On your mark. Get set. Grocery! The

Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) and

The Kroger Co of Columbus Division celebrated

National Agriculture Month in the

grocery store March 28 with a supermarket

showdown event to promote locally grown

and made products.

Local celebrity shoppers raced through

the aisles of the Kroger Marketplace in

Plain City, filling their shopping carts with

as many Ohio Proud grocery products as

possible for a limited amount of time. All

the items collected during the race are

being donated by The Kroger Co of Columbus

to the Plain City Food Pantry to help

community members in need.

“It’s a great day for agriculture when we

can combine promoting Ohio’s home-grown

foods and products with uplifting our local

communities,” said ODA Director Brian

Baldridge. “This food plays a vital role in

our economy and contributes to the nutritional

diversity and health of Ohio’s communities.

We appreciate our partnership

with Kroger to help provide those fresh,

quality products to our neighbors who need

it most.”

Celebrity shoppers included ODA Director

Brian Baldridge, Rep. Rodney Creech

(Chair, House Agriculture Committee),

Bagster (Kroger

Mascot), Mr. Pig

(Ohio Pork Council

Mascot), Sen. Beth

Liston (Member,

Senate Agriculture

and Natural Resources

Committee),

Brutus Buckeye

(The Ohio State

University Mascot),

and Amberly

In all, $5,608.52 of food was collected for

the Plain City Food Pantry. Brutus Buckeye

had the highest individual total, rounding

up $967.71 worth of groceries.

Ohio Proud products can be found in

nearly all grocery stores across Ohio, locally

owned shops, and farmers markets.

The membership program through ODA

showcases food and agricultural products

that are at least 50% grown, raised, or

processed in the Buckeye State. Ohio Proud

helps small businesses stick out in a marketplace

like Kroger, which serves 11 million

customers daily.

“We are thrilled to host this exciting

event at our local store, dedicated to supporting

the incredible work of the Plain

City Food Pantry in feeding our neighbors

in need,” said Mark Bruce, corporate affairs

manager for the Columbus Division. “This

event is a wonderful opportunity to come

together, enjoy local flavors, and make a

meaningful impact in our community.”

Outside of the grocery store in the

Jerome Village Marketplace, ODA’s Division

of Weights and Measures had its

heavy-capacity scale testing truck on display,

which is used to check vehicle and

livestock scales across Ohio.

During the month of March, ODA encourages

all Ohioans to recognize our farmers,

food processors, agricultural

businesses, and industry for National Agriculture

Month.

Food and agriculture is Ohio’s number

one industry, adding $124 billion to the

economy each year. From those tending

fields to those involved in our restaurant

industry, 1 in 8 Ohioans are employed in

the agricultural community that serves us

with dedication and care. More than 200

different crops and livestock are grown and

raised in Ohio, providing families with

food, fuel, and fiber.

PAGE 2 - MADISON MESSENGER - April 6, 2025

No Labels. Just Neighbors

Recently, the Ohio legislature made a bold decision to pass Senate Bill

1, which ended state-mandated. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs

in our colleges and universities.

I know this decision is controversial. And I know some are afraid. Afraid

that ending DEI means erasing people. Afraid that voices will be silenced.

Afraid that progress will be undone.

Let me speak directly to that fear: This is not about censure or erasure. It

is not about exclusion. It is about inclusion that transcends labels.

Because DEI has become a system that sorts us—by race, by gender, by

identity—creating a culture where we are defined by our categories instead

of our character. Where we look at each other’s faces instead of listening

to each other’s hearts.

That’s not real inclusion. That’s division with good intentions.

Now is the time for a new vision that moves us from division to unity. A

vision that believes in the power of people over programs. That believes

in true inclusion, not institutional separation.

I dare to believe that we can—and must—build a future where our

care for one another isn’t assigned or mandated but lived out in how we

treat each other every day.

A future rooted in this simple, powerful idea:

No labels. Just neighbors

It’s time to remove the labels.

We can do better. And we must do better. Because we are NEIGHBORS.

What’s good for your family is also good for my family. Mi casa es Su casa.

Your struggle is my struggle. Because we are ONE.

We are Ohioans. We are Americans. We are Neighbors.

The Bible teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Therefore,

My success should uplift you, not leave you behind.

In the words of the late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Injustice

anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

And that’s what this moment demands—that we stop treating justice

as something to be distributed based on categories and start treating it

as a collective concern that we build together.

Ohio is not a place of boxes. We are a place of people. People with dreams,

fears, goals, and grit.

We are 11 million strong of white, Black, Latino, Asian, rural, urban, gay,

straight, immigrant, and native-born—and all of us belong here.

However, we do not need the DEI bureaucracy to prove that. We need

each other. We need classrooms that teach students to think, not conform.

We need universities that unify, not divide.

And we need a state that says: Your worth IS NOT based on your label—

it’s based on your humanity. While we cannot turn back the clock, we

can turn over the page. To move beyond artificial inclusion and into

something real. To move beyond mediocrity and into meritocracy. Something

that says: You don’t need a program to belong. You belong because

you’re human. Because you’re valued. Because you’re my neighbor.

This is not about doing less for some. It’s about building more for everyone—together.

As we end the era of “us versus them, let us walk forward as Ohioans, as

Americans, and most importantly, as Neighbors. Because in this house,

in this state, at this moment— There are No labels. Just Neighbors.

I call on all leaders to join me in a promise to Ohioans to make this commitment

to our communities, especially those of us with diverse districts,

that we will uplift all Ohioans and leave no one behind.

Results matter, so let’s work together. Subscribe and follow me on social

media for updates.

State investment

needed to fight hunger

As our elected lawmakers work out

Ohio’s next two-year budget, they are considering

cutting funding to pantries and

food banks helping our hungry neighbors.

Real Ohioans are struggling and now is not

the time to cut state support for food banks

and take meals off people’s tables.

The need for food assistance in Mid-Ohio

Food Collective’s 20-county service area —

including Franklin and Madison counties —

rose by 38 percent from 2022 to 2024. Last

year was the busiest ever in our 45-year history.

How can that be? Simply put, we are

still living with the economy of the past few

years. Wages rose after the pandemic, but

voters are still dealing with inflation. Rent,

utilities, and medicine cost more. The prices

of groceries, eggs, and meat have gone up.

We hope things will improve soon, but we

know families are hurting now.

In the face of all those challenges,

Ohioans are working harder than ever. We

meet caregivers every day who are working

full-time. Many have multiple jobs. And for

seniors, veterans, and disabled people,

working may not be an option. In 2024,

three out of four households we helped included

at least one child or senior.

Now is the time for Ohioans to look out

for each other, especially with the federal

government considering rolling back national

food programs. Please join me and

Ohio’s hunger relief network in asking our

state lawmakers to do their part and restore

support for the food banks that have our

neighbors’ backs.

Agrivoltaics: Bridging the Gap Between Agriculture and Renewable Energy

Agrivoltaics represents the future of farming

and solar, and the Oak Run Solar Project

is a prime example of its potential. With almost

a decade of experience in the agrivoltaics

industry, I have seen firsthand how

these projects have the potential to regenerate

farmland and revitalize farm families

across the United States.

As a farmer and USDA-NRCS Technical

Service Provider, I understand the economic

benefits agrivoltaics can bring to communities.

This innovative approach not only supports

crop production but also supports local

agricultural businesses and other local businesses.

By integrating solar energy with

agriculture, we can create stable income opportunities

for farmers while addressing energy

needs.

While large land developers may have the

financial resources to acquire vast tracts of

land, it is farmers who foster community connections

and feed and fuel our communities.

Support for agrivoltaics is crucial for spreading

awareness about how these initiatives

can positively impact farmers and rural communities.

The Oak Run Solar Project exemplifies

this vision, combining renewable energy production

with agricultural innovation. By supporting

the Oak Run Solar Projects and its

agrivoltaics initiatives, we can help this

farming community thrive while contributing

to meeting the growing energy demands

of this region.

With loving hearts, we announce the passing of our

mother, Helen Elizabeth "Libby" (Wilson) Rowe. She

was born on July 23,1934 in Madison County, Ohio and

died peacefully on March 26, 2025.

She was the daughter of J. Bryan and Ethyl (Holt)

Wilson. She graduated from Madison Rural High School

and attended The Ohio State University. She was a lifelong

proud Buckeye and member of the alumni association.

In 1960, she moved with her husband to Southern

California. She worked for Owens Illinois, Libbey Glass

as a purchasing agent for over 30 years.

Libby enjoyed traveling to such places as Hawaii,

Acapulco, Tijuana, Route 66 and Palm Springs. She always

loved coming back to Madison County and visiting

family and after retirement, chose to make her home

there.

She is survived by her daughters, Roxanne (Bob)

Alderson of Columbus and Nanette (Don) Roberts of

Folsom, CA; her grandchildren, Justin Regan, Andrea

Regan, Jourdain (Joel) Richart and Josiah (Amy)

Roberts; great grandchildren, Liam Richart and Elliana

Roberts.

Libby was preceded in death by her parents; first

husband Ted Graves and her second husband Bob

Rowe; sister Martha Vivian “Bea (Colonel Jay) Hunter.

It was Mother’s request that there be no visitation or

service and that her remains be cremated.


CREMATORY, 103 North Main Street, London, is honored

to be caring for the Rowe family during this difficult

time. Condolences for Libby are encouraged to be

shared online at www.eberlefisherfuneralhome.com.

ISAACS

Sandra S. Isaacs was born April 20th in 1945 to John

and Bea Thomas. She was one of nine children. She was

preceded in death by her late husband, Marvin Isaacs.

She leaves behind a daughter, three grandchildren, and

a great-grandson. She was a farm wife and enjoyed puzzles,

reading, word search, scrapbooking, and doing her

ancestry. She loved watching the hummingbirds and

seeing the sunshine. She will be greatly missed by the

many people who loved her and all the kids she helped

raise.

Private services will be held at the convenience of her

family with interment in Paint Memorial Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family recommends memorials

in Sandy’s name be sent to benefit Heartland Hospice,
