AMISH Heartland EDITORIAL

New Look, Same Great Content

mish Heartland magazine has undergone a bit of a transformation. We’re growing! And what better way to showcase this then to present to you a bigger and better size. You will still ﬁnd the same great content that has made you come to love the Amish Heartland, just more of it! We take pride in keeping our publication authentic to the culture. Once readers pick up our magazine they look for future editions and even subscribe. Our magazine is more than just a guide; we feature the “meat and potatoes” of the area by providing niche information that delve much deeper into the Amish culture. As we move forward with this exciting new edition, we hope to bring you some of the most intriguing and sometimes controversial topics of the Amish culture. In this edition of Amish Heartland, we had the opportunity sit-down with professor Donald Kraybill, who shared his research into the case of the “Bergholz Barbers.” The news of a group of Amish men attacking and cutting the beards of their own community members spread like wildﬁre and made national news two years ago. Attacks like these had never been heard of in Amish communities before. What lead Bishop Mullet to perform such acts of religious hate on his fellow Amish men? Just two years later, many of the Bergholz Barbers had served their time in prison and returned to the Bergholz community by the summer of 2014. Stay tuned to our book review section as we plan to review Kraybill’s book, “Renegade Amish: Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes, and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers” in an upcoming edition of Amish Heartland. Kraybill released his new book in September. They come for the leaves and they come for the deals. Probably one of the biggest draws for visitors of Holmes County’s Amish Country, is the beautiful fall foliage. In fact, Holmes County’s beautiful countryside was featured in a recent book by National Geographic called the “Four Seasons of Travel.” Holmes County was ranked third in the world for its scenic views during the fall.

They ranked just behind Sonoma County, Calif and Northern New Mexico. You can’t catch all the beauty Holmes County has to offer in a day. Plan to spend the night at one of the Amish country’s finest hotels, Berlin Grande Hotel. According to manager Doug Burgess, first impressions are everything. So, from the minute you walk in the door, you are greeted with warm, friendly smiles and presented with first class amenities. The deals this time of year just can’t be beat. The shops of Amish country are gearing up for holidays and planning their Open Houses. Why not stock up on top quality furniture to update the family room or plan a total re-design of a bedroom. The friendly, knowledgeable staff at Walnut Creek Furniture can help you find what you need even if you’re not sure what to look for. Sit down with a designer and customize the table of your dreams. Before we completely turn the page on summer, take some time to reflect on the beauty that was captured on camera by our readers in our Summer Photo Contest. With each contest we do it seems to become harder and harder to choose a winner. Our readers have proven to be fantastic photographers and we have loved looking through your masterpieces. Find us on facebook and see what we are up to back at the office and follow us while we are out touring the Amish countryside. We will be sharing photos of the beautiful fall foliage as soon as the leaves begin to show hints of their vibrant oranges, reds and yellows and passing along stories of your favorite businesses. We hope you enjoy the new and improved Amish Heartland and we appreciate any feedback from our readers. We want to know what you want to read about. Without your readership and support we would not be the wonderful magazine we are today! Thank you!

Wanda E. Brunstetter has captured our hearts and brought back the giggles in her third installment of the Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Series, with The Healing Quilt. Even a trip to Florida can’t keep the Millers from enriching others lives. Lamar and Emma Miller are spending their time as newlyweds soaking up the warmer weather of sunny Florida. They found a small house in the Pinecraft community among many other Amish residents. While Lamar seems to be satisﬁed spending his afternoons hunting for shark’s teeth on the beach shore, Emma has grown tired of the same old routines. She misses her family and she misses her quilting. Lamar suggests she consider starting another class while they are staying in Pinecraft. Once again, Emma’s ad has attracted the most unlikely group of quilters. She can’t help but hope that her class will not only teach them all a new craft but that she can help each of her students with any struggles they are currently facing. Jennifer is a soon-to-be, new mother with an unemployed husband. When she comes across the ad she knows she won’t be able to afford the class. Little does she know, expressing her grief to a friendly passenger riding next to her on the bus would get her an anonymous letter saying the class had been paid for, for her. Erika is a teenager who found herself in a wheelchair after attempting a diving stint. Her life dreams and goals were brought to a sudden halt when she found she could no longer use her legs. Her father fears his daughter will sink into a pool of depression if she doesn’t ﬁnd something she can do to keep her mind off her wheelchair. B.J. is vacationing in Sarasota in order to work on his art. Trying to paint the waves while sitting in a studio in Chicago makes it hard for B.J. to capture the beauty of the tide. After learning of his terminal illness, B.J. decided a vacation was needed. When he came across the quilting class he decided learning to make a quilt would be a great way to help him paint a quilt.

BOOK REVIEW Noreen is a retired widow who is looking for something to occupy her time. When she came across the ad for the quilting class, she decided it was something new that she would like to try. Besides, ever since her husband passed and she no longer had children to teach, she needed something besides walking the beach to occupy her time. Kim moved to Sarasota with her boyfriend in hopes to start an exciting new chapter in her life. Unfortunately, like most of her relationships, this one went sour. Kim was determined to make a name for herself instead of coming home to her family with her tail between her legs. She found herself a waitressing job and decided she might like to try her hand at quilting. Mike can’t believe he got suckered into doing his wife a favor when she had to go out of state to care for her sister. Phyllis was only a couple weeks into the class when she got the call and having paid for the whole class, she couldn’t imagine just stopping. She convinced her husband to go in her place and share with her what he had learned once she returned. Once again, Emma has found herself surrounded by a band of misfits. She knows this group was brought before her for a reason and she is determined to figure out each of their stories. Meanwhile, many of Emma and Lamar’s previous students find their way to the Millers even with them being all the way in Florida. Brunstetter has done it again.

Berlin Grande Hotel A LASTING FIRST IMPRESSION

’’

I'm a firm believer in first impressions. When you walk in the door, we want there to be something special that happens for each guest. -Doug Burgess, general manager

Story by EMILY ROEBUCK AMISH HEARTLAND CONTRIBUTOR

hen you pull up to the main entrance at the Berlin Grande Hotel, and look down on the farms and surrounding countryside cascading into Berlin, you are entering into a warm welcome that begins with the smiling, hospitable staff and is focused on going beyond guest expectations. There is an ambiance to the Berlin Grande created not only by the appreciation for the simple things in life but also by the friendly atmosphere that is there from the moment a guest walks through the doors. While guests may initially choose this particular hotel for the convenient location and its proximity to Berlin, they will likely come back again and again because of the friendly staff and excellent service. Perhaps it will be the atrium and gardens in the center of the hotel, the falling waters from the entryway fountain, the warm cookies at the front desk or the Bee Kind lotions that will win you over, but whatever it may be, there is always something there to make each guest experience unique. “I'm a firm believer in first impressions,” said Berlin Grande Hotel General Manager, Doug Burgess. “When you walk in the door we want there to be something special that happens for each guest.” Personalized service from the staff means they are trained to know that people are coming here for just that. The Berlin Grande is a four story, urban style hotel with 78 rooms and suites. All rooms and suites feature a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and a locally made mattress with plush bedding. The mattresses at the Berlin Grande are a favorite feature and are hand made locally by an Amish craftsman located just up the road. With Starbucks in every room and an expanded breakfast buffet which includes waffles, sausage and gravy, fresh cut fruit and cinnamon rolls, the Berlin

Grande offers a variety of ways to help guests get off to the right start each morning. “We want to go beyond what a guests expectation would be,” Burgess said. “Our philosophy revolves around offering people a room that is equal to or above what they would be sleeping in at home.” The Berlin Grande Hotel has four large water softeners for the facility, allowing them to have softened water for all the rooms. There is also an indoor, heated, salt water purified swimming pool and whirlpool. Views from the outdoor atrium look out onto the trees and hillsides of the surrounding fields and forest, displaying the surrounding foliage and skyline at its best. The location is also a draw for local tourists since the hotel is just steps away from Berlin, a main hub of the Amish community, allowing guests to take a scenic walk and reach Main Street in minutes. All guests receive complimentary high speed internet access and the Berlin Grande Hotel is a non-smoking facility. Check in time is at 3 p.m., check out time is at noon and the Mini Grande Snack Shop is open 24/7 with free coffee, refreshments, apples and bananas stocked for guests in the lobby round the clock. “People who stay here are not just staying for the Berlin Grande,” added Burgess. “They are staying here for everything that is happening in our area.” The front desk staff is able to let guests know about local festivals and attractions and each guest will

receive an envelope with coupons and freebies, such as passes for parking and different area attractions. When the leaves change, as they are beginning to do, the Berlin Grande will have many visitors coming into the area. A special they will have running from now until the end of 2014 is that if you book Sunday you get Monday's stay at half off the price. All rooms have a balcony and for the pet parents looking to book a room there are also three pet-friendly rooms available. What sets the Berlin Grande apart most is the staff. They work together in a guest oriented fashion, knowing that a warm smile and pleasant demeanor go a long way in relating to the travelers who come through the front doors each day. The Berlin Grande also has a conference room available for business meetings, seminars and small guest receptions, reunions or parties. This year the Berlin Grande Hotel was one of the top ranked properties on Expedia, having been chosen as an Expedia Insiders' Select hotel for 2014. Expedia Insiders' Select is an annual award, recognizing the very best hotels available in the Expedia global marketplace, as judged by the experiences of Expedia customers. Based on nearly 2 million guest reviews submitted annually, The Berlin Grande Hotel was one of only 650 winners worldwide. The hotel has been identified by Expedia customers as consistently delivering superior services, an exceptional guest experience and value. Earning a place on the Insiders' Select list is a testament to the hotel's ongoing commitment to excellence. The Berlin Grande Hotel was also a winner of the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor for 2014. This is awarded to accommodations that consistently achieve outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor. There is much to be appreciated at the Berlin Grande and no detail too small when it comes to making a memorable stay even more special for each guest. From the fireplaces to the artwork and décor created by local craftsmen, there is something special waiting for everyone to discover. For more information visit www. berlingrandehotel.com.

RELIGIOUS HATE CRIME THE CONTINUED IMPACT OF THE BERGHOLZ BARBERS Right: Township Rd. to 80 leading to the Bishop Mullet’s home and several other families in Bergholz SUBMITTED PHOTO

Story by EMILY ROEBUCK AMISH HEARTLAND CONTRIBUTOR

n 1995, on 800 acres of mountainous land in eastern Ohio, near the village of Bergholz, a new Amish community was established by Samuel Mullet. In an area known as the Yellow Creek Valley, Mullet was ordained bishop and began to consolidate power; breaking off the relationships and ties his community had with outside Amish groups. The beginnings of this community, the events leading up to the beard cutting attacks which began in September of 2011, the trial and the aftermath are all discussed in Professor Donald B. Kraybill’s book, “Renegade Amish: Beard Cutting, Hate Crimes, and the Trial of the Bergholz Barbers.” Kraybill was recently in the area for a book signing at the Gospel Book Store in Berlin and to speak at the Perry Reese Community Center at Hiland High School.

Kraybill’s two year research project explored how the cult-like group emerged in the paciﬁst Amish society, what underlying motives propelled the attacks, the question of whether or not they were truly Amish and the question of why the jury convicted the defendants of federal hate crimes. It also addresses the issue of whether or not this case is signiﬁcant for religious freedom in America and how it will impact future hate crime prosecutions for Americans. In the book, Kraybill highlights “the purge” as the trigger event which led to the beard cutting attacks. During this time in 2006, Bishop Mullet excommunicated nine families who had objected to his leadership. When someone is excommunicated or “shunned” in the stricter Amish communities, they cannot be reinstated into another Amish congregation until they go to the bishop who shunned them and repent.

October 2014

Those who were shunned did not feel that they had done anything wrong. A group of 300 Amish elders from ﬁve different states met and decided they agreed on making the decision to nullify Sam Mullet’s power to excommunicate. This direct limiting of his control made Mullet feel his religious authority had been overthrown and brought about anger, frustration and distrust towards anyone outside his own family and community. By 2012, all but one of the 20-some families in his group were directly related to him somehow. Mullet had created a cult-like atmosphere. He was able to control and manipulate everyone living there and treat the community as if it were his own little world. Mullet began sleeping with the women, promising that the sexual teaching he was giving them would help their marriage somehow. Very few women have spoken about their sexual experiences with outsiders, but during the trial Bishop Mullet’s daughter-in-law testiﬁed that she was made to have “sexual intimacies” with him. Those who resisted were ostracized from the community. Couples were sometimes separated for weeks or even months.

man who understood how to control and manipulate those around him. He began to call those outside their community “hypocrites” and when the attacks began it was his reasoning that they would be showing these hypocrites what they needed to do in order to get right with God. The assailants likely believed that they would be helping those who were struggling with the battle between good and evil. Because of Bishop Mullet’s teachings, his followers were completely convinced that the cuttings would shame the other Amish and also warn them of God’s impending punishment and doom because they had strayed from the true path of Amish faith. Three of the attacks were nighttime home invasions, two were ambushes inside Bishop Mullet’s community in which the people were lured in. Attacks like these are unprecedented in Amish history. “BARBERS” CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Mullet had created a cult-like atmosphere. He was able to control and manipulate everyone living there and treat the community as if it were his own little world. Another practice which was unique to Mullet’s community was placing men and women in small chicken houses, dog kennels and pens inside barns which were called “Amish jails.” While these jails were not locked, people stayed in them for days or weeks in isolation. According to Bishop Mullet, this allowed them time to clear their minds and write things down in order to confess all their sins. The beard cutting and head shaving began within the Bergholz community as a way to repent and show contrition. Families became too afraid to stay at Bergholz because they knew what Mullet was capable of and they were afraid to leave for the same reason. One of Mullet’s sons had begun to move his belongings and was trying to leave with his family. When they returned to their house to get the rest of their things they found fresh cut trees lying across their driveway, the doors on their house boarded up, windows screwed closed, new locks on the doors and the basement intentionally ﬂooded. From the physical and verbal threats to the probing questions about sexual relationships, Mullet was a

In one instance ,an elderly couple was convinced by their son Emmanuel that they would be allowed to visit their grandchildren and were invited to come for dinner. As they were going to leave, Emmanuel grabbed a pair of scissors and began cutting his father’s beard. Two of the teenage grandsons restrained him and covered his mouth when he began to yell for help. The grandparents were released and left the community, refusing to press charges. Two months after the attack, the grandfather died. The attacks fell upon nine victims; eight men and one woman. Federal prosecutors eventually charged ten men and six women with multiple crimes involving conspiracy, assault, concealing evidence and lying to the FBI. A disposable camera was used during the attacks. Thinking it had been destroyed, the prosecution learned that it had merely been hidden in the woods. The prosecution was able to ﬁnd the camera and the pictures were used during the trial (some of the photos are included in Kraybill’s book). The government had built its case against the attackers on the 2009 Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This federal statute criminalizes physical attacks based on a victim’s gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity or religion. “The Shepard-Byrd Act does not regulate religious speech or belief,” said Kraybill.“but it does criminalize violent conduct that targets victims because of their

religion. The First Amendment does not protect individuals who exact violence in the name of their own religious beliefs.” During the three-week trial, the jury determined that forcible beard cutting is considered temporary disﬁgurement. The jury also found evidence that in four of the attacks the assailants were motivated because they disliked the religion of the victims. Bishop Mullet was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Four men, including two ministers, received sevenyear sentences. Five-year sentences were imposed on three other men and the remaining eight defendants received one and two-year sentences. By the summer of 2014 most of the defendants had returned to Bergholz. “It has never happened before in Amish history that all the ordained leaders in an Amish congregation are in jail,” commented Kraybill. In August of 2014, the appellate court overturned the hate crime convictions in a 2-1 sharply divided decision, citing an error in the district court’s instructions to the jury. What is at stake now is, what motivated the attacks. Was it family feuds, interpersonal spite, or religion? The federal district court had instructed the jury that a religious motive was evident if the victim’s “actual or perceived religion was a signiﬁcant motivating factor for a defendant’s action...even if he or she had other reasons” for attacking the victim.

...this case is in extra innings. The case is now elevated to something even more important because it’s outcome will determine how future hate crimes are prosecuted in America.

-Professor Donald Kraybill

October 2014

“The appellate court opinion made a distinction between religion being the primary or predominant motive and religion being a signiﬁcant motive among other motives,” said Kraybill. “The Bergholz case was the ﬁrst religious hate crimes conviction under the 2009 Shepard-Byrd Act. The interpretation of the motives will be the deciding factor as the case moves forward. It will affect not only the convictions for the Amish, but for other religious hate crimes and all types of hate crimes decisions in the future.” Sam Mullet and the other defendants remaining in prison are still under indictment. They remain convicted for concealing evidence and perjury. They may petition the district court to be released from prison as the legal process continues. For his research work and his book, Kraybill interviewed 30 Amish people related to Bergholz (including former community members and relatives of Bishop Mullet), held interviews with detectives, sheriffs, an FBI agent,

knowledgeable non-Amish people and the foreman of the jury from the trial. When asked if he would write another book to follow up Renegade Amish, Kraybill said that it is likely that a revised version of book will be published as a paperback sometime in the future after all the legal dust settles. But it’s hard to know how many months or years in the future that will be. “With the recent appellate court decision, this case is in extra innings,” said Kraybill. “The case is now elevated to something even more important because it’s outcome will determine how future hate crimes are prosecuted in America.” Kraybill is a Distinguished College Professor and Senior Fellow at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. He is the author, coauthor and editor of more than a dozen books on Amish culture, including “The Riddle of Amish Culture” and “The Amish and Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy. “Kraybill is considered the country’s foremost authority on Amish society and was the only expert witness called to the stand by the government during the trial. One of the questions that has been discussed and debated around the beard cuttings and the trial is whether or not the Bergholz Barbers are indeed Amish. Do they identify themselves as Amish? Yes, but Kraybill’s book makes note of 25 different ways in which the people living in Mullet’s settlement deviated from other Amish communities, violating fundamental tenants of Amish society. From their own words, the Amish have recognized that the role of a leader should be taken on and carried out from a place of healing. In an eastern Ohio Amish newsletter called the “Gemeinde Register,” an essay called “A Shepherd’s Authority” reminds us that those in authority must be like a physician, their “one desire must be to heal.” The events in Bergholz not only show us what can happen when a person in authority abuses power to exact violence and sexual misconduct, but also serves to show that when those inside the community reach out and seek help they will ﬁnd it. Our government, our laws and our common humanity compel us to provide that help and protection and to make sure that as legislation moves forward it continues to do so.

FEAR NOT THOSE WHO HARM THE BODY BUT CANNOT KILL THE SOUL
