Eastern Regional YHEC

The NMLRA will be hosting the Eastern Regional YHEC which is NRA’s Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) provides a fun environment for kids 18 and under to improve their hunting, marksmanship and safety skills. Through its simulated hunting situations, live fire exercises, educational and responsibility events, YHEC helps build upon skills learned in basic hunter education courses and encourages safer, lifelong hunting habits. https://easternregionalyhec.com/ or on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/711773303754769.

They will be using most of our range to hold their events. This will take many volunteers to make this a successful event. Below is the map of where their events are going to be on the Walter Cline Range.

NMLRA Member, Volunteer, and Firefighter in need of Kidney Transplant

GREEN TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKRC) – For nearly 20 years, Green Township firefighter and paramedic Mike Weissmann has answered the call for help. Now, he’s in a battle of his own in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

Green Township Fire Chief Scott Souders says Weismann has been fighting issues with his kidneys for about a year.

“As a result, his health has declined and he’s now on dialysis and quite literally struggling to stay alive until he can get a replacement kidney before his systems gives up,” said Souders.

Six weeks ago, Weismann was put on light duty. Now, he’s in the hospital getting dialysis treatment. The Gulf War Navy veteran joined the fire department in 2000 and was promoted to full-time in 2006.

“Mike has a good leadership role where he is a mentor to a lot of younger firefighters,” said Souders.

“He’s got a special sense of humor that not everyone might get, but he’s a funny guy. He’s also very caring, a kind-hearted dude,” said Moody.

The firefighters say Weissmann is a do-it-all-fix-it man for the department. He’s also got the right comment or joke at the right time.

We’d like to thank WKRC Local 12 reporter Brad Underwood for sharing this story.
