NO
HIGHER
PRAISE: There is no
higher praise than the respect and gratitude of those
who have followed your
leadership. 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!

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:

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

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. For questions,
or for more information,
please contact Nadia
VanHoose of Rae-Ann
Westlake at (440) 8710500.

Lots of Options Available…
Can you believe how fast summer went? 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)

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

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).

The Easy Step™ : Install Before you Fall!
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. To
learn more, log on to

from many of his former
wrestlers.
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

inductees.

On the evening of Sat., Sept. 4, 2010, the Bay High Athletic Hall of
Fame inducted numerous new members. 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.

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.

basketball player teams.
• Jonathan Osborn, two-time all-conference hockey player and two-time all-state
shortstop in 1978 and 1979.
• Jim Holland, SWC scoring champion on the 1964 and 1965 basketball teams that
went undefeated until the District final.
• Tom Redinger, MVP of the West County League for football in 1949 and leading
scorer on the 1950 basketball team.
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

Tri-C Celebrates Center for Creative Arts
Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) celebrated its brand
new Center for Creative Arts in downtown Cleveland with a
spectacular grand opening Tuesday evening.
Dr. Jerry Sue Thornton, President Cuyahoga Community
College, welcomed guests as a two-tiered pyrotechnics display
revealed the new Center.
Students and staff then showcased the Center for Creative Arts
as an unparalleled facility in this region. Guests toured state-of –
the-art studios including cutting-edge animation capabilities, a live
recording studio with classroom viewing access just outside a massive
soundboard, and a room called The Black Box, where a wide range
of production resources are offered.
The $27.3 million center on Woodland Avenue includes
classrooms and recording studios for the college’s media arts,
recording technology, music, theater, dance and animation programs.
Dr. Jerry Sue Thornton, President Cuyahoga
Community College, with Terry Stewart, President
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It also will house the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
and Museum’s library and archives, opening next spring.
Hall of Fame President Terry Stewart and associates
were on hand.
The Center is part of a proactive expansion of the
college throughout the county. This winter, a new
Westlake campus will open off Bradley Road, while
campuses in Highland Heights and Brunswick will also
augment a new hospitality program coming to the old
May Company building downtown in October.
As part of the college’s mission, Tri-C is working
to provide better access to regional education as well
as aligning educational programs with career
opportunities. The coming West Shore Campus will
focus primarily on health care careers.
From last weekend’s
Avon Fall Fest to
this weekend’s
3rd Annual Crocker
Park Fall Arts Fest,
it’s a great time to get
out and enjoy the early
days of Autumn.

North Coast Challenge: 20 Years of Community Celebration!
The 20th annual North Coast Challenge held
on the grounds of St. John Medical Center Labor
Day weekend was significant for many reasons.
The signature end-of-summer annual
event that started as Celebrate Westlake in
1990 once again proved to be an important
fundraiser for many deserving Westlake charitable and community causes.
In raising more than $1.6 million in community funds over two decades, the 5-Mile
Run, 3.4 Mile Walk and Kid’s Fun Runs
proved once again to be a marker for participant quality of life.
“It was the first time our twenty years that
we had rain, but it was a good day and we had
a very good turnout,” said Race Chairman William “Bud” Hagy.
Top running awards went to out-of-town
talents, adding the North Coast Challenge reputation as a premier event. Bado Woyku of The

The Bay High’s Athletic Hall of Fame - Dick Scott: An Anecdote
Continued from page 9
junior and senior. 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.

By implementing such
a progressive policy, the
health system will join the
ranks of the Cleveland
Clinic, Medical Mutual of
Ohio, Summa Health Systems and Scotts MiracleGro in an effort to improve
the health of the communities it serves and fulfill the
organization’s mission.
“As the single most preventable cause of disease,
disability and death in the
United States, the health
hazards of tobacco use are
well known,” says Edwin
Oley, CHP president and
CEO. “CHP has a respon-
sibility to discourage tobacco use, foster a healthier
workforce and set an example for the community at
large.”
In 2007, CHP took the
first step in deterring the use
of tobacco and creating a
healthier environment for
patients, visitors and associates by implementing a
tobacco-free campus policy.
All new associates will
be required to confirm their
non-tobacco use status on
the employment application
form and will be tested for
tobacco or nicotine use as
part of CHP’s regular drug
screening process. Applicants who admit to tobacco
use on their application or
who test positive for nicotine or cotinine (the metabolite of nicotine) during the
pre-employment examination will be given information for free smoking cessation classes.
While current associates will not be affected by
the new policy, CHP does
encourage all associates
who use tobacco or nicotine-related products to quit

Westlake: A Bicentennial Celebration!
Continued from page 1
Bicentennial, you’ll be discovering many new – and old —
things about the city you live in,” reports Mayor Dennis Clough.
Mayor Clough was joined by none other than Leonard Porter, a settler from the mid-1800’s, at the Westlake Chamber of
Commerce Bicentennial kick-off luncheon this week at the
Westlake Holiday Inn.
Mayor Clough and Porter announced the coming of a special year with lots of activities for all to enjoy.
Beginning Jan. 1, a New Year’s Eve Ball will drop at
Crocker Park at 7 p.m. (midnight in Tralee, Ireland – Westlake’s
sister city). It will culminate with “Let’s Eat, Westlake” and the
annual Mayor’s Ball in Nov., 2011. In between will be a year of
good times and great fun filled with commemorative activities.
July Fourth, 2011 will be a big weekend with the Crocker
Park Liberty Fest. Concerts, historic home plaques, Farm Days,
Historic home and garden tours, a time capsule and Walk of
Fame will also occur through the year-long celebration.
Proceeds from sponsored events will be used to honor the
city’s past and prepare for the future with the creation of a museum of Dover Township and a civic space at Crocker Park.
You can become a part of the celebration by calling Lynn
Brady, Economic Development Assistant, at 440-617-4308 or
Darryl Whitehead at 440-623-9960.
A Westlake Bicentennial website has been launched with
terrific videos of local history and updates on bicentennial
events. Link to http://www.cityofwestlake.org/bicentennial/
default.aspx on the City of Westlake website.
You will find a nifty video interview straight out of the
past with Leonard Porter. He reminds us that he started Porter
Public Library in those days of yore with a donation of his personal books and gift of $1000.
“We will have a special year filled
with activities for everyone to enjoy. I
hope you will join us in this great celebration,” said Mayor Clough.

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

Local Artists with Disabilities Showcase their Work
Local artists and musicians who have experienced

tember 20, 2010 at 1-877247-6161.
“People who have suffered from disability such as
stroke or other chronic illness and can now share their
experience through creative
expression have so much to
offer the community,” says
Edie Hutchinson, recreation
therapist. “And those who
are going through the earlier
stages of their recovery can
benefit greatly from seeing
the possibilities that are
open to them.”
Community Great
Lakes Rehabilitation offers
a weekly support group, run
by psychologist
Dr. Zev Goldberg, for
current and former patients
every Saturday at 3:30 PM.
Patients and their friends

Community Health Partners Announces New Brand Identity
Community Health
Partners is adopting a new
brand identity, “Mercy.”
The new identity reflects the
organization’s position as a
leading healthcare provider
that provides care centered
on patients’ individual
needs with an emphasis on
quality, improved access,
enhanced communication
and reduced hassle for both
patients and physicians. 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.

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.

identity announcement,

pumping like the sound and fury of the United
States Navy Blue Angels churning up the skies!
That was the highlight of this year’s
Cleveland National Airshow! Thousands enjoyed
stellar Labor Day Weekend weather to enjoy one
of the best Airshows ever!
Cleveland hosted the U.S. Navy Blue Angels
as headliners of the 2010 Cleveland National Air

Each show day, the six select Blue Angels
demonstration pilots put their distinct blue and
gold F/A-18 Hornet jet fighters through a
choreographed hour-long performance at speeds
up to 500 mph and as close as three feet from
each other. Trademark Blue Angels maneuvers
included the six-plane delta formation, high

Letters to the Editor
Bay School Levy
To the editor:
When my husband and
I were looking for a place
to raise our children, great
schools were of the utmost
importance. 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.

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

“But we also recognize that throughout our
history, there has been a noble Republican vision as well,

sector collapsed and the recession hit, one in

industry. That’s partly why our economic plan
has invested in badly needed infrastructure
projects over the last 19 months—not just
roads and bridges, but high-speed railroads and
expanded broadband access. Altogether, these
projects have led to thousands of good, private

Brajdic Wins
at Tiffin
Bay High senior cross
country ace Michael Brajdic
captured his second straight
Tiffin Distance Carnival
championship last Saturday
in spectacular fashion,
claiming the Div. 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.

Jason Aldean
The 2010 WGAR County Jam at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds rocked out big time last weekend as
headliner Jason Aldean treated fans to his kind of party Saturday night.
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.

The Bay High football team takes the field against Westlake.
The Westlake High football team has given fans plenty to cheer about as the Demons rolled to 3-0 this season with a 22-7 win at Rocky River last Friday night. A week earlier,
