a Free Community Festival

m

any Troy Township residents have fond memories of parades on Route 422, tractor pulls and playful contests at Troy Homecomings past. This homecoming is not a high school dance (though there is a Contra Dance on Saturday night and live music throughout the weekend). Rather, it is a century-old, free, community festival held annually in southern Geauga County. According to local historians, Troy Homecoming started in 1911 when the township celebrated its 100th birthday. Over the course of time, interest and woman power fizzled out to the point of Troy Homecoming extinction.

Three years ago, when Troy Township was preparing to celebrate its bicentennial, locals rekindled this endeared tradition.

Approaching its third anniversary of revival, Troy Homecoming will be held Aug. 9 through 11, 2013 at the Troy Community Center (13950 Main Market Road in Welshfield). A team of community oriented people, businesses and organizations have joined forces to provide this free, family-friendly event. There are plenty of activities and entertainment for all ages to enjoy.

Do not miss the very funny Mr. Best Legs Contest on Friday night. There are

The first Troy Homecoming in 1911. This is in front of the house, west of the gas station on 422 in Troy. Post Photo/Martha C. Yoder Horseshoe and Cornhole competitions on Saturday. Jungle Terry will excite the youngsters Saturday morning. Civil War encampment and demonstrations will be present throughout the weekend. If you are a runner, you will want to participate in the 5K Road Apple Run, early Sunday morning.

There is so much going on

throughout the weekend. For instance, the Troy Township Volunteer Fire Department will offer health and wellness checks (blood pressure, glucose, etc.). The fire department will demonstrate some of their skills and give spectators opportunity for hands-on experiences. Join your neighbors in Sunday’s home-cooked Continued on page 2

Troy Homecoming

Continued from Page 1

about the plan to add safety features to the local school buildings to make the school safer from intruders and the kinds of dangers we hear about in today’s news. These safety features include labeling all doors and windows in our buildings using acceptable national standards, installing consistent locking devices on the inside and outside of all classroom doors, installing panic buttons in each classroom, and installing new recording cameras at entrances.

Safety comes at a price and this price totals over $70,000. Part of these funds will come from money in the budget and the remainder needs to come from the community – both businesses and residents. This is where the Middlefield Chamber of Commerce stepped up. On Aug. 23, the Chamber will hold a golf outing at Grandview Golf Course with all the proceeds going to the Safety Program. But the Cardinal Safety Committee hopes that our business community and residents will be inspired to invest in the safety of our schools with additional donations.

Contact any Chamber member for tickets or Golf Outing registration. To donate to this worthy cause, make checks payable to Cardinal Local Schools, denoted for Safety Program and take them directly to Merry Lou Knuckles or Cindy Sague at the Board of Education office, 15982 E. High St. (Route 87) in Middlefield or mail to P.O. Box 188, Middlefield, OH 44062. For information, contact the Chamber at 440-632-5705 or Kathy McClure at 440-632-9800. Thank you to the businesses who stepped up with donations and thank you to Tom Wiant for his initiative.

This week’s pictures feature views of Middlefield Village in the good old days before paved streets, both taken before 1915, the year the main streets were paved. This is a view looking east from in front of CVS. Another dirt street with a major mud puddle right in the middle. At this time, the Cleveland & Electric Railway Company was responsible for fixing the water problem because their tracks were in the roadway. They were put on notice by Village council but as you can see, they were not eager to respond. The first building on the extreme right is the old Rupe Hotel and the building on the extreme left is the H. B. Caslow Drug Store. Middlefield even had it’s own Gazebo Bandstand.

Serving Geauga and surrounding counties since 1960 With the Route 87 paving project nearly completion, I thought it might be interesting to see what the street looked like prior to the first paving. Here is a view looking toward the southwest from the corner of North Thompson and East High Street. The four houses in the picture are still used as residences today. The home closest to the Town Hall was at that time a wooden structure and later was bricked to look like it does today. Can you imagine how difficult and dirty it was to travel the streets of Middlefield prior to 1915?

Fall League Openings

“Family Fun Center”

8311 Windham St., Garrettsville

By Dr. Scott J. Hunt, superintendent

Shortly after this article posts I will officially begin my tenure as superintendent.

I have spent a great deal of the summer learning about the district, meeting with school and community people, hiring staff and preparing for the 2013-2014 school year opening. I am truly excited to be part of a new era in the Cardinal Schools community.

In the short time that I have been on board, it has become crystal clear that there is great pride in the teachers and staff members that I have met with. This pride is also evident in the community. I have had the opportunity to speak with community members from the Geauga Growth Partnership, Mayor Ben Garlich, Police Chief Arnold Stanko, Missy Hatch as well as other business owners. There is a definite “community” theme in the conversations that I have had. This is an exciting time for the schools and for the community.

The term “community” can be defined as a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government and often have a common cultural and historical heritage. From a school perspective, I would also add that to survive in the 21st Century a community also has to have a common mission and vision for sustainability. Thinking about sustainability requires looking at the world

from a new perspective. By encouraging a new way of thinking, we can begin to change our behavior and develop new habits that can help us improve our community and schools. It will also allow us to maintain a high quality of life while maintaining and enhancing the natural environment on which our lives depend. In addition, it is important to build community capital. Although we tend to think of money or equipment when someone says the world “capital,” in fact, there are three kinds of capital in a community: natural capital, human capital and financial or built capital. All three types of capital are equally important to a community. All three types of capital need to be managed with care in order to ensure that the community does not deteriorate. In order to avoid deterioration, I also believe that a community must strive to reach excellence: excellence in education, excellence in business, and excellence in service.

Therefore it will be critically important for the community as a whole to focus on creating and expecting excellence.

As school opens, I will be rolling out the Board of Education goals for this school year. Part of my role will be to instill the importance of community excellence for staff and students. We will all have to participate in creating community capital so that we can sustain the many efforts that will support our schools and community.

Please feel free to contact me by e-mail or phone. I can be contacted via e-mail scott.hunt@cardinalschools.org or in the office at 440-632-0261.

SANDBLASTING & PAINTING

I would like to take the opportunity in this issue to explore the dangers of hydroplaning a n d t h e resulting motor vehicle accidents.

Several area roadways pool large amounts of water during heavy rains. These “high water” areas have and can present a hydroplaning hazard resulting in serious motor vehicle accidents. The definition of “hydroplane” from the Merriam-Webster dictionary is as follows “hydroplane - (intransitive verb): to skim on water; especially of a vehicle: to skid on a wet surface (as pavement) because of a film of water on the surface causes the tires to lose contact with it.”

Possible causes listed on the internet at www.Answers.com include; 1. Driving to fast in the rain.

2. Water too deep on the roadway.

3. Tires too worn out to drive on (no tread wear left).

4. Driving right after a long drought and the water brings oil to the surface of the road causing the road to be slick.

5. Turning your wheel too fast to make a turn in the rain.

6. Improper air pressure in tires.

7. Wrong type of tires on car or truck.

Whatever the cause hydroplaning has caused several serious motor vehicle accidents including fatalities in our area.

Please be alert to “High Water” signs, large pools of water on roadways and the condition of your vehicles tires.

Hydroplaning hazards increase at night because reduced visibility hides pools of water from view. Please exercise extreme caution on wet roads especially during the heavy periods of rains in the spring and the fall. Please maintain a safe distance from other vehicles especially during periods of inclement weather.

Stay safe. We are pleased to serve you.

village

By Mayor Ben Garlich

Middlefield S u m m e r F e s t w a s fantastic; great enter tainment and delicious f o o d . M y family and I participated in all activities and had a wonderful time. The rain did not deter the outstanding parade participation.

This is the second annual and it was great to have my brother-in-law Roy Rogers Jr. as parade grand marshal. We enjoyed spending time with him and his family and we all had a ball at the event. The day took a massive amount of effort by many people, and was extremely enjoyable. I can’t wait until next year.

The MFM (Middlefield Farmers Market) continues to improve as produce comes into season. I look forward to this weekly in Mineral Lake Park and hope to see you there as you meet and visit with friends. If you’ve not attended you don’t know what you are missing. It’s such a joy to purchase fresh, quality locally produced products.

I am looking forward to the opening of Taco Bell on the Aug. 22. The Harrington building on South Springdale has been completed and will soon be fully occupied,

AUG. 1217

BACK TO SCHOOL

and a new shop, Coco Beans, has opened on Route 608. These businesses all add value to our community and we look forward to additional expansion with O’Reilly Auto Parts. There are more potential manufacturing and commercial expansions, including three manufacturing facilities and a major retailer. I expect to see lots of dirt moving in the next 12 months.

The Village is almost done with the creation of a promotional video touting the attributes of our Village. We look forward to its completion and circulating this to prospective businesses. We will make this available on the Web site when completed.

I appreciate everyone who participated and provided testimonials.

The M.A.C. last event of the summer is Aug. 9 at Eagle Park with a band to be announced. This is a great venue for these performances, so I hope you will attend a few of these relaxing and enjoyable evenings with your friends and families. You never know who you’ll run into.

I urge you to visit our Web site that is updated regularly with new photos of events in our community as well as all meeting minutes and announcements. Please frequently visit www.middlefieldohio.com.

Stay informed, become involved and shop local.

Exercise to Music

Mowing Season ...

Chainsaw Season ...

$avings $eason !

Exercisers can improve their performance by as much as 15 percent if they listen to music while working out. In one study, treadmill walkers moving in time with music felt 15 percent more energetic— and less eager to get off the machine— than treadmill walkers who were not listening to music. According to the sports psychologists who produced this statistic, “Music listening can be an effective dissociation strategy, reducing perceptions of effort and fatigue by up to 12 percent.”

Dancing makes moving in time with music into more of a party and less of a chore. “In some ways, dancing is the best exercise— it’s really aerobic.”

Celebrating 174 Years

In May, when Ron and Elizabeth Fales celebrated their 60th, Diamond Wedding Anniversary, the party included his brother Fred, sister-in-law Joan, his sister Eleanor and her husband Jim who were each celebrating 55 plus years of marriage. What joy the whole family had reminiscing about these long-lasting marriages. The Fales have been in Middlefield for 112 years, ever since Ron’s grandmother had the house on Main St. (Route 87) built. He and his siblings were born there and Elizabeth and Ron still live there.

All three couples graduated from Middlefield School. In 1952, when Ron and Elizabeth got their diplomas, there were just 15 students in the graduating class. The young couple eloped in 1953 when Ron was 20 and the law at that time required him to be 21 to wed. They drove to Hagerstown, Maryland in Elizabeth’s 1942 Mercury convertible. Quite a daring act at the time.

But eight children, 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren later, through sorrows and storms, this couple has stuck together.

Ron worked many years for Columbia Mold and Dye, near the old bowling alley off 608.

Men who kiss their wives in the morning are said to live five years longer than those who don’t. So pucker up and start your day off right!

On his living room wall hangs a framed article in a local newspaper from 1951 when Ron was a senior in high school. The author refers to Ron as a budding Henry Ford, showing a photo of the young man who was already proprietor of Ronald’s Fix It Shop. The picture accompanying the article shows Ron at the wheel of his creation, a three-wheeled automobile powered by a discarded washing machine engine. What creativity and inventiveness existed back in those days. Congratulations to all the Fales on their anniversaries.

{ community interest } Chocolate Covered Cell Phone

By Ellie Behman I have found out that the little things in life sometimes turn out to be the most memorable, funny and poignant incidents if we just open our minds and our hearts.

When our grandchildren were growing up I thought everything they said and did was adorable and couldn’t imagine any other children as talented or as smart. I laughed at their impish antics and realized that if my own children had done the same exact things I probably would have disciplined them. I guess the Grama gene contains a healthy dose of sense of humor, laughter and understanding. I’m sure my kids wish that gene had kicked in when they got into trouble.

Life speeds by like a streamlined locomotive and before I knew it those giggly little grandchildren grew up to be adults and had their own families. Just when I began to miss the times I spent playing with them, along came four beautiful great grandsons one after the other. Once again I could enjoy the little ones whose innocence and spontaneous actions would thrill me beyond belief.

One such time happened several months ago at a family dinner. Four year old Caden walked up to me, held out his little hand and presented me with a couple of candy kisses.

I found this act sweet and unselfish. I took the candy and placed them in my pocket and forgot about them. The next day I slipped on the jeans, put my cell phone in my pocket and went about my days work, cleaning and cooking. That evening I pulled out my phone and, to my surprise, saw that it was covered from top to bottom with chocolate.

If my own children had done this as they were growing up I think I would have had (what we called at that time) a hissy fit. This time, however, I smiled through tears, cleaned off the chocolate and realized how blessed I was to enjoy the simple affection of a great grandchild.

I wonder if Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory ever thought of producing a chocolate cell phone. Maybe Caden is on to something!

pathways to Remembering God’s Blessings

By Thad Bergmeier

Twenty years ago this summer, a small group of people gathered to start a new church in central Geauga County. It was their desire to have a spiritual community committed to the Word of God and the gospel message of Jesus dying in the place of sinners. There is no doubt that over the 20 years the church has been serving this community, there have been good and hard times. But one constant has been God’s continual blessing. While I have only been here for the past few years, I consider it a privilege to be part of Cornerstone Bible Church.

Remembering is not something we are really good at in our culture. If you were to read through the Old Testament, the concept of remembering the past was always upon the minds of the Israelites.

In fact, it was their forgetfulness of their past that often led them in trouble. They would get so caught up in their present day problems that they would forget their past, which resulted in them turning from the Lord.

I’m sure you’ve heard the famous idiom: “Those who forget their pasts are destined to repeat it.” You probably have illustrations of how this is true in your life. It is certainly true of history. It is also true spiritually.

When we forget what God has done for us spiritually, we tend to drift away from Him. When we remember what He has done for us, we are drawn into closer communion with Him. Proper worship of God is deeply connected to remembering.

In Ephesians 3:11–13, the Apostle Paul reminds people to “remember” what God has done for them in their salvation. After calling them to “remember” what their life was like before they met Jesus, several times, he concludes with this thought: “Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”

Have you ever wondered why many people in churches pray with so little affection? Have you ever been curious as to why Christians sing with so little passion?

Why so few have a zeal for evangelism? It is possibly linked to forgetting what God has done in saving them. There is great spiritual benefit in remembering our hopeless condition that moved God to send Jesus to be our Savior.

We are excited that Cornerstone Bible Church is celebrating a 20th anniversary on Aug. 11. We will gather. It will be a party. We

In medieval times, husbands and wives who couldn’t get along were locked in a tall tower together and made to work out their differences before they were let out, or until the woman grew her hair long enough to use it as an escape rope.

Many believe this is where the legend of “Rapunzel” came from.

will talk about what God has done in our community through His people over these years. But the greatest opportunity we have on that day is to remember what God has done personally as He rescued us from our sin. And as we do this, my prayer is that we find ourselves in greater dependence upon Him for the next twenty years. All to His glory and our good.
