Ken Jewell and his wife, Teresa, purchased the DJ's Feed Store and mill in 2001, after working at DJ's since 1984, and renamed it ASE in honor of their three daughters-Amy, Stacy, and Emily. DJ's Feed Store was run by Dwight and Jane Beougher prior to that; and, the Youman family owned the mill and elevator, a family business since the early 1900's.

They have been serving the Plain City community for eleven years! Ken and everyone at ASE are to be thanked for supporting Black and Orange Cat Foundation for the past five years (or more). Carol Gaul helped Ken get the feral cats that were living around the mill and shop fixed and vaccinated. These cats kept the mice under control around the mill, but also tended to cross the street to the Gaul's shop and often met unhappy fates on the road. After being fixed, they didn't wander so much and Carol stopped worrying about them. Ken was also very glad to have the cats around.

Ken kindly donates food to Black and Orange every month, which is then distributed to people in need. Additionally, Ken donated a dog house last year for Peggy Meadows, who runs a small dog rescue (Happy Tails of Central Ohio), here in Plain City.
