Middlefield Teens Could Face Hate

Crimes Charges for Assault on Amish

By John Karlovec John@Karlovecmedia com

Four Middlefield teenagers could be charged with hate crimes after they admitted to throwing dozens of eggs at Amish in buggies on May 25.

One of the Amish men assaulted with the eggs is blind in his left eye as a result of the attack.

Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand said a 65-year-old Amish

man who lives on Burton Windsor Road called the sheriff’s office on May 31 to report he was struck by an egg thrown from a moving vehicle.

The man told a sheriff’s deputy that on May 25, at around 9:45 p.m., he and his wife were driving their covered buggy — which did not have a windshield — northbound on Bundysburg Road when a truck approached them from the north with its low beams on. The truck then turned on its bright lights and thereafter, the

man was hit in the eye with an egg, causing it to bleed. The man’s wife drove them to a friend’s house down the road, and from there a driver took them to University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center. He later was transferred to UH Cleveland.

The man was released from the hospital on May 27 and was told he would be permanently blind in his left eye.

“We started investigating it and we heard some rumors,” Hildenbrand

said. “Our detectives went out and viewed some video from different stores of people buying large quantities of eggs, got some names, did some follow up. They ultimately found out that these kids had purchased seven dozen eggs from the Dollar General in Huntsburg and were throwing them at the Amish.”

He added the four teenagers, all from Middlefield and ages 15 and

4th Annual Reverse Raffle to Benefit Yoder Bros. Foundation

Staff report

The Yoder Brothers Foundation continues to award $1.6 million and counting in local scholarships, in a loving tribute to the memory of two young men — local brothers — who both died in tragic, separate accidents.

Joshua Allen Yoder was just a few weeks short of his 18th birthday when he died in an auto accident in 1996. Seven years later, his brother, Tyler Gabriel Yoder, died in an accident a few short months after turning 18. Both were kind, loving young men who had so much to offer the world they left behind just as they embarked toward their college educations.

Through the Yoder Brothers Foundation, their memory will be preserved forever.

The foundation serves Geauga County youth by providing more than $80,000 in renewable scholarships for four-year or technical education annually to students from Cardinal, Berkshire, and (formerly) Newbury schools. As it has grown, the scholarship has expanded to additional districts, including Chardon Schools beginning last year.

To date, the Yoder Brothers Foundation has awarded more than $1.6 million to the local community.

The signature fundraiser of the schol-

arship foundation is its 4th Annual Reverse Raffle, which will be held on July 14, 2023, from 6-11 p.m., at the EOUV, 8636 Pekin Road, Russell Township. Tickets are $80 per person and include dinner, an open bar, entertainment and a reverse raffle number. Bring along friends for a fun and entertaining evening dancing to the beats of DJ Gaz.

The event features a $5,000 grand prize, silent auction and fish bowl raffle. An amazing array of raffle items will be available, including vacation getaways, Cleveland dining, shopping and entertainment experiences, autographed merchandise and so much more.

Please call 440-812-5892 or visit Eventbrite for tickets: https://ybfreverseraffle.eventbrite.com

Faith Matters Tending Your Garden

Planting a vegetable garden is an annual ritual for me. It goes back to my childhood. My brothers and I helped my Mom cultivate, plant, water and weed the patch of earth that helped feed our family of seven. We also had strawberry and raspberry plants nearby, along with currant and gooseberry bushes.

When I was 10 or 12, I started my own garden as well. It was down in the valley behind our house. There were too many trees for adequate sunlight, but I gave it my best shot.

In addition, my Dad grew up on a farm in western Ohio. My great-great-great grandfather settled there from Germany. My DNA was shaped by those 80 acres known as Green Acres. It was my favor ite place to visit.

his family. However, homegrown vegies from your own soil is special.

The trouble with it all, however, is that it requires a lot of work. Gardens must be tended and that can be tedious and time consuming. To plant seeds in nice clean rows is fine. Nevertheless, it won’t be long before the weed monster creeps in to take over. Besides that, all sorts of bugs, leaf wilt, powdery mildew, blight and black spot are ready to attack your beloved plants. Don’t forget rabbits, ground hogs, racoons and deer.

By Roger Kruse

In his retirement years, my grandfather Elmer could often be seen on a summer’s morning with his hoe in hand, tending the garden. Also, my uncle Curt trusted me to help with farm work, like cultivating large fields of corn and soy beans with the old Farmall tractor.

There is something very satisfying about growing your own vegetables. Of course, the weeding is a pain. They grow without any encouragement. So far in Middlefield this summer, the watering has begun early. Who would have expected a drought in late May and early June?

My favorite vegetable to plant is the edamame bean. My Mom took a liking to them and saved some seed back every year for next year’s garden. I do the same. We call them poppy beans because you boil them up with salt, squeeze the pod and the delicious nutty-flavored beans pop right into your mouth. I can eat dozens at dinner time. My grandkids love them, too.

There is a large Amish farm very near our home that produces wonderful fresh vegetables on a large scale for retail. We could simply buy fresh produce from Raymond and

The point is that life is often a battle. It requires observation, attention to problems, struggle and hard work. When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, life in the garden of paradise changed. Now we work by the sweat of our brow and learn perseverance. By faith, we ask God to intervene and show us His help and blessing.

In other words, it’s not just a garden. Your life also needs tended. You dare not drift along. There are many trials and temptations that sift your soul. The Bible says, “above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” You and I must be diligent to feed our faith daily. God’s Word nurtures us and guides us down the right path. We must be quick to forgive and protect our spirits from any bitterness.

We are wise to consider the things that pertain to eternity and invest our time and resources in what will last forever. God will reward those who sow justice, kindness, and mercy. We will reap a harvest of joy and peace. To walk humbly with our God is a prerequisite for a life that is wise and fruitful.

Roger Kruse will probably keep planting his garden until his final days. However, he looks forward to “a new heaven and a new earth” and eating from the tree of life, which yields its fruit every month.

“Since the story got out, we’ve got two more victims,” Hildenbrand said. “One guy was hit in the face with two eggs. He was in an open cart and the other guy was in a buggy, and they threw a whole dozen eggs at him. Same day and same area.”

The Amish man in the open cart was temporarily blind in one eye, but has regained his vision, the sheriff said. The third Amish man hit with the eggs was not injured.

Hildenbrand said his detectives interviewed the teenagers June 1.

“So far they’ve all admitted to it. They admitted to throwing them at the Amish, they were throwing them at street signs,” he said. “Just driving around thinking they were having a good time.”

The sheriff said the teenagers were not arrested because they are juveniles. However, their cases will be sent to the Geauga County Prosecutor’s Office for appropriate charges.

“There’s a possibility that they could be charged with a hate crime, if they were targeting only the Amish,” explained Hildenbrand, adding that other than streets signs there is no evidence they were throwing eggs at anyone other than the Amish.

“It appears they were not just throwing them (eggs) at the buggies, they were throwing them inside the buggies,” he said. “It appears that they were intentionally trying to hit the people and not just the buggies. As they approached them (Amish), they turned on their bright lights so the Amish couldn’t see them, the victims couldn’t see them, and then they whipped these eggs inside the buggies or at the people, not at the object.”
