he Burton Chamber of Commerce is combining two fall traditions Oct. 13 and 14, an Ox Roast and an Oktoberfest celebration. The Village Green will be filled with vendors, delicious ox roast sandwiches, a beer tent and foot stomping polka band music.

The original German Oktoberfest began with the marriage of the Crown Prince of Bavaria in 1810. Today, the folk festival observance is linked to the bounty of the harvest and the goodness of creation. The tradition of a Burton ox roast goes back nearly 60 years to when the Burton Volunteer Fire Department began serving the hearty meal as a way to raise funds for new equipment.

It was later passed on to the Burton Chamber of Commerce to continue the fall ritual. This year the celebration begins both days at 10 a.m. Vendors will display and sell wares around the park until 5 p.m. The beer tent will be open until 8 p.m. on Saturday and till

he 64th annual Apple Butter Festival is coming to CenturyVillage Museum Oct. 13 and 14. This year, for the first time, fans of this Geauga County tradition will be able to compete for the titles of festival King and Queen, and can bid in a Historic Artisan Auction.

Century Village Museum’s Apple Butter Festival has been a fall mainstay for visitors looking for fresh apple butter, the sounds of the sawmill, pottery and blacksmith demonstrations, and pony rides for years. This community event draws in local artisans, food producers and farmers – truly benefiting all of Geauga County.

It also draws in over 150 volunteers for the week.

Volunteers assist with everything from apple peeling on Wednesday before the festival to

serving as house guides and gate attendants for the weekend. “The volunteers are the life behind this festival,” stated Elizabeth Wantz, curator for the Museum. “We rely on their help and support. This year alone, a new Field-to-Fabric exhibit is on display in the Cook House and the Hitchcock House is restaged and painted. They are stunning.”

In addition to the traditional Apple Butter Festival activities, this year participants in the King and Queen contest will earn points by competing in traditional harvestfestival activities, including archery and apple toss as well as contests for apple-pie baking, homemade (non-alcoholic) cider making and apple-pie eating. Points will be awarded for participation and achievement. The man and Continued on page 2

This picture shows the same location but now the buildings and uses have all changed. The use of the first building at this time is unknown by me. It appears that it may have been used as a garage. The next building is being used as Mumaw’s Feed Mill. Next is the office and plant for the Good News, owned by Garland and Margaret Shetler. There was also the law office of Mark Sperry in the north end of the building. Next were the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tracks and next to that was Slivishee’s Barbershop. As you can see, by now the street is paved.

Most cars. Up to 5 quarts. Synthetics extra. exp. 11/13/12

These two pictures are of the same scene, taken at least 40 years apart. The view is looking north on South State Street from probably where the caboose is now located behind Pizza Hut. The building on the right with the hole in it is the car barn for the Cleveland & Chagrin Falls Street Car that came down Route 700 and turned and headed for Middlefield at Slitor Cemetery.

It actually came across Mineral Lake Park and then down Sperry Lane and ended in the car barn.

The car would head back to Chagrin Falls the next morning. The next building is the Robinson Candy Factory and next to that is the Woodside Drug Store. Note the dirt street.

Your Taxes

In the general election of November 2012, Geauga Park District will ask voters to approve the replacement of a 1-mill levy passed in 1993, while a second 1-mill levy from 1995 expires.

This will REDUCE the taxes homeowners currently pay to these two levies by 16%.

Oct. 3, 2012

On Sept. 14, a band of 31 enthusiastic, passionate, diverse, Geauga County business professionals congregated in the large meeting room at Big Creek. This group designated Leadership Geauga, Class of 2013, experienced a full day under the guidance of the program’s executive director, Dr. Bob Faenhle. This orientation event was designed to familiarize the group with one another and with the program.

I had the pleasure of attending and participating. In future Middlefield Post issues, I will share some of my observations and experiences.

Leadership Geauga County is a nonprofit organization, governed by an active and influential Board of Trustees. These trustees represent a broad scope of age, experience and business in Geauga County.

The program is funded through means of tuition, scholarships, community and corporate support.

The purpose of Leadership Geauga is to identify current and future leaders from a cross-section of Geauga County, exposing them to the community’s realities, opportunities and challenges so that they may positively contribute to Geauga’s economic, social and civic development.

During the next 10 months, this group will dedicate one full day each month to experience the different attributes within the county. These events will incorporate speakers, tours, panel presentations and discussions. Through these functions, the class will foster leadership, management and interpersonal skills and hopefully assume greater responsibility for the future of this county. Full attendance is expected from all participants.

Dr. Bob Faenhle has been the executive director of Leadership Geauga County since August of 2005. It is clear, that he has a passion for Geauga County and repeatedly says about his job, “I do what I love and I love what I do.” Dr. Bob was actually involved in the early 90s when the initial planning for Leadership Geauga began. At that time, he pursued other instructional paths and others took on the task of organizing and leading the organization.

Continued on next page

{ community bulletin board } Continued from previous page Dr. Bob holds his bachelors, masters and doctorate from Bowling Green State University.

He will tell you he is a teacher at heart. For 30 years, he taught and led in local public school systems. He served as principal of Chardon High School for 7 years and Auburn Career Center for 13 years. Since 1998, he has been a member of the Graduate School Faculty at Kent State University.

Since that first day, with the Class of 2013, I have reviewed and analyzed the experience.

From the very moment I entered the large gathering room at Big Creek, I was impacted by the energy and purpose of every individual in the group. I found it interesting, that, when placed in a gathering of passionate, extroverted personalities, everyone acquainted themselves with all others in the group. There was no awkwardness or shyness, making for an exhilarating atmosphere.

Dr. Bob’s personality served to expand and enhance this atmosphere. Each person in the group was immediately challenged to think and express themselves quickly and effectively.

Through this exercise, my respect grew for everyone in the group as each proved themselves equal to the task. The day was packed with stimulating discussions and significant activities.

At one time, Dr. Bob was throwing balls and rubber chickens at us. He promised that we would know everyone by name before the end of the day, and that happened.

After lunch, we found out that there is no room for wimps in this class; we were teamed up and sent out into the cold, pouring rain to be trained and equipped to accomplish a skilled flag hunt through the woods in the park. All but one team finished, some with new record times.

Since this day of orientation, this group of 31 has convened daily through social media, and we all have become well acquainted and united. For me, getting to know this fabulous Class of 2013 has been most rewarding and I look forward to the days to come.

Geauga Growth Partnership has been holding workshops for area entrepreneurs’ who are working to establish a viable business in Geauga County. These workshops are offered in sessions of three and take place monthly. The first, in August, led participants to take a look at the intangibles of their business ideas. The group discussed their types of businesses and the benefits of researching the marketplace to find out if their proposed idea is achievable. Each participant left the meeting with a challenge to consider and research a specific concern or issue that might impede or stall the shaping of their business endeavor.

During the second session the group was challenged by Chardon based lawyer, Kathleen Dangelo to consider the preparedness of their venture regarding legal issues.

By Mayor Ben Garlich The new Web site is receiving lots of attention and visitors. Since its launch in mid August more than 2,000 people have visited the site. It continues to improve as it’s reviewed for functionality and enhancements. Please be aware, the site has dual functions and is a residential as well as a business site. We’ve placed additional banners around town displaying the www.middlefieldohio.com site but you can also visit www.middlefieldmeansbusiness. com. It’s very easy when on either side of the site to move from one to the other and both have interesting photos and current Village information including meeting agendas and minutes. There is also a suggestion box, a very effective and user-friendly way for you to provide input to help us serve this community. Our first e-news letter was launched on the Web site Sept. 18 and covers a variety of enjoyable topics. Take time to review and sign up to receive future e-news letters. The Web site is designed to keep you informed and create an environment of unity within our Village. I look forward to residents and businesses using the site and, with your help, making decisions that constantly improve our Village.

As we continue to build and strengthen our relationship with local businesses they are becoming more proactive in our Village. I appreciate their desire to be contributing members of our community and I expect the momentum to continue to build.

On Sept. 13, the Middlefield area was able to showcase itself to Team NEO. Representatives from Team NEO, City of Chardon, Geauga County Tourism, County officials, GGP (Geauga Growth Partnership) and local business leaders were present. Middlefield Village representatives were able to communicate our attributes and recent efforts to attract and draw new business to our area. We appreciate the opportunity and it will help add value to our current national marketing release. Our goal is to continue to network with all individuals and groups that will assist in creating quality growth in the Middlefield area.

The M.A.C. (Middlefield Activity Committee) is busy planning the final event for this year. It will be a Christmas theme with more detail to follow. The “The Shop with a Cop” program is again well funded. More detail for this event will also be provided at later date.

Many individuals in addition to M.A.C. have sacrificed personal time to support the events that brought so much enjoyment and benefit to so many. Thanks again for your time and support.

“The Perfect Upgrade from Tarps and Rocks”

Green

the rolling

By Robert Kacica

When a PGA player hits a golf shot, the bottom of the swing occurs about 4 inches past the ball. The average player’s golf swing bottoms about one and a half inches before the ball.

In order to achieve goals during a lesson with that much discrepancy can be challenging for any teaching professional.

A good way to ensure the most is achieved from your local golf professional in the shortest amount of lessons is to make sure your address position has the hands set ahead of the ball position. There should be a straight line drawn down the left arm and the inside of the left leg. If all things happen in a reasonable tempo, the result should give the student an even start at the bottom, rather than a negative inch and a half.

Then keeping the body stacked over the ball is another key to bottoming the club during the swing beyond the ball. By not allowing the spine to slide toward or away from the target, the bottom of the swing will consistently impact the ball in the same spot.

Lastly, keeping the rotation on the same plane will help deliver the club on the ball in the same spot. Rotate with a good connection to the club from the takeaway to the finish of the swing. A typical disconnect for an average player is losing the grip at the top of the swing.

Have fun. Talk to you soon.

{ family } Feathers and Fleece 4-H Club

By Marcella Dragolich The Feathers and Fleece 4-H club had a wonderful first year as a new poultry and sheep club. At the Fair, the group members had a great time working at the milkshake booth on Thursday. They were also glad to see their hard work pay off when their fair booth won for most original.

Everyone enjoyed participating in the shows and livestock auction. On Monday, the club set up cornhole in front of the junior fair building and sold flags to raise money for 4-H. It was sad to see the end of the fair, but now it’s time to set new goals for next year.

Thank you to all the generous buyers who purchased our animals at the livestock auction.

Things are Popping in Scout Pack 197

The Cub Scouts and Webelos of Burton Pack 197 have kicked off their annual popcorn sale. This fund-raiser aligns with one of the goals of Scouting—to teach youth within the organization how to become self-reliant. The choices and flavors available range from salty (classic yellow) to sweet (White Gold) to spicy (Jalapeno Cheese). Over 70 percent of the fund-raiser’s proceeds stay within the local council. Of that amount, one-third of a council’s proceeds go directly to Pack 197 to fund their local programs and activities. If you see our Scouts practicing raising and lowering the flag on the Burton Square, or if you see them over the next few weeks raking leaves for the elderly around the community, please ask them about supporting this fundraiser. If you don’t encounter a Scout during the fundraising timeframe, you can place your order online at http://www.prpopcorn.com/order_gatewayGW.php. If you want to learn more about Scouting, or want to become a Scout, contact them at https:// beascout.scouting.org/.

Presidential Programs

Are you looking for an alternative to the barrage of the political ads? The Geauga County Public Library has some presidential programs that are much more enjoyable.

The first program combines the supernatural and the White House, just in time for Halloween. Visit the Middlefield Library, Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. for “Ghosts of the White House.”

Did you know a president hosted séances? Which first ladies were conferring with spirits, clairvoyants and astrologers? Mary Lintern, park ranger from the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, will present the history of spiritualism featuring unusual stories and legends of the White House. Registration required, free and open to the public.

Not satisfied with the candidates this year? Or are you simply looking for a laugh? Check out “Mark Twain for President” at 7 p.m. on Nov. 3 at the Notre Dame Educational Center, 13000 Auburn Road, Chardon. This one-man show is sponsored by the Geauga County Library Foundation and the combined Friends of the Library. The noted American humorist, essayist, novelist and lecturer will be portrayed by Dave Ehlert, a master impressionist who has performed in over 38 states. Admission is $5 ($4 for Geauga County Library Foundation members). Tickets available at Geauga County Public Libraries.

On Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. Ulysses S. Grant (portrayed by George Dauler) will recount the remarkable story of his military masterpiece: the capture of Vicksburg, Miss. This first person portrayal will discuss the strategic nature and importance of Vicksburg. Registration required, free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library and supported through their book sale. Visit the book sale room weekday afternoons for great deals on books, audiobooks, DVDs and more.

Oct. 10, “Finding the Person within Your Ancestor” at 7 p.m. It’s difficult to research ancestors if journals, letters or autobiographical accounts don’t exist. Learn where to find revealing details, even in the absence of first person accounts, or at least, how to view your ancestor in historical context.

Oct. 28, “Genealogy Lock-In” from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Bring your family tree charts and notes for an opportunity to use library computers and databases for an uninterrupted ancestor-hunting session. Staff will be available for assistance. Registration required, limited to 12 people.

Middlefield Library is located at 16167 E. High St. (44062). Call 440-632-1961.

5515 Kinsman Rd. • Middlefield • 440-693-4617 (4 miles east of Middlefield • 2.5 miles west of Mesopotamia) Mon. - Fri. 8:00am-5:00pm Sat. 8:00am-3:00pm

Knowing that a democratic society needs nurturing, the VFW established the Voice of Democracy program (VOD) in 1947 to provide students grades 9 through12 the opportunity to express themselves in regard to democratic ideas and principles. Each year, more than 51,000 high school students from across the country enter to win a share of the $2.2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the VFW’s Voice of Democracy audio-essay competition.

The national first-place winner receives a $30,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient’s American university, college or vocational/technical school. Other national scholarships range from $1,000 to $16,000 and the first-place winner from each (State) VFW Department wins an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.

It was a balmy fall evening under an almost perfect full moon as close to 300 guests enjoyed the fourth annual Hometown Hoe-Down making it a huge success for the Geauga County Tourism Council! This annual fundraiser offered up a great buffet provided by area restaurants, a square dance demonstration by the Broken Wheel Square Dance group, live music by the Fort Huntsburg Band that was sponsored by Gwen Carlson, CPA. An amazing variety of silent and Chinese auction items donated by our wonderful local merchants created some competitive bidding. The Burton-Middlefield Rotary served up cold beer at the Brew Saloon and, 25 pies donated by local bakeries, restaurants, and community bakers were auctioned by Dave Rennolds. New Direction Photography provided photo opportunities to guests, one of the favorite photo spots was in the pumpkin float, donated for the evening by the Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival.

Young and young at heart enjoyed the hay bale toss and cornhole games sponsored by WKKY Radio. A wine pull sponsored by the Ohio Wine Producers Vines & Wines Trail was a sell out as guests pulled wine from a corn-filled wagon. Ma & Pa’s Gift Shack offered up hay wagon rides pulled by their team of draft horses and a not so co-operative cow provided the finale to the night with the much awaited Cow Plop Drop sponsored by Hastings Dairy. Congratulations to Scott Schaden for being the big winner and receiving the Grand Prize an Amish Wedding dinner served for him and nine guests offered by Yoder’s Home Cooking. Geauga County Tourism thanks presenting sponsors: Geauga County Farm Bureau and Sirna’s Farm & Market, Middlefield Market for providing the perfect venue for the event and the community for their tremendous support year after year. ‘Like’ Geauga County Tourism on Facebook and see the Hoe-Down photo album.

God Does Not Change

By Thad Bergmeier

Fall. It’s that time of the year again. The air is cool. The humidity is low. The days are enjoyable. The leaves are changing. It has to be my favorite time of the year. We have gone from summer into the fall. But soon, it will be winter. And then comes spring. We live our lives amidst the changing of seasons.

It is not just the climate that changes. Change is everywhere in our world. Politicians change. Our favorite sports players change teams. We move to different homes. Laws change. Our children get older. People die. It is an undeniable fact: things change. And no matter how much we might despise change, it is everywhere in our world.

Well, I should say that it is almost everywhere. There is one place that we can find stability.

Whenever I come into a new season of life, I am reminded that God does not change. He said, “I, the Lord, do not change.” (Malachi 3:6). The Psalmist showed the difference between the world and God when he wrote: “Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

They will perish, but You will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but You are the same, and Your years have no end” (Psalm 102:25–27).

While everything here is changing, we can worship a God that never changes. What does this mean for our life? It should liberate and free us to know that we do not have to guess His desires for us. What He has communicated in His Word is the same today as it was when it was written. When He said that He would forgive sins based upon faith in Jesus Christ, we can trust that it’s still true. When He said that Jesus would return for His people someday, we can trust that He’s coming again. God is not like man who changes; He is faithful to His Word (Numbers 23:19).

My guess is that sometime in the next few weeks, you will be outside in this beautiful weather. Maybe you will be raking your leaves. Maybe you will be hiking in the woods.

Maybe you will be preparing for winter. Whatever you find yourself doing, I challenge you to contemplate the unchangeableness of God. It just might change your life.

Gutter Gunk Be Gone

By Tresa Erickson Every autumn as the last leaves begin to fall, thousands of homeowners take time out of their busy schedules to clean out the gunk from their gutters. Those long, aluminum troughs along your roofline and the downspouts they connect to are essential for keeping rainwater moving away from your house and preventing all sorts of water-related issues.

Fortunately, cleaning gutters is not hard. All you need are a good pair of gloves, a gutter scoop, a bucket, a ladder and a garden hose. Set up the ladder so that you can see into the gutter. Make sure you set the ladder against the house, not the gutter, as it won’t be strong enough to support the weight. Then, using your scoop, remove all of the debris that has collected inside the gutter. Toss it into your bucket and continue moving down the length of the gutter until all is clear.

Depending upon the nature of the debris, you may need a few more tools. If the debris is mostly dried leaves, you may be able to use a leaf blower to remove it.

If you have a lot of mud, you might need a trowel to scrape it up. Just be careful that you don’t damage the gutter.

Once the gutter is clear, you will need to ensure the downspouts are clear. To do this, connect the hose to a spigot, turn on the water and fill the gutter with water.

Watch the downspout. If it is clear, the water should run through it and into your yard. If it is plugged, try running a hanger or a plumbing snake up it to dislodge the clog. If that doesn’t work, you may need to remove one section of the downspout at a time until you resolve the clog.

Basically aluminum pipes, downspouts generally do not get as dirty as gutters.

All kinds of debris can fall into the troughlike gutters from dead insects to dried out leaves. It is important that you clean them regularly to keep the channels clear and the rainwater moving. If you don’t, all sorts of problems can arise. Water can pool in the gutters, providing the perfect breeding grounds for rust, mold and insects. As the debris builds up, it can cause the gutters to sag, which can allow the water to overflow down onto the house and into the foundation. Over time, this can damage the siding, windows and foundation. It can also cause roof rot. If left unchecked long enough, the gutters may rust out and fall, pulling the downspouts away with them.

They may not look like much, but gutters and downspouts do a lot to keep your home in good condition. Don’t leave the cleaning of them to chance. Take time out to do it yourself or hire a professional.

Inexpensive gutter guards are available which you can install yourself to reduce the amount of debris that gets into your gutters and minimize cleanings. If budget permits, you might also want to look into having some type of gutter guard system installed, especially if you live in a home with multiple stories. This will keep your gutters clean and your feet on the ground.

Autumn is the perfect time to start a compost pile or bin. Even if you don’t have a large garden or yard, you can still benefit from composting — it enriches soil and reduces the need for water, fertilizers and pesticides. And, if you keep a small garden or containers, those plants will love the extra nutrients, too.

{ home design inside and out } Decorate to Welcome Fall

Fall decor is colorful and inviting, consisting of warm colors and natural elements, and it enlivens both indoor and outdoor spaces with rustic charm. It can also be fairly inexpensive if you use your imagination.

Nothing says fall like pumpkins and gourds. Several mini pumpkins and small gourds can be used as colorful centerpieces either grouped or in containers. They look charming in primitive pieces such as wooden baskets. A handful of acorns and pine cones scattered in the display adds even more interest.

Hollow out the center of a pumpkin, and you have an unique candle holder. Place them all around the house for a rich and warm decorating touch. This time of year, jack-o-lanterns are popular and either a ghastly or friendly glow coming from an illuminated face adds to the spirit of autumn.

Garlands anywhere in the home instantly transform a room. This easy fall decorating idea is inexpensive and looks nice when added to fireplace mantels, entertainment centers, hung above cabinetry or placed in a wicker basket. Likewise, festive autumn wreaths can adorn walls and tables. Lay one on a table, add to the middle a display of acorns, pinecones, small gourds and pumpkins, or place a candle inside a glass candle jar. Candles can set the mood for virtually any occasion. Scented candles add a welcoming shimmer to your home while infusing the air with heavenly autumn scents.

Fabric instantly adds warmth to any room, so pull out throw blankets that were put away for the summer and display them on couches and chairs. Layer fabric on dining room tables by adding decorative table runners on top of solid colored tablecloths. Be sure to put those lovely fall tones of green, orange, rust and yellow on top as a reminder of the season.

Mums look great indoors and they add a great decorative touch to any room. Place autumn colored mums in wicker baskets and add them in front of the fireplace, on mantels, or beside end tables. They also add great curb appeal when placed outside on a porch or door stoop.

An easy solution to an empty spot is to add a small basket of apples. Green apples or red apples, or a little of both, will look attractive and bring a little of the outdoors in. Line a wicker basket with a cloth before you add the apples for a special touch. If you use our delicious local apples, don’t expect your baskets to stay full and be ready to replenish them.

Replace your existing artwork with inexpensive pictures showcasing pumpkins, autumn leaves and so on. Even such a small and subtle touch can make a large impact overall in the look and feel of your room. Let the kids collect colorful falling leaves and frame them for a special decorative addition, or ask them to draw an autumn scene or cut out fall images from construction paper to adorn your walls with a piece to truly cherish.

Bringing nature indoors helps you and your family fully enjoy the colors, tastes and scents of this very special season.

The Department on Aging would like to invite you and your friends to volunteer during the Fall Clean-up Geauga Days. The kick off will take place Oct. 5 and run through November weather permitting. Many local seniors can no longer rake their yards, weed flower beds, clean up yard debris or wash windows. Volunteers can truly make a difference by helping a senior citizen remain independent and allow them to live in a safe, clean environment.

The Department would like to salute those who have helped in the past. Without their help and the generous gift of their time, they would not be able to provide such a high level of service to local senior citizens.

“Clean-Up” volunteers will generally be assigned close to their homes to make the most of their volunteer time; although, some volunteers may choose another area in which they would like to work. Individuals or groups who can help during the Clean-up Geauga Days should contact the Department on Aging by calling 440-279-2130, 440-564-7131 extension 2130, or 440-834-1856 extension 2130. Ask for Bob Debevits, home maintenance coordinator or Bill Phillips, volunteer coordinator, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Winter Long Ago

It’s autumn, and as we enjoy the beautiful color, sensible Geaugans turn their thoughts to winter. We know what is coming and, although we can’t stop it (nor do we necessarily want to) we know how to prepare. And so did the Geaugans of the early to mid 1800s.

They made sure their buildings were as weather tight as possible, as do we. They made sure their equipment was in good shape, as do we (of course the equipment differs. Think harness, sleds and sleighs vs. snow blowers, cars and snow plows.) They made sure to lay in enough food and fuel, as do we. But they had to be much more concerned with having enough food stored than do we. Nowadays we are advised to have enough food on hand to last about 2 weeks. A Geaugan of the early to mid 1800s had to think in terms of having enough for the winter. If you were caught short you found yourself tightening your belt, hunting and trapping all you could, or, shamefaced, asking your neighbor for help. (Remember your neighbor could be quite a distance away back then.)

A family who had done a good job of canning, pickling, smoking and storing would be able to eat the sorts of meals considered necessary for good health in those days. Winter fare was to be warming and heavier than meals for the other seasons.

Breakfast in the winters of the early to mid 1800s usually consisted of two of the following: corn bread, fresh baked bread (white, wheat, sourdough, potato, rusk, or sally lunn) or hot cakes. Toasted bread was not as common as just plain cold bread. Protein was called for, so one of the following was served: eggs (boiled and omelets were preferred), sausages, chops, or hash (usually beef ). To round out the meal would be something “hearty” such as stew (yes, for breakfast) or fried potatoes.

Dinner was more common than lunch and was served in the early afternoon as the main meal. It usually consisted of four to five main dishes plus dessert. Favorites were pepper pot, pea, or meat based soups, the favorites being beef, veal or mutton, a “joint” served with gravy, pickled meat (such as calves’ head), roast turkey or other poultry, boiled ham or mutton, stewed liver, cutlets (usually pork or veal), mutton, veal, pork, venison, goose or duck roast, fish, steak or a meat pie. By the early 1800s vegetable dish such as succotash, boiled onions in cream sauce, corn pudding and stewed carrots were found at each dinner.

Tomatoes and potatoes were available but were still “suspect”. Tomatoes, especially, were shunned by many due to their biological connection to the “Nightshade” plant. Boiled or fricasseed potatoes, rare at the beginning of the 1800s were common by 1853. It was normal to have three or four meat dishes and one vegetable dish. A main dish, such as turkey, could be served with a side dish (dressing, cranberry sauce,

• Residential • Commercial • Industrial

apple sauce) and still be considered one main dish. Desserts were puddings, pies, custards, stewed fruit, cookies and, mostly for special occasions, cake. Even by the mid 1800s chocolate desserts were almost unheard of.

Supper, served in the late evening was a much smaller meal and usually had three dishes, one of which could be leftovers from dinner. Aside from these, breads, stew (often made from combining several leftovers together), stewed fruit and “light cake” were often served.

Beverages served at each meal were the same. You could have tea, fruit wines (homemade) or ale as well as hot chocolate or coffee if you could get it at a store.

Water Treatment

{ home design inside and out } The Hotter the Summer, the Tougher the Weeds

merryfield electric, inc

This certainly has been a hot and dry summer where the only thing that grew without watering was the weeds. The weeds loved this heat and I am not certain how they got moisture but they grew vigorously! I have some strain of crab grass that is so tough; the brush hog only knocks it down but refuses to cut it.

I know what you are thinking; sharpen the blades dipstick, well I have, but mowing the weeds that have grown where my grass once grew is tough on my mower. I start out with sharp blades and by the time I am done cutting for the day, the last field looks like I rolled over it instead of cutting it. I need to find tougher blades.

This year I tried an experiment with my tomato plants. Here is what I did and the results.

In Europe, people put a clear roof over their tomatoes so no rain gets to them. They only water them after the leaves start to curl from lack of moisture, only watering the roots never the plant. I tried this with a few of my plants and I am amazed at the results. Those tomatoes are 1½ to 2 pounds and very meaty. They are the best tasting tomatoes I have ever grown and they have very little juice or seeds. I grew the same varieties without any cover and what little rain we got along with my daily watering produced mediocre results. I am convinced those Slovenians know a thing or two about growing tomatoes. I’ve just returned from that country and look forward to writing about my experiences in future issues.

I did learn something from my friend Roseann who grows a great garden every year. She told me to use the pre-emergence weed preventing granules around my plants and in my flower beds. I was amazed at how few weeds I had in my vegetable garden and flower beds.

That stuff really works, although it gets expensive if you have a large area to cover, like my fields. I wonder if there is a discount for purchasing by the ton?

Enveloped in Fabric

Got some fabric you simply adore, but can’t find any use for it other than in a couple of throw pillows? Why not turn it into wallpaper and starch it onto your walls?

Covering your walls with fabric is fairly easy. There are two methods to go about this. You can staple the fabric to the wall and cover the staples with ribbon, or you can take the less invasive approach and starch the fabric onto your walls. For the latter, you will need some fabric, scissors, a level, a pencil, some liquid starch, a roller and paint tray, a wallpaper brush, a utility knife and some flat blades and a sponge.

First, you will want to remove everything from the walls and clean them with soap and water. If the fabric is somewhat sheer, you may want to apply a coat of satin latex

paint in a complementary color onto the walls. That way, you won’t have to worry if the color of the walls shows through the fabric.

Once the walls are dry, measure them from top to bottom and cut several strips of fabric 4 to 6 inches longer. Then select a corner and mark a level vertical line. This will give you something to line up the first fabric panel against.

Fill up the paint tray with liquid starch and roll on a coat of starch in the area where the first panel will go. Turn the edges of the fabric panel under and press it into place, using the vertical line you drew earlier as a guide. Smooth out the fabric panel with your hands and apply another coat of starch on top of it to ensure it adheres to the wall.

Remove any wrinkles with a wallpaper brush, trim any excess fabric from the top and bottom with a utility knife, and wipe off any remaining starch with a sponge.

Repeat the process with the second panel, this time being careful that the edges of the fabric panels butt together to form a nice seam. Continue applying panels of fabric to the walls until you make it all the way around the room. Be careful when trimming out fabric for light switches. Turn off the power before making any cuts. When you have finished, let the fabric dry for several days before hanging any artwork.

That’s all there is to it. Once you get a feel for the technique, you will finish the room in no time. Before you know it, you’ll be enveloped in the fabric you adore.

The Trials of Being “Handyless”

By Nancy Huth Whenever and wherever my husband and I have moved (and we have moved often), we always pray that our next door neighbor will be a handyman or handywoman. Here in Middlefield we have lucked out – our next door neighbor has his own home inspection business. At least he can tell us what’s wrong even if he can’t fix it. Are you wondering what it’s like when both partners have only thumbs on both hands? It means that you keep the U.S. economy thriving because you have to pay someone to complete every little job.

Once we were unable to remove the burned-out, recessed light bulb above our kitchen counter. We had even gone to a lumber store to ask if there was a trick to it and were told no, there wasn’t, just unscrew it. After dropping and breaking the new bulb, we called a handyman who had advertised his services in a local newspaper. When the gentleman arrived in his small truck he looked to be over 90 and had a pronounced limp. With trepidation, we watched him climb up onto our kitchen counter, reach up and unscrew the bulb. We showered him with compliments and carefully helped him down, thankful we hadn’t needed to dial 9-1-1.

Each year when spring or fall rolls around, we devour articles on home improvement made easy. You know, those little do-it-yourself tasks that anybody can do? Sure! It is helpful to be in an area where Amish carpenters live. Their suspenders alone inspire confidence. It’s also encouraging for us to see so many pick-up trucks and vans, signs to us that the owner is a handy person.

A tool collection is another illustrative indicator of one’s “handy” abilities. When the handyman who built our deck saw our meager home improvement instruments, or lack thereof, he bought us a 10-in-one screwdriver with little interchangeable metal pieces. We have found uses for this item that no one could dream of.

While watching the Amish crew build our condo some years back, we tried to appear knowledgeable. They quickly figured out how clueless we were. When we’d ask why they were performing a certain task, their pet answer became, “because this is a very special house”. This response left us happy and feeling important.

The world has and needs all kinds of people – the handy and the “handyless”. We are there for one another. We complement each other. Wouldn’t you agree?

Disaster Preparedness A person does not have to live in northeast Ohio very long before it becomes apparent that electrical service to homes, businesses, and safety services can be interrupted all too easily. Heavy snow and ice storms, as well as violent thunderstorms, are common around Ashtabula and Geauga counties, a phenomenon that comes with being situated so close to the depths of Lake Erie.

When electricity is disrupted, it can takes hours or days for it to be restored in spite of the diligent efforts of utility workers.

What is you backup plan? We cannot tame the weather, but the GeneratorPros at Shepp Electric Co. can help to ensure that you are safe, warm and still in business no matter what unlikely disasters will occur.

Craig and his team of 10 employees install GENERAC automatic stand-by power generators for customers who are tired of babysitting their portable generator or pulling out the candles and bailing out the basement every time there is an outage.

There is never a lack of demand for the sorts of GENERAC generators that Shepp Electric provides - a fact that has helped the company thrive for over 25 years now.

western Pennsylvania,” Craig said, and this is one Geauga County businessman who racks up the mileage to show it. “We literally install a system or two every day.”

With over 1,400 systems installed and serviced, hundreds have benefited from the GeneratorPros for quality service and standby power expertise.

Besides homes, the company has installed back-up generators at countless fire departments, police stations, nursing facilities; businesses where electrical service is not just a convenience, but a necessity.

Shepp Electric is an Ohio State-licensed, full service electrical contracting company that has specialized in stand-by power systems for the past 23 years and is the area’s #1 GENERAC® “Elite” Warranty dealer and installer. Products offered include a complete stock of GENERAC automatic stand-by generators – up to 100kW. Business owners especially are very concerned about loss. Craig notes, “Compared to the expense of lost revenue and inventory spoilage, an automatic standby genset is a bargain that will provide years of reliable service. It is truly a smart investment for home or business. You don’t have to live without power.”

In order to assist you with making the right stand-by power investment, we strongly advise you to consult with the area’s #1 GENERAC® “Elite” Warranty service dealer and installer, Shepp Electric Company, Inc., who will conduct a free site survey and electrical load analysis in order to recommend the best size and placement of the system, whether home or business.

An autumn tip ... Older, seasoned firewood should now be ready for use after sitting for the spring and summer.

It’s recommended to keep the firewood at least 30 feet from the house and covered. Seasoned wood is best for fires, as it burns cleaner and longer.

Humane societies in our region feel so strongly about the need to help black cats that they’re teaming up this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5 and 6 for the “Everything Goes with Black” cat adoption promotion and are waiving the adoption fee for one black cat per household (one year old and up)! Black cats are the most likely to be overlooked by potential adopters, leaving them to spend more time in shelter cages and rescue group foster homes than other cats. Adopt a black cat from the Geauga Humane Society’s Rescue Village, 15463 Chillicothe Road, Russell Township.

Questions, call 440-338-4819 extension 10 or visit www.geaugahumane.org.
