From the Director
Pat McCafferty
Vice-President...
T
he summer issue of Kamm’s Corners Magazine is always an opportunity to
look forward and back. What strikes me this year looking back is the extreme
weather we have endured the last few months, from torrential rains to searing heat,
and back again.
Visitors to The Hooley on Kamm’s Corners™ suffered through heavy rain throughout the day, but we still enjoyed good crowds and plenty of fun. Thanks again for
coming out. Save the date for the third annual Hooley on May 13th, 2012.
Heavy rain through much of spring delayed planting of crops, and therefore, also
the produce offerings at the Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market. But the produce is
rolling in now, and several hundred people visit the market each week to shop their
favorite vendors. Also offered are meat, cheese, eggs, baked goods, prepared jams,
salsas, and oils, and lots of other good stuff. If you haven’t been there, you are missing a neighborhood gem – now in its fifth year!
Our final Asphalt Cinema of the season takes place at Impett Park on Friday,
August 19th. We will again combine forces with West Park Early Childhood PTA.
They received a Neighborhood Connections grant to offer a Safety Fair that will
feature free bike helmets and other attractions. See the story on page 7.
Kudos to the West Park Kiwanis for another fine Independence Day Parade! They
asked me to thank Kamm’s Plaza management for the continued use of their parking lot for staging purposes. Great job everybody.
Remember to register for the Cleveland Heroes Run taking place September 18th.
In addition to the 5K run, there is a 2K walk. Great cause – why not get a little exercise and support the families of our fallen neighborhood heroes? Story on page ??
Finally, I want to give a little “shout out” to our neighborhood bars and restaurants.
Each of them continue to host and promote charitable causes that benefit countless
neighborhood based as well as national charities, and also tons of little benefits for
very local causes. It’s your business that enables them to do so. Please support your
local hospitality establishments, and all of our merchants.
Enjoy the rest of the summer, and as always, let us know how we’re doing.

News from Ward 19 and City Hall
Dear Neighbor:
Mid-August already! After
braving the torrential downpours,
we were hit by the heat wave,
and now we’re rounding third and
heading home. It sure was fun
while it lasted, as are all summers
in West Park, marked by block
parties, festivals, and gatherings
in our wonderful neighborhood
parks.
Although it may seem that
way, we are not done yet. There
are a ton of wonderful events
remaining this year. The 10th
Annual Heroes Run comes to
us on September 18th. One of
our many signature races/walks.
From the AJ Schroeder Run to
the St. Mark Run for the Arts,
or the WPCA Patriot Walk, we
have everything you need to get
out and enjoy our wonderful
community. I could never put in
words the unbelievable teams of
volunteers who work tirelessly to
put these great events together.
Their passion and commitment
to our neighborhoods and their
respective causes is simply
unmatched in the City of
Cleveland. Thank you.
We also have the St.
Mary’s Romanian Festival on
Warren Road the weekend of
August 19th. What a fantastic
demonstration of strong roots
and proud heritage so consistent
throughout Ward 19. The food,
music, dancing, and more food
continues to impress not only our
neighbors but our region.
Not to be considered
competition, but we have a new
festival coming to West Park on
September 3rd and 4th. The
first annual Greek Festival will be
held in and around the Kamm’s
Corners Cretan Center located
5
across from Walgreens at 3853
W. 168th, facing the Kamm’s
Corner Farmers Market. Please
plan on stopping, eating, and
dancing to make this first year a
success and ensure future events.
The decorative crosswalks are
done on Lorain Avenue. I think
all are very pleased to see traffic
moving again and the lights back
to normal. What a great addition.
The feeling of neighborhood and
pedestrian friendliness is hopefully
on the rebound and stronger
than ever. To see people pushing
strollers and riding bikes or simply
walking along Lorain makes these
last three years well worth it.
Please take a minute to stop up,
and I mean stop, along Lorain
Avenue to enjoy this wonderful
rejuvenation.
Block Club interest has also
enjoyed a recent up-tick. Thanks
to those well established clubs that
continue to impress with their
ideas and commitment. Thanks
also to the newer interested streets
including; Greenway, West 157,
and West 148. As frequently
stated, Block Clubs are a great
way to know what’s happening
on the street as well as to keep an
eye out for our neighbors and our
neighborhood. Please call if you
have an interest in starting a Block
Club on your street.
In closing I would like to remind
everyone to shop locally. Make a
stop at one of those local stores
you haven’t visited in a while. Just
check it out. Tell them you live
down the street and appreciate
what they do. That is not only the
life line of our neighborhood but
of our nation.
God Bless,

The George Varouh Cretan Club of Cleveland – A History
The Cretan Mutual Benefit Association was founded in 1918 in Cleveland Ohio. The purpose
of the association was to promote camaraderie among Cretans living in Cleveland. (Crete is
the largest and most populous of the Greek islands.) The “benefit” in the name comes from
the fact that there was a death benefit for the members. If you died and didn’t have the money
for a burial, the association would pay the bill for you.
As the years passed by, the purpose of the association slowly started to change. Scholarships
started being awarded and the sick were being helped when they needed it. A very active
member and major benefactor was George Varouh, so the organization named the club after
him. He died July 26, 2011, at the age of 102.
Another focus was the Cretan heritage and traditions. The members wanted their traditions,
language, and culture handed down to their children. Emphasis was placed on being a good
citizen and education was, and is, at the forefront.
Throughout the eighty-some years the association has existed, there was always a want
and need for its own building. Somehow this dream never had transpired until recently. Upon
researching different neighborhoods, the association focused on the Kamm’s Corner’s area.
According to past president George Hohlakis “We thought that we could find a building that was
affordable and still be in a nice area of Cleveland. After searching high and low, we finally found
the building we are occupying and bought it. Even though it needed extensive renovations, we
knew with time and effort, we could make it our home for now and the future.”
“After meeting with the councilman at the time, Michael Dolan, he suggested we apply
for the Storefront Renovation Program to update and beautify the front of our building. After
contact was made with Cindy Janis of Kamm’s Corners Development Corporation, we filled out
the application, and we were on our way! Tim Barrett, a city designer, made a beautiful plan
for our sign, and, with some painting and extensive landscaping, we have a most beautiful
storefront that we are extremely proud of! Cindy was very meticulous throughout the entire
process and guided us every step of the way. Our sign is very unique because it sits on two
massive Minoan columns and has the horns of the famous Cretan bull sitting on top of it. Many
have said they feel like they are in Crete when looking at the sign and the large stones that
are part of our landscaping.”
We are very happy the Cretan Center is part of the Kamm’s Corners family!

Geppetto’s Pizza &
Ribs is Home Again
…by Cindy Janis
After a devastating fire gutted
the original Geppetto’s Pizza &
Ribs location at Warren Village
Shopping Center in 2007, the awardwinning restaurant started serving
the neighborhood again in March of
this year. The new location, at 15233
Triskett Road, was recently renovated
with the assistance of the City of
Cleveland Storefront Renovation
Program (SRP).
T h e SRP offers professional
design assistance and a 40% rebate
up to a maximum of $25,000 for
comprehensive exterior renovations.
One of the goals of the program is to
maintain the architecture and restore
the building.
Unfortunately, the entire brick
building had been covered with
white paint. To restore the design
of the building, a brick color paint
that closely matched the original
brick was chosen and applied. Also,
the aluminum storefront door was
replaced with an oak wood-grain
textured fiberglass door.
Custom made canvas awnings with
Italian colors – red, white and green
– were installed over the windows
and the entrance. Black gooseneck
lights project over the roofline, and
red neon signage with the Geppetto’s
logo letters wrap across the corner of
the building.
According to owner Mike O’Malley,
who grew up in the neighborhood and
graduated from St. Mel’s, he feels like
he’s back home. “We were at our first
location for 30 years, and it’s great
being back in the neighborhood and
seeing all my former customers again,”
said Mike. “It’s like a reunion every
time someone walks into the store.”
Mike proudly states that Geppetto’s
is the winner of 12 National and Local
Rib Burn-Off competitions. “We slow
cook St. Louis ribs and then charbroil
with our award winning BBQ sauce.”
Other menu favorites are boneless
and regular wings with a selection of
14 different sauces. The most popular
pizzas are the Deluxe with a choice of
six of the standard fifteen toppings,
and the Hawaiian Delight: a delicious
combo of ham, bacon and pineapple
with special island spices.
Topping the list of sandwiches is
the homemade Meatball Sandwich
covered with sauce and cheese, and the
Philly Cheese Steak filled with shaved
ribeye grilled with peppers, onions
and mushrooms then smothered
with cheese. Also, Geppetto’s offers
a selection of fresh salads, calzones
and sides of slaw, baked beans and
fries, plus cheesecake and Cinnamon
Wheely for dessert.
There’s always something cooking
at the Public House.
• Great home-made soups and
specials created daily!
• Live entertainment
most weekends!
• Corned Beef Dinner Special
served all day Wednesday!
• Perfect for all occassions:
Public House Gift Cards!

“Our customers tell us that the
renovation looks great and makes
the whole neighborhood better,” said
Mike. “We hear daily that Geppetto’s
was missed, and that people are glad
we’re back in the neighborhood.”
KCDC is glad Geppetto’s Pizza &
Ribs is back in the neighborhood,
also. Congratulations on your new
renovated location, and welcome
home.

Urban Gardeners
Grow for Market
…by Marilyn Osborne
Fresh, local produce draws visitors
to the Kamm’s Corners Farmers Market
(KCFM), where over thirty market
members offer goods -- from Ohio
raised meat to fruit and vegetables
picked the morning it is sold. Some of
those are picked only a few blocks away!
Two new market vendors raise
vegetables for the market in their own
yards nearby. Each learned how to do it
through programs offered by Growhio,
an organization that strengthens and
supports all aspects of Northeast Ohio’s
local food economy.
“My involvement started last April,
when I went to the “Know Your Food”
series at River’s Edge on Rocky River
Drive,” said Ginger Needham. She
had been thinking about starting
a vegetable garden and attended a
presentation titled “What’s Growing
in Your Neighborhood,” given by
Jenny Kelley, KCFM Manager. Jenny
was joined by representatives from
local farmers markets and community
supported agriculture organizations.
They shared their knowledge and
answered questions about food and
why locally grown food is the best.
Growhio was looking for people who
were interested in becoming urban
farmers.
Ginger decided to become part of
Growhio’s urban farming program,
which provides information about
growing, pricing, marketing, record
keeping, and more. Needham Gardens
LLC was born. “My college student son,
Andrew, does a lot of the work here,”
said Ginger, who also has a full time job
away from the garden. She and Andrew
garden their yard at West 130th and
Kirton Avenue. Most of the garden is
in raised beds.
In addition, they are gardening
on three adjacent lots, which she
recently purchased. Two of the lots are
unsuitable for building, which worked
in her favor. The house on the other
was destroyed by fire. Now those vacant
lots are growing tomatoes, radishes,
onions, Swiss chard, romaine, collard
greens, basil, mint, and lemon balm.
Zucchini is almost ready.
Seven hens will soon produce eggs
for the market. Only one is mature
enough to do so now. Caring for hens
seems natural to Ginger. She was raised
on a farm in North Royalton that had
been in the family since 1803. The
youngest of 10 children, she recalls
how hard her parents worked the farm.
“They were avid gardeners. My son
has a green thumb, too,” said Ginger.
Eventually, she hopes the garden will
produce enough to provide a livelihood.
Jill Evans grows herbs and tomatoes
in seven raised beds at her home on
Summerland and West 130th. She has
been gardening professionally for 14
years under the name Jada’s Garden
Service, offering garden planting and
flowerbed maintenance. (Jada is an
acronym of her name and her children’s
names.) Raised in a farming family, Jill
learned how to garden from her mother
who has retired to the family farm in
Southern Ohio.
Urban gardening has long appealed
to Jill. She said, “I thought about it for
10 years, but felt I didn’t have enough
land to make a go of it.” Last year,
her daughter discovered OSU’s urban
garden initiatives and a 12-week market
garden training program that ran from
January through April. Jill signed up.
She learned how to make the most of
her land and how to grow food that is
free of chemicals.
This past spring, she put into practice
what she learned and started Jada’s
Garden Market. Her raised beds started
producing right away. She grows salad
greens, radishes, leeks, and herbs such
as basil, thyme, oregano, sage, parsley,
dill, rosemary, and tarragon. Next year,
she plans to expand by leasing land
from the Cleveland Land Bank close
to home.
“Good practices lead to the freshest
food. We eat what we grow, and I feel
better than ever,” said Jill. “Gardening
knowledge plus my business degree
equaled a super good opportunity.”
Both Needham Gardens & Jada’s
Garden Market are using a governmentfunded program called the Community
Vendor Assistance Program (CVAP),
which helps backyard growers sell their
produce at farmers markets without
the overhead or commitment. Any
backyard produce grower may apply,
and if accepted, their application fee
is waived. Then, a tent and table are
provided on any dates and at any
market of their choice. CVAP Funding is
available through a collaborative grant
with Growhio, the Ohio Department
of Agriculture (ODA), and seven area
farmers markets, including our market
here in Kamm’s Corners.
Stop by their market booth every
Sunday through October, from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Buy fresh from their gardens!

How My West Park
Community Garden
Grows
…by Erin McIntyre with help
from Karen Stross
Karen, the gardeners met several times
in late winter to work out logistics from
water and supplies to communication
with Laura’s Home to sharing seeds.
Thankfully, those of us who are first time
gardeners receive help from WPCG’s
experienced gardeners, including
Barb O’Patry, master gardener and
West Park resident. All are patient in
their explaining and generous in their
sharing of knowledge and expertise.
Late last April, we started digging
and sowing the seeds of our garden,
armed with as much information as we
could absorb and with the design of our
plot in hand. Over the last couple of
months, we have watched, weeded, and
waited to see tiny little seeds flourish
into gorgeous, delicious produce, not
only in our plot, but also in the plots
of our fellow gardeners. Currently
growing in the gardens are a variety of
tomatoes and peppers, basil, parsley,
cilantro, tarragon, chives, raspberries,
onions, beets, leeks, garlic, beans, peas,
tomatillos, chard, potatoes, flowers,
squash, cucumbers, carrots, pumpkins,
cabbage, eggplant, Brussels sprouts,
collards, lettuce and even peanuts.
Gardening is an art and a science. It
takes time and patience. It has setbacks
as well as great surprises. I still have
much to learn, but I am enjoying every
minute of being a part of the West Park
Community Garden. A special thank
you to Puritas Nursery who donated
seeds, to Karen for her energy and
leadership, and to Laura’s Home for
their partnership in this venture.
Please note, coming up on September
4th, WPCG will have an information
booth at Kamm’s Corners Farmers
Market. Please stop by to learn more
or say hello!
A friend returned to Cleveland
after a couple of years in Chicago and
asked me, “Does West Park have any
community gardens?”
“Hmm,” I thought, “I am not sure but
it’d be great if we did.”
A couple of weeks later, I came across
a piece of paper on Councilman Keane’s
desk announcing a new community
garden in West Park. “Perfect,” I
thought and called up the number on
the paper. Very shortly, I received an
enthusiastic phone call back from Karen
Stross, garden leader for the West Park
Community Garden (WPCG). She told
me there was one plot left and asked if
I wanted it. “Yes,” I replied, excited and
nervous to take on this task. I quickly
contacted my friend and said, “West
Park does have a community garden,
and I just said yes to the last plot in it.
It’s ours.”
It was time to learn how to garden,
and I had a huge learning curve ahead
of me. What attracted me to this garden
was not only where it was, but also how
it operated. Here is a community garden
where the gardeners are responsible
to one another for maintaining and
keeping the garden. Plus, it is on the
grounds of Laura’s Home, a place of
refuge for women and children in crisis.
The WPCG has nine individual garden
plots, eight are owned by members of
the community. Laura’s Home owns the
ninth. That garden is tended
by their clients and provides
an environment where they
can learn life skills, obtain
exercise, and grow produce
for their kitchen. In turn, the
community gardeners help
out with the Laura’s Home
plot and can donate produce
to their kitchen.
WPCG is part of Summer
Sprouts, a program
sponsored by the City of
Cleveland and the Ohio State
University Extension Office,
which provides plants, seeds,
and support to qualifying
gardens. Organized by
Erin’s West Park Community Garden plot.

T
hanks to everyone who came out to The
Hooley on Kamm’s Corners! The incessant
rain didn’t dampen the spirits of everybody determined to enjoy mouth watering eats, festive
music, interesting booths, children’s activities,
and more.
We had over 15 food vendors – over 40 vendors in total. The Pipes and Drums of the Cleveland
Police helped us with opening ceremonies, and the Cleveland Firefighters memorial Pipes and Drums
performed later in the day. The main stage at Rocky River Drive, featured a blend of Celtic music,
such as Mary’s Lane and New Barleycorn, as well as last year’s crowd favorite Cats on Holiday. Disco
Inferno finished up the evening.
The family entertainment area at West 165th Street kept kids occupied with loads of fun. There, the
family entertainment stage featured acts such as Seussical Junior performed by Newton D. Baker
School of Arts, Irish dancers, jugglers, and a DJ. There were bounce houses, craft tables, and magicians.
That day of music, food, and family friendly fun was sponsored by Fairview Hospital with assistance
from The City of Cleveland and Councilman Martin J. Keane. The family entertainment stage was
sponsored by Sherwin-Williams. See you next year on May 13th!

West Side Cleveland
Restaurants Volume 2
Released
Recycle Old
Computers & Tires
The West Park Historical Society has
just published West Side Cleveland
Restaurants, Volume II: Mama
Zappone and the Spaghetti Empire,
the latest installment in their series
on local eateries.
Learn the inside story of Tony’s
Diner and the Zappone Family
restaurants including Tony’s at
Kamm’s Corners, Tony’s Spaghetti
House, Mr. Z’s, The Thirteen
Colony, and more. In 1928
Josephine “Mama” Zappone
found herself widowed and deep in debt,
with seven children still at home. She took stock of her
skills and turned misfortune into success, creating one of Cleveland’s
best-known restaurants in the process. Josephine’s children would go on to
build a restaurant empire.
Also included is the nearly forgotten history of the Rockport Club, a notorious
“cheat spot” in Linndale, Ohio, and the shooting that ended the life of a vicious
local hoodlum.
The 60-plus pages of this paperbound book are packed with over 90 photos,
menus, and old ads. Candid never-before-published interviews with family
members, restaurant employees, and customers bring the story to life.
The book is $15 local pickup or $18 by First Class Mail. All proceeds
benefit the historical society. To order contact Gary Swilik at 216-252-9850,

Tom Ward, West
Park Blacksmith
…by Gary Swilik
For nearly half a century, Tom Ward’s
blacksmith shop was a landmark in West
Park. The one-story wood building was
located on the south side of Lorain
Avenue between West 140th and West
143rd. Older residents still recall
the clang of metal-on-metal echoing
through the neighborhood as Tom
hammered at his anvil, shaping red-hot
iron into farming utensils and wagon
wheel rims.
In later years, Tom turned his skills
to auto repair and bodywork. His shop
survived until the 1950s when it stood
like a working memorial to a bygone
era with a big square sliding doorway,
an earthen floor, and a glowing fire in
the forge, dimly illuminating the dark
interior of the shop. Various hammers,
tongs, tools, and belts hung from the
wooden walls.
Thomas Victor Ward was born in
Fishley, Staffordshire, England, on May
23, 1887. In 1908, he married Elsie
Bantoft. The groom was 21 and the
bride was 23. In 1909 Tom and Elsie
came to the US and settled in West
Park, Ohio. Tom was already a skilled
blacksmith when he arrived, having
learned the trade in England. In 1915
Tom opened his first blacksmith shop
at a busy crossroads in the center of
West Park.
“My grandfather’s first shop was
on the south side of Lorain Avenue
almost directly across from the Masonic
Temple at the intersection of Triskett,”
remembers Thomas Ward III. “My father
showed me the site when I was young.”
In about 1923, Tom Ward moved
his blacksmith shop to 14121 Lorain
Avenue (just east of the present Burger
King), where he would remain in
business for the next 35 years. He made
his living by hammering, bending, and
cutting metal to create whatever tools
or objects his customers needed.
Of course, blacksmiths are best
known for fitting horseshoes and
repairing wagons. Horses were still a
common form of transportation in the
early 1900s. Unfortunately for Tom, the
horse was rapidly being replaced by
the automobile. The local blacksmith
had become an endangered species.
Tom changed with the times and
applied his skills to the auto industry,
repairing cars, doing auto bodywork,
and operating a small junkyard.

Elsie and first-born child, George W. Ward, circa 1911.

“He also sold used cars and had
them sitting on the lot,” says Tom
Ward’s granddaughter Joan Kosky,
now of Rockport, Massachusetts. “He
repaired cars, too, but he was more
than a mechanic. He did bodywork,
fixed accident damage, did welding
and painting. To the left of the shop
was what we called ‘the junkyard.’ We
would sit in the cars and pretend we
were driving. Even at this time, about
1940, my grandfather still shod a horse
occasionally.”
“He was gregarious, honest, and
hard-working,” says Joan. “He wasn’t
tall but had arms on him like you
wouldn’t believe and was very strong.
I watched him pound red hot metal on
the anvil, sparks flying, many times.”
“I worked at the shop until I was 14
or 15,” says descendent, William G.
Ward, of Avon Lake, Ohio. “I learned to
drive playing in my grandfather’s tow
truck. He was more into cars by then
but still did some blacksmithing. He
did work for the National Metal and
Abrasive Company across the street.
And produced architectural metalwork
for the local building industry.”
“I remember helping my grandfather
make some figures for the bowling
alley at the southeast corner of West
130th and Brookpark Road,” William
goes on. “Figures of people bowling,
just stick figures, made out of flat iron.
They were mounted on the wall of the
bowling alley. I heard they might still
be in the basement of the building, but
I have no idea.”
“Tom Ward’s blacksmith shop was
right behind my grandparent’s house,”
recalls Jack Keane who grew up in the
neighborhood and still lives nearby. “I
never saw a horse in there but I saw
him hammering horseshoes on the
anvil. And I remember seeing three or
four old buggies still stored at the west
corner of the lot.”
Tom Ward and his wife Elsie lived
in West Park until about 1955 when
they moved to North Olmsted, Ohio.
However, Tom continued to commute
to his shop on Lorain Avenue. He didn’t
retire completely until 1958. The shop

and land was sold to local businessman
Sam Columbo. The old blacksmith shop
was torn down in the early 1960s when
Columbo put up the modern buildings
that still occupy much of the site today.
Tom and Elsie Ward were living in
North Ridgeville, Lorain County, Ohio,
when Tom passed away in 1961 at the
age of 74 years. In addition to his wife,
his son George, and daughter Myrtle
Kosky, he left nine grandchildren and
one great-grandchild. “We all loved my
grandfather,” says Thomas Ward III. “He
loved all us kids and liked to have us in
the shop working with him.”
“I adored him,” says Joan Kosky. “If
you could pick a grandfather, he is
the one you would pick. I still have an
engagement present he made for my
grandmother. A beautiful wood case
holding miniature replicas of all his
blacksmithing tools.”
Tom’s wife Elsie died in 1969, a
great-grandmother of thirteen. Tom
and Elsie Ward are buried side-by-side
at Sunset Memorial Cemetery in North
Olmsted, Ohio.

Annual Heroes Run Supports Memorial
The West Park Cleveland Police and Firefighters Memorial Fund was established
in 2002 to create a lasting Memorial to honor both Police Officers and Firefighters
who gave their lives in the line of duty while either serving the citizens of
Cleveland’s West Park area or while living in the community.
The Memorial itself is set in the Memorial Walkway along the west side of
Rocky River Drive. At its center is the Memorial, a granite and bronze sculpture
overlooking the scenic Metro Park. Designed by local artist and sculptor Paula
Blackmon it not only represents the tremendous sacrifice made by these Police
Officers and Firefighters, but also offers their families and the community a
gathering place to honor their memory.
Joining to support this memorial are the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s
Association, Firefighters Local 93, Federal, State, Local Government, and local
citizens. Also, to show appreciation and support for the West Park community, a
scholarship is given each year to a local school in the name of one of the fallen
Police Officers and Firefighters.
The Cleveland Heroes Run, a 5-mile and 2-mile Community Race, was created
to raise funds not only to make this tribute possible, but also to establish and
fund annual scholarships for family members of West Park Police Officers and
Firefighters whose names appear on the Memorial. The 10th Annual Cleveland
Heroes Run is set for Sunday, September 18th at 8:30 a.m. It begins and ends at
Saint Joseph Academy, 3430 Rocky River Drive. The event honors the memory
of West Park Cleveland Police and Firefighters who have died in the line of duty.
Visit the website at clevelandheroesrun.com To register for the 5-mile run or
2-mile run/walk, or call Tom Ross at 216-990-8117.
Kudos to
Sister Helen!
Recently, Councilman Martin
J. Keane, the citizens of the City
of Cleveland, and the Department
of Aging presented a framed
certificate of recognition to Sister
Helen Ann Brown for her years
of service and dedication to our
community. It read in part: “Sister
Helen Ann’s wisdom, experience,
and hard work continue to make
Cleveland a wonderful place to call
home. I invite all citizens to join me
in extending warm greetings to this
individual and wishing her many
more years of happiness, success,
and service.” Signed: Mayor Frank

Sister Helen Ann Brown
Sister Helen Ann served on
the citizen’s advisory council of the Department of Aging as a volunteer for
the past six years, representing Ward 19. “I did what I could for people in
the community, especially making sure seniors received information about
programs that enhance the quality of their lives,” she said. Despite some
challenging health issues, she missed only two meetings during her term.
She is a member of the Congregation of Saint Joseph on Rocky River Drive,
having joined the order in 1957. Since she visits the Kamm’s Corners Farmers
Market regularly, you may see her and join in our congratulations!

Rae-Ann Announces The REAL Founder
a New Care Focus
of West Park!
If you wondered about the mysterious
billboard on Rocky River Drive earlier this
summer, it was pointing to this. Continuing
37 years of specialized service to West Park,
Rae-Ann’s family-owned and operated
facility at 4650 Rocky River Drive is changing
its care focus to offer the “best skilled care
in the neighborhood.”
As of August 1st, Rae-Ann West Park
(formerly Rae-Ann Center) is providing
excellent skilled rehabilitation for both
short term/return to home patients, as well
as fulfilling long term resident needs. Less
than two miles from Fairview Hospital,
the facility offers a perfect place to safely
transition from a hospital stay to home.
Long-term care will continue to be a focus
at the facility, with exceptional skilled
nursing care.
Rae-Ann West Park will soon be breaking
ground on a new 1,600 sq. ft. state-of-the-art
therapy room for physical, occupational,
and speech therapy. The design includes
cathedral ceilings and high windows to
bring in a myriad of natural light, creating
a positive, motivating therapy space.
Outpatient therapy will also be offered. (See
their centerfold ad.) For information about
this or any of five Rae-Ann facilities, call the
admission coordinator at 440-835-3004.
Lorain Avenue, roughly from present
West 137th to West 143rd Street. The
red brick home he built in 1842 still
stands in that area today. John M.
West, and his wife, Frances, had eight
children in that house, raising six of
them to adulthood.
John passed away on his farm in
1890. “Fannie” followed him in 1902.
Ironically the man who put the “West”
in West park is not buried in the community he founded. He’s not even
buried on the west side! His weathered
but still legible gravestone stands in
East Cleveland Cemetery.
How did Mr. West end up so far east?
John’s parents were early settlers in
Euclid Township and had purchased
lots in the then prestigious East
Cleveland Cemetery. Apparently he
simply chose to be buried in the available space beside his parents.
So who the heck is Benjamin West?
Census records, biographies, obituaries and burial records fail to place such
a person in our area’s past . Apparently
a newspaper writer in 1958 made an
error and it’s been repeated ever since.
So step aside Benjamin, it’s time for
old John M. West to get some credit!
…by Gary Swilik
Many know the story of old West
Park. Early settler Benjamin West
bought a 600-acre farm in Rockport
Township, reserving 25 acres as his
“front yard.” He added an artificial
lake, complete with row boats, forming
a park-like wooded preserve at present
Lorain Avenue and West 138th Street.
“West Park,” as it came to be called,
provided the name for the short-lived
city that grew up in the area. West Park
was annexed by the City of Cleveland
in 1923.
All accurate except for one important detail. A careful check of historical records reveals West Park’s actual
namesake was not Benjamin but John
M. West! The many sources that list
Benjamin as founder of West Park
are wrong!
John M. West was born in 1811 in
county Leitrim, Ireland. He emigrated
to America with his parents in 1826
where the outdoor life held more appeal for him. The land he bought and
farmed ran along the south side of

Expert Care
Can Smooth a
Bumpy Road to
Parenthood
You have your mother’s eyes, her
animated personality, and her curly
brown hair. But you also may have
inherited her health—for good and
bad. And when you’re looking for
similarities, it’s important to think
whole-body, especially if your mother
had difficulties during her pregnancy.
Pregnancy is billed as a beautiful
experience punctuated by simple
joys like feeling the first kick or
picking colors for the nursery. But
complications can sometimes create
stress for soon-to-be parents. Cleveland
Clinic Maternal-Fetal Medicine experts
at Fairview Hospital offer state-ofthe-art care and emotional support
to families facing underlying medical
conditions, difficulties with poor
pregnancy outcomes, or suspected or
known problems with mother or baby.
High-risk pregnancy-related services
include preconception planning, early
screening, pregnancy management
(primary or consultative), and delivery.
The following checklist can help you
determine if you could have a high-risk
pregnancy.
• Women over 35 years old are at increased
risk of giving birth to a child with a chromosomal anomaly
• Women under 17 are at increased risk of
experiencing intrauterine growth restriction
• Women carrying more than one baby
are at risk of experiencing a number of
pregnancy-related complications, including preterm labor
• Women with a chronic health condition
such as diabetes, heart problems, or a
blood-clotting disorder
• Women with a history of gynecological
problems such as pelvic inflammatory
disease (PID), endometriosis, or large
symptomatic fibroids
• Women with a history of pregnancy loss
(miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, preeclampsia or stillbirth) or premature birth
* Women with an STD, including HIV, that
could be transmitted to the baby during
pregnancy or at the time of birth
• Women who have had two or more
second-trimester abortions
• Women who have conceived while using
an IUD
• Women who have a child with a genetic
disorder or are a carrier
Any pregnancy can become high
risk. You should call your caregiver
immediately if you experience vaginal
bleeding, a leakage of fluid, pain in
the abdomen or shoulder or painful,
urgent urination.
If you are expecting, regardless of
whether or not you are high-risk, here
are some tips for a healthy pregnancy:
1. Take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily.
This B vitamin prevents spinal and brain
birth defects.
2. Get 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily.
Take a supplement or eat dairy and leafy
greens, because it isn’t included in most
prenatal vitamins.
3. Eat only pasteurized cheeses and fully
cooked meats. Bacteria can lead to premature delivery or miscarriage.
4. Avoid raw fish and shellfish. They may
contain a parasite that can cause infant
blindness or brain damage.
5. Follow a low-fat, high-fiber diet, broken
into several small meals a day to help
prevent nausea.
6. Don’t smoke or drink. Both can cause
birth defects, and smoking can lead to
premature birth or infant death.
7. Don’t change cat litter. Parasites are
found here too.
8. Sleep on your side to reduce pressure on
your back from your belly weight.
9. Use a seat belt correctly. Place the lap
strap under your belly and the chest strap
off to the side of your belly (never directly
over it) and between your breasts.
10. Lastly, exercise to improve circulation,
mood, and energy.
For any pregnancy, the Cleveland
Clinic team at Fairview’s unique teambased approach gives women many
advantages.
Women who have significant medical
problems and/or a history of serious
pregnancy complications benefit from
careful planning and appropriate
treatment prior to pregnancy to prevent
or significantly decrease the risk for
problems. Women carrying babies with
known or potential health issues have
immediate access to experts in the care
30
of newborns, including neonatologists,
pediatric surgeons and subspecialists,
who can ensure the best possible
outcome. For example, if a baby has
been found to have a heart defect, the
team includes pediatric cardiologists
and cardiac surgeons who will help
further counsel the family, prepare
them for the child’s care after birth,
and provide any necessary intervention.
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine team
includes perinatologists, genetic
counselors, and medical geneticists,
neonatologists (experts in the care
of newborns), pediatric surgeons in
a variety of subspecialties, licensed
sonographers, and perinatal nurses.
They offer comprehensive care in
a warm and supportive environment
close to home, with offices throughout
Northeast Ohio, including one at
Fairview Hospital. To schedule a
consultation, please call 216-444-6601.

St. Mary Romanian
Festival August 19-21
Folks at St. Mary’s promise you a
new experience when you attend St.
Mary Romanian Festival at St. Mary
Romanian Orthodox Cathedral. “We
really want you to give us a try this
year,” said parishioner Betty Catana.
You will love the authentic
Romanian cuisine!
It is diverse, blending traditions
it has come into contact with but
maintaining its own character.
Greatly influenced by Balkan cuisine
as well as that of other European
neighbors, Romanian delicacies
include grilled mititei (not a burger,
not a sausage, they’re, well, they’re
mititei!), mamaliga (polenta baked
with sour cream and cheese), tasty
homemade sausages, chicken, and,
of course, the ever popular stuffed
cabbage. This year, the volunteers
will prepare about 4,000 of them,
entailing a 3-day process and more
than 400 pounds of meat.
Try the pastries!
We’re willing to bet you will
NEVER find a richer, more varied
selection in Cleveland! All homebaked by St. Mary’s ladies. The
elephant ears alone are a reason to
come to the festival!
Try the wines & beer of Romania!
We invite you to relax in our Wine
Garden to sample award-winning
wines while enjoying the pastry. And

S potlights ! Scout Extraordinaire!
Jonathan Andrew Higginbotham:
Jonathan has been involved in scouting most of his life.
In first grade, he joined The Cub Scouts at Saint Vincent
DePaul. After a year in Pack 160, it dissolved for lack of
numbers. A year later, he joined Our Lady of Angels (OLA)
Cub Scout Pack 182, where he moved through the ranks
of Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos. In the fifth grade, he
achieved the Arrow of Light, crossing over to Troop 82 at
OLA, thus becoming a full fledged Boy Scout.
As such, he participated in many campouts and events.
He helped younger scouts in the MetroParks during Cub
Scout week with hiking, knot tying, fire building, archery,
and overnight camping. Over time, Jonathan held many
positions such as scribe, librarian, assistant patrol
leader as well as patrol leader, and the highest position
of all as the senior patrol leader. At 14, Jonathan began
working as a CIT for the Beaumont Scout Reservation
in Ashtabula, Ohio. He has continued to work there for
the past four years.
While at Camp Falling Rock, Jonathan made it through
the program ‘Fox Fire’ as a mountain man living in the
past where he endured cooking over an open fire and
living without technology. This encouraged him to do
his Eagle Scout Project. The project consisted of four
segments to serve a whole. Weeding and planting, stone
bordering, creating a flowerbed, and leveling stones.
These were done in the Peace Garden at Metro Catholic
Parish in Cleveland.

Jonathan achieved the Honor of Merit during his junior
year and became a member of the Eagle Scout Class of
2010. He graduated from Lakewood High School, majoring
in CISCO Networking and technology, which includes
the A+ certification. He has taken pre-college courses
such as Algebra 2, Tech Prep, and Creative Writing. He
will attend Cuyahoga Community College and plans to
eventually transfer to Cleveland State University majoring
in CISCO as a certified networking engineer.
If You See
Something –
Say Something!
Did
You
Know?
The Cleveland Police have
a message for you: Please call
whenever you see or hear unusual
activity. Something that may seem
trivial could help crack a case!
A local resident
arrived home,
heard the screen
door slam,
Crime Stoppers and watched a
stranger run and
scramble over
the back fence.
She figured
there was no harm done – he hadn’t
gotten into her house – so she never
called the police. Later, she learned
that a neighbor’s house had been
burglarized at about the same time
as her incident.
Always remember – “If you see
something, say something!”

ENJOY LIFE AGAIN WITH
dental implants
IF YOU HAVE LOST MULTIPLE TEETH DUE TO TRAUMA,
PERIODONTAL DISEASE OR DECAY, DENTAL IMPLANTS
OFFER A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
Unlike other solutions, implant supported teeth are
permanently fixed in place. They do not slip or click.
Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural
teeth, and can last a lifetime. The best part is the
procedure can be done in one day, in one convenient
location at West Park Dental with Drs. you know and
trust! Make the best choice for your dental implants.
“I can’t believe how wonderful it is to be able to smile
and eat real food without worrying about my dentures
falling out! You are the greatest! Thank you for making
everything so easy.”
