Dear Villagers, Village organizations are gearing up, planning all manner of activities and tasks for 2015, as you will learn over the coming months from the pages of The Pink Sheet. We are fortunate to have such a handy newsletter to let one another know what events and activities are in the works and to encourage everyone’s participation. Many new residents may wonder about this newsy thing called The Pink Sheet. Where did it come from? How does it all work? The Pink Sheet began in 1947 as an outgrowth of the elementary school’s Mothers Club, the forerunner of The Community Club. The earliest issues were brief and printed on white paper, but members felt that a more eye-catching color was needed since the slim newsletter often was thrown out with junk mail. Pink was chosen simply because it was the least expensive color. In the early days, Village organizations would place notices for the newsletter in THE PINK SHEET DRAWER, the rightmost drawer in the credenza at Town Hall. The editors would organize items, compose the pages and run off copies of each page on a duplicating machine, a mimeograph machine, and lastly a modern copier. Club members would gather at The Community House to walk around tables collating the stacks of pages and stapling the newsletter by hand. This fondly remembered social activity was called “pulling The Pink Sheet.” Today, the pages are computer generated in Word or Publisher. Notices submitted as emails or full pages are emailed to the editor who organizes the Village news, while Advertising Editor Becky Burrington makes up the advertising section. All content is emailed to the printer who delivers the traditional hard copy to the Gates Mills post office to be sent to all residents free of charge as bulk mail. Villagers who have moved away keep up with local news by reading an online color version of the newsletter (found at www.gatesmillspinksheet.com) or by ordering a subscription for $28.00 annually (Ordering information always is on the last page.). The Pink Sheet enjoys a body of loyal advertisers. All commercial ads require two references from Gates Mills residents before they are included. The ads are a great way to find a service provider. If you are pleased with someone’s work or service, recommend advertising with The Pink Sheet. Advertising information is found on The Pink Sheet’s website, on the back cover of this newsletter, and in THE PINK SHEET DRAWER at Town Hall. Years ago, The Pink Sheet had many more pages of ads that generated funds for Community Club projects for the Village. The Community Club hopes residents can promote advertising to generate more revenue. To place an ad, advertisers need to submit 3 items by the deadline of the 20th of the month: 1. the ad: snail mailed or emailed (gmpinksheet@aol.com), 2. payment: cash, check, or PayPal (our PayPal account: gmpinksheet@aol.com), 3. a contract listing 2 village references which can be downloaded from the website and is available in THE PINK SHEET DRAWER. The sizes of the ads are described on the back page of every issue. Personal ads on the inside back cover do not require references. All ads must be prepaid as there is no billing. Not only is The Pink Sheet our Village newsletter, it chronicles Village activities and narrates our story. The archived copies of The Pink Sheet stored in The Community Club room at The Community House and at our branch library offer a heartwarming glimpse of Gates Mills through the years. Thank you to everyone who, over the years, has helped produce our newsletter—especially all the former editors who were key in preserving our collective history.

Thomas Robinson, Chief Office: 440-423-1580 email: firechief@gatesmillsvillage.com THINK SPRING! As I write this month’s article, it’s minus 10 degrees outside. But as we all know, spring is coming! March and springtime in general is a busy time when it comes to Emergency Preparedness. March 1st through the 7th is National Severe Weather Week. On March 4, 2015 at 9:50 am there will be a Statewide Tornado Drill. This drill will include the use of warning sirens, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and our local CODE RED notification system. To enroll, go to the village website at www.gatesmillsvillage.com and click on the CODE RED link. If you have questions or need assistance signing up please call the Town Hall at 440-423-4405 and speak to our Police and Town Hall Coordinators, Charlene or Dorothy. Don’t forget to change your clocks, Smoke alarm, and Carbon Monoxide alarm batteries on Sunday March 8, 2015. According to the National Fire Protection Association, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. If you don’t have working smoke alarms please contact me by phone or email. The fire department has a smoke alarm program available to all Gates Mills residents. March 16th through 20th is Flood Safety Awareness Week. Remember, “Turn Around – Don’t Drown”. Do not walk or drive through a flooded area. Six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet and two feet of moving water can move a car! As a reminder to all of our residents, please visit the Village website: www.gatesmillsvillage.com often. New information is added on a regular basis as well as articles and links to help keep you and your family safe. Until the next Pink Sheet… Chief P. Thomas Robinson 1470 Chagr in River Road · Gat es Mills · Ohio · 44040 9703 Gates Mills Police Department Proud to Serve…Sworn to Protect From Your Police Department: With the tax season upon us, please be conscious of Tax identity theft during this time and do not become a victim. Tax identity theft is one of the fastest growing forms of identity theft in the U.S. Tax identity theft occurs when someone uses your Social Security Number (SSN) to file a tax return claiming a fraudulent refund. Below are some helpful tips for avoiding tax identity theft: File your tax return early in the season. Use a secure internet connection if you file electronically, or mail your tax return directly from the post office. Protect your personal financial information at home and on your computer. Shred copies of your tax return, drafts, or calculation sheets you no longer need. Know the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) won’t contact you by email, text or social media. If the IRS needs information, it will contact you by mail. Check your Social Security Administration earnings statements annually. Only provide your SSN when YOU initiate the contact or you are sure who you know is asking. Research a tax preparer thoroughly before you hand over personal information. If your SSN has been compromised, contact the IRS Identity Theft Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490. Check your credit report annually. A reminder, please lock all doors as we have had several reports of suspicious footprints around residences. Please report any suspicious activity to the police department.

Gates Mills Land Conservancy A ccredited by the National Land Trust Alliance 2014 LTA All-volunteer Land Trust of the Year March 2015 It Makes SENSE (and CENTS!) to Recycle Villagers have been recycling for quite a few years, using the bins behind the Community House. Although the Village manages these bins, proceeds have graciously been donated to Gates Mills Land Conservancy’s operating fund. Now, thanks to the efforts of Dave Biggert, our Service Director, and River Valley Paper Company, recycling in Gates Mills makes more SENSE…and CENTS. In addition to accepting newspaper, computer paper and such, River Valley Paper Company takes phone books, brown paper bags, both hard and soft bound books, magazines and catalogs. And something totally new to Gates Mills, there will now be a separate bin for you to recycle your CARDBOARD! (Please, no plastic, Styrofoam, glass, metal, trash or aluminum.) How does this make more CENTS? The more we recycle, the more money we earn. For example, in January, we earned $15/ton for up to 2500 pounds of recyclables. And the amount goes up, as high as $30/pound for over 7500 pounds if we recycle more. So, please use these bins, you will support your community and the money earned stays entirely in our community. Our 2015 Membership Campaign Starts Now! Check your mailbox soon to find out how you can become a 2015 member of Gates Mills Land Conservancy. We need your support for our day-to-day operations, such as rent, postage, and insurance. Levy dollars can only be used for the purchase or stewardship of land.

Gratitude Journaling Class: Keeping a daily journal of things that you are thankful for is a lifechanging experience. By noticing and focusing on the good things in your life, bad things lose their effect, and you end up with a much happier outlook on life. Judith Eugene of The Loving Hands Group will be our teacher. Gratitude journaling can help to elevate mood, increase optimism, alleviate depression, and cope with sadness. Your group will learn how to start a journal, what to include, and all of the ways that gratitude journaling can benefit them. We will also have a short discussion about Mindfulness Meditation, as it ties into observing and finding things to be grateful for in the world around us. A little bit about Judith Eugene…. Judith is a licensed Architect and an Interior Decorator with 25 years of experience, graduating with honors from Kent State University. She is a certified yoga instructor with specialized senior adult training through the Yoga Fit training program, and she is also a Reiki Master Teacher, trained in the Usui Reiki system.

By Susie Thorpe ANN H. MISSAL Ann was born on December 10, 1913, in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. She had brothers who served in the Army and were always silent about their service to their little sister. Ann grew up near the lighthouse, and in those days, she would hop from large wet rock to rock to get out to the lighthouse and back with no adults. Ann graduated from St. Vincent's Charity Hospital and was a nurse in Chicago while her husband was finishing his medical residency in Cleveland. Ann had two children, a deceased daughter, Ann Margaret, and a son, Paul John. Paul graduated from the Institute of Art in Cleveland and received his Master's from Yale. He painted the picture of God for his mother that hangs in her home. Ann wants everyone to see it. Ann does many such good works including giving ten thousand dollars to the village of Gates Mills. Ann still drives and lives in her own home. She believes in doing as many good and peaceful things as she can while she can. She is God's vision of goodness on earth. Gates Mills has been blessed to have her. Please send submissions on births, deaths, weddings and other news to share with fellow Villagers to Susie Thorpe at SueThorpe695@yahoo.com or call 423-4743. Tired of the snow, ice and deep freeze? Monthly Program and Lunch “Through the Eyes of the Artist” March 10 - 10:30 at ‘The Barn’ The perfect antidote for cabin fever is a visual trip to the European countryside. A fascinating program is planned for our first meeting of 2015. ‘Through the Eyes of the Artist”, presented by Felicia Zavarella Stadleman, will explore the life and paintings of Dutch artist Vincent Willem van Gogh who was a major Post-Impressionist painter. Van Gogh’s work was notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color. He had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. Felicia is an exciting speaker who will bring this artist and his works to life.

T HESE 7 F OODS H IDE MASSIVE S UGAR It’s hard to avoid sugar when many common foods secretly contain loads of it. You know that eating an excess of sugar will derail your fitness progress and quickly lead to an increase in body fat, but recent studies are proving that sugar is much more dangerous than we once thought. Your risk of heart attack doubles when 20 percent or more of your calories come from sugar, according to a new study published in JAMA International Medicine. That is no joke! So with obesity and heart disease on the line, let’s uncover the 7 common foods that you didn’t know contain sugar. 1. Fruit Yogurt Yogurt is packaged and marketed as a diet food for women, which is outrageous. The pretty little packages may be low in fat, but just one serving contains a whopping 19 grams of sugar. 2. Pasta Sauce This one may come as a surprise, since pasta sauce is considered to be a savory food, but alas, it has loads of sugar hiding in it. For every half a cup of store bought pasta sauce you’re ingesting 12 grams of sugar. 3. Agave Nectar Many think of agave nectar as a free pass, since it has been so cleverly marketed as a health food, but sadly this sweetener is just as dangerous as white sugar. Agave nectar is 85% fructose. 4. Dried Fruit Yes, even our fruit isn’t safe anymore. Most companies are adding extra sugar in with their dried fruit, making it as sweet as candy. Just 1/3 of a cup contains 24 grams of sugar. 5. Granola Bars It may boast wholesome, whole grains on the package, but your favorite granola bar is hiding a sickly sweet secret. The average packaged granola bar contains 12 grams of sugar. 6. Energy Drinks When you need an afternoon pick-me-up, think twice before reaching for that energy drink. Mega energy drinks contain up to 83 grams of sugar. 7. BBQ Sauce There’s a reason that those BBQ chicken wings are finger licking goodall that sugar it’s hiding. A 2 Tablespoon serving will set you back 13 grams of sugar. Start eliminating the sugar-packed foods in your diet today. Your body and your heart will both be in better shape for it. And let’s not forget the place that a challenging, consistent exercise program has in your quest for good health and a fit physique. My programs are specially designed to blast fat and to build muscle in all the right places. Call or email me today to get started on a fat loss program that really works. !! MARCH 2015 WHEN TAKING IN ANIMALS BECOMES HOARDING Everyone knows an animal lover. About 60% of all households have at least one pet--usually no more than a couple of dogs or cats. But sometimes people take in more animals than this. How many animals are too many to have? From a non-legal standpoint, it’s when the people in the home cannot adequately manage the health and welfare of each animal in their care. For some this is as few as one, and for others this is many more. There are different types of animal hoarders. These include the overwhelmed caregiver, the rescuer hoarder, and the exploiter hoarder. Often, hoarders do not believe that they are hoarding; they do not recognize that they are harming their animals. Some even incorporate as a nonprofit to help them raise money to support the animals in their care, yet they still are unable to maintain the standards of care required for the animals to live well in their environment. Hoarders do not adopt out many of their animals and “collect” even more animals. Stranger still are those people who defend animal hoarders as saviors, despite overwhelming evidence that the animals in their care are suffering. If you suspect that you or someone you know is hoarding, this will likely be a bigger problem than you can manage on your own. You initially may ask an animal care professional, such as a veterinary technician or veterinarian, whether the suspected hoarder has too many animals and whether the animals are suffering. If the answer is yes, you likely will need to involve many different professionals such as law enforcement, animal wardens, animal shelter(s), veterinarians, lawyers, photographers, first responders (i.e. fire and ambulance), and mental health professionals. For some communities, laws are in place regarding how many kinds of pets each homeowner may have. The Cuyahoga County Board of Health and the Gates Mills websites have no information about the maximum numbers of animals we may have, but they do cite laws about rabies vaccination and laws specific to dogs (e.g. leash laws). In Mayfield Heights, there may not be more than two of any one species in their household. In my household, we know we have reached our limit and are not planning on taking in any more animals. It is unlikely that we will ever become hoarders. Do you or someone you know need help with their pet’s care? We’d love to help them.
