emember the very first day of school, not this year, but 12 years ago? For me it was first grade and I remember setting out my clothes along with my new white shoes, and double checking the supplies list to make sure I had it all in my double strap backpack complete with a keychain for every zipper. Yes, I was a list-making dork even at that early age. I am sure on that same morning, Samuel Heredos had flexed in the mirror before walking out to meet the bus, Johnny Kravetz waved goodbye to his favorite guitar, and Grace Hickox had plopped that adorable hat with the flower on her head. The total time we have spent in school can be expressed by the area under the curve

of an equation between the bounds of that first day of school to precisely this day, May 24 of 2013. Zak Gray and Joey Toth know what I’m talking about, right? It is interesting for me to think how eager I was to start that first day of school 12 years ago, and in these past few months I
have anticipated graduation with the same enthusiasm, as did Tommy Shirkey and Kali Freiberg who were voted to have the worst case of senioritis. To be honest though, 4 years of attending Cardinal High School Continued on page 2

Cardinal High School Graduating Class of 2013
ood evening of all I would like to personally congratulate the Class of 2013. We have been told our entire lives that individuality is the key to success and now we are all here wearing the exact same caps and gowns. Good work! So in relation to being “individual” I want to pick on our valedictorians here for a minute. Maybe if one of them was a little
and welcome. First
more” individual” there wouldn’t have been a tie. These equally outstanding academic achievements resulted in me having to give a speech. So thanks a lot. Just kidding. They both know I’m just jealous because I’m the third wheel up here. In all honesty though, you both are very deserving and I’m very proud of you. Now that we’ve recognized the gold medalists I thought I’d briefly give an accurate Cardinal 2013 graduating valedictorian, description of myself Rebecca Wolff; salutatorian, Sam Heredos as a student. These and valedictorian, Eleni Timas three key attributes
helped me become salutatorian: incredible organizational skills, perfected study habits and esteemed academic drive. So with all that in mind I’m going start over and introduce the real me because most of my classmates are sitting here, looking up at me thinking “who are you and what have you done with Sam Heredos”. It’s true; all of those perfect scholarly qualities are very unlike me. The most difficult part of high school for me was not completing the assignment, it was finding the assignment in the first place, or remembering to turn it in. This difficulty, no doubt, resulted from the conditions of my locker, which is what I’m most well known for at Cardinal. It’s number 143, the locker that’s always half open with books and Continued on page 4

{ editorial } The Art of Living Continued from Page 1 has turned into just another 20 minutes before we receive our diplomas much more quickly than I had ever expected. I am sure the other students that have them on their phones were just as shocked as I had been when the Countdown App no longer contained days but only hours, minutes, and seconds. Francis Bacon states, “Let us not hurry so in our pace of living that we lose sight of the art of living.”This is written on a note card taped to my mirror that I have read every morning for the past 2 years. For me it is a healthy reminder that life is more important than the finish line, it is about the path we take to get there and how we choose to move along that path. Especially in high school is it easy to become overwhelmed. A typical day may include hitting snooze a few times, waking up at six, taking a full course load, running to a quick after school meeting before sports practice, coming home to practice an instrument, go to play practice or head to work and then falling asleep with your books trying to finish homework. I know better than anyone your life can become a list of to-do’s and a pile of crumpled post-it notes of all the reminders you finished from yesterday. As Francis Bacon says though, it is the bright sunrise and pink skies you get to witness being awake at 6 a.m., it is the abundance of knowledge we get to experience daily in school, it is the personal relationships built at club meetings, and it is the satisfaction of completing an activity you enjoy, or the later gratification of buying the new thing you had been saving up for with your paychecks.
In This Issue ...
In this way, it is no longer the plethora of activities or organizations we belong to, but the lessons we learn, the relationships we cultivate and the experiences that define the people we are to become. In my own life, two of the most influential people have been my parents, Mike and Felicia Timas. They have taught me to love Jesus, to love learning, and to love the life I have been given. I am quite certain that without those three key lessons, a different person would be standing before you tonight. Particularly I would like to thank my mother for always making sure I was fed, for always being available to me when I needed her and for her incredible motivational late night speeches. To my dad I would like to say he has made me a much better person for teaching me all the words to “Misfit Kid” by the Cars, and “I’m so in Love with You” by Rod Stewart. I’m also kind of hoping he will come with me to Virginia to continue editing my papers and fixing all of my computer problems, because we all know I just learned how to use a flash drive last year. I would also like to thank my sister Biz for always making me laugh even when I’m feisty and for letting me borrow her clothes, otherwise I probably would have worn my rain boots everyday to school. My brothers, Michael, for setting the academic bar high for me as he was the valedictorian of his graduating class in 2011, and Luke for being the most adorable, rugrat of a little brother. I am obligated to specifically thank two other people because of the immense impact they have had in my life. Both of these girls have been my closest friends Continued on Page 4

After getting out of the dairy business and the car business, he became an industrial developer and Real Estate broker in the Middlefield area. The area around the intersection of routes 608 and 528 is still called “Boorn’s Corners” by some old timers. He moved to Florida in his retirement and in July he will be celebrating his 97th birthday. Big Elm Dairy was one of three dairies that called Middlefield home in the 30s and 40s. The other two were the Middlefield Dairy and the Glen Valley Farms Dairy. Regulations in the dairy industry were not what they are today and many communities in Geauga County had their own local dairies.
● SEAFOOD — Shrimp ● Clam Strips ● Scallops ● Lake Perch ● Crab Cakes ●
Big Elm Dairy was located just south of Middlefield on land now occupied by the Geauga County Airport. It was owned by Malcolm Boorn, who operated the dairy 1936-1946. He also owned Middlefield Community Sales, the forerunner to the Monday sale held at the sale barn on Nauvoo Road and he owned a Chrysler Plymouth dealership from 1949-1955 that was located on the site of Quest For Health, next to the cemetery.
Looking For Any & All Scrap Metals This photo is of Malcolm Boorn and the truck he used to deliver milk house to house. The two photos above show a milk bottle and paper seal from the dairy. (See page 7 in the Men’s section for more on the Big Elm Dairy.)

{ educate } A Thankful Graduate
Continued from Page 1 papers hanging out of the bottom. Teachers would often comment on the condition of my locker, some annoyed but also some impressed that I could find anything in it at all. I was always unsure whether or not to take it as a compliment. Actually now, I have come to accept this unconventional educational life and somewhat enjoy it. I would say, overall as a class, we are very unconventional. It’s amusing to see how each person varies and divides their time to complete their schoolwork. There is one word that justly describes our class as a whole. This term is procrastination. There is a very fine line between having great time management skills and being a procrastinator. Many of us flirted with that line way too often. In a way we became professional procrastinators throughout high school (and yes Mrs. Turon “professional procrastination” is a great example of alliteration.) It has always amazed me how friendly and personable our class has become over the years. Watching everyone grow, mature, and help each other succeed has been truly memorable. This inner-class collaboration results in a better understanding of different personalities throughout the school day, which has helped me become a more rounded individual. I talk about it all the time, but it’s kind of hilarious to think about how the golfer/math nerd (me) is friends with the football stars. This sense of unity that so many of us have in our senior class is why it is so difficult for me to pick who to thank and mention. So now to the best of my ability I want to recognize everyone who made my high school experience unforgettable. First Grace Hickox, thanks for putting up with me as your locker buddy since middle school. Hopefully your roommate in college will be more organized like yourself and won’t hit you in the head with a locker. Ryan, Adam, Mike, Jason, Cory, all you guys, you know who you are, you’re the best. Thanks for everything! To Mary Ribar, I’ve shared the same schedule with you since freshmen year. Thanks for putting up with me every part of me for 5,040 hours in the classroom. You know me better than anyone and are correct in assuming that I calculated the number of hours we’ve spent together
on my TI-84 Plus calculator. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I’m pretty nerdy once you get to know me! To Eleni Timas and Becca Wolff, I think it goes without saying, but without you two, I guarantee I would not be standing up here right now. Thanks for wasting so much time on me. I owe both of you so much. Next, I’d like to thank my AP Calculus Class for learning with me how to solve every problem, life or math related. You guys are the best! I’m going to miss everyone, including the highlight of my day, every day Andrew Jesunas. Andrew is the smartest and funniest person I know and will be extremely successful later in life. Separately, I’d like to thank our calculus teacher Chen, sorry Mr. Chenoweth. You have been the most inspirational teacher to me as well as many others throughout high school. On behalf of our class I thank you. I want to thank Mr. Clutter for being an awesome biology and anatomy teacher. You are the most overall knowledgeable person that I know and thanks for the advice about weightlifting. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Turon, thanks you so much for your help with college applications, and essays. Both of you are wonderful and go out of your way to help us succeed. I speak for everyone in the class of 2013 when I say thank you! Now to Jonathan and Daniel my younger twin brothers. Thank you for always brightening my day. You are both hilarious individuals and amazing athletes. Don’t forget to come visit me in college. Next, to my older sister Rosemary. It’s safe to say that she received the brains of the family. She is a grammatical genius, and fabulous singer. She has proofread every paper for me throughout high school and has done an amazing job. You have helped me to the best of your ability to follow in your footsteps and now I am also a salutatorian of Cardinal High School. Thanks for all your help Sis!! Now I’d like to acknowledge two very special people. This whole time my parents have been listening to my speech as intently as they have listened and helped with every aspect of my life for the last 17.9 years. I will never be able to thank them enough, but just for the record this should count as a few hundred thank-yous considering there’s a few hundred people here right now as witnesses, so thanks Mom and Dad! To follow up on that, I want
to thank everyone here tonight: parents, family and friends. You prepared all of us for this moment we have all been waiting for. We could not have done it without your continued support. And finally, last but not least Class of 2013. We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to attend such a small school where we have the ability to know every single person in our class. There will be no unfamiliar faces as we receive our diplomas and I hope you realize as I have, how meaningful each and every day has been with one another. There are no words
to describe the gratitude I show towards all of you, so instead I think I’ll give you a tip to get you started down the right path after graduation. In the wise words of Ricky Bobby “If you ain’t first, you’re last. 98 percent of people will die sometime in their lives” so make the most of it! Apply everything you’ve learned, follow your dreams and savor every moment of it. This is the end of one stage in life but also the beginning of another. I wish all of you the best of luck and please remember to stay in touch. Thank you.
The Art of Living Continued from Page 2 since elementary. A time when high school graduation was never going to come and 10 o’clock was late on a school night. Kourtney Kelly has been my best friend since the fourth grade and has been with me through the best and worst of times. She’s made sure I’ve had fun in high school and didn’t just have my nose in a book the entire time. I know she saves her best death stare for me, which makes me feel pretty important. And secondly, is my co-valedictorian Becca Wolff. The most rebellious thing we have done together is beat the system and make sure we both came out at the top of our class and consider participating in the whole senioritis thing, which you all know didn’t really happen. She is my one motivator and probably gives the best hugs of anyone I know. Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate each of you, the 2013 graduating class of Cardinal High School and all of the teachers and faculty that have led us to this point. Without each individual sitting here, especially Jason Farmwald, I am sure the past 4 years would not have been as “interesting” and “entertaining” as it has been. In the coming months as we all go in our separate directions, it is the memories made in this very building that we will look back and remember fondly. Just as these past 4 years have gone by quickly, and time will continually seem to move faster it is my sincerest hope that you will never “lose sight of the art of living” and will never forget the times we shared in our little corner of the world. I wish you all the best of blessings and future successes. Rebecca Wolff’s, Cardinal High School co-valedictorian, speech was not available at time of print.

“Failure is not an option,” states Dr. Scott Hunt, quoting Michael Fullan from a book authored by Alan M. Blankstein about student success. Dr. Hunt was hired in April with a unanimous vote from the Cardinal Board of Education and will begin to fulfill a three-year contract as superintendent of Cardinal schools this August. Dr. Hunt says, “I look forward to serving the students, teachers and communities of Middlefield Village, Middlefield Township, Huntsburg Township, and Parkman Township.” His official start date is Aug. 1, but he is already familiar with the district. He has attended the teacher professional development day, participated in district safety and security committee meetings and met with a variety of school personnel and community members. Dr. Hunt grew up and was schooled in Youngstown. His mother worked as secretary for the principal and superintendent and he is certain her positions played a role in his aspiration to be an integral part of the educational system. For his undergrad degree, he attended Bethany College in Bethany W.V. and after graduating, he moved to Naples, Fla. where his family was then living. It was in Naples that he began his career teaching fifth-graders. While teaching, he attended the University of South Florida and completed a Masters degree in Education, specializing in guidance and counseling. In 1994, he relocated back to Ohio and spent a year teaching in the Cleveland Municipal School District and then moved to Beachwood to teach eighth-grade science. While he was in Beachwood he initiated an OWA (Occupational Work Adjustment) program at Beachwood High School. This experience solidified his belief, “It is essential that students have opportunities to interact with local businesses.” In 1998, he took a position at Perry High School as guidance counselor. Since moving to Perry, he has served in a variety of roles: counselor for 4 years, high school assistant principal for 5 years, another 5 years as the middle school principal and a year as the director of College and Career Readiness. While in Perry, he completed his principal and superintendent’s license through Cleveland State University. In addition, he
earned his online doctorate in 2010 and graduated with an EdD in education in the Organizational Leadership Program from NOVA Southeastern University. It is with passion that Dr. Hunts states his goals for the Cardinal District. He will draw on his experience at Perry, as middle school principal, when the school fell from its Excellent rating to Effective. After recovering from the shock of not meeting the “grade” he immediately rallied his staff, set goals, a framework to achieve those goals, a plan to implement and measure the successes and worked through the summer to ensure failing would not happen again. The following year the school was back on track with an Excellent rating, and in subsequent years the school acquired its first award, Excellence with Distinction. Dr. Hunts states unequivocally, that he has a very clear plan for the Cardinal School District and believes his willingness to personally get to know each of his students and many in the community will aid in District success. “As superintendent, I believe that I have to play a crucial role in garnering community support for our school system,” Hunt says. “This will require constant communication with all stakeholders so that everyone is aware of the excellence that is taking place in our buildings. Cardinal is the process of building an Excellent school system with quality educational programs for its students. In fact, Cardinal Local Schools was rated Excellent by the Ohio Department of Education this year. Part of my role will be to connect the dots with our families, local business leaders and staff so we can all work collaboratively to be Excellent every day. As a school community we have to focus on designing and delivering engaging work, motivating students by strengthening our relationships with them, instilling the desire for continued learning throughout their lives and teaching and modeling what responsible behavior looks like so that students are ready to thrive in the world they will inherit.” Dr. Hunt, his wife Denise and their three children will continue to reside in Perry. He will be available throughout the summer by phone 440-632-0261 or e-mail scott.hunt@ cardinalschools.org.
The brains of adult men are about 10 percent larger than the brains of women. Men generally have a larger stature and more muscle mass than women, so their brains require more neurons. Scientists discovered than men’s and women’s brains function differently; when focused on a task, men tend to use only one side of their brain at a time, devoting all of their attention and concentration to the task at hand. Women tend to use both sides of the brain at the same time, making them more adept at “multi-tasking.”

Kent Students ~ Small Business On May 2, Thom Foley’s Exploring Business and Introduction to Business classes from Kent State at Geauga and Twinsburg attended a seminar about the Small Business Administration at Lakeland Community College. Congressman David Joyce sponsored the project along with the Small Business Administration and they invited the students, who are writing business plans for their class project. Speakers included representatives from several banks, Small Business Development Center, SCORE and other government agencies. They spoke about exporting, doing business with the government, women and minority programs along with the government’s role in business. Afterwards, the Congressman took the time to speak with the students individually. The students all praised the event as a worthwhile endeavor and were pleased with the new knowledge they acquired.

Approximately 15 million U.S.residents have their identities used fraudulently each year with financial losses totaling upwards of $50 billion. Identity theft may be the most frequent, costly and pervasive crime in the United States. Thieves steal wallets and purses, go dumpster diving for discarded mail, bank statements and other personal account information, and steal documents during home break-ins. Think about your old bank statements, tax records, paystubs, etc. Be sure to check with your financial advisor on how long your records should be kept and what should be securely destroyed as you plan to ‘lighten your load’.

Wild Leeks
I don’t know if I ever mentioned that I do all the cooking in the family and have for 29 years. Cooking is an adventure for me but not so much for my wife. I once said, “When my wife cooks, even the mice eat out.” It was amazingly quiet around the house for the next week and then it dawned on me that I was getting the silent treatment. A kitchen spat early in our marriage guaranteed me the job for life and I am not complaining. I love to cook! I can get into a cooking slump and repeat recipes more often then I should; my wife calls all my chicken recipes “Chicken Again” and that is when I try to add some variety. Recently I discovered ramps, also known as wild leeks. They grow wild in forests from Ontario Canada to South Carolina, but not west of the Mississippi. Most people think they are a weed and are very surprised to hear they are edible and most enjoyable in egg dishes, casseroles, salads and even on sandwiches. Ramp has a very garlicky, peppery flavor and you can use the leaves as well as the bulb. I use them on sandwiches in place of lettuce, add them to scrambled eggs and cut them thin into my salads. The season will be over soon and I will be looking forward to this spring delicacy again next year. Put some spice into your cooking with these delicious wild leeks!

The last Saturday of each month through September, beautiful Burton Square will be filled with crafters, artisans, antiques, collectables, farmers’ market and Amish bake sales.

Explore vendors’ wares and discover hidden treasures. June 29, celebrate children of all ages. Games, jump houses, and movies will be available to entertain the children while Mom and Dad shop the vendors’ merchandise. July 27, enjoy Burton in bloom. Garden and landscape vendors will be on hand to help with your home and garden needs. Aug. 24, Burton will become “uncorked”; please note, this is the fourth Saturday, not the last due to Labor Day Weekend. Sample local wines and purchase bottles from local wineries. Sept. 28, the bounty of the garden will showcase fresh fruits and vegetables. Local shops will have sales, events and activities each Saturday in the Country. Booths will be set up along Main Street and in the Square. Spend the day and dine in one of four restaurants. If you hate to leave, two lovely inns will have comfy accommodations for you. For details or information, call Sue at Coffee Corners, 440-834-0076.
Park Paving Planned Visitors to Beartown Lakes Reservation in Auburn and Bainbridge will encounter a repaving project at the park from now through June 4. Because asphalt is weather dependent, that schedule is subject to change. The paving will look similar to a paving project on a township or county road and although there will be some closures to entrances or areas of the park as needed, the contractor will work to maintain traffic flow. Due to minimal noise and the smell of asphalt, neighbors are also being notified by postcard. Call 440-286-9516.

{ community interest } Celebrate 50 years of GCPL The Middlefield, Chardon, and Geauga West Libraries joined to form the Geauga County Public Library system in 1963. This year marks 50 years of serving Geauga County. Over the years GCPL has grown to include Bainbridge (1963), Thompson Library Station (1979), Bookmobile (1986), and Newbury Library Station (1993). Commemorate 50 years by attending some exciting upcoming programs at the Middlefield Library. For adults, visit on Thursday, June 6 at 7 p.m. for “Music of the 1960s: The British Invasion!” Step back in time to the 1960s, the decade that Geauga County Public Library was founded. The British Invasion encompassed several musical groups and distinct stylistic elements. At the center of it all was the spectacular career of The Beatles. This presentation will include their music and relationship to other important Invasion and American artists. Presented by Gary Scott, Assistant Professor at Cuyahoga Community College. Attendees will also be treated to cake. Families won’t want to miss Banjo the Clown on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. when everyone’s favorite funny guy returns to Middlefield to celebrate 50 years of GCPL. All ages will be amazed by mystifying magic and thrilled by daring juggling. This program will kick off the Summer Reading Program. Both programs are supported by the Friends of the Library and proceeds from their Book Sale Room (open weekdays, noon to 3 p.m). Geauga County Public Library is pleased to be a part of the Middlefield community for the past 50 years and eager to serve the community for many years to come.

UHGMC Surgery for Arthritis Patients The Orthopaedic Center at University Hospitals (UH) Geauga Medical Center has long offered advanced treatment options for people suffering from arthritis, sports injuries and other conditions of the bones and joints. As of 2013, those options now feature orthopaedic foot and ankle care including Total Ankle Joint Replacement surgery. Patricia Gainey of Jefferson was one of the first Total Ankle Replacement patients at UH Geauga Medical Center. After living with osteoarthritis in her right ankle for years, she had the procedure on Jan. 2, 2013 and it changed her life. “Without warning I would get charley horse pain in my ankle which shot into my foot, so I was restricted in my ability to drive because it was my brake and gas pedal foot,” said Gainey, 60. “I had no improvement for 4 years, but since my replacement surgery the improvement has been amazing. I can walk on uneven ground now. I can drive. The charley horses are gone. I even rode a bike for the first time in years.” John E. Feighan, MD, orthopaedic surgeon and fellowship-trained foot and ankle specialist, joined UH Geauga Medical Center in December to expand the orthopaedic team’s range of expertise. “In degenerative joint disease cases, Total Ankle Replacement is an option for many

patients,” says Feighan. “The procedure is similar to the hip and knee replacements we offer at UH Geauga Medical Center. It enables a patient to regain mobility in the foot and reduce or eliminate chronic pain.” To learn more about these new services, or to find out if Total Ankle Joint Replacement is an option for you, call 440285-7757.

{ health } General Health Checks-ups. Is Ignorance Bliss? By Dr. David Fakadej
Fast Delivery • Quality Materials • Competitive Prices SAND & GRAVEL
Since 1954 • 59 Years of Service
Whenever people hear of a professional athlete who dropped dead on the field with a massive coronary event, the question “How is this possible?” arises. With certainty, all athletes have at least one routine physical exam every 2 years. How is this sudden unexplained death possible? The answer, not to sound trite: because it is! MedPage Today Oct. 16, 2012: An analysis of 16 clinical trials totaling 183,000 patients with an average 9-year follow-up evaluating the risk of death for people with regular general health checkups versus those who had no checkup. The incidence of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer was essentially equal. Some studies showed an increase of diagnoses of hypertension, high cholesterol and certain chronic diseases. However, general health checks did not reduce morbidity or mortality, nor for cardiovascular or cancer cases, although the number of new diagnoses increased. In my words, general check-ups find more illness rather than improve the odds of better health, which increases drug use and yet people died the same with or without drugs, with or without checkups. Of course, this depends on how you define health care (see my last Middlefield Post article, May 8). They stated, “With the large number of participants and deaths included, the long follow-up periods used, and considering that cardiovascular and cancer mortality were not reduced, general health checks are unlikely to be beneficial” (emphasis added). General health checkups, touted as a component of routine health care, includes increasingly scrutinized tests such as mammography and PSA tests, which the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends against. Especially when considering the potential harms of broadly applied screening tests that expose patients to unnecessary procedures and treatments with potentially harmful effects and substantially increasing the cost of healthcare with no change in outcome. ‘Routine preventative health care is a conundrum of cognitive dissonance requiring drugs to keep one from thinking about the confusion. To me preventative care means finding ways to prevent illness. The actual practice of preventative care is actually to find illness; it is detective ‘care’ that has nothing to do with preventing
anything, except perhaps for death, which will happen anyway. The conclusion of a new study finds that despite spending more on healthcare, Americans die sooner and experience more illness than people in other high-income countries. If you want preventative health care, improve the diet, exercise more, improve sanitation, improve the environment and improve psychology - mental/emotional and spiritual relationships. Going to a doctor for a ‘checkup’ to see if you have a disease yet is not preventive. Detective illness care is more harmful and more expensive. As I understand, health care is the number one cause of bankruptcy. Another study (Spine: 4/15/13 - Volume 38 - Issue 8 - p 627–634) suggests that Chiropractic in conjunction with Standard Medical Care offers a significant advantage for decreasing pain and improving physical functioning when compared with standard care alone (for men and women age 18 to 35 with acute low back pain (LBP). LBP is common, costly and a significant cause of long-term sick leave and work loss. Yet research shows that chiropractic in the healthcare still does not exist. How is this possible? Chiropractic was around for over 100 years. Drugs and surgery are standard care and research shows that chiropractic offers significant advantage. I hear people say that they don’t believe in chiropractic. Believe? I don’t believe in drugs or surgery, but I will use them if necessary without hesitation. Belief and health do not mix. Belief is the reason that after 100 years, preventive health care resists chiropractors and insists upon regular health checks to get drugs for blood pressure, cholesterol, and depression though it will do nothing for morbidly or mortality. Don’t believe me; read the research. Dr. David Fakadej, DC, LMT, is the proprietor at Journey Health Care & Chiropractic, 17652 Munn Road, Auburn Township.

{ faith } A Unique Friendship
Preplanning Services Available Direct Cremation $1295
By Thad Bergmeier It has been several months since I returned from a trip to Thailand and Cambodia. There are several memories of that trip that I will never forget. One of them was meeting a new friend, named Sareth Duong. He is the national leader in Cambodia for Cadence International, which means it is his job to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Cambodian Armed Forces. He is a ve r y u n i q u e l y gifted man. Let me tell you a little about him. When he was a child, his family was taken prisoner and separated from each other by the K hmer R ouge. If you want to be humbled, read about this movement of communism led by Pol Pot. He spent days, weeks, and m o nt h s l i v i n g out in the rice Sareth Duong, a national fields. Eventually, Cadence International, he survived, along with most of his family. Not long after, he started school. It was in college as a 23-year -old that someone told him about Jesus Christ being a savior. Meeting Jesus would change his life forever. My friend is very kind and gracious. And he is also bold with the gospel. He stands for the truth of Jesus and will not fold under the pressure of persecution. At the end of 2012, he was arrested on charges of conspiracy, which would later prove to be false. The men who made the accusations against him did not like the fact that he preached Jesus to their village. After 30 days in a 12 foot x 12 feet room, with 24 other prisoners, he was released. It was during this imprisonment that
his story was made known by one of the leading Senators in Cambodia. After being released, Sareth was invited by this Senator to meet with him in the capital. This leading Senator, who is in charge of religion in the nation, asked Sareth to be his personal assistant. With this new role, Sareth was put in charge of all protestant ministries in the nation of Cambodia. He went from prison to national leader in days. This is nothing short of God’s hand being on his life. It seems unlikely that an American man would meet a Cambodian m a n a n d immediately be friends. Yet there is something that connects us. Better yet, Someone that connects us. We can immediately be friends because we leader in Cambodia for w o r s h i p t h e same Savior. The same Spirit is in us. We are both Christians. Since returning, I have had the opportunity to email and chat with him a few times. I pray for him and his leadership in the nation of Cambodia. Maybe you would as well. If you ever want to find out more information about him or his ministry, do not hesitate to contact me at our church. I would love to tell more stories about my new friend.
