From the Director
Looking back over the eight years it has been my pleasure to serve our neighborhood, I’m struck by not only by how much has changed, but how much has
stayed the same. During my 20 years as a resident of Kamm’s Corners, my lovely
next-door neighbor has been there the whole time. I still buy my meat and other
goodies at K&K Portage Market, and my newspaper is delivered by the same
family at the same time every day. I like that about our neighborhood. I suspect
your experience has been similar, and that you like it too.
Of course, things do change. Lots of positive change has come to Kamm’s Corners
over the past year or two, and more will follow. We have a fancy new streetscape,
complete with electrified and irrigated planter boxes, new benches, historic lighting, and the like. We have new businesses, including the new Marc’s, Panini’s,
and Si Senor Mexican Restaurant, with more on the way. Walk up and have a
look. If you haven’t seen our “downtown” lately, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
At KCDC, we’re much busier than we were eight years ago. This magazine is
much larger, partly in color, and now delivered four times a year. Our “Asphalt
Cinema” just completed its 6th season, and Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market
completed its third. Now we’re adding an indoor market. You can “friend” us on
Facebook, and follow our “tweets.” We’re re-habbing houses, renovating storefronts, buying buildings, making plans, and generally doing everything we can
to keep what’s great and to effect repairs where things are out of whack. We’ll
continue to do that and more.
Meanwhile, we need you to do your part. Spend as much of your money locally
as you can, especially this holiday season. Reward our merchants with your business. Take time to really think about the array of products available right here,
and put your money where your house is.
And, if you want to give us a boost, join us at “Wine in the Holidays,” our only
fundraiser of the year, at Puritas Nursery on December 3rd. (See article page 6.)
It’s a great party to get you into the holiday spirit, and you’ll see many of your
neighbors there.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff of Kamm’s Corners Development,
have a safe, happy, and meaningful holiday season. And as always, let us know
how we’re doing.
Our Cover: Our holiday cover photo this year, which we are sure everyone can relate to, is
an original composition by neighborhood resident and noted professional photographer,
Gary Yasaki, Yasaki Photographic. You can reach Gary at 216-781-7330.

Kudos to Monic Hill, the Executive

the selection committee felt that Monic
embodied potential qualities to become a successful leader in the YMCA
Movement. Only 13 candidates were selected nationally.

… by Councilman Marty Keane
News from Ward 21 and City Hall
Dear Neighbors:
Happy Holidays! May this issue of
Kamm’s Corners Magazine be the
start of a healthy and happy holiday
season.
The recent election came and
went with yet another strong
showing in our ward, soon to be
known as Ward 19. On January
4th, most of what was Ward 21
will be called Ward 19. We lost
some neighbors to the southeast
and gained others to the northeast.
Feel free to call me if you have any
questions on the redistricting. Simply
put, I am honored and blessed to
represent the neighborhoods I love
for another term in City Council,
whatever our ward number.
Looking back at last year’s holiday
magazine, I am amazed that the
groundbreaking for the Lorain
Avenue Streetscape was the cover
feature and occurred November 6,
2008. We have come a long way
since then. Our downtown Kamm’s
Corners is being reinvented. The
removal of the power lines alone
is a huge improvement. The
addition of new sidewalks, planters,
benches, and lighting will attract
more businesses and economic
development opportunities.
Of course, the new infrastructure
is an attraction to our community.
But, more importantly, the people
who call West Park home are the
real reason businesses locate here
– we who remain committed to
shopping locally and to maintaining
our properties. I can guarantee
you that the small business owners
along Lorain Avenue, Rocky River
Drive, and Warren Road – the shop
keepers at Warren Village and
Kamms Plaza shopping centers
will tell you the same thing. Our
commitment to our neighbors,
5
our neighborhood, and our local
merchants is the best way to assure
our long-term success.
Puritas Avenue re-surfacing is
nearly complete. Getting this project
done using our own capital dollars
in such a difficult economy was no
small feat! Thanks to everyone for
their patience during construction.
Please remember to maintain the
speed limit when the road is nice
and smooth and the barrels are
gone. Also, no matter what street
you live on, for safety’s sake, please
refrain from putting your leaves and
snow in the street.
Yes, we are making great progress
here and have the continued support
of Mayor Jackson. However,
the City of Cleveland as a whole
is facing some serious financial
challenges. A significant budgetary
shortfall looms in fiscal year 2010.
Though efficiency measures and
belt-tightening efforts by Mayor
Jackson and City Council to cut
costs while maintaining service has
left us in a much better position
than other cities, difficult decisions
remain. The draft budget for the
City is due in December followed
by the Mayor’s Estimated Budget
for 2010 in February. Those budget
exercises will determine what we are
up against and what we need to do
to thrive.
Perhaps I covered too much in
this little column. What I wish most
to say is Happy Holidays! God bless
you and your families, especially
during this wonderful time of year.
Cherish the things you have and
make any effort you can to help
those who have not.

Cecilia’s Song
Cecilia’s Song was founded in 2000 at Saint Joseph Academy for the
purpose of giving high school-aged girls an opportunity to sing challenging
four-part a cappella music for audiences throughout Greater Cleveland.
Named for the song sung by the Patron Saint of Music on the day she
died, Cecilia’s Song has performed at benefits, sporting events, and other
special occasions since their inception.

Streetscape
Improvement Project
Sees the Light!
The new light fixtures are up on
the north side of Lorain Avenue. Not
only do the lights look great, but they
also cast a pleasant white light on the
sidewalk and storefronts that brings
warmth to the street. It’s particularly
apparent when compared to the old
light fixtures remaining on the south
side. Crews will continue to work on
the lights and the removal of the old
poles and wiring for the next several
weeks. See a new light pole installation below.
Also, have you seen that our new
planters now have vegetation and
trees in them? Because streetscape
planners had the foresight to install
electric outlets in them, holiday lighting will be able to be installed on the
trees in years to come, making for a
festive “downtown” Kamm’s Corners!

Locally owned independent businesses return a great
deal back to the community. It’s called the multiplier effect: one dollar spent at a locally owned business comes
back to the community through city taxes, employee
wages, and contributions to local non-profit organizations.
So, please keep your money here in Kamm’s whenever
possible. You can grab an espresso at Savor the Moment
or Common Grounds, pick up some fresh fish at Seven
Seas Seafood, or get pet supplies at Kamm’s Plaza
Pet & Supply. Shop for unique gifts or services at any
number of local stores that add to the character that is
Kamm’s Corners. Each time you choose to spend your

Old West Park
Vault Discovered at

Robin Wieland, a 12 year West Park resident, combines not
so ordinary shapes and objects around our environment and
forms beautiful photographs of names. As an 18-year wedding
photographer, Robin got the idea early in her career, and has
collected a multitude of various shapes of letters she uses to
create custom made, unique personal art that people are excited
about and love to display. Robin’s creations are matted and
framed and she calls them Names in a Frame. This is a great
gift for weddings, anniversaries, new homes, store names, baby
names, holidays, specialty phrases, and occasions.
…by Gary Swilik
A vintage safe that once served the
independent City of West Park now
sits nearly forgotten at Cleveland City
Hall in the Treasurer’s office. How and
when the heavy vault was transported
eight miles from West Park to downtown Cleveland is a mystery.
After West Park was annexed to
Cleveland on November 7, 1922, its
public property, including the city
hall building, was turned over to
Cleveland. The safe, clearly labeled
“City of West Park,” may have been
moved to Cleveland at that time.
Names can be in black and white letters. You can do as many
as you like. The end product might take a different shape as
determined by the letters chosen. Several frame and matting
options are available. Prices start at $10 a letter and $25 for
the frame. If you have your own idea in mind, just let Robin
know and she will see what she can come up with! Call Robin
at 216-832-2581.
Names in a Frame by Robin Wieland
How badly did Cleveland need a
safe that someone was willing to haul
the heavy object all that way? It just
doesn’t seem like something you’d do
unless it was really necessary. There
must be an untold story behind the
move. If any readers can shed light on
it, please contact me at 216-252-9850.
In about 1977, when the police station moved to its present building on
West 130th, the old city hall was torn
down. An addition was added to the
fire station and now covers the original
site of the old city hall.
In any case, we’re lucky to have
discovered the safe still in existence.
The old vault is a significant relic of
West Park’s history but now serves
only to store office supplies. Perhaps
some way can be found to bring it
home where it can be put on public
display as a reminder of our heritage.
Councilman Martin J. Keane has been
exploring this possibility for the historical society.

Cartridge World Celebrates
4th Anniversary …by Josie ElBiry, Owner
We couldn’t have done it without a lot of
hard work, a dedicated staff, and especially
all of our loyal customers here in West Park
and all over Northeast Ohio.
Since we opened our Cartridge World
store here in West Park, we have made
many friends and watched our business
community grow, change, and become more
beautiful every year. We thank KCDC for its
dedicated work to Kamm’s Corners, and we
thank all of you for your dedication and patronage to Cartridge World at Kamms Plaza.
To show our appreciation, starting
December first, you can bring in this article
for a 10% discount on your next purchase of
refilled or remanufactured cartridges. Please
be sure to bring in your empties for exchange!
This offer is good until January 15, 2010.
Many thanks to our talented staff!
Katrina Catacutan has now been our
store manager for nearly four years. Her
knowledge and excellent customer service
has no doubt kept many of you coming back
to our store.
In 2009, Faye Catacutan and Tiffanie
Muscatello joined our staff as ink technicians. They have been a joy to work with,
and the kind of employees we need: positive
and quick learners!
Antonio Fuentes has been our laser
technician for three years. He has developed specialized skills in making sure the
remanufacture is correct for the dozens of
different laser toners we sell everyday.
Finally, many kudos to Anthony ElBiry,
my husband, partner, and our main driving
force here at Cartridge World. Cartridge
remanufacturing involves constantly technologies. Anthony spends countless hours
dissecting, studying, and testing cartridges.
He knows more about ink and laser printers
than anyone in our community. He is our
go-to source for accurate information!
We wish a Great Holiday Season, and
Happy New Year to all!

Marc’s Brings
Deep Discounts to
Kamm’s Corners
November 20th marked the opening
of Marc’s 55th Ohio store. Located
at 17400 Lorain Avenue, it fills the
former Rego’s space in Kamms Plaza
and is a welcome addition to the
neighborhood.
Marc’s new store features a large
selection of name brand grocery items,
a fully stocked produce department,
a fresh meat department, a cold cut
counter, as well as large selections of
name brand, high quality household
cleaners, housewares, paper goods,
stationery products, health and
beauty aids, pet foods and supplies,
and more – all at the lowest prices
in town.
As with all Marc’s stores, the new
location includes a large closeout
department with a wide range of
quality items at unbelievably low
prices. Closeouts feature everything
from electronics to tools at bargain
basement prices. The best approach
to shopping the closeout aisle is this:
if you see something you want, buy
it right away because nothing stays
around very long in the closeout department. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
The new store’s food, dairy, and frozen food departments stock the highest quality, name brand merchandise.
Marc’s full grocery and food selection
offers shoppers the most popular
name brands in the most popular
sizes and quantities. Because of the
tremendous amount of volume going
through the Marc’s chain of stores,
Marc’s is able to offer perishable items
like bread, chips, and cookies often
times lower than the manufacturer’s
suggested retail price.
Marc’s has grown to service the requests of its consumers and now offers
a wide variety of organic products including produce, dairy, and dry foods.
This store will be a cheese lover’s
paradise, too, with a new gourmet
cheese island displaying a wide array
of gourmet cheeses, spreads, dips, and
cheese wheels.
Kamm’s will also feature a cold
cut counter offering a variety of
fresh sliced lunch meats to order, sub
sandwiches, party platters, gourmet
salads, and rotisserie chicken. And, to
make your sandwich complete, pick up
wonderful fresh breads and pastries
by Corbo’s Bakery from Little Italy.
The produce section always has a
premium selection of the finest fruits
and vegetables, along with a large
selection of organics available from
all over the world and from the finest
growers. Marc’s chooses its suppliers based on quality, freshness, and
price to assure the Marc’s shopper is
always bringing home the best in fresh
produce. Marc’s prides itself on keeping huge selections of fresh seasonal
produce all year long.
The fresh meat department features USDA Choice Beef, Amish
Valley Chicken, Honeysuckle Grade A
Turkey, and Farmland Extra Tender
Pork. The freshest selections of ground
sirloin, ground round, and ground
chuck are also offered.
Visit the fine selection of cosmetics
– name brands like Maybelline, Cover
Girl, New York Color, Sally Hansen,
and OPI. Look to the Marc’s cosmetic
aisle for all your makeup needs.
Pet lovers, be sure to browse the
large pet section as you will find a full
line of pet beds, carriers, food, treats,
and plenty of cat and dog toys. Be sure
to check out Doggie or Kitty Rewards
cat and dog treats. Profits from their
sales go to benefit animal protection
services in Ohio.
Marc’s takes cash, checks, Travelers
Checks, and Discover network credit
cards. An on-premise ATM machine is
located at the store for convenience.
The store also carries gift cards at
discounted prices.
Look for the discount pre-paid fuel
cards that Marc’s carries offering $.10
per gallon savings at the pump at over
1,400 Speedway gas stations. Cards
are available in $25, $50, and $100
denominations.
Marc’s Deeper Discount stores
are owned and operated by Marc
Glassman, Inc. This Northeast Ohio
owned and operated company is celebrating its 30th year. With fifty-five
Marc’s in Northeast Ohio and six Xpect
12
Discounts stores in New England,
the company is one of the largest regional deep discount drug chains in
the country.
The store’s General Manager is
Rob Cole, Assistant Managers Mike
McGraw and Ryan Cline; Customer
Service Manager Nora Hessler;
Closeout Supervisor Brett Snyder;
Produce Supervisor Mike Sokol;
Frozen Food Supervisor Renee Jacobs;
Meat Supervisor Karen Willrich; Cold
Cut Counter Supervisor Katie McCor;
Dairy Supervisor L.J. Usyk, and Office
Supervisor Crystal Root. All have
many years of retail experience and
look forward to serving the shoppers
of the Kamm’s Corners area.
Watch for the Marc’s ads online
at www.marcs.com and delivered
to your mailbox either Tuesday or
Wednesday. Ad copies are also available upon entrance to the store. You
can also follow Marc’s on twitter at
twitter.com/marcstores. Regular store
hours are Monday through Saturday
from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Marc’s is glad to join the many great
businesses at Kamm’s Corners. The
Marc’s Kamm’s store has come to town
to bring us a fun-filled, money saving,
complete shopping adventure!
Save St. Pat’s
Update
Parishioners are pursuing efforts
to save the church from being shuttered by Bishop Richard Lennon. The
Save St. Pat’s Committee along with
parishioners will continue to the next
phase of the appeal process, if the
Vatican does not answer favorably or
soon they will appeal to Rome again
via the Apostolic Signatura, which can
be likened to a type of Supreme Court
at the Vatican.
This step will require an Italian
canon advocate that is costly, however the St. Pat’s parishioners are
ready for the expenditure and the
necessary action to keep St. Patrick
Church open to continue to serve
the West Park community. West Park
residents can check out the website
www.stpatrickwp.org/savestpats for
updates and info on how to help.
West Park
United
Church
of Christ
Celebrates 150 Years
of Service to the West
Park Community
West Park United Church of
Christ, founded by nine people in
1859 in what was once known as
Rockport Township, has spent 2009
celebrating 150 years of service to
the Kamm’s Corners community
with a series of special events.
“Charter members of the church
included Benjamin Mastick and
Lavinia Triskett, names that continue to live on to this very day,”
observed Licensed Minister Jim
Furry, a 55-year member of the congregation, which is located at 3909
Rocky River Drive.
“West Park UCC has played a
central role in the history of this
area, serving as an anchor for
the community,” added Reverend
Lawrence Craig. The original plot of
land for the church was purchased
from the Nichols family in 1860 at
a cost of $75, with a church building
constructed a year later at a total
cost of $1,500. Since that time, the
church has undergone a number of
major renovations with the addition of an education building and
fellowship hall, which are used by a
variety of community service groups
throughout the area.
The 320-member congregation is
actively involved in the community
and has invested more than $100,000
in its church buildings and grounds
in recent years, installing a new
carillon, replacing an antiquated
boiler system, upgrading the sound
system in its sanctuary, and renovating Bartter Hall, which at one time
hosted the West Park Kiwanis Club
meetings.
However, the congregation’s
ongoing investment in its grounds
and buildings are only part of the
story. “West Park UCC members
are actively involved in the mission
and ministry of Christ. This is emphasized in the church’s outreach efforts
throughout the Kamm’s Corners
area,” observes Reverend Craig, who
was called to lead the church in 1998.
“Our members have volunteered
more than 30,000 hours at Fairview
Hospital and donated more than 2,000
hours to Meals on Wheels,” he said.
“Others in our congregation have been
tutors and aides at Valley View, Almira
and Newton D. Baker schools, and we
house a highly regarded pre-school
called Discovery World. West Park
United Church of Christ is more than
buildings. It is people, people committed to the ministry and mission of
Jesus Christ by serving others in the
West Park area.”
As part of its 150 years of service
to the community, West Park United
Church of Christ held a community
concert on Saturday, June 27th and
organized a special 150th Anniversary
church service at 10:00 a.m. on June
28th. A gala dinner party took place
on September 26th at the Holy Spirit
Party Center that included an awards
program, music, and dancing. KCDC
was pleased to present a special plaque
in recognition of this milestone.
To learn more about West Park UCC
and its outreach efforts, call 216-6717228 or visit www.westparkucc.org.

The Iron Asylum
training could
be in a facility
that emphasized
the basics
rather
than fluff
and frills.
Just plenty
of space
and weights
to get the job
done combined
with a welcoming and attentive
staff.
Communicating a big
vision requires a powerful
image and during his first year
of business Tom was never happy just
continuing with the Pro Fitness name
and look. He knew what he wanted, but
couldn’t quite put it into words and images himself. Fortunately, he found just
what he was looking for when he met
Jerry Beck in March of this year.
Not only was Jerry a hard core
strength athlete who very much “got”
the concepts that Tom was trying to
convey, he was also a very talented artist
who had already created an apparel line
around the Iron Asylum concept which
he originated.
As a synergistic result of their meeting,
Jerry became part of Tom’s team and Pro
Fitness became the Iron Asylum, complete with a full service, on site, custom
screen printing operation.
“It was a total transformation,” Tom
recalls. “We not only had great new logo
art and access to Jerry’s Iron Asylum line
of apparel, but we continued to improve
our equipment and services.”
The results of the
efforts of Tom and
his staff are obvious.
Just consider that
the Iron Asylum now
features:
…by Joe Outlaw
Where the Weak Become Strong
Lifetime neighborhood resident Tom
Slomka, known as “TJ” to his friends,
has always been engaged in sports and
fitness. He grew up on Westdale and currently lives on Woodbury. A Saint Ed’s
grad, he played football in high school.
He has always been part of the Kamm’s
Corners neighborhood.
When he was in his early twenties
Tom began to think seriously about
opening a gym. He had worked out at
Black’s Health World at 120th and Lorain
Avenue and had seen world class strength
athletes, professional sports figures, and
average people alike benefit from a “hard
core” motivational environment.
After Black’s closed, Tom tried several
of the major new fitness chains, but
none of them completely fit his personal
requirements for a fitness lifestyle. He
knew if he were patient, an opportunity
would come his way to open a facility of
his own and run it in accordance with his
vision of what a gym should be.
Tom’s opportunity came in March of
2008 when he took over Pro Fitness at
16602 Lorain Avenue. This at long last
put him in the business of fitness and
gave him a chance to evolve his dream.
“I knew what turned me off at some
of the big chains. I vowed I would not
engage in strong arm sales tactics,” Tom
stated. “I wanted to run my gym by the
Golden Rule and treat my members as I
would want to be treated myself.”
Equally important, Tom wanted to
present a “hard core” gym experience
that everyone could relate to. He knew
from personal experience how successful
Iron Asylum owner Tom Slomka with staff members AFAA Certified Trainer
Kandy Ridinger, Meghan McCarthy, Sarah Ochall, and Jerry Beck.

Iron Asylum concept originator and artist Jerry Beck
silk screens apparel on site at the Iron Asylum.
One of the things that really bothered
Tom about the big chains was their
payment and collection policies. “Some
facilities today actually require you to
pay with an ATM card on file and you
must authorize automatic debits,” Tom
relates. “And heaven help you when you
want to stop the deductions. It can be
quite inconvenient.”
At Iron Asylum you can pay by the
visit, monthly, quarterly, biannually, or
annually. Family, senior, and student
special rates are available. Rates start
at $25 per month and major credit cards
are accepted. Though you can arrange
to pay by automated debit, there are no
contracts and you can stop payments at
any time. “We are not about sales people
trying to up-sell you or tying you in to a
restrictive contract.” Tom emphasizes.
Tom realizes some people may have
misinterpreted one of their slogans –
“There is no place for the weak here.”– or
the “hard core” image they portray.
“It’s actually a bit ironic, because this
is THE place for the weak,” says Tom.
“Our intent was to convey that anyone
– men and women, the young and the
old, beginner and advanced lifters – can
become stronger and more fit here. And
we have great cardio, too. The whole idea
of a no frills, hard core gym is to motivate
and surround our members with success
and enthusiasm rather than confusing
electronic devices and sales hype.”
A great selection of equipment, motivation, and a very welcoming, supportive
environment are exactly what you will
find at the Iron Asylum!

Unleash the Power of
Social Media Marketing
“Everyday, thousands of businesses
are missing out on the best marketing
opportunity since the invention of the
coupon.” So says Bobbie Beach, owner
of Right Hand Right Click and certified Social Media Marketing specialist.
Social media like Twitter, Facebook,
and LinkedIn are creating a never before seen opportunity for businesses.
For the first time ever, advertising to
the masses is free. For small business
owners and entrepreneurs, taking advantage of Social Media Marketing is
a must for the 21st Century.
A well-designed Social Media campaign should be the cornerstone of
advertising for every business today.
From Internet-based outlets to brick
and mortar storefronts, effective Social
Media marketing drives traffic. You can
reach millions of people with your product or service offer. “But for many small
business owners, the idea of learning
how to use Social Media Marketing is
overwhelming,” says Bobbie.
According to statistics, Facebook
alone grew to 300 million active users
already this year. Their fastest growing demographic is those 35 years and
older. And 50% of their active users
log on any given day. Social Media
Marketing, done correctly, has the ability to propel a once unknown company
into global awareness within a short
amount of time.
Right Hand Right Click, LLC, a West
Park Virtual Assistant Company, is offering classes to teach entrepreneurs
and small business owners how to unlock the code and unleash the power of
Social Media Marketing. In a two-hour
class, business owners can learn the basics of the three major social networking sites. “Before you know it, you will
be thinking in terms of ‘content rich
key word profiles’, strategizing social
media activities to define your brand,
and using quality content to build a
stronger customer base.”
“Social media is taking off like a
rocket. Businesses need to hop on
board or prepared to be left behind,”
says Bobbie.
Call now for information about
the next class. Contact Bobbie
Beach of Right Hand Right Click at
216-941-0941.

Kids and Furniture
Fill Long Vacant
Building
…by Cindy Janis
What do a day care center and a
furniture store have in common? They
both are new businesses occupying the
former Goodwill store in Downtown
Kamm’s Corners. Future Kids Day
Care Activity Center, at 16940 Lorain
Avenue, and Payless Furniture, at
16950 Lorain Avenue, have brought
the long vacant building back to life.
The City of Cleveland Storefront
Renovation Program (SRP) provided design assistance and a 40%
rebate up to a maximum of $3,000
for tenant signage and awnings
for each business. Tim Barrett,
Design Specialist with the SRP,
designed the unique signage for
the businesses. In addition, a new
storefront entrance was installed
for the furniture store. Missing
storefront windows and bulkhead
tiles were restored to match the
colors and pattern of the original
design, and the building received a
fresh coat of paint.
The day care signage is shown
in two sections. Different colored
letters spelling Future Kids were
painted across a yellow awning with
lines to represent tablet paper, while
Day Care Activity Center is shown
on a chalk board below, including
a piece of chalk. The two wedges
projecting from the building were
transformed into a box of crayons and
a box of chalk, with different colors of
crayons and chalk extending out of
the box tops.
The Payless Furniture sign was
designed in layers to add depth and
shadows. Burgundy squares and rectangles were attached to the charcoal
sign panel. Then gold letters outlined
in black were pin mounted to project
beyond the squares and rectangles.
Future Kids Day Care Activity
Center opened on October 1st, and
already has an enrollment of 70 children. The 9,150 square foot facility is
divided into large, colorful rooms for
different age groups.
“Our goal is to provide quality, loving
care for children in a clean, creative,
and safe environment,” said owner
Jamila Jabr. “We treat the children
like they are our own, and we want
them to feel at home. We’ve received
many positive comments from parents
about the center and the professional
teachers.”
Certified day care teachers speaking
English, Spanish, and Arabic provide
care for children ages six weeks to
fourteen years, including special needs
children. Teachers direct activities for
each age group including fine motor
skills, story time, games, music, and
art. Also, reading, writing, math,
Spanish, and computer instruction is
available.
The day care van, painted with the
colorful signage, transports children to
and from school. And, teachers provide
homework assistance after school.
23
“We love our sign,” said Jamila.
“It’s not like any other sign, and our
center is very visible. People stop by
all the time and take pictures. We are
happy to be in Downtown Kamm’s
Corners, and couldn’t have found a
better location.”
Future Kids Day Care Activity
Center is open 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Monday through Friday, and provides
breakfast, lunch, and a snack. For
enrollment information please visit
futurekidsdaycare.com or call 216941-5990.
Payless Furniture offers a variety
of furniture styles from traditional
to contemporary at competitive
prices. The furniture is displayed in
room settings throughout the 3,000
square foot showroom, including
living room, dining room, kitchen,
and bedroom.
“Customers like our prices and
styles of furniture,” said owner
Bachar Seoud. “They’re happy to
have a furniture store open in the
neighborhood again.”
The store includes a selection of
home furnishings such as floor and
table lamps, area rugs, and LCD
flat screen TV’s. Also, custom-made
drapery service and installation is
available with a selection of Italian
fabrics.
“All the improvements with the
street and buildings are encouraging for new businesses, and present a safe image,” said Bachar.
“We’re happy to be a new business in
Downtown Kamm’s Corners.”
Payless Furniture offers free
delivery in the Kamm’s Corners
neighborhood, and a 10% discount
to firefighters and police officers.
Visit the store from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Monday through Saturday, and 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Please call
216-251-9300 for more information
and sale updates.
KCDC congratulates Future Kids
Day Care Activity Center and Payless
Furniture on their outstanding renovation, and for bringing a long vacant
building back to life. Welcome to
Downtown Kamm’s Corners!

West Park
Discovery World
Makes A Child’s
Day Bright
…by Marilyn Osborne
When children are asked, “What did
you do today?” the most common reply
is, “Nothing.” That’s because boiling
all activities down to one response is
hard for kids (and even grown ups)
to do. What a child may want to say
is, “My day was filled with activity. I
learned about dinosaurs. I played on
the swings. I made pretend reindeer
food with oatmeal and glitter. I ate all
my lunch, and I fell right to sleep at
nap time.”
To keep parents informed and foster
meaningful conversations, every child
in the full day program at West Park
Discovery World goes home at the end
of each day with a summary sheet reporting what he or she did, including
general mood, what was eaten, what
the theme of the day covered, and
anything of special note the teachers
feel a mom or dad might want to know.
Owners/Administrators Nora Litchney (left) and
Gayle Kovach also teach at West Park Discovery World

thrive on structure - in knowing what
they are doing and when.” She and her
husband particularly appreciate the

“Mr. Ted” for 30 minutes once a week.
The program familiarizes the children

Nichole Griwatch’s 5-year old
daughter Alivia has been attending
Discovery World for three years. “I
like the year-round education my
daughter receives and the small class
sizes. Teachers know the children well
– and they make a point to know the
parents, too. I feel comfortable calling the school for advice about Alivia
– she’s my only child and I welcome
their experience and knowledge.” Mrs.
Griwatch said she is happy with her
daughter’s progress. “Alivia is doing
addition and subtraction already.
She’s very bright, and with my working schedule, she would not be where
she is if not for Discovery World.”
In addition to the accolades above,
all the parents mentioned the special activities that include parental
involvement such as Dads & Donuts
Day in March, where the children
bring their dads or other male relative for a donut breakfast and arts &
crafts on a Saturday morning. “My
husband and son made a handprint
wall hook last time, and that’s where
my husband now hangs his hat,” said
Mrs. Kemer. Monthly newsletters announce events planned by the staff
and parent volunteers. And, at each
class’s entranceway, the day’s activities are posted, including songs to be
sung, books to be read, snacks to be
served, and the theme of the day, which
are aligned to Ohio’s Early Learning
Content Standards.
“High quality preschool has always
been a top goal, which is why we pursued and achieved our 3 Star Rating
and our National Accreditation,”
said Nora. All the lead teachers at
Discovery World have advanced degrees in education. Most have been
with the school for many years and
have seen many little graduation ceremonies as their pupils moved on to
excel in primary school and beyond.

Fairview Hospital
Pain Management:
Helping You Turn Your Back on Pain
It might be a sudden, sharp pain that
strikes without warning, or it could
be a nagging pain that increases over
time. Either way, you aren’t alone.
Back pain affects 80 percent of us at
some point during our lives, according
to the National Institutes of Health.
If pain limits your activity in any way,
the first step in pain management is to
see your doctor, says Adel Zakari, MD,
interventional pain management specialist at Fairview Hospital. “If back pain
is severe, therapies like medication and
physical therapy may not adequately
control the pain,” says Dr. Zakari.
“Combining interventional therapies
with physical therapy and medications
tends to have the best results.”
Interventional therapy is tailored
to the patient’s needs and can include
the following:
• Trigger point injections aid in the treatment of
pain resulting from muscle spasm or strain.
• Epidural steroid injections help control the
pain originating from spinal stenosis, which
is a narrowing of the spinal canal, disc pain
and pain resulting from nerve compromise
(neuropathic pain).
Joint injections help control arthritis pain, including injections for the
facet joints (small joints in the lower
back), and the sacroiliac joint, which
connects the tail bone to the hip bone.
In addition to these interventions,
radiofrequency ablation can be used for
long-term pain control. In this procedure,
an electrical current produced by a radio
wave heats the nerve tissue and disrupts
its ability to send the pain signals. This
safe procedure is only targeted toward
the pain transmitting nerves.
For patients with severe chronic
pain, especially those with complex
regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy or RSD), or pain persisting after spine surgery, spinal cord
stimulation (SCS) may be an option.
SCS is a two-phase process, Dr.
Zakari says, the first of which is a
trial. During this simple, outpatient
procedure, a fine wire is inserted next
to the spinal cord without making any
incisions. The wire is connected to an
external device transmitting electrical
pulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain
signal transmission.
25
“If during this test phase, the patient feels the therapy is improving
his or her quality of life, we move to
the second phase,” Dr. Zakari says.
The second phase is a minor surgical
procedure, where the physician implants the device, which resembles a
pacemaker, and the leads into the body.
The best therapy will vary by patient, Dr. Zakari explains. “Every patient is different,” he says. “We start
with the simplest therapy and work
to find the best treatment possible.”

Center at Fairview Hospital can

Hello, had a chance to read
“Kamm’s Corners Magazine”
Summer 2009. Well written
article on the Setta Trophy
business and family by Marilyn
Osborne. I thought you might
like to have a story of my experience with these nice folks.
I came back from Iraq in 2006
after serving with the US
Army. My soldiers presented
me with a statuette as we were
re-deploying back to the USA,
but didn’t have the time to get
it engraved. So I brought the
statuette and plaque to Setta
Trophy and asked if they could
engrave the plaque and mount
it. I believe I dealt with Scott.
I returned to pick up the statuette a few days later and was
very happy with the work. Scott
bagged the item and gave it to
me. I asked what the charge
was and he said “You’ve paid
enough, we can’t charge you
anything.” Many family members and friends welcomed me
back to the USA, but that was
the “welcome home” I’ll remember most many years from now.
The Setta family doesn’t know
me and didn’t sell me anything
and couldn’t make a profit
from me, but were as kind and
considerate as if I was a family
member. Please ask your readers to bring them any and all
of their business. They’re the
genuine article: warm, caring
people. Not a big-box chain
store! And say thanks from me,
again!
your Snow Removal!
