2007 Top ARCite Award: Nominations & Result
In 1974, Bill Stahl, one of the ARC’s founding members, designed, built
and donated the Top ARCite Award for the purpose of recognizing the
ARC member who contributed the most to the ARC during the past year
(2007). This award will be won only once by an individual.
Past Top ARCite winners include: Doris Millet; John Millet; Dorothea
Gruenerwald; Ann Maurer; Barbara Hoard; Katherine Evans; Jane Pampalone;
Ruth Twiss; Jan Marshall; Catherine Thompson; Dorothy Stringer; Mary
Stringer; Doris Baldwin; Robert Hogan; Kay Peltier; Pat Flood; Barbara
Koon; Gwen Chaney; Jean Forster; Peter Piusz; Mrs. Bernard Freeman;
Doreen Le Page; Denise Gross; Marilyn Piusz; Linda Michels; Donna Rice;
Greg Benkiser; Connie Fountain; Joanne Thatcher; Judi Wilson; Glenn
Elizabeth Pollock; Lew Olson, Pamela J. Grant.
Nominees Were:
- I would like to nominate Grace Acosta for Top ARCite
Award for 2007. I have known Grace for 3 years through Gulfstream
Guardian Angels Rottweiler Rescue and Gulfstream Rottweiler Club in
which she is President of both. I am not a breeder but an ordinary
person and have been in love with the Rottweiler for 25 years. I found
that same love of the breed in Grace, who keeps me coming back to
meetings and participating in the ‘dog world.’
Grace has earned my respect through her hard work and dedication to
the breed. While she took on the tremendous task of being the ARC
2007 National Show Chairmanship, she continued her efforts for Rottweilers
in rescue, breeding, therapy, education, and fundraising. Other organizations
that benefited from Grace’s leadership during 2007 included the South
Dade Kennel Club, Medallion Rottweiler Club, and Miami Dog Club.
Unfortunately, in 2007 she lost the love of her life, Twice Select
AKC Champion Acosta Mobster’s Bandido Bueno, TT, RTD, CGC. Bandido
was special because of Grace. Despite her loss, she never failed meet
her ARC duties and be there for her canine and human friends. I highly
recommend Grace for this most prestigious award.
Nominated by Victoria C. Wiltsie
- Janet Fletcher has worked tirelessly for the Rottweiler
breed this past year through numerous activities. She accepted the
big job of Trophy Chair for the 2007 ARC National Specialty. Additionally,
she worked closely with me as the show chair on other show tasks and
was always available when needed. During the week of the specialty,
she was up early each morning and worked late each evening until things
were setup for the next day.
Janet takes an active role in Rottweiler Rescue. She currently houses
an owner surrendered, male Rottweiler with vitiligo. She frequently
participates in rescue runs not only for Rottweilers but other breeds
as well.
Janet owned ARC’s first Top Twenty Winner and has a strong passion
for the event. She worked diligently this past year as a member of
the Top Twenty Committee to assist in its re-establishment in a format
that is workable and equitable.
As show chair for her local all-breed club, she had a member of the
Florida House of Representatives present their trophies. This was
excellent public relations and a positive step toward preventing anti-canine
legislation from passing in the future.
These are a few of many reasons I consider Janet Fletcher worthy of
being awarded the Top ARCite Award for 2007.
Nominated by Grace Acosta
- Janet Fletcher is the “energizer bunny” for the
Rottweiler. She was the trophy chair for the 2007 ARC National Specialty.
It is an enormous job to know how many trophies, medallions, and rosettes
will be needed for an event with so many different venues. Janet already
had eight years of experiences as Trophy Chair for the Seminole Rottweiler
Club of Greater Tallahassee. She also typed our specialty catalog
and prepared many of the ads appearing in it; then, she printed and
physically put it together. She is also our club Secretary.
Additionally, Janet opened per personal property to host an AKC sanctioned
Rottweiler Specialty B-OB Match and again to host a two-day event
for the American Temperament Test Society, Inc. Sixty five dogs were
temperament tested with the majority of them being Rottweilers.
Janet has participated in many Rottweiler Rescue runs which carry
over to the other breeds. She houses rescues when needed and currently
has an older Rottweiler male rescue.
As show chair for her local all-breed club, Janet too the initiative
to have a Florida State Legislator present their Group trophies and
Best In Show trophy. Having our legislators see who we are and what
we do is essential in our fight to protect our breed from anti-dog
legislation.
Janet’s activities at the national, state and local levels certainly
attest to her dedication to the Rottweiler.
Nominated by Betty O’Hara
- Diane Garnett is our nominee for Top ARCite. Diane
has served now for almost 2 years as President and has done an outstanding
job. She has worked tirelessly in trying to “heal” the club over the
tail issue, toward BSL issues, the Bylaws revision, etc. She has also
done a lot for the club in past years as well; having served as ARC
Secretary for several years and as Show Chairman and Committee Chairman/member
at several National Specialties.
Nominated by Marilyn & Peter Piusz
- We would like to nominate Tracy Parciak for the
Top ARCite Award. Tracy has wanted to give up her “job” as ARK Editor
for some time now. However, rather than leave ARC without an Editor,
she continues in that very, very time-consuming position because no
one else has stepped forward to take her place. And she has done an
outstanding job. In the past, Tracy has also served as a Director
and the 2005 National Show Chairman.
Nominated by Marilyn & Peter Piusz
- I am nominating Marilyn E. Piusz for the 2007 Top
ARCite. Every individual who has ever worked with Marilyn will confirm
that this award is absolutely appropriate and bar none, she should
be the winner.
Unfortunately, you can only win once and someone before me recognized
MEP’s worth and she received the Top ARCite in 1998 in Plano, Texas.
But, the rules do not say that you can’t be nominated and recognized
for the work you have done over the past year. So, again I nominate
Marilyn for the hundreds of hours she spends making sure that awards
are given, memberships are counted, money is sent to Treasurer and
records are kept for posterity.
Nominated by Diane Garnett
The recipient of the 2007 Top ARCite Award is Diane Garnett.
2007 Friend of The Rottweiler Award: Nominations & Result
This award is for the person or group who has done the most for the
Rottweiler breed in the United States in the past year (2007). This
award will be won only once by an individual (exception is if the individual
had/or will receive the award as part of a committee or group).
Past recipients include: Muriel Freeman; Doris Baldwin; Bruce Billings;
Revera “Vee” Wayburn; Nicki Giesy & Betty Gerber; Judy Beaupre;
ARC Herding Committe (Tricia Millsap, Carol Krickeberg, James Hoyt,
Mid Rothrock & Roger Myer); Jeanette Quay; Greg Benkiser; Jump Heights
Committee (Mrs. Bernard Freeman, Nancy Gaffney, Mary Ann Pecen, Donna
Rice, Jeff Shaver, Cathy Thompson & Emy Verkosen); Rottweiler Health
Foundation Founders (Donna Rice, Revera “Vee” Wayburn, Patrice Lee &
Susan Reis, DVM); Doreen LePage; Grace Acosta; Frank Nelson; Ron &
Teri MacArthur; Glenn Elizabeth Pollock; Geula Resnick; Junior Showmanship
Committee (Lew Olson, Cindy Earich Leibert & Connie Fountain); Hurricane
Katrina Rescue (Linda Stoltz & Lew Olson); ARC Legislative Committee
(Leisa Boysen, Karen Brinkley, Jan Cooper, Lynn Lopez, Karen Perry &
Jeff Shaver.)
Nominees Were:
- I would like to nominate Jan Cooper as this year’s
Friend of the Rottweiler recipient. Jan has worked tirelessly for
our breed and her efforts have produced a website, paws4laws.com,
specifically for anti-dog legislation. This website is not just for
Rottweiler legislation but for all anti-canine legislation that is
mushrooming all over the United States. Jan Cooper has been a friend
to canines for many decades and at this time I’d like to have her
efforts recognized with this nomination for 2007 Friend of the Rottweiler.
Nominated by Diane Garnett
- Francisco Sanguino & “Rumor”. Francisco is
a Junior Handler whose Rottweiler, “Rumor”, won the 2007 AKC Award
for Canine Excellence (ACE) in the field of Companion. In 2007, Francisco
& “Rumor” had multiple placements in the Junior Showmanship class,
including 4 Best Junior In Show, defeating 177 other juniors and earning
them a #3 spot in the ARC Top 10 Juniors. As we understand it, both
Francisco & “Rumor” have had troubled pasts, which together they
have overcome. They also participate in therapy work. We think that
Francisco & “Rumor” are deserving of this award because with their
spotlighted presence, they have done a lot in showing the world what
a Rottweiler can be. We know this award is intended for a person,
but in this case, because they are a team we have nominated them as
such.
Nominated by Marilyn & Peter Piusz
- Dr. David Watters has been leading research for
years in the fight against bone cancer in Rottweilers and more recently
beginning a new landmark study, Path to Progress. He has also spearheaded
the Aging Research Initiative building the first nationwide database
of exceptionally old Rottweilers for the study of longevity in our
breed. He has taken the time to speak at three of our National Specialties
to educate our membership about his work that is so important to our
breed and all dogs. His dedication to the health of our breed is vital
to our ability to love our dogs through a healthy, long life. To me
that is a true friend,
Nominated by Deborah Shibley
The recipient of the 2007 Friend of The Rottweiler Award is Jan
Cooper.
2007 Bruce Billings Good Sportsmanship Award: Nominations & Result
The Bruce Billings Good Sportsman Award (formerly known as Gaines Good
Sportsmanship Award) honors an ARC member who has shown outstanding
sportsmanship in conformation, obedience, or any type of trial activities
in the past year (2007). An individual may receive this award only once.
Past recipients include: Jean Forster; William Gruenerwald; Jocko Rousseau;
Catherine Thompson; Lauri Ladwig; Mid Rothrock; Art Twiss; Doris Baldwin;
Mary Ann Roberts; Lorene Jones; Ed Dupont; George Daigle; Ellen &
David Minturn; Karla Ebert; Sue McGinty; Steph Anderson; Janet Noble;
Anthony DiCicco; Tamra M. Bojarski; Dr. Tommy Casiango.
Nominees Were:
- Again this year, we nominate Beverly Bulson for
this award. She continues to be a upbeat presence at the shows, ready
with her congratulations and to help out as needed. She competes in
conformation, obedience, agility, rally and carting with her Rottweiler,
Tagar’s Carbon Copy V Blazin, CD, RE, CI, CST, AXP, AJP, PDII, EAC,
O-OJC, CL3, TT, CGC, TDIA, who has multiple placements in the ARC
Top Ten Awards over the past several years. She recently earned a
RN title on her new puppy, Tagar Von Benja Moose Trax, RN. And she
continues to spend time in therapy work with her Rottweilers and her
Boston Terriers.
Nominated by Marilyn & Peter Piusz
- I would like to nominate Pat Crawford for the
Bruce Billings Good Sportsman Award. Pat found us while searching
for a male show puppy in the summer 2005. When I first talked to Pat,
she indicated that she had no experience with show dogs of any breed
but was eager to get a dog she could show. During the discussion of
our contract, she asked ‘what do you want me to do with this puppy?'
I responded saying that our contract stipulates that if the dog is
worthy we want him finished and that we would require her to put a
CD on him. She said she would do that. I hoped she would do those
things. My thought was that Pat being a first-time show dog owner,
it might be more difficult than she anticipated and I would have my
work cut out encouraging her. That was before I got to know Pat and
her determination. After lengthy discussion on both sides, Pat became
the proud owner of our Purple Boy, now known as Turbo.
While I have been at shows with Pat, I have been impressed with her
willingness to encourage and help other competitors, her friendliness
and generosity to all she meets and her genuine love of the breed.
I truly believe she deserves the recognition of the Bruce Billings
Good Sportsman Award. I have included Pat and Turbo’s very impressive
accomplishments and breed/rescue involvement in the past year.
In 2007 Pat and Turbo compiled this list of titles: AKC Champion;
Multi-BOB & BOS; CD; CDX; CGC; RA; RE; RN; TT- Temperament Test;
TDI - Therapy Dog; SD – Service Dog; WETT – Water Rescue; SWETT –
Water Rescue; SS – Water Dog Social Skills.
Pat is also a member in good standing of: American Rottweiler Club;
United States Rottweiler Club; Texican Rottweiler Club; Therapy Dog
International.
Pat volunteers at the following: Pecan Tree Rehabilitation Center;
Wheeler House; Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter; Endangered Breeds Association.
Pat and Turbo have also been in the news as a Therapy Dog: Gainsville
Daily Register; Endangered Breeds’ Newsletter; Therapy Dog International’s
Newsletter.
Pat is involved at shows: numerous times Meet The Breed at Shows;
Judges Seminar Demo Dog 3 times.
Nominated by Jan and Terry Kerrigan
- My nomination for this year’s award is Geula Resnick.
Geula is an ARC/MHRC member who resides in Denver, Colorado and spends
much of her time helping individuals get started in carting. She does
lots of other things, too but carting is an area that she thoroughly
enjoys. Her effort to encourage and assist novice individuals with
carting is exceptional. She gives her personal time, equipment and
experience to help develop new carters. Her positive demeanor with
dogs and humans encourages folks to return and in turn be helpful,
too. It’s a win-win situation at carting with Geula; she’s encouraging
to new carting people and in turn they become better ambassadors for
the sport, also.
Nominated by Diane Garnett
The recipient of the 2007 Bruce Billings Good Sportsman Award is Pat
Crawford.
2006 & 2007 AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award
Last year the AKC began offering a Medallion for Member Clubs to honor
an individual who has made a difference in the world of purebred dogs
in the past year. We did not receive the Medallion until it was too
late to present at last year’s National, so this year we are presenting
both the one for 2006 and 2007.
The recipient of the first AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award for
2006 is Doris Baldwin.
The recipient of the AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award for 2007 is
Pansy Roberts.
2007 American Rottweiler Club Heroism Award
A letter of recognition and a certificate is awarded to any Rottweiler
that, in the opinion of the ARC Board of Directors, has performed an
act of “heroism”.
We have 3 recipients of the award this year:
- “Dugan”, Esmonds Sixth Sense, Wilderness Search
& Rescue K9, NAPWDA Cadaver Detection Dog, owned by Lucy Newton
from Bondville, Vermont. Dugan and Lucy are members of the New England
K9 Search & Rescue Team.
In April, 2007, Dugan and Lucy were called out to help locate a 22
year old New Hampshire woman who was missing from her home for a day
and a half. At just 18 months of age, this was Dugan's first official
search and, while he was young and inexperienced, he clearly knew
why he was out there and what he was looking for. Dugan's continued
interest in an area convinced Lucy to move North, out of her assigned
area, to where they found the young woman, unmoving, but responsive.
She was hypothermic and, due to her mental status, unlikely to have
done anything to get herself out of the woods or to avoid succumbing
to hypothermia. Dugan, a particularly exuberant young dog, was very
quiet and careful with this young girl, demonstrating the good judgment
our breed should possess. It is important to note that this is all
done on a volunteer basis.
- Kena - D owned by Christina & Scott Vernier
from Mount Clemens, Michigan.
Kena, a 2 year-old Rottweiler, was honored in May, 2007 by the Mount
Clemens Fire Department at a ceremony at the City Hall and presented
with a 2-foot long rawhide bone. It was the first time the fire department
ever presented a heroism award to a four-legged creature.
On September 4, 2006, the Verniers were sound asleep when faulty wiring
caused a fire that sparked heavy smoke throughout the structure. Kena-D
went by the side of their bed, striking the bedside with her paws
and eventually barking in an apparent effort to alert the Verniers
of the danger. It worked. The Verniers rushed to the second floor
of the house where Christina's mother, Laverna Oak, resided and everyone
was able to safely evacuate the home without any injuries. "She
knew something was wrong and she did her best to tell us," Christina
said of her dog. Without this dog's quick actions, no one may have
gotten out alive.
- Vito Di Dio', NAPWDA & NCPDA Certified Utility/Narcotics
Dog, was owned by Lt. J. Neal & Vanessa Goodman. Vito was trained
& handled by Neal.
Vito began his service in March, 1996 at 17 months and retired in
May, 2007 at 12 ½ years old. He passed away on Easter Sunday,
March 23, 2008 Vito would have been 14 at the beginning of August.
Not only did he find the bad guys, he found children also. During
his years of service he had 75 narcotic searches; 50 school searches,
73 tracks, 8 building searches, 13 evidence searches, 2 crowd control,
29 apprehensions, 3 lost children, & 98 public demonstrations.
He recovered 1 handgun, 1 ballistic vest, 83.9 pounds of marijuana,
6 grams of hashish, 78.2 grams of cocaine/crack, 46 grams of heroin/opium
& $19,000 in U.S. currency.
