This article was sent to me by Judy Bushong Chrismer. D. Michael Crites was the son of Joan Clark Crites and Grandson of Della Bushong Clark. He would be the great grandson of James Alfred Bushong and Julia Marks. ---------------- Unknown newspaper 3 March 1986 --- ASSISTANT ALLEN PROSECUTOR TO HEAD FEDERAL STRIKE FORCE DAYTON (AP) ---- Assistant U. S. attorney D. Michael Crites, who has become well known in the Dayton area as prosecutor on several publicized cases, says he will become head of the new federal Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Strike Force in Columbus. The strike force will cover 31 counties in central, southeastern and eastern Ohio, ranging from Jefferson County in the northeast part of the territory, to Logan County in the northwest, and then south to Gallia County along the Ohio River. Crites, 35, of Troy, said Tuesday he will start traveling to Columbus one day a week beginning next week and gradually increase the time he spends in the capital city. he expects to be working there almost full time by May. However, he said he also will continue prosecuting important cases he has started in Dayton, including a grand jury investigation into alleged improprieties in the local law enforcement system. "I won't back off of that. There are certain investigations I've been in charge of that I won't back off. But this is an opportunity I couldn't pass up," Crites said. Crites, a former assistant Allen County prosecutor and a federal prosecutor since 1983, also has been considered, along with former state Rep,. Clair Ball Jr. of Athens, as a nominee to become U. S. attorney for southeast Ohio, headquartered in Cincinnati. While Crites was picked by state Republican leaders, Ball was picked by the Ohio congressional delegation. No action has been taken on the nomination since last fall. Meanwhile, Anthony Nyktas has been appointed by U. S. District Court as interim U. S. attorney in Cincinnati. Crites said his position in Dayton cannot be filled until a U. S. attorney is appointed by President Reagan. The new head of the strike force declined to specify what types of organized crime he expects to find in southeast Ohio, which is renowned for its raids on marijuana growers, especially in Athens and Meigs counties. "I don't know what's down there, but we're not going to go after that typical type of thing, I think," he said. Although organized crime brings to mind the Mafia, Crites said, "you've got a lot of non-traditional organized crime these days, like those biker gangs." Crites has been a prosecutor for seven years. In addition to servicing as assistant Allen County prosecutor, he served as Lima city prosecutor. He said his advantage as strike force head will be that he can work with local police. He will start in Columbus only as a coordinator among law enforcement agencies, but eventually he expects the strike force to have its own staff. --------------- Thanks to Judy Bushong Chrismer and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong

Boschong Subscribers, I spoke with Carra Bushong by telephone this afternoon and she told me that another family member had passed away 2 weeks after her son-in-law. Conrad's Uncle Larry Lapland passed away 28 June. Larry was married to Myona Bushong who was a sister to Conrad's father. I know everyone send their condolences to the family in this sad and difficult time. ------------------- Craig K. Kempf Funeral Home and Cremation Services Marshall, Michigan Sunday, 30 June 2013 LAWRENCE B. "Larry" LAPLAND Lawrence B. "Larry" Lapland, 77, of Marshall, died on Friday, 28 June 2013, at his home surrounded by his family. Larry was born 27 May 1936, in Traverse City to Lyle William and Emma Marie (Lassa) Lapland. He grew up in Traverse City and attended Traverse City schools until the age of 15, when he moved to Marshall to live with his sister and brother-in-law Leona and Glen Waidelich. After moving to Marshall, Larry attended Marshall High School where he took a job cleaning classrooms after school to earn money to help his family. When he was 17 years old his father became ill and Larry worked at the Marshall Bowling Alley setting pins (with brother-in-law Glen's help) to earn enough money to bring his parents to Marshall from Traverse City. On 29 September 1954, he started his career at Eaton's in Marshall. Larry worked several jobs at a time to make his living and care for his family over the years. He worked for McNeal Trailer Sales and at the same time ran his own trailer repair business. He was active in his community. Larry served as a Fredonia Firefighter from 1967 until 1971 when he was elected Fredonia Township Supervisor. In 1974, he chose not to run for re-election but township residents wrote him into office for another term anyway. At Eaton's Plant on Hanover Street Larry was a machine operation and then truck driver. In 1982, he took a position at the Eaton Proving Grounds where he built pump prototypes. He was a member of the UAW Local #220 and he served as Union Steward. He retired from Eaton's on 1 May 1987. Larry met Myona D. Bushong in 1955. He was smitten and waited patiently until her 16th birthday in March of 1956 to finally take her on a date (her father's rules). On 25 August 1956, the couple were united in marriage at the Waidelich home on South Marshall Avenue by Reverend George Murphy of the West Eckford Missionary Church. Reverend Murphy told Larry and Myona the marriage would never last. At this point the family has concluded he was wrong. Larry has been blessed with a long and fruitful marriage to Myona. They lovingly raised their family together and that love has been returned many times by children and grandchildren. His grandchildren call him "The Energizer Bunny" due to his seemingly endless ability to always keep on going. Larry enjoyed traveling with Myona in their motor home. For 25 years they fished together on Lake Michigan off of South Haven where they camped and made many friends. They enjoyed snowmobiling together. Larry is survived by his beloved family, his wife Myona, their three daughters: Karen Cypret of Marshall, Cindy (Todd) Calvin of Wolcottville, Indiana, Barbara (Nick) Young of Marshall, their two sons Brian (Velvet) Lapland of Tekonsha, Ronald (Laura) Lapland of Coldwater; 14 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his two sisters; Patricia Yost of Nashville, and Joan Ames of Lansing; several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Larry, his two sisters Leona Waidelich and Dorothy Yingling. Friends may call at the Craig K. Kempf Funeral Home, 723 U. S. 27 North, Marshall, on Tuesday, 2 July, from 2 PM - 8 PM with family present to greet friends from 2 PM - 4 PM and 6 PM to 8 PM. Funeral services celebrating his life will be held at 1 PM on Wednesday, 3 July 2013 at the Craig K. Kempf Funeral Home with his granddaughter Reverend Cori Lynn Cypret officiating. Interment will follow at Oakridge Cemetery. Family will gather with friends at the Fredonia Township Hall following the committal services. The family would like friends to honor Larry's memory with a memorial contribution to Oaklawn Hospice. Assistance with memorials is available at the Kempf Funeral Home. ------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong
