Grants will cover<br />
water tower cost<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Mount Sterling has secured the last piece of funding needed to<br />
replace its 100-year-old water tower at no cost to the village.<br />
On Jan. 30, Andy Drake, village council president pro tem, announced<br />
that the Ohio Public Works Commission recently awarded<br />
Mount Sterling a $440,000 grant to go toward the cost of building<br />
a new water tower.<br />
As of last spring, the estimated project cost was $1.37 million.<br />
Village leaders were determined to fund the project with little to no<br />
debt, so they went after grants and other outside funding sources.<br />
The result: Mount Sterling will pay nothing out-of-pocket for the<br />
new water tower.<br />
“This is really, really great news,” Drake said. “It says a lot about<br />
how far Mt. Sterling has come, and maybe says a little bit about we<br />
have a ways to go. But it is, without a doubt, a vote of confidence in<br />
us, that this village is looking up and we can get things done.”<br />
Last year, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a grant<br />
to cover 75 percent of the water tower project which amounts to approximately<br />
$1 million. The village also set aside $187,000 in American<br />
Rescue Plan Act money they received as part of federal<br />
COVID-19 relief funds. The $440,000 from Ohio Public Works takes<br />
the funding total over the $1.37 million project estimate.<br />
Drake praised Courtney Bricker, village clerk, for her work on<br />
tracking down and applying for the grants. He said it was not a simple<br />
task. He also praised village leaders and staff for getting the<br />
village’s finances in order, setting a “common sense” budget, setting<br />
aside the COVID-19 relief money, and pursuing<br />
“free” money in the form of grants.<br />
With funding in place, the next phase of<br />
the water tower project is engineering and<br />

design. The village also will find out if or<br />
how inflation has impacted project costs.<br />
Overall, the project will take two to three<br />
years to complete, Drake said.<br />
Housing growth<br />
In other discussion at the Jan. 30 council<br />
meeting, Drake reported that Mount Sterling<br />
ranks ninth for housing growth among<br />
central Ohio villages, as reported in Columbus<br />
Business First. Last year, Mount Sterling<br />
ranked 13th.<br />
“We are moving up the list, not going<br />
down the list. This is a thing that we should<br />
be proud of,” he said. “We are setting the example<br />
for larger cities, not just villages, as<br />
to what it means to do affordable housing<br />
and to get people in here.<br />
“This means that more people are selecting<br />
Mount Sterling as a place to call home,<br />
raise a family, put down roots.”<br />
Mount Sterling offers a great climate in<br />
which to do business, too, Drake added.<br />
“To comment on one thing the mayor<br />
(Marci Darlington) has been saying quite a<br />
bit: Come watch us grow. Come see us grow.<br />
We are open for business,” he said.<br />

Demolition began Jan. 31 on the former school building and gym that served for many years as London’s Community<br />
Center and the hub of the city’s indoor youth sports programs. Once those structures, plus the old boiler<br />
room, are completely demolished, crews from Excavating of Ohio will separate the debris by material, remove<br />
the debris, and backfill the site. Mayor Patrick Closser said the work should be complete by sometime in April.<br />

Council approved the road closure requests with a 5-0 vote.<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Council member Joyce Phillips, who has expressed concern about<br />
Mount Sterling village council approved road closures for community<br />
events taking place in the downtown area this year.<br />
the closures in the past, was not present at the meeting.<br />
Prior to the vote, Mayor Marci Darlington and council member<br />

Andy Drake asked if more discussion was needed based on feedback<br />
and a village council member, requested the following road closures<br />
from residents and churches in the downtown area. Drake said he<br />
at the Jan. 30 council meeting:<br />

Water/sewer bills go up 8.7 percent<br />

An 8.7 percent increase is being applied to Mount Sterling residents’<br />
water and sewer bills this year.<br />
This follows legislation that was set in 2021 and became effective in<br />
2022. The legislation calls for an automatic 5 percent increase to water<br />
and sewer fees each year unless the cost of living is higher than 5 percent,<br />
in which case the increase matches the cost of living increase.<br />
Tom Byrne, village administrator, announced the rate hike at<br />
the Jan. 30 council meeting, saying residents would see the increase<br />
starting with this month’s bills.<br />
“This means the average (monthly) bill will go up $2.97. All increases<br />
are based on usage only,” he said.<br />
Council member Becky Martin noted the<br />
increase does not apply to the debt service<br />
fee which is a fixed rate.<br />
Leak detection<br />
Byrne reported the village plans to apply<br />
for an Environmental Protection Agency<br />
(EPA) grant to purchase a listening device<br />
to pinpoint water line leaks.<br />
“This device would give us a better idea<br />
of where we’ve got to dig, so we’re not digging<br />
up the entire street to find one little<br />
break,” he said.<br />
The EPA grant would cover costs up to<br />
$10,000. The value<br />
of the device Mount<br />
Sterling seeks is<br />
$6,300. The grant<br />
does not require<br />
matching funds<br />
from the village, but<br />
it is a competitive<br />
grant, so funding is<br />
not guaranteed.<br />
“This is important equipment because it helps with one of the<br />
village’s EPA violations—water loss,” said Andy Drake, council president<br />
pro tem. “We’re trying to get that under control. We started<br />
with fire hydrants, then leaky valves, then pipes that are leaking<br />
actively underground.”<br />
Currently, the village calls the Ohio Rural Water Association for<br />
help with leak detection. The village pays a small yearly fee to be a<br />
member of the association which provides the service at no charge.<br />
With its own leak detection equipment, the village could tend to<br />
leak issues immediately, Byrne said, rather than waiting for an appointment<br />
with the association.<br />
Committee assignments<br />
Council approved the following council committee assignments<br />
for <strong>2023</strong>:<br />
• Finance—Andy Drake (chair), Joyce Phillips, and David Timmons;<br />
• Liaison to the Pleasant Township trustees—Timmons (chair);<br />
• Liaison to the Tri County Joint Fire District—Bill Tilley (chair);<br />

• Streets—Longcoy (chair), Timmons, and Becky Martin;<br />
• Tree City USA—Martin (chair);<br />
• Parks and recreation—Martin (chair), Tilley, and Longcoy;<br />
• Planning—Drake (chair);<br />
• Zoning—Phillips (chair); and<br />
• Records retention—Drake (chair).<br />
Council will address possible changes in the structure of the nuisance<br />
and abatement committee. Phillips is set to serve as chair.<br />
Council needs to decide how many other people will serve on the<br />
committee and, of those, how many will be council members and<br />
how many will be residents.<br />
Council’s next regular meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 13<br />
in council chambers at town hall.<br />

Enjoying sanctioned status<br />
<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains<br />
excited about future<br />
of girls’ wrestling<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
For the past several years, more and<br />
more girls have been taking up wrestling,<br />
finding spots on boys’ teams. This year,<br />
girls’ wrestling is enjoying its first year as<br />
a sport sanctioned by the Ohio High School<br />
Athletic Association (OHSAA), and Eric Mc-<br />
Donald Jr., first-year head coach of <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains<br />
High School’s girls wrestling<br />
team, is excited.<br />
“They get an OHSAA state championship<br />
like the boys’ team does and like any<br />
other official sport does. They have their<br />
own schedule and their own tournaments,<br />
so they don’t have to match up with boys if<br />
they don’t want to. There are girls-only<br />
tournaments all over the state,” he said.<br />
McDonald is pumped to be involved with<br />
new growth in a sport he loves. He wrestled<br />
at Reynoldsburg High School, his alma<br />
mater, and now coaches alongside one of his<br />
Reynoldsburg teammates, <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains<br />
boys’ wrestling head coach Jordan Kramer.<br />
He still competes in wrestling, along with<br />
jiu-jitsu, judo, and mixed martial arts,<br />
something he also did while serving in the<br />
U.S. Navy.<br />
“Athletics is a big thing for me. Fitness,<br />
sports, lessons of digging deep, finding a<br />
better version of yourself... you learn you<br />
have the ability to do it, and that translates<br />
to life,” McDonald said.<br />
He’s sharing that enthusiasm with his<br />
small but committed team: junior Payne<br />
Haverfield, a first-year wrestler competing<br />
in the 155-pound class; sophomore Kyleigh<br />
Elfrink, a returning wrestler, in the 110-<br />
pound class; and freshman Tara Nagel, a<br />
first-year wrestler competing at 235<br />
pounds. Senior Emma Rife started the season<br />
but was sidelined with a shoulder injury.<br />
Nagel is loving her new sport. She splits<br />
her time between powerlifting and wrestling,<br />
hitting powerlifting tournaments on the<br />
weekends when she doesn’t have wrestling.<br />
She said her brother, junior Trevor Hardin,<br />
also a powerlifter and a first-year wrestler,<br />
nudged her to give wrestling a try.<br />
“I’m into muscle sports, and I just felt<br />
wrestling was something I would like to<br />
try,” she said.<br />
When she took first place in her very<br />
first meet this season, Trevor was right<br />
there jumping up and down, cheering her<br />
on.<br />
Nagel said she appreciates that sibling<br />
support, along with the bonds she has made<br />
with her teammates and coach.<br />
“Our team jokes a lot, but we also take it<br />

<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains’ girls’ wrestling head coach Eric McDonald Jr. and<br />
his team know how to have fun and be serious about their sport,<br />
all at the same time.<br />
Junior Payne Haverfield has the upper hand in one of her first<br />
meets as a member of the <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains’ girls’ wrestling team.

super serious. It’s something I love being part of because they are<br />
always there for me, and I am there for them,” she said.<br />
Though she’s only a sophomore, Elfrink entered this season with<br />
several years of experience. She started wrestling through the<br />
Golden Eagle Youth Sports Association, then joined the <strong>Madison</strong>-<br />
Plains Junior High team, and has continued wrestling at the high<br />
school level.<br />
“It helps with my mental health, helps with keeping me in shape,<br />
and it just helps me get out anger and frustration through the day<br />
and through the week,” she said about why she likes the sport.<br />
She said OHSAA’s sanctioning of girls’ wrestling means more opportunities<br />
for competitive experiences at the high school level,<br />
something she hopes sets the foundation for competitive opportunities<br />
after graduation.<br />
“My plan is to get into college wrestling,” she said.<br />
McDonald said Haverfield is making the most of her first year<br />
as a wrestler. Early on, she placed second in her division at the<br />
Heart of Ohio wrestling tournament in Mechanicsburg.<br />
All of the girls are making great strides, McDonald said. They<br />
had to climb a learning curve early in the season, but with each<br />
meet, have showed improvement. By mid-season, they were starting<br />
to turn a corner, he said.<br />
“They’ve been matching better with girls with more experience.<br />
Kyleigh Elfrink, a sophomore on <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains’ girls’ wrestling<br />
team, competes at a meet earlier this season. After recovering<br />
from a concussion and a sprained shoulder, she returned to the<br />
mat Jan. 22 and looks forward to post-season competition.<br />
It’s in the bag<br />

Try cover crops<br />
for benefits that<br />
last year-round<br />
Widespread use of fertilizers and herbicides have replaced<br />
the centuries-old practice of planting cover crops. However,<br />
cover crops have seen a resurgence in recent years due to increasing<br />
awareness of environmental and ecological concerns.<br />
Universities and private researchers have studies under way<br />
to quantify the benefits provided from cover crops on agricultural<br />
lands and to show their abilities to supplement or replace<br />
purchased inputs.<br />
A cover crop is a plant that is used primarily to slow erosion,<br />
improve soil health, enhance water availability, smother<br />
weeds, help<br />
control pests<br />
and diseases,<br />
increase biodiversity,<br />
and<br />
bring a host of<br />
other benefits<br />
to your farm. It<br />
is not intended to be harvested for feed or sale. Selection of a<br />
cover crop depends on when it can be planted and the goal for<br />
its uses. Legume cover crops fix atmospheric nitrogen into a<br />
form plants and microorganisms can use. Non-legume species<br />
recycle existing soil nitrogen and other nutrients and can reduce<br />
leaching losses.<br />
Other benefits to planting cover crops are:<br />
Soil quality improvements–Soil tilth is improved whenever<br />
a plant establishes roots and grows into compacted areas.<br />
Water infiltration is improved, as well. When a field lays fallow<br />
for a period, the surface tends to seal, and water will run<br />
off. Cover crops protect the soil surface and reduce sealing.<br />
Also, beneficial organisms in the soil, such as earthworms,<br />
thrive when fresh plant material is decomposing. Organic matter<br />
levels tend to improve with the addition of cover crops.<br />
Erosion control–Cover crops reduce wind and water erosion<br />
on all types of soils. By having the soil held in place by<br />
cover crops during the fall, winter, and early spring, loss of soil<br />
from erosion is greatly reduced. Reducing soil loss helps keep<br />
the local creeks and ditches from turning muddy.<br />
Fertility improvements–Legumes can add substantial<br />
amounts of available nitrogen to the soil. Non-legumes can be<br />
used to take up excess nitrogen from previous crops and recycle<br />
the nitrogen, as well as available phosphorus and potassium,<br />
to the following crop. Cover crops can also be used to<br />
reduce leaching of nutrients after a manure application.<br />
Suppress weeds–A dense stand of winter rye or other<br />
cover crop can suppress weeds by soil shading. Allelochemicals<br />
from cover crops suppress the growth of other plants.<br />
Insect control–Beneficial insects, such as lady beetles or<br />
ground beetles, may be encouraged by planting cover crops.<br />
Planting cover crops is not just for the large farming operation.<br />
Your backyard garden can also greatly benefit from the<br />
planting of cover crops. After the garden has been harvested,<br />
cover crops—typically planted as seeds—protect the soil from<br />
erosion and prevent nutrient runoff during the winter. The<br />
placeholder crops then become organic material for the garden<br />
in the spring. Having plants in the garden year-round also<br />
helps keep weeds at bay. Annuals are considered the best cover<br />
crops, because gardeners won’t have to kill them before their<br />
spring planting. Annuals can be tilled right into the soil, improving<br />
its make-up.<br />
If you are interested in planting cover crops or implementing<br />
other conservation practices on your land, contact the<br />

Village’s new website: Streamlined, mobile-friendly<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
The village of South Charleston has a new streamlined, mobilefriendly<br />
website that makes information easy to find.<br />
The site went live at the start of this year and can be found at<br />
http://villageofsouthcharleston.org. The previous site<br />
had a .net domain name. It will remain active for a<br />
couple of months with a link to the new site before<br />
the village closes it down.<br />
Part of the streamlining process involved cleaning<br />
house.<br />
“We eliminated a lot of old information. We kept<br />
all the important stuff,” said village clerk Jessica<br />
Hiser, who headed up the website overhaul.<br />
Reorganization also was part of the streamlining<br />
process.<br />
“We have more tabs that are more direct about the information<br />
they have. It makes it easier to find what you’re looking for,” Hiser<br />
said.<br />
For example, details about village job opportunities were in a<br />
“random spot” on the old website, Hiser said. Now, they’re easy to<br />
find. Look for “Employment” in the dropdown menu under “More”<br />
on the home page.<br />

“I really think the<br />
website is a lot nicer to<br />
zoom around and find<br />
the information you’re<br />
looking for.”<br />
–Jessica Hiser, South<br />
Charleston village clerk<br />
Like the old website, the new one includes online payment options<br />
for fees like traffic tickets and water bills. Unlike the old<br />
website, those payment options aren’t buried and hard to find.<br />
The new website also boasts several new features the old site<br />
didn’t have. Hiser said she is most excited about a feature that allows<br />
the village to post emergency notices in a<br />
can’t-miss way on the home page.<br />
“For example, if we have a boil advisory, it will<br />
pop up as an alert on the home page, and it won’t<br />
go away and let you get to other parts of the website<br />
until you acknowledge you’ve read it,” she explained.<br />
Hiser also is using the home page to answer one<br />
of the most frequent questions she gets at town<br />
hall: What number do I call if I have an emergency<br />
after town hall’s regular business hours? This question<br />
refers to incidences that are not life threatening. Right away,<br />
website visitors can see that the answer is Clark County Dispatch<br />
at (937) 328-2560. Website visitors also will find upcoming events<br />
listed on the home page.<br />
The site contains an interactive zoning map, zoning regulations,<br />
and zoning applications.<br />
“So, if you want to build a fence, you can find that form online.<br />
You don’t have to come in-person to pick one up,” Hiser said.<br />
Also new is a separate cemetery section that lists cemetery<br />
rules, such as the type of decorations that are allowed and cleanup<br />
dates.<br />
The old website did not work well on smart phones. The pages<br />
wouldn’t resize to fit a phone screen, requiring users to scroll from<br />
side to side and zoom in and out. Now, the site resizes to fit the<br />
phone, and the pages turn as the user turns their phone.<br />
Hiser hopes that all of the changes make for a more userfriendly<br />
experience.<br />
“I really think the website is a lot nicer to zoom around and<br />
find the information you’re looking for,” she said.<br />
The village of South Charleston has a new website that is streamlined,<br />
easy to navigate, and works well on smart phones.<br />

South Charleston<br />
Student resource officer assigned to Miami View<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Southeastern Local Schools now has a<br />
second student resource officer (SRO). Officer<br />
Kyle Marlett started his assignment at<br />
Miami View Elementary at the beginning of<br />
January. Sgt. Robert Dunsmore, who used<br />
to split his time between the school district’s<br />
two buildings, now focuses on the high<br />
school/middle school building.<br />
“The board came to a decision last fall<br />
that with the current state of school violence<br />
(in the country) it would be more advantageous<br />
from a safety and security<br />
aspect to have an SRO at each building,”<br />
said Southeastern Superintendent David<br />
Shea.<br />
“I feel very good about our community.<br />
It’s a safe community. But I think we must<br />
do our due diligence and be on guard. Having<br />
a second SRO will give us a leg up in<br />
that aspect.”<br />
Both officers are employed by the South<br />
Charleston Police Department. They are assigned<br />
full time to their respective schools<br />
during the school year, then work patrol<br />
full-time for the village in the summers.<br />
The school district covers the cost of the officers<br />
for the time they spend at the schools.<br />
The police department covers the rest of the<br />
year, plus SRO-related training and continuing<br />
education.<br />
“We’re lucky as a small community that<br />
we can put that out there for our staff, students,<br />
and parents, compared to other jurisdictions<br />
that are struggling with money,”<br />
said Police Chief Brian Redish.<br />
Shea said the arrangement is a win-win.<br />
The schools increase their safety and security.<br />
The police department increases their<br />
staffing.<br />
This marks the fourth year Southeastern<br />
has had at least one SRO on campus.<br />
“With the trending times, (the SRO pro-<br />
Preschool registration<br />
at Miami View<br />
gram) has helped out a lot,” Redish said. “If<br />
you look at some of the things that are happening<br />
at schools these days... it puts us in<br />
on the ground so we can help cut off some issues<br />
and help the school district resolve<br />
things in a quick manner. We’re a lot more<br />
proactive than reactive in a lot of areas.”<br />
On a day-to-day basis, an SRO’s primary<br />
duty is to act as a deterrent to violent crime<br />
and to promote school safety by creating a<br />
positive atmosphere where students and<br />
staff feel safe.<br />
With a month under his belt as an SRO,<br />

South Charleston police officer Kyle Marlett started his new position as a student resource<br />
officer (SRO) at Miami View Elementary in January.<br />
Anyone interested in sending their child<br />
to preschool at Miami View Elementary for<br />
the <strong>2023</strong>-24 school year must fill out a preschool<br />
questionnaire found on the Clark<br />
County Education Service Center website,<br />
clarkesc.org.<br />
Southeastern Local Schools will conduct<br />
preschool screenings in March. The district<br />
assesses 3- and 4-year-old children for possible<br />
delays or disabilities in the areas of<br />
fine and gross motor skills, speech and language<br />
skills, and social and emotional skills.<br />
The district also screens for a limited numevents<br />
and information<br />
ber of spots for typical peers.<br />

SCYA ball season sign-ups<br />
The South Charleston Youth Association has set the following<br />
sign-up dates for the <strong>2023</strong> baseball, softball, and t-ball season. All<br />
sign-ups will take place at South Charleston town hall, 35 S. Chillicothe<br />
St.<br />

Feb. 19: 1-4 p.m.<br />
For more information, visit “South Charleston Youth Association<br />
— SCYA” on Facebook or call (937) 207-7974.<br />
Officer Marlett said he is working on doing<br />
exactly that.<br />
“I want to cultivate a relationship with<br />
the kids and let the staff know they can<br />
trust me, too,” he said.<br />
He added that it has been an adjustment<br />
for both himself and the students. For him,<br />
it’s a new routine and a different scope of<br />
work. For the students, it’s a new face.<br />
In an effort to get to know the students,<br />
Marlett said he has<br />
been getting in on<br />
some dodgeball and<br />

basketball games and spending time with<br />
the students at recess and in the hallways.<br />
“I’ve already gotten some hugs,” he said<br />
about making connections.<br />
Marlett completed his SRO training late<br />
last year. He has been employed by the<br />
South Charleston Police Department for a<br />
little over a year. He has been a police officer<br />
for about five years. He previously<br />
worked for Kettering Health Network, the<br />
city of Piqua, and Premier Health’s Englewood<br />
campus near Dayton.<br />
