On Feb. 28, community members stopped by the London Walmart
to have their photos taken wth the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile
driven by Hotdoggers “Corndog Kate” Goldstein from Missouri and
“Aolikira” Potts from Texas.

CoSN today awarded
Jonathan Alder Local
Schools in Plain City, OH,
the Trusted Learning Environment
(TLE) Mini Seal in
the Professional Development
practice. The CoSN
TLE Seal is a national distinction
awarded to school
districts implementing rigorous
privacy policies and
practices to help protect
student information.
Jonathan Alder Local
Schools is the fourth Ohio
school district to earn a
TLE Seal and the second
TLE Mini Seal recipient in
the state. To date, TLE Seal
recipients have improved
privacy protections for over
1.2 million students.
The CoSN TLE Seal Program
mandates that school
systems uphold high standards for protecting student
data privacy across five key practice areas: Leadership,
Business, Data Security, Professional Development and
Classroom. The TLE Mini Seal Program enables school
districts nationwide to build toward earning the full
TLE Seal by addressing privacy requirements in one or
more practice areas at a time. All TLE Seal and Mini
Seal applicants receive feedback and guidance to help
them improve their student data privacy programs.
“CoSN is dedicated to offering the support necessary
to help districts navigate the complexities of safeguarding
student data privacy. We’re excited to see the commitment
from Jonathan Alder Local Schools to improve
student data privacy,” said Keith Krueger, CEO, CoSN.
“Jonathan Alder Local Schools are honored to receive
the Professional Development Trusted Learning Environment
Mini Seal. It takes a team to offer this level of
professional development policies and practices regarding
student data privacy and security. We are committed
to continuing this work,” said Nicole L. Schrock,
Director of Instructional Technology, Jonathan Alder
Local School District.
The CoSN TLE Seal is the only privacy framework designed
specifically for school systems. Earning the TLE
Seal requires that school systems have taken measurable
steps to implement, maintain and improve organizationwide
student data privacy practices. All TLE Seal recipients
are required to demonstrate that improvement
through a reapplication process every two years.

Jefferson Fire posts tribute to Logan Jester
On Feb. 26, 21-year-old Tri-County Firefighter
Logan Jester passed away from a
rare form of liver cancer. A celebration of
life service was held on March 5 at the Cypress
Church in Galloway with a funeral
service the following day.
Jefferson Township Fire Department,
which had made Jester an honorary member
last fall, issued the following statement:
"In the career as a firefighter, no man
gets left behind. Regardless of how many
minutes or years served, and for which department;
we are a family. After learning of
Tri-County FF Logan Jester’s devasting diagnosis,
we felt the need to step up and help
a brother from a neighboring department.
In April of 2024, we hosted a pancake breakfast
benefit, with choosing Logan and the
Madison County Humane Society as the
beneficiaries. The Humane Society generously
chose to also donate their portion to
Logan as well, totaling $4,500.
On Nov. 26, Logan was made an Honorary
Firefighter of Jefferson Twp.; with a
resolution letter, helmet with a personal
placard, and a prepared video. These were
presented to Logan and his family on Dec.
16. at the Jester home.
Our department remains to keep the
Jester family, friends, and our brothers and
sisters at Tri-County Fire within thoughts
and prayers during this difficult time. The
fire service lost a good, brave, young firemen.”
Please consider donating to his family’s
GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/84f32322d"

We Need to Branch Out and Place More Value on Trees
Guest Column
David
Burton
While there are
distinct sounds that
make us cringe and
shudder, we also
have unique items on
our personalized
lists. For me, hearing the announcer say,
“Welcome fans to another Cleveland Browns
football game” sends shivers down my spine
and causes me to begin harrowing thoughts
of the upcoming mental trauma I’ll need to
endure as another round of their on-field follies
ensues.
Another on my list is hearing the near or
distant sound of a chain saw wailing away.
It means another tree is under siege in a
battle it never wins. The reasons for the assaults
are varied, hopefully necessary, too
often not, directly or indirectly traced back
to man, knowingly or unknowingly, intentional
or not, and sadly too frequently just
due to a lack of valuing the importance of
this natural resource. Get in our way, be
seen as an inconvenience, or just not meeting
our passing whims anymore, then down
they come. It takes many years for a tree to
mature and just a matter of minutes for it
to come down. The damage is irreversible,
they always lose, and so do we.
I stopped taking trees for granted at an
early age. When I visited my grandfather as
a little boy he’d greet me with his extended
clenched hands. I had to pick the hand hiding
a chestnut he’d saved for me from his big
American Chestnut tree. I couldn’t lose, the
other hand had a one dollar bill in it which
I got even if I picked the wrong hand. I took
both home with me, but for whatever reason
I treasured the chestnut more than the
money. A strange tradition but most are,
and I always looked forward to it. But the
tradition ended on one trip. The tree had
been cut down, as most chestnut trees
across the country eventually were, after it
became diseased with the blight and frantic
efforts to isolate the fungus from spreading
were futile and failed.
As the years rolled on by, I often thought
back on the American Chestnut’s demise.
Then, when I went away to college, I saw
the scenario playing out again. This time it
was the American Elm trees, under attack
from the Dutch Elm disease. Again, massive
attempts to isolate the disease caused by a
burrowing bark beetle failed. The main
campus thoroughfares on the beautiful campus,
once lined with magnificent towering
elm trees, were now devoid of trees. It was
a common scene playing out across the
country.
In more recent years we’ve experienced
the devastation resulting from the invasion
of the Asian Long-Horned beetles as they attacked
maple and other trees. Most recently
it’s been the Emerald Ash Borer that’s
spread across the country causing cities to
start radical tree cutting isolation attempts
trying in vain to stop the spread.
The one common theme in all these destructive
diseases was they generated from
non-native overseas sources. Man has been
careless and allowed them to hitch rides
across the oceans imbedded in pallets and
other cargo that then got dispersed across
our country. Our trees must also routinely
fight many native diseases, but they’ve
adapted their natural immunities and defense
mechanisms over the years and are
better equipped to absorb the infestations
with results usually not as devastating.
With today’s onslaught of emphasis and
concern over the climate, it’s surprising that
our vast, but steadily downward spiraling
resource of trees hasn’t been valued more.
Numerous studies have shown many obvious
and not so obvious collateral benefits
they give us, ranging from positive impacts
on temperature, shade, privacy, pollution,
stress, anxiety, aggression and even our
blood pressure. Green spaces, such as parks,
have been equated to improved health.
Other studies have correlated financial benefits
to them, helping to build stronger support
to help justify valuing them more. I
recently read, “As urban construction and
concrete continue to subsume the trees,
woods and other fragments of the natural
world, new science and technology have
begun to illuminate how essential nature
actually is for our well-being.”
Last summer was noticeably hotter than
past summers, continuing what seems to be
an upward annual temperature trend. The
causes are the subject of many discussions,
studies and theories that often include societies’
potential influence in the trend. I’m
never surprised when I flip on the weather
and see the temperature is always higher in
Columbus than cities and towns outside of
the metropolitan area. It’s not by coincidence;
you’d expect areas of concentrated
concrete, tar and buildings to be hotter.
What’s more concerning is the big city,
along with all its heat retention characteristics,
is growing outward into and past the
suburbs, including ours.
Our area has experienced phenomenal
recent growth. Everywhere you look, acres
of fields and trees have been replaced with
new housing and business developments,
along with the supporting concrete and
pavement. I cringe when I drive down a once
serene, now highly developed, White Road.
There used to be an old home with acreage
at the corner of McDowell and White roads
with lots of trees and a pond. I often wondered
about its history. Now it’s a totally
plowed over dirt field awaiting construction
as part of a new 74-residential housing development
with homes also jammed in along
the interstate on the other side of White
Road where a dense woodlot once stood.
As I drive around the area these days, I
now find myself humming a children’s nursery
rhyme. I changed a few of the words: Old
MacDonald had a farm, EE-I-EE-I-O. With
a house house here and a house house there,
here a house there a house everywhere a
house house, Old MacDonald sold his land,
EE-I-EE-I-O.
I tremble when I
see those orange
trucks the utility
company hires rumble
across our community
with their
chainsaws. They
started out as a national
tree expert
company with a goal
of trying to keep
trees healthy and
vigorous. Now their
goal is to bring down
branches near power
wires. It’s certainly a
necessary function,
but the welfare of
the tree is no longer
a prime concern.
Years ago, they’d at
least try to shape the
tree a bit after a radical
cut. Now they
just leave them looking
embarrassingly
deformed, which
leaves them susceptible
to high winds
with limb breakage,
and then potential
disease as they
struggle to survive.
The destructive
tree diseases our
country has experienced
have led to increased
national
efforts to gain a better
understanding of
all-encompassing
tree value and better
control it. There are
multiple tree programs
across the
country. Our city has
an active Urban
Forestry Division
that plants and
maintains our area
trees. We have a city
tree commission that
oversees the program
and we’ve been
designated a Tree
City USA by the
Arbor Day Foundation
for 30 consecutive
years. We’ve
been diligent about
incorporating green
spaces in our developments
and growth.
But I still worry.
We recognize the
many benefits trees
provide, but we still
seem to encourage
more growth, here,
there, and everywhere.
We bulldoze
our stands of trees
and replace them
with structures, tar
and concrete. Then
we slap in a few
strategically placed
new trees. As my
math teacher used to
say, “does not
WORK INJURIES
WORKERS’
COMPENSATION
MOTOR VEHICLE
PERSONAL INJURY
WRONGFUL DEATH
PERSONAL INJURY
SLIP & FALL INJURY
DOG BITE INJURY
equate.” We’re losing ground and the temperature
is rising.

Mercy Health is proud to announce the
addition of Dr. Neal Mehan to the team of
Mercy Health — Springfield Neurosurgery.
Dr. Mehan is a highly experienced, boardcertified
neurosurgeon with more than 13
years of expertise in treating a wide range of
neurological conditions.
“Dr. Mehan’s expertise and commitment
to the community make him a tremendous
asset to our team,” said Chase Collins, Director
of Neurosciences at Mercy Health —
Springfield. “We are thrilled to have him join
our team, further enhancing our ability to
provide exceptional care for our patients in
the Springfield and surrounding areas.”
The Dayton native and graduate of
Beavercreek High School, earned his bachelor’s
degree in electrical engineering from The
Ohio State University before completing his
Doctorate of Medicine at the University of
Cincinnati. Dr. Mehan then went on to complete
a rigorous seven-year neurosurgical residency
at the prestigious Hofstra-Northwell
Health System in New York City.
After years of training and practice, he is
excited to return home to provide worldclass
neurosurgical care to the Springfield
and Dayton communities. He offers a comprehensive
range of treatments, including:
• Treatment and assessment of spinal pain
• Spinal fusion and disc replacement
• Minimally invasive spine surgery
• Spinal tumor treatment
• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
• Posterior spinal fusion
• Anterior lumbar fusion
• Lateral lumbar interbody fusion
• Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
• Brain tumor treatment
• Head trauma care
• Hydrocephalus management
Dr. Mehan joins a team of providers specializing
in neurological and neurovascular
care at Mercy Health — Springfield Regional
Medical Center.
"Having all these providers on staff is a
huge step forward for Mercy Health, giving
our community greater access to state-ofthe-art
neurological care," said Collins. "It’s
part of our ongoing commitment to providing
the best possible care and improving clinical
outcomes for our patients."
The addition of Dr. Mehan is just the latest
effort to continue investing in neurological
and stroke care for the local community.
It follows the opening a neurointerventional
suite to support the health system’s Interventional
Neurology program which utilizes
state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge
techniques like catheter-based procedures
and advanced radiology imaging to allow for
faster diagnosis and treatment of strokes as
well as other neurological conditions. The
program's fast response times and minimally
invasive procedures significantly improve
patient outcomes, with a goal of maximizing
survival and long-term quality of life for
stroke patients.
Mercy Health — Springfield is a Stroke
GOLD PLUS achievement award winner,
an honor that recognizes hospitals for their
dedication to providing evidence-based, toptier
stroke care. As part of this initiative,
Mercy Health partners with Ohio State
Medical Center to ensure board-certified
stroke neurologists are available 24/7.

Mount Sterling Library’s Around Town Book Club
The Around Town Book Club plays a
game or challenge, or has an activity every
month.
From assistant librarian Melissa Reece:
Our book club is actually pretty large, with
somewhere around 15 active members.
Thankfully they don't all always come at
once. We would have had to create another
seating area if any more had attended this
meeting.
The Around Town Book Club is aptly
named because when it began around 2011,
we held it at a different location "around
town" every month. Up until March of 2020,
we had usually met at a local restaurant.
Once we met at AMC theater in Grove City
when the movie, “The Book Club” was
showing. Prior to that, some years before,
we had carpooled to the Der Dutchman
restaurant in Plain City one evening to discuss
over dinner an Amish-themed book we
had read. This past November we all met at
a restaurant in Hillsboro before heading to
Southern State Community College to see
the play Radium Girls, based on a book we
had read several years prior.
Our book club has male and female
members, though our males are not very
regular in attendance. We are diverse, having
six different decades of ages represented
and we read everything from fiction,
fantasy fiction, science fiction, historical fiction,
non-fiction, memoires, romance, and
autobiographical books. We mostly read fiction
or a subgenre of it. Books are chosen by
members' suggestions or the facilitator
chooses (me).
The game winner for February's meeting
was Lindsay Doerfler. She is decidedly
one of the most competitive
members of the entire book club!
The February gang at the Mt. Sterling Library’s Around Town Book Club. To learn more
about the group and where they will be popping up next, visit: https://www.mtsterlingpubliclibrary.org/around-town-book-club/.
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN
Across the country, parents, teachers, and
lawmakers are coming together to demand
stronger protections for our children
in school. We have seen far too many
tragedies unfold in schools across the nation
and Ohio is not immune. In 2024
alone, there were 46 deaths and more than
100 injuries from school shootings across
the country. These numbers are staggering,
and they serve as a stark warning that
we must act.
February 14, 2025 marked “Make Our
Schools Safe Day”-a nationwide effort
across nearly 20 states to advocate for
school safety laws. As a state senator, one
of my top priorities is public safety and the
well-being of Ohio’s children. That’s why I
recently introduced Senate Bill 105, also
known as Alyssa’s Law, named after Alyssa
Alhadeff, a 14-year-old killed in the 2018
Parkland, Florida, school shooting. Under
my bill, all Ohio public and charter schools
would be required to equip staff with
wearable panic alert systems that instantly
notify first responders in the event of an
emergency.
Delayed response times cost lives, and this
technology is a life saving measure. SB 105
ensures that teachers and school staff can
instantly notify law enforcement, eliminating
unnecessary delays. These silent
alarms are directly linked to first responders
with GPS functionality, ensuring that
law enforcement can respond quickly and
efficiently by cutting through the bureaucracy
and confusion. With an estimated
$25 million implementation cost, Ohio can
leverage $11 million in state safety grants
to help schools afford these life-saving
measures. Alyssa’s Law has already been
enacted in multiple states, and now Ohio
has an opportunity to lead in this movement
and be part of a growing national effort
to improve school safety.
School safety isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a
responsibility. We must act now.

Jonathan Alder theatre will present “Hadestown” March 13-16
By Nicholas Mayes
Jonathan Alder Theater Director
Hadestown is a reimagining of the ancient
tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, one of
the most famous love stories in Greek
mythology. Orpheus, a gifted musician, possesses
a song so beautiful it has the power
to move hearts and change fate. When Eurydice,
searching for stability, makes a fateful
decision, Orpheus sets out on an
incredible journey to bring her back. Along
the way, they encounter legendary figures
from Greek myth, including Hermes, the
clever and charismatic messenger; Persephone,
the vibrant queen of the seasons; and
Hades, a powerful ruler with his own vision
of the world.
This musical not only stands out for its
beautiful story about resilience but is
known for blending the musical genres of
New Orleans jazz, folk, and musical theater.
If you are a lover of music, you will be blown
away by the harmonies and the musicianship
that our students and orchestra possess,
bringing this classic story to life.
Even if you’re unfamiliar with the original
myth, Hadestown is a mesmerizing experience
that blends history, fantasy, and
music in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
Whether you’re a fan of mythology, theater,
or simply a great story, this show has something
for everyone. Broadway Inbound rates
the show for ages 8+.
Don’t miss the chance to see why
Hadestown has won over audiences worldwide
and makes its debut on the Jonathan
Alder stage. Get your tickets today at jambarts.org.
Shows begin at 7 p.m. on March 13-15
with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee on March 16.
Reserved tickets are $14 and may be purchased
online at jamb-arts.org. Seniors (65
and older) and students pay $11.
