Green Leaf Odors Makes Neighbor Miserable
By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com
When the wind starts blowing from the north, Middlefield Township resident John Kochy holds his breath, waiting to see if, once again, noxious odors waft past his home on state Route 528. Attending the Middlefield Village Council meeting May 19, Kochy said the Green Leaf medical marijuana processing plant just north of his home periodically releases gas into the atmosphere. He likened it to getting a face full of skunk spray. “Last night, the smell went away. It was okay until 2 a.m. – it was horrendous,” he said. Kochy, managing partner of Airwolf Aerospace LLC on state Route 528 south of his home, said the situation has gotten worse over the last year. “I can’t function like this. In my world, there are no mistakes. I need my wits about me,” Kochy said. His company designs, certifies, manufactures and stocks components such as Bell 206 tension-torsion straps, according to the company website. In May 2019, the village planning and zoning commission approved plans for Green Leaf Ohio to build the multi-million-dollar plant and greenhouses on 7.88 acres along the southern village-township line next door to the Kochy property. Green Leaf representative Kate Nelson said a dehumidification system would include charcoal filters that would clean the air released to the outside of the plant. Mayor Ben Garlich said on May 23 Green Leaf has been very responsive when talking to him about the issue, but he is concerned that supply chain problems may delay receipt of the high tech filters he understands have been ordered. As it stands, Kochy said at the meeting he can’t sit outside his house or leave the windows open because he doesn’t know when the See Odors • Page 7

Middlef ield Sliding Economy Worries Mayor By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com
Middlefield Village Mayor Ben Garlich turned off the tap on discretionary spending at the May 12 council meeting. “Our economy is deteriorating by the minute,” he said, referring to the national economy. “There will be no discretionary spending in the village from now on – zero. Every dollar makes a difference,” he said. “Think about every purchase – do we need it? If you add up 50 bucks 500 times, it’s a lot of money.” Village Fiscal Officer Nick Giardina warned, “We’ve got to be careful.” The village has been in very good financial shape for several years with income from water and sewer fees and income tax seeing significant increases. Garlich and
Giardina have been enthusiastic about the bottom line and council has been allocating the extra funds for projects and programs over the last two years. Giardina said income tax revenue was up 9.8% in 2022 over the year before, but overall, total Garlich receipts have started to become pretty flat, he said. “Economically, you can see things taking place, nationally and locally,” he said. “Just watch spending in case there is a true downturn here.” Despite concerns, council finalized a business improvement program that has been in the works for several months. The $242,000 program offers grants to businesses that want to improve their appearances. It is similar to the village
neat streets program that provides funding for paint and repairs on residential properties. Business owners need to apply online or through the mail and village officials decide which projects will be funded, but there are no guarantees. “We’re not going to stop now,” Garlich said. However, he did suggest council could cancel an incentive program that gives a $10,500 rebate for utility tap-in fees for residential builders. “That incentive doesn’t need to be there any more. It was okay when one house a year was being built,” he said. “We should look at that. We can always reinstate (the incentive program). Right now, it’s kind of a give-away.”

They have to fix it,” Garlich said, noting Kochy lives in Middlefield Township, which is an un-zoned area, but the issue has nothing to do with zoning. The original plan to filter the exhausted air has not been followed, he said.

We’re going to do our job,” he said.

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 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 acupunc-
ture, 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! Call 440-286-1007. References available at MyoFitClinic.com
