This week in Ohio Man…
No disrespect to my father. But if he assaulted me in a way that blinded me, my forgiveness wouldn’t come before his sentencing hearing; I can tell you this much.
From Charlotte Caldwell of limaohio.com:
LIMA — A Lima man’s teenage son said he has forgiven his father for an incident that left the boy blind. Still, the man was sentenced to a minimum of five years in prison Thursday.
Patrick Kollars, 47, was sentenced to the non-mandatory term after pleading guilty last month in Allen County Common Pleas Court to endangering children, a second-degree felony. With the five-year prison term, Kollars will be eligible to request judicial release after four years of incarceration.

On that day, Kollars went into his son’s room and saw the teen on his phone engaging in inappropriate behavior online for which the boy had been reprimanded before. The boy tried to lie about what he was doing and shut the phone off, and Kollars began smacking his son in the face, causing the boy’s good eye to rupture.
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Kyle Thines displayed pictures of the boy’s eye after the incident, which was completely black with blood from the rupture.
Congratulations to this Lima Dad for his hall-of-fame entry in the chronicles of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong.”
He’ll now get to parent from prison for five years.
This week on The Rooster…
It’s been another hectic week at Rooster Worldwide LLC:
Plagues upon them. Here are all the one-star reviews of the Florida resort that hosted the upper echelons of the Ohio House and assorted lobbyists.
When did dinosaurs go extinct? A deep dive investigation into the prehistoric beliefs of our beautiful state legislators. Some answers may surprise you!
To the bridge. Mike DeWine, who is better than most Republicans on public schools, is still willing to short change them by over $100 million.
Ignorance knows no shame. Library officials throughout Ohio are sounding the alarm about the State Legislature wanting to end funding for our award-winning system.
The “Reynoldsburg Ross” files:
Earlier this week, I challenged the residency of City Council candidate Tiara Ross. You can read that story here:
I’ll have more at the Board of Elections meeting on March 3rd. But I’d like to thank these media outlets for covering the filing, even though I quibble with the Dispatch using the word “refute” in its updated headline:
Matter News (and Hilltop Husband)
I hereby consider this issue settled until the hearing.
THOSE WMDs. This could be baseball’s last season without robot umpires… How the great online toaster hoax was finally exposed… Three parrots, one shared wall and two ruptured lives… My life as a prison officer… The cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself.
