EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Ken Fisher, ONLA Executive Director, ken@onla.org

What we do together matters when it comes to growing and protecting the future of our industry in Ohio and beyond. All indications point to another six months of favorable economic and market conditions for most segments of our industry. There are more vaccines rolling out daily, businesses are operating safely, and hopeful signs of curves flattening are on the horizon that will lead to a return to “normalcy” in our society. But it will likely take another six months to get there. Work from home and school from home should provide a lift for our home improvement segment for a few more quarters. Let the 2021 landscaping and gardening season begin! But…I reminded of lessons from The Beer Game. The Beer Game is a supply chain simulation developed at MIT in the 1960s. It features a beer retailer, wholesale distributor, and brewery all trying to coordinate their business to optimize their revenue and profits. In the game, the ordinary order-ship-produce cycle of a consumer good is outlined, complete with order process, lead times, and who takes possession of the product at each step, among others. To simulate the real world, there’s a four-week lag between the time the retailer orders and receives the beer from the wholesaler, and a four-week lag between the time the wholesaler orders and receives the beer from the brewery. The brewery takes two weeks to brew the beer upon receipt of order from the wholesaler. In the game, a popular brew called Lover’s Beer has steady retail sales of four cases a week, so the retailer has 12 cases on hand to account for the reorder process. Out of the blue, the product experiences a sales spike and doubles to sell eight cases in a week. It seems there’s no apparent reason—no promotions, advertising, etc. (by week four you discover there is a new music video featuring Lover’s Beer!). When this happens a second time, the retailer decides to double his next order. It too sells out. So, he increases his order again and so on. Quickly the beer becomes backordered. Wanting to meet consumer demand, the retailer keeps weekly orders in the system in hopes of getting product first when the back order resolves. The wholesale distributor ramps up his orders to the brewery who in turn starts producing more and more Lover’s Beer. The game is generally played through 24 weeks in which time the excess and constraints of the system become amplified. And of course, about halfway through the game, demand for Lover’s Beer plummets as the music video runs its course. onla.org

I’ll jump to the punch line: Consumer and market exuberance, if abruptly changed or stopped, can leave someone in the supply chain “holding the beer”. In the Beer Game, our retailer, and each of his competitors who sell Lover’s Beer, doubled their orders to meet the demands of their customers. The wholesale distributor did her job to keep the product moving smoothly through the system to fill the growing backlog of orders. And the small brewery, sensing it had finally hit it “big”, expanded production to fill the rapid escalation of orders. Ultimately, the supply ends up with over 220 truckloads of Lover’s Beer flowing through the supply chain without market demand. Fingers get pointed as to who caused the problem. This is a complete oversimplification of the Beer Game and the many lessons to be learned. But some health experts, including Bill Gates, have projected that the pandemic may subside as quickly as it started. When we reach population immunity it’s possible that consumer discretionary dollars may quickly migrate away from home projects and back to eating out, travel, and other consumer experiences. It could happen with little warning. I’m not sounding an alarm or trying to put a damper on the season, but keeping a careful eye on your inventory, order book, and cash flow will be prudent if the “music suddenly stops”. As we move boldly into our 2021 season, I want to thank you for your membership and support of ONLA. We will continue to work hard to provide the programming, advocacy, and employee development opportunities to help your business grow and succeed. Your continued membership and participation in ONLA events will encourage others to join. Help us get the word out: the industry benefits from a growing ONLA membership. Because “what we do together matters."B

PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE Devon Stanley, Benchmark Landscape Construction Inc. The name of this article is called “President’s Perspective”. I don’t know that I am an expert on any subject where anyone would really be interested or desiring to hear my perspective but none the less, I have been given the space and will choose to write about things I am passionate about or feel are important to our industry's success and sustainability into the future. By the time this issue hits your mailbox most of our state will be winding down an active winter season of snow and ice services and be jumping right into our busiest season of the green industry: Spring. We will all be busy cleaning up properties, finalizing maintenance on equipment, increasing inventory to sell, ramping up our marketing campaigns, and making sure the green that makes us green—plants—are emerging and growing as intended. In order for all that to happen we all rely on one thing to accomplish our goals: qualified people. Countless colleagues have mentioned that this is the one thing in business that is frustrating. I agree and feel it is a major issue that we all need to address. There are many reasons as to why younger generations are not entering our industry in the numbers they once were back in the '80s, '90s and even early 2000s and I don’t claim to think that any one solution is the answer. In fact, I think in reality there are many things we should be doing to solve this problem and would love to have an open discussion with anyone interested in talking through solutions.

We need to introduce our profession and educate about the value that it brings to all of our communities, especially during this time when consumers are spending more time outside and nature is playing an even more important role in our lives. I also serve on advisory boards for five vocational-based programs and have helped three comprehensive high school programs through FFA. I have firsthand experiences with the qualified individuals coming from these programs. I challenge our members to get involved, be a mentor, serve on an advisory board, or donate supplies or equipment to train these students for competition. I am hopeful that by the time you are reading this, schools are back in a position to be in person 100%. The opportunities for you to give back and to meet the future of our industry will reap rewards in ways you don’t expect. Our company has and will continue to employ individuals coming from these types of curriculum-based programs. Is it a perfect solution to gain qualified people? No, but it's a start. These students already have an interest in our profession and they are being trained to the exact specifics that our industry required. There are over 55 school programs in Ohio and the ONLA staff can help you contact them to begin your journey mentoring and hiring qualified young professionals. Please reach out to a few in your area this spring! B

I have seen results in our outreach to high school Juniors and Seniors through ONLA's major workforce development initiative, the Ohio High School Landscape Olympics (OHLO). OHLO partners with high school and career centers around the state who have a green industry-based curriculum. This year, we'll host our sixth OHLO competition on October 14 & 15. I am proud to be a founding member of the event committee for OHLO. The initiative was established as a way to increase excitement and awareness to our industry by providing a hands-on experience rather than the traditional testing of knowledge. The students can get a sense of career experiences through competitive events and can also take advantage of many networking opportunities throughout the two-day event. OHLO is a hybrid of what you see in NALP’s collegiate landscape competition and national LIC certification testing. Not only has the program been great for students but it has also opened the eyes of parents and administrators to the endless possibilities for their student.

PREPARE FOR THE 100 DAYS OF VICTORY Marty Grunder, Grunder Landscaping Co. For years we called the time from mid-March to July 4 the 100 Days of Hell. All our people, resources, and equipment are stretched to their limits as we try to meet our deadlines and keep our clients happy. My coaching client and friend, Jeffrey Johns, who runs an impressive company in Georgia called Coastal Greenery, told me that at his company they’ve reframed this time period and now call it the 100 Days of Victory. It’s a much more positive way to look at the challenge ahead for our companies: these next 100 days will be challenging, but they also hold tremendous opportunity for landscape pros. Our mindset makes a big difference and focusing on the opportunity ahead rather than feeling sorry for ourselves is powerful. When we approach the challenges we face with a positive, cando attitude, it’s amazing what we can accomplish. That’s become even more apparent in the last 365 days, as my company and no-doubt many others in Ohio have faced obstacles to our success left and right. As we approach the busiest time of the year, I want to equip you with the tactics that can help you navigate it well:

around our goals for the day. Teamwork is one of our four core values at GLC because we understand that for us to be successful we must work effectively together. All three of these tips have something in common: they’re ways you can help your teams to have more good days than bad days. This improves efficiency, helps everyone to better manage their time, and keeps a handle on morale in a time when it can be easy for teams to feel overworked and defeated by the challenges they face. As the 100 Days of Victory get closer, prepare your plan now so that you can manage your time and maximize your wins. We’ll be holding a virtual workshop to go deeper into how pros can do this, Time Management for Landscape Pros, on March 10. In three quick-hitting, one-hour sessions Grow Group vice president Vince Torchia and I will share how landscape professionals can set themselves up to have their ideal day, week, and month. Learn more and register on our website: growgroupinc.com/time-management-for-landscape-pros B

Get Organized Few things impact a business as greatly as organization. A smooth morning roll-out is key to a successful day, and it’s hard to do that when the team can’t easily find what they need and get out the door. If you don’t have a system in place already, work on organizing the tools, equipment, and materials your crews need so that they can find it on their own without waiting for someone to help them. At Grunder Landscaping Co., we have toolboxes on the truck to store commonly used tools and organize any specialty tools in the shop so crews can easily grab whatever they need. Keeping most of the tools on the truck reduces time in the morning and afternoon. Create Detailed Plans At GLC, we will not schedule a job until we have all of the details required to do the job. Our sales people create drawings, notes, and workorders as if they wouldn’t be available to answer questions or meet the production crew on the jobsite once they start the work. When I was younger, I sometimes would just sketch out a drawing and plan on going to the jobsite to show the crew what needed done. I thought that saved time, but I now realize that time spent planning and documenting ahead of time is more effective and efficient than time spent explaining after work begins. Gather the Troops Each morning our entire field crew gathers for a quick safety circle. It may seem counterintuitive when we’re trying to save time, but this time together as a team gets everyone centered onla.org

CHANGES IN OSHA ARE ON THE WAY Gary W. Hanson- American Safety and Health Management Consultants

With the change of every administration in Washington, there comes a change in government policy. With this change there will be no exception. This includes OSHA will look very different under the Biden Administration. President Biden was endorsed for the presidency by more then 40 unions. They are interested in stricter standards, increased compliance officers and increased penalties. President Biden is being pushed to appoint a safety and health professional from organized labor as the next OSHA Chief. President Biden wants a new emergency temporary standard for (COVID-19). He wants to double the number of OSHA inspections. His transition team for the Labor Department includes four union representatives, the Director of CAL/OSHA, a staffer from Bernie Sanders' office, and two officials with the National Employment Law Project, one of the most vocal critics of OSHA. Critics of OSHA complain that during the Trump Administration, there was no clear direction from the top. The number of inspections dropped to the lowest level in 50 years. There have not been nearly enough COVID-19 related inspections and the penalties are insufficient. Monetary penalties are too small and criminal sanctions too weak. Current OSHA standards are antiquated as are hundreds of chemical exposure standards. Many observers agree the agency needs to modernize a more dynamic safety and health management system that must be endorsed and encouraged. A mindset change is needed to think safe. A safety culture needs to be emphasized by companies.

• Focus more on actual risks and severity and probability. • Reduce the current Permissible Exposure Limits on a number of chemicals. • Provide better resources to the staff. • Focus on no more than 12 to 16 priorities. There will be an ongoing debate in the future over OSHA’s role. More liberal activists believe that OSHA is first and foremost an enforcement agency. More egregious violations need to be jailed. Shame, blame, and make an example of businesses that violate health and safety regulations. New standards need implemented and strictly enforced. Only time will tell if all these changes will be fully implemented, but it is certain that changes will be taking place. I recommend that a careful audit of your safety program be undertaken. Update them where necessary, ensure your employee safety training is upto-date, inspect your Plant facilities on a regular basis to ensure safe conditions are maintained, promote the value of safety, and correct any unsafe items brought to your attention. You cannot prevent the changes that are coming, but by being proactive you can reduce the negative consequences they may have on your business. B Contact Gary Hanson at 330.845.4577 (Office) or 330.495.3437 (Cell Phone).

This must be OSHA’s focus as well to encourage industry to follow. Many high-ranking OSHA officials agree that a new vision needs to be implemented and that vision passed down to all Compliance and Health Officers. This includes: • Emphasize health and safety. • COVID-19 compliance is necessary. • More focus on reducing fatalities outside the regulatory process. • Promote updated safety management standards. onla.org

LWB Designs, LLC, “Mid-Century Modern” Grand Award, Residential Installation $50,001 & Over After renovating and restoring this 1968 mid-century modern home in 2016, the owners turned to the landscape. The architecture was constructed around an existing shagbark hickory tree. On approach, the low-profile home is seen atop a newly restored concrete driveway and partially nestled at the base of a wooded hillside. The landscape design accentuates the home's architecture by using simple materials in a geometric framework. Unique transitions, access points and views into nature blur the inside and outside of the dwelling.

Winter Interest Reevaluating the Landscape With Winter Eyes Bobbie Schwartz, FAPLD

Even during the gray days of winter, we tend to see our landscapes as they were during the growing seasons rather than seeing them as they are now. It would behoove us, I think, to do two things: Look out the windows and see what attracts our attention; then, actually go outside into the gardens and look closely at what keeps them interesting.

Winter gardens at the author's home

In the first instance, some things will be close but others will be more distant. I know that when I look out one of my east windows, I immediately see the lacy green foliage of Thujopsis dolobrata ‘Nana’ that is planted in the bed just outside the window. This false arborvitae is a great four-season conifer that the deer never bother, stays reasonably small at four feet tall and wide (it’s been in my garden for at least twenty-five years with minimal pruning), and is very adaptable to a variety of soils and light conditions. There are two other cultivars, ‘Aurea’ and ‘Variegata’, that I have in other locations. Sadly, not enough nurseries are growing this wonderful plant.

Directly outside my west windows are Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Snowflake’. Their attraction during the winter is exfoliating bark and retained large deadheads. Looking across the small lawn outside my north-facing windows, the main attractions are Chamaecyparis thyoides ‘Shiva’, Thujopsis dolobrata ‘Aurea’, Juniperus chinensis ‘Eternal Gold’, and Picea abies 'Acrocona'. The Chamaecyparis thyoides ‘Shiva’ has extremely lacy foliage but needs annual pruning because it hasn’t read the catalog that said it would only grow five to eight feet all. Juniperus chinensis ‘Eternal Gold’ also needs to read the catalog. It would supposedly only grow three feet tall. Although late fall is not the recommended time for pruning conifers, I usually wait until November and then use the prunings in my winter containers. The main attraction of the spruce is its unusual shape but I also love its pinky/purple cones in the Spring. The other eye-catcher to the north is Heptacodium miconioides with its pale, creamy, exfoliating bark.

Thujopsis dolobrata 'Nana' When I look out the south-facing front windows, away from the house, what I mostly see during the winter are ornamental grasses like Panicum and Molinia that have been flattened by snow. However, Pennisetum does retain its mounding shape. The other exception is Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’. I planted this Maiden Grass long before we knew that this genus can be a problem with reseeding. I will say, however, that although my clumps have enlarged over the years, I never found any seedlings. Although snow may initially flatten this particular cultivar, as soon as the snow melts, the inflorescence stalks stand back up.

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’ undaunted. 22 The Buckeye

onla.org

Many details of interest are lost until you actually go into the gardens. For instance, each day as I walk down the driveway for my daily walk, I pass my Paeonia suffruticosa ‘Shimanishiki’. Its architecture is that of an open, woody shrub but what I love the most are the large, stiff, distinctive seedheads. Even though it is sited in the southwest portion of my front garden, it has ignored the dictum that it would not thrive in a windy location.

Winter color doesn’t have to be green. It can be the bronze of Iris siberica foliage, the silver of Lavandula 'Hidcote', or the beige of Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' deadheads.

The deadheads of Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shimanishiki' appear winged. Are they getting ready to fly away? Another shrub that always catches my eye is Cephalanthus occidentalis ‘Moonlight Fantasy’ (aka ‘Magical Moonlight’). This cultivar of the native Buttonbush is slightly smaller than the species and adapts well to most garden sites, not just swampy ones. The sputnik-like white, summer flowers evolve into small brown spheres by winter and hang on until the plant refoliates in Spring.

Cephalanthus deadheads My lavender plants edge part of the driveway and their silverygray foliage seems oblivious to cold and snow. As I walk past, I always hear a little voice reminding me that I will need to prune it once Spring arrives but I don’t enjoy that silver any less during this time when so much of the garden is dormant. onla.org

Scattered around the gardens are several cultivars of Helleborus. Those large, leathery green leaves always make me smile because I can envision how lovely the blooms will be once warmer temperatures spur them on. A little used evergreen groundcover is Campanula poscharkyana (Serbian Bellflower). It has tiny, scalloped foliage that is impervious to winter. When May comes, it will be covered with lilac-blue stars. Several years ago, I planted it in the two containers by my side door. With a mind of its own, it winters over in the containers but has also claimed some of the gravel bed below the containers so I see it almost every day.

A plethora of hellebores under an ancient crabapple. All of this rambling is a reminder to take another look at your garden and your client’s gardens during the winter. Is there enough interest to lift spirits during the gray days? B Bobbie may be contacted at bobbie@bgthumb.com. Photos courtesy of Bobbie Schwartz. March/April 2021

I developed my love for agriculture at the age of 12. My father brought me to work with him at his nursery and I have been working in nurseries ever since. I started my career with Ridge Manor and Willowbend Nurseries in 2008, which is where my passion truly ignited. My love for the job and eagerness to learn and grow helped me obtain the Production Manager position in 2012. I absolutely love what I do for the company. As a team, we are always trying new, exciting things and expanding our knowledge while bettering our practices. As a hobby, I joined a group called the NGLCO to continue my journey and learn more to perfect my craft. I became the president of the group in 2020. It has been a great experience. I am excited to see what the future holds for me in this business. March/April 2021 25

In Memoriam

Donna Aikens Sabo, age 87 of Perry, Ohio died Dec. 17, 2020. She was with family and under the loving care of the Hospice House in Euclid. Donna was born Nov. 1, 1933 in Youngstown, PA. She grew up in Midland, PA, graduating as salutatorian of her high school class and went on to graduate from The Pennsylvania State University. She was an avid fan and supporter, right down to her PSUGRAD license plate. Donna taught high school English in Beaver Falls Pennsylvania, and following her move to Ohio, taught at Shaker Heights, Painesville (Riverside), and Madison. Donna was a founding member of Sabo‘s Woodside Nursery. She kept the books and peace between Jim and Brian. She followed her passion for educating children even during her time off from teaching to raise her sons, by serving two terms on the Madison School Board, including several years as President. Donna married James E. Sabo of Painesville on Aug. 15, 1959 in Midland, PA, during a heat wave in a church without air conditioning, yet the stories only spoke of a beautiful wedding. Donna and Jim lived most of their lives in Madison, Ohio, in the home Jim built that they designed together. As the years passed, they enjoyed many winters in The Villages, Florida. Donna balanced teaching, tending her two sons, membership in the Western Reserve Junior Service League with helping many charitable endeavors. She was an active member of her book club and thrived on the challenges and successes of her five granddaughters; they were her passion and joy. A loyal friend, smart with a keen memory, and incredibly courageous. She stood up to power and never shied away from adversity. Once she set her mind to something, you knew she would accomplish it. She was a huge sports fan, her Nittany Lions were her first love, but she could name the starting quarterback for every NFL team and tell you which coaches should be relieved of their duties. She lived in a Buckeye household, but “We are Penn State” was heard on a frequent basis. Donna was preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Petrosky Aikens, father, Claire Aikens and brother, Ronald. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Jim, sons Tim, (Linda), (Lincoln, NE), and Brian, (Barb) (Madison, OH), granddaughters Kristen (Portland, OR), Jamie (Baltimore, MD), Kylie (LA, CA), Caroline and Rebecca (Madison, OH). Donna’s final resting place will be the Fairview Memorial Cemetery in Madison, OH. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Hospice of Western Reserve, 300 E 185th Street, Cleveland, OH 44119. DUCRO FUNERAL Services and CREMATORY,4524 Elm Avenue, Ashtabula, Ohio is assisting the family. To plant a tree in memory of Donna Sabo, please visit www.ducro.com

Belinda Eileen Molihan Jones, 56, of Hilliard, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord on Feb. 8, 2021. Belinda was born Jul. 9, 1964 to two loving parents, Keith Franklin Molihan and Judy Cray Molihan. She was raised in Vinton County, Ohio along with her late brother, Brian Franklin Molihan. She was devoted to her brother and honored her parents above all others. Belinda was always immensely proud of her small-town Ohio roots. Even in high school, she was an active promoter of the community and the hometown values she experienced there. She graduated from Vinton County High School in McArthur, Ohio where she, in true Belinda “do it all” fashion, was both a cheerleader on the sidelines and a flutist in the band at halftime. She also played piano for her local church, Wilkesville United Methodist, and was involved in the Junior Miss competition of Vinton County, which she won as a teenager and later helped judge. From there, Belinda earned her undergraduate Public Relations degree through Capital University. She went on to work at the Statehouse while completing Capital Law School at night. Belinda greatly valued education and continued giving back to Capital University by serving on the Board for the past several years. During her thirty plus years in and around the Statehouse, Belinda built a career on her sterling reputation as a hardworking and smart advocate. She started in the Ohio House Clerk’s office of Speaker Vernal G. Riffe and then worked as a legislative aide to Mark Malone. From there, she served as Corporate Counsel for The Scott’s Company and finally as Legislative Counsel for The Capitol Consulting Group. From the beginning, Belinda was incredibly dedicated to her clients and went well above and beyond what was necessary. In many cases, she developed close personal friendships with her clients that lasted long after their professional relationship had concluded.

Throughout her life and career, she had a significant impact on many charitable organizations and nonprofit foundations. This includes Big Brothers Big Sisters, March of Dimes, CATCH Court, Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Akron Children’s Hospital, Sam’s Fans, and several others. Anyone who met Belinda knows of her deep devotion to her children. She was so proud of them, not so much for their accomplishments, but for their character and their active faith; they were her shining pride and joy. Not only did she give all she had to their happiness, she also enveloped every single friend they brought home. Known as “Aunt B” to many, she always had an encouraging word and a bowl of soup to anyone who walked through her door. To be a friend of the Jones siblings was to be loved by Belinda. Her greatest legacy, however, is her strong belief in God and His goodness. She was a rock-solid follower of Christ; through seasons of blessings and trials, her mantra was “To God Be The Glory”. She loved her Bible, loved pouring into small groups of younger women, and loved her local churches-- Powell United Methodist and Linworth Baptist. Belinda is survived by her mother, Judy; her children, who are indebted to her constant encouragement and love, Logan Jones (Layne), Trent Jones (Kiera Miller), Hannah Jones Zimmerer (Bobby); her new baby grand-daughter, Eleanor Jones; and too many friends to count. She was preceded in death by her brother, Brian Molihan; and father, Keith Molihan, who passed away just 6 months ago on Aug., 1 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you give back to the community, just as Belinda loved to do, by donating to the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, Big Brother Big Sisters, or Freedom al la Cart, a Columbus program that partners with CATCH court in helping women who have been caught in human trafficking: 5000 Arlington Center Blvd., 43220.

No matter if you were a high profile politician, senior official, aide, intern, or security guard, Belinda made you feel special. She went out of her way to show everyone kindness, not because it would advance a professional agenda, but because she just wanted to brighten everyone’s day. Belinda’s Statehouse colleagues have endless stories demonstrating her faith, love, and generosity; it was Belinda’s early morning text to let you know she prayed for you, the flowers to a friend, the words of affirmation and encouragement, her kind smile, and the hug when no words would do. The halls of the Statehouse were daily brightened by her light.
