y Dick Jansik 

Broadview Heights resident John 

Shoemaker parked his car at Wellpointe 

Pavilion near the bus stop shelter on 

Broadview Road. It was 7:15 a.m., chilly 

and still dark out. 

Asked why he was using a bus instead of 

driving his car, he said, “I work downtown 

where the parking is expensive, and the 

cost of gasoline is going higher and higher. 

In addition, it saves wear and tear on my 

car, and I eliminate the stress of stop-andgo 

rush hour traffic. On the bus I can sit 

back, relax and read the paper. Besides, 

winter is just around the corner, and that 

just makes driving all the more stressful.”

Historical Society Hosts 1950s Sock Hop 

by Joyce A. Banjac 

For those who lived through and remember 

the 1950s, and for those who 

want to experience this fun-loving era, 

the decade will come alive again, but for 

one night only. On Friday, Nov. 2, the 

Broadview Heights Historical Society will 

host its first annual dance, “A November 

to Remember … The ’50s Sock Hop,” 

featuring the GeezeCats. 

“The ’50s were fun, with the kind of 

music that makes you want to tap your 

toes,” Candy Korn, society vice president 

said. Bebopping, tapping and dancing 

aside, the Sock Hop has something for 

everyone from music-lovers to memorabilia 

collectors. And a trip down memory 

lane would not be complete without 

reminiscing about Euclid Beach Park. 

Park memorabilia will be on display, and 

Euclid Beach merchandise will be available 

for sale. For history buffs, the dance’s 

site, Country Lakes Party Center, will be 

decorated with adornments from that 

bygone era – including popular devices 

of the day, such as microphones, radios 

and rotary phones.

Despite the sock hop being the first 

annual dance for the historical society, 

the group is no stranger to fundraising – 

it ran a Saturday morning antiques and 

collectible show at city hall for years until 

parking space became a premium. 

At its inaugural dance, the society aims 

for 200 sock-wearers to attend. As in previous 

years, proceeds benefit the society’s 

scholarship fund, which provides a $500 

student scholarship, ideally for the study 

of history, each to one student from the 

North Royalton School District and one 

from the Brecksville-Broadview Heights 

district. 

“We are dipping our toes in the water, 

this first time, but we hope to return each 

year with different eras, like the ’30s and 

the ’40s,” Korn said. 

The event will be held at the Country 

Lakes Party Center, 8626 Broadview Rd., 

Broadview Heights. Doors open at 7:30 

p.m. Ticket are $20 in advance and $25 

at the door. For reservations and tickets, 

contact Korn at 440-426-8500. Visit the 

society at broadviewheightshistoricalsociety.org.

to one place for Cleveland. Now 

Smith is working his way toward his 

dream of having a show in Vegas and start- 

Broadview

ing to work his way toward that dream 

right here in Cleveland. 

Smith always had a love for magic, 

keeping it as a hobby as he grew up. But 

once he realized his talent could take him 

somewhere, he became a full-time magician 

and illusionist. 

“Ten years ago when I broke the world 

record, I went from kids’ parties to big 

corporate events and international TV,” 

Smith said. After breaking the work record 

for distance throwing a playing card, 

his act reached bigger audiences, but he 

still travels to schools all over Cleveland to 

perform for children in local schools. His 

talents have stretched over the country 

and the world, landing him spots on Late 

Night with Jay Leno, The Ellen Show, and 

most recently the Shark Tank. 

“Being a magician, I’ve been on a lot of 

great TV shows, from Jay Leno to America’s 

Got Talent, and going to Milan for the 

Guinness World Record was a great experience,” 

he said. “There’s so much more that 

goes into these shows than people see.” 

Smith’s most recent TV appearance was 

on Shark Tank, debuting June 1, where 

Smith asked the sharks to fund a Las Vegas 

act. Mark Cuban held one of the veggies 

Smith cut in half with a flying playing 

card, and he impressed the judges with 

illusions. 

Smith brought other members of what 

would be a large show with him, and even 

though the sharks did not make an offer 

to him, he walked away with positive 

feedback and tips on fulfilling his dream. 

“I was one of the ones that the sharks 

really liked, but didn’t give the money,”

said Smith. The way Shark Tank is set 

up, Smith couldn’t come back with a 

counter offer and adjusted sales pitch, but 

the sharks told them that a different and 

smaller-scaled pitch would have swayed 

them. The segment was seven minutes 

long on TV, but in reality it lasted over 

an hour in the room. 

“I agreed with a lot of what they said. It 

was a lot of money, but a show in Las Vegas 

could be very successful,” said Smith. 

“A lot of the big names have left, there’s 

not any family variety shows.” 

Smith is already putting a show together 

like the one the Sharks suggested, focusing 

on one city at a time, beginning with 

Cleveland. “If we are successful in Cleveland, 

we can be successful everywhere,” 

Smith said. 

Smith’s local company is also booming as 

a source for family entertainment through 

which parents can get affordable entertainment. 

The company, based in Broadview 

Heights, can provide entertainment for 

events like backyard BBQs but reaches all

Indians and Fortune 500 companies.

entertainers. The company provides 

people that can wow small crowds with 

up close illusions, card tricks, changing 

one dollar bills to hundreds. 

Marchak takes the lead with Cleveland 

entertainers, “Tiffany 

is a singer,” said Smith. 

“But she’s the heart 

and soul of Cleveland 

Entertainers.” 

Smith became a resident 

of Broadview 

Heights five years 

ago when he married 

his wife, a Broadview 

Heights and a contestant 

on season two of 

American Idol. 

Smith’s appearance 

on the Shark Tank 

kicked off a busy 

summer for him. He 

left June 24 for London, 

where he will 

participate in a Simon 

Cowell production 

on British TV, but he 

will be back June 30 

performing the Harry Houdini escape at 

the Mayfield Village pool. He will also 

be attempting a new Guinness record for 

the number of playing cards thrown in 

one minute and slicing the most veggies 

with a playing card in half in a minute. ∞

Voters Will Weigh In On Drilling Ban, Fire Levy 

by Sue Walton 

Broadview Heights residents will decide 

three local issues on the ballot this month, 

including whether the city should ban the 

drilling of new oil and gas wells. 

The proposed ban, included in a Community 

Bill of Rights, appears on the ballot 

because of the efforts of the grass-roots 

group Mothers Against Drilling in Our 

Neighborhoods (MADION). 

Joining that measure is a proposed charter 

amendment that seeks to raise funding 

for the fire department to 4.2 mills from 

the current 3.2 mills. In the third issue, 

voters will decide whether the Ramble Inn 

can sell beer, wine and liquor on Sundays. 

Issue 29: Community Bill of Rights 

Broadview Heights City Council voted 

unanimously in September to place the 

proposed charter amendment on the ballot 

after MADION collected signatures 

in support of the anti-drilling measure. 

The proposed amendment, called the 

Community Bill of Rights, says that 

residents have the right to pure water, 

clean air, peaceful enjoyment of home, 

the existence of natural communities, 

sustainable energy and self-government 

while banning commercial oil and gas 

extraction. 

ElEction issuEs 

l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l 

There are more than 80 wells in the 

city, but the measure would cover only 

future drilling. 

Broadview Heights Mayor Sam Alai 

and Law Director Vince Ruffa said even 

if voters pass the amendment, it is likely 

unenforceable and could open up the city 

to lawsuits. 

A 2004 state law gives the Ohio Department 

of Natural Resources the authority 

to make all decisions about oil and gas 

drilling in the state. Those decisions have 

been stripped from local governments, 

Alai said. 

“If this is going to try to be enforced, 

those entities working lawfully under 

Ohio gas and oil laws, they’ll come back 

and sue the city (if it denies them the 

right to drill),” Alai said. The mayor fears 

having to spend hundreds of thousands 

of dollars on a lawsuit the city cannot 

defend, he said. 

Tish O’Dell, co-founder of MADION 

and a proponent of the anti-drilling 

measure, does not see things that way. “If 

protecting the health, safety and welfare 

of residents of Broadview Heights means 

defending them in court, that is the duty 

and obligation of the city’s public servants,” 

she wrote in an e-mail. “Putting a

price tag on the well-being of members of 

the community is not the job of the mayor 

or any other elected official.” 

But because state drilling laws supersede 

local measures, Ruffa said, the proposed 

charter amendment would be unenforceable. 

“The idea is to follow the law, and the 

law says we can’t regulate (drilling),” he 

said. “And if we can’t regulate it, my advice 

to the mayor and council would be that 

we can’t enforce (the ban).” 

O’Dell wrote that she thinks it is appalling 

that public servants would even suggest 

not enforcing a law enacted through 

the initiative process. “We don’t just need 

our city officials to represent their own 

opinions about our laws, they have the 

duty to honor the city charter … and are 

obligated to obey the direct instructions 

of their constituents,” she wrote. 

Alai said has met with several state officials 

and legal advisors over the years 

about Ohio’s drilling laws. He has also 

sought several outside legal opinions 

about the proposed amendment, and 

they also deem it unenforceable, he said. 

“I’ve been fighting this fight since 

2004,” he said. “We just keep banging 

our heads against the wall and the only 

thing to come out of it is a concussion.” 

Asked why she has not taken her fight 

to the state level, where drilling laws 

are regulated, O’Dell wrote that Ohio’s 

legislature has been “captured by big 

dollars and big corporations” and people 

are being denied representation. So, 

residents must take the “reigns (sic) of 

self-governance in the communities where 

we live,” she wrote. 

As the city’s safety director, Alai said, 

he has to worry about many things that 

affect the well-being of the residents. “The 

likelihood with something going wrong 

with a gas well is remote at best by looking 

at history,” he said. “The likelihood of 

seven or eight ambulance runs every day 

is a sure thing.” 

Alai stopped short at asking voters to 

oppose the measure, though, saying he 

does not feel it is his place to sway them 

one way or the other. “I want the voters 

to do their due diligence” and decide what 

they think is best, he said. 


On Oct.1, the village council in Yellow 

Springs, northeast of Dayton, voted to 

adopt a Community Bill of Rights prohibiting 

corporations from conducting 

shale gas drilling and related activities in 

the community. It is the first municipality 

in the state to adopt the bill of rights. 

Issue 28: Fire Levy 

Alai and Broadview Heights Fire Chief 

Jeff Hajek said that if this funding increase 

does not pass, the city will have to make 

cuts within the fire department. 

“The possibility of closing one of the 

fire department’s stations is very real,” 

Alai said. 

The proposed charter amendment looks 

to raise the 3.02-mill limit that funds fulltime 

fire and emergency medical services 

to a rate not to exceed 4.2 mills for each 

one dollar of valuation on all property. 

The language on the ballot is the same 

as it was last year, when some thought the 

wording was confusing and the measure 

failed by about 100 votes. This year, the 

city is trying to explain the issue to residents, 

Alai said. In simple terms, should 

the amendment pass, city council will 

decide how much of the additional mill to 

add to the existing 3.2 mills, said Finance 

Director Molly Regan. 

If voters approve the measure and council 

decides to add the full mill, it would 

generate about an additional $622,000 

per year for the city’s fire services, she said. 

The increase in property taxes would 

be about $31 a year on a house worth 

$100,000, according to the fire department. 

The extra revenue would be used to bolster 

staffing within the fire department, 

Hajek said. The chief wants to ensure 

each of the city’s two fire stations is staffed 

with three emergency-medical technicians/firefighters 

at all times so that each 

ambulance call has a three-person crew. 

“If we don’t have the funding for manpower, 

we have to look at making other 

cuts,” he said, adding that could include 

the closing of one fire station and moving 

the staff at the remaining site. 

“We’d be looking at Station One on 

Wallings Road (to close). If we have to 

look at cost, instead of paying for the 

cost of maintenance and the electric and 

the gas for two stations, the better answer 

would be to have one station with more 



men than to have two stations with less 

men.” 

The department’s payroll currently 

includes 16 part-time and 13 full-time 

employees. If the measure does not pass, 

there will not be layoffs, Hajek said, adding 

that the department is already understaffed, 

so new the funding is needed to 

bolster the work force. 

Broadview Heights has a mutual-aid 

agreement with seven surrounding communities, 

but so many cities are experiencing 

staffing shortages, it is affecting the 

departments. When Broadview puts out a 

call for aid to a neighboring community 

and that squad cannot help, then the city 

must work down the line until it can find 

a department with available staffing. That 

adds to response time, Hajek said, because 

his department has to take the extra time 

to make the calls and the responding 

squad is usually farther away. 

In addition to staffing, the city needs 

new fire equipment, Alai and Hajek said. 

The department needs two new engines, 

so if the measure passes, money would 

“We make things easier 

during trying times.” 

start to be set aside for vehicles, according 

to Alai, who added a new engine costs 

about $450,000 and a new ladder truck 

runs well over $1 million. 

The department works hard to keep its 

equipment running smoothly, but some 

vehicles are past their expected longevity, 

Alai said. “In the end, you can have all 

the equipment in the world, but you need 

staff,” he said. “And you can have all the 

staff in the world, but you need equipment, 

too. They go together.” 

Issue 30 (Precinct 1A only): 

Liquor Sales 

This issue asks residents to decide 

whether the Ramble Inn, 8151 Broadview 

Rd., should be allowed to sell beer, wine 

and liquor on Sundays. 

The bar, which was condemned in 

2008 but later saved in a decision by the 

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, 

has undergone extensive renovations in 

recent years. Had the bar been demolished, 

the lot would have been unbuildable 

because of its location, Alai said, “so, 

actually, it all worked out for the best.” ∞

Schools’ Future Committee. The group, 

an independent committee made up of 

more than 100 Broadview Heights and 

North Royalton residents, met for more 

than a year to examine the district’s aging 

facilities. Most of its schools were built in 

the 1950s and ’60s. 

The district has explored and discussed 

several options to address the facilities for 

more than 10 years, and the Shape Our

Schools’ Future Committee utilized significant 

work provided by earlier groups, 

wrote Dr. John Kelly, president of the 

North Royalton Board of Education, in 

an email. 

“Without passage of the bond issue, the 

district cannot fund the repairs needed,” 

Kelly wrote. “If there were an alternative 

to the bond issue, the district would have 

taken that route. This issue is critical to 

maintaining our facilities, and, unfortunately, 

there will be no assistance coming 

from the state.” 

The committee’s plan calls for a $22.3 

million expansion and renovation to 

North Royalton High School, including 

new science, computer, band, music and 

community rooms; and additional classroom 

and storage space. 

Plans also include a new roof at the 

middle school; new pre-kindergarten 

and kindergarten classrooms, at either 

elementary schools or the Early Childhood 

Center; space for a community-use 

gym at Valley Vista Elementary and gym/ 

cafeteria space at Royal View and Albion 

elementary schools; a new bus garage; 

and a new exterior locker room. Renovations 

also would upgrade the schools’ 

roofs, windows and heating and electrical 

systems. 

If Issue 112 passes, residents would see 

an annual cost of $80.60 per $100,000 of 

home valuation, according to the district. 

Given the scope of the committee’s 

plans, if voters shoot down the issue, the 

district would poll residents to see how it 

failed to communicate the need for the 

renovations and repairs, Kelly wrote. The 

public has been receptive to the plan thus 

far, he added. 

“A great deal of time and thought has 

been put into this … plan by members 

of the North Royalton and Broadview 

Heights community with the understanding 

that there is never a good time to ask 

the community for additional funds,” he 

wrote. “However, we must take immediate 

steps to preserve the integrity of the 

physical assets of the North Royalton City 

Schools. This is a community-driven plan, 

and the time to act is now.” ∞

From the desk of 

Mayor Sam Alai 

As the leaves change and fall is certainly 

upon us, they bring thoughts of Halloween 

and Election Day. Many thanks to all 

of the people who attended our annual 

Halloween on the Heights. Every year, 

this fall celebration gets bigger and better. 

The recreation department and all of its 

dedicated employees, including department 

head Paula Horner; the Chamber 

of Commerce; and the BVH Community 

Foundation are to be congratulated for 

organizing and conducting a fun-filled 

day for people of all ages. 

Trick-or-treating this year in Broadview 

Heights is from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, 

Oct. 31. Please be vigilant when driving 

during those hours. Our excited children 

may not always look before crossing the 

street, so I ask you to drive slowly and 

be aware of the trick-or-treaters walking 

door to door. 

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 6. In 

addition to the important choices we 

will make about our president and other 

elected officials, there are two important 

issues on the ballot in Broadview Heights. 

Both were discussed in detail last month, 

so I will simply ask you to support the fire 

levy so that our firefighters and citizens 

will benefit from updated quality equipment 

and continued top-notch service. 

The other issue on the ballot is Issue 

29, which bans gas and oil drilling in our 

city. Based on multiple legal opinions that 

unanimously found that the proposed law 

is unenforceable and invites costly lawsuits, 

I ask you to carefully consider the 

impact of your vote. Although I strongly 

support local control, the current laws 

place all the control clearly in the hands of 

the state of Ohio. Other council members 

and I have been to Columbus multiple 

times to advocate for local control so 

that we can determine for ourselves how

have gone unanswered. I encourage all of 

those interested in gaining local control to 

write, call and visit your state representatives 

to advocate for cities (like Broadview 

Heights) who want to enact their own 

laws to address drilling. That is the level of 

government where we can effect change. 

Laws at the local level, if enforced, violate 

current state law and invite costly lawsuits 

that will be financed with taxpayer dollars.

Director Amy Washabaugh for receiving

passenger bus. It should arrive sometime 

in the next six to eight months. Amy’s 

department offers free medical transportation 

to anyone over the age of 60 who 

does not drive or have a car, or who is 

undergoing a procedure that does not allow 

him or her to drive. Also, the human 

services department provides access to a

Council Approves Contract With URS for Interchange Design Work 

Oct. 1 city council meeting and work session 

Broadview Heights residents will see 

more road construction as I-77 and Route 

82 will undergo improvements. City 

Council approved an ordinance allowing 

Mayor Sam Alai to contract with URS 

Corp. for design services for the project. 

The design fees will cost the city between 

$215,000 and $279,000, said 

Councilman Glenn Goodwin in a phone 

interview. The total cost of the construction 

project, which will reconfigure the 

exit ramps at the I-77 and Route 82 interchange, 

will be between $2.4 million 

and $2.8 million, he said. 

The city has already received a $1.15 

million grant for the project from the 

Ohio Department of Transportation 

(ODOT) and will seek out more grants, 

according to Goodwin and Council President 

Pro Tem Roy Stewart. 

The contract with URS did not go 

through a bidding process because state

law doesn’t permit it, Goodwin said. The 

state allows for an interview process for 

professional design services, where city 

officials evaluate firms and their abilities to 

perform. From there, the city selects a firm 

and then negotiates a price for the services. 

Council passed the ordinance in a 5-2 

vote, with Goodwin and Councilwoman 

Jennifer Mahnic dissenting. 

“I think it’s really ODOT’s responsibility 

to take into account 100 percent of the 

cost, rather than the city to be shouldered 

with these costs,” Goodwin said, who 

added he’d rather see the city spend money 

on residential streets rather than in ODOT 

projects. “We have not spent as much on 

residential streets as in years prior,” he said. 

The project, which is in its initial phase, 

will improve traffic flow and, hopefully, 

eliminate weaving traffic on Route 82. 

Traffic signals along Route 82 will be 

interconnected, allowing traffic to move 

with greater ease off the freeway.

Construction is also ongoing in several 

parts of Broadview Heights, including 

completion of work on the Woodmere/ 

Avery retention Basin and the Richard 

Road improvements. 

The council has also voted to specify 

separate funds for certain future sewer 

projects, including Valley Parkway, 

Sprague Road and Wallings Road. All 

of these areas have had work done in 

previous years. ∞ 

Leaf Collection to Begin 

Leaf collection begins the week of Oct. 

22. As in the past two years, several crews 

will work six days per week. All areas will 

be picked up at least twice. Crews will do 

a final sweep of the city the first week of 

December (weather permitting). To supplement 

curbside pickup, residents may 

put leaves in brown, biodegradable yard 

bags and put them out with the trash. ∞

House Bill 327 Provides Tax Credits 

for Businesses With Home-Based Workers 

offered, after which time the policy will 

be reviewed and, depending on its rate 

of success, be continued or terminated. 

The director of development will issue a 

report at the end of the six-year term – in 

2018 – on the effects of the home-based 

employee tax credits. 

The report will include information such 

as the number of tax-credit agreements and 

the total number of employees covered by 

Now Hiring 

Experienced 

Tree Climbers 

the agreements, as well as a description of 

the projects. Those details will help legislators 

in the future to see the areas and fields 

where the tax credit has been most utilized. 

To have a frame of reference against which 

to compare, the director’s report will 

evaluate nationwide home-based employment 

trends, including the total number 

of home-based jobs created from July 1, 

2011, through June 30, 2017. 

The Ohio Tax Credit Authority, or 

TCA, may authorize tax credits against 

specified taxes for creating jobs, such as 

the insurance company premium tax, the 

franchise tax on financial institutions and 

the commercial activity tax. 

A “home-based employee” does not 

have work exclusively from home, but the 

majority of his or her work – or primary 

obligations – should be conducted outside 

of the traditional place of business. 

Another stipulation provides that the 

employees working from home must 

earn at least 131 percent of the federal 

minimum wage. Additionally, the bill 

requires employers who hire both homebased 

and site-based workers to obtain 

separate tax-credit agreements for each 

class of employees. 

House Bill 327 originated in the House 

Economic and Small Business Development 

Committee in March of this year, 

where it eventually passed and moved on 

for further debate on the House floor. 

There, it received overwhelming bipartisan 

support, passing unanimously in the 

House and 28-3 in the Senate. ∞

While original target deadlines have long 

passed, plans announced in early 2011 

for a modern health and wellness center 

to be built on city of Broadview Heights 

property are “still moving forward,” according 

to Broadview Heights Economic 

Development Director Dave Schroedel. 

The dates for the project – a “unique community 

partnership” among the city, Akron 

General Hospital and as-yet-unnamed 

financial partners – have changed, and the 

building will most likely not break ground 

this fall, he said. The overall plans for the 

project, however, remain the same, with a 

fitness area, emergency room, physical therapy, 

diagnostics lab and 40,000-square-foot 

medical office to be constructed next to the 

city hall and government office complex. 

“Akron General’s potential project in 

Broadview Heights is being modified from 

its original scope,” said Jim Gosky, director 

of media and public relations for Akron 

General Health System. “At this time, we 

are not able to provide any further details.” 

The wellness center also is still a developer-financed 

project, according to 

Schroedel. “The financial situation is 

working out,” he said. 

Holding up the project, to which Akron 

General remains committed, is the hospital’s 

desire for having partners in the facility, 

which is their national model, according 

to Schroedel. “We are in conversation 

with a potential partner who is completing 

their due diligence,” he said. “We hope to 

have an answer in the next couple months, 

at which time the project will speed up.” 

He said the city and hospital are not 

having problems getting the partners, 

“but it has slowed the process while they 

evaluate the financial proformas.” 

Earlier this year, the project scope received 

a face-lift and a major addition, 

initially delaying the planning process as 

the hospital also searched for a developer. 

At that time, in a sign the center was moving 

forward, Akron General selected Signet 

Development to develop the project 

in a joint venture that goes by the name 

Integrated Wellness Partners. 

Schroedel in March 2011 said the city 

“optimistically would like to see the construction 

process begin this year (2011).” 

He said then that project leaders would 

Akron General Wellness Center Remains 

a Healthy Probability for Broadview Heights 

in 2013 and were working with that goal 

in mind, noting then that the project has 

a 12- to 14-month construction process. 

At that time, final plans were not yet 

complete, but the scope of the project 

changed to include the addition of 

a 40,000-square-foot medical office 

building. Initial plans also called for a 

115,000-square-foot wellness facility, 

which would include a medically supervised 

exercise program, an emergency 

medical facility, a competition-size pool, a 

leisure pool, a warm-water therapy pool, a 

spa and three gymnasiums, two of which 

will be designated for use by the Broadview 

Heights Parks and Recreation Department. 

In March 2011, leaders said the $25 

million to $30 million facility would create 

a variety of new jobs, from wellness 

to medical professions, with a payroll that 

could exceed $5 million. Schroedel said 

then that Broadview Heights could incur 

costs depending on how city officials 

decide to utilize the new facility, because 

some remodeling and reconstruction of 

the City Administration Building would 

likely be required to eliminate an overlap 

in services, such as the pool. 

At that time, the city planned to lease 

the land to Akron General at little to no 

cost, while the hospital would offer services 

and recreational facilities to residents at 

discounted or no charges, but Schroedel 

could not elaborate on the current status 

of that arrangement. 

“The financial agreement will not be finalized 

until it goes through city council,” 

he said at that time. ∞

Protecting Those 

Baby Blues Here’s an 

eye-opening 

statistic: Vision 

problems 

affect one in 

20 preschoolers 

and one in 

four schoolaged 

children. 

In the United 

States, more 

than 12 million 

children suffer from visual impairment. 

Early detection is key in ensuring your child’s 

good eye health, so it’s important to begin vision 

testing around age five or sooner if you 

suspect a problem. 

October is the perfect time for your child to 

visit an eyecare professional. In addition to 

getting their eyes ready for back-to-school, 

October has been designated Children’s Eye 

Health and Safety Month. Vision plays a role 

in good grades, sports participation, and social 

acceptance- all things that are critical in a 

child’s school life. 

Many times, vision screenings are conducted 

at school. However, vision screenings alone 

are by no means infallible. In fact, they fail 

to indicate vision problems in 7% to 10% of 

children screened. A comprehensive eye exam 

performed by an eye doctor is the only assurance 

of reasonably detecting and diagnosing 

vision problems in children. 

Beyond regular eye exams, it’s important to 

pay attention to your child’s hobbies. Is he 

or she involved in sports? Does she conduct 

experiments in the school’s chemistry lab? 

Does he spend time in shop class or working 

with power tools? All of these activities put 

eyes at risk. Talk to your child’s eye doctor 

about protective eyewear with polycarbonate 

lenses or shields. 

Despite your best efforts, sometimes an eye 

injury can occur. Be sure to follow up with 

an eye doctor, even if everything looks fine. 

Eye injuries can go unseen and can result 

in vision problems. At Stage House Vision 

Center, we always make time in our schedule 

for eye emergencies. Many times we can treat 

the problem at our office or we will make an 

appropriate referral if necessary.

Putka Responds to School Population Article 

To the Editor: 

In your October issue, you made 

a clumsy attempt to discredit me by 

comparing “not the official attendance 

numbers” from 2012 to a projection for 

attendance in 2015! What you failed 

to print was the numbers I used were 

provided by the school district in conjunction 

with the Five-Year Financial 

Forecast filing required by state law every 

May and October. So how can I be 

“wrong” about a projection made by the 

district? So who was correct, the district 

… or the district? A better use of that 

space would have been to report that 

Support Local Bill of Rights 


On Aug. 9, Mothers Against Drilling 

in our Neighborhoods (MADION) 

submitted a petition bearing 1,742 

signatures to the Broadview Heights 

City Council to qualify an initiative 

that would ban oil and gas drilling 

within the city. On Sept. 4 and 10, the 

Broadview Heights City Council and 

the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, 

respectively, both voted unanimously 

to place the initiative onto this 

November’s ballot for your vote. 

The initiative would establish a local 

bill of rights – recognizing residents’ 

rights to clean air and clean water – 

while banning oil and gas drilling that 

would violate those rights. In addition, 

the initiative would elevate the rights of 

residents above the claimed “rights” that 

oil and gas corporations have routinely 

used to override municipal drilling bans. 

In doing so, Broadview Heights would 

join over 140 other communities across 

the country that have adopted similar 

laws. 

To stop communities from determining 

their own futures, the oil and gas 

industry has used state governments to 

adopt laws that strip municipalities of 

the authority to decide whether to be 

hydro-fracked or not. In 2004, Ohio 

joined those states by passing a law that 

attempts to remove all local control over 

oil and gas drilling. 

Mayor Sam Alai, in the last issue of 

under the new labor contracts the district 

will: A) Still be deficit spending, increasing 

each year of the contracts. B) Grant 

many teachers double-digit percentage 

raises. C) Turn a $10,000,000 cash fund 

surplus in 2012 (accrued through too 

high tax rates) to a $1,600,000 fund 

deficit by 2015.

Mill Road 

Editor’s note: The article Mr. Putka refers to 

appeared in the Oct. 2012 issue. Kay Kerezy 

wrote the main article, but the addition 

of Mr. Putka’s information was added in 

editing. 

the BroadView Journal, told voters that 

they just had to accept this corporate/ 

state power grab. 

Ohio communities, however, have 

begun to understand that the only way 

to protect their health, their homes 

and their families is to search for ways 

around industry-drafted state laws. 

That is why Broadview Heights isn’t the 

only municipality proposing a ban on 

drilling and fracking. Cincinnati and 

Yellow Springs, Ohio, both banned certain 

forms of drilling. Mansfield is also 

considering a drilling ban. Yet, unlike 

Mayor Alai, Mansfield’s law director has 

even declared that he is prepared to go to 

the Ohio Supreme Court to defend his 

community’s right to protect its water 

resources. Other elected officials need 

to follow his lead. 

And it will take more than that – Ohio 

communities may have to join together 

to propose changes to state law (and 

even the Ohio Constitution) that further 

secure the right for communities 

to decide whether to be fracked or not. 

On Election Day, Broadview Heights 

voters will be asked to vote on this 

initiative. A “yes” vote is the first step 

toward securing a future where the 

community’s rights trump the powers 

claimed by oil and gas corporations.

Science Curriculum 

Will Benefit From 

Bond Issue 


We are now well into the school year 

and are happy to report that our science 

classes at North Royalton High School 

are packed with students learning everything 

from cellular respiration to 

vector analysis. We have 89 percent of 

our students taking four years of science. 

Our graduates are going on to further 

their education in science majors across 

the United States, and we are pleased to 

count numerous graduates – now doctors, 

nurses, engineers and pharmacists 

– who benefited from the rigorous science 

courses at NRHS. 

We know how important STEM (Science 

Technology Engineering and Math) 

careers awill be in the future, and how important 

it will be for all graduates to have 

a solid foundation in science. Innovations 

in science are coming at a breakneck pace, 

and it is our job as educators to make sure 

our students are prepared for the future. 

At this time, we are severely limited in 

our ability to offer the necessary lab experience 

for our students. Five of our 12 

science teachers are teaching in classrooms 

that lack adequate electricity, water and 

lab equipment. High school science labs 

are a priority if the proposed bond issue 

is passed. Renovating our current labs 

and building new science classrooms will 

support our science curriculum and give 

our students the education that they need 

and deserve. 

This is why we are asking you to look to 

the future of our schools and community 

and vote for the bond issue on Nov 6.

It is Time to Renovate North Royalton Schools 


When your roof leaks and your furnace 

becomes unreliable, you repair them. 

Eventually, the day comes that repairs 

are no longer possible, and they need to 

be replaced. That time has come for the 

North Royalton City Schools. We have 

five school buildings that need extensive 

roof, heating and/or electrical upgrades 

so that we do not need to replace them. 

We need to bring the kindergarten classes 

back to our elementary buildings. Our 

school system has always worked on the 

principle of doing more with less. We 

have an excellent education program with 

one of the lowest costs per pupil in the 

county. As the cities of North Royalton 

and Broadview Heights grow, our schools 

have more students. We have two choices: 

Build another school, or add classrooms 

to our existing buildings. Do more with 

less – the most economical answer is to 

renovate the schools we have. 

I have lived in North Royalton school 

district since 1968. I am a senior citizen 

– and I do not want to pay more taxes – 

but this is a plan that will save us money 

in the long run. Maintain what we have 

so we do not need to build new. 

Please join me and support our students 

and vote for the bond issue in November.

PTA Presidents Support Bond Issue 


The Nov. 6 bond issue is a product of 

years of work by the Shape Our Schools’ 

Future Committee and is designed to address 

much-needed renovation and repairs 

at our district’s facilities. 

The benefits of this initiative will be 

significant. Renovated, appropriately 

sized and modern facilities will mean 

increased functional space, decreased 

congestion and improved efficiency for 

students, faculty and staff. This plan also 

includes energy-efficient systems, improved 

security and controlled access. We 

will benefit from additional community 

space. The district will realize improved 

scheduling, enhanced indoor air quality 

and operational savings. Instructional 

technology upgrades will help ensure 

our district maintains opportunities and 

growth commensurate with 21 st -century 

learning. 

The high school renovations include 

expanded space for science, computer, 

band and music classes, plus community 

use; additional administrative and storage 

space; and upgrades to windows and 

heating, roofing and electrical systems. 

Upgrades will allow the high school to 

offer a greater range of coursework with 

the equipment and technology necessary 

for our children to compete in the everexpanding 

global economy. Almost 50 

percent of the bond issue funds will be 

utilized at the high school. 

The districtwide improvements include: 

renovations to address the needs of preschool 

and kindergarten students; core 

space for gym or cafeteria (community 

use also); improved security and office 

space; a new roof for the middle school; 

and upgrades to heating, roofs, plumbing 

and electrical systems.

NRHS Grad Sees How 

Facilities Are Lacking 


I graduated from North Royalton High 

School and am now a junior in college. 

I had a wonderful high school experience 

and feel very fortunate to have had 

teachers that were not only exceptionally 

talented and knowledgeable in their 

field, but who also cared about me as an 

individual. 

While I knew that our high school 

building was old and our science labs were 

not as up to date as they should be, I did 

not know or appreciate the extent until 

seeing the facilities at college. I can state 

from personal experience that students 

from other high schools have an advantage 

because they have benefited from 

working and learning using up-to-date 

labs and equipment. 

We have a chance to provide the students 

at NRHS the same opportunities 

students have at other districts by passing 

the bond issue on the November ballot. 

The science labs are in desperate need of 

renovation, and this bond issue will make 

that possible. Please give NRHS students 

the chance to learn in a 21st-century facility. 

Please vote yes.

Support Drilling Ban to Preserve 

by Jennifer Mahnic 

This November, you will have the opportunity 

to vote on Issue 29, also known 

as the Broadview Heights Community Bill 

of Rights. This issue was presented to city 

council by Mothers Against Drilling in Our 

Neighborhoods (MADION), along with 

a petition signed by over 1,500 residents. 

Most of us are aware that drilling and 

hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” have 

helped expand oil and gas production in 

our region. This is a controversial issue 

with much research and opinions on both 

sides. I recognize that our residents have 

the right to profit from drilling on their 

personal property. However, we must be 

conscious that those rights do not infringe 

on the rights of others in neighboring yards 

and the community as a whole. Residents 

are being forced by the oil and gas industry 

at the state level to be mandatorily pooled 

into the necessary acreage for a well. Issue

Rights, affirms that we as residents have the 

right to self-governance. With more and 

more studies showing fracking negatively 

impacting a community in so many ways 

− including health risks, decreased home 

values, plus environmental damage to water 

and air − I believe residents have a right 

to say “no” to drilling in their backyards. 

The Bill of Rights would allow our city and 

its residents to stand up to the state and 

other agencies and stop the spread of new 

wells in our neighborhoods. 

As a concerned parent, I believe that 

these practices are coming at too much 

of an expense to the public health of our 

neighborhoods. That is why I am asking 

you to join in me and the Mothers Against 

Drilling in Our Neighborhood in support 

of Issue 29 and give the residents back 

their rights to clean water, clean air and 

a safe environment to raise their families.

chiroPRACTICALLY 

SPEAKING... 

Today’s Topic: 

The History of Chiropractic 

Although primitive forms of chiropractic 

have been around for centuries, chiropractic as 

we know it began over 100 

years ago. In 1895, D.D. 

Palmer met Harvey Lillard, 

the owner of the janitorial 

service where Palmer 

practiced medicine. Lillard 

described his hearing loss 

to Palmer, stating that he 

lost most of his hearing 17 

years earlier after having 

strained his back and hearing a loud “pop”. 

Palmer felt Lillard’s spine and found a vertebra 

out of alignment. When he pushed the vertebra 

back into place, Lillard said his hearing 

improved – and continued to improve with 

further “adjustments” of his spine. Dr. Palmer 

reasoned that nerve flow can be interrupted 

when the spine puts pressure on the nerves it 

encapsulates. If he could release that pressure 

by realigning the spine – through spinal adjustments 

– he thought he could improve the 

body’s performance. 

Today, modern chiropractic relies on the 

same principle, namely that when your nervous 

system – which is the only organ of the 

body totally encased in bone – is under pressure 

from the spinal column, that pressure 

needs to be removed to restore proper nervous 

system function. Since the nervous system 

controls every function of our bodies, it isn’t 

too surprising that spinal misalignment contributes 

to all kinds of symptoms, nor is it unusual 

to find that relieving that nerve pressure 

can relieve a variety of symptoms. Most commonly, 

patients seek the help of a chiropractor 

for back and neck pain, but they also find that 

chiropractic can help the body heal symptoms 

such as digestive problems, migraines and even 

sleep disorders. 

Have you had your nervous system checked?

Nov. 9 through 17 

The Broadview Heights Spotlights 

Community Theater will present the 

musical John & Jen from Nov. 9 through 

17. This two-person musical explores the 

complexities of relationships between sisters 

and brothers, and mothers and sons. 

The musical is the work of lyricist Tom 

Greenwald and composer Andrew Lippa. 

Spanning 1952-1992, the piece tells the 

story of Jen and the two Johns in her life: 

her younger brother and her son (both 

played by the same actor). Through the 

years, Jen and her brother grow from 

young confidantes into adults with different 

views. These contradictory views 

result in a falling-out when John joins 

the Navy. After John is tragically killed in 

24 



Spotlights Presents John & Jen 

Vietnam, Jen gives birth to a son, whom 

she names John. She goes to touching and 

often humorous lengths to resurrect her 

late brother’s memory. 

The show features Tim Anderson, 

education director for the Spotlights, 

and Tara Shooks, accompanied by musical 

director Deborah Ingersoll on piano. 

North Royalton High School senior, 

Marla Gigliotti on cello and Tom Roblee 

on percussion complete the list of instrumentalists. 

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and 

Saturdays, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets

Cleveland turned into a lair of international 

crime in October and entangled 

Brecksville in the spider’s web of homicide, 

malice and deceit. 

The Brecksville Public Library received 

a visit from VIP guests, authors Charles 

Todd and Caroline Todd, a mother-andson 

writing team who, under the nom 

de plume “Charles Todd” together have 

been published internationally as mystery 

and thriller novelists. Their appearance 

here tied to Bouchercon at the Cleveland

and many others, specialists in genres 

from hardboiled-PI yarns to “cozies,” the 

Agatha Christie-style whodunits about 

relatively mild mayhem in rural-village 

environments. 

Charles Todd – that is, Charles Todd 

and Caroline Todd – were among the 

Bouchercon guests who made satellite 

appearances at suburban branches of the 

Cuyahoga County Public Library. 

“We’re very supportive of libraries,” said 

Charles Todd. “We started going when we 

were both in preschool, and it became a 

habit early on to use our libraries on a 

regular basis.” 

As “Charles Todd,” the mother-son 

pair, though U.S.-born and based on the 

East Coast, have indulged their mutual 

interests in English history to produce 

a number of period mystery novels. 

Their best-known recurring character is 

Inspector Ian Rutledge, a British veteran 

of World War I, battling crime in the 

Between-the-Wars era despite a painful 

past that includes what would now be 

called post-traumatic stress disorder; the 

lawman is secretly taunted by a voice only 

he can hear, a young soldier Rutledge 

executed on the battlefield for insubordination. 

Rutledge made his debut in 

1996 in the first collaboration between 

the mother and son. 

Said Caroline Todd, “Our first book, A 

Test of Wills, was picked up at once, much 

to our surprise and was shortlisted for 

quite a few awards here and in England. 

But of course, this added to the pressure 

for future books! We had to live up to

what we’d started.” 

Following A Test of Wills, Inspector 

Rutledge starred in 14 more novels, with 

another Rutledge thriller due in January. 

In 2009, with A Duty to the Dead, the 

writing team premiered another running 

character, a WWI British nurse/crimebuster 

named Bess Crawford from an old 

military family. 

“We owe Rutledge so much,” said Caroline, 

“and he’s very important to both of 

us. We still find a great deal to say about 

him and his cases and his life, even after 

15 books. There’s something about him 

that really matters. Surprisingly, we have 

come to like Bess just as much. She’s so

different – her situation is so different. In 

many ways, choosing between Bess and 

Rutledge would be like choosing your 

favorite child in the family – impossible 

to do because each is an individual.” 

On being a tandem mother-son writing 

team, Caroline said, “The suggestion 

began as sort of a joke: let’s see if we can 

do this. Charles and I happened to share 

a love of history – and of movies – and 

with that common background it was at 

least possible that we could write together 

without killing each other. What we 

didn’t expect was how much we enjoyed 

the challenge. That may be the secret of 

our success.”

As far as potential ‘creative differences,’ 

she said, “If there’s an impasse, we try to 

understand why, and then look at the 

story we’re telling. Which direction will 

work better for the book or the people in 

it? That usually works. If it doesn’t, we 

have to come up with another solution, 

because the impasse is usually pointing 

to a larger problem. So far, we’ve always 

found an answer. 

“No one ever asks what we’ve learned 

about each other since we started writing 

together. But the fact is, we’ve learned to 

see each other as people, colleagues, not 

just as mother and son. We work on an

“My sister and my father give us a

Why mysteries? Charles said, “I’ve 

written articles for in-house publications. 

I never expected to become a mystery 

writer. We wrote mysteries because that’s 

what we mostly read for pleasure, along 

with a lot of non-fiction, and so that’s

Roger Robertson of Broadview Heights, 

77, served in the Army in Korea for 18 

months in 1953. “I don’t regret serving in 

the Army in Korea, but when I got out of 

there, what upset me the most was when 

people called it a police action. It was a 

real war. Good men were killed, shot and 

maimed,” he said. 

Robertson served two years of active 

duty in the Army and four years in the 

Army Reserve. 

The Korean War pitted the Korean 

People’s Democratic Republic (North Korea) 

against the Republic of Korea (South 

Korea) from 1950 to 1953 and ended in 

an inconclusive cease-fire. The United 

States fought on the side of South Korea. 

Robertson grew up on the west side 

of Cleveland and attended Central 

Catholic High School. After graduation, 

he was a professional baseball player in 

Youngstown. He and several fellow players 

decided to join the Army. His mother 

assumed he wanted to go to Germany, 

where his brother was serving in the Army. 

“But I told her I wanted to go to Korea 

Veteran Shares His Korean War Experiences 

with four of my baseball teammates. I got 

my wish and was sent to Korea,” he said. 

Robertson was a rifleman in the 17th 

Infantry. “We were considered to be a 

special outfit. They called us the Charging 

Charley Company. We were the ones 

who led the attacks. We were told that the 

war was over, but there were still pockets 

of Chinese soldiers that hadn’t given up. 

While on patrol they fired a mortar shell 

at us, and I was hit in the back by a piece 

of shrapnel. I was given up for dead, but 

the MASH unit and the great doctors and 

nurses saved my life. I can’t say enough 

about them.” 

After his wound healed, Robertson was 

sent back to the United States, where he 

was promoted to sergeant and trained 

new recruits. “All in all, I was lucky that 

I got out in good shape, but I was really 

glad to get out of that country,” he said. 

“At the Memorial Day event this year, 

I was driving a parade car representing 

Korean War veterans when two Korean 

ladies ran out of the crowd, stopped me, 

and gave me big hugs. I was really moved,” 

he said. ∞

Schools Get Creative in Helping Yuletide Hunger Program 

by Cheryl D’Mello 

Why was Chris Hartland, principal of 

Brecksville-Broadview Heights’ Central 

School, camping in a tent on the school 

rooftop on a cold December day in 2011? 

Most of the school kids knew the answer. 

It had to do with the annual Yuletide 

Hunger Drive. 

“The teachers and I came up with this 

idea: If the kids brought in 2,011 food 

items, I would spend the day camped on 

the rooftop.” Pleased at the overwhelming 

response to his appeal (2,400 items), 

he spent his day on the flat part of the 

roof working, FaceTiming with kids in 

classrooms in the school district, drinking 

hot cocoa and holding a video conference. 

David Mansberry began the Yuletide 

Hunger Drive in 1983. He wanted to 

give back to the community for helping 

his brother, Rusty, before he passed away 

from a terminal illness. Mansberry is the 

honorary chair of the program, which 

covers Brecksville, Broadview Heights, 

Independence and Seven Hills. Today, 

the program helps about 140 families and 

individuals in the four cities, including 

about 20 families in Brecksville. The goal 

is to feed the families a balanced diet for 

30 days. There are a number of seniors, 

too, who are included in the program. 

Collection of perishable and nonperishable 

items will take place between Nov. 5 

and Dec. 3. Yuletide Week runs Dec. 3-8. 

Food and other items are collected through 

the Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools. 

Nonperishable food also can be donated 

anytime at the Brecksville and Broadview 

Heights human services offices, the Independence 

Civic Center and Seven Hills 

City Hall. The Brecksville Branch of the 

Cuyahoga County Public Library also will 

accept nonperishable food items. 

“The Brecksville-Broadview Heights 

City School District is the No. 1 foundation 

block of the program. We don’t 

know where we would be without them,” 

said Ted Lux, Brecksville human services 

director. 

“Our schools make a big deal of it every 

year,” said Cathy Harbinak, coordinator 

of community relations for BBHCSD. 

Each school collects money and food 

in different and creative ways. The high 

school students raise several thousands 

of dollars, and the money goes toward 

purchasing food. 

The schools send the information about 

the program to families whose children 

qualify for the school lunch program or 

to those who are part of the Ohio Energy 

Assistance Program. The individual or 

family then can contact the human services 

director in their city. The cities also 

publicize the program. 

Volunteers – including student council 

members, staff, principals and administrators 

– help sort and pack boxes at the old 

school building at Blossom Hill. This year, 

the community sort is Monday, Dec. 3. 

A gift card for a turkey is included in the 

items each family receives. 

Going hand in hand with the hunger 

drive is the Adopt-a-Family Program, in 

which companies and individuals provide 

Christmas gifts for a family. Area businesses, 

churches, service organizations 

and residents donate clothing and toys, 

as well as cash to buy perishable food for 

the families. 

Families are required to apply to the human 

service director in their respective cities. 

They list their children’s ages and what 

they need. “We are here for the basics,” 

said Lux, whose office handles the main 

coordination for this program. “We don’t 

take requests for electronic gift items. It is 

not fair to ask the donor to spend the kind 

of money needed for electronic equipment. 

“This area is so generous,” he continued. 

“Typically, we have more people who 

want to adopt than families who want 

to be adopted.” About 70 families in the 

Yuletide program also receive gifts from 

Adopt-A-Family. 

Judy Lewis and Ken Orchard are among 

the chief volunteers who sort out the food 

for the Yuletide Hunger Drive. Lewis, 72, 

has been doing it for more than 15 years. 

“Some of the volunteers are elderly. 

You are on your knees on the boxes; it is 

hard,” she said. “It’s a good thing to get 

the strong kids to help. We do get a lot of 

support from the community.” 

Each city delivers the food to its residents. 

“I enjoy doing the work,” Lewis 

said. “It gives you a wonderful feeling 

that you can contribute to making people 

happy at Christmas.”

should call 440-526-5206. ∞

Lice continued 

children got lice at school. Lowe and 

Covington are moms who have had real 

life experiences treating their children’s 

lice problems. 

“It can set a parent into panic and 

stress,” Lowe said. “Lice are highly contagious 

because children have a lot of 

contact with their friends and classmates 

at school [and day care]. They pick up 

lice from hats, athletic helmets, borrowed 

combs and brushes, others’ clothing, pillows, 

blankets and even headphones,” 

said Lowe. 

Head lice – tiny insects that live in 

a person’s hair and feed on very small 

amounts of blood from the scalp – have 

been around for centuries, Covington 

said, and those who get them are ashamed 

to talk about it. 

“It is important to take action quickly 

so they don’t spread to others in your 

household,” Covington said. 

To help parents determine if their child 

has lice, she offered these facts: Lice eggs 

look like flakes of dandruff on the hair 

close to the scalp. Females glue their eggs 

to hair about a quarter inch from the 

scalp. A female louse can produce up to 

10 eggs a day for during its lifespan of 30 

to 40 days, and the eggs hatch seven to 

10 days later.

“People who get lice should not be 

embarrassed about it,” Lowe said. “It is 

not that you are not clean. In fact, lice 

prefer clean hair. “When my daughter, 

son and I got them, I was in a complete 

panic. We tried using off-the-shelf 

products and discovered that they were 

petroleum-based, which was irritating to 

my daughter’s scalp. 

“My husband is a chemist, so I told him 

he should develop a product that is water-

based. After much trial and error, he did 

it. All of the solutions we use on children 

and adults alike are nontoxic enzymes.” 

The treatment includes an application 

of the lice-fighting solution and combing 

out the lice from the hair. 

Covington said they offer free lice inspection 

for children and adults. They 

make home visits to spray carpets and 

textiles and sell the special shampoo, conditioners 

and spray for home treatments. 

The treatments are guaranteed and, if 

needed, patients can come back twice at

members exhibiting a lice problem at no

Chamber Kicks Off 

Program To Buy Locally 


The Broadview Heights Chamber of 

Commerce held a dinner at St. Michael’s 

Woodside Party Center as an evening 

of “inspiration and a celebration of local 

businesses,” said Executive Director 

Cheryle Costa. 

She reported that the chamber has 

experienced a 40 percent growth in 

members, bringing membership to 154. 

The evening’s presentation introduced a 

new program called “Share the View,” 

which promotes the concept of “living 

local” and appreciating what Broadview 

Heights businesses can offer residents and 

other companies. 

The chamber sponsors a weekly business 

lunch, a weekly referral group and a 

monthly meeting to provide members opportunities 

to network and promote their 

businesses. “Not only do our programs 

promote local businesses, the public 

benefits because when there is a strong 

business community it strengthens the 

overall community,” said Costa. 

Chamber President Karen Becker said, 

“Businesses should really give the Chamber 

of Commerce a look. We give 20 to 

30 percent more benefits than networking 

groups. Businesses can join for as 

little as $175 a year and promote their 

business.” ∞ 




Stonewall Uniforms Celebrates Move and Grand Reopening 


Stonewall Uniforms has been in business 

for 22 years, with many of those 

years in leased space in the Stonewall Firearms 

Range building on Royalton Road 

near the I-77 interchange in Broadview 

Heights. However, the firearms range 

needed space to expand, so Stonewall 

Uniforms moved next door to a new store. 

The business specializes in a full line of 

police and fire uniforms and gear, including 

body armor, heavy-fire protective outerwear, 

shoes, boots and even underwear. 

Owners Tom and Diane Keller bought the 

business in 1991. 

“We carry only top-rated clothing and 

are proud of the quality of our uniforms 

and our customer service and for providing 

one-stop shopping,” Tom Keller said. 

“We can completely dress a police officer 

from their underwear to their duty uniforms, 

badges, arm patches, footwear and 

body armor except their weapon.

Diane Keller said 

the company serves 

more than 100 organizations 

in 

Cuyahoga, Summit,

As the air starts to turn chilly, we have 

news of our neighbors to warm us ... 

The highest rank in Boy Scouts of America, 

Eagle Scout, has been presented to 

Allen Drown of Troop 810 from Assumption 

Church. To achieve Eagle Scout, the 

Scout must complete a required number 

of merit badges; advance through seven 

scouting ranks; work on countless service 

projects in the community church and 

school; show leadership; and organize and 

implement a service project. 

Drown’s project included building two 

garden arbors at the Hilton Elementary 

School Habitat, and planting and fencing 

in three Arborvitae trees. Drown is a 

junior at Brecksville-Broadview Heights 

High School and plays tuba for the 

marching band. He is the son of Gary 

and Jayne Drown. 

Congratulations to the following 

BBHHS students who auditioned and 

were selected for the prestigious 2012 

OMEA Northeast Ohio Regional Orchestra: 

Abby Smith, Taylor Basnett, 

Conrad Paganini, Tim Klima, Josh 

Dietrich, Hannah Olsen, Matt Adrianowycz, 

Mark Williams and Cecilia 

Chen. In addition, Abby and Hannah 

were selected for the 2013 OMEA All-

alternate. The BBHHS Orchestra has had 

members in the All-State Orchestra over 

the past four years, and Abby is returning 

for a second year in a row.

Madison and her parents 

picked up the bike 

at the Romeo’s Pizza in 

Broadview Heights. The 

timing of Madison’s win 

was perfect, because she 

had just sold her bike 

and was in need of a new 

one, her parents said. Cub

for new members. 

This month, a troop will 

be starting at the Brecksville

Since 1910, Boy Scouts 

of America have been 

weaving lifetime values 

into fun and educational 

activities designed to assist 

parents in strengthening 

character, good citizenship 

and physical fitness 

in youngsters. 

Scouting teaches family 

values. We know that boys 

do not join Scouting just 

to build character. Boys join because it 

is fun. Experience it all with your son: 

camping, hiking, archery, crafts, pinewood 

derby, rain gutter regatta and much 

more. As the founder, Baden Powell, said, 

“Scouting is fun with a purpose!”

marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon 

(13.1 miles) or the five-person relay. For 

participants younger than 14 years, there 

was a kid’s one-mile fun run. 

“I try to average about 

50 miles a week of 

mixed long runs, speed

friends.” 

Jeffrey Schneider 

“I competed in the age group 30-34 

and finished fifth in one hour and 22 

minutes,” Schneider said. “The half 

course is very fast with little to no uphills.” 

Originally from Hubbard, Ohio, 

Schneider attended Ohio State University 

and works at Goodyear in Akron. He ran 

track in high school and recently became 

interested in running again, he said, when 

he “realized I weighed 205 pounds, the 

highest in my life.” 

After that realization, he started to train 

for shorter races and eventually built up 

to his first marathon in 2008. He runs 

mostly in the Cleveland Metroparks, 

and “when the weather is nice,” on the 

Towpath Trail. 

When the weather is not accommodating, 

Schneider said, you will find him at 

the Broadview Heights Recreation Center 

on the treadmills. “I try to average about 

50 miles a week of mixed long runs, speed 

work and runs with friends.” 

Regarding his diet, in training and 

before a run, he said, “My special diet 

consists of eating everything and anything 

in sight, a ‘see-food’ diet. I love to eat and 

enjoy good food, which is why I need to 

run. I do try to keep my weight down 

though, as running with extra weight is 

like carrying a backpack.”

Before a race, he said, “I eat a bagel, with

The half and full marathons share the

a route that starts on South Broadway

for other events, such as the prestigious 

Boston Marathon. 

The Akron event is sponsored by the 

Akron Marathon Charitable Corp. 

(AMCC), which was established in 2002. 

The AMCC is a tax-exempt charitable 

organization whose purpose is to promote 

health and fitness, stimulate the local 

economy and benefit charitable organizations. 

Marathon events are supported by 

corporate and foundation financial support, 

the city of Akron, and the donation 

of time and talent by volunteers. 

Giving this year’s Akron Marathon a 

thumbs up, Schneider said, “It was a 

perfect morning for running (low 50s and 

sunny), and the volunteers on the course 

made for a perfect race. It’s a great local 

race, and I encourage everyone who runs 

locally or is looking to get into the sport 

to consider this race.” 

Of his future running plans, Schneider 

said, “I will be running the full Columbus 

Marathon this Oct. 21. I am hoping to 

break three hours for the first time.” ∞

Broadview Heights Native’s Baseball Success 

a Product of Attitude and Family, Friends, Coaches 

by Calvin Jefferson 

It took a village to raise Ross Kivett into 

one of the top collegiate baseball players 

that he has become. From his close 

family and throughout his hometown 

of Broadview Heights, the Kansas State 

University junior credits a host of people 

with helping him succeed at the college 

level – which included his recent 2012 

Player of the Year award in the Perfect 

Game Collegiate Baseball League. 

“My parents, my brother and sister; 

they’re the best support system anyone 

could ask for,” said Kivett, a St. Edward 

High School graduate. “The sacrifices they 

have and continue to make for me, words 

do not do justice to. They have shown 

me that anything is possible if you work 

hard, and I feel my work ethic is second 

to none.” 

He also acknowledges that the city in 

which he grew up also played a major role 

in his baseball development. “Broadview 

Heights was always very competitive because 

of all the good athletes in the town, 

and all the successful people that keep it 

striving, it makes you want to be the best,” 

he said. “The people, my friends and other 

Children’s Dentistry

Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry 

Diplomate, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry 

of Brecksville 

community members were always pushing 

me to be the best.” 

And Kivett is fast becoming one of the 

best collegiate players in the country, as 

he showed in the Perfect Game Collegiate 

Baseball League (PGCBL), an eight-team 

collegiate summer league in which all 

players must have NCAA eligibility remaining 

to participate. 

“I try to represent my 

home to the best of 

my abilities. It is easy 

to play when you have 

such a strong backbone, 

and I owe that 

to my city.”

In earning the PGCBL Player of the 

Year, Kivett won the league batting title, 

hitting .401 over 40 games before leaving 

his team, the Glens Falls Golden

He also led the league in on-base percentage 

(.497), hits (61) and stolen bases 

(37). Kivett finished among the league’s 

top five qualifying hitters in slugging 

percentage (.556), runs scored (41), total 

bases (86), triples (three) and times hit by 

a pitch (nine). 

He also hit three home runs with 29 

RBIs, 10 doubles and 22 walks. He 

reached base safely via hit, walk or hit-bypitch 

in each of the 40 games in which he 

played, leading all PGCBL batters with 

21 multiple-hit games. His baseball coach 

at Kansas State University, Brad Hill, is 

not surprised by Kivett’s accomplishments 

and knows he attained them through hard 

work and dedication. 

“Ross is an ultra-competitive player. He 

brings energy, emotion and passion to the 

baseball field everyday,” Hill said. 

“We knew Ross would be a very good 

athlete but needed to improve his baseball 

skills. Ross has improved almost every 

facet of his game, from defense to a more 

fundamental swing, to base-running 

aptitude.” 

Hill also thinks Kivett can and will play 

baseball at the next level. “How high (he 

will go in the professional level) will relate 

back to finding a right fit defensively and 

continuing to improve his overall baseball 

skills,” Hall said. “I know I wouldn’t bet 

against seeing Ross in a major-league 

uniform someday.” 

Even back in high school, his coach 

could see the upside in Kivett’s game, 

given his dedication to getting better. 

“Ross was a refuse-to-lose guy, super-hard 

worker with a tireless energy to excel at 

the sport,” said Danny Allie, former head 

baseball coach at St. Edward High School. 

“I saw a continuing improvement in his 

skill sets because of his passion to the 

sport and the burning desire to play at 

the next level.” 

That attitude extended beyond the baseball 

field in high school, where he was a 

First Team All-Northeast Ohio selection 

by ESPN Rise in 2010. Kivett also lettered 

three years in hockey, earning all-state 


accolades in 2010. 

A communications major at Kansas 

State who said he would like to coach 

college baseball someday, Kivett was 

also a four-year honor roll student at St. 

Edward. 

He said college is going well for him, 

and he is enjoying the academics as well 

as baseball. “The professors and curriculum 

challenge me, and the tutors I work 

with along with my academic advisor are 

great,” Kivett said. “Baseball is business. 

They treat you like a man. Our whole staff 

loves to compete, and it has taught me a 

lot about myself. 

“I love my teammates. We’re a big family. 

I couldn’t be doing what I’m doing 

with out them.” 

Kivett’s parents, Mike and Mary, and his 

two siblings, Juliana and Jake, continue 

to support him from home in Broadview 

Heights, as they have from an early age. 

“His love for baseball started early. Playing 

travel baseball by the age of 8, we 

could see his competitive nature coming 

through,” Mike Kivett said. “As any parent 

involved in travel ‘anything’ will tell 

you, it’s quite the commitment for the 

child. Ross never complained about the 

never-ending practices and was usually 

the last one off the field. 

“I think this set the stage for his understanding 

that the competition was tough 

and that he would have to work hard.” 

Kivett said he also owes a lot of credit 

to Ken Wilson of Extra Innings Baseball 

and Ed Jamison, who were his main 

coaches until college. “They spent a lot 

of time working with me; countless hours 

in the warehouse working on my swing 

or fielding,” Kivett said. “It has not gone 

unappreciated.” 

Mike and Mary Kivett said they could 

not be more proud of their son, no matter 

where his future leads him. “It’s very 

gratifying to see him get his education and 

play Big 12 baseball,” Mike Kivett said. 

“Ross would love to play Major League 

Baseball, and if he continues on the path 

he is on, I’m sure that will happen. 

“If it doesn’t, I know that his nevertake-a-play-off 

attitude will allow him to 

achieve great things.” 

Kivett is looking forward to his coming 

junior year, playing with “the hardest-

working team I have ever been a part of.” 

He said the squad plans to be “better than 

yesterday, every new day, playing hard and 

playing with passion.” 

“I hope to lead this team to many wins 

with a smile on my 

face everyday, and 

continue to count my 

blessings. Hopefully, 

one day a professional 

team appreciates my 

style of play and I get

will continue with 

the game he loves and 

has so much fun playing 

– attributes he

skills, but also his approach

PSO Donates Fence to Central School 


Over the summer, the Brecksville- 

Broadview Heights Parent School Organization 

(PSO) built a 275-foot ornamental 

wrought-iron fence along Royalton Road 

in front of the Brecksville-Broadview 

Heights Central School. A small sign 

on the fence reads: “The Central School 

North Campus Project Paid for by the 

Central School Parent School Organization 

2009-2012.” 

In addition to the fence, they built, next 

to the school building, a 10-by-12-foot 

concrete area with a tree in the center 

and furnished it with six weatherproof 

plastic composite picnic tables to accommodate 

outdoor classes. The project was 

completed in August. 

Jan Holkovic, vice president of the 

organization said, “We selected this project 

because, due to the school districts’ 

money constraints, the shrubs along 

Royalton Road in front of the school were 

not being maintained. We felt that the 

bushes should be removed and replaced 

by a wrought iron fence that would look 

much nicer.” 

PSO President Marianne Pilat sought 

and received approval for the project from 

Mayor Jerry Hruby and school Superintendent 

Scot Prebles. 

Holkovic said the project cost $15,775.

“We have been saving money for the 

project for the past three years,” she said. 

This year’s fundraiser is a catalog sale 

that kicked off on Sept. 12. In 2011, 

their fundraising activities earned more 

than $20,000. 

The organization, which has more 

than 300 members, aids all students in 

the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City 

Schools. ∞ 

PSO Sponsors Welcome Night 

The Highland PSO’s first Welcome 

to Highland Night was deemed a 

great success. Families could enjoy 

bouncing houses and ice cream while 

paying school fees, joining the PSO 

and buying spirit wear and tickets 

for the fall festival. Information was 

also provided on fundraisers and 

Market Day. 

Principal Mrs. O’Mara and the PSO 

co-presidents were pleased with the 

turn-out.

y Arlene J. Coloma, D.D.S., M.S. 

There is a lot to enjoy in the fall. There 

are apples and apple cider. There are 

candied apples, too! Then, we have all 

that candy from Halloween. All of these 

foods have sugar in them and, when left 

unchecked in the mouth, can lead to 

tooth decay and cavities. The sugars that 

are in these foods sit on our teeth and 

are eaten by the bacteria in our mouths. 

The bacteria then turn it into acid, which 

then damages the tooth enamel. Children 

are particularly vulnerable to tooth decay. 

Their enamel is thinner and is often in 

contact with more sugar than an adult’s 

teeth. 

There are certain sugary foods and 

candies that should be avoided. Gummy, 

taffy, dried fruit, and caramel and candied 

apples are chewy and sticky. These foods 

can get stuck in the pits and valleys of the 

molars and stay there for awhile before 

they are brushed out.

Sweet Surrender 

Dentistry has some suggestions for parents 

to help keep tooth decay at bay. First, 

avoid overconsumption of sugary treats. 

Allow children to have a piece of candy 

after dinner or lunch time, not as a snack. 

Parents should choose the candy that their 

child should consume. 

Second, lessen the amount of sugar present 

in the mouth. Rinse with water and 

monitor the times candy is consumed and 

for how long. For example, a lollipop or 

hard candy stays in the mouth and against 

the teeth for a longer period of time than 

eating a candy bar. This prolonged exposure 

of sugar against the teeth is a greater 

threat for tooth decay than eating candy 

in a few bites. Children should be encouraged 

to wait to eat Halloween candy until 

they are home from trick-or-treating. 

Third, have children eat candy when 

they can brush their teeth immediately 

afterward. This will help keep sugars from 

getting into the pits and valleys of the 

molars. Always practice good oral hygiene 

Sponsored By 

to avoid possible tooth decay. Visit your 

dental health professional twice a year for 

a cleaning and check-up. Remember to 

brush twice a day and floss at night before 

going to bed. Keeping children’s mouth 

clean and sugar free will help keep their 

teeth healthy. 

To help children in our community keep 

their teeth healthy but still enjoy Halloween, 

parents should bring their children to our 

office to redeem cash for candy!

A finished basement will increase the 

living space in your home at a fraction 

of the cost of constructing a new addition, 

all the while increasing the value 

of your home. 

But before investing any money into 

remodeling your basement, you should 

make sure your basement is in good 

condition and properly prepared. 

If your basement has leaks, cracks or 

other shortcomings, it could cause a 

whole lot of damage to your newly finished 

basement. You do not want your 

basement to get wet, but if it does, you 

do not want it to get ruined. 

The truth of the matter is that almost 

all basements will leak at some point. 

The question is: when? 

Prepare Before Remodeling 

To prepare your basement for finishing, 

first, keep it dry. Sweat the little 

stuff. Flooding is not your only con-

The Truth About Basement Finishing

can also cause problems. 

A wet or damp 

basement is unsuitable 

for finishing. 

This moisture will 

get into the building 

material and

rot and unpleasant 

odors in your basement. Such conditions 

will damage floor coverings, furniture 

and personal items.

y Jeremy Abraham, master stylist 

Q. How long can I expect a color and 

cut to last? When I do my own hair at 

home it lasts a couple of weeks. 

A. Anonymous, I appreciate your question, 

because in this economy, we all 

want to save money where we can. That 

being said, that is a tough question to 

answer. Much depends upon your skill 

level and the tools you use. If you have 

professional shears, the cut will be more 

precise and possibly more effective. If 

your box color is higher quality, and you 

apply it properly, it can last longer than 

two weeks. 

The advantages of doing hair yourself 

are that you save some money initially 

and you do it on your own schedule. 

The challenges are that the color you see 

on the box does not usually match the 

color you get when applied to your hair. 

There are so many factors involved with 

effective hair color that it would take too 

long to discuss them here.

Jeremy Abraham, 

ing your hair acci-

dentally? 

I have seen a good cut and color last five 

weeks or more. The color schedule will 

depend upon how quickly your hair grows 

to cover the re-growth. A good haircut involves 

the right length, texture and pizazz 

you want and need to reduce your prep 

time and to look great every day. I know 

I am partial, but there is something to be 

said about relaxing and being pampered at 

a salon. Nothing gives a great stylist more

Last year, I talked about a program from 

Dominion East Ohio in which you can 

get a home energy audit (worth about 

$500) at virtually no cost. Well, nothing 

lasts forever. This program ends Dec. 31, 

so time is running out quickly. 

In review, here is what you get: 

Available in the Dominion East Ohio 

territory, GoodCents, a home-auditing 

company, will perform a three- to fourhour 

assessment of your home. The 

inspection will cost you only $50 and 

includes (if necessary): exterior and interior 

inspection, furnace inspection with 

combustion analysis, thermal imaging 

and a blower door test. Also included 

are: energy-saving shower head, kitchen 

and bathroom aerators, hot water tank 

pipe wrap, weatherstripping, door sweeps 

and high-priority air sealing. You will also 

receive a report with a list of measures 

recommended for your home. 



No-Cost Energy Audit Ends Soon 

Tom Olecki, owner, 

Broadview Heating 

Should you 

decide to complete 

the recommended 

home 

measures, you 

will be eligible 

for rebates of up 

to $1,250. The 

only requirement 

is that you must 

use a participat- 

ing contractor to perform the work. 

When the work is complete, a Good- 

Cents representative will return and 

complete a post-inspection to ensure the 

projects meet Home Performance with 

Energy Star and BPI (Building Performance 

Institute) standards. 

A sampling of the rebates include: up to 

$400 on a furnace; $30 on a thermostat; 

$150 on a water heater; 30 cents per 

square foot for insulation of walls, floor, 

attic or ducts; and $5 per window. 

Sponsored By

Once the audit is complete, even if you 

do nothing to improve your home’s efficiency, 

you will have the choice of a free 

carbon monoxide detector or a $50 postaudit 

rebate. Plus, you will know how to 

keep your energy costs as low as possible.

ily as a genetic predisposition (the pancreas 

does not produce enough insulin); type 

2 tends to point toward lifestyle choices 

such as diet, alcohol and sugar intake, 

exercise and weight management. The 

pancreas is either overburdened or not 

able to produce enough quality insulin. 

Both types can have serious overall 

health complications such as nerve damage 

(neuropathy), cardiovascular disease, 

kidney failure, blindness, periodontal 

disease, poor circulation and poor wound 

healing, which can lead to amputation. 

Biofeedback can help. Poor circulation 

is one of the greatest risk factors 

for people living with diabetes. In tests, 

biofeedback has been scientifically shown 

to increase peripheral blood flow. 

Biofeedback has long been known as 

an exceptionally effective intervention 

for neurological disorders. The neuropathy 

that accompanies diabetes is no 

exception. INDIGO biofeedback offers 

an excellent means of retraining nerval 

response and re-educating nerves back 

to a healthier state. 

The INDIGO uses mild, subtle, electrical 

currents to stimulate nerval response. 

This can have an enhancing effect on the 

overall function of the neurological and 

circulatory systems, two crucial factors 

in fighting diabetes. 

INDIGO biofeedback also has the 

unique ability to uncover how various 

specific emotions and stress reactions 

may be interfering with the utilization or 

process of insulin; thus educating clients 

to essential lifestyle changes which can 

have a huge impact on type 2 diabetes.
