uring the late 1800s, researchers at public universities saw that adults in the farming community were not readily accepting new agricultural discoveries being developed on university campuses. However, they found that young people were open to new thinking and would “experiment” with new ideas and share their experiences and successes with adults. In this way, rural youth programs became an innovative way to introduce new agriculture technology to their communities. The seed of the 4-H idea of practical and “hands-on” learning came from the desire to make public school education more connected to country life. Early programs tied both public and private resources together in helping rural youth.

Village Of Middlefield UpdateBy Mayor Ben Garlich

On Monday Feb 19 I was privileged to attend an employee luncheon at Chem Technologies which is located at the northeastern end of Middlefield Village The lunch was a celebration to recognize Chem Tech employees for their efforts which resulted in the best January in the history of the company

CEO Jim Schill spoke and explained why they were so successful His message was simple in content but complicated in execution ldquolisten to your customer exceed their expectationsrdquo Jim knows satisfied customers result when employees take pride in their work and their workplace It was evident that treating his employees fairly is a priority His success as an employer his provision of quality employment and his bullish approach to grow the business made me glad he is part of the Middlefield community

It was the expansion plans of Chem Technologies that prompted Middlefield Village to move forward with the annexation of the property at Routes 528 and 87 as expanding on this land will meet Chem Techrsquos immediate and long term needs On Thursday Feb 22 as a result of the cooperation of Middlefield Township Cardinal Schools Geauga County and elected Village officials this annexation became a reality

We continue to focus on the creation of opportunities that will expand employment options in the Village of Middlefield We know when people live and work in this Village all aspects of our Village become stronger Maintaining open lines of communication and pursuing initiatives to further set this Village apart will make us the location of choice for families to live and do business

I again encourage you to utilize our Web site wwwmiddlefieldohiocom and stay informed The more informed and engaged you become the better our Village will be

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

This is a photo of the Chamber of Commerce annual Sidewalk Sale in Middlefield This picture is of ldquoKiddie Togsrdquo a childrenrsquos clothing store located on the present site of the Cardinal Board of Education building Shown out front is store owner Robert Hills who with his wife Mildred owned and operated Kiddie Togs Later the public library moved from the Cardinal Intermediate School into this building Eventually it was torn down and a new library building was built in its place That building was out grown by the library and was given to the Cardinal BOE when the new library opened at its present site on the east side of town

This photos shows the north side of West High Street in the early 1960s during a sidewalk sale All of the stores shown are gone and have been replaced The Rexall Drug Store was the first store on the block and was located where Roadhouse Music is currently Next door was Zangrsquos Western Auto then the Ez Way Laundromat followed by the Warren Sanitary Dairy restaurant the Kleinfeldrsquos Department Store and lastly Town Tavern During sidewalk sales merchants would offer great bargains on store merchandise and set up tables outside on their sidewalks to sell it Sidewalk sales brought shoppers to Middlefield from all over looking for that special bargain

Village Of Middlefield UpdateBy Mayor Ben Garlich

On Monday Feb 19 I was privileged to attend an employee luncheon at Chem Technologies which is located at the northeastern end of Middlefield Village The lunch was a celebration to recognize Chem Tech employees for their efforts which resulted in the best January in the history of the company

CEO Jim Schill spoke and explained why they were so successful His message was simple in content but complicated in execution ldquolisten to your customer exceed their expectationsrdquo Jim knows satisfied customers result when employees take pride in their work and their workplace It was evident that treating his employees fairly is a priority His success as an employer his provision of quality employment and his bullish approach to grow the business made me glad he is part of the Middlefield community

It was the expansion plans of Chem Technologies that prompted Middlefield Village to move forward with the annexation of the property at Routes 528 and 87 as expanding on this land will meet Chem Techrsquos immediate and long term needs On Thursday Feb 22 as a result of the cooperation of Middlefield Township Cardinal Schools Geauga County and elected Village officials this annexation became a reality

We continue to focus on the creation of opportunities that will expand employment options in the Village of Middlefield We know when people live and work in this Village all aspects of our Village become stronger Maintaining open lines of communication and pursuing initiatives to further set this Village apart will make us the location of choice for families to live and do business

I again encourage you to utilize our Web site wwwmiddlefieldohiocom and stay informed The more informed and engaged you become the better our Village will be

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

This is a photo of the Chamber of Commerce annual Sidewalk Sale in Middlefield This picture is of ldquoKiddie Togsrdquo a childrenrsquos clothing store located on the present site of the Cardinal Board of Education building Shown out front is store owner Robert Hills who with his wife Mildred owned and operated Kiddie Togs Later the public library moved from the Cardinal Intermediate School into this building Eventually it was torn down and a new library building was built in its place That building was out grown by the library and was given to the Cardinal BOE when the new library opened at its present site on the east side of town

This photos shows the north side of West High Street in the early 1960s during a sidewalk sale All of the stores shown are gone and have been replaced The Rexall Drug Store was the first store on the block and was located where Roadhouse Music is currently Next door was Zangrsquos Western Auto then the Ez Way Laundromat followed by the Warren Sanitary Dairy restaurant the Kleinfeldrsquos Department Store and lastly Town Tavern During sidewalk sales merchants would offer great bargains on store merchandise and set up tables outside on their sidewalks to sell it Sidewalk sales brought shoppers to Middlefield from all over looking for that special bargain

Village Of Middlefield UpdateBy Mayor Ben Garlich

On Monday Feb 19 I was privileged to attend an employee luncheon at Chem Technologies which is located at the northeastern end of Middlefield Village The lunch was a celebration to recognize Chem Tech employees for their efforts which resulted in the best January in the history of the company

CEO Jim Schill spoke and explained why they were so successful His message was simple in content but complicated in execution ldquolisten to your customer exceed their expectationsrdquo Jim knows satisfied customers result when employees take pride in their work and their workplace It was evident that treating his employees fairly is a priority His success as an employer his provision of quality employment and his bullish approach to grow the business made me glad he is part of the Middlefield community

It was the expansion plans of Chem Technologies that prompted Middlefield Village to move forward with the annexation of the property at Routes 528 and 87 as expanding on this land will meet Chem Techrsquos immediate and long term needs On Thursday Feb 22 as a result of the cooperation of Middlefield Township Cardinal Schools Geauga County and elected Village officials this annexation became a reality

We continue to focus on the creation of opportunities that will expand employment options in the Village of Middlefield We know when people live and work in this Village all aspects of our Village become stronger Maintaining open lines of communication and pursuing initiatives to further set this Village apart will make us the location of choice for families to live and do business

I again encourage you to utilize our Web site wwwmiddlefieldohiocom and stay informed The more informed and engaged you become the better our Village will be

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Village Of Middlefield UpdateBy Mayor Ben Garlich

On Monday Feb 19 I was privileged to attend an employee luncheon at Chem Technologies which is located at the northeastern end of Middlefield Village The lunch was a celebration to recognize Chem Tech employees for their efforts which resulted in the best January in the history of the company

CEO Jim Schill spoke and explained why they were so successful His message was simple in content but complicated in execution ldquolisten to your customer exceed their expectationsrdquo Jim knows satisfied customers result when employees take pride in their work and their workplace It was evident that treating his employees fairly is a priority His success as an employer his provision of quality employment and his bullish approach to grow the business made me glad he is part of the Middlefield community

It was the expansion plans of Chem Technologies that prompted Middlefield Village to move forward with the annexation of the property at Routes 528 and 87 as expanding on this land will meet Chem Techrsquos immediate and long term needs On Thursday Feb 22 as a result of the cooperation of Middlefield Township Cardinal Schools Geauga County and elected Village officials this annexation became a reality

We continue to focus on the creation of opportunities that will expand employment options in the Village of Middlefield We know when people live and work in this Village all aspects of our Village become stronger Maintaining open lines of communication and pursuing initiatives to further set this Village apart will make us the location of choice for families to live and do business

I again encourage you to utilize our Web site wwwmiddlefieldohiocom and stay informed The more informed and engaged you become the better our Village will be

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Megadose SupplementsDr David Fakadej

Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

Years ago a particular store had a problem a large number of employees developed disc herniations which created a workersrsquo compensation high-risk profile (their work involved a lot of lifting) To reduce workersrsquo compensation claims the store mandated employees wear an abdominal belt Using the belt dramatically reduced disc herniation claims However when the employees retired many had sudden onset disc herniations The belt helped employees by doing the work that the muscles normally perform Since the employees wore the belt all day on the job the muscles didnrsquot perform normally and they weakened The store put suspenders on the abdominal belt instructed employees to use the belt only when lifting and to release the belt immediately after lifting The incidents of disc herniations on the job stayed down and after retirement dramatically reduced Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

People are spending a lot on megadose supplements expecting improved health This is inappropriate and leading to costly unnecessary illness A Nobel Prize winner (James D Watson PhD ndash one of the men that grasped the structure of DNA) stated that antioxidants are an enemy for people receiving cancer treatment

ldquoUnless we can find ways of reducing (not megadosing) antioxidant levels late-stage cancer 10 years from now will be as incurable as it is todayrdquo said Watson in a statement calling this his most important work since the DNA discovery

Supplements are popular among cancer patients despite a notable lack of research to show supplements help Eating antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is fine Watson said we should eat blueberries because they taste good not because they reduce cancer Watson also stated ldquoThe time has come to seriously ask whether supplemental antioxidants may cause rather than prevent cancerrdquo Indeed clinical trials show the antioxidants beta-carotene vitamin A or C or E or selenium do not prevent death or colon cancer

Reactive oxygen species (oxidants) may cause apoptosis (natural programmed cell death) and we definitely want cancer cells to die Taking antioxidants may prevent cancer cell death Indeed preliminary research and reasoning suggests megadose antioxidants appear to promote cancer Whatever you give the body in excess will weaken natural function

The body uses oxidation intentionally to make energy (ATP) If antioxidants neutralize oxidants the body canrsquot make ATP resulting in lethargy apathy weakness and illness When taking megadose antioxidants the body reduces natural antioxidants and the megadose antioxidant impairs natural oxidation ndash the result dependence upon antioxidants Spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-o-n Consider people who are megadosing and then stop taking supplements The body needs time to restart normal function During that time the person may get sick Then they claim ldquoThe megadose helps because whenever I stop them I get sickrdquo Addictive thinking = spending = expensive illness

No person needs vitamin C beyond what oranges supply No person requires calcium beyond what dark leafy green vegetables supply Megadose supplements are contrary to doctorrsquos orders if for no other reason based on good research or as the old adage states ldquoToo much of anything is not goodrdquo

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

The Rolling GreenBy Robert Kacica

The past weeks of winter were cold but by all standards it was a mild winter The days are lengthening The birds can be heard singing during the early morning Spring is sitting on our door steps It is just a matter of when we let it in

Hopefully everyone did stretching exercises during the winter months It will definitely help get the season started with faster results Remember to start the early season by hitting shots with only 70 percent of the potential swing velocity Pick up the velocity when the golf ball is meeting the sweet spot of the club face and moving it down the target line

A fun place to start when getting ready to play is on the putting green Sinking a putt can save the score on a hole that maybe wasnrsquot played to your capability

Here are some putting tips that will help start the season when other parts of the game need a little brushing up Always accelerate through every putt Longer putts need a longer back stroke Keep the back stroke as short as possible in order to stay consistent on the putter face

If there is a line on the top of the putter face remember it is not necessarily where the sweet spot is on the face Hitting the putt on the sweet spot of the putter helps to gauge the distance of each putt It will also help keep the putt on the line intended Make sure the face of the putter is kept perpendicular to the line from the

takeaway to the finish of the stroke Have fun Talk to you soon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon

My Day With Geauga Leadership Youth By Carly Kline junior at NDCL

We first got together at 730 in the leadership office and boarded a yellow school bus in departure to Pleasant Hill Nursing Home There we learned it isnrsquot a nursing home but a home associated with the homeless The neat part of the home is it isnrsquot a homeless shelter but a place for people over age 60 who are retired with little money and assets This Aquilla Road home offers a comfy-cozy warm space for them to live

While at Pleasant Hill we met Kimm Leininger from United Way of Chardon She talked about United Way being an organization that helps people in need and told us about numerous programs that help people looking for day care centers or even summer camps A popular summer camp that United Way set up is Camp Sue Osborne for children with special needs My sister Ashly attended last year Another organization that United Way set up that hits close to home is The Chardon Healing Fund Ms Leininger explained how many people had misconceptions about where the money was going and gave negative feedback about the healing fund She said she was approached the day after that tragic Feb 27 event by Fairmount Mineral the first company to donate money they asked her to set up this fund The total amount donated was $100000 An example of where the money went was for Nick Walzackrsquos car As many people know Nick Walzack was left paralyzed because of that horrid day The car was customized so Nick could drive it The Healing Fund has a total of $950000 in it currently

Another organization that Ms Leininger talked to us about is called 211 Dr Bob split the whole bunch of us into four different groups Each group was given a scenario about a family in need These scenarios ranged from a working mother needing help with her children to an elderly woman dying Your mission was to call 211 and read this scenario to the operator Once you called 211 you shared your scenarios and the tips the 211 operator gave about supplying useful information with the rest of the group

After dealing with the 211 situations we boarded the bus and were each handed $3 The mission was to combine your money to feed your family with the amount of money your group had The goal was to get enough food to feed the family three meals in one day Some groups had to feed a family with only one person and had $18 to spend on this family while others had a family of six people in it and only $15 We all ventured to Aldirsquos in Chardon and the race began to buy food to feed the families The twist to this fun-filled shopping fiesta was that the food we bought was packaged to feed a real family being sponsored through WomenSafe We made a stop at the Department of Aging were served lunch and played chair volleyball The ldquoold folksrdquo were in tip-top shape for the game and kicked our butts Then we headed to the Hamden Congressional Church to package together the food for the families sponsored by Womenrsquos Safe

After a long day of learning and hard work I will say that it was very interesting and eye-opening Every day with Leadership Geauga is a very entertaining day and adds variety and interesting knowledge to your brain Itrsquos so much fun that it beats going to school any day and that it leaves enough of a cliffhanger to keep you wanting some more

Leadership Geauga County youth played volleyball against seniors at the Senior Center in Chardon
