Middlefield Post 5-03-2023

Event organizer Dave Patterson said the annual brunch is a very special time for producers to get together and share stories of the season, as well as honor their fellow producers in the maple award.

It’s the reason maple producer Tom Salo’s phone did not stop ringing following the announcement he was grand champion of the Producer Class.

“It is an honor to be grand champion,” said Salo, who owns Salo Maple Products in Montville Township. “This is something I thought I would never win because it is always like splitting hairs with the scoring process. To have a perfect score of 100 points is hard to do.”

Holy said the grand champion syrup checked every box — density, clarity, color and fantastic taste.

“It was scored a perfect 100 points, the only one in the entire competition and first time a dark sample was ever crowned grand champion,” Holy said. “He submitted a perfect representation sample of the grade.”

Holy, owner of Seldom Seen Farm in Montville Township, said judges had a tough time this year as all the syrup entries were fantastic, and more syrup than not was lighter in color than last year.

High School Job Fair May 5

Cardinal High School in Middlefield will host the Geauga County High Schools Career Exploration and Job Fair on May 5 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The hiring and career exploration event is open to all local Geauga County high schools and home school students.

The job fair is tailored to benefit students looking for full time, part time, summer/ seasonal jobs, as well as internships and apprenticeships throughout Geauga County.

“I have traveled to most all maple producing states and into Canada, and have made several friends over the years and have learned a lot from them, as well as a large variety of local schools that are offered in the off-season,” Salo said.

His interest in maple syrup production began as kid while he was on a field trip to Hale Farm and Village, where he experienced his first maple syrup operation.

“Years later, I started working for Geauga Park District where part of the job was the maple operation at Swine Creek Reservation,” Salo said. “The next year, I started my operation here in Montville with a small pan and the maple addiction started.”

He expressed gratitude to all his “awesome” mentors over the years.

The event’s 2023 Certificate of Appreciation went to Helen Gilmore — an artist who does portrait sketches of hall of fame recipients that are displayed in the Patterson Center on the Geauga County Fairgrounds.

“Helen is a true treasure to the hall of fame,” Patterson said.

Jen Freeman had her portrait inducted into the 2023 hall of fame

“Jen is incredible,” Holy said. “She contributes so much volunteer

volved in every aspect of the Geauga County Maple Festival.

“Jen does it all,” Patterson said. “I have personally worked with her for many years and I know her excitement and dedication to everything maple.”

Freeman serves as Richards Maple Products president, Ohio Maple Producers Association president, co-chair of the Geauga County Maple Festival’s lumberjack contest, Geauga County Maple Festival director, delegate for the North American Maple Syrup Council and an alternate for the international Maple Syrup Institute.

“This was not an honor I was expecting,” Freeman said. “I am humbled, excited and overwhelmed. I was at the Patterson Center not too long ago, looking at pictures of past inductees — truly a moment of feeling accomplished.”

She could recall a moment when maple has not been a part of her life.

“I was born into a maple family during the maple festival,” Freeman said. “My destiny was predetermined.”

Her young son, Jaiden, clung by his mom’s side throughout the event.

“I am hoping Jaiden will want to take over later in life,” Freeman

work too much, but she has big and meaningful goals.

“I’m hoping my son is watching me, seeing that you have to work hard for what you want,” Freeman said. “Also, that the world is bigger than yourself. Volunteering and service to others makes it a better place.”

Salo recalled a time he would never forget in 2020.

“I was four hours from tapping and I got my call informing me that I would be going on chemo,” Salo said. “I contacted the other Montville producers and told them what was up and they all said if I can get the sap to them, they would boil it for me.”

“Thanks Kevin, Chris and Carl for helping out in a crazy time,” Salo added.

He noted other times he worked together with other producers, borrowing tools and supplies, or helping move logs or downed trees.

Salo said he tries to pay it forward by mentoring with Hershey Montessori farm school for several years and has enjoyed helping several backyard producers get started.

“I have placed several times over the years, but being the grand champion is something I never thought I would get,” Salo said.

Over 50 employers will be participating and representing industries in Geauga County, including automotive, childcare, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, education, recreation, government and food/retail.

In addition, all branches of the United States military and several local colleges and tech schools will be onsite.

The job fair is a collaboration between OhioMeansJobs –Geauga County, Cardinal Local School District, the ESC of the Western Reserve and the Village of Middlefield.

For more information, call the OhioMeansJobs Geauga Career Center at 440-285-1116.

Faith Matters How’s Your Outlook?

Do you tend to see the possibilities in life, or more the obstacles? Your outlook is often the key to your actions. If you focus on the problems and challenges of reaching a goal or completing a task, you often lose motivation to move forward. As a result, your dreams evaporate into wishful thinking, without realization.

As I pursue ministry opportunities or even work projects around home, I sometimes doubt myself. The job at hand looks too big, too onerous (like weeding my strawberries!) or beyond my expertise.

However, as I get started, ask God for wisdom, break the work into segments, or even take a look at You Tube, I make progress. My confidence grows that I can complete the task at hand. Doubt and procrastination, however, get me nowhere.

ever, there was a big problem. The people dwelling in the land were strong and intimidating, like giants. In fact, they were so big, they made the spies feel like grasshoppers. Ten of the spies agreed, it would be a huge mistake to try to conquer the land.

That set off a wave of fear and discontent among the whole community of Israel. They wept, protested and imagined a worst case scenario for their wives and families should Israel go into Canaan.

By Roger Kruse

There are times when things don’t go well, despite my best efforts. When I reach an impasse, my frustration level goes up. It’s easy to get bogged down when negative thinking dominates. Those are the moments when what I really need is for the Lord to intervene. If I am smart . . . I ask God to help me.

That reminds me of when Moses sent 12 spies to explore the land of Canaan. They came back with samples of the fruit from the land described as “flowing with milk and honey.” The size and abundance of the grapes, pomegranates and figs were amazing. How-

However, there were two other spies who had a very a different outlook. Instead of focusing on the giants, Joshua and Caleb believed God’s promise to help them. They had the confidence of faith, trusting that the Lord would go before them and give them victory. Instead of giving way to fear, they chose to be put their faith in the God who had already supernaturally delivered them from the armies of Egypt as they crossed the Red Sea. Joshua and Caleb had a boldness, that was squarely rooted in their faith in God.

Tragically, the pervasive, dominating fear and unbelief of the larger community won the day. The result was 40 years of wandering in the desert wilderness. Only much later did Joshua and Caleb have the joy of participating in God’s miraculous mission of taking over the Promised Land.

How about you? Think about a situation in your life where you are facing a challenge. How’s your outlook? Are you fearful, frustrated or even ready to give up? Will negative thoughts bog you down into inactivity or stalemate? Will stubbornness and hardness of heart keep you from new and better things?

What if you took a step of faith and asked God to make a way? Those who trust in the Lord will not be disappointed. Push your fears aside and let the Lord show you what He can do!

Roger Kruse lived seven years in India and Indonesia. Here at home he has pastored churches, coached athletic teams and, with his wife, raised five children (one severely disabled). His faith in God keeps him full of hope and confident in God’s goodness.

This is a photo of Middlefield’s first and only movie theater. It was located where CINDA’S RESTAURANT is now located. On the marquee you can read where the theater was advertising a “Bank Night.” Bank Night was a form of lottery used to promote the film industry. It started in the 1930s, when The Great Depression made some consumers reluctant to spend money on frivolities like movies.

On Bank Night, people could go to the theater and put their names in for a lottery of prizes. Technically, no purchase was necessary, but many people did buy movie tickets,

place during intermission.

As names were pulled, people had to hustle up to the stage in a certain amount of time to claim their prizes or risk forfeiting them. Prizes ranged from consumer good to cash. The photo was probably taken in 1952.

Middlefield’s one-time movie theater, the MU-MAC was located where Cinda’s Restaurant is currently. Ken Mumaw and his fatherin-law, Dr. G. W. McIlroy, built the theater in the late 1940s. The theater’s name was a combination of the two last names of these individuals. It lasted about 15 years, until 1962, when it was purchase by Clarence Lorson and his wife, Maude. They renovated the building and moved her business, Middlefield

Coffee Break with Sue

By susaN yodeR middlefeild towNship

Hello to all readers.

Had a beautiful day today. We just received word that cousin (Bert) Edna Mae Hershberger passed away, having had complications from open heart surgery. She was 71. Besides her husband, she leaves behind seven children, including 49-year-old Andrew, who is deaf, and 35-year-old Debbie, who has Down’s syndrome, and numerous grandchildren. The family’s address is 3621 Rice Road, Orwell, OH 44076.

Excluded in my last letter were three cousins who had also been at Betsy Day at my mom’s: Mel Fannie, and her sister Emma J. Byler and Martha A. Byler.

We enjoyed out April visiting night at (Sonny) Mattie Detweiler, also joining us were Chester and Katie, Mark and Karen, where Mattie has her nice little shop house,

Message from the Mayor

also Mattie’s daughter Mark Susan.

Several schools had pet day recently where the children may bring their animals.

Granddaughter first-grader Bethany took her 4-year-old sister Lauren with rabbit ears on as her pet. I guess the children and teachers also got some smiles out of the antics of a certain cat or was it the owner, Milan Yoder? This was at Sugar Valley School.

At Sawmill Lane School, teacher Arlene almost had more excitement than she bargained for as one of the boys escaped serious injuries due to a runaway pony and a barbed wire fence, a runaway banty rooster, a kitten sought refuge under a storage shed and a freshly laid egg just for the teacher! Smiles among other antics, I’m sure. Granddaughter Grace made sure her pet wouldn’t run away . . . she took a goldfish.

‘Til next time… Think more of others and you will be blessed.

Ramblings from Windsor

By Ruth BylaR middlefeild towNship

Good morning to my friends in Geauga County. Seems like quite a while since I last wrote, so I’ll see what I can get on paper.

Baby Kevin was welcomed by Ches and Malinda Miller, and big sister Joanna this week. I bet she is so excited :) Grands are Racki Dan’s Chester’s and Sam’s Jrs.

Baby Bethany was welcomed by Danny and Erma Erb, their first. Her grands are Roy Erbs and Noah Hershberger’s.

Baby Noah Ray was welcomed by Melvin Ray and Miriam Miller. His grands are Aaron and Linda Miller, and John and Betz Miller.

Thursday, April 20: Jamie Fisher and mom drove down to visit Rach and I at work. It was the biggest surprise I had since the night the girls woke me in the middle of a dream. But this was a good surprise.

Saturday, April 22: Robert (19) and Andrew (9) decided to chase the beautiful rainbow overhead tonight. All they wanted to do

was touch it. I surely thought they would be smarter than all that, but they were chasing their dreams I guess. And I must admit it did look as if you could.

Sunday, April 23: Danny and Lori were here for supper, probably the last time before they’re married. Dads were, too. Grandpa and Grandma, grandma has her boot off now.

Tuesday, April 25: Amanda’s last day of school. And she made sure everyone knew. The school of life is much more difficult, though. Sometimes I’d just like to go back to school as long as they wouldn’t make me do math. :)

Wednesday, April 26: Wayne Lyn And I drove out to the chiropractor tonight. It would have been over a 3-hour wait, so we just came back home after eating at A & W.

I realize this is a very news-less letter. I don’t know why I’m even sending it in.

‘Til next time . . . “Be yourself everyone else is already taken.”

Hello Middlefield Village Residents:

As we move forward from winter to hopefully spring, almost the first of May and still seeing occasional snow flurries, we are ready to switch gears from winter requirements to spring and summer tasks. Fortunately, if you have an attitude toward winter like mine, we did not receive much snow this year, and the normal overtime and salt expenses were greatly reduced not to mention the wear and tear on equipment.

This month, we were able to resurface north Springdale and complete a major repair on Sperry Lane, pour, much overdue and needed, new concrete steps to the baseball fields on Sperry Lane, refurbish the Girl Scout Lodge and the largest project of obtaining new sources for water is progress ing.

As we’ve seen the growth of our Village, we are keenly aware we need to ensure our facilities and workforce need to support existing and future quality growth. Our succession planning has resulted in some new hires earmarked to be the future Village team that ensures quality service to our residents and business. We look forward to their growth in becoming experts in their respective areas as they replace the current expertise in the future.

The Village had developed a plan to financially partner with Village business to make aesthetic improvements to their facilities.

This, in conjunction with our long-standing plan to partner with residents to help with external residential improvements, has made a tremendous difference in many residents and businesses within our Village. This has been money well spent. To date, 25 businesses have applied and received some financial assistance with their improvement projects.

We appreciate everyone who makes an effort and invests in our community to assist in improvement. I encourage all Village entities to take pride in their homes and establishments to create a Village of which we can all be proud.

We are currently into our second year of construction on state Route 608 north. Although the work is outside the Village, I know it impacts many of you. This construction is to aid in safer travel for Amish buggies and cars. This project is a result of the township and Village request to provide buggy lanes on the east and west side of the road from Nauvoo Road to Burton Windsor.

I was initially surprised at the speed the project got off the ground, but never dreamt it would be a two-plus-year project. I ask for your patience, but assure you when completed it will be a win-win for all travelers regardless of mode of transportation.

Be informed, be involved, exercise your right to vote, shop Middlefield and visit www. middlefieldohio.com.

Mayor Ben Garlich
