Solid as a river of rocks 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

One rock is painted to look like a taco lying on its side. Another’s 

bump now serves as the nose on a blue-eyed face. 

“The Scream,” Edvard Munch’s iconic painting, is represented 

in miniature, as is the notorious Marvel Comics superhero, Deadpool. 

Puns have their place—an ocean scene illustrates the phrase, 

“Seas the Day”—as does inspiration—one colorful rock urges the 

reader to “Be a Rainbow in Someone’s Life.” 

Altogether, more than 600 cobblestones make up the “rock river” 

that hugs a wall of classrooms in the courtyard outside the cafeteria 

at London Middle School. Six hundred small, individualized works 

of art come together to create one big, collective masterpiece. 

The idea: To let the artists (students at the school) know they 

are special and they belong. 

“The rocks aren’t separated by grade; they’re all mixed in with 

one another. It’s a masterpiece that represents them. They make it 

their own and then they belong in here,” said Kirsten Witt, the 

sixth-grade language arts and reading teacher who is coordinating 

the project. 

Witt saw the rock river idea online two 

years ago, but put it on the back burner 

until this past February when 17 students 

and staff were killed in a mass shooting at 

a high school in Parkland, Fla. 

“I couldn’t sleep that night” Witt said. 

“At 3 a.m., I saw the rock river image again 

on Facebook and immediately thought, ‘We 

need to do this.’ In my mind, it was a way to 

unify the students.” 

The first order of business was to acquire 

600 rocks. Witt quickly learned that to purchase 

just 400 rocks, she’d need $1,000. She 

opted instead to pitch her project idea to 

quarries and sandstone companies. After 

many calls and few positive responses, she 

finally heard back from Ron Wike with National 

Lime & Stone out of Lockbourne. 

“He asked about the idea and then he 

asked what the budget was. I said I didn’t 

have a budget. He donated the rocks,” Witt 

said. 

That was the start of a collaboration that 

involved donations from several local individuals, 

groups, and companies. Eric 

Warnock transported the rocks from Lockbourne 

by dumptruck. The middle school 

student council donated decorative paint, 

paint brushes and other supplies. They also 

sorted the big rocks (for painting) from the 

little rocks (for the river’s base). Dwyers 

Bros. Hardware donated mesh ground covering, 

Jeff Mathewson donated edging material, 

and Sherwin Williams pitched in 

base coat paint. Ken Davis helped with 

landscaping, and Jeremy Porter created and

London Middle School sixth-graders place rocks they painted in 

the “rock river” in the courtyard outside the cafeteria. Their rocks 

join the more than 600 rocks placed there this past spring by last 

year’s sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders. The river is meant to 

symbolize unity among all students at the school. 

Country music stars taking the stage in London 



Country music stars Joe Diffie and Jimmie 

Allen are set to take the stage Nov. 16 

in the inaugural Country Concert Series at 

the Madison County Fairgrounds in London. 

Diffie, a member of the Grand Ole Opry, 

is headlining the show. Since he first topped 

the country charts in 1990 with “Home,” he 

has amassed 12 No. 1 hits, 20 top-10s, and 

four gold and platinum albums. Among his 

popular tunes are “Ships That Don’t Come 

In,” “Pickup Man,” “John Deere Green” and 

“If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets).” 

As a songwriter, Diffie’s success is 

equally as impressive. In addition to the numerous 

hits he kept for himself, his songs 

have been recorded by Holly Dunn, Tim Mc- 

Graw, Tracy Lawrence, Conway Twitty, 

Doug Stone and, most recently, Jo Dee 

Messina whose recording of “My Give a 

Damn’s Busted,” became a No. 1 song. 

Recent collaborations with Jason Aldean 

on “1994,” a hit released earlier this year, 

and hick-hop stars The Jawga Boyz on “Girl 

Ridin’ Shotgun,” are opening new doors for 

Diffie at this point in his career. He is 

working on an album of new material, due

Concert showcases pipe organ’s dynamic range 



“What makes the pipe organ special among instruments is its 

capacity to go from the softest, most prayerful of sounds to the 

mightiest roar and all the gradations in between,” says Michael 

Schreffler, organist and music director at First United Methodist 

Church (UMC) of London. 

On Nov. 4, Schreffler will showcase the range of the church’s 

Johnson & Son/Muller pipe organ in a solo concert set for 4 p.m. Admission 

is free. A $10 donation is suggested.

This marks Schreffler’s first solo concert 

in four years. He often collaborates with 

other musicians and takes part in the annual 

Sounds of the Season, a Madison 

County Arts Council production hosted at 

the church. He has served as the church’s 

organist and music director for 11 years. 

“We’re uniquely blessed in London, Ohio, 

to have such a fine instrument. This is the 

most versatile pipe organ for its size and resources 

that I’ve ever set hands on,” said 

Schreffler, who started playing piano at 9 

years old and shortly thereafter shifted to 

organ. 

The concert will feature selections by 

German composers Max Reger and Johann 

Sebastian Bach, colorful American works, 

and examples of the French 20th century 

tradition. 

The audience will experience not only the 

pipe organ’s tonal range, but also its mocking 

bird side. 

“There are stops that mimic sounds in an 

orchestra—flutes, trumpets, oboes—and there 

are an infinite number of possible combinations 

in ensemble,” Schreffler said. 

The concert is slated to last approximately 

an hour and 15 minutes. For more 

information, call First United Methodist 

Church of London at (740) 852-0462.

The middle school version of “The Addams 

Family” musical is hot off the press, 

and London Middle School is taking it out 

for a spin. 

“There’s a new company getting into the 

middle school musical thing, and this is 

brand new from them,” said Director Tim 

Tanner. “We have a lot of students this year 

who make a good fit for the characters.” 

Performances of “The Addams Family: Young @ Part” are set for 

7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 and Saturday, Oct. 27 in the Joyce Hildebrand 

Auditorium at London High School, 336 Elm St. Admission is $5. 

“We usually do our shows right before Thanksgiving, but we 

moved the dates this year due to scheduling conflicts with other activities 

at the school,” Tanner said. “It’s just happenstance we’re 

Halloween Cabaret in West Jeff 

Be prepared for an evening with 

many more treats than tricks. 

Jefferson Local Schools vocal director 

Rachel Armas has once again assembled 

a hauntingly talented group of students 

to present the school’s annual Halloween 

Cabaret Night. The event takes place on 

Oct. 25 at West Jefferson High School, 1 

Roughrider Dr., West Jefferson. 

A chili dinner (chili, cornbread, 

dessert and drinks) begins at 6 p.m. and 

is $5. The free cabaret performance begins 

at 6:30 p.m. A costume contest is 

planned for all children ages through 

high school. To enter chili in the cook-off, 

contact Armas at rarmas@westjeff.org. 

The event is a fundraiser for the high 

school and middle school choir programs. 

The cabaret performers hail from 

sixth through 12th grade. Students were 

selected through an audition process. 

Singing and dancing are on the agenda. 

Among the performers are Alexa Bogenrife, 

Santino Carnevale, Michael 

Catapano, Nathaniel Dersom, Nicole 

Evans, Celina Jeffers, Erica Lewis, Nick 

McGlothlin, Hannah Messer, Ivie 

Nicholas, Brianna Russell, Loraine 

Stone, Isabel Swindall and Aleithia Wilson. 

The high school’s Chamber Singers 

and Concert Choir are performing, as 

well.

out later this year on Bigger Picture 

Records. 

Diffie has won a Grammy, several CMA 

awards, and was named Humanitarian of 

the Year by the County Music Broadcasters. 

Opening act Jimmie Allen is starting to 

make a name for himself on the country 

music scene. After “Blue Jean Baby,” a song 

on his debut self-titled EP, became a viral 

hit on the digital streaming service Spotify, 

Allen landed on nearly every “Ones to 

Watch” list going into 2018.

putting on a spooky show right at the exact 

perfect time.” 

The family at the center of the plot is 

atypical, to put it mildly. The Addams clan 

is fond of all things dark, gruesome and 

strange which makes for an interesting 

evening when the daughter invites her new 

boyfriend and his parents over for dinner. 

“The story plays on how oddly the Addams 

family looks at life but how they still 

have a tremendous love for one another as a family,” Tanner said. 

Josh Lickliter and Evie Gillilan play the parents, Gomez and 

Morticia Addams. Gabi Wolverton holds the role of Wednesday, the 

lovestruck daughter. Lily Beyer appears as Uncle Fester, while Anthony 

Holfinger plays Wednesday’s older brother, Pugsley. 

A total of 32 students make up the cast, while six students make 

up the stage crew. 

Among the students performing in the Halloween Cabaret Night Oct. 

25 at West Jefferson High School are: (front) Santino Carnevale; (second 

row, from left) Alexa Bogenrife, Aleithia Wilson, Brianna Russell,

was made into a music video. Other tunes from the album range 

from the dance-worthy “American Heartbreaker” and “Make Me 

Want To” to the more introspective “Wait For It” and “High Life.” 

The Diffie/Allen concert is the first in what presenter Reagans 

Productions hopes will be a regular event, bringing country music 

acts to the Madison County Fairgrounds twice a year. 

Reagans Productions is a collaboration between friends and 

Madison County residents Matt Mason and Cory Coburn. Their 

aim is to bring family-friendly entertainment to the county while 

showcasing the facilities at the fairgrounds. Additionally, several 

local non-profits are lending a hand with everything from parking 

to clean-up as a way to raise funds for their organizations. 

Tickets to the Nov. 16 concert are $35. They can be purchased

Remembering WJ’s John Kile 

On Oct. 12, the Jefferson Local Schools 

football program honored the memory of 

John Kile by naming him the week’s honorary 

captain. 

Kile was a 1951 graduate of West Jefferson 

High School where he was a member of 

the football, basketball and track teams. He 

later went on to become the “Voice of the 

Roughriders,” announcing the football games 

for 45 years. He called his last game in 2002. 

Kile was inducted into the West Jefferson 

Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995. He was 

named “Fan of the Year” by the football program 

in 1964 and again in 2002. 

Kile served as emcee for many sports 

banquets at West Jefferson High School for 

almost half a century. He also served in 

service and leadership roles in the district, 

including in the West Jefferson Alumni Association 

and the Athletics Boosters. 

A staple of the West Jefferson and Madison 

County community, Kile served in civic 

leadership roles with Kiwanis, Rotary Club, 

the Chamber of Commerce and others. He 

also was a successful automotive salesman. 

He and his wife, Mary Lee, dedicated their 

lives to service to the community. 

Kile passed away on Sept. 29 after a 

short battle with cancer.

Oct. 12 in memory of Mary Lee’s husband, John Kile, who was 

known as “The Voice of the Roughriders.”


opinions 

ere will only be one ‘Voice of the Roughriders’ 

John Kile was not only my friend but also my mentor. 

After 45 years behind the microphone as the “Voice 

of the Roughriders,” he retired in 2002. At that time, he 

requested that I be the next announcer of the West Jefferson 

High School football games. Many people in town 

said that I replaced him and others have called me the 

“Voice of the Roughriders,” but first, you don’t replace a 

legend, and second, there will only be one “Voice of the 

Roughriders.” He will forever be known as the one and 

only. 

As I prepared for my first football game in 2002, I 

was very nervous. I found some 

football tapes and listened again 

as John made the announcements 

for each play. I wanted to 

continue his success, as well as add my own touch to the 

game. My dad told me to speak slowly. The first few 

games, I spoke almost too slowly but learned as time 

went on. 

John told me several times that there are some 

things you don’t announce. One is the score. He told me 

that’s what the scoreboard is for. Second is to never announce 

who fumbled the ball or threw the interception, 

because the player knew, his mother knew and his girlfriend 

knew. If the crowd missed it, they didn’t need to 

know. 

As I stood beside John in the press box for about 15 

years as his spotter, I was amazed that while he was 

talking he was listening to me for the runner, the tackler 

and yards gained. He was listening to Mark 

Pelphrey for the down and distance for a first down. He 

also was writing down the stats as he kept the official 

stats for many years. It still amazes me that he could 

do all of this in a matter of seconds. 

John also announced many parades in town and was 

the emcee for the queen pageants for the Ox Roast. 

Eventually, I took over for him with these tasks, as well. 

John always had a knack for adding a little extra to his 

announcing when he noticed someone he knew.

Association’s annual Senior Citizens Christmas

Party and, just like Santa, he knew everyone and included 

a personalized joke as he read each name. He 

also helped to auction off extra roasts at the Ox Roast. 

As I said, John also was a friend, a longtime friend. 

I remember many times going to the after-game parties 

with the gang—the Kiles, the Lovelesses, the Baldwins 

and the Pfeils. While enjoying food and drinks, they 

would replay the game then watch the scores of the 

other games played that night. On away games, they 

would always stop at a restaurant. Not only would they 

follow football but also basketball, college games and air 

shows. They would also take 

weekend trips together. 

I always looked forward to 

Wednesday morning sessions at 

McDonald’s when John would come in for biscuits and 

gravy and coffee. He would always say he needed to get 

to work, to make the popcorn, then stay another hour 

before leaving. John also enjoyed the Saturday morning 

pancake breakfasts at the Methodist Church. It seemed 

like we always sat at the same table when we went to 

alumni banquets, Christmas parties and football reunions. 

At the dealerships, John was always willing to stop 

and talk while work was being done on any of my vehicles. 

More times than not, Mary Lee would call and remind 

him to stop at the store on his way home. John 

was very proud of Mary Lee, his children and his grandchildren. 

John was an amazing man that I am going to miss 

but I feel blessed that I was able to know him. I am 

going to miss our talks and his stories, the history I 

learned from him and his jokes. I don’t know that I ever 

heard the same one twice. 

God bless you and rest in peace, John Kile.

Talent scout will offer 

advice at free lecture 

Renowned New York talent scout Peter 

Sklar knows a thing or two about helping 

aspiring child stars achieve success. His 

list of proteges includes television and film 

veterans Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese 

Witherspoon, Mischa Barton and a wide 

array of current Broadway, television and 

film actors, singers and dancers. 

Reality shows like “American Idol” and 

“America’s Got Talent” have 

springboarded some of the 

most talented kids in the nation 

to stardom, but with so 

much available talent, what 

really sets one kid apart from 

another? 

According to Sklar any career—in 

or out of the arts—is 

about two things: self-image 

and health. He argues that 

these qualities outweigh 

looks, training, connections 

and even talent, and apply 

universally. 

“The people who sit behind 

the table are trying to decide 

two things: do they like you 

and do they believe you,” 

Sklar tells young audiences. 

“If you don’t feel good about 

yourself mentally or physically, 

you won’t open up and

Peter Sklar, a New

and career advice

performers and their 

parents. 

show us who you really are. When that 

happens, no matter how smart you are or 

what you’ve achieved or what you look 

like, we’ve already lost interest... It’s about 

who you are as a human being.” 

In “Broadway & Beyond,” a lecture for 

students and their parents set for 7 p.m. 

Nov. 1 at London High School, Sklar will 

explain why his views are in sync with the 

needs of top New York and Hollywood 

agents and casting directors, as well as college 

admission boards and job interviewers 

in nearly all fields. 

Alluding to a dramatic rise in self-destructive 

behavior, such as smoking, 

drinking, drugs and eating disorders 

among so-called “happy” teens, Sklar marvels 

at how often these activities secretly 

coexist with good grades, good behavior 

and many other outward signs of stability. 

“The kids I interview are 

the smartest and most talented—the 

highest achievers 

in the nation,” Sklar said. 

“And they’re too often the 

most unhappy, unhealthy 

and least employable.” 

Sklar boasts an Ivy 

League pedigree (masters degree 

in education from Harvard 

University), formal 

training in concert piano 

(Juilliard School of Music), 

and five decades of professional 

experience. He’s had 

his work presented on the 

Bravo Channel, Good Morning 

America and every major 

national television network. 

He is developing an original 

musical based on his experiences, 

entitled “The Kid 

Who Played the Palace.” 

“Broadway & Beyond” is open to children, 

teens, young adults and parents. The 

lecture is free but reservations are required. 

No one under 7 years old will be 

admitted, with or without a parent. Students 

younger than 18 must attend with 

their mother or father.

Buckeye Ford is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program to the London 

community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for London High School. For every person who 

takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at Buckeye Ford on October 27, 2018, 

Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to London High School Girls Softball & Basketball 

programs. The funds will go towards help with funding their programs. 

“We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to 

help make sure these programs remain available,” said Howard Maynard, Fixed Operations 

Manager at Buckeye Ford. “We’re excited to raise money for the London High School Girls 

Softball & Basketball programs.” 

The event, which will be held from 10 AM to 2 PM October 27, 2018, will feature many

vehicle,” said Howard Maynard. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford 

vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive. 

To date, Ford dealerships across the United States have helped raised more than $35 million 

for local schools and non-profits thanks to their hard work and partnership with the Drive 4 

UR School and Drive 4 UR Community programs. 

To participate in this exciting event and get behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle 

please visit Buckeye Ford between 10 AM and 2 PM on October 27, 2018.

Unique opportunities for singers 



Calling all singers! 

London resident Teri Gray is amassing 

two huge choirs, one to sing the National 

Anthem at a Harlem Globetrotters show in 

Columbus and another to sing Handel’s 

“Messiah” at a church in Hilliard. Participation 

is open to youths and adults. Both 

performances are scheduled for December. 

Gray has taught vocal music in schools

and directed church choirs for 40 years. Her 

career has included stints at Madison- 

Plains Local Schools and London City 

Schools, as well as churches in Mount Sterling 

and London. Currently, she is a vocal 

coach at Westland High School and the traditional 

worship leader at Scioto Ridge 

United Methodist Church in Hilliard. 

Gray recently got a call from the Harlem 

Globetrotters requesting that the Scioto 

Ridge UMC choir sing the National Anthem 

at their 1 p.m. show on Dec. 30 at the Schottenstein 

Center. With permission from the 

church, Gray opened participation to anyone 

who is interested, especially anyone she 

has taught or directed during her career. 

“I’ve always wanted to get everyone together 

in one big choir but never thought I’d 

have a big enough venue. Now, I do!” she said. 

Gray’s goal is to assemble a 100-voice 

choir. The group will sing the anthem on the 

basketball court prior to the start of the 

show. The cost to participate is $21, which 

includes a seat to watch the show. All choir 

members will be seated together. If Gray 

gets at least 75 people to participate, the 

choir will be photographed with the Globetrotters 

at half-time. 

Gray has chosen a simple arrangement 

of the anthem and set two rehearsals–Oct. 

25 and Dec. 20. Both will take place from 

8:30 to 9 p.m. at Scioto Ridge UMC, 4343 

Dublin Road, Hilliard. She asks that anyone 

who wants to perform take part in at least 

one of the rehearsals. 

As if the Globetrotters gig wasn’t enough, 

Gray also is coordinating Scioto Ridge UMC’s 

annual performance of the Christmas portion 

of Handel’s “Messiah.” As with the Globetrotters 

opportunity, she welcomes participation 

from anyone who wants to sing. 

The performance is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 15. 

Rehearsals are taking place at the church. 

Participants are required to purchase their 

own copies of the “Messiah” (Schirmer edition). 

The rehearsal schedule is as follows: 

* Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Nov. 15 and Nov. 29– 

8:15-9 p.m.; 

* Nov. 20–7-8:30 p.m.; 

* Dec. 6–8:15-9:30 p.m.; 

* Dec. 13–7-9 p.m. (dress rehearsal). 

For more information about the Globetrotters 

performance or the “Messiah” performance,

Address changes for West Jeff Community Center 

By Sandi Latimer 

Staff Writer 

Visitors to the West Jefferson Community 

Center might think they’re not in 

Kansas, er, West Jefferson any more. 

The center, which has carried a Center 

Street address, now bears the address of 230 

Cemetery Road. 

The center’s front door faces Cemetery 

Road, rather than Center Street, said Mayor 

Ray Martin after the Oct. 15 village council 

meeting. By removing the gate between the 

nearby cemetery and the center, the village 

has made it possible for visitors to access 

the center from the cemetery road. 

This will be handy as area resident and 

West Jefferson parks and recreation director 

Marci Darlington presents a fundraising 

event at the center Oct. 24-27 to benefit 15 

non-profit agencies. The general public is invited 

to walk the Yellow Brick Road from 5 

to 9 p.m. Oct. 24-26 and noon to 8 p.m. Oct. 

27. On Oct. 27, activities include a flag-raising 

at 11:30 a.m., Trunk or Treat from 5 to 

obituaries 

7 p.m., and a showing of “The Wizard of Oz” 

at 8 p.m. Food will be available for a donation 

of nonperishable goods for the Good 

Samaritan Food Pantry. 

In business, council approved a proposed 

change to an ordinance concerning loitering. 

“We’re removing one sentence in the ordinance 

adopted in 1973,” council President 

Steve Johnston said. 

The removal of the sentence that “a person 

is guilty of loitering if the person loiters 

or stays in a public place for the purpose of 

begging” came at the suggestion of Law Director 

Michael Murray and brings the local 

law in line with Supreme Court decisions. 

Council’s next meeting will be held Nov. 

5. A public hearing will be held at the start 

of the meeting concerning zoning requests 

for the Sky Ranch and Project Maple properties.
