Need of Assistance
Tuesday from 4-7PM
Mary is a local artist that has been involved in
rescuing animals for 30 years. For the past 15
years, she has focused on working on the Flats
stray and feral cat population. Due to the
downturn of the economy, she has been
inundated with cats that have been abandoned or
dumped by their owners, many of which have
been abandoned on her doorstep.
Mary is working very closely with the APL and
incorporating their TNR Program, which is
their Trap, Neuter & Release Program. She
currently has 23 feeding stations that she tends
to every night to feed over 50 cats in the TNR
Program, which takes her over two hours. Every
night 40 pounds of dry food and more than a
case of canned cat food is distributed amongst
these cats.
Throughout the day, Mary is medicating cats,
hand-feeding kittens, cleaning litter boxes,
feeding, cleaning cat cages, picking up supplies
as well as running to the vet for spays/neuters
and vet appointments. We are desperately
seeking volunteers to help us in any way with care
giving, and we are also looking for assistance
with feeding the cats at the TNR stations. We are
also seeking any kind of donations that will
ensure that she can continue with this program
and continue to rescue the abandoned cats in the
Tremont area. There are plenty of adoptable cats
and kittens waiting for a home. Please send us
an e-mail at [email protected] and
we will gladly send you a list and pictures
of kitties awaiting adoption. Monetary
donations will be used for continued veterinary
care and feedings, and can be sent to:

Bergen Village Phase II
Breaks Ground
For years, the corner of Literary and
West 5th has been the focal point of
Tremont’s new construction boom.
Highlights have included the Tremont
Ridge townhomes, Literary Bluffs,
Bergen Village and the newest addition,
Bergen Village Phase II. Bergen Village
is Tremont’s largest new construction
community. Current residents enjoy
2300-2500 square foot homes with big,
open floor plans and skyline and valley
views. Adding to their offerings, Bergen
Village is now building 3 modified floor
plans with a contemporary twist and
extensive energy efficient features (A, B
and C units). Base prices range from
$273,900- $289,900.
After months of planning and design,
the ground breaking (and dirt flying) at
Bergen Village Phase II has become a
catalyst for more than 1.6 million dollars
in new construction in the immediate
vicinity, according to Tremont West
Development Director Sammy Catania.
New development includes 3 custom built
single family homes and a soon to be
started commercial renovation.
In celebration of Bergen Village Phase
II, and new construction in Tremont,
Howard Hanna would like to invite you to
attend a GRAND OPENING
CELEBRATION, NOVEMBER 4TH,
5-8PM. Tour the new units, enjoy
delicious drinks and appetizers from premiere local restaurants and meet some of
the builders and architects responsible
for these exciting happenings. No RSVP
necessary. Just stop by and have fun!

Photographed above is Congressman Dennis J.
Kucinich recognizing Julia Jozepha Hadam Kusek on her
birthday last month.
The record states:
Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Julia Jozepha
Hadam Kuzek, lifelong resident of Cleveland’s historic
Tremont neighborhood, as we join with her in celebration
of her 96th birthday. Mrs. Kusek was born on October 2,
1914, to Polish immigrant parents. Three years earlier, in
1911, her mother, Jozepha and father, Ignatz, made the
long journey across the Atlantic far from their Polish
homeland, and settled in Cleveland, Ohio, like thousands
of immigrants did—with the common dream and hope for a
better life in America.
They raised Julia and her two younger siblings with an
unwavering connection to and abiding love for, the culture,
language and traditions of their beloved Polish homeland.
By the time she was in the 8th grade, the Great
Depression had severely devastated most communities across
the country, including Cleveland. With her family struggling to
survive, Mrs. Kusek had to quit school in the 8th grade to go to
work to help provide for the family. Her lifelong love of fashion
along with her determined spirit, led her to work while taking
classes and later graduate from the Darvis School of Fashion
and Design, where she graduated with honors. She designed
and made beautiful clothes for her family; her talent reflected
in her daughters’ dresses, worn at school events, holidays and
special occasions.
Mrs. Kusek married Stanley Kusek on June 24, 1939. They
were devoted to each other until his passing in 1985.
Together, they raised three children; Thaddeus, Diane and
Carol. Ahead of her time, she worked in May Company’s toy
department while raising her children—and was a loyal
employee for forty years. Beyond her family and career, she
made time to volunteer at St. John Cantuis rectory, school and
convent, and cooked for every special event. Her family, faith
and Polish heritage combine to be the foundation of her life—
she remains very close to her children, eight grandchildren and
eight great-grandchildren.
Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and
celebration of Julia Jospha Hadam Kusek of the Tremont
neighborhood in Cleveland, as we celebrate her 96th birthday.
Her kindness and joy for living continues to be a shining
example for all of us to follow.

Pilgrim Church
Renovates Courtyard
The Gardeners of Greater Cleveland recently
renovated the small courtyard garden behind Pilgrim
Church. Please see the before and after photographs
above. The space is used by families at the
Interchurch Hospitality Network. Kurtz Brothers
donated materials such as granite for the patio and
foundation stone for the raised beds. Bluestone
Perennials supported the project with some tough,
drought tolerant plants that should thrive in this shady
courtyard. For more information about the project

A new women’s clothing boutique
opens in Tremont. Evie Lou embraces
women of all sizes with emphasis on
items made in the USA.
There’s a new girl in the neighborhood, and
she’s all about creating style across the size
spectrum. Evie Lou is now open at 2153
Professor Avenue. This 1,100-square-feet
contemporary women’s boutique– with items
for men to arrive soon! – offers sizes 2 to 2X
and emphasizes cozy items made in the
USA. Owner Kim Crow is a former fashion
journalist whose Style column ran in the Plain
Dealer for 6 years.
“I really just wanted to offer the clothing that
readers have been telling me they had a
hard time finding -- clothes that don’t sacrifice
comfort for style or style for comfort, in a
wide range of sizes,” says Crow. “We’re not
the store for an office power suit, but easy-towear clothes with serious style.”
The brands have been curated
with an eye toward cozy chic –
soft organic cottons, plush cashmere blends and sueded French
Terries. Evie Lou is proud to offer
a mix of organic lines
manufactured in the USA,
including Stewart & Brown, Clary
Sage Organics, Pete & Greta and
Twinkle by Wenlan. The majority
of the accessories are made by
artisans both locally and nationally
known, with new pieces arriving
weekly.
“I’m thrilled to be in Tremont,
and everyone has been so
welcoming!” says Crow. “I’m
particularly excited to be near
Banyan Tree. It’s just one of the
best boutiques in the region, and
Christie Murdoch is seriously my
retail idol. Everyone there has
been so helpful and enthusiastic,
I’m incredibly grateful for their
support.”
While Crow’s husband thought
the store should be named
“Mid-Life Crisis” or “Expensive
Sweatpants,” Crow instead opted to
name it in honor of her niece, Evie Lou
Thornton, a very fashionable four-yearold, whose mantra is “Me just wanna be
all comfy… but still wook nice.” And
what woman wouldn’t agree with that?

TREMONT PLAV POST 30
HONORS THEIR OWN
The Tremont PLAV Post 30 is located on Lincoln Park at the intersection of
Starkweather Avenue and West 11th Street.
The Polish Legion of American Veterans, U.S.A., Department of Ohio, will be
honoring Patricia Novak and Stanley Ryncarz as Chapter and Post 31 Woman of the
Year and Veteran of the Year. The PLAV is one of only 48 veterans’ organizations in
the United States that are chartered by Act of Congress.
U.S. Army Vietnam veteran Stanley P. Ryncarz was born in Malynski, Poland. With
his parents, he was taken by train in a box car to a concentration camp at Dachau,
Germany in June, 1943, then later to a labor camp.
The family immigrated to the U.S.A. in August 1949 and settled on a farm near
Baraboo, Wisconsin. In 1950, they moved to a farm near Watertown, Wisconsin.
They moved again in 1951 to the Tremont area of Cleveland. Stanley attended
St. John Cantius grade school and graduated from St. John Cantius High School.
From 1962 to 1966 he attended Fenn College Technical Institute as part of a 4 year
apprenticeship program.
In 1967, he was asked by Uncle Sam to take his basic training at Fort Knox,
Kentucky. He then attended two schools at Fort Rucker, Alabama for aircraft
maintenance, then assigned to 128thtwoAviation of the 1st AVN Brigade at Phu-Loi,
Vietnam. In February 1969 he was sent to Vang-Tau for 2 weeks of schooling for
overhauling jet engines. He was then reassigned to the 3rd Sqd, 17th Air Cavalry,
1st AVN Brigade at Di-An until August 1969.
Upon returning from the service, he attended Cuyahoga Community College and
Cleveland State University part and full time from 1970 to 1976. In 1976 he
obtained a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from CSU.
While attending Tri-C in 1971, Stanley was an exchange student at Yagotlion
University in Krakow, Poland. This was the first exchange of American Polonia
students since 1939, the start of World War II. During his 7 week stay at Krakow, he
met his wife Victoria. They were married in July 1974 in Poland.
Ryncarz joined Pulaski Post #30 in the fall of 1969. He has held most offices in
the Post, including Post Commander. He volunteers at Wade Park and assists with
fundraisers, the 'Evening in Warsaw’ and Veteran and Woman of the Year.
He and his family have been parishioners at St. John Cantius Church since 1951.
He makes pierogis for Advent, Lent, Taste of Tremont Street Festival and annual
Polish Heritage Festival over Labor Day weekend. He is a life member and present
Commander of Polish Veterans Alliance Post 1, and member of Vietnam Veterans
of America Chapter 15, which meets at Pulaski Post 30.
Stanley's family includes his wife Victoria, sons Stanley and Jack and 3
grandchildren, soon to have 2 more.
Patricia Novak was born in the Buckeye-Woodhill area of Cleveland, the daughter
of Thomas and Theresa Sciranko, both of Slovak descent. She attended
St. Ladislaus Church and grade school, Marymount High School and Jane Adams
School of Nursing. Her prom date, Tom Novak, later became her husband. They
married in November, 1960. They became proud parents of three sons and one
daughter, who have blessed them with four amazing grandchildren.
Her only sibling, a brother, was a Cleveland fire fighter, husband, father and
veteran. He is deceased. Throughout her children's school years she volunteered in
school and community organizations and functions. Pat's nursing career was spent
at several area hospitals, a nursing home for the aged and private home care.
In 2003 she joined PLAV Auxiliary of Chapter 30, welcoming the new friendships
and the opportunity to volunteer when needed. This includes greeting the veterans
at Wade Park and Brecksville Medical Centers at Coffee Hour, Bingo and Ward
Treats. In this way we say thank you for your service to our country. Pat has served
as a delegate for two national conventions, two state conventions and a guest at a
NEC meeting.
In 2004 she accepted the position as Historian for her Chapter. Albums entered
have earned the Chapter a second and first place. Currently, at the state level, Pat
serves as Sergeant of Arms. “It has been an honor to have been selected Woman of
the Year by my PLAV Chapter. Thank you!”
A Banquet honoring them will be held on December 4, 2010 at the Birchwood
Banquet & Party Center, 7540 Northfield Road (State Route 8), Walton
Hills, Ohio 44146, (one block north of Alexander Road). The price per ticket is

reservations, call Mr. Dick Boll, 440-885-5925 by December 01, 2008. Doors open

The Central Tremont Block Club held a brief meeting at the
Treehouse in September. The block club discussed crime and
safety and winter maintenance of commercial properties. The
block club plans to further discuss these issues at their October
meeting. Bob Shores is scheduled to attend as Tremont’s
safety coordinator. Also, at the October meeting, the block club
plans to provide an update on parking in the neighborhood, an

next meeting will be held on November 16th at 6:30pm at

Duck Island
In late October a special meeting was held to discuss the
proposed move of GATEWAY ANIMAL CLINIC from its current
site to 1819 Abbey Avenue (at the western end of the Abbey
Bridge – southeast corner of the intersection of Abbey and
West 19th Street) in advance of the coming prep work for the
new Innerbelt bridge. This was the only topic for this special
meeting. Representatives from Vayda Architects were in
attendance along with Development Director, Sammy Catania,
from Tremont West. The guests presented information and
answered residents’ concerns and questions. The block club is
now on a Winter Break and will resume meeting on the first
Wednesday in May, 2011. If important items come up during this
period, a special meeting will be called if necessary. For more

The HBR and MCC Block Clubs distributed flyers to their
neighbors before the October meeting and as a result,
welcomed several new faces to the meeting! The block clubs
heard from Bob Keiser from the City of Cleveland Landmarks
Commission. Mr. Keiser spoke to the block club about local and
national historic districts and provided handouts with information
to everyone in attendance. Mr. Keiser’s staff is conducting
property surveys in the block club area and will join the block
club again in early 2011 to discuss the possibility about portions
of HBR and MCC becoming a historic district. Councilman Joe
Cimperman was also a guest at the meeting. The Councilman
answered questions and provided updates on the scheduled
improvements to Clark Field, including the Towpath Trail and
spoke of the free smoke alarms available through the City. The

Ed Schmidt from Motor Sales of Cleveland located at
2410 Scranton Rd. attended the meeting to discuss his request
for a proposed zoning variance to allow used cars to be parked
in the front setback of the building of his existing car sales lot.
The membership supported the variance with conditions of
limiting no more than two cars to be displayed, decorative
fencing, and lighting. Ed expressed that this business will have
a five-year life cycle at this location. Ed is still planning on
opening a restaurant/bar on that corner in the future and will
end up needing the area to meet parking requirements at that
time. Chris Lieb from the Tremont Tap House updated the
membership on the progress of their parking lot. The Tap
House made application to B&H, and is awaiting a
non-conformance letter to request a variance from the Board of
Zoning Appeals. Sammy Catania, Development Director at
TWDC updated the block club on a meeting held with Ohio
Awning regarding the use of their off-street parking lot. Area
businesses were also in attendance, Tremont Tap House, Mutt
Hutt, and Eclectic Boutique. The goal is to utilize and upgrade
the existing parking lot with many site improvements, and the
businesses to utilize the lot for their employees parking.
Robert Rodgers gave a update on code enforcement regarding
area businesses and residential properties. The membership
reviewed the revised Ward 14 Demolition list for October sent
to us by Johanna Hamm, the Executive Assistant to Ward 14
Councilman Brian Cummins. The membership requested that
Robert Rodgers continue his great efforts in seeking
compliance. Robert added this would be the last month he
would attend the block club’s meeting because his positions
funding will be terminated in December of this year.
Councilman Cummins did not attend the block club meeting
due to a conflict. Chairperson Henry Senyak tried to address
the complicated matters of program services being provided in
Ward 14 Tremont. Henry informed the membership on the
neighborhood engagement meetings Councilman Cummins is
having with his NPI paid consultants in the matter. Code
Enforcement and Vacant Land Reutilization services will not be
provided out of TWDC after December 2010. These services
will be provided out of the Detroit-Showery satellite office
located in Ward 14. The members want continued service by
Tremont West and will request TWDC to find alternative
funding to continue to provide the same existing services to
Ward 14 Tremont. Councilman Cummins and the DSCDO are
creating a Ward 14 Housing Committee and are requesting
representation from our block club to participate with other
Ward 14 residents to determine goals and strategies on
housing stock, violations, and demolitions for Ward 14. The
next meeting will be Thursday, November 11th, 6pm at
Zion Church.
Metro North
Our Special Guest at the late September meeting was Henry
Senyak, Chair of the neighboring Lincoln Heights Block Club
and a Board member of Tremont West Development Corp. He
spoke to us about a City effort to bring all car repair shops into
compliance with code and safety standards. Mr. Senyak also
works diligently with Cleveland Public Power (CPP) to maintain
and upgrade street lighting in our neighborhood. He shared
information about this work, including lists of broken and
burned out street lights as well as presenting a variety of the
lighting fixtures in use in the neighborhood and City. We’re
grateful for his advocacy on residents’ behalf – thanks, Henry!
We also had an update on housing conditions in our area—
and efforts to improve properties. At the October 26th meeting
there was an update on the water pipes project, which had
posed both inconveniences and safety hazards to area
residents (our thanks to residents, Adam Harvey, Sandy Smith,
and Jean Brandt, for holding the Water Department
accountable and moving to a successful resolution of these
various problems). Participants nominated individuals and
organizations for the annual Good Neighbor Awards 2010 to
be presented at the November meeting, and they made plans
for the upcoming Holiday Potluck Meal. Good news folks! A
street in our neighborhood has been chosen for a model
blocks grant! Watch for more details to come! For more
information about our block club meetings and
activities, please contact Chair, Sandy Smith –
[email protected] – and Co-Chair, Sue
Krosel – [email protected] – or contact Scott
at Tremont West at 216-575-0920. Please join us
for our next meeting, the Good Neighbor Awards,
and Holiday Potluck on Tuesday, Nov. 30th –
6pm – at the ground floor meeting room of St.
Michael’s Church. We look forward to your visit!
Old Tremont
Old Tremont Block Club is taking a brief break from their
regularly scheduled meetings and looks forward to resuming
their meetings soon. If you are interested in becoming
involved or would like to take a leadership role in the Old
Tremont Block Club, please call Kristen at TWDC.
South of Jefferson
The South of Jefferson Block Club hosted a public meeting
regarding traffic concerns in Tremont before their October
block club meeting. Commissioner Rob Mavec updated
everyone on projects in the neighborhood – his department,
along with TWDC, is applying for several grants to implement
portions of the TLCI project. In addition, he will again conduct
traffic counts on West 7th Street since residents expressed
concerns of speeding and truck traffic on the street. At the
South of Jefferson Block Club meeting in October, members
heard updates from the last TWDC Safety Committee meeting.
The block discussed a new location for their 2011 meetings.
Ideas include St. Theodosius, Tremont Pointe, and The Flying
Monkey Pub. Several residents are further exploring these
options. The block club will vote in the coming months. The
block club also discussed their holiday party and will vote at
the next meeting. The block club continues to take orders for
South of Jefferson t-shirts and continues to hold 50/50 raffles
to raise funds for t-shirts. Bring a dollar or two to the next
meeting, if you want to try your luck. The next South of
Jefferson Block Club meeting will be held on Tuesday,
November 9th, 7pm at Post #58.

convergence-continuum,
Tremont’s professional
theatre company,
presents the Ohio premiere of
Brainpeople,
a surreal psychological drama ,
at the Liminis.
Thursday night shows free for
Tremont residents.
Join us for a surreal and
magical journey at
convergence-continuum as we
present the Ohio premiere of
BRAINPEOPLE, by Jose Rivera.
The time: the present. The
place: a faded penthouse in a
violent, militaristic Los
Angeles. A rich and beautiful
young woman has invited two
carefully selected strangers,
one for her lovely eyes, the
other for her lovely hands,
to a very special dinner
commemorating the death of
her parents. She has offered
the two strangers $20,000 each
to attend (and complete) the
bizarre annual feast. The result
is an engrossing journey into
the traumatized inner realms of
the three very different, solitary
women that is alternately
surreal, humorous, startling and
magical.
Brainpeople runs at 8 p.m.
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
through November 13 at the
Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd. Tickets
are $15 general admission, $12 for
students and seniors (65+). For
reservations and information call
216-687-0074 or visit

Thursday shows are free for

Issue Media Group, one
of the nation's fastest
growing media companies,
announces the launch of
their newest regional online
magazine, Fresh Water.
Each Thursday, the
publication will offer up a
fresh wave of stories
covering Northeast Ohio's
most compelling people,
businesses, organizations,
and neighborhood
developments.
"As our name not so
subtly suggests," says
Douglas Trattner,
Managing Editor, "we
intend to redirect the
conversation from negative
narratives about our city,
economy, and people to
those that tell a very
different tale. Fresh Water's
story – Cleveland's story –
is one of constant change
fueled by a compelling cast
of big thinkers."
Fresh Water, devoted to
highlighting the unique
assets of Greater
Cleveland, joins Issue
Media Group’s existing
online publications in
Toronto, Pittsburgh, Detroit,
Philadelphia and more than
a dozen other cities. IMG
speaks to creative, highly
mobile and curious people
who are interested in what
the growing companies are,
when innovation is taking
place, and where unique
neighborhood transformations are taking root.
Managing Editor Douglas
Trattner, native-born
Clevelander, has been a
fulltime freelance
writer for the past
10 years. In
addition to writing
for Scene, Plain
Dealer, Cleveland
Magazine, and Miami Herald, he
authored the recently released
guidebook Moon Cleveland. Trattner
leads a locally-based staff that
includes Development News editor
Frank W. Lewis, Innovation & Job
News editor Diane DiPiero, and
Managing Photographer Bob Perkoski.
“Cleveland is a Midwestern city that
is in the midst of an exciting
reawakening, and Fresh Water wants
to uncover the next-gen thinkers, doers
and innovators who are transforming
this region into a new-economy
powerhouse,” says Issue Media Group
Meetings—Special Events
cofounder Brian Boyle. “Fresh
Water will connect readers, both
inside and outside the region, with
the latest news on emerging
sectors and industries – from the
creative economy, design, arts
and culture to life sciences,
sustainability and emerging
technology – as well as the latest
neighborhood developments."
“There is so much happening in
Greater Cleveland that flies just
below the radar," adds Trattner.
"But now that news has an outlet
with Fresh Water. Our aim is to
give people more reasons to
consider Cleveland the best
place on the planet to live, work,
play and visit."
Fresh Water is available for free
each week by email and at
www.freshwatercleveland.com.
