The village of Plain City has a new park.<br />
A grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Meadows Park took place on <strong>June</strong> 5. The<br />
11.9-acre park is located at 933 Caroline Dr. in the<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Meadows housing development on the southwest<br />
side of the village. The park is open to the public.<br />
The main features at this time are a playground<br />
and shelter house. The playground includes a large<br />
cargo net for climbing, multiple slides, monkey bars,<br />
a merry-go-round accessible to children of all abilities,<br />
a handicap accessible swing, sensory play components,<br />
and more. The equipment is geared toward children<br />
ages 5 to 12 years old but includes smaller<br />
components for younger children. Two tables with<br />
shade covers also are part of the playground area.<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Meadows is the village’s first truly accessible<br />
playground when it comes to getting to it and<br />
around it, said Linda Granger, Plain City’s parks and<br />
recreation director. That’s thanks to an ADA (Americans<br />
with Disabilities Act) compliant sidewalk that<br />
runs between the parking area and the playground<br />
and around the playground itself.<br />
The park’s shelter house is open-sided, outfitted<br />
with eight 8-foot-long picnic tables, and has attached<br />
restrooms that will be open starting the week of <strong>June</strong><br />
16. The restrooms are equipped with automatic locks<br />
that will be in operation during park hours. The shelter<br />
house is available to rent for a fee. Rentals can be<br />
made at www.plain-city.com or by calling (614) 873-<br />
3527, ext. 108.<br />
Currently, hours for all Plain City parks are 6 a.m.<br />
to midnight. The village’s parks and recreation committee<br />
and village council are reviewing park hours<br />

and rules. Changes are possible, Granger said.<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Meadows park was made possible through<br />
a collaboration between the village and D.R. Horton, the<br />
neighborhood’s developer. Plain City requires each new<br />
development to dedicate 25 percent of the development’s<br />
acreage to green space. For <strong>Madison</strong> Meadows Park,<br />
D.R. Horton turned over the 11.9 acres to the village<br />
and covered the cost of the shelter house and parking<br />
lot. In exchange, the village forgave some of the park<br />
impact fees that come with new developments, Granger<br />

Jefferson Schools team up with ESC<br />
By Linda Dillman<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Jefferson Local Schools signed a nearly $1 million<br />
agreement with the <strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign Educational<br />
Service Center to provide services for the <strong>2024</strong>-25 school<br />
year not provided in-house by the district.<br />
The list includes many special education instructional<br />
programs, physical and occupational therapy<br />
services, and gifted instruction. Services also include<br />
preschool instruction, speech therapy, school psychology,<br />
and MD instruction.<br />
Audiology and vision intervention services may also<br />
be arranged, but are determined by the school district<br />
and paid directly to the ESC under separate billing.<br />
According to the agreement and based on the estimated<br />
cost of services provided by the educational service<br />
center, the district agrees to pay<br />
<strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign $969,703.<br />
Prior to a <strong>June</strong> 11 school board meeting, Superintendent<br />
William Mullett said the district contracted with<br />
the ESC for at least 20 years to provide services to Jefferson<br />
Local Schools.<br />
“A big increase came when we had to provide preschool<br />
services (still an unfunded state mandate) about<br />
10 years ago,” said Mullett, “and this year they’re<br />
Peak Bloom Bike Rides<br />
The <strong>Madison</strong> Soil and Water Conservation District<br />
offers a great opportunity to see key pollinator habitats<br />
in action during the Peak Bloom Bike ride series. The<br />
bike tours begin at the Prairie Grass Trailhead, located<br />
behind the <strong>Madison</strong> County Senior Center in London,<br />
and stop at several remnant prairie sites that support<br />
native wildflowers and grasses and have been here since<br />
adding a school psychologist, so that would be an additional<br />
position for one year.”<br />
The school district currently employs its own school<br />
psychologist. The <strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign position would<br />
be in addition to the staff position.<br />
According to the agreement unanimously approved<br />
by the board, “The district agrees to make payment in<br />
the amount…by having this amount deducted from the<br />
district’s state foundation payments and paid instead to<br />
the <strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign ESC by approving the contract.”<br />
Since the agreement is based on estimated costs, reconciliation<br />
of actual costs for services will take place at<br />
the end of the fiscal year in 2025 with either settlement<br />
of any outstanding payments or a refund to the district<br />
for overpayment.<br />
<strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign is responsible for checking the<br />
credentials/licenses of all individuals providing services<br />
under the agreement and ensuring all applicable criminal<br />
records/background checks are conducted.<br />
“The board agrees that it shall be responsible for conducting<br />
evaluations of <strong>Madison</strong>-Champaign ESC personnel<br />
assigned to the district…”<br />
The service agreement starts July 1, <strong>2024</strong>, and ends<br />
<strong>June</strong> 30, 2025.<br />
explained.<br />
The village has invested approximately $300,000<br />
into the playground equipment, poured rubber surface<br />
for the playground, drainage work, sidewalk, and picnic<br />
tables. An $83,000 grant from the Ohio Department of<br />
Natural Resources is covering part of that cost.<br />
More improvements are on the horizon. Installation<br />
of dog waste stations and bike racks are coming soon.<br />
Future phases will include a walking path that goes<br />
around the entire park and youth sports fields.<br />
drawing will be livestreamed.<br />
All proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.<br />
Last year, the Ohio Cobra Club donated $225,000 to the<br />
foundation. Since the show’s beginnings in the early<br />
2000s, the club has donated $2,325,000 to the foundation.<br />
The club also makes donations to London and <strong>Madison</strong><br />
County first responders as a way thank the city and<br />
county for their services and support during the show.<br />
Last year, those donations were as follows: London Fire<br />
and EMS Department, $6,500; London Police Department,<br />
$6,500; <strong>Madison</strong> County DARE program, $3,250;<br />
and <strong>Madison</strong> County Deputy Sheriffs Association,<br />
$3,250.<br />
The show in London is part of the Ohio Cobra Club’s<br />
annual three-day celebration. Other activities take<br />
place in and around Dublin. To learn more about the<br />
club, the celebration, and the London show or to purchase<br />

Making hay while the sun shines<br />
By Rick Palsgrove<br />
Groveport <strong>Messenger</strong> Editor<br />
The hot days of summer mean it is time to gather hay<br />
down on the farm.<br />
At Metro Parks Slate Run Living Historical Farm, 1375<br />
State Route 674 North, Canal Winchester, the farmers cut<br />
and gather hay 1880s style.<br />
According to information provided by Metro Parks, hay<br />
seed in the 19th century was commonly sown in the fields<br />
of wheat, oats, or barley. The hay plants would grow while<br />
protected by the taller grain crop. After the grain was harvested<br />
the hay would keep growing making the field twice<br />
as useful for the farmer.<br />
Slate Run Living Historical Farm farmer Dave Trotter<br />
said the hay on this farm primarily consists of orchard<br />
grass, leaves, and timothy.<br />
According to Metro Parks information, clover for use as<br />
hay is higher in protein, which is good for the animals who<br />
eat it, and for soil enrichment. But Trotter added that<br />
clover also has disadvantages.<br />
“Clover is nutritionally nice,” said Trotter. “But it is hard<br />
to work with. It can dry out and shatter and turn to dust.”<br />
When the hay in the fields is ready to be gathered, it is<br />
mowed and then raked either by hand or by a horse drawn<br />
hay rake.<br />
A hay loader is used to place the hay on a wagon. Trotter<br />
said this machine replaced six people when it came to gathering<br />
hay in the 1880s as it enabled two people to do the<br />
work.<br />
“You have one person on the wagon and one person to<br />
drive the horses, (in this case large Percheron horses),” said<br />
Trotter.<br />
The particular hay loader the farmers use at Slate Run<br />
dates from the early 1900s, but it has similarities to ones<br />
used in the 1880s. It is a formidable looking piece of machinery<br />
consisting of spikes, claws, chains, and gears on a<br />
wooden bed.<br />
At Slate Run Living Historical Farm, the farmers put<br />
the hay up in the barn loose rather than in bales.<br />
Most hay in the late 19th century was put up loose in<br />
the barn rather than baled because baling slowed the<br />
process and required more expensive equipment. Though<br />
some farmers might have baled some hay in those days to<br />
sell it at market.<br />
Once a wagon is piled high with hay it is wheeled to the<br />
barn where the loose hay is unloaded into the mow. While<br />
the hay could be pitched into the mow by hand using pitchforks,<br />
most farmers of that era used carriers and tracks to<br />
lift and move the hay.<br />
According to information provided by Metro Parks, the<br />
barn at Slate Run Living Historical Farm, which was built<br />
in 1881, was designed to use a track system.<br />
A grapple fork held the hay as it was lifted<br />
by a horse pulling on the hay rope. The fork<br />
latched into the carrier at the top of the barn<br />
and rolled along the track. Pulling a trip<br />
rope opened the fork allowing the hay to<br />
drop into the middle of the mow. The hay<br />
was pitched to the sides and more hay<br />
brought up.<br />
So, what’s the difference between hay<br />
and straw?<br />
Hay is the dried leaves, stems, and flowers<br />
of grasses that are used for animal feed.<br />
Straw is the dried stalks of grain plants<br />
such as oats, wheat, and barley that have<br />
been beaten or threshed to remove the seed.<br />
Straw was used for animal bedding as well<br />
as for garden mulch, fertilizer, stuffing<br />
horse collars, making hats, and strawboard.<br />

‘Late Night’ deftly combines humor and horror<br />
“Ladies and gentlemen, please stay tuned for a live television<br />
first as we attempt to commune with the devil…But not before a<br />
word from our sponsors.”<br />
With the utterance of this sentence, I knew I had stumbled upon<br />
a rare find in the horror movie genre: a film that can slay the audience<br />
with well placed dark humor just as easily as it can kill as a<br />
character you have come to adore.<br />
Written and directed by Australian brothers Cameron and Colin<br />
Cairnes, “Late Night with the Devil” is easily one of the most satisfying<br />
horror movies I have seen in quite some time. Featuring a<br />
slew of funny moments that do not overshadow the increasing sense<br />
of doom, this film that is now streaming on demand is a roller<br />
coaster of bizarre entertainment from start to finish.<br />
“Late Night with the Devil” opens in a documentary-esque fashion<br />
with some of the more memorable happenings from the 1970s.<br />
Narrated by Michael Ironside, we see riots, mass murders, corrupt<br />
presidents, and parents clutching their pearls over individuals who<br />
proclaim to worship Satan. There is even a bit about the scandalous<br />
backstory of the lead character, Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian),<br />
you have to keep in the back of your mind as this fever dream unfolds.<br />
Jack is the ambitious and personable host of the late night variety<br />
show, “Night Owls with Jack Delroy.” The company UBC<br />
brought the popular radio announcer over from Chicago in the<br />
hopes he would compete with — and ultimately conquer — the late<br />
night king, Johnny Carson. Although the show has gone toe-to-toe<br />
in the ratings wars, “Jack and Night Owls” is always just a step behind.<br />
“They are the perennial also-ran,” says the narrator, quite<br />
brutally.<br />

With just a year left on his contract,<br />
Jack loses his creative partner,<br />
muse, and loving wife Madeline<br />
(Georgina Haig) to cancer. In his<br />
grief, Jack goes “missing” for a month<br />
and then comes back refreshed and<br />
ready to do anything to keep his show — and their legacy<br />
— alive.<br />
At first, his idea of keeping the show alive involves<br />
courting controversy to grow the audience. Turns out,<br />
the people of the 1970s weren’t quite ready for a Jerry<br />
Springer-style show, and he sees the audience share<br />
plummet even more. In a last ditch effort to stay employed,<br />
Jack and his win-at-all-cost producer Leo Fiske<br />
(Josh Quong Tart) plan a Halloween show for the ages.<br />
With the movie switching to a found footage format,<br />
it covers the most “infamous episode” in television history.<br />
The show starts out normally with Jack making<br />
political jokes and poking fun at his right-hand-man<br />
and band leader, the sweet Gus McConnell (Rhys Auteri).<br />
And then it starts to get weird when he invites<br />
renowned medium Christou (Fayssal Bazzi) and the<br />
snarky magician turned skeptic Carmichael Haig (Ian<br />
Bliss) onto the stage.<br />
At first, the two opposites play well off of each other<br />
but then the atmosphere gets strange and testy when<br />
Christou says he feels “overwhelmed” by the spirits in<br />
the studio. As the medium starts to get visibly sick,<br />
Carmichael keeps explaining away what is happening<br />
in the most bored tone ever.<br />
After going to commercial, behind-the-scenes footage<br />
between host and producer has them learning that<br />
Christou has died on his way to the hospital. Taking the<br />
old adage of “the show must go on” to heart, Jack keeps<br />
his crew and the entire audience in the dark because he<br />
desperately wants them to hear from the next two<br />
guests: a parapsychologist named <strong>June</strong> Ross-Mitchell<br />
(Laura Gordon) and her 13-year-old ward Lilly (Ingrid<br />
Torelli).<br />
Promoting her new book, “Conversations with the<br />
Devil,” <strong>June</strong> explains how Lilly was the sole survivor of<br />

been nicknamed Mr. Wiggles.<br />
“Sometimes he wiggles his way<br />
into my head,” says an equally sinister<br />
and sweet-faced Lilly, “and<br />
then he wiggles his way out.”<br />
Knowing that he has a rating<br />
bonanza on his hands, Jack slyly<br />
works with the skeptic Carmichael<br />
to goad <strong>June</strong> into calling forth Mr.<br />
Wiggles. After all, how dangerous<br />
could a demon named Mr. Wiggles be? It turns out he is<br />
plenty dangerous — and plenty deadly, too.<br />
I have to say that I really wasn’t sure what I would<br />
get with “Late Night with the Devil.” For the most part,<br />
I had heard great things about this satirical horror prior<br />
to renting it on demand but the story therein also takes<br />
a bit to find a good groove. When the movie eventually<br />
does find that groove, it hits all the right notes as it<br />
gradually builds the suspense and the impending sense<br />
of doom.<br />
With its deft mixture of weirdness, horror, and<br />
humor, “Late Night with the Devil” would be a compelling<br />
watch on its own, but what makes this film so<br />
enthralling is the presence of David Dastmalchian, most<br />
known as one of the “Where have I seen him before?”<br />
character actors. Throughout the majority of his 25-year<br />
career in the entertainment industry, he has been a bit<br />
player, often portraying villainous or slightly creepy<br />
characters. In “Late Night with the Devil,” he charms<br />
just as well as he smarms, and you find yourself both<br />
loving and hating the morally gray character who unleashes<br />
hell because all he wanted to do was be seen as<br />
a winner for once in his life.<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 />
Further information may be obtained by contacting the Public Utilities Commission<br />
of Ohio, 180 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793, by<br />

Legislative Update: Innovative<br />
Policies for Families and<br />
Comprehensive Healthcare<br />
Dear Constituents,<br />
I am thrilled to share updates on two important pieces<br />
of legislation that I have been working on to benefit<br />
families and communities across Ohio.<br />
First, the rising cost of child care has become unsustainable<br />
for many Ohio families. To address this, Representative<br />
Mark Johnson and I are proud to introduce the<br />
“Child Care Credit Act.” This innovative legislation, embodied<br />
in Senate Bill 273 and House Bill 610, introduces<br />
a tri-sharemodel where families & employers can elect<br />
to open in, and the State of Ohio each covers one-third<br />
of the total childcare costs. We aim to make child care<br />
more affordable and strengthen Ohio’s workforce.<br />
I am pleased to announce that our initiative has received<br />
endorsements from key organizations, including<br />
Goodwill Columbus, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce,<br />
the Ohio Business Roundtable, and Groundwork Ohio.<br />
Their representatives joined us at this week’s press conference,<br />
demonstrating strong support for this vital effort.<br />
Together, we are committed to easing the financial<br />
burden on families and ensuring that every child has<br />
access to quality care.<br />
In addition to addressing child care, I am pleased to inform<br />
you about Senate Bill 95, the Telepharmacy Bill.<br />
This bill aims to improve pharmaceutical access across<br />
Ohio by enabling remote dispensing pharmacies and<br />
telepharmacy systems, particularly benefiting our rural<br />
and underserved communities.<br />
Key provisions of SB 95 include:<br />
● Allowing pharmacists to mail prescriptions to<br />
patients, addressing barriers for those who face long<br />
commutes to obtain medications.<br />
● Providing a process to grant waivers for pharmacies<br />
within a 10-mile radius, ensuring fair consideration<br />
and transparency.<br />
● Permitting the Board of Pharmacy to add new long<br />
acting injectables that pharmacists can administer.<br />
● Enabling the State Board of Pharmacy to register<br />
technicians as young as seventeen creating more<br />
opportunities in this vital field.<br />
SB 95 ensures patient safety through comprehensive<br />
controls and regulations, including daily prescription<br />
dispensing limits, stringent reporting requirements,<br />
and mandatory staffing levels at remote dispensing<br />
pharmacies. By joining 28 other states in embracing<br />
telepharmacy, Ohio can extend pharmaceutical access<br />
to all 88 counties, fostering healthier communities, reducing<br />
healthcare costs, and easing the burden of<br />
lengthy commutes for essential medications.<br />
Results matter so let's make a difference together. Stay<br />

Adoptable Pets<br />
These are among the pets up for adoption<br />
at the Humane Society of <strong>Madison</strong> County.<br />
Petey<br />
Petey is a wire hair<br />
terrier mix with a<br />
heart of gold. His previous<br />
owner adored<br />
him, but life’s twists<br />
meant they couldn’t<br />
care for him any more.<br />
Petey is a pro on<br />
the leash and loves exploring<br />
the great outdoors.<br />
After a day of adventure, he’s all<br />
about cozy naps. Squeaky toys are his favorites.<br />
He keeps his kennel neat and was a<br />
champ at house training.<br />
He has lived with another dog before, his<br />
brother Crackles, who also is available for<br />
adoption. He is set for a home with another<br />
dog, given proper introductions and a meetand-greet.<br />
He hasn’t met any cats yet.<br />
To meet Petey, fill out an application and<br />
schedule a visit. Visits must be planned<br />
ahead due to his training schedule.<br />
Adoption fees for dogs vary: shelter dogs<br />
are $180, prison dogs are $250, puppies are<br />
$300, and popular pure-breeds are $400.<br />
The price includes: a Home Again microchip,<br />
set of shots, deworming, heartworm<br />
testing (if old enough), spay or neuter, and<br />
a one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All<br />
dogs adopted must leave with a county license<br />
at an additional cost of $17; this fee is<br />
cash only. Adoption fees can be paid by cash<br />
or credit card.<br />
Mae<br />
How cute is this<br />
girl? This is Mae. She<br />
was found out and<br />
alone and brought to<br />
the shelter so she can<br />
find her wonderful<br />
forever home. Mae<br />
has an estimated<br />
birthdate of May 15,<br />
2023. She is an absolute<br />
sweetheart and loves all the staff and<br />
volunteers at the shelter. She is a flirty girl<br />
and will usually roll around and show her<br />
belly when she gets love and pets. She also<br />
is very playful. She is a big fan of feather<br />
toys and anything with catnip in it.<br />
She has met several other kitties at the<br />
shelter and is interested in them.<br />
She should do well in a home with other<br />
kitties, as well as dogs, if given slow and<br />
proper introductions.<br />
Mae would do well as an only kitty, too,<br />
and would be a wonderful companion for a<br />
single person or as part of a family.<br />
The adoption fee is $100 for kittens up to<br />
6 months old and $80 for cats 7 months and<br />
older.<br />
It includes: a FeLV/FIV test (if old<br />
enough), spay or neuter, set of shots, deworming,<br />
and a one-year rabies shot (if old<br />
enough).<br />
Fees can be paid by cash or credit card.<br />

Best of Luck on the<br />
2022 <strong>2024</strong> Strawberry Festival<br />
London K-9 unit to serve<br />
as grand marshals<br />
By Kristy Zurbrick<br />
<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />
The London Strawberry Festival is honoring<br />
a law enforcement team as this year’s<br />
parade grand marshals.<br />
Officer Mike Combs, K-9 officer with the<br />
London Police Department, and Ygor, the<br />
department’s first canine officer, will lead<br />
the parade on <strong>June</strong> 22 at 4 p.m.<br />
Ygor, an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois, retired<br />
from the police department on <strong>June</strong> 13<br />
after seven years of service. He and Combs<br />
were partners throughout that time.<br />
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first<br />
dog to serve the city of London,” Combs<br />
said. “His obedience and his drive to work<br />
was just phenomenal. He was the type of<br />
dog you could take into the schools and let<br />
kids pet him and pull on his tail all day, but<br />
five minutes later he could apprehend a suspect.<br />
He was perfect for the K-9 program.”<br />
In 2023 alone, Ygor was called out on<br />
dozens of narcotic searches, assisted with<br />
three apprehensions of violent subjects, conducted<br />
two building searches, assisted other<br />
agencies inside and outside the city and<br />
county, and performed four demonstrations<br />
for school functions.<br />
While he is now retired, Ygor continues<br />
to live with Combs as a family pet, along<br />
with the family’s Weimaraner and the police<br />
department’s newly certified K-9,<br />
Cento, another Belgian Malinois. Combs<br />
and Cento wrapped up training and the certification<br />
process last week.<br />
Combs has been a police officer for 16<br />
years, all with the London department. He<br />
said he had always wanted to work in law<br />
enforcement.<br />
“I come from a military family. It has<br />
been my mindset my entire life,” he said.<br />
In addition to being London’s K-9 unit<br />
handler/officer, Combs has served as a certified<br />
defensive tactics instructor, a firearms<br />
instructor, and the city’s first field training<br />
Officer Mike Combs, K-9 officer with the<br />
London Police Department, and Ygor,<br />
the department’s first canine officer,<br />
have been named grand marshals of<br />
the <strong>2024</strong> London Strawberry Festival<br />
parade.<br />
officer.<br />
He and his wife, Kenna, have two children<br />
who graduated from London High<br />
School—son Dylan who is now serving in the<br />
U.S. Army and daughter Raighen who is<br />
studying nursing and playing volleyball at<br />
Clark State Community College. Kenna<br />
serves as the city auditor.<br />

On May 16, the <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains High<br />

about agriculture.<br />
Chapter members set up four stations<br />
around the <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains campus. They<br />
covered farm equipment, plants, dairy, and<br />
livestock.<br />
Each rotation was 15 minutes long and<br />
included activities, demonstrations, and<br />
questions.<br />
At the tractor station, the young students<br />
were allowed to go into the equipment<br />
and interact with it.<br />
They then moved on to the plant station<br />
where they planted sunflowers to take<br />
home.<br />
Next was the dairy station where they<br />
learned how to make butter and were even<br />
allowed to shake the jars.<br />
Finally, at the livestock station, they saw<br />
and learned about pigs and a cow/calf pair.<br />
Whenever a teacher posed a question,<br />
the young students would jump up and<br />
down while raising their hands, excited<br />
offer their guesses.<br />

Kickin’ off Summer Bash<br />
The London Lions Club first ever “Kickin off the Summer Bash”<br />
was held on <strong>June</strong> 8 at Cowling Parking.<br />
It was estimated that more than 200 people came to the family<br />
friendly event which featured classic gams such as three legged<br />
races, sack races, egg carry, and water balloon toss. The most popular<br />
events were the face painting and balloon animals, as these<br />
events had people waiting in line most of the afternoon.<br />
Blue Star Farms, a local farm to table farmer, donated hamburger<br />
patties for the crowd to enjoy. Other local businesses donated<br />
hot dogs, buns, chips and water, along with prizes for the<br />
games.<br />
An event new to London was a Duck race. People paid to sponsor<br />
rubber ducks for the race. The ducks were dropped off of the bridge<br />
on Park Avenue and floated down the creek to a fence which<br />
marked the ending spot. Even though the water level was down,<br />
and the creek was somewhat grown in, all of the ducks eventually<br />
made it to the finish line.<br />
Seven-year-old Case Allen Fowler sponsored the winning duck,<br />
and split the pot. With 50 ducks sponsored at $5 each, the youngster<br />
won $125.<br />
Lion Dee Jones, a new member of the London Lions, suggested<br />
the event as a way to give the community something to enjoy.<br />
She agreed to co-chair the event with Lion Michael Norman, and<br />
a call was put out on social media for extra community volunteers,<br />
in which a number of local residents showed up to help out.<br />
“With this being the first time holding this event, I was unsure<br />
what kind of turnout we would have”, said Jones. “To say I was extremely<br />
pleased is an understatement. It made my heart very<br />
happy to see so many smiling faces.<br />
I love this town!”<br />
The London Lions are already in discussions on how to make the<br />
event in 2025 even better.<br />
Benefits of rain barrels<br />
www.madisonmessengernews.com<br />
Rain barrels are a terrific way to save money and help the environment. Water collected in rain barrels can<br />
be used for numerous things like watering lawns and gardens, washing cars, and much more. These water<br />
collection systems, placed under downspouts to capture runoff from roofs, offer a plethora of ecological<br />
advantages. Rain barrels contribute significantly to water conservation. A single barrel can save approximately<br />
1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months. This reduction in water usage alleviates the<br />
strain on municipal water supplies and cuts down on the energy required for water treatment and distribution.<br />
Rain barrels play a crucial role in reducing stormwater runoff. In urban areas, rainwater that would otherwise<br />
flow into storm drains often carries pollutants like oil, chemicals, and trash into local waterways.<br />
Rain barrels help prevent these contaminants from reaching rivers and oceans, thus protecting aquatic<br />
ecosystems, and reducing the burden on wastewater treatment facilities. By storing rainwater for later use,<br />
rain barrels mitigate the volume and speed of water that would otherwise erode landscapes and overwhelm<br />
drainage systems during heavy rains. The use of rainwater for gardening is an eco-friendly alternative to<br />
tap water. Plants benefit from the absence of chlorine and other additives found in treated water, promoting<br />
healthier growth, and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Rain barrels are a cost-effective, eco-conscious<br />
solution for households looking to contribute to environmental sustainability. Visit madisonsoilandwater.com<br />
