DDC Clinic Works Quiet Miracles in Middlefield
Inside ...
By Dave Ruple
T
he DDC Clinic (Center for Special
Needs Children) in Middlefield,
located right on Madison Road,
houses multinational doctors running a
state-of-the-art genetics lab, developing
research that has been published in
scientific journals more than 30 times and
impacting the global medical community
at large. How did advanced healthcare
research like this come to be in Middlefield?
“”Determination,” said Patti Gallagher,
business manager for the Clinic, proudly.
In the early 1990s, the Amish
community in Middlefield began to seek
the specialized care needed to treat
the kinds of rare disorders prevalent in
European settlement communities, but
much rarer in the population at large.
Genetic disorders are common, ranging
from things as innocuous as lactose
intolerance to life threatening disorders like
Hemophilia and Parkinson’s, and depend
on the unique blend of ancestral genetic
code. Different ethnic populations can
see a higher chance of passing along the
genes for disorders, and nearly every ethnic
background comes with a list of disorders
found more commonly in the population.
For small groups like the Ashkenazim and
Amish, this can be especially problematic;
disorders that are otherwise rare did not
receive the kind of attention dedicated to
other genetic disorders. Specialized testing
can run in the tens of thousands of dollars,
and take the kind of precious time that
many Amish youngsters do not have.

Early-Intervention Program at Metzenbaum

Center, began working with several
Amish families whose children displayed
mysterious symptoms that were not being
satisfactorily
explained.
Convulsions,
seizures, loss of consciousness, and signs
of significant brain injury were seen in
two families in particular. Despite working
closely with doctors, they became
frustrated with a largely fruitless search for
an answer. During a group meeting with
therapists, a mother read from an article in
Reader’s Digest about Dr. Holmes Morton,
a doctor working out of Lancaster who had
become specialized in treating rare genetic
disorders. Because of this specialization,
and bolstered by the freedoms of a lowoverhead clinic, Dr. Morton was able to
spend the time and testing necessary to
root out the causes of mysterious genetic
disorders. When the group traveled to
Lancaster, Dr. Morton closed his clinic for
two days, pulling specialists from John
Hopkins to help develop a plan of action.

contacts – someone you can call for a chat or
perhaps to ask for help. Forty-two years ago
the Parkman Chamber of Commerce held
a luncheon for seniors for the sole purpose
of getting them together to
form a club. The first gathering
was held at the Congregational
Church in Parkman with 33
seniors present. In November
1973 the Parkman 55+ Club was
formed with elected officers
being Frank Handsel, Bernice
Forstall, Ethel Tillinger and Marie
Fuller. The dues for the year
were only $1. Meetings have
continued over the years at the
Parkman Community Center
on Route 422 across from JD’s
Posthouse on the first Thursday
of each month, drawing
seniors
from
Garrettsville,
Burton, Middlefield, Hiram
and Newbury. Everyone looks
forward to the delicious pot
luck dinner starting at noon.
Members bring a variety of

breads and desserts. Dues for 2015 were
only $5.
The Parkman Community Center,
where meetings take place, is a landmark
in its own right. Built in 1863, it celebrated
150 years in 2013. It housed a cheese
factory until around 1900. At the turn of the
century there was a craze for roller skating
and a new floor was put upstairs to support
the new trend. In 1924 it was redesigned
as a Community House with a group called
the Mothers Club donating money to fix it.
It now hosts a 150-seating-capacity hall for
local events, available for rental. In 2006
the kitchen was modernized to current
FDA standards. The second floor is still an
open floor used as a dancing area. In the
1940s when it was a popular dance hall.
Regina Sodo (90) a long-time 55+ member
remembers dancing the nights away. The
basement today hosts the Parkman Trustee
and Zoning business meetings.
Besides the annual Christmas party
and a summer picnic, today’s 55+ Club
officers, Linda Bell, Doris Schwendeman
and Chris Hippely arrange outings and trips

Village of Middlefield Update
By Mayor Ben Garlich
I
attended
many
events this month
that show quality
support for our
c o m m u n i t y. O n e
event was “Friends
of Mike” which is
sponsored by the
Fenselon family. It is
a huge undertaking
which, due to the dedication of this family
and the team they have put together, is an
event that becomes larger every year. The
amount of contributions and attendees
should make all of them proud. They raised
a record amount of money this year and
the Cardinal Schools and students are the
benefactors. I talked with Al Fenselon prior
to this event, and I can assure you from
our conversation, this is a labor of love. We
are fortunate to have them as participants
in our community. I also attended a
recognition ceremony for First Responders
and Safety Services at 6:30 a.m. on 9/11.
This was coordinated with short notice
by Chris Hippely and a few others. It was
heartwarming as prayer was offered for
those impacted during this tragic event 14
years ago and those today who still serve
to protect. We can all remember where
we were when these terrorists negatively
tried to impact the freedom of this great
country. God Bless All of You and God
Bless America.
I attended a Geauga Growth
Partnership (GGP) breakfast where the
guest speaker was Middlefield’s own Jim
Schill. He is CEO of Chem Technologies
and if I were to name an ambassador for
Middlefield it would be Jim. He operates
a manufacturing facility currently in our
village and is expanding; his new building
is almost completed and they are planning
for additional expansion. He gave a history
of his manufacturing career and is a strong
believer in the work ethic of our local work
force. He would not do business anywhere
else. His facilities are aesthetically attractive
and he provides quality employment. I am
proud to say he is a friend and contributor
to the quality of life in Middlefield Village.
I’ve said it before and will say it again we are
so fortunate to have a large portion of the
major employers of Geauga County in our
Village.
I also attended a Community
Improvement Corporation (CIC) Breakfast
where Ken Mayland gave his annual
presentation on current economy and
what we can expect in 2016. All financial
indicators show a mediocre economy at best
and his prediction is: 2016 will mimic the
past few years. This gives me more reason
to look at the generosity of residents and
business expansion with more appreciation.

This photo is of the Printing Plant of The Middlefield Messenger, Middlefield’s first weekly
newspaper, taken probably around 1900. Shown here are editor Lee Murdock, right and Joe
White, left. The Messenger began publishing in the early 1890s and was printed one page at a
time on a hand operated press. The name was changed to The Middlefield Times in 1903. It was
later consolidated with Burton’s newspaper Geauga Leader and the name was changed to the
Geauga Times Leader that continued publishing until 1993.

Here is a photo for our Parkman readers. It is the Johnson Hardware that was located on what
is now Route 528 near the intersection with Route 422. It was owned by Earl L. Johnson, who, in
addition to his business, held the office of township clerk for many years. In talking to some of
Parkman’s current longtime residents, they recall being served by Stubby Johnson. The building
in earlier years served as the switchboard location for the Parkman Telephone Company that was
formed in 1902. In later years it was the location of Star Cycle.

The stands were filled for the Homecoming game at Cardinal High School when Master
Sergeant John Perusek, a Cardinal graduate, along with Sergeant First Class Aaron Figel
and Master Sergeant Jason Watts of the Black Daggers Parachute Demonstration Team
parachuted into the Cardinal Football field. The Team rented a plane and pilot from the
Cleveland Parachute Club in Parkman and flew in from the Geauga County Airport with their
ground team was on site, ready. The band played and the crowd sang the national anthem
as the Daggers sailed through the sky with smoke and fireworks shooting from attachments
on their boots. At halftime Master Sergeant John Perusek called out George Jerina, William
Fisher, Victor Binben and Tom Peters and recognized them for the positive impact they had
on his life. “The significance of my high school is,” said Perusek. “There are three of us that
have done over 25 years in Special Operations.” It was Perusek who said, “I would like to jump
at the Cardinal Homecoming game.” And he made it happen.

Fifth Graders Demonstrate Time
Through Pictures
Did you know that time can be shown as a picture? Students in Mr. Sherman’s fifth grade
Social Studies class at CMS demonstrated this by using timelines - a method for picturing or
seeing time. Students used the lesson to discover how to create and interpret timelines from
one another by taking their own milestone events so far in life, placing them on a timeline
and then sharing them in class with their peers. “By doing this, the relationship between
events can be seen and we can learn a lot about each other,” says teacher Joe Sherman.
“Patterns can emerge that might not be seen without the timeline. The ability to analyze and
draw conclusions from timelines is important to the study of history.”

hat happens when two Geauga
County veterinarians who run
adventure races team up with a
devoted dog owner, triathlete and group
fitness teacher who lives near Huntsburg?
The 12th annual Huntsburg Pumpkin Run
and Fun Walk becomes dog inclusive, of
course. Dr. Megan Hura and Dr. Pamela
Chipps of Silvercreek Veterinary Clinic, Inc.
in South Russell are new co-sponsors of
the race during the Huntsburg Pumpkin
Festival. Run organizer Judy Rogers,
coordinator of group fitness at The Spire
Institute in Geneva, often runs races with
both veterinarians. She recruited Silvercreek
Clinic’s sponsorship this year.
Your favorite pooch may walk with
you at 9:15 a.m. or run with you at 9 a.m.
on Sunday, Oct. 4 in Geauga Park District’s
Headwaters Park. Afterward, you and your
pet may enter the Huntsburg Pumpkin
Festival Parade at 2:15 p.m. near the
intersection of State Routes 322 and 528.
The parade theme is “Costumes” for people
and pets. For information contact Michele
at 440-636-3368. Schneider Saddlery will
provide an award for best-dressed pet in
costume.
All runners and walkers in the race,
both canine and human, must be friendly
and well behaved with others of both
species. Dogs must be licensed, leashed and
fully immunized. Each canine participant is
asked to bring a donation item for a dog
at the Geauga County Dog Shelter as a
doggy entry fee. Each pet participant gets
a bandana, a cookie and items in a goody
bag.

Some common sense safety tips for
people exercising with their dogs include
making sure that pets are physically fit
enough to handle it. If in doubt, ask a
veterinarian before starting a workout
program. Match the dog’s age and
condition appropriately with the length
and type of run. Long distance workouts
are not good for young dogs before their
skeletal systems mature, and dogs that
are too old may need to take it easy, too.
Both people and pets should slowly work
their ways through more intensive levels.
Always warm up and gradually build up
your and your dog’s stamina. Consider your
dog’s breed. Different breeds are more
or less suited for any given intensity and
duration of exercise than others. Whether
you are running, biking, hiking, walking,
or rollerblading with your dog, make sure
that he stays to one side of you the entire
time. Train your dog to stick to one side and
not to cross in front of you. Dogs that pull
on their leashes can cause damage to their
throats and can throw people off balance.
Consider environmental factors like
time of day, temperature, rain, snowfall,
etc. before each workout. Remember
that hot pavement can hurt bare paws.
Watch for and steer clear of terrain that is
uneven or rocky. Make sure all involved
stay hydrated, and don’t tie a leash to your
wrist. This could cause injury to you or your
dog if he makes an unexpected jerk. Keep
your eye on your dog. If either of you show
any signs of exhaustion, pain, soreness,
excessive panting or difficult breathing, it’s
time to stop. After a workout, check your
dog’s feet for cuts, scrapes, or signs of worn
down pads. If you worked out in a grassy
or woodsy area, check a dog’s fur for burrs,
ticks, and other foreign objects. Give your
dog plenty of water to replenish fluids lost
during th e workout.

DDC Clinic Works Quiet Miracles in Middlefield
Although, too geographically removed
to help those in Geauga County, Dr. Morton
inspired the families to form a steering
committee, gain the blessing of the church
bishops, and create the mission statement
for what would become “Das Deutsch
Center for Special Needs Children.” Seed
money came from the Amish Community
and The Cleveland Foundation, and the
group envisioned a world-class medical
center that served to help everyone, not
just the Amish in need. Over the next few
years, they were able to find and recruit
their very own “Sherlock Holmes” in Dr.
Heng Wang, One of his country’s youngest
doctors, Dr. Wang graduated from medical
school in China in the top 3 percent of his
class at the age of 20. He also earned a
PhD in Belgium and had a distinguished
research career at Baylor University in Texas.
“The Center’s first physician matched the
tune of the community, explaining that,
“These children are not just interesting
medical problems, they are children who
need our help and, if we allow them to,
they will teach us love. If we come to know
these children as we should, they will make
us better scientists, better physicians and
thoughtful people.” Despite initial clashing
of language in his interview (Dr. Wang’s first
language is Chinese, and half of the steering
committee spoke Pennsylvania Dutch),
Dr. Wang understandably won them over:
“We want him. His heart is pure. We’ll work
through problems with language.”
“When Dr. Wang began,” recounted
Blake Andres, executive director, “He would
travel to the families, working out of his
vehicle.” Dr. Wang’s sharp mind and mix of
pediatric and research training lent him the
tools he needed to work with very little. A
small residential home was purchased in
2002, giving Dr. Wang a fledgling lab to work
from. In the span of seven years, from 2002
to the erection of the current DDC Clinic,
Dr. Wang went from visiting families to
diagnosing, researching and treating more
than 750 patients from 30 different counties,
many states and several countries. “We see
more than 70 diseases,” Dr. Wang explained.
“With a lot of the diseases, there’s not much
we can find in the medical literature.” With
a clinic now capable of running diagnostic
tests made nigh impossible by prohibitive
expensive, time, and lack of adequate
research, the team at DDS has been
responsible for researching and naming
hitherto undocumented disorders. All
of this specialization does not mean the
same kind of cost, either. A specialized
test at major medical centers might cost
thousands, but the work being done
at DDC is nonprofit, supported by and
tailored to the community, and decidedly
non-standard. The DDC lab conducts
specialized tests that might be incredibly
expensive or totally unavailable
anywhere else in the country, and for a
tiny fraction of the cost.
Doing the tests at less than cost might
not sound like a sound business practice,
but the rationale is that these tests can
save millions of dollars in care (not to
mention lives) later on down the line. An
early screening for something like EarlyOnset Stroke caused by hereditary veinous
malformation in the brain (a disease
identified by the DDC and initially thought
to be rare, but later found in the general
population) or metabolic disorders like
Glucose-galactose malabsorption, in which
intestinal digestion mechanisms can cause
life threatening dehydration, can mean that
patients (from infancy) are able to maintain
a high quality of life by beginning treatment
before any damage has been caused with
treatments as simple as a change in diet
or anti-inflammatory medication. Tests
that were required to be shipped off to
other labs with several months wait for
completions are now done locally in DDC
Clinic’s lab. “Kid’s lives don’t wait,” explained
Andres. DDC has also become the de-facto
expert in several disorders, including Cohen
Syndrome, a disorder so rare that it affects
just several hundred individuals in the
country. DDC has seen more than 80, and
has since hosted the International Cohen
Syndrome Meeting and Family Gathering.
For families like these, the emotional
value in finding DDC Clinics expertise in
these conditions offers additional comfort
and support. “We’ve learned so much.
We learn how to help other children. I get
emails from Europe, from France, Italy,
Spain and Germany. A lot of requests,
asking questions. We help others with the
knowledge we gain.” said Dr. Wang.
DDC’s facility is state-of-the-art, yet
remains ecologically friendly. Certified in
2011, the building is the only building in
Geauga county that is LEED Gold certified.
Certification involves a sustainable build
that utilizes recycled materials (such
as marmoleum flooring, re-purposed
architectural elements like cabinetry and
windows, and a gravel driveway) as well as
operational sustainability in the form of solar
panels, high efficiency lighting, geothermal
heating system and much more. “From
the very beginning, the board decided
that we needed a sustainable building for
sustainable medicine,” recounted Andres.
“Another thing that helped is that the Amish
builders had an opportunity to learn about
LEED certification,” said Gallagher. “Much of
their work was donated. We have a building
valued at a little over 2 million dollars, and
it cost us 1 million to build. Many, many
hands went into building this. A lot of time
and materials were donated.” This illustrates
how integrated and unique the facility is,
as a grassroots answer to our communities’
unique needs. One of the big reasons
that the center is able to provide so much
for so little is an attitude of re-purpose,
efficiency and little waste. For infants in
need of specialized formulas to live with
metabolic disorders, Gallagher showcased
their stockroom. “We are able to get much
Attention
Horse owners
of this at a vastly reduced cost straight
from manufacturer’s community support
programs,” she explained. “And what the
families don’t use, they donate to us, so that
it can be used by someone else.” While the
building is highly efficient, it does not lend
a stark atmosphere. The halls are floored
and furnished with a homey warmth, from
wooden rocking chairs in the waiting rooms
to brightly colored quilts made by a group
that meets in the community meeting
facilities in the lower portion of the building.
“Adults in our community can gather here,
and many special needs individuals can
keep busy here,” explained Gallagher. The
experience of visiting is a far cry from the
typical office visit, with wait times reduced
to little or none at all. “We try to schedule
patients so that they are seen one at a time,
so there is no wait.” Unbelievably, the center
runs on only nine paid staff.
Hidden away from the warm, inviting
patient and community facilities, there is
a state of the art lab, complete with DNA
sequencing machines and more, where the
medical team can conduct research. “We
have capabilities that few other facilities
have. We can test for something, and if it
comes back negative go right back into the
lab and keep testing until we can find an
answer,” said Andres. For many, the process
of testing is not only costly, but takes the
kind of time from dedicated staff and
resources only a select few facilities have
at their disposal. The lab was developed by
Dr. Baozhong Xin, who joined DDC Clinic
10 years ago.. The work done in Lancaster
and Geauga County has quickly caught on,
spurring the development of a network
of clinics working in the same vein: “There
are six of us now,” explained Gallagher.
“Each clinic is different, and we’ve all come
together to help.” All this in our backyard.
The local community helps support
the Center, and makes the work possible.
“About 85 percent of our funding is
provided by philanthropy and donations.
There are several auctions in the Amish
and Mennonite communities that provide
tremendous support. Coming up on Oct.
9 at 4 p.m. is our largest benefit auction
right here in Middlefield, at Buster
Miller’s farm at 4 p.m. at 17719 Newcomb
Road the corner of Newcomb and Nash
Roads,” Andres said. Again this year will be
an auction for a two-car 24 x 24 garage
built to your specifications on your prepared
site, horses, quilts, furniture, crafts,
flowers and vegetables. Homemade soft
pretzels, BBQ sandwiches and fries, pie and
ice cream are some of the delicious food
items available to eat. “We also receive some
support from northeast Ohio foundations,
businesses and individuals who just want to
help,” added Andres.

Home Delivered Meal Drivers Needed
Together on GO-DAY Weekend
The Geauga County Department on Aging needs Home Delivered Meal Drivers who,
once trained, can deliver meals as a substitute when the regular driver is unavailable. They
may volunteer once a month or as often as they would like. Companies and civic groups
can volunteer as a group and organize their members to reduce the number of times each
individual drives.
Meal routes are delivered Monday through Friday and provide a nutritious lunch for 10
to 15 homebound seniors. If you are 18 years or older, have a valid driver’s license and proof
of insurance, the Department on Aging needs your help. Call the Geauga County Department
on Aging, 440-279-2130, and start helping to get much needed meals to Geauga County
seniors.

When Jesus said, “. . .the son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,” in Mark
10:45, he asks us to take it to heart. And that is the plan when folks from at least nine area
churches get together in October for GO-DAY weekend. It is a time when we can cut down
all the congregational or denominational barriers and we can simply go and be the church.
The group began a few years ago with churches in Middlefield but now also includes
congregations from Parkman, Huntsburg, and Burton.
On Saturday, Oct. 17, look for people wearing blaze orange shirts and working hard.
Fifteen to 20 or more work teams will scatter through the area and respond to work requests.
The jobs may include yard clean-up or basic outside repairs for the elderly, work done for
young families going through illness or disability, or help for single parents who just can’t
get everything done.
So here is the question: Do you or someone you know need some basic work done?
Wood stacked? Leaves moved? Flowerbeds cleaned? Things needed done you can’t get
done on your own? People are willing to help and bring the tools and resources to get the
job done. Contact the office at Christ Covenant Church in Middlefield with potential job
requests. The phone number is 440-632-0602.
But there is even more to it. On Oct. 18, it won’t be the usual Sunday morning for
Middlefield and surrounding areas. People from most of the churches involved will join
together at the Cardinal High School gym at 10 a.m. for worship, preaching, and
Communion. The music will be moving and the teaching relevant. The main message
will focus on how Jesus teaches people to deal with conflict. Whether it be family tension,
church fights or work strife, God gives some downright practical ideas on how to resolve our
conflicts in a healthy way. You are more than welcome to be a part of something exciting in
this area – the church being the church.

Senses, Evolution, Healing
By Dr. David Fakadej
M
edically,
humans
h a v e
five senses: smell,
sight, hearing,
taste, and touch.
S cientifically, we
arrange the senses
in order oldest (first
developed on the evolutionary timescale)
to newest (most recently evolved).
Smell is “simple” - the ability to
distinguish the shape of a molecule. For
example, Propanol is a three-carbon
molecule with one oxygen. If the oxygen
attaches to an end carbon, it is propanol and
if the oxygen attaches to the middle carbon,
it is isopropyl alcohol. Humans can smell the
difference because our sense of smell can
detect where the oxygen attaches. Dogs
have a greater sense of smell than humans,
meaning dogs can scent more molecule
shapes. Dogs also smell in stereo. A dog can
detect from which direction a scent comes,
the distance to the scent, and the age of the
scent. “The neighbor’s cat walked right to
left across this porch last night,” thinks the
dog; humans are oblivious. But like dogs,
humans hear in stereo. Without turning
our head we know the direction, distance,
and the age (echo) of sounds. Stereo sight
allows us to tell direction, distance, and age
of objects we see.
Some people go beyond science
and believe in a sixth sense, extra sensory
perception (ESP). However, there is a
‘mystics’ sixth sense that is more reasonable.
The sense of thought, not as in processing
power, but consciousness. In evolutionary
terms, the higher the sense of conscious
thought, the newer the organism.
The oldest organisms, bacteria,
have but one sense: smell. Bacteria use
smell to move from regions of low food
concentration to high food concentration.
Higher forms of bacteria don’t see like
humans but can sense light for navigation
and food. There is a theory that birds
have a higher level of consciousness
because they think and move in three
dimensions (humans think and move in
two dimensions). But an enhanced single

sense does not bring higher thought
consciousness, just elevated singular
thought processing.
Humans evolved from hunter-gatherer
to stationary farming to omnivore. The
omnivore diet increased calorie intake with
less food, thus reducing the need for a large
digestive tract. A higher fat intake allowed
the brain to grow massively larger to evolve
beyond five basic senses, giving humans
a sense of thinking consciousness that of
species of bacteria, plant, and animal don’t
possess. In theory, if food intake reduced
again, say to the level of consuming a few
pills per day with even greater nutrient
content with little to no waste, our digestive
tract may decrease as our mental prowess
increases further. I imagine such a being
with a very tiny belly and very large head,
like drawings of aliens by people they
supposedly abducted.
Smell was the first sense to develop.
Most bacteria do not possess any higher
senses; though some have the added
sense to detect light, but not sight.
Through evolution came sight, then the
sense of sound, taste, and touch, in that
order, and what we consider as thinking
consciousness may simply be the newest or
highest evolutionary sense.
Thinking as a sense. Just as other
senses deceive us, our thoughts commonly
(every hour every day) deceive us. There
are medical specialists for smell and
taste and sound (otolaryngologist), sight
(ophthalmologist), touch (dermatologist)
and so on. There are specialists for thinking
processes (neurologists) and thought
consciousness (psyches).
Some people believe they are their
thoughts; some believe they are a body.
Such belief is as much an error as believing
you are your sense of smell; it makes no
sense. People change thoughts through
their lifetime as readily as the body and
senses change; and each is liable to
injury. Looking beyond the body’s senses,
including thoughts, means looking within,
finding one’s self, reducing error, and finding
healing. Errors don’t heal and relying on
errors for health - well, what sense it does
that make?
