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 



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 



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. 

SALE 

Continued from page 1 

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.

was not a timed event, Geyer was hurrying because her 

hands were cramping. “It’s really hard to pipe the icing,” 

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.

Staff Writer 

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 



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 

ADVISORS to help you word your ad!

Local Republicans endorse Peterson 



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.
