These are the words Beth Franz uses to describe her art. Her business is Mountain Air Crea ons, a commission sculp ng enterprise. The transforma ve event of becoming a sculptor began in 1987 from an adult educa on class designed as an introduc on to ‘3-D form and crea on in clay’, taken shortly a er earning a Masters of Arts degree in English. The focus is crea ng not only the facsimile of the person, but more importantly the ‘spirt’ or essence of the individual.

Stan Butts, Guest Columnist Valleyview Country Getaway

Working primarily from photos of the individual and close collabora on with the client, the process begins. Through stories and descrip ons, as told by the customer, a connec on or resonance is developed with the person to be honored. These stories are what fuel the crea ve energy to generate the piece. As the piece matures from a lump of clay towards the finished work, numerous ‘check-ins’ are suggested, to affirm the piece is proceeding in the right direc on. Upon comple on, the approved work is transported to Cleveland, where using the lost wax process, the bronze cas ng is done. While in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, propor on, and a li le mechanical savvy to create the internal support structure is required, the real gi is transla ng those ’sparkling blue eyes’ into something that is felt by everyone who views the sculpture. Sounds easy to the novice onlooker, but consider that the slightest change in a smile reconfigures almost every muscle in the face. Do you get the idea now? While not an inexpensive undertaking, honoring someone who is important to you is something to consider. You probably have seen her work in the entrance lobby of Ohio Health (Ralph Phillips) or in front of the Child Development Center on the Mansfield Ohio State/NCSC campus. Beth can be contacted at www.writerandsculptor.com or 419-774-9225. To quote her favorite writer, Willa Cather, ”What was any art but a mold in which imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself –life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose."

Liberia na ve, Ontario resident working with UMADAOP crews to brighten Mansﬁeld By Tom Brennan

Isaac David has traveled a long road to get from the west coast of Africa to the neighborhoods of Mansfield, where he teaches youngsters to become successful men. His work goal is not to be accomplished at teaching how to plant flowers, clean up li er or board up buildings. Instead, he wants the young members of his carefully selected work crews to understand the importance of showing up for the job and giving your best every day. The na ve of Liberia is the youth workforce development coordinator and personal confidence builder for the Mansfield-based agency UMADAOP, which stands for Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program. Part of the agency’s focus is helping struggling teenaged men below the poverty level. David’s instruc on and counseling come through the SALT project. The ini als stand for Student Achievement Leadership Training. “It all has to do with ins lling pride and self-confidence,” the 42-year-old David said. He usually has around 15 young men in a group. They parcipate in classroom instruc on as well as outdoor work projects. David’s crews have done work for Richland Land Bank lots, Mansfield parks and, most recently, Mansfield in Bloom (MiB) floral and landscape beds. The volunteer work is funded through grants, and each par cipant must have the approval of a parent or guardian. David was born in Liberia in 1976 and came to the U.S. in 1982. He believes slave traders most likely plundered Liberia as they shipped Africans to planta ons in the U.S. in the decades before the Civil War. David explains that many of today’s Liberians are descendants of former U.S. slaves who traveled back there a er the war between the states. David’s father was a senator in Liberia, and an uncle served as president of the na on before being assassinated in 1979. David a ributed the assassina on, and others like it, to a tumultuous poli cal history in Liberia. That internal conflict has eased in recent years, he added. The Ontario resident has been in the community for seven years. Mansfield is hometown for his wife, the former Michelle Holley. He met her in New Jersey, where he was opera ng a limousine service. The couple has two children, a son age 15 and a daughter age 8. Both are students in the Ontario school system. David has interacted with a lot of children, but he said his own kids introduced him to an important experience that he had somehow missed - ea ng ice cream. “I had a lactose problem, so I stayed away from ice cream. But I enjoyed it with my kids, and I survived it quite well,” he said. David obtained a degree in physical therapy from North Central State College but took his first job at Abraxas, the residen al treatment center for youthful offenders on Ohio 39 between Mansfield and Shelby. “We walked around the facility, and the man doing the hiring was impressed at how quickly I connected with many young men we saw along the tour,” David said. He was hired soon a er that, and David added “It changed everything for me. My experiences there made me want to do more”. He has been working to help young men in the community ever since. One youth ac vity outside his professional life was to serve as a condi oning trainer for the Mansfield Tygers football team. He describes himself as a workout fana c, adding the gym offers him a place to get lost. A er joining UMADAOP, he was first assigned to administer group programs for youngsters at the former Hedges School. David said it was a challenging project for him, not only because he was a rela ve rookie, but because youngsters there were facing significant challenges. Hedges is where David first began to use the SALT ini a ve that focuses on leadership and responsibility. “This ini a ve is where the rubber meets the road,” he said, explaining that it pushes the youngsters to put into prac ce what they are taught. David’s most recent volunteer efforts are assis ng with floral and landscape projects supported by Mansfield in Bloom. This spring and summer will mark the third year of assis ng MiB. Some of the ongoing projects the crews are helping with include ”plan ng and maintaining downtown floral planters, caring for the plan ngs around the city’s gateway sign on West Fourth St., plan ng and caring for the exis ng urban right of way islands and assis ng with the massive 16,500-bulb daffodil plan ngs across the city, Some new MiB projects that could involve David and his volunteer crews are: *Work with the North End Community Improvement Collabora veTeaching Garden to grow annuals to be jointly planted in community beds by teaching garden students and SALT work crews. *Mow grass and maintain floral and crab tree plan ngs along North Main Street from the U.S. 30 overpass to railroad tracks north of Sixth Street. *Help iden fy north-end loca ons for sizeable floral plan ngs to balance the exis ng urban islands on the south end of the city. David and his SALT program collabora on with Mansfield in Bloom have created a learning opportunity with an employment poten al for one crew member who has a significant interest in landscaping as a career. As a result, David will be developing an internship/mentoring program in collabora on with the Mansfield Men's Garden Club. When asked about the most common factor that nega vely affects the young people he encounters, he quickly said it is the poverty that limits their experiences and choices. When asked what the most cri cal benefit he has to offer these youngsters, he said mo va on. “They just want and need encouragement from people who care,” he concluded. ---Tom Brennan is the re red editor of the News Journal and current chairman of the Mansfield in Bloom steering commi ee. Mansfield in Bloom is in its 3rd year, working as a catalyst to improve aspects of Mansfield that include physical appearance, environmental prac ces, historic preserva on and physical ac vi es.

OHIO’S COMMON SENSE

INITIATIVE Are there rules or regula ons that are hindering you from growing your business? Do you want to change Ohio’s regulatory framework to help spur innova on and job crea on? The Ohio Common Sense Ini a ve (CSI) needs your help. CSI’s mission is to look at state regula ons from the perspec ve of job creators in order to make Ohio a be er place to do business. CSI is tasked with reviewing Ohio’s regulatory system to eliminate excessive and duplica ve regula ons that hinder job crea on. While regula ons play an important role in ensuring fair compe on and protec ng public health and safety, regula ons also should facilitate economic growth. Ohio’s regulatory process should be built on transparency, accountability, and performance, and should hold state agencies accountable to those founda ons as they develop and renew regula ons that impact business. Since the program was launched, CSI has reviewed nearly 15,000 state agency regula ons, and has iden fied 60 percent of those regula ons as poten al obstacles to job crea on and economic growth. Those regula ons were amended or rescinded thanks to more than 7,200 comments from businesses and other stakeholders. The effect this public input had on changing Ohio’s regulatory framework illustrates the ability of the CSI rule review process to engage industry stakeholders in the development of more effecve regula ons. Click here and subscribe to receive alerts from the agencies that effect your industry and be a part of the conversa on by submi ng comments through the Business Impact Analysis. You can also help iden fy areas where government hinders your ability to create jobs by submi ng your solu ons to CSIOhio@governor.ohio.gov or by calling 1-855-821-8898.

McQuillin is saving local history, one downtown restora on at a me by Tom Brennan

Steven McQuillin has made a full career of preserving historic buildings. His restora on work began in Mansfield in the 1970s. At age 66, he is back in town with two projects underway and a third dream ini a ve on his mind. McQuillin is not a Mansfield na ve, but first came to the city as a regional historic preserva on officer headquartered at the Mansfield campus of The Ohio State University. During that me, he was ac ve with the planned construc on/expansion of the Mansfield-Richland Public Library. “I take pride in knowing that I worked to convince library officials to preserve a por on of the old building as they launched plans to build a new facility,” McQuillin said. That ini al building, which is a Carnegie library, was opened in 1908. The expanded facility was modernized and dedicated in 1989. McQuillin added that he also helped with restora on plans on Oak Hill Co age, the historic hilltop mansion of John Robinson, superintendent of the Sandusky, Mansfield and Newark Railroad. The house was built in 1847 in the style of Gothic Revival architecture. Oak Hill, which has been on the Na onal Register of Historic Places since 1969, is owned by the Richland County Historical Society and has been open for public tours since 1983. During that ini al s nt in Mansfield, McQuillin said he also authored Mansfield’s current historic preserva on ordinance that was approved in 1980. A er leaving Mansfield, McQuillin moved farther north with historic preserva on work in Cleveland. He assisted with projects such as the Terminal Tower and the successful Warehouse District. He also handled some preserva on efforts in nearby Elyria, including work on the municipal building and the high school. His work also took him to preserva on projects at Oberlin College. He talks about historic preserva on like some folks might describe their religion. He doesn’t comprehend why others don’t comprehend. “I just don’t understand why we con nue to build new when there are so many old structures that served so well in the past and that can be restored for more produc ve use”, he said, adding “Newer is not always be er.” McQuillin lives in Hayesville. His home and office are located in the Vermillion Ins tute, an old college building that he restored. The college is defunct, and the building was vacant for some 80 years. McQuillin describes this project as his most elaborate, admi ng that he probably spent too much money on it. The ornate structure is open to the public for tours twice each year. Hayesville is only a short drive from Mansfield. That convenience, along with his love for finding and resurrec ng scarred but majes c structures in rebounding industrial towns brought him back to the place where he started. He now has two preserva on projects underway in Mansfield – both historic old homes. He says they are clearly hobbies and not money-making enterprises. The Hedrick House was started first. It is a brick gothic style home on West Fi h St. along the northern edge of the downtown. Work has been underway for more than a year and McQuillin expects to finish there this year. The work is being aided by state tax credits. The house will feature two apartments when done. He is also considering building a garage that resembles a former carriage house on the site. The house was built in 1860 and was soon sold to Ann Hedrick. She lived there for a long me and operated a meat market on the property. A er her death, there were several other owners, including George Shuler, whose rela ve wrote a book about her experiences there. Mary Eileen Shuler Levison wrote the book, en tled “The Corner of Fi h and Walnut”. It was published in 1995. The iconic house has been vacant since the 1970s. It is known for its Gothic Revival design, including eye-catching gingerbread trim along the roof line. McQuillin called the trim work “bargeboard”. He said he personally worked to help restore this trim work last year, burning up a saw on the tedious chore. The second house is called the Allonas House and it is located about three blocks north of the Hedrick House. It is very near Oak Hill Co age, just off Springmill Street. It was the home of Joseph Allonas, the owner of the Aultman Taylor Co., a manufacturer of horse-drawn farm implements during the middle of the 19th Century. The company was once the community’s leading employer. McQuillin is near comple on of acquiring the property from the Richland Land Bank. His first priority this year will be a new roof on the house. He hopes to add a tower to the roof line and may convert the house into two apartments. He emphasized that encouraging people to live downtown or near the downtown is a major part of the overall growth plan. His third, and most ambi ous, Mansfield project is s ll a vision. It is not a restora on, but a reconstruc on of a historic downtown building – the courthouse that was demolished in 1969. McQuillin wants to build a 26-unit apartment building that looks just like the old courthouse. It would not be as large, but it would stand as tall with a 75-foot tower. The overall propor ons of the building would be the same. It would be built with modern materials with sandstone trim. The structure would stand where the old courthouse was built in 1870, at the southeast corner of Park Avenue East and South Diamond Street. That would put it on the front lawn of the current county building that was built to replace this old courthouse. It would cost about $5 million. McQuillin gets pumped up when describing the project, but he recognizes he has some convincing to do with city and county officials. He has already begun work on that effort to convince, emphasizing the excitement and energy the project would create. “I think this project would be a tribute to our past and would add interest to our downtown. I am going to talk with all of the downtown stakeholders and I hope to make progress on the idea this year,” he said. McQuillin’s overall goal is to inspire others to save and restore historic old proper es in Mansfield. He knows the center of the community’s retail market was once there before new stores were built on the Miracle Mile on Mansfield’s west side and now in neighboring Ontario. He recognizes that much has already been done to preserve historic buildings downtown by local developer John Fernyak, but he is hoping for more from others. He looks at his career with unmistaken pride but does not boast. “I guess it is accurate to say that there are some buildings in these places that would not be there without me,” he concluded quietly. ---Tom Brennan is the re red editor of the News Journal and current chairman of the Mansfield in Bloom steering commi ee. Mansfield in Bloom is in its 3rd year, working as a catalyst to improve aspects of Mansfield that include physical appearance, environmental prac ces, historic preserva on and physical ac vi es.
