Dear Villagers

By now everyone has a new vocabulary that includes coronavirus flattening the curve and convalescent plasma While the grim statistics and the new normal of social distancing certainly have cast a pall there are some rays of sunshinemdashif one dares to look After all corona also means a halo an aura or crownmdasheven the golden trumpets of spring narcissus

Many residents have come down into the Village to listen to the Sunday carillon concerts at St Christopher by-the-River Church Whether standing on the sidewalks or sitting in cars residents maintain social-distancing and enjoy the concert Becky Everett is the carillon player and on Easter morning the carillon selections celebrated the holiest day on the Christian calendar Becky chose the following hymns

Jesus Christ is Risen Today The Day of Resurrection Welcome Happy Morning Alleluia Alleluia Give Thanks to the Risen Lord Christ is Alive Let Christians Sing This Joyful Eastertide The Strife is Orsquoer the Battle Done We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight Amazing Grace

The Historical Societyrsquos book 20th Century Tales of Gates Mills describes the carillonrsquos history There are only 165 carillons in the entire country Ohio has ten including the carillons at Church of the Saviour and St Paulrsquos in Cleveland Heights St Christopherrsquos can be considered very special because it has such a fine small carillon of 23 bells that can be played in a sublime setting

Thank you to Lucy Lytle for providing the Pink Sheet with her sisterrsquos musical program and these photographs Be well everyone Gail Palmer May 2020

Gates Mills Income Tax News For many decades the Village contracted with the City of Cleveland (CCA) to collect and administer our Village Income Tax Now that is going to change

Earlier this year the Village decided to change the collection and administration of our Village Income Tax to the Regional Income Tax Authority (RITA) and that change will occur early this summer The change will not impact your responsibility as a taxpayer

The decision to change was based on RITArsquos broader menu of services for Gates Mills and an estimate that the cost of this expanded service will likely be less than our current fees RITA is a statewide service organization representing many times the number of taxing authorities as CCA

Expect to receive communications in late May from RITA with information regarding their services and obtaining answers to your questions

At any time feel free to contact the Village with questions regarding this service improvement

Coronavirus Disease 2019 FAQs for Homeowners Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic Q How do I know what mortgage assistance options are available to me due to the COVID-19 pandemic A If you have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are concerned about making your mortgage payment please reach out to your mortgage servicer to request assistance Your servicer should help you identify options that may be available to you given your specific circumstances Look for their contact information on your monthly mortgage statement Please note that loan servicers are also impacted by the pandemic and may be experiencing staffing and technology limitations and high call volumes In addition to contacting the servicer by phone assistance may be offered through your servicerrsquos website Q What mortgage relief does the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act give to homeowners A The CARES Act puts in place two protections for homeowners with federally backed mortgages

bull A foreclosure moratorium (freeze)

bull A right to forbearance for homeowners who are experiencing a financial hardship due to the COVID-19 emergency Specifically you have a right to request forbearance for up to 180 days You also have the right to request an extension for up to an additional 180 days but you must contact your mortgage servicer or lender to request this forbearance There wonrsquot be any additional fees penalties or interest added to your account however your regular interest will continue to add up Federally backed mortgages include US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Federal Housing Administration (FHA) US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae home loans To learn how to identify if your loan is a federally backed mortgage click here

Q What mortgage relief does the CARES Act give homeowners with lenders of non-government backed or private loans A Non-government backed loans may offer forbearance or deferment options If you have a non- government-backed loan you should contact your lender and ask for forbearance Q What is a mortgage forbearance What happens at the end of my forbearance A A mortgage forbearance is a temporary pause or reduction in your mortgage payments During a forbearance period you should not incur late fees A forbearance does not eliminate or reduce the amount you owe and you will have to repay any missed or reduced payments in the future If you decide to move forward with a forbearance plan ask your servicer how you will be required to pay back the amount owed after the forbearance period Things to ask about

bull Will you owe the entire unpaid amount in a lump sum once the pause period ends or at the end of the loan term

bull Can the loan term be extended so that missed payments are added to the end of your mortgage

bull Will your subsequent monthly payments be higher for a period of time to make up the deferred amount While your forbearance is active monitor your monthly mortgage statements for any potential errors Before your forbearance period ends reach out to your servicer to discuss your current financial situation Your servicer should work with you to determine the appropriate next steps to address any missed or reduced payments These steps may include an extension of the forbearance period or a more permanent resolution like a loan modification

Q Does the governorrsquos Executive Order 2020-08D provide additional guidance or require mortgage companies to take a specific action A Although the state of Ohio is strongly encouraging financial institutions to pause payments for individuals during this public health emergency the executive order is focused on commercial evictions and foreclosures

bull Landlords are requested to suspend for a term of at least 90 consecutive days rent payments for small business commercial tenants facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic

bull Landlords are requested to provide for a moratorium of evictions of small business commercial tenants for a term of at least 90 consecutive days

bull Lenders are requested to provide commercial real estate borrowers with commercial mortgage loans an opportunity for a forbearance of at least 90 consecutive days if financial hardship results from the COVID-19 pandemic The following resources may be helpful

bull The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) COVID-19 page httpwwwfhfagovcoronavirus

bull Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) COVID-19 FAQs httpswwwfdicgovcoronavirusfaq-fipdf

Time in Nature When we are connected with nature were happier and live healthier lives Studies have demonstrated numerous benefits from spending time in nature Stress reduction is a big one for both children and adults Time spent in nature helps to relieve depression anger and anxiety and improves our ability to cope with stressful events Nature not only improves how we feel it improves how we think with benefits for attention memory and creative thinking A connection with nature can even improve how well we connect with other people Nature helps people heal A study in Pennsylvania found that hospital patients with a view of trees healed faster with less pain medication and fewer complaints compared to patients with a view of a brick wall

During this time of uncertainty getting out into nature is needed now more than ever Let us all do our part to keep our community safe by continuing to follow proper social distancing and CDC guidelines while benefitting from the outdoors

BELL CONCERTS FROM ST CHRISTOPHER BY-THE-RIVER EPISCOPAL CHURCH Even though St Christopherrsquos by-the-River Episcopal Church has been closed because of the

COVID-19 crisis Becky Everett as a member of the church has continued to play the bells every

Sunday Becky along with three other carillon players in the Cleveland area decided that at a time

when everything was shutting down they would get up in their respective towers and play

together on Sunday mornings to provide this special music

Becky continues to play the bells every Sunday at 1015 am at St Christopherrsquos She began her

series of concerts the week after the last in- person service at the church on March 15th She

continues to play hymns for the church members and local community People gather outside the

church in their cars to enjoy the 30-minute concerts each week while maintaining social distancing

When I asked Becky about her interest in the bells she traced it back many years ago when David

Osburn gave her a lesson She had been playing the piano since she was 6 or 7 but the bells were

intriguing Becky was absent from St Christopherrsquos for a while but when she came back she

started to play the bells really teaching herself

Becky talks about the way she ldquoloves the way the bells resound through the countrysiderdquo or ldquothe

music going out and echoing almost like you know when you throw a stone across water and you

see ripples that keep going out and outrdquo She told me ldquoIt is another way that I can prayrdquo Becky

feels that the music brings some solace to families at this difficult and confusing time

Members of the church enjoy keeping up their weekly routine and enjoy the concerts and the

community comes out as well and parks in town to hear the bells ldquoThis is a simple effortrdquo Becky

says ldquoto bring people together during trying timesrdquo When the church opens its doors again Becky

will be playing the bells as she always does as part of the service and hopes that those who have

never been into the church will join the 800 am or 1015 am service as well

What a joy to not only listen to this wonderful music of Beckyrsquos but to hear the love and delight in

her speaking about playing the bells

Dear Friends

Happy Spring As I walked around the garden after one of Aprilrsquos surprise snowfalls I was comforted by the new life that continued to sprout from the ground and the trees Luckily there is resilience in nature to withstand these spring storms and the daffodils are still as strong as ever

Like many storms none of us could have predicted the COVID-19 outbreak or the mandatory stay-at-home order Though it has been difficult to isolate and our lives have been altered I am thankful for some of the blessings it has afforded ushellip like more time in our gardens

In memory of Connie White a past Gates Mills Mayor and GMGC member a White Oak was was planted in front of the Gates Mills Post Office and Arboretum on Arbor Day Please take a look the next time you are down in the Village and think of Connie

While disappointed we had to cancel our April programfieldtrip to Green Circle Growers I am glad we can offer our members and guests the opportunity to create a planter andor fairy garden in the comfort of their own homes for our May program

With social distancing measures we plan to continue the following traditions Road Side Clean Up May Baskets and planting the Bridge Boxes on both the North and South Bridges

Due the continued concerns for the health of our members and guests our Plant Sale will now be held online and our July 2020 ldquoShakespeare With a Twistrdquo Flower Show has been postponed

With continued uncertainty it is likely that our 2020 calendar of events may have to be adjusted further Please stay tuned for updates and connect with us through email Facebook Instagram or our Website wwwthegatesmillsgardenclubcom

NOTES FROM A NEW HOME SCHOOLING MOMhellip As I write this article we are one month into the home-school and work-from-home process Over the last month I have learned a lot but my kids have learned even more They have learned to juggle classes and priorities to be self-motivated to participate in distance learning to reach out to friends in new ways to be creative and have fun within our four walls and to help each other All valuable skills that have taken on a new meaning in our COVID-19 days

As the days passed we all have found new ways to stay connected to others Using FaceTime Zoom meetings texting telephone calls and even writing letters and cards I always thought I might like to work at home but now that Irsquom doing it I miss my office life On the bright side it has been nice to sleep in a bit and I donrsquot miss the crazy morning rush to get everyone on the school bus each morning or packing lunches every day We all need each other and in that spirit I am sharing some perspectives from a few other local Moms below Until next month stay healthy stay safe and stay six feet apart

Robin Polack

Tips amp Thoughts from local Moms bull Create a designated workspace for schoolwork keep to a routineschedule every day reach out

to teachers for helpmdashthey have been awesome allow for breaks ndash get some fresh air and exercise turn off workschool brain for a break at the end of the day go easy on yourself and your kids and enjoy the moments with them -- Christine

bull Itrsquos been an eye-opening experience to be a stay at home mom a full-time working mom and now a part-time teacher since my kids are all very young and not able to navigate through the assignments on their own And while Ive learned that itrsquos impossible to perform all three of those roles perfectly Ive redefined what is good enough My family is healthy and safe and I hope yours is too -- Jen

bull Homeschooling has been a big adjustment but in a lot of ways it shows just how resilient our children are What began as a short-term plan has now evolved into the new normal We have built a regular routine and with that in place I have found the kids to be much more accepting of homeschooling Some days are obviously better than others but we are all in this together In the end we will have created amazing family memories and bonds during this unprecedented time that Irsquoll cherish for a lifetime -- Leigh

WE HAVE LOST SOME DEAR FRIENDS

IRENE B OLIVER On Friday April 10 2020 Irene B Oliver passed away peacefully at her home in Gates Mills Ohio under hospice care and surrounded by her immediate family Irene was 84 years old

She was born in Berlin Germany (parents Helmut and Annamarie Brabant nee Briske) in 1935 and came to the United States in 1949 after surviving WWII as a young girl Upon her arrival in the United States she attended Roxborough Junior High and Cleveland Heights High School learning English when she arrived She then attended Nurses training at Lutheran Medical Center earning her RN degree While in nurses training she made lifelong friends whom she frequently visited throughout her life At that time she also met the love of her life Walter H Oliver with whom she had been married for 62 years

Irene is survived by her husband Walter and two of her daughters Susan Oliver Dahod (Samun) and Barbara Oliver Harrington (Richard) She was predeceased by her daughter Kathryn Jean Wilber (Daryl) her brother John Brabant her parents and her in-laws Harvey G Oliver and Marjorie Oliver (nee Dunmore) Also surviving Irene are her grandchildren Christopher G Wilber (Ciara) Michael D Wilber Matthew T Wilber Elizabeth D Godin Jennifer M Godin and Rebecca L Godin step-granddaughter Haley Jaynes Wilber and great- granddaughter Makayla K Wilber Irene also had nieces and nephews who adored her

Irene was an amazingly strong kind loving caring and thoughtful woman She was an active volunteer in her community as a member of the Gates Mills Garden Club Community Club Art Show Patron Land Conservancy and Historical Society just naming a few She loved her home and community in Gates Mills beautifying her property with ornamental gardens and also balancing it with amazing wildflower canvas with Forget-me-nots and Ajuga Her hillsides were carpets of purple and blue in the spring Irene loved feeding the native birds Filled feeders have surrounded her home for decades attracting an endless variety of native songbirds Her home was a virtual nature preserve

For the early part of Irenersquos married life she was a stay-at-home mom raising her daughters volunteering for Parent-Teacher organizations and the American Red Cross along with the some of the other organizations already mentioned and in 1977 she started full-time working her way up to a head nurse with the American Red Crossrsquos Bloodmobiles from which she retired in 1993 There too she made great lifelong friends

Travel also held a special place in Irenersquos heart especially to the Florida Keys For many years she and her family traveled to the Keys enjoying boating fishing snorkeling and even treasure hunting She visited Alaska Hawaii Canada the Western United States Puerto Rico and returned multiple times to her homeland and relatives in Germany and western Europe

Irenersquos greatest passion was her friends and family She cared for loved and supported her children and their families unconditionally Her close friends (of which she had many) she held dear Many would just stop by and pay her a visit moments she cherished She was straight forward honest and loving She and Walter wereare two amazingly kind and pure hearted people Her presence will be dearly missed by many

In 1956 Irene was diagnosed with Type-1 (Juvenile) diabetes When she was first diagnosed she was told she wouldnrsquot be able to have children she defied that She successfully kept defying many odds for 64 years with very few side effects Because of this battle we ask that in lieu of flowers you donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund

And finally Irene had a love for Art Anyone who has visited her home saw her passion There are pieces she and Walter have collected throughout the years covering their walls and beautifully displayed For nearly five decades Irene has been an active volunteer for the Gates Mills Art Show She has set up called artists hung art and helped in the judging of the art show The family is setting up an award in her name and donations again in lieu of flowers please donate in her name to the Gates Mills Art Show

With heavy hearts at this time memorial services will be delayed until there is a safer time to gather At that time the family will announce a date However on May 10 2020 one month from her passing and Motherrsquos Day the individual families will be independently selecting a perennial or tree and planting it at their homes in memory of Irene The family would love for all who knew her to participate Please post a photo or note on the DiCicco amp Sons Website wwwdiciccoandsonsfhcom

Sewing Face Masks for First Responders Our local first responders wear approved face masks when encountering individuals who have or may have COVID 19 but they also need cloth face masks when they are doing their normal activities in the Police Fire and Service Departments As many of us are sequestered at home we are hoping that some sewers will make some homemade face masks and donate them to Town Hall
