Members of the West Geauga boys cross country, which qualified for the OHSAA State Meet for the first time in school history. “They are a true testament to what you can accomplish with hard work, dedication and self-determination,” said Head Coach John Boylan.
West Geauga Boys X-Country Makes History By Jason Baxter sports@geaugamapleleaf.com The West Geauga Boys Cross Country team made a successful run to the OHSAA State Cross Country Meet Nov. 6, making history as the first West Geauga cross country team to advance to the state meet in school history. The Wolverines narrowly missed the State Meet in 2020, finishing in seventh place as a team at the Boardman Regional
Meet. The team was 14 points out of qualification. “Since missing the State Meet last year by one place this team has had one goal — to qualify,” Head Coach John Boylan said. “I have always said the most important words in cross country are June, July and August. This team listened.” He added: “They worked hard, they trained hard, and they pushed each other. During the
season they continued to push and support each other. They ran as a team — they ran as a pack of wolverines.” The high school postseason is a long four-week push with deteriorating weather conditions. Peaking at the perfect time is crucial. The Wolverines, who won or finished as runner-up in all eight regular season meets kept up the success in the postseason. They See X-Country • Page 5
Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary Seeks Donations for Animal Surgery Staff Report Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary is reaching out to the community for donations to help with a surgery for one of its senior cats named Liam. The surgery will remove a small tumor from his neck to prevent serious future health issues and while under anesthesia, he will also undergo a dental procedure, said Happy Tails volunteer Doreen Lazarus. “He is expected to fully recover and then be available for adoption,” he said, adding his brother, Yossi, who looks similar, is already adoptable.
Happy Tails President Tom Vasko reported that for the second consecutive year, donations to the mostly cage-less, no-kill cat sanctuary have decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
so financial contributions to help with Liam’s upcoming surgery, as well as with considerable ongoing expenses at the sanctuary, would be greatly appreciated. Tax-deductible donations can either be transmitted via PayPal at www.HappyTailsCatSanctuary.org or a check or money order can be mailed to: Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary, P.O. Box 581, Chesterland, OH 44026. For more information or questions, call or text Lazarus at 440-759-0076 or send an email to HappyTailsCatSanctuary@gmail.com.

Denise C. Hall
Denise C. Hall, 71, of Chesterland, passed away Nov. 17, 2021, at Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights. She had been hospitalized since mid-September with a variety of medical issues. She fought with determination, but ultimately lost the strength to continue and died quickly and peacefully. Denise was a loving, kind and generous wife, mother and friend to her husband of 46 years, Charles (Chuck) Hall; their children Stephen Hall, of Chesterland, Brian Hall, of Lyndurst, and Melissa (Emily McPherson) Hall, of Rochester, N.Y.; and to many friends she had developed in her 45 years in Northeast Ohio, especially through her service as a highly professional and dedicated realtor over the last 40-plus years. Denise was raised in Meriden, Conn., the daughter of Peter and Coranna (nee Paradis) Cloutier. In 1975, she was living in Burlington, Vt., while working on her master’s degree at the University of Vermont, after having completed her undergraduate work at St. Michael’s College in Burlington. That year, she met her future husband, Chuck Hall. They were engaged on their way back from a Stanley Cup playoff game in Montreal, Canada, and were married in October 1975. They moved to Cleveland Heights, in 1976, and then to Chesterland in 1978, where they resided until her death. Their love of hockey was inherited by their children and Denise and Chuck spent many wonderful hours with their kids traveling to hockey games throughout the Midwest and Canada. She also was dedicated to insuring that family traditions were established and maintained, especially during her favorite holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Denise especially enjoyed lavishing gifts on all of her family members, often covering the entire floor of the family room with presents at Christmas. Denise was also a very spiritual person, which she believed she inherited from her father’s mother who was a Seneca medicine woman. Denise was a Reiki master and was constantly exploring alternative means to assist family members, friends and people she didn’t know to overcome medical and spiritual issues. Denise was loved by many. Chuck and the children will be having a private memorial service and will schedule a memorial gathering in the near future. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Save a Warrior, P.O. Box 218117, Columbus, OH 43221; or the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland, 6705 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH 44102.

won regular season meets, including Riverside, George Gross Invitational, Medina Milt Place Festival and the Avon Lake Earlybird. “Almost every week the team brought home hardware, and many of the runners also brought home hardware,” Boylan said. “With each week the team and members of the top 7 gained the confidence that they could and would be running in November. We adopted a saying: We are bulletproof and 10feet tall. We can do anything — and we did!” They started with a 2nd place finish in the CVC Chagrin Meet behind Hawken. Led by Kearns (3rd place) and Dienes (4th place), the team then followed that up with a 2nd place finish at the Div. II Madison District and 5th at the Boardman Regional to advance to their first-ever state meet. “Qualifying for the State meet has always been a team goal each year but for the last couple of years it has been an attainable goal,” Boylan said. “The 2021 team made it a reality. I was so proud of this team.” The Wolverines would finish in 19th place
at the State Meet with four runners finishing in the top-100 (in a field of 180). They were led by junior Daniel Kearns, who finished in 53rd place. And sophomore Matt Dienes in 74th place. The state qualifying team included juniors Grant Congdon, John Mikes and Chris Whiting. The qualifying team also had two seniors, including Dakota Deets and Lorenzo Linek. Boylan said Linek was the leader of this team. Linek was the team captain who kept the team focused. Linek was one four returning runners that ran in 2020 at regional meet along with Whiting, Mikes and Congdon. Kearns and Matt Dienes were recently named the Most Valuable Runners at this year’s banquet. They had a memorable season according to Boylan. “They are a true testament to what you can accomplish with hard work, dedication and self-determination.” West Geauga will return five runners alone from the state qualifying team including Kearns and Dienes, meaning the Wolverines will be right in the mix again to make a return trip to Columbus.

Being Properly Informed: The Truth about Surgery, MRIs and X-Rays for Back, Joint Pain By Dr. Adam Cramer, DPT I meet many people in our community who come to me with x-ray or MRI results from a orthopedic surgeon and a laundry list of diagnoses that often have little to do with their symptoms. I want to shed some light on how significant these results actually are to help you become better informed to avoid being manipulated by results and from being driven by fear into inappropriate testing and poor outcomes. Let’s clarify some things to help you save time, money, stress and to get you effective treatment more quickly. MRIs and other imaging advancements are very valuable in diagnosing, treating, monitoring, and managing numerous diseases. They have improved medical knowledge and interventions. They are absolutely necessary in many instances. However, it may surprise you to learn that Medical guidelines “strongly” discourage the use of MRI and X-ray in diagnosing low back pain, because they produce so many false alarms. Ever wonder why surgeons and physicians may say “we won’t know fully until we get in there” despite the fact we have this awesome imaging? Well, interpreting imaging can be complicated. Even though we have this amazing technology, it is still difficult to determine with 100% certainty what an image shows. When it is read appropriately and there are very clear positive findings that even a layman could identify (i.e. a big ol’ disc bulge)? Does that mean we’ve identified the cause of the pain? Unfortunately, no. “Positive” findings on an MRI are extremely common, to the point where they aren’t significant in diagnosing the cause of the back pain and joint pain. If you took a random group of people who felt great, with no back pain whatsoever, and made them get an MRI just for kicks, well over half of these pain-free people would have “positive” findings. Just having a “disc bulge”, “disc protrusion”, “degenerative disc”, “ cartilage degeneration”, “joint space narrowing” and other “positive” finding on an MRI does not mean this is the cause of your symptoms and pain. This is even more true with each passing decade of life. The likelihood there will be a “positive” result on your MRI increases as you age, regardless of symptoms. Knowing this, the worst thing I’ve seen people do is get an MRI because of their back and joint pain receive the impression from the doc that they have “bone on bone joint”, “facet degeneration, degenerative disc disease, bone spurring, etcetera” and assume they are broken and that’s that, they will have back and knee/hip problems forever. Absolutely not! The findings on imaging do not always correlate with symptoms, and it doesn’t do you any good to make back and joint pain pathology a part of your identity. Embracing the idea that “there is something mechanically wrong with your back and joints” can lead to fear of movement, a hypersensitive nervous system, balance deficits and chronic

pain. This will lead you to not moving at all due to fear of “making things worse” when the reality is if you don’t move it dramatically makes your symptoms worse. Any physician who says “physical therapy will only make it worse” has no ideal what they are talking about and are not aware of the abundance of medical evidence supporting physical therapy first approach for back pain and joint pain. Getting injections, nerve blocks, immobilization boots and avoiding your mobility is what will make things worse! These providers, which included orthopedic surgeons, primary care physicians, podiatrist and pain management doctors, have never made anyone walk again, use their shoulder again or return them to sport/work before. They are not trained to do so. If you are having difficulty walking because of pain then why consult with a medical provider who is not trained to help you walk again? Physical therapists will not “fear” you into making uninformed decisions regarding your health but will inform you properly on your diagnosis so YOU can make the best educated decision for what’s best for yourself. A physical therapist will diagnose you properly based on your functional limitation and work with you directly on improving that limitation returning you to your normal mobility. The physical therapy profession is designed to teach and inform you on what is really happening with your body, physical therapists have the time to do, not just a 15 minute consult and then next thing you know you are carted away for surgery. You will spend on average 2-3 hours/wk for 4-6 weeks with a physical therapist learning about your body and getting treatment at the same time. The human body has not changed for thousands of years, your muscles, spine and joints did not get here overnight and it will not improve overnight. It takes consistency, dedication and willingness to be informed properly and in doing so you will have success. Your body and health are worth it and you owe it to yourself. So, I encourage you to seek care from a independent Doctor of Physical Therapy at MyoFit Clinic where there is no conflict of interest and who can work with you to treat you as an individual, addressing your injury and symptoms, and not solely treat your imaging findings. If you don’t want surgery don’t see a provider that offers surgery, see a physical therapist that accepts in-network insurance benefits which will enable you to receive the highest quality care to help you avoid surgery and help return you to normal pain free, this is what MyoFit Clinic offers you. Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT, is a licensed physical therapist, pain specialist and founder CEO of MyoFit Clinics in Chardon, Ashtabula & Middlefield, Ohio. Call 440-2861007 for a consultation to avoid orthopedic surgery. MyoFitClinic.com talapat was appointed to fill an open term on the BZA and Eric Wittine was appointed to serve as BZA alternate.

After receiving a fraudulent loan in his own name, Bearden recruited a purported third-party borrower only to use that party’s information to obtain a $12,300 loan issued not to the third-party’s account but to his own account. In another instance, Bearden obtained a $34,800 loan for another third-party in exchange for a $6,000 kickback. One federal prosecutor in New York called the EIDL grants “catnip for criminals” because they required little documentation from an applicant and were deposited into an applicant’s bank account within three days.
