This marks the first pay increase for council memberssince 2003 and the first pay increase for the mayor’s po-sition and planning and zoning positions since 2007.

“It’s time to raise the rates,” said Jen Warner, coun-cil vice president. “We’re busier, the mayor’s busier, andplanning and zoning is busier, too.”

The mayor’s annual salary is increasing from$14,000 to $18,500. The mayor also will receive $1,500a year for filling the dual role of public safety director.Currently, the mayor is not paid for this work.

Council members will receive $175 per meeting, a

$50 increase. The council president and vice presidentwill earn $225 and $200, respectively, a $25 increaseper meeting for each.

The per-meeting rate for planning and zoning com-mission officers is going up $25. The new rates are $125for the chairman and $75 each for the vice chairmanand secretary. Regular commission members will earn$65 per meeting, a $15 increase.

Ohio law does not permit standing elected officialsto vote on pay increases for themselves. All increasesmust go into effect after the next election.

West Jefferson’s mayor’s seat and at-large councilseats are up for election this November. Raises for thosepositions, as well as the planning and zoning commis-sion (which are not elected positions), will go into effectJan. 1, 2020. West Jefferson’s ward council seats are upfor election in 2020. Raises for those positions will gointo effect Jan. 1, 2021.

Solar energy companies interested in leasing farm-land for large-scale solar development have contactedmany landowners in Madison County.

Solar installation costs have dropped by 66 percentsince 2010, and federal tax credits for solar projects willdecrease for projects starting in 2022. These factorshave motivated recent interest in solar installation.

Meanwhile, one of the factors that determines the rev-enue a renewable energy project generates is the amountof electricity the project produces, so Madison County’slarge tracts of farmland are appealing to developers.

Energy companies are offering rental rates of up to$1,000 per acre to use farmland for solar energy produc-tion. Over the course of a solar project, the landownermay be asked to sign multiple types of agreements.They likely will be approached with a letter of intent,

then proceed to an option, and ultimately enter into alease. Most leases commit farmland to solar energy for30 years. It is important for landowners to understandthe terms of each agreement they are signing.

The Ohio State University Extension is hosting ameeting about solar leases from 9 a.m. to noon July15th at the Red Brick Tavern, 1700 Cumberland Rd.,London. Peggy Kirk Hall and Eric Romich will talkabout solar development trends, the process of convert-ing farmland to solar production, and key considera-tions to weigh before signing lease agreements for solarenergy production.

The meeting is free and includes breakfast. Regis-tration is required. To register, contact Mary Griffith at(740) 852-0975 or [email protected]. For more onsolar development, go to energizeohio.osu.edu.

For years, Evan Taylor has had a diffi-cult time expressing his thoughts.

As someone who does not use words tocommunicate, Evan would sometimes hurthimself or others when attempting to ex-press what he wanted or needed. LeighSpohler, Evan’s service coordinator at theMadison County Board of DevelopmentalDisabilities, remembers how frustrating itcould be for both Evan and for his careproviders.

“We always knew that Evan understoodwhat we were saying to him, but it was aguessing game to figure out what he wantedor needed in return,” Spohler said. “A lot oftimes, we guessed wrong.”

Evan’s family and supporters tried a va-riety of communication devices over theyears but none appeared to be to his liking.

That has changed.“We have tried different devices since

seeing Speech Therapy in Early Interven-tion and throughout his school years,” saidSusie Taylor, Evan’s mother. “He finallyhas a say in things.”

Much of that is thanks to the iTalk2 withLevels by Ablenet. The device featuresthree levels, with two answer options perlevel, and that might just be what spurredthe interest from Evan.

“This is the first one that has given him

Evan finds his voice, thanks to technology

options of what to say,” Susie said. “He willnow give spontaneous answers, but he stillwon’t use it for questions.”

Among the levels are the “I like/don’tlike” option, “that’s the one that I want/I

want something different” option, and “Iwant to be with friends/alone.”

Evan has had the device since mid-2018,and it has been a continual learning processfor him and those around him. Family orsupport providers select levels based on theactivity Evan is engaging in, and Evan haslearned to keep pressing the same button ifthe level he is on does not provide the an-swer he wants to give.

Evan attends Person Centered Services(PCS) in Marysville, a day programming fa-cility for individuals with disabilities thatserves as a career and life enrichment cen-ter. Brittaney Smith, assistant director ofthe Marysville location, is greatly encour-aged by the doors now open to Evan, thanksto the new communication device.

“We are discovering more about what hewants,” Smith said. “And more about whathe likes to do.”

This part of Evan’s journey began withhis annual comprehensive trip to the Cere-bral Palsy Clinic at Nationwide Children’s

Hospital last year. They suggested the fam-ily check out a device that has been success-ful with individuals with the same abilitiesas Evan. From there, the family was re-ferred to the Ohio State University Speechand Hearing Clinic, and, after some trialand error, therapists recommended theiTalk2. The device was purchased withfunds available through Evan’s IndividualOptions Waiver.

According to his mother, over the years avariety of items were tried.

“When he was younger, and we wereyounger, we would try anything and every-thing.” Susie said. “As he got older, wewould pick and choose what to do.”

Early reports are that it has been worththe wait. the first time Evan independentlyactivated the device was on the day it wasinstalled. He has continued to use the deviceto express his preferences on a daily basisand isn’t hurting himself or others like heused to.

“Evan has found his voice,” Susie said.Evan Taylor has found his voice with hisnew communication device, the iTalk2 withLevels by Ablenet.

Just as they teach math or science to students, the staff at South-eastern Local Schools is taking a more proactive approach to teach-ing good behavior to students.

The state is requiring all school districts to implement behaviorprograms for younger students starting next school year. Southeast-ern is taking a broader approach, covering all grades levels fromkindergarten through 12th grade.

Staff members have received training in Positive Behavioral In-terventions & Supports (PBIS), a program endorsed by the Ohio De-partment of Education.

The program emphasizes more active supervision by school staffand provides students with social tools, such as problem-solvingskills, to help them prevent negative behavior. Students who exhibitpositive behavior receive recognition.

“Hopefully, it will improve student performance and student be-haviors,” said Tim Bell, Southeastern’s director of student services.“It’s been proven to decrease bullying and aggressive behavior.”

The goals are not only fewer demerits, detentions and office re-ferrals but also better rapport among students and staff.

“We’ll be finding ways to create positive relationships with thekids, knowing something more about them—having a conversationwith them that’s about something other than Algebra II,” said P.J.Bertemes, junior high and high school principal.

School leaders will collect data on trends, triggers, and solutionsand analyze the information just as they would academic data, said

South CharlestonSouth Charleston

School district aims to teach positive behaviorsSuperintendent David Shea.

In addition to PBIS, Bertemes has scheduled a guestspeaker for the first day of school this fall at the juniorhigh and high school. The focus of the talk will be rela-tionships, bullying and kindness.

He also is expanding the building’s advisory programto meet more often and to include a special junior highcomponent. A select group of seventh- and eighth-graders will learn leadership skills and develop the con-fidence and know-how to step up or speak up when theywitness bullying or harassment.

“Sometimes, you don’t know what all is going on. Youneed the right kids in place. They’re your first line ofhelp,” Bertemes said.

Quarterback ClubCraig Isaac, Southeastern’s athletic director, re-

ported at the school board’s June meeting that newleadership is in place for the Quarterback Club. Officersare: Zeke Smith, president; Adam Robinson, vice presi-dent; Terry Davlin, treasurer; and Ty Hughes, secre-tary.

The group also has updated its bylaws. They meetmonthly now instead of quarterly, leadership positionshave term lengths instead of being open-ended, and thegroup must submit a finance report to Isaac eachmonth. They also will be sending a representative to theSoutheastern Athletic Boosters meetings.

“These guys really want to help...they’re easy to workwith,” Isaac said.

The school board approved the new organizationalstructure for the group.

School financesAlso at the June board meeting, district Treasurer

Ben Kitchen reported that the district is finishing thefiscal year roughly $500,000 in the red. He points to in-creased salary and benefits costs, flat state funding, andno increase in local levy funding since the early 2000s.

“We probably will project deficit spending again nextyear because I don’t expect any significant changes atthe state level,” he said.

Deficit spending occurs when the district takes inless money than it spends in a year, requiring the useof carryover funds to make up the difference. Southeast-ern’s carryover stands at about $6.5 million.

Permanent Improvement LevyThe district is placing a renewal levy on the Nov. 5

general election ballot. The 3-mill, five-year levy requestis for permanent improvements, which covers expensessuch as building maintenance and improvements. Apermanent improvement is defined as anything thathas a useful life of at least five years, Kitchen explained

In 2018, the levy generated $273,269.Kitchen emphasized that the district is not asking

for an increase in funds.

The Southeastern FFA chapter in South Charlestonhas been awarded $2,300 as part of the Grants forGrowing program. The nationwide program, sponsoredby Tractor Supply Co., provides grant funds to FFAchapters to support the development or improvement ofagricultural education projects that enhance the class-room experiences for students through chapter engage-ment activities.

Southeastern FFA plans to use the funds to buy ma-terials and equipment to start a curriculum in precisionagriculture. The curriculum includes an unmanned aer-ial vehicle and software to capture images, as well asGeographic Information Systems data on fields sur-veyed for crop growth, crop progress and pest manage-ment. This and other data can be uploaded into aweb-based crop production program that provides infor-mation to assists producers in making management de-cisions. The equipment and materials will complementan agronomic systems course that provides studentswith an opportunity to obtain college credit in precisionagriculture at Clark State Community College.

The Grants for Growing program provided approxi-mately $907,000 to FFA chapters in 49 states. TractorSupply Co. customers provide the funding by purchas-ing $1 FFA paper emblems at checkout. The fundraisingperiod aligns with National FFA Week in February.

The National FFA Organization provides leadership,personal growth and career success training throughagricultural education to 669,989 student members whobelong to 8,630 FFA chapters in the United States,Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The organiza-tion is supported by 2,236 alumni chapters.

Bank thankedThe Southeastern Local school board nominatedSecurity National Bank of South Charleston for in-clusion in the Ohio School Boards Association’s2019 Business Honor Roll for the bank’s contribu-tions to the school district and exemplary serviceto the community. Leonard Kadel, manager of thebank’s South Charleston office, accepted the awardat a recent school board meeting.

Site work under way for new veterans memorialBy Kristy ZurbrickMadison Editor

After a few weeks of delay due to rain, site preparation startedin late June for South Charleston’s new veterans memorial.

The site is located at the end of Woodward Street (State Route41), next to the bike path on the village’s south side. The memorialwill cover a 20x20-foot area.

With the groundwork done, crews poured red-tinted concrete inthe shape of a star last week and outlined the surrounding pentagonshape. The monument, which could be delivered as early as nextweek, will sit in the center of the star. Personalized brick paverswill line the five sides of the pentagon.

“It’s moving along pretty well,” said Leonard Kadel, a memberof the committee heading up the project. Members hail from theSouth Charleston Community Club and Southeastern High School’sstudent council.

Next up on the to-do list is laying the bricks, pouring footers forthe flag poles, running electricity to the flag poles to light the flags,and setting the monument.

The timeline for completion of the project depends on theweather. Details about a dedication ceremony will be shared at alater date.

Kadel said the committee is close to reaching its fundraisinggoal. To make a donation, send checks to CC Veterans MemorialFund, P.O. Box 159, South Charleston OH 45368.
