It's Your 'WellBeing'Middlefield Post June 24, 2015

Post PlusCountry Roads

By Nancy Huth

After growing up on East 126 street, a logically, but not very picturesquely named street, I’ve always been fascinated by colorful street names. When streets no longer followed a grid design, but began to curve and wander, they were called avenues, roads, lanes and drives. They might be named after trees (Elm, Oak) or after flowers (Tulip, Primrose). There would be a group of them named after rivers, poets, inventors. Here in Geauga (Indian for raccoon) many street names have a history, or at least a meaning or a message. It’s clear where Chardon Windsor Road will take you, depending on the direction you’re traveling. Same for Claridon Troy Road.

Early settlers often had streets n a m e d a f t e r them such as T a y l o r - W e l l s Road. Middlefield itself was named for being half-w a y b e t w e e n Painesvi l le and Warren on the railroad line. So when you reached this town you knew you were at mid-point.

How about Swine Creek? How

did that ever get its name? A naturalist from the Geauga Park District told me that though there is no written proof, the oral story is that local farmers used to water their pigs and hogs in the creek since there were an abundance of oak and hickory nut trees for the animals to forge on. Another story is that farmers drove their hogs over land to holding pens in Middlefield, stopping to water them at the creek.

Nauvoo has always sounded like an Indian word to me, but it is derived from a variant of the Hebrew “nawveh”, meaning a place of rest or a beautiful pasture. We know it from Psalm 23:2 “He makes me to lie down

in green pastures”. The street was so named by Mormons who settled there in the mid 1800s. Founder Joseph Smith had studied Hebrew in Kirtland.

Girdle Road is so named because trees were girdled to stop their growth. One meaning of girdle is a ring cut around a tree trunk branch removing the bark.

Jug Road was named after a

bootlegger who lived there and hung a jug out in front of his property.

Tavern Road was named after an early tavern located on the corner of Mumford Road and Route 168. It was rumored that this was a stop on the Underground Railroad, so it was colloquially

called Nigger Tavern.Shedd Road used to be called Fritzle Byler Road.

Fritzle in German means little Fritz. This Swiss man was the grandfather of Andy Byler who runs Byler Meats on Shedd Road.

Roads such as Peters, Nash and Newcomb were named after families, as was Bundysburg which has a cemetery on it where members of the Bundy family are buried.

Mespo-Parkman Road was originally called Coffee Corners Road after a coffee peddler spilled his wares there.

My thanks to Eli Miller in Mesopotamia for filling me in on many interesting facts. Eli owns a Geauga County Atlas and Directory from 1937 which has ads for Hostetler General Building Contractors and Fritinger Builders Supplies, which used to stand where CVS is now. These are names still familiar in Middlefield and surroundings.

Hula Hoops, Chicken Coops And Front Porch Stoops

By Ellie Behman

When the hula hoop was first introduced, we all struggled to be the best, the fastest and tried

desperately to keep it going around our small hips. I would give my eye teeth to be able to move like that today. I have the hips but no energy to keep it up and going. Timing, as they say, is everything.

As I remember the hazy, lazy days of summer from my youth, the memories are vivid. My friends and I would meet up on the sidewalk and there were never ending games to play. Hop scotch was a favorite sidewalk game and easy to create. All we had to do was find a stone, which served as chalk, to mark the blocks and the games began.

In my neighborhood our houses were close together and neighbors dropped by frequently to join us on the front stoop to share a glass of lemonade. Everyone knew each other by name and conversations were limitless. Those hazy, lazy days of summer are long gone but not forgotten. Times were simple, slow and imaginations were active.

When my dad bought a small piece of property in the suburbs and put up a chicken coop, we spent many weekends

picnicking out there and he was in his glory as he planted his garden. I also had a new place to play. The coop served many purposes (except for keeping chickens). We were able to use it as a cabin when we decided to stay overnight and it held tools as well as all the food and utensils for our many picnics. You could say staying there was my first experience at camping out.

Today, as I look up into the clouds, I smile to myself and remember the “find a face” game we played. Some clouds looked like animals while other black, puffy ones sometimes resembled large giants. We were never at a loss for entertainment. The words “I’m bored” were seldom heard. Kids may laugh at my recollections, but when their electronics break down, I’ll be the one laughing while I try to keep my hula hoop up and spinning.

Ellie has been a freelance writer for more than 40 years and has written over 400 articles. She and her husband spend as much time as possible at their cabin where they enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area. This is where the majority of her writing is done as it is the perfect quiet setting for a writer.

by General Franco, and for Jews who were running from Nazi Germany. It was one of six camps opened up along the French-Spanish border to house these refugees, meant to prevent the major city of Toulouse towards the south of France from becoming inundated by waves of humanity. Around the middle of 1941 the camp was closed in preparation for its reopening in August

1942 as part of Germany’s ‘Final Solution’ for the eradication of the European Jewish population. By the time it was finally and permanently closed in 1945, the camp in Septfonds had detained and then sent 295 Jews to Auschwitz.

While this period in French history is dark and regrettable, the people of Septfonds have done things to bring healing to their collective consciences. On the site of the former ‘Camp of the Jews’ stands one of the original barrack houses, and inside there are pictures and articles hanging on the walls that describe in detail the history of the site. On the road to the camp, close to the middle of Septfonds, there is a memorial, which consists of two monuments dedicated to the memory of those Jews who went through the Septfonds camp. On the one is an inscription that gives remembrance to those who were betrayed, and also to those who would have been their rescuers: ‘On Aug. 23 and Sept. 2, 1942, 295 Jews, of which 26 were children, residing in Tarn et Garonne and Lot, were gathered in Septfonds, delivered to the Nazis by the Vichy government and deported to Auschwitz. May those who tried to help them be thanked.’

And on the other is a poem written by a Henry Grau, that speaks to the experience of being a Jew during that time in history, how the victims need to be remembered, and what rescue meant to a Jew at the end of the war:

Some men wanted my death. Oh, full of hate they believed they could

There are places in Geauga County where it seems you can feel history come up from the ground into your feet. There are facts about the history of the area that are interesting from an instinctual part of our minds, perhaps the romantic and nostalgic part that attaches mystery and emotion to long known/forgotten places and events. For instance, Chardon is the seat of county government today, but before 1809 when it was chosen to be the capital of Geauga County, some residents wanted Champion (renamed Painesville in 1832) to be the location for county justice. The first settlement in the county was in Burton in 1798, when three families from Connecticut decided to settle there. To us Northeast Ohioans, these dates

feel old and even ancient in some ways, and in some ways they are; America isn’t an old country, and dates of 215 years ago or so feel almost prehistoric to her citizens. But the blessing that is America, or was America depending on your point of view, is really very recent history. The difference in age between America and France is large, but there are a few interesting similarities between Geauga County and the ‘county’ we live in here in France, Tarn-et-Garonne.

The history of Geauga County you may already know, and these bits of history might be old-hat to you. The history of Tarn-et-Garonne though, and specifically the village we live in here, Septfonds, will be new for you. To compare: Tarn-et-Garonne was founded Nov. 4, 1808 by Napolean; Geauga County was founded March 1, 1806, so their respective ages are very similar. Geauga County was formed from Trumbull County, becoming the second county in the region. Tarn-et-Garonne ‘county’ was formed from land taken from the counties of Lot, Haute Garonne, Gers, and Averyon, so both counties were formed through the subtraction of others. The village of Septfonds’ age, though, is much older than the county it is in, by about 550 years.

The history of Tarn-et-Garonne, while similar in a few ways to Geauga County, also has its major differences. The Septfonds Internment Camp, or ‘Camp of the Jews’, was built and put into service in 1939. It was originally meant to house Spaniards fleeing the overthrow of the Spanish government

Polish Farmers Tour Geauga

across Poland. While the magazine distributes to 50,000, they explain that copies are often read and passed along to others in rural areas, making the readership three to four times larger.

As much as 60 percent of the land in Poland is used for agriculture, and the quality of the land makes for quantities large enough for export to neighboring European countries. Following the de-collectivization of farming in the 1950s, the agriculture industry has since been looking to get the most of their industry, now open to entrepreneurial pursuits. Agricultural business in America has yielded many innovations, and it is no doubt ripe with ideas that might prove valuable to Poland’s growing industry as traditional subsistence farming transitions into business.

Karol Bujoczek, chief editor of Top Agrar Polska, and 44 of their readers (most of whom run their own farms and companies in Poland) learned and saw firsthand the ins and outs of livestock, dairy, and crop business in the United States. Bujoczek served as the translator on their expedition, jovially translating English into a device that transmitted to radios carried by the Polish-speaking visitors. When asked the biggest difference between agriculture in the United States and in Poland, Karol explains, “We see a lot of corn and soy. Farmers in Poland must maintain a diversity

of crops like small grains, rye, sugar, sugar beets, and corn. The farms in Poland are often handed down generationally, and passed along as a traditional trade. Here in the U.S., anyone can learn and start their own farm if they have a mind to.”

The farmers visited Sirna’s farm and their hydroponic facility in Mantua, and even held an impromptu and friendly planting competition placing sprouts from a flat into the rows of soil. Sirna’s, a family-owned farm, piqued the Polish farmers’ interest for their unique solution to addressing Ohio’s volatile climate. Utilizing hydroponics to protect and nurture sprouts while they are most vulnerable, Sirna’s circumvents hardiness issues and delays planting until crops are old enough to withstand weather fluctuations without the use of chemicals. Sirna’s provides only locally produced products like wine, jams, and jarred goods, as well as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program that provides organic beef, eggs, and vegetables on a subscription-like basis. Sirna’s Pizzeria, located in Chagrin Falls, makes further use of these locally grown ingredients to provide a fresh Italian dining experience. With a modernized focus on nutrition, the farm showcased the value of community-focused and organic farming to our European visitors.

4. Patio Dining Time. Why does everything seem to taste better when you are enjoying it outside? From the simple hamburger at a bar and grille to al fresco dining at a fine restaurant, there is something special about savoring a good meal under a clear blue sky, and Geauga County offers many such locations. Restaurants with amazing dining options offer patio views that range from the bustle of Chardon Square, to the tranquility of Punderson State Park; scenic golf courses or the Cuyahoga River. If all you crave is good food, ambiance, and some great entertainment, we’ve got that too. Our wineries offer unique options, from

full menus to the opportunity to bring your own picnic basket while enjoying their deck and wines.

5. It’s (so many to choose from)Fest Weekend. We know there is so much fun to be had in Geauga County, and during the summer months we emphasize the fun with festivals galore. SummerFest, ArtsFest, KidsFest, MusicFest, FamilyFest, FunFest, even ZucchiniFest. Of course, this is all before fall when we start looking at FallFest, BrewFest, PumpkinFest, AppleButterFest, OxtoberFest. Well you get the idea, so grab your spouse, grab the family, or just grab your most festive friend and join the fun.

The Owner’s Manual and Product Reviews

By Joe Novak

We are getting settled in our new house

and now I must get my farm ready to sell. I have plenty of tools and equipment that will not be moving to the new house since I

don’t have the room or the need. Sorting my tools into the two piles, sell and keep, has been physically and mentally challenging, after all, I may need that tool someday and letting go is like losing an old friend.

I have a file drawer of owner’s manuals that need to be included with their respective tools, something I never see at an auction or garage sale; most, I am certain, are discarded. I recently purchased a new car and reading the owner’s manual is a must with all the electronic gadgets. The radio is also a GPS, a phone and a computer that I can talk to, but only after reading the instructions, which, by the way, are also available on the radio.

When we moved I needed to convert my kitchen stove to natural gas from propane. This would not have been possible had I not kept the manual and the orifices’ needed to make the conversion. I love this stove with the top burner being gas and the oven electric for baking. I did consult the manual to operate the delay start and warming drawer features, something I was

not aware it had. Most manufacturers are now including

a “quick reference guide” for those who refuse to read the manual but can’t figure out how to get things started. These guides also include pictures and very basic instructions with safety features highlighted. Some foreign manufacturers do a less than perfect translation when writing their manuals and I find it easier to go to my computer and see if there is a YouTube video on that particular product. I also use YouTube to find reviews and product performance comments that have been quite helpful in determining if I should make the purchase.

I recently installed two jackshaft garage door openers, (liftmaster 8500) that I found on line. The review and the installation YouTube video made a complex installation a breeze and I am completely satisfied with the product and performance of these door openers; technology simplified by the technology of video. I love gadgets and a Dashcam is the next item for my new car.

To find out what Joe would do, e-mail questions to [email protected]. Joe has 20-some years experience in manufacturing and says that as a small business owner, he found that you either learn how to solve a problem yourself or pay to have it done. Joe’s articles are his opinion and are only intended as a guide. Please consult an expert when in doubt.

Rotarians Doing Good in Northeast OhioSubmitted By Michael P. Davanzo, district governor

Service and generosity describe the 2,000 plus Rotarians in the northeast Ohio counties of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Medina, Portage, Summit, and part of Lorain. Rotarians belong to 53 different Rotary Clubs and are part of Rotary International, which operate in over 200 countries. The motto of Rotary International is Service above Self. Rotarians are committed to doing good in their communities and in the world. On a weekly basis, they come together in fellowship to break bread, join leaders, share ideas, and take action.

Giving dictionaries to third graders, scholarships to high school students, beautifying communities, building safety towns, feeding the hungry, working with and helping special needs individuals, adopting families at the holidays, giving food baskets at Thanksgiving, honoring dedicated c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s , s u p p o r t i n g programs for children, supporting local schools, helping with community events, supporting non-profits and local charities are just some of the activities that Rotarians do in their communities. They partner with clubs in other countries to help with disease prevention, maternal and prenatal health, literacy and education, clean water and sanitation, and economic development. In the most recent disaster in Nepal, Rotarians in this district committed to over $52,000 to send shelter boxes to Nepal used for temporary housing.

So far this year, Rotarians have contributed over $90,000, using club funds and matching funds from Our Rotary

Foundation. They have spent over $150,000 in International Projects and donations. The more impressive number is $750,000 plus raised and spent locally in Northeast Ohio. So when you contribute to a Rotary fund raiser, or attend one, you are part of this very generous aid to our local communities. Most recently, our clubs participated in Rotary Days, where Rotarians invited their communities to be part of a fun-filled day.

The most celebrated international project of Rotary is the effort and commitment to eradicate polio from the world. Rotary is so close to achieving this goal as there are only three countries left where Polio is endemic. According to the latest report, this year, only 28 new cases were found. This is great news considering that when Rotary started the quest to eradicate polio there were 350,000 cases of polio worldwide.

You can help the Rotary by joining, going to a fundraiser, donating, or sponsoring an event. Rotarians are busy (over 28,000 volunteer hours) and they raise money to help locally and internationally. Rotary also has many programs for youth: a high school Interact Club, a college level Rotaract Cub, foreign exchange student opportunities, speaking contest, and leadership development.

As the 2014 -15 District Governor of this District 6630, I am proud and humbled to represent this organization and excited to share our vision with you. If you would like more information about Rotary email at [email protected].

Starving for NutritionBy Dr. David Fakadej

People committed to a cause leave a wide wake

for everyone to see. Consider the Somalia people, in general gaunt to skeletal starving, having little to no care in the world

other than food. Nobody missed this wake, and it was not voluntary.

Consider meat eaters starving for nutrition thus resulting in early death from cardiovascular/heart disease, stoke, and cancer. Meat-eaters are undernourished through a lack of nutrients found only in vegetables, and the meats they eat are loaded with hormones, antibiotics, and chemicals to insure freshness. Public statistics speak highly to their wake.

Consider vegetarians, in general gaunt, opinionated, and starving for nutrition resulting in early death with the same diseases as meat-eaters plus an increased risk of degenerative brain disease and osteoporosis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7KeRwdIH04 Dr Michael Greger). Vegans are undernourished because of a lack of nutrients, found only in meats, and veggies represent an “Empty Harvest” (book title) of plant starved foods plumped up with three minerals (K, N, P, which I consider as plant hormones), genetic modification, and chemicals to insure freshness. Humans do not have the massive digestive capacity to handle the requirement of vegan elephants, cows, rhinos, etc.

Consider the longest-lived healthiest

people on the planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-jk9ni4XWk (Blue Zones around the world). Age 100 plus, working, driving, playing, still engaged in the world not sitting in a home with the average diet including a mix of meats and vegetables with slightly more emphasis on vegetables.

Each of the four groups above leave a wide wake. Which do you prefer? Which do you proffer? With a 2/3 overweight to obese (33 percent overweight and 33 percent obese), Americans (fatsos and bean poles) are starving equally alongside Somalia for nutrition.

The sad fact is, it matters not which we prefer or proffer. The problem is that people express opinions for profit while ignoring what we eat and how it comes to us. Nobody is discussing food rotation. How many days working the same job before boredom? Most people say two days. The immune system is the same with food. Two days of the same food depresses the immune system. We eat hormonally and chemically enriched food shipped 1,500 miles to market. We must include gas transportation, packaging, and stocking costs to offer literally cheaper mass produce (nutrition and price) than locally grown fresh food, ripe off the vine organic. This means accessing healthy bacteria in the soil that requires crop rotation since soil gets ‘bored and depressed’ if we grow the same crop twice in a row and non-chemical fertilization (no insecticides/pesticides) to offer plants rich nutrition.

I dare say 90 percent of Americans financially support the cheaper malnourished store produce. Fixing the issue requires 90 percent of Americans must change. Cheaper malnourished produce today translates to expensive health care later. America is the proving ground. Expensive food today translates to reduced health care costs later. In evidence, compare America’s ranking in health and cost of healthcare to that of Europe, Canada, and Cuba, or almost any country but Somalia.

Changing healthcare policy does nothing to improve the quality of soil and food. Another new diet plan won’t improve the quality of soil or food. How do I know that as a fact? Look at American’s wake, changing diets and changing health care in 100 years made us sicker, more opinionated (or arrogant in the eyes of other countries), with the most expensive healthcare. Many vegans avoid meat because of cruelty to animals, which backfired by allowing the cruelty to continue and creating cruelty to vegetables. Mass produce is not healthy. We need to rebuild the food supply from the ground up - literally.

Sun MythA suntan’s fine, as long as you don’t

burn. Reality: You are at risk even if you never burn. The more sun you get, the

more likely you are to develop certain skin cancers, no matter what your skin tone. Any tan indicates damage to your skin.

Brooks House Partners With Burton Elementary

The quiet peace after breakfast on June 1 at Brooks House Assisted Living was broken with the arrival of 20 third graders from Burton Elementary School. The students had been pen pals with the residents since the beginning of the school year and they were finally to meet face to face. This project was the idea of Fran King, the activities d i r e c t o r w h o w a n t e d t h e r e s i d e n t s t o i n t e r a c t w i t h local students. G i n a K r i z , t h e s t u d e n t s ’ teacher took on the challenge to help students work on their w r i t i n g s k i l l s and encourage a heart to serve. Unlikely f r i e n d s h i p s w e r e f o r g e d between 8 and 9 year olds and 80 and 90 year olds. The Burton E l e m e n t a r y School PTO generously funded the trip.

At the beginning of the school year each group put together bound books with personal biographies, photos, information about their families, favorite things, hobbies and more, then sent them to their new friends. Letters were written, sometimes

between individuals and sometimes as groups. Questions were asked and often answered through digital media. In one video clip, a girl demonstrates how to ice skate. Another features residents teaching folksongs from their childhoods.

Every month, residents made cookies and had them delivered to the classroom. The children were so appreciative, each time shouting out, “These are the best ones!” One month the residents sent Monkey Bread, a sweet, sticky bread, and one little girl declared them “ Monkeylicious!” with a big grin.

Throughout the year, Brooks House residents encouraged students’ academic achievements, making hand crafted awards as the children learned math and attained reading goals. Students encouraged residents with bright, colorful pictures and get well posters when needed. There were

Blessing Trees at Thanksgiving, elf stories at Christmas, and personal history lessons on The Great Depression. The bonds of friendship formed quickly.

As the school year came to a close, the children could not wait to visit their new friends at Brooks House. They entered

timidly, but soon grew more relaxed. Both groups started out singing old folk songs like “You are my Sunshine” and “She’ll be coming around the M o u n t a i n ” and then ended proudly s i n g i n g p a t r i o t i c favorites. After music, they played an

interactive game of Crazy Questions and had lunch.

Then the magic began. The children sought out their elder friends, chatting with them and asking questions about their favorite childhood memories or ideal jobs. This went on for quite awhile as teacher, activity assistants, and caregivers looked on. A new light flickered in the eyes of the residents, and an innocent admiration radiated from the children. This visit was a delight to everyone involved, and as can be seen in the photos, the joy of friendship looks the same on any face, no matter the age.

Sun Myth: A beach umbrella blocks the sun. Reality: It’s not foolproof. UV radiation can be reflected up from the ground, so stay in the shade when the sun’s rays are

high, but make sure you’re also slathered with sunscreen.
