Lee Jackson Award
The Lee Jackson Award is given each March to
an active and dedicated member of Youngstown
All Breed Training Club in memory of Lee and
Kay Jackson. This year the award was
presented to Sharon Phillips. Before describing
the many reasons Sharon was so deservedly
selected, a brief history of the award may
interest new club members as well as longtime
members.
Lee Jackson was one of the founding members
of Youngstown All Breed Training Club.
Before the club was established several people
met and trained their dogs at Pioneer Pavilion in
Mill Creek Park. They later moved to GF Hall
on Logan Avenue in Youngstown to train. Lee
spent many hours and much of his money to
keep this club active. He was known as “Mr.
Youngstown All Breed” and served as president
of YABTC for 18 years. Lee was also president
of the Mahoning-Shenango Kennel Club.
He was an AKC judge and one of three people
in the nation to receive the distinguished 1977
Midwest D’Ambris Award. Unfortunately Lee
passed away before he could personally receive
the award.
Both Lee and his wife Kay competed in
obedience with Dachshunds and Belgian
Sheepdogs. Kay was also Trial Secretary for
many years. They had three dogs titled
‘Companion’ dogs. Lee had a good sense of
humor and had one of his wirehaired
Dachshunds registered with the name of
“DAMMIT”.
March of 1978, the first Lee Jackson Award
was given in honor of him and has become a
yearly tradition of YABTC. The award is given
to an outstanding person who has served our
club.
At this year’s March General Meeting, YABTC
President, Perri Graf, had the pleasure and
honor of presenting the 2013 Lee Jackson
Award to the club’s talented, teacher/trainer and
longtime member, Sharon Phillips.
Sharon is one of those rare individuals any
organization is lucky to have on-board. She is a
talented, smart, and a gifted trainer. She
has had a lifetime with dogs beginning at the
age of ten with a Poodle (when she really
wanted a Saluki! LOL).
Many breeds followed her first. She has shown
Collies, Pharaoh Hounds, Whippits, Belgian
Sheepdogs, Parson Terriers, and Australian
Shepherds, holding titles in obedience,
conformation, agility and lure coursing.
2 Youngstown All Breed Training Club April 2013
Her accomplishments with dogs are
complimented by her generosity to YABTC.
Sharon, a gifted artist, has donated artwork to
our raffles. She has donated enormous amounts
of time and other items for those raffles.
And when you find her on the training floor and
you see she is always willing to give instruction
to those who need it. Sharon has taught Agility
and all levels of Obedience with Puppy thru
Utility class. It does not matter what breed
you own or whether you have skills or not.
Sharon tunes in on what she sees and knows
what to suggest. Judging by the crowds of
people and dogs that have been in her pre-
novice and other classes, attendees know of her
enormous talent as a trainer. Her Saturday
agility class has always been grateful for her
insight, good humor and friendship enjoyed
there.
Sharon has earned the respect and admiration of
her fellow obedience and agility competitors
and likewise her many fellow YABTC club
members and friends. We are so very lucky to
have Sharon Phillips at YABTC.
Congratulations Sharon, the Lee Jackson Award
is well deserved!

grooming him for the show. Tobey’s sire is Gr. Ch

IT’S A GO!
The membership voted by an
overwhelming majority to go ahead
with building a training facility on our
property (across from the water
tower).
It sure was nice to see so many faces
at the meeting. Now we will really
need to work together with classes
and at trials to make sure we have the
income to continue growing.

From the Agility Desk at YABTC:
HUGE THANK YOU!
to all of you who helped at the agility trial in
Washingtonville on the 16th and 17th of
March!!!
And to all of you who came out to help without
even running a dog:
Bob Samios, Barb Mannion, Bill Reinhart,
Carol and Rick Kirschner, Cheryl Christy, Dave
Beach, Elaine Shively, JoAnn Fedyski, Karen
Wisler, Linda Ruse, Linda Kurfis, Mary Zalac,
Maryann Coates, Merrill Lewis, Sharon
Phillips, Pat Matevich, Susanne Stiffler, and of
course Perri Graf who did an awesome job in
the kitchen as usual:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK
YOU again!
If I had a hat, I would take it off for you!
I think sometimes people forget that we cannot
put on these trials without volunteer workers,
and that everyone that works for this club is
doing it for the betterment of the club. The more
volunteers we have, the less work it will be for
each one of us, and the better the trial will run.
Thanks again to all (and I hope I didn't forget
anyone)!

Fun Match On Sunday, March 3rd, YABTC hosted our 9th Annual Conformation Fun Match! Despite the snowy, slick roads early in the morning, it eventually cleared up and the exhibitors came rolling in with their puppies and young adult dogs. The day stayed cold outside but the heat was turning up inside as 85 puppies and adult dogs strutted their way to Best of Breed, Group placements and Best in Match.....We nearly doubled last year's entry! Something new we added this year was Adult Handling. This is a special competition where the handlers are judged on their handling skills, the dog is not being judged. We had 12 adults enter this competition and they were wrapped around the ring! Everyone seemed to have alot of fun! We also offered pre-entries, where the exhibitor could save a couple buck by entering ahead of time. There were 15 people that took advantage of this! Special thanks to co-chairs Diana James, Jessica and Diana Walter, Sue Davis, Susan Fithian, Megan Perrine and Lisa Sangregario for all your help making this a successful event for YABTC! Everything looked GREAT! We got lots of compliments afterwards saying what a nice match we put together! Thank you to the 4H Goat Club Capriculturists for providing the food as a fundraiser, they made $230 towards buying one of the market goat projects for Second Harvest. We had a basket raffle and 50/50 that earned some extra money for the club as well. Everyone had alot of fun and we are looking forward to next year! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

8 Youngstown All Breed Training Club April 2013
An April Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow When the warm sun, that brings Seed-time and harvest, has returned again, 'T is sweet to visit the still wood, where springs The first flower of the plain. I love the season well, When forest glades are teeming with bright forms, Nor dark and many-folded clouds foretell The coming-on of storms. From the earth's loosened mould The sapling draws its sustenance, and thrives; Though stricken to the heart with winter's cold, The drooping tree revives. The softly-warbled song Comes from the pleasant woods, and colored wings Glance quick in the bright sun, that moves along The forest openings.
When the bright sunset fills The silver woods with light, the green slope throws Its shadows in the hollows of the hills, And wide the upland glows.
And when the eve is born, In the blue lake the sky, o'er-reaching far, Is hollowed out and the moon dips her horn, And twinkles many a star. Inverted in the tide Stand the gray rocks, and trembling shadows throw, And the fair trees look over, side by side, And see themselves below. Sweet April! many a thought Is wedded unto thee, as hearts are wed; Nor shall they fail, till, to its autumn brought, Life's golden fruit is shed.
