Chester Twp. Becomes Second Amendment Sanctuary Staff Report Chester Township has become a Second Amendment sanctuary, joining other Ohio counties that have made the symbolic step. Chester Township Trustees unanimously passed a resolution May 6 to support becoming a sanctuary for Second Amendment rights. A Second Amendment sanctuary can take place in a city, county or state. In the designated area, resolutions have been adopted to oppose the enforcement of certain gun control measures passed by state and federal governments, such as universal background checks, high capacity magazine bans, assault weapon bands and red flag laws, which gun rights advocates view as an infringement of rights. The resolution, which is similar to resolutions passed in other townships and counties, is mostly symbolic, as it does not supersede state or federal law. However, it does express support of House Bill 62, known as the “Ohio Second Amendment Safe Haven Act,” which will designate Ohio as a Second Amendment protective state. The legislation, currently pending in the 134th Ohio General Assembly, would assert the power of state rights over the federal government under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It would override federal laws and authority enforcement in regards to Second Amendment rights. See Sanctuary • Page 8
Ohio Lawmakers Propose Eliminating E-Check Staff Report Two state representatives have introduced a resolution to eliminate the E-Check program in Ohio. Under the Federal Clean Air Act, the program requires residents in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit counties to get their vehicles tested every two years to pass regulatory emissions requirements. Reps. Diane V. Grendell (R-Chester Township) and Gail Pavliga (R-Atwater) are behind it. “E-Check imposes a burdensome and costly motor vehicle emissions testing requirements on the citizens of Northeast Ohio and wastes their valuable tax dollars,” Grendell said. She also noted the current cost due to the implementation of E-check is $10.6 million per year and that it disproportionally affects certain individuals. “The E-Check program also disproportionally affects middle to lower classes because they are more likely to own an older vehicle, which may be their only mode of transportation and fails the

emissions tests,” Grendell said. “Even though these older vehicles are deemed to produce minimal pollution yet fail emissions tests.” The lawmakers said air pollution in the United States has improved significantly from the 1970s to current day. In 2015, the combined emissions from the six common pollutions have dropped 71 percent due to “manufacturing plants shutting down, improvements in car
emissions, and raised awareness of the effects of pollution,” according to an April 28 press release issued by Grendell’s office. In addition, many experts and tests have indicated that there is no measurable improvement in air quality through the implementation of E-Check, the release added. The resolution currently has 15 cosponsors and awaits its first committee hearing.

Elementary school students stand with Geauga West Rotarians Larry Corbus, Skip Claypool and Jim Zeitz after receiving dictionaries from the club.
Rotary Donates Dictionaries The Geauga West Rotary Club once again donated dictionaries to students at Lindsey and Westwood elementary schools. Traditionally a third-grade activity, this year the district asked that the dictionaries be given to the second-graders because it now fits into that curriculum. The club decided to give them to the current third-graders at Lindsey Elementary School and also provided dictionaries to the second-graders at Westwood Elementary School. Students in fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade that were formerly a part of the Newbury Local
Schools will also receive a dictionary from the club. Students were encouraged to sign up for the Imagination Library to receive free books.

Knee Pain? Physical Therapy Best Option To Avoid Surgery By Dr. Adam M. 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 foCramer cuses 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. 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.
