“On the way there, I thought, ‘Why are

we doing this?’”

Kristine Cromwell, a Marysville resident,

wasn’t sure what to expect when she

signed up for goat yoga at Pastime Park in

Plain City. The same went for her daughter,

sister-in-law, and cousin who accompanied

her. They were among 20 women

who took part in the June 3 event hosted

by Plain City’s parks and recreation department.

Originally planned as an outdoor activity,

the session was moved into the park’s

youth building due to wet weather. Inside,

the yogis were introduced to five baby

goats from Harrison Farm out of southeast

Franklin County. For the next hour, as instructor

Dana Bernstein of Bern Yoga led

the yogis through warrior, downward facing dog, and other poses,

Empress, Elvis Juice, Krispy Kreme, Ferris Buehler and Cameron

worked the room. In some cases, that meant chilling on a participant’s

mat or nibbling on a fanny pack.

When it came to Cameron, an all-white goat with a green ear

tag and a stoic expression, that meant staring at Kendall

Cromwell, 17, from a foot away for nearly the entire class. Kendall

was cracking up, and so was her mom.

“I felt like I was laughing at my daughter more than I was

doing yoga, but the next day I was sore, so I did get in a good session,”

Cromwell said.

Afterward, she tried to describe the experience to her 78-yearold

mother who had plenty of questions.

“She asked me if the goats were doing yoga. I said, ‘No, they

were just hanging out.’ She said, ‘I don’t get it.’”

When asked the big “Why?” question, Katherine Harrison,

owner of Harrison Farm, has answers.

“Being surrounded by animals allows you to connect with the

circle of life and your part in it as a human. It’s a way to reconnect

with the earth and your place in nature and the world,” she said.

Plus, goats + yoga = comic relief.

“In life, there are many distractions but few are as cute as baby

goats,” Harrison said. Yoga is about being in the moment, and it’s

hard not to be very aware and present when you are sharing space

Madison Editor

After a year away, Summer Jam returns

to downtown Mount Sterling June 17-19.

“Especially after COVID, it’s just nice to

have the opportunity to get out with your

children and let them have fun and to walk

through the downtown streets safely,” said

Becky Martin, a member of the Mount Sterling

Chamber of Commerce, the festival’s

host. “All of the shops will be open. There

will be rides and food trucks and entertainment.

It’s going to be a fun, festive atmosphere.”

All the action will take place on London

Street between Church and Columbus

streets and on Main Street one block to the

east and one block to the west of London

Street.

Hammer Time Pub, 27 S. London St., is

sponsoring live music each night. Bands

will play on the street in front of the pub.

Seating options include a roped off area directly

outside

the pub where

alcoholic and

non-alcoholic

beverages can

be purchased.

Festival goers

are welcome to

bring lawn chairs for the general seating

area in front of the stage. The pub is setting

up bleachers, too.

The Diamond Brothers will play music

from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s on Thursday

night. Super Pretty Fabulous will perform

“a cornucopia of rock music from the 70s to

now” on Friday night. The Firebirds will

round out the weekend, performing a wide

variety of music on Saturday night. Earlier

that day, Hammer Time is sponsoring kids’

karaoke.

Along with the music, contests and competitions

are a big part of Summer Jam.

Teams of two can sign up for the corn hole

tournament set for Friday night. The entry

fee is $10 per team. Prizes will be awarded.

Hairy Styles Dog Salon is the tournament

sponsor.

Baby and royalty contests for children

ages 0 to 18 years old are planned. On

Thursday, Junior Miss (ages 11-13) and

alizes military personnel who have died in

the line of duty. It involves doing 100

pullups, 200 pushups and 300 squats between

two one-mile runs. As payback,

Reed’s best friend signed her up for goat

yoga.

“I’ve done plenty of yoga but never goat

yoga. I was expecting a goat on my back and

goat poop everywhere,” Reed said.

Neither of those visions materialized. Instead,

Elvis Juice, a brown-headed guy with a full tummy following

the bottle feeding at the start of the session, took up residence at

the back of Reed’s mat and dozed off.

“I wasn’t sure about doing some of the poses because I totally

thought he was going to get a mouthful of my hair,” she said, laughing.

She left the class with her full head of hair and positive vibes.

“It was a nice hour of sweating, laughing, and having a good, relaxing

time,” she said.

Which speaks to Reed’s second reason for attending the class.

She invited her sister, who is going through a challenging time, to

participate, too.

“A few weeks ago, her 2-year-old son was diagnosed with a brain

tumor. It was good to see her get out, laugh, and relax a little bit,”

Reed said.

For Harrison and Bernstein, these stories are that much more

motivation to keep doing what they’re doing. The two connected several

years ago when Harrison served as Bernstein’s wedding coordinator.

Bernstein was completing her first round of yoga instructor

training. Harrison was operating her farm and doing event coordination

gigs.

The two became friends and business partners. Harrison’s goal

with her farm is to provide the public with a holistic experience that

promotes wellness, a connection with nature, and an appreciation

for farming. She does that through on-the-farm dinners, private

events, and tours. Another way is goat yoga with Bernstein as the

farm’s in-house guide.

“It wasn’t my plan to become a goat yoga instructor. The concept

didn’t even exist when I was going through my first teacher training,”

said Bernstein, who also teaches traditional yoga classes.

“Then Katherine invited me to teach at her farm, and we saw an

article on goat yoga. It all happened organically for us. Even though

it was a trend nationally, we were already creating a yoga community

at the farm. This just fit well.”

This is the duo’s sixth season of offering goat yoga. While most

of the classes take place on the farm, Harrison and Bernstein are

open to the idea of doing more off-site sessions like the one in Plain

City.

“Off the farm or not, yoga is a practice of presence. Poses, breathing,

goats—if all of that helps you to be present, we are doing yoga

regardless,” Bernstein said.

Linda Granger, Plain City’s parks and recreation director, said

she plans to poll the public to see if they’d like a repeat of goat yoga

on the village’s recreation calendar.

“If there is enough demand, we will probably do another goat

yoga session later in the season,” she said.

Time to get extreme at Cowling Park

Something on your mind?

Write a letter to the editor

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

Teens and adults have a new opportunity

to test their strength, agility, and grit.

On June 4-5, London city employees and

others volunteered their time to install a

six-station FitCore Extreme outdoor fitness

course at Cowling Park.

The six stations are as follows:

• A-Frame Cargo Net—Users climb up one

side, transition over the top beam, and climb

down the other side.

• Jump Hang—Users jump from a launch

ramp to grab a suspended cargo net, then

make their way across the underside of the

net to reach the other side without touching

the ground.

• Angled Overhead Ladder—Similar in appearance

to monkey bars, this obstacle tests

upper body strength. Steps at each end help

users to reach the rungs. Steps in the middle

allow for entry or dismount for a shorter

challenge.

• Unstable Bridge—Two planks hang from

a crossbar. Users hold onto both sides of the

planks and work their way across the expanse,

without touching the ground.

• Ledge Hanger—Users must have good

finger strength and upper body strength for

this station which features small ledges attached

at intervals across the width of a

large panel. There are three color-coded

challenge levels from which to choose.

• Over Under Bars—As described on the

Landscape Structures website, this station

requires users to jump high and duck low.

For an easier go of it, users can jump over

the short bars and duck under the tall bars.

Advanced users can try doing the opposite.

Installation of the obstacle course wraps

up the park improvement project known as

Access Cowling. Started in late 2016, the

project used a combination of local donations,

state funding, and volunteer labor to

Stacey Alderman and Molly Flynn work to install an “angled overhead ladder,” one of six

stations on the new FitCore Extreme fitness course at Cowling Park. Visible in the background

are the “jump hang” and “over under bars.” Alderman and Flynn were part of a

large group of volunteers who assisted in installing the fitness equipment June 4-5.

install the fitness course, walking paths,

and playground equipment accessible to

young children of all abilities.

“I’m very proud of it. I’m very proud of

the community for everything they did. It’s

overwhelming, the support we received,”

said Amy Rees, president of the London

Community Organization, the non-profit

under which Access Cowling functioned.

“We’ve created a place everyone can enjoy,

whether they have mobility issues or are

elite athletes. It’s something for the whole

community.”

Cowling Park is located at Main and

Park streets.

Strong acting saves latest ‘Conjuring’ installment

Hollywood has been combing

through the case files of

paranormal investigators Ed

and Lorraine Warren for ideas

for more than four decades

now, but it wasn’t until 2013 that anyone thought to

make a movie centered around the dynamic demonfighting

duo of the Northeast.

In “The Conjuring,” the story revolves around their

attempt to uncover the origins of a haunted farmhouse

before it destroys the sweet family living within, but it

wasn’t the tried-and-true horror trope that captured the

interest of the general public. Though considered one of

the best supernatural films of the decade, what made

“The Conjuring” such a hit was the chemistry between

the actors Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga and their

depiction of the unwavering faith between their real-life

counterparts as they fought off demons while battling

their own. Not only did their portrayal add something

new to the horror-sphere, but it also sparked a newfound

interest in the couple (along with newfound

claims of fraud) and kickstarted a multi-million dollar

franchise and extended universe with solo films and

spinoffs where they play second fiddle to haunted dolls

and other objects.

In their latest venture, “The Conjuring: The Devil

Made Me Do It,” the two take center stage once again

as they try to prove a young man accused of murder only

did so at the behest of evil spirits.

The film begins in slick and stylized fashion as Ed

(Wilson) and Lorraine (Farmiga) carry out an exorcism

on 8-year-old David Glatzel (Julian Hilliard) in early

1980s Connecticut. With thick fog rolling through the

kitchen and David doing his best impression of a human

pretzel on the dining table to great sound effect, they

try to get the spirit to leave the boy despite the physical

and emotional toll it is taking on their own bodies. Try

as hard as they might, this demon is not leaving—until

the boyfriend of David’s sister invites it into his own.

Not believing he is now host to an evil entity (Ed collapsed

after the exorcism due to his heart problems and

was not able to explain that he

saw the transference), Arne

Cheyenne Johnson (Ruairi O’-

Connor) goes about his life none

the wiser. But soon odd things

start to happen—a cereal box

falls to the floor, he sees visions,

and his once even temper becomes

shorter.

One day while helping his

girlfriend Debbie (Sarah

Catherine Hook) do odd jobs

around the dog kennel where

they work, he “blacks out.” When he finally comes to, he

is covered in blood and realizes he has stabbed business

owner Bruno Sauls (Ronnie Gene Blevins) to death.

Upon hearing the news, a newly awakened Ed and

his increasingly clairvoyant wife Lorraine rush back to

town to try to uncover how this happened. Unlike the

local law enforcement officials, the prosecuting attorney

and the international media, they whole-heartedly believe

Arne’s claim that the devil made him do it.

Rather than delve into a straight courtroom drama

with elements of Satanic Panic, the film retraces the

case to the beginning when Ed and Lorraine first heard

about David’s possession. Through flashbacks, tight

shots of dark and dank quarters, and a jump scare involving

a waterbed, they determine someone had placed

a powerful curse on him, one that would have made him

kill anyone the demon commanded. With that part of

the mystery solved, they have to figure out who placed

the curse on him, why, whether it has truly transferred

to Arne and how far this curse-placer is willing to go to

get what they want.

As the eighth installment in the greater Conjuring

universe, “The Devil Made Me Do It” ran a real risk of

losing the appeal that made the latter films so popular,

especially since it is based on a real-life murder case and

not just an alleged haunting. Like it or not, true crime

is an increasingly popular medium for theory and story,

so it makes sense the creators wanted to pivot to one of

Ed and Lorraine’s most controversial cases. I’m not certain that will

be a lasting change in this universe, but it does open the doors to

explore more avenues should they so choose.

As with the previous “Conjuring” films (and some of the spinoffs,

to be honest), the strength of this one lies with the acting, especially

from Wilson and Farmiga. They once again give a fantastic performance,

one that carries the film through some rough story

patches, stilted dialogue, and questionable decisions involving jump

scares with waterbeds. We former owners of said “beds” know all

about their evilness.

Praise for staffers

and volunteers at

vaccination clinics

I’d like to recognize Madison County Public Health (MCPH) for

an outstanding job of administering 20,000 COVID-19 vaccines. It

has been and continues to be a positively Herculean effort that our

public health staff is providing to all our county residents.

If you’ve never appreciated

the hard work the folks at the

health department do (and

they do an enormously good job even in epidemic-free years), I hope

that you appreciate the work that our county health commissioner,

Chris Cook, and the staff at MCPH have done in the last year and

half.

The drive-through vaccines were staffed by employees who

stepped out of their roles as environmental health professionals,

WIC service providers, office staff, and fiscal officers to serve as traffic

directors, registration staff, educators, post-vaccine monitors and

volunteer coordinators. The staff nurses and school nurses worked

tirelessly to provide vaccines in schools for staff and students and

then were at the drive-through clinics to help, too.

Staff also coordinated and trained a very much appreciated

group of volunteers to give vaccines and help with all the jobs listed

above that made the drive-through clinics such a success. Clinics

were also supported by our law enforcement, EMS, EMA, the

Chamberlain School of Nursing students, and our OSU friends at

Molly Caren Agricultural Center.

All the while, the staff at MCPH continued their normal services.

Forty percent of Madison County residents have had at least one

vaccine and nearly 35 percent of our residents are fully vaccinated.

That’s a great start, but it is just a start.

If you aren’t yet vaccinated, please do not let the lower number

of COVID-19 infection rates and hospitalizations lull you into thinking

that you don’t need a vaccine. A vaccine is the surest way to protect

yourself and others.

The drive-through clinics have stopped, but the health department

is still providing vaccines at their office. To register for a vaccine

go to getavaccine.madisonph.org or call (740) 852-3065.

members will be available to answer questions,

provide literature and even help visitors

get on the air. The best visiting times

are 2-6 p.m. June 26 and 10 a.m.-2 June 27.

Field Day is sponsored by ARRL, the national

association for amateur radio, and

has been an annual event since 1933. This

year’s operations are expected to involve

over 40,000 ham radio operators from across

North America.

Often using only emergency power supplies,

ham operators construct and operate

emergency stations in parks, shopping

malls, schools and backyards around the

country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails,

Ham Radio Works,” is demonstrated by

hams who can send messages in many

forms without the use of phone systems, internet

or any other infrastructure that can

be compromised in a crisis. The event combines

public service, emergency preparedness,

community outreach and technical

skills.

Modern amateur radio is a fast-growing

hobby. There are now nearly 28,000 licensed

amateurs in Ohio, more than 750,000 in the

United States, and more than 2.5 million

worldwide. Through the ARRL’s Amateur

Radio Emergency Services program, volunteers

provide emergency communication for

thousands of state and local emergency response

agencies and non-emergency communications

services to a wide variety of

community and civic organizations, all without

cost to the public.

Madison-Plains seniors help to spruce up Sterling

On May 7, 22 Madison-Plains High School seniors headed to

Mount Sterling to participate in their annual Senior Service Project

to give back to the community that has given so much to them.

Once the seniors arrived, they got right to work assisting village

leaders with community service tasks. Students spent several hours

working in the village and at the Mount Sterling Community Center

picking up litter, pulling weeds from flowerbeds, trimming

bushes, planting flowers, and spreading mulch.

Summer Crisis Program starts July 1

The 2021 Summer Crisis Program (SCP)

will provide eligible households with a onetime

benefit to assist with electric utility

bills, central air conditioning repairs, and

air conditioning unit and/or fan purchases.

Household income must be at or below 175

percent of the federal poverty guidelines,

and households must have at least one additional

eligibility criteria listed below:

• a household member who is 60 or older;

• a household member who has a documented

medical condition verified by a licensed

medical professional who is qualified

under Ohio law to write prescriptions;

• a household member that was diagnosed

with COVID-19 in the last 12 months.

May provide a written statement as proof of

medical diagnosis;

• Percentage of Income Payment Plan

Plus (PIPP) customers are eligible for assistance

towards their default PIPP payment,

first PIPP payment, central air conditioning

repairs, or may receive an air conditioning

unit and/or fan.

• A household’s electric utility has a disconnect notice, has been

shut off, or new electric service is being established for the household.

These households may also receive an air conditioning unit

and/or fan or central air conditioning repairs, if the household can

maintain electric service for 30 days.

This year, the program will be open July 1-Sept. 30, 2021. The

maximum benefit amounts for the 2021 program are $500 for customers

of regulated utilities and $800 for customers of unregulated

utilities (municipal utilities or cooperatives).

Air conditioning units and/or fans may only be provided to eligible

customers who have not received an air conditioning unit or fan

in the last three years. Local Energy Assistance Providers must

complete OCA Form 223 to document the prior year’s SCP inventory

and project the quantity of air conditioning units and fans

needed for the 2021 SCP.

New this year: The utility assistance benefit is separate from

the additional benefit. Households may receive the maximum utility

assistance benefit towards their electric bill and still receive an

additional benefit (i.e., central air conditioner repair, air conditioner

unit, and/or fan).

SCP appointments should be scheduled with the local energy assistance

provider. For more information, call Bridges Community

Action Partnership, serving Champaign, Delaware, Logan, Madison,

Shelby and Union counties, at (740) 852-3511.



Levy renewal, parade, traffic lights, and parking

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

The city of London will be on the Nov. 2

general election ballot with a levy renewal

request. On June 3, city council members

unanimously approved the first of two resolutions

needed to place the measure on the

ballot.

The city is seeking voter approval of a

2.1-mill levy for five years for general operating

expenses. The levy has been on the

books since 1991. Voters have renewed the

levy every five years with no increases. The

renewal represents no new taxes, said

Mayor Patrick Closser. The levy generates

$390,000 per year.

Council opted to stick with a renewal because

they don’t want to raise citizens’ taxes

in light of economic stress related to

COVID-19, said council member Carla

Blazier.

City business

Council passed several pieces of legislation,

all of them by unanimous vote.

• authorization for Rex Henry, safety

services director, to advertise for bids for the

replacement of the city’s traffic lights and

controllers at a cost not to exceed $900,000.

The city likely won’t spend the maximum

amount because the plan is to decrease the

number of lights in town.

• amendment of guidelines that determine

where fences can go on private properties,

specifically properties that are corner

lots. Now, a property’s frontage is determined

by the property’s street address.

Fencing cannot be installed in what is considered

the front yard and cannot be within

20 feet of the corner of the property.

• creation of a parking permit for residents

along Park Avenue whose on-street

parking disappeared when the street was

redone. Those residents can apply for a permit

that allows them to park in the Cowling

Park lots for more than the two-hour maximum

without penalty. The first permit is

free; additional permits for the same household

are $5 each. Permits are good for 90

days and can be obtained through the police

department.

• amendment of two other parking

guidelines. The first change makes clear

that city parking lots at parks are only for

people who are there to enjoy the park. No

other parking is permitted there. Closser

said the city has had issues with commercial

vehicles parking overnight on the Park Avenue

lot between the city pool and Cowling

Park. To go with that amendment, council

added a $25 fine for infractions of this rule.

Independence Day parade

With pandemic restrictions loosened,

events are returning to the city’s summer

schedule, including the Independence Day

parade on July 3. Steve Stivers is the parade

grand marshal.

“With him stepping down as our U.S.

Congressman and with everything that he

has done for the city of London, I felt it was

fitting to have him lead our parade that

day,” Closser said.

Stivers recently left public office to take

a job as the president and CEO of the Ohio

Chamber of Commerce.

London’s parade steps off at 11 a.m. at

Park Avenue, then heads down Main Street

to East First Street, ending at Walnut

Street. Lineup is at 10 a.m.

The parade is open to entries for floats,

automobiles, tractors, horses/ponies, elected

officials and candidates, costumed walkers,

decorated bicycles, wagons, carts, festival

queens and courts, and others. A link to applications

is available on the city’s social

media pages and the home page at

www.londonohio.gov. Applications and parade

announcer information sheets must be

mailed to or dropped off by June 25 at the

mayor’s office, 20 S. Walnut St., Suite 100,

London.

For more information, call Closser at

(614) 357-5567.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF OHIO OF THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY

D/B/A AES OHIO TO INCREASE ITS ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION RATES

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Pursuant to the requirements of R.C. 4909.19, The Dayton Power and Light Company d/b/a AES Ohio ("AES Ohio" or the

"Company") gives notice that on November 30, 2020, the Company filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio

("Commission") an Application to increase its base rates for electric distribution service. The Application has been assigned

Case Number 20-1651-EL-AIR by the Commission. AES Ohio is also seeking to amend its tariffs and obtain accounting

authority in connection with the proposed rate increase, which have been assigned Case Numbers 20-1652-EL-AAM and

20-1653-EL-ATA. The Application directly affects AES Ohio's entire service territory, which includes all or parts of Auglaize,

Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Darke, Delaware, Fayette, Greene, Highland, Logan, Madison, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery,

Pickaway, Preble, Shelby, Union, Van Wert, and Warren Counties

Base rates are partially responsible for recovering costs associated with maintaining poles, wires and other distribution

infrastructure that bring electric services into customer’s homes and businesses. In 2015, AES Ohio requested an increase

to its base rates for electric distribution service for the first time in nearly a quarter century. AES Ohio and a diverse group

of interested parties entered into a settlement in that case, which established the lowest residential electric rates in the

State of Ohio. The proposed rates in this case reflect investments in AES Ohio's distribution system and increased costs of

operations and maintenance since 2015, including those relating to the devastation caused by the 2019 Memorial Day

tornados. The proposed rates would also assist the Company to continue to finance and support the infrastructure necessary

to continue providing safe and reliable distribution service to its customers. In reviewing the Application, the Commission

will consider AES Ohio's cost to provide electric distribution service from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 and the value of AES

Ohio's poles, wires and other equipment used to deliver distribution service as of June 30, 2020.

AES Ohio will continue to have the lowest residential electric rates in the State of Ohio even after approval of the Application.

The Application requests the following percentage increases in distribution service operating revenue on a rate schedule

basis. Those percentages do not reflect the total bill increase, which will be approximately 11.76% for the typical 1,000 kWh

residential user.

Total Residential: 27.63%

Total Secondary: 25.58%

Total Primary: 25.08%

Primary Substation: -10.46%

High Voltage: -16.02%

Street Lighting: 25.11%

Private Outdoor Lighting: 32.81%

The proposals in the Application are subject to changes, including changes as to amount and form, by the Commission.

Recommendations that differ from the filed Application may be made by the Staff of the Commission or by intervening

parties and may be adopted by the Commission.

Any person, firm, corporation, or association may file, pursuant to R.C. 4909.19, an objection to AES Ohio's Application,

which may allege that such Application contains proposals that are unjust and discriminatory or unreasonable.

The Application and supporting documents are available at the offices of the Public Utilities Commission, 180 East Broad

Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793. The Application and supporting documents are also available on the Commission's

docketing information system at http://www.puco.ohio.gov, by selecting DIS, inputting 20-1651-EL-AIR in the case lookup

box and selecting the date the application was filed on November 30, 2020.

The following are among the pets up for

adoption at the Humane Society of Madison

County. If you are interested in adopting a

pet, fill out an application online at

www.hsmcohio.org or call the shelter at

(614) 879-8368.

Roxy Hart

Roxy Heart

is a sweet girl

that will steal

your heart to

match the one

she wears. Roxy

is a beautiful dilute

calico with

an estimated

birthdate of

Jan. 13, 2019.

Roxy enjoys

snuggling on

your lap or

keeping your

feet warm at

night. She’s always

up for a little attention, conversation

and scratches on her head. And if you look

close, you will see that she wears her heart

on her side. Roxy’s foster mom reports that

she is open to other cats but not too thrilled

with dogs.

Adoption fees are $80 for kittens up to 6

months old and $60 for cats 7 months and

older. The fee includes a FeLV/FIV test,

spay or neuter, shots, deworming, and a

one-year rabies shot (if old enough). Fees

can be paid by cash or credit card.

Buster

A citizen

brough Buster

to the shelter

on Jan. 7.

Buster weighs a

whopping 75

pounds and has

an estimated

birthdate of

june 7, 2019.

He is a bundle

of fun wrapped

in a gorgeous

Adoptable Pets

package. His

striking brown

eyes and impressive

physique turn heads wherever he

goes. Then comes the huge, adorably goofy,

Each year, the Kiwanis Club of London

recognizes the top 10 juniors from London

and Madison-Plains high schools. The club

recognized the students on Facebook and

sent them certificates of recognition.

The top 10 students from London are:

Josephine Davis, James Marco, Erica Ren,

Jake Belmont, Jonathan Schooley, Joseph

Reynolds, Kyle Cox, Brooklyn Sims, Nathan

Taylor and Sara Oney.

The top 10 students from Madison-Plains


tongue-out grin, and you’re hooked.

Buster enjoys toys and plays with them

the same way he takes treats—gently. At the

top of Buster’s favorite things list is soaking

up all the love he can get. His reaction to

other dogs has been mixed, and he’s pretty

sure cats are useless, so this hunk of love

will likely thrive in a home as your only fur

baby. Buster also doesn’t realize how big he

is and can be a powerhouse, so it’s best this

big guy goes to a home without children.

Buster’s enthusiasm is infectious, and the

family lucky enough to call him their own

will reap the rewards of a lifetime of smiles.

The shelter’s adoption fees for dogs are

as follows: shelter dogs, $150; prison dogs,

$200; puppies, $250; popular pure-breeds,

$400. Fees includes a Home Again microchip,

shots, deworming, heartworm testing

(if old enough), spay or neuter, and a

one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All dogs

that are adopted must leave with a county

license at an additional cost of $17. The license

fee is cash only. Adoption fees can be

paid by credit card or cash.

Humane Society Info

The Humane Society of Madison County

(HSMC) remains closed to the public.

HSMC continues to accept applications for

its adoptable pets, schedule meet-and-greets

for adopters, and schedule appointments

when possible for the public.

to contact@hsmcohio.org, call (614) 879-

8368 or visit HSMC on Facebook.

Plain City Georgesville Rd., West Jefferson,

www.hsmcohio.org. The shelter appreciates

Los Mariachis Fundraiser

The Humane Society of Madison County

is holding a fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 10

p.m. June 14-16 at Los Mariachis Restaurant,

289 Lafayette St., London.

Twenty percent of your total bill (not including

tax) will be donated to the shelter,

and this includes drinks. Dine inside or on

the patio, or order carryout. You must take

a paper flyer with you. Flyers are available

at the shelter or can be printed from the Humane

Society’s website, www.hsmcohio.org

Kiwanians applaud juniors

are: Andrew Geyer, Tyson Guiette, Adriel

Owens, Addisyn McPherson, Kontessa

Stephens, Emma McCoy, Ayden McPherson,

Cainan Kelly, Jada Gilpen and Sam Rhoads.

The club also awarded six $1,000 scholarships

London and three from Madison-Plains. The

London recipients are Adam Siddiqi, Aiden

McCoy and Alexis Zabloudil. The Madison-

Plains recipients are Arrington Cordell,
