Middlef ield Competing for the Fun of It All By Rich Kelly sports@karlovecmedia.com It isn’t often that our local newspapers get to cover junior high athletics. Space comes at a premium, so sporting coverage is usually reserved for high school events. But April 13 at Cardinal High School’s Richard A. Moss Field, the Grand Valley Mustangs and Berkshire Badgers seventh- and eighth-graders met with the Cardinal Huskies to celebrate the chance to compete in track and field, and it was a newsworthy event. As storms passed by, clearing the way for clear skies and warmer temperatures before evening storms, it was the kind of day athletes live for. Junior high athletes have not quite developed their competitive streak, though. So while we won’t cover much in the way of scoring, their efforts — almost always with big smiles on their faces, or grimaces — led to a spectacular display of sportsmanship, effort and promise.

Rotary Donates $25,000 to UH Geauga Submitted
SUBMITTED
From left, Rotary Club of Burton Middlefield past president Jim Croup presents a $5,000 check to William Rice, University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center development officer, with support from current Rotary president Beverly Goodridge. The check fulfills BMR’s $25,000 pledge in support of the hospital’s Seidman Cancer Center.
The Rotary Club of Burton Middlefield (BMR) presented a $5,000 check the evening of April 5 to William Rice, development officer at University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center. “On behalf of our caregivers and patients at UH Geauga Medical Center, I want to thank you and the Burton – Middlefield Rotarians for fulfilling your $25,000 pledge in support of the Seidman Cancer Center at our hospital,” said Rice. The check represents the final installment of a $25,000 pledge made six years ago to obtain naming rights to two of the rooms in the state-of-the-art Seidmann Cancer wing of the hospital. It was in 2016 when then president Jim Croup initiated the donation, which was fully supported by the BMR club membership. Consecutively, presidents Jim Dvorak, Kathy Vatty, Mark
Zakrzewski, Larry Fox and current president, Beverly Goodridge led the club through fulfilling the promise. One of the rooms was named for the late Michaelean Pesek, the first woman president of the BMR club who was also a cancer patient at the hospital, and the second was named for John Gander, a long-time member of the BMR. John was an active member of the Geauga community and one of the longest serving members of the club with a 57-year perfect weekly meeting attendance record. The BMR club is honored to be one of the substantial supporters of the hospital’s addition. Since 1953, BMR has been a proud contributor to humanitarian projects throughout Geauga County using funds earned from annual pancake breakfasts at Berkshire High School and See Rotary • Page 11

By Rick Seyer Here is a great photo of North State Street looking north. This picture was taken sometime between 1910-1917. It appears the street may have been paved with a minimum amount of cement. The open field on the left side of the road, just under the tree trunk line, is now the area in front of the fire department/municipal center. The second building on the right is the ADVANCED ACCOUNTANTING CONSULTANTS building, used then as an automotive garage. The small building on the left, behind the wagon, had many, many different uses
through the years and finally collapsed in the early 1980s. The use of the first building on the right is unknown. This picture is of OWEN L. HALSTEAD’S Chevrolet garage that was located on the northwest intersection of routes 87 and 608, where the mini-park is now located. Owen Halstead was a successful Middlefield businessman. Times certainly were different then, when you drove your car right up on the sidewalk in front of the station to get gas. Next door to the Chevy garage was the FRO-JOY ICE CREAM store. It was a very popular place on a hot summer night. Ownership of the ice cream store is unknown to me.

from page 1 “Our numbers are down a bit this year from past seasons at this level,” Grand Valley Coach Clint Nims said. “A key element for them is to make sure they work their best but also have fun doing it. As they mature and grow, they will learn what they can and can’t do, they’ll learn about what part of this sport they like or don’t like, and they will learn to apply the things they learn as they compete in other life or social events.” Some of these young athletes are already nearly as large as their high school counterparts, yet two things not yet in their repertoires are strength and stamina. They also aren’t looking at winning as everything — a good thing. Berkshire seventh-grader Henry Nyzen competes in the 1600, 800 and 4x400 relays for his school. As he watched teammates and competitors prepare for their races before stepping up himself, he smiled and exhorted them on in their efforts. “I ran cross country this year,” he said. “I like track so far because it’s not as hard to do. The events are shorter, so while I still have to work at it, it’s been a lot of fun as well. I don’t have any goals for myself at this point, I just want to get better and have fun doing it. “It’s nice to win. At the same time, I’m just trying to have fun running. I just like the sport itself.” Another Cardinal eighth-grader, Sam Gdovichin, also is having a great time, but looking to future accomplishments in his sport. “My mom got me interested in track,” he said. “She ran in high school track, and she really told me how much fun it can be. I want to run in the 200, 400, and maybe the 800 in middle school and in high school. “I don’t have a lot of goals at this point, but one thing I want to shoot for is to break a minute in the 400. That would really be great for me.” Coaches are well aware of how their student-athletes see things in front of them. Berkshire Coach Brianne Valenti, while keeping record of how her kids performed, also spent plenty of time cheering them on and lending advice in the middle of races. “I don’t really need to motivate them much,” she said when asked if there is something special she tries to impart on these young minds and bodies. “It has to be fun for the kids first. Then they know how much to push themselves and how much to push each other as teammates.” While busy coordinating each event and recording times and distances, Cardinal Coach Jen Fekete also found time to do some coaching on technique and effort. She

certainly earns her money as a teacher and coach, all the while handling props, equipment and just about anything that is part of each event. “It’s nice to learn to compete, but it’s more important for them to learn what they can expect of themselves in lifelong endeavors and events,” she said. “We try to make it fun for them at all times, to let them work into things they really will enjoy and like for the rest of their lives.” However, don’t think for a second that these young people don’t care about competing. They also just really care about learning lessons on how to be a friend, teammate and competitor in life. And if the kids running and jumping in Middlefield’s sunny skies last week are any example of the future for their lives, or track and field as a sport, this area has some majorly successful and fun-to-watch seasons to come.

Letters to the Editor Spreading Manure There sure has been a lot of misinformation going around. Auditor candidate Diane Grendell says she’ll lower your property taxes. Now naturally that gets the attention of folks with lots of land and farms. Sadly, it’s not true. The auditor has NO power to raise or to lower tax rates on property. There are only two groups that can do that. One is the
legislature and the other is the taxpayers themselves via tax levies. So, the next time you hear Diane Grendell talking about lowering your taxes when she becomes auditor, invite her out to your farm. With what she spreading it should make your crops grow a lot better.

Avoid Orthopedic Surgery with Physical Therapy Dry Needling By Dr. Adam M. Cramer At MyoFit Clinic we see patients whose whole quality of life has been put on hold while they wrestle with debilitating musculoskeletal pain. They want to avoid surgery and understand that seeing a independent doctor of physical therapy first is the safest and most effective option. It’s the best way to avoid surgery because independent doctors of physical therapy only offer conservative treatment solutions, never surgery. Seeing a provider who offers surgery will increase Cramer the risk of receiving a surgical intervention. You can reduce that risk by receiving a diagnosis and care at a independent physical therapy practice first. Sometimes muscle pain centers in their shoulders, neck and back, or manifests itself with severe muscle spasms. Other times it appears as tendinitis, foot, hip or knee pain, muscle strains, and overuse injuries. In treating all of these patients, we have achieved amazing results using physical therapy first and a treatment known as “dry needling.”
What is dry needling?
Dry needling is a skilled intervention that a Doctor of Physical Therapy performs using a thin needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying muscle and connective tissues to promote healing of neuromusculoskeletal pain (nerve and muscle pain) and movement impairments which leads to improved strength, mobility and activity performance. When we initially recommend dry needling to patients, some of them confuse it
with a traditional Chinese medicine known as acupuncture, where the same kind of needle is used. But that is where the similarity stops. Dry needling is different in that it is based on western neuroanatomy and modern scientific study of the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Unlike acupuncture, the needles in dry needling therapy administered by a doctor of physical therapy inserted into trigger points in the body to elicit a twitch response. In essence, the needles release the muscle, promote blood flow to generate a new healing response so it can actually heal.
How it feels for the client
When we discuss dry needling, clients often express concern that it will be painful. Actually, it can be quite comfortable to receive this therapy. Most of our clients cannot even tell when the needle has been inserted. When the muscle twitch response happens, they may experience some minimal discomfort which they describe as a bit of pressure but then the individual experiences immediate pain relief! When pain relief does happen, it can be an emotional experience for the client. To finally be rid of a pain they have shouldered for months or even years leaves them with a feeling of bewilderment and tremendous relief. This treatment is very safe, cost-effective, low risk, covered by all medical insurances and requires no referral. To heal your pain fast and avoid surgery consult with our doctors of physical therapy first! Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT, is a licensed doctor of physical therapy, pain specialist and CEO/Founder of MyoFit Clinic in Chardon, Ashtabula & Middlefield, Ohio. Call 440-286-1007.
