My wife and I just returned from our nine-day trip to the Canadian Rockies; a bit wore out but

glad we experienced some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. We flew into Vancouver, British Columbia, a very vibrant and diverse city with Stanley Park, Gastown, an active harbor with sea planes and cruise ships. This was not a vacation, rather a sightseeing tour that at times was exhausting, scampering up rocky hills and trails to view a glacial lake or waterfall but well worth the effort. Topping a hill and seeing Lake Moraine was breathtaking.

We took the VIA rail, a passenger train that runs from coast to coast and got off in Jasper a tourist town where our scenic adventure began. We were picked up daily by shuttle busses and very knowledgeable guides who explained the tectonic formations that created the Canadian Rockies. The American Rockies are volcanic formations and start somewhere in Montana, not on the border of Canada.

We also traveled to Lake Louis and then onto Banff, learning about who and how the Transcontinental railroad was built across Canada with the help of some amazing Americans.

Our last leg of this journey was aboard the Rocky Mountaineer scenic train that ran from Banff to Vancouver. The Rocky Mountaineer Train was nice and scenic, however

Canadian RockieS Adventure

a bit monotonous at times as we sat along a siding waiting for a freight train to pass. Since the RMT rent the tracks from the Canadian National railroad the freight trains have priority and so passengers must wait. The crew members work their tails off serving those of us lucky enough to be on board; after 12 hours they were still joking and smiling; a great bunch they are.

We were only on the train the last two days of our nine-day adventure. Somehow the two Michigan ladies we met earlier were seated behind us and this allowed us to get to know them better. Vivian and Kathy are nurses with great smiles and friendly demeanors; a pleasure to travel with if only for a short time. I have written about the fact that travel for me is about the people I meet, not just the scenery.

We booked this adventure through “Fresh Tracks Canada,” a company that arranged all the tours, pickups and hotels. Their guides and drivers exceeded our expectations; when you are picked up at the Pan-Pacific Hotel by a Mercedes 550 and the driver is holding a sign “NOVAK.” Let me tell you, that’s impressive!

Fresh Tracks booked us into two Fairmount Hotels during our adventure; you don’t get much better than this with the Fairmount Chateau Lake Louis at the top of the list. Pretty Andrea checked us in making sure everything was to our liking and, yes, the coffee and slippers in the room were also complimentary. Does life get any better?

This “frugal” Slovenian is going to check his bank statement to see exactly what I paid for this

adventure. Someone keep the smelling salt handy. I may just faint, but with a smile on my face.

Crystals have an important role in preventing disease and can be used to protect, enhance and control issues before, during and after they occur in your life. We as humans always have something going on that can use some intervention.

Healing can be defined as bringing the body, emotions, mind and spirit back into harmony. Healing is not always the same as a cure, but healing can assist in the pursuit of a healthy life. As you incorporate crystals into your life and environment, you will slowly feel the gentle shift of a lighter and happier energy. Not only will it affect you in your daily tasks, it will also begin to affect others around you.

Crystal healing is a process you can use on the whole family and even your pets can benefit. This provides the balance and support that your body needs for its own internal healing. By giving your body what it needs, it knows just how to heal you. This teaching of healing be it crystal, natural, or holistic has been practiced for thousands of years all over the world.

Crystals respond and interact with the human energy field to heal, calm, stimulate, or adjust to bring the body back into balance. Crystals work on attitudes, emotions, and the mind to heal mental and physical issues. It can be as simple as this: what you are thinking, doing, and believing may be working against your health and well-being. How this all works is a mystery to some, but for others it plays a very big part in their life.

The healing crystals bring your chakras and subtle energy sheath around the physical body into alignment. By using the vibration, color and mineral content, it can gently bring the energy of the cells into balance.

When using your crystals they can be worn over clothing, on the body, held in your hands, or placed in your room. Remember that crystals will hold the

EMF (electro magnetic frequency) waves, are considered to be electromagnetic pollution that can cause illness . A sources of EMF waves include: radios, TVs, mobile

and cordless phones, radar, Wi-Fi, computers and routers. Why take

any chances when you can use crystals to help protect you?

When you start to use the crystal and begin to feel the difference you will want to incorporate them into

your life, home and family. All of the above information can

be found in many different books but this article references information

from a five-book series called “Crystal Prescriptions” by Judy Hall. Volume 1 “A-Z Guide to 1,200 Symptoms and their Healing Crystals. Volume 2 “A-Z Guide to Over 1250 Conditions and their New Generation Healing Crystals.” Volume 3 “A-Z Guide to Crystal Solutions to Electromagnetic Pollution and Geopathic Stress.” Volume 4 “ A-Z guide to Chakra Balancing, Crystals and Kundalini Activation Stones.” Volume 5 “A-Z Guide to Space Clearing, Feng Shui and Psychic Protection.”

These books and crystals along with many more health and healing products can be helpful and guide you to be a part of watching over your body’s well-being and balance in life.

Telemarketers Be GoneBy Ellie Behman

I can’t speak for the masses but t h o s e c o n s i s t e n t

telemarketing calls are becoming a nuisance to me. Of course they c h o o s e t h e m o s t inoppor tune t imes : bedtime, dinnertime

or during our favorite television programs. I find that I can’t hear them and rarely understand them. We have also been warned never to answer with a “yes” when they ask if they have the right name. They can then record your voice saying yes regarding a product they are selling, making it sound like you agreed to make the purchase. Night after night the calls come in. Adding them to the “Do not call” list has not corrected the problem.

One evening my husband decided to have a little fun with one of them rather than get angry. The caller indicated that he was aware that we needed some computer repair. Really? He must have had a crystal ball at his disposal because I never made a request for repair. Anyway, Ron listened to him for a while and then simply said “I don’t compute, my wife does.” He then hung up.

It wasn’t two minutes later that the phone rang again and showed the same number. Ron said, “Go ahead and answer it but talk to them in Slovak.” I do know a little Slovak so that sounded like a good idea to me. As I answered, the voice on the other end of the phone began to speak. I quickly started talking in my limited Slovak accent and, within minutes, clearly frustrated the

caller. Wow, that was a turnaround. As I repeated the one sentence I could come up with in Slovak (translated, it meant “I don’t know what you are saying”) he began to get louder and louder. As if that would help me speak in English.

It was only a short conversation but more fun than a senior citizen should have. Finally the caller shouted, “Let me speak to your husband” and I answered, in the deepest accent I could muster, “Husband not home,” and then I hung up. I don’t think we have heard from that telemarketer since.

On another occasion Ron was privileged to answer and someone was selling back braces, leg braces and other health related products. He listened politely and when he was asked if anything was hurting him he answered quietly, “Only my ear.” I think the caller got the message.

Now I ordinarily do not advocate being rude to callers or hanging up on them, but if I want to be honest these calls are irritating, unacceptable and I do not appreciate them. Lately, I realize they don’t always use live callers. The recordings sound amazingly real until you try to butt in and they continue going on. As my hubby says, “Just like my wife.” Okay Ron, you get the next hundred calls.

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

On Oct. 4, Lynda Nemeth and Pegi Dickson, owners of Discover My Cleveland hosted the Regional Tourism Alliance Adventures in Northeast Ohio at Patterson’s Fruit Farm. Speaking on the topic of Agritourism were Brenda Hastings, of Hastings Dairy; Craig Bednarek of Warren’s Spirited Kitchen, and Bill Patterson of Patterson’s. The guest list totaled 43 people representing 11 different counties. (MP Photo/Lynda Nemeth)

Shoe Box MinistryEach year, Samaritan Purse organizes

the shoe box ministry. Every year shoeboxes are filled with items that are given to children in remote areas as Christmas gifts. Every box has a WOW toy that a child will love. The ages of recipients are 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years old. Boxes are filled with either a boy or girl in mind.

Jenny Manley and Janice Shipman have teamed up with a wonderful group of ladies and are making homemade gifts to go into each box along with school supplies, dental floss, band aids, socks, toys, flip flops, u n d e r g a r m e n t s and anything else useful or fun to fill these boxes to the brim.

The group meets at Beth and Dawn’s Garage Sale Store on Nauvoo Road, Middlefield usually on a Thursday afternoon to crochet hats, scarves and headbands. The goal this year is 50 boxes to a drop off around the second week in November. To donate, contact Janice Shipman at [email protected].

Each box has a $9 shipping fee and it also allows the box to be tracked and you can see where it goes to. Once the boxes reach the processing centers, box contents will be reviewed to make sure there are

no toothpaste, l i q u i d s , o r d a n g e r o u s i t e m s . T h e n t h e j o u r n e y begins so that the boxes reach their destination in time for Christmas.

Drop off cash or items d o n a t i o n a t Beth and Dawn’s Garag Sale Store or contact Janice mail to have donations picked up.

Suggestions f o r n e e d e d items are small games, watches, flashlights with batteries, fishing items,(line, lures, etc.) small tools l i k e h a m m e r s , s c r e w d r i v e r s , sewing kits, first aid kits, draw

string bags. All you sewers out there with scrap material could whip up a 12x14 approximate sized bag for the children to put their treasures in.

Local volunteers create gifts for less fortunate. (l-r) Jennifer Manley, Janice Shipman, Dawn Farmwald and (front, sitting) Beth Johnson holding Ally and Andrew Johnson, and Gabby Johnson is sitting on floor.

Second-Grade Growers Busy at Burton Elementary

Sign up for Eighth-Grade D.C. Trip

The fourth-and-fifth-grade students in Mrs. Burnett’s Language Arts groups just completed #thekindnessrocksproject. They researched ways to make a positive impact on others and decided that painting rocks with upbeat messages was how we wanted to accomplish this.

Students chose simple messages that are meant to bring a smile to the face of anyone who finds their rock. Many of the rocks contain our Badger pride messages of Be kind ... Be wise ... Be a friend. If you find one, take a picture of it and upload to the Facebook page #thekindnessrocksproject. It’s a worldwide group! Feel to take and re-hide a rock, or just leave them in the flower beds at the entrances to the Burton Elementary buildings. And smile, be happy, and pass on the positive messages.

When Middlefield’s Cardinal Schools requested a donation to help get free books in the hands of every fifth through eighth grader in the district, the Geauga County Library F o u n d a t i o n joined United Way Services o f G e a u g a Count y, the W o m e n ’ s L e a d e r s h i p C o u n c i l o f United Way, and Cardinal M i d d l e School’s PTO t o p r o m o t e reading.

T h e GCLF helped p u r c h a s e 350 copies of “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio as part of the school’s “One School, One Book” reading initiative. “Wonder” is the story of 10-year-old Auggie Pullman, born with extreme facial abnormalities and not expected to live through early childhood. Defying expectations, he went from being home schooled to entering a private Manhattan school as a fifth grader. He endured taunting while struggling to be

seen as just another student, according to NoveList. The book is being released as a movie in November, 2017.

The book was chosen in conjunction w i t h t h e P o s i t i v e B e h a v i o r Instructional S u p p o r t i n i t i a t i v e at Cardinal Schools, said Principal Andy Cardinal. “Kids need to see a p e r s p e c t i v e o t h e r t h a n what they’re u s e d t o . “Wonder” is a vehicle to help people look

at others for who they are and not what they look like. We’re teaching the same message to kids in the different grades, but with different approaches for the various ages. The message is to treat everyone with respect.” The books are being delivered to Cardinal Schools in Middlefield in late September and will be used as part of the school-wide curriculum.

AutumnBy Mary Kangas

The leaves turn colorsAnd fall to the ground

When autumn season arrives.The air gets crisp

All over town,

And there is beauty before our eyes.So take it all in,

Each and every scene,With the changing of the season

So peaceful and serene.

Practice What You PostBy Christina Grand Porter

Social media is wonderful as a place where

we can keep in touch with friends and family we don’t often see. It’s miraculous how we can connect with friends from as

far back as childhood and reconnect with distant relatives with the simple click of a button. I have noticed that a lot of people throw around the word blessed and share inspirational posts that are beautifully written on these sites. But those shares don’t mean anything if you don’t practice what you post. If you say, “I’m so blessed to have my partner,” and then treat him or her horribly or complain about them constantly, then it’s pretty obvious you aren’t feeling very blessed.

It’s easy to press a button to show you agree with something, but supporting the thought of being kind and gracious to everyone and then turning around and being negative and rude is absurd. A friend I have had for over 30 years has become so oppressive that I’m not sure I still want her as a friend. She has changed into a bully who will not compromise on anything. It’s her way or nothing and she will whine, criticize and push as much as she must to be the one in control. Often it’s about something that doesn’t even matter. So why does she keep posting and sharing all these positive messages about putting others first when she, herself, is so selfish and harsh?

When I run into people I used to work with, I’m amazed at how little time it takes them to get back to gossiping about old

coworkers. Does it really matter that a certain person used to do this or that crazy or annoying thing? It didn’t matter back then and it certainly doesn’t matter now. But they still carry around resentment and when a name comes to mind, they first think negatively. An old coworker was in town a couple of months ago and I met her for lunch. She quickly started in criticizing a colleague we had worked with and I changed the subject to the times we had worked together beautifully as a team. We went on to address the successes we earned and what a big difference it made for our clients. Even though we agreed we had a lot to be proud of, in a matter of a few more sentences, she was back on the criticism track. There were plenty more good times we could have discussed, but the moment was gone because she was stuck in the negative. On social media she posts angels and Bible passages. I went home sad.

I have decided to be inspired by positive posts and try to inspire others, but now, every time I decide to post or share something, I will ask myself what I’m going to do about it. If it’s about being benevolent, I won’t be a jerk. If it’s about helping someone else, I guess I better get off that chair and help someone. I will push that button to share a post, but not automatically. I should live by the words I’m putting out there for all the world to see. We all must be an example for everyone, but more importantly, we must be an example to ourselves. Practice what you post.

Demo of Red Tulip house on Sept. 30 in Claridon. (MP/Photo/Lockhart)

By Colleen Lockhart

The Friends of the Red Tulip Project held a pasta dinner fundraiser and auction on Friday, Sept. 29. More than 400 dinners were served and approximately $14,000 was raised. Thanks to all who attended and participated in the auctions to build a sober house in Geauga County, it is very much appreciated.

On the morning of Sept. 30, a volunteer crew started early to begin pre-demolition of the former Kellogg residence in Claridon, now known as the Red Tulip House. Prior to this, rain caused the collapse of part of the old basement wall and the house was determined to be unsafe. Under the leadership of Ken Mantey from Habitat for Humanity and Jim Dvorak, president of the Burton-Middlefield Rotary, pre-demolition work involved taking out windows and other scrap items in the old building. Work went quickly and demolition started on Saturday and was completed on Monday. Ninety percent of the house was torn down and will be rebuilt at the same location in the near future.

Red Tulip House to be Rebuilt

The Friends of the Red Tulip Project want to thank Bill and Bonnie Clemson for the loan of the backhoe for the demolition and to Ted Winters of WLE for the donation of the dumpsters. Denny Kellogg is an amazing operator and skillfully tore down the house he one lived in with the assistance of Aaron Kellogg. The generosity of the community and the determination to make a difference has been outstanding. Photos of the demolition can be viewed on Red TulipFacebook.

Longer Lasting Carved Pumpkins

How do you make your carved pumpkin last longer? To protect against dryness and mold, cover your carved pumpkin with plastic wrap and put the pumpkin in the refrigerator when it is not on display. To reduce shriveling, coat the cut edges of your carving with petroleum jelly. You can revive a shriveled pumpkin by soaking it in water for one to eight hours in a bucket or the bathtub. After removing it from the water, let it drain for half an hour, then dry it carefully.

Trick or Treat Halloween is rooted in our agricultural past, marking the end of harvest time and the

beginning of the new year. All residents wishing to pass out treats should leave their porch or exterior lights on. Children should ONLY visit homes with exterior lights on.

In the following communities, Halloween will be held on Halloween, Tuesday, Oct. 31. Auburn Township 6 to 8 p.m. Burton Village 6 to 7:30 p.m. Huntsburg Township 5 to 7 p.m. Middlefield Village 5 to 7 p.m. Parkman Township 5 to 6 p.m. They ask that caution be used, as there will be no traffic

cross guards this year. In the following communities, Halloween parties are planned. Montville Fire Department will hold a Halloween party for pre-school and elementary

school kids at the Montville Community Center on Oct. 31 from 7 to 8 p.m.
