Middlefield Man Indicted In Fatal Crash Staff Report A Geauga County grand jury has indicted a 21-year-old Middlefield man in connection with a one-car fatal crash on Burton Windsor Road that killed a female passenger. Robbie Gingerich, of Burton Windsor Road, was charged March 17 with aggravated vehicular homicide, a first-degree felony; two first-degree misdemeanor counts of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them; and one count of operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, an unclassified misdemeanor.

Geauga Public Health to Open Drive-Through Vaccine Clinics Staff Report Geauga Public Health will launch the county’s first mass drive-through vaccination clinics at the Geauga County Fairgrounds in Burton. Beginning April 13, GPH will direct weekly clinics for first doses every Tuesday. The clinic will require appointments, which can be scheduled at https://vaccine. GPHOhio.org. “The timing of the launch of the scheduling tool, the opening up of eligibility to all adults later this month, and the start of our weekly mass drive through clinics could not have aligned any better,” Health Commissioner Tom Quade said. GPH and University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center will combine resources to staff and supply the clinics with necessary vaccine doses and other supplies, Quade said, while the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office will assist in coordinating additional staff support to assist with the clinic as well as EMS providers able to provide vaccinations.

Inside This Week
By Kathy McClure editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
Something old is new again in the heart of Middlefield. When Al Gingerich and his wife started the Olde Towne Grill on New Year’s Day in 1975, little did he know what a fixture of the community it would become. Residents, business owners, family and friends frequented the corner bar and grill, at 15924 West High Street, where they could greet locals and get a good meal. Then came COVID-19. The bar and grill closed for a time, as did other eateries in the area. But today is a new day for the hotspot, as Kyle and Nicole Vanboxel took ownership of the restaurant as of March 1 and plan to bring in a whole new menu, décor and culture — building upon the success of the past.

Olde Towne Grill near the corner of state routes 87 and 608 in Middlefield has been a popular fixture since 1975. It was recently purchased by Nicole and Kyle Vanboxel and will undergo a facelift, new menu and new culture. A grand opening is planned for mid-April.
“I started my career in Middlefield at Best Cuts and I fell in love with the area and the people in the community,” said Nicole. “They deserve a place to hang out and

Middlefield Cub Scouts Do Their Best to Be Prepared and Lead the Adventure Submitted March 13 was a big weekend for Middlefield Cub Scout Pack 3141. It was the weekend the Scouts and their families had been waiting for for over a month: the Lake Erie Council STEAM Cub Spring Overnighter. However, four days before the event was supposed to take place, pack leadership was informed it had been cancelled due to low attendance. “My heart sunk a little when I heard the news, but my immediate reaction was I am not going to do this to these kids,” Cubmaster Danica Stout said. “They have been waiting a month for this camp out. They are excited. I am not going to let them down by just calling everything off. “And let me tell you, it is no easy task to plan an entire weekend camp out for Cub Scouts in just four days.

It was known all over Northeast Ohio as a destination for boating and swimming in Mineral Lake and for picnicking and relaxation in the park area. This area was also a playground for many families from the Cleveland area, being accessible by the Chagrin Falls and Eastern electric railway that actually ran through the park. It was owned by stockholders of the Mineral Lake Company, formed around 1895

from page 1 work and planning that goes into it. However, thanks to the support of our dedicated volunteers and families, we did it.” The Lake Erie Council provided the pack with a campsite and lodge at Beaumont Scout Reservation in Rock Creek, where they were joined by Troop 4076, of Parkman Township. “I was very happy to offer the boys from Parkman Troop 4076 a chance to join us for the weekend,” said Stout. “Working and interacting with Scouts in a troop encourages them to get excited about what awaits after they graduate out of Pack 3141. I also knew that it would benefit the Scouts in the troop by providing them with an opportunity to work on their own ranks and merit badges. And, of course, there’s also the fact that all the Scouts just have a ton of fun whenever they’re together.” And a ton of fun, it was. The weekend was filled with crafts, hikes, BB gun ranges, games, songs around the campfire and so much more. One of the most fun activities of the weekend was when the cubs had their first lesson in first-aid. They then took their newly-made first-aid kits and headed out into the woods to put their new skills into practice, where, unknown to the cubs, the boys in the troop had been having some fun with costume makeup.

He owns and operates Vanboxel Building Supplies and Nickels Cabin Cuts and Salon in Chardon. His wish to own a bar came true when he discovered during dinner the Olde Towne Grill was for sale. They agreed it was sad to see such an established fixture close permanently. Within weeks, Kyle made his dream a reality by purchasing the business. “My husband doesn’t give up, from the day we started our journey to where we are now,” Nicole said. The Vanboxels plan an entirely new menu of fresh burgers, hand-breaded chicken wings and some healthy options, as well. Keeping the tradition of weekend prime rib was a
Crash
from page 1 Authorities say Gingerich was driving — without a license — a 2004 Nissan Xterra under the influence of alcohol on Burton Windsor Road in Middlefield Township Feb. 5 when it lost control on the ice and snow-covered road, and traveled off the right side of the road and overturned. The driver’s side rear passenger was ejected and became trapped under the vehicle, and was pronounced dead upon EMS arrival.
“One cannot deny the unique first-aid skills of Cub Scouts” Stout said. “Some of their solutions to the different ‘injuries’ left parents laughing so hard they were crying. Even so, our Scouts did an incredible job utilizing their new knowledge, which is ultimately the goal.” Prior to their campfire Saturday night, the Cub Scouts received a lesson in flag etiquette for the Scouts in the Parkman troop. The Scouts did an excellent job working with the Cubs, teaching them how to properly fold and carry a flag. The Cubs then used these skills at the end of the evening, when they performed their own, Scout-led flag retirement. An honorable moment for any Cub Scout. Even with the large amount of work that went into just four days of planning, the Cubmaster said, “When you see the excitement and joy in the Scouts, how much fun they are having, the lasting friendships that are forming, that more than makes up for all of the effort you put in. That, alone, makes it worthwhile.” She added, laughing, ”Even when they tell you that their most favorite thing about the campout was the pizza they had for dinner.” Pack 3141 is always looking to welcome new families to join on our next adventure. The more Scouts, the more fun. You can look us up at beascout.org or on our Facebook page: Middlefield Pack 3141 BSA. must, and new alcoholic drinks will expand the bar service. Vanboxels will be offering breakfast every day with favorites such as her Nicole’s mother’s homemade biscuits and gravy. The couple said they want to create a homey atmosphere, welcoming everyone, including families during the day. The space is now under construction to offer a new, unique look, which hasn’t even been unveiled to family and friends yet. General Manager Ashley Jarrett, who worked for Vanboxel Building Supply, has been brought over to do what she does best, manage the service at the new place. “We are so excited and it’s going to be great,” she said. “The grand opening is being planned for mid-April.” When asking Gingerich how he feels about the end of an era, he said, “It’s a big change, but it was time. Now, I’ll finally be able to catch up on my chores at home.” Two other passengers were injured and taken by local EMS to University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center. Gingerich and another passenger were not injured. None of vehicle occupants were wearing seatbelts, according to a news release issued by the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Chardon Post. OHP’s preliminary investigation indicated alcohol was a factor in the crash. Gingerich’s case was bound over to the Geauga County Common Pleas Court for future proceedings. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 9 and currently is out of jail after posting $50,000 bail.

Family Literacy Month
March is family literacy month and students at Jordak Elementary School were in for a big surprise to mark the occasion when they walked in the doors on March 1. Students found hallways transformed with interesting decorations, new vocabulary words and meanings, facts about bats and skunks and the word “bat” made out of very big letters on the school bulletin board. There was much excited chatter about all of the new discoveries. As the day went on, students discovered
all of the items were clues about the book all students will be reading this month called “A Boy Called BAT.” Students received their very own copy of the book at school thanks to a generous donation from the Jordak PTO. The school hopes families will join their children and read along throughout the month. In school students will be invited to answer daily questions about the story as a way to encourage and reward attentive listening. When a whole school reads a book, there’s much to talk about. With everyone’s help, Jordak can build a community of readers.

Discover the Savings at Sal
S
alvage grocery stores abound around Middlefield, where Amish families depend on taxis or horses and buggies for transportation. The shelves in the salvage stores are stocked with a wide variety of goods, making them vital for Amish who live miles out in the country and may not be able to go into town without a long buggy trip in bad weather or paying a taxi for the ride. What draws other customers are the prices, which are often steeply reduced from price tags in chain stores, and, besides the convenience, people enjoy the country-store atmosphere. Many of the stores have been in operation for a decade or more, owned and managed by local Amish businessmen. Scenic View Salvage LLC at 5515 Kinsman Road is just outside Geauga County, but in the middle of the Amish community. Owner Chris Detweiler bought the B&K Salvage Store, which had been owned by the same family for 20 years, April 1, 2020 — just as the COVID-19 pandemic was heating up — and renamed it. “It’s the first time I’ve run a business,” Detweiler said. “It was kinda hectic the first couple of months.” Most of his stock comes from Holmes County in Ohio and from Michigan, where he has connections, he said. When a store has slightly damaged items, closes out a brand or just shuts down, the items usually are bought by a large company and loaded into semi trailers. “Then they turn around and sell it to us,” Detweiler said. Juggling the influx of materials, customers, four employees, the ups and downs of the virus and the weather has made it a remarkable year. “It’s been quite a challenge,” he said. “But it’s been fun and interesting and it’s nice making new friends.” Currently, Detweiler keeps his coolers and freezers going with a generator, but has plans to connect to the electricity at the road, a practice allowed for business, he said. Besides selling everything from gasoline to ice cream, Detweiler plans to install an ice machine. “We’re moving slowly, but we are going,” he said. “I’m trying to make this a one-stop shopping place.” Kristina Nagy, owner of Nature’s Nook, 12960 Bundysburg Road in Huntsburg Township, has a back room stacked to the ceiling

with banana boxes stuffed with items that have been discarded by supermarkets because they are approaching their expiration dates, have packaging that is slightly damaged or they are simply surplus stock. “The deals are amazing,” Nagy said. She and her husband, Rod, built the store on their property in 2006, realizing the Amish population was spreading north and a salvage store on their property, just south of Mayfield Road, might serve that niche. Nature’s Nook is staffed by Amish with Edna Byler managing the operation — a job that requires some flexibility, since wholesale, case lots and salvaged inventory can swing wildly. “You never know what’s coming,” Nagy said. To ensure some consistency, she also stocks some new items, such as baby food and pet supplies, and makes sure the coolers are full of new essentials such as milk, cheese and eggs. But the most popular aisle holds a huge assortment of snack foods and those shelves are stacked with goodies. “We hit the jackpot for the snack load,” she said. “We got in with a company that’s been kind enough to keep us as a client.” David Kurtz, owner of Kurtz Salvage, 16777 Shedd Road in Middlefield Township, said about half his customers are Amish and he has seen a steady increase in shoppers — particularly in the last year — probably because of COVID-19.

Nauvoo Family Market on 15979 Nauvoo Road in Middlefield Township sells the Amish scooters used for transportation by along Middlefield roads everywhere.
“Every year, we are busier it seems like,” he said. “It keeps us hopping.” He opened his store 13 years ago and now has a warehouse in Middlefield for excess inventory he receives from as far away as Florida. The warehouse minimizes the effect sudden loads of groceries arriving can have, but the logistics are hard to imagine. “The more stuff we have, the more headaches we have,” Kurtz said. Other stores catering to Amish and local residents may not carry salvage goods, as such, but they help customers save on groceries or provide items not easily found elsewhere. Aisles of bulk foods greet shoppers at Nauvoo Family Market on 15979 Nauvoo Road in Middlefield Township and at Fig Tree Bulk Foods at 15970 West High Street in Middlefield Village, but each store has its own character and niche. Nauvoo Family Market rents out equipment and sells the Amish scooters seen along Middlefield roads everywhere. The market has a bakery that puts out stacks of freshly-baked goods, as well as a delicious aroma. Plastic bags of bulk foods line the shelves and coolers are well stocked. Everything from Amish hats to fresh, seasonal produce can be bought. Most people enter Fig Tree Bulk Foods, 15970 East High St. in Middlefield Village, through the attractive back door off the park-

ing lot behind the building. The deli counter displays lunch meats and cheeses with specials such as Cajun turkey breast and black pepper American cheese noted colorfully on a chalkboard. Without corporate headquarters dictating what and how they can sell groceries and goods, the independent storeowners are still cooperative among themselves. When Nagy got a truck load of frozen chicken she couldn’t store, she contacted Kurtz, who put part of the delivery in his freezer, she said. She also emphasized there are few expiration dates on items that mean they are unsafe. Gradually, people are realizing the date means “best if used by.” The exceptions are baby food and some over-the-counter medicines, Nagy said. Inspectors visit often and are very thorough in their examinations of anything that can deteriorate over time “If customers knew how regulated we all are, they would feel more comfortable coming in,” she said.

Cardinal High School junior Lindsay Hissa is the first-place winner of the Burton Middlefield Rotary Four-Way Speech Contest for her speech on “Why Public Smoking Should be Banned.”
Rotarians Award Local Students Submitted Five local high school students from Cardinal and Berkshire school districts made passionate presentations before the Burton Middlefield Rotary at the Berkshire Schools Board of Education Office and on Zoom the evening of March 10. The students were asked to choose a topic and put it to the Rotary Four-Way Test, which is: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Cardinal junior Lindsay Hissa shared ideas about “Why Public Smoking Should be Banned,” Cardinal senior Tyler Zajko spoke about “Discrimination Against
LGBTQ Students” and Cardinal freshman Morgan Soltis addressed the judges about “The World We Live In.” Cardinal freshman Anna Layman told the group “We Need To Do Something About the Opioid Epidemic” and Berkshire senior Wilson Jackson spoke about “A Conflict Ridden Society.” First place was awarded to Lindsay Hissa, second to Wilson Jackson and third to Anna Layman. Each received a monetary check for their achievements. The judges were Rotarians Jim Dvorak, Todd Hornak, Mike Valentino, Len Golding and Bob Goracer. Rotarian Dave Terill organized the event. Burton Middlefield Rotary president Larry Fox was emcee.

Fitness Report
Knee Pain? Physical Therapy Best Option To Avoid Surgery By Dr. Adam Cramer, DPT The knee is one of the most used joints in the body that can easily take the repetitive stress of day to day use. When the knee is pushed beyond it’s limits or turned in a direction it isn’t meant to it can cause pain and injury. When this happens, physical therapy is the best first option for treatment.
What To Do About Knee Pain?
For many, the first step following a knee injury is to consult with a surgeon even though they prefer not to have surgery. Yet these professionals specialty is surgery and they have never made anyone walk again themselves. So if you’re having difficulty with walking because of pain then consult a specialist who focuses on improving walking and reducing pain themselves such as a physical therapist who Cramer should be the first point of contact. By consulting with a independent physical therapist there is no conflict of interest like in orthopedic surgical groups and hospital systems. Independent physical therapists focus only on cost-effective low risk physical therapy treatment and not high cost high risk surgical procedures. No referral is needed for physical therapy in the state of Ohio and your medial insurance will cover the cost of treatment. MRIs and x-rays are not needed to diagnose knee injuries especially when we all have abnormalities within our joints and imaging can produce false positives resulting in unnecessary surgeries. Steroid injections and other injections offered by orthopedic surgeons have demonstrated ineffectiveness with not properly addressing the functional limitations (lack of motion and strength) that an individual with knee pain has. Based on evidence steroid injections can actually deteriorate tendons, promote cartilage loss and
create bone fractures under the cartilage in your joint.
Physical Therapy for Knee Pain
All of these invasive procedures mentioned above do absolutely nothing to correct the underlying problem in the first place, it’s just treating the symptoms. The underlying problem with most joint pain is lack of motion and strength. It’s quite simple, if you work at improving how well you move, you will move better, plain and simple. Cartilage in joints is like a sponge, when it is used it will soak up all the nutrients around it while getting rid of waste products in the joint that can degenerate cartilage further. Movement is the key. By focusing on the structures that make us move, such as muscles, you will undoubtedly move better with less symptoms. When the knee is stressed through exercise it promotes strength of it, blood flow increases, oxygenation and ultimately healing. Physical therapy treatment for knee pain will include hands-on treatment to promote blood-flow, healing and range of motion. Dry needling will help reduce pain while promoting healing and muscle contraction. Therapeutic exercise will promote strengthening and stabilization of the knee joint to reduce excessive shearing/rotational forces that can lead to further damage of the joint. You will have a thorough understanding of how to maintain and treat your symptoms independently. By seeing a independent Doctor of Physical Therapy first who is not affiliated with a hospital or surgeon you will reach your goals fast avoiding surgery all together.

Huntsburg History
Smiling Faces Thanks to a Generous Community
SUBMITTED
There were many more smiling faces this past winter and still coming this spring thanks to a generous Middlefield area community. The Middlefield Chamber of Commerce (MCC) gathered boxes and boxes of toys from area merchants who held the Merry Middlefield toy drive throughout the holiday season in 2020. Many of the toys were donated to Family Pride of Northeast Ohio, headquartered in Chardon. Toys were also donated to “Santa’s Hide-A-Way Hollow” and “Toys for Tots” through Best Funeral Home.
The Clay Street school in 1914.
One Room Schools, Part 1 By Carl and Elaine Seliskar Perhaps nowadays we are used to associating one-room schools with our Amish friends. It wasn’t always that way. One recent Historical Society museum-open day I spotted a visiting young Amish lad of some 10 years old staring at the photograph of the Clay Street School (below). I approached him and offered an explanation of our early school house much to his amazement. After I had finished my story, he hurried away to tell his mother what a surprising photo he had revealed to him. Namely, that in the early days of the township there were many one-room school houses that easily could have passed for today’s Amish school houses. In this article we describe those early school houses and relate how they were managed by town’s folk. The following account was written on Sept. 2, 1908, one hundred years after the first settlement of Huntsburg (author unknown): “In 1810 these three families united with the people of Batavia, now Middlefield, in building a schoolhouse on the line between Huntsburg and Middlefield, where now the road to Burton [now Burton Windsor Road] crosses the town line. The district was called the ‘Townsley District.’ “The [school] house was a one-story frame building 24 x 30. It contained a fireplace and two cloak rooms, and the desk was a wide shelf on three sides of the room. The seats were slabs, mounted on strong legs, something after the fashion of a new home. There was a trap door in the floor, which led to the dungeon, or hold in the ground, where very refractory boys were put, to reflect on the errors of their ways. The first teacher was Lucinda Walden, the second was Paul Clapp, who taught there many winters. “By 1812 there were six families with children in town, and soon a small log schoolhouse was built at Barnes’ Corners, two miles south of the center [corner of SR528 and Burton Windsor Road]. After a few terms this one took fire and burned. The next one was built one mile south of the center. It was much larger and was also used for public worship.The first cemetery [Pioneer Cemetery] was placed opposite.” The map (with numbers) shows the eleven locations of the one room schools in Huntsburg. 1. Center: (1857, 1874, 1900) 6. School 2. Beardsley School, Stanton Corners, Res7. School, Damon ervation 8. School 3. Clapp School, Clapp Corners, Cramblett 9. School, Barnes Corners Corners 10. Moss School 4. School 11. Townsley School 5. School, Hughes Corners, Crofutt Corners In the second part of this article we will continue the story of the early one-room schools in Huntsburg, ending up with the consolidation of them into one central location.
