By Kristy Zurbrick Madison Editor For Macy Burchett, the third time was the charm. The 17-year-old London resident has been showing animals at the Madison County Fair since she was 9. Three times, she has qualified for the pinnacle in live- stock showmanship, the Grand Showman of Showmen event—in 2014, 2016 and again this year. On July 12, she walked out of the ring the winner. “The first year, I was so young, I was so confused. After being there multiple times, though, you feel more confident,” said Burchett, who will be a senior at Madison- Plains High School this fall. The Grand Showman of Showmen event brings together the top Junior Fair showmen in swine, sheep, dairy, goat, beef, equine, rabbit and poultry. The contest- ants show not only the specie by which they qualified but all of the others, too. As she did in her two previous trips to the big show, Burchett qualified again this year with beef. While beef is her focus—she also participates in the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association’s Best show circuit every win- ter—she has experience with many of the other species. “I showed some poultry when I was re- ally young, I took a goat one year, this is my first year with a pig, and I’ve taken lambs the last two years,” Burchett said. To get up to speed on dairy, equine and rabbits for the Grand Showman contest, she studied friends’ project books and got help from the other Grand Showman con- testants. “Everybody was great about helping each other,” she said. The work Burchett put into preparing for the species with which she was less fa- miliar helped to reduce stress, she said, though she remained apprehensive about the horse category. “Equine was definitely the hardest for me. I just tried to stay calm through it all,” she said. Her words of advice for future Grand Showman of Showmen contestants: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help, no question is dumb, and if you are unsure about an ani- mal, work with it more than once.” Burchett is the daughter of Becky and Dave Burchett. Her sister, Amy, shows goats. Burchett grew up in the Eager Achievers 4-H Club and has been a mem- ber of the Madison-Plains FFA since she was a freshman. About her years of experience in 4-H, FFA and the Best show circuit, Burchett said, “I really like spending time with the animals and building teamwork with them...and I really like spending time with family and friends and meeting new peo- ple. Without 4-H and FFA, I would never be able to meet some of these people.” In addition to the Grand Showman of Showmen title, Burchett’s 2019 fair achievements included: beef showman of madison July 21, 2019 www.columbusmessenger.com Vol. XXXIV No. 34 See SHOWMAN page 2 See fair photos/stories, pages 5-7 ǁ ǁ ǁǁůŽŶĚ E WZ&KZDE^ - ^ĂƚƵƌĚĂ ϭϮϭϱ - ϮϭϱƉŵKůĚ ^ĐŚŽŽů h ϮϬϬ - ϯϬϬƉŵŚĂƌůŽƩĞ tĞƐƚ ϯϰϱ - ϱϭϱƉŵ/ŶŶĞƌ s ϱϯϬ - ϳϬϬƉŵDŝĐĂŚ <ĞƐƐ ϳϭϱ - ϴϰϱƉŵůƵ ϵϬϬ - ϭϬϯϬƉŵ,ĂĚĚĞŶ ^ĂLJĞƌƐ ĚŽŶƌŝďĂŶĚũĂnjnjĨĞƐƚĐŽŵ E WZ&KZDE^ - &ƌŝĚĂLJ ϭϮϭϱ - ϭϰϱƉŵDĂƩ ZĞĞƐ ϮϬϬ - ϯϬϬƉŵŽƵŶƚĞƌƉŽŝŶƚ ϯϰϱ - ϱϭϱh^ ŝƌĨŽƌĐĞ ĂŶĚ ŽĨ &ůŝŐŚƚ ϱϯϬ - ϳϬϬƉŵ<ĞŝƚŚ d-ŽŶĞ ŽůďĞƌƚ ϳϭϱ - ϴϰϱƉŵŽƵŐ ,Ăƌƚ ĂŶĚ ϵϬϬ - ϭϬϯϬƉŵEŽĂŚ tŽƚŚĞƌƐƉŽŽŶ ĂŶĚ ĂLJ hŶŝŽŶ ĂŶĚ sŝƐŝŽŶ ƐĞůƌŝŶŐ Ğ ĂƚƐ ĂŶĚ Messenger photos by Jeff Pfeil (AT RIGHT) Macy Burchett of London keeps her eye on the judge as she works her way through the Grand Showman of Showmen contest.

By Kristy ZurbrickMadison EditorLast month, the village of West Jefferson created its own build-

ing, zoning and planning department. This month, council approveda restructured building, zoning and planning fee schedule.The new schedule is easier to read and more closely matches the

fee systems set by the state and other nearby municipalities andcounties, said Tom Hale, director.The main change, he explained, is that building permit fees are

now based on square footage, rather than a combination of squarefootage, building materials, and other factors.In related action, council gave the mayor and public service di-

rector approval to enter into an agreement by which the city of Lon-don will pay West Jefferson $112,000 per year for buildinginspection services. London city council was scheduled to vote onthe agreement at their July 18 meeting. (The meeting took placeafter the Madison Messenger’s press deadline; look for updates inthe next edition.)West Jefferson already has an agreement to provide building in-

spection services for the village of Plain City and, on July 16, theMadison County commissioners signed on to have West Jeffersonperform the county’s residential building inspections at a cost of$55 per inspection to the county.In other action, council held a first reading on legislation to add

a new zoning district known as a planned unit development (PUD).PUDs allow for creative development designs and combinations ofbusiness and living environments that don’t fit into standard zoningdistricts. A public hearing will take place at council’s Aug. 5 meet-ing after which council plans to vote on the measure.Council repealed and replaced a measure it passed on June 3 in-

volving tax incentives for Hillwood, a Texas-based developer thatplans to build an 844,000 square-foot distribution warehouse in thevillage’s commerce park. Hillwood no longer wants to enter into theTIF (tax increment financing) portion of the agreement. Instead,the village will execute the TIF itself. Mayor Ray Martin administered the oath of office to new police

officers Danni Hiles and Nathan Martin. Christopher Floyd, whowill take office as West Jefferson’s new police chief on July 29, wason hand for the ceremony.

Commemorating 100 years of family gatheringsThe weather was beautiful

for the 100th Reynolds familyreunion celebrated on June 23at London Christian Fellowship on U.S.Route 42. The Reynolds family reunions originally

began as the Reynolds/Holley reunions. Theearly reunions were held in and aroundSabina, Ohio, near Wilmington. The re-unions have been held every year since theend of World War I, complete with officerelections and meticulously kept minutes.This year’s reunion saw a total of 48 peo-

ple, ages ranging from 9 months old (Abra-ham Wesley Smith) to 84 (Howard M.Reynolds). Relatives and friends traveledfrom Arcanum, Dayton, Xenia, Circleville,Derby, Columbus and Lancaster, as well asEast Hanover, N.J., and Lawrenceburg,Ind.The day started with the blessing led by

Dave Deao followed by a big potluck dinner.For the 100th celebration, we had a beauti-ful cake made by Danielle Wilson, grand-daughter of Howard Reynolds. We followed with a meeting to discuss of-

ficers, significant events and future re-unions. This year’s officers are: president,Jerry Reynolds; secretary, Karen Deao;

Members of the Reynolds family gather in London for the family’s 100th reunion.

Jerry Reynolds shared some historicalfacts from 100 years ago, including theTreaty of Versailles ending World War I, the18th Amendment beginning prohibition, the19th amendment guaranteeing women’sright to vote, and the Cincinnati Reds win-ning the World Series with maybe a littlehelp from the Black Sox scandal.We still carry on some of the traditional

events which include peanut scramble, bal-loon toss and our biggest hit and fundraiser,the brown bag auction, executed humor-ously by Zech and Nathaniel Smith. Every-one brings surprises in bags. Clues arewritten on the bag as to what’s inside. Thebags are sold to the highest bidders. We also take time for a group picture,

which takes a while with this crew. Weadded a couple of new scrapbooks to our re-

arranging and allowing us to hold thismemorable event at their church.

Practice sun safety to protect skinthe following tips for protect-ing yourself when participat-ing in outdoor activities:• Plan events outside of peak sunlight or

midday hours. • Wear protective apparel, including

tightly woven clothing, sunglasses, and hatsthat provide shade to the entire head. • Seek shaded areas if possible. • Sunscreen should be applied on all ex-

posed skin and reapplied every two hoursbecause it can wear off after swimming,sweating, or drying off skin. Not all sun-screens are the same, but they all simply ab-sorb, reflect or scatter UV sunlight before itreaches the skin.Sunscreens that are sold in the United

States are regulated by the Food and DrugAdministration (FDA). The FDA’s stan-dards are used to determine a product’s sunprotection factor (SPF). When combinedwith other sun protection techniques, broadspectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 15 orhigher can be labeled as reducing risk ofskin cancer and premature skin aging. Some individuals are at higher risk due

to fair skin, family history, hair color, eyecolor, or high number of moles. Regardlessof risk, most skin cancers are preventable

for anyone. Individuals shouldavoid sunbathing and indoortanning beds that cause exces-

sive and unnecessary UV exposure.Not all skin cancers are the same, but

recognizing symptoms can equip individualsto identify concerns to discuss with a doctor.The most common sign of skin cancer is achange in your skin—growth, sores thatwon’t heal, or changes in moles. Individualsare encouraged to remember the ABCDE’sof melanoma and look for the following inmoles or freckles: A-Asymmetrical shape; B-irregular Borders; C-uneven Color; D-largeDiameter; E-Evolving growthA few serious sunburns can increase your

risk of getting skin cancer. By planningahead and protecting your skin with cloth-ing, sunscreen and limited UV exposure,you are more likely to prevent the most com-mon type of cancer in the United States.If you have questions about sun safety,
