Extra thanks to those of you who

Cub Scouts, Pack 933 Cubmaster Kim King
As our scouting year winds down for
the summer, I am proud to say that 40 out
of 42 scouts earn their rank with 4 of those
scouts crossing over to Troop 933. With
summer approaching, we have plenty of fun
planned for our summertime activities. In
May we participated in the North Lawrence
Memorial Day Parade where 28 out of 38
scouts threw candy to those standing along
the parade route. In June the scouts will
attend Hetuck District Day camp and We-
belos Resident Camp (WRC) at Seven
Ranges. July holds more fun and excitement
while attending the M.A.P.S museum. In Au-
gust the pack will have a weekend family
campout where we will hold a scavenger
hunt! As September rolls around we will
recruit new scouts at our “Join Scout
Night” to get the scouting year started. If
you know anyone interested in joining the
pack please have them contact Kim King at
330-705-7397.
Adopt into Ohio law the federal definition of an
automatic weapon. If we have an anti-gun
president in the future, then they could de-
termine that AR-15’s should be banned at a
federal level then Ohio law would follow
the same ban.
Takes away the right to buy or possess a gun if
a person is convicted of domestic violence
or subject to a protection order.
Outlaw armor-piercing ammunition in Ohio.
Increase the penalty for buying a gun for some-
one who is barred form owning one. The
penalty would be increased from 18 months
to 10 years of prison time. Ohio Senate Bill 260, initiated February 20, 2018 by
Skindell (D), Tavares (D), “prohibits a person from
knowingly acquiring an assault weapon; requires
Attorney General to have a database for firearm/
ammunition sales.” The bill defines an “assault
weapon” as a firearm capable of a fixed or detacha-
ble magazine with the capacity of 10 or more car-
tridges. You can follow Ohio’s firearm legislative
proposals at the following web site: legiscan.com/

NLFG Retirees Club…Jeff
Barnhart president By Ed Harhager The Retirees club has had a very successful spring
season and we are all looking forward to our
summer meetings. More people are hearing of
the fun at this meeting and our turnout is surely
growing. A few highlights from our spring meetings are
noted below: Dennis Earl recently purchased a primitive
long bow with arrows which he brought
to the March meeting. The design is from
Native Americans of the North Eastern
Delaware tribes. It had a unique design
painted from earth paints that were au-
thentic to the period. It was designed to
25 # draw with a draw length specific for
Dennis. The bow is made of hickory and
the tapered arrows were made of Lodge
Poll pine with turkey feather fletching.
This bow uses the “Archers Paradox” as
do most long bows for directing the ar-
rows to the target. “Google it” if you
aren’t aware of this phenomenon.
The Retirees voted to contribute $ 50 for a
plaque to honor Veryl Tersky and his fam-
ily.
The group brought their favorite calls to the
March meeting for a mix of vocals from
turkey to crow.
Our April meeting set a new attendance rec-
ord of 46 attendees.
John Olenzac presented a portion of his 2,000
piece Indian artifacts collection at the
April meeting. The collection included
“bird point” arrowheads, large game ar-
rowheads, chipping and scraping tools,
ornamental pieces that depict a hierarchy
within the tribe, weight artifacts for fishing
nets, a war head and much more. The
most interesting piece was a spearpoint,
estimated to be 2,000 – 3,000 years old,
that was awarded 1 st place for a “Field
Find” by the archeological society. A large
part of the collection was found in the
Fox Lake area, on the east side of Wayne
county.
Jeff Barnhart displayed a petrified heart, found
in Texas, which was estimated between
10,000 and 1,000,000 years old. It was
large in size, from an unknown ancient
species. The Retirees club meets on the first Thursday of
each month in the club house at 10:00 AM. No
cost to join us. We even have free donuts and
coffee…surely beats the McDonalds retiree club.
No reservations required, just show up and have
a good time. All in all, it’s just a bunch of “Good Young Boys”
getting together to tell their stories and have
some fun at “the club”. We have a 50/50 raffle,
we have a show and tell each month, and we tell
some very interesting stories. Come try us
out!...We can use some new stories!
