Dogs Compete in Local Draft Tests by Wendy Hess

On the weekend of Oct. 6 and 7, the Hinckley Metropark’s Redwing Picnic Area was the site of two dog draft tests.

Draft testing in its modern form has been around for 30 years but is rooted in centuries of using dogs as draft ani-mals. Many breeds, including Bernese Mountain Dogs, Newfoundlands and Rottweilers, were originally used to assist their owners by pulling carts or wagons to market, so they – along with many

other breeds – are natural pullers. Draft tests were developed to help tap into this natural instinct by giving people a fun reason to train their dogs to pull carts.

These two tests were hosted by the North Coast Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ohio (Saturday) and the Three Rivers Bernese Mountain Dog Club (Sunday) but were open to all breeds and mixed breeds. There is neither one govern-ing body nor one consistent set of rules for draft tests; instead, they are sanctioned by

H03 DOGS COMPETEThis Newfoundland took a rest after completing his draft test. Photo courtesy of T. Allen

national breed clubs, who each determine their own rules. Because this is a sport where events nationally number in the dozens rather the hundreds, exhibitors often travel long distances and these tests were no exception. Entrants came from as far away as North Carolina.

Though entrants do not compete against one another in draft tests, they are striving to earn coveted titles such as Novice Draft Dog, Open Draft Dog or Master Draft Dog by earning a passing performance under the adjudication of two judges. Passing is not that simple. Working either on leash or off, depending on the dog’s level, dog and handler teams must show mastery of many exercises, including basic obedience skills, harnessing and hitching and practical draft work.

The last portion of the test, considered the most challenging, requires dogs to perform a number of maneuvers with their carts including doing circles and turns, changing pace, backing up and pulling the cart through a narrow space just inches wider than the cart without bumping either side. Following these individual exercises, entrants have to do a group exercise in which each dog, lined up with the others, has to stay in place with their cart for several minutes while their handlers are either across the ring or hidden from sight.

In the test’s final exercise, each team traverses an outdoor course while haul-

ing a specified weight load in their cart for half a mile. A passing score can only be earned by passing every single exercise. While handlers can direct and encourage their dogs, no pulling or force from the handler is allowed at any point; dogs must be extremely controlled and responsive to their handlers.

As with any such event, there were tri-umphs and disappointments. Some dogs came away with new titles, others came close but failed. Everyone, however, was united in an appreciation for the test site and loved what the Hinckley park had to offer. ∞

Cemetery Decoration Removal to Begin

Removal of all summer and holiday flowers and decorations will begin Nov. 5 by cemetery staff at Lutheran Cemetery, 4566 Pearl Rd. in Cleveland and Hope Memorial Gardens, 2447 Center Rd. in Hinckley. Winter decorations can be placed Nov. 15. ∞

Land Preserve Is Labor of Love for Future Hinckley Residentby Nancy Johnson

Every Sunday on their way home from Our Savior Lutheran Church in Hinckley, Brian and Bobbi Bacik drove down Ar-borcrest Drive to admire the new homes that were springing up on the street’s spacious lots.

Bacik, who owned Ko-Bak Automatic Screw Products in Garfield Heights, was planning to sell the family business and retire. He and Bobbi agreed Arborcrest was the place they would build their re-tirement home. But something bothered Bacik about the development: With every new home, trees were cleared and natural foliage removed. He decided he would do things differently.

“I’m not a crazy tree-hugger,” Bacik said, “but I love nature and I wanted to preserve as much of this land as possible, for myself and for the future.”

In October 2007, Bacik purchased 7.5 acres on Arborcrest’s cul-de-sac. “I made the decision in 45 minutes,” Bacik said, adding the land had been used for dump-ing and was “a mess – carpets, windows, you name it – it had all been dumped on the property.” Developer Mark Iacona had planned to extend Arborcrest to Babcock and build 17 houses. Instead, he sold the land to Bacik.

After retiring in 2008, Bacik bought up

more of the surrounding land and now owns 35 wooded acres. He calls the area “Land of the Standing Bear,” a reference to the life-sized carved wooden Grizzly standing on a rocky crag overlooking a natural glacial formation uncovered during excavation. Bacik commissioned sculptor Larry Burns of Norwalk to cre-ate the 11-foot carving as well as two bear cubs, a life-like mountain lion and an eagle, all of which can be viewed from the street.

The property is forested by hundreds of mature trees including stately Northern Red and White Oaks, Shag Bark Elms and Trilliums. Bacik hired Chris Wodzak of CW Landscaping to plant 300 new trees, with another 200 to be planted soon. The trees represent 90 rare species, chosen for their beauty and size, including Tri-color Beech, European Mountain Ash, European Larch, Weeping Cherry, Bald Cypress, Japanese Maple, Black Gum, Chinese Dogwoods, Pioneer Elms, Purple Smoke, River Birch and Canaan Firs.

Newly-planted butterfly bushes attract thousands of butterflies. Bacik pointed out the winged beauties stay warm in the man-made stone walls nearby and come out when the temperature tops 55 degrees. “I gave them nectar to eat and shelter,” he said with a smile.

H01 LAND PRESERVEThe Baciks were married on the white sandy beach surrounding the lake on their Arborcrest Road property.

Bacik enlisted Litchfield’s Greg Dobson to design a lake, pond and five waterfalls. The lake was once a sandstone quarry. The pond is a natural wetland and will be equipped with wood duck houses to attract wood ducks. “Once they make the pond their home,” Bacik said, “they will stay.” The shoreline of the lake has been outfitted with several large flat rocks for basking in the sun or fishing.

In 2011, Bacik lost Bobbi, his wife of 41 years, to cancer. “I come to this place to forget my problems. I watch the birds, the animals. I’m at peace with God here,” he said, noting the land is home to fox, deer, coyotes and wild turkeys.

“I don’t understand why people clear the land to build a home. They remove trees and wildlife habitats, and then complain the deer are eating their garden. They plant trees that will take forty years to grow. Why not build around the trees that are already there?” he said.

Bacik plans to build an English cottage, which will be nestled in a natural clearing in the verdant land - a home he and his wife, Kathleen Frank, who were married in September on the white sandy beach surrounding the lake, expect to spend the rest of their lives.

Bacik is working with Ohio’s forestry department to protect the land and will put it in a foundation so that “no trees will ever be cut down,” he said.

“I believe we have an obligation to God and nature to leave trees and natural habitats alone and to preserve nature for the future.” ∞

Trustees Decide on 2013 Mowing Provider by Marge Jones PalikOct. 15 work session

Service Department Head Paul Mago-vac reported that he had received three bids for grass mowing next year. Two of the companies’ bids were the same; the third was about $200 per week higher.

“We have two companies with identical bids and they are both good companies. The one company – Nick’s Reliable – has not increased prices for senior snowplow-ing for two years.”

Trustee Dave Sambor said, “I think we should stay the course. Nick’s does road-side mowing and senior plowing.”

His fellow trustees agreed with him, so Nick’s will be retained as the township mowing company at a cost of $750 per week.

Fire Chief Tim Potts told trustees, “AGC Consultants will be working with the Cleveland Water Department installing digital water meters on telephone poles.”

He explained the work would be done in the areas that the Cleveland Water Department serves. Meter readers will no longer have to visit each home. Digital meters will measure the water use.

Potts also asked trustees to okay an in-crease in pay for the fire department’s edu-cation specialist, Lydia Wochna. Her pay will go from $10 an hour to $15 per hour.

Trustee Martha Catherwood noted that before the rate increases, Wochna must complete her EMT basic training.

Potts said that should be done within a few weeks. She is certified but needs a refresher course. He also noted that in

Safety Forces To Join on Tower Repair

Sharon she would be making $19 and in Granger, $19.40.

Potts reported that he had a request to borrow one of the department’s am-bulances for a film being shot on Bellus Road. He said the vehicle would not be driven, simply used as a backdrop.

He said, “We will ask to have the right to screen the film for content and will ask for compensation for two people to be with the ambulance. Of course, this is all on condition that we don’t need it at the time.”

Township Secretary Suzanne Peterlein reported that 35 people have qualified for the township’s senior snowplowing program.

That is about half the number who will probably participate she said. ∞

by Marge Jones PalikOct. 1 work session

Fire Chief Tim Potts informed trustees that the fire department and police de-partment plan to work together on getting the State Road tower repaired.

“We are scheduling our repair together,

and that will save money,” he said. “We will need three steeplejacks doing 12 hours of work at a cost of $4,020. “

Potts added that the cable would be inspected and a new antenna installed. The repeater might have to be replaced.

Depending on what needs to be done,

the most it should cost the fire depart-ment would be $5,800.

Police Chief Tim Kalavsky said he ex-pected his department’s cost might be as much as $4,193.

Trustee Dave Sambor brought up the matter of sharing equipment with other municipalities. “I was asked again about sharing equipment. I wanted to clarify that everyone agreed that due to the age and conditions of our equipment, we do not want to do it.”

Trustee Ray Schulte said, “I have con-cerns about it. We don’t know how our equipment would come back. We do share some things like dispatch and pool-ing for insurance.”

Trustees agreed that they did not feel comfortable sharing expensive equip-ment.

Service Foreman Paul Magovac reported that the township would save money on salt this year. “We need to spend less this year because the cost is down and we have salt left from last year,” he said. ∞

Vote for Heller for Treasurer

To the Editor:We in Medina County have several out-

standing candidates vying for public office and we are very fortunate to have Joan Heller running for county treasurer. I have come to know Joan well through her sup-port of the Medina County Home. Joan is a 17-year veteran of being Medina County’s chief deputy auditor. This means she is the assistant comptroller for over $400 million

of funds every year. Her record? Spotless state audits and national recognition for her skillful handling of those funds.

Better yet, she is someone who is con-stantly involved in her community and has the type of demonstrated character that will benefit us all. She is trustworthy, fair, honest and is not trying to “seize” anything. She is a well-qualified candi-date hoping to represent us all as Medina

To the Editor: I am very impressed with Joan Heller

and plan to support her as our County Treasurer.

Joan Heller has a very impressive record as chief deputy auditor. In that role she oversees over $400 million annually. And she does a great job of it. Did you know she has returned almost $10 million of unspent money in the auditor’s office to taxpayers over her 17 years? The cur-rent treasurer has returned zero. I do not know about you, but I would like to see her spread some of that efficiency to the treasurer’s office.

Best of all, Joan Heller is deeply con-

County treasurer.Finally, Joan is as hard working a person

as I have ever met – and we definitely need that in our treasurer’s office. Do not miss this opportunity. It does not happen of-ten. Please join me in electing Joan Heller our Medina County treasurer. It is the best thing for Medina County.

one to join me in voting for Joan Heller as our County Treasurer.

The Hinckley Record, November 201210

November means the campaigning is over and the votes will be counted. I guess we can be thankful this Thanksgiving that the political calls have ended. I wonder why a person who is on the do-not-call list gets so many unrequested calls from political figures.

Congratulations to Highland High School juniors Kristen Bede, Ashley Lengel and Nicole Hadler and senior Calvin Rhoads, who recently graduated from the Cleveland Clinic’s 2012 Sum-mer Internship Program. The Cleveland Clinic Office of Civic Education Initia-tives’ Summer Internship Program was designed to increase high school students’ interest and literacy in science by expand-ing their learning experiences beyond the classroom. The program’s intensive, nine-week, paid internships provide top students throughout Northeast Ohio with the opportunity to work and learn along-side healthcare professionals in a variety of

fields. At the end of the program, students present scientific research or creative proj-ects that they have produced over the nine weeks. Kristen is the daughter of Cheryl and James Bede of Granger; Ashley is the daughter of Jill and John Lengel of Hinckley; Nicole is the daughter of Elizabeth and Gary Hadler of Granger; and Calvin is the son of Ellen and Greg Rhoads of Sharon.

U.S. Navy Seaman Recruit Andrew C. Minch has been promoted to Seaman Apprentice. He is training at Naval Sub-marine School in Groton, Conn. Andy is a 2008 Highland High School graduate and the son of Gloria and the late John Minch of Hinckley. His father trained at the same sub school after he graduated from Highland in 1963. Andy’s grand-father, the late Florian J. Golubski, also served in the Navy as a Pharmacist Mate attached to the Marines, seeing action on Okinawa and Siapan in WWII. All of

Andy’s family is proud that he is continu-ing the U.S. Navy tradition.

Our condolences to the family of Bob Farrell who died Oct. 14. Bob and his wife, Barbara, lived in Hinckley for more than 40 years. While here, he was a softball coach for RAH and Highland High School. He and his wife moved to senior apartments in Kent in 2008. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Michael, and his daughter, Eliza-beth, a granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews.

The three Highland High School stu-dents who were selected to participate in Junior Leadership Medina County are junior Mikayla Hutchings and Katie Schwarz, along with sophomore Pat-rick Davis. Junior Leadership Medina County is designed to shape the future of high school students by promoting teamwork, developing leadership skills and fostering self-confidence, personal growth and respect for diversity. The program consists of seven class days, spread over six months, developed by Leadership Medina County alumni. The days are built around a specific topic to be interactive, structured and geared to high school students.

Congratulations to Sharon and Ron Beach on celebrating their 50th anni-versary. The Beaches have two children – Rochelle and Ronald Jr. – and three grandchildren.

The Hinckley Record, November 2012 11

An anniversary we missed was that of Ward and June Bowman. They cel-ebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on July 2. The Bowmans operated Hill-side Orchard for years. It is now run by their son, Al, and grandson, Scott. Ward and June moved to a retirement home recently.

The Hinckley Women’s Club pan-cake breakfast at Skyland Golf Course brought out a lot of Hinckleyites. Spot-ted in the crowds were Kim and Dave Marshall, Monica and Andrea Tabor, Sherrill and Jerry Parle, Colleen and Jack Swedyk, Beth and Bill Crosley, Andy and Stephanie Mallett, Heather and Dennis Liccardi and Emma and Ray Schulte. As the 11 o’clock hour came, Rich Rhodes, head of Skyland, extended an invitation to any of the firemen and policemen to come in and help finish any leftover food.

The mention of Hillside Orchard brings to mind the Medina County Fall Festival. Many people arrived in Hinckley to visit the orchard and Greensmith and then stopped at Worden House, where mem-bers of the Hinckley Historical Society had a sale of items left from the Com-

munity Garage Sale. All went well with all the sites until the weather changed on Sunday and the wind and the rain started. Thankfully that was later in the day.

I hope you all have a good Thanksgiving

and are surrounded by family and friends.And I am thankful for all the news you

Local Seamstress Learned Craft From Grandmother

H05 STITCHING GENERA-TIONS

Miki Simic spends hours at her sewing machine. Photo by K. Gavin

by Kathleen Steele Gaivin As a child, Miki Simic loved watching

her self-taught grandmother sew on a big, industrial sewing machine. When Simic was 14 years old, her mother bought her a Singer sewing machine of her own, and watching her grandmother and learning from her own mistakes, she learned to sew. “I learned from playing around and reading books,” she said.

Simic has turned her enthusiasm for sewing into a cottage industry, creating aprons, purses, tote bags and clothing in her Hinkley home. She sells her wares at Etsy, an online marketplace for small businesses. Her sister told her about Etsy, which began in 2005, and encouraged her to sell her items. She set up her online store, The Mint Needle, on Etsy in 2003.

A licensed practical nurse by profession, Simic also earned a Bachelor of Arts de-gree at Cleveland State University. With young children at home, she worked less outside the home and began sewing

more. She said sewing is “therapeutic” for her, and has allowed her to balance family responsibilities with something she enjoys. She said she typically sews four days a week.

Simic’s sewing room is across from her daughters’ playroom, and the girls often wander in to observe and chat while Mom is working. They are also learning to sew. Her five-year-old sews on scraps of paper and fabric, and her 8-year-old has started making skirts for her American Girl dolls.

This seamstress not only loves to sew, she loves to collect antique sewing machines. She marvels at the quality of the older machines. “They were built to last,” she said. The period sewing machine cabinets were meant to resemble furniture, so “you could keep the machine out in the living room and no one would know.” She has machines that she purchased for little money at garage sales and restored to use as decorative hallway tables in her home.

Simic is a first-generation American, born here of Serbian parents. Her sister was born in Serbia. The family came to the United States for its “endless oppor-tunities,” she said. “I am happy they did. I am thankful for America.”

She was raised in Parma and has lived

in Hinckley with her husband since their marriage in 2003.

Simic said she keeps her prices low. “I wouldn’t want to price them higher in these economic times.”

Since most of her profits go back into buying more fabrics, she still works shifts on an as-needed basis at a nursing home in North Royalton to help with household expenses.

What does her grandmother think of the cottage industry? “She is blown away,” Simic said. “She feels good because she gave me a good impression of sewing.” ∞

The Truth About Basement Finishingby Mike Rusk

A finished basement will increase the living space in your home at a fraction of the cost of constructing a new addi-tion, all the while increasing the value of your home.

But before investing any money into remodeling your basement, you should make sure your basement is in good condition and properly prepared.

If your basement has leaks, cracks or other shortcomings, it could cause a whole lot of damage to your newly fin-ished basement. You do not want your basement to get wet, but if it does, you do not want it to get ruined.

The truth of the matter is that almost all basements will leak at some point. The question is: when?

Prepare Before RemodelingTo prepare your basement for finish-

ing, first, keep it dry. Sweat the little stuff. Flooding is not your only con-

cern; water vapor can also cause prob-lems. A wet or damp basement is unsuit-able for finishing. This moisture will get into the build-ing mater ia l and cause mold, mildew, rot and unpleasant odors in your base-

ment. Such conditions will damage floor coverings, furniture and personal items.

Basement Environment ProductsBefore committing to a basement-

remodeling project, be sure to learn more about the products and services the company has to offer.

The company should offer products that address moisture, dampness and humidity, problems affecting the base-ment walls, floors, windows, window

wells and other basement components. The products should help protect your basement finishing investment, while creating a dry, comfortable living space. Your basement should be as dry and comfortable as the rest of the house.

Ohio Basement Systems represents the very best in product innovation, quality energy efficient finishing products to fit your home. Ohio Basement Systems is lo-cated in Twinsburg, a division of Tomor-row’s Home Solutions. 888-381-1091. www.ohiobasemntstp.com.

Sweet Surrenderby Arlene J. Coloma, D.D.S., M.S.

There is a lot to enjoy in the fall. There are apples and apple cider. There are candied apples, too! Then, we have all that candy from Halloween. All of these foods have sugar in them and, when left unchecked in the mouth, can lead to tooth decay and cavities. The sugars that are in these foods sit on our teeth and are eaten by the bacteria in our mouths. The bacteria then turn it into acid, which then damages the tooth enamel. Children are particularly vulnerable to tooth decay. Their enamel is thinner and is often in contact with more sugar than an adult’s teeth.

There are certain sugary foods and candies that should be avoided. Gummy, taffy, dried fruit, and caramel and candied apples are chewy and sticky. These foods can get stuck in the pits and valleys of the molars and stay there for awhile before they are brushed out.

The American Academy of Pediatric

Dentistry has some suggestions for par-ents to help keep tooth decay at bay. First, avoid overconsumption of sugary treats. Allow children to have a piece of candy after dinner or lunch time, not as a snack. Parents should choose the candy that their child should consume.

Second, lessen the amount of sugar pres-ent in the mouth. Rinse with water and monitor the times candy is consumed and for how long. For example, a lollipop or hard candy stays in the mouth and against the teeth for a longer period of time than eating a candy bar. This prolonged expo-sure of sugar against the teeth is a greater threat for tooth decay than eating candy in a few bites. Children should be encour-aged to wait to eat Halloween candy until they are home from trick-or-treating.

Third, have children eat candy when they can brush their teeth immediately afterward. This will help keep sugars from getting into the pits and valleys of the molars. Always practice good oral hygiene

to avoid possible tooth decay. Visit your dental health professional twice a year for a cleaning and check-up. Remember to brush twice a day and floss at night before going to bed. Keeping children’s mouth clean and sugar free will help keep their teeth healthy.

To help children in our community keep their teeth healthy but still enjoy Halloween, parents should bring their children to our office to redeem cash for candy!
