Packing a truck headed for Mayfield, Kentucky<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> County mayors work<br />

together to help tornado victims<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

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

On the afternoon of Dec. 20, a steady stream of generous folks<br />

pulled up alongside a large truck parked not far from Plain City’s<br />

municipal building. From their car trunks and back seats, those<br />

folks unloaded everything from blankets to bottled water. The goal:<br />

Fill the truck with supplies for the residents of tornado-ravaged<br />

Mayfield, Ky.<br />

Organized by Mount Sterling Mayor Marci Darlington, the collection<br />

effort was dubbed “Mayors of <strong>Madison</strong> County for Mayfield.”<br />

Donations were collected Dec. 20-22 in Plain City, London, West<br />

Jefferson and Mount Sterling.<br />

Darlington knew she wanted to help after hearing about the devastation<br />

in Mayfield earlier this month. She reached out to the other<br />

mayors in <strong>Madison</strong> County to make it a county-wide effort.<br />

At about the same time, London resident John Lickliter had the<br />

same thoughts. Knowing he wanted to do something, he reached<br />

out to London Mayor Patrick Closser who pointed him in Darlington’s<br />

direction.<br />

Lickliter’s employers, Gueterverkehr LLC and Tri-State Expedited<br />

Service, jumped on board, providing the use of a truck to collect<br />

and haul the supplies and donating money for gasoline.<br />

Lickliter donated his time to drive the supplies to Mayfield.<br />

The project came together in just a matter of days, and the response<br />

was great.<br />

Plain City Mayor Jody Carney helped to<br />

spread the word by posting information on<br />

the village’s app and social media pages.<br />

“I “I just said, ‘Let’s show what Plain City<br />

is is made of, and let’s get the giving going,’”<br />

she said.<br />

Word spread, and people like Mary Sims<br />

and Vickie Yoder showed up.<br />

“It’s a time of of giving and being kind and<br />

making an extra effort,” said Sims as she<br />

and Yoder dropped off blankets, water and<br />

toilet paper at the Plain City collection<br />

point. “It really feels good. I’m so glad we’re<br />

doing this.”<br />

Plain City resident Tiffany Eudaily donated<br />

feminine hygiene products, diapers,<br />

wipes, baby bath products and baby pajamas.<br />

“It “It pulls at at your heart strings as a mom,”<br />

said Eudaily, who also recently became a<br />

grandmother. She felt for the children impacted<br />

by by the devastation in Kentucky.<br />

Carney related the story of an elementary<br />

school teacher at Olentangy Public<br />

Schools who heard about <strong>Madison</strong> County’s<br />

efforts. The teacher had completed her student<br />

teaching in Mayfield, Ky., and wanted<br />

to to help them out. She and her students at<br />

Olentangy collected a moving truck full of<br />

supplies and dropped them off in Plain City.<br />

“Mayors of <strong>Madison</strong> County for Mayfield” kicked off on Dec. 20 in Plain City. The collection of supplies for residents<br />

in tornado-ravaged Mayfield, Ky., ran through Dec. 22 at different locations around the county. (From<br />

left) Vickie Yoder and Mary Sims were among the residents who dropped off donations in Plain City; London<br />

resident John Lickliter, Mount Sterling Mayor Marci Darlington and Plain City Mayor Jody Carney were there to<br />

accept them.<br />

Darlington and Lickliter<br />

were thrilled with the response,<br />

and Darlington said<br />

this is just the beginning.<br />

When Mayfield, Ky., fades<br />

from the headlines, she said<br />

she will still be there for them.<br />

“I pledged my next two<br />

years as mayor to help them on<br />

their way. My gosh, think if it<br />

happened to us?,” Darlington<br />

said. “This might be something<br />

we do quarterly. We can check<br />

in with them to see what they<br />

need as time goes on.”<br />

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

Everyone is still raving about this year’s Christmas in the Village.<br />

The Mount Sterling Chamber of Commerce hosted the event<br />

on Dec. 4. The lighted parade was one of the many bright spots.<br />

“The deputies who worked (the parade) were all impressed. They<br />

loved it,” said Deputy Jack Dill at the Dec. 13 village council meeting.<br />

“They said it was very enjoyable just to be standing and watching<br />

it.”<br />

Becky Martin, a council member and<br />

Chamber president, said the parade included<br />

a whopping 46 entries.<br />

“We never expected that kind of<br />

turnout. It just kept growing and growing,”<br />

she said.<br />

The turnout of visitors was big, too.<br />

Hundreds of people watched the parade,<br />

walked the streets, and stopped in to participating<br />

businesses, Martin said.<br />

Entries in the Community Center’s<br />

Christmas tree silent auction, set up at<br />

town hall, showed that visitors came<br />

from both near and far away.<br />

“Everywhere that we had something<br />

set up, it was so packed. Shoulder to<br />

shoulder,” Martin said, adding that food<br />

trucks and other groups offering goodies<br />

ran out of food due to the large turnout.<br />

“We have really big shoes to fill next<br />

year because it was an amazing success.”<br />

Martin thanked everyone who helped<br />

to put on the event, including her fellow<br />

Chamber members and council members,<br />

Masonic Lodge 269, lodge member Tim<br />

Corbin for serving as the parade organizer<br />

and announcer, Sterling Joint Ambulance<br />

District, Tri-County Joint Fire<br />

District, American Legion Post 417, and<br />

the many businesses and individuals<br />

who made donations of one kind or another.<br />

Martin noted that the Giving Tree is<br />

still on display at town hall. New hats<br />

and mittens attached to the tree are free<br />

for the taking.<br />

With a giant inflatable snowman at the helm, the festive Masonic<br />

Lodge 269 trailer rolls down the parade route during Mount Sterling’s<br />

Christmas in the Village.<br />

What’s a parade without a little whimsy? All Ohio Portable Toilets<br />

kept it simple and silly.<br />

MP food service adapts to pandemic challenges<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

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

Adapting—it’s an ongoing state of operations<br />

during the COVID-19 pandemic for<br />

nearly every facet of a school district. Food<br />

service certainly is no exception.<br />

Sherri Allen, food service supervisor at<br />

<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains Local Schools, said the <strong>2021</strong>-<br />

22 school year started with challenges, including<br />

illness and food and supply shortages.<br />

“It was a rough beginning, but we muddled<br />

through it, and we learned along the<br />

way. It continues to be a struggle each week,”<br />

she said at the Dec. 14 school board meeting.<br />

Bright spots have emerged, though.<br />

Normally, federal guidelines require<br />

school districts to follow certain guidelines<br />

when menu planning. Choices must adhere<br />

to calorie counts, sodium and saturated fats<br />

restrictions, a certain percentage of whole<br />

grains, and so on. That can be difficult to do<br />

when certain foods are hard to get, Allen said.<br />

To help school districts address this issue, the<br />

United States Department of Agriculture issued<br />

waivers this school year. Districts can<br />

order alternative items without penalty when<br />

compliant items are not available.<br />

Another bright spot is Healthy Pro, new<br />

software that will help Allen and her staff<br />

plan menus and allow school nurses to<br />

check for things like allergens and carbohydrate<br />

counts for certain students. Allen is<br />

working through a training on the software<br />

now. When it is up and running, parents<br />

and guardians will have access to an app to<br />

see the menus for each day, complete with<br />

nutritional information.<br />

Todd Mustain, district treasurer, noted<br />

that federal COVID-19 relief funds distributed<br />

through the county government covered<br />

the cost of the software.<br />

Allen also was happy to report that participation<br />

in the Seamless Summer meal option<br />

is up. The federal program offers free<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

breakfast and lunch to students at all grade levels. Participation in<br />

grades K-6 is up 42 percent for breakfast and 43 percent for lunch.<br />

Participation at the junior high and high school is up 71 percent for<br />

breakfast and 60 percent for lunch.<br />

At the Dec. 14 meeting, Allen recognized the members of her food<br />

service team, praising them for going above and beyond their job<br />

duties each day and for making connections with the students.<br />

“They build a rapport with the students. That’s rare for lunch<br />

ladies to just intertwine with them and talk to them. These kids<br />

know they can come and just have a talk with them if they want<br />

to... They are making a difference,” she said.<br />

Chad Eisler, district superintendent, praised the food service<br />

staff for weathering pandemic-related issues over the past two<br />

school years, including closures, food shortages, and packing food<br />

their work is incredibly important,” he said.<br />

Mt. Sterling ends year on positive financial note<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

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

The village of Mount Sterling is ending<br />

the year on a positive note financially.<br />

“I’m pretty satisfied. The (state) auditors<br />

are pretty satisfied with how the year’s ending.<br />

Revenues have been well above budget<br />

for several, several months now. That’s really<br />

good news,” Courtney Bricker, the village’s<br />

fiscal officer, reported at the Dec. 13<br />

council meeting.<br />

She noted the village spent just 67 percent<br />

of the funds earmarked for expenditures<br />

in <strong>2021</strong>. Council member Andy Drake,<br />

chair of the finance committee, said the carryover<br />

will come in handy as the village is<br />

looking at several large projects for 2022.<br />

“We ended the year in a pretty solid footing.<br />

The village is in good shape. It’s very<br />

solvent. It’s pointed in the right direction,<br />

and we have a pretty darn exciting 2022,”<br />

obituaries<br />

Drake said, adding he appreciates the input<br />

residents and other village leaders provided<br />

at finance meetings over the past year.<br />

The next financial commission meeting<br />

which includes state auditor representation,<br />

is scheduled for 10 a.m. Jan. 25 at town hall.<br />

Bricker also provided a rundown of building<br />

and zoning activity for the year: residential<br />

permits, 30; new dwellings, 11;<br />

commercial, 4; right-of-way, 1; zoning, 24;<br />

and variances, 9.<br />

“That’s a lot,” Bricker said, adding that<br />

the 11 permits for new dwellings are for<br />

homes in Phase 2 of the Deer Creek Run development.<br />

Drake thanked members of the planning<br />

and zoning committee, most of whom are<br />

community members, for their work in<br />

<strong>2021</strong>. The group meets twice a month.<br />

“This village is significantly changed as<br />

a result of their hard work. We can see it.<br />

Events at Mt. Sterling Library<br />

from 6 to 7:30 p.m. the first and third Mondays<br />

• Closed for the holidays. The library<br />

Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 and resume normal<br />

hours on Jan. 3. No fines or late fees will accrue<br />

during the closures.<br />

You can actually do business with the village<br />

in a meaningful way when it comes to<br />

building and zoning. I am really thankful<br />

for their efforts,” he said.<br />

The village contracts with the village of<br />

West Jefferson for planning and zoning<br />

services. Bricker thanked Tom Hale and<br />

Kristi West of that department for their<br />

support, especially with their guidance in<br />

updating Mount Sterling’s zoning map.<br />

In other discussion and business:<br />

• Mayor Marci Darlington thanked outgoing<br />

council members Craig Hix and<br />

Melanie Fritz for their service on council.<br />

• Bricker reminded residents that cars<br />

parked on public roadways must be moved<br />

every 24 hours. Otherwise, owners will be<br />

cited and the cars will be towed.<br />

• Council unanimously passed the 2022<br />

budget, transferred water and sewer funds,<br />

and approved a contract with Rumpke for<br />

solid waste removal.<br />

The Dec. 27 council meeting has been<br />

cancelled. In January, council will return to<br />

its regular meeting schedule, 7 p.m. the second<br />

and fourth Monday of each month.<br />

council meeting, council member Becky Martin announced the creation<br />

of a Friends of the Park committee. Deanna Pettit, owner of<br />

Hammertime Pub in Mount Sterling, is heading up the group. Meetings<br />

are set for 6 p.m. the fourth Thursday<br />

of each month at town hall.<br />

Pettit has already held fundraisers<br />

through her business to benefit the park,<br />

the most recent being a chili cookoff during<br />

Christmas in the Village. The contest raised<br />

over $600. Pettit has fundraisers planned<br />

for the first three months of the year.<br />

The Friends of the Park committee plans<br />

to solicit donations from businesses and corporations<br />

and explore other fundraising opportunities.<br />

Anyone interested in helping is<br />

welcome to attend the monthly meetings.<br />

The local fundraising efforts go hand-inhand<br />

with the village’s plans to apply for<br />

state funding for improvements at the park.<br />

In recent years, the city of London and the<br />

village of West Jefferson have secured state<br />

dollars for park projects. The deadline for<br />

next year’s state funding cycle is March.<br />

In the meantime, village leaders are seeking<br />

input from residents about what they<br />

would like to see at Mason Park. A link to a<br />

short survey can be found on the village’s<br />

home page, www.mtsterling.org. The survey<br />

can be accessed directly at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GKL3W99.<br />

Paper copies<br />

are available in the town hall lobby.<br />

The survey asks respondents how often<br />

they visit the park, what activities bring<br />

them to the park, and if they would visit the<br />

park more often if it featured a better walking<br />

path and if sidewalks were installed allowing<br />

pedestrian traffic to get to the park<br />

safely. The survey also asks if residents have<br />

family members or friends who would take<br />

advantage of an all-inclusive playground designed<br />

for children of all abilities. London<br />

and West Jefferson used state funding to install<br />

all-inclusive playground equipment.<br />

The survey includes a list of potential improvements:<br />

bathrooms with running water,<br />

concession stand, splash pad, enhanced<br />

walking path in the park, sidewalks to the<br />

park, dog park, trees and flowers, and<br />

benches along the walking path.<br />

Toy collection success<br />

www.madisonmessengernews.com<br />

On behalf of the Tri-County Firefighters<br />

Association, I would like to thank all those<br />

who donated to the <strong>2021</strong> toy drive. There<br />

was an overwhelming response from the<br />

community, as well as the local business,<br />

sector regardless of the COVID-19 virus.<br />

Some of the local organizations, businesses<br />

and individuals that donated funds<br />

this year were: Mount Sterling American<br />

Legion Post 417 Charitable Fund, Meijer at<br />

665 Grove City, Jay Car Construction, M&P<br />

Partnership, Knights of Pythias Talmadge<br />

Lodge 194, and Denny Wischmeyer.<br />

I would also like to thank those who gave<br />

generously with monetary funds and gift<br />

cards and those who contributed during the<br />

annual boot drive. As usual, the community<br />

came together in a big way to help others in<br />

need. I also want to thank the local businesses<br />

that put a fire boot in their establishments<br />

to collect funds.<br />

The community served 20 families totaling<br />

44 children. The Firefighters Association<br />

could not do this without community<br />

support, and we are looking forward to<br />

2022! Happy holidays!<br />

Great turnout for<br />

Christmas festivities<br />

It was great to see so many citizens at<br />

Mount Sterling’s Christmas in the Village<br />

on Dec. 4. You could feel Christmas in the<br />

air. There were little children waiting to see<br />

Santa and talk to him. The Nazarene<br />

church showed the real reason for the season<br />

with a live nativity scene. It was just a<br />

wonderful time for all. God bless everyone<br />

who helped out.<br />

Parents at classroom parties?<br />

<strong>December</strong> 26, <strong>2021</strong> - MADISON MESSENGER - Page 17<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

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

Should the school district permit parents<br />

to attend classroom parties? That’s a question<br />

<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains Local Schools leaders<br />

will reassess at the start of 2022.<br />

The topic came up at the Dec. 14 school<br />

board meeting when Chad Eisler, district<br />

superintendent, asked Brad Miller, principal<br />

for the K-6 building, to explain his decision<br />

to bar parents from attending holiday<br />

classroom parties.<br />

Miller said many of the teachers did not<br />

feel comfortable having parents in the buildings<br />

at this time due to the pandemic.<br />

“I know that the decision I have made is<br />

probably not a popular decision with some<br />

of the parents, but I had to make a decision<br />

that I felt was the best for students and our<br />

staff,” he said.<br />

School board member Mark Mason said<br />

that with sports, music, and other school<br />

events back to normal capacity, he didn’t understand<br />

Miller’s decision. He said he respects<br />

the perspective of Miller and the teachers, but<br />

said the topic was worth discussing.<br />

“This is something small, but I do think<br />

it has value,” Mason said.<br />

Miller said parents most often attend<br />

classroom parties in the K-3 grade levels.<br />

Typically, that amounts to a couple of parents<br />

per classroom.<br />

Eisler agreed with Mason that parent involvement<br />

in events like classroom parties<br />

is “part of the fabric of schools.” It’s good to<br />

have that interaction among parents, teachers,<br />

and students, he said.<br />

“We want a vibrant school community.<br />

We want our parents involved. We want<br />

them here,” Eisler said, but he also sees the<br />

staff’s side.<br />

“I do understand the concern for the<br />

teachers who are interfacing with that<br />

many students every day, and then you<br />

bring some more adults into the mix — I get<br />

it, I really do understand. It’s a difficult situation,”<br />

he added.<br />

Anthoula Xenikis, school board president,<br />

said the board should respect Miller’s<br />

decision and reevaluate the idea of parents<br />

at classroom parties come January.<br />

School board member Bryan Stonerock<br />

said the same. Like everyone, he said he is<br />

“ready to be done with the pandemic” and<br />

its impact on what once were routine events,<br />

but he respects the teachers’ input and<br />

Miller’s decision.<br />

“They deal with it every day,” he said.<br />

Kelly Cooley, board vice president, suggested<br />

school leaders consider adding something<br />

like an end-of-the-year party if<br />

pandemic conditions ease.<br />

“There could be other events that we<br />

could celebrate,” she said.<br />

Levy and facilities<br />

Xenikis, Mason and Eisler each thanked<br />

voters for their support of the 1.25 percent<br />

income tax levy renewal, which passed by<br />

one vote in the Nov. 2 election.<br />

“There’s a lot of potential. I’m excited for<br />

the future,” Mason said.<br />

Eisler said the renewal, which comes with a 10-year term, helps<br />

to bring financial health and stability to the district. That, in turn,<br />

allows district leaders to have long-term discussions about programming,<br />

personnel, and facilities.<br />

He noted the district’s permanent improvements levy is up for<br />

renewal in 2022. Permanent improvement funds can be used for<br />

projects such as facility upgrades.<br />

“We want to have these things (finances) squared away so that<br />

hopefully we can then have that conversation about facilities because<br />

it is very, very desperately needed,” Eisler said.<br />

Along those lines, Todd Mustain, district treasurer, reported the<br />

district had to dip into its permanent improvement funds for unexpected<br />

expenses this year.<br />

“We have some failing infrastructure around the district that’s<br />

starting to happen a little bit more frequently,” he said.<br />

The district appropriated $32,000 to cover the following: service<br />

for heating and air conditioning units in classrooms at the elementary<br />

and junior high; razing the maintenance barn because it was<br />

deemed unsuitable for use; purchasing a storage container to house<br />

equipment; installing a gravel driveway to the new storage container;<br />

and unexpected sewer and water operator costs.<br />

Other business<br />

Eisler said the district continues to make improvements to its mobile<br />

app, available for free through the App Store or Google Play. The<br />

app pulls information from the district website, allows users to sign<br />

up for mobile push notifications by building, and provides students<br />

with access to the Safe Schools help line, among other features.<br />

The board named Cooley as president pro-tem for the board’s<br />

Jan. 11 annual organizational meeting which will take place at 7<br />

p.m. in the district meeting room, followed immediately by the<br />

board’s regular monthly meeting.

the Common Pleas Court of <strong>Madison</strong> County, Ohio in Case No. CV <strong>2021</strong>0175 against them, alleging<br />

that on February 2, 2004, William J. Hart and Carole A. Hart aka Carol Hart executed a promissory<br />

note to Plaintiff; that William J. Hart and Carole A. Hart aka Carol Hart have defaulted in the payment<br />

Parcel No.: 17-00617.000<br />

Address: 11480 State Route 56 SE, Mt. Sterling, Ohio 43143<br />

Plaintiff says that said mortgage was delivered to the Recorder of <strong>Madison</strong> County, Ohio on<br />

February 10, 2004 and was recorded in OR 179, Page 859, and is the first and best lien on said<br />

securing such note to be absolute; that the Treasurer of <strong>Madison</strong> County, Ohio; Unknown Heirs,<br />

Fiduciaries, Beneficiaries, Donees and/or Devisees of Carole A. Hart aka Carol Hart; William J. Hart;<br />

Action, together with interest currently at the rate of 4.25% per annum from May 4, <strong>2021</strong> plus<br />

interest, late charges, advances and penalties: that the mortgage set forth in the Second Cause of<br />

Action be foreclosed and all equities of redemption be forever cut off; that Plaintiff be found to<br />

have the first and best lien herein, save the lien of taxes and assessments and the costs of this<br />

action, and that the priority of all liens be determined by this Court; that said premises be sold as<br />

upon execution free and clear of all liens, interest and dower, and the proceeds thereof applied to<br />

the Plaintiff’s claim set out in the foregoing complaint and the Plaintiff may have such other and<br />

further relief to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.<br />

Defendants first hereinabove named are further notified that they are required to answer said<br />

Complaint on or before February 6, 2022 which includes 28 days from the last publication, or judgment<br />
