April showers bring May flowers at
Hudson’s historic Cabin on the Green.
Hudson’s Boy Scout Troop 321 continues

Mother’s Day weekend. This year’s sale
takes place on Saturday, May 9, from 8
a.m.-2 p.m.
Patrons are welcome to browse the wide
variety of ferns, hanging flower baskets
and flats of annuals for their home or shop

New 5K race kicks off 2015 Relay for Life
12-hour format replaces 24-hour event
by Judy Stringer
Hudson Relay for Life organizers are
kicking off the 2015 event with a 5K
race. Runners and walkers will take their
mark at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 30. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and an awards
ceremony is planned for 9:15 a.m.
Opening ceremonies for the relay itself
will take place at 10 a.m. This year’s
event is a 12-hour relay rather than the
24-hour format, according to Lindsay
Wolfe, marketing/fundraising lead for
Hudson Relay for Life. It runs from 10
a.m. to 10 p.m. at Lavelli Stadium.
Wolfe said the relay is a family friendly
community event with many fun and
entertaining events throughout the day.
The opening ceremony is followed by
a opening celebration lap, in which all
cancer survivors are encouraged to participate. Relay For Life teams will then
be announced as they parade around
the track.
In addition, “all cancer survivors and
one guest are invited to attend our Survivor Lunch at 11a.m., sponsored and
catered by the Wicked Chafer,” Wolfe
said.
Last year with 18 active teams, Hudson
Relay For Life raised more than $62,000
ScripType Publishing is a member of the
Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce
for the American Cancer Society.
“This year we have raised the bar and set
a goal of raising $63,000,” she said. “Right
now, currently with 10 teams, we have
raised $14,016. The top three teams so
far are Hudson Ministerial with $5,285,
Team Towbridge with $2,110, and Hudson League for Service with $1,480.”
Worlfe encourages the community to
come out on May 30 “in honor of this
amazing event!” ∞
Memorial Day parade
steps off at 10 a.m.
Community groups will join the
Hudson High School Swing Marching Band in the annual Memorial
Day parade through town (along
routes 303 and 91) starting at 10 a.m.
on Monday, May 25, and ending in
a brief service at Markillie Cemetery.
The parade is sponsored and organized by the American Legion. ∞

St. Mary’s program aims to keep older members active, social
by Michele Collins
Many of St. Mary Catholic Church’s
oldest members make up one of its most
active ministries.
The Lifelong Adult Ministry (LAM)
offers an opportunity for church members who are 55 and over to serve their
church and its members, as well as enjoy
social outings in a caring and friendly
atmosphere, according to LAM president
John Soulliere.
The more than 230 current LAM members range in age from 55 to 94 years
young, Soullier said, and many of the
LAM board members and administrators
also serve in other ministries and church
organizations, such the men’s club, golf
league and service circles as well.
In addition, LAM members volunteer
in areas like prayers for the sick, help for
those who have lost a spouse and donations collections for those in need, said
Al Beck, LAM secretary and newsletter
editor, as well as LAM founder. A new
program, called Friendly Visitors, enables
LAM members to visit those in nursing
homes or who are shut-ins, “to provide a

weekly visit, talk and read with them, play
games, solve puzzles or just be a person
who listens,” he said.
One of the most cherished service activities of LAM is as an honor guard at
the funeral of LAM members or spouses.
“We attend the funeral and services with
a group of LAM members. We wear blue
blazers and gray slacks and ties, and we
serve as an honor guard to help the family members and to show our support of
them,” said Soulliere.
Beck said that most members of the
group are retired, but still want to be
active. He said he learned about an adult

Hudson Schools & Citizens Advocate for Reform
in the State Budget Proposal
Hudson City Schools leaders are deeply concerned about Governor John Kasich’s proposed budget, and how it would hurt the district’s 4,679 students and community. Under the proposal, Hudson
stands to lose $2.98 million over the next two years – or 28% of the district’s operating revenue.
7.5”
The impact of the Governor’s proposal is significant to Hudson City Schools. We know this
process is moving forward and there will be changes to the initial proposal. We are watching
carefully to see if there will still be any significant funding reductions to our school district.
7”
What’s at stake in Hudson?
The new funding formula places an even greater burden on local taxpayers to fund their schools.
We have asked our legislators to preserve and improve quality education within the State of
Ohio without taking funds from schools districts. We are not asking for more funds - we are
asking to be held harmless.
Representative Kristina Roegner submitted an Amendment to the HB 64 that includes language to
remove provisions from the bill that proposed the resumption of the phase-out of reimbursements
being paid to school districts and modify provisions providing temporary transitional aid to school
districts so that a district’s transitional aid guaranteed base is equal to its FY 2015 funding.
Our Call to Action:
• Superintendent Phil Herman is updating parents and community members as things are
changing. These updates have been on the district website and have appeared in the
Hudson Hub-Times.
• The Board is asking citizens to send letters to legislators. In addition, they are providing
updates on the status of the budget and district activity during their meetings, which are
aired on HCTV and are live-streamed.
• Hudson citizens are testifying before House Committees.
• The Board sent an official letter to the State.
• School officials continue to meet with our legislators.
• Representative Kristina Roegner met with the Finance Committee and others.
She sponsored Amendment HB64- HC 1020.
• Representative Frank LaRose met with Finance Committee members about the
Budget proposal.
• Citizens have written Letters to the Editor expressing their concerns about the
Budget proposal and wrote letters to legislators supporting Amendment HC-1020.
The Hudson City School District is appreciative of all the citizen and legislative advocacy and support in trying to find a solution that holds the
Hudson City School District harmless from any changes proposed in the
State funding formula.

Shop Hudson First
I have received a number of inquiries
recently concerning what appears to be
numerous store closings. To inform everyone, my response to those inquiries
follows:
The community of Hudson is a wonderful place to raise a family, to learn,
pray, play, grow a business, and shop.
Yes...shop! Up until the township of
Hudson and the village of Hudson
merged in 1994, the stores in Hudson
were dominated by real estate offices and
banks. Oh, there were a “few” restaurants
and some necessity stores, but in reality
the shopping choices were minimal. If
you had any major needs, it meant a
trip out of town. At that time Hudson’s
downtown reflected a truly bygone era.
There really wasn’t much that the township or village governments could do
to provide the incentive to change that
condition.
As the population grew, the clamor
for a better shopping experience became
louder and more urgent. Immediately
after the merger, the new city of Hudson
established the Downtown Roundtable
Committee to study the situation and
develop a viable plan to create a more
beautiful and vibrant Hudson downtown. The First & Main private/public
partnership project was hatched. Last
year we celebrated the 10th anniversary
of this much heralded and successful
project.
We now have many fine restaurants to
choose from for our dining needs, as well
as additional necessity stores, numerous
clothing stores, plus a wonderful variety
of other stores. We have a mixture of
national, regional and local merchants.

While the city participated in developing
the retail model we embrace in Hudson,
it is the responsibility of the private sector to seek out and recruit merchants
to establish and/or locate their stores
here in Hudson. This is in keeping with
the concept of the free market form of
retail economic development. Hudson
helps retail merchants by providing appropriate infrastructure and high quality utility and safety services. Your city
council and city staff have approved a
major renovation of the “street-scape” on
Main Street. This is a wonderful example
of how the city supports its citizens and
the merchants that serve them. (Learn
more about this up-coming project at
hudson.oh.us).
The Hudson market is very desirable
if, and only if, Hudson residents “Shop
Hudson First!” The retail sector of our
country is highly competitive. The
retail sector in Hudson is no different.
It wasn’t that long ago that the option
of the Big Box store (which Hudson
doesn’t allow) or the option of shopping
on-line was not available. Today there
are and it adds to the pressure a local
merchant has to deal with. In addition,
those same local merchants are asked
time and again to contribute to our
local youth programs and a plethora of
other community initiatives. It is only
fair to strongly encourage everyone to
make the extra effort and “Shop Hudson
First!” If every Hudson household spent
an additional $100 of their shopping
budget in Hudson, it would add many
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
Hudson retail market place and to the
possibility that those same stores would
flourish and remain open.
Stores will come and go and that is a
reality of the retail market place. There
will be stores in Hudson that close even
though they are profitable because of a
corporate decision to change the model
of the way they do business. There will
be small merchants that close because
partnerships break up or retirement
comes about. But with every closure,
there will be an opportunity for a exciting new retail business to start here or
expand in Hudson.
Remember...support yourself, support
your wonderful Hudson, and support
the fabulous local merchants who are
here to serve us...

Council approves golf course mowers purchases,
issues moratorium on water code
by Michele Collins
April 7 regular meeting
Hudson City Council met briefly and
passed several items unanimously. The
council authorized the purchase of mowers
for Ellsworth Meadows Golf Course through
a cooperative purchasing program and addressed two items dealing with water requirements in the city. Additional ordinances gave
council the ability to forego audio and video
recording of its workshop meetings.
Council held a third reading of an ordinance that will repeal the equivalency
fee, which is required to be charged to
properties tapping into the Southern Industrial Water Line, although action was
not taken at the April 7 meeting. Another
ordinance, which was passed, established
a moratorium on a land development
code that requires developments to be
served by public water facilities in the city
of Akron water service area in Hudson.
This would suspend the city regulations
that require using public water sources for
approximately six months.
Workshop tapings
In addition, council unanimously
passed an ordinance that will allow Hud-
Living
Art
son City Council Workshop meetings to
use written minutes, rather than audioor video-recorded minutes. City council
members said they feel it is unnecessary to
have staff members come in to videotape
workshop meetings, in which no actions
can be taken. Workshop meetings are
meant for discussion purposes of upcoming items before council. They noted that
workshop meetings are open to the public
to attend, and that a written version of
the minutes will be available following
the workshop.
Trash collection
Councilman Bill Wooldredge said that he
wanted to give his viewpoint on the trash
collection discussion, as he was not at the
meeting in which some of the discussion
took place. He said that the Environmental
Awareness Committee had some excellent
points about how using city-wide or preferred providers for trash collection could
be advantageous to the city. These points
included that it would do less damage to
the city’s roads over time, make less traffic
disruption and save residents money. ∞

Summit Metro Parks opens its first
park in Hudson, Wood Hollow, on
May 19. Six years ago, a Metro Park in
Hudson was not on anyone’s radar. That
is until a resident called Summit Metro
Parks to donate 150 acres, according to
Eppink.
He said the land was donated by an
anonymous donor whose family loved
the parks and the fall hiking spree. This

gift of acreage became the catalyst for
the Wood Hollow Metro Park, at 2121
Barlow Rd.
Wood Hollow park includes 300 acres,
a 55-car parking lot, a fishing pond and
a 1.2-mile natural surface walking trail
called the Downy Loop. The Downy
Loop travels over several bridges and
boardwalks. Trail-hikers should look
for the small woodpecker inhabitants of
wood hollows along the trails, according
to Eppink. The park area also includes
woods and wetlands, a playfield, which
will be started this summer, and planned
restrooms and a picnic shelter.
Participants of the popular Metro
Parks Fall Hiking Sprees will have the
opportunity to visit both the Downy
Loop Trail at Wood Hollow in Hudson,
as well as Liberty Park in Twinsburg, including its new nature center. First time
hiking participants receive a wooden
hiking staff and a commemorative metal
shield from the Metro Parks.
The park district considers Wood Hollow in Hudson a “satellite park.” It will
be maintained by the crew from Liberty
Park in Twinsburg, according to Eppink.

Voters decide library
1.4-mill renewal levy,
with additional .5 mills
As government funding from the state
drops away, the Akron-Summit County
Public Library system is asking for residents’ support at the voting booth. With a
1.4-mill property tax levy passed in 2010
set to expire, a renewal levy with an additional .5-mill increase is on the May 5 ballot. If passed, the measure would amount
to $66.48 annually for homeowners with
a property value of $100,000, beginning
this year and continuing for six years,
with the first assessment due in 2016.
From that annual amount, the renewal
levy would bring in $48.96 per year; the
0.5-mill increase would bring in an additional $17.52 per year.
The library cites that funds generated by
the levy taxes, at a rate not exceeding 1.9
mills for each one dollar of valuation, are
for current operating expenses. Taxes from
the current levy account for about $11
million, or half the library’s annual operating fund. With the additional .5 mills,
about $14.7 million would be generated
annually for the library. ∞

Safe Routes bike and walk to school day is May 13
by Patty Reiman
Safe Routes Hudson has been promoting walking or biking safety since 2011
and is hosting the Spring Bike and Walk
to School Day, which is set for May 13.
The event is part of Safe Routes Hudson’s
educational efforts to encourage students
to make healthy and safe choices about
getting to and from school and around
our community.
In coordination with Hudson City
School District (HCSD), Safe Routes
Hudson invites all children in grades
kindergarten through eighth grade and
who live less than two miles from their
school to ride their bike or walk to school
on May 13. The hope is that biking and
walking to school will become a routine
activity and not just reserved for the
twice-yearly events, explained Brenda
Divine, Safe Routes Hudson coordinator. Another walk and bike to school
event is typically held in the fall, and
more than 500 students participated in
the event last fall.
“We are hoping that our events encourage students to consider walking or
biking on a regular basis,” says Divine.
Safe Routes Hudson is part of National
Safe Routes to School, which combines
nearly 1,000 schools and community
groups, of which 40 are in Ohio. National Safe Routes to School guides community groups to promote biking and
walking through education and events
like the bike and walk to school day.
Although Safe Routes Hudson has been
receiving grant funding since its inception and gains corporate sponsorships for
events, it is looking for new and different
long-term funding options to continue
its safety efforts in Hudson.
In addition to sponsoring walk and
bike events, Safe Routes Hudson produced several safety videos last fall that
featured Hudson City School District
students in front of the camera and
behind the scenes. These videos can
be viewed on saferouteshudson.com
and might soon be used in the Hudson
school buildings during morning video
announcements. Divine said Safe Routes
Hudson is also working with each building’s physical education department to
highlight pedestrian and bike safety and
remind students of safety lessons they
might not have heard since kindergarten

The May event takes place rain or shine
and would be rescheduled only if weather
is a safety issue. In conjunction with the
May 13 event, Safe Routes Hudson is
continuing to promote Walking Wednesdays for those students who live up to
two miles from their school and have a
safe path on which to walk or bike. Flyers
handed out at the event outline the safety
of walking or biking, including the proper
use of crosswalks and looking both ways
before entering a roadway. ∞

“Parents, citizens, community leaders
have all helped in our efforts,” she said.
“The Hudson Police and Hudson school
crossing guards have been amazing and
so supportive of our program each year.”
Cleveland Clinic Family Health &
Surgery Center in Twinsburg returns
as an event sponsor and will station its
representatives at some of the schools to
hand out bottled water and snacks to all
participants on May 13.

evidence-based appropriate therapeutic
approaches to achieve optimal health and

Padd and partner, Dr. James McMinn,
founder and director of the McMinn

operate an online educational portal,
which according to the website, offers
“a refreshing, open-minded, affirming
forum for exploration of sexual health
issues, along with opportunities for
growth in your own sexuality and in your
relationships.”
Along with medical knowledge, the
website offers forums for users to chat
about sexual issues. The topics are presented via Q and A sessions with the doctor and nurse. The website also has a blog
that touches on a variety of sexual issues,
as well as a series of e-classes designed
to inform the public on a similar set of
topics and products that can be used for
a number of issues that plague patients.
“I would like to see the practice evolve
to offering classes for groups of people
on a variety of subjects related to optimal
health and sexual health, given they go
hand in hand,” Padd said. “Furthermore,
I would like to raise an awareness of sexual health in the community… Launching

With three boys in three different Kiwanis baseball leagues, my life is a flurry
of activity at the moment. Although it
would be nice if baseball practice days,
times and locations would coincide just
once, I do enjoy the opportunity to spend
time with my boys outdoors.
As I reflect on the past month, I cannot
help but mention a fabulous trip I took
to Ireland with my sister, Lisa Stacks,
and her family. It was not something I
planned to do – to run off and leave my
husband and children behind over spring
town
break. However, when my sister asked me
to be the tour guide for her family, my
mother offered me her airline miles and
her babysitting services to accommodate
this request, and my husband graciously
agreed to my gallivanting, how could I
refuse?
One of the many highlights of the trip
was getting to spend 10 days with my
niece, Samantha Stacks, a registered
nurse who is half-way through a two-year
stint as a health volunteer with the Peace

At The Hudson
School of Music
by Nikki Custy
Mayo, we visited with cousins on the
family farm where our grandmother grew
up and hiked to the top of Croagh (pronounced crow) Patrick (Ireland’s second
highest mountain).
Later, we traveled to County Clare,
where by a stroke of serendipity we met
up with the Kabat family of York Drive.
Our day with John, Jen, John Jr. and
Katherine began with coffee and tea at
Dromoland Castle, and then we visited
Bunratty Castle & Folk Park together.
(Picture Hale Farm & Village except
much larger and set in the 15th century.)
The Kabats returned to Bunratty Castle
that evening for its famous “medieval
banquet.”
“The Emerald Isle rolled out the green
carpet for our children by embracing
them with genuine, warm hospitality
making them feel treasured,” Jen said.
“Ireland’s history of folklore and fairies
evoked their imaginations – encouraging
daily explorations throughout the enchanting realm of pure boundless beauty
and crusty medieval castles.”
While at the medieval banquet, John
and Katherine attempted to share the
experience with John’s second-grade
class at Ellsworth Hill by connecting via
FaceTime with Mrs. Lukingbeal, his
classroom teacher, and Mrs. Filomena,
Ellsworth Hill Principal. Unfortunately,
the castle’s wireless network worked about
as well as one might expect in a structure
built in 1425.
“The children narrowly escaped the
‘torture hole’ and imprisonment, when
spotted by guardsmen, on accusations of
being sent from ‘The New World’ with
their suspicious-looking iPad,” Jen said.
This past month the MOMS Club of
Hudson and Mothers of Preschoolers
(MOPS) joined forces to hold a diaper
drive for the Portage-Summit Diaper
Bank. Diapers, pull-ups, diaper rewards
certificates, and monetary donations are
still being collected through May 11 to
be distributed to needy families.
“Our two local Hudson organizations
are excited to help the diaper bank with
their mission,” Bernadette Gibson,
Congratulations to Jimmy Sutphin on
being honored at the Lake Forest Country
Club for his many volunteer activities
throughout the Hudson Community
and as a member of St. Mary Church.
Mayor William Currin read aloud a
proclamation at the gathering, declaring
March 26 to be “Jimmy Sutphin Day.”
Rotary President, Joe Avella, presented
Sutphin with the “Jimmy Sutphin Service
Above Self ” award. Sutphin attributes his
penchant for volunteerism in part to his
father, who believed that “the greatest sin
in the world is the sin of ungratefulness.”
Congratulations to Hudson High
School swim coach, Matt Davis, on his
selection as OHSAA Division I Boys
State Coach of the Year. Also kudos to
Hudsonites receiving academic honors at
their respective colleges: Margaret Burton and Lauren Kolar, Pratt Institute and

Entrepreneurial couple pursues recipes for success
by Michelle O’Loughlin
It is not just milk and cookies after
school for Hudson couple Charnita and
Keith Collins.
Charnita Collins is a kindergarten
teacher at Preston Elementary School
in Cuyahoga Falls by day and owner of
Cookie Love Bake Shop by night. Her
husband Keith, who also has an education
degree, is a librarian at Stanton Middle
School in Kent by day and owner of 3
Digital Rock Studios by night.
“Our families are supportive of us running our businesses,” Charnita said. “They
are the ones who encouraged me to move
forward with Cookie Love Bake Shop
when I was a little afraid. Our families
were also the ones who encouraged Keith
to dream big and keep making movies.”
Charnita has been teaching for several years and enjoys her career. Over
the years, she would come home from
school and “play around in the kitchen,”
Charnita said. Her kitchen became her

sistency and flavorful cookies. Keeping
very detailed notes from ingredients used,
prep techniques and baking methods,
Charnita believes, helped her achieve
the consistency she needs for delectable
chocolate chip and fudge chocolate chip
cookies.
At school, Charnita would share her
love of cookiemaking with students,
teaching them to bake.
“People would tell me how much they
liked my cookies and began placing
orders,” she said. “That is how Cookie
Love Bake Shop was born. Now I am
turning my love of baking cookies into
a business.”
Keith and Charnita’s two daughters, a
sixth-grader at Hudson Middle School
and third-grader at McDowell School,
love helping her make cookies and going
on deliveries.
“I believe they like eating the cookies
and being taste testers the best,” Charnita
said. “What sets my cookies apart is I
choose the freshest and best-tasting ingredients for my cookies from the chocolate
to the sweet, creamy butter to achieve the
ultimate cookie.”
“My husband Keith doesn’t really like
sweets, but he can’t pass up one of my
baked cookies,” she added.
Keith may be one of the key taste testers
for Charnita’s cookie business, but he
is also pursuing his life’s dream. Along
with partners Darius Peterson and David
Thomas, Keith started 3 Digital Rock Studios four years ago. The web network offers independent filmmakers a less hectic
avenue for publishing films. Along with
running this web network, Kevin is very
interested in making his own indie films.
For Keith, making films wasn’t his first
pick for a career. Influenced by his father,
who has a black belt in Isshinryu Kajukenpo, Keith wanted to be a stuntman and

Are You Ready For
Golf Season?
by Dr. Andrew T. Brady
If you are one of the 24 million Americans that plays
golf, you probably know how important optimum hip
and low back range of motion is for
a great swing. It is very common for
golfers to have motion restrictions in
their low back and hips, which means
their swing is not as good as it could
be. Although there can be many different causes of low back stiffness
and reduced range of motion, a very
common cause is spinal misalignments, or “stuck” vertebra, resulting
from repetitive rotation. Forceful rotaDr. Andrew

of the low back causing vertebra to
Physician
get stuck and become dysfunctional.
This is why most professional golfers see chiropractic
physicians and will even bring them to competitions.
Many people don’t notice this happening right away, but
over time it can cause disc dehydration and ultimately
degeneration if left uncorrected. If left uncorrected long
enough, it can even begin to cause sciatica (pain going down the leg) and low back pain, which will further
inhibit your swing.
Another problem we often see with golfers is a torqued
pelvis. There are three bones that make up your pelvis:
two hip bones called the ilium and a triangular bone
called the sacrum. A torqued pelvis is basically when
one of the bones in the pelvis gets misaligned. If you
are a golfer that has a torqued pelvis, the power you
generate during the swing will certainly be inhibited because you won’t be able to achieve proper biomechanics throughout your swing. A torqued pelvis can also
cause hip degeneration due to abnormal biomechanics
of the hip. This is similar to driving a car with misaligned
tires; the tires will wear down much faster if they are not
aligned properly.
Both of these common problems can be corrected with
specific spinal adjustments. These adjustments help restore range of motion and can help improve hip and low
back biomechanics. We always see an influx of golfers
this time of year who want to improve their game, so if
you would like to get evaluated to see if you have one
of these common problems, call our office and mention
this article to receive a consultation, examination and
x-ray (if needed) for only $35 ($230 value).

Hudson grad turned sailor serves
on aircraft carrier
by Michele Collins
A 2004 Hudson High School graduate is now serving on the USS Ronald
Reagan aircraft carrier. Petty Officer
2nd Class Genevieve Wanamaker is
an aviation boatswain’s mate-handler
aboard the carrier.
L03 HUDSON
“I am a crash and salvage firefighter GRAD TURNED
in case we have an accident onboard. SAILOR
I’m the fire engine driver,” said Wa- Jessica Wanamaker
namaker.
One of the largest warships in the world, the USS Ronald
Reagan is nearly 1,100 feet long and 252 feet wide. It holds
3,000 sailors plus an aircrew of nearly 2,000, as well as 70 jets,
helicopters and other aircraft and a 4.5-acre flight deck. It serves
as a fully functioning airport in the water. There are currently
only 10 U.S. Naval aircraft carriers in service today.
As a sailor with numerous responsibilities, Wanamaker said she
is proud to serve her country aboard an aircraft carrier and enjoys
meeting people from different backgrounds. She also enjoys the
opportunity to see other parts of the world, one of the reasons
she first joined the Navy.
“I enjoy the opportunities to travel and further my education. I
know I am a much better person for joining the Navy,” she said.
According to a Navy press release, the USS Ronald Reagan,
currently in San Diego, is preparing for a move to Japan. It is
part of the first ever aircraft carrier crew and hull swap. It will
replace the USS George Washington and become part of the U.S.
7th Fleet forward-deployed naval forces in Yokosuka, Japan, in
the near future. Wanamaker will continue to serve her country
onboard the ship. ∞
