Decorating Contest Celebrates America 250
Staff RepoRt
The Village of Middlefield is inviting residents, businesses, churches, schools and community organizations to help celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by participating in the Middlefield America 250 Decorating Celebration.
Under the theme, “Middlefield – Where Patriotism Grows Strong,” the community-wide decorating contest encourages participants to showcase their patriotic spirit by decorating homes, businesses, storefronts and public-facing properties in honor of this historic national milestone.
The celebration officially launches June 22, 2026, with decorating encouraged through Veterans Day. Contest judging will take place during
the week of July 4, when America commemorates 250 years of independence, freedom and opportunity.
“Our nation only turns 250 once,” said Mayor Ben Garlich. “This is a chance for our community to come together, celebrate our shared heritage, honor those who came before us, and showcase the pride we have in Middlefield and in America.”
Residential categories include Best Front Porch; Best Lighting Display; Most Creative Americana Theme; Best Historic Theme; and Best Neighborhood Spirit.
Business categories include Best Storefront Display; Best Window Display; Best Restaurant or Hospitality Display; Best Community Spirit; and Best Overall Business Display.
Participants are encouraged to

To encourage community participation, official “Proud Participant – America 250 – Middlefield, Ohio” yard signs will be available through the village along with entry forms. The signs will help identify participating properties throughout the community while promoting friendly competition and neighborhood pride.
In addition to decorating, local
businesses are encouraged to participate by offering America 250-themed promotions during judging week.
Contest entries will be judged using a 100-point scoring system based on overall visual impact, creativity, patriotic theme, effort and detail and community spirit.
Village officials hope the celebration will create a festive atmosphere throughout Middlefield while encouraging community engagement, civic pride and appreciation for America’s 250-year history.

Geauga Power Pulls Return To Burton for 23rd Year
Submitted
The roar of engines and clouds of diesel smoke will once again fill the summer air as the Geauga Power Pulls return to The Great Geauga County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 27.
The annual motorsports event, now in its 23rd year, is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and will feature some of the region’s top tractor, truck and semi-truck pulling competitors. The pull is sanctioned by USA-EAST and will include seven divisions in partnership with the IHRA Pro Pulling League.

Faith Matters The Power of Teamwork
Do you work well with others or do you more often “fly solo?” It can be a challenge for people to learn to work together. After all, it requires some degree of communication, an openness to finding agreement or at least having a willingness to compromise. Our culture here in America has become significantly polarized. People seem less willing to make the necessary effort to get along with each other. Consequently, the benefits of teamwork are not realized.
Many of us have experienced the power of teamwork through participation on an athletic team. A good coach will help develop and protect the team’s identity as a single unit that must work together for the common goal. Talented “su perstar” players can help a team succeed, but a team that respects and utilizes all its players is more likely to realize its greatest potential. There is a synergy that happens as teammates learn to appreciate and empower one another. Of course, that requires some degree of unselfishness.

No wonder we are told in the book of Ecclesiastes that “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work.” Doing a job by yourself may be simpler at times, but it can take much longer and present more limitations.
By Roger Kruse
I love the story of Jesus teaching and healing the people inside of a home in Capernaum. There was a big crowd both inside and outside the house. Four men made the effort to carry a paralytic on a mat but failed to get him to Jesus because of all the people. Finally, they made an opening in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man on the mat down to Jesus.
I am often amazed by the Amish community here in Middlefield. They can build a house or a barn in a short span of time because of their ability to work together. Recently, we had a new bridge constructed connecting our backyard to a small island in our lake. It was remarkable to see how they supported and enabled one another with only minimal instruction or direction given. They had obviously developed a unity and complementary teamwork which maximized what could be accomplished.
Nehemiah was used by God to rally His people to rebuild the broken-down walls of Jerusalem. He organized the people by families and groups, creating “teams.” He assigned them to build a section of the wall, in some cases, near their own homes. Despite threats and opposition by their enemies, Nehemiah and his co-workers completed the rebuilding of a 2-mile-long wall in only 52 days. The wall
The Bible says that “when Jesus saw their faith,” he pronounced the forgiveness of the man’s sins followed by the healing of his body. It took teamwork to get the disabled man to Jesus. It involved both the task of moving him as well as a unified faith to believe that Jesus could heal him. We learn how much we really do need each other.
In the New Testament there are 59 “one another” exhortations for Christian believers to heed. We are told to “love one another,” “forgive one another,” “help one another,” “serve one another,” “be patient with one another,” “be kind to one another,” “to encourage one another,” “live in harmony with one another,” etc.
Learning to work together is not automatic or necessarily easy. Nevertheless, the payoff is big. We discover joy as we work in community with others as well as a productivity that enables us to accomplish much more than on our own. When we do so we will surely discover the power of teamwork.
At times, Roger Kruse prefers to work alone. However, God is teaching him to involve others. That raises the potential for training younger persons to use their skills and gifts for the work or ministry at hand.

Mosquito Control Program Continues
Staff RepoRt

The temporary sign causes traffic problems when drivers going east miss the driveway and those going west slow down or slam on the brakes when they are looking for the driveway, village officials have said at previous meetings.
The larger, relocated sign will relieve that problem, said council President Scott Klein.
“It should prevent rear-end crashes,” he said.
Mayor Ben Garlich noted the property is on the outskirts of the village and other businesses in the surrounding commercial district aren’t busy enough to cause traffic snarls.
The appeal for variances was filed by Sherpa Development Corp., according to the legal ad included in the council packet.
Sherpa proposed a 102-square-foot monument sign including a 59.5-square-foot digital display and a 42.4-square-foot upper identification sign, according to the ad, which notes
only an eight-foot-high, 32-square-foot sign is permitted.
The 81,000-square-foot store was planned and build by HRM Enterprises Inc., parent company of Hartville Hardware of Hartville, Ohio. It opened in 2025 and includes a 36,120 square-foot indoor drive-through lumber yard and four storage structures totaling more than 40,000 square feet.
In other business, council discussed its 12-month moratorium on acceptance of any zoning application of data centers in the village.
River Kale, district outreach representative for the office of Congressman Dave Joyce, attended the meeting and said, unless state or federal legislators decide to ban data centers in Ohio, Joyce’s office can’t control their location or operation.
“Our office doesn’t have any influence regarding local zoning law,” he said, adding it would be a private business in a local municipality. “It’s up to you to have the conversation.”
“I’m not anti-data center, if we can accommodate one that doesn’t affect our residents,” Garlich said.

A major concern is large data centers can use 10 million gallons of water a day, he said.
“We don’t use that much in a month,” Garlich said.
Councilman Sam Morrow said if data centers are permitted in neighboring townships, it could affect Middlefield by using a lot of the area’s water, as well as electricity.
“You can’t protect yourself when it’s an umbrella you can’t control,” Garlich said, add-
ing if a data center could supply its own water and electricity, it might be acceptable.
According to the minutes from May 14, council heard the first reading off the resolution establishing a 12-month moratorium on data center zoning applications was passed unanimously.
Last Thursday the resolution was passed as an emergency legislation.
