Broadview Heights Ohio City Council PASSES Deer Hunting Ordinance

Barb Szabo — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:40:00 GMT

The passage of this ordinance has been a hot topic in Broadview heights Ohio for quite some time now. You could not pick up a copy of the Broadview Journal or the Sun Star Courier without reading about this issue. And of course, you could read about it on line. The ordinance, which will be placed in its entirety on Broadview Height's website, will allow for bow hunting of deer. There have understandably been many comments from those that are strongly opposed and those that are strongly for this ordinance. Please check the website in the upcoming weeks to read the written ordinance. I could not find any information as to when it will be posted so check periodically and I will do the same.

The ordinance passed 4-3 .

Those FOR were:

Helen Dunlap

Tom Pavlica

Roy Stewart

George Stelmaschuk

Those AGAINST were:

Robert Boldt

Jennifer Mahnic

Joe Price

Innovation in Carbon Monoxide Detection

Barb Szabo — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 17:56:00 GMT

According to an article by Ed Hightower, carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the US with more than 20,000 people hospitalized and nearly 500 killed each year. In addition, carbon monoxide poisonings have been on the rise, increasing 36% between 2001 and 2006. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas, which is why it can kill so quickly.

Many people may think, myself included, that the only possible solution is a plug in carbon monoxide detector, which will sound an alarm if CO is detected at that location. The problem with this is that the detector may be in a location, such as a basement, which may be furthest from the bedrooms, and those sleeping in those bedrooms may not hear the alarm. Some detectors use batteries....need I say more?

Tom Olecki of Broadview Heating, Broadview Heights, Ohio offers another solution. A company called CO Authority manufactures a detector that can be mounted by a trained professional in the furnace plenum. This detector constantly monitors the air that comes out of the registers. If CO is detected, this detector actually turns off your furnace and sounds a warning. Power comes from the furnace so batteries are not needed. The cost to install these detectors is between $400 and $450.

Call Tom Olecki at Broadview Heating 440-526-7310 for more information. Broadview Heating is located at 4111 E. Royalton Rd. in Broadview Heights Ohio.

Always consult a licensed heating professional!

Barb Szabo — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:15:00 GMT

Brecksville Ohio has one of the most quaint and beautiful downtown areas I have ever seen. It's such a pleasure to work (and play) here. There is no shortage of things to do in Brecksville. The metro parks offer a peaceful hike that could go on for miles, or you can sit on one of the benches surrounding the beautiful gazebo on the square and read a book, play a round of golf at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, or go to the community center for some fitness training followed by a dip in the pool. the possibilities are endless.....

Barb Szabo — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:53:00 GMT

Below you will find all active listings plus contingent, pending, and closed sales for the second quarter of 2009. Activity has increased for me and most agents I know with a nice combination of buyers buying and listings selling. The numbers are down slightly from first quarter, but activity is steady. There are, of course many homeowners still facing foreclosure, short sales, and unemployment. As has been the case for quite some time now, if you want to sell your home, pricing is key.
