Bratenahl’s Chinese New Year Celebration; where did it come from? Does Bratenahl have a disproportionately high number of Chinese descendants as citizens? Or, is it the number of dog owners in Bratenahl, as this is the year of the dog?

To answer that question we have to look back over 20 years to my neighbor Nanita Hom. She was of half Chinese and half Filipino heritage, and she did have dogs (Chows as I remember). And, she had a relative with a restaurant in Cleveland’s China-town which needed (as all business do) a bit more business. So, back in the early 90s she began the tradition of having her Bratenahl friends and neighbors celebrate Chinese New Year’s at the Li Wah restaurant.

This Bratenahl Chinese New Year Celebration has continued over the years for two reasons: the first being the food. It would be difficult for anyone to find a traditional Chinese New Year’s feast like this one on their own. Secondly, the people who participate, your neighbors and friends. It is wonderful to be able to share this kind of event.

In recent years, the management and promotion of the event has been taken on by the Bratenahl 100. For 2018, the Bratenahl 100 has partnered with the Bratenahl Community Foundation to host this event. This is the perfect event for the Bratenahl Community Foundation to participate in because it furthers our goal to build community. This event gives Bratenahl residents an opportunity to have fun, sharing a great experience with their friends, connecting with neighbors, and meeting new neighbors.

I love this event, and I will be in attendance again this year for the upteenth time, and I’d sure like to see you all there.

Village Profile - Kathy Skerritt, Renaissance Woman Joe Klinehamer

On the surface, Kathy Skerritt

is one of us, a citizen of Bratenahl,

living in our at-once dynamic

and bucolic village. Beneath the

surface is a keen mind driving a

prodigious artistic talent exploring

how to make visible the patterns

that connect us across apparent

differences.

Most essentially, Kathy is a

practitioner of art as a participatory process of empathy with

the viewer. She explores an “alchemy” between hand, paint

and canvas that ideally decentralizes the ego of the artist and

elevates a sense of what is both mysterious and yet somehow

familiar. Color is important, texture is empowering, but the

message of an image is received in a unique way by each

who chooses to interact with it in a thoughtful manner.

Educated in art at Marietta College and Carnegie Mellon

University, and schooled in Organizational Development

with a Masters at Case Weatherhead, Kathy is something of a

Renaissance Woman. She is co-founder of The Anthroposphere

Institute, an organization dedicated to exploring the framework

of the “global commons” as a model of governance. She also

organized and hosted an 85-mile, Indigenous-led walk of the

Cuyahoga River as a form of “action research” into ways

of knowing self in relation to place. Her unfinished doctoral

thesis – “An Artful and Beautiful Knowing: toward a praxis

of resilience” – has been received as an elegant account of

noticing beauty as a practice of resilience in the face of

the tragic, both personal and planetary.

To know Kathy is to participate in an elegant fusion of keen

mind, exceptional education, stunning artistic skills, and

compelling life mission. Her studio (by appointment

440-785-1905) is located at Article, 15316 Waterloo Road

One of her pieces of art is featured on this month’s cover.

About Our Cover Thanks to Kathy Skerritt for providing our cover image this month. Kathy’s art is entitled, “Clearing at Dusk.” Kathy defines this piece of art as mixed media on canvas, and part of a collection of Kim Schoel, Cleveland. When I look at it, it reminds me a little of those pesky February icicles that have been hanging routinely outside my office window during this cold winter of 2018. Thanks again to Kathy. For more information about her, see her Village Profile from Joe Klinehamer.

Legally Speaking Real Estate– Chattel Or FixtureNorman Stark, Attorney, Architect Emeritus

Query: When does a chattel become a fixture to real estate?

Answer: Courts have been called upon regularly to resolve disputes between sellers, buyers and creditors regarding ownership in the sale and transfer of goods as well as in real estate transactions.

While courts in various jurisdictions have applied different tests to explain and distinguish the difference, the Ohio Supreme Court provided a three-part test for determination of the three elements by which a chattel is considered a fixture:

(1) First, to become a fixture it is essential that the chattel in question be annexed (fastened, connected, or fixed) to some extent to the realty.

(2) Second, the chattel must have an appropriate application (necessity, or adaptation) to the use or purpose to which the realty to which it is attached, is devoted.

(3) Third, there must be an actual or apparent intention upon the part of the owner of the chattel in affixing it to the realty to make such chattel a permanent part of such realty.”

Black’s Law Dictionary defines a fixture as “…personal property that is attached to land or a building and that is regarded as an irremovable part of the real property, such as a fireplace built into a home.” Chattels have been distinguished as articles of personal property, easily movable and not affixed to the land.

As an integral part of Roman law, fixtures were a class of real property, where objects used in a house for permanent service were considered realty, whereas objects serving for temporary purposes were held as mere fixtures. English Courts also distinguished the differences, based upon the physical characteristics of physical attachment, which defined some objects as fixtures. Courts in other jurisdictions have, in their decisions, relied upon the provisions of Article 9 of the UCC – the Uniform Commercial Code, which permit establishment of a priority among creditors to determine rightful ownership.

To avoid any potential ambiguity or dispute as to ownership, the preparation of documents for the sale and transfer of real property, requires careful definition and experienced legal drafting, with clarity!

Bratenahl Place Photo Show Pamela Barron

The 50th Anniversary celebration with a Photo Show, featured the works of Bratenahl Place residents. There were 77 works displayed representing 18 artists. Four of the works were by noted Cleveland photographer Jennie Jones, a former Bratenahl Place resident. The images ranged in size, subject matter and location. There were wonderful images of animals, children, buildings, sunsets, Bratenahl Place and Cleveland landmarks, seasonal scenes and foreign travelogue photos.

Over 130 residents and friends attended the show, which opened with a Wine-Cheese reception on October 20, catered by the Bratenahl Place Bistro. The installation was in the Garden Court of One Bratenahl Place.

There were three Audience Choice Awards: First Prize won by Judy Henschel; Second Prize, won by Laura Goyanes, and two who tied for Third Prize: Dr. Ted Westbrook and Maggie Jorgensen.

The Photo Show was the next to last event in a series of 10 planned celebratory offerings, which included an Art Show, two Lectures, a Picnic, a Pool Party, two Suite Open Houses and the opening Dinner Dance Gala. Our year of celebrations officially concluded with the 50th Anniversary Holiday Party in early December.

B Y G O N EBratenahl 10316 Brighton Road Bill Beckenbach, Bratenahl Historical Society

Guerdon and Elinor Holden had this home built in 1925. After Guerdon’s sister, Delia White, and her husband decided to leave their town home at 8907 Lake Shore Boulevard, Guerdon, the only surviving son of Liberty Holden, reluctantly took possession of Loch Ham and left his Brighton Road home.

Brigham and Gertrude Britton purchased this 2,641 square-foot home in 1930.

Brigham “Boots” Britton was born June 20, 1907 in Cleveland to Charles and Ann Britton. He was named in honor of their close friendship with Brigham Young and grew up at 10211 Lake Shore Boulevard, graduating from University School in 1925 and Yale University in 1929. He worked briefly in his father’s Britton-Gardner Printing Company while establishing his own company.

On May 1, 1929 Boots and his brother, Philip started Carter Products Corporation in a small Carnegie Avenue storefront to make metal specialties.

Brigham married Gertrude Haskell on October 10, 1931. It was the marriage of two prominent Bratenahl families. They had two sons, Charles Schuyler II, born July 6, 1932, and Coburn Haskell born December 29, 1935. Both attended Bratenahl School.

Gertrude Haskell was born in Cleveland May 21, 1909 to Mary Gertrude and Coburn Haskell. She was privately tutored at her 11719 Lake Shore Boulevard home, until she attended Bishop Strong’s School in Toronto. An attack of pneumonia brought her back home until she later attended Miss Hall’s School for Girls in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. She studied art education in New York and then returned to Cleveland.

Brigham’s business career was interrupted while he served as a Major in the Army Air Corps during World War II with duty in the Aleutian Islands.

In 1949 Carter Products switched to plastics and pioneered the extrusion field. Carter became the first company in America to make the lightweight plastic pipe used widely by oil and gas industries. On August 9, 1950, Carter Products became Carlon Products Corporation to match the plastic pipe’s trade name, and by that time it had become the world’s largest manufacturer of plastic pipe.

The Brittons were instrumental in the founding and operation of the Bratenahl Development Corporation and held title at one time to the residences of Ralph Coe, Charles Henry Strong and Abram Garfield. They were also principal supporters of the

Bratenahl School Plan that provided scholarships for Cleveland school children to attend Bratenahl schools. In the crucial period of the 1960s and 1970s, no family played a more instrumental role in the survival of the village and its schools.

In 1952, Gertrude was a founder and served as Vice-President of the Britton Fund, making grants to United Way Services and other charitable organizations in Ohio. In addition, she was a founder and president of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History Women’s Committee.

Gertrude enjoyed interior and exterior decoration and designed and restored homes as a hobby. She designed a halfway house for clients of Hill House, a mental health organization, and helped build and restore a number of area homes. As an artist, she worked with ceramics and modeling clay.

Gertrude Britton served as volunteer, teaching arts and crafts to patients at the U.S. Marine Hospital on Fairhill Road. She was also involved with the Natural History Museum, the Junior League of Cleveland, Planned Parenthood, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital, and the United Negro College Fund.

The family built a powerboat in their basement and had to knock out a wall to remove the boat. The boat was launched successfully and even went to Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie’s South Bass Island. When it was too much for them to handle, the boat was turned over to the Mentor Harbor Yacht Club to be used by judges during races and regattas.

Britton remained Carlon’s president until 1957, when he became board chairman, retiring two years later. He was a member of the Chagrin Valley Hunt, Mentor Harbor Yacht, Kirtland Country and Tavern clubs plus the Glen Arven Country Club in Thomasville, Georgia. Brigham was also Commodore of the Kolledgiwdgwok Yacht Club in Blue Hill, Maine, where the Brittons maintained a summer home.

The Brittons purchased Gertrude’s late aunt Kate Ireland’s estate from Kate’s son Robert Livingston Ireland, Jr. in 1946 and in 1950 moved to the restored carriage house at 11801 Lake Shore Boulevard.

R. Henry and Elizabeth Norweb Jr. acquired the home in 1950. Raymond Henry Jr. was born in a Paris cellar during an air raid in 1918 during World War I to R. Henry and Emery May Norweb, while his father was secretary to Ambassador William G. Sharp. He was the great-grandson of Liberty Holden and the grandson of Albert Holden. Although he referred to Katewood as his childhood home, he was raised in the Netherlands and South America, except for when he and his brother and sister stayed with their great uncle, Guerdon Holden, at Loch Hame, in 1921 and 1922 while his parents were in Japan.

Henry graduated from Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts in 1936. He earned a bachelor’s degree at Harvard University four years later. He then worked for the Plain Dealer as a reporter.

In 1941, Norweb enlisted and served with the 107th Cavalry. He went through Officers Training School in Monmouth, New Jersey and became an Army Air Forces captain when discharged five years later.

In 1944, Henry, a navy officer, married Elizabeth “Libby” Gardner, daughter of Albert and Zelma Gardner. of Farming-ton, Franklin County, Maine. After the war, they moved to Bratenahl. The Norwebs had three children: Raymond Henry III born February 14, 1947, Emery May (Miller) born July 18, 1949, and Constance Elizabeth born April 30, 1952.

He served on Bratenahl Council 1950 to 1955 and became Mayor replacing Edward Garfield in 1956.

Henry worked in the engineering department and as a sales-man for WHK Radio until he switched to Enamel Products Co. in 1951 and named general manager in 1958. The next year Mr. Norweb became the first executive director of the Holden Arboretum founded by his grandfather, Albert Holden.

Norweb was president of the Salvation Army Advisory Board for Northeastern Ohio. He served on the executive committee of the Blossom Site Committee for the Cleveland Orchestra and was a trustee of the Musical Arts Association. He was also a trustee of the Cleveland Audubon Society, Western Reserve Historical Society, Fine Arts Garden Commission, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Play House, Cleveland Society for the Blind and John Huntington Fund for Education.

Henry died June 6, 1995 following a fall at his Boothbay Harbor, Maine residence. Libby died June 1, 2007. Both are buried in Lake View Cemetery.

George and Suzette Pierson purchased the home August 9, 1983. The home has sadly deteriorated in recent years and there is the possibility of it being razed. That would be a shame considering this beautiful home with a rich history of occupants.

Bratenahl’s Police Department Outreach Mary Beckenbach

We all know that our Bratenahl Village Police Department is the very BEST! Not only do they keep all of us safe and secure, but I have discovered that our wonderful officers also participate and volunteer in the greater Cleveland community.

On December 9, 2017 members of the Bratenahl Police Department shared in the annual “Shop with a Cop” program where officers accompany underprivileged children to a store where the child may purchase Christmas gifts for their immediate family. The program offers assistance at Christmas time to residents with limited financial resources. The purpose of the event is to foster positive relationships between the youth and officers.

The Bratenahl FOP Lodge #81 has sponsored youth in previous years, but what made this year so special is that they had the opportunity to help a family from right here in Bratenahl. A long-time village family from East 140th Street just added custody of two nieces and a nephew to their own three children, making it even more difficult to makes ends meet.

FOP #81 sponsored all six children to a $150.00 Christmas shopping spree. Each child, accompanied by a Bratenahl police officer, was able to select their own gifts from the Target store in Macedonia. The kids got to ride in a Bratenahl Police car, first to breakfast and then in a huge caravan with other participating area police departments to go shopping. At the end of the shopping spree, all enjoyed a pizza party.

This year’s Santas in blue included Sergeant Mike Flanagan and his wife Joyce; Patrol Officer Shana Szalay; Patrol Officer Tim O’Haire and his wife Celeste; and Patrol Officer Jeremy Harper. A great day was had by all! The spirit of the holidays was in full effect.

What Will You Have? French 76 Champagne CocktailArlene Kemejak

We must first appreciate what champagne is and how it came to be before we put champagne to glass. The only thing that can truly be called champagne is sparkling wine from the grapes in the Champagne region of France, because rules that demand a second fermentation in the bottle creates the carbonation from specific vineyard practices in the appellation. It is illegal to label any product champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region in accordance with Comite Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are primarily used.

In the 5th Century or earlier, the Romans were the first to plant vineyards in Northeast France. Contrary to popular belief, the monk Dom Perignon did not invent sparkling wine. He was the production and quality control guy. Benedictine Monks invented Blanquette de Limoux, the oldest recorded sparkling wine in the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in 1531. The first sparkling champagne was created accidently, as the pressure in the bottle led it to be called “the devil’s wine.” The bubbles were a boo-boo as they caused the bottles to explode or the corks to pop out.

Dom Perignon was ordered by his superiors at the Abbey of Hautvillers to get rid of the bubbles since the pressure in the bottles made many of them burst in the cellars leading to a potential loss of 90% of the bottled wines. Cellar workers had to wear heavy iron masks to prevent injury from the spontaneous combustion.

These are the following types of champagne: Prestige cuvee, which is the top best, blanc de noir meaning “white from blacks” for a white wine produced from black grapes, blanc de blanc “white from whites” which is exclusively chardonnay grapes and rose’ champagne or “pink champagne.” Sweetness levels vary from extra brut which is the least sweet, to brut, to extra dry, to sec, to demi-sec and finally doux which the sweetest. Champagne corks are built from three sections. It starts out as a cylinder and is compressed prior to inserting it in the bottle. Over time, the cork looks like a mushroom.

Marketing led to champagne seen as a royal and aristocratic drink. These days even rapper Jay Z got into the act. He bought a stake in Armand de Brignac Champagne nicknamed “Ace of Spades.” Hip-hop fans might think it a bit much at over $300 a bottle plus $65 for the black lacquered bottle holder that comes with it. “Ace of Spades” is a party in a bottle, and the only champagne available is the 30-liter “Midas” size.

Trouble and Champagne sometimes go together. Two Russian footballers, who played for Mother Russia in the Euro 2016 in France, were punished and sent down to the minors after being seen partying in Monte Carlo, and surrounded by champagne that cost 250,000 euros. Trays of champagne were being served with sparklers to the tune of the Russian National Anthem. Well, no need to get into that kind of trouble over champagne! Pop open splits of “POP” champagne at $45 for a four pack and have a champagne cocktail with your friends in honor of champagne.

French 76 Cocktail 2 ounces of vodka (it’s called French 75 if you use gin) 1 teaspoon simple syrup ½ ounce fresh lemon juice Dash of cognac or brandy 4 ounces POP champagne

Pour liquor, juice, syrup and brandy into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake, strain and pour into your favorite glass. Fill it with champagne. If you like, put an amarena fabbri cherry in it or a thin lemon peel.

As Dom Perignon is thought to have said: “Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!”

“Gong Hei Fat Choy” – Happy Chinese New Year! Jeannie Emser Schultz

Woof! February 16th kicks off the global Chinese New Year celebration of… Year of the Dog. To discover if you are a “Dog,” start with 1922, and then add 12 years consecutively. Or go to chinesehighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac to discover which of the other 11 zodiac sign animals you are. Oddly enough, when your Chinese zodiac birth year comes around, that year is considered unlucky for you!

To the contrary and for Bratenahl, the Year of the Dog will be “lucky” for everyone. On March 2, the Bratenahl Community Foundation joins Bratenahl 100 to host the annual 10-course Chinese New Year’s Feast at Li Wah restaurant. (See page 8 for details and how to make reservations.)

Chinese New Year is the most important celebration in China, and children are expected to return home to celebrate with family. Because Chinese parents put a lot of pressure on their children to procreate and carry on the family name, it’s not uncommon for children to “rent” a fake girl-or-boyfriend to keep their parents off their backs

There are many superstitions and traditions that Chinese associate with the New Year. “Red” is the lucky and ubiquitous color you will see in clothes, decorations and the small red envelopes given to friends containing “lucky” money. On New Year’s Day you are forbidden to shower, and a certain number of days must pass before you may sweep the house or take out the garbage, less you “sweep the good luck from the house.”

If you were born in the Year of the Dog, you are considered loyal, honest, kind and prudent. Who are some of the famous “Dogs”? Winston Churchill, Bill Clinton, Mother Teresa, Donald Trump, George Bush, Jr., Golda Meir, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince William.

From Mary Beckenbach: A well deserved Shout Out of thanks to our dedicated mayor for the past 16 years, John Licastro. John’s commitment to Bratenahl has always been remarkable. In addition to his regular mayoral duties, January’s freezing temperatures brought the Village some extra challenges. The Village experienced a water main break, some driveways were not shoveled, two residents were without electricity for a short time, several residents received excessive water bills and one resident needed a special rubbish pickup. The Mayor made sure that all of these issues were resolved in a timely manner. Thank you, John!

From Bill Beckenbach: A Shout Out to both the boards of the Bratenahl 100 and the Bratenahl Community Foundation for once again hosting their annual holiday parties. Shoreby Club was the site for the Bratenahl 100 Holiday Party and the Bratenahl Bistro was the site for this year’s BCF Holiday Party. Both were well attended and nicely put together. If you did not attend them, put them on your calendar for next year. You’ll be glad you did.

From Kathy Jones: Shout Out to Officer Jake Messinger, who was sworn in as Sergeant at the November Village Council meeting. Sergeant Messinger has been with the Bratenahl Police Department for 8 years and will join the leadership team of the Bratenahl Police

V I L L A G E SHOUT OUTSwith this appointment. Described by Chief Dolbow as, “One of our most productive road officers,” Sergeant Messinger is in charge of the DUI Task force. He has been winning top awards from MADD since 2011 and is one of the few drug recognition experts certified in the State of Ohio. Sergeant Messinger is currently working on becoming a crime scene expert. (photo)

From Arelene Kemejak: Congratulations to Bratenahl resident Randi M. Ostry and E.J. Thomas of New Albany, Ohio, who recently announced their engagement. Randi serves as Secretary on the Board of Trustees for the Shoreby Club and on the Board of Directors for the Bratenahl Community Foundation. Randi, an attorney of 30 years, serves Attorney General Mike DeWine as Director of Statewide Substance Use Education & Business Initiatives, advising on matters involving the opioid epidemic. E.J., currently President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio, formerly served for eight terms in the Ohio House of Representatives where he chaired the Ways & Means and the House Finance & Appropriations Committee in succession. He is a retired USAF Colonel with 32 years experience as an instructor pilot and is credited with flying 33 missions during Operation Desert Storm. A wedding is slated for summer of 2019. The couple plans on maintaining residences in Bratenahl and central Ohio, and will be spending time at Lakeside Chautauqua in their getaway that has been in the family for a quarter century.

From John Licastro: A Shout Out of thanks and mention to the “Heritage Home Pro-gram.” Along with being a member of the Cleveland Restoration Society, Bratenahl is also a member of the Heritage Home Program, which offers loans, technical assistance and advice to homeowners who qualify. This can include anything from remodeling to water-proofing, home upgrades, as well as other similar projects for your home. In the spring, look for a mailing from me that will provide more details.

From the BCF: A Shout Out to Larry Domin as well as Dr. Stephen and Kathy Jones. Last fall, the BCF Board paid one last tribute of thanks to Larry Domin for his many years of service as BCF President.

From the BCF: A proud Shout Out to our city of Cleveland for being named by The National Geographic Traveler to its Annual Best of the World list.

From the BCF: Thanks to Donald and Dorothy (Dot) Campbell for sponsoring this issue of the Lamplighter. As you may know, Don Campbell recently passed away over the holidays. Our sincerest condolences to the entire Campbell family.

From Karen Knavel: New Avenues to Independence is immensely grateful for the generous donation from the Bratenahl Community Foundation. Your continued support has helped us reach 83% of the funds

needed to renovate the kitchen of our Bratenahl home for women with developmental disabilities. We are now just $3,800 away from providing a beautiful, accessible kitchen for the ladies who live there!

• A policy to deal with and manage Air B & B and similar rental agencies.

• A new policy regarding rentals in the Village

• Police/Service Departments needs and wants, including personnel, equipment and training.

• Close watch of our revenue and expenditures. Cuts from the State to local governments have impacted our budget. Fluctuations in income tax collections are factored in our projections for 2018.

• Coordinating with NEORSD of the continuing tunneling and pump station project south of the Memorial Shoreway. This also includes upgrades at the NEO Easterly Sewage Treatment Plant in 2018/19 and the impact it has on our residents that live in close proximity.

• The future use of CMSD’s former BBB Professional Development Center. This might be back on the table.

• Long-term strategy on taxes and finances in light of loss of Estate Tax, Local Government Fund and above- mentioned projects. This includes consolidating debt that would create a long-term revenue stream for repayment. This would need to be decided by residents in a ballot initiative.

I would like to recognize and thank our Police Department, led by Chief Rich Dolbow and Lt. Chuck LoBello. I also want to thank and recognize our hardworking and competent Village Staff, including Tom Cornhoff, Village Fiscal Officer; Diana Cooks, Deputy Village Fiscal Officer; Julie Kreiner, Clerk of Courts; Angela Fernandez; Deputy Clerk of Courts, Joe Zalar, the head of our Service Department and his men, Tom Jamieson and Mary Ranney, who comprise our Building Department; and Sue Capello, Recreation Program Director. There isn’t enough room to thank all the volunteers who comprise our Boards and Commissions. The Village is fortunate to have them. I would also like to thank members of Village Council – also volunteers - for their hard work and dedication.

Village government has, in my memory, always functioned bottom up, not top down. As elected officials, we look for residents’ input and guidance to help make the correct decisions for our Village. That, in turn, allows Bratenahl to be on the proper path. Thank you for your feedback.

We look forward to a safe and prosperous 2018.

We hope to see you at our meetings. I close, as always, with the refrain from the Bratenahl School song:

…she is the best, the very best, all Hail to Bratenahl!

The View from Village Hall Mayor John Licastro

I am pleased to submit the 2018 State of the Village of Bratenahl Report, an annual requirement under the Ohio Revised Code.

The Village’s effort to implement the Facilities Study portion of the Master Plan has come to fruition with the building of the new Service Garage at 57 Garfield Lane. The cost of these structures, including maintenance building, salt storage structure and office, is approximately $2,160,000. The Village borrowed the monies, made possible given our excellent fiscal rating. The next step in this process is:

An Upgrade to the Bratenahl Community Center. Bill Doty Architects Inc. spearheaded this project, which included the Recreation Needs Survey, which was sent to all residents. A final report was given at a Town Hall held in early December of 2017. The power point is available on our website www.bratenahl.org. I would expect Village Council to move this project forward, using the feedback we have received from the residents. Timing, options and funding will be discussed.

The Master Plan process will continue in 2018 with the pursuit of a marketing plan for Bratenahl. Monies have been appropri-ated for this purpose. We need to share the wonderful attributes of our community with the region. This should improve property values, etc.

The other major project for consideration in 2018/19 is to begin the resurfacing of Lakeshore Boulevard. It is my opinion that this project is best approached in phases. LSB west of Bratenahl Road is a Village Road. East of Bratenahl Road is a County road. The west end is most in need of repair, along with the sewer system. I am recommending that we apply to the District One Public Works Integrating Committee (DOPWIC) for funding in program year 2019. These monies from the State of Ohio are available for the repair and replacement of infrastructure. Communities apply for these funds and are awarded on a competitive basis. The Village has been successful in the past, obtaining two zero interests loans for our Side Street Projects, Phases One and Two. One of these loans will be paid off in 2019. Our application will request both a grant and loan. Having chaired DOPWIC for a number of years I know the inner workings of this committee and am hopeful that we will be successful.

Other items on our agenda include, but are not limited to:

• Continued maintenance of our roads, sewer and water systems. We will seek assistance from the County and NEORSD in regard to sewer projects.

• Green space upkeep and access. Davey Resource Group has completed Phase One. Phase Two is being considered.

• Pursuit of grants for any/all Village projects.

Bratenahl Shade Tree Commission Ohio Remains No. 1 in Nation for Tree City USA Communities

For the 36th consecutive year, Ohio was recognized as the nation’s leader in Tree City USA communities with 243 participating cities, villages and townships.

“We are proud to have so many Ohio communities recognize the value trees provide to their neighborhoods and residents,” said Robert Boyles, Ohio’s state forester. “These trees help provide Ohio’s cities with cleaner air and water, better storm water control, cooler, quieter streets and attractive landscapes.”

As part of this nationwide program, Ohioans last year planted more than 27,000 trees, pruned more than 81,000 trees, volunteered more than 50,000 hours in their urban forestry programs and invested a combined total of $40.8 million toward urban forestry efforts.

Since 1979, the ODNR Division of Forestry has assisted communities in enhancing the quality of life within cities and villages through comprehensive urban forestry programs. Ohio’s original Tree City USA communities were: Springfield, Westerville and Wooster. In 1997, Ohio became the first state to have more than 200 Tree City USA communities.

Tree City USA was designed to encourage better care of the nation’s community forests by awarding recognition to communities that meet four basic standards of a good tree care program: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

The Tree City USA program, created in 1976, is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Conference of Mayors, National League of Cities and the National Association of State Foresters.

Note: Bratenahl has proudly been a Tree City USA community for the past eight years.

New Bratenahl Service Garage and Salt Storage Facility Update Mary Beckenbach

Please take a moment to view the photos of the Service Garage and Salt Storage facility. These photos were taken the first and second week of January 2018. The project is moving forward and I am very pleased with the results so far. All building foundations have been completed. The flooring for the office building has been completed, the major building steel has been erected and the roof insulation has been attached to the building structure. The office framing and the masonry walls began construction the first week of January.

Service Director Joe Zalar and the Building Department remain well involved and continue to oversee and review the entire project. All of us look forward to seeing the final completion of our new service facility on Garfield Lane.

Donald Broughton Campbell (1929 - 2017)

Passed away on 12/11/17 at the age of 88. Don was a loving husband, father, grandfather, avid sailor and gardener, successful businessman and friend to numerous people. He was born on January 3, 1929 in St. Louis, MO. He graduated from Oklahoma State and entered the US Army where he became a Lieutenant tank commander in Korea. He married the love of his life, Dorothy Reed of Waco, Texas, who was his wife for 61 years. He grew up outside of Philadelphia and spent his summers on the Jersey shore where he developed a lifelong love of the hospitality business and the sea. Don sailed his yacht “Carib” on the Great Lakes and cruised the North Channel of Georgian Bay in the summers. Campbell enjoyed a successful business career, starting out with Alsonett Hotels as a traveling trouble-shooter. He became general manager of the landmark Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee in 1959. He moved to Cleveland in 1963 to join SOHIO and started Hospitality Motor Inns in 1965, taking it public in 1972 as CEO. He spent the last 15 years of his career as president of Kenny King Corp. Campbell was an active member in many local clubs and charitable organizations. His most fond civic memory was as a board member of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. He was a long time active member of The Shoreby Club and Bluecoats. Campbell is the beloved father of four children and their spouses, 14 grandchildren and 3 in-laws. He was known for his wisdom, kindness, humor and strong moral convictions. In addition to raising his family and having a successful business career, Don always found time to mentor people who benefited from his encouragement and practical advice. Today, his family mourns their loss but count themselves blessed because they all benefited from his consistent love and support.

Mary Jones Chilcote (1926- 2017)

Longtime One Bratenahl Place resident Mary Jones Chilcote died on December 18, 2017 at the age of 91. Mrs. Chilcote began life blessed by fate. Her mother Caroline was a survivor of the Titanic disaster of 1912. Her good fortune continued as she was blessed with gifts both intellectual and athletic. She graduated with honors from Laurel School in Shaker Heights, where she was known as a “mathematical shark” and from Smith College, also with honors, in 1944. An avid sportswoman throughout her life, she excelled in field hockey, golf and tennis. It was at the bridge table, however, that Mrs. Chilcote’s star shone brightest. She became a nationally renowned player, representing the United States at the World Olympiad in 1974. She was named a GRAND Life Master in 1996. Mrs. Chilcote served her community through her work with The Junior League and as a volunteer at MacDonald House of University Hospitals. She is survived by her husband of 67 years, William, her three sons, and numerous grandchildren.

Anne Des Rosiers (1938-2017)

Died on November 12 at her home in One Bratenahl Place. Ms. Des Rosiers enjoyed a long and successful career in the field of nonprofit arts management, marketing, and fundraising. Her strong leadership skills were first seen in Salt Lake City through her work at the Temple Kol Ami. She sought to raise the role of women in the congregation, becoming one of the first women to sit on the temple’s Board of Directors. She also served as president of the temple’s Sisterhood. In 1978, Anne’s career as a development director for regional theater was launched at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, where she honed her skills in both marketing and fundraising. It was during this time that she began her association with Cleveland’s Great Lakes Theatre, acting as a consultant for the theater during its challenging move from suburban Lakewood to its home in the refurbished Ohio Theatre in Playhouse Square. After moving to Cleveland in 1989, Ms. Des Rosiers continued to work with GLT, becoming its managing director (CEO). At the Jewish Community Center of Cleveland, Ms. Des Rosiers gave her time as a consultant, helping the center to clarify as a priority its commitment to the arts, education, and social services. Her love of travel continued throughout her life, including a trip around the world several years ago. Known for her tenacity, courage, and determination, Ms Des Rosiers’s life was dedicated to leaving the world a better place than she found it. Her contributions will live on into the future.

Arlene J. Jones (1929-2018)

Passed away peacefully on January 9 at the age of 88, at the Cleveland Clinic hospice with her family by her side. Ms. Jones was the mother of Bratenahl Village Councilwoman Joyce Burke-Jones (Thomas Zung), Janis Jones and Jeanne Jones (Rev. Terrence O’Brien), and grandmother to Andrea Carmichael and Caitlin O’Brien. The Chicago native met her late husband of 60 years, Evan A. Jones (Art), while attending Northwestern University where she was a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. After raising their family in the Chicago area, they retired, splitting their time between Florida and Colorado. Later she moved to Bratenahl to be close to her family and where she enjoyed her Bratenahl Bridge Group, Club 55, Bratenahl Blooms and Bratenahl Book Club. Her elegance, warmth and infectious smile radiated to all those around her. She will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery with her World War II Purple Heart recipient husband.

Forever missed, never forgotten, held always in our hearts with love.
