Middlefield Development Adding 20 Ryan Homes

By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com

Housing market numbers for Geauga County may vary slightly depending on the website, but there is little doubt the area is experiencing a seller’s market in 2023.

That’s great news for Ryan Homes and Joe Svete, who is developing 20 home sites called Woodsong Meadows, the 11th phase of the popular Middlefield Village Woodsong neighborhood.

Middlefield Village Council, Mayor Ben Garlich and sales representatives from Ryan Homes cut a red ribbon in front of the grey-sided Pisa Torre model May 3 during an open house.

Will Grover, sales and marketing representative, said Ryan Homes is offering four other floor plans plus options in colonial and ranch styles with prices starting at $250,000 for a three bedroom, open concept unit with a garage.

“We’ve had a couple of sales already. We’re very excited,” said Joe Bevanda, divisional sales manager, adding Ryan expects construction to start by mid-June.

By May 15, after a busy weekend, Grover said Ryan had nine contracts signed and the Pisa Torre model was very popular.

The three-bedroom model, measuring nearly 1,600 square feet, spreads out from the front door into an open concept living

The model has a basement but that is an option, Grover said. The house had been purchased by an investor who allowed it to be used as a model for interested home buyers to view.

Each house will be built on a lot measuring 60 feet by 150 feet or nearly a quarter of an acre, said village Zoning Inspector John Boksansky.

Woodsong Drive will be extended to a temporary cul de sac for phase 11 and two more phases may be developed from there, he said.

John Heddon, Ryan division manager, said building costs work

the design of the five options, similar to those on nearby streets.

“This is a great opportunity for move-down buyers in their 70s,” he said. “They can have the benefits of urban life and still be rural. They’ll be in the village, but only five minutes from the country.”

Heddon said his division includes Geauga, Lake, Portage and north Summit counties, and the communities being developed there have been very busy.

“Last year, we closed about 1,200 homes in Northeast Ohio,” he said.

According to the Rocket Geauga

Community Meetings

Listed are public meetings and executive sessions in Huntsburg, Middlefield and Parkman townships, the Village of Middlefield and Cardinal Schools for the coming weeks. (Please note: These meeting notices are NOT legal notices.)

$309,000 in April of 2022 to more than $332,000 last month representing an increase in price of about 7.5%.

The 2023 selling prices compares to $195,900 in Lake County, $230,300 in Portage County, $140,000 in Trumbull County and $182,800 in Cuyahoga County, according to Rocket.

A median point is where half the prices are above that number and half fall below it. The Redfin website shows homes for sale in Middlefield Village currently sell in about 40 days and usually for about 97.9% of the asking price. The median sale price is $318,000.

Faith Matters Contentment in Your Pain

Often, our contentment is wrapped up in our circumstances. As long as we are comfortable and without adversity, we find some level of happiness. However, if pain or unwanted events barge their way into our lives, we become discontent and begin trying to change what is happening to us.

In recent weeks, I have been wrestling with pain in my hips. The doctor tells me I have bursitis. I have stopped my running and have tried different remedies to reduce my pain and speed up the healing. Rest is not something I like to do. I prefer to stay active and busy. There is always another task to complete or a project I want to pursue. I am wired for physical activity and work. I find joy and satisfaction in my labor.

be comfortable. Trials and testing are part of His way to do a deeper work in us. Matters of the heart, which pertain to our faith and character, are often shaped most significantly in the fires of hardship and adversity. God has a purpose behind every problem you face.

When the apostle Paul wrote to the followers of Jesus in the city of Corinth, he recounted his earlier experiences in Asia. He said that he had struggled deeply with various troubles. He was “under great pressure, far beyond his ability to endure.” He acknowledged that he did not expect to survive, and despaired even of life. However, he did not stop there. He continued . . . “But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”

Ultimately, however, I am not in control. Sometimes God wants to slow us down. He can use our pain and health-related issues to get our attention. Even then, we don’t always want to listen or consider what He might be doing in our lives.

We are designed to discover our best life as we walk with God and respond to His leadership. Unfortunately, we may stubbornly resist. The essence of sin is not allowing the Lord to be in control. We declare our independence and throw off His right to reign over us. We fail to give Him preeminence. The creature thinks he/she knows better than the Creator.

The paradox of life is that we actually find our greatest freedom and fulfillment when we enthrone Christ as Lord, embracing His authority and wisdom over our own. His Word, the Bible, is meant to be our roadmap and blueprint leading to a blessed life.

As God looks at your life and mine, He sees great potential in our unique individuality. He loves us and has a divine purpose to give us life abundantly, in its greatest measure. Yet, that does not mean we will always

Dependence, or reliance on God is not a crutch for the weak. It is actually the correct posture of faith. It recognizes that apart from God’s power we will eventually spin our wheels and fail to reach our intended destination. No wonder Paul could later write to the Philippian church and say, “I can to do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

These pearls of wisdom that Paul passed on to us were learned through the school of pain and difficulties. It also taught him the secret of contentment. Because he had discovered God’s power and purpose in his suffering, he found contentment by trusting God and seeing what blessing His mighty hand would bring to pass.

When you find yourself weary, discouraged, or even suffering, remember to look to God. Jesus is ready to help you find rest and contentment as you learn to rely on His strength.

Roger Kruse does not enjoy pain. However, he affirms with C.S. Lewis, that pain can become “God’s megaphone.”

Gardening & Cooking With Catherine

By cAtherine yoder

Greetings readers.

Well summer is coming with the warm days. I’m sure we’ll get cold again. Well this is the time of year for fresh rhubarb recipes. I just tried this recipe. It’s good.

Rhubarb Cheesecake Dessert

1 cup flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold butter

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling

2 packages (8 oz. each)

cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

3 cups rhubarb, fresh or frozen –chopped, thawed and drained

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in walnuts and vanilla. Press into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Pour over crust and bake for 20-25 minutes or until center is set and edge is light brown.

Cook in a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, water, cornstarch and cinnamon; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixtures thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool. Pour over filling, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Yields 12-15 servings.

Summertime Pasta Salad

2-1/2 cups uncooked spiral pasta

1 10oz. frozen mixed veggies

2/3 cup ranch dressing

1/3 cup Italian dressing

1/2 teaspoon dill weed

½ teaspoon garlic salt

2 small tomatoes, diced

1 package bacon, fried and crumbled

Cook pasta according to instructions. Please frozen veggies in a strainer. Pour

Parkman Senior Trash Pickup

cooked pasta and water over veggies to thaw. Rinse and drain well.

In a small bowl, combine salad dressings, dill and garlic salt until smooth.

Place pasta mixture in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, bacon and dressing. Stir gently to coat. Can also add cheddar cheese cubes. This is very good.

Barbecued Pork Chops

1/2 cup hickory smoke flavored barbeque sauce

1/2 cup A-1 steak sauce

1/2 cup sherry or unsweetened apple juice

3 tablespoon honey

6 bone-in pork loin chops (3/4-inch thick and 8 oz. each)

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Start grill. In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, steak sauce, sherry or apple juice, and honey. Transfer 1/3 cup sauce to another bowl, set aside.

Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill, covered over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, basting frequently with sauce. Serve with remaining sauce. Yields 6 servings.

Rhubarb Tips

When you buy a plant and plant it, don’t take off any rhubarb. The second year, just pick off some. If you pick off everything, it could die. In the fall, put manure onto the plant for the winter.

Making a hanging basket and containers, you put in 1, 3, 5 or 7 plants in them. I always was told to put in odd numbers as they will do better.

To plant succulents, you can plant them in rocks like in a rock garden. The larger stone you look for the crevices, fill in dirt, then plant the flowers. They do not like wet. Hen and chickens, rollers, stonercrop and ice plant work the best. To keep them outside, keep them where they are away from harsh winds. You can also plant them in old tree trunks. See you next time.

Coffee Break with Sue

By susAn yoder

Hello to all readers

It was a sunny but cool day for the many weddings in the area.

We attended Jon Miller (Robert and Linda) and MaryAnn Freys, (Al and Linda). It was held at her Aunt Marvin and Susan Millers down on Old State Road. There were folks there from five different states and Canada. Al and Linda made many friends while at Conestoga Retreat a few years ago.

Al’s welcomed daughter number four, named Rebecca, born on April 25, also welcomed by several brothers and grandparents Albert and Mary Miller and Henry Frey and lone great Dan J.P Martha.

We spent Saturday eve and Sunday at Dad and Mom Yoders. Mom is not well, dealing with mini strokes. They require round-theclock care and have hospice coming in. They are 84 and 85. My mom spent a few days in the hospital and is suffering a broken pelvis due to a fall at home. Now to just rest and

heal and hopefully be well enough to attend nephew Nate and Nora’s wedding June 8. We look forward to having brother David and Barb here for a few days at least.

We had our May visiting night at Ervin Shrock’s, his wife, Sarah, passed away in January. His son, Lonnie, and Ann also joined us.

Son-in-law Jon and daughter Becca recently bought a jersey cow! With visions of having their own milk, butter and cheese dancing in their heads. The cow was delivered and put out to pasture and – whoa what’s that that happened – the horse next door was so spooked by this strange looking new creature next door, it broke out of the gate! After trying to lure him back in with a scoop of feed and running after him, my sisters arrived at Mom and Dad’s and nephew James ‘saved’ the day. All was well for a few days with a close eye on them. Then it happened once again but hopefully with time all will be well! And Sally the cow will be out in the pasture and will be blissfully munching grass together.

You are making progress if each mistake you make is a new one.
