Police chief warns parents that
toy 'lookalike guns' can be a
deadly mistake
CRMNALftTftAFFlC * PERSONALlNJURV * W,LLS. PROBATE. BUSINESS
AVON LAKE
By Lori E. Switaj
Avon Lake Police Chief Dave
Owad demonstrated the need for par-,,
ents to be mindful of toy guns after
placing three guns, two toy and one
police issue, side by side to demonstrate the similarity.
The three guns appear strikingly
similar up close, but the differences
can mean life or death. Only one of
the guns, a duty issue firearm, can
actually kill. But to a police officer
facing a youth or adult with one of
the non-lethal guns, the differences
can be undetectable.
"The problem is, upon approach,
law enforcement is placed in a difficult position of determining whether
the weapon he or see sees is capable
of deadly force or is just a toy," Owad
said.
The two toy guns were both confiscated from juveniles by Avon Lake
officers.
"This gun was removed from a
juvenile while fleeing police a while
ago," Owad said of a plastic nonfunctional toy gun. "I kept it because
it was such a good example."
A third gun Owad displayed, a Y &
P air pistol with a removable magazine was confiscated from a juvenile
after a resident called the police to
.report an individual carrying a
weapon.
"Our officers cannot assume it's a
toy," Owad said. "We have to assume
it's a deadly weapon.
"Parents need to be mindful if
these are displayed they can be confused for a real firearm."

This toy gun has no moveable parts. Confiscated from police, the orange tip was
painted black to more closely resemble a

three capable of deadly force.

Toy manufacturers are required to
color tho tip of a toy gun orange.
However the orangc'lip is not visiblu
if lUo Run Is being carried in n waistband, Owad said.
Both toy guns the police chief displayed had their tips repainted black.
In October of 2003, a 9-year-old
Lorain boy xvas arrested at gunpoint
after waving a toy guy over his head
while sitting outside a store.
Police were called after a passer-by
saw the boy playing with the toy gun
which was spray painted black.
Police reports said the boy was "waving what appeared to be a black handgun above his head," and resembled a
genuine gun.
Tho child was charged with inducing panic.
This gun has movable parts, but is actually an air pistol with a removable magazine. "Our officers cannot ammume it's a
toy," Avon Lake Police Chief Dave Owad
said. The toy gun was confiscated from a
Juvenile.
"Obviously, someone got scared
and called tho police," Lorain Lt.
Robert Poll told reporters following
the incident. "Nobody driving down
the street could tell it was a toy gun,
so that's where the panic comes in."

For these parents, saving kids is a calling they must answer
AVON LAKE
By Lori E. Switaj
The statistics are profound: More
; than 500,000 children today remain in
.. orphanages in Russia, a country devastated by poverty. The children are
often the offspring of parents rendered
too poor or unable to care for their
children.
Many of those half a million children languish in orphanages having
their basic needs attended to, but little
else.
"They don't have parents that love
them," Karen Under of Avon Lake
said. "They aren't taught skills and
their schooling lags."
Other statistics are frightening. The
children age-out of the system by the
time they are 14-16, and with minimal
schooling and few skills, are expected
to go off on their own. Many of those
children, especially girls, are picked
by the Russian mafia and forced into
prostitution. One in 10 children who
age out kill themselves.
Kidsave International, an advocacy
group, has been working to help place
children, not just from inner cities in
the United States, but many from the
Russian territories of Smolensk,' St.
Petersburg,
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk,
Moscow, Almaty and Kazakhstan.
Most of the children are hard-to-place
older children.
For Under, her husband Greg and
biological son Sean, adopting from
Russia proved to be lifesaving experiences. Ten years ago Linder adopted
Mladenka, or Denka, now 14, through
All God's Children International. She
became involved .with advocacy for
Kidsave International, helping place
children in six-week trial foster programs in the Cleveland area. As sometimes happens, Ekaterina, or "Inna,"
was not a match for the family she was
staying with. .
'
"Inna wasn't planned," she said. "I
was doing advocacy work for Kidsave
and they called me and said they
needed to place her."
Then 7, Inna had spent her entire
life in a crowded orphanage and was
suffering post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, Inna, now 10 is a healthy
Westview student, although Linder
admits the first year was rough, and
the family experienced on unusual
delay with the adoption process,
which was mired in red-tape. The wait
though has been worth it"I've adopted two older children
and they defy the whole logic of the
thought these children 'can't attach,'"
Under, ii nurse, said. "We've literally
saved two lives. They've .had a very,
very rough beginning, hut they're darling. Most people don't understand
the blessings you got in return far outweigh what you have ever given. It is
sucli a joy to see a child ride a bike for
the first time at ago 8. "Greg, my husband is wonderful and very giving,
and we are so fortunate."
Linder doesn't sugarcoat the adoption procedure,
"There's a lot of red tape and you
need a lot of patience," she said.
Inna is not the only local child Kidsave hns placed. Across town in
another "upscale home are natural

Russia and now live in Avon Lake. Neither sets of parents met before the adoption.
brothers Alex, 13, and Josh, 12,
Meade. Both grew up in one of four
orphanages located in the small town
of Kazakhstan, cotncidentally in the
one as Inna. The boys live with Drew
Small and his partner Hill Meade. The
boys came over with the same group
as Inna, but experienced less red tape
and were fully adopted in approximately nine months from when they
met their foster parents.
For Small, the "instant parenting
from 0 to 2 kids" required "an adjustment all around," but the boys have
settled in. Both Small and Under said
cultural differences and language barriers needed to be overcome, and they
still continue to work on them,
"At the orphanage, they weren't
taught safety issues and so much is
new to them," Linder said. "They
would just walk out into the street not
realizing they could be hit."
All four adopted children learned
English quickly.
"It took about six months to learn,"
Small said. "They pick up English and
slowly forget Russian."
Small and Moadc were in the
process of adopting when they came
across an article about Kidsave in The
Plain Dealer. They called immediately
and within two days, both boys were
in their foster care.
"It generally doesn't operate that
way." Small said, noting that Kidsave
is generally contacted first by parents
interested in adopting. Parents are
then screened and have the opportunity to foster children when an annual
group arrives in the summer.
Both Linder and Small have traveled to Russia to complete adoptions,
expressing regret at the huge number
of orphans residing in a number of
orphanages.
"You w a n t to save each one," Linder said.
Kidsave is not an adoption agency,
but assists with the trial foster care
nncl matching of children and potential adopters. Kidsave will, however.
provide guidance to qualified adoption agencies. •
This week, Kidsave brought in
another nine children, who will be
placed in a six-week foster care during
the group's annual trek from Russia,
The children arrived July 15 and their
stay will include picnics and activities in the Cleveland area. Ellen Simoson, an Avon resident who is involved
with advocacy for the organization, is
helping provide local families with
information.

It's been over two months since
Greg Romes first stood before the
city's planning commission with his
request to rezone 22 acres of property
south of Detroit Road and east of SR
83 for what he calls a "City Center"
for Avon.
Planning commission members
voted 4-1 for a positive recommendation to city council (Ward 3 Councilman Tim Nickum cast the lone 'no').
Since then, city council members
have hoard two presentations from
Romes regarding the project and the
. members are still grappling with
whether or not to grant the request.
Council has already -turned down
another rozoning request (now in litigation) from Steve Schafer, reprcsonting the Village at Creeksido. Though
both requests are unrelated, the
underlying theme is the same. Some
council members are concerned with
" "commercial creep," and wonder
where it will end.
Romes presented council members
with a Modified Rezoning Analysis
•, prepared by Albert J. Dispenza on
July "11. In the report, Dispenza outlines several keys points for city officials to keep in mind with regards to
the rezoning request. The PRESS has
obtained a copy of the report in which
Romes-had highlighted a number of
key elements.
"Generally speaking, except for in
truly urban areas, there are four Prime
.Factors that must be carefully examined when determining the soundness of any rezoning," the report
states. "These prime factors are: reasonableness; consistency of the zoning to a plan; the issue of spot zoning;
and equity."
Reasonableness refers to contiguous properties; tho immediate vicinity; and tho benefit to iho community
as a whole and in tho long run.
"The intersection of SR 03 and
Detroit Road is an oxcimpla ai'n mixed
: commercial district with developmental opportunities," the report continues. "In only about 10 years, this
former township crossroads has
evolved into the center point of
Avon's new central business district."
66"What about people
to the west of 83? That is
what we are fighting for...
where does it stop? 99
-Councilman Tim Nickum
The report also questions the city's
Master Plan, last modified in 1992.
"The Plan discusses a 'downtown
core,'" the report sates. "It makes an
important statement that buffers this
report's statements about mixed uses,
primarily mixed commercial uses,
being optimal for the SR 83 and
Detroit Road district: '....mixed uso
structures (land uses or principal uses
for zoning purposes) in a city of (the)
size of Avon make a good deal of
sense, particularly in the downtown
core area and the small neighborhood
based retail/office areas indicated in
the Plan.'"
"Overall, regarding the prime factor of environmental equity, no further discussion is necessary regarding
th,e proposed rezoning because no
evidence exists that commercial
development would compromise the
environment, more than residential
development, and as a land owner,
Lake Pointe Construction has a right
to develop its land," the report states.
The final conclusion from the
report is that "Avon should continue
to tactically increase its commercial
territory for the sake of future prosperity. Planning and zoning are tools
and it is Ilia opinion of tho report that
these tools need to be sharpened. It is
my opinion (Dispenza) that the rozoning proposal brought by Lake PoiiiUi

Construction is prudent and consistent with the Avon Master Plan. I recommend its approval as presented."
Councihvoman JoAune Easterday
suggested that Romes consider using
tho property as il is zoned for residential housing including clusters
and apartments.
"1 would never purchase the property across from Avon Commons to
live," Romes said. "Plus, Avon doesn't have the tool-clustering zoninganymore."
Easlerday said the city would
"bring that (cluster zoning) hack."
She went on to single out a number of
Lake Pointe Construction cluster
developments that were near commercial or industrial areas.
"Wildherry (in Avon Lake) is a
cluster development," Romes said.
"Residential development is really
best suited for a quiet development."
Councilman Larry Kroeger suggested turning the property into an area
much like Crocker Park, on a smaller
scale, with commercial and residential combined.
"I don't believe the city would
want throe or four story buildings at
that intersection," Romes said. "My
initial concept was to have some residential above these buildings if we
could logically do so."
Councilman Mark Julius again
questioned the thought process of the
planning commission, as well as why
tho commission is looking at zoning
issues.
"I was the only 'no' vote," Nickum
said. "I honestly do not know the
thought process."
Julius also questioned
why
approval was granted from the commission without a traffic study being
presented. Romes is currently working on preparing a traffic analysis.
"With respoct to the traffic study,
you need to know the trips," Consulting Engineer Mike Bramhall said. "We
didn't know what to do a traffic study
on."
ro
Romes lias an outline of the property and possible building sizes, but
has not been able to divulge the possible tenants for the City Center.
"I look at the planning commission as a very able body to make a
decision," he said. "The fact that you
have five more people giving input on
a project would be something to consider."
Council members also questioned
where the line for commercial development along SR 83 would end and
raised concerns for the residents
across the road.
"What about people to the west of
83?" Nickum said. "That makes it
something you wouldn't want. That is'
what we are fighting for. All the way
to
Bentley
Park
and
Eagle
Creek-whore does it stop? This property is residential. Build townhouses."
Concerns from council also arose
regarding "spot zoning."
According to the report, the Lake
Pointe proposal is not a case of spot
zoning.
"In and of itself, spot zoning is not
illegal and is not about size,'1 the
report states. "Undoubtedly, the concept of spot zoning is a subjective
one, while it would appear from common understanding of the subject that
it is a cut and dry question-an objective one.
"Even when an! isolated parcel,
regardless of its size, is rezoned to a
classification differing from those
around it, the rezoning is nonetheless
defendable when the new classification is called for in a plan, and when
the now classification permits-uses
with similar impacts as other existing
uses in the ambient area of the purported spot zoning (Terrace Manor
Civic Association v. Town of North
Hampsteqd, Supreme Court'of New
York, 2003)."
' • • . ' • : '
Romes hopes to present the results
of a traffic study during council's next
work session on Aug. 1. A public
hearing is scheduled for Aug: 8.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Facts about donation
PRESS
Points,
To the Editor:
On Juno 29, 2005, there was an ad from
LifeShare which really disturbed inc. The
ad ialked about the facts of donating blood.
I would like to tell everyone about the fact
I was not aware of. In Die winter of 2001,
Avon Lake High School students, along
with parents, donated a record amount of
blood (384 units) in my daughter's name in
her fight against leukemia.
In the year 2002, when blood was needed for my daughter's bone marrow transplant, the fact I was not told by LifeShare
was they could not send any blood to hospitals outside of Lorain County and since
my daughter was in The Cleveland Clinic
we could not use the blood bank source for
blood.
So I am asking LifeShare that if they
want to give readers the facts of donating
blood, give them all the facts.

EMH director on TELCEA
There has been a fair amount of wellintentioned, but, perhaps misunderstood
information published recently about the
new EMH Avon Emergency Care Center
(AECC) and The Eastern Lorain County
EMS Association (TELCEA). There have
been questions raised about the offer from
TELCEA to provide medical direction for
communities
in
eastern
Lorain
Country-an offer that was readily accepted
by the cities of Avon, Sheffield Village and
Avon Lake. To help clarify a somewhat
confusing subject, I am writing to address
these concerns point-by-point-and to
assure residents of eastern Lorain County
they will soon have access to first class
. emergency care that's closer to home.
TELCEA protocols will place no
restrictions on where an EMS crew may
take a patient. Deciding factors, in order of
priority, will be: medical necessity of
patient, patient request, availability and
turnaround constraints of EMS crews. At
all times the decision will be made by EMS
crews on the scene along with medical
control. TELCEA will promote an open
emergency care •environment as opposed
to a restrictive one,
•; • • Though TELCEA is new, our team and
, I have a long history of providing medical
direction to the fire departments of Elyria,
Elyria Township, Sheffield Township,
Sheffield Village, Grafton, LaGrange and
Carlisle Township—as well as Lifo Care
Ambulance and Dickens Ambulance services. I have personally served as the EMH
EMS medical director since 1996 in addition to serving as the Lorain County representative to the state of Ohio's region nine
EMS advisory board. And I have also
served as the medical director for the Life
Care Paramedic Academy. It's also important to know that TELCEA will bring some
of the latest technologies directly to the fire
stations in participating communities-as
' opposed to those crews having to leave
Lorain County for certain training as
they've done in the past. Our goal is to
make TELCEA training the best it can be.
and even more convenient for rescue
crews. I applaud and welcome the participation of chiefs Root, Young and Grizzell,
and the men and women of their rescue
crews, to make TELCEA a source of pride
for Lorain County.
Not every ER is equipped to handle
every kind of case. The new facility will be
another convenient option-one that
should be especially welcomed during
high demand ER times such as flu season.
The EMH AECC will be a 10,000 square
fool facility that will be leading edge in
every way. It will have 18 patient treatment rooms-four of which will be Clinical
Decision Units-to accommodate stays of
up to 24 hours. Like most other hospitals
in Lorain County and western Cuyahoga
County, this emergency department will
not bo a trauma center, however, there will
he two critical care rooms to accommodate
and stabilize tho most severe patients. The
facility will be staffed by a Board Certified
emergency physician at all times. There
will be highly trained nurses and paramedics staffed in accordance with tho
American College of Emergency Physician
and Nurses Association guidelines to
accommodate expected volumes. There
will not be interns or medical students on
site delivering care. Some critical or severe
cases may not be appropriate for the EMH
AECC. The judgment of paramedics in the
field will be instrumental in determining
the appropriate venue to treat these cases.
There is concern that patients brought
to the new EMH AECC may have to be
transported to another facility. This is
nothing new. Transfers happen every day
at almost all hospital emergency rooms-it's
common practice. Stabilizing a patient
quickly is critically important. Once a
patient is stabilized, well-considered decisions can be made about the best course
and place of treatment. At EMH, it is very
common for us to receive patients-cspecially cardiac patients-from other area
hospitals with ERs in the middle of the
night and on weekends for treatments and
interventions. Our intorventional cardiology program (rated 5 stars and "tfl Best in
Ohio" by HeallhGrados) can ramp up
quickly at any hour. Further, it is common
for accident and trauma victims to bo seen
in local ERs first for stabilization-and then
transferred to a regional trauma center.
From tho beginning, city government
leaders in eastern Lorain County have
been supportive of the EMH AECC in
Avon, They immediately recognized the
value the EMH AECC would be to their
communities and the value in having
their rescue crews stay closer to their
home bases-getting their residents
appropriate care more quickly. Having
spent more than 20 years providing
emergency medicine, I'm confident the
new EMH AECC will be a significant
community asset and I give you my
assurance that as its medical director, I
will keep our team focused on providing
the most current and compassionate
emergency care delivered by some of
the most skilled medical professionals
available.
Finally, I hope all concerned and
interested community residents will
come visit the' new AECC during an
open house on Aug. 21, from 1-4 pm.
When you see it, chances are you'll be
impressed and convinced of its value to
your community loo. We hope to see
you there.

Poor decision
To the Editor:
I ani writing this letter to state my
objection to the "administrative" decision
made by Mayor Berner and the Avon Lake
fire chief. Because of this, the paramedics' medical direction would be
changed from the WeSHARE program to
TELCEA. 1 want our paramedics to stay
with this proven and safe system
[WeSHARE). I do not want to be taken to
a "free standing" emergency room if 1 am
in a critical condition. 1 want to be taken
to a full-service hospital.
Tho paramedics in this city with the
WeSHARE program have become the best
in the area. 1 trust them and want to support them, as well as every rcsidmit of
Avon Lake should. Please get informed
and call your councilman, mayor and firii
chief. This will affect us all.
Diane Krufel, RN
Avon Lake
Stay with what works
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter to object to the
decision of Avon Lake Fire Chief
Grizzell and Mayor Berner to change
emergency control of our fire department from WeSHARE to TELCEA
(Lorain community, EMH). WeSHARE is
a consortium of west side communities
and fire departments from Lakewood,
Fairview, Bay Village, Westlake, North
Olmsted, Avon Lake, Avon and North
Ridgeville since 1999. This organization
has done an excellent job of ensuring
our paramedics receive the education
and resources to care for the residents of
our city.
To change medical direction when
this "free standing" emergency room
has not boon evaluated is not appropriate for our best interest. I will not have
my family taken to a free standing ER in
stable or unstable condition, only to
have them taken again by private ambulance or other means, to a full-service
hospital for admission or more appropriate care.
The mayor needs more research on
his decision and stay on the side of an
established premier emergency service
provider to tho residents of Avon Lake.
Please be aware that if the Avon free- standing ER becomes the .medical control of Lorain County squads, this puts
the facility in charge of where you will
be taken if you are unable to specify or
have no one to speak for you, i.e., when
in doubt, EMH.
For many of our residents, this is not
their first choice.
Crissie Nicholson, RN
Avon Lake
Questions new ER
' To the Editor:
I have heard both sides of the story
about the free standing ER in Avon. It
seems that it was being shoved down our
throats before we knew about it. I have
spoken with a lot of people and have not
found one in favor of this issue we are facing.
1 for one, am against this move for
many reasons, but the main one is the safety of the people of Avon Lake. Can it handle a major trauma or will precious minutes be wasted in calling transportation to
a hospital after they have the patient there?
Also, who pays for the second transport?
In many injuries there is a term called the
golden hour when treatment has the best
chance to work and this time will be wasted if they need to transport to a hospital.
Can they treat a major heart attack? How
about a spinal cord injury? I do not think
that I want to trust the decision of two people to decide where I go for treatment in
the event of a major life-threatening event.
We have a very good system now so
why would we waul to go back to a system
we left a few years ago that is inferior? i
think the people of Avon Lake should have
the right to vote on this issue as it will
affect all of our safety and well being in the

Mingee is named Social Worker of the Year
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
Barbara J. Mingeo, who rounded Northeastern
Professional Family Services 10 years ago, was
named Lorain County's Socinl Worker of llie Year
last week by the F i r s t ' C o m m u n i t y I n l c r f n i t h
Institute of Ohio.
Mingoo uses her agency, Northeast Professional
Family Services, located at 2217 Wisteria Way,
Avon (934-9113), as a conduit to place at-risk
children with foster families. She also operates a
group home for leonago hoys in hor home city of
Sheffield Lake.
•*&**
several years after her first husband passed away,
hut eventually returned and remarried. Her second
husband is former Sheffield Lake Mayor Gary
Mingee.
"I love this city," Mingee said. "It's a safe place.
And I love my work, especially working with the
kids. Last July I opened a group home here in
Sheffield Lake. It's for up to four boys, aged 15-21,
who need to learn independent living skills, It's
staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, though I
can only spend eight-nine hours per week there
myself.
"Teens find it hard to bond with anyone at t h a t
ago. Sonic neighbors were wary at first, but we're all
gelling along well now.
"These kids aren't hooligans," 'Mingeo said.
"Brookside High School has been very supportive.
The teachers, counselors and especially (vice principal) Bob Shaffer have been great. I'm amazed how
good our faculty is. I think they're now even'bettor
than they wore when my own kids went to school
there."
Other than time spent at the group home, Mingee
says slio spends most of her lime recruiting foster
families, a task made harder by state and county
budget shortfalls.
"It seems my life is mostly paperwork now,"
Mingeo said. "The current emphasis, because of
lack of funding, is to try to keep kids in their
natural families and closely monitor their safety.
Ohio's in had shape financially. I'm a really small
agency. There are some really big ones, but I feel we
can give more attention to individual kids because
we're small. I seem to have more success in a smaller setting: More kids being adopted, more staying in
foster families longer—eight-lp years—really
bonding.. Years ago, when I worked in Cuyahoga
County, it was overwhelming. I'm convinced that
smaller is better,"
Mingee received her Social Worker of the Year
Award for her dedication and expertise in family
social work.
"It's nice to be recognized," Mingee said. "But
I'm not in this for recognition."
r
-FREE
EVENT
Barbara J. Mingee was named Social Worker of the Year
2005 by First Community Interfaith Institute.
"I need Jos tor families," Mingcu .said. "I'm
always looking for new foster care homos.
"Over the past six years, 97 children have been
adopted through my agency," Mingeo said. "Adoption is a real milestone For the kids. Whon fostur
families decide to adopt a child they've been fostering, I recommend that they accept that adoption as
a milestone, too. I ask them to step away from foster care for a time, to develop themselves as adoptive families, and form stronger emotional, familial
bonds than can be developed with foster kids."
Mingee does not tell them not to foslor more
needy kids, hut to wait until they feel very secure as
new adoptive families before taking on any new foster children.
"I tell them to come back to fostering after a
while," Mingoo said. "It depends on how the adopted kids are doing emotionally. It's very hard for kids
to bo away from their n a t u r a l families, no matter
why they've been removed. They tend to blame
themselves for family break-ups, no matter whether
they've been physically or sexually abused, or
neglected. Kids almost always feel it's their own
fault that they've been rejected by their natural families. It takes significant time for them to bond with
their adoptive families. Some adoptive families
eventually do come back for another foster child.
Three families did that recently."
Mingee, a Cleveland native, came to Sheffield
Lake in 1972. A widow, Mingeo left the city for"

Plans unveiled to bring Burger King to French Creek District
AVON
^^s>
By Julie A. Short
Area residents could be having it their
way in Avon as the city may be home to a
Burger King franchise.
Michael Showalter, President and CEO
of Franchise Operations in Cleveland, will
be presenting informal plans during
tonight's (July 20) planning commission
mooting for consideration of locating a
freestanding restaurant on 1.4 acres at the
northeast corner of Healthway Drive and
Detroit Road (near the entrance to EMH
Center for Health and Fitness).
"We're, still working on the plans,"
Showaltcr said. "I've had some convcrsa-
lions with city officials on what
we need to do in terms of being
uniform with the French
Creek District, where wo will
be located. We will be presenting the designs for the
building."
According to Showalter,,
the restaurant will be unlike
any oilier Burger King stores in
the state of Ohio.
"The Avon location will be a new
prototype for the company," lie said. "It
will be n state-of-lhe-art Burger King offering customers a family-friendly atmosphere."
The approximately 3,000-sq.-ft. restaurant will feature a large playground area
and TV screens Uiroughout the
dining room, as well wireless
Internet capabilities.
" "We're excited about the
opportunity to bring this new
concept to Avon," Showalter
said. "Avon is a wonderful
city and we love the people
here. They are very down to
earth. I'm familiar with the area,
having grown up in Bay Village
and spending many years golfing at
Bob-O-Links. There is going to be a great
demand for something like this in Avon.
Most of the people in Avon havo been very
posilivo."
As for the outside of the slrnclure conforming lo the architecture of the French
mi.
Creek District, Showalter is confident his
plans will not pose a problem.
"This location is not going to look like
your typical Burger King restaurant," he
said. "It's going to look similar to Bob
Evans which will be right near us and
looks very nice. We're going to create an
attractive building to fit in with an attractive city."
• •
Avon Lake is homo to a Burger King
restaurant located on SR 83 near Walker
Road. Showalter does not view the close
proximity as an issue.
"We've been approved by Burger King
as a developing franchisee," he said.
The restaurant will create approximately 50 new jobs. No timeline for completion
has been set if approved.
Goal of Manufacturing Council is to help companies stay in Lorain County
By Carol Klear
I
Jolin Butkowski has no problem with
trying to draw new companies to Lorain
County, hut as president of the newly organized Lorain County Manufacturing Council, his goal is to help keep the firms
already established in the county.
"Most communities try lo attract new
companies and that's good, but it's too
tough," Butkowski said. "It's easier to keep
a customer than to move."
Since last September Butkowski and
his partner. Lance Healy of Banyon Technologies, have been trying to help manufacturing companies in Lorain County
realize their potential. The two men have
been meeting with company CEOs and
presidents to learn their needs and how lo
till them and came up with the idea of a
manufacturing council.
Butkowski discussed the idea with Roy
Church, president of Lorain County Community College (LCCC).
"He thought it was a great idea,"
Butkowski said.
Butkowski and Healy applied for non.profit status for their agency, and Church
, offered to supply office space at tho'college. LCCC also serves as Uio council's fis. cal agent.
:
Tiie two men then took on the daunting
task of determining the number of manufacturers in the county.
"There are 475 manufacturing companies in Lorain County ranging from small
to medium size," Butkowski "said. "In the
small to medium, there are 25-100 people
working, but tlioy don't have infrastructure." . .
.
;
They then put together a business
plan, which was something both
Butkowski and Healy were accustomed
to doing, and approached the Lorain
County Chamber of Commerce with
their 'proposal. The reaction was positive-all three commissioners voted for
it. Butkowski said he had hoped for
enough funds to get the proposal up and
running for three years, however in
November, the county gave them
$80,000 in seed money, which will last
until December. By then Butkowski
hopes the organization will have established a solid base.
The first official meeting of the Loraiu
County Manufacturing Council was held
March 1G, with new board members and
representatives from 40 manufacturers.
Following a light dinner, the meeting was
opened with instruction lo those attending
to "think out of (ho box." The plan is to
hold quarterly sessions, Bulkowski said.
To aitl in determining where the companies stand in their operations, Butkowski said a manufacturing assessment survey
was sent to each company in April, asking
18 questions, including'some about number of employees in the firm and the number at llie Lorain County facilities; the
company's top customers, along with top
suppliers; the percentage of business dono
in the United Stales, as well as the percentage in the international market; potential plans for expansion and their advertising markets and employee training available, hi brief, llie surveys returned provided snapshots of the companies contacted.
During a recent meeting, Butkowski
said, Congressman Sherrod Brown spoke
in support of what Uic Manufacturing
Council was attempting to do. Butkowski
said he was impressed with not only
Brown's enthusiasm, but Uio manner in
which he steered clear of political
favoritism, speaking fairly of both parties.
Presently the Lorain County Manufacturing Council is gearing up for a NanQtechnology Manufacturers Forum Oct. 10
at the Spitzer Conference Cenler at LCCC.
Nanotechnology is a branch of engineering that focuses on very small electronic circuits and mechanical devices.
Nanochip is one of the lalesl in cutting
edge technology and has a number of different uses, including in llie pharmaceutical, orthopedic and aerospace arenas.
"It's a harder byte, but more flexible,"
Butkowski said. "It can be used in golf
club shafts and make them half the
weight."
The one-day symposium will feature
the way nanotechnology is being used
today in real manufacturing settings.
A February business report from llie
Silicon Valley concerning emerging tech-
nologies discussed the ability of
nanochips to record up to a trillion bits of
data in a square inch and compared tho
idea to putting 25 DVDs on a chip no bigger than a postage stamp.
The hard work put into the Lorain
County Manufacturing Council is beginning to sow seeds throughout the county
with 20 members already signed up. In
addition, it Is attracting community attention, Butkowski said, noting that North
Ridgeville, Oberlin and Lorain have
joined. He has also had calls of interest
from Columbus.
The benefits of joining llie council are
many for local manufacturers, including
peer collaboration on common issues,
along • with networking evenls, sharing
manufacturing strengths in Lorain County,
complimentary advisory services, help in
identifying products to gain new revenue,
quarterly meetings, access to a web site
and others.
The membership is divided into two
categories-a core membership, which is
open lo any manufacturing company,
not-for-profit entity or government entity in Lorain County for S350 per year
and an affiliate membership which is
open to companies directly or indirectly
involved in the manufacturing process
for S450 per year.
One issue Bulkowski stressed is that
the Manufacturing Council is nol aimed
at economic development.
"We are doing economic growth—we
arc out there to grow," he said, with the
hope of helping manufacturing companies in Lorain Counly expand and stay
in Lorain County.

School board candidate says public wants accountability
AVON LAKE
By Lori E. Switaj
Avon Lake Board of Education candidate Jeff
Buchanan cited a litany of reasons for running for
school board, but focused on the need for financial
accountability within the district.
"I didn't like the way the (May 7.9-millJ levy
camo across," Buchanan said. "People want
answers as to where the district is making the cuts.
They need to clarify that."
Buchanan, raised in Sheffield Lake but a resident of Avon Lake since 2000 said he is concerned
not only with tho future of his own children, ages 7,
5 and 16 months, but is "looking out for everyone."
"They (the board of education) approved a
Bucky Kopf abatement but then asked for a levy
with the largest millage ever," Buchanan said.
"Accountability is important. This isn't about Kopf
or Camellia or any other developer. This is about
playing fair. I always play fair. This levy just didn't
come straight up and fair."
Buchanan, an electrician and member of tho
local I DEW electricians union, said teachers need to
pay more for healthcare than the 3 percent they currently pay, adding he pays o sizeable amount more
for his insurance.
"They need to pitch in more," he said.
Buchanan, 41, said many residents who moved
to tho city are considering leaving because taxes
have escalated and school costs must be justified.
"I see spending by the school board that's not
warranted," ho said. "I see one principal and three
assistants at the high school. Is that warranted?
Maybe, but I'd like to see."
Citing his background in the construction industry, he feels he can be a valuable addition. He questioned why the high school cafeteria wasn't built
larger when the addition was added.
"What person in their right mind wouldn't build
a cafeteria big enough to feed all the students in a
two-hour period," he said, noting that seniors will
have to eat on campus next year.
The candidate said if elected he would work
well with Superintendent Bob Scott.
"He's a good guy, very receptive and has good
ideas," Buchanan said. "I'd like to work with him, I
think I'd work well with him."
HG would like feedback from the public to determino if school uniforms are a good idea for students, noting it would support the economic diversity in the community. Future growth is also a concern as is energy management. Buchanan pointed to
schools being air conditioned all year and noted,
that there are student complaints in warmer weath-T
er that the school is kept too cool.
Buchanan is also a supporter of Brian Flannery's
proposal to amend the Ohio Constitution that
would curtail tax levies.

Council puts 2 Charter amendments on ballot, sets new zoning rules
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
The fee for filing an appeal with Sheffield Lake's
Board of Zoning Appeals has been doubled, and the
rules for notifying surrounding properly owners of
the appeal have been clarified.
On July 12, Sheffield Lake City Council
approved two ordinances amending the procedures
for filing with tho Zoning Board of Appeals. The old
S50 fee has been doubled to S100 to reimburse the
city for any costs involved in hearing the appeal
and notifying all neighbors of the appeal and zoning board hearing.
All record title holders "of property immediately adjacent to, adjoining and abutting properly for
which a variance or exception has been requested
from the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals,
shall be notified at least ten days prior to the hearing before the Board on such request."
At -the time of application, the individual
requesting the variance or exception must make
available to the Board a list of all adjacent, adjoining and abutting property owners. Falsification of
that statement shall he a minor misdemeanor subject to a fine of not more than Sloo. .
The Board must send notice to all property owners identified in that statement by ordinary mail.
The notice must include the address of tho property and ordinance for which an application for a
variance lias been requested; the substance of the
applicant's request for a variance; the date, time
and location of the hearing on the request for a variance; and notification that any interested property
owner may contact the Building Department for
additional information regarding the request for.
variance.
The new ordinance also requires the Building
Department to place a sign in the front yard of the
property for which a variance is requested. The sign
must give public notice of the variance request plus
all the same information contained in letters sent to
adjoining, abutting and adjacent property owners.
Tho Building Department is thon required to
remove the sign from the subject property after the
hearing on the variance has been held.'
Also on July 12, council approved two Charter
Amendments to be placed on the November 8 General Election ballot. One Charter Amendment
Cancer findings forum set for July 28
The Ohio Department of Health will present its
preliminary findings at a public forum and hearing July 28 at 7 p.m. at Avon Lake High School.
Mayor Rob Berner has stated that preliminary
results for the study, which was conducted to
determine if any environmental concerns are warranted, are "favorable."
Robert Indian. Chief-Chronic and Environmen-
tal Disease Surveillance, willlead'the forum and
public hearing.
A study was initiated in June 2004 ib determine
if there was reason for concern for childhood
leukemia and blood cancer cases after seven cases
since 1998 were noted.
The study was Inter broadened to include all
cancer cases.
requires anyone who wishes to be considered as a
'write-in candidate to file his or her declaration of
intent at least 50 days before the General Election.
The need for this charter change arose earlier this
year wlien Ward 3 Councilman Eric Elliott decided
not to run for election to the office to which he was
appointed last year after former Ward 3 Councilman
John Piskura was elected mayor. Elliott subsequently decided to run, but since he was not on tho May
Primary ballot, must run as a write-in candidate.
Ward 2 Councilman Alan Smith missed the filing
deadline for the Mayprimary and so must also run
as a write-in candidate Nov. Q.
.
Former Mayor Gary Mingee has also filed to
oppose Smith as a write-in candidate in Ward 2. It's
not yet known if any other write-in candidates have
filed with the Lorain County Board of Elections.
The other Charier Change amends the city's ordinance for the minimum amount (now S5,OOQ) of
purchases that must be publicly advertised for bids.
The Charter Change would state that "No not expenditure for a contract for purchase of services, supplies or material...that exceeds the financial limitations imposed by the statutes of tho State of Ohio..."
shall be made by council without public bids.
If passed, the change will eliminate the need to
amend the bid ordinance every time the state
changes its minimum bid law. The new Charter language would automatically make whatever minimum bid amount the state sets the city's minimum
bid amount as well.

.gie scout project benefits residents, guests of Good Samaritan
N/AVON LAKE
By Julie A. Short
, The courtyard area at the Good
Samaritan Nursing Home in Avon is a
quiet, tranquil place for residents and
fl guests to enjoy a beautiful summer
x day. Thanks to one Avon Lake Boy
Scout, visitors to the courtyard have
,-an even better tranquil place that is
just as beautiful as the weather.
^ Rob Pale, 16, took on the project
(along with fellow members of Boy
If
Scout Troup 41 of Bay Village) of
sprucing up the courtyard to earn his
Eagle Scout
rank, the highest
advancement rank in Scouting, A Boy
Scout must fulfill requirements in the
areas of leadership, service and out-door.skills in order to be eligible for
the honor.
'I've made a lot of friends with the
residents and I wanted to do something nice for them," Pate said. "We
came here to earn another badge at
Christmas time and took the residents
shopping at the mall. They are all
great people."
The project, totaling 234 hours to
complete, included building a bench
and .trellis area, creating a Chinese

rock garden,
planting (lowers,
-painting the patio rooftop and deck, planting trees, power washing the courtyard pavers and rearranging the existing furniture to create a more inviting
setting in the 75x100 courtyard. "The courtyard really needed the
work," Good Samaritan Activities
Director Darla Crabtree said. "It was
funny to watch the residents tell the
boys what to do. They really enjoyed
watching the boys work on the project. We supplied all the materials
and they all went to work."
According to Crabtreo, Pate began
the project in June and worke'd
through Ihe long hot days of summer.
"A lot of families have commented
on how nice it looks," she said.
"Rob's family also worked on the project and wo are very thankful,"
Pate's mother, Loretta, assists a resident at the nursing home.
"My mother has been working here
for a while," Pate said. "'I foil it was
important to give back to the residents. Some of them have done so
much for us."
In addition to being a member of
the Boy Scouts, Pate, a junior at Avon
Lake High School, is also on the
school's baseball team and enjoys

camping, fishing and canoeing. He is
also taking college level courses at
Lorain County Community College.
"Our Scout Master was also an
Eagle Scout," lie said. "I always knew
t h i s was something I wanted to
achieve."
_
Pate's father, Bob, who helped
work on the project, is proud of his
son and all that ho has accomplished.
"He's done a great job," Bob said.
"They've done a lot of good work
here. We're proud of all the boys.
Hard work really does pay off."

Rental unit inspections must now be done annually,.
along with new fee structure and permits
SHEFFIELD LAKE
By John Edwards
One of the most frequently ignored ordinances
on Sheffield Lake's books is the change of occupancy inspection requirement for-residential rental
properties. •
The ordinance required the owners of single
family or multi-family rental properties lo have
'their rental units'inspected whenever there was a
change in occupancy. The flaw in the ordinance
was in making the responsibility of reporting
changes of occupancy that of the property owner.
"Renters came and went, and most landlords never
reported the changes in occupancy, thus avoiding
'payment of inspection fees.
Two new ordinances passed by city council on
!july 12, will amend the city code in an attempt to
make the occupancy inspections—and inspection
f ees —enforceable. Single rental unit inspections are
still required whenever there is a change in occupancy, at a fee of $50 per unit per inspection. In
addition, "all residential property owned for rental
purposes or occupied by a party other than the
owner for a period of more than six months during
any single calendar year, shall require an Annual
Rental Permit from the Sheffield Lake Building
Department." Annual permits for rental properties
must be renewed each year on Jan. 2.
The owner of a single family or mulli-family
rental dwelling or rooming unit is now required to
apply to the building department for annual inspection and renewal of ihe occupancy permit. A rental
permit will be issued by Ihe building inspector after
inspection if the rental u n i t mcels code requirements. Inspection must be done w i l h i n 30 days
after the application is made.
Applicants for rental permits must include zoning compliance verification. The rental pormil w i l l
state the maximum number oi persons who may
occupy the rental d w e l l i n g or rooming u n i t . No permit will be issued unless the a p p l i c a n t designates.

revoked, the owner must surrender the permit to
the building department within five days of notification of the violation. The building inspector must
then reinspect to verify compliance and, if the violations have been corrected, the rental permit will
be reinstated upon the owner or agent paying a reinstatement fee of $50.
Any landlord selling or otherwise signing over
control of a rental property for which a permit has
been issued must notify the building department of
the change of ownership within five days of the
effective date of transfer.
The
notification
must be in writing and
must include the name
and address of the new
owner (and the previous owner) and of Ihe

Tight knit group celebrates newfound tradition, hobby
AVON
By Julie A. Short
What do Russell Crowe and Julia
Roberts hav0 in common? Besides being
Academy Award winning actors, they both
enjoy knitting, along with a host of other
celebrities. Knitting, one of the longest
standing traditional hobbies, is back in
style.'And it's not just for grandmothers
anymore,
"I started knitting two years ago,"
Hanna Hujo, 11, said. "One of our teachers
at school asked if anyone was interested in
knitting and a bunch of us raised our
hands. It sounded like fun. Wo started
meeting once a month."
-.- The club, created by Heritage North
Elementary School
teacher April
- Schlegelmilch, has grown to over 30 members.
"The first time we met, there was about
15 knitters including one boy," Hujo said.
"He left, but girls continue to come."
French Creek Fiber Arts owner and
Avon resident, Peggy Strang was a guest at
Heritage's Sit & Knit Club and wanted to
provide the girls with a venue to keep knitting through the summer months.
"I sent a flyer to the school asking if any
students would bo interested in gathering
during the summer months to knit,"
Strang said. "For a nominal fee, Uie girls
gather every Friday for an hour and half
and enjoy some refreshments and knitting
together. I enjoy listening to the girls and
teaching them new stitches."
During a recent visit to the shop, eight
girls were gathered around a large table in
the shop creating a variety of items including scarves, purses and headbands.
"I'm making a headband for my aunt
who has cancer," Rachel Dertrand, 12,
said. "I really like knitting. Once you do it
for the first time, you can't stop."
Kati Courbitt, 13, echoed the sentiments.
"Once you get started, you catch on
quick and it's easy," she said. "What's great
about knitting is you can take it anywhere.
The club is also great because you are with.
people that share the same interests and
experiences as you."
Barbara Bobal, 9, learned to knit from
her grandmother. Her mother and aunt
also take part in the pastime.
"I like to knit when I'm outside on a hot
day, or when I'm inside," she said. "That's
what's so great about it. If you are bored,
you can sit and knit. I hope to continue
knitting and want to teach my kids in the
future."
Maddi Courbitt, 9, takes her knitting on
trips with her family.
"Right before wo went to Florida this
past year, I learned to knit and it really
passed the time away in the car," she said.
"My mom, grandmother and great-mother
also knit. It's fun to do as a family."
The girls are thankful Strang has
opened her doors to the group.
74!
Young girls gather during the summer to knit.
"She's been great," Kati said. "Wo come
up with most of the ideas for what we
want to make and she teaches us some of
the stitches we may not know.
Nicole Kules, 11, enjoys working with
the many new yarns available to knitters.
"I'm making a really cool bag that she;
(Strang) taught me," Kulos said.
Strang attributes the resurgence in knitting popularity to several factors. She has
owned the shop in Avon for six years and
has watched the hobby grow firsthand.
"After Sept. 11. many people were
looking to take the time to do the tilings
they've always wanted to do-but never
thought they had the time for," Strang said.
"Plus, there are so many wonderful yarns
coming from places such as Belgium, Italy
and New Zealand. Knitting is something
anyone can do. It's a great time and a great
way to pass on family traditions."
Strang hopes to offer a numbers of knitting sessions throughout Christmas and
spring breaks so the girls can continue
working. All girls between the ages of 9-13
are welcome.
For more .information on the knitting
sessions, call 934-1236.
City to 'lien' on property owners who fail to maintain trees, lawns
AVON LAKE
By Beth Mlady
City council took the initial step
toward enacting an ordinance amending the community's property code at
its June 27 meeting, finalizing the
decision July 11.
The change was necessitated by
various complaints throughout tho
city of overgrown grass and grossly
neglected properties due to vacant
houses, foreclosures and lax properly
owners. Other local c o m m u n i t i e s
already assess title holders for tlio
costs of clean-up on unsightly properties.
Once the amended ordinance is,
according to Mayor Rob Benicr, "likely approved on [its] second reading
on July 11," the city's zoning administrator will be able to assess fines to
those property owners who fail to
comply. The section of the code,
GG8.07 Assessment of Costs by Municipality, indicates "these amounts,
when allowed [by the County Auditor] shall be entered upon tho tax
duplicate and become a lien upon
such lands."
Owners of property in Avon Lako
are expected to keep trees, plants and
shrubberies "so that a clear height of
eight Feet between the lowest branches and the sidewalk is maintained"
according to the code.
Branches that overhang the sidewalk or street from trees on the
owner's property are to bo cleared
away by the owner. They are also
required to "provide a clear and
unobstructed view of traffic from all
directions at any street, private driveway or other intersection." Violators
of those requirements are "guilty of a
minor misdemeanor'.* and subject to a
penEilty.
*
nanco code will be given written
notice and, according to the code, be
instructed that obstructions, like trees
or bushes, "must be cut and destroyed
within five days after service of such
notice."

Berner indicated in an e-mail to
The PRESS that the amended ordinance is simply to guarantee t h a t "property owners are responsible for
their property." When trees extend
over the public right-of-way (like
sidewalks or streets) from their properties and obstruct the view, he noted,
"this is the property owner's responsibility because the trees are on their
properly."
He added that the city "will continue to be responsible for trees that
are in the city right-of-way with
respect to trimming and/or removal."
Several residents had questioned
when it was the city's responsibility
to tree trims and when thai responsibility belonged to the homeowner.

When Avon resident and North
Ridgeville teacher Jean Maxwell Vaughn
was growing up, she spent her summers
th'o way many vacationers seeking Lake
Erie fun do: Out at Lakeside in the
Maxwell family home. The huge Victorian
house provided then, as it does today, the
perfect location for hot summers.
The 10-bedroom house serves as a bed
and breakfast in the quaint Lakeside resort
near Sandusky, playing host to summer
and winter revelers alike, including
William Laufer, Laufer however, is a movie
director and after visiting the residence,
felt it would be a perfect location for a
movie backdrop.

"I went back a couple of Christmases
ago to check on the house and Ihought il
would be a great spot for a movie set,"
Laufer, who co-produced the film with his
daughter Tiffany last winter, said. ,
. And so, the house became the backdrop
for the independent film "Christmas at
Maxwell's."
"It's about a fellow dealing with his
wife's terminal illness," Laufer said. "They

The movie stars Cleveland actor
Andrew May and actress Jack Hourigan.
May is involved with the Great Lakes Theater Festival. Hourigan is well-known as
the host of "How to Boil Water" on Uie

Cities test positive for West Nile infected mosquitoes
By Julie A. Short
Three locations in Avon and two
locations in Sheffield Lake have tested positive for mosquitoes infected
with the West Nile virus. Avon Lake
has not reported any West Nile carrying mosquitoes to date.
"We recently set traps in Sheffield
Village, but do not have any dala
available at this time," Scott Pozna,
program coordinator for the Lorain
County Health Department said.
"There have been no cases reported of
any humans contracting the West Nile
virus. Right now, all we have found is
traces in the mosquito population.
Because of this, it is important, as we
do every year, to educate the public."
The county has had a dedicated
mosquito control program in place
since 1976. One part of the program is
to control and kill mosquito larva
throughout the county,
"A portion of that includes educating the homeowner," Pozna said.
"People often think that it's the big
bodies of water in the area that are a
problem and a breeding ground for
mosquitoes. It's really more the buckets of-water or standing water residents may have in their yards that
attribute to the mosquito population.
Water that has been left standing for
approximately seven days at time can
be a potential problem."
The Health Department has also
identified a number of roadside ditches and empty lots that have tires or
abandoned pools on them as breeding
grounds for mosquitoes.
"We have two ways to control
them," Pozna said. "One is Larvaciding (controlling the larva) and the
other is Adulticiding (controlling the
adult mosquitoes). That's what we do
when you see us coming out with the
spray trucks. The area municipalities
under our jurisdiction have agreed to
our policies. Once we have positive
results for West Nile, we begin the
spray program."
Evening spraying was conducted
last week in Avon.
"We make the cities aware that
they have positive (Wei>l Nile) mosquitoes," ho said. "It's up to the cities
to notify their residents we will be
spraying."
According to Pozna, residents
should not be worried about the
effects of the spray into the environment or being outside when the truck
comes through a development.
"We use a product with the ingredient Pyreihroid in it, which is the
most environmental-friendly product
out there. The spray only emits about
seven ounces of product per minute.
It's a 300-ft. wide plume (150-ft. on
each side) and is designed for use in
the short-term.
"It will only kill the mosquitoes in
the area at that time," Pozna said.
"The goal is that if you wipe out even
one mosquito, you might wipe out
thousands because that one cannot
multiply."
The county continually sets traps
for mosquitoes to check for West Nile
and recently sent 12 dead birds in to
the State Health Department for possible traces of West Nile.
«
Pozna wants the public to be aware
of the optimal times for mosquitoes to
be out. .
"It's usually around dusk that
you'll find the most mosquitoes," he
said. "From around 8 p.m. to midnight. Then it peaks and mosquitoes
return about dawn or 4 a.m. It's the
female mosquitoes that bite you and
they are attracted to humans because
of the carbon dioxide mammals give
off when they speak. The more people
you have outside, the more mosquitoes you are going to attract."
Pozna encourages residents to
always use a mosquito repellant containing DEET when they are outside.
"We want to caution folks without
alarming them" Pozna said. "We areconstantly surveying the areas and'
we've treated any identifiable bodies
of standing water such as storm water
catch basins, roadside ditches and
low lying areas. We're focused on prevention and treating areas of water.

AVOID MOSQUITO BITES:
* Cover Up! Wearing long sleeved
shirts, long pants and socks sprayed
with repellent while outdoors can
further help prevent mosquito bites.
Avoid mosquitoes! Many mosquitoes
bite between dusk and dawn. Limit
time outdoors during those hours, or
be especially sure to use repellents
and protective clothing.
,* Spray! Spray insect;repellent:containing DEET (Look for N, N-diethylm-toluamido) on exposed skin when
you go outdoors. Spray clothing with
repellents containing DEET or permetlirin. Products with a higher percentage of DEET (up to 50 percent)
give longer protection. Don't spray
repellent on skin under clothing.
Don't use permothrin on skin.
* Use Repellent Carefully! Repellents
containing DEET are veiy safe for
adults and*children when used
according to directions. Don't put
repellent on kid's hands because it
may gel in their mouth or eyes.
MOSQUITO-PROOF YOUR HOME
Screens: Keep mosquitoes outside
by fixing or installing window and door
screens.
, Drain'Standing Water: Don't give
mosquitoes a place to breeoV'A'small
amount ; of standing water can ;.be.
enough for a mosquito to,lay her eggs.'.
Look around every week for possible
mosquito breeding places.
,
Empty water from "buckets, cans,
pool covers, flower pots and other
items. Throw away or cover up stored
tires and other items that aren't being
used. Clean pet water bowls weekly/
deck if ram gutters are clogged. If you
store water outside or have a well.'make
sure it's covered up. Encourage your
neighbors to do the same.

Completion of Beck Road sewer improvements on hold until 2006
AVON LAKE
By Lori E. Switaj
" Residents of Beck Road received
letters recently that new sanitary
sewers scheduled to be put in this
year have been put on hold.
'According to Chief Utilities Exec-
utive John Kniepper, only one bid for
the sewer separation project; the second half of street improvements for
the street, came in $250,000 over the
estimate. Approving the project
would.have been illegal.
The road is currently in the midst
of a sewer separation project.; A temporary waterline running Ihe eastern
side of the street will be removed
when the main waterline is completed this summer.
Kniepper said the project placed
on hold does not affect the current
situation. Several residents were'
concerned the temporary line, currently lying on top of the sidewalks,
could freeze during winter months.
He said aprons that have been dug
up will be fixed and the street
should devoid of construction items
by fall.

Kniepper expected the ^sanitary'1
sower line, which runs down then
center of the street and is "a much
messier project" will be rebid in the _

Hot days mean added risk for health
problems, including heat stroke
By Melissa Linebrink
The hot summer months mean
concern for heat-related illnesses.
To date, Northeast Ohio has had
'more than 17 . days with degrees
reaching above 90, Cooperative
Weather Observer for the National
Weather Service Ray Diodorich said.
"The last time we had weather like
this was during the drought of 1980
when there were 13 days (thus far}
with above 90 degree temperatures,"
'he said.
And there seems to bo no end in
sight. Diederich said temperatures are
expected to continue to be above normal for July as well.
According to Dicdorich, the hoi
weather is due' to stalled fronts that
are not moving as normal. Aside from
just the heat, Northeast Ohio only had
eight-tenths of an inch of rain in June.
The recent rainfall last week and this
week helped, but provided little relief
to area farmers.
"The storms have gone to the south
of us and we have had very little
rain," he said.
With the hot weather holding out,
it is recommended people take precautions when outside.
According to information from the
National Institutes of Health, basot! in
Bethesda, Md., the elderly, the very
young and people who arc obese nrc
at highest risk for heat-related illnusses. However, those individuals who
are young and healthy can find themselves in danger if they participate in
strenuous physical activities during
hot weather.
If tho condition is not addressed
immediately, heat cramps (caused by
loss of salt from hunvy sweating! can
lead to hoal exhaustion (caused by
dehydration), which can progress to
heatstroke. Heatstroke is the most
dangerous and serious ot nil Uirco
because it can cause shock, Drain
damage, organ failure and oven death
in some instances.
The following are common
causes of heat-related
illnesses:
• High temperatures or humidity
• Dehydration
« Prolonged or excessive exercise
• Excess clothing
• Alcohol use
• Medications, such as diuretics,
neuroleptics, phenolhiazines and
anticholin'ergics
• Cardiovascular disease
• Sweat gland dysfunction
The PRESS
Summer is all about
being free.
Symptoms of a heat-related illness
include profuse sweating, fatigue,
thirst and muscle cramps.
If you or someone you know begins
to
experience
headache,
diazmess/li&ht-headedness, weakness, nausea/vomiting, cool/moist
skin or dark urine, he/she is experiencing heat exhaustion.
The symptoms of heatstroke
include fever w i t h a temperature
above 104 degrees, irrational behavior, extreme confusion, dry/hot/red
skin.
rapid/shallow breathing,
rapid/weak pulse, seizures and
unconsciousness. If the latter symptoms begin to appear, it is advised by
the National Institutes of Health lo
call 9-1-1 or seek medical treatment.
To prevent a heat-related illness,
the following steps should be taken
into consideration:
1. Frequently drink water or nonalcoholic fluids.
2. \Vear lightweight, light-colored
and loose-fitted clothing.
;). Reduce or e l i m i n a t e strenuous
activities or do thorn during the

prevented.

WATERLINE
AVON LAKE
By Mark Christ
Beck Road project gets underway. The waler
line replacement phase of project began in earnest
last Thursday when Buckeye Excavation began
installing a temporary surface line and service connections far Beck Road residents. It will take about
two weeks to complete the temporary line and the
contractor started installing the new 8-inch line
right after the July holiday. The contractor has until
about Aug. 1 to complete the water line.
Bidding for the sewer replacement phase of the
project will begin the end of this month, as bids
were awarded July 5. At the request of the city, the
sewer phase of the project has been expanded to
include the installation of 18 storm water catch
basins on the west side of Beck Road, south of Electric Blvd. This will require modifying the new
• water line to allow storm water crossovers in the
area of the line installation.
Replacing the old sewer, with now leak resistant
polyethylene pipe, will begin immediately after the
water line is completed. The time line for completing the sewer is Aug. 5 to Oct. 5, and for repaving
the street, from mid-October to mid-November,
' before winter weather sets in.
CIS work on ETL1 and ETL2 completed, GRW
Engineers completed Geographical Information Service [GIS) work on the 41 miles of Eastern Transmission Lines 1&2. GIS is a computerized model of
the transmission lines'that will accurately locate
sections,of pipe and the adjacent shut- off valves in
the lines when a location is requested. This saves
time and avoids costly errors when line maintenance personnel are trying to locate the shut-off
valve to a leaky section of water pipe or a construction contractor needs to excavate in the vicinity of
a water main or line.
The utility had been receiving up to 40 location
requests a week from the Ohio Utility Protection
Service (OUPS), "We're in the process of updating
the old OUPS grid with the new GIS polygon system and will continue to use both systems for a few
months to verify the GIS Polygon,"-said Chief of
Utility.Operations Rick Eberle. "But we will ultimately rely on GIS for tighter ranges that can find a
shut-off valve within a foot of its location."
A recommendation for integrating city of Avon
Lake infrastructure into the GIS system is also
before the board of Municipal Utilities. The initial

Trans-mission Line 2 Consortium at a cost of,
312,000. ETL2 supplies water to the Con-sortium
members, the Rural Lorain County Water Authority,
Medina County and the City of Medina. The generator will provide backup at the Island Road pump
station and allow us to continue pumping and selling water to the Consortium when power fails. In

Approves bid for sanitary sewer television system. The board awarded the purchase of an Envirosight System to A&H Equipment in the amount of
$101,787. The trailer mounted remote sewer television system will be used for testing new sewer lines

in existing lines when sewer backups are reported.
The board noted that the mobile equipment is a
capital asset and can be made available to other
communities and the Utilities bulk water customers

Prelim budget approved. The board approved a
preliminary Utilities budget of 311,346,577 for
2006 and sent it to be included with the city council's proposed cily budget as required by law. Utilities receipts and revenues for next year arc projected at $15,783,250. The law requires a City budget
passed by July 1. The aclual budgets will be formulated by year's end or March 1, 2006. The real value
of the exercise is the ability to note any variations

Part II: local ice cream stands still best place to go Sor soft-serve desserts
By Melissa Linebrink
Editor's note: This is tlm second of n two-part
series highlighting ten cream stands in our readnrship area. Headers of The PRESS will bt: able to
reminisce about tha days when a gallon oficn cream
cost less than an icti cream conn costs today. So. sit
back, relax and who knows, maybe after reading this
story you will find yourself at one of tlm ici; cream
stands in your city.
"I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM
FOR ICE CREAM"
The yoar was 190-1 and President Ronald Reagan
decided il was time to designate one inontii out of
the year as "National Ico Cream Month." Rengan is
said to have recognized ice cream as a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by 00 percent of the
nation's population, stated in a press release issued
by the International Dairy Foods Association
(IDFA).
After consideration, Ruagan announced July as
"National Ice Cream Month" and the third Sunday
of July as "National Ice Cream Day."
According to IDFA, the ice cream industry in tlm
United States generates an estimated S2 billion in
annual sales and roughly 9 percent of all m i l k pro• dncod by U.S. dairy fanners is used to produce ice
cream. And as the hot and humid temperatures continue to smother much of Ohio, the lines at local ice
cream stands continue to grow.
At the All-Star Family Cafe, which is part of All
American Sports Center complex at 37500 Center
Ridge Road in North Ridgevillo, a new typo of softserve ice cream was offered to customers for the first
time this past spring.
Pat Weaver, marketing director for All American
Sports Center, said Flavor Burst was brought in and
has been a nice feature to the cafd.
Flavor Burst uses a patented technology to
"slripo" premium flavoring on the outside, as well
as the inside, of soft-serve ice cream. The result is a
bright, colorful ice cream treat sure to please many.
"Wo have sold more than double of what regular
ice cream is going for," All-Star Family Caffi manager Sue Norris said.
There are a total of 42 Flavor Burst flavors, but
only eight can be available at one time; however,
customers can mix up to two flavors in one cone,
Norris added. The eight 1 flavors currently offered at
the All-Star Family Cafe are raspberry, peanut butter, chocolate swirl, butter pecan, tropical orange,
cotton candy, banana ripple and strawberry. .
Weaver added there are only two locations in
Lorain County that offer Flavor Burst soft-serve ico
cream-All American Sports Center and an ice cream
vendor in Amherst.
Weaver said the owner of All American Sports
Center, Gina Oradini, attended a food conference at
the I-X Center sponsored by Sysco and that was the
first time she was introduced to Flavor Burst, Once
the company informed Oradini where in Lorain
County Flavor Burst could be purchased, several
employees from the caffi went to try it and found it
to be delicious.
According to VVeaver, Flavor Burst limits the
number of locations that are permitted to sell the
special treat, but lucky for North Ridgcville, All
American Sports CaftS was granted permission.
Flavor Burst creations are sold in cones, shakes
and sundaes, Weaver noted.
Another ice cream stand in North Ridgeville that
prides itself on special treats is Dairy Grove, located
at 35455 Center Ridge Road.
Dairy Grove, which has been in business for nearly 50 years, is currently managed by Dora Papagianis and owned by her husband Nick and his brother.

The mother of the second boy,
who also spoke anonymously, said
paramedics told her it was most
likely a needle used for insulin.
"We drove them to St. John West
Shore and they followed the protocol for a needle-stick injury," the
second mother said.
Hospital personnel drew blood
from both boys for further testing
and the boys' pediatricians issued
hepatitis B shots.
Tho mother of the second boy
said the needle found by the boys
appeared to be purposefully
hidden.
"It was in a crack in a crevice,"

she said. "The second needle was
on a shale shelf behind another pile
of shale."
She didn't lay blame on anyone
for the needles.
"There was nothing anyone
could have done," she said. "You
can't chock for every single thing."
The second mother said she was
advised by other adults that after
the incident, city workers showed
up en masse with rakes and shovels
scouring the beach and brush area.
"They made an effort to find if
there were any more," she said.
"I'm sure they'll be vigilant in looking in the future."
Streator said they could not
determine how long the needles
had been in the area, but ruled out
the probability they had been
washed ashore, based on the location they were found.
GARAGE, from page 1
Planning commission approved of plans
for the garage-and council denied them.
Marsiglia said she would be open to
suggestions about other locations.
"If the city has a couple of other
places they want to look at, that's fine."
The point may now bo moot.
"This would have been good," Marsiglia said after council's snub. "I had,
great hopes we could work this out. It
looks like we go to court."
MarsigHa's first choice for a bus
garage remains at Heritage. City council
preferred the Schneider Court location
offSR83.
.
"I'told Larry Schneider Court is a
dead issue and I think he agreed with
that," she said. 'They think if we put a
transportation facility in (council) will
be forced to rezone," she said. "If people
got that through their heads that wasn't
true, maybe they'd understand.".
She also said choosing a location is
not the city's job, but the schools.
Dan Stringer, hired to represent the city,
said a hearing is scheduled for Aug. 23 to
seek'a permanent injunction against the
school board. Stringer said the Heritage
plans should not go forward since council
has. taken an action to deny me plan
approved by the planning commission.
"They're breaking the law," Stringer
said before the executive session. "Council is the final authority. Once it's denied,
it's denied. They're acting like it was not
' denied and they're breaking the law."
Following council's most recent decision, Hoeskstra said the decision was
disappointing, saying residents elected
city council and the school board to discuss amongst each other and not hire
lawyers to argue in court.
"I promise I will do all I can to further
discussions and to facilitate a solution or
a compromise," he said.

FRAUD, from page 1
ments (ALFDJ, who provided assistance to the Sheffield Lake Fire
Department (SLFD) in putting out
the fires, to the bills.
After accusing "this community" of
adding the time of firefighters and the
cost of equipment provided by ALFD
and SVFD to tlio bill, Ondercin specified that both house fires were found
lo have been caused by arson. She said
that the SVFD had assisted in the
arson investigations, and that "this
community" had included the cost of
that arson investigation in its costrecovery bills.
"This is bordering on fraud,"
Ondorcin said several times. "I think
this affects mutual aid." She ordered
Young to take up the matter with the
Loraln County Fire Chiefs Association. She said she considered billing
residents for cost-recovery of structure
fires "a slap in the face" to people
who've just lost their homes and then
are being presented with bills when
they can least afford to pay ono.
"Sheffield Village would never bill for
structure fires," the mayor proclaimed.
For the record, Sheffield Village
does not have a "soft billing" contract
with CRC, a Dayton firm that does soft
billing for cost recovery of structure
fires: Sheffield Lake does. Both
Sheffield Lake and Sheffield Village
have contracts with CRC for soft
billing of police investigations of
motor vehicle accidents. Both the city
and Village have soft billing contracts
with another Dayton Firm, Modicount,
for soft billing for cost recovery of rescue squad runs.
Young explained at the July 11
meeting that "soft billing," allowed by
slate law, means that bills are sent only
to insurance companies, and that
Not ringing?
Medicount and CRC are allowed to
accept what the insurance companies
will pay for cost recovery. Insurance
companies build the cost recovery into
the premiums paid by drivers and
homeowners. Residents are never
billed. Non-residents .are billed only
once, and only if their insurers refuse
to pay anything toward cost recovery!
On July 12, Acting SLFD Chief
Mike Conrad confirmed that the SVFD
had assisted in both arson investigations, saying: "We have a very good
working relationship with the SVFD.
We share equipment and help each
other with investigations. That relationship is a benefit to both."
Also on July 12, Conrad and
Sheffield Lake Finance Director
Tammy Smith staled that CRC had not
been asked to bill for the SLFD's costs
in either of the arson Fires. Conrad
pointed out that the first had occurred
before the city's contract with CRC was
approved, and that after discussing the
second with Safety Director Carmella
Fragassi, a decision was made not to
inform CRC of the second arson fire,
because the homeowner's insurance
was for less than replacement value
and they thought adding any amount
to the insurance company's payoff
would be wrong.
"To date,,we have billed one resident for one fire," Conrad said. "That
was in February. It was a small Fire, in
an out building, in our town, using only
our men and equipment. No mutual aid
companies \vere requested.
If
(Ondercin) has any evidence, if there's
any credibility to her claims, it needs to
bo investigated. We have never billed
our residents for any mutual aid assistance and never billed any other community's residents for our mutual aid
assistance in their towns."
On July 13, Ondercin admitted that
she had not seen any such bills, but
had "heard about.them" from a third
parly, "friends or friends of friends"
who said they had received the bills or
had been told by "someone in the
SLFD" that such bills would be sent to
them. She would not name the
"friends" who informed her about
those bills, but said she would ask
them to call The PRESS to talk about
them. The PRESS has not received any
calls to date.
"When 1 heard that, I had to go on
record," Ondercin said July 13. "If
your city bills for structure fires, I
want it known. Sheffield Village is
not involved with that. I'm tired of
being accused of things wo had
nothing to do with. I do believe this
affects mutual aid."
Young stated on July 13 that he
had already taken up the matter
with- the Chiefs Association and
held several conversations with
Conrad. He told Ondercin that no
bills had'been sent and assured her
that Conrad told him tho cost recovery arrangement with CRC "hasn't
got off the ground yet," and that tho'
SLFD would never bill for mutual
aid. Young was still SLFD Chief
whim Iho CRC cosl-rocovory program for MVA and structure fires
was approved by council,
. On July 12, Conrad, angered by
the accusations, asked: "If this is
'bordering on fraud,' what is it when
someone makes public statements
like this that are not true? If there's
any validity to those statements we
need to investigate whore they came
from.".
'
.Also at the meeting, . council
approved the Sheffield Village Fire
Department's last three full-time firefighters, bringing the number of fulltimers to 12. Chief Jeff Young commended Chris Davis, Chad Bowman
and Bryan Huge for having put themselves through fire and paramedic
schools and praised their work.

In double-elimination tournaments,

Last week, Avon's 12-year-old Little
League \Vurlcl Scries tournament team
made the most of its second chance.
Stymied in a 13-!) loss lo Elyri;i East on

straight. Two of those wins came in
back-to-back games against Elyria Easl,
8-3 on Friday anil 11-0 nn Saturday to
win the North Division tournament
championship.
"Thai game on Monday was really riot
typical of what we play," Avon manager
Pal Collins said. "I think the kids may
have been a little overconfident going in
that game. Then, after thai loss they really gol focused iincl determined. Thoy
were not overconfident, but determined
lo play winning baseball. They're a
strong team. These kids are used to winning throughout the year."
Mitch Romeo's two-run single in the
lop of Ihe Ihird inning with Avon already
ahead 2-u gave the 12s some breathing
room. Jerry Conaway's bases-clearing
double in the lop of Ihe fifth with Avon
up 5-0 broke the game wide open. Cody

NEW VOICES
Fond memories of a Warped day, looking for another
• By the time this is published, I will bo
one day away from the most important day
of the summer. What is it? It is the day that
the Vans Warped Tour arrives in
Cleveland. With it, the Warped Tour brings
a chaotic carnival of over 70 rock, punk,
emo and alternative bands on about nine
different stages. Last year was my first year
attending the event. The sights and sounds
stay clear in my mind.
The festival takes over the Tower Crty
Amphitheater and its surrounding parking
lot. Underneath a largo shell, the
amphitheater's main stage is divided into
two stages. The most popular bands play
there. Each group gels 30 minutes. One
band sets up on one side while another
one plays. It is a "rapid-fire" set up. In
front of the stage coagulates a massive sea
'. of people pressed against each other, with
•each person trying desperately to get just a
; little, closer to the stage. Objects such as
RANDOM
THOUGHTS
By Dan Miraldi
flip-flops, CDs and bottles (plastic thank
goodness) go soaring through the air. Every
so many seconds, somo bold fool flies up
and down as lie or she crowd-surfs toward
the front where a peeved security guard,
standing in a trench formed in front of the
barrier and the stage, grabs him and sends
him back to the audience via a blocked off
side path. However, it is only a few minulBS before that person is back In the air.
Tlio adjacent parking lot area lias
morphed into a street market-like
scene wliero each band has its own
merchandise booth. Walking between
I ho stands, one sees a wide range of
people, mostly between ages 13 and
22, dressed in their favorite Aborcrombie and Fitch garb or else decked
out in full punk fashion-skin tight
camouflage pants with a bright pink
mohawk. Some of the more famous
musicians will stand by their booths
nnd sign autographs. While kids wait
in line to get autographs of tbe famous
rock stars, the lesser known musicians may lake a break from selling
their own T-shirts and walk up and
down the line carrying a CD player
encouraging people to listen to their
newly recorded albums and perhaps
to even convince some kids to purchase them. Some of those performers
have jars on their merchandise table
labeled "gas money donations." In the
labyrinth of t-sliirt stands are the various D-stagos. The bigger the star, the
bigger the stage. . »
Of course it wouldn't be the Warped
Tour without the sounds. Most of the
time, the lioadliners nre usually very
energetic. Every now and then, fans can
be disappointed by a lack of energy or
"not sounding like the CD" or perhaps
the band is a little too "partied out."
Luckily, it is easy to bo pleasantly surprised when walking past a B-stago by
some new up-and-coming band. They
play with an intensity, something to
prove. They are hungry to win more
tans and to be upgraded to the main
stage . . . sometime.
In conclusion, the Vans Warped
Tour is a summer classic. It now bears
the slogan, "The tour that won't die!"
I find it a nice midpoint for my summer and I await'its return fondly.

Short, hair for girls was tres chic
among my peers • when 1 entered first
grade. I, of course, was not especially,
adept at keeping up with such trends; my
hair was long and perpetually pulled
back with frilly bows and barrettes. What

could I be so stupid to believe looking

grade hierarchy with pig tails and hair

whining, my mom begrudgingly took'

inches later, I felt that I had successfully adopted the fashionable "girly" bowl'cut that; my friends sported. I totally

gender misinterpretation.

fure. There is next to no maintenance; it's
wash and go. When you're 7 or 8-yearsold, regardless of gender, looks are about
as important as current events (read: not
important). My indifference to personal
vanity would have been perfectly excusable, but it seemed I had developed a
penchant for donning genderless attire.
All my other friends still appeared, well,
female. They wore earrings and pastel
colors. I wore baseball hats and grassstained "Soccer, is Life" T-shirts. I was
completely oblivious of my childhood
androgyny... for a while.
Fade in: I am 9-years-old. I have just
finished playing a soccer game, and my
family decides to go to Ponderosa to meet
my grandma for dinner. I am garbed in
uniform; even my cleats are still on. After
a hard fought game I am parched. An ice
cold Coke (or four] does well to satiate
me, but soon I have to take a trip to the
little girls' room. I scurry off, the tell-tale
signs of discomfort plaguing my step.
Finally, I reach the restroom ana push
the door open.
A rather large woman with a noticeably sweaty brow and poorly applied lipstick turns from the sink and stares at me.
The room is silent save her uneven
mouth-breathing, deviated septurri no
doubt. She scrunches her face and tilts
her head toward me, her drawn nn oyebrows still unwavering at their harsh
over*angled peaks. I am frozen in place
and considering screaming. I normally
don't draw stares from oversized women.
Finally she speaks with a rather bla-

I can feel my eyes watering and my

Customize your insurance plan with AHstate
Upon mooting Laura Buck, Allslato Insurance
agent, you can understand why the company's
slogan is the famed "You're in good hands,"
Buck's agency offers a complete line of insurance
products including car, home, life and commercial
(auto and general liability}. Many insurance
companies claim to offer the best deals in town but
they fail to deliver on the personal assistance.
"I'm proud of the fact that I can look someone in
the eye and guide them," Buck said. "If you
purchase insurance online or an 1-800 number, you
often do not receive that personal attention. Our
customers really appreciate what \vo can do for
them."
It's that personal service, along with customized
programs that keeps customers coming back. The
agency recently rolled out a new auto insurance
program catering to individual needs.
"It's ideal for families with young or new
drivers," Buck said. "It offers accident forgiveness
from day one. That means from the first day you
come to Allstate, you don't have to worry about
your premiums going up because your IG-year-old
driver was in an accident.
"Another nice incentive is that if you do remain
accident free, you are rewarded," she continued.
"The policy gives the customer the opportunity to
earn up to a 5 percent credit for renewal premium."
Buck also recommends that clients bundle their
auto and home insurance through the same carrier.
"The savings and the quality of the policy as a
package are almost-unbeatable," Duck said. "We
always try to do what we can to save the customer
the most amount of money."
The public may be aware of the need for auto and
home insurance, but some seem to place life
insurance on the back burner.
"There is a big misconception that it's expensive
and they can't afford it," Buck said. "The younger
you are, the cheaper it is. Young families really
nood to work life insurance into their budgets. A

assets in the event something should happen."
Allstate Insurance Company recently recognized
Buck for high standards in customer satisfaction,
customer retention and profitability, She achieved
the distinctive Allstate Honor Ring Award. For
nearly GO years, the Honor Ring has been Allstnte's
symbol of outstanding achievement. Worn with
pride by generations of Allstate agents, the Honor
Ring recognizes Buck for her 2004 performance and
is a symbol of the agency's dedication in serving
customers.
"It's a tremendous honor to earn the Honor
Ring," Buck said. "My agency's commitment is to
serve customers and we're pleased that the
company has acknowledged our efforts."
In addition to insurance, the agency, located at
32730 Walker Road, Unit C-5 in Avon Lake,
supports a variety of Avon/Avon Lake youth sports
programs. Call Lecnnne Sodee to set up an

A combination of 401(k) and Roth IRA can let you reach financial goals
Your 401 (k) plan is'unquestionably a great vehicle for
building retirement savings. You typically fund your plan
with pro-tax dollars, so your contributions can lower your
annual taxable income. Plus, your earnings grow on a taxdeferred basis. So, you should always put in as much as
you can afford to your 401(k), right? Not necessarily.
Why? Because you may be able to get more "mileage"
out of your retirement plan dollars by pulling some of
them into a Roth IRA. As you may know. Roth IRA
earnings have the potential to grow tax-free, provided
you've held your account at least live years and you don't
start taking withdrawals until you reach age 59 1/2, Furthermore, when you invest in a 401(k) or a similar plan
(such as a 403(b) or 457 plan), you may be required to take
minimum distributions when you reach 70 1/2, but you
can let your Roth IRA keep growing until you decide
when to take withdrawals.
FINANCIAL
FOCUS
Reported By
Bob Brooks
Here's one suggestion: Put ns much as necessary into
your 401(k) lo uarn your employer's matching contribution, if one is offered. Then, fully fund your Roth IRA. If
you "max out" ou your Roth IRA, and you still can afford
to set aside more funds for retirement, increase your
40t(k) salary deferral. (In 2005, you can put up to S4.000
into a Roth IRA. or S4.50D if you are 50 or older. You can
also defer up to 314,000 to your 401 (k), or 318,000 if you,
are 50 or older.)
Of course, this strategy may not be applicable if your
income is loo high lo contribute to a Roth IRA. If you are
a single filer, you can put in the full amount to your Roth
IRA if your modified adjusted gross income [AGO is less
than 395,000 per year, and you can make partial contribu-
Do you have to choose?
Clearly, both a Roth IRA and a 401 (k) offer significant advantages to you as you build funds for retirement. And, fortunately, you don't have to choose one
of these vehicles over the other. So, how should you
divvy up your contributions?
tions if you earn between 395,000 and 3110,000. If you are
married, and filing jointly, you can contribute the maximum lo your Roth IRA if your AGI is less than 3150,000
per year; you can make partial contributions if your AGI is
between 3150,000 and 3160,000.
Keep diversification in mind
If you can contribute to both a Rotli IRA and a
401(k), you'll need to carefully choose the investments
that make up these respective retirement plans. You
won't want to "duplicate" your holdings by choosing
virtually identical investments in your Roth IRA and
401(k). Instead, seek to diversify as much as possible.
For example, if your 401(k) is made up mostly of
aggressive growth vehicles, you may want to fund your
Roth IRA with somewhat more conservative investments. Your individual asset allocation should depend
on your risk tolerance, long-term goals and time horizon. Just keep in mind that your Roth IRA and 401(k)
are two pieces of a bigger picture.
• ''
By wisely integrating your 401(k) and your Roth
IRA into your overall investment strategy, you can go a
long way toward achieving your ultimate goal-a comfortable retirement lifestyle.

Be sure to read the fine print of the real estate, sales contract
Have you ever read one of those travel agency ads that
offer seven days/six nights in paradise for a package price
of 3399? You may have also noticed the fine print in the
ad: Airport transfers, taxes, tips, and departure tax not'
included. Although the basic cost of the trip is S309, there
. are other charges that must also be paid.
There are seller expenses beyond the real estate commission, which are also a part of the expense of selling a
property. Sonic of these include title examination and
guarantee fees. The seller is generally responsible for half
the escrow department's closing fee as well as deed preparation and recording fees. All in all, the seller fees beyond

reports and appraisals required upon loan application, 6)

figured as a percentage of the purchase price or loan

Only the closing escrow iiycni can calculate tlio exact
amount needed to complete tho Iransaction.
A good rulo of thumb a purchaser can uso lo asiimnlu
their mortgage acquisition costs is about Si,BOO plus origination fees. Discount points are generally charged only if
the purchaser is buying down the rate of the loan. Be careful of the origination fees charged; they can vary significantly from lender to lender. Also remember that if there
are zero foes, the loan percentage rate will be higher to
make up for those fees, which have to be paid by the purchaser. In addition to the loan acquisition fees, the purchaser will also be required to pay for title insurance, 1/2
Thanks
of the escrow fee as well as a number of state fees. A general rulo of thumb is that the purchaser buying a $200,000
properly will pay about 34,000 in total fees. If your fees are
significantly higher than that, ask the escrow agent for an
explanation.
The lender is required to give the purchaser a "truthin-lcnding" estimate of their fees when they apply for their
mortgage. This gives you plenty of time to understand the
fees. However, it is a little late to change them once you
have applied for your mortgage. So, the best consumer
advice I can give is that when you are "shopping" for your
mortgage, ask tho loan officer for an approximation of the
total costs of acquiring the payment you were-quoted.
Only by knowing the total lender fees can you truly judge
if the monthly payment you are being quoted is your best
arrangement.

Always work willi u proven realtor and follow their
advice concerning loan officers. A realtor ethically should
not recommend a specific mortgage company, but experienced realtors can givo you a number of choices who have"'
proven themselves worthy of realtor as well as purchaser"
and seller trust. The correct combination can make a transaction seem relatively easy. An inexperienced loan com-'.'
pany or title company can cause only grief to all when the
requirements for the loan are too demanding causing excessive hardship on the purchaser or the transfer of title;
is delayed.

Sinatra popularity prompts restaurant name transition
By Cynthia Schuster-Eakln
There hns never been a finer tribute to Old Blue Eyes. Tho popularity
of all things Sinatra at Danny Boy's
pizza eateries in Rocky River and
Avon Lake is prompting owners Rob
and Rone Grondow to change the
name of the restaurant to Perfectly
Frank Pizzeria,
"We made the decision to change
the name bccnuse of all the Sinalra
stuff," Rob Grendow said. His reslau•rants are decorated vvilh Frank Sinatra and Rat Pack memorabilia. Sinatra
tunes play in the dining room, and
customers play Sinatra trivia for baskets of warm, yummy bread sticks.
What started out as Grendow's hobby
as a Sinatra fan has drawn more and
more people into his pizzerias over
the years. There has always been
some confusion over the Danny Boy's
name, Grendow said, with similarly
named bars in the area and the former
Danny Boy's farm market in North
Olmsted. He said the transition to the
new name will happen gradually over
