Cat Sanctuary Celebrates 40 Years of Saving Felines By Grace Hare editor@karlovecmedia.com Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary has spent the last four decades saving the lives of and providing a shelter for numerous felines and is hosting an event April 9 in Chester Township to celebrate. The nonprofit organization was formed by Jeanne Bones, who volunteers call “an incredible, cat-loving lady.” Bones opened Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary in 1982 after she noticed many stray cats around her area in need. Current sanctuary president, Tom Vasko, said Bones wanted to help these struggling cats in need and decided her home would be the perfect place to open a shelter. “What began as just a dream became a wonderful reality as she began to rescue strays,” Vasko said in a recent interview. The organization takes in elderly and “special needs” cats, some of whom are adoptable and others who will live out their lives at the sanctuary, he said. Soon after opening, the shelter experienced an influx of people bringing cats to Bones, or just leaving them on her property, so she decided to build “cat-friendly” buildings on the several acres of land on her property. Vasko said Bones had worked tirelessly in her endeavors to support the cats and as a result, word got out about the organization and people started reaching out to volunteer. “A cadre of volunteers formed to help Bones with the monumental task of running the sanctuary which is ‘no-kill’ and a nonprofit,” he said, adding it was officially designated a nonprofit in 2005 and held its first

fundraiser in October of that same year. As successful as it has been, the sanctuary has also experienced hardships. In 2010, a fire, due to a faulty electrical connection, destroyed Bones’ home and because of smoke inhalation, three cats passed away. Despite the devastation, Bones’ spirit was never broken, Vasko said. “She built back better, Bones would not be defeated,” he said. “She continued to run Happy Tails and any money she received was put into sustaining the organization.” Bones passed away on Thanksgiving Day in 2015, however, her legacy lived on through her determined volunteers and Vasko.
Doreen Lazarus, a volunteer at the organization, described the years following Bones’ passing. “For the next few years, with the exception of only one day due to a fierce winter storm, at least one volunteer would come to the sanctuary every day to give fresh food and water to the cats, scoop litter boxes, sweep and vacuum the floors and give medicine if needed,” said Lazarus. After Bones’ family sold her property that housed the organization, some of the cats were relocated to the Cats’ Inn Grooming and Boarding on Kinsman Road in Newbury Township, while the majority of the cats were placed into foster homes.

Glass Recycling is Coming to Chester By Valerie S. Clause editor@karlovecmedia.com
The Chester Township recycling center will begin offering a dedicated glass recycling option with a pilot program slated to begin at the end of March. This will bring glass recycling to its fullest potential instead of grouping it in with other recyclables, according the Kiwanis Club of West Geauga. Ken Mantey, of the Kiwanis Club of West Geauga, appealed to the Chester Township Trustees March 10 during their regular meeting for their support these efforts. “Glass recycling has been on again, off again and we’ve been looking for somewhere to take the glass,” Mantey said. He explained the value of glass recycling by describing glass as being pure in that it can be chopped and ground up to make new glass again and again. Plastics can only be recycled a limited number of times and they must be made into something different from the original form or use. “Glass is 100 percent recyclable and it should not be used as landfill cover, as it has been since 2019,” Mantey said. With the pilot program, between four-tosix wheeled carts will be clearly marked as designated for glass at the recycling center, located on state Route 306 just north of the town center. Glass will be picked up once a week by Repeat Glass, a Cleveland-based glass recycling vendor, he said, adding the pilot program will run through the end of 2022. Mantey also received approval from the board to apply for a grant to build a recycling shed at the center. If awarded the grant monies, the shed will serve as a center to break down and store cardboard boxes that can be reused by others in the community, such as
when boxes are needed for packing or moving. Trustees, Mantey and members of the community have lamented there has been ongoing frustration with the recycling bins not being used appropriately. Some using the bins do not follow the rules regarding what can be recycled, resulting in what appears to be a dumping of unwanted items ‚ whether recyclable at the site or not. To assist in eliminating the misuse of the recycling center, the township will be installing cameras from grant monies available through the Geauga Trumbull Solid Waste Management District. The cameras will allow the township to identify those not using the recycling center appropriately. In other township business, Anthony Peto of the Chester Township Zoning Commission, reported they are working on modifications to land specifications related to accessory buildings. Peto said zoning related to accessory buildings makes up their biggest number of complaints and the commission has researched what other local communities have put in place regarding best practices related to accessory buildings. They have created a matrix showing requirements for various property sizes and allowances that will be presented to the board for consideration soon. The board opened bids received for the furnishing and delivery of various road materials for the township. These were passed on to the road superintendent for review and recommendations at a later meeting. Board members and Fiscal Officer Patricia Jarrett reviewed the 2022 proposed budget line-by-line, with adjustments made for anticipated projects, while closing out other projects that have been resolved.

West Geauga Educational Foundation members present an $18,400 check in grant funding to West Geauga High School teacher Alan Duncan.
WGEF Awards $18,400 Grant Submitted Students in Alan Duncan’s West Geauga High School robotics classes will soon be able to build, program and operate drones thanks to an $18,400 grant from the West Geauga Educational Foundation (WGEF). WGEF is an independent nonprofit group that raises funds to support innovative approaches to teaching and learning in the West Geauga School System. Teaching and learning, like other areas, evolve. But it isn’t always clear which new approaches might work. “Seed” funding from WGEF allows teachers and students to try new programs, materials and technologies. Twice during the school year – in November and February - WGEF reviews applications from teachers, administrators, students and parents to determine which programs to fund that will enrich and enhance educational experiences for West Geauga students. Over the past 37 years, the foundation has provided more than $500,000 in funds to support educational programs. With this grant, the robotics program will provide students with the opportunity to learn electronic/circuit design and construction, coding, engineering and operation of both land and air drones. Students
will design and modify the drone kits using the 3D printers purchased previously from a grant provided by the West Geauga Educational Foundation. The students will be able to practice flying indoors by streaming any location around the world on the Touch IT TV, also provided by a WGEF grant. Real time telemetry data is collected and can be tracked to give the most realistic virtual experience possible. Students will also have the opportunity to test and obtain FAA certification, which means they could be hired to operate drones right out of high school. Other programs the foundation has funded over the past few years include: 3D and CAD Project, Google Virtual Field Trips, Aquaponics Global Food Production, Elementary Robotics and Coding, Café Achieve, Great Lakes Theater School Residency, Lifeliqe Interactive Science Application, STEAM / Makerspace program, the IXL Online Learning Tool, StarLab Planetarium, live streaming equipment for WGMS athletics and many more.

Reinventing the Dining Experience at Coppia
By Valerie S. Clause editor@karlovecmedia.com A fresh and eclectic dining experience is blossoming in Chester Township this spring, as the restaurant formerly known as Sapore transitions to a fully re-named and re-imagined Coppia. The building, tucked away just east of the Chester town center, is deceiving on the outside, looking like it might be someone’s home. And in a way it is — as chefs Talia Trovato and Hedy Pastran invite guests into their vision of an unforgettable dining experience. “We want our guests to feel at home,” said Trovato. ”It’s about an experience. We want you to feel like royalty.” “It’s an intimate space — familiar and cozy,” Pastran added. At Coppia, guests will experience the culinary creations of chefs who have worked at a Five-Diamond and Five-Star award winning restaurant. Trovato and Pastran met when working at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. It’s there they started dreaming of having their own restaurant and what that might look like. “The Disney traditions are so instilled, and we are making magic happen here,” Pastran said. “Yes, this is a modern dining experience — emotionally inspired,” Trovato added. For Trovato, opening Coppia is a return to home. She grew up on Cleveland’s east side with Italian family traditions. After earning a degree in biology from Ursuline College, she realized her passion was cooking and the science of food. Trovato pursued that interest by attending the International Culinary Arts and Sciences Institute in Chester, where she received an advanced degree in culinary arts. Pastran — born in Caracas, Venezuela, and growing up in Puerto Rico — began her culinary pursuits started in high school, where she participated in a culinary program. She went on to the Orlando Culinary Academy and concluded that training at Les Chefs De France in the World Showcase Pavilion at Epcot, Walt Disney World. Pastran then headed fine dining at Tavistock’s Isleworth Golf and Country Club before returning to a Disney Signature Restaurant, Citricos. When dining out themselves or looking at classic dishes, Trovato and Pastran are always brainstorming on how to put their own
signature on a plate. “We look at how to make it our own,” Pastran said. “How could we showcase ourselves in this? Our flavors are from the world — it’s like a playground of different flavors.” Coppia will feature a seasonally changing menu, as the chefs pair fresh ideas with seasonally sourced food choices. Trovato and Pastran also enjoy brainstorming creative names for Coppia’s menu. These efforts are reflected in the spring menu, which is currently being rolled out. “The spring menu is really taking us a step closer as to where we want to be as chefs,” Trovato said. Guests can enjoy selections such as An Afternoon in Maracay, which is Pastran’s twist on Arepitas with Romano cream, carrot slaw and chili oil, or scallops with cucumber, a corn bread sponge and beech mushrooms, named In the Clear Water. Coppia features several pasta dishes along with hearty meaty dishes. They include their Steak Bravo, with baby zucchini, farro, cachaca glazed carrots and steak sauce; The Duke, a New Zealand lamb rack with asparagus, artichoke spread and chermoula; and Duck Duck Goose, with pink peppercorn and thyme marinated duck breast, confit and fois gras. For dessert, guests can sample Wildflower Wine, which is a whipped honey tart with honeycomb candy; Tea and the Times, a lavender and tea cheesecake with Chantilly cream; or Off to the Races, a simple mint and bourbon ice cream. Menu choices always include vegetarian and gluten-free options and all pastas, breads and desserts are made in-house. In addition to being open for dining, Trovato and Pastran said they can host private events at Coppia with the menu tailored to the customer’s requests. “We will discuss menu items with you and come up with a special menu for each event,” Trovato said. “We can do something different from our dinner service.” Guests can also watch for special events, such as a chef’s table wine-pairing dinner and Easter brunch. Coppia is located at 8623 Mayfield Road in Chester Township. Reservations are accepted by phone at 440-688-4480.

Stop Neck Pain and Avoid Surgery By Dr. Adam M. Cramer Neck pain, whether from a motor vehicle accident, sleeping on it wrong or from lifting too much weight, can lead to chronic deficits limiting your quality-of-life and function. It is important to see a licensed doctor of physical therapy FIRST to assess your symptoms and movement limitations evaluating how your body is compensat- Cramer ing for the neck pain. We see a lot of of our community get misdiagnosed based on their symptoms and not their functional movement limitations, which result in invasive procedures including surgery and nerve blocks. If you don’t want surgery don’t consult with a surgeon and if you want to be treated in an environment where there’s no conflict of interest see a independent physical therapy practice first vs a physician owned practice where surgery is prioritized.
Causes of neck pain are clear
Besides traumatic injury such as a car accident, poor posture is a major problem for many who develop neck pain. If you lean your head and shoulders forward constantly instead of sitting/standing up straight, sooner or later your neck is going to start paining. Poor posture places your neck and upper back in a significant mechanical disadvantage and the surrounding muscles, if not strong enough, muscles will strain, get tighter and create painful muscle spasms that can lead to years of chronic pain.
Best treatment for neck pain
By seeing a doctor of physical therapy first they are able to fully evaluate your neck pain, find the root source, identify limitations
and work at improving on those limitations by providing fast acting pain relieving techniques such as hands-on manual therapy, massage, dry needling, trigger point release and moist heat which will help the surrounding strained muscles “let go“ in order to alleviate the limited movement surrounding nerves and joints. You will be taught exactly how to reduce your pain through simple effective techniques to mimic the mobility treatment performed by your doctor of physical therapy so you can reduce your own pain right when you need it the most. Never let any provider adjust or manipulate your neck. The cervical vertebrae and joints are not necessarily the problem, it’s the muscles surrounding the vertebrae that restrict joint movement causing painful symptoms. If you have a problem with movement focus on the structures that make you move (muscles) and you will move better.
Working to keep neck pain controlled
Like anything else, prevention of neck pain is desired even more than finding ways to treat yourself once it has occurred. Be sure that you are not sitting excessively far forward, backward, to the left or to the right for a prolonged period of time, this will place excessive stress on the opposite neck muscle group excessively activating that muscle which will ultimately fatigue then start straining and causing pain. Be sure to moderate your sitting positions alternating between them. If you or a loved one is suffering from neck pain please consult with a Doctor of Physical Therapy at MyoFit Clinic immediately so you you don’t receive the wrong diagnosis and treatment which can lead to unnecessary orthopedic surgery. Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT, is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, MyoFitClinic.com Call 440-286-1007 for help with your pain.
