Find out about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and how five loaves of bread and two fish fed 5,000 people. Here is a view of East High Street looking east from the intersection of Routes 87 and 608, taken more than 100 years ago. The first building on the left was located at the site of the downtown mural park. The next three buildings are still used today. Middlefield Tavern, the Amish Historical Center and Karl’s Jewelry now occupy them. The street is still dirt, having not been paved until 1915. Look carefully up the street to the approximate place where north and south Thompson Avenue are located. The tree, that you see, was actually growing in the middle of the road and cars had to drive around it. There was quite a fuss raised by the citizens when the village cut it down in order to pave the road.
The Mobil Gas Station on the southeast corner of the downtown intersection was owned by Kenny Barnes and C. J. Olds and later became a Sohio gas station. The house behind the car getting gas was built by the Bishop family who ran the hotel on the southwest corner. Later the house was moved out near the intersection of Routes 608 and 528. The next building housed many businesses over the years, Harry White’s Gents Furnishings, Spector’s, and Middlefield Electric to name just a few. The next building set back was the Home Telephone and Northeastern Ohio Credit Bureau location.

So…What’s Your Story? By Lynda Nemeth, Geauga County Tourism director
B
y nature we are curious. When given the chance to find out more information about a topic we were already interested in, we usually jump at the opportunity. We attribute that in part to the popularity of the Geauga County Visitor Guide. Not only do we give you a plethora of good information to get you around the county and have you shopping, eating, sleeping and playing in fine fashion, we give you the ‘behind the scenes’ scoop. Not sure what I mean? When was the last time you read a Geauga County Visitor Guide? (I know ... I know you live here and don’t need one ... humor me.) Did you know each year our featured writers are our business owners and community members? Each year different businesses share their story and add to the rich tapestry of tales that make up our area. The stories shed light into their lives, their families, the ‘why’ of their business, and what planted them in our great County. It’s
just another way that we welcome visitors. We make them feel like they’re visiting friends before they even arrive. In this year’s Guide, you can meet an Amish family that turned a medical issue into a successful business and find out what new dining hot spot has a chef that chose Geauga County over sunny, warm Arizona. Learn what Middlefield business got their start at Aurora Farms when it was still a flea market. Did you know there’s a winery in Parkman? Find out why we have a little old lady in Loire Valley, France to thank for it. A feature on our website also asks people to share their stories and pictures with us. It’s a great way for us to see what they found interesting and provide more insight for future visitors. Now since the new Visitor Guides are available and you live here and have the inside scoop, you just might want to pick one up, read about some great local businesses, and maybe, just maybe, share a tip or tale on our website since we are curious about your story, too. Guides are available at the Tourism Office in Middlefield or in many of the racks located around the county.

Cardinal Students Jump to Fight Heart Disease Students at A.J. Jordak and Cardinal Intermediate School in Middlefield are jumping at the chance to fight heart disease and stroke, our nation’s number one and number four killers. During a special assembly on Jan. 26, students learned about Jump Rope for Heart, an event that raises money for the American Heart Association while teaching students the importance of physical activity, healthy habits and community service. Recent studies show about one-third of children ages 2 to 19 are overweight and obese. “By including physical activity into their daily routines, kids can significantly reduce the onset of heart disease,” says Tracy Behnke,of the American Heart Association in Cleveland. “By raising money through Jump Rope for Heart, we are preventing heart disease and obesity for the next generation of Americans. ” Students at JES and CIS will jump rope during Physical Education class throughout February to collect money for the campaign. For information about donating or the Jump Rope for Heart campaign, visit www.heart.org/jump, or call the American Heart Association at 216-791-7500.
Cardinal Students Get Soiled For Science Maybe playing in the dirt isn’t so bad after all. All third-grade classes at Cardinal Intermediate School recently conducted two classroom science experiments involving the properties of various types of soil. Choosing from topsoil, clay, sand, or gravel, students had to select two materials that would allow a lot of water to pass through, and then select two that would allow little water to pass. With the help of school consultant Claire Zurbuch (aka, “Mr. Z.”), students then set up their materials, poured their water, and analyzed their results. Some students were surprised to discover that topsoil and clay allowed the least amount of water through, while sand and gravel allowed the most. “As all scientists know, we learn from our failures,” said third-grade Science teacher Barb Tropf. The experiment is part of the thirdgrade curriculum to study the Earth’s resources. Tropf added, “Students are learning that it takes 500 to 1,000 years to make an inch of soil, so we need to conserve or save our soil. Water washes away good soil and roots hold it in place, and our experiment helped students discover what materials would hold water and help plants grow.” Zurbuch and his science experiments are no strangers to Cardinal School students, the local community, or Geauga County. The retired educator volunteers his time in area schools and has been serving as a Science Consultant for Cardinal Schools since 2003. Zurbuch was recently named the Geauga Water and Soil Conservation District’s 2014 Volunteer of the Year.
Karie From Geauga Park Visited Mrs. Callahan’s Class
On Jan. 23, Senator John Eklund stopped into the Cardinal Board Office to deliver a letter of support to the Huskie Nation Foundation for the building of the new Cardinal Stadium. “I am impressed by the vision of the Foundation,” said Eklund. “And its willingness to take real action on a real need, rather than waiting for someone else to do it for them.” Eklund met with the Cardinal Board of Education staff and spent time with Cardinal Athletic Director Andy Cardinal and Huskie Nation Foundation President Gary Cox to become more familiar with the project and then discussed the other ways he will support the project throughout its completion.

VFW Donates to HNF
By Leanne McIntosh
The Huskie Nation Foundation is extremely grateful for the generous gift made by another non-profit organization, the Middlefield VFW Post 9678 Veterans. A representative of Huskie Nation Foundation made a presentation to the Middlefield VFW Post 9678 during one of its regularly scheduled business meetings. After reviewing the information, a vote was cast and the result was a sizable donation to assist the Huskie Nation Foundation in their efforts to raise funds for a special project, major improvements to the Cardinal High School sports fields, concession stand and comfort station. This group of veterans, with a spirit to do good deeds in the community, made a contribution to fund the 3200 CLUB, purchasing not just one 100 meter of track, but ten! In a concerted effort to promote the growth and development of our community’s youth through a sports program that encourages teamwork and leadership skills, and to provide an enjoyable space for other community non-profit fund raising events such as “Relay for Life”, this special group of men and women not only served their country through military service, but continue to serve their community after returning to civilian life. For information on the Huskie Nation Foundation, friend them on Facebook. To support the Middlefield VFW Post 9678, attend one of their fund raisers…something good is bound to come out of it! The HNF thanks everyone that supported the Night at the Races. The event raised $6,645.
Karie from the Geauga Park District visited Mrs. Callahan’s second grade class at Jordak Elementary School to educate students on Geauga County’s wildlife from the 1800s through present time. Students learned about the habits and characteristics of many of the same animals they study in Science class.
Cardinal Straight A All-Stars Hard work in the classroom has paid off for Cardinal Intermediate third-graders Emma Geesling and Carlie Wood. Both students were selected as Cleveland Cavaliers Straight A All-Stars for receiving all A’s in the first grading period of the 2014-2015 school year. Geesling and Wood were each presented with a special straight A all-star t-shirt and two tickets to the Jan. 23 Cleveland Cavaliers game at Quicken Loans Arena. Geesling, whose favorite subject is math, and Wood, whose favorite subject is science, both said they like the Cavs and were excited to attend the game. Straight A all-stars rewards students for high scholastic achievement. The program is open to all elementary and middle school students, grades K through 8, in Cuyahoga, Lorain, Summit, Medina, Portage, Geauga, Lake and Ashtabula counties. Students who receive straight As at the end of the first grading period receive tickets for a January game, while students receiving straight As the second grading period are entered into a contest to win two tickets to a Cavaliers home game later in the season. In all, 300 students from eight counties will be entered to win Cavaliers game tickets and a t-shirt, and everyone receives an official straight A all-star certificate and gift.

Adopting a Valentine Continued from Page 1 pounds, and she’s older. The story is that the family who abandoned her at the pound said she was 7 years old. Due to her good teeth and high energy level, I don’t think she’s that old, but it’s hard to say. Cathy made a phone call about Molly and wound up driving six hours, practically to Kentucky, to get her. She had planned carefully, arranging to drop her off at a rescue shelter, but when she got there, she took one look at the shelter and knew she couldn’t leave Molly in that filth. So she brought her home to a house that was too small. Her old cat refused to come out of hiding or eat, so Cathy didn’t know what to do. She had fallen in love with Molly and wanted to keep her, but it simply

wasn’t a viable option. When Janet called, knowing we had room for another dog, I agreed to see if she would get along with Sammy. They got along fine, and our family increased by one. Molly and Sammy grow closer every day. I don’t know who would give up a dog as good and obedient as Molly. She’s a complete angel who wants only to please, and her only error so far has been eating a batch of chocolate chip cookies that were cooling on the counter when my back was turned. Aside from that one digression, I’ve never had such a quiet dog who obeys orders immediately like she does. Although I do feel bad about not adopting a Geauga County dog and supporting a local shelter, Molly really needed that extra effort that Cathy put in to saving her and I’m glad the life of this energetic, funny little girl was spared. Sometimes forces greater than ourselves come together to put us all exactly where we belong, and it’s clear that Molly belongs in this family. She’s a great blessing and the perfect Valentine’s gift for us. Who needs a candy heart when you have a dog that melts yours? “I talk to him when I’m lonesome like; and I’m sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that. “ ~ W. Dayton Wedgefarth

We welcomed new members, had the old members name their favorite thing about last year, and planned for the next meeting. I am looking forward to the new year with the club!

community interest Small Steps and Resolutions Join the team at Hattie
By Christina Grand Porter
Research conducted at Scranton University revealed that 92 percent of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned within the first 60 days by people who have had the same resolutions for the past several years. Not good odds, but many quitting are failing because they set their goals too high. Resolutions are attempts to change habits, to alter normal behavior, and that can seldom be done immediately. Changing a habit takes small but important steps, but those baby steps lead to the large powerful strides that achieve goals. Don’t expect to throw over bad behavior and be ensconced in a dream situation before the spring thaw, but do have faith in yourself and your ability to reach that place. One resolution most people vow to tackle is to exercise more and/or weight loss. It sounds epic, but when broken down into small steps, rather than looking at it from your present to idea weight, it can be very manageable. Opt for a goal of just a few pounds at a time and then lower the ideal weight each time a goal is achieved. The bottom line is, you have to burn the calories you take in and you have to move to do so. Experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week, but you don’t have to hike, jog or cycle to exercise. Not all exercises appeal to everyone, so visit the library and try out exercise tapes to see which ones most appeal to you. Inside, stairs are a wonderful workout, so ditch the elevator and escalators when you’re out and use the stairs. Not only do they burn calories, but they shape your rear end and work your heart. At home, don’t make that pile on the stairs to take when you go up; rather, take each item up immediately. You’ll be amazed at how many more times you’ll use the stairs, and each time you climb them, you’re burning calories and working your heart muscles. When watching television, don’t just sit there. Start by moving during commercials so you know when to start and stop. Use dumbbells, or even soup cans to sculpt your arms, or get on your feet and do a few squats. You’ll be surprised how much you can get your heart pumping in that short amount of time. Fitness experts say that even fidgeting is helpful because all movement burns calories. When using the computer, take regular intervals every half hour to 45 minutes to get up and move around. Put on music while doing your chores. Music makes us want to move and dancing is so much fun it’s hard to think of it as exercise. The more you move, the more you want to, so something this tiny and basic could realistically send you on your way to reaching your fitness goal. If a resolution is to save money, it can be hard if an unrealistic amount is set as the goal. Taking the small step of saving change or having a small stipend, perhaps the cost of one or two lunches out per week, put aside is fulfilling the resolution. You can always stash away a bit more, but start small. Make certain you are putting a small enough dent in your income that you won’t be reaching for the piggy bank or withdrawal slip every time you run a little short. Pretend it’s not there and let it grow. If your company will defer money automatically to a bank or credit union, take advantage and put a little aside. Remember that it’s easier to be positive when you see yourself as a success, and watching savings grow helps with that self-image. Many people have an ongoing goal of ridding their homes of clutter. The thought is good, but since clutter winds up
everywhere, the task can feel mammoth. Here is where the smallest of steps can help. Tackle clutter by setting a goal of one drawer or one closet shelf at a time. Maybe one a week is enough for you, or you might want to take on one a day. It is better to underestimate and meet or surpass your goal. Make four piles; discard, recycle, keep and donate. The discard pile can be your garbage can, and find separate boxes for the recycle and donate piles so when your task is done for the day, the boxes can be moved aside or put right in the car, ready to go. Little by little you will whittle down those piles of things that you wonder why you kept at all. The best part is that decluttering makes finding what you are looking for easier and your drawers will close without having to push everything around. If you resolve to go back to school, make sure your schedule will be manageable. Even taking one class is fulfilling your goal and the credit for that class stays intact, so completing one is better than feeling bad that you took none. Persistence turns into triumph. If you seek a new, better job, set a goal of sending out a certain number of resumes per week or doing research or taking tutorials to improve your resume. Each task gets you closer to be able to move onward and upward. Do regular job searches for open positions and Google and contact local companies that might have jobs that are good fits. Even though a job isn’t posted, they might still accept resumes and you will get a sense of accomplishment knowing your are taking actions toward making things better for yourself. If you have vowed to eat healthier in 2015, you will be making the decision to opt for the right choice every day. Maybe you did slip and eat a donut at the staff meeting (or newspaper office) but that doesn’t mean the whole day is shot and you shouldn’t behave and have a healthy dinner. Fulfill this resolution one bite at a time - and if you are going off course, do it with a smaller portion of cake and only one piece from that decadent box of assorted chocolates. Since this is an ongoing challenge, it might work better to break it down small into a solid well defined goal such as simply eliminating potato chips, ice cream or eating anything after 7 p.m. One big resolution for 2015 is managing stress. Most stress comes from external forces, so it seems hard to prevent or reduce, but you can by planning ahead and prioritizing so important things or those with deadlines get done first. If you learn to recognize when stress is building and why, you can find ways to challenge negative emotions and take time to relax. You fight against stress every time it’s avoided. Last, make a few fun resolutions that you will look forward to keeping. Go on vacation, to that museum, or catch up with a friend you haven’t seen in way too long. Days, months and years fly by, so make the important decision to spend time with those who matter doing things you love to do. Whatever your resolution, break it down into small steps to give you a sense of accomplishment along your route. Small steps lead to mammoth heights. Recognize and acknowledge your progress and don’t dismiss your small victories as insignificant, because they aren’t.

When I heard this, I got out a calendar to prove to myself that Groundhog Day marks the midpoint of the winter season. Each season is 13 weeks. Feb. 2 is 6.5 weeks into the winter season with 6.5 weeks remaining before spring. Feb. 2 is the middle of the darkest, coldest, dreariest season; the groundhog is the conventional mascot. Traditional vermin used to measure the midpoint of winter throughout history from every culture and civilization includes hibernating animals: badgers, bears and hedgehogs. There were also ceremonies: Candlemas Day (a Christian holiday celebrating Mary’s ritual purification), the Romans mid-season festival on Feb. 5, the Irish pagan celebration around Feb. 1. Migrating Germans brought the groundhog (woodchuck or whistle pig) to America in the mid 1800s. Emerging from a cave of despair, ending hibernation helps the psyche. That any superstition persists in today’s age of awareness is remarkable to me. The mid-winter blues definitely affect people’s psyche. People pine for excuses to celebrate in a life heavy with suffering. Here we find an intriguing correlation to mid-life crisis. In the 1800s mid-life crisis apparently occurred around age 30, which made sense considering the average life span was 45; death was looming! Today’s average life span is near 80. Does a longer life span affect the psyche of mid life crisis? Research from a worldwide study of two million people from 80 countries suggests that people all over the world are miserable in “middle age”. Researchers found that in British men and women, the probability of depression peaked around age 44. In the United States, unhappiness peaked around age 40 for women and 50 for men. By age 70, if you are still physically fit, on average you are as happy and mentally healthy as a 20-year-old. Midlife depression happens to all people, not just those affected by divorce or changes in jobs or income; single and
married, rich and poor, those with and without children. Some people suffer more than others, but data shows the effect is large. Psychology is a potent, powerful drive of behavior. Crises and suffering provoke superstition of fear and of death; lost in a tunnel with no light in sight, like being in the mid winter with no evidence of spring. Constructing and using superstition as a basis for behavior is both a triumph and a travesty for humans. Superstitious festivities give a moment of joy amidst turmoil. Groundhog Day is an example of what people do to survive. But to utilize such festivities as a means of determining success or failure, happiness or sadness is foolish. Consider what superstitions, rites, rituals, ceremonies, and observances do to people’s psyche and daily living: graduation and marriage; President’s Day; special clothing and garments; specific foods on certain holidays; fireworks; trinkets to adorn body or home; gifts, rings, and alcohol; drugs. A world based on superstition and ceremony is a flat world. Take away superstition and ceremony -what remains? Reality. Through reality the world becomes round; life is an adventure. Mid life crises transform into something exciting around the next bend; we emerge from a cave. Do you rely on old superstitions and beliefs to make it through life or do you, like 20 and 70 year olds, feel emboldened? We start life not understanding superstitions and we finish by giving up superstitions. Reality shows we all are equal with unalienable rights. Superstition helps us survive in a cave. Health directly relates to either superstition or reality. Which we choose determines our state of mind and our behavior.

Five Ways to Love Your Heart Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day coming. See the red and pink hearts associated with this holiday remind us of the most important heart, the one beating in your chest. February is American Heart Month and brings awareness of heart disease, the leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that around 720,000 Americans have a heart attack each year. Further statistics indicate that around 600,000 people die of heart disease each year. While these numbers are grim, with the right information, you can greatly reduce your risk of having a heart attack. There are many personal behavior changes that can help keep you healthy and reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Take a look at these great ways to love your heart! 1. Quit Smoking. Smoking not only destroys your lungs, it is equally harmful to your heart and blood vessels. The damage to blood vessels can increase the buildup of plaque in arteries, which can lead to coronary heart disease. Smoking is a huge risk for heart disease. 2. Lose weight. Excess body weight
increases your risk of developing heart disease. Individuals who are overweight or obese force their heart and other organs to work harder to keep their body functioning. Being within a healthy weight improves all areas of your body including the way your body circulates blood and manages fluid. 3. Lay off the junk food. A diet heavy in saturated fats, added sugars and processed carbohydrates (the key ingredients in most junk foods) is not a diet that is good for your heart. A heart healthy diet includes plenty of fruits and veggies, lean protein, whole grains and healthy fats like the omega 3’s contained in olive oil. 4. Get off the couch. Physical activity is important to heart health. Exercise gets blood moving and improves your circulation; both good things for the heart. It strengthens your heart, helps to control your blood pressure and can also make you feel better. Instead of sitting on the couch, go for a walk or do something active. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week 5. Limit your alcohol intake. Excessive use of alcohol can raise the levels of fats in your blood, which can increase the risk for heart Continued on Page 11
