Everyday Blue Collar People, Wapakoneta, Ohio, Winning Citizens: The real winners in my community are your everyday blue collar people. These are the industrial workers that never get the real pat on the back that they are so deserving of!! How many of these people work long hours, mandatory overtime, even a majority of holidays?! All this just to get by and give their families security. These people are the real heroes of the US and it is time they get their 15 minutes of fame or at least let the rest of the world know they are not alone!!! By Shannon Spencer

Mark and Ruth Palmer, Oberlin, Ohio. Winning Benefactors: The Palmers began a company named It’s All Live. This company provides on-line tutoring service for students who are considered high risk. Each child receives a free computer from the company to get them started. They are true innovators and other companies have copied their ideas. By Papillon

Neal Wilds, Cleveland, Ohio, Winning Benefactor: At one time he was the most powerful minister in Cleveland and is now a well-known, generous philanthropist world-wide. He was sent in 1985 by the Methodist Church to Cleveland to help reverse the devastating poverty consuming Cleveland during the closing of the steel mills. He tirelessly campaigned for and helped to design and implement a complete overhaul of the school board. He helped to create open and finance outreach hunger centers throughout the city. He leased an acre of gardens over 20 years ago in Cleveland’s largest community garden and donates thousands of pounds of fresh produce yearly to families and hunger centers. Neil has paid utility companies thousands of dollars out of pocket to keep the heat on for the handicapped, elderly and the poor. His dedication to the cause of civil rights is legendary. Neal retired from the pulpit after 50 years of service, yet he still champions the cause of those less fortunate. By Teresa Clark

William D Hall, Twinsburg, Ohio. Winning Citizen: William Hall is 79 years strong! As a young man growing up in the racially charged south, he dug wells until he was able to move north to begin his first business and he has been a self made success every since. Very active in the community and his church, he has utilized ‘hard to employ’ individuals and has given many of them a second hope at not only making an honest living, but gaining self esteem. As a multiple business owner, Mr. Hall still arrives to work every morning before anyone else! He has shared his success over the years. He even provided homes for several deserving families in our community through his real estate development projects. Mr. Hall is a person truly deserving of a nomination. By Kishia Williamson
