MAYOR'S MESSAGE

We are pleased to present to you the 16th annual Medina Area Magazine and Community Guide. Thanks to the generous sponsorships of our local businesses and organizations, the publication is brought to you free-ofcharge. In turn, please support our local businesses with your patronage, and “Shop Local” whenever possible.

We are all aware that Medina has become a destination on many levels. Our businesses have found the city to be a business-friendly location with a quality workforce.

In 2022, the city welcomed over 25 new businesses with ribbon cuttings. We held a 20th anniversary celebrations for Medina Center for Dance Art, and Century Cycle marked its 30th anniversary. Medina Hardware reached a significant milestone in 2022, when it celebrated its 150th anniversary, joining Medina’s oldest business, 154-years-old Root Candles.

We are fortunate that businesses come to Medina to stay and grow.

Mayor Dennis Hanwell Known for its historic downtown of late 1800’s Victorian architecture, Medina is a destination for tourists and history-lovers. The downtown Square, and most of the buildings around the Square, are included on the National Register of Historic Places.

Other national registered properties in the city include: King-Phillips-Deibel House, H. G. Blake House, Medina Farmers Exchange, Judge Albert Munson House, A. I. and E. R. Root Homestead, Spring Grove Cemetery, Donald

Pease Federal Building, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

Additionally, over 100 homes in the city are on the Ohio Inventory of Historic Properties.

Medina is the host for great events that bring thousands of visitors to town, including the Ice Festival, concerts, crafts and art shows, Ladies-Nights-Out, Cars and Coffee, and the holiday celebration ushered in by Candlelight Walk. There is always something going on that brings visitors to Medina. In 2022, Medina was tapped to host a lunch stop for the cross-country Great Race that featured 260 vintage automobiles racing from Rhode Island to North Dakota. We are proud to say that Medina was selected by the racers and race staff as the “Best Lunch Stop.”

Lastly, Medina is a destination for new residents. One drive through the Square and folks know this is where they want to live, raise a family, or make it their retirement home. Medina has award-winning schools, a premier library system, an extensive selection of fine parks and recreation choices, safe streets and neighborhoods, and world-class healthcare. No matter how you have found your way to Medina, we welcome you. If you have any questions or we may assist you, please contact the city at 330-725-8861 or visit www.medinaoh.org.

Sincerely, Dennis Hanwell Mayor, City of Medina

CITY OVERVIEW

A Destination City

By Ken McEntee

T

he friendliness of the Medina community made an impression even on a guy who used to frighten people for a living. Horror actor Ari Lehman – the child Jason from the film, Friday the 13th – appeared at a meet-and-greet last summer to promote a new local business.

“When he left, he said that he visits a lot of towns across the country, but he had never visited a town that was as beautiful and as friendly as Medina,” shares Mayor Dennis Hanwell. “That’s not unusual.

So many people I talk with say the same thing. It warms my heart to hear things like that because that’s just what we want. We want people to feel welcome and feel that they’re a part of our community.”

Medina has long been recognized as an ideal community in which to live, run a business and raise a family.

But Hanwell says it’s also a compelling place to visit. “We’re working very hard with Main Street Medina and the Chamber of Commerce to make Medina more like a destination,” he says.

Perhaps the town’s most notable attraction, the iconic Public Square is surrounded

by Victorian style buildings,

projecting the ambiance of a quintessential old fashioned small town. “The events and activities on the square and throughout the nine-block historic area keep the town vibrant and are very helpful to our business community,” Hanwell said. “If an event brings in 10,000 or 15,000 people, they have to eat somewhere. They’re going to get a coffee or a soda somewhere.”

In one of last summer’s events, Medina was recognized as the “best lunch stop” in The Great Race — the country’s oldest, longest running vintage automobile event. The 2022 race featured 120 vintage automobiles that embarked on a nine-day, 2,300-mile adventure from Warrick, Rhode Island to Fargo, North Dakota — with a lunch stop in Medina. “We were one of two stops in Ohio, says Kimberly Marshall, the city’s economic development director. “Lunch was at the United Church of Christ, Congregational and we got money to get the racers lunches from Buehlers. The city received a plaque from the race organizers."

Hanwell said mutual cooperation among local organizations helps to coordinate events and collaboratively promote the city. “Real estate agents love to drive clients through the Square whether it’s on their way to a destination or not. That’s what a powerful draw it is,” Hanwell says. “When people see the Square and our historic district—and how meticulously we’ve been preserving the area—they want to be a part of it.”

Convenient amenities help to make the Downtown historic district visitor friendly. “A few years ago we built clean, modern public restrooms, so when we have our many events on the square, people don’t have to use portable toilets,” Hanwell says. “We’ve added 72 flower pots to beautify the Square. The improvements we’ve made have made it attractive for organizations who want to bring concerts and plays to the Square, so it draws a lot of people, both locals and visitors.”

When shopping for insurance, there’s no greater value than the guidance of an independent agent at Homestead Insurance Agency Inc.. We’ll help you tailor your coverage to fit your needs and answer any of your questions along the way.

Public Square also is a strong center for business activity, Hanwell notes. “There’s such a demand in the Downtown area for the businesses that if a location becomes available, there are literally five, six, seven people vying for it.”

To tempt I-71 commuters to exit the highway and explore the town, “Historic Medina” road signs were installed on I-71 in 2016. “We’re not right on the highway, so if travelers don’t know about us, they might just stop at a chain restaurant near the interchange,” Hanwell

was with the police department including almost 13 years as chief, we called it a community oriented policing model.

We’ve adopted that into our community oriented government model.”

The results of the philosophy were recently illustrated when a “windshield survey” team from Baldwin Wallace University remarked how clean and well maintained the city was, Hanwell shares.

“We want it to look that way all the time,” he says. “We never know when it’s the first time that somebody visits our community.”

says. “They only have to travel a few more miles up the road to experience the local businesses and the charm of Downtown Medina.”

Printed visitors guides help tourists find their way around the town’s many attractions. “They give guests an orientation of where all the public parking is, where all the stores and restaurants are, and they have a listing of all of the upcoming events,” Hanwell says. “If somebody is in town for a craft show or for Art in the Park, for example, they may find an upcoming event that will draw them back here later. We think doing things like that to market the town has really helped with our success.”

Local Growth To serve Medina’s many visitors, local developer Jim Gerpsacher is planning to construct a 75-room hotel near the Square, across from Castle Noel. “I think it’ll be a nice addition to the city,” Marshall says.

“When our businesses in the industrial sector bring clients or team members into town, they have to stay out near the highway. It will be convenient for them to stay here in town, supporting our local businesses.”

Community-oriented Government Hanwell says the philosophy of “community oriented government” has helped to make residents happy and proud of their town. “City employees don’t say ‘that’s not my job’ when we see something that needs to be done,” the mayor insists. “If there is a problem, it’s everybody’s responsibility to fix it. If there is a defect in the street for example, it doesn’t matter whether somebody from the Parks Department or a clerk at City Hall spots it — it’s all of our responsibility to get it reported and get it corrected before somebody damages a tire. The goal is to make sure that even small problems are fixed promptly so that the city always looks well kept, clean and pretty. When I

Among the perks that attract residents to Medina is the city’s low tax rate, Hanwell says. “At 1.25%, we have one of the lowest income tax rates in the state of Ohio,” he says. “Residents agreed to raise the rate from 0.5% to 1.25% providing that 20% off the top goes into street and storm sewer repair. Before that many of our streets hadn’t been kept up because we simply didn’t have the money. We now put $2.2 to $2.4 million a year into streets and sewer.”

Strong Business Development Marshall says the city has continued to experience strong development in the service and retail sector.

“We’ve had about 16 new businesses open since October 2022,” including Operation Fandom, a collectables shop; Blackbird Records; First Watch restaurant; Monarca Cantina Mexican restaurant; and Wendy’s construction has been completed.

“In the industrial sector Sandridge Foods and Spray Products did expansion projects in 2022, and NCT Technologies, a manufacturing company that does powder coating, started up,” Marshall says.

Medina, she says, offers a friendly business environment. “Time is money, so we do what we can to get projects moving along so businesses can get up and running a lot quicker,” she says. “From our Planning and Zoning Department, to our Building Department and Engineering Department, you can get your plans looked at within 30 days. Many businesses tell us it can take months, if not more than a year, to get through those processes in other cities.

Our cooperative business model, along with our strategic location, makes Medina an excellent place to run a business.”

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Effective Weight Loss is Attainable Anyone that has been affected by obesity can tell you — it’s hard to lose weight and keep it off. That’s why it’s important to partner with a compassionate and capable medical team who specializes in obesity medicine to help you develop a plan for long-term success.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, including nearly 70% of Ohioans.

Severe obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea, GERD and many types of cancer.

The Summa Health Weight Management Institute offers a supportive, structured and multidisciplinary approach to successful, long-term weight loss.

Nonsurgical Weight Management: Focuses on modification of meal plan, review of medications impacting weight, management of eating behaviors,

Don’t Let Osteoarthritis Keep You From Being Active Osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease, is the most common cause of walking-related disability in people age 65 and older. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop being active! There are many treatment options available.

For some patients, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and injections can help ease pain and maintain mobility. For those who need more, partial or total joint replacement surgery may be recommended. Today, many patients can benefit from new robotic-assisted technology used by the orthopaedic surgeons at Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital.

Orthopaedic surgeon Peter Surace, MD, said the robot significantly enhances accuracy in total knee and total hip replacement surgeries. “Surgeons use the robot to create a 3-D model of a patient’s bone, choose the correct implant size and create a custom surgical plan for each patient,” he said. “This allows surgeons to be more precise in placing implants, which leads to better fit and function.”

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Surace or another Cleveland Clinic orthopaedic surgeon at Medina Hospital, call 866-320-4573.

HOMES & REAL ESTATE

A.I. Root and their

Honeybees

In the summer of 1865, a swarm of bees landed on the window of A. I. Root’s jewelry shop. Curious by nature, he paid an employee $1 to capture the swarm. That single moment sparked the love affair with honeybees and inspired A.I. Root to start his own beekeeping business.

Over 150 years later, Root Candles is still synonymously known for beekeeping, beeswax, honey, and the highest quality candles.

Root Candles is all about those little honey makers and they’ve pledged to help #savethehoneybee. Their ongoing partnership with Ohio State Beekeepers, Ernst Seeds, the Pollinator Partnership Program continues to develop their ever-growing pollinator garden. The gardens are located in the field behind corporate offices, in front of the retail flagship store, and on the front lawn of the A. I. Root Homestead. There are five hives on the property and additional hives behind the production facility.

Root uses about 5% of the beeswax harvested in America. Honeybees are not only vital for candle making, but also for humans. They pollinate 70% of the crops grown A.I. Root in the U.S., and their livelihood continues to be threatened. Numerous factors are causing the honeybee to die, but we have ways you can help.

1. Buy local honey! It’s so much more than just a tasty sweetener. Did you know ingesting honey, harvested within your area, will help relieve allergy symptoms?

2. Plant bee friendly blooms, bushes, and trees in your yard. Some of a honeybees’ favorites are the Basswood Tree, Echinacea, and Lavender.

3. Let those weeds grow. Honeybees are naturally drawn to dandelions and clover.

4. Support our friends at Project Apis m. (www.projectapism.org).

5. Consider beekeeping! Check with your local beekeeper’s associations to help you get started.

is located on the property lot of the Medina Seventh-Day Adventist Church: 3866 Medina Road, Medina, Ohio 44256.

The “Outreach (Community) Center” is registered with the IRS and the State of Ohio as a Non-Profit Corporation. As a sponsored independent organization to provide literacy intervention, education counseling, clothing give-aways, and social work counseling, it operates as a separate business from the church with an independent tax-ID number and state certification – while maintaining its status as a subsidiary of the Ohio Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists located in Dayton, Ohio.

Currently, the Outreach Center is designed to be open four (4) evenings per week. We eliminated the option of serving meals and exchanged our services to teaching literacy intervention instead, but we will still collect clothing (and other miscellaneous) donations, then distribute them on a “first come-first serve” basis.

Strength Through Comfort The mission of Crisis Response Canines is to provide strength, comfort, and emotional support to individuals, families, communities, and first responders experiencing traumatic emotions in the aftermath of critical incidents.

Crisis Response Canines (CRC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of certified K9 teams throughout the United States who have dedicated thousands of hours comforting those impacted by personal or community crisis events.

Our goal is to establish a nationwide network of canine crisis response teams who can be deployed immediately where they are needed most. CRC also offers local volunteer services that are provided by the handlers and their canine partners, offering a level of comfort and calmness that only a canine can.

Our volunteer members and their canine partners are background checked, and must complete a comprehensive series of nationally-recognized certifications and commit to ongoing training with annual re-testing/re-certifications as required to perform duties.

For more information about these wonderful dogs and their compassionate handlers, visit www.crisiscanines.org.

believed everyone deserved a decent place to live. Over the last 47 years Habitat for Humanity has improved the shelter of over 22 million people. Habitat for Humanity of Medina County joined with this vision back in 1991 and over the last 32 years has built 47 homes across our county. This was accomplished because of our committed volunteers both on our build site and ReStore, along with generous financial supporters of Habitat.

As we move forward our mission remains the same.

To provide decent, safe and affordable shelter to qualified households in Medina County. We strive to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Stop by our ReStore or visit our website at www.medinacountyhabitat.org to learn more about how you can partner with us on this mission.

No matter the route, Great Race participants view the most amazing scenery this country has to offer, and tour some of the coolest back roads to get there. These pre-World War II cars aren’t exactly cut out for interstate driving, so the intricate routes were designed to suit antique cars and their capabilities, in terms of speed, and durability. This past year, they stopped in Medina for lunch.

And though McRae is no longer with us, his vision for the event and his love for old cars still lives on through the continuation of the Great Race. For more information, visit www.greatrace.com.
