Dear Villagers

ldquoSpring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slushrdquo Doug Larson Doug Larson was a longtime Green Bay Wisconsin resident so he knew about sunshine and slush as well as any resident of Northeast Ohio This spring Mother Nature is offering some slush and some mud Some weeds and some wildflowers Something to address as we hunker down embrace our inner Marie Kondo selves and try to stay well

ldquoIn the spring at the end of the day you should smell like dirtrdquo Margaret Atwood Digging in the dirt has proven mood enhancing benefits Just ask any truffle hunting pig Want to cheer up If itrsquos shrubs or trees that suit your fancy The Chagrin Valley Nursery sells to individuals and landscapers The nursery is a bona fide treasure hunt Simply drive down the long driveway off River Road and make the big bend to the right The sales office will be just ahead and you can wander among the hundreds of choices Vic Mastrangelo has to offer See his Facebook page for ideas

ldquoSpring work is going on with joyful enthusiasmrdquo John Muir

The Garden Club is planning the annual spring cleanup for the weekend of May first Road captains are listed within but anyone can help out by picking up the roadside treasure of discarded cans and bottles and by clearing out those pesky plastic bags that fly about getting hitched up in the trees Collected trash may be put out with the regular collection Thank you to everyone who pitches in

ldquoSpring is naturersquos way of saying lsquoLetrsquos Partyrsquo rdquo Robin Williams We all will miss the April Art Show and the two attending parties However what better time to pick up some pastels watercolors or oils and stretch you creative spirit Go for a walk with your camera and use the fantastic photo apps available to create a masterpiece The 2021 Art Show should be an absolute smash in our renovated Community House Itrsquos the 50th Anniversary Did I mention there is Village honor and prize money at stake Entry fees are reasonable so there is no better time to begin

ldquoFlowers are the music of the ground From earthrsquos lips spoken without soundrdquo Edwin Curran

Many Village gardeners will be ordering seeds and bare root plants from catalogs As we are hunkering down for the time being finally we can peruse catalogs and online retailers to find exactly what we want and specimens like grandma used to grow Grandma Palmer had four orsquoclocks by the back door What did your grandma like to grow

Gates Mills Police Department Proud to ServehellipSworn to Protect

From Your Police Department This is certainly an unsettling time for all of us I wanted to provide you with an update regarding how the police department will operate during this health emergency There will be no reduction in services the police department provides to the residents of Gates Mills We will need to make a few adjustments in order to safely work within the guidelines established by our national state and local governments and health agencies

Our officers and staff are implementing the practices of good hygiene and social distancing as suggested by the CDC and state and local departments of health The town hall will be closed to the public but will be staffed for a few hours each day I encourage you to take advantage of the online services available on the village website to add homes to the watch list etc You can call the town hall coordinators at 440-423-4405 or leave messages on the town hall voicemail and your calls will be returned as soon as possible

If you need to file a report or speak to an officer about a NON-EMERGENCY issue please call our dispatch center at 440-423-4456 and an officer will contact you promptly We will begin taking some reports over the phone in order to protect the health of both you and our officers

Our department is a dedicated group of police officers who take their responsibility to our residents very seriously We have back up plans in place and mutual aid agreements with neighboring police departments in order to continue to serve our residents to the best of our ability Please be safe and follow all recommendations made by our governmental leaders and health departments We will all get through this by working together

Please remember that if you see anything unusual or if you observe something that just does not feel right please immediately report it to the police department so we can have officers dispatched to investigate It is the partnership between the community and the police that makes Gates Mills special

Until next month ndash Proud to servehellipSworn to Protect

As I compose this monthrsquos article we are in the early stage of the COVID19 emergency The situation

is constantly and quickly changing By the time that you read this article many of the actions taken to

respond to this pandemic will have changed or have gone through multiple updates The constant

that you and your family can be sure of is this

Our First Responders and critical staff members including Village Hall Officials Police Fire EMS and

Service Department will continue to provide all of the services that make this Village special to all of

us Every department has implemented operational changes to limit the spread of this virus and

maintain our work force

Elsewhere in this edition of the Pink Sheet I have included two fliers from the CDC

wwwcdcgovCOVID19 that provide the most up to date information on how to protect and care for

yourself or family members that may contract this virus

Please be aware that there may be people attempting to take advantage of the situation and that can

come in the form of a knock on your door telephone call email or text message Always do some

checking to protect yourself and contact the Police Department when in doubt That ldquofunnyrdquo feeling

that you get is probably right on the money

Even though the Town Hall has been closed to the public (so that our staff can continue to provide

essential services) the Mayor Police Chief Minichello Service Director Dave Biggert myself and

everyone else here at Town Hall are just a phone call or email away With all of the information and

news coverage on this emergency sometimes itrsquos nice to talk with your local officials We have many

years of combined emergency management experience and have been planning and preparing for

this

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and you

What is coronavirus disease 2019Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan China

Can I get COVID-19 Yes COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the world Risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone known to have COVID-19 for example healthcare workers or household members Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19 Learn more about places with ongoing spread at httpswwwcdcgovcoronavirus2019-ncovabouttransmissionhtmlgeographic The current list of global locations with cases of COVID-19 is available on CDCrsquos web page at httpswwwcdcgovcoronavirus2019-ncovlocations-confirmed-caseshtml

How does COVID-19 spread The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source but is now spreading from person to person The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth nose or possibly their eyes but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreadsLearn what is known about the spread of newly emerged coronaviruses at httpswwwcdcgovcoronavirus2019-ncovabouttransmissionhtml

What are the symptoms of COVID-19Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms ofbull feverbull coughbull shortness of breath

What are severe complications from this virus Some patients have pneumonia in both lungs multi-organ failure and in some cases death

People can help protect themselves from respiratory illness with everyday preventive actions bull Avoid close contact with people who are sickbull Avoid touching your eyes nose and mouth with

unwashed hands bull Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20

seconds Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 alcohol if soap and water are not available

If you are sick to keep from spreading respiratory illness to others you shouldbull Stay home when you are sick bull Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue then throw the

tissue in the trash bull Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects

and surfaces

What should I do if I recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19 If you have traveled from an affected area there may be restrictions on your movements for up to 2 weeks If you develop symptoms during that period (fever cough trouble breathing) seek medical advice Call the office of your health care provider before you go and tell them about your travel and your symptoms They will give you instructions on how to get care without exposing other people to your illness While sick avoid contact with people donrsquot go out and delay any travel to reduce the possibility of spreading illness to others

Is there a vaccine There is currently no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 The best way to prevent infection is to take everyday preventive actions like avoiding close contact with people who are sick and washing your hands often

Is there a treatment There is no specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19 People with COVID-19 can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms

From the Service Department ldquoYours in service since 1920rdquo Dear Villagers

Due to the COVID-19 virus and out of an abundance of caution to follow the State of Ohio recommendations related to the virus we have closed all Town Hall buildings Community Building and Burton Court to the public until further notice

In addition all public meetings in April have been cancelled including the

Household Electronics collection Currently all Service Department and Building Department managers and staff

are reporting to work as normal We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and will plan accordingly I do not anticipate any major disruptions in our ability to provide a high level of service If you have any questions or need assistance in any way please call the Town Hall or contact me directly by email

Your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time is greatly

appreciated Remember - separation isolation and hand washing helps to prevent the spread of the virus

I hope you find this information helpful As always if you have any questions or need further information feel free to contact me Yours in Service David L Biggert David L Biggert BO EMT-B MI PI Service DirectorBuilding Official To contact Dave Biggert call (440) 423-4405 ext 127 or email davebgatesmillsvillagecom

Dear Gates Mills Families

I am writing to update you on our schoolrsquos plans for a transition to remote learning As we have worked through these plans we are committed to supporting our students and families during this uncertain time Our goal is to design systems that are easy to navigate provide meaningful engagement in the learning process and utilize blended tools to ensure that student learning is continuous and ongoing outside of the walls of our school building

As we transition to remote learning and plans are being put into place here are some tips that may be helpful in setting up learning routines at home

bull Establish routines and expectations - create a visual chart at home with expectations bull Define the physical space for your childrsquos study bull Monitor communications from your childrenrsquos teachers bull Begin and end each day with a check-in Create a checklist and timeline of learning activities bull Establish times for work and time for rest bull Encourage physical activity and exercise bull Remain mindful of your childrsquos stress or worry - reach out to your childrsquos teacher counselor or myself with

any concerns bull Monitor how much time your child is spending online and in front of screens bull Keep your children social but set rules around their social media interactions

This situation is unprecedented and we know our systems will not be perfect Although our school facilities may be closed we are committed to doing whatever it takes to support you and your children

Sincerely

Laurel Ravida Principal Gates Mills Elementary School

NOTES FROM A NEW HOME SCHOOLING MOMhellip As I write this article we are only one week into the home-school and work-from-home process Only one week of what may be many more I wonrsquot sugar-coat it and say its all been easy but we are starting to find our groove and trying to keep it fun

Late last week we began by setting up and organizing our new work area ndash the dining room table and nearby art cabinet We gathered pencils markers colored pencils paper calculator a home printer computer chrome books and a power strip to set up our work-from-home station On day one we were efficient and got to work At the end of the workschool day I checked my Fitbit and realized I only had 976 steps (my goal is 10000) for the day As the week went on we found news ways to incorporate movement and fun Irsquom sharing a few quick ideas on the opposite page for you to try I hope to encourage you to keep moving keep creative keep connected and mostly keep the faith that this too will pass Warmest Regards Robin Polack

Dear fellow villagers Are you stuck in your home with little to do Are you wondering what you can do to break the boredom Itrsquos Springtime Here is my suggestion for a healthy perfectly legal walking tour that many villagers have never done

Drive into the village and park in front of the Historical Society building on Old Mill Road Leave your car and walk across the old inter urban railroad bridge As soon as you get to the other side turn left down the steps into The Arboretum There are several paths you can take which will bring you out into Mayor Karen Schneiderrsquos inspiration which she was kind enough to name ldquoMarston Parkrdquo Wander around and contemplate the various things to do as the weather warms - play bocce ball tennis learn the popular new sport- pickle ball dream about a gathering with family and friends for a picnic in the new Kalberer Pavilion There are numerous things for kids to enjoy While wandering around for a little extra work out you might try the exercise stations by the river at the back of the park Once you are done having fun exit up the steps onto the village green to the library and the adjacent park Then head back to the bridge As soon as you reach the other side turn right down the steps in front of St Christopher by the River church and then stroll back toward the river Yoursquoll find a bench to relax for a while You might spy the Blue Herons and other birds which nest along the river and see fishermen catching Steelhead trout which are abundant in the area Due to the virus the church is temporarily closed but you might say a prayer for HE is always present and listening As you exit out the front heading back to your car take a selfie with the church in the background (it is one of the most photographed churches in the Western Reserve) Have a great day and maybe Irsquoll see you there

With best wishes Charley Marston
