Kaitlyn Sirna, manager of the Middlefield Farmers Market.

he Village of Middlefield is launching a unique Farmers Market that offers Amish produce, fresh baked goods, jams and jellies, maple syrup, local produce, leather crafts and other area products beginning Saturday, July 6 from 9 a.m. to noon and continuing each Saturday through Sept. 28 at Mineral Lake Park on Sperry Lane in Middlefield. Parking will be available on Grove Street during the Sperry Lane construction. Admission is free, and there will be plenty of giveaways, tastings, cooking demonstrations and family activities. Kaitlyn Sirna will manage this entire event. She is a local face, a graduate of Kenston High School, who participated in The Great Geauga County Fair as an active member of the 4-H Community throughout her childhood. Upon graduating, she packed up and attended

school in Chicago. It was not until she was in the city, which was a big difference from the farm she grew up on in Auburn, that she realized how much respect she had for her rural roots. Kaitlyn says, “I changed my reading lists to include Buddhist philosophy and writings about Nature from the Romanticism movement.” Upon reading more, learning more, and continually walking on concrete, she decided to kick off her shoes and get involved with Urban Farmers Organization. Kaitlyn took advantage of Chicago’s great array of green space and parks. Continued on page 2

Middlefield Farmers Market Continued from Page 1 She enjoyed reading under trees amid the contemporary backdrop of Chicago, while obtaining her Bachelors of Arts from DePaul University in English Literature with a minor in Philosophy. She came home summers to work farmers’ markets and run her Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Combining her Ohio knowledge and classes at DePaul, she began to understand the importance of food justice and activism and it is because of this that she is a stout supporter of all things ‘local’. She encourages friends and strangers to get to know their farmers and buy things on an intimate level, emphasizing the importance of community in a commerce relationship. She’s excited to be back in Geauga County, with her feet on grass rather than concrete, and she hopes to bring a fresh perspective to a much larger environmentally concerned movement. Products available at the farmers market will include seasonal vegetables and berries, fresh eggs, honey, fresh baked goods, cheese, organic lettuce, maple cotton candy, beef jerky and more. University Hospital Geauga Medical Center will also offer a different free health screening each week. “Seasonal produce will vary from week to week,” says Ben Garlich, Mayor of Middlefield. “Special events are planned for each Saturday, such as chef

Middlefield’s one-time movie theater, the MU-MAC was located where the Sparrow Christian Bookstore and the Village Barber are currently. Ken Mumaw and his father-in-law, Dr. G. W. McIlroy built the theater in the late 1940s. It lasted about 15 years until 1962 when it was purchased by Clarence Lorson and his wife Maude. They renovated the building and moved her business, Middlefield 5 & 10, to this location.

The Cardinal Thinkers After a great deal of background information through Social Studies and Art class, sixth-grade students at Cardinal Middle School in Middlefield traveled to University Circle to experience art first hand. From Monet’s “Water Lilies” to Andy Warhol’s “Marilyn”. One hundred students got a glimpse of the many different techniques of both modern and classic artists. Students enjoyed the Collections Wall which is an interactive exhibit using touch screens as well as the Focus Gallery which displays featured artwork. As part of their visit, teachers and students used the ARTLENS app for iPad to learn about the artwork and find their way around. Students shared their favorites, among them the painting of Anne Frank, the renaissance painters, the impressionists and of course the armor room. Students admired the artwork with enthusiasm and respect. It was an exciting opportunity which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Posing with Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker” are Cardinal Middle School sixth-grade students on their recent trip to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

How We Talk With Our Children By Gary Lee Cox The way we talk to our kids has a huge impact on their learning and ability to listen to us. More importantly, it is how we talk with our children and what they learn from us. We are constantly modeling to our kids how to act and behave in the way we talk with them. The way we speak to them and those around us is showing them how we want them to speak back to us. Research has found that there are generally three different ways that adults and parents communicate with their kids. The first one is in an aggressive way. These adults yell a lot, put their kids down and use attacking words. Their children respond in many different ways, mainly by acting out a lot more, feeling fearful, yelling back and ignoring constant orders. The second form of communication commonly seen is a passive form. These parents mutter soft, cautious words and tones to their kids finding that their children ignore them. Lastly, the third way that we adults can communicate with our kids is in a mature way. This has been found to be by far the most effective way to communicate with kids at all age levels. A mature way is an assertive way of communicating, it is firm, consistent, clear, positive, warm and confident. Communicating with kids in an adult mature way is a real skill. Positive and kind words give your child more confidence, makes them feel happier, helps them behave better, encourages them to try hard and achieve success. They learn to imitate you and deliver the same respect and praise to others. When you want your kids to cooperate with you, it is far easier if they can understand why they need them to do something and how it is to their advantage to do so. Good manners at home or anywhere shouldn’t be optional. If you model good manners to your children and everyone else, they will see that good manners is

expected and displayed on a consistent level. Start teaching your children to say the basics like “please” and “thank you” before they can talk. When asking your child to do something, you will receive a greater response by explaining what you want in terms of thoughts and feelings by sending “I messages”. This is far more effective than using orders or sending “you messages”. If your child is fully engrossed with something or an activity and it is time to move on or leave. Give them some advance warning so they get used to the idea. For example “George, it is nearly time to go. Start picking up your toys please”. Don’t sweat the small stuff. By all means, enforce your serious rules firmly, but try not to sweat the small stuff. Often times kids will tune out from listening if they tend to be lectured over little things a lot. When you show your kids that you accept and love them just the way they are despite their differences, they will be more likely to share their feelings and problems with you. They will know that as they grow and change, you will be there for them no matter what. We do not have to accept inappropriate behavior such as violence or teasing. We can however accept and love our kids as they are by their character, personality and individual interests. Make conversation a priority with your kids. Open and comfortable communication with your kids develops confidence, selfesteem, good relationships with others, cooperation and warm relationships with you. Take the time and effort to foster your relationship and communication skills by talking with your kids as much as you can. Remember that talking with kids is a twoway street. Talk with them and then hear what they have to say. Listening is just as important as talking. Great Day Childcare Learning Center is located at 14810 Madison Road (Route 528) in Middlefield (44062).

Local Student Wins Scholarships Geauga Credit Union is pleased to announce that local student, Daniel McIlroy, has won $5,500 in scholarships from the Northeast Chapter of the Ohio Credit Union League and the Ohio Credit Union Foundation. Daniel, a senior at NDCL, received a $2,500 scholarship from the Northeast Chapter of the Ohio Credit Union League by writing a creative essay answering the question: “In our current economic climate, what should credit unions do to make a difference in their communities?” In his essay, Daniel wrote about going back in time and asking Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton and Martin Luther King, Jr. the above question. Daniel’s winning entry was forwarded on to the state level where the Ohio Credit Union Foundation chose his essay as one of five winners in the state to receive a $3,000 scholarship. Daniel, the oldest of eight children of Robert and Susan McIlroy will attend Gannon University and major in Sports and Exercise Science. He is very involved in his church and many community service organizations. He volunteers at the Cleveland Clinic Sports Rehabilitation Center and hopes someday to work with a professional athletic team. Daniel’s parents are proud of his accomplishments and thankful for the scholarship opportunities. Being the oldest of eight children, the scholarships are vital to Daniel going to college and also show his younger siblings what they can accomplish. “The board members and I were pleasantly surprised when Daniel was introduced at the local chapter meeting and likewise impressed by his essay. Our hats off to Daniel,” said Lisa Briggs, CEO. Geauga Credit Union, Inc. is a full service Credit Union offering deposit and lending products to meet almost every need.

The graduating Geauga County Leadership class of 2013

Leadership Geauga Class of 2013 By Rachel Hunziker Leadership Geauga County is an organization where the purpose is to identify current and future leaders from various backgrounds and walks of life in Geauga County. The program is designed to develop leaders through first-hand educational experiences. The Leadership Geauga Class of 2013 convened in September 2012. Right off the bat, the class members connected and became close friends. It’s been a whirlwind of a year. The class finished up on June 7 with a graduation ceremony where the class reflected and shared their experiences of the previous year. “A sincere and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bob Faehnle and Laura Holcomb for the support and dedication they provided to the Leadership Geauga Class of 2013. Their love and commitment to the Geauga County Community goes above and beyond and provided us with a truly amazing and memorable experience. Thank you for all you do.” ~ Laura Marsic “To two wonderful people who love the people and places of Geauga County, bodacious Dr. Bob Faehnle and lovely Laura Holcomb, a hundred million thanks for getting us together and cheering us on in unique ways so that we, too, have grown to love the good people and places of Geauga County. Leadership Geauga is the Name! Dr. Bob and Laura bring it Fame! I’ll stop right here.” ~ Lisa Novak, SND “My heart is filled with thanksgiving for being part of the graduating class of 2013. Dr. Bob, you definitely are living your purpose that is at hand, because you are a wonderful leader for Leadership! The dedication and love you put into all that this year has become is truly a gift to our class. Thank you! “Laura, your tender heart and love

that you have for Leadership never goes unnoticed. I started the year with you being a stranger, and ended calling you friend. Thank you for all of your support and for keeping Dr. Bob where he needed to be. Your presence will most definitely be missed! I wish you the best of luck with your agency. I am blessed to be working with you. Cheers to you my friend!” ~ Cathi Mezzopera “Thank you for showing me the vastness of potential and possibility in Geauga County.

Thank you for this valuable and worthwhile experience!” ~ Jennell Dahlhausen Laura Christian brought it home and put it into perspective for all involved, this was a great lesson for anyone ending a chapter in life and moving on to the next. “Last night was a wonderful way to summarize (not finalize) a great experience! I hope we will have lovey-dovey reunions! You don’t have to be shopping to stop in the shop to say hello. Company is always welcome. Thank you to each of you.” ~ Love, Laura Although the Leadership Geauga Class of 2013 year has ended, it is clear that this class of 31 dynamic leaders will continue to stay close, stay connected and continue to provide leadership in the community.

When on the Course, Carry a Short Memory

By Ryan Coleman

In the game of golf, it is extremely important to keep a level head throughout the round. I’m not talking swing mechanics either. The mental game in golf, or any sport, is a constant challenge from the average Joes to the elite pros. The ability to maintain a high level of focus in the mind is crucial when working to improve one’s score. Hit a bad shot? Oh, well. There’s nothing you can do about it, because guess what, it’s done and over with. The only shot that matters is the next one. It’s natural as a human to become frustrated when things aren’t going well. We don’t all show it the same, but some are more affected by negativity than others. When I first started playing competitive golf at the age of 12, I had a hard time keeping my emotions in check. There were several times when I made a complete fool of myself, whether it was shouting in anger or slamming a club. I would embarrass my own parents, who sacrificed time out of their days to go watch their son play. Bottom line: rarely does throwing a fit help fix your slice. Whenever I’m playing a serious round of golf, I try my best to forget about the shot I just hit. It doesn’t matter if I hooked it, sliced it, crushed it down the middle or stuck it close to the pin. Great, good, bad or ugly, I play with a short memory. You should, too. Ryan Coleman is the director of golf at Grandview Golf Club, 13404 Old State Road in Middlefield (44062)440-834-1824. He has been playing golf for 16 years and enjoys watching and playing sports, listening to music and hanging out with family and friends. He graduated from Berkshire High School in 2006, then went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in Communications from John Carroll University in 2011.

{ community interest } Cardinal School Safety

By Kathy McClure, president MCC The Cardinal Safety Committee is acting today to put safety measures in place in the four local school buildings. The committee, comprised of Police chief, Arnold Stanko; Fire chief, Bill Reed; James Howard, Matt Galemo, Mayor Ben Garlich, Wendy Anderson, Scott Hunt, Scott Klein, Ben Reed, Kathy McClure, Jim Byler, established a goal: to be responsive to our local community and our personal and professional responsibility by employing protection mechanisms, as feasible, to keep our Cardinal School Children safe while in the school’s care. The committee places a high priority on safety features that can be provided physically to make all school buildings safer. Buses are included in the care umbrella. In 2012, bus monitoring cameras were requested by school administration, funded by the Middlefield Chamber of Commerce and placed in Cardinal buses. Members of this safety coalition resolved to research, recommend and act in accordance with what could be done to add security, realizing there is virtually nothing that can be done to PREVENT a tragedy. Emergency Management Plans typically cover 1) Mitigation, 2) Preparedness, 3) Response and 4) Recovery. In public meetings (there were three, averaging attendance of about 40-60 people, including committee and administration) much was discussed including: arm teachers (not lawful within current rules); position the police substation inside a school building; hire retired military or law enforcement to patrol all buildings and be armed – referred to as “SRO” – security resource officer (approx cost $40-$70,000/year for one officer); create a better and more secure mechanism for allowing entry to only authorized and identified individuals to school buildings; more securely limit unauthorized access at sporting events (propped open doors, etc); exercise current and updated evacuation practices, including drills with and without emergency personnel; qualify the engagement of faculty to ensure their full participation and understanding of critical nature of emergency preparedness; employ the practices of NIMS (National Incident Management System); at the urging of the Sherriff’s office, the ALICE program (ALICE stands for Alert-Lockdown-InformCounter-Evacuate) should not ideally be employed; update the Falcon System of locks with Master Key entry system securely available to First Responders in the event of an emergency; not fall prey to the making a perpetrator out to be a hero in the eyes of

Middlefield Village Update

By Mayor Ben Garlich

We are in the process of reviewing proposals for a Middlefield V i l l a g e Comprehensive Plan. Utilizing the input of local talented people, we will be able to produce a plan that will set the flavor of our future development as well as create goals for existing areas that need improvement. I look forward to a comprehensive document that will set the stage and give us the footprint we need to set an action plan with goals and completion dates. We felt the timing was appropriate as we’ve recently expanded our Village boundaries, have some new projects in the works and continue to aggressively go after new investment. We will solicit input after the contract is awarded. In the month of June, we are producing a video that touts the attributes of our Village. The focus will be all encompassing, in that it will give illustration to the positives for residing here as well as locating a commercial or industrial business in our

Village. We are fortunate to have local business leaders who will represent each of these aspects and are willing to participate and assist in helping us market this Village. I look forward to the final result and want to personally thank those participating individuals for sacrificing their time to assist us with telling the story of what Middlefield Village has to offer. Free community garden plots are still available at George Knox Park on Woodsong behind the Tractor Supply plaza. Water is available and if you have a desire to grow your own vegetables, fruit or herbs and don’t have the space at your residence, I encourage you to call Village Hall, 440-6325248, to reserve a plot. The Middlefield Farmers Market will begin July 6 at Mineral Lake Park. University Hospitals has joined forces with us along with many quality vendors to create a great family experience with activities for all ages. We hope to draw from a large demographic and I can guarantee the quality of all vendors. You will not be disappointed with the many activities or any product you purchase. I hope you will take advantage of this unique experience. Visit www. middlefieldohio.com. Be involved, shop local.

Prizes will be awarded for the “I caught a bass” contest and the “Kids Casting” contest. In addition each child who catches a fish at the derby ... any fish, any size, can enter the “I Caught A Fish” drawing to win a special prize at the end of the derby.

Firehouse from the

By Chief Bill Reed

SCHOOLS OUT! Keep a watchful eye out for our children. Keep a watchful eye out for motorcyclists! Many of the Department’s most frequent calls are what we refer to as MVA’s, aka motor vehicle accidents. Our firefighters train endlessly on removing patients from all manner of twisted steel, metal, plastic and fiberglass thanks to generous citizens and many donated wrecked vehicles and from Middlefield area business Jeff’s Towing. Tow truck operator Darrell Moody of Jeff’s Towing has trained in many specialty rescue trainings alongside Middlefield and other area firefighters. Specifically, the renowned “Big Rig Rescue” training, instructed by well-known rescue instructor Billy Leach. Middlefield Fire has many state of the art hydraulic rescue tools, including, Holmatro and TNT Tools with rams, cutters, spreaders, combination spreader/cutters and a variety of hand tools and accessories. We also have a Rescue Jacks vehicle shoring system. Care is always practiced to protect our patients from glass, flammable liquids and all other hazards. Often a paramedic or EMT are in the vehicle as we attempt to extricate expeditiously, yet carefully from the twisted wreck. A goal used to be to get the patient to definitive care within the “Golden Hour”. As techniques improve and we train ever so intensely, we are raising the bar to have the patient packaged and ready for the advanced patient care expertise of the air medical transport personnel. Middlefield residents are indeed fortunate to have the University MedEvac aircraft at our own Geauga County Airport and Metro Lifeflight within close proximity as an available resource. There are certain protocols that indicate the need to fly a patient. We understand the expense and inconvenience but the benefit always out weighs the inconvenience. It is often the difference between survival and losing a patient. Sometimes, citizens become disgruntled at the delay in opening highways in the event of an MVA. In addition to the task of extricating our patients, we have the responsibility to protect our rescuers, law enforcement officers and tow truck operators. We take our responsibility of protecting our public safety forces and patients and even bystanders very seriously. Attempts to ignore accident scene protective measurements are dealt with often with law enforcement agencies and they also take this responsibility seriously. So please be patient and understanding with us. It may be your friend or loved one we are attempting to save. Thanks for your support; it’s a pleasure to serve you.

behind the Be Helmet Smart

Children age 14 and under are very vulnerable to head injury while riding their bicycles. This remains true regardless of how responsible and careful your children are while riding. Helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of a life-long brain and head injury by 85 percent. Nationally, AAA reports that only a small percent of all kids wear bike helmets. Our police department and community are proud to participate in the Helmet Safety campaign. Through it, we are encouraging all parents to take an active role in their children’s safety by encouraging them to wear bike helmets at all times while riding. Did you know that helmets that meet ASTM shatter-resistant impact standards, helmets that can save your child’s life, can be purchased for as little as $10? This year, officers from our department and other area police departments will issue a Safety Citation when they witness a bicyclist wearing a safety helmet. The citation can be redeemed at the Middlefield Dairy Queen for a free ice cream cone. The bearer of the citation is also enteredinto a drawing where the winner will ride off on a bicycle courtesy of AAA. We have information available on how parents can encourage their children to make it a habit to wear a bicycle helmet every time they ride. The materials include “Parent-Child Contract/Tips for Parents” and information on safety helmet use. Be sure to sign the ParentChild Contract and discuss it thoroughly with your children. If you have any questions, please contact our department at 440-632-5224 or AAA at 800-845-0375. Remember, your child’s bicycle is a vehicle not a toy. Use of helmets can prevent a tragic life-long injury. Only through your active involvement will your children form the helmet habit every time they ride their bicycles. It is very important that you set an example for your children by always properly wearing a helmet whenever you are riding a bike, too. There is no better way to show your love for your children than to protect them from serious injury than by having them wear a helmet every time they ride.

{ community interest } How Sweet They Are -- Ohio Strawberries

Troy Homecoming Community Festival

The first red ripe strawberries have appeared in their sweet splendor, a sure sign that summer has officially arrived in northeast Ohio. It’s been a few years since the Grovers started picking strawberries by June 10. Last year they were 2 weeks early; this year they are right on target. The week of June 17 will be a prime week for picking and the berries should peak around June 22. The Grovers had a rough start this spring. The middle of May brought frosts and if a patch experiences a hard frost it could burn up to 35 percent of the crop. Ridgeview Farm uses overhead water irrigation so the frost will not “settle in” on the berries and burn the flowers. “Steve was up several nights to protect the strawberry flowers,” Sharon Grover stated. “But the sleepless nights were worth it.” Fields are open Monday thru Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon until the fields are picked out. Farmer Steve encourages customers to call ahead to get the picking forecast. Customers can also buy pre-picked berries at the farm market Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. “We pick our strawberries at the peak of sweetness and get them to customers the same day,” explained Steve Grover. The Grovers encourage people to bring their children along to help pick since children are the farm’s future customers. For information, visit Ridgeview Farm’s Web site, Ridgeviewfarmtours.com or call 440693-4000. The farm is located on top of “Mespo Hill” on Route 87 in Mesopotamia, 3.5 miles east of Middlefield.

Troy Homecoming is a free community festival held at the Troy Community Center, 13950 Main Market Road in Burton ( 44021) on August 9 to 11.

Vendors, sponsors and volunteers are needed. To participate or for more information contact Donna Matzek at donnamatzek@ yahoo.com, 440-227-1168 or visit www.TroyHomecoming.org. Presale raffle tickets are available. First prize is a side of beef, second prize is a Weber gas grill, third prize is “Best of Geauga County Basket” that includes donations from various establishments.

{ health } Anything Can Cause Anything By Dr. Dave Fakadej Occasionally a patient will ask me what I think about vaccinations. Medical doctors tend to have an opinion about a chiropractor’s opinion without asking first. I know what the patient is asking, I know what the doctor is thinking, and I know nobody will enjoy my response. As to my food sensitivity symptoms compared to several patients’ symptoms, I conclude: one single food may cause 10 different symptoms in 10 different people, and one single symptom in 10 different people may come from 10 different sources. This applies globally. A broken bone can result from a baseball bat, car accident, osteoporosis, cancer, overexertion, slipping and falling on ice, and more. Does this mean cancer causes bone fractures? No. Cancer can cause several types of systemic or organ problems that may or may not involve bone fractures. Indeed, anything can cause anything. For every bit of research ‘proving’ something, other research will show the opposite. The confounding nature of what causes what and the difficulty interpreting research results from the fact that the human body is the most complicated chemical processing system in the universe. The expression of DNA evades research and prophecy. There is a debate on a link between vaccination and autism. My experience brings me to ponder another cause, or ten. The British Medical Journal (April 19, 2013) printed a study finding inutero exposure to anti-depressant drugs associated with an increased risk of autism. The research does not clearly indicate if the association is from the drug itself or from maternal depression itself. JAMA (April 24, 2013) printed a study that women taking valproate (used to treat epilepsy, anorexia, panic attack, anxiety, PTSD, migraine, bipolar disorder, mania, and acute stress reactions) during pregnancy appears to increase the risk of autism. Another study looked at antibiotic use during pregnancy (Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine 2009). Conclusion: “Reassuringly,” penicillins, erythromycins, and cephalosporins did not associate with birth defects. However, sulfonamides and nitrofurantoins associated with several

birth anomalies, including heart defects, vascular defects, throat deformity, limb deficiency, stomach hernias, lack of or maldevelopment of the eyes, and cleft lip or palate. It is not uncommon for some infants to have bad reactions to mother’s breast milk. Rather than evaluating what mother is eating and drinking or drugging, which passes into breast milk, parents use milk ‘substitutes’ to help the infant. I wonder how the substitutes incorporate mother’s antibodies. Perhaps that is why the newest recommendations state mother’s milk is best and there is no appropriate substitute. Agent Orange, DDT, pharmaceutical (known side effects), bromine fire retardant, asbestos, mercury, lead, and more, how many chemicals are in the food sold at the grocer? There is a “formula” for strawberry flavoring that includes 38 chemicals, none with the word strawberry. What is my opinion on vaccinations? I don’t have kids. I don’t have reason to care. Perhaps my lack of concern allows an objectivity others don’t maintain. Perhaps one can cause autism, perhaps drugs, perhaps other chemicals, perhaps DNA, perhaps poor research causes autism. It is unlikely that only one thing causes any disease? Dr. David Fakadej, DC, LMT, is the proprietor at Journey Health Care & Chiropractic, 17652 Munn Road, Auburn Township.

pathways to On a Journey with Jesus By Roger Kruse

I remember well my departure for India in May of 1980. As a single man of 28, I was launching into a new chapter of life. My first 6 months there were very challenging: extreme heat, spicy food, learning the Tamil language, along with the in- yourface contrast of Indian life and culture. But I always sensed that I was where I was supposed to be. Little did I know that God’s plan would include a meeting with a young woman from New Zealand, named Glenda Keats. It was a lesson I have never forgotten. Pursue God’s will obediently, and He will weave His loving plan and purpose into your life. My desire for a wife came to fruition when I simply walked down the path that God was guiding me to take. He had prepared the way. Often we are tempted to try to make things happen according to what we think we need, just when we want it. The Bible, however, teaches us that when we “take delight in the Lord, he will give us the desires of our heart”. Jesus added, that we should “seek first the kingdom of God” (his reign in our hearts) and the everyday concerns of life will be met. Have you learned that lesson for yourself? What are you striving to do or realize in your own journey? Why not invite God to sovereignly direct your path as you fully trust in him. In February/March of this year Glenda joined me for yet another ministry adventure to India. Each day was an opportunity for divine discovery. One day we visited a couple, Anil & Sunita, who had taken a bank loan to build a second story room that would be used by a “house church” that meets weekly in their home. They were convinced that any financial

sacrifice was simply a necessary part of doing God’s will. The joy written across their faces told me that they really viewed this construction project as a privilege to invest in God’s outreach of love. Worship services will begin in this “upper room” next month. Another person we met was Ujjwal. His story left us feeling a sense of wonder at God’s marvelous ways. He was a poor farmer tending his field one typical hot afternoon when he met our co-worker named Patra. He challenged Ujjwal to trust Jesus to help meet the needs of his extended family of eight. The seed of faith was planted deeply into Ujjwal’s heart. He began a journey of trusting God by inviting Christ to demonstrate his Lordship over every concern. Eventually, Ujjwal found himself sharing with others the story of his new life. One day a man, who opposed Ujjwal set fire to his home. In desperation, Ujjwal’s son called his father who was away sharing his faith in another village. Ujjwal immediately prayed to his heavenly Father. Later his son told him that a sudden rainstorm had effectively doused the flames, and saved the house. Since then, the perpetrator has acknowledged his guilt, asked forgiveness, and joined the house church now meeting in that village! What steps is the Lord asking you to take as you journey with Jesus? Why not dare to obey and discover for yourself the joy of a life guided by God. Roger Kruse serves with One Mission Society as an International Shepherd/Trainer to South East Asia. He, his wife Glenda and family love the rural lifestyle of the Middlefield area.

“Beautiful Trixie”

“Mr. Bibbs”

Meet Trixie, a two-year-old, beautiful black cat that I have been fostering. Trixie gave birth to two adorable kittens, and they have found their forever home “together”. Now, it is time for Trixie to have a forever home of her own. Trixie is a sweetheart and makes a cute chirp/purr sound, especially when talking with her kittens. She is outgoing and will make a great companion cat for her new family. Trixie is spayed, vaccinated, and has tested negative for leukemia/FIV. To meet Trixie, please call Kathy Deptola Animal Rescue, 440-862-0610, deptola.kathy@gmail.com.

Meet Mr. Bibbs, a handsome, gray tiger with white bib markings. This extremely affectionate cat was rescued after having been abandoned outdoors. Bibbs is huggable and lovable, and has personality plus! He is one and a half years old, is neutered, vaccinated and has tested negative for leukemia/FIV. If you’re looking for a lover boy that loves attention, then you have to meet Mr. Bibbs. Please contact Kathy Deptola Animal Rescue, 440-862-0610 deptola. kathy@gmail.com.
