Good eats 

is and that on the local 

restaurant and food scene 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

The restaurant and food scene in Madison County 

is moving and shaking. Check out the following recent 

developments. 

Ben & Joy’s adding meat market 

Chad Moore and Davon Donovan, the new owners 

of Ben & Joy’s Restaurant, 35 S. London St., Mount 

Sterling, plan to convert part of the restaurant previously 

known as the Angel Room into a market for 

fresh meat. The market is tentatively slated to open 

on May 1. 

“We will be offering select cuts of beef, hamburgers, 

steaks, sirloins, brisket, roasts, and more right from 

the butcher. We’ll also give customers the option of 

buying in bulk, like a quarter, half, or whole beef,” 

Moore said. 

The idea is to provide residents with a local place 

to pick up fresh meat for cookouts, dinners, and the 

like. 

“We want to make it readily available for people so 

they don’t have to drive 20 to 25 minutes out of the 

way,” Moore said. 

As for day-to-day operations of the restaurant, 

Moore and Donovan took over 

ownership of Ben & Joy’s on 

Nov. 19. They have stuck with 

the same menu the previous 

owners had.

“Ben & Joy’s has been a 

huge staple for almost 40 

years,” said Moore, who is 

originally from Grove City 

and moved to the Mount Sterling 

area about four years ago. 

“I used to go there growing up. 

We’d go for the buffet.” 

As the new owners, Moore 

and Donovan started off offering 

the buffet on Sundays in 

December and added Saturdays 

in January. They now 

offer the buffet on Fridays, 

Saturdays, and Sundays. 

The restaurant is open 

every day, 7 a.m.-2 p.m. The 

next step, Moore said, is to 

add evening hours starting 

with Fridays and Saturdays 

and later adding Thursdays. 

The plan is to add the evening 

hours starting May 1, the 

same day they hope to open 

the meat market. 

In related news, Moore and 

Ben & Joy’s Restaurant in Mount Sterling has expanded its buffet days 

to Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The restaurant’s new owners plan 

to open a meat market in the restaurant in May. 

On April 1, Rodney and Rebecca Rucker will open the London Farm 

Fresh Market, picking up where the Procter Store is leaving off. 

Donovan purchased the property at 17 E. Main St. They hope 

to renovate the house that sits on the property and rent it out 

for residential use. The future of the second building on the 

property, formerly home to the Mad Hatter cafe, will be announced 

soon. 

Mad Hatter closes 

Following the change in ownership of the 17 E. Main St. 

property, Mount Sterling resident Becky Martin closed the 

Mad Hatter, the shop she owned and operated from that location 

for 5.5 years. The Mad Hatter served breakfast and lunch 

and provided a place for others to sell their wares on consignment. 

At least 10 vendors at a time had their items for sale at 

the shop. Items included fairy gardens, dip mixes, jams, honey, 

clothing, jewelry, baked goods, and home decor. 

“It’s been a great ride,” said Martin, who closed the shop on 

Feb. 10. “I feel like it was a great thing for the community. I 

know we’ll be missed.” 

Mad Cow Bar & Grill in London opened last fall and 

offers lunch and dinner every day, plus brunch on 

Saturday and Sunday. A liquor permit was recently 

shifted into the owners’ names. 

The London historic review board recently approved 

signage for Sammi Faye’s, a cafe slated to 

open this spring on South Main Street. 

She said she has leads on another business venture in 

Mount Sterling but, for now, is taking time off to regroup. 

Legion expands food offerings 

American Legion Post 417, 27 Clark St., Mount Sterling, 

has expanded its food service options. As of Feb. 11, the post 

serves breakfast using recipes Martin shared from her former 

Mad Hatter menu. The Legion’s breakfast hours are Monday- 

Saturday, 8-11 a.m. 

The Legion also has expanded its lunch hours, days, and 

menu. For the past few years, the post has been open for lunch 

three days a week. As of Feb. 13, they are open five days a 

week: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; 

Wednesday and Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. 

Every day except Fridays, the Legion serves lunch items, 

including soups and sandwich wraps inspired by Mad Hatter

Mayor shares information via Weekend Update 



London Mayor Patrick Closser recently 

started what he calls the “Weekend Update.” 

Once a week, he posts what he has 

been up to as mayor, what is going on 

around the city, and news from local government 

meetings. 

“This is just another way we are looking 

to get as much information out as possible 

to the citizens,” he said. 

The updates can be accessed via Facebook 

(look for “Mayor Patrick J. Closser”) 

and on the city’s website at londonohio.gov. 

In a recent Weekend Update, Closser reported 

he had met with two different sets of 

developers. One is interested in bringing 

apartments or condominiums to London. 

The meeting served as an information gathering 

session for the developer. 

The other group of developers is interested 

in purchasing and renovating three 

properties in downtown London—22 S. 

Main, 106-114 S. Main St., and 116-122 S. 

Main St. 

“They are very community oriented, 

wanting the best for London, and will complete 

surveys to see what kind of businesses 

people would like to see in those buildings,” 

Closser said. “They have done many rehab 

projects in historic downtowns, including 

Old Hilliard and Plain City.” 

Public hearings 

In other development news, changes 

have been made to the plan for the Keny 

Station Apartments complex on Keny 

Boulevard. The public hearing date has 

been rescheduled for March 16 during city 

council’s regular meeting which starts at 

6:30 p.m. at city hall. 

The city planning commission approved 

a preliminary development plan for the Lexington 

Green housing development, situated 

between Eagleton and Keny Boulevard 

out to State Route 38. City council held a 

first reading on the plan on Feb. 16. A public 

hearing is set for April 6. 

The planning commission also approved 

an amendment to the zoning map for a 

small area encompassed by Lincoln Avenue, 

Fairview Avenue, Antietam Avenue, and 

Toland Street. The area is home to nine 

properties and is currently zoned commercial, 

even though all the properties are residences. 

The current zoning designation 

dates back to when one of the properties 

was a business. The proposal, which must 

be approved by council, is to update the zoning 

to residential to match current usage. A 

public hearing is set for the April 6 council 

meeting. 

Police department 

The police department implemented a 

new body camera system on Feb. 1. The new 

system allows the older cameras that are no 

longer supported by the maintenance plan 

to be used by officers working special duty 

and other events where more than 10 body 

cameras are used at the same time. 

Parks, recreation, and fireworks 

Council set aside $20,000 for this year’s 

FOOD 

Continued from page 1 

recipes. Fridays are reserved for fried perch 

and shrimp all day. On Wednesdays, the 

post offers special dinners, such as lasagna, 

meatloaf, and chicken and noodles, along 

with their regular lunch menu. 

The public is welcome. Legion membership 

is not required to enjoy breakfast or 

lunch. Eat-in and carryout options are offered. 

To place an order, call (740) 869-2795. 

Liquor Permit for Mad Cow 

On Feb. 16, London city council approved 

a liquor permit transfer for Mad Cow Bar & 

Grill, 18 E. High St., London. Until the 

transfer, Mad Cow was using the permit 

under a manager’s agreement with the former 

owners of the property. The transfer 

puts the permit in Mad Cow’s name. 

Locally owned by brothers Jesse and Jeremy 

Fields and their father, Dennis Fields, 

Mad Cow Bar & Grill opened on Oct. 15. 

The business serves lunch and dinner every 

day, plus brunch 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday 

and Sunday. 

Among the signature menu items are 

smoked chicken wings, brisket, and pulled 

pork. The Mad Cow Burger is topped with 

barbecue sauce, onion tanglers, candied 

bacon, smoked gouda cheese, and habanero 

bacon jam on a pretzel bun. Cheese curds, 

cauliflower wings, salads, and chicken tenders 

are some of the other offerings. The 

kitchen also serves up dessert and a kid’s 

menu. 

The brunch menu includes chicken and 

waffles, biscuits and gravy, French toast, 

and the Mad Cow breakfast plate (eggs, 

bacon or sausage, home fries, and toast). A 

la carte items and special coffees and drinks 

also are included on the brunch menu. 

The full bar serves beer on draft and in 

bottles, as well as liquor, including signature 

bourbons, seven days a week. 

Independence Day fireworks. The display is 

scheduled for July 3. Last year, the city 

spent $15,000 on fireworks. 

Council voted to update minimum pay 

rates for parks and recreation employees to 

reflect the current minimum wage. 

Live bands perform on Friday nights. 

Saturday is karaoke night. Families with 

children are welcome until 9 p.m. every day. 

Mad Cow Bar & Grill hours are: 11 a.m.- 

midnight Monday-Thursday; 11 a.m.-2:30 

a.m. Friday; 10 a.m.-2:30 a.m., Saturday; 

and 10 a.m.-midnight Sunday. 

Signage approved for Sammi Faye’s 

Sammi Faye’s is a new cafe slated to 

open this spring at 25 S. Main St., London. 

The city of London’s historic review board 

recently approved signage for the cafe. Visit 

www.sammifayes.com and find them on 

Facebook for updates. 

Procter Store Change 

On April 1, the Procter Store, 119 S. 

Main St., London, will become the London 

Farm Fresh Market. Rodney and Rebecca 

Rucker are taking over operations. They 

plan to bring in more produce, expand store 

hours, and increase vendors. A grand opening 

is set for April 2. 

The Procter Camp & Conference Center 

started the indoor farmers market in 2019. 

The upcoming transition will allow Procter, 

located on State Route 38 in London, to return 

its focus to its main mission of being a 

summer camp. Procter plans to increase 

programming and continue operating its 

six-acre hog, chicken and vegetable farm. 

The farm will stock the London Farm Fresh 

Market with meats, produce, and Community 

Supported Agriculture offerings. 

The Procter Store will remain open on 

Fridays and Saturdays through March. 

Butcher Block rabbit hunt 

The Butcher Block restaurant in London 

hosted its first annual rabbit hunt. A total of 

54 hunters in three-person teams competed, 

harvesting a total of 85 rabbits. The winning 

team took home $590 in prize money. The 

rabbits were cleaned and a Butcher Block 

chef prepared hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew) as a 

free meal for hunt participants.

Teen Night in Mt. Sterling 

Free produce market on March 22 

Buckeye Community School, 177 W. High St., London, hosts a 

free produce market from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. the fourth Wednesday 

of each month. Upcoming dates for the market are March 22, April 

26, and May 24. 



A group of teens dedicated to lifting up their peers is 

hosting a Teen Night from 6 to 8 p.m. March 10 at the 

Mount Sterling Community Center, 164 E. Main St. 

The event is open to Madison County students in 

grades 9-12. Admission is free. Plenty of fun activities 

are planned. 

The hosts are members of Madison County Prevention’s 

youth ambassadors program. Madison County 

Prevention is an affiliate of Madison County’s Family 

and Children First Council. The program’s goal is to 

provide positive activities and tools to enhance teens’ 

well-being. 

The March 10 event will feature a volleyball tournament, 

the Just Dance video game, a yoga and mindfulness 

class, and an art class. Creations from the art class 

will be donated to local organizations, such as senior 

centers, nursing homes, and daycares. The activities are 

designed to promote physical health, mind and body enrichment, 

and generosity. 

Kahoots Trivia, Youth MOVE peer-to-peer support 

groups , prizes, and giveaways also are planned. Refreshments 

will be available at a small cost. 

“It’s a fun opportunity to engage with other youth in 

Madison County,” said Amanda Hampton, a certified 

prevention specialist with Madison County Prevention. 

Hampton and Larry Newton, who serves on the 

Counter Drug Task Force with the National Guard, 

serve as adult allies to the youth ambassador program. 

Youth ambassadors hail from all parts of Madison 

County. Current ambassadors are Isabella Kerry, Sean 

Johns, Athena Powell, Emma Wethington, Emma 

Mounts, Mackenna Mitchell, and Ariel Cochrane. Two 

more students will soon join the ranks. 

The group’s Teen Night idea is the result of careful 

study of their peers’ needs. They started by creating a 

survey which they distributed to high schoolers across 

the county during the 2021-22 school year. They learned 

that teens’ main concerns included mental health, emotional 

health, and discrimination. Survey respondents 

pointed to a variety of causes for these concerns, from 

pandemic-related social distancing and isolation to social 

media, bullying, relationship troubles, and pressure 

from school, guardians, and peers. They also mentioned 

a lack of positive things to do in the county. 

During the 2022-23 school year, the ambassadors 

completed training sessions to learn about risk factors 

and protective factors and how to improve the overall 

well-being of themselves and their peers. 

“They want to share this information with their 

peers through positive social engagements, educational 

platforms, and added support for young people who 

might be struggling,” Hampton said. 

The ambassadors decided to hold quarterly events 

for high-schoolers, rotating locations among Mount 

Sterling, West Jefferson, London, and Plain City. The 

March 10 event in Mount Sterling is their first. 

“Afterwards, they will evaluate how things went to 

see if their short-term and long-term goals are met, then 

they will start planning for the next event,” Hampton 

said. 

Anyone who would like to know more about the upcoming 

Teen Night or the Madison County Prevention 

Youth Ambassadors can contact Amanda Hampton at 

amanda.hampton@madison.oh.gov or (740) 852-6342. 

The program welcomes anyone who would like to 

serve as an adult ally, set up a resource table, and/or 

donate funds or items for giveaways and raffles at the 

program’s events.

Southeastern staging ‘e SpongeBob Musical’ 



Southeastern High School’s spring stage production is sure to 

make a splash. 

The Trojan theater department will present “The SpongeBob 

Musical” on March 10 at 7 p.m. and March 11 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. 

The show is based on the animated children’s television series, 

“SpongeBob SquarePants.” 

“We chose this musical because, first off, as an art teacher, 

there’s not a day that goes by that someone isn’t drawing or mentioning 

something about SpongeBob episodes,” said Laura Madden, 

director. 

“Plus, the show really fits our situation as a small school because 

it has gender flexible casting. All of the parts can be cast as male or 

female. We typically have more girls than boys going out for our 

shows, so this makes it easier to do casting.” 

Madden also loves the show’s music. All of the songs are written 

by famous singers and bands, such as John Legend, David Bowie, 

Cyndi Lauper, They Might Be Giants, and Panic at the Disco. 

“The songs are very catchy. There are a lot of earworms that get

Playing lead characters in Southeastern High School’s upcoming production of “The SpongeBob Musical,” are: 

(front row, from left) Trenton Davis as Squidward, Elizabeth Beam as Karen the Computer, Peyton Hamilton as 

Patrick Star, Caitlyn Marshall as Pearl Krabs; (back row) Cody Clark as Plankton, Ethan Heskett as SpongeBob), 

Ella McCombs as Sandy Cheeks, and Justin Callicoat as Mr. Krabs. 

stuck in your head very easily,” she said. 

The show’s storyline takes place in the undersea city 

of Bikini Bottom. All is good until the residents find out 

the nearby volcano, Mt. Humongous, threatens to erupt 

in the next 48 hours and destroy the city. 

SpongeBob SquarePants, played by senior Ethan 

Heskett, and Sandy Cheeks, played by senior Ella Mc- 

Combs, try to save the city through science and invention. 

Meanwhile, Sheldon J. Plankton (junior Cody 

Clark) works on a scheme to hypnotize the residents 

into loving his chum burgers, and Patrick Star (junior 

Peyton Hamilton) finds an adoring cult of sardines that 

treat him like a leader. 

“Ethan has been in shows since he was a freshman. 

He is amazing. He has lines in just about every scene,” 

Madden said. 

McCombs is lending her strong singing voice to the 

production in her second year on stage. Hamilton, who 

has been in shows since eighth grade, has nailed 

Patrick’s personality and voice. Clark is prepping to perform 

a speed rap. 

Among the others in the cast are sophomore Trenton 

Davis, who has learned to tap dance with two extra legs 

attached for his role as Squidward Q. Tentacles. Justin 

Callicoat is another sophomore getting his feet wet on 

stage as Mr. Krabs. 

Freshman Elizabeth Beam plays Karen, Plankton’s 

computer wife; she also sings in the chorus and dances 

with the ensemble. Senior Caitlyn Marshall plays Pearl, 

Mr. Krabs’s daughter. As someone who has been in 

stage productions since her freshman year, Marshall 

helps less experienced castmates find their way on 

stage. 

Madden says the cast as a whole is getting a kick out 

of the show selection. 

“I think they think it’s great now that they are seeing 

it all come together with the props and costumes. They 

are enjoying all the references to the various episodes 

they are familiar with,” she said. 

Speaking of props and costumes, the sets are fun and 

funky, using balloons to represent bubbles, umbrellas 

to evoke jellyfish, and pool noodles to create coral reefs. 

The costumes aren’t what most might guess. Instead of 

looking like the cartoon characters, the actors are the 

human embodiment of the characters, Madden said. 

“They will be wearing clothes that remind us of the 

characters. For example, Ethan will be wearing a yellow 

shirt, brown pants, and a red tie as SpongeBob. For 

Patrick, Peyton will be wearing a pink shirt and green 

beach shorts with purple flowers, and he’ll have pink hair.” 

Joining Madden in putting on Southeastern’s production 

of “The SpongeBob Musical’ are David Kestner, 

Southeastern band and choir director, and Rachel Kestner 

who are serving as the musical directors and choreographers. 

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Students 

can purchase tickets in advance during the school 

day in the guidance office. Tickets also will be available 

at the door at show times. Doors open 30 minutes prior 

to each show.

for her. She called Jessica her Ride or Die or her girl. 

Visitation was set for 12-2 p.m. March 4 at Eberle- 

Fisher Funeral Home and Crematory, London, with a 

service beginning at 2 p.m.

Stoll defends state swimming title 

He’s about as humble and kind as they 

come outside the water, but make no mistake, 

once the race starts, he’s the ultimate 

competitor. Jonathan Alder senior Eli Stoll 

used that competitiveness to defend his Div. 

II 100-yard backstroke state title on Feb. 24 

at the C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. 

Stoll set the stage for his championship 

repeat by dominating his heat during prelims 

on Feb. 23, qualifying for the finals 

with the top time of 48.46 seconds, just 0.15 

seconds away from the Div. II state record. 

Despite being disappointed in his finals 

time, Stoll earned the top spot on the 

podium for the second straight year, besting 

Krys Gorski from Willoughby Andrews Osborne 

by 0.05 seconds. 

Stoll, who is committed to swim for The 

Ohio State University next season, also finished 

second in the 200-yard individual 

London freshman Griffin Lotton prepares 

to start his 500-yard freestyle race at the 

state meet. 

medley, the same place he earned last season. 

Stoll was joined at the state meet by two 

Madison County freshmen. Swimming in 

the 100-yard breaststroke, Alder’s Lily 

Schneider posted a personal best in the prelims, 

earning her a berth in the state consolation 

finals. Unphased by the capacity 

crowd and the aspect of swimming in the 

state finals, Schneider won her consolation 

heat, placing ninth overall. 

The previous week, London freshman 

Griffin Lotton nabbed the 32nd and final 

qualifying spot in the 500-yard freestyle 

and was thrilled just to earn the trip to Canton. 

Like Schneider, however, he didn’t let 

the state stage intimidate him. Lotton used 

a strong surge during the last 150 yards to 

earn a personal best time of 5:02.70, placing 

him 28th in Ohio’s Div. II this year.

Katie Marie Hooker, 36, of Mount Sterling, OH, passed away 

February 14, 2023, surrounded by her family. 

She was born May 19th, an unyielding Taurus, in the birth place of 

Rock-n- Roll, Memphis Tennessee, to her loving parents, Timothy and 

Laura Hooker. Having lived in Mississippi as a toddler, Katie earned 

the nickname, “Mississippi Squirrel” for her clever way of scooting 

around and a knack for finding M&M’s to stow away. 

Katie had many wonderful memories that she always cherished: 2005 

graduate of Madison Plains High School (even if she did gain a reputation 

of cutting class), time she spent cuddling with her then 

puppy Quinn, getting to see the family grow with nieces and nephews (Dillon, Roselyn, Benjamin 

II, Kaeleigh, Colton, and Esther), traveling out west to Colorado and ride a cog to the 

heights of Pike’s Peak, touring the Wizard Of Oz Museum in Kansas was a succession to her sister’s 

desires veering off course to Colorado but Katie ended up enjoying being there with her 

family, being spun around the dance floor in her wheelchair and testing out new stunts, watching 

her VHS copy of Cinderella till it would play no more, reading a plethora of romance novels, 

attending many country concerts where she has met so many amazing artists. She had many 

wonderful moments and lived her life with no regrets. 

Even though Katie lived a complex life with relentless health issues stemming from Spina Bifida, 

her desire to enjoy life, love her family, attend concerts, travel out west and her love of 

the arts kept Katie pushing for better days and solutions to obstacles she faced. Resilient, stubborn, 

passionate, she handled unsavory moments with realistic and dark humor, often causing 

people to question the entire family’s mental well-being. Katie never swayed away from her 

humor, enjoying the gasps and looks from others when she delivered her messages. 

Katie loved her mom and dad deeply, they were Katie’s biggest fan, greatest support, and provided 

lifelong loving care. She loved siblings through inevitable growing pains and she loved 

her nieces and nephews as her own. Katie loved her dog Quinn who proceeded Katie in death, 

and she leaves behind her fur baby Mable, that will bring comfort to all during this time. 

We end this memorial of Katie with one of her favorites, a country music hit by her favorite 

artist “Days go by, I can feel them flyin’ like a hand out the window in the wind. The cars go by, 

it’s all we’ve been given. So you better start livin’ right now. ‘Cause days go by” Keith Urban. 

Funeral services are under the arrangements are under the direction of the Mayhew-Brown 

Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life service will held at a later date at the convenience of the 

family. Condolences may be sent to the family at: www.mayhew-brownfuneralhome.com

A structure on this premises has been declared unsafe and dangerous and shall be abated by construction 

or demolition. Further Sections 109.4 and 113.2 of the 2019 Residential Code of Ohio requires: “Residential 

buildings, structures and the building equipment shall be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition...” You 

can bring the structure in compliance in one of the two following ways: 

Compliance by Construction: 

1. Submit construction documents prior to commencing construction. 

(2019 Residential Code of Ohio) 105.1 Approval Required. 

Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or change the occupancy of 

a residential building or structure, or portion thereof, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or 

replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing system, other residential building service equipment, or piping 

system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make 

application to the building official and obtain the required approval. 

Compliance by Demolition: 

1. The removal of all structure and non-structural members, including the foundation from the site. 

2. The filling in of all excavations relating to the removal of said structure. 

3. The removal of all storage or debris in conjunction with the demolition process. 

4. The safe and adequate elimination of all utility connections. 

5. Secure necessary demolition permits and approvals. 

This order must be complied with within thirty (30) days from the date of order. Failure to comply with this 

Order will result in demolition of the property. Additionally, any person who fails to obey an order of the 

Building Official is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined not more than $300.00 for each offense as 

provided in Ohio Revised Code Sections 307.37 and 307.99 (c). Each day during which a violation of these 

regulations occurs shall be a separate offense. 

In accordance with Chapter 119 of the ORC, you have 30 days from the mailing date of appeal the adjudication 

order. To request an appeal hearing, submit and complete an Residential Building Appeal application along 

with a check or money order for $200.00 made payable to:

Further, as provided in O.R.C. Section 307.37 in the event any building is being maintained in violation of 

these regulations, the City Council, the Prosecuting Attorney for the City of London, or the Building Official 

or any adjacent neighboring owner who would be especially damaged by such violations may institute a 

suite for injunction, abatement or other appropriate action to prevent such a violation.
