Safety updates in 

the works after 

incident on bus 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Madison-Plains leaders plan to update the school district’s safety 

protocols and procedures following an incident in which a student 

found a magazine for a weapon under a school bus seat. 

“We have had several meetings among our administrative team 

and with law enforcement to discuss the situation that occurred and 

what the learning opportunities are there,” said school district Superintendent 

Chad Eisler at the Sept. 12 school board meeting. 

“We are reaching out to experts and leaders in the field to find 

out what they would recommend. We are looking into what best 

practices are, and we will be updating our protocols and procedures 

and providing training to our staff on these updated protocols and 

procedures.” 

The incident occurred on the afternoon of Aug. 31 on a school bus 

transporting students in grades K-12 home from school. According 

to information Eisler posted to the district’s Facebook page the day 

of the incident, a student found the magazine for a weapon under 

one of the bus seats and gave it to the bus driver. The driver pulled 

over to report the matter to school authorities. The district school 

resource officer went to the scene to assist and start an investigation. 

No weapon was found on the bus. The students and their belongings 

were not inspected at that time. Students who were on the 

bus were picked up by their parents or 

guardians at the location where the bus 

pulled over. 

On the morning of Sept. 1, students who 

were transported to school on the same bus

were asked to exit the bus in a school parking 

and place their backpacks and bookbags 

in a row in the parking lot. A law enforcement 

K-9 officer then examined the bus and 

the backpacks and bookbags. No weapons 

or ammunition were found. The K-9 officer 

also inspected hallway lockers and physical 

education lockers in the grades 7-12 building. 

The Madison-Plains administrative 

team visually inspected the hallway lockers 

at the grades K-6 building. Nothing was 

found in either inspection. 

As of Sept. 18, Eisler said no new information 

had been uncovered about the incident. 

It is not known how the magazine 

ended up on the bus or to whom it belonged. 



It was a beautiful morning for a bike ride. The skies 

were clear, and the temperature was crisp but comfortable. 

A food truck serving coffee was percolating in the 

parking lot. At the shelter house, volunteers were laying 

out t-shirts and medals and taking registrations. 

Not far away, more volunteers were setting up a facepainting 

station and scoping out a spot for a photo 

booth. All the while, people were pulling in with bicycles 

in or attached to their vehicles. 

It was the start of the 5th Annual David Flowers 

Memorial Bike Tour, held Sept. 16 on the Prairie 

Grass Trail in London. The start/finish line was located 

at the trailhead behind the Madison County

Senior Center. Participants chose from 10-, 20-, and 

30-mile distances for the out-and-back ride. 

Organizer Penny Flowers welcomed riders to the 

event which honors her late husband who passed 

away in a car accident in 2018. David Flowers had 

been a pastor at London Grace. He was known for his 

quiet leadership, humor, and love of sports. 

“He just was a giving person, and he was all about 

family,” Penny said. 

Penny chose to honor David’s memory with a bike 

tour because he had started riding with his sons-inlaw 

as a way to bond with them and encourage them. 

She chose to commit the tour’s proceeds to a college 

scholarship because David had been looking to get his 

degree in ministry.

“We want to help others be able to 

achieve what he could not,” she said.

High School graduate, is putting the 

$1,000 award to use as a freshman majoring

Penny said that in the coming years she 

hopes to add a second charitable component

to helping families with multiple children 

cover registration for youth sports. 

“It can be expensive if you have more 

than one kid involved,” Penny said. 

The bike tour takes place the third Saturday 

of September, putting it near David’s 

birthday (Sept. 17).

Need for bus drivers continues at Madison-Plains 



Madison-Plains Local Schools continues to seek applicants 

for bus driver and substitute bus driver positions. 

At their regular meeting on Sept. 11, school board 

members accepted the resignation of a person who 

trained to be a bus driver but then decided the job 

wasn’t for them. School board president Mark Mason 

asked Superintendent Chad Eisler for an update on the 

district’s bus driver situation. 

“We’re doing OK. We have enough to drive the routes 

we have right now. If we have an absence, our transportation 

supervisor or our mechanic drives the route,” Eisler 

said, adding that the district recently posted job openings 

for additional bus drivers and substitute drivers. 

“It remains a need. I have said it before: there is a 

national shortage. It is a difficult job, and we need good 

people to do it,” he said. 

In other discussion, Eisler reported that progress is 

being made on updates to the high school auditorium. 

The district has placed an order to replace all of the 

seats, several of which have broken over the years. The 

project also will include updates to the lighting and carpeting, 

as well as a new coat of paint on the walls. 

“The auditorium has been in need of updating for a 

long time. We believe the time is now to do that,” Eisler 

said. 

During the business portion of the meeting, the 

school board approved several field trips: 

• FFA Chapter members in grades 10-12 attended 

the Farm Science Review in London on Sept. 20 to tour 

the 100-acre exhibit area, see new agriculture-related 

products and machinery, and attend educational sessions 

on a variety of topics. 

• Students in grades 10-11 who are in good standing 

will participate in a trip to Philadelphia and New York 

Help sought to sort toys and gifts 

H.E.L.P. House Community Outreach is looking for 

volunteers to help sort toys and gifts for its annual 

Christmas Outreach. Volunteers are needed on Oct. 9 

beginning at 8 a.m. Adults, teens, and church and civic 

groups are invited to participate. Please RSVP by calling 

H.E.L.P. House at (740) 852-1980 or via email at 

helphouseoutreach@gmail.com. 

Upcoming outreaches include: Coat Outreach (Oct. 

21), Thanksgiving Meal Outreach (Nov. 18), and the 

Christmas Outreach and Holiday Elves Program (Dec. 

16). The community is encouraged to consider helping 

to prepare for these events, as well. 

H.E.L.P. House is celebrating its 25th year as an outreach 

agency serving individuals and families in need. 

Monetary donations of $25 or more will help provide 

food, clothing, school supplies, and diapers for the more 

than 2,000 individuals and 500 families the organization 

serves each month. 

City Nov. 8-11. They will learn about the Enlightenment, the Revolution, 

immigration, urbanization, industry, and 9/11. 

• Students in grades 7-8 will travel to Bellefontaine May 15-17 

next year for Camp Cotubic where they will engage in outdoor education 

and programs designed to boost social skills and science 

skills. 

The school board’s next regular meeting will take place at 7 p.m.

HAFNER 

Janet Mae Hafner, born on Dec. 28, 1955, in Garden City, Michigan, 

to Donald Eugene and Margaret M. (Williams) Bryant, peacefully 

passed away on July 5, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones in 

her home. She was 67 years old. Janet was the beloved wife of the 

late William Hafner, and her memory will forever shine in the 

hearts of those who knew and loved her. 

Janet found joy in life’s simple pleasures, cherishing moments 

spent chatting with friends and family, savoring snacks, and creating 

beautiful memories with her friends, nieces, and nephews. She 

possessed an uncanny ability to touch people’s lives in a positive 

and meaningful way, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the 

privilege of knowing her. 

Janet was the loving mother of Tina Watkins, Joshua (Shawn) 

Watkins, Brian Watkins, and Magnum (Jeff Webb) White. She was 

also a cherished grandmother to Joshua, Alicia, Cainin, and Isabella, 

and a great-grandmother to Gabriella. Her nurturing and 

caring spirit enriched the lives of her family, providing love and support 

that will be remembered forever. 

Janet leaves behind her dear sister, Pamela (Chuck) Mays, along 

with extended family members and special friends, Kim (Eric) 

Adams and Sandy (Jr) Johnson, who were like family to her. 

Janet was preceded in death by her siblings, Mike, Linda, and 

her twin sister, Nancy, as well as her nephew, Chad, niece Lisa, 

niece Donielle, great-nephew Dylan, and 

great-great-nieces Lakeynn and Raelynn. 

Their memories will be forever treasured 

alongside Janet’s in the hearts of her family. 

Family, friends, and all whose lives were 

touched by Janet are invited to pay their respects 

at 10 a.m. Oct. 7 at Eberle-Fisher Funeral 

Home and Crematory, London, Ohio. 

Following the service, Janet will be laid to 

rest in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in West Jefferson, 

Ohio. 

Janet Mae Hafner’s presence was a beacon 

of love, joy, and positivity, and her

Rotary Student of the Month: London 

Always striving to improve 

Alex Homan 

The London Rotary Club is pleased to 

honor senior Gracie Stingle as Madison- 

Plains High School’s September Student of 

the Month. 

Students of the month are selected by 

school administrators based on their academic 

and extracurricular achievement and 

positive character. 

Gracie has a 4.2 grade point average and 

she is ranked first in her class. Her favorite 

course is animal and plant science, one of 

the agricultural education courses at Madison-Plains. 

Gracie has been in FFA all four 

years of high school, earning her Greenhand 

and Chapter degrees. Additionally, 

during her junior year, she was awarded first place in 

equine science placement for FFA. 

Gracie has earned her varsity letter as a member of 

the soccer team. She is a three-year member of Key 

Club, and she has been in National Honor Society since 

her sophomore year. 

Outside of school, Gracie rides horses competitively 

in the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), an 

activity in which she has participated for eight years. 

The past two years, she has been Reserve World Champion 

in the 14-18 age division, among many other 

achievements. She also was elected as an NRHA youth 

delegate for two years in a row. 

When asked which Madison-Plains staff member inspires 

her, Gracie said, “A school staff member who is 

an inspiration to me is Miss (Molly) Niese because she 

is a great person in every aspect. I’ll start with her 

teaching skills: I do not know a teacher that better lays 

out the format of her class and the lesson plans. Even 

the toughest topics within her subjects can be mastered 

by the way she teaches. She is a teacher who truly 

member who inspires him, Alex named Roy 

Greenlee, Spanish teacher, instructional 

coach, and high school tennis coach. 

“Mr. Greenlee has encouraged me to 

be myself and to be a better person while in 

class, on the tennis court, and outside of 

school,” Alex said. 

About Alex, Greenlee said, “I have 

worked with Alex both as a coach and 

teacher the past five years. He is not only 

extremely dedicated to participating in 

sports and academics but truly strives to 

improve his skills through hard work and 

constant revision. He is very open to feedback 

and not afraid to challenge himself if it means that 

improvements are possible. Alex also participated in our 

trip abroad to Costa Rica this past summer. He showed 

a deep appreciation for the culture and was a great addition 

to the group.” 

Alex plans to attend a four-year college and is undecided 

at this time. Alex is the son of Marvin and Jodi 

Homan of London. 

The London Rotary Club has a proud history dating 

back to 1929. It is a member of Rotary International, a 

volunteer organization of 1.2 million businesses and 

professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian 

service and help build good will and peace. 

Rotary Student of the Month: Madison-Plains 

irsty for knowledge 

Gracie Stingle 

teaches. She will help anyone who comes in 

to ask for help on a topic, or even for questions 

that do not pertain to a subject being 

taught in class. 

“She knows how much support to give 

her students—not too much to allow them to 

do the thinking and learning, but enough to 

allow them to fully figure out the concept. 

The passion that she has for her kids, animals, 

and this world is a level that I seek to 

have. The selflessness that she has to teach 

her students and the dedication to her job 

will really generate great people that will 

one day make a difference in London and 

beyond.” 

Regarding Gracie, Niese said, “Gracie is an exemplary 

student within the Madison-Plains community. 

What inspires me most about Gracie is her capacity to 

advocate for herself, as well as her relentless quest for 

knowledge. Gracie has a long list of positive attributes, 

but I believe these two qualities will bring her much 

success after graduating from Madison-Plains.” 

After graduation, Gracie plans to attend the University 

of South Carolina, as she has verbally committed 

to riding on their equestrian team. She plans to pursue 

a bachelor’s degree in environmental science, minoring 

in both business and psychology. From there, she is considering 

transferring to get a master’s degree. She 

would love for her future career to fulfill her craving to 

help the environment. 

Gracie is the daughter of Aaron and Nicole Stingle. 

The London Rotary Club has a proud history dating 

back to 1929. It is a member of Rotary International, a

Active adult living is carefree and maintenance-free 

Through technology, diet, fitness and medicine, 

adults are active, living healthier and 

longer. Today’s consumer wants choices that 

meet and exceed their lifestyle expectations. 

After age 55+, you may be working part-time 

or full-time and still managing all the responsibilities 

of home ownership. At some point, you 

may begin actively exploring options for a simpler 

lifestyle that affords more time to pursue 

travel, hobbies, and freedom to be on the go! 

As you become an empty nester, is there a 

point where you no longer want to be responsible 

for mowing the lawn or shoveling the 

snow? Are you ready to let someone else 

worry about the furnace or hot water tank issues? 

Active Adult Living is the solution you 

have been seeking. 

Active adult communities offer the space 

and environment for a socially engaging resident 

experience. An active lifestyle is rich 

with social engagement, physical fitness, intellectual 

and educational endeavors, creative, 

regular programming, and entertainment 

events are directed by residents or led by your 

friends and neighbors in the community. 

While Active Adult Communities are new 

to central Ohio, it is a growing segment of 

multi-family residential properties across the 

country. If you have not explored being a 

renter by choice, this 55+ lifestyle option is 

something to consider. While you might want 

to live in the community where you raised 

your family, you can now opt for a lifestyle 

solution that is convenient, maintenance-free, 

carefree, and fun. 

These communities are meant to provide 

all the comforts of a single-family home with 

the convenience of being in a walkable neighborhood 

or a short drive from shopping, dining, 

entertainment, and healthcare. Such 

offerings fit with active adult consumers’ priorities, 

which can include housing accessibility, 

affordability, ease of maintenance, 

outdoor spaces for relaxation, proximity to 

shopping and activities, social interaction and 

connectivity and access to support and 

concierge services.

Preplanning 

offers peace 

of mind 

Continuously serving the community since 

1908, Eberle-Fisher Funeral Home and Crematory 

in London offers a knowledgeable and caring 

approach to not only at-need funeral 

arrangements but also for prearranged services. 

Preplanning your funeral, memorial service, 

or celebration of life can be one of the 

most valuable gifts to your loved ones and to 

yourself. There is an old saying: “The palest 

ink is better than the best memory.” 

While offering peace of mind knowing that 

you are looking out for the needs of yourself 

and your family, preplanning your services allows 

you to make the important decisions 

without the added burden of grief and sense 

of emergency that comes with death. When a 

service is not preplanned, grieving family 

members can make hasty and impulsive 

choices, and often are left to speculate regarding 

wishes of the deceased. 

Preplanning allows you to make thoughtful 

choices that are meaningful, personalized, and 

prudent, and confirms that your wishes will 

be honored. If desired, prearranging also allows 

options for prepaying which not only reduces 

financial burden, but also provides 

guaranteed pricing until services are needed. 

For any questions, information regarding 

preplanning, or to schedule a time with our directors, 

please feel free to contact us at (740) 

852-2345.

County Senior Center is a vibrant hub of activity 

There was a time when being a “senior” 

meant sitting in the proverbial rocking chair 

and watching the world go by. 

“Today’s seniors aren’t watching the world 

go by. They’re out there living life–going on 

trips, going out to dinner, hanging out with 

friends,” said Misty Bradley, executive director 

of the Madison County Senior Center 

where anyone over the age of 55 can be a 

member and enjoy a wide range of activities. 

“Why 55? Well, it seems like a great age 

to decide what kind of older person you want 

to be–the ‘then’ senior or the ‘now’ senior,” 

Bradley said. “Personally, I plan on being the 

‘now’ senior and hope you join us so we can 

help you be that senior, too.” 

Located at 280 W. High St. in London, the 

Madison County Senior Center is a vibrant resource 

for recreational and social activities, as 

well as services aimed at helping seniors to 

live independently for as long as possible. 

Membership is just $15 per year for singles 

or $25 per year for couples. Members can stop 

in Monday-Friday to exercise on their own in 

the nicely appointed workout room or join 

group sessions for aerobics, yoga, and chair 

volleyball. Other activities include quilting, 

billiards, painting classes, cards (bridge and 

euchre), movies, and chimes.

Tips for strength training 

A balanced diet and exercise, which includes 

a combination of aerobic activities and 

strength training, is necessary to maintain 

long-term health. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention, regular physical activity 

is one of the most important things older 

adults can do to protect their overall health. 

Exercise helps to delay or prevent many of the 

conditions that come with age. Adults ages 65 

and older should aim for the recommended 

150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity 

activity, such as brisk walking, and at least 

two days of activities that strengthen muscles. 

When it comes to muscle strengthening, seniors 

can follow these safety guidelines as they 

embark on their strength-training journeys: 

• Speak with a healthcare provider first. 

Get the green light to proceed with an exercise 

regimen before beginning by having a discussion 

with your general practitioner about your 

fitness goals. Your doctor can recommend 

strategies that are safe and point out any exercises 

that may compromise your overall health. 

• Master basic exercises first. Anyone 

new to strength training, which is sometimes 

known as resistance training, can start out 

slowly, even using just body weight, to provide 

resistance. Resistance exercises can include 

squats, crunches, modified pushups, 

planks, and lunges. 

• Graduate to resistance bands. When 

you're ready to move on to something else, 

consider resistance bands as an alternative to 

free weights. The bands can help you develop 

good form before introducing weight. Good 

form is key to avoiding injury. 

• Work with a trainer. Working with a certified 

personal trainer can help you learn how 

to use free weights and strength-training machines 

correctly. A trainer also can create a 

routine that includes the right number of sets 

and repetitions to gradually build and maintain 

muscle mass. If you decide against hiring 

a trainer, gym staff members may guide you 

through equipment and demonstrate proper 

form. 

• Exercise with a friend. Strength training 

with a friend or family member can provide 

motivation and keep you on target to meet 

your goals. 

• Build up gradually. Your first strength 

session should only last 10 to 15 minutes. 

This enables you to gauge soreness. Wait until 

soreness abates before beginning your next 

session if you are new to strength training. 

Strength exercises are a vital part of maintaining 

health as a senior. Such exercises help 

maintain muscle mass and also improve balance 

and bone health. 

tailing special programs and events. Group 

trips to dinner theaters, restaurants, museums, 

ball games, shopping centers, and historical 

locations are especially popular. The center 

also coordinates multi-day trips to destinations 

in the United States and other countries. 

The cafe is another great amenity and is 

open to the public. The cafe serves hot lunches 

Monday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The cost 

per meal is $6 for diners who are 55 or older 

and $6.50 for diners who are under 55. 

Services available to seniors who are 60 or 

older include the adult day center, assistance 

with utility payments when funds are available, 

and transportation. Drivers can transport 

seniors to just about anywhere they need to go, 

from doctor appointments to the grocery store. 

The center also offers diabetes, grief, and 

Alzheimer’s disease support groups, as well 

as a wellness clinic. 

“Every month at the end of my director’s 

letter, I say thank-you for the laughter I hear 

here every day,” Bradley said. “This place 

brings so much joy to so many seniors. It is 

my great honor to be the director of the Madison 

County Senior Center.”
