Cardinal Hires Superintendent, Interim Treasurer By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com During a lengthy meeting June 8 that included three executive sessions, Cardinal Schools Board of Education hired a new superintendent and an interim treasurer. Board member Linda Smallwood said Belinda Grassi, of Concord, a mem- Cunningham ber of the Riverside Schools Board of Education and former Edgemont School District treasurer, will be providing part- Grassi time fiscal coverage for the district until a full-time treasurer can be hired. “It is a full-time job, but it is so hard to find a treasurer right now,” Smallwood said, adding the district has started a search to fill the position, which will pay about $125,000 a year. In a text, district Treasurer Julia Rozsnyai, whose last day at Cardinal is June 20, said she will come back on weekends to help Grassi with the fiscal year closing. Smallwood said Rozsnyai’s tenure with the district improved Cardinal’s credit rating. The board also hired Jack Cunningham, 51, who has been with See Cardinal • Page 4

Board Asks for Figures On ESSER Fund Spending By Ann Wishart ann@karlovecmedia.com Cardinal Schools Board of Education postponed its plans to build porticoes at two schools following questions posed at the June 22 meeting. Board member Wendy Anderson said spending at least $200,000 of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds for porticoes might be premature until the board gets a firm grip on the cost of the proposed new bus maintenance facility and parking lot at the high school. “There’s a lot of questions surrounding that project that make me leery of going on. We haven’t seen bids for the parking lot or the (garage) yet,” she said. Anderson also said it appears the portico projects will require an additional $26,500 to check out
utilities and determine what is in the ground under the projected construction. Board President Linda Smallwood said the size of the garage has already been decreased by 2,000 square feet. The original version was beyond what is really needed for the purpose, she said. “We’re going to draw up a new plan and estimate what the new building is going to cost,” Smallwood said, noting costs of construction have gone up. The district has until 2024 to use the ESSER III funds, she said. Anderson also asked about the old garage behind the Cardinal Intermediate School building that is in the process of being sold to All Around Children, a preschool and daycare company. “Before we get into porticoes, I’m really concerned about the bus

garage project,” she said, asking if AAC is going to pay for the demolition of the garage. “We haven’t really established that,” Smallwood said. While demo of the structure may not be expensive, board member Kristen Klepper said there are other considerations. “It’s the removal of the debris that costs the money,” she said. Anderson said the board previously allotted $250,000 for the parking lot south of the high school and $800,000 for the bus garage. It has since become apparent that won’t be enough for the projects, she said. Smallwood said the district will be saving money elsewhere on projects, which are not costing as much as originally estimated. See Schools • Page 4

East Liverpool School District since 2012 and is currently director of curriculum and school improvement. He will be working on a per diem basis at Cardinal with Superintendent Bill Kermavner, whose contract is up the end of June. Kermavner tendered his letter of resignation for family reasons several months ago. At the May 25 board meeting, board members voted unanimously to accept the bid of $600,000 tendered April 19 by All Around Children to buy the Cardinal Intermediate School. AAC is a child care organization with

“Can we get that information?” Klepper asked. Newly-hired, part-time Treasurer Belinda Grassi said she will send information to the board. Klepper also said miscellaneous work inside the school buildings should have priority over the porticoes and was concerned the board doesn’t have a big picture of how ESSER funds are being spent. “I feel like we are voting on random things,” she said. “I want to see the whole thing — actual pricing.” They also discussed the need to widen the high school driveway to allow rerouted buses to turn out of the parking lot while cars and trucks are coming into the lot.
a facility in Parkman Township. The other bid by Briar Hill Independent Living of Middlefield was for $400,000. The three parcels being sold add up to 1.7 acres and include the 28,000 square-foot school and a bus garage scheduled to be torn down and replaced near the high school. AAC’s website describes itself as a Reggio Emilia-inspired early child care center and has facilities in Strongsville, Canton, Stowe and Cleveland. Kermavner said in a phone interview last week that having a daycare center next door to Jordak Elementary School could foster a positive relationship between AAC and Cardinal and lead to increased student enrollment for the district in the future. Newly-hired Superintendent Jack Cunningham said the district has two years from the time the CIS is sold to get routing worked out. The driveway from the high school to the road will need to be widened for the buses to make the turn, he said “I think there are too many questions and too many open ends,” Klepper said. Grassi said she will bring more information to the next meeting. A draft of a proposal from GPD Group listed $16,000 for schematic design, $28,800 for construction documentation and permitting, $19,200 for bidding, construction and closeout and $1,500 reimbursable (budget) for a total of $65,500. A sketch of the proposed bus garage shows space for three buses, a meeting room, restroom, office and storage.

Detectives Catch Online Thief By Brian Doering brian@karlovecmedia.com When a female from Trumbull County recently agreed to meet a man selling a vehicle on Facebook Marketplace in a rural area of Geauga County, she didn’t expect him to leave her in the dust, taking both her money and the vehicle with him. But she wasn’t the only victim of his. Jordan Barnes, 18, of Mentor, has allegedly targeted others with a similar scheme, according to Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand, who praised his detectives with catching Barnes this week after receiving a theft complaint from the above victim last week. “In the rural location, the suspect met with the victim and provided them a false vehicle title before speeding off in the vehicle with the cash,” officials said in a press release. “During the course of the investigation, the suspect Barnes was identified as (Barnes).” Hildenbrand said detectives located the same vehicle on Marketplace and arranged to meet Barnes in Chardon to purchase the vehicle. “The car was listed again the next day on Facebook and we set up a buy with the detectives and he was coming right out with it,” he said. When Barnes arrived at the meeting location, he was greeted by detectives, at which point he reportedly attempted to flee and avoid arrest. Barnes allegedly struck a detective’s vehicle while trying to flee and was taken into custody without further incident, the sheriff said. “When he showed up, there was only one car,” said Hildenbrand. “If you’re going to sell the car you are driving, you need somebody to come pick you up.” According to the release, detectives located
$6,590 in cash, three fraudulent vehicle titles and numerous cellular phones. “This is just another great example of detectives working in close conjunction with the citizens of Geauga County to effectively combat crime,” Hildenbrand said, adding the detectives did a great job and Barnes “wasn’t really smart.” Barnes was formally charged with theft and possession of criminal tools, both fifth-degree felonies, and arraigned in Chardon Municipal Court on June 10. He was released to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, where he was wanted for aggravated robbery, felonious assault and weapons offenses, the sheriff said. “He was released on a personal recognizance bond, but he had several warrants out of Cuyahoga County and he went to Cuyahoga County jail,” said Hildenbrand. “We will indict him and he will have his day in court.” Hildenbrand took the opportunity to remind residents in Geauga County of the importance of meeting in a safe meeting location for internet transactions. “This investigation is just a single example of what could go wrong with meeting strangers in public places,” he said, adding people can come to any police station, including the sheriff’s office lobby or parking lot, if they are going to purchase something online and meet somebody. “We wanted to make sure that people were safe and that transactions are going to be legit,” he said. There is a designated space in front of the sheriff’s office with a sign saying it’s a safe place to make internet transactions “and it’s all on camera,” said Hildenbrand. “Other police departments do the same thing and there are places available all over the county, but obviously, the sheriff’s office is in the central part,” he added.

Park District Strikes Bullseye with Archery Grant By Rose Nemunaitis editor@karlovecmedia.com Most kids at one time or another dream of becoming a superhero. Popular films and television shows highlight heroic archers, specifically, such as “Brave,” “The Hunger Games,” “Game of Thrones,” “Lord of the Rings” and “The Avengers,” to name a few. The Geauga Park District recently aimed to tap into the public’s love of archery by offering an introduction to archery program for families ages 9 and up June 12 at Chickagami Park in Parkman Township, utilizing an Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant to offer public archery programs. Last year, the GPD received a $2,500 grant from ODNR to purchase equipment through the National Archery in Schools Program, as well as to use the NASP curriculum in other programs to the public. An introduction to archery for adults program was scheduled for June 22 at Chickagami, with additional free introductory programs (registration required) on July 23 at Observatory Park, Nassau Astronomical Station in Montville Township. More archery programs are planned through October. GPD summer campers also have an opportunity to use the equipment. Staff and GPD volunteers, Cleveland Metroparks Outdoor Experiences and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes were trained to become certified basic archery instructors on May 25. The Tulchoski Family, of Middlefield — Keven and Natasha, their 12-year-old daughter, Amia, and 11-year-old son, Gio — recently set out on a weekend of adventures at no cost thanks to the Geauga Park District. They started their day at Headwater’s Park at East Branch in Claridon Township with first come, first-served kayaks. Then, the family of four headed to Parkman Township for the archery program. “I’m really excited,” Amia said, as she listened to archery safety instructions from GPD Naturalist Renell Roebuck.

of the Grand River Watershed, was formerly Camp Chickagami, a year-round camping facility of the Western Reserve Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Its archery range is now being used for park programs. “In order to be as safe as possible on the range, we are going to use some whistle commands,” Roebuck said. Roebuck tested each archer for eye dominancy with the help of GPD trained archery volunteers Doug and Jan Hodakievic, of Chardon Township. “I first did archery as a kid when I attended the YMCA day camps and was instantly attracted to it,” Doug said. “I guess it is the challenge of doing everything right and hitting the bull’s eye. And, as I have later learned, there are many steps to getting it right, which I can now help others with.” Roebuck reviewed range rules and the 11 steps to accuracy, all posted on signs with the whistle commands, on the range. “I have always enjoyed my volunteer time
with the park and have learned so much from the Geauga Park naturalists that when the opportunity came up to become a certified archery instructor, I was all in,” Doug added. “I also enjoy helping people with the knowledge I have gained. It is a pleasure to pass what I have learned to help others become better at archery. It also doesn’t hurt that I get to hone my skills along the way.” Natasha said her family found the program very educational. “Amia and Gio definitely will be continuing
with archery. They were both little naturals,” she said. “She (Roebuck) is so patient and amazing. She really did make the archery class fun. Geauga parks have such diverse opportunities for all families.” Roebuck added in a time when families are pulled in many directions, it’s nice to provide programs they can participate in together while having fun challenging each other. “It’s nice to hear the friendly banter between family members as to who had the best shot,” Roebuck said.

In a very close game, the White Team defeated the Blue Team 23-20 on a game-winning field goal by West Geauga’s Joey Di Lalla. “This week of practice was long, it was hot,” Di Lalla said. “I came prepared to work every day. “I managed to come through with the game-winner.” Players from Cardinal, Chagrin Falls, Chardon, Kenston and West Geauga participated with all-stars from Cuyahoga and Lake counties, and were divided into the two teams.

Physical Therapy for Back Pain: Avoiding Orthopedic Surgery 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 Chardon, Middlefield and Ashtabula, OH we have great success in helping clients find relief from Cramer 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 an 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 function 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 treatment. 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 hands on manual therapy also spent fewer days in bed, were more active and used fewer anti-inflammatory medications that those who were treated solely with medication.
Avoiding Orthopedic Surgery
Nobody wants surgery, so then why do individuals consult with a orthopedic surgeon? Surgery is a surgeon’s specialty. That’s what they are trained to do. Sure, they will offer costly imaging, ineffective injections and tell you to “rest and see how it feels.” The problem with this common conservative approach is that it actually does nothing to help correct the underlying issue that’s contributing to your symptoms when you need it the most. Then, in 4 weeks of “letting it rest” it’s worse! Even if they offer to go to their own physical therapy office, these physical therapists only treat post-operative patients and are not equipped to help you avoid surgery. So then when your symptoms are worse in 4 weeks, of course, the only option left is surgery! Avoiding surgery takes a independent Doctor of Physical Therapy who’s only focus is helping people avoid surgery, providing focused care and taking the time to do it right, teaching patients how to effectively controlled their symptoms and returning to normal symptom-free mobility, this is what we do at MyoFit Clinic. 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 MyoFit today for an initial consultation so you can keep moving forward pain free While successfully avoiding orthopedic surgery. Dr. Adam M. Cramer, DPT, is a licensed physical therapist, pain specialist and founder of MyoFit Clinic. Call MyoFit at 440-286-1007 if you would like to avoid orthopedic surgery for your pain. MyoFitClinic.com

Cardinal Schools Jordak PTO Had Eventful Year
Jordak Elementary School PTO had a wonderful school year and would like to share some of its activities with the community. Everyone was excited to be back in the school with the students and teachers. The PTO hosted its annual Halloween Trunk or Treat and Holiday Headquarters, which gave students a chance to shop for their loved ones and bring home a special gift. And the PTO was excited to support the school in taking the students on field trips again. From the Middlefield Library to Wagon Trails, the kids were able to get out and explore the world. Another exciting event the PTO put on this year was a raffle in which Jordak’s amazing teachers donated their time and skills, and the children were able to buy tickets and bid for them. It was a huge hit, with prizes like a cake decorating class, an afterschool movie, and even dyeing a teacher’s hair. The PTO put on apparel sales, its beloved book fair, and Family Literacy Month, which gives children of different ages the chance to come together and experience the same story as a group. The PTO provided books, decorations and a school pet - a hamster named Humphrey. After one third-grade class put in a request, the PTO was able to create a Buddy Bench for any student who feels alone to a have a place to sit and let other children know s/he needs a friend. Grandparents Day was a success with a craft, donuts, a photographer and lots of laughs. The school was able to show teachers how much they are valued with Teacher

Appreciation week, where the PTO provided food and raffled off prizes. The eventful year wrapped up with Field Day, which is a favorite of the students. They had so many games and everyone enjoyed slushies. The PTO had the bittersweet task of saying farewell to the oldest students at fourth-grade graduation with a special ceremony. Thanks to a generous donation, each child was sent home with a T-shirt to commemorate the day. It was a great school year and none of it would have been possible without the support of the community. There are so many
