State’s Winter Crisis
program can help
With icy temperatures and severe winter weather hitting much
of Ohio, the state of Ohio is urging residents to take advantage of a
program designed to keep homes warm and families safe.
The Ohio Department of Development’s Home Energy Assistance
Winter Crisis Program provides income-eligible Ohioans onetime
assistance managing their home energy bill. The program runs
through March 31.
“With some of the coldest weather of the season expected to come
our way, it’s more important than ever to ensure every Ohioan stays
safe and warm,” said Lydia Mihalik, director of the Department of
Development. “The Winter Crisis Program is here to provide that
critical support in these bitter and challenging conditions.”
The Winter Crisis Program assists Ohioans facing service disconnection,
those who have already been disconnected, individuals
needing to establish new service, those required to pay for a service
transfer, and those with a Percentage of Income Payment Plan
(PIPP) default or who need to make their first PIPP payment.
It also supports households with 25 percent or less of bulk fuel
in their tank to maintain service. Qualifying households must have
a gross annual income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty
level.
For a family of four, that is $54,600.
Last year, the Winter Crisis Program assisted nearly 77,000
households in Ohio, providing a total of $23.5 million in benefits.
Households serviced by a Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
(PUCO)-regulated utility must sign up for PIPP or another payment
plan if there is still an outstanding balance on the utility bill after
receiving assistance.

Winter is a good time to visit Metro Parks
By Liz Christian
Social Media and Marketing Specialist
at Franklin County Metro Parks
As the temperatures dip and the air gets
crisp, it’s easy to feel like staying inside
with a warm cup of cocoa. But what if we
told you that winter in the Metro Parks is
nothing short of magical? From winter
wildlife watching, to flying down the sled
hills, there’s a whole different side of nature
to explore and enjoy during the colder
months. Throw on your coziest sweater,
grab some gloves (and maybe your crosscountry
skis) and let’s dive into winter fun.
Sledding
No winter is complete without a good oldfashioned
race down a hill covered in snow.
Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, the
thrill of zooming down the hill is something
everyone has a chance to enjoy at Metro
Parks. All the sledding hills are bring your
own sled and are monitored by park staff for
safety and to make sure everyone has a
great time.
Enjoy the thrill of beating your friends to
the bottom of the sled hills at Quarry Trails,
Battelle Darby Creek, Blacklick Woods
Metro Golf Course, Highbanks, Scioto
Audubon, Scioto Grove, Sharon Woods, and
Walnut Woods.

best times to see wildlife? Birds are busy
flitting through the trees, and if you’re
lucky, you might spot a deer or two making
their way through the chilly landscape. The
lack of leaves on the trees makes it easier to
see farther, so grab your binoculars and
camera, and head to your nearest Metro
Park for some winter wildlife watching.
With a little patience, you may find woodpeckers,
cardinals, or even the occasional
owl.
Don’t want to sit out in the cold? The Nature
Centers at Battelle Darby Creek,
Blacklick Woods, Blendon Woods, and Highbanks
are excellent places to sit inside while
keeping an eye out for wildlife.
Ice Skating
Glide into winter fun at one of the two ice
skating ponds at Metro Parks. Whether
you’re moving smoothly across the ice or
wobbling a bit, ice skating at Metro Parks
is always a blast. This activity is only available
at Blendon Woods and Battelle Darby
Creek, and can only happen if it’s cold
enough for the water to freeze. We make
sure there are at least four inches of solid
ice across the entire area of the pond before
opening the skating ponds to the public.
Bring your own skates. Check our social
media to see if the skating ponds are open,
or call 614-370-6254 for the skating pond at
Battelle Darby Creek, and 614-620-1861 for
the skating pond at Blendon Woods.
Winter Hiking
The air is crisp, the trails are quieter,
and there’s a certain calm that comes with
the sound of crunching snow beneath your
boots. If you’re looking for a peaceful stroll
through nature, a winter hike in Metro
Parks is the perfect way to reconnect with
the great outdoors. Plus, you can join in on
our Winter Hikes Series to earn a patch for
completing seven hikes in seven parks.
Cross-Country Skiing
Ready to add a little chill to your workout?
Metro Parks has cross-country skiing
trails where you can glide through winter’s
serene landscape. Whether you’re an experienced
skier or a newbie, it’s an exhilarating
way to get some fresh air and explore
the beauty of the parks during the colder
months. Cross-country skiers are welcome
to use any Metro Parks trail when snow

conditions permit skiing, but five parks
have dedicated trails that are reserved
solely for cross-country skiing when we have
snow. Please bring your own skis. The five
parks are Battelle Darby Creek (Dyer Mill
Ski Trail), Blendon Woods (Sugarbush
Trail), Glacier Ridge (Savannah Trail),
Highbanks (Coyote Run and Scenic River
Trails) and Prairie Oaks (Bridle and Coneflower
Trails).
Snowshoeing, Arts and Crafts, Campfires,
and More
Of course, just like any other time of
year, Metro Parks Outdoor Adventure and
each individual park offers tons of fun winter
programs. Try snowshoeing with Outdoor
Adventure, join the naturalists for a
hike, make s’mores over a campfire, and
more. There are multiple ways to find all
the free and fun programs offered at Metro
Parks.
Winter Tips and Tricks
Dress in layers: Winter temperatures can
fluctuate throughout the day, so it’s best to
wear at least a couple of layers.
Keep your pets safe and comfortable: If
you’re bringing your dog along for the adventure,
be mindful of the cold. Short-haired
breeds and older dogs are especially vulnerable
to the cold. Bring booties to protect
their paws from salt and ice, and make sure
they’re warm and dry after outdoor activities.
All pets are required to stay on a leash
at Metro Parks unless otherwise specified.
Battelle Darby Creek employees play
hockey on the skating pond.
Find pet-friendly trails and activities on our
website.
Bring snacks and water: Even though it’s
cold, staying hydrated is important. It’s
easy to forget to drink water in the winter,
but you’ll need it for energy on longer hikes
or during high-energy activities like sledding
and skiing.
Whether you’re out exploring nature on
a hike, zooming down a sledding hill, or
cozying up by a fire, the parks offer something
for everyone. So, bundle up, embrace
the chill, and get outside to enjoy all the
winter magic these beautiful parks have to
offer.

Lindsey is Rotary Student of the Month
Madison
Board of
Elections
The Madison
County Republican
Central Committee
will meet on Feb. 4
at 825 U.S. 42, London,
at 7 p.m. to appoint
a member of
the Madison
County Board of
Elections.
The London Rotary Club is pleased to
honor senior student Abigail Lindsey as a Student
of the Month for Madison-Plains High
School (MPHS) for the month of January. Students
are selected by the MPHS administration
based upon the following criteria:
academic and extracurricular achievement
and positive character.
Lindsey has a 4.07 grade point average,
and is currently ranked fifth in her class. Her
favorite course is agricultural education or science.
While in high school, Lindsey has been on
the softball team for four years, and her sophomore
year she earned “most improved” recognition.
She has also participated in
powerlifting her sophomore through senior
years. During her junior year, Lindsey earned
an individual state championship and broke
the state record for the squat exercise for her
weight class. She was also part of the twoteam
state championships MPHS has earned
during the last two years.
Lindsey has also been a member of the
ABIGAIL LINDSEY
Madison-Plains chapter of National Honor Society during her sophomore
through senior years. She has served as treasurer during
her senior year.
When asked which Madison-Plains staff member inspires her,
Lindsey picked Madison-Plains math teacher Mr. (Luke) Sondej.
She said Mr. Sondej inspires her, “because he pushes me even when
I don’t feel like it, and he teaches us in a way where we don’t always
know we’re learning. He has prepared me for college in many
ways.”
Sondej said, “Abi is a hard-working, diligent student. She also
has the ability to have fun, while remaining on task. She brings a
positive attitude to the classroom and is always willing to help her
classmates and works well with them. I know she will be successful
in whatever she decides to take on in the future.”
After graduation, Lindsey plans to begin her studies at a community
college and then transfer to a four-year school to study veterinary
medicine. She is the daughter of Aaron and Victoria
Lindsey.
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 business and professional leaders united
worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build good will
and peace.

In Memory of Beverly
Feb 6, 1939 – Jan 21, 2011
She was just a teen aged girl from Missouri who fell in love with a G.I.
Stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood. She had quit school during her sophomore
year to go to work to help support her widowed mother and 10 siblings. She
was a little short girl just a little over 100 lbs, but she could pack a wallop. After
just knowing him for 6 weeks, her sweetheart was discharged from the army
and went 2000 miles away to seek his fortune. Little did he realize that his
fortune was still sitting in Missouri. After almost a year he saw the light, just
like the prodigal son. Over the phone he proposed to her and she said yes. A
wedding was scheduled in Ohio after a Sunday morning church service, but
alas he didn't realize that the license that he got in Missouri was only good in
Missouri. On 9/11/58 they were married in a parsonage in Missouri and on
9/14 were “married” again in West Jefferson, Ohio. She came as just a little girl
from Missouri but Oh what she became. She only had 10 years of school, but
she had the smarts and common sense to do most anything. Shortly after the
wedding she told her husband, “Don't you ever hit me, you have to go to sleep
sometime and I have an iron skillet.” She was a worker. It was a one day
honeymoon and then back to work. Two years later she presented her
husband with a beautiful daughter, three years later another one.
She quit work until the children were in school, and then she was always
home for them. She raised the children as her husband was always involved
in something that took his time, and she did a great job. When her oldest
daughter became pregnant, she said I hope it's a girl, I could never love a little
boy. On February 22, 1995 Jake was born, she changed over night, they were
inseparable from birth to the time of her death 15 years later. She was tight
with her money, a garage sailer and trash picker, and knew her antiques. She
saved her family a lot of money and acquired a number of valuable antiques.
She was opinionated, and spoke her mind. You either liked her or didn't.
You always knew where you stood with her. If she liked you she'd give you the
shirt off of her back, she was always for the under privileged and down
trodden. Her outspokenness must not have affected too many people her
funeral was one of the largest seen in years. She was a great organizer, she
organized and would feed over 100 people at her church dinners. She was
known as “The flower Lady of West Jefferson.” For years she planted and maintained
flowers along Main Street. She and her husband purchased a 155 year
old house that was falling down, and she made a show place of it with her
flowers. In 2003 she was found with breast cancer, it never slowed her down.
After a mastectomy and chemo it looked like it was licked. Then in 2005 it
returned, more chemo and radiation. Some thought that the radiation would
slow her down, but it seemed to energizer her and she would come back and
work all day in the flowers. At the James Cancer Hospital she got the nick name
of the Energizer Bunny. In 2008 the cancer had gone to her lungs. She was a
fighter, where ever she was she inspired people, and influenced a lot of people
by her faith. She gave hope to people who were fighting the same battle. Her
quote was “I've had a good life, I know where I'm going and I'm ready to go.”
On January 21, 2011 she got her reward.

Supersonic Phonics
In an exciting development for young readers, the
London Public Library, 20 E. First St., London, has
added a comprehensive collection of Supersonic Phonics
books, designed to build essential reading skills from the
ground up. These books, donated by United Way, use the
science of reading to offer a systematic approach to help
children master the fundamentals of phonetic reading.
Supersonic Phonics begins with the simplest phonetically
decodable words, focusing on consonant-vowelconsonant
patterns, and gradually building complexity.
The program caters to readers from PreK through grade
three, with 178 titles spanning both fiction and non-fiction.
The books are color-coded by level, making it easy
for families and educators to identify the appropriate
stage for each child’s development.
Each book highlights the specific sounds being
taught. Level 0 books, designed for pre-readers, contain
no text, encouraging families to create stories based on
illustrations, fostering children’s listening and speaking
skills.
London Public Library patrons can search for these
books in the catalog under "Supersonic Phonics" for fiction
and “Decodables” for non-fiction, further narrowing
their search by color level.
Mary Anne Wood, the library’s Youth Services Coordinator,
expressed enthusiasm for the new collection
stating, “We are thrilled to introduce this new collection
of decodable books to the library, thanks to the generous
donation from United Way. These books are not just a
great resource — they are a powerful tool for empowering
young readers and fostering a lifelong love of reading
and learning.”
With Supersonic Phonics, the library is taking a significant
step toward supporting literacy development in
the community, ensuring every child has the opportunity
to become a confident, lifelong reader.

OSU Seed Exchange
at London Library
www.madisonmessengernews.com
Attention all gardeners and green thumbs! The Ohio
State University Extension Office and the London Public
Library are teaming up once again for the highly anticipated
Seed Exchange event.
This year’s program is scheduled for Jan. 18 at 10:30
a.m. and promises to be a fantastic opportunity for the
community to come together and prepare for a fruitful
gardening season.
Do you have extra seeds to share?
Whether they’re preserved from your own garden or
store-bought packets, this is your chance to exchange
them with fellow gardeners.
Start by picking up empty seed envelopes and labels
from either of the two locations:
●London Public Library: 20 E First St., London.
●OSU Extension Office - Madison County: 217 Elm
St., London.
Once you've filled your envelopes with seeds, return
them by Jan. 8 to either location to ensure a wide variety
of seeds will be available at the event.
On Jan. 18, head to the London Public Library to explore
the diverse selection of seeds up for grabs.
Whether you’re interested in vegetables, flowers, or
even fruits, this event offers a chance to try new plants
without committing to a full-packet purchase.
Free gardening resources will also be available, helping
ensure your seeds grow into a thriving garden this
spring. Seeds will be distributed while supplies last, so
arriving early is highly recommended for the best selection.
Don’t miss this chance to connect with your community,
discover new gardening possibilities and stock up
on seeds for your next planting season.
For information, contact the London Public Library
at (740) 852-9543 or the OSU Extension Office at (740)
852-0975.

Hello, my name is Rachel Scofield, and I
am the new editor of the Madison Messenger.
Rachel
Scofield
Good to Know
Former editor
Kristy Zurbrick set a
high bar for quality
journalism in Madison
County, which I will
do my best to continue.
As a journalist, my top priority is accuracy.
Especially in the age of social media,
false narratives often dominate conversations,
but people need clear, verified information
to make educated decisions about
issues that will impact their lives.
Photography is also imperative. Although
not always possible, my goal is to
have images to illustrate every story or to
stand alone without an article. People enjoy
pictures, especially younger generations,
and with a well-written caption, a photograph
can often communicate more effectively
than text.
Please share your photographs with the
Messenger. These past few weeks we have
had some beautiful winter weather and I
would love to publish images of your families
and pets enjoying frosty hikes or constructing
the snow forts.
I am also a sucker for stories of people
doing good things for great causes. If your
organization is raising funds for someone in
need or is serving the community in another
capacity, please email me the details. I also
want to be there when the 4-H kids are
showing their animals and to know where I
can find your troop selling Thin Mints.
Madison County is home to some truly
talented performers and artists that the
Messenger intends to promote. Let me know
about your upcoming exhibits and performances
so we can share the information with

as well–let’s celebrate your latest book!
Furthermore, I hope that you will share
with me what types of stories you most want
to read. For example, would you like more
coverage of school board decisions? Or information
on drought relief programs? Maybe
high school sports photos? Please, let me
know what is important to you.
In regards to myself, I graduated from
The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s
degree in journalism. Since then, I have
worked as a reporter and photographer for
various news agencies in the Columbus
area. I took time off when my three children
were little, but now that they are teenagers,
I have returned to journalism full-time. I
have been married for nearly 30 years to my
husband Jim, who is the co-owner of a CPA
firm in Pickerington.
I volunteer for a variety of organizations,
including Green Columbus, Scouts BSA and
the Lions Club. My family and I strongly
support small businesses, so we regularly
help with community events that may draw
visitors to local shops and restaurants.
My older two kids and I are also involved
with conservation efforts at parks and nature
preserves. Throughout the year, we can
be found collecting litter, removing invasive
plants and planting native trees.
In my free time, I enjoy nerdy things like
supernatural television shows and Renaissance
festivals. I follow Columbus Blue
Jackets hockey, Ohio State football and
Cincinnati Reds baseball (my husband is a
big Guardians fan). I love farmer’s markets
and experiencing locally-owned restaurants.
My hobbies include photography, fishing
and nature walks.
I look forward to serving the Madison
County community. Please contact me at
any time.

Messenger.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION
TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF OHIO OF
THE DAYTON POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY D/B/A AES OHIO
TO INCREASE ITS ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION RATES
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 4909.19, Revised Code, The Dayton Power and Light Company
d/b/a ("AES Ohio" or the "Company") gives notice that on November 29, 2024, the Company filed with
the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("Commission") an Application to increase its base rates for electric
distribution service. The Application has been assigned Case Number 24-1009-EL-AIR by the
Commission. AES Ohio is also seeking to obtain accounting authority in connection with the proposed
rate increase and amend its tariffs, which have been assigned Case Numbers 24-1010-EL-AAM and
24-1011-EL-ATA. The Application directly affects AES Ohio's entire service territory, which includes all
or parts of Auglaize, Brown, Butler, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Darke, Delaware, Fayette, Greene, Hardin,
Highland, Logan, Madison, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Pickaway, Preble, Ross, Shelby, Union, Van Wert,
and Warren Counties.
Among other things, base distribution rates recover costs incurred for maintaining poles, wires and
other distribution infrastructure that bring electric services into customer's homes and businesses. The
last time AES Ohio asked the PUCO to review those rates was four years ago. Since that time, AES Ohio
has made significant investments to benefit customers. These investments have enhanced the safety,
reliability and resilience of our system, supported economic development that powers growth in West
Central Ohio, and are modernizing the customer experience. The proposed rates in this case reflect investments
in AES Ohio's distribution system and increased costs of operations and maintenance since
2020. The proposed rates would also assist the Company's continued implementation and support of
the infrastructure necessary to continue providing safe and reliable distribution service to its customers.
In reviewing the Application, the Commission will consider AES Ohio's cost to provide electric distribution
service from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 and the value of AES Ohio's poles, wires and other
equipment used to deliver distribution service, as of September 30, 2024.
The Application proposes a 14.2% increase for a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh on the
Company's Standard Service Offer.
The Company requests the following percentage increases in distribution service operating revenue,
on a tariff class basis. These percentage increases do not reflect the Company's proposal to reduce other
rates charged today through its Distribution Investment Rider.
Detailed typical bill impacts are included in the Company's Application:
Total Residential Class (71.98%), Total Secondary Class (80.57%), Total Primary Class (89.58%), Primary
Substation Class (122.78%), High Voltage Class (26.04%), Street Lighting Class (84.74%), and Private
Outdoor Lighting Class (204.85%).
The proposals in the Application are subject to changes, including changes as to amount and form, by
the Commission. Recommendations that differ from the filed Application may be made by the Staff of
the Commission or by intervening parties and may be adopted by the Commission. Any person, firm,
corporation, or association may file, pursuant to R.C. 4909.19, an objection to AES Ohio's Application,
which may allege that such Application contains proposals that are unjust and discriminatory or
unreasonable.
The Application and supporting documents are available at the office of AES Ohio, located at 1900
Dryden Road, Moraine, Ohio 45439, and at the offices of the Public Utilities Commission, 180 East Broad
Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793. The Application and supporting documents are also available on
the Commission's docketing information system at http://www.puco.ohio.gov, by selecting DIS, inputting
24-1009-EL-AIR in the case lookup box and selecting the date the application was filed on
November 29, 2024.
