Ralph Rotella: Cobbler to Champion
At the New York State Fair, Ralph Rotella, who began collecting shoes for charity in 2011, was presented as the Today’s Option Champion. A Today’s Options Champion is someone who is using his or her time and talent to make a difference in the lives of an aging population. The vote was tallied previously, but today he was officially named the Grand Champion. Rotella won $10,000 for his charity, the Rescue Mission Alliance.

Coach New football coach Dino Babers and AD John Wildhack were special guests for last night’s Chiefs game. They both threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Wildhack threw a solid strike. Coach Babers, whose windup almost mimicked a young Vida Blue, went “wild thing” and threw it low and way outside. He was a good sport though and made sure to cover the plate after the passed ball. This was a great intro into the community.
