THIS IS A TIME WHERE OHIOANS

GREAT THINGS.
00:02:16WE WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON THAT
AS WE GO THROUGH THESE AWARDS.
00:02:19OHIOANS NEVER BACK AWAY FROM
WORK, JOBS, THIS OR THAT.
00:02:27THEY DO MORE THAN THEIR FAIR
SHARE OF THE LOAD.
00:02:32THEY TAKE IT ON.
WE DO AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT
00:02:36OF VOLUNTEER AND ADVOCACY WORK
AND SUCH LIKE THAT.
00:02:40ALSO AS OHIOANS, WE ARE KIND
OF A STIFF-NECK STUBBORN FOLK
00:02:44EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHICH
IS A GOOD THING.
00:02:48BUT THIS IS A GREAT TIME WHERE
WE GET TO HONOR ADVOCACY,
00:02:52FOLKS THAT HAVE COMMITMENT,
WORKED AT IT, TOILED AT IT ALL
00:02:56YEAR.

00:04:20PLEASURE OF JUMPING IN RIGHT
ON THE GROUND FLOOR WITH MANY
00:04:23OF THE LEADERS IN THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY HERE IN OHIO WHO
00:04:28HAVE BEEN REALLY KIND OF
TAKING THIS ON ON THEIR OWN.

BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND LET ME
00:04:43TELL YOU, IF THAT'S WHAT IT'S

00:05:06LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE B.

FROM CARDINAL HEALTH, PLEASE
00:13:12COME FORWARD AND LET'S GIVE
THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
00:13:13(APPLAUDING.
) >>GOOD AFTERNOON.
00:14:08MY NAME IS LESLIE PRITCHARD,
DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES.
00:14:13ON BEHALF OF CARDINAL HEALTH,
WE ARE SO PROUD TO BE A
00:14:16SPONSOR AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
RECOGNITION TODAY.
00:14:21THANK YOU.
(APPLAUDING.
00:14:31) >> IT IS AT THE STATE'S
PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE OUR
00:14:33GUEST OF HONOR.
I AM GOING TO TELL A QUICK
00:14:38STORY THAT I'M SURE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL NOT
00:14:40REMEMBER, SINCE IT WAS QUITE A
LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A
00:14:43VERY YOUNG MAN.
BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB
00:14:47WHEN I GOT OUT OF COLLEGE, AND
I WAS DOWN IN THE STATEHOUSE
00:14:52PARKING GARAGE, AS A MATTER OF
FACT.
00:14:54AT THE TIME, THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL WAS THE LIEUTENANT
00:14:56GOVERNOR.
AND I SAID, WHAT THE HECK, I'M
00:14:58ONLY 22, I MIGHT AS WELL TRY
TO GIVE HIM MY RESUME.
00:15:01MAYBE HE CAN HELP ME OR
SOMETHING.
00:15:04AT THE TIME, HE OBVIOUSLY HAD
A STACK OF THINGS HE WAS
00:15:08CARRYING, A VERY BUSY MAN, AS
YOU CAN IMAGINE.
00:15:11HE SAID, WELL -- HE HAD MARY
MERTZ WITH HIM, WHO IS NOW A
00:15:14GREAT FRIEND OF MINE.
I SAID, I'M JUST TRYING TO
00:15:17FIND SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A
CHANCE.
00:15:19HE SAID, I'VE GOT SOMEBODY WHO
I REALLY THINK A LOT OF I WANT
00:15:21YOU TO TALK TO, HE IS GENO
PERSICHETTI AT DYS.
00:15:25I WENT ON A BLIND INTERVIEW TO
GIVE MY RESUME.
00:15:30LO AND BEHOLD, I ENDED UP
WORKING THERE FOR 13 YEARS.
00:15:34INDIRECTLY, MR. ATTORNEY
GENERAL, I APPRECIATE YOUR
00:15:37HELP IN MY CAREER.
IN ADDITION TO RECOGNIZING OUR
00:15:41BUSINESS LEADERS TODAY, I
THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
00:15:45THAT THE MAN I'M ABOUT TO
INTRODUCE IS SOMEBODY WHO
00:15:49REALLY NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION,
BECAUSE HE IS A LEADER.
00:15:53A LOT OF TIMES, THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL IS FIRST MENTIONED
00:15:56ABOUT HOW TOUGH HE IS ON CRIME
AND HIS POLICIES.
00:16:00AND HE IS.
BUT HE TAKES PROBABLY MORE
00:16:05PRIDE THAT HE IS SUCH A
SUPPORTER WITH AMERICANS WITH
00:16:08DISABILITIES, VOTING FOR IT
WHEN HE WAS IN CONGRESS, ALSO
00:16:11BEING A STEADFAST SUPPORTER OF
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
00:16:15WHEN HE WAS IN THE SENATE.
AS A SENATOR, HE SPONSORED A
00:16:19CRIME VICTIMS WITH
DISABILITIES ACT.
00:16:22AND THE PURPOSE OF THAT WAS TO
INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF
00:16:25THE PLIGHT OF VICTIMS OF
CRIME, AND INDIVIDUALS WITH
00:16:28DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
IT WAS TO COLLECT DATA, TO
00:16:30MEASURE THE EXTENT OF THE
PROBLEM WITH CRIMES AGAINST
00:16:35INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES, WHICH HADN'T
00:16:39REALLY BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT
AT THAT TIME.
00:16:41IT ALSO DEVELOPED A BASIS TO
FIND NEW STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS
00:16:45THE SAFETY AND JUSTICE NEEDS
OF VICTIMS OF CRIME WHO ARE
00:16:48INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES.
00:16:52HE HAS CONTINUED TO PROTECT
VICTIMS, NOT ONLY THROUGH HIS
00:16:55WORK IN THE CONGRESS AND IN
THE SENATE, BUT THROUGH HIS
00:16:58NUMEROUS AWARDS FROM VICTIM
RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS, AND NOW
00:17:03AS HIS ROLE AS OHIO ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
00:17:09WITH ALL OF THOSE THINGS, I
WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO PUT YOUR
00:17:11HANDS TOGETHER TO WELCOME
ATTORNEY GENERAL MIKE DEWINE.
00:17:14(APPLAUDING.
) >> MR. MILLER, THANK YOU
00:17:26VERY MUCH FOR THAT KIND
INTRODUCTION.
00:17:27I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO
SAY I DROPPED YOUR RESUME
00:17:29ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER
PAPERS AND IT WAS NEVER SEEN
00:17:31AFTER THAT.
BUT THE STORY DOES HAVE A GOOD
00:17:33ENDING.
LET ME FIRST OF ALL INVITE ALL
00:17:37OF YOU TO CONTINUE TO EAT.
I THINK THERE'S STILL FOOD
00:17:43AROUND.
AS THE FATHER OF 8 CHILDREN, I
00:17:48AM USED TO TALKING WHEN THERE
IS A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND.
00:17:52I'M USED TO NO ONE PAYING ANY
ATTENTION AT ALL TO WHAT I
00:17:55SAY.
THAT GOES WITH BEING A FATHER.
00:17:58SO CONTINUE TO EAT, PLEASE.
IF YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DO
00:18:00SOMETHING WHILE I AM TALKING,
THAT'S OKAY.
00:18:02I WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE
OFFENDED AT ALL.
00:18:06LET ME THANK DIRECTOR MILLER
FOR HIS GREAT WORK AND HIS
00:18:10COLLEAGUES AT THE
REHABILITATION SERVICE
00:18:13COMMISSION FOR WHAT YOU ALL DO
FOR OHIOANS EVERY DAY.
00:18:15LET ME JUST THANK EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR YOUR
00:18:18PASSION, FOR YOUR COMMITMENT,
AND FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO.
00:18:21LET ME ALSO THANK THE
GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL ON PEOPLE
00:18:25WITH DISABILITIES FOR
TREMENDOUS WORK YOU DO.
00:18:28I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE
RETIRING, GOING OFF THE
00:18:31COMMISSION.
THANK YOU FOR THAT DEDICATION,
00:18:34AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU
DID FOR THE COUNCIL.
00:18:37LET ME ALSO ADD PERSONAL
CONGRATULATIONS.
00:18:40I SEE A FRIEND, TED CELESTE &
KEVIN BACON, ARE BEING HONORED
00:18:44AS LEGISLATORS OF THE YEAR.
THEIR COMMITMENT GOES WELL
00:18:47BEYOND THIS YEAR.
IT IS A LONG-STANDING
00:18:50COMMITMENT FOR BOTH OF THEM.
I CONGRATULATE THEM FOR THAT,
00:18:55AS WELL.
WE ARE HONORING SOME
00:18:57BUSINESSES HERE TODAY.
LET ME JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR
00:19:01COMMITMENT AND FOR YOUR WORK.
WE LOOK AT NATIONAL STATISTICS
00:19:06OF THE UNEMPLOYED.
AND IN OUR GENERAL POPULATION,
00:19:11IT IS A VERY SCARY THING.
WE SEE THOSE STATISTICS EVERY
00:19:13MONTH.
WHERE IT IS GENERALLY NOT
00:19:16REPORTED IN THE FIRST FRONT OF
THE NEWSPAPER IS WHAT
00:19:18EMPLOYMENT LEVEL IS OF PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES.
00:19:23THE FIGURES ARE STAGGERING.
AND THEY'RE VERY HURTFUL.
00:19:28REALLY WHAT IT IS IS FOR THOSE
WHO ARE NOT FULLY EMPLOYED,
00:19:32WANT TO BE EMPLOYED, WANT TO
DO THINGS WHO WANT TO MAKE A
00:19:36DIFFERENCE, IT IS VERY HURTFUL
FOR THEM AND VERY DIFFICULT.
00:19:40SO THANKS TO THE BUSINESSES
FOR REALLY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO
00:19:43LIVE UP TO THEIR POTENTIAL, TO
DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO EVERY
00:19:48SINGLE DAY.
SO I SALUTE THE BUSINESSES
00:19:51THAT ARE HELPING PEOPLE
UTILIZE THEIR SKILLS AND
00:19:55TALENTS SO THAT ALL OF US IN
SOCIETY ARE BENEFITTED BY
00:19:58THAT.
DURING THE COURSE OF MY PUBLIC
00:20:05SERVICE AS THE DIRECTOR
INDICATED TO YOU, I WORKED
00:20:09WITH MANY OF YOU.
I LOOK AROUND THIS ROOM AND I
00:20:13KIND OF CHUCKLE A LITTLE BIT
WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MY
00:20:17WORK IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES BACK IN THE
00:20:20'80S WITH THE AMERICANS WITH
DISABILITIES ACT.
00:20:23WE HAVE A FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO
WEREN'T EVEN BORN THEN.
00:20:26WE SORT OF TAKE THIS FOR
GRANTED, BUT WHAT WE FORGET,
00:20:30AND SOME OF YOU REMEMBER, ARE
OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER, WHAT
00:20:34SORT OF A REVOLUTIONARY THING
THIS WAS, WHAT AN UPHILL
00:20:37BATTLE THIS WAS FOR A LONG
TIME.
00:20:39WE HEAR ALL THE STORIES ABOUT
WHY IT COULDN'T -- IT JUST
00:20:42WOULDN'T WORK, IT COULDN'T
HAPPEN.
00:20:47AND SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE INVOLVED IN THAT EFFORT,
00:20:49THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
00:20:51THANK YOU FOR REALLY BEING
EYES AND EARS FOR THIS, AS
00:20:55WELL.
WHEN I WAS IN THE SENATE, AS
00:20:57THE DIRECTOR INDICATED, WE
CONTINUED TO WORK.
00:20:59WE WORKED ON THE CRIME VICTIMS
WITH DISABILITIES ACT, AS WELL
00:21:05AS THE CHIROPRACTIC VICTIMS
WITH DISABILITY AWARENESS ACT.
00:21:08THOSE WERE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION THAT, QUITE
00:21:10CANDIDLY, CAME FROM PEOPLE IN
OHIO.
00:21:12I WAS THE SPONSOR.
I WORKED ON THE SENATE FOR
00:21:15MANY OF YOU WHO CAME TO ME AND
SAID, THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE
00:21:19NEED TO REALLY BE DOING.
AS MY UNITED STATES SENATOR, I
00:21:23WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
I HAVE FOUND AS THE WISDOM IS
00:21:27USUALLY BACK AT THE STATE, AND
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN
00:21:31THESE ISSUES EVERY SINGLE DAY,
WHO HELP INFORM THOSE OF US
00:21:34WHO GO OFF TO WASHINGTON AND
WORK, THEY'RE NOT USUALLY OUR
00:21:39IDEA, FRANKLY.
THEY ARE YOUR IDEAS.
00:21:41SO THANK YOU FOR ANYBODY WHO
HAS OTHER IDEAS.
00:21:44WE HAVE A WHOLE BUILDING HERE
FULL OF LEGISLATORS WHO I'M
00:21:47SURE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO LISTEN TO YOU AND TALK WITH
00:21:50YOU ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO, AS
WELL AS OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN
00:21:53CONGRESS.
IT'S BEEN FUN BEING ATTORNEY
00:21:55GENERAL FOR A LOT OF REASONS,
BUT LET ME TELL YOU A COUPLE
00:21:58REASONS.
ONE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE
00:22:03ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES IS TO
KIND OF WARN PEOPLE ABOUT
00:22:05SCAMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, AS
WELL AS TRY TO PREPARE THESE
00:22:11CASES SO WE CAN SHIFT THEM
BACK TO THE PROSECUTORS, IN
00:22:14CASES WHERE THE SCAM IS SO
OUTRAGEOUS WHERE THEY CROSS
00:22:18THE LINE TO REALLY CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY.
00:22:22WE PUT A REAL EMPHASIS IN THAT
OFFICE SINCE I TOOK OFFICE
00:22:25REGARDING THAT.
WE GET ABOUT 32,000 COMPLAINTS
00:22:28EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
THEY'RE NOT ALL CRIMES,
00:22:32CERTAINLY, BUT THEY'RE
CONSUMER ISSUES.
00:22:36IN FACT, EARLIER THIS YEAR,
SCAM ARTISTS WERE USING THE
00:22:40RELAY SYSTEM FOR THE HEARING
IMPAIRED TO DEFRAUD OHIO
00:22:42CONSUMERS AND SMALL
BUSINESSES.
00:22:45MISUSING TECHNOLOGY INTENDED
TO HELP THE HEARING IMPAIRED
00:22:48IS REALLY UNCONSCIOUSBLE.
WE STEPPED UP OUR EFFORTS TO
00:22:52MAKE SURE THOSE WHO COMMIT
CRIMES LIKE THIS WERE, IN
00:22:55FACT, PROSECUTED ANOTHER AREA
WHERE WE ARE DIRECTLY
00:23:01INVOLVED, AND FRANKLY, IT
GIVES ME A LOT OF PERSONAL
00:23:03SATISFACTION, IS WE REPRESENT
THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION.
00:23:09SO WHEN ACTIONS ARE TAKEN BY
THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION,
00:23:13AND THEY HAVE TO GO TO COURT
AND BE LITIGATED IN COURT,
00:23:16WE'RE INVOLVED IN THAT.
OUR OFFICE IS INVOLVED IN
00:23:19THAT.
SO WHEN PEOPLE WITH
00:23:22DISABILITIES ARE BEING
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, WE ARE
00:23:25THE ONES WHO FILE THE ACTIONS
IF COURT.
00:23:28IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT STILL
TODAY, IN 2011, WE FIND CASES
00:23:33LIKE THIS.
BUT THEY DO.
00:23:35THEY'RE NOT THAT COMMON, BUT
THEY ARE OUT THERE.
00:23:38WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GET 6 INVOLVED IN THAT AS THE
00:23:42LAWYERS FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
COMMISSION.
00:23:46TODAY, I'M HONORED TO HELP
HONOR TWO MEMBERS OF THE LAW
00:23:52ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ALL
00:23:54FOR HONORING THEM, FOR ADDING
THESE AWARDS, BECAUSE I THINK
00:23:57THEY ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT.
LET ME AT THIS POINT ASK TWO
00:24:02INDIVIDUALS TO COME UP AND
HELP ME MAKE THESE AWARDS.
00:24:05CHIEF, DO YOU WANT TO COME ON
UP?
00:24:07CHIEF MICHAEL BARNESBAKER,
ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF
00:24:10POLICE, AS WELL AS MY FRIEND
TOM CHARLES, HIGHWAY
00:24:14DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
JOIN ME AT THE PODIUM NOW SO
00:24:20WE CAN MAKE THESE
PRESENTATIONS.
00:24:22TODAY, I AM HONORED AND
PLEASED TO HELP HONOR TWO LAW
00:24:25ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO HAVE
GONE REALLY ABOVE AND BEYOND
00:24:27THE CALL OF DUTY TO PROTECT
OHIO'S MOST VULNERABLE
00:24:30CITIZENS BY ENSURING THAT
DRIVERS WITH DISABILITIES HAVE
00:24:34ACCESS TO DESIGNATED PARKING
PLACES.
00:24:37KEEPING INELIGIBLE VEHICLES
OUT OF ACCESSIBLE PARKING IS
00:24:40NOT ONLY AN ACCESS ISSUE, IT
IS ALSO FRANKLY A SAFETY
00:24:46ISSUE, AS WELL.
OUR FIRST RECIPIENT IS TROOPER
00:24:48WILLIAM BOWERS FROM THE LIMA
POST OF THE OHIO STATE HIGHWAY
00:24:53PATROL.
EARLY IN 2010, AT THE COMBINED
00:24:57CAMPUS OF OHIO STATE
UNIVERSITY IN LIMA, ASKED FOR
00:25:01HELP BECAUSE INELIGIBLE
STUDENTS WERE PARKING IN THE
00:25:05SPOTS CLOSE TO THE FRONT DOORS
OF THE MAIN BUILDINGS.
00:25:09WHEN THESE SPOTS WERE FULL,
THE STUDENTS AND VISITORS WITH
00:25:12DISABILITIES WERE FORCED TO
PARK IN THE BACK OF THE
00:25:14PARKING LOT.
TROOPER BOWERS FIGURED THIS
00:25:17OUT, AND HE FIGURED OUT THE
TIME OF DAY THESE VIOLATIONS
00:25:20WERE TAKING PLACE, AND HE
ADJUSTED HIS SCHEDULE SO HE
00:25:24COULD CONTACT THE VIOLATORS
DIRECTLY.
00:25:28TROOPERS BOWERS CONFISCATED
PLACARDS THAT WERE BORROWED
00:25:31ILLEGALLY FROM FAMILY MEMBERS,
FRIENDS, AND WROTE CITATIONS,
00:25:37WARNING, 19 TALKED TO PEOPLE.
HE DID WHAT A GOOD LAW
00:25:42ENFORCEMENT OFFICER DOES.
TODAY, TROOPER BOWERS
00:25:45CONTINUES TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES HAVE A
00:25:47DESIGNATED PLACE TO PARK ON
THE LIMA CAMPUS.
00:25:50WE CONGRATULATE TROOPER
BOWERS, AND WE HAVE AN AWARD.
00:25:53(APPLAUDING.
) >> OUR SECOND RECIPIENT IS
00:26:20JIM DEIETRO, DEPUTY CHIEF OF
POLICE AT MIAMI TOWNSHIP.
00:26:25IN 2007, CHIEF DEVELOPED A
TRAFFIC PLAN TO HELP ADDRESS
00:26:31ISSUES OF HANDICAP PARKING AND
OTHER SAFETY ISSUES THAT WERE
00:26:34PARTICULARLY PROBLEMS DURING
HOLIDAY SEASONS, BUT INFORMING
00:26:38THE PUBLIC OF INCREASING
EFFORTS DURING THE HOLIDAY
00:26:42TIME.
DEPUTY CHIEF RAISED AWARENESS
00:26:45IN MIAMI TOWNSHIP OF TAKING A
PARKING PLACE WITHOUT A
00:26:47PARKING PLACARD WOULD BE ON

) >> FIRST OFF, I WOULD LIKE
00:27:41TO THANK THE COUNCIL DIRECTOR,
ATTORNEY GENERAL, ALL OF MY
00:27:45FRIENDS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT I
00:27:49WANTED TO DO IS REALLY JUST
HIGHLIGHT OUR PROGRAM,WHY IT'S
00:27:52BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL, IS BECAUSE
IT'S BEEN A PARTNERSHIP.
00:27:55IT'S BEEN A PARTNERSHIP, OF
COURSE, WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN
00:27:57OF THE MIAMITOWNSHIP POLICE
DEPARTMENT THAT TAKE THIS TYPE
00:28:01OF VIOLATION VERY SERIOUSLY.
ESPECIALLY WHEN ME, THE DEPUTY
00:28:05CHIEF, LEAVE THE COMFORTSOF MY
OFFICE TO GO DOWN AND WRITE A
00:28:09TICKET.
YOU WILL SEE MY NAME ON PLENTY
00:28:11OF THOSE CITATIONS BACK THERE.
BUT ALSO, TWO OTHER THINGS
00:28:15THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
WAS THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE
00:28:19HAVE WITH THE MEDIA.
CERTAINLY PUBLIC EDUCATION
00:28:21ASPECT OF THIS WAS HUGE.
OUR FRIENDS IN THE DAYTON
00:28:26MEDIA MARKET, I CERTAINLY
THANK THEM, AS WELL.
00:28:30AND THEN AS OUR JOURNEYS
FINDING ALL THESE DIFFERENT
00:28:32VARIATIONS OF HANDICAP
PLACARDS, I REALLY WANT TO
00:28:35RECOGNIZE A GOOD FRIEND, AND
THAT'S JAMIE BRYANT, ASSISTANT

OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE
00:28:42ENCOUNTERED SOME VERY
INTERESTING HANDICAP PLACARDS
00:28:46TO WHICH I NEED SOME TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE.
00:28:49AND JAMIE HAS BEEN SUCH THE
CHAMPION AND REALLY HELPED ME
00:28:51FIGURE OUT SOME THINGS.

ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON STATE
00:29:20PROPERTY, WE GET MORE INVOLVED
IN AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET

(APPLAUDING.
00:50:41) Scott Hinton>> NEXT WE ARE
GOING TO TRANSITION TO OUR
00:50:43YOUNGEST MEMBER.
THIS IS A STAND-UP TO BULLYING

IT WAS A STATEWIDE CALL FOR
00:50:50ART.
AND THIS IS RACHEL TRAXLER.
00:50:55(APPLAUDING.
) Scott Hinton>> EACH OF YOU
00:51:08HAVE A BOOKMARK, AND WE HAVE
EXTRAS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE
00:51:10MORE AT THE TABLE TO THE

00:51:14SHE IS A SEVENTH GRADE STUDENT

00:51:16SHE ENJOYS PLAYING BASKETBALL
AND SOCCER AND ENJOYING
00:51:18CREATING ARTWORK.
(APPLAUDING.
00:51:46) >> IT IS AN HONOR TO WIN
THIS.
00:51:48I DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT IT.
I'M VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THE
00:51:50NEWS.
I WANT TO THANK MY FAMILY FOR
00:51:52COMING HERE.
AND ALSO, ONE OF MY BEST
00:51:54FRIEND, HANNAH, WHO GOT ME
INTO THIS.
00:51:59I LIKE CREATING ART, AND I
HOPE THIS WAS A PERFECT CHANCE
00:52:01TO SHOW IT.
ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR
00:52:04VOTING FOR MY BOOKMARK.
(APPLAUDING.
00:52:14) Scott Hinton>> YOU COULDN'T
SEE IT, BUT RACHEL WAS
00:52:19ACTUALLY ON HER TIPPY TOES.
AND SHE'S GOT IT GOING ON,
00:52:21BECAUSE HER PHONE COVER
MATCHED HER OUTFIT PERFECTLY.
00:52:28WE THANK ONE OF OUR COUNCIL
MEMBERS, WE HAVE OUR ADOPTED
00:52:33SON, BABY JACK, AND RENEE
NEMETH COULD NOT BE HERE, BUT
00:52:39THROUGH JACK'S ORGANIZATION,
WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE A FUND TO
00:52:43RACHEL, WHICH I THINK IT MEANS
SHOPPING.
00:52:49YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE YOUR
FRIEND OR YOU MAY NOT.
00:52:51OKAY.
SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY
00:52:55LOOKING AT YOU, AREN'T THEY?
I SEE THAT.
00:52:57ALL RIGHT.
WHAT WE WILL DO IS MOVE
00:53:00TOWARDS OUR ADVOCACY AWARD.
WITH THIS, SINCE KITTY
00:53:03HEVENER, ONE OF OUR CHAIRS
WORKED SO CLOSELY WITH OUR
00:53:07AWARD WINNER, I AM GOING TO
HAVE KITTY COME UP.
00:53:10Kitty Hevener>> THE ADVOCACY
AWARD IS GIVEN TO SOMEONE OR A
00:53:34GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE
A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE LIVES
00:53:41OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY.
THEY'VE EITHER TAKEN THE
00:53:44INITIATIVE TO START A NEW
PROGRAM, OR CONTRIBUTE
00:53:49SIGNIFICANTLY TO AN EXISTING
PROGRAM BY CREATING PUBLIC
00:53:54AWARENESS OF THE NEEDS OF
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BY
00:53:59CREATING A PROJECT THAT CAN BE
DUPLICATED OR REPLICATED, AND
00:54:03ONE THAT ALSO IMPACTS LAWS
AFFECTING PEOPLE WITH
00:54:07DISABILITIES.
THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT IS
00:54:11SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE ALL OF
THAT, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE.
00:54:18OUR RECIPIENT THIS YEAR
STARTED A SPECIAL NEEDS
00:54:22REGISTRY FOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES.
00:54:25YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, THAT'S
NO BIG DEAL.
00:54:27THERE IS PLENTY OF THOSE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
00:54:30BUT THIS ONE IS UNIQUE.
IT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT IS
00:54:34CONNECTED WITH EMERGENCY
DISPATCH, SO NOT ONLY CAN
00:54:40EMERGENCY DISPATCH MAKE SURE
THAT THE PERSON WITH
00:54:46DISABILITY WHO CALLS AND
REQUESTS ASSISTANCE GETS
00:54:50APPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE IN A
TIMELY MANNER WITHOUT THAT
00:54:53INFORMATION BEING BROADCAST TO
THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE SYSTEM
00:54:59CAN ALSO ALERT REGISTRANTS TO
EMERGENCIES OR EVACUATION
00:55:06NEEDS IN THEIR AREA.
THAT MAKES IT A ONE OF A KIND,
00:55:11UNIQUE REGISTRY.
THE RECIPIENT OF THIS YEAR'S
00:55:16AWARD STARTED A REGISTRY BASED
ON A MEMBER HE HAD WITH
00:55:25LIBERTY TOWNSHIP.
BETH HANER CONTACTED HIM AND
00:55:31SAID, HEY, HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF MY SON WHO HAS
00:55:35A UNIQUE TYPE OF EPILEPSY?
IF YOU DO WHAT YOU NORMALLY
00:55:42DO, YOU'RE LIKELY TO KILL MY
SON.
00:55:45HE KIND OF WENT, THAT'S NOT
EXACTLY EMERGENCY SERVICE AT
00:55:47ITS FINEST.
FORTUNATELY, INSTEAD OF
00:55:52SAYING, OH, DON'T WORRY,
MA'AM, WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR
00:55:55YOU AND YOUR SON, THIS
RECIPIENT LISTENED.
00:56:00NOT ONLY DID HE ESTABLISH THE
REGISTRY IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP,
00:56:11BUT HE WENT ON TO EXPAND IT TO
DELAWARE COUNTY.
00:56:14WE'RE HOPING THAT IT WILL
EXPAND TO OTHER COUNTIES
00:56:17STATEWIDE, BECAUSE HE IS
WILLING TO HELP OTHER COUNTIES
00:56:20GET SOMETHING STARTED.
HE ALSO WORKS WITH THE
00:56:27GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL ON PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES.
00:56:31HE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN
HELPING US TRY TO OFFER
00:56:35DISABILITY AWARENESS TRAINING
FOR FIRST RESPONDERS ACROSS
00:56:39THE STATE.
HE CONTINUES WORKING WITH US
00:56:42IN SO MANY CAPACITIES.
THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT OF THE
00:56:49AWARD IS CAPTAIN WILLIAM
PIWTORAK.
00:56:55CAPTAIN, WOULD YOU PLEASE COME
UP?
00:56:57(APPLAUDING.
) CAPTAIN PIWTORAK, THIS IS A
00:57:30SMALL TOKEN OF OUR
APPRECIATION FOR ALL THAT YOU
00:57:33ARE DOING TO SAVE LIVES OF
OHIOANS WITH DISABILITIES.
00:57:36(APPLAUDING.
) >> FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO
00:58:08THANK THE COUNCIL FOR
RECOGNIZING THE WORK THAT
00:58:11PUBLIC SAFETY DOES EVERY DAY.
SHE DID TELL THE STORY OF BETH
00:58:14HAHNER, AND BETH IS IN THE
AUDIENCE TODAY.
00:58:17IF IT WASN'T FOR HER STRENGTH
TO COME TO ME AND EXPLAIN THE
00:58:22SITUATION, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO DEVELOP SOMETHING LIKE
00:58:25THIS.
THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS
00:58:28REGISTRY THAT IS AMAZING TO ME
IS THE COLLABORATION THAT
00:58:32OCCURRED THROUGH ALL OF THE
AGENCIES IN DELAWARE COUNTY.
00:58:35IT DID NOT RAISE A SINGLE WAY
OF TAKING MONEY.
00:58:41WE DID IT ALL WITHIN THE
CONFINES OF OUR BUDGETS.
00:58:43WE USED EXPERTS FROM EVERY
AGENCY TO DEVELOP THIS
00:58:49REGISTRY THAT HAS BEEN USED
WITH REMNANTS OF HURRICANE
00:58:56IKE.
WE USED IT WITH THE RECENT
00:59:01PROSPECT FLOODS UP IN DELAWARE
COUNTY.
00:59:05AND THERE IS NUMEROUS HOURS OF
TRAINING THAT HAS GONE ON TO
00:59:07ENHANCE OUR ABILITIES AS EMS
PROVIDERS FOR THE COUNTY.
00:59:10AGAIN, THANK YOU.
(APPLAUDING.
00:59:21) Scott Hinton>> I LIVE IN
DELAWARE COUNTY IN GENOA
00:59:23TOWNSHIP, JUST A LITTLE BIT
OVER FROM LIBERTY.
00:59:26I WAS COMPLIMENTING THEM ON
THE STATION AND EVERYTHING
00:59:29THEY HAD.
I LOOKED AT THE DATABASE, AND
00:59:32IT ACTUALLY HAD MY TWO
NEIGHBORS THAT NEEDED
00:59:36ASSISTANCE CORRECTLY LISTED,
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:59:40IT WAS GREAT EVEN A TOWNSHIP
OVER, WE HAD THAT EXPERTLY
00:59:43LISTED.
SOME OF THE AWARDS WE HAVE
00:59:46WITH LOVE AND APPRECIATION AND
HONORING THAT WE HAD
00:59:48THROUGHOUT, LARGE EMPLOYERS,
WE HAD BEST PRACTICES, WE HAVE
00:59:53THOSE.
THE ONES WE HAVE NOW ARE A
00:59:56SERIES OF ONE, OUR FIRST OF
THE YEAR, AND REALLY FIRST OF
01:00:01ITS EVER KIND, WAS THE
ENFORCEMENT AWARD.
01:00:04THAT'S THE FIRST THAT WE KNOW,
NATION-WIDE, OF AN AWARD LIKE
01:00:08THAT.
BUT THIS IS A FIRST OR US, AS
01:00:11WELL.
LEGISLATORS OF THE YEAR.
01:00:13WITH THAT, I WANTED TO BRING
OUR CHAIR OF THE GOVERNOR'S
01:00:16COUNCIL, ANALINE TODAY, TO
PRESENT LEGISLATOR OF THE
01:00:20YEAR.
Linda Oda>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
01:00:28THE FIRST PERSON WE ARE GOING
TO HONOR TODAY IS
01:00:31REPRESENTATIVE TED CELESTE.
I GOT TO KNOW REPRESENTATIVE
01:00:35CELESTE A COUPLE YEARS AGO
WHEN I DID ADVOCACY TRAINING.
01:00:38ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE WE
CALLED AND FIRST PERSON TO
01:00:41ACCEPT TO AGREE TO DO ADVOCACY
TRAINING WAS REPRESENTATIVE
01:00:45CELESTE.
IT WAS A SNOWY DAY, WE HAD SIX
01:00:48OR SEVEN INCHES OF SNOW THAT
SATURDAY MORNING.
01:00:50WE STILL HAD 20, 25 PEOPLE TO
SHOW UP.
01:00:53REPRESENTATIVE CELESTE WAS THE
FIRST PERSON THROUGH THE DOOR.
01:00:56HE HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIS
PASSION TO HELP PEOPLE WITH
01:00:59DISABILITIES.
AND I STILL HAVE A GOOD MEMORY
01:01:03OF WHEN REPRESENTATIVE CELESTE
WORKED WITH REPRESENTATIVE
01:01:08PETERSON TO PRESENT AUTISM
PAIRDY INSURANCE.
01:01:12WHILE THAT IS STILL A WORK IN
PROGRESS, I KNOW
01:01:17REPRESENTATIVE CELESTE TRULY
DESERVES THIS AWARD BECAUSE
01:01:20HE'S BEEN OUT IN FRONT FOR
MANY YEARS FOR PEOPLE WITH
01:01:22DISABILITIES.
HE REPRESENTS THE 24TH HOUSE
01:01:24DISIN THE OHIO HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES AND HAS
01:01:27DEDICATED MORE THAN 37 YEARS
OF HIS LIFE TO PUBLIC SERVICE
01:01:30EDUCATION OF BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT.
01:01:33WITH MORE THAN 29 OF THOSE
YEARS, HE SPENT IN THE 24TH
01:01:34DISTRICT, WHERE HE AND HIS
WIFE HAVE LIVED AND RAISED TWO
01:01:38DAUGHTERS, OPERATED
BUSINESSES, CREATED JOBS, AND
01:01:40SERVED AS LEADERS IF THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD OF GRANDVIEW
01:01:43HEIGHTS AND WITH THE OHIO
STATE UNIVERSITY.
01:01:47WITH A FAMILY TRADITION OF
PUBLIC SERVICE, REPRESENTATIVE
01:01:49CELESTE PROUDLY REPRESENTS THE
24TH DISTRICT IN PROVIDING
01:01:51LEADERSHIP AT THE STATEHOUSE,
BOLSTER ISES SCHOOLS AND
01:01:56UNIVERSITIES, PROTECT
ENVIRONMENT, AND PROVIDE
01:01:58HEALTH CARE FOR SCHOOLS AND
SENIORS.
01:02:03REPRESENTATIVE CELESTE?
(APPLAUDING.
01:02:50) >> I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL
THANKS TO THE GOVERNOR'S
01:02:53COUNCIL FOR THIS AWARD.
IT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME.
01:02:56I WANT TO MENTION THAT WE TALK
ABOUT ADVOCACY AND THE
01:03:01IMPORTANCE OF ADVOCACY.
I KNOW SENATOR BACON WILL ALSO
01:03:07AGREE THAT THE PRESENCE OF
ADVOCATES TELLING THEIR
01:03:11PERSONAL STORIES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
01:03:16THEY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ALL HERE
01:03:18IN THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE, HERE IN
THE STATEHOUSE.
01:03:21IT MAKES THAT STATEMENT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD
01:03:25LIKE TO MENTION IS THAT I MET
A YOUNG FELLOW HERE TODAY
01:03:30WHO'S ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING
THAT I HAVEN'T ACCOMPLISHED.
01:03:35I WROTE A BOOK SOME TIME AGO,
SENT IT OUT TO GET IT
01:03:39PUBLISHED AND GOT TURNED DOWN
ABOUT 20, 30, 40 TIMES.
01:03:46STILL TRYING TO GET IT
PUBLISHED.
01:03:49BUT ANDRE TRAVIS OVER HERE,
WHO WROTE A BOOK, AND SOME OF
01:03:52YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT, ANDRE'S
COME-BACK, HAS PUBLISHED A
01:03:56BOOK AND IT IS A PHENOMENAL
BOOK.
01:04:01I'M HOPING I CAN GET A COPY OF
IT.
01:04:04ANDRE, CONGRATULATIONS ON
GETTING THAT BOOK DONE.
01:04:06THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
(APPLAUDING.
01:04:16) Linda Oda>> OUR NEXT
RECIPIENT IS SENATOR KEVIN
01:04:18BACON.
AND I COULD DO THIS WITHOUT
01:04:20ANY CHEAT SHEETS WITH SENATOR
BACON BECAUSE I WORKED WITH
01:04:23SENATOR BACON FOR ABOUT THREE
YEARS TO GET A LAW PASSED THAT
01:04:25WOULD GIVE AUTISM ASSISTANCE
DOGS THE SAME RIGHTS AND
01:04:29REGULATIONS AS OTHER GUIDE
DOGS.
01:04:34AND WE DID THAT, WE CALL IT
DONNY'S LAW, AFTER MY SON.
01:04:36MY SON DONNY IS 14 AND
AUTISTIC.
01:04:39HE'S HAD A DOG WITH HIM IN
SCHOOL THAT'S HELPED BRING HIM
01:04:41OUT OF MELT-DOWNS, HELPED
TRANSITION FROM CLASS TO
01:04:44CLASS, SINCE HE WAS IN SECOND
GRADE.
01:04:47HE'S A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL
NOW.
01:04:50IT ALSO IS A SOCIAL
INTERACTION.
01:04:52AUTISTIC CHILDREN HAVE
DIFFICULTY, MANY OF THEM,
01:04:55INTERACTING WITH OTHER
CHILDREN.
01:04:57AND WE TEND TO DO THIS AS
ADULTS WITH PEOPLE WITH
01:05:00DISABILITIES.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR
01:05:03DO, SO WE DON'T DO ANYTHING.
WE TEND TO IGNORE PEOPLE.
01:05:05WHAT THE DOG DOES, IT GIVES AN
AVENUE FOR CHILDREN THAT WANT
01:05:08TO COME UP TO NATURALLY PET
THE DOG, AND THAT'S OKAY WITH
01:05:11AUTISM ASSISTANCE DOGS TO PET
THEM.
01:05:14THEY HAVE TO SAY HI TO MY SON
TO PET THE DOG.
01:05:17WE ALSO GIVE THE KIDS TREATS
TO GIVE THE DOG.
01:05:20SO IT IS A REAL SOCIAL -- IT
BREAKS A BARRIER.
01:05:26FOR THREE YEARS, SENATOR BACON
AND I WORKED ON GETTING THIS
01:05:29LEGISLATION PASSED.
I THOUGHT WHEN WE FIRST
01:05:32STARTED, WHO DOESN'T LIKE A
GOOD DOG STORY?
01:05:34SO THIS WAS GOING TO BE
SOMETHING EASY TO PASS IN THE
01:05:37GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
WELL, AS IT TURNS OUT, IT WAS
01:05:40A REALLY GOOD LESSON FOR ME,
BECAUSE NOTHING IS EASILY
01:05:42PASSED IN THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
01:05:45EVEN A CUTE LITTLE DOG STORY.
SO I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT
01:05:48WITH THE HELP OF SENATOR
BACON, IT WAS KIND OF SNUCK IN
01:05:52WITH HOUSE BILL 153, THE
BUDGET BILL, AND WAS PASSED IN
01:05:55JUNE.
YEAH, KEVIN.
01:05:59(APPLAUDING.
) WHILE I THINK THAT IN IT
01:06:04SELF IS ENOUGH REASON TO GET
SENATOR BACON THAT AWARD,
01:06:07THAT'S NOT THE ONLY REASON HE
IS GETTING THIS AWARD.
01:06:10I WILL GIVE YOU SOME
INFORMATION ABOUT SENATOR
01:06:14BACON.
HE WAS FIRST ELECTED INTO THE
01:06:16OHIO SENATE IN 2010 AFTER
SERVING TWO TERMS IN THE OHIO
01:06:19HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
IN THE OHIO GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
01:06:21SENATOR BACON HAS EARNED
RECOGNITION FOR HIS HARD WORK,
01:06:24ESPECIALLY ON ISSUES DESIGNED
TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF
01:06:27CHILDREN AND INDIVIDUALS WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS.
01:06:29HERE IN THE AUTISM SOCIETY OF
OHIO LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR
01:06:31AWARD IN 2007, THE ARC OF OHIO
FRESHMAN LEGISLATOR OF THE
01:06:36YEAR IN 2008, THE ASSOCIATION
OF COUNTY BOARDS OF MR/DD
01:06:40LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD
IN 2008, AND THE OHIO ACADEMY
01:06:43OF PEDIATRICS LEGISLATOR OF
THE YEAR IN 2008.
01:06:46SENATOR BACON RECEIVED HIS
BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN POLITICAL
01:06:50SCIENCE FROM MIAMI UNIVERSITY.
GO REDSKINS.
01:06:53AND HIS LAW DEGREE FROM
CAPITAL LAW SCHOOL, WHERE HE
01:06:57SERVED AS STUDENT BODY
PRESIDENT.
01:06:59HE HAS THREE DAUGHTERS,
REBECCA, EMMA, AND CATHERINE.
01:07:03THANK YOU.
(APPLAUDING.
01:07:12) >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, LINDA,
AND TO EVERYONE ON COUNCIL AND
01:07:49EVERYBODY HERE.
CONGRATULATIONS TO TED, AND
01:07:52CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY
ELSE WHO WON AWARDS TODAY.
01:07:54WHEN WE WORK ON AN ISSUE LIKE
THIS, WE NEVER EXPECT TO WIN
01:07:56AN AWARD, OR I NEVER DID.
SO THIS IS THE ICING ON THE
01:08:00CAKE.
IF ANY OF YOU KNOW ME, YOU
01:08:02KNOW I HAVE A LITTLE FEAR
ABOUT COMING TO AWARDS
01:08:04CEREMONIES.
IF YOU EVER HEARD ME TELL A
01:08:07STORY, WHEN I WAS AT CAPITAL
LAW SCHOOL, THERE WAS A
01:08:10REPRESENTATIVE OUT IN
CALIFORNIA FOR ALL OF THE LAW
01:08:13SCHOOLS WITH A CEREMONY LIKE
THIS.
01:08:18WE GOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE
AWARDS, I WAS AT CAPITAL LAW
01:08:24SCHOOL, WE WERE SEATED AT THE
BACK OF THE CONVENTION CENTER.
01:08:26IT IS 250 OTHER LAW SCHOOLS.
THEY GOT TO THE BIGGEST AWARD
01:08:31OF THE NIGHT, AND IT WAS THE
LAW SCHOOL OF THE YEAR AWARD,
01:08:34TO WHICH WE HEARD THE EMCEE
SAY CAPITAL UNIVERSITY.
01:08:37WE STOOD UP, AND WE CHEERED,
PUMPED OUR ARMS, MADE A BIG
01:08:40SCENE.
THEY SAID, KEVIN, GO GET AN
01:08:44AWARD.
I WALKED PAST EVERY LAW
01:08:46SCHOOL, KIND OF LIKE THIS,
DOING THIS, AND I WALKED UP ON
01:08:49THE STAGE AND THE EMCEE TURNED
HIS BACK AND HANDED IT TO
01:08:54SOMEBODY ELSE.
I SAID, WHO JUST WON THAT
01:08:57AWARD?
THEY SAID CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
01:09:05I ASSUME I'M IN THE RIGHT
PLACE, AM I NOT?
01:09:09SOMEBODY ELSE IS SUPPOSED TO
GET THIS AWARD, PLEASE COME UP
01:09:11NOW TO AVOID FURTHER
EMBARRASSMENT.
01:09:15THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE
01:09:17COMMENDED.
YOU ARE THE REAL AWARD
01:09:19RECIPIENTS HERE FOR ALL OF THE
HARD WORK YOU DO.
01:09:21MANY OF YOU WHO CARE
PASSIONATELY, WORK HARD, AND
01:09:23THERE AREN'T ENOUGH AWARDS ON
TO GO AROUND FOR ALL OF THE
01:09:25WORK THAT YOU DO.
AND I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
01:09:28AS LONG AS YOU KEEP FIGHTING,
I WILL KEEP FIGHTING.
01:09:31WE WILL CONTINUE TO GET THINGS
DONE.
01:09:33LEGISLATION IS A SLOW PROCESS.
IT IS AN INCREMENTAL PROCESS.
01:09:36WITH THE RIGHT PASSION AND
RIGHT ENERGY AND ALL OF YOUR
01:09:39HARD WORK, WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MAKE PROGRESS HERE IN THE
01:09:41STATE OF OHIO.
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I AM
01:09:44HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF
01:09:47YOU.
GOD BLESS.
01:09:49HAVE A NICE DAY.
(APPLAUDING.
01:10:02) Scott Hinton>> NEXT AWARDS
WE WILL TRANSITION TO KIND OF
01:10:04THE HEART SOUL.
WE ARE, OF COURSE, WHO
01:10:08RECOGNIZING OHIOANS FOR ALL OF
THE THINGS THEY'VE DONE, LARGE
01:10:11EMPLOYERS, BEST PRACTICES.
THESE ARE TWO FOLKS WE CAN'T
01:10:14HOLD A CANDLE TO.
MAUREEN FITZGERALD, KARLA
01:10:19LORTZ, THOSE ARE THE TWO
AWARDS COMING UP.
01:10:27THESE ARE FOLKS THAT -- WE
CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO.
01:10:30I'VE SAID THAT TO TO KARLA.
ALL WE DO, EVERYTHING WE DO
01:10:33FOR THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP FORUM
EACH YEAR IS IN SAKE OF,
01:10:40BASICALLY, MAUREEN AND BILL
BAUER.
01:10:47AND WE TRY OUR HARDEST AND OUR
BEST.
01:10:49BUT I KNOW FOR SURE WE WILL
NEVER HOLD A CANDLE.
01:10:55BRUCE IS HERE TO AWARD THE
MAUREEN FITZGERALD LEADERSHIP
01:10:57AWARD.
(APPLAUDING.
01:11:09) >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
THIS IS ALWAYS A LITTLE,
01:11:12UNFORTUNATELY, DIFFICULT.
I THINK BACK, MAUREEN AND I
01:11:15MET 41 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH.
AND WE WERE MARRIED FOR ALMOST
01:11:2136 YEARS.
I REMEMBER BACK -- I ALWAYS
01:11:28FEEL AN OBLIGATION TO EXPLAIN
WHO MAUREEN IS.
01:11:35BEAR WITH ME HERE.
ANYWAY, WE WERE IN GRADUATE
01:11:37SCHOOL TOGETHER.
SHE WAS STUDYING COUNSELING.
01:11:39I WAS IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY.
I REMEMBER WE WERE -- WE WOULD
01:11:42GO TO A LOCAL KIND OF HANG OUT
FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS.
01:11:47I WAS SITTING THERE, AND I HAD
KNOWN MAUREEN, WE HAD GONE OUT
01:11:50A FEW TIMES.
I SAT NEXT TO A FRIEND OF MINE
01:11:52AND I SAID, SOME DAY, I'M
GOING TO MARRY HER.
01:11:54LO AND BEHOLD, SHE ACCEPTED
AFTER A COUPLE YEARS OF
01:11:59DATING.
ANYWAY, MAUREEN PASSED AWAY
01:12:02FIVE YEARS AGO WITH BREAST
CANCER.
01:12:10MAUREEN'S MOTHER ALSO PASSED
AWAY FROM THE DISEASE WHEN
01:12:12MAUREEN WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD.
I WAS VERY WELCOMED INTO THAT
01:12:14FAMILY.
I AM FROM MASSILLON, OHIO, I
01:12:20AM AN ONLY CHILD.
MAUREEN WAS FROM BOSTON.
01:12:24IRISH CATHOLIC.
ONE OF EIGHT.
01:12:28VERY DYNAMIC, VERY
AGGRESSIVE, OUTGOING FAMILY.
01:12:32VERY PASSIONATE IN ALL THEIR
BELIEFS AND ALL OF THE THINGS
01:12:37THAT THEY DO.
UNFORTUNATELY, HER LIFE WAS
01:12:42CUT SHORT.
BUT I THINK DURING THAT TIME,
01:12:45SHE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CREATE SOME CHANGE, AND MAKE
01:12:50SOME IMPACT.
I KNOW SHE MADE ME A BETTER
01:12:56PERSON.
AND THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT I
01:12:59DON'T GO WITHOUT THINKING
ABOUT HER.
01:13:02SHE HELPED ME SURVIVE WHEN OUR
BOYS WERE TEENAGERS.
01:13:06ANYBODY WHO HAS TEENAGERS KNOW
HOW TRYING THAT CAN BE.
01:13:09OFTEN I TELL THEM NOW, I CAN'T
WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE CHILDREN
01:13:16AND YOU HAVE TEENAGERS.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE THAT LONG.
01:13:22GETTING BACK TO MAUREEN'S
STRENGTH AND WHAT SHE REALLY
01:13:27SAW.
SHE REALLY LOVED YOUNG PEOPLE.
01:13:34THE SHE SAW THEM -- OBVIOUSLY
AS WE ALL DO -- AS OUR FUTURE.
01:13:36BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WITH HER
WORK WITH THE DISABILITY
01:13:42COMMUNITY, SHE REALIZED THAT
OFTENTIMES WITHIN THE
01:13:46DISABILITY COMMUNITY, THERE IS
DIFFERENCES.
01:13:49THERE ARE DIFFERENT GROUPS
FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
01:13:54IT IS NOT A COHESIVE UNIT OF
ONE CAUSE.
01:13:57THERE IS THE BLIND.
THERE IS THE ACCESSIBILITY
01:14:03ISSUES.
THERE'S THE MENTAL HEALTH
01:14:07ISSUES.
THERE'S DEVELOPMENTAL
01:14:10DISABILITIES.
SO WHEN SHE HAD THE
01:14:13OPPORTUNITY UNDER WORKING FOR
THE GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL TO HELP
01:14:17CREATE THE YOUTH LEADERSHIP
FORUM, WITH THE HELP OF PEOPLE
01:14:22LIKE BILL BAUER, WAYNE COCCHI,
JESSIE BAGINSKI, TO CREATE
01:14:28THAT PROGRAM, THAT PROGRAM
ENABLED HER AND THE FOLKS AT
01:14:37THE GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL TO
REALLY DEAL WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
01:14:41SO THAT THEY NOT ONLY COULD
ACCEPT THEIR DISABILITY, THEY
01:14:45COULD UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER
PEOPLE'S DISABILITIES AND WHAT
01:14:50THEY STRUGGLE WITH, AND ALSO,
THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL VERY
01:14:53COMFORTABLE IN FIGHTING FOR
THEIR OWN RIGHTS AND BE THEIR
01:14:56OWN ADVOCATES, AND BE THE
ADVOCATES FOR EVERYONE IN THE
01:15:00DISABILITY COMMUNITY.
IT IS A PROGRAM THAT REALLY
01:15:05HELPS DEVELOP THAT AMONG
YOUNGSTERS.
01:15:08AFTER SHE PASSED AWAY, THEY
CREATED THIS AWARD.
01:15:12FIVE YEARS AGO, AFTER SHE
PASSED AWAY AND THEY CREATED
01:15:16THE AWARD, THEN I HAD TO
PRESENT THE AWARD, IT WAS A
01:15:21MUCH DIFFICULT TIME FOR ME.
I REMEMBER A FRIEND -- I JUST
01:15:26WANTED TO RUN OUT OF THE ROOM,
YOU KNOW.
01:15:30A PERSON PULLED ME ASIDE AND
SAID IT IS REALLY A TREMENDOUS
01:15:32HONOR THAT SOMEONE HAS AN
AWARD NAMED AFTER THEM.
01:15:35I SAID, I KNOW.
THE BUT I WAS BEING KIND OF
01:15:38SELFISH AT THAT POINT THIS
DEALING WITH MY OWN KIND OF
01:15:40EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE.
ANYWAY, IT DOES SOMEWHAT
01:15:43BECOME EASIER.
I JUST KNOW THAT I THINK ABOUT
01:15:49HER A LOT.
AND SHE IS A BIG PART OF MY
01:15:53FAMILY'S LIFE, MY BOYS.
SO SHE LIVES ON.
01:15:57WHERE IS DEAN FRANCIS?
COME ON UP.
01:16:06DEAN IS -- I'VE PROBABLY
TALKED WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT
01:16:09MAUREEN, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE
YOU SOME BACKGROUND.
01:16:12THERE ARE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY IN
THE ROOM THAT KNOW HER.
01:16:16BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT DON'T.
01:16:21DEAN IS THIS YEAR'S AWARD
RECIPIENT OF THE MAUREEN
01:16:23FITZGERALD LEADERSHIP AWARD.
AND IT IS REALLY DEAR TO
01:16:27PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH YOUNG
FOLKS AND HELP MOTIVATE THEM,
01:16:33CHALLENGE THEM, AND HELP
DEVELOP THEM.
01:16:35DEAN IS A MUSICIAN, AN ARTIST.
I WAS TELLING HIM EARLIER, IF
01:16:43YOU ASKED ME TO SING A SONG TO
SAVE MY SOUL OR PAINT
01:16:46SOMETHING, I'D BE DEAD.
I TOTALLY ADMIRE PEOPLE WHO
01:16:52ARE CREATIVE AND CAN SIT DOWN
AND WRITE.
01:16:58IF YOU ASK ME -- I MEAN, MY
WHOLE CAREER WAS IN LABOR
01:17:01RELATIONS, WORKING ON -- I CAN
PROBABLY WRITE YOU A GOOD
01:17:07MANAGEMENT CLAUSE, BUT THAT
WOULD PUT EVERYBODY TO SLEEP.
01:17:10I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T
KIND OF GO OVER SOME OF THE
01:17:14THINGS THAT DEAN HAS
ACCOMPLISHED.
01:17:18HE'S AN EAST HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATE.
01:17:20I THINK WE ALL HAVE THIS
WRITTEN DOWN.
01:17:21HE GRADUATED FROM CAPITAL
UNIVERSITY.
01:17:24HE HAS DONE AWARD WINNING
RADIO PROGRAMS AND TELEVISION
01:17:27COMMERCIALS.
HE SIMPLY SELF SUFFERS FROM
01:17:31SCLERODERMA, WHICH DEVELOPED A
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO.
01:17:37HE TALKS TO YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT
HIS DISABILITY AND WORKS WITH
01:17:40YOUNG PEOPLE ON THEIR VARIOUS
ISSUES AND HAS DEVELOPED A
01:17:43PROGRAM TO -- AND THERE ARE
HIGHLIGHTS IN THE BACK THERE
01:17:48-- OF THE THINGS THAT HE HAS
DONE IN DEVELOPING AN
01:17:52ITINERARY FOR YOUTH.
CURRENTLY, I THEY HE SAID HE
01:17:58WAS DOING SOMETHING WITH THE
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED UP IN
01:18:00CLEVELAND, DEVELOPED A PROGRAM
FOR THEM.
01:18:05IT'S A REAL PLEASURE FOR ME TO
STAND UP HERE AND RECOGNIZE
01:18:11SOMEONE WHO IS CONTINUOUS WORK
WITH YOUTH, OUTREACH TO YOUTH,
01:18:17AND UNDERSTANDS THE NATURE AND
SCOPE OF DISABILITIES.
01:18:22ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE
INVOLVED WITH THAT.
01:18:25DEAN?
APPLAUDING.
01:19:11) >> I THOUGHT I WOULD WEAR A
COLORFUL RETIREMENT SHIRT.
01:19:24.>: DISTINGUISHED GUESTS,
FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I'M
01:19:25HUMBLED AND HONORED BY THIS
RECOGNITION.
01:19:29THE NAME FOR MAUREEN
FITZGERALD, A WOMAN WHO HAS
01:19:31DEDICATED TO YOUTH AND PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES.
01:19:34I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL ON PEOPLE
01:19:36WITH DISABILITIES FOR
BESTOWING THIS AWARD UPON ME.
01:19:39I HAD MENTIONED TO SOME
FRIENDS I'M SURE THERE'S MANY
01:19:42OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE
WORTHY THAN I TO RECEIVE IT,
01:19:45BUT I AM NONETHELESS
APPRECIATIVE AND HUMBLED BY
01:19:49IT.
I ACCEPT THIS AWARD BY
01:19:52RECOGNIZING THAT YESTERDAY
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 5 3RD
01:19:55BIRTHDAY OF MY SISTER,
STEPHANIE FRANCIS, WHO SURELY
01:19:58WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TODAY HAD
SHE NOT PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY
01:20:03IN MAY OF THIS YEAR.
I WANT TO THANK YOU, TOO, PAM
01:20:11CARTER, WHO NOTIFIED ME OF THE
AWARD AND COACHED ME ON HOW TO
01:20:15BEHAVE AT SUCH EVENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY
01:20:21FRIEND, KAREN VASHU, AND MY
MENTOR, ACTUALLY, FOR HER
01:20:25SUPPORTIVE EFFORTS ON MY
BEHALF.
01:20:28AND I THANK MY BELOVED COUSIN,
DANIELLE WADE FOR HER LOVE,
01:20:32NURTURING, AND UPLIFTING
THROUGHOUT MY LIFE.
01:20:35THANK YOU FOR COMING ALL THE
WAY FROM CLEVELAND TODAY JUST
01:20:39TO WITNESS THIS.
THERE IS A SAYING BY A CLERGY
01:20:45MAN WHO LIVED IN 1600S BY THE
NAME OF WILLIAM JENKINS.
01:20:51HE SAID, AS THE WICKED ARE
HURT BY THE BEST THINGS, SO
01:20:58THE GODLY ARE BETTER BY THE
WORST.
01:21:03SCLERODERMA IS THE WORST THING
THAT HAS BEFALLEN ME IN MY
01:21:05LIFETIME.
IT HAS ALSO BEEN THE MOST
01:21:08CLEANSING AND EMPOWERING THING
TO HAPPEN TO ME IN MY
01:21:12LIFETIME.
YES, IT HAS CAUSED ME MUCH
01:21:17PAIN AND SUFFERING, BUT I'VE
LEARNED THE MEANING OF A QUOTE
01:21:21BY M.
CATHERINE KASICH THAT SAYS,
01:21:23PAIN IS INEVITABLE.
SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL.
01:21:29YES, PAIN IS INESCAPABLE IN
LIFE, BUT ONE NEED NOT SUFFER
01:21:34BECAUSE OF IT.
I HAVE BEEN STRENGTHENED AND
01:21:37SEASONED BY MY AFFLICTION.
AS A FELLOW MUSICIAN ONCE
01:21:42SAID, GRAY SKIES ARE JUST
CLOUDS PASSING OVER.
01:21:49AND SO, TO BE DISABLED SHOULD
NOT BE PROCESSED IN ONE'S MIND
01:21:58ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONAL
DEFINITION THAT MIGHT BE FOUND
01:22:00IN THE WEBSTER'S DICK
NATURERY, YOU KNOW, CRIPPLED,
01:22:04INJURED, INCAPACITATED.
THE I CHOOSE RATHER TO CREATE
01:22:09A NEW DEFINITION FROM EACH
LETTER OF THE WORD DISABLED, D
01:22:13STANDING FOR DETERMINATION, TO
WORK THROUGH PROBLEMS, PAIN,
01:22:17AND SET BACKS.
I STANDING FOR INAGAIN EWETY
01:22:22AND IMAGINATION, STRIVING TO
CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
01:22:25S STANDS FOR SPECIAL.
UNIQUE, NOT FLAWED.
01:22:33A FOR ALTERNATIVES, FINDING
NONTRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS TO
01:22:36EVERYDAY CHALLENGES.
B FOR BRAVERY AND BELIEVE IN
01:22:41ONE SELF AND BELIEF GOD HAS A
PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
01:22:47L CAN BE FOR LESSONS LEARNED,
THAT CAN BE TAUGHT TO OTHERS
01:22:51WHO ARE WATCHING AND LEARNING
INTEREST YOU.
01:22:55E CAN STAND FOR EMPOWERMENT.
AND FINALLY, D FOR DIGNITY
01:22:59THAT COMES FROM VICTORY OVER
ADVERSITY.
01:23:08I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
THIS HONOR AND FOR DEEMING ME
01:23:13WORTHY OF SHARING THE STAGE
WITH SUCH DISTINGUISHED
01:23:15RECIPIENTS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND GOD
01:23:17BLESS THE DISABLED AND PEOPLE
SUFFERING EVERYWHERE.
01:23:21THANK YOU.
(APPLAUDING.
01:23:45) Scott Hinton>> ALL RIGHT.
OUR NEXT AWARD IS THE KARLA
01:23:48LORTZ SCHOLARSHIP.
I KNOW I'VE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO
01:23:50TELL KARLA LAST YEAR THAT I
COULD NEVER HOLD A CANDLE TO
01:23:54YOU.
PREDECESSOR BY WHICH EVERYBODY
01:23:56WILL BE JUDGED, AND RIGHTFULLY
SO.
01:23:59WE'RE JUST HONORED THAT
KARLA'S HERE TODAY AND HER
01:24:02ADVOCACY THAT SHE'S DONE, AS
WELL.
01:24:05EVERYTHING THAT'S GONE BEFORE.
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HOLD A
01:24:09CANDLE TO YOU AND APPRECIATE
HAVING YOU BE HERE TODAY TO
01:24:12GIVE OUT THE SCHOLARSHIP.
>> THANK YOU, SCOTT.
01:24:19IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH ALL
OF YOU TODAY.
01:24:22SINCE IT IS JUST ABOUT TIME
FOR SCHOOL TO START, OR I
01:24:27GUESS IN SOME PLACES, IT
ALREADY HAS, I THOUGHT WE
01:24:29WOULD TAKE A LITTLE QUIZ AND
KIND OF GET IN THE MOOD.
01:24:32WHEN I READ OFF THESE DATES, I
WANT PEOPLE TO EITHER STAND UP
01:24:42OR RAISE YOUR HAND.
HOW MANY OF US WERE ALIVE IN
01:24:481965?
I THOUGHT TED WAS GOING TO TRY
01:24:56TO CHEAT.
BUT HE'S SITTING RIGHT IN
01:24:59FRONT OF ME SO HE COULDN'T.
HOW ABOUT 1968?
01:25:051973?
1976?
01:25:121990?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT WAS
01:25:19SIGNIFICANT ABOUT 1965?
OUR LEGISLATORS OUGHT TO KNOW
01:25:26THIS.
SHAME ON YOU.
01:25:28PRESIDENT LINDEN JOHNSON
SIGNED THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT
01:25:36IN AUGUST OF 1965.
VOTING IS ONE OF THE MOST
01:25:42IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE DO AS
AMERICANS.
01:25:48OUR VOTES SHAPE POLICIES AND
PRACTICES OF OUR COUNTRY.
01:25:51VOTING RIGHTS IN OHIO, AS WELL
AS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, ARE
01:25:56UNDER ATTACK.
HOUSE BILL 194, AS WELL AS
01:26:01SENATE BILL 224 IN OHIO, WOULD
LIMIT THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
01:26:06SO I SINCERELY HOPE THOSE OF
YOU WHO ARE ALREADY REGISTERED
01:26:11TO VOTE WILL EITHER SIGN A
PETITION OR CIRCULATE A
01:26:14PETITION.
THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT BE
01:26:17REGISTERED TO VOTE, I HOPE
THAT YOU WILL MAKE THE EFFORT
01:26:22TO GO OUT AND GET REGISTERED
SO THAT YOU, TOO, CAN SIGN A
01:26:27PETITION AND ALSO VOTE WHEN
THESE PIECES OF LEGISLATION
01:26:35COME UP ON THE BALLOT IN 2012.
IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING
01:26:40RIGHTS ACT, I MENTIONED SOME
DATES.
01:26:44ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO
GET INTO ALL OF THOSE TODAY,
01:26:47THEY ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE EMPLOYMENT OR THE
01:26:51EDUCATION OF PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES.
01:26:55AND I HOPE THAT IF YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, YOU WILL
01:26:58LOOK THEM UP ON THE INTERNET,
OR GO TO THE LIBRARY.
01:27:01AND THE REASON THAT I'M HERE
TODAY IS TO AWARD A
01:27:08SCHOLARSHIP TO A VERY
DESERVING RECIPIENT WHO WILL
01:27:15HOPEFULLY ONE DAY BECOME
SELF-SUFFICIENT AND
01:27:18INDEPENDENT AND A CONTRIBUTING
MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY.
01:27:24SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY BEFORE
01:27:27THE GLASS CEILING COMMISSION
IN CLEVELAND.
01:27:33AND AT THAT TIME, I SAID THAT
WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES
01:27:37WEREN'T EVEN BUMPING THEIR
HEADS ON THE CEILING, LET
01:27:43ALONE GETTING A CONCUSSION.
BUT AS I'VE LOOKED AT THE
01:27:46ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF OUR
RECIPIENT TODAY, I THINK SHE
01:27:51BETTER GET A HELMET, BECAUSE
SHE'S GOING TO NEED IT.
01:27:54IN YOUR PROGRAM, YOU HAVE
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR
01:27:59RECIPIENT.
AND I HOPE YOU HAVE TAKEN THE
01:28:02TIME OR THAT YOU WILL TAKE THE
TIME TO READ THAT INFORMATION.
01:28:07SHE'S TRULY A REMARKABLE YOUNG
LADY, AS IS HER FAMILY WHO ARE
01:28:11HERE WITH HER TODAY.
IN ADDITION, THOUGH, TO THE
01:28:16INFORMATION THAT'S IN YOUR
PROGRAM ABOUT HER, I THINK
01:28:19IT'S SIGNIFICANT TO RECOGNIZE
SOME OF HER OTHER
01:28:26ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHILE SHE'S
BEEN IN SCHOOL.
01:28:29SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN
ESTABLISHING THE LEGO LEAGUE
01:28:37FOR FOURTH TO EIGHTH GRADERS
IN HER COMMUNITY.
01:28:41SHE'S BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN
SPORTS ACTIVITIES.
01:28:45SHE'S ACTIVE WITH HER CHURCH
YOUTH GROUP.
01:28:50AND VOLUNTEERS AT THE RONALD
MCDONALD HOUSE.
01:28:54I'M NOT SURE WHEN SHE FINDS
TIME TO SLEEP, BUT SHE MUST DO
01:28:58ALL RIGHT.
IT IS REALLY MY PLEASURE TO
01:29:04INTRODUCE MORGAN MCNARY.
AND I THINK HER FAMILY SHOULD
01:29:08COME FORWARD, AS WELL, BECAUSE
THEY, INDEED, HAVE BEEN
01:29:12INSTRUMENTAL IN ENSURING
MORGAN'S SUCCESS.
01:29:18MORGAN MCNARY.
(APPLAUDING.
01:29:43) Scott Hinton>> KARLA MOVES
FAST.
01:29:46YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH HER.
>> I DON'T REALLY HAVE
01:30:26>> I DON'T REALLY HAVE
ANYTHING PREPARED, SO WE WILL
01:30:29SEE HOW THIS GOES.
AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
01:30:34THE SCHOLARSHIP.
I'M GOING TO BE ATTENDING,
01:30:38STARTING SATURDAY, THE
UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON.
01:30:44AND I'M GOING TO BE A
MECHANICAL ENGINEER
01:30:46TECHNOLOGIST.
IT IS SOMETHING I'VE WANTED TO
01:30:50DO SINCE I WAS EIGHT.
SO I THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
01:30:54LETTING ME HAVE THIS
SCHOLARSHIP TO MAKE THAT
01:30:57HAPPEN.
AND DAYTON WAS THE SCHOOL OF
01:31:00MY DREAMS, AND WITHOUT THE
SCHOLARSHIP, I WOULDN'T BE
01:31:03ABLE TO GET INTO IT.
THANKS.
01:31:06(APPLAUDING.
) Scott Hinton>> OKAY.
01:31:23AT THIS POINT, WE WILL MOVE TO
THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OUR
01:31:28OUTGOING COUNCIL MEMBERS.
SEVERAL OF OUR MEMBERS COULD
01:31:31NOT BE HERE TODAY.
RENEE NEMETH, ISAAC DEMAREST,
01:31:34REBECCA VEACH COULD NOT BE
HERE.
01:31:39WE WILL GET THEIR AWARDS TO
THEM.
01:31:41TODAY, WE HAVE DEBRA MOODY,
SHONDA CAUSEY, IF YOU WOULD
01:31:44COME ON UP.
DON'T BE SHY.
01:31:50(APPLAUDING.
) Scott Hinton>> WE WILL HAVE
01:31:59JERMAINE AND LINDA, THE NEXT 1
CHAIR FOR THE COUNCIL, COME
01:32:04OVER.
OF COURSE, OUR OUTGOING MEMBER
01:33:03OF COURSE, OUR OUTGOING MEMBER
OF NOTE IS JERMAINE BROWN, OUR
01:33:07CHAIR THIS YEAR.
HE IS COMING OFF COUNCIL.
01:33:13JERMAINE HAS HAD EXTREME
PATIENCE WITH ME AS I CAME
01:33:16BACK FROM MILITARY DUTY THIS
YEAR.
01:33:19ACTUALLY, JERMAINE HAS KNOWN
MORE ABOUT ME THAN PROBABLY
01:33:22ANY OTHER CHAIR BEFORE ME,
KNOWN MORE ABOUT ME AS A
01:33:26PERSON BEFORE THEM, AND A LOT
OF PATIENCE AS I WENT THROUGH
01:33:29MY READJUSTMENTS, MY STUFF.
JERMAINE'S PRETTY MUCH AWARE
01:33:35OF EVERY BIT OF COUNSELING I
GO THROUGH IN VA.
01:33:40A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.
WE SHARE VACATION SPOTS.
01:33:42I MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.
JERMAINE'S LIKE, OH, HEY, I'M
01:33:45GOING TO GO, HEY, HAVE YOU
EVER TRIED THIS, HAVE YOU EVER
01:33:47TRIED THAT.
I'VE TRIED TO TELL HIM ABOUT
01:33:50THAT.
IT HAS BEEN A GREAT
01:33:55RELATIONSHIP.
I AM SO SORRY THAT HE -- I'M
01:33:59LIKE, JERMAINE, STAY, PLEASE.
BUT HE'S MADE UP HIS MIND.
01:34:05I KNOW I WILL BE RINGING HIS
PHONE NO MATTER WHERE HE'S AT.
01:34:09I WILL ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH ME.
LET'S WELCOME JERMAINE BROWN,
01:34:14OUTGOING CHAIR.
(APPLAUDING.
01:34:22) Jermaine Brown>> I WASN'T
EXPECTING TO SPEAK TODAY.
01:34:25THAT WASN'T THE GOAL.
IF YOU NOTICED WHEN I DID THE
01:34:28WELCOME, IT WAS REAL QUICK.
I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT
01:34:31ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK THE
21-MEMBER COUNCIL THAT I
01:34:37SERVE.
IT'S BEEN AN HONOR.
01:34:38IT'S BEEN A PRIVILEGE.
IT'S BEEN A BLESSING.
01:34:40IF YOU COULD JUST STAND, RAISE
YOUR HAND, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE
01:34:44TO DO, JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE.
LET'S GIVE YOU A ROUND OF
01:34:48APPLAUSE.
(APPLAUDING.
01:34:54) Jermaine Brown>> THEY ARE
SUCH A DYNAMIC GROUP OF
01:34:55PEOPLE.
AND IT IS JUST TRULY BEEN AN
01:34:58HONOR.
I'VE ALSO ENJOYED WORKING
01:35:02WITH DIRECTOR MILLER.
HE'S BEEN A PARTNER OF MINE.
01:35:06NOT IN CRIME, OF COURSE.
BUT A PARTNER.
01:35:11WE'VE MANAGED TO ACCOMPLISH A
LOT OF GREAT THINGS THIS YEAR.
01:35:13DESPITE WHAT SCOTT MENTIONED,
I'M NOT LEAVING THE COUNCIL.
01:35:17MY APPOINTMENT IS ACTUALLY
OFFICIALLY UP.
01:35:21SO I'M NOT ABANDONING THE
COUNCIL AT ALL.
01:35:24IT HAS TRULY BEEN A BLESSING
FOR ME.
01:35:27I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF ALSO
DOING THE CLOSING.
01:35:30I DON'T KNOW IF SCOTT KNEW
THAT OR NOT.
01:35:35WITH THAT SAID, WHAT I WOULD
LIKE TO DO -- DID YOU HAVE
01:35:38SOMETHING OVER THERE?
SEE, I'M DEVIATING FROM THE
01:35:46AGENDA SLIGHTLY.
I THINK THEY WANT TO GIVE ME
01:35:49SOMETHING.
THIS IS AWKWARD.
01:35:58I'M TRYING TO GET YOU OUT OF
HERE.
01:36:01Linda Oda>> WE'VE GOT TO
RECOGNIZE ALL OF THE WORK.
01:36:05JERMAINE HAS -- THIS WAS NOT
SCRIPTED EITHER, BUT AS
01:36:11INCOMING CHAIR, I WAS GOING TO
SAY GOD WILLING, BUT IT IS
01:36:13REALLY GOVERNOR KASICH
WILLING, AND IN SOME CIRCLES,
01:36:17BUT JERMAINE HAS JUST GONE
OVER AND BEYOND THE CALL OF
01:36:22DUTY.
AND AS INCOMING CHAIR, I AM
01:36:25REALLY NERVOUS, BECAUSE TO
FILL HIS SHOES, MEANS SUCH A
01:36:27HUGE TIME AND RESOURCE COMMIT,
BECAUSE HE HAS MADE OUR
01:36:33COUNCIL JUST AMAZING THIS
YEAR.
01:36:37WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
(APPLAUDING.)
01:36:50Jermaine Brown>> I PROMISED
I WAS GOING TO GET YOU HOME,
01:37:24Jermaine Brown>> I PROMISED
I WAS GOING TO GET YOU HOME,
01:37:26AND I'M GOING TO DO THAT.
IF THERE IS ONE THING I WANT
01:37:29TO LEAVE WITH YOU, AND SOMEONE
MENTIONED EARLIER, LET'S KEEP
01:37:32FIGHTING.
DON'T EVER THINK FOR ONE
01:37:37MINUTE THAT THE WORK YOU DO
EVERY DAY DOESN'T MAKE A
01:37:42DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
IT'S NOT ABOUT AWARDS.
01:37:47IT'S NOT ABOUT ACCOLADES.
IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE.
01:37:51AND I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER
THAT.
01:37:52WE ARE THE GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL
ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
