This annual publication is designed to provide residents and visitors with information about our City and local organizations while showcasing the people and businesses that make the City of Medina a great place to live, work and destination to visit.

I believe that goal has been and continues to be met through the longstanding record of excellent services provided to the public, as well as providing vast government services in an efficient and effective manner. As a result of these efforts, Medina was named the Best Hometown in Northeast Ohio by Ohio Magazine in 2011; September, 2011 CNN/Money Magazine ranked Medina #12 in the entire nation for Affordable Housing in their Best Places to Live Survey; and 4

Community Overview
Medina Business Community is Poised for Continued Success By Kimberly Rice, Director of Economic Development
The past year has been a busy one for economic development in Medina. A vibrant and growing business community serves to create employment opportunities, offer residents greater amenities and increase the local tax base, which lifts the burden from resident taxpayers. That’s why the mission of the Economic Development Office is to work effectively to retain, expand, promote and attract businesses and industry within Medina. With a solid infrastructure and easy access to highways, rail, air and water transportation, Medina is an ideal place to locate a business. The City boasts a competitive 1.25- percent income tax rate and offers flexible property tax abatement programs for businesses as well as residents. For example, construction 6
2 0 1 3 Me di na A re a M a ga z i ne a n d C o m m u n it y Gu id e
of a new home may be eligible for a nine-year tax abatement and a new industrial or commercial structure can get a 15-year abatement – 11 years at 100 percent. Along with an abundant retail and service sector, Medina has a significant manufacturing presence, with more than 120 manufacturing businesses located in the City’s 800-acre industrial district. The City works tirelessly to ensure that businesses thrive in the community. Assistance in expanding or relocating a business may be in the form of Community Reinvestment Area (Tax Abatements), Low Interest Loans, Job Creation Grants and Tax Credits, Foreign Trade Zones, Port Authority Financing and Training Assistance. In 2012 we instituted two important initiatives to help make it easier to start or expand a business in the City of Medina. The first is the adjustment of the performance bond requirement for

private project site plan improvem ents. Previously, businesses were required to post a performance bond equal to the cost of their landscaping, paving and drainage project. Our research indicated that requirement to be unnecessarily high, posing a financial constraint on new and expanding businesses. The percentage has been adjusted to 25 percent of the project estimate, making Medina competitive with other communities. We also have created a non-profit Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) which can quicken the process of developing or improving land owned by the City while giving the City greater control over how the land is developed. The CIC consists of five voting members from the City government and two nonvoting members from the business community. Also in 2012 we embarked on infrastructure improvements, starting with the $2 million reconstruction of Lake Road at Lafayette Road going south, including new water and sewer lines. To supplement the original plan, the City secured
additional funding of $240,000 from the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Jobs & Commerce to widen West Smith Road from Lake Road to the railroad tracks 2,300 feet eastward. This project is scheduled to start in 2013. The widening will reduce traffic congestion and allow for more efficient deliveries in and out of businesses in the area, like Owens Corning, which has more than 250 trucks moving in and out every day. This year we were pleased to welcome a number of new businesses into Medina, including Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Sushi >> Continued on next page

Root Candles
“The Best Candles in America” are Made in Medina
Root Candles was founded in Medina by Amos Ives
Root as the A.I. Root Company in 1869. A.I. Root was the embodiment of that industrious, strive-and-succeed American spirit. Called “the father of modern beekeeping”, A.I. was known nationally as a man of integrity, faith and scientific curiosity. He was a friend of the Wright Brothers and published the first account of their mechanized flight. Helen Keller was his lifelong friend, too. A.I. believed that technological progress was a gift from God. He reverently placed “In God We Trust” over the entrance to his Medina factory – a statement that remains in place today.
20,000 square foot store is brimming with unique, designerinspired home decor, fashion and culinary finds while feeling as warm and intimate as a stylish boutique. Holiday shoppers will find ornaments, decorations and limited edition Holiday Candles with cheerful seasonal scents like Spiced Gumdrops, Cherry Chocolates, Sparkling Cranberry and Juniper Wreath. There’s no better way to share the warmth of the holidays than by sharing the warmth of Root Candles.
Originally, the A.I. Root Company was a manufacturer of beehives and beekeeping equipment. A.I. wrote and published The ABC and XYZ of Beekeeping, as well as a magazine named Bee Culture. The company still produces both. In the 1920’s, Root began making beeswax candles. Over the years, Root pioneered many innovations in candle-making. Today, Root produces more than 9 million pounds of candles each year, maintaining its devotion to purity, honesty and quality that was the embodiment of A.I. Root. Five generations of craftsmanship, combined with the latest in technology, make Root Candles “the Best Candles in America.” Still headquartered just a few blocks west of Medina’s historic town square, Root Candles expansive Flagship Store is a popular shopping destination, especially during the holidays. This

Medina City Schools Uses Technology to Expand Learning In 2011, the Medina City School District collaboratively
designed a strategic plan with staff, parents, community members, and students. As a result of this process the district adopted five overarching strategic themes, one of which is to “maximize the use of technology to enhance and expand learning opportunities.” Staff took this theme and developed a number of tasks that will position the district to meet its goals and prepare students to excel in a technologically-rich world. Through the district’s partnership with Learn 21, a flexible learning collaborative, the district was able to offer a high quality, professionally designed and supported learning management system (LMS), Blackboard, to the students. In addition to the expected efficiencies that were achieved from the implementation of an LMS, staff noticed a shift in the way in which students were learning. They were becoming interactive members of a truly collaborative online learning environment through wikis, blogs, discussion boards, and similar digital learning tools. As a result, district staff collaborated and started to brainstorm new and engaging methodologies to educate

students. Discussions began with a core team of teachers to develop blended learning classes that would optimize the LMS to maximize student learning. Goals and plans were formalized and submitted to eTech in the spring of 2012. Subsequently the district was awarded a $130,000 grant to continue to develop the blended learning program. The district is currently offering three blended classes at Medina High School, all in the core content areas. In each of these classes students learn in the traditional classroom three days a week and in a digital environment for their remaining time. During their digital learning time students take part in collaboration, problem-based learning, creating an authentic digital footprint, or private conferencing with their teacher on a schedule that is geared toward them. Students are finding these classes more meaningful and relevant. District staff are currently developing additional blended classes for upcoming years.

A town is often known for its geographical and architectural landmarks. The mention of Medina, for example, conjures up images of Victorian shops lined up on an old town square. But for all of its charming physical characteristics, it is people that give a town its unique personality. The more than 25,000 people of Medina – caring parents, insightful grandparents, playful children and trusted friends – provide the vitality and character that make the town more than just a collection of parks, shops and businesses. In this section we profile some of the most recognizable and interesting people of our town - the leaders, talented business owners and managers who not only help to keep the local economy vibrant but live among us as our neighbors and friends. You may know some of them personally; others by appearance, by name or maybe only by the look of their signs or storefronts. They are the Faces of Medina.

Charles Pfister, D.D.S., M.S. 30 YEARS OF BEAUTIFUL SMILES
W
hether it’s restoring a young child’s selfesteem or providing an adult with the confidence he or she needs to excel in a chosen career, Dr. Charles Pfister, who has been an orthodontist for more than 30 years in Medina, can help anyone achieve a beautiful smile. “One of the most important aspects of my treatment is the ability to carefully listen to each patient,” Dr. Pfister explains. “I determine what his or her goals are and we create a personalized care plan around them. Our patientoriented staff will work with you and design a comprehensive orthodontic plan tailored specifically for you or your child. So it’s never too late to transform your smile. Today, patients have more options when it comes to straightening their teeth, such as micro-mini metal brackets, cosmetics brackets and Invisalign for minimal correction. The most complex cases can require orthodontics, jaw surgery, and the involvement of expert local oral surgeons.
And though an orthodontist can enhance a person’s smile at any age, Dr. Pfister advises that the greatest results can be achieved at the first sign of orthodontic problems. The American Orthodontic Association recommends that the first orthodontic exam visit should be around the 7 years of age. As a board certified orthodontist, Dr. Pfister has been inducted into several honorary dental associations along with being Ohio’s Outstanding Dentist of the year in 2010. Dr. Pfister’s continued training in growth and development at Case Western Reserve University and the Dr. Charles Pfister University of Michigan has helped to earn him and his office a reputation for correcting early skeletal problems in young patients. A lifelong resident of Medina County, he and his wife Terri stay busy raising their sons, Stephen and Trenton as well as staying involved in the community. Pfister Orthodontics, Enhancing your heath, your smile and your future.

Esbi International Salon The Beauty of You
“
Each day, Cheryl and I reflect on our many blessings. We are blessed with two healthy and wonderful children, a life of contentment, and a successful business that has been made possible by so many loyal customers. We believe that we truly are blessed to live in the world’s greatest country, where dreams do come true. Owning our own salon is a dream that came true for Cheryl and I, and we live each day in the spirit of gratitude grateful for where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. Our salon strives to provide the best possible service while remaining affordable by offering different levels of stylists for each person’s individual needs. We have had outstanding success and support from the clients who have remained loyal to us from our simple salon in North Royalton, to our beautiful location in Strongsville, and now to the magnificent building we call home in Brunswick. Recently, a vision my wife and I shared has become a reality with the launch of our own exclusive hair care line, DIVINITÉ. We chose the name as a testament to our faith in God and a way to represent a positive product that counterbalances the degrading images and messages sent by many products on the market today. As Cheryl and I attended beauty shows over the last 15 years, we’ve noticed that so many products are increasingly marketed in ways that promote promiscuity and a bad self-image. We wanted to go in the opposite direction that makes us proud to hand our products to all different types of consumers.
I knew that working on a product line that puts God first wasn’t going to be easy in today’s times, but I also knew with all of my heart and soul that this is what I was meant to do. The road was long, curvy, and full of bumps, but just when I thought of quitting, my good Lord was there to reassure me and pick me back up. I’ve learned so much through this experience. Sometimes He asks the impossible out of us so He can show that all is possible through Him and His love. DIVINITÉ is a “Product with a purpose”, and each bottle is inscribed with a bible verse that relates to what the product is designed to achieve. Our goal is to offer an excellent product that makes the client feel as confident and beautiful as they appear. I worked for two years with chemists at Greenblendz to formulate and develop the perfect recipe. DIVINITÉ products are 100 percent natural and sulfate and paraben free, so they are not only healthy for your hair, but for you as well. Each product is designed to protect hair from heat, chemical services, and the environment while protecting its color and resulting in a silky, smooth finish. DIVINITÉ is beneficial to our clients and the environment, but we didn’t stop there, we also support The Wounded Warrior Foundation and plan on adding more organizations as we expand. We are working now to distribute the DIVINITÉ line across America, but you can get it right in Brunswick at Esbi International Salon. ESBI International Salon Owners Nuccio and Cheryl Basilisco

Study Predicts ALL Americans Will be Overweight by 2048 A study conducted by Dr. Youfa
Wang, from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is predicting that this is America’s reality (Journal of Obesity 2008). The study is assuming a lot, but the main point is to show how our future will look if current trends continue without intervention. If anything, it’s a huge wake-up call. Regardless of what research predicts, it only takes a quick glance around you to notice that people are getting unhealthier every single day. The increased intake of unhealthy food and a decreased need for physicality due to a technology-driven world are contributing to this epidemic. Obesity has devastating consequences: • It is now the leading cause of preventable death.
34
2 0 1 3 M e di na A re a M a ga zin e a n d C o m m u n it y Gu id e
• It affects 1 out of every 3 kids in the country. • It increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, and some cancers, among others. • It puts a major burden on our health care system. In 2008 dollars, these costs totaled about $147 billion (Finkelstein, 2009). Even more devastating is that it’s actually the most preventable disease that exists. Nonetheless, it’s why we need to get our kids moving more than ever and help them establish healthy habits now that will last a lifetime. It starts with us, as parents, as adults, as role models, to get them there. It’s not just about telling them what to do, but most importantly about doing what we want them to do. Kids learn by watching. Kids want to be healthy so let’s help them get there.
I believe in getting more out of life. My time is precious. Every moment counts. That’s why I chose Kaiser Permanente. My doctor is close to home, so when I go for a checkup, I can visit the lab and pharmacy, too— all in one trip. Back home, I can go online and e-mail my doctor, check most lab test results, schedule routine appointments, order most prescription refills, and more.* I can even access these tools on my smartphone. It’s that easy. This way, I have more time to spend on what matters most—life. For more information about Kaiser Permanente, visit us online at kp.org.
*These features are available when you receive care at Kaiser Permanente medical centers. Care from practitioners you see outside our medical centers or the results of tests and screenings performed outside our medical centers may not be available online.

The Modern Day
House Call By the Expert Care Providers at HMC BridgesHome Health Care
Home health care is certainly not a
new idea. American medicine was once defined by the image of doctors on horseback, making house calls across the prairie. On one hand, residential care is the oldest form of health care, yet it is also the newest. Modern technology that has allowed health care professionals to deliver many skilled procedures and services within a patient’s home or nursing facility.
What Is Home Health Care? It’s a wide range of services provided in your home following an illness, accident or surgery. Covered by Medicare and most insurance, it’s usually less expensive, more convenient; and just as effective as the care you would receive in a facility.
How can I be sure home health care is right for me? Each day, qualified nurses provide care for people who are leaving the hospital or other care facilities and their expertise is available to you. Most home health care providers are just a phone call away and will meet with you for a free informational visit.
I just had surgery. Why should I choose home care? Along with the benefits of the personal oneon-one nature of home care, research shows home care is less expensive than rehab care and patients heal better at home because they are in a familiar environment. Risks such as infection can be minimized and many times home health care providers also help patients “accident proof” their home. Home health care is there to help you heal, regain your independence, and become as self-sufficient as possible. For more information on how you can benefit from home health care services, contact HMC BridgesHome Health Care at 330-7641000 or visit www.BridgesHome.org.

The Advantages of Working with a Professional Interior Designer By James and Eileen Smalley, Owners, New Creation Interiors
Building or renovating a home can be one of the most stressful endeavors a consumer takes on. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone! A trained Interior Designer can help you organize and finalize all the details from the tedious; “Where should my outlets go?” to the daunting; “What paint colors should I select?” Designers can assist you with every aspect of the project from the blueprints to your furniture selections. They can help turn your “Vision” into a reality and make sure all of your choices coordinate together, creating a cohesive flow between each room. An Interior Designer will work to make a room functional for your needs. Working with a qualified Designer is cost-effective; saving time and money by making the correct selections the first time. It provides you with peace of mind by removing the dread of making numerous decisions on your own. Selling a home can be a very difficult and tense experience for any homeowner. With the help of a Designer, this process
38
2 0 1 3 M e di na A re a M a ga zin e a n d C o m m u n it y Gu id e
can be less painful and more successful. An Interior Designer can help determine what a home needs to make it appear more spacious, inviting and less cluttered by removing, reusing and re-purposing items within a home. A Designer will use imagination and professional experience to add excitement to a tired space. Updating the look of a home by suggesting fresh paint colors is just one of the many services a Designer can offer. In a time when the value of homes is decreasing or staying on the market far too long, a professional Designer can maintain and increase the value of a home. The value of working with an Interior Designer is beneficial in selling a home quickly and for the appropriate fair value!
The numbers are
in, and homeowners are all sighing with collective relief. Home sales activity in our local community is on the upswing, increasing nearly 17% compared to last year, helping the marketplace record its 12th consecutive monthly sales gain, as reported by the area’s Multiple Listing Service in June 2012. This is the first time we have seen such a stretch of gains since the 20042005 housing boom, a sign that the market may have finally hit bottom and that local real estate in the greater Medina area is on the rebound. “Medina has always been a progressive community, through good times and bad, and our local real estate market is no exception,” says Brandon Marquard, President of M.C. Real Estate. Area REALTORS® remain extremely confident about our market – as interest rates remain at historic lows, prices have begun to trend upward, inventories are declining, sellers are increasingly realistic in their pricing expectations, and consumers understand that long-term, owning a home is a tremendous investment. “These numbers are not as promising in other parts of the

It takes much more than old buildings and cool shopping to make a city interesting. It’s about creating a sense of place, a district in which you want to spend time, and ensuring quality from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. Since 2008, Main Street Medina, along with the City of Medina, has worked tirelessly to improve the experience of the nine-block historic district for residents and visitors alike. The Square continues to attract entrepreneurial business owners, as it has since 1818, because of the atmosphere of the district, and the distinct sense of place that is preserved in the architecture and spirit of Medina. We’re proud that 100% of the retail stores and restaurants are locally owned and operated, and that no chains

Reagan Park Mountain Bike Trails The Medina City Parks Department is pleased to showcase the over 10 miles of mountain bike trails at Reagan Park with various degrees of difficulty. The single-track trails were designed and constructed by C.A.M.B.A. (Cleveland Area Mountain Bike Association) and local volunteers and are maintained by them as well. The trails are designed to be a stacked loop trail system which lets users ride to their abilities. Riders can take on the first intermediate Huffman Trail that is nearly three miles long or ride all five loops and experience some of the best scenery that the Medina City Park system has to offer. The trails host both a mountain bike race and trail running race throughout the year and are some of the most used in Northeast Ohio. For a map of all the mountain bike trails, go to the City of Medina website, www.medinaoh.org, and click on Parks and Forestry under the “Department” tab.

Bike Trails are Paving the Way Recreational trails are beginning to
take shape in Greater Medina. The community is currently home to the Lester Rail Trail, The Roscoe Ewing trail, and the Reagan Parkway Trail which are heavily used by the community. The City administration and the County Parks District have been working to rapidly expand these popular amenities for recreation and as an alternate form of transportation. The Champion Creek Trail was completed in the all of 2012 with a Clean Ohio Trail grant. The trail extends the Roscoe Ewing Trail into downtown, connects multiple parks, and links thousands of residents to the downtown district.
Within the next couple of years, a multipurpose path will be also constructed to connect Medina County Park District’s Lake Medina Park and City of Medina’s HuffmanCunningham Park. Additionally, a portion of the downtown district will be enhanced with an innovative green technology streetscape including street trees, brick accents, advance storm water treatment basins, and recreational trail extensions. As trail construction expands, these trails will create a network surrounding the city and connecting the city and townships residents to schools, parks, hospitals, and shopping areas. w w w.
