e all look fo r w a rd to the end of winter for better weather but spring’s warmth can be very unstable, bringing storms that lead to problems like power outages. The Amish certainly have an edge in this regard because it seems as technology advances, people are becoming more and more dependent on electricity. Last month I was due at the office of the Middlefield Post to do some editing at 9:30 a.m. I woke up at 7:15 when I heard a click. I knew that click -- it’s the one I hear when the power clicks on or off. Unfortunately this click meant the power had just gone off. I got up, fed the dogs and decided to read and sip some water since I have an electric range and couldn’t make tea. I’m one of the last people in the world who doesn’t have a cell phone and although I do have a battery powered clock for such events, the clock had recently stopped working. I didn’t worry about time too much, though, because I figured I would go out and start my car to see what time it was a little later. When it was time to check, it hit me that the garage door had an electric opener. I tried to get in the side walkthrough door of the garage, but with all the recent freezing and thawing, the wood had swollen and I couldn’t budge it. It was a terrible feeling to think I was stranded, but I reminded myself this wasn’t a big deal and it wouldn’t last long while I thought back to when I had a land phone line so could always make phone calls and a gas stove that could be used during electric outages. Then I did the only thing I could do: sighed, went back inside, sat down with a book and waited for the power to come back on. As technology advances it is also
getting more complicated. Remember when you could move to a new home, plug in the television and watch the evening news? That won’t happen anymore. Now we have to be signed up with a cable or dish company, and they have to come out and hook us up before we can view even local stations. The web of things working only by being connected to other things is increasing and it’s pretty frightening. One new connection in the cycle adds a dependency on one more company. Then the companies sell to larger companies and our business seems to matter less and less once we’re moved from a customer list of hundreds of thousands into one of hundreds of millions. I can clearly see the difference in my phone and cable service. I’m on the Orwell phone line and I used to know all the customer service representatives. They were friends and neighbors who knew my dogs’ names and recognized my voice when I phoned in with a problem. When I called, they didn’t even have to ask for my address and were at my house in about a half hour with treats for my dogs in their shirt pockets. Now that the accounts and customers have been sold to FairPoint Communications, I’m not sure which state I’m calling when I ask for assistance and wherever it is, they have no idea what’s going on here. I’ve called about Internet outages to be told there were no reported problems in the area, then later found out a car had hit a power box or a tree fell on a line. The company had no idea; the network is too large for them to keep on top of each area and it’s probably too large for them to even care what’s happening in each area. Rural living used to give residents a wonderful level of personal service and some of the local businesses still offer that. But when it comes to our utilities, we are no longer big fish in a small pond; we’re miniscule guppies in a pond the size of the seven seas.
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens. Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." ~ Author Unknown

(above) High school sophomores from Berkshire, Ledgemont, Newbury and Cardinal learned many skills during Career Readiness Training, offered through Geauga Growth Partnership and held March 25 and 26 at Kent State University Geauga. (above, bottom left) Donald Wayne McLeod gave a wildly interactive presentation on PERCEPTIONOLOGY® his trademarked training about managing the perceptions we leave on others at that first meeting. After an hour with Mr. McLeod, students knew first impressions do matter, as do that handshake, eye contact and the ability to remember a name.
Sophomores Prepare for Future High school sophomores from Berkshire, Ledgemont, Newbury and Cardinal learned many skills during Career Readiness Training, offered through Geauga Growth Partnership on March 25 and 26 at Kent State University Geauga. Students participated in gamestyle trainings on skills like enthusiasm, punctuality, responsibility and leadership; heard guest speakers and were introduced to Career Locker, a career development website that helps with career awareness and preparedness. Students who completed the day provided feedback and reported increased courage, perception and confidence. Attorneys from Walter Haverfield, LLP, Eric Johnson (on the 25th) and Susan Anderson (on the 26th) spoke to students about the importance of how they use social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. “Nothing you post ever goes away,” said Johnson. Even if you think you’ve deleted something, it’s never really gone, so make sure what you post is something you would share with everyone. Sophomore, Junior and Senior High School Career Readiness Days are scheduled throughout the school year for school districts in Geauga County.

Ever See a Chocolate Bunny Being Born? Everybody knows Easter falls on a different date each year, but few people can tell you why. At your Easter family gathering you’ll sound like the smartest person in the room if you can remember this simple formula - Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox, March 21. The only variable is the date of that first full moon. Easter always falls between March 22 and April 25. This year it is April 5 and next year it will be March 27. At White House Chocolates they have to prepare a unique selection of candy for each holiday. Christmas is the biggest holiday but Easter is their second biggest. In preparation for Easter, they mold hundreds and hundreds of bunnies, crosses, chicks and lambs. They’ve just completed production of their fudge-filled eggs made from scratch. Currently they are making and packaging Easter novelties such as decorated Oreos, grahams, Rice Krispies, and chocolate coated Peeps. Now is the time to stop and see chocolate bunnies being born daily. White House Chocolates is located at 14607 Kinsman Road (Route 87) next to Carter Lumber between Burton and Middlefield. Stop in Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 440-834-3133 or visit them online at www.whitehousechocolates.com.
Easter Egg Hunts Burton Burton Village's annual Easter Egg Hunt will take place Saturday, April 4 at 11 a.m. at the sound end of the park on the square. Children age 1 through 6 are divided into three age groups. Burton Village's annual Easter Egg Hunt is believed to be the oldest and longest running hunt in Geauga county, traced back to starting with the Jaycee's in 1959. There will be 30 prize eggs for each age group and a special marked grand prize egg. The Easter Bunny will hop into the park to greet the kids and will be available for pictures, so remember to bring your camera! The Easter Egg Hunt is organized every year through the hard work of Lee and Jane Koroshes and the generous donations and support of community organizations, local businesses and private individuals. To donate, mail a check to P.O. Box 318, Burton, OH 44021 or place it in one of the donation cans the morning of the Hunt.

Edith H. Sloan (Hickox), 93, of West Farmington, passed away peacefully March 19, 2015 at St. Joseph Health Center in Warren surrounded by her loving family. She was born December 12, 1921 to the late Elbert M. and Thelma (Sears) Hickox, the eldest of eight children. Edith married Richard “Dick” Sloan on June 28, 1939. The wedding was held at her parents’ home and decorated with pink roses grown on the farm. In 1999, Edith and Dick celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with an open house and her sons brought some of the same pink roses from the old farm and used them in the decorations. They are now once again reunited after 62 years of marriage after Dick passed away on April 25, 2002. She always helped care for her younger brothers and sisters. Even after she was married, she would ride the school bus, which was driven by her dad, back to the farm to help with her younger siblings. Then Dick would always pick her up on his way home from work. Edith and Dick were blessed with seven children. Edith worked with Dick at his construction business doing finish work such as painting and wallpapering. She also performed office work to keep the business running. Edith served as the librarian at Farmington School a few years and worked at Sajar Plastics in the 1970s. She was an excellent seamstress and loved to make wedding and bridesmaids’ gowns for family and others. Edith participated in the Women’s Relief Corps and also sewed the red vests they wore. She also made doll clothes, quilts, afghans, and other homemade gifts for everyone she loved. She's lived her entire life in Farmington and was a valuable asset to the community, recently honored as a 75 year Farmington Alumni Association member. Edith was an active member of the West Farmington United Methodist Church and enjoyed meeting friends for lunch at the Senior Center. In her later years, Edith spent a lot of time reading articles and newspapers to stay informed on the happenings around town. She enjoyed watching the neighborhood kids play, but most of all, she cherished the regular visits from her devoted family. Edith will be greatly missed by her children, Jim (Doris), Larry (Nora), Donald (Debbie), Doreen (Paul) Walker, Burt, Wayne; 17 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; brother, Bob; sister, Lois; and many friends. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Dick; son, Russell, who passed away in 1958 just days before his eighth birthday; daughters-in-law, Lucy and Sue; brothers, Elbert Jr., Lyle, Dale, Roy; and sister, Janet. Edith was buried in Hillside Cemetery in West Farmington. Online condolences to www. bestfunerals.com.

Vulnerability
I
his son. Jon was a dad and at that time she was not allowing my brother to have any interaction with him. This was crushing him. Jon was attempting to legally gain visitation rights, he wanted play a part in this child’s life. But that was moving slowly and was fairly costly. I believe it came to a point where he lost hope. Hope fixes your eyes on the horizon. It gives you the encouragement to keep pushing through when everything is crumbling around you. A sad reality was that my brother was not placing his hope in Christ. Everything that he was looking to anchor his hope in was coming up empty, it was falling short. So when the pain kept coming, and there was no hope of relief, he decided to leave it all behind. The pain that he was walking through was pain that he was attempting to walk through on his own. He wasn’t looking for help from God and definitely not looking for any help from the people around him that loved him. There was an unwillingness to be vulnerable about his deepest pain. He wasn’t strong enough to bear the weight of this pain by himself. The reality is that you’re not strong enough either. I want to encourage you first to turn to Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that you are created in the image of God. This means that you are specifically loved by God, and He cares about every detail of your life. Second, I want to encourage you to find godly friends that care about you and walk by your side through every moment of life. If you don’t know where to look for friends like that, start at the church. If there is one place where it should be safe to unveil the secrets and pain points of your life, it should be the church. It’s a place where you can finally be free to be vulnerable.
’ve recently been thinking a lot about vulnerability. Although we all want to fight against it, vulnerability is exactly what we need. We need people in our lives who truly know who we are and understand the things that we’re walking through. But sadly, many of us have been wounded too deeply or have never found that one person or that small group of people we can share all of our lives with. Instead of getting encouragement that we desperately need in life, we bottle up our emotions and the pain that we face. We lose hope in life. The reality is that all across this nation and across the world people have lost all hope for even living. They see no way out of their pain and as a result, they take their own lives. I know this all too well. My younger brother Jon took his life almost 10 years ago. It was by far the hardest phone call I have ever received. My dad called me while I was living 11 hours away from the rest of my family and relayed the news that Jon had passed away. It took a little while to figure out what happened. Eventually we came to understand Jon had come home from the night shift at the hospital, where he worked as a phlebotomist. He took a number of painkillers, crawled in bed, and never woke up. Jon was a week short of turning 23 years old. The circumstances of his life at that time were not great. The biggest one was that a former girlfriend had given birth to
