Controlling<br />
traffic on<br />
Main Street<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
The city of London is working to make<br />
certain downtown roadways safer.<br />
One of the focus areas is the wide stretch<br />
of North Main Street between High Street<br />
and Park Avenue. At a council meeting in<br />
late March, Vincent Morse who lives on<br />
North High Street expressed concern about<br />
motorists speeding and passing one another<br />
unsafely in that area. He said he has seen<br />
drivers pass on the right, instead of the left.<br />
“I know there’s a problem there,” said<br />
council member Rich Hays, who sits on<br />
council’s safety committee and works at<br />
Eberle-Fisher Funeral Home along that<br />
stretch of North Main.<br />
City leaders have been looking into possible<br />
remedies, and members of the safety<br />
committee addressed the issue at their<br />
April meeting.<br />
The speed limit there is 35 mph. While<br />
lowering the speed limit might help with<br />

The Friends of <strong>Madison</strong> County Parks & Trails teamed<br />
up with the <strong>Madison</strong> County Sheriff’s Office to put on a<br />
bike rodeo as part of Celebrate Trails Day on April 27.<br />
The event took place at the Prairie Grass Trailhead in<br />
London. Participants could bring their own bikes or borrow<br />
a bike to ride through the rodeo course where they<br />
learned about bike safety. Each participant received a<br />
free bike helmet. –<strong>Messenger</strong> photos by Pat Donahue<br />

MP seeking public input on school facilities<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
<strong>Madison</strong>-Plains Local Schools leaders are looking<br />
for feedback and input from the community regarding<br />
school facilities.<br />
The school board has scheduled a special meeting<br />
for <strong>May</strong> 22 at 7 p.m. at the high school. The purpose<br />
of the meeting is to engage the community in a conversation<br />
about facility options for the district.<br />
“We believe there’s a need facilities wise. We’re<br />
open to ideas from the community,” said Mark<br />

Mason, school board president.<br />
The district has been on the ballot three times in<br />
the past year, asking voters to pass a bond issue to<br />
build a new facility for grades K-12. All three ballot<br />
attempts failed. The vote tallies were: 911-1,134 in<br />
the <strong>May</strong> 2023 primary election; 1,209-1,835 in the<br />
November 2023 general election; and 713-1,387 in<br />
the March <strong>2024</strong> primary.<br />
The proposed project would have cost $68.6 million.<br />
The bond issue would have raised $55.3 million<br />
of that total over a period of up to 37 years. The cost<br />

to the taxpayer would have been $189 per year per<br />
$100,000 of appraised property value.<br />
Following the levy failures, the school board and<br />
district administrators are going back to the drawing<br />
board. Input from the community will help the<br />
board make decisions on how to move forward, said<br />
Superintendent Chad Eisler.<br />
The <strong>May</strong> 22 meeting is slated to take place in the<br />
high school gymnasium. The district will provide<br />
child care on-site during the meeting.

Life lessons to be learned through planting trees<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Trees are everywhere on the St. Patrick<br />
School property in London. They stand as a<br />
welcoming committee in the front yard,<br />
make a neat border alongside and beyond<br />
the baseball diamond on the acreage out<br />
back, and dot nooks and crannies in between.<br />
Most are there thanks to a tradition that<br />
started 24 years ago. With the intent of imparting<br />
life lessons to students and benefitting<br />
the environment, Dr. Jake Froning,<br />
principal at the time, initiated a tree planting<br />
ceremony to coincide with Arbor Day.<br />
Every year since, students and staff have<br />

part of the problem, Rex Castle, the city’s safety-service director,<br />
said that is not an easy thing to do. The state regulates the speed<br />
limit on High Street because it is a state highway. To change the<br />
limit, Castle said the city would have to pay<br />
for a traffic study then present a resolution<br />
from council to the Ohio Department of<br />
Transportation (ODOT) requesting a<br />
change with no guarantee the request<br />
would be granted.<br />
Instead, the city is increasing police patrols<br />
in the area to enforce the speed limit<br />
and catch drivers who are passing where<br />
they shouldn’t.<br />
Additionally, the city administration and<br />
street department are proposing a plan to<br />
add more striping, including parallel parkplanted<br />
a tree—or multiple trees—somewhere on the<br />
property. And every year, even after he retired, Froning<br />
has been there to be a part of it.<br />
At this year’s ceremony, held on April 26, the school<br />
planted an American linden which will grow to be between<br />
60 and 70 feet tall with a 40-foot branch spread.<br />
While students stood in a circle around the sapling,<br />
Froning talked to them about the concept of continuous<br />
improvement, using the yearly tree plantings as an example<br />
of how steadily doing a little bit can add up to<br />
something big.<br />
He also talked about altruism, defining it as doing<br />
something for the pure beauty of doing something good<br />
without expectation of getting something in return.<br />
Planting a tree for future generations to enjoy is an act<br />
of altruism, he said.<br />
This year’s ceremony included a welcome message<br />

ing lines along each side of the street and<br />
buffering lines between the parking spaces<br />
and the traffic lanes. Currently, the only<br />
striping on that stretch of road is a center<br />
line. The idea is to make it very clear that<br />
while the road is wide, it is only designed for<br />
two lanes of traffic.<br />
“We’re trying to make the corridor look<br />
narrower so that people aren’t inclined to pass<br />
when they’re not supposed to,” Castle said.<br />
Bill Long, street superintendent, is securing<br />
quotes for the striping work. Paint<br />
with glass particles is required to make the<br />
lines reflective at night. The project would<br />
cost roughly $30,000. The striping plan and<br />
request for funding must go through council’s<br />
service and finance committees. Ultimately,<br />
it will be up to council whether the<br />
project moves forward.<br />

Teens test knowledge in Envirothon competition<br />
By Dedra Cordle<br />
Staff Writer<br />
The annual Ohio Area IV Envirothon<br />
was held at the Gwynne Conservation Area<br />
on the Farm Science Review grounds in<br />
London on April 30. Approximately 60 high<br />
school teams from across the region participated<br />
in the outdoor, academic, and environmental<br />
competition.<br />
The competition tests students’ knowledge<br />
in aquatic ecology, current environmental<br />
issues, forestry, soil, and wildlife. Local<br />
participants included two teams from <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains<br />
High School, three teams from<br />
Tolles Career & Technical Center, and three<br />
teams from West Jefferson High School.<br />
West Jefferson Team 1 took first place.<br />
Team members included Mathew Chmil,<br />
Brent Gardner, Charlie Kitchen, Charles<br />
Stephens, and Katey Stephens. Chmil,<br />
Gardner, and Charles Stephens also were<br />
on the winning team in 2023.<br />
This year’s top four teams qualified for<br />
the state competition which will take place<br />
at Hocking College in June. Two teams from<br />
Sycamore High School (Montgomery<br />
County) and one team from Beavercreek<br />
High School (Dayton) joined West Jefferson<br />
Team 1 as state qualifiers.<br />
The <strong>Madison</strong> and Fayette Soil and Water<br />
Conservation Districts hosted the Area IV<br />
contest.<br />

Phone checks, letters promote safe prom driving<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County’s Safe Communities<br />
Coalition found unique ways to express the<br />
importance of safe driving to London High<br />
School students going to prom.<br />
The coalition arranged for London Elementary<br />
fourth-graders to write messages<br />
with drawings to promote safe driving<br />
habits. The notes were given out during<br />
lunch period on April 26 to high school students<br />
planning to attend prom the next day.<br />
Also on Aug. 26, representatives of the<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County Sheriff’s Office, <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County Public Health, London Police Department,<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> County Emergency<br />
Management Agency, West Jefferson Police<br />
Department, and Ohio State Highway Patrol—all<br />
of which are members of the coalition—performed<br />
a phone check as students<br />
were leaving the school grounds.<br />
During the check, law enforcement officers<br />
stopped each vehicle leaving the parking<br />
lot to check where the driver’s phone<br />
was. If the driver had their phone out of<br />
sight and in a safe place, the driver received<br />
Smartie candies. Those who did not have<br />
their phone in a safe place while driving received<br />
a Dum-Dum sucker.<br />
The Safe Communities Coalition urges<br />
drivers to put their phones away when behind<br />
the wheel. Drivers should follow these<br />
steps for a safe drive:<br />
• If you are expecting a text message or<br />
need to send one, pull over and park your<br />
car in a safe location.<br />
HUFF<br />
Norma Jean Huff, 84, of London, Ohio, was welcomed<br />
into the eternal presence of Jesus on April 22,<br />
<strong>2024</strong>. She was surrounded by her husband, children,<br />
and grandchildren and passed away very peacefully.<br />
Norma was born in West Virginia on Sept. 16, 1939,<br />
to Oren Fay Lattimer and Virginia Marie Lattimer<br />
(Cunningham). She was the fifth of eight siblings, and<br />
she always fondly shared stories of growing up with her<br />
brothers and sisters.<br />
Norma was preceded in death by: her parents, Oren<br />
and Virginia; brothers, Jim Lattimer, Don Lattimer,<br />
and Bernie Lattimer; and sister-in-law, Geneva Lattimer.<br />
Norma is survived by: her loving husband, Jim Huff;<br />
children, Doug (Kylee) Huff, Sandra (Bob) Oiler, and<br />
Greg (Andee) Huff; grandchildren, Tisha, Tara,<br />
Christina, Bobby (Carmen), Haley, Haden, Darian<br />
(Brandie), Thadd, Taven, and Brylee; great-grandchildren,<br />
Ashton, Jhanessa, Shelbi, Jeyshon, Kiandra,<br />
Kendrick, Freddy, and Franky; siblings, Wanda Bainter,<br />
Eileen (Frank) Eden, David (Myrla) Lattimer, and<br />
Gary (Marci) Lattimer; sisters-in-law, Jean Lattimer<br />
and Janet Lattimer; beloved friend, Kathy Samson; as<br />
well as dozens of nieces and nephews.<br />
Norma met Jim at Circleville Bible College. They<br />
were wed on Feb. 25, 1964. Jim always said that he<br />
knew they would get to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary<br />
together, which they recently celebrated on<br />
Feb. 25, <strong>2024</strong>. Jim and Norma both loved to share stories<br />
from their early relationship and marriage, and<br />
Law enforcement officers conducted a phone check at London<br />
High School on April 26, the day before prom, to emphasize the<br />
need to place phones in a safe, out-of-sight place while driving.<br />
• Ask your passenger to be your “designated texter.” Allow them<br />
access to your phone to respond to calls or messages.<br />
• Do not engage in social media scrolling or messaging while<br />
driving.<br />
• Cell phone use is habit-forming. Struggling to not text and<br />
drive? Activate your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature, silence notifications,<br />
or put your phone in the trunk, glove box, or back seat of<br />
your vehicle until you arrive at your destination.<br />
obituaries<br />
anyone who has heard these stories has experienced the<br />
joy and laughter they incite.<br />
In the early years of their marriage, Norma served<br />
as a stay-at-home mother to her three children. She<br />
later worked as a cashier at K-Mart, secretary at Purex,<br />
and the accountant for White Tiger Graphics, from<br />
where she retired.<br />
Norma enjoyed Gospel music, singing hymns, gardening,<br />
and bird watching. She especially loved watching<br />
birds from her porch swing with her grandchildren.<br />
Norma was also a faithful giver, and missions were always<br />
very important to her. She and Jim always joyfully<br />
supported missionaries whenever they could. Most importantly,<br />
she spent the most time reading scripture<br />
and praying for her family. She would sincerely end<br />
every phone call with, “I pray for you every day!” Everyone<br />
who knew her was reassured that they were loved<br />
and prayed for.<br />
Norma was a devoted member of Church of Christ in<br />
Christian Union in Newport, Ohio.<br />
Visitation, a memorial service, and a reception were<br />
held on <strong>May</strong> 3 at <strong>Madison</strong> County Vineyard Church,<br />
London. Dr. David Lattimer officiated the service.<br />
In Norma’s honor, the family requests that you<br />
would prayerfully consider contributing to the CCCU<br />
Missionary Department to help support missionaries,<br />
which was a very important cause to Norma. A check<br />
can be mailed to: CCCU Missionary Department, 1553<br />
Lancaster Pike, Circleville, OH 43113.<br />
The family was served by Eberle-Fisher Funeral<br />

John Edward Leach, born August 26, 1938, passed away after a<br />
long illness on Saturday, April 13, <strong>2024</strong> in Englewood, Florida. He is survived<br />
by his loving wife, Janice and children: Andy Leach, Jonda (Eric) Brown, Melinda<br />
(Eric) Cunningham, Renae (Bob) Zabloudil and Cory (Alyssa) Bexfield, as well<br />
as his brother and best friend, Rodger (Jean) Leach. Grandchildren mourning<br />
the loss of their beloved grandpa include Ryan (Kayla) Leach, Marcus Leach,<br />
Alex (Bryan) Brown, Grant (Jenni) Brown, Chase (Caitlin) Cunningham, Brynn<br />
Cunningham, Ryleigh Bexfield, Tessa Bexfield, Callhan Bexfield, Andon Bexfield,<br />
Lexi Zabloudil, Natalie Zabloudil, Vinny Zabloudil; great grandchildren: Hanna,<br />
Michael, Caleb, and Samuel Leach, and Georgia Jean Brown. John is also<br />
mourned by nieces, nephews and extended family and friends in both Ohio<br />
and Florida along with his sweet beagle mix, Bree. He is preceded in death by<br />
his parents, Ralph "Bud" and Mildred Leach; Sister Patricia (Leach) Turnbull.<br />
John was a friend to everyone he met, which included coworkers within the<br />
Ohio Department of Corrections; the Village of Mount Sterling, Ohio; and Metal<br />
Graphics. He was a faithful member of the First United Methodist Church in<br />
Mount Sterling, Ohio and at the Englewood Methodist in Englewood, FL. John<br />
was a dedicated member of the Aladdin Shrine, Masonic Lodge, Knights of<br />
Pythias, Scottish Rite, and the American Legion. John graduated from Mount<br />
Sterling High School and served honorably in the United States Air Force. If<br />
you spent any time in Mount Sterling, you probably ran into John at Veteran's<br />
Field Fish Stand, at choir practice at the Methodist Church, or waving from his<br />
vintage John Deer tractor during Village Parades. If he wasn't in Mount<br />
Sterling, he was likely supporting one of his grandkid's events or activities. He<br />
absolutely loved them all and was their biggest fan, no matter if it was a ballet<br />
recital or championship game-- he showed up every time.

Paying it forward by taking a look back in time<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
Joshua Murray, a third-grade language<br />
arts teacher at Miami View Elementary<br />
School, took the school’s third-graders on a<br />
walking tour of downtown South<br />
Charleston on April 26.<br />
He equipped each student with a copy of<br />
a 44-page booklet he had filled with nearly<br />
100 photos of iconic landmarks, many of<br />
which still stand today. At stops along the<br />
tour, he encouraged students to compare<br />
and contrast the old pictures with how<br />
things look today.<br />
Pointing to one of the grand houses on<br />
Chillicothe Street, Murray relayed the story<br />
of how an opera singer had it built with<br />
wide open spaces for good acoustics. He<br />
showed the students the “steps to nowhere”<br />
on Church Street, near U.S. Route 42, that<br />
he played on as a child, noting they once led<br />
to a school building that served students in<br />
the early 1900s. He took them to the tiny<br />
cemetery that sits next to South Charleston<br />
United Methodist Church to show them the<br />
gravemarker of Charles Paist after whom<br />
the town was named.<br />
“I see the kids light up when I tell them<br />
about certain buildings,” Murray said. “I<br />
think it’s important for students to have a good understanding of<br />
the history of our town and where we come from.”<br />
A teacher at Southeastern Local Schools for the past 16 years,<br />
Murray has been conducting the walking history tours with students<br />
for over 10 years. It’s one of the ways he is working to preserve,<br />
share, and celebrate the history of his hometown.<br />
“I’ve always been interested in history, I buy and sell antiques,<br />
and I’ve always loved photography,” Murray said.<br />
One of his uncles helped to nurture those interests by getting<br />
him into selling old photographs when he was a teenager. The same<br />
uncle took him to a postcard show where Murray found old images<br />
of South Charleston and, as a result, started a collection. Later, a<br />
history buff who appreciated Murray’s interest in local history donated<br />
his whole postcard collection to him.<br />
“A lot of people have invested in me, and I am trying to invest<br />
more in our town and in our kids,” Murray said. “I’ve seen more in-<br />

terest in local history over the last 10 years or so,<br />
which is exciting.”<br />
In November of last year, Murray established the<br />
“South Charleston, Ohio Through the Years” page<br />
on Facebook. The page has more than 2,200 followers.<br />
Visitors are encouraged to share historic photos,<br />
nostalgic items, and stories of South Charleston.<br />
The purpose of the page: “Let’s work together to<br />
keep the history of South Charleston alive.”<br />
Murray recently asked the page’s followers if<br />
they would be interested in Murray offering walking<br />
history tours to the public.<br />
“Between 80 and 100 people showed interest,”<br />
he said, adding that he hopes to set some tour<br />
dates for later this year.<br />
Two copies of Murray’s “History Tour of South<br />
Charleston <strong>2024</strong>” booklet are now part of the local<br />
history section at Houston Library in South<br />
Charleston.<br />
A detail pointed out on Joshua Murray’s walking<br />
history tour are the initials in the iron gate outside<br />
the brick home that sits diagonally across<br />
the street from Chillicothe Street Pizza: HEB<br />
stood for Henry E. Bateman who laid out Woodward<br />
Street. The house was built in the 1860s.<br />
(AT LEFT) Megaphone in hand, Miami View Elementary<br />
teacher Joshua Murray tells third-graders about the Houston<br />
Co. store (see picture ABOVE) that once stood at the<br />
south end of Chillicothe Street, not far from where Sunrise<br />
Cooperative now operates. The business, established in<br />
1861, sold grain, wool, groceries, hardware items, and produce.<br />
The building was torn down in 2014.<br />
Third-grade students at Miami View Elementary take a<br />
break on the steps of South Charleston United Methodist<br />
Church during a walking history tour conducted by teacher<br />
Joshua Murray. Murray informed the students that South<br />
Charleston’s Methodist congregation got its start in a small<br />
barn in 1811. The current church was built in 1912 before<br />
which a frame church stood on the site.
