PRSSA Chapter Wins National Awards
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 “algae” does not do justice to this extremely
diverse and ecologically important group.
Algae are considered excellent organisms
for biomonitoring because they are readily 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 first 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.

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
“Tom Hoffman, was
behind our political system, which was exceedingly
interesting. I have thought about that and seen those
the chaplain at
concepts in action ever since. I even mentioned it in my
the university and
swearing-in speech.”
There were other courses, professors and
helped me focus
experiences, including the Student Senate that helped
on the importance
Cupp plan his future.
“Then Dan Guy, JD ’52, LLD ’05, (assistant dean
of higher laws that
of College of Law) recruited me to the ONU law school,”
he says. “I went to law school because I thought it would

lives,” Cupp said.
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.
Dr. Sheldon Yessenow ’71 A&S, veterinarian and
owner of the Oronoque Animal Hospital in Stratford, 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 Hurricane Katrina.
Yessenow spent three weeks working with animal
victims of Hurricane Katrina, serving as hospital director 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 Orleans airport and pets stranded at the parker Coliseum at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge.

David W. Miller BSPH ’97
1997
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-onone 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.”
