Mayor Dean DePiero, Councilwoman Mary Galinas and members of Parma City Council present a Proclamation and Keys to the City to Citizen of the Month Brandon Yanak. With the help of the Parma Law Department, Brandon helped craft an amendment to an existing city ordinance adding the word “guardian” to be interchangeable with “owner” of a pet. Anita Carswell (Center Left), a representative of the international animal-protection organization In Defense of Animals (IDA), also flew in from California to present Brandon with IDA’s Guardian Award. Brandon is now a student at Wright State University in Dayton.
