Grants will cover 

water tower cost 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Mount Sterling has secured the last piece of funding needed to 

replace its 100-year-old water tower at no cost to the village. 

On Jan. 30, Andy Drake, village council president pro tem, announced 

that the Ohio Public Works Commission recently awarded 

Mount Sterling a $440,000 grant to go toward the cost of building 

a new water tower. 

As of last spring, the estimated project cost was $1.37 million. 

Village leaders were determined to fund the project with little to no 

debt, so they went after grants and other outside funding sources. 

The result: Mount Sterling will pay nothing out-of-pocket for the 

new water tower. 

“This is really, really great news,” Drake said. “It says a lot about 

how far Mt. Sterling has come, and maybe says a little bit about we 

have a ways to go. But it is, without a doubt, a vote of confidence in 

us, that this village is looking up and we can get things done.” 

Last year, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a grant 

to cover 75 percent of the water tower project which amounts to approximately 

$1 million. The village also set aside $187,000 in American 

Rescue Plan Act money they received as part of federal 

COVID-19 relief funds. The $440,000 from Ohio Public Works takes 

the funding total over the $1.37 million project estimate. 

Drake praised Courtney Bricker, village clerk, for her work on 

tracking down and applying for the grants. He said it was not a simple 

task. He also praised village leaders and staff for getting the 

village’s finances in order, setting a “common sense” budget, setting 

aside the COVID-19 relief money, and pursuing 

“free” money in the form of grants. 

With funding in place, the next phase of 

the water tower project is engineering and

design. The village also will find out if or 

how inflation has impacted project costs. 

Overall, the project will take two to three 

years to complete, Drake said. 

Housing growth 

In other discussion at the Jan. 30 council 

meeting, Drake reported that Mount Sterling 

ranks ninth for housing growth among 

central Ohio villages, as reported in Columbus 

Business First. Last year, Mount Sterling 

ranked 13th. 

“We are moving up the list, not going 

down the list. This is a thing that we should 

be proud of,” he said. “We are setting the example 

for larger cities, not just villages, as 

to what it means to do affordable housing 

and to get people in here. 

“This means that more people are selecting 

Mount Sterling as a place to call home, 

raise a family, put down roots.” 

Mount Sterling offers a great climate in 

which to do business, too, Drake added. 

“To comment on one thing the mayor 

(Marci Darlington) has been saying quite a 

bit: Come watch us grow. Come see us grow. 

We are open for business,” he said.

Demolition began Jan. 31 on the former school building and gym that served for many years as London’s Community 

Center and the hub of the city’s indoor youth sports programs. Once those structures, plus the old boiler 

room, are completely demolished, crews from Excavating of Ohio will separate the debris by material, remove 

the debris, and backfill the site. Mayor Patrick Closser said the work should be complete by sometime in April.

London, bringing down the roof and walls. The city will be setting aside some of the building’s bricks for 

residents to take as keepsakes. Information about when and where the bricks will be available will be posted 

to the city’s website and social media pages.

An 8.7 percent increase is being applied to Mount Sterling residents’ 

water and sewer bills this year. 

This follows legislation that was set in 2021 and became effective in 

2022. The legislation calls for an automatic 5 percent increase to water 

and sewer fees each year unless the cost of living is higher than 5 percent, 

in which case the increase matches the cost of living increase. 

Tom Byrne, village administrator, announced the rate hike at 

the Jan. 30 council meeting, saying residents would see the increase 

starting with this month’s bills. 

“This means the average (monthly) bill will go up $2.97. All increases 

are based on usage only,” he said. 

Council member Becky Martin noted the 

increase does not apply to the debt service 

fee which is a fixed rate. 

Leak detection 

Byrne reported the village plans to apply 

for an Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) grant to purchase a listening device 

to pinpoint water line leaks. 

“This device would give us a better idea 

of where we’ve got to dig, so we’re not digging 

up the entire street to find one little 

break,” he said. 

The EPA grant would cover costs up to 

$10,000. The value 

of the device Mount 

Sterling seeks is 

$6,300. The grant 

does not require 

matching funds 

from the village, but 

it is a competitive 

grant, so funding is 

not guaranteed. 

“This is important equipment because it helps with one of the 

village’s EPA violations—water loss,” said Andy Drake, council president 

pro tem. “We’re trying to get that under control. We started 

with fire hydrants, then leaky valves, then pipes that are leaking 

actively underground.” 

Currently, the village calls the Ohio Rural Water Association for 

help with leak detection. The village pays a small yearly fee to be a 

member of the association which provides the service at no charge. 

With its own leak detection equipment, the village could tend to 

leak issues immediately, Byrne said, rather than waiting for an appointment 

with the association. 

Committee assignments 

Council approved the following council committee assignments 

for 2023: 

• Finance—Andy Drake (chair), Joyce Phillips, and David Timmons; 

• Liaison to the Pleasant Township trustees—Timmons (chair); 

• Liaison to the Tri County Joint Fire District—Bill Tilley (chair); 

• Liaison to the Sterling Joint Ambulance District—Rob Longcoy; 

• Safety—Tilley (chair), Longcoy, and Timmons; 

• Water/wastewater—Phillips (chair), Drake, and Tilley; 

• Streets—Longcoy (chair), Timmons, and Becky Martin; 

• Tree City USA—Martin (chair); 

• Parks and recreation—Martin (chair), Tilley, and Longcoy; 

• Planning—Drake (chair); 

• Zoning—Phillips (chair); and 

• Records retention—Drake (chair). 

Council will address possible changes in the structure of the nuisance 

and abatement committee. Phillips is set to serve as chair. 

Council needs to decide how many other people will serve on the 

committee and, of those, how many will be council members and 

how many will be residents. 

Council’s next regular meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 13 

in council chambers at town hall.

Enjoying sanctioned status 

Madison-Plains 

excited about future 

of girls’ wrestling 



For the past several years, more and 

more girls have been taking up wrestling, 

finding spots on boys’ teams. This year, 

girls’ wrestling is enjoying its first year as 

a sport sanctioned by the Ohio High School 

Athletic Association (OHSAA), and Eric Mc- 

Donald Jr., first-year head coach of Madison-Plains 

High School’s girls wrestling 

team, is excited. 

“They get an OHSAA state championship 

like the boys’ team does and like any 

other official sport does. They have their 

own schedule and their own tournaments, 

so they don’t have to match up with boys if 

they don’t want to. There are girls-only 

tournaments all over the state,” he said. 

McDonald is pumped to be involved with 

new growth in a sport he loves. He wrestled 

at Reynoldsburg High School, his alma 

mater, and now coaches alongside one of his 

Reynoldsburg teammates, Madison-Plains 

boys’ wrestling head coach Jordan Kramer. 

He still competes in wrestling, along with 

jiu-jitsu, judo, and mixed martial arts, 

something he also did while serving in the 

U.S. Navy. 

“Athletics is a big thing for me. Fitness, 

sports, lessons of digging deep, finding a 

better version of yourself... you learn you 

have the ability to do it, and that translates 

to life,” McDonald said. 

He’s sharing that enthusiasm with his 

small but committed team: junior Payne 

Haverfield, a first-year wrestler competing 

in the 155-pound class; sophomore Kyleigh 

Elfrink, a returning wrestler, in the 110- 

pound class; and freshman Tara Nagel, a 

first-year wrestler competing at 235 

pounds. Senior Emma Rife started the season 

but was sidelined with a shoulder injury. 

Nagel is loving her new sport. She splits 

her time between powerlifting and wrestling, 

hitting powerlifting tournaments on the 

weekends when she doesn’t have wrestling. 

She said her brother, junior Trevor Hardin, 

also a powerlifter and a first-year wrestler, 

nudged her to give wrestling a try. 

“I’m into muscle sports, and I just felt 

wrestling was something I would like to 

try,” she said. 

When she took first place in her very 

first meet this season, Trevor was right 

there jumping up and down, cheering her 

on. 

Nagel said she appreciates that sibling 

support, along with the bonds she has made 

with her teammates and coach. 

“Our team jokes a lot, but we also take it 

See GIRLS’ WRESTLING page 5 

Madison-Plains’ girls’ wrestling head coach Eric McDonald Jr. and 

his team know how to have fun and be serious about their sport, 

all at the same time. 

Junior Payne Haverfield has the upper hand in one of her first 

meets as a member of the Madison-Plains’ girls’ wrestling team.

super serious. It’s something I love being part of because they are 

always there for me, and I am there for them,” she said. 

Though she’s only a sophomore, Elfrink entered this season with 

several years of experience. She started wrestling through the 

Golden Eagle Youth Sports Association, then joined the Madison- 

Plains Junior High team, and has continued wrestling at the high 

school level. 

“It helps with my mental health, helps with keeping me in shape, 

and it just helps me get out anger and frustration through the day 

and through the week,” she said about why she likes the sport. 

She said OHSAA’s sanctioning of girls’ wrestling means more opportunities 

for competitive experiences at the high school level, 

something she hopes sets the foundation for competitive opportunities 

after graduation. 

“My plan is to get into college wrestling,” she said. 

McDonald said Haverfield is making the most of her first year 

as a wrestler. Early on, she placed second in her division at the 

Heart of Ohio wrestling tournament in Mechanicsburg. 

All of the girls are making great strides, McDonald said. They 

had to climb a learning curve early in the season, but with each 

meet, have showed improvement. By mid-season, they were starting 

to turn a corner, he said. 

“They’ve been matching better with girls with more experience. 

Kyleigh Elfrink, a sophomore on Madison-Plains’ girls’ wrestling 

team, competes at a meet earlier this season. After recovering 

from a concussion and a sprained shoulder, she returned to the 

mat Jan. 22 and looks forward to post-season competition.

Over time, we will be able to match up with 

some of these top-level schools,” he predicted. 

A month from now, they will have their 

first chance to qualify for an OHSAA-sanctioned 

state tournament. Post-season opportunities 

for girls’ high school wrestling start 

with regionals which determines state qualifiers. 

Four regional tournaments are slated 

for March 5. Hosts include Harrison, 

Marysville, Mentor, and Olentangy Orange. 

The girls’ state tournament will take place 

alongside the boys’ state tournament March 

10-12 at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. 

Freshman Tara Nagel is already racking up

Widespread use of fertilizers and herbicides have replaced

awareness of environmental and ecological concerns. 

Universities and private researchers have studies under way 

to quantify the benefits provided from cover crops on agricultural 

lands and to show their abilities to supplement or replace 

purchased inputs. 

A cover crop is a plant that is used primarily to slow erosion, 

improve soil health, enhance water availability, smother 

weeds, help 

control pests 

and diseases, 

increase biodiversity, 

and 

bring a host of 

other benefits 

to your farm. It 

is not intended to be harvested for feed or sale. Selection of a 

cover crop depends on when it can be planted and the goal for 

its uses. Legume cover crops fix atmospheric nitrogen into a 

form plants and microorganisms can use. Non-legume species 

recycle existing soil nitrogen and other nutrients and can reduce 

leaching losses. 

Other benefits to planting cover crops are: 

Soil quality improvements–Soil tilth is improved whenever 

a plant establishes roots and grows into compacted areas. 

Water infiltration is improved, as well. When a field lays fallow 

for a period, the surface tends to seal, and water will run 

off. Cover crops protect the soil surface and reduce sealing. 

Also, beneficial organisms in the soil, such as earthworms, 

thrive when fresh plant material is decomposing. Organic matter 

levels tend to improve with the addition of cover crops. 

Erosion control–Cover crops reduce wind and water erosion 

on all types of soils. By having the soil held in place by 

cover crops during the fall, winter, and early spring, loss of soil 

from erosion is greatly reduced. Reducing soil loss helps keep 

the local creeks and ditches from turning muddy. 

Fertility improvements–Legumes can add substantial 

amounts of available nitrogen to the soil. Non-legumes can be 

used to take up excess nitrogen from previous crops and recycle 

the nitrogen, as well as available phosphorus and potassium, 

to the following crop. Cover crops can also be used to 

reduce leaching of nutrients after a manure application. 

Suppress weeds–A dense stand of winter rye or other 

cover crop can suppress weeds by soil shading. Allelochemicals 

from cover crops suppress the growth of other plants. 

Insect control–Beneficial insects, such as lady beetles or 

ground beetles, may be encouraged by planting cover crops. 

Planting cover crops is not just for the large farming operation. 

Your backyard garden can also greatly benefit from the 

planting of cover crops. After the garden has been harvested, 

cover crops—typically planted as seeds—protect the soil from 

erosion and prevent nutrient runoff during the winter. The 

placeholder crops then become organic material for the garden 

in the spring. Having plants in the garden year-round also 

helps keep weeds at bay. Annuals are considered the best cover 

crops, because gardeners won’t have to kill them before their 

spring planting. Annuals can be tilled right into the soil, improving 

its make-up. 

If you are interested in planting cover crops or implementing 

other conservation practices on your land, contact the

Center at (740) 852-4003 or visit madisonsoilandwater.com.

More than 50 high school students took part in a conservation career day hosted by the Madison Soil and 

Water Conservation District on Jan. 20. 

Intro to conservation careers 

The Madison Soil and Water Conservation District 

(SWCD) hosted a Conservation Career Day at the 

Gwynne Conservation Area, part of the Molly Caren 

Agriculture Center in London, on Jan. 20. More than 50 

students from across the county, including Tolles Career 

and Technical Center and London High School, 

gathered to hear presentations about job opportunities 

in the field of conservation. 

Speakers presented on behalf of the Molly Caren 

Agricultural Center, Natural Resources Conservation 

Service, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources 

Division of Forestry, Wildlife, and Natural Areas & Preserves. 

Students learned about career opportunities and 

the steps required to pursue careers in conservation and 

emerging fields in the agricultural job sector. 

“We plan to hold the event next year and were very 

pleased with the turnout and interest in conservation 

careers,” said Broc Sehen, SWCD wildlife specialist. 

“We also encourage any interested students or teachers 

in the area to join our newsletter mailing list to stay informed 

on local conservation events and educational opportunities.” 

The mission of SWCD is to enhance and sustain the 

soil, water, and related natural resources of Madison 

County through partnerships with others to provide research-based 

educational programs, technical assistance, 

and funding to promote a clean local 

environment. 

Information about SWCD’s services, conservation efforts, 

and events is available at www.madisonsoilandwater.com.

South Charleston 


Village’s new website: Streamlined, mobile-friendly 



The village of South Charleston has a new streamlined, mobilefriendly 

website that makes information easy to find. 

The site went live at the start of this year and can be found at 

http://villageofsouthcharleston.org. The previous site 

had a .net domain name. It will remain active for a 

couple of months with a link to the new site before 

the village closes it down. 

Part of the streamlining process involved cleaning 

house. 

“We eliminated a lot of old information. We kept 

all the important stuff,” said village clerk Jessica 

Hiser, who headed up the website overhaul. 

Reorganization also was part of the streamlining 

process. 

“We have more tabs that are more direct about the information 

they have. It makes it easier to find what you’re looking for,” Hiser 

said. 

For example, details about village job opportunities were in a 

“random spot” on the old website, Hiser said. Now, they’re easy to 

find. Look for “Employment” in the dropdown menu under “More” 

on the home page.

“I really think the 

website is a lot nicer to 

zoom around and find 

the information you’re 

looking for.” 

–Jessica Hiser, South 

Charleston village clerk 

Like the old website, the new one includes online payment options 

for fees like traffic tickets and water bills. Unlike the old 

website, those payment options aren’t buried and hard to find. 

The new website also boasts several new features the old site 

didn’t have. Hiser said she is most excited about a feature that allows 

the village to post emergency notices in a 

can’t-miss way on the home page. 

“For example, if we have a boil advisory, it will 

pop up as an alert on the home page, and it won’t 

go away and let you get to other parts of the website 

until you acknowledge you’ve read it,” she explained. 

Hiser also is using the home page to answer one 

of the most frequent questions she gets at town 

hall: What number do I call if I have an emergency 

after town hall’s regular business hours? This question 

refers to incidences that are not life threatening. Right away, 

website visitors can see that the answer is Clark County Dispatch 

at (937) 328-2560. Website visitors also will find upcoming events 

listed on the home page. 

The site contains an interactive zoning map, zoning regulations, 

and zoning applications. 

“So, if you want to build a fence, you can find that form online. 

You don’t have to come in-person to pick one up,” Hiser said. 

Also new is a separate cemetery section that lists cemetery 

rules, such as the type of decorations that are allowed and cleanup 

dates. 

The old website did not work well on smart phones. The pages 

wouldn’t resize to fit a phone screen, requiring users to scroll from 

side to side and zoom in and out. Now, the site resizes to fit the 

phone, and the pages turn as the user turns their phone. 

Hiser hopes that all of the changes make for a more userfriendly 

experience. 

“I really think the website is a lot nicer to zoom around and 

find the information you’re looking for,” she said. 

The village of South Charleston has a new website that is streamlined, 

easy to navigate, and works well on smart phones.

South Charleston 

Student resource officer assigned to Miami View 



Southeastern Local Schools now has a 

second student resource officer (SRO). Officer 

Kyle Marlett started his assignment at 

Miami View Elementary at the beginning of 

January. Sgt. Robert Dunsmore, who used 

to split his time between the school district’s 

two buildings, now focuses on the high 

school/middle school building. 

“The board came to a decision last fall 

that with the current state of school violence 

(in the country) it would be more advantageous 

from a safety and security 

aspect to have an SRO at each building,” 

said Southeastern Superintendent David 

Shea. 

“I feel very good about our community. 

It’s a safe community. But I think we must 

do our due diligence and be on guard. Having 

a second SRO will give us a leg up in 

that aspect.” 

Both officers are employed by the South 

Charleston Police Department. They are assigned 

full time to their respective schools 

during the school year, then work patrol 

full-time for the village in the summers. 

The school district covers the cost of the officers 

for the time they spend at the schools. 

The police department covers the rest of the 

year, plus SRO-related training and continuing 

education. 

“We’re lucky as a small community that 

we can put that out there for our staff, students, 

and parents, compared to other jurisdictions 

that are struggling with money,” 

said Police Chief Brian Redish. 

Shea said the arrangement is a win-win. 

The schools increase their safety and security. 

The police department increases their 

staffing. 

This marks the fourth year Southeastern 

has had at least one SRO on campus. 

“With the trending times, (the SRO pro- 

Preschool registration 

at Miami View 

gram) has helped out a lot,” Redish said. “If 

you look at some of the things that are happening 

at schools these days... it puts us in 

on the ground so we can help cut off some issues 

and help the school district resolve 

things in a quick manner. We’re a lot more 

proactive than reactive in a lot of areas.” 

On a day-to-day basis, an SRO’s primary 

duty is to act as a deterrent to violent crime 

and to promote school safety by creating a 

positive atmosphere where students and 

staff feel safe. 

With a month under his belt as an SRO, 

Messenger photo by Kristy Zurbrick 

South Charleston police officer Kyle Marlett started his new position as a student resource 

officer (SRO) at Miami View Elementary in January. 

Anyone interested in sending their child 

to preschool at Miami View Elementary for 

the 2023-24 school year must fill out a preschool 

questionnaire found on the Clark 

County Education Service Center website, 

clarkesc.org. 

Southeastern Local Schools will conduct 

preschool screenings in March. The district 

assesses 3- and 4-year-old children for possible 

delays or disabilities in the areas of 

fine and gross motor skills, speech and language 

skills, and social and emotional skills. 

The district also screens for a limited numevents 

and information 

ber of spots for typical peers.

SCYA ball season sign-ups 

The South Charleston Youth Association has set the following 

sign-up dates for the 2023 baseball, softball, and t-ball season. All 

sign-ups will take place at South Charleston town hall, 35 S. Chillicothe 

St. 

Feb. 4: 10 a.m.-12 p.m. 

Feb. 9: 6-8 p.m. 

Feb. 12: 1-3 p.m. 

Feb. 15: 6-8 p.m. 

Feb. 19: 1-4 p.m. 

For more information, visit “South Charleston Youth Association 

— SCYA” on Facebook or call (937) 207-7974. 

Officer Marlett said he is working on doing 

exactly that. 

“I want to cultivate a relationship with 

the kids and let the staff know they can 

trust me, too,” he said. 

He added that it has been an adjustment 

for both himself and the students. For him, 

it’s a new routine and a different scope of 

work. For the students, it’s a new face. 

In an effort to get to know the students, 

Marlett said he has 

been getting in on 

some dodgeball and 

Jim Dempsey 

Your Hometown Funeral Director 

basketball games and spending time with 

the students at recess and in the hallways. 

“I’ve already gotten some hugs,” he said 

about making connections. 

Marlett completed his SRO training late 

last year. He has been employed by the 

South Charleston Police Department for a 

little over a year. He has been a police officer 

for about five years. He previously 

worked for Kettering Health Network, the 

city of Piqua, and Premier Health’s Englewood 

campus near Dayton.

Madison County intends to apply to the Ohio Development Services 

Agency for funding under the Community Development Block Grant 

(CDBG) Small Cities Program, the HOME Investment Partnership 

Program, and other related state and federally funded programs administered 

by the State of Ohio. The County is eligible for several different 

types of PY 2023 programs providing the County meets applicable 

program requirements. These programs include but are not limited to 

the CDBG Community Development Allocation Program; Neighborhood 

Revitalization, Critical Infrastructure and Downtown Revitalization 

Programs; Economic Development and Public Infrastructure Program; 

Residential Public Infrastructure Program; Discretionary Program; and, 

the Homeless and Supportive Housing Programs. The State of Ohio 

anticipates it will receive approximately $64 million from HUD to 

distribute on a statewide basis, based on the Consolidated Plan submitted 

to HUD. The Consolidated Plan contains additional information 

on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)/ HOME Small 

Cities Program, a federally funded program administered by the State 

and funded by HUD. 

A Public Hearing to discuss the programs available through the Ohio 

Small Cities Program will be held on February 21, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., in
