Hildebrand named LoCI warden<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

One of <strong>Madison</strong> County’s own now<br />

heads up London Correctional Institution<br />

(LoCI).<br />

On Oct. 10, Jenny Hildebrand took the<br />

helm as warden, replacing Norm Robinson.<br />

Hildebrand has lived in the county for<br />

25 years, residing with her husband,<br />

Drew, on the Hildebrand family farm. In<br />

taking the job as warden at LoCI, she returns<br />

to what she considers to be her work<br />

home.<br />

In her 32.5-year career with the Ohio<br />

Department of Rehabilitation and Correction<br />

(ODRC), Hildebrand has worked at<br />

seven prisons, two of them twice, including<br />

LoCI and <strong>Madison</strong> Correctional, also<br />

in London. Her previous stint at LoCI,<br />

from December 1995 to May 1997, was as<br />

administrative assistant to Warden<br />

Melody Turner.<br />

“It’s really good to be back,” she said.<br />

“London Correctional is a great place to<br />

work—the character and history of the facility,<br />

its place in the community, the variety<br />

of programs.”<br />

Hildebrand plans to keep that legacy<br />

Jenny Hildebrand is the new warden at London Correctional Institution.<br />

rolling, focusing on programming for offenders,<br />

recruitment and development of<br />

staff, and community service.<br />

“We’ll work to increase educational opportunities<br />

and vocational programs, ensuring<br />

we have programs in place for offenders<br />

to receive good trainable job skills<br />

Lots of close<br />

vote tallies<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

With a handful of votes<br />

separating candidates, some<br />

races in the Nov. 2 general<br />

election in <strong>Madison</strong> County<br />

are too close to call at this<br />

time.<br />

One example is the race<br />

for at-large seats on London<br />

Full<br />

city council. Four candidates ran for three<br />

at-large seats. Joshua Peters and John J.<br />

Stahl appear to have secured two of the<br />

three seats, earning 30.17 percent of the<br />

vote and 23.69 percent of the vote, respectively.<br />

Who gets the third seat is yet to be<br />

determined. As the tallies now stand,<br />

Brenda S. Russell has 742 (21.78 percent)<br />

votes to Gregory S. Eades’s 740 votes (21.72<br />

percent). The fourth candidate, Carla<br />

Blazier, who ran as a write-in, received 2.35<br />

percent of the vote.<br />

Other close races include Mount Sterling<br />

council, one of the Plain City council races,<br />

City council considers abortion ban legislation<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

London city council is considering legislation<br />

that would prevent anyone from<br />

procuring or performing abortions within<br />

city limits and declare the city to be a sanctuary<br />

for the unborn.<br />

Council member Anthony Smith sponsored<br />

the proposed legislation which was introduced<br />

at the Oct. 7 council meeting.<br />

Twenty-five individuals spoke in favor of the<br />

proposal at that meeting. Discussion on the<br />

matter has since moved to council’s finance<br />

and safety committee meetings.<br />

While the legislation was not on the<br />

agenda at council’s regular meeting on Oct.<br />

21, several residents attended the meeting<br />

to express their opinions on the matter.<br />

Tiffany Flax, who described herself as<br />

Ham Loaf<br />

pro-life and deeply religious, said she realized<br />

a different perspective after talking to<br />

a friend who had been assaulted and raped.<br />

The friend terminated the resulting pregnancy<br />

because she did not want the guilt<br />

and reminder of the incident, even though<br />

her family wanted her to keep the child.<br />

Flax said she is concerned that the proposed<br />

legislation would restrict a woman’s<br />

ability to receive healthcare that is protected<br />

under the U.S. Constitution. She also<br />

said the words “felon” and “criminal” used<br />

in the proposed legislation to describe anyone<br />

who aids an abortion would be forever<br />

tied to those individuals, as well as any<br />

woman who sought an abortion.<br />

“I want you to think about the kind of<br />

words you guys are putting out there, and<br />

how this woman would feel—any woman—<br />

DRIVE THRU<br />

DINNER<br />

that had been through such a horrendous<br />

experience,” Flax said to council. “If you do<br />

pass this, I want you guys to know, this<br />

community will see those words attached to<br />

all of you forever.”<br />

Wearing a puritan costume, London resident<br />

Vance Daniels spoke out against the<br />

proposal in a satirical fashion, saying the<br />

legislation “does not do enough to take us<br />

back to 1<strong>7th</strong> century puritan society.” He<br />

suggested including resolutions requiring<br />

ugly people to wear masks, children to be<br />

tethered so they don’t stray to sin, and<br />

books about magic and wizardry to be<br />

burned.<br />

He said his wife agrees with his stance<br />

and would have attended the meeting, but<br />

that “as a woman, she is the bearer of original<br />

sin, and she is chained properly at home<br />

in the family barn with her chastity belts secured.”<br />

Resident Lacy Smith said she is in full<br />

support of the proposed legislation.<br />

“Even if some people—some few people—<br />

will attach something negative to (council),<br />

overwhelmingly London will attach the fact<br />

that you would protect life and the future of<br />

London residents if you do pass this legislation.”<br />

Resident Danielle Fredette also favors<br />

the proposal, saying it is what is best for the<br />

city.<br />

“It’s not like we’re shutting down some<br />

abortion clinic or something. We’re saying,<br />

‘We don’t want to do this here,’” she said.<br />

“We don’t want to be on the wrong side of<br />

this spiritual issue. We don’t want to invite<br />

people.”<br />

Following comments from the audience,<br />

council President Henry Comer read a legal<br />

opinion submitted by Jennifer Hitt, the<br />

city’s law director. In the opinion, Hitt<br />

states that London is a statutory city, meanand<br />

prepare them for release,” she said.<br />

She also wants to maintain and create programming for offenders<br />

who will not be returning to society. Of the 1,975 offenders currently<br />

residing at LoCI, 465 are serving life terms.<br />

“We want them to have opportunities, too, to make sure that<br />

everyone’s needs are holistically met with our population,” she said.<br />

Similarly, Hildebrand prioritizes looking after her staff.<br />

“I’ve always had a passion for programming and also development<br />

of staff. I feel strongly about mentoring,” she said.<br />

LoCI is experiencing a significant vacancy<br />

rate in corrections officers and other<br />

positions at the prison, including medical<br />

care. Recruitment is a big push now.<br />

“For me, DRC has been a great career,”<br />

Hildebrand said. “I always tell people, it’s<br />

like our own little world. There are so many<br />

avenues you can take—business, medical,<br />

mental health, security, food service, education,<br />

administration. The sky’s the limit of<br />

the diverse positions you can go into with<br />

DRC. I’ve been fortunate with my career.<br />

I’ve loved every single one of my jobs.”<br />

Hildebrand got her start in the field as a<br />

pre-trial release officer in Kentucky after<br />

graduating from Eastern Kentucky University<br />

in 1987 with a degree in corrections and<br />

administration of justice. Her first job with<br />

ODRC was as a correction officer at the<br />

Franklin Pre-Release Center in Columbus.<br />

She said the job set the foundation for what<br />

has become her life’s work.<br />

Over the past three decades, Hildebrand<br />

has worked in all facets of corrections, from<br />

security and unit management to mental<br />

health, accreditation, and business administration.<br />

She has worked with male and fe-<br />

ABORTION<br />

Continued from page 1<br />

male offenders at all security levels. Prior to taking the reins at<br />

LoCI, she headed up the Franklin Medical Center, a 500-bed facility<br />

in Columbus for incarcerated adults.<br />

One of the many highlights of Hildebrand’s career is her involvement<br />

in energy, conservation and sustainability efforts across the<br />

state’s corrections system. She developed a sustainability plan to save<br />

energy, increase efficiency, and increase recycling and conservation<br />

efforts, establishing partnerships with the Columbus Zoo, Department<br />

of Wildlife and others, as well as developing offender programming<br />

related to the effort. She was the first female chief of ODRC’s<br />

Bureau of Construction, Activation, Maintenance and Sustainability.<br />

As she begins this new chapter in career, Hildebrand is focusing<br />

not only on how to make things better for offenders and staffers,<br />

but also for the surrounding community. Her goal is to build on the<br />

service projects LoCI can do to benefit others outside the prison’s<br />

boundaries.<br />

Over the years, LoCI offenders have made flashcards for school<br />

students, created backdrops for school plays, and cleaned and repaired<br />

used, donated toys for Christmas outreach programs, among<br />

other service projects. The Pets Uniting People Program (PUPP) at<br />

LoCI is an especially successful service program through which offenders<br />

train rescue dogs.<br />

“We want to work with local schools, churches, and other groups<br />

to perform community service,” Hildebrand said. “I look forward to<br />

giving back to the community that I live in.”<br />

For more information or to make a community service request,<br />

call the warden’s office at (740) 852-2454.<br />

ings its authority is derived from the Ohio Revised Code.<br />

Referencing the code, Hitt stated, “In review of the powers<br />

granted to municipal corporations and the powers granted to the<br />

legislative authority of municipal corporations, there is clearly no<br />

authority granted to the city that would allow the regulation of<br />

abortion at the municipal level. In the event that council would approve<br />

the ordinance, such legislation would be unenforceable.”<br />

At the Oct. 7 meeting, Smith characterized Hitt’s concerns regarding<br />

potential lawsuits against the city as fearmongering. He<br />

said other cities have passed similar legislation without legal ramifications.<br />

Council member Carla Blazier countered Smith’s comments,<br />

saying the liability issues are real and need to be examined.<br />

At the Oct. 21 meeting, Comer and several other council members<br />

thanked residents for attending meetings and expressing their<br />

opinions. Comer noted that the proposed legislation will be up for<br />

further discussion at the finance committee meeting on Nov. 8 at<br />

4:30 p.m. and the safety committee meeting on Nov. 9 at 5 p.m. Both<br />

meetings will take place at city hall, 20 S. Walnut St.<br />

<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains Local Schools’ request for renewal of an income<br />

tax appears to have passed by a narrow margin. The tally was close<br />

for the <strong>Madison</strong> County Emergency Medical District’s request for a<br />

tax renewal with an increase. Jefferson Township’s attempt at a tax<br />

levy for a new fire station and operating expenses failed 777-1,098.<br />

All other issues on the ballot passed by substantial margins.<br />

The results released by the <strong>Madison</strong> County Board of Elections<br />

on Election Night are considered unofficial. Still to be counted are<br />

provisional ballots and any outstanding absentee ballots. Absentee<br />

ballots postmarked by Nov. 1 and received by Nov. 12 will be included<br />

in the final tallies. The elections board has until Nov. 23 to<br />

certify the final results of the election.<br />

Elections officials were surprised by the overall voter turnout.<br />

As of Nov. 2, 9,060 of <strong>Madison</strong> County’s 25,847 registered voters<br />

cast ballots in the Nov. 2 general election. That amounts to a 35<br />

percent voter turnout. In <strong>November</strong> 2019, the last non-presidential<br />

election, the turnout was 23 percent.<br />

“We were pretty shocked that it was as high as it was. We’re always<br />

happy with a high turnout,” said Abby Metheney, director of<br />

the <strong>Madison</strong> County Board of Elections.<br />

25th annual Christmas celebration set for Dec. 1<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

After a year off due to the pandemic,<br />

Christmas in South Charleston is back. The<br />

25th annual event, sponsored by the South<br />

Charleston Community Club, will take<br />

place from 4 to 8 p.m. Dec. 1 on and around<br />

Chillicothe Street.<br />

Jennifer McKee, club president, is happy<br />

for the event’s return for two reasons.<br />

“It’s a uniting event for the community<br />

and very children-oriented. It’s a definite<br />

outreach and special time for the village,”<br />

she said. “It’s also the only public fundraiser<br />

for the Community Club, which solely supports<br />

South Charleston Community Park.”<br />

The <strong>2021</strong> version of Christmas in South<br />

Charleston offers many of the traditional elements<br />

of past celebrations, including vendors,<br />

children’s activities, a parade, food<br />

trucks, a bonfire, and the always popular raffle.<br />

Downtown businesses will be open, offering<br />

Christmas-themed sales and activities.<br />

Vendors will be set up inside First Presbyterian<br />

Church, 15 N. Chillicothe St., and<br />

Gilbert’s Youth Center, 65 S. Chillicothe St.<br />

many stamps and stickers from businesses<br />

as they can, and turning in their booklet at<br />

First Presbyterian Church at the end of the<br />

night for a chance at prizes. The drawing<br />

New features for Opera House event<br />

Christmas at the Opera House returns to South Charleston with<br />

a few new twists.<br />

Traditionally, the performance features a community choir, the<br />

Southeastern High School band, and other small vocal and instrumental<br />

ensembles. This year, a children’s dance troupe is in the<br />

mix, too, along with the high school choir.<br />

“We anticipate some other surprise/interesting performances,<br />

but those are not finalized yet,” said Carol Wildman, who is new to<br />

organizing the event but who has provided piano accompaniment<br />

in the past and directed various other choirs and music programs<br />

over the years.<br />

This year’s performance is set for Dec. 4<br />

at 7 p.m. at the Opera House located on the<br />

second floor at town hall, 35 S. Chillicothe<br />

St. The South Charleston Heritage Commission,<br />

which operates and maintains the<br />

opera house, is installing a new stair lift,<br />

making the facility accessible to everyone.<br />

In a change from years past, the commission<br />

is offering one performance time instead<br />

of two. Admission is free. A donation<br />

box will be located in the lobby with all proceeds<br />

going to the commission.<br />

“We’re going with one performance this<br />

year mostly because our numbers for the<br />

community choir are smaller than usual,”<br />

Carol said. “We have 10 to 15 in the choir<br />

this year, about half as many as usual. Most<br />

are returning members.”<br />

She said some who declined to partici-<br />

Participants in a new children’s dance troupe will perform at<br />

Christmas at the Opera House on Dec. 4. A community choir,<br />

Southeastern High School’s band and choir, and other small ensembles<br />

also will perform.<br />

pate this year cited concerns about COVID-19 risks.<br />

“We are taking as much precautions as we can. We’re spreading<br />

out at rehearsals and all singing in the same direction,” she said.<br />

Carol welcomes anyone who would like to be part of the choir,<br />

can read music, and is comfortable with jumping in and learning<br />

quickly. The group rehearses on Sundays at 5 p.m. at First Presbyterian<br />

Church, 15 N. Chillicothe St. Anyone interested need only<br />

show up to rehearsals.<br />

Likewise, Kim Wildman, Carol’s daughter, welcomes any children<br />

who would like to be part of the dance troupe. Practices take<br />

place on Thursdays (except Thanksgiving) at Gilbert’s Youth Center,<br />

Village secures state grant for wastewater project<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

The village of South Charleston is on the receiving end of grant<br />

money that will positively impact water quality not only locally but<br />

also in communities along the Little Miami River down to Cincinnati.<br />

At a press conference on Nov. 2 at South Charleston town hall,<br />

Gov. Mike DeWine announced the village is one of 28 communities<br />

around the state to receive funding in a second round of new grants<br />

aimed at improving water infrastructure.<br />

“As a small community, we sometimes find it difficult to compete<br />

with the larger cities when it comes to funding,” said Trecia Waring,<br />

village administrator. “Today, we are going to celebrate a little bit.<br />

We have a win for the little guy.”<br />

Through the new Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure grant program,<br />

South Charleston will receive $641,800 to make improvements<br />

at its wastewater treatment plant, primarily to address<br />

phosphorous control. This funding will be combined with $300,000<br />

from the Ohio Public Works Commission.<br />

Steve Canter, an engineer with Environmental Engineering, the<br />

firm that oversees the village’s water and wastewater plants, said<br />

the project will allow South Charleston to remain compliant with<br />

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency permit requirements.<br />

He explained that Gilroy Ditch in South Charleston is the headwaters<br />

to the Little Miami River. As such, South Charleston is<br />

home to the first wastewater treatment plant that discharges into<br />

that river system.<br />

“So, I view this as not only benefitting the community of South<br />

Charleston but the five counties where the Little Miami River traverses.<br />

That makes up about 1.5 million people that are going to benefit<br />

from our little project here,” Canter said.<br />

The project will maximize the plant’s ability to remove phosphorous<br />

biologically. A chemical treatment process will serve as<br />

backup. Additionally, some of the funds will be used to address<br />

stormwater intrusion into the village’s sanitary sewer system.<br />

DeWine explained that when he took office, he and Lt. Gov. Jon<br />

Husted put an emphasis on clean water. They started with H2Ohio,<br />

a 10-year plan to reduce algal blooms on Lake Erie and other bodies<br />

of water statewide.<br />

With the receipt of federal dollars related to COVID-19 pandemic<br />

relief, DeWine’s office sought and received permission to launch another<br />

clean water initiative. The Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure<br />

program sets aside $250 million to focus on clean water, wastewater<br />

systems, and water issues related to lead pipes.<br />

DeWine described the federal funding as one-time money that<br />

the state is spending on one-time expenses—capitol improvements<br />

to water infrastructure systems around the state.<br />

While some of the grants are going to larger cities, he said, “The<br />

vast majority of the grants are going to smaller communities.”<br />

Sam Stucky, president of South Charleston’s village commission,<br />

CONCERT<br />

9, and 6:45-7:30 for ages 10 and older.<br />

“I just thought it would be nice to get the kids involved<br />

in something,” said Kim who grew up in South<br />

Charleston and owns Dance Loft Plus in Xenia. “I<br />

wanted to give back to the community now that I’ve<br />

moved back to the area.”<br />

The State of Ohio is awarding a $641,800<br />

grant to the village of South Charleston for<br />

improvements to the wastewater treatment<br />

plant. On hand for the Nov. 2 announcement<br />

were: (from left) Jessica Hiser, village<br />

clerk; Melanie Flax Wilt, Clark County commissioner;<br />

Trecia Waring, village manager;<br />

Justin Mason, village engineer staff; Gov.<br />

Mike DeWine; Steve Canter, village engineer;<br />

Sam Stucky, village commission<br />

president; Jeff Swartzbaugh, village engineer;<br />

and Rhonda Sweeney, village commission<br />

vice president.<br />

said he is very thankful for the grant. He<br />

said the project has been sitting on the village’s<br />

table for a long time, stuck for lack of<br />

funding. Now, it can finally move forward.<br />

“This is big for a village of roughly 1,700<br />

people,” he said.<br />

DeWine’s office rolled out the first round<br />

Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure funding<br />

the week of Oct. 25, awarding $94 million in<br />

grants for 54 projects in 60 counties. The<br />

second round encompasses a total of $44<br />

million in grants for 28 projects in 28 counties.<br />

Additional rounds are planned in the<br />

coming weeks.<br />

Toddler and preschool storytimes continue at Houston Library<br />

Houston Library, 5 W. Jamestown St., South Charleston, is hosting<br />

storytimes on Thursdays through Dec. 9 (except Nov. 25). At 10<br />

a.m., the focus is on children ages 2 and 3 years old and their parents/caregivers.<br />

At 11 a.m., the focus is on children ages 4 and 5<br />

years old and their parents/caregivers. Anyone<br />

who has children in both age groups can<br />

choose one storytime to attend. Space is limited.<br />

Call the library to pre-register.<br />

Participants are learning general dance movements<br />

with hints of ballet. Each age group will perform a number<br />

at Christmas at the Opera House.<br />

“The movements are easy and quick to learn and fun<br />

to do. It’s a creative dance style,” Kim said.<br />

Benji and Delilah available for adoption<br />

The following are among the pets up for<br />

adoption at the Humane Society of <strong>Madison</strong><br />

County. If you are interested in adopting a<br />

pet, fill out an application online at<br />

www.hsmcohio.org or call the shelter at<br />

(614) 879-8368.<br />

Benji<br />

Benji is a young<br />

dog that came to the<br />

shelter as a stray.<br />

His approximate<br />

birth date is Nov.<br />

27, 2020. He stayed<br />

in a home for a few<br />

days, and this is<br />

what the family<br />

sent about his experience:<br />

“Hi, there. I’m<br />

Benji, and I’m full of love, kisses, and tons<br />

of energy. I get along with everyone, and I<br />

mean everyone. I get so excited when I meet<br />

new people that I just can’t control myself,<br />

and I jump and try to say hello, but it comes<br />

out as a bark.<br />

“I love to go on walks and explore every-<br />

thing around me. I just can’t sniff enough.<br />

You do need to watch me though, because I<br />

also like to eat everything I come across on<br />

the ground, and I mean everything. Because<br />

I love to go on walks so much, I do tend to<br />

pull on my leash a bit, so I will need some<br />

training in this area.<br />

“Speaking of food, I love to eat, and I love<br />

my treats. If you tell me to ‘sit and wait’<br />

while you get my bowl ready, I will sit like a<br />

gentleman, but the minute you put my food<br />

down, watch out, because I will go for it like<br />

it’s my last meal. So, maybe only let adults<br />

feed me.<br />

“I know all the basic commands—sit, stay,<br />

heel, stop, enough and drop it. Because of all<br />

my energy and because I think I’m a lapdog<br />

and not a big dog, I would probably do best<br />

in a home with a fenced yard and no young<br />

children. Just look at my sweet face. I know<br />

you will love adding me to your family.”<br />

Benji doesn’t mind being around cats and<br />

ignores them for the most part. He is full of<br />

life and loves to play with other dogs. Although<br />

Benji plays well with other dogs, he<br />

does not like to share his things (food, treats<br />

opportunities to help<br />

Tax-Aide preparers<br />

The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program<br />

is seeking volunteer tax preparers for<br />

next year. Tax-Aide provides free tax preparation,<br />

primarily for senior citizens, at the<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> County Emergency Management<br />

Agency in London.<br />

Anyone who does his or her own taxes on<br />

a program such as TurboTax is an ideal candidate<br />

for the volunteer opportunity. Volunteers<br />

receive IRS-approved training, use<br />

IRS-provided computers and are mentored<br />

throughout the tax season.<br />

Volunteers save often financially pressed<br />

senior citizens the cost of paying a private<br />

preparer and provide a calm, reassuring<br />

and steady hand in a sometimes stressful<br />

situation.<br />

to be the only dog in his forever home. On<br />

playdates, food, treats and toys should not<br />

be in the mix. Benji is a smart pooch and<br />

takes cues very well from people. Give this<br />

baby a chance, and you won’t regret it.<br />

Adoption fees for dogs vary: shelter dogs<br />

are $150, prison dogs are $200, puppies are<br />

$250, and popular pure-breeds are $400.<br />

The price includes: a Home Again microchip,<br />

set of shots, deworming, heartworm<br />

testing (if old enough), spay or neuter, and<br />

a one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All<br />

dogs adopted must leave with a county license<br />

at an additional cost of $17. Fees can<br />

be paid by cash or credit card.<br />

Delilah<br />

Delilah arrived<br />

on June 11, <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

She is a tuxedo kitty<br />

and has an estimated<br />

birthday of<br />

Dec. 11, 2020. During<br />

her first few<br />

days at the shelter,<br />

she was really<br />

scared. To help her<br />

gain confidence, a<br />

wonderful volunteer<br />

took her to her home so she could be in a<br />

home setting and learn to trust people.<br />

Delilah is making great strides in her foster<br />

home. She is now more loving and social.<br />

Delilah is not around other animals, but<br />

she is loving the human attention. Her foster<br />

momma reports that she perks up and<br />

comes running to be petted and is OK with<br />

being picked up. She will require time to get<br />

used to new surroundings and a new family,<br />

but once she is comfortable, she will be her<br />

family’s lifelong best friend.<br />

The adoption fee is $80 for kittens up to<br />

6 months old and $60 for cats 7 months and<br />

older. It includes: a FeLV/FIV test, spay or<br />

neuter, set of shots, deworming, and a oneyear<br />

rabies shot (if old enough). Fees can be<br />

paid by cash or credit card.<br />
