Farm Science Review<br />
still on for this year<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
The show will go on.<br />
So reports Nick Zachrich, manager of the<br />
Farm Science Review, the annual agricultural<br />
trade show and education event that<br />
attracts more than 100,000 visitors to Ohio<br />
State University’s (OSU) Molly Caren Agricultural<br />
Center in London.<br />
The Farm Science Review grounds suffered<br />
damages in the tornado/storm event<br />
that passed through <strong>Madison</strong> County on<br />
Feb. 28. The electrical infrastructure and<br />
several buildings were impacted.<br />
“All of the electrical infrastructure is privately<br />
owned by the university. We will be<br />
repairing it over the next few months,”<br />
Zachrich said.<br />
The grounds are home to a mix of buildings<br />
owned by OSU and by private entities.<br />
Of the buildings struck by the tornado, most<br />
incurred minor or cosmetic damages,<br />
Zachrich said. A handful were damaged<br />
badly enough they will need to be demolished.<br />
“A lot of our partners were affected.<br />
Most have been to the site to review their<br />
assets and any damage,” he said.<br />
Despite the repair work that needs to be<br />
done, the <strong>2024</strong> Farm Science Review will<br />
take place as scheduled Sept. 17-19.<br />
“We have no concerns about holding the<br />
event. There will be minor impacts of certain<br />
exhibitors being in different locations<br />
than usual. Otherwise, it will be business as<br />
usual for us,” Zachrich said.<br />
He noted that the companies that have<br />
private-owned building on-site are having<br />
their buildings reviewed by engineers for<br />
structural integrity.<br />
“So, everyone coming to the show can be<br />
assured all of the structures will be as safe<br />
as they have been in the past,” he said.<br />
Zachrich noted that the site’s farming operations<br />
and field demonstration areas were<br />
unaffected by the storm.<br />
He also noted that other events slated to<br />
take place on the grounds this summer will<br />
indeed take place.<br />
“At first, we were unsure, but we have<br />
reached out to all of those event organizers<br />

City to install ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
London city council recently passed legislation<br />
to start the process of installing 340<br />
sidewalk ramps that are compliant with the<br />
Americans with Disabilities Act. The project<br />
will cover every corner in the city that requires<br />
a ramp.<br />
The legislation, passed unanimously on<br />
<strong>March</strong> 7, allows Rex Castle, London’s<br />
safety-service director, to advertise for bids<br />
and enter into contract for the project. The<br />
work must be completed by the end of <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
Making the project possible is a $204,000<br />
grant from the Ohio Department of Developmental<br />
Disabilities. The grant will cover<br />
the entire cost of the project, with no out-ofpocket<br />
money from the city. The <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County Board of Developmental Disabilities<br />
is administering the grant.<br />
“Access has always been on the forefront<br />
of this administration. This is another example<br />
of working with different entities to<br />
make London more accessible for all people,”<br />
said Mayor Patrick Closser.<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County was one of 67 counties<br />
in Ohio that received funding earlier this<br />
year to make improvements that support individuals<br />
with developmental disabilities<br />
and their families. A total of $14.9 million<br />
in American Rescue Plan Act money was<br />
distributed across the state.<br />
Other approved legislation<br />
• Early in the year each year, council approves<br />
legal fund transfers as part of the<br />
previous year’s budget resolution. Council<br />
approved this year’s transfers at the <strong>March</strong><br />
7 meeting. Among them was $200,000 to<br />
help cover fire department operations.<br />
• Council approved legislation to set<br />
aside $25,000 for this year’s fireworks display<br />
which will take place on July 3. This<br />
marks an increase of $5,000 over last year’s<br />
allocation for fireworks.<br />
• Council authorized the Board of Public<br />
Utilities to advertise for bids and enter into<br />
a contract to lease the approximately 160<br />
acres of farmland it owns adjacent to the<br />
city sanitation department at the end of<br />
Jenkinson Avenue.<br />
• In a 6-1 vote with Brent McDaniels<br />
casting the “no” vote, council approved setting<br />
aside $45,000 to cover the cost of finish<br />
work on the lot on Walnut Street where the<br />
old community center was located. The work<br />
will include applying fill dirt, grading, and<br />
seeding the lot.<br />
• Council approved a measure that allows<br />
the mayor or safety-service director to<br />
apply for grants without seeking council approval<br />
to do so. This allows for speedy response<br />
to short grant deadlines. The<br />
administration still needs to seek council’s<br />
approval to accept any grants they are<br />
awarded.<br />
Miscellaneous<br />
• Council member Michael Norman is<br />
hosting a community meeting at 7 p.m.<br />
<strong>March</strong> 27 at town hall, 20 S. Walnut St. The<br />
meeting is informal and open to anyone who<br />
wants to talk about any topic pertaining to<br />
the city.<br />
• Council member Shannon Treynor said<br />
she has started conversations with Jennifer<br />
Hitt, the city’s law director, about the possibility<br />
of instituting a municipal transient<br />
occupancy tax, also known as a hotel tax.<br />
She said it could be a new source of revenue<br />
for the city.<br />
Mt. Sterling Museum back open for the season<br />
After its usual closure in January and<br />
February, the Mount Sterling Community<br />
Museum is back open for the season. The<br />
museum is located in the lower level of<br />
Mount Sterling Public Library, 60 W.<br />
Columbus St.<br />
The current display features photos and<br />
information on the history and growth of<br />
Mount Sterling from 1845 to 2000. The display<br />
is divided into three parts: 1845-1899,<br />
1900-1949, and 1950-2000. The photos show<br />
citizens, businesses, schools, government,<br />
and more. The display will be up until at<br />
least April 30.<br />
The museum is packed with a wide array<br />
of historical artifacts and information. One<br />
of the museum’s most recent acquisitions is<br />
the executive desk Governor John Bricker<br />
used while he was governor of Ohio from<br />
1939 to 1945.<br />
Bricker graduated from Mount Sterling<br />
High School in 1911. He then earned a law<br />
degree at The Ohio State University. After<br />
practicing law for many years, he served as<br />
Ohio’s attorney general from 1933 to 1939.<br />
Bricker was a Republican candidate for<br />
president in 1944. At the national convention,<br />
Thomas Dewey of New York was chosen<br />
as the presidential candidate, and<br />
Bricker accepted the vice presidential candidate<br />
position. They lost the election to<br />
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.<br />
“The desk is quite impressive,” said Steve<br />
Chambers, Mount Sterling Community Museum<br />
director.<br />
The museum acquired the desk in August<br />
of last year. For many years, it had<br />
been in the Galloway home of John and<br />
Julia Bricker. John is Bricker’s grandson.<br />
The couple moved to a smaller home last fall<br />
and felt the best place for the desk was the<br />
museum, Chamber said.<br />
Museum hours are 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday,<br />
Wednesday, and Friday. Special hours<br />
can be accommodated on request. Call (740)<br />
869-9305 or email mtsterlingcommunitymuseum@gmail.com<br />

Tolles using grant for electrical and HVAC programs<br />
Tolles Career and Technical Center was among 56 Ohio schools<br />
to be awarded a state-funded Career Technical Education Equipment<br />
Grant earlier this month.<br />
The $530,000 grant allows Tolles to purchase new robotics and<br />
construction-related equipment to ensure its students get first-hand<br />
experience with the latest technology.<br />
“New technologies are transforming the economy, and to prepare<br />
students for those careers, we need to invest in the machinery, technologies,<br />
and training that educators need,” said Ohio Lt. Governor<br />
Jon Husted when announcing the grant recipients with Gov. Mike<br />
DeWine on <strong>March</strong> 4.<br />
“Helping students graduate career-ready, equipped with the<br />
high-demand skills local businesses are seeking — and paying topdollar<br />
to get — has been a hallmark of Tolles since its inception almost<br />
50 years ago,” said Tolles Superintendent Dr. Todd Hoadley.<br />
“These funds will benefit our students by providing top-notch equipment<br />
for them to work with and set them up for future success.”<br />
Hoadley said $450,000 of the grant funds will be allocated evenly<br />
between the school’s construction/electrical program and construction/HVAC<br />
program to purchase new equipment.<br />
The remaining $80,000 will be used to purchase VEX robotics<br />
equipment to be distributed across Tolles’ career awareness satellite<br />
programs which currently reside in the rural associate districts of<br />
<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains, London, West Jefferson, Jonathan “Investing in our schools is an investment into our<br />
Alder and Fairbanks Local.<br />
students’ futures,” DeWine said of the grant program<br />
“This funding allows us to welcome even more students<br />
who are eager to dive into the electrical and budget. “Allowing more schools to purchase equipment<br />
which was included in the <strong>2024</strong>-25 state operating<br />
HVAC fields,” Hoadley said. “It’s definitely a gamechanger<br />
for us at Tolles and the future of career techni-<br />
state up for success.”<br />
so they can train more students will set them and our<br />
cal training.”<br />

The <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains High School girls’ basketball program held their 2nd Annual Hoops for a Cure to raise<br />
breast cancer awareness. The event took place during the Eagles’ game against Greeneview and included<br />
a silent auction and 50/50 raffle. Representatives of the team recently presented a donation of $2,100 to<br />
the <strong>Madison</strong> Health Foundation’s Mona Flax Breast Cancer Endowment Fund: Coach Hope Fetherolf,<br />
Cheyenne Pearce, Fenja Berner, Kenzie Vallery, Sadie Mason, Aniston Cordell, Lyla Coil, Coach Aaron Stewart,<br />
Mackenzie Reeves, Cressa Williams, Claire Mason, Carly Kelly, Ariel Stout, and Ginger Kronk, vice president<br />
of development at <strong>Madison</strong> Health. The fund provides assistance to women in the community for the<br />
detection and treatment of breast cancer. Through generous donors, the fund currently provides screening<br />
mammograms at no out-of-pocket cost.

Pre-planning final wishes<br />
is a healing gift to family<br />
Losing a loved one is a crushing experience.<br />
It knocks the wind out of you so much<br />
it’s hard to think. It’s ironic that when we are<br />
grief stricken and overwhelmed, we must<br />
make some of the most difficult decisions like<br />
how to honor our loved one, one final time.<br />
Writing an obituary, planning a service,<br />
and choosing a monument can seem unwieldy<br />
PAID ADVERTISING<br />
Service aids<br />
with process<br />
of grieving<br />
Should I have a funeral? A memorial service?<br />
A celebration of life? While holding a formal<br />
service may seem like an outdated ritual<br />
to many, it can hold many benefits for friends,<br />
family, and others left to mourn a loss.<br />
Dr. Alan Wolfelt, a renowned author and<br />
expert on grief, identifies six benefits a service<br />
can offer to those who are mourning:<br />
• acknowledgement of the reality of death;<br />
• encouraging grief expression;<br />
• offering testimony to honor the life of the<br />
deceased;<br />
• allowing for faith expression;<br />
• providing support to those grieving;<br />
• offering hope.<br />
Each grief journey is unique, and while<br />
everyone will start and progress at their own<br />
pace, often times the start of the mourning<br />
process can be the most difficult part. Having<br />
a set time together to remember a loved one<br />
lost, gather support from family, friends, and<br />
the community, and being able to express your<br />
emotions in a safe space can all aid in starting<br />
your grief journey off on the right foot.<br />
Keeping in mind that not every service is<br />
religious, remembrance and honoring a life<br />
can take many different forms. Whether this<br />
is a traditional casketed service, a memorial<br />
service for cremation, or even a celebration<br />
of life, having that designated time can do<br />
wonders in helping heal from a loss. What<br />
that service looks like is entirely up to you<br />
and your family and what seems right to<br />
honor your loved one.<br />
While losing a loved one is never easy,<br />
having this experience can act as a rite of passage<br />
prescribing a start to healing and transforming<br />
our relationship with our lost loved<br />
one into one full of hope for the future.<br />
in those moments. What if you never discussed<br />
those things? What if you are not sure<br />
what they’d like, or your family members disagree?<br />
What if the costs are not within your<br />
budget? These challenges could be eliminated<br />
by preplanning.<br />
According to the National Funeral Directors<br />
Association, the median cost of a traditional<br />
funeral today is $7,640, before<br />
cemetery and headstone costs. Inclusive of<br />
them, it can be a $10,000 investment or more.<br />
Making final plans is a wonderful gift to a<br />
family. It not only protects loved ones from<br />
unplanned expenses, it takes the guesswork<br />
and stress out of making important decisions<br />
during an emotional time. Today, it is possible<br />
to plan, design, and pay for everything up<br />
front from the service, burial, and headstone.<br />
In fact, companies like Modlich Monument<br />
Company can produce a headstone in advance,<br />
adding final touches at the passing of<br />
a loved one.<br />
Pre-planning gives the family time to research<br />
options, talk and include personal details<br />
that adds a special touch. Pre-planning<br />
also locks in the cost and removes the financial<br />
burden from survivors, a gift they will<br />
truly appreciate.<br />

Consider part-time work<br />
As enticing as unending free time may<br />
seem, some retirees find it difficult to be entirely<br />
free from the responsibility of working.<br />
Inflation can drive up the costs of living,<br />
meaning that seniors who were once able to<br />
afford a certain retirement lifestyle may no<br />
longer enjoy that hard-earned luxury. Others<br />
may miss the daily opportunities to socialize<br />
that working provides or the way problemsolving<br />
on the job stimulates the brain. But<br />
even retirees who miss working may not be<br />
ready to return to the workforce full-time.<br />
Part-time jobs can be an ideal fit for mature<br />
workers. Here’s a look at some part-time positions<br />
that could be a good fit for older adults.<br />
Retail sales associate<br />
Working in retail opens seniors up to an<br />
array of responsibilities and scenarios. Jobs<br />
may include greeting customers, making<br />
sales, putting out inventory, and helping customers<br />
select merchandise. Many stores offer<br />
part-time employees flexible hours.<br />
Customer service representative<br />
A customer service representative is tasked<br />
with helping customers solve problems and<br />
ensuring customer satisfaction. He or she may<br />
work in a traditional office or store location,<br />
or answer calls and resolve issues from home.<br />
School positions<br />
Retirees may want to consider jobs working<br />
in schools or in related capacities. Driving a<br />
school bus is an option if people are willing to<br />
undergo the proper training and licensing to operate<br />
this type of vehicle. Seniors also may consider<br />
working as lunchroom aides or lunch<br />
service providers, crossing guards, substitute<br />
teachers, and paraprofessionals. School employees<br />
will only work a few hours during the<br />
day. They’ll also enjoy many holidays off, as<br />
well as summer vacations.<br />

Hobbies beneficial<br />
to health, wellness<br />
The value of hobbies is undeniable. A study published in the Journal<br />
of Occupational and Organizational Psychology found that employees<br />
who engaged in creative hobbies outside of work were more creative<br />
on work projects and had a better attitude on the job, while a separate<br />
study published in Psychosomatic Medicine reported that individuals<br />
who engaged in enjoyable leisure activities had lower blood pressure<br />
and a smaller waist circumference.<br />
The myriad benefits of hobbies is good news for seniors, many of<br />
whom have more time for leisure activities. Whether seniors are retired<br />
or still working but free from the responsibilities of parenting, the following<br />
are some fun and engaging hobbies to fill that free time.<br />
• Cooking: Years spent hustling and bustling through the daily<br />
grind of personal and professional obligations might have forced individuals<br />
to embrace cooking that emphasized convenience over culinary<br />
skill. Now that there is more time to embrace one’s inner chef,<br />
seniors can look to cooking classes or take the self-taught route and<br />
purchase a new cookbook filled with delicious recipes. A well-cooked,<br />
homemade meal can provide a sense of accomplishment and affords<br />
seniors an opportunity to control the ingredients in the foods they eat,<br />
which can be important for individuals with health-related dietary restrictions.<br />
• Writing: Many successful individuals have penned their memoirs<br />
after long, notable careers and lives. While individuals need not follow<br />
suit with the goal of making their memoirs public, writing can be a<br />
great way for seniors to document their lives and the lives of their families.<br />
Interest in genealogy has risen considerably in recent years, as<br />
easily accessible websites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com have<br />
made it easier than ever for individuals to learn where they came from.<br />
Seniors can contextualize the information provided by genealogy websites<br />
by writing about their personal experiences and sharing what they<br />
know about the lives of their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other<br />
family members.<br />
• Gardening: Seniors looking for hobbies that get them out in the<br />
great outdoors need look no further than their own backyards. Gardening<br />
can benefit the body in many ways. According to the Mayo<br />
Clinic Health System, gardening can burn as many calories as working<br />
out in the gym. In addition, individuals who grow their own fruits and<br />
vegetables are more likely to include those foods in their own diets,<br />
saving them money at the grocery store and increasing their intake of<br />
nutrient-rich foods.<br />
Jeffersonian Senior Citizens will meet <strong>March</strong> 26 for special bingo event<br />
The Jeffersonian Senior Citizen Center, 174 E. Main<br />
St., West Jefferson, usually meets from noon to 2 p.m. the<br />
first and third Tuesdays of each month. This month is an<br />
exception; the center will meet on <strong>March</strong> 26 for a meeting<br />
white elephant bingo. The center will return to its usual<br />
schedule next month.

Women’s History - Honoring<br />
The Past and Casting Forward<br />
Dear Neighbor,<br />
As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's imperative<br />
that we not only reflect on the incredible<br />
accomplishments of women throughout history<br />
but also take concrete steps to ensure that<br />
progress continues. We stand on the shoulders of<br />
trailblazers who fought tirelessly for women’s<br />
rights. Our duty as a community is to honor their<br />
legacy by actively supporting and uplifting<br />
women today.<br />
Reflecting on the past year, I am proud to have<br />
sponsored legislation like SB 93 and co-sponsored<br />
HB 35, which directly address pressing issues<br />
facing women in our society. These<br />
initiatives represent crucial steps toward improving<br />
maternal health and seeking justice for survivors<br />
of sexual abuse. However, our work is far<br />
from over.<br />
To truly advance the cause of women's rights, we<br />
must remain vigilant and proactive in our efforts.<br />
It's not enough to simply acknowledge the<br />
achievements of women; we must actively work<br />
to dismantle the barriers that still exist. This<br />
means advocating for policies that promote gender<br />
equality, providing support and resources for<br />
women in all aspects of their lives, and fostering<br />
a culture that values and respects the contributions<br />
of women.<br />
As leaders, we have a responsibility to lead by example<br />
and create opportunities for women to<br />
thrive. By championing the advancement of<br />
women, we not only honor the legacy of those<br />
who came before us and ensure a brighter future<br />
for generations to come.<br />
But supporting women isn't just the responsibility<br />
of those in positions of power – it's something<br />
everyone can do. Whether through simple acts of<br />
encouragement, advocating for equal opportunities,<br />
or challenging stereotypes and biases, we<br />
all have a role in creating a more equitable<br />
society.<br />
So let us use Women's History Month as a catalyst<br />
for change – a reminder of our progress and the<br />
work that still lies ahead. Together, we can build<br />
a legacy of support and empowerment for<br />
women that will be remembered for generations.<br />
Results matter, so let’s work together. Subscribe<br />
