Patriotic Event Returning to Middlefield Sept. 9

By Rose N editoR@ka

The fifth annual Geauga Veterans Sport Fest is gathering momentum and calling all patriots to come out and support current and former members of the United States Armed Forces Sept. 9.

The event, titled, “We All Served,” kicks off at 3 p.m. in the parking lot of Great Lakes Outdoor Supply at 14855 North State Ave. in Middlefield, and includes free admission, a 50-item raffle, food, beverages and beer all day, as well as a fireworks show at 8 p.m.

“The Geauga County Sport Fest is in its fifth year and promises to be the most suc cessful one of the five,” said Steve Oluic, member of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6519 and American Legion Post 167 in Char don.

Oluic served 27 years on active duty in the U.S. Army, retiring at the rank of lieu tenant colonel in 2010 and spending nearly 11 years overseas in Germany, Korea, Iraq, Bosnia and several other countries.

“We always hold the event on the Satur day nearest 9/11 to recognize and commem orate this tragic event,” Oluic said. “The GVSF is the greatest source of funding for the local Geauga County veterans organiza tions. These funds are used to keep the posts operational — building maintenance, utilities, insurance, etc.”

Last year’s sport fest raised more than $100,000. The monies raised are divided among the following Geauga Veterans Groups: Chardon VFW, Chardon American Legion, Middlefield VFW, Newbury American Legion, U.S. Militia Reserve Component and

JES Grant Winner

After completing her first year at Cardinal Local Schools, Jordak Elementary School K-4 music teacher Alissa Mujanovic has greatly updated her classroom.

“As a new teacher to this district, I have been assessing and taking inventory of materials and musical instruments available to our students,” said Mujanovic.

During her first year at Cardinal, Mujanovic has been selected as a recipient for two grants. The first grant came from the Geauga County Retired Teachers Association. With a goal in mind of offering $250 grants to teachers who are employed in any of the public schools in Geauga County. Grants are intended to be used to support, in part or in whole, an innovative educational project that would otherwise not be possible because of a lack of school funds.

Before the grants were awarded to Mujanovic, students had to share one drum and one xylophone, where at times she had 30 students in one class. Now, her students can use one floor tom and one 13-inch tubano.

“Our students are itching to play instruments,” said Mujanovic. “Having taught elementary music in the past, I have witnessed the positive effects that instrumental music-making has had on general music students. Young students are quickly able to

veterans and gives (the public) a chance to visit some of Geauga veterans groups’ displays and hear from some elected officials on protecting our constitutional freedoms,” said veteran Mike Warner.

The title “We All Served” honors 23 Amish-area men who served in the U.S. military during World War II. Organizers said it was important to the area veteran community that “our Amish family” be recognized for

field; and Valentine Gingerich, who served in Europe and upon his return home, rejoined the Amish church and became a bishop.

“I feel the Geauga Veterans Sport Fest event is a great way for people to support local veterans and to win some great prizes,” Warner said. “For those who enjoy a great fireworks show, you won’t be disappointed.” Raffle prizes include cash, firearms, ammunition, fishing and camping packages, out-

veterans, display pride in our country and just meet some really neat people.

Event creator and Geauga County Commissioner Ralph Spidalieri added, “I am always honored and humbled to work with our veterans as they always see things as half full, not half empty. In every situation, they see a positive.”

practice, keeping a steady beat with hands together and alternating. Older students are able to continue enhancing fine and gross motor skills as rhythmic knowledge progresses. Further opportunities for rhythmic practice, performance and composition are made possible with classroom instruments. Finally, growing our classroom supply of drums will allow our students to practice ensemble skills and explore new cultural experiences like African drumming in the future.”

Her second grant was awarded to her from the Ohio Music Education Association where she was able to purchase three more floor toms and one more 13-inch tubano.

“I will now be able to incorporate these instruments in all 15 of my classes, ages kindergarten through fourth grade, for years to come. In total, these instruments would benefit more than 400 students per school year,” said Mujanovic.

For a school district that has a strong music department in the secondary education, incorporating this type of music lessons into the younger students should encourage participation and skills for those students once they get to middle and high school. Mujanovic and her students will perform two concerts for families, friends and members of the community during the 2023-24 school year, while also performing at Grandparents Day, Veterans Day and more.

Bookbag Donation

Superintendent Jack Cunningham, middle and high school Principal Paul Gerycz and Jordak Elementary School Principal Robert Kujala received 20 bookbags stuffed with school supplies for students in the Cardinal Local School District on Aug. 21. It marks the third year that RadioActive and Cardinal has partnered with Verizon through Wireless-Zone TCC.

C.J. Ventra, store manager, felt the dona-

tion was close to home when his son entered the first grade at Jordak this school year.

“We appreciate the opportunity and ability to donate to our local schools,” said Ventra. “As for a company on what it means, I feel in a wonderful small knit community such as Middlefield, it is very important we give back to our community. Matt Smith and all of us here value community outreach and being unselfish to Middlefield where we’re lucky to bring the best Verizon experience.”

First-graders in Mrs. Danielle Kinder’s class enjoy the new drums acquired through grants awarded to music teacher Alissa Mujanovic.

Faith Matters The Master Weaver

For five centuries India has produced handmade wool and silk carpets that are highly regarded and very beautiful. When my wife and I lived in India, we both purchased a 4x6-foot colorful carpet with intricate, colorful designs that go back to the earliest carpet makers from Persia. Many of the carpets made have 400-500 knots per square inch and some are as high as 1000 kpsi. A carpet like ours has over 2 million knots. These densely made carpets are high quality and long lasting. It often takes months to make just one carpet and up to a year for a larger one. I regard them as a cherished work of art.

I have seen the carpets being made as the master craftsman weaves by hand the spinning yarn on a loom constructed of wood. His hands move quickly and rhythmically, keeping in his mind the desired pattern which has been passed down to him from his forefathers.

Each of us is the product of God’s creative genius. We were first imagined in the mind of our Creator, who loves us and delighted to give us the gift of life. Psalm 139 tells us, “You created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am awesomely and wonderfully made. Your workmanship is marvelous, and I know it full well.”

By Roger Kruse

Sometimes we might wonder if God made some mistakes. We may not like certain things about ourselves or ponder why we had to face certain circumstances that caused us pain and suffering. However, like a master weaver, God uses the different strands of our life experiences here in a broken world. He weaves His goodness and divine purposes into the fabric of our lives. He asks us to trust His love, and believe in His power to use our hardships to make us stronger, wiser and more like Jesus.

When you examine the back of the carpet, the knots are visible and the pattern not as beautiful. The question might be asked if the weaver ever makes a mistake? Certainly there could be moments when he does not execute his movements perfectly or feed the yarn exactly as he might have intended. However, he has learned that a small deviation from the pattern will not be noticed or diminish from the final result. Besides, each carpet is unique and never exactly the same as any other.

When you enter a showroom where many carpets are displayed for selling, the salesperson does everything in his power to show you many different specimens. The effect is overwhelming and whets your appetite to take one home. He unravels one carpet after another, watching your reaction, and endeavoring to find just the right one you cannot resist buying.

Of course, when you finally make a selection and ask the price, he is likely to quote a price much higher than you want to pay. That starts the bargaining process so common to India. It can be a bit stressful, but also fun. With practice you can get a fair price and maybe even a good deal.

Many of you may remember that our second son Wade was profoundly disabled. He never took a single step or spoke even one word. He suffered much for 23 years with pain, sickness, seizures and surgeries. At times, life was so hard for him and for us, his parents. However, I can truthfully say that his life was a great blessing to many. His courage, joy, and perseverance taught us so many lessons. We watched God weave the people and events of our lives into a beautiful experience full of faith, hope and love. We learned that the Lord’s purposes enrich our lives and that His power is made more evident in our weaknesses.

God’s wisdom and skill is certainly far beyond that of an Indian carpet maker. Yet, we learn from that simple illustration, the truth that God is weaving something beautiful into your life and mine. All that He requires is that we learn to walk by faith, knowing that Jesus will never fail nor forsake us.

Roger Kruse finds pleasure in the beauty of an Indian carpet. However, his greater delight is watching his heavenly Father weave his life experiences into something beautiful and purposeful.

Young Huskies Come Up Short On Pitch

By Rich kelly spoRts@kaRlovecmedia com

In perusing the teams before their soccer game Aug. 29 at Grand Valley, the host Mustangs had a clear advantage in players. While numbers were even, nine young ladies dotted the bright green pitch for the Huskies, a seemingly huge disadvantage.

As it turned out, it was a disadvantage, but far from a huge one, as Grand Valley tallied four first-half goals en route to a 6-1 win.

Playing full field with a team of young men can be a daunting task. During recent World Cup action, as the supposedly vaunted USA team practiced against local boys high school teams and got drilled, the simple fact of physical differences was apparent.

In this game, however, the Huskies girls more than held their own in efforts.

The difference in this game: Grand Valley (1-2) had more team speed up front. Sophomore Anthony Eason scored twice, and the Mustangs made good on a pair of penalty shots to score. But defensive efforts by all the Huskies were superb. The goalkeeper for Cardinal was Anna Layman, still recovering from an ankle injury.

The way she played in close quarters, with many superb stops along the way — the score well could have been a double-digit difference instead of what it ended up being.

The Huskies, too, have some speed on the lines, just not enough to match up well against this GV team.

In the second half, with 18:14 gone, soph-

stopped the shot, but Eastlake made a profes sional-like header back into the net to wake up the Mustang faithful.

Eason tallied his second goal of the night, and freshman Christian Johnson sent a penalty kick home to close out the scoring, but

early, but defense from the young Huskies, great saves from Layman, and excellent ball control and passing from midfielder Adelyn Grant, another budding freshman star, along with solid help from all the Cardinal players who got onto the field, give Cardinal Head

soccer careers,” he said. “It’s good to know that other fans of other teams appreciate what they are seeing from out players. It gives us hope for a brighter future and more success if we just stick with it. The heart to learn is definitely there for everybody.”
