You may have receding gums. In fact, 50 percent of people have some form of gum recession. A painful surgery was the only answer, until now. Out of necessity, one dentist is trying to ease the pain for his patients and millions of others. Dr. Thomas Bilski, NE Ohio’s leader in PST procedure BEFORE No surgery, no sutures, all smiles, that’s what Dr. Thomas Bilski wanted for his patients. “I just didn’t see why dentistry has to have a procedure that hurts so much,” said Thomas Bilski, DDS; general dentist in Independence, Ohio. So, Dr. Bilski searched for an alternative and found a new technique called, the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST). Conventional gum grafting is painful. Dentists cut and remove tissue from the roof of the mouth, and then graft it onto the receded gum. Now, Dr. Bilski provides the new PST procedure that is an almost painless option. “There’s some recession of the gums that many children and adults suffer with this unattractive and very sensitive problem. Maria had the procedure. “There’s some sensitivity and I do not like the way my gums look,” Maria told Dr. Bilski. Dr. Bilski doesn’t cut, but uses a needle to make a small hole above the diseased area. “We loosen up the gum and drape it down to where it’s supposed to be. Then we reinforce it with some collagen,” Dr. Bilski explained. There are no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions needed with the Pinhole Surgical Technique™. It simply involves the adjustment of the existing tissue. The pinhole procedure uses a needle, can correct 10 to 14 teeth at once, takes about 20 minutes for up to three teeth, and recovery is less than a day. Traditional surgery requires two incisions, only corrects one to two teeth at a time, takes almost two hours, and there’s a three-week recovery. Joyce was one of the first to have it done. “It was a miracle, an absolute miracle,” Joyce explains and is happy to tell everyone about her pretty new smile. It is expected to be a permanent procedure and should not need to be repeated. As for risks, in the past Dr. Bilski says he has not seen any higher risk with the pinhole technique than with traditional methods. The cost is comparable to traditional methods and can range from 500 dollars to 1,800 dollars. Right now, Dr. Bilski is the only dentist doing this procedure, in northeastern and northwestern regions of Ohio and is one of 500 dentists in the world to have been trained and certified by the inventor of this technique, Dr. John Chao of Alhambra, CA. The benefits of the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ are many: • Less discomfort for the patient after treatment • Faster recovery for the patient than traditional grafting • No need for uncomfortable sutures • No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools • No need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate • Excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results AFTER This is an exciting new way to handle a very common problem. Call our office at 216-524-4410 and schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Bilski.

DATES: April 18 June 13 8 5/31/15 by Jon Huff Feb. 9 council work session After five years of salary freezes, Broadview Heights City Council discussed the future of pay rates for the positions of mayor and council members� “Every four years we decide on salaries for the mayor and city council,” said Council President Robert Boldt� “What we have to decide is whether we want to separate the mayor from the council, and then what compensation council will receive�” According to Boldt, after speaking with council members outside of the work session, the general consensus was to put the mayor on a higher pay scale than council members, but less than the police and fire chiefs� To do so, council created tentative plans for a pay increase over the next four years� If approved, The BroadView Journal, March 2015 the mayor’s pay would be increased by 5 percent for 2015-2016, and 4 percent each year for the following three years� During the previous pay discussions in 2010, council set the mayor’s pay rate at $94,227 each year from 2011-2012 through 2014-2015� “After a five-year freeze [for the mayor’s pay rate], it’s probably time for an increase,” Boldt said� “I think we need to make an adjustment where he is the highest paid [member of council]� Ultimately, he is responsible for everything that passes through council�” Councilman Glenn Goodwin questioned making the mayor the highest paid position� “In most of the cities around us – Independence, Seven Hills, North Royalton – the mayor isn’t the highest paid position in the city,” Goodwin said� “In North Royalton, the mayor has a city a little over one and a half times our size�” “But do they have the same amount of responsibility?” Councilwoman Jennifer Mahnic asked� Councilman James Giomini spoke of the pay rate in a business sense� “We can’t look at this as the seven people sitting here,” Giomini said� “We need to look at the future, as a business case� I believe a full-time mayor is the CEO of the city and he should be paid as such for compensation�” Council unofficially decided to separate the mayor’s pay rate from that of council� Under the potential plan, council will also get a pay increase at a rate of 3 percent each year for the next four years� Council plans to finalize the proposal and vote on it at the Feb� 16 regular council meeting� City engineer Eugene Esser also asked council to vote on an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to resurface Route 82 from Ken Mar Industrial Parkway to the city’s eastern border� The project is part of ODOT’s Route 82/Interstate 77 interchange improvement� The cost is estimated at $1�5 million� Esser said this is the last piece of legislation needed for the project to move ahead� If approved, Esser said ODOT could put the project out to bid by the end of the month with construction beginning later this year� Building Official Michael Skvasik presented council with a plan for the Wiltshire development by Petros Homes as passed by the city planning commission� The commission approved a revised lot split, removing a planned cul-de-sac on St� Andrews Lane and reducing the lot plan for St� Andrews and Fairway lanes by two lots� Goodwin asked about the number of approved units for the plans� The plans originally called for 240 units before revision and the addition of Fairway Lane� “There were more lots approved on St� Andrews and fewer lots on Fairway,” Skvasik said� “Now there are more lots on Fairway� They changed the configuration of lots and eliminated the cul-de-sac on St� Andrews to allow for a stormwater basin� [The change] is just where the lots are located�” Police Chief Michael Vizer asked council to approve the purchase of four 2015 Dodge Charger patrol cars� The cars are priced at $26,172 each for a total cost of $104,688� “It’s again time for the department to rotate four vehicles out,” Chief Vizer said� “We would like to rotate our four HOURS: Mon., Wed., Fri. 10am-6pm | Tues., Thurs.

Today’s Topic: Leg Pain Do you feel burning, cramping numbness or aching in your leg(s)? Do cramps in your calves keep you awake at night? In many cases, leg pain is Spine caused by subluxations in Specialist the spine. Subluxations are Dr. Ryan Haely misalignments of the bones in the body, and referred pain can occur in the legs (or other extremities like wrists, hands and feet). In many cases, lower back subluxations are the cause of leg pain, such as with sciatica problems. The displaced or subluxated bones put pressure on nerves, causing muscle spasms or pain. To get rid of the pain naturally, we must remove the pressure on the nerves, not cover-up symptoms with drugs. Chiropractic adjustments can realign the bones of the spine to ease leg pain safely and effectively without the use of surgery or drugs.

Touted as an economic boon by creating 700 new jobs and $315,000 in real personal property taxes, the project created a lightening rod of opinions. Cries of, “there goes the neighborhood, here comes the traffic,” were heard throughout the Heights. Meetings were held, letters were written and on October 10, 1994, city council voted against the project. Two decades later there are no signs of a Meijers, Target, Walmart or any other big box retail store on the site. Del Corpo’s Home and Garden Center is gone from the corner, the Dairy Queen west of it is rubble and a new Dunkin Donuts is the only sign of new life, for now. Change is coming. Although not on the same superstore scale, nor mired in the same controversies, things are a changing. “This summer the city would like to build a park on the 1.3-acre plot of land we own on the southwest corner,” said Economic Development Director Dave Schroedel. “We would like it to feature something unique to Broadview Heights, maybe a fountain or a clock tower,” he added. When asked about the 20 to 25 acres of land further south and west of the park site, Schroedel said, “There are multiple land owners involved and while there has been talk of development, there are no immediate plans. When the economy tanked, large developers were not even considering building in northeast Ohio. As things have improved, interest has renewed, but while retail developers claim they like the income levels in Broadview Heights, they want more density.” Schroedel said the downtown area (Route 82 and Broadview Road) has zoning that allows for higher density. He said the new Petros’ homes project on the east side of Broadview Road, off of Town Center Drive addresses that issue. According to Sam Petros, “The nineacre property behind existing homes on 10 Broadview Road and accessible off of Town Center Drive can accommodate 23 homes. We have one model nearing completion. Home prices will start right around $300,000, a good price for being in the Brecksville-Broadview Heights school system,” said Petros. As the Petros’ homes go up on the southeast side of Broadview Road, a Broadview Heights Walk-in Urgent Care will rise from the old Dairy Queen store rubble. Construction on the 4,000-square foot center is expected to begin when the weather breaks. Schroedel said the one-story building would be staffed by doctors, making it “a step above a walk-in clinic at the major drugstore chains.” Wi t h t h e c h a n g i n g d ow n t ow n Broadview Heights landscape, city officials are, according to Schroedel, dedicated to the same ideals that were true decades ago. “We want to increase walkability and connect the area with our city campus,” he said. ∞ North Royalton board appoints new officers The North Royalton Board of Education appointed Anne Reinkober as president of the board. Jackie Arendt was appointed vice president. Additionally, the board appointed Russ Wells as its representative on the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC) Board of Education. “We have much to be thankful for in our district and community as we begin 2015,” said Reinkober. “I look forward to working with my fellow board members in addressing ways we can continue to inspire and empower our learners, while examining all of our facility and building issues so that we may continue offering the high level of educational excellence our students and community deserves.” Wells had been a teacher in the district for 25 years, as instructor for advanced woods and metals, architecture and engineering classes and other areas of the industrial arts. Having retired in 2009, he heads his own business, rehabilitating homes for Sallie Mae and Freddie Mac, and works extensively employing individuals in the construction industry. Wells has experience cooperating with the CVCC and has directed camps at the facility for several years.

If approved by the board in coming months, the proposed changes would result in $312,000 in expenses and $242,000 in reductions, leaving a total cost to the district of $70,000. Among the elements Prebles covered were proposed changes in media and technology for students. He suggested that software for internal, longitudinal tracking of students’ academic progress was merited. Prebles also proposed that, starting with the 2015-2016 academic year, each sixth-grade student be assigned his or her own laptop device, encouraging student accountability and responsibility, which would also result in the eventual integration of assigned laptops from sixth through twelfth grades. Paired with reducing computer lab use in the schools, this would not result in increased cost to the district. It could potentially involve an increase in specialists and a decrease in assistants at the media center. “Technology integration is extremely important,” Prebles said. “This is a move toward more personalization, more responsibility for [students’] own equipment and learning.” Board members responded with questions regarding the use of the media center, staffing and coordination of the equipment and computer labs. Several board members emphasized that further discussion would be required prior to any action on the matter. Prebles agreed that these proposals were for further board consideration, but added, “We believe this is the future… What we want to do is make it consistent across the entire school district.” At the regular meeting, board members voted unanimously to no longer provide district school bus transportation to Brecksville and Broadview Heights students attending St. Ignatius High School. That would save the district $33,000 annually. According to the Jan. 14 letter Prebles sent to St. Ignatius Principal Dan Bradesca, six factors identified by the Ohio Revised Code were considered, including transportation costs, mileage and ridership. Morning ridership to the Cleveland private school averaged four to eight students, while the afternoon return trip averaged one to three students. The BBHCSD will reimburse parents of St. Ignatius students for transportation beginning with the next academic year. Among the staff recommendations approved unanimously by the board was the retirement of Carla Calevich. The director of curriculum and instruction for the school district will retire on June 30, after 36 years of service. The position will be posted during the second week of February, she said.

Prior to adjournment, the board unanimously voted to go into executive session. ∞ Calevich looks back on 36 years by Michele Collins Carla Calevich got her first job in the Brecksville School District as a fourthgrade teacher in 1979. She was hired the Friday before school started and when asked if she could get her classroom ready over the weekend, she didn’t hesitate to say yes. Thirty-six years later, Calevich has that same sort of ready-to-go attitude as she enters a new phase in her life, that of retirement. Effective June 30, Calevich will no longer go to work in the same district she has worked in for her entire career. But she plans to stay active in education and to continue to help others in her community. “It has been an honor and a privilege to have been at Brecksville-Broadview Heights for my career. Many people come to the district and don’t leave and that is a tribute to what kind of a district it is and what kind of people work here,” said Calevich. “I guess what I will miss most, though, are the staff and the students. They are the ones that make it hard to leave.” Calevich said she is already planning to stay involved during her retirement. “I hope to volunteer in the BrecksvilleBroadview Heights community and with my church. There are many ways to provide service to our community and I look forward to doing that,” she said. In addition, Calevich said she will continue to stay involved in education, perhaps through consulting work. Calevich has a lot of experience to draw from. In addition to teaching fourth-grade at Chippewa Elementary, she taught high school Spanish and reading at Brecksville Broadview Heights The BroadView Journal, March 2015 or put up bulletin boards� I just knew that I wanted to be a teacher and that has never changed,” she said� And even after 36 years, Calevich, the teacher, the principal and the administrator, will continue her quest for lifelong learning as she moves into this new phase in her life� ∞ KITCHENS Additions • Basement • Baths M02, V50 LONGTIME EDUCATOR/ADMINISTRATOR After 36 years in education, Carla Calevich is still smiling.

Wooster, Westerville, North Canton, and Columbus each have one Danbury and Alliance is getting one. Not to be left out, Broadview Heights will also get one this fall. Danburys are senior living facilities for those needing assistance, independent living and/or memory care. The Broadview Heights Danbury is being built on the west corner of Broadview and Akins Roads. The two-story, 101-unit building by Lemmon and Lemmon of Canton, should be completed in October. “How long it takes after completion before we are state licensed, is not clear,” said William Lemmon. “It is generally a one-to three-month process, but my understanding is that the state is attempting to shorten that and make it a ten-day procedure.” If the procedure is shortened, it is likely, said Lemmon, that the facility will accept residents before year’s end. Lemmon, who founded the Danburys with partner Robert J. DeHoff, said, “I began in the building business 50 years ago and went into senior housing sixteen years ago.” In those 16 years, Lemmon has built six Danburys that he said are, “without entrance, endowment or up front community fees.” There is a $1,000 deposit for application that is, he said, “significantly different than many other senior living facilities.” As to what kind of living seniors can expect at the Danbury of Broadview Heights, Lemmon was quick to say, “the best of everything.” The best being a movie theater, spa, beauty salon, fireplace lounge, fitness area, private dining facility, craft room and bright modern living suites. With 101 suites, the Broadview Heights facility is neither the smallest nor the largest of the Danburys. “We have 43unit facilities and 135-unit facilities,” Lemmon said.

Kananian “We chose to come to Broadview Heights and were given the full cooperation of the mayor and Dave Schroedel, the economic development director. We will be creating 100 to 110 jobs,” he said. Schroedel noted, “We were pleased to get the Danbury and especially like the fact that they build and manage their properties.” He added that there is room and plans for a 30-unit expansion off the back end of the building. ∞ • INDUSTRIAL WINTER SPECIALS (440) 237-1777 www.liscohvac.com • Furnaces • Boilers • Oil Furnaces • Humidifiers • Air Cleaners • Heat Pumps • Air Conditioners 22 Ask About Rebates & Utility Incentives $ 10 OFF WE SERVICE ALL BRANDS OF HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING EMERGENCY SERVICE ASK ABOUT OUR FREE ESTIMATES!!

More than 300 people gathered at Carrie Cerino’s Ristorante & Party Center in North Royalton on Jan. 31, to be entertained by 10 videotaped horse races. The night also included raffle baskets, football squares and sideboard, and nine premium baskets in a silent auction of student artwork. Guests were invited to dance the night away and were treated to appetizers, a gourmet buffet dinner, an open bar and pizza. Michael Angelo’s Bakery provided a dessert display. Principal Donna Sejba said a group of progressive parents with a vision for the school launched the event to create a computer lab. She said it was the “advent of technology” at the time, and the group – then known as the education commission – took on the role of sponsor for the fundraiser. The success of that event fueled plans for an annual event. “I’ve worked with many parents and different advisory boards over the years and they are all diligent and committed to the best interest of the school and students,” Sejba said. “This is for the students.” Over the years the proceeds from the event mainly fund tuition assistance for students in need, but funds also are used for special projects, including technology and safety activities for students, such as presentations on the dangers of the Internet and social media. Sejba said proceeds from this year’s event will 26 event that brings our school, church and community together.

But there is no therapy quite like pet therapy and Broadview Heights Harborside Healthcare residents have the smiles to prove it. “We’ve always been pet friendly, but I think our pet therapy actually started about 15 years ago when one of the nurses brought in her dog,” said Harborside Activities Director JoAnn Lunsford. Pet therapy at the Broadview Heights facility involves everything from petting the therapy dog, Molly, to brushing the facility’s two Mini Rex bunnies or watching cockatiel bird brothers Knuckles and Izzy flutter about in their cage. According to pethealthandcare.com, Mini Rex bunnies are medium-size rabbits with short ears and plush coats. They weigh three to four-and-a-half pounds, come in a variety of colors, have friendly personalities and enjoy petting. Harbor- “When they touch the animals they get a sensory experience and their responses will melt your heart.” JoAnn Lunsford Harborside Activities Director side’s Mini Rex bunnies are brown and black and are mother and child. The same website lists cockatiels as clever birds that make good pets. They are 10- to 14-inches long, have yellow crests, bright orange cheeks and long tail feathers. Often able to mimic words, the Harborside birds are brothers and only say “cheeseburger.” “We find that residents that may not interact with others will pet Molly, or hold the bunnies and even laugh at the birds,” said Lunsford. “When they touch the animals they get a sensory experience and their responses will melt your heart. Even those with diminished cognitive abilities, or those residents that can no longer communicate, are touched by touching the animals.” Not only can residents touch the animals, but in the case of the nowdeceased first bunny, Bun-Bun, they enjoy watching the bunny ride around in a wheelchair. Having the bunny ride in a wheelchair puts them on the same level as 75 percent of the patients, explained Lunsford. “We are in the process of training the two new bunnies to ride in the wheelchair and are having the residents name them,” said Lunsford. “At this point, Velvet is one favorite name, but the final votes are not in,” she quipped. Animals at Harborside are, she said, “rehomed,” meaning they came from shelters. They live in the activities room in cages and are never brought into dining areas or a resident’s room while they are eating. “There are state guidelines that prohibit the animals from being around at meal times, but there are no guidelines on feeding the animals,” Lunsford laughed. “In our cooking group, we make sure 28 The BroadView Journal, March 2015 V13 DOGS, BUNNIES��� PET THERAPY AT HARBORSIDE Pet therapy at Broadview Heights Harborside Healthcare began about 15 years ago when one of the nurses brought her dog into the facility.

Any home or business owner who has ever attempted to paint the inside of a room or the outside of a storefront knows how difficult it can be and how much precision and time is involved. So do the experienced painters at Toth Painting Solutions. This team of professionals takes every measure necessary and uses only the highest quality materials to ensure that each job is done correctly and with integrity. “People call us because they expect that we’re going to do the best job,” said business owner and founder Kristopher Toth, who started the company in 2000. “We get the best painters we can find; we have quality craftsmen working for us.” Toth and his staff of 10 painters, many of whom have been with Toth Painting Solutions for more than five years, serve clients throughout the Greater Cleveland area having completed jobs from Hinckley and Richfield, to Cleveland and Avon Lake. “We don’t work for any specific area, and we don’t want to turn anyone away,” said Toth. “We just want to serve anyone who wants the job done right.” Toth Painting Solutions paints interiors and exteriors of residences and light commercial and industrial businesses, such as offices, storefronts and funeral homes. The business has tenured workers who know how to repair water damage in drywall and ceilings, remove wallpaper, refinish aluminum and vinyl siding, and paint vaulted ceilings, among other crucial tasks. The business’ office is in Parma, but Toth is a Brecksville resident and takes his time to become as much a part of that city’s business community as possible, like giving 1% of Brecksville sales to the city food bank. Toth Painting Solutions is a member of the Brecksville Chamber of Commerce and regularly carries out jobs in Brecksville, Broadview Heights, North Royalton and Independence. The company is also a four-time winner of the Angie’s List Super Service Award, most recently in 2014, and is a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). “Being involved in NARI not only keeps us in the loop as to what’s going on in the remodeling industry, but it holds us to a higher ethical standard as a business,” said Toth. “It’s an organization that makes us better overall.” “We want to focus on our customers first,” said Toth. “We’re going to be the ones who call you back, show up on time and, most importantly, do a clean, quality job.” Kristopher Toth is President Elect at NARI, is on the Board of Directors at Brecksville Chamber of Commerce, and on the board of directors at the Cleveland Better Business Bureau.

And, almost anyone you ask claims they eat healthy. I’ve had clients come into our studios that w e i g h 10 0 p o u n d s and you’d think they were healthy because they look skinny, but 50 pounds of that scale weight was fat. It’s the unwanted acc e s s p o u n d s of fat that cause so many of Eric Schaefer our country’s current health problems. Looking at the facts, the only way to lose fat is to consume fewer calories than your body burns daily. Yet, more than two-thirds of the U.S. population is overweight or obese, so there is an obvious discrepancy here. The easy explanation for this is that most people overestimate the healthfulness of their diet, which is usually true. However, the more important distinction is that “healthy” eating and fat-loss eating are not the same things. If you are eating healthy, you are not necessarily going to be burning fat. There are several foods and food groups that are healthy – meaning they contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals, as well as healthy fiber or good fats – but will do very little to help burn fat. Research over the past several years has really revolutionized the way we look at how we can effectively burn fat. Not only has it been proven that traditional aerobic exercise is one of the least effective forms of exercise, it’s also one of the most time consuming and could even be counterproductive. You’re really getting the least amount of bang for your buck when you spend extended amounts of time running on a treadmill. High-intensity interval training, on the other hand, has consistently risen to the top as the most effective and efficient form of exercise. You’re actually getting MORE benefits from high-intensity training than Sponsored By you do from aerobic/cardio in a fraction of the time – all because you’re utilizing your body as it was designed to be used. You can literally be done in about 20 minutes, compared to spending an hour running on the treadmill. And, for the record, strength training is not just for men, women have reportedly started weight training in record numbers!

So, truly, if you’ve struggled finding time for an effective exercise routine, this could be the solution you’ve been looking for. The key to make it work is intensity. The intensity needs to be high enough that you reach muscle fatigue.

Coloma, D.D.S., M.S. What are dental sealants? Why does my child need them? How long will they last? These are a few of the questions that parents ask about dental sealants. Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating applied to the grooves of the chewing surfaces on permanent molars to help protect them from decay. They act as a physical barrier to help seal out germs and bacteria. Dental sealants are commonly placed on the permanent molars. The first molars that erupt in a child’s mouth are commonly referred to as their six-year molars because they erupt around the age of 6 years. The second set of molars erupts in a Arlene J. Coloma, child’s mouth around the age of 12 D.D.S., M.S. and are commonly referred to as the 12-year molars. All of these permanent teeth are meant to remain in your child’s mouth for the remainder of his/her adult life. The 6- and 12-year molars can sometimes be difficult to clean due to their position in the mouth. These molars tend to have many grooves and pits that can often be difficult to keep free from food, germs and bacteria. The majority of children’s cavities occur in these grooves and pits. Sealants are meant to cover these deeper areas and help make the surfaces smoother so bacteria have a more difficult time penetrating these surfaces. Sealants are considered to be a preventative measure to help minimize the likelihood of cavities. Dental sealants are much less invasive than fillings. They protect the tooth and help to prevent needing dental treatment. They are placed in an attempt to avoid decay, therefore leaving the tooth in a much stronger position to fight off future unwanted bacteria and germs. Sealants can last for many years and should be checked every six months at a routine dental check up. As long as the sealants remain intact, the tooth surface is protected from decay. Sealants hold up well under normal chewing conditions and are most important during the first years of the tooth’s existence in when the grooves and pits are most prominent. With the incorporation of sealants into your child’s preventative dental care, your child can be well on their way to eliminating future tooth decay.

Many yet-to-be-discovered products and services will be at the forefront of our economy in years to come. So…how do parents and educators prepare students for future careers, using technologies that haven’t been invented, to solve problems we don’t yet have? One of the best things we can do to prepare students for their future is to expose them to a variety of experiences that will develop their self awareness. The more students know about themselves, the better prepared they will be to connect with careers that match who they are. Summer Career Camps provide students multiple opportunities to engage in activities that will unleash their innate skills and intensify their interests. CVCC Summer Career Camps provide campers with the opportunity to “try on” a career for a week. While they acquire new skills, they also learn about themselves, their interests, values, character traits and skills. This enhanced self-awareness helps equip them to be able to make critical college and career decisions in high school and beyond. Whether they are building a robot, filming a movie or creating a website, campers employ science, technology, engineering and math concepts and learn critical thinking and problem solving skills — all skills that will be required in future careers. Campers in every camp collaborate and work in teams, which develop their communication and interpersonal skills. As they participate in new experiences, they find out what they enjoy and find interesting. CVCC will host Summer Career Camps in June for students who will be entering grades 5 to 10. For a complete list of camps offered or to register, visit www. cvccworks.edu/CAREERCAMPS.aspx, or contact Nanci Coleman at [email protected] or 440.838.8851. Online registration with payment by credit card is available beginning February 9th. Sponsored By The Cuyahoga Valley Career Center is located at 8001 Brecksville Road, in Brecksville. If you have any questions, please contact Nanci Coleman, Community Liaison. [email protected] (440) 838-8851 The BroadView Journal, March 2015 From the experts llllllllllllllllllllllllllll Best Furnace Choice by Tom Olecki Furnaces built today basically come in two different efficiencies: 80% or 95%. Should you find yourself in need of a new furnace, an important question to address is how efficient a furnace should you invest in? Today, the premium and most Tom Olecki, owner, efficient gas furBroadview Heating naces are around 95-97% efficient. These furnaces will benefit you with reduced gas bills, longer heat exchanger warranties and quieter operation. If your old furnace was manufactured approximately 20 years ago or more, its efficiency might be 70% or less. You could be saving 25% or more with this new furnace. The 95% furnaces are installed a little differently than a typical standard efficiency furnace. For example, the exhaust piping cannot go to your chimney. The 95% furnace is so efficient that we no longer need a high temperature vent system. These furnaces are vented through the sidewall of your home using PVC plastic vent materials. A drain is usually required near the furnace as well. In contrast, a basic, standard efficiency furnace manufactured today is 80 percent efficient. These furnaces will save you around 10% over a typical furnace that is over 20 years old, and 80% furnaces are usually vented or exhausted to your chimney. A chimney liner may be required to prevent condensation in some instances. These furnaces install for about $1,000 less than a comparably featured 95% furnace. So which should you choose? Since we have found there is really no big difSponsored By Questions are always welcome. For free help with your heating/cooling system, ask the experts at broadviewheating @sbcglobal.net or call 440-526-7310. The BroadView Journal, March 2015 ference in reliability between furnaces, I suggest you base your choice on the following: A 95% furnace costs more to buy and install than a standard furnace. Payback for the extra money you invest will be around 5-6 years. If you’re plans are to sell your home in less than that amount of time, you would be money ahead if you chose a standard furnace. Standard efficiency furnaces are a good solution also for a rental property where your tenant is responsible for the gas bill. Best value: If you plan to stay in your home, there is no reason not to get the most efficient furnace, if you can afford the initial extra cost. Selecting high efficiency will benefit you in both comfort and savings and will pay for itself over and again during its life.

That may not be how you think of attorneys, but when an attorney like me wants to help clients in a constructive manner, we can bring peace to our clients’ lives, while obtaining the results the clients think are fair. This is particularly important when people are dealing with divorce. When a peacemaker attorney works with the family, he or she does not attack or make things ugly. The peacemaker attorney advocates and protects their clients interests in a productive manner. Laurie Malone M a ny p e a c e m a ke r at to r n eys choose to become mediators or collaborative divorce attorneys. With these options, relationships are strengthened. Parents are able to parent more effectively, and they have stronger relationships with their children, as well as with each other. If you are contemplating divorce, think about how you want your life to be five years from now. If you want to be arguing with your ex, arguing your case in court will enhance the possibilities of that happening. If you want to be happy, financially secure, and at peace, consider retaining a peacemaker attorney; and consider the options of mediation or collaborative divorce. As a peacemaker attorney, I am able to help my clients achieve the best results possible, and that’s why they are able to move on with the lives in a positive way.
