This is a photo of the Chamber of Commerce annual Sidewalk Sale in Middlefield. This picture is of “Kiddie Togs”, a children’s clothing store located on the present site of the Cardinal Board of Education building. Shown out front is store owner, Robert Hills, who with his wife, Mildred owned and operated Kiddie Togs. Later, the public library moved from the Cardinal Intermediate School into this building. Eventually, it was torn down and a new library building was built in its place. That building was out grown by the library and was given to the Cardinal BOE when the new library opened at its present site on the east side of town.

This photos shows the north side of West High Street in the early 1960s during a sidewalk sale. All of the stores shown are gone and have been replaced. The Rexall Drug Store was the first store on the block and was located where Roadhouse Music is currently. Next door was Zang’s Western Auto, then the Ez Way Laundromat, followed by the Warren Sanitary Dairy restaurant, the Kleinfeld’s Department Store and lastly Town Tavern. During sidewalk sales, merchants would offer great bargains on store merchandise and set up tables outside on their sidewalks to sell it. Sidewalk sales brought shoppers to Middlefield from all over looking for that special bargain.

By Mayor Ben Garlich On Monday, Feb. 19, I was privileged to attend an employee luncheon at Chem Technologies, which is located at the northeastern end of Middlefield Village. The lunch was a celebration to recognize Chem Tech employees for their efforts, which resulted in the best January in the history of the company. CEO Jim Schill spoke and explained why they were so successful. His message was simple in content but complicated in execution, “listen to your customer, exceed their expectations.” Jim knows satisfied customers result when employees take pride in their work and their workplace. It was evident that treating his employees fairly is a priority. His success as an employer, his provision of quality employment and his bullish approach to grow the business made me glad he is part of the Middlefield community. It was the expansion plans of Chem Technologies that prompted Middlefield Village to move forward with the annexation of the property at Routes 528 and 87, as expanding on this land will meet Chem Tech’s immediate and long term needs. On Thursday, Feb. 22, as a result of the cooperation of Middlefield Township, Cardinal Schools, Geauga County and elected Village officials, this annexation became a reality. We continue to focus on the creation of opportunities that will expand employment options in the Village of Middlefield. We know when people live and work in this Village; all aspects of our Village become stronger. Maintaining open lines of communication and pursuing initiatives to further set this Village apart will make us the location of choice for families to live and do business. I again encourage you to utilize our Web site www.middlefieldohio.com and stay informed. The more informed and engaged you become, the better our Village will be.

Library fines got you down? Step up and be forgiven. From March 9 through 17, patrons with overdue charges may visit or call their library to clear their cards and consciences. All fines will be waived when patrons contact their library, return materials regardless of how long they have been overdue and receive complete amnesty. Patrons who lost materials may visit their library to pay a percentage of its replacement cost. The only time GCPL offers fine forgiveness is when the library undergoes a massive electronic content migration such as the one in progress. Since this event is rare, full pardon from overdue charges is not expected to occur again for many, many years. The Geauga County Public Library includes libraries in Bainbridge, Chardon, Geauga West (Chesterland) and Middlefield; stations housed in schools in Newbury and Thompson; one Bookmobile that serves farms, nursing homes and nursery schools and an administrative center where technical services, computer services, facilities and administrative functions reside.

{ health } Megadose Supplements Dr. David Fakadej

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help. Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine. Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good, not because they reduce cancer. Watson also stated, “The time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancer.” Indeed, clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer. Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die. Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death! Indeed, preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer. Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function. The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP). If antioxidants neutralize oxidants, the body can’t make ATP resulting in lethargy, apathy, weakness and illness. When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation – the result: dependence upon antioxidants. Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n. Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements. The body needs time to restart normal function. During that time the person may get sick. Then they claim, “The megadose helps because whenever I stop them, I get sick!” Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness. No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply. No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply. Megadose supplements are contrary to doctor’s orders, if for no other reason, based on good research or as the old adage states, “Too much of anything is not good!” Dr. David Fakadej, DC, LMT, is the proprietor at Journey Health Care & Chiropractic, 17652 Munn Road, Auburn Township.

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function. Years ago, a particular store had a problem; a large number of employees developed disc herniations, which created a workers’ compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting). To reduce workers’ compensation claims, the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt. Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims. However, when the employees retired, many had sudden onset disc herniations. The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform. Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job, the muscles didn’t perform normally and they weakened. The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt, instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting. The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced. Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function. People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health. This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness. A Nobel Prize winner (James D. Watson, Ph.D – one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment. “Unless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels, latestage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is today,” said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery.

“You’ve Got Character
CIS students, as well as the third-grade class from Jordak, recently enjoyed the “You’ve Got Character!” assembly. Mr. Eugene Clark, of Midwest School Shows, traveled in from Michigan to speak with the students about Character Counts: Six Pillars of Character. Topics included - trustworthiness, responsibility, caring, respect, fairness and citizenship. Many students volunteered and helped lead their classmates through character building activities.

{ community youth } The Breeders and Feeders 4-H Club met Feb. 17 at Munson Township Hall. We held our individual species meetings and then our regular business meeting. At our business meeting a lot of items were discussed. Cody Hamilton gave a report on tractor safety and Katie Daugherty gave a report on feeding animals in the winter months. The window display was discussed for 4-H week. A thank you came from Mrs. Soltis for all the baskets for the Austin Hunt fundraiser and she gave an update on him. Shelby Smith asked rabbit members to bring their rabbits to Burton Healthcare from 10 a.m. to noon before the March 24 meeting. A reminder for all club members that Quality Assurance will be May 4 from 10 a.m. to noon; if you are unable to attend you must either test out or attend another county’s Quality Assurance. A reminder that Camp Whitewood is June 16 through 22, so if you are interested in attending and need financial aid there are scholarships available. Applications are available on the extension Web site. The club will make a basket for the Jazz for Opal House fundraiser; Kelli Briggs and Ashley Pitorak will take care of it. The club will also prepare pies and cakes for a Bake Sale for the Brad Wells fundraiser April 27. Enrollment forms are due along with your project book fees. The next meeting will be held March 24 at the Huntsburg Town Hall. The meeting was adjourned and the club went to Chagrin Roller Rink for skating and fun.
The County Coyotes By Jimmy Gilcher Geauga County’s 4-H Shooting Sports Club, The County Coyotes, meets each Monday evening at Great Lakes Outdoor Supply to learn how to safely shoot bows and shotguns. Safety, fun, and safety—the clubs three most important rules—come first at all times, ensuring an enjoyable shooting experience for each member. Club members serve as officers and manage the club’s meetings, finances and activities with the help of a certified 4-H instructor, Kirk Bacon. The coming year holds great promise for the club. Donated use of the Great Lakes shooting range will allow members to shoot comfortably indoors, a significant improvement from shooting in the fairground’s horse barns. Interest in the club has grown tremendously in the last year and enrollment now totals 29 boys and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 19. As the temperatures warm, the Coyotes plan to shoot outdoors at the Punderson State Park archery range and learn the basics of trap shooting in June, concluding their year by running the Ohio DNR shooting trailer at the Community Rib BurnOff in August. Although new member registration for 2013 has closed, anyone interested in learning more about the club can contact Kirk Bacon at kirk.bacon@yahoo.com.

Geauga Caprine Kids
Geauga Caprine Kids is a 4-H club that is open to kids ages 5-18. Meetings are held the third Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. at the Patterson Center, at the Geauga County Fairgrounds. February’s meeting included a discussion and signup for the projects that members wanted to do this year. We also had a presentation from our safety officer, Thomas Larkins, that covered tips on how to properly care for our barnyard animals in the winter. We also had a guest speaker, Mrs. Kay Bright of Kajon Farms, who spoke to us about keeping goats, what you need to know to care for them. She handed out a packet that had information ranging from supplies needed, to common terms used and places to find information regarding their health. We will have speakers throughout the year, like Mrs. Bright who will come and teach us about caring for different animals. This helps our members since for some of us in the club it will be our first year owning them. March 3-9 is Ohio 4-H week and you will see window displays and posters all around town promoting our different clubs and activities. If you want to join our club there is still time! Final enrollment deadline is April 15, 2014 by 4:30 p.m. Contact the Geauga County Ohio extension office for more information, 440-834-4656.

The Rolling Green
The past weeks of winter were cold, but by all standards, it was a mild winter. The days are lengthening. The birds can be heard singing during the early morning. Spring is sitting on our door steps. It is just a matter of when we let it in. Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months. It will definitely help get the season started with faster results. Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity. Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line. A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green. Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasn’t played to your capability. Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up. Always accelerate through every putt. Longer putts need a longer back stroke. Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face. If there is a line on the top of the putter face, remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face. Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt. It will also help keep the putt on the line intended. Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the
takeaway to the finish of the stroke. Have fun. Talk to you soon. Robert Kacica is the golf professional at Rolling Green Golf Course, 15900 Mayfield Road, Huntsburg. Call him there at 440-6365171.

In the “Priceless Wedding” story of the Feb. 13 issue of the Middlefield Post, page 5 of the Bridal Section, the article should have read, “It’s 85 percent of couples who marry in a religious ceremony, not 8 percent.”

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon.
My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth
merryfield electric, inc
We first got together at 7:30 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home. There we learned it isn’t a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless. The neat part of the home is it isn’t a homeless shelter, but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets. This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live. While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon. She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps. A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs. My sister, Ashly attended last year. Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund. Ms. Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund. She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb. 27 event by Fairmount Mineral, the first company to donate money; they asked her to set up this fund. The total amount donated was $100,000. An example of where the money went, was for Nick Walzack’s car. As many people know, Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day. The car was customized so Nick could drive it. The Healing Fund has a total of $950,000 in it currently. Another organization that Ms. Leininger talked to us about is called 211. Dr. Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups. Each group was given a scenario about a family in need. These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children, to an elderly woman dying. Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator. Once you called 211, you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group. After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3. The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had. The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day. Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15. We all ventured to Aldi’s in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families. The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe. We made a stop at the Department of Aging, were served lunch and played chair volleyball. The “old folks” were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts. Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Women’s Safe. After a long day of learning and hard work, I will say that it was very interesting and eyeopening. Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain. It’s so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more.

Amish Vs. Yankee Basketball Game The ninth annual “Amish vs. Yankee” benefit basketball game will take place Friday night, March15 at 5:45 p.m. at Cardinal High School gym in Middlefield. It has been 9 years since that first game that benefited Relay for Life. Since that time, the event has helped Sam Schleger, a teen with cancer, Elizabeth Hershberger, an Amish schoolteacher with cancer, Noah Yoder, who need a prosthetic, Andrew Yoder, who had cancer, and now this year John Byler and his family. John was hurt in a logging accident in the woods. Each year some of the proceeds still go to Relay for Life, but the majority goes to the individual. There are five Amish teams and three Yankee teams (one of the Amish teams plays in the Yankee bracket). The Amish play each other in a series of games and the overall winner will be the team who plays the winner of the Yankee bracket. There is a guarantee of two games for each team since it is a double elimination tournament. The games are fast and furious, and may only last 8 to 10 minutes. The final game is the “best of the best”. The winner of the Amish bracket will play the winner of the Yankee bracket for a true “Amish vs. Yankee” game. Tickets are $5 and can be bought at Great Lake Outdoor Supply,14855 N. State Ave. Middlefield. Raffles, pizza, pop, and grilled cheeseburgers, popcorn and candy will be available at the concession stand.

You and Your Spine Horses, carts and buggies, cars and motorized equipment all need maintenance to function properly, so why not you and your spine? Wellness is more than an absence of disease, rather it is the presence of healthy function and balance. Imbalances can occur as a result of spinal misalignment. Everything from a poor diet, stress, injuries, car accidents and jobs requiring heavy labor can all be contributing factors. • No need to suffer from headaches, sinus problems, or back, neck or joint pain. • Pain is the body’s alarm system warning you there is a problem. • Adults and children can prevent dysfunction by maintaining a healthy spine and receiving spinal adjustments before issues occur. Total Spine Care is a full Chiropractic facility using many different modalities such as manipulation, activator, ultrasound, electric stimulation, laser and applied kinesiology. For severe problems like bulging/herniated discs and sciatic problems we offer spinal decompression. Every patient is treated on an individual basis to address their specific needs. Our goal is to assist you in achieving optimal health. Walk-ins are welcome. No wait time. No travel time as we are in the heart of Middlefield. Dr. Frank Andosca D.C. of Total Spine Care is located at 14982 S. State Ave. (44062). Call 440-321-9936.

Dog Training Classes (Obedience/Agility) (left) Albert is between 10 -12 years “young”. He is neutered, vaccinated and has tested negative for leukemia/FIV. He is a gentle cat that wants nothing more than to be loved. He tolerates other cats but would be happiest as the only cat. (above) Darla is a beautiful white kitten with cool black markings. She has a very sweet personality and likes to cuddle. Her brother Blaze is a handsome gray-tiger-stripe kitten with white paws. Check out that cool white “blaze” above his nose. He enjoys sleeping right in between the pillows with his foster parents. Both get along purrfectly with cats and dogs. It would be nice to find a home for them together, but I would consider adopting separately as long as there is another cat in your home.
