Tobin named Icon of Law Enforcement
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
On May 9, Light Ohio Blue surprised
Choctaw Lake resident and U.S. Marshal
Peter C. Tobin with the organization’s
first Lifetime Achievement Award: Icon of
Law Enforcement. The award is named
after Tobin and will be presented annually
to an Ohio officer who has dedicated his or
her life to law enforcement and made a
positive impact on their colleagues and
community.
Light Ohio Blue is a statewide campaign
to show visible support for law enforcement
personnel and to honor those
who have died in the line of duty, as well
as their surviving
family
members and
their co-workers.
The campaign’s
efforts
coincide with
Peace Officers
Memorial Day and Police Week, first proclaimed
in 1962 by Pres. John F. Kennedy
and observed every May since.
Each year, Light Ohio Blue kicks off its
activities with a caravan of law enforcement
officers and vehicles. Traditionally,
the caravan starts in Columbus. This year,
it started in London at the Ohio Peace Officers
Memorial on the Ohio Peace Officers
Training Academy grounds. It then made
its way to the Franklin County Training
Academy, Motts Military Museum in
Groveport, and the National Veterans Memorial
& Museum in Columbus.
Light Ohio Blue’s new Lifetime Achievement Award: Icon of Law Enforcement is named
for its first recipient, Peter C. Tobin of Choctaw Lake. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost
presented the award to Tobin on May 9 at the Ohio Peace Officers Memorial in London.
Tobin’s family was on hand for the presentation: (front row, from left) granddaughters
Eliah and Elisha Tobin; (back, from left) daughter-in-law, Kate Tobin; son, Paul C. Tobin,
a Columbus police officer; and Tobin and his wife, Suzy.
Tobin took part in the caravan. Light
Ohio Blue founder Bill Swank arranged to
have Tobin’s family on hand. Ohio Attorney
General Dave Yost presented the
award.
“Marshal Tobin has been an institution
in central Ohio law enforcement for
decades,” Swank said at the surprise presentation.
“He has never shied away from
making difficult decisions or from leading
from the front. And he has always kept the

in West Jeff
At approximately 5:25 p.m. on May 24,
the West Jefferson Police Department received
a 911 call. The caller reported seeing
a male with a possible gunshot wound lying
at the rear of 127 Jackson St.
West Jefferson Police responded to the
scene and found a male lying just outside
the entry door. He was pronounced dead at
the scene.
In checking the house for suspects or additional
victims, officers found two males
and one female inside. All three were pronounced
dead at the scene.
The victims have been identified as:
• Andrew Thomas Swindall, 45, who
resided at 127 Jackson St.;
• Shawn A. Wright, 45, of London;
• Jamie Danielle Lavendar, 30, of
Springfield; and
• Leon Billy Daniels, 38, of London.
As of May 25, there was no suspect information,
according to Police Chief Chris
Floyd.
The Madison County Sheriff’s Office and
the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation
are assisting West Jefferson Police with the
investigation.
Anyone with any information is asked to
call the West Jefferson Police Department
Detective Bureau at (614) 879-7672 or the
department’s anonymous tip line at (614)
379-5175.
Health department stops drive-through vaccine clinics
After more than four months of drivethrough
vaccine clinics in the snow, rain,
wind and heat, Madison County Public
Health (MCPH) suspended vaccination operations
at The Ohio State University’s
Molly Caren Agricultural Center following
its clinic on May 27.
“We are no longer seeing the volume of
people wanting vaccine to justify the cost
and resources necessary to run the clinic,”
said Health Commissioner Chris Cook. “We
know that we can administer 250 to 300
doses in our office Wednesday through Friday.
Our last two weeks at Molly Caren have
been around 200, and that was my threshold
for demand to pull back to our office.”
The Molly Caren site will remain an option
into the future for all types of vaccines,
as long as the site is available to the health
department, Cook said, adding that The
Ohio State University has been “an incredibly
gracious host.”
Since January, MCPH staff and volunteers
have administered nearly 20,000
COVID-19 vaccines at 34 drive-through
clinics at Molly Caren. The staff and hundreds
of volunteers worked tirelessly to
make this happen, Cook said.
“What we accomplished over the last four
months has been unprecedented, to say the
least. I am beyond proud of and thankful for
my staff, our selfless volunteers, the Molly
Caren staff, and the response from our residents,”
he said.
MCPH has been by far the largest vaccinator
in the county since vaccine became
available around the first of the year. Several
local pharmacies have been administering
vaccine in limited quantities, but no
other healthcare facilities in the county
have provided vaccine to the public.
Cook said his decision to provide a drivethrough,
no-appointment clinic was the
right one to make.
“Putting large numbers of people indoors
to administer vaccine was very risky. We
knew many people would be hesitant to go
indoors for traditional vaccine clinics,” he
explained.
Cook said many people would not have
been able to get vaccinated any other way.
“We have people with physical limitations,
children with special needs, and parents
with a carload of young kids. We
served people well,” he said.
MCPH received more than 1,700 customer
satisfaction survey results over the
last few months. Cook reported that patients
rated the health department 4.8 or
higher out of five on every satisfaction
measure.
At the height of demand for vaccine,
MCPH vaccinated 350 people per hour
through the drive-through, including a
record 1,100 people during a three-hour Saturday
clinic. Even at the busiest, clinic wait
times averaged one hour. Word spread to
surrounding areas that Madison County’s
clinic was extremely efficient. More than
half of the people vaccinated at three clinics

New district could bring more liquor licenses

bars, and other eligible businesses in the city.
On May 20, council held the first reading
for legislation that proposes to designate a
portion of the city as a revitalization district.
State law permits one liquor license
for every five acres in such a district.
The events leading up to the proposed
legislation began with a request from Paul
Gross, owner of Independence Way LLC.
Gross is building an upscale restaurant and
bar, as well as condominiums and apartments,
along State Route 56 adjacent to the
Bluebird Retirement Community.
Because liquor licenses are hard to come
by in London and Gross wants to serve alcohol
at the restaurant and bar, city officials
looked into possible solutions. Initially, they
considered the creation of a community entertainment
district that would include
Gross’s property, but they found it wasn’t a
good fit, said council President Henry Comer.
So, city representatives, in partnership
with the Madison County Chamber of Commerce,
turned to Rep. Steve Stivers’s office,
the Ohio Department of Commerce, and the
Ohio Department of Liquor Control. From
this collaboration came the suggestion to
designate a revitalization district. Such districts
are designed to improve entertainment,
retail, educational, sporting, social,
cultural, and arts opportunities in the community.
They allow for one liquor permit for
every five acres.
Gross submitted an application requesting
creation of a revitalization district that
encompassed his property. Members of the
committee working on the districting idea
were thinking bigger.
“My team wanted to see more of the city encompassed in the district,”
said Mayor Patrick Closser.
After several meetings and a lot of research, the committee came
up with a broader outline for the district that includes many of the
business areas in the city.
“That was awesome when we were able to find out that you could
actually include the whole area,” Comer said, describing the proposed
district as including the area from State Route 56 in front of
Madison Lanes and Gross’s property, to Center Street, out State
Route 38 past the Madison County Fairgrounds to St. Patrick
School, and down Lafayette Street to Family Dollar.
Gross resubmitted his request with the new district boundaries.
Council will hold additional readings of the proposed legislation to
designate the revitalization district at upcoming council meetings.
A public hearing on Gross’s application is set for July 1.
“We all think this is going to be a great catalyst for businesses
in London,” Closser said. “We’re excited for what this district is
going to be able to do and help with our planned growth.”
Comer thanked the city, county and state leaders who helped
with brainstorming and research to bring the proposal forward.
“Everyone’s on the same page to make sure the city is moving
forward,” he said. “This definitely opens things up compared to
what we currently have.”

best interests of the citizens and his officers at the forefront.
“His name, when spoken by officers, no matter how many years
they have put into the law enforcement vocation, brings out reverence.”
Tobin started his law enforcement career in 1971 with the
Columbus Division of Police. He rose through the ranks to lieutenant,
retiring in 1994. He was an original member of the division’s
SWAT team and later served as its commander.
Following retirement, he served as Powell’s police chief for a
short time before accepting a position as deputy director of the narcotics
division at the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).
He remained in that position until 2004.
In 2006, Tobin became London’s police chief. Three years later,
he was named as BCI’s superintendent. In 2013, U.S. President
Barack Obama appointed Tobin as U.S. marshal for the Southern
District of Ohio. President Donald Trump reconfirmed Tobin in
2017. Tobin continues to serve as a U.S. marshal.
Light Ohio Blue was founded in 2016 as Light Columbus Blue
following the death of Steve Smith, a member of the Columbus Division
of Police’s SWAT team. Later, as the organization expanded
its involvement, the name changed to Light Central Ohio Blue.
Three years ago, the initiative went statewide with the support of
the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, Buckeye State Sheriffs Association,
Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the state lodge of the
Fraternal Order of Police.
Light Ohio Blue urges everyone to literally light Ohio blue for
one week each May. Citizens place blue lightbulbs on their home’s
exteriors, businesses light up their storefronts and rooftops, and
churches shine blue from their steeples. The show of support takes
many forms, even as simple as a blue ribbon on a mailbox.
“No matter how big or small, it’s to bring awareness,” Swank
said. “It’s always the right time to show support and even more so
last year with the pandemic. It gives (officers) a boost of positivity,
letting them know that they are appreciated and what they do does
not go unnoticed.”
Each year, Light Ohio Blue presents a handful of awards. This
year, Jessica Davis of Bridge The Gap was named Citizen of the
Year. Det. Adam Beach of the Licking County Sheriff’s Office was
named Officer of the Year. The Blue Crier of the Year, presented to
a public information officer, went to Lt. Tiffiany Meeks of the Ohio
State Highway Patrol. The lifetime achievement award is new to
the recognitions. Additionally, Light Ohio Blue named Ralph
Portier, who recently retired as Groveport’s police chief, as grand
marshal of this year’s Light Ohio Blue caravan.

A chance to see where their food comes from
Couple gives tours of
their working farm
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
As an organizer for Homeschoolers of
Madison County & Beyond, Kara Holland is
always on the lookout for interesting and
educational places to take her children and
other students who are learning outside of
the traditional classroom setting.
While fond of excursions to the established
haunts like the Columbus Zoo &
Aquarium and the Center of Science and Industry
(COSI), she ultimately prefers going
to outside-the-box locations as they tend to
bring forth a different level of engagement.
“I find that when we go to destinations
that are not as popular, it allows (the students)
to experience an entirely new perspective,”
she explained.
For instance, when the group goes to
smaller locales, students get to know those
who live within that community.
“That is immeasurable,” Holland said.
“Not only are they meeting all of these new
people, but they are also being exposed to all
of these different trades, professions, and
opportunities along the way.”
The group tries to make these immersive
trips monthly but has had a difficult time
finding places to visit due to COVID-19 closures
or restrictions.
“We haven’t really been anywhere this
past year,” said Erin Dripps, a West Jefferson
resident.
Resigned to cancelled or delayed trips for
the foreseeable future, the luck of the group
changed recently via an opportunity that
fell into Holland’s lap, or head, as it were.
Chris and Katy Kennedy give a feeding time demonstration.
Several weeks ago, Holland, a Grove City
resident, traveled to London to shop for gifts
and furnishings at Mimi’s Vintage Pickin’s.
While there, she was introduced to local
farmer Chris Kennedy.
During their conversation, Kennedy
mentioned that he and his wife, Katy, raise
cattle at Blue Star Farms in London.
“I thought his farm might be a great
place to take our group,” Holland said.
When Holland ran the idea by the
Kennedys, they didn’t need to spend much
time coming up with an answer.
“We said, ‘Sure. Why not?’” Katy said.
Since Blue Star Farms became a fully operational
working farm in 2017, the
Kennedys have been giving tours so customers
can see how the cattle are raised, but
they had not thought of hosting field trips
for students.
“We’ve had children, kids and grandkids
of our customers walk the property before
but having official tours never crossed our
minds,” Chris said.
The couple quickly became enamored
with the notion but wanted to lay some
ground rules.
“My intention for these field trips was to
give a behind-the-scenes look at a real working
farm so (students) can see all the equipment
and all the duties that go into raising
cattle and come away with an understanding
of where their food comes from,” he said.
“It was not my intention to have these trips
become a petting zoo.”
The first official field trip at Blue Star
Farms took place on May 16. Fifteen homeschooled
students spent close to two hours
learning about the day-to-day-operations of
the cattle farm. The tour began with an introduction
to farm machinery, including a
haybine and a tedder used to manage the
pasture. Then it got sidetracked when Katy

Chris and Katy Kennedy, owners of Blue Star Farms in London, recently started hosting
field trips for students to provide them with a “better understanding of how a working
farm operates and to give them a better appreciation for where their food comes from.”
Their first group of students, all of whom are homeschooled, visited the farm on May
16. Shown here, Korey Dripps (front) and other children offer food to some of the herd.
mentioned the barn cat that had recently
given birth and was holed up below a bin.
From there, the students got to see what
they came for—the cows. Or, in this case, the
bull and the calves as the cows were grazing
in another pasture.
“This is the coolest,” exclaimed Maddie
Butcher, 13, of West Jefferson. “They are so
cute!”
Despite the Kennedys’ intention to steer
clear of a petting zoo atmosphere, many
hands went through the enclosure to try to
touch half of the herd. Chris said he allowed
it because the animals were behaving and
because the students were having so much
fun.
“For some of them, it will have been their
first time seeing a bull or a calf up close,” he
said.
After time spent with the curious cattle,
Chris took the tour out to one of their eight
pastures to explain how the herd is rotated
through said pastures and what kind of foraging
plants they like to eat.
“They love dandelions,” he said. “It’s like
candy to them.”
Chris and Katy had planned to show the
students how the cattle are fed in the barn,
but, well, you know what they say about the
best laid plans, especially on a field trip.
After they placed hay in the feeding enclosure,
Chris picked up the feeder trough
and hollered at the cattle to “come and get
it.”
The cattle stared blankly at Chris, unwilling
to go do what he wanted.
“They usually come when I call,” he said
while the kids laughed.
Eventually, Katy took mercy on her husband
and allowed the group to hand feed the
bull and calves.
“It turned into a petting zoo a little bit
there, didn’t it?” Chris later lamented with
a laugh.
He said regardless of the number of head
pats to the herd, he thought their first official
field trip was a success.
“I think they learned some of what goes
into operating a working farm, and I am
glad to have provided that experience for
them,” he said.
Chris remembers driving past farms
when he was younger, seeing animals in a
pasture, and wondering what was going on
behind the scenes.
“Unless you grow up on a farm, or unless
you start a farm upon your retirement like
I did, you’re not really going to get to have
that experience,” he said. “And that is what
I ultimately want by providing these tours
and these field trips.
“I want people who are curious about the
operations of a working farm or want to see
how their food is raised and where it comes
from. We welcome that and are happy to
provide that education to them and, I hope,
a bit of fun in the process.”
The Kennedys welcome children and
adults to tour their farm and say they are
looking forward to the future where more official
field trips will take place. They do not
plan to charge individuals or groups who
wish to come out to Blue Star Farms.

Pioneers JH lacrosse team finishes second at state
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Coach Ed Kennedy credits a one-word mantra for the historymaking
season enjoyed by this year’s Jonathan Alder Junior High
lacrosse team.
“ ‘Family’ is what we say every time we break huddle. They
played for each other. They really did,” said Kennedy, who has
coached with Garred Clemons and Joey Snyder for the Alder
lacrosse program for three of its eight years.
That mantra—and practices six days a week since Feb. 22—carried
the seventh- and eighth-grade team from a 0-4 start in the regular
season to post-season feats no other Alder lacrosse team at any
grade level has achieved: an appearance and a victory in the state
semi-finals and a shot at the state title.
The Pioneers were among 64 teams invited to compete at the
state tournament hosted by the Ohio Middle School Lacrosse Association
May 8-9. Four 16-team divisions played in cold, raindrenched
conditions at Dublin Scioto High School.
In Division IV action, Alder knocked off Fairfield, a Cincinnatiarea
squad, 7-2 to start the tournament. They followed with a 15-1
rout of Mentor, a Cleveland-area team, to advance to the semi-finals

West Jefferson crash survivor ‘Saved by the Belt’
Jessica Trimble of West Jefferson joined Ohio’s “Saved by the
Belt” Club on after her safety belt saved her from sustaining lifethreatening
injuries. The crash occurred on State Route 161 in
Madison County on Feb. 24.
On May 24, Lt. Robert A. Curry, West Jefferson Post commander
for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, presented Trimble with a “Saved
by the Belt” certificate signed by Ohio Department of Public Safety
Director Thomas J. Stickrath and Col. Richard S. Fambro, Patrol
superintendent.
“Jessica is a living testimony to the effectiveness of safety belts,”
Curry said. “Everyone needs to buckle up every trip, every time.”
Provisional data from 2020 shows 487 people in Ohio were killed
in traffic crashes where a safety belt was available but not in use.
The “Saved by the Belt” Club is a joint effort by the Ohio Department
of Public Safety and more than 400 Ohio law enforcement
agencies. The club is designed to recognize people who have benefited
from their decision to wear safety belts.
Trimble also received a “Saved by the Belt” license plate bracket.
Following the award presentation, the Madison County Safe
Communities Coalition brought awareness to area residents during
its annual Click It or Ticket kick-off. The event was the start of the
nationwide Click It or Ticket high-visibility seat belt enforcement
campaign that started May 24 and runs through June 6.
The Safe Communities Coalition conducted a seat belt check as
drivers entered the London Kroger parking lot on Lafayette Street.
This event was sponsored by Terry Family Ice Cream Shoppe,
which gave coupon for free soft serve ice cream cones to those
“caught” wearing their seat belt. Data collected at the event showed
that 80.2 percent of residents were wearing their seat belt.
Agencies present at the event were Madison County Public
Health, Madison County Emergency Management Agency, Madison
County Sheriff’s Office, London Police Department, West Jefferson
Police Department, Plain City Police Department, and the West Jefferson
Post of the State Highway Patrol.
West Jefferson resident Jessica Trimble (center) joined Ohio’s “Saved by the Belt” Club. She received a club

Young artist hones skills with pro in South Dakota
By Dedra Cordle
Staff Writer
Stacey Hallowes-Billiter could hardly believe her
ears.
Her student, Drew Carter, had just shared news that
he had been invited to attend an all-expenses paid trip
to South Dakota to study under the tutelage of a famous
artist at an exclusive retreat in Deadwood.
While thrilled he would be able to experience this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—“it couldn’t have happened
to a better kiddo,” she said—Hallowes-Billiter
could not help but to reflect on how much Drew’s attitude
toward art has changed in the four years she had
known him.
“It’s been a turn of events, I can tell you that,” she
said with a laugh.
Upon looking over Drew’s first assignment in her art
class at London High School, Hallowes-Billiter knew
right away the then freshman had an innate talent.
“The work that he turned in so was impressive,” she
said.
What was not so impressive, however, was how little
drive Drew had to hone those skills.
“He told me at the time it was just something fun for
him to do,” she said.
Drew, now a graduating senior, agrees with that assessment.
“I never took it seriously until this past year,” he
said, adding that it was due in part to a lack of confidence
in his skills.
Ashli Carter noticed something different about her
son’s drawings when he was younger.
“All of the people had green faces,” she said.
At first, she thought he just had a great fondness for
the color, but it eventually got to the point where she
had to ask him whether he was doing it on purpose.
“He was so confused,” she said. “He thought he was
using a peach color.”
Harboring a suspicion that her eldest child was color
blind, Ashli took him to an ophthalmologist where those
suspicions were confirmed.
While Drew says his diagnosis was not a contributing
factor in his growing disinterest in art, it also did
not help matters either.
“It was sometimes very challenging for me because I
could not distinguish between colors,” he said.
He added that he primarily kept his drawings and
sketches to himself.
Over the course of his freshman year, however, Drew
began to blossom when Hallowes-Billiter came up with
a method to help him use a color palate.
“It opened a whole new opportunity for me,” he said.
Shortly thereafter, he was moving away from his
preferred palette of blues, blacks and whites and transitioning
to vivid drawings of Spider-Man in action and
bold Lamborghinis.
“I started sharing my work and loved the reactions I
got from it,” Drew said. “It kept me going because I
wanted to impress them but eventually I started to impress
myself.”
Hallowes-Billiter said something “just clicked”
within Drew this past year.
“He’s on fire right now,” she exclaimed.
With little to do because of COVID-19 restrictions,
Drew began to express his frustrations and boredom on
paper.
“He would draw for hours,” Ashli said.
One day, he shared some of his drawings with his
friend, Zack Kaehr, and thus began the whirlwind that
would lead to the artist retreat.
After looking over Drew’s artwork, Kaehr shared the
pieces with his mother, Terri Ronna. Impressed by
Graduating London High School senior Drew Carter
(left) spent May 12-17 in South Dakota at an exclusive
artists’ retreat led by Scott Jacobs (right), a master of
photorealism. Here, Carter holds is certification of
completion, and Jacobs displays a painting Carter
completed during the retreat.
“Venom” is a piece of artwork Drew Carter created this
year in Stacey Hallowes-Billiter’s Art IV class at London
High School. Venom is a Marvel Comics character.
Carter painted the image on a ceiling tile that will hang
in the high school art room.
Drew’s skill, Ronna shared it with a friend and fellow
art enthusiast, Craig Goldman. Equally impressed,
Goldman shared those creations with Scott Jacobs, an
artist who is considered a master of photorealism.
The way the story goes, Jacobs remarked on Drew’s
talent and thought he would make a great student participant
for his upcoming artist retreat.
Shocked, Drew told his mother who thought it was a
joke.
“I didn’t mean it in a negative way,” she laughed.
She said she just found it to be a surreal chain of
events.
“It’s not every day a renowned artist shows interest
in your son’s work,” she said.
Despite some misgiving, Ashli wanted her son to have the fourday
immersive experience where he could pick the brain of Jacobs
and learn more about the medium of his interest. Then they saw
the cost of the retreat.
“There was just so way we could afford that expense,” Ashli said.
“I was just returning back to work, and the airfare, the accommodations,
the retreat was just not in the cards.”
When word got back to Goldman, the art enthusiast who is also
a collector, he decided to sponsor Drew’s trip to Jacobs’s studio.
“I couldn’t believe that this was really happening to me,” Drew
said.
On May 12, Drew headed to South Dakota where he and several
other students of various ages and skill levels painted with Jacobs,
Jacobs’s daughter, Alexa, and artist Danial James. Participants
learned advanced mixing techniques and other tricks of the trade,
including how to network and get connections in the industry. It
was immersive, eye-opening and completely “life-changing.”
Drew said he came away from the experience with a better appreciation
for the craft and with more determination than ever to
become a professional artist.
Hallowes-Billiter said she will not be surprised by the news
when he reaches that goal.
“I do not see a single limitation on him,” she said.
