Village could require
contractor registration
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Mount Sterling village council is considering
legislation that would require general
contractors doing business within village
limits to register with the village.
The proposal calls for an annual registration
fee of $75. The measure would allow the
village to keep a list of contractors and track
and prevent those who do poor work or who
defraud customers from doing business in
the village.
“My main concern with this is storm
chasers—people who come in after hail, tornado,
or a high wind event and take advantage
of the most vulnerable people in our
community,” said council member Andy
Drake, chair of council’s zoning committee.
Should council approve the proposal,
homeowners would be able to ask contractors
if they are registered with the village or
call the village to confirm their registration,
Drake said.
He added that other municipalities in
Madison County have registration requirements
in place for general contractors. These
business operators
must register in

each municipality
that has such legislation
on the books.
Mount Sterling’s
proposal was passed
on first reading at
council’s Sept. 12
meeting. It will be
up for a second
reading at council’s
next regular meeting
on Sept. 26.
Also up for a second
reading on Sept.
26 is legislation that
would establish
building code compliance
standards
and a $40 permit fee
for residential
swimming pools. As
new housing has
come into the village
over the last several
years, the village is
receiving inquiries
from new residents
about the standards,
Drake said.
Mason Park
Environmental Engineering, a consulting
firm out of Columbus, recently flew a
drone over the Mason Park property to get
a lay of the land. With input from council’s
parks and recreation committee and the
community, the firm will put together a
multi-year plan for improvements at the
park.
Thanks to fundraisers and a $75,000
grant from the state capital budget, the village
has approximately $100,000 to spend
on a first phase of improvements. Becky
Martin, chair of the parks and recreation
committee, said the group hopes to nail
down a list of projects for the first phase in
the next few weeks.
Possibilities for improvements in the
short- and long-term include memorial
benches, a dog park, swings, a splash pad, a
walking path that connects the village to the
park, a concession stand with flushable restrooms,
extension of the parking lot, and new
or refurbished fencing. Martin said the committee
welcomes other ideas from the public.
“We have a lot of great ideas, but we’d
love more,” she said.
The parks and recreation committee’s
next meeting is set for 6 p.m. Oct. 5 in council
chambers at town hall. The meeting is
open to the public.
Water tower
Council held a second reading on a resolution
authorizing Mayor Marci Darlington
to apply for a loan through the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency to help cover
the cost of a new water tower. The resolution
will be up for a third reading and possible
vote at council’s next regular meeting.
Drake, chair of council’s finance committee,
emphasized that a loan isn’t necessarily
the way the village wants to go for funding
the water tower. The resolution would just
give the village the opportunity to do so.
“We’re going to look at all of the options
in front of us,” he said. “My personal preference
is to never borrow money.”
The village plans to replace the current
water tower, which is approximately 100
years old, with a new one with a capacity of
150,000 gallons. In April, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers approved a grant to
cover 75 percent of the cost to erect a new
tower. The estimated cost of the project is
$1.37 million which means the grant would

Trinity UMC Women publish special cookbook
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Looking to make something good to eat?
Look no further than “Food for the Soul,” a
new cookbook created by the women of Trinity
United Methodist Church in Lilly
Chapel.
The 200-page cookbook contains recipes
for everything from soups and salads to
main dishes and desserts. Among the many
gems are: “Scalloped Chicken,” the signature
dish of church dinners past; “Fitzger-
resenting British soldiers of the late 18th
century.
Some of the demonstrations are interactive.
For example, visitors can try their
hand at running the rope making machine.
They also can try throwing a tomahawk at
a wood block target. As for children’s games,
young visitors can try playing naughts and
crosses, a game that is similar to tic-tac-toe,
nine pins which has similarities to bowling,
or graces, a catch-and-throw game.
Music is on the schedule, too. The
Springfield Dulcimer Club will perform
ald Birthday Cake,” a banana
cream cake that’s a family favorite;
and all sorts of punch possibilities,
including “Pink Punch”
and “Red Satin Punch.”
The recipes come from a combination
of sources, and that’s what
makes the cookbook special. In addition
to soliciting recipes from
current church members and their
families, organizers took a trip
down memory lane.
“At one time, there used to be
three separate churches—one in Big
Plain, one in Georgesville, and one
in Lilly Chapel. The pastor would
rotate among the churches,” said
Kathy Conner, a member of the
Trinity United Methodist Women.
“The ladies in each of the churches
made cookbooks, then after all the
churches came together as one at
Lilly Chapel, they made another
cookbook. We thought it would be
nice to pick some of the recipes
from the older cookbooks to include
in our new one.”
Then, they decided to take
things a step further. Tim Wilson
of Wilson Printing & Graphics,
the London company that published
the new cookbook, suggested
the organizers include a
memorial section featuring the
recipes and photos of church mem-

bers who have passed on.
“It is such a wonderful tribute
to these people. It just makes the
cookbook rather special,” Conner
said.
The cookbook also includes a history
and photos of the church, cooking
tips, a weights and measures
list, household tips and an index.
The recipe sections include appetizers
and beverages, breads and rolls,
cookies and candies, desserts, main
dishes, relishes and jellies and miscellaneous,
soups and salads, vegetables
and side dishes.
Conner said the project was a
group effort by the women of the
church. She made special mention
of church organist Mary Lynn
Carothers and her daughter, Kara
Elsberry, who worked behind the
scenes to pull everything together.
“It’s been a blessing. People are
enjoying it. Families are looking
back at recipes and pictures of
their loved ones. It’s just really
special, I think,” Conner said.
“Food for the Soul” is available
for purchase. The cost is $20. Anyone
interested in buying a copy

Fitzgerald at (614) 512-6817. Proceeds

cover just over $1 million of the cost. The village
is looking into options for covering its
25 percent share. Possibilities could include
cash, other grants, a loan, or a combination
thereof, Drake said.
The final engineering study for the project
should be done sometime next year.
Stop signs and crosswalks
Council unanimously approved installation
of stop signs at two intersections that
currently do not have stop signs—Friend and
Market streets and Jefferson and Market
streets—as well as one on the alley between
the Tri-County Fire Department station and
the Sunoco gas station, to take the intersection
from a three-way stop to a four-way stop.
“We had a lot of community input on

farm equipment, the blacksmith shop, and
the caboose and train station.
Byrd said Pioneer Days is one of the many
ways the Madison County Historical Society
reaches out to the community to share information
about the county’s heritage.
“It is an all-volunteer effort. We just
want to teach history and what life was like
back on the frontier of Ohio,” he said.

Society” on Facebook.
this,” Drake said about the sign placement.
This is one of many measures council’s
street committees are making to improve
safety around town. Rebecca Brown, who
lives outside the village limits but spends a
lot of the time in the village for her children’s
activities, had another suggestion.
She said she would like to see crosswalks
(paint, lights, and signage) in the main
square in downtown Mount Sterling.
“We have a very cute, quaint little town,
but we get a lot of traffic,” she said.
Drake said the street committee agrees
with Brown and has discussed the need for
crosswalk upgrades. He said the issue will
be on the agenda at the committee’s next
meeting set for 8 a.m. Oct. 5 in council
chambers at town hall.

VVA celebrates 25th anniversary
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
The local Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 746
was chartered 25 years ago. To celebrate the anniversary,
the chapter is hosting an open house for all Vietnam-era
veterans and members of the Associates of the
Vietnam Veterans of America.
“The open house is for companionship and a time to
talk,” said Dave Cunningham, VVA 746 commander
and charter member.
The celebration is scheduled for Sept. 25 starting at
1 p.m. at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7005, 1 Veterans
Way, West Jefferson. Barbecue will be served. Admission
is free.
Chapter 746 was established to give recognition to
Vietnam-era veterans, as well as opportunities for them
to be involved in the community. In the early years, the
chapter had a color guard and chapter members would
speak to students at schools.
These days, members decorate veterans’ graves prior
to Memorial Day each year at Somerford Township, St.
Patrick Catholic and Oak Hill cemeteries. They also collect
worn and tattered American flags and hold an annual
flag disposal ceremony in the fall.
The chapter has 10 to 15 dedicated members and is
open to more members. Membership applications will
be available at the 25th anniversary celebration. A life
membership costs $50. The chapter meets monthly at
various veterans organization posts around Madison
County.
and the same number of students with special needs. Mitchell also
applauded Norwood’s latchkey program.
“It’s not something we see at many other districts,” she said. “At
the ESC, our commitment is to serve the needs of our districts.”
Jefferson Local Superintendent William Mullett said the ESC is
helping the district provide services for gifted students. He also
pointed out that, over the last several years, ESCs across the board
were hit with cuts and forced to stretch dwindling dollars for services
for districts under their prevue.
“We have a lot of fairly high incident kids in our pre-school,” said
Mullett, “and one of the biggest things you do for us is pre-school.”
In regular action, the school board accepted retirement requests
from Jeri “Bambi” Keckley, secretary at Norwood, and Mark
Staffan, a teacher at Norwood. Nick Houk was hired on a one-year
extracurricular contract as the high school/middle school assistant
athletic director, and Cherri Schneider was hired as the athletic
site manager on an as-needed basis.

Bigger haunted house needs more volunteers
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Mount Sterling’s Haunted House will be
bigger and better than ever this year. With
that comes the need for more volunteers.
“Last year, on average, it took 21 people
at any given time to run the haunted house.
So, you can imagine, we’re three times as
big now. It’s going to take more,” said Tom
Corbin, past master of Mount Sterling Masonic
Lodge 269, host of the haunted house.
Organizers invite anyone interested in
volunteering to attend a meeting at 1 p.m.
Sept. 25 at the lodge, 54 N. London St., or
to call Corbin at (614) 530-3132. Volunteers
are needed to serve as actors, work concessions,
and do other tasks, such as help
younger patrons walk through the house.
This year’s Haunted House dates and
times are Oct. 28-29 from 4-10 p.m. and
Oct.. 30 from 2-4 p.m. Admission is free; donations
are accepted. The spooky spectacular
features activities both inside and
outside the lodge. Children’s games, food,
and a deejay are part of the fun outside on
the street. Creepy characters and scary
scenes are what’s happening inside.
“We have a completely different floor
plan than before,” said Corbin, noting this
is the third year for the event. “People will
go through the main lodge, exit out the back
to go through the corn maze, then go back
into another part of the building and finish
out front.”
Among the new additions to the fright
fest are a zombie-infested swamp and a
room full of lasers.
In conjunction with the haunted house,
the Mount Sterling Chamber of Commerce
is holding a costume contest on Oct. 30 at
the lodge. The children’s category is scheduled
for 2:30 p.m. followed by the adults at
3 p.m. The Chamber also is sponsoring the
children’s games throughout the weekend.
Because some of the activities take place
on the street in front of the lodge, Corbin requested
that village council approve closing
the road for the event. At their Sept. 12
meeting, council voted 5-1 to close London
Street from Houston and Church streets to
Main Street from 5 p.m. Oct. 27 (the day before
the event) to 6 p.m. Oct. 30.
Council member Joyce Phillips cast the
“no” vote on the road closure. During discussion
prior to the vote, she said several residents
complained last year about the lack of
detour signage guiding motorists, especially
semi-truck drivers, around the closure. She
also expressed concern about accessibility
for Sunday morning services at a church in
the area.
Council member Becky Martin said the
village is responsible for posting appropriate
signage. She acknowledged that detour signage
was needed. She noted that the Madi-
son County Sheriff’s Office has personnel on Corbin said the lodge will be sure to accommodate
the church crowd on Sunday as
site during the event.
“Every year, we do better and better with they did last year, adding that the haunted

BARKER
Debra Jean Barker “Deb” passed away peacefully in
her sleep on Sept. 6, 2022, in Mount Sterling, Ohio, at
the age of 62. Deb was born on Aug. 6, 1960, in Kalamazoo,
Mich. She was one of four siblings born to Robert
and Mary (Bebee) Jeffries and one of eight siblings
raised by Robert and Betty Jeffries.
Deb was known by everyone as a hard worker
throughout her life in both Allegan, Mich., and Ohio, and
was a life-long animal lover. Her most recent fur babies
were two kitties named Muffin and P.I.T.A, who she
adored. One of her favorite hobbies, needlework, proved
to be one of her greatest talents. She enjoyed crocheting,
knitting, and sewing for family and friends. She loved
making baby blankets and Christmas tree skirts, along
with different curtains for the different holiday seasons.
In the little free time she had, Deb liked reading novels,
enjoyed movies like “Steel Magnolias,” and more recently
had gotten “hooked” on the TV show
“Yellowstone.” She will always be remembered for her
love of watching “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
with her only grandson, Gus.
She was known to be “sassy” at times and wasn’t shy
about neither her dislike of raisins and maraschino
cherries nor her love for all things related to homemade
soups. Everyone who knew Deb always kept their holiday
ham bones in their freezer, waiting for Deb to beg
them for their ham bones so that she could make the
world’s best homemade soup stock for boiled dinner. The
irony is that Deb would make her famous soup and then
give it back to the family and friends who had saved
their ham bones. Even her son-in-law said she made the
best homemade soup stock and would always call her
for her special recipe.
Deb was passionate about 80s music and enjoyed
quirky, witty facts about 80s bands. She passed her love
for music on to her daughters and was known to quiz
them about tiny details which always ended in the three
of them breaking out in laughter.
Above all, Deb loved being a mother and grandmother.
Throughout her life, she demonstrated the ethics of hard
work, the value of life-long friendships, and the promise
of unconditional love for her family. She was generous,
giving, and kind to everyone she would meet.
Deb was preceded in death by: her biological mother;
father, Robert Jeffries; and siblings, Fred Jeffries and
Michael Jeffries. Deb is survived by: her mother, Betty
Jeffries; siblings, Patricia Lambes, Renee (Brad) Tyler,
Billy Joe (Basil) Kidwell, Rhonda (Phil) Madalinski,
Melodie (Jim) Davis; daughters, Crystal (Jason) Lung,
Julia Barker; grandson, Augustus Alan Lung; and former
spouse, Barry Barker.
A special thanks to Sammy Boyd who has been supportive
during this time of Deb’s passing. Also, thank
you to all of her friends and various co-workers in both
Michigan and Ohio who were always supportive, encouraging,
and reliable. Deb spent so much of her life
working that her co-workers became like family to her.
She especially enjoyed her time working at Mahle Behr
and Perrigo, Inc. and the relationships she had built
with her many colleagues.
As an expression of sympathy, memorials or donations
can be sent to Porter Tidd Funeral Home in care
of Crystal Lung and Julia Barker. Deb will be laid to
rest in Evergreen Cemetery in Bloomingdale, Mich.
Arrangements were handled by Porter-Tidd Funeral
Home, Mount Sterling. Please visit www.portertiddfuneralhome.com

PAGE 6 - MADISON MESSENGER - September 18, 2022
A parable for today:
“Tall timber stood here once, here on a corn belt farm along the
Monon. Here the roots of a half-mile of trees dug their runners deep in
the loam for a grip and a hold against windstorms. Then the axmen came
and the chips flew to the zing of steel and handle—the lank rail-splitters
cut the big ones first, the beeches and the oaks, then the brush. Dynamite,
wagons, and horses took the stumps—the plows sunk their teeth
in—now it is first class corn land—improved property—and the hogs
grunt over the fodder crops. It would come hard now for this half mile of

improved farmland along the
Monon corn belt, on a piece of
Grand Prairie, to remember once it
had a great singing family of trees.”
Those words were penned by
Carl Sandburg in 1922 in his
poem “Improved Farm Land.”
This was life at the turn of the 20th century. Forests
gave way to farm land as a growing nation continued to
push its boundaries into areas once populated with
mighty timbers.
Within a few short years, the dominance of rural
America was quickly usurped by the lure of city life and
industrial progress. Farm lands giving way to streets
and towns, trains rolling across the landscape, cars
belching out fumes and, in the air, birds on the precipice
of losing their supremacy.
Turn the clock ahead 100 years into the future–our
present–and borrowing liberally from Sandburg, albeit
with a few tweaks, this is today as I look out the living
room window of my Hamilton Township home: Improved
farm land stood here once, here where concrete
bunkers now house the trappings of 21st century life
along the Chesapeake and Ohio train track. Here the
roots of corn, wheat, and soybeans dug their runners
deep into the soil for a grip and hold against drought
and groundhogs. Then the developers came and the asphalt
poured hot in the summer like a black river of
tar–for the cars that brought the people to work in the
warehouses to satisfy the insatiable hunger of consumers
across the land. Concrete, asphalt, and trucks
covered the crops and made an early grave of farm land
that once fed the hungry. Exhaust now perfumes the air
where corn stocks stood board straight in military rows
leading to the horizon. It would come hard now for this
1,000-acre plot of concrete bunkers along the railroad,
on a piece of the Ohio heartland, to know it once held
the heart of family farms.
According to Ohio lore, at one time a squirrel could
hop from a tree at Lake Erie and never touch the ground
until it reached the Ohio River. This was the world first
pictured in Sandburg’s “Improved Farm Land.” While
the poet questions the improvement of land where trees
places
Linda Dillman
are uprooted and replaced with
fields of tilled soil, it still remains
within the natural world.
There is nothing natural
about warehouses, diesel
fumes, and high wattage lights
creating an artificial noon at
midnight.
This is our “Improved Farm
Land” where the trees are but a
memory and the sun kisses
pavement, not soil. This is our
legacy, our homage to the growing
need to feed a machine consuming
rural plots, parcels, and
acres in the name of bigger and
better cars, clothing, and technology.
Progress is inevitable and people need jobs, but how
many warehouses does it take before the Big Bang of
consumerism begins to implode on itself? Retail and
commercial arms continue to spiral outwards, but vacant
shells of stores and warehouses gather dust as economic
inertia changes with the times.
Do we really need more shopping centers and the
complexes that support them? When will we reach the
black hole of development where improved farm land
gets pulled into a vortex so strong, there is no more to
support what we really require?
Rural homes and family farms perched on the border
of big cities are aging dinosaurs as municipal boundaries
and borders swallow up land.
Whether through threats of eminent domain, aging
owners, or the lure of offers too lucrative to pass up,
houses are plowed under, like the crops that once covered
the terrain. Their existence masked by bulldozers
and plastic drainpipes resculpting the landscape as
workers in yellow jackets hoist signs stopping motorists
while massive earth movers crisscross the roadway.
Will our “improved farm land” be as sad a legacy as
Sandburg’s was to him? Time will tell.

Funds go to PC fire district
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Sept. 12
the first round of funding to be awarded to local first responders
as part of the new Ohio First Responder Recruitment,
Retention and Resilience Program.
A total of $1.67 million is being distributed to 26
agencies to help them support the wellness needs of law
enforcement officers, dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics,
and emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
Pleasant Valley Joint Fire District, which serves the
Plain City area, is among the agencies receiving firstround
funding. The fire district is receiving $45,050 for
a wellness and fitness initiative focused on medical examinations,
fitness, rehabilitation and behavioral
health.
“Our first responders face the daily challenge of providing
the highest level of response and care to Ohioans
during traumatic circumstances, having little to no time
to effectively process the stress brought on by these situations,”
DeWine said. “We created this grant program
to help our first responders take care of themselves so
that they can continue taking care of others."
The Ohio First Responder Recruitment, Retention,
and Resilience Program, administered by the Ohio
Emergency Management Agency, is offering a total of
approximately $75 million in funding for initiatives that
support wellness programs addressing the following:
mental, physical, and emotional health issues unique to
first responders; recruitment and retention efforts to restore
workforce levels; onboarding and training costs;
and explorer programs to engage young adults about
first responder careers.
Although this is the first round of funding to be
awarded to local first responder agencies as part of this
program, approximately $1.3 million was awarded to
several statewide service providers in June.
The program is funded as part of the $250 million in
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that
DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly dedicated to
first responders last year to help counter various pressing
issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, including
increased stress and decreased staffing levels.
DeWine also has placed enhanced focus on the wellness
of first responders through the creation of the Ohio
Office of First Responder Wellness within the Ohio Department
of Public Safety. The new statewide office focuses
exclusively on the well-being of first responders
and provides specialized support and training to help
emergency-response agencies proactively address posttraumatic
stress and other traumas caused by factors
that are unique to first-responder careers.

Farm Science Review marks 60th anniversary
The diamond anniversary of Farm Science
Review is on the horizon as the annual
farm show is set to celebrate 60 years of research,
advancement and education Sept.
20-22 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center,
135 State Rte. 38, near London.
“Farm Science Review is a critical component
of our land-grant mission to provide
research-based information and practical
education to the people of Ohio and beyond,”
said Cathann A. Kress, Ohio State’s vice
president for agricultural administration
and dean of the College of Food, Agricultural,
and Environmental Sciences
(CFAES). “We are proud to be the home of
the Farm Science Review, a robust show
demonstrating the college’s research, and
we look forward to carrying out our landgrant
mission through the show in its next
60 years.”
At the review grounds, more than 2,100
acres are dedicated to research, and 600 of
those acres are dedicated to field demonstrations
at the show. So, attendees can be
sure they will find something to learn more
about at the Farm Science Review. An opportunity
unique to Farm Science Review
from other national farm show experiences
is being able to witness corn and soybean
harvesting demonstrations each of the three
days of the show.
“For six decades, Farm Science Review
has offered a gathering place to showcase
products, services and education to the public
to improve profitability, sustainability
and excitement for future possibilities,” said
Nick Zachrich, Farm Science Review manager.
“As Farm Science Review reaches this
milestone for the 60th edition of bringing
the industry together, there is a lot of optimism
that the next 60 years will be full of
new practices and technology that could be
displayed at Farm Science Review this September,”
Zachrich added.
Livestock producers, row crop farmers
and avid gardeners will find a plethora of
educational opportunities at this year’s
show, including exhibits ranging from livestock
to electric tractors, tractor improvements
and educational sessions hosted by
Ohio State University Extension personnel.
“OSU Extension’s educational components
at the Farm Science Review make our
farm show different than others,” said Sam
Custer, interim assistant director for agriculture
and natural resources. “The focus on
education makes this a must-attend show.”
“This show also demonstrates the ability
of our Extension professionals to conduct research
and collaborate directly with producers
as well as suppliers to improve product
outputs, basic knowledge, and profits for
all,” added Jacqueline Kirby Wilkins, associate
dean and director, OSU Extension.
Tickets for the 2022 Farm Science Review
are available to purchase online and at
Extension offices and select agribusinesses
across Ohio and Indiana. More information
can be found at fsr.osu.edu.
Farm Science Review is hosted by the
College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental
Sciences at The Ohio State University.

Marketplace Pavilion highlights local producers
For the first time ever, Farm Science Review
will feature the Marketplace Pavilion,
a point-of-sale area dedicated to local producers
of agricultural goods.
“We see this as an opportunity to support
local farm economies,” said Nick Zachrich,
Farm Science Review manager. “It’s our
hope that the Marketplace Pavilion will
allow producers to not only market their
products to show visitors but also the many
local and regional grocery retailers in the
area.”
Direct marketing of produce and other
agricultural products continues to be an important
sales outlet for producers across the
state. Both individuals and retailers will be
able to source quality local products from
the Marketplace Pavilion exhibitors.
“We know that most of these producers
don’t have the same marketing budget as a
global equipment manufacturer, so the Marketplace
Pavilion will give them a dedicated
space at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center
to market their unique goods to our show
visitors,” said Zachrich.
Lacie Evans, small business owner of
Heifer Please Co., is looking forward to networking
and promoting her cattle and western
lifestyle-related products at the
Marketplace Pavilion.
“I was a 4-H and FFA kid, and I remember
my favorite thing was going to Farm Science
Review, even as a college student and
now as an adult,” Evans said. “My brand is
geared toward those in the agricultural community,
and I’m excited to give back to the
community I love so much.”
Producers interested in becoming Marketplace
Pavilion exhibitors at the 2022
Farm Science Review can contact Nick
Zachrich at zachrich.13@osu.edu or (614)

Farm Science Review is hosted by The

Avid supporters inducted into Hall of Fame
They say it takes a village, and The Ohio State University
Farm Science Review is no exception. This year, the
Review inducted three individuals who have been avid
supporters of the show in a multitude of capacities into its
Hall of Fame. Chuck Gamble, Bill Phillips and Bob
Zachrich were recognized as the 2022 honorees at a private
event on Aug. 17.
Chuck Gamble–DeGraff, Ohio
Chuck Gamble has a long-standing history with the
Review and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental
Sciences (CFAES) as a whole.
“I was a student employee for Farm Science Review,”
Gamble said.
After college graduation, Gamble spent three years as
an OSU Extension educator in Logan County before returning
to the Review in 1995 as the assistant manager.
“I started as assistant manager, and I was in that role for
nine years before spending 13 years as the manager of the
show.”
For Gamble, the highlight of his career was the 2008
show.
“Probably one of my favorites was the year Hurricane
Ike hit. That was when you saw agriculture come together,”
he said.
The effects of Hurricane Ike set in on Sunday, and by
Tuesday, Gamble said you could hardly tell any damage
had been done by a storm of that magnitude.
“We literally transformed from a disaster into a show,”
Gamble said. “I had exhibitor after exhibitor asking how
they could help, and I told them to check on their fellow
exhibitors.”
Gamble reminisces about the time he spent working
for the Review and attributes much of the show’s success
to those with whom he worked.
“It isn’t the manager. It takes major
teamwork between paid staff and volunteers
to pull that event off,” he said.
Gamble recently celebrated his retirement
after serving CFAES for a combined
32 years in various positions. He and his
wife, Diana, reside in DeGraff, Ohio.
Bill Phillips–Hilliard, Ohio
Bill Phillips is the chief relationship
officer for the Office of Technology and
Digital Innovation at The Ohio State University.
Phillips has been with the university
since 2006, and his work with the
Review began in 2010 with the mission of
bringing internet to the show.
According to Phillips, the initial challenge
and question to be answered was,
“How do you get internet out there?”
“Chuck [Gamble] and I lived through
the pain of many farm shows where this
stuff didn’t work,” he said.
Phillips is the man who “brought the
Farm Science Review into the 21st Century,”
according to fellow Hall of Fame inductee,
Chuck Gamble.
The feat of bringing internet to the
Molly Caren Agricultural Center and also
providing service to OSU Extension offices
across the state can be credited to
the hard work and efforts of Phillips.
He and his wife of 44 years, Cathy, reside
in Hilliard, Ohio.
Bob Zachrich–Defiance, Ohio
Bob Zachrich, owner of United Seed
Associates, has served in many capacities
at the Review throughout his 49 years as
an exhibitor at the show.
“I’ve been going to the Farm Science
Review since 1972,” Zachrich said. “It
would be my 50th year, except I missed
2020. It’s really something that we have
only missed one show in the last 50
This year’s Farm Science Review Hall of Fame inductees are: (from left)
Chuck Gamble, Bob Zachrich and Bill Phillips.
years.”
Zachrich said he doesn’t really
have a favorite show because each
one has something to look forward
to.
“There is something different
and unusual every year, and that is
what I always look forward to,” he
said.
As a business owner, Zachrich
generously donated seed for years
to the show for the field demonstrations
and has been a large promoter
of the show to his customers. The
family business is supported by
Zachrich’s wife, Connie, and, at
times, his five children, 11 grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren.
The Review has served as a
great opportunity to gather dealers
and family for Zachrich over the
years, through plot work, field days
and other show support. His involvement
with the annual event
continues to this day.
Gamble, Phillips and Zachrich
have exemplified the attributes necessary
to grow the Review into the
world class farm show it is today.
Each honoree said that people and
hard work are what make the show
such a special experience and community
in which to be involved.

Review visitors get to see exhibitors in action
The Farm Science Review field demonstrations,
an attraction visitors flock to
watch each year, will feature the traditional
harvest demonstrations, as well as
new technology ready to make its debut at
the 2022 show.
“We are excited to provide visitors the
opportunity to see innovative, new technology
in action at this year’s show, which is
only fitting for the 60th anniversary of the
Farm Science Review,” said Nick Zachrich,
Farm Science Review manager. “We have
a diverse portfolio of exhibitors this year in
the ag technology space that visitors won’t
want to miss.”
Companies joining the field demonstrations
line-up this year include RYSE Aero
Tech and Agri Spray Drones.
RYSE Aero Tech is the manufacturer of
an ultralight electric vertical take off and
landing (eVTOL) vehicle, the RYSE
RECON. This vehicle will enable farmers
to have a bird’s eye view when crop scouting
their fields, eliminate compaction to
the soil while scouting, and get them from
point A to Point B more quickly.
RYSE Aero Tech’s initial goal was to,
“bring flight to people with a purpose,” according
to RYSE Aero Tech CEO, Mick
Kowitz.
“We wanted to serve a market with a
need for an application like this where people
can use it in difficult terrain to be able
to scout crops or travel places and save
them time doing it,” he said.
Agri Spray Drones, the only company to
operate heavy drones as part of custom application
services, will be bringing its technology
to the Farm Science Review
demonstrations, as well. Visitors will get
to see drones capable of applying liquid or
granular products in action.
In addition to these new additions to
the field demo line-up, the traditional harvest
demonstrations will run every day of
the show:
Trotter Field Demonstrations
Tuesday-Thursday
12:30 p.m.—Tillage, strip-till, nutrient
application tillage, and ag innovations
1:30 p.m.—Harvesting of corn immediately
followed by soybeans
All Day—OLICA field drainage installation
Another exhibitor-favorite feature of
Farm Science Review is the Ride & Drive
area where Can-Am will offer test-driving
opportunities featuring its utility vehicles
designed for any farm terrain. Visitors will
have the opportunity to get inside the latest
models and drive through a test track.
(AT RIGHT) RYSE Aero Tech will showcase
its ultralight electric vertical take off
and landing vehicle during field demonstrations
at the Farm Science Review.
Agri Spray Drones will showcase their heavy drones during field demonstrations at the
Farm Science Review. The drones are capable of applying liquid and granular products.

Estimated Cost of Project: $4,175,300
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Madison County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment.
Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental
Review Record (ERR) which is available for review on the Madison County website at
https://www.co.madison.oh.us. The ERR may also be provided upon request electronically via email.
Please submit your request by U.S. mail to the Madison County Commissioners, 1 North Main Street,
London, OH, 43140 or by email to commissioners@madison.oh.gov.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Madison County
Commissioners by U.S. mail or email at the addresses above. All comments received before October
4, 2022, will be considered by Madison County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release
of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
Madison County certifies to the State of Ohio that Chris Wallace in his capacity as Chairman of the
Madison County Commissioners, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action
is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that
these responsibilities have been satisfied. The State of Ohio’s approval of the certification satisfies
its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Madison County to use
Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
The State of Ohio will accept objections to its release of funds and Madison County’s certification
for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request
(whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not
executed by the Certifying Officer of the Madison County Commissioners; (b) Madison County has
omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part
58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds,
incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release
of funds by the State of Ohio; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504
has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental
quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures
(24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Ohio Department of Development,
Office of Community Development at OCD@development.ohio.gov. Potential objectors should
contact the State of Ohio to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

JOURNAL ENTRY
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Request for Certificate of

to schedule the matter for hearing.

on October 13, 2022 at 2:30 P.M. at the Probate Court 1 N. Main Street,
