Cardinal Updates Fleet, Plans for the Future

By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com

Cardinal Schools Treasurer Seth Cales focused on transportation during a school board workshop March 22.

It was the beginning of a discussion about the district’s fiveyear plan that includes projects such as the high school roof, climate control at the high school and the necessity of replacing vehicles to transport students over the 79-square-mile area from Huntsburg Township to Parkman Township.

“Our fleet is aging,” Cales said.

He showed a spreadsheet to the board that included the number of miles each vehicle has covered in its lifespan. One bus has more than 246,000 miles on the odometer. Older vehicles require increased maintenance, which is expensive and doesn’t always happen quickly because parts delivery is unpredictable.

“With supply chain issues from

COVID, it is very important to plan ahead,” Cales said.

Cardinal has five new buses on order that should be delivered between May and October, he said.

The full-sized vehicles will need to be outfitted with cameras, etc., so they won’t be on the road immediately, Cales said, estimating the new buses will be collecting students by January 2024.

The district has a total of 13 regular buses in the fleet.

“We will have a relatively new fleet, which will minimize repairs over the next five years,” he said.

The district has three small buses used to transport students with special needs.

“Some are really on their last legs,” he said, adding two of the buses have more than 240,000 miles on them and only one has a lift for students in wheelchairs.

“Some of our vans are getting up there, as well,” he said.

Adding in the odometer readings from the district’s eight vans, Cales figured school vehicles have

traveled a total of more than 1 million miles.

Superintendent Jack Cunningham said a small bus holds five students and the district needs one small bus with wheelchair access.

Vans cost about $36,000 each and a small bus costs about $117,000, Cales said.

He recommended the board address the fiveyear plan in the next work shop at the end of April.

In other business, Cunningham said no ca lamity days have been used in the 2022-2023 school year. He proposed moving the last day of school up four days to May 23 and using those four days without students on campus for staff professional development.

“We’re getting ready to adopt a new math curriculum,” he said, adding the teachers in grades kindergarten through fourth could be introduced to the new system.

“I’d like to get the information

summer to dive into the new curriculum. There’s plenty of things we’d like to get done before the teachers leave,” he said.

Teachers usually spend time during summer vacation to prepare for the following year, Cunningham said.

The plan to hire a fulltime cafeteria manager rather than contract with the Educational Services Center of Western Reserve for a part-time manager was discussed.

“We think we can do it in-house. We’d rather have somebody here full-time so we have more control and consistency,” Cunningham said.

“We believe we can do it for close to the same amount of money we are spending with ESC.”

He also said the district would benefit from a part-time grant writer.

The position may pay $30 to $40 an hour and would pay for it-

Cardinal Tracksters Compete Before Weather Affects Invitational

Ty Simmons, right and Riley Homa competed April 1 at the William E. Fisher Invitational at Cardinal High School before high winds and dark skies disrupted the competition. Field events were cut short, but not without some fine efforts from Cardinal sophomore Max Soltis of Cardinal, who took third place in the discus with a heave of 125-1, and his 45-3 effort in the shot put was good for second place. Huskies sprinter Kyle Sinclair ended up in seventh place in the boys 200 meter dash with a 24.70 time. He also ran a 12.48 in the 100 meter dash for 14th place. Cardinal senior Ronee Collins took second in the girls pole vault with a vault of 7-6. Cardinal freshman Ethan Bosch finished up in seventh place in that event with a 12.23 effort.

Faith Matters Blessings Aplenty

Blessings are all around you. Abundant, steady and delivered by the loving hand of God. Do you take any notice of them? The Bible tells us that “From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another.” Sounds like an ever flowing stream of good things from our heavenly Father.

However, you might miss them unless you have the correct vision. It is all too easy to take blessings for granted or even feel like they are just something you deserve. You may even think that they are simply the bi-product of your own efforts. That would be a mistake.

Another issue that can cloud our vision relates to the daily challenges that come our way. Any circum stance we don’t want, we tend write off as just another problem. We view it negatively without allowing ourselves to let God show us how He is working. It seems counterintuitive that something that upsets our agenda or sidetracks our plans could somehow deliver a blessing. Nevertheless, that is God’s promise (see Romans 8:28).

trusted.

Our greatest blessing goes back to the day that Jesus died for us on the Cross. He poured out His love by becoming the perfect sacrifice for our sins. He willingly endured terrible suffering in order to become the source of eternal blessing for you and for me. His resurrection from the dead, then guaranteed His victory. As a result of Easter morning, Christ has now become the very foundation of our hope and a right relationship to God.

By Roger Kruse

It is fascinating to take a deeper look at the response of the two criminals who were also nailed to a cross next to Jesus. The one man hurled insults at Jesus. His bitter heart was without faith toward the Son of God who hung right next to him. How ironic and tragic that He failed to reach out in faith to the very source of his salvation, only a few feet away.

In the book of James, God’s Word reminds us that “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.” We ought to go through the entire day saying, “Thank you, Lord.” If you lack thankfulness in your life, your spiritual perspective is lacking. The eyes of your faith need correction. It requires wisdom to connect the dots from the gifts God has given, back to your own thankful heart.

Honestly, it is just plain refreshing to tally up your blessings. When you do so, your attitude changes and your spirit soars into heavenly places. Your gratitude has the added blessing of strengthening your faith and encouraging you to live in expectation that God is working for good and can surely be

On the other hand, the criminal crucified on the other side recognized the perfect righteousness of Jesus and had faith to ask to be remembered in God’s coming kingdom. “Today,” Jesus assured him, “you will be with me in paradise.” The grim day of his execution became a launchpad into the glorious presence of the living God.

Which response do you line up with? … “To all who receive Him, He gives the right to become a child of God.”

As you gather with family and friends this Easter, make sure your faith recognizes and acknowledges the Savior who daily showers you with His goodness and grace. Let the eyes of your heart be wide open to Him from whom all blessings flow.

Roger Kruse is daily amazed by the goodness of God. The Lord’s many blessings keep him thankful, humble and full of hope.

Ramblings from Windsor

By ruth Byler Windsor

Good morning friends, such a beautiful morning. It’s a brand new week, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I feel 100% news-less. I’ve got 5 minutes to get this out. (I need an hour.) It’s not that I don’t know when the deadline is, I do and very seldomly I amaze myself and have it done on time.

Grandma has her cast off now and is moving around with a boot.

My friend Dora (20) has not been feeling well lately. The results show it’s heart related, (prolonged QT?). She’s still doctoring and not able to work every day, so if you want to send her a line of cheer her address is 5155 Kinsman Road, Middlefield, OH 44062. She’s getting married in August L. W.

Robbie Miller, 18, son of Rop and Erma, has to have major brain surgery. He has Chiari malformation, which causes his brain to sit too low in his head and pushes down on the spinal canal. It’s not something to look forward to.

We had quite a storm on Saturday, took down trees, wires and threw around trampolines and objects like that, that appeared to be in the way. Honestly, I really don’t know how bad the storm was because I was working and couldn’t see it — but I did see the results.

We walked the path back at East Branch on Sunday and saw it also took a line of trees back there.

And then there’s my sister, the one and the only one, who loves using big words she hears, plopping them here and there in sentences, phrases or whatever, not caring if that’s where they fit or not. She came home from school on Friday and said, “It’s horrible, I did a religious crime” Huh, what?, I asked, You did what?

“I did a religious crime,” she repeated. What’s a religious crime?

“I borrowed Grandma’s umbrella this morning and I left it at school. I forgot to bring it home.”

And how is that a religious crime, is there even anything like that?

She replied, “Yeah, because it’s a crime, but it’s not a bad one so that would be a religious crime.”

Haw OK whatever.

Bro Jake finally got his 1,000-piece Ohio State puzzle done. He spent all winter (with the help of others occasionally), but it would have taken me a few years. The pieces were all mostly green, red or black. He glued and put it in a frame he made.

Maple season is over for us here at home. Except for the cleaning up part, it was a pretty good season, I think. Except I made it down to our sugarhouse exactly zero times :( sadly because I didn’t make it a priority. I spent a lot of time at Ogden maple farm; it’s always a lot busier this time of this year.

As I said, I’m very news-less, so I’m going to cut this short instead of boring you. Happy birthday to all of you that had or are having a birthday. Enjoy every minute of spring it’s going to be gone before we know it.

Coffee Breaks with Sue

By susAn yoder middlefeild toWnship

Hello to all readers, Sunny days mixed in with cloudy ones and so the story of our lives.

Reuben, 57-year-old single son of Jake and Sarah (dec.) Yoder recently passed away. I’m sure he is greatly missed by his dad and siblings.

Some of us church ladies recently enjoyed a tea/luncheon at (Dave) Mary Ellen Mullets in honor of Marcia Kuhns’ birthday. It was yummy and much enjoyed.

Sis-in-law Virginia recently hosted a Pampered Chef shower for her future daughterin-law, Nora Yoder. It was consultant Barb Raber’s 1,110th show! She has been at it for 14 years. Remarkable.

Our visiting group recently spent an evening at Neal Schmucker’s. He was diagnosed with COPD and has oxygen on hand. We missed Ray and Judy Miller, and Owen and AnnaMarie Yoder, who were unable to join us.

My cousins’, the Dan C. Bylers, offspring were at my folks (Christ and Barbara) the same evening. We were sorry to miss out. Cousin Betty and Ray Byler also paid a visit recently.

Dad and Mom recently spent a few days in

Lancaster with some “traveler” friends, along with Dave and Martha Fisher, Christ and Susan Miller, and Robert and Emma Stutzman. Their driver was Dorothy Moses, who is in her 80s and still “at it.” Wow!

Al and Linda Frey recently had a near tip over when their horse spooked from loud trucks. Linda, the good wife that she is, stayed put and hung on to the reins while Al unhitched! I probably would’ve “bailed out.”

Henry Frey is doing well from his recent surgery. He had a benign mass removed from this bladder area. Send him cheer at 15769 Madison Road, Middlefield, OH.

Pat McDivitt recently retired from Gold Key. Norm worked with him for 30+ years, including Burton Rubber. He rode with him for many years. We attended his retirement celebration for a few hours, hosted by his sister Denny and Sue Dietrich.

My cousin, Barbara Detwiler (aka Mom’s Diary), now a widow, has her 56th birthday on April 1. Send her happy wishes at 7377 N. Wiswell Road, Windsor, OH 44099.

“In the blink of an eye, everything can change, so forgive everyone and love with all your heart.”

‘Til next time, think on the empty tomb and the risen savior . . . Easter Blessings wished to all.

Mental Health Board Formally Introduces New Director

By BriAn doering BriAn@kArlovecmediA com

The Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services welcomed a new executive director on March 15.

Christine Lakomiak, who was appointed by the board on Feb. 15, began her tenure March 13 after working with the Lake County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board as director of quality and clinical operations for 16 years.

Lakomiak

“I appreciate the opportu nity to serve as the director of the Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services. I’m very familiar with the services that are expected to be provided,” Lakomiak said.

Lakomiak said she informed the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services of her appointment.

“I was excited about their response because I have worked in the field for so long,”

Lakomiak said. “Many of the people that work there already knew me.”

Lakomiak said she looks forward to getting to know the agencies and specific programs in Geauga County.

“I came from Lake County and every county is different,” she said.

“That’s why they have a board in every county in the state of Ohio, so that we can plan very specific things that are needed in each county.”

In other business, board members passed:

• An allocation of in-state opioid and stimulant response project funds in the amount of $399,194 awarded to the county by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services;

• The reimbursement of $12,420 to the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office for costs associated with psychotropic drugs administered to inmates at the Geauga County Safety Center for the first half of 2023;
