Geauga Theater Group Hosting Auditions for Fall Shows

By Hannah Lewandoski editor@geaugamapleleaf.com After more than a year of absence, the Geauga Theater will soon be filled with music once again.

Thrive, the programming and management company Chardon City Council selected for the Geauga Theater, will open their fall performances Sept 10.

Father and son duo Jim and Brett Boardwine are tackling the theater’s opening together as Thrive’s artistic and managing directors.

“We’re back to performing live, which is exciting,” Jim said. “It’s double excitement for us being new to Chardon.”

Cardinal Coach Charged with 2 Felonies for Grade Tampering Staff Report Cardinal head football coach and school aide George Gresko, 28, of Mentor, faces two felony counts, according to an indictment from a Geauga County grand jury.

Gresko had been under criminal investigation for tampering with the grades of students in other teachers’ classes.

The two-count indictment — tampering with records and unauthorized use of a computer — was issued Wednesday morning. It reads the crime was committed between Jan. 2 and April 7, 2021.

The indictment states Gresko “did falsify, destroy, remove, con-

ceal, alter, deface or mutilate any writing, computer software, or record kept by or belongs to a local, state, or federal governmental entity … a felony of the third degree.”

The second charge is a fifth-degree felony.

A message left with Gresko Gresko last Wednesday afternoon was not returned.

Gresko was arraigned June 30 before Geauga County Common Pleas Court Judge Carolyn Paschke.

Cardinal Schools Superintendent Bill Kermavner said in a press release to the Geauga County Maple Leaf, “The school district is

aware of the criminal indictment issued today, Wednesday, June 23, against George Gresko. At this time, the district’s investigation continues into the conduct related to the charges against Mr. Gresko and we are unable to comment further at this time.”

During the June 30 Cardinal Schools Board of Education meeting, the district is expected to hire assistant coach Chris Perrotti as head coach for the 2021-2022 school year on a supplemental athletic contract starting Aug. 1, 2021, according to the meeting agenda.

His hiring was initially discussed at the June 9 meeting, but was tabled.

Deputy Delivers More Than Justice

By Kathy McClure editor@geaugamapleleaf.com It was after midnight on a starry night in May. Geauga County Sheriff’s Deputy Travis Goodwin was performing his regular patrol with his K9 partner, Argo, riding along.

As they traveled on Mayfield Road, he encountered and pulled over a speeding motorist in a van.

The violator was not just the typical driver paying too little attention to a lead foot. Upon approaching the van, Goodwin quickly realized the passengers inside were an Amish couple who needed help.

The mom was in advanced stages of labor and the baby was not waiting to get to the hospital.

Goodwin sprang into action, calling to report the situation and ask for a backup ambulance.

He moved quickly to offer help in delivering a healthy baby girl, the sixth child for the couple inside the van.

“I have never done this before, but I have a son and was present at his birth. I grew up on a dairy

farm, but I was only trained in first aid. Fortunately, the baby did most of the work,” said Goodwin.

The umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck, so he quickly performed CPR on the tiny life and she began to cry. The whole delivery was fast — about three minutes from the call for an ambulance to the delivery.

The Burton squad arrived to offer professional EMT techniques and continue the trip to University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center.

“The squad arrived in only sev-

en or nine minutes, but it seemed like an eternity,” Goodwin admitted.

The Ashtabula family said the mother had only been in labor about an hour before the arrival, but were thrilled that after five boys, they were finally parents to a daughter.

Goodwin admonished the couple about trying to make the hospital run on their own. He cautioned a call to 911 is always a safer route since EMTs are equipped to handle almost any eventuality.

Goodwin visited the mom and baby later just to receive confirmation all was well and they were safe.

He was awarded the coveted honorary golden Stork pin, a symbol customarily associated with a new baby’s arrival.

“This was special because not a lot of officers deliver babies,” he said, adding his family was proud of him for what he had done.

“He has to feel good inside,” said a proud Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand. “Bringing a new life into the world is something he’ll remember for his entire career.”

Here is a picture of the north side of West High Street in the early 1960s during a sidewalk sale. All of the stores shown are gone and have been replaced. REXALL DRUGS was the first store on the block and was located where MSI is currently. Next door was ZANG’S WESTERN AUTO, then the EZ WAY LAUNDROMAT, followed by the

WARREN SANITARY DAIRY restaurant, the KLEINFELD’S DEPARTMENT STORE and lastly TOWN TAVERN. During sidewalk sales, merchants would offer great bargains on store merchandise and set up tables outside on their sidewalks to sell it.

Sidewalk sales brought shoppers to Middlefield from all over looking for that special bargain.

Theater from page 1

Thrive is holding open call auditions for their fall shows on July 10 at their new office at 106 Water St. The group is looking for multigenerational talent.

“We’ve had kids as young as 3 or 4 be in our shows, as well as people as old as 80 — we’ve had a wide range,” he said.

Dancers, singers, actors, musicians, as well as anyone interested in performing is welcome to audition.

According to their website, Thrive asks that performers take a look at their 2021-22 mainstage season and prepare a self-selected piece that relates to one of the themes of their upcoming shows — including 80s, Halloween, Christmas, Broadway, Cinderella and the 50s and 60s.

Auditions can run one to five minutes long.

Brett is excited for the new start in Geauga and is hoping to provide a space for people “who didn’t feel they had an outlet for their style of performing arts prior.” “(For) those more accustomed to traditional and community theater, I think it will take some time for us to win them over — I am confident going forward we can do that,” he said.

Thrive’s planning process began when COVID-19 hit last year and despite not getting into the building until January 2021,

they’re working to soon get show-ready.

“We are approaching the process like any other business opening a new location,” said Brett. “We have spent a lot of time planning, branding, renovating and preparing both the physical space and organization for what is to come.”

Patrons can expect to see a wide variety of shows this fall.

“The performances we are staging are high-energy, themed live music shows,” he said. “The content will draw a sharp contrast between the new programming and what has been staged at the Geauga Theater in the past.”

Thrive is also looking to bring in third-party acts, such as outside bands and comedians, as well as play classical movies to fill in gaps between productions.

Their goal is to initially bring in local acts and eventually, build the reputation of the Geauga Theater as a venue for acts from across the country, Brett said.

“We are acting not only as a production company, but also as true venue managers,” he said.

A highlight for Brett is not only bringing back musical performances to the community, but to do so with his father.

“We have had the opportunity to develop a unique bond that comes only with sharing a passion and working together each day,” he said.

Thrive will open its performance season this fall and will run through July 17, 2022.

Cardinal Schools Cardinal Student Spends Summer in Basic Training

Summer break looks a lot different for Cardinal High School senior Anthony Ludlow. In lieu of a summer home with friends, Ludlow is in Columbia, S.C., participating in the U.S. Army’s Basic Combat Training (BCT) at Fort Jackson. At roughly 613 miles from Middlefield, Ludlow says that will be the farthest he’s ever been from home, but adds the allure of getting a jumpstart on his military career was too much to pass up.

“I joined the military because it offered me opportunities that I didn’t have at home,” he says. “It’s always been a dream of mine to be able to serve my country in some capacity.”

Ludlow’s service began on June 6, when he left to begin his 10-week BCT program.

According to Fort Jackson’s website, the installation is the U.S. Army’s main production center for BCT, training roughly 50 percent of all soldiers. Trainees will conduct physical training, walk dozens of miles on foot marches where they carry up to 35 pounds of equipment, learn combat skills, negotiate obstacle courses, rappel from a 40-foot tower and spend several nights in the Fort Jackson forests sleeping and operating under the stars.

“I am excited to receive the kind of physical training the Army has to offer,” Ludlow said.

Following their two-and-a-half month training, trainees will graduate and become official soldiers in the U.S. Army.

Following his Army graduation, Ludlow will return to Cardinal High School for his senior year. Upon high school graduation in May of 2022, Ludlow will then leave for the Army’s

Knee Pain? Physical Therapy Best Option to Avoid Surgery

By Dr. Adam Cramer, DPT The knee is one of the most used joints in the body that can easily take the repetitive stress of day to day use. When the knee is pushed beyond it’s limits or turned in a direction it isn’t meant to it can cause pain and injury. When this happens, physical therapy is the best first option for treatment.

What Can be Done About Knee Pain?

For many, the first step following a knee injury is to consult with a surgeon even though they prefer not to have surgery. Yet these professionals specialty is surgery and they have never made anyone walk again themselves.

So if you’re having difficulty with walking because of pain then consult a specialist who focuses Cramer on improving walking and reducing pain themselves such as a independent physical therapist of which should be the first point of contact for pain and especially knee pain. By consulting with a independent physical therapist there is no conflict of interest like in orthopedic surgical groups and hospital systems. Independent physical therapists focus only on cost-effective low risk physical therapy treatment and not high cost high risk surgical procedures.

No referral is needed for physical therapy in the state of Ohio and your medial insurance will cover the cost of treatment.

MRIs and x-rays are not needed to diagnose injuries, especially knee pain when we all have abnormalities within our joints and imaging can produce false positives resulting in unnecessary surgeries. Steroid injections and other injections offered by orthopedic surgeons have demonstrated ineffectiveness with not properly addressing the functional limitations (lack of motion and strength) that

an individual with knee pain has. Based on evidence steroid injections can actually deteriorate tendons, promote cartilage loss and create bone fractures under the cartilage in your joint.

Physical Therapy for Knee Pain

All of these invasive procedures mentioned above do absolutely nothing to correct the underlying problem in the first place, it’s just treating the symptoms. The underlying problem with most joint pain is lack of motion and strength. It’s quite simple, if you work at improving how well you move, you will move better, plain and simple. Cartilage in joints is like a sponge, when it is used it will soak up all the nutrients around it while getting rid of waste products in the joint that can degenerate cartilage further if the joint is not exercised. Movement is the key. By focusing on the structures that make us move, such as muscles, you will undoubtedly move better with less symptoms. When the knee is stressed through exercise it promotes strength of it, blood flow increases, oxygenation and ultimately healing.

Physical therapy treatment for knee pain will include hands-on treatment to promote blood-flow, healing and range of motion. Dry needling will help reduce pain while promoting healing and muscle contraction. Therapeutic exercise will promote strengthening and stabilization of the knee joint to reduce excessive shearing/rotational forces that can lead to further damage of the joint. You will have a thorough understanding of how to maintain and treat your symptoms independently. By seeing a independent Doctor of Physical Therapy first who is not affiliated with a hospital or surgeon you will reach your goals fast avoiding surgery all together.

Huntsburg History: Are We There Yet?

By Elaine and Carl Seliskar As we approach summer and think “vacation,” whether it be past, present or in the future, families are compelled to think about how to manage a vacation with their children.

Whether driving or flying, keeping children occupied is foremost in the mind of all parents.

What parent (or sibling, for that matter) has never heard that bored little voice from the back seat utter that all too familiar phrase, “Are we there yet?” Anyone who has taken a long or even a short trip with children should be familiar with those four little words.

Well, those early pioneer families who came to Huntsburg from their homes in New England might have been the first in this country to become acquainted with that phrase. And it hasn’t diminished its meaning in the lives of parents everywhere.

We know from written memoirs of those early pioneers that in many cases entire families journeyed by wagon from New England to Huntsburg, carting along everything they thought they would need in this wilderness populated with Native Americans and wild and dangerous animals.

In the beginning there wasn’t anything here except forests and occasional open fields. The first order of business was to build a sturdy log cabin in which the family would at least be reasonably secure from the wild animals that roamed the area. Their travel wagon, which was usually pulled by one or

SUBMITTED

Keith, Lawrence and Margaret Clark in the family’s 1914 Buick

two oxen, was loaded with as many supplies and food staples that would be needed to start a homestead, but it left little room for passengers.

The trip from Northampton, Mass., where the earliest pioneers originated, consisted of approximately 430 miles. Except for a few rivers to cross, which was dangerous enough, the journey was all overland through rough rutted trails and forests.

Because of the precarious nature of the routes travelled the going was tediously slow.

More often than not, the husband rode a horse or walked while his wife and children

rode in the wagon. The wife and older children would have taken turns walking as there wouldn’t have been enough room for all of them to ride in the wagon at one time. Babies and small children would have been the only ones able to ride in the wagon itself for the entire journey.

The first family to arrive here consisted of Stephen Pomeroy, his wife and their six children aged 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 and 1-1/2. Their journey involved six to seven weeks of difficult overland travel. Other families followed in their wake as the years went by and homesteads began to appear throughout the grow-

ing community of Huntsburg.

But getting here was still an arduous undertaking for families who were obliged to travel here by an overland route. Those families with small children must have thought long and hard about how to prepare for such a journey.

Although horse-drawn wagons were replaced by the “horse powered” vehicle, these were eventually replaced by the modern automobile. Neither mode of transportation provided the spaciousness and luxury of our 21st century vehicles. Large families would still have needed to provide for their growing families when travel was necessary. Modern travelers with children are still confronted with whose turn it is to sit by a window!

Regardless of how early pioneers got here, we have to ask ourselves what all of the children did on that long journey. What was there for them to do when they finally arrived? Besides smaller chores suited to their age and size, what was there to do to keep them amused?

We can only surmise that their parents either brought with them or made for them along the way or when they arrived, simple games or toys to keep them occupied. Some early forms of entertainment for children were very small books, cloth dolls for girls, dominoes or small wooden objects probably whittled for them by their father or grandfather. Anything very small in size would have been easily carried on a long journey.

How many times along that difficult journey did parents hear that all too familiar phrase: “Are we there yet?”
