These days there seems to be an endless number of advocates and lobbyists. Care about gun control? There's a group for you. Work for an insurance agency? The insurance lobbyists are one of the most powerful groups in the country. Want tax reform? There's a growing number of political action committees working for reform. Care about education, trade issues, protecting unions, fighting unions, the environment? Each one of these has powerful representatives both in Columbus and Washington, but who represents Moms?  Moms for Ohio does! Moms for Ohio works hard to help Moms have a say in the decisions that effect their lives and the lives of their families.

Moms For Ohio Educators & Parents Of The Year: Coach Ted & Jeanette Ginn

At first glance, one might think it a bit strange that a Moms group would choose a Coach and his wife as Educators and Parents of the Year. Thatis until, one takes a moment to think about how much sports programs really teach our children. Because participating in sports teaches kids how to work harder than they have ever worked before. It teaches them how to win and how to lose. It teaches them to believe in themselves, and in each other. They learn to make friends, and they learn about respect. Darrell
Royal, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame once said, “The only place you can win a football game is on the field, the only place you can lose it is in your hearts.” Athletics is always about more than just playing a game. It’s about who you are inside and who you want to become. And that is an education we all need.

As Moms, we may not be experts on the field, but we well understand the importance of giving life your all, and the importance of teaching our children to do so as well. And we are deeply grateful to all of those who coach our children, and to all of their spouses who give so much of their time as well, and we thank each of you for your efforts. And we would especially like to thank our Guests of Honor, Coach Ted & Jeanette Ginn. For the Ginn family story goes even further than all of the above, for as Coach Ted Ginn has said, “my program is neither about track nor football. It’s about saving lives and saving souls. Football and track are just the vehicles we use to ride in.”

As for Coach Ginn’s track record as a coach, according to Big Play Football, “Ted Ginn, Sr. has served as head football coach of the Glenville, Ohio Tarblooders since 1997. His nationally known program, “Winning and Building a Team against All Odds,” enabled Glenville to be ranked fourth in the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Top 25 teams in 2000, second in 2004, and first in 2005, at which time the Tarblooders were ranked 17th among the Top 20 high school football programs in the country. Coach Ginn was then named head coach for the 2006 United States Army All-American Bowl Game, for which he brought home a win for the East. He was also named head coach for the Glenville High School Boy’s Track Team in 2002, and since that time he has led the team, which has been considered one of the best track teams in the country, to four consecutive State Championship titles.” In addition, his program program ranks 6th in the country for Division I scholarships for student athletes.

One reason for Coach Ginn’s success has clearly been how much he and his wife Jeanette care about the students on their team. Devoted beyond measure to all of them, Coach Ginn does more than just coach them, he often becomes a second father to them.

"For the GOP, the strongest of the bunch appears to be Josh Mandel, a 32-year-old Lyndhurst lawmaker whose two tours of Marine combat service and kid-from-Northeast-Ohio pedigree have Republican power brokers writing "I *heart* Josh" in their Trapper Keepers."

" A Colorado company said it created 4,231 jobs with the help of President Barack Obama's economic-recovery plan. The real number: fewer than 1,000.

A child-care center in Florida said it saved 129 jobs with the help of stimulus money. Instead, it gave pay raises to existing employees."

From The Plain Dealer:

"It seems like everyone is clamoring for an H1N1 flu shot, yet at the same time, a new Ohio Poll reflects widespread reluctance to be vaccinated.

The University of Cincinnati's Ohio Poll found that only one-third of Ohioans plan to be vaccinated, and about half said they would have their children vaccinated. National polls have yielded similar results."
