ngela Hart visits her family in a small town near Naples, Italy called Ripalimosani on an annual basis. Emigrating with her parents, Angela arrived in the United States when she was eight years old along with her sister. Originally Angiolina, when they moved her name was shortened to Angela. “People just call me Angie,” she says with a smile. Her father was a bricklayer by trade and the youngest of 10 children. Angela is still able to visit her childhood home, which has remained in the family. When the family moved, there was quota system in place that required invitation from family already living in the United States. Angela’s aunts and uncles had previously emigrated and established citizenship. Her father moved the family in the hopes that his

Angela Hart, (center) saw Pope Francis in Rome, recently. Craig (left), Angela and Eric Hart of Buckeye Chocolates children would be able to pursue better opportunities in the United States. Though many from her family moved, much of her family remains in Italy, and she recently visited with her 95-year-old aunt whom she describes as “Still very alert. She has a better memory than I do and reads without glasses. I hope I’m that sharp when I’m her age!” she laughs. Every time she goes to visit her family in Italy, she visits Rome, and though having visited the Vatican many times, she says, “I had never had the opportunity to see the Pope. Every time I went, he was not in Rome. And so this year, it just so happened I was able to catch him while he was in Rome.” Pope Francis holds a papal audience every Wednesday, which she was able to attend on August 5th. The Pope entered the large auditorium, addressed visitors in
a myriad of languages, and spoke about Church matters.” There was no fee or ticket to see him. He believes everyone should be able to visit,” she explains. “My friends and I went and waited at seven in the morning, and though we made it inside, we noticed that we could wait where he had come inside from where his car was parked and were able to get very close and take photographs.” Angela describes the scene, “We could tell he was coming, from the roar of the crowd. He’s a very compassionate and humble man. He loves everyone and everyone loves him. I was awestruck to be in his presence.” Angela is mother to Eric and Craig Hart, owners and operators of the Buckeye Chocolate company located in Middlefield. Continued on Page 9

The MU-MAC theater was located on South State Avenue in the building now occupied by Jennifer’s Hair Obsession. It was constructed in the early 1940s and operated for only about 20 years, closing in the early 1960s. Two Middlefield businessmen, Ken Mumaw and his father-inlaw G. W. McIlroy built the theater, and used the first syllable of their last names to name it. This picture was probably taken in the middle 1950s after the refreshment and frozen custard stand was added on. The refreshment stand later became todays Linda’s Restaurant. The theater was also used as a place of worship for St. Lucy’s Mission until their present building was built.
Here is an inside view of the Mu Mac. When this writer was a kid, many a summer Saturday mornings were spent here due to the kindness of local Middlefield businesses. You would visit the store sometime during the week and get a special card stamped with the participating merchant’s name. Then on Saturday morning, you would take your stamped card to the theater and it was good for free admission to a cartoon or kids movie show. At the end of summer, there would be a drawing for a free girls and boys bike. In later years, the theater hosted a local radio show, Middlefield on Parade that was emceed by two local residents, Garland Shetler and Glen Rynearson.

orking in tourism I do a fair amount of traveling, never anywhere too exotic and mostly around Ohio. I guess that makes me comfortable plugging in the GPS, jumping in the car and just getting somewhere. So I’m always amazed by the visitors that call us to plan their trip out to the country and want to know every detail that they should plan for. When I ask where they are traveling from, I often hear “Cleveland” or “one of the Cleveland suburbs.” It seems they believe anything east of Route 91 is vast wilderness. Looking back when I was a kid, we would visit my great aunt in Oberlin and it seemed like that drive was days long. In those days – before you could just hop on a freeway – the topic of discussion amongst the men after we arrived was always “which route everyone took.” Now as I make my way around the state and pass the Oberlin exit it feels like I’m getting close to home.

In November, an original play “The Star on My Heart”, written by Ohio writer and theater director Angela MiloroHansen, will premiere in northeast Ohio. The play is based on the true story of Holocaust survivor Inge Auerbacher. Of the 15,000 children imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp, Inge is one of the few who survived. This is a story of rare courage, determination and love. Inge, in spite of the hardships she endured, gives proof that the joy in life cannot be kept out of even the darkest places. “The Star on My Heart” is an independent project in collaboration with Shore Cultural Centre in Euclid, and Geauga Lyric Theater Guild (GLTG) in Chardon. Shore Cultural Centre was fortunate to have received an Ohio Arts Council grant towards a portion of expenses for this meaningful

I guess it’s all relative as we get older, wiser, more tired. Some days a meeting in Chardon seems far away. Of course living in northeast Ohio (the snowbelt) also plays a major role in travel at times. I was working with a tour company from Florida that had not yet visited our area, but was interested in bringing a group to a summer event. As I spoke to her on the phone she pulled up the Ohio map on her computer, and realized we were located in the snowbelt. She then decided she wouldn’t go that far north because of the weather. When I told her it usually wasn’t an issue in August her comment was, “I’d still rather not risk it.” The best news is you are already here, and for (hopefully) a few more weeks we can travel about without the risk of snowbelt issues. So be sure to get out there and enjoy the beauty of fall in Geauga County. There are still plenty of wonderful events centered around fall activities. If you need help in finding something to do be sure to check out our website, www.DestinationGeauga.com for event listings.

Cardinal Wins at Fairport Cardinal’s revolving door of injured and healthy players continued, but the Huskies managed to pull out a 36-13 win at Fairport Harding. Kyle Simms picked up where Nate Peters, who was out with an illness, left off. Simms rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns and Jimmy Wilcox pitched in with 107 yards on 15 carries with two scores. “We could have been sharper just in our execution, but we got the job done,” said Cardinal coach Eric Cardinal. “It was not as sharp or as clean of a game as I want to see but at the same time we got three or four guys that got their first meaningful time and still got a ‘W.’ Anytime you can get some guys playing time like that and get a ‘W’ you have to be happy.” With Peters out, Simms and Wilcox led the Huskies to 335 rushing yards on 41 carries. The Huskies had three big running plays negated by penalty. “Kyle Simms had a nice game and we had a couple of plays that were negated from three wide receiver holds. We lost another 100 yards or so on kind of meaningless penalties,” Cardinal said. “Wilcox was the victim of another 20-25 yards on a penalty. He played very well on offense for us and was quick to the hole. He went from being a part-time guy two days ago to a guy that I don’t think came off the field.” Last week, Wilcox had a big rushing day in the JV game. That carried over into
Friday, Oct. 2 night’s varsity contest. “It’s a different deal than playing that much on a Saturday morning,” Cardinal said. “Two days ago he was hoping he was going to run the fullback pitch on Saturday morning after having like 150 yards against Cuyahoga Heights last week. Then he came out and ran for 100 in the varsity game. You have to be happy with a guy like that.” After forcing a Fairport Harding turnover on the Skippers’ second play from scrimmage, Wilcox broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run with 11:25 left to play in the opening quarter. Simms scored on a 30-yard run four minutes later to make it 12-0. The Skippers returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown but the Huskies ended the first quarter with a safety to make it 14-6. Simms scored on a 19-yard run and Wilcox added a 3-yard score in the second quarter to give Cardinal a 30-6 lead at the half. Simms made it 36-6 with his 27-yard run in the third quarter and Fairport closed out the scoring with a 24-yard touchdown pass in the fourth. The Huskies have improved to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the Chagrin Valley Conference. “What we have to do is get these other guys back so we can have everybody back at the same time rather than have this revolving door,” Cardinal said. “We have a big one this week to get ready for. We have to roll up our sleeves and get back to work.” (MP Article/Ohio Varsity Sports)
CHS September Students of the Month Congratulations to the Cardinal High School Student of the Month, Senior Kathryn D. Kathryn is an excellent student and has recently begun volunteering during lunch periods with the STARS unit to help them set up their coffee shop to raise money. She has expressed interest in becoming a Moderate to Severe Intervention Specialist. Congratulations to the Cardinal High School Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) Student of the Month, Harry W. Harry has taken on the challenge of chemistry this year. He is working extremely hard in the class and also coming in during enrichment to seek help. He is a kind student, always willing to help others and he follows rules and procedures. Harry has gone above and beyond to volunteer his own time to be involved weekly as the Cardinal Huskie Mascot.
Students Stretch, Tap, and Write to Practice Sounds
Kindergartner, Sydney L., works on her letters and sounds during a classroom exercise in Mrs. Derecskey’s class.
Kindergarten pups are hard at work this year learning their letters and the sounds they make. Students in Mrs. Derecskey’s class recently completed an in-class exercise where they stretched, tapped, and wrote sounds out. Students have learned letters b, t, and f through the Foundations Program, and as an extension they are identifying words that begin with the focus letter/sound. Teacher Ashley Derecskey said, “Students who know most of their letters and sounds are practicing stretching words to hear all the sounds, tapping out to identify how many sounds are in a particular word, then writing the sounds that they hear and know. It’s super fun, super engaging and we continue to add to our charts when we think of new words.”
Students in Mr. Sherman’s fifth grade class “sign” a petition as part of a classroom lesson on Constitution Day.
A Special Thanks to Urban Growers for the $700 Donation from their Spring Plant Fundraiser!
Middle School Students Take a Stand On Sept. 17, the fifth graders in Mr. Sherman’s class celebrated Constitution Day in a lesson titled, “To Sign, or Not to Sign.” Students were asked whether they agree with the following statement: “Effective Sept. 17, 2015, schools will close every year in honor of Constitution Day.” Teacher Joe Sherman said, “Most students were happy to sign, but why? What does it mean that you signed or didn’t sign it? The students learned about the “Power of a Signature.” Signing is a statement of your behalf. It is a willingness to take a stand and risk your reputation. When the delegates of the 1787 Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution, they were taking a stand and risking their own reputations. Citizens today do the same thing when they sign a petition.”

Churches Together Serving Others You probably have already seen the banners, or read the church signs: “Come, Join the Movement and Serve Others -- GO DAY 2015” If you haven’t, look for the orange squares; and look for people working and helping in Middlefield and the surrounding areas on Saturday Oct. 17. And look for hundreds of Christians from many churches gathering to worship together in the Cardinal High School Gym on Sunday October 18 at 10 a.m. So what is this all about? It’s about churches in Middlefield and Huntsburg and Burton not worried about just their own buildings and worship styles. It’s about Christians saying it is time to be Christians together and serve the community around us. It’s about going outside the church walls and being Jesus to the community. It is called GO DAY, a weekend for the church to go and serve, to go and be the church. That will show itself as work teams will scatter the area and do big and little jobs for people who need it on Saturday. And watch for something new this year. Other teams are going out and cleaning trash along the roads through Middlefield, praying as they go. Then Sunday will bring a time of worship and the Bible and Communion at 10 a.m. in the Cardinal High gym. Check out the website at www.thechurchunites.com. Look at some of the churches involved. And come, join the movement.

Parish Community of
SS Edward and Lucy Meet Claire and Kay Zurbuch Claire and Kay Zurbuch are long-time members of St. Lucy Mission and have been since marrying and moving to Geauga County from the Akron Area in 1973. Claire and Kay have two adult children and three grandchildren. “A main reason why I am active at SS. Edward and Lucy Parish is because of what happened 35 years ago,” says Claire. “Kay asked me to attend a men’s renewal event held in Lake County, where we men looked deeply into why we believe in God. I was a little reluctant to go because the Browns had a football game that weekend that I was going to miss. I went and got to know the men at SS. Edward and Lucy Parish very well and why they held their religion so highly. When I came back on Sunday evening, I did not ask how the Browns did but instead told Kay that my roots were now deeply planted in this area and in this church. It changed my life! “ Kay taught at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin High School for 25 years and at St. Lucy Parish School of Religion for 13 years. Claire is an active member of the community, volunteering with the Samaritan Society, an outreach program for those in need. Those looking for volunteer opportunities can connect with like-minded people at SS. Edward and Lucy Parish. Both currently enjoy being lectors and Eucharistic ministers at the church. “Easily more than half of our members are getting involved in our volunteer organizations,” says Claire. The Zurbuchs find members of SS. Edward and Lucy Parish kind, warm and supportive, as well as a great source of lasting friendships. Recounts Claire, “We’ve watched the church grow, and we love the area. At one time, the church was surrounded by farmland.” Claire remembered a time when a horse on the loose seen through the windows interrupted a service. “We went out to help catch it with the farmer, and we were able to resume service,” he recalled with a chuckle. For those new to the parish, SS. Edward and Lucy Parish can be an inviting place. “We see new people come in all the time. We don’t put you on the spot, everyone here is friendly and welcoming,” says Kay, “From the very beginning, we’ve never felt like strangers.”

Shop with a Purpose was started by two moms who had a passion to make a difference in the lives of hurting women and children in desperate situations. They became aware of a number of different Christian organizations that were actively doing something to help these women and children. God laid it on their hearts to partner with these organizations and help raise funds as well as awareness about them. And thus, Shop with a Purpose was born. It may be impossible for you to go to Africa or Asia and physically help women and children who are in poverty, prostitution, or human trafficking. But it is not impossible for you to do something to help. When you buy an item at Shop with a Purpose, all of the money goes directly to that organization. There will be 10 different organizations represented at Shop with a Purpose this year and there will be a wide variety of items available for purchase, everything from bags, clothes, toys, and ornaments to coffee, jewelry, home baked items, and baskets. There is something for everyone. Shop with a Purpose will be held Nov. 21 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the American Legion in Burton. For questions or more

At Last, Seeing the Pope Continued from Page 1 Angela helps in the office a few days a week and is retired from her career as a legal assistant. Buckeye Chocolates started in 2004, when brothers Brian, Eric and Craig were operating a company with their father Dennis Hart, selling wholesale chocolate from manufacturers and decided to begin making chocolates themselves. Beginning in Newbury, the brothers have grown the brand to become nationally distributed company, housed alongside another family-owned company Nectar of the Vine. Their product range has also expanded, encompassing everything from gourmet fudge to roasted nuts, peanut brittle, and wine Frappe, an unusual treat made with special mix and wine for a tasty, fruity slushy. In addition to distributing treats, the company has opened a chocolate cafe in Middlefield, with a second currently being outfitted and scheduled to open in
late October on Water Street in Chardon, occupying the building formerly housing Arabica. The cafe will feature chocolates, Caruso and custom blend coffees, and a gourmet breakfast and lunch menu that includes sandwiches, salads, crepes, bagels, and more in a contemporary setting with drive-through and patio. “I’m excited about the café,” Eric smiled, having just returned from a Michigan trade show. The brothers have a keen eye for promotion, attending Art Shows, Trade Shows, and other events throughout the country, expanding national distribution from their local company and continuing to showcase a generation-spanning ability to make the most of opportunity. Be sure to visit and watch for more information on their Grand Opening in Chardon. For more information on Buckeye Chocolate’s products, visit their cafe at 15065 Kinsman Road in Middlefield, or order online at www.buckeyechocolate. com..

I
n the process of reading a book, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” (wish I wrote it) one part reads: “Bloat is perhaps the most serious thing that can go wrong with a ruminant [cow] on corn. The fermentation in the rumen produces copious amounts of gas, which is normally expelled by belching during rumination. But when the diet contains too much starch and too little roughage, rumination all but stops, and a layer of foamy slime forms in the rumen that can trap the gas. The rumen inflates like a balloon until it presses against the animal’s lungs.” A concentrated diet of corn can also give a cow acidosis. Unlike our [normal human] highly acid stomachs, the normal pH of a rumen is neutral. Corn renders it acidic causing a kind of bovine heartburn that in some cases can kill the animal, but usually just makes him [them] sick. The condition can lead to diarrhea, ulcers, bloat, rumenitis, liver disease, and a general weakening of the immune system that leaves the animal vulnerable to the full panoply of feedlot diseases – pneumonia, coccidiosis and enterotoxemia or toxic gut. I asked veterinarian Dr. Mel what would happen if drugs were banned from cattle feed. “We’d have a high death rate and poorer performing cattle. We just couldn’t feed them as hard.” The whole system would have to change – and slow down. “Hell, if you gave them lots of grass and space, I wouldn’t have a job.” Holy cow! You think you are eating beef? For that matter when it comes to food from the grocer produced en mass, you think you’re eating vegetables? The only way industrial cows survive is with probiotics (not natural to grazing cows) put into the rumin and copious amounts of antibiotics. On the other end, the only way industrial produce grows is with KPN (potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen – plant hormone for sterile soil). The cow symptoms are the same as human symptoms, yet
in humans they are normal or treatable with copious amounts of probiotics and antibiotics. Humans require an acidic stomach (not neutral) for optimal digestion, immune function, and health. When humans eat inappropriately, they look and feel not right. It’s not that they look wrong or ill, they simply look not right. It isn’t normal for humans to eat what real cows eat (grass) as we have neither a rumin nor rumin bacteria. In like respect, it is not normal for humans to eat un-natural, which is the way feed cows eat in an industrial pen. Extrapolating upon Dr Mel’s statement, if humans ate natural to their evolutionary development, they would require a lot more land (upon which we would necessarily work long and hard physical hours planting, maintaining, herding, and harvesting), access fast convenient food (anything not from the land we own) less than once per month, a single meal at most, and doctors and institutional medicine would not quite completely collapse. The rate of disease, morbidity, infirmity, sickness would drastically reduce. As long as humans eat what is unnatural to their evolutionary development, more government controls become necessary to maintain the lowest level of illness as our best goal because the rate of disease, morbidity, infirmity, sickness and the need for health care interventions would all increase dramatically, as evidenced by the state of the union we now enjoy. Here’s the problem; unless you farm we don’t know how to fix this. There are authorities telling us how to eat (Atkins, Paleo, Vegan, Bible, South Beach, ad nauseum) and none of them are right. Not that they are wrong, but they all use the same industrial food supply. The biggest money maker in the world goes to anyone that can develop a solution that will address each person’s unique DNA.
