he Village of Middlefield is launching
a unique Farmers Market that offers
Amish produce, fresh baked goods,
jams and jellies, maple syrup, local
produce, leather crafts and other area
products beginning Saturday, July 6 from 9
a.m. to noon and continuing each Saturday
through Sept. 28 at Mineral Lake Park on
Sperry Lane in Middlefield. Parking will be
available on Grove Street during the Sperry
Lane construction. Admission is free, and
there will be plenty of giveaways, tastings,
cooking demonstrations and family
activities.
Kaitlyn Sirna will manage this entire
event. She is a local face, a graduate of
Kenston High School, who participated
in The Great Geauga County Fair as an
active member of the 4-H Community
throughout
her
childhood.
Upon
graduating, she packed up and attended
school in
Chicago.
It was not
until she was
in the city, which was a big difference
from the farm she grew up on in Auburn,
that she realized how much respect
she had for her rural roots. Kaitlyn says,
“I changed my reading lists to include
Buddhist philosophy and writings about
Nature from the Romanticism movement.”
Upon reading more, learning more, and
continually walking on concrete, she
decided to kick off her shoes and get
involved with Urban Farmers Organization.
Kaitlyn took advantage of Chicago’s great
array of green space and parks.

She enjoyed reading under trees amid the
contemporary backdrop of Chicago, while
obtaining her Bachelors of Arts from DePaul
University in English Literature with a minor
in Philosophy. She came home summers
to work farmers’ markets and run her
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
program. Combining her Ohio knowledge
and classes at DePaul, she began to
understand the importance of food justice
and activism and it is because of this that
she is a stout supporter of all things ‘local’.
She encourages friends and strangers to
get to know their farmers and buy things
on an intimate level, emphasizing the
importance of community in a commerce
relationship. She’s excited to be back in
Geauga County, with her feet on grass
rather than concrete, and she hopes to
bring a fresh perspective to a much larger
environmentally concerned movement.
Products available at the farmers
market will include seasonal vegetables
and berries, fresh eggs, honey, fresh
baked goods, cheese, organic lettuce,
maple cotton candy, beef jerky and more.
University Hospital Geauga Medical

Middlefield’s one-time movie theater, the MU-MAC was located where the Sparrow
Christian Bookstore and the Village Barber are currently. Ken Mumaw and his father-in-law, Dr.
G. W. McIlroy built the theater in the late 1940s. It lasted about 15 years until 1962 when it was
purchased by Clarence Lorson and his wife Maude. They renovated the building and moved her
business, Middlefield 5 & 10, to this location.

The Cardinal Thinkers
After a great deal of background
information through Social Studies and
Art class, sixth-grade students at Cardinal
Middle School in Middlefield traveled to
University Circle to experience art first
hand. From Monet’s “Water Lilies” to Andy
Warhol’s “Marilyn”. One hundred students
got a glimpse of the many different
techniques of both modern and classic
artists. Students enjoyed the Collections
Wall which is an interactive exhibit using
touch screens as well as the Focus Gallery
which displays featured artwork. As part of
their visit, teachers and students used the
ARTLENS app for iPad to learn about the
artwork and find their way around. Students
shared their favorites, among them the
painting of Anne Frank, the renaissance
painters, the impressionists and of course
the armor room. Students admired the
artwork with enthusiasm and respect. It
was an exciting opportunity which they
thoroughly enjoyed.
Posing with Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker”
are Cardinal Middle School sixth-grade
students on their recent trip to the Cleveland
Museum of Art.

How We Talk With Our Children
By Gary Lee Cox
The way we talk to our kids has a huge
impact on their learning and ability to listen
to us. More importantly, it is how we talk
with our children and what they learn from
us. We are constantly modeling to our kids
how to act and behave in the way we talk
with them. The way we speak to them and
those around us is showing them how we
want them to speak back to us. Research
has found that there are generally three
different ways that adults and parents
communicate with their kids. The first one is in an aggressive
way. These adults yell a lot, put their kids
down and use attacking words. Their
children respond in many different ways,
mainly by acting out a lot more, feeling
fearful, yelling back and ignoring constant
orders.
The second form of communication
commonly seen is a passive form. These
parents mutter soft, cautious words and
tones to their kids finding that their children
ignore them. Lastly, the third way that we adults
can communicate with our kids is in a
mature way. This has been found to be by
far the most effective way to communicate
with kids at all age levels. A mature way is
an assertive way of communicating, it is
firm, consistent, clear, positive, warm and
confident. Communicating with kids in an
adult mature way is a real skill.
Positive and kind words give your child
more confidence, makes them feel happier,
helps them behave better, encourages
them to try hard and achieve success. They
learn to imitate you and deliver the same
respect and praise to others. When you
want your kids to cooperate with you, it is
far easier if they can understand why they
need them to do something and how it is to
their advantage to do so. Good manners at home or anywhere
shouldn’t be optional. If you model good
manners to your children and everyone
else, they will see that good manners is
expected and displayed on a consistent
level. Start teaching your children to say the
basics like “please” and “thank you” before
they can talk.
When asking your child to do
something, you will receive a greater
response by explaining what you want in
terms of thoughts and feelings by sending
“I messages”. This is far more effective than
using orders or sending “you messages”. If
your child is fully engrossed with something
or an activity and it is time to move on or
leave. Give them some advance warning
so they get used to the idea. For example
“George, it is nearly time to go. Start picking
up your toys please”.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. By all
means, enforce your serious rules firmly,
but try not to sweat the small stuff. Often
times kids will tune out from listening if
they tend to be lectured over little things
a lot. When you show your kids that you
accept and love them just the way they are
despite their differences, they will be more
likely to share their feelings and problems
with you. They will know that as they grow
and change, you will be there for them no
matter what. We do not have to accept
inappropriate behavior such as violence
or teasing. We can however accept and
love our kids as they are by their character,
personality and individual interests.
Make conversation a priority with your
kids. Open and comfortable communication
with your kids develops confidence, selfesteem, good relationships with others,
cooperation and warm relationships with
you. Take the time and effort to foster your
relationship and communication skills by
talking with your kids as much as you can.
Remember that talking with kids is a twoway street. Talk with them and then hear
what they have to say. Listening is just as
important as talking.

Local Student Wins Scholarships
Geauga Credit Union is pleased to announce that local student, Daniel McIlroy, has won
$5,500 in scholarships from the Northeast Chapter of the Ohio Credit Union League and the
Ohio Credit Union Foundation.
Daniel, a senior at NDCL, received a $2,500 scholarship from the Northeast Chapter of the
Ohio Credit Union League by writing a creative essay answering the question: “In our current
economic climate, what should credit unions do to make a difference in their communities?”
In his essay, Daniel wrote about going back in time and asking Thomas Jefferson, Abraham
Lincoln, Clara Barton and Martin Luther King, Jr. the above question. Daniel’s winning entry
was forwarded on to the state level where the Ohio Credit Union Foundation chose his essay
as one of five winners in the state to receive a $3,000 scholarship.
Daniel, the oldest of eight children of Robert and Susan McIlroy will attend Gannon
University and major in Sports and Exercise Science. He is very involved in his church
and many community service organizations. He volunteers at the Cleveland Clinic Sports
Rehabilitation Center and hopes someday to work with a professional athletic team. Daniel’s
parents are proud of his accomplishments and thankful for the scholarship opportunities.
Being the oldest of eight children, the scholarships are vital to Daniel going to college and
also show his younger siblings what they can accomplish.
“The board members and I were pleasantly surprised when Daniel was introduced at
the local chapter meeting and likewise impressed by his essay. Our hats off to Daniel,” said
Lisa Briggs, CEO.

The graduating Geauga County Leadership class of 2013
Leadership Geauga Class of 2013
By Rachel Hunziker
Leadership Geauga County is an
organization where the purpose is to
identify current and future leaders from
various backgrounds and walks of life in
Geauga County. The program is designed
to develop leaders through first-hand
educational experiences.
The Leadership Geauga Class of 2013
convened in September 2012. Right off
the bat, the class members connected and
became close friends. It’s been a whirlwind
of a year. The class finished up on June 7
with a graduation ceremony where the
class reflected and shared their experiences
of the previous year.
“A sincere and heartfelt thanks to Dr.
Bob Faehnle and Laura Holcomb for the
support and dedication they provided
to the Leadership Geauga Class of 2013.
Their love and commitment to the Geauga
County Community goes above and beyond
and provided us with a truly amazing and
memorable experience. Thank you for all
you do.” ~ Laura Marsic
“To two wonderful people who love
the people and places of Geauga County,
bodacious Dr. Bob Faehnle and lovely Laura
Holcomb, a hundred million thanks for
getting us together and cheering us on in
unique ways so that we, too, have grown to
love the good people and places of Geauga
County. Leadership Geauga is the Name!
Dr. Bob and Laura bring it Fame! I’ll stop
right here.” ~ Lisa Novak, SND
“My heart is filled with thanksgiving
for being part of the graduating class of
2013. Dr. Bob, you definitely are living
your purpose that is at hand, because you
are a wonderful leader for Leadership! The
dedication and love you put into all that
this year has become is truly a gift to our
class. Thank you!
“Laura, your tender heart and love
that you have for Leadership never goes
unnoticed. I started the year with you
being a stranger, and ended calling you
friend. Thank you for all of your support
and for keeping Dr. Bob where he needed
to be. Your presence will most definitely
be missed! I wish you the best of luck with
your agency. I am blessed to be working
with you. Cheers to you my friend!” ~ Cathi
Mezzopera
“Thank you for showing me the
vastness of potential and possibility in
Geauga County. This has been an amazing
year of education, growth personally and
professionally, friendship and fun!” ~ Lori L.
Gorrell, ACC
“The 2013 Leadership Geauga class
would like to express their sincere gratitude
to Dr. Bob Faehnle and Laura Holcomb
for a truly informative, enjoyable and
enlightening school year. It has been a
distinct honor to be members of this year’s
class and learning process under your
direction and leadership. Thank you for this
valuable and worthwhile experience!” ~
Jennell Dahlhausen
Laura Christian brought it home and
put it into perspective for all involved, this
was a great lesson for anyone ending a
chapter in life and moving on to the next.
“Last night was a wonderful way to
summarize (not finalize) a great experience!
I hope we will have lovey-dovey reunions!
You don’t have to be shopping to stop in
the shop to say hello. Company is always
welcome. Thank you to each of you.” ~ Love,
Laura
Although the Leadership Geauga Class
of 2013 year has ended, it is clear that this
class of 31 dynamic leaders will continue to
stay close, stay connected and continue to
provide leadership in the community.

When on the Course, Carry a Short
Memory
By Ryan Coleman
In the game of golf, it is extremely important to keep a level head throughout the round.
I’m not talking swing mechanics either.
The mental game in golf, or any sport, is a constant challenge from the average Joes to
the elite pros. The ability to maintain a high level of focus in the mind is crucial when working
to improve one’s score. Hit a bad shot? Oh, well. There’s nothing you can do about it, because
guess what, it’s done and over with. The only shot that matters is the next one.
It’s natural as a human to become frustrated when things aren’t going well. We don’t all
show it the same, but some are more affected by negativity than others. When I first started
playing competitive golf at the age of 12, I had a hard time keeping my emotions in check.
There were several times when I made a complete fool of myself, whether it was shouting
in anger or slamming a club. I would embarrass my own parents, who sacrificed time out of
their days to go watch their son play. Bottom line: rarely does throwing a fit help fix your slice.
Whenever I’m playing a serious round of golf, I try my best to forget about the shot I just
hit. It doesn’t matter if I hooked it, sliced it, crushed it down the middle or stuck it close to the
pin. Great, good, bad or ugly, I play with a short memory. You should, too.
Ryan Coleman is the director of golf at Grandview Golf Club, 13404 Old State Road in Middlefield
(44062)440-834-1824. He has been playing golf for 16 years and enjoys watching and playing
sports, listening to music and hanging out with family and friends. He graduated from Berkshire
High School in 2006, then went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in Communications from John
Carroll University in 2011.

Cardinal School Safety
&
By Kathy McClure, president MCC
The Cardinal Safety Committee is
acting today to put safety measures in place
in the four local school buildings.
The committee, comprised of Police
chief, Arnold Stanko; Fire chief, Bill Reed;
James Howard, Matt Galemo, Mayor Ben
Garlich, Wendy Anderson, Scott Hunt,
Scott Klein, Ben Reed, Kathy McClure, Jim
Byler, established a goal: to be responsive
to our local community and our personal
and professional responsibility by employing
protection mechanisms, as feasible, to keep
our Cardinal School Children safe while in the
school’s care.
The committee places a high priority
on safety features that can be provided
physically to make all school buildings safer.
Buses are included in the care umbrella.
In 2012, bus monitoring cameras were
requested by school administration, funded
by the Middlefield Chamber of Commerce
and placed in Cardinal buses.
Members of this safety coalition
resolved to research, recommend and act in
accordance with what could be done to add
security, realizing there is virtually nothing
that can be done to PREVENT a tragedy.
Emergency Management Plans typically
cover 1) Mitigation, 2) Preparedness, 3)
Response and 4) Recovery.
In public meetings (there were
three, averaging attendance of about
40-60 people, including committee and
administration) much was discussed
including: arm teachers (not lawful
within current rules); position the police
substation inside a school building; hire
retired military or law enforcement to patrol
all buildings and be armed – referred to as
“SRO” – security resource officer (approx
cost $40-$70,000/year for one officer);
create a better and more secure mechanism
for allowing entry to only authorized and
identified individuals to school buildings;
more securely limit unauthorized access at
sporting events (propped open doors, etc);
exercise current and updated evacuation
practices, including drills with and
without emergency personnel; qualify the
engagement of faculty to ensure their full
participation and understanding of critical
nature of emergency preparedness; employ
the practices of NIMS (National Incident
Management System); at the urging of
the Sherriff’s office, the ALICE program
(ALICE stands for Alert-Lockdown-InformCounter-Evacuate) should not ideally be
employed; update the Falcon System of
locks with Master Key entry system securely
available to First Responders in the event of
an emergency; not fall prey to the making a
perpetrator out to be a hero in the eyes of
Printing

Middlefield Village Update
By Mayor Ben Garlich
We
are
in
the
process
of
reviewing
proposals for
a Middlefield
V i l l a g e
Comprehensive
Plan. Utilizing
the input of
local talented
people, we will be able to produce a
plan that will set the flavor of our future
development as well as create goals for
existing areas that need improvement.
I look forward to a comprehensive
document that will set the stage and give
us the footprint we need to set an action
plan with goals and completion dates. We
felt the timing was appropriate as we’ve
recently expanded our Village boundaries,
have some new projects in the works and
continue to aggressively go after new
investment. We will solicit input after the
contract is awarded.
In the month of June, we are producing
a video that touts the attributes of our
Village. The focus will be all encompassing,
in that it will give illustration to the positives
for residing here as well as locating a
commercial or industrial business in our
Village. We are fortunate to have local
business leaders who will represent each of
these aspects and are willing to participate
and assist in helping us market this Village.
I look forward to the final result and want
to personally thank those participating
individuals for sacrificing their time to assist
us with telling the story of what Middlefield
Village has to offer.
Free community garden plots are
still available at George Knox Park on
Woodsong behind the Tractor Supply plaza.
Water is available and if you have a desire
to grow your own vegetables, fruit or herbs
and don’t have the space at your residence,
I encourage you to call Village Hall, 440-6325248, to reserve a plot.
The Middlefield Farmers Market will
begin July 6 at Mineral Lake Park. University
Hospitals has joined forces with us along
with many quality vendors to create a great
family experience with activities for all ages.
We hope to draw from a large demographic
and I can guarantee the quality of all
vendors. You will not be disappointed with
the many activities or any product you
purchase. I hope you will take advantage
of this unique experience. Visit www.
middlefieldohio.com.
Be involved, shop local.

Firehouse
from the
By Chief Bill Reed
SCHOOLS OUT! Keep a watchful eye out for our children. Keep a watchful eye out
for motorcyclists! Many of the Department’s most frequent calls are what we refer to as
MVA’s, aka motor vehicle accidents. Our firefighters train endlessly on removing patients
from all manner of twisted steel, metal, plastic and fiberglass thanks to generous citizens
and many donated wrecked vehicles and from Middlefield area business Jeff’s Towing. Tow
truck operator Darrell Moody of Jeff’s Towing has trained in many specialty rescue trainings
alongside Middlefield and other area firefighters. Specifically, the renowned “Big Rig Rescue”
training, instructed by well-known rescue instructor Billy Leach.
Middlefield Fire has many state of the art hydraulic rescue tools, including, Holmatro
and TNT Tools with rams, cutters, spreaders, combination spreader/cutters and a variety
of hand tools and accessories. We also have a Rescue Jacks vehicle shoring system. Care is
always practiced to protect our patients from glass, flammable liquids and all other hazards.
Often a paramedic or EMT are in the vehicle as we attempt to extricate expeditiously, yet
carefully from the twisted wreck. A goal used to be to get the patient to definitive care within
the “Golden Hour”. As techniques improve and we train ever so intensely, we are raising the
bar to have the patient packaged and ready for the advanced patient care expertise of the
air medical transport personnel. Middlefield residents are indeed fortunate to have the
University MedEvac aircraft at our own Geauga County Airport and Metro Lifeflight within
close proximity as an available resource. There are certain protocols that indicate the need
to fly a patient. We understand the expense and inconvenience but the benefit always out
weighs the inconvenience. It is often the difference between survival and losing a patient.
Sometimes, citizens become disgruntled at the delay in opening highways in the event
of an MVA. In addition to the task of extricating our patients, we have the responsibility
to protect our rescuers, law enforcement officers and tow truck operators. We take our
responsibility of protecting our public safety forces and patients and even bystanders very
seriously. Attempts to ignore accident scene protective measurements are dealt with often
with law enforcement agencies and they also take this responsibility seriously. So please be
patient and understanding with us. It may be your friend or loved one we are attempting to
save.
Thanks for your support; it’s a pleasure to serve you.

Be Helmet Smart
Children age 14 and under are very vulnerable to head injury while riding their bicycles.
This remains true regardless of how responsible and careful your children are while riding.
Helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of a life-long brain and head injury by 85
percent. Nationally, AAA reports that only a small percent of all kids wear bike helmets.
Our police department and community are proud to participate in the Helmet Safety
campaign. Through it, we are encouraging all parents to take an active role in their children’s
safety by encouraging them to wear bike helmets at all times while riding. Did you know
that helmets that meet ASTM shatter-resistant impact standards, helmets that can save your
child’s life, can be purchased for as little as $10?
This year, officers from our department and other area police departments will issue a
Safety Citation when they witness a bicyclist wearing a safety helmet. The citation can be
redeemed at the Middlefield Dairy Queen for a free ice cream cone. The bearer of the citation
is also enteredinto a drawing where the winner will ride off on a bicycle courtesy of AAA.
We have information available on how parents can encourage their children to make
it a habit to wear a bicycle helmet every time they ride. The materials include “Parent-Child
Contract/Tips for Parents” and information on safety helmet use. Be sure to sign the ParentChild Contract and discuss it thoroughly with your children. If you have any questions, please
contact our department at 440-632-5224 or AAA at 800-845-0375.
Remember, your child’s bicycle is a vehicle not a toy. Use of helmets can prevent a tragic
life-long injury. Only through your active involvement will your children form the helmet
habit every time they ride their bicycles. It is very important that you set an example for your
children by always properly wearing a helmet whenever you are riding a bike, too. There is
no better way to show your love for your children than to protect them from serious injury
than by having them wear a helmet every time they ride. For additional information visit
www.middlefieldohio.com.

How Sweet They Are -- Ohio Strawberries
Troy Homecoming Community Festival
The first red ripe strawberries have appeared in their sweet splendor, a sure sign that
summer has officially arrived in northeast Ohio. It’s been a few years since the Grovers
started picking strawberries by June 10. Last year they were 2 weeks early; this year they are
right on target. The week of June 17 will be a prime week for picking and the berries should
peak around June 22.
The Grovers had a rough start this spring. The middle of May brought frosts and if a
patch experiences a hard frost it could burn up to 35 percent of the crop. Ridgeview Farm
uses overhead water irrigation so the frost will not “settle in” on the berries and burn the
flowers. “Steve was up several nights to protect the strawberry flowers,” Sharon Grover
stated. “But the sleepless nights were worth it.”
Fields are open Monday thru Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon until the fields are picked out.
Farmer Steve encourages customers to call ahead to get the picking forecast. Customers can
also buy pre-picked berries at the farm market Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“We pick our strawberries at the peak of sweetness and get them to customers the same day,”
explained Steve Grover.
The Grovers encourage people to bring their children along to help pick since children
are the farm’s future customers.
For information, visit Ridgeview Farm’s Web site, Ridgeviewfarmtours.com or call 440693-4000. The farm is located on top of “Mespo Hill” on Route 87 in Mesopotamia, 3.5 miles
east of Middlefield.
Troy Homecoming is a free community festival held at the Troy Community Center, 13950
Main Market Road in Burton ( 44021) on August 9 to 11. A team of community-oriented folks
has joined forces to rekindle a century old tradition. 2013 will be Troy Homecoming’s third
year of revival, bringing back nostalgic games, living history through Civil War encampment,
live entertainment and other wholesome activities. Vendors, sponsors and volunteers are
needed. To participate or for more information contact Donna Matzek at donnamatzek@
yahoo.com, 440-227-1168 or visit www.TroyHomecoming.org. Presale raffle tickets are
available. First prize is a side of beef, second prize is a Weber gas grill, third prize is “Best of
Geauga County Basket” that includes donations from various establishments.
Garrettsville SummerFest
Garrettsville SummerFest is June 28
to 30 at the intersection of State Routes 88
and 82 in Garrettsville. This year the theme is
“We are Family” and it will be celebrated with
a photo scavenger hunt, canoe races, corn
hole, ice cream eating contests, hamburger
eating contest, pie baking contest, a
scavenger hunt, live entertainment, a grand
and tractor parade, rides, food, a live animal
show and more. Opening ceremonies begin
6 p.m. Friday.
Saturday is the Silver Creek Steeplechase
Canoe Race, amateur and professional
cornhole contests and Lion’s Club pass punt
and kick contest. See Jungle Terry’s Live
Animal Show, Aaron Bonk juggling knives
and swords, and ride the train. St. Ambrose
Church will host a chicken dinner. Check out
the classic cars cruise, and see “Disco Inferno”
on the main stage. Fireworks begin at 10 p.m.
Sunday is the 5K /1 mile cancer run/
walk, the grand parade, family canoe races,
competitions such as Deal or No Deal, So You
Think You Can Dance, and Garrettsville Idol
emceed by Big Chuck and Lil’John. The festival

Anything Can Cause Anything
By Dr. Dave Fakadej
Occasionally a patient will ask me
what I think about vaccinations. Medical
doctors tend to have an opinion about a
chiropractor’s opinion without asking first.
I know what the patient is asking, I know
what the doctor is thinking, and I know
nobody will enjoy my response.
As to my food sensitivity symptoms
compared to several patients’ symptoms,
I conclude: one single food may cause 10
different symptoms in 10 different people,
and one single symptom in 10 different
people may come from 10 different sources.
This applies globally. A broken bone
can result from a baseball bat, car accident,
osteoporosis, cancer, overexertion, slipping
and falling on ice, and more. Does this
mean cancer causes bone fractures? No.
Cancer can cause several types of systemic
or organ problems that may or may not
involve bone fractures. Indeed, anything
can cause anything.
For every bit of research ‘proving’
something, other research will show the
opposite. The confounding nature of what
causes what and the difficulty interpreting
research results from the fact that the
human body is the most complicated
chemical processing system in the universe.
The expression of DNA evades research
and prophecy. There is a debate on a
link between vaccination and autism. My
experience brings me to ponder another
cause, or ten.
The British Medical Journal (April
19, 2013) printed a study finding inutero exposure to anti-depressant drugs
associated with an increased risk of autism.
The research does not clearly indicate if the
association is from the drug itself or from
maternal depression itself.
JAMA (April 24, 2013) printed a study
that women taking valproate (used to treat
epilepsy, anorexia, panic attack, anxiety,
PTSD, migraine, bipolar disorder, mania, and
acute stress reactions) during pregnancy
appears to increase the risk of autism.
Another study looked at antibiotic use
during pregnancy (Archives of Pediatrics &
Adolescent Medicine 2009). Conclusion:
“Reassuringly,” penicillins, erythromycins,
and cephalosporins did not associate with
birth defects. However, sulfonamides and
nitrofurantoins associated with several

CASA for KIDS of Geauga County (Court

Interest” of abused and neglected children
involved in the juvenile court. No particular
background is required, but you must be at
least 25 years of age and have no criminal
record. Diversity of age, gender, ethnicity,
etc. is welcomed. Professional CASA staff
provides 32 hours of pre-service training.
Supervision and continuing education is
also provided after appointment by the

be completed prior to training. The next
training sessions will be in August. Call Chris

vascular defects, throat deformity, limb
deficiency, stomach hernias, lack of or maldevelopment of the eyes, and cleft lip or
palate.
It is not uncommon for some infants
to have bad reactions to mother’s breast
milk. Rather than evaluating what mother
is eating and drinking or drugging, which
passes into breast milk, parents use milk
‘substitutes’ to help the infant. I wonder
how the substitutes incorporate mother’s
antibodies. Perhaps that is why the newest
recommendations state mother’s milk is
best and there is no appropriate substitute.
Agent Orange, DDT, pharmaceutical
(known side effects), bromine fire retardant,
asbestos, mercury, lead, and more, how
many chemicals are in the food sold at the
grocer? There is a “formula” for strawberry
flavoring that includes 38 chemicals, none
with the word strawberry.
What is my opinion on vaccinations?
I don’t have kids. I don’t have reason to
care. Perhaps my lack of concern allows an
objectivity others don’t maintain. Perhaps
one can cause autism, perhaps drugs,
perhaps other chemicals, perhaps DNA,
perhaps poor research causes autism. It
is unlikely that only one thing causes any
disease?

who do not experience symptoms. Prostate

Urological Association recommends that
men begin screening at age 40. Most

pathways to
On a Journey with Jesus
By Roger Kruse
I remember well my departure for India
in May of 1980. As a single man of 28, I was
launching into a new chapter of life. My
first 6 months there were very challenging:
extreme heat, spicy food, learning the
Tamil language, along with the in- yourface contrast of Indian life and culture.
But I always sensed that I was where I
was supposed to be. Little did I know that
God’s plan would include a meeting with a
young woman from New Zealand, named
Glenda Keats. It was a lesson I have never
forgotten. Pursue God’s will obediently, and
He will weave His loving plan and purpose
into your life. My desire for a wife came to
fruition when I simply walked down the
path that God was guiding me to take. He
had prepared the way.
Often we are tempted to try to make
things happen according to what we think
we need, just when we want it. The Bible,
however, teaches us that when we “take
delight in the Lord, he will give us the desires
of our heart”. Jesus added, that we should
“seek first the kingdom of God” (his reign
in our hearts) and the everyday concerns
of life will be met. Have you learned that
lesson for yourself? What are you striving to
do or realize in your own journey? Why not
invite God to sovereignly direct your path
as you fully trust in him.
In February/March of this year
Glenda joined me for yet another ministry
adventure to India. Each day was an
opportunity for divine discovery. One day
we visited a couple, Anil & Sunita, who
had taken a bank loan to build a second
story room that would be used by a “house
church” that meets weekly in their home.
They were convinced that any financial
sacrifice was simply a necessary part of
doing God’s will. The joy written across their
faces told me that they really viewed this
construction project as a privilege to invest
in God’s outreach of love. Worship services
will begin in this “upper room” next month.
Another person we met was Ujjwal. His
story left us feeling a sense of wonder at
God’s marvelous ways. He was a poor farmer
tending his field one typical hot afternoon
when he met our co-worker named Patra.
He challenged Ujjwal to trust Jesus to help
meet the needs of his extended family
of eight. The seed of faith was planted
deeply into Ujjwal’s heart. He began a
journey of trusting God by inviting Christ
to demonstrate his Lordship over every
concern. Eventually, Ujjwal found himself
sharing with others the story of his new life.
One day a man, who opposed Ujjwal set fire
to his home. In desperation, Ujjwal’s son
called his father who was away sharing his
faith in another village. Ujjwal immediately
prayed to his heavenly Father. Later his
son told him that a sudden rainstorm had
effectively doused the flames, and saved
the house. Since then, the perpetrator has
acknowledged his guilt, asked forgiveness,
and joined the house church now meeting
in that village!
What steps is the Lord asking you to
take as you journey with Jesus? Why not
dare to obey and discover for yourself the
joy of a life guided by God.
Roger Kruse serves with One Mission Society
as an International Shepherd/Trainer to South
East Asia. He, his wife Glenda and family love
the rural lifestyle of the Middlefield area.
