Well, Y2K didn’t bringthe nuclear, internet, technomeltdowns we all feared.But in the last decade, wedid endure the horror of 9-11, several wars and TheGreat Recession of 2009!

Could it have beenworse? Easily. The GreatDepression, World War II,World War I, lots of thingscould have made the firstdecade of the 21st Centurymuch harder to take.

But we survived. Andhere it is - Y2K.1!

What’s your NewYear’s resolution? Ours iswhat it should have been ten

years ago – to simply treatothers the way we wouldlike to be treated – insteadof buying into whatever dealof the day anxiety occupiesthe headlines.

Y2K? Y2K.1? Forgetit. A simple Happy NewYear will do!

SPEAKING OF Y2Kbeing ten years ago already,there are plenty of us aroundwho still remember whenwe were kids and the year2000 seemed like a far-offpromise that may never ar-rive. If you are a child of the40s, 50s, 60s, 70s or eventhe 80s, you can probablyrecall how the concept ofthe year 2000 seemed like adistant dream. And now thatdistant dream was ten years

ago! Want to feel old? Takea look at the newborn babyon the cover of today’s Vil-lager. When she turns 21, itwill be 2031!

In March 2009, bothhealth systems acknowl-edged the need to changethe joint ventures to betterserve the needs of the com-munity and that greater ef-fectiveness in operationswould be critical to the suc-cess of the Catholic hospi-tals’ ministries in today’seconomic environment.

Completion of the re-structuring returns MercyMedical Center in Cantonand St. Vincent Charity Hos-pital in Cleveland to soleownership by SCHS. SCHSsolely owns four hospitals –St. Vincent Charity Hospi-tal, Mercy Medical Centerand two hospitals in SouthCarolina – all united in onemission to continue thehealing ministry of the Sis-ters of Charity of St. Augus-tine.

In addition, the 50 -50joint venture by both sys-tems will continue at St.

To support the missionand vision for St. VincentCharity Hospital, bothhealth systems will alsojointly invest $30 millionover three years through anewly established founda-tion to promote long-termphilanthropic support for St.Vincent Charity Hospital’smission of providing high-quality patient care toCleveland and beyond.

“We value our long-standing relationship withthe Sisters of Charity HealthSystem and believe that thisnew structure will provideextraordinary opportunitiesfor growth and expansion aswell as greater access to thehighest quality of care pro-vided anywhere in the coun-try,” said Thomas F. ZentyIII, CEO of University Hos-pitals. “The $100 million innew strategic investments isa clear commitment by bothowners to making St. JohnWest Shore Hospital a des-tination hospital on the WestSide. We strongly believethat by working closely withthe excellent clinical staff

and employees at St. JohnWest Shore Hospital as wellas through the support ofour community leaders andour volunteers we will suc-ceed in making this vision areality.”

All three hospitals willhave separate Federal 501C3 non profit status and re-tain their Catholic mission,identity and faith obliga-tions as they serve the on-going health care needs oftheir communities. In addi-tion, hospital leadership willremain under current hospi-tal presidents: Cliff Cokerat St. John West Shore Hos-pital; Thomas Cecconi atMercy Medical Center; andSister Judith Ann Karam,CSA at St. Vincent CharityHospital.

SCHS also has plansfor capital projects in excessof $80 million to continueits clinical excellence inmedical services at MercyMedical Center (Mercy).Mercy has long been aleader combining compas-sionate care with high-techinnovation and will con-tinue its focus on emergencyservices, cardiovascularcare, cancer care, strokecare, orthopedics and reha-bilitation. Most recently thehospital added innovativerobotic surgical equipment

to its full complement ofmodern heath care services.

“Not only does this re-structuring reflect what’sbest for each community,but it also demonstrates thevitality of Catholic healthcare and provides signifi-cant dollars for reinvest-ment in each of these hospi-tals,” said Karam. “We arepleased to continue provid-ing Catholic health care tothe Greater Cleveland andCanton communities, con-tinuing our 158-year legacyof healing individuals, fami-lies and communities.”

People come into my office all of the time and tell me,“My teeth are hopeless”. In this day and age, there is nomouth out there that is hopeless. There are so many thingsthat we can do to give you teeth that are solid and perma-nent so that you can really enjoy eating, chewing, smilingand raise your self esteem. There are new therapies forgum disease, which can save teeth, there are implants thatcan replace teeth, and there are even mini implants whichcan help secure a partial or full denture to your jaw so thatit doesn’t move around when you eat and talk. If your teethare yellow, stained, chipped and do not look very nice, thereare tooth colored restorations and porcelain veneers whichcan help to restore your smile to what it was when you wereyounger. Teeth whitening is one of the easiest, most eco-nomical ways to give your smile a quick boost so that youcan be proud once again. Laser dentistry is also very popu-lar with our patients because it reduces and many times,eliminates the need for shots or drilling.

Nothing Is Hopeless… by Dr. Louis Malcmacher ofThe Healthy Smile

The point here is thatthere are lots of new waysfor you to have a comfort-able and pleasant visit andget the dentistry that youneed.

Make 2010 the yearthat you no longer live withcontinuous pain in yourmouth or have some brokenor loose teeth. Call us to-day at 440-892-1810 for afree consultation.

Sadly,they lost him very suddenlyseveral weeks ago. WhenMarguerite spoke with hisfamily they said that thiswas the happiest he hadbeen. They often heardfrom him daily to share whathe had eaten, done and wasplanning to do the next day.Knowing that Our Househas made that kind of dif-ference in a person’s life isquite humbling.

Head Coach GregUrbas welcomed back doz-ens of the celebrated alumswho gathered in the packed-out gym to watch the ’09-

The T-Shirts Said It All…..“Tradition – 25 Team State Titles” on the

front.“89 and Counting” on the back

‘10 Eagles wallop an under-manned and injury plaguedIgnatius squad, 64-4.

Before each match, theP.A. announcer introducedeach wrestler with the nameof corresponding great fromEd’s celebrated history.

And many of thosegreats were in attendancefor the meet, including cur-rent Ohio State Universitysenior starter and three-timeAll-America Lance Palmerand brother Colin. Bothwere four time state champsfor Ed’s.

Fittingly, a CYO meetserved as the opening act,showing that the Ed’s tradi-tion has no plans to slowdown. It all served as goodnews for Urbas, who ispleased with the progress ofthis season’s underclassmenlike Alex Moore and TyWalz, who earned pins, andfellow sophomore MarkMartin (112) who scored atech fall. It is a solid line upbehind seniors AnthonySalupo (145), Ironmanchamp Nick Sulzer (160),and Chris Cvetic (189).Ignatius, however, waswithout defending statechamp Dave Habat (skininfection), Ryan Hoyt andJerome Robinson.

The Ed’s concessionstand sold out of the specialcommemorative T-shirtsfast, and the night was oneof celebration for the leg-endary program. Where elsewould you find a class re-union of state champs span-ning decades as they ex-changed handshakes andholiday greetings? “This issomething,” said Urbas be-fore the meet. “But we stillhave Wadsworth down theroad.”
