To the Editor:
The Kapsar family would like to thank
the community of Bath, the police, fire

outpouring of generosity and support
during my husband Joshua’s courageous
fight with synovial sarcoma cancer. For
over two years our community stood
beside us and helped in a multitude of
ways. Words cannot express how much
this helped to sustain our family during
this difficult time.

The Bath-Richfield Kiwanis ‘’Shoes 4

up, again. The bin in the Senior Center is
full every week after meetings. Those old
worn-out shoes that seem too tattered
to give to charitable organizations and
are usually thrown out can be donated
to the Shoes 4 Shoeless drive. All shoes
are good shoes for this project: worn-out
shoes, single shoes or even shoes with
holes in them. Drop bins are located at
the Buckeye Xchange, 3031 Brecksville

the Richfield Senior Center. Shoes left

It was a great accomplishment when
Bath resident Aaron Kelley achieved his
Eagle ranking last fall. To earn Scouting’s highest rank, the recent Revere
High School graduate built a shed for
the Catholic Worker House in South
Akron, spending dozens of hours planning, fundraising, acquiring materials and
organizing volunteers.
But his rise to Eagle was hardly a
surprise.
Kelley is a member of Boy Scout Troop
385, an active pack of 54 members that
includes five new Eagle Scouts in the past
year and another 10 Scouts at the Life
rank, which is just below Eagle. In fact,
the Bath troop is anticipating a milestone:

progress to become Eagle Scouts, but
local troops appear to exceed that norm.
Along with the five Eagles of Bath Troop
385, Richfield’s Troop 387 has six Eagles
among its 34 scouts.
The BSA Eagles in Bath are Aaron Kelley, Aaron Remec, Christian Sauer, Brian
Ulinski and David Gerber. Richfield’s
six include Jack Smith, Mason Johnston,

shrine and devotional space at St. Hilary
Catholic Church.
John Tibbs, Marak Jaras, Liam Smartt and
Broderick Lewis.
To obtain the rank of Eagle, each Scout
– in addition to earning the 21 life-skills
merit badges required – must complete
an extensive service project to benefit the
community. The Scout chooses the project, puts together a plan with drawings
and materials lists and oversees construction, all before he is 18. He plans and
manages every component, including
safety features and food for the Scouts
who are going to help.
Eagle projects can be seen in and around
the community. Remec worked with the
Bath and Richfield fire departments to
build a “squirt house” used during Safety
Town; Gerber added landscaping and signage directing traffic to the Bath United
Church of Christ Memorial Garden; Sauer
graded land and built a fire ring, benches
and wood storage facility on the campus
of Bath United Church of Christ for use
by all local churches, and Ulinski created
a shrine and devotional space at St. Hilary.
“It’s very demanding to be in charge of
every aspect of the project,” Kelley said.
“But, it’s a kind of experience you really
don’t get anywhere else.”
Kelley believes he and his fellow Scouts
were well prepared to take the Eagle challenge after years of training and encouragement to take more responsibility in
meetings and outings.
“Starting as early as the first or second

facility on the campus of Bath United
Church of Christ.
year, you are eligible to hold different leadership roles in the troop,” he said.
Such experience was invaluable when
he joined marching band in high school
and quickly rose to section leader. It also
came in handy as he advanced through his
training in fencing and taught the sport
to young people and, most recently, as a
trainer for new associates with his parttime job at Panera.
Ulinski said self-confidence is another
benefit of reaching the Eagle rank.
“The confidence that comes with achieving such a significant milestone is something that will resonate with the boys
through the rest of their lives,” he said.
“Like all boys, they are collecting a lot
of achievements in their teen years, from
driving to first jobs and first relationships.
Achieving Eagle ranking stands up to
all these other important milestones in
the way it prepares them for a successful
adult life.”
Ulinski said that Troop 385 has tracked
down nearly all of its living Eagles Scouts
from the last century for a commemoration once it reaches that 100th Eagle. In
the meantime, he and other leaders will
continue to support and encourage the
troop, which added 17 new Scouts this
spring.
“We are a growing troop and part of
that is that the younger boys see what the
older boys have accomplished and what is
possible,” he said. “We could not be more
proud of them.” ∞

months, and for Bath Township changes are
underway for state Route 18/Medina Road.
At an estimated cost of $7.5 million, the
state Route 18 construction project will be
a major undertaking to address traffic issues
in the Montrose corridor and areas west to
the county line.
While a large part of the project will
involve repaving Route 18 from the intersection of Revere Road and West Market

Line Road, the addition of two lanes will
be another part of the improvements. One
lane will address westbound Medina Road
traffic and another for eastbound traffic
will extend from the Interstate 77 overpass
to Hametown Road.
Initial design for the improvements
included consideration of a roundabout,
or a circular traffic pattern in the area.
However, costs associated with land acquisition, engineering and construction
made the roundabout concept prohibitive.
Instead, the design focus shifted to the
addition of travel lanes in hopes of alleviating traffic congestion in the area. The
project is being proposed in three separate
phases:
• Phase I will include the widening of
Route 18 from I-77 to Hametown Road.
There will be an additional lane added in
each direction to reduce congestion.
• Phase II will involve repaving Route 18
from Hametown Road to Medina Line
Road, which will also include bridge
repair work.
• Phase III will include resurfacing Route
18/Medina Road from the Akron corporation line at Revere Road to I-77.
Originally considered for the project was
the closure of Montrose West Avenue and a

relocation of westbound traffic to Heritage
Woods Drive. However, that closure will
not be performed. ODOT received public
comment on the proposed closure and after
consideration, decided against the plan.
The design for the closure and relocation of the intersection was completed as a
separate, stand-alone plan but will not be
implemented in the current construction
project. ODOT officials have said they
plan to monitor traffic flow in the area
after the widening and resurfacing project
is complete to determine if additional improvements are needed.
The project also includes adjustments
to the Route 18 eastbound ramp to I-77
southbound and the replacement of the
Route 18 bridge over Yellow Creek between
Creekrun Drive and Harmony Hills Road.
For those who travel the area daily, especially during rush hour, traffic congestion
can make passage very difficult. In 2014,
the Bath Police Department responded to
68 crashes on Route 18 between Springside Drive and Crystal Lake Road. Most
involved rear-end collisions.
Compounding the problem are motorists exiting from I-77 onto Route 18 who
encounter backups and a labyrinth of cars
while attempting to merge onto travel lanes.
The difficulty with traffic exiting the
interstate onto Route 18 is problematic on
both the north and south sides of Medina
Road. For that reason, it is hoped that the
addition of a travel lane in each direction
will decrease traffic congestion. Traffic enforcement efforts continue to be a priority in
the area and have helped in slowing traffic
through this corridor.
ODOT has indicated that a minimum
of one lane of traffic will be maintained in
each direction on Route 18 during nonpeak travel times. Further, Route 18 between Creekrun Road and Harmony Hills
Drive will be reduced to one lane in each
direction during the bridge replacement.
Various short-term ramp closures will occur at the I-77/Route 18 interchange, but
all detours will be posted. Access to all residences and businesses will be maintained
at all times throughout construction. The
contract award date is scheduled for June
2015 with the completion date in October
2016.
Although these projects will require the
patience of motorists, residents and businesses, they will ultimately result in much
smoother travel for everyone. ∞

TOWNSHIP
Generosity abounds for Bath Parks
by Kathy Sidaway
June 1 township trustee meeting
Bath-Richfield Kiwanis members gave
trustees a check for $7,500 at the June
1 Bath Township Trustee meeting. That
check, along with $2,500 from Kiwanis
National and a $32,000 Natureworks
grant will be used for playground upgrades at Bath Baseball Park.
Trustees were also presented with a paid
invoice by the nonprofit group Friends
of the Regal Beagle for installation of
electricity and lighting in the pavilion
at the Bath Nature Preserve. The cost of
improvements was nearly $3,500 and was
made possible through donor support.
Three seasonal workers have returned to
trim, mow grass and do mulching at the
baseball park and inspect playgrounds and
trails. They also assisted with Project Pride
and Memorial Day observance preparations. Work on the bog walkway also is
underway. At Bath Nature Preserve, the
460-square-foot community garden has
been fenced in and tilled. In the center
of the garden are a compost area and two
550-gallon water tanks.

They, along with regular service employees, have been restoring right-of-ways
and repairing damage from snowplows
and water main breaks. During May, four
drive culverts were replaced, 338 feet of
roadside ditching was completed, two
asphalt aprons were replaced and roadside
mowing took place.
Police appreciation week
Bath police received several letters from
residents during Police Appreciation
Week expressing gratitude. The Egbert
family also sent a letter thanking the department for its assistance during funeral
services for longtime Bath resident Ruth
Egbert.
Trustees accepted and signed agreements with the Fraternal Order of Police,
Ohio Labor Councils Inc. for patrol officers, sergeants, lieutenants and dispatchers retroactive from Jan. 1 through Dec.
31, 2017. The bargaining agreement was
reached following binding arbitration
and calls for three percent annual wage
increases for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The
agreements were negotiated with the use
of conciliators and Township Administrator Vito Sinopoli explained, “The conciliator’s decision is binding.”
Police answered 890 calls for service
in May, including one burglary and 19
thefts. Officers Robbie Young and Ben
Falconer arrested three adults, one from
Bath, one from Brecksville and one from
Cleveland, who were in possession of drug
instruments common to heroin use.
Injured owl prompts evacuation
Fire personnel answered 137 calls in
May: 45 for fire and 92 for emergency
medical services. There were several vehicle accidents during the last week in
May, including one fatality.
One of the more unusual calls involved
a couple that found an injured two-pound
barred owl along the road. The owl, placed
in a laundry basket inside the couple’s car,
decided to join the driver in the front seat,
prompting the driver to exit the vehicle.
Members of the fire department were able
to transfer the owl to a pet carrier and
transport the bird to the Medina Raptor
Center, where it will be cared for. When
it recovers, the owl will be released from
B01 TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE MEETING
The president of the Bath-Richfield Kiwanis, Larry Sandlin, is presenting a check for
$10,000 to Bath Township. Along with $32,000 received from the Natureworks Grant,
the money will be used to expand the playground at Bath Baseball Park on Everett Road.

growing up...
As good as I had it growing up,
I think we all have a need for someone
that we can talk with.
My father died when I was 22 and my kid sister
was only 12. I had a football coach; I had other
people I could go to that my sister did not. When
your parent dies suddenly and you’re 12 years
old there’s a whole wealth of support that
you miss. Child Guidance & Family Solutions
provides that support system that we may
sometimes need in life.
Having an agency like Child Guidance & Family
Solutions is vitally important for the community.

Montrose Zion United Methodist program raises poverty awareness
by Ann Duke
According to Bridges Summit County,
a community response to poverty, 29
percent of Akron’s residents and 44 percent of Akron’s children live in poverty,
and every night in Akron nearly 1,000
homeless men, women, and children
live in cardboard boxes, cars, abandoned
buildings, doorways, temporary shelters
and under bridges.
These disturbing statistics contributed,
in part, to Associate Pastor Amy Price
of Montrose Zion United Methodist
Church initiating a student ministry program to raise awareness of those who face

and Kaitlyn
Borcherding

poverty and homelessness on a daily basis.
“I want our young people to develop
compassion for this vulnerable segment
of society and to engage in relationship
building with those served by Haven of
Rest in downtown Akron,’’ Price said. “I
want them to realize how difficult and
overwhelming it is to rise out of poverty.
Our students also need to learn that poverty is not only a lack of resources but a
lack of hope. It is important for our students to realize they have the potential to
impact the world and they can do it now.’’
Toward that end, Price encourages students to participate in the church’s Grace
Park Outreach program. This involves
serving a free lunch one Sunday a month
in the downtown Akron park, which is a
refuge for those in need. They also spend
considerable time interacting with those
who come to the park.
One of the components of the student
ministry program was the Cardboard
Camp-Out held on church grounds
from 8 p.m., June 5, to 7 a.m., June 6.
The idea was to simulate the plight of
the homeless and the burdens of poverty.
Eleven middle school and high school
students participated in the overnight
activity. Kyle Fertig brought a classmate
from the STEM school to the Cardboard
Camp-Out.
“Grace Park is just two blocks from my
school, so I feel a special commitment to
this outreach program,’’ Fertig said. “I
want to be a part of the support system
for this neighborhood.’’
The evening event began with students
constructing their shelters using dozens of
large cardboard boxes donated by church
and community members along with rolls
20
and rolls of duct tape.
Each shelter was different: some were
built for one student, others housed four
or five. Some were covered in plastic, and
a few were built to allow the camper to
sleep half in the box and half under the
stars. Some were shaped like tents, one
resembled a Soap Box Derby racer, and

Poverty awareness continued
others had a square or rectangle configuration. There was a “keep out” sign posted
by one of the cardboard shelters. Several
shelters suffered damage during the night
due to a light rain.
“My shelter was mush by morning and
I had to chase it down when it blew away
in the wind,’’ said Revere freshman Colin
Murphy. “I can’t imagine what it would
be like having to live like this. The winter
must be unbearable.’’
Once the construction process was
completed, the campers engaged in an
intense dialogue regarding poverty with
Jordan Gerber, director of youth ministry
at New Philadelphia First United Methodist Church, and Patrick Gerber, case
manager at Project REBUILD in Canton.
When asked to enumerate their everyday “guarantees,” students mentioned
food, water, heat, clean clothes, electricity, transportation, at least one parent,
a home, a comfortable bed to sleep in.
Jordan countered with her life story about
growing up in poverty, and that items
the students took for granted were never
guaranteed for her. Even a lack of reliable
transportation was a huge hurdle.
Patrick emphasized that when a person
lacks substantial and supportive relationships, resources, options and opportunities, his or her reality can seem entirely

devoid of hope. He shared with the group
his Project REBUILD experiences of
transforming the lives of at-risk youth
through relationship building.
The students also completed a simulation activity to better understand the dollars and cents behind poverty. They took
pencil and paper to calculate monthly
expenses for housing, food, childcare,
utilities and transportation based on
family size and number of children. That
total did not include the cost of clothing,

haircuts, cleaning supplies, health care,
recreation, birthday gifts and unexpected
expenditures. This “basic cost of living” was
subtracted from the family’s total income
derived from a minimum wage job(s) or
some sort of government assistance. What
little, if any, remained was a shock to the
students.
After finishing this exercise, Emma
Lubes, a St. Vincent-St. Mary sophomore,
lamented, “I only had $12 left to take care
of two kids for the rest of the month, so
school supplies and clothes were not going
to be possible, Plus, I had no money to
cover incidental expenses or unexpected
bills. That’s no way to live.”
Lubes is known as the Cookie Lady to the
Grace Park community, because she passes
out those treats at the Sunday free lunch.
“This was an eye-opening experience,’’
said Revere sophomore Sydney Borcherding. “I never realized anyone had to live
with so little. I haven’t had to worry about
things like that. I sent a picture of my
just-completed shelter to my friends via
Snapchat. It certainly got their attention
and sparked their curiosity.”
Students settled down in the cardboard
shelters around midnight. Most woke up
at dawn. The following day the campers
served lunch at Grace Park then toured
Haven of Rest. With Cardboard CampOut sponsorships and church member
donations, the students collected over
$400 for Haven of Rest and their Grace
Park lunch ministry. ∞
Montrose Zion UMC has been re-energized
Pastor Elizabeth Hadler has been steward of Montrose Zion United Methodist
Church for four years. After teaching math
and coaching tennis and volleyball at the
college level for five years, she was called
into the ministry while on a mission trip
to Brazil in 1992. Pastor Elizabeth is the
mother of six children and has used her
parenting skills to nurture three young
members of her staff.
The Reverend Amy Price was ordained in
2012 and has been the pastor to students
and young adults at Mount Zion UMC
since 2014. Her Cardboard Camp-Out and
the Grace Park Outreach are testaments to
the church’s core values of humility, service,
love and care. Joe Leaman, music ministry
director, has been on board for a year. He
has a music degree from the University of
Akron. In addition to his part-time position
at the church, he is a professional musician
and an active member of the Northeast
Ohio music scene. Katie Constantine, a
graduate of the University of Akron, has
been office manager for three years.
Sharon Paige, children’s ministry coordinator and preschool director, has been on
the church staff since 2007 when the preschool opened. She has initiated outreach
programs benefiting residents of Copley
Place, families staying at Ronald McDonald
House and those receiving Mobile Meals.
The children’s ministry program also has
4793 Stonegate, Bath
$635,000
provided underwear for Harvest Home, a
children’s and women’s shelter under the
auspices of Haven of Rest. Paige also is involved in Vacation Bible School (July 6-10).
Again this year children from Harvest
Home will attend the morning activities
and eat lunch at church before going back to
the shelter in downtown Akron. Last year’s
Vacation Bible School participants contributed 1,000 cans of food and nonperishable
items to Haven of Rest.
The church’s on-site Roots of Hope
community garden was initiated in 2014
by Co-Wefa Scott, Carrie Habel and
Roy Speer. Its wide variety of produce
benefits R AHAB Ministries, a local
outreach of hope to Akron prostitutes.
Last year’s harvest helped feed 50
people weekly at the ministry’s Soup
’N Shop. Scott canned tomatoes, froze
green beans and corn and made freezer
meals of vegetable lasagna and eggplant
parmesan for winter. This year’s team of
gardeners is comprised of Polly Daher,
Beth Gerberich, Donna Jo Reynolds,
Habel and Scott. Crown Point Ecology Center donates the vast majority of
plants to these gardeners. ∞

Friends of Regal Beagle serve pizza
Bath Township Administrator Vito
Sinopoli and friends took turns playing
chef, as residents took part in the second
annual Friends of the Regal Beagle Pizza
Bake June 11.
The purpose of the event was to raise
funds to preserve a piece of private property inside the Bath Nature Preserve.
Joseph Hostetler, one of the founders of a
noted Cleveland law firm, once owned the
property and used it for hunting. He built
a lodge and named it the Regal Beagle. He
also is believed to have constructed the
outdoor brick oven that was used to bake
pizza last month. It is likely that decades

fall ill, many pet parents seek out immediate care no matter the time of day.
When a pet requires urgent care at odd
hours, they end up where most humans
do, in the ER.
Shaun McWilliams, CEO of Akron
Referral and Veterinary Center, said his
facility most often sees cats and dogs that
are seizing, having trouble breathing,
bleeding profusely, suffering from heat
stroke or have collapsed.
According to Dr. Dan Bestic of the
Veterinary Center of Hudson, some seemingly mild symptoms such as tight circling
or a head tilt might signal larger issues.
“I had a dog yesterday that developed
a little head tilt and that night ended up
having a fever of 103,” he said.
The dog underwent a spinal tap, which
showed it had contracted meningitis;
however, it received early treatment and is
on the road to recovery. McWilliams has
also seen some more severe cases.
“We saw a police dog a while ago that
ingested a small amount of C4 explosive,”
he said. “That was an extreme issue.”
But more often, he said, he sees animals
that have ingested household medications
that can be deadly.
According to Dr. Matt Ehresman, emergency veterinarian at the Metropolitan
Veterinary Hospital in Copley, not only
are common human anti-inflammatory
medications a danger to cats and dogs,
but things like grapes, raisins, sugar substitutes found in chewing gum and select
flowers can all also be toxic.
Another common reason a pet lands in
the ER is trauma from cars or fights with
other animals.
“Anything that falls under severe trau-
ma,” said McWilliams. “Those are the
kind of things where you don’t really want
to wait until the next day.”
Most patients at these veterinary ERs
are cats and dogs, but according to Ehresman, they also see a lot of small pocket
pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats,
mice and chinchillas, as well as reptiles
and exotic pets.
“In a nutshell, the ER is there to fix the issue,
or develop enough diagnostic information
to provide further care,” said McWilliams.
After the patient is stabilized, the vets
can hand off care to a specialist, the family’s regular veterinarian or even send the
animal home.
Most facilities accept pet insurance.
McWilliams said that the client must pay
before they leave; however, staff is on hand
to help fill out paperwork for reimbursements from pet insurance providers. ∞

PETS
Snakes on the brain: Caring for snakes as pets
by Jon Huff
Looking for an easy-to-care-for pet that
will not break the bank? A snake might
be the right choice.
“They are great pets to have,” said Rob
Everley, owner of Akron Rattery and
26
Reptile Rescue. “They don’t smell. As far
as care, you really only have to play with
them once or twice a day and spot clean
their tank.”
For those without experience handling
snakes, Everley suggests a smaller variety
such as a corn snake or ball python.
Other species are more difficult to handle,
and require more effort through getting
permits.
According to the Ohio Department of
Agriculture, venomous snakes and anacondas or pythons that are longer than
12 feet are classified as restricted species.
Anybody looking to own a restricted species must get a permit from the state and
show proof of liability insurance, starting
at $100,000 for ownership of one to five
restricted snakes.
“Most snakes are allowed under the new
[Dangerous Wild Animal Act] laws,” said
Erica Hawkins, communications director
at the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
“For venomous snakes, the owner needs
a permit but also has to have access to
anti-venom for every species they own,
either on location or at a local hospital.
They need to show proof of that to local
law enforcement. The owner is also liable
for any costs that may come up as a result
of their snake,” Hawkins said.
She said the venomous snakes and big
constrictors are not as common in everyday homes. Most people stick with smaller
and non-poisonous snakes.
Owners do not need much equipment
to raise a snake. What is needed can be
found at most pet stores. Everley said the
necessities are a 10- to 20-gallon tank,
a locking fresh-air lid, a heat pad and a
light source.
“Unless you want to put a lot of money
into it, keeping snakes doesn’t cost much.
Ball pythons eat one mouse a week. We
sell mice for $1 a piece. Figure that’s $4 a
month,” he said.
The creatures should not be left alone
to crawl free.
“They can get lost real fast,” Everley said.
“If you don’t keep an eye them, they’ll get
into any little hole or space and become
hard to find.”
Still, snakes do like to get out of the
cage. Interaction, as simple as letting the
snake crawl and wrap around a hand or
arm, lets the animal and owner bond.
“Each snake has its own personality,”
Everley said. “If you give it respect, you’ll
get respect back.” ∞

Beekeeping hobby buzzes into the mainstream
by Kristin Wedemeyer Goss
Honeybees are responsible for about a
third of the food the nation consumes,
according to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. Without them, many crops
would fail, yet the total number of honeybee colonies has decreased from 5 million
75 years ago to only 2.5 million today.
On a positive note, however, the bee
population is on the rebound – up 13
percent since 2008, according to the publication Ag Professional. Locally, amateur
beekeepers are working to keep those
numbers up and having fun doing it.
“Beekeeping 101” classes are a good
starting point for many would-be beekeepers. The Rocky River Nature Center,
24000 Valley Parkway, North Olmsted,
and the Eastwood Preserve, 4712 Streetsboro Rd., Richfield, offer classes to novice
beekeeping enthusiasts.
Starting an apiary takes money and
time. Starter kits – which include two
or three hive bodies, frames and a wax
or plastic foundation, inner and outer
covers, bottom board and other beekeeping equipment – cost roughly $375. A
three-pound package of 12,000 bees and
a queen costs another $100. There are
annual costs too, but a well-maintained
hive can last for decades.
Jack Waldeck, a partner at a Cleveland
law firm, raises bees at his Bainbridge
home.
“I usually have three to four hives going
and spend about three hours per month
on them during the active/warm season,
which runs through mid-to late-October
when temperatures drop, and there’s no
goldenrod or wildflowers for the bees to
harvest,” he said.
At the peak of the summer season, a
hive can have more than 100,000 bees.
Much of the honey they produce must
be left in the hive to feed the bees during
the winter, but a vigorous and healthy
hive here can produce a surplus of up to
40 pounds during a good season.
Annette Clark has a rooftop apiary at
the Hildebrandt building in the Clark/
Fulton area of Cleveland and also raises
honeybees in her West Park neighborhood.
“I’m adding five additional hives this
season. If there’s enough food available,
I’ll consider adding more next year. Better
to have fewer hives that are healthy than
many that are so-so,” she said, “Practice
with mentors is key for being able to recognize disease, stress, mites and healthy
brood patterns.”
Waldeck agrees keeping the bees healthy
can be a challenge due to parasites, such
as the varroa mite, and poor weather
conditions.
“It isn’t uncommon for northern beekeepers to lose 30 to 50 percent of their
hives over the winter due to subpar hive
health,” Waldeck said.
Challenges aside, “Just watching the
bees come and go is very relaxing,” said
Clark. “Knowing that my efforts will
help keep our pollinators alive and well
is satisfying. Honey, when the hive can
spare it, is a nice bonus. ∞

Field station welcomes new manager
by Nancy Hudec
In the world of bugs, biology and environmental education, Dr. Lara Roketenetz is an expert. On June 1, Roketenetz
brought her expertise to the University of
Akron Field Station (UAFS) in the Bath
Nature Preserve as the newly named field
station manager. She follows former station manager Greg Smith, who left last
summer for a teaching position at Kent
State University.
B10 FIELD STATION WELCOMES NEW MANAGER
Field station manager Dr. Lara Roketenetz
will take her knowledge and experience
out into the community.
“We are excited and looking forward to
the next stage of the field station with Dr.
Roketenetz at the helm,” said Dr. Randy
Mitchell, UAFS Director. “She is a good
biologist, has outreach and education
experience and is very enthusiastic.”
Mitchell said various educational groups
and a national organization for field
station managers helped locate the best
candidates from places such as Kentucky
and New Jersey.
“She was the best candidate, by far,”
Mitchell said.
Roketenetz comes to UAFS having recently obtained a doctorate in integrated
bioscience from the University of Akron.
She studied a native beetle used as a
biological control agent in the management of Eurasian water milfoil. Eurasian
milfoil is an aquatic plant that is difficult
to control and can drastically alter a water
body’s ecology.
A study of spotted turtles led Roketenetz
to a master’s of science degree in biology
from John Carroll University; she earned
a bachelor’s in biology from Case Western
Reserve University.
She also is a recent graduate of a permaculture design certification course.
According to permaculture.net, permaculture is the harmonious integration
of the landscape with people, providing
food, energy, shelter and other needs in a
sustainable way.
Roketenetz worked with City Rising
Farm, an urban agricultural education
program in Cleveland and founded the
nonprofit Green Triangle for environmental education. A former natural resources
specialist at the nature center at Shaker
Lakes, she was a wetlands consultant in
Mentor.
“She will spend part of the time at the
field station but will be out sharing her
experiences and expertise with the surrounding communities,” Mitchell said.
Having already expressed interest in the
Bath Community Garden project, Roketenetz is hitting the ground running. ∞

New health commissioner continues work in new centralized facility
branches closed, none of the services those
locations offered were lost, said Nixon.
The remaining satellite locations on
South Arlington Street and West Crosier
Street in Akron, West Tuscarawas Avenue in Barberton, Valley View Road in
Macedonia and Graham Road in Stow
still provide basic services such as WIC
(food subsidies for women and children),
childhood immunizations, clinical health
and mosquito and vector control.
Along with the merging of services
under one roof came an increase in manpower. The new location boasts health and
environmental labs and a dental office.
Nixon said that of Summit County Public Health’s approximately 230 full-time
employees, about 90 percent of them are
based out of the new location.
As the new commissioner at the new
facility, Skoda will oversee more than 20
programs, including food safety, immunizations and emergency preparedness, as
well as clinical health services, focusing on
health promotion, disease prevention and
communicable disease control.
Skoda’s career in public health spans
more than a quarter of a century. It started

and cope with ongoing poor health. This
led her to seek additional education so
she could contribute solutions leading
to a healthier, more productive life for
neglected members of society.
Armed with a master’s degree in public
health and nutrition from Case Western Reserve University, Skoda joined
MetroHealth in Cleveland, working in
an inner-city outpatient pediatric and
obstetrics clinic. That led to a job providing nutrition services to children with
special health-care needs. She went on
to accept a position with the Ohio State
University Extension Program, heading
up a nutritional outreach program in the
Cleveland area. After two years of promoting the benefits of urban gardening,
she accepted a position with the Summit
County Public Health Department and
in 2001 took up residence in Richfield.
In addition to her professional life,
Skoda has taken an active part in Richfield community affairs and served as a
volunteer on the recreation district that
purchased the former Crowell-Hilaka Girl
Scout camp. She has imparted the need
for exercise to her 87-year-old mother
who walks five miles a day.
She serves as a Summit County Probate
Court volunteer guardian for an indigent
schizophrenic person and has helped with
animal rescue groups.
When working with clients throughout
the health district she takes young members of the department with her. She said,
“It is important for today’s generation to
see firsthand how others live. It is a learning experience they never forget.”
She added, “I want to leave the world a
better place. I firmly believe it’s not what
you have that’s important, but rather what
you leave behind. I am confident this new
leadership position will help me achieve
that goal.” ∞

Business Brief
Residents at the Village at St. Edward in
Fairlawn are participating in an innovative
“Music & Memory” program designed
to train caregivers how to create and
provide personalized playlists on digital
music players. The program enables those
struggling with dementia to reconnect to
the world through memories triggered
by the music they love. Personalized
playlists, scientists believe, can help trigger memories in even advanced dementia
and Alzheimer’s residents. The Ohio
Health Care Association, through its
Educational Foundation and in partnership with the Ohio Department of Aging, has provided “scholarships” to 100
facilities statewide, including the Village
at St Edward, enabling them to become
a certified campus. ∞

Dangerous trends of youth should be monitored by parents
by Joyce A. Banjac
In the popular ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, participants agree to dump buckets
of ice water over their heads to support
charity. The fire challenge, unlike the ice
bucket challenge, has nothing to do with
altruism or philanthropy. According to
the Washington Post, the fire challenge is
“one of the latest alarming teen trends.”
Individuals voluntarily set themselves on
fire and, having survived the ordeal, upload videos of it to social media sites, pressuring friends to take on the challenge.
Brecksville Fire Chief Ed Egut contacted
the MetroHealth Medical Center burn unit
for information regarding local incidents
and said none had been reported. Lindsey
Burnsworth, publicist for the Ohio Department of Commerce and State Fire Marshal,
said she has heard of only two incidents in
Ohio – one in Cincinnati and the other in
Licking County. Burnsworth added, however, that a 15-year-old in New York died
attempting the fire challenge.
Broadview Heights Fire Chief Jeff Hajek
said many teens are naïve to the dangers of
fire and are not really trying to get hurt.
Participants will, and do, get burned.
However, injuries can be sustained even
when the skin doesn’t appear affected.
Noses can be singed, Hajek explained.
Lungs can be damaged by inhaling
chemicals and scorched by breathing in
searing flames and extreme heat, he said.
If an incident is suspected, Hajek advises
friends and family of the participant to
immediately contact 911, the authorities
and the hospital, even if it does not appear
as though the skin was seriously burned.
Egut added, “The first thing we do when
a burn occurs is to check for respiratory
burns and damage to airways.”
Anyone toying with the idea of participating, Egut said, should spend time
at MetroHealth’s burn unit to observe
firsthand the pain and disfiguration that
victims of fire endure.
Monitoring, communication is key
The fire challenge is expected to be
short-lived.
“After the fire challenge there will be
another challenge that will take its place
in the next month,” Revere Schools’ security officer Eric Shaffer said.
He encourages parents to take an active
role in monitoring social media to ward off
any danger posed by similar challenges.
“Phones are like little computers.
They can access everything,” Shaffer
said.
Since parents likely pay the phone
bills, they should establish expectations
for their children, such as insisting
that, “children put their phone on the
parent’s nightstand at 8 p.m.,” he said.
“Part of being a parent is to know
what is going on,” noting that, “sexting
is another problem.”
The best method for prevention is for
parents to talk with their kids, sentiments shared by Shaffer, Hajek, Egut
and Burnsworth.
“In today’s day and age, being in tune
with teens is difficult,” Hajek noted.
Shaffer said that it is tough for parents with older teens to change the
rules about social media in midstream,
but it is their responsibility to do so.
Parents must educate their kids “just
like they would if their kids were driving too fast,” Hajek said. ∞

Hemlock Trail will connect Cuyahoga Valley Towpath to Independence
by Heather Beyer
As part of economic development the
city of Independence is leading an effort
to make a trail that would directly connect
the city to the Towpath. Construction
on the Hemlock Creek Trail could begin
this fall, if the city of Independence is
approved for a $500,000 grant from the
Clean Ohio Trails Fund.
The proposed Hemlock Trail will be an
approximate 1.7-mile trail connecting
Brecksville Road in Independence to the
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Towpath.
in Valley View.
House passes bill prohibiting sale of pure caffeine;
bans powdered alcohol
The Ohio House of Representatives recently passed Senate Bill 7, legislation that
prohibits the sale of pure caffeine in the state.
Senate Bill 7, sponsored by State Senator Gayle Manning (R-North Ridgeville),
stems from an incident in LaGrange, where
18-year-old Logan Stiner tragically died
from a lethal dose of pure caffeine. Soon
after, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about the product,
which is sold in a powdered form. A teaspoon of pure caffeine, according to the
FDA, is equivalent to approximately the
amount of caffeine in 25 cups of coffee.
House Bill 14, which passed the House
earlier this year, was also inserted into
34
the bill this week during the committee
process. The provision prohibits the sale
of powdered or crystalline alcohol, also
known as Palcohol. This product can be
easily concealed and can be added to any
beverage to make an alcoholic drink.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau approved the sale of Palcohol in the
U.S. in March; however, according to the
National Conference of State Legislatures,
36 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto
Rico have introduced legislation that limits
its sale in some way.
Senate Bill 7 passed with broad bipartisan
support and will now go to the governor
for consideration. ∞
With construction costs estimated at
$2.8 million the project budget includes
a $1.8 million federal appropriation obtained through the Ohio Department of
Transportation in 2006.
Derek Schaefer, executive director of
West Creek Conservancy, said the project
was first conceptualized in 2007.
“This has been a long, planned effort
between West Creek Conservancy and
Independence,” Schaefer said.
In his role with West Creek Conservancy Schaefer said he is “coordinating
efforts with the city to leverage additional
funding for trail construction.” ∞
County bow hunting
lottery takes place
July 24
Summit Metro Parks will allow hunting by bow and arrow or crossbow in
more than 20 selected areas by permit
this fall as part of its ongoing deer
management program. Each permit,
determined by lottery on Friday, July
24, is good for up to four adults and
two juveniles. Only Summit County
residents may enter the lottery, but
individuals whose names are chosen
may add non-Summit residents to
their permits.
Lottery applications are available
online at summitmetroparks.org beginning Tuesday, June 9. Applications
must be postmarked by Saturday, July
18, and all applicants must provide a
valid email address. Applications are to
be mailed to: Archery Program, P.O.
Box 5250, Akron, OH 44334.
Up to three hunting permits will
be assigned per location. All areas are
remote and have limited public access.
Hunters must follow park rules and
regulations and the hunting guidelines
established by the Ohio Division of
Wildlife. Hunting season is Sept. 26Feb. 7. Through seven previous seasons
of the archery program, participants
have taken a total of 572 deer.
Metro Parks officials said regionally
and throughout the state changes in
habitat and the elimination of natural
predators have allowed deer herds to
grow to unnatural densities, threatening biodiversity. ∞

Bath Volunteers for Service was again
successful promoting a feeling of true
community spirit with its 38th Annual
Bath Home Tour.
Year after year, gracious township homeowners open their houses for the group’s
largest fundraiser. Much of the money
raised goes directly back into community
entities such as Crown Point, Victory
Gallop, Bath Township Museum, Bath
Community Day and the Bath Fire Department, not to mention several scholarships given each spring to high school
graduates living in the Revere school
district.
It was an honor for me and my children
Cassidy and Devon Colarik to host this
year’s homeowners’ cocktail party to cap off
the all-day event. The party is a small way
of saying thank you to the homeowners
from BVS, who truly appreciate the work
that goes into opening one’s home to the
public. Faces in the crowd included: Sue
and Tony Paparella, Ron and Susan
Bishop, Mike and Maryanne Slattery,
Earlene McGonegal and John Betonte,
Jim and Cheryl Nilsen, Ann and Gene
Palumbo, and Greg and Amy Hocevar.
Also thanks to BVS members Nadine
Clar and Amy Bowers, whose husband
Brad handled the bartending duties with
a calm and friendly demeanor; Renee
Zumpano, who kept the dishes clean and
left my kitchen practically spotless; Mari
Fetzer; BVS president Jennifer Douglas,
home tour committee chair, who did an
amazing job finding the homes and garden
for this year’s event; and Julie Nitzche and
Jane Scott for helping during the evening
soiree. Kudos to one and all for another
fantastic BVS Home Tour.
More than 1,000 yogis participated
in the first Elevate YOGAkron held at
Hardesty Park. Many Bath residents were
among those celebrating the Soul of Akron,
including Caroline (owner of Yoga Bliss)
and Mark Gronowski, Jennifer Bishop,
and Fred and Carol Shockey. The event
was brought together by the city of Akron,
local yoga studios and other organizations.
It included a free-for-all-levels yoga practice, amazing music and food trucks.
Social media is no longer a place just for
teenagers and young adults to post photos,
selfies and whereabouts. It has permeated
the mainstream. Recently, Akron Community Foundation celebrated its 60th
anniversary, so the organization decided
to do a bit of merrymaking by delivering

small fund holders and major community
organizations with instructions to “Throw

CoolContour
Clinic Puts the
Freeze
on Fat
The hottest new way to say goodbye to love handles, muffin tops
and saddlebags is ice cold. Cool
sculpting is a non-invasive treatment that permanently gets rid of
unwanted fat cells by selectively
freezing them. More than one million Americans have experienced
the benefits of cool sculpting, and
itÕ s now available in Northeastern
Ohio. The CoolContour Clinic offers
the no-needle, no-scalpel, no-scar
procedure in Fairlawn just across
the street from Summit Mall.
CoolContour Clinic Medical Director Anup Salgia, M.D. said itÕ s his
way of bringing the Hollywood look
home. Ò You see these actors in their
sixties and seventies with bodies
that look so sculpted Ð not even a
good diet and exercise can do that
alone,Ó observed Dr. Salgia. Ò Why
shouldnÕ t people in our area have
the edge and be able to roll back
the clock 10 or 15 years by getting
rid of that stubborn fat?Ó
Cool sculpting, or cryolipolysis,
works by precisely cooling the unwanted fat layer to crystallize or
freeze the targeted fat cells. The
body naturally processes the fat
and eliminates these dead cells
over several weeks. Each person is
born with a set number of fat cells
- once theyÕ ve been destroyed,
they are gone for good. Patients
notice a gradual reduction of 20
to 25 percent in the fat layer and a
more sculpted appearance. Dr. Salgia noted, Ò I have seen even more
significant results in clients who are
committed to eating well and staying active.Ó
The fat busting method of cryolipolysis was discovered by researchers from Harvard Medical School
and Massachusetts General Hospital who found that people who
ate a lot of popsicles as children
tended to develop dimples. Studies found that the targeted freezing
action of the popsicles resulted in
a permanent loss of fat cells in the
subjectsÕ cheeks.
Unlike liposuction, which requires
significant healing time, there is virtually no downtime for cool sculpting patients. Each targeted area
requires a single one-hour treatment. Patients generally remain fully
clothed and are able to relax, read,
catch up on e-mail or listen to music in a comfortable reclining exam
chair while the treatment is done.
Then itÕ s back to work, home, running
errands or meeting up with friends.
CoolContour patients also are
safe from the risk of the rough or
pocked look which can result from
liposuction, which damages the
structure of underlying fat cells
and skin tissue during the removal
process. The CoolContour look, by
contrast, is smooth and sculpted.
CoolContour clients see noteworthy
results in just 30 days and an amazing transformation by the 10-week
mark. Ò Everybody wants to look their
best, and this is a great way to do it.
ItÕ s noninvasive and affordable. ItÕ s an
adjunct to a good healthy lifestyle,Ó
commented Dr. Salgia. Ò I was just
looking at 30-day photos of a male client in his thirties who had his abdomen
and love handles done. He already
looks great, and he feels great. In eight
weeks, he will look even better!Ó CoolContour success stories come from all
walks of life and all age groups. Retired professors, stay-at-home moms,
real estate agents, IT specialists, chiropractic doctors, and dentists are
among the dozens of satisfied clients
of the Fairlawn clinic.
Cool sculpting has been cleared
by the Food and Drug Administration for fat reduction, but it is not a
weight-loss procedure. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, cool sculpting
is not a solution for people who are
obese. It is, however, an attractive
non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Good candidates have noticeable bulges in certain areas
they want to get rid of for good. Ò I
think that people will definitely see
results if they want to fit into that
dress or look better on the beach.
ItÕ s a great way to go,Ó said Dr. Salgia. Ò WeÕ re living longer, and 40 is
like the new 30 or 25. So why not
look all that healthier and roll the
clock back a little?Ó
The CoolContour Clinic offers prospective patients a complimentary
consultation to determine if a person is a good candidate and to
create an individualized treatment
plan based on the individualÕ s
body, goals and budget. The CoolContour Clinic offers an 18-month
interest-free payment program
though its partner Care Credit, as
well as volume discount packages
for clients who are targeting fat in
multiple areas.

Shamp also said hiking is a family favorite, as are trips to the Akron and Cleveland
zoos and county fairs.
“There are so many great camps for all
age levels in our area,’’ she said. “I signed
my kids up for Camp Christopher’s Day
Camp this summer, and I have other
friends who have chosen many of the different camps that Old Trail offers, and a
couple that have signed up for the Crown
Point Ecology camp.”
Hughes’ family will visit Cedar Point at

“We also have the Akron and Cleveland

Hughes said giving back imparts meaning to summer vacation.
“Every summer my family volunteers

said. “Our kids absolutely love it. I think
it is their absolute favorite place to be
during the summer. My husband and kids
along with our dear friends always cook
a pancake breakfast for the entire camp
the last day. It gets better every year. It is
our vacation.”
Shamp induces her children to go for
walks, bike through the Metroparks and,
if a parent has a toddler, set up dates with
friends at one of the area parks.
“It keeps the kids happy and the moms
are able to get out and socialize as well,’’
she said. “There are also some great web
sites for moms that have calendars of different activities.”
Armed with these suggestions from
moms creatively handling their children’s
summer doldrums, the season should be
a breeze. Yet there is one more important
ingredient to a successful summer:
“I think if you seem happy, they will
be happier,’’ Hughes said. “Kids feed off
of their parents. Be creative, be silly and
make memories.’’ ∞

Revere junior writes about his beloved Browns
by Zach Jones
Dawg Pound Daily is a fan site devoted to – you guessed it – northeast
Ohio’s beloved Cleveland Browns. The
website features year-round stories that
include recaps of recent Browns’ games
during the season, and continue with
off-season roster moves after the NFL
has concluded. Its staff comprises several
Cleveland area writers and editors, one
of whom happens to be Cole McKee, a
Revere High School junior.
As part of the FanSided network of
300 fan-based websites, each devoted
to a different aspect of fandom, Dawg
Pound Daily acts a voice for fans of the
brown and orange. The growing FanSided network falls under the Sports
Illustrated media umbrella, with content
that occasionally appears on its parent
company’s site.
“I started writing for the Dawg Pound
Daily in late March, helping out with
draft coverage, writing draft profiles,
covering trade rumors, all related to the
draft,” McKee said.
His draft profile of prospect Davante
Parker recently was featured on the webiste’s home page. As the Browns draw
closer to the start of summer workouts,
McKee hopes to keep a close eye on the
team’s activities.
“We at FanSided can use media passes
to attend all press events, so perhaps a
visit to Browns’ training camp is in the
future,” McKee said.

When McKee is not contributing to
Dawg Pound Daily, he is doing his best
to juggle school, homework and extracurricular activities.
“Between work for the Lantern (Revere’s student newspaper), academics,
writing for the Dawg Pound Daily and
track practice, I have very little free
time,” he said. “It’s great, though; I love
every second of my current busy schedule. I love writing, so it does not really
feel like work.”
While the Revere sophomore is enjoying his time as a journalist, he is not
looking to pursue writing as a career
path. Instead, McKee would like to serve
his country through the U.S. Armed
Forces.
“I hope [for] an appointment to the
United States Naval Academy and eventually become a United States Marine,
following in my father’s footsteps,” he
said.

The Century Homes of Bath
The Moore House
The Kucharski Home
Editor’s Note: The Century Homes Committee of the Bath Township Historical Society
(BTHS) is recognizing the “Century Homes”
in Bath. Each month, a century home is
selected for a narrative and photographic
exhibit at the Bath Museum. Historical
society members are undertaking this project
for Bath’s 2018 Bicentennial. They hope to
recognize all of the century homes in Bath.
BTHS member Libby Bauman provided
this month’s story.
Oliver Moore was a relatively early
settler to the township, coming to Bath
in the mid-1850s. Moore was born in
Massachusetts in 1811. He married Ann
Rockwell in 1835 in Portage County,
Ohio. They lived in Franklin, Portage
County, in 1850. By 1850, they had
three sons, Lecester, Lewis, and Roswell.
The 1859 tax record shows that Moore
owned 85.4 acres of Lot 1 in Bath. This
land was previously owned by Warren
Merchant and had a frame house and
barn.
If the Moore name sounds familiar
to current Bath residents, it is because
Oliver donated money toward the construction of a Methodist chapel north
of the Shaw Cemetery property in Bath.
The chapel was built in 1869 and became
known as Moore’s Chapel. Over time,
the cemetery became known as Moore’s
Chapel Cemetery. Although the chapel
was dismantled in 1912, the Moore’s
Chapel Cemetery name remains today.
The 1860 census for Bath shows the
Moore family on this farm: Oliver (49),
Ann (47), Lecester (22), Lewis (21), and
Roswell (17).
These men were at the prime of their
young adult lives when the War Between
the States began. Many of the men who
left their homes in this rural community
to serve never returned and many came
home wounded or disabled.
The Moores suffered tremendously
during this decade.
In August 1862, Oliver C. Moore,
age 51, is on a list of wagonmasters at
the National Archives, who served the

Union during the Civil War.
Civilian wagonmasters were hired by
the Army to transport food, guns, ammunition and other essential supplies
to the troops. Driving supply wagons
through a war zone was a dangerous
challenge but also a lucrative opportunity. Moore served until June 1865.
He was wounded in battle in 1863.
The 1890 Veterans Schedule details the
injury: “ankle broken and foot smashed
and toe cut off.”
Lecester O. Moore enlisted and served
as a captain, according to the Peninsula
Civil War Roundtable and the GAR
Museum.
Lewis A. Moore enlisted but later
went AWOL and was dishonorably
discharged. He headed west and was in
Washington Territory in the late 1870s,
reportedly ending up in Seattle, where
he died in 1921.
Roswell P. Moore, Oliver and Ann’s
youngest son, enlisted in March 1864
with Company I of the Independent
Sharpshooters. He was wounded on June
8, 1864, and transferred to Company G
of the 60th Ohio Infantry on February
24, 1865. He lived in poor health after
the war and died on August 14, 1870.
The cause of death was a wound received
in the Army.
Ann Rockwell Moore died April 6,
1864. Her husband and sons were serving their country when she died. She is
buried at Osborn Corners Cemetery.
After the war, Oliver Moore married
Emily Hopkins, the daughter of Benjamin and Betsey Hopkins of Kent, in
June 1868. Two months later, his son
Lecester married Mary Etta Longfellow.
Mary Etta had lived down the road with
the Stoten Hale family since she was a
child.
This circa 1870 century home was built
on Oliver Moore’s property for one of the
newly married couples as they moved
forward with their lives.
The 1870 census shows the Moore
families: Lecester O. (32), Mary (27),
and Stella (6 1/2), next to Oliver (59),
Emily (61), and Roswell (28).
In 1870, an agricultural census was
taken. It showed that the Oliver Moore
farm had 79 improved acres and 15
unimproved acres, with three horses,
two milk cows and 86 sheep. Lecester
Moore’s farm had 69 acres of improved
land, two acres of unimproved land,
one milk cow and 56 sheep. By 1870, it
is clear that they had created two separate farms on this
land. Oliver Moore
d ied September
2, 1892, and was
buried in Osborn
Corners Cemetery.

farms with two sets of buildings.
Bert and Stella Woodruff remained on
her grandfather’s and father’s farm for
several more decades. By 1940, when
they were 70 years old, they had moved
to Medina.
This century home was the newer of
the two farmhouses that once stood on
this property. The fate of the original
Moore home is unknown. This home
originally was approximately 16 by
24 feet. Additions have been built over
the years.
T he current homeow ner, Br uce
Kucharski, told of a visitor that stopped
by named Jim Farmer, who told him he
was born in this home. Farmer was born
on May 30, 1926, to Garl Nicholas and
Rosa Holderfield Farmer.
He showed the Kucharskis where
the barn used to be on their property
and explained that he was fairly young
and didn’t recall details of the house,
but it had several additions since his
childhood.
The next owner that could be found
was C. Coffman in 1937. He bought this
house with 18.58 acres of land. This may
have been Charles Coffman, who lived
in Wayne County in 1935 and moved to
Copley by 1940.
J.B. Allman purchased the property
in 1938. This may be John Benjamin
Allman, son of John W. and Emma
Bennage Allman.
In 1940, the property transferred to
C.S. Dressler. Cloyd S. Dressler and his
wife Ruth both worked at B.F. Goodrich
in Akron. They married in 1931 and
lived in Bath until Cloyd’s death in 1959.
Property records show that this house
was transferred to R.S. Dressler (Ruth)
in 1961 then to R.M. McClellan on the
same day in 1961.
Bath directories give a glimpse of
several families who have called this
home: Mary Wilson, Richard Arnold,
James Cox, Louis Provenzano, and
Leonard and Joanne Rich. The Kucharskis purchased this century home from
the Richs in 2006.
Country View Estates was developed
on this land in 1970. The original
farmhouse was surveyed and is now WS

the home were constructed in the late

Imagine nearly 150 years ago when
almost 150 sheep roamed the rolling
property as families struggled to go
on with their lives after a very difficult
period in history. This home was built
with hope for the future, and that hope
remains standing today. ∞

GARDENS/OUTDOORS
Succulents land
in fairy gardens
by Kathie VanDevere
Container gardens and fairy gardens have become very popular lately. The plants and accessories used for these interpretive
creations are found in very large displays at our local nurseries,
but also in our grocery stores. Succulents are among the most
popular plants used for these personally created mini-gardens.
Recently, one label attracted my eye when the plant was
labeled “houseleek” because the plant did not look at all like a
leek. Leeks are members of the onion family, used for generations for a variety of culinary delights. A little horticultural
sleuthing taught me that houseleek is an English name for
a common succulent that was grown on the roofs of houses
believed to avert lightening strikes. We know this plant as
hens and chicks, a species of sempervivum with nearly 400
named varieties. In Latin, the language used for naming plants,
“semper” means always and “vivus” means living, because this
perennial plant keeps its leaves in winter and grows even in
difficult circumstances.
These plants are not known for their flowers, but the form and
color of the rosette-leaves and their method of self-propagating
with small rosettes encircling the core. The leaves are thick and
filled with water, allowing them to live on sunny rocks in the
subalpine and alpine mountains across southern Europe. They
are also found throughout the mountainous areas of southeastern Asia and the northeastern area of the Sahara Desert.
Sempervirens are not sensitive to frost, which makes them a
popular garden plant in northeastern Ohio. Hens and chicks
prefer to keep their roots from becoming too wet or soggy,
therefore dry, sandy and well-drained soil is best. Unless the
sun is particularly intense, watering about once to twice per
week is sufficient.
Sempervirens grow easily in rock crevices, cracks in concrete,
terra cotta pots and roof shingles. Any place the roots can get
good drainage and the rosettes have surface support over time,
a small colony will develop. Is it no wonder that houseleeks
grew on the roofs of houses?
Haworthias, another small succulent that forms rosettes of
leaves from 1.5 inches to 12 inches in diameter are frequently
used in miniature dish gardens. Native of South Africa, they
thrive in low light or semi-shade conditions. They, too, prefer
well-drained sandy soil or rocky areas. Some species like haworthia maxima and haworthia truncata can be adapted to tolerate
full sun and also favor extremely well-drained soil. Most of the
common species are tolerant of a variety of watering routines.
Haworthia rosettes are usually stem-less with flowers that
can reach up to 20 inches tall. Most species have firm, tough,
fleshy leaves, usually dark green in color. Haworthia reproduce
either through seed and/or budding, or offsets. Pups are easily
removed to yield new plants once a substantial root system has
developed on the offshoot.
There are several excellent books on the subject. The most
prolific writer is Californian Debra Lee Baldwin, who began
in 2007 with “Designing with Succulents.” Her latest book,
“Succulents Simplified” does just that. ∞

SummerIsHere…
andsois“PoisonIvy”
byGeorgannA.Poulos,M.D.
After a long winter and short spring in
northeast Ohio, we are all anxious to get
out and enjoy the warmer weather. Outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping
and gardening, are what make summer a
favorite time of the year. These activities
also increase our exposure to poison ivy,
poison oak and poison sumac dermatitis,
which can spoil some of the fun.
Poison iv y dermatitis is one of the
most common causes of allergic contact
Georgann A
dermatitis. The skin eruption typically
Poulos, M.D.
appears 48 hours after exposure to the
Board-Certified
plant oil called “urushiol.” The reaction
Dermatologist
does not happen with your first exposure.
It occurs after your immune system has been “sensitized” or
primed. Often the plant brushes up again the skin and your
fingers transfer the urushiol to other parts of the body without
even knowing it.
Signs and Symptoms
Severe itching is usually the first symptom of poison ivy
dermatitis. The itching is then followed by a rash, which can
involve blisters of various sizes. Often the rash appears in lines
as “streaks” on the body where the plant oil brushed against
the skin.
Prevention & Treatment
Avoiding plants with “leaves of 3” is the best prevention.
If you are susceptible to poison ivy dermatitis, you want to
avoid touching clothing, tools and even pets that have come
in contact with the plant. If you have a known exposure, wash
the exposed area with water as soon as possible (preferably
within five minutes).
If the rash and symptoms are mild, over-the-counter antihistamine pills taken by mouth may help. Calamine or hydrocortisone
creams can also alleviate the discomfort. If the skin eruption is
more extensive or you are unsure of the diagnosis, seek the care
of a Board Certified Dermatologist for a prescription cream as
early as possible. In very severe cases, oral pills can be used
to calm down the immune reaction. If the rash causes swelling
of your eyelids or if you have trouble breathing, immediately go
to the nearest emergency room.
Our time to enjoy the beautiful weather is short, so don’t let
poison ivy ruin your outdoor summer fun.

OneOfTheBiggestRetireeInvestingMistakes-
FocusingOnYieldRatherThanTotalReturn
byKevinKroskey,CFP®,MBA
It is common that someone approaching
retirement starts focusing on principal preservation. In fact, it often seems that retirees
swear allegiance to a commandment: “Thou
shall not invade thy principal.” This mindset
causes a focus on income-oriented investments rather than focusing on the total
return – income plus growth – that can be
expected from a portfolio. For a multitude of
reasons, this income focus is shortsighted
and inefficient.
The traditional appeal of yield stems from
often unconscious behavioral and economic
biases. Investors prefer yield because it is
easily noticeable and believed to be more reliable; whereas, growth is more ambiguous and
uncertain. For stocks, there is the economic
belief that stocks paying high dividends are
less risky because they offer a regular stream
of payments to investors. However, dividend
payments are not created out of thin air, nor
guaranteed. They flow from a company’s earnings, which are impacted by economic forces
and are reflected in the current stock price.
Many companies, for instance, had to reduce
or eliminate dividend payments through the
economic shocks of 2008.
If a company has accumulated excess cash
after reinvesting for its operations and setting
aside for reserves, it essentially has two options. One, pay the cash to its shareholders as
a dividend. Or two, repurchase its shares. No
matter which option the company chooses,
its investors fare the same, ignoring taxes.
For example, suppose that a company
paid out 5% of its share price as a dividend.
A shareholder who has $100 worth of stock
would have $95 of stock and $5 of cash. Now
suppose that the company instead decided
to repurchase 5% of its outstanding shares.
If our $100 shareholder were to sell 5% of

his shares, he would again be left with $95

Holding a portfolio that emphasizes dividend-paying stocks may force significant
tradeoffs related to diversification and
expected returns. For example, a global
dividend-focused portfolio would exclude
35%-40% of stocks that pay no dividends,
resulting in lower diversification. In addition,
the number of U.S. and international firms
that pay dividends is shrinking from 71% of
the market in 1991 to 61% in 2012.
Holding only dividend-paying stocks may
also affect investors’ ability to pursue higher
expected returns. Global portfolios holding
only dividend-paying stocks exclude about
47% of the available small cap stock universe,
which historically has offered higher expected
returns than large cap stocks.
As for fixed income, reaching for yield involves either going into longer maturities or
into lower credit quality instruments. Longer
maturities will suffer the most in a rising interest rate environment and lower credit quality
investments become more equity-like than
bond-like, especially in times of market stress.
Finally, as it relates to meeting retirement
cash flows, living solely off yield is restrictive and nearly impossible today. Yields on
higher-quality bonds are in the 1-3% range,
and the yield on the S&P 500 is less than 2%.
Assuming a $1M portfolio, you can produce
roughly $20K in income from these, and this
income level fluctuates over time. Do you want
to reduce your lifestyle because the yield on
your investments has gone down? Alternatively, would you rather have a total return
approach, a more optimal portfolio and more
consistent spending throughout retirement?
Total Return = Yield + Growth
“More money has been lost reaching
for yield than at the barrel of a gun.”
-Warren Buffett
Focusing on income-oriented investments
can result in these and other unintended consequences in a portfolio. For a retiree using a
total return approach, once the retirement plan
cash flows have been clearly identified and the
overall allocation decision has been made to
match these cash flows, while considering total
portfolio risk and expected return, the income
produced becomes a byproduct. Normal
pruning to the portfolio can then raise cash
flows to meet retirement needs with great flexibility and simultaneous rebalance the portfolio
to the desired allocation.
