x2 On Working and Living in Shaker Heights: James: I think Shaker Heights and Cleveland are fantastic. I love that we can go hear the Cleveland Orchestra and be home by 9 pm. I love that I can pick up the Rapid a block from my house and take it to an Indians game. I love that my children are in a good school that has far more opportunities than what was considered the “best public school” within an hour of NYC. And I love that when people in Shaker ask you how you are doing, they really want to know. ¶ Elaine: We moved here to be closer to my parents after my dad was diagnosed with cancer. We also wanted a strong school system for our children, Amelia and Duncan, then 15 and 12. My sister, Jean Bayless Albrecht, had lived here for over a decade and been singing Shaker’s praises, so we followed her lead. I love the North Union Farmer’s Market at Shaker Square, and the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, both of which are walking distance from our house. I’m at Heinen’s grocery store every other day (conveniently located across from my work), and our favorite lunch spot is J. Pistone’s. Contact: Master Marr’s Family Taekwon-do Center 16706 Chagrin Boulevard (parking off Kenyon Road) (216) 921-KICK (5425) or marrtkd.com Get Your Kicks in This Summer! Master Marr’s Taekwon-do Summer Camp is a great way for beginners to “kick start” their training, and for experienced martial artists to hone their skills. ¶ Choose from two sessions for ages 5-14: June 5-9 and August 7-11, from 9 am to 12:30 pm or 9 am to 3 pm. Younger children come for a half-day of martial arts practice, age-appropriate conditioning, and challenging games. Older children stay after lunch for more training and to prepare a demonstration for friends and family. ¶ Breakout sessions allow instructors to individually tailor drills for each level, and campers with more experience will act as role models for newer students. ¶ Activities take place in an air-conditioned studio, as well as outside when weather permits. Campers will be physically and mentally active for much of the day, and should come prepared to work hard, make friends, and have fun! ¶ For more information or to register, call (216) 921-KICK (5425) or e-mail marrtkd@gmail.com.
