Outdoor Summer Living a Focus for Geauga Businesses
By Ann Wishart
Making the most of Northeast Ohio’s
summer means taking every opportunity
to spend time outside enjoying meals,
entertaining and relaxing.
There are plenty of helpful businesses in Geauga County willing to make
your yard into a wonderful second living
space, from leveling the sloping or
sunken patio to adding a summer
kitchen to decorating with worry-free
plants or whimsical, colorful gardens.
Outside Space
While a picnic table and Hibachi
used to be sufficient for family gatherings, spacious outdoor kitchens and elegant fire pits are gaining popularity, said
Trish Carley, of Exscape Designs in
Chester Township.
“They are making your outdoor
space like an outdoor retreat,” she said,
adding the company is focused on
designing, building and maintaining
those enhanced areas.
Customers come in with sketches or
magazine articles, but more recently,
they have gone to the Houzz website to
fulfill their expansion dreams, Carley
said.
“It’s social media where people share
pictures of their homes and ideas. Houzz
provides a lot of inspiration,” she said.
It doesn’t hurt Exscape Designs to
have received Best of Service and Best
of Design awards from Houzz, Carley
said.
Decks, porches and waterscapes fill
out the list of those items that give
homeowners a great excuse to escape to
the outdoors and expand their summertime living space.
Pleasing Perennials
If you missed the window for planting fall bulbs last year, there is hope yet
for those low-care perennial favorites
and your gardening urges.
ANN WISHART/KMG
Fairy gardens have become especially popular in the outdoor family setting, said Karen Whiting of Sunrise Farms in Burton Township. The twig
structures are also good for displaying potted plants or collectibles.
Penny Orr, owner of Perennials
Preferred, said she likes to carry rare
bulbs, seeds and perennials all year, and
right now she has several crowd-pleasers.
Clusiana tulip, purple and blue muscari (grape hyacinths), lily, scilla and
dwarf iris are all vital to the year-round
landscape, she said.
Throw in some wild flowers, prim
roses and rock garden plants and every
corner of the yard can be enlivened with
color for every season.
Orr said she carries the less common
varieties as well as Renee’s Seeds from
Vermont and a selection from Seed
Savers’ Exchange, all ready to be planted
out and enjoyed this year.
“All our seed is organic or untreated,” Orr said, adding she carries pollination boxes made of bamboo that are decorative and attract all kinds of busy bees
to the garden.
Sun Shines on Fairy Gardens
The greenhouse at Sunrise Farm on
state Route 87 west of Burton Village
has filled up with a colorful variety of
flowers and plants set to move outside as
soon as the cold nights ease up.

Flex Spaces Popular in Remodeling and House Hunting
By Pamela J. Miller
No matter your stage of life, the odds
are good there’s a dream home you’ve
been thinking about. Whether it’s as part
of an entirely new property or updates
to an existing home, there are a number
of current trends on the wish list for
many people.
A few years ago, homeowners were
likely to add custom features to more
modest-sized houses. These days, trends
are going toward knocking down walls
on both properties and usage ideas.
“I’m in the process of selling a condo
with a good sized kitchen, but the couple
will be using part of it as an office
instead of having an eating space there.
They plan to use the formal dining room
for meals,” said Reena Kanner, a local
Realtor with Keller Williams Realty of
Greater Cleveland.
“Flex space,” or rooms that can be
used for multiple purposes over a period
of time, is really popular right now. The
aforementioned kitchen space, for example, could also serve as a playroom,
Kanner added.
In new homes, large multi-purpose
family areas are replacing dedicated living and dining rooms. In addition, many
houses include private “bonus” rooms
that can be used for office space or be
adapted to a variety of specialized needs.
Builder Frank Makoski, president of
Makoski Construction and chair of the
remodeling committee for the Cleveland
Home Builders Association, pointed out

Bremec Garden Springs
New Location in Concord
By Cassandra Shofar
The new Bremec Garden Center
location in Concord Township is giving
manager Michael King some room to
flex his creative muscles.
Although it is currently open for
business, Bremec of Concord — located
at the intersection of Girdled and
Ravenna roads — is still coming to
fruition, King said.
“We’re going to be under construction here for awhile, but have a temporary sales building set up,” he said,
adding they have plants, bagged goods,
chemicals, pottery and other products
trickling in more every day.
“We’re kind of looking at it as a giant
soft opening. The grand opening will
come later,” he said.
King said in general, the new location
— which was formerly Concord Nursery
— is like a smaller version of the Chester
Township store as far as product offerings go.
These include an inspiring variety of
annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, garden
décor, bulk and bagged goods and pottery. Landscaping, delivery, planting and
consultation services will also be available.
“We’ll have the same kind of products, but the look and feel will be very
different,” King said. “We are going for
rustic country look here. Everything
will be very organized here, but it’s
gonna have that rustic feel ... wood paneling, white washed and distressed
shelves.”
Since Bremec of Concord — which
sits on roughly 2 acres of land — is
being created in phases, there is no current floor plan in place, which gives
King some leg room to create his own
vision.
“It’s nice because I managed two
places before this, Champion Garden
(Center in Perry Township) and
(Licursi’s Home & Garden Center) in
Kirtland for a year,” King said. “What I
like about doing this one is that we’re
starting from scratch. There’s no floor
plan laid out, we can talk creatively and
come up with ideas about how we want
to do it. It’s nice to be able to create
visions that have been in my head for
years and do them here.
“Here, without a floor plan, you
can display how you want to. It’s nice
that we can make things functional
and put things together to make them
the way we want to ... to make a different atmosphere for a garden center.”
King has a lot of ideas brewing about
other complimentary products he hopes
to offer in the future, including sprinkling in some antique pieces throughout
the store.
The Concord store will also have one
full room dedicated to just birds, King
said, adding it will include bird feed,
cages, feeders, bird houses, bird-related
knick knacks like statues and figurines
or paintings.
He also wants everything he offers to
be local, such as custom-made jewelry
and handbags.
“I just want stuff that sets us apart
from other garden centers ... so that people don’t just come here for a shrub, but
for other things as well,” he said.
King also gave a few tips for spring
gardening:
“With the spring thaw, your garden
beds are soft. Wait for the ground to firm
up before working in the beds so you
don’t disturb vital microorganisms and
new roots,” he said. “Frigid temperatures
may have left your trees and shrubs, such
as Atlas Cedar and Hydrangea macrophylla, looking damaged. Rather than
removing or heavily pruning these
plants, wait until May or even June to
see if green returns. Old wood on your
hydrangea can leaf out as late as
Memorial Day.”
He also suggests people mark the
location of their spring bulbs as they
emerge.
“When fall arrives, you will know
where to add bulbs for a brighter 2016,”
he said.

The latest trend in kitchens is to include them as part of the normal flow of the house, rather
than keeping that as a separate space. This kitchen is a remodeling project done by Makoski.

aren’t as big as they used to be, but that
have more types of flex space.
“We take out a lot of walls. It’s a very
desirable item at this time,” he added.
In keeping with that flex space idea,
kitchens are being included as part of
the general flow in open floor plans.
According to Makoski, people are looking for larger cooking areas with islands
or breakfast bars. If existing homes don’t
have the space, owners often choose
these areas as remodeling projects.
“Now, everyone is realizing that the
kitchen is your main focal point and
that’s why the kitchen is expanding,” he
said. “If you do have a large party or
family get-together, it can overflow into
the kitchen.”
When house hunting or remodeling,
keep in mind future uses, such as a growing family or entertaining needs.
“The homebuyer today is a much
more sophisticated person than we used
to deal with. We don’t just throw up walls
anymore. We get really deep into what
the client wants. They know that their
lives change, so they are looking for that
flex space,” said Makoski.
A current trend in new homes is to
have both a first-floor master suite and
one on the second floor. For a young
family, the second suite can be used for
visiting relatives or for more privacy as
children age into teens.
For aging adults, the first floor suite is
more accessible. Makoski said that having two master suites is also ideal for
families who may want to have grandparents move in with them in the future.
Outdoor areas are the other main
focus of flex space planning.
Although Northeast Ohio is known
for unseasonably cold weather, residents
still like to enjoy to the fullest the time
they have outdoors.
“I don’t know how many clients want
a four-seasons room,” Makoski said.
“They might want to extend an existing
deck a little bit or do a little fire pit and
table out there.”
“There’s more deck and outdoor living spaces now,” agreed Kanner. “People
are using their yards more.”
Improving an outdoor space, such
as with an open kitchen or patio, can
also help make the property more
attractive if you decide to sell someday.

Conversely, adding a deck can make an
existing property closer to being your
own dream home.
Kanner stressed any remodeling be
done with an eye to reselling, especially
when it’s incorporating trends into existing houses.
“Think long term,” she said. “How is
it going to affect the next group of people?”

Chesterland Tavern Holds
Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser
By Pamela J. Miller
Since 2011, Scott and Trish Snyder
have been building rockers for the children of fallen soldiers.
The couple formed the nonprofit
Hero’s Rock after hearing about Chester
Township soldier Christoper Thibodeau
being killed in action in Afghanistan.
“Through public donations, we build
custom tribute rockers for the children of
our country’s fallen heroes. Working with
the family, we try to incorporate things
that are important to the hero. Each is special, including an etched portrait. Our hope
is to give a child some joy now, but leave a
legacy of what their hero stood for, and
show that people across our nation appreciated their loved ones service and sacrifice,” the Snyders said on their website.
After hearing about what the Snyders
were doing for the children and families
of fallen soldiers, Mike and Kelly Good
knew they had to get involved.
“The rockers they make for these
kids are amazing,” said Mike Good.
Unfortunately, the harsh winter
weather has put a halt to their charitable
efforts after the roof of their workshop
collapsed under the weight of snow and
ice in early March.
To help them in continuing their mission, Chesterland Tavern is holding a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser May 21.
Dinner will be served from 4-7 p.m., with
a Chinese and silent auction starting at
6 p.m. The Chinese auction will include a
number of prize packages, including a
pair of MMA gloves autographed by
Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell.
Chesterland Tavern is donating all
the food for the fundraiser, so all proceeds will benefit Hero’s Rock.
Tickets are $10 and include pasta dinner with salad & bread.
Call the Chesterland Tavern, 440-7291817, for reservations and ask for Hero’s
Rock.

Planting Seeds for Thought

Watson’s 87 Furniture is a familyowned and -operated business opened in
1977 by the late Jack Watson.
It offers quality and value at prices
equal to or lower than competitors, as
well as personal service in a friendly
atmosphere. With years of experience,
Watson’s offers practical advice to help
you enjoy and maintain your furniture
for years to come.
Are you remodeling this spring or
summer? Let Watson’s plant some seeds
for thought. How do you plan to use the
space? Draw a sketch of your ideal area
and imagine your family and friends using
it. How will you lay out furniture, entertainment items, TV, gaming systems, etc.?
Get realistic wall and floor measurements
of furnishings you are thinking of.
You can begin by measuring the
pieces you have and comparing what’s
available. Check sofas, end tables, entertainment stands, tables with chairs, bed
sizes and bedroom pieces, whatever you
think you want. Keep these in mind
when placing windows, doorways, stairs,
fireplaces, cabinetry, built-ins, closets,
electrical outlets, lighting, ceiling fans or
any non-movable items.
There is nothing worse than a new
area where you can’t get the furniture or
appliances through a door, around a corner, down a hall or up the stairs. Or the
beautiful new bay window being the
only wall a sofa will fit on because the
55-inch TV is taking up the only other
wall in the room without openings or
other immovable items.
It’s awkward not to have enough
electrical outlets in entertainment areas.
We’ve all seen the chandelier not centered over the table because no one
measured with chairs or considered traffic flow around it.
One last thought, will there be a way
to rearrange to add longevity to your
furniture and flooring by changing traffic
patterns and seating habits?
Watson’s carries England, Lane,
Southern Motion, Ashley, Vaughan
Basset, Brooks as well as some smaller
less-known lines in over 13,000 square
feet of show room. The store offers free
layaway, deferred interest financing and
a lease-to-own option for those with little or no credit. Delivery and removal
are available at a reasonable charge.

“Your customers really tell you what
they want,” she said, pointing out fragrant roses, including the traditional
Peace rose, pots of tuberous begonias,
herbs and a display of tomatoes and peppers almost ready to be hardened off
before planting.
Whiting said her employees are the
reason the store attracts and retains
clients through the years.
“They know what pleases our customers,” she said.
Some people like caring for their
plants every day, snipping, deadheading
and weeding to keep their gardens pristine. Others want to plant perennials and
ground cover that take care of themselves with little human interaction.
The store employees take the time to
match people with plants, Whiting said.
“We’re helping them make their
choices and, if something goes wrong, we
know what to tell them,” she said, adding
they have training to provide that valuable after-service advice.
They can help customers display the
plants they buy. An antique chair without a seat provides a perfect holder for a
large pot of petunias. It is a decorative
item created by Whiting and Dan, her
husband and business partner. Whiting
said they find an old chair, then her husband makes any repairs needed and layers the paint on so it will go several seasons without needing a touch-up.
But central to her myriad displays is

Whiting said she started selling the

“There’s so much you can do with

only one possibility. Potted plants can be
displayed to advantage on each level or
favorite collectibles would be another
option.

mile to make sure deliveries happen.

Concrete Contributions
Sometimes a good idea hits a stumbling block because some hardscape that
should be useable has lost its appeal or
become unsafe.
That can be a patio that sank or a
sidewalk that slants, sometimes causing
water problems or tripping issues as well
as being unsightly.
A-1 Concrete Leveling can solve
many of those kinds of problems with a
pressure grouting process that usually
will cost 50 to 70 percent less than
replacing the slab, said John Romanin,
owner of the local franchise.
“It’s done hydraulically. We drill oneinch holes in the slab and inject crushed
limestone —it’s a grout mix — and it lifts
the slab,” he said, adding the process is
approved by the Army Corps of Engineers
and Ohio Department of Transportation.
“A homeowner may have sunken or
uneven cement for a myriad of reasons,”
he said, adding municipalities in Geauga,
Lake and Cuyahoga counties also have
contracted with A-1 Concrete Leveling
to solve their problems.

One of the most frequently asked
questions is, “How do I maintain my
floors?”
Well, Grandma used a splash of vinegar in water. Now, there’s something better — Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner. It
is similar to Windex in that it is alcohol
based. You should be able to find it at
any good hardware store.
I also recommend having good walkoff mats at any entrances to help avoid
tracking in grit. Remember that excessive water is wood’s worst enemy.
Purchasing a Floor
There’s nothing like real wood flooring, although technology now does a
good job of simulating natural wood
grain on laminates and other materials.
When choosing flooring, take into
account these three considerations: what
you need, what you want and how much
you can afford.
For example, there are laminates,
usually of a “click in” style, that are
almost impervious to scratches.
However, keep in mind where it will be
placed, such as a kitchen or bathroom
where there is a lot of excess water and
moisture. For these areas, avoid hard
density core flooring. It may be a less
expensive option, but a different type of
flooring may serve you better as the
floor ages.
If you want real wood, one consideration to take into account is if you have
pets. A frisky, heavy dog can leave
scratches in any hardwood floor.
The harder hardwoods are your best
choice, such as Brazilian cherry, hickory,
hard maple or pecan. If you want hickory, be aware of possible moisture problems, especially with wide solid planks.
That brings us to problems caused by
relative humidity. Humidity should be at
45 to 60 percent and be controlled by
your heating and cooling system. If there
are problems with moisture and high
humidity, it can cause “cupping” or curling around the edges of wider wood
planks. An economical way to head off
this problem before it even starts is to
choose flooring made of oak, ash or
maple with planks no wider than 2.25
inches.
Engineered prefinished planks are a
pricier option, but usually come with a
15- to 20-year warranty. It also usually
has a very good coating to help protect it
from wear and tear. The other upside to
choosing prefinished materials is they
don’t need to be sanded as part of the
process, meaning a no-dust installation.
Recoating and Refinishing
If your existing floors are starting to
look a little shabby, they can be recoated
for a fraction of the cost, instead of sanding down to bare wood and refinishing
them. The recoating process involves a
light buffing vacuuming and two coats of
finish. Depending on the condition of
the current flooring, this is one option
that could give you a new-floor shine
without the new-floor price tag.
For more information on wood flooring installation and refinishing, call
Charles Ramirez, the owner of Stone
Mountain Flooring, at 440-287-6882. With
more than four decades of experience, he
can help advise you on your best options.

Arthur L. Johnson, a dairy farmer
and an agent for a fertilizer company for
Hambden Township in Geauga County,
purchased a 140-acre farm on Woodin
Road in 1874.
The Johnson family farm was sold to
Arthur’s son, A.B. Johnson, who continued the dairy farm and also produced
crops of corn, wheat oats and hay — typical crops of farming during the early
years of the 1900s. Paul, son of A.B. continued the farm operations in the middle
years and then the farm went to son
Arthur L. and then to his son, David P.
Johnson.
Today, the family farm is owned by
David and his wife, Beverly. In recent
years, their first grandchild, the seventh
generation of the Johnson family, was
born.
In 1982, the Johnson family, primarily
David and his father Arthur L., established a landscaping business and incorporated the farm and business as
Mapledale Farm, Inc. Through the years,
the Johnson family philosophy was centered on being stewards of the land and
that philosophy continues to this day.
“Through our dedicated efforts, we
provide services and materials related to
the landscaping business based on the
principals of land conservation, beautification and maintenance of commercial
and residential properties. We are dedicated to organic and green, concepts
which are the primary principles of proper land management and conservation,”
said David Johnson, president of
Mapledale Farm, Inc.
Due to the success and growth of
Mapledale Farm, Inc. over the past 32
years, the company, in recent years, has
launched several new programs. They’ve
also created five related divisions which
serve and supply the residential, commercial and industrial sectors of northeastern Ohio with complete landscaping
and snowplowing products and services.
With the implementation of these
programs and divisions, Mapledale Farm
is now designed to enhance the professionalism of its operations by providing
excellent service and quality products,
expeditiously and at very competitive
prices. The services and retail and wholesale bulk material products are provided
at 9763 Old State Road in Hambden
Township.
“We have everything you need from
landscaping design and installation services to retail and wholesale bulk materials products and trucking and snowplowing services,” Johnson said. “The laborer
works with his hands, the craftsman, with
his mind and his hands, and the artist
works with his hands, his mind and his
heart. We are the ‘artists’ of our profession.”

You wake up one morning and realize it’s just six weeks until: the wedding,
the graduation, the tropical vacation, the
black-tie party, the big reunion.
Or, perhaps you wake up and decide
you want to look prettier – and soon – just
because the winter’s blistering freeze has
left you feeling dry, parched and older.
Is it possible, you ask, to look
younger and more vibrant in just six
short weeks? Yes, absolutely!
Better still, you can have a customdesigned skin rejuvenation program to
target your unique problem areas, and
your quest to beauty can start today.
The professional skin rejuvenation
team members at Northcoast Laser
Cosmetics are really no different than
you. I think we all agree that we’d like to
have beautiful skin, using reasonably
priced treatments, and we’d like to see
results ASAP!
Our professionals have also been cosmetic patients, and between them they
have tried all the treatments: microneedling, Botox, fillers, skin tightening,
chemical peels and dermaplaning. That’s
important, because it means they can
discuss your concerns with some real-life
experience under their belts.
More importantly, our team is highly
trained in rejuvenation techniques. They
can help put together a six-week (or
longer) menu to help you get visible
results as quickly and safely as possible.
In that time, dark spots and wrinkles can
be treated, skin can be plumped and
tightened and areas of the face that have
lost volume can be contoured with dermal filler.
Most of our procedures require little
or no down time. Our clients really
appreciate that! There is a skin care
professional in the office six days a week
who is able to answer questions should
they arise.
If you have a “big event” looming on
the horizon, or you’ve just decided those
wrinkles and age spots are no longer
welcome on your face, let’s get right to
the good stuff. Here is what a sample sixweek plan could look like:
Week 1: Skin Tightening
Week 2: Chemical Peel
Week 3: Micro-Needling
Week 4: Botox and Cosmetic Filler
Week 5: Dermaplaning
Week 6: WOW!
Our nurse and estheticians can also
design a longer plan should you need or
want more intensified results. In fact, it is
usually recommended. Why? Because,
unfortunately, our skin doesn’t stay the
same! It continues to age, just like the
rest of us.
Yes, it is kind of a bummer. Here’s the
good news, though: Maintaining a youthful appearance is much less intensive than
jump starting it after a period of neglect.
Your results will be enhanced with continued treatments, but that’s your call.
Finally, Northcoast Laser Cosmetics is
proud to offer competitive pricing for
these state-of-the-art procedures.
Department store creams are lovely, but
they can only do so much, and can be very
pricey. Let our team explain to you the
cost benefit of utilizing clinical treatments.
You may find oou’ve forked over more
money for the array of lotions and potions
hidden in your bathroom cupboards.
Here’s the big question: Is today the
first day of your “six weeks to stunning?” If you’re excited to start, give
Northcoast Laser Cosmetics a call now
at 440-639-3223. After that, you can take
a leisurely stroll through the mall to find
your perfect dress for the big event.

Spring is Here and the Fleet is In
Submitted
Hopefully spring has arrived,
although a bit later than predicted by the
groundhog and later than its calendar
scheduled date of March 21.
As short days of winter have turned
into the later sunsets of spring, it is time
to prepare for lawn-mowing season.
Many people will visit their local supply store for items to prepare their lawn
and gardens for a bountiful growing season. They will spend time cleaning up the
limbs and branches that the winter winds
have blown down. They will rake fall’s
leftover leaves from their flowerbeds,
and rake the gravel that has been pushed
and repositioned by the snowplows.
Much time will be spent this spring to
prepare homes for the summer season.
But as this preparation and planning is
taking place, don’t forget the lawn equipment.
This is the time to service and maintain these items before it’s too late and
the grass is up to your knees. Do it now
before the grass is a lush green color and
in need of a trim. Take time to check
over your lawnmower, lawn tractor, zero
turn mower, rototiller, string trimmer,
chainsaw or whatever equipment you
will be in need of this season. Now is the
time to check them over for maximum
performance.
It is time to check those air filters,
change the spark plugs, check the oil and
other fluid levels, check the belts, see if
the blades are sharp and ready to go.
Your owners’ manual has a wealth of
information to help you with these tasks.
It can give you the correct maintenance
schedule for your unit and some direction or instruction on checking these
items. If you can’t find the manual or
prefer to have someone else perform
these services, contact your local outdoor power equipment dealer for advice
or set up an appointment to have your
equipment serviced.
Most independent local dealers have
staff trained and experienced to perform
routine service and repairs.
Don’t wait until the last minute. Just as
you have been waiting for spring, so has
your neighbor. He wants his lawn to look
as good as yours and his equipment needs
service, too. Dealers can get very busy
once the growing season starts. Having
scheduled maintenance and performing
routine service to your lawn equipment
will help make your mowing season a
pleasant and trouble-free season.
As you prepare your “to do” list,
don’t forget your outdoor power equipment. Just as the lawn and garden needs
to be ready, your equipment needs to be
ready, too. So get those mowers, tillers,
tractors and all those small engine items
out of the garage or shed and make sure
they are ready to go. Then you can enjoy
this summer season around your beautiful home.
Stop in and see Dan today. He has 30
years experience and is happy to answer
any of your questions as you start your
spring cleanup.

Why Beef Jerky Has Become
the Snack Choice of Late
Submitted
Beef jerky is a big business, but people should be aware of what they are
putting in thier bodies.
Beef jerky has been around for hundred of years. Native Americas are
believed to have invented it. The preservation of meats for the winter and
throughout hunting season was key to
their diet.
Today, beef jerky producers brine
cuts of meats in salty solutions using
spices to enhance flavor. The nutritional
composition of beef jerky provides several dietary benefits. Not all jerky is produced with the same benefits in mind.
Many add MGS to enhance the flavor
profile as well as adding artificial preservatives to produce more quantity while
sacrificing quality. It’s easy to see why a
local company, such as J&B Jerky, would
thrive in this growing snack market.
J&B offers unique flavors along with
all-natural grass-fed beef jerky. The
demand for a snack which has no artificial ingredients added and appeals to the
growing, health conscious consumer.
A review from The Jerky Report
rated J&B Jerky’s Red River BBQ Jerky
a 4.5 out of 5 = Very Good. This included
the packaging, look, smell, feel and taste,
which was described as “a great example
of a sauce infused product that actually
retains plenty of the intended flavor.
From the get go, (J&B Jerky’s) dried beef
continues to be extremely tender with
just the right amount of intermuscular
fat. This plays a huge factor into how well
the Red River BBQ sauce marinade sets
into the final product. What you end up
with is a tangy, yet salty taste sensation
perfect for repeat snacking. The only
thing we would have wanted, would have
been a slightly sweeter overall finish.
J&B Jerky is available at the
Chesterland Shell gas station on the corner of Mayfield Road and state Route
306; Bainbridge Shell gas station, which is
now featuring a large selection of wines,
beer and spirit mixes, at the corner of
East Washington Street and Route 306;
and at the J&B Jerky Outlet of Geneva,
at State Route 534 and Interstate 90 in
Geneva. Visit, www.JBJerkyOutlet.com

Hershey Montessori School Teaches
Topics with a Passion for Learning
Submitted
Hershey Montessori School’s Concord Campus has been cited by many as
the best kept secret in Lake County.
Nestled on a 13-acre parcel of wooded land, this campus serves children
from 2 months to 12 years and embodies
a homelike atmosphere with plenty of
space for outside activities. All-day programs are offered to children from 12
months to 12 years as well as morning
programs for children under age five.
Summer programs are offered as well, to
compliment the Montessori school-year
programs.
At the Concord Campus, Hershey’s
Montessori classrooms serve students
in a developmental program that runs
in three-year cycles: the Young Child
Community (0-3), Children’s House (36 years), Early Elementary (6-9 years)
and the Upper Elementary (9-12
years).
This internationally accredited program is a wonderfully exciting, challenging and engaging atmosphere for the
child. By providing a thorough and integrated curriculum, children retain their
passion for learning and are able to
develop their whole selves to their
fullest potential. The classroom community is a safe and nurturing environment
where respect and care for one another,
as well as self discipline, are a natural
and consistent expression of the children.
At the elementary level, Spanish,
music, art and drama are taught through
specific lessons, but are also integrated
into the lessons and research studies
conducted by the children in all the
other subject areas, thereby becoming
fully integrated into the daily life of the
child. Other key benefits gained in a
Hershey Montessori School elementary
classroom include:
•
Learning how to work well with
others through group lessons and projects, and by learning and consistently
using conflict resolution practices.
•
Developing a strong and healthy
sense of self by being given opportunities to lead and take on responsibility,
becoming known for one’s strengths and
having areas of challenge nurtured and
supported.
Hershey’s elementary classrooms
operate in a similar manner to that of a
mini society. Children are guided to
figure out how to be successful as a
Geauga
Septic Service LLC
SUBMITTED
Hershey children have access to 13 acres of
beautiful gardens and playspace with a full
outdoor curriculum in place
community working together, thus giving
the child a sense of pride and ownership
in their own educational experience.
These experiences of the younger
students are a natural link to the more
extensive work of the Adolescent
Community (ages 12-16) on the farm at
the Huntsburg Campus. The entire 100acre farm and woodland property of this
campus is considered “the classroom.”
On any given day, students can be seen
working in groups all over the property,
both indoors and outdoors, immersed in
a variety of subjects of study. Immersion
in nature is a striking element of the
adolescent’s experience on the farm.
Enrollment options are for day students,
5-day boarders, or 7-day boarders. Most
7-day boarders are international students who come from around the world
to attend this internationally acclaimed
adolescent community.
Contact Hershey’s director of admissions to arrange a visit for either campus.
Mornings of Observation are regularly
scheduled at the Concord Campus,

It’s Time for the Spring
Drive-it-Yourself Tour
Submitted
As sure as the daffodils will bloom
and the robins return, you know it is
spring when you start seeing signs for
the annual Drive-it-Yourself Tour.
This year’s excursion is May 9, so
clear your calendar and invite your
favorite “road trip buddy” for a day of
fun and exploration.
The event is a tradition in Geauga
County that kicks off National Tourism
Week in fine fashion, and gives everyone
an opportunity to be a “tourist in their
own backyard.”
How does it work? First you need a
list and map of the 25 participating locations, each featuring special activities,
give-aways, sales, samples or demonstrations to participants.
You choose a minimum of 10 stops
that appeal to you and when you stop in,
get your map stamped at that location.
Choose places you’ve never visited or
pick your favorites for a great sale or special activity. This year’s tour has seven
first-time stops, several stops making a reappearance to the tour after being off for
a few years and some standby favorites.
“I love talking with participants
throughout the day and at the finale,”
said Lynda Nemeth, Destination Geauga
director. “I hear the same phrase at least
100 times that day, ‘I’ve driven past that
place almost every day and have never
stopped until today, I’m so glad I did.’ We
love giving people that reason to stop.”
So shop, munch, browse and enjoy
the day while keeping your dollars local.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4pm.
The grand finale is at Middlefield Market
Pavilion (indoors) at 3:45 p.m. The building will open by 3 p.m. with vendors,
entertainment, snacks, a silent/chinese
auction and prize drawings begin at 4
p.m. To be eligible for the prize drawings,
you must have at least 10 stamps on your
map and have it validated as you enter
the finale. Prizes and auction items will
be baskets and gift certificates from the
stops and area businesses.

New Farmstead Creamery
Offers Local High-Quality Milk
Submitted
Starting May 1, Hastings Dairy is
offering special events open to the public
and milk for sale produced at their new
on-farm Rowdy Cow Creamery.
Hastings Dairy recently added an onfarm milk processing facility where
fresh, whole milk is bottled for retail
sale. This is a farmstead operation, which
means the finished product is made on
the farm where the milk is produced.
Being a farmstead milk bottler allows
control over the product during every step
of the process from animal care to milk
production to packaging the final product.
Rowdy Cow Creamery, which began
in February 2015, offers non-homogenized (cream on the top) whole milk in
white and flavors. Available in half gallons and pints.
What makes this milk unique? It’s
locally produced on a farm in Geauga
County. The low temperature vat pasteurization method enables the milk to
maintain its natural nutrients and great
flavor. Rowdy Cow milk is available in
white and chocolate daily. One additional flavor is featured each week including
strawberry, vanilla, root beer, orange
cream, cookies and cream, and mocha.
Hastings Dairy values transparency.
That’s why the farm is open to visitors
seasonally (May to October). People
have the opportunity to see how the
cows are cared for, learn what they eat,
watch them milking and ask questions.
Plan to attend one of the Cow Tales
Adventures or Milk from Cow to Bottle
Tour & Tasting events. You can also
book a private tour for your group.
Check the Hastings Dairy website for
dates and details.
Rowdy Cow Creamery milk is sold at
Hastings Dairy daily from 1-5 p.m. starting
May 1. It’s also available at these shops in
Middlefield: Maggie’s Doughnuts,
Middlefield Cheese Shop and Nauvoo
Family Market. The milk is also available
at Coffee Corners in Burton, Farmer in the
Deli in Chester Township, Sage’s Apples in
Chardon, and in Newbury at Familia’s Deli
and D.C. Cakes & Sweet Cafe.
It’s available at Reider’s Market in
Concord Township and Miles Farmers
Market in Solon as well.
The Hastings Family is excited to
offer farm fresh local milk in Geauga
and surrounding counties. For information about Rowdy Cow Creamery, or
events and private tours at Hastings
Dairy, go to http://hastingsdairy.com/ or

Bistro 608 Chef Creates
Mouth-Watering Cuisine
By Ann Wishart
With the opening of Bistro 608 at the
Grand View Golf Course, Traci Burzanko Holzheimer is cooking up a storm.
Just a few months after being
approached to operate the kitchen at the
refurbished Grand View restaurant, the
chef is making plans to spice up the traditional offerings with her knowledge of
international cuisine.
She and John Zivko, Bistro partner
and owner of Chefs for Hire Cleveland
caterer, also plan to enlarge the facility’s
wine cellar to please diverse tastes.
“We will have one of the most extensive wine lists in all of the Cleveland
area,” Holzheimer said, adding Zivko
has a very strong background with fine
wines.
The pair is dealing with a lot of moving pieces.
There is the upgraded dining room
that can seat 90 diners inside and another 90 on the patio.
On the banquet side of the restaurant, a dance floor provides a great setting for receptions, while a big-screen
television makes the space ideal for business meetings and conferences,
Holzheimer said.
It also provides a casual atmosphere
where golfers can wander in, have an
informal lunch and watch a little TV
while visiting.
“Golfers can still get that famous
fried bologna sandwich they are all looking for,” she said, as well as burgers.
Although she has sampled and recreated dishes she enjoyed on her visits
from Europe to Australia, fried bologna
sandwiches are a fairly local delicacy —
one she has improved upon, Holzheimer
said.
She first approached the sophistication of a fried bologna sandwich when
running her catering business, Dish

(Dinner beginning in May)
Cuisine by Design, out of the Orchard
Hills Café at Patterson Fruit Farm in
Chester Township.
After hours of research, Holzheimer
developed a red bell pepper salsa to
enhance the half-inch-thick slice of topquality bologna and added fried onions
on a Kaiser bun, creating a mouth-watering menu item her clientele loves.
“People come from all over. They tell
me they’ve been waiting all winter for
one of these,” she said, adding it was the
top seller April 17 when Bistro 608
opened its doors.
As part of the Grand View Golf
Course on state Route 608 in the southeast corner of Claridon Township, Bistro
608 is a short drive from Painesville,
Middlefield or Chardon, so the location
is not a problem, she said.
Holzheimer started her cuisine education as a stay-at-home mom at the
Burzanko farm in Parkman Township.
She operated a meal delivery service,
gradually increased her catering clientele
and relocated to Orchard Hill.
For a few years, she worked out of
Zivko’s kitchen in Independence until
this winter when a relative of one of
Grand View’s 10 owners asked if she
would like to come back to Geauga
County and take over the kitchen there.
“I met two of the owners here and
instantly saw the potential,” Holzheimer
said. “A lot has happened in a very short
time.”
Put Geauga Family Farms
Produce On Your Table
By Laura Dobson
Cold-hardy plants are already in the
ground at the 10 farms owned by the
farmers of Geauga Family Farms.
GFF is a co-op of 10 farmers who
grow certified-organic produce for their
community supported agriculture program.
Community Supported Agriculture
members pay up front for a weekly box
of produce or share that they receive for
20 weeks between June and October.
This allows the farmers to buy seeds and
pay for any labor needed to get the
crops in the ground. In return, members
enjoy truly fresh, locally grown vegetables.
Members choose from three sizes of
shares that can be picked up at a GFF
farm on Bundysburg Road in
Middlefield, Sage’s Apples in Chardon,
Lowe’s Greenhouse in Bainbridge,
Marigold B&B in Chester Township, or a
tentative site at Perennials Preferred,
also in Chester Township.
The farmers harvest the vegetables,
pack them in boxes, and have them
ready for pickup within 24 hours.
Simply choose a share size, and in early
June, members start receiving veggies
— lettuces, green onions, and radishes
will start off the season. In midsummer, members see tomatoes, sweet
corn, peppers, beans, potatoes and melons in their shares, with cabbage and
squash in the fall.
This region is able to produce an
amazing array of vegetables. GFF
farms grow more than 50 types of vegetables, and multiple varieties of many
of them.
Members talk about how participating in a CSA has taught them to eat new
and different things and changed how
they eat for the better.
There has been much discussion of
GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, lately. GMOs are plants whose
genetic material has been altered to
withstand direct application of herbicide. GFF farmers are committed to
the stewardship of earth’s resources,
and since each of the GFF farmers
grows certified-organic vegetables, you
won’t find any GMO food in your
share.
GFF also offers eggs, maple syrup,
honey, baked goods and more. Members
have access to chicken, turkey and grassfed beef as well.
Other sites are in Cleveland Heights,
downtown, Kirtland, Lakewood, Lyndhurst, Macedonia, Mentor, Painesville,
Parma, Seven Hills, Shaker, Solon,
Willoughby Hills and the Beachwood
area.
Sign up for your share by May 15. For
more info, visit www.geaugafamilyfarms.org or contact Laura Dobson at
