Valley Art Center’s “En Plein Air” Exhibit
Valley Art Center has opened the first exhibition of their fall season. En Plein Air
features over 40 works of art created in natural surroundings from around the country and
beyond. Plein air paintings are unique because they are painted outside where the artist can
respond directly to the light, colors and natural perspective of the landscape. The paintings
and drawings in the exhibition range in style from tight realism to expressive design, and
from bold brush marks to delicate washes. The Juror’s Choice Award, selected by juror
Rob Crombie, goes to a watercolor titled “Horseshoe Pond” by Bob Titus of Chardon. The
show includes 29 exhibiting artists from around the region and as far away as Michigan,
Louisiana and California.
In the center of VAC’s Margaret “Peg” Bowen Gallery, 14 walls of miniature Whiskey
Paintings hold their own among the plein air paintings. Founded in Northeastern Ohio
in the 1950s, the Whiskey Painters of America have a limited number of prestigious
members who create small paintings using watercolor and alcoholic spirits. Don’t miss
this opportunity to see a large selection of Whiskey Paintings right here in Chagrin Falls.
Opening night saw a large and enthusiastic crowd of art lovers and sales of work in
both the En Plein Air and the Whiskey Painters of America shows. Both exhibitions will
be on display, with art for sale, until Oct. 12. Valley Art Center’s Margaret “Peg” Bowen
Gallery is always free and open to the public.

The River Town Exhibit:
Paintings by Nancy Martt
Join us for Hamlet’s famous fifty cent lunch in the Atrium at 11:30 a.m.
Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, now through Oct. 31 in Hamlet Atrium,
Hamlet Village in Chagrin Falls, 200 Hamlet Hills Dr. The River Town Exhibit, works by
resident artist Nancy Martt features a mix of local interest landscapes of the Chagrin River
and architecture. Nancy is known for her paintings of Whitesburg Park, areas around the
Chagrin River, industrial scenes along the Cuyahoga, and Cleveland architecture.
Nancy Martt grew up in the Chicago area and graduated from the Chicago Art
Institute. She taught art classes at Valley Art Center for many years. Her signature paintings
of Chagrin facades are hung in Township Hall, the Cleveland Clinic, and the Federated
Church.
Whitesburg Park is featured in this show. It has an interesting history according to
Nancy Martt. “Deacon Harvey White purchased the land we call Whitesburg in 1842. He
built a spar dam 16 feet high, creating a 50 acre pond. That dam soon collapsed, but was
replaced by a sound one. He built an ax factory which thrived during westward migration
when forests were cleared for farming. Deacon White cleared the rest of his land of trees to
make way for other mills taking advantage of the power for the fast flowing Chagrin River.
By the end of the century, the mills had faded, and forests began recovering. When we
moved here in the early ’50s, we could take hikes in the tangled area. Later, Chase Bag leased
the land to a fish and game club, and a fence kept us out. Deacon White’s architecturally
splendid old home still stood, though hopelessly decayed. The fire department used it for a
practice burn. In the early ’90s, developers competed for possible purchase of the acreage
and pond that was Whitesburg. One August day in 1994, we had six inches of rain in 24
hours and the failing dam gave way. The pond became a mud flat. The developers backed
out, and the bag factory eventually gave the land to Chagrin Falls for a minimal sum. The
Village began the process to turn it into a park with the help of the Chagrin River Land
Conservancy.” The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Good People Opens ACT’s 57th Season Oct. 21
Good People, a play about choices, and those who may not have them, opens Aurora
Community Theatre’s 57th season at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, continuing Fridays and
Saturdays through Nov. 12 at the theatre, 115 E. Pioneer Trail.
Fred Sternfeld makes his ACT directorial debut with David Lindsay-Abaire’s Good
People, which takes a provocative, sometimes humorous, but never preachy look at the
“haves” and “have-nots” in America. Is it luck, hard work or a combination of the two that
determine destiny?
The play tells the story of Margie Walsh and Mikey Dillon who grew up good friends
in blue-collar South Boston. They even had a brief summer romance, but after high school,
Mike caught every break. He went to college, became a doctor, moved to the suburbs and
rose rapidly on the financial ladder. At the same time, Margie’s no-luck life and single
motherhood kept her in Southie, juggling minimum-wage jobs, always balancing on a
slippery slope “only a paycheck away from desperate straits.”
When Margie and Mike meet again two decades later, the stark contrast of their lives
and a long-buried secret force them each to take an honest look at life.
Aurorans Paula Kline-Messner and Rob Albrecht take on the featured roles of Margie
and Mike. Jenny Barrett plays Margie’s friend and bingo buddy, Jean. Mary Jane Nottage
is Margie’s patient landlady Dottie, and Craig Joseph, her dollar store boss, Stevie. Kristi
Little performs the role of Mike’s wife, Kate.
Marianne Paul is the producer. Ann Nyenhuis serves as stage manager and in charge
of set construction and properties. Ron Newell is the scenic designer with Bebe Weinberg
Katz, costume designer. Maggie Hamilton designed and will manage sound. Craig Kollai
created the lighting plan. Laura Nosek is liaison to the ACT Board of Trustees.
Tickets at $16 for adults, $11 for youth 18 and under, are available online, including
seat selection, at www.auroracommmunitytheatre.co m, or call the box office at 330-5621818. Group discounts are available by calling the box office. Opening night tickets include
a complimentary after-show gala and the opportunity to meet cast and crew.
Aurora Community Theatre’s Regular Season continues in 2017 with Bus Stop Jan.
27-Feb. 18 and Brigadoon April 28-May 20. ACT’s benefit show, David Ives’s One Acts,
will be performed March 3-11. The summer musical is Grease June 30-July 15.
Aurora Community Theatre is located at 115 E. Pioneer Trail, near the intersection of
SR 43 and 306, at the gazebo, in the center of Aurora. ACT extends appreciation to The
Denise G. & Norman E. Wells Jr. Family Foundation for their generous underwriting of the
Wells Main Stage.

SPIRIT of BAINBRIDGE
Fabulous Fall Ohio Stay-cation
By David King
Every year I hear or read travel advertisements promoting “color tours” of Michigan,
New England, and even the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.” I have been to all of these
areas in the fall and, yes, they are quite beautiful. But in my opinion none of these is prettier
than our autumns in the Chagrin River Valley.
We live on the edge of one of the most lush and picturesque woodlands on earth.
Sadly, however, we become so busy with our everyday tasks that we don’t often stop and
appreciate these blessings we have. So this year I would like to suggest that we take a day
to actually plan a “color tour” vacation day without needing to stay in a hotel or fly in an
airplane. Here is my version of an ideal Ohio “stay-cation” day.
Much of my itinerary intentionally skirts civilization so you might want to plan a few
things ahead of time. You will want a full tank of gas, some beach towels, and if possible a
small bag of cracked corn from the grocery or pet store. (I will explain later.) You will also
need to pack a picnic. My favorite “lazy man” picnic includes a cooler of twist top sodas,
water, or ice tea, a can of Pringles chips, and a stop at the Subway shop on Washington
Street. If you smile and say please, they will even cut and wrap your sandwich in fourths
for easy sharing and handling.
Now start driving on Washington Street toward Chagrin Falls. I’m sure all Spirit
readers have been through Chagrin Falls but when was the last time you stopped to really
appreciate it? Why not park on the bridge or in one of the municipal parking lots? Take
a stroll around the Triangle. Read the dates on the building facades and try to imagine
what sorts of stores were there when this was a mill town. Do some window shopping,
imagining it as one of those trendy little towns in New England or the Hamptons. Of
course, to me there are few pleasures in life nicer than eating a Popcorn Shop ice cream
cone in the little park across the street by the dam, but perhaps today we will want to save
that for dessert on the way home. Be sure to walk down the stairs to the falls. It is a proven
fact that falling water washes off negative ions which give you a sense of well-being.
Pause a while and drink it in. It’s a natural high!
Back in your car you will then drive up Main Street to the top of “Pumpkin Hill” where
scallywag teens used to steal people’s jack-o-lanterns and roll them down into the town.
(There is a similar event these days but it is all too supervised and civilized for my taste).
Continuing north on Main Street, you will eventually merge left on to Falls Road where
you will be driving over a beautifully restored (and very expensive) brick road which is
one of the last such roads in the country. Falls Road ends at South Woodland Drive which
you will then follow to the left until you pass the Polo Fields. At the intersection you can
turn right on to Chagrin River Road which has been officially designated as a “Ohio Scenic
Waterway.” This lovely road follows through the villages of Moreland Hills and Hunting
Valley. The wood fenced horse farms remind me of Lexington, Kentucky, while the stacked
stone fences remind me of “Merry Olde England.” You half expect to see Downton Abbey
around the next bend. Once past Cedar Road, the road runs closer beside the river where
you can see the glorious colored foliage mirrored in the rippling water below (twice the
fun!). You will then arrive in the tiny village of Gates Mills.
You might want to park and take in this little jewel of a town. Though it was founded
in 1826, it actually came into its own in the 1920s when rich Cleveland industrialists came
out here to build country refuges for their families to get away from the pollution of their
own factories. These visionaries enacted strict building codes that even today maintain
its white clapboard Greek revival style. You will notice the black iron trestle that serves
today as a foot bridge. Believe it or not, this was once part of an electric trolley system that
allowed them to commute into Cleveland every day. Along with the elegant Hunt Club,
you should take notice of the charming Saint Christopher’s-by-the-River Church. The
whole town is a picture perfect example of New England village architecture as if lifted up
by the twister in Wizard Of Oz and set down in Ohio.
Continuing along Chagrin River Road, you will eventually cross over Mayfield Road,
Rt. 322. There you might catch a bit of modern civilization in your peripheral vision,
but just look ahead as you continue into the wooded lane so it doesn’t spoil the mood.
Eventually you will come to another pretty church named The Little Church in the Vale and
another bridge that will take you back over the river. Continuing to follow Chagrin River
Road to the right you will soon come to Ox Bow Lane where you will then turn left. This
will take you into the North Chagrin Reserve, my favorite part of the famous Cleveland
Metro Park System. Nicknamed the “Emerald Necklace,” this system of parks circles the
city of Cleveland like a green jeweled necklace. However, in autumn those jewels glow
with brilliant orange, crimson and gold. Riding under a canopy of leaves, the sun shines
down as if through the stain glass panels of a cathedral window. Following the well-marked
road signs, you will want to turn on to Buttermilk Falls Drive. At the falls, there is a small
parking area that is just a short walk from the picturesque sight of water spilling over
flagstone tiers. There is a nice viewing deck here with benches to sit upon. This is where
I would recommend eating your lunch amid the music of the birds and gurgling water.
Breathe in the fresh air and let your task-driven inner clock unwind a bit because today
you are on vacation. You might even slip off your shoes and socks and roll up your cuffs.
The water here is only a few inches deep and you can actually wade down the slate steps
under the foot bridge. The smells, sounds and touch of the cool water will help to sensually
connect you with the beautiful natural setting. When you get back to your car, you will be
glad you brought those beach towels to dry off for the next part of your trip.
Back on the Buttermilk Falls parkway, you will now turn to the right and follow the
signs to the North Chagrin Nature Center. The center includes a nice display building with
a gift shop and modern restrooms which I suggest you take advantage of. At the front of
the building, you will find Sunset Lake with its beautiful mallard and wood ducks. It is not
healthy to feed them bread scraps but if you brought along the crack corn, you can attract
their attention for a closer view. Children especially like feeding the ducks and geese. If
you’ve brought the family dog along on this trip, please leave him in the car. A dog, even
on a leash, will scare the ducks away and spoil the fun for everyone else (one of my pet
peeves). At the rear of the building, you can visit the Sanctuary Marsh with a unique 300foot boardwalk to take you out for a close look at the plants and wildlife without needing
rubber hip boots. You will often see magnificent Canada Geese landing on the water or
flying overhead in their V-shape flight patterns. This is a truly wonderful facility and it is
all totally free!
Your last stop will be to follow the signs to Squires Castle. In my childhood, I heard
all sorts of romantic folk tales and ghost stories about this building, but alas they were not
true. Squires Castle was actually built as a gate-house for a medieval style estate that was
never completed. There still is, however, enough “castle” there to spark the imagination
of little would-be princesses and knights. The area has picnic tables and some of the oldfashioned swings big enough for adults to use. Behind the castle, there are a number of

by David King.
well-marked trails for varying levels of difficulty. I particularly love the profusions of
wild ferns and moss-covered rocks that look like relics of prehistoric times. While you
may be tempted to take home a souvenir plant or artifact, please remember this is a place
to share and preserve as it is. You should also always remember the old campers’ rule that
whatever you bring into the park you will take out of the park. (No littering.)
You may want to return home via the same route you came or if not, you can drive
back to Mayfield Road (Rt.322) where you will now turn left and then later turn right on to
Chillicothe (Rt. 306) which will take you more quickly home to Bainbridge.
While this is just one of my favorite versions of a great color-tour there are many other
options you might chose. You could also visit the Metro Park in Solon with its Squaw Rock
and Sulfur Springs, or you could take a ride out to Amish country in Burton or Middlefield
village. My point is that we should not get so involved in our day to day minutia that we
don’t stop to look up and celebrate the uniquely beautiful area where we are so fortunate
to live. Give yourself the gift of a day away from the ordinary and hopefully share it with
someone you love. You won’t regret it.
