Many years ago I had a dream … an idea: to find a
way to offer an equal opportunity for everyone to share
the musical talent that abounds in Northeast Ohio. Few
cities can boast the musical riches Cleveland has to
offer, including the world renowned Cleveland
Orchestra, Oberlin College Conservatory and Cleveland
Institute of Music. I wanted everyone, regardless of their
ability to pay, to have a chance to hear great music
(live!) and to get to know some of the wonderful
musicians I have been lucky enough to work with
during my own life in music. The challenges were
many, but then I was young, enthusiastic and,
obviously, naïve. Finding an acoustically worthy space,
in a relatively accessible part of town, was the most
difficult first step. It was also personally important to
serve an underserved community. Fate (and my mother)
intervened, and I was re-introduced to a Tremont
landmark - Pilgrim Congregational Church - in the
(then) relatively little known historic Tremont
neighborhood. (Cravings, now Civilization, Miracles,
now Bistro on Lincoln Park and the Patisserie Baroque,
now gone, were new businesses at that time.)
Fortunately, former Pilgrim Pastor, Laurie Hafner, (then
a Tremont newcomer) understood the importance to the
growth of her inner city church of having as many
visitors as possible pass through the doors. She invited
me to consider Pilgrim my musical home. (As an aside
to the uninitiated … check out Pilgrim Church – it is
another Cleveland architectural treasure, with a
stunningly beautiful sanctuary featuring Tiffany-style
stained glass windows and domed ceiling.) With time,
energy, the support and encouragement of many, and a
variety of musical offerings, Arts Renaissance Tremont
evolved from performances by a resident chamber
music ensemble (Tremont Chamber Players) into a
highly regarded concert series.
Twenty years have seemingly flown by. Those who
took a chance on this small neighborhood performing
arts organization have been richly rewarded to hear
many of the area’s finest musicians: High Anxiety
Bones, Jack Schantz Jazz Unit, Cleveland Jazz
Orchestra, University Circle Chorale, Oberlin College

Project Update
One of the first activities for
most highway construction
projects is often a shock for
nearby residents and
businesses. The recent clearing
of most vegetation and trees
from the west side of I-90,
between Abbey and Kenilworth
in the Tremont neighborhood,
has raised some questions.
The area that has been
cleared of trees will have more
work done to remove the
remaining roots and debris. All
of the vegetation and plant
materials will be removed
before clean fill will be brought
in and placed to provide room
for the expanded highway. The
areas that have been cleared
will be the site of new
embankments that will be
constructed later this summer.
There are specific requirements
for erosion control, including silt

STAFF
Hey Tremont, want to stay more informed on
what’s happening in your neighborhood?
Well, you’re in luck, because Tremont West has finally entered the social media
world. We’re on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube in order to communicate
more often with you, the residents.
If you are new to social media, please allow me to explain why it’s important and
why you should want to learn more. I’ll start with the astounding number of social
media users. Approximately 1 in every 13 people alive today on earth is on Facebook. In total, 72% of all US internet users are on now Facebook, and Facebook
adoption isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Twitter just turned five years old and now
handles an average of 140 million tweets per day, Flickr has 5 billion photos being
shared, and YouTube has over 140 million user-submitted videos. That’s a lot of
sharing!
For the end user, it usually means searching less for the information you probably
already enjoy consuming. I liken it to a personal newspaper. The Plain Dealer is
tasked with writing stories that all of Cleveland will want to read. Does that mean that
you personally will want to read every story? Probably not. With the aid of Facebook,
Twitter, and other social media tools, the information you receive comes from your
friends, which ultimately means you’ll be more interested in each piece of content.
Think of it as a daily newspaper of your life that you have total control over. You can
even “hide” the content of your annoying friends, if you want. Try doing that in real
life!
We’d like to be part of your daily newspaper and promise to not fill your news feeds
with useless garbage. If you “follow” or “like” us, you’ll be sure to find:



Neighborhood event information
Specials from Tremont businesses
Photos from around the neighborhood, and much, much more…
We also welcome any questions/suggestions/content from you. If you want to raise
an issue, submit a photo, or tell us about your favorite Tremont event, please come
do so on our social media channels. They are open for commenting now and will remain so, as long as no one abuses them. We’d like all content to be Tremont-related
or at least useful to Tremont residents. Personal attacks and vendettas will not be
tolerated, and if you notice any questionable content, please flag it and notify us.
We’d love to have as much open communication with you as possible, but if people
can’t play nice, we might have to make it a one way conversation. Please don’t let
that happen, Tremont.
Now that you’ve read about all the wonderful things you’re missing online, what are
you waiting for? Go out and join our social media channels listed below and tell your
friends to join! Let’s continue this conversation online!

LIMINIS THEATER
2438 Scranton Road (Originally the Taylor Emerson home):
Liminis Theater occupies a storefront built in 1911 as an addition to a large brick house built
in 1860. The home was converted from a single family home to an inn. The storefront was a
general store and tavern until 1942 when it became a neighborhood bar. The building was used
as apartments and a bar under various resident owners. The theater company owner bought the
badly-maintained building. The apartments have been renovated and the storefront has
undergone structural and electrical improvements. There is now a 40-seat performance space,
home to convergence-continuum, a professional alternative theater company.
Taylor S. Emerson was born in 1820. Mr. Emerson was a builder who had a planning mill
and manufactured doors, sashes and blinds. The home he built is a Cleveland Landmark. Mr.
Emerson was a widower who had two sons who died in infancy. He died January 1, 1908 at the
age of 88 years of age. His funeral was from the residence at 2438 Scranton Road on Friday,
January 3, 1908.
Mr. Emerson was mentioned as a member of the Citizens Group that participated in the
dedication ceremonies for Riverside Cemetery. He is buried in Riverside Cemetery.
RIVERSWEEP
Set for Saturday, May 7th, 2011 - 9am - 12 noon
RiverSweep is Ohio Canal Corridor's annual,
environmental awareness and clean-up initiative. The
event partners multiple non-profit organizations with
private companies to clean areas along the
Cuyahoga River Valley and its tributaries.
RiverSweep is a "done in a day" event where
volunteers gather at one of eight designated areas in
the following neighborhoods:
Tremont, Ohio City, Slavic Village, The Flats,
Old Brooklyn, Stockyards/Clark Metro,
Parma/West Creek, and Independence - Stay tuned
for exact areas and meeting locations.
There will be a luncheon and entertainment
following the cleanup at the Plain Dealer Pavilion for all volunteers that will run from
12pm - 2pm (lunch will only be served until 1pm).
RiverSweep stands out as Ohio's most successful environmental clean-up with teams
of environmentally aware volunteers, community groups, non-profit organizations,
government agencies and corporate partners clearing the river valleys of debris.
RiverSweep has established a tradition of cleaning areas where new parks and extended
trails will be built one day.
Examples of the new parks include Ohio Canal Corridor's Hart Crane Park in the Flats,
Cleveland Metroparks Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation, Mill Creek Falls, and Washington
Park Reservation. In process are the West Creek Greenway, Treadway Ravine in
Cleveland, Walworth Run (Train Avenue), extending the Towpath Trail from lower
Harvard Avenue through Tremont to Canal Basin Park in the northern Flats.
In 2010, RiverSweep volunteers pitched in with the Tremont Gardeners to spruce up
the roundabout at West 14 Street & Quigley. In the future, other such sites will be added.
For more information, call Kathy at 216-520-1825 or e-mail kcole@ohiocanal.org.
To volunteer in Tremont, contact Scott at Tremont West—216-575-0920 or by e-mail—
scottrosenstein@tremontwest.org.
The Rite-Aid Cleveland Marathon is coming to Tremont and
Duck Island! On Sunday, May 15th, between the hours of 7:45am and
9:45am - thousands of runners plus fans and volunteers will be out and
about experiencing first hand what welcoming and energetic
neighborhoods we have in Tremont and Duck Island. We’re in the
process right now of brainstorming ways that residents, business
owners, churches and civic institutions can be more involved in the
event.
Cleveland Ward 3 Councilman, Joe Cimperman, has been a leader in
working with Cleveland Marathon and Community Development staff
from several neighborhoods as well as neighborhood volunteers to
make race day exciting and fun. Councilman Cimperman and Tremont
West staff have a great desire to see people out cheering on the
runners, hosting water stands, providing entertainment and music, etc
the morning of the race.
The proposed route brings runners, fans and volunteers to both
Ward 14 and Ward 3 Tremont and to Duck Island then on to downtown
Cleveland:

Barber to Scranton
Scranton to Starkweather
Starkweather to West 11th Street

On March 6th, ten very lucky people got to spend three hours in a class called, “Cooking like an Italian” Fabio
Salerno, owner, of our popular Lago Restaurant donated a cooking class for ten people. He put bar stools all around
the open kitchen so we could all see and hear everything that was happening.
We started with excellent Italian Red Wine. The antipasti was Calamari sautéed with oven roasted tomatoes and
fresh basil. We learned not to overcook it. After a little more red wine we watched Josh (chef) make pasta and roll it
into little circles. This turned into the most incredible dish of Veal Tortellini with Prosciutto, fresh peas, and a
Parmigiano cream sauce. Order it when you go there!
As true Italians, we finished the meal with a little more wine and a lovely, light salad tossed with olive oil and fresh
lemon juice. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. While Josh was demonstrating, Fabio entertained us
with stories about Italian life, food, the restaurant business and his beautiful partner in life and work, Nicole.
This was one of our featured live auction items and the lively bidding produced a great donation to the children of
Tremont. Thank you to Fabio for this donation and his continued support to Tremont.

ART has hosted the debut performances of
some now well established ensembles –
Burning River Brass and CityMusic
Cleveland, among them. We have also played
a vital educational role in introducing
neighborhood children to orchestral music
with
performances
by
the
Akron
Symphony.
Coupled by my original dream, our now
collective desire has been to enhance the
cultural diversity and quality of life in
Tremont by providing a forum for the arts.
Along the way, we’ve developed a unique
audience, established a respected venue for
gifted artists to share their talent, promoted
the use of a magnificent space, fostered a
greater sense of community and an
appreciation for the arts through accessible
artistic programs and supported the rebirth
of an historic Cleveland neighborhood.
Many thanks to the people of Pilgrim
Church and to the ART board. Keep the
dream alive. Join us for a concert.
Everyone is welcome. Besides, the ticket
price can’t be beat! Admission to ART
concerts continues to be by freewill
donation.

Free Compost Bins
for Tremont Residents!
Tremont West received a 2011 Recycling
Container Grant from the Cuyahoga County
Solid Waste District to purchase backyard
compost bins for Tremont residents. Glenn
Murray, a Tremont resident, the Cleveland
Management Academy at CSU, and Kristen
Trolio at TWDC successfully collaborated on
the grant and as a result, Tremont West is able
to purchase 20 compost bins to distribute to
Tremont residents at NO COST to the
resident! In order to receive a compost bin, you
must register and attend a compost seminar at
the Solid Waste District. A list of upcoming
seminars is available on their website,
www.cuyahogaswd.org, or can be obtained by
calling (216) 443-3749.
Residents can choose between two types of
backyard compost bins – either a bin that is
best for yard waste or a bin that is best for food
waste. More information on both bins is available on the Solid Waste District’s website as
well. Residents will be urged to participate in
the “Cleveland Composters” Facebook page for
ongoing peer-to-peer support.
To receive your bin:
1. Call Kristen at TWDC at (216) 575-0920 to
reserve your bin
2. Register and attend a compost seminar
by May 31st
3. Provide proof of attendance to Kristen at
TWDC in order to pick up your bin
If you do not complete a seminar by May 31st,
your bin will be given to the next person on the
list.

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Public Meetings
In June 2011, the Sewer District staff will ask the Board of Trustees to consider the
adoption of a rate increase. Beginning in 2012 through 2016, the anticipated rate
increase is expected to be an additional $14 a quarter per year for the average user,
which is equivalent to an average increase of 13 percent per year. At the upcoming
community meetings, NEORSD representatives will discuss changes to the minimum
charge fee and additions to the rate savings programs, including a crisis voucher and
income-based rate reduction, as well. Applications will not be available for the new rate
savings programs until mid-summer. Cleveland meetings are Tuesday, April 26th 7pm at Gunning Recreation Center, 16700 Puritas Road, and Saturday, May 14th, 9am
at Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant,14021 Lakeshore Blvd.

Block Club Happenings
“Block Club Happenings” is compiled by TWDC staff
with direct input from Block Club Chairs.
Auburn
After a short winter break in February, the block club gathered
for their second meeting of the year on on March 10th. The
membership and guests shared a supper of lasagna with meat
sauce and one veggie pasta and a simple tossed salad,
graciously prepared by Co-chair Kerry Capwell. Coffee and
pop were provided by Co-chair, Frank Tkacz, and former
Co-chair, Brooke Willis. Our thanks to Kerry, Frank, and
Brooke! We continued a conversation begun at our January
gathering, with a discussion of the “Helping Hands – Giving
Back Where It Counts” initiative and fundraising possibilities.
The membership decided to re-visit the topic each month and
encourage members in small groups to undertake support of
various non-profit groups and engage in fundraising
opportunities. Dan Lotz was nominated and elected to serve as
Secretary of the block club in 2011. Congratulations and thank
you, Dan! Please make plans now to attend our next meeting on Thursday, April 14th – 7:00 pm at Pilgrim Church.
For more information on the block club and the April meeting,
contact our Co-Chairs, Frank Tkacz –tfs30@aol.com—and
Kerry Capwell – kerrycapwell@yahoo.com— or Scott at
TWDC at 575-0920 or scottrosenstein@tremontwest.org.
Please join us on Thursday, April 14th!
Central Tremont
At the February Central Tremont Block Club meeting, the group
spent time discussing their constitution. A vote will be taken at
an upcoming meeting to amend the constitution in regards to
the number of representatives that a business can send to a
block club meeting to vote on a particular issue. The block club
also created a rule that restricts audio and visual recording and
media at their meetings; at the beginning of each block club
meeting, any media will need to be identified and the members
will vote on whether or not they are permitted at the meeting.
The block club also discussed a summer party – please look to
future issues of Inside Tremont for more information. The next
meeting will be held on April 26th at 6:30pm at TWDC.
Duck Island
The block club generally meets May – October in Abbey Park.
The membership will hold a special meeting on Thursday,
April 14th from 6 – 7 pm to discuss the move of the
Gateway Animal Clinic to 1819 Abbey Avenue. The meeting
will be held at the Tremont West office – 2406 Professor.
This special meeting is for block club residents/members only.
There is a locked SUGGESTION BOX on Co-chair Alicia
Hudson’s porch for any suggestions, comments and reports
requiring anonymity for all our residents. The block club will
resume monthly meetings in Abbey Park on Tuesday, May, 3,
2011. Co-chair, Alicia Hudson, can be reached at
amh1954@sbcglobal.net or 216.443.1296/216.443.0470

Tremont West at 216.575.0920.
Holmden Buhrer Rowley/
Mentor Castle Clark
Steve Gabor, the Cleveland area campaign director for Ohio
Citizen Action, attended our March 2nd meeting to address the
HBR-MCC Block Club’s concerns about the protection of our air
quality, and the more active role our residents must play in the
EPA process. In addition to EPA complaint calls, Mr. Gabor
suggested calls to our councilman and environmental
organizations (such as Environmental Health Watch
(216) 961-4646, Environment Ohio (614) 460-8732, and the
Sierra Club (614) 461-0734). He mentioned
http://scorecard.goodguide.com as a useful tool to find out
more about community pollution levels by zip code. Mr. Gabor
can be reached at (216) 861-5200 or sgabor@ohiocitizen.org.
We also heard from Alex Finnarn from TWDC about the City of
Cleveland’s Model Blocks Program assisting homeowners with
exterior repairs. Call Alex at 216-575-0920
(alexfinnarn@tremontwest.org) to find out more. Bob Shores
presented our safety report. Bev Wurm gave an update on
exciting developments from the Friends of Clark Field including
upcoming fundraiser and summer movie events, and large
dollar grants coming to Clark Field in March. Finally we set a
date for an HBR-MCC-hosted TREMONT-WIDE BLOCK
PARTY on Sunday May 15th from 11:00AM – 3:00PM. Please
email Meg Havey (meganhavey@gmail.com) to find out how
you can get involved. Residents mentioned the need for better
snow plowing in the neighborhood. Check out our new
Google Site to find out what our block club is working on:
https://sites.google.com/site/mcchbr/home. We’re using the
next few meetings to develop our own meeting rules and
structure to make sure all of our residents feel welcome,
empowered, and eager to return for the next month’s meeting—so please stop in to tell us how we can improve. Once
again, the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, April
6th, 6:30pm at the Clark Bar. See you there!
Lincoln Heights
Adam Stalder from the SCFBC CDO office gave a detailed
report to the block club membership of addresses he has sent
an initial letter to regarding code violations on their individual
properties. If Adam does not get a response he will turn them
into the City of Cleveland’s Building and Housing Department.
Some of these locations have been known to B&H for years,
but this is the process that again must happen to satisfy City
protocol for code enforcement. Adam has done a great job in
detailing the properties, he will track the locations throughout
2011 and hopefully will get voluntary compliance on the
violations. Chairperson Henry Senyak updated members on
the efforts of graffiti abatement in Tremont. Councilman
Cummins had a volunteer group in mid-February painting over
the tagging. TWDC has had Court Community Service crews
out three days in the last few weeks and have addressed over
50 locations on public property. Weather conditions have
cancelled more efforts but TWDC will continue this process
and keep monitoring the area for new tagging. An update was
given in regards to the Tremont neighborhood NVR camera
program at TWDC. The system has run into some operational
problems mostly with interference that renders cameras
inoperable. The TWDC Safety Committee has had a meeting
with the City of Cleveland Public Safety Department and their
Homeland Security Division. TWDC is going to attempt repairs
on the existing cameras as a short-term solution, but optimally
will recommend to all TWDC constituent groups and
stakeholders that TWDC should seek funding grants and
partner with the City of Cleveland to install cameras in
Tremont similar to downtown. We are requesting all voting
members of the block club to be in attendance at our April
meeting. There has been discussion to move the meeting
location from Zion Church. We would actually need to amend
the block club by-laws with a special quorum to address this
matter. The potential move has merit and may increase
attendance but we are obliged to work under our by-law
document until proper amendments are approved. The next
meeting will be Thursday, April 14th, 6pm at Zion Church.
Metro North
The block club took a short winter break and did not meet in
February. Starting in March, we will have a topic at every
meeting that will be the bulk of our discussion at that meeting.
The primary March Topic was “W. 25th Street Development” the types of businesses being sought for the area, any new
businesses that are proposed for W. 25th from Clark to I-71,
plans for the streetscape, and what it means for Metro North
residents & businesses. Sammy Catania, Development
Director of Tremont West Development Corp was the special
guest for the evening to present on this topic. Staff of
Stockyards, Clark-Fulton, Brooklyn Centre CDC were invited
to attend, but scheduling did not permit their participation at
this meeting. The membership also discussed housing and
commercial development concerns in the block club area, and
Chair, Sandy Smith, reported on a potential demolition list
prepared by Ward 14 Code Enforcement Officer, Adam
Stalder, with the input of Ward 14 Tremont Block Club
chairpersons. News of upcoming community and
neighborhood events for spring and summer, 2011 was also
shared with the membership. A date of Saturday, May 14th –
8:30am – 12noon - has been set for the annual Spring
Clean-up. For more information about our block club
meetings and activities, please contact Chair, Sandy Smith –
slsmith819@hotmail.com – and Co-Chair, Sue Krosel - or
contact Scott at Tremont West at 216.575.0920 –
scottrosenstein@tremontwest.org. Block club meetings will
now be held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Please join
us for our next meeting on Tuesday, April 26th, at the new
time of 6:30 pm at St. Michael’s ground floor meeting room.
Our topic for the April meeting is: “Making Scranton Road a
National or Local Historical District. Pros and Cons.”
North of Literary
At the March meeting, Chick Holtkamp and Nick Graor
presented proposed plans for remodeling and parking options
for the property at 2215 W. 10th Street (next to Fifth Third
Bank). The lot is an odd triangular shape. The plan is to
rehab the blue house that exists, demolish the garage and
add a carport. The result would open three or four off- street
parking spots for use by the Fifth Third Building. A motion to
support aforementioned plan was made, seconded and
approved by the block club. The block club will supply a letter
of support to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Safety
Coordinator, Bob Shores, distributed crime and safety
(brevity) reports for February. Car break-ins continue to be a
problem, and people are urged to remove items of personal
property from vehicles left parked on the street or in
driveways. At the February meeting, the block club had
approved the inclusion of membership to the south side of
Literary as well as the existing north side residents. It has
been determined, however, that a block club does not have
authority to unilaterally change boundary lines. A motion was
made and passed to rescind the last meeting’s vote on the
same. Possible alternate membership options will be
discussed at future meetings. Jason McMinn, a homeowner
on W. 5th, has a blue spruce to donate to the neighborhood.
A motion was made and passed to plant the tree at Industry
Park. The membership was encouraged to participate in the
upcoming RiverSweep Clean-up on May 7th, and to lend
enthusiastic spectator support to the runners of the Rite-Aide
Cleveland Marathon as they pass through the neighborhood
on May 15th. For more information on our block club and
activities, please contact our Co-Chairs, Brian Fabo—
brian@faboenterprises.com - and Mark Marek –
msm130@sbcglobal.net - or contact Scott at Tremont West
at 216-575-0920 – scottrosenstein@tremontwest.org. We
hope you’ll join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, April
19th – 6:30pm at Lago.
Old Tremont
The Old Tremont Block Club is looking for new leadership!
Several residents have expressed an interest in working
together on activities for youth, healthy food and gardens, and
neighborhood clean-ups. 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 held their March meeting at
Hotz Cafe. The block club discussed their summer events.
They will be organizing a Tremont-wide cornhole tournament
with Post #58 on June 11th. Stay tuned to future editions of
Inside Tremont for more information. In addition, Barb Sper,
Brian Bellomo, and Brooke Deines have volunteered to
coordinate the South of Jefferson summer block party which
will be held in August. The block club voted to volunteer as a
group with both the Friends of Clark Field for the Easter Egg
Hunt and at Merrick House. More details will be available at
the April block club meeting. The block club held co-chair
elections – Congratulations to Brian Bellomo and Jeff Gyurky
on their co-chair positions for 2011. Chris Haff-Paluck from
Arts Renaissance Tremont was a guest at the March meeting.
She introduced many members of the block club to the
concert series by her group and distributed information. The
next South of Jefferson Block Club meeting will be held
on Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00pm at St. Theodosius.
Remember to bring $1 to try your luck in the 50/50 raffle.
Block club t-shirts will be ordered soon – it’s not too late to
order your t-shirt.
Friends of Clark Field
Our March Soup Fundraiser was a great success. Thanks to
all those who supported us by attending the event, donating of
fantastic gifts for the Chinese raffle, donating of supplies and

together: Rich, Jim, Rose, Nancy, Sharon, Dave, Carmen,

VALPARAISO
THURSDAY PERFORMANCES FREE FOR
TREMONT RESIDENTS
Tremont’s resident professional
theatre company, convergencecontinuum, presents Valparaiso by Don
DeLillo at the Liminis theater at 2438
Scranton Rd. now through April 16.
This dark comedy by famed novelist
DeLillo skewers our obsession with TV
and celebrity in a wickedly discomfiting
way that you won’t soon forget.
Michael Majeski boards a plane on a
routine business trip to Valparaiso,
Indiana, but through a succession of
blunders ends up in Valparaiso, Chile.
In a series of intense and often surreal
press, radio and TV news interviews, he
tries to establish his identity as he
moves from being a humorous media
curiosity to a national media celebrity,
until he reaches the big-time: the tell-all
daytime talk show! Here nothing
remains unseen, and personal secrets,
no matter how intimate, are fair game.
Valparaiso runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm
through April 16. Tickets are
$15 general admission, $12 seniors, $10
students. Tremonters are admitted
free on all Thursday performances.
Call 216-687-0074 for reservations.
