Saab of North Olmsted: A New Era Begins!
The dawn of an era for an iconic auto brand is good news
for new car customers in the West Shore.
General Motors and Spyker Cars NV announced last week
that they have finalized the deal for Spyker to purchase Saab
Automobile AB.
Going forward, Saab and Spyker will operate under the
Spyker (AMS:SPYKR) umbrella, and Spyker will assume responsibility for Saab operations. The previously announced
wind down of Saab operations has ended.
“This is a great day for Saab employees, dealers and suppliers, and a great day for millions of Saab customers and fans
worldwide,” said Jim Levine, General Sales Manager of Saab
of North Olmsted.
The array of high-tech features on the 9-5 offer includes: an aircraftThe official transfer of ownership from General Motors

eLSD, the industry-leading all-wheel-drive system.
The 9-5 model is generating buzz world-wide.
“We expect to have them here in June,” said Levine. “It is a brand new design from the ground
up. It is a very impressive vehicle. Starting with world class safety right through to its fully turbo
charged engine design, everything about this car says ‘class.’”
The international press agrees. “This new, larger 9-5 looks incredibly crisp in the metal. With
clean flanks, a distinctive, cantilevered roofline paired with wraparound-look glass and handsome head- and tail lamp detailing, this is an attractive, cohesive design sans adornment – no
gaping ducts, fender vents, or protruding aero addenda are in evidence anywhere. Very much in the
Scandinavian mold, the 9-5 pulls
design elements from the
showstopping Saab Aero-X concept coupe and puts them in a
real-world package,” writes Chris
Paukert on AutoBlog.
The all new Saab 9-5 sedan

“Why lose weight that does not address your body-fat ratios
and just makes a temporarily smaller you? Or why try a fad
diet you can’t maintain over time?” asks Mark.
“We seek to create and maintain trusted and valuable
relationships with the clients we train,” said Mark. “We know
that not everyone wants to be an elite athlete, so we focus on
developing confidence, discipline and a work ethic that will

Caring For Our Neighbors
This past year Community West Foundation gave $5.6 million to our community, supporting Fairview
Hospital, Lutheran Hospital, and 46 charitable agencies providing direct service to the needy.
Here are some examples of the important ways Community West Foundation impacts our community:
Would you like to
Feed the Hungry?
On a daily basis, one in every six people in Cleveland are hungry and can’t afford to buy food. Often, these residents are confronted by the number of
days in the month outlasting their money and food supplies. At a time of increased need, people look to food banks, soup kitchens, and other local
organizations for food and assistance.
Programs that address the crucial need of providing food for hungry individuals throughout Cuyahoga and Lorain counties received funding through
Community West Foundation.
Feeding People and Changing Lives
Food became a more critical need this year with the downturn in the economy. Many people who never thought they
would ever need assistance for food turned to Second Harvest Food Bank. It is the largest regional hunger relief organization
with a network of more than 110 member agencies serving Lorain County as well as Crawford, Erie, and Huron Counties.
Community West Foundation provided $20,000 to make sure that people in our area will not go hungry, and our
commitment will help keep the food pantry stocked for our neighbors in Lorain County.
Second Harvest Food Bank is an amazing organization that distributes more than 4 million pounds of donated food and
grocery products annually, and supports nearly 160 programs including food pantries, emergency shelters, and after-school programs.
In 2008, 7,726 families sought emergency food assistance in Lorain County – a 14% increase from 2007, and it is expected to
double in 2009. Children represent 42% of those served, and seniors represent 12%. In 2009, Second Harvest distributed an
estimated 2.7 million pounds of food equal to 2.1 million meals to 101 programs in Lorain County.
Second Harvest Food Bank
Connecting Residents to Resources
The Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland is a coordinated network of
54 food pantries and hot meal programs, plus 60 affiliate sites that feed 60,000
people per month - 25,000 of whom are children.
As the largest provider of direct emergency food service in Cuyahoga
County, the Hunger Network is the safety net for 75% of our communities’ most
vulnerable citizens. The Network is able to provide four meals for every dollar
raised. Requests for emergency food have risen 8% on the west side since last
fall, while at the same time the cost of food has risen 10%. Community West
Foundation grant funding of $14,847 for the West Side Hunger Initiative will
provide more food for eleven pantry sites, nourishing our west side neighbors.
Volunteers from the Hunger Network gather to prepare
donations that will feed the hungry.
Offering a Lifeline of Hope with Nutrition Program
Nueva Luz Urban Resource Center is a faith-based Latino-focused agency serving our west side community through its mission
of “challenging the root causes of systemic poverty through holistic and culturally competent service and community building.”
The cornerstone program of Nueva Luz provides support services for those in the local community who have been diagnosed
with the life-threatening illness of HIV/AIDS. Good nutrition is one of the most powerful weapons available for fighting the
effects of HIV/AIDS. A grant from Community West Foundation for $24,000 will allow the Nutrition Program to continue to
serve participating clients, most of whom are living at or below the poverty level, for one year.
The nutrition program offers assistance by providing critical nutrition to food insecure

A Golf Inc. Magazine Winner!
Westwood Country Club Earns Top Award
Westwood Country Club, Rocky River’s venerable institution for finer living, is a
recipient of a prestigious design award for its new clubhouse!
Golf Inc. Magazine selected Westwood Country Club for its Annual Clubhouse Competition – winning one of the two top awards in the private club category.
The building was designed by Partners & Sirny Architects, a Minneapolis based architectural firm that specializes in clubhouse design. The Albert M. Higley Company of
Cleveland was the general contractor.
The new colonial revival style clubhouse opened in March 2009 and reflects the style
of the former clubhouse, providing expanded functions in a more efficient design. Many
of the old furnishings were reused
to establish a strong link to the
clubs past. The prestigious Northeast Ohio Club was founded in
1914.
“We are pleased to honor
these outstanding clubhouses,”
said Katina Cavagnaro, publisher
of Golf Inc. “The quality of the
entries was exceptionally high.”
Judges comments included “good
sense of arrival,” “roof lines and
elevations are simple and elegant”
and “the finished product is a nice
job of efficiently using the space.
The fixtures are very rich traditional colors and textures.”
In addition to the Award
winning new clubhouse, a
Caddie House was constructed and improvements to
the site were made including
expanded and updated parking areas with decorative light
poles and fixtures, new patios
were developed featuring a
fire pit, a large trellis area, and
gazebo, enhanced by extensive landscaping. Westwood’s
18-hole Golf Course designed
by C.H. Alison also received
enhancements such as a new
drainage system on the greens, Some of the Board of Directors & Officers from
cart paths added throughout Westwood Country Club (l-r): Bruce J. Carroll,
the entire course, a cascading Rebecca Busa (Secretary), Bill Kysela (VP), Ed Lesko,
water feature added to the sev- William R. Litzler, William F. Knoble (President),
enth hole, the creek that gen- George D. Miller.
tly meanders though the course had its riverbanks restored, and two picturesque natural
stone bridges.
“Members built this new two-level clubhouse on the same site as
the previous facility,” explains Golf, Inc. Magazine. “Its colonial revival-style architecture blends well with the separate pro shop and cart
storage buildings that were retained.”
Highlighted by a split-level lobby, all dining functions are on the
main level and golf functions below with both an adult bar-grill and
family grill. The separate ballroom entrance increases a sense of privacy for large functions.
At 37,600 square feet, the project cost was $9.5 million.
The project’s success was due to the close collaboration of the architects, the contractors and the Westwood Steering and Design Committees. An award ceremony will take place in Amelia Island, Florida
in April.

Irish Need Not Apply
Happy St. Pat’s day.
poem by David Scullin
A few generations ago, the only job Cleveland Irish
could get was pushing wheelbarrows of iron ore up
from the holds of sailing ships.
If they came up from the “Angle” at Detroit and
West 25th street or the “Irish Bend” area along the
river looking for a job, the stinging signs of
discrimination hung on doors and windows: “Irish
need not apply”.
The Statue of Liberty still beckons immigrants
“Yearning to be free”.
Now we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day across this
wonderful country. A sure sign of assimilation into
our great “melting pot” that is America.
