Middlef ield Huskies Find Motive for Strong Playoff Run By Haley Adams sports@geaugamapleleaf.com
After starting the season 1-3, the Cardinal Huskies won five straight games before dropping a non-conference game, then starting a six-game winning streak. Those wins included a five-set thriller against rival Berkshire, and four of the six included straight set victories. Oct. 12, the Huskies looked to take first place in the Chagrin Valley Conference’s Valley Division against Kirtland. Though they lost 3-1, they perhaps found some motivation for a strong playoff run. Thanks to Hornets’ hitting errors, the Huskies jumped out to a 6-4 lead in the first set, then saw their lead dwindle away. Trailing 14-11, Cardinal was forced to call a timeout, and Kirtland went on a 8-3 run before the Huskies called their second timeout of the set. The Hornets won the first set 25-16 after a couple of hitting errors for the Huskies. To start the second set, Cardinal jumped out to a 5-1 lead as senior Jessie Proch began to get hot on the outside hitter position. Junior setter Haley Domen got an ace for her team, and Proch recorded three more kills before Kirtland called its first timeout at 7-2. As the Hornets began to claw

their way back, the Huskies’ lead was cut to one at 11-10. Cardinal called a timeout to talk things over. Two kills from junior Lindsay Hissa evened things out at 12. But three lead changes later, the Huskies would even the match at 1-1, taking set two 26-24. Kirtland controlled much of the third set after leading 5-2. Cardinal head coach Karisca Chambers and her team called a timeout after trailing 10-4.
After two long rallies that favored the Huskies, with a kill recorded from Hissa and a free ball won from senior libero Alaina Strever, the Huskies trailed 18-14. Strever recorded 23 digs and 15 serve receptions to control much of the back row. Cardinal fought off three set points before the Hornets took set three 25-20. The Huskies were forced to call their first timeout in the fourth set
when they found themselves trailing 8-4. And when Kirtland had their largest lead of the night at 2214, the Huskies did all they could to fight back and keep their chances of first place alive. An ace from sophomore defensive specialist Ronnee Collins cut Kirtland’s lead to just three, but it wasn’t enough — Cardinal again would fight off three match points beSee Volleyball • Page 6
Commissioners OK $1.1M of CARES Act Funds By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com Geauga County Commissioners held a special meeting Oct. 8 to complete approval to spend more than $1 million of federal CARES Act funds for COVID-19 related items. A total of $1,105,930.13 was approved for the Geauga County Engineer’s Office to purchase four chainsaws, six snow plow trucks, a Ford 550 quad cab mechanics vehicle, a mini excavator and, for the Geauga County Job and Family Services Department, a GMC Acadia SUV. The purchases were requested at the Oct. 6 commissioners meeting, but commissioners chose to delay
the action until they received a letter of verification from the Ohio Office of Budget and Management that the items requested qualify as being needed to avoid spreading the coronavirus among county personnel. “We are thankful for the efforts of commissioners Ralph Spidalieri, Tim Lennon and Jim Dvorak, who continue to provide our county with an admirable and model response to this health crisis,” engineer’s office administrator Frank Antenucci wrote in a press release. “By adding multiple additional snow and ice control emergency response vehicles, the engineer will be able to ensure all first responding emergency snow and ice control management team members will have individual truck assignments, rather than hav-
ing multiple drivers use one truck. Having multiple drivers assigned to one truck would have required each truck to be immediately quarantined for cleaning and thorough sanitization after each use. Such quarantine would have delayed emergency response, creating potentially unsafe and dangerous road conditions during an ongoing emergency.” He credited the work of county Prosecutor Jim Flaiz and Auditor Charles Walder and Chief Deputy Auditor Ron Leyde for CARES Act compliance assistance and expertise. “Of special note, the engineer’s office and Geauga County owe a debt of gratitude to Pamela McMahan, the Geauga County auditor’s fiscal office manager, for her tireless and expert work behind the
scenes to coordinate, facilitate and ensure the acquisition of these assets to Geauga County,” Antenucci wrote. “Pam is one of those humble, unsung heroes of small government, demonstrating selfless and positive actions that benefit so many people. She is a true public servant who cares deeply about ensuring Geauga County continues to be a safe and healthy community for families.” The county recently received an additional $3.3 million from the CARES Act on top of about $1.2 million sent in two previous payments. Funds are going to most government entities to be spent on resources that will help keep COVID-19 from spreading among employees.

A Glimpse of Yesteryear
By Rick Seyer The OPEN KITCHEN RESTAURANT was a main fixture of downtown Middlefield for over 50-plus years. It was located right next door to Middlefield Tavern om the west side. It was built by Bert Caldwell, who had purchased a small service station located on the northeast corner of the intersection in 1934. He and Mrs. Caldwell operated a confectionary store and gas station here for many years. Mr. Caldwell wanted to expand his business and decided that he could build a new building himself on the vacant lot directly to the east. Upon retirement, he leased his new store
building to Grover McGurer and Elizabeth Smallwood. They had operated a restaurant on the opposite side of the street and moved it into this new located. They installed modern restaurant and soda fountain equipment and made the OPEN KITCHEN into a highclass restaurant. Upon the death of Mr. McGurer, Mrs. Smallwood continued to operate the restaurant assisted by Mrs. Lola Shipman. Through the years, the OPEN KITCHEN had many names, including Cardinal Restaurant, Brotwassers and Country Corners, just to name a few. It’s really too bad that great lunch counters like these are a thing of the past.

Fitness Report
Do You Have to Endure Chronic Back Pain? By Dr. Adam M. Cramer Between 60 and 80% of people currently living in the United States will experience chronic back pain at some point in their lives. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, it is one of the most common occupational disorders in the country.
What kind of relief can you expect?
At MyoFit Clinic in Middlefield, Chardon and Ashtabula, OH we have had great success in helping clients find relief from their chronic pain who gradually improve strength and mobility from exercise and resume their normal level of activity again. There are a number of treatments we use to accomplish this.
Physical therapy with strength and mobility programs
When physical therapy is coupled with specially prescribed motor control exercises, only which a licensed physical therapist can prescribe, we have observed significant success in treating patients with chronic low back pain. The focus of these special exercises is to improve the neuromuscular control of those body segments involved in movement of the spine in order to improve stability of the spine making it stronger. In essence, while chronic back pain is not usually a “quick fix,” the condition can often be treated effectively with a combination of different physical therapies. Physical therapy aims to correct the debilitating dysfunction versus only just treating the symptoms.
Dry Needling
At MyoFit Clinic we have also brought relief to many sufferers of chronic back pain by using a advanced treatment procedure known as Intramuscular Stimulation or Dry Needling. This is a unique procedure requiring specialized training on the part of your physical therapist. It is designed to target muscle func-

fore dropping set four 27-25 and the match 3-1. The Huskies will now look to close out their season 15-6 with a conference matchup against Grand Valley and a non-conference game against St. John. Earlier in the week, the Huskies were voted second in their district tournament, excit-
tion to improve tissue healing and muscle restoration. It is especially effective if your back pain is linked to an underlying injury. If you are recommended to have dry needling, you can expect to be treated with thin solid filament dry needles that will deactivate and desensitize trigger points within the muscle itself. These trigger points are known to contribute to pain, poor muscle function, low blood circulation and reduced flexibility.
Manual therapy
Chronic lower back pain can also be relieved substantially with hands on manual therapy offered at our clinic by a Doctors of Physical Therapy manual therapy includes myofascial release, massage, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, stretching and range of motion. In fact, a 2011 scientific study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine found that manual therapy helps people with back pain to function even after six months. After 10 weeks, more than 1/3 patients who received either type of manual therapy said their back pain was either much better or gone, compared to only one in 25 who were taking medication. Patients who underwent massage therapy also spent fewer days in bed, were more active and used fewer anti-inflammatory medications that those who were treated solely with medication. Physical therapy is not something that can be done on your own or by any other health/medical practitioner. You need the critical and trained eye of a licensed doctor of physical therapy in order to assess and determine appropriate diagnosis, limitations and treatments for your pain. No referral is needed in Ohio for physical therapy so you can skip seeing a physician or orthopedic surgeon. Call us today for an initial consultation so you can keep moving forward pain free! Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT, is a licensed physical therapist, pain specialist and founder of MyoFit Clinic in Middlefield, Chardon & Ashtabula, Ohio and offer all the above treatments at all clinics.

ing many players. “We definitely need to come out strong and not get behind early,” said Domen, who would lead the team in assists with 30. Proch and Hissa each recorded 10 kills to lead their team. As for that newfound motivation, the Huskies and Hornets may meet again in the district finals. As Chambers said: “We will see them in the districts.” With that mindset, surely the Huskies will circle that game on their calendars.

Katherine’s Korner Mrs. Joe Katherine Byler Middlefield Township With Christmas only 64 days away, it makes me think of the one-liner: Two snowmen are standing in a field when one says to the other, “Do you smell carrots?” We’re hoping wedding season is over with for us this year. The scale is being hugely ignored as we greatly enjoy each and every invitation we’ve received. Fall colors are being greatly enjoyed as we know quite surely we can’t ‘hang on’ to them much longer. ‘Tis soon time to turn our clocks back to standard time (Nov. 1) and even more darkness in our waking hours. Bring on the lights. Granddaughters Katherine and Betty D. were here to do a thorough cleaning. We had time play some games of marbles, hoping we didn’t lose any. Their help is greatly appreciated. One is a school teacher, one a teacher’s helper. Norma D. is a special education teacher. Hubby is not taking it easy very much since flipping his buggy one eve while trying out a new horse. Things flew out of the buggy, all except himself. The horse somehow stayed standing, didn’t act up at all. With “only” bumps and bruises, and a broken post on the buggy, he hitched it up and drove down the road to continue what he had planned. This happened in front of our
house, so help was soon there. Whew! Youngest grandson, Donnie (Wayne and Elizabeth) is turning 10 years old. Why can’t children stay little a bit longer? All too soon they’ll grow up and perhaps know more than grandpa and grandma. Or, at least, they can remember better . . . smile. Joe E. Byler, Burton, got a load together to go to Sugar Grove, Pa., to visit his nephew, Joe A. Byler. The other going are Joe A.’s cousins, including my brothers, Crist and Joe. Crist and wife and children just returned from a two-day trip to the Skyline Drive in Virginia. Their family takes a trip like that every year, always to a different place. Long ago, March 1985, Eli A. Miller sold his farm to Jake S. Byler Jr. on Bundysburg Road. Eli will build a new home on North Girdle Road. My grandson, Eli W. Byler’s horse got scared of something laying beside the road and jumped on the hood of a car and did quite a bit of damage to it. “It seems the manager of the vegetable department at my grocery store doesn’t tolerate picky customers. He posted this sign: ‘Notice! Take lettuce from top of stack or heads will roll!’” ‘Twas a very enjoyable time spent at the DDC auction. Went home with a lot of baked goods (yummy!) and the delicious breakfast was the very best. I just have to get the recipe for the sausage.
