Parvovirus, an incredibly contagious infection that causes diarrhea and vomiting until death, is a sad reality for dogs that become infected, since it is preventable through vaccine. For most dogs and cats, a disease-free lifestyle is as easy as kitten or puppy shots (usually three rounds every three weeks), and a yearly booster thereafter. Some of these infectious diseases can be life threatening. A majority of the common diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Rabies, distemper and kennel cough are examples of deadly diseases that can be easily avoided just by keeping vaccines up to date.  Local pet stores, such as PETCO and Pet Supplies Plus, offer low cost clinics once a month with no appointments necessary.  Or, visit Luvmypet.com for local clinic locations. Vaccinations also help prevent the spread of diseases to other pets in the family or neighborhood. After spaying and neutering, vaccinations are the next step for responsible pet owners for ensuring their furry family members have a happy and healthy life.

Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry’s Westhaven Youth Shelter and Youth Re-Entry Program have combined to form Next Step. The programs merged in order to provide a continuum of care to better serve vulnerable youth in Cleveland. Next Step will ultimately provide older youth, who are without a home or a stable living environment, with shelter care and independent living. Plans are underway to also provide transitional housing in the near future. Next Step will ensure that youth who are hurting and forgotten do not fall through the cracks and miss out on services they so desperately need. In addition to meeting the basic needs of housing, food and clothing, these gender-specific services also include counseling, independent-living skills and job placement.

Our second son, Nevan, would not be with us today without the benefits of congenital heart disease research and education. Without going into great detail, Nevan was born with multiple heart defects which resulted in numerous surgeries - the success of which would not have been possible without research and education in pediatric cardiology. While congenital heart disease is the number one birth defect in all children, a surprisingly scarce amount of resources are dedicated toward the research and education of this pediatric disease. On February 25, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. we will be attending the Jordan’s Family Foundation’s 5th Annual Charity Wine & Beer Tasting at Rozi’s Wine House, and we invite you to join us.

Kara Goeller and Corey Rossen, whose second daughter, Jordan, was also born with a heart defect, have been instrumental in raising funds to increase research and education dedicated exclusively toward congenital heart diseases. Their funding is raised through the Jordan’s Family Foundation, which is one of Lakewood’s premier 501(c)(3) non-profit charities and was recently named a member of the United Way as a designated charity for Health and Human Services. The Jordan’s Family Foundation is nationally renowned for its fundraising efforts from our very own Lakewood. The 5th Annual Charity Wine & Beer Tasting is just one of those events, but your help is needed.

A landmark study was released on February 2 by the Cleveland Foodbank and Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization. The study reports that more than 223,700 people receive emergency food each year from the 450 agencies served by the Cleveland Foodbank. Feeding America collected information from 61,000 face-to-face interviews with people seeking emergency food and more than 37,000 agency surveys nationwide.

Key findings in the Cleveland Foobank report include:

·         More than 85,000 children and 33,000 seniors received food assistance; a 54% and 75% increase respectively over 2006

·         1 in 9 people turned to local hunger centers in 2009 in the six county Foodbank service area

·         39% of the clients served through the Cleveland Foodbank report having to choose between paying for food and paying for utilities

There is a simple, affordable solution to the out of control population of stray animals in this country.  Spaying and neutering pets is not only the responsible thing to do, but also can help with behavioral and health issues throughout the life of the animal.  Owners who choose not to have their pets spayed or neutered, for whatever reason, are directly responsible for the millions of euthanized animals in this country every year.  Some pet owners may claim that the cost is too much, which should have been noted before considering owning a cat or dog, but even that is not a good excuse due to the numerous low cost possibilities listed later in this article.  Millions of lives could be saved each year if owners would spay and neuter before allowing their pets to roam and breed at will.  Of the roughly 600 cats the Lakewood Animal Shelter and Warden see each year, only about 200 have the chance to be adopted.  The 400 left behind must be euthanized due to illness, overcrowding, or inability to find foster homes until they can be adopted.  Whole litters of animals that would make wonderful pets are never given the opportunity due to the sheer volume that shelters have to deal with.  To know that these deaths could be 100% preventable makes it even more distressing.  The Lakewood Animal Shelter, along with many other groups, offers a spay/neuter discount when adopting from their facility.  Not only would new owners be helping an animal in need by adopting, but also getting a discount on the procedure.  There are many low cost options even in the Lakewood area, which can be found on the Lakewood Animal Shelter website at: http://www.cclas.info/Spay.html .   Also for the entire state of Ohio, visiting http://www.spayohio.org/search/, or calling 1-877-644-OHIO (6446), gives every owner no excuse to not do the right thing.  When choosing to bring home that new puppy or kitten, please consider the possibility that two out of three animals you look at may never get a home, and make the responsible decision to not contribute to those numbers.

The panel of six judges used a rubric to assess the originality, organization, descriptive language, and grammar (including punctuation and spelling) of the essays, and they selected Isabel’s as best overall. Characterizing Lakewood as “the most awesomely cool place on the face of the planet”, Isabel was enthusiastic about the library, Malley’s Ice Cream, seasonal activities, and most of all, the people of Lakewood.

Available for adoption through the Lakewood Animal Shelter, Ellie (collar number 413) is a model-like calico kitty who’s sleek with large almond shaped eyes. She tilts her head when she's listening to you and is a real sweetheart with a loud purr! Recently spayed by CCLAS, she’s looking for a good home for the holidays. Unfortunately, she was mistreated by her previous owner, terrified by the vacuum, and ended up pregnant hiding in a corridor of an east side Lakewood apartment building.  Ellie was fortunate to leave the shelter in mid-October and has been living in foster care since then. She been a PURR-fect house guest, but her foster family can no longer keep her since their own cat is terminally ill and requires a lot of attention.

She’s very playful, loves to chases a laser light and run around with a feather toy. She tested negative for FIV/FELV, is spayed, dewormed, and vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. She's an excellent patient at the Vet office and she purrs frequently while there. Also quiet during car rides.

It may look like a concrete bathtub, but it’s really a curbside water trough, the last of many the city kept full of water for horses at the turn of the last century. Each had an enclosed compartment at one end with a tank ball similar to that in a toilet. As water entered from the bottom, via a hookup with city pipes, the tank ball would rise, shutting off an intake valve when the trough was full. There was a trough on the west side of Warren just south of Detroit; on the south side of Detroit l00 feet west of Warren; beside Cook's Grocery on the north side of Detroit at Grace; at Madison and Warren; and on the north side of Madison between Grace and Cohassett. This one is on a tree lawn at the corner of Clifton and West Clifton. It is filled with soil and has been used as a planter since 1955.

Jack and Milo were returned to PAWS after their owner needed full-time medical care and could not find any assistance from family members. Jack and Milo have been together (and in Lakewood!) since they were kittens and because we want them to stay together, we are offering a special adoption fee. Jack is a food nut! He is mischievous, lovable and sweet. He loves to have his face rubbed and rolls on his back from attention. Milo is a sweet, gentle curious boy who loves to observe the day's goings on from a perch.

Cox Communications Cleveland announced today the success of its inaugural employee campaign to fund Cox Charities. The Cox Charities Employee Campaign will have raised more than $15,000 by the end of 2010. “Cox has a long-standing commitment to helping organizations whose efforts touch the lives of others,” said Anne Doris, vice president and general manager of Cox Communications Cleveland. “Cox Charities provides us with an opportunity to positively impact our local communities.” This is the inaugural year for Cox Charities, which is the Cox employee way of funding needy organizations in local communities. “We connect Cleveland’s Westside communities through digital cable, high speed data and telephone service,” said Doris. “As part of our continued commitment to the communities we serve, we established Cox Charities to assist worthwhile charitable organizations in our neighborhoods.” Cox will hold a variety of fundraising events each year to generate additional funds for Cox Charities.

Lakewood Community Child Care Center in need of community support. Judy Church founded the Lakewood Community Child Care Center (LCCC) in 1985.  Ms. Church was a pioneer in providing childcare in Lakewood.  LCCC offers care from age 6 weeks through 6 years.  Additionally, LCCC sponsors the School Aged Child Care (SACC) at Lincoln Elementary offering before and after school care.   Originally, LCCC resided at Lincoln Elementary School.  After a time, the City made a grant to Ms. Church that allowed LCCC to purchase the building at 2019 Woodward Ave, its current location.  LCCC’s vision has always been to aim to rise above the ordinary by developing educational experiences, which can alter the lives of parents, children and staff.  LCCC strives to be the best by encouraging a partnership between the parents, and the staff, as well as the staff and the community. LCCC also incorporates other cooperative partnerships with the Office of Aging and Lakewood Public Schools.  Founded on intergenerational principles, LCCC engages its children with people from all generations, specifically working with the Office of Aging and the nearby Senior Center.  LCCC hosts students from Lakewood High School and both its middle schools as part of their Early Childhood Educational programs.  These students come into the center and learn about childcare and the early childhood education system.  It is a unique learning experience for them and a benefit to the center to have these students. Approximately 50% of the children at LCCC are there on State assistance.  This State Voucher program helps support people below a certain income obtain childcare so that they can work while knowing their children are in a safe and caring environment. Soon to celebrate its 25th Anniversary in service to the city, LCCC finds itself in need of community outreach support.  The economy has influenced heavily the enrollment at all 10 of Lakewood’s Child Care providers.  LCCC is a non-profit, non-affiliated center. It has no financial backer to carry it through rough times and financial hardship.  In the last year, enrollment in the center had dropped by 35%.  Hence, LCCC finds itself in a precarious financial position. In an effort to bolster the center’s finances, the annual picnic fundraising event was held at the Junior Women’s League Pavilion on September 19.  While this raised some much needed funds, the center is still in need of greater backing.  Their goal is to raise $25,000 by the end of September, with an additional $25,000 needed by year’s end. If you would like to offer your support to help Lakewood Community Child Care Center remain a safe, vibrant and loving home for our children, please contact Executive Director, Annette Sanderson, at (216) 226-0080.

Lakewood Christian Service Center(LCSC) hosted the first of four free Farmer’s Markets on Tuesday, August 4th.  By 9:00am Lakewood residents were beginning to line up to be the first to access over 10,000 pounds of fresh produce made available by the Cleveland Foodbank to its member agencies. Corn on the cob, apples, radishes, cucumbers, potatoes, and summer squash were available to all.

Two hundred and sixty households (over 650 individuals) took advantage of the first market of the growing season.  Located in the Center’s parking lot off Roosevelt Avenue, the market went without a hitch thanks to the help of community volunteers.  Members of Lakewood Baptist Church assisted with distribution, H2O summer campers helped with set-up and distribution and also offered face painting – of veggies and fruit, of course! – for the kids.  Rev. Meredith White-Zeager of Lakewood’s Phoenix Project sang and played guitar and Monica Crompton, a Lakewood Hospital summer intern, prepared and served a nutritious and inexpensive dish made using summer squash from the market. 

North Coast Health Ministry (NCHM) will host its 14th annual Celebration of Caring gala auction and dinner Thursday, September 3, 2009, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Westwood Country Club, 22625 Detroit Road, Rocky River, Ohio.

"Clothes 4 Kids" is city-wide project to provide affordable back-to-school clothes for Lakewood families.  Over the summer, H2O Summer Service Camp youth volunteers turned Lakewood High School’s East Cafeteria into a giant clothing store.  From infant to adult sizes, one could find pants, shorts, shirts, sweaters, shoes, boots, coats, belts, and accessories priced from $.25 - $2.00.

Meet Easter

One of the most lovable little torties, Easter was found in a snow drift on Easter Sunday two years ago. If you want a little girl who will talk to you, and love you to death, this is your girl.  Easter has been with PAWS for so long as we sought treatment for what turns out to be a simple runny nose. Easter's a little bit sneezy, and just needs a loving mommy or daddy to wipe her nose every now and then. She is such a lovergirl that a little nose wiping is a small price to pay for such adoration. Her foster mommy has loved her since she was a wee babe, but it is now time for her to find her forever home.

If interested in Easter, please contact PAWS at 440-442-PAWS or visit www.pawsohio.org.  Follow us on Facebook or Twitter: @PAWSOhio.
