Madison-Plains mourns loss of band director
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
The Madison-Plains Local School District
is mourning the loss of teacher and band director
Dan McCulloch who passed away the
morning of Sept. 1 as the result of a singlecar
traffic accident.
McCulloch, 37, had just started his second
year at Madison-Plains. He taught music
classes for grades 9-12 and directed the high
school’s marching band and concert band.
“Despite the fact that he had only been
here for a year, Dan’s care and concern for
our students, as well as his gentle disposition,
really won over our students,” said
Madison-Plains Superintendent Chad
Eisler on Sept. 2. “They had developed a
strong bond with him. Our students and our
staff are really hurting today.”
School counselors were available to talk
with students and staff on Sept. 1. Five grief
counselors with the Madison County Crisis
Response Team were available to students
and staff on Sept. 2.
“We will work to get through the coming
days together,” Eisler said.
In a Facebook post to the school community,
Eisler described McCulloch as a “wonderful
teacher and valued member” of the district.
“In the year that I’ve had the opportunity
to know Dan, it became clear to
me he had three great loves:
his family, his Houston Astros,
and the marching band,” Eisler
said.
In addition to his time at
Madison-Plains, McCulloch
served as a teacher at the Vanlue
and Ridgemont local school
districts. He graduated from
IH Kempner High School in
Sugar Land, Texas. In 2014, he earned a
bachelor’s degree in music education from
The Ohio State University where he played
trombone in the marching band.
Dan McCulloch
McCulloch was the son of
Timothy A. (Sharon) McCulloch
and the late Cynthia A. Brown.
He is survived by his grandmother,
Vergetta Allebach of
Upper Sandusky, his sister,
Leanne (Benjamin) Blankenship,
of Upper Sandusky, and
many nieces and nephews.
Visitation and a funeral
service took place on Sept. 8 at
Bringman Clark Funeral Home, Upper Sandusky.

City looks to build gym for youth sports programs
Grant would fund demolition of old building
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
London city leaders are looking into tearing
down the building currently used for
youth sports programs and replacing it with
a steel building at another location.
For years, the city has used the gymnasium
in the former
school building adjacent
to city hall on
Walnut Street for

youth basketball
and volleyball. Built
in 1913, the building
is deteriorating.
Earlier this year,
the Ohio Department
of Development
awarded the
city a $461,400
grant to demolish
the building.
“It’s well past its
prime, and urban
renewal needs to
take place. The
decay of that building
on this blighted
corner needs to
make way for new
opportunities,” said
Mayor Patrick Closser
at the Sept. 1
city council meeting.
“We have done
our due diligence on
this building, trying
to get it occupied or sold,” he continued. “We
have had many developers come in and,
after walking through the building, they
were not interested in the least, even if we
were willing to give it to them.”
The $461,400 grant will save the taxpayers
money, he added.
“If we were not able to secure this grant,
there is no doubt in my mind that within the
next five to 10 years that building would
still be empty and we would be forced to tear
it down at the city’s expense,” Closser said.
The state requires that the demolition be
completed by May 2023. The grant covers
the demolition, hauling of debris, filling of
the land, landscaping, and new sidewalks.
Closser reported that council member Andy
Hitt plans to bring forth legislation at the
Sept. 15 meeting to accept the grant and put
the demolition project out to bid.
In the meantime, city leaders are working
with an architect on plans for a steel
building to house youth sports. The basic
floor plan would give the city approximately
the same amount of gym floor space as it has
now in the old building. The new building
also would contain bathrooms, concession
stands, a small office, a storage room and a
mechanical room.
“We’re not looking to build the Taj Mahal
but a functional steel building gym so we
can continue to offer youth athletics and
continue to grow our programs while giving
the youth of this community something constructive
to do,” Closser said.
The proposed location for the building is

to the bus garage on the city hall campus.
That could change, Closser noted.
Once the initial drawings are complete,
the architects will come up with a cost estimate.
The city hopes to forge a private-public
partnership to cover the cost.
“We’re in talks with some local citizens
who may be willing to donate some money
to it. The money that can’t be covered by private
donations, the city likely would cover
through debt service,” Closser said.
He added, “We are in the initial steps of
this process but want to be transparent and
let the community know what we are looking
to do.”

West Jefferson park celebration set for Sept. 17
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
The village of West Jefferson aims to create
a “Saturday in the Park” atmosphere for
its celebration of the completion of major improvements
at Garrette Park.
Hotdogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, ice
cream, and a deejay are part of the plans for
the dedication set for 12 to 3 p.m. Sept. 17
at the park. Local and state officials and
supporters will be on hand. The public is invited
to attend.
“The improvements are the result of a
concerted effort by the whole village,” said
Mayor Ray Martin. “The dedication is a
chance to show appreciation for these new
amenities for the residents, and a chance for
residents to get to know their park.”
The improvements include new playground
equipment with all-inclusive features
for children of all ages and abilities, a new
shelter house, new picnic table pads, and
new sidewalks, landscaping, and fencing.
“The whole deal has changed. Nothing
from yesterday is there. It’s just a brand
new park, period,” Martin said.
Improvements also include two new
handicap parking spaces at the front of the
park. In cooperation with the West Jefferson
Community Association, owner of the
Ox Roast grounds adjacent to the park, the
village also increased the size of the gravel
parking area at the back of the park.
Most of the improvements were completed
last year with some finishing work
done this year. The total cost was approximately
$589,000. Senator Bob Hackett of
London helped the village to secure a capital
grant of $197,000 toward the cost. Battelle
Memorial Institute awarded the village a
$25,000 grant. The village covered the rest
of the cost.
West Jefferson’s ongoing efforts to upgrade
its parks shifted focus to Westwood
Park this year where several improvements
are in progress. Asphalt has been laid for a
tennis court, two pickleball courts and a
basketball court at Westwood Park. Next up
is installation of nets and poles.
“It’s a brand new basketball court. They
made it six feet wider than the previous one
so that you can have one full court or two
side-by-side half-courts,” Martin said.
Also going in at Westwood Park is a new
fenced-in playground located next to the
tennis court and parking lot. The new playground
equipment will sit on a rubberized
surface. Among the playground’s features
will be a merry-go-round that seats six with
three of the seats designed to accommodate
wheelchairs.
“It’s really cool,” Martin said about the
merry-go-round.
An obstacle course similar to the one installed
at Cowling Park in London will be
installed where the old playground was at
the park.
“There’s quite a bit going in over there. It
will be the crowning jewel of the neighborhood,
no doubt,” Martin said.
If all goes well, the improvements at
Westwood Park will be completed this fall.
The timing depends on manpower, delivery
of equipment, and weather, Martin noted.
Other projects on the radar for this year
or next year are restrooms and a new ninehole
disc golf course at Westwood Park.
Sometime in the future, the village also
would like to install walking paths at both
Westwood Park and Garrette Park.

London native writes book about exercise revolution
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Roger Reynolds, a London native, was an
integral part of a research-based outreach
that changed the way people around the
world think about exercise. The primary
message: Exercise is medicine.
Reynolds and two of his colleagues, Dr.
Tom Collingwood and Dr. John Poteet, have
co-authored a book—“Changing the World’s
Exercise Habits: A History of Dr. Kenneth
Cooper’s Fitness Missionaries” —about their
experiences as employees of the Cooper Aerobics
Center in Dallas, Texas.
“We spent our lives in this career and
think there are still people who don’t know
who Dr. Cooper is or what he did... It was
time for us to speak,” said Reynolds about
why he and his colleagues, all of whom are
now retired, decided to write the book.
Dr. Kenneth Cooper, often called the “Father
of Aerobics,” developed an exercise program
in the late 1960s based on a person’s
ability to distribute and use oxygen over
sustained exercise—in other words, the
body’s “aerobic” means of producing energy.
He created a points system that determined
how much exercise a person needs to
achieve a positive training effect.
He first applied the system as a lieutenant
colonel in the United States Air
Force where he was tasked with researching
the effects of exercise on the human
body and developing a new physical fitness
program for the Air Force. He then took
what he found to civilian life, writing books
and establishing the Cooper Aerobics Center.
In the process, he sparked an exercise
revolution.
The center is comprised of three parts—a
clinic, a fitness center, and an institute for
research and education. Cooper assembled
a team to help spread the word about the
positive impact an active lifestyle can have
on a person’s health and well-being. As employees
of the institute, Reynolds, Collingwood
and Poteet helped to head up that
effort.
“We called ourselves missionaries, with
our mission being to teach the world that exercise
is medicine,” Reynolds said during a
recent phone interview from his home in
Frisco, a suburb of Dallas. “We wanted people
to know there is a better way to treat
disease than to wait for disease—it’s wellness
and prevention.”
Reynolds’s path to a career in wellness
and fitness has its roots in his upbringing in
London, something he shares in the book.
He credits his mother, Dorothea, for being
the rock of the family—a single mother raising
four boys and instilling in them the
virtues of love, faith, sacrifice, hard work
and selflessness. Reynolds learned the concept
of teamwork as part of a family “working
together in order to survive.”
Reynolds and his brothers—Bob, Gary
and Dick—were active youngsters, and all of
them excelled in athletics. While a student
at London High School, Reynolds made his
mark in multiple sports and, upon graduating
in 1959, accepted a scholarship to play
football at Bowling Green State University.
His success there landed him a National
Football League (NFL) contract with the
New York Giants. In total, he spent eight
years in the NFL, playing for the Giants, the
Atlanta Falcons, and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Reynolds also served in the U.S. Army
as an infantry officer. While on active duty,
he served as the Ft. Benning sports and athletic
officer and was a captain on the Ft.
Benning Doughboy football team.
After his military service, Reynolds pursued
a master’s degree in exercise science at
Western Michigan University. It was during
this time that he made his first direct connection
with Cooper, requesting that Cooper
serve as his master’s thesis adviser.
“Dr. Cooper’s work had been very personal
and important to me, as I used his aerobic
point system while training as a
professional athlete. I was fascinated with
the structure and simplicity of the program,”
Reynolds writes in the book.
After spending time as a teacher and
coach at the high school and college levels,
Reynolds decided to pursue his passion for
helping children and adults become more
physically fit. He joined the staff of the National
Fitness Motivation Organization
which served as a springboard for his career.
Initially, his focus was corporate fitness
programs.
“I came up with the idea of going to corporations
to show the benefits of exercise as

a way to lower the risk of absenteeism, increase
production, and boost morale,” he
said.
Reynolds’s ideas took off in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan. He sold his
workplace fitness plan to business and industry
leaders. He was asked to speak at
conventions about his findings related to exercise
and lifestyle changes. He joined forces
with an expert in exercise physiology to develop
a new business, Human Performance
Systems, which enjoyed great success.
All the while, he was sharing his program
results and research data with
Cooper.
“The next and final step in my passionate
fitness career occurred when I was asked to
join the Cooper Aerobics Center staff,”
Reynolds writes in the book. “All the afore-
mentioned experiences provided a foundation,
especially for the concept of teamwork,
that I was able to bring to bear at the
Cooper Aerobics Center.”
Reynolds spent over three decades working
for the center. After retirement, he returned
to education as a substitute teacher
for grades K-12 at a private Christian school
in Dallas. He is now in his seventh year of
substitute teaching.
He continues to stay connected with the
Cooper Aerobics Center, helping with projects
on a voluntary basis at the institute
and clinic. He and his wife, Annette, celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary this
year. They maintain a daily exercise routine
and are the proud parents of four children
and proud grandparents of six grandchildren.
“Changing the World’s Exercise Habits:
A History of Dr. Kenneth Cooper’s Fitness
Missionaries” can be purchased through
Amazon and Barnes & Noble and is available
for checkout at London Public Library.
Reynolds will be visiting London the
weekend of Sept. 30-Oct. 1 to attend a
multi-class high school reunion. He plans to
introduce his book to his classmates at that
time.

West Jefferson Ox Roast

Messenger photos by Jeff Pfeil
The 71st Ox Roast took place Sept. 3-5 at Garrette Park in West Jefferson. Despite rain storms, the festival offered up a great time with
plenty of entertainment, inflatables, food, crafts, eating contests, and serving of the famous Ox Roast sandwiches.
The inflatable rides this year included a foam machine which proved to be very popular with children of all ages.
The first eating contest of the weekend featured pie. Contestants
had to eat the pie filling and crust to win the prize. Jaden Anderson
was very happy to place first.
(ABOVE) The Ox Roast pit, 120
feet long and 4 feet deep, is
dug then filled with wood each
year on Sunday morning for
the pit lighting. Despite a rain
shower right before the lighting,
the fire was lit only a few
minutes late to begin the
process of making a bed of
coals to roast 3,000 pounds of
beef to make the Ox Roast
sandwiches on Monday.
(AT LEFT) Winners of the Miss
Ox Roast contest are: (from

and Sarah Endicott, second attendant.
West Jefferson Mayor and Ox Roast Trustee Ray Martin hands an

Canada. Morasse has lived in Columbus for about 10 years and
had heard about the Ox Roast and the sandwiches. He wanted to
come out to try them.

Members of the Madison County Safe Communities Coalition gathered on Aug. 24 to kick off their annual “Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign.
Drive sober or get pulled over
Over Labor Day weekend, law enforcement in Madison
County participated in the “Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over” impaired driving awareness campaign
which sran from Aug. 17 through Sept. 5.
In support of the law enforcement community’s dedication
to protecting the lives of residents in their communities,
officers worked together over the holiday
weekend to take drunk drivers off the roads. These expanded
efforts to protect against impaired driving were
conducted in a fair and equitable way.
The Madison County Safe Communities Coalition
brought awareness to area residents during their annual
“Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” kickoff on Aug.
24 at the Madison County EMA office in London. Agencies
present at the event were Madison County Public
Health, Madison County Emergency Management
Agency, Madison County Sheriff’s Office, London Police
Department, West Jefferson Police Department, Plain
City Police Department, London Fire/EMS, Ohio SADD
and the West Jefferson Post of the State Highway Patrol.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), in 2020, 11,654 people were killed in motor
vehicle crashes that involved an alcohol-impaired
driver. On average, more than 10,000 people were killed
each year from 2016 to 2020, and one person was killed
in a drunk-driving crash every 45 minutes in 2020.
This is why Madison County Safe Communities is
working together with NHTSA to remind drivers that
drunk driving is not only illegal, it is a matter of life and
death. As you head out on the roads any time of year,
remember: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
“We want our community members to understand
that it’s our first priority to keep people safe,” said Sgt.
Jason Snodgrass. “This is an awareness effort to get the
message out that drunk driving is illegal and it takes
lives. Let’s make this a partnership between law enforcement
and drivers: Help us protect the community
and put an end to this senseless behavior.”
The Madison County Safe Communities Coalition
and NHTSA want to remind citizens of the many resources
available to get them home safely:
• It is never okay to drink and drive. Even if you’ve
had only one alcoholic beverage, designate a sober
driver or plan to use public transportation or a ride
service to get home safely.
• If you drink, call a taxi, a ride-hailing service, or a
sober friend
• Do you have a friend who is about to drink and
drive? Take the keys away and make arrangements to
get your friend home safely.

The Constitution is a testament to the
tenacity of Americans throughout history
to maintain their liberties, freedoms and
inalienable rights. The London DAR chapter
encourages everyone to focus on citizen
responsibilities for protecting and defending
the Constitution and to encourage the
study of the historical events which led to
the framing of the Constitution.

issuing proclamations for local recognition
of Constitution Week. Informational
posters are on display in city buildings,

A
energy and very intelligent. He is reported
to be house trained and crate trained, and
he loves milk bone treats.
Jack did well on his dog-to-dog testing
but was a bit on the bossy side when a
smaller dog tried to dominate a fellow playmate.
If you know about Jack’s breed, then
you know they tend to want to make everyone
mind and be polite. He knows how to sit
but would love to learn more training in a
home environment. Since Jack is of the
herding breed, the shelter staff is erring on
the side of caution and saying he should not
be placed in a home with cats or small animals;
he might be prone to chase them. The
staff would love for Jack to go to a home that
is on the calmer side, since that is what he
is used to, with a fenced yard where he can
burn off energy before coming inside to take
a nap with you.
He would be just fine in a home with
kids—he was around kids in his previous
home—but calmer, older kids may be best
due to his size and breed. The shelter staff
would love for this boy to go to owner(s) who
have previous experience with a breed of
this type. You won’t be disappointed when
you meet this loyal, loving boy.
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.
Marley
Marley is the
sweetest 4-year-old
kitty cat who was returned
to us in the
beginning of March
2022 after her previous
owner was no
longer able to care for
her. You will find
Marley roaming
around our cat adoption
room, and when
you enter the room, she will rouse and
prance up to you, looking for pets an attention.
She loves to use her scratch pads and
is a very well-behaved kitty. Sometimes she
gets scared of sudden, loud noises, but that’s
most cats.
The shelter staff feel she would do very
well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs
with time and slow, proper introductions. So
far, she seems to prefer female cats over
male cats. With as sweet as she is, the staff
also feels she would do well with kids who
know how to be respectful to animals and
won’t pull her fur or yank her tail. She may
be slow to come out of her shell in a new
home, but with time and patience, she will
become a great addition to a family. Come
meet Marley today and give her as many
pets and head scratches as your heart desires.
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.
