Garfield Heights High School Basketball Player Back in the Game After Surgery on Both Hips to Repair Labral Tears
The summer before Kyle Stergis’ sophomore year at Garfield Heights High School was typical; most of his free time was spent playing basketball, a sport he’s loved since he was very young. But one day during a game of five-on-five with friends, he landed awkwardly and immediately felt pain in his right hip.
An initial trip to Kyle’s primary care physician did not indicate a serious problem – ice to reduce swelling and plenty of rest were prescribed. However, the basketball program at Garfield Heights is competitive and strict, so the dedicated point guard played through his sophomore year and the following summer basketball season with a
nagging ache in his right hip. What he didn’t realize was, due to the pain he experienced in his right hip, he placed additional pressure on his left hip and ended up damaging both.
That’s when Kyle’s father, Sirrom, took him to see Michael Salata, MD, at University Hospitals Department of Orthopaedics. Dr. Salata is an associate orthopaedic surgeon for the Cleveland Browns, and he, along with his partners James Voos, MD, and Sean Cupp, MD, treat Cleveland Browns players if injuries occur.
A thorough examination and MRI revealed that Kyle had labral tears in both hips; the cartilage that provides stability to both of his hip joints had
torn. Dr. Salata performed bilateral hip scope surgery on Kyle: the left hip first, in February 2013, and then the right hip in July. “When I met Dr. Salata, he seemed like a real up-front guy,” said Kyle. “He was honest and told me that about 75 percent of people who have this surgery have good results. I trusted him.” The surgery was a complete success, and was followed by months of rehabilitation. Kyle was cleared to play in November of his junior year. Anxious to get back into the game, he gave it everything he had and beat a senior for a starting spot on the team.
“After the surgery, I felt so much better,” said Kyle. “I was faster and I could jump higher. Dr. Salata is the
best; he helped me continue to play the game that I love. I’d recommend him to anyone.”
As a senior, Kyle and his Garfield Heights High School teammates made it all the way to the state final, where they lost a hard-fought battle with Westerville. A member of the graduating class of 2015, Kyle received a basketball scholarship to play at North Dakota College of Science where he will study sports management. After college, Kyle’s dream is to play basketball overseas, preferably in France or Brazil.

On February 14, 137 he married Jannie Mae Harper. To this union was born seven children: Bertha, Kelton, Millissa, Joseph, Lonia, Roman and
Bernard.From February 1, 1944 through
November 6, 1945 he served in active duty in World War II aboard the LLC 966 Navy vessel. After the war he came home to support his family.
In the late 40s, Kelton came to Cleveland, Ohio to seek better employment opportunities. He found a job as a construction worker and purchased a house and sent for
his family in the early 50’s. He and his family joined the Second Metropolitan Baptist Church where he was active in Sunday School, the Male Chorus, Trustee Board and Deacon Board to name a few.
His wife passed away in 1960 and later Kelton remarried to Doris M. Mauldin in 1961. He retired form

Cuyahoga Housing Consortium Awards Funding to Cuyahoga County Housing Organizations
Cuyahoga County, on behalf of the Cuyahoga Housing Consortium has awarded funding to North Coast Community Homes and Catholic Charities Housing Corporation. The Cuyahoga Housing Consortium receives federal housing development funds, under the HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME Program) to support the development of safe and affordable housing for adults with disabilities and other low-income persons and families. The awards are 100% federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s (HUD) HOME Investments Partnerships Program.
The Cuyahoga Housing Consortium review board consists of one member from the following; Cuyahoga County, Cleveland Heights, Euclid, Lakewood and Parma. Six
applications for 2015 funding were received by the Cuyahoga Housing Consortium. Three applicants met the requirements for funding: North Coast Community Homes, Catholic Charity Housing Corp. and Eden Inc.
North Coast Community Homes has been awarded $312,520 to purchase and renovate three single family homes for rental to disabled adults. For the first time in 20 years, North Coast Community Homes will use a portion of Cuyahoga County’s funding to purchase and renovate two of the three homes for rental by adults living with Multiple Sclerosis. For more than twenty years, North Coast Community Homes has used Cuyahoga County’s federal housing development funding to buy and renovate homes for rental to adults with developmental disabilities.
North Coast Community Homes is a non-profit organization, developing community rental housing for disabled adults.
“North Coast CHDO Homes is very pleased to receive this funding,” said Stephen McPeake, President & CEO, North Coast Community Homes. “It will help develop the first two fully accessible community integrated homes for individuals with Multiple Sclerosis in the Midwest. The third home will assist in the movement of individuals out of a large state run developmental center to small community based housing. This funding was critical in our ability to leverage other additional funds to make these three homes a reality.”
Catholic Charities Housing Corporation has been awarded $150,000 to purchase and renovate
three single family homes for rental to a total of twelve adults with disabilities. Each adult will rent a private room, with shared use of common areas including kitchen and bath.
“The Catholic Charities Housing Corporation is extremely grateful to Cuyahoga County and the Housing Consortium for the $150,000 in HOME funds,” said Lawrence Murtaugh, Executive Director, Catholic Charities Housing Corporation. “The funds will greatly assist in the renovation of group homes for persons with developmental disabilities. Our residents look forward to their new homes and to be part of the respective communities.”
July 15 is National Pet Fire Safety Day Valley Save-a-Pet, Inc. reminds readers
that July 15 is National Pet Fire Safety Day. Pet owners should create or review their existing fire safety plan for the successful evacuation of all members of their household, including their beloved furry or feathered friends. To create a plan, start with these three basic tips:
1. Pet proof your home. Troubleshoot for loose wires, lit candles, embers in a fireplace, and even stovetop knobs, which can spark a fire if a curious pet is
“left in charge” while you are away. 2. When you are away from home,
secure your pets near entrances, where fire fighters can find them more easily.
3. Place a Pet Alert window cling, listing the number/type of pets, on a front window or glass portion of the front door, so rescuers know what they are looking for. For a free window cling, stop by Valley Save-a-Pet’s resale shop, The Purrfect Place, 715 Broadway, in the heart of historic Bedford. Many local fire departments have these on hand as well,
or they may be ordered online. More than 500,000 pets are affected
by home fires each year. Ensure that your precious pets are not part of this statistic by anticipating potential problems and resolving them before you leave your pets home alone.
Valley Save-a-Pet is a nonprofit, all volunteer humane organization, dedicated to alleviating unnecessary suffering and mistreatment of animals since 1976. Well known throughout
Northeastern Ohio, we invite you to learn more about our mission, our members, our programs and volunteer opportunities at our website, www.valleysaveapet.org. Thank you for helping the animals!

Beginning the end of June, the Cleveland Museum of Art will exhibit a monumental work by British artist Anish Kapoor, C-Curve, a stainless steel sculpture, in the Donna and Stewart Kohl Sculpture Garden. The sculpture comprises a curved wall of reflective steel in the shape of the letter C. The outer side of the piece functions as a typical mirror, reflecting the museum’s architecture. On the inner side, the reflections are inverted: viewers, clouds, cars and bikers all pass across the silver screen in an upside-down version of real life.
Placed towards the north end of the sculpture garden, C-Curve is a one-year loan from a private collector.
“Anish Kapoor is one of today’s most important and influential contemporary sculptors,” said William M. Griswold, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art. “I am extremely grateful for the generous loan of C-Curve, which will enliven the museum’s exterior north space and enthrall passers-by.”
“We are excited to add another
s c u l p t u r e by a highly-acc la imed artist to the Donna and S t e w a r t K o h l S c u l p t u r e G a r d e n , ” stated Reto T h ü r i n g , a s s o c i a t e curator of
contemporary art. “The installation of C-Curve shows the CMA’s ongoing efforts not only to regularly change what’s on view in the galleries, but to understand the museum as an expanded field for experimentation that extends beyond its walls.”
Anish Kapoor, (b. 1954) is a British-Indian sculptor. Kapoor has lived and worked in London since the early 1970s.
He represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1990. In 1991 he received the Turner Prize and in 2002 received the Unilever Commission for the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. Notable public sculptures include Cloud Gate in Chicago’s Millennium Park; Sky Mirror, exhibited at the Rockefeller Center in New York City in 2006 and Kensington Gardens in London in 2010; Leviathan, at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2011; and ArcelorMittal Orbit, commissioned as a permanent artwork for London’s Olympic Park and completed in 2012. This summer Kapoor was invited to install five giant sculptures in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, near Paris.

Red Cross urges blood and platelet donations to make up for expected shortfall due to Fourth of July holiday travel
The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to make an appointment now to give blood or platelets and help prevent a summer shortage.
The call for donations is supported by a recent survey of Red Cross blood and platelet donors showing that more than 40 percent plan to travel the week before or after Independence Day, an indicator that many eligible donors may be unavailable to give. In addition, fewer blood drives are scheduled the week before and after Independence Day, because many hosting organizations postpone blood drives while people are on vacation.
Blood donors with all types, especially O negative, A negative and B negative, and platelet donors are urged to schedule an appointment. Those who come to donate from July 2-6 will receive a Red Cross embroidered baseball cap, while supplies last. To make an appointment and for more information, download the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call
1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).“Adding blood or platelet donation to
a vacation to-do list can mean so much to patients and their families,” said Christy Peters, External Communications Manager, Northern Ohio Blood Services Region. “It’s a simple act, taking as little as an hour, but can touch many lives.”
Suburban Propane steps up to support summer blood and platelet donations
Suburban Propane is the official sponsor of the Red Cross “100 days of summer. 100 days of hope.” campaign. The nationwide energy provider is supporting an advertising public awareness initiative about the constant need for blood and platelet donations. They are encouraging employees and customers to give blood or platelets and volunteer at Red Cross blood drives and facilities. It is one of the largest national volunteer commitments to the Red Cross Blood Services from a corporate partner.
“Suburban Propane is committed to
giving back to our communities, and we can’t think of a better way than by helping the Red Cross increase blood and platelet donations for patients in need this time of year,” said Suburban Propane’s Chief Operating Officer Mark Wienberg. “We encourage individuals across the country to join the Suburban Propane family in rolling up a sleeve to help save lives.”
Suburban Propane employee and platelet donor, Will Haropolous, learned that the need for blood may be closer than one thinks. Haropolous stopped by a restaurant he frequents following a platelet donation, and one of the restaurant staff asked about the bandage on his arm. “I told her that I just donated. She confided in me that she was a hemophiliac and then thanked me. By donating, you may be helping save the life of a total stranger, or it just may be someone you know,” said Haropolous.
“The Red Cross appreciates Suburban Propane, its employees and customers for
raising awareness of the need for blood and platelets this summer and giving themselves,” said Donna M. Morrissey, director of national partnerships, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “Their support helps the Red Cross continue to ensure blood products are available for patients whenever and wherever they are needed.”
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
The 2016 senate elections are more than a year away, and the Chamber knows it’s going to be an uphill battle to keep the senate pro-business.
The Chamber isn’t shy about shipping American jobs to China, and they are dropping cash for Republican senators with the same agenda. Pro-outsourcing Senators Rob Portman and Pat Toomey are going to need all the help they can
get. Both are considered to be among the most vulnerable Republican senators up for election in 2016 and both have shamelessly voted against giving tax deductions to businesses wanting to bring jobs back to America and supported keeping taxes low for businesses outsourcing Ohio and Pennsylvania jobs overseas.
The Chamber may have cash-lined pockets, but it’s going to take more than
a few measly ads to get Sen. Portman and Sen. Toomey out of this one. They are going to have a lot of explaining to do to the people of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Jessica Mackler, president of American Bridge 21st Century said, “The Chamber is desperate to keep the Senate in the hands of the Republicans and to keep pro-outsourcing senators, like Toomey and Portman, in office. The Chamber isn’t
accountable to those who have lost their jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but Toomey and Portman are. They may have helped the Chamber fight to keep exporting American jobs, but their jobs are going to be harder to fight for as the voters take a closer look at their records.”

The Primate, Cat & Aquatics Building at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is home to some pretty amazing creatures, especially the unique prosimians housed in the building’s nocturnal wing.
On your next visit, in order to see the newest addition to the Zoo, you’ll have to look close! One of the exhibits that houses pygmy slow lorises, located in the nocturnal wing, is a baby loris weighing just 130 grams
The baby loris, whose gender has yet to be determined, was born on May 18 to mom Tevy, 12, and dad Tai, 9. The baby, who has yet to be named, is currently on exhibit daily with its mom in the Primate, Cat & Aquatics building.
“Having a baby pygmy slow loris is a pretty significant occurrence,” said Executive Zoo Director Dr. Chris Kuhar. “There are only
21 AZA accredited facilities in the entire U.S. where this type of loris can be seen on exhibit. We’re extremely proud of our zoological programs staff for the care they give these rare animals. This is our seventh successful pygmy slow loris birth since 1998.”
The mother has been in Cleveland since 2013. The father arrived in 2011. The baby brings the Zoo’s number of pygmy slow lorises up to six.
The pygmy slow loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus) is a member of the prosimian family, which are generally small, mostly nocturnal primates that are not quite monkeys or apes, including lemurs, tarsiers, pottos and the aye-aye. Pygmy slow lorises are native to the forests and bamboo groves of Southeast Asia, including Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. They are classified as
“vulnerable” in the wild by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Adults can grow up to 8 inches long and weigh only 12 ounces.
The Zoo participates in the pygmy slow loris Species Survival Plan of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Species Survival Plans are cooperative breeding and management groups for endangered or threatened species including black rhinos, African elephants, lowland gorillas and Amur tigers. SSPs identify population management goals and make recommendations to ensure the sustainability of a healthy, genetically diverse and demographically varied population. The new baby is a very significant birth as there are only 61 pygmy slow lorises in North American zoos.
All eight species of slow loris are threatened by exploitation for the pet
and tourist photo prop trades, traditional medicine, and habitat loss. In partnership with field conservation partner Dr. Anna Nekaris and the Little Fireface Project, the Zoo protects slow lorises by studying their ecology to inform conservation measures and conducting education and awareness program aimed at addressing the trade in slow lorises.
Northeast Ohio’s most-visited year-round attraction, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is $13.25 per person, $12.25 for seniors ages 62 and older, $9.25 for kids ages 2 to 11 and free for children younger than 2 and Zoo members. Parking is free. Located at 3900 Wildlife Way, the Zoo is easily accessible from Interstates 71, 90 and 480.

Carol Pitts’ book shares God’s words in picture formCarol Pitts has been a devout
Christian for 31 years. She says she has been taught how to be a Christian artist over those years by the Holy Spirit. Her scripture painting collection in “Holy Spirit Mystifying Scriptures” (published by Xlibris) for her represents God’s words in picture form. A gift to his children through the Holy Spirit’s artistic designs, and a visual display of his power.1 John 2:27.
This picture book allows readers to study its text and the scripture paintings
together or cover the opposite text page for them to find the scripture for the painting in the Bible’s King James Version. Colors are also important in some of these paintings.
“This book is full of painting designs of scripture that I have not the talent to do, but they are miracles of creation through the Gift of Miracles,” Pitts explains. “The paintings in it are miracles. It is God speaking in picture language.”
Through the publication of “Holy Spirit Mystifying Scriptures,” Pitts hopes
that readers will enjoy God’s words in picture language, give themselves time to study on the scripture painting and give the Holy Spirit time to speak or reveal something to them.

Schools wanted for Climate Compost ProjectThe Solid Waste District seeks schools
interested in partnering for a composting education project. The project, if funded, would be supported by NOAA Climate Stewardship Project.
The District would provide composting equipment, composting resources and activities, and classroom presentations. The school would be required to set up a system for collecting food scraps from the
cafeteria and kitchen, and share what they learned with the entire school community. To measure the program success, all compost will need to be weighed, students will participate in several surveys, and the
school will share waste hauling information with the District. For more information, contact Education Specialist Kathleen at (216) 443-3731.

Nothing is better than a good night’s sleep.
Think about how good you feel on those mornings when you wake up alert, jumping out of bed ready to go! That sets you up for a really great day.
Research has shown that people who chronically don’t get enough sleep are gen-erally less healthy, less effective at work or at school, and less happy in their lives. Be-ing sleep deprived also makes you less alert, so you’re more prone to accidents of various types, including automobile accidents.
But many of us don’t sleep well. Many people wake up sluggish in the morn-ing, having to drag themselves out of bed, already thinking about when they can get the next nap. There are many possible causes of this, but two of the most common are snor-
ing and sleep apnea.We all know
what snoring is. It’s that annoying noise
caused by your tongue or uvula (that piece of flesh that hangs down in the back of your throat) partially blocking your windpipe. As air goes past it, it vibrates, making that rat-tling sound.
Sleep apnea is the more severe, dan-gerous cousin of snoring. It occurs when the tongue or other structures in your throat ac-tually block the windpipe completely while you sleep, causing you to suffocate. Usually
you partially wake up after a few seconds, but just enough for
you to reposition yourself to get air. Then you fall back to sleep and it happens all over again … and again … and again, sometimes hundreds of times each night! All this can happen without you waking up enough to know it. Then you wake up thinking “I just slept for 7 hours, why am I still tired?”.
The most common remedy offered by medical doctors is something call CPAP (continuous positive air pressure), which in-volves a machine pumping air into your nose through a mask. It works for a lot of people, and in the most severe cases, it is only op-tion (besides surgery). But some people find that the mask, the tubes which restrict move-ment, and noise from the machine make it uncomfortable and hard to sleep with.
About now, you’re probably saying “what does this have to do with my teeth?”. Well, dental researchers have developed a number of small, comfortable, inexpensive devices that you can wear in your mouth at night to deal with this problem. These de-vices work by slightly repositioning you lower jaw so that your tongue can’t block your breathing airway. At Dodson & Asso-ciates, we can help determine which of these devices is best to help you.
So if you’re not sleeping as well as you’d like to, either because of your spouse snoring or your sleep apnea; if you wake up not feeling refreshed, if you feel tired all day long, if you’re not performing as well as you’d like on your job (or your teenager at school); if you want to wake up feeling great, energized, and ready to conquer the world ... Talk to your dentist!
