National

act heads

up Rock

the Clock

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

It has been five years since Tim Dawson,

owner of Pioneer Pizza, brought Rock

the Clock to Plain City. To celebrate the

milestone, he booked a national act as this

year’s event headliner.

Drew Parker, a country music songwriter

and performer, is traveling from

Nashville to the Rock the Clock stage where

he will close out the night’s festivities.

Parker has co-written songs for country

music stars Luke Combs and Jake Owen

and is a nominee for MusicRow magazine’s

“Discovery Artist of the Year” award.

“I am so, so excited to have Drew

Parker here and to have people hear him

play,” Dawson said.

Rock the Clock 2021 will take place on

July 31 in uptown Plain City. The event

features live music, food, drinks, and children’s

activities. Admission is free.

The opening act, Jacked Up, will perform

country rock from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Based in Columbus, the band serves up

dynamic vocals, driving rock, and mountain

soul and has shared the stage with

Luke Bryan, Craig Moran, Gretchen Wilson,

LeAnn Rimes and David Allen Coe,

to name a few.

Naked Karate Girls, whose band members

are neither naked or girls, are back

by popular demand. The high-energy, funloving

dance/rock band takes the stage

from 6:45 to 9:45 p.m.

Parker will play from 10:15 to midnight.

Dawson has expanded the event’s children’s

activities, as well as the food and

drink options. In addition to the balloon

artists and facepainting of years past, kids

recording artist, is headlining this year’s

get to enjoy two bounce houses.

Food options include everything from

grilled tenderloin and porkchop sliders to

Texas tenderloin, hamburgers, hotdogs,

lemonade and ice cream. Members of the

Jonathan Alder High School softball team

will man a booth selling slices of Pioneer

Pizza. All proceeds from the pizza sales go

back to the team.

Rock the Clock has always served beer

and wine. This year, mixed drinks will be

sold, too. Beverage sales help to offset the

cost of the bands, Dawson said.

Banner year

for Jr. Fair’s

livestock sale

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

Final figures are still being tabulated,

but generally speaking, 2021 was a banner

year for the Junior Fair livestock sale at the

Madison County Fair.

“The sale was fantastic. I’ve never seen

so much energy in that building,” said Paul

Gross, senior fair board president.

The sale took place July 17 in the Eby

Youth Arena on the Madison County Fairgrounds

in London. Gross estimates that

600 people attended and/or took part in the

sale, with many new buyers joining longtime

buyers in supporting 4-H and FFA

youths who showed livestock at the fair.

Many of the champion and reserve champion

animals went for record-breaking dollar

amounts, but just as exciting, Gross said,

is that the minimum amount each animal

brought across the entire sale was much

higher than usual.

Helping to make that happen was a new

buyers consortium. Gross and other fair organizers

pulled together a group of buyers

whose purpose was to make sure every

youth got a solid price for their animal.

“We accomplished every goal and objective

we had to make sure every kid felt they

were an equally important part of this

event. I don’t think you could find a single

face there that wasn’t awestruck by the

level of support we had for them,” Gross

said. “Not a single kid got lost in the shuffle

or overlooked.”

Kelly Sifrit, treasurer of the Junior Fair

Livestock Sale Committee, agrees.

“The average (minimums) I saw animals

sell for across the species are higher than I’ve

ever seen, which was the entire goal of the

consortium,” she said. “It worked amazingly.”

The buyers consortium brought a total of

$55,000 to the sale. Approximately 75 percent

of the money came from businesses outside

of Madison County. Three companies

working on solar energy projects in the

London upgrades security to curb park vandalism

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

The city of London is investing in upgraded security in an attempt

to curb vandalism at Cowling Park.

On July 15, city council set aside $17,500

for the purchase of new surveillance cameras.

The new equipment will survey a

broader area and provide better quality images

than the current camera system, said

council member Carla Blazier who sponsored

the legislation.

“We’ve had to close the bathrooms at the

park at least twice this year because of vandalism,”

said Rex Castle, London’s safetyservice

director. “There has been some

vandalism with the park equipment, too. It’s

kind of hard to tear that stuff up, but we’ve

had some issues.”

Vandals have broken off a sink faucet

and ripped dispensers off walls in the bathrooms.

They also punched out the glass in

the miniature library located on the park

grounds.

“Anything and everything they can

break, they break it,” Castle said.

“It’s an ongoing problem,” Blazier added.

With better quality imaging, city officials

hope they can more easily identify culprits

which would lead to prosecution.

Another planned park improvement is

the installation of benches near the playground

equipment and along the walking

paths. Some of the benches will be equipped

with USB phone chargers. Currently, park

visitors who need to charge their phones are

using outlets at the shelter house.

“By putting the chargers next to benches,

we’re trying to make things a little more

convenient. That way, parents can sit and

charge their phone while they’re watching

their kids play,” Castle said.

New water meters

Council approved a contract to purchase all new water meters

throughout the city. The project will cost $1.5 million. The Board of

Public Utilities (BPU) secured a $400,000 grant and a $1 million

interest-free, 30-year loan from the Ohio Public Works Commission

to cover the majority of the cost. The water department’s budget

will cover the remainder of the cost, Castle said.

Normally, OPWC approves a grant or a loan, not both, for such

projects, Castle said, but because OPWC received a low number of

applicants for the loan portion of their funding, London received

both.

“So far, at this time, the BPU has not brought up anything about

increasing water bills or anything like that,” said council member

Anthony Smith regarding offsetting the project’s cost.

Smith sponsored legislation for the purchase of new meters and

for approval to put the installation work out to bid. Installation is

included in the $1.5 million cost estimate.

Currently, city employees manually read the water meters. The

new meters will be read electronically, eliminating the need for

manual readings. They also will provide more accurate readings

than the aging models in use now, Smith said. The city does not

currently have a timeline for when installation will occur.

county donated $10,000 each. They include Big Plain Solar owned

by Leeward Renewable Energy, Fox Squirrel Solar owned by EDF,

and Madison Fields Solar owned by Savion. One of the other major

donors was Stanley Electric out of London, donating $5,000.

Other members of the consortium were ABC Supply, Candela

Renewables, Civista Bank, Della Selsor Trust, Eberle-Fisher Funeral

Home, Hartley Oil, IBI Consultants, Los Mariachis Mexican

Restaurant, Midland Title, and MKSK.

“We had a nice breadth of companies donating,” Gross said.

Sifrit was thrilled with the support from all of the buyers at the

sale. This year, the sale committee showed their appreciation by

setting aside part of the Coughlin Community Center as a buyers

lounge, equipped with air conditioning, seating, and food and beverages

throughout the sale.

“It was very well received. I think buyers really enjoyed that

they could step away from the sale, get good food, and then come

back. It was a way for them to get a break,” Sifrit said.

The sale committee also had hoped to livestream the sale, not

only to screens set up in the buyers lounge but as something anyone

anywhere could watch. Technical difficulties, primarily with Internet

service, prevented the livestream from happening, but Sifrit

said the committee plans to make it a feature at next year’s sale.

While the event doesn’t start until 4 p.m., Dawson expects to see

people setting up chairs and claiming spots as early as noon. Organizers

will start checking IDs, handing out drink wristbands, and

selling beer tickets at 3 p.m. The food and drink vendors will be

open for business by no later than 4. The children’s activities run

from 5 to 10 p.m.

“We’re planning on twice as many people attending as in the

past, mostly because of Drew Parker,” Dawson said. “Plus, it’s just

one of those nights when people get to see other people they haven’t

seen in a year.”

The village will close down the street in front of The Grainery,

138 W. Main St., at 9 a.m. the day of the event to allow for stage

setup. The other streets in uptown Plain City will close at noon.

Dawson and the village will post a list of parking options on their

Facebook pages prior to the event.

Pioneer Pizza is Rock the Clock’s primary sponsor. This year’s

headliner sponsor is Pioneer Roofing. Several other businesses and

groups also have pitched in to make the event possible.

Clock” on Facebook.

was not a timed event, Geyer was hurrying because her

said the resident of London who is not yet involved in a 4-H

club. The cake the contestants used was really just a foam

cake cutout. The participants did, however, get to frost an

edible sugar cookie from Der Dutchman.

Belle Morris knew she had to sleep.

In just a few hours’ time, the 8-year-old

from London would be going to the Madison

County Fair not as a regular attendee but

as a participant in an inaugural event called

Livestock 101.

She knew she would be getting a crash

course in showing an animal, but it wasn’t

the prospect of learning a new skill in front

of strangers that kept her awake. It was

knowing she would be working with

equines.

Morris said she remembers her reaction

the first time she came across a horse.

“I was looking through a book, and that’s

when I saw a picture of it,” she explained. “I

fell in love with them right away.”

Their grace and strength mesmerized

her.

“They were so majestic to me,” Morris

said. “I think they are the most magical,

beautiful creatures.”

Though she has a passion for horses,

Morris rarely has the opportunity to come

into close contact with them.

“That’s why I was really, really looking

forward to this,” she said of Livestock 101.

“I wanted to be able to see them up close.”

Morris didn’t know it at the time, but her

participation in the event would end up allowing

her many more close encounters of

the equine kind in the future.

After gathering with the more than 140

children ages 4 to 17 at the Eby Arena for a

brief introduction to the program, Morris

broke off into a smaller session with 20 individuals

and a handful of 4-H mentors who

specialize in showing equines. For close to

an hour, Ellie Edwards, a 19-year-old resident

of Grove City, taught Morris and

Skyler Mayabb the intricacies of showing

the animal and basic patterns to impress

judge Colleen Martin.

“It’s all about being calm and confident,”

said Edwards, a 2020 graduate of Central

Crossing High School and a former member

of the LFS Riders 4-H Club.

After Edwards ran her mentees through

the patterns multiple times, it was time for

Morris and Mayabb to demonstrate their

newly acquired showmanship skills. Edwards

said she was a little worried about

how it would go.

“Though they did listen to me, they spent a

lot of time petting Harvey,” she said, laughing.

Much to her delight, Morris was one of

six participants chosen for the main showman

of showmen event. Buzzing again with

nerves and excitement, Morris smiled for

the judge and capably ran Harvey through

the basic pattern.

Then came the moment Morris hadn’t

necessarily been waiting for, primarily because

she never thought it would happen.

When the judge named her as the budding

showman of showmen, the normally talka-


Livestock 101 draws 140 youths from 10 counties

tive girl was rendered speechless.

As the first-place finisher in the equine

event, Morris received a certificate for a free

lease on a horse at Martin’s Lost Fortune

Stables. Not only will she be able to show

that horse at next year’s fair, she also will be

able to spend months working with horses.

“It’s a dream come true,” Morris said.

That sentiment was shared by many of

the participants in the Livestock 101 event,

which saw children from 10 counties show

equine, cattle, swine, goats, rabbits, poultry

and alpacas. Most of the budding showmen

received leases similar to the one awarded

in the equine competition.

Fair board member Quinton Keeran said

when fair organizers decided to offer this

free program to non-FFA or non-4-H members,

they were not sure what the level of interest

would be.

“We were hoping for 100 kids to sign up, but

we would have been happy with 50,” he stated.

As word spread about this event and its

mission, the community rallied around it.

“The community really got behind this

event,” Keeran said. “And when I say ‘the

community,’ I don’t just mean the kids who

signed up to participate.

“The parents were interested, former 4-H

and FFA members were interested, our local

state representatives were interested, businesses

were interested. Everyone was interested

in seeing this event become a success.”

Judging from the reaction from the children,

feedback from parents, and inquiries

about local FFA and 4-H clubs, Keeran said

Livestock 101 looks to be an event that will

be replicated throughout the state.

“I think this event will have a snowball

effect,” he said. “It was infectious, and I

think it will generate a lot of thought for future

fair planning.”

Keeran said he felt fortunate to witness

it firsthand. He said he was especially

touched by the number of current and former

FFA and 4-H members who signed on

to be mentors for the first-time event.

“The leadership that was on display is

what these clubs are all about,” he said.

“This country needs leaders who are willing

to step up, share their expertise, be kind

and help people when they need it. And we

all saw that here with this event, and that

is a true testament to what our mission is

all about.”



Smith shocked to win Grand Showman of Showmen

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

Cade Smith has never thought of himself

as a showman. Instead, his focus has been

on breeding his birds and seeing them win.

But there’s no denying it now. The 2021

London High School graduate walked away

with this year’s grand showman of showmen

title at the Madison County Fair.

“I am still in shock that I won,” said the

18-year-old, who qualified for the contest as

the Junior Fair’s top poultry showman. He

was named the top poultry showman last

year, too, but due to COVID-19, the fair did

not hold the grand showman of showmen

contest in 2020.

The grand showman contest pits the best

showmen from all of the species against one

another. The contest caps off fair week competitions

and requires qualifiers to not only

show the specie by which they qualified, but

all of the other animals, too.

“I thought that since I’d only ever shown

poultry and rabbits before that I wouldn’t

really have a chance at winning,” Smith

said. “The other showmen have shown a lot

of the other species before.”

After winning the poultry showman title

early on in fair week, Smith went to work

learning how to show everything from

swine and sheep to horses and steers. Other

4-Hers and FFA members, including some

with whom Smith would be competing for

the title, were happy to lend a hand and

offer pointers.

“It’s really cool the way that everybody

helps everybody out. When I was younger,

I always saw it as, “Why would they help

their competition out?’ Now, I see it as

everybody wants everybody to do well,”

Smith said.

In the days leading up to the grand

showman contest on July 16, Smith worked

with each animal type at least once. He discovered

that many of the species were easier

to show than he expected.

“I just see a larger animal and think it’s

going to be harder than it is,” he explained.

“I was most nervous about swine. You don’t

have a halter or any other way to control it

other than a pig whip, and some pigs can

get annoyed with it and act up. The most

practice I put in was with swine.”

Messenger photos by Jeff Pfeil

Cade Smith, shown here during the equine portion of the Grand

Showman of Showmen contest, came home the winner of the

event. He earned his ticket to the Grand Showman contest as the

top poultry showman. He is a member of the Helping Hands

Happy Hearts 4-H Club.

The practice paid off, along with the many years of experience

Smith has accumulated as a 4-H and FFA member who has been a

very active participant in open class and Junior Fair contests.

“I went in there pretty nervous, but once I got in that ring with

an animal, all those nerves were gone, and I was focused on showing

those animals and nothing else,” he said. “It shows that if you

really want something and you work hard at it and you practice,

you can accomplish what you want.”

Smith got his start in 4-H through the Cloverbud program 13

years ago. When he reached show age, he followed his older siblings’

lead, showing poultry. He has done so every year since then, also

showing rabbits when he was younger and taking an active role in

showing and promoting alpacas when the fair added the specie to

its lineup five years ago.

Smith has one more year of eligibility to show animals at the

fair. He’s on the fence as to whether he will; his decision depends

on his college schedule. Smith plans to study turf grass management

starting this fall at Ohio State University Agricultural Technical

Institute in Wooster.

“My dream has always been and still is to be the head

greenskeeper at Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia where

they hold the Masters every year,” he said.

Smith was a four-year letterwinner on London High School’s golf

team. He served as president of London’s FFA chapter his senior

year and is a member of the Helping Hands Happy Hearts 4-H

Club. Smith is the son of Julia and Brian Smith.

NULL

Kenneth R. Null Sr., 79, of London died peacefully and ascended

to heaven on July 15, 2021, to once again join his beloved wife,

Betty, to dance the Texas Two-Step. He was born on Oct. 8, 1941,

at home in Kellys Creek, W.Va., to Marvin and Sarah (Pugh) Null.

Ken “Red” Null grew up on his family’s small farm alongside his

five brothers and sister.

In the early 1960s, Ken and his young bride, Betty, relocated to

London and worked with the Burks family at C&E Construction Co.

for 10 years until joining Ohio Edison. Ken’s love of adventure and

fearlessness made him “the best damn OE tree trimmer” and was

highlighted in many family stories.

During the 1970s, Ken transferred to the Ohio Edison London

Line Department. He spent many years as a lineman and “trouble

man” responding to emergency calls before retiring in 1999.

Ken was a man of immense passion at work and play. He enjoyed

fishing, hunting, sports, cooking, and his little buddy, Zoe, the dog,

whom he often proclaimed was smart enough to run for mayor of

London. Ken’s humor, orneriness, and hardworking personality will

be greatly missed by friends and family. However, we take great

solace knowing Ken is rejoicing with Jesus and his beloved Betty.

Survivors include: his children and grandchildren, Ken Null Jr.

(sp. Tiffany, Trevor, Kinsey) and Lisa Wijnands (sp. Marco, Michael,

Alex), all of Mount Sterling; brothers, William “Poochie” Null and

Dennis Lee Null (Susanne); sister, Linda Jones (Ron); sister-in-law,

Rosalee Null, all of Kellys Creek, W.Va.; nieces and nephews, Joyce

Null, Eric, Wyatt, Garreth and Chris Null, Therese Elena Kwon-

How

to Write an

Ad that

Sells

1. Use a KEYWORD.This immediately tells the reader exactly

what it is you have to sell.

2. Make your description CLEAR and FACTUAL. State the

year, make, model, color, size, and tell what condition the item

is. Also state the special features.

3. State the PRICE. Successful Classified advertisers have

learned that the price in an ad helps increase the chances for

results.

4. If there’s a genuine sense of URGENCY, say so. The words

“We’re Moving” or “Must Sell Fast”suggests that readers

respond immediately.

5. Include your PHONE NUMBER. Classifieds get results fast

and often generate immediate sales. If you cannot be available

to answer the phone at all times, be sure to specify calling times

such as “AFTER 6 PM” or “BEFORE 11 AM.”

If you need assistance, ask one of our friendly

Local Republicans endorse Peterson

By Kristy Zurbrick

Madison Editor

A special primary election on Aug. 3 will determine

which candidates will vie for Ohio’s U.S. 15th Congressional

District seat in the Nov. 2 general election. Steve Stivers,

a Republican, vacated the seat in May to take a job as

president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Eleven Republicans and two Democrats are running

in the primary election. The winners in their respective

parties will face off in November.

The Republican candidates are: John Adams, Mike

Carey, Eric Clark, Thad Cooperrider, Ruth Edmonds,

Ron Hood, Thomas Hwang, Stephanie Kunze, Jeff

LaRe, Bob Peterson, and Omar Tarazi.

“The Madison County Republican Party overwhelmingly

endorsed Bob Peterson for Congress,” said Nicholas

Adkins, chair of the Madison County Republican Central

Committee. “We stand with many others in our belief

that his principled and experienced leadership is the conservative

voice that best represents Madison County.”

Peterson graduated from The Ohio State University

with a degree in agriculture. He served as president of

the Ohio Farm Bureau for nearly five years and as

Fayette County commissioner for 14 years. He was

elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2011,

representing District 85. In 2012, he joined the Ohio

Senate; he represents the 17th Senate District.

The Democratic candidates are: Greg Betts and Allison

Russo. The Madison County Democratic Party

plans to announce which candidate they endorse after

meeting and speaking with both candidates in person

on July 24, said Anne Gorman, party chair.

For general information about all of the candidates,

go to https://ballotpedia.org/Ohio%27s_15th_Congressional_District_special_election,_2021.

The Ohio 15th Congressional District includes Clinton,

Fairfield, Hocking, Madison, Morgan, Perry, Pickaway,

and Vinton counties as well as parts of Athens,

Fayette, Franklin, and Ross counties.
