Annual Memorial American Cantata
By Colleen Lockhart
T
he United Voices Community Choir
from the First Congregational Church
of Claridon, directed by Aubrey
Woods, presented a patriotic program on
May 29 in the Jr. Fair Stage at the Geauga
County Fairgrounds. This was the 11th
annual Memorial Week-End American
Cantata.
The program titled America: A Pilgrim’s
Prayer, A Patriot’s Dream, began with
an invocation by Pastor Mary Ellen Hoffman,
followed by everyone joining in singing
the National Anthem. The Color Guard was
represented by Ohio Chapter 12, Sons of
the American Revolution, led by Compatriot
Troy Bailey from Jefferson, Ohio.
Highlights of the evening selections
included solos by Aubrey Woods, Rory
QuALity, Amish
Craftsmanship
Swift and Laura Christian and performances
by the choir. This was a well-planned and
enjoyable event, with more than 100
people in the audience.
During the program, our patriots in the
audience were “saluted” when they were
asked to stand and be recognized when
the song for the branch of their service was
sung.
On the front of the printed program
were the words “In honor of all the veterans
as well as the active service members.
Thank you for all you do. Wishing you a
beautiful Memorial Day weekend.”

Geauga Growth 2016 Interns
GP is pleased to announce the 2016
high school interns who have been
placed in summer positions with
Geauga County sponsoring employers.
This spring, 26 Geauga County businesses
offered summer internship opportunities to
High School students for the summer. Forty
one (41) students applied and interviewed,
and 24 positions were filled with 19
companies.
All students who were placed in
internships earned their summer positions
after completing resumes and interviewing
with at least four companies each. Each
sponsoring employer has set up a training
plan for their interns, designed to give
students an overview of the business while
they complete work assignments.
To amplify their learning, students
attended an orientation on May 24, where
they were introduced to the program and
learned workplace etiquette from guest
speakers Steve Peter and Lori Gorrell.
Students will also complete two career
readiness workshops that focus on teaching
life skills that will carry them long into their
careers. Interns will be employed through
the summer, and gain valuable work
experience. The purpose of Geauga Growth
Partnership’s Internship program is to “Build
Tomorrow’s Workforce Today,” by providing
this real-world experience to learn not only
skills required in varying trades, but more
importantly the “soft skills” so critical to
success in work and life.
2016 students are Michelle Sohm,
Olivia Tiber and Kody West from Berkshire
HS; Aidan White and Cole Zemelka from
Cardinal; Maggie Bartolovich, Brice Karl,
Charles Skerbec and Allison Whitney from
Chardon HS; Annalise Hoover of Gilmour
Academy, Home-schooled students Abigail
Brandewiede (also attending Auburn
Career Center) and Anna Montazzoli (also
attending Kenston HS); also from Kenston,
Carlton Allen, Luke Ballard, Tyler Cooper,
Kathleen Grendell, Travis Krebs and Hunter
Neal; from NDCL John Cermak, Christopher
Jerme and Brendan Leininger; Anne Kinkopf
from Newbury HS; Christine Praprost and
Will Snyder from West Geauga HS.

and shoppers from all over the country. At
the upcoming June 11 show, more than
400 dealers will be present displaying
everything from high end period furniture
to exquisite estate jewelry to collectible
postcards. There promises to be something
for everyone.
The show is held twice a year at the
Geauga County Fairgrounds. Dates for 2016
are Saturday, June 11 and Saturday, Sept.
24. The show is only one day so plan on
spending the entire day to see everything.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress
appropriately for the weather. About 1/4
of the dealers are located inside buildings
and the other 3/4 of the dealers are outside
in tents. There will be lots of great food
vendors offering everything from kettle
korn to steak sandwiches.
The show opens at 8 a.m. to more
than a thousand early buyers wanting to
get first chance at all the great antiques
and old collectibles. Early buyers
admission is $25. General Admission
for $8 starts at 10 a.m. and runs until
the show closes at 4:30 p.m. Don’t miss
one of the greatest Antique Events in
America. Remember… you buy it and we

W
hen was the last time you were
at an antiques show where the
show employees picked up your
purchases from the dealers and took them
to a loading area where they loaded all
your purchases for you for free? Probably
never - unless you have been to the Burton
Antiques Market. This is the only antiques
event in the United States that offers this
option to all buyers. Whether it is a large
country store counter or a painting or a
vase, all your worries are over about how
to get the merchandise to your vehicle. At
each of last years’ shows, more than 1,000
items were sold by the dealers and moved
to the loading area. Most of the items were
pieces of furniture.
Here is how it works. When a customer
buys an item from a dealer, the dealer will
put a two part tag on the piece. One part
of the tag stays with the piece and one part
is given to the customer – kind of like a coat
check ticket or a valet parking stub. The
item is then picked up and put on one of the
six wagons working the show and taken to
a building where it will be unloaded. When
the buyers are ready to leave, they can drive
to the merchandise pickup building where
a team of Amish men will match up the
tags. They will do all of the loading for you
at no charge. The entire process is very easy.
Now in its 55th year, the Burton
Antiques Market attracts both dealers

D
ads come in
all
shapes,
sizes
and
personalities. There is
no one dad that can be
considered the perfect
stereotype. One thing
is certain, however,
the word “dad” brings
with it a sense of comfort, protection and
love for his family. The outer image doesn’t
matter, its’ what is in the heart.
For instance there is the dad who
works many hours away from home and
it may look like he isn’t spending enough
time with his family. Truth be told, however,
is that underneath it all he is making sure
his family is taken care of, there is plenty of
food on the table and the bills are paid. The
sacrifice of spending long hours away from
home sometimes must be made in order to
properly provide for his loved ones.
Then there is the fun loving playful
type who splits his time between fun and
games as well as filling his obligations at
work. He sets aside time on the weekends to
play catch or go fishing with the kids. These
dads are a lot of fun but not everyone fits
this description.
My own dad worked in a factory and
drove a long distance to and from work. Much of his time at home was filled with
taking care of his beloved cows and other
animals but he always enjoyed his family.
Although he had a full plate during those
years he showed his love in a thousand
ways. Dad shared the fruits of his labor
with anyone who passed through his
door, especially us kids; fresh milk, butter,
vegetables from his garden. There were no
limits to his generosity.
Last but not least is my husband who
has worked tirelessly his entire life to make
sure our family was well taken care of year
after year. A summer never went by without
our taking a vacation, most of which was
camping. The children learned how to build
fires, cook food outdoors and spend quality
time in the great outdoors. Vacation was
a must in Ron’s eyes and something we
all looked forward to each year. Through
the years he taught the children respect,
manners, to remember to say please
and thank you. I’m sure they tired of the
instructions but they have grown up to be
respectful adults in every sense of the word
so I know it was a job well done. Sometimes a dad may seem invisible
or tends to sit in the background but his
underlying strength and commitment
speaks volumes. All one has to see are the
results of his efforts and it is obvious that he
has been the rock that the family home has
been built on.
Yes, there are many faces of dad but the
most important one is the face of a dad that
sets good examples for his children. When I
look at my children and the lives that they
lead I know without a shadow of a doubt
their dad successfully achieved his goals.
Ellie has been a freelance writer for more
than 40 years. She has been married nearly
56 years and is mother of three, grandmother
of seven, great-grandmother of four adorable
little boys. She and her husband spend as
much time as possible at a 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.

hree months
ago my cat
s t o p p e d
eating and it took a
dedicated program
of trying one cat
food after another
to finally get him
eating enough to
sustain life.
Just when I thought we had reached
an agreement on which food he would
eat, tragedy struck! My buddy, Cat, lost
the control of his back legs and staggered
around as if drunk. My vet put him on
steroids and in a few days he was much
better, jumping onto the bed to cuddle with
me. I took him off the steroids since they
have side effects, however his symptoms
returned and so I started him back on the
steroids and he is once again able to get on
the bed where he purrs and snuggles his
cold wet nose inside my elbow
He is more than 16 years old and this
could be caused by arthritis in his hind
joints or possibly a stroke. He shows no
signs of discomfort, eating only enough to
sustain life but still uses the litter box. I am
well aware of the fact that this cannot go
on forever and someday I will need to make
that dreaded call to the vet; I am stocking
up on Kleenex.
Cat has brought an abundance of joy
and laughter into my life and there will be
a large void in my heart when he is gone.
I asked my wife if I can have him freeze
dried and stuffed; apparently that is not
acceptable, noted by her banging her
palm against her forehead and spouting
something in Sicilian that I am glad I did not
understand.
I have no plans on replacing him since
losing a pet is so difficult; however at my
age a new kitten could outlive me. Fact is,
when my wife reads the last article I wrote
about her, Cat just may outlive me.

F
or the past almost eighteen months,
Sarah and I have been spoiled in our
life together here in France. We have
been able to spend these months simply
enjoying life and experiencing God’s French
creation as much as possible. We have
explored almost all of the first ‘county’ we
lived in here, Tarn-et-Garonne, and we can
explore further the ‘county’ that we live in
now, Haute Pyrenees. We have taken the
TGV (train grande vitesse, or high speed
train) to Paris from our home in southern
France and spent a week there seeing
firsthand sights that I had only viewed
in movies or textbooks. We have had
countless less-fancy daytrips, walking
the ancient streets of St. Antonin, Albi,
Toulouse, Penne or Caylus. We have stayed
in many gites (bed and breakfasts), homes
of family and friends, hotel rooms set in
busy and energetic city centers, and even
once an old barn that had been renovated
into overnight rooms for guests. We took
a trip back to America for a few weeks, to
reconnect with my kids and check in on the
old stomping grounds. It’s been a flurry of
experiences and blessings for the last year
and a half, for sure. Southern France has
been more fulfilling than I ever expected it
to be.
The southern France that you are
accustomed to hearing about in the news
or in travel brochures doesn’t include such
names as Septfonds or St. Paul or Cayreich,
though. It includes words like ‘French
Riviera’, or city names such as Cannes or
Antibes. There is where the world envisions
southern France to be, even though these
aren’t the southernmost places in France.
But no matter; we feel that these places
need to be explored, too. And so, on a
warm long weekend in May, Sarah and I
set out for Nice, one of the main cities in
the French Riviera. Nice, which rhymes
with ‘piece’, ‘geese’, or ‘fleece’. You may not
recognize or like the pronunciation, but
saying it other than the correct way would
be like a french person pronouncing Ohio in
the french way; Oh-eee-oh. Doesn’t sound
right at all, does it? So it’s Nice, like ‘grease’
or ‘lease’. Okay?

or the Swiss
Amish of Adams
County, Indiana,
yodeling is a part of
their language. It’s a
completely different
dialect that stands
apart, both from the
non-Amish
world,
and from Amish communities who speak a
more traditional mainstream dialect of high
German. But it is questioned how long this
dialect can and will survive. When the Swiss
Amish get together with Amish from other
areas, they have trouble understanding one
another, so they both revert to English, and,
unfortunately, many of the younger Swiss
Amish aren’t interested in yodeling and
prefer to speak English. Such practices are
serving to erode the Swiss language, little
by little.
Today, Swiss Amish are found in
over ninety church districts in around 20
settlements. They populate over a halfdozen states, though the majority are
Patrick and Sarah Blau at the base of a path leading up to the gate of an old chateau on the way
up the Alps.(MP Photo/Patrick Blau)
Nice is Nice
in drive time and many liters of diesel fuel,
while also keeping us from the possibility
of getting a speeding ticket from one of
the many picture taking automated radar
traps on France’s highways. A couple can fly
roundtrip from Toulouse to Nice for under
€150, or about $165. All in all I think we
came out ahead on the deal, versus making
the drive. Not that it was another chance
for us to fly, no, not that at all. Not that we
love flying and airports and destinations
reached by air, nope. Not that we get a big
thrill from the adventure of appreciating
unexplored territory, certainly not. Not
us. Not a bit. Nuh uh. (wink wink, nudge
nudge).
When we arrived in Nice I was wowed
by all the sights in and around just the
airport grounds. Palm trees, pebble strewn
paths leading to the parking garage, artistic
fountains of water playing in the middle
of roundabouts made it look and feel
like almost a tropical paradise. To Sarah
it reminded her of her trips to southern
California as a teenager and young adult. I
found myself looking into the windows of
every car we passed on the freeway, hoping
to catch a glimpse of some famous actor
or actress. I didn’t see one, but I know they
were somewhere around there. It’s Nice,
after all! Destination of the rich and famous!
The bold and the beautiful! The Pitt’s and
the Jolie’s! And also, of me and Sarah.
Our first full day of touristing was
spent getting familiar with the main streets
of Nice, and of course the beach. The
water of the sea there is really as blue as
the travel brochures show it to be, which
was surprising to me. There are couples
everywhere, speaking to how Nice is a
destination for many a honeymooner.
Fashionable women, clean cut and sharp
dressed men, shiny big cars; we saw these
things everyday while in Nice. Perhaps to
others these sights would have become
commonplace, but for us they never lost
their excitement. Still we never caught
wind of a famous actor or actress. We
saw lots of people trying to act like them
though, striking fashion magazine poses on
the beach, on the sidewalk, in front of a chic
restaurant. The whole world seems to want
to take selfies. Selfies are boring, especially
on vacations. No more asking a stranger to
take your picture in today's environment, I
guess. Where’s the adventure in that?
Just on the other side of Nice, to
the east, is a tiny but extremely wealthy
country named Monaco. It lies between
Nice and Italy, and still has a king, queen,
princes and princesses like any monarchy.
On a vertigo-inducing excursion into the
surrounding mountainous areas we found
ourselves looking directly down on Monaco
from Nice’s easternmost mountaintop.
There were large yachts everywhere near
the beach, a big stadium for rugby or
soccer matches, and we caught a glimpse
of Monaco’s royal palace itself. It made for
a colorful memory, but me and heights do
not get along very well together, so after
taking a cursory glimpse of these things
from what seemed like 20,000 feet up, I sat
down safely and securely on a rock until my
wife had her fill of the sights. Then we left
the rocky mountaintop together, stepping
carefully.
We ventured outside of Nice too, going
above the treeline as we walked recently
defrosted trails in parts of the Alps. We
drove on lots of twisting and winding roads
that would look perfect in some sports
car commercial. No famous people there,
either. But really, who needs to see famous
people to make an excursion memorable
and worthwhile. It doesn’t matter who you
see, how you got there, where you’re going,
or even where you are; it’s who you’re with.
I’ve got all the famous I need to see right
here next to me, everyday, no matter where
I am.
Nice is nice, of course. Home is better.
It’s home that makes the Nice’s of the world
worth going to. There will be many more
Nice’s to journey to, next month or next
week. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows? Not
knowing is nice. Nice, the one that rhymes
with ‘rice’, or ‘mice’. Just in case.
Patrick Blau was born and raised in northeast
Ohio. Until the end of 2014, he lived and
worked in Burton/Middlefield along with
his daughter, McKenzie and his son, Kevin,
when he moved to France and married his
wife, Sarah. Patrick and Sarah currently live
in St. Paul de Neste, a Burton-like village in
southwest France.
The Swiss Amish
found in Indiana, with the most prominent
communities in Adams and Allen Counties. The Adams County community (founded
1850), centered around the towns of
Berne, Geneva, and Monroe, is the largest
with about 47 church districts. The Allen
County settlement, founded in 1852, and
with around 19 church districts, is centered
around the town of Grabill and abuts the
large urban area of Fort Wayne.
Most
of
the
Indiana
Swiss
Amish families have six or more children
and their population is estimated to
double every generation. Currently there
are about 10,000 Amish in Adams County,
an unsustainable size that has sent some
Amish packing to other areas where the
Swiss language isn’t the norm.
Berne, Indiana draws much of its
identity from Bern, Switzerland. The
downtown buildings proudly boast Swiss
imagery, and flags of the neutral nation line
the main street. There’s Swiss City Real Estate,
the Swiss City Medical Center, the Swiss
Hair-itage Salon, and even the Swiss Lock
Box Storage. The main florist shop in town
is named Edelweiss after the elusive white
flower that grows high in the Swiss Alps,
and an imposing 160-foot Muensterberg
Plaza and Clock Tower, completed in 2010,
pays homage to a similar structure in Bern,
Switzerland. Berne, Indiana is comprised
largely of Mennonites and the Amish live
outside of town.
Swiss Amish have unique burial
customs based on Swiss practices, and use
wooden markers or stakes bearing only
the initials of the dead to indicate graves.
Over time these headstones wear away,
reminding survivors of the transience of life
and the insignificance of the individual. The
Swiss Amish do publish a cemetery guide so
the locations of the deceased can be found.
Another unique Swiss Amish custom is
to use only open-top buggies. To fight the
elements, they bundle up in thick horse
blankets for warmth and carry umbrellas
to shade them from roasting heat or shield
them from piercing rain. One Amish church
in the area has recently started allowing
closed buggies, a sign of change in Berne.
The Swiss Amish are distinguished by
other customs not found elsewhere, like
the practice of putting celery in vases on
the table at weddings and serving raisin pie
at weddings rather than at funerals. They
also tend to be more conservative in the
use of technology than Old Order affiliation
Pennsylvania German Amish.
Swiss Amish names are distinct,
and Swiss Amish rarely intermarry with
Pennsylvania German Amish. Their last
names are distinct and many are uncommon
among other Amish, such as Schwartz,
Wittmer, Lengacher (pronounced “Lon-akerr”), and Hilty.
Authors Steven M. Nolt and Thomas
J. Meyers offer more insight into the Swiss
Amish and other Amish communities in
their books, “Plain Diversity: Amish Cultures
and Identities” and “An Amish Patchwork:
Indiana’s Old Orders in the Modern World.”
