Scholarships Benefit ONU Students

Twelfth Night ONU’s department of theatre presented the classic Shakespearean comedy Twelfth Night, but with a 60s “twist,” at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts. The fast-paced tale of love, confusion and mistaken identity featured music performed by a live band on stage. Four original songs composed by Chicago-based Jon Negus in the pop rock style of the 60s and 70s, complemented other music of The Beatles, Kinks and Rolling Stones, to help create the psychedelic world of that period.

When most people hear the word “algae,” images of murky swimming pools and the slimy glass of aquariums come to mind. Unfortunately, the ambiguous term “al-gae” does not do justice to this extremely diverse and ecologically important group. Algae are considered excellent organisms for biomonitoring because they are read-ily present in most aquatic systems, often have higher levels of diversity (compared with fish and macroinvertebrates), exhibit a wider range of ecological tolerances, and respond directly and more rapidly to changes in the environment.

The whistle blows signaling the start of the race. The swimmers’ arms cut through the water like knives as they advance down the length of the pool and back. Teammates cheer loudly and enthusiastically, urging their members to press on. As the racers make it down the last stretch, one seems to break away from the pack, if only slightly, and touches the wall fi rst at the end of her last crisp stroke. The coach celebrates with her and helps the victorious swimmer out of the pool and into her wheelchair.

Robert R. Cupp BA ’73/JD ’76

Justice Robert R. Cupp, the newest member of the Ohio Supreme Court, invited David C. Crago, dean of ONU’s Pettit College of Law, to serve as master of ceremonies at his swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 2, 2007. It was symbolic of the continuing role Ohio Northern has played in Cupp’s life and career ever since his childhood on the family farm. “I went to a small country church near Rockport, between Bluffton and Columbus Grove,” he recalls. “When the pastor left, it was too small to sustain a full time pastor, so Dr. Eugene Eakin, the vice president of academic affairs at Ohio Northern, agreed to be the temporary minister. Temporary turned into long-term and when I became college-age he offered to give me a tour of Ohio Northern. And that’s where I decided to go,” Cupp says. As an undergraduate, Cupp majored in political science and says the faculty had an enormous influence on his life and his decision to enter politics, government and law. “Andy Ludanyi taught a course about the theory behind our political system, which was exceedingly interesting. I have thought about that and seen those concepts in action ever since. I even mentioned it in my swearing-in speech.” There were other courses, professors and experiences, including the Student Senate that helped Cupp plan his future. “Then Dan Guy, JD ’52, LLD ’05, (assistant dean of College of Law) recruited me to the ONU law school,” he says. “I went to law school because I thought it would be a good credential when running for government. I was particularly interested in the legislative side,” Cupp says. “Once I got to law school, I found I really liked it. When I got out, I practiced law and did so until I was elected to the Court of Appeals; I divided my time between practicing law and public service!” Over the years that public service has included serving as assistant Lima law director and Lima city prosecutor; two terms as an Allen County commissioner, including three years as president of the board; four terms representing the 12th district in the Ohio Senate, including 10 years on the Senate Judiciary Committee, two years as majority whip and three years as president pro tempore; an appointment to the Ohio Commission on Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management; and five years as an appellate judge with the Third District Court of Appeals. In recent years, Cupp returned to ONU as a visiting professor of applied politics and advisor to the Leadership Studies program. He says, “The students were wonderful. At this point in life, I think you draw energy from the students.” He adds, “I encouraged several of them to apply to the Ohio Legislative Service Commission intern program. Justin Walton, ’04 BA, went to work for State Senator Jim Jordan and now he’s working for Congressman Jordan in his Findlay district office. Another recent graduate is also a commission intern. In 2006, Cupp campaigned state-wide for the Ohio Supreme Court. He believes teaching ONU students helped in the campaign. “I found that to be a wonderful refresher when I was campaigning across the state; to be able to talk about our legal system in a way that people can understand. Let’s face it, for most non-lawyers, our legal system is kind of a mystery.” Now spending his time hearing oral arguments and pouring over legal briefs on cases ranging from a Public Utilities Commission appeal to the death penalty, termination of parental rights and even a speeding case, Cupp still makes his home on a farm in Allen County with his wife Libby and six llamas. “Libby, being from the city, has to name all the livestock,” he laughs. “The mama is Dolly Llama and Fernando Llama is the father. Their first-born was a female and because we live in Lima and people confuse the pronunciation with Lima, Peru, which is where a lot of lamas come from--the first one is Lima (lee-ma) the Lama from Lima (lime-a.)” Their two sons, Matthew, BS ’02, a computer data systems analyst at Battelle in Columbus, and Ryan, BA ’07, have both continued the ONU tradition.

“Tom Hoffman, was the chaplain at the university and helped me focus on the importance of higher laws that should govern our lives,” Cupp said.

Dr. Sheldon Yessenow ’71 A&S, veterinarian and owner of the Oronoque Animal Hospital in Strat-ford, Conn., was named Veterinarian of the Year by the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Association (CMVA) for his work with the Veterinary Medical Assistance Team in the aftermath of 9-11 and Hur-ricane Katrina. Yessenow spent three weeks working with animal victims of Hurricane Katrina, serving as hospital di-rector at an animal shelter set up in a fairgrounds at Gonzales, LA. He also provided veterinary care to pets evacuated with their owners to the New Or-leans airport and pets stranded at the parker Coli-seum at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.

David W. Miller BSPH ’97

While an undergraduate at Ohio Northern, David Miller loved to hang out with friends, enjoyed participating in Residence Life, and was active in the Sigma Pi fraternity. After graduating in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy and chemistry, Miller went to work for the K-Mart Corporation. Having grown up the son of a military man and believing the values of God and country taught to him as a Boy Scout, he decided to join the Army Reserves as a pharmacist. He officially joined on Sept. 6, 2001, five days before terrorists crashed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and changed America forever. Miller spent his first four years in the reserves stationed at Fort Ben Harrison, a reserve center in Indianapolis. For three of those years he served as company commander. He has also served at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, Fort Gordon in Georgia, and overseas in Panama, Kuwait, and Iraq. He was in charge of combat support hospitals. “Our job was to run these hospitals that had pharmacies, surgeries, things all hospitals have. The best way I can describe it is it was like M.A.S.H., only not as crazy,” Miller said. Last year Miller joined the Psychological Operations Task Force in Iraq for seven months. Miller commented that, “It was fun because it allowed me to understand a lot more about the military and it was a non-medical unit.” Miller’s duties were to try to help the Iraqi people to understand how democracy works. Miller returned home from active duty at the end of July, 2006, and is currently the civilian pharmacist at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center in Edinburgh, Ind. He has also served on the ONU Alumni Board where he helped to create stronger relationships between Ohio Northern and its alumni.

Robert Brutcher BS ’99, PharmD ’04

When ONU pharmacy students graduate from the Raabe College of Pharmacy, they probably expect to find themselves in a suburban corner pharmacy. However, Robert Brutcher, BS ’99/PharmD ’04, who serves in the United States Army, finds himself in one of the most vital and important pharmacies in the world in Baghdad, Iraq. “I am the Chief of the Department of Pharmacy at Ibn Sina Hospital,” said Brutcher. “It’s what some call the busiest trauma center in the world.” But Brutcher did not end up in Iraq right after graduation; his journey to the Middle East spanned the course of a few challenging years, both at ONU and in the U.S. military. Initially, Brutcher began his journey at ONU as a biology major. “I liked ONU so much that after I left with my B.S. in biology, I returned to complete the pharmacy program,” said Brutcher. It was at ONU that Brutcher met his college sweetheart, Beth Brunie, BSPh ’03, and married her soon after. In September 2004, Brutcher joined the U.S. Army and went to the Officer Basic Course at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. Upon completion in December, he moved to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colo., and became the chief of inpatient and clinical pharmacy at Evans Army Community Hospital. Brutcher remained in this position until March 2006, when he attended the Captains’ Career Course at Fort Sam Houston. After serving a few more months back at Fort Carson, Brutcher left in August 2006 for pre-deployment training with the 28th Combat Support Hospital at Fort Bragg, N.C. Finally, in September 2006, Brutcher left Fort Bragg to take on his position as chief of the department of pharmacy at Ibn Sina Hospital in Baghdad. Brutcher attributes his successes to ONU’s department of pharmacy and its professors. “The department of pharmacy at ONU helped prepare me by giving me the background, knowledge and skills to be a successful soldier, pharmacist and leader,” he said. “Several staff members helped me by serving as mentors and helped guide me in the right direction with school, career choices and life in general.” “To this day, I still keep in contact with those mentors and they have helped me on more than one occasion while I have been serving in Baghdad.” When asked what first attracted him to ONU, Brutcher cites a couple very different reasons. “It was the fact that ONU was a smaller institution,” Brutcher said. “I did not want to sit in class with 400 other students and watch a professor on TV giving a lecture. ONU provided an atmosphere where one-on-one tutoring and guidance were always available.” In the end, the close friendships are what Brutcher remembers most vividly. “I was always told that the best friends you would ever have would come from college, and I have to agree,” said Brutcher. “My military career has taken me out of Ohio, but I continue to carry on the friendships that I developed while at ONU.”
