BY CHRIS MCBAIN - BERRY ASSISTANT EDITOR History is repeating itself in a family in Marblehead. And because of their patriotic beliefs and their family’s contributions, this Memorial Day may be an especially proud time for parents Raymond and Elaine Dorko. The Dorko family has a history of serving our country, from father Ray who served in the Navy during WW II, to sons Jeff and Dean, West Point graduates now on duty in Iraq, to Dean’s son Cory Matthews who is a 2007 graduate of West Point and will leave for Iraq in December. In fact, it is Brigadier General Jeff Dorko, commanding general of the Gulf Region Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who is working to rebuild the country. Artillery Officer Major Dean Dorko is responsible for gathering information on weapon systems that the troops are currently using and determining ways to make them more effective. For Jeff, the job had its dangers early in his tour when he was injured by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) while riding in an armored personnel carrier on his way to a project in northern Baghdad. He sustained shrapnel in his shoulder, thigh and Major Dean Dorko hip and was flown to Germany for recovery, then to the States for a few weeks until he was able to return to duty. The incident occurred just days after arriving in October of 2007 giving him the dubious distinction of becoming the highest ranking officer to be injured in Iraq. Chris Malfara grew up with the brothers, and all were friends from the time they were three-years-old. All are graduates of Danbury High School. “I don’t know for sure what piqued their interest in the military...Marblehead is

a very patriotic community with lots of history and tradition, and their father was a veteran so they had the example of their Dad.” Jeff, wife Amy and daughter Caroline live in Texas. Dean, wife Mary, Cory and James live in Oklahoma. Dean is hoping to retire in February of 2009, but Jeff will continue his military career. They hope to return to the States sometime in the September/October time frame. The two brothers and their parents stay in touch with phone calls. Whenever Chris Malfara and the brothers talk, he pointed out that each always marvel at and are proud of the younger people they serve with. “They do their job with pride,” he said. “Their service seems to demonstrate the tradition, patriotism and loyalty to the country. Regardless of how people feel about politics, we are blessed to have this family from Marblehead that is willing to step up and serve our country,” Malfara said.

well as the Law Enforcement Spring 2008 Employee of the Quarter on May 7 at a ceremony at the ODNR Central Office Division in Columbus. Little did Reggie suspect that when he established the criteria for the awards nearly 20 years ago, he would be presenting the plaque to his son who followed in his father’s career footsteps. Reggie also received an award for his skill in management during his job as State Park Manager for the Lake Erie Islands State Park in 1997, the year before his retirement. Reggie created the awards Reggie Langford presents the award because he believed that State Park Officers needed to be recto his son Chris. ognized for their special efforts It was a proud moment when father and actions in going above and Reggie Langford, Catawba, presented beyond the normal realm of their job two state awards to his son, Park responsibility. The Lifesaving Award was presented Officer Christopher Langford who is employed at Maumee Bay State Park, to Chris Langford because of his quick response and assistance on January 16 Oregon, OH. Officer Langford was awarded the when he responded to a call from the Lifesaving Commendation Award as Lucas County
Sheriff ’s Department concerning a head on collision on State Route 2. It resulted in the death of two men and an eight-year-old boy. At the scene, Langford removed a victim from a smoking truck and activated his automated defibrillator. He located a second person in the wreckage and helped paramedics remove the victim from the mangled truck. He also helped with CPR on the other victims. The Employee of the Quarter award was in recognition of his participation in the effort to recover stolen property and secure full confessions ending with 14 felonies out of 161 charges. During the ceremony it was stated that “Chris is always willing to go above and beyond to assist wherever he is needed. He is a dedicated employee who enjoys working with the staff and friend groups to find ways to improve the park and enhance the park experience for the public. He is very knowledgeable about Law Enforcement and is a great asset to the Law Enforcement Team at Maumee Bay State Park”.
