The 82nd annual Series of Spring Bird Walks brings flocks of birds and birders together

Northeast Ohio’s location along the southern shore of Lake Erie makes it a prime destination for migrating birds of all kinds. Every spring, hundreds of thousands of birds representing more than 100 species make their way northward from their winter homes farther south and stop here to rest and refuel before making the flight across the lake to reach their nesting grounds in the boreal forests and tundra of Canada. Keep an eye out for blackburnian warblers, scarlet tanagers, indigo buntings and rose-breasted grosbeaks, and this is just to name a few species.

Cleveland Metroparks, along with its partners, the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and other local park districts, collaborate each year to present the Series of Spring Bird Walks every Sunday from April 12 through May 17. These free, naturalist or volunteer led walks, meet at 7:30 a.m. at each of the various locations around Northeast Ohio in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Medina and Portage counties.

Cleveland Metroparks locations include Lake Isaac in Big Creek Reservation, Hemlock Creek Picnic

Area in Bedford Reservation, the Station Road Bridge Trailhead in Brecksville Reservation, Hinckley Lake in Hinckley Reservation, Lake Erie Nature & Science Center in Huntington Reservation, Sunset Pond in North Chagrin Reservation, CanalWay Visitor Center in Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation, Rocky River Nature Center in Rocky River Reservation and Jackson Road parking lot in South Chagrin Reservation.

Other Spring Bird Walk locations include Aurora, Gates Mills, Geauga Park District, Hiram, Holden Arboretum, Lake Erie Bluffs, Mentor Marsh and Shaker Lakes.

“This is one of the longest-running citizen science projects in the country,” said Cleveland Metroparks Director of Outdoor Experiences Wendy Weirich. “The Spring Bird Walks not only collect data about bird migration, but also give participants a unique way to experience spring -- if they go each week, they often start in a coat and end in shorts.”

Sonnenberg Station Performs for Locals in MarchSonnenberg Station, a 16-voice men’s

choral ensemble based in Kidron, Ohio, has performed in more than 30 different venues to appreciative audiences throughout Ohio, from churches and businesses to universities and concert halls. Their repertoire features beloved classical pieces as well as contemporary tunes and everything in between, including several arrangements written by the group’s director, Tim Shue.

Their performance on Saturday, March 28 at 7pm will benefit the Kidron Community Historical Society (KCHS) as Sonnenberg Station performs at the Old Sonnenberg Church in Sonnenberg Village, just on the outskirts of Kidron. The Sonnenberg Village is a five-acre campus that maintains

and preserve historical buildings and implements sustainable living methods using renewable energy, green building technology, and sustainable gardening and landscaping techniques.

University Hospitals Bedford Medical Now Offers Valet Parking for Patients and Visitors

UH Bedford Medical Center recently introduced complimentary valet parking for patients using hospital-based services. The service is available at the east end of the building near the outpatient surgery center entrance between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. This new service provides patients with both convenience and enhanced

safety. “Our decision to introduce valet

parking at the hospital was driven by our commitment to delivering patient-centered care in the safest environment possible,” says Robert David, President of UH Bedford Medical Center. “We are pleased to be able to offer this new service which will help ensure the safety of those

coming to us for care and make their visit to our hospital more convenient.”

Patients are already responding to this new convenience. Up to 25 cars are being parked each day and that number is growing as awareness of the new service spreads through the community. Hospital visitor, Betty L. wrote to say, “I was coming to the hospital to visit my daughter. The

snow and ice in the parking lot could be a problem for me because I use a cane and my balance is not that good. Much to my surprise, I saw a sign that read, Valet Parking – Free! You made my day! I am so appreciative.”

Valet service at the hospital is free and tipping is not required or expected.

Budish Strengthens County Position in Israel BondsCounty Executive Armond Budish

announced that Cuyahoga County will expand its holdings in Israel bonds from $5 million to $8 million this year.

“The return to the County on Israel bonds has been outstanding,” said Budish. “Expanding our holdings in Israel bonds is one of the best ways to strengthen Cuyahoga County’s financial

outlook for the long-term. I applaud our Fiscal Department for their work to invest an additional $3 million in Israel bonds to help ensure our fiscal solvency.”

Cuyahoga County first established a $5 million investment in Israel bonds in 2006. The Investment Advisory Committee approved the County’s purchase of additional $3 million of Israel

bonds bringing their holdings close to the maximum investment level.

Israel bonds were first issued in 1951, and have enabled the development of all areas of Israel’s economy. In 2014, Fitch Ratings gave Israel an A rating, although Israel bonds themselves are not rated.

Development Corporation for Israel, commonly known as Israel Bonds, is a

broker-dealer that underwrites securities issued by the State of Israel in the United States. In 2014, U.S. Israel bond investments have surpassed $1 billion. Proceeds from the sale of bonds have played a decisive role in Israel’s rapid evolution into a groundbreaking, globally emulated leader in high-tech, cleantech and biotech.

“But it doesn’t hurt, Doc” is a response I frequently get when I suggest dental treatment for a pa-tient. The logic behind the think-ing is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” or “if it’s not bothering me I’m not gonna bother it”. And although I understand the thinking, I have to tell you that it’s the wrong way to think!

1) Who likes pain? Just because it doesn’t hurt

doesn’t mean it’s not broke. As a dentist, I am trained to recognize developing problems before you can see or feel them. I can say with the certainty that comes with expe-rience that if we don’t do some-thing now, it WILL hurt soon.

I don’t know about you, but if I can do something to avoid certain pain down the road, I’ll do it.

2) Who likes to spend more when you can spend less?

If I recommend a filling for one of your teeth, it likely will cost between $100-$250, depending on the size. But if you wait until that tooth starts to hurt (which it always will if the filling is not done) then you’ll likely need root canal

therapy and a crown, a much more expensive proposition at $1500-$2000. Not to mention that the lat-ter procedures take much more of your time and tend to be more trau-matic. I don’t know about you, but I’ll jump on any chance to save that kind of money, time, and hassle.

The reason we recommend frequent checkups is so that we can catch developing problems early, when they are simple and inexpen-sive to fix. That’s the formula for having a healthy mouth for your

entire life.

Waiting until it hurts is a for-mula for trauma and overspending. Which one makes the most sense to you?

Yours in Dental Health,Dr. Mychael DavisDr. Jane Dodson

Ohioans Plan to Purchase New Wheels in 2015I don’t know about you, but the

first quarter of the year usually means tax returns, raises, and bonus checks. These extra funds often lead to large purchases, and for 23 percent of Ohioans that means buying a new or used car, according to the Ohio Credit Union League’s 2015 Consumer Survey.

With hundreds of makes and models to choose from, how do you narrow down the search? According

to the survey, 60 percent of Ohioans first look at monthly payment rates. This was closely followed by gas mileage (59 percent) and car history (56 percent).

Now that you’ve narrowed down what you’re looking for how does the purchasing begin?

• Do the research. Buyers can save themselves a lot of time and money by researching various automotive dealerships online before arriving

on the lot. Many dealerships list available cars and special deals on their website.

• Test drive. Just because a vehicle looks good on paper doesn’t mean it will fit your style and comfort preferences. This is a big purchase; drive it around to make sure it will suit your lifestyle for a long time.

• Consult a credit union. These not-for-profit, member-driven financial institutions return their earnings to

members in the form of lower interest rates, making them your best bet for an affordable vehicle loan.

To learn more about how a credit union can help you with your next big purchase, visit www.aSmarterChoice.org and find a credit union in your area.

Michael Lioudis, MD, a physician with the Cleveland Clinic Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute, specializes in nephrology and hypertension. He sees patients at Cleveland Clinic’s South Pointe Hospital Nephrology Clinic, Twinsburg Family Health and Surgery Center and at main campus.

Dr. Lioudis treats patients diagnosed with resistant hypertension – blood pressure that remains above normal despite regular use of blood pressure medications. He answers questions about this condition here.

Q. What is the difference between regular and resistant hypertension?

A. About one in three U.S. adults has hypertension, or

Regular hypertension is based on an average of two or more blood pressure readings with above-normal results. With resistant hypertension, blood pressure is above normal even

though the patient is taking three or more blood pressure medications, including a diuretic, at optimal doses.

Q. How are medications used to treat resistant hypertension?

A. It is a very individualized process that involves asking patients a lot of questions – what they do for a living, where they live, what factors are stressors in their lives. “The

the best result for that individual,” says Dr. Lioudis. “For example, if they don’t have ready access to a bathroom at work, a diuretic is not necessarily a good option.”

Q. Why is it important to treat hypertension?A. Hypertension is a leading cause of heart disease

and stroke. It can also increase your risk of developing irreversible kidney damage. There are many long-term

lifestyle changes and medication. Ignoring the problem is

Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish today released a Transition Working Groups Report representing hundreds of hours of volunteer work done by civic, business, and community leaders with suggestions and guiding themes to ensure Cuyahoga County government continues to meet the needs of constituents and moves our community forward.

“Our region is fortunate to have many talented, passionate leaders and experts in all sectors of our community willing to give of their time, energy, and expertise,” said Budish. “The Transition Policy Working Groups were the first stage of what I hope will be a continuous, inclusive, and meaningful process to facilitate an ongoing two-way conversation between the people of Cuyahoga County and their County

government. It is important to me that we continue to collaborate so that we may listen and learn from each other as we solve problems and tackle the region’s challenges.”

The Report outlines suggestions from each of the three Transition Working Groups: Effective and Efficient Government, Quality of Life, and Economic Growth and Opportunity. Across each Working Group, three global themes were universally agreed upon.

The first global theme, Engage, highlights the importance of the administration actively engaging the community, seeking input, valuing dialogue, and listening to a broad diversity of community members.

The second global theme, Prioritize, suggests that the role of the Executive is to prioritize initiatives and to determine when it is best

for the County to lead, partner, or support. The County’s charter jurisdiction is broad and it will be critical for the County to be an active community partner and identify its most appropriate role.

The final global theme, Lead, identifies that one of the top charges for Executive Budish will be for him to lead and be a convener on key issues for the community. It is recognized by stakeholders that Cuyahoga County cannot and should not be the funder of all initiatives, but it must use its leadership position to help organize efforts. The County will need to look for community partners, including those working in business, philanthropy, and social services, to build coalitions and partnerships, to have success.

“The Transition Policy Working Groups were an important step in

continuing to move Cuyahoga County forward,” said Beth Mooney, Chairman and CEO, KeyCorp. “As co-chair of the Economic Growth & Opportunity Working Group, I’ll add that our members know the public-private partnership is critical as we work to equip and support individuals in the right ways so they can be successful employed.”

U.S. Representative Marcia L. Fudge served as Chair of Chairs for the working groups, offering additional leadership and guidance to County Executive Budish.

“I was honored to serve as Chair of Chairs for County Executive Budish’s Transition Working Groups. These three reports will help lay the foundation for continuing the progress Cuyahoga County has made in recent years and I thank all the work group members for their service.”

Bedford High School Presents “Oklahoma!”Bedford High School students will

perform Oklahoma! on Friday and Saturday March 20th and 21st at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 22nd at 2 p.m. in the Bedford High School auditorium, 481 Northfield Road in Bedford. This romantic Western musical is the first musical written by the well-known team of Richard Rodgers, who composed the music, and Oscar Hammerstein II, who wrote the lyrics.

The main roles will be played by senior Darrien Benford as Curly, senior Tori Skrebunas as Laurey, senior Maliaq Dean as Will, and junior Khemi Salahuddin as Ado Annie. Senior Alexis Hall plays Aunt Eller, freshman Elijah Bell plays Jud Fry and senior Kameron Sanford plays Ali Hakim. The BHS production is directed by Sarah Johncock, with Gary Kaplan

as vocal director, Shawn Nichols as orchestra conductor, Kevin Marr as choreographer and Karin Tooley as accompanist.

Set in the Oklahoma Territory at the turn of the 20th century, it tells the story of cowboy Curly McLain and his romance with farm girl Laurey Williams. A secondary romance involves cowboy Will Parker and his flirtatious fiancée, Ado Annie. The two young cowboys vie with an evil ranch hand and a traveling peddler for the hearts of the women they love. The musical is based on Lynn Riggs’ 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs.

The original Broadway production opened on March 31, 1943. It was a box-office smash and ran for an unprecedented 2,212 performances, later enjoying award-winning revivals, national tours, foreign

productions and an Academy Award-winning 1955 film adaptation. Rodgers and Hammerstein won a special Pulitzer Prize for Oklahoma! in 1944. Well-known songs from the musical include Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’, The Surrey With The Fringe On Top, People Will Say We’re In Love, and Oklahoma.

Tickets are $8 general admission. Senior citizens are free. For more information, call 440-439-4588.
