Middlef ield Cardinal Schools May Change to Latin Honor System in 2026 By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com Cardinal High School Principal Paul Geryez proposed Dec. 13 eliminating the traditional valedictorian-salutatorian graduating class structure in favor of the cum laud system used at the post-graduate level. Beginning with the class of 2026, the district curriculum committee recommended ranking graduating seniors as summa cum laude (grade point average of 4.2 or better), magna cum laude (GPA of 3.91 to 4.19) and cum laude (GPA 3.6 to 3.9) to minimize unhealthy competition, Geryez said. “That’s key,” he said. “All honors are based on the students’ GPA as compared to a standard of excellence rather than competition for the highest GPA.” The top 10 graduating seniors with the highest GPAs were the only students recognized in the past, he said. “With the Latin honors system, we can honor more students who have excelled in the classroom,” Geryez said, adding all students with a GPA of 3.6 and higher would be honored. If that occurred in the classes of 2024 or 2025, more than twice as many graduates would be honored. Geryez said starting the Latin honors system in two years will avoid changing it for students in the classes of 2024 and 2025, who may have already chosen their class schedule, working toward that valedictorian position. In the race to become valedictorian, ambitious juniors and seniors often take classes that will give them higher GPAs rather than sign up for those subjects more interesting to them or more beneficial to them in the future, he said. That leads to the conclusion the weighting of classes — i.e. the grade point value of a class that affects a student’s GPA — needs to be adjusted, said Associate Principal Brian George. Cardinal High School students who qualify may take a College Cred-

it Plus American history class, which yields a grade point value of 5.0 for a grade of A, he said. The CCP biology class is weighted at 4.5. The curriculum committee plans to adjust the weighting of grades beginning next year if the change to the Latin honors system is approved, Geryez said. Numerous public high schools in the region, including those in the West Geauga, Kirtland and Chagrin Falls districts, have shifted to the Latin honors system, he said, adding CHS department staff said there are elective subjects they want to offer next year and will start scheduling students for classes in January. Superintendent Jack Cunningham said Geryez would reach out to families for feedback on the proposal. In other business, the board accepted a check for $49,266 from the Cardinal Athletic Boosters that was collected from a raffle for a pickup truck Preston Superstore of Burton donated. Cunningham said $43,000 would go toward covering athletic pay-to-participate fees and the board would be covering the remaining fees for the 2024-2025 school year. “After this year, our families
will no longer have pay-to-play fees. A lot of hard work has happened here and there and everywhere,” Cunningham said. “We think kids could be able to do whatever they want in extracurriculars.” He and the board thanked Pat Preston for his generosity and
admired the Kia vehicle Preston brought to the meeting and is donating for a raffle to help with athletic fees for the next school year’s pay-to-participate fees. “That has been the most talked-about thing since I’ve been at Cardinal. Awesome,” Cunningham said.

Cardinal, Berkshire Competitive in Russ Ward Invitational By Rich Kelly sports@karlovecmedia.com
A sunny day in Northeast Ohio brought a full parking lot to Cardinal High School. A craft show was in one part of the high school building, and the gymnasium featured high school wrestlers from 14 area schools who put on some pretty crafty displays of their own for wrestling fans and supporters. When all was said and done, Benedictine walked away with the team trophy by a large margin, but locals Cardinal and Berkshire were right there, with the Huskies scoring 90 points for 10th place and the Badgers coming in at 13th place with 44 points. Cardinal Coach Dakota Ward saw many positives for both his team and the meet itself. “I’m really happy with how things went for us today,” Coach Ward said. “Last weekend we were at the meet at Hawken against some really good talent, and we may have been a bit intimidated by it all. Today we were much more relaxed in our own gym, it showed, and we had some really good efforts from several kids.” Clayton Carman at 113 and Ben Bolton at 150 took third place honors for the Huskies to lead their team. Clayton was an aggressor all day, winning three times in four attempts on the mat via pin. He took third place with a pin of Peter Dalton of Benedictine in 44 seconds for his third place finish. Bolton also finished third at 150 when he flattened Taj Slanadadeen of Cleveland John Adams in 5:08. At 138, Angelo Kozelko claimed fifth

place when he pinned Keegan Ellison of Garrettsville Garfield in 2:10. The Huskies did well against some topnotch opponents, but possibly their happiest wrestler was junior Rylee Leichtman, who stepped on the mats as one of only two females to compete in the meet. Both she and Tamya Bouie of Cleveland John Adams gave good accounts of themselves, and ended up being pinned in each match they contested, but showed good skill sets nonetheless. “When I was younger, I used to go to watch wrestling all the time to see my broth-

ers wrestle for Ledgemont,” Leichtman said. “It was just a lot of fun, and I’ve kind of missed it at times, so I just wanted to give it a try here, and it’s worked out very well for me. “Some guys can be a problem wrestling a girl, but I just try to work hard and deal with it as best as I can.” Her coach sees growth in her attitude and skills each day. “Rylee has just been so good to have as part of our team,” Coach Ward said. “She really works hard, and her attitude about it all is amazing. She loves to compete as well, and
she is not outclassed when she steps on the mats.” At his lower weight class, Carman is the starting engine to get the Huskies moving, and his trio of pins in this tournament are what younger wrestlers need for inspiration. “Wrestling is just such a great sport for an individual to compete in,” he said between his efforts leading teammates to one mat or another all day long in the Cardinal gym. “With wrestling, things can really happen so fast, you can’t understand what’s happening at times. You can be losing, catch the guy in a mistake or off balance, and you get him. It’s great.” The senior was busy all day long supporting his young teammates, too. At 132, Troy Champlin had a solid day as well for the Huskies. “This is becoming a really good tournament for our school and for our team,” he said as he prepared for his next match. The results were not what he wanted, as he came up on the flat side of a pinning hold after a tough match, but his positive leadership was clear for everybody to see. The Berkshire Badgers were represented well in the Huskies gym, a place they would revisit Dec. 20 in a matinee matchup before a full house — a rare effort to bring high school wrestling to kids who may not know what really goes on in the sport. Preston Garling took second place in the 190-pound weight class when he was pinned by Major Grant of Twinsburg in 1:24. Logan Wolford took fourth in the 106-pound class.

Obituaries David James Kiraly
David James Kiraly, age 87, of Middlefield, passed away peacefully Thursday evening, Dec. 14, 2023, at his home. He was born in Rock Creek, on Feb. 10, 1936, to the late Ben Sr. and Katarina Kiraly. David was the beloved husband to Carol (nee Glazer) for 62 years, father to Maria Arnold and Kevin Kiraly, grandfather to Adam, Chad, Paul and Katia, and friend to many. He was an electrician at General Electric (Nela Park) for over 40 years, starting in the mail room at age 17, and becoming a lamp changer while attending night school. He was advanced to electrician and rose to be manager of electrical maintenance and supervisor of over 10 men. David often beamed with pride and happiness when discussing his many projects and he was admired by his workers. David’s advantage was that he knew all the utility line locations, as there were no historical blueprints with markings. He was also the only person who could work on the facility’s ancient clock tower chimes during seasonal time changes.
As his electrical expertise and reputation grew, he worked for many dignitaries, including the Humphries (Secretary of State under Eisenhower). He also worked on the Christmas display at Nela Park every year and did charity work. David’s best friend, Joe Mormino, and he founded Electric by DJ, Incorporated, that for decades put up the bulk of the Cleveland downtown and Public Square Christmas displays. The display was given many awards and much recognition. His favorite hobbies included fishing, boating, hunting, golfing and travel. David also liked wintering in Florida for many years. When he met his wife, Carol, David surprised her by playing the harmonica. In his later years, he especially enjoyed walking the dog and talking with the neighbors. A memorial service, followed by a luncheon, will be held at 11 a.m. Dec. 18, 2023, at Mary Yoder’s Amish Kitchen, 14743 N. State St., Middlefield, with Joyce Benesh officiating. Arrangements have been entrusted to Best Funeral Home, 15809 Madison Road, Middlefield, 440-632-0818. Online condolences may be sent at www.bestfunerals.com.
Hartville Hardware Closer to Building in Middlefield Viilage By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com
Hartville Hardware Inc. hopes to break ground in 2024 for an 80,000-square-foot store on more than 20 acres west of Middlefield Village, village Mayor Ben Garlich told village council Dec. 14.But, several steps have to be taken before the hardware company shows up with golden shovels in Geauga County. Middlefield Township Trustees approved the annexation by the village of the parcel on the west side of Middlefield Village on Dec. 11, Garlich said. If the Geauga County Commissioners approve the annexation, the project may begin in 2024 and the store could open as early as 2025, he said. In a phone call Dec. 18, Garlich said Hartville established a
presence in the village when it bought the Centerra Lumber and Supply Center on East High Street in March 2020. In September 2022, Gary Sommers, CEO of HRM Enterprises Inc., parent company of Hartville, presented to the village planning commission the company’s vision. The company proposed to build if access to Kinsman Road and Tare Creek Parkway could be arranged. Village council approved access to Tare Creek Parkway just south of the Ohio Department of Transportation property for Hartville and for Charles White, who owns about 25 undeveloped acres north of the property he sold to be developed. A long, east-west multiple-lane driveway connects both properties to Tare Creek Parkway. Tapping into village water and sewer requires annexation of the parcel into the village. If the project progresses as discussed, the village proposes a 10-year tax abatement of 75% on improvements to the parcel, which will become a Community Reinvestment Area — areas of land in which property owners can receive tax incentives for investing in real property improvements, according to the Ohio Department of Development. According to the Geauga County Auditor’s map, Sherpa Development LLC, a partner of Hartville, purchased the property in December 2022. No sales price is listed, but market value of the parcel is listed as $313,400. The plans for the Hartville Hardware store show about 150,000 square feet under roof, including the store and out buildings for storing lumber, etc., Garlich said, adding he understands the entire project will cost about $15 million and the facility will need about 60 employees. “If their business plan goes as planned, that’s a lot of new employees and that’s good for Middlefield Village,” he said. The store will be similar in design and scope to the company’s flagship structure in Hartville, which markets an extensive selection of tools and equipment.
