GOSA November 18 Board Meeting
Happy Holidays!
2005 OFMA Convention Schedule
The holiday season is upon us and we find ourselves caught up in the hustle of the shop­
ping season. Economists are predicting a brisk season for the retailers, and if any of you
were out Friday after Thanksgiving, you know the parking lots were full.
Your board has been very busy in preparation for the upcoming O.F.M.A. convention.
We will be providing numerous workshops to help our members in their day to day oper­
ations as well as our fellow OFMA members. Here are a few highlights:
o
On Tuesday, January 4, Erin Nyhan ofClEE will be explaining everything you need
to know about hiring foreign students. We are also wrapping up our workshop
geared toward fairboard and fair managers, titled "In search of a better bottom line."
o
We have a great panel set up to share ideas and techniques. Our goal is to substi­
tute rent increases with some proven ideas, so all fairs listen up and plan on attend­
ing this session on Wednesday, January 5.
o
The annual meeting will be held in the Fairfield Room (across from the G.O.S.A.
office) on Tuesday at 3 pm.
o
Immediately following the annual meeting will be the firstAnnual Membership
Appreciation Night, at the second floor lounge.
o
The convention will wrap up on Wednesday night with the Extravaganza. This
year's entertainment will be provided by the Van Dells. They will provide two great
sets of music for your listening and dancing enjoyment.
Don't wait any longer to buy your chance to win the big money in the Reverse Raffle.
There are only a few tickets left.
T would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas season and hope to see you
all at the convention.
Thanks, Bob

Treasurer Suzanne McCarty, Trustees:
Michael Albanese, Tony
Albanese, Brent Bair, Stan Connell, Dave Gallapoo, Doug Gliinsler,
Kurt Otterbacher, Ray Prowant, Todd Sipe, and Bill Sterling.
GUESTS PRESENT: Shane Comer
President Bill Prowant called the meeting to order with the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Roll call was taken. Bill welcomed everyone and thanked guest
Shane Comer for attending.
Minutes of the October meeting were approved with a motion made
by Doug Guinsler and seconded by Ray Prowant. Motion carried.
The Annual Financial Report was presented. Secretary-Treasurer
Suzanne McCarty asked for any questions concerning the content and
format of the report. A motion to approvc the annual report was made
by Ray Prowant and seconded by Kurt Otterbacher. Motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS:
The program for the upcoming Ohio Fair Managers Association
Convention was reviewed. The details for each session topic were
discussed. The possibility of hosting a hospitality event for the
membership and promotion of our organization on Tuesday following
the annual meeting was discussed. The event will take place in the
second floor lounge and will include a band for entertainment and
banners advertising our organization. It was decided that each board
member should attempt to obtain at least one $100.00 sponsorship to
assist with the costs for this event. Sponsors will be recognized in the
newsletter, yearbook, on the website, at the annual meeting and on
banners and signs at the event.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Jim Truex from the Ohio
Department of Agriculture Ride Safety Division joined the meeting to
provide an update on the accident in Lake County. Mr. Truex reportcd
that inspector Ted Brubaker had been sentenced to 15 days in jail for the
charge of dereliction of duty and inspector Kalin Turner's sentencing will
be held on December 17,2004. Mr. Truex said that the Department of
Agriculture fully supports both inspectors and will continue to do so.
While at the meeting, he also mentioned that the meeting with our games
rules committee went well and that a games workshop is being planned
for sometime in 2005.
Membership benefits provided by the organization were reviewed.
All benefits are still in existence at this time. Stan Connell reported that
in order to receive full credit for the organization for purchases in the
Pepsi program, each member must call Pepsi and have them credit
purchases to the G.O.S.A. parent number.
NEW BUSINESS:
Members of the games committee that recently met with O.D.A.,
gave a report on the meeting. They reported that the build-ups within
some games would be done away with. It was mentioned that most
problems with games occur after the O.D.A. inspectors have left the
grounds of the event. A workshop geared toward fair managers will be
held in 2005 so that better policing of games can occur.
President Bill Prowant reported on the introduction of House Bill
HR4190 by Congressman Edward Markey. The bill proposes a federal
law requiring the Department of Labor to make the minimum age of ride
operators be J 8 years old. At this point no changes have taken place.
A report was given on the O.FE.A. Convention held recently in
Columbus. Board members that attended distributed yearbooks and
membership applications.
A report was given on the O.FM.A. meeting held earlier in the
month. An update was given concerning the Extravaganza event. The
silent auction items will be placed in the foyer area outside the Regency
Ballroom. The entertainment for the event has not yet been finalized but
it will most likely be either Phil Dirt and the Dozers performing a
different show than last year or the Van Dells. Dates for 2005 Spring
District meetings were also announced. They are as follows: Districts 1
and 2 on April 2nd, Districts 5 and 9 on April 3rd, locations for both to
be announced later; Districts 7 and 8 on April 9th in Zanesville and
Districts 3, 4, and 6 on April 10th in Washington Court House.
Discussion was held on budget availability for future projects and the
need to watch our funds while planning these projects. The possibility
of offering additional Life Memberships to the organization was
mentioned. Further details and ideas will be reviewed at future
meetings.
Brent Bair mentioned that someone interested in sell ing our yearbook
advertising in the future contacted him. He will get fUl1her information
on this possibility.
Possible award nominations for this year were discussed briefly.
Awards will be voted on at the December meeting.

B. Roundup Committee-A report on the income and winners from the

everyone that supports the organization by making donations was
discussed. Further information will be provided at the December meeting.

Thanks, Bob
Just thought we should say farewell to a friend, business associate and
perhaps the "World's Greatest Raffle Ticket Seller." The G.O.S.A. family
has lost a friend in Bob Keating.
Bob's passion for the Outdoor Amusement Business was unparalleled,
even as his health was failing his first question was "how is your new item
going')" Bob was always going forward, never looking back.
We realize that so many of you have so many Bob stories. lfhe wasn't
organizing a trip somewhere, he was arriving somewhere else with a car
full of steaks, shrimp or "Tipsy Olives." Always giving. Of course, there
was the ever-present "Raffle Ticket," you did not ever ask for what, just
how much because you knew it was always for a good cause.
As one famous Bob from Ohio's theme song said, "Thanks for the
memories." Bob sure gave a whole lot of people that. Thanks Bob!
Wait a minute ... Hey ... Who's going to sell the tickets? Can't you just
hear Bob say ... "You big @#&%@# I've got yours already."
Save a ticket for us Bob.

Things Not To Say
When Hanging The Lights
Did you know that hanging lights on a Christmas tree is one of the
three most stressful situations in an on-going relationship?
Psychiatrists claim the other two danger zones are teaching your mate
to drive and wallpapering. They are rarely wrong on these things. We
rush to print with an emergency prompt list of Things Not To Say When
Hanging Lights on the Christmas Tree.
"You've got two red lights right next to each other, dummy. You're sup­
posed to go yellow, green, red, blue, not yellow, red, red, green,
blue... "
• "Up a little higher. YOll can reach it. Go on, try."
"What the hell do you do to these lights when you put them away
every year? Tie them in knot?"
THURSDAY, JANUARY 6
8:00-10:00am
G.O.S.A. Office Open
"Come away from that aluminum ladder, kids. I'm going to fry that
sucker."
"If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all. Don't just throw
them on, like you do the icicles. You're worse than your father."
"Give me that!"
• "You've got the whole thing on the tree upside-down. The electric
pluggee thing should be down here at the bottom, not up at the top."
"I don't care if you have found another two strings, I'm done!"
"You've just wound 'em around and around - I thought we agreed it
shouldn't look like a spiral this year?"
"Have you been drinking?"
• "Where's the cat?"

INSPECTORS FOUND GUILTY
IN LAKE COUNTY
Ted Brubaker, O.D.A. Ride and Game Inspector from Bellevue, was
found guilty by a judge in Lake County last month. He was sentenced
to, and has served, 15 days in jail. Ted Brubaker and Kalin Turner pled
no contest to the misdemeanor in exchange for the prosecution dropping
the charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide. The plea
was also supposed to eliminate any possible jail time, but the judge
apparently disagreed.
The significance of the plea bargain is ultimately the dropping of
felony charges. The State of Ohio does not employ anyone with a felony
record. The sentence, although it surprisingly included jail time, will
allow the two inspectors to keep their jobs in the O.D.A. Department of
Ride Safety.
Kalin Turner is due for sentencing this month. Attorneys for the
inspectors speculate that he will receive a similar sentence to Mr.
Brubaker. Because of the timing, it is possible that Inspector Turner
could spend the Christmas holiday in jail.
Mentor electrician Nick Rock was convicted earlier of reckless homi­
cide and involuntary manslaughter for not following state electrical
codes. He is appealing his conviction and is seeking a new trial.
Jim Truex, the head of the O.D.A. Ride Inspection Department, has
been in close contact with the G.O.S.A. Board concerning the Lake
County situation. He is very disturbed by the events. He takes particu­
lar issue with the fact that the inspectors have been convicted of derelic­
tion of duty, but nobody from Lake County has contacted his office to
ascertain what their duties actually are.
The two inspectors have their own private attorneys, but their defense
is being funded by the state. Mr. Truex is not certain what action will be
taken by the inspectors, the O.D.A., or the state as a result of these con­
victions.
The G.O.S.A. Board has been monitoring this issue with utmost care
and scrutiny. At some junctures, the Board has considered taking spe­
cific action, but we have deferred to the O.D.A. in waiting for the current
process to come to its conclusion. It has been speculated that small-town
politics has played a role in the way blame has been placed in this
tragedy.
As a result of the Lake County tragedy, the O.D.A. Ride Inspection
reports have been changed in some areas to reduce the possibility of this
kind of litigation. This case may also have judicial implications as cases
against ride inspectors are now pending in other states. The precedent
established in Lake County might have an adverse effect on ride inspec­
tors (or any inspectors) throughout the country.
The G.O.S.A. Board welcomes the thoughts of the membership on
this issue and we will continue to keep the organization informed on any
new developments.
