a MESSAGE
from our Mayor
Dear Reader,
I cannot stress enough a very important Issue will be on
the ballot on August 2, 2016--Issue 1. Issue 1 is a
temporary increase in income tax from 2% to 2.5% of
earned income. It is not a permanent tax. After 5 years;
.25% will fall off and the remaining .25% will continue.
These monies will be specifically earmarked for roads
and stormwater related improvements only. If you are
employed making $50,000 a year it will cost you $20 a
month. Retirees and unemployed do not pay. There is over $20 million dollars
needed and an additional $7 million needed over the next 5 years for road
improvements. If Issue I passes road and related stormwater repair will start
immediately. Some of the higher priority streets include:
Meadowlawn, Skyland, Eileen, Laurel (Chamberlain to Shepard Rds),
Waters, Thistleridge, Berkshire(N.Bedford to Crow), Brookpoint Drives,
Valley View (Highland to Rt 82), Shepard (Rt 82 to Highland Rd), Ledge,
N.Bedford (N Corp to Ledge Rd), Oakview (east of the creek), and
Summer Roads, Foxhill, Robin, & Sioux Lanes, Cammanche Trail,
Shepard Hills Blvd (Shepard Rd to #1044), and Sugarbush Park. The City
will continue to monitor the condition of, and prioritize roads for repair.
State and Federal dollars are not available and cannot be used for residential street
improvements. If your street is deteriorating, it will affect your home value. A lot
of misinformation is out there on Issue I. I encourage you to educate yourself and
read the FACTS posted on our City’s website at www.macedonia.oh.us
Only you can make a difference. We are a community. Building our future
together. Remember to vote on August 2nd…Issue I.
What’s happening around town. We welcome some of the new businesses that have
called Macedonia their home; Lock and Key Beauty Salon, Rally House a retail
store of Pro and College sports apparel, Citizens Bank and Royal Cleaners. There
have been 16 new residential dwellings to date this year. The ‘Avenue’ a
98-bedroom Nursing Home and Rehabilitation development located at 9730 Valley
View is set for completion in December 2016.

Ball park diamond improvements are underway as the Service Department crew are constructing baseball
dugouts, the first ever! The Service Department will be doing a one-time branch pickup beginning August 1st
due to the severe storm that hit our City on July 13th. We ask you place branches on your tree-lawn as workers
are not allowed to go on private property. Refer to the City’s website for information.
Take advantage of the many activities planned at our Community Recreation Center in the upcoming fall season.
Be aware of school children as students begin classes in August and busses are on the roads. To those students
college-bound, good luck to you and make the most of your dreams. As one Stanford writer said; “Don’t let the
noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your
heart and intuition, it already knows what you truly want to become.”
Be safe and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Sincerely,
Mayor Joseph Migliorini

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BUSINESS OF THE MONTH…
Blue Willow Lounge
9862 Freeway Drive • Macedonia, OH 44056
330.467.8880 • www.bluewillowlounge.com
In 1987, the Chesla family purchased the Blue Willow Lounge on Route 82
in Macedonia. Almost 10 years ago, they needed to find a new location,
due to eminent domain. They re-opened on Freeway Dr. just behind Speedway at Route 82 and Freeway Dr. The family wanted to create a dining
experience that is more hometown and provide an experience that will keep
people coming back.
The Blue Willow has so many loyal patrons due to the 'CHEERS" atmosphere and the different variety of foods
they offer as well as the experience they receive each time they visit. What is the Blue Willow known for? Their
excellent chicken paprikash, which comes with dumplings or noodles. This has been their Thursday dinner special
for 25 years. Soup is made daily along with chili and a sandwich or wrap. On Friday, they have a great selection
of dinners to choose from. They offer Lake Erie Perch and Walleye dinners. Tilapia, shrimp, jumbo perogies and
potato pancakes are also on the menu. All you can eat of the beer batter fish from 5-8 p.m. is a great favorite.
Customers come in for Dave's home-made wing sauces or one of his famous burgers. Those are the best sellers.
Wednesday is build a burger day.
When you visit the Blue Willow, you can enjoy the multiple televisions that surround the restaurant or go outside
on their upscale patio and enjoy the evening air. The Chesla family go beyond their restaurant to be a part of the
community. They are known for helping many fundraisers and charitable events. You may see them providing
food for the Nordonia High Football Team or donating to
the Wrestling team.
On August 20th, there is a pig roast being done to benefit
the Longwood Manor. This will be a great event for the
entire family. The Chesla family has established themselves as pioneers in the Nordonia Community as the first
to offer Taco Nights, Wing Nights, Happy Hour and
Home-made Chicken Paprikash. When asked what is their
favorite dish, they said, The Chicken Paprikash! Another
great dish is Tuesday's Meat Loaf. During Cleveland
Indians games and other sporting events they offer food
and drink specials.

The History and Evolution of Building Codes
The evolution of modern building codes began over 5,000 years ago and have historically
developed in cycles. Generally, the failure to regulate and provide standards has lead to poor
construction techniques. This, aided by increased population, particularly in urban-type areas
created conditions where a major fire or other type of disaster managed to could occur to the
extent that it would destroy an entire community. Only after such a tragedy does the public
come to the realization that there is a need for building codes and a program of enforcement.
One of the earliest and most basic of building codes was developed in the Babylonian Empire
around 2000 B.C. It was attributed to King Hammurabi. In short is stated that if a builder built
a house and his work was not strong and the house fell in and killed the householder, the builder shall he himself be killed. (imagine
that in modern law today!)
The Roman Empire had also recognized the need for building codes and enacted regulations around 27 A.D. Sadly, Rome burned in 64
A.D. Obviously codes without enforcement served no purpose. Another example of poor enforcement came to light in London in
1666 when the great fire of London occurred. The massive fire burned uncontrolled for five days, destroying nearly 15,000 buildings.
Oddly, only a few years earlier a code was adopted that recognized the value of using fireproof materials for building party walls to
prevent the passage of fire and combustible gasses.
In the United States, the most famous fire was the Chicago fire of 1871. The fire lasted for 2 days, leaving 250 people dead and
destroying nearly 17,000 homes. One hundred thousand people were left homeless. In 1875 the city enacted a building code and a fire
prevention ordinance. This further demonstrates the unfortunate cycle of building code development.
In 1905 the National Board of Fire Underwriters published the National Building Code to serve as guide for local governments to
enact laws regulation building construction. Most interestingly (and maybe not; money is always the bottom line) the code was the
result of the number of severe (financial) losses incurred by fire insurance companies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Over the years various codes were created regionally throughout the United States due to climatic and environmental conditions
within the region. In 1950 Building Officials and Code Administrators International drafted a national building code known as the
BOCA National Building Code. It was used as a template for other regionally drafted model codes throughout the country until 2000
when all of the national model building codes became uniform under the code now known as the International Building Code
published by the International Code Council (ICC).
The Ohio Building Code, which regulates construction of commercial structures and multi-family dwellings such as apartments, is
based upon The International Building Code. The Ohio Board of Building Standards reviews the code every three years to keep up
with technological advances in the industry.
In 2006 the State of Ohio mandated the adoption of a residential building code to regulate construction of one, two and three family
dwellings. The code is called the Residential Building Code of Ohio (RCO). Like the Ohio Building Code, it is based upon an ICC
published model code, the International Residential Code.
Building Departments are certified by the State of Ohio to enforce the Ohio Building Code and the Residential Code of Ohio.
Personnel licensed to perform safety inspections and are required to attend continuing education courses.
If you wish to know more about building codes or if you have a specific question regarding a code please call the Building
Department for assistance.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or
containing it until the fire department arrives; but portable extinguishers have
limitations. Because fire grows and spreads so rapidly, the number one priority for
residents is to get out safely.
Safety tips
• Use a portable fire extinguisher when the fire is confined to a small area, such as a
wastebasket, and is not growing; everyone has exited the building; the fire department has been called or is being
called; and the room is not filled with smoke.
• To operate a fire extinguisher, remember the word PASS:
- Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you, and release the locking
mechanism.
- Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
- Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
- Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side.
• For the home, select a multi-purpose extinguisher (can be used on all types of home fires) that is large enough to
put out a small fire, but not so heavy as to be difficult to handle.
• Choose a fire extinguisher that carries the label of an independent testing laboratory.
• Read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher and become familiar with its parts and operation before a
fire breaks out. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors often offer hands-on fire extinguisher
trainings.
• Install fire extinguishers close to an exit and keep your back to a clear exit when you use the device so you can
make an easy escape if the fire cannot be controlled. If the room fills with smoke, leave immediately.
• Know when to go. Fire extinguishers are one element of a fire response plan, but the primary element is safe
escape. Every household should have a home fire escape plan and working smoke alarms.

As Summer Ends, Drivers must be Vigilant and Aware
as School Begins on August 23rd
With summer ending and the start of school just around the corner, drivers need
to do their part to keep kids safe as they walk and bike to school. Whether you
are taking your kids to school or just driving through a school zone, you can do
your part to keep kids safe. Remember these back to school safety tips!
August is designated as Back-to-School Safety Month and we want to remind
motorists to be extra careful at all times.
It is even more important for drivers not to be distracted or talking and texting on their phones as driving patterns
change, school zone speed limits are enforced, and kids are crossing busy intersections. Turning off your cell phone is
one of the smartest things you can do.
Follow the tips below to make sure you keep your children safe while walking and biking to school.
Here are some simple reminders for drivers:
Bus Safety
• Motorists are required to stop when approaching a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing and
STOP arms extended.
• The only time traffic approaching an oncoming school bus does not need to stop, is if there is a raised barrier
such as a concrete divider or at least five feet of unpaved space separating the lanes of traffic.
• Motorists should be alert and watch for children especially near schools, bus stops, school buses, and in school
parking lots.
• At bus stops, children should wait in a safe place away from the road.
• Children should never walk behind a bus.
• Remember, Stop on Red, kids ahead!
While Driving
• Slow down and be especially alert in the residential neighborhoods and school zones
• Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs
• Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully
• Watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours
• Reduce any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.
• Put down your phone and don’t talk or text while driving.
Reminder for your kids:
• They should cross the street with an adult until they are at least 10 years old
• Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks
• Never run out into the streets or cross in between parked cars
• Make sure they always walk in front of the bus where the driver can see them

Dangers of Hyperthermia- Never Leave Your Child Alone in the Car
With the hectic first few days of schools, family routines are changing. This is one factor that can lead to parents
accidentally leaving their children in cars. Parents need to understand how quickly a car can heat up, how
susceptible children are to heat, and what they need to do to help prevent these tragic deaths.
• Lock cars and trucks. Thirty percent of the recorded heat stroke deaths in the U.S. occur because a child was
playing in an unattended vehicle.
• These deaths can be prevented by simply locking the vehicle doors and putting keys out of reach to help assure
that kids don’t enter the vehicles and become trapped.
• Create reminders. Many child heat stroke deaths occur because parents and caregivers become distracted and
exit their vehicle without their child.
Every year, thousands of children are hurt or die because a driver moving forward very slowly didn’t see them.
These incidents for the most part take place in residential driveways or parking lots and are referred to as
‘frontovers.’ (the opposite of a backover).
Backover incidents also kill or seriously injure thousands of children because a driver backing up didn’t see them. A
backover incident typically takes place when a car is backing out of a driveway or parking space. Another hazard is
kids setting cars in motion. Always lock your vehicle, so it is not an attractive “toy” to young children.

We hope that everyone has been enjoying their DRY and HOT summer so far. Your Service Department has been taking
full advantage of the weather with a great deal of beautification projects throughout the City ranging from landscaping
of City entrance signs and development right of ways, Parks and Recreation Center grounds maintenance and street
signs, just to name a few.
SERVICE:
Please allow to introduce the newest member to the fleet of the Service Department.
Pictured below is a 2016 John Deere 328E wheel loader with a 24” cold planer which will
be utilized for asphalt road repairs. While this machine will have multiple uses for
functions throughout the year, our primary focus for the month of August will be for
asphalt repairs where applicable.
Storm water projects continue as we had just recently completed 3 catch basin repairs on
Red Bush Lane and will be focusing on additional repairs located on Firestone Lane,
Elmwood Drive, and Crow Drive.
Street signs are in the process of getting makeovers by placing vinyl sleeves over the posts and
capping. By doing this, we expect longer durability as opposed to the painted wood posts that are
currently in place. Please, DO NOT try to staple or nail any signage to these posts as damage to
them can occur. We have currently completed the developments of Rolling Hills and Thousand
Oaks and will continue to proceed throughout the City.
PARKS:
As mentioned in July’s E-messenger. Construction of the
baseball dugouts continue. Masonry walls are starting to go up
and the floors are getting prepped for concrete. The pictures
may not do this justice but the final results sure will.
