The initial proposal included plans for a 55+ residential community with a community center and walking trail we had a community center on the first drawing with the 55 and up We had a community center up top; we had a walking trail in the back Some people were opposed to that because they said it could bring more traffic and anybody could come and use the community center." Guin emphasized the importance of the site to the community "It really does hold a special place in my heart We used to have community gatherings there That's where we all met up and did everything with our kids."

The Hub includes 11 counties in the central part of the state and Hillview's entry was one of 21 teams statewide moving on to Battelle for competition in the elementary divison There were also middle school and high school divisions "This group was combined from kids who competed last year They knew the expectations and how to present in front of people Ariana and Gunner worked on sliding shoes to put on board while Rylie did a double-sided game board." The students were as stunned as the teachers we were not as confident in ourselves," Bobo said Weisent called Morris the ringleader of the team "Ariana made the other two work harder," she said the group became interested in a food project for Starlab Astronauts eat a lot of packaged dehydrated foods and they wondered what they could do to eliminate the waste from the wrappers They experimented with edible wrappings like plastic and seaweed but they tasted terrible and fell apart when wrapped around food The next solution was encasing the food in edible glass But FaceTime conversations with experts like Granville graduate Emily Matula EVA flight controller and instructor at NASA in Houston mission and payload systems manager for Starlab it would create crumbs that can fly into people's eyes they tried dipping different foods in baker's wax all you could taste was the wax." Bobo said but we were afraid they would not stay fresh," Shonebarger said now director for space sustainability at NASA headquarters "He tried our granola bars and really liked them," Shonebarger said Morris said: "We did a similar challenge last year We've talked to real astronauts and people who work for NASA and learned about space Shonebarger liked talking to a variety of people all the different jobs they have," she said "It was surprising and kind of nerve wracking to go into and see all of the NASA research." Weisent said it was pretty amazing to see the students interact with NASA: "And to have them compliment the kids," she said The students said although their product is finished they are still thinking of ways to tweak it They feel it can have far-reaching effects on Earth being a healthy energy source and easier to distribute and making it easier to eat for people with disabilites The experience has inspired them to continue their interest in NASA They have been invited to the John Glenn NASA Research Center at Cleveland in May Morris and Bobo want to become NASA food scientists "I loved learning about all the different recipes they create and being able to experiment with the food."

A court dispute about how much mobile home park owners were obligated to pay stalled the project for years Brewster Administrator Michael Miller said the estimated $341,000 project will be paid through a $40,000 community development block grant and a state loan that will not need to be paid back after the project is completed He said the mobile park owners have established an escrow account with a balance of roughly $21,000 to cover any costs not covered by the outside funding sources nearly $3,900 is expected to be billed to the escrow account Brewster will gain another 100 new sewer customers after the Stark County Metropolitan Sewer District completes its ongoing sewer line projects in two Sugar Creek Township neighborhoods The $6.9 million project which is being paid through the Stark County commissioners’ allocation of the American Rescue Plan Act includes installing sewer lines in the Harmon and Justus neighborhoods which have been identified as having failing septic systems Once the projects are finished later this year the sewage will flow to the village’s treatment plant and the sewer lines will be turned over to Brewster to operate and maintain Village officials plan to pave with concrete the limestone path along the north side of Seventh Street SE is part of its Safe Routes to School plan that it and Fairless Local Schools are updating to encourage and enable students to walk or ride their bicycles to school from Tuscarawas Avenue NW west roughly 1,473 feet A $27,524 state grant will pay for most of the estimated $38,645 project A manhole will be installed on Wabash Avenue S to allow village crews access to the underground sewers that connect there The estimated $93,000 project is expected to be constructed this fall and be paid through grants or loans which are based on pavement condition ratings from Washington Street SW to the west side of McKinley Avenue SW; McKinley Avenue SW from the south side of Fifth Street SW to the north side of Seventh Street; Main Street from Jackson Avenue SE east to the dead end; Church Street NE from Harmon Avenue NE north to the dead end; McKinley Avenue SW from the north side of Fourth Street SW to the south side of Main Street SW Village officials have allocated additional money to hire more part-time firefighter-paramedics to ensure two EMS workers are available to answer emergency calls at any time only one firefighter-paramedic was available 24/7 so the village often had to rely on neighboring communities to help respond to emergency calls The expanded staffing is estimated to cost roughly $128,500 this year and projected to rise to $132,051 next year council is considering whether to seek a replacement fire levy on the November election ballot generates $132,000 a year and costs the owner of a $100,000 home nearly $79 a year which represents 12% of the fire department's budget will stop collecting revenue at the end of 2026 which will be based on current property values is expected to generate $170,415 a year and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $105 a year Village officials said the additional money also would help the department keep up with rising cost-of-living increases 6 to place the tax issue on the November ballot The concession stand at Bimeler Park at 105 Wabash Ave N is being converted into two accessible bathrooms and a storage area for athletic equipment The nearly $75,000 project is expected to be completed by early summer Village officials also are talking with Fairless Local Schools about taking over ownership of ball fields 5 and 6 which has updated the fields over the past few years already has a written agreement with the school district to manage the two fields It already owns the other four ball fields at the park Reach Canton Repository staff writer Kelli Weir at 330-580-8339 or kelli.weir@cantonrep.com by Brad Rogers SACO (WGME) – A convenience store in Saco closed over the holidays leaving a number of employees still owed money for the work that they did Hillview Market in Saco closed in early December That’s when employees noticed their paychecks starting to bounce "A lot of us have discovered that our paychecks have bounced,” former Hillview Market employee Amy Schuhmacher said Schuhmacher was one of the original employees at Hillview Market She says business was good and doesn't know exactly why it closed What she does know is that she and her co-workers are owed money for the work they did in those final weeks it's been devastating,” Schuhmacher said They're facing possible evictions at this point." Justin Main was the owner and operator of Hillview Market He says he had intended to use the income from the final week to pay employees He says he lost everything when the store closed and he says he's already paid two employees what he owed them Main says he plans to pay back the rest of the employees as soon as possible GAMI founder George Braly said more than 125 STCs were sold and almost 1,000 gallons of G100UL pumped during a promotional event to mark the start of sales of the fuel on Saturday Reid-Hillview Airport last week became the first airport to sell the high-octane unleaded avgas and it offered free STCs and fuel discounts to get the ball rolling "I don't think it could have gone any better," Braly said Braly's company developed the fuel more than 14 years ago and the sales at Reid-Hillview mark the first fuel revenue return from the costly endeavor from Bonanzas and Cirruses to a Cessna 421 twin Most were based at Reid-Hillview but some new customers came from neighboring fields Reid-Hillview defied FAA regulations and banned 100LL over concerns about lead emissions two years ago and any based aircraft that needed the higher octane had to find fuel elsewhere Braly said many of those who got the promotional STCs and fuel expressed relief that they can again fuel up on their home field General Aviation Modifications Inc. (GAMI) is celebrating the availability of its Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)-approved G100UL unleaded aviation gasoline at the Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) in Santa Clara County with some limited-time financial incentives for aircraft operators Aircraft owners/operators based at either KRHV or San Martin Airport (E18) who purchase the GAMI STC before midnight will receive a full refund for the STC cost GAMI will sponsor a licensed aviation technician with Inspection Authorization (IA) onsite at KRHV on Saturday to sign off the FAA-required Form 337 for the STC at no charge to the aircraft owners They must appear in person at the G100UL rollout ceremony that day from 9:00 a.m GAMI has not forgotten those “early adopters” who have already bought and paid for their STC They will receive a credit voucher for 50 gallons of G100UL avgas at KRHV There is a complex set of requirements to participate From the GAMI announcement: “You need to do the following 3 things: 1 Send an email to KRHV@G100UL.com stating your intention to participate and approximately what time on Saturday you would like to be there to have the IA sign off your paperwork Please put your tail number in the subject line Go to https://stc.G100UL.com and purchase the STC for your aircraft Your STC and pre-filled Form 337 paperwork will be emailed to you within minutes You will need the N-number and the engine serial number(s) to complete the online purchase of the STCs November 2nd at or around the time you designated in your email Please bring your printed copies of your downloaded Form 337 and other paperwork with you.” For any questions related to the STC promotion of GAMI G100UL The first retail sale of General Aviation Modifications' (GAMI's) G100UL unleaded high-octane fuel will likely take place today (Oct received 7500 gallons of the STC-approved replacement for 100LL on Monday and employees loaded it into one of two fuel trucks operated by the county GAMI founder George Braly told AVweb the county which banned leaded fuel sales at the airport last year will be selling the fuel at prices comparable to other fuels available at the field and in the same range as 100LL at nearby airports but airport officials were not able to discuss the price of the fuel on Tuesday Perhaps as important as the delivery of the fuel was its journey to San Jose The fuel itself is approved by STC for all engines in certified aircraft on the FAA registry and certification in helicopter airframes is pending But GAMI does not have a fuel specification through ASTM International and most fuel distributors refused to transport it because of that who said he didn't know the name of the transport company said he believed it was a firm that was "interested in being competitive in that (California) marketplace." It took delivery of the fuel at refiner Vitol Aviation's Louisiana plant and drove it to San Jose without incident culminating with the first retail sale of the fuel at Reid-Hillview by definition marks the start of "commercial availability" of the fuel That has legal implications for dozens of California FBOs who are bound by a deal they struck to end a lawsuit by the Center for Environmental Health 10 years ago the FBOs must offer for sale any commercially available fuel that has less lead in it than 100LL Braly said he's aware of at least one other California airport planning to carry the fuel this arrival signals a welcome milestone toward cleaner skies and reduced engine maintenance costs for the aircraft owners," GAMI said in a news release The contractor and civil engineer ECCO

reservoir project in Yonkers, New York The Sweden-based firm’s share of the contract is 75% ECCO III Enterprises is a civil engineer based in Yonkers Work began on the Hillview Reservoir Chemical Addition Facilities Construction project in August 2024 The New York City Department of Environmental Protection decided in March 2019 to cover the concrete-lined Hillview Reservoir, built in 1917, to comply with the Safe Water Drinking Act The reservoir is a key supply of drinking water for New York City providing up to 100% of its clean drinking water The new chemical addition facilities are the first stage of the agency’s $2 billion plan to improve the Hillview Reservoir which encompasses 90 acres in southeast Yonkers The project entails upgrades to the existing north entrance and the addition of two new chemical facilities buildings on the Hillview Reservoir grounds Work will also include the construction and implementation of two new electrical service feeds and associated distribution equipment a new supervisory control and data acquisition system an interim structure for chemical systems used for water quality monitoring and water carry pumps The facility will

provide intergenerational day care for children and adults with dementia The plan is part of a nearly $20 million expansion and remodeling of a county-owned nursing home We don’t have enough child care availability to meet the needs of our community,” said YWCA La Crosse Executive Director Rosanne Northwood “To participate in this intergenerational care center will help us to offer a diversified setting that will align with what some families are looking for for care.” The concept will also provide respite for caregivers friends and neighbors who are taking care of adults with mild to moderate dementia “Maybe there’s an older adult who doesn’t have a younger child in their life and vice versa,” said Carissa Pagel-Smith manager of La Crosse County’s Aging and Disability Resource Center we know that social engagement and staying active and feeling like they’re giving back to their community does slow the progression of dementia.” The ARDC of La Crosse has helped coordinate the project with the county and state and will run the initial pilot program for the first two years the La Crosse County Board of Supervisors approved a $19.6 million remodel and addition to the Hillview Health Care Center In addition to the intergenerational center the project also includes 10 new units of bridge housing for the unhoused renovations to the nursing home and a new Dementia Crisis Stabilization Unit Funds totaling $12 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act will pay for much of the renovation There are still a lot of details to work out They aren’t sure yet how many children and adults will attend the center Pagel-Smith said the facility could offer dementia care for 20 to 40 adults The YWCA expects to have child care for 60 to 70 kids up to the age of 5 The YWCA currently operates a child care center at Western Technical College and may take on the entire intergenerational program after the initial pilot “We’d be able to have that historical knowledge that would aid us in the ability to take on (that dementia care) piece of the programming and be able to continue to offer those (dementia care) services along side the child care in the Hillview Center,” Northwood said La Crosse County’s idea of providing day care for children and adults with dementia addresses challenges happening statewide — with care for both lacking amid a workforce shortage Pagel-Smith said despite a variety of intergenerational models being tested in the state this would be the first organized by county government “A lot of these counties have been sitting with this unused (nursing home) space for a very long time and in some cases have had some of these ideas and have run into those roadblocks that we have approached and have had conversations with the state about,” she said referring to accessibility and ensuring the space and care meets the needs for both age groups The La Crosse County ARDC is still looking for partners to work on the Hillview program They’ve already reached out to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse about opportunities for students to staff the adult care center Pagel-Smith said they will also be cross-training people to work with both the children and adults with dementia The new facility is expected open in December 2025 Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and Wisconsin Educational

Hillview Court in Milpitas the promise of stability and support has led to death Residents have rung warning bells for more than a year about frequent fatal overdoses where bodies aren’t found until the smell reaches other rooms the contractor selected by Santa Clara County to manage the 134-apartment complex boasts of having a wealth of on-site services to focus on the residents’ well-being Milpitas police have recorded five calls for service where a person was pronounced dead at the apartments between Sept Police couldn’t say whether the causes of death were overdoses — which are determined by the coroner — but they’ve repeatedly been called to the apartments about possible overdose emergencies within the last year Coroner officials didn’t respond to requests for their data on deaths at Hillview Friends and family members of the dead believe the actual number is much higher fighting the idea of moving to Hillview after spending time in sober living homes Her father believed Hillview would do more harm than good in his fight to get off hard drugs During her father’s first week at Hillview a nearby resident was found dead in their room “When he moved there he told us it wasn’t a good idea because he’d seen all this drug use there,” Lopez told San José Spotlight it’s so easy to get your hands on them.” after trying and failing to complete the paperwork for another housing program Lopez said she’s waiting for more information from the coroner But his body wasn’t found for five days leaving it so decomposed the family couldn’t hold an open casket funeral “Multiple people had been asking for a welfare check to be done on him,” Lopez said “They said it was smelling in the hallway by his door and nobody had seen him come out of his house the last couple days with his dog.” Abode Services CEO Vivian Wang said the organization is committed to its residents “We are heartbroken when confronted with any loss of life and we offer our deepest condolences to the loved ones of anyone who has passed away at supportive housing sites or while experiencing homelessness,” Wang told San José Spotlight “While we cannot comment on any specific Abode participant or housing resident we can say with confidence that we are deeply committed to our residents We remain very invested in listening to their needs learning what benefits them the most and making sure our

safety Tuitasi ended up at Hillview after suffering a stroke while homeless in San Jose He was taken to Valley Medical Center where social workers helped connect him with Abode He said he believes more people have died at Hillview than the official numbers let on But he also said the overdose problem shouldn’t lead to shutting down a site that’s helped people find stability after Abode helped connect him with a more permanent housing situation “It’s not like the whole apartment (complex) does it,” Tuitasi told San José Spotlight a community organizer who’s keeping track of the deaths at Hillview said she’s frustrated due to the nonprofit’s lack of oversight They’re not doing checks,” Chavez told San José Spotlight Lopez said Abode needs to check in on residents more frequently “People are coming in through the back door and not signing in at the front Sometimes people just sign in and say they’re going to see someone but don’t,” she told San José Spotlight “Have security check the residents every day Have people sign in and out every time they come in and out.” Abode didn’t respond to questions about their resident sign-in and check-in policies In three cases where police responded to a possible overdose a caller from the apartments told dispatchers they suspected a drug overdose they suspected drugs based on the person’s medical symptoms fire personnel determined the patient had consumed an excessive amount of alcohol which required medical treatment describing it as a “valued partner” that provides stable housing to the community’s most vulnerable residents Hillview has become a life raft for people hoping to piece their lives back together therapy and individual supportive services as well as weekly group classes and programs The sessions cover everything from stress management and financial literacy to cooking and harm reduction Lopez described her father as immensely loyal to his family “He was always there if you needed him he was a great painter — he painted this huge painting on his whole wall,” Lopez said But when it was time to be with his family he knew how to kick that stuff to the curb and get it together.” Contact Brandon
