Haunted House 

doubles in size 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

More than double the frightful fun awaits those who visit “The 

Misfit Haunt,” Mount Sterling’s haunted house. 

For the third straight year, Masonic Lodge 269, 54 N. London 

St., is hosting a Halloween-themed extravaganza. The star attraction 

is the transformed lodge, but plenty of other entertainment is 

planned, too, including children’s games, a costume contest, music, 

dancing, and food. 

Haunted house hours are 6-11 p.m. Oct. 28-29 and 2-4 p.m. Oct. 

30. Admission is free; donations are accepted. This year, the lodge 

welcomes sponsorship and on-site support from the Mount Sterling 

Chamber of Commerce and Carnage Haunt of Columbus. 

According to Tom Corbin, a member of Lodge 269 and one of the 

event organizers, Mount Sterling’s haunted house is making a name 

for itself around the state, landing on multiple lists of haunted attractions. 

This year alone, the Mount Sterling listing has garnered 

40,000 hits on one of those statewide sites. Corbin said one of the 

features that makes Mount Sterling’s offering stand out is the free 

admission. 

“We do it to give back to the village and surrounding area,” he 

said, adding that the goal is to expand the haunted house into a 

Halloween festival spanning more days and including more activities. 

Expansion has already started this year in the form of new 

spaces to explore in the haunted house. Participants will enter 

through the front of the lodge, navigate 

through a maze of hallways and rooms featuring 

a zombie-infested swamp, creepy 

dolls, a butcher shop, and more. Then, they 

will make their way outside to a cemetery,

chainsaws, more zombies, and “all kinds of 

special stuff,” Corbin explained. 

That’s where the fun ended the past two 

years. Not this year. After surviving the 

cemetery, participants will go back inside to 

a different part of the building with more 

scare-filled rooms. 

“Also new this year are lasers, a lot of 

sound synthesizers, and at least three 

smoke areas that we didn’t have last year,” 

Corbin said. 

With the expansion, the haunt requires 

more volunteer actors—36 at any given time 

as compared to 21 last year. Organizers welcome 

anyone who would like to help out, 

whether in acting roles, makeup, crowd control, 

or concessions. 

Speaking of concessions, food options include 

kettle corn, hamburgers, hotdogs, 

chips, soda, wassail, and possibly bean soup. 

There is a charge for concessions. 

The food, a deejay, children’s games, and 

cornhole will be located outside in front of 

the lodge. A bounce house is planned if the 

weather cooperates.

Having a great time in the straw bed are Plain City residents Arthur Lewis and his younger sister, Annie. 

Overseeing the fun was Cory DiCarro of Hilliard, who said it took children “quite a while” to warm up to the 

potential of the straw bed. “They would stand there at first, unsure of it, but soon it became like WrestleMania 

where they would jump off the bales and into the bed,” he said. 

Living it up at 

Shekinah fest 

Shekinah Christian School in Plain City hosted its 

first Fall Celebration for the community on Oct. 15. 

“I am so glad we were able to offer something for 

the entire community to enjoy,” said Amber Purdy, 

the school’s advancement director. 

After completing the 60-foot long inflated obstacle 

course, Hope Hirchak, 7, gets ready to 

race to the beginning to do it all over again. 

Sarah Simmons and her son, Patrick, put the finishing 

touches on their pumpkin at the pumpkin decoration station.

DD Board seeks renewal of 1-mill operating levy 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

The Madison County Board of Developmental 

Disabilities (MCBDD) is seeking renewal 

of a 1-mill, five-year property tax levy 

for operation and maintenance of programs 

for people with disabilities. 

The levy generates approximately 

$924,000 per year and represents about onethird 

of MCBDD’s local tax revenue. The 

cost to the taxpayer is $20.21 per year per 

$100,000 property valuation. If the levy is 

renewed, the cost will remain the same. 

“Our system is unique compared to a lot 

of other (social service) systems. We serve 

individuals from the day they are born to 

the day they pass away. We serve them 

their entire lives,” said Susan Thompson, 

MCBDD superintendent. 

Those services include: 

• Service Coordination—Staff members 

help individuals and their teams to develop 

a plan that allows the individuals to live according 

to their needs and wishes. MCBDD 

staffers serve as the main point of contact 

and coordination between the person receiving 

services and the entities providing services 

and supports. 

• Early Intervention: Staff works with parents 

of infants and toddlers with disabilities 

to enhance children’s learning through a collaborative, 

home- and community-based 

system. 

• Preschool: Fairhaven School serves 

nearly 200 students ages 3 to 5 years old. 

• Transition: MCBDD collaborates with 

local school districts and the Educational 

Service Center to help individuals with disabilities 

who are ages 14-22 with the transition 

out of school. Services include career 

exploration, job training, and more. 

“You really need skills to be successful 

with that transition,” Thompson said. “Our 

staff does a fantastic job working with that 

age group.” 

• Community Employment: MCBDD helps 

individuals with disabilities to find meaningful, 

fulfilling employment that meets 

their needs and desires. 

“So many of our folks are working, paying 

taxes, and giving back to our community,” 

Thompson said. “It is such a valuable 

thing to the individuals we serve, to be out 

in the community and standing side by side 

with you and I as we do our jobs.” 

• Health Service Coordination: Staff members 

help individuals with information 

about medication, medical providers, and 

possible interventions for existing conditions, 

as well as health education and training 

for individuals, parents and staff. 

• Advocacy: MCBDD sponsors the Tiger 

Advocacy Group, a group of adults with a 

wide range of abilities who meet monthly to 

empower and support one another. 

“They are doing amazing things,” Thompson 

said of the group. 

• Transportation: This service is open to 

individuals with disabilities, local agencies, 

and all Madison County residents. 

MCBDD’s vehicles transport passengers to 

and from many different locations depending 

on their needs. Most of the vehicles are 

wheelchair accessible. Drivers are First Aid 

and CPR certified. 

• Special Olympics/Recreation: The Madison 

County Tigers participate in a variety of 

sports. Recreation services also include activities 

like day and weekend trips, movies, 

crafts, festivals and museums. 

• Residential Support: Staff works directly 

with individuals to make sure they have 

what they need to live in the community in a 

way that promotes their health and welfare. 

The Chamber of Commerce is hosting a 

costume contest for all ages on Oct. 30. The 

children’s category is set for 2:30 p.m. followed 

by the adult category at 3 p.m. Prizes 

will go to the winners. 

The haunted house is open to all ages. 

Corbin noted that staff stationed at the start 

and finish of the haunt will tell the actors to 

go easy on any group that requests a tamer 

version of the experience. New this year, organizers 

will hand out glow sticks to children 

who do not want to be scared by actors 

as they walk through. 

For more information or to volunteer, 

contact Tom Corbin at (614) 530-3132. 

• Adult Day Programming: Services include 

help with daily living skills and activities, 

personal care, vocational support, and 

community-based employment support. 

• Non-Medical Transportation: This service 

provides transportation to day services, employment 

services, or places of employment. 

Thompson said MCBDD has enjoyed ongoing 

support from the community for this 

wide range of services. 

“We truly appreciate every voter in Madison 

County. We could not do what we do and 

take care of the people we serve if the community 

wasn’t so supportive of us,” she said. 

Thompson praised the MCBDD staff for 

doing good work. 

“My firm belief is that we pass a levy 

every day by the quality of services we provide. 

If you take care of people and provide 

good service, the taxpayers will support 

you,” she said. 

Hospital plans Lights of Love 

Loved ones will be celebrated during the 

holiday season, Nov. 15-Dec. 3, with Madison 

Health Auxiliary’s Lights of Love. The 

opportunity to recognize loved ones continues 

with several donation options. 

Outdoor evergreen trees, located in the 

hospital’s main entrance driveway, will be 

strung with holiday white lights. Pillar candles, 

available in three different sizes, will 

light the hospital’s new concourse and lobby 

each evening. A large tree full of individual 

lights will decorate the main lobby through 

the holiday season. All of these donation options 

may be reserved in the name of a loved 

one, and signage can be viewed from the 

windows both inside and outside the main 

entrance of Madison Health. Tribute opportunities 

for loved ones may be reserved all 

season long. 

“Lights of Love is a wonderful opportu- 

HAUNTED 

Continued from page 1 

nity to both honor and celebrate loved ones 

during the holidays while supporting the 

hospital and the Madison Health Auxiliary,” 

said Ginger Kronk, executive director of the 

Madison Health Foundation. “The outpouring 

of support for this event is always humbling, 

and we are thankful for the 

generosity of our donors.” 

As thanks is given for family and friends 

during the holiday season, Madison Health 

invites the public to attend the tree and candle 

lighting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15 

at the hospital’s main entrance. Following 

the ceremony, the hospital is hosting a family-friendly 

Season Spectacular which includes 

Santa, trolley rides, shopping, music 

by local youth choirs, and more.

Mount Sterling Masonic Lodge 269 is calling 

its annual haunted house the “Misfit Haunt.” 

Organizers will be wearing t-shirts with the 

new logo. Shirts will be raffled off to the public 

on Friday and Saturday of this year’s 

haunted house weekend. Tickets are $1.

Tolles working toward master facilities plan 

Tolles Career & Technical Center in 

Plain City has selected the architecture, interiors 

and engineering firm Fanning 

Howey to develop a master facilities plan. 

The Tolles school board approved Fanning 

Howey’s contract at its Sept. 15 meeting. 

“We at Tolles are excited to begin this 

master planning process on our 1974 facility,” 

said Todd Hoadley, Ph.D., Tolles 

CEO/superintendent. “After visiting several 

schools over the summer, we are confident 

that the professionals at Fanning Howey 

are uniquely qualified to guide us through 

this important undertaking. 

“It is our mission at Tolles to provide our 

students with a world-class career and technical 

education. Ensuring that our careertech 

learning labs are up to date and mirror 

the workplace of local industry is vital to the 

achievement of our mission.” 

As part of the master plan, Fanning 

Howey will evaluate how the existing building 

must change to meet the future needs of 

career-technical training in central Ohio. 

The firm will use educational visioning, facilities 

assessments and stakeholder engagement 

sessions to develop multiple 

master plan options. These options will result 

in a final master plan recommendation 

that will be made to the school board. 

“Career and technical education is the 

lifeblood of the local economy,” says Fanning 

Howey project executive Jenn Fuller, AIA. 

“We look forward to working with educators 

and business leaders to develop facility solutions 

that will lead to a strong local workforce 

for decades to come.” 

Fanning Howey was the architect for the 

award-winning Tri Star Career Compact in 

Celina, Ohio. The firm has also worked with 

Vanguard Technology Center, Sentinel 

Technology Center, Collins Career Center 

and Delaware Area Career Center. Fanning 

Howey’s Columbus-area clients include 

Hilliard City Schools and Olentangy Local 

Schools. 

Master planning efforts began at the end 

of September 2022. 

In Ireland 

Members of the Madison County Senior 

Center took a nine-day trip to Ireland in 

September. A total of 38 people traveled 

with the group, visiting Guinness Brewery, 

Waterford Crystal, St. Patrick 

Cathedral, Blarney Castle, the Ring of 

Kerry, Trinity College to see the Book of 

Kells, and more. They also traveled to 

the Cliffs of Moher, but it was too rainy 

and foggy to see the cliffs; otherwise, 

by all accounts, the trip was a wonderful 

adventure. The motorcoach driver 

and tour guide taught the group Irish 

folk songs while driving through the 

countryside and answered many questions 

about Ireland throughout the trip.

Helping farmers deal 

with stress on the job 

With Madison County being a rural 

community, most of us probably know at 

least one farmer. Weather challenges, current 

input prices and supply chain issues 

have stress levels running high on many 

farms. While we all deal with stress fairly 

regularly, difficult times in farming can 

cause an excessive amount of stress that 

is hard for someone to process. 

Most farms are family businesses that 

have their own stressors, such as being 

able to provide for one’s family and keeping 

a farm that has been in the family for 

several generations afloat. Also, many factors 

that affect farms are ones over which 

farmers have no control. I mentioned 

weather and commodity prices, which are 

the big ones, but farmers also deal with 

disease and pest issues, working with 

family, consumer perceptions, machinery 

breakdown and so on. 

The following warning signs may indicate 

that a loved one is experiencing an 

undue amount of stress. Being able to assess 

the situation accurately may help 

prevent a more serious situation. Jinnifer 

Ortquist with Michigan State University 

Extension outlines the warning signs of 

stress in “How to Talk with Farmers 

Under Stress,” available at MSU’s Managing 

Farm Stress website. 

1. Look for changes in emotions such as 

a decrease in energy or show of enthusiasm 

for the future, depression or loss of 

humor. 

2. Changes in attitudes or cognitive 

skills—such as frustration over small 

things or having trouble making decisions—could 

indicate high stress levels. 

3. Changes in behavior that indicate an 

issue might show up in missed meetings 

with coworkers, friends or businesses, difficulty 

sleeping or becoming quieter than 

usual. 

4. All of these can culminate into 

changes on the farm through a lack of care 

for animals or crops, themselves or carelessness 

in general. 

What can you do to help? Being there 

to listen, and I mean really listen, can go 

a long way in helping the person deal with 

and process what they are going through. 

Ortquist suggests using the following 

questions and statements while listening: 

• I hear you saying ____ (repeat back 

the main concerns the farmer is expressing). 

• This sounds like a lot to manage. 

How are you coping with this? (or, What 

are you doing to take care of yourself?) 

• It sounds like the current situation is 

guest column 

By Amanda Douridas 

very difficult. What can I do to support 

you? 

• These are some tough challenges. 

How can I help? 

• Would it be helpful if we work together 

on an action plan for how to manage 

your concerns? 

• Every situation is different. In a similar 

situation on another farm, they tried 

____. What do you think about that? 

• Are there other people who have been 

helpful or supportive when times have 

been tough in the past? Are any of those 

people able to help now? 

Ortquist also recommends showing empathy 

rather than sympathy. The difference 

here is, when practicing empathy, 

you make an effort to understand what 

the person is going through and then talk 

to them about ideas that may help them 

work through their feelings or the situation. 

For farmers, this could be helping 

them come up with a long-term plan to 

keep the farm in working order or recommending 

someone who can help with this 

goal. This may be another farmer who has 

been through a similar situation, financial 

advisors, or the Extension Office. 

If conflict arises, remain calm and continue 

to listen. Avoid placing blame on 

anyone. Talk about what you are trying to 

achieve and repeat statements back to the 

farmer to ensure you understand what 

they are saying. 

Lastly, always follow up with the 

farmer after your conversation and continue 

to check in and listen. If you believe 

the person is in eminent danger, directly 

ask them if they have had thoughts of suicide. 

This is uncomfortable but better than 

the alternative. Call 911 and get help from 

family and friends.

Rotary Student of the Month: London 

Determined, funny, 

and genuinely nice

pleased to honor senior Joseph 

Osborn as London High 

School’s October Student of the

Woodson said, “Joe is a genuinely 

nice young man. His 

humor and personality combined 

with his determination 

and work ethic make him a joy

Tax Aide looking 

for volunteers 

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, which suspended 

operations in Madison County more 

than two years ago as the COVID-19 pandemic 

worsened, is preparing to return this 

winter and is looking for volunteers to help 

restart the service. 

The all-volunteer program provides free, 

no-strings-attached income tax preparation 

to anyone, but places emphasis on serving 

senior citizens. Before the shutdown, Tax- 

Aide volunteers working at the Madison 

County Emergency Management Agency 

prepared tax returns for about 350 London 

area residents each year. 

Volunteers make sure clients receive 

every tax benefit to which they are entitled 

and often save them a significant amount of 

money. 

Volunteers come from all walks of life. No 

experience is required. Tax-Aide provides 

training, a computer to work on, and mentorship 

throughout the tax season. For more 

information, go to aarpfoundation.org/taxaidevolunteer

ADVISORY 

The National Trade Association 

we belong to has 

purchased the following 

classifieds. Determining 

the value of their service 

or product is advised by 

this publication. In order 

to avoid misunderstandings, 

some advertisers do 

not offer “employment” 

but rather supply the 

readers with manuals, directories 

and other materials 

designed to help 

their clients establish mail 

order selling and other 

businesses at home. Under 

NO circumstance 

should you send any 

money in advance or give 

the client your checking, 

license ID or credit card 

numbers. Also beware of 

ads that claim to guarantee 

loans regardless of 

credit and note that if a 

credit repair company 

does business only over 

the phone it’s illegal to request 

any money before 

delivering its service. All 

funds are based in US 

dollars. Toll Free numbers 

may or may not 

reach Canada. Please
