After my last 

season with the youth association, I continued 

as an assistant coach for the West Jefferson 

Middle School soccer team for three 

seasons. Then some of my time and electrical 

knowledge was volunteered towards our 

town’s famous Christmas in the Park. I 

have also volunteered my time for set-up, 

clean-up, and ticket booth for Christmas in 

the Park and the 4th of July Street Fest. I 

am a member of our local Quinlan karate 

dojo, where I have participated in the dojo’s 

performances for the nursing home, parades 

and pool. 

Goals if elected: I would like to work with 

current and new officials in the process to 

revitalize our parks. We have four parks in 

our town for our children that will not serve 

their purpose unless we can ensure a safe 

and enriching area for them to grow and 

play. My focus will also be on the subject of 

growth in our community. Growth in our 

community is approaching in an inevitable 

manner. I would like to be involved in ensuring 

this is smart growth for our community. 

When discussing growth, I would like 

to be involved in the planning of future developments 

to ensure our community still 

has open space, businesses can thrive, and 

our community members can still reach 

their daily destinations on walkable sidewalks 

in the main streets in our community. 

My goal is to approach growth as an investment 

into our local community.

sidewalks, etc. One of the main reasons I am 

running for council is to be a voice for the 

people.

Area students named National Merit semifinalists 

Two Madison County area students are 

among the approximately 16,000 high 

school seniors named as semifinalists in the 

65th Annual National Merit Scholarship 

Program. They are Kent Gingerich of Plain 

City, a student at Shekinah Christian 

School, and Caleb Arteaga of West Jefferson, 

a student at West Jefferson High 

School. 

More than 1.5 million juniors in about 

21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National 

Merit Scholarship Program by taking 

the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit 

Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served 

as an initial screen of program entrants. 

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing 

less than 1 percent of U.S. high 

school seniors, includes the highest-scoring 

entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists 

in a state is proportional to the 

state’s percentage of the national total of 

graduating seniors. 

National Merit semifinalists have an opportunity 

to continue in the competition for 

7,600 scholarships worth more than $31 

million to be offered next spring. To be considered 

for a Merit Scholarship award, a 

semifinalist must submit an application in 

which they provide information about their 

academic record, participation in school and 

community activities, leadership abilities, 

employment, and honors and awards. More 

than 90 percent of semifinalists are expected 

to attain finalist standing, and about 

half of the finalists will win a scholarship, 

earning the Merit Scholar title. 

The National Merit Scholarship Corp., a 

non-profit organization, and about 400 business 

organization and higher education institutions 

underwrite the scholarships.

the knowledge or consent of the person authorized to give consent 

and/or beyond the scope of their consent. As a result of your actions, 

on August 23, 2018, you were convicted of Theft, a violation of 

2913.02, in case number CR120180054 in the Madison County Court
