Farnam Foundation elated to now own fabled haunted house
by Robert Rozboril
Farnam Manor in Richfield has a long,
storied history punctuated by tales of the
supernatural.
Kathleen Magner formed a foundation
with her husband, Tim, about 10 years ago
with the intent of refurbishing the house
and turning it into a museum. Since leasing the property, the foundation has hosted
guided lantern tours and historical suppers
over the years.
The Magners were thrilled this year to
finally purchase the fabled property, which
is featured in books such as “Ohio’s Top 10
Kathy and Tom
Magner have
been restoring
Farnam Manor
for about a
decade and now,
with financial
relief, feel they
will be able to
continue. Photo
by N. Mazak
Most Haunted Places” and “Ohio’s Historic
Haunts: Investigating the Paranormal in
the Buckeye State.”
Before making an offer in January, they
had to vacate the 7,000-square-foot house
at 4223 Brecksville Rd. With a little help
from an Israeli investor, the foundation
purchased the manor from Third Federal
Savings & Loan Association of Cleveland
for $395,000. Magner said the investor
chose to remain anonymous, and the foundation intends to repay him.
“This house represents history throughout the ages,” said Kathleen. “There are a
lot of legends attached to the house that
date back to the Farnams.”
The land was originally gifted to John
Farnam in 1812 for his service as a special
agent under General George Washington
during the Revolutionary War. Farnam’s
son, Everett, built the house in 1834.
Everett, a somewhat eccentric character
by many accounts, came to be known as
Lord Farnam.
In 1858, Lord Farnam’s 8-year-old daughter, Emily, fell into a well near the house and
drowned. She is said to be one of several
dozen spirits haunting the property.
“The house has a stigma of being haunted
because of what happened to little Emily,”
Kathleen said. “But we’ve learned that
haunted doesn’t necessarily mean something evil. We look at the second definition
of haunted in the dictionary, which deals
with emotion. The house evokes a variety
of emotions.”
She hopes most visitors experience positive emotions rather than fearful ones during guided lantern tours of the property.
The tours, which the foundation has hosted
for a number of years, will resume in Occontinued on next page

Annual Picket Fence Art Show set for Farnam Manor
The 15th annual Picket Fence Art Show,
sponsored by the Richfield Historical Society and the Richfield-Hinckley Art Group,
will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday,
Aug. 6, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sunday,
Aug. 7, from 12-4 p.m. at Farnam Manor,
4223 Brecksville Rd., Richfield.
The event originated in the 1950s with
Kitte Kirk Lyons. Her parents, Theo and
Ane Marie Kirk, hosted a weekly art group
at their home and restaurant, then known
as the Danish Smorgasbord. The group
organized the original outdoor Picket
Fence Art Show, where framed art hung
on a snow fence.
In 2002, the historical society rounded up
Richfield artists for a show in anticipation
of the 2003 Ohio Bicentennial. Named the
“Screen Door Art Show,” it was held at the
Richfield Fellowship Hall from 2002-2006.
The next year, the Farnam Foundation, under the direction of Kathy and Tim Magner,
opened the manor doors and allowed the
historical society an opportunity to return
the show to its original name and roots.
The art show remains free to the public.
A Richfield connection, past or present, is
necessary to participate as an artist. Original
framed art, ceramics, photography, jewelry
and fine crafts will be offered for sale.
An Aug. 5 Patrons’ Night, offering bever-
ages, appetizers, an authentic Danish smorgasbord, desserts and live music, will allow
visitors to get a special preview of the show
and meet some of the artists from 4-7 p.m.
Cost is $15 per person. Reservations are
required. To make a reservation or become
a participating artist, call 330-659-0336 or
330-659-4750. Payment, a check made out
to the “Richfield Historical Society,” should
be sent to Richfield Historical Society,
P.O. Box 215, Richfield 44286. Deadline
is Aug. 1. ∞
Farnam Foundation continued
tober, though no exact dates have been set.
“It’s a party,” Magner said. “It’s a tribute
to people who have passed on. We’ve encountered Emily many times and been told
that as many as 65 spirits are present at any
given time.”
The estimated number of spirits is based
on a visit by medium Mary Ann Winkowski, whose life story is the basis for the TV
show “The Ghost Whisperer.”
Magner said paranormal-themed shows
have helped bolster the spooky reputation
of the manor in recent years.
One of the house’s best-known legends
dates to the 1920s, when it was an exclusive speakeasy and possibly a brothel for
aristocrats. Legend has it that a woman who
worked there fell in love with one of the
men who frequented the club. He promised
to marry her only to leave and never return.
Some people have claimed to see a “lady in
white” standing on the porch waiting for
him to come back.
There have been numerous other mysterious happenings reported at the house.
“There are a lot of different ways [the
spirits] let us know they’re nearby,” Magner
said. “Sometimes it’s a cold breeze, or we
hear a little girl giggling, objects move.
These things happen on a regular basis.”
The Richfield Historical Society will hold
its 15th annual Picket Fence Art Show at
the manor Aug. 5-7. ∞

Richfield Community Weekend has a schedule change
by Jacqueline Mitchell
It’s that time of year again, and this time
around, Richfield Community Day is
full of surprises. In its 30th year of BathRichfield Kiwanis Club sponsorship, the
annual event will offer familiar traditions
with some new twists.
Festivities kick off Saturday, Aug. 13,
with a pancake breakfast at the Richfield
Village Fire Department from 8 a.m.noon. The breakfast is sponsored by the
Bath-Richfield Explorers, made up of
Revere High School students who are
interested in a career in firefighting. Richfield police and fire will lead a bike rodeo
in the back parking lot of Richfield Town
Hall from 10 a.m.-noon, complete with an
obstacle course and bike safety tips. The annual safety services open house will be held
at the fire department from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Attendees can close out the day by feasting at the traditional steak fry in Richfield
Woods Park from 4-8 p.m., sponsored by
the Richfield AMVETS Post 176 and Masons of Meridian Sun Lodge 69. Tickets are
$18, and children under 12 can purchase
a hamburger meal for $5.
In a switch from years past, the annual
parade will usher in Sunday activities on
Aug. 14. Community Day previously
stretched across three days, with the parade kicking off festivities on Friday. This
year, event organizers opted for a change
of pace, partly to alleviate traffic concerns
and also to generate more excitement for
Sunday events.
“Moving the parade off of Friday evening
when people are coming home from work
and our streets are closed is definitely a
benefit to the community,” Bath-Richfield
Kiwanis president Joe Campbell told
ScripType Publishing in a March 2016
interview.
The parade assembles at 11:30 a.m. and
leaves Town Hall at noon on Sunday, led by
the Revere marching band, and proceeds

to Richfield Woods Park.
“I’m anticipating a lot more people attending the parade,” Campbell said.
After the parade, a pet show will take
place in the park from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Afterwards, children can get their faces
painted to resemble dogs from 1-3 p.m.
Bands will play on stage in the park
throughout the day as families play games
and participate in activities. Local nonprofits, churches and other organizations will
sponsor the games.
“We’re having 10 new games of skill
and chance where people can win prizes,”
Campbell said, adding that they will be
geared toward everyone from young children to adults.
Old-fashioned field games such as an
egg toss and tug-of-war will take place in
the baseball outfield at 4 p.m. Families can
create lasting memories in a photo booth
and enjoy inflatables, dunk tanks, a petting
zoo and a yoga session for children. Food
and beverages will be sold at the concession
tent all day.
Attendees can embrace their competitive
sides by participating in a string of contests.
The home-baked pie contest will take place
from noon to 2 p.m., followed by a pitching and chipping contest on the soccer field
from 1-6 p.m., a corn hole tournament
on the baseball field at 3 p.m., a zucchini
contest at 3 p.m. and a hula-hoop contest
at 6 p.m.
Richfield Parks and Recreation Director
Ruth Jocek, who schedules most of the
events, said this might be the last year for
the frog jump contest. Van Pedigo, owner
of Richfield Auto Center, has organized
and sponsored the event for 38 years. He
said he would be hanging up his frogcapturing net after this year. The frog
jump contest, will take place in the lower
pavilion from 1-2:30 p.m. Bring your own
jumper or rent a frog.
Kiwanis will raffle off prizes throughout
the day. They will also present an AmTryke
tricycle – a therapeutic tricycle designed for
those with disabilities –to Michael Mami.
The night closes out with the traditional
fireworks show. The cost of fireworks increased from years past, but the show will
still have just as many fireworks. The Village
of Richfield contributed its usual amount
of $5,500, and Kiwanis and other organizations picked up the remainder of the cost. ∞

Village promotes Ellis to lieutenant
Briarwood residents hear more about proposed development
by Sue Serdinak
July 5 village council meeting
Richfield’s handsome new fire truck
was brought to a celebration at the July
5 Richfield Village Council meeting. A
contingent of current and past fire department personnel also arrived in recognition
of a new position created and the swearing
in of Eric Ellis as a shift lieutenant.
Ellis is part of a long family line of
firemen in Richfield, starting with his
great-grandfather, William Ellis Sr., who
was in the township department from
1935-1942. Eric’s grandfather, William
Ellis Jr., served from 1939-1962. Eric’s father, Councilperson Andy Ellis, was in the
department from 1968 to 2010 and served
as assistant fire chief for several years.
Eric Ellis has been a full-time fireman
since 2002. He attained several certifications and has helped with fire training in
the department.
10
The new lieutenant position was created
to allow Lt. Jason Purkey to be a full-time
inspector in the department, a position
that Mayor Bobbie Beshara and Chief
Jason Mihalek requested shortly after
Mihalek was named chief.
The position shifts also involved naming
part-time fire medic Anthony Katzakis as
full time and hiring two part-time medics,
Cody Bennett and John Hovan. Part-time
fire medic Dan Merryman is retiring.
When the fire department staff left
council chambers to celebrate, the
residents of the Briarwood neighborhood
filtered in for a presentation on the history of land transactions and the current
proposal for a new sewer line and development that is planned for the land south
and west of the neighborhood.
Briarwood proposals outlined
Service Director Melanie Baker, Zoning Director Brian Frantz, Law Director
Bill Hanna and Village Engineer Said
Abouabdallah presented their data.
Baker explained that plans for a development south and west of the current
Briarwood neighborhood date to the
1980s. The neighborhood was built in the
township and all of the properties, except
the Whitethorn Circle area, were annexed
to the village in 1984. The 125 acres that
are mostly south of the neighborhood
remained undeveloped. The owner of that
property, Randy Kertesz, provided sewer
and water services to the existing neighborhood through his company Water &
Sewer LLC, but the cost to residents was
considered very high.
The residents asked for relief from the
village. In 2009, the village extended its
water line to the neighborhood, and since
then the residents have asked the village
to extend its sewer line to them.
However, an extension of that line

Bobbie Beshara,

of his family to

Fire Department.
would open the possibility for Kertesz
to access the line for his proposed 125acre development. That land is in the
township. Kertesz has said he will apply
for a Type 2 annexation to the village to
expedite an annexation.
Kertesz has met with the zoning board
and revised his plans from 147 singlefamily units to 153 mixed units. The
potential development would trigger a
modification of the R-3 zoning district.
The zoning code would require that a
conservation district be part of the plan
because of streams and ravines on the
property.
Frantz said the submitted plans showed
homes that were inconsistent with existing homes on the edge of the Briarwood
neighborhood, so the planning commission will address that issue. He said the
village hired a design professional to look
at the existing environmental conditions,
because there would be a large crossing
through a streambed. He said the plan did
not have similar-sized lots near existing
Briarwood homes.
Because of the hilly terrain, the only
access roads from state Route 303 to the
property would be Scanwood Drive and
Whitethorn Circle, which are in the existing development.
In addition to residents hoping for
relief from sewer bills of about $150 per
month, the EPA and the Cuyahoga Valley
National Park would like to see the Water
& Sewer LLC treatment plant on the
banks of Furnace Run Creek dismantled.
Sewer line costs
Baker said that the revised estimated
cost for the village to install the sewer
line to the development is $2 million. She
explained that the assessment for property
owners would be based on five factors,
and the cost per parcel could range from
$6,500 to $25,000. The final assessment
will be figured at the end of the project
based on actual costs. Property owners
will be given the chance to pay the cost
upfront or have it placed on their real
estate tax bill.
The village has budgeted a contribution
of $300,000 to the project and has budgeted money for the extensive legal fees
involved with the annexation and other
details of the development.
Hanna said that the developer is requesting a Type 2 annexation, because
the process is faster and should take
about four months after the petition is
continued on next page

Village Government
July 5 Council Meeting
continued
filed. Hanna said the annexed land should
include all of the contiguous land owned
by that developer.
Hanna said properties in the new development would be part of the village
and the township and would pay inside
millage to both entities. It has not been
determined how the police levies would
apply for the newly annexed property. He
said the law is now being studied.
Residents speak out
Residents in the audience thanked the
village staff for their presentation.
John Nowakowski asked, “Is it accurate
to say that this can’t happen without the
cooperation of the village? Is the village
in the driver’s seat? It appears that the
village is pushing pretty hard to make
this happen.”
Councilperson Mike Lyons responded
that if the situation only involved the
annexation for the development, the
village would not be participating, “but
our residents are paying high bills. We
have no legal obligation to do this.”
“We have an obligation to have as
modern and best-operating sewer system
as possible,’’ Councilperson Rick Hudak
said. “If we do nothing, that sewer plant
is going to need major replacement. That
will be on the shoulders of the current 80
homeowners.”
Nowakowski responded, “We did some
math. The best that anyone would do is
take 8-10 years to break even.” He later
asked if the village has considered repairing the existing sewer plant.
Mike Kreeger of Sawbridge said he is
uneasy about an anticipated heavy traffic
flow. “I’m concerned about how this will
affect the village as a whole and about all
that traffic coming by my living space,”
he said.
Frantz responded that the planning
commission recognizes this concern and
is looking at it very closely.
Jim Koewler questioned the formula for
calculating the assessment fees. He said

that the current residents have existing
collection lines, but the undeveloped lots
do not, so the formula should reflect that.
“We already have pipes but the new
development doesn’t have any pipes,’’
Melinda Stucky said. “The village should
have the upper hand. Without us, that
gentleman [Kertesz] couldn’t have what
he has today. He should pay the $2 million upfront. I think we shouldn’t rush
into this.
“We need something in the development agreement that he can’t clear out
trees.”
Hanna agreed that such a condition
would be appropriate in the agreement.
“I’m not sure that you understand that
we don’t want this land developed,’’ Christine Nowakowski said. “The developer
will be getting a sewer; we’re getting a
giant development in our back yard that
is not up to Richfield standards.”
Residents of Whitethorn Circle said
they would feel the real brunt of the
development. Their properties are in the
township and their roads will be used for
ingress and egress for the development.
“There is no good side for us,’’ Michelle
Reinke said. “A road will go through. We
now have free water and free septic. This
will affect all of the people that live there,
and we will get nothing from it.’’
Lyons agreed, saying, “You’ve characterized it very well. You will have more
traffic. You won’t be required to tie into
sewer and water. You’re a side victim.”
Germain Certic of Sawbridge said that
she is in favor of the project because she
is tired of being held hostage by the high
sewer bills charged by Water & Sewer
LLC. She thanked council for answering
their call for relief.
Miscellaneous
In other business, council approved
alcohol sale at Richfield Woods for the
Amvets and Masons steak fry on Aug. 13
and Community Day on Aug. 14. Council
also approved $10,500 for tents, tables,
chairs and fireworks for Community Day.
Council had the first reading of an ordinance to allow three accessory buildings on
property larger than two acres.
Parks and Recreation Director Ruth
Jocek reported that about 200 people

Planning commission gives Kinross restaurant preliminary go-ahead
by Jon Huff
Breakroom, a new restaurant proposed
for the corner of Kinross Lakes Parkway
and Brecksville Road, is closer to becoming reality after a July 12 meeting
of the Richfield Planning and Zoning
Commission, which gave preliminary
approval for the project.
Dan Barney of the architecture firm
Arkinetics discussed the proposed layout,
saying the design borrowed concepts
from Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie
School of architecture while maintaining
a contemporary feel. The current design
includes a glass cube that will serve as
the building entry, with a mix of fiber
cement siding and an architectural metal
to create visual interest.
“You can envision this thing at night,”
Barney said. “It’s going to be glowing,
kind of defining the point where you
come into the building and creating
visibility to the street.”
The 4,000-square-foot restaurant is
planned to hold around 120 diners inside with a patio overlooking an existing
pond with space for another 50 diners.
Roll-up doors would open the restaurant
to the patio in warm weather. The menu
is still in flux as the project develops,
though restaurant operator Mike Malone
described it as modern American.
“We’re playing with a lot of concepts
right now,” Malone said. “Obviously
with opening being possibly another six
to eight months away, we don’t want to
put anything in stone yet. We’re going
to have a base of a lot of Ohio stuff.
We’re going to use a lot of local farms,
a lot of local meat and focus on a couple
of local craft beers.
“Not all Ohio by any means, but we’re
going to do what we can. We’re going
to be GMO-free (non-genetically modified) for a majority of the menu; if we
can, all of our menu. This is stuff for a
healthier twist around here, to give a
little better choice for lunch, not always
having to get a big plate of fries.”
The building site required a variance
for front yard setback. The Board of
Zoning Appeals authorized the setback
during its June 30 meeting.
“The building is small in relation to
all the other businesses and offices in
the [industrial] park itself,” Barney
R12

Road. Photo by S. Serdinak
said. “For this to thrive, we felt we really needed to get that building pushed
up toward the corner of Kinross and
[Route] 21 as much as we can, because
the life of this building is really going to
depend on the people that are actually
working in the area and also the residents, so we want to get to that corner
so you can see it.’’
Richfield Director of Planning and
Zoning Brian Frantz reminded the
commission that preliminary approval
served to give direction to the project.
The project still needs final approval
before work begins. In a conversation
after the meeting, Frantz said he expects
to see the group return for final approval
in the next two months. ∞

Village Government
Richfield Village Council approves change order for service building
by Chris Collins
July 19 village council meeting
By a unanimous vote, the Richfield
Village Council at the July 19 meeting
authorized an additional appropriation of
$37,180 for the remodeling of the village
service building. Council President Roger
Swan was not present and Vice President
Rich Hudak chaired the meeting.
This change order concerns the $1.1
million project that council approved
on May 3 to renovate the building at
3921 Brecksville Road. Service Director
Melanie Baker noted that the roof, deck
and northeast corner of the building had
deteriorated.
Baker also noted that the $150,000
project to extend the sidewalk north
along Brecksville Road from Route 303
to Hawthorne Drive was underway, along
with other sidewalk replacements and
maintenance.
Mayor Bobbie Beshara thanked the
14
village departments for their efforts to
prepare for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. She estimated that
about 400 delegates and other convention
visitors were staying in Richfield’s hotels
and motels. She authorized the service department to spend up to $5,000 for added
flowers to “make our town look better.”
Beshara said that the Northeast Ohio
Regional Sewer District will be holding
meetings about the Stormwater Management Fee Program at 5:30 p.m. on
August 23 in Peninsula and on Sept. 29 at
Richfield Village Hall. She urged residents
to attend one of these meetings to learn
about various rebates and credits available
to reduce the cost of these fees.
The mayor also noted that John Muni
Jewelers on Brecksville Road was closing
because the owners are retiring. She urged
residents to stop by and say goodbye to
the Munis. “They have contributed to a
lot of community events,” she said.
Planning and Zoning Director Brian
Frantz reported that the Ohio EPA
was drafting a “Covent Not to Sue”
for the Soni property on Congress
Parkway, which will allow the site to be
redeveloped.
During new business, Paul Swan, president of the Richfield Historical Society,
provided an update on the Knopp House
project. He said that the estimated cost
for asbestos abatement is $6,000. Also,
he said there are three cost estimates for
replacing the roof, ranging from $8,000
for conventional shingles, $18,000 for
a slate roof or $24,000 for a metal roof.
The historical society has about $10,000
earmarked for the project.
Beshara said there have been discussions about whether to place the kitchen
in the house on the main floor or in the
basement at its proposed location north
of the historical society. She said, “A lot
of problems have come to light,”
Swan added that the society could ask
volunteers to remove some of the wood
from the building. Councilperson Pat
Healey asked about the form volunteers
would complete, and Councilperson Jim
Kahoe wondered how much it would cost
to pay workers to do the job.
Hudak asked Law Director William
Hanna to, “Look into a solution with the
least amount of risk possible.”
Council discussed the resolution to authorize use of public funds to purchase,
flowers, meals or cash contributions for
the death or illness to current or former
village employees, officials or volunteers.
Councilperson Barbara Lansford expressed concern that, “Our policy doesn’t
seem to have any limits.”
Finance Director Turk said four of six
neighboring communities have similar
policies. “Brecksville has a more specific
and clear process,” he said. Healey said
that larger communities in the area do
not have these types of policies and rely
on contributions by employees and officials. Council took no action on the
resolution.
Council approved a resolution to amend
the zoning code to permit conference centers as a conditional use within an office/
limited industrial district. ∞
Township
Corner
by Trustee
Robert Luther
Hello, Richfield residents.
I hope everyone has had a great summer so far. It seems like it has been an
old-fashioned farm summer. Hot days
with little rain; good for some, not good
for others.
Our road department has been busy
mowing, chipping and doing some ditch
work. The Hawkins Road paving should
be done by the time you read this.
People have been wondering what our
stand is on the proposed annexation. As
always, we oppose all annexation of township property. I personally prefer large
Revere
Superintendent’s
Corner
by Matthew
Montgomery
Last month, I wrote about the work the
Technology Committee had done throughout the 2015-16 school year. It seemed no
sooner had I written about their objectives
than I had exciting news to share.
The board of education unanimously
approved a four-year lease agreement
with Apple on June 28 that will put Apple
Macbook Air computers in the hands
of each teacher and student in grades 7
through 12. This agreement is part of the
district’s 1:1 Initiative Program, meaning
all students will have their own piece of
technology to enhance the educational
experience. Students in the lower grades
who do not have an Apple product will
have a Chromebook.
It’s important to note that this isn’t
about kids being glued to their devices all
homes situated on large properties without
annexation, such as the case in Glencairn.
A study that I read stated that the average family makes close to eight trips
per day in and out of their houses. Let’s
take the Briarwood area, for example.
Eight trips times the number of houses,
say 140, would mean 1,120 cars coming
and going per day.
More than likely, that type of traffic
would trigger a traffic light installation
on Route 303. Imagine traffic stopped
on the 303 hill in the middle of a snowy
day. I don’t think any resident would be
in favor of this traffic nightmare.
The township can’t stop an annexation,
but we will do all we can to oppose it once
a formal petition has been filed.
Best wishes for the rest of your summer. Enjoy Community Day, and catch
up with neighbors and friends before
school starts. ∞
day. That is not what we want at all. This is
about changing how we instruct our kids
to better meet the needs of today’s learner.
The use of these new devices could
change how we use district money, as
we could potentially save on textbook
purchases and printer and copier fees in
the future.
There are many details to work out in
the coming weeks. The district plans to
have teachers obtain their own devices
in August before the school year begins.
They will have time to familiarize themselves with them and plan how they will
be used in classrooms. Students will not

Vandalism in the village might result in increased surveillance
by Chris Collins
Someone extensively damaged the
Carter/Pedigo Story Walk at Richfield
Woods Park on June 28, vandalizing the
16 storyboards displayed on posts positioned along the 1.3-mile trail.
signs and driveways.
In November, someone “girdled” (cut
the bark completely around the circumference of a tree, disrupting circulation)
the 20-foot evergreen in the center of
the village that is decorated each holiday
season. Police speculate that someone was
trying to cut the tree down. Eventually,
the tree will die.
“We’re considering putting up more
surveillance cameras,” said Morgan. The
chief said that police don’t think these
incidents are related, but it is hard to tell
because they are so random, with months
separating each act.
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that vandalism costs local governments about $15 billion each year.
Sandy Turk, finance director for the
Village of Richfield, said the property
insurance premium for the village this
year is $59,752 and includes a $1,000
deductible. The policy covers acts of
vandalism, but for most of the incidents
listed above, except for the tree cutting,
the damage did not meet the deductible.
So the village must pay for repairs out of
the regular budget.
Mayor Bobbie Beshara was saddened
by the damage to the Carter/Pedigo Story
Walk. “It’s pretty heartbreaking that someone would just go in there because they
felt they could get away with it,” she said.
Echoing the police chief, the mayor said
the village plans to take precautionary measures that might include more surveillance
cameras. “When you have these occasions
happening again and again, unfortunately
it’s time to go down that road,” she said.
Beshara also said she doesn’t think the
vandalism problem is any worse in her
village than other communities.
“If anybody knows anything, and they
have heard any rumors, let our police know,”
she said. The Richfield Village Police anonymous tip line is: 330-659-2850. ∞

The Richfield Public Library and the
Richfield Village Parks and Recreation
Department combined forces to create
the trail in 2012. The content of the
storyboards is changed occasionally to
give children more opportunities to use
the trail that combines physical activity
and learning.
Richfield Police Chief Keith Morgan
said the cost of the damage was about
$500 – the original cost of the project
– and he believed the columns and storyboard cases could be repaired. He said
police have no suspects at this time.
This incident is the latest of several acts
of vandalism that have occurred in the
village over the past few years. In 2013,
vandals set fire and destroyed a wooden
replica of a locomotive in one of the
parks. In August 2014, vandals damaged
several tents, cut speaker cables and stole
about $400 worth of beer from vendors
at the annual Richfield Community Days
celebration in Richfield Woods Park. Last
August, vandals struck the same park
again, spray-painting graffiti on several

RNC inspires mayor to beautify the village with ‘patriotic’ flowerpots
by Sheldon Ocker
If any of several thousand attendees to
the Republican National Convention in
Cleveland found themselves in Richfield
Village last month, Mayor Bobbie Beshara
tried to make sure that her little corner
of the world had the proper ambience.
The mayor wanted the intersections
and roadways to display a little color and
a hint of patriotism. To do so, she purchased 90 large pots from Constantine’s
Garden Center and filled them with
petunias in America’s colors.
“I wanted to make sure they were red,
white and blue,” she said.
The RNC wasn’t the mayor’s only inspiration for decorating the town with
flowers (and with American flags along
Route 303). She also said the landscapers
in the service department thought some
color would be nice for summer.
“I knew the RNC was coming, and I
wanted to make the area more attractive,”
Beshara said. “I’ve had a good response
from residents. I also wanted to spruce
up the town with flags. Brecksville put
flags out. The flowers are going to stay
out there (after the convention).”
What was the likelihood that Richfield
would be visited by RNC attendees?
“Every one of our hotel rooms was
booked,” Beshara said. “All 200 rooms at
the Days Inn, 60 at the Hampton Inn,
61 at the Holiday Inn Express, 60 at the
Super 8 and eight at Motel 6.”
There is precedent for Richfield enhancing the village with flowers for political
occasions. According to Beshara, when
George W. Bush visited the area as president, village officials decorated the town
with mums.
“I don’t know exactly when that was,”
she said. “That was before I was mayor.”
Beshara said she wasn’t certain exactly
how many pots the village bought, but
Cheryl Jackson, secretary in the service
department, confirmed the number 90
and the type of flowers, petunias, that
filled them. She said the pots and their
contents were purchased for $4,300.
“We own the pots,” she said. ”They can
be re-utilized.”
Beshara said that was a sure thing. “We
certainly will have flowers again next
year,” the mayor said. “But maybe not to
the same extent.”
In the meantime, the pots have to be watered, because, as Beshara said, “Mother
Nature is not cooperating.”
Consequently, village personnel use the
service department’s water truck and a
hose to keep the flowers moist. ∞

Highway ramps to close
The following ramps will be closed
through late August for pavement reconstruction:
• The ramp from I-271 southbound to
SR 303 will close. The detour will be
I-271 southbound to I-77 southbound
to Wheatley Road to Brecksville Road
to SR 303.
• The ramp from SR 303 to I-271 southbound will close. The detour will be
SR 303 to Brecksville Road to I-271
southbound.
Motorists traveling on I-271 northbound from just north of the Medina
County line to the Ohio Turnpike should
be aware of a bi-directional traffic pattern.
Although two lanes of traffic are maintained in each direction on I-271 southbound, traffic is now split, with one lane
of southbound traffic crossed over onto
I-271 northbound, while the second lane
remains on the I-271 southbound side.
This work is part of a $46.4 million
project to reconstruct the pavement along
I-271 from Broadview Road to the Ohio
Turnpike. The project is scheduled to be
completed by late July 2017. ∞
NBA Finals experience not for the meek or claustrophobic
by Sam Amico
Covering the NBA Finals can be a lesson in feeling confined. Reporters from
every major sports outlet, and plenty of
small ones, converge on the city hosting
each game, overcrowding locker rooms
and workstations making difficult the
supposedly simple task of getting to your
press seat.
These are things I learned while writing
and talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers’
run to the franchise’s first championship.
It also marked the first title of any sort for
a major pro sports team in the city since
1964, a span of 52 often-painful years.
But when it came to how the games were
covered, nobody had the edge: both the
Cavs and their finals opponent, the Golden
State Warriors, had to find ways to accommodate what the NBA estimated were
more than 2,000 media. The list included
writers, broadcasters, photographers, videographers and bloggers from more than
30 countries and territories.
To show how coverage of the league (and
perhaps the Internet) has grown, that was
about 1,000 more credentials than were
issued for the Cavs’ previous finals’ appearance in 2007. That’s fine with Cleveland,
particularly the restaurants, hotels and
other businesses in Cuyahoga and Summit
counties, where reporters bunked most.
The Cavs hosted Games 3 and 4, then
Game 6, before winning on the road in
Game 7 to capture the title. These games
were covered differently than an everyday
matchup for a regular-season game.
Several reporters who covered the Cavs
outwardly shared a similar sentiment: It’s
great that the Cavs are in the finals, both
for the organization and the city. But when
it comes to how the games are covered,
give us a Tuesday night matchup vs. the
woeful Sacramento Kings or even the semitalented Atlanta Hawks.
Each of those cities sends one newspaper
beat reporter, and that’s it. And the Cavs
media crowd isn’t really a crowd at all. It’s
more like an army of four or five, even with
Cavs boasting stars such as LeBron James,
Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.
This isn’t to say reporters have a disdain
for covering major events. Most know their
stories will be well read, or in the case of
broadcasters, heard around the globe. Most
know it isn’t a hard job, that they don’t
have to lift anything heavier than a laptop
or camera, and that a lot of people would
love to have their jobs for even just one day.
There were times I drove to finals games
and thought: “Not only is someone paying
me to go, but I’ll get in trouble if I don’t.”
So occasional congestion is worth the fight.
And what a fight it can be. Shuffling
between the locker rooms, the special interview rooms reserved for the biggest of stars,
and yes, the all-important dining area, can
make a reporter feel like little more than a
number with a random affiliation. All for a
meaningful quote or two, a decent seat and
something more than a view of the game
that requires a high chair and pair of binoculars. Sometimes, it can be maddening.
Sometimes, it can be an exercise in futility.
Sometimes, it can be like trying to fight
through a crowd of more than a million in
town for a championship parade.
But for any Cleveland reporter who witnessed the title and parade that followed,
the end result was just fine. After all, the
team they covered is a champion. ∞

National Park program leases two farms
Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Countryside Conservancy have announced that
the National Park Service’s Midwest regional
director has issued letters of intent to lease
two farmsteads historically known as the
Edgar Farm and the Schmidt Foster Farm.
Beth Lomske and Kyla Werlin will operate the old Edgar Farm on Canal Road in
Valley View. This property, to be known as
Oxbow Orchard, will become a sustainable
farm business.
Lomske deepened her interest in sustainable farming while working on certified
organic vegetable and livestock operations
in Northeast Ohio and as agriculture
assistant at Hale Farm & Village. She is
in her third season as manager of Green
Corps’ Midtown Urban Learning Farm,
a program of Cleveland Botanical Garden
where youth learn sustainable farming and
employment skills while growing fresh
produce for market.
Werlin grew up in Boston and discovered
her passion for agriculture in rural North
Carolina. After working on organic farms
and learning about sustainable agriculture,
she landed in Cleveland, where she felt she
could support the local food movement by
farming in the city. For several years she has
worked with disabled adults on urban farms
and gardens around Cuyahoga County.

New mountain bike loop opens in Hampton Hills
A new 1.12-mile loop is open at the
mountain bike area of Hampton Hills
Metro Park, 2092 Theiss Rd., Akron.
The Woodward Creek Loop, named for
its proximity to Woodward Creek, is part
of a system of intermediate-level trails on
the north end of the course.
Project Manager Mark Avery said the
new loop is both challenging and scenic. It
features an advanced-level optional skillset.
A bench is situated next to Woodward
Creek so riders can stop to enjoy the view
if they choose.
“Crews are now working to add about
2 miles to the intermediate trail section,’’
Avery said. “The trail will continue north
to cross Woodward Creek, and connect
with additional trails near Akron-Peninsula
Road by the end of the summer.”
The mountain bike area is on land leased
from the city of Akron. It features beginner,
moderate and intermediate trails. Nearly
five miles of trails are open, and the area
might have up to 16 miles of mountain bike
trails in the future. For more information,
call 330-867-5511. ∞
Hill Road in Boston Heights will become
Purplebrown Farmstead, operated by Sasha
and James Miller, whose mission will be
to demonstrate the ecological, social and
economic productivity of permaculture.
Originally from USSR, Sasha Miller graduated from Solon High School, attained a
bachelor’s degree from Denison University,
completed her Masters of Public Administration at Cleveland State University and
received Permaculture Certification with
Midwest Permaculture. She has had diverse
experiences with community, development
and sustainability in Ohio, Australia, Peru
and South Korea, among other places.
James grew up in Holmes County and
graduated from the University of Akron
business school. He is a Certified Cicerone
(beer professional) and worked for the better part of the past decade to build a market
for craft and artisan beverage producers in
Chicago and Northeast Ohio.

Richfield Library’s new adult librarian to enhance programs
by Chris Collins
When voters approved a new tax
levy in May of last year to support the
Akron-Summit County Public Library,
the system was able to fill positions that
had been vacant for years. At the Richfield Branch, Director Jennifer Stencel
recently hired a new adult librarian, a
position that had been vacant for seven
years.
Mike Daly has only been on the job
for a couple months, and Stencel is glad
for the help.
“I am absolutely thrilled that he’s here,”
she said.
Before his arrival, Stencel had been
running adult programs and outreach
in addition to managing the Richfield
branch.
Daly’s career has come full circle. He
was studying library science at Case
Western Reserve University in 1978
when “a summer job turned into a 30year career,” he said. He worked in the
real estate title search business and eventually rose to executive vice president at

a national company.
A few years ago, Daly decided to go
back to school and complete his library
science degree at Kent State University. While in school, he completed a
practicum at the APSCL’s main branch
in downtown Akron. After graduating,
he was a substitute at several branches
before spending four years as a full-time
librarian at the system’s Maple Valley
Branch on Copley Road in west Akron.
Since Daly first studied library science
in the late 1970s, the field has changed
with the evolution of technology. When
he returned to KSU 30 years later, the
emphasis on publishing and preserving works had switched from paper to
digital.
“If you don’t get [publications] online,
it seems as if they don’t exist,” he said.
“It’s a pretty exciting time to be in a
library,” Stencel said. “We have to be
proactive to see what’s next.”
Daly’s primary focus in his new position is community outreach, including
promoting and running programs for
adults and keeping the library’s displays
in order. This fall, the library will host
a monthly movie night program and a
series of speakers, including Korean War
Veteran Bud Sawchik, filmmaker Logan
Fry, and local author Jim Burkett, who
will talk about how aspiring writers can
self-publish their work.
Daly will also continue to run three
book clubs.

librarian at the Richfield branch library

material. Photo by P. Wilson
“My whole work is keeping up with
the three book clubs,” he said.
Daly said he has no regrets about leaving the business world.
“After working 30 years in business,
it’s just a pleasure to come to work every
day,” he said, adding that helping patrons
is a bonus. “I have encounters that will
maybe change their lives,” he said. ∞

Tips offered on how to succeed in college
by Kathleen Steele Gaivin
The transition from high school to
college means adjustments for both
students and parents. The Cuyahoga
Valley Career Center (CVCC) hosted
a seminar on how to provide tips for
helping students succeed in college and
advice for parents on how to support
their children.
“Every student that is accepted to a
college or university can succeed. They
wouldn’t be accepted if they couldn’t,”
said Dr. Trina Dobberstein, dean of
students at Baldwin Wallace University.
“There is a campus resource for everything that could potentially go wrong. ...
Seek out help sooner rather than later.”
Robin Stone, educator at the Ohio
State University Extension – Cuyahoga
County, led the high school students in
a “college reality simulation,” where they
moved from station to station learning
about everything from financial aid to
meal plans to transportation. Along the
way, volunteers handed out “life happens cards,” and students tried to figure
out what to do if something unexpected
occurred.
Meanwhile, in a separate session,
Dobberstein advised parents on the
transition to parenting a college student, based on her experience working
in higher education for four decades.
Dobberstein’s message for parents was to
back off from trying to manage students’
daily events.
“Once they grow up and go to college, there’s going to be a perception
on the part of instructors that now
Honor a
Loved One.
they’re responsible for themselves, and
that they’re going to be making a lot of
choices,” she said.
Dobberstein said that over the years,
the one thing she has seen decline in
young people is resilience. In this age
of helicopter parenting, young people
have, in many cases, not developed the
skills they need to solve problems on
their own.
“They don’t seem to have as much
grit,” she said.
Parents and students reconvened for
a panel discussion that included Dobberstein and two Baldwin Wallace University students: David Pelland, CPF of
Bear Pelland Associates, and Lt. Chad
Cunningham of the University of Akron
Police Department.
“Stay true to yourself. I think that’s
really important,” Dobberstein said.
The university students stressed time
management, diet and exercise, getting
involved with activities on campus and
establishing positive relationships with
professors and peers.
Pelland advised students on how to
manage personal finances in college.
“Set up clear expectations very early on
as far as where and how you’re going to
spend your money,” he said.
He suggested setting up a bank account that is available at home and at
school. Having an account at a bank on
or near campus will eliminate fees when
withdrawing cash, in contrast with using
nonaffiliated ATMs.
Pelland suggested that students get a
credit card to establish a good credit history and for emergencies but cautioned
against using it for consumables like a
night on the town. “It’s a quick way to
get into trouble,” he said.
Pay off the bill every month to avoid
leaving college with credit card debt,
Pelland said.
Cunningham talked about living responsibly and safely while in college.
Above all, he stressed the importance of
the buddy system for men and women
whether going to an evening class or an
off-campus party. ∞

Revere student travels
with Cleveland Youth
Wind Symphony
by Laura Straub
Once Revere High School student Josh
Durbin played the alto saxophone in sixth
grade, it didn’t take long for him to realize
how much he enjoyed it.
“My dad brought one home one day and
he asked me if I wanted to mess around
with it,” said Durbin. “I just kind of figured out that I liked it a lot.”
“According to his mother, Deanna, “My
husband (Dave) is not a musician. But a
friend’s son had played the saxaphone in
high school, so he borrowed it from his
friend and brought it home for Josh to try
out. Josh immediately loved playing it.’’
He liked it so much, he began working
with a private instructor, who inspired
him to audition for the Cleveland Youth
Wind Symphony, sponsored by the Cleveland Institute of Music and Case Western
Reserve.
“My private instructor believed that
I would get into it,” said Durbin. “He

many, the musicians performed outdoors
on the Rothenburg Marktplaz and in Austria they performed at the Brucknerhaus
Concert Hall in Linz.
During the whirlwind tour, Durbin’s
favorite stop was Rosenburg, Germany.
“It felt unreal,” he said. “It was like this
big medieval city with the cobblestones,
churches and buildings.”
Although the traveling was fun, Durbin
said his favorite part of being involved with
the CYWS is the challenge of the music.
“It’s something you don’t get from a
school music group,” he said. “This group
is serious about what they do.”
After the tour, Durbin auditioned for
the 2016-2017 concert season, and he
will be a part of the Cleveland Youth
Wind Symphony in the fall. Durbin
also continues to practice with a private
instructor and plays in Revere marching
band and Revere jazz band. ∞

influenced me a lot.’’
Durbin auditioned and was accepted
into the symphony at the beginning of
his freshman year of high school, joining
young musicians from about 75 schools
in Northeast Ohio in playing technically
challenging pieces.
The group performs a number of concerts at Severance Hall and local high
schools and makes an annual overseas
tour. Durbin embarked on the group’s
12th annual International Concert Tour
to four countries from June 16-June 27.
“Going to so many places in such a small
amount of time and being able to see so
much was incredible,” said Durbin.
The symphony began its tour with a
concert at Leiden in the Netherlands with
Fanfareorkest St. Caecilla Heemskerk in
the Hooglandse Kerk.
The group then performed in Luxembourg at the Luxembourg Conservatory
with its Symphonic Orchestra. In GerThe Richfield Times Magazine, August 2016

Tips Given For Multiplication and
Division of Iris Plants
by Kathy VanDevere
There are seven species of iris that are commonly grown in
gardens. All of these belong to the Iridacueae family, a group
of plants that is 2,000 species strong. The iris genre is most
remembered for their foliage. The leaves are tall (in comparison
to the flower), flat, pointed and the same on both sides. The
size and flower color, as well as their preferred habitat, are what
distinguish the iris within their genus.
Some grow from bulbs, others from tubers and still another
from seed. All are perennial and herbaceous. Most have bulbs or
rhizomes with rootlets securing them to the ground.
Interestingly, these plants have a history that reaches back about
82 million years, which is probably why they have no memory.
Some humans can reach 100 years of life, but memory is not
sharp for all. So, the result after 82 million years is a few diversities. Within the iris there are seven, and they each have somewhat
different blossom color, size, root structure and habitat.
Most of the multiplying and dividing occurs after flowering
or in the fall.
1. Crested Iris, Iris crestata, 4-10 inches tall, can be divided
or seed grown.
2. Japanese Iris, Iris ensata, 2-3 feet tall, is best undisturbed.
Divide rhizomes after flowering and retain one set of leaves to
one section of rhizome with roots.
3. Bearded Iris, Iris hybrids, 2-4 feet tall, divide rhizomes the
same as above.
4. Sweet Iris, Iris pallida, 3 feet tall, divide clumps in summer.
5. Yellow Flag, Iris pseudoacorus, usually found wild in swamps
or waterways, must have wet feet. Divide or sow seed.
6. Netted Iris, Iris reticulata, 8-10 inches tall, has very small
bulbs that stay in place for several years. May lift, divide and
replant in fall.
7. Siberian Iris, Iris sibirica, 2-4 feet tall has interesting seed
pods through the winter. Not usually necessary to separate, but
do so in spring if necessary. ∞
Garden Tips
from the Richfield Garden Club
Every season has its own list of to-dos. Late summer and early
fall are starting to peek around the corner. Be sure to keep up
on watering, especially in the summer heat. Dead-heading (removing spent or dead blooms) can revive a garden. There is still
time for one or two rounds of blooming. Repot your plots with
bigger pots and fresh soil or just replace the top 3-4 inches of soil
if not repotting. Pot up some annuals to bring into the house.
Snip your herbs and dry or freeze for winter use. Keep up with
fruiting vines, bushes and trees, cutting out all the dead wood
from them. Plant new bushes and trees, giving them plenty of
time to develop a new root system. Harvesting should continue
till the first frost, hopefully a long, long, long way off. ∞

When to Seek
Professional Help
By Lisa Borchert-Hrivnak, M.A.Ed., LPCC
Owner, Avenues of Counseling and Mediation, LLC
We all deal with stressors on a dayto-day basis. Some days we feel sad,
anxious, upset or angry.
That said, how do you know when
these feelings might cause you or
someone you care about to need to
talk to a professional?
That can be a difficult question to
answer, but here are some red flags
that might indicate you or your loved Lisa Borchert-Hrivnak,
one could benefit from a consultation M.A.Ed., LPCC, owner
of Avenues of Counseling
with a mental health provider:
and Mediation, LLC
• You’ve had a recent life change (in
the last 6 months), for example: moving to a new area,
death in the family or divorce or separation, and you are
still not transitioning well.
• Others are noticing changes in your attitude or behaviors
and are questioning or concerned.
• You have a lack of interest in things you used to value.
• Your relationships are strained.
• Your feelings are interfering with your daily activities.
• You are feeling “stuck.”
• You have physical symptoms (i.e. headaches, stomach
aches) for which your doctor can’t find any medical
causes.
• You are using substances (legal or otherwise) to cope.
If you or someone you know is ever feeling suicidal, seek
help immediately. The National Crisis Hotline is available 24
hours a day at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). This or 911 is best
for immediate assistance.
But you don’t have to wait until you are really hurting to
make the call to talk to someone. Why wait until you are really
suffering? Even if you are not completely sure if talking to a
professional could help you, what could it hurt?
A mental health professional can help you tease out what
might be causing you to feel bad, sad, angry or stressed
and will work with you to figure out how to feel better. They
can also help you repair and strengthen your relationships
with others if they are suffering.
Most people who seek out help feel better as a result.

AirConditioningRegisters
byTomOlecki
An important part of your air conditioning system performance is its air
delivery system. The registers are at the
end of this cycle and have a great impact on how well
your home cools.
Having the correct registers can
m a ke o r bre a k
your comfort during the summer
months.
There are two
different purposTom Olecki, owner, es for the regisBroadview Heating ters in your home.
Some are meant
to deliver cool air
to the living space and some are designed to return air back to the system.
These are termed supply and return,
respectively. The following suggestions
deal with the supply registers.
In the summer, cool air from the supply
registers is heavier than warm air so we
must deliver the cool air in an upward
pattern to effectively mix the living space
area. This will give a more even temperature between the ceiling and floor space.
I have found registers in homes built
before approximately 1965 that were
not designed for cooling. These registers have an air pattern that delivers
airflow to the floor rather than blowing
the air upwards and with these types
of registers, the air conditioning will run
much longer cycles than necessary. If
you have an older home you can identify
this type of register by looking at its louvers. If the louvers are slanted towards
the floor, you might consider replacing
them with a more modern style register that has adjustable louvers. These
registers are approximately $25-$35
each plus installation. Or, a much more
affordable solution is to pick up a set of
deflectors. These innovative devices are
made of clear plastic and simply attach

to your existing registers with included
magnets. When installed correctly, the
deflector will direct the air straight up
towards the ceiling. These may not look
as nice, but the increase in performance
and money saved is well worth it. The
cost of these deflectors is a more reasonable $15 each, and you can install
them yourself. You should only use
these during the summer months. For
heating, take them off and store them
until next year.
For those of you with modern style
registers, take time to inspect the supply
and return registers. Make sure nothing is in the path of its airflow and that
its damper is fully open. These simple
steps will save you money and allow
your air conditioner to cool your home
comfortably.
