Following a recount,
Gregory S. Eades has
won a seat on London
city council by one vote.
Three at-large city
council seats were up

2 general election. Five
Gregory Eades
candidates ran for
those seats—Eades, Brenda Russell, Joshua
Peters, John J. Stahl, and Carla S. Blazier.
After polls closed on election night, Peters
and Stahl were clear winners of two of the
three seats, according to unofficial results
from the Madison County Board of Elections.
Russell and Eades were separated by
just two votes—Russell received 742 votes;
Eades received 740 votes. Blazier received

Council votes down abortion ban legislation
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
London city council voted down legislation
calling for an abortion ban in the city.
The 5-2 vote came during council’s regular
meeting on Nov. 18.
The proposal would have prevented anyone
from procuring or performing abortions
within city limits and would have declared
London to be a sanctuary city for the unborn.
Council member Anthony Smith sponsored
the legislation. He and council
member Bryan Robinson cast the two “yes”
votes in support of the legislation. Later in
the meeting, Robinson said he meant to vote
“no.”
Smith introduced the legislation at council’s
Oct. 7 meeting after which it was sent
to council’s public safety and finance committees
for further discussion before returning
to full council on Nov. 18.
When the proposal came up for a second
reading during the business portion of the
Nov. 18 meeting, Smith moved that council
make amendments to the legislation to include
language that clarified that the proposed
regulations would be applicable only
within the London city limits. Smith had
emailed the proposed amendments to his
fellow council members the second week of
October.
Smith retracted his motion to vote on the
amendments at the Nov. 18 meeting after
other council members voiced questions. He
suggested that council revisit the amendments
at the next council meeting. He was
surprised when council member Joshua Peters
made a motion to suspend the threereading
rule and vote immediately on the
legislation itself.
Council voted 6-1 to bypass the usual
three readings for a piece of legislation, with
Smith casting the “no” vote. Council then
voted on the legislation. The legislation
failed with the 5-2 vote.
Council comments
Just prior to the vote, Henry Comer,
council president, stated the city had no
right or jurisdiction to bring the proposed
legislation.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re for or against
this legislation. The issue that we’re looking
at largely is the Constitution and infringing
on Constitutional rights. I think that this
legislation could easily set the stage to start
to reverse engineer other Constitutional
rights, such as freedom of speech, right to
bear arms,” Comer said.
He later added, “The city of London
should not be used as a pawn to trample on
Constitutional rights and has no enforceable
authority to do so.”
During round table at the end of the
meeting, each council member commented
on the legislation and the vote.
“What we see nowadays is so much of
someone else trying to control you about
what you should do and what you shouldn’t
do,” said council member Bryan Robinson.
“We see it so much at the higher levels, and
I did not, from my personal settings, think
that it was my choice to tell someone else
what they should do with their selves. As
much as I don’t agree with it, I’m not the one
who has to make those decisions. That person
has to make those decisions, and they
have to live with it.”
Council member Carla Blazier said that
for a long time, she didn’t know which way
she was going to vote on the legislation. She
said she gathered as much information as
she could, listened to all public comments,
solicited opinions on the matter via social
media, and prayed about it before making
her decision.
Peters said he took into consideration the
comments he heard, adding, “I’m not here to
tell you what to do with your body.”
Council member Andy Hitt said he didn’t
want to put the city at risk financially with
the potential for lawsuits. He said regulation
of abortion was outside the bounds of
the city’s authority.
“Regardless of my position on abortion, I
cast my vote based on my obligations to my
position as a council member,” he said. “I
would like to compliment Anthony (Smith)
for bringing this forward, though. It’s a difficult
issue to bring up and to deal with and
the possible confrontation that would
occur.”
Council member Rich Hays, an ordained
minister, said it was a difficult decision.
“There was too much in it that I felt was
a risk to the city, and I just didn’t feel comfortable
with going ahead with it,” he said.
“I’m pro-life as much as anybody, believe

When the difference between votes is equal to or less than 0.5
percent, Ohio law stipulates that an automatic recount take place.
The Board of Elections conducted that recount on Nov. 22. The recount
showed Eades with 755 votes and Russell with 754 votes,
thereby making Eades the winner of the third at-large council seat.
Both Eades and Russell ran as Independents. Peters and Stahl
are Republicans. Blazier ran as a write-in.

me, I am, but again, I think the responsibility
that I have here is not to get into setting
laws that can’t be taken care of. This would
be so hard to enforce; it would be a nightmare
for the city.”
Hays applauded Smith for bringing forth
the proposal.
“I know where his heart’s at. He’s a good
man; he’s a good pastor. He’s doing what he
thinks is right,” Hays said.
Smith said, “I can stand before my constituents.
I’ve represented them well. I did
what I was asked to do. I haven’t brought
religion into it; I’ll bring it in now. I can
stand before God and know that what I did
was right,”
Audience comments
Prior to the business portion of the meeting
and the vote, several individuals addressed
council regarding the legislation.
Among those who supported the proposal
was Brendan Shea, a London resident and
president of Madison County Right to Life.
Shea noted that most of the council members
are Republicans, that the Republican
Party platform is pro-life, and that voters
chose the council members to represent
them. He also said that all things worth
doing in life come with risk.
“The oath that you took as an elected official—and
I’ve taken the same oath as an
elected member of the state board of education—was
not an oath to do everything in
your power to make sure a frivolous lawsuit
never comes to London. The oath you took
was to uphold the Constitution,” Shea said.
He later stated, “If, in your heart of
hearts, if in your conscience, you believe that
the Constitution provides for a right to snuff
out the child in the womb, then... you should
vote against this ordinance. But if, as I believe
many of you do, you believe in the right
to life, but also that the Constitution provides
no such right, then I would urge you to
support whole-heartedly this ordinance.”
London residents Rebecca and Todd
Rickenberg spoke in favor of the legislation.
Rebecca said she grew up in Lebanon, one
of two cities in Ohio that has recently
passed similar legislation. The other is
Mason. Rebecca said she was proud that
Lebanon and Mason passed the legislation.
“A child inside the womb is no less of a
child because they are on the inside instead
of the out. They are people, too, and people
have the right to life,” she said.
Addressing council, Todd Rickenberg
added, “You guys have a hard decision, but
at least you guys can make a decision. The
unborn children cannot make a decision for
themselves when someone decides to end
their life in abortion.”
London resident George Schwartz supported
the legislation, as well.
“They say this is about a choice, their
choice. They say, ‘It’s my body, my choice.’
Well, that baby is a human being, too, and that
baby has its own DNA and its own blood, and
under the Constitution, I believe it’s entitled
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Schwartz commended city council for allowing
citizens on both side of the issue to
express their opinions.
London resident Steven Miller was
among those who spoke in opposition to the legislation.
“That opposition is not because I support abortion. It’s because I
support the rule of law,” he said, after which he pointed to several
sections of the proposed legislation that he said violated the U.S.
and Ohio constitutions. “This is a bad law that our (city) law director
said is unconstitutional, and I say is blatantly unconstitutional.”
London resident Moriah Miller commented, “To be free to make
personal choices about my health care and the health care of my
children is something that I didn’t expect to be at risk here.”
Sierra Dobbs-Brown, a Columbus resident and regional field
manager for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, said she has
seen “costly litigation, the boycotts, and the public ridicule” that
other cities in Ohio and elsewhere have experienced as a result of
similar legislation.
“This ordinance is harmful. When abortion is not an option, people
and their children suffer,” Dobbs-Brown said.
Ariana Ybarra, a Columbus resident and a field manager for
NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, questioned the impetus for introducing
the legislation in London, referring to abortion ban legislation originating
in Texas. She viewed it as a way to “further stigmatize abortion
or attempt to limit or completely remove London residents’
ability to access abortions.”
London resident Michael Norman opposed the legislation because
he said it could not be enforced. He pointed to a lack of city
zoning restrictions for abortion clinics, the ease of obtaining abortion-inducing
medications in cities where similar legislation has
passed, and state rulings that allow abortions up to 20 weeks.
London resident Jane Batdorf submitted a letter in which she
said pro-life advocates and those who support legislation that bans
abortion are “trying to send these young women back to the dark
ages before birth control pills and the time of coat hanger abortions
and back-store quacks.”
London resident Tiffany Flax said the reasons why and circumstances
under which women seek abortions vary.
“We can’t know what these women are going through,” she said,
then added, “Whatever the case is, I can’t tell her what to do. I don’t
think anyone has the right to tell her what to do. She has to be able
to make that decision for herself.”
London resident Martin Kimbler did not speak for or against the
legislation but instead said the city’s time and resources would be
better spent on other issues, such as hunger, homelessness and
drug addiction.

Sally Heydon, 88, of Woodstock passed peacefully at Valley Hi Nursing and
Rehab after enduring more than 15 years with dementia. She was born August 26,
1933 in Coronado, CA to Julian D. Greer and Eleanor Jones Greer.
Sally’s father was a Naval aviator who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. He
earned the rank of Captain before being killed in a plane crash. Due to his nomadic
military career, Sally had a charmed and well-traveled childhood, including living on
Ipanema Beach, Rio, Brazil where she attended three years of high school. Her family
also lived in Hawaii, Rhode Island, Atlanta, and California several times.
Sally attended Miami of Ohio University on an NROTC scholarship, where she majored in political science
and languages. Although she completed her initial Navy training, her career plans were waylaid when, in
1954, she married Robert M. Heydon, a Navy pilot whom she met in college. They lived in Pensacola, FL;
Oahu, HI; Coronado, CA; and Okinawa, Japan. When her husband left the service and started flying for United
Airlines, the family of five moved to Crystal Lake, IL in 1965, then to Bull Valley in 1972. After their divorce in
1977, Sally enjoyed a nearly 40-year relationship with her life partner, until his passing in 2010.
Sally enjoyed parties, celebrations, and music. Andy Williams was her favorite singer. She was also a great
dancer, especially ballroom and the hula, which she valiantly tried to teach her daughters. She was a very
intelligent, beautiful, and accomplished woman, as well as a good mother and grandmother, a great cook,
wife, and partner. As a homemaker before starting work in the mid-70’s, she was a shrewd bridge player,
member of League of Women Voters and AAUW, and volunteered for multiple community organizations,
including the old Woodstock hospital. Animal lover doesn’t begin to describe how much she loved furry
creatures, in particular cats, dogs and horses. She won many ribbons in equestrian jumping competitions.
She is survived by her daughters, Lisa Heydon and Julie Heydon Miller of Woodstock, IL; grandson Nick Miller
of Revere, MA; granddaughter Samantha Miller of Chicago, IL; niece Ann Pentland of Calistoga, CA; as well
as nephew Linus Heydon, III and niece Susan Heydon Szozda; plus several cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Julian and Eleanor Greer; her son, David Heydon; and her sister,
Barbara Pentland.
Her daughters thank the staff at Valley Hi for their diligent care the past few years, and JourneyCare for their
gentle and capable hospice assistance at the end. The “long goodbye” that dementia creates for patients,
caregivers and families has now come to an end.
Arrangements are being handled by Schneider, Leucht, Merwin and Cooney in Woodstock. Friends and
family may sign the digital guest book at https://www.slmcfh.com. The family plans a celebration of Sally’s
life in May 2022, details for which will be published at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association or Woodstock Helping Paws in
her name.

Plain City plans two-part holiday celebration
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Plain City is changing
things up this year, presenting
its Christmas festivities
in two parts—one in
the morning and one in the
late afternoon/evening—
both on Dec. 4.
The day starts with the
Route 42 Holiday Hop.
From 9 to 11 a.m., the spotlight
will shine on businesses
located in Plain City
along Route 42. Stores will
offer refreshments, giveaways,
coupons and sales.
Santa will visit with children at Plain City
Ace Hardware, 625 W. Main St.
From 4 to 7 p.m., the spotlight shifts to
uptown Plain City for Christmas Under the
Clock where the street will be blocked off between

“The village is excited to bring such a
great event back with Christmas Under the

Mt. Sterling Christmas
in the Village is Dec. 4
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Ho-ho-ho! Christmas in the Village
is a go! The Mount Sterling
Chamber of Commerce is hosting
its annual holiday celebration from
4 to 8 p.m. Dec. 4 in downtown
Mount Sterling.
An illuminated parade will step
off at 6 p.m. Lineup starts at 5:30 in the
parking lot at the Mount Sterling Community
Center, 164 E. Main St. The parade
route runs from the center, to Main Street,
across London Street, over to Columbus
Street, then north onto London Street. Anyone
who would like to participate is asked
to contact Tim Corbin at (614) 530-3132.
Santa will participate in the parade and
be dropped off at the gazebo across from
town hall, 1 S. London St., where he and
Mrs. Claus will light the tree, greet children,
hand out candy, and pose for photos.
Throughout the event, vendors will be
selling their wares outside on the town hall
lawn and inside Masonic Lodge 269, 54 N.
London St. Booth space is $20. To inquire
about renting a space, contact Barbie Wallace
at (614) 832-0796.
Businesses will be open, offering refreshments,
sales, and giveaways. Some will offer
activities, too, such as Urban Pineapple
where children can make reindeer food with
help from Summer Jam Festival royalty.
The Mount Sterling Market Crew encourages
visitors to participate in the Shop
Hop, collecting stamps at downtown businesses
for a chance to win prizes and Chamber
Bucks good at participating businesses.
The grand prize is a basket of merchandise
It was great to see the great turnout of
citizens for our Veterans Day event. Also on
that day, we dedicated the new flag poles
and six flags for the branches of the military.
As a member of American Legion Post
417, I would like to thank all of our veterans
worth more than $100.
New this year are a live nativity
scene, courtesy of Mount Sterling
First Church of the Nazarene, and
a petting zoo, both of which will be
set up on the town hall lawn. Also
new are horse-drawn carriage rides
provided by Horse-N-Round Fun.
The rides are $10 each. Drop-off
and pickup are at Reiterman Feed & Supply.
Other event features include a caricature
artist and face painter (location will depend
on the weather) and a giving tree at the
gazebo with free mittens, scarves and hats
for anyone who needs them.
Several contests are planned, including
Best Dressed Pet at 4:30 p.m. and Gaudy
Christmas Get-Up (for humans) at 5 p.m.,
both at the gazebo. Hammer Time Pub, 27 S.
London St., is sponsoring a chili contest. For
a donation, anyone can enter the contest or
judge the entries. Proceeds go to Mason Park.
In a change from past celebrations, the
Mount Sterling Community Center will not
be open for the event. Instead, center personnel
will be set up inside town hall where children
can make ornaments and write letters
to Santa. The center also is hosting a tree
auction at town hall. Local groups and businesses
have decorated and donated tabletop
Christmas trees. Visitors are invited to vote
on their favorites, as well as bid on trees
they’d like to take home. The silent auction
starts at 4 p.m. and ends at 7:30. Winners
will be contacted by phone to make arrangements
to pick up their trees at 8:30. Proceeds
benefit the center. Any group that would like
to decorate and donate a tree can contact
Tamra Hall at (614) 271-2316 for details.
letter to the editor
Veterans saluted, flag poles dedicated
for their service. Also, God bless the USA
and our wonderful citizens of the village of
Mount Sterling.

ADVISORY
The National Trade Association
we belong to has
purchased the following
classifieds. Determining
the value of their service
or product is advised by
this publication. In order
to avoid misunderstandings,
some advertisers do
not offer “employment”
but rather supply the
readers with manuals, directories
and other materials
designed to help
their clients establish mail
order selling and other
businesses at home. Under
NO circumstance
should you send any
money in advance or give
the client your checking,
license ID or credit card
numbers. Also beware of
ads that claim to guarantee
loans regardless of
credit and note that if a
credit repair company
does business only over
the phone it’s illegal to request
any money before
delivering its service. All
funds are based in US
dollars. Toll Free numbers
may or may not
reach Canada. Please
check with the Better
Business Bureau 614-

Protection Section
