London to build new police headquarters on corner of Walnut & 1st
By A. Kevin Corvo
Messenger Staff Writer
A new $9 million headquarters for the
London Police Department is expected to
open in late summer or early fall of 2026, according
to London Mayor Patrick Closser.
The 14,896-square-foot facility will be constructed
at the northeast corner of South
Walnut Street and East First Street. The site
is currently an open field, but a memorial bell
honoring soldiers lost in America’s wars and
conflicts will remain in place.
The new headquarters will replace the existing
facility at 10 E. First Street, providing
improved safety for officers and residents visiting
the lobby for police reports or other business,
said London Police Chief Glenn Nicol.
At the current headquarters, open common
areas in the lobby pose challenges, and
officers must ensure arrestees moving
through the building do not come into contact
with others, Nicol explained.
“We’ve never had a building designed for
modern policing until now,” Nicol said.
The current police department consists of
two adjoined buildings: one built in 1910,
measuring 2,000 square feet, and another
constructed in 1920, measuring 4,400 square
feet. Together, these buildings total less than
half the size of the future headquarters.
“The modern design will be much safer,”
Nicol said.
In addition to improved security measures

for arrestees, the new facility will provide officers
and detectives with more workspace for
writing reports, as well as additional areas for
conflict mediation and interviewing witnesses
or victims.
The headquarters will also feature secure
parking for police cruisers and a sallyport–a
designated area for safely transporting arrestees
between vehicles and the processing
area inside the station.
“Our new headquarters will provide all the
features required for a modern police station,
including adequate office space, a training
room, larger record storage, and evidence
storage,” Closser said.
Construction is expected to begin in May.
On March 6, London City Council approved
legislation appropriating the necessary
funds for the project. More than half of
the $9 million cost will be covered by federal
funding. The city received a $5 million grant
from the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), Nicol said.
The USDA’s Community Facilities Direct
Loan and Grant Program provides funding
for essential community facilities in rural
areas, such as health clinics, town halls, libraries,
fire stations, and police stations, according
to the USDA’s website.
To cover the remaining cost, the London
City Council approved issuing $4 million in
bonds to fund the rest of the capital improvement
project.

A new $9 million headquarters for the London Police Department is expected to open
by fall 2026 at the northeast corner of South Walnut Street and East First Street.
Dairy producers: 2025 margin coverage program deadline is March 31
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is encouraging dairy producers
to enroll in Dairy Margin Coverage
(DMC), an important safety net program
that helps offset milk and feed
price differences. This year’s DMC
signup began Jan. 29 and the deadline
to enroll is March 31.
“We encourage producers to join the
368 dairy operations in Ohio that have
already signed up for this important
safety net program in advance of the
deadline,” said USDA Farm Service
Agency (FSA) Deputy State Executive
Director Traci Garza. “At $0.15 per hundredweight
for $9.50 coverage, risk protection
through Dairy Margin Coverage
is a cost-effective tool to manage risk and
provide security for your operations.”
The American Relief Act, 2025 extended
provisions of the Agricultural Improvement
Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill)
authorizing DMC for coverage year 2025.
DMC provides dairy operations
with risk management coverage that
pays producers when the difference
(the margin) between the national
price of milk and the average cost of
feed falls below a certain level selected
by the program participants.
DMC offers different levels of coverage
minus a $100 administrative fee.
The administrative fee is waived for
dairy producers who are considered
limited resource, beginning, socially
disadvantaged or a military veteran.
DMC payments are calculated
using updated feed and premium hay
costs, making the program more reflective
of actual dairy producer expenses.
For more information on DMC, visit
the DMC webpage or contact the London

prepare for a job in
the electrical industry,”
says Barton
Hacker, President of
Associated Builders
& Contractors (ABC)
Central Ohio, a construction
industry
trade organization.
“There are multiple
billion-dollar projects
going on in Columbus
right now. If a
student is interested
and excelling and
has a year of electrical
training, they’ll
be employed
quickly.”
“The need for
electrical construction
in Central Ohio
has grown exponentially
in the past several
years," agrees
Trent Parker, Director
of the Electrical
Trades Center,
which serves the International
Brotherhood
of Electrical
Workers Local 683.
“I have been working
here since 2005 and
in those years, we
had around 250 apprentices
enrolled at
any given time. But
from 2018 to today,
we have almost
tripled in size. Right
now, we have over
650 apprentices registered
with the Department
of Labor
who are attending
classes and completing
their on-the-job
training.”
And there’s no end
in sight, he adds. “In
the next two or three
years, we will eclipse
the 800 apprentice
mark.
There is just an
unbelievable number
of projects of significant
dollar size being
completed or still on
the books to get
started.”
The Tolles program
could provide a
pipeline for the local
electrical industry,
helping employers
find the workers they
need and students
find lucrative opportunities directly upon
graduation.
“The electrical apprenticeship program,
which would be the next step for students
after they graduate high school, is an earnwhile-you-lean
model,” Parker explains.
“They are earning wages while they’re
learning and walking away with tangible
skills, health care benefits, a pension — and
they have accrued zero college debt.”
“Right now when someone completes our
apprenticeship program, their wage minimum
is at least $40.50 per hour,” he adds.
Completing Tolles’ Electrical Program
will also give graduates a distinct advantage
if they opt to apply to an electrical apprenticeship
program after Tolles.
“It’s going to help them tremendously,”
Parker says. “They should be better qualified
candidates and students who go through
the Tolles’ program will be eligible to receive
some on-the-job credits.”
That could allow faster completion of an
apprenticeship program.
Students with a full year of electrical
training will also have an easier time getting
a job upon graduation.
“By making the program seniors only, it’s
going to be a lot easier to connect with the
industry,” Hacker says.
“Companies can see the end point for
these students and they can incorporate an
informal internship into their studies so
they can get the experience and be ready
upon graduation for a job. It could provide
near-immediate access to the next generation
workforce.”
“I used to tell people if you’re looking for
an electrical job, it might take me a week,”
Hacker continues. “That still holds true
today. A student who wants to start a job in
the electrical industry within a week of
graduating, we can find you a company
that’s hiring.”
And with an average annual wage of
www.madisonmessengernews.com
Tolles Career & Tech. Center to launch electrical program this fall
SPECIAL OFFER
$69,303 — including fringe benefits — for electricians
in Ohio, these are good paying jobs,
Hacker says. “For kids coming straight out
of school, I see $20-$25 per hour. Both my
kids do construction in the summer and
make that. One of my boys was working a
skilled trade so he made closer to $35 an
hour. They were making good money right
out of high school.”
Electrical careers — like all construction
trades — have evolved and become more sophisticated
over the years, he adds.
“It’s not the career your mom or dad
might think it is,” Hacker says. “Construction
used to be compared to
LEGOs and Lincoln Logs — putting
things together. That’s changed. The
metaphor now is Minecraft. It’s the ability
to use and manipulate computer programs
to understand traditional processes. It’s all
technological advances and things you build
and create. It’s not just wiring a plug into
your house.”
“This is the furthest thing away from monotonous
you can get,” echoes Parker. “The
electrical industry is advancing and changing
more rapidly than probably any other
construction trade.”
Students who have good spatial reasoning
skills, enjoy working with their hands,
building things, working in a team environment,
having a variety of tasks and new
challenges each day and aren’t afraid of
hard, but rewarding work should do well in
Tolles’ new Electrical Program, Parker says.
To learn more or apply for a spot in the program,
contract Cindy Alderman as (614)
873-4666 (extension 4295) or email at calderman@tollestech.com
“This is a great career choice,” Parker
says.
“Construction is cool,” agrees Hacker.
“People forget that.”

HAMMOND
It is with heavy hearts that we share the
unexpected passing of Joshua Ray Hammond
on March 19, into his heavenly home
at the age of 40. Born July 26, 1984, in
Cleveland, Ohio, he was the eldest son of
Frank and Cheryl Hammond.
Joshua spent his youth in Tennessee, returning
to Ohio in 1994. He graduated in
2002 from London High School and moved
to Florida for several years before returning
to Ohio. Joshua adopted a faithful feline
companion in 2008, Starfire, who remained
glued to his side until his passing. A music
fanatic, Joshua enjoyed all genres and became
an avid record collector. Joshua collected
shoes, coats and became quite the
bargain hunter at auctions where he would
always seem to come home with a new project
to work on. Joshua loved nature, camping,
and his daughter, Haley remembers
childhood trips to the park. He enjoyed playing
cards and chess which quickly became
some of his favorite family pastimes with
son, Crosby. His son, Brody, will remember
the hours Joshua spent playing catch and
sharing the passion of baseball. Joshua also
assisted with the local London Area Baseball
Council teams. An avid Cleveland fan,
Joshua was sure to never miss a Cavaliers
or Indians game. Joshua will also be remembered
for his kind disposition and his
love and knowledge of the starry night sky.
Joshua was growing in the Lord at Guide
Church in Hilliard, Ohio, even attending
nightly revival the week of his passing and
encouraging others to attend.
Joshua strived to be the best dad he
could. His family was the light of his life.
Although our hearts are saddened by his
passing, the priceless memories of time together
will forever be cherished and fondly
remembered for years to come. He will be
missed deeply and forever loved.
Joshua leaves behind his loving wife
April (Abbott) Hammond; beloved children
Haley, Crosby, and Brody Hammond;
mother Cheryl Hammond and father
Franklin Hammond Jr.; grandfathers
Franklin Hammond Sr. and William
Stevens; siblings: Cori (Les) Holcomb,
Franklin (Nicole) Hammond, and Joy
(Bryan Hall) Hammond; nieces and
nephews Alex, Dalton, Riley, Olivia, Devin,
Landon, Kole, Alton, Lillian, Emiko, Allison
(Taylor), and Jenna (Tucker); several great
nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles; motherin-law
Rhonda Abbott; brother-in-law Jeremy
(Tiffany Rudd) Abbott, and
sister-in-law Alison (Shane Silvers) Abbott;
very special second family, The Mundens
who treated him as their fifth son.
He was preceded in death by his grandmothers
Barbara Hammond and Kathlynn
Stevens; uncles Gathal Hammond and Jeff
Hammond, aunt Theresa McDonough; father-in-law
Eric Abbott.
Joshua’s family received friends for visitation
on March 29 in the EBERLE-
FISHER FUNERAL HOME AND
CREMATORY, 103 North Main Street, London,
Ohio 43140. A funeral service commenced
with Pastor Jeremy Stout who led
Joshua to Jesus. Private interment in Paint
Township Cemetery will be held at the convenience
of Joshua’s family.
Memorials in Joshua’s name may be sent
for the benevolence of his children and may
be submitted either online through the “Donations”
tab on the top of the obituary, or by
contacting the funeral home directly.

Madison Plains continues powerlifting state championship tradition
By Coach Michael Siders
The Madison Plains Powerlifting Tradition
Teams traveled to Kenton on March 15
for the Bill McClains Powerlifting Meet.
The Madison Plains Powerlifting Tradition
Teams has been around since 2011. The
program consists of our school athletes
that train in the weight room
year-round which is the foundation
of winning in life and winning championships.
Our lifters consist of football,
wrestling, basketball (both girls and
guys), volleyball, baseball, softball,
track, cheerleaders and just the
lifter that is a powerlifter. These kids compete
in other sports and still have time to
win championships and place in Divisions
5,6 and 7.
This meet has been up and running for
37 years and has been proclaimed to be the
Ohio High School State Powerlifting Championships.
Is there a formula? Yes, this is because
all the athletic programs are supporting
each other through all the different seasons
and doing what is in the best interest of our
kids at Madison Plains.
I have said this for many years, "It takes a
community to win championships. The core
value of MP Tradition Powerlifting is Team
First and Me Second.”
We coach our kids to be "selfless and not
selfish.” The expectation at Madison Plains
is to win championships in any sport we
have, and even more important - to teach
our kids to win in life. In order to win, you
have to exceed expectations as well as learn
to overcome and face adversity.
Leading the charge this year for the MP
Girls Team is three-time Ohio High School
State Powerlifting Champion (in the 155lb
Girls Weight Class), Senior Mackenzie
Reeves. Reeves is a four-sport varsity athlete
at Madison Plains, participating in volleyball,
basketball, softball and powerlifting.
She is the only three-time state individual
champion in school history. Mackenzie
placed first as an individual in the 155 lb
weight class with the top deadlift at 365 lbs
and top squat of 350 lbs.
Along with Reeves, is first-time state
champion Megan West, leading the 125 lb
class. Reeves set a new state record in squat
at 325 lbs and had the top deadlift of 290 lbs.
Dallas Johnston led the boys team with
his second individual state clinching 195 lb
Boys with the top squat of 600 lbs.
Hayes Smith, first-time state champion,
led the weight class of 165 lbs with the top
squat of 510 lbs and top deadlift of 470 lbs.
These lifters continue the tradition of individual
state champions at Madison
Plains High School now totaling 12
girls and six guys with plenty more
to come in the future! These stats
lead Madison County High Schools
with more individual state champions
in any sport!
Madison Plains Powerlifting Tradition
makes the mark for our Girls
Team as a three-peat championships totaling
5745 lbs. This will put another mark on
the banner, which makes it the fourth team
championships that the girls hold in school
history. While the boys powerlifting team
has only one Boys Team State Championship
Banner in history done in 2019. The
Guys Madison Plains Powerlifting Tradition
Team placed second this year in Divisions
5,6,and 7 at the Bill McClain Ohio
State Powerlifting Meet showing some
promise in the future to climb the ladder
with such a young team. They were shy of
the schools record of 12,635 lbs, school
record 12,890 lbs
Our lifters, parents and coaches had a
long and remarkable day! The Ohio High
School State Powerlifting meet had close to
350 lifters total. We took 37 lifters to represent
Madison Plains. Madison Plains had
many State placers in each weight class as
well as. The state meet takes the top eight
girls in each weight class which we had 11
out of 16 places and the boys take the top 12
in each weight class which we had nine out
of 22 for individual placing.
It was such a rewarding day for Coach
Paul Bryant and Coach Michael Siders to be
able to coach such great kids that represent
Madison Plains High School. To top things
off for the day our Girls Team clinched the
state titles three years in a row which is historic
for any Madison County High School
athletic team!
I must say it was a humbling moment for
our school. Words can not express what us
coaches get out of being able to do this with
such great support from our community,
school board, administrators, parents,
coaches and our students! (Commitment To
Excellence!)

The National Trade Association
we belong to has
purchased the following
classifieds. Determining
the value of their service
or product is advised by
this publication. In order
to avoid misunderstandings,
some advertisers do
not offer “employment”
but rather supply the
readers with manuals, directories
and other materials
designed to help
their clients establish mail
order selling and other
businesses at home. Under
NO circumstance
should you send any
money in advance or give
the client your checking,
license ID or credit card
numbers. Also beware of
ads that claim to guarantee
loans regardless of
credit and note that if a
credit repair company
does business only over
the phone it’s illegal to request
any money before
delivering its service. All
funds are based in US
dollars. Toll Free numbers
may or may not
reach Canada. Please
