Meet David My name is David Featheringill. My friends call me
―Feathers‖. I was born on April 17, 1952 and I‘m 56.
Since I was a child, I have been told I have hypothyroidism and mild mental retardation. I still live on the 120
acre farm where I grew up. My mom, dad, sister, and I
raised cattle, hogs, sheep, and chickens. I also learned
how to drive the tractor. I went to Arlington schools and
graduated in 1971.
I‘ve been working at Staples for nearly 4 years. Before
Staples, I worked on a chinchilla farm and on the cleaning crew at the Municipal building. I also have a couple
of part time jobs, one of which is working for Hurricane
Trucking in Findlay, cleaning their office and running
errands.
My favorite job of all is my job as Assistant Athletic
Director at Arlington High School. I work with the football coaches. I also help during the basketball season by
making sure the referees get on and off the floor safely. I
also help out during the spring sports season, but my real
love is football. On days I‘m not working at Staples,
you‘ll find me coaching from 7AM till noon and on the
days I work at Staples, I go to coaches‘ meetings after I
get off work.
In 1997 I was given the ―Mr. Red Devil Award‖ for 25
years of service to Arlington Athletics, and this is my
36th year of working with the Arlington Athletic Department. In 1998, I was given the ―Fan in the Stands Award‖ and inducted into the Hancock County Hall of Fame. My
work with the Athletic Department has allowed me to meet and talk with a few college coaches, like Woody Hayes,
Earl Bruce, Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller, Lloyd Carr, Jim Tressel, and Lou Holtz when he was at Notre Dame.
I‘ve also gone to coaching clinics at Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. I‘ve even met some well-known players like Phil Villapiano, who played football at BGSU and for the Oakland Raiders, at golf outings with coaches.
I go to BGSU home games and have been to OSU home games and even some Michigan home
games with other coaches. But I‘m definitely a Buckeye fan. I even know the Courier sportswriters
and have been interviewed by WFIN‘s Chris Miller last year on ―Sports Talk‖.
Last year, to help the Arlington Senior class go to New York and put money in the scholarship
fund, they sold a ―Feathers‖ bobblehead doll. Out of the original 4000 dolls ordered, there are only
a few left. Not only was the Senior class able to go to New York, the fundraiser put about $1500
into the scholarship fund. Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel signed my bobblehead. If you are
interested in having one of your own bobbleheads, please contact Dottie Wehrle in the high school
office by calling 419.365.5121. You can purchase one for $10 or one with my autograph for $15.
Last season was nice ‗cause the football team went 3 games into the playoffs. The team should be
ok this year. We lost a good Senior class, but we‘re just reloading.
I‘ve got a lot of friends around, especially in Arlington, ―old buddy, old pal‖.

This is to alert you to two opportunities of which you may
or may not already be aware.
Any and all are welcome and
encouraged to attend one or
both events.
The Ohio SIBS conference
will run November 7-8, 2008,
at the Airport Marriott in Columbus. This conference, supported by the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council,
County Boards of MRDD, and
Ohio State University Nisonger Center, is designed to give
adult siblings of people with
disabilities an opportunity to
meet one another and develop
networks of support, information and friendship. In sessions
dealing with future planning,
coping with the loss of a loved
one, assistive technology, and
housing, siblings will become
better informed decision makers and learn necessary tools to
prepare and secure the future
health and well being of their
brothers and sisters, themselves, their families, and their
communities.
This year, in conjunction with
the SIBS conference, we'll be
holding the National Sibling
Leadership Network Conference on November 6-7, also at
the Marriott. This conference
is for adult siblings of people
with disabilities interested in
becoming more effective advocates for their brothers and
sisters and for other people
with disabilities. Meant to
develop and unify a constituency of siblings interested in
networking, policy and legislation, this event will feature
lobbyists, researchers, practitioners, filmmakers and others
coming together to discuss
topics ranging from influencing legislation and policy, to
siblings' roles in selfdetermination, to developing
community-based adult sibling
programs. Anyone interested in
becoming a better informed and
more efficient advocate for people with disabilities should attend this conference!
More information, in various
forms, will follow, including on
our website,
www.ohiosibs.com. For more
information before then--about
either or both of these conferences--please contact Dr. Tom
Fish (fish.1@osu.edu) at the
Ohio State University Nisonger
Center, or myself, Nick Hetrick,
at nicholas.hetrick@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you
at these exciting and enriching
events.

BVI—Recreation Department!
The last couple of months
have been filled with lots of
things. The picnic was held on
June 27th and it was a great
time. We have gone to see
how apple butter and jelly are
made. We have made trips to
the Toledo Zoo and Columbus
Zoo. We also attended the
annual Bratwurst Festival in
Bucyrus. One thing that I can
tell you is that East Harbor

have loved it. In September we
have the fall picnic that we are

will be held at the Lighthouse.
We also have plans to go to a

tell you what a joy it is to watch
everyone experience different
things.

Cheers and tears were in evidence on Thursday, August 7th
at the opening of the new
Multi-Sensory Playroom at the
Special Kids Therapy (SKT)
Headquarters building at 1333
Lima Avenue, here in Findlay.
The crowd of approximately
200 people witnessed the cutting of the ribbon by the Hancock Leadership Class of
2008…the same class that
adopted this project entailing
months of fund raising, planning, publicity, sweat-equity
and community relations.
Filled with highly specialized
equipment that challenges an
entire range of sensory perceptions, the room has been a goal
of SKT since its beginning in
2001. Driven by the energy
and dreams of SKT‘s Executive Director, Karen Rettig,
and her entire family and most
especially by SKT board
member Michelle Votaw, the
Playroom will now fulfill the
need for a uniquely positioned
―hang-out‖ space for people
with special needs and can be
used in groups, by individual
families or by therapists.
The SKT Multi-Sensory Play-
Acoustical ball pit
large platform swing that a
child can lay on and swing
while special music plays…. a
tactile board with different
surfaces that a blind child can
touch and wonder at… a mirage projector that throws
wondrous lights and patterns
across the wall of a darkened
room… a large soft floor
rocker that provides gentle
motion…even a WII and a
large screen to experience interactive play challenges. And
much more!
SKT is a nonprofit organization with a mission to serve
individuals with various developmental, physical and/or
emotional difficulties, and
their families, by providing
funding that is denied by traditional insurance or governmental agencies for therapies
in areas that are effective and
necessary but not necessarily
included in the realms of what
is considered to be traditional
medicine. These might include such things as day
camps for the children, massage therapy, animal therapy,
various forms of sensory
stimulation and other alternative services that have proven
to work, depending on the
needs of the particular child
and family involved.
SKT’s Family Fun Day
SKT‘s Family Fun Day which
features an entire day of
planned activities for up to 30
families, including individuals
with special needs was held on
August 9th at the Camp Berry
Boy Scout camp just outside of
Findlay. With a great turnout
of families and volunteers, over
200 people spent a busy day
participating in a wide variety
of activities such as archery,
pony rides, massage therapy,
reflexology, games, swimming,
crafts and wagon rides.
were provided. The entire
event is provided at no cost for
the families involved.
Special Note:
Dozens of
skilled volunteers from across
the community worked hard to
insure a successful event.
Much of the funding for the
day was supplied by Findlay
Area Civitan, well known at
Blanchard Valley Center for
the funding of many projects
here.
For more information concerning the Multi-Sensory Play
Room, SKT or any of its activities please go to

or call (419) 422-5607. SKT
is open from 10 am to 4 pm,
Tuesday through Thursday or
alternatively by special appointment.

was the first year in a long
time that everyone got to cheer
the runners. They made a stop
in the parking lot, and greeted
the clients.
My, where has the summer
gone? School is about to begin, and our sports begin another new year! We wait and
wait for the State Summer
Games, and they have come
and gone, and for this year, it
was another great year, to say
the least.
In my 26th straight year of
doing the state summer games,
I have to say this was one of
the easiest. I don‘t know why,
but things really went
smoothly, with great weather,
lots of medals and ribbons,
good food (that depends on
who you ask), no injuries, no

Masonic Support of Special Olympics Ties All-Time High
For the second consecutive
year, the Ohio Masons donated
$200,000 to the Ohio Special
Olympics to help finance their
annual Summer Games in Columbus.
―A total of $200,000 in our
200th year has a nice ring to
it,‖ Grand Master Ronald L.
Winnett said. ―That equals
$1,000 for each year of our
existence.‖
The Grand Master, Grand
Lodge Officers and other dignitaries from the Fraternity led
a procession of about 400 Masons into Jesse Owens Stadium on the Ohio State University campus in June to help
kickoff the 2008 Summer
Games. They were followed
by the parade of athletes in the
traditional opening ceremonies.
As part of the ceremony, Grand
Master Winnett presented an
oversized check for the
$200,000 to the Special Olympics. $2052 was received by the
Hancock County Special Olympics to help with the $4680 cost
of this years State Summer
Games. BVC staff member
Jerry Lantz belongs to Fostoria
Lodge #288.

On Saturday night, we all enjoyed our trip to Magic Mountain. Everyone enjoyed the
race cars, miniature golf, pizza
and games, (ask Cara or Kathy

Everyone had a good time, and
they‘re already talking about
next year, and who will get
chosen to go.
Congratulations to our Unified
Golf team who took 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd in the Area golf tournament in Napoleon. They will
now move on to State in September, and golf in Cincinnati
on Sept. 16 & 17 at the
Meadow Links Golf Academy.
Our unified teams consist of
Chris C & Benji B, Rodney B
& Bob S, and Jeff S & Carmen
S. Good luck to the teams in
Cincinnati!! And ―thank you,
Bob‖ for the time you spend
working with our golfers.
Coming up on Aug. 16, will be
the annual 5K Run sponsored
by the Findlay Striders, and
NWO Sports Medicine. That
will take place on Saturday
morning during the Up, Up,
and Away Findlay Balloon
Fest, held at Emory Adams
Park. As a result of the run,
Special Olympics is the recipient of a donation from their
run. Last year I was presented
with a check for $6000.00!!!
Upcoming Special Olympic
sports include: swimming
starting up in Sept, bowling in
Oct, and basketball, late Oct
and early Nov.

adoption of the
Findlay City School calendar.
Starting the new school year with
the ―Where‘s Molly‖ film and the
presentations by Jackie Walsh and
Jane Mintun focused us on the individuals we serve and their families. I know I was touched by
Molly and her brother‘s story.
Jackie and Jane shared how their
brothers affected their lives and
really brought home the joys and
challenges of having a sibling with
developmental disabilities. Kelly
Miller‘s story of how Early Intervention services helped her son
was inspiring.

You all can be proud of the strides
Blanchard Valley Center has
made this past year and look forward to a terrific new year. We
continue to emphasize communication with the individuals we
serve, their families, providers,
other agencies and the community. This newsletter is just one
example of our reaching out to
provide more information to
everyone. Soon we will be
―unveiling‖ some ideas our Public
Awareness Committee has created
to communicate our mission statement and logo.
Cooperation…It has been heartening to see you reaching out to
each other to prevent and solve
problems together, to lend a helping hand, and to try new ideas to
improve the services we provide.
This spring, Early Intervention
staff reviewed and made some
revisions to our approach to providing services to these little ones.
They revised their scheduled and
arranged to offer EI services in
the evening one day per week.
BVRC—Saying Goodbye
Audrey Richcreek is retiring after
19 years from Blanchard Valley
Residential. Audrey has been a
huge asset to our department. She
has worked in all the homes, but
primarily in the Eibling
home. Audrey is known for her
kindness, positive attitude, dedication, and her willingness to go that
extra mile to help any of the residents. Audrey will be greatly
missed by all the residents as well
as the staff that worked with
her. We all wish Audrey well!
Happy Retirement,
Audrey!!
Adult Services will be changing
its program to offer a variety of
non-work opportunities via a
block schedule program.
BVRS is implementing an exciting new Caretracker system
which should reduce paperwork, increase accuracy of
documentation and most importantly allow more time for residential interaction. Transportation has demonstrated a commitment to working with the
SSA Department to develop
and use RESPECT plans for
our riders who need this type of
support.
Finally, we are seeing more
collaboration which will benefit the individuals we serve and
their families. I hope you will
welcome some of the students
from the University of Findlay
who will be volunteering here.
Also we will see some students
from BGSU. Because of the
efforts of our SSA Department,
one of our seniors just recently
was approved for a PASSPORT
waiver which allows her to receive in-home services through
the Area Agency on Aging Program. With the closure of our
therapy pool at BVS, it appears
we will be partnering with Birchaven to use their pool.
Human Resources, Fiscal, and
IT have also worked to exemplify these characteristics. I
know folks have commented to
me on the willingness these
departments to support not only
the individuals we serve but
also our staff.
Above are just a few examples
of the wonderful work you do
each and every day here at
BVC. Thank you for your dedication, hard work and commitment to the individuals we
serve!

Kohl’s Distribution Center
On March 24, 2008, five associates from Kohl‘s Distribution Center volunteered at Blanchard Valley Center.
Through the Kohl‘s Cares for Kids program, BVC was eligible to apply for a grant in the amount of $500. On
June 16, 2008 BVC was notified that they were the recipients of this grant.
Kohl‘s strongly believes in supporting communities nationwide. As a family-oriented company, Kohl‘s dedicates
its charitable efforts to improving health and educational opportunities for children nationwide, through the
Kohl‘s Cares for Kids program. Due to the success of this program, and because of great partnerships with local
non-profit organizations, Kohl‘s is able to help children across the country. To learn more about all of the ways Kohl‘s supports kids
and how you can participate in their program, visit www.kohlscorporation.com.
On behalf of the Long Term Recovery Committee of Hancock County, OH (LTRC), we thank Blanchard Valley Center and Industries for donating a Welcome sign, cookies and friendship bracelets to our
volunteers assisting us in helping restore local families to safe, sanitary and secure housing.
As you have seen firsthand, families in our community are still reeling from the devastation of recent
flooding and your efforts are important to their healing process. Being a primarily volunteer organization, we could not accomplish
this important mission without people like you.
Our community thanks you for the many things you have donated to help flood-affected families to move toward peace and healing.
Sincerely, Karen Simko, LTR Volunteer Coordination Sub-Committee
BVRC Resident of the Month—July
I would like to nominate Jackie Hickle as employee of the month. When I started working at BVRC 8 years
ago as a Recreation Specialist, I was told ―good luck getting Jackie out of her room to go anywhere with
you‖. Back then Jackie preferred to keep to herself. Over the years I have seen Jackie grow into a wonderful
person. She is now very outgoing and helpful with others.
I receive calls from her BVI supervisor letting me know how she was helping in her group or how many parts
she is doing. It is always a glowing report.
Jackie herself now likes to brag about the good things she is doing. She will come into my office each morning with a big smile on her face and tell me how she had helped staff the night before or how she helped one of
her peers with something. I think Jackie should be very proud of herself and all of her accomplishments.
BVRC Resident of the Month—August
Wayne has been a long-time employee of Blanchard Valley Industries, and as a member of the A-7 Hab
group has never done any jobs that he made an hourly wage for. Recently Wayne started painting for the
Kan-Do Studio and making an hourly wage. The first week of June, Wayne‘s first star was put together
and sold. He also has three other fine art pieces that have been made, two of which were displayed at the
Easton Art Fair in Columbus at the end of June. The staff in Graf Men are very proud of Wayne and his
artistic accomplishments.
BVC Employee of the Month—July
Linda Kohler went over and
above the call of duty, taking
over extra duties before accreditation – in the absence of
staff – in addition to her own
full-time responsibilities. The
agency may not have survived
without her.
BVC Employee of the Month—August
Thias Bermudez has worked at BVC for several
years and as come a long way over the
years. She has become an ideal staff person in
her area. Thias advocate for the individual‘s
best interest at all times. Recently, when she
was helping an individual there was a conflict
between staff, instead of getting involved in the
conflict and forgetting what was best for the
individual, Thias handled the situation very professionally and it worked. It
is nice to see staff truly here for the right reason.
