“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

from your face, staring at you? Kendall Cromwell laughed a lot 

at the June 3 goat yoga session hosted by Plain City’s parks and 

recreation department. 

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

Mt. Sterling’s Summer Jam 

Music, food, 

rides, games 



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 

Miss (ages 14-18) contestants will compete. 

On Saturday, the focus is on: boys and girls

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 



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.

Watch hams in action 

The Madison County Amateur Radio 

Club will participate in a national emergency 

communications preparedness exercise 

on June 26-27. Known as Field Day, the 

exercise involves setting up and operating 

emergency radio communications using amateur 

(ham) radio to communicate with similar 

operations throughout the country. 

The club will conduct its Field Day operations 

at the Deercreek Township Hall, 75 

Middle St., Lafayette, beginning at 2 p.m. 

June 26 and concluding at 2 p.m. June 27. 

Operations will include digital messaging, 

as well as voice and Morse Code communications. 

The Madison County club members 

will demonstrate the “magic” of ham radio 

by contacting hams across the country using 

wire antennas, low-power radios and emergency 

power. 

The public is invited to come and see 

modern amateur radio technology in action 

and learn about this exciting hobby. Club 

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.

County Amateur Radio Club, go to

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.

Several seniors from Madison-Plains High 

School spent May 7 performing community 

service projects around Mount Sterling. 

to Courtney Bricker, Mount Sterling’s fiscal 

officer, for her assistance with setting up the 

project and the Community Center for donating 

lunch. 

The class hopes that their day of service 

serves as a small token of appreciation for 

the community’s continued support of the 

school district. They look forward to future 

classes having the same opportunity to give 

back. 

Felecia Groom, an intervention specialist 

at the high school, is this year’s senior class 

advisor.

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 



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.
