SJMC Volunteer Celebrates the Spirit of Care

“If you are able to do it, volunteer.”Say hello to Pat Carlin, volunteer in the Mail Room at

St. John Medical Center in Westlake.Pat loves it there. He’s been part of the hospital family

since he started out as an Environmental Services employee at the old BayView Hospital in Bay Village back in 1967.

“I used to push one of those big gray carts around,” Pat said with a smile in the SJMC cafeteria last week.

He never let the fact that he has Cerebral Palsy get in the way of his work.

The Bay Village Board of Education has voted unanimously to put a 5.9 mill operating levy on the November 8 election ballot. It is a new levy. It will raise property taxes.

The levy will generate an estimated $3.1 million in additional revenue annually for the school district. The district currently runs on a $33.2 million/year budget.

How much will it cost you if you are a Bay Village property owner?

For a $200,000 home, the increase is $413/year, and for a $250,000 home it is $516.25/year.

Bay School Levy Will Raise Taxes

Avon High School’s Homecoming Queen Madeleine Hapanowicz and King Xavier Holmes were crowned in

ceremonies preceding the Eagles big win over Westlake last Friday evening. Both are seniors at AHS.

Fall RoyaltyNothing captures the spirit of the season like

Homecoming. Crisp fall nights, the popping of pads as football teams take the field and the drum beat rhythms of marching bands all add up to a create a special time of year.

Westlake Homecoming is this weekend. Amazon Jungle is the theme of this year’s parade, which steps off from LBMS at 5:30 and heads to UH SJMC Stadium at the high school. Westlake takes on invading Midview at 7 p.m. following the 6:30 Rose Arch ceremony. Check out the Demon gridders this year - they are playing some good ball!

The Bay High School PTSA is sponsoring a Homecoming Cookout on Friday, October 7th. Look for them just inside the Bay High entrance immediately

SJMC Volunteer Celebrates the Spirit of Care

But, when he retired in 2014 and decided to continue on as a volunteer, he traded in his push cart for a mail wagon.

“I deliver the mail to Buildings 2 and 3 and I stamp the mail to go out that day in the mail room,” he said.

Pat started at the old BayView Hospital three days after his 20th birthday. Little did this graduate of Brookside High know that he would be making a career of it.

It didn’t take him long to decide to come back as a volunteer. “Now, if it snows, at least I don’t have to come in,” he laughs. “My friends are here. I could go and walk around Walmart all day, but this is the place where I know people.”

Pat volunteers three days a week. He lives at home in the Sheffield house he grew up in. “It is the same house my dad owned, but a neighbor bought it. So I rent my dad’s old home,” Pat, 68, says with another laugh. “I started paying my rent there the day I was born!”

Pat’s spirit of volunteerism is well-appreciated by his associates.“Pat has been a wonderful asset to our volunteer program since May of 2014,” says

SJMC Volunteer Coordinator Penny Evans. “We were pleased that he wanted to return after he retired from St. John’s to become a volunteer.

“His assistance is greatly appreciated by our mail room department. He is an excellent volunteer. Pat enjoys people and is an inspiration to all who have the privilege to know him.”

“Pat works with me in the mailroom 3 days a week even though he does not have to,” reports Angela Steers. “He has been huge help to me with all that he has taken on, I would be lost without him.”

“Pat has been with St. John Medical Center since it opened in 1981,” adds another as-sociate, Adam Mihalic. “Pat has been loyal to the hospital and the community. When he retired, he wanted to come back and continue to help with the mission of the Hospital. Pat is a great guy and is always looking to help and better St. John Medical Center.”

As for Pat, he isn’t one to take these testimonials too seriously. “Some people made fun and said I came back because I couldn’t live without them,” he laughs. “But if you want something to do and you are able to to do it, be a volunteer. You can come back and see all your old friends. You can go to the cafeteria and eat and drink with them, talk with them. And, because you are a volunteer, you can get drinks for half price!”

“Pat enjoys people and is an inspiration to all who have the privilege to know him,” adds Evans. “Thank you Pat for your dedication to UH St. John Medical Center.”

Pat has now volunteered 1,150 hours at UH St. John Medical Center.

Turn Back TimeWilliam Patrick Carlin is one of about 10 associates who have been with St. John Med-

ical Center from its transition from the old BayView Hospital in Bay Village and St. John Hospital in Cleveland. Pat thinks he has been there the longest, and he shares some photos of the the old BayView and also a rendering of a proposed expansion of BayView that the state rejected, leading to the formation of St. John Westshore Hospital.

I am always amazed at people who are meticu-lous at taking care of some of their belongings. For example, I know someone who collects cars. He owns, at any time, between 15 and 20 cars. He literally spends many of his waking moments taking care of these cars. Some he hasn’t driven in months! Each car will get its oil changed every three months or 3000 miles, whether they need it or not. He is constantly polishing and waxing these cars and will not tolerate even the slightest amount of dust to land on his precious vehicles.

I know someone who loves fish and has a number of fish tanks. He spends most of his waking moments feed-ing the fish, cleaning the tanks, and making sure that the water is perfect for his precious little babies. He’ll make sure that the eco-environment with the tank is exactly the way it would be if these fish were in their natural habitat. You could literally eat off of these fish tanks because they are so clean.

However, both of these gentlemen, when it comes to their mouths, don’t nearly do the job that they do on their hobbies. This is something that always amazes me about us human beings. We can be so meticulous and clean in one area of our lives and then totally ignore another area.

If these two fellows that I mentioned above took care of their mouths as well as they took care of their hobbies,

they would still have all of their teeth today. Instead, both of these gentlemen have to rely on false teeth to try to chew their food and grin a big smile. Had they just taken some of the time and some of the money to ensure their teeth were as healthy as their cars and their fish, then they would have had a much better quality of life with their natural teeth intact.

The Mayo Clinic has a study that shows people with their natural teeth will live an estimated 10 years longer than people without their teeth. Isn’t proper dental care worth investing in or as your new hobby?

You can’t smile with your fish tank and you can’t chew with your cars. You can take a little time and effort to make sure that your teeth will last a long time so that you will have a big, healthy smile that will allow you to chew and smile naturally, and consequently enjoy all aspects of life, including your hobbies. We can help you do that. Call today for a free consultation at 440-892-1810. We’re here to help you smile.

Bay BeatBay Library Discussed: On the agenda of the

Cuyahoga County Public Library this week (Sept. 27) was the Bay Village Branch on the agenda as a discussion top-ic for its Capital Committee Meeting at the Parma-Snow Branch.

Last spring, CCPL looked at building a new Bay Vil-lage branch in Huntington Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. The Metroparks have since pulled out of dis-cussions.

The Library has $8 million set aside for a Bay Village Branch improvement.

Possible locales for a new library in Bay Village or a branch renovation include:

• A move to Cahoon Park, where a new library foot-print would be developed.

• A renovation and addition to the existing library at its present location behind the Middle School.

• A new library at the existing site at the present loca-tion, possibly including a new build on the existing parking lot.

What would a move to Cahoon Park mean to Bay? Possibly a loss of trees or soccer fields. Would it be permit-ted under terms of the Cahoon Will? Probably yes. The will calls for the park to have a library. The provision is cur-

rently being met by the archival library of historic books at Rose Hill Museum and Osborn House.

If you have comments about this possible issue, let your Bay Village City Councilman know. Bay City Council members also serve as Cahoon Park Trustees, the managing body of the park.

The median home value in Bay Village is $222,100, according to the real estate website Zillo.

Schools claim the 5.9 mill levy is to cover increasing costs for utilities, sup-plies, salaries, transportation, etc. The millage level also reflects the addition of increased instructional technology support and foreign language instruction start-ing at the elementary school level.

For some Bay Village property owners, the question comes down to afford-ability. Can property taxpayers continue to bear the cost of excellence?

For one resident, Phil VanDrasik, state funding procedures are unfair. Why not change the state procedure for funding schools and relieve the one-sided bur-den that is placed on homeowners? That is the thrust of his citizen group, People Against Property Abuse.

“I am not against schools or the teachers,,” said VanDrasik last week. “But the way they are funded by the state needs to be changed. Over the life of a 15-year mortgage, it becomes a staggering number - $7,740 for a $250,000 home. And that number does not go away after the mortgage is paid. If you live in that house for 30 years, the number grows to over $15,000.”

“We were able to make our 2010 levy stretch to six years through conserva-tive management practices,” said Superintendent Clint Keener. “Lead time built into any levy cycle requires we ask for an increase well before we get far into spending down our reserve fund. We are at that time now. If the levy doesn’t pass Against the

Bay School Levy Will Raise Taxesthis year, we’d have to come back with a higher millage request next year to main-tain the same program. If we took it even closer to the end of our reserve fund, we’d be looking at some serious reductions.”

Bay property owners who love the schools but hate the state funding mecha-nism are once again in a bind. Common sense tells you the system will never change until it has to. And that will mean painful levy failures to force that change.

VanDrasik would like to see schools and voters push for other avenues of funding for schools, avenues that would relieve the one-sided burden on prop-erty owners. “Pennsylvania taxpayers have two issues on the ballot right now for state income tax and state employment tax,” he said. These options would spread school funding more equitably.

Huntington Playhouse: Cleveland Metroparks put out a Request for Information a few months ago, looking for pro-spective residents for the Huntington Playhouse locale. Re-ports have the Metroparks receiving ideas from four different agencies:

• Marigold Catering from Cleveland reportedly propos-es to build a replica carriage house structure on the site that could be booked for events - costs in the range of $600k-$1 m.

• BayARTS would like to expand arts programs there. No reported interested in theater arts, but more of what they are doing now. Estimated costs $250-950K.

• Bay Community Theater proposes to serve commu-nity theater interests and bring the old playhouse back up to code compliance for $150-200K.

• TruNorth Cultural Arts reports to have submitted in-terest in creating a flagship arts resource.

Community West Foundation Annual Meeting‘From Refugee to Neighbor’

‘From Refugee to Neighbor’ was the focus of the Com-munity West Foundation annual meeting hosted on Wed., Sept. 14 at Bay Presbyterian Church. “Unless you are a native American, all of our families have come to America from around the world and passed through New York harbor and seen the Statue of Liberty as she represents freedom and a new home,” said Community West Foundation President & CEO David T. Dombrowiak. The sentiments were shared by a trio of guest speakers who offered understanding for the refugee reality in America today. Speakers included Darren Hamm (former Executive Director at Refugee Response), Tom Mrosko (Executive Director, Catholic Charities Office of Migration & Refugee Service) and Brian Upton (Executive Director of Building Hope in the City. “It is more important than ever to welcome refugees into our hearts and communities - not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it is the loving, caring and compas-sionate thing to do,” said Dombrowiak.

Each of the three speakers offered a unique perspec-tive to the refugee reality. “Every day, around the world, ordinary people must flee their home for fear of death or persecution. Many leave carrying only what they can, knowing that they may never return home,” said Mr. Mrosko. “Once they cross an international border, they are called refugees.” 5 years is the amount of time a refugee must wait before applying for U.S citizenship. Mr. Upton dispelled several generalizations about ref-ugees. Refugees do better in Cleveland than the national average, supporting 1,000 jobs that otherwise go unfilled. They ameliorate the need for housing, goods and services in the region while adding $48 million in economic impact as well as cultural and ethnic diversity. Through the Refugee Services Collaborative of Greater Cleveland, 14 organizations have teamed to co-ordinate the resettlement-healthcare-education-support needs of refugees in northeast Ohio, added Mr. Hamm.


“It is our responsibility to welcome those suffering the most and when the world is in desperate need of humanitarian relief,” concluded Dombrowiak. “Our strategic plan at the Foundation is inspired by the words and message from the Gospel of Mat-thew 25:40: ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.’ Please learn more about the Refugee Experience at the Community West Foun-dation facebook site where you can link to the meeting presentations: www.Commu-nityWestFoundation.org.

Community West Foundation 2016 Community West Foundation continued its vibrant philanthropic presence on Cleveland’s west side on many fronts in the past year. An operational highlight came in the move of the Community West Foundation offices to 800 Sharon Drive in Westlake where they now rent their headquarters from Youth Challenge, thereby providing more support to their grant funding of Youth Challenge. Community West Foundation has also retained the services of Cleaning for a Cause for its office clean-ing. A portion of every cleaning benefits a local charity. “This supports our ‘Rising tide Floats All Boats,” said William Oatey, Chair of the Board, Community West Foundation. In giving $4.6 million in grants over the past year, Community West Foundation supports a wide range of philanthropic interests throughout the community. “In celebrating our work at Community West, we are really celebrating all of you,” said Oatey to the many guests at the annual meet-ing. “As donors, nonprofit partners, community leaders and volunteers, you are helping to make lasting, significant and meaningful contributions to impact our community, its people and the future.”

Advance tickets are available from your favorite Kiwanian, or you can email [email protected]. This year’s tickets are sponsored by McGorray-Hanna Funeral Homes.

“The Kiwanis Club of Bay Village, along with the Bay High Key Club, team up for the annual homecoming pan-cake breakfast to welcome fall back to Bay.

WEST SHORE BLUES: THE BEST Of THE BEaTS

Nursing Home Neglect and AbuseQ: I have good reason to believe my mother has been neglected by staff at the nursing home where she lives. Is there a law against this?A: Yes. In Ohio, it is a crime for anyone who owns, operates, administers, is employed by, or is an agent of a nursing home, group home, residential care facility, assisted living facility, adult care facility or hospital long-term care unit to abuse or neglect a resident of that facil-ity. In addition, the law allows a resident to bring a civil suit for money damages against the owner, operator, administrator, employee and/or agent of the nursing home for compensation.

Q: What constitutes abuse according to Ohio law?A: According to Ohio law, “abuse” includes “knowingly causing physical harm or recklessly causing serious physical harm” to a person through physical contact or the inappropriate use of physical or chemical restraint, medication or isolation. Care facility staff is not allowed to use restraint, medication or isolation to punish a patient or for staff convenience, as a substitute for treatment, or in ways that hinder rehabilitation or treatment.

The incident occurred in the 5300 block of W. 229 in Fairview Park. Po-lice were called on a report of a possible drug over-dose in a car. Upon arrival, the car was gone but a male was lying unconscious in the middle of the roadway. Officers administered two doses of Nalox-one to the 32 year old Rocky River male before he responded. He had been abandoned by the others in the car. He was taken to Fairview Hospital, investi-gation continuing to determine those responsible for leaving him there.

$30 Grand Found in Backpack

Bay Village Police responded to a call received by Westlake Police about an unknown problem taking place at Clague and Wolf Road on Sept. 22 at 1958 hours.

Bay Police were dispatched to the scene in response to the 911 call. They found a male in the area who appeared to be in crisis. The male was carrying two realistic-looking pellet guns and a small back pack with $30,000 in cash. The male was stating that terrorists were chasing him and wanted to kill him. He was transported to a local hos-pital for an evaluation.

Trespass Suspect Held at Gunpoint in WestlakeA 29 year old Westlake man was

seen rummaging through cars at a Bryandale Drive home on Sept. 9 when a 23 year old male resident caught him and held him at gun-point until officers arrived. The Paul Kersey Death Wish scenario played out further as the resident struck the suspect with a handgun during the confrontation, report Westlake Police.

The suspect received 4 stitches for a laceration before being jailed for Trespass, Theft, POM, and Drug Paraphernalia (pot pipe). He took sunglasses, headphones, and cash, report Police.

Serial Masquerade14 bank or credit accounts were opened using a

Lincoln Rd. man’s identity on May 31-June 1. All were subsequently closed as frauds. He reported the serial masquerades on Sept. 15. He is not out any money.

Grudge VandalThe rear window of a Pineview Drive man’s 2000

Honda minivan was broken out on Sept. 10. This was the fourth time in 6 years. The suspect turned out to be a 28yoa North Olmsted man whose father had a court case with the victim. The suspect admitted that he broke the window this time and three times previ-ously. He was arrested for Criminal Damage.

Dating Game MismatchThe second date fostered by an online multi-year

relationship ended badly for an intoxicated 33yoa Pepper Pike man. He was arrested for DCI after damaging the fixtures in a Clemens Rd. hotel room and scaring his heretofore virtual love interest (32yoa Cleveland woman).

BOGO BustA 55 year old Westlake woman female suspect

ran her own version of BOGO at a Detroit Rd. store. Staff suspected that she would steal a bottle of liquor each time she bought one. The latest incident took place on Sept. 11. Staff will henceforth refuse her business. Charges are pending.

Lockout Leads to Weed Bust

On 09/21/2016, at 1711hrs, a motorist called the station to request assistance with a vehicle lockout, be-cause he accidentally locked his keys inside his car at Cahoon Park. When the officer unlocked and opened his car door, a strong and distinct odor of marijuana emanated from the interior of the vehicle. The male operator admitted to having marijuana inside his car and the vehicle was searched. A small amount of marijuana and a marijuana pipe was located inside the car and confiscated. The male was cited for pos-session of marijuana.

Mystery AccidentOn 09/21/2016, at 0227hrs, a the station received

a call from Avon Lake PD reporting they received a phone call from a resident on Plymouth Drive in our city reporting a loud crashing sound. A search of the area found a fire hydrant had been struck by a vehicle with debris from the vehicle strewn on the roadway and tree lawn. A search of the surrounding could not locate the suspect vehicle.

Car vs. Signs in Westlake Wreck

An impaired 24 year old Westlake woman left a trail of damaged road signs behind her on Sept. 16. She hit them with her 1995 Toyota Corolla on I-90 in Rocky River and on Columbia Rd. in Bay Village.

She was found on First St. in Westlake and was arrested for OVI-Drugs. She refused to provide a urine sample for testing, but was able to urinate on the mattress and floor of her cell.

Bad Day for Browns FansA Toledo couple en route home via I-90 from the

Browns game on Sept.18 got into a squabble. The 23 yoa male got out of their car and the 21 yoa female drove along following him. A passing officer stopped to check on them; the female admitted hitting the male out of frustration and was arrested for DV and DUS. The male was found to be under the influence and was arrested for OVI after admitting that he had been driving when the tiff arose. He tested .082 by breath.

Landlord Breaks into Rental Home

A Bradley Rd. wom-an reported that her land-lord broke into her home on Sept. 17. He admit-ted as much, claiming that he was evicting her, but could not produce any legal paperwork to support that contention. Court records show one 2016 eviction was dis-missed and another is pending. Prosecutor to rule on possible Burglary charge.

Rumble

Fairview Police were called to Domino’s at 21154 Lorain Rd on a re-port of a fight. Upon arrival, a group of 5 juveniles and one of the employees were involved in a shouting match.

The problem arose over the refus-al of the employee to give out an application. Words were exchanged, the juveniles were asked to leave, but one refused. The employee chased him out and then a physical confrontation occurred, resulting in the juveniles piling on the employee and others kick-ing him. Video of the incident appeared to show it was mutual, the employee and one of the juveniles were charged with disorderly conduct.


Avon, Ohio

University Hospitals broke ground on a $32.4 million state-of-the-art outpatient health center and freestanding Emergency Department in North Ridgeville on September 27 with a projected completion date of late 2017.

The proposed 50,300-square-foot ambulatory health center and freestanding emer-gency department will sit on more than 30 acres of land highly visible from I-480, I-80/Ohio Turnpike and easily accessed from Route 10.

“The new UH North Ridgeville Health Center will allow us to meet the increased demand for outpatient services and provide primary and specialty care in the communi-ties surrounding UH Elyria Medical Center and UH St. John Medical Center,” said Donald Sheldon, MD, President of UH Community Hospitals West Region. “The planned new construction exemplifies our commitment to improving access to the highest quality care in an efficient patient-centered environment.”

Services in the building will include outpatient laboratory; primary and specialty care; UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s pediatric care; digestive health; radiology and retail pharmacy.

A major component of the new facility, a freestanding emergency department, will be operational 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The ED will be fully integrated medically and operationally with the UH system and provide leading-edge technology and imaging.

“We welcome University Hospitals. This is an exciting opportunity for significant and positive investments that will keep our community vibrant and healthy,” said North Rid-geville Mayor G. David Gillock. “As one of the most forward-thinking health care systems in the country, University Hospitals will provide extraordinary ben-efits to our community for years to come.”

“Residents in North Ridgeville, Elyria, Avon, Westlake and surrounding communities will have immediate access to life-saving technology and medical treatment,” adds Dr. Sheldon. “We will re-spond to heart and stroke emergencies with remote EKG monitoring and the latest clot-busting medica-tions. In addition, we can provide critical care trans-port for patients needing a higher level of care, such as interventional catheterization and hospitalization if necessary at UH Elyria Medical Center, UH St. John Medical Center or UH Case Medical Center.”

You care about your home looking its best. If your driveway and other concrete surfaces are dirty, curb appeal suffers. Even worse, unprotected concrete is much more susceptible to damage. During the winter season, the con-crete soaks up moisture. The moisture freezes and expands, and come spring, you are left with ugly cracks. There is a solution: Concrete cleaning and sealing from your local Perfect Power Wash.

Our certified technicians are the experts at beautifying and maintaining concrete surfaces all around your home: your driveway, patio, walkways, front porch and stoop. We use high pressure along with a cleanser to rid your concrete surfaces of all contaminants and then we finish with a deep penetrating, siloxane sealer.

The science of our process is truly in our sealer. Silox-ane has very little surface tension, so it is easily absorbed into concrete. Because it is highly flexible and aligns itself near the top of most porous surfaces, like concrete, siloxane

Clean and Seal Your Valuable Concrete Surfaces

is an ideal shield—it protects against dirt, water and other contaminants while also allowing the concrete to breathe.

At Perfect Power Wash, we put our expertise and pas-sion for power washing to work every day for our clients. We’ve washed more than 20,000,000 square feet of con-

crete! Let us clean, seal, and protect your home’s valuable concrete surfaces next.

The Senior Center that improved the most in their screening results would be the winner of the competition. To say that these walkers were competitive is an under-statement!!!

Health talks by UH SJMC health professionals, and healthy activities were offered weekly to keep everyone in the program motivated.

There were 2 walkers in the Million Step Club, each

walking over 1 million steps in the 6 week period. Collec-tively the participants walked a total of 23,127,650 steps, equal to approximately 10,951 miles. Each team had a win-ner or two in each category. The overall winning Senior Center was North Ridgeville, Team Wicked Walkers, and they lived up to their name.

Although each individual set personal goals, they were committed to helping their teams win.
