A part of Artemis 

A lifetime love of spacecraft 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

On Sept. 3, Thomas Howard Smith sat at his desk 

in his London home, perched on the chair, staring intently 

at a large computer monitor. A television screen 

in an adjoining 

room could have offered 

him a more 

expansive view, but 

his satellite signal 

was not working 

well that day—a 

fact that he found 

to be humorous 

and somewhat 

ironic considering 

the technological 

advances that were 

to occur before his 

eyes. 

Locked into a 

live stream via the 

National Aeronautics 

and Space Administration (NASA) web page, 

Smith soaked in the sight of a 322-foot tall rocket 

called the Space Launch System 

(SLS) that was minutes 

away from blasting off into the 

atmosphere. Ever since childhood, 

he has had a passion for

“I am so excited about this program 

and the implications it could have on 

our future, finding life outside of our 

planet and the possibilities of new 

scientific breakthroughs and discovery. 

And to know that I played a part– 

a very small part, mind you, but a part 

nonetheless–in this new phase of 

space exploration that could inspire a 

new generation of scientific minds 

and the science-curious is still hard to 

wrap my head around.” 

–Thomas Howard Smith, 

retired NASA employee 

airplanes and spacecraft (real 

and fictional), but looking at 

this marvel of design, engineering, 

and operation hit him 

a little differently. 

“It was just parts being assembled 

when I started working 

on the SLS and the 

Artemis program with our 

[NASA] team, and seeing it 

completed and ready to launch 

was a real treat for me,” he 

said. 

Unlike most people who 

were watching the feed 

through the web stream or live 

on a cable news, Smith was familiar 

with the verbiage from 

the mission control booth and 

knew something was amiss 

during the systems test prior 

to the scheduled launch. Sure 

enough, the initial mission 

that would take the uncrewed 

spacecraft Orion into a monthlong 

distant retrograde orbit 

around the moon was postponed 

when a liquid hydrogen leak was 

detected. 

Retired from NASA for the 

past three years and living more 

than a thousand miles 

from the Kennedy 

Space Center in Cape 

Canaveral, Fla., 

Smith said he was 

ready to pack a bag, 

get in his car and 

drive down I-71 to 

help the operations 

crew find and fix the 

problem so they could 

get the rocket and 

spacecraft into the sky 

for exploration of the 

lunar surface. 

“Lisa [his wife] told 

me to sit back down,” 

he said with a laugh. 

“I have the utmost 

confidence that they can find 

and fix the problem, but I just 

wanted to go there and help.” 

Smith said he wasn’t too disappointed 

that the SLS did not 

launch initially because “reality 

is, nothing new goes on the first 

try.” Even so, he could not quell 

the buzzing sensations that were 

coursing through his body from 

the experience. 

“I am so excited about this 

program and the implications it 

could have on our future, finding 

life outside of our planet and the 

possibilities of new scientific 

breakthroughs and discovery,” 

he said. “And to know that I 

played a part—a very small part, mind you, but a part 

nonetheless—in this new phase of space exploration that 

could inspire a new generation of scientific minds and 

the science-curious is still hard to wrap my head 

around.” 

Smith recalls liking science and “space stuff” as a 

young boy. His dream to work at the space agency 

started to take root at the age of 7 when, on July 20, 

1969, he watched Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong 

and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin land and walk on the 

moon from the television set in his home in London. 

He said prior to that event, he really had no knowledge 

of NASA and what it would come to mean to him 

and so many others.

Thomas Howard Smith’s budding love for science and space exploration was cemented 

when, at age 7, he watched the Apollo 11 moon landing on the television set in his home 

in London. He would later spend more than three decades working for the National Aeronautics 

and Space Administration (NASA) on the operations team for shuttle missions, 

the International Space Station, and the Artemis program. Although the powerful rocket, 

the Space Launch System, has yet to have a clear window to blast off into space, the 

Artemis program will allow for further exploration of the lunar surface with uncrewed 

and crewed missions. The program’s ultimate goal is to put humans on Mars. 

“Watching the landings on the moon was just very exciting to 

me, just from the point of view of people exploring a place no one 

had been before,” he said. “Added to that, I was then what would 

be called a ‘tech nerd’ now.” 

After the historic event took place, Smith went on something 

akin to a personal mission as he attempted to get his hands on any 

book or magazine or piece of literature on space and science fiction. 

He started to build his own miniature rockets that he and his 

friends would try to launch. His father, George, who would later retire 

as the deputy warden of London Correctional Institution, and 

his mother, Shirley, who was a local sixth-grade teacher, encouraged 

their son’s interest but they were not always amused by his 

antics.

“They were supportive of my interest, but 

they didn’t always appreciate the racket we 

would make with our rocket launches,” he 

quipped. 

After graduating from London High 

School in 1980, Smith attended Michigan 

State University where he joined their Air 

Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. Four 

years later, equipped with a bachelor of science 

in physics and astronomy, the second 

lieutenant requested a transfer to the Vandenberg 

Air Force Base in Santa Barbara 

County, Calif., which was collaborating with 

NASA on Space Shuttle missions. 

“For the first half of my Air Force career, 

I was working on planning and hardware 

processing for the first shuttle mission that 

was to have been launched from Vandenberg, 

and I did some training at the 

(Kennedy Space Center) in Florida,” he said. 

When the shuttle launch facilities at 

Vandenberg closed shortly after the 1986 

Challenger disaster, Smith transferred to a 

program at the base in charge of Titan, a 

heavy lift rocket that carried large intelligence 

and reconnaissance satellites into 

orbit. There, he provided engineering and 

analysis assistance to get the program back 

on its feet after it experienced an uncrewed 

accident in a manner similar to the crewed 

Challenger mission. 

In 1988, a friend told Smith that NASA 

was hiring for its operations staff and he decided 

to apply. Having given up the dream 

of being an astronaut at 10 due to poor eyesight—“I 

knew it would disqualify me for 

being any kind of military pilot, which was 

the primary background for most astronauts 

at that point”—he knew he could 

process the data and set schedules and help 

find a solution to any mechanical issue that 

could arise. Still, he didn’t think he would 

be selected. 

Then he was. 

“I think I sat there [after the initial interview 

when he was told he was unofficially, 

but mostly officially, hired] for about 

an hour just absorbing what had happened,” 

he stated. 

From 1988 to 1997, Smith worked operations 

for the Space Shuttle processing, a job 

he described as scheduling backwards from 

a planned launch date to make sure the 

right parts are getting ordered and the right 

people are being called to fix problems that 

occur to ensure the safety of the missions, 

especially the manned crews. 

He said one of the most difficult things 

he had to do while working at NASA was to 

find the mechanical parts of the manned Columbia 

Space Shuttle that experienced a 

catastrophic failure as it reentered the atmosphere 

in 2003. 

In 1997, Smith went to work in International 

Space Station (ISS) processing, which 

he said was interesting, albeit frustrating, 

because the largest modular space station 

was being constructed in “chunks.” 

“Each chunk that went up—and we’re 

talking like 40 chunks—changed the configuration 

of the station, and all of the configurations 

had to work,” he explained. “So, it 

was like if you bought a car and you had two 

tires and part of an engine and maybe a 

seat, you had to find a way to make it operate. 

And then later, you would bring up 

maybe a couple more times, a bigger gas 

tank and another seat, and you would have 

to find a way to reconfigure the parts in 

order to make it work because people are 

[now] living on this station and they need 

power, and electrical power, and their life 

support units have to work.” 

Smith said those stressors were compounded 

when the teams at their partner 

agencies in Canada, Europe, Japan, and 

Russia would have a different way of finding 

solutions to problems. 

“I loved working with the Italians, but 

they had a very different way of doing 

things, you might say,” he laughed. “If you 

were working on a [launch] problem in August 

and tried to get ahold of one of their operations 

team members, you wouldn’t be 

able to get ahold of them because August is 

their vacation month. 

“It was sometimes stressful, but always 

interesting working with all of these different 

agencies and all of these different personalities.” 

During his time in ISS processing, Smith 

got involved with planning for Mars missions 

and later came to work on operations 

planning for the Ares I program which later 

became the Artemis program. Although the 

initial mission of the Artemis program is to 

create a long-term human presence on the 

lunar surface for further exploration of the 

moon, its ultimate goal is to send humans to

on which he worked while employed by NASA. He received the photographs at the time 

of his retirement three years ago. 

Mars via a series of experiments to determine 

how astronauts could get to the Red 

Planet and live on it for a duration of time. 

“The moon will essentially be a testing 

ground [for Mars expeditions],” Smith explained. 

“The equipment wouldn’t necessarily 

be the same, but a lot of the concepts of 

how the equipment is used—like the space 

suits, the science equipment, the vehicles 

that the astronauts roll around in and go to 

different places—you can test that stuff out 

on the moon where they’re close to Earth. If 

something goes wrong, you can bail out and 

come to Earth within a few days, but once 

they get to Mars, they’re not going to have 

that option. 

“It takes months to get there, and you 

can only return to Earth during a specific 

window in our rotation.” 

Smith reiterated his excitement about 

the potential of the Artemis program and its 

implications for science, space exploration, 

life on Earth, and life within the universe. 

“Carl Sagan, who is one of the people I 

think had a pretty big clue about what was 

going on, outside of his own personal life, 

said, ‘We are a way for the cosmos to know 

itself’, and I take that to heart,” Smith said. 

“If we are the only intelligent species 

around, that means we have a responsibility 

to try to keep understanding the universe. 

We have a responsibility to try not to let 

ourselves get wiped out in some way, and we 

have a responsibility to keep trying to understand 

the universe. 

“And if there are other kinds of life, not 

civilizations, but just life like amoebas or 

bacteria, we have to try to understand how 

it works, how they work, and add that to our 

library of what life looks like on another 

planet, in another place, and compare it to 

our extensive library of what life looks like 

here on Earth.” 

Smith said it will be a great day for science, 

a great day for space exploration, 

when the Artemis I program officially 

launches. The launch is now scheduled for 

mid-November. He added that he hopes it 

will inspire a new generation of explorers 

who go out and discover, and build their 

own backyard rockets, and dream. 

Thomas Howard Smith holds master of science 

degrees in engineering management and 

space science. He teaches an introductory astronomy 

course at Columbus State Community 

College.

Plain City Fall Festival planned for Oct. 22 

Axe throwing and archery new 

to event at Pastime Park 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Hayrides, a costume contest, axe throwing, and a professional 

pumpkin carver—that’s just the start of the list of attractions the 

village of Plain City has planned for their 2nd Annual Fall Festival. 

The family-friendly event is set for 4-7 p.m. Oct. 22 at Pastime 

Park, 370 N. Chillicothe St. Admission is free. 

Throw Nation, located in Dublin, is hosting the axe throwing station, 

a new addition to the festival. The activity is open to ages 13 

and older. Participants must sign a waiver. Also new is archery, 

open to all ages and sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural 

Resources. 

“We have a lot more craft vendors this year,” said Denton Kitts, 

parks and recreation assistant. “Over 20 vendors have signed up so 

far. We have people bringing baked goods, homemade pickles, wood 

crafts, jewelry, knitted items, soaps and candles, and lots of holiday 

gift items.” 

Anyone who would like to set up shop as a craft vendor at the 

festival can contact Kitts at dkitts@plain-city.com. Spaces are 

10x10-feet and free. The deadline to sign up is Oct. 17. 

Plenty of food and treats are planned. Food trucks and food vendors 

include Biscuit Boss, Guelagetza Mexican Street Food, 

Por’ketta (modern twist on barbecue), Rocky Mountain Coffee Co., 

Pink Pony Desserts, a kettle corn vendor, and Girl Scouts Troop 

4944 selling caramel apples. 

Local businesses, civic organizations, and individuals will hand 

out candy at Trick or Treat Alley. Anyone interested in giving out 

treats can contact Kitts. 

“Last year, we had about 300 kids just for Trick or Treat Alley. 

I think this year is going to be much bigger,” said Linda Granger, 

parks and recreation director, adding that those who sign up to give 

out treats should plan on having enough candy for 500 kids. 

Cornhole, a ring toss, and pumpkin tictac-toe 

are among the games the village has 

planned. The Miami Valley Steam Threshers 

will offer hayrides. Bounce houses, face 

painting, and a fall-themed photo op are 

part of the fun, too. Gus Smithhisler, a professional 

carver of giant pumpkins, returns. 

He will spend the festival creating a squash 

masterpiece. 

A costume contest is scheduled for 6 p.m. 

Prizes will be given in four children’s categories—2 

years old and younger, 3-6, 7-11, 

and 12 and older—as well as a group category 

for all ages. 

“The festival is a great, fun, fall activity 

that is safe and free,” Granger said. “You 

don’t have to spend any money if you don’t 

DELINQUENT REAL ESTATE AND 

MANUFACTURED HOME TAXES

Cuddly Anderson and calico Lucy up for adoption 

The following are among the pets up for 

adoption at the Humane Society of Madison 

County. 

Anderson 

This sweet cuddle 

bug’s name is 

Anderson. He may 

be big, but the shelter 

staff has a feeling 

he is going to 

think he’s a lap dog 

once he gets settled 

into a home. This 

boy has an estimated 

birth date of 

July 2017 and 

weighs about 73 pounds. Anderson is a 

handsome, awesome dog. When he is oneon-one 

with his person, he is the biggest 

baby. He is very intelligent, knows his basic 

obedience, and is very food motivated and 

quick to learn. He knows sit, down, sit and 

stay, shake with both paws, and he knows 

to stop and wait at doors before entering or 

exiting. 

Anderson keeps his kennel clean, loves 

pets and snuggles and will melt in your lap 

as he melts your heart. He is a very well-behaved 

boy. He does really well with services 

like nail trims and will politely hand you his 

paw. At this time, he is a little stressed at 

the shelter, so the staff is asking that Anderson 

be the only pet in the home and, 

maybe with more socializing and training, 

this will change. 

When it comes to children, Anderson is a 

very big guy with very big zoomies. The 

shelter staff would love for him to go to a 

home with older children who have experience 

with large doggos (just so he doesn’t accidentally 

knock anyone down. 

Adoption fees for dogs vary: shelter dogs 

are $180, prison dogs are $250, puppies are 

$300, and popular pure-breeds are $400. 

The price includes: a Home Again microchip, 

set of shots, deworming, heartworm 

testing (if old enough), spay or neuter, and 

a one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All 

dogs adopted must leave with a county license 

at an additional cost of $17; this fee is 

cash only. Adoption fees can be paid by cash 

or credit card. 

Lucy 

Lucy arrived 

at the shelter 

because her previous 

owners 

could no longer 

care for her. She 

has an estimated 

birth 

date of April 1, 2016. She not only has gorgeous 

blue eyes, she also has the most beautiful 

dilute calico coat (colored with grey, 

orange, white, peach, black and brown). 

Lucy loves to have her coat brushed, and 

she likes to lie around on the cat trees and 

take naps. She also loves pets and will headbutt 

you and say, “Hey, hooman. Pet me 

now!” Lucy is vocal when she wants to be, 

but for the most part she is pretty mellow 

and a little shy. 

Lucy has done well with the other cats 

she has met but will require slow, proper introductions. 

She has not yet met any dogs 

at the shelter but, like with cats, will require 

proper introductions. She seems to 

love everyone that she meets. The shelter 

staff thinks she will thrive in a home with 

children who have experience with cats and 

will give her time to adjust. 

Lucy is very treat-motivated and comes 

running when you rattle that treat jar. 

The adoption fee is $80 for kittens up to 

6 months old and $60 for cats 7 months and 

older. It includes: a FeLV/FIV test, spay or 

neuter, set of shots, deworming, and a oneyear 

rabies shot (if old enough). Fees can be 

paid by cash or credit card. 

Humane Society Info 

The Humane Society of Madison County 

(HSMC) remains closed to the public but

Special event traffic concerns 

Mt. Sterling council talks about 

road closures and routing issues 



Road closures for special events and the resulting 

traffic pattern changes were a hot topic at Mount Sterling 

village council’s Oct. 10 meeting. 

Council member Joyce Phillips said residents who live 

in the area near High and Market streets are concerned 

about traffic, especially large trucks, that is routed onto 

side streets when main roads are blocked for events such 

as the upcoming Haunted House on North London 

Street. She cited a village ordinance that restricts 

through-traffic of heavy-duty trucks on certain streets. 

Residents have suggested alternatives to alleviate 

some of their concerns about safety and parking. 

Phillips passed along one resident’s suggestion that 

Mount Sterling Masonic Lodge 269, organizers of the 

Haunted House, shift the entrance for the attraction to 

the back of the lodge so that lines could form into the 

alley, rather than flowing into the street at the front of 

the lodge. Another suggestion is to host events at Veterans 

Field by the Mount Sterling Community Center. 

(The village does not own Veterans Field.) 

Council member Andy Drake said he has talked to 

residents on High and Market streets about the issue. 

“I also am hearing an awful lot (about this). I have 

no instant answer other than to say we have to figure 

something out, and we’ve got to do it probably sooner 

rather than later,” he said. 

Drake noted that the village has worked on route 

ideas with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office over the 

years. Currently, traffic is routed one way onto some 

side streets during special events. 

Council member David Timmons said the situation 

is a two-sided coin. On the one side, residents need their 

privacy and safety concerns met; on the other side, the 

events give people in the community, especially children, 

something fun to do, he said. 

Council member Becky Martin belongs to the Mount 

Sterling Chamber of Commerce which organizes the 

three-day Summer Jam and half-day Christmas in the

Village and is involved in organizing the half-day Street 

Market and three-day Haunted House—all annual 

events in the village. She said organizers of these events 

have tried different approaches through the years, striving 

for a balance between accommodating the needs of 

the events and the wants, concerns and safety of residents. 

She said organizers are open to tweaking things, 

to a point. 

“If we start putting a lot of restrictions on these few 

events, these events will go away. I guarantee it,” Martin 

said. “They’re a lot of work, and everyone involved 

is all volunteers. The only reason that these events are 

happening are to benefit the community,” Martin said. 

Phillips said the residents she represents are not 

asking the events to stop, but rather want restrictions 

in place when it comes to shutting down streets and 

rerouting traffic. She said there should be no exceptions 

to the ordinance that prohibits through-traffic of heavyduty 

trucks on certain side streets. 

“I am speaking on behalf of the people in the neighborhood 

it has affected. And this is very important to 

them,” Phillips said. “And I don’t take this lightly because 

we are here to represent the village residents.” 

Martin said the village makes other exceptions, such 

as holding movie nights at Mason Park even though visitors 

are not permitted at the park after dusk. 

“We change these rules and make exceptions so our 

community can have events and can have some entertainment,” 

she said. 

Council member Rob Longcoy said the upcoming 

Haunted House is a “feel-good thing for the community” 

that both children and adults can enjoy. Without blocking 

the street, the event could not be presented to the 

extent it is now, he added. 

Phillips replied, “We’re not saying not to have it. 

We’re saying we need to tweak it and take some of the 

traffic burden off the streets, because they are residents, 

too.” 

Mayor Marci Darlington halted further discussion, 

suggesting that village officials, event organizers and 

concerned citizens meet at the start of next year to talk 

about the issue and potential solutions. She also said 

she would consult with other communities in Madison 

County to see what concerns they have fielded regarding 

special event traffic changes and the solutions they 

have found.

Everything free at WJ Fall Fest 



Shelton Stanley, West Jefferson’s special 

events and recreation manager, is proud to 

present the village’s 2nd Annual Fall Festival, 

slated for 6-9 p.m. Oct. 22 at the Community 

Center, 230 Cemetery Rd. 

“We want the community to come out 

and enjoy a fun-filled night,” Stanley said. 

“A lot of people nowadays get wrapped up in 

having to go pay for something. This is 

something we can provide to our community 

that’s free.” 

Spooky, tasty, lively—these are apt adjectives 

to describe what’s on tap for the event. 

Starting with the spooky side of things, the 

Community Center will be transformed into 

a haunted house. This year’s theme is zombies. 

Tours run from 6-9 p.m. and are open 

to all ages. Adults must accompany children 

who are 12 years old or younger. 

“High-school kids and some local adults, 

as well, have volunteered to come in and 

dress up for the haunted house,” Stanley 

said. 

The same goes for the haunted hayrides 

which will run from 7-9 p.m. 

New this year is a henna artist, balloon 

artist, and apple cider slushies, along with 

a second mechanical bull. Now, visitors 

have their pick of a zombie bull or a spider 

bull. 

Returning to the activities lineup are facepainting and a deejay. 

Visitors are encouraged to dress in costumes to add to the Halloween/autumn 

atmosphere. 

In addition to apple cider slushies, food offerings include hotdogs, 

hamburgers, shredded chicken, s’mores, and cotton candy. 

So far, more than 40 groups and individuals have signed up to 

hand out candy from the trunks of their cars for trunk-or-treat from 

6-8 p.m. Anyone who would like to join the lineup is asked to contact 

Stanley. 

“We tell people to have enough candy for 1,000 kids, and most of 

the time they still run out of candy,” he said. 

First-, second-, and third-place prizes will be awarded to the best 

decorated trunk-or-treat vehicles. West Jefferson Mayor Ray Martin, 

volunteer Bonnie Hamilton, and likely a couple of village council 

members will serve as judges. 

Stanley appreciates everyone who pitches in as sponsors, volunteers, 

and supporters for the festival. 

“I want to thank the mayor, village council, and all of our volunteers. 

Without them, none of this would be possible,” he said. 

Anyone who would like to volunteer or set up for trunk-or-treat 

can contact Stanley at (614) 307-6543.

Helen M. Hobson, age 76, of Marysville, went to be with the Lord 

on Friday, October 7, 2022, at home surrounded by her loving family following an 

extended illness. 

On September 21, 1946, Helen was born in Unionville Center, Ohio, the youngest of 

four children of the late Rev. Dale and Hazel (Thompson) Bliss. She graduated from 

Fairbanks High School in the class of 1965. She furthered her education, earning a 

business degree. 

One of Helen’s cousins set her up on a blind date with a young gentleman, James 

Hobson, and from there the rest is history. They were married a year later on January 

4, 1969, and have cherished their 53 years together. They were perfect opposites, 

with Jim being laid back and quiet, and Helen being chatty, with everyone teasing Jim that he could never get a 

word in edgewise. 

A loving homemaker, Helen took pride in caring for her husband and two children until they were further along 

in school. She then joined her brother, Russell, as his office manager at Bliss Medical Supply, where he repaired 

medical equipment. 

Very faithful, Helen was an active member of the Marysville Freewill Baptist Church, where often volunteered to 

help their ladies aid group. She also was a fifty plus year member of the Eastern Star. 

A sewing and craft expert, Helen could make anything she set her mind to. She was a whiz on the sewing machine, 

making special clothes, outfits and costumes for her family. She loved getting creative in her craft room, making 

latch-hooks, embroideries, crocheting, and so much more. She also loved doing her crossword puzzles. 

Having a heart of gold, Helen deeply loved her family, friends and her church family. For her beloved great-grandchildren, 

she was their wheelchair MaMa, entertaining them with long rides. She also had an ornery, quirky sense 

of humor that made everyone smile. 

She will be dearly missed by her beloved husband, James Hobson of Marysville; two children: Robert (Lath) Hobson 

of Hilliard, and Amy Borham of Marysville; three grandchildren: Mark and Cody Borham, and Jessica Hobson; three 

great-grandchildren: Earl Dean, Timothy and Madilyn Borham; a brother, John (Brenda) Bliss of Plain City; a sisterin-law, 

Judi (Gary) Landin of South Carolina; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Including her parents, Helen was preceded in death by her sister and brother-in-law, Barbara (Donald) Collins; 

brother, Russell Bliss; and her father-in-law and mother-in-law: Cecil and Alice (Harrington) Hobson. 

Her family will greet friends from 5 – 7 pm on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at the Ingram Funeral Home, 975 N. 

Maple St., Marysville. Services honoring her life will also be held there at 11 am, on Wednesday, with Pastor Paul 

Bogenrife officiating. Burial will follow in Broadway Cemetery. 

Memorial contributions may be made to Loving Care Hospice (https://ohioshospicelovingcare.org/donations/). 

On behalf of her family, they would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Loving Care Hospice for their sweet, 

tender care of Helen in her final weeks and days. 

Ingram Funeral Home of Marysville is honored to serve Helen’s family and your condolences may be expressed 

to them by visiting www.IngramFuneralService.com.

then worked professionally as a welder for Dole Fresh Vegetables

Shining the spotlight on talented young artists 



The west-facing side of the building at 58 

E. High St. in London has a new look that 

brings the story behind the east-facing side 

full circle. 

A few weeks ago, Mick Harris, who owns 

the building, helped to install five pieces of 

artwork on the building’s west-facing exterior. 

The pieces are reproductions of Best of 

Show winners in the Kurt Lattimer Aspiring 

Artist Award program. 

Art contest 

The 6th Annual Kurt Lattimer Aspiring 

Artist Award contest is open to high 

school seniors from Madison County who 

are slated to graduate in 2023. Students 

in public, private or home school are invited 

to enter. 

The contest commemorates the life of 

Kurt Lattimer, an artist and 2008 London 

High School graduate who passed 

away in 2017. The contest is designed to 

challenge and inspire local youths to cultivate 

and share their artistic talent, as 

well as promote the arts in Madison 

County. 

The theme for the contest is “What I 

Dream of for My Future.” A prize of $500 

will go to the first-place finishers in each 

of the following categories: paintings and 

drawings; digital art; and stained glass, 

mosaics and ceramics. The entrant 

whose work is named overall Best of 

Show will receive $1,000. 

Entries are due by noon on Jan. 21. 

Winners will be announced and all entries 

will be displayed during the Madison 

County Arts Council’s Young Artist 

Showcase on Jan. 22 at First United 

Methodist Church of London. Art then 

will be displayed at London City Hall in 

February. 

More information about entering the 

competition can be found at aspiringartistaward.com. 

Prizes are funded through donations. 

Donations may be sent to: Madison 

County Arts Council, P.O. Box 122, London, 

OH 43140. Please mark the memo 

line with “KLAAA.” 

The program honors local artist Kurt 

Lattimer who created the London community 

mural that adorns the opposite side of 

the building. Kurt passed away in 2017 at 

the age of 27. With the support of friends 

and loved ones, Harris and Kurt’s mother, 

Kim Lattimer Reeder, established the Aspiring 

Artist Award program five years ago 

to give young artists a chance to shine. 

“It feels wonderful to have the artwork 

up on the building,” Harris said about the 

recent installation. “It means so much to 

Kim, and it means so much to me, as well, 

to honor Kurt that way and to recognize the 

kids.” 

The Aspiring Artist Award contest is 

open to high school seniors in Madison 

County. The theme is the same each year: 

“What I Dream of for My Future.” 

“Each of the pieces of artwork are so different, 

yet they are all the same. All kids 

have dreams, and every kid is unique,” Harris 

said. 

Ever since moving to London many years 

ago, Reeder, an artist herself, has been impressed 

by the number of artistic, creative 

people living in the area. 

“There’s a wealth of talent here. I think 

sharing that with the community is important, 

especially for youth. It has to be inspirational 

to them,” she said. 

Harris agrees. 

“Seeing kids produce art the way they do 

is amazing. The talent—it’s hidden. We want 

to encourage kids to follow their passions, 

follow their dreams. We want kids to have 

an outlet and an award for continuing that 

Tax preparation volunteers needed 

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, which suspended 

operations in Madison County more 

than two years ago as the COVID-19 pandemic 

worsened, is preparing to return this 

winter and is looking for volunteers to help 

restart the service. 

The all-volunteer program provides free, 

no-strings-attached income tax preparation 

to anyone but places emphasis on serving 

senior citizens. Before the shutdown, Tax- 

Aide volunteers working at the Madison 

County Emergency Management Agency 

prepared tax returns for about 350 London 

area residents each year. 

Volunteers provide a calm and reassuring 

hand to people who are often fretful about 

filing their return, make sure clients receive 

every tax benefit to which they are entitled, 

and save them the often significant amount 

of money that private tax preparers charge. 

Volunteers come from all walks of life. No 

experience is required. Tax-Aide provides 

training, a computer to work on, and mentorship 

throughout the tax season. For more 

information, go to aarpfoundation.org/taxaidevolunteer 

or call 1-888-227-7669. 

passion. Don’t ever hide it!” he said. 

The students’ artwork will remain on display 

as long as there is room on the building’s 

wall. Harris estimates he has space for 

another five pieces—meaning another five 

years’ worth of contest winners—before it 

will be necessary to rotate out the older 

pieces or come up with another solution. 

Harris is in the process of selling the 

building to the current occupants, Eddie 

and Victoria Vallery, owners of Vallery’s 

Farmhouse Bakery. 

“They know the passion I had for Kurt’s 

mural. They worked their drive-through

wanting to put the kids’ artwork on the 

other side,” he said. 

Reeder is thrilled to have the student artwork 

on display for the community to see 

and to see her son’s memory honored. 

“A man came up and asked why I was 

taking photos during the installation (of the 

artwork),” she said. “I was telling him about 

this award and before I even got to the point 

of telling him about Kurt, he asked me, 

‘Kurt Lattimer?’ I was floored. Kurt had tattooed 

this man. So cool! Kurt is very much 

present.”
