By: Timothy Kays THE REPORTER According to the National Weather Service Forecast Office in North Webster, Indiana, the month of July began and ended with a string of below normal temperatures, with the string at the end of the month being a record. There was a brief heat wave with high humidity in the middle of the month in which high temperatures reached the lower 90s, while low temperatures remained in the lower to middle 70s. The first four days of July experienced below normal average temperatures while six of the first seven days were at or below normal. The last nine days of July were below normal, with high temperatures below 80 degrees on the last eight days. This tied the July record for consecutive number of days with high temperatures below 80 degrees. The previous record was 8 ending on July 30 2004 and July 8 1924. There were a total of 17 days

this month with average temperatures below normal. A record low high temperature was set on the 28th when the high only reached 69 degrees. This broke the previous record of 71 set in 1969 and 1925. The heat wave began around July 14 and ended around the 19th. There were four days of temperatures at or above 90 with the hottest temperature of 92 occurring on July 16 and 18. It was also a very muggy period as dew points were generally in the lower to middle 70s. This allowed heat indices to climb into the upper 90s and lower 100s. The average monthly temperature at Fort Wayne was 72.2 degrees, which was 1.4 degrees below normal. This ranked as the 27th coldest July on record. The one week of heat and humidity in the middle of the month helped raise the overall average temperature. Although it was indeed cold for a July, it was not a record. July 2009 was the coolest July on record with an average monthly temperature of 68.9 degrees. The cold July temperatures were by no means a strictly local event. Over the last week of the month, over 1,100 record cold temperatures were set, compared with around 100 record warm temps over the same time frame. Being outnumbered more than ten to one did not sway the global warming gaggle, as they indicated that this was evidence of warming. This so-called 'warming' included the issuance of frost advisories in Minnesota. My grandfather used to tell me that when you hear the first cicada, it means that the first frost is six weeks away. He would have been scratching his head over
this one. Some of the more outstanding records were set on July 29. These records are listed by location, the new record temperature, and the date of the previous record... Centerville, IA 48 (1889) Iowa City, IA 48 (1889) Paris, IL 48.9 (1892) Effingham, IL 48.9 (1892) Oolitic, IN 48.9 (1862) Paoli, IN 50 (1892) Leitchfield, KY 48 (1889) Fairbury, NE 48 (1862 as Nebraska Territory) David City, NE 48.9 (1862 as Nebraska Territory) Ravenna, NE 50 (1868) Hillsboro, OH 48.9 (1889) Washington Court House, OH 52 (1892) Notice the three entries for Nebraska. The two broken records from 1862 were five years prior to Nebraska being admitted as the 37th state. Anyone with a sense of history knows that there were plenty of other things going on in 1862 other than cold temperatures. During the American Civil War, Union General Ambrose Burnside was defeated at the Battle of Fredericksburg; Generals Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman overcame a sorry start to rally the Union to victory at Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh); Generals McClellan and Lee battled to a near standstill at Antietam, and Admiral David Farragut and General Benjamin Butler captured New Orleans. A lot of history has taken place since those records were initially set...the Bessemer Converter revolutionizing the steel industry, the electrification of America by Westinghouse and Edison, and the assembly line innovation of Henry Ford to name a few. Precipitation for the month was 3.68 inches...0.56 inches below normal, making this the CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Wauseon City Council Decides Bike Path Not Part Of Park System
BIKE PATH ... In an effort to clarify and simply both bike path and park rules, members of the Wauseon City Council have officially decided that the bike path is not part of the park system. By: Chelsie Firestone THE REPORTER Members of the Wauseon City Council decided during their regular meeting on August 5 that the bike path that travels through the city is separate from the park system. The decision, which was unanimous came after some discussion brought on by the desire to codify park rules. Particular to the discussion was the park rule that prohibits dogs. During the discussion Council President Karen Krumm noted that if the bike path was considered part of the park system that the no dogs rule would apply to the bike path as well as the parks. Tom Hall also noted that dogs on a six foot leash are allowed along the rest of the 60 mile path that travels outside of the city limits and into Lucas County. Police Chief Keith Torbet explained that an exception could be made in regards to the bike path but Director of Law Thomas McWatters expressed that it may be easier and avoid other complications if the city designated the bike path as separate from the parks. After passage of the motion to separate the bike path from the park system, ...

Wauseon City Council Backs Application for TREX Liquor License

By: Chelsie Firestone THE REPORTER Speaking on behalf of Mario Estrada and his son, Martin Estrada, Glenn Grisdale informed Wauseon City Council about the Estradas need to for a letter of support to be sent by the mayor and law council to the Ohio Department of Commerce in order for the Estradas to obtain the need liquor license to continue forward with their opening of a billiard hall at 128 N. Fulton Street. Grisdale explained that Mario Estrada had previously informed the council about the opening of his business and that he and the Estradas have since found out that Wauseon already has their quota of liquor licenses. Grisdale then informed council that the TREX program allows for a license to be transferred from one county to another for purposes of economic development. Originally the Estradas had planned on operating with a D1 and D2 license. However, none were available at a reasonable purchase price. Instead the Estradas has found a business with a D5 and D6 license available for purchase in Lucas County. Once that business and license is purchased, the TREX program will allow Estrada to transfer all assets, including the liquor license, to Fulton County. The Estradas also explained to council that, while the D5 and D6 license would allow for carryout and Sunday sales, their business model has not changed. The intended hours of operation for the business will be from 4:00 PM to 1:00 AM Monday through Saturday. They will most likely be closed on Sundays. It was also explained that the Estradas have little to no interest in the extras that the D5 and D6 license would allow for. While the serving of alcohol will technically render them a bar, the main focus on the business will remain in billiards and hosting pool tournaments. Grisdale also went on to explain that because the TREX program deals with economic development the license stays with the project. If the Estradas business were to fail for any reason the license would revert back to Lucas County. He also explained that this process is different than the Revitalization District D5L license that requires a business to have 75% food sales. After listening to both Grisdale and the Estradas, council unanimously approved the motion to authorize the mayor to execute a letter of support to the Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Liquor Control on behalf of Mario Estrada for the TREX transfer of a D5/D6 liquor license from Lucas County for an economic development project. With this approval, Estrada will be allowed to submit a two page application to which he will attach the supporting letter from Mayor Shaw and/or Thomas McWatters, Director of Law. The state will then send back to the city a formal request of approval for the transfer of the liquor license. Once everything is received and approved from the state the matter will come back to council to undergo the normal consideration process. After hearing from the Estradas, council heard committee reports from the Finance Committee and the Utility Committee. Councilor Matthew spoke for the Finance Committee and reported that Jamie Giguere, Director of Finance, had reported back to the committee that there are no local companies who are certified to do industrial appraisals. Because of this and because it has been over ten years since Wauseons last appraisal, the committee recommended to council that they use the same company as they had prior, Industrial Appraisal Services, to complete the appraisal recommended by the auditor. The committees recommendation received unanimous support from council. Council President Karen Krumm reported on behalf of the Utility Committee that there is a piece of equipment currently up for bid from the Village of Paulding. Dennis Richardson asked the committees approval to submit a bid and the committees recommendation to council that his request be approved was also unanimously supported. Krumm also reported that there is a leak in one of the tanks at the Water Treatment Plant. Because of the leak, caused by the inability to regulate proper temperatures and the breakdown of insulation, the tank is losing CO2. Richardson noted that he has shopped for competitors but has only found one company that manufacturers the necessary parts and that the local representative from that company will be coming to fully diagnose the problem. Richardson also noted that if the tank needs replaced that the current lead time on a new tank is approximately 16 weeks. Krumm further noted that this 16 week lead time will put the purchase into the next budget year and that further discussion will be needed after the representative comes to look at the tank. Regional Planning Director David Wright also informed council that he has received notification from the Ohio Department of Development that the City of Wauseon did not receive approval for the Downtown Revitalization grant. He further explained that out of the 76 application submitted that only 29 were approved and awarded and that Wauseon might have ranked higher with more community service projects and ADA infrastructure upgrades. This is information that Wright hopes will be useful to the city when they prepare next years grant application. Police Chief Keith Torbet commented on the success of the Homecoming festivities and noted that there were only a few minor incidents. He also thanked the Public Works Department for their assistance and wishes to remind everyone that the Citizens Police Academy will be starting in the fall. Code Administrator Tom Hall updated council on the sidewalk project and informed them that the tree damaged sidewalks on sections of Vine, Cherry, Chestnut, and Leggett streets have been replaced. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson explained Resolution 201325 regarding the asphalt paving project with Fulton County for a portion of Linfoot Street that is within the city limits. The monies to pay for the citys portion will be coming from the permissive tax fund, which does not come out of the city limits. He also explained that he and Dave Murry have met with Peterman and Associates regarding the Linfoot street rebuild and presented them with questions and suggestion with the plans as they exist at this point. Councilor Stiriz asked during a later part of the meeting whether or not they will be putting sewer and water taps on the vacant lots on Linfoot street and noted that it would be a good idea to do so that the city will not have to cut up the road again at a later time. Richardson responded that the suggestion is something to look at but explained that they are not at the part of the planning yet. He also noted that the sanitary sewer line will be on the south side of the road. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere distributed both the financial reports for the month of July and the Income Tax Revenue report to council for their review. She also noted that the income tax is up 6% from last year and that the city is working within budget.

Barb Steckly of Bryan, served as master of ceremonies (Toastmaster) to conduct the meeting. All members presented short humorous stories with unexpected twists about cats, foreign languages, traveling, and skiing. Other members provided constructive suggestions, to make the presentations even more effective. Loretta Torres of Fayette, reported on the number of distracting sounds such as ah that were used during the meeting. Andy Lyke of Whitehouse, timed the speeches to limit saying too much. Conundrum was the challenge word of the day that members used in their presentations. It was provided by Larry Zuvers of Bryan. A conundrum is a situation that has no clear way to be resolved. Darlene Shepherd of Bryan, provided a general review of the flow of the meeting. President Rebecca Lovelass of Fayette, noted that the Defiance Toastmasters will attend the next meeting on August 19th. Rebecca also coordinated the table topics, where members commented on how to deal with a specific situation they were given or explain the function of an item pulled out of a sack.

63rd driest July on record. Measurable precipitation fell on eleven days, with seven days seeing a tenth of an inch or greater. There were two days with a half inch of rain or greater, and one day with an inch or more. The greatest 24-hour precipitation fell on July 10th when 1.25 inches was recorded at the KFWA observation station in Fort Wayne. July 10 brought more than just rainfall, as I will elaborate later. While July precipitation was below normal, the rainfall was well distributed over the month. The greatest number of days with no measurable precipitation was nine days between July 11 and July 19. The month began with at least a trace of rainfall on each day between July 1 and 10. July 10 saw severe thunderstorms developing across the area, some of which brought significant damage. Just after 1:30 on the afternoon of the tenth, a severe thunderstorm packing high winds downed trees and power lines in Bryan. The back end of the system was even more volatile. Unconfirmed reports of a funnel cloud just to the east of Edgerton were followed by the report of a derailment of a Norfolk Southern just west of Melbern. County Roads 7, 8 and 9 were shut down by the derailment, with County Road 7 being the first to clear. First responders

in Melbern were assisted by locals with chainsaws who helped clear out several downed trees in the village. Inspections of the nearby corn fields on County Road D showed evidence of strong straight-line winds, but no sign of any rotation. It was more than likely those winds that knocked several cars off the track during the derailment. No injuries resulted as a result of the storm. Looking ahead to August, the Climate Prediction Center sees a normal precipitation outlook for the area. Temperaturewise, the Great Lakes States will continue to see below normal temperatures, with a swath covering our area and ending in the Eastern Dakotas as being in a 40 percentile rank of likelihood for colder than normal temperatures.

McWatters also recommended that the Park Board review curfew hours regarding exemptions for such areas as the basketball courts and tennis courts. In response Councilor Chamberlin asked for an itemized list of all of the park rules from Chief Torbet, Tom Hall, or McWatters so that the Park Board could see everything that is being considered in the codifications of the rules. McWatters indicated that providing this information to the Park Board would not be a problem. Other matters brought before council included the first reading of Resolution 2013-25, Accepting the Bid Amount for Certain Improvements Under the Contract Between the Board of Commissioners of Fulton County and Gerking Paving, Inc. The resolution was declared an emergency by council, passed upon reading, and is now in effect. Second readings were

Uphill Both Ways: The Realities Of Bus & Walking Safety Today
By: Storm Humbert THE REPORTER Surely everyone has noticed that almost nobody walks to school anymore. In fact, over the last thirty years there has been a staggering shift towards car drop-offs and bussing service away from walking. In fact, thirty years ago, 66% of students walked or rode their bikes to school; now, only 13% do so. The main reason for this is urban sprawl (which refers to the tendency of both metropolitan and, now, even suburban areas to employ complex patterns of land use, transportation, and social and economic developments). One of the chief consequences of this modern tendency is the decentralization of schools. It is for this reason (the reason of distance and safety) that most parents have abandoned the idea of sending their children to school on foot, and opted, instead, to saddle the schools with the expensive operation of bussing for their often ever-growing districts. While walking seems to be becoming less and less an option for todays students, there are people and programs out there looking to do something about it. For example, programs like the Safe Routes to School Program, a great example of which is in Marin County, California seek to promote walking and biking to school by way of, identifying and creating safe routes to schools and encouraging community wide involvement. Most such programs highly encourage utilizing the most direct routes to school and those with the fewest unmonitored crosswalks. Programs like this have seen significant results. The Marin County program, for example, saw an increase in school trips made by walking by 64%, those made by bike by 114%, carpooling by 91%, and a decrease in private vehicles carrying only one student by 39%. The federal government makes approximately $180 million available to each states Department of Transportation each year for the purpose of starting and maintaining such programs. So, if youd like to make walking to school more of a reality in your area, just get in touch with your Department of Transportation and get the ball rolling. Many people dont mind the sprawl. They see no loss in not being able to walk everywhere. And, when it comes to getting kids to school, why not; according to safekids.org, school busses are the safest means of motorized transportation for getting kids to and from school, and approximately 26 million primary and secondary school students ride the bus every day. While this is a safe and, mostly, convenient way for parents to send their children to school, it comes at a price, and that price is a significant chunk of most schools budgets. The United States spends an average of 17.5 billion dollars every year bussing students. This works out to about $692 per student. So, while we may not necessarily miss walking to and from school, just imagine the things schools could do if they could sell a few busses or use a couple hundred fewer gallons of gas. So, the pros and cons go down like this. Walking and biking are cheaper and healthier, while bussing is generally considered safer (for the moment) and more convenient. It really comes down to values. Do we value making walking to school a viable option by making it safe, by investing in it as a community? Do we value putting money into the education of students by making them hoof it to school, get some exercise, and cut the budget and the environment a break so that their lives can be enriched in other ways? Would we be willing to pay more crossing guards if it meant fewer bus drivers and gallons of gas? Would we try it to see what money it can save; to see what possibilities it could make available to students?

...Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. There, too, the people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority. Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demonan evil spiritbegan shouting at Jesus, Go away! Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you arethe Holy One of God! Jesus cut him short. Be quiet! Come out of the man, he ordered. At that, the demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it came out of him without hurting him further. Amazed, the people exclaimed, What authority and power this mans words possess! Even evil spirits obey him, and they flee at his command! The news about Jesus spread through every village in the entire region. Luke 4:31-37 It seems that today we dont give respect and honor to those in authority, as we should. Where is the yes, sir and yes, maam that is due to our elders? When a coach gives a command, do our players obey? When our teachers give an assignment, do our students complete the task? When our employers give us instructions, do we focus or grumble? How many times do we witness athletes and coaches yelling, complaining, and disrespecting umpires and referees? Its too common today to see parents yelling disrespectful and venomous comments to those officiating sporting games. We may not agree with their calls, but they are in a position of authority. When we read the Bible do we view Gods Word as enlightening or as commands to be obeyed? Do we really know who Jesus is? Do you really understand his power and authority? In Luke 4, Jesus comes to town and goes to the synagogue to teach. First of all, notice that he attends regularly. To be a part of a church family is crucial to our spiritual growth. To think we are good enough to skip church, and yet Jesus went every Sabbath, makes me believe we are missing something here. Second of all, can you imagine showing up at church and Jesus walks in to preach? That would be awesome! More importantly, notice in this passage that Jesus teaches, and he teaches with authority! The people are amazed at how he taught. One Sabbath as Jesus is teaching, a man possessed by a demon begins to shout back at Jesus! That is creepy! But what is even more disturbing is that this man was in the synagogue! He may have been a regular attendee. Just because you are at church doesnt make you holy! Check out what this demon possessed man says. I know who you arethe Holy One of God! The demons know that Jesus is the Holy One of God! The demons know the power of Gods Son, Jesus Christ! The demons fear Jesus and know that He interferes with their evil intentions! The demons know about His incredible Holy and destructive power! The demons know the authority of Jesus and tremble! Do we? Jesus is more than a nice picture on a wall and He is more than just your friend. Jesus is the Holy, Mighty, and Powerful Son of God! His authority is to be respected and revered! Just as we need to learn to respect our authority figures on earth parents, coaches, officials, employerswe should give even more honor and respect to our Savior Jesus Christ! Our actions, our worship, and our life is a direct reflection of our daily respect and honor to great authority of Jesus Christ.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

WHO HAVE YOU STAYED WITH LATELY?
In 2009 ESPN aired a story about Dartanyon Crockett and Leroy Sutton, two high school students in inner city Cleveland. Crockett and Sutton were teammates on Lincoln West High Schools wrestling team. Crockett, who is legally blind, was often filmed carrying Sutton, a double leg amputee, on his back. The show was produced by Lisa Fenn, an ESPN veteran who had done stories about famous athletes like Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter. But when she finished the piece about Crockett and Sutton she couldnt leave their lives. Fenn took it upon herself to help the one with no legs, being carried by the one who could not see get to college. She raised donations from around the world, coordinated college visits, and ensured that the boys were well fed every day. Thanks to her efforts, Crockett became a bronze medalist in judo at the Paralympic Games in London; Sutton will become the first member of his family to graduate from college. After the media hoopla died down, Leroy Sutton quietly asked her, Why did you stay? She said, I love you. Sutton pressed, Thats what I thought youd say. But why why did you stick around and do everything you did? Lisa Fenn wrote: I grew up on the other side of Cleveland. The white side . My parents scrounged up the money for private school to protect me from the public schools and those people . But Dartanyon and Leroy eased me in graciously . They opened up about their strugglesDartanyon with great eagerness, as I think he had waited his entire life for someone to want to know him, to truly see him. Leroys revelations emerged more reluctantly. He had been emotionally abandoned too many times before . But both began to believe that, perhaps, I genuinely cared. I stayed because I would not be next on the list of people who walked out and over their trust . I stayed because we get only one life, and we dont truly live it until we give it away. I stayed because we can change the world only when we enter into anothers world. I stayed because I love you. With regard to reaching out to the most vulnerable in our midst the scriptures tell us in James 1:27 (NASB), 27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Fulton County Health Department Acknowledges Breastfeeding Awareness Month

August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month and this years theme Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers, highlights the importance of providing support to breastfeeding families and Fulton County has a lot to be proud of. Fulton County is rated 4th in the state for the number of women who have breastfed their infants. Infant feeding is one of the most important decisions the new families make. Evidence is clear that breastfeeding is the natural way to feed an infant. It provides the needed nutrients and antibodies that bolster the babys immune system, thereby lowering the risk for allergies, diarrhea, asthma and Sudden Infant Death. Mothers also benefit from breastfeeding with a decreased risk for breast and ovarian cancers and report losing weight faster. Despite these benefits, according to CDC Breastfeeding Report Card in 2012, only 62 % of Ohio babies are fed any breastmilk and 11% of these babies are breastfed exclusively for six months. The Surgeon General reports some key barriers to breastfeeding success are lack of knowledge, embarrassment, employment and child care, poor family and social support, health services and social norms. Ohio WIC is committed to helping moms achieve their breastfeeding goals. Over the last few years they have invested time and resources in the Breastfeeding program. Thirty eight International Board Certified Lactation Consultants were employed statewide to provide breastfeeding education and support. The number of Peer Helpers increased from 55 in 2009 to 182 in 2012. Breastfeeding initiation rates increased from 46.4% to 53%. Ohio is one of the few states in the nation that boasts a Peer Helper program in each of its 88 counties. Here in Fulton County, the WIC program has on staff one International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, four Certified Lactation Counselors and one Peer Helper. The entire WIC staff encourages and supports breastfeeding. The Peer Helpers main function is to counsel moms and provide education prenatally as well as follow-up support. This is accomplished through phone calls, breastfeeding classes, weight checks, distribution of pumps and facilitating our Moms Group. Our Moms Group is open to all moms and prenatal women, not just those enrolled in WIC. As a result of their efforts our initiation rate has jumped to 69 % and last year. Fulton County was rated 4th in the state for the number of women who have breastfed their infants. Despite Fulton Countys high state ranking of women who have breastfed their infants, increasing the amount of time a mom continues to breastfeeds remains our biggest challenge. Although the breastfeeding Peers provide a valuable service to their communities, it is crucial that breastfeeding moms receive support from families, friends, health care providers and employers in order to achieve their overall goal. For further information or assistance please feel free to contact Amy Clark, IBCLC or Lisa Johnson, Peer Helper at the WIC office-419 337-6979.

Former Wauseon Athletic Director & Coach Larry Fruth Is The Coach Of Local & National Legends
By: Timothy Kays THE REPORTER The old Baltimore Colts did themselves up proud in 1967. With the first overall pick in the draft, they took defensive end Bubba Smith. With the 45th overall pick in the second round, they took a hardhitting defensive back out of the University of Michigan, Richard Robert Volk. Just a little more than four years prior to being drafted by the Colts, Rick Volk was a heavily recruited product of the Wauseon Indians Football program, under the tutelage of then Head Coach, Larry Fruth. The work of Coach Fruth, refined by the legendary Bo Schembechler, produced a four-time All-Pro football player that also appeared in two Super Bowl games. Volk did not wait long to prove to the Colts brass that their confidence in him was well placed. In the Week #4 game against George Halas Chicago Bears on October 8, 1967, Volk intercepted a pass intended for Brian Piccolo at the Colts six and returned it 94 yards for a touchdown in what became a 24-3 Baltimore win. The pigskin prowess of Rick Volk is as well remembered in Tribe Town, as it is in Baltimore. As it took a team effort to put him into two Super Bowls, it took a team effort to mold an athletic kid from Wauseon into an eventual All-Pro. That team was headed up by longtime Tribe coach, Larry Fruth. A Napoleon High School graduate, Coach Fruth eventually married his fellow Wildcat classmate, Sharon. He said that working behind the scenes, she would eventually become the cement that turned the families of a high school coaching staff into a close-knit unit that remains close fifty years later. Before he came to Wauseon, Coach Fruth got his Bachelors degree from Bowling Green State University, where he attended on a basketball scholarship. He received his Masters from Indiana University, and did post-grad work at Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A versatile athlete in his own right, Coach Fruth played baseball while stationed at Fort Ritchie, Maryland. It was in 1956 that he faced off against the Brooklyn Dodgers All-Star hurler, Johnny Podres. Of his service, he said, It helped me. It helped me mature; I think it helped me become a coach. He also briefly coached the freshman basketball and the varsity baseball teams. Taking a teaching position in Wauseon, a young Larry Fruth was given the opportunity to coach the freshman football squad...a team that had Rick Volk as a member. Also serving as an assistant on the Varsity unit, he was surprised but not overwhelmed in 1960 when he was offered the Varsity head coaching position just two weeks prior to the start of the season. From there, Coach Fruth and his staff put together teams that not only specialized in defense...they wrote the book on it. In 1962, The Indians took their first NWOAL title under Coach Fruth. The team went on to either share or outright win the NWOAL championships in 1968, 1974, 1978 and 1979, also bring home the Northern Border League titles in 1969 and 1974. Eventually, Coach Fruth added yet another title to his rsum, that of Wauseon Athletic Director. While working with the freshman football team during his first year as a coach, that the measuring stick of Larry Fruth began to display the characteristics of someone who transcended the job description of coach, and took on the characteristics of mentor. I had a player that, during the first day of practice, threw a football, and his arm broke, he recounted. At those times, we didnt have a trainer like you do now; the coach was the trainer. There used to be a series for trainer information...courses that you would take. I got him registered for those courses, and made him a trainer. He never played football again, but hes now a doctor in Cleveland. These are things that you remember. Coach Fruth is not the only one who remembers...so do his former charges, and they have been vocal in their praise of their former coach. Ive been blessed, he said. A good job, with good kids...thats the nice thing about coaching. Its nice when they come back. About a year ago, a young man came back and brought his two older sons. He introduced them saying, This is the guy who saved my life. Once, I was sitting right here (on the front porch), and some guy came up that I didnt recognize. He was an internal specialist in Missouri. He was passing through on the Turnpike, but stopped and made sure that he saw me. Coach Fruths positive impact on his team members included Rick Volk. While introducing him as a new Wauseon Hall of Fame Inductee during a home basketball event, Coach Fruth was a little surprised when Volk detoured his path to include the scorers table where his former mentor was, recognizing Coach Fruths influence with a handshake in front of the Wauseon faithful. Even if their own homes may have lacked stability as they were growing up, tutelage under Coach Fruth for every one of his players provided for a steady anchor. Coach Fruth gives his wife Sharon the credit for taking his coaching staff and their families and turning them into a big, cohesive family, on and off the field. She started by working with the most overlooked and underappreciated part of the team, the coaches wives, bringing them together as close friends. That close friendship permeated the coaching staff through the wives, making the group more of a family than just a group of coaches and their wives. In the eyes of the kids, that tight bond was something that stood for reliability, longevity and trustworthiness. It was something that was rock solid back then, and despite the recent death of the architect of the record-setting defense, Keith Fritz, it remains just as strong today. Keith Fritz just passed away...he was with me about 23 years, Coach Fruth said. There was Steve Schneider, Roger Frazier, John Precht, Dave Moore and Charles Meyer. There were others, but these were the ones that were together for the longest period of time. They were outstanding people, and were still close together...wives and husbands. Coaching athletics is not an easy job by any stretch of the imagination; it takes a certain amount of skill and knowledge to produce a winner. When a coach can also double as an effective life coach, a player takes something away with them that lasts decades longer than when the scoreboard lights fade to black. That type of person cannot be trained to do the job; it is something that dwells deep within their character. That type of person is a rarity, and a pearl of great price that parents want working with their kids. While he was at the helm of the Tribe, Larry Fruth was just that type of coach, the kind that can teach the Xs and Os of the game, and of life. You wont hear him tooting his own horn about it though, which is no surprise. He doesnt have to though; it is evidenced through his wife and children. His former players do all the talking for him. One must have indeed held significant sway in order to be introduced to kids as ...the guy who saved my life. How many others he saved is open for speculation, but how many others on his teams whose lives Coach Fruth changed is not. That would be every one of them.
