VILLAGE/SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
After a long wait for wetland remediation approval from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), construction of the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake
City School’s new building for grades 7-12
could start as soon as the weather permits.
With a wetland remediation (401) permit from the OEPA in hand and an action
(Section 404) permit from USACE currently
under review by the Board of Education’s
attorneys (Squire, Sanders & Dempsey),
MKC architect Steve Zeller advised the
board on Feb. 11 that it could go ahead and
vote to accept the lowest and best bid for

Avon Lake grads rock out, ‘Says She’
AVON LAKE
By Shane Rogers
A group of Avon Lakers and their college friend are attempting to knock the
socks off of audiences as their rock band,
Says She, navigates the tricky inland
waters of the Cleveland music scene.
With Molly Persarchik on vocals, Matt
Rehker on guitar, Alana Bilancini on bass
and David Shullenberger on drums, the
female-fronted Says She plays a combination of pop, rock and blues that is
“soul”-ly its own.
“We all work very well together and
our personalities just fit,” said Persarchik,
referring to the band’s chemistry.
“All of us have some sort of background with music theory. It’s good
music,” Bilancini added. “It’s easy to add
stuff.”
Persarchik, Rehker and Shullenberger
formed the band while at Miami University about two years ago, starting off

City to seek bids for new trash collection contract
AVON L AKE
By Bryan Wroten
In a bid to lower costs to residents,
the city is looking for other options to
its current trash collection contract.
Mayor Greg Zilka has asked City
Council’s Public Service Committee to
begin the process of opening up the
contract to competitive bidding by May
so that a new contract could be in place
for 2014. The committee will meet
Monday to discuss the bidding.
“My belief is it’s in our best interest
to bid the thing as early as possible,”
the mayor said. “People bidding for the
business who don’t have it would probably be hard-pressed to come up with
vehicles and staffing to put them in
place by Jan. 1 (if bid later). It seems
the earlier we bid it, the better chance
of getting competitors.”
Republic Services, formerly Allied
Waste, holds the current contract with
the city, which has been renewed several times. Avon Lake had subsidized
residents’ trash fees by one-third following a deal in the early 1990s in ex-
change for increasing the income tax.
Council ended the subsidy in spring
2012, which is estimated to have saved
the city about $700,000 a year. City
records show the cost to households at
the end of 2012 was $18.84 a month, or
$56.52 a quarter. The increase was
about $18 to $19 a quarter.
The city received some pushback
from residents after the vote, particularly about the lack of notification
about the subsidy’s end. Former Mayor
K.C. Zuber recently criticized the city
government, both at a Jan. 26 budget
meeting and in a letter to the editor, for
ending the subsidy instead of dipping
into the city’s $6.4 million “rainy day
fund,” a combination of the Income Tax
Transfer Fund and the unencumbered
ending cash balance from the year
before, to balance the budget. Zuber,
when mayor, offered City Council a
number of “revenue enhancement”
options, including ending the trash
subsidy.
In defending his push to end the
subsidy, Zilka said the city’s financial
advisers informed the city that without

Hunter says ODOT to start Abbe Road widening project in April
S HEFFIELD V ILLAGE
By John Edwards
Mayor John Hunter told Sheffield
Village Council on Feb. 11 that the
Ohio Department of Transportation’s
plan to begin widening Abbe Road
from Detroit Road to the north entrance of Lorain County Community
College is on track to begin this April.
Hunter said that ODOT has advertised
the project for bids and an official start
date is to be announced some time
after the bids have been opened and
awarded.
Hunter said ODOT also plans to replace the Abbe Road overpass bridge
across Interstate 90 beginning in June,
in conjunction with the road widening. Replacement of the overpass is expected to close that portion of Abbe
Road between French Creek Road and
Detroit Road for approximately six
months, which would necessitate a detour of traffic from Abbe Road either
west to East River Road in Sheffield
Village or eastward, via Detroit Road,
to Colorado Avenue in Avon.
Hunter noted that Norfolk Southern
railroad has suspended installation of
crossing gates on its tracks crossing
Detroit Road at the Avon border due to
recent inclement weather, but intends
to complete the installation before
April and the start of the road widen-

ing project. Hunter said ODOT has
pushed back its scheduled replacement of the French Creek Road overpass of I-90 until 2014.
Council approved no legislation,
but did hear a second reading of an ordinance to amend Sheffield’s exterior
maintenance code by adding a section
dealing with foreclosed properties.
Council members also heard a first
reading of an ordinance to establish a
new Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
area for commercial properties in the
Colorado Avenue and Abbe Road
areas. Village Council approved TIF
legislation for Detroit Road commercial areas two years ago. Hunter said
the TIF legislation would allow the
village to receive 40 percent and
Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City Schools
to receive 60 percent of annual real
property tax income.
Brookside senior and 12-year Girl
Scout Madison Kovalik thanked
Hunter for his contribution and reported to council on the status of her
efforts to win a Gold Award (Girl
Scouting’s highest award) by raising
funds to purchase and install allweather workout equipment at fitness
stations along a trail at the Lorain
County Metro Parks’ French Creek Nature and Art Center. Kovalik approached council last autumn to make
it aware of her project, as it will be
done within Sheffield Village.
“For my Girl Scout Gold Award
project to install fitness stations at
French Creek Reservation, my current
budget is around $22,000,” Kovalik
said. “So far I have raised $2,132. I
have contacted local businesses and
hospitals to ask for their sponsorship,
but I have received barely any responses. I have also looked into applying for grants but I have had no
success so far. Hopefully, with the
help of Sheffield Village Council I will
be able to reach out to more businesses
in the community. Once I have secured the funding, I’m fully prepared
to order the stations and start recruiting volunteers to help install them.
Anyone can contact me at 440-4544104
or
via
e-mail
at
[email protected], or on my
website, https://sites.google.com/site/
madison2heart.”
“I think the Metro Parks should pay
for the equipment since they’re going
to own it,” Law Director Tom Smith
said.
But Kovalik replied that in order to
satisfy the Gold Award Project requirements, she must raise the funds
herself. Councilman Walter Min asked
Kovalik to meet with him after the
meeting and said he had some ideas
that could help her.

Commencement will be held at CSU for class of 2013
AVON
By Rebecca Turman
The Avon High School class of 2013
will be the first graduating class to
graduate on unfamiliar soil.
With the number of guest tickets
available for graduation dwindling
over the past few years, due to the limited amount of space available in the
Avon High School gymnasium and the
growing graduating class sizes, the
Avon Local School District has made
the decision to move the commencement ceremony to a larger venue this
year.
Avon High School Principal
Kristina Dobos Buller said she is personally “saddened” by having to
change the location.
“I think commencement belongs on
(Avon’s) campus,” she said.
But with each student in last year’s
graduating class only permitted five
tickets for guests to sit in the gymnasium and another two tickets for
guests to watch the ceremony via television in the auditorium, the setup
was less than ideal for students and
their family members.
“In the end, talking to students ...
They would rather be somewhere unfamiliar and have their entourage with
them,” Dobos Buller said.
In 2012, 247 students graduated
from Avon High School, she said.
Approximately 263 students are
slated to graduate in the class of 2013,
according to Dobos Buller.
“There are years that we have 100
percent (of the students graduate),”
she said in a recent interview.
The class sizes are expected to increase even more in the upcoming
years, according to Dobos Buller.
“Next year is 308, and every year
after that is 300 plus,” she said.
Before the high school went to a
ticket system in 2011, the graduation
ceremonies were pushing the limits in
terms of the maximum occupancy capacity. Dobos Buller said the capacity
for the gym is approximately 1,700
people.
“We were found to exceed our capacity (in 2010),” Dobos Buller said.
“They allowed the ceremony to go on.
We weren’t cited, but we were given a
professional and formal warning.”
Asked if the high school gym was
built to accommodate the growing class
sizes, Dobos Buller said, “Our gym is a
considerable size and comparable to
most high school gyms. I don’t think it’s
undersized in terms of seating.”
Dobos Buller said the option of an
outdoor ceremony was ruled out with
parking limited at the high school stadium and Ohio weather being so unpredictable.
The district looked into other
nearby venues, such as the Lorain
County Community College, the Lorain Palace Theater and the Magnificat
High School auditorium, but the CSU
Convocation Center ended up being
the best fit.
Renting out the facility for the ceremony will cost the district $7,000
total, according to Avon Local School
District Treasurer Kent Zeman.
Avon isn’t the first local high
school to graduate at the college.
Dobos Buller said other high schools,
including Amherst, Parma and
Strongsville, have held commmencment ceremonies there as well.
“People actually forget how big
Avon is,” she said.
On graduation day, the convocation
center will have a “concert set up,” according to Dobos Buller, with the commencement stage set up on one side of
the floor.
“The guests will be (seated) in the
lower bowl (of the center),” she said.
“Students have an unlimited number
of guests now.”
Asked if free parking will be available to guests the day of the ceremony,
Dobos Buller said, “Not necessarily.”
Graduating students will be transported on a bus provided by the district, which will drive them to the
convocation center.
“The big joke is, ‘It’s your last
school bus ride,’” Dobos Buller said,
adding the students will be taken to
the ceremony venue earlier on in the
day to rehearse prior to the ceremony.
When guests arrive at the venue,
the students will be held in a waiting
area, she said.
Dobos Buller said the expectation is
the students will ride home with their
loved ones.
While unlimited tickets are available, Dobos Buller said only one free
parking pass will be given to each
graduating student for their family
and/or friends to use as needed.
Graduation is set for 2 p.m. on June
1.
So far this year, Dobos Buller said,
she hasn’t heard anything about concerns with the venue change.
“The jury is still out,” she said. “I
anticipate – because I myself feel this
way – there is a sense of a lack of familiarity.
“Last year I took a lot of concerned
calls about commencement and the
limited (number of) tickets. There was
a lot of angst on the idea that people
were so limited.”
This year, Dobos Buller said,the
district is “trying to provide an elegant, comfortable location.”

Fire department moving forward in dispatch transition after delays
AVON L AKE
By Bryan Wroten
After months of setbacks, the Avon
Lake Fire Department is now just a
week or two away from a monthlong
training period for the new 911 dispatch system.
Fire Chief Chris Huerner presented
City Council’s Safety Committee at a
Feb. 13 meeting with an update about
the dispatch transition. In an interview, Ward 4 Councilman and Safety
Committee Chairman Dave Kos said
the department had some equipment
problems. Hurricane Sandy hit one of
the manufacturers on the East Coast,
he said, slowing down the arrival of
some equipment. Some software was
defective, he said, and the department
had to return it and wait for a replacement. The county 911 operation also
had to train some personnel, he added.
The situation has turned around
now. The equipment is installed and
operational, Huerner said Monday
morning, and training will begin soon.
Though the dates aren’t set in concrete, he said, the department is looking to start using the equipment at the
end of the week or beginning of next
week.
“Getting the call is the first step,”
he said. “We can’t help people without
it. We want to do it right, so we’re not
going to hurry through this. We want
to make sure everything goes
smoothly.”
He expects the department to have
a monthlong dual dispatching operation, using the current system as well
as the new Lorain County 911. The department may shorten or extend that
time period if needed, he added.
Former fire Chief Glen Eisenhardt
recommended in May 2012 the department move to the county 911 operation after reviewing a number of
options with his staff. By having Lorain County 911 take over the dispatching operation, he said, it would
free up a firefighter/paramedic on each
shift, allowing one more person to respond to calls and improve response
times. The move would save money,
he said, and allow the city to purchase
new equipment for the department’s
fire trucks and ambulances, as well as
the station, through a no-interest loan
from the county.
City officials had hoped to quietly
move to the 911 dispatching sooner,
possibly as early as early February,
Kos said, but it should work out that
the fire department will use the new
system by early spring, which was the
time the city publicly announced it expected the new dispatching to begin.
There should be no additional costs
to the city from the delays, he added,
as all of the equipment was under
warranty.

City finally settles suit over improperly
installed safety center windows
AVON L AKE
By Bryan Wroten
When announcing the settlement of this almost
12-year-long case at a recent City Council meeting,
Mayor Greg Zilka said he did not expect the suit to
end within his lifetime.
City Council authorized the mayor and law director to accept a settlement of $250,000 for “defective
work” performed by Spaulding Construction for the
windows at the City of Avon Lake Safety Center. This
settlement also ended the suit of the company’s
bonding company against the company’s liability insurance carrier.
Zilka credited Engineering Manager Joe Reitz and
Law Director Abe Lieberman, as well as past law directors and mayors, for their handling of the case
and the final settlement.
Reitz said the settlement amount covers everything, from court costs to retrofitting new windows.
“We’re going to basically remove the existing win-
dow systems, redo the frames so they drain properly
and let the water drain outside instead of inside,” he
said.
Problems arose with the windows shortly after the
police department moved into the safety center in
May 2001, he said. The city waited to replace the
windows because the city and the insurance company had different proposals for how to fix the leaking windows, he said.
Of the 190 windows to replace, Reitz said the
Avon Lake Municipal Court ones will be first because they are in the worst shape. The city will have
a firm come in to remove a couple of windows to see
how to specifically fix them, he said, and then bid
out the rest of the replacements.
“It’s not done yet, but I’m glad we’re to a point we
can get the repairs done that need to get done,” he
said.

Ward meetings series
begins tonight
AVON LAKE
By Bryan Wroten
Ward 1 will kick off the ward meetings tonight at Learwood
Middle School.
The meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria, will give
residents a chance to listen to city officials give presentations
about their own department operations and any upcoming projects in the ward before a question and answer session. There
will also be time at the end of the meeting for people to approach the officials and ask questions on a one-on-one basis.
One does not need to be a resident of the meeting’s designated ward in order to attend, as some topics will cover the
entire city.
The Ward 2 meeting will be on Feb. 27, also in Learwood
Middle School’s cafeteria. Ward’s 3 and 4 will be March 6 and
13, respectively, in Troy Intermediate School’s cafeteria.

Food drive returns to March Away Hunger

the drive will be like last year’s, which brought in
about $6,800 worth of food for Avon/Avon Lake
Community Resource Services.
The CRS food pantry shelves can empty quickly
in between big food drives, he said, and an early
spring drive can help CRS stock up in time for summer. CRS’s executive director, Susan Poole, has previously stated that kids who would eat a free or
reduced-price lunch at school eat lunch at home during the summer, which can strain some families’
food budgets.
People can drop off food at the locations listed on
the left starting March 1. The drive will last the entire month. The drop-off boxes will be decorated by
the artwork of a student.

Avon, Avon Lake residents rally around their neighbors
The New Year has begun, and here’s wishing it’s off
to a good start! The flip of the calendar often brings
about resolutions and hopes to improve upon things
from the year before. Looking back at 2012, it certainly
had its challenges. Personally, I know many of my
family and friends were faced with difficult challenges last year, some of which impacted a large portion of this community. Even in the wake of some very
painful times, I noticed how difficult it is to keep this
community down. People in Avon and Avon Lake
seem to rally around their neighbors, pitching in when
the going gets tough, and never forgetting to show
kindness and love when others are hurting. In welcoming the year 2013, my hope is that the healing has
begun, and there are brighter days ahead.
In my professional life at CRS, I also see a community coming together to ensure positive change. Already this year, our community has responded to the
growing demand for CRS services. On Jan. 26, we
hosted the 24th annual Charity Ball. Without commu-
nity support of this annual fundraiser, we wouldn’t be
able to continue the work that we’ve done for close to
a quarter of a century. We were pleased to announce
that this year’s event topped record-breaking attendance, as well as raised an unprecedented total in proceeds. With 331 people in attendance, this year’s
Charity Ball raised almost $70,000 to help support our
ongoing basic needs programs. This is in addition to
specific funding raised that night to better serve our
seniors. I repeat, people in Avon and Avon Lake know
how to rally around their neighbors when the going
gets tough.
The theme of this year’s event was “Seasons of Caring,” designed to capture the spirit of the work done at
CRS all year long. While we can talk about our services in terms of different times of the year – utility assistance in the winter, fresh fruits and veggies from
our food pantry in the spring, school supplies in early
summer, holiday support in December– we all know
that life never fits nicely into tidy little boxes. Hard
times can hit anyone, at any time, and there’s no simple formula to predict when someone is going to need
a helping hand. Like the seasons of the year, the only
thing that’s predictable is that they’re all different, and
they all change.
Economic struggles are predicted to continue for
many in 2013, and thanks to our caring community,
CRS remains positioned to keep pace with the growing need. How lucky we are to have a place like CRS
in our community: a place to which residents of Avon
and Avon Lake can turn when faced with life’s varying
problems ... a place that is so generously supported by
community members committed to helping their
neighbors when times get tough. Thank you to everyone who cares enough to help sustain CRS throughout
the seasons of the year.

Time to debate the state budget in Columbus
Work is under way in Columbus on the new
two-year state budget for Ohio. Once again, I will
serve on the House Finance Committee (10 Democrats and 21 Republicans). We must work together to
do what is best for all Ohioans.
The new budget proposed by Gov. John Kasich is
over $63 billion dollars ($7 billion more in spending). The Medicaid expansion will make 365,000
more Ohioans eligible for coverage (currently 2.3
million Ohioans). Once you factor in additional
costs, additional federal reimbursements and eligibility changes, the state expects to net close to $500
million dollars.
Schools were cut over $1.5 billion dollars in the
governor’s last budget. The new money in this
budget doesn’t make up for the cuts, and it fails to

Middle school project meeting set for tonight
AVON
By Rebecca Turman
It's been months since Avon voters approved a
bond issue to build a new middle school in the city,
and the Avon Local School District is now ready to
host a public meeting to discuss the new middle
school plans.
The community is invited to attend the meeting,
which will be held at 7 p.m. tonight in the Avon Middle School cafeteria.
In November, voters approved a 2.34-mill bond
issue request, allowing the Avon Local School District to restructure bond debt so that taxpayers will
continue to pay the 5.3 mills of district bond issued
debt they currently pay.
By passing the bond issue, voters agreed to continue to pay $162.34 annually per $100,000 home
valuation on the 5.3 mills.
The bond issue will raise $32 million over 28
years to build the new middle school.
During the meeting tonight, residents will have
the opportunity to provide their feedback on the project plans to date.
"We are at the beginning stages of the process
working on the overall floor plan designs," a post on
the district's website, avonlocalschools.org, stated.
The next part of the planning process is to discuss
details regarding the inside of the building.
The district plans to hold more public meetings in
the future to share the progress of the middle school
design process as it unfolds.
Tonight, a short presentation will be made followed by a question and answer period.
The overall goal is to have the new Avon Middle
School open to students during the beginning of the
2015-2016 school year.
According to the preliminary schedule for the design and construction of the project put together by
Lesko Associates, the construction/move-in phase of
the project will take close to 17 months to complete.
When the new middle school is built, it will house
grades six through eight.

Man sentenced
for involvement
in construction
worker’s death
AVON
By Rebecca Turman
A Broadview Heights man was sentenced Feb. 12
on a charge of vehicular manslaughter, a second-degree misdemeanor, and failure to maintain assured
clear distance, a minor misdemeanor, for his involvement in the death of a construction worker
killed while working on the Interstate 90 interchange
at Nagel Road in Avon.
Anthony Rose Jr., 50, pleaded no contest to the
charges related to the death of 63-year-old construction worker Paul Maglis on Sept. 12, 2012.
Maglis, a Campbell, Ohio, resident, died after he
was struck by a car while working near the Nagel
Road bridge.
Rose was ultimately fined $900 as part of the sentence. His initial 90-day jail sentence was reduced
to five days, and he is set to serve his jail sentence
beginning Feb. 23.
Judge Darrel Bilancini ordered Rose to complete
200 hours of community service, and he suspended
his license until Feb. 12, 2014. However, occupational and medical driving privileges are permitted,
according to the Avon Lake Municipal Court records.
The case is set for a review hearing on Aug. 13.

Social
Security
F.A.Q.
Can I have federal taxes
withheld from my Social
Security check?
Although you are not required to have federal
taxes withheld from your Social Security benefit,
you may find that easier than paying quarterly
estimated tax payments. To have federal taxes
withheld, or to change your original withholding
request, you will need to:
• complete IRS Form W-4V
• select the percentage (7, 10, 15, or 25 percent) of your monthly benefit amount you want
withheld
• sign and return the form to your local Social
Security office by mail or in person
You may obtain IRS Form W-4V from the IRS
Website at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/
fw4v.pdf or by calling the IRS toll-free number,
1-800-829-3676. You may also obtain the form by
calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. People
who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our
toll-free TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, between
7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday through Friday.
Social Security is not authorized to withhold
state taxes, if any, from your benefit payment.

Port authority to raze derelict houses;
Proposed development could add new ones
SHEFFIELD
LAKE
By John Edwards
Two programs considered at Sheffield
Lake City Council’s
Feb. 12 regular meeting
could change and improve the city’s residential housing stock
soon. One proposal, for
which council voted to
endorse a developer’s
grant
application,
could add 48 singlefamily homes, complete
with
infrastructure including sanitary and storm
sewers, an outfall to Lake Erie and completion of a capped water line at the south
end of Mariner’s Watch on 23 undeveloped acres at 3600 Lake Road, just east of
Mariner’s Watch.
The other is an agreement to allow the
Lorain County Port Authority (LCPA) to
demolish abandoned and unsafe houses
using state grant funds and at no expense
to the city.
Frank Fugate of Woda Management &
Real Estate LLC, a Reynoldsburg, Ohio, development company that uses grant and
loan funding to offset investors’ tax credits and construct, manage and ultimately
sell new houses, asked council to approve
a letter endorsing Woda’s application for a
grant to help finance the purchase and development of the 23-acre property, which
Woda has an agreement to buy.
Fugate said the grant program derives
from a 1986 Ohio housing program for
low-income families.
Law Director David Graves advised
council that the proposed development
(1,500-square-foot homes on 9,000-squarefoot lots) meets all of the city’s building
and zoning requirements and their plans
had already been reviewed and approved
by the building inspector, fire and police
departments, so council could not opt to
eject the development.
After Fugate’s presentation, council
members asked many specific questions
about the program and the development,
and then voted to approve their letter of
endorsement for Woda’s grant application.
The development requires no city investment, though its streets would be dedicated city streets.
Fugate said that after the grant has been
approved, Woda would complete the purchase of the 23 acres and begin to construct the homes by acting as a general
contractor, and would employ local subcontractors to do the work. Fugate added
that Woda would market the homes to income-qualified families then construct the
houses, streets (which would be public,
not private streets) street lighting and in-
frastructure. Woda would manage the development (with an on-site manager, as
well as a regional manager) for 15 years,
after which the homes’ tenants would
have the option to purchase them.
When Councilman Steve Kovach
likened the arrangement to a “lease with
an option to buy,” Fugate agreed that
Woda’s program is analogous.
“These homes are targeted to low-income families, but it’s not a Section Eight
program; it’s low-income housing not subsidized housing – but the families’ incomes must fall between minimum and
maximum levels,” Fugate said. “For example, 23 of the units are designated for
five-member families with household income of at least $41,000; six would be
marketed to three-member families with
income of $17,130.”
Fugate said that Woda would maintain
all of the development’s common areas
(such as a picnic area and playground)
during the first 15 years. Before resident
families would be allowed to purchase
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN for
Gibbs Place, Sheffield Lake, Ohio. Image
courtesy of Woda
their homes, Fugate said, Woda would
have “educated them on how to be responsible homeowners.”
Council also unanimously approved a
resolution authorizing Mayor Dennis
Bring to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOA) with the LCPA to act
as the city’s agent for the demolition of
“vacant, abandoned, nuisance and condemned” residential properties. LCPA acts
as the operational arm of the Lorain
County Land Reutilization Corp. under
the Ohio Revised Code (ORC Chapter
1724.) Funding for the demolitions comes
from the Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Grant Program. Graves said the city
has identified three such properties for
demolition as soon as possible.

Avon Lake to hold its first business expo
AVON L AKE
By Bryan Wroten
To expand the city’s economic development
efforts, Avon Lake’s first business expo will be April
18 at Hinkley Lighting.
Eilleen Donahue, the chairwoman of the mayor’s
Economic Development Advisory Board, said expos
bring in the public and show them what businesses
are available to them.
“For Avon Lake, that would be good because these
four cities – Avon, Avon Lake, Sheffield Lake,
Sheffield Village – all sort of cross over and shop in
different areas,” she said. “In such a transient society, it’s nice to have the public in one spot, see all
the business and then be able to shop wherever they
want.”
When people read about business expos, they
know there are giveaways, she said, and people will
come if for no other reason than just the giveaways.
While they’re there, they can see what samples
restaurants are giving out or check out a business
they’ve been meaning to see, she said, and they can
do all of that in one spot.
“I just thought, as being the chairwoman of the
Economic Development Advisory Board, it’d be a
nice idea to do a business expo and let people know
what they have in their own city and around them,”
she said.
Along with helping connect the public with businesses, the expo is also an opportunity for businesses
to network with each other, Mayor Greg Zilka said.
The expo will also help raise money for the city’s
‘... it’d be a nice idea to do a business expo and let people know what
they have in their own city and around them.”

soon-to-be-formed community investment corporation (CIC), he said. The CIC will make low-interest,
short-term loans to small businesses that are otherwise still having a hard time getting loans from
banks, he said. The CIC will also need a board, he
said, and the city could find potential board
members at the expo.
The expo has only cost the city about $160 for
printing fliers and registration forms. Hinkley Lighting is allowing the city to use its space for the expo
for free.
Businesses wanting to register for the expo can
sign up on the city’s website, see ads in the local papers or wait for a ward council member to stop by
with a registration form, Donahue said. The cost is
$75 a booth or $100 if the business needs electricity.
Bigger expos, like those in downtown Cleveland, can
cost $300 to $500 a booth because of the larger
exposure, she said.
Hinkley Lighting will give the expo a 4,500square-foot media room, she said, which can hold
about 60 to 65 booths for businesses and restaurants
in the region. If more companies than that sign up,
she said, Hinkley will let them move into the 10,000square-foot warehouse.
Eventually, she would like the North Coast Area
Chamber of Commerce to run the expos, she said, but
the first one is always the hardest to set up, so the
city is handling it.
“It depends on the reaction of the public,”
she said. “You just don’t ever know. Every business
I’ve talked to in Avon Lake is really excited
about it.”

ZZ’s Big Top Game Night showcases big game from local hunters
AVON
By Shane Rogers
Perch, venison, elk and turtle, oh my!
ZZ’s Big Top in Avon held its 17th annual “Game
Night” Feb. 17.
Local hunters gathered at ZZ’s to share what they
bagged during the hunting season this past winter, and
to enjoy a few cold ones, of course.
“Wild game is better than fast food,” said Ken
Schwartz, one of the hunters participating in the event.
Keith Zeman, owner of ZZ’s, throws the event every
year as a celebration of local hunters. According to
Zeman, unlike other game nights around the area, he
doesn’t charge for entrance. In order to eat, all you have
to do is bring in something to share.
“I’m an old Avon guy, and the people here are old
Avon guys,” Zeman said. “It’s a collaboration of what
we’ve (hunted) over the winter and we’re going to continue the tradition (of ‘Game Night’).”
A banquet table sat in a corner of the bar that was
lined with smoked venison, fried perch, turtle soup and
so much more. Hunters meandered in, carrying what
they had bagged over the winter and everyone was
greeted with a hearty “Hello!”
After picking over the buffet the hunters all sat
around different tables swapping stories of the season
and of their lives.
“You can set us down at any part of town (Avon) and
I have hunted there,” said Matt Smith as he passed
around fried bluegill that he had caught.
With a beer in one hand and a piece of fresh game in
the other all the participants of “Game Night” appeared
set in making sure that this tradition, much like hunting
season, will be back again next year.

doing mostly cover songs. They transitioned to writing
original songs in August 2012 after Rehker moved back
to the Cleveland area from Boston and Shullenberger
moved up to Cleveland to pursue graduate studies. Bilancini was added to the band’s lineup just three weeks
ago to fill the much-needed role of bassist.
Persarchik, Rehker and Bilancini all attended Avon
Lake High School and graduated in 2007, 2007 and 2008,
respectively, but were only acquaintances until music
brought them together.
“All of the St. Joe’s (elementary school) kids don’t
know anyone from high school,” Rehker said, generally
describing the lack of recognition that Persarchik and
Bilancini have of former classmates.
“I always knew Matt as No. 7 on the (Avon Lake) football team,” said Bilancini in her best attempt at a Southern belle accent, while the others laughed and threw

the large “rainy day fund,” including the extra
$700,000 a year in cut expenses, the city would risk
lowering its credit rating and would have to pay
higher interest rates on its debt.
Republic Services offered a deal to extend the
contract again that took off a few dollars per quarter,
Zilka said, but council agreed with him that it was
time to bid out the contract. The city has had a good
relationship with Republic Services, he said, and
they have been responsive to any problems residents have.
Ward 1 Councilman Rob James, chairman of the
Public Service Committee, said he was surprised the

around the word “stalker.”
The band appears to have no shortage of chemistry,
on stage and off.
As for the music, Says She’s chemistry is helping its
members pave a slightly different path than a majority of
the all-male bands on the scene. With a female singer and
bassist, they are encountering battles they never imagined they’d have to fight.
“There is something incredibly powerful about having a female vocalist and bass player and name that reflects that in a style of music that is, in my opinion,
largely dominated by an inclination towards the masculine,” said Shullenberger through an e-mail because he
couldn’t attend the interview.
“As a girl you can’t just be average; you have to be
good to get respect,” Bilancini said.
Good appears to be an understatement as Says She
continues to play in venues around the Cleveland and
Lakewood area, most recently opening at Peabody’s in
Cleveland for the band Ballyhoo. Its next show will be

The committee will focus on a new contract for the
city, he said, but it will also entertain discussion of
possibly regionalizing trash collection services with
nearby cities.
Whether the 2014 contract would include automated pickup, which has the garbage trucks with an
arm that picks up the wheeled trash and recycling
carts, remains to be seen. While the mayor has
stated his preference for a contract including automated pickup, James said the costs to residents
should be council’s primary focus.
“If it will be expensive and automated, the decision is made for us,” he said.

Lion dance held at
Mark Pi’s China Gate
On Feb. 16, the Kwan Family dance team performed a traditional lion dance at Mark Pi’s restaurant in Avon Lake in honor of Chinese New Year.
Folklore has it that the lion brings good luck and fortune. The lion looks in dark places, pillars and doorways, where evil spirits linger, to chase away the bad
spirits to make room for good ones.

lion dance for more than thirty years in the Cleveland

the Battle of the Bands at the Phantasy Nite Club in
Cleveland Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
The band has come a long way from its first gig on
Dec. 21 at Wilbert’s in Cleveland, where no one showed
up, not even the other bands scheduled to play. Band
members ended up playing their set for their families, a
“guy from the city” and the “cranky bartender,” as
Rehker described him.
Although Says She may be starting off small, its passion, love for music, lightheartedness and support
system have the potential to help it continue rising
through the scene.
“I would like it to be,” Persarchik said about making
music a full-time gig. “I would like to make something
out of it.”

site preparation. The board unanimously voted to award
the bid to Sona Construction LLC. Zeller stated that a
pre-construction meeting with Sona, a general contractor
that has assured the board it would pay the prevailing wage
to local subcontractors’ employees, would be held as soon
as possible. Site preparation work could begin when the
weather permits tree clearing and digging for
underground utility preparation.
“Sona can be given notice to proceed immediately,”
Zeller said.
Board members then discussed possible times to hold
a groundbreaking ceremony, citing weather and the potential availability of state Sen. Gayle Manning and Reps.
Matt Lundy and Dan Ramos to participate. Members
agreed to tentatively set a date of March 9 for a 10 a.m.
official groundbreaking ceremony.
If the weather were clement on March 9, the groundbreaking ceremony would take place in the morning. The
annual Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City Schools Endowment
Fund fundraiser dinner at St. Teresa of Avila Parish Hall
will be in the evening.
Zeller said site plans for the building’s actual
construction have been submitted to the Sheffield Village
Planning Commission for approval, and to Regency
Construction for a detailed estimate of construction costs
of “everything except furniture and technology.”
In legislative action, the board unanimously approved
reworked policy changes for graduation requirements and
high school credit requirements for grade advancement to
accommodate Brookside’s transition from a trimester to a
semester system in 2014. It also approved preschool
enrollment policy and guidelines, Brookside’s 2013-2014
curriculum guide and the district’s 2013-2014 school year
calendar. It approved preschool tuition ($1,500) for
the 2013-2014 school year and the BHS Ski Club’s annual
trip to Peek’n Peak ski resort in New York state on Feb. 16
or March 2, depending on snow. The board’s next
meeting will be at 6 p.m. Monday at Tennyson Elementary
School.

How can a dental implant replace my lost tooth?
Dental implants are wonderful replacements for lost teeth. They are
made of a surgical grade titanium alloy, similar to prosthetic hip and knee
replacements. The dental implant is about the size of a screw that is
placed by a dental surgeon into the jawbone. (Think of the implant as the
root of a tooth.) They can be placed in the upper or lower jaws. They
can be placed in areas where there are missing teeth as long as there is
enough bone to support it. The surgeon will numb the gums and make a
small hole into the jawbone. The implant is then carefully placed to
allow the bone to heal and grow about the implant. After six to twelve
Glenn J. Kuemerle, DDS
weeks of healing, the implant is then made ready for the tooth replacement part— the crown that fits onto the implant. An impression is made
so the dentist can have the crown made to look and feel as close to a natural tooth as possible.
Once the crown is fitted to the implant and the teeth around it, it is either cemented or screwed
into place. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. One big use for them is to
hold dentures in place for someone who has been missing teeth for a long time. The implant supported dentures are so much more stable than conventional dentures. The stability provided by
implants can be life changing for denture wearers whose dentures are so loose that they find it embarrassing or difficult to eat and talk.
I hope this has been helpful. Our office provides outstanding general dentistry for patients of
all ages, and we have restored many, many dental implants and have been able to help denture
wearers in our practice! Please contact us at 933-4486 or www.avonlakedentistry.com if you have
any further questions.

By Joe Ostrica
Avon Lake junior diver Tyler
Nock has had his sights set on
qualifying for the state championship ever since he started
competing for the Shoremen.
After falling just shy one spot last
season, Nock overcame the hurdle last week with a spectacular
performance at the Bowling
Green State University Division I
district meet. Placing second
overall with a final score of
424.65, Nock will be competing
for a state title Saturday.
“I was very overwhelmed,”
Nock said after realizing how
high he finished. “The feeling
was indescribable, knowing that
all of my hard work paid off and
I had reached my goal of advancing to state. I never thought,
however, that I would be able to
come in second place.”

Avon Lake sixth-graders win league championship
AVON LAKE
By Joe Ostrica
The Avon Lake sixth-grade girls basketball team won
the Lake Erie Travel League regular season championship with a perfect 10-0 record recently. Playing in
the competitive “A” league, the Shoregals found much
success with their pressure defense.
“Our strength was our pressure defense,” coach
Ron Jantz said. “Our defense gave up just 12 points
per game during the season. Ball movement and balanced scoring were also keys to our success. We consistently had nearly every girl on the team score
points in every game.”
Avon Lake’s biggest victory was a thrilling 22-21 win
over Olmsted Falls. Both teams were undefeated entering the contest.
“We won on a 3-pointer by Amber Achladis at the
buzzer,” Jantz said. “It was a great game and an instant classic.”
The Lake Erie Travel Basketball League is comprised of teams from Brecksville, North Olmsted,
Olmsted Falls, Westlake, Amherst, Lakewood, Bay,
Avon and Strongsville.
“It is not often you get to experience a championship
league season, and even more rare an undefeated one,”
Jantz said. “The girls really were committed to each
other and the team. It was a true team, in every sense,
and it showed on the floor.”
DIVING, from page B1
were around the same level, competing for
one of the seven spots to state. I knew I
couldn’t afford a mistake, but had to complete each dive with the best of my ability.”
Nock credits his difficult journey to the
hard work he put in the offseason.
“I have been training for about six years
and have been diving year-round for the
past five years,” he said. “This past summer, I drove myself to Cleveland State University five times a week and practiced for
about six hours each day. My coach had
sessions in the morning and afternoon, and
I chose to go to both sessions each day.
THE AVON LAKE sixth-grade girls basketball team includes (front row, L-R) Elle Dils, Jamie Coughlin, Natalie Appleton,
Allie Heschel and Kelsey Simmerly; back row: Elizabeth Murdock, Caroline Jantz, Amber Achladis and Paighton Masterson. Not pictured: Coaches Ron Jantz, Amy Lodge and Maggie Heschel. Photo courtesy of Ron Jantz
“I also entered in AAU competitions in various states this summer
and worked on 1-meter, 3-meter and
platform diving. I was able to learn an
11-dive list using the 5-meter, 7-meter
and 10-meter platform. In addition, I
have been focusing on strength and
weight training daily at Avon Lake
High School.”
Confident in his dives, Nock said in
practice he is focusing on the little things,
such as his approach, lineups and entries.
“My goals for state are to be in the top
16 out of the 24 divers, as those are the
divers that will not be cut, and be able to
complete all 11 dives,” he said. “I am
MANNING & MANNING
looking to gain the experience of competing against the best divers in Ohio so
next year I can reach a spot on the
podium in the top eight.”
Nock is appreciative of his support
team and those who have helped him
achieve his goals, including his teammates and coaches.
“I attribute a lot of my success to my
coach, Chris Dalman,” Nock said. “Chris is
taking a job diving for Sea World in California next month, and he will be greatly
missed. However, our new club coach is
Rich Karbon, the Cleveland State dive
coach, and I am looking forward to working with him in the offseason.”
Menzer, Pettegrew
just miss qualifying
With only the top two finishers qualifying for the Division I state swimming meet,
two local swimmers had strong finishes but
came up just shy of advancing. Their performances helped their teams finish among
the top 20, with Avon Lake girls placing
12th overall and the Avon girls finishing
18th out of the 28 teams competing.
Avon Lake’s Brittany Menzer placed
third in the girls 500-yard freestyle with
a time of 5:10.79. Avon swimmer Erin
Pettegrew placed fourth in the girls 100yard butterfly. Pettegrew finished with a
time of 59.79.

Bernosky improved to 29-7 overall.
Mayer is now 25-15. D.J. Murdock (145 overall) advanced after taking fourth
at 145 pounds.
Brookside’s Ian Standen and Ivan

wrestlers won their final matches of
the day, taking third place in their respective weight classes. Standen
placed third at 145 to improve to 4210 overall. Mendoza took third at 220,
improving to 24-10. The Brookside
duo will compete at the Bowling
Green district this weekend.

Can investors learn from yoga followers?
It’s probably not on your calendar, but World Yoga
Day takes place on Sunday. As more people have discovered its healthful benefits, yoga has grown in popularity. But whether or not you practice yoga, you can
apply its lessons to other areas of your life, such as investing.
Specifically, consider the following yoga-related
themes and how they might translate into investment
habits that may be beneficial:
Balance – If you observe advanced yoga practitioners, you will be amazed at the balance they exhibit during certain positions. But for serious yoga students, the
idea of “balance” goes beyond physical movements and
extends to a concept of life that emphasizes, among
other things, an avoidance of extremes. As an investor,
you too need to avoid extremes, such as investing too
aggressively, too conservatively or too sporadically. By
building a balanced portfolio, and by investing regularly, you can help improve your chances of making
progress toward your financial goals.
Flexibility – Among its many benefits, yoga helps
people increase their flexibility – and greater flexibility
results in fewer injuries and an increased capacity to
enjoy many physical activities. As an investor, you need
to be flexible enough to adjust your portfolio as needed
FINANCIAL
FOCUS
Reported By
BOB BROOKS, AAMS
while still following a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your individual goals, risk tolerance and time
horizon.
Relaxation – For yoga students, proper relaxation is
essential to achieving mental equanimity, emotional balance and inner strength. But relaxation doesn’t always
come easily, even experienced yoga practitioners need
to work at it. As an investor, you also may need to train
yourself to relax because, given the ups and downs of
the market, it’s not hard to become overwrought and
make ill-advised decisions based on short-term events.
Staying calm and maintaining a long-term view of things
may help you make better investment decisions.
Positive thinking – Our own thoughts and actions
are largely responsible for creating our happiness and
success, according to yoga teachings. And positive
thinking can play a key role in investing, too. For example, if you were to constantly look at negative headlines,
you might conclude that it is pointless to invest for the
future because external events – economic instability
abroad, political squabbles at home, natural disasters
and so on – will just disrupt your plans. Consequently,
you might decide not to invest, or invest in such a way
that can make progress toward your financial goals difficult. But if you maintain a positive attitude, you may be
more inclined to invest wisely for your future.
Visualization – In yoga, visualization is often used to
reduce stress. At any given time, you might find it difficult to relax, but you can use your imagination to see
yourself, and put yourself in a relaxed state. As an investor, you need to visualize your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, before you can define a strategy to
help you work toward them. By seeing yourself where
you want to be, you’ll be motivated to take the actions
necessary to work toward getting there.
Try putting the principles of yoga to work; they may
help you become a better investor.

Housing continues recovery - big story is the limited inventory
The National Association of Realtors release on December 2012 housing sales again illuminates the path of recovery of U.S. housing markets. While many would focus on
the improving home prices, the story currently may be
how few homes are currently available for sale. December’s 1.82 million existing home listing tally coupled with
the current sales pace, yields a 4.4-month supply of homes
available for sale. That is the smallest inventory seen since
the 4.3-month level reported in May 2005.
Although these are National statistics, they correlate
very well with our local market. Locally we have 344
properties for sale while 381 have title transferred during
the last six months. This yields a 5.4-month supply of
homes as of Feb. 10, 2013. The 344 properties for sale is
the lowest number of homes on the market since July,
2004.
Nationally December 2012 sales were up 12.8 percent
compared to December 2011. Despite the effects of limited supply available for sale and more stringent lending
underwriting issues, housing continues the healing
process. Using a 12-month moving average, December
2012 national sales numbers marked 18 consecutive
months of increase with 2012 averaging 4.67 million sales
versus 4.32 million in December 2011, a gain of 8.95 percent.
As sales (demand) continues to have positive pressure
R E A L E STAT E
HOTLI N E
Reported By
KEN KODGER
and the number of listings (supply) shrinks, prices are rising
nationally. The 12-month average of the median U.S.
prices rose 6.6 percent in December 2012 compared to
December 2011, increasing from $164,600 to $175,500.
From the peak to trough of the housing bubble, home values fell 29 percent and today are 21.8 percent less than the
peak in 2006, which was simply not sustainable. The interaction of supply and demand portends a continuation of
rising prices as 2013 progresses.
Once again our local market mirrored the National
trend. The 12-month average sales price of properties sold
locally rose but only 1.8 percent in 2012 compared to
2011, increasing from $208,325 to $211,975, however
the total 2012 sales rose to 807 properties compared to
only 658 sales in 2011, an increase of over 22 percent.
From the peak to the trough the local housing bubble
home values fell only 9.4 percent and today are only 7.8
percent less than the peak. Caution: averages are always
deceptive but as a comparison, local to national, they work
ok. Why deceptive? Because as a very active local Realtor I
know that the price swing was much greater than the 9.4
percent average. Considering the decorating and other
amenities which were “given away” during the down turn,
my opinion is that our price bubble peak to trough moved
somewhere between 15 and 20 percent.
Nationally it is reported: Distressed sales totaled 24 percent of all December 2012 closings versus 32 percent in
December 2011; Short sales and foreclosures each made
up 12 percent of the monthly sales in December 2012;
Foreclosure sales on average sold for 17 percent less than
non-distressed properties; Short sales sold at a 16 percent
discount to arms-length transactions; First-time home buyers made up 30 percent of all purchases versus 31 percent
a year ago; and buyers paying all cash acquired 29 percent
of all homes in December 2012.
The bottom line is that housing continues the road to
recovery nationally as well as locally. In turn, so goes the
housing market, so goes the economy, and the outlook for
the economy gets brighter each day as housing trudges
back.

Great Lakes Brewing Co. (GLBC) is
preparing a second batch of its
Butcher’s Brew, with all proceeds from
the sale of the beer going to the West
Side Market recovery and improvements. The beer will be tapped in the
GLBC brewpub this April.
Pat Conway, brewery co-owner, said
the West Side Market has been an integral part of the brewpub’s operation
since it opened its doors in 1988. “We
would never have come to the neighborhood if it hadn’t been for the West
Side Market, so we have an emotional
bond with them, in addition to the business bond that we’ve developed over
two decades,” he noted.
Butcher’s Brew first made its appearance in the fall of 2012, as the official
brew of the West Side Market’s centennial celebration.
The International Beer Fest, traditionally held in the spring at the I-X
Center, will become part of the lineup
at the eighth annual Fabulous Food
Show, Nov. 8-10.
Jeremy Levine, I-X Center director of
events, said the move is being made to
provide more content and value for
food show attendees. “We are combining the best assets of the International
Beer Fest with the Fabulous Food Show
to continue to build this event as the
premier culinary celebration,” he said.
In addition to the incorporation of the
International Beer Fest, a decision was
made at the I-X Center to focus on one
culinary event annually. The spring
Fabulous Food Show will not return as
a stand-alone event, keeping the emphasis on the fall show. Tickets for the
Fabulous Food Show will go on sale
this summer.

Who will take home an Oscar Sunday night?
By Joe Ostrica
Below are my predictions for winners of
the six key categories at Sunday’s Academy
Awards.
Best Picture
Nominees: “Amour,” “Argo,” “Beasts of
the Southern Wild,” “Django Unchained,”
“Les Miserables,” “Life of Pi,” “Lincoln,”
“Silver Linings Playbook” and “Zero Dark
Thirty.”
Outlook: This is one of the most interesting races in Oscar history, with no clear
frontrunner running away from the rest of
the pack right now. As far back as November, and after it landed a leading 12 Oscar
nominations, 2013 looked like it was going
to belong to “Lincoln.” But then a funny
thing happened, or rather, the snub happened. After Ben Affleck was snubbed for a
Best Director nomination for “Argo,” it appeared all of Hollywood has rushed to
make up for this mindboggling omission by
honoring him and his film ever since then.
“Argo” won Best Ensemble at the Screen
Actors Guild Awards, Best Director for Affleck at the Directors Guild Awards and Best
Pictures at the Producers Guild Awards. It
even won Best Picture at the Golden
Globes. The momentum has definitely
swung to “Argo,” and with Affleck as one of
the film’s nominated producers, he can still
win an Oscar Sunday night if his film wins.
Awards strategist genius Harvey Weinstein
is definitely going to push his beloved film
“Silver Linings Playbook,” which has four
nominated actors in all four categories. If he
can get enough votes from the acting
branch, the biggest division of the academy,
he may pull an upset. But it looks safe to
say 2013 is the year of “Argo.”
Best Director
Nominees: Michael Haneke (“Amour”),
Ang Lee (“Life of Pi”), David O. Russell
(“Silver Linings Playbook”), Steven Spielberg (“Lincoln”) and Ben Zeitlin (“Beasts of
the Southern Wild”).
Outlook: This group just proves the directing branch is screwy in its voting system. Affleck and “Zero Dark Thirty”
director Kathryn Bigelow looked like sure
things before the nominations were announced, but were left off the list. Quentin
Tarantino deserves a spot here just for having the guts to make a movie like “Django
Unchained.” The fact that it’s a brilliant
epic only solidifies the fact the voters are
out of touch. Since “Argo” is likely to take
Best Picture, honoring Spielberg with his
third directing Oscar is a way the academy
can still honor “Lincoln.” Lee’s work in
“Life of Pi” is brilliant, and probably the
best of this bunch, but he’ll probably have
to take a back seat to Spielberg on this one.
“ARGO” STAR AND producer/director Ben Affleck (far right) may be drinking celebratory
drinks on Oscar night. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.
Lawrence, but it appears the love for “Silver
Linings Playbook” among fellow actors will
give Lawrence the edge.
Best Actor
Nominees: Daniel Day-Lewis (“Lincoln”), Denzel Washington (“Flight”),
Joaquin Phoenix (“The Master”), Bradley
Cooper (“Silver Linings Playbook”) and
Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables).
Outlook: Day-Lewis is going to win his
third Oscar for a leading role. If he doesn’t,
it will be the biggest upset in Oscar history.
Best Supporting Actor
Nominees: Tommy Lee Jones (“Lincoln”), Alan Arkin (“Argo”), Philip Seymour Hoffman (“The Master”), Christoph
Waltz (“Django Unchained”) and Robert De
Niro (“Silver Linings Playbook”).
Outlook: Forget the fact this list did not
include Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L.
Jackson, who were also brilliant in “Django
Unchained” along with co-star Waltz. This
is the toughest category to predict, and
every nominee is a previous Oscar winner.
Waltz has already won awards for his work
in “Django,” and he almost has as much
screen time as leading actor Jamie Foxx, appearing on screen for well over two hours.
Best Actress
Nominees: Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark
Thirty”), Jennifer Lawrence (“Silver Linings
Playbook”), Naomi Watts (“The Impossible”), Quvenzhane Wallis (“Beasts of the
Southern Wild”) and Emmanuelle Riva
(“Amour”).
Outlook: This is a two-person battle,
coming down between Chastain and
Jones looks like he can be the spoiler from
“Lincoln,” but then again, Waltz and Jones
could cancel each other out and De Niro
may land his first Oscar in 32 years (and
third overall). And who could forget Hoffman, who was superb in “The Master,” a
film named after his character and one in
which he went toe-to-toe with co-star
Phoenix. This one is too tough to gamble
on. I would vote for Waltz, but I have a feeling Jones may win it.
Best Supporting Actress
Nominees: Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables”), Sally Field (“Lincoln”), Helen
Hunt (“The Sessions”), Amy Adams (“The
Master”), Jacki Weaver (“Silver Linings
Playbook”).
Outlook: Hathaway. Period.
