Students who decided to "click it" when they got in their cars Wednesday morning got more than they bargained for as they pulled into the High School parking lot. Officer Bonchak, the Euclid Police Department, Mr. Nick Selvaggio and his Public Safety Class rewarded students who were buckled with a raffle ticket to win $108 and a water bottle compliments of State Farm and our local agent Andre Payton.
Dear Friends,
Spring and summer are the most popular seasons for home buying. To assist people who are considering buying a home, the City of Euclid is sponsoring a Housing Fair. The Euclid Housing Fair will be held on Sunday, May 19th from 1 – 5 pm at the Henn Mansion, 23131 Lake Shore Blvd. The Housing Fair will highlight homes available throughout Euclid, city services and amenities. Local realtors, banks and city, county and neighborhood leaders will all be on hand to answer questions. Participants are invited to take a free tour on Lolly the Trolley for a curbside view of some of the available homes throughout a variety of neighborhoods. For more information on the Euclid Housing Fair call the Euclid Planning and Development Department at 216-289-8140.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our annual Memorial Day Parade and ceremonies on Monday, May 27th. Morning graveside ceremonies will be held at 7:45 am at Euclid Cemetery and 8:15 am at St. Paul Cemetery. The parade will begin at 10 am and will be followed by a service at the Veterans Memorial next to Euclid Library.
Happy Spring,
Mayor Bill Cervenik
Some of my colleagues conned me into making a cameo appearance in our recent student musical production, Aladdin Jr. Principal Dave Csank, as well as teachers Gary Minadeo and Chuck Martinko, were fellow reluctant thespians.
Oh, OK. Not that reluctant. The truth is, each of us got a big kick out of our assignments to play bachelor princes. How much the audience enjoyed our performances, of course, may be another story altogether.
Standing backstage before the curtain was raised, I was struck again with a sense of déjà vu. I had a bit part in the student musical Carousel on the very same stage in 1969.
I also was an understudy for one of the lead roles and, back then, the understudies played the leads for one performance. My singing ability was and is such that, for the understudy performance, my character’s songs were cut.
There also was a scene in which I was to walk across the stage as I carried a girl over my shoulder. As my knees collapsed and I struggled to move, the poor young lady became my unwilling partner in an unplanned slapstick routine.
I bring all of this up because it reminded me how the high school experience involves so much more than simply what takes place in the classroom. Whether it is drama, athletics, Student Council or any of the other endless activities our students engage in after hours, extracurriculars bring value – not to mention a great deal of fun – that can’t be graded on a scale of A, B and C.
When our students move on to college – did I mention that once again this year 100 percent of our graduates will be attending college? – and their professional pursuits afterwards, the lessons they learned through their participation in sports and clubs will guide them and, in some cases, determine what they do and how they do it.
Having parented our four children through high school – three of them at the same time – my wife and I fully understand the demands of carpools, rushed dinners and schedule conflicts that is the stuff of family life when you have a student in high school.
Visitors at Euclid Hospital for "Take Your Child To Work Day" perform a "Beanie-ectomy."
25 children were registered to attend presentations in Euclid Hospital’s Waltz Auditorium for “Take Your Child to Work Day.”
Several members of the OR staff including Jill Byrne, Diana Meaney, Donna Gagnon, Dan Sell and Sarah Sloop, led the children through a simulated operation where the “patient” presented symptoms, was diagnosed with “Spring Fever” and needed a “Beanie-ectomy.” The children put on sterile gowns, gloves and caps and helped perform surgery which included laparoscopically removing candy and Beanie Babies from the abdomen of the pretend patient, “Annie.” The surgery was a success for everyone involved.
It is hard to believe that we have come so far in another school year. Summer vacation will be here soon and our students will be able to reflect on their past school year.
Students at Ss. Robert & William Catholic Parish will be able to muster up some great memories. Not only have they been busy with their academics, they also have had the opportunity to participate in several extracurricular activities to enhance their lives.
Under the direction of faculty member, Mrs. Ellie McClusky and parent, Mrs. Lynette Wojtila, the students have just performed an adaptation of the work- “Beauty and The Beast.” This family oriented play is funny and endearing; you could see how much the students enjoyed preparing for it during their rehearsals.
Mrs. McClusky started in theater when she was 6 years old. She played Gretel in the Sound of Music before it hit Broadway and has worked on school plays beginning in 1994.
When asked why Mrs. McClusky has been engaged in theater work for such a long period of time, she replied, “At the center of all drama is communication. Like all the arts, drama allows students to communicate with and understand others in new ways. Perhaps more than any other art form, Drama also provides training in the very practical aspects of communication so necessary in today's increasingly information-centered world. Students who have participated in dramatic activities are less likely to have difficulty speaking in public, will be more persuasive in their communications, both written and oral, will be better able to put themselves into others' shoes and relate to them, and will have a more positive, confident self-image. Participation in dramatic activity requires self-control and discipline that will serve the student well in all aspects of life. Students in drama learn to work together, to cooperate, and to find the best way for each member of a group to contribute, and to listen to and accept the viewpoints and contributions of others. Drama is an important tool for preparing students to live and work in a world that is increasingly team-oriented.”
It is obvious that Mrs. McClusky has put her heart and soul into this production, and she tells me, sadly, that due to family obligations, she has now retired her director’s chair with hopes these wonderful productions continue.
***********
Located around the corner from Mrs. McClusky’s Room is Art Teacher, Ms. Emily DiFiore. Ms. DiFiore had been supervising her students, as they restored several of the old pews that had been located in the chapel of the Merici Center, the parish’s old convent. Finishing touches were being placed on them, as the pieces served as auction prizes for the school’s annual fundraiser, “The Taste of Nations,” which was held in April.

The picturesque cafe at Euclid Hospital was busy bright and early on Tuesday, April 30th as six Euclid High School standout seniors were recognized for their hard work and achievement in their career tech classes.
Join us for the third "State of the Panther" at Chardon Hills Elementary School! An hour full of entertainment, awards, and an update on the progress of Euclid City Schools.
Ten outstanding Euclid High School seniors were chosen because of their achievements. One student each week is highlighted on the District Facebook Page, the EHS Facebook Page, the City's reader-board (by CVS), the District Website, and at the High School. If you see these incredible students out and about, be sure to congratulate them on their many accomplishments! We are Panther Proud!
The excitement in the Euclid City School District has been maintained through the long weary winter. The four new buildings have served as a canvas for learning in a way that was not possible before their opening in September. One could walk through at anytime and see how the state-of-the-art technology is being used to enhance learning. Every room is equipped with a Promethean Board, and iPad carts serve each school with applications that help bring education alive for our students. With these learning devices in the new buildings and with the dedication of the Euclid City School’s staff, growth is being experienced like never before.
There has never been a better time to experience learning in our Euclid Schools.
Solid structures emerged from the ground over the course of a trying thirteen months. Today the buildings stand as a tribute to the community’s dedication to the Euclid students. Each has its own unique aesthetic appeal.
Shoreview Elementary incorporated some pieces of history from Upson Elementary. Four medallions were molded into the exterior brick work on the west side of the new Shoreview building as a memorial to the past and the wonderful experience shared by those who ever entered Upson’s doors. The Upson arch and stately planters sit on a stamped concrete walkway, which welcomes all visitors on the east side of the building.
Opening night Thursday, April 11, 2013 the cast and crew of Euclid High School’s Big Show presented a spectacular performance of “Hairspray.” From the first act to the final curtain call, the talented cast kept the audience engaged, laughing and tapping their toes to the music.
Ken Ferlito in his 10th year of directing Big Show did a remarkable job directing this talented cast of students in the production of “Hairspray.”
Katie Petrochic’s performance (her first ever in Big Show or any play) of Tracy Turnblad was inspiring from the moment she appeared on stage. Katie perfected the role of Tracy with her singing and acting skills. The infatuation between Tracy and the heartthrob Link Larkin, played by Jeremy Adkins was evident throughout the entire show.
Tim Piortrkowski’s adaptation of Edna Turnblad was believable and hilarious to watch. The casting for this role was spot on. Tim brought his comedic style to this role as well as his singing ability. The comic relationship between Edna and Wilbur Turnblad, played by Ricky Ferlito, was entertaining and had the audience laughing.
Crystal Drennon (as Penny Pingleton) and Kevin Terry (as Seaweed Stubbs) brought life to their roles as Tracy’s best friend (Penny) and her new friend (Seaweed) as they help Tracy audition for a role on The Corny Collins show (played by David Bruney) and stop segregation on the show.
Asia Sharp-Barry was a bright star in her role as Motormouth Maybelle. Asia’s vocal range was amazing and was shown as she and the rest of the company sang, “I Know Where I’ve Been.”
The entire cast, the Euclid High School Orchestra, the tech crew, the director and all the volunteers did a tremendous job in this production of “Hairspray.”
Dear Friends,
I think it is finally safe to say that the winter weather is behind us and we can now look forward to a beautiful spring and summer. Warmer weather also is a time for many to begin home repairs and renovations. EDCOR (Euclid Development Corporation) has made over 1500 low interest loans to homeowners in the City of Euclid. This Program provides a 3% low interest home improvement loan to income-eligible residents. EDCOR also offers a down-payment assistance program for income eligible first-time home buyers. For more information, contact the EDCOR office at 216 289-4625
As residents clean up and beautify their yards after the long winter, Euclid’s Streets and Parks departments will also be doing the same. The city provides an opportunity for businesses, schools, churches, civic groups, and families to clean up and maintain a particular area within the City through the Adopt-A-Spot program. After beautifying the adopted spot, the group makes a minimal commitment of periodically picking-up litter, pulling weeds, and basic maintenance of the spot. The adoption is recognized on a sign posted close to your spot. Adopt-A-Spot offers a means for you to make Euclid a better place to live and play. For more information about Adopt-A-Spot please call my office at 216-289-2751.
Thank you for making Euclid a great place to live and work.
Happy Spring!
Mayor Bill Cervenik
On Saturday April 27, 2013, people throughout the United States will have the opportunity to get rid of unwanted medications in a proper and safe manner.

The team of Bob Kilroy and Dudley Shepherd has placed 1st in the first of three rounds in the Cisco NetRiders competition. The competition is based on the Cisco Certified Entry-level Networking Certification (CCENT) skill set. The Round 1 competition consists of a 50-minute online exam that includes 50 theoretical exam questions and 10 questions based on a networking simulation activity.
Each Academy is limited to 5 teams that are eligible to advance to Round 2 for the opportunity to represent Ohio in the USA/Canada competition. The top three teams from each state in Round 2 will advance to the final Round 3 competition. Last year, over 2,000 students from over 150 academies started out and saw Erich Botzki and David Schwartz represent Ohio, and finish 12th in the Round 3 competition.
In addition to Bob and Dudley, the achievements of this year's class also included teams from Euclid placing in 5 of the top 8 positions in a field of 47 teams from throughout the state. Also moving on to Round 2 are:
2nd place:Tyler Dodd and Devon Kemp
4th place: Alan Hudak and Julian Kemp
7th place: Brianna Cunningham and Anthony Davis
8th place: Jacob Hoggett and Colin McLaughlin
All 5 teams will compete in Round 2, which will take place the week of April 15th. Congratulations and good luck to the students as they hopefully advance into the next round and represent Ohio in the USA/Canada event.
Ten outstanding Euclid High School seniors were chosen because of their achievemments. One student each week is highlighted on the District Facebook page, the Euclid High School Facebook page, the City's Reader-Board (by CVS), the District Website, and at the High School. If you see these students out and about, congratulate them on their many accomplishments! We are Panther Proud!
Value City Arena was packed with 9,428 fans waiting to cheer on the Mentor Cardinals and the Northland Vikings for the OHSAA Boys Basketball Semi Final game, as Euclid's own Varsity Chorale walked onto the hardwood. Standing center court, loud and proud Varsity Chorale performed the most outstanding, goosebump-giving rendition of the national anthem. Rumor has it, that it was what led the Cardinals to victory!
Kreigh Spahr is a self-declared farmboy and former truck driver with over 35 years experience in the transportation industry. As the Program Manager at Cuyahoga Community College at Heritage Business Park in Euclid, Mr. Spahr oversees the college’s highly successful and growing Truck Driving Academy.
The Tri-C satellite campus in Euclid offers intimate classrooms and small class sizes. As the only licensed CDL Driver Training school in Cuyahoga County, enrollment is rapidly increasing. As a result, it is expected that course offerings will be expanded and additional training vehicles will be added to the school’s already impressive fleet.
Estimated to have brought more than $1 million dollars of new income to the City of Euclid and more than $10 million dollars to Northeast Ohio during its first five years in operation, the program has provided many northeast Ohio residents with the opportunity to obtain good paying jobs, a fact Mr. Spahr relishes.
When questioned about the program’s success, Mr.Spahr focuses on the human aspect, stating, “We are so proud. We do more than teach people how to drive trucks. We change their lives. We bring people to the realization that life can be good.”
In a time where the bottom line is emphasized at the cost of student development, Mr. Sparh’s personal approach is the antidote to assembly-line style education. He proves that student development and profitability are not mutually exclusive.
Potential students should rest assured that the program offers the necessary skills and opportunities for growth, with plenty of personalized approaches to enhance the professional development of each student.
When we experience the loss of a mother or a mother figure, the pain can be palpable. We strive to keep her memory alive in our hearts and minds. Mother’s Day can be especially difficult for those who are missing this irreplaceable person in their lives.
The spring art show at Our Lady of the Lake School was a huge success. With over 200 attendees and over 300 participants, the show featured projects from each student at the school. Students studied different artists and worked together on large scale collaborative projects.
Grades 1 & 2 created a Chihuly Tower, inspired by glass artist Dale Chihuly.
Grade 2 created Kandinsky Circles, inspired by Kandinsky's concentric circle color studies.
Grades 3-8 created Chihuly Chandeliers, inspired by Dale Chihuly's glass chandeliers, made from recycled water bottles.
The kindergarten class created miniature Chihuly chandeliers made from pipe cleaners.
Grades 5 & 6 studied Jackson Pollock and applied his method of art making to paint on canvases which were then attached together to form a cube and hung from the ceiling.
There were also many cross-curricular projects that were on display including music and art in which the students created playbill covers that they redesigned. In the areas of social studies and art, students created Egyptian sarcophagi, in which the students constructed small scale sarcophagi after learning about Egyptian culture in social studies.
Students also displayed their own creative pieces of art at the show. Maggie Carroll created a newspaper dress and Elizabeth Smith contributed three pieces of pottery.
In addition to all of these wonderful works of art, the church hall was also filled with performances by the choir, third grade recorders, and band every 10 minutes. The art show was filled with people oohing and ahhing over the work and performances. The students present were beaming with accomplishment as they showed off their work to family and newcomers.
The Artistic Muse Gallery and Neighborhood Forum, in collaboration with Euclid High School art teacher, Meg Garbincus, proudly presents our first student art show representing a cross section of area art students from Euclid to Gates Mills. The opening reception is Friday, April 19th from 6 til 9 pm. An open house will be held on Saturday from 12 until 8 pm, followed on Sunday with an open mic session featuring poetry, music, comedy.
Coming April 26th -28th the gallery will be hosting a very special fundraising event for HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INDIA featuring photographer Halim Ina. Both events are open to the public. The Artistic Muse Gallery is located at 18322 Lakeshore Blvd.
Join Euclid Police Officer Ed Bonchak for a cup of coffee and a friendly discussion as he addresses the questions asked by patrons or those placed in a "Cop Box."

Favorite Quote: "Above all things if kindness is your king, then Heaven will be yours before you meet your end." ~ DJM
Bio: I am a single mom of a pretty awesome 15-year-old guy named Jeffery. I've raised him all by myself but was lucky to have the help of my amazing parents, Gino and Theresa. I've spent the majority of my life working to take care of him, so I never did anything for myself … until I decided to join the Burning River Roller Girls. It has changed my life for the better. I have become completely addicted to strapping those skates on and playing such a fun game.
Honors: Second place at Full-Contact Musical Chairs (on skates!) during charity roller derby bout this fall.
Likes: Sushi, horror movies, my dog, concerts, road trips, hanging out with friends and chilling out with my amazing kid, Jeffery :)
Dislikes: Rude people, animal abuse
Favorite thing about roller derby: The girls! I never knew that I could meet so many awesome, powerful women within one big group! The game is way more than girls in cute little outfits beating each other up … even though that is the fun part. We have such camaraderie within the league, and no hard feelings are ever held. You can hit a woman with all your might one minute, then have her high five you the next saying how awesome that was. I spent years being depressed and miserable with the redundancy of my life. Now, I'm the happiest I've ever been and I owe it all to roller derby.
