He posted the following notice June 19 on the district’s Facebook page:

“Today, we heard the extremely sad news that early this morning, Trent Mooney died in an automo-

Cardinal BOE Appoints Strever

By ann WiShaRt ann@kaRlovecmedia com

When Keith Strever took his seat at the Cardinal Schools Board of Education June 14, he brought with him a background in business and support for the district’s push to educate the next Geauga Coun ty workforce.

He also has the district’s im proving financial position on his radar, he said in a phone interview June 19, adding he has been in volved with the district in several ways.

“I was on the policy committee in 2020, then I was asked to sit on the facilities committee,” he said.

When board member Wendy Anderson announced she was stepping down May 24, Strever’s familiarity with the district led the other four board members to ask him to serve out her term.

“They thought I could bring something to the table,” he said.

Board President Linda Smallwood said in a phone interview the board felt the Parkman Township resident was very qualified for a number of reasons.

“He is a calming influence and he’s well thought-out,” she said. “He has a lot of knowledge in building and maintenance.”

Strever, who joined the U.S. Marine Corps after graduating from high school in North Caroli-

Platform Cement Inc. in Mentor, and Carrie Strever, his wife, owns Carries Trucking Co., which operates out of Middlefield and hauls a lot of dirt, sand and gravel locally, he said.

The couple has six children, ages ranging from 11 to 20, and all attend or graduated from Cardinal Schools. It is one reason Strever became involved in the district, helping guide it through the pandemic in 2020 and recently offering his experience to the facilities committee regarding a variety of projects in the works.

Smallwood said when Anderson let the board and administration know she was leaving for another opportunity, they decided not to advertise for the open seat. The board voted unanimously to

was sworn in by Treasurer Seth Cales, who will be leaving July 7. Terry Armstrong will be taking Cales’ place.

Strever said he plans to run for Anderson’s seat in November.

Long-time board member Katie Thomas likely will not be running for re-election, but Barb Rayburn will have her name on the ballot, Smallwood said.

The board has a number of issues that are being addressed, Strever said. One has to do with the district’s policies during the pandemic.

“During COVID, we lost a lot of Amish enrollment. They’ve been building more schools,” he said.

On the positive side, Strever

Faith Matters The Joy of Generosity

Would you describe yourself as “generous?” Would other people agree with your self-assessment?

If you are more like me, maybe the word “frugal” or “thrifty” would fit better. My wife , however, is definitely generous. She is always sharing, cooking for others and giving away what I might be inclined to keep.

Honestly, I think the happiest, most joyful people are those who have learned to give. They readily share with others and do so without hesitation. That lines up with the words of Jesus, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” That word “blessed” might also be translated “happy” or “to be fully satisfied.” It seems a paradox that our joy is increased and not diminished when we give to others.

to Him to receive what they needed. Except for His prayer times, Jesus was usually available and giving of Himself to others. He understood and experienced the truth that, “A generous man will prosper, and he who refreshes other will himself be refreshed”

(Proverbs 11:25).

By Roger Kruse

On the other hand, some of the unhap piest people are those who hold on to what they have with a tight grip. They don’t want to share, and carefully make sure that no one else gets what they have earned or deserve for themselves. It is a sad situation. A “stingy” person is scrooge-like and fails to discover the joy reserved for those who choose to give.

Recently, I wrote some discipleship training materials to be used in India as well as locally. I identified 12 characteristics of the follower of Jesus that should be evident and at work in his/her life. One characteristic I chose is “generosity.” The generous person is actually like God, because the Lord Himself is very generous. God is always giving. The Bible tells us that every good gift, every blessing in our lives actually comes from our heavenly Father. He is the ultimate Source of all goodness, grace and the benefits we enjoy.

Jesus was constantly giving of Himself to serve the needs of others. He shared Good News, imparted healing and spiritual liberation to those in bondage to sin and the powers of darkness. People were always coming

God’s Word challenges us “to sow generously and not sparingly.” It affirms that the person who sows sparingly will reap sparingly, whereas the individual who sows generously will reap a generous harvest. When you and I supply the needs of others, there is also an overflow of thanksgiving and praise to God. No wonder we are told that “God loves a cheerful giver.”

On the other hand, to give reluctantly or under constraint defeats and undermines the joy of giving. If you and I sow generously, God supplies even more “seed” to enlarge the harvest and increase our potential for generosity (See 2 Corinthians 9).

This morning I received two separate requests from people asking me to give financial help. One is from a poor family in India I have known for many years. Life if very hard for them. The other request came from Kenya. A ministry we have helped in the past is seeking financial aid for a man who nearly died and now needs special care related to his recovery. May God make me generous and wise as I help others.

How about you? The opportunities for giving are all around us and certainly not just financial. Will you grow in generosity and discover the joy promised to all who give cheerfully and liberally to others?

Let’s do it together. You can be sure that God will smile upon us.

Roger Kruse is learning to be generous. He wants to discover more joy by giving and sowing generously into the lives of others.

Ramblings from Windsor

By Ruth ByleR

June 10, Saturday: I had a mini campout with my youngest brother and second youngest sister here at home. Jake and Josh had some boys here camping at the pond.

June 11, Sunday: Oh, the blessed rain. Three weeks without rain, makes you extra grateful to see it pour down. So peaceful and refreshing.

June 12, Monday: How embarrassing to find out yesterday wasn’t Father’s Day after wishing a few people a Happy Father’s Day. :( Lori and I were to Lynda. Can’t believe the wedding is only three weeks away.

June 13, Tuesday: Today was the wedding of Willie Bender and Rebecca Miller. It was a big one and the rain also joined us awhile.

The little boys decided now that Mel can’t go to Canada to hunt bear he can come over here and hunt bears. (They were tired of picking straw-bear-ies) :)

June 14, Wednesday: To everyone that’s asking why I quit writing . . . I didn’t. The Middlefield Post just doesn’t always have room to print my article.

Grandpa had his cauterization done today. All went well.

Happy birthday Tutz Hershberger

June 15, Thursday: For the old folks . . . can you believe it’s 60 years since they started using ZIP Codes? This info comes from my grandma next door.

Mom, Dad and the scholars were to the wedding of Simon Mast and T. Emily Weaver

Strever

from page 1

pointed to the district’s efforts to work with local businesses to give high school students a favorable image of manufacturing and commercial careers. A recent Cardinal Corporate Collaboration event was held to bolster that mission.

And through a variety of new projects, the district has strengthened its fiscal standing.

“I think the board is doing a really good job for the last two years ensuring we are going in the right direction, financially,” Strever said, adding fiscal responsibility needs to be their focus.

Smallwood said she is hoping the shifting

of Orwell.

Enjoying the nice thunderstorm tonight.

June, 14 Friday: The boys that wanted to be in Canada this week came home from their week of fishing.

June 15, Saturday: Rose Miller and I were to the “cutting board” for breakfast. Had a good meal with good service.

Haw my... Mel called around 2 and said their guide let them know they can come next week to hunt bear if they want to. Apparently the fires died down. Of course they are wishing they worked last week instead of fished but... :)

Wayne’s last day at home before moving to Lynda. As much as I like Lyn it’s hard to see him go.

June 16, Sunday: A different, but enjoyable evening. Cousin Becca, Andrew’s Becca and I were hanging out with the — young :) — people ‘til way later than usual, The boys left at 3 to try their luck at hunting.

Willisa Nate was also there as his Tutz is in Maine :)

And this time, it is Father’s Day! A happy one is wished to all, but especially to my Dad, my Grandpa, my Uncles and the dad of my favorite little buddy, KW :)

June 17, Monday: Grandpa’s open heart surgery. As of 9 , he’s still kind of sedated.

June 18, Tuesday: Gramps doing some better hopefully he can be moved out of ICU tomorrow.

Mel, Joe Y, Marlin and Robert Byler all got a bear last night so they were pretty stoked. Til next time. Don’t melt.

of the board and administration can settle down after the election.

“I’d just like some peace for a while,” she said, laughing, and added Strever is a good choice to work toward that goal.

“It helps that we have all worked with him before,” she said. “He shares our vision.” Cardinal Schools is in a position to do what is right for the whole community, Strever said.

“We need a strong school — it’s the backbone of our community,” he said. “I think the most important part of a community is a strong school district, strong businesses second to that and, when we have those two things working together, we can continue to grow as a community that people will gravitate towards.”

Coffee Break with Sue

By SuSan yodeR

A friendly hello to all readers. Mother Earth has really brightened up and grown since our rains, such a blessing! Watering still isn’t like God’s showers from above! We are stilling enjoying strawberries which did surprisingly well.

Mom Yoder passed away on June 14, early morning. She fell on May 9 and rapidly declined after that. Her funeral was held on the 16th. We appreciate everyone that took the time to come to the viewing. It meant a lot. The parting is hard and seems oh, so final! Now to think like grandson Jonny sad when his great-uncle Paul passed,

“Why is everyone sad if he’s in heaven?”

We visited Dad Yoder’s last eve. Son Joey and Martha Kay and family went with us. Sister Susan and her children also joined us. We enjoyed pizza and ice cream. Dad seemed to be adjusting well. Someone stays there nights. His address is 4819 Township Rd. 606, Fredericksburg, OH 44627.

We attended the wedding on Tuesday at Sam Kurtz’s of their daughter Miriam and John Allen, son of Chris and Cora Fisher. It was a big wedding. Miriam had been a teacher, thus bringing school parents and children who sang so nicely at the lunch table. ‘Til next time count your blessings.
