The annual Bay High School Athletic Hall of Fame induction and dinner brought those words to life the weekend of Sept. 3. Adding to the fun are two stories in today’s Villager submitted by former athletes of retired Bay Coaches Dick Scott and Joe Scaletta. The writers are former Bay running standout Rich Oldrieve and wrestler Bill Landers. Thanks to both for their contributions and their loyalty two a pair of great coaches who, like the others inducted, made an indelible mark on their studentathletes and community. Congratulations! FRONT PAGE PHOTO: The front page photo of the veteran with the American flag was taken at Cahoon Park in Bay at the Ken Henninger Memorial Service held last July. The pictured veteran is a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. The organization is a diverse amalgamation of riders with one thing in common besides motorcycles - an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security. Their main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that they are backing you. They honor and support you with every mission they carry out, and they are praying for a safe return home for all. YOUNG AND DUMB: We got a kick out of a conversation with former Bay wrestling coach Joe Scaletta, inducted into the Bay Athletic Hall of Fame this month. Joe kidded us about a story that ran when he was still new on the Bay coaching scene. “You asked if our goal was to win the conference championship,” recalled Joe of those long-ago days. “I said our goal was to win state, and you published it!” Joe said he took heat for the comment for a couple of years after making a statement so bold. “Young and dumb,” said Joe. Maybe so. But Joe did go on to capture Bay’s first state championship in any sport when the Rockets won the Ohio State wrestling crown back in the ‘70’s. After leaving wrestling, Joe went on to become a successful real estate developer. He built Avenbury Lakes in Avon and other well-known developments in the west shore. Young and dumb? Young, maybe. Dumb? Not if you can pull it off! After all, if you can do it, it ain’t braggin’! We hope you never get too old to dream big, Joe! Congratulations on your Bay Athletic Hall of Fame induction! REMEMBERING 911: Where were you when the world stopped turning? Singer Alan Jackson’s lyrics rang as truer than ever as the nation remembered the 9th anniversary of 9-11 last Saturday. Here they are again, bringing home the poignancy of the message as sung by the country star at his benefit concert hosted by All-Pro Freight Stadium in Avon this summer: Rem emb e 9-11 ring I’m just a singer of simple songs I’m not a real political man I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell you The difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us And the greatest is love Beginning Tues., Sept. 14, The Young Center for Stroke Rehabilitation at Rae-Ann Westlake will hold monthly meetings of its Stroke Support Group, designed to assist members of the community whose lives have been altered by stroke. Open to the public, the group will explore the physical, emotional, social and financial aspects of navigating the stroke rehabilitation process. The meetings are not only for stroke survivors themselves, but also for family members, friends and caregivers who are interested in finding ways to overcome common challenges that stroke victims face. “Having a safe place to share common experiences and learn from each other can be a huge step in the healing process,” shared Nadia VanHoose, MSW, who will be heading the group. The Young Center for Stroke Rehabilitation is a specialized unit at the RaeAnn Westlake Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility providing intensive, personalized rehabilitation to stroke victims in the crucial post-hospitalization period. The Stroke Support Group will meet the second Tuesday of each month from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. beginning September 14th. The Young Center is located at 28303 Detroit Road in Westlake.

That was really a trick question because summer is not really over until September 22. So, try to get outside and enjoy every last minute of summer and let’s hope for a beautiful fall. Whenever a patient has missing teeth, there are really four options that are available. The first option is to do nothing and leave them alone. For front teeth, this is really not an option for most people. The truth of the matter is, even for back teeth, most teeth should be replaced at some point because it will mess up your bite and then it really can create spaces in the front teeth in just a few short years. The second option would be to have some kind of removable denture. The advantage is that they are less costly than the next two options. The big disadvantage is that they can flip around and move as you talk and eat. Food routinely gets underneath the denture and needs to be cleaned out continuously. The third option would be some kind of a dental bridge that is a permanently cemented set of teeth that attach to teeth on either side of the empty space. The big advantage here is that they do not come out and can look and function like your own teeth. A disadvantage is that you have to incorporate the teeth on either side of the empty space and reshape them to accept a dental bridge. If these teeth normally would need crowns, then a bridge may be your best choice. If these are healthy teeth, then you may want to look at the next option. by Dr. Louis Malcmacher of The Healthy Smile The fourth option is a dental implant, which involves a surgical procedure to put a titanium post inside your jaw and then place a tooth on top of that. The advantage is that it only involves that single space and does not involve any other teeth and you have a tooth that looks and functions like a real tooth that stays in your mouth. The disadvantage is that it involves a surgical procedure and may be a little more costly, particularly depending upon how many implants you may need. This is a very simplified overview as there are other advantages and disadvantages with each of these options. What is most important is that the right choice needs to be made for you and your particular dental situation. I just saw a TV show with a little segment about dentistry where they talked about how implants are the best option for everyone. In my opinion, no single option is the best option for every patient – it depends upon you, which is why you need to go an experienced and qualified dentist who can help you make the right choices in terms of your life style and your budget for your dental needs. We are always doing free consultations in our office and we hope you will come and talk to us about your dental needs. Please call us at 440-892-1810 for an appointment. We are here to make you smile. Inherited IRAs and the Stretch Strategy By Chip Krueger at Stifel Nicolaus IRA holders generally name beneficiaries to inherit the assets in their various IRAs. Beneficiaries are required to eventually take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from an inherited IRA. The amount and payout period of the RMDs after the original IRA holder’s death, depends on who is designated as the IRA beneficiary(ies) and his or her age at the time of the IRA holder’s death. Below we take a look at some of the rules for inheriting IRAs and stretching the payouts. Inheriting an IRA If a spouse is named as the primary beneficiary of an IRA, they have the fol- lowing options after the holder’s death: • Lump-sum distribution • Establish a beneficiary IRA account and eventually begin RMDs • Deplete the entire balance before the end of the fifth year following the year of the IRA holder’s death (available if the IRA holder had not started RMDs, i.e., died before age 70½, or the inherited IRA is a Roth IRA) • Roll the assets into his or her own IRA (and name his or her own beneficiaries) Continued on page 5 The Villager welcomes letters to the Editor as well as news items.

All rights reserved Page 5 - THE VILLAGER - September 16 - 22, 2010 Joe Scaletta: Bay High Hall of Fame By Bill Landers It was a busy weekend in Bay the first weekend in September as the Bay Rockets football team hosted the visiting Westlake Demons. It was an early homecoming of sorts as the Bay High Sports Hall of Fame inducted six athletes, three coaches, and two outstanding teams. One of the coaches inducted was former wrestling coach Joe Scaletta. Scaletta coached the grappling Rockets from 1971 – 79. During his tenure as head coach he recorded Bay High School’s first state championship team in any sport with the 1971-1972 Rockets. Bay had two individual state champions that year in Jeff Schoeneman (132lbs.) and Mark Totten (HWY). Scaletta’s 1975-1976 squad was also full of outstanding wrestlers. That team tied an SWC mark with six SWC Champions. Four of Scaletta’s wrestlers placed at the state tournament including Mike DeAnna (167lbs) winning his third state crown. This talented team ended up being the state runner up. The weekend began with a meet and greet for all the inductees at the Bay Lodge on Friday before the game. Half of the Hall of Fame Class was introduced between the 1st and 2nd quarter and the second half of the class between the 3rd and 4th quarter of the football game. Following the football game the wrestlers held a reunion at Quaker Steak for their former coach. Close to 100 people packed the private room to honor Joe. Former Ohio University wrestling coach, Harry Houska, was one of the many wrestling greats in the room. The room was filled with a Who’s Who from the wrestling world. Joe was also presented a Memory Book that contained letters and photos Continued on page 7 Joe Scaletta (second row, center), surrounded by his former Bay High wrestlers, at a Hall of Fame reception last week. Inherited IRAs and the Stretch Strategy New O wnersh ip Continued from page 4 A rollover is the most popular choice, as it could possibly stop or slow RMDs that were currently being taken by the now deceased IRA holder. When the spouse beneficiary turns 70½, RMDs must begin using the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table to determine payouts. After the spouse beneficiary’s death, the assets pass to his or her own designated beneficiaries. A non-spouse beneficiary who inherits an IRA does not have the rollover option. However, the following options are available: • Lump-sum distribution • Deplete the entire balance before the end of the fifth year following the year of the IRA holder’s death (available if the IRA holder had not started RMDs, i.e., died before age 70½, or the inherited IRA is a Roth IRA) • RMDs based on their own life expectancy, determined by referencing the IRS Single Life Expectancy Table Stretching an IRA To “stretch” is a strategy to distribute the IRA assets well beyond the lifetime of the person who established the IRA. In order to do this, after the holder’s death: 1. The designated beneficiary(ies) chooses to take RMDs based on his or her own single life expectancy and must begin by December 31 of the year following the IRA holder’s death. 2. Upon inheriting the IRA, the beneficiary is allowed to name his or her own beneficiary(ies) through a designation of beneficiary form, if the IRA custodian permits. 3. If the beneficiary of the inherited IRA dies before reaching his or her full life expectancy, the IRA assets can continue to be paid to the next beneficiary over the remaining distribution period of the deceased beneficiary. As an example, an individual who is age 70½ names a grandchild who is 15 years old as a beneficiary. While the IRA holder is alive, the RMDs are paid over a 27.4-year period (Uniform Lifetime Table factor). After five years, the IRA holder dies. The beneficiary, who is now 20, must continue to take RMDs in the year following the IRA holder’s death. However, the payments will now be based on the grandchild’s own single life expectancy factor, which is 62.1 years (IRS Single Life Expectancy Table) for someone age 21. And, if the tax laws don’t change, the 62.1 years is a guaranteed payout period to the beneficiary or to the beneficiary’s named beneficiary(ies).

No room poses a bigger threat to safety for the elderly than the bathroom. The greatest danger is slipping and falling when entering and exiting the bathtub, which contributes to nearly 25% of hospital admissions for people age 65 and older. The Easy Step™ by Miracle Method, increases bathroom safety by creating a 24" by 9" opening, allowing the user to step through, not over the tub. “It’s not uncommon for an elderly person to lose their balance when lifting their leg over a tub,” according to Andrew Gorski, owner of Miracle Method of Cleveland. The Easy Step™, along with installation of safety grab bars and slip resistant surfaces, greatly reduces the risk of slip and fall accidents. An affordable solution, the Easy Step™ costs a frac- tion of expensive walk in bathtubs and takes only one day to install. Walk in tubs typically require tearing out the old bathtub, removing walls, and performing extensive plumbing modifications. In addition, walk in tubs use significant amounts of water and take time to fill and empty while the user waits in the tub. “What care givers really like about the Easy Step™ is its simplicity and the speed in which we can make the installation,” says Gorski. “A homeowner can be using their tub the same day we do the installation.” Miracle Method can also install safety grab bars, hand held shower nozzles, curved shower rods and even slip resistant tub surfaces. “Our goal,” according to Gorski, “is to provide a safer bathroom environ- ment for our elderly customers which will allow them to stay independent and live in their own homes longer.” “Another advantage to the Easy Step™ besides price over expensive walkin tubs, is that if the removed piece is saved,” says Gorski, “it can be replaced at a later date and you’ll never know the conversion had been made.” This is a welcome feature for family members who may be faced with eventually selling the house. Unlike major walkin or door tub installations, the ability to return the bathroom to normal makes the house easier to sell. “Nobody wants to buy a house that requires the expense and mess of removing a bulky walk-in bathtub that you don’t want or need”, adds Gorski. Gorski offers advice to senior citizens and their family caregivers looking for easier bathtub access. Avoid high-pressure sales people who won’t quote prices over the phone and always have someone with you to help you make the best decision for your situation. Avoid solutions that will not only cost thousands to install, but thousands to replace. Many Easy Step™ customers also use Miracle Method’s refinishing process to change the color of a dated tub and tile at the same time. “Having all the work done at once allows us to pass on cost savings. We realize that many of our elderly customers are on fixed incomes and we want to make this experience easy, timely and affordable,” says Gorski. A lifelong Cleveland resident, Gorski is committed to providing the highest quality work. His office not only offers the Easy Step™, but surface refinishing for bathtubs, tile, vanities and kitchen countertops, all with a five-year guarantee.

Over 40 of Joe’s family and former wrestlers were on hand to honor him Saturday night at the Induction Ceremony. Joe’s wife Leslie, daughter Jonelle and husband Tom, daughter Mandy with husband Matt, son Mike, daughter Giovanna, plus 2 grandsons were in the audience for the event. “It was nice to share this honor with my family,” stated Scaletta. “They were all very young at the time I coached and my kids don’t really remember it.” We know that his wife Leslie remembers Joe’s wrestling days because they met at a Joe Scaletta, Del Creps, Randy Nickel, Bruce Hosta and Bill Landers wrestling tournament 38 years ago. Also in attendance for Joe was his John Adams High school wrestling coach John Bianchi. Joe was introduced by Mike DeAnna. During his induction speech Joe thanked all those that made this possible for him. It was a great weekend to honor Joe Scaletta and the rest of the 2010 Bay High Athletic Hall of Fame inductees.

The 1999 girls’ soccer team was inducted for winning a state championship. Coach Gale Fisk told a humorous story of how the team tied Revere because the girls were distracted by that evening’s Homecoming Dance. He then told how the team proceeded to lose two more games and thereby the SWC championship. Gale then recounted his pep talk that for the first time in nine seasons the team could experience their first and last “cry” of the season at the end of October instead of at the Regional Final in November. Four-time state wrestling champion, Mike DeAnna, introduced Joe Scaletta, coach of two SWC conference championships, two sectional titles, two district titles, and the 1972 team that won Bay High’s first state championship in any sport. “The fact that Joe’s team was the first in any sport to win a state championship for Bay really puts the stamp on his career,” said DeAnna. “At that time, Bay was the smallest school in the divisional system used by Ohio in those days, so winning a state championship had a big impact on all sports at Bay High because it showed that a school our size could do it. Plus, Joe just totally outworked all other wrestling coaches. And not just during the regular season, but all year around. He was always driving kids to camps and practices.” Also inducted was the hockey team’s founding coach, H. Thomas Williams. “H” first convinced George Steinbrenner to purchase the team’s uniforms and then led the team to a couple of Baron Cup championships, a state final four, and 234 wins. Individual players that were inducted included: • Joy Aschenbrener Sweeney, Ohio’s girls’ soccer player of the year in 1995. • Marc Clayton, star basketball and football player from 1983 to 1985. Continued on page 9 Page 9 - THE VILLAGER - September 16 - 22, 2010 The Bay High’s Athletic Hall of Fame - Dick Scott: An Anecdote By Rich Oldrieve “Though This Be Madness” posed to match all the first runners against each other in one race, all the second runners against each other in another race, and so on and so forth through to the sixth runner on each team. Breaking the rules, Coach There, the above opening paragraphs filled with whos, whats, whens, wheres, and a few quotes would have made my Bay Window editors proud. You see, way back in the mid1970s, Joe Tsai and Joe Davies would chew me out for quoting William Shakespeare for my opening lead and then describe the “why” of a sporting event. For example, after the BGSU Cross Country Relays, I quoted Polonius from the Bard’s Hamlet: “Though this be madness, there be method in it.” At the time, I used Polonius’ quote to describe another 2010 inductee, Coach Richard Scott. The backstory to Scottie’s methodical madness was that according to the rules of the BGSU Cross Country Relays, coaches were sup- Scott decided to run our best runner, Chris Koehler against the sixth best runners, and then move everyone else on the team up one notch. This meant that Chris got to run by his lonesome in a dominating performance that foreshadowed his later wins for BGSU at the all-Ohio college cross country race. But it meant that the rest of us were moved up into more competitive races. Each of us would have to work for a victory instead of battle complacency. Coach Scott would use similar strategies in both workouts and season long campaigns. For example, we would run 3 to 5 mile runs before school. Scottie would run along with the leaders, chatting at first, and then later egging people on with taunts that this thirty-some- thing basketball player was taking them on. Guess the “Boo” part of his nickname came from the fact that inevitably, with a mile or two left, he would suddenly disappear, and the captains would be too scared to back down the pace. Similarly, in 1975, we went into the State meet as co-favorites with Austintown Fitch. We had beaten them the previous week in the Regional meet, but everyone knew their top runner, Alan Scharshu, would be gunning for his first of three state championships and locking down 1 point would make beating them tough in a high scoring meet. To everyone’s surprise Maple Heights came out of nowhere to win by riding the backs of a couple of talented half-milers. Studying the tapes, Coach Scott could see that Maple Heights took it out hard, while the more distance oriented teams of Bay and Austintown Fitch got stuck in the traffic jams of 140 runners trying to squeeze between the trees, sand traps, and greens of Ohio State’s Scarlet and Gray golf course. The next year, Coach Scott had us hammering away for early leads in all our races—including outclassed dual meet foes.

Now, this particular article has a bit of Twelfth Night in it too, because it is a tale of series of “twins” separated by birth and tumultuous journeys. You see, the other team inductee into Bay High’s Hall of Fame, is the boy’s basketball team of 1976-1977. The first misplaced “twin” aspect of the story is that when my family moved to Bay Village back in 1969, a fifth grade classmate of mine, Doug Voiers decided that I ought to learn the great game of basketball. He told me about his father being coach of the Bay High varsity team, and how they were already plotting out how to do well when Doug would be a Continued on page 15 Page 10 - THE VILLAGER - September 16 - 22, 2010 Brio Tuscan Grille: A Summer Oasis!

Other than the fact I couldn’t shoot, was slower than an out of shape shot-putter, and couldn’t keep my motherin-law out of the paint, Doug’s sales pitch sounded great. I began a life-long interest in basketball that was aided and abetted by the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers were founded that year, and the Cavs first coach’s daughter, Lisa Fitch, was also a classmate of ours. The twin mix-up was cleared up later that fifth grade year when I finished third in the 600 yard run walk (Doug was one of the two who beat me), and I found my true athletic calling: run track and cross country, and write about the basketball team for the school newspaper. Making the ending even happier, a couple of years later, Doug found a better recruit in Greg Haneline, his future back court mate and legally adopted brother. Doug and Greg then teamed with Dave Tarbert and Dave Enneking to form the nucleus of a team that went undefeated as freshmen and only lost to Medina as sophomore JVs because according to Doug their coach decided to bring down three guys from varsity to beat them and according to Tarbert, Coach Scott (he was the dream team’s freshman, JV, and then assistant varsity basketball coach in addition to coaching distance runners in track and cross country) decided to keep Tarbert from starting because he missed practice. By the time the team was ready to make a run at an undefeated senior season, Buffy McClaughlin and Jack Dashwood had moved into Bay, and Chris Shoup, John Yuhas, Todd Bishop, John Gross, Lee Rohlke, and Dave Hook had rounded into a solid “bench bunch.” As recounted by Doug Voiers, the team had bonded and gained confidence spending a summer traveling from playground court to playground court throughout the Cleveland area taking on all comers as they “held court” each night by going undefeated. As recounted by Coach Richard Voiers, the team averaged 76 points a game and played to packed houses that necessitated simulcasts in the school cafeteria to keep up with the demand. (Yours truly, “cub-reporter,” signed on as game-day water boy to help managers Craig Little and Mike Crook and ensure a bus ride to the game, courtside seat, and access to locker-room chalk talks—all of which allowed me to pick up themes, backstories, and quotes without explicitly asking for them). Now the second misplaced “twin” aspect of this story is that in the same year of 1969 that Doug Voiers was introducing me to basketball, Coach Scott came out of Baldwin Wallace College as a basketball star. He was hired by Bob Kitzerow to be Bay High’s freshly minted health and physical education teacher. With coaching basketball already being held down quite well by Coach Rich Voiers, Coach Scott volunteered to coach cross country, where he soon started the team’s run of over 100 straight dual meet victories, 10 straight SWC championships, and 10 straight trips to the state meet. So the irony is that Coach Rich Voiers was inducted into the inaugural class of Bay’s Hall of Fame for coaching basketball, football, track, and according to Bob Fairchild golf. While that same year the cross country team comprised of Mike Schinski, Chris Koehler, Jeff Lemay, Ross Martin, Steve Peterson, John Rush, and myself was inducted for going undefeated and winning the state championship. At the time, Doug, Greg, and few other members of the 1976-1977 basketball team were a bit jealous that some guys who couldn’t cut it in other sports had beaten them into Bay High’s Hall of Fame. Though it’s important to point out that in addition to cross country where comparisons between distances, courses, and weather conditions can be nebulous, our team members ranked pretty high in track, too. For example, along with Doug Fanta, Mike, Jeff, and Ross were part of a 2-mile relay that still holds Bay High’s record, while first me, then Mike, and finally Chris broke the school record in the open 2-mile/3200 meters. Only this past May, some 33 years later, did Michael Brajdic knock us back one spot from our perches as the three fastest two-milers in Bay High history. But all’s well that ends well, since now Coach Voiers, Coach Scott, and both the 1976 cross country and the 1976-1977 basketball teams are inducted. And just so you know there is cosmic harmony at all levels, next semester my wife Susan will be co-teaching Acting Shakespeare at Baldwin Wallace College. And this semester? She’s teaching Doug’s son Scott, and BW’s next basketball star, how to read and write poetry.

Hi everyone, Old Man in the Kitchen here, Tom. The Old Wives Tale for today is “Oranges in the morning means no snoring!!” Let me know if that’s true. Here’s a delicious recipe for Fresh Apple Cake: 3 cups flour, 3 cups chopped apples, 1-1/2 tsp soda, 1 cup nuts (optional), 1-1/2 cups cooking oil, 2 cups sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 cup coconut (optional), 3 eggs Put everything into a bowl and beat for 5 minutes with spoon. Pour into nonstick tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees until done, about 45 to 55 minutes, or when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Glaze Topping: 1 stick butte, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk Boil all together for 21/2 minutes. Pour over cake while hot. Let cool in pan. Excellent because apples are at their peak! Take care, friends. Pumpkin bread pretty soon - Tom.

The new names of hospitals, facilities, medical groups and foundations also reflect the Mercy brand. “Mercy is a purposeful reflection of who we are and what we do. It speaks to our role in the community. This simple, consistent and powerful expression of compassion unifies all of our services and facilities, and will make it easier for patients and our community to identify us,” says Edwin Oley, president and CEO of Mercy. Community Health Partners Implement Tobacco, NicotineFree Hiring Policy Continued from page 16 sources to help them do so, including free smoking cessation classes, discounted prescriptions on Chantix and Nicoderm patches. “In order for us to instill healthy habits in our patients, we must first lead by example,” says Oley. “We recognize that smoking is a highly addictive habit and want to assist our associates in making a positive change in their lives.” “We are confident that there is a large pool of highly skilled and talented people who share the same philosophy and will welcome the opportunity to work at a healthcare facility that truly cares about the health of their associates and strives to set an example for our community,” adds Oley. As part of this unifying identity, Mercy is adopting a new logo and a message of “Care you can believe in.” The name and tagline are tangible signs of the whole system’s commitment to enhancing the patient experience. “Mercy’s commitment to Lorain County and the surrounding communities is longstanding. Our presence in the city of Lorain dates back to 1892 with the founding of St. Joseph’s, and our Mercy Allen Hospital was founded in Oberlin in 1907. The name Mercy and our new tagline, ‘Care you can believe in’ are par- ticularly relevant for our organization because they connect our quality of care with our heritage of faithbased compassion, kindness and understanding.” says Sister Carol Anne Smith, HM, president of Mercy Board of Trustees. A public ceremony marking the adoption of the Mercy brand took place on Tues., Sept. 14, in front of Mercy Regional Medical Center in Lorain. Internal celebrations will continue throughout the week.

Bay Village offered those and everything else we valued. Now our children have graduated from the Bay Village public school system, and we know we made the best choice so many years ago. They are well educated, well rounded, successful adults. They not only received an excellent academic education from the Bay Village Schools, but they learned the importance of service to others from the many opportunities offered in our schools. The opportunities available to the students, whether it is academics, community service, music, art, athletics, and drama continue to be outstanding.

I continue to support our schools, and I urge my Bay Village friends and neighbors to do the same. Our housing stock is better valued here because of the excellent school system. But the most important reason is because it’s the right thing to do. Children today need the best education we can give them. They will not only be competing in a global market, but they will be asked to help support a growing elderly population. There is no question they need our support now. Please vote yes on the Bay Village school levy. Rhonda Schneider Bay Village, OH CRAFT FAIR, being held at the Avon Church of God, 37445 Detroit Road, Avon, OH 44011.

Page 20 - THE VILLAGER - September 16 - 22, 2010 President Obama Visits Tri-C West President Barack Obama urged guests to look at the bigger picture for all Americans as he visited Cuyahoga Community College West in Parma last week. The President discussed proposals he has introduced this month in advance of the important mid-term elections, saying they will help the middle class. Asking listeners to look beyond partisanship, he said, “Part of moving forward is returning to the time-honored values that built this country: hard work and self-reliance; responsibility for ourselves, but also responsibility for one another. It’s about moving from an attitude that said “What’s in it for me?” to one that asks, “What’s best for America? What’s best for all our workers? What’s best for all of our businesses? What’s best for all of our children?” He drew parallels to Democratic and Republican agendas through the years. “These values “We want to put more Americans back to work rebuilding are not Democratic or Republican. They are not America—our roads, our railways, our runways.” conservative or liberal values. They are Ameri“Instead of tax loopholes that incentivize can values. investment in overseas jobs, I’m proposing a more “As Democrats, we take pride in what our party has accomplished over the last century: generous, permanent extension of the tax credit that Social Security and the minimum wage; the GI goes to companies for all the research and innovation Bill and Medicare; civil rights and worker’s rights they do right here in Ohio, right here in the United and women’s rights,” said Obama. States of America.” “But we also recognize that throughout our history, there has been a noble Republican vision as well, “I believe we ought to make the tax cuts of what this country can be. It was the vision of Abraham Lincoln, who set up the first land grant colleges and for the middle class permanent. For the middle launched the transcontinental railroad; the vision of Teddy class, permanent. These families are the ones Roosevelt, who used the power of government to break up who saw their wages and incomes flat-line over monopolies; the vision of Dwight Eisenhower, who helped build the Interstate Highway System. And, yes, the vision the last decade—you deserve a break. You of Ronald Reagan, who despite his aversion to government, deserve some help.

For the middle class, permanent.

II crown by posting a career-best time to lead the Rockets to a fourth place team effort. The good news for Bay fans is that Brajdic won the 2010 Tiffin title with the remarkable time of 14:54.89. The bad news for everyone else is Brajdic shaved almost a minute off last year’s winning time of 15:21. He went on to win the 2009 Div. II state title in 15:49.1. Yep, last year’s state champ is even faster this season. The Tiffin Distance event is called a Carnival, but the rolling race course within scenic Hedges-Boyer Park is no picnic for runners, making Brajdic’s win all the more impressive. Brajdic, in his first competition of the year after sitting out the first two weeks of the regular season, won in dramatic fashion. He topped the second place runners by almost a minute and half.

The Jam ran for two days this year, with Aldean and his band offered a relentless line-up of stomping tunes. His rocking and edgy country made for an excellent climax to an event that is a mainstay on Clevelanders Country and Western calendars each summer. Sara Evans preceded Aldean with an upbeat set Saturday afternoon. On Friday night, David Nail hammered home a strong performance climaxed by his hit “Turning Home.” It was all part of a hit line up that never disappoints as WGAR delivered the goods once again with a terrific line up of talent. Only downside was the weather with some rain Saturday, but after Aldean’s truly first rate set it was worth the wait and the weather to see musicianship at its best up close and down home.
