Nearby: London, OHBy Ciera Bierbaugh Madison Messenger A recent gathering of law enforcement and community leaders provided an opportunity for two longtime colleagues to reconnect and reflect on more than a decade of service and friendship. West Jefferson Police Department Lieutenant Detective Conley recently attended the annual Central Ohio Crime Stoppers Breakfast, where he reunited with Chief Deputy David Wiseman of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. The two share a professional relationship dating back more than a decade, when they worked together on the night shift. At the time, Wiseman served as a sergeant with the London Police Department, while Conley was an officer with the West Jefferson Police Department. Wiseman has deep roots in Madison County law enforcement, having also served as London’s chief of police before taking on his current leadership role in Delaware County. His influence extends beyond the departments where he has served.

Nearby: London, OHBy Ciera Bierbaugh Madison Messenger As autumn leaves continue to fall, the City of London is reminding residents of two available options for disposing of yard leaves. According to Mayor Patrick Closser’s November 5 update, residents may arrange for curbside collection or bring their bagged leaves to a designated city drop-off location. For curbside pickup, residents must place leaves in biodegradable paper bags and set them along the street where their trash containers are normally collected. Unlike regular trash collection, leaf pickup must be scheduled in advance by calling the city at 740-852-3243. Residents who prefer to transport their leaves can use the former Sanitation Department site at 233 Jenkinson Avenue. Regular drop-off hours are Fridays from noon to 3:30 p.m. Additional Saturday collection hours will be offered November 21 and November 28, from 8 a.m. until noon. The leaf disposal service is available exclusively to London residents.
The Stute · Cincinnati, OH
Nearby: Cincinnati, OHHaving a shopaholic mom meant that every Christmas, the gifts under the tree came straight out of the holiday shopping catalog. These early 2000s toys were what made my Christmases and birthdays so special, as I eagerly waited to get an American Girl doll that I saw in the Christmas catalog or the 24-pack of Shopkins. As someone who has collected almost every collectible, from Pokémon cards to an enormous Shopkins collection, I feel fairly skilled to write this article. On a Christmas spent in Cincinnati, OH, my cousin introduced me to the world of Shopkins, and I was hooked. I’m pretty sure my parents spent an absurd amount of money on my entire Shopkins collection, because on every trip to Target I would beg them until they took me to the collectible toy aisle and bought me the small Shopkins basket that came with two blind-bag Shopkins. Then, for birthdays, all my friends and family, knowing about my Shopkins addiction, would give me more.
