<strong>June</strong> 13-15: Mt. Sterling Summer Jam Festival<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
More music, plenty of food options, new children’s activities—this<br />
year’s Summer Jam has it all.<br />
Hosted by the Mount Sterling Chamber of Commerce, Summer<br />
Jam is a three-day festival that takes place on the streets of downtown<br />
Mount Sterling. Dates and hours are <strong>June</strong> 13 from 5 to 10<br />
p.m., <strong>June</strong> 14 from 5 to 11 p.m., and <strong>June</strong> 15 from 12 to 11 p.m.<br />
Music<br />
New this year is an additional location to hear live music—the<br />
gazebo across from town hall. Two solo acts and a trio are slated to<br />
entertain there, including: Mount Sterling resident Tiger Wyatt<br />
performing country music; Toadstool Shadow, a folk trio out of<br />
Chillicothe; and country and midwestern artist West Taylor, a<br />
Mount Sterling native now living in Columbus.<br />
“The gazebo is a way to incorporate more music than we have in<br />
the past. This way, there will be music going at all times somewhere<br />
at the festival,” said Barbie Wallace, one of the event organizers.<br />
Bands slated to perform at the stage near Hammer Time Pub,<br />
27 S. London St., include Tiger Wyatt, the bluegrass group Drivin’<br />
23, the local classic rock, pop, and country band Lake Effect, and<br />
Distorted Silence playing originals and rock covers from the 1970s<br />
to now.<br />
The music lineup at the stage near the Mount Sterling Masonic<br />
Lodge, 48 N. London St., includes Colt & The 45s and Bodie &<br />
Jameson. Both are groups comprised of local youths performing<br />
publicly for the first time.<br />
Food and Shopping<br />
The food options at the festival are many and varied. The Mount<br />
Sterling Eagles Youth League will sell goodies including pulled<br />
pork, walking tacos, and macaroni and<br />
cheese. The First United Methodist Church<br />
is back with their famous sugar waffles. The<br />
Masonic Lodge will sell lemonade shakeups.<br />
Food trucks in the lineup include Belle’s Ice<br />

LEGAL NOTICE<br />
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has scheduled a public hearing in<br />
Case No. 22-693-EL-ABN, In the Matter of the Application of Ohio Power<br />
Company for Authority to Abandon Electric Service Lines, Pursuant to Ohio<br />
Revised Code Sections 4904.20 and 4905.21. Ohio Power Company d/b/a<br />
AEP Ohio (AEP Ohio) alleges that on May 19, 2022, Nationwide Energy<br />
Partners, LLC (NEP) requested that AEP Ohio abandon distribution facilities<br />
at the Northtowne Apartments (Northtowne) in Columbus, Ohio in order for<br />
NEP to establish master-meter service on the property. AEP Ohio asserts that it<br />
has exclusively provided electric distribution services to Northtowne, noting<br />
that service has been provided via distribution facilities at the property such as<br />
distribution lines, conduit, meters, riders, and transformers. AEP Ohio believes<br />
that NEP’s conversion request would require AEP Ohio to abandon such distribution<br />
facilities on the property, resulting in termination of AEP Ohio’s exclusive<br />
service to its existing 293 customers at Northtowne. AEP Ohio argues that<br />
such abandonment would be against the welfare of the public, as contemplated<br />
under R.C. 4905.21. Additionally, AEP Ohio states that, to the extent that it is<br />
required to convert Northtowne to master-meter service from NEP, it intends<br />
to provide a single point of primary service to the perimeter of the Northtowne<br />
property line rather than providing 59 secondary service points, which is the<br />
current configuration on the property.<br />
An evidentiary hearing in this proceeding will commence on <strong>June</strong> 24, <strong>2024</strong>, at<br />
10:00 a.m., at the offices of the Commission, Hearing Room 11-A, 180 East<br />
Broad Street, 11th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215.<br />

BROWN<br />
Louise G. Brown, 93, of London, Ohio, passed away in the arms<br />
of her family on May 30, <strong>2024</strong>, at London Health and Rehabilitation.<br />
Born on April 16, 1931, in Tazewell, Virginia, she was a daughter<br />
of Arthur Compton and Ginnie (Johnson) Compton.<br />
Louise worked for General Motors on the production line for 24<br />
years. As ornery as they come, Louise was no stranger to playing a<br />
prank on others. She loved the color purple and always felt her best<br />
while wearing it. Additionally, Louise was a bingo player; however,<br />
bingo was never recreational to her, but rather more of a competitive<br />
sport. She would always strive to be the best player she could<br />
be and never settle for anything less!<br />
She enjoyed the musician that the facility brought in. Loved all<br />
the activities, outings, and parties that were provided by London<br />
