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 />

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 />

the wrath of God on London, you know.<br />
Please allow our city to refuse to participate<br />
in the killing of innocent, defenseless baby<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
