Kathleen Grendell, Kenston High School, who worked in human resources with Metzenbaum Sheltered Industries. “I loved my internship.” Michael Mulh, Cardinal High School, worked for Aerospace Maintenance Solutions in Chesterland, a company that receives, tests, repairs and ships out old aircraft parts. “I learned how a business functions from A to Z and everything in between.” Madalyn Timmons, Berkshire High School, who completed her internship with Geauga Growth Partnership said she learned to act in a professional setting using time management and organizational skills.
“Even if what I was doing wasn’t my favorite thing, the people I worked with are great.” Some students made use of video in their presentations, and the evening concluded with a comedic office video presented by Christin Dornback, Berkshire High School who interned with Geauga County Maple Leaf. The Geauga Growth Partnership High School Internship Program was launched the summer of 2012 by the GGP Internship Task Force with the purpose of matching high school juniors and seniors with sponsoring businesses who provide paid Continued on Page 15

he audience of more than 140 students, parents, employers and educators heard a new twist on “What I did on my summer vacation” from 38 high school students who completed summer internships with sponsoring companies and organizations. Work experiences covered a broad range of assignments in areas of marketing, administration, electronics, landscaping, graphic design, event planning and many more. Whether they were performing office skills, catering large events or maintaining landscapes, all students reported lessons learned. “I learned to work with all kinds of people and manage problems,” said
The Middlefield-based Tucholski family, (l-r) Andrew, his mom, Vanessa and sister, Olivia, pause from the never ending but enjoyable and often amusing barn chores involving their 4-H projects of chickens and pygmy goats.
questions being asked is, “What about ducks?” According to Alisha Faudie, 4-H Program Coordinator of Geauga county, “Avian flu affects all animals with feathers and wings, domestic and wild.” Because of this outbreak of Avian flu, the Ohio poultry 4-H groups will not be exhibiting at the fair this year. While there are no reported cases of Avian flu in Ohio, the ban is to safeguard Ohio’s poultry industry. Some surrounding states like Pennsylvania are also enacting bans. Also affected are natural wildlife exhibits. According to the Ohio State Department of Agriculture (ODA) a strain of Avian flu, H5N2, has been detected along the Mississippi Migratory Flyway. This strain is likely spread via the migratory birds and some states: Minnesota, Missouri and Arkansas along this route have detected this H5N2 Avian flu strain. The virus is spread through bird feces. If a domestic birds shares a pond with wild birds, there is
a potential invasion. Poultry farmers are cautioned to keep their flocks separate in covered and enclosed pens. How will the poultry 4-H students be able to present their hard work? They will not be showing their animals at the fair, but they are learning how to take precautions to not spread the disease among the flocks. They learned biosecurity requirements such as not to let flocks comingle with wild birds, care with introducing new animals (separation for two weeks) and extreme Continued on Page 9

A Look Back in Time
2 Bedroom Units in ! Middlefield
This, 1890s Fair Board building at the southwest entrance to the Geauga Fairgrounds was formerly the Burton station for the Cleveland & Eastern Railway. The interurban rail service ended in 1925 and this building, after being turned around, was put into service as the Fair Board offices.
The two pictures in this week’s issue are of the Great Geauga County Fair taken more than 100 years ago. This years’ fair is its 193rd edition and was officially born in 1823, with the first “Fair & Cattle Show”, held on Oct. 23 in Chardon, lasting just one day. Rail pens were built on the square for livestock and agricultural and domestic products were exhibited in the old log courthouse. The early Fairs were alternately held between Burton and Chardon, with at least one Fair held in Painesville, prior to the formation of Lake County, which separated from Geauga County in 1840. After that time, and since the mid-1800s, The Great Geauga County Fair has been held in Burton after the County Fairgrounds were permanently established there. The origins and spirit of The Great Geauga County Fair actually date back another twenty-five years to 1798 when the families of the earliest settlers in Burton, the Umberfields, first held a gathering that June. The annual “jollification”, or fair, as it became known, based on the early Fairs of Europe and the East, continued in Geauga County for the next two and a half decades.

This “jollification,” drew widespread public interest and participation from area residents, until finally becoming formally organized under the auspices of the county’s newly created agricultural society in 1823, at the urging of prominent farmers and landowners, notably Lewis Hunt who lived in what is now known as Huntsburg Township. Mr. Hunt, a knowledgeable horticulturist with an interest in raising fruit trees, had been associated with the State Horticultural Society in Massachusetts when he lived there and was therefore familiar with the benefits of such institutions when he came to Huntsburg in 1817.

community interest Take a Road Trip With the D&L FLOORING Middlefield Library
O
ver the years, the Middlefield Library has brought many experiences to our community. But this September, the library is going to reverse this formula and take you to the experience. The Middlefield Library is hitting the road to visit Cleveland’s West Side Market on Saturday, Sept. 12. Hop on a bus and let the Middlefield Library take you there. The West Side Market has been a Cleveland Landmark since it opened in 1912. Not only is the market housed in a grand and beautiful building, it is also known throughout the country for its food. In fact, the September 2010 issue of Food Network Magazine named it America’s Best Food Lover’s Market. Upon arriving, participants will receive a brief tour and history from West Side Market staff. Afterwards, attendees will be free to tour the market on their own, as well as shop and enjoy the wonderful foods available. Explore more than 100 stands that reflect Cleveland’s cultural diversity with Irish, German, Slovenian, Greek, Polish, Russian, Middle Eastern and many other specialties represented. The bus will then return to the Middlefield Library. The price per person is $10 (cash only). Reservations are required as seating is limited. Reservations will only be accepted at time of payment. No refunds will be available. Mark your calendars because tickets are expected to go quickly. Children ages 12 through17 years old may attend if accompanied by a parent. Call the Middlefield Library, 440-632-1961 for information. This program is sponsored by the East Geauga Friends of the Library. After returning with some excellent treats, check out the library’s extensive cookbook collection with titles including “Recipes from a Slovenian Kitchen” by Janez Bogataj; “The Complete Middle Eastern Cookbook” by Tess Mallos; “Biergarten Cookbook: Traditional Bavarian Recipes” by Julia Skowronek; and “Mediterranean Cookbook: Fresh, Fast, and Easy Recipes” edited by Marie-Pierre Moine. Also explore the Friend’s of the Library’s Booksale Room for cookbooks that are available to purchase! The Friends have fantastic deals and even better books. A tremendous thanks to Friends for the generous support needed making this trip to the West Side Market possible. We hope to see you there. The Middlefield Library is located at 16167 E. High Street (44062). Call 440-632-1961.

Cardinal Graduate Receives Scholarship Congratulations to 2015 Cardinal Graduate Lucas F. He is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the Cleveland Touchdown Club Charities. Lucas was the football team’s videographer for 3 years and was an integral part of the program despite never donning a helmet. Head football coach Eric Cardinal calls Lucas a very worthy choice for the scholarship. “Perhaps Lucas’ finest hour in football came the night of last season’s Berkshire game when, through sheer ingenuity, he fixed our video camera,” said Cardinal. “If you see Lucas, ask him about it and he will wax eloquent on the achievement.” Lucas was also a letter winner in baseball, and had many academic achievements at Cardinal as well. Lucas plans to continue his education at the University of Akron this fall.

Maintenance Work Continues on School Grounds Cardinal Schools maintenance crews are hard at work this summer preparing four buildings for the upcoming year. School grounds have been spruced up, floors have been waxed, carpets have been cleaned and fresh coats of paint have been applied in every building. At the high school, the distance learning classroom renovations are nearly complete. Crews have replaced old ceiling tiles and repairs are underway on the roof. Wider bus lanes have been paved at the middle school and elementary school and the drainage project at the middle school is the final stages. “We have a lot of items to get through on our summer maintenance checklist,” said maintenance supervisor, Brian Kelly. “Our crews have worked hard and the grounds and the buildings look great. They’ll be ready to welcome students and staff back in a couple of weeks.”

Students, parents, teachers and staff use the stairs to get between Jordak Elementary School and the parking lot which sits above the school grounds. “The improvements were necessary to ensure the safety of everyone who uses those steps,” said maintenance director, Brian Kelly. “The new steps are wider and sturdier and the decking is made of recycled material. It’s a nice improvement.”

A Night on the Town
armen Kulgoske and Ann Thomas are co-chairs of Textiles of Geauga County Historical Society and volunteers at the Century Village Museum in Burton. These ladies put together the current exhibit, A Night on the Town, at the Century Village. This fashion show features evening wear from the 1890s through the 1920s. Susan Powers, adjunct instructor at Ursuline College, helped the ladies determine the dates of the garments, displaying the silhouettes, and explaining fashion changes. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey, the clothing at this exhibit is similar to the TV show’s costumes. This exhibit is free and open to the public on Fridays from noon to 4 p.m. and runs through Oct. 30. Volunteers are on hand to add to the visuals with interesting historical notes on the fashions. Be sure to visit the Geauga County Historical Society Century Village Museum’s historical display at The Great Geauga County Fair in the Heritage Village.

I am not sure who will purchase this place; perhaps someone with a classic car collection or an Amish maple syrup producer who will tap the hundreds of sugar maples. Perhaps it will be a hunter or an avid fisherman or a church looking for a gathering place. I know whoever it is, they will fall in love with this place and add their own special touches to start building memories. I have mine! I invite all my readers to come out to the auction and make a day of walking the grounds, sharing article ideas with me and bidding on something that catches your eye. It is not recommended to bring children since there are many things with sharp edges. There is plenty of off road parking. The auction ad is in this edition of the Middlefield Post at the bottom of this page, and the farm is a short drive from the center of Middlefield. Here is a link for Kiko’s website: kikoauctions.com and my ad: http://www.kikoauctions.com/?nav=au ctions&details=5556. See you Aug. 29. Bring your friends and your money; my travel plans are going to be costly. To find out what Joe would do, e-mail questions to editor@middlefieldpost. com. Joe has over 20 years experience in manufacturing and says that as a small business owner, he found you either learn how to solve a problem yourself or pay to have it done. Joe’s articles are his opinion and are only intended as a guide. Please consult an expert when in doubt.

Avian Flu and the 4-H
continued from page 1 cleaning measures when transporting their birds. Although there will be no judging of Grand Champions and Grand Reserves this year, there will be an auction by lot. Paul Harris of the Fair Board will run the new 4-H Poultry Auction procedure this year. The Pygmy Connection 4-H group club advisors Traci Snode and co-advisors Jenny Surace and Vanessa Tucholski are keeping on top of the changes for the 4-H club requirements and passing information to the poultry club members. Andrew Tucholski of The Pygmy Connection 4-H group is in his second year of exhibiting poultry. This year will be different because there is no live animal to show. Andrew talked about the development of marketing skills, increasing knowledge of poultry and new approaches to the potential-buyers’ letters. The exhibitors’ 4 inch by 6 inch photos will be submitted for judging and attached to the “We Support” plaques given to the buyers. The animals will go through tight scrutiny as part of the biosecurity and then be processed on Aug. 27. Animals and chickens will be vacuum wrapped and boxed with a tag number. The Poultry Auction will take place Sept. 5 at the Small Animal Barn. Each of the animals will be tagged with the required photograph associated with the exhibitor. A Junior Fair board member not associated with poultry will draw the tags and designate the order of the sale. Fairgoers will not see poultry at the fair; so, what will be seen in the poultry fair barn? There will be educational presentations explaining the current knowledge of the Avian Flu and how to take precautionary-tips regarding backyard flocks. The 4-H clubs plan interesting displays representative of their animals. “Our club will print photographs of us with our animals,” Andrew explained. “These will be on display in the poultry barn.” Be sure to visit the poultry barn while at The Great Geauga County Fair, Sept. 3 through Sept. 5.
NAUVOO FAMILY MARKET
Spring, the time to ‘sharpen-up’ everything!
A
nyone who reads my column knows I built a new house and recently moved in. Now I must sell the farm and much of the equipment that I will no longer need as I downsize to a more sedentary lifestyle. My goal is to write and travel more, checking off the places I visit from my bucket list. My wife and I made the decision to auction off the four parcels of land and most of my tools, tractors and toys. This will be an absolute auction with no reserve; the highest bidder takes it home. I have enjoyed this place immensely with the two lakes, woods and an abundance of wildlife. I enjoyed riding the trails on my four wheeler and walking around the lakes watching the bass take the flies as they near the water’s surface. Those fish are so gorgeous, I found it difficult to fillet and eat them, choosing to return them to the water instead. I am going to miss my neighbors; great people who I consider my friends. I am also going to miss the picnics we had where 70 plus friends and relatives showed up to take in the fresh air and enjoy the peaceful surroundings around the lakes or a quiet walk in the woods. It is difficult keeping a dry eye as I reminisce about this wonderful place knowing that I am turning the page on another chapter of my life.

Writing Winners
S
everal children stood on chairs behind the podium in order to reach the microphone. What a treat it was listening and watching the winning children writers read their works at the annual Geauga Parks Nature Writers event at the West Woods. They were all excited and proud, as were their families. What a great idea for the Park System to promote these young talented writers. I was lucky enough to interview the second and third place poetry winners, Violet Aufderheide, age 8 and Blayde Buckner, age 11. Violet’s mom describes her daughter as creative, energetic and empathetic. Violet will enter third grade at Munson School this fall. Her poem “Winter Snow” was written as a school assignment on the weather. Besides writing, Violet enjoys drawing, acting, gymnastics, movies and games. She is appearing now in the Geauga Lyric Theater’s “A Walk in the Woods.” Violet is a natural story-teller and has been making up stories since preschool years. When asked what her favorite book was, she declared she “loved all her books.” Her award winning poem is called an acrostic poem, meaning that one letter, in this case the first of each line, forms a word itself. Violet is the daughter of Michele Meyers and Jeremy Aufderheide.
Winter Snow By Violet Aufderheide Wish it would be warm not cold Icicles dripping from the roof Nicest weather for my sled Time to play outside in snow Everyone is bundled up Riding my sled down the hill Snow is falling from the sky Now the bears are hibernating On the ground there is no green Wherever I go it’s covered in snow Violet Aufderheide Third place poetry winner, sixth-grader Blayde Buckner, is home-schooled. He is the second of the four children of Suzie and Dennis Buckner of Newbury. His mom says he loves to read and write and has written many poems. Blayde also has a part in “A Walk in the Woods” at the Lyric Theater. His favorite subjects are art and public speaking. Blayde’s many hobbies include music, animals, flag football, swimming, camping, reading, writing and Legos. His winning poem, “Changes” was prompted at the end of winter by his looking forward to spring. His mom says of him, “Blayde has a mind that never stops thinking. He is very creative and inventive, always coming up with new ways of doing things. He has a great concern for animals, insects and our planet. He loves being outdoors among the beauty of God’s creation. Blayde has been blessed with many talents in music, theater, sports and academics. He is a very good cook and enjoys canning as well. Blayde and his three siblings run their own small business selling eggs and baked goods. He also spends time volunteering, doing yard work for the elderly.”
Changes By Blayde Buckner
Blayde Buckner
Although the sky may be gray, it soon will be blue with bright sunshine. Though the trees may be bare, they soon will be full of rustling leaves. The ground may be dole, but it soon will be glossy and damp. The air may be bitter, but soon it will be relaxing and warm. For these are the changes that make God’s creation even more special than it already is.
Other winners in the children’s division were: Ehren Collins, Lucas Gajda, Lucy McNees, Alexandra Ensign, Alexandra Vaduva, Nya Ku, Madison Wayt. Congratulations to all of you. Keep on writing!
“Then followed that beautiful season... Summer.... Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Evelyn B. Bollinger, loving mother and friend, entered eternal life at the age of 93 on Aug. 7, 2015 at 6:49 p.m. She embraced and loved life to the very end. Her constant love, support and smiles will be greatly missed. Evelyn, the oldest daughter of Ellen L. Taylor Buell and Walter B. Buell, was born June 9, 1922 in Huntsburg. Her spirit is carried on by two daughters, Denise D. Bollinger and Vicki L. Bollinger Hattin (Dr. Ronald), five grandchildren: Gretchen Boldin, Heather Narusch, Corey Narusch, Kyle Narusch and Devin LaMarche (Matthew). Evelyn is also survived by one brother, Elwood Buell and one sister, Ella Mae Motil, 14 great grandchildren and seven greatgreat-grandchildren. She was predeceased by two brothers, Donald and Russell Buell and one great-granddaughter. After humble beginnings and a struggle with tuberculosis at age 17, Evelyn, under the care and guidance of Dr. Walter Corey, went on to become a registered nurse through the US Military Nursing Cadet Program. In her senior year of nursing school, on April 14, 1946, Evelyn was married to Jack C. Bollinger. Jack was her beloved husband, travel companion, and favorite dance partner for 49 years. Evelyn lost Jack to Parkinson’s Disease in 1995. Following her first years working as a nurse with Dr. Walter Corey for the public health department, Evelyn found herself raising two girls and juggling two jobs. She worked evenings with Dr. William Reed in Burton and became the full-time school nurse at West Geauga for 25 wonderful years. Several of her Future Nurses Club members are still practicing nursing. Even after her retirement, she continued to be an active and vital part of her community by working part time at the Wren House and volunteering at the Sunshine Shop until after her 90th birthday. Even at 92, she spoke of going back to work. Many of you may have seen her driving her shiny red car she received as a birthday present for her 90th birthday. “Sit low and drive slow” was her motto! Next to Christmas, which was always large as life, April Fool’s Day was one of her favorite holidays and she’d pin silverware to the tablecloth and pack cellophane sandwiches for Jack’s lunch at work. It was not Jack’s favorite holiday! Evelyn never had a bad word to say about anyone. She never preached politics nor judged others. She spent 50 years dancing with Jack every Saturday night and when he was no longer there, she could be found dancing to Lawrence Welk in her kitchen. Slot machines in Las Vegas made her light up, and she was always lucky. It is Evelyn’s wish that you “Smile when you remember her.” In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Evelyn Bollinger Memorial Educational Fund would be greatly appreciated: Evelyn Bollinger Memorial Educational Fund, C/O Huntington Bank, 14522 N. Cheshire St., Burton, Ohio 44021. Online condolences may be sent to www. bestfunerals.com. Fannie R. Yoder (nee Detweiler), 92, of Middlefield, passed away peacefully Aug. 2, 2015 at home surrounded by her family. She was born in Middlefield May 6, 1923 to the late Rudy and Sovilla (Miller) Detweiler. Fannie is now reunited with her loving husband of 60 years, Mahlon J. Yoder, who died in 2005. She was a member of the Old Order Amish Church. She will be missed by her children, Sarah Kauffman, Rudy (Mary) Yoder, Eli (Nancy) Yoder, Sovilla (Noah) Detweiler, Katie (Daniel) Troyer, Owen (Anna Marie) Yoder, Bill (Kathryn) Yoder, Nancy (Albert) Mast, Marvin (Cathryn) Yoder; 57 grandchildren; 215 great-grandchildren; seven step-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Fannie is preceded in death by: her parents; husband, Mahlon; son-in-law, Henry Kauffman; and eight grandchildren. Fannie’s final resting place is in Yoder Cemetery in Parkman. Online condolences may be sent at www.bestfunerals.com. Betty Grace Hummel, 91 of Huntsburg, passed away Monday morning, Aug. 3, 2015 at Briar Hill Health Care. She was born on May 8, 1924 in London, England, daughter of Albert F. and Helene Thompson. Betty married Robert Hummel and lived in Huntsburg were she was a Secretary at Huntsburg Elementary, and also a full-time mother raising her “six boys”. She enjoyed singing and dancing and was a member of the Happy Wanderers, a singing group. She will be missed dearly by her friends and family; her six sons, Danny (Kathleen), Robert (Sue), Albert, David, Richard and James; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert in 1985; her parents and an infant sister. James R. Carder, 75 of Middlefield, Ohio passed away Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015 at University Hospital Case Medical Center.

Parish Community of
SS Edward and Lucy Meet The Schwendemans Founding Family Members
Ralph and Doris Schwendeman are long time members of SS Edward and Lucy Parish, Ralph as one of the first members when St. Edward Church opened in 1928. Married for 65 years with eight children and 17 grandchildren, the Schwendeman’s remain humble about their longtime volunteer and support of the church. One of the longest running threads in the church’s history, Ralph has seen eight priests in the 84 years of his membership! Ralph and Doris are always delighted to welcome newcomers. “We welcome everyone, and for those who have left, you are always welcome back”. For anyone unsure, Ralph says with a smile, “We all worship the same God.” As Ralph and Doris explain it, “There are so many kinds of people, dispositions and ages. There’s always a connection to make here.” The warmth and support that members provide each other is encouraged and supported by church activities, including the annual Renewal, where members can stay for the duration of the weekend, getting to know each other and their faith more in depth. Ralph and Doris explain, “The friends you make here are for the rest of your life.” Says Ralph about the church, “I love everything about it. The people are always good and helpful, and the Church is always there. Through retirement, open heart surgery and family loss, the Church has always been a refuge when times are tough.” For anyone curious about attending, Ralph recommends any of the numerous events, which are all open to the public. “Our parish even brought back the Chicken Dinner and Car Show!” he says with a smile.

community interest By Dr. David Fakadej
Neutral Health Care
O
ccasionally I receive comments from readers both liking and disliking what I write. For example, I wrote a bit on vaccines. Some comments accused me for an anti-vaccine article and other comments expressed appreciation for an anti-vaccine article. The problem was the article was not anti-vaccine. Neither was it pro-vaccine. It was neutral. In our community, there are several adults and children injured through vaccination along with several adults and children helped through vaccination. I personally take no issue either way. I care about the person administering the vaccine and the patient. Did she/he do their job to inform the patient of risks and inquire (with serious intent) as to allergy issues and the state of health of the patient? We have increasing incidents of allergy reactions of all kind today. It appears that restaurants take more concern for liability for a person’s allergies and health. Are vaccines somehow exempt from allergy reactions? It is the provider’s liability (including school administrators) to demonstrate a patient understands the risk and can tolerate treatment policy. A policy that intentionally disregards the injury of children is not acceptable. This is not about vaccines. I had accusations on anti-vegetarian diets, anti-dairy, anti-meat, and others. I had comments of appreciation on the same topics. I am not for or against anything I write. I am neutral and concerned for the patient’s best interest, not the authorized declaration of policy. Health care providers must maintain neutrality, which does not relate to compassion for the patient. An extremist health care provider will tell all patients the same thing, “Do this or suffer - no ifsands-or-buts, it is this way or the highway!” Extremism exists everywhere; chiropractic, physical therapy, yoga, surgery, nutrition and diet, vaccination and prescription drugs, religion, politics, etc. Extremism is dangerous with horrific consequences. Hitler was extreme. Jim Jones was extreme, “Drink the Cool-Aid!” Sometimes patients are extreme. Extremist patients don’t want options. Extremists ‘know’ what they want and what they don’t want. Heaven forbid an extremist patient takes a dislike to an extremist doctor; results are predictable. And if the doctor is neutral, results are more challenging. My articles are challenging and force one to think. Neutral health care professionals maintain the patient’s best interest, not policy. A neutral doctor will address any patient concern: “Yes, no, maybe, it depends

…anything can cause anything; why do you ask?” An extremist doctor dismisses patient concerns with one firm answer, never listening to the patient, and offering little if any option. Here is the issue. The definition of ‘health’ or ‘disease’ is not clear-cut. Any one disease can stem from many causes - each requires a different intervention. An extremist patient wants a cure, no dilly-dallying around, no question and answer, just fix it. Such extreme simplicity is extremely rare. W.H.O. defined health in 1948 as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This definition lacks specific values and does not define the word complete and does not consider individual satisfaction. Health care works by taking a patient from a bad state of health to a less bad state of health. We each live in a state of something less than health. Extremists focus on narrow parameters and one policy for all to gain health for all. Neutrality allows us to consider the individual person despite policy. Until we clearly define ‘health’ we can never set one policy for all people. Neutral people critique everything to enhance understanding. Neutrality is my foundation for what I think and write and how I treat my patients. To the reader, the parent, the employee, the administrator are you extremist or neutral? Your answer affects your health. Dr. David Fakadej, DC, LMT, is the proprietor at Journey Health Care & Chiropractic, 17652 Munn Road, Auburn Township.
