THE PRESS • 2PRESSPAPERS.COM - APRIL 27, 2011
Cities discuss proposed tower at Walker Road Park:
AT&T says park is the o nly spot that works
AVON LL4KE
E3y Bryan Wroten
After having only limited information, speculation and
a dra@ ofa lease to work on for week5, city of&cials for Avon
Lake and Bay V'tllage finally had some of their questions
answered about the proposed cell tower at Walker Road
Park.
The Walker Road Park Committee, which comprises
three council members from each city, Avon Lake Mayor
K.C. Zuber and some department heads met April 20 with
attorney James Miller, a representative for AT&T.
As the meeting started, Zuber provided the background
on the tower, explaining how AT&T approached both Bay
V'illage Mayor Debbie Sutherland and him about the tower.
Following the controversy and lawsuit from the proposed Clear Wireless LLC monopole behind Giant Eagle,
AT&T backed off on its pitch until things cooled down.
ABer starting up the discussion again, Zuber said he and
Sutherland decided the matter needed to come before the
ad hoc committee for further discussion.
AT&T chose Walker Road Park because it fits inside an
acceptable area to provide the best coverage for the com-.
pany and its customers, Miller explained. It's well-known
the area is not well-covered for cell use, especially for the
AT&T cell grid, he said, referring to the east end of Avon
I.ake and westem Bay Village. He did not have maps showing proposed coverage from the tower at the park.
The acceptable area covers mainly residential neigh.borhoods but does include the park
"The only place not in someone's front yard is Walker
Road Park," Miller said. "If we had another location that
wasn't in the park that we could build it, we would."
Miller repeated variations of that last line several times
during the meeting, remembering the opposition the company faced by Avon Lake residents who fought against putting in the monopole by City Hall.
The company will work with both cities to avoid rushing anything, he said, and would prefer to act as a partner.
The conipany would lease the land from the cities. starting
at a negotiable $2,000 monthly rent, and help witli other
developments as needed.
The current plan calls for a tower height of 150 feet, he
said, allowing room for other carriers. The size of the
tower's footprint would depend on how many carriers both
cities ultimatelv agree to. 'I'he equipment for the tower
would be fenced in. The tower itself would cither be a
monopole or a stealth tower, configured to look like a flagpole, like the one at Avon Lake City Hall. The flagpole version would contain all of the equipnient inside the tower
itself.
AT&T doesn't have a prefen•ed site in Walker Road Park,
Miller said, as anywhere in the park meets its coverage
needs. The named spot, southwest of the paviliott, cvas stiggested because that would mean a closer powersttpply for
the tower.
If the cities wanted, AT&T would build a concession
stand that would also store the tower's equipment, Zuber
said.
Avon Lake Councilman at Large Marty O'Donnell asked
if there was any otlier possible location for the tower, such
as the Bay Village Service Station to the south on Naigle
Road, which becomes ICrebs Road in Avon Lake.
That location doesn't fit in the search area, Miller said,
because it is too close to already existing AT&T towers.
Bay Village Ward 4 Councilman Michael Young said the
service center is more industrial and wouldn't cause as
many complaints. He said he would seek another test to
make sure the center wouldn't be an acceptable location.
Avon Lalce had some issues when it comes to approving
towers, Zuber said. The Federal Telecommunications Act
of 1gg6 limits what a city can do once a lease agreement is
in place and there are no violations of city codes.
"Once we were to agree to the lease of the property,
there's not much you can do to stop the tower from going
in," he said. "Froni an Avon Lake standpoint, we are going
to want to get a11 ottr qttestions answered."
The cities r.ould ultimately deny the lease, Zuber said,
and there's nothing AT&T coulcl do about it. Avon Lake ran
into problems with the Clear Wireless monopole because it
was on private property, so council only had a chance to
disc:uss it after Planning Commission approved it.
He said he and Sutherland discussed the tower when
AT&T first came to them last summer and agreed to entertain the idea. However, he said there was still a long way to
go before anything happens.
"There's also going to be a possibility of a referendum,"
he said, referring to the one he worked on in 2003 to overturn the approval for a tower at Bleser Park.
Bay Village Ward 1 Councilman David'Tadych inquired
about tower designs, asking if there was a possibility of towers and monopoles becoming outdated technology. Miller
replied he has not heard anything about new designs.
Avon Lake's code lists preferences for tower locations,
Avon Lake Councilman at Large Dan Bucci said: and this
one would bump into preferences against building in parkland and in residentially zoned areas, which includes
Walker Road Park.
"We understand this is not a preferred location in the
city of Avon Lake," Miller said. "We don't have another location. If we had another location that worked for us, we
wouldn't be having this conversation because we'd stick it
there.
"If it doesn't go in the park and there's no other location
in the circle, we won't build a tower."
The cornmittee will meet again for further discussion of
the proposed tower.

Politicians, school districts .still waiting for more budget details
AvON LAKE
By Bryan Wroten
In a bid to find out how Gov. John
Kasich's administration prepared the
education budget, state Rep. Matt
Lundy is threatening legal action over
a denied public records request.
Ever since the administration released the governor's budget proposal,
school districts have been seeking
more information to get a better idea
of how the proposal would affect
them. Avon Lake City Schools stands
to lose about $4.4 million in state
funding, but that number could easily
change in. the coming weeks.
Lundy and state Rep. Debbie
Philips sought 17 different records to
better understand the process the ad+. ministration went through to come up
with the budget proposal.
"The way I look at things, I'm not
gettfng information for 1vlatt Lundy,"
lie'said. "It's getting info for any member of the general public."
The administration responded that
the information for 16 out of the 17
items Lund,y and'Philips requested
didn't exist. The remaining request
was reportedly worded too broadly for
1-the administration to fulfill.
I.'"It's disappointing and frustrating,"
;r Lundy said. "There'seems to be a pattern of a lack of transparency. Ever
- since we got the budget, we've been
asking for more info."
Any legal action would be a last resort,. he said, but when public record
requests are being denied and there's
no other recourse, it's necessary. He
will see if the administration changes
its mind later this week, he said, but if
it continues to deny the request, he
rv111 p;oceed.
It's a legislator's job to not take information at face value, he said. Insfead, it's to research in order to make
a'fully informed decision. The public
is being told to truSt the governor and
his decision, but Lundy said he's a believer in "triust but verify."
"If he doe§n't have the information he claims not to have, he should explain his thought process for the
budget he's putting on the'table," he
`How are we supposed to do that? They say, `Don't cut teachers, don't go out for
new money levies.' Oh, OK, how exactly are we supposed to do this?'
- Avon Lake City Schools Superintendent, Bob Scott
said.
Having worked in the news media
for 12 years prior to entering politics,
Lundy disagrees that his request for
the copies of e-mails and correspondence involving state education czar
Robert Sommers, the governor and his
staff sent to or received from the Fordham foundation and/or its staff and
board is too broad.
The administration has only been
in office since January, he said, and a
lot of work went into putting together
the budget plan on the table. The information shouldn't be too hard to get
or produce, he said.
"I just think they don't want to produce it," he said, citing past experience with challenges to the governor's
new public-private JobsOhio creation.
"It's a pattern - of a lack of trans-
parency."
It's only fair for superintendents,
school districts and the public to
know the details of how the adrninistration arrived at the numbers it pro-
posed.
Avon Lake Superintendent Bob -
Scott was aware of Lundy's request,
but not the governor's response. When
he learned of the governor's denial,
Scott responded, "Imagine that."
There's a lot of frustration in the
school district, Scott said. The governor's'administration moved the gifted
and talented money to the Foundation

side because "they know better how to
spend it," he said.
"We're here sitling, saying you cut
46 percent of our (state) budget," he
said. "We know you moved it, but who
got it? That money's gone to somebody."
Avon Lake schools "hit the trifecta
in loss" from the loss of Foundation
funding and the acceleration of phasing out the tangible personal property
taxes and utility deregulation. In about
four years, he said the district could be
down to $500,000 from the state, or
possibly even less.
"We don't know what they'Il put in
the next (budget)," he said.
The district recently held a public
meeting to explain the governor's
budget proposal. Scott said it was a
good meeting with some hard questions. The frustration in the room was
evident, he said, and it wasn't necessarily aimed at the district. Some people wanted to know why education
costs so mucb now, he said. Others
said they're paying more but not getting as good an education for'their
children, with which Scott disagrees.
Fifty-eight percent of the graduating
class will head to higher education
with college credit without ever leaving the high school campus, he said.
These students are competitive, he
said.
The governor's administration gave
the school districts tools, namely the
collective bargaining law known as
Senate Bill 5, but Scott doubted they
would actually help. Making teachers
and custodians pay more in STRS and
premiums, telling them they won't get
raises for the rest of their careers except through merit pay, which isn't defined yet, is not going to entice people
into teaching, he said.
The school distr'ict has 6$4.4 million gap, he said, and the district is
unsure how to fill it.
"How are we supposed to do that?" .
he asked. "They say, 'Don't cut teachers, don't go out for new money
levies.' Oh, OK, how exactly are we
supposed to do this?"

Group seeks donations for military care packages
AVON LAKE
By Bryan Wroten
As United States servicemen and
women know, active duty overseas
isn't by any means easy. Thousands of
miles away from the comforts of home,
they rely on the support of their families; friends and community to boost
their morale.
That's why a group of Avon Lake
women has taken it upon themselves
to collect donations for care packages.
Annie Heczko-Gamellia and her
friends are expanding to a citywide
project what they hope will continue
on an annual basie an Early Childhood
PTA collection following the death of
Cpl. Jason ivieiners.
Heczko-Gamellia, who has friends
who have been and will be on active
duty, said people tend to forget there
are men and women serving in the
armed forces.
"I think we have to be grounded
and thankful that they're overseas and
fighting," she said.
When the PTA collected packages
the first time, she said they had

.Lundy: State budget is one of tiie biggest jobs
One of the biggest jobs here in Columbus every
two years is,the state budget. The plan worked on
by legislators determines the priorities of your
state, as well as which programs and services will
continue and wliich will be cut or eliminated.
I believe that my greatest responsibility as we
debate the budget is to protect you, and to make
sure the btidget isn't balanced on the backs of Ohio
femilies.
After studying the governor's budget proposal, I
am
convinced that the budget priorities proposed
will hurt families, not create jobs and pass. the
buck on saving money in a fiscally irresponsible
way.' ,
Of greatest concern to me, is that the budget will
likely create a situation where your local taxes may
go ug to niake up for state cuts. As the Ohio Buck-

This renewal will not increase taxes, but will continue
the services provided by t2te Avon Branch Library. From
the countless books, magazines, newspapers, videos,
CDs and DVDs available in its collection-to the children's programming, computer training, research assistance and availability of ineeting space, the Avon

To the Editor:
Waking up to a wet basement on Feb. 26. 2011 was
not in the plans. When we finally woke up enough to realize what really happened, we made a phone c:all to
Kleen Carpet in Avon Lake (sorry for the 5:80 a.m. call).
They were out to our house by 6:15 a.m.
Kleen Carpet's phone started ringing off the hook not
long after (apparently, we were not the onlv one with a
"little problem"). Having a"little problem" like this cvas
a little overwhelming.
To the Editor:
I would like to ask for your support of a new middle
school and high school. As principal of Sheffield Middle School I work with our staff, parents, and'our.young
people on a daily basis. All of our stakeholders do their
very best to make our building as good as it can be. Our
custodians clean, shine, and paint the old surfaces of
our building. They also fix old items that need constant
repair. Our teachers work around leaks and do the best
they can in classrooms that are out of date. Our students
wear coats during the winter because our building is
drafty and hard to keep warm. Temperature is hard to
regulate. Through thick and thin, our young people and
our staff are very durable and they keep a smile on their
face through all of our building issues. They maintain a
level of pride in our buildings that is very commend-
able.
Typically, as a principal, I would not be writing an
editorial. However, I know how much a new building
truly would mean to the people who use this building
on a daily basis. I know because I see the day-to-day
stmggles that we encounter. Please consider voting to
support the new middle school/high school building. It
truly is needed for our students and all stakeholders. '

In support of Domonkas
To the Editor:
Our libraries provide a much needed and useful
service to the community. Please vote for the Lorain
Public Library Levy to renew the cun•ent operating levy.
This is not an increase.
At Domonkas you will find many resources available to help you search and discovery of many topics.
For example, there are computer stations which allow
you to surf the Internet. Magazines about computers
help you find out which are the newest and perhaps the
best value. If you're unsure about how to use a computer, there are classes at the library, which will help
you become more confident in the use and applications
of the computer. This is a small sample of the many topics of choice available at the library.
Whatever your subject of search, you can be certain
if you need to know you can find out about it at the library. Stop by and see the. many other resources and
programs offered by Domonkas and the Lorain Public
Library System. Remember to vote "Yes" for Issue 23,
Domonkas Library Renewal.

Explain the math
To the Editor:
An someone show nie the math error? I used the figures reported in the Press April 20, 2011 only excluding
the cost of the new boilers and the self-checkout machines since lhey are not annual expenses. I totaled library incorrie at $2,112,835 and outlay at $2,004,093.
This gives the library an end-of-year surplus of $108,742.
And it is asking for a 1-mill increase? A monthly increase
new technology (self-checkout machines) or remove the
redundant staff. The library has no full time (40-hourper
week) eniployees, pays student pages who could be
working off senior community service hours as volunteers, and has two levels of public service substitutes
drawing nearly $13,420 in pay. I know several seniors
who would ch glad forsome useful and social volunteer
opportunities.
Please excuse my outrage and find my error in math
if you c:an. However, all things considered, I believe it is
not only insensitive to ask for a full 1-mill increase at
this time, it is incompetent and arrogant.

.Art teacher o ff'
- icially fired after license revolted
AvON
By Rebecea Turman
---Avon Board of Education members approved a
Tesolution April 19 officially removing former Avon
Middle Schbol art teacher Anne Maiden as an employee of the school district.
Last spring, Maiden, of Elyria, pleaded guilty to
24 criminal charges, including breaking into cars,
stealing purses and using stolen credit cards to buy
thousands of dollars worth of inerchandise from August 2009 to October 2009. The charges involved 10
victims. from Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, Ashland and Medina counties.
Maiden was originally arrested in November 2009
after autliorities received a tip abont her identity and
involvement in crimes that took place at several
;Cleveland MetroParks.
~
MAIDEN ALSO PLEADED guilty last year to receiving stolea property and theft after she stole a
purse from a perked car in the Canton area and niade
purchases at various places totaling $1,200 with a
stolen credit card.
After pleading guilty to 26 crinies, Maiden was
sentenced to a suspended five and a half-year prison
term. Instead of facing prison time, she was ordered
to complete 125 community service hours and pay
$20,429.92 in restitution. She was sentenced to five
years' probation.
In addition, Maiden wascharged with, and
pleaded guilty to, two counts of theft and two counts
of misuse of credit cards, fifth-degree felonies. The
charges dealt with Maiden smasliing a window of a
car that was parked at Hudson High School. She stole
a purse and credit cards from the car. The cost of
damages andlostitemsinthatincident was
$1,331.14. The charges also included an incident
when Maiden smashed the window of a car parked
at Northwood Middle School in Lorain. Maiden stole
a purse and credit card from the car. The cost of damages to the car and stolen items was $1,873.84.
After she was charged, she was sentenced to a sus-
pended six-month sentence. She had already served
six months in jail at that point.
"If you are convicted of a felony, you cannot teach
in the state of Ohio," Superintendent Jim Reitenbach
said last year, when the district had begun the
process to have Maiden removed from employment.
Maiden allowed her teaching license to expire
June 30, 2010, and the State Board of Education revoked her license permanently during its meeting
this month. Therefore, the Avon Local School District
was able to move forward with a resolution.
"We had been filling that position with substitute
teachers," Avon Local School District Treasurer Kent
Zeman said last week. "For this'school year, we'11 use
three different (art) teachers. We could not fill that
position (permanently) until the State Board of Education revoked her license."
While Maiden had worked as a full-time middle
school art teacher, Zeman said the district will assess
its needs before filling the position.
"There's no guarantee it will be full time," he said.

Area agencies respond to A11ied Waste fuel spill
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Eclwards
Councilman at-Large Dennis Bring
and.Service Director Len Smith told
'
Sheffield Lake City Council April 19 a
fuel line on an Allied Waste garbage
trvck operating on Thelma Drive broke
Tuesday morning, spilling •a small
amount, of diesel fuel into a storm
drain. Smith said quick action by firefighters, who placed oil-recovery
booms in the water below the outfall,
recovered all or most of the contaminant at the point where'the storm
` sevuer empties into Lake Erie, The service department also vacuumed some of
tlie diesel fuel froru the storm sewer.
Bring, who lives on Lake Road near
the outfall and had a close view of the
recovery efforts from his backyard,
told council members that the spill
had occurred and been quickly cleaned
up by the Sheffield Lake and Avon
Lake fire departments along with the
Service Department's sewer vacuum
truck, and that the U.S. Coast Guard response team and representatives of
both the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and Lorain County Emergency Management Agency soon
arrived on the scene to assist, but only
observed the cIeanup operation.
"TODAY WE had a diesel spill on
Thelma Drive, which entered the storm
sewer that flows to the Lynne Drive
outfall," Smith said during his report
later in the meeting. "The fire departments located the outfall, which they
boomed immediately, and also calied
the appropriate authorities, which also
showed up. The spill was caused by an
Allied Waste truck, which ruptured a
fuel line while picking up carts on
Tbelma. Allied Waste took responsibility for the cleanup, under the guidance of the EPA. This included hiring
an outside contractor, sweeping the
streets and vacuuming the storm sewer
at an interruption point. The EPA said
everything was going well with the
cleanup but they would stay on the
scene until it was completed later in
the day. It was a relatively small
amount of fuel that spilled."
'The fare departments
located the outfall;
which they boomed
immediately, and also
ealled the appropriate
authorities.'

"In the last eight years, we have provided usable access
to the lakefront, including the boat launch. We have procured funding for four major road projects," Kovach said.•
"Working with the administration and members of the
community, we were able to replace Giant Eagle with Apples and purchase the shopping center. Of all the projects
started, the only unfinished business is finding a developer for the shopping center. I would like to continue on
to finish this projecL Being the only person running for the
at-large position that has prior experience, I believe I am
the most qualified for the position."
Kovach has lived in Shef$eld Lake for 37 years with
his wife Kathy. They have three children: Steven, 34, Katie
and Kelly, 29; andone grandson, Zach, 8. Kovach is a 1970

the city's Planning Commission and also the membership
captain of "The Sheffields" Democratic Club. Belaska has
participated in several political and social campaigns in
recent years, notably spearheading residents' protests of
the depar[ure of the former Giant Eagle grocery store from
Shoreway Shopping Center: .
"We need a strong advocate on cotmcil who will fight
for the residents of Sheffield Leke," Belaska said. "We need

great investment, which is now comittg back to life with
the help of green technology. I fought hard to save our grocery store and spent countless volunteer hours, including

dent, a Brookside alumnus and a former member of the
city's Planning Commission. McCullough graduated from
Northwood of Indiana in 1979 and Northwood of Iviichigan in 1980. He works as a corporate event entertainer and
coordinator with Final Touch Entertainment.
McCullough says he is running for council at large because he believes it needs a dissenting voice.
"You can't sit back aitd complain," McCullough said.
"If you don't lilce'tlie way things are going, you have to either put up or shut up: We have had too much of 7-0 council votes on every major decision in our city. Millions of
dollars have been spent without discussion in open council or considerations of all taxpayers. There has been no
transparency when it comes to the managementof the
shopping center. It is the taxpayers who are on the hook
for the $3.5 million, not the administration. There is no accotmtability to the residents. I feel that there are many programs that could benefit the entire community, not just the
few that can afford watercraft.
"We have laws in place for alternative energy, yet we
don't complete the tasks," McCullough continued.
"Sheffield Lake has many good ideas and projects started,
but doesn't have the money or support to finish them. I
will be accountable to the residents to make sure monies
are invested so all residents can benefit from projects that
should be for the majority in the city. I will also ensm•e that
I will hold the next mayor accountable for all actions, and
that all city boards are filled with members and also that
the meetings are held regularly. Sheffield Lake needs someone who has business experience in these tough times. I
know that this is the right time to give back to Sheffield
L.ake for all it has afforded me in my life."

Lorain County Metro Parks Director Dan Martin said
Gerone left big shoes to fill, but Thompson has the experience to do it. Thompson will be responsible fbr park
maintenance, community relationships and programming.
Martin likened Thompson to a bespectacled character from "MASH."
"Grant's our very own Radar O'Reilly," he said. "If
you want to find something somewhere in this country,
you call Grant. If we need something, three days later,
Grant finds it somewhere. That's his unique talent."
As park -manager, Thompson said he'd lead bimonthly hikes through the reservation to show changes .
throughout the seasons, helped with the laying down of
trails, hosted a preschool program every third Friday
and gave tram rides during the summer.
The park district already has a great group of naturalists, Thompson said, and his job will be to make them ,
look good. He likes to see parks become destination venues, where people want to come to the park and see "

she said. "That made it real easy and comfortable."

Brown was disappointed in their 1600
relay perform an ce. The Cardinals fi nished
sixth in 3:56.96.
"We ie trying to get our 4x400 in that
3:40 show," he said. "We needed to do that
today in preparation for Margaretta next
week and Clearview next Wednesday.
We're just trying to get better each week
with each meet.
"The 4x400 is the most anticipated
event not just for us, but also in most track nieets, because it's the last event and everybods
ngattention."

P.Yi
Brown isn't as thrilled with the relay
events as others may be.
"Personally, I'm not high on relay events
to the leadoff spot, and he responded with
three doubles against Western Reserve,"
Zagorsky said. "I moved (sophomore) Phil
Donolan to the two-hole and he had a
three-RBI bases-loaded double in the win over EC. It's nice to see the younger guys
stepping up and contributing, because _
that's what we need if we want to keep
winning.
"They're communicating well out on
the field, too, which is nice."
The Cardinals only have five lettermen
and three seniors-Ackerman, Thpaszi and
Uehlein-on the tetrn. That means seven
out of the 12 guys on the team are new, and
most of them are sophomores and a freshman (Matt Seekins).
"Luke, Tyler, Brandon and Hunter,
who's a junior but has been with me since
he was a freshman,.are our core guys,"
Zagorsky said. "Chad played as a freshman
and lettered, but he's definitely improved
with his bat and has done a great job taldng
over duties behind the plate, blocking balls
and-calling thQ game. I've been really "
pleased.
"Of our seven newcomers, two are jun- . ?iors, four are sophomores and one is a
freshman. So, it's a young group. But
they're maturing, and that's all you
for."

because you can't see all your kids perform," he said. "We have better numbers i.
this year, but kids are doubling up in other events, and I'm not big on that. It's getting
colder as the day progressed, and you start
getting aches and pains. I would actually
rath er compete at a regular track meet tobe
able to see all of our kids compete in their
individual events.
"The only thing that's good about a relay
is -thatyou're going against different
schools. We're not going to see the Midparks or the Olmsted Falls'-the . other
schools that we're not going to see in the •
postseason or in our conference meet. It
gives them a better opportunity to see different kids and compete against a higher
level of com etition
than we're used to seeP
ing."

over 20 years, in-house technicians do "99.9 %" of the

surfaces, we have the proven experience needed to
handle everything from major structural losses to
minor repairs.

appliances and clothing, we can pack, move, and store
your furnishings in our cliinate controlled, secure
warehouse, located at our Avon facility. We can even
handle having your clothing dry cleaned. As Todd
Wearsh says, "We specialize on everything inside
the home, from floor to ceiling andeverything inbetween."

or you want your carpets and furniture as clean as
they can be, give Duraclean Restoration a call at 216509-8740, or visit our state of the art facility at 1264

FINANCIAL FOCUS BY BOB BROOKS • REAL ESTATE HOTLINE BY KEN KODGER
BUSINESS
Consider some "Tax smart" investrnent moves
may want to invest in a 529 plan. Your eamings grow tax- .
free, provided they are used for qualified higher education
expenses, and your contributions may be deductible from
your state taxes, depending on your state of residence and
the plan in which you choose to participate.
• Be a"buy-and-hold" investor. By holding investments
at least one year before selling them, gains on your investment will generally be taxed at a rate of 15 percent. If you
sell an appreciated investment you've held less than one =
year, the tax rate will be the same as your individual tax •.
rate, which could be as high as 35 percent.
• Look for dividends. You can potentially increase your'.
cash flow by purchasing investments that pay dividends.
For 2011 and 2012, individual investors also benefit from a
maximum tax rate of 15 percent on qualified dividends. If
you don't need the extra cash, you can reinvest the dividends and increase your ownership shares — which is a key .
to building wealth. (Keep in mind, though, that companies
can decrease or eliminate dividends at any time.)
As mentioned above, Tax Freedom Day is more of an
idea than a reality. But by following these tax-smart investment tips, you can potentially gain some benefits for years "
to come.
- April 18 was the deadline forfiling your individual tax
retum. But that wasn't the only event that occurred this tax
season. Although you might not have been aware of it, Tax
Freedom Day fell on April 12.
Tax Freedom Day, calculated annually by the Tax Foundation, is the day on which Americans have eamed
errough money to pay this year's federal, state and local.
taxes: Qf course, Tax Freedom Day is something of a fiction, because, most people pay their taxes throughout the
^year, via'their paychecks. Furthennore, when you pay
taxes, you help fund public education, the police, the fire
department, highways, college scholarships and many
otfier important elements of society. Nonetheless, you may
wailt to use the concept of Tax Freedom Day to look for
ways to reduce the taxes assoeiated with your investments.
Here are a few suggestions:
0 Fully fund your IRA. For 2011, you generally can
contribulte up to $5,000 to a traditiohal or Roth IRA, or
$6,000 if you're 50 or older. When you invest in a traditional IRA, your contributions may be tax deductible, depending on your income level, and your eamings can grow
on a tax-deferced basis. With a Roth IRA, your contributions are not deductible, but your eamings can grow tax
free, provided you've had your account at least five years
and you don't start taking withdrawals until you're 59 and
a half:
• Increase your 401(k) contributions. When you contribute to a 401(k), you can receive-two main types of tax
benefits. First, you typically put in pre-tax dollars to your
401(k), so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable
income. And second, your eamings c.an grow on a tax-deferred basis. For 2011, you generally can contribute up to
$16,500 to your 401(k), or $22,000 if you're 50 or older.
(The same contribution limits apply to 457(b) plans, for
state or local govemment employees, or 403(b) plans, for
employees of schools or other tax-exempt organizations.)
So, whenever your salary goes up, you many want to consider boosting your contrlbutions to your 401(k) or other
employer-sponsored retirement plan.
• Invest in a 529 plan. If you have children or grandchildren whom you'd like to help through college, you

Edward /ones-
Secrets to getting top dollar for your home!
The . goal of eve ry seller is to make buyers stop,
come in and emotionally connect with their home. A
buyer needs_to mentally move•in before they will write
an offer. Helpihg sellers know how to prepare a home
for sale-is one:of the responsibilities of your Realtor.
If a home, is;:properly prepared for sale it will appeal
to rliore buyers;and will reduce the time it takes to sell.
sound like an extreme example, but believe me; we see
homes every week, which are languishing on the mar- ..
ket for lack of proper preparation.
Once you have disposed of the clutter, start cleaning. Bathrooms and kitchens must be absolutely spotless. If you cannot do the cleaning yourself, hire a
cleaning service. The cleaning service will pay for itself
20 times over in your sanity and in the price a buyer is -'
willing to pay for that comfortable feeling they will get
from an ultra clean home. When your home is shown, be sure the drapes are
open, particularly if a lovely view is central to the . .
home's appeal. Light up your home as much as possi-. .
ble. Turn on every light, even during the day. Remem-'
ber that showings are stressful for pets and they can
become a distraction. Pets should be removed for their
own well-being and to allow the buyer to concentrate
on the fine qualities of the home.
Once your home is really ready for showings, relax ;.
and enjoy the ambiance that you have created for your
buyer. And do not be surprised if you fall in love with
your house all over again.
This is a paid advertisement by Ken Kodger of
Keller Williams Greater Cleveland.
In a slow marketr the home properly prepared for sale
will sell, the otfiers will not.
It is'estimatei('that money spent on properly preparing a home for sa7e will return five to 20 times what is
spenC'Conversely; doing nothing can cost you a great
i:deal iri:both price and time. AII buyers expect extra
icompensation for'their.inconvenience. Buyers may de!.mand a$10,000 price adjustment, for example, to
j; .' . cover a $5,000 job.
i'Have you ever been stopped in your tracks by
the sheer creativity of a department store display?
That is the goal of properly preparing your home for
sale. The goal again is to encourage a"yeah, I could
live here" feeling in potential buyers. In a previous
listing assignment where we had taken over a listiitg, which had languished on the market for over
eight months, we recommended nine specific clean-
up, landscaping and painting projects. Out-ofpocket-cost is about $100. Upon their completion,
the first buyer who visited the home purchased it.
That's experience at work!
I remember a wonden`ul family, which asked us to
list and sell their home because their present home was
just too small. That was an understatement. There was
just no way they could prepare the house for sale for
every buyer visit and retain their sanity. We suggested
they move out before attempting to sell their present
home. That is always a risky move but in this case it
was required. They purchased and moved into their
new home, prepared their old home for sale just once
and we found a buyer within a few weeks. This may
