Middlef ield Domen Delivers Decisively in Cardinal Win
Faith Matters

Police Blotter
The Berkshire Badgers and Cardinal Huskies don't need perfect weather to compete in sports. The next-door neighbors get it on anytime they get a chance. Give them nice weather, and you can expect the atmosphere to be electric. In a baseball game May 7, the evenly matched squads played their rivalry to the hilt from the first pitch. There were few mistakes the entire way, but when things came down to the nitty gritty, both teams wanted their top players to be involved in the outcome. On this day, it was Cardinal senior Troy Domen who was the hero, with a seventh-inning single driving home the game-winning run in a hard fought 2-1 Cardinal victory. See Baseball • Page 5

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.
