Maple Splash Truck Winners Hit the Road
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
When he bought three raffle tickets online mid-July, Mark A. Ward had no idea he would be driving his 2025 Ford 150, 4WD, crewcab pickup back to Florida before August.
“I’m not a winning guy,” Ward said the morning of July 28, standing in the Preston Ford parking lot in Burton Village.
However, he did not doubt his luck when Kathy Batty called with the news, he said.
Batty is a member of the Burton Middlefield Rotary Club and was so excited when his name was announced, she insisted Mark and his wife, Donna, watch the ticket drawing for the truck Preston Superstore donated to the club on Facebook, he said.
In short order, the Wards bought one-way tickets to Cleveland in anticipation of collecting their prize from BMR Club President Jeff Pascoe, Secretary Bob Johnson and Treasurer Larry Fox.
Mark said he grew up near the Geauga County Safety Center and, after living in Michigan for years, returned to build a house on Kile Road in Hambden Township in
2009, where they lived for 10 years before retiring to Florida.
Although the truck, donated by Preston Auto Store, appeared white in the pictures, Mark said he was glad when the color, called avalanche, was a light gray with a “sprinkle of green.”
“We won’t put a ton of miles on it,” he said. “It’ll outlast me.”
It was the sixth year the Prestons donated a vehicle to the BMR Club for a lottery and it drew a lot of attention, Pascoe said.
Tickets sold well for the truck, valued at $62,000, boost-
ing the total the club has raised from $210,000 in 2024 to about $230,000, he said.
“The truck give-away pretty much finances the philanthropic work we do. The gist is, we raise it so we can give back,” Pascoe said.

Former Cardinal Treasurer Writes Rom-Com
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Terry Armstrong started writing his 249-page book “Holiday Headlock” less than two years ago, mixing his love of professional wrestling, his history with Hallmark Channel movies and his devotion to his grandmother into a “cozy Christmas” romantic comedy.
“It reads a little like a Hallmark movie. That was the goal,” Armstrong said in a recent interview.
The writing of the rom-com coincided with his two-year tenure as treasurer of Cardinal Schools.
Armstrong, 54, left the treasurer’s position last month to work at Lakeview Schools in Trumbull County, where he and his wife, Kimberly, live.
During the interview, he said he
likes the short drive to work now, but noted he valued bouncing romcom ideas off the Cardinal staff and called his writing “my side hustle.”
“I always got good feedback from everyone,” Armstrong said.
The plot revolves around a professional wrestler who takes a hiatus from the glamour of the ring for a holiday visit with his memory-challenged grandmother, who lives in fictional Deer Creek Falls, Ohio.
Anyone who has watched a Hallmark Channel movie knows where the story will lead, he said.
“They’re all the same formula,” Armstrong said, adding having a wrestler as his main character “gives it a little different perspective.”
The Armstrongs are fans of Hallmark Channel movies, having
three raffle tickets was drawn July 12 during the Maple Splash Festival. Pictured are, from left, Burton Middlefield Rotary Club President Jeff Pascoe, Jackie Preston Franck, Mark Ward, Donna Ward, BMR Club Secretary Bob Johnson and BMR Treasurer Larry Fox. It was the sixth year the Prestons donated a vehicle to raise funds for the club.

seen hundreds in the last 10 years, he said.
Although the genre is noted for its happily-ever-after endings, getting to that end is where a writer’s imagination is essential, he noted.
Armstrong’s fascination with professional wrestling was the motivation behind his writing, encouraged by Kimberly and their daughter, Moira.
In all their rom-com viewing, the couple had never seen one centered around wrestling, he said.

The sub-plot of dealing with a grandmother in a new stage of life reflects Armstrong’s own love of his grandmother, Fannie Hess, who lived in Levittsburg, helped raise him and shared her pro wrestling passion with him.
“She loved it. We went all the time,” Armstrong recalled.
He dedicated “Holiday Headlock” to his grandparents, Fannie and Paul Hess, and included a photo of Fannie and professional wrestler Preston Steel on the page.
Although he spent years attending matches and even did some announcing, Armstrong said he realized he needed to do some research to get the behind-the-scenes flavor, so

he approached a promoter he knew.
“I learned a lot more about the business,” he said.
Timing of the book was important, as well, Armstrong said.
He wanted it to publish in July so the book hit the narrow Hallmark Channel Christmas in July romance niche.
“Holiday Headlock” published July 7 and was highly rated the first week of the event, Armstrong said, adding it is available on Amazon.com.
Armstrong said he had a lot of fun writing it and has been getting great feedback, with the most common comment: “This should be a Hallmark movie.”

Faith Matters Perspectives on Life and Faith
It’s a rainy day in Middlefield. I should be thankful. Yesterday was hot and muggy. After weed-whacking and planting a tree, my old body (and chronically sore back) was about tuckered out. However, I did not get the yard mowed as I wanted. Looks like the rain will change my plans a bit for today.
When I got up this morning, I discovered the dog had peed in the kitchen. I was not happy. I grumbled and reluctantly cleaned up the mess. Sometimes life isn’t smooth sailing. After further consideration, I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
Tragedies and health crises are happening to people all the time. I have so much to be thankful for. Recently, I was reading about persecuted Christians in India and around the world. Pastors and ordinary followers of Jesus are being beaten and jailed for no reason other than their faith. Christians are forbidden to gather in homes and live in fear of discrimination and violence against them.
ple and the working of His Holy Spirit. Hearts are hungry for the Good News, yearning for the love, forgiveness and power of Jesus. Indeed, Christ is building His Church, just as He promised. Truly, “the gates of hell will not prevail” against God’s Kingdom growth.
By Roger Kruse
Because we can no longer return to India, we have since journeyed to other countries in Southeast Asia, I will not mention. Wherever we go, we discover God at work, transforming lives and infusing hope and joy. We take note of the contrast in spiritual openness. Here in America, we often seem preoccupied with the busyness, comforts and pleasures of our affluent lives. Unfortunately, matters of faith get pushed aside.
Last year in April, my wife and I returned to India once again. This time was different. We were questioned and detained by the immigration authorities at the airport for the whole day. Our cell phones were confiscated and we were questioned individually in different locations. We were told we could not do ministry on a tourist visa. That evening we got on a plane to Singapore and were met by airport authorities there. After further questioning, it was determined we were free to travel on and our passports were finally returned to us.
It took a while for that experience to settle in my mind and heart. India has a very special place in my life. I first visited in 1976 and met my wife (who is from New Zealand) there in 1980. I have made many visits to India through the years. I have seen God do amazing things through the faith of His peo-
To maintain a healthy and growing trust in God requires focus and earnestness. Jesus said, “Anyone who puts his/her hand to the plow and looks back, is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” This earthly life is a prelude to the eternal life that awaits us all. The Lord is using our daily experiences to show us how much He loves us and how much we need Him. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to “run with perseverance the race set before us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith.”
Don’t allow yourself to drift through life without a spiritual focus. The things we see around us are temporary. However, the spiritual realities we cannot see, last forever. God is faithful. Every life experience is an invitation and an opportunity to discover God’s love and purposes for you. Make it your mission to grow your faith. Begin by reading your Bible and pursuing conversation with Jesus, the One who died for you and now lives.
Roger Kruse’s faith is a growing reality that requires a determination to trust and obey Jesus. Pray, too, for Christ-followers in India.

Two buses departed from different parts of the county transporting attendees to a variety of skilled nursing and rehab centers. The

A Message from the Mayor
As some of you are aware, we started our five-street renovation project last month. The first streets to be completed are North Thompson and Northview. North Thompson requires completion prior to the start of the school year, so it was moved to the first phase of this project. All five streets will be complet ed in a timely manner and are expected to be finished this month.
It seems surreal that we al ready have reached August. I think the wet spring—for which we are thankful—played with our mental time clocks. I thought summer just began and I’ve al ready seen signs advertising The Great Geauga County Fair.
I had the privilege of attend ing the summer youth aviation camp. This is an annual one-week camp that introduces high school youth from all over the country to the field of aviation. I was so impressed with the curriculum and the quality of volun teers and students. The eagerness of those in attendance was refreshing and had the poten tial to be life changing. I was invited to attend by Sherry Niederkorn, who, along with her husband and airport staff, does a fantastic job of immersing young adults into the details and career opportunities in aviation. I would encourage you to investigate this opportunity, which is scheduled every July. They limit the class to 18 students, so enrollment isn’t guaranteed.
Our police department just completed Safety Town—a program designed to educate very young children on areas of danger they may not be aware of. I was there for a sampling, and again, the innocence and enthusiasm of youth is so refreshing. I thank the police, fire and EMS for giving the effort and the concerned parents who see value in the program and decided for their children to attend. I think the information shared is priceless and will protect these children as they are exposed to potential danger.
We have our additional well up and running as designed. Our water supply shortage situation of last year will not reoccur. Council and I are fully focused on ensuring our infrastructure will support our vibrant village. We are close to completing the acquisition of the property to the west that will support our village for years to come.
We are still pursuing development of a walk-in clinic. The facility is needed for our area and I am confident this will soon become
