areas of Madison County.

Center. She won Best in Show for her entry, “Workaholic.”

The Kurt Lattimer Aspiring Artist Award was founded
eight years ago to honor the life and artistry of Kurt Lattimer,
a 2008 graduate of London High School who passed
away in 2017. It was established by his mother, Kim Lattimer-Reeder,

all of the students to continue creating art and showcasing
it to the public.

The Madison County Arts Council is a non-profit organization
that provides opportunities for the community
and youth to pursue their dreams in the arts. According
to co-treasurer Valerie Peart, the non-profit organization
is looking to award five $1,000 scholarships to local high
school seniors. These scholarships, which are given annually
during the spring at the local schools’ award ceremonies,
are granted to individuals based on their
submitted essays, their past engagement in the arts, and
their academic performance. Students have until the end
of March to submit their applications. For more information
on the scholarship, visit www.madisoncountyartscouncil.org.
Among the individuals who performed in front of the
full capacity crowd was Madison Estep, a junior at
London High School. The tubist delighted the audience
with her rendition of “Yesterday” by The Beatles.

Meet Meadow
I'm a majestic blend of Mastiff and Australian
Shepherd, tipping the scales at a robust
92 lbs. born in February 2017. My
journey began alone in a local park, but a
kind-hearted police officer brought me to
the wonderful shelter.
People seem to be captivated by my
eyes, and they say they're stunning. More
importantly, affection is my middle name,
and I thrive on human
I'm looking for someone who can match
my enthusiasm on the leash. I'm eager to
learn and just need a patient teacher to
guide me through the basics. I shine brightest
as the only dog in the home,, I've mingled
with older kids, and we get along
famously. My size might be a bit much for
the little ones, but my heart is just the
right size for a family to love.
I'm proud to say my kennel is always
spick and span. It seems I've had some
house training in my past, which should
make settling into a new home a breeze. I
adore field trips to the park, and I'm quite
the aquatic enthusiast, I'm hoping to capture
your heart and become a cherished
member of your family best friend.
Meet Bailey
This incredibly handsome and sweet boy
is Bailey! Bailey is a Blue Merle Australian
Cattle Dog and Terrier mix, currently
weighing around 56lbs Bailey is the definition
of a cuddle bug! If you have a lap or
body he can lean against and just give him
all the love and pets, he will be your best
bud.
He is a typical dog and loves to go outside
for walks and playtime too! Bailey does
great walking on leash from what our staff
and volunteers say. Bailey bonds hard with
his person and would prefer to be the only
doggo in the home.
He also has a high prey drive meaning
he might try and chase cats and would do
best in a feline free home. Bailey absolutely
loves to play frisbee and fetch! so if you're
looking for a dog to be active with, Bailey is
your boy.
Bailey also keeps his kennel tidy, even
overnight. He's house-trained, and given
time to adjust to your routine, he'll do wonderfully.
If you would like to come and meet
this sweet and gentle boy, please fill out an
application today!

BALLARD
Joyce Elaine (Lucas) Ballard, 82, of London,
passed away Jan. 23 in Riverside
Methodist Hospital, Columbus, with her
family by her side.
Born March 25, 1942, in Washington
Court House, Ohio, she was a daughter of
Jack Lucas and Audrey (Rice) Lucas.
Joyce had worked professionally for the
BCI, devoting 27 years of service before retiring.
A woman of strong faith, Joyce was a
long-time member of the Newport Church of
Christ in Christian Union where she especially
enjoyed attending the Tuesday night
bible study group. An avid camper, Joyce enjoyed
the peaceful serenity of being out in nature
where she could witness firsthand the
beautiful landscapes that God himself had
made. Joyce was also an avid Ohio State
Buckeyes fan and was overjoyed that she
was able to watch the Buckeyes win the National
Championship one last time. Additionally,
she was a hallmark channel enthusiast,

BLACKWELL
John R. “Frog” Blackwell II, 50, of Mechanicsburg,
formerly of London, died Sunday,
Jan. 19 in the Ohio State Wexner
Medical Center, Columbus.
Born Feb. 23, 1974, in Columbus, he was
a son of Earl Blackwell and Linda (Carroll)
Ward.
Frog enjoyed cooking and had worked for
Waffle House where he dedicated over
twenty years of service. His true love was always
found in music. While he listened to
various genres, he always gravitated back to
metal music where he enjoyed attending concerts
with his buddy Cracker. Frog also enjoyed
fishing whenever possible, even though
the bait was usually bigger than any fish he
would catch! Frog cherished time spent together
with family and friends, and could always
be found playing uno, shooting pool, or
even a striking up a game of basketball with
his daughter Maranda. He was always immensely
proud of her and the young woman
she has become. Frog’s fun-loving free spirit
made him a truly unique and irreplaceable
person to be around. Affectionately, a phrase
he often uttered included “you’re in my way,”
which will continue to live on as a regular
saying and lasting legacy amongst those who
loved him.
Frog is survived by his daughter Maranda
(Kaleb) Syfert; siblings Jeff (Melissa Letcher)
Blackwell, Jennifer (Benton) Smith, Marcy
Blackwell, Erin Blackwell, Theresa LeMaster,
Earl Blackwell, Kenny Ward, Kathy
Swyer, and Karen (David) Pierce; a host of
nieces and nephews; Maranda’s mother April
(Charles) Gearhart; many aunts, uncles,
cousins, and numerous extended family
members and close friends.
In addition to his parents, Frog was preceded
in death by his stepfather Kenneth
“Kenny” Ward and brothers Bob and Don
Blackwell.
Frog’s family received friends for visitation
on Jan, 24 in the EBERLE-FISHER FU-
NERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 103
North Main Street, London, Ohio 43140.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Frog’s
name may be sent to the funeral home to assist
with covering funeral expenses. Envelopes
will be available during visitation.
Memorials may also be submitted online
through the “Donations” tab on the top of the
obituary or can be made by contacting the funeral
home directly.

At the Dec. 17 South Charleston Commission
meeting, the commissioners discussed
the possibility of the Village purchasing the
historic Houston Inn located at 25 E. Mound
St. for $150,000.
Per the Houstonia’s website
(houstonia.net), the home was built in 1900
by Foster Houston, heir to a fortune that in
today’s dollars would equate to well over $50
million. At his home, Houston would often
host high stakes poker games that included
prominent politicians and other members of
the financial elite.
The Inn in recent years has been the
Houstonia Bed & Breakfast, rated 4.5 out of
five with 11 reviews on Tripadvisor. It’s location
adjacent to the Ohio to Erie Trail
(OTET) makes it a popular stop for cyclists.
Tripadvisor user “GO-OHIO” described
the Houstonia as “like stepping back in time
to a stunning entryway full of beautiful woodwork.
This house is from a great era when
craftsman created works of art in the home.
Village Clerk/Fiscal Officer Jessica Hiser
said that the South Charleston Commissioners
will likely vote to approve the purchase
at their next meeting on Feb. 4.
