Middlef ield A GRAND OLD FLAG, RAISED HIGH
A new American flag flies between ladder trucks from the Middlefield Fire Department and Orwell Fire Department during a setup session at the Middlefield fire station. The flag, purchased for the department by Middlefield VFW Post 9678, will be displayed at community events, memorials and special occasions throughout the area. Middlefield firefighters thanked the VFW for its generosity and Orwell Fire Department for lending its ladder truck and expertise as crews worked out the logistics of the new display.

Middlefield Post Looks to Expand Free Pickup Distribution Move Offsets Rising Postal, Printing Costs While Growing Circulation Staff Report The Middlefield Post will be transitioning to more of a free-forpickup delivery model, a change designed to offset rising postal and printing rates while putting more copies of the newspaper into more hands across the communities it serves. Under the new model, the Post will expand its circulation and distribution throughout Middlefield and the surrounding areas, including West Farmington, Windsor and Orwell, with free copies available at participating stores and other convenient pickup locations. Postal rates have climbed steadily in recent years and printing costs continue to rise across the newspaper industry. Rather than pass those increases along to advertisers, the Post is redirecting resources from the mailbox to the storefront — a move designed
to keep the newspaper free while growing the total number of copies in circulation. Readers will be able to pick up the Post at local retailers, restaurants and other high-traffic locations throughout the coverage area. A full list of pickup locations will be published in upcoming editions as plans are finalized. For advertisers, the expanded distribution means broader reach across Middlefield, West Farmington, Windsor and Orwell — and more readers seeing their message in every issue. The Middlefield Post is a publication of the Karlovec Media Group, which also publishes the Geauga County Maple Leaf, Chesterland News, Kirtland Chronicle and GeaugaNOW! magazine. For questions about the new distribution model, pickup locations or advertising, email editor@karlovecmedia.com or call 440-729-7667.

AxessPointe Plans to Open Health Facility By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com AxessPointe Community Health Services may partner with University Hospitals to operate a health clinic in Middlefield Village, Mayor Ben Garlich announced during the Sept. 10 village council meeting. The potential partnership would involve the former BFG building, which the village is developing into a health care facility. “We’ve been working with UH on a medical center in Burton Township,” Garlich said, referring to the property the village bought several years ago on state Route 87 west of Middlefield Village. “We now have plans ready to go to a contractor for pricing.” AxessPointe, based in Akron, secured a grant to set up a clinic in the village, Garlich said. The grant requires the first patient to be seen in 120 days, prompting the village to seek a temporary location for the clinic until the UH facility is operational, he said.

“The UH (build-out) is too slow for that timetable. I wish (AxessPointe had) come to me a year ago,” Garlich said. “We’re looking at synergy between the two.” In a Sept. 13 text message, Garlich said he is working with both organizations to explore ways to combine their efforts. “UH’s design plan may change if they do a joint effort,” he said.

According to AxessPointe’s website, the organization was established in Akron in 1995 as a federally qualified health center serving medically underserved communities. It provides integrated medical, dental, behavioral health and pharmacy services. In 2024, AxessPointe merged with Family and Community Services Inc. to form Axess Family Services. The organization operates facilities in Akron, Kent and Barberton and connects individuals and families with community services, housing and veteran services across parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to its website. “We support basic needs like food, clothing, transportation and enrichment, as well as youth mentorship, senior support and early intervention,” according to the website. “We provide transitional and permanent housing, emergency shelter for all populations, including victims and survivors, as well as legal advocacy, safe exchanges, and visitations for families impacted by violence and abuse.” AxessPointe also assists veterans and their families with housing, case management and financial services. In other business, Garlich appointed Middlefield Assistant Fire Chief Ben Reed as the
village’s fire protection officer in advance of Reed’s Sept. 27 appointment as fire chief. Reed’s father, Chief Bill Reed, is retiring. “We want to make sure we recognize your dad … for his service to this village,” Garlich said, noting the longtime chief was not available for the appointment. “You are now appointed (FPO). Congratulations.” Village Roads Supervisor Joe Tucholski reported that the pocket park at the corner of state routes 87 and 608 has been demolished in preparation for improvements to the area. “All the concrete is up, the trees removed and the stumps ground,” he said. “We saved a lot of the stone.” The park will be more user-friendly and should be completed this year, Garlich said. Council approved an ordinance authorizing Garlich to provide tax incentives to Green products LLC, also known as Naturepedic, of Bainbridge Township. The company plans to relocate to a vacant building next to flooring manufacturer Tarkett USA Inc. at 16077 Industrial Parkway under a job creation income tax credit agreement. According to the company’s website, Green Products LLC produces organic mattresses. “It’s a very clean operation. I’m excited about them taking that building,” Garlich said. Village Administrator Leslie Gambosi-McCoy said the company will bring approximately 124 jobs to the community.
