Councilman Lepard's Letter had Reliable Information!

OK. For those who have both eyes open, here is what is really going on in Tiffin Ohio:

In an attempt to discredit the Miami Street Project Referendum Opposition, Advertiser-Tribune Editor Rob Weaver continues to discredit his own newspaper, and blame it on Melissa Topey, the A-T staff Writer. What a Peach of a guy! He's as good as TU's Dr. Grandillo at spinning public information. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference between the two, except for...well...I'm not sure how to tell the difference.

I have a copy of the letter to the Board of Elections that was signed by Mr. Lepard. The Advertiser-Tribune has one, also. No where in that letter does it say anything about who owned the actual computer used by Mr. Fenik. Mr Lepard's letter carefully states:

"Please do NOT certify the [election] results because the Tiffin University Organization sponsored criminal action against the Monaco Family in a successful attempt to hamper the Monaco's orderly campaign efforts during the 30 days prior to the November 4th election."

If you are not aware of the complexity of computer technology, you might miss one fact, that I personally discussed with Mr. Lepard before he gave the letter to the Board of Elections.

I sent a "Vote Yes" campaign email from this blog to the 120 Tiffin University employee listed on their web site so I could try to "flush-out" the person who sent two threatening emails. Immediately, and within only a few hours, I received two messages from the culprit under two different names, "Ryan Fenik" and "Ryan". The now convicted Mr. Fenik had to have used Tiffin University Computer servers. How would he have received my campaign email without the Tiffin University's Computer server, so he could respond to it? None of the Monaco's have ever met Mr. Fenik. Mr. Fenik had NO CAUSE to quarrel with us. Yet, his threat message was so graphically detailed that he had to have gotten his information from or through Dr. Grandillo, who frequently visited with the Monaco's and was privy to personal family information that was NOT public information. Needless to say, Grandillo is NOT welcome in our home anymore simply because we no longer wish to contaminate our family's "pursuit of happiness" with the sordid affairs of any more self-aggrandized, drunken chimpanzees.

Because Tiffin University Computer Servers were used, and Mr. Fenik did NOT act outside of the encouragement of Tiffin University's Dr. Marion and Dr. Grandillo, the fact that he was on his own personal computer when he keyed-in the threats, does NOT exonerate Marion of prompting, encouraging, and organizationally enabling any crimes that have been committed. Even his own student and employee (Resident Assistant) Cory Boyes, wrote a letter to the A-T describing Marion's "giving-away-an-apple-ipod-for-votes" scheme targetting his many 18 year old freshman students. Marion's professors were giving out "extra credit" to students who documented their comments on the Miami Street Project, after being whipped into a campus frenzy!

The fact that the Advertiser-Tribune published the "bad information" article is nothing more than pure "spin"...and another attempt to discredit and publicly embarrass ANY opposition to the Tiffin University's abusive policies, practices and tax-funded projects. Consider that Tiffin University might be correct in asserting that Mr. Fenik used his own computer. It is another clear attempt to provide misinformation to the public when the A-T implies that Tiffin University Computers where not involved in Mr. Fenik's email communications.

If Tiffin University was NOT involved in this crime, then why did they wait (nearly a month after receiving notice of the threat letter) to terminate the employment of Mr. Fenik who was apparently a cooperative and well-performing employee? Why did Dr. Marion NOT publicly repudiate the threat messages when he learned of them three weeks BEFORE the election? Why did he hold marathon meetings with lawyers, staff and Tiffin City Officials before and after the election? How is it that Tiffin University got the charges reduced to a simple misdemeanor instead of felony "Telecommunications Harassment", which is the charge the police department and prosecutor originally intended from the beginning? I'm tired of calling this stuff "local political corruption". Even the Sandusky Ohio office of the FBI isn't willing to make good on their own publicly stated mission on fighting local political corruption. What do you bet that someone there is "friends" with the Tiffin University? Did I say "corrupt"? "And the band played on".


I received a total of four (4) messages from Mr. Fenik who is somewhat of a computer expert, himself. He used some computer "magic" that made him difficult to track without a subpoena. You would think that The A-T Editor would reclaim his own integrity by reporting ALL the important facts.


Weaver continuously places Tiffin University into the best light possible, even when crime-after-crime is committed by Tiffin University Employees against regular Tiffin Citizens. Our newspaper editor has ceded his honor to the Seraphim and Cherubim of Tiffin University. Oh, did I say "crime" in the same sentence as "Tiffin University"? If Mr. Weaver had his say on THIS publication, my statement would certainly be twisted into a "headline" asserting that I acted on "bad information."...or in the words of Dr. Marion, "...all of it is irrellevant"

Sheesh, Mr. Weaver can now take his place among other like-minded so-called Tiffin Civic Leaders. I've written about them before, and I'll write about them into the future. Why? Because they keep handing me all kinds of information, documentation, and public assertions that would not otherwise be recognized as abusive by the regular taxpaying citizens of Tiffin Ohio or Seneca County! Besides, these people are doing real damage, physically, emotionally and civicly, to the Monaco Family and the ENTIRE town of Tiffin. Stop abusing my family and other Tiffin Citizens and I will delete this blog as requested by Tiffin University's latest convicted criminal, Ryan Fenik

If you think the abuse can't happen to YOU, I hope to disabuse you of that notion. If you think I'm making this stuff up, you can put my assertion to the litmus test. Follow this simple procedure:

Step #1. Show up at a Tiffin City Council meeting. You may have to show for several until you can perform step #2.

Step #2. When an Ordinance is discussed on behalf of Tiffin University, simply stand-up and say "I object because no one has analyzed, mentioned, or resolved how we protect regular Tiffin Citizens who will be abused if we go forward with this ordinance".

Step #3. When the polite and patronizing comments and questions from the Mayor and Council start, you start writing them down. Send them in to this blog!

Step #4. Consider your experience: Ask: Was I made welcome to participate in my local government's decisions? Did my objection get the Ordinance Tabled? (put on hold until another part of the meeting or a new meeting). Did my Council members represent my interest in this matter?

Step #5. Send an opposition letter to the editor of the Advertiser-Tribune.

What will happen? YOU will be rendered "irrelevant". Why? Because Tiffin University's President, Dr. Marion has already publicly declared your concern to be...in his word..."irrelevant". He isn't a Tiffin Citizen, but he runs a great deal of the political machine in Tiffin and beyond. His declaration that YOUR concerns are "irrelevant" will probably be echoed by the Advertiser-Tribune's Rob Weaver. He will immediately start organizing his newspaper to oppose your opposition or embarrass you with even the slightest twist of his imagination.

Being irrelevant means that you are supposed to "bend over" when Dr. Marion is in the room. Even if you are an elderly female approaching your 90's, Dr, Marion and his happy chimpanzees think nothing of thus abusing you. Get used to it!...or you will become consumed by civic and constitutional abuses that Dr. Marion has declared "irrellevant".

Mr. Lepard is an honorable man. He does NOT deserve to be treated with headlines that say he had "bad information" when he carefully documented in his letter, ONLY the verifiable information that is contained there. Mr. Weaver, like Dr. Marion is irresponsible in the least, and in the worst have offended the honorable Mr. Lepard, who seems to be the ONLY person of standing in our local government acting on good civic principles.

Our local government and political process is in collapse. It no longer serves the citizens and panders to the narcissism of economically powerful and politically entrenched private interests.

Who will do the right thing...only because it is the right thing to do for Tiffin Ohio Citizens?

Should I stop asking?
