SUBMITTED
Among the adoptable cats at the Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary is male “jumbo senior” Domino, 10.
Happy Tails Fundraiser Set for July 17 Staff Report Geauga County cat lovers would ensure continued care for residents of Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary at Cat’s Inn in Newbury Township by purchasing tickets for the Summer Feline Fundraiser July 17. Proceeds from the event, to be held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 752 Water Street in Chardon, are especially necessary in light of the last year, said sanctuary President Tom Vasko. “The event will provide muchneed assistance for the care of Happy Tails’ cats, many of whom are old, have special needs or both. Due to COVID, contributions have decreased, but expenses remain for general sheltering, veterinary care, etc.,” he said. Long-time sanctuary supporter Doreen Lazarus said besides those sheltered at Cat’s Inn, there are about 50 being fostered at homes in and around Geauga County. Registration will begin at 4:30 p.m. July 17 and the event runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with overflow parking available across the street at Sage’s Apples. Tickets for the fundraiser are $35.

Newbury Township Trustees submitted a proposal June 14 to acquire the approximately 39 acres containing the former Newbury Schools buildings from the West Geauga Schools Board of Education. The West Geauga school board had acquired the real estate as part of the June 30, 2020, school district transfer of Newbury Schools into West Geauga Schools. The township trustees’ proposal was in response to a May 28, 2021, request for a proposal from West Geauga Schools. Board Chairman and Trustee William Skomrock appointed a five-member task force in July 2020 to gather information about the property and make recommendations to trustees about the feasibility of acquiring the property for a community center. The task force has met more than 30 times since July 2020 and has researched demand for rental space, historic operating expense, demolition and construction costs, and operations of similar former school buildings owned by municipalities in nearby communities. The property consists of the former high school and elementary school buildings, athletic fields, parking lots, playground area and an outdoor laboratory located in a wetland area in the southeast corner of the property. The improvements to the property were made at various times, ranging from the construction of the original part of the high school in 1928 to the football/soccer stands erected in 2018. The task force has discussed a number of possibilities for development of the property, including

Newbury Township Trustees recently submitted a proposal to West Geauga Schools Board of Education to acquire the approximately 39 acres containing the former Newbury Schools buildings. The West Geauga school board acknowledged the proposal at its June 28 meeting, went into executive session and adjourned the meeting without taking any action.
retention, partial demolition or full demolition of the existing high school building. Each scenario carries its own set of construction costs, operating costs and resulting benefits. “The acquisition of this property is a unique opportunity for Newbury residents to control management and development of this 39-acre property, which is adjacent to Newbury’s 88-acre Oberland Park,” Skomrock said in a June 24 news release. “While much has been accomplished in the past 12 months, more research is needed.” In order for this acquisition to take place, Skomrock said the township would need to: • Complete research on construction and operating costs, • Complete negotiations and come to an agreement with West Geauga Schools, • Obtain approval of Newbury voters for any ballot issue to support the operation of the property.
West Geauga school board members have indicated they would like to dispose of the property and they have two options for disposal: transfer to another governmental entity or a public auction. “A public auction would mean the property would be in private hands and the residents of Newbury would lose the opportunity to have any input over its future use,” the news release stated. Skomrock said interested parties can follow future developments on this acquisition by attending weekly task force meetings Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. at Newbury Township Hall or attending trustees meetings on the first and third Wednesdays in the township hall at 7 p.m. Those interested can attend the meetings in person or via Zoom. “Please consult the township’s website for links to Zoom and for See Newbury • Page 3

Obituaries Raymond Bernard Suing
Raymond Bernard Suing was born Sept. 16, 1936, in Cleveland, son of the late Bernard and Rosa (nee Kluber) Suing. Raymond grew up on E. 89th Street and later moved to Cleveland Heights. He graduated from Benedictine High School and then spent time in postwar Korea as a powerman in the U.S. Army. After discharge, he went to trade school to become an electrician and was admitted to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 38. He worked for Herbst Electric Company for his entire career. He met Suzanne Babic at a Newman Club “Beer Bash,” where they shared their mutual disinterest in drinking beer. They married on July 2, 1966, celebrating 52 years of marriage before Suzanne passed away in 2017. Together, Ray and Sue raised five children: Elizabeth, Brian, Annette, Steve and Eric. They had seven grandchildren: Katrina, Bridget, Jack, Ayda, Alexander, Julianna and Emma. Ray’s family also included his sister, Rose Marie; cousins, Henry and Emma Kallage, Gary and Maria Stannek; Aunt Beade and Uncle Joe Montagna and family; and Suzanne’s family, including his brother-in-law, Terry Babic, and wife Kathy. In addition to spending time with family, Ray was a decades-long member of the Geauga Amateur Radio Association, broadcasting as N8EQT. He even designed their current raccoon logo. He enjoyed listening to music, particularly polka and bluegrass, and he dabbled in playing the buttonbox. He was a skilled craftsman, having built a house for his mother, a barn and furniture for his wife, an oversized swing set for his children and a 4-foot marble tower toy for his grandchildren. Ray had a great sense of humor and a youthful demeanor his whole life. Every year he took his kids to haunted houses, beaches and amusement parks. He would “spin donuts” in the parking lot and catch air time on a particular bump on Butternut Road, to the delight of his children and the feigned horror of his mother-in-law. When he retired, he rode his mountain bike at North Chagrin Reservation. He would go on roller coasters and thrill rides at Cedar Point while on a $20 senior citizen’s ticket. He defied the odds by living with multiple myeloma 8 times longer than his original prognosis. He was rarely seen without a baseball cap on
his head, and without a smile and a hug. Ray was a devoted, kind and loving son, husband, father, grandfather and friend. We will always remember and miss him. Friends called at Gattozzi and Son Funeral Home, 12524 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township, July 1, 2021. Mass of Christian Burial was held July 2, 2021, at Divine Word Catholic Church, 8100 Eagle Road, Kirtland. Interment All Souls Cemetery in Chardon Township. Memorial contributions in Raymond’s name may be made to The International Myeloma Foundation at www.myeloma.org. Online tribute video and condolences at www.gattozziandson.com.

Shoulder Pain? Physical Therapy is Best Option to Avoid Orthopedic Surgery By Dr. Adam Cramer, DPT Of all the joints in your body, the shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion. Our shoulders sustain sprains and strains, dislocations, tendinitis, torn rotator cuffs, bursitis, frozen shoulder, fractures, arthritis and a host of other injuries and conditions. Because it is such a mobile joint, you can hurt it in falls, when you strain to try to reach something, when you lift something heavy, and even when you throw a ball or play a game. Sometimes it be-come injured and painful just from a gradual irritation or deterioration over time. If you don’t get it treated when the pain starts, it has the potential to lead to larger problems. You do not need an x-ray or MRI to diagnose shoulder pain. Often when specialist rely on imaging for diagnosing it can open up a “can of worms” because there are false positives. We all have ab-normalities within our muscles and joints but the “abnormal” structures found on x-rays and MRIs doesn’t necessarily correlate to the limited function at hand and then patients have a higher likeli-hood of receiving invasive procedure such as surgery, injections which majority of the time are not needed for most shoulder pain patients. A trained doctor of physical therapy will be able to diag-nose specifically what structure is limiting the function by performing various tests to your muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons throughout the initial evaluation process pinpointing the the prob-lem.
Where do you look for relief of shoulder pain?
Too often when twinges of pain erupt from the shoulder, busy people just pop a pain-killer and push on through their day. The next day hurts even more, so they take a few more pills and con-tinue without seeking help or they seek out a surgeon who can only provide surgery as an option when they actu-
ally don’t want or even need surgery. Seeing a physician owned therapy service will also limit your potential for success in avoiding surgery because these physical therapist only see postoperative patients and are not equipped to help you avoid surgery.
How your independent physical therapist can help your shoulder pain
When you consult with a independent doctor of physical therapist because of shoulder pain, you can expect that first you will be evaluated so that they can determine the cause of your pain and then an effective way to treat it the same day. Some common shoulder problems we treat include rotator cuff tendonitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, stroke recovery and shoulder fracture. A combination of hands on treatment to loosen the muscles and joints and combine it with dry needling, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, hot and cold treatments, and Kinesio tapping. Add to that stretching and strengthening exercises including gentle exercises and education on proper posture and movement to decrease the pain.
What you can expect from your physical therapy
With each visit you will receive pain relieving treatment so control pain and inflammation without pharmaceuticals. You will also be program of exercise to do at home between visits to continue to heal and strengthen your shoulder. Your independent physical therapist can help you heal from your shoulder pain avoiding surgery saving you money and returning you to your normal life. Just leaving your shoulder alone to heal won’t help you at all. Seeing a provider who offers surgery will not help you avoid surgery. See a Physical Therapist and think physical therapy first!
