Seven Hills Student Raising Funds For American Legion Post 572

I want to share with you and uplifting story about a 13-year-old Seven Hills resident Shane Sadlowski. Shane is currently a 7th grader at St. Michael’s.

Seven Hills Park Plans Move Forward

First, I want to congratulate the Parma Observer on their 13th Anniversary issue. Next would like to the thank Parma Observer Publisher Daniel P. McCarthy for his article the 2022 Seven Hills Home Days. The picture he took for article was sadly the last photo ever taken of my father before his passing. I have so much to share about our parks and recreation improvements, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t at least briefly touch upon the City of Seven Hills’ finances.  The current financial situation remains strong. As of August YTD, financial statements, the General Fund Unexpended (Cash) Balance is $8.56 million, a particularly strong balance for a city of this size and revenue stream. The August YTD General Fund Revenue at $9.35 million outpaced General Fund Expenses of $7.93 million.  We are currently forecasting to finish the year with a General Fund surplus.  We will once again set aside / dedicate any surplus to the capital improvement fund where it will be applied to future projects such as the 2023 road program.

Seven Hills Home Day & More

Summer is in full swing and outdoor activities are ramping up throughout Seven Hills. One sign of summer is baseball. The Guardians are battling for first place in their division and all 5 City of Seven Hills ball fields are in daily use. We have witnessed such a resurgence of youth in our city that we changed our master plan and intend to bring back a 6th ball field for next season. Our parks and recreation team are doing a great job getting these fields ready for use.  This same team recently assisted in the planting of 61 native trees at The Beverly Nature Preserve at North Park. This planting included 11 different types of trees. The preserve will officially open and be named during a July 8th ceremony at the site.

A Vote For Issue 55 Is A Vote For Fairness

I’m writing in support of Issue 55, which would adjust the Mayor of Seven Hills’ salary to $40,000 for the next mayoral term (beginning December 10, 2023, basically 2024). When I was on council, I was very involved in correcting many long-standing issues in the City of Seven Hills. One issue important to me that we did address was correcting the mayor’s salary, but for one reason or another it did not make the ballot.

Better Together, celebrating 60 years as a city- the theme of Seven Hills 2021 Home Days encompasses what we have all learned over the past year, that we are nothing without our community and have been lucky to have ours for the past 60 years.

To do so, the City of Seven Hills has added a 3rd day to help continue old traditions, make new traditions, and reinvigorate some from the past. Its most iconic events include, a chicken wing eating competition, three days of live music, two days of fireworks and plenty of local food. Each event keeps the audience enthralled as members of the community come together and celebrate the accomplishments of the past. With the old comes the new such as, rides from Big O Amusement, Seven Hills very own WIXY1260 Online broadcasting live from the event, and various classes held at the city’s recreation building. Finally, a community favorite makes a triumphant return as the Adorable Baby Showcase is set to take place on August 29th. These new and old traditions are just a fragment of everything happening. There will be nonstop entertainment that brings together residents from all walks of life that truly showcase the meaning of community.

Seven Hills Spotlight Businesses

This past year is certainly one that will not be soon forgotten. The obstacles and hurdles of 2020 have been well documented. Despite this, it has been this administration’s desire and goal to continue to move our city forward. Indeed, it has been our continued purpose to foster an environment in which our City continues to grow and evolve in the 21st century. While we will continue to meet the challenges 2020 has presented head on, we also believe it is just as critical to embrace success and celebrate accomplishments. One initiative that embodies this is Mayor Biasiotta’s Business of the Month Program, realized early on within the new Administration. While it is unquestionably the residents that form the foundation of any city, the businesses within the community provide an avenue for cities to move forward. Therefore, it was an early priority within this Administration to make this idea into a reality.

Seven Hills Farmers Market Celebrates Five Years!

The City of Seven Hills Farmers Market will open at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 11, 2019 and continue every Thursday through September 26th, 4-7 p.m., at the corner of Hillside Road and Broadview Road. For most of us, there’s no better place to buy fruits and vegetables than at a farmers market. Markets offer food of superior quality and help support locally owned smaller-scale farms. A weekly trip to the Seven Hills Farmers Market is a perfect opportunity to learn more about how and where the food you are purchasing is grown and harvested. Meeting and talking to the farmers is a great way to learn about sustainable growing techniques plus obtain some free advice on cooking tips and meal ideas.  As the saying goes, "know your farmer, know your food." The same can be said for the other artisans that are vendors at the market. Any one of them will be happy to share how they create swoon-worthy bakery, syrup, jams, healthy-for-you skincare products, pet treats, and more!  Take this wonderful opportunity to savor the diversity that our vendors bring.

Emily Duff lived in the Froehlich House on Broadview Road from the day of her birth on June 24, 1902 until her death on January 5, 2006. Her parents Emma and Conrad Apel bought the house from the Froehlich Family in 1896. It had been built by the John Froehlich in 1843. Although the kitchen and bathroom were upgraded, the home retained its character of an earlier day. The original white wainscoting extended around the walls of the rooms. The floors were wide, random-width pine. Crisp, white Priscilla curtains covered the original windows, with their twelve lights. Large quarry stones made up the floor of the cellar. On one side of the cellar, steps led to a door at ground level. This was used to roll down barrels which carried supplies that were stored in the cellar.
