Farmland Forum Draws Questions About Data Centers Staff Report The potential construction of data centers in Geauga County prompted discussion during the Geauga County Planning Commission's Farmland Forum on July 15. More than 80 residents attended the event, where organizers gathered information and public input to help update the county's Farmland Preservation Plan, which is scheduled for completion in 2027, Planning Commission Chairman Nick Gorris said in a July 21 phone interview. During the forum's questionand-answer session, Gorris said attendees raised concerns about how data centers could affect agricultural land and whether they are an appropriate fit for Geauga County. “How do you incorporate them? Can we sway people not to use their land for (data centers)? Are they a good fit for Geauga County?” he said. “There are so many other factors.” Some questions revolved around concerns about the amount of water and electricity large data centers require to cool and power the computer systems used to gather information for artificial intelligence applications, Gorris said. Because many data centers require large, undeveloped sites, farmland could be ideal for future development, he said. According to the 2022 Census of Agriculture, Geauga County has more than 66,000 acres of farmland, with the average farm consisting of 59 acres. “Lots of good questions came in,” Gorris said. “No decisions were made. It will all be addressed in the updated farmland preservation plan.” The forum, held at the Geauga County Fairgrounds Youth and Livestock Building, was organized similarly to the county's township landuse planning forums, Gorris said. Nine stations allowed participants to review topics including See Farmland • Page 2
A Lifetime of Service
After 39 Years, Middlefield Fire Chief Ready to Retire

By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com When Bill Reed joined the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department in 1986, he never expected the decision would become a 39-year career that included more than two decades as chief. Now, Bill is preparing to retire in September after helping guide the department through decades of change while building a family legacy of public service. “I applied to the fire department in December of 1986,” he recalled in a recent phone interview. “Russ (Coyle) was a lieutenant on the fire department and urged me to give it a try.” A lifelong Middlefield resident, Bill said his parents, Jerry and Beverly Reed, had no history in the fire service, although his grandfather, Robert Reed, served on the department. Born in Chardon in 1955, Bill graduated from Cardinal High

Amish Safety Day Draws Hundreds By Rose Nemunaitis editor@karlovecmedia.com For more than two decades, the Middlefield Fire Department and the Amish community have worked together to create a safe environment where a growing manufacturing town can coexist with the rural, simple lifestyle that is the Amish way of living. That partnership was on display July 24 as about 700 people attended Amish Safety Day at Heritage Market Place, 15864 Nauvoo Road in Middlefield. The annual event grew out of tragedy. In January 2002, three people died in a house fire caused by the explosion of a white gas lantern used to illuminate a family's living room. Following the fire, the Middlefield Fire Department and Amish community leaders formed the Amish Safety Committee to focus on education and prevention.

The committee later established Amish Safety Day to bring together the Amish community, first responders and other Geauga County agencies with a shared goal of helping families stay safe.
For Amish resident Nora Kurtz, of West Farmington, the event represents the type of community connection organizers hoped to create. See Safety • Page 3

Amish Safety Day organizers welcome members of the Amish community to the annual event focused on fire prevention, traffic safety and community education.

from page 1 “I love seeing this (Amish Safety Day) because it’s part of that cultural bridge we want to strengthen,” said Kurtz, who also works for the Amish Historical Society in Middlefield. “I love the Amish and non-Amish working together for the greater good of the community.” This year’s event featured presentations by the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office, Middlefield Fire Department, Geauga County Farm Bureau and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, along with informational handouts that included statistics from the Ohio Department of Transportation. “The overall goal of the Amish Safety Committee in this area is to minimize preventable accidents, bring awareness and education to fire safety, while at the same time, respecting and understanding the practices of the Amish culture,” said Middlefield Fire Department Assistant Chief Ben Reed, who began planning this year's event in June with Amish Safety Committee President Willis Miller and the sheriff's office. Activities included a UH AirMed helicopter landing and display, opportunities for attendees to speak with public safety officials, health screenings, safety-related giveaways and family activities. The day concluded with a school benefit that supports a different local Amish school each year. Amish resident Marty Detweiler, also of West Farmington, attended the event with his wife and four children and said the family-friendly activities were a highlight. “It was very family-oriented,” Detweiler said. “They (kids) liked seeing the life flight helicopter and seeing the police officers up close and getting to talk to them. It was a very attractive event.” The Amish Safety Day event continues to grow every year, said GCSO Lt. James Jonovich. “Various groups offered literature, presentations and information on topics ranging from traffic safety, agricultural safety, fire prevention and crime prevention,” he said. “Through education, we can reduce risks, making our communities safer for the Amish
and all the citizens of Geauga County.” Division of Wildlife Officer Matthew Madgar discussed safe and ethical hunting practices, tree stand safety and Ohio laws regarding hunting on private property and retrieving game. “I know everybody is getting ready for deer season if they hunt,” Madgar said. He also shared information on boating safety, the importance of wearing life jackets and on the ODNR’s bear program, including efforts this summer to trap bears and fit them with GPS collars to track their movements. This marked the Geauga County Farm Bureau's fifth year participating in the event. “Every year that we have been attending, we have teamed up with Geauga County Soil and Water Conservation District to put on a large display promoting safety in our rural communities,” said GCFB President Bob Rogish. “We have the opportunity to interact with younger Amish children and their families by asking them safety questions, then giving the children a reflective neon vest and other goodies to take home. We have a properly illuminated display buggy that we take to different events including this one.” The farm bureau both advocates for rural communities while also promoting awareness of slow-moving vehicles on Geauga County roads, Rogish said. “This event gets us out in front of the Amish community so they are aware of what a farm bureau membership can do for them,” he said. GSWCD Director Carmella Shale said the annual event brings together organizations that provide valuable safety information to Amish families. This year, the district focused on tick safety. Each family received a tick removal key, while children could participate in a Plinkostyle game that demonstrated how wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent and performing tick checks after spending time outdoors can help prevent tick bites. “We hope all who attended and we spoke to learned about the various ticks we are seeing in our area and what to do to prevent and what to do if they find a tick on themselves,” Shale said. “The attendance continues to be phenomenal every year.”

Chief
from page 1 ranks, becoming lieutenant in 1989, captain in 1991, assistant chief in 1997 and chief in 2005. “I’m the second-longest serving chief since Chief Earl Warren. He was my real mentor,” Bill said. “He was a good boss — fair and dedicated. He was a great example.”
Changing Times
Much has changed since Bill first donned his firefighter’s helmet. “The department was all volunteer when I started,” he recalled. “We had a pretty good sized crowd — got a lot of people for fires. When we had volunteers, lots of times, we didn’t have to call in mutual aid as often as we do now.” Over the years, state training requirements and continuing education have made it more difficult for volunteers to remain active while balancing full-time careers, Bill said. “A volunteer doesn’t have time to do that,” Bill said, adding most firefighters have fulltime jobs. Usually, those jobs don’t allow time off to fight fires or answer emergency calls. Today, many of Middlefield’s part-time firefighters work full time for other fire departments and pick up shifts during their days off. “Some of our people are on multiple departments. They can be full time (there) and work 24 hours on and 48 off,” Bill said. “That gives them a lot of time to work for us, too. We don’t have a single person without a fulltime job elsewhere.” One of them is Bill’s son, Ben, who works as a fire inspector for Beachwood Fire Department. Many of those firefighters also serve as paramedics at their full-time departments, bringing additional medical expertise to fire emergencies, he said. “I’ve got several paramedics on the department — usually we have one on every shift,” Bill said. MVFD does not operate its own ambulance service. Instead, it contracts with Community Care Ambulance, so having a paramedic at the scene of a fire before CCA arrives is a definite benefit, Bill added. The department responds to more than 1,000 calls annually across the 72-square-mile East Geauga Fire District, which includes Middlefield Village, Township and mutual aid coverage for Huntsburg Township. “If we were running EMS, we would be pushing 2,000 (calls),” Bill said. “We’d have a call volume like Chester (Township) and Bainbridge (Township) departments.” Despite staffing shortages affecting many fire departments, Bill said Middlefield has remained relatively stable because many fire-
Middlefield Post
fighters live nearby. “We don’t have staffing problems. (Between) 70% and 80% of the time we have four people on shift,” Bill said. “We don’t have a lot of turnover.”
Investigating Fires
Rather than follow the paramedic route, Bill instead turned his attention toward figuring out what causes each fire. “I was a fire investigator and director of Geauga County’s Fire Investigation Unit for quite a few years,” he said, noting the cause of a fire is not a matter of public record. When pressed for a cause, there is only so much a department fire investigator can say, Bill added. “The actual cause of a fire is usually given by the department (investigator) as accidental or suspicious,” he explained. “Unless you are positively sure of what caused it, you put yourself in (a position of) liability.” Determining what caused a fire often depended on information from property owners, which can be difficult, Bill said. “My easiest fire investigations were with the Amish community. They come right out and tell you, point blank, what happened,” he said. Some investigations, however, were especially challenging. Bill recalled one of the last cases he worked on involving a devastating house fire on Peters Road in Middlefield Township caused by a white gas lantern that tipped over. Ten family members were burned and a 2-year-old child died. He also remembers the fire that destroyed the former White Grocery Store. “That was a pretty hot day. It was a tough fire,” he recalled. However, not every call was tragic. Some have even brought smiles, Bill said. “In Middlefield Village, we have a lot of duck rescues. Ducks are always getting in the sewer drains,” he said, noting MFD has been dubbed the Middlefield Duck Rescue Team because of the number of ducks they have to pluck out of drains.
Camaraderie
Former Chief Stu Anderson said friendships and family ties have always been at the heart of the department. He and Bill weathered all of the changes together as MFD transformed from “a rinkydink department like everyone else” to a fully-equipped station with well-trained and dedicated firefighters, Anderson said. “Everyone hung out together. It was the camaraderie that made it stick,” he recalled during a recent phone interview. “The Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department has had generations of families on the fire department over the years.” In the early years, both men had jobs that
allowed them to leave work to answer fire calls, and they became like brothers, watching out for each other on the job and socially, he said. “We were in town all the time,” Anderson said, recalling that Bill and his wife, Lynn, helped paint the Anderson home and their children were close in age. His son, Aric Anderson, is a firefighter, as well. “My wife, Denise, and Lynn did a lot of things together,” he added. As his business demanded more of his time, Anderson stepped away from the chief’s position, but, at 69, he is happy to keep his foot in the door as a fire district trustee. Anderson also noted how often firefighters rely on one another after difficult calls. He recalled the fatal fire involving the Amish family and other emotionally taxing emergencies throughout the years. The camaraderie helped them remain balanced mentally and provided an informal type of group therapy when needed, Anderson said. “After a call we’d just sit around and talk,” he said. “People could vent, (discuss) what we could have done differently. We did it in our own way. We had to find a way to release that or go crazy.”
Carrying on the Tradition
The Reed family’s commitment to public service extends well beyond Bill’s career. Lynn served 15 years with the department as an emergency medical technician while also working for an ambulance company, she said. Families pulled together to support the MVFD, holding essential fundraising events before levies began to yield money for salaries and equipment. “We all worked the fish fries, bingo games
Page 7
and chicken dinners at the Swiss Cheese Festival,” Lynn recalled. Even after retiring in 2010, she continued helping with department events. “Last year was my last Halloween party,” she said, adding she will still lend a hand if asked. The couple instilled in their sons – Erik, Brandon, Ben and Cory – the culture of helping people in need, Lynn said. Erik works for the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office and Brandon works for the Geauga County Emergency Management Agency, she said. Ben, 40, now assistant chief, is expected to succeed his father when Bill retires in September. He credits his father with introducing him to the culture from an early age. “He started with the fire service about when I was born. I spent most of my childhood at the fire house,” Ben recalled. “I used to go on some fires when I was a kid in the chief’s car. Him and I have been doing this together for a long time.” Ben said his father has always put the department and the community first. “He takes a lot of pride in the town and the guys and he wants to make sure everybody’s in good hands and the town he grew up in is taken care of,” he said. Ben also remembers another role his father cherished. When Ben attended Lake Erie College, he played first base and catcher on the Division 2 baseball team. “Dad didn’t miss any games,” he said, remembering when Bill coached Ben’s T-ball team. “He was one of my biggest fans.” After stepping down, Bill will hold the honorary title of chief emeritus. “He’s a good dude — he deserves to retire,” he said.
