7 17, Geauga Credit Unions to Merge, Serving 130K Members
By ann WisHart ann@karlovecmedia com
April 1 will mark the official merger of 7 17 Credit Union with Geauga Credit Union, according to information posted on the 7 17 website.
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies are scheduled at both the Burton and Middlefield Geauga Credit Union branches, ahead of the final consolidation of the two credit unions in November, according to a letter from 7 17 CEO Jonathan Demmier to GCU members.
“On April 1, the name and signs will change. However, you should continue to use your Geauga Coun-
ty branches,” he wrote, adding that further changes will be announced before the process is complete in November.
“The merger with Geauga Credit union adds to our branch foot print,” he said.
Originally es tablished more than 60 years ago for hourly work ers at the Pack ard Electric plant in Warren, 7 17 has since grown to 12 branches in Warren, Cortland, Vienna, Howland, Hubbard, Canfield, Austintown, Boardman, Kent, Ravenna, and Canton. Membership
is open to those living or working in Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana, Portage, Summit and central Stark counties, according to the website. Several other credit unions are also expected to join 7 17.
“The merged entity will operate under the 7 17 Credit Union name and is expected to serve over 130,000 members,” the website states.
The Geauga Credit Union merger has been in the works for about a year, Demmier said in a phone interview March 18.
“I spent a lot of time in Burton Geauga Credit Union last year,” he said. “We’re really excited to become part of the community and to
expand the work we’re doing there — helping their 6,500 members to improve their lives.”
Demmier, a Chagrin Falls resident, said the Burton and Middlefield locations serve rural communities that attracted 7 17.
“The Geauga Credit Union merger takes us into a part of the state that allows us to kinda connect with small towns, as well,” he said. “I grew up in a small town. For me, it feels like we’re coming home.”
In the letter to GCU members, Demmier described the merger as the largest in 7 17’s history, allowing the credit union to absorb $108 million in assets from GCU.

Faith Matters Easter – A Resurrection Victory
As we prepare to celebrate Easter, it seems appropriate that springtime is also arriving after a long, cold winter.
When Jesus’ dead body was laid in the tomb, hope was gone. His disciples had scattered and fled, fearful for their own lives. In the minds and hearts of the followers of Jesus, a dead messiah was no messiah at all. They failed to understand the biblical prophecies that God’s “suffering servant” (see Isaiah 53), would take our sins and the punishment we deserve upon Himself. Likewise, Psalm 22, was a foretelling of the cruel suffering and death Christ endured on the Cross for you and for me.
He is. Indeed, “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
Our earthly life is fleeting. None of us knows what tomorrow will bring. We are mist that appears for a little while, then soon disappears. However, the Good News is “From everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with us.” Because Christ is risen, death has been swallowed up in victory.
By Roger Kruse
However, that was not the end of the story. On the third day, Jesus was resurrected. The One who laid down His life, now took it up again. Christ became the victor over sin and death. No wonder He could say to Martha, the brother of Lazarus, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.”
When the resurrected Jesus appeared and began walking alongside Cleopas and his fellow traveler on the Emmaus road, they were the picture of disappointment and despair. They failed to recognize Jesus because the flame of their faith had been extinguished. Nevertheless, the words of Scripture Jesus shared with them rekindled a spark of faith and hope that soon gave birth to a new dawn of understanding and joy.
At times, life can get heavy and burdensome for you and me. Add to that the looming certainty that one day we will all take our last breath. Yet the Bible tells us that by His death Christ has destroyed him who holds the power of death- that is the devil. By doing so, He has set us free from slavery to the fear of death. Every follower of Jesus holds tightly to the promise that our risen Savior is preparing a place for us so that we can be where
Here in Northeast Ohio, we eagerly welcome the end of winter and the return of spring. The dark and bitterly cold days we have endured are coming to an end. Springtime ushers in warmer, brighter days punctuated by colorful daffodils and tulips. The naked, dormant trees will soon be clothed again with leaves, and the cheerful songs of birds will once again fill the air.
You and I have many reasons for hope and joy. God’s steadfast love never ceases and His mercies never come to an end. Each new morning, we remember and celebrate His great faithfulness.
Sometimes there is a tendency for you and me to camp out on the negative. We focus on what we don’t like and fail to recognize and enjoy the many blessings of life. The resurrection of Jesus gives us every reason for contentment. Whatever challenges we face, the Lord will be there with us. Behind every problem is the purposeful working of God.
The apostle John reminds us that our faith is the key to victory that enables us to overcome the trials and testings of life. That victory is rooted and anchored in the Easter reality of Jesus, risen from the dead.
As Roger Kruse adds birthdays, he finds winter harder to manage. Nevertheless, it accentuates the joy and wonder of spring’s arrival. May the blessings of Jesus’ Easter victory fill your heart.

Nature’s Rollercoaster Fuels Maple Syrup Boom
By allison Wilson Wilson@karlovecmedia com
Unusual weather conditions have led to a high sap yield for maple producers in the area, said Les Ober, an agriculture educator with The Ohio State University and a local expert in maple production.
In a typical season, producers begin tapping around Feb. 1, with a major sap run occurring near St. Patrick’s Day, Ober said. Ideal conditions include a consistent freezethaw cycle through mid-March, with daytime temperatures between 40 and 50 degrees and nighttime temperatures around 20 degrees.
“This year is definitely different,” he said. Ober said 2025 ended with a warm De-
cember, followed by an unusually cold January and February.
“It was just very, very odd. You didn’t have a January thaw,” he said. “It was just one cold front after another.”
Snow accumulation in wooded areas reached more than 20 inches and sap was frozen inside the trees, he said.
“Then, we had a meltdown that came on the first of March,” he said. “Temperatures went up, not like they usually do, they got up above 40 degrees or something like that. This skyrocketed, it got upwards of 60, 70 degrees.”
The “run” refers to the period when sap begins flowing, Ober said, adding that this year’s run set records.

Call 440-632-0611 to register.
“They’re gonna have plenty of syrup. There’s gonna be more than enough syrup for maple stirs.”
- Les Ober
“Guys boiled more sap than they’ve ever boiled at one time,” he said. “That lasted about six days. And then all of a sudden, the temperatures kept going up.”
As the temperatures continue to rise, many maple trees began leafing out, although sugar maples lagged behind, he said.
“It got down to that and all of a sudden we’re looking at this thing going, ‘Well is the season over? Did we get it all in six days?’” he said. “And for many producers, that’s exactly the way it was. The guys downstate, they got it all. They got a little bit of an earlier start somewhere around the 14th, 15th of February. And then when it got run out the first week of March there, they were done.”
Ober said he had never seen a season in which large operations produced so much sap. One producer reported yielding 45,000 gallons this year off 18,000 taps.
Typically, producers average about 2.5 gallons per tap, Ober said.
This season also produced a record amount of light golden syrup, he added.
“Everybody was making golden there practically through that whole period, which is kind of unusual,” he said. “They make some extremely good quality syrup and then all of a sudden, it shifted toward the end when that warm weather came in and the syrup got pretty bad.”
Although temperatures dropped again around St. Patrick’s Day, Ober said the sap quality from that period varied due to the earlier warm spell.
Despite the unusual conditions, Ober emphasized the season was not a loss for Ohio producers.
“Big producers running the technology, they had good years. They’re gonna have plenty of syrup. There’s gonna be more than enough syrup for maple stirs,” he said. “There’s gonna be plenty of syrup for pancakes. We’re not going to have to bring syrup in from New England or places like that.”
