The City of Westlake Tree Commission and Mayor Dennis Clough were determined to offer the annual Tree City Poster contest to this year’s fifth graders at Dover Intermediate School in Westlake. The Coronavirus certainly made the pos-sibility of it happening more difficult but this year’s fifth graders cer-tainly came through. Two days before the contest was to begin school was closed...but determination pre-vailed. The students were given directions

With God, all things are possible....

The following is a graduation message composed by Bay Vil-lage Council Representative Lydia DeGeorge. It eloquently cap-tures the challenges, disappointments and hopes being faced by 2020 graduates everywhere.

Dear Class of 2020, The end of your high school days carried choices and expecta-tions that were damned. Abandoned were the echoes of academic hallways and the pulse of extracurricular activities. Rhythmic milestone celebra-tions were not to be. The swift disappearance of what you loved, or loved to hate, created personal struggles the likes of which no other recent grad-uating class could have imagined. When the school doors closed behind you and you stepped into quarantine, it seemed your plans slammed shut too. The bully pulled the chair out from under you. The shocked sensations you felt were stifling and heightened in the same instant. It took a moment but you shook it off, you proved you could conquer disruption, you took on the unknown. This is the first time in life you will decide how you want to create your future. COVID19 didn’t just affect your last months of school, it has been a game changer for job and career paths. The vi-rus exposes that it is not the college or the path you choose, it is a fierce work ethic that is of greatest value to you, your family, and your fellow citizens. The jobs many said they never wanted to do emerged to be the very work everyone relied upon, every-one needed. While you carefully and wisely decide what dreams you want to fulfill, know that your community takes pride in your contribution, we take pride in calling you our own. Know that all work has value. Stop comparing yourself to oth-ers. Set and pursue your own goals. Never stop reinventing. Never stop raising your washed hands to ask questions or to help answer. Share, live loudly and tell us what you need. Some will say don’t look back, put this behind you, look ahead. I say remember this abrupt time, take it with you as you jour-ney through all that is unexpected. It will remind you that you already know how to embrace change, look it in the eye, create anew, keep going and do what you once thought impossible. It will remind you we only lost what we took for granted. It will remind you that everyday is your chance. I do not know what your coming days will hold, but I do know that if you decide you need Bay Village, we are here for you. -Lydia DeGeorge, Ward 2 City Councilwoman

To The Class of 2020:“You Already Know How to Embrace Change”

Life has loveliness to sell,All beautiful and splendid things,Blue waves whitened on a cliff,Soaring fire that sways and sings,And children’s faces looking up,Holding wonder like a cup. Life has loveliness to sell,Music like the curve of gold,Scent of pine trees in the rain,Eyes that love you, arms that hold,

And for your spirit’s still delight,Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness,Buy it and never count the cost;For one white singing hour of peaceCount many a year of strife well lost,And for a breath of ecstasyGive all you have been, or could be.Barter~written in 1917~Sara Teasdale

Lydia DeGeorge,Ward 2 City Councilwoman

between 50-60 cars of family mem-bers showed up for their loved ones. “Our residents held signs as they drove by shouted and were able to see their families faces. Up until this day they have only been able to talk to them on the phone, via zoom or face time. “We are doing our best to keep our residents safe and to keep CO-VID out of the facility. The smiles that were on our families and resi-dents faces were priceless! Tears of joy were shed by all. It was truly an amazing and humbling experience.”

University Hospitals Launches “UH Healthy Restart Playbook” to Help Businesses Restart

University Hospitals has announced the rollout of the UH Healthy Restart Play-book – a comprehensive toolkit to help busi-nesses emerge from the COVID-19 crisis. As businesses begin to think about re-opening, they are looking for guidance as to how they can keep their workforce, facilities and customers safe. In response, UH created a playbook as a resource for reopening safely, which includes a website (www.uhhospitals.org/university-hospitals-healthy-restart) with important, up-to-date content; a downloadable version of the UH Healthy Restart Play-book; and an opportunity to ask UH experts for advice. These resources aggregate key recommended best practices in alignment with cur-rent guidance from federal and state agencies. Additionally, UH infectious disease experts provide context and simplification of the material to help employers as they navigate their reactivation implementation plans, arming businesses with strategies for a safe and healthy restart. The health and safety of our community is our highest priority. All of us at UH have been working to care for our community, one patient at a time. Now that businesses and organizations are making plans to return to work, UH wants to be there to help. We know people are looking for trusted health information, and our goal is to share what we have learned around COVID-19 in a way that is helpful to our local businesses. Designed with input from the local business community, the UH Healthy Restart Play-book includes information on what employers need to know, how to keep people safe, guidelines for environmental safety, and recommendations for building trust with employ-ees and customers. Additionally, the “Ask an Expert” (www.uhhospitals.org/university-hospitals-healthy-restart/ask-an-expert) feature enables local businesses to submit ques-tions to UH experts. Answers to the most frequently asked items will then be published online so all viewers may benefit from the guidance provided by UH. Another key resource is the downloadable version of the UH Healthy Restart Playbook, which utilizes UH’s proprietary Screen, Clean and 6-feet In Between™ checklist and is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, UH has been assisting the community through one-on-one consultation and town halls with infectious disease and safety ex-perts, as well as providing information on best practices for staying safe. The creation of the UH Healthy Restart Playbook is an extension of care for the local community, offering resources to help business and nonprofit leaders jump-start their recoveries, while taking proactive steps that help reduce the likelihood of a second surge.

You Have A Large Infection

Dr. Louis Malcmacher

Once I informed the patient of what I found through a clinical and x-ray examination, he had a question for me. He asked me, “Was this around last year”? The basis for his question requires that I tell you a little history of this case. Over a year ago, he called me in extreme pain on his lower right side. Based on his description of the constant pain and inability to close his mouth, I felt that we were deal-ing with, at best, an acutely inflamed tooth. The worst-case scenario would have been a significant infection. Since it is impossible to practice dentistry over the phone, I encour-aged him to come in. He was in such agony that he needed very little convincing to set up this appointment.

When he came in, he was not sure as to the source of the pain. I then proceeded to ask a series of questions that would help me localize the area and hopefully provide him with some relief. Frequently, severe pain in the mouth area can come from other causes then teeth. My first step was to eliminate non-dental issues. Once I felt we were deal-ing with teeth, I needed to do a series of tests to determine which tooth. As is often the case, when he came to me, the pain had gone away. Did he imagine all of the discomfort? It was possible, but not likely. I have treated him and his family for years and knew him well.

I’m sure that many of you are screaming in the back-

ground, “take an x-ray.” Taking an x-ray was part of my diagnostic process. Many times in situations like this, an x-ray is inconclusive. Today I probably would add a 3D image to my visual armamentarium to help me reach a conclusion. I needed to put on my Sher-lock Holmes hat and make a diagnosis based on deductive reasoning. After spending a considerable amount of time with the patient, I determined the source of the pain. We discussed several treatments and together decided to treat the tooth with a root canal procedure. He was leaving on a mission to South America in a few days, and we had to act quickly.

Immediately, after the procedure, he experienced marked improvement and felt great. Off to the airport and he went on his trip. After a few weeks, upon his return, he called me and said that he was 98% better, but still had some lingering issues. I advised him to give it some more time to quiet down totally and that was the last I heard of the problem.

Fast forward a year, and I receive a call with the com-plaint of a broken tooth. This tooth was the second tooth to break in as many days, and could not eat. The second tooth fractured so severely that only half of it was left. At the ensuing visit, I took an x-ray and discovered an infection.

by Jeffrey Gross, DDS, FAGD of The Healthy Smile

Apparently, the source of the lingering pain from last year was a hairline fracture in the tooth. That fracture led to the death of the tooth, which resulted in a bone infection.

Due to space limitations, I will end this column now and explore this a little more in the next article. In the meantime, we are open to answer questions and help you treat your emergencies and pain. Don’t hesitate to call Joyce at 440-892-1810 I wish all of you strength and health for the days ahead.

Outdoor Municipal Pool, Opening June 8th: - The facility will operate on a 3-hours on 1-hour off schedule with reservations strongly encouraged due to capacity limitations. Reservations can be made up to 24 hours in advance at www.rrcity.com/recreation. - We will not offer a seasonal pool pass for the 2020 season but operate on a daily admission rate schedule for residents and guests of residents. - We will not offer communal seating on the pool deck. All pool users will need to bring their own chair/blanket. Additionally, after careful consideration of risk and safety, the Recreation Department has made the decision to cancel our traditional summer day camp program as well as summer youth sports programming (pony league, soft-ball, pee-wee, t-ball, and basketball). Many of our sports programs are in collaboration with other communities and leagues which have col-lectively made the decision to cancel. Our staff will be working on alternative programming that will be announced in the coming weeks. As we prepare for summer, we will con-tinually evaluate the climate of COVID-19 and related guidelines and recommendations from health officials. At this point, we will not be an-nouncing a summer concert series lineup or schedule. As we have better guidance into the latter part of June, we will adjust accordingly. Policies, procedures and hours of opera-tion will be continually evaluated and modified as needed.

City of Rocky River Recreation Update The Bay Village Police Department posted the following story on their Facebook Page:

I am writing in response to a post that was found online (NOT gen-erally a smart thing to do I realize), concerning a male that was walking in Bay Village today peacefully protesting and exercising his God given right of Freedom of Speech as an American. This male was wearing a sign expressing his feelings about the state of the world. Police received a call about a suspicious male in the area. We went to check and saw this male walking on Wolf Road, westbound toward Dover Center Road. Realizing the male was simply protesting, we passed by him and did not stop. In fact, I waved and he waved back. I had no reason to stop him as he was not breaking the law or acting suspicious. This male was later peacefully walking in the area of the police depart-ment. He was approached by Chief Spaetzel who talked to him, thanked him for coming out and offered him a water. As seen in the photo. None of this was done to curry any favor, it is what we do every day. I only offer this narrative to be transparent, as an individual online called out the BVPD for not approaching the male earlier and made ac-cusations of targeted patrolling around him as an intimidation method. It is frustrating that there are members of the community that are trying to divide us instead of bringing us together. Please do not make assumptions and generalizations about indi-viduals if you haven’t taken the time to see both sides of the story. If you don’t know, do not assume, ask. Join the Community Police Academy and learn about your police force as individuals. Please let me know if we can help in any other way. I don’t usually ask, but please share this with friends, neighbors and anyone else who might have questions about law enforcement. Thank you, god bless and stay safe. Sgt. Robert Gillespie

Their work was exemplary. The original poster contest was to celebrate Arbor Day in Westlake but that special day was not allowed to be celebrated this year. The theme of the contest is always “Why trees are important to me!” The students are instructed to research the

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” For more information, contact Community West Foundation at 440-360-7370 or visit communitywestfoundation.org.

Community West Foundation Grants $1,000 to Meal Delivery Effort in Rocky River Community West Foundation issued a $1,000 grant to support the meal delivery effort being organized by the staff and senior residents at Harbor Court in Rocky River. Earlier this month the group made headlines when they delivered home cooked meals to people in need. “People are surprised to see that our senior residents, many of whom are in their 80’s and 90’s, are stepping up to help deliver these meals,” commented Cydney Bare, Executive Director at Harbor Court. Community West Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations that provide the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and medical care in the western Cleveland area. “When

I read about their outreach efforts, I knew we had to do something to support them. Food security is a concern for many families during this tough time,” said Marty Uhle, President and CEO.
