Middlef ield The Spelling Bee Was A F-A-M-I-L-Y Affair

By Haley Adams sports@karlovecmedia.com

For the first time recorded in Cardinal Spelling Bee history, there were three sets of siblings that competed in the school district’s competition Jan. 22.

The Lehrs had sixth-grader Alexander and eighth-grader Sydney representing their family.

The Schrocks had fourth- and seventh-grade representatives, Jesse and Eliza. And the Loving family had fourth-grader Savannah and seventh-grader John, ultimately crowned the 2023-24 District Spelling Bee winner.

For the Lehrs, “Xander” finished in the fourth round with the word “sewing,” while Sydney made it into the ninth round, becoming first runner-up.

“Verve” had Sydney stumped, and came up just short of the spelling bee crown.

Unfortunately their mom, Jennifer Gerlica, missed the bee; she said the date had been moved and she missed the notice.

“But I heard that it was great,” she said. “I was more excited for them than nervous. As their mom, I was thrilled that they both were able to participate.”

When studying for the bee, both

students practiced with their mother, father, and also independently.

In being supportive of each other, neither viewed the opportunity as competition, but were instead more excited for the other sibling.

“There wasn’t much competition between Sydney and Xander.

They were both supportive of each other,” Gerlica said. “I found out that Sydney was in it first, and then a week later Xander came home and said, ‘Mom, I have some news to share.’ That’s when he told me he was in the spelling bee, too! I

think I screamed, I was so excited that they both were going to compete. I love our district!”

Added their father, Jason, “Although they’re both definitely competitive, they are far more supportive of each other than they are competitive. There was definitely some friendly teasing from one another, but at the end of the day they cheered each other on the whole way.”

On behalf of the Schrocks, Jesse put up a good fight, but exited in the fifth round after “drawers”

gave him trouble. Eliza fought hard up until the very end, but fell in the ninth round with the tricky word “mischievous.”

“I don’t think they were super competitive,” said Anna Schrock, the siblings’ mother. “There was occasional teasing over missed words, but overall they were supportive of each other. I think they were happy to have each other involved and there for the event, and I think it was especially nice that Jesse had Eliza at the middle school since the See Spelling Bee• Page 6

PUBLIC NOTICE

Middlefield Care Center NOT Closing On behalf of the Middlefield Care Center, we are reaching out to address some rumors.

The Middlefield Care Center is NOT shutting down; we will continue to serve the Amish community like we have for the past 33 years, encouraging early prenatal care and low risk deliveries.

Due to safety concerns, we did have to take away delivery privileges of two of our providers. The reasons were explained in person and in writing to these providers.

Currently, the providers at The Middlefield Care Center are Dr. Cameron, Dr. Schubeck and Jaime Fisher. Since 2002, Dr. Cameron has delivered hundreds of babies at the Care Center. He has an office in Chardon and has clinic at the Care Center on Thursdays.

Dr. Schubeck has been delivering at the Care Center since 2020 and has clinics with Jaime on Tuesdays at the Middlefield Care Center or in their Burton office.

Jaime Fisher started her career at the Care Center in 2009 as an RN, and then became Director of Nursing in 2013. Jaime has trained with two direct entry midwives and has started a business — Fisher Integrated Care — with Dr. Schubeck. Jaime is a Direct Entry Midwife.

The Care Center will continue to be a home-like environment where visitors are welcomed and encouraged. Patients are provided with 24-

hour care, allowing mom to sleep uninterrupted after birth, and aides who will take care of the newborn while mom get much needed rest.

Every patient is provided with a private room, private bathroom and a phone in their room to receive calls. All the patients are free to walk around and can make themselves something to eat if they feel up to it or visit with the other patients.

Newborns will continue to receive a visit from the Pediatrician, a PKU test, a hearing screen and parents will be given the option to have the GAP panel (from DDC). We have a lactation specialist on call if a new mom needs help with nursing. Once the patient is discharged, they receive a free home visit to check on mom and the newborn.

Evans Medical Center continues to be on call, 24 hours a day, in case the newborn needs additional support. The Care Center has a long-standing transfer agreement with our local hospital to transfer any patient that needs urgent care.

Please call the Middlefield Care Center at (440) 632-1900 with any questions you may have.

Jordak kids aren’t otherwise as familiar with the building.

“We were very proud! We were excited to be there and excited for them, but also a little nervous for all of them (just because you can see the emotions in their faces). We feel very fortunate to have the support of family, staff and community.”

As for the Lovings, who took home the winner, mother Nicole spoke after the competition about the preparation her two children used to compete.

“John did most of his training for the spelling bee on his own using technology,” Nicole said. “With Savannah, we practiced her long spelling sheet, and she also practiced with her Meemaw (maternal grandma). She would

take breaks from studying to go sledding at her grandma and Grandpa’s house (paternal grandparents).”

John won the competition during the 10th round when he spelled “fluke” correctly.

Savannah exited in round five after the challenge of “occupy.”

“The whole family is competitive, so there was definitely a friendly rivalry between John and Savannah,” Nicole said.

The Lovings also had a lot of support in the audience, with three sets of grandparents in attendance. After missing the bee due to work obligations, Dad planned to attend the Geauga County Spelling Bee, where John would ultimately claim second place.

“It was so exciting to see John win,” Nicole said. “He is very determined and has a way of making things happen.”
