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.

from across the United States, but only 12 people will “cut the

mustard”to attend the two-week “Hot Dog High where they learn

how to drive and maintain the 27-foot-long Weinermobiles. Every

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

WRONGFUL DEATH

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.

amazing cast, please visit madisonmessengernews.com
