CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) — Rick Nelson has been recovering at his Seven Hills home for 10 days after a 10-day stay in the hospital. He and his family are grateful he could see his daughter get married, and be home for his 37th anniversary and Father’s Day because he almost didn’t make it to any of them.

On May 31, six days before his daughter Rachel’s wedding, Nelson was feeling chest pains. He was quickly taken to the Marymount Emergency Room. Within minutes of being there, he was taken via helicopter to Cleveland Clinic’s main campus in Cleveland.

A mechanical device was put in his heart to keep it pumping and he was given blood thinners after it was discovered he had severe blockage. Because of the blood thinners, it wasn’t safe to perform open-heart surgery for several days.

It was scheduled as early as possible, which turned out to be June 4 — just two days before the wedding.

The surgeon who performed the procedure, Dr. Faisal Bakaeen, told FOX 8 that it takes five days to be healthy enough to be discharged after a procedure like this, but Nelson was telling every caregiver he could that he needed to be at that wedding.

Cleveland Clinic staff decided that since Nelson couldn’t travel to the wedding, they were going to help bring the wedding to him.

They coordinated to change the venue of the ceremony to the hospital’s rooftop and got Nelson cleaned up and dressed for the wedding.

Bakaeen said Nelson’s power of the mind over his body helped his recovery.

“He was really determined to get better and that helped. I’m a true believer in that, and he did it. We did our part, but he did his part and we are very happy with the outcome,” he said.

It was an emotional moment. Every Cleveland Clinic employee who wasn’t helping a patient watched Nelson get wheeled up to experience a first look with his daughter and then escort her down the aisle with nearly 100 friends and family members watching.

Rachel, who’s last name is now Schultz after marrying her husband Dana, told FOX 8 those moments took away all the stress of nearly losing her father and then seeing him go through a major surgery while also dealing with last-minute wedding preps.

“It was just so reassuring just in that moment of like, OK, all the worry kind of washed away,” Schultz explained. “It’s not how I pictured it, but [it was] better than I could’ve imagined.”

“It meant the world to me,” Rick said. “I had something to come back and live for. I just kept saying why didn’t they take me, then I just started thinking about the wedding. I just want to see my daughter walk down the aisle.”

After the fact, as they sat on their couch, Rick and Gail Nelson were able to reflect on how scary the situation really was.

“I didn’t know how bad it was at that point,” Gail recalled thinking back to the first trip to the hospital on the 31st. “It wasn’t until after that it hits you that ‘Oh my god, I could’ve lost him.’”

But they were so thankful for the staff at the clinic and how accommodating and helpful they were. From getting Rick a clean shave, dressed, and all ready to go for the wedding to covering the parking for all of the wedding guests. They told FOX 8 it was top notch.

“The Cleveland Clinic, the doctors, the nurses, everything, were just fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for better,” Rick said.

Bakaeen told FOX 8 it was just as special for him and the team of caregivers who worked so hard to make sure Rick didn’t miss one of the most important days in Rachel’s life.

“I have a daughter and there’s nothing that would stop me from attending her wedding,” Bakaeen said. “This was special for him, but very special for me and the team.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Ohio’s second Buc-ee’s has been approved south of Cleveland in Richland County, but neighbors next door are not happy.

An online petition opposing the location has over 1,800 signatures, the petition is unnamed. Among those opposed is the Stadelman’s, a farming family right next to the field, who will go from a quiet rural exit to a popular destination.

Rachel Stadelman and her husband Nick farm the land bordering the future Buc-ee’s site. All that separates them is a gravel road.

From farmland to gas pumps

Right now, the exit is farmland on every corner. But Buc-ee’s is betting on the interstate traffic. The Texas-based travel center has become like a tourist destination.

The same 37.5 acres the Stadelmans lease and farm today will be over 100 gas pumps by 2028.

“I don’t know how we’re going to do it. Most of our farms are in Mansfield, so we have to go right through all of it,” Rachel Stadelman said.

Safety concerns on the highway

The Stadelmans raise cattle right next to the proposed site. They drive farm equipment, like tractors, trailers and combines on highway 39, the same route that will carry Buc-ee’s visitors every day. Some of that equipment is 16 feet wide.

“My husband’s been hit out here. He was on a smaller utility tractor. It broke a vertebra in his back. And I was in a hayfield heading toward Lucas, probably a quarter mile down the road, and I got hit,” Rachel Stadelman said.

Rachel Stadelman, emotional at times, said she fears what comes next for her family.

“The girls are just used to running around wild out here with me. Now I’m going to be scared of leaving them for a second. They’re going to have to stay with me all day. I won’t be able to take my eyes off of them. It just makes me sick,” she said.

Economic impact vs. farming future

Supporters point to the economic impact. Mansfield’s mayor Jodie Perry posted on social media after the council approved the project on June 2, saying Buc-ee’s will be a major economic boost for the city.

Buc-ee’s by the numbers, according to Perry:

• Buc-ee’s will spend $50 million to build the store
• $25 million in annual sales
• Up to 225 full-time jobs and 200 part time jobs (starting pay $18/hour
• Annual payroll is expected be $9 million

The city approved a financing deal through a New Community Authority. Under the agreement, Buc-ee’s will front the cost of building the necessary infrastructure, then get reimbursed through a 2% surcharge on retail sales at the store, excluding fuel. Of that 2%, the vast majority goes back to Buc-ee’s to cover its infrastructure costs, plus 6.35% interest. Once those costs are fully paid off, the surcharge drops to a quarter percent.

But for the Stadelmans, the math doesn’t add up.

“I don’t know how we’re going to farm anymore. I think it’s going to put us out of business,” Rachel Stadelman said.

Buc-ee’s did not respond to a request for comment.
