Beloved Ben & Joy's closes after 40 Years
By Rachel Scofield
Madison Messenger Editor
A cherished institution in Mount Sterling,
Ben & Joy's Restaurant, has closed its
doors after 40 years of serving the community.
On Jan. 25, the management of Ben &
Joy's announced the closing through a
heartfelt message to their 3,700 Facebook
followers:
Dear Valued Friends, Employees and
Guests of Ben & Joy's:
It is with humble gratitude and a heavy
heart that we announce the closing of Ben
& Joy's Restaurant. This has been a very
difficult and emotional decision, and we
are so sad to say goodbye. We will close our
doors on Feb. 2.
We would like to thank our staff, past
and present, for being such an integral
part of our business and for helping us to
provide so many wonderful experiences to
our countless guests over the years.
Restaurant work is not easy. It takes commitment,
thick skin, and a really good
sense of humor. Your efforts have never
gone unnoticed, you have shown grace,
warmth, and dedication. There are no
words that clearly express the love and
gratitude we feel for our staff that worked
so hard to keep the vision alive. It is so
rare to find such a committed, hardworking,
talented, and friendly staff anywhere.
We became a family. We are so very grateful
for the love and tremendous efforts, you
are all amazing.
Of course, we give immeasurable
thanks to everyone who has dined with us,
whether you've been dining with us for
years or just now found us. We are grateful
for your continued support and loyalty; you
are the direct reason for our success as we
are truly humbled and honored to have
served you.
However, as much as we love Ben &
Joy's and seeing you walk through our
doors, this is a bittersweet choice and a
most difficult decision, to say the least.
What an incredible journey it has been!
Yours Sincerely and with so much love,
Ben & Joy's
The message, which was shared 470
times, was met with an outpouring of support
and shared memories from the community.
Many expressed their sadness over the
closing but also their gratitude for the years
of service and delicious meals.

Madison County
Resident
Officers receive
Saltsman
Service Award
Steve Saltsman
On Feb. 13 at
noon, the London
Rotary Club will
present the firstever
Steve Saltsman
Service Above Self
First Responder
Award. This prestigious
award will be
given to two deserving
London Police
Officers: Officer
Dylan Fout and Officer
Denise Dye.
The award is named for Steve Saltsman, a
beloved member of both the Rotary Club
and the Madison County Sheriff's office who
passed away last fall. Saltsman left a legacy
of community service that the Rotary Club
hopes to continue through this award.
The presentation will take place during
the Rotary Club’s meeting at the Madison
County Senior Center (280 W. High Street,
London). In addition to recognizing the two
officers, the event will also celebrate the
Students of the Month from London High
School and Madison Plains High School.
“Service Above Self” is the principle tenet
of Rotary International and the award is a
fitting tribute to both Steve Saltsman and
the brave first responders who exemplify this
motto. Fout and Dye will be recognized for
their dramatic rescue of a missing five-yearold
child on Nov. 12. The officers spotted the
child, who has autism, floating face-up in a
creek. The officers' quick and heroic actions
saved the boy’s life.
London Police Chief Glenn Nicol praised
the officers for their humility and dedication.
"Officer Fout, while training Officer
Dye, was still alert and on patrol.”

Continued from page 1
“What better way to teach?" he
said. "We are a little embarrassed
by all the attention. Officer Fout is
a humble person, and we as an
agency believe humility is the cornerstone
of all virtues. So, this
extra recognition can be uncomfortable,
but we appreciate the
recognition also."
Officer Dylan Fout The London Rotary asks the
community to please join them on
Feb. 13 “to honor these outstanding
first responders and to celebrate
our community's students.
Together, we can continue to uphold
the values that Steve Saltsman
held dear and ensure that
Service Above Self remains a guiding
principle in our community.”
Officer Denise Dye
A Successful Start in 2025
As we embark on this new year, I want to reflect on 2024
and share my gratitude for the incredible privilege of
serving you in the Ohio Senate. We achieved remarkable
milestones together, and I am optimistic about
what lies ahead. I was honored to take the oath of office
in January as we officially began the 136th General Assembly.
From day one, my commitment has been to
work with my constituents and the great people of
Ohio. I focus on crafting policies that uplift families,
strengthen communities, and create opportunities for
all Ohioans to thrive. Due to redistricting, my district will
now include parts of Franklin, Pickaway, and Madison
Counties. I am excited about this change and the opportunity
to expand my advocacy at the Statehouse to
my new constituents. One of the highlights of 2024 was
attending the Governor’s bill signings on several important
pieces of legislation I championed. It was indeed a
proud moment to see our collective efforts result in
meaningful changes that will positively impact lives
across the state:
● SB 95 – Authorizing the Use of Tele-Pharmacy
Services: This legislation expands access to
pharmaceutical care in underserved areas,
everaging technology to ensure that all Ohioans
have the resources to manage their health effectively.
● HB 8 – The “Parents Bill of Rights: ”A landmark
measure empowering parents with greater
involvement in their children’s education and
ensuring transparency in the decisions that
affect our future generations.
● HB 173 – Designating “Ohio Black Media Week:”
This bill celebrates the vital contributions
of Black media outlets in our state, recognizing
heir role in amplifying voices, sharing stories,
and fostering informed communities. I am pleased
to announce my committee assignments for the
136th General Assembly. These roles position me
These roles position me to address key issues
and advocate for policies that matter most to our
communities:
1. Housing (Chair): Leading efforts to address
housing affordability and accessibility across Ohio.
2. Judiciary (Vice Chair): Supporting a fair and
efficient judicial system.
3. Workforce Development (Vice Chair): Promoting
initiatives to build a skilled and competitive
workforce.
4. Small Business and Economic Opportunity:
Championing small businesses as drivers of
economic growth.
5. Agriculture and Natural Resources: Preserving
Ohio’s agricultural heritage and natural resources.
6. Rules and Reference: Ensuring legislative
priorities eflect the needs of our constituents.

“Cardiovascular disease is the number

often preventable with the right lifestyle
choices and early intervention,” said Mercy
Health cardiologist Dr. Muhammad Ashraf.
“Our goal is to ensure people understand
how they can reduce their risk and take
proactive steps to protect their hearts.”
To start, Mercy Health — Springfield is
inviting the community to a special Heart

managed and, in many cases, prevented,”
explained Dr. Ashraf.

NEWMAN
Walter Theodore “Newt” Newman, 90, of
London, died peacefully on Jan. 30 at home
surrounded by his family.
Born Feb.27, 1934, in Akron, Ohio, he
was a son of Paul Newman and Mamie
(Burnside) Newman.
Following high school, Walter went on to
serve in the United States Air Force where
he was proud to be stationed overseas in
Korea. Upon returning to the States, he dedicated
a twenty-seven-year career to the London
Correctional Institution. Walter made
sure to stay active after retirement with
much of his time spent outdoors mowing on
his John Deere. An avid gun enthusiast and
NRA member, Walter also enjoyed watching
old black and white westerns or anything
starring John Wayne. Walter was also a
proud cancer survivor who always looked forward
to the annual Relay for Life survivor
dinner and parade in Madison County.
With a true heart of gold, his unwavering
devotion to the wellbeing of others was always
evident through his love of charity
where he was sure to donate to what he
could to help others. Always loving his fellow
soldier, he was a regular supporter of
the Wounded Warrior Project, but also the
Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association, American
Heart Association, many local food
pantries, and numerous other organizations,
even ensuring to send letters to notify
the charities if he was unable to help one
particular month. Always a man of strong
faith, Walter was sure to savor time with the
Lord by reading His word through scripture
each and every night. His family always
served as his pride and joy, cherishing the
time spent together while being proud of all
their accomplishments. Walter truly left a
lasting impact on all who had the privilege
of knowing him, and although his passing
has left our hearts heavy, the love our hearts
have known from him shall carry on as our
lasting tribute to an irreplaceable man.
Left to continue Walter’s legacy include
his children: Dan (Rhoni) Newman, Tonita
Newman, and Rick (Jodi) Newman; grandchildren:
DJ (Markee) Newman, Samantha
(Brett) Newman, Phil (Molly) Newman,
Kelsea (AJ) Vincent, and Abrielle Newman;
great-grandchildren: Charlie Newman,
Aubrey Marcum, Athena Newman, and
Adam Vincent; special niece Laura Beth
Pinter, many other nieces and nephews including
Robert (Katrina) Kuntz, Kimberly
Kuntz, Donald (Darlene) Kuntz; a host of
great-nieces and great-nephews; sister-inlaw
Leah Baird.
In addition to his parents, Walter is reunited
in heaven with his beloved wife
Leona (Baird) Newman and his siblings Patricia
Kuntz and Gene Newman.
The family would like to extend a special
thank you to ViaQuest Hospice for their unmatched
devotion, compassion, and excellent
care in caring for Walter during his
final days.

Thanks toy drive donors!
The Tri-County Firefighter’s Association and the Mt. Sterling Community
Center would like to thank again all those who donated to the
2024 toy drive this year. Again, there was an overwhelming response
from the community and businesses to help families in our area.
We would like to thank those of you that gave generously of your
time to help bag and distribute the toys on pick-up day. Thanks also
to those that gave monetary funds as well as toys and gift cards for
the children and young adults in our community. There were a lot
of children that got their Christmas wishes granted this year. The
community helped 23 families and 60 plus youth.
We would also like to thank all the local businesses that put a
“fire boot” in their establishment to collect funds for this drive:
Rapp’s Hardware, Ben & Joy’s and Sterling One Stop. Thanks also
to the Firefighter’s that stood out in the cold to collect funds during
the street collection drive as well.
Some of the local organizations and businesses that donated
funds this year were: Gerald T. Baynes, Atty at Law, Jay Car Construction,
Meijers at 665, Mt. Sterling American Legion Post #417
Charitable Fund, Knights of Pythias, Sterling One Stop, EDF Renewals,

the year for families and their children in need without community

(9-10 grade). Through a blend of talent, leadership and
service, Athena Powell exemplifies dedication and excellence
in all that she is involved.
When asked to name a staff member who has inspired
her, Athena chose her CCP chemistry
teacher, Bev Goudy.
Athena shares, “Mrs. Goudy is an
inspiration to me because she made
learning chemistry very enjoyable.
She genuinely cares about the success
of her students and dedicates so much
time to setting up labs and grading
our work to provide feedback as soon
as possible.
I was constantly learning new information,
but it was never too overwhelming
because she always
checked in with her students to offer
them extra help when needed. I
loved talking with her both during
and after class, I wish I could have
had her for more than one year!”
In turn, Mrs. Goudy shares the
following about Athena, “I knew I
was going to have a good year when
I was sharing my student list for CCP chemistry last
year with Mrs. Flores. She was elated that Athena was
in the class. She could not say enough positive things
about her.
Mrs. Flores was absolutely right. Athena did spectacularly
in the class. Even though the class was composed
of mostly seniors and Athena was a junior at the
time, Athena was one of the best students. She always
had her work correctly done and was able to apply what
she learned to “out—of—the—box” problems. It has been
an honor for me to have worked with her.”
After graduation, Athena plans to attend university
but is undecided about her course of study. She is the
daughter of Jennifer and Robin Powell of London.

PUBLIC HEARING
PY 2025 Madison County Small Cities Program
Madison County intends to apply to the Ohio Department of Development
for funding under the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Program and other related state and federally
funded programs administered by the State of Ohio. The
County is eligible for several different types of PY 2025 programs
providing the County meets applicable program requirements.
These programs include but are not limited to the CDBG Critical Infrastructure;
Economic Development and Public Infrastructure Program;
Residential Public Infrastructure Program; Discretionary
Program; and the Homeless and Supportive Housing Programs. The
State of Ohio anticipates it will receive approximately $64 million
from HUD to distribute on a statewide basis, based on the Consolidated
Plan submitted to HUD. The Consolidated Plan contains additional
information on the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Small Cities Program, a federally funded program administered
by the State and funded by HUD.
A Public Hearing to discuss the programs available through the Ohio
Small Cities Program will be held on February 25, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.,
in the Commissioners’ Hearing Room, Madison County Courthouse,
1 N. Main Street, London, Ohio.
Madison County anticipates it will be eligible to apply for up to
$500,000 in Critical Infrastructure grants, and grants of up to
$500,000 are available for Economic Development and Public Infrastructure.
The CDBG applications are due to the State in June 2025.
The other grants have an open cycle beginning July 1, 2025.
The Public Hearing will provide citizens, communities and local organizations
with explanation of eligible activities and program requirements
for the CDBG Small Cities program, including the CDBG
community development programs, the CDBG economic development
programs, housing programs, and other HUD funded programs.
The programs can fund a broad range of activities including,
but not limited to, economic development projects, infrastructure
improvements, development and rehabilitation of housing, and
neighborhood facilities improvements. The activities must be designed
to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid
in the elimination of slum and blight, or meet an urgent need of the
community. Citizens of Madison County are encouraged to attend
the public hearing to provide their input on the County's CDBG
Small Cities program. Large Print and auxiliary aids materials will be
made available, if requested in advance. For information, please
contact the Commissioner's Office at (740) 852-2972.
