Well-known artist and muralist Bob Dasher didn’t know what he was getting into last summer when he agreed to paint one wall of The Hardwood Lumber Company’s building along the Maple Highlands Trail in Burton Station. What started Sept. 8 as a short project for the 70-year-old Cleveland native became the largest mural he has painted in his 50 years of colorful creativity. Dasher and the company’s owner, Steve Trudic, met each other when Julie Pettica, who works at THLC on the Burton Windsor Road, introduced them. Pretty soon, the idea blossomed to cover several buildings that run parallel to the bike trail. “We said ‘Why not do the whole thing?’” Dasher said during a recent phone interview. “It ended up being the biggest job I’ve ever done.” The mural spreads out over 150 feet of concrete walls and the three-dimensional forest with rocks and huge trees of untraceable lineage beckons to bike riders as they come into view. “It stops riders dead in their tracks. They stand in awe,” Pettica said, recalling many hopping off their bikes to chat with Dasher as he worked steadily for 20 days with a paint roller. “It’s whimsical

and charming.” Trudic had an Amish painter put the primer coat on the buildings. Otherwise, to his dismay, Dasher became a one-man show. When he and Trudic first discussed the mural, Dasher expected his long-time friend and partner, John Beukman, help him. Beukman, 70, was head porter
at the Cleveland Museum of Art and hung all the displays there for years, besides being a recognized artist and illustrator, Dasher said. They had worked together before and had agreed to do so in September. But they had just gotten started when Beukman had a minor See Mural • Page 8
Hornets Sting Huskies to Claim District Title By Haley Adams sports@geaugamapleleaf.com The Huskies volleyball team hasn’t won a district title in 24 years.

By Rick Seyer 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-in-law, 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 today’s Cinda’s Restaurant. The theater also was used as a place of worship for St. Lucy’s Catholic Church until their present building was built. Stan Robertson, who was the manager of the theater at the time, gave me my first job at age 12. He hired me to sweep out the theater after the previous night’s movie. I did it after school and on weekends. I don’t even remember getting paid, but I could watch all the movies for free and get all the frozen custard from the concession stand that I wanted for free. I thought then that it was the best job in the world.
Here is an inside view of the MU-MAC. When this writer was a kid, many a summer Saturday morning was spent here due to the kindness of local Middlefield merchants. 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.

After prayer and fasting, Esther stepped out in faith to go before the king. The result was the rescue of God’s people and defeat of their enemies. To this day, the feast of Purim is celebrated, remembering Queen Esther and God’s great deliverance. These two examples involve famous biblical characters. However, there are many unnamed persons in the Bible that were indispensable in the doing of God’s work. How about Pharaoh’s daughter who found baby Moses in a basket along the Nile river and paved the way for his rescue and eventual role of leading God’s people out of bondage? Don’t forget the outcast woman at the well that met Jesus and became a link of great blessing to her entire village. Do you remember the young boy who offered his lunch to Jesus? The Lord multiplied the five loaves and two fish, and it was more than enough to feed over 5,000 people! I love the story of the men who carried the paralyzed man. They lowered him through the roof, Jesus healed him, and he went home praising God. How might God use your life to be a blessing to others? Every day is a new opportunity to be an instrument in His hands. You don’t need to be perfect, just available. Offer yourself to Jesus and let Him direct you. An Englishman, C.T. Studd wisely said, “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” Use your talents and gifts to serve the Lord. There is no greater joy. Roger Kruse was a shy boy who discovered that God makes all the difference!

Rather than abandon THLC, Dasher decided to go it alone. Some of the buildings are a couple of stories high. The mural flows over pipes, behind a chain link fence and around corners, appearing to go on forever. “I can’t do much ladder work any more. It was all brush and roller,” he said. “It was really very challenging. When I was done, I was exhausted.” Despite a very rainy Labor Day, Dasher had excellent warm, dry weather while he was working and the gigantic trees and rocks

Pettica had urged Trudic to meet with Dasher, who is the father of one of her good friends. “Stephen has a very artistic spirit. He loves to bring in the brightest and best local artists in the Cleveland area to spruce up his companies,” she said. “I approached Stephen one day and told him, ‘Bob Dasher is an amazing muralist, put him to use in any way you can imagine.’” Considering Dasher’s reputation and accomplishments, Trudic approved the idea and called the artist right away. “Before we knew it, Mr. Dasher made his way from his new home in Georgia to his hometown Cleveland to not only spend time with his grandchildren, but to singlehandedly create this masterpiece,” Pettica said. ”Stephen is extremely excited about this new, beautiful and enchanting addition to his company.” Dasher signed the mural and is safely back home for the winter. “I’m in Georgia and, right now, I’m not looking to paint any more giant murals in Ohio,” he quipped.

Buddies Join Students For Lunch
Bring a favorite teddy bear or other stuffed animal to lunch day is always a favorite at Jordak Elementary School. Each year, students are invited to bring their favorite stuffed animal to school with them and then
bring them to lunch. The students love showing and sharing their favorite buddies with their friends and the wonderful cafeteria staff always prepares a fun pancake lunch to go along with the occasion. All the lunch visitors kept the appropriate social distancing and some even wore masks.
Parkman Trustees Donate To District
The school district expresses its sincere appreciation to Parkman Township Trustees Roger Anderson, Henry Duchscherer and Dennis Ikeler for their generous support of the district with the donation of two electrostatic sprayers, corresponding disinfectant solution and thermal imaging cameras. The trio attended the Cardinal Board of Education meeting Oct. 14 to be recognized. The
sprayers will be used in district vehicles on a daily basis and are designed to deploy the solution so that it sticks to all sides of the surface to which it is applied. The cameras will help staff monitor the temperature of every person that enters the building and alert them to any potential issues right away.

CMS Named School On The Rise
Cardinal Middle School students are once again “making history” in the PHabLab. The National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) has named Cardinal Middle School as its November School on the Rise. CMS was chosen from over 900 certification centers across the country and is the only middle school to ever earn this award. NC3 selects Schools on the Rise based on hard work and dedication towards Career and Technical Education and an increased certification performance. “This is a true testament to the teacher we have in that classroom, Mrs. Mandi Matchinga, and all of our middle school students,” says Cardinal Middle School Principal Andy Cardinal. “What Mrs. Matchinga has been able to achieve with our students in that lab has far exceeded all of our expectations.”

Fitness Report
Do You Have to Endure Chronic Back Pain? By Dr. Adam M. Cramer Between 60 and 80% of people currently living in the United States will experience chronic back pain at some point in their lives. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, it is one of the most common occupational disorders in the country.
What kind of relief can you expect?
At MyoFit Clinic in Middlefield, Chardon and Ashtabula, OH we have had great success in helping clients find relief from their chronic pain who gradually improve strength and mobility from exercise and resume their normal level of activity again. There are a number of treatments we use to accomplish this.
Physical therapy with strength and mobility programs
When physical therapy is coupled with specially prescribed motor control exercises, only which a licensed physical therapist can prescribe, we have observed significant success in treating patients with chronic low back pain. The focus of these special exercises is to improve the neuromuscular control of those body segments involved in movement of the spine in order to improve stability of the spine making it stronger. In essence, while chronic back pain is not usually a “quick fix,” the condition can often be treated effectively with a combination of different physical therapies. Physical therapy aims to correct the debilitating dysfunction versus only just treating the symptoms.
Dry Needling
Due to above normal demand, COVID-19, social distancing and other protocols in factories, warehouses and offices, product supply shortages are huge. With no end in sight at this time, 80% of orders are currently taking 10 to 20 weeks or longer.
At MyoFit Clinic we have also brought relief to many sufferers of chronic back pain by using a advanced treatment procedure known as Intramuscular Stimulation or Dry Needling.
This is a unique procedure requiring specialized training on the part of your physical therapist. It is designed to target muscle function to improve tissue healing and muscle restoration. It is especially effective if your back pain is linked to an underlying injury. If you are recommended to have dry needling, you can expect to be treated with thin solid filament dry needles that will deactivate and desensitize trigger points within the muscle itself. These trigger points are known to contribute to pain, poor muscle function, low blood circulation and reduced flexibility.
Manual therapy
Chronic lower back pain can also be relieved substantially with hands on manual therapy offered at our clinic by a Doctors of Physical Therapy manual therapy includes myofascial release, massage, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, stretching and range of motion. In fact, a 2011 scientific study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine found that manual therapy helps people with back pain to function even after six months. After 10 weeks, more than 1/3 patients who received either type of manual therapy said their back pain was either much better or gone, compared to only one in 25 who were taking medication. Patients who underwent massage therapy also spent fewer days in bed, were more active and used fewer anti-inflammatory medications that those who were treated solely with medication. Physical therapy is not something that can be done on your own or by any other health/medical practitioner. You need the critical and trained eye of a licensed doctor of physical therapy in order to assess and determine appropriate diagnosis, limitations and treatments for your pain. No referral is needed in Ohio for physical therapy so you can skip seeing a physician or orthopedic surgeon. Call us today for an initial consultation so you can keep moving forward pain free!

Howdy from West Farmington Mrs. Rudy Kathryn Detweiler West Farmington Days are so short, night comes so early, “Autumn,” just saying the word makes me feel warm, curling up by the fireside with a country magazine, lighting the candles, with a warm cup of cider or hot chocolate and a homemade cookie, praising God for our many blessings. Yesterday Harvey Miller called us to go along with him and wife Barbara over to Newcomb Road for one hour to see how Sam Miller is doing. He came home from the hospital Wednesday and is not doing well with his cancer issues, on morphine twice a day. His wife, Esther, and family take care of him. Tomorrow is open house at (Sam’s, John’s) Joe Miller for his 80th birthday and we hope to stop in for awhile. He and wife Tillie, and us had some good times, also when his first wife, Alma, was still living. Old friends are precious. The Milo Mullet families and us Det-
weilers enjoyed a delicious fish fry out on Penniman Road at Milo and Esther Mullet Jr.’s, with all the fish we could eat and some more. Coming from a distance were our children Robert Mullets, of Cub Run, Ky., David Mullets, of Atlantic, Pa., John Millers, of Quaker City, Daniel Yoders, of Atlantic, Pa., and Noah, Allen, Lester, Mrs. Chester, Miss Martha (all Mullets), Willis Weavers, Joe Slabaughs, also our sons John and Marty. Was so enjoyable we want to make this a yearly event when fishing season is over and reminisce all the fishing tales of the season. We are happy to report our neighbor, Mrs. Harley Martha Hochstetter, can walk now with a walker after five days at University Hospitals with a stroke and blood clot on her brain. She is slowly back to normal. Raking leaves is a chore, but to add some fun we used to make big piles and let the children jump in them after they helped rake. Nowadays most of us have leaf blowers. Those were the good old days with lots of exercise. Easy living makes us weak...

Lines by Linda Mrs. Jacob Linda Weaver Burton Township Hello friends and family, A cold greeting from snowy Georgia Road. It’s hard for me to believe that we had snow on Nov. 1. Walking to church yesterday it was 50 degrees, but on the way home it was a rain/snow mix. Church was at Alan and Nancy Miller’s in their new shop. Al’s mom and dad, Ray and Sara, his brother Mark’s and some young folks were the extras, all very welcome. Church will be at daughter Sara jane and Mary Mast’s next. Ida Gingerich and daughter Ruth Ann spent last week in Arizona with her brother/uncle Harry Weaver and wife. He is not well at this time. They traveled by train. Wednesday eve we attended a 50th wedding dinner for Noah and Sovilla Detweiler, our good friends. All their children but one (from Guernsey County) attended and most of the grands . . . they have 80! Also brothers and sisters of both. A large gathering with delicious food and much reminiscing. John W. and Sarah Byler came from Pennsylvania, also good friends.
We received news of Mrs. William (Dena) Detweiler’s passing at age 73. She had stage 4 cancer and leaves her husband, one son, one daughter, grands, and brothers, sisters, and many more to mourn her death. Our sympathy to the family. We planned our yearly trip to Holmes County for tomorrow and Wednesday with John Mast’s, Joe Byler’s, John Slabaugh’s and Ray Mast (widower). Our granddaughter Rosa Beth Mast is going along to make sure we all behave (smiling!) . . . you never know what Katherine (Middlefield Post writer) Byler and John Mast might decide to pull off! Want to add my sister Sara and John Hershberger’s address. They recently parted with their grandson Morgan John Hershberger, 18. It’s 15959 Portie-Flamingo Road, Corning, OH 43730. They would enjoy hearing from anyone who cares to write. The parent’s address is John Jr. and Regina Hershberger and Sons, 16935 Old State Road, Middlefield, OH 44062. The family us heart-broken and would appreciate encouraging mail. Thanks! Love and prayers until next time.

Katherine’s Korner Mrs. Joe Katherine Byler Middlefield Township A little boy asked his mother, “Why does Nana have so many Bibles?” She answered, “She’s studying for finals!” Good answer. Now we’re into November already, 50 days to Christmas. Come on, snow! I’ve been peeking into my Christmas card stash and getting excited to see if I have enough created and/or recycled for another year. Many left over from 2019 have been signed, adding our son Robert’s name. His “new” wife says we can just add “and Kathryn.” Nice idea. Hopefully 2020 weddings are over for us and we’ll have to start buying groceries again. Not quite that ‘bad,’ but we sure attended a lot, all very enjoyable. Brother Joe (Joseph J. Miller) was honored with an 80th birthday bash, on Halloween no less. That’s right on his birthday, not hard to remember. And it seems we keep hearing of viewings and funerals, all part of life . . . and death. Mrs. Billy Jr. Detweiler’s wife, Dena, passed away Friday, Oct. 30. And early Halloween morning, Dan A. Detweiler, of Carroll County, formerly of Middlefield, passed away at age 64. He had health issues for a long time. He leaves his wife, Naomi (daughter of Noah and Catherine Troyer), and five children. Friend Ruth Jean Hawkins, age 95, of Florida, retired senior center director, was glad to hear the center was open again for
any ladies who care to, to converge, converse, consume. There were 30 of us there to meet and greet. The first time since February. The marble game also gets put to good use, with it sounding almost like some are losing theirs! Levi Jr. ( Shteff) Miller could not go to workshop, so he also came to center with his mother, Saloma. He even shook the die for her! Sister Betty (Mrs. John Weaver) had cataract surgery twice, waiting for new glasses now. She and I have been enjoying visiting some shut-ins. But just because they’re ‘shutin,’ it doesn’t mean they sit around! Mrs. (Crist) Maryalice Miller sews teddy bears and also makes clothespin hangers. Mrs. (Dan J.P.) Martha Miller tears and sews rags with which to make carpets. Friend Elizabeth Detweiler mostly sits, reads, writes a bit, enjoys company if and when it comes. Such a great feeling to visit others in need. ‘Skip’ Weaver spent a few days in the hospital with an infection in his knee. Test results are unknown to me at this time. We think of those a lot who are suffering serious illness. There’s also Sam J. Miller (Newcomb Road) on morphine for pain from cancer, that cruel diagnosis. LeAnna Yoder, daughter of Allen Ray and Barbie, turns 6 years old on Nov. 7, but has to wait till next year to enter first grade. Friend Peg Mullenax turns 69 on the 9th. Happy birthday! “When sliding down the bannister of life don’t get a splinter in your career.”

Coffee Break with Sue Mrs. Norman Susan Yoder Middlefield Township Hello Readers, Yuk! describes our weather for the past week. We did ‘do’ leaves one evening between showers; it needs it again, of course. To everything there is a season. Tomorrow we plan to drop in at Uncle Joe’s 80th birthday open house. Hopefully he’ll be surprised. There is only one . . . Uncle Joe, that is. (Smile!) Our daughter-in-law Rachel reported a first born baby to her brother Noah Ray and Carolyn Detweiler, a son named Javan Noah. Congratulations! The grands are Dan and Lori Fisher, and Noah and Miriam Detweiler. We are delighted to have apple season again, so many yummy treats to make. Mom brought us some apple dumplings for an easy supper with some trail bologna while our kitchen was “tore up.” They are done! Our newly painted cabinets, it was quite a job but
well worth it. I feel like I have a new kitchen. Tuesday (election day) is our annual cousin day to be held at Jake Sarah Ann Millers out east of North Bloomfield. It’s a much anticipated day of catching up on each other’s lives and sharing our opinions of which we all willingly voice! (Smile!) Mom was to the foot doctor and found the cause of her pain that woke her at night. She has a stress fracture around her heel. The doctor gave her a boot to wear which is quite cumbersome, along with some pain meds. I will close this with a recipe, a favorite of ours that my Grandma Miller used to make: Shredded Apples (4-6 cups); Sugar to taste; Graham cracker crumbs (1-2 cups) (I like to use the cinnamon ones); and Whipped topping (12-16 ounce tub). Very simple and delicious! ‘Til next time, remember . . . if wisdom’s ways you widely seek, five things observe with care to whom you speak, and when you speak and how and when and where!
Mom’s Diary & News from Windsor Mrs. Wayne Barbara Ann Detweiler Windsor Oct. 15: Rose spent the day sewing while I did a bunch of paperwork. Oct. 16: We hadn’t been to Jeremy and Laura’s for awhile, so tonight we all went and also picked up John, Betty and girls. My parents, brother Robert and Kathryn, and sister Elizabeth and Wayne also came. So, Laura’s little house was pretty full. Oct. 17: Rose put a sign out by the road to take orders for pumpkin rolls, so she had a few to do today. She loves to bake. Oct. 18: Went to church, then home and rested the rest of the day. Oct. 19: It rained all day, so of course I felt very achy. A lot of my joints are inflamed again, so time for a change in diet! No sugar and flour for one. Oct. 20: Still raining and I’m still hurting. Despite that I cared for little Jesse today. He just melts your heart when he smiles and coos. We discovered his first tooth peeping through. Oct. 21: Hannah came this morning. She’s now 4 years old and very easy to care for. Jesse has his second tooth now. It is very exciting! Oct. 22: I went down to Mom’s, then she, Aunt Betty and I visited some older people in
the community. It made me count my blessings. Today is our anniversary. And, since Sweetest Day is close, too, I got a nice bouquet. What a day brightener. Oct. 23: I went over to John and Betty’s, and picked up Karin and Kaitlyn, and brought them here for the day. We had lots of fun. It was a beautiful day so we played outside a lot. Oct. 24: Rose had to make more pumpkin rolls. Today also was library day, so there’s some different books here to read. I went to the Cherry Valley Store with Wayne and a friend. That’s always an interesting place. Oct. 25: We went to church, then home and we were invited to supper, too, so we went for the evening. Oct. 26: It is our turn to host church services next, so will be busy the next few weeks. We had our door in the living room open for awhile tonight, when it started raining. Betty went over to close it, slipped in a puddle and went down on her back with her feet up in the air. She was laughing so hard she couldn’t get back up for a good 10 minutes. I had to laugh to see her laugh! Oct. 27: Grocery day. Laura went along and also my Mom. Oct. 28: It has been very wet and dreary all week. Hopefully, we can finish up our outside work soon.

Taking a Look Back at the Beginning By Jaime A. Fisher Nurse Administrator Middlefield Care Center Recently I received a call from Rose Evans, wife of the late Dr. Evans, saying that she was moving and had paperwork from the Care Center’s startup. I knew there had to be interesting information in those papers. When I met her at the Care Center, elated to receive the cardboard box of history, I asked her if she would like to see the Care Center. She said, “of course!” She got the deluxe tour and was overjoyed and proud at the current state of the Care Center. She said her husband would be proud. Upon finishing the tour, memories of Sarah N. Miller came rushing back her. Sarah was an Amish midwife who did home deliveries and was a key person in getting the Care Center started. A short time later, she was tragically struck and killed by a vehicle on her way to return a page for the Care Center. Sarah was dedicated to the success of MCC and I thank her. I started to go through the box and found an envelope of handwritten notes. Compared to these, who cares about the endless typed policies and letters written in support of the Care Center? Of course, they are all important but I wanted the personal story of how this Care Center came to be. Dr. Evans and Sarah Miller were collab-
orating on this project. Dr. Evans had Sarah collecting information from other midwifes and doctors both in and outside the area. I learned from Sarah’s notes that MCC was a broad idea. This project had been brewing for years before anything happened. Sarah gathered a lot of statistics, from birth statistics for a midwife in PA to a doctor who traveled from Salem, OH to assist with home births. I never looked at birth statistics prior to 1990. The number of home births in Geauga County was shockingly low. From 1984 to 1988 home births per year never exceeded 17 births. That’s shocking, and I have to do more investigating… One last thing I found in the box was a personal note from Sarah Miller to Dr. Evans on May 8, 1987. Sarah was in Wayne County for a wedding and stopped at the Mount Eaton Care Center. A nurse gave her a tour and explained that the Center was very busy. They’d had two births already that morning, and two more women ready to deliver. Sarah wrote that a baby was born while she was there, and she got to shake Dr. Lehman’s hand and talk for a few minutes. She signed the note, “Looks really interesting! Sarah.” This box has really sparked my interest in preserving the back story of MCC. I definitely have more questions than answers. Thank you for the best job in the world, Jaime A. Fisher
