The City of Bay Village held a 2017 Planning Meeting at LaCentre last Satur-day that lasted from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. and covered a multitude of topics that will come into play over the coming months. “We used to do this all the time,” said Law Director Gary Ebert, who or-ganized the session during his tenure as interim Mayor. “It is a good way for all parties in the city to interact.” The comprehensive agenda was at-tended by all city council members and department heads. Newly sworn in May-or Paul Koomar also sat in and reported that he has spent his first days in office meeting with department heads and set-ting priorities as the city moves forward in 2017. “There are many things on the agen-da. 2017 could be a very exciting year,” said Koomar. Some highlights: - An hour-long presentation by CarrieAnn Rosemark, Supt. Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant helped the audience under-stand why Bay sewer bills have escalated and how future flow meter readings may assist the city in understanding ways the critical issue of water treatment and expense may be ad-dressed. - Finance Director Renee Mahoney re-ported that Bay reserves are now at $1.9 mil-lion - “where we want them to be” - thanks to a increase in Bay municipal income tax col-lections combined with the streamlining of city services. - Reports from Commission Heads (Plan-ning, Architectural Board of Review, Board of Zoning Appeals) indicated that the city’s agree-ment with SafeBuilt - a third party Building Department management resource - could be improved with the addition of a city liaison to help SafeBuilt better understand Bay Code and civic history. - The City is working more closely with CEI to solve power outage problems. - Police Chief Mark Spaetzel said the city is moving forward “as quickly as possible” in naming a part-time Animal Control Officer. - Recreation Director Dan Entovich an-

nounced that the city is in receipt of a $60,000 grant ($10,000 per year for 6 years) from the Coulton family dedicated to Bay’s tennis courts. Wi-fi at the swimming pool will also be im-proved. - Clete Miller and Scott Pohlkamp an-nounced plans for Community House fun-draisers to take place this year. Originally a Cahoon Family barn, the Community House is a building of historic significance to the com-munity. Cathy Flament of Rose Hill Museum also reported on needs for the original Cahoon House. “It is an awesome museum. We are part of the Ohio Inter-Museum Council and other museums don’t even compare to ours,” she said. - Leo Mahoney of the Tree Commission documented Bay’s commitment as a Tree City and affirmed the city’s goal of placing a tree on every tree lawn. Bay will also present a tree canopy ordinance this year requiring even residential owners to replace trees of 8 inch diameter or more when one is removed. “We are trying to preserve the character of Bay Vil-lage,” he said. “The tree canopy is a community asset….the removal of any protected tree will be mitigated by replacement.” “This is the first time I have ever seen a commission develop an ordinance,” complimented Councilman Dave Tadych. “These folks spent many 6 and 7 hour nights doing this.” - City Council Vice President Dwight Clark summed the meeting appropriately. “This is going to be a transformational year in 2017,” he said. With $1.9 million in reserve funds, a high AA1 Moody’s Bond rating, an 18 per cent yearly paydown of debt and a gen-eral feeling of positivity surrounding both City Council and the new Koomar administration, Bay will move forward on many fronts in 2017 including road improvements and other large capital projects. “We should be very proud of what we have here in Bay Village,” said Clark. “It is something very special.” The entire five-hour meeting can he heard on the city website, www.Cityof-BayVillage.com under the City Council link. Council Clerk Joan Kemper will also issue print versions.

High School Wrestling season started fast and furious at the Ironman Invitational at Walsh Jesuit High School on December 9-10 when, for the 23rd year, the top teams and individuals nationwide converged on the Cuyahoga Falls school for the country’s toughest tournament. “Big names lost, dozens of the 60 state champs in attendance Did Not Place, and some new stars were born. Business as usual here

in what has become an iconic event in its 23rd year,” writes Cleveland area wres-tling expert Bob Preusse in this month’s edition of Amateur Wrestling News. “Seven wrestlers ranked first in the country by AWN at their respective weight class were in the field, along with seven of the top 10 teams, including the top three.” A reporter from Pennsylvania compared this year’s Ironman to 1997: “What a difference 19 years make. This reporter last attended the Ironman in 1997, before almost any of the wrestlers competing this weekend were even born. It was a good tournament then. Now, it’s a phenomenal one. In 1997, there were plenty of elite wrestlers walking the halls at Walsh Jesuit, Now, it seems that there’s nothing but elite athletes....

St. Edward’s depth gave the Eagles the runner-up crown despite no champs, and perennial Ohio power St. Paris Graham slipped to 6th. It was an incredible tournament that lived up to the reputation earned by past greats like Logan Stieber and David Taylor who won prep champi-onships there.

The Bay High basketball team scored big for the community cancer-support organi-zation Village Project last week by volunteering to paint the offices of the Village Project. Michael Murray, a Village Project Vice President and owner of Textbook Painting, credits the team and player Jack Jelen for taking the lead on the effort. “It was a great job by the Bay Boys Basketball team to make this happen and I was happy to help organize and supervise it,” said Murray. “I thought it would go well, but they exceeded my expectations. Everyone had a

great attitude and worked hard to get the painting done. Big thanks from The Village Project! Bay Village, you should be proud to have these guys represent the community!” Textbook Painting is located in Lakewood. They paint the exterior of homes, decks, fences, etc during the sum-mer.

With its first-ever team championship at the 56th annual Brecksville Holiday Tournament, the Elyria High wrestling team showed that it is serious about making a run at the 2017 OHSAA Div. I state championship. Coach Erik Burnett’s crew placed a record eight individuals and crowned two individual champions in J.T. Brown (182 pounds) and Kev-in Vough (285). The effort brought the Pioneers a title at the toughest post-Christmas tournament in the state. They beat runner-up Mechanicsburg by four points in the 47-team field and also topped some recognized powers like host Brecksville and Cincinnati school LaSalle and Elder. The Pioneers had a strong showing through

Fourteen different college programs were high-lighted in showcase bouts at the 51st annual National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Star Classic on November 5 at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center. Along with the 14 different schools, Olympian Haley Augello faced Junior World Team member Bec-ka Leathers in a women’s freestyle bout and a pair of bouts also took place featuring local high school and middle school wrestlers. The event, presented by The Brewer-Garrett Com-pany and hosted by the Wrestlers in Business Network, has served as the major kick-off event for the wrestling season since becoming and early-season event. In 2012, the event moved to the first weekend of the major col-lege wrestling calendar and has been a fixture ever since. “One of the big draws to hosting the event is the ability to showcase the nation’s top wrestlers, but to also showcase local athletes, programs and competi-tors who come from a given area but may compete out of state,” said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer.

The Mercy Foundation of Lorain County has announced that two high-profile an-nouncements will be coming in 2017. “Looking ahead to 2017, the foundation is set to unveil two high-impact projects which have been made possible by some truly transformative donors,” reports Founda-tion President Scott Pember. “These entities have chosen to partner with Mercy in a significant, lasting way by securing the naming rights on two very exciting new projects. Truly, as we reflect on 2016 and our hopes for the year to come, we have much to be grateful for.” The foundation receives requests for funding from numerous sources, including physicians, staff, clinical departments and individual program managers. Because there are always more requests than available funds, decisions are guided by how the request will support the Mercy mission and provide a margin of excellence that would otherwise not be possible. Funds are awarded in a variety of categories – to purchase new medical equipment, to provide cutting-edge educational opportunities to physicians and staff and to make Mercy’s high quality healthcare accessible to every member of the greater Lorain community.

If you are a “millennial” – born anywhere from the early 1980s to the late 1990s – then you’re still in the early stages of your career. And that means you’ve got the luxury of put-ting time on your side as you save and plan for retirement. So, here are a few tips for making the most of that time: First, invest early and often. Even if you are at the very beginning of your career, make investing a priority. At first, you might only be able to contribute a small amount each month, but at least you’ve got a start. Also, take full advantage of your 401(k) or similar plan. At a minimum, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. Finally, invest more as your earnings increase. Every time your salary goes up, boost your contributions to your 401(k) plan. You might also want to open a traditional or Roth IRA. Keep on investing throughout your life. As a millennial, you’ve got plenty of the one asset that can never be replaced: time. Use it wisely. Dana Banyasz, is your Edward Jones financial advisor located at 574 Dover Center Rd., Bay Village.

Anne Dill, gifted teacher at Westlake High School and Lee Burneson Middle School, was selected as a winner of the 2016 Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching in Middle and High School. Dill won the award based on letters from students and colleagues, who acknowledged Dill’s hard work and going above and beyond what is expected of an American Mathematics Competition (AMC) manager to help her students do their best and enjoy mathematics. “Your encouragement and commitment to your students had made a noticeable dif-ference in your students’ problem-solving abilities and love of mathematics,” the commit-tee wrote in a letter to Dill. Dill is one of 34 to receive the award nationwide, and the only recipient from Ohio. The award was created from a bequest from Edyth May Sliffe, a high school math-ematics teacher at Emery High School in California. The award from the Mathematical Association of America recognizes high school and middle school mathematics teachers whose teams participate in MAA AMC Competitions. While Sliffe’s students always received various honors for their performance, the teachers supporting them rarely were recognized. She made this bequest because she felt that hard-working teachers deserve recognition, too.
