The Road & Bridge Renewal Levy will be on the November 3, 2020 ballot.  This levy generates $220,000, which is nearly 50% of the Service Department's total budget.  For more information regarding the work of the Service Department and the Levy, see the following:  https://www.northfieldcenter.com/election-information/.  

Halloween is more important than ever this year as we navigate the new normal together and are seeking opportunities to celebrate safely.  

The City of Macedonia, Sagamore Hills, Northfield Center, and Northfield Village have collaboratively agreed to a traditional Halloween Trick-or-Treat, which will be held on Saturday, October 31, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Trick-or-Treaters are to approach homes with porch lights on only.  

We hope to provide parents a reliable source to help them celebrate the Halloween holiday in the most safe, fun way possible.  The following are some of Governor Dewine's "Celebrating Halloween" guidelines:

• Children and those handing out candy should wear masks at all times.
• Always maintain 6-feet of social distancing with those outside your household.
• Wipe off candy wrappers with sanitizing wipes when you arrive home.  
• Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers. 
• Limit the number of houses you visit.  
• Avoid large gatherings of individuals outside your household.
• If your child is at higher at-risk for COVID complications, contact your doctor before allowing participation.
• Use creative ways to distribute treats, such as using a candy "slide".
• Please visit the complete list of Recommendations for Celebrating Halloween:  https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/responsible/celebrating-halloween

We are asking all drivers to be extremely cautious when backing into and out of your driveway. Drive slower than the speed limit. Be extra cautious when taking corners and passing through crosswalks.

Not only does Halloween 2020 fall on a Saturday, it also happens to be a full moon AND daylight savings time. In addition to all this mystical magic, trick-or-treating will also occur during a blue moon this year, the second full moon of October!

The stars have clearly aligned, so put your scariest Halloween costumes on, decorate your house and conjure up a spell for a fantastically frightening evening.

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy.

The next Summit County ReWorks Document Shredding and Recycling Event is next Saturday, September 12, 2020.  It is to be held at the Barberton Community (BCF) Sports Complex.  The BCF Sports Complex is located at 841 Wooster Road West, 44203.  The hours of operation will be 9 AM to noon. 

Please place the documents to be shredded in your vehicle's trunk or the back of your truck.  There is a limit of 10 file boxes/grocery bags per vehicle.  And remember that, for this year, you shouldn't use nice boxes you'd want back when transporting, as ReWorks are not returning containers at Document Shredding and Recycling Events either. 

One question that does come up for these events is:  "Can I attend a shredding event in a city where I don't live?"
The answer is yes, as long as you are a Summit County resident or business.  ReWorks, a quasi- government agency,  is the solid waste management authority for all of Summit County.  ReWorks moves these events around the county, with the goal of reaching as many Summit County residents as possible.
