The Bedford

Business Skills Contest Produces Four State Finalists from BHS

On St Patrick’s Day, March 17, members of the Bedford High School Business Management program competed in the Ohio Business Professionals of America State competition in workplace skills and leadership.

Our students did exceptionally well as Bedford had four state finalists emerge in

the following categories: Shiara McDougall in Economic Research; Rebekah Davison in Entrepreneurship; Payge Bass in Presentation Management, and Trey Cameron in Advanced Spreadsheet. Trey also qualified for the National Business Professionals of America competition held in Boston.

Business Management Instructor Glenn Yorkievitz stated, “That is quite an achievement for Trey. Only 150 of the 1,700 plus students that attend the competition earn that honor. It was really good to see all of his hard work in the classroom pay off.”

Also competing for the Bearcats were Ethan Holmes, Makenzie Freeman, Demario Bonner, Dionna May, Cameron Hunter, Jasmine Groce, Brittaney Hewston and Chanel Spencer.

Bedford Historical Society SpotlightFrom the President

Dear Members, Happy Spring! As you can see from

the Upcoming events, we are packed with things to do! Please consider supporting society by attending a few of these fun days. Our team is working hard to put together a new exhibit to remember World War 1 which we are sure will be educational and interesting for all. Stay tuned for an entire year of programming to go along with this great new exhibit.

As always, thank you for supporting the Historical Society through your volunteerism, donations and by attending our programming. We could not do the things we do without your support and encouragement. As we grow and change with the times, we hope that you will continue along with us! Don’t forget– your input is important!. We are always available

to hear criticism and compliments. Our goal is to be good stewards of our history as well as our community.

Sincerely,Bob Schroeter, Sr., President

Director’s Corner

Dear Members, Wow, does time fly! It’s hard to believe

that I have been with the Historical Society for three years already! It’s been an amazing ride and I’m excited to see where we’re going in 2016! As Bob said, we are packed with great things to do this Spring— including the Northeast Ohio Local History Fair!

2016 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Historic Preservation Act. As you may know, all our buildings as well as downtown Bedford are listed on the National Register

of Historic Places, meaning that they are good examples of different periods of history.

As always, we want to hear from you! Thank you to all those who completed the membership survey— we are working on compiling all of the data and learning what you, our members, like, don’t like and what you want to see.

Dana Best-Mizsak, Director

Footnotes from the LibraryBy Paul Pojman, Librarian

Just what is an almanac anyway? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it is (1) “a publication containing astronomical and meteorological data for a given year and often including a miscellany of other information” and (2) “a usually annual publication containing statistical, tabular, and general information.” The dictionary traces the word origin to Middle English, through earlier Latin and Arabic.

An almanac of sorts was known to the ancient Romans and, in expanded form, to literate classes of medieval Europe. Our “modern” publication began to emerge in the 1600s and flowered in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the scientific and factual replaced the astrological and mythological. Two of the more famous examples from this period are Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack (1732-1758) and Farmer’s Almanac (1818 to present). Today, the almanac is an ubiquitous reference work, appearing in both general and specific-subject formats. The general type

is perhaps best exemplified by World Almanac and Book of Facts. Subject-oriented works include those devoted to States, cities, sports and entertainment, sciences, and occupations. Some almanacs publish editions for youth. Recent years have seen many “almanac” sites on the Internet. Most people have at least some familiarity with almanacs and have mined them for facts at school and at home.

The Bedford Historical Society owns copies of the above examples, as well as others tucked away in recesses of the museum library. There are at least sixteen different almanacs from a dozen or more publishers. The collection also includes almanac “cousins” like statistical abstracts, historical yearbooks, and street directories.

Some older publications contain interesting advertising, some for products no longer sold. This leads to another way of using almanacs—comparing the presentation of information (and therefore the viewpoints of the times) as the years proceed.

Cuyahoga County and AirBNB Enter Into An Agreement To Collect Excise Tax on Lodging

Beginning April 1, 2016, Airbnb will begin collecting and remitting an excise tax on Airbnb guests staying in Cuyahoga County. The excise tax will be based on Cuyahoga County’s current lodging tax rates, the same tax paid by hotel guests. Cuyahoga County is the first government entity in Ohio to enter into an agreement with Airbnb.

“We are very pleased with the county and Airbnb agreement,” said County Executive Armond Budish. “Airbnb represents part of the new economy. It is very important for the county to stay abreast of new technology and new sources of

revenue so that we can continue to support our residents and municipalities.”

Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world.

From March 1, 2015, to March 1, 2016, more than 16,200 guests visited Cuyahoga County through Airbnb, representing a 193 percent increase from the prior year. There were 575 listings in Cuyahoga County. Overall hosts earned $2.3 million, with the typical host earning about $5,000 in supplemental income.

“Thanks to the leadership of

Cuyahoga County policymakers, today the county becomes the first in Ohio to embrace the economic benefits of home sharing and ensure that our community of hosts can pay their fair share,” said Michael O’Neil, Regional Public Policy Director, Airbnb. “With the Republican National Convention in Cleveland just around the corner, this agreement ensures the entire community can benefit from local people opening their homes to visitors from across the country.”

ABOUT AIRBNB Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted

community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone or tablet. Whether an apartment for a night, a castle for a week, or a villa for a month, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 34,000 cities and 190 countries. And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions.

As a new school year begins and summer slowly turns to fall, I think about how the world is constant-ly changing. For some people, change is feared and avoided, for others change is exciting and seen as presenting new opportunities. Whichever view you have, change is certainly inevitable.

Those of you who have been patients of Jane L. Dodson, DDS & Associates may have noticed changes in our office.

After meeting your dental needs at 88 Center road for the past 29

years, Dr. Dodson is making a change. She is transitioning into a new career about which she is very excited. We wish her well in her new adventure and know that she will be very successful. I am proud that she has chosen me, Dr. Mychael Davis, to carry on the tra-dition that she has established over these many years. High quality dental care in a caring atmosphere will continue to be the focus of our practice. I have practiced in this area for 29 years, and am honored that you have accepted me as your new dentist.

We’ve had some other staff chang-es as well, all with the never end-

ing goal of improving our service to you. And we’ve made a slight change in the name, to Bedford Dental Associates, to emphasize our commitment to our community and to you.

Thanks for your continuing con-fidence in us and for letting us be a part of your health care team.

Yours in Health,Mychael E. Davis, D.D.S.Dr. Mychael Davis

Republican National Convention, Credit Unions, Realclearpolitics: Kick-Off Project At Uh Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital

Credit unions, the Republican National Convention (RNC) and RealClearPolitics today hosted a construction kickoff of a year-round horticultural therapy suite located in Angie’s Garden at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital (UH Rainbow).

RNC CEO Jeff Larson was joined at the kickoff celebration by Ohio Credit Union League (OCUL) President Paul Mercer, President/CEO of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Jim Nussle and President of UH Rainbow Patti DePompei.

In the months leading up to the 2016 Republican National Convention in July, credit unions and RealClearPolitics will work with the RNC to add therapeutic space and programs in a horticultural therapy suite. The suite complements Angie’s Garden, a feature of the Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Institute open to all UH Rainbow patients, andwill further foster a restorative patient environment, enabling patients to engage in plant-based activities facilitated by a trained horticulturalist at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.

“The Republican party is proud to be a part of this project to have a lasting impact on patients, families and the community at large at the UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.” said Jeff Larson, RNC CEO. “It is our desire to help give back to the city of Cleveland, which is doing so much to help make this Convention a success, especially when we have an opportunity like this to impact the lives of our nation’s children.”

CUNA and RealClearPolitics

are honoring the 2016 Republican nominating convention by taking on the project. This year’s effort represents credit unions’ tradition of honoring each national political convention city with a “leave-behind” project that will serve the local communities long after the conventions have left town.

“National convention leave behind projects are part of what makes the credit union difference so special and unique,” said Jim Nussle, President and CEO of CUNA. “Credit unions live by the philosophy of people helping people. That’s why we’ve dedicated our time and energy into leaving a long-lasting impact on communities like Cleveland that have hosted conventions since 2000.”

Ohio’s 308 credit unions, which serve nearly three million Ohioans, are the lead contributors to the project, which is expected to cost $325,000.

“Ohio credit unions are proud to be affiliated with this project which, upon completion, will change patient lives for the better, similar to what credit unions do for their members daily,” said Paul Mercer, OCUL President.

“Therapy options such as art and music have remarkable healing effects for our children.?Our Angie Fowler garden enables patients and families the opportunity to leave the indoor hospital environment, breathe fresh air,?and experience healing effects of gardening and planting activities,” said Patti DePompei, President of UH Rainbow. “Part of our mission is to heal and that involves caring for the emotional and physical well-being of each child. This unique indoor horticultural

therapy space allows us to do add a wonderful new feature for our patients and their families. We are grateful the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and Ohio Credit Union League shared in our vision to expand our horticultural therapy services.”

“As the official media partner, we at RealClearPolitics couldn’t be more proud to help support this project and to bring national attention to the overall good work of UH Rainbow Babies, CUNA, and partnership on this leave behind project during the RNC,” said RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan.

Construction will unfold over the spring and summer, and will include volunteer opportunities for credit union employees, and convention staff to lend a helping hand.?Plans call for a ribbon-cutting event to take place during the week of the convention, which will be held July 18-21.?A companion project is being undertaken by credit unions at Karabots Pediatric Care Center, part of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, site of the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

This nationally recognized celebration was introduced by the ASPCA in 2006, to effect positive change in humane animal treatment nationwide. Valley Save-a-Pet asks everyone to support this initiative.

You or a friend or neighbor may witness animal abuse someday, so be aware. If you see

something, say something. Know the phone number for your city’s animal control officer, and be able to provide as much information as possible. Keep current with your state’s anti-cruelty laws. Set a good example in the way you care for your own pets. If you have children, educate them. Raise awareness in

others, both in person or online.During the month of April, use your

Facebook page, Twitter or blog to spread the word, and tag the ASPCA in your posts. Valley Save-a-Pet wants to hear about your efforts, and you can mail your ideas and successes to the Purr-fect Place, our resale shop at 715

Broadway in downtown historic Bedford, or email them to vsapcats4u@yahoo.com. As always, thank you for helping the animals! Valley Save-a-Pet longs for a future where people care about prevention of cruelty to animals every day of the year.

Valley Save-a-Pet Have a Heart Spring Spay Special! From April 1 through May 31, in addition to our always discounted prices for all dogs and cats, female cats will be spayed for $40.00, an even greater discount. As animal lovers, we know how hard it is to resist being smitten by a kitten. Throughout early Spring, however, we need to work together to minimize unending kit ‘n’ caboodles of them. By successfully curtailing new litters of critters -- no matter how adorable they are -- we can focus on finding forever homes for those who are already here. We encourage you to call the Valley Save-a-Pet Have a Heart Helpline at (440) 232-2287 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm to obtain an authorization form which will enable you to schedule your pet’s surgery with a participating veterinarian. Note: If you are a feral cat caretaker, please call on Mondays only. As always, thank you for helping the animals!

There are two main kinds of summer camps: overnight camps and day camps. So what is the difference between overnight camp and day camp and how can parents choose which the best camp suitable for their kids is? Let us understand the difference between the two camps.

As the name suggest, overnight camps are camps where the child has to stay in the camp for the entire duration, which could range from one to four weeks. But in a day camp the child has to attend the camp in the morning and leaves for his home in the evening.

Overnight camps are for kids who want to spend time away from home with their friends and want to learn to become responsible and independent citizens. Day camps are for kids who would love to participate in many activities but prefer to

come home at night. The budget part also helps to decide

which summer camp to choose from. Summer overnight camps are costlier than day camps, as they involve costs of lodging and boarding also.

Normally for first timers, day camps are more suitable than overnight camps. So day camps are always the first option. Once they get used to spending a complete day away from home, parents can send them to overnight camps too.

Although there is a difference between overnight camp and day camp, most of the activities followed here are very similar. As a result whatever summer camp you may choose, it will always act as a catalyst in your child’s physical and mental growth.
