Cancer surviver now drives cancer patients to treatment Anne Saker

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Stan Moczydlowski put his Subaru into gear one recent Friday afternoon and pulled out of his Anderson Township subdivision. He was on a mission. A cancer patient needed him. Transportation even to routine medical checkups is a complication for many people in the Cincinnati area who don’t have a car, are too sick to drive themselves, don't have the money for a ride or have no one to drive them. For cancer patients, it’s a factor in survival. The American Cancer Society runs a volunteer army in the region of about 165 drivers like Moczydlowski, on call to drive patients to treatment or appointments. He has been driving since 2013, his car serving as a bridge between the world of cancer and the world of everything else. When he contemplates what his driving means to him, he claps a hand over his heart. His lips tighten. “It just feels good,” he said. At the start of the week, Moczydlowski as usual checked the society’s website where patients ask for drivers. A man in Hyde Park needed a lift to Good Samaritan Hospital. Moczydlowski – pronounced moe-zid-LAUW-ski – signed up to drive. See GIVING BACK, Page 2A

Sky Galley restaurant to stay open with new lease agreement Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It looks like the Sky Galley restaurant inside Cincinnati's Lunken airport terminal will remain open. Restaurant owner Kirby Brakvill said Monday, Jan. 6 that he and Cincinnati city offi cials have agreed to a fi ve-year lease that includes splitting the cost of renovations to the restaurant's space. After Cincinnati offi cials decided to cancel their lease with Brakvill Dec. 12 due to potential food safety risks with the restaurant's space, restaurant patrons created an online petition to save Sky Galley that gathered over 11,000 signatures. Shortly afterward, city administration reopened their lease negotiations with Brakvill. Brakvill said the planned renovations will not aesthetically change the building because "the community really

wants it to stay the same." Instead, the renovations will focus on structural improvements to the facility's fl oor, ceiling and walls. "This building was built in 1925, so it’ll take some structural changes to bring it up to standards," Bravill said. The City of Cincinnati has agreed to contribute up to $100,000 for the cost of the renovations, according to the lease agreement. The city released a statement about the agreement Monday, Jan. 6. “Brakvill, Inc. and the City Administration are pleased that through the terms of this new agreement the restaurant will be able to continue to serve residents and visitors to the City’s municipal airport.” The lease agreement will be submitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for formal approval this month, according to the city's statement.
