More Than A Miracle…
Provance Is A Blessing!
Independence, Ohio - A new smile in under one hour can happen without Novocain or drilling of teeth. Dr Bilski’s mission to ease or eliminate the
pain and discomfort has been achieved with The Provance Veneer system.
Dr. Thomas Bilski,
NE Ohio’s leader in
Provance
“No shots, no drilling…all smiles!” Once hopeless and unattractive smiles are made new
again and are more affordable than conventional veneer techniques. See truly amazing results
within a short appointment and without the uncomfortable numbness that lasts for hours.
This is what Dr. Bilski and his team have set as an expectation for the Patient Experience.
“We hear story after story from patients who have, for years, carried this assumption that a
trip to the dentist would be accompanied by a certain level of pain.” Dr. Bilski continued, “We
want our patients to raise their standards. We encourage them to expect more out of our team,
and we carry out that promise daily!”
Dr. Bilski (both a general and Focused on Cosmetic dentist here in Independence) has
earned a reputation for seeking out alternative dental techniques that are non-invasive. This
extensive research and vetting process led to an emphasis on minimally invasive alternatives
to resurrect your smile affordably. “The feeling of your smile being unattractive is often the
motivation behind someone seeking our office for a solution. Those campfire stories about
some painful trip to some other dentist made them wait and wait and wait…until they finally
heard what we are doing right here in their own backyard! I really get a kick out of those stories
and seeing all their worries float away when this patient realizes how different it is going to be
this time.”
Depending on the situation, Dr. Bilski can now correct your smile by covering the tooth or
teeth with Provance, without drilling and without Novocain! “Many of my patients request porcelain veneers, but porcelain veneers in most cases require drilling of natural tooth surfaces,
and patients do not want their teeth drilled. This can become confusing, and I prefer to offer a
steady hand and show them what information they truly need before making their decision.”
The benefits for Provance:
•Can fix worn teeth or chipped edges
•Close gaps or spaces
•Correct tooth shape or position
•Change tooth color
BEFORE PROVANCE
Dr Bilski is the lead clinician in America
teaching Provance to other dentists and providing Provance to his patients.
Provance is a revolutionary technique and
is being celebrated within the dental community. Dr. Bilski is the clinical co-director at the

Regional storm water fees are forthcoming
by ScripType staff writers
After losing an appeal to the Ohio
Supreme Court last fall, suburban communities are beginning to sign on to the
Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District’s
storm water management program.
Five suburbs asked the state Supreme
Court to reconsider its Sept. 15 ruling,
which granted the sewer district the authority to create a regional storm water
management and fee program.
Officials questioned several aspects of the
Supreme Court ruling, including whether
the storm water fees to be imposed upon
property owners amount to an unfair tax
and whether the sewer district agreement
is a violation of home rule provisions in
the state constitution.
NEORSD approved the storm water
program in January 2010, and a Cuyahoga
County court ruled the sewer district had
the authority to request the fees from property owners. Opponents of the program
said the fee program was a tax on which
they had not voted, and eight suburbs,
including Brecksville and Independence,
appealed the county court decision.
In September 2013, the 8th District
Court of Appeals overturned the county
decision, ruling in favor of the communities. NEORSD appealed that decision to
the Ohio Supreme Court, which came
down on the side of the sewer district last
September.
The Supreme Court ruled storm water
is a form of wastewater according to the
Ohio Revised Code. The Revised Code
allows the sewer district to treat wastewater,
so the Supreme Court ruled NEORSD
is permitted to implement a storm water
management program. The 8th District
Court of Appeals, in its ruling, had said
storm water is not wastewater.
Since the appellate court ruling, NEORSD had placed $20 million in storm
water management fees collected from
property owners in escrow. The Supreme
Court ruling allowed the sewer district to
access those fees and restart the program.
NEORSD spokesperson Jennifer Elting
said the sewer district would resume billing
customers for the storm water management fee in the second half of this year.
Fees will vary depending on the amount
of impervious surface area on the property.
The more areas in which water cannot pass
through, the higher the fees assessed to the
property owner.
The storm water management program
includes projects such as erosion control
in area streams and removing debris from
creeks and rivers to prevent flooding. Elting said the sewer district is “taking an indepth look” at all projects in the Cuyahoga
River south watershed first.
One-fourth of the money the sewer district collects in storm water management
fees will be returned to the individual
municipalities so they can fund their own
projects. ∞

Veteran gymnast takes unique path to Olympics
by Laura Straub
After an unconventional gymnastics
career, dual American and Armenian
citizen Houry Gebeshian will be the first
female gymnast to represent Armenia
in the Olympics – and she’s training in
Broadview Heights.
“It’s been an awesome thing to watch,”
said Joan Ganim, owner of Gymnastics
World, the gym where Gebeshian has
been training since July 2014. “She is an
example to our athletes of someone who
works so incredibly hard to make their
dreams come true.”
Realizing her dream has not been an
easy path for the 26-year-old gymnast.
“I started gymnastics when I was 5,”
she said. “I had a similar story to any
other little gymnast out there. I was very
energetic, and fortunately my mom found
gymnastics.”
She trained at the Massachusetts Gymnastics Center from age 5 to 18, and
found success in the Junior Olympics and
state championships.
“I didn’t even think about college gymnastics,” Gebeshian said.
But the University of Iowa was thinking
about her. The Hawkeyes recruited Gebeshian, and she competed in all-around
for four years. During that time she won
a Big 10 championship and qualified for
the NCAA national tournament.
Gebeshian also caught the eye of the
Armenian Olympic Committee.
“My dad’s friend on the Olympic committee reached out because he was looking
for female representatives in all sports,”
she said. “My junior year of college is
when we got the ball rolling on that.”
Stress fracture sinks her chances
Unlike most gymnasts who compete at
an elite level before college, Gebeshian did
not compete at the elite level until after
graduating from college.
“I graduated in 2011, and my goal was to
compete at the 2012 Olympics,” she said.
She competed at the 2011 World
Championships, the first Olympic qualifying meet, but her performance was
subpar because of a stress fracture.
“I missed qualifying for the Olympic
Test Event by one spot,” she said. “That
was a huge disappointment for Armenia.”
So Gebeshian hung up her grips and
focused on her back-up plan, earning a
physician’s assistant degree from Wake
Forest University.
“I didn’t think I was going to do gymnastics again,” she said. “I ended my career.”
Although Gebeshian didn’t find gymnastics success at the 2011 World Championships, she did meet former Olympian
Dominique Moceanu and her husband,
podiatrist Dr. Michael Canales, who invited her to his practice in Cleveland. It
was there that she met her fiancé, Duane,
who inspired her to give her Olympic
dreams one last shot.
“We were chatting about our experiences and he said, ‘Why not do it? What’s
holding you back?’” Gebeshian said.
Moceanu and Canales introduced
Gebeshian to the Ganims at Gymnastics
World, and she began training for the first
time in two years. Although Gymnastics
World does not typically work with
athletes competing at the elite level, they
welcomed Gebeshian.
“I train by myself every single day and
kind of make my own plan,” she said.

Gebeshian has a spreadsheet of her conditioning, strength and cardio workouts,
as well as her goals and routines, which
she follows once she’s in the gym. But her
biggest challenges are heading to practice
after working nights in the birthing center
at Fairview Hospital and coaching herself
by the feel of her movements.
“I do everything by feel,” she said. “I
don’t have a coach to correct me, so I need
to feel each skill.”
Gebeshian said she had all of the skills in
her routines re-mastered by February 2015,
but she had to prove it to the Armenian
Olympic Committee. She reached out to
the Armenian men’s gymnastics coach,
because the country has no women’s program, and told him she was training.
Goal is 2016 Olympics
“I said, ‘This is my goal, I started training
again, I want to compete at the Olympics
in 2016 and I’m going to do it,’” Gebeshian said.
But after her problems at the 2011
worlds, she had to wow the committee to
even be considered. “I had to prove myself
at the European Championships in April
2015,” she said. “I did great, I actually
made it into the all-around finals. After
that, they started taking me seriously.”
Although she has won over the committee, Gebeshian doesn’t have funding.
Without an Armenian women’s gymnastics
program, she must finance her own road
to Rio.
“My fundraising goal is $25,000,’’ she
said. “It’s a pretty high goal, but I am trying to build a women’s gymnastics program
from the ground up. That is where the
money is primarily going.
“I want others to follow in my footsteps,
but I don’t want them to have to pay an
arm and a leg to make their dreams a reality like I have had to do. I’ve raised about
$7,500 so far.’’
The next stop was the World Championships in October 2015.
“I was anxious, I was nervous and it was
not normal for me,” she said. But she made
it to the Olympic Test Event in April 2016.
“I knew if I made it to the Test Event I
would have a good chance to make it to
the Olympics,” she said. “I had a great
meet and I qualified right through, right
in the middle.”
Although Gebeshian must balance her
gymnastic workouts and her full-time
job – something most aspiring Olympians
don’t have to do – she is confident. “I feel
the best I’ve ever felt, I’m doing the best
Gymnast Houry Gebeshian has no outside
financial support in her quest to make the
Olympics, so she works at her day job as a
physician’s assistant in the birthing center
of Fairview Hospital.

gymnastics I’ve ever done and I think it’s
my mentality,” she said.
She hopes that her efforts will help
pave the way for future female Armenian
gymnasts.
“I’m trying to get my story out to as
many people as possible so people can
follow in my footsteps,” she said.

Council approves sanitary sewer rate increase after changes
by Jon Huff
May 23 council meeting
Broadview Heights residents who use
the sanitary sewer system operated by
the city will see a rate increase this summer. Broadview Heights City Council
approved an amended ordinance to raise
the rates, currently $80 per year for a
single-family home or apartment with
more than three bedrooms. The ordinance
went through all three council readings.
The new rate for those users is $132 per
year, effective July 1. Annual rates for apartment dwellings depend on the number of
bedrooms. A three-bedroom apartment
will be charged $116, two-bedroom $100
and single-bedroom $84. The previous
rates were $70, $60 and $50, respectively.

When originally proposed, the ordinance called for a charge of $144 per year
for a single-family home. After discussion
among council members, City Engineer
Gary Yelenosky and Director of Public
Service and Development David Schroedel, the parties agreed to a lesser increase.
Revenue from the increase will be used to
maintain the city’s sewer system and build
a fund for capital improvement projects.
The ordinance also changes quarterly
rates for commercial and industrial properties. Those properties will pay either
$32, or $7.87 per 1,000 cubic feet of
water, whichever is greater.
Sanitary sewer service is split in the
city. The Cuyahoga County Department
of Public Works covers areas along the
Brecksville border and an area around
Meadow Gateway and Ridge Park Drive.
The city services the rest of the area north
of Interstate 80.
New vending machines
New Coca-Cola vending machines are
coming to the city after council renewed
an agreement with the company. According to a letter to council from Parks
and Recreation Director Paula Horner,
Coca-Cola will replace six vending machines with “two to three state-of-the-art
glass-front vending machines.” The new
vending machines provide a wider range
of Coca-Cola products such as Vitaminwater and Zico coconut water. Coca-Cola
will pay $1,000 per year for sponsorship
over the two-year deal and 30 percent
commission on all vended cases. The
company will also give a rebate of $2.50
per case on drinks the city purchases to
sell at the concession stand.
The recreation department asked council to authorize three purchases:
• A UV sanitation system for the city
splash park from O.P. Aquatics for
$22,348, including installation. The UV
system cuts down on chemicals needed
to sanitize water.
• Two new shade structures that will go
up over the Diamond 5 bleachers. The
structures will cost $19,892 from David
Williams and Associates.
• A 2016 Ford F-250 from Valley Ford
Truck for $33,620. The truck will be used
for grounds keeping and snow plowing.
• Council approved an agreement with
All Covered to move the city to a new information technology infrastructure. The
company will install new hardware and
build new servers for the city’s computer
system. The project will cost $23,372.
• Council approved an amendment to the
memorandum of understanding with the
city’s service and recreation workers. The
amendment allows workers to donate up to
three sick days to other workers who have
used all their sick leave because of injury.
Drilling policy questioned
Resident Tish O’Dell addressed council regarding drilling in the city. O’Dell
shared updated research about the health
effects of drilling in neighborhoods. She
cited articles from publications, such as
Yale Public Health Magazine and Newsweek, discussing negative side effects of
living near drilling sites.
“When a community stands together,
they can make an impact,” O’Dell said.
“There is a community in Pennsylvania
that battled with a company that wanted
to inject frack wastewater pits. The community decided they didn’t want them
and fought to stop them.”
Resident Pat Volk followed O’Dell and
discussed North Royalton Council mem-
ber Dan Langshaw, who is pushing the
legislature to challenge the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ control over
drilling sites. The state agency currently
holds power in issuing drilling permits
to companies.
“Perhaps we should get tickets for that
bus,” Volk said. “So you and us, as a community, have power to say where drilling
sites will be put.” ∞

City Government
Council approves deer hunting ordinance
by Jon Huff
June 6 regular council meeting
Deer hunting is now part of the
Broadview Heights codified ordinances.
City council approved an ordinance that
allows bow hunting to control deer population in the city during the June 6 regular
council meeting.
In the March election, residents approved
the allowance of hunting. Hunters must
have a permit issued by the city and be
certified from an approved archery test site.
Hunting must be done from an elevated
stand and on properties of at least five
contiguous acres.
City council agreed to enter into a contract with Panzica Construction to serve as
construction manager on the renovation of
the Leo H. Bender Community Center.
The estimated cost for the project is slightly
over $1 million.
David Schroedel, director of public service and development, asked council to
approve a contract with Asphalt Fabrics
& Specialties for the installation of TechCrete as part of the 2016 road program.
The department first planned to put a
fiberglass base and asphalt top on Michaels
Lane. After seeing sites using the TechCrete
material, Schroedel and city engineer Gary
Yelenosky decided to use it instead. The
estimate for Michaels Lane is $27,500.
Schroedel asked for an amount not to
exceed $50,000 for possible installation
on other roads.
Council approved the final plat for the
Avery Meadows subdivision #3 from
Landsong Engineering. On May 2, council
tabled the issue after its second reading
due to an issue with a storm sewer in the
area. Following repairs, council decided to
vote on the resolution. By approving the
measure, the city is accepting the plat for
record purposes only. The plans call for
Beaver Ridge Trail to be extended into a
cul-de-sac with four new lots.
Snyder Brothers Painting will repaint the
community center gymnasium. Council ap-
proved to use the company for the painting
at a cost not to exceed $15,690. Parks and
recreation director Paula Horner agreed to
use building staff to prepare the gym by removing banners and sound panels, and the
company will use a lift provided by the city.
American Roadway Logistics will perform the street striping in Broadview
Heights. Council signed an agreement
for the company to restripe city roads.
American Roadway Logistics provided the
lowest of four bids at $40,941.
Council agreed to a five-year contract
with Rumpke to provide trash removal in
Broadview Heights. The services will cost
$4.97 million over the five years.
An agreement with the University of
Akron’s Training Center for Fire and
Hazardous Materials will let students
train in Broadview Heights fire stations. A
memorandum of understanding between
the city and university allows the school
to use Broadview Heights stations and
equipment for coursework. ∞

Fast-track effort to negotiate new teacher contract stalls
by Kathleen Steele Gaivin
May 23 school board meeting
Community members and several
teachers addressed the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board of Education, challenging the board to negotiate in good
faith with the teachers union on a new
contract. They claimed that the board was
seeking unreasonable concessions from
the teachers and that it had walked out of
negotiations the previous week.
School board president Mark Jantzen
denied those allegations. He said the
board and the union met with a mediator for a week in late April or early May
with the hope to enter into an accelerated

W o r l d
mediation process, but that process was
unsuccessful. Therefore, he said, the parties will participate in traditional mediation during the coming months.
“We conceded in the last two contracts,’’
high school teacher Christine Bartzis said.
“As a result of these concessions, many of
us have suffered six years of salary freeze.
This is income people never regain. … Our
veteran teachers stand to lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars over their career if
we adopt this [potential] salary schedule.”
“Teachers should be treated fairly and
negotiations should be treated with a collaborative spirit,” Brecksville-Broadview
Heights High School alumnus George
Costanzo said. “I hope [the school board]
can find a way to work more productively
with the teachers in the future.”
“The intent of the one-week process was
to wrap things up concisely,’’ Jantzen said.
“That didn’t happen. The board is very
conscientiously seeking negotiations.”

Five-year forecast
Treasurer Rick Berdine presented the
district’s spring five-year forecast, a statemandated, semi-annual financial report.
Although deficit spending is expected to
continue to rise through 2020, the report
predicts the shortfall will be somewhat
less than calculated in the October 2015
forecast.

ing of $289,000, reduced from $563,000,
primarily due to increased real estate and
public utility tax receipts. By 2020 deficit
spending could reach $5.3 million, which
is $110,000 less than the fall forecast.
The entire report is available on the
district’s website at bbhcsd.org.
Master teachers
Director of Human Resources Brian
Wycuff presented to the school board
several district teachers who have earned
the state of Ohio designation Master
Teacher. The recognition is for teachers
who have taught for at least seven years
and completed an extensive application
process. The designation is valid for five
years.
“Master Teachers are people who, year
after year, demonstrate an extreme knowledge of content, are leaders inside and
outside the classroom, and are a glowing
example of the great educators that we
have in Brecksville-Broadview Heights,”
Wycuff said.
“It’s a real credit to our district and a
real benefit to our students and families,”
Jantzen said.
One teacher received the honor for the
first time, and seven others accepted renewal of the title. Brecksville-Broadview
Heights Middle School teacher Jane-Na
Chang is a first-time Master Teacher. The
following Master Teacher renewals are
effective beginning with the 2016-2017
school year: Donald Day, Chippewa
Elementary; Lawrence Doyle, Central
School; Kathleen Madigan, Chippewa
Elementary; and Janelle Valenti, Central

Lunch rate increase
Students will need an extra quarter to
pay for lunch next school year. The board
approved the 25-cent increase at the suggestion of Food Services Supervisor Kay
Cook, who said this is the first increase
since the 2007-2008 school year.
To offset decreased food service revenues
in recent years, Cook said the department
has relied on cash reserves, “but we’re
getting to a point where we can’t afford
that.” ∞
High school earns state
board of education award
Brecksville-Broadview Heights High
School’s ranking on the Ohio School
Report Card earned the school a state
board of education All-A Award.
For the first time, the state board is
honoring high schools that received A’s
in every aspect of school performance as
measured by Ohio’s School Report Card.
BBHHS was one of the 28 winners of
the award. ∞
School water deemed safe
after testing for lead
In light of concerns about possible
unsafe levels of lead in the water of area
school districts, Brecksville-Broadview
Heights Schools Director of Business
Services Chris Coad contacted both the
Cuyahoga County Board of Health and
City of Cleveland’s Division of Water and
was assured that random water samplings
are routinely done throughout the county.
The findings consistently verify that the
area’s water supply is safe for public use.
Coad also hired Summit Environmental
Technologies, an independent firm, to test
each school’s water supply. The company’s
findings revealed the water in each building is well below the EPA established limit
of .015 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for
lead. Coad recently reported the results to
the board and was asked to share results
with the community.

Claims gardens are racially inspired
To the Editor:
As I drive past the soon-to-be-open
community gardens, missing is the sight
of children and adults having fun playing
basketball. Gardens are about life, growth
and diversity, which are apparently good for
gardens but not necessarily for people. The
city of Brecksville and school board masked
their intentions to keep “undesirable” adults
and children out of the neighborhood by
tearing down our basketball courts and
replacing them with a community garden

Plantar Fasciitis - Heel Pain
An estimated 40 million people complain of heel pain when one or both feet are placed on the floor as
they arise each morning. The pain could be coming from a heel spur, which is a projection of bone on the
bottom of the heel bone. The term plantar fasciitis refers to an inflammation of a ligament that attaches to
the bottom of the heel bone. This pain could be
related to other things such as arthritis or even
a small fracture.
The good news is that simple measures
often will take care of this problem. Some
treatment options such as rest, ice, oral antiinflammatory medications, stretching, cortiJeffrey A.

that could have been located elsewhere.
The courts were teaming with diversity.
People playing there were our residents and
their invited guests, who gathered to play
a simple game that cut across age, ethnic
and racial boundaries and brought everyone
together.
Unfortunately, the city leadership and
school board falsely trumped up claims
of drug dealing and other crimes, unsupported by police records and neighborhood
conversations.
By choosing a path of fear, and turning
away people our local leaders deem as
outsiders who “don’t belong,” they fail our
community and our children. As Dr. King
so eloquently put it in a letter from his
Birmingham jail cell in April 1963: “Never
again can we afford to live with the narrow,
provincial ‘outside agitator’ idea. Anyone
who lives inside the United States can never
be considered an outsider anywhere within
its bounds.”
We can’t help but think how little our
city and school board have progressed from
the 1960s racial divides by choosing a path
of racial bias over a path of courage and
inclusiveness.

Broadview Heights police officer to assist in RNC security
by Ray Jablonski
The Cleveland Police Department expects it will need 5,000 police officers to
provide security during the Republican
National Convention July 18-21, so
it has reached out to law enforcement
agencies across the state for assistance.
Broadview Heights Police Lt. Tim
Scarbrough said one officer from the
department will be assisting with the
RNC. He said the officer is a member
of the Ohio High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force, which comprises 13 counties in the state, including
Cuyahoga and Summit.
“Since it’s a blended task force of federal, state and local officers, they will be
doing whatever the RNC needs them to
do,” Scarbrough said.
Scarbrough said the department’s patrols should not be affected by having an
officer committed to the RNC.
The convention is expected to bring an
estimated 50,000 people to Northeast
Ohio during the week. To keep those
visitors safe, Cleveland police are lining
up 5,000 officers. The Cleveland Police
Department has approximately 1,200
officers in its ranks, so the majority of
officers providing security for the RNC
will be from other law enforcement
agencies.
Some of those officers come from the
ScripType Publishing coverage area,
including 30-40 tactical unit members
from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office
and six officers from the Bath Township
Police Department.
Mayor Sam Alai said other than the
one officer, Broadview Heights police
will not be used as crowd control or
security at the convention and there are
no plans for any other city employees to
be involved with the event.
Alai said he and representatives from
the city’s safety forces have attended sev-
eral meetings regarding the convention.
Scarbrough said the safety forces should
be prepared for the convention, though
he added, “I have no idea what to expect
with the RNC.”
Alai said he does expect Broadview
Heights to get a bit of an economic boost
from the convention.
“We are very glad to have the RNC in
Cleveland and its economic impact on
our region. We obviously expect business such as restaurants and bars to have
increased traffic during the convention,”
Alai said. ∞

Buckeye Trail 50K Race thrives with help of local business
by Dan Baran
It started as a birthday celebration
fun run. Local Brecksville resident and
longtime runner Joe Jurczyk, a partner
of Western Reserve Racing who has competed in more than 100 marathons, ran
30 miles with friends for his 30th birthday
and unofficially the Buckeye Trail 50K
run was born.
That was 21-some years ago. In 2003,
the running store Vertical Runner, located in Hudson and Brecksville, and its
owner, Vince Rucci, took over operations
of the race and slowly built it into what
it is now a 175-participant race that has
been voted Ohio’s “Most Challenging”
M33, V60 BUCKEYE TRAIL

Heights graduate, was the 2015 champion

50 kilometer race.
The race, scheduled for July 9, is an out
and back that traverses part of the Buckeye Trail of the Cuyahoga Valley National
Park, starting in the Brecksville Metro
Park and stretching all the way to route
303 in Boston Heights. The geography of
the course is demanding, with more than
2,500 feet in combined elevation. Even
so, participants are fond of its challenges
and beauty.
“I love the Buckeye Trail,” said runner
Colleen McQuown, 35, of Bath. “It has
everything that makes trail running special: mud, hills, stream crossings, beautiful
views, wild flowers and coyotes. I love the
blue blazes that mark the course. They
always remind me of the Eric Clapton
song ‘Hello Old Friend.’ ”
It’s not merely the beauty of the course
that excites runners. Rucci said the race
is a favorite of participants because, for
many, the Buckeye Trail 50K was their
first race of such distance and because
of the strong sense of camaraderie built
up by the trail running community in
Northeast Ohio.

“We have a very special running community here in Northeast Ohio,” said
Hudson participant Thad Meese, 39,
who placed 65th overall in 2014 with a
time of 6 hours, 36 minutes. “I found
that the trail running community has
embraced me whether I have been running for fun or training for the BT50K.
There is instant camaraderie among runners, a willingness to share stories, water,
food, encouragement and more. We are
fortunate that the best runners among us
are inclusive, not exclusive.”
Among those best runners are the last
year’s champs, David Ryland in the men’s
division and Renee Harden in the women’s, both of whom will return to defend
their victories in July. Ryland, who won
in 2015 with a time of 4:08 minutes – a
remarkable 7:47-mile pace – is a two-time
winner of the race and said it’s one of his
preferred races.
“This is one of my favorite races because
it is such a challenge to the body,” said
the 22-year old Brecksville-Broadview
Heights High School graduate. “Running
at an intense level for four-plus hours in
the summer heat and humidity is truly
pushing the body to the limits.”
The race has a reputation of being well
supported and staffed, with volunteers
and aid stations keeping the runners
healthy and energized throughout the
31-plus miles of trail. ∞

he said. “I can’t say enough about the
Broadview Heights community and how

Klecha recommended calling and asking

Veteran runner encounters chilliest Cleveland Marathon
by Robert Rozboril
Few people are as familiar with the Rite
Aid Cleveland Marathon as is Gary Naim,
47, a Brecksville resident and owner of
Petros Homes Inc. in Broadview Heights.
He’s run in the annual 10K segment at
least 25 times during the 39-year existence of the marathon, by his estimation.
So when he says the weather conditions
for this year’s race were the worst he has
ever encountered, “without a doubt,” that
is saying something.
“I’ve run some cold ones,” Naim said.
“But I never would have thought that
toward the end of May we’d be running
in snow and sleet and rain. I called it the
‘mailman run’ – rain, snow and sleet.”
Naim tweaked his attire for the harsh
conditions, donning a long-sleeved shirt,
hat and cheap “throw-away” gloves. He
said he didn’t feel the need to swap out
his running shorts for sweatpants, as his
legs tend to adjust to the cold fairly well.
The weather wasn’t the only unanticipated element in the race for Naim, who
has grown accustomed to running alongside his wife and sons over the past several
years. Naim’s wife was sidelined by nerve
damage in her toe and his middle son,
Kevin, was asked to sing in his worship
group at church that weekend, May 1415, and felt strongly about participating.
His youngest son is on the track and
field team at Lutheran West High School
in Rocky River and had a district meet
that weekend, so his coach advised him
to abstain from running in the marathon.
“His coach said, ‘Absolutely not. You’re
not going on a road race,’” Naim said.
When the weekend of the race arrived,
it was Naim, his son Derek and Derek’s
friend Ryan Tyransky braving the frigid
conditions together. Derek is a junior on
the football team at John Carroll University and Tyransky, a Berea native, also
attends John Carroll.
“Since we had already paid for the bib
numbers, Derek started calling all his
friends and luckily (Tyransky) was able to
come down and run with us,” Naim said.
Naim finished with a net time of 54:48.
Derek fared better than his father, finishing in 51:10, trailed closely by Tyransky,
who finished at 51:17, wearing the bib

Marathon.
number registered under Kevin’s name.
Naim, like his oldest son, played football at John Carroll and explained how
that experience tied directly into his decision to get involved with the Cleveland
Marathon.
“When I finished playing, I kind of
vowed to myself that I would always try
to stay in shape and maintain my weight
all the way through life,” he said. “Part
of how I decided to do that was to commit to running this 10K every spring; it
kind of keeps me focused on something
throughout the winter to train for.”
Naim has been running the marathon
ever since. His wife began running with
him about 10 years ago, and his sons
joined them when they became old
enough to participate.
“We kind of always make it a family day,”
he said. “We come down, we run and then
we go out to breakfast after that.”
Naim and his son were two of 78
Brecksville residents to register for this
year’s Cleveland Marathon, which included a 5K, 8K, 10K, half marathon
and full marathon and had a total of
11,560 entrants, not all of whom actually
participated. ∞

Student wins spot in Macy’s Great American Marching Band
by Wendy Turrell
St. Joseph Academy sophomore Natalie
Bauman will experience a rare honor in
November, marching as a color guard
member in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
Parade in New York City.
Bauman was chosen in a rigorous audition process that resulted in 250 students
from across the United States being
accepted into the 2016 Macy’s Great
American Marching Band.
Although St. Joseph Academy is an
all-female high school without a marching band, St. Joseph students have the
opportunity to join the marching band
of all-male St. Ignatius High School.
Both high schools are in Cleveland, and
Bauman is a member of the St. Ignatius
flag corps.
Bauman has been involved in color
guard activities for more than two years
and founded St. Joseph Academy’s Winter
Guard, an indoor, competitive sport using
recorded music to perform choreographed
flag and prop
routines. Competitions are

ditioned for the
Great American Marching Band last fall
by video and written application to its
board. Bauman explained that criteria
for color guard selection “was based on
the execution of compulsory color guard
moves, marching skills and self-choreography.” She described the audition process
as “nerve-wracking, because it was my first
time auditioning for such a band.”
Bauman learned she was accepted after
receiving a letter from the Great American
Marching Band’s president. “At first, I
was shocked because I had not expected
to be accepted into the band,’’ she said.
“However, after the initial shock wore off,
I was very excited about this opportunity.”
Bauman said the 250 students will come
together “and practice intensively in NYC
for a week leading up to the parade.”
In the meantime, Bauman will keep her
color guard skills sharp by remaining in
the St. Ignatius marching band, which
includes attending band camp this summer. “I will most definitely be working
to improve my basic skills, physical flexibility and physical strength to prepare
for the intensive week of practice in New
York,” she said.
Great American Marching Band members need $1,500 to pay for their hotel,
food, uniform, sightseeing expenses and
airfare. Bauman is seeking local sponsors
and has a gofundme.com account.
When she isn’t busy with the color
guard, Bauman is a student ambassador
for St. Joseph Academy, writes for the
online blog, Pro-Life Youth, and is an altar
server for the Church of the Assumption
in Broadview Heights. She is the daughter
of Mark and Michelle Bauman and has an
older sister, Libby, studying psychology at
Wittenberg University. ∞

Local alum tackles televised obstacle races
by Laura Straub
Brecksville-Broadview Heights High
School graduate Amy Pajcic is on the run
this summer, and the route she’s taking is
anything but mundane.
Pajcic’s confrontation with two challenging obstacle courses is part of the programming on two NBC shows. She potentially
was set to appear on American Ninja Warrior the week of June 5, and her team is
guaranteed to be on an episode of Spartan
Ultimate Team Challenge on June 23.
“NBC selects who they show or don’t
show on TV, but I have been on American
Ninja Warrior the past two years, so I think
they like me,” Pajcic said.
After years of being a dedicated runner,
the 26-year-old Brecksville resident began
thinking about obstacle courses when she
was in veterinary school at Ohio State
University.
“I had recently finished my first ultra
marathon, the Burning River 100-mile
race that goes through the Cuyahoga Valley
National Park and the Brecksville Reservation, and my first Iron Man triathlon, when
one of my classmates introduced me to another crazy friend Michelle Warnky, a well
known American Ninja Warrior,” Pajcic
said. “She convinced me to compete in the
2013 World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour
obstacle race, and I took third.”
After that Pajcic was hooked.
“A year later I found myself on the podium for the World Championship Obstacle
Race, making me the only woman to have
gotten to the podium for both the World’s
Toughest Mudder and the World Championship Obstacle Race to this day,” she said.
That was the year Warnky convinced Pajcic to sign up for American Ninja Warrior.
“In 2014, I competed in the St. Louis
region of American Ninja Warrior,” she
said. “I did well enough that they sent a
film crew here to Brecksville to shoot a
back story. They also sent me to Las Vegas
to compete in the finals.”
While competing in St. Louis, the producers had a surprise for Pajcic.
“I was reunited with my cousin, Mitch
Pajcic after a 21-year hiatus – we had last
seen each other when we were at 3,” she
said. “Neither of us had any idea the other
was competing, and it was quite a shocker
when we met on set.”
That surprise meeting led Pajcic to
participate in the Spartan Ultimate Team
Challenge.
Teams consist of two men, two women
and an elite athlete selected by NBC to lead
the team. Pajcic filled the role of elite athlete, and led her team of Mitch Pajcic, Chris
Johnson, Amy Winters and Katie Huber.
“It was a lot of fun and one crazy experience, but you’ll have to watch to see all
the details for yourself,” she said. “In the
meantime, I’ll still be racing.”
After her success in the obstacle course
racing arena, Pajcic has picked up some
sponsors, including Ohio Team Beef and
Icebug/OCRgear. She is also on the Conquer the Gauntlet pro team. Meanwhile,
she still works at Animal Clinic Northview
in North Ridgeville.
Through it all, Pajcic follows the advice
from Brecksville-Broadview Heights track
and cross-country coach Bob Schank:
“Enjoy the journey.” ∞

A hive of activity accompanies 10th anniversary of Bees lacrosse
by Charles Cassady Jr.
It has been 10 years since a group of
lacrosse fanciers created the BrecksvilleBroadview Heights High School lacrosse
program.
This year the Bees’ lacrosse team started
the spring with a 9-1 record and finished
the regular season at 12-6, its best record
ever. The team also held a celebration
match and reunion in honor of reaching
its 10th anniversary.
“Many of our games have come down
to a heart-pounding final few moments,
earning the team the borrowed nickname
‘Kardiac Kids of lacrosse,’” said Jennifer
Speer of Brecksville. Mother to both
player Paxton Speer and team videographer Lex Speer, Jennifer also serves on the

team’s parent committee.
In 2006, a number of lacrosse-minded
individuals – especially Connor Lynch
and Lauren Jirousek – pushed to establish the school’s first permanent lacrosse
organization before there were players,
uniforms or a facility to hold matches.
Nonetheless, like characters in a Hollywood-underdog sports movie, they
pulled it off. Owen Rasmussen, a local
youth-ministries director, was recruited to
be the coach. The school administration
granted the newbies permission to play
under the B-BHHS Bees name in 2007
as a club team.
“Owen volunteered countless hours for
the program’s first three years,” Speer said.
The first coach helped the lacrosse team
get a foothold in the district sports scene.
The 2007 Bees played a limited number
of games, all on the road because the team
had no playing field. Nonetheless, that
season established the foundation for a
long-lasting program.
A breakthrough year for the Bees was
2008. That’s when the team became
sanctioned by the Brecksville-Broadview
Heights School District, meaning the
ability to bring competitors to B-BHHS
stadium and to use other school facilities.
With donations from friends and sponsors, the Bees had the wherewithal to
purchase uniforms, goals and the accouterments of a full-fledged team. Camps
and youth leagues in the area brought in
more players. Lacrosse for girls started in
2009 (spearheaded by Lauren Jirousek),
and lacrosse at the middle-school (grades
7 and 8) was instituted in 2012.
On the team’s 10th anniversary, the Bees
have 52 players spread across three teams,
including middle school.
“The team welcomed a new head coach,
Christopher Skinner, in 2015,” Speer said.
“This is his second year as head coach.”
She added, “Many of the players have
gone on to play at the college level, and
two seniors are already committed this
year: Cameron Marous to Ohio Northern
University and Jack Harper to Susquehanna University.”
In 2017, the Ohio High School Athletic
Association will institute lacrosse as an official OHSAA sport. That will provide a betThe BroadView Journal, July 2016

ter framework for official stats and a state
championship, beyond the current status
of lacrosse as a high school club sport.
“There will be playoffs and championships, the same as in football,” Speer said.
“None of this could happen without
tireless dedication by an all-parent run
committee and family volunteers staffing
all game operations.”
She gave high scores to Wendy Lavey,
Melinda Ward, Jon Phillips, Shari Harper,
Mike Livermore, Jackie Kelly, Jim McCrea and Catherine Wurts of the Parent
Committee. “Besides this group, there are
many parents who volunteer their time
to keep stats, spot plays, run the game
clock, announce games, set up the field
and many other critical roles,” Speer said
In April, the Bees held a special game
with a halftime ceremony honoring their
founding players. Present were Connor
Lynch, Anthony Kosan, Frank Kovach,
Mike Michaud, Marko Mijailovic, Drew
Murray, Kyle Strauss, Alex Ulentz, and
Markus Weaver. Also attending was

as `Coach Money,’ ” Speer said). He has
been with the program all 10 years.
The team won several All-Regional
awards, more than any other team. Cameron Marous, senior, made first team; Jack
Harper, senior, Avery Zarlinga, sophomore, and Keali Kovach, junior, all made
second team; Paxton Speer, sophomore,
and David Garee, junior, were awarded
honorable mention.

Brecksville-Broadview Heights Schools
Teens put cardboard boat designs to the test
by Ray Jablonski
Students at Brecksville-Broadview
Heights High School got to experience
how physics can be fun during the third
annual Cardboard Boat Regatta May 23.
Approximately 240 students fashioned
cardboard boxes into boats of many
shapes and sizes, piecing together their
contraptions with duct tape and hoping
the boats would carry participants across
the Brecksville Community Center pool
without capsizing.
Some of the them made it to the finish
line without taking on water, while others
were doomed almost from the start, sinking even before their crews could begin
paddling down assigned lanes.
“This is the last thing the students
are doing this year,” said high school
physics teacher MaryEllen Mauser, who
organized the regatta along with fellow
physics teachers Michael Benich and Jessica Harnist. “It’s a good end of the year

for them.”
Mauser said the physics students put a
lot of effort and thought into their boat
designs.
“I thought this year had some of the
biggest and most creative boats we’ve ever
had,” she said.
In the end, all of the cardboard boats
were recycled, even those that survived
two or three heats. The Brecksville Service
Department hauled away five truckloads
of cardboard from the event.
Mauser thanked the school administration for supporting the science staff in
putting on the regatta. She also was grateful to the city of Brecksville for allowing
the school to use the pool. ∞

North Royalton High
comes to aid of
ill classmate
North Royalton High School sophomore Alec Miciunus was diagnosed with
rhabdomyosarcoma, a form of cancer,
in September 2015. After the news of
Miciunus’ diagnosis became common
knowledge at school, students and staff
began showing him little acts of kindness.
Jim Hoover, his social studies teacher,
discovered that Miciunus was a fan of
Detroit Red Wings player Pavel Datsyuk.
Hoover raised more than $400 from
students and staff to purchase a Datsyuk
autographed jersey and contribute to
Miciunus’ GoFundMe account.
Miciunus’ sophomore classmate, Jordyn
Rozek, sold bracelets to raise more money.
The rubber bracelets were printed with
phrases like “Mighty Miciunus” and “Get
Em Al.” The bracelets produced revenue
of $300.
Teachers Kelly Tesar and Bev Joyce
joined in the acts of kindness after reading his midterm exam prompt, which
revealed the family’s burden of paying
medical bills and Miciunus’ wish that
the family could afford to go to Kalahari
Water Park. Joyce reached out to her two
American literature classes to help raise
$400 plus a Kalahari gift card.
The entire North Royalton High School
staff sponsored a “Jeans Day,” spearheaded
by counselor Michelle Toth. The staff was
permitted to dress down in exchange for
donations to Miciunus, a plan that raised
$800 and a gift basket.
In February, Miciunus’ Spanish teacher,
Debbie Syroney, and her class planned a
dinner and a surprise at Cozumel Restaurant. With money donated from students
and Tri-Star Skateboards, Miciunus was
presented with a new skateboard, skateboard attire and a $100 gift card to a
sporting goods store.
In March, the high school student council held a GloRo Dance, with proceeds of
$1,700 going to Miciunus. ∞

Summer Is Here…
and so is “Poison Ivy”
by Georgann A. Poulos, M.D.
After a long winter and short spring in
northeast Ohio, we are all anxious to get
out and enjoy the warmer weather. Outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping
and gardening, are what make summer a
favorite time of the year. These activities
also increase our exposure to poison ivy,
poison oak and poison sumac dermatitis,
which can spoil some of the fun.
Poison ivy dermatitis is one of the
most common causes of allergic contact
Georgann A
dermatitis. The skin eruption typically
Poulos, M.D.
appears 48 hours after exposure to the
Board-Certified
plant oil called “urushiol.” The reaction
Dermatologist
does not happen with your first exposure.
It occurs after your immune system has been “sensitized” or
primed. Often the plant brushes up again the skin and your
fingers transfer the urushiol to other parts of the body without
even knowing it.
Signs and Symptoms
Severe itching is usually the first symptom of poison ivy
dermatitis. The itching is then followed by a rash, which can
involve blisters of various sizes. Often the rash appears in lines
as “streaks” on the body where the plant oil brushed against
the skin.
Prevention & Treatment
Avoiding plants with “leaves of 3” is the best prevention.
If you are susceptible to poison ivy dermatitis, you want to
avoid touching clothing, tools and even pets that have come
in contact with the plant. If you have a known exposure, wash
the exposed area with water as soon as possible (preferably
within five minutes).
If the rash and symptoms are mild, over-the-counter antihistamine pills taken by mouth may help. Calamine or hydrocortisone
creams can also alleviate the discomfort. If the skin eruption is
more extensive or you are unsure of the diagnosis, seek the care
of a Board Certified Dermatologist for a prescription cream as
early as possible. In very severe cases, oral pills can be used
to calm down the immune reaction. If the rash causes swelling
of your eyelids or if you have trouble breathing, immediately go
to the nearest emergency room.
Our time to enjoy the beautiful weather is short, so don’t let
poison ivy ruin your outdoor summer fun.

Can teeth be straightened without braces?
Yes, No, Maybe.....
by Michael Sabat, DDS, MS
Clear aligners are a tool to move teeth.
There are different types of clear aligner
systems, and there are many different
types of crooked teeth. The aligner system
must fit the needs of the patient.
Aligner treatment can be for one tooth,
many teeth, treating all the teeth, the face,
the smile and function. Patients seek help
to look better and to fix a problem.
The orthodontic specialist must listen to
why the patient is seeking care and then
evaluate the patient’s needs from a professional perspective. The patient is then
educated, and recommendations are
made for the appropriate aligner system
for their needs.
Some aligner systems utilize only three
to five aligners and are only suggested
for very limited movement with often
moderate to good success. Other aligner
systems use 10 or fewer aligners and
can achieve better results. The systems
with more aligners can accomplish more
movement with greater detail.
TheInvisalignsystem offers the best
opportunity for detailed movement because small bumps or “attachments” are

tion of aligners, compared to the old impression techniques, and it’s easier, faster,
and more comfortable for the patient. We
use the new iTeroScanner.
After a scan of the teeth is made, the
orthodontic specialist utilizes his years
of experience in moving teeth to direct
the specific movement of each tooth. A
corrected and often compensated placement of teeth is made according to the
individual patient’s needs. Then all the
aligners are fabricated for that set, to be
delivered to the patient during treatment.
After treating 10,000 patients and
teaching dentists to become orthodontic
specialists in a university graduate department, I can tell you that the learning curve
in orthodontics is very long. Treatment
may take years to accomplish, and only
after an additional number of years can
treatment be fully evaluated. While no one
can do perfect orthodontic treatment for
every patient all the time, nothing improves
the chance of successful comprehensive
treatment like experience.
Being more specific, the knowledge, skill
and experience of an orthodontic specialist, who is dedicated to only the full-time
practice of orthodontics, is your best
choice. With more knowledge, comes
more recognition of details and the “devil
is always in the details.” Aligners are a tool,
and the skill of an experienced orthodontist makes them work. Choose the best
system and the most skilled specialist for
your greater value – the first time.

Don’t Overkill
Your Resistance Training
By Eric Schaefer,
Owner, My Personal Trainer
Broadview Heights
Do you try and train every day, but
aren’t seeing the progress you want
with your strength?
If the answer is “yes,” then you may
be overdoing it.
Many people make this simple mistake with their workouts because of a Eric Schaefer
past mind set of more is better! The
problem is our bodies have no understanding of time or
what day of the week it is. All they respond to is the stress
they’re put under during a workout.
The fact is every time you exercise properly you weaken
the body. It’s the body’s recovery process that actually
produces the desired result, which is muscle.
However, if you overdo this process by overtraining and
not giving yourself ample time to recover, it may cause
your strength progress to plateau or worse serious injury.
It’s like tearing open a scab and not letting the wound
heal. Muscle soreness is a good sign that your muscles
have not yet recovered from the last workout and should
not be worked directly until the soreness has subsided.
At my Personal Trainer all we need is 15-20 minutes of
your time twice a week to achieve effective results with
your workout.
Intensity is the key to our exercise protocol and, if done
properly, will produce heavy breathing, increased heart
rate, elevated body temperature and a temporary (10-20
second) burning sensation in the muscle being exerted.
We also advocate slow, non-ballistic, 10-second repetitions so you’re using mainly strength to perform the movement and not momentum, which in other fitness clubs and
gyms causes the majority of yearly injuries.
By using this protocol, we have never had a serious injury
occur among our clients.
Don’t believe it? Then we challenge you to come in for
two complementary sessions with one of our certified
professional trainers!

I am writing again to remind you it is

EasternCottonwood, a type of Poplar that is present throughout Ohio, is
a tree native to portions of the Eastern

summer, the fruit capsules open to
release their small seeds attached to
many cotton-like strands. It is the con-

for two to three weeks that results in

completely plug
up your outdoor
air conditioning
units coils. The
air conditioning
coil is made up
of aluminum fins
that are spaced
v e r y c l o s e l y,
kind of like the Tom Olecki, owner,
radiator in your Broadview Heating
car. Your air conditioner requires a set amount of air to
pass though this coil as this is how the
heat from your home is released. With a
plugged coil, the air conditioner works
much harder and your electric meter
spins much faster. Depending on how
much you run the air and how close a
Cottonwood tree is, the coil could plug
so completely that the compressor in
your unit could overheat and fail. Compressors are very expensive to replace
(over $1,000) but a little intervention can
save you this money.
It is best to take a look at your air conditioning coil, if you can, during and after the peak Cottonwood season. If you
see any buildup, get it professionally
cleaned as soon as possible. Cleaning
usually involves simply spraying off the
coil with water. Be careful if you want to
try this yourself as you could imbed the
seeds deep into your coils and make
matters worse. Also some units require
partial disassembly to get at all sides of
the coils and this could expose you to
dangerous electrical hazards or moving parts. Also NEVER use a pressure
washer to clean this coil as you will
damage it beyond repair.
Remember there are other contaminants in the outdoor air that will plug
your air conditioner, such as dryer lint,
dandelion seeds and dust, so a yearly
cleaning is recommended to keep your
unit working at its peak efficiency and
prolong its life.
