Flxible building acquired by area entrepreneur Flxible building acquired by area entrepreneur By JIM BREWER Joseph Shrock, the area Amish entrepreneur whose businesses include Shrock Premier Construction in downtown Loudonville, and the Mohican Country Market on Ohio 3 south, has purchased the old Flxi- ble Company facility in Loudonville. The building, vacant since Motor Coach Indus- tries (MCI) ceased opera- tions there last summer, was purchased from a hold- ing company, Shrock said. “I bought the building for the property, but as a term of the sale, had to accept all material in it,” Shrock said. Because of this, Shrock’s first act as owner will be to sell all of that material. This will be done at auc- tion 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 13. Kauffman Realty in Sugarcreek will conduct the auction, Shrock said, “with as many of five auction rings operating at the same time.” After the auction, Shrock plans to move several of his business properties into the building. “We will move Rainbow Restoration, a cleaning ser- vice specializing in after- disaster cleanup, into the front end of the building (facing North Market Street), and later move my Shrock Prefab walls and trusses business, (now housed at 23403 College Hill Road west of Jelloway in northeastern Knox County) into the portion of the building north of the bridge in the plant over Humm Avenue,” he said. “Folks who worked at the Flxible will remember this area as the shipping and receiving, and ware- house, departments. “We would hope to be able to make the move by the end of the year, but we are so busy in our plant right now that we may not be able to do it that quickly,” Shrock added. Shrock’s Prefab business is one of the largest cold form steel wall panel manu- facturers in the Midwest. Its specialty, Shrock said, “is building motels, hotels and office buildings between three and 15 stories tall.” Shrock said he did not in- tend to increase employ- ment in his enterprises, “unless growth in our busi- ness requires it. About 18 people are now working at our Prefab operation, and those jobs will come to Loudonville.” Shrock will also relocate the excavat-ing portion of his construction business into the old Flxible Test and Development (T & D) wing of the flxible building, the large garage type building facing East Campbell Street south of the main plant. “My construction fore- man can’t wait to house our equipment there,” Shrock said. “It is a perfect facility for working on heavy equipment, designed for work on huge Flxible tran- sit city buses.” Shrock said his businesses will utilize about two-thirds of the space in the Flxible plant, “meaning we will lease out space to other enter- prises. PV Communications in Loudonville is already leasing some space in the low level of the plant for warehousing,” he said. Shrock expressed excite- ment about all of the mate- rials to be sold at the July 13 auction. “While admit- tedly a lot of it is junk, there are lots of diamonds in the rough,” he said. “We have huge shear presses — presses which all still work, paint booths for painting vehicles, all sorts of metal fabricating and tooling ma- chinery, and hardware. Our auctioneers have divided the items up into over 600 lots, and bids can be made both in person and online.” Shrock said he was amazed at some of the so- phisticated testing and measuring equipment that is included in the items to be auctioned. “We have, for instance, a box of measuring tools used to measure metal holes for hardware,” he said. “There are 50 measur- ing pieces, and every one of them is still in the box. I have been in the construc- tion business long enough to know that stuff like this gets lost. That this set, probably 50 or more years old, is still complete tells me whoever used it was very well organized and disciplined.” Interested people can pre- view the items to be auc- tioned on Saturday, July 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and all day Monday and Tues- day, July 11 and 12. Demon- strations will be provided of equipment running. The Flxible Co. was founded in 1913 by Loudonville inventor and businessman Hugo H. Young to manufacture the Flexible motorcycle sidecar. The E in Flxible was later dropped due to trade mark considerations. In the 1920s, after the motorcycle and sidecar fell out of favor with the trans- portation buying public, Young changed operations at the plant to bus and fu- neral car manufacture. He owned the company until around 1970, when it was acquired by Rohr Corp, Chula Vi California. Around 1978, Grumman Corp. took ownership, and it sold the General Automo- tive Corp. in 1983. GAC closed the business in 1996, with MCI In which performed aftermar ket parts manufacture an bus rehabilitation services continued operations at the plant until last year. Like most industries, the company had its ups an downs, but on several occa- sions the Loudonville plan served as a place of employ- ment for up to a thousan people. Ironically, the auction o material at the old Flxib plant coincides with the bi annual Flxible Bus Owner International Rally, whic is taking place at the Mohi can Adventures Camp ground on the south side of Loudonville from July 1 through July 17. Most the bus owners have a quired old Flxible buse most manufactured in Loudonville, and converted them into motor homes. First installment of First installment of Great Mohican Pow Great Mohican Pow Wow set July 13-17 Wow set July 13-17 By JIM BREWER The first of two 2016 versions of the Great Mohi- can Pow Wow will be the weekend of July 8-10 at the Mohican Reservations Campground south of Loudonville. The pow wow, a Mohi- can area tradition since the early 1980s, serves as a time for Native Americans to meet together and join- ing in dancing, singing, vis- iting, renewing old friend- ships and making new ones. The Great Mohican Pow Wow also provides an op- portunity for non-Native Americans to enjoy observ- ing the different reflections of Indian culture main- tained through these events, including the open- ing parade called the grand entry, group and individual dances, singing, costuming and special clothing, story- telling, performances by different musicians, includ- ing the haunting music of the Malkuri from the Andes Mountains in South Amer- ica, and events like toma- hawk throwing, fire start- ing, and hoop dancing. Gates for the pow wow open all three days at 10 a.m., with grand entry pa- rades scheduled for 1 p.m. each day. Activities close at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 6 p.m. Sunday. The pow wow, like all pow wows, is organized by committees that do plan- ning and rehearsing for months prior to the event. The pow wow emcee then runs the event. Among the performers back from past Mohican pow wows will be story- teller Lance White Eagle; and flutist Douglas Blue Feather. Particular attention is paid to the role Native Americans have played in defense of the United States. In the grand entry, flags will be paraded into the arena, including the Ameri- can flag, tribal flags, the POW/MIA flag and eagle staffs of tribes participat- ing. The flag ceremony has a dual meeting, first as a way to recognize all ancestors who fought in Indian wars against the American gov- ernment, and later for the Native Americans who fought for the United States. Mohican Reservation Campground is located at 2320 Wally Road, about 7 miles south of Loudonville. Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children 6 to 12 years old, with children younger than 6 years old admitted free. Discounted multi-day passes are also available. The pow wow will repeat Sept. 16 through 18. For that event, special arrange- ments can be made for school groups. Call Mohi- can Reservations at 800- 766-2267 for information.

On his way home fromthe (then called) Con AgraMill in Loudonville in thesummer of 1988, Ken Ut-terback came upon a bro-ken down Flxible bus onCampbell Street near theFlxible plant.

“The driver, Ray Trabbieof Nashville, Tennessee,was driving through townlooking at the plant wherehis bus was manufactured,when his fuel pump failed,”Utterback said. “I rescuedhim, drove him down to theRiver Run Campground,where they were holdingwhat was the third summerFlxible International BusOwners Rally.”

That gesture, that GoodSamaritan act, led to a long

and mutually satisfying re-lationship between Utter-back and The Flxible.

Younger folks don’t real-ize that Utterback, who hasserved as the local liaisonfor the Flxible Bus rallysince 1990, never workedat the company. He workednearby at the o ldLoudonville Milling Co.,later Sunshine Biscuits,later Con Agra and now Ar-dent Mills, serving for a to-tal of 42 years, many aswarehouse manager andlater as a spot maintenanceman and jack of all tradesat the facility.

Ruth E. Anderson, 55Ruth E. Anderson, 551960 - 20161960 - 2016

Ruth Ellen Anderson, 55,of rural Lakeville died Wed-nesday evening, June 29,2016, at her home sur-rounded by her family aftera two-year illness.

Ruth was born Nov. 8,1960, in Shelby and was thedaughter of James R. andEvajean M. (née Hopton)Hickman.

She was a 1979 graduateof Shelby High School, aMount Vernon NazareneUniversity graduate and aLakeville-area residentsince 1992.

Ruth was a member ofNew Hope CommunityChurch of Loudonville.

Ruth began her Christianwalk at a young age andspent each day serving oth-ers and her Lord with abeautiful heart. She uncon-dit ional ly loved thosearound her, encouragedand believed in everyoneand genuinely cared for thebroken. She had a conta-gious and ornery smile thatcould break through thetoughest facades. She livedwith a passion for people,but was drawn most to thevery young and the elderly.

She home-schooled allfour of her children, tutoredmany others, volunteered inschools and nursing homesand mentored youth atchurch. Anyone who knewher felt welcomed and ac-cepted by her selfless gift ofhospitality. Ruth was an in-spirational person; bold butapproachable, courageousbut compassionate, princi-pled but open-minded, in-tellectual but genuine,strong but empathetic andspontaneous but patient.Even though she had thecapacity for any career, shechose to be a self-sacrific-ing stay-at-home mom. Herchildren are forever grate-ful for the time, values andcharacter instilled by thatdaily guidance. Her life em-bodied divine grace and dig-nity, which she carriedthroughout her brain cancerjourney. In life and in pass-ing, she served as a testa-ment to her faith. We are

comforted to release herinto loving arms evengreater than her own. Wel-come home, Ruth.

Nature beckons adventurers across the globe. Recreational and ardent hikers venture into

the landscape to get a glimpse of the wonders of the great outdoors. Veteran hikers are often careful to watch out for and protect natural resources, while novice hikers may not be aware of that responsibility. Hiking responsibly includes being mindful of natural habitats and what you bring in or take away from parks, forests and other natural areas.

Carry in/carry outPart of protecting nature involves in carrying out what you carry in. What you bring with you in your backpack should not be left behind. Some parks and wildlife centers do not have trash receptacles, so it is up to you as the hiker to carry trash out of your surroundings and properly dispose of it. Children who may not understand litter and its impact on habitats can be taught lessons about picking up trash and taking items with them out of the park when hiking.Even though foods like fruit rinds or seeds can be biodegradable, it is still important to take your food with you when you leave the park. If you don’t, you may inadvertently introduce a foreign species of plant to a habitat that can overtake indigenous plants. Also, animals should not be allowed to eat human food, otherwise they may become used to it and not forage for their own food. Animals also may become brazen, approaching people for an easy meal.Stay on trailsIt can be tempting to be a trailblazer and head out into the middle of the wilderness. This can be dangerous and potentially harmful to wildlife. Going off the trails means you will have to rely on your ability to navigate to � nd your way in and out of your hiking location. Those who are unsure of navigation and using a compass may � nd themselves lost. Park rangers or emergency personnel may have trouble locating individuals who have ventured off the trails. When hikers veer off of the established trails they are treading on untouched parts of the landscape, where they can damage delicate foliage or stomp on nesting sites of some animals. If you are off of the trail you may be more likely to come across animals, which could frighten them and cause unpredictable behavior.

Keep dogs on leashes so they will not venture off and get lost or injured. Dogs may dig holes or chase animals, disrupting the surroundings.Don’t remove or introduce wildlifePicking � owers may seem harmless, but hikers should be careful to leave their surroundings untouched as much as possible. Your goal when exploring the wilderness is to observe and not disturb. That means leaving plants and animals alone. In addition, do not introduce foreign animals to a landscape. Some people release lizards or � sh that were once pets into ponds and rivers rather than trying to � nd responsible homes for these creatures. There are many areas of the country that have become overrun by animals that are not native to these habitats. For example, invasive nonnative species have been taking over areas of the Florida Everglades for years. According to the National Parks Service, the Burmese Python is rapidly becoming a poster child for nonnative species in the Everglades, along with the Tokay Gecko and the Bufo Toad.Be cautious with camp� resIf you will be hiking and camping, be sure to take precautions. Always check to see the wild� re risk rating, which is often posted at the park entrance, before establishing your campsite. If the risk is high, you may want to forgo a camp� re or be especially cautious when containing the � re. All it takes is one errant spark to ignite dry timber and brush. Contain a camp� re with a ring of rocks. Feed the � re with only enough wood to keep it at a moderate size, and do not use any accelerants to make a bigger blaze.When you are done with your camp� re, be sure to extinguish it completely and double-check that all ash and cinder is completely cool before moving on from the campsite.Be courteous of othersMany parks and hiking trails are quiet sanctuaries for people and wildlife. Keep this in mind when hiking. Do not play loud music or be disruptive in any way. Disruptive or inconsiderate behavior can spoil the experience for others enjoying the outdoors and frighten animals in the area.Hiking and enjoying nature is a popular pastime. Keeping the landscape pristine and protecting plants and animals should be a goal of all hikers.

run through downtownLoudonville at 10:15 a.m.Saturday, July 16. After theparade, the campgroundwill be open for folks totake looks at the historicbuses, almost all of whichwere made in Loudonvilleat the Flxible plant, until 4p.m.

Flxible was founded byHugo Young in Loudonvillein 1912 as a manufacturerof motorcycle side cars,and closed in 1996. Busmanufacture started therein the 1920s. After the Flxi-ble closure, the plant wasused as a bus parts manu-facturer and rehabilitationcenter by MCI Inc. untillast year. The building isnow vacant and available

for sale.Utterback said at this

point, 48 Flxible bus own-ers have registered at Mo-hican Adventures Camp-ground for the rally, “but Iam not sure how many willbring buses. Typically, wehave between 35 and 40buses for the parade.”

In addition to friend-ships made through hisinvo lvement wi th therally, Flxible has becomean all-encompassing avo-cation for Utterback. Inthe room his wife Joannedubs “his man cave,” hehas hundreds of pieces ofF l x i b l e m e m o r a b i l i a .Among them are a paystub from a company em-ployee, dated 1964; vehi-cle serial plates; serviceand parts manuals; hun-d r e d s o f p h o t o s a n dcopies of the Flxible Co.newspaper; and a photo

of the bus used in and avideo of the movie, “RV,”starring Robin Williamswhich used a 1948 Flxiblebus in the title role.

Utterback said the Flxi-ble International Bus Own-ers has about 400 mem-bers, including eight fromCanada and four or fivefrom Australia, where theyhave established their ownclub, which now has 50members.

“It’s amazing, but a lot ofFlxible buses have beenshipped to Australia,” hesaid.

Utterback also hasdonesome traveling to visit folkshe has met who own Flxiblebuses, among them MarvinCarter of Oklahoma City,and Jerry Jones o fChoctaw, Okla. He also at-tended one other Flxiblerally, that one in Quartzite,Arizona.

As local coordinator, hesets up trips of area interestfor the owners. For instance,two years ago, he arranged atour of the Anna Flag Com-pany in Coshocton, onlymanufacturer of AmericanFlags in the U.S. He has pro-vided several options for thisyear’s rally, but the grouphasn’t decided on which topursue this year.

In addition to his busra l ly work, Utterbackserves as building mainte-nance coordinator at Mohi-can Historical Society, anddoes some driving parttime with Burgess Ambu-lance Sales.

He and wife Joanne,members o f theLoudonville High Schoolclass of 1954, have takenon a new undertaking, host-ing visits from their firstgreat-grandson, 2 1/2 yearold Miles Bishop.

Ohio’s watersOhio’s waterssafer withsafer withsober boatersober boaterefforteffort

Ohio’s waters remainedsafe this weekend as zeroboating-related fatalities oc-curred during OperationDry Water, according tothe Ohio Department ofNatura l Resources(ODNR).

“Alcohol is involved inabout one of every four fa-tal boating-related acci-dents in Ohio, which is whyit is important to alwayshave a sober captain whenyou’re out on the water,”said ODNR Director JamesZehringer.

Last weekend duringOperation Dry Water,which is a nationwidecrackdown initiative aimedat removing impairedboaters from public water-ways, ODNR officers con-tacted 2,085 boaters on 638vessels for various viola-tions of Ohio watercraftand local laws. ODNR offi-cers also issued 49 citationsand 570 boating safetywarnings.

The officers and theirlaw enforcement partnersissued six boating underthe influence (BUI) viola-tions. In Ohio, individualsdriving a boat with a bloodalcohol content (BAC)above the state limit of .08will be arrested for BUIand face other seriouspenalties, including fines,jail and loss of privilegesto register and to operateboats.

Alcohol use while boat-ing also is the leading fac-tor in boater deaths nation-wide. Alcohol can impair aboater's judgment, bal-ance, vision and reactiontime. Alcohol also in-creases fatigue. Alcoholuse is dangerous for pas-sengers as well since intox-icated passengers can eas-ily slip, fall overboard orsuffer other life-threaten-ing accidents.

While state officers andlocal marine patrols are al-ways on the lookout forimpaired boat operators,Operation Dry Water is anorganized national effortthat focuses greater aware-ness o f the need forboaters to boat smart, boatsober and make a commit-ment to staying safe on thewater.

ODNR is responsible forboating safety, educationand law enforcement on allwaters of the state. Thisstatewide area includes thenearshore area along 451miles of the Ohio River,approximately one-thirdthe entire surface area ofLake Erie, more than 605inland lakes and more than60,000 miles of inlandstreams, rivers and otherwaterways.
