New attractions<br />

at <strong>2022</strong> Ox Roast<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

The West Jefferson Ox Roast is celebrating its 71st anniversary.<br />

Even after all these years, the West Jefferson Community Association<br />

(WJCA) is coming up with new attractions for its signature event.<br />

Set for Sept. 3-5 at Garrette Park, the <strong>2022</strong> Ox Roast will offer<br />

a beer garden for the first time. The Jefferson Township Fire Department<br />

will operate the garden from mid-afternoon through the<br />

evening all three days of the festival.<br />

“We’ve talked about having a beer garden for several years and finally<br />

decided to add it this year. We’ll see how it goes and, hopefully,<br />

we can expand it in the future,” said Jeff Pfeil, WJCA president.<br />

West Jefferson’s parks and recreation department is bringing<br />

back an old tradition by hosting a dance at the Ox Roast. Adults<br />

and children are welcome. The dance shares the same theme as the<br />

parade, Hawaiian Luau. A deejay will provide the music.<br />

Speaking of music, several new-to-the-festival bands are taking<br />

the stage. Victorious KayBirds will play soul, rock, blues and more.<br />

Our Short Years played at a recent Friday Night Uptown event in<br />

West Jefferson; they will perform rock tunes from the 1990s and<br />

2000s at the Ox Roast. For What It’s Worth is another new addition<br />

to the lineup. The group plays music from across decades and genres,<br />

performing not only the hits but also B-sides and deep cuts.<br />

Stage entertainment also includes the return of the West Jefferson<br />

High School jazz band, MLC Project playing classic rhythm and<br />

blues, jazz, funk and rock, and escape artist Michael Griffin.<br />

A pie auction made its debut at last<br />

year’s festival. It went well enough last year<br />

that it’s back on the schedule this year. Proceeds<br />

benefit the Christmas party WJCA<br />

throws for senior citizens in the community.<br />

Kickstands up for Special Olympics<br />

The 4th Annual Special Olympics Tour for the Tigers poker run took place Aug. 20, starting and finishing at<br />

the <strong>Madison</strong> County Fairgrounds in London. The American Legion Riders Post 105 hosted the fundraiser to<br />

benefit <strong>Madison</strong> County’s Special Olympics athletes. With the call at noon for kickstands up, participants<br />

headed to Washington Court House for the first of four stops on the annual poker run before heading back<br />

to the fairgrounds for an evening of live music, food, raffles and contests. The poker run also included stops<br />

in Williamsport, Mount Sterling and Orient.<br />

the state, the groups perform multiple concerts<br />

each day of the fair.<br />

The experience starts days before the fair<br />

with band and choir members arriving at<br />

the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds<br />

for rehearsals. This year, band members put<br />

in four 10-hour days learning 80 songs;<br />

choir members put in six 12-hour days<br />

learning 40 songs. Then came the 12 days of<br />

the fair, July 27-Aug. 7, during which they<br />

performed for the public dozens of times.<br />

Through it all, the students stayed on site<br />

in dormitories at the Rhodes Center.<br />

“They get to spend over two weeks with<br />

like-minded kids, play a wide variety of<br />

music, play a lot, and get a best of the best<br />

experience,” said Elmer Broecker, West Jefferson<br />

High School’s band director. “Those<br />

kids are all there because they love to play<br />

and sing.”<br />

Clara Drummond, a junior this year, appreciated<br />

everything about it.<br />

“We’re a small school, so we don’t have a<br />

big music program. I saw this as an opportunity<br />

to have a very different experience<br />

singing with a lot of people who love singing<br />

as much as I do,” she said.<br />

Clara describes herself as an introvert.<br />

She said the time spent with 81 other young<br />

vocalists brought her out of her shell. She<br />

said she would recommend the adventure to<br />

anyone.<br />

“You learn a lot and make best friends<br />

for life. You learn more than just music—<br />

huge work ethic, how to make friends, and it’s like a<br />

trial run for college,” she explained. “I would do anything<br />

to do it again.”<br />

She has the chance to do that as students are eligible<br />

to apply through one year after they graduate from<br />

high school, something Graham Gardner has done.<br />

Graham, who graduated this past spring, has an<br />

interesting history with the All-Ohio State Fair Band.<br />

He was selected to participate each of the last three<br />

years but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, didn’t get<br />

the full experience until this year. In 2020, everything<br />

was virtual. Participants played to tracks at home,<br />

then organizers pulled together the different parts<br />

into a cohesive piece. In 2021, participants met in person<br />

for one day, rehearsing in the morning then giving<br />

a concert at a church in Columbus in the evening.<br />

“This year, I got two weeks to make friends and finally<br />

get that State Fair experience,” said Graham<br />

who plays baritone saxophone.<br />

Part of that experience were the shenanigans that<br />

happened among the 126 band members during downtime<br />

and back at the dormitories.<br />

“It got rowdy after lights-out,” said Brent Gardner,<br />

a junior who plays alto saxophone. He described cymbals<br />

getting kicked off beds and random sounds, like<br />

the Taco Bell bell tone, being broadcast over speakers<br />

in the middle of the night.<br />

Graham lost his voice three days into the experience<br />

due to his overzealous participation in the marching<br />

chants. Mathew Chmil, a sophomore who plays<br />

alto saxophone, counts nighttime hide-and-seek in the<br />

nearby Ohio Department of Natural Resources park<br />

as one of the memorable moments.<br />

Silliness aside, all four West Jefferson students<br />

came away with a feeling of camaraderie and respect<br />

for their fellow musicians.<br />

“All the people there had a lot of talent, and I was<br />

very happy to be a part of it,” Mathew said.<br />

though we had rain, it still made<br />

over $1,000,” Pfeil said.<br />

Festival organizers decided to<br />

stick with inflatables/bounce<br />

houses this year, rather than go<br />

back to traditional festival rides.<br />

They made the switch last year<br />

out of necessity when the ride<br />

company they hired went out of business before<br />

the festival.<br />

“We had quite a bit of success with the<br />

inflatables, and it’s cheaper for families and<br />

a lot less noise,” Pfeil said, noting that at<br />

Soil & Water banquet includes Procter Center tour<br />

The <strong>Madison</strong> Soil & Water Conservation District<br />

(SWCD) will hold an election for the district board of supervisors<br />

in conjunction with the district’s 75th Annual<br />

Banquet on Sept. 15 at the Procter Center, 11235 State<br />

Rte. 38 SE, London. Voting will be open from 5:30 to<br />

6:30 p.m., a tour of the Procter Center is set for 6 to 6:30,<br />

and the dinner starts at 6:30.<br />

The public is welcome to attend. Tickets to the banquet<br />

are $20 ($15 for children 10 and younger) and may<br />

be purchased from any board supervisor or at the district<br />

office, 831 U.S. Hwy. 42 NE, London, or online at<br />

madisonsoilandwater.com. Reservations are requested<br />

by Sept. 1. No tickets will be available at the door.<br />

Candidates in this year’s election are Nancy Denes-<br />

Sparks and Suellen Graumlich Radabaugh.<br />

Denes-Sparks, a resident of West Jefferson, has been<br />

a special education paraprofessional and job coach with<br />

Dublin City Schools for 22 years. In January, she took<br />

the position of attendance counselor. She grew up in Jefferson<br />

Township on her family tree farm, Denes Tree<br />

Farm. She served on West Jefferson village council from<br />

1994 to 1998. She volunteers with Sts. Simon and Jude<br />

Catholic Church, the West Jefferson Ox Roast and various<br />

organizations in the community. She also is a third<br />

generation 4-H family, with her oldest granddaughter<br />

taking a market goat and dairy feeder calf projects.<br />

Denes-Sparks believes that <strong>Madison</strong> County has always<br />

been a strong agricultural county and that with<br />

current growth, there is a great need to make sure natural<br />

resources are protected. Many areas of the country<br />

struggle to maintain and collect quality water, so we<br />

need to be good stewards of our water and land for future<br />

generations, she said. Denes-Sparks knows she<br />

would have a lot to learn as a member of the board and<br />

welcomes the challenge to serve <strong>Madison</strong> County.<br />

Radabaugh, a Mount Sterling resident, lives on a 97-<br />

acre farm. She has goats, chickens and other animals,<br />

as well as corn, soybeans and wheat. She was a teacher<br />

Homecoming in Lilly Chapel<br />

at Miami Trace High School from 1965 to 1991, where she taught<br />

biology and anatomy, as well as girls’ sports. She used to be on the<br />

scholarship committee for <strong>Madison</strong>-Plains.<br />

Radabaugh’s biggest concern is the health of the<br />

environment.Everyone makes decisions that can have a big impact<br />

on the health of the creeks, she said. Anything put on the land by a<br />

landscaping company, resident, farmer, etc., can wash off if not<br />

properly managed. She would like to support programs that help<br />

young people to be adequately exposed to these topics. She hopes to<br />

bring ideas to the group, listen to others, and get new kinds of programs<br />

implemented to address local concerns. She views the board<br />

as a team, and she would like to be a team player.<br />

To cast a vote, call or visit the <strong>Madison</strong> SWCD office, (740) 852-<br />

4003, to request an absentee ballot; vote at the <strong>Madison</strong> SWCD office<br />

during regular office hours through Sept. 20; or cast a ballot at<br />

the banquet on Sept. 15.<br />

During the banquet, retiring supervisor Howard Yoder will be<br />

recognized for 14 years of service. Denes Farms LLC will be honored<br />

as the Cooperator of the Year. West Jefferson High School will be<br />

recognized for having <strong>Madison</strong> County’s top ranked Envirothon<br />

team. A slideshow will honor <strong>Madison</strong> SWCD’s 75th year.<br />

The <strong>Madison</strong> SWCD, established in 1947, is a legal subdivision<br />

of state government that provides natural resource management<br />

assistance to county landowners and other units of local government.<br />

The district is funded by the <strong>Madison</strong> County commissioners.<br />

The Ohio Department of Agriculture supplements the county funds.<br />

The district is governed by a five-member board of county residents.<br />

Board members serve staggered, three-year terms.<br />

Grand marshal: Dr. Rohner<br />

By Kristy Zurbrick<br />

<strong>Madison</strong> Editor<br />

Dr. Ralph Rohner Jr. knows a thing or two<br />

about putting on an Ox Roast, just one of many<br />

reasons he has been named grand marshal of<br />

this year’s Ox Roast parade.<br />

Ralph’s history with the Labor Day weekend<br />

festival dates back to 1980, the year he and his<br />

wife, the late Karen Rohner, moved to West Jefferson.<br />

“We joined Sts. Simon & Jude Church where<br />

we met Rudy and Joan Denes who got us into the<br />

Community Association,” Rohner said.<br />

The West Jefferson Community Association<br />

hosts the Ox Roast, now in its 71st year. Ralph<br />

was elected to the group’s board of trustees in the<br />

fall of 1980 and remained on the board until<br />

2013. He served three years as president.<br />

During Ralph’s time on the board, the festival<br />

evolved as organizers added stage shows to the<br />

entertainment schedule, opened up space at Garrette<br />

Park for craft booths, and expanded vendor<br />

opportunities to commercial entities to complement<br />

the local groups who set up shop at the festival.<br />

While the cooking process for the famous Ox<br />

Roast sandwiches has remained the same—beef<br />

seasoned and wrapped in foil and set over coals<br />

in a long, in-ground trench to cook overnight—<br />

Ralph said a change was made back in the day<br />

to make the meat preparation a little more efficient.<br />

“We used to buy the meat on the bone, so we<br />

spent Sunday cutting it off the bone, trimming<br />

the fat, rolling it in spices and wrapping it in<br />

foil,” he recalled. “Then we moved to Falters<br />

(Fine Meats) who cut the meat off the bone for<br />

us.”<br />

The preparation process is still a herculean<br />

chore, but association members and other folks<br />

volunteer to get it—and the many other tasks it<br />

takes to put on the four-day festival—done.<br />

For many years, Ralph helped to man “The<br />

Big 6,” a gambling wheel, at the festival where<br />

the maximum bet was 25 cents. He and Karen<br />

also worked the bingo tent.<br />

“Oh, we had big prizes at the bingo tent. We<br />

gave out watermelons!” he said with a chuckle.<br />

Ralph cherishes the many friendships he<br />

made during his time with the community association<br />

and the many memories made at the Ox<br />

Roast.<br />

“Every year, when we closed up the festival<br />

on Monday night, it was a feeling of relief and accomplishment,”<br />

he said.<br />

The Ox Roast isn’t the only thing Ralph<br />

knows a thing or two about. He spent decades as<br />

an orthopedic surgery specialist, operating a private<br />

practice in Columbus from 1971 until his retirement<br />

on Dec. 31, 2020.<br />

Ralph was born in Columbus and raised in<br />

German Village in the house his great-grandparents<br />

built. He graduated from high school in<br />

<strong>Messenger</strong> photo by Kristy Zurbrick<br />

Dr. Ralph Rohner Jr., a longtime West Jefferson resident, will<br />

serve as grand marshal of this year’s Ox Roast parade.<br />

1956 and from Capital University with a degree in biology in<br />

1960.<br />

“I started as a physics major, but I was disenchanted with<br />

mechanical drawing, so I went into biology because I’ve always<br />

been interested in plants and animals,” he said.<br />

That interest remains strong to this day, as Ralph shares<br />

his home and property with three peacocks, two peahens, a<br />

rooster, eight chickens, three dogs, two cockatoos, two lovebirds,<br />

one canary, and a fox.<br />

Ralph considered going to veterinary school after college,<br />

but his father, who was in orthopedics, convinced him to go to<br />

medical school. Ralph did not plan to go into orthopedics, but<br />

he was assigned to a stint in that specialty his sophomore year<br />

at the Ohio State University (OSU) School of Medicine.<br />

“I don’t know if my dad had anything to do with that (assignment)<br />

or not, but I just stayed with it,” he said with another<br />

chuckle.<br />

While in medical school, Ralph worked as an extern at<br />

Riverside Methodist Hospital where he met Karen who was a<br />

student at Riverside’s White Cross School of Nursing. They exchanged<br />

vows in 1964, the same year Ralph graduated from<br />

OSU. Ralph served two years in the U.S. Air Force, and the<br />

couple raised four children, Ralph III, Laura, Marc, and<br />

Christopher. Ralph is now grandpa to five grandchildren, five<br />

step-grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and another<br />

great-grandchild on the way.<br />

Visitors to this year’s Ox Roast can watch and cheer for<br />

Ralph as he heads up the parade at noon on Sept. 3. The festival<br />

runs Sept. 3-5.

Queen cherishes reign<br />

Hello, everyone. My<br />

Donna Warner, thank<br />

name is Morgan Myers,<br />

and I’m the 2021 West Jefferson<br />

Ox Roast Queen.<br />

you for being my pageant<br />

director and encouraging<br />

me to start this journey,<br />

A year ago, I was<br />

along with Jeff Pfeil for<br />

crowned and started an<br />

amazing journey. My reign<br />

as queen was amazing, but<br />

I never knew how much it<br />

would end up meaning to<br />

me. From the videos and<br />

pictures with my queen best<br />

friend to “borrowing” decorations<br />

from luncheons, this<br />

is genuinely a year that will<br />

live with me forever.<br />

Being here today wouldn’t<br />

be possible without a few<br />

running the Ox Roast and<br />

giving us a festival that I<br />

was able to represent.<br />

To my court, there is<br />

something special about<br />

every single one of you. I<br />

was so scared going into<br />

this—afraid the kids wouldn’t<br />

like me or want to be<br />

with me. This couldn’t<br />

have been further from the<br />

truth. When life had me<br />

struggling and at my lowest<br />

point, the parades<br />

people, so I want to thank Morgan Myers<br />

them. To my amazing mom:<br />

where I got to see all of my<br />

you’ve always had a deeper understanding of<br />

who I am. You’ve always known that sometimes<br />

I need a reminder that I am beautiful,<br />

because sometimes I just don’t feel it. You<br />

would always offer that extra compliment to<br />

make me feel good about myself before walking<br />

out the door. I may have had the crown<br />

and the sash, but ,as everyone knows,you are<br />

“Queen Tiff,” and I simply wouldn’t have<br />

made it if I didn’t have you by my side.<br />

To my dad: thank you for being the ultimate<br />

pageant dad and standing by my side<br />

when I didn’t have the courage to do things.<br />

To my Aunt Kate and Uncle Lee: thank you<br />

for pulling the float and for taking me places<br />

when my mom couldn’t. We had the best<br />

times together, from Lee telling me I looked<br />

like the witch coming out of the well to the<br />

endless Dr. Peppers you’d buy me on car rides.<br />

I couldn’t have done it without you guys.<br />

Speaking for myself and the court, you guys<br />

did amazing stepping away from dirt drags<br />

and trucks to being the pageant family of<br />

any little girl’s dream. Of course. thank you<br />

to my grandparents for lending the truck<br />

when we needed it and watching me in parades,<br />

and to my sister for reminding me<br />

what she did as queen and how she “definitely”<br />

wore the crown better than I did.<br />

littles reminded me that even though I’m<br />

not perfect, they still loved me for who I am.<br />

You made me realize that maybe I am a<br />

kid’s person after all. You guys are the future<br />

of the Ox Roast, and I can say without<br />

a doubt it is in good hands.<br />

Just about every court has impacted me<br />

somehow, but I especially want to thank the<br />

Ashville 2021 queen, the 2021 Parade of the<br />

Hills court, and the Swiss court for the endless<br />

pictures, laughs, inside jokes, and memories<br />

we made together. Saying I came to love<br />

you as family would be an understatement.<br />

At this year’s festival, I will crown a new<br />

beautiful girl, and she will step in my place.<br />

Although I’ve been dreading this moment<br />

for all of the 365 days that I’ve had the<br />

honor of holding this title, I know you lovely<br />

ladies will care for her and teach her just as<br />

you did for me. At 16, I’m starting my senior<br />

year, hanging on to what feels like the end<br />

of my childhood. So, I want to leave with a<br />

quote from my favorite childhood TV show:<br />

“Why are you so sad? Because we’re saying<br />

goodbye, and that’s a really hard thing to<br />

do. So, say hello.”<br />

So, hello, everyone. My name is Morgan<br />

Myers, and I am and forever will be the 2021<br />

West Jefferson Ox Roast queen. Thank you.<br />
