Daycare Center Repurposes Landmark School in Middlefield

By ann WishaRt ann@KaRlovecmedia.com

All Around Children celebrated the grand opening of its newest child daycare facility in Middlefield Village May 8, giving new life to an old structure.

With seven other centers in the greater Cleveland area, AAC purchased the former Cardinal Schools building on East High Street when the district started consolidating into two buildings.

Last year, the family-owned business began renovating the landmark structure that includes a full gym.

AAC founder Munna Agular said in an interview May 7 the central location of the building made it an ideal spot for working parents to drop off and pick up their children all year around.

Faith Matters Making Your Life Matter

Everyone wants to live a life that matters. That is, we want to know that our life is important, impacts others and won’t soon be forgotten.

Sometimes we get caught up in the mundaneness of everyday life. We go through our daily routines with little sense of purpose. The “same old, same old” becomes so familiar, but lacks a feeling of significance. Probably, not many of us will ever become famous or recognized by lots of people. Nevertheless, deep down we yearn to know that our lives are making a real difference.

Our time on planet earth may be short or long, only God knows. But even if we enjoy a long life, it stills passes by quickly. We move from one chapter of life to the next with a pace that seems to speed up as we get older. When I take my last breath, I want to know my life touched others for good. After all, the Bible teaches that each of us will stand before God and be evaluated.

banks and churches are all in need of volunteers who are willing to offer their time, along with a caring heart.

Perhaps you are a business owner and have the financial means to assist humanitarian efforts among the poor or displaced persons in war torn countries. Communities hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, fires and other hardships offer unlimited opportunities to give, reach out and help. A phone call or an email of inquiry could link you to new avenues of service that will open live-changing possibilities to invest yourself in the lives of others.

By Roger Kruse

Through the years, my wife and I have often taken meals to a neighbor, visited local nursing homes and the City Mission, coached athletic teams, helped with vacation Bible schools, organized play groups for neighborhood moms, community 5K races and delivered meals to families in crises.

Even as followers of Jesus, who have been forgiven and saved by grace, our lives will be reviewed and rewarded according to how we lived and served. Did we live selfishly only to please ourselves? Did we use our God-given gifts and resources to help and serve others or simply to pursue a self-centered agenda?

People who leave a legacy are those who sought to make this world a better place. They recognize we are surrounded by needy people and situations that cry out for our help. It could be a senior citizen in need of assistance or just a visit. It might be a family with a special needs child who would be blessed by your willingness to show love and practical help. Local schools, hospitals, food

There is no magic formula in making your life a blessing to others. It starts with making yourself available and finding ways to serve.

One day, the disciples of Jesus were arguing about who would be the greatest in the coming kingdom of God. They were thinking about having position, privilege and recognition. However, Jesus taught that greatness is wrapped up in one’s willingness to serve. He said, “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45).

To make your life matter, pursue the path that Jesus took. Discover the joy of serving others.

Roger Kruse desires to become more like Jesus. “A student who is fully trained, will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40)

OCDA Treble Honor Choir

Baseball from page 1

Domen has had a senior year for the ages with the Huskies in every sport he has played. As the end of his high school career approaches, memories abound, but this one will stand near the top.

"I just appreciate so much how great if felt to get the winning hit today," he said. "I've been blessed so much in high school, though, it's tough to pick out one special moment for me. As I look back, I think maybe beating Berkshire in their gym in my sophomore year, when Ty O'Brien hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, might be my biggest moment, but today sure did feel good as well.”

Both teams scored in the third inning , taking advantage of miscues from their opponents. For the Badgers, Sam Barcikoski took a pitch in the foot to get on base. A wild pitch sent him to second, and with one out, a liner to center (that the left-fielder made a fine catch on) allowed him to reach third.

The second and final miscue of the day from Huskies pitcher Jackson Puruczky, a balk, sent Barcikoski home with the only run of the day for Berkshire (12-7).

In the Cardinal (10-11) third, with one out, Blake Strever sent a screaming line drive down the right field line for a double. Another strikeout later, it looked like pitcher Patrick Brancel might escape further problems. A high chopper up the middle looked to be close, but an errant throw let Chuck Soltis to reach safely, and Strever raced home from third as the throw was chased down the right field line.

Both teams had minor threats from then on, until the Huskies loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh to win the game. An infield chopper down the third base line and errant throw to first put a runner on second.

After a strikeout, Reese Soltis took a pitch in the shoulder, and Chuck Soltis sent a liner into left for another single, but the ball was hit so sharply, the runner from third had to play it safe.

and VMC Club coordinator for EAA Chapter 5, as well as being a FAASTeam service provider.

He takes his role as an aviation ambassador on the road to local schools, Rotary Clubs and other organizations, according to a May 8 NAFI news release.

A timeout called by Berkshire Head Coach Nick Burzanko led to a conference on the mound to set up the defense with one out and the bags juiced, but Domen spoiled the day, as would be expected from the opponents' top player.

"We've been kind of sluggish lately," Coach Burzanko said. "I'm not really sure what to say about this one.

“We could have clinched a share of the CVC Valley today with a win, and we didn't get it done. Couple errors hurt, we didn't get the big hits like usual, and we came up short."

Berkshire did hit the ball well. Puruczky allowed only five hits, including three to Jack Hastings, but a key factor was that he only went to three balls on a single hitter and fanned three as well.

The Huskies made no errors, and that always helps.

Chuck Soltis and Domen each had a pair of hits for the Huskies as they rapped out nine safeties total.

They found holes when they hit the ball, too, as Brancel was tough with his breaking pitches in fanning 12, also allowing just a single hitter to reach a three ball count.

Cardinal Head Coach Dan Wolf knew his team needed to be “all in” to win the game, and that's how it played out.

"Jackson (Puruczky) has been rock solid for us all season pitching, as has Troy, so we think we have as good a 1-2 punch on the mound to compete with anybody," Coach Wolf said. "It is just a matter of playing good defense, getting timely hits at timely opportunities, and the kids have really worked hard all season to get things done.

“This is always a big game, so you have to be ready, and we never backed down when we made mistakes. Today there weren't too many, too, which is always a good thing."

As tourney time approaches, both teams have solid cores that could lead to long runs. Special and routine plays will make the difference, and both squads can say a lot about the quality they bring to the diamond each time out.

Blamer holds CFI, CFII, AGI, and IGI instructor certifications; ASEL, ASES and Part 107 pilot certificates, the release stated. He also started the Geauga Aviators flying club, which has grown to 15 members and is looking to add one or two more aircraft.

Recently, Blamer was instrumental in forming the Geauga Aviation Foundation. Its mission is to promote aviation and provide a connection to the non-flying community through educational programs.

Middlefield had been on the AAC radar for some time.

“Putting up a new building would have been easier, but it made sense to repurpose this one. It serves the community better to repurpose it,” said Munna’s son, Hersh Agular.

Its proximity to the district’s elementary school and convenience for the local and commuting workforce made the spacious school a good choice, he said.

Renovating it to fit AAC’s purpose was more complicated, but considerably less expensive than building a new center, Munna said.

AAC provides childcare for infants and toddlers, and instruction for those in preschool and pre-kindergarten, as well as before and after school care for children up to 12 years old, Munna said.

“We expect to hire 200 more next year,” Munna said, noting the Strongsville AAC, which has 250 children enrolled, has a waiting list of parents wanting to sign up their children.

AAC did not spring into being overnight.

Hersh said his father was doing cancer research at Case Western Reserve University and involved in building homes in the Solon area when the Recession began in 2008. When the dust settled, his parents owned a childcare center.

“They took over the business and learned from scratch,” he said, adding the couple did everything from marketing to hiring to emptying the trash, but the center made money.

“We went from 23 to 117 children in one year,” Munna said. “It made us more financially viable and opened more doors.”

He credited long-time associate Dennis Pfinniger, of Burton, with overseeing the renovation of the school.

“He found me this building,” Munna said.

“Dennis has been with me for 26 years.”

AAC has moved the operation from the former Parkman Elementary School to Middlefield because they anticipate needing more space and because the location was out of the way for most commuters.

“We need to be convenient. Parents don’t want to drive 20 minutes out of the way,” Hersh said.

Middlefield Mayor Ben Garlich welcomed AAC during the ribbon cutting.

“The building they purchased is a prominent building in our village,” he said in a follow-up text. “You often see these buildings left vacant and go into disrepair and become a liability for the community. We are fortunate. Not only is the building not falling into that category, but, instead, has had value added, not only physically, but by providing a service that also brings value to our residents and employers.”
