Governor Kasich visits Boys State his mission in life figured out, as many young men of 17 and 18 years old do not. The governor has clearly grown into someone who is capable of being elected to an extremely important leadership position, and he is certain of what his calling is.
“[My mission is] helping people,” he said. He does not feel that he has to be Governor of Ohio in order to fulfill this mission. “Just a nurse in the hospital helps people… it can be any occupation.”
In addition to learning the governor was not always a confident leader, many may be surprised at what he said when he was asked who his favorite rock bands are.
“I’m going to see One-H tonight, but you probably don’t know who that is… I like Linkin Park,” he said to conclude the interview.
On Sunday evening, young men representing over 600+ high schools, homeschool programs, and online high schools from Ohio came together in the Bowling Green Stroh Center.

Nationalists ignore party,
show city prideby Logan Plumley
“Democrat or Republican?” That is the question surrounding today’s politics. Some voters will only vote for their specific party while others keep an open mind and base their votes on the politicians’ views, and not their party. The Nationalist party at American Legion Buckeye Boys State follows the second trend more closely. Instead of votes based on party, votes are based on two factors common throughout most cities: characteristics of the candidate and city of the candidate.
The city of Allen set its beliefs and values based around the city’s
Monday night's ceremony brought more than just information and formalities to a long day of work. It also drew in a guest speaker whose reputation preceded him. Tom Ryan has been the head coach for the Ohio State University wrestling team for six seasons, ending his sixth season as head coach in 2011-12. Ryan
is an experienced coach, winning over 180 career matches, having his team take two 2nd place titles at the NCAA Championships, and won the National Coach of the Year honor in 2009. This was Ryan’s 4th year coming to Buckeye Boys State to give a speech to the Buckeye Boys State members. In his introduction, Mr. Ryan expressed how much he enjoyed speaking at Buckeye Boys State, saying “I wanna be here”. Mr. Ryan gave a truly inspiring speech, telling the BBS members to “live a life of integrity” and to “never give up, never quit”.
The Hetuck was able to hold an interview with Ryan before the ceremony, and he was just as charismatic and well-spoken as he was in front of the crowd. Tom Ryan said that Buckeye Boys State

ever. Each young man entered the arena proudly surrounded by fellow members of their designated city. The Buckeye Boys State has 30 cities originating from separate counties housed in Bowling Green’s own West/East Tower Dormitories and the relatively new Falcon Heights Dormitory. While they walked in, a member of each city held their sign post as they walked to their seats. The young men were official delegates as soon as they entered and were about to start a “week to shape a lifetime.” From an observer’s point of view, there was an obvious sense of enthusiasm. The delegates roared with chants, ball-game style cheers, and even the classic “Wave” circled the arena as the crowd favorite. Buckeye Boys State is the largest annual government workshop bringing in a rough total this year of 1,240 students from its 88 counties.
This program not only encourages leadership but embraces it using the unique qualities that every delegate brings to the table. Each young man was reminded during the ceremony of the power in the word ‘respect’ and the value of patriotism. Shouts of USA echoed through the stands and triumphant songs from the band added to the atmosphere. The delegates are anticipated this week to be engulfed in a fantastic learning experience with more exciting things to come.
From the reactions of the delegates to the reactions of the staff, I think everyone can agree that this year could be the best Buckeye Boys State yet!
is an event he's proud to contribute to in his own way. It's been on his calendar for the past four years, and he doesn't wish to see it removed any time soon. Mr. Ryan sees Buckeye Boys State as a way for young men to be a part of something greater than themselves. Boys State is a way to make great choices and begin a life of public service and activism.
Despite all his success in life as an athlete and a coach, Mr. Ryan believes that his greatest accomplishment has been devoting his life to Christ. A man of immense faith and character, Tom Ryan had a few heartfelt, but truthful words to say to any young delegate to change the world. He said that life is going to get rough there's no way around it. The man who succeeds is the one who never gives up and lives a life of integrity.

Sportsmanship and recreation times
Going up?..I’ll just wait a minute

follow the rules of the game and to respect each and every member of it
by Cody WintermuteThe entire BBS program
assembled Sunday night for the opening ceremony, which brought
accordingly. As you finish electing the delegates for official positions in the mock government pressure is rising in the heat of competition. We must remember to keep hostility to a minimum and to make sure that you and everyone else enjoys the Buckeyes Boys State experience. When Tom Ryan spoke to us he quoted a man who said that we learn more from a single teardrop than you do from a telescope. Even if we lose in our elections you do not truly lose. The loser never truly loses and he gains experience so he is better the next time he tries. Also remember to show the respect that the winning candidates deserve, and to help them achieve their goals because this is your government, and in this machine all the parts need to be operational in order for the machine to run smoothly. Compromise is a forever important key to democracy, our government. In the end let us all shake hands and say “May the best man win.”
With this in mind, those who are interested in participating in these recreational events, there is a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee games taking place every day of the week. These activities will be taking place from 3:30-5:15 and from 6:00-7:00. Your dedication to good behavior during the recreational events is greatly appreciated.
a wealth of information and encouragement to the boys. It may have been the highlight of the day for many people, sans the walk to and from the Stroh Center. However, for the residents of Towers East, a much smaller event took a close second. After the opening ceremony, a Boys State member was stuck in the Offenhauer East Tower elevator for approxiamately half an hour. The delegate, who will remain anonymous, was initially nervous with the incident, but retained a calm disposition while rescuers spoke through the door. The elevator stopped working between floors seven and eight at 9:40, but the delegate was back on his floor by 10:10 with a great story to tell his city. Other reports have shown that these malfunctions are common. Multiple smaller incidents have occured throughout the day, such as doors opening and closing erratically and elevators simply not moving. Chris Schmitt, resident advisor for Towers East, had an ominous story from last year's Boys State that would send anyone to the staircase.
There's going to be a lot of movement in everyone's future this week. It'll be late; you're going to be tired and ready to fall in bed, but if you don't want to tempt fate, maybe you should take the stairs next time.
unity. Allen nationalists stated that their votes will be given to other Allen citizens regardless of party, unless they are earned by someone from another city who is simply a better candidate. “Nationalist isn’t about supporting someone because of title. It’s about supporting someone with strong views on the betterment of the overall good,” explained Allen resident Daniel Arnold. Similar viewpoints were expressed by the citizens in Bangham, who plan to support all of their city residents no matter what party. Cole Bolin said the city’s votes will be earned by the person who will run the city, county, or state the right way.
In the non-partisan state of most cities, character and ideas are much more important in winning votes than party. Voisard resident Garrett Nease’s vote is won by those who do “more than say ‘sign this’ and walk away,” which Downing’s Rehmaan Rafique reiterated. Kevin Allwine of Balding is more likely vote on Tuesday for the people who “weren’t necessarily campaigning and took the time to talk to me.” While the American government is split between two parties which can be close-minded, the Buckeye Boys’ State delegates are keeping an open mind to all candidates who put the value of the city and state as a whole above their party.

an uproar of applause. Later Tuesday evening the results were in, and Brent T. Knipper was elected Buckeye Boys State Governor.
After the results were posted, the Hetuck was able to get an interview with Brent Knipper. Knipper stated that he was pleased with the results of the election and was glad that the populous had selected him. While
they were waiting for the results of the election, Knipper said that he found out that he and his opponent, Alexandre Coker, were quite similar. Knipper remarked that Coker was a great guy, and even offered him a job, which Coker respectfully declined. When asked about his platform, Brent Knipper said that he is going to push for three things: education reform, taxation reform for public officials, and an increase in industry and the state’s transportation system. When asked to further elaborate his plan for education, Knipper said that he is going to push for a county high school system, which he believes has
On Tuesday afternoon, members of Buckeye Boys State filed into the Stroh Center, waiting anxiously to hear from their potential future leaders.
They were waiting to hear the State delegates of the Nationalist and Federalist parties answer questions during the State Debate. Most of the Boys State members were waiting for one thing in particular: to hear from the Governor candidates from each party, Alexandre J. Coker for the Federalists, and Brent T. Knipper for the Nationalists. Both gentlemen had won their primary elections for their party earlier that day and were prepared to answer questions at the debate.
Each delegate had select words to say and answered the questions with skill and grace. However, one candidates responses stood out. As soon as Brent T. Knipper began to speak, the entire auditorium seemed to lean in and listen. Knipper grabbed the audience’s immediate attention and expressed his plan in clear words that everyone understood. The reaction from the audience after he spoke made their approval obvious. Even though audience members were not supposed to applaud the candidates, Brent Knipper received

Before the Gubernatorial debate, candidate Alexandre (Alex) J. Coker thought it was going to be a closer race. In his first interview after the 829-375 loss to Governor Brent T. Knipper, Coker said he “thought the race was really close before the debate,” but “a lot of the jokes and a lot of the humor that Mr. Knipper brought definitely changed the atmosphere.”
Coker’s response to Knipper’s golf metaphor ignited a small battle of words and applause. Coker wanted to be seen as a candidate with a serious, straightforward attitude about the issues as opposed to Knipper’s more lighthearted

Despite his loss, he said he “would not change anything” about his campaign.

differed greatly from Governor Knipper’s. Coker put forth a plan to have the State take 75% of taxpayer money to spend on individual students while reserving the remaining 25% to provide school administrations with resources.

Boys Staters exercise their basic rights
Tuesday kicked off a day long election fever that brought the efforts of the delegates’ campaigns to a head.
The day began with the city and county elections as well as the state primaries. At least they would have if a computer glitch hadn’t crashed the network, delaying the polls by almost an hour. Despite this hiccup in the system, the polls still saw a 100% turn-out among the population.
As the Boys Staters were brought to their polling areas, they were greeted with a silence that took hold of the people in the room. No voter dared to speak during his participation in the most basic right of democracy. During the first round of voting this morning, city government (minus city council) and the state-level positions were selected. Later in the day, city councils and county roles were chosen.
Over sixty candidates were running on the dual ticket for governor and lieutenant governor, but after the voting that list was narrowed to just four individuals: Alexandre Coker and Tyler Freeman on the Federalist ticket and Brent Knipper with Colton Haller for the Nationalists. A full list of the State primary victors can be viewed in the Offenhauer Towers Plaza as well as the Falcon Heights front window.
With all of the elected positions now secured by capable individuals, the true Buckeye Boys State experience can begin. We can finally see elected officials in their natural
environments of decision-making, leading, and budgeting. Hopefully, every young man here will be able to find himself in a role he enjoys and contribute to the success and spirit this week has left to offer.

Coker also suggested putting a 1% tax on cigarettes, alcohol and gambling, a position Knipper vehemently opposed.
Even with the intensity of the debate, Coker wishes the governor well. “I feel like [Knipper] is going to do just fine.” He went on to call Knipper a “really good guy.”
Alex Coker’s time at Buckeye Boys State will be spent working in public service. He was chosen to be the Director of Public Service and Public Safety for the city of Stockner. As for his political convictions, he plans to “keep it up and refine [my] issues,” and hopes to use them at a later date in his life.
Volume 73, Issue 3 Wednesday 6/12/2013
On June 12, 2013, the delegates of BBS went to the Stroh center to witness their new state officials being sworn in. As we all piled into the Stroh Center out of the hot, humid air we suddenly felt at ease from the cool air. We all sat there eager to hear what our State Governor had to say.
There was a beautiful rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner on the violin by our own State Auditor, Hiromasa A. Harada, who received a standing ovation for his performance. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Secretary of State came out and certified the result of the polls. This was followed by Justice Kennedy swearing in the Lieutenant Governor, State Secretary, Attorney General and Treasurer of State. Next, Justice Kennedy swore in the members of the Chief Justice Supreme Court, Associate Justice Supreme Court, and Judge of Court of Appeals.
Christian Moore, our Supreme Court Justice, swore in the state and county positions. The House of Representatives were sworn in first followed by county and city officials.
Then the moment we were all anticipating: the Honor Guard
marched in along with the State troopers. As our State Governor approached, police alarms sounded and bagpipes started playing.
Knipper walked up on to the stage and waved his hand, prompting a standing ovation from the entire delegation. After the certification of his election, Knipper was presented a certificate proclaiming him as the Governor of Buckeye Boys State.
The Governor’s speech started out with a proverb, Timothy 4:12. “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” He wanted the people of our state to know just because we are a group of young men does not mean we can’t get things accomplished. Knipper also was very professional and thanked the Legionnaires, veterans, counselors and even his opponent Coker. He then spoke about leading the assembly into a new era for the betterment of our Boys State. Knipper next brought up education, social reform, and improving infrastructure. He did not go into detail on how exactly he was going to implement each of those issues. He then wrapped up his speech by stating that he wanted to make this week the best experience of our

Over 150 young men applied for the Ohio State Patrol Academy at Buckeye Boys State. Only 20 of those who applied were selected. As part of the Boys State Academy the boys will be part of patrolling the BBS campus area, and ticketing those who are breaking the laws. Some of these laws include speeding, walking the wrong way, and walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk. These young men will be involved in learning basic OSP procedures and order. These boys will also learn how to march, stand at attention, and much more. The OSP will be bringing in the Special Response Team and the K9 unit as well. The selected boys will also be part of a fallen officer memorial, and have the honor of working with the Trooper of the Year Trooper Cook.

lives. Knipper ended his speech from a quote by Lily Tomlin, “The road to success is always under construction.”
Overall, his speech was inspirational and it appears he will help to make our Boys State experience better.
2 The Hetuck
On Wednesday at 8:15 city representatives at BBS walked down to city hall where Richard Edwards, the mayor of Bowling Green city, spoke to the delegates about the history behind the seal of this city. Before this city was built there was actually a black swamp right where the city is. This swamp was rich in oil and it was drained out so that the city could be built here. The richness in oil is signified by the upper right corner of the seal with the oil well.

After Mayor Richard Edwards speech, we accompanied the Fire and Police Chief of Balser City, Mitchell Pfenning, took a tour to the Police Department of Bowling Green. There we were escorted around the building and met with the officers and staff working on site. While we were there, we were taken to the firing range on the third floor of the building, and had the honor of shooting a forty caliber Smith and Wesson handgun. We were also able to handle an M-16 as well, and were educated on the specifics of the firearms and how they are used on duty. After our tour in the police station we went to the Fire Department of Bowling Green. There we enjoyed gearing up in the firemen’s attire, and then going up on the bucket nine stories high.

Elevator hostage (comic relief)
June 12, 2013. It has been three days since 8 Buckeye Boy Citizens entered an elevator in the hopes of being able to exit on their own free will. As one can probably assume, things did not go as planned and the elevator froze, unwilling to move even an inch or open its doors.
This was the beginning of a hostage situation which would last hours and required a constant negotiation between emergency response teams, the hostages, and the elevator. Reasoning with an elevator can be a dangerous thing. Like many appliances, elevators work behind scenes and behind walls. Silently traversing floor to floor, searching for helpless quarry to engulf. An elevator in the prime of its life can have both the speed of a printer and the maliciousness of an ill-tempered vending machine. You can never know when one will snap. When the fine line between selfless servitude
by Colter Flinn
and cold, hard, predatory instinct will be crossed and the dark places of the world will open to spew forth a new era of elevator world dominance.
Luckily though, today was not that day. The hostages were released after minimal negotiations, postponing the appliance apocalypse. After disgorging its contents, the elevator resumed functioning and has been pardoned after it became clear that the hostages had instigated a response from the elevator. It just goes to show never mess with something that can lift 2500 pounds with ease. has been pardoned after it became clear that the hostages had instigated a response from the elevator.

When asked about the program Dylan Bishop, from Bishop City, said that “They have prepared us well for the remainder of the week.” Allan Metz also commented about the academy by saying “It’s very hands on.” Metz is a member of Merritt City. In 2001, the father of Metz was Trooper of the Year. Richard Newland was also selected for the Academy from Leonard City and said “The most educational part was learning the trooper’s personality.” The academy was sworn in today in the lobby of Offenhauer Towers.
The Hetuck 3Unemployed delegates use last
chance to find jobsby Logan Plumley
After two days of campaigning, interviewing, testing and voting, the madness was almost at an end. With all elections ending with one winner and possibly multiple delegates drawing the short end of the stick, the unemployed delegates made one final stop.
Hundreds of Buckeye Boys State delegates packed into the Oaks dining hall to watch a PowerPoint presentation explaining potential jobs ranging from agriculture to lottery commission and anywhere in between. The number of job openings varies according to department, but most have five or six openings. However, some, such as transportation, can have as many as ten openings, according to State Government Staff and Job Fair Assistant Walt Chambers.
After the presentation, each delegate moved onto the patio to line up for the speed hiring process, which is “a lot like speed dating,” said Chambers. Delegates had only a minute or two to make their pitch to the state-elected officials in most cases, but Mikel Merker from Copeland was just asked his name, which was written down for the job without an interview. While the job fair is used as a last resort for most of the delegates, many still find the jobs to be interesting, rather than something they have to do. Some even have sentimental reasons for their job choice. One such delegate is Kitchen resident Steven Gerdeman, who applied for a job at the alcohol and drug addiction services. “Drugs
and alcohol are a big problem where I live, and I know families that could benefit from it,” Gerdeman said. Others plan on pursuing similar fields in college and beyond. The job fair may have been a last chance for those who lost their election, but they were jobs that delegates were excited about, nonetheless.
Congress opens the floors
by Cody WintermuteThe Senate and House of
Representatives convened for their first General Assembly Wednesday morning. Beginning promptly at 8:30, the new congressmen were separated by party in their respective chambers, and the clerks, majority leaders and minority leaders were formally introduced.
In the Nationalist-heavy Senate, the President gave his opening address and had both parties choose senators to contribute to one of eleven bipartisan Senate committees. When asked what he hoped to accomplish during this week, Senate President Dominic Becker said that he was hoping to pass more legislation than previous years through efficient bipartisanship. Becker also hoped to focus on education and gun control. As a gesture of good faith, Governor Knipper sent representatives to congratulate the senators and send word that he hopes he will be able to work harmoniously with the assembly.
The House of Representatives,
which has the Federalists holding most of the seats, began its schedule in a similar manner. With twice as many members in the House than the Senate, things began to move slower as more and more deliberation was needed to keep the representatives from becoming unruly. However, Speaker Pro-Tempore Hunter Stark was able to maintain composure and keep the other congressmen in line. After numerous motions of action, amendments to motion actions, and amendments to amend motions, the House settled on 15 committees. Stark was also available to comment on his aspirations for the assembly. His focus was to improve traffic codes in hopes of eliminating congestion in the dorms. Like Senator Becker, he also hoped to tackle gun control legislation.
State Highway Patrol swears in delegatesby Nathan White
On Wednesday morning June 12, 2013 twenty young men were sworn in as Buckeye Boys State Highway Patrol Troopers by Judge Robert G. Lavery. The Boys State Highway Patrol program is conducted by actual officers and troopers of Ohio Patrol. They receive training in law enforcement, Ohio law, and perform several law enforcement responsibilities within the Buckeye Boys State program. These 20 young men were the last remaining of a group of 176 hoping to become a Buckeye Boys State Highway Patrol member.
Staff Lieutenant John Altman said

The State Board of Education would like to see one vocational school established in each dorm building. The State hopes to establish technical training programs that will become a permanent part of Boys State, equal to the prominence of the Ohio State Patrol Academy.
The “vocational schools,” as the State Board is calling them, will provide instruction in such career programs as mechanics, cosmetology and culinary arts.
“Like most technical schools, there’s going to be all sorts of stuff; stuff that actual high schools don’t teach regularly. Some people don’t want to sit in a classroom and learn about history or learn about about math; they want to cook,” Superintendent of Daily Operations Chase Gideon said.
Since our week at Bowling Green is already about halfway over, the State’s goal this year is to lay the foundation for the career programs to play a large part next year and in Boys States to come.

Idea to set up vocational schools
develops
The inspiration for pushing the development of vocational schools at Boys State comes in part from Ohio Governor John Kasich, who said he wants to “reenergize the career and technical education in Ohio.” A counselor who oversees the State Board of Education also expressed support for establishing career technical programs.
Gideon the State Board is not currently worrying about funds. Instead, Gideon said “we’re just trying to get the idea into the legislature, and once we pass it we’ll figure out what’ll happen.” In order to get the idea into people’s heads, the State Board is drafting a bill they hope to pass through the Senate. The practicalities of the programs, such as who the teachers are going to be and how they are going to be recruited, would be worked out if the initial bill passes.
Although the State is confident with their idea, the vocational schools already face opposition from several city school board members and some Senators.
Multiple city superintends have voiced concerned with how these programs are going to be funded, saying that city school boards will not be able to afford the contributing the money necessary to make the programs a reality. Certain senators projected the bill has no chance of passing due to its lack of logistics.
Despite insisting the State has not yet planned any of the funding, Chase Gideon said the State would “put some money forward, but not all of it.”
The bill is expected to be discussed in the Senate on Thursday.

the goal of this program is to do the best job they can in the short amount of time they have to give the young men an accurate experience of what it`s like to be a State Trooper.
Altman stated, “We let them know what our core values are….
knowledge is power and having the knowledge about what it takes to become a State Trooper and the qualities and characteristics of what we`re looking for allows them the opportunity to set them down the right path.”
Mike Paris and Alec Miller are two Boys State Troopers out of the group of 20. In order to become a Trooper, they had to fill out an application before the program even started. Upon their arrival, they had to take a test consisting of 20 questions about the actual Ohio State Highway Patrol and its history. Test score and quality of application were taken into consideration when selecting the 20 young men that would represent the Patrol. After the members were chosen, training occurred. Learning how to march properly and standing straight in line
were both part of their regimen. Alec and Mike are both planning
on continuing this type of career path through and after college. Alec stated how he plans to attend the University of Toledo to study criminal justice, while Mike plans to join the Army.
Whatever their plan, the future looks bright for these young men as they will continue to serve as Buckeye Boys State Highway Patrol Troopers for the rest of the week.

Midnight tornado warning: the rush to
safetyby Dean Clingerman
Close to midnight on the morning of Thursday, the tornado alarms sounded throughout the build-ings of BGSU, and sirens echoed through the campus. In the midst of this storm people woke up to counsel-ors and fellow members of BBS guid-ing the delegates to the proper areas. The members of BBS rushed quickly out of bed and made it swiftly down the stairs of their building. While they patiently waited for the storm to pass over, many delegates contacted their family and friends letting them
know about the situation. After ap-proximately an hour of waiting, they were allowed back to their dorms. Some were called into city meetings. The threat of tornadoes were gone, but the storm still going strong. The delegates attempted to go to bed once
more. Some were more successful than others, but all were lacking sleep from this unwanted interruption. Even though it was inconvenient, on the bright side it was an event few BBS members get to experience.
Attorney General Mike DeWine pays visit to
Boys Stateby Nate White
On June 12, 2013, Ohio`s Attorney General Mike DeWine paid a visit to the court section of Buckeye Boys State in Founder`s Hall. While there, he gave a speech that consisted of his describing the job of an Attor-ney General, pronouncing how you must have a passion for whatever you do in life, and designating that the government can`t solve its cases in one hour, unlike the detectives on CSI. No one will deny that the
schedule of an Attorney General is stringently demanding. Therefore, there must be some reason that DeW-ine decided to take the time to pay Boys State a visit. DeWine stated, “Boys State is great because I think it gives some very practical experience. You have the opportunity to listen to people who do this [political work] every day. I also wanted to [visit] because the American Legion means a lot to me.” Buckeye Boys State is known as “a week that will shape a lifetime.” Believe it or not, DeWine was not picked to attend Boys State in his high school career. Given that circumstance, he looked to something else that would mold his future. DeWine pronounced, “I think I first really got interested in government in 1960 when John Ken-nedy ran against Richard Nixon . . . it was a very close race, hotly contested, and I was at a very young, impres-sionable age . . . and I think I just got excited by it.” Not many people compare the world of politics to the world of sports. Attorney General Mike DeW-ine is one of those people. He went on to say, “The great thing about politics is it`s a lot like sports . . . there`s a competition, there`s a winner, there`s a loser. What`s even better about poli-tics though is that after you`re a win-ner, you get to go do something with it.”continued on page 4

In Bishop City there is a room that is kept under lock and requires spe-cial permission for outside people to enter. What could be inside that is so important? Something a little uncon-ventional:
150+ pizza boxes.
Since the second day of Buckeye Boys State 2013, the city of Bishop has been going city to city asking people to donate any piece of unused cardboard possible and over-time they have amassed quite an im-pressive horde. The project, although comical at a glance, is endorsed by the city of Bishop for a rather serious reason: to create a Gold Standard for monetary value the same way a na-tion might increase their GDP. The city also intends to endorse their stash of pizza boxes by donating or selling their “product” to other cities and of-ficials. Bishop City took a risk. One of the most important qualities of a currency is that it must be col-lectively accepted as an item of value. Therefore Bishop must not be the only city interested in the pizza box business. Luckily for them, the con-cept has gained ground. Over time, other cities have caught on and began their own pizza box collection with similar goals and an innate taste for competition. If anything at all, this type of interest will definitely bring a smile those that sell pizza locally. The pizza

Many of the delegates at Buckeye Boys State try to find a po-sition which they are interested in or pick one that seems like fun. The positions at Buckeye Boys State definitely help show the delegates what they want to do in their future. Some of the Boys State delegates actually get jobs either re-lated to or based on the position they held at Buckeye Boys State. No one could be a better example of this than Aaron Raush. Aaron Raush was a Buck-eye Boys State delegate in 2003 who currently lives in Columbus. When he first came to Boys State, Aaron didn’t really know what position he wanted to hold. He ended up becoming the Office of Budget and Management (OBM) director. Today, Aaron cur-rently works for the Office of Budget and Management as a budget analyst. Aaron is helping out at Buckeye Boys State this year as an OBM counselor. This is Aaron’s first year helping out at Buckeye Boys State. The Hetuck was able to in-terview Aaron Raush and asked him his thoughts on the Buckeye Boys State program. Aaron said that he en-joyed his time at Buckeye Boys State in 2003 and believes Boys State is a great way to show civic duty and pub-lic service. He went on to say that he had no idea what he would do in his future as he entered Buckeye Boys State, and didn’t know that Boys State would help guide him to his current job. Aaron expressed gratitude toward the American Legion for having such a wonderful program and believes Buckeye Boys State provides hope for interest in government in today’s youth. Aaron finished the interview saying that he believed Buckeye Boys State delegates are future leaders and government officials of the United States.

by John Gibsonboxes also are important to govern-ment engineers who use cardboard as a structural material for various proj-ects such as replicas and signs, which means that the boxes will be in de-mand if not purely for competition. If anything, the challenge for other cit-ies is to usurp Bishop’s supreme reign over the pizza box industry. Will the other cities be able to step up, or will they forever remain behind Bishop in the pizza box industry?
“A week to shape a lifetime” reads in large font across the front page of the Buckeye Boys’ State blue book. At the delegate meetings, The Ameri-can Legionnaires promise that some of the best friendships students ever make will be made at Boys’ State. After three days, cities are visibly coming together and forming these promised friendships. “Although we were diverse coming in, we have bonded and found com-mon interests,” said Greg “Prince” Johnson of the other residents of Bald-ing. Cities may appear very diverse on the outside, but as the residents are getting to know each other better, they are finding common interests between even the most diverse backgrounds and personalities. Numerous Madaf-fer residents found their common in-terest in law enforcement, and Bishop residents found theirs in sports. Con-versely, Jonah Vonderembse from Leonard attributes bonding to the di-versity and different opinions making conversation more interesting. Opportunities to bond in free time have been taken full advantage of by Balding, who uses the free time to have city meetings once a day “where we talk about our problems, eat pizza, have arm wrestling tournaments, and play card games,” said Johnson. Ev-ery resident was also given a nick-name at these meetings, such as “Ral-

Today I learned what it meant to be a true Buckeye Boy. I met a young man named Kaleb Herrera who previously before his arrival to Boys State was in a terrible car acci-dent and had to be taken by helicopter via Life Flight. Kaleb lives in Clyde, Ohio and is a lifeguard, which is where his story starts. Kaleb needed to pick up some flip-flops from the store for his job, so he drove out and picked up a pair. When he got home his brother wanted to practice driving. Kaleb knew his brother had been practic-ing and agreed to take him out. Kaleb took his brother out onto the country roads to practice with his brother. Ka-leb’s girlfriend and friend also came along. While they were out there they came to what they thought was a four-way stop. When his brother continued driving a car smashed into their vehi-cle on the passenger side. This caused the car to fall into a ditch where Kaleb went unconscious. As he regained his conscious-ness, he was being pulled out of the car after the Jaws of Life had removed the door. The police started question-ing the accident right away and want-ed to know if there was any drugs or alcohol involved. Kaleb explained as best as he could in the condition he was in. He was then flown to the hospital along with his girlfriend who obtained abdominal bruising from the seatbelt in the crash. Kaleb had to spend two days in the ICU. When he arrived at the hospital he received stitches across the side of his head.The accident really showed Kaleb how precious life is and how easily it can be taken away from you. He start-ed to realize that he needed to make every opportunity count. Buckeye Boys State was such an opportunity and a once in a lifetime opportunity at that. He has been able to learn so many different things. He even was voted to his city council.
He has not been home since the accident and has built up medi-cal bills. Despite his accident and the difficulties he will face when he gets back home, he still stays strong and is making the most of what he can of the great Buckeye Boys State experience. For Kaleb to suffer through that acci-dent and be able to come back from that just for Boys State truly shows what a great program Buckeye Boys State is.

A press conference was called by Governor Knipper Thursday morning to detail his revised policies
to the public. The foundation for his
program, which he is calling a “three tier policy,” has had a few fundamen-tal changes. Education and infrastruc-ture are still two of the strongest is-sues he is pushing, but he has shifted the focus of his third tier from social security to gun control. All these changes were in response to disagree-ment between the governor and the General Assembly on how these top-ics should be confronted. He said he hoped to find a compromise between these groups and truly create change. When he opened to ques-tions, the governor was reserved over how his new plans were being ac-cepted by the Senate and House. He mentioned that many new arrange-ments were being made in his cabi-net as well as the Assembly, but his reservation on discussing the issues directly made it seem like very little agreement was being made on these arrangements. Knipper was adamant that all the policies he was pushing are for the long-term, so that may be why the concrete foundation everyone was hoping for in their state govern-ment has been slow in coming. The best choice we as the public can take right now though is to put our faith in the officials’ we elected and hope they can.

Not only was DeWine cap-tivated by the famous 1960 race of Kennedy vs. Nixon, but he had a burn-ing passion for it. This was where he nailed home the main part of his mes-sage. He explained to his audience that whatever you do in life, it should be something that you love and has meaning to you. You should be doing something that makes you happy.

He keeps in touch with others through Facebook and Twitter.

Delegates outraged by drinking law
by Cullen Quigley On Wednesday, state high-way patrol was officially obligated to enforce new state laws. However, one law has caused quite the stir. In the Buckeye Boys Constitution within re-vised code under section 4301.62F, it states that any delegate with a Buck-eye Boys State Driver’s License is banned from traveling with the pos-session of a carbonated beverage or fruit flavored bottled beverage. If you have walked around campus, most would notice right away that many delegates have had some kind of carbonated/fruit flavored beverage during travel in the past few days of Boys State. But by the law, these harmless drinks have been con-sidered symbolically “alcoholic” and a hazard to delegate operators by the Department of Public Safety. Since no real alcoholic beverages are permitted on campus grounds, beverages such as Coca Cola, Sprite and Snapple are what serve as replacements for alco-holic beverages. These drinks represent al-cohol and give a simulation of no tolerance for drinking and driving. Thursday has shown many delegates accepting tickets and paying fines. Many new legislators have been bombarded by fellow delegates com-
plaining about the new law. If a state highway patrolman catches a violator, the delegate must pay a fine to accom-modate for the penalty. Many violators have been pulled over by Chiefs or Sheriffs and then receiving a ticket shortly after for the violation. Once someone receives
a ticket, they must face the law direc-tor who will start prosecuting proce-dures. The question of legitimacy has been strongly questioned and many delegates have pressured for an ap-peal of this strange law. Many have called it “ridiculous”, “unrealistic”, and a “nuisance”. The Mayor of Albert City was questioned about this law and he responded with, “In support of my citizenry, I will do whatever it takes to make my people happy.” Delegates who are not employed by the state
sector are very curious as to what will happen to this wacky law whether it will continue with enforcement or a change for appeal.

Knipper started by making a statement in which he expressed his satisfaction in his administration`s performance the previous day.

Some of the states represented there were Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, and even col-leges from as far away as Alabama, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania ar-rived to lend information to the soon-to-be college students. In addition, recruiters and ROTC programs from every branch of the military were in attendance for delegates thinking about entering the service.

Throughout Falcon Heights, Leonard played a solo game of capture the flag. They captured nine flags, giving them 10 flags in their city. They jokingly described this action as liberating the flags from the other cities. The city of Leonard had no malicious intent behind these raids. It was all for fun and games. Despite the light spirited intention behind this, they faced slight consequences. They sat through a silent meeting for thirty minutes, and Friday morning they were the last ones to eat breakfast. Thursday night the cameras were checked by the counselors. Each city whose flag was stolen got their flags back, ending the scandal.

and Canine Unit. Richard is not alone in how expectation and reality didn’t quite meet. Because of the many spots to be filled in the Buckeye Boys State Government many citizens faced sur-prises about their job that they did not expect. Even those who vied for the career of their choice will be undoubt-edly face challenges and workloads that they did not foresee. For example, many of the jobs associated with the banking system at first hinted at a very math-oriented workload due to math being a primary subject on the admissions test. However, after interviewing mul-tiple Buckeye Boys State Bank staff, they all agreed that a math-heavy job was expected. The actual job became focused on paperwork and helping other citizens manage the payment of bills. Some jobs, such as the Clerk Court of Appeals and the govern-ment’s Head Cashier, were flooded with much more work than anticipat-ed in the form of countless checks and searches. Even though the workload may be surprising, the author of this article would like to congratulate all those who were interviewed on the topic of expectation. Yes, some were surprised with differences or irregu-larities, but out of the 20+ individu-als who were interviewed, none had let such changes affect their perfor-mance.

Within history, Buckeye Boys has originated from an individ-ual state fair to a nationwide program. Starting in 1935, two men by the names of Hayes Kennedy and Harold Card created the first Buckeye Boys
Program in the state of Illinois. By the year 1941, thirty four states had ad-opted a Boys States program. To this day, there are currently 49 states with the exception of Hawaii who have a program while students from the Dis-trict of Columbia attend in Maryland or Virginia. With Ohio having the title of the largest Buckeye Boys State, it is amazing how much larger the atten-dance has become over the years. The very first Ohio program started at the Ohio State Fairgrounds with an atten-dance of 440 delegates compared to this year’s attendance of 1,240. Over the decades, Buckeye Boys State has also migrated from different universi-ties. Following is the list of different locations that have hosted the Buck-eye Boys State.Ohio State Fairgrounds (1936-1941),
Ohio Wesleyan University (1942-1943), Otterbein College (1944),
Miami University (1946), Ohio Wes-leyan University (1947-1949), Camp Perry (1950-1958), Ohio University
(1959-1970), Ashland College (1971-1974), Ohio University (1975-1977),
Bowling Green State University (1978-Present)
There has only been two years that Buckeye Boy’s State has not been able to occur. In the year 1945, BBS was forcibly cancelled due to harsh restrictions set by WWII. Then in 1952, a flood prevented the use of Camp Perry and BBS was cancelled. However, this is known to be an annual event since its start in 1936. It is estimated that over 83,000 young men have participated in Ohio Buckeye Boys State from its start with more attendees to come in future years.
Are delegates using free time wisely?
by John Gibson
Throughout the day, del-
egates of Buckeye Boys State are
kept busy with their jobs or various
responsibilities.
However, after a long day
of dedicated work, delegates are given
some free time to take part in various
activities and sports, or even to catch
up on some paperwork or business.
But are delegates truly spending their
free time wisely? Or are they simply
using the time to slack off or take a
nap?
The Hetuck interviewed
several of the Buckeye Boys State
delegates to see what they do dur-
ing their free time during the week.
Most of the delegates said they par-
ticipated in activities such as playing
Frisbee, soccer, discussing politics
and finishing paperwork during their
free time. But some of the delegates
said they spent their free time visiting
the Sweet Shoppe, playing cards and
eating food and relaxing. The Hetuck
also witnessed many of the activities
that took place during free time first-
hand. The observation supported what
the delegates said, and discovered
other things that the delegates do dur-

infrastructure remain intact. Accord-ing to Knipper, the gun control plan has not been fully developed yet. He and his Lieutenant Governor, Colton
Haller, have been discussing this mat-ter privately and are now trying to bring it to the center stage. Knipper did not discuss the reasoning for re-placing social security with gun con-trol, but he said he may go into detail at a separate press conference.Knipper stated, “In my personal opin-ion, it [gun control] is a state issue, because every state is different. New York is going to have different gun control [laws] than Montana . . . but we`re going to work together to find a moderate ground.”This moderate ground is one that Knipper highly supports. He made it very evident that he didn’t want an extreme stance on any piece of leg-

Illegal cock fighting by Dean Clingerman
Illegal cock fights have be-come an issue in the county of Mc-Quigg. It is said that the county does
not support the cock fights, but they understand it has traditional value. However, they will support other rec-reational activities other than these cock fights. These have been going on illegally in the county, and have been a problem. They promise to crack down on these cock fighters, and bring them to justice before the law.
islation because, according to him, extremism “will inherently fail for the majority.”As of now, there is no further word in the development of the Governor`s gun control plan, but all signs would point to the emergence of one in the very near future. In addition to gun control’s emer-gence on Knipper’s agenda, the governor’s initial plan for education reform is in the process of being ad-justed. His proposition for funding public schools from the county level will not be going through the Senate. Alternative solutions have been put forward, including the State Board of Education’s suggestion to raise the in-come tax in order to pass a state-wide levy.When his education plan’s failure to gain support was brought up, said he wasn’t going to say he was always right.“We’re going to search until we find a common ground to be successful,” he said.

The results found by the Hetuck show that while some of the delegates work diligently to get work done during their free time, many of the delegates simply use the time to goof off or re-lax. This could be due to the long days and stressful work that the delegates go through on a typical day at Buck-eye Boys State. While delegates may seem to be using their time wisely, a deeper look showed that this may not
be so true.

On Friday, June 14, 2013 the City of Leonard met with their personal attor-neys and witnesses about the upcom-ing case against Tyler A. Freeman outside the Honorable 2013 Buckeye Boys State Supreme Court at 024A Founder’s Hall. According to both parties Freeman entered Warner County on Wednes-day and proceeded into Leonard City. Once in Leonard City Freeman post-ed and explained a handwritten letter stating that due to several diseases Leonard City will be fined $650,000. On Thursday Freeman came back and handed the city council a typed letter stating what the handwritten letter said and also added additional infor-mation that was not on the handwrit-ten letter. The letter was typed by an unknown city council member of Di-eringer City. When talking about the typed letter Freeman stated in court on Friday “I did not read the letter, I just signed it” and the Attorney Gen-eral Jesse Rines also commented by saying “It is his [Freeman’s] fault for not reading the document “.The City of Leonard stated that Free-man was aggressive towards them and when he came back on Thurs-day he brought Sherriff officers and threatened to use force by the national military and government. CJ Cun-ningham stated in the first court hear-ing “The second visit by Freeman was

unneeded”. Freeman also claimed that that Leonard was angry and hostile to-ward him and his staff that was with him on Thursday.On Friday in the court room there were many witness present includ-ing members of the City of Leonard and both of the nurses from BBS. One nurse stated that “Once blood is dry it is dead and cannot carry any diseas-es.” One piece of evidence that Free-man provided was a pizza box with a bloody rag inside. Freeman stated that the diseases where coming from and found in pizza box on the rag. The nurse also stated that “There is no way any type of virus could have lived in the pizza box with the tem-perature not being correct and any one with the diseases stated in court would not be allowed at Boys State.” The court hearing was recessed at 10:40 A.M. for lunch. Everyone was told to come back at 12:50 P.M. the same day. Once back in session the court ruled that Freeman was going to

be charged with one count of inducing panic which could have hurt the city because no one was sure whether they were under quarantine or were al-lowed to go to work. Freeman is also charged with one count of excessive fine and one count of defamation of city. Freeman was also informed that he needed to pay $115,000 to Leon-ard City. Freeman is also now being charged with grand larceny by the state for not using a private attorney instead of using the Attorney General Rines to represent him.
Knipper addresses issues
of Boys Stateby Cody Wintermute
The State Department held its daily cabinet meeting at 9 A.M. Friday morning with the goal of rais-ing spirits in the office and addressing confusion that has made its way into the state. In his address, Governor Knipper discussed the payroll deba-cle, which plagued both the state of-fices as well as the rest of the working class. With money on the mind, the Governor went on to discuss budget and financing, which he says will be balanced before too long. With doz-ens of departments and hundreds of employees in the state government, a balanced budget is a particularly successful accomplishment for this administration.On the General Assembly, Mr. Knip-

Daniel Joseph of the city of Favreau is being sued by 24 cities for false advertising. Joseph went city to city yesterday selling car insurance for $700. He allegedly told customers that his car insurance is mandatory. On Thursday afternoon, the well-over one hundred customers who pur-chased insurance from Joseph began accusing him of false advertising, stating that his prices were unauthor-ized and his insurance was not man-datory. Joseph currently maintains his innocence. “For one, the insurance agency told me that insurance is man-datory,” he said. “I am basing all my information off of what I was told when I took my test to begin with.” According to Joseph, the

per stated that the executive and legis-lative branches were finally in agree-ment, and education and gun control were gaining more speed than ever before. He added that infrastructure has been moved to the back burner for the time being. He also strongly en-couraged any state sponsored bills to be in his desk for review and submis-sion to Congress no later than the end of Friday. Despite the complex and strenuous roles everyone has been placed in this week, Governor Knip-per strongly promoted optimism in his offices so that everyone could make this experience as memorable as possible. While he was only ad-dressing cabinet with this statement, it can truly be extended to everyone here as Buckeye Boys State.

insurance salesman exam was held on Thursday at 9:30 A.M. He heard it not from any Legionnaire, but by people who were “going around saying, ‘hey, come to this room, come take this test.’” Whether car insurance is mandatory and the other laws of car insurance at Boys State have been hotly debated over the past 24 hours. State Deputy Cody Shaw told us the real rules of car insurance at Boys State. “[Legal] insurance sales should be $300 and if someone is signing the back of your operator’s license, [his insurance] is false.” Daniel Joseph has been proven to have signed the back of customer’s licenses and doz-ens of witnesses attest to his pricing of $700. Joseph has yet to be given a

On Friday, June 14, sources investigated the office of Aaron Rein-ing, the Director of the Department of Aging, from which they secured a to-tal of 91 discarded and scratched out lottery tickets. Each lottery ticket was marked $1.00 and none of them were winners. The same source also noted an extensive pile of shavings thought to have come from the used lottery tickets upon Reining’s desk. As a result of the find, one concerned citizen of the Buckeye Boys State Government had this to say about the Director of Aging who heads a state office in charge of facili-tating the senior citizens of the pro-gram [age 18+]: “He is an honest and decent man with no idea how to spend mon-ey.” To be fair, the private of

spending the American dollar is not only legal but encouraged in a capi-talistic market. Even though gam-bling may not be the healthiest way to spend $91.00 it is still a legitimate purchase with Reining’s own money. Allegedly, Reining has also purchased 2,000 BSD [Buckeye State Dollars] worth of raffle tickets and was audited for the absence of campaign funds. But having said this, it makes one wonder about the Direc-tor’s management of money within his jurisdiction and the use of the Buckeye Boys State currency. One such concern is the alleged proposed transaction between the Department of Aging and Bangham city. Accord-ing to anonymous sources, Bangham city officials came to Reining who then proposed donating 250,000 BSD

This year at Buckeye Boys State will be the last for long-time Legionnaire known as Ralph Waite. He has his own city named after him in Warner County and plays videos over in Falcon Heights about different stories of war. Ralph Waite has been helping out the Buckeye Boys State program since 1968. Ralph Waite worked at his family funeral home until he retired in 2000. He was on Medina’s school board of education and he was in-volved with the boy scouts for twenty years. He also helped out with rotary exchange and was able to help many foreign exchange students. Ralph Waite was a Buck-eye Boys State delegate in 1943 at Ohio State University. Little did he know that he would be signing up for the army in one year. He started basic training for field artillery in the Army on June 20, 1944. The training was seventeen weeks long and after it was complete he was ready to face the challenges ahead of him. He had a ten day delay en route to his hometown Medina, Ohio. He then spent four weeks in Fort Main Marylyn. Next he set sail at the age of eighteen on the Queen Merry, one of the few ships that did not have escorts. The ship made it to Scotland without any trouble. Ralph and his fellow soldiers made their way to England and to France in January of 1945. Ralph Waite was part of the 99 infantry division and was there for the Battle of the Bulge. His infantry also were in one of last big battles of the war the Crossing of the Rhine. His infantry was then sent to Volo-chok, which was a city in Germany. A D-day outfit came into the city to
send people home. Ralph Waite was not one of those people. He stayed there until the Fourth Infantry came to interview to find men for the inva-sion of Japan. He received training for the invasion of Japan. But after the atom bomb was dropped, he no longer needed to go. After two years in the Army he was able to get out in the May of 1946. He was a sergeant in rank. When he attended Buckeye Boys State in 1943, he was one out of 400 and he had a great deal of respect and admiration for the World War I vets that were there during his time. He loved how they taught him and the other young men so much about how government works. He decided that he wanted to be able to help out and keep the program going. The mayor of Medina helped him to get involved with Buckeye Boys State. Mr. Waite felt that the young people needed to be part of government and learn about it as much as they could. After he got involved he fell in love with the program. He was the President of Boys State in 2005. When he retired he had full time to devote to the program. Ralph Waite has done abun-dance for the Boys State program. Ralph is one of the people who have helped make Buckeye Boys State the best it could be. He believes that this program helps make a difference. He is a great man, a beloved veteran and will be missed.

Richard is a BBS State Trooper who expected his job would mainly be arresting citizens through-out the day. In reality, his job resulted in a more educational experience such as practicing marches and patrolling the quiet campus of Bowling Green University. His job also had its un-mentioned educational perks such as meeting with an actual S.W.A.T. team and Canine Unit. Richard is not alone in how expectation and reality didn’t quite meet. Because of the many spots to be filled in the Buckeye Boys State Government many citizens faced sur-prises about their job that they did not expect. Even those who vied for the career of their choice will be undoubt-edly face challenges and workloads that they did not foresee. For example, many of the jobs associated with the banking system at first hinted at a very math-oriented workload due to math being a primary subject on the admissions test. However, after interviewing mul-tiple Buckeye Boys State Bank staff, they all agreed that a math-heavy job was expected. The actual job became focused on paperwork and helping other citizens manage the payment of bills. Some jobs, such as the Clerk Court of Appeals and the govern-ment’s Head Cashier, were flooded with much more work than anticipat-ed in the form of countless checks and searches. Even though the workload may be surprising, the author of this article would like to congratulate all those who were interviewed on the topic of expectation. Yes, some were surprised with differences or irregu-larities, but out of the 20+ individu-als who were interviewed, none had let such changes affect their perfor-mance.

Had the transaction actu-ally been approved or gone unnoticed it would have easily fallen under the definition of a state government giv-ing unnecessary money to a local gov-ernment with the suggestion of using the money for means and actions be-sides those that had been prescribed.

As delegates and counselors from cities in all parts of Buckeye Boys’ State filed into the Kinold County court room for the highly anticipated trial threatening to dissolve the Boys’ State bank, the tension grew inside the court room outside of the public
eye. Kinold County was suing the bank for anti-trust practices and vio-lation of chapter 1331 of the Ohio Re-vised Code, stating the rules of trusts and monopoly. “The Buckeye Boys’ State Bank’s business practices are prohibitive to competition and illegal under Ohio law,” said Kinold Assis-tant County Prosecutor Luke Brant-ingham. The drama began as soon as the bank’s head attorney, James Burns, entered Judge of Common Pleas Shane Richardson’s court room, de-claring Kinold County’s misfiled pa-perwork, or more accurately, lack of paperwork. While Kinold filed the summons to the bank, it did not file the law coding of what the bank vio-lated to the bank nor the judge. “If it wasn’t for word on the street, we wouldn’t know what we were sued for, and it doesn’t count if it’s not on paper,” said Burns. Richardson declared the case dismissed, and the Kinold officials immediately decided to re-file for the case. Questioned
by Burns on the necessity for a sec-ond trial, Brantingham responded, “Our job is to uphold the law.” As Brantingham exited the court room, Austin Nagy, head of Buckeye Legal Firm and Burns’ assistant on the case, shouted “Make sure you actually cite laws this time!” Tension continued to grow as time went on, and Branting-ham promised to be back for a retrial of the case that controls so much of Boys’ State.
