Walker Road work
put on hold this year
•SHEFFIELD
By John Edwards
Sheffield Lake Service Director Bill Gardner told
city officials June 28 that Issue 2-fundcd improvements
of Walker Road, including new storm sewers and
repaving with curbs and gutters may not happen as
planned this year due to questionable state funding.
"We're on the 'funded' lisl for phases one and two
of the Walker Road project," Gardner said. "But we're
near the bottom of that lisl. As of now it looks like
they'll run out of money before they get to us. With
council's permission, I'd like to resubmit phases one
and two along with phase three for next year. We may
be able to get all three phases funded next year."
Phases one and two of the Walker Road project run
from the Avon Lake City limits west along Guenther
Park to Cove Beach Avenue. Phase three runs from Cove
Beach west to Abbe Road. The plan includes new
drainage of Gucnther Park along with an expanded
parking lot on the south side of the park, on land leased
from Ford Motor Co. for SI per year. Next year's application could prove crucial, as Issue 2 is in jeopardy.
"Next year could be the last for Issue 2." Gardner
said. "Governor Taft mixed Issue 2 with his "Third
Frontier" program and Republicans in the legislature
killed it. Next year it could be a straight Issue 2 vote
and it's more likely Issue, 2 would be renewed wilhoul
Third Frontier."
It was described by one patron as Avon's answer to the
popular '80s television show and famed Boston pub
"Cheers" as the place where "everybody knows your
name." After serving customers for 2G years, Papos
Restaurant on Detroit Road closed last weekend.
Dozens of patrons stopped by to offer well wishes to
owners Bill and Lillian Pigg from Rocky Raver, along with
son Billy, in a celebration hosted by several members of
Papos Kound Table'Society. Thu Round Table is an unofficial group of patrons, mostly men (although spouses
were welcome), who have been enjoying coffee and conversation every morning at 5:30 at Papos for over 20 years.
"Every issue thai has come before city council or the
school board has been discussed hen!," Round Table
member Tom Wearsch said. "If you wauled to know what
was going on in this city, you had to come to the Round
Table."
Changing times and family needs prompted the closing, according to Billy.
"Back in the early 'HOs. wo wen) only open a few days
a week and served mostly pixza," he said. "My mom
began working here back then and hasn't stopped working
seven days a week ever since."
The Pigg family members arc no strangers to the restaurant business. Billy's father owned the former Headlincr
Cafe in downtown Cleveland across the street from The
Plain Dealer building on Superior Avenue. Billy's grajidfather opened the establishment after Prohibition.
When Papos opened in Avon in 1979, the town only
had three traffic lights and the mayor (Tom Wearsch)
delivered the mail.
"Avon has changed a lot, in a good way," Billy said.
"My dad has had some health issues along the way and
we are just loo busy with other things as a family in continue operating the restaurant. We knew that if wu ever
closed, we would want someone to take over the space
thai would keep this place an independent, family-owned
operation.
"This place really is a homo away from home," ho continued. "Just about every waitress has married a customer."
According lo Billy, David George, owner of the Moose
Head Grill in Vermilion,1 said he plans to open a restaurant
in the existing space in the fall (see story, page 17). Billy
will continue to maintain ownership of the building.
"My mother plans to work at the Moose Head when it
opens," Billy said. "She's in her seventies, but nothing can
stop her. The restaurant will be in good hands and the new
owners will give it the shot in the arm it needs."
Even during the final hours at Papos, Lillian was hurrying around from table to table pouring coffee and greeting customers with a pleasant, welcoming smile on her
face.

"It's been a hell of a 20 years," she said. "I'm going to

Society and Science Changes Role for Dentists
There was a time not so long ago
when people thought of tlioir medical
doctors as health providers, and their

diagnosed your illnesses, attended to
your general health, delivered your
babies, and dealt with traumatic
emergencies. Dentists used to fix your
teeth when they hurt, removed them if
they really hurt, and gave you lectures
about brushing and flossing until you
couldn't stand it any longer.

the state of your oral health often
provides Uie first indications of major
health problems.
Scientists now understand how
bacteria in the mouth can enter the
bloodstream and migrate throughout the
body. Once there, it can increase arterial
plaque which restricts blood flow and
increases your risk of heart attack and
stroke. Research suggests that dental
pathology is a stronger predictor for
heart disease than other standard
markers such as high levels of fibrinogen
(a clotting factor), or low levels of good
cholesterol, or high triglyccrides. In fact,
people with periodontal disease are
almost twice as likely to suffer from
coronary artery disease that am lead to

Paramedics continue fight to maintain current procedures
AVON
By Lori E. Switaj
, Firefighter/paramedics in Avon Lake
mot with council's safety meeting July 15
to discuss protocol for the new Avon
Emergency Care Center (AECC) expected
to open in August.
During the three-hour meeting, paramedics first aired their concerns over a
change in protocol from the Cuyahoga
County based WeSHARE to the newly
formed TELCEA based in Lorain County.
Doctors from both medical direction
programs spoke, including lELCEA's Dr.
Daniel Walsh who was adamant that nol
all patients had to be transported to the
new freestanding emergency department
(ED)....
While there appears to bo a general
consensus that the now ED is adequately
staffed and equipped to handle "non critical" medical issues such as broken bones
and stitches, paramedics and AECC representative differ on whether which, if any,
critical care patients should be transported
to the new center.
Paramedic and training officer John
Reitz opened the session questioning
whether the center would reduce overall
transport time since many patients will
need to be retransported to fully equipped
hospitals.

Left-behind blue bags jeopardize BFFs recycling contract
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
Sheffield Lake's city administration is
considering bidding out its contract for its
refuse collection, or at least blue bag rocyclablcs collection, rather than an automatic renewal of Drowning-Ferris Industries'
(BFI) contract when it runs out this fall.
A rash of loft-behind rccyclablos and
yard waste has brought the city to 'his
point despite the fact Uiat six years' worth
of renewed BFI contracts has rewarded the
city with Lorain County's second-lowest
Rite for refuse collection among cities.
"DFI's service has boon slipping,"
Son-ice Director Uill Gardner told city
council on June 28. "We may have lo put
that contract out for a 'blitz bid' of the collection companies when it expires. Or we
may have to find another company just lo
pick up the recyclables. BFI is becoming
loss and less 'blue bag friendly.' We want
to continue our outstanding recycling
program, which has brought us a lot of
benefits through recycling grants."
Gardner asked all residents whose
blue-bagged recyclables or clear-baggod
yard waste has been left behind on Friday
garbage days to call the service department
at 04Q-B140. The service department will
relay the information to BFI, and supervisors will come back to the city and collect
the ignored refuse with pick-up trucks.
"BFI's response to residents' calls
about frequently ignored recyclables
and yard waste has been poor," Gardner
said. "The company's response has been
much better when the city calls than
when residents do."
At the July 5 meeting of council's roads,
drains, water, sewer and refuse committee
meeting, Gardner told the members that
Lorain County Solid Waste Management
Director Dan Uillmau is looking into
putting groups of communities together for
pooled negotiations with refuse collection
companies. But Gardner said he was reluctant to risk the city's currently low rate for
refuse collection for what could possibly
end up being a higher rate in :i pooled
negotiation.
"Wo may have to renegotiate with BFI,"
Gardner said. "Although the low rate we
have now is the result of extending BFI's
contract over a six-year period rather than
renegotiating. But it looks like wo may bo
better off to split the blue bag portion of
that contract off to someone else."

Avon Police Chief John Vilagi
echoed similar sentiments.
"If we can't find the residents and
it adds to our response time and it
increases a delay, it could be bad,"
Vilagi said. "We have had a number of
incidents whore wo couldn't find
houses. These reflectors will make it
so much easier. The safety forces
would like to see everyone use them."
The new reflectors are available at
the Senior Center (3G78G Detroit
Road) and cost $10. Members of Avon
Seniors Inc. aro .quick to point out
that this is not a fund-raising effort on
the part of the organization.
"The fee is to cover the cost of the
sign," Avon Seniors Treasurer Bob
Fedor said. "Anyone in the community'can purchase a reflector. You. do
not need to be a senior. We are simply
providing a much-needed service to
help iho safety forces find people in
an emergency,"
The reflective address signs 'are
clearly visible a't night, as well as in_
daylight. Each sign is pro-drilled with'
four holes (one in each corner) so that
residents can mount the sign vertically or horizontally. Hardware varies,
but the group suggests two stainless,
steel screws to prevent rusting.
Seniors unable to hang the sign can
call the center for assistance.
"Anyone wishing to order a sign
can pick up an application at the center," Allen said. "We have the reflector plaques and numbers available
and all they have to do is put the
number on the sign and hang it. It's
another effort to make the community
safer."

with a Modified Rezoning Analysis conducted by professional planner Albert J.
Dispenza Jr. The document references
the city's Master Plan and concludes
that "In fact, the Master Plan's recommendations favor an expansion of commercially used land in the vicinity of
the intersection of SR 83 and Detroit
Road, especially, it focuses on the
encouragement of a central business
district in the French Creek area which
is (or was, in 1992) centered at the intersection of SR Gil and Detroit Road.
During the July 5 work session,
Romes outlined five basic elements for
whether or not a property should be
rezoned. Health, and safety of local residents was the first point raised. Other
considerations, he said, were whether
the new development follows the intent
of the city's master plan; whether traffic
Row would be negatively impacted;
whether the letter of the law of rezoning
is followed; and, lastly, whether or not
the plan enhances the economic and
aesthetic future of Avon. "
"The city should seize the moment
in the downtown corridor of Avon,"
Romes proclaimed. He was quick to add
that his inclusion of a traffic study, the
results of which were not yet available,
' was the difference between his proposal
and that of Schafcr Development's
recently denied rozoning request.
Romes told council to consider several aspects of his proposal. The project,
he said, would bring 250 jobs to the aroa
once the shopping center was at full tenant capacity. Tax revenues from those
"to establish new
standards for further
relnil development
in the French Creek
District."
John Slagter,
attorney for Lake
Point Construction,
struck a nerve with
council on July 5
when he said that
Avon's 1992 master
plan is "outdated."
He wont on to say
that the "parcel (of

Ward 3 councilman Tun Nickuin said
that "because a developer comes to us

it (the development) just doesn't fit hero.
Where do we stop [the rezoningl?" He
added that he will "by God, fight to keep
the city center where it is."
Jack Turza, resident and owner of
property at 2200 Center Road, has lived
in the area for more than 50 years. He said
there are senior citizens living in several
homes (described by Romes as "tattered")
that would be demolished by Romes for
the retail complex. He wondered what
would happen lo his property value if the
land was rezoned for commercial use.
"I have put a lot of time and effort in
my property, and I hale to see it taken
down the sink if this rezoning happens," he said July 5.
Julius summed up council's feelings
on July 5 (except for those of Dennis
McBride, Ward 2 councilman, who said
earlier in the meeting that he is "in favor
of this rezoning") by emphasizing that
"the idea that Avon has to change...I
don't subscribe to that [idea)."

their daily operations. Again, it was their
right to make an entirely independent
decision, but tills is not a case of deciding
who's working what shift or if new uniforms are needed. This is the type of decision mat affects the first line of defense the
public will meet when a medical emergency arises. It affects the decisions those
paramedics may, or may not be able to
make while dealing with a potentially lifesaving situation. It's exactly the type of situation that although the rules say they may
not need to be asked for their opinion—
still should be asked for their opinion.
Since this story's begininng one thing is
clear: The public, and worse yet the paramedics, are confused as to what the new
procedures were. They had no issues with
the old protocol, were comfortable with
the procedures and decisions they were
making. As a resident who may someday
require their services, it's scary to think I
could be under the care of paramedics who
may be forced into following" procedures
they are not comfortable with, or worse
yol, they feel may result in inferior care.
Ultimately, the decision as to how this
story ends hi Avon Lake rests with Mayor
Bcrner and Fire Chief Grizzcll. Council
members, paramedics, the public and your
local newspaper are asking for a solid evaluation of the now protocol to determine if
in fact it is the right choice. If it is, terrific.
If not, better to find out before it's too late.
Give the paramedics a chance to provide
some input on this matter. This goes
beyond heirarchies and final says. It surpasses determining who Is the boss and
who has to listen to whom.
A lot of the mess Avon and Avon Lake
have gotten themselves into could have
been avoided if both fire departments'
front line personnel were kept in the communication loop. If there's one thing I've
learned over the years, when communication levels drop, the level of suspicion
grows exponentially and then spreads like
a fire that no department will ever put out.
And on a different note...In last week's
editorial regarding Avon Council, we took
a couple of pokes at council members
including Larry Hoekstra. I'll give Hoekstra
this: Despite his.age and "life inexperience," he doesn't lack in diplomacy and
professionalism unlike at least one of his
more "life experienced" counterparts
whom I'll call "That Councilperson." This
person has openly criticized The PRESS
claiming "conflicts of interests" after we
did not support council's stance on the
proposed bus garage. Oddly, That Councilporson admitted to me he/she would
not bo so openly critical if The PRESS had
taken council's side on the bus garage.
Oh, grow up already.
Don't just swelter, have summer fun at Community Days

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hoekstra clarifies
To the Editor:
I became involved in public service for
one reason: To listen to the citizens of
Avon and to vote my conscious no matter
the political implications. Most of you
reading this letter probably have some
familiarity with the controversy surrounding the proposed school bus garage in
Avon. Behind the scenes your elected officials have been misrepresenting the truth
and twisting the facts to make their position look better. Though I do strongly
believe that everyone is trying to do what
is best for the city, I question whether tho
end justifies the means. I would like to
take this opportunity to clarify a few facts
and make my position well understood.
At the beginning of May, the Avon
Board of Education requested an amendment to its special use permit that would
allow them to build both a bus garage and
storage area for 42 school buses in the front
of the Heritage' Nordi School on Detroit
Road. Over the course of the next several
meetings, discussions were had regarding
the site proposed by the school district, as
well as the possibility of finding another
suitable site. At the meeting in mid-May,
city council and the school board decided
that it would be easier to discuss Uie pros
and cons of all possible sites in a smaller
group, a less formal sotting and in a meeting that only dealt with the issue of a
school bus garage (as opposed to a full
council meeting agenda). In order to do
this, I appointed a special committee of
Uiree council members to meet with two
school board members at the Heritage
library. This special committee met once
for two hours before a member of the
school board requested we end the
meeting and schedule another. Shortly
.after this meeting, the school board sent
out a letter stating that they felt they had
made their position known and they
simply requested an up or down vote
from council. This letter was the last
communication the school board had
with city council before.we voted.
After the vote,-your school board
decided to pass a resolution to go forward
with the bus garage despite the fact that
such a resolution was in clear violation of
the city's zoning laws. Following -this
move by the school board, city council
voted 6-0 to file for injunctive relief to
enforce the zoning laws of Avon. I would
expect council to file an injunction if any
individual or group blatantly disregarded
the laws of the city and continued with a
project that was not legal. In a loner signed,
by the Avon Board of Education, I was
accused of calling the school board fiscally
irresponsible for not moving the bus garage
lo Schneider Court. I did not make a statement of this nature, but I do believe the
school board is being fiscally irresponsible
by cutting communication with cily council and for intentionally violating the laws
of the Cily of Avon, f do not believe cily
council would support a full-blown lawsuit against the school district; I certainly
would not support such an action. However, I did, and will continue to support •
enforcement of Avon's laws.
I voted against the location proposed
by Ihe school board not because I was
opposed to it, but because I Uiink it was
possible that a bettor site could bo found. If
possible, I_ would like to avoid placing 42
big yellow school buses in the front of a
very nice school that lias beautiful landscaping. If possible, I would like to avoid
placing a bus garage and bus storage facility in a residenlially zoned neighborhood.
The city never had a preferred site but did
offer, among other tilings, to lease property
at Schneider Court or SR Oil to the school
board at the cost of SI per year for 50 years.
These sites may or may not have proven to
be better locations than what the school
board proposed but I cannot, in good
faith, vote in favor of something without
all options being considered. 1 voted
against Ihe Heritage location because
the school board refused to consider
alternatives and refused lo have further
discussions on the issue.
I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with tho events that have transpired thus far. You elected your city council and your school board lo compromise
and discuss amongst each other, not to hire
lawyers lo argue in court. This battle is an
expense that the taxpayers of Avon should

Avon's failure of leadership
To the Editor:
The conflict pitting Avon City Council on one side, and planning commission and the board of education on the
.other side represents a failure of leadership in Avon.
What do we expect of our leaders?
Leaders control the use of resources,
people and money, to advance a common
purpose. We expect them to set aside personal agendas to allocate those resources
for the good of the whole community.
In terms of local government, there can
be no higher purpose than the safety and
education of our children.
• In this instance, Avon City Council has
taken the conflict to court and has allocated resources, our tax dollars as well as the
expert time of the law director, to oppose
the board of education and planning commission over the location of a garage for
the school buses that carry our children.
The board of education will have lo
respond by spending school dollars for its
lawyers to tight city council in court. Ultimately, a dccision-meant for locally elected bodies-will he made by the courts. Of
course, while the decision will be taken
out of local hands, local Avon tax dollars
will be spent on both sides of tho conflict.
The board of education is charged with
making wise decisions over the use of
school dollars to advance the education of
our children and determined that a location on Detroit Road for a school bus
garage is the best approach. Planning
commission is charged with determining whether proposed developments
comply with the planning and zoning
requirements and whether the proposals
arc in the long term interest of a our
community. Planning commission
approved the board of education
proposal for a school bus garage.
City council, with no authority over
school funds and no authority over planning, is attempting to block the construction of the bus garage on Detroit, claiming
thai ils judgment is superior to the judgment of the board of education and the
planning commission.
Neither side acted in our interests, as
attempts to resolve tho conflict failed. The
school board defied council and the battle
has now shifted to Lorain County
Common Picas Court.
Soon, the Court will rule and-with
funding from the taxpayers-one side can
claim victory over the other.
But we need to'remember that il is a
hollow victon- when our elected leadership fails our children.

Where's the fun?
To the Editor:
My name is Rachael Mears. I'm a 14year-old girl going into her. freshman year
of high school this upcoming school year
at Avon Lake High School. I've been
making it through this summer for a
month now, and it's already getting dull. In
Avon Lake, there is nothing you can do to
have any fun. The only tilings in this town
are numerous parks, where, as upcoming
high schoolers, aren't very amusing anymore. We have the Avon Lake Municipal
Pool, but you can only go swimming so
many times before you get bored of it. And
as for "The Cut," it's only going to be so
long before a boat and a swimmer collide,
not to mention the constant sky-high bacteria level and undertows. The Youth Center is, and excuse my blunt way of saying
this, basically a psychiatric ward with four
walls and a TV. The activities they try to
start up there are always irritating and
overrun by elementary school children as
well. When "Liquid Therapy" started a
Teen Night for kids to hang out at, my
friends and I were all so excited that we
may actually have an event that we can
actually enjoy nnd have some fun at, and
almost immediately it was shut down by
the cily for being "inappropriate." It just
seems that every time something entertaining pops up in this town, it's shut down for
some unknown reason. As someone who
is 14, with no license or way of transportation but by our parents or bikes, skateboards, etc., il makes it really difficult to go
somewhere and have a good time. So the
fact is, we constantly have to leave our
hometown just lo find something to do for
a couple hours. It's ridiculous. I just hope
someone reads Ibis and realizes that you're
Ihe one Inking away all our freedom in this
lown, and we need something to amuse us
out here, because it can only be so long
before teens in this town get so bored out
of minds that we start getting into more
trouble. Maybe this can open someone's
eyes lo how isolated from the world we
feel we arc in this town. Thanks.

Please take a minute to hear from those of

When you live in front/side /behind a
bus garage and you dare to open your windows early on a summer morning your
ears are assaulted with the raucous noise
of dozens of buses idling. Uie dank smell of
their burning fuel, and the obnoxious
beeping as they are backing up. I can only
imagine how these things would be amplified as they carry across the green space
surrounding the school. After you have the

quiet, peaceful mornings and hello to
planning life around the school bus
schedule and ugly strip malls.

LETTERS, from paga 7
your own driveway (or development) due
to the long lino of buses blockading the
street in both directions. Imagine having to
plan your day around the bus schedule so
you can make certain you are able to make
an appointment on time. Everyday. All
week Nine.months a year.
This is what will happen to all those in
the developments and homes around
Avon Heritage if the school board builds
their bus garage in front of the school. And
then what happens as the City of Avon
grows and more buses are required-will
they build another garage opposite this
one so that when you pull into the school
you drive through two maintenance
garages? That is a pretty picture with double the noises, smells and congestion.
The bottom line is that the buses are
going to be moved (and we who live in
front of Avon Middle School are thankful)
but be forewarned if they place this monstrosity in your front/back/side yard. Call
the school board president. Angle Marsiglia, today at 937-4680 and ask her to
resume the talks they cut off with the city
regarding the bus garage location. Also,
call city hall today for your city council
representative's phone number (937-7800)
and let them you know support their
desire to look at all the available pptionsnot just the Heritage location.
For those of you who said, "I don't live
near the school, it has nothing to do with
me" keep in mind that the a legal precedent will be set to support any developer
who demands city council to rozone from
residential to commercial to put a ugly
strip mall in your front yard. Let's just take
dozens of Lorain Road strip malls in North
Olmsted and drop them in at the intersection of 83 and Detroit. Might as well
mention your thoughts on that to council, too, when you call. Our city council
is acting wisely to look at all the options
and that should be commended instead
of allowing the school board to fund this
eyesore with your most recent tax levy
increase-that's right-all Avon homeowners will be paying for it!
We need to act now to support council
New ER in Avon
To the Editor:
I have been reading the letters and articles pertaining to the freestanding emergency room in Avon. I was in the lire and
emergency medical service for 28 years; 19
of that I spent as chief of my department. I
was in the first EMT pilot program in Ohio
and the 'first paramedic class hi Lorain
County. I was on die international Ohio
fire chiefs and Lorain County emergency
medical committees for 18 years and on
the committee that worked to pass the
trauma bill in Ohio.
My point is that I know of what I speak.
First I understand the concern of the
people that are doing the job every day. I
also understand the concerns of the chiefs
who take ultimate responsibility for the
operations of these emergency squads.
This is not the first Freestanding emergency room in Lorain County. There was
one at the former St. Joseph's in Lorain that
opened several limes until they closed it,
but stayed in operation for several years.
Many departments took patients to this
ER and many patients were then transported to Community Health Partners,
since they could not admit patients at the
ER at St. Joe's since it was not a hospital.
Many of the people that worked there
now xvork at St. John West Shore. That
operation was very controversial at the
lime. We were told by our medical director
and the stale hospital board that this was a
licensed facility; it was proper to take
patients to St. Joe's. And if we passed the
facility we may be liable.
There are many emotions thai come
into play here. But in the objective view,
these facilities, their processes and the
training they give must be certified by the
State of Ohio, the same as all programs of
its kind in Ohio.
If they do not meet the regulation they
cannot provide the services. Again I can
understand the emotions from all those
This year,
summer is our treat.
who's reason for doing the jobs they do
because they want the bust possible systems for their citizens.
But I think that this is a new idea to
many people involved, but the question
should be asked "Does this program and
the services it will provide to the lire
departments and citizens of the communities have certification from the proper
agencies that review all training and facilities in Ohio, meet the standards or not?" I
believe that an objective eye should be
used to view this proposed system. I know
many of the firefighters and all the chiefs
involved in these areas. And I can toll you
none of them would operate outside of llio
standards for emergency medical services
delivery set by the State of Ohio, not
because of liability but because this is not
a job, this is their life. And part of thai is
delivery of the best service they can. Perhaps a committees made up of representatives from all the factions should be initiated to review the program and its compliance in an objective manner. The decision
process must be based on facts and not
feelings, especially not in stories of gloom
and doom by any party. The focus must be
what is best for the citizens of the area and
not who are my friends. And finally to
comment on the letter that made the suggestion that money may have been the reason for this. Who pays your salary and we
do not have any non-profit hospitals here,
the inference was very much out of line.
Don't ever forget that your job is to serve
your citizens even if it is unpopular with
you. personally. God bless you all and may
everyone go home each day.

Being a role model 101
To the Editor:
As a mother of tlirce sons and a first
grade teacher, I take my job as a "role
model" very seriously. However, I was
very disappointed to see an umpire and a
coach at a minor league Avon Lake
baseball game not realizing the importance
of their jobs as "role models" to the 9 and
10-year-old boys they work with. I don't
know either of these gentlemen, but based
on their behavior, perhaps they should be
reminded of what a role model is. Here are
several dictionary definitions of a role
model:
1. A person who someone admires and
whose behavior they try to copy.
2. A person who serves as an example
of the values, attitudes and behaviors
associated with a role.
3. Someone whose character, life and
behavior is taken as a good example to
follow.
These men need to remember the
importance of their roles and that everything they do and say leaves an imprint on
tlie young men under their charge. In the
future I hope the league takes a closer look
at the "role models" they choose to teach
our children.

council at-large race
AVON LAKE
By Lori E. Switaj. ,
Avon Lake resident -William (Bill)
"Zaubi has pulled petitions to run for
'city council," making-him the eighth
resident to stop forward for three contested at-large seals in the Nov. B election! The political newcomer has been
vocal'in the past year, aiming criticism
at city council and the mayor for
approving a tax abatement deal with
Herman "Bucky" Kopf to redevelop
the Aqua Marine property1. He said ho
is running on a platform of bringing
fiscal responsibility and integrity back
to council and the City of Avon, Lake.
Zaubiralohg wiuVAvon resident Gerald Phillips and council-at-largo candidate Keith Davey, led a recall on the vote
to approve the project along with a recall
attempt of Mayor Rob Bonier. Included
in the recall petition .of Berner, • Zaubi
claimed Borner no longer represented
the people.
If elected, Zaubi said he didn't expect
the past to pose problems with Berner,
saying "we're all professionals."
Zaubi, who lists himself ns "pro
business," is a computer salesperson
with over 25 years in the computer
business.
He would like to institute a local
version of Colorado's TABOR [Taxpayers
BUI Of Rights) law mat says the state's
expenditures cannot exceed, within a
certain percentage, the funds generated
by taxes.
"It would be like a citywide TABOR
law," Zaubi said. "One of my goals, if
elected, would be to tighten ths city's
belt on spending."
The candidate was critical of some"
aspects of city spending as well as tho
:
way the Krebs Road assessments were
handled, citing a lack of communication.
:Zaubi also expressed concern over's
suggested charter amendment to place
time limits on recall attempts. Presently
there is no limit.
"We shouldn't restrict the rights of
the people," he said.
Weighing in on tho refurbishing
attempts on Park Hall hr Veterans Park,
also known as the Folgcr Home, Zaubi

restaurant similar to Strongsvilla's

wrong time to put it on tho ballot. Either
you have to find tin acceptable level or
niarkul it correctly."
Craciis said tho levy obviously didn't
receive the support of tliu public and spoculatod butler communication was neoclcd.
"Tho board has to communicate with
citizens in a much better way than thuy aro
doing now," Cracas said.
Tho former teacher said Iiu was
surprised to luarn the school district is
spending S1Q.QOO for a survey on public
opinion and levies.
"A survey is nice, but they've laid off
some people," Cracas said. "That's a lot of
money. We can do our own opinion polls
for less."
He said if elected, lie would also
seek an end to the hard-to-attend
meetings. In the past several years,
the school board has held several
meetings at off-hour times including a
widely criticized 7 a.m. meeting.
Cracns said it was important for
meetings to be more accommodating
to the public and not only school
board members.
"If board members can't make (regularly scheduled) meetings, they should
reconsider being on the board," ho said.
Cracas has never run or served on a
school board, although ho has extensive
experience in thu field of education.
Ho spent 34 years as a toucher; 20 of
lliosc! in Avon Lake including instruction iit Avon Lake High School and what
was then junior high school. Cracas, a
government teacher, earned several
leaching awards.
From 1903-1991 he served on Avon
Lake City Council. In 2001, Cracas
sought to fill the mayoral seat vacated
by Vince Urbin, earning 18.55 percent
of voles in an eight-way race that saw
Rob Berner win with 20:33 percent of
the votes.

Former 'Fame' and screen star is newest resident
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
One of Sheffield Lake's newest residents, Billy Hufsey, is a man of many talents and pursuits. The ebullient Hufsey is
an actor, singer, dancer, musician, com*
poser, motivational spoakor, real estate
investor, developer and entrepreneur.
Currently,' Hufsey is focusing on his
development company, Hupper Properties, and his non-profit community action
organization, Steppin' Up.
Steppin' Up's goat is to inspire and aid
improvement in communities and 3,600
schools nationwide.
"'Stoppin' Up' gives economically
challenged children scholarships anp
other kinds of help," Hufsey said. "Our
volunteers work with troubled, at-risk
children. We're also involved in helping
communities improve themselves."
Hufsey has met with SheffieldSheffield Lake Schools Superintendent Will Folger, and is eager to bring
his Steppin' Up program to Brookside
High School. His book, entitled "Steppin 1 Up," is not for sale, but is given
away to students and other participants in the program.
Hufsey is perhaps best known for his
seven-year run as the singing, dancing
high school heartthrob Christopher
Donolon on the 80s TV show "Fame."
That series is still on the air throughout
the United States and Europe. He starred
as Emilia on "Days of Our Lives" and has
been featured in a dozen other TV shows,
seven movies and 14 musicals, including
10 touring companies across North America and Europe, and four on Broadway.
His Las Vegas act is also featured at corporate events in New York, Los Angeles,
Chicago and across the country, as he
doubles as a motivational speaker. He
promotes Steppin' Up enthusiastically
wherever he goes.
Hufsey, a guy who works everywhere,
could live anywhere. He chose to settle in
Sheffield Lake because he likes the "mellowness" of the community and his backyard view of Lake Erie.
"Why
not Sheffield Lake?" Hufsey
said. "It's a beautiful life. My house is in
a gorgeous spot. After 25 years living in
New York and Los Angeles, this is very
mellow. People are very friendly. I like
everyone I've met here. And I'm still very
close to my family, most of whom still
live in Brook Park, where I grew up."
Hufsey lived in Avon Lake the past
Billy Hufsey in his backyard.
two years, but wasn't able to buy a
house on the water. He still-owns his
house in Avon Lake, now a Hupper
Properties rental.
Hufsey wrote his first song in the sixth
grade, began playing guitar in junior high,
saxophone in high school and trumpet
and drums shortly thereafter. He was
simultaneously becoming an accomplished athlete: He lettered in high school
football and became an undefeated welterweight Golden Gloves boxer, as well as
a two-time State kickboxing champ.
When a hyperextendcd elbow
dashed his 1980 Olympic boxing
dream, Hufsoy turned back to his first
love,' the arts. He took dance, voice and
acting lessons, and graduated from the
Music Institute of Technology. "Fame"
was his big break, but Hufsey has maintained his long and successful career in
the entertainment business due to his
multitude of creative talents.
That role on 'Fame' led to a sustained
career on stages, sound stages and in
recording studios. Billy's 90s dance single, "Contagious," for Vision Records,
was met with enthusiastic response. He's
now sot to release Ms first complete CD of
original pop/rock songs entitled, "Right
This Time" on Zoey Records.
"I'm a very lucky fellow to be able to
do all the things I like to do and live
where I want to," Hufsey said.

Invasion of gypsy moths gains attention of agricultural department
AVON LAKE
By Lori E, Switaj
The infestation of gypsy moth worms
on several Avon Lake streets has garnered
the attention of the state's agricultural
department who will be coming to Hie city
this week or next to determine the extent
of the problem.
Sharon Korney and Sarah Mitchell of
Williamsburg Drive said in late Juno, trees
along their street were covered with what
appeared to bo caterpillars, but were actually gypsy moth worms eating oak trees
and the street was covered in the worms'
waste.
"My (Pin Oak) trees are 50 years old
and we don't want to lose our trees," Kornoy said. "They're in all of my trees."
Korney said she didn't have a problem
last year and had she known what to look
for this year, she could have had Uie trees
sprayed earlier. And although the moths
are heading into the pupa stage, rending a

Burke said a shortage in stale funding
Part of the problem is the lack of aware- may be an issua but if so, residents can

contract with an approved aerial applicalast year she saw "a few here and there" tor for S22 per acre. Typically, Burke said,
spraying is done when the caterpillars are
small, usually in lato May. Spraying now
is not an option.
"By now the damage has been done,"
he said.
Obvious signs of an infestation, in
addilion to the worms, are trees with no
leaves or with leaves that have holes in
them. The program usually involves
spraying of a fairly benign natural enzyme
in the pre-dawn hours.
The women also contacted Mayor
Rob Berncr about the problem, who
addressed the issue at the July 11 council meeting.
"On June 29 Allen Seaward (with
the state) came out to Williamsburg and
Brandon drives," Berner said. "He says
wo do not have large enough masses to
warrant spraying. Seaward and other
representatives from the state will come
back in lalo August or September and
determine if something should be done
based on the egg mass count."

Caring hands create U.S. flag for troops serving in Iraq
AVON
By Julie A. Short
Support for the U.S. troops appears to
transcend all ages. Children participating
in Playground Days at Northgate Park,
sponsored by the Avon Parks Department, created an extra special craft last
week as their hands were used to make
an American flag that will be sent overseas. •
; - • •
•.
"My cousin, Ryan Harris, is in the
Marines in Iraq," Playground Days Counselor Melanie Spiroff, 16, said. "We were
asked if anyone knew of any soldiers that
were serving overseas and I immediately
thought of him. The kids really enjoyed
the project."
-
Each week during Playground Days,
coordinators Libby Landers and Shauna
Neigh, along with several Avon High
School students who serve as counselors,
create themes and develop crafts and
activities thai relate to the week's theme.
"Earlier this month was American
Spirit Week and we wanted to do something for .the troops," Landers said.
"Patriotism is ongoing. We wanted to
show the troops we care by making them
a flag. We are also going to be e-mailing
them."
The flag includes handprints from
each of the children participating in the
Playground Days. The counselors' hands
make up the blue portions of the flag, and
the children created the red stripes.
"It made me happy to make the flag,"
Sloven Angyalosi, 12, said. "They (soldiers) want to come home."
Tori Russian, 8, was also happy to
make iho flag and said that it was important to keep remembering the soldiers.
Approximately 20-25 children attend
Playground Days, which runs Mondays
through Thursdays through Aug. 4 from
9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Children under the
age of 5 must be accompanied by a
responsible person over the age of 12.
Avon High School students Mimi Farrer, 16; Eric Martin, 16; Michelle Perry, 16;
Ryan Raider, 16; Nick Russian, 16 and
Spiroff servo as camp counselors making
crafts with the children and playing
games.
"I love the little kids," Farrcr said. "It
is fun coming up with the craft ideas and
watching the children create things."
Martin also enjoys working with the
kids and serving as a role model.
"The kids really look up to us," ho
said. "My aunt owns a daycare so I'm
used to being around kids. This is a lot of
fun."
This past week, the theme was fishing
and two representatives from Erie Outfitters in Sheffield came out to teach the
kids about fishing safety, and how to
catch and release. A trophy was givon to
the child who caught to biggestfishduring the fishing contest.
:
According to Donna Russian, Avon's
Recreation Coordinator, Playground
Days is in its second year.
- ''It's a free program," she said. "It's our
way of giving back to the community."

Hv Julie A. Short
/The city council race, although months away, is
celling crowded as a number of area residents havo
beRun pulling petitions to begin the process of run!-njng for office. In Avon, all seven council seats will
be decided, as well as the mayor's seat.

Councilman, Jack Kilroy is attempting to regain his

•.Dennis McBride has also pulled petitions.
ix -There are a few newcomers to the council race
'this year, including Avon business owner, Liz

'ruled out going on the ballot for an at-large position. '•'. . '•' • - "

Adamson owns OmniAccess, a sales and marketing
company and Poar Tree Gallery, an art gallery slated to open in Olde Avon Village in October.
"As a resident and business owner in the city, I
have, an obvious interest in assuring that we preserve what makes Avon such a great place to live,"
she said. "As well as balance that with the industrial, commercial and retail businesses that will provide the economic tax base that we will need in the
future."
Long-time Avon resident Craig Witherspoon has
confirmed he will seek one of the three council-atlargo positions on city council.
"I fetil I can do a good job in terms of smoothing
the growing pains of this city," Witherspoon said.
"I've had businesses in town for over 30 years and
I've seen a lot of changes. You really can't stop the
growth in town, but you can manage it. Growth is
going to happen. People are moving to Avon
because it's a great place to live and tho schools are
great."
When asked his views regarding commercial
growth in town and rezoning, Witherspoon noted
that each case must be looked at individually,
"It has to be analyzed case by case," he said.
"Then you have to ask 'is it best for the people of
Avon and for the community as a whole." "
Witherspoon owns Carpets Direct and is a
licensed optician. He is a graduate of Lorain County Community College. He has served on the city's
Charter Review Commission and has worked on
several levy^campaigns for the school district.
"I have been president of the Avon Athletic
Boosters, as well as the Avon Lions Club," he said.

city as a whole. When I moved to Avon, I knew I
wanted to be involved, i want to put down my roots

parks system."
Flanigan likes the direction the city is headed
and wants to keep things on the same path.
"We're seeing a lot of new merchants and businesses coming into the city and want to see that
continue. I'm all for growth, as long as it benefits
the residents. The more businesses we bring in, the
lower our taxes will be."

Part I: Ice cream stands: the hot spots to gotor cool treats
By Melissa Linebrink
Editor's note; This is the first of a two-part senas higli'
lighting ice cream stands in our readership area. The
PRESS readers will bo able to reminisce about the days
whan a gallon of ice crea/n cost loss than an ico crtiam
cone costs today. So, sit hack, relax and who knows,
maybe after reading this story you iw'// soon find yourself
at one of the ice cream stands in your city.
"I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR
ICE CREAM."
Ono of the more popular ways to cool off during the
dog days of summer is by licking an ico cream cone or
slurping down a refreshing milkshake.
In Avon, the hot spot is Avon Dairy TVeat located at
37175 Colorado Ave, or as it used to ho called by many,
"The Lick."
Former Avon resident Deb Weisgerber (nee Riedel)
reminisces "When we would get straight A's on our report
card, we were treated to a banana split at the Avon Dairy
TVeat. If not, we just got a cone." Weisgerber now teaches
home economics at Defiance High School.
Woisgerber, who formerly resided on Stoney Ridge in
Avon, said she and her siblings would often ride the 2.5 to
3 miles to The Lick in the summer because "it was the
place to go."
. - "It was worth it to ride our bikes there," she said with
a laugh during a recent phono interview.
Dietmar Waehner's family moved to Avon in 1952 from
Germany and lived in a house across the street from Avon
Dairy TVeat, He said locals also knew it as "The Whippy
Dip." Waehner has not visited Avon for a number of years,
but remembers the last time he was in Ohio the building
looked the same as it did back in the 1950s.
"On Friday and Saturday nights. The Lick was the
place you went to hang out after 'crusin' around," he said.
."There was no other place in Avon to go and back then,
everyone went there."
Waehner, who now resides in Roswell, Ga. with his
wife Marlene (nee Syphers) also from Avon, said an ice
cream cone used to cost 10 cents for a small and 25 cents
for a large, and if a person wanted a sundae with all the
toppings, it would cost an extra nickel.
.' • "We used to say, 'We want a whole nickel's worth of
toppings on a sundae and it would be a lot," Waehner said
during a recent phono interview.
, Waohner's best friend. Dob Shollon, formerly of Avon
who now resides in North Ridgeville, said he remembers
ordering chocolate milkshakes at The Lick. Shelton added
that he can still visualize many teenagers hanging out in
the gravel lot next to the Avon Dairy Treat.
"We'd sit on the tailgates and watch the other kids
drive by and even the police didn't mind because they
knew all of us were in one location," Shelton said.
Not only does Shelton have fond memories of Avon
Dairy Treat, but so does his wife, Nancy (nee Cough).
Nancy worked at the Avon Dairy Treat under the current
owners Don and Jean Reynolds for two years, inlQGSand
1969.
Nancy remembers training to serve ice cream.
"Every cone had to be weighed to make sure we didn't
give too much ice cream," she said.
And, she remembers the regulars who would make a
stop at The Lick nearly every day for their favorite treat."
Aloysius Schneider purchased the lot where the Avon
Dairy TVeat sits today on Oct. 28,1955. However, the day
Aloysius bought the land was not a happy day for the
Schneider family.
According lo Aloysius' son, Clayton of Avon, his dad
bought the land at 3 p.m. and was dead by
6 p.m.
.. .
_OUR_ STAMP
.WHEN YOU INSURE MOKE. YOU SHOULD
"My dad died at the age of 57. Ho was getting stressed
out with his job and wanted something new for his lire,
but he never got to enjoy it," Clayton said.
To carry on llielr dad's dream of owning an tee cream
stand, Clayton and his mother and siblings took over the
business. Clayton and his brothers built the building that
is still used today and his mother, Bertlia worked behind
the scenes of the stand and his sisters, Virginia and Evelyn
were the operators.
The Avon Dniry Treat opened in 195G and the Schneider family continued to run the family business until
Bertlia passed away in 1960. At that time, another entrepreneur purchased it, but sold it after two years when the
Reynolds took ownership.
Looking back, Clayton is pleased with the way his family started tlio business and how it has continued to bring
families together.
"It makes mo happy to know that my brothers and I
built a good building," Clayton said. "And, my mother
and sisters were good managers and knew how to work
and what, they were not sure of, they made up for in their
effort. They were a quick study."
Today, the Avon Dairy Treat continues to bo popular
place to go for ice cream, said its owner Jean Reynolds.
"The favorite part about my job is seeing small children
enjoy ice cream-lhey love the 'eyes' on the- cones," she
said.
The downsides of owning an ice cream stand are the
long hours and not having a lot of free time in the summer,
Reynolds said.
North Ridgeville's local "mom and pop" ice cream
stand, Dairy Grove on Center Ridge Road, has been in
business for nearly 50 years said its current manager, Dora
Papagianis. Her husband Nick and his brother, John Papagianis, own Urn business.
According to long-time North Ridgeville resident Lois
Sullivan, the first owner of Dairy Grovo was Larry Ford,
followed by John Waldecki, both of North Ridgeville. Ford
has since passed away. However, Waldccki met Ford and
bought the business from him and ran it as his own from
1904 lo 1994.
"The building was available and I always wanted to
own a business," Waldecki said. "My wife, Goldie, and I
worked every day along with a couple girls (we hired). We
wore hands-on, not behind-the-scene owners."
, North Ridgevillo resident Grace Malonc who lias lived
in the city since 1940, moved to her current home in 1951
which settles across from Dairy Grove.
"Teens would hang out there in die 1950s and 1960s
from 11 p.m. to midnight and I did not have air condition,
so when my windows were open, I heard all the commotion, but they were not wild teens. Dairy Grove was the
only place to go in North Ridgeville (to hang out)," Malone
said.
Malone said she remembers when Larry Ford made his
custard by hand.
'
.
"Larry only charged 5 cents for a cone and I could only
afford one cone for all of my kids, so on Sunday I bought
one and all the kids took a lick," Malono said with a laugh
as she reminisced about the old days.
The Papagianis family took over tlio Dairy Grove ice
cream stand 12 years ago, Dora said.
"It's a landmark in North Ridgeville," she said.
And she is right.
Fenik's Frozen Custard on SR 83 is new to Avon Lake.
On any given night, passersby on Center Ridge Road
can see the lines forming to get a tasty treat.
Recently, North Ridgevillo resident David Taylor took
his grandchildren there for an afternoon snack. His grandson, Miles Wayne, enjoyed a caramel sundae; his young
granddaughter, Jade Josie, preferred pineapple sherbet;
and his older granddaughter, Margeaux Wayne's favorite is
a dipped ico cream cone. As for David, he takes pleasure
iii a simple twist ice cream cone.
; ' ">"I usually bring the grandkids here," Taylor said.
Dora said Ford used to sell candy and popsicles when
he owned Dairy Grove. Today, Dairy Grove has a number
of frozen treats, as well as hamburgers and French fries,
among other food items. Dora said Dairy Grove was in
North Ridgeville long before Burger King and McDonald's.
In Avon Lake, Sally Fenik and her sister. Iris Micochero
are the owners of Fenik's Frozen Custard located at G84
Avon Beldcn Road. The custard stand is now to Avon
Lake, opening in April of this year.
Fenik's Frozen Custard is a family owned and operated
business that originally started in Akron.
. ,
"There are two stands owned by the family in the
Akron area and the they were looking to bring one to Avon
Lake and my husband said Avon Lake needed a ice cream
stand, so it worked out," Fonik said.
As with many now businesses, Fenik said there have
been stressful times, but having family who have gone
through opening an ice cream stand before has been help- ,
ful.
"The family was instrumental and we met with them
about a dozen times before we opened," Fenik said,
adding that while at ihe family ice cream stands they were •
able to gain hands-on experience.
•
.
• According lo Fenik, their frozen custard is made from a custard machine and is made fresh about every hour and
a half. They also serve hand-dipped ice cream. Decorated
in a 1950s theme, Fenik's Frozen Custard, which offers
inside seating, has received support from many residents.";
hi fact, what seems to intrigue patrons the most is an .

restaurant, Fenik said.
"Fenik's Frozen Custard is a place where families can
come in and socialize and reminisce about old times,"
Fenik said.

Rasko to attend national leadership
AVON LAKE
By Beth Mlady
Though his summer has been spent
following others on fairways and
greens as a caddy at Lakewood Country Club, Michael Rasko will showcase his ability to lead at American
University in Washington, D.C., as a
participant in the' upcoming National
Student
Leadership
Conference
(NSLC). The St. Ignatius High School
nth-grader will attend a 10-day U.S.
Policy, and Politics program in early
August. He is the son of Lynn and
Charlie Rasko of Avon Lake.
;
Rasko was anonymously nominated
anonymously for the program by one of
his high school teachers in recognition
.of academic excellence and potential
future leadership abilities. He is one of
only 8,000 gifted high school students
selected nationally, and from 45 countries around the world, to participate.
As an attendee of the program, he will
follow a self-created bill as it moves
from one step to the next in the political process. The effects of the media,
interest groups and public opinion on
law creation will also be explored.
NSLC's goal for students like Rasko,
as indicated an its web site, is to help
studenls "gain true insight into the
exciting world of United States policy
and politics." Rasko will have the
opportunity to create his own issue
advocacy campaign as well meet with
leading politicians and govern men I
experts. The NSLC program encourages "not only academic achievement,
but also diversity, cooperation and
social responsibility."
Rasko said that ho hopes to gain
"knowledge of the way our government works" from attending the conference. He also said he realized a long
lime ago that he was "interested
in...[political] issues more than other
kids [his] age." Rasko has not yet
decided on a career path but admitted
it may be politics.
Avon Lake Dentistry
conference
He said the most pressing issue
facing the United States is the national debt.
"We keep making tax cuts," Rasko
said, "hut we will have to pay for our
public services [sometime]." He also
said that today's "[high] gas prices are
a result of our not being able to drill
in Alaska" and that drilling in Alaska
to bolster U.S. supplies was an issue
that could have been resolved in
2001.
\Vilh these opinions, it is not hard
to understand why he feels that current government officials "are not
doing a good job." Perhaps he will be
able lo convoy that message when he
interviews Congressman Sherrod
Brown of Ohio's 13lh District during
the conference.
The Chicago-based NSLC is funded
by the National Student Leadership
Foundation and was created in 1909.

hard on that speech, I was stressing out about it for

Now we get to Thursday, more homework to do for
college. We are going to be giving our persuasive
speech next Friday. That is three school days. Also, it's
almost seven more hours of training, eating and in fact,
cleaning the restaurant.
One day, I believe this stressful feeling will leave
me. I'm sorry the audience to this column must read
something that is utterly non-sarcastic, but right
now, the stress is unbearable, which is something I
hope the audience will understand. Ever since graduating, the real world has hit me like a punch to the
face. Maybe I'm still getting used to the tons of
responsibility that has been added on since graduation. I can't hide behind high school anymore, and
it's scary. But, maybe I'll read this article in 10 years
and laugh, because I was once a kid, starting out and
making a path for herself. Maybe, then I'll be able to
truly understand that this world is not a cruel one,
but one that you must earn.
So, I think I'll go outside today, bring a nice glass of
diet pop, my favorite book, and sit and enjoy the beautiful day that the Lord has given me.

me. In retail I'd be forced to appeaso customers with blatant exaggerations of how good they look in whatever

paid to be on a roof, there's really not much reason to be
up on it. I don't have a clue why I still write for the The
PRESS when I work the kinds of hours I do; do you think
they actually pay me? Oh yeah, and a shout out to my
partner in crime George. That's alt.

Avon tops Avon Lake in Little League World Series border battle
AVON
By Ryan Gahagan
The Liltlo League World Series continued last week at
Veterans Park in Avon with a 9-10 year-old district tournament game between Avon and Avon Lake's 10-yenr-old
team. Though Avon earned the 8-2 victory, both teams
played an excellent game.
Things got off lo a slow start in the first inning for
Avon, but tilings picked up in the second. Brandon Linna
got on base with a walk. Ralph Smith followed with a single. Adam DeChant then smacked a two-run single that
scored Linna and Smith respectively. DeChant eventually
scored off a single by Bradford Dill lo close out the inning.
Brian Kelly led off the third with a walk. Dill did his
part again in the third with his own two-run single to
score Smith and Kelly.
Avon Lake, meanwhile, had trouble getting its offense
going as the team failed to score in the first three innings.
Avon Lake made some'noise in the fourth when Logan
Cherni .would land on base with a single. Cherni eventually scored on Cole Rosemarin's RBI double. That would
be it as the inning would end with Avon Lake down 5-1
after four innings.
Matt Reighard started off the fifth inning with a single
for Avon Lake. Brad Hamilton followed quickly with a
double that would have scored Reighard had he not been
thrown out at the plate thanks to a great play by the Avon
Avon girls fall in
tourney opener
AVON
By Matt Thorntoroft
The first girls fastpitch Softball team to ever represent the City of Avon in a Little League World Series
Tournament held its own.
"For our first tournament game, I think we performed well," Avon manager Doug Drennan said. "I'm
proud of the kids. It was a lot of fun."
Avon fell 13-8 to Tallmadge in the tournament
opener on July 5.
.
Avon held its own throughout most of the game
against a.bigger and more experienced Tallmadge
team. Down O-O at one point, Avon cut Tbllmutlge's
lead to 8-6 with a six-run rally in the bottom of the
fourth. Tallmadge answered with five'in the fifth to put
the game out of reach. Avon made a last gasp with a
pair of runs in the bottom of the' sixth, but it wasn't
enough.
Brittanie Fowler pitched all six innings for Avon..
Fowler struck out seven Tallmadge hitters and teamed
up with catcher Rachel Buckley on two crucial plays at
the plate.
Tallmadge's hitters, were patient, scoring a run in
each of the first three innings. Fowler limited what
they could get at bat on, but Tallmadge had her worn
out by the fourth. Tallmadge hitters rapped 11 hits, two
homers, two doubles a triple and six singles.
While Avon had trouble getting a bat against some
pretty fast Tallmadge pitches, they had no trouble
holding off the bad ones. Avon hitters coaxed 13 walks.
Emmary Sharer was hit by one pitch and walked twice
after grounding out in the bottom of the first. She
scored two runs.
Avon's only hit of the game belonged to Fowler,
who walked and scored twice. Rachel Rogers reached
base once, batted in a run and scored. Buckley walked
twice, scored and drove a run home. Holly Kraus
walked twice and scored. Bethany Walker drew two
walks and scored. Jess Hugen finished with a walk and
a RBI, Kerri Novokovic and Nicole Spaetzel both
walked.

defense. Hamilton would end up scoring. It was the only
run Avon Lake would get, leaving the score to 5-2 in favor
of Avon after five.
Avon sealed the game in the sixth with a bang when
Jack Poyle hit an R3I-triple to score Adam Barker who
walked. After rounding third, Poyle continued home
thanks lo some unfortunate ball handling by -Avon Laku.
Brendan Cannon also landed on base with a single and
eventually scored off a single from Jacob Belts.
Avon Lake just could not come up with anything In its
final at-bat. Groyson Rusher tried lo do his part with a single, bul he and his learn came up a bit short. Avon went on
to win 8-2.
,
.
Avon's Matt Weiitz pitched a stellar game and went on
lo strike out an impressive eight batters. Also contributing
to the win for Avon were Preston Olson and Mikey
MacCracken.
Avon Lake's pitchers included John Spirnak, who
pitched Uiree innings and struck out three, and Brad
Hamilton, who also pitched three innings. Hamilton
struck out five Avon hitlers. Jimmy Hessel, who went 1-3
with a single, also contributed along with Brian Moracz,
Matt Morissette, Zach Sharb, Hunter Tharp and Matt

Shoremen a hit at state championships
AVON LAKE
The 12U Diamond Sports Shoremen, a travel baseball team comprised of Avon Lake players, participated in tho 12U AA Ohio State Championship in
Cincinnati June 23-25.
The team held its own, going 3-1 overall. Diamond
went undefeated in its pool [3-0), winning all Uirec games
by an average score of 9-3.
The Shoremen defeated the Canal Winchester Indians
7-3 in game one, the Pickerington White Tigers 10-2
(mercy rule) in game two and the Perrysburg Merchants
10-4 in game three. Diamond entered the single-elimination round seeded fourth out of 36 teams. The Shoremen
fell 5-0 to a tough Pickerington Python team.
According to tcnin manager Bob Bock, ovary plnycr,
parent, and conch contributed to tho successful outcome
of the weekend.
The team is: Jay Seaton, Zack Wootton, Jeff Wozniak,
Blake Sopko, Malt Kohlcr, Ronnie Willoughby, Anthony
Warren, Kevin Seaman, Kyle Pisco, Kevin Morissette,
Ryan Rodgers and Tyler Beck.

2004 squad doubled the amount of wins [6-12) from the
previous season. They nearly doubled it again to finish
.500 this season (11-11)
"We had a couple of tilings that were nice achievements," Hamp said. "Prior to the new coaching staff, the
team had not won a Division I game in three years. My
first year there we won two Division I games. This year we
won five Division I games.
"We had a groat group of juniors in 2004 who worked
hard and understood where we wore going with tilings
this year. When their senior year came around, they were
able to avenge some of those lumps they took last year. We
were 20 seniors strong this year and they worked really
hard to help turn tilings around."
One player whose hard work paid off is Jack Ubbing
from Avon Lake. The long stick midfielder earned AllOhio first-team honors. Throe of his teammates also
earned All-Ohio awards. "Jack led the team in ground balls," Hamp said. "He
was instrumental in our possession game this year. You've
got to win face offs and win possession to win in lacrosse
and ho was instrumental in doing that and getting us the
ball."
Manip has quite a few honors from playing the sport
himself. He played for boarding school in Virginia called
Woodborry Forest, where he was part of a slate championship team.
"I've been involved with lacrosse since I was eight
years old," lie said. "I grew up in Annapolis, Maryland
which is a hotbed for lacrosse. I'm 42 years old now, so
I've been around the sport for years. Everybody played it
when I grew up. Nobody played little league in Annapolis,
Maryland. Everybody played lacrosse."
After graduating from Woodhurry Forest, I lamp continued to play at the collegiate lovel :it Ldiigh University,

at Ihe right price. An open mind and a
well thought out list of required and
desired features help you make your
decision by allowing more possibilities.
You will probably not find all the
desired criteria in one single home but
knowing what features are required
allows for easier compromising with the
wish list. This can still result in a very
satisfying purchase. Negotiation is a normal part of any real estate transaction,
especially if you have found a great
home a little further out than you

that sonic of the wish list features can be

Waiting for the mail, delivering a birthday suprise
. I currently .have one more-child
than I. anticipated. Not by accident,
but nonetheless; it's har.d to say
"enough" when you are having a family, and sometimes, you opl out too
late rather than too early. It's funny,
but I think I.would bo just as happy
having done either today.
. But as it stands, I have a 0-year-old
daughter who continues to grow up
with me firmly wrapped around hor'
finger. Because she will always be llie
baby of our family now, she has go'tton
away with more th'an the other kids. I
think it's because we are too tired to
care what happens anymore; the older
kids have worn us to the nub. Maybe
she's just outsmarting us.
One of my daughter's greatest '
thrills in life is going to the mailbox.
Every day, she hopes there's something for hor. Every day, nothing but
bills. I used to be able to pawn off old
magazines and flyers like they were
addressed to her,.but someone taught
hor to read and blow thai plan to
shreds. A close second is getting one
over on the old'man at every chance
sho has. This included about two
years of "Dad - look - a chimpanzee"
in an attempt lo distract me While she

ran away to wreak havoc. I have lost
hundreds of thumb wrestling matches. Have been moe, never eenie, mcenie, or minic. She wouldn't get away
with it if she weren't so dang cute. 1
certainly hope that charm hangs in
there, because her scholastic skills are
lacking to say the least.
My daughter turns 7 today, and
every birthday of hers brings a close
to another" chapter for the wife and 1.
We used to celebrate things like no
more diapers and bottles, now we just
kind of watch the sand slip by. People
always toll you it goes by fast, but it
can't be fast enough for me. Her
entering the second grade just means
10 more years until retirement for me.
Mrs. Doug will probably make us

engine running on my motor ho,me
the day after sho leaves for her freshman year. I figure they grow up faster
if you aren't giving them any other
options.
So happy seventh, my litlle boobalali. You make your daddy laugh every
day, and [hat's something you can take
to the bank often. Maybe for your birthday, you could either clean your room
or feed your fish. That sounds' like fun
to me. Anything but Chuck E. Cheese
sounds like fun to me. You aro getting
older, which means maybe I am growing
up too, I am glad you came along for the
ride. Maybe now you can look in the
mailbox and sec something special just
for you.
