Ridgefield Developments June 2015 Volume 13, Issue 1

President’s Message - Jeff Black

Our community newsletter is one of our development’s gems and a product of many

volunteer hours. But our newsletter is not “free.” The cost of printing and mailing

(over $1,800.00 per issue) has been entirely supported by advertisers. The efforts to

obtain enough advertisers to support this cost has been a labor of several volunteers

whose numbers and energies are dwindling. Time spent calling, soliciting, collect-

ing and processing payments is time that our team would rather be spending on

other more pleasurable activities.

The time has come to consider costs, use of our time and energy, and hence, the

most efficient and effective ways of getting information to our residents. With our

technological advances, it makes sense at this juncture to turn to electronic media.

Our development has a new website that allows for immediate posting of our newsletter with easy access by

all residents. No printing or mailing! We would no longer need the team of volunteers to solicit for and col-

lect advertising dollars (although we could still welcome advertisers!). We would no longer need to submit

the newsletter weeks in advance and wait on the printer and post office.

However, we want to be sensitive to those who have no access to computers or who struggle with technology.

For those people who require their newsletter in printed form, we can make copies available for pick up at the

Rec Center for a nominal charge.

We are hoping to transition to electronic or web site newsletter by 2016. We would like to hear from you re-

garding your need to have this product in print form. Please see the enclosed survey, which we hope you will

complete and return.

With the new newsletter, we will also have the advantage of publishing more frequently and would like to con-

sider more information and articles of interest to our residents. On that topic we are looking for a few people

who might be interested in conducting interviews and writing stories.

We will also seek contributions from any resident who has a story or special interest area to talk about.

We will be looking for some folks to review these contributions and help with this new format.

Please take a minute to review the enclosed survey. You can respond via e-mail to Sue Pray, chairperson of

our communications committee at [email protected] or drop your response at the Rec. Center.

See the Newsletter Survey Insert

Reminder: ALL changes to the exterior of your house, or the aesthetic appearance of the property, require

submission of an Architectural Review Request form (available at the Rec Center) for review and approval

before proceeding.

Club Corner - Mary Anne Kohl

By the time this newsletter hits the stands I can safely say, you missed out! You missed playing Bunko until

next September! Although the numbers are down, the fun is not. I challenge you to join us in September thru

May. Bunko is played the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Rec Center. Cost is $5.00 with

the money going towards prizes for that night. Refreshments are served. Most people have calendars that go

into September so why not mark yours now and join the fun. It’s easy and a good way to stay connected.

Canasta players don’t like to take the summer off so we play right thru. We meet the first and third Thursday

of every month, year around, at 7:00 pm in the Rec Center. Each table sets the “rules” for that night. Some-

times we have refreshments! We’re usually done by 9:00 pm. If that’s your favorite TV night, set your DVR!

Newcomers are always welcome, we’re patient and will help you learn. We’re there for the social aspect!

Call me at 731-3229 for more info.

The Scrabble group will be getting together on Tuesdays, 2:00 pm at the Rec Center. All levels are invited.

For more info call Louise at 440-864-2530.

Fire, Potholes & “Stuff” By Dr. Ron Arndt

Ward 3 Councilman (PC~~Councilperson)

As I am writing this it is less then two weeks before the May 5th election and

the results of the vote on the three renewals (Issues 17, 18 and 19) are un-

known to me. It is my hope that all three are passed. Regardless of the out-

comes, as your Ward 3 Councilman and Ridgefield resident, I thought it

would be valuable to describe several positive things happening in our City.

I want to share with you current updates regarding our Fire, Service Depart-

ment and “stuff” that is noteworthy. If you could read many of the emails

and listen to some of the phone messages I receive claiming that I and your

other City leaders are inept, “stupid” and wanting to “line our pockets”, you

would think the City is going to-hell-in-a-handbag. I am declaring the con-

traire! Your City Council and the Administration worked hard during ap-

propriations in late February and early March to pass a budget that will en-

able us to spread our limited funds in ways that will do the most for the City

and get the best bang for our buck. Interesting to note that while MANY

complain, less than 20 residents (out of nearly 31,000) showed up during the over three and a half days of in-

tense financial discussion to share their “solutions” to our seemingly never-ending money shortfall challenges.

I’m proud of the work our Council members, Department Heads and the Mayor and his Administration put

forth to unearth every opportunity to stretch every dollar.

Rather than isolate each of the departments, I am blending your City’s many successes. Fire Chief John

Reese loves to share successes, especially when it involves a lot of City employee efforts. During this year's

appropriations, he boasted about how well the hydrant flushing program was going thanks to City Council be-

lieving in and funding the program and the hard work of Joe Horac (Ridgefield resident) and the Utilities De-

partment. Several months ago, a writer from Municipal Magazine contacted the Chief because of a paper he

wrote for the National Fire Academy several years ago that eventually led to our current hydrant flushing pro-

gram. He answered a few questions for the writer, resulting in North Ridgeville being included in an article in

the April issue of Municipal Magazine. You can feel confident that our City's fire hydrants are properly

flushed each year. It really does make a difference!

Pool News The Ridgefield pool is now open and hopefully all are enjoying the warm days of summer. The hours are 12:30 to 8 p.m. 7 days a week. Annually, all residents who use the pool must complete a registration form which is kept on file at the Recreation Center. I appreciate all of you who did this prior to the opening of the pool so things could run smoothly. Thanks to all those who helped with registration during Memorial Day weekend. Residents are free but guests, no matter what age, must present either a ticket or $2 at the door. Correct change is necessary as guards do not have change at the desk. We just finished having a successful Pool Fundraiser on Saturday, May 2. A huge thank you to Bill and

Kathy Cavett for being in charge of this event, Lynn Westphal for being the MC, and Joyce Cerullo for orga-

nizing the basket raffle. There were many more people who made this a great event and are truly appreci-

ated for their time and efforts. We made over $4700.

The water aerobics class will be held during June, July, and August on Monday and Wednesday evenings

from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m. at the far end of the pool. You can pay $2 per session (guests need a guest pool ticket

or pay an additional $2) or purchase a pass which will be available at the first class.

Again this year, we are offering swim lessons for children at our pool. These lessons are coordinated by

Metro Pools and will be taught by our lifeguard staff prior to the daily opening of the pool. The 2 sessions

are June 22 - July 3 and July 13 - 24. (5 days each week) If you are interested in registering for these les-

sons, go to www.metropools.com. Be sure to fill in “Ridgefield Development” on the registration form for

the facility name. The cost per session is $49 payable to Metro Pools.

Currently, the Pool Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Recreation Cen-

ter to discuss activities related to the pool and then recommendations are brought to the Board of Trustees

who meet the third Tuesday of the month for approval. All residents are welcome and encouraged to attend

either meeting. Our next Pool Committee meetings will be held on Tuesdays, June 9, July 14, and August

11. Thanks to Kevin Frederick for being chairman of the pool committee, Joyce Cerullo for taking the min-

utes, and all those who attend.

Fire. From page 15

Your City Council, Administration and Fire Department

continue to be future-focused (in spite of the negative Let-

ters to the Editor in our local newspapers) when it comes to

replacing critical emergency equipment that may be impor-

tant to you as a resident…particularly to a resident who

has a severe medical emergency. Look at the photo of

Medic 26, which was our oldest medic unit that City Coun-

cil agreed to replace last year. Medic 26 was built for us in

2001 at a cost of $117,916.00. We retired it this year be-

cause it was just getting too unreliable to use as a medic

unit. Mechanically, it was ok, but there were times when it

just didn’t start when needed. It had 101,681 miles on it

which means that we put about 7,300 miles on it a year. As

a way for the City to use taxpayer dollars to the MAX this

medic unit was passed onto to the Service Department.

They plan to make a couple of small fixes on the chas-

sis, install a flatbed on it and use it to move tools and

equipment around. It still has life for that type of use,

but as an ambulance, it is done. (A BRILLIANT use of

City assets) As you can see by the pictures, we got our

money out of it already and any more use we get is bonus.

The floor in the cab was completely rusted through. The

new medic unit came in at $257,122.05, but that included a

new patient cot, defibrillator, and a Lucas CPR machine. The actual price of just the medic unit was

$183,000.00. As you see, they have definitely gone up. We are now putting over 14,000 miles a year on our

medic units which is double that of what we were putting on them when we purchased old Medic 26. Addi-

tionally, your Fire Department has received the Mission Lifeline EMS Silver Performance Achievement

Award! The award is given to EMS agencies that annually meet the achievement measures with no single

measure scoring below 75%. In other words, we are graded on how we handle STEMI emergencies (heart at-

tacks) and how our patients recover after treatment. Our success is all made possible by your support and the

continuing purchase of new equipment with the latest technology. The 12-lead EKG monitors that you have

approved over the past two years played a HUGE role in this success.

The North Ridgeville Fire Department joins 447 EMS agencies in the US and 1 of 51 agencies in Ohio

that are receiving the 2015 American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline EMS Performance Achieve-

ment Award. This helps us to get closer to obtaining our goal of providing one of the best EMS services in

the country.

Chief Reese and his team thank you all for your continued support!

A Budding Star….

and One Proud Set of Grandparents

Six and a half year old Wyatt McClure is the grandson of Bill &

Kathy Cavett of Deerspring Court and attends Lear North Elemen-

tary School.

At age five, Wyatt auditioned for and received his first movie role in

Miss Meadows starring Katie Holmes which filmed in Cleveland.

He has since had roles in The Fault in Our Stars, and the yet to be

released films, Psychos and Holiday.

His commercial credits include the 2014 Walmart Christmas Joy,

Nest Security Company, and a soon to be released Volkswagen na-

tional commercial. Wyatt can also be seen on Fandango Reel Kids

Sandlot review, and has filmed two more Fandango reviews in April.

Although Wyatt strives to achieve success in his acting abilities it has

not gone to his head. He is just a little boy having fun “pretending”,

says Grandma Kathy. If you ask him for his autograph though, he is

happy to oblige.

We all wish him a long and prosperous career. Good luck Wyatt!!

Four Ridgefield Resident Lifeguards - Updated

Aimee Caraszi, last summer’s Pool Manager attends Kent

State University on multiple scholarships and will be ma-

joring in Business Management and Pre-Med. She is in

the “honors” program and maintains “all A’s.” She will

be returning to Ridgefield this summer.

Aimee likes Kent State for its closeness to home (and the

family’s new puppy) and being “not too small or too

large” a campus. She has taken “Exploring Business” and

the usual freshman courses including Microeconomics,

Honors English Colloquium, Dance as an Art Form and

“First Year Experience” (mandatory Freshman orientation

course). Her current academic load of 18 hours includes

Bio Foundations, Physics with laboratory, Freshman Hon-

ors Colloquium and Macroeconomics. She plans to take 9

hours of classes this summer and is still on track to gradu-

ate in 2018 with both Bachelor of Business Administration

and Bachelor of Science degrees.

Aimee was inducted into Alpha Lambda Delta and Beta

Gamma Sigma honor societies. She will be working on

campus next fall doing research in Pediatric Health and

Stress, conducting studies with adolescents in the area of stress related to obesity and other health issues. She

will also volunteer as a teaching assistant at the Center for Child Development, a Day Care facility, on the

KSU campus.

Last summer was Aimee’s 3rd year of lifeguarding at the Ridgefield Pool. She earned the job after hearing of

its availability through friends in the community. She was “Pool Manager” and in charge of technology and

maintenance, as well as setting other employees’ schedules. She served as Head Lifeguard previously.

Aimee remains interested in becoming a pediatric cardiologist. She intends to apply to Penn State Univer-

sity’s Medical School. Her other interests include shopping, hiking and spending time at Cedar Point.

Meet Joel Keller By Joel Keller

Joel Keller earned a Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University, Montreal, Canada and a Doctor of Podi-

atric Medicine from the California College of Podiatric

Medicine. He spent 24 years in private practice in Lorain and then started a second career in IT consulting and

business development. He is now a Principal and Partner in NEO-ARC, LLC of North Ridgeville which develops recy-

cling and renewable energy projects in Ohio and other states.

Dr. Keller has had a life-long interest in all kinds of music,

from Bach to Rock to Country. He studied clarinet in ele-mentary and junior high school with Alfred Zetzer, former

Principal Bass Clarinetist of the Cleveland Orchestra. He and his wife (me) has attended Cleveland Orchestra per-

formances at Severance Hall and Blossom Music Center nearly every year since returning to Northeastern Ohio in

1974, as well as Rock, Pop, Doo Wop and other concert performances.

His interest in Rock and Roll has led to the development of three courses on the history of this musical genre for the Institute for Learning in Retirement at Baldwin-Wallace

University. He has also developed music-related courses on “Music from Non-Musical Movies,” and “Great Music: Going for Baroque.” Joel has given talks on these topics

as well as non-musical subjects at Lorain County Community College, Cuyahoga Com-munity College, senior centers, retirement facilities, libraries and other venues in

Northeastern Ohio.

Joel and his wife, Linda, have lived in Ridgefield since 2001. They have 3 grown chil-

dren and 5 grandchildren.

Reminder: ALL changes to the exterior of your house, or the aesthetic appearance of the property, require submis-

sion of an Architectural Review Request form (available at the Rec Center) for review and approval before proceed-

Suzy Sarah

Four Lifeguards. From page 29.

If you thought you were seeing double last summer at the pool, you actually were. The Hales twin sisters

were the reason!

Suzy Hales is an 11th grader at North Ridgeville High School and an Honor Student. She remains interested

in a career as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist.

In school, she is a member of the “Spectrum of Sound”

Show Choir and a Varsity Cheerleader. She also par-

ticipates in A Capella Choir, Key Club, Prom Commit-

tee and Spanish Club. She is also Class President.

Suzy has been taking a variety of Honors courses, some

for college credit. She has visited Kent State and Bowl-

ing Green and will also visit Ohio State University be-

fore making her final choice of colleges.

Sarah Hales is an11th grader and also an Honor Student

at North Ridgeville High School. She wants to pursue a

career as a Certified Public Accountant.

Sarah is a Varsity Cheerleader, a member of Key Club,

Spanish Club and on the Prom Committee. She is also

a future CPA! Sarah is also considering Kent State,

Bowling Green and Ohio State and will complete her campus visits this spring.

Suzy and Sarah live with their parents, Shari and Stephen. They have participated in the “Zoo Walk” and pan-

cake breakfast fundraisers. The twins told this interviewer that they always dress alike and much of the time,

think alike, too!

Michael Kowalski is a junior at North Ridgeville High School, an Honor student and is looking for a career in

a scientific field. He especially likes honors physics and is also taking Spanish III, Honors English (for col-

lege credit), and AP Economics.

Michael played basketball through grade 9 and has volunteered at North Ridgeville Community Care as part

“Sum 41” and “New Found Glory.”

Michael is considering Kent State University and the Uni-

versity of Akron and has toured both campuses recently.

He is also considering Ohio University and Miami of

Ohio.

The RHA hopes to see all of these bright and talented

young people back at the pool this summer.

We are confident that each of them has a great future.

“Congratulations to Suzy Hales, Sarah Hales and Mi-

chael Kowalski on their achievement of High Honors

for the 3rd grading period this year and Aimee Caraszi

for earning all A’s the last semester of her Freshman

year at Kent State University.”

Back in the late 80’s, Bob and I had a vacation in

southern California and part of that trip was a day at

Disneyland. I don’t remember much seeing Mickey

and Minnie, but I do remember a park ride where the

song “It’s a Small World After All” was sung over

and over and over.

During our recent two month stay in Destin FL, I

really learned the true meaning of “it’s a small

world”. Bob and I were driving along the old Florida

Coastal Highway 30A taking in all the beautiful

sights. We passed several beach-type restaurants and

came across one with a strange name ~~ GOAT-

FEATHERS. Naturally, we stopped. It’s a small,

but cozy restaurant that, of course, specializes in fish for lunch and dinner.

We started to chat with the couple seated across from us—“How’s the fish?” and…where are you from? I

replied ’just a little west of Cleveland, OH’. Their meal was served, and a lady who was at the table behind us

came to our table and said she and her husband were also from the Cleveland area. I told her we actually

lived in North Ridgeville. And she said, we do too. I asked where in North Ridgeville and, much to my sur-

prise, she said they lived in the Bob Schmitt Community, RIDGEFIELD !! This is how Bob and I met Gloria

and Neal Harman~~It’s a Small World After All~~

And since Mary Anne Kohl and Gene Schwarzwalder were vacationing in Fort Walton Beach, the six of us

got together for the “fish of the day” lunch several times.

Is Foster Care for You?

By Linda Pepin

Judy and Don Auble have been providing foster care for

dogs for the last 7 years after Judy retired from being

secretary at Fairview Schools, and before that raising 3

daughters, working as a speech therapist in Minnesota

and later in Bay Village. Don retired as an adjunct pro-

fessor in Business at Baldwin Collage, and is still work-

ing in advertising.

The Aubles studied with Guiding Eyes for the Blind,

Northern Ohio Chapter—training was in Berea Animal

Rescue.

Normally you have your foster dog (s) for 2-4 weeks-

most often just 1 dog, but sometimes as many as 3 at one time-puppies up to and including senior dogs. After

this period of time the dog (s) ready for adoption

The origination with which they’re associated is TRI (The Rescue Inn). What the foster parent (s) need to pro-

vide are a loving home and abundant attention. As foster parents you do not pay for their food or veterinary

care,. and any pet related expenses can be declared on income tax.

Judy and Dan really enjoy fostering. Perhaps others here in Ridgefield would like to do this too.

To quote Katherine Graham (former publisher, journalist and Pulitzer prize winner), “To love what you do

and feel that it matters—how could anything be more fun?”

Bottle of White; Bottle of Red: Evening at an Italian Restaurant

By Jell Keller

The RHA was treated to an evening of great food and song on May 8th at the Rec Center, when an Italian dinner and concert was presented. The program featured Carl Fernstrum, whom Joel

and Linda Keller had met through a course titled “Billy Joel: The Piano Man,” which they had

taken through Baldwin-Wallace University during the recent winter quarter.

The first lesson in that course began with some biographical background on Billy Joel and then

proceeded with the playing of the first of some 30 songs. Within 2 measures of beginning, the realization struck home that this was going to be a top notch presentation and that the RHA

could benefit by having Carl perform at some future time.

After meeting with Carl for lunch and working out some details, including a visit to the Rec

Center, a tentative date of May 8th was set for a dinner and concert at Ridgefield. The theme of “Bottle of White; Bottle of Red: Evening in an Italian Restaurant” was chosen, in tribute to a

song of the same name by Billy Joel.

At the same time, having experienced some really great catered meals by Fligner’s Market in Lorain, it was decided to check out their menu offerings for Italian cooking. A quick look at the

catering menu on their web site pretty much solidified them as the caterer and the menu was chosen to reflect the evening’s theme: Chicken Parmesan, Veggie Lasagna, Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions, Rigatoni with Marinara Sauce, California Blend of Cooked Vegetables,

Salad, Rolls and Butter and dessert trays.

Registration for the program began in earnest at the beginning of April. Interest in the pro-

gram resulted in 120 participants signing up.

The Rec Center was given an “Italian Restaurant” motif on Thursday, May 7th and the final food order was called in. The food arrived at 5:30 PM on performance night piping hot in huge ther-

mal containers from Fligner’s Market and was placed on heating dishes to maintain their tem-

perature.

The tables began filling at 6:00 PM and Joel Keller greeted the audience, stating that the eve-ning’s program was “dedicated to all the members of the RHA who help to make the association run efficiently: trustees, committee chairpersons, committee volunteers, paid employees, vol-

unteers and employees of contractors who provide services, including landscaping, pool safety

and others.”

Mr. and Mrs. Kel Fligner, who attended the program, were introduced and at precisely 6:30 PM, the four buffet lines were opened to provide the great Italian food to the 120 guests in the room. Just 15 minutes later, everyone had been served and was enjoying their meal which

was followed by finger food desserts from Fligner’s Market Bakery.

The entertainment for the evening was then introduced. Carl Fernstrum’s previous courses on

American Popular Music have included: “The Musical Life of Irving Berlin,” “The Musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein,” “Musical Theater through the Decades,” “Six for Six” and “Billy

Joel – The Piano Man.”

In keeping with the theme of the evening, he began the entertainment with his performance of Billy Joel’s “Bottle of White, Bottle of Red” with piano accompaniment. For the next hour and

15 minutes, he thrilled the audience with songs from the 40’s and 50’s, including “That’s Amore” and his own “Mr. Parmasan Man” as well as other Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Frank Sina-

tra and Elton John hits.

Mr. & Mrs. Kel Fligner

Carl Fernstrum

Within 30 minutes of the ending of the performance, the “clean up crew” had the room back to

its original shape. Many thanks to all those who helped set up and take down as well as to the office staff for their patience and help with registration and table reservations. Thanks, too, go

to Fligner’s Market for their delicious catering and to Carl Fernstrum for his terrific entertain-ment. If you’re interested in information about how to contact Carl, call Joel Keller. And, of course, thanks go to everyone who attended the program. Your participation made this event

a great success.

Future similar programs are being planned for every 3 or 4 months. Keep checking for details

at the Rec Center, on the RHA Web site and on Nextdoor Ridgefield.

Planning to have your home repainted or sided this year? There are

EIGHTEEN (18) APPROVED COLORS.

At the Rec Center you can see color chips of the colors approved by the RHA

Trustees. Before proceeding, you must submit an “Architectural Review Re-

quest” form for a quick review.

• Note that existing colors are NOT necessarily “grandfathered in,” so check the

color chart before proceeding. The exterior color presently on your home may not

now be one of the approved colors.

• Siding should also fall within the approved color palette.

• The color chips are shown with Sherwin-Williams names and numbers, but it is OK to get MATCHING

paint from a different paint company.

The elected Trustees of the Ridgefield Homeowners Association (RHA) are charged with maintaining the high

standards that make our Ridgefield community unique in appearance, beauty, and character. Regulations and

restrictions guide resident homeowners as they make decisions about what can and cannot be done regarding

exterior colors, fences, exterior storage, etc. The Architectural Review Committee assists the Trustees.

Fire, Potholes & Stuff from page 25 Potholes are always the topic of emails & phone calls to me as well as my conversations with Ridgefield residents who pull me aside when I’m taking my 3-mile walks in the development or in and around the com-munity. If I could have a dime for every “lecture” and “scolding on how I should be ashamed”, I’d be a rich man. While “0” potholes would be the ideal, we all know the past two to three winters have played havoc with our roads. Add to the normal wear and tear on roads that are old and we have a mess on our hands. By the time you are reading this you will have observed (unless you are visually-challenged), on many occasions

and at many locations (perhaps not the “exact” road or location where you have hit a pothole), our Service crews are out in force repairing roads. These people have a tough job and they do it with confidence even though argumentative folks might disagree. Last year we purchased a Falcon machine that is a HUGE im-provement to the old “cold patch” approach to pothole repair that has proven temporary at best. The Falcon does heat asphalt and allows us to fill deeper potholes year round…even in the winter. However, we have only one machine and it can’t get to every hole. Our creatively thinking Service Department requested City Council approve (passed unanimously on April 20th) the purchase of a Dura Patcher ($60,000) as opposed to an additional Falcon. They recommended the Dura Patcher as a cost effective method of road repair. It dispenses 135 pounds of patch material per minute and can patch close to traffic without over spray; it makes a permanent water-repellant patch with a solid asphalt body. We can now re-pair cracking asphalt and shallow potholes. These patches do not require a waiting period and can immediately with-stand traffic. Your City Council and Administration have rec-ognized that the streets are not in an acceptable condition and we need to do more. Accordingly, we have drastically increased our maintenance budget this year to reflect the priority of improving our street condition. Lest you think we are ignoring our street maintenance, our Ser-vice Department continues to be out in full force patching and repairing our roadways. In addition to the on-going repairs, the following streets are on the Service Department’s list to be milled and paved this season:

Case Road from Burns to the Avon border; Stoney Ridge Road from Center Ridge Road to Stone Creek; Stoney Ridge Road and Mills Road Intersection; North Lear Nagle from Adele to Center Ridge Road; Chestnut Ridge Road from the Turnpike Bridge to the railroad tracks; if dollars still remain, the milling and

paving will continue from the railroad tracks to Root Road; and Bender Road and Otten Road will be tar and chip and Lexington Way will receive another topcoat.

The following concrete full-depth street and sidewalk repairs are planned for this season: Portions of deteriorated areas on Rosebelle Avenue between Drake and Hadaway; Lee Avenue – 155 feet of Lee near Drake Street; Two areas on Eastview Avenue between Drake and Poplar and 115 feet north of Helen Street; Helen Street – 115 feet west of Eastview; Westfield Drive cul-de-sac; and Jaycox Road Reconstruction Project, Phase 1.

Smaller Is Better By Frans Jager

Humanity has lived for eons in a male dominated society (even when women were doing most of the work) in

which the prevailing rule seemed to be: the bigger the better. We are obsessed with the urge to grow, first as a

child that can’t wait to grow up. Then as an adult seeking to grow our income, our business, our family. We

seem conditioned to be striving for big, a big job, a big house, a big car, a big future. But just like male domi-

nance begins to wane – and, where it does not wane it is associated with backwardness – the notion that bigger

is necessarily better begins to lose much of the traction it once had.

In the animal world, including the human species, the male is typically larger than the female, often translating

into superior strength, power and dominance. In a world where most results were achieved by muscle strength

– which by and large was the rule before the industrial revolution – size mattered and gave men a natural ad-

vantage over women and larger, stronger men and advantage over smaller specimens. But that is no longer the

world we live in. Results are now mostly achieved by applying brain power and technology. Size does not

matter that much anymore. Conversely, there is change in the wind. We are beginning to wake up to the notion

that, maybe, smaller is better. In fact, there are good reasons to believe that scaling things down may be the

key to a better way of doing things and a better future for mankind. How so?

First there is the matter of nano-technology and micro-technology. It is counter-intuitive, but we find that we

can make many compounds and instruments work more effectively if we can bring them down in size. Particle

size reduction of compounds to nano-levels allows for more precise dosage, absorption and integration.

Then there is the concept of micro-finance. If we can unleash the productive capacity of entrepreneurial people

all over the world by providing them with access to enough working capital to get started, there is no telling

where economic growth, employment opportunity and prosperity could go, first and foremost in developing

countries but also in the developed world where lack of access to capital holds back many good people and

ideas. Our public and private financing system is too focused on the big bang and the silver bullet, on getting

in early on the next Apple or Google rather than the many small seeds laying in the furrows, waiting for the

capital drench to come in order to facilitate germination.

In business we have found out that effective management is much better applied in small units than in large

organizations. These small units may be bundled in one large corporation, linked together by common culture,

strategy and policy, but the company has a much better chance of sustainable success when managed at the

unit level rather than from the top of the parent organization down. Smaller business units are much more nim-

ble, responsive to customer needs and agile than the organization at large.

We also begin to turn away from big government. While it is unrealistic to expect that people will want to give

up on the entitlements and the safeguards provided by the welfare state, there is a strong aversion of the grow-

ing size of government and the grip that government has on our daily lives. A lazy, bloated bureaucracy spit-

ting out endless regulation is not what the American people are looking for. Nor can they afford it, with fewer

and fewer people of working age paying the bills. What the American public wants (and deserves) is a small

but effective government. Just like computers have been reduced in size, weight and cost while becoming in-

finitesimally more powerful, our government needs to find a way to focus on the few things that really matter,

with fewer but better qualified personnel.

A great future for our grandchildren requires a contrarian mindset to begin to prevail. It will be predicated

upon America’s capacity to wean itself from the Texan premise that bigger is better and systematically ask the

question: how can we do more with less? The Dutch have an expression for this approach: “Klein maar fijn”,

which means “Small but Great”. That’s what we should be looking for.
