The Great Geauga County Fair Edition Inside
By Margie Wilber
The Village of Middlefield launched its new, two-faced Web site this week, less than 4 months after Mayor Ben Garlich all but declared war on the area’s much-too-long economic slide.
“We will not use the global economic crisis as an excuse for complacency,” says Garlich. “We are determined to bring the Village of Middlefield to new heights and to do that we simply must up our game.”
The redesigned site, www.middlefieldohio.com, has a double purpose: 1) to showcase the area’s rural beauty, unique charm, and many attractions and services to residents and future residents, and 2) to make a compelling case to commercial and industry sectors to build or move business to Middlefield. The site is the first visible outcome of Middlefield Means Business, a three-year stimulus
plan developed by Garlich and the Village’s newly formed Economic D e v e l o p m e n t C o m m i t t e e . Businesses can bypass the residential Web site by using www.middlefieldmeansbusiness.com.
“We have to demonstrate to
business leaders that we will rally around them and respond to their needs,” Garlich maintains. “We have the shovel-ready land. We have numerous tax incentives. We have a wealth of natural resources, good transportation and competitive
utilities. And we have an extremely high-performing, nonunion workforce. There is no reason we shouldn’t have manufacturing and other industries forming a line at our

f you enjoyed watching the Olympic equestrian sports on television this month, you can have a chance to experience it right
here in Middlefield on Sept.1 and 2. More than 100 riders from surrounding states are expected to travel to the area for the annual South Farm Fall Horse Trial.
The Horse Trial is similar to 3-day eventing, but combines all three riding disciplines—dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping over 2 days. Divisions are offered, from introductory to advanced, with varying degrees of difficulty designed to test the ability and versatility of the horse and rider in the multiple disciplines. Many breeds, colors and sizes of horses can be seen at the competition. Penalty points are assessed for errors, including riding too fast or too slowly, and the duo with the lowest score wins the event.
“We look forward to a great event, seeing all our friends return to the horse show and greeting all the spectators who just come out to watch and enjoy the day. We are grateful for the support of our sponsors: Big Dee’s Tack and Vet Supplies, CANTER of Northeast Ohio, Fairmount Sports and Recreation, The Middlefield Post, Schneider’s Saddlery and Western Reserve Farm Cooperative. These organizations are supporting our great sport of

eventing and helping us to put on a wonderful event for everyone,” said Sarah Greer, owner of South Farm.
If you are looking for a fun, free activity for your family, grab some lawn chairs and head over to South Farm to watch the multiple phases of the horse trial. The horse show is
expected to start around 8 a.m. on Sept.1, with dressage and cross-country. Sunday’s stadium jumping competition is expected to begin around 8:30 am. The farm is located at 8398 Bundysburg Road. For information, visit www.southfarm.netor call 440-632-5501.

The building where Smoker Friendly is currently located was once known as Ernie Patchin’s Grocery & Meat Market. Many a summer afternoon was passed by the townsfolk sitting out front on the benches watching the world pass by. It was a busy place where everyone would stop in with their lists and items where handpicked by store employees for them. Ernie Patchin was the father–in-law of Marie Patchin, a long-time third grade teacher in the elementary school. Her husband Elmo enjoyed photography and many local pictures, including this one, were taken by him.
Timea look back inBy Rick Seyer
This picture takes us back to the days of simpler times around 1941, when Middlefield only had one policeman. Charles Saywer stands next to his new, nearly unmarked police car, proudly showing it off. The building in the background is the building that currently houses Fig Tree. At the time the picture was taken, the stores were Lampson Hardware on the west end, then Dean Stores, a department type store, then Wm Duchac Drug Store, and finally on the east end was the Middlefield Post Office. This area could have been known as Middlefield’s first shopping center.

The third Annual Middlefield Car Show benefiting Shop With a Cop was held Aug. 11. This is a unique program that provides holiday shopping for families in need. A $250 Walmart gift card given to each child who shops with a police officer, fireman or other official, usually the Saturday before Christmas to purchase gifts for their family and themselves. All gifts are wrapped at Walmart by volunteers.
Major sponsors were Bloom Industries, Third Dimension, Walmart, and Ben and Karen Garlich. Each donated $1000. Many local businesses and families donated items or money for the Chinese Auction.
Eighty-five cars and trucks were registered, including a Peterbilt semi and a 1934 Harley Davidson motorcycle. One group came from Oil City, Pa. Forty-three trophies and plaques were awarded. The Best of Show winner was Dave Harrington with a 52 Chevey pickup truck. He donated the $250 cash prize back. Police Chief’s choice went to Dick Bahnick with a 66 Ford Fairlane. He donated the $100 cash prize back. Fire Chief’s choice went to the owner of a green and black 37 Ford Pickup truck. He also donated 50 back.
For the $10 registration fee, each owner of a registered vehicle received a goody bag containing a t-shirt, Jeg’s racing hat, dash plaque, sample bottle of Mothers car wax, a pen and various racing decals and brochures.
Special thanks to Police Officer
Brian Kerr, Middlefield Fire Dept., Bob and Debbie Lissy, vice president from the Rock and Roll Capital Street Machines, Mike and Carla Davison, Dan and Marilyn Thayer and all the others who helped to make the car show possible. Other car show helpers were Mike Hornung, photos; Ken Yamamoto, 50/50; Pam Misteka, 50/50; Todd Butkus, parked cars and judge, Dennis Parton , parked cars, Karen Sardella, registration and Donna Hornung, registration.
Total money raised after expenses was approximately $4,500. Thank you, Middlefield.

Middlefield Village Web SiteBy Mayor Ben Garlich
We rolled out our new Web site Thursday Aug. 16. Middlefield Village Council and department heads had opportunity to review and provide input on the finished product prior to taking the site online. The new Middlefield Village Web site is one of the finest if not the finest Village Web site anywhere. The site was designed to benefit current and potential new residents and businesses. Along with the introduction of the new Web site we launched a marketing campaign to promote our Village locally and nationally. Look for many promotions around our Village advertising the new site, designed to keep you informed of all current governmental business, and local functions past and present. I hope you will view the new Web site, www.middlefieldohio.com, and give us your input for improvement as we want this to be the best it can be. This is a major milestone for the Middlefield Economic Development Committee and it is satisfying to see it become a reality.
As part of marketing campaign we developed a new business and resident package to assist any new business or resident in making the transition to Middlefield Village. We also are planning
a forum to invite all local businesses to participate in a virtual tour of the new Web site to help them become familiar and encourage them to link their business to the site for promotion of our partnership with them.
We held our first annual Summer Fest on Aug. 11. The highlights of the day were the car show benefiting “Shop With a Cop” and our first parade through town in many years. The “Shop With a Cop” car show was very profitable and will benefit many this Christmas season. The parade had 60 entries and contained great variety. I loved seeing people line the streets and the fanfare which accompanies a parade. Many local restaurants and civic groups provided food, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The Middlefield Activity Committee (M.A.C.) is beginning to set dates and plan this event for next year. The parade is designed to promote local businesses and help us all feel a sense of pride in our community. I expect this event to continue to grow and look forward to continued success as we work together to make Middlefield Village a destination of choice.
From the Middlefield Rec DepartmentBy Missy Hatch

A Pinched Nerve Was Getting on My
Last NerveBy Lucinda S.
I had a pinched nerve in my back. The pain was excruciating and since I was unable to do any heavy lifting or carry laundry, my kids were literally turned into my slaves. With a strong recommendation from my parents, who were his patients, I went to see Dr. Roediger. After my initial exam, Dr. Roediger suggested adjustments twice a week. After the first week I noticed a major difference. With each adjustment the pain decreased and I was soon feeling like myself again.
The staff at Roediger Chiropractic is so friendly and accommodating. Scheduling appointments is easy and I am always able to get in and out so my driver is not waiting for long. I am happy to recommend Roediger Chiropractic to my family and friends, and do so on a regular basis so that they, too, can enjoy a better quality of life!
Roediger Chiropractic is located at 401 South St., Bldg. 2A, Chardon (44024). Natalie or Paula will be glad to schedule your appointment, so call them at 440-285-0756 or visit www.roedigerchiropractic.com.

The W.R. and Floy A. Sauey Family Foundation is pleased to make the donation of $16,500 to WomenSafe of Chardon, Ohio. The Sauey Family Foundation is the charitable arm of the Nordic Group of Companies, a holding company based in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The Sauey Family Foundation is primarily interested in supporting the higher education interests of its member companies’ associates’ children and the promotion and preservation of the free-market system as well as causes and organizations in the communities and areas where the Nordic Group has operating facilities that have a focus on the family. Flambeau, Inc., and its plant in Middlefield, Ohio, is a member company of the Nordic Group.
We are pleased and proud to support WomenSafe as one of Flambeau’s core values is Family. We believe good, strong families are the means through which responsible, caring, and thoughtful individuals are developed. Many of us have had the benefit of growing up within a loving and caring family environment. However, WomenSafe provides valuable shelter and support to those who live through the terror and trauma of an abusive relationship and need and seek to find a safe and healthy alternative for themselves and often, their children too.
Each year, the Sauey Family Foundation holds a charity golf outing for a designated charity. This year WomenSafe was the selected charity. The Sauey Family Foundation, Flambeau and the Nordic Group of Companies are proud to be able to help support WomenSafe and hope that our contribution will make a difference in the continuation and quality of service WomenSafe provides to victims of abuse here in northeast Ohio. This year Flambeau is celebrating its 65th anniversary and continuing to build on its long-standing practice of providing quality products and value to its customers and building a future by “Shaping the Products of Tomorrow…in Plastic.” We wish WomenSafe a similarly long track record of serving those in need of refuge and support from abuse.

Yoder Brothers Scholarship FoundationCelebrating its sixteenth year, The
Yoder Brothers Memorial Scholarship Foundation has maintained its commitment to offering scholarships to local young men and women pursuing their dreams of a higher education. Established in 1996, this scholarship program has grown into one of the largest private scholarship programs in Northeast Geauga County.
The Yoder Brothers Scholarship program reaches out to the senior students at three Geauga County high schools, Berkshire, Cardinal and Newbury. It has awarded over $890,000 in scholarships,
and more than 67 worthy and grateful recipients have earned their diplomas or certificates since the scholarship program begun. Without scholarship support, many of the recipients’ college educations would have been out of reach.
The Foundation conducts two special fundraising annual events: An Invitational Memorial Golf Tournament featuring celebrity sports personalities and guest speakers, and a celebrity dinner and auction, again, featuring a Celebrity Sports personality and hosted by the Cleveland Indians.

Learning for LifeBy Vicki Wilson
According to the dictionary, memory is the mental capacity of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, etc. or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences. I think all of us know someone with a form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or even mild memory loss or confusion. My friend’s Uncle James had Alzheimer’s disease and it started so insidiously that no one noticed at first. As time went by, his relationship with his family and friends became strained. His behavior slowly changed to anger and aggression as, he tried to mask the confusion he was feeling. He began to abuse alcohol to drown his pain, his marriage failed and his job was in peril. Finally, he saw a doctor who recognized the symptoms as early Alzheimer’s disease. This was 1990 and James was only 59 years old.
I attended a seminar where someone in the audience asked, “How do I know when forgetting small details is normal forgetfulness or cause for concern?” The speaker said, “If you forget where your car keys are, a person without cognitive impairment will be able to go over recent events in their memory and reason out where the keys could be. For example, I unloaded the groceries from the car, carried them up the sidewalk, unlocked the front door and took them into the kitchen. Aha! I might have left my car keys on the foyer table or the countertop in the kitchen when I put down the grocery bags. Someone with cognitive impairment probably would not be able to reason out the steps to finding the keys and might not even remember what the keys are used for. Anger and frustration can result.”
The possibility that we could lose the ability to reason is frightening. To maintain our cognitive functions we should exercise our brains just as we exercise our bodies to maintain a healthy heart. Adequate sleep is more important to our health than many of us realize, and we tend to trivialize the importance of sleep. Sleep is necessary for the brain to process and consolidate knowledge and for memories to form. Procedural memory, memory about how to do things, such as a new dance step or how to play a musical instrument, is “cemented” while we sleep. No amount of sleep can sharpen declarative memory, which allows us to recall facts such as what we ate for
breakfast or the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Many documented articles maintain lifelong learning and mentally stimulating activities assist us in maintaining and enhancing memory function. Use it or lose it. Crossword puzzles, playing bridge, chess, Sudoku, and computer games allow us to exercise our minds. Learn a new language, and stay socially active. We all know people who have remained socially, physically and mentally engaged their entire lives. The impact that maintaining a healthy lifestyle can have on a person is obvious.
Many adults are returning to school. Career changes, upgrading our skills and learning solely for fun and satisfaction prompt many of us to enter or re-enter the classroom. There are opportunities for learning around every corner. Kent State University offers the Senior Citizen Guest Program. Ohio senior citizens age 60 years old or older are invited to register for any credit class on a noncredit, space-available basis. The students are not graded, but are allowed to participate in the class as if they were registered students. Senior guest students must present to the Geauga Campus Student Services area to fill out their desired course information request. There are approximately a dozen people presently participating in Burton and their ages range from 60 to 93 years of age.

Proof or GoalBy Dr. David Fakadej
The Great Geauga County Fair is around the corner and many people look forward to the events therein. A lot of time, work, effort and energy plays into the events, by those running the Fair and by people entering events.
Aug. 4 and 5 was the MS 150-mile bicycle tour (which was 161 miles this year). Saturday was hot; I understand they called EMTs from as far as Bainbridge to the west side of Cleveland to help bicyclists suffering with heat problems. Over 2,900 bicyclists this year, over $1 million raised so far, and many are just starting to collect pledges. I enjoyed my best ride in 7 years. My preparations were good and I was barely sore afterward.
After the tour, sitting at a table with fellow riders discussing the event, a thought struck me. Bicyclists, joggers, runners, swimmers and weight lifters have the common goal to get healthy. How bizarre! Most people believe that exercise is what people do to get healthy. This is genuinely incorrect.
I blurted out to everyone at the table, “You all are riding to get healthy! You all bicycle to balance the unhealthy things you do like eating junk food, drinking alcohol, staying up late (which they did Saturday evening.) I bicycle to prove to myself that my tactics to get healthy are successful.” This struck them hard because they questioned me as to why I don’t drink alcohol or eat
the foods they ate. Was I unsociable? The answer is a matter of where I place my goals.
If my bicycling is off, it is because I did something beforehand that didn’t work to my best health interest, perhaps a lack of sleep or a poor food combination or not enough water. If my bicycling is particularly good, it means that I did something that improved my health. Bicycling is my way of proving out my health status – it is not what I do to get healthy.
At The Great Geauga County Fair, judges will hand out awards to people who achieved a goal, which is a culmination of hard work over several months preparing animals, crops, baked goods, training for distance, loudness, or endurance, using proper ingredients (nutrients, rest, distress and eustress, water, grooming and assembling and self-enlightenment). The goal is the achievement of all these efforts and energies.
For me, exercise is like an award; it is not a goal. Many people misplace their goal by pursuing the award as the goal. For example, when the goal is a paycheck, employees put in their time; work is secondary to time. The paycheck should serve as proof that employee goals are successful. This applies to education and grades. The goal is to understand everything; the grade is proof of understanding. When grades are the goal, as is too often the case, people then comment that students simply memorize, regurgitate, and flush out an ‘A.’
The lesson is monumental. If you exercise, what is your goal and what is your prize? If studying for a test, what is your goal and what is your reward? For Olympic athletes, what was their goal, and what is their award? Based on what I hear about the judging practices at The Great Geauga County Fair, they are looking for people who successfully achieve their goal before entering an event, which makes a reward all the more genuine.

Limits of This SeniorBy Ellie Behman
I found out the hard way, that I should not be trusted with electronic devices unless I really know what I’m doing. For instance, I was able to delete an entire file with one push of a key on my old Word Processor. Yes, I still use a word processor at our cabin. I have a difficult time reading and following instructions, so when something goes wrong I just begin pushing keys and that’s when the trouble starts.
About ten years ago, I graduated to a computer. I felt pretty good, like I was finally part of the in crowd that could e-mail, do research and use the computer intelligently. One day I decided to clean out a lot of unnecessary information. Easy as pie. After all, I had watched my son-in-law update and de-clutter my computer some years back and figured I should be able to do the same. He had laughingly teased me by saying I was a “file hoarder,” and was absolutely right. I took a deep breath, pushed a few keys and “viola” - - I was done. But the next day when I tried to retrieve my documents and send e-mails I found they were gone. Somewhere in cyber space they were belly laughing at an old gal who thought she was smarter than she looked.
I panicked and began calling every computer whiz I could think of for help getting my files back. My goodness, I thought, even when the FBI confiscates a computer belonging to a suspected criminal they can find files that were thought to be gone forever. Surely mine had to be somewhere close by, just begging to come back in.
Finally, a sympathetic gentleman at an office supply store took pity on me and spent some time helping. The key word he used over and over was “restore” and I hung onto that as a drowning person holds onto a life raft. That word and the instructions I received saved me from having a nervous breakdown. My files returned and I vowed to never again pretend I knew enough to venture beyond my understanding of the computer. Writing articles and sending e-mails were to be my limits from then on.
While I realized my limitations with the computer I dared to begin sending a few text messages on my cell phone. It did take me forever to learn the abbreviations, but it was a way of communicating. I enjoyed
this latest form of staying in touch until I received a text that read “I love u too but can I know who this is?” I had no idea who this message was from and all I could mutter was “Oh no, not again.” I had sent a message intended for my daughter but put in the wrong phone number.
I had once again ventured out of my comfort zone and now someone out there was wondering who sent them a love note. Totally embarrassed I did want to send a text to them and apologize but with my luck it would have gone to someone else and then my growing list of humiliating mistakes would continue. I’ll just settle for the fact that this senior has boundaries and has to know when to stay within them.
Remote controls in our house are also on the “endangered” list. Fighting the urge to toss them out the front window, we spent precious time trying to figure out which buttons to push and what cords to plug in for the various videos we wanted to see. I think a monkey in a blindfold could find its way out of the woods faster than the time it took us to get that contraption working and finally settle back to watch a movie.
I have considered going back to school to take computer classes, but I’m not sure this old gal can stay awake all day without a nap.

In Washington, the Program is underwritten by Trumbull Insurance Company. AARP membership is required for Program eligibility in most states. This Program is provided by The Hartford, not AARP or its affiliates. The Hartford pays a royalty fee to AARP for the use of AARP’s intellectual property. These fees are used for the general purposes of AARP. Applicants are individually underwritten and some may not qualify. Specific features, credits and discounts may vary and may not be available in all states in accordance with state filings and applicable law.

A policy without these benefits is also available [Call for details.] To qualify for these two benefits, all drivers on the policy must have a clean record (no accidents or violations) for five consecutive years in most states. For the Disappearing Deductible, these five years must include a period of three consecutive years as a policyholder in the AARP Auto Insurance Program (commencing after the effective date of the policy issued through this offer). PA drivers are not eligible for the complete disappearance of the deductible, although it will be reduced to a minimum of $100. The First Accident Forgiveness benefit is not available in Delaware.† If you are age 50 or older, once you’re insured through this Program for at least 60 days, you cannot be refused renewal as long as applicable premiums are paid with due. Also, you and other customary drivers of your vehicles must retain valid licenses, remain physically and mentally capable of operating an automobile, have no convictions for driving while intoxicated and must not have obtained your policy through material misrepresentation. 107292 Rev

their ability to keep homes and businesses operating is an understandable expense, but the question of exactly how high that expense may be is on the minds of owners.
Backup power is now surprisingly affordable and a wise business decision. Compared to the expense of lost revenue and inventory spoilage, an automatic standby Genset is a bargain that will provide years of reliable service. Many homeowners want the same protection, too.
The cost / benefit analysis for a standby power system is compelling and simple. A store that averages $850 of revenue per hour will recoup the cost of a $20,000 backup system during its first 24-hour outage. In areas that are prone to blackouts, having standby power is the best way to stay in business.
In order to assist you with making the right standby power investment we strongly advise you to consult with the area’s leading Generac® “Elite” Warranty Service Dealer and Installer for over 20 years, Shepp Electric Company, Inc., who will conduct a free site survey and electrical load analysis in order
to recommend the best size and placement of the system. Feel free to contact the office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 440-968-3262, or visit Website at www.generatorpros.com to view information about all their generator services.

Days Are Getting ShortAs summer winds down, we will be going to the Geauga County Fair to enjoy good
food, entertainment, rides, and of course all the hard work the kids in 4-H clubs have done throughout the year. The kids will be going back to school and the day light hours will be getting shorter. This is a reminder that it’s getting darker much earlier as we lose two to three minutes of light every day. It’s a good time to start thinking about having a reliable flashlight on hand. Whether you use your flashlight for work, hunting, camping or just around the house, Neetlights has a large selection for everyone. Our LED flashlights start at 10 lumens and go all the way up to 3000 lumens. That’s bright. We also have some safety products by NiteIze that are great for walking in the dark, like the Marker Band or the SlapLit that can be worn on your arm or ankle. These two items have a Red LED light inside of them that will stay on constantly or can flash. This is a must when riding your bike, walking the dog or running. We also have some safety lights for bike riding at night. Lighting also helps keep pets safe. Stop in and see our selection of products when you’re in Burton.
Call 440-218-7153 for details. Tell us you saw our add in the Middlefield Post and get a free key chain light with a purchase of $15 or more. Spend $50 and get $5 off. 14533 North Cheshire St., Burton (44021). E-mail [email protected] or go to www.neetlights.co.

Pine Craft’s Solutions for Space Issues When thinking of storage, let your imagination soar beyond small storage sheds and
consider getting a full sized garage or barn. A beautifully designed building can enhance a rural property and adds considerable space to store and protect outdoor needs such as tools, machinery, off season furniture, feeders and pots, and holiday decorations. Pine Craft offers quality buildings of all sizes up to 24 x 24 foot pole barns. They have the standard buildings and sizes, but will custom design buildings of any size. If you aren’t sure exactly what you want or need, they can help you decide. They would love to be the cheapest source for outbuildings, but quality comes first, so they are proud to say, instead, that they are the best. When it comes to your yard, it’s worth it to purchase a high-quality product that will look beautiful while keeping your belongings safe and dry.
No matter what your storage needs, Pine Craft will work with you to find the perfect solution. Stop by at 13650 Madison Road (44062) or call 440-632-0174.
If you’re looking for good quality lawn furniture that doesn’t take much care, stop
in and look at Creekside Lawn Furniture’s cypress pieces. Cypress has its own oils and doesn’t rot. Unfinished, it weathers to a beautiful silver gray, and all it needs is a pressure washing and screw tightening each spring and you’re ready to sit and relax. If you prefer a stain, Creekside has three colors in stock, or will do custom orders.
Creekside always has monthly specials. In August, children’s picnic tables and Adirondack chairs are on sale. Cypress wood has no chemicals, so it’s safe for children to eat off of. In September, swings and frames will be on sale. The A-frame comes apart and stacks for easy winter storage and each end has a shelf to place your beverage while you sit. There is 20 percent off all orders placed before Oct. 30 and display furniture outside is 25 percent off. Get it while you can. Creekside also offers gift certificates.

APR*3.00%home equity variable rate
*Home Equity Variable Rate Product: The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is based on the New York Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, using the rate published on the sixth of the previous month. The APR is variable and can change monthly, however it will not be lower than 3.00% or exceed 15.50%. The index as of 5/06/12 was 3.25%. The rate calculation is the index minus 0.25%. This advertised APR of 3.00% requires the loan payment to be deducted from a Cortland Banks consumer checking account through an Automatic Funds Transfer (AFT). Loan must be secured by a single-family, owner-occupied dwelling. Property insurance is required (and flood insurance, if applicable.) An annual fee of $50.00 will be charged annually beginning 12 months after your note date. The minimum loan amount is $5,000 (maximum $300,000) with a maximum combined loan-to-value of 85% or less. The loan term is ten years. Repayment terms will equal 1.5% of the outstanding balance of principal and interest as of each monthly statement date, or $100, whichever is greater. An interest only option is also available (and would result in a balloon payment). Under this option, if you took a single $10,000 advance and the APR was 3.00% and you made only the minimum interest payments and made no principal reductions, at the end of the 10-year term the principal balance would be $10,000. During the period, you would make 119 interest payments of $25.48 and one final payment of $10,025.48. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges for the line. This offer is subject to credit approval. Not all applicants may qualify for this rate. Other rates and terms are available. This offer is accurate as of the date of publication, and may be modified or withdrawn without advance notice. Call 330.637.8040 for current terms and conditions.

A Vision Trip to Nairobi KenyaBy Janel Breyley
This past summer I was given the opportunity to travel to Nairobi, Kenya in support of the organization called EduKenya. EduKenya is a non-profit organization that operates within poverty stricken communities in the Mathare slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Their goal is to partner with existing churches in Mathare to create schools and develop educational programs. I traveled with three other people whose ages ranged from 17 to 76. Our travel time took over 24 hours, flying from Pittsburgh to Chicago to London and finally to Nairobi. This was definitely the farthest I had ever been from home and the most exciting trip I have ever taken. Traveling with me was Bruce Smith, Robyn Hughes, and Kara McLaine and it was also their first trip to Africa. We stayed in an apartment with Adam Gould and his wife Njeri Gould. Adam Is the co founder of the EduKenya organization. They have been working in the slums of Mathare for 6 years and now have over 200 students in the Kwa Watoto primary school.
We arrived in Nairobi July 1, and immediately we were impacted by the African culture. Every morning our group would wake up and start the day with a devotional and group prayer. Pastor Bob Kioku of a local church, Adam’s friend and mentor, took us into the slums the first day and some of the things we saw were astounding. We walked through piles of trash, children playing in garbage and human sewage running outside the tin shacks that the people lived in. As soon as we walked through the door of the school, the children came running up to us smiling and laughing. The warmth, love and welcome I felt from the children was unforgettable and enough to melt my heart. We spent the next couple of days

in the school, sitting in the classrooms to observe the teachers and students, and I was amazed at the accumulated knowledge of these students, at a third grade level. On Thursday, we travelled deeper into the slums, on home visits, to visit with the mothers of some of the school’s students. It was heartbreaking to listen to the stories of their struggles; many of the women cannot even feed themselves and their children each day. But it was wonderful to see and hear how these women never stopped trusting God, and how thankful they were for our prayers and support. Every night our group had a debriefing session where we discussed the high and low points of our days and the lessons God was teaching us. I think the most important thing I learned on this trip was how the people on the board of EduKenya believed that it was much more import to empower the people living in the slums than to just hand out money. Many of the parents of the children in Kwa Watoto work in the school and they also pay a very small amount for the education. There is also a skills training center where they can learn to sew, practice hairstyling and do beautician work. During the trip, our small group grew extremely close and I believe the experiences we shared will always connect us to that beautiful country. Although many parts of Nairobi were ugly, we also saw some very beautiful countryside. Saying goodbye to the children and staff was difficult and I hope to someday have the opportunity to return and visit with the same people again.
Janel Breyley is a Cardinal graduate, currently resides in Grove City, Pa. and studies early child education at Slippery Rock University.

Technology and This Old DogBy Joe Novak
For the past 10 years, I’ve felt like I was born 20 years too early. I marvel at the new technology that is evolving faster than this old man can keep up with it. I was the first salesman in the company to own a hand held calculator that performed six functions and cost $125. That was 40 years ago. Today you can buy one that does 100 functions and costs $2.99, but I didn’t mind paying the price at the time.
I recently purchased a Galaxy tab 2, 7.0 and I am stunned at the capabilities of a hand held tablet that weighs about a pound. I can’t list everything this device can do, but I know I will never figure out how to use even half the apps that are already loaded on it, let alone figure out how to use the half million apps that I can purchase online. An app is an application that allows the device to perform some functions, like turning it into an electronic level that gives you 360 degree of angle. It can allow me to trade stocks anywhere in the world where there is a Wi-Fi signal, and send and receive e-mails. I can load my iTunes library of songs, video’s and photos, and purchase a book. I can write my articles sitting in a café in London
and e-mail them directly to my editor while sipping a hot cup of Joe. I can Skype with family and friends anywhere in the world and when I come across something of interest, I just snap a photo and with a few taps on the screen, it is organized for instant retrieval.
I don’t own a smart phone, mine is dumb by today’s offerings, but the screens are way too small for these aging eyes and I look funny when I squint. I don’t text; my thumbs are too fat to hit those little keys and I have Bluetooth phone link in my car so I can talk without ever taking my hands off the wheel. When cars can go from speech to text, I may consider it as long as it can read it to me as well.
I can imagine what they will come up with next; well actually, I can’t, and that’s the fun part, discovering new things almost on a daily basis. I grew up with rotary phones and crystal radios and I may die with my wife never having to call the undertaker. Beam me up, Lord!
To find out what Joe would do, e-mail questions to [email protected].

A Fifty Year Reunion WeekendBy Sandra L. Clarke
The Cardinal graduating class of 1962 celebrated their fiftieth high school reunion July 27 and 28. Activities began Friday night with a get together at the home of Wanda and Dick Polomsky. Saturday morning everyone toured the Old School on Kinsman Road where they spent their earlier years. Then Tom Moss the group through the Cardinal High School. The 1962 class was the first one to graduate from the Thompson Avenue school. Tom, past principal of Cardinal Middle School and class member of 1962, had plenty of memories to share. Saturday night at Grandview Country Club, class president Bill Alvord and class vice president Marsha Komandt presented a short memorial for the 10 graduates of the class who have passed. Everyone had a weekend to remember as new memories were made.
Treasures like these can be found at Emmalee’s Second Time Around, but inventory changes daily, so you never know what you’ll find among the housewares, furnishings, antiques, collectibles, jewelry and more. If Emmalee doesn’t have what you’re looking for, she’s happy to try to find it just for you. Emmalee’s is located at 12300 Kinsman Road (Route 87) in Newbury (44065), only 10 minutes from Burton Square. Call her at 440-785-7535.

the rollingGreenBy Robert Kacica
This article is for people over 50 years of age. People take lessons, often out of desperation, because of a need to improve on a facet of the game, which causes them not to enjoy a typical round of golf. Taking the same lesson over and over without improvement is usually caused by a lack of mobility in the body. Here are a few exercises that can increase the flexibility and mobility of the body and allow the lesson you are taking to give a positive result.
Lie on the floor with the knees bent and feet flat against the wall. Bring your arms over your head and set them flat on the floor. If this cannot be done then chances are you will not be able to maintain the address posture from the beginning of the golf swing to the finish.
Next, stand up and use a good address posture while putting each hand on its opposite shoulder. Now move the lower body independently of the upper body in the motion used when starting a downswing with the proper tempo. A good motion to practice getting this independent motion is to keep your upper body still while moving the lower body as you would when doing the twist.
To test ankle, knee, hip, spine and shoulder flexibility, hold a club over your head. Keep the club held high over your head and squat so your thighs break parallel and the heels stay on the ground. Lastly, hold the club across the chest. Rotate right to get the club pointing past the left thigh. Then rotate left to get the club past the right thigh. This will check the mobility of the middle back.
Work on these movements until achieving the proper positions. Again, do not force any of these motions. Move gradually toward the set conclusions. The lessons taken in the past without showing improvement will start to give consistent results and will not have to be repeated.
Have fun. Talk to you soon.

Jerry’s HouseBy Emily Martin
Jerry Welsh has been a important part of the Burton community since the 1950’s. During that time he has made an impact on all of us. Jerry shovels sidewalks at the Burton Congregational church every winter, even during a blizzard, so people can get inside. He helps the fire department with pancake breakfasts, cleans up garbage after every football game, is a member of the Burton Congregational Church, helps the Shrine on Mumford Road, and he never asks for anything in return. Jerry is the type of guy to put everyone else’s needs in front of his own. Due to circumstances beyond control, his house is in disrepair. With the combined efforts of Burtons “Party for a Purpose” and Kirtland’s Christian fellowship “Be the Church”, the restoration of Jerry’s century home has begun, but need more help is needed.
On Saturday Aug. 4, vehicles started lining Spring Street at 8:30 a.m. One by one people approached with their ladders, scrappers, and other tools in hand. Local businesses and residents who weren’t able to help with labor brought food, beverages and ice. It was an event that really makes you proud to live in Burton. Thirty volunteers from the ages of 30 to 80 began working and within 6 hours we had scraped the entire house and replaced the front porch. Even Sunday’s severe thunderstorms didn’t keep the Burton residents away. The storms may have delayed the painting but did not dampen our spirits. Jerry’s house was
painted the weekend of Aug 11 and 12.On Sept. 15 Grandview Restaurant
will hold “Party for a Purpose” a buffet style dinner, Chinese Auction, and a 50/50 raffle to raise money for Jerry’s windows, chimney repair, and gutters. For information, tickets or to make a monetary or Chinese auction
donation, call Emily Martin 440-554-7518 or Kristin Klingman at 440-477-9848.
A special thank you to all of our volunteers and to the people and business who have helped make this possible: A & G d u m p s t e r s , T r o y I n n o v a t i v e , Vinecourt Landscaping,

September Hometown Hoe-Down As sure as a chill in the air, and high school football, the annual Hometown Hoe-Down
are sure traditions that mark the autumn season in northeast Ohio, and this year the Hoe-Down will be a little earlier! Geauga County Tourism will host their forth annual Hometown Hoe-Down, on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 6 p.m. to 11p.m. at the Middlefield Market Pavilion (indoors).The Hoe-Down is the perfect fall evening in the country and features a great country buffet, square dancing demonstration by the Broken Wheels, music by Fort Huntsburg Band, dancing, live pie auction, the ‘Cow Plop Drop’ and a few new surprises! Dinner will be served from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the Burton-Middlefield Rotary will once again be serving up beer and soft drinks at the “Brew Saloon.”
Many activities will be ongoing throughout the event such as a silent and Chinese auction, featuring donations from area businesses. Cornhole and other country games, a wine pull, a 50/50 drawing, a pumpkin and mum sale will also add to the fall theme of the event. A returning favorite this year will be the “cow plop drop.” People will purchase squares on a large outside grid. Once all the squares are sold, the cow will be led into the roped off area. ‘Patty’ will then choose the Grand Prize winner by leaving a “plop” in a square. A live pie auction will also give guests the opportunity to take home a tasty memory of the evening.
“This is our big fundraiser,” says Lynda Nemeth, Director of Geauga County Tourism. “The money we raise at this event goes directly back in to marketing Geauga County to visitors. This helps all of our area businesses from restaurants, to lodging, to retail stores and increases the economy of our county as a whole.” The Hoe-Down provides a great return on investment to benefit our county while having a fun night out. Our presenting sponsors this year are the Farm Bureau and Sirna’s Farm & Market. So round up your friends, mark your calendars, reserve your tickets and join the fun!
Tickets are $20 per person ($10 for kids 4 -11) and available NOW at the Geauga Co. Tourism office or can be purchased by phone with a credit card.
