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?

Tiffin University's Paul Marion Renders Police and City Prosecutor Irrelevant!
As I have said before, I do NOT make any of this stuff up!
Tiffin City Councilman Lepard said in the Advertiser-Tribune only days ago that criminal action was sponsored by the Tiffin University in an effort to thwart campaign opposition to their Miami Street Project from the referendum on Ordinance 07-70. Mr. Lepard was ignored by our County Board of Elections when he asked them to delay the certification of the referendum vote. He clearly explained the circumstances that put a Tiffin University Employee at the middle of the threats that successfully shut down the Monaco Family's campaign attempts to raise money and appear in public to personally ask people to vote 'NO' on the referendum." Our Board of Elections soiled Seneca County's good name by not getting permission to delay the certification "on principle". Where is the honor in that? I guess Dr. Marion was right the first time when at the public hearing he declared Tiffin Citizen concerns to be "irrelevant". At that time, he did NOT mention that he was also including the Seneca County Board of Elections, too.
As the face of the opposition campaign, I was compelled to leave Tiffin in the last weeks before the election because of the threats of harm to my elderly mother, my brother, and to our family home. I did not return until after the election, and AFTER the police said they were soon going to charge the person responsible with "telecommunications harassment".
Up to the time I left, every indication said that we stood a good chance of winning the November 4th election. Tiffin University knew this from the results of their own "telephone survey". We had been beating them from the first reading of the Ordinance when Tina Miller's objections stopped the vote at that time. We beat them at the second reading, too. Then came the Public Hearing, where we had so many regular Citizens show up, Dr. Marion and Dr. Grandillo earned themselves the equivalent of a public de-pantsing for misleading the public, the US Congress, and for lying about various matters that are now immortalized on the video cassettes made possible by our local cable company's broadcast. Through a stroke of good fortune, Councilman Pete Galipaeu, on the forth meeting of the ordinance, gave us a chance to petition for a referendum ballot, even though Tiffin University, City Council and the Mayor secretly agreed to pass the Ordinance and then voted publicly to indeed pass it. They didn't think the Monaco's could get the required 470 signatures from Registered Voters. We did NOT get 470 signatures. We got 1170! This was far more than needed!
Like I said, we were winning from the beginning. Marion and Grandillo knew this. Now, with the Monaco Family fearing for their lives and home, there was NO WAY we could do much more than ask others to "talk it up", make phone calls, enter blog articles, go out only under cover of night, pray, and join the NRA. At that time, Tiffin University started "pulling out the stops". They enlisted EVERY available resource, legal and illegal, to mount their campaign. They even hired a nationally recognized political consultant to direct their campaign that spent well over $200,000, fully loaded. The Monaco's on the other hand were so hampered at this critical time before the election, we couldn't raise ANY money for the campaign and spent much of our time trying to figure out how to fund police protection from Tiffin University's students and employees who were whipped into a frenzy; ready to [kill] us and [fire-bomb] our family home.
What exactly do they teach at Tiffin University's Criminal Justice Program? I have a theory about why they have such a program in the first place. Can you guess what that theory might be? Is the head of the TU Criminal Justice Department, a former US Government (FBI, CIA, Homeland Security) employee now acting as a cartel on behalf of Tiffin University? It is a pathetic observation.
So, why is Councilman Lepard's claim of election wrongdoing so important? Well, Think about it! Mr. Lepard was the person who originally, ON BEHALF OF TIFFIN UNIVERSITY, sponsored Ordinance 07-70! When he started learning of Tiffin University's "dirty tricks" and abuses to Tiffin Taxpayers, he did the principled thing. He started campaigning against the very Ordinance that he originally sponsored! I don't care what anyone says on this matter, Mr. Lepard acted on good civic principles...even in the face of many others surrounding him that did not and do not.
So, do I blame Mr. Fenik for sending two threat messages? Please be clear that I do blame him, and I forgive him his transgressions. I also believe that his punishment is NOT as severe as it should be since the police told me from the beginning that the prosecutor was going for a much more serious charge, Telecommunications Harassment, that could have resulted in a felony conviction. I also know, and you should too, that Dr. Marion and his happy chimpanzees were working over-time to figure out how to do "damage control". The entire neighborhood knew of the the many and long meetings at the Tiffin University with every legal person who Tiffin University ever knew...and then some. So what was the "plea bargain?
Mr. Fenik was given the equivalent of a traffic fine for going 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, with jail time that was "mysteriously" suspended so he could celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas...if he so chooses! It is ONLY because he got caught doing Dr. Marion's dirty work that he is being rewarded with such a sweet punishment...orchestrated by Tiffin University Officials. I don't buy it. If you buy it, you are probably one of those drunken chimpanzees pandering to President Marion's sick idea of community leadership...or one of our so-called civic leaders without the courage to act on good principle.
Fenik's punishment should have been related to the fact that he SCREWED us all out of $800,000 worth of Federal Tax Funds, and screwed his employer's political opposition out of more than $200,000 worth of campaign activities on Tiffin University;s Miami Street Project Referendum. When you add to that the terrorism to my very elderly mother and to me and to my brother and to our family home, this is attrocious! It is bad politics! It is embarrassing to every Tiffin City resident who calls our town their "home". Marion and Grandillo need to be stopped! Their abuses are unacceptable. They need to be put in jail for enabling and encouraging criminal behavior in their employees and students. Here's a link to the A-T article that if you read between the lines, will confirm everything I've been saying:
http://www.advertiser-tribune.com/page/category.detail/nav/5006/Editorials.html
Now, why should we all be marching on the Mayor's Office? (Unlike the Tiffin University Students, please leave your incendiary devices home!)
Why should we be screaming anger down at City Hall? Why should we all flood the FBI, and Congressman Latta's office with phone calls? Why should someone call Oprah...or Hannity and Colmes?
Contrary to the public face of it, Tiffin University President, Paul Marion, has created a campus environment that is so aggressive and hostile that it enabled and encouraged, directly and indirectly, criminal actions against the Monaco's and other Citizens. Mr. Fenik did NOT have any quarrel with the Monaco's until Marion and Grandillo fed him and others with the idea that it was "OK" to abuse an 88 year old women and threaten her and her family out of their home.
Mr. Fenik, and others on the Tiffin University campus, who are now also under investigation for criminal actions, did NOT act outside of this context. Everything you see in the A-T about Mr. Fenik is orchestrated by Dr. Marion and those happy chimpanzees I mentioned. Even the misdemeanor menacing charge makes a mockery of our City police and prosecutor. Dr. Marion has become a very very large fish in a very small pond we call Tiffin. He publicly declared the Monaco's and other Citizen concerns to be "irrelevant". Now, with this latest action related to his Miami Street Project, and without having to say another word in public, he has rendered our Tiffin City Police and the Prosecutor's office "irrelevant", too. Am I making this up? Just ask any other regular citizen who has called the police for an offensive college student incident. Tiffin City Police Officers routinely respond to City Residents with either "I have to get permission from the school before I can do anything to a student", or "Don't call us. Call Tiffin University (or Hiedelberg) so they can take care of it". Did I say irrellevant? Did I say "dark"?
I am embarrassed for our Mayor. I am embarrassed for our Police Chief. I am embarrassed and saddened that NONE of our prosecutors are able to hold powerful and influential so-called Civic Leaders accountable for their criminal actions against the rest of us normal citizens.
It should not be this hard to participate in this democratic republic we call Tiffin Ohio. Because of it, Tiffin University's President, Dr. Marion, will sleep happily again, tonight, I'm sure.
Best wishes,

Tiffin University Threatens Property Owners
Here is how it feels to be an Elderly Property Owner at Tiffin University
