Okay, so I was wrong. The article implied a permit was taken out by stating "He says if the building permit shows that Wesley built the garage in 1998, that would be in excess of 15 years." It didn't actually state a permit was taken out, though. The permit was shown in the video portion.

Going to my time-out corner now.

My dad is 87 and served in navy for the final month of the war.

A lot of men who were in basic training at the time the war ended are indeed WWII veterans based on their induction dates, even though they were only assigned to the occupation forces in Europe or Japan.

I’m not sure why this even made the news. It sounds like a run of the mill boundary dispute. Mr. Wesley built his garage a few feet over the property line, probably not even realizing he was encroaching on the Country Club. Country Club’s demand of $75,000 is unreasonable. I used to live in OP, and 60 sq. ft. is not worth anywhere near that much.

Mr. Wesley being an old, disabled, WWII has nothing to do with the story.

Wnenever I've closed on a mortgage I've had to buy title insurance for the lender and it was offered to me. I've always passed on it,

I do not know about Ohio, but in Texas the premium for an Owner's Policy, in addition to the Lender's Policy, is an addition $100. Regardless of the amount of the Lender's Policy. If you borrow $5,000,000 when buying a house, you can insure your title for a 100 bucks.

“A lot of men who were in basic training at the time the war ended are indeed WWII veterans based on their induction dates, even though they were only assigned to the occupation forces in Europe or Japan.”

The last organized Axis resistance was the surrender of a Japanese garrison in December 1945. For many purposes the official end of the Second World War for determining benefits of American servicemen was established by Presidential Proclamation (Proc. no. 2714, 61 Stat. 1048) as 31 December 1946.

According to the last comment at the bottom of the article, the Country Club has backed down.
