Relax - A weisses Blatt'l Papier - 1985
Relax ist eine deutsche Musikgruppe, die vor
allem in den 1980er Jahren bekannt war.
Schon vor 1981 hatten Peter Volkmann (Drums)
und Klaus Scheldt (Bass) zusammen mit Dieter
Klier (Keyboard) und Peter Näder (Gitarre,
Vocals) die Gruppe SPY gegründet, die
Rockmusik mit englischen Texten sang. Nachdem
Peter Näder als Frontmann 1981 die Gruppe
verließ, änderte sich auch der Musikstil
drastisch.
Relax nahm 1982 in der Besetzung Peter
Volkmann (Gesang), Klaus Scheldt (Bass) und
Dieter Klier (Keyboard)die Single Radio
hör'n auf. Dabei handelte es sich um einen
„bayrischen Mundartrock", welcher wiederum
ursprünglich von Reinhold Bilgeri stammte
(Video Life). Der Titel wurde bereits ein
Erfolg. Gleich nach den ersten Auftritten
fand das Trio Unterstützung von Claus
Mathias (Gitarre) und Ernst "Örnie" Singerl
(Schlagzeug), und nahmen Titel im ähnlichen
Stil wie "Radio hörn" auf. Weil i di mog und
Marie wurden die ersten großen Hits.
1983 ging die Band mit Hubert Kah, Markus und
Nena auf große Deutschland-Tour beim Levi's
Rock Festival '83.

In Memoriam
John W. Blatt, elevator consultant and former
mayor of Put-in-Bay, died Thursday, February
21, 2008 at The Lutheran Memorial Home in
Sandusky. He was 68.
John was born in New Martinsville, West
Virginia to Carl and Evelyn (Ward) Blatt.
John was valedictorian of the class of 1957
at Magnolia High School in New Martinsville.
John earned his Bachelors of Science in
Industrial Management in 1961 from The Ohio
State University where he was active in the
Navy ROTC, served as president of his
fraternity, Phi Kappa Theta, and the
Interfraternity Council, and received the
President's Award of Excellence from
1959-1961. His ROTC experience led to his
service in the United States Navy following
graduation. John served as a lieutenant on
the USS Skate, which was one of the first
nuclear submarines.
His business career began at the Haughton
Elevator Company where he was employed from
1967-1977 when he joined Kerschner Elevator
where he remained until 1984. In that year he
founded his own elevator consultant company,
John W. Blatt Elevator Consulting, Inc. which
he owned and operated until he retired in
2007.
Well known and respected in the vertical
transportation industry, John's consultancy
was one of the leaders in the United States.
He frequently taught and spoke at various
conventions and seminars in the industry.
Clients included major universities,
hospitals, office buildings, apartments,
housing authorities and factories throughout
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Florida, Michigan and other states.
He also served on various committees and
boards including the Board of Directors of
Elevator U and the Board of the National
Association of Vertical Transportation
Professionals where he also served as Ethics
Chairman. John was also a member of the
National Assn. of Elevator Safety
Authorities, the National Assn. of Elevator
Contractors, and a qualified Elevator
Inspector certified by ASME.
A resident of Put-in-Bay, OH, from 1984-2002,
John served that community as mayor from
1996-2002. During his tenure, he led efforts
to improve quality of life through increased
law enforcement and other initiatives in the
island community that attracts thousands of
visitors every summer. He took great pride in
attracting events to the island and enjoyed
officiating at weddings and other significant
events. As mayor, John established a
scholarship fund for deserving graduates of
Ottawa County high schools. While living in
Put-in-Bay, John served on Village Council
from 1986-1987, owned the bakery and was a
real estate broker and owned and operated the
Island Realty Company. He was also a member
of the Put-in-Bay Yacht Club.
While serving as mayor, John's great
appreciation for law enforcement personnel
became even greater. He became, and remained
throughout the rest of his life, a supporter
of law enforcement agencies, sponsoring drug
enforcement and interdiction training
seminars. John purchased two police canines
for area departments, including Ajax,
Put-in-Bay's first police K-9, who was
imported from Germany. Ajax died in the line
of duty in Put-in-Bay. The second K-9 John
purchased was an import from the Czech
Republic, Alex, who has served a number of
local departments and is currently serving in
Marblehead. John has also donated funds to
local police departments to help fight the
drug war. John's commitment to law
enforcement was further demonstrated by his
serving as Advisor to the Board of the
African American Law Enforcement Agents Assn.
Returning to the mainland in 2002, John made
Port Clinton, OH, his home so he could be
near good friends and his beloved Lake Erie.
In typical John Blatt fashion, he immediately
became involved in and supportive of the
community. He was a member of Historic Port
Clinton where he was involved in putting on
the annual Walleye Festival. John initiated
the Education Tent and the educational events
at the festival. He was also a member of the
Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce, the Catawba
Island Club, and various other groups and
activities.
In everything John did, he was committed. In
addition to the above activities, John was a
member of The Ottawa County Republican
Central Committee, The Great Lakes Historical
Society, life member of the Lake Erie Islands
Historical Society, life member of The Ohio
State University Alumni Assn., former member
of the Northwest Ohio Mayors and Managers
Assn., former board member of Toledo Economic
Planning Council, former advisor to the US
Small Business Administration, former
president of the Toledo Area Small Business
Assn., and a delegate to the White House
Conference on Small Business in 1980.
John's presence, wisdom, guidance, and
enthusiasm will be truly missed by all who
knew him.
