AARP seeks tax prep volunteers

Salvation Army bell ringers needed

Volunteers are needed to ring the Sal-vation Army bell outside the Broadview Heights Giant Eagle near state Route 82 and I-77. Money donated in the Salvation Army kettle helps people in need in Broadview Heights, Brecksville, Independence and Seven Hills. Many times, it prevents electricity and natural gas shut-offs at homes whose residents can’t afford to keep the lights on and the furnace running. To volunteer, call hu-man services at 440-526-2499. ∞

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, the na-tion’s largest free volunteer-run tax assis-tance and preparation service, is seeking volunteers to assist taxpayers in southwest and south-central Cuyahoga County.

In 2018, AARP is opening a new tax preparation site in Brecksville and re-turning to established sites in Broadview Heights, North Royalton, Parma, Strongsville, Brook Park and Middleburg Heights. Volunteers do not have to be retired or a member of AARP.

Leaders, tax return preparers and greet-ers are needed. All sites use electronic filing. Volunteers are expected to work at a site for at least five hours per week during the tax season, which runs from the first week in February through April 15. Each volunteer must have an email address. Computer experience is preferred

but not required. Volunteers do not need previous income tax experience. Leaders and tax preparers take a free two-week tax law and ethics course in January. Greeters take a free one-day course on ethics and administration.

Tax-Aide is an IRS-supported program offered by the AARP Foundation that pro-vides free assistance to taxpayers, with spe-cial attention given to senior citizens with low to moderate incomes. Recruitment of volunteers is on a non-discriminatory basis, without consideration of race, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation.

Brecksville bicyclist run over by car credits helmet for saving his life

by Erica PetersonDoug and Maggie Stumpfl were finish-

ing a bike ride through Brecksville Sept. 5 around 12:30 p.m. They were about a mile from their Hollis Lane home, head-ing east on Route 82, when Doug reached Brecksville Road.

Maggie, the founding member of Bike Brecksville, was about 20 feet behind Doug when she saw him ride into the crosswalk to cross Brecksville Road.

Though the sign was flashing “Walk,” Maggie yelled at him to stop, concerned that he was riding his bike instead of walking it across the busy intersection.

Doug slammed on his brakes so hard that he flipped over his handlebars, landing on his hands and knees in the crosswalk. Before he could get up, Mag-gie said, the unthinkable happened: A car heading east on Route 82 turned right onto Brecksville Road and ran over her husband.

“The car dragged him about 10 feet, on his face,” Maggie said. “I’m screaming and

M12 BIKE ACCIDENTDoug Stumpfl of Brecksville attends the Chippewa Elementary Bike Rally after his accident. Photo by J. Kananian

screaming, screaming my head off, and the car never stopped.”

Doug, 51, remained conscious after the car ran over his shoulder and head.

“It was hard to breathe, and I knew there was something seriously wrong with my arm,” he said.

His left shoulder blade was broken in three places, and he got a mild concus-sion and many cuts and bruises on his face and head. Maggie said he had a tire track impression along his back for weeks. But he’s alive.

“If I didn’t have on my helmet, I’d be dead, I’m sure,” he said.

It wasn’t until rescue crews arrived and tended to Doug that he realized the car had driven off. Maggie and other wit-nesses, including pedestrians and drivers who stopped to help, were able to give police a description of the car.

Brecksville Police Lt. Robert Johnson said Oct. 3 that the incident remains under investigation, and that police have a lead in the case.

Bike safety educationBoth the Stumpfls hope the incident

helps reinforce the importance of bike safety.

That’s part of the work that Bike Brecks-ville, a chapter of Bike Cleveland, focuses on, Maggie said. The group aims to help create safe places to ride, to educate cyclists and to help enforce safety rules.

One of the biggest safety measures is wearing a bike helmet.

“I grew up in the ‘70s,” Doug said. “I never wore a helmet; nobody did.”

But with more cars and bicycles sharing the road, helmets are a must, he said.

“Not every driver cares about pedestri-ans or bicyclists having the right of way,” Doug said.

And wearing them is not enough, Mag-gie said; they need to be worn correctly. Bike Brecksville conducts bike rodeos, such as the one Sept. 16 at Chippewa Elementary, where they helped ensure that helmets fit properly.

“The strap needs to be tight, and the helmet needs to be on the top of the head, not pushed back,” she said.

A good rule of thumb is you should be able to fit two fingers between the strap

and your chin, and the brim of the helmet should sit no higher than two fingers from your eyebrows, she said.

At the Chippewa Elementary rodeo, MetroHealth provided free helmets for students in grades K-3, while Bike Brecksville performed bike safety checks and bike handling lessons.

The group is also working with high school students, teaching them safe bicy-cling. Bike Brecksville sponsored a Tow-path Social Ride with students Oct. 7, and it included a bike safety and helmet check.

“Brecksville is a beautiful place to ride,” Maggie said. “A lot of people like us moved here because of all the parks, and it’s up to

riders to learn how to do it safely.”Although drivers, too, need to be aware

of cyclists, the responsibility for safety is on the bicyclist, she said.

“I remind riders that even though you might be right, you’re also the one who’s going to be dead,” Maggie said.

Service director retires; mayor takes over dutiesby Jacqueline MitchellSept. 19 city council meeting

Brecksville Mayor Jerry Hruby an-nounced at the meeting that service director Ron Weidig had retired and needed to take care of personal matters. Weidig was not present at the meeting.

For now, the mayor will serve as acting service director.

Weidig, a former Lakewood police officer, began working for the city part time in 2001 as property maintenance and zoning inspector. Eventually, Hruby said, Weidig began working full time and took on the additional role of adminis-trative aide to the mayor in 2002. He held those three titles until 2008, when Hruby recommended him for appoint-ment as service director.

“We were able to convince him to come to work for us, and he just grew in his duties as his talents became more and more evident,” Hruby said. “We’re going to miss him a lot. He is someone that’s going to be very difficult to replace.”

Hruby said Weidig’s work surpassed typical service department responsibili-ties, and he oversaw many projects over the course of his career. He was instru-mental in the upgrade of city equipment, including advancing to stainless steel bodies and wheels on the city’s trucks. He implemented a change of light fix-tures in all city buildings to promote energy efficiency.

Weidig also oversaw the installation of the turf field and several buildings at Blossom Hill, the salt barn, storage

facility/horticultural building and com-munity garden on Stadium Drive, the bicentennial obelisk at City Hall, and, most recently, the renovation of the his-toric Old Town Hall front entrance and reconstruction of its cupola.

“He upgraded our buildings to be in compliance with various fire codes, which was another thing he was a stickler for,” Hruby added. “He expanded our recycling program, which is an award-winning program.”

Beyond that, Hruby said, Weidig was trusted and respected by city employees.

“He was certainly a confidante to the mayor and members of council. … He was extremely dedicated, very loyal to the city, and me and council, and his integrity was beyond reproach,” he said.

Hruby said council would present a resolution of commendation to Weidig at the next meeting.

Route 82 project modifiedCouncil approved paying CATTS

Construction an extra $34,248 for the Route 82 construction project to add more steel joints to the pavement and prevent cracks in the future.

City engineer Gerald Wise said the contractor recently brought the issue to his attention, and he and the mayor agree with the recommendation to increase the number of joints.

According to Wise, the project meets Ohio Department of Transportation standards without the extra steel. How-

Brecksville is a community with a rich and long history. The character and culture of Brecksville is in its neighborly residents and its beautiful neighborhoods. These neighborhoods and the commercial and industrial areas that provide a stong tax base are the result of careful planning by our city leaders throughout the decades. As a 16-year member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, I have worked to balance the interests of property owners who appeared before the Board while preserving Brecksville’s character.

My wife and I are 20 year Brecksville residents who love the community we call home. I am running for Council to continue to preserve Brecksville’s historical character while working for its residents to secure that Brecksville remains a desirable community for all its residents. I will work with City Council and the Mayor, to assure that:

• the City’s revenues are spent wisely• programs and services for all residents

are maintained and improved• development of land will maximize

tax revenue while preserving the character of our community

• budgets are carefully and thoughtfully prepared and analyzed

• borrowing is done only when necessary and on terms favorable to the City

• long term expenditures will be forecasted and planned for in a fiscally responsible manner

• the tax credit is returned to 100% as soon as fiscally possible

When you vote in November, I ask you to give me the honor of representing you.

Vista Springs Macedonia is more than just a place seniors come for long-term care. The residential

care facility works to create a vibrant, lively community full of activities, social engagement, compassionate medical care and a focus on the individual.

Vista Springs has locations in Ohio and Michigan. The Macedonia location opened in December 2015, and Executive Director Susan Krupitzer has been there

every step of the way.

“I actually start-ed before the walls were even up,” she said.

Krupitzer began her role that Au-gust, touring with contractors dur-ing construction. She joked that she

even knows where all the pipes in the 100-unit facility are located.

The facility’s apartments are divided into two sections. Seventy are designated as assisted living, while the remaining 30 are for memory care, or, as Vista Springs calls them, “rediscovery neighborhoods.”

“Our rediscovery neighborhoods are for those who need a secure environ-ment or higher staffing ratio,” Krupitzer explained.

Amenities include home health care and outpatient rehabilitation services, well-ness assessments, housekeeping, bathing, dressing and grooming services, as well as hydration, medication and fall manage-ment – anything community members need, up to and including hospice care.

“Our mission is to provide full-of-life experiences day in and day out to those that we’re privileged to serve, and we do that with heart-centered care,” Krupitzer said.

She said she believes in leading with in-tegrity from a top-down approach.

“I don’t ask my staff to do anything I wouldn’t do,” she said. “Everyone is a team; everyone is a family. Everyone just picks up where help is needed.”

She added that all of the managers have an open-door policy.

“We’re all here to help each other,” she said.

Krupitzer, a gerontologist, has a strong background in elder care. She’s worked within the home health care industry as an elder care coordinator in subsidized senior living, and in elder law as an elder advocate. She has a license in nursing home adminis-tration, is a certified executive in assisted liv-ing and serves as a notary public.

“When my families have questions about VA benefits, long-term health care or home health care, I’m able to help with those things,” she said. “My history tends to help put families at ease because I have that knowledge base from a lot of aspects of health care. It puts them at ease that I’m going to help them with any avenues that come up.”

When she worked in elder law, Krupitzer traveled to six counties and 140 homes, ranging from group to private. Though each place was different, they all circled back to the same themes.

“The major concerns are usually call light times, food and activities,” she said. “Those big segments are where I put a lot of my time and attention.”

Krupitzer said she is continually working with staff to improve the facility’s system to monitor call lights.

“We staff based on acuity, not ratio, to best take care of our community members,” she said.

The facility hired a chef to prepare meals and offer a restaurant-style experience.

As far as activities, Krupitzer said Allie Zabrosky, Vista Springs Macedonia’s life engagement director, works to develop a calendar around residents’ wants and needs. Zabrosky is a certified dementia practitioner certified in senior fitness and has a back-ground in home health and hospice.

Vista Springs Macedonia combines welcoming atmosphere and award-winning care

“She meets with them every month at community council,” said Krupitzer. “They remove activities they don’t want to repeat and talk about what they want to add.”

About once a week, Zabrosky takes community members on an outing. She’s taken community members to Sarah’s Vineyard to taste wine, b.a. Sweetie Candy Co. to celebrate Sweetest Day and Lake County to attend a sausage festival. Veterans have attended a D-Day reenact-ment. Other outings include trips to the zoo, the theater and, recently, a sunflower field.

“She’s just trying to take what they did in their lives before they moved in and allow that to continue,” Krupitzer said. “Just because they moved here doesn’t mean they can’t go to the theater, can’t go to the museum, can’t go out to eat.”

On-site activities include an open gym, a morning social, creative expression, card games, trivia, “foodie fun” bak-ing and more. There are clubs dedicated to books and walking. Some days, men gather in the “man cave” to drink beer and watch a game. Fridays are for cock-tail hour and movie night, with matinees shown on Saturdays and Sundays.

Recently, Vista Springs Macedonia was named a 2017 Best of Assisted Liv-ing Award winner on senioradvisor.com. Krupitzer said the culture is what sets it apart from other assisted living facilities.

“What I hear all the time from our families, our vendors, our physicians, is it’s just the culture,” she said. “It’s wel-coming, it’s upbeat, it’s kind. It’s just a dif-ferent feeling that everyone enjoys their job and enjoys being here. You can just feel it when you walk in the door.”

She also prides herself and her staff on working to improve based on feedback.

“I pledge to all of my family members when they come in that they can come to me with anything,” said Krupitzer. “I’m always working with my team to improve and surpass their expectations.”

Vista Springs Macedonia is located at 8400 S. Bedford Rd. Bundled pricing is available at various levels. For more information, call 330-813-8855 or visit vistaspringsliving.com/vista-springs-macedonia.

ever, Wise said he thinks the additional joints will increase the lifespan of the pavement.

“ODOT, they’re trying to get away from steel in the pavement, but what we’re concerned about is that if we don’t increase these, we’re concerned that possibly the slabs can crack right in the middle,” he said.

He said Snowville Road offers a prime example of what happens when an inadequate amount of steel is used to reinforce pavement.

“You can see where all these joints are, where they’ve cracked in the middle,” Wise said. “So, we want to try and tighten that up [on Route 82].”

Wise said the contractor would be noti-fied immediately of the change.

2019 widening updateBroadview Heights is moving forward

with plans for the 2019 widening of Route 82, according to Wise. He said Broadview Heights officials reported the city remains on schedule with the project.

The next steps in the project include tree clearing and pole relocation, which FirstEnergy will handle, Wise said.

The two cities have a verbal agreement that Broadview Heights will pay 70 per-cent of the project cost and Brecksville will pay 30 percent, he said, since the majority of the 1.5-mile project is in Broadview Heights.

Service department laborCouncil rescinded an ordinance be-

tween the city and Minute Men Staffing for temporary general labor staffing ser-vices for the Brecksville Service Depart-ment and subsequently accepted the bid of Safe Staffing of Ohio.

Purchasing director Becki Riser said the city decided to terminate the contract with Minute Men due to ongoing atten-dance, performance and behavior-related issues dating back to January.

“These incidents created difficult situations for our service department on a consistent basis,” Riser said. “For example, already being short-staffed, the attendance issues caused our service foreman to make last-minute changes in employee assignments to fulfill all the necessary services required on these days. With adverse weather conditions just around the corner, it was of paramount importance that we have the necessary manpower in place to manage all the service needs for the city.”

She said as soon as the contract termi-nation notice was issued to Minute Men, the company stopped providing workers, and the city immediately began working with Safe Staffing.

“For the past several days, all issues have been resolved, and the service de-partment has been having a very good experience,” Riser said.

New airbag systemCouncil approved paying Finley Fire

Equipment $17,281 for a Paratech res-

cue airbag vehicle stabilization system for the fire department.

According to Fire Chief Nikola Za-miska, the system can be used during car accidents to stabilize vehicles while personnel attend to victims.

The department is purchasing a five-bag set, and Zamiska said one bag could lift a bulldozer by itself. The bags are reusable and estimated to last 20 to 30 years, he said.

“With the turnpike and [Interstate] 77 and other hazards, we felt it was really important to have,” said Zamiska, add-ing that the department had been eyeing the purchase for six or seven years.

New police officerJohn Muller was appointed to the

police department as a full-time patrol-man. Muller will replace detective James Lobenthal, who is retiring in January. Muller was previously an officer with the Regional Transit Authority.

In other business, council:• Approved a payment of $17,335 to A.R.J. Inc. for the removal and replace-ment of skylight covers on the Brecksville service garage ceiling.• Authorized Riser to advertise for bids for the installation of spray foam insula-tion on the service garage ceiling.• Passed an ordinance retaining the local government services of the Auditor of the State’s Office to assist in preparing the city’s comprehensive annual financial reports for 2017, 2018 and 2019.• Approved a $3,000 purchase order for basketball supplies for the community center.• Approved a $9,277 payment to Wichert Insurance for a builder’s risk policy as construction begins on the new police station.• Approved a blanket vendor purchase requisition for $7,794 for carbide plow blades and curb guard for the upcoming winter season.• Approved two sanitary sewer easements and one storm sewer easement related to the Village, a Petros Homes subdivision under construction on Snowville Road.• Met in executive session as a commit-tee of the whole to discuss personnel, specifically retirement and a replacement candidate, as well as real estate and the sale of an easement. ∞

Brecksville Mayor Jerry Hruby and purchasing director Becki Riser present-ed to Brecksville City Council the win-ners of the second annual P.E.E.R. (Pro-moting Employee Excellence through Recognition) awards.

Riser, finance director Virginia Price and Police Chief William Goodrich spearheaded the planning committee for the awards program. Employees nominated peers for exceptional effort and performance of duties. From there, department heads had the task of select-ing winners.

From a pool of 19 nominations for 16 employees, the committee selected five winners. The P.E.E.R. winners for 2017 are retired executive administrator to the mayor Bonnie Longo, police officer Ken Septaric, firefighter/paramedic Mark Bender, building engineer Tony Graham and dispatcher Donna Rees.

“It [peer recognition] really shows that you go above and beyond to make this

community what it is,” council President Gregory Skaljac said.

New police departmentCouncil passed resolutions related to

the new police department that is under construction. Council approved hiring Geo-Sci for third-party construction observation and materials testing for $24,000, increased the amount allocated for engineering design services by Don-ald G. Bohning and Associates by $3,500 for a total of $52,750 and approved the relocation of utility poles by First Energy Services for $16,914.

In other business, council:• Authorized the mayor to enter into a $7,160 agreement with TMS Engineers for a traffic signal support inspection for the traffic signal mast arm supports at 15 intersections.• Authorized the mayor to seek financial assistance from the Ohio Public Works Commission for the Riverview Road Slope Slippage Project.• Approved $5,906 for supplies and ma-terials from Larsen Lumber for the city

to build a handicap ramp onto Building No. 3 at Blossom Hill to make the struc-ture compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.• Increased the approved amount for supplies for the permanent Safety Town by $1,500, bringing the total to $4,000. ∞

Today’s Topic: Growing Pains

In the middle of the night, your child wakes with throbbing leg pain. You rub the legs, maybe give some pain reliever, and the pain is gone the next day. But it comes back the next evening…or maybe not. The pediatrician cannot diagnose any other disease, and the child eventually goes months without these pains. Sound familiar?

These are probably “growing pains,” a term coined around 150 years ago to refer to the muscle pain felt in the calves, thighs and the backs of the knees. They affect 20-35% of children of various ages, usually completely subsiding by the teen years. No one really knows the cause of this mysterious pain, and the intensity of pain can vary.

What can you do? Foremost, make sure your child is seen by his/her pediatrician to rule out a more serious diagnosis. (Ruling out a more serious cause of pain is the only way growing pains are diagnosed.) Massaging the affected muscles can help, as can heat from a heating pad or a warm bath with Epsom salts in it. But chiropractic adjustments can help with muscle pain associated with growing pains, too, and preliminary studies show its affect can be almost immediate and lasting. Using x-ray, palpation, thermography and other tests, I employ a specific technique that allows me to pinpoint the spinal or joint misalignments (called “subluxations”) that might be causing a child to have leg cramps or pains commonly called growing pains. By getting to the root of the problem, you can avoid long, tear-filled nights or having to give drugs to dull the pain – neither of which are good for children.

The Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District is pleased to share a few academic accolades that demonstrate our dedication to providing the best educa-tion.

First, the district’s overall statewide ranking improved to No. 11 out of more than 600 school districts, elevating our rank from No. 35 in the state last year. The district received an A in the Achievement and Graduation Rate components of the state report card as well. The milestone of advancing so far up the rankings is a testament to the hard work, dedication and performance of our students, teach-ers, administration and parents.

This year’s overall performance earned BBHCSD the Barney Dunnan Award, which recognizes the superintendent and school district that have the highest over-all value added gain index on the 2017

state report card.In addition, students in the district ex-

ceeded their previously held and already high-achieving average ACT scores, from a 25 in 2016 to a mark of 25.4 in 2017. These scores place our school district well above the state average of 22.

Finally, the district would like to con-gratulate the members of the class of 2018 who were either named as semifinalists or commended in this year’s National Merit Scholarship Competition.

Semifinalists are Brandon Deuch, Caro-line Drinko, Jihoon (Paul) Woo, Aaron Yeh and Frank Zhu. They scored in the

top 1 percent of 1.6 million juniors who took the PSAT last fall.

Samantha Barchet, Grace Bird, Sydney Hudacek, Daniel Kadir, Chuiqi Meng, Nikitha Murikinati, Cassidy Naypauer, Daniel Rohrer, Austin Samhric and Ri-anna Thomas earned commended status, scoring in the top 2 percent of all test-takers nationwide.

As the school year progresses, BBHCSD will build off this solid academic per-formance, as one family in one district, continuing to fulfill the mission of pro-viding a fine heritage of education to our students. ∞

Editor’s Note: In November, Brecksville vot-ers select four at-large council members. This year, there are six candidates running for positions. Brecksville Magazine sent all the candidates a questionnaire. Each candidate was limited to a maximum of 250 words. Here are their unedited answers:

Name: Dennis R. RoseAge: 60Occupation: lawyer

Name: Michael G. Dobronos Esq.Age: 51Occupation: at-torney and hearing officer for the State of Ohio Industrial Commission

Name: Louis N. Carouse Jr. Age: 64Occupation: consultant

Name: Jack PetscheOccupation: commercial roofing business owner/attorney

Name: Daryl KingstonAge: 45Occupation: back-ground in business and finance

Name: Michael T. HarwoodAge: 54Occupation: vice president of con-struction - Rycon

Brecksville Council candidates

1. What are your qualifications for this position?

Carouse: As a councilman for the past

28 years, I have served on all council committees, boards and commissions, president for two years and vice president for four years. Living in Brecksville since 1957 and attending K-12 in Brecksville schools, I have seen the city as a child, student, adult and parent. I am a busi-nessman with strong financial experience and education. I am involved in many community organizations. My record demonstrates strong fiscal conservatism,

controlled growth and a patient vision for our future.

Dobronos: My qualifications are that I have been an attorney for over 26 years. Also, I have over 25 years of government service as a hearing officer. I am a longtime resident as I graduated from Brecksville High School in 1984 and for the last 15 years have been a resident and small busi-ness owner (law practice) in Brecksville.

Harwood: Current vice president of


Brecksville City Council, vice president for past two years. City council member for eight years, chairman of buildings and grounds, past chairman of utilities committee. Member of the streets and sidewalks and finance committees. Council representative for the planning commis-sion for eight years. Planning commission citizen member 13 years, Planning Com-mission chairman four years, Planning commission secretary two years. Cuyahoga Valley Youth Organization; founding member and vice president.

Kingston: I will dedicate myself to ensure that lines of communication remain open between our residents and city government. Having been elected to

the State Central Committee in 2015, through my family’s involvement in many community programs and walking door to door during this campaign, there is a recurring theme I’m hearing among resi-dents of them not feeling that their voices have been heard when it came to major decisions that the city has made over the past several years. I will be the voice to this silent majority of people, of which I am one, who love this community and want to make sure that Brecksville stays as great as it is and want to make it even better. I will make sure all residents’ voices are heard.

Petsche: I am a 20-year resident of Brecksville and raised my family here.

I have run a successful small business, a commercial roofing company, for over 30 years. I know how to collaborate with people to get things done within budget and on time. I am also an attorney. I am civic minded, having coached many children’s baseball and basketball teams. I belong to and lead a number of construc-tion industry organizations.

Rose: I have served on Brecksville’s board of zoning appeals for 16 years and have chaired the board for 11 years. Dur-ing that time many issues concerning the use and development of property in the city have come before the board. This

experience makes me uniquely qualified to address the major near term issue fac-ing the city – the development of the VA property. In addition my 30 years prac-ticing law, including serving as general counsel of a major law firm gives me the experience to evaluate and make sound decisions on the issues that the city will face in the future.

2. What will your top priority be upon taking office?

Carouse: The city now has control of the VA property, and we will look to market its redevelopment in a fashion consistent with the voter approved zon-ing, office lab with an overlay of condi-tionally approved retail. This property had been a significant contributor to our income tax revenue and we look to have it become so again.

Dobronos: My top priority is to smartly control the development of the VA prop-erty to its maximum potential tax base in order to prevent an increase in taxes.

Harwood: The development of the VA property, as well as other parcels that are positioned well for proper development and tax revenues. We will continue to look at all existing facilities, potential facilities, streets and sidewalks program and infrastructure projects that continue to improve our city.

Kingston: To continue the legacy of financial integrity that our city is known for. I’m for strict adherence to our zoning laws and for maintaining and improving our current levels of city service.

Petsche: My top priority will be to involve our citizens more in the gov-ernmental process by insisting that all proposed tax increases are voted on by the people, not city council, that city council meetings are filmed and posted online, that our new master plan has citizen input and promotes a more bike friendly, walkable city.

Rose: Increasing tax revenue from ex-cellent corporate citizens and using that revenue in a fiscally responsible manner to maintain and grow the services our

neighbors need and want.3. How do you envision the city trans-

forming the VA property if and when permission is obtained from Congress?

Carouse: With the assistance of a developer, our plan has been to attract and market to companies that can bring a significant income tax base. We look to coordinate this development with the adjoining property to the west.

Dobronos: I envision the city maxi-mizing the potential development at the VA property in order that it becomes the economic engine for city revenue. Rede-velopment must include larger corporate headquarters, high-end tech offices and cutting edge lab space with a few new upscale dining experiences. More im-portantly, I would like to invite a major college like the Ohio State University to construct a satellite regional commuter college campus concentrating in S.T.E.M. curriculum. Finally, we need to increase “walkability” in the city. Brecksville needs to increase walking and biking paths in and throughout Brecksville.

Harwood: Through a long process the administration has finalized the transfer of the VA property in fee simple for the city’s full ownership, while at the same time has presented to our residents the zoning classifications for proper development, and through last November’s election the voters overwhelming approved those zoning requirements. We are currently active with the established CIC to final-ize a development agreement in which a phased development plan that will gen-erate tax revenues will be implemented, incorporating various partnerships with successful companies along with support services for the current business sector and residents. Important to note this will be done at no cost or liability to the city.

Kingston: The city is in the final steps to owning the former VA hospital property. The voters of Brecksville wisely voted to rezone the property last fall, which will al-low for many new and diverse businesses to open their doors. This growth will provide a much-needed boost to our city’s tax base.

Petsche: I envision the VA Hospital buildings coming down and new office buildings being erected that will bring good jobs and tax revenue to our city and property tax revenue to our schools. Per-haps one of our major hospitals will put up a building there. Amazon is looking to build a second corporate headquarters and is reportedly considering the Brecksville VA property according to Cleveland.com.

Rose: The development of the VA prop-erty provides an opportunity to grow the city’s tax base with excellent corporate citizens while developing retail and ser-vice businesses that benefit the residents of Brecksville.

4. What is your stance on the growth and sale of medical marijuana within the city?

Carouse: As a member of council, I voted yes to place on the November ballot an issue that would amend the planning and zoning code prohibiting in all districts the cultivation, processing or dispensing of marijuana for a medical purpose. Whatever income may be derived from this activity, it is not worth the risk these activities may bring to our community. I hope this issue passes in November.

Dobronos: I am against the growth and sale of medical marijuana within the city as it is against federal law which controls over state and city laws.

Harwood: Against, and have voted

as such.Kingston: I support the issue that our

current council has put on the ballot, which prohibits the research, develop-ment and distribution of marijuana in our city. Legalizing marijuana in our city sends a bad message to our youth.

Petsche: I support city council’s decision to put the issue of producing, and cultivat-ing medical marijuana in Brecksville on the

ballot and let the people decide.Rose: City council made the decision to

place the issue on the ballot for the people of Brecksville to decide. If the planning and zoning codes are not amended by voters in November, I believe council should carefully evaluate and balance the financial benefits of having such activi-ties in the city with the negatives of such businesses. ∞

Editor’s Note: In November, Brecksville and Broadview Heights voters select two Board of Education members. This year, there are three candidates running. Brecksville Magazine/Broadview Journal sent all the candidates a questionnaire. Each candidate was limited to a maximum of 250 words. Here are their unedited answers:

Brecksville/Broadview Heights Schools Board of Education

1. What are your qualifications for this position?

Kramer: I am an 11-year resident of Brecksville, with two children currently attending school in the district. During that time, I have been an active volunteer in a variety of positions for the PSOs at several district schools. I also am a practic-ing attorney in Cleveland.

Pedersen: I have advocated for public schools for many decades. I belong to the North East Ohio Friends of Public Education. I started and managed my own distribution business the last 20 years of my successful executive career. I retired after selling my business to a company we represented. That put our customers, stakeholders and both businesses in a win-win situation. A win-win solution is how I did business and that is what I will work to do if elected to the school board.

Schrader: Qualifications: Raised three sons in the BBHCSD. Spouse Frances is a special education aide in BBHSCD and

a special education teacher by train-ing. MSSA in Social Science Adminis-tration from Case Western Reserve University. B.A., the Ohio State Uni-versity. Served on various nonprofit boards.

2. A recent as-sessment reported that four of the district’s six school buildings are in need of replacement. How should the district deal with its aging facilities?

Kramer: Up-to-date facilities are an im-portant facet of the quality of education. The question of updating aging facilities is a complex one that the current board is already studying. I am open to exploring creative ways to update these facilities in the face of declining student enrollment without overburdening taxpayers.

Pedersen: The building upgrade needs to provide our children a 21st century learning environment with minimal, if any, additional tax millage to the taxpayers in the district. I have enjoyed participating on the school district’s Facilities Planning Committee, developing the solution to this problem and I will support the solu-

tion the commit-tee recommends to the board.

Schrader: Aging facilities: District has already conducted an assessment of its fa-cilities and potential alternatives (new vs. refurbish). Benchmark alternatives with other communities across the country to examine impact. Engage community in an extensive dialogue re: costs, timeline and impact on learning (how will this benefit children and improve our commu-nity). Provide tours of the aging facilities to important constituencies throughout the community.

3. Aside from building renovations, what is the most important issue facing the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District?

Kramer: One of the most important issues facing the district today is the challenge of providing a high quality education for all of our students in the face of changing economics – particularly reductions in state funding – and chang-ing demographics.

Pedersen: The most important issue facing the school district remains how to best bring all entities of the district, the board, the administration and the teach-ers together to provide the best possible learning environment for the children without placing an undue financial bur-den on the citizens of the district.

Schrader: There are three vital issues (all as important as capital infrastructure): Making certain children are provided the tools to develop and position themselves as leaders for the 21st century through the use of technology and experiential learn-

ing. Safety: addressing internal (bullying) and external (violence) threats. Teacher/administration/community relations. Better communication, less vitriol.

4. During teacher negotiations earlier this year, some criticized the school board for putting finances ahead of quality education for the district’s chil-dren. How do you respond?

Kramer: The teacher negotiations ear-lier this year were rather rancorous. It is important to learn from that experience in the hope that it does not re-occur. The school board is faced with the difficult task of balancing the realities of a limited budget with a desire to provide the best education possible. All parties involved

in that type of situation need to conduct themselves the same way we try to teach our children to conduct themselves – respectfully and with a greater focus on listening rather than on being heard. My primary goal in any type of school board negotiation will be to do what is best for the students within the realities of our financial capabilities.

Pedersen: I would like to believe the board did not put finances ahead of quality education. I am convinced, however that the board had difficulty communicating during the negotiations. I was pleased to see our new board president mention her goal of improving communications in a recent publication. One of my stated

objectives is to improve communications between the board and its stakeholders.

Schrader: Teacher negotiations: I supported the levy. However I do not believe you can equate “quality educa-tion” with “finances.” “Higher pay” does not necessarily mean “better education for children.” If so I would like to see the independent study supporting this claim. Unfortunately board members can be easy political targets in questioning this assumption. Teachers deserve wages reflective of the importance of their work. However, to suggest pay and quality are directly related is contrary to the scientific method teachers spend so much time educating us about. ∞

District parents are worthy of board seats

To the Editor:As parents of both district graduates and

current district students, Ellen Kramer and David Schrader are worthy candidates for the two open Brecksville-Broadview Heights School Board seats. They are long-time residents of our community with professional careers who have been active and involved at the local level and are now willing to give back and serve our district in a more committed and meaningful capacity.

Your final exam is Tuesday, Nov. 7, so remember; the correct answers are Ellen Kramer and David Schrader for BBH School Board.

Mark Dosen, BBH Board Member Jenna Drive

Board candidate is running for all the right reasonsTo the Editor:

Please join me in voting for Fred Pedersen as a member of the board of education for the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District. I believe he is by far the most qualified candidate running.

Fred was a highly successful business owner who is both financially savvy and skilled in working collaboratively with others. Knowing Fred, I have no doubt that he has the ability to bring all facets of the school community together, and that he will work tirelessly to ensure the best possible learning environment for our students.

Fred is prepared and ready to serve, thanks to attending our school board meetings for over two years and cur-rently serving on our facilities study. He is well aware of our local issues, and he stays up to date on the state and federal regulations that impact our schools. He understands the big picture facing our

public schools.Perhaps most importantly, Fred is run-

ning for all of the right reasons. He has no hidden agenda or political motives. Fred is grateful for his own public school education and the education six of his siblings received in our district years ago. Running for our school board is simply his way to give back.

I hope you agree that Fred Pedersen will make a great addition to the BBH School Board. He has the skills necessary to do the job and the passion to serve. I know we can trust him to take care of our kids, our schools and our communities.

Public art postcard show receives stamp of approvalby Charles Cassady Jr.

Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night should deter visitors from making it to the Brecksville Center for the Arts October exhibit. The nonprofit’s inaugural public arts project is a display of postcards.

These are not ordinary postcards, but a rather special delivery. BCA distrib-uted hundreds of postcards to art centers throughout Northeast Ohio, asking that individuals express themselves by describ-ing feelings of joy or gratitude or detailing an important memory or dream.

They had the option of using writing, painting or employing another form of illus-tration for their creative impulses, as long as they mailed the postcards back to Brecksville.

“We sent some out of state and even to Australia,” said Stephanie Sibits, board president of the Brecksville Center for the Arts. “We were pleased to receive 200 postcards in response.”

Sibits said the institution took partial in-spiration from Artist Trading Cards, a Swiss-originated movement that invites people to create small, baseball-card-sized artworks

to exchange. There was also the Post Secret website (and book spin-off), which invites ordinary people to anonymously write or draw their secrets on a postcard and mail them into the organizers for public display.

“It’s fascinating to create something small, which is outside your ‘normal,’” said Sibits.

Of the postcards that were returned to BCA, she said, “Our favorite postcards were ones that had a personal message, old photos, just single words or feelings, different mediums and collages.”

From left: Brecksville Center for the Arts board member Gail Berzins of Brecks-ville, BCA President Stephanie Sibits of Broadview Heights and BCA board mem-ber Leslie McCafferty of Brecksville stand in front of the postcard display on opening night. Photos by J. Kananian

An opening reception was held in mid-September, and now the collection is on view through the end of October at the center. Fans of the mail art featured monthly in Wired Magazine should enjoy the diversity, including one that whimsi-cally reproduces the recent North Ameri-can eclipse. Others deliver affirmation slogans, inscrutable scribbles, abstracts, tributes to pets, photographs and more.

“We had four postcards that fit together to form one picture,” Sibits said. “It

amazes me how creative people can be.”She said BCA may mount a similar

public art project in 2018, “but the theme has not been determined yet.”

Meanwhile, in a seasonally flavored support of the mission of the Brecksville Center for the Arts, several BCA-based artists have used designs from their paint-ings as the basis for scarves being sold as a fundraiser at Framers Gallery, 7730

Chippewa Rd., in Brecksville. “These scarves are amazing fall designs

and made out of a sheer material which can be worn in many ways,” said Sibits. “You have to see them to appreciate them.”

The Brecksville Center for the Arts is located at 8997 Highland Rd. Hours for public visits and viewing are 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number is 440-526-6232. ∞


City will pick up leaves through Nov. 24.

Again this fall, the city of Brecksville will pick up leaves at curbside from Monday, Oct. 16 until Friday, Nov. 24. Crews be-gin on the north side of the city and work to the south, making as many rounds as possible. Signs will be posted about three days in advance to alert residents when workers will be in their neighborhoods.

Please observe the following guidelines:• Rake leaves into rows within three feet of the street pavement edge, not onto the street.• Try not to place leaves at the street edge until three to four days before scheduled pickup. Collecting leaves that have been compacted by rain slows the collection.• Leaves must not be placed in ditches, over loose/decorative stone or storm drains or near mailboxes and hydrants.• No tree branches, bricks, lawn clip-pings, or other debris should be mixed with leaves. Contaminated piles will not be collected.• Property owners are responsible for leaf disposal after the curbside campaign.• Don’t park on city streets that are sched-uled for leaf collection.

For more information, visit atmembers.core.com/~brecksvc/refuse/leaf.htm or call the Service Department Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m., at 440-526-1384. ∞

Snowplowing available for low-income seniors

The human services center offers drive-way snowplowing for low-income seniors age 70 and over who have no one to clear their driveway. Senior snowplowing is $10 for the entire season. Applications are available at the Human Services Center.

All residents must apply regardless of whether they have qualified in the past. The only proof of income document acceptable is an official letter from the Ohio Department of Development indicating household eligibility for the 2016-2017 or 2017-2018 Home Energy Assistance Program, commonly referred to as HEAP. Proof of age is also required. ∞

The Yuletide Hunger Program is underwayPoliceBeat

Information provided by the Brecksville Police Department

Sept. 4 – Police stopped a Twinsburg woman entering the wrong way on a one-way street on Stadium Drive and smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. A sandwich bag containing marijuana was found in the car, along with two grind-ers, a glass jar filled with burnt roaches, a pack of rolling papers, two glass pipes, a toilet paper roll stuffed with cotton, waxy rock substances and several lighters. The woman was charged with drug abuse and drug paraphernalia and cited for the one-way street violation.

Sept. 11 – A Brecksville woman was stopped for speeding on Route 21. She was cited for driving under the influence, driving under suspension and speeding.

Warrant drop offs from Sept. 1-11: Four – One to Cuyahoga Falls, one to North Olmsted, one to North Randall and one to Parma. ∞

The cities of Brecksville, Broadview Heights, Independence and Seven Hills are administering the Yuletide Hunger Program again.

Now in its 36th year, the program reaches out to those who are less fortu-nate. It began in 1983 following the death of Brecksville resident Rusty Mansbery, whose brother Dave created the Yuletide Hunger Program to thank the community for its support.

Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools are collecting food and monetary donations through Dec. 1. Nonperishable food items will be accepted at the human services centers in any of the four partici-pating cities.

Ready-to-eat items are at the top of the list, especially staples such as canned tuna, vegetables and fruit, spaghetti and sauce (either canned or packaged) and cereal. Pork and beans or baked beans are the only beans needed. Paper products, toothpaste and toiletries are also needed.

Last year more than 130 families were served. Families in need can call their city’s human services department. Volun-

teers are needed, including some strong backs. Call 440-526-2499. ∞

International aircraft, aerospace company opening Brecksville locationby John Benson

After decades of playing a key role in sending people into flight and satellites into space, Austrian-based designer and manufacturer Test-Fuchs is making his-tory of its own by opening its first North American location in Brecksville.

The designer and manufacturer of air-craft and aerospace components already has offices in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and Singapore. Now, it will be leasing a Brecksville Road building.

According to Brecksville Mayor Jerry Hruby, an out-of-town search group worked with economic development or-ganizations Team NEO and the Greater Cleveland Partnership.

“At the time, we did not know their identity,” Hruby said. “They first selected Northeast Ohio then the Cleveland area and finally Brecksville.

“It’s their specific building need that we could provide. This company is establish-ing itself in the USA. It has a customer base here, and it made sense to them to open a facility here. We are very pleased they selected our city with the attrac-

tion of it being immediate jobs with job growth and the possibility of a much longer-term relationship after the lease has expired.”

Hruby said this investment in Brecks-ville led the city to offer an incentive package. Test-Fuchs plans to open this year with seven employees and expand its operations to include nearly 30 workers by 2021.

Brecksville City Council recently ap-proved an incentive package deal to re-imburse Test-Fuchs half of the municipal withholding tax due to the city, beginning this year and running through 2020.

“The Test-Fuchs incentive package in-cludes just income tax share and waiver of building permit fees,” Hruby said. “They will lease an unoccupied build-ing that is specialized for manufacturing precision types of equipment. They are adding onto the building for office and research space, as well as bringing new jobs to the city.”

In recent years, Brecksville has peri-odically offered similar incentive pack-ages to attract new companies or keep existing businesses in the city. Hruby

said such deals are crucial to the com-munity’s growth and sustained financial well being.

“Economic development is an impor-tant aspect for the administration as we are challenged with growing our tax base,” Hruby said. “Therefore, we are – when given the opportunity – aggressive in our approach.”

That said, on average, the city gives about one incentive package per year, said Hruby.

“This year, we have been fortunate enough to have multiple companies,” he said. “We dedicate as much time to current city businesses as we do to at-tracting new companies. In this instance, Test-Fuchs provided us an opportunity to assist a company in establishing itself here with the opportunity for growth and an extended relationship. Many of the companies we offered incentives have grown dramatically and as a result, had significant impact on our tax base.” ∞

New service will offer full Italian menu for delivery and carryout by Michele Collins

Customers looking for a hearty Italian meal need look no further than their own front doors. Eddie’s Pizzeria Cerino of Seven Hills is opening a carryout/delivery restaurant, Ciao! Pizzeria Cerino, which will deliver food to the Brecksville and Broadview Heights areas.

Ciao! will be located at the site of the former Diane’s Pizza, 8947 Brecksville Rd., in Brecksville. According to Eddie Cerino, owner of the new restaurant, Eddie’s Pizzeria Cerino and Fast Eddie’s Kitchen and Bar in Parma, the delivery area will cover Brecksville and most of Broadview Heights. Food will be deliv-ered in Italian Fiats.

The new eatery will offer most of the Seven Hills restaurant’s menu, including chicken par-mesan, lemon chicken, rigatoni bolognese, baked ravioli, focaccia bread and pizza. Full catering will also be available, said Cerino.

In doing research about the Seven Hills restaurant’s carryout orders, Cerino said he discovered about two-thirds of the orders included Italian dishes other than pizza. He added that the restaurant industry is

M04, V55 CIAO! PIZZERIAEddie and Elisha Cerino show off one of Ciao! Pizzeria Cerino’s new signature delivery cars. Photo by J. Kananian

moving toward delivery of high-quality, homemade meals.

When he learned that the owner of Diane’s Pizza was retiring and that the space was available, he decided to open a location solely for delivery and carryout.

One stipulation Cerino has made is that his food will not be delivered by other meal delivery services.

“Our food is too good to trust anyone else to deliver it,” said Cerino. “We will deliver it ourselves in the special Ciao! delivery Fiats.”

He said customers could order indi-vidual entrees or large orders. Ciao! will also offer a four for $48 meal that includes entrees, salads, desserts and “our famous focaccia bread,” Cerino said.

Catering orders for parties and groups will be available with advance ordering, he said.

Ciao! is under renovation, as the entire kitchen is being remodeled. Cerino said the new restaurant should be open by mid-November. He recommended fol-lowing the Ciao Pizzeria Cerino Facebook page for updates on progress, the an-nouncement of a new website and online ordering capabilities. ∞440-526-2905

New Brecksville dental office ‘caters toward cowards’by Ashley Herzog

Dr. Bradley Hylan, DDS, came up with his dental practice’s slogan in 1979: “We cater toward cowards.”

Back then, Hylan had just bought out two dental practices in East Cleveland. Today, Hylan Dental operates in three cities: Cleveland, Aurora and now Brecks-ville. The Brecksville office opened in September.

When asked why he chose Brecksville as the location for his new office, Hylan replied, “Brecksville is a great city.”

Hylan Dental “caters toward cowards” by putting patients under anesthesia for their regular dental checkups, he explained.

“We have patients who haven’t been to a dentist in years because they’re afraid,” Hylan said. “I have patients who call and say, ‘I’ve been scared of the dentist my whole life. What can you do for me?’ At Hylan Dental, they can take a pill and sleep through the whole appointment.”

Hylan said this option puts fearful patients at ease, making it easier for them to come back a second time, without the drugs.

“We’ve found that for their second ap-pointment, many of these patients don’t need the anesthetic anymore,” Hylan said. “They’re far less anxious after a successful appointment.”

Hylan said the patients requesting anesthesia do not fit into any specific demographic.

“We do have a lot of parents who call and say their kids are kicking and screaming when they go to the dentist,” Hylan said. “But you’d be surprised. Sometimes, the biggest men are the biggest babies. The men who are 6-5 and 250 pounds make up a surprising number of patients we need to put under anesthesia.”

Hylan formulated the idea for his prac-tice back in the 1970s and early 1980s, when he had difficulty anesthetizing patients undergoing dental surgery. No matter how much anesthesia he was injecting, Hylan said, the patients still weren’t “going numb.” Hylan spent hours researching anesthetics at the Case Western Reserve University library and ultimately determined that dental anesthesia was los-ing its potency after being trucked in from other states.

“It says on the label, ‘Do not store at less than 50 degrees or more than 90 de-grees,’” Hylan said. “I found out that the

anesthesia being delivered in trucks had probably been degraded, and that’s what our problem was.”

The Brecksville office has seven employ-ees. Hylan bought the office from Dr. Ivan Jaffe, DDS. However, Hylan said Jaffe still works in the office and sees patients.

Hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Tuesday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Wednesday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m.-noon on Saturday.

St. Michael School receives award for excellence in STEM educationSt. Michael School, with campuses

in Independence and Brecksville, was selected as one of 58 schools in the state to be recognized by the Ohio Academy of Science’s Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in STEM Educa-tion and Student Research.

STEM education integrates the subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics for students in grades pre-K to 12. It incorporates scientific inquiry and technological design through project-based curricula to develop communication, teamwork, creativity, innovation, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Said Michael E. Woytek, the academy’s CEO, “It is our honor to recognize St. Michael School and your teachers, who have not only provided a strong STEM curriculum, but also have encouraged participation in many other activities to stimulate student interest in science, tech-nology, engineering and mathematics.”

Criteria for the award are to conduct a local science fair with 12 or more stu-dents, qualify two or more of these stu-

dents for one of the academy’s 17 district science days, have students participate in one or more youth science opportuni-ties beyond the classroom and convince STEM professionals how the school’s program met the academy’s definition of STEM education.

Forty professionals representing STEM employers from business, industry, government and academia evaluated ap-plications.

“St. Michael School places an important focus of our curriculum on STEM and also believes in the importance of religion and art as well as science, technology, engineer-ing and math,” said Margaret Campisi, principal of St. Michael School. “We like to call it ‘STREAM,’ and we are committed to continue our culture of innovation and excellence in all of these curriculum areas, so our students remain competitive in this ever-changing global society.”

The school will receive a Governor’s Award certificate, and each teacher will receive a complimentary membership to the Ohio Academy of Science. The school plans on celebrating the accomplishment throughout the year. ∞

Bees’ freshman quarterback finding success at varsity levelby John Benson

Earlier this year, on a hot summer night at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School stadium, freshman Joe Labas was learning the fine points of becoming a quarterback. Other students had been in class for only a few days, but Labas had spent the previous month working out with the varsity football team.

Apparently that hard work was worth the effort, because in the first half of his first game, the 14-year-old signal caller threw for two touchdowns. The moment was not lost on the quarterback, who while playing youth football dreamed of such a debut.

“Friday night football is exciting,” Labas said. “My teammates, the fans and the environment make it a lot of fun, but it’s also stressful and nerve-racking.”

As talented as Labas is as an athlete, it’s his humility off the field that defines his character.

“I would not have any success without my coaches and teammates,” Labas said. “They make me look good, and we bring it all together as a team. They are great to work with and have lots of patience, especially when the stadium gets loud.

“Also, I can’t forget about my past football coaches – Lou Cozza, Jim Car-roll, Andy Fisher and Keith Klodnick – and others who have taught me so much.”

Naturally, there’s a big difference be-tween eighth grade football and high school varsity football. Labas mentioned speed, strength and the experience of the players.

“I’m used to being one of the bigger guys, but not anymore,” he said.

Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School Head Football Coach Jason Sim-onetti said Labas is an outstanding student athlete who has accepted his role with poise and maturity.

“Joe’s confidence in the pocket as a passer has been terrific to watch,” Sim-onetti said. “Each week, he gets better and better. He’s very coachable and processes information very well for a young football player. He’s a true competitor.”

Through the first five games of the sea-son, Labas completed 69 percent of his passes, throwing for 12 touchdowns and

1,262 yards. One of his best performances came during the homecoming game Sept. 22 against Cuyahoga Falls, when he threw for 277 yards and three touchdowns, earning “Player of the Week” honors for the Bees.

In addition to playing football, Labas is a star on the basketball court and baseball diamond. In naming his first love, the teenager has leaned towards basketball, but he said he frequently changes his mind. It’s a great problem to have.

“It’s been very hard for me to commit to one sport,” Labas said. “For now, I will say football is my favorite, of course.”

Considering Labas is a freshman making the jump to varsity, his parents, Lori and Chris, had their concerns.

“It goes without saying how stressful it is,” Lori said. “It was a difficult decision for Joe to play varsity as a freshman, [but] the coaches and us talked about it and dis-cussed many important issues. We knew he wanted it, and we felt he was ready for the challenge.”

Added Chris, “Making a jump from eighth grade to high school is a giant leap. I’m pleasantly surprised and thrilled he has done this well.” ∞

Youth rugby league formed in Brecksville-Broadview Heights by Stacia Naoum

Students in Brecksville and Broadview Heights have a new sports option this year. The Brecksville-Broadview Heights Rugby Football Club, a boys rugby team, was formed this fall for high-schoolers.

The team is in the midst of its first season, preparing for tournaments in late October and early November.

“We have a surprising amount of in-terest for where we are in development, including players with a wide variety of backgrounds and interest,” said Coach Chris Watkins.

Watkins’ son, Bryn, 16, a junior at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School, was the catalyst for starting the rugby club team.

“My son played for the Parma Rugby Club, and there was interest from his friends in the area,” said Watkins.

Late last spring, they generated more interest and set up the club with the

state. Watkins received his coaching certificate this summer; he is USA Rugby

Level 200 certified. Bryn will serve as club captain.

“We developed the idea together and divided the various tasks between us in order to get where we are today,” said Watkins.

Watkins is no stranger to rugby. He played from age 8 through his 20s in his native Wales, where the popularity of the sport is the equivalent to football or basketball in the U.S., he said.

Watkins moved to the states nearly 20 years ago. His wife is from Northeast Ohio, and after living in Cincinnati and Wooster, the family, including Bryn’s twin sister, Aneira, and younger sister, Eleri, 9, moved to Brecksville two years ago.

The rugby club was officially formed in August, and Watkins held a mini-camp after Labor Day.

“It was basically an introduction, teach-ing the skills of rugby,” he said. “We had 16 players attend, and they enjoyed it.”

Overall, 28 players have attended the first few practices, with at least 16 at each session. Another parent, John Nauer of Brecksville, coaches alongside Watkins.

While the team is not affiliated with the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District, the school is encouraging the club and looking into whether it could administratively or financially support it

in the future, Watkins said.“It is strictly a club sport,” he said. Currently, the team is focusing on a

games-based approach to learn the ba-sics, and then players will focus on skill development to apply their new skills in a game, said Watkins.

“Rugby is a different concept, where you can only pass backward, not forward, but they are embracing the new concepts as challenges,” he said. “We are also heav-ily focused on the safety elements of the sport.”

The players won’t attempt poten-tially dangerous tackles until they have mastered the skills first, Watkins said. He even held a parent meeting at the outset emphasizing this safety-first perspective.

“Our goal is to get to a level where they can safely and competitively take the field against established teams in the area,” said Watkins.

The club is connected with Rugby Ohio, which has teams all over the state, including more than 20 in Northeast Ohio at private schools and communities throughout the area, such as Walsh Jesuit, St. Ignatius, Hudson and Mentor.

The club practices at the Fields in

Broadview Heights twice a week, with the fall season running from late September through mid-November. The team will play two games a week, with tournaments on the following Sundays: Oct. 22 and 29 and Nov. 5 and 12.

This fall, the team is playing a modi-fied version of rugby introduced at the Rio Olympics in 2016 in which there are two seven-minute halves with seven

players on each side. In the spring, they will move to the traditional version of two 30-minute halves with 15 players on each side, so they can compete on a state level, said Watkins.

The club is still accepting players. Watkins said the best way to learn more or contact the team is through social media: Instagram @bbhrfc or Twitter @BBHRFC17. ∞

Bees state wrestling champions travel overseas for

Cadet World Championships by John Benson

A few weeks after school started for Julian Tagg, the Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School sophomore and state wrestling champion traveled to Athens, Greece, where, representing Team USA, he finished seventh in the Cadet World Championships.

“It was a good experience,” said the Brecksville resident, 16. “I didn’t do as good as I wanted to. I won my first match against a wrestler from Belarus. Then, I wrestled a returning finalist, who took silver last year. He was from Azerbaijan. I lost to him in a close match.

“Next, I wrestled against a wrestler from Algeria. I beat him but lost to a wrestler from Kazakhstan. The Azerbaijan wrestler took second this year, and the Kazakhstan wrestler took third.”

Tagg qualified for the World Championships earlier this year at an Akron competition. As for the Athens event, he competed in the 50 kg weight class with 24 wrestlers in his bracket.

“Julian is an amazing athlete,” Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School Wrestling Coach Todd Haverdill said. “He’s mature beyond his years when it comes to wrestling. Ju-lian understands the importance of his training and values the opportunities to compete against the best in his sport.

“His success is not an accident. Julian puts an incredible amount of time into what he does, and the results of that have been becoming a two-time national champion, a high school state champion as a freshman and finishing seventh in the world at the recent World Championships in Athens, Greece.”

Tagg believes the experience he gained in Greece will help him during the high school wrestling season and beyond.

“It put some perspective where I’m at and just lets me know the things I need to work on to be the best in the world,” Tagg said. “I just have to continue to work hard and get better.” ∞

How to Pass Along Values and Traditions to Future Generations

By Lynn Hermensky, Hospice of the Western ReserveEach of us hopes our lives have an impact,

that we make a difference in the world. The truth is that we each make a difference every day by helping friends and families, giving to those in need and living the best lives we can, guided by our personal values and beliefs.

One of the most valuable gifts to bequeath to current and future generations is the gift of memories, stories, values, insights and spe-cial wisdom. One of the best ways to share these and pass them along is by creating an ethical will or legacy letter.

At Hospice of the Western Reserve, we work with individuals in our care every day to create legacy letters, but anyone can create them at any stage in their life. One of the most memorable and valuable gifts we can share with our families is the treasure of family traditions, memories, stories and values.

Some feel writing a legacy letter also provides an opportunity for self-reflection, a way to share private thoughts and personal values. Taking time to sift through photos, old letters and me-mentos can have a pleasantly therapeutic effect as pleasant memories are reignited.

Legacy work can take many forms and can be customized to reflect each individual’s preferred way of communicating. Drafting letters, recording a video, compiling music, family recipes or art, writing an autobiography, sewing an heirloom quilt, creating a scrapbook or memory box… any of these can be effective ways to communicate and pass along values to loved ones.

Creative inspiration can come from many sources: family history and traditions, personal philosophy, the impact of individual family members and friends, fondest memories, proudest achieve-ments, most enjoyable pastimes… these are just a few of the themes that can lead to the creation of a meaningful legacy piece.

The creation of ethical wills can also be a wonderful intergen-erational project. Younger family members frequently help with the creative process and execution while elder members have the opportunity to tell the family’s story and share the family’s rich heritage. Communicating matters of the heart and the lessons learned along life’s journey is often the most valued and precious gift one can give.

Lynn Hermensky provides free presentations to community organizations about how to create legacy letters as well as a host of other topics. For more information about presenta-tion topics or to schedule Lynn for your group, contact her at (216) 318-9742 or via email: [email protected].

Dealing with Unwanted Hairby Georgann A. Poulos, M.D.

Unwanted facial and body hair is a com-mon problem that affects both men and women. Fortunately, Laser Hair Removal is a safe and effective option for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair.

How does the laser remove hair? The la-ser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted is well absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. This results in a 20-30% reduction in the hair during each session.

Who is a candidate for laser hair re-moval? Laser hair removal works best on dark hair (medium-brown to black). The skin

should not be tan, and self-tanners should be avoided prior to and after hair removal sessions.

Laser hair removal can be done on people with different skin tones; however, a person with lighter skin would require a dif-ferent laser than someone with a darker skin tone.

Is laser hair removal painful? The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling or heat sensation. Patients generally tolerate the procedure very well. The treatment time can vary considerably depending on the size of the area treated. A small area such as the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while a larger area like the back or legs would take longer.

What should I expect after the hair removal session? After the laser session, mild redness and swelling around the hair fol-licle are common. It is important to avoid tanning the skin after the laser session. You can shave or trim unwanted hairs prior to the next session; however, the unwanted hairs should not be plucked out or waxed.

What are potential complications? Laser hair removal is a very safe type of laser surgery when performed by highly trained health care professionals. Complications, such as blistering or scabbing, can occur, but permanent scarring can be minimized under close supervision of a physician.

How many treatments are required? Since the laser affects only those hairs in the growing stage (not all hairs will be in this stage at the same time), multiple treatments will most likely be needed to effectively remove hair from one area. Subsequent sessions will be scheduled after 6 weeks. By this time you will probably begin to notice the re-growth of hairs that were pre-viously in the resting stage. Typically, one would need 5 to 6 sessions for best results.

Brecksville Dermatology utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology for unparalleled results in hair removal. Special Laser Hair Removal Packages are now available. Call our office at 440-792-4802 to schedule a Laser Hair Removal consultation with

Dr. Poulos. The office is located at 8751 Brecksville Road, Suite 50 in the Westfield Bank Building. Visit our website at www.BrecksvilleDermatology.com.

Make a move for more time with grandchildren

by Rhoda Procuk, Senior Real Estate Specialist, Stouffer Realty

If I knew grandkids were so much fun, I would have had them first!

Are you one of the lucky ones who has grandchildren within an hour drive? Or, are you like me, where it takes trains, planes, and automobiles for a four-day visit?

My heart breaks when Noah and Kaia Facetime and don’t understand why Grammy is not there to play after school.

Splitting time on the West Coast would be so much easier if my grass didn’t grow, if snow did not fall, and if my mortgage reflected the size of the space I truly use in my home.

I am a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designee. My specialty is assisting in making decisions regarding your home, thus affecting your future self, like making a move to the home, or condo, that affords you the opportunity to enjoy all that life offers.

I prefer to use the term “Right Sizing.” Right Sizing refers to balancing your financial comfort level with your physical capabilities.

Let’s meet and discuss the options available. I offer a free market evaluation of your current home. I also have a team of professionals to help with cleaning, de-cluttering and donating items that are no longer used. A professional evaluation of furniture or collectable items may provide an unexpected financial windfall! Our children don’t necessarily want the china from our 30-plus-year-old bridal registry or the T-ball trophies we have saved for them over the years! They are creating memories with their children’s awards and mementos.

Putting a plan in place puts you one step closer to that dance recital or soccer game.

By Eric Schaefer, My Personal Trainer Owner, Broadview Heights

Who needs physical fitness? Everyone! It is important for all people to stay active throughout their lives.

Because of busy work and home lives, more than 60 percent of Americans do not get the rec-ommended amount of physical fitness daily, and that number generally increases with age.

Adulthood is one of the most important times to maintain an exercise regimen. It is the ideal time to maintain your weight, build strong bones and pre-vent many chronic health problems, like high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

Many adults do too much exercise at once. After a long work week, many people try to fit lots of activ-ity into the weekend and push their bodies exces-sively. This sudden increase in activity can raise the risk of injury, and even cause weight gain in some instances, which could then lead to a stoppage of activity for weeks.

My Personal Trainer allows the convenience of scheduling your one-on-one session with a trainer by appointment, adding a level of commitment and giving you the accountability you need to stick to a regular fitness routine.

By committing only 20 minutes, twice a week, My Personal Trainer’s unique program of high intensity strength training, combined with nutritional counsel-ing, will give you results that can be seen virtually every session instead of in months or even years.

Whether you want to lose weight, build lean muscle, improve your health or just increase your energy levels, My Personal Trainer can help!

by Tom Olecki, Owner, Broadview Heating

Every year, we are faced with the inevi-table task of preparing for the coming winter weather season. Cool-er weather is showing its face, and we have begun calling on our heating systems to go back to work for us. The change of seasons requires us to prepare

our heating systems for the long, cold winter ahead, and although I write on this topic every fall, these checks need to be completed before you click the thermostat to heat.

If you think you are done using the air conditioner, it is a good idea to turn off its breaker or fuse. If you don’t, the small amount of heat generated in the air condi-tioner when it’s off makes a perfect home for mice in the winter. Should they nest in the A/C unit, they can do quite a bit of dam-age to the wiring or insulation. Also, now is a good time to install the cover on the A/C. Remember, do not wrap it in plastic. Use a quality custom cover that breathes or even just a piece of plywood on top to help keep out the snow and leaves.

Change the filter in the furnace if it is a throw-away style. If it is a washable style, simply hose it off or use a mild detergent if it has greasy dust.

If you have a humidifier, some styles have a damper in them that should be reset to the winter position. Humidifiers also require cleaning once a year and replacement of its pad or waterpanel. If it has a manual humidity control, turn it on and set it for 35 percent humidity.

Make sure the area around the furnace is uncongested and nothing is leaning against the furnace or restricting airflow to it.

If you have an electronic or program-mable thermostat, change its batteries and don’t forget the batteries in the smoke or CO detector.

once per year. This allows the furnace to run at peak efficiency and will ensure it is operating safely. It doesn’t matter when it is inspected, just have it done once a year.

Lastly, go ahead and turn the furnace on now to make sure it works before you really need it.

Prepare for the Cold Now

If your furnace has plastic exhaust pipes that exit through the side of the house, make sure they are clear of vegetation and that wasps have not built a nest in them over the summer.

It is highly recommended you have your system professionally serviced at least
