RECORDS The News-Messenger, Fremont, Ohio, Wednesday, September 24, 2008 Deaths Highway patrol chief juggles budget cuts last week. "We realize that everybody is hurting and everybody needs to hurt equally." But the patrol's biggest challenge is persuading lawmakers and Gov. Ted Strickland to raise fees for vehicle and driver's license registrations and other related transactions to give the patrol a long-term funding source, said Collins, a 30-year veteran of the patrol. Patrol officials have eyed potential budget shortfalls since 2004, when lawmakers approved a four-year plan that phased out using gas tax revenue for patrol funding. There were worries last year before Collins took over that some troopers would be laid off.

Strickland appointed Collins, 49, in April 2007 to replace Col. Paul McClellan, who retired. He oversees a $260 million annual budget, with 2,605 employees, including about 1,100 troopers and another 400 or so uniformed personnel spread out over 10 districts, patrol spokesman Sgt. Tim Karwatske said. By MATT REED Associated Press COLUMBUS Since taking charge of the State Highway Patrol last year, Superintendent Richard Collins has had to deal with a string of embarrassing personnel issues.

Two troopers were fired over a prank involving what looked like a Ku Klux Klan outfit, and 12 others lost their jobs over accusations they cheated on yearly exams required for law enforcement officers who give breathalyzer tests. Personnel matters have lately taken up the great majority of Collins' workload during a time when the patrol has been told to reduce spending, he said. No new state troopers were hired this year the first time since 1996 and the patrol has cut back on buying new patrol cars and postponed acquiring video cameras and other equipment. "We were asked to come up with a plan to save money and we've done that," Collins said in an Associated Press interview On August 14, 1929, she was born in Fremont to George W. and Leah E.

(Moore) Miller. On October 29, 1955, she married Charles D. 'Bud' Clady in the First Presbyterian Church in Fremont. Survivors include two sisters, Mary and Jacquelyn "Jake" Ashcraft, both of Fremont; a special niece, Patricia Ann Farr of Fremont, a special friend, Joan E. Martin, godchildren, Nevin, Mollie and Lydia Martin.

Preceding her in death along with parents and husband, on September 16, 2006, are two sisters, Patricia A. "Pat" Eborg and Kathleen "Kate" Moore Newbould. Peg was a 1947 graduate of Fremont Ross High School and member of Mohawk Golf Club where she and her husband enjoyed golfing. She retired from General Electric.
