The city of Fairlawn hosts free concerts in the park at bicentennial Park.

History of FairlawnIn 1958, a group of interest-

ed citizens decided to incor-porate their area into Fair-lawn Village. They felt it would be the best way to solve prob-lems and provide necessary improvements for the grow-ing community.

Two major accomplish-ments marked the life of the Village. It fought off the west-ward extension of the Ak-ron expressway, I-77, which threatened to bisect the com-munity. A southern alternate route was proposed by village officials and was eventually

used by the state.The other successful pro-

gram was the ambitious aim to have concrete paving throughout the Village. Dur-ing a period of four years, a to-tal of 16 miles of roads were paved.

ciTyThe 1970’s census put Fair-

lawn’s population at 6,200 and eligible for city-hood. A spe-cial election in July of 1971 was scheduled and the Char-ter form of government was chosen for the now official city

of Fairlawn.The ensuing years saw tre-

mendous residential and commercial development. The city has been able to maintain that balance of residential and commercial growth over the years, yet still keeping the quality of life res-idents demand. Along with this growth came the expan-sion of all city services and the long-range planning for the health and welfare of our cit-izens and business partners.

dwayne marty of norton and elliott dunaye of copley model the new self contained breathing apparatus units the Fairlawn Fire department recently obtained through a Fema grant.

The SCBAs and the air packs were obtained through a FEMA grant, said Lt. Scott Reymann. FEMA covered 95 percent of the cost, while Fair-lawn picked up the rest of the tab.

The new SCBAs replace the city’s older 24 units, Reymann said.

“We are replacing them unit by unit,” he said of the old-er SCBAs. “We also now have

the 24 air packs. We use these for when a firefighter needs to go into a burning building or a hazardous environment, we we aren’t breathing in con-taminated air. “

Reymann says the new equipment benefits not only the city of Fairlawn, but other communities which Fairlawn may be called in to help with an emergency.

The firefighters with the Fairlawn Fire Depart-ment can do their jobs more safely with the ac-quisition of 24 new Self Contained Breathing Ap-

paratus, as well as 24 new air packs.

Bath TownshipBath Township has many features for its 10,000 residents

and the businesses who call the township home.

One highlight is the Bath Na-ture Preserve, said township ad-ministrator Vito Sinopoli. The nature preserve, on Ira Road, in-cludes more than 400 acres.

Bath also hosts several com-munity events, including its an-nual Community Days, which al-ways take place the first Saturday of August. Sinopoli said the day includes a pancake breakfast fol-lowed by a parade, then activi-ties at the Bath Community and Activity Center. The township also hosts Memorial Day events

and has organizes a Project Pride event in April, where teams of vol-unteers come out to clean up and beautify the township.

One service Bath Township of-fers its regular refuse customers is textile recycling.

“I believe we are the first com-munity in Summit County to of-fer this,” Sinopoli said of the ser-vice. “We’ve contracted through Simple Recycling so residents can recycle their clothing, shoes, old purses, linens and items like that.”

The annual Bath Horse Show, a major fundraiser for the Bath Fire Department, celebrated its 70th year in 2014. The show features equestrians of all ages

and disciplines.

According to Chris Null from the fire department, the horse show raises around $35,000 to $40,000 a year from donations, ticket sales, entrance fees and concession sales.

The show was started in 1944 by a group of Bath teen-agers who enjoyed riding to-gether. They decided to host their own show to give them an opportunity for one more ride before the season end-ed. That first year netted $400, which was donated to the Red Cross.

The horse show joined forc-

es with the Bath Fire Depart-ment in its third year. The fire department, which was formed in 1945, has sponsored the show ever since.

Today, the two-day summer event takes place at the for-mer Bob-o-Lin Farm (now the Bath Fire Department’s Horse Show Grounds) at Everett and Revere roads.

The show is run according to Central Ohio Saddle Club As-sociation rules. Judged classes include halter, dressage, jump-ing, carriage and western.

This history behind the township’s name is an interesting story in itself. The area had originally been known as simply

Number 3, Range 12, of the Western Reserve, but this was superceded by Wheatfield, and then Hammondsburgh, after one of the early settlers.

The question of a new name then came up at one of the town meet-ings; but discussion dragged on and was seemingly endless. Final-ly Jonathan Hale, anoth-er early settler, rose and exclaimed, “O, call it Je-rusalem, Jericho, Bath, or anything but Ham-mondsburgh!” The mo-tion was quickly passed and the township ad-opted the name of Bath, which, if nothing else,

placed it first in the al-phabetical listing of the county townships.

The Bath Township Museum, maintained by the Bath Historical So-ciety, is open Mondays from 2 to 4 p.m., Wednes-days from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the last Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon, and by appoin-ment.

An annual tradition for the Copley police and fire de-partments is Safety Town, a week-long program aimed at young children about to enter kindergar-

ten. The 2014 Safety Town was at the Copley-Fairlawn Middle School.

A highlight is a m i n i a t u r e t o w n , where Safety Town participants learn about road safe -ty and how to follow traffic signals.

Another class went over fire safety and what to do in the event of a fire.

Members of Guardians Ad-vocating Child Safety and Pro-tection also were on hand to

take electronic finger-prints, voice record-ing and photographs of children. This in-formation is burned to CD for the parents’ records before it is erased, according to representatives from GASP.

The week’s activities also included crafts, stories, educational videos and more.

Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library

Branch manager Jane Scott said the library has much to offer the area residents. One highlight is the new Nature Connect garden.

“This is for children and adults,” Scott said. “We have herbs they can smell. There are plants they can feel. There are vegetables we planted that we plant to harvest in August, and we’ll do a program around that.”

The gardens were provided by the Friends of the Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library.

Patrons with electronic gadgets also can find a charging station to re-fresh their devices, Scott said.

“Let’s say you come in and you have your device,” she said. “How often do you remember to bring the cord?”

In June 2014, the Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library celebrated its gold-en anniversary with community activities, refreshments and a dis-play about the history of the library and the area and more.

Copley Creekside Farmers MarketArea residents looking to purchase locally grown, fresh produce

can take advantage of the Copley Creekside Farmers Market.

The Copley Creekside Farmer’s mar-ket got its start in July 2011 when two community women, Lois Mitchell and Judy Gager, worked together to get area vendors to sell local produce and goods, said Allison Chrien, the current manager of the farmers market.

“They did all of the legwork for it,” Chrien said.

Today, the market runs from May to October, and typically has about 23 booths, plus a food truck, every Thurs-day. The big draw is the locally-grown produce, and Chrien said that those coming to the farmers market general-ly have their choice of six or seven ven-dors. Other highlights include honey, home and bath products, baked goods

and more. In addition, the farmers mar-ket schedules cooking demonstrations, information booths and special days such as Children’s Day, Local Business Day, Dog Days and Community Day.

New this year is the opportunity for guests to donate purchased produce, canned goods or money at the farm-ers market, which is given to the Cop-ley Outreach Center’s food pantry. The Copley Outreach Center serves Cop-ley residents and the residents in the Copley-Fairlawn school district. Dona-tions can be dropped off at the infor-mation kiosk at the farmers market.The farmers market is open Thursdays, May through October, from 3 to 7 p.m., rain or shine.

When: 3-7 p.m., through oct. 9, 2014*Rain or shine* May be open oct. 16 and 23, weather depending.

Western Reserve Playhouse began as the Bath Communi-ty Players in 1956. In 1966, Western Reserve Players pur-chased the historic 1886 barn where its shows are now

staged.

In the past several years, the barn has undergone many renova-tions, including a new roof, siding and stage, indoor plumbing and air conditioning.

The theater stages three shows every year usually a comedy in June, a musical in July and a mys-tery or thriller in September. West-

ern Reserve Playhouse also started a one-night fundraising show, gen-erally staged in October.

In addition, the theater offers a three-week Youth Theatre pro-gram which runs in June and ends with a two night production. Jim Volkert and Kelly E. Clarke are di-rectors of this program.
