Avon Firefighter
A Cancer Story
“Loves Her Through It”
“I’m Gonna Love You Through It.”
Those words from the popular Martina McBride Country & Western hit add up
to more than just a pop song for Avon firefighter John Gansor, his wife, Marla, and
their daughter, Grace.
The song is a biographic anthem that captures the spirit of Marla’s battle with
breast cancer and recovery at home supported by her husband and teenage child.
“When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on”
John shared the moving story of how he and Grace nursed Marla through post
surgical recovery, rehabilitation and return to health during her battle with breast
cancer four years ago.
From changing surgical dressings to getting meals, performing nursing tasks and
being a pillar of strength, John shared how cancer is a disease that impacts the whole
family. He spoke at the 19th annual Triumph for the Cure golf luncheon at Westwood

And Day of Game at the Stadium
Country Club two weeks ago. The annual fundraiser, presented by Community West
Foundation, supports The Breast Health Center at Fairview Hospital.
Audience members were moved not only by John’s story of selfless commitment
to his life partner, but also the moment he broke down in tears when her bandages
were removed.
“She made it through the surgery fine
They said they caught it just in time
But they had to take more than they planned”
“What I want people to know is that you have to show your wife love and tell her
she is beautiful. She has had to face a horrible disease and that means you need to
show the support she needs and the respect she deserves,” said Gansor.
Gansor’s response to Marla’s recovery is one of gratitude. “I just feel so blessed
to have her,” said Gansor. “When she took the bandages off, I just broke down and
cried,” said John. “But, like our daughter Grace who helped so much in the recovery,
we did everything we had to do in stride. I am just so proud of them both.”
For Dr. Debra Pratt, Medical Director of the Breast Center at Fairview Hospital
and Marla’s physician, the song also carried heart tugging significance as it played in
background to a slide show of cancer patients in various stages of recovery.
“She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just confirmed her fears”
“That song is about a phone call I have made a thousand times,” said Dr. Pratt,
her voice choked with emotion. “It never gets any easier.”
But Triumph for the Cure is about courage. Even as audience members wiped
tears from their eyes, Gansor was interested in calling attention to this weekend’s
Fourth Annual Breast Cancer Charity Softball game featuring the Avon police and
firefighters against their Avon Lake counterparts.
“I am not doing this just for my wife. I am doing this for all the women out there
who have to face this disease. And I am not doing it alone. It would not be possible
without the support of Avon Mayor Jim Smith, Fire Chief Frank Root, Firefighters Local 4310 and, of course, the Lake Erie Crushers. I need the support of all these people.”
“And when this road gets too long
I’ll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.”

Kiddie Kollege Expands to Bayway Cabin
There will be new life for an old friend in Bay
Village this school year.
Bayway Cabin, the traditional social spot for
kids located in Cahoon Park that dates back to the
1960’s, will soon be home to the Kiddie Kollege
Kids Club on the Lake.
The Kiddie Kollege-Bayway Cabin collaboration promises excellence at an exceptional value in
child care for the community.
“This project fulfills a need in our community for additional child care,” says Mayor Debbie
Sutherland. “It helps one of our local businesses to
expand, it puts a building back into use, and also
creates a revenue stream.”
A Best of the West winner for six straight
years in the category of best private preschool,
JoAnn Moell’s Kiddie Kollege locales in six west
shore communities are the leader in day care and
child care. Kiddie Kollege is also a Best of Lorain
County winner for 2010 & 2011, and a 2012 finalist. Moell started this recognized family of day
care centers back in 1975 in a Westlake church.
The unique idea of adding a second location in Bay Village brings back into play Bayway
Cabin in a way that connects with many residents’
youthful memories.
It had been a city-run community Youth Center for the past several years, but the city discontinued the building’s use because of budget cuts.
Bay’s Cahoon Park Trustees and City Council
approved a plan allowing Kiddie Kollege daycare
center to operate a latchkey program at Bayway
Cabin last spring.
Upgrades and improvements have since been
made, and the grand opening will take place early
August, in plenty of time for the new school year.
Kiddie Kollege will pay both rent and property
taxes under this win-win agreement with city.
The location of the Day Care Center in Cahoon Park will bring added amenities to the program offerings. Use of Bay Village’s ball fields, tennis courts and pool will be part of the program.
The Day Care Center will embrace the philosophies that have made Moell’s schools successful in all Kiddie Kollege locations.
“Kiddie Kollege’s goal for the child is to
provide opportunities for being with other children in a setting conducive to the development
of wholesome social relationships.
We provide appropriate play experiences that contribute to the developmental needs of the child. We

The designation comes just a month
after Cleveland Magazine’s rating of Bay
Village as the Cleveland area’s top suburb.
“Bay Village is our No. 1 suburb this
year, thanks to its strong schools, low crime
and stable, growing home-sale values,” says
the Cleveland Mag story.
“We’re seeing a big influx of new and
young families moving into Bay Village,”
says Mayor Deborah Sutherland. “You can With tried and true family oriented businesses

Mother Nature’s Fireworks
Delay Crocker Park Event
Cleveland Pops Orchestra conductor Jason Seber
donned his shades as part of Crocker Park’s successful
bid to set a Guinness Book of World Records mark for
wearing sunglasses at night.
Crocker Park set a Guinness Book of
World Records mark at its 8th annual Liberty
Fest July 1. But the 760 folks who wore their
sunglasses at night could have used wiper blades on their shades for the rain-delayed event.
As Cleveland Pops Orchestra conductor Jason Seber neared the conclusion of another terrific annual patriotic concert, he donned sunglasses along with orchestra members and invited a select group from the audience to earn a confirmed notation from a
representative of the Guinness Book of World Records.
The record setting bid was a take-off on a 1980’s pop song, “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night.”
The concert featured great patriotic tunes like the Battle Hymn of the Republic
and Stars & Stripes Forever. It was followed by Crocker Park’s customarily tremendous
fireworks show. It was too bad that Mother Nature’s fireworks came first and delayed
the start of the Liberty Fest program to about 8:45 p.m. Crocker Park fireworks went off
about 10:30.
Steve Rubin, representing the shopping center, shared a special moment on stage with
disabled Army Cpl. Josh Sommers of Ashland, critically injured in a roadside bombing
in Afghanistan two years ago. Crocker Park presented Sommers with a specialized aqua
wheelchair to aid in his continuing rehabilitation as guests offered a standing ovation.
The previous world record for wearing sunglasses at night is reported to be 671.
Three Westlake Teens
Make 2012 AllStars Tour
Three Westlake teenagers--all

2012 at rock venues throughout
the Midwest alongside professional
bands and with the franchise’s most
talented young musicians hailing
from surrounding states. Students

Cleveland on July 8th at Brothers Lounge.
Stars Tour include Westlake High
School students Jake Cohen (17) and Dan Hyland (16), and recent St. Ignatius graduate Evan
Nickels (18), also from Westlake.
Returning AllStar veteran Evan Nickels, who practices guitar 15 hours a week, says, “I’m
looking forward to the shows and seeing all the other musicians again. Performing is about playing
the songs, being a part of the band and interacting with the other kids.”
Jake Cohen, also on the tour for the second time, likes the professionalism. “We get there,
and we literally have two days of rehearsal. First time AllStar Dan Hyland said, “I was really
stunned—I did not think I was going to make the AllStars. I tried out for drums and I made it for
bass! Before School of Rock, I wasn’t really music affiliated,” said Hyland. “Ever since I’ve been
here, I’ve gotten a lot better and I’ve grown more confident.”

Bay Village Dairy Queen®
Miracle Treat Day
There are blizzards in the forecast for
Thursday, July 26 but it’s all for a good cause.
That’s the date of the 7th Annual DQ® Miracle
Treat Day when the Dairy Queen® system invites friends, neighbors and families to support
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, an organization that raises funds for hospitals across
the United States and Canada.
Dairy Queen at 618 Dover Center in Bay
Village will donate all proceeds from every Blizzard Treat sold to Rainbow Babies & Children’s
Hospital, one of the 170 hospitals supported by
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals ensures that
when a donation is made at a local DQ, it stays
in the community to help local kids.
The Bay Village DQ has participated in
Miracle Treat Day since 2006. “Miracle Treat
Day has become such a tremendous celebration
for us here in Bay Village, as well as a powerful fundraiser for Rainbow Babies & Children’s
Hospital,” said Alana Peters, owner. “Everyone
eagerly anticipates this special day during the
summer when Blizzard Treats and smiles all
add up to helping the sick children in our community. This is an especially exciting year for
our store as we are celebrating our 50th year in
Bay Village.”
Dairy Queen locations throughout the
United States and Canada raised more than $5
million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in local communities last year.
Sunflower Wine Festival
Returns to Rocky River
Old Detroit Road in Rocky River is serving
as host to the Sunflower Wine Festival on Sat.,
July 14 from 4 p.m. – midnight. The annual fundraising event offers wine and beer gardens, food
trucks from the area’s best restaurants, and live
entertainment. Proceeds and event visibility are
benefiting the Prayers From Maria Children’s
Glioma Cancer Foundation.
Monica Robins from WKYCTV3 and her band are performing
onstage in the afternoon and local
favorite Cleveland’s Breakfast Club
performs in the evening.
“We were humbled last
year when the festival’s attendance doubled over the previous year, which was a sell out,”
said Ed McNamara, foundation
president. “To build on that mo-
mentum and serve a larger audience, we‘ve been
working closely with the City of Rocky River to
provide more fun, entertainment and opportunities to appreciate local restaurants and shops,
while safely enjoying wines and craft brews.”
Prayers from Maria Children’s Glioma Cancer Foundation (www.prayersfrommaria.org)
is dedicated to funding global research into the
causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for the
deadliest childhood brain tumors known as gliomas; raising public awareness about gliomas and
bringing hope to children and families who deal
with the disease’s hardships. Its annual Sunflower
Wine Festival helps build awareness about deadly childhood brain tumors and funds promising
research with results. The foundation was established by Ed and Megan McNamara of Avon
Lake, Ohio, who lost their daughter Maria to this
devastating illness.

Circle the Wagons!
A Bay Village Fourth of July tradition is the annual Bike,
Trike and Wagon Parade. Kids turned out in great patriotic garb
and imaginative costumes at this Bay Days highlight sponsored by
Bay Kiwanis. Bay Police officer Darren Ingham led the way as kids
circled the road around the gazebo. It was all in the spirit of good,
old-fashioned, all-American fun last Wednesday, July 4.

WHS Graduate Earns
Fulbright Fellowship
Westlake High School graduate Adrianne Barbo (2002)
was recently awarded a 2012-2013 Fulbright Student Fellowship to teach English at a Moroccan university.
Barbo, a graduate teaching assistant in The Ohio State
University’s Department of French and Italian, will be carrying out research for her PhD dissertation, doing some comparative work between Arabic and French literature written
during the period of the French colonization of the Maghreb,
and studying Moroccan Arabic. Barbo specializes in North
African Francophone literature and culture, Beur literature
and Islam in France.
In her dissertation, Barbo will examine resistance to prescribed (or predetermined) identities. For example, the hijab
(or Islamic veil) was outlawed in French schools and public institutions and deemed “incompatible with French-republican
values.” Barbo will look at how a French-Muslim woman’s resistance to a prescribed identity plays out in this new context.
She also will examine the use of language in North African
texts – Arabic v. French – music and film in her studies on
identity and resistance.
Since she left WHS, Barbo was the recipient of the Price Traveling Scholarship through the Dijon
Study Abroad Program at the Universite de Bourgogne, Dijon, France, in 2005; earned a BA in French/
Comparative Studies from The Ohio State University, graduating Magna cum Laude in 2006; and earned
an MA in French: North African Francophone Literature/Culture, Medieval French, Linguistics/Translation in 2008 from OSU, where she also served as a French instructor. She is pursuing PhD studies in
French, North African Francophone Literature and Culture.
Barbo also was a high school English instructor in Marseille, France, in 2008 and 2009 with the English
Teaching Assistantship Program through the French Ministry of Education. She also was a Critical Language
Scholarship (Arabic) recipient through the U.S. Department of State in Alexandria, Egypt, in 2010.
Barbo studied French under Nicolette Miller at WHS.

“It is about celebrating life,” said Bill
Finn, CEO of Hospice of the Western Reserve at the grand opening of The Ames
Family Hospice House in Westlake June 25.
“We have an extraordinary team and
I am profoundly blessed to be part of that
team,” said Finn.
The new Ames Family Hospice House
is a beautiful facility, standing on 40 acres of
wooded seclusion. But Hospice is a philosophy, not a place, a platform of care built on a
foundation of compassion.

the old Bonne Bell jogging trails are still in place on the Crocker Road property, keeping
a Westlake community legacy alive. Flat screen TVs with cameras in patient rooms offer
virtual electronic visits. Families may visit and spend nights, use exercise rooms, bathrooms
and laundry. Even the interior lighting is tuned to residential rather than institutional tones.
Route 57 and Homewood Drive, Lorain
A trip up the driveway takes you home, not to a hotel or hospital. Caregivers and volunteers
abound.
Finn credits architect Tom Mullinax with going the extra mile in conceptualizing a sensitive and comforting environment. “Nowhere in the country will you see anything like this,” said
Finn. “You won’t see medical equipment anywhere.”
“This is an extraordinary group of highly talented, very motivated professionals who are
making a huge difference in the lives and patients of families every day. The quality of care that
I see here is truly unsurpassed,” said Finn.
The Ames Family Hospice House brings a significant increment of care to the Hospice
of the Western Reserve family of care facilities. “We are able to provide care at home, at
nursing homes, at our David Simpson Family Hospice House and now the Ames Family
Hospice House, really throughout nine counties of northeast Ohio in responding to requests for care from anyone who wants our support and
service. We have an extraordinary team,” said Finn.
