Last week 1 waded through the 104page state performance audit of the
Sheffield-Sheffield Lake school district.
It's available on the Internet, if you canto

to
http://www.auditor.state.oh.us/ and
click on "audit search.' The audit is also
posted on the school district's website,
nitp'Jf www.sheiiieldk 12.oh. us.
The report is detailed, wrll-organizi'd
and thorough. It shows that, except for a
few, relatively minor details (like turning
down thermostats in winter, more centralized purchasing of pap«r. pencils and
uther supplies) the district had already
cut its hudget to the bone before the
audit commenced last June. Many voters
}n the district refused to believe that, but
it's true. Check out the audil report:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Educate voters

As a citizen and supporter of my community and iU public schools, I would like
to thank the 3,079 voter* in the Milage of
Sheffield and the Qty of Sheffield Lake
who cast "yes" volts for hsut 47 ou Nov.
2. Your affirmation of the genuine need for
the schools to maintain the positive
momentum in test scores and graduation
rales is truly commvndsble.
For the 3.452 residents who voted
"no."* I would like to understand jour reasoning behind the vote My purpose it
simple. While we krurn* ihe next step fur
our schools will b.* state receivership, the
need for school funding will not disappear.
Tberefbrs, a ISYI will need to be passed to
eliia*"7**e our current and forecasted
dentils- If accepted. J will once again serve
in a leadership capacity on the upcoming
levy campaign for the Sheffield/Sheffield
Laktr Schools. We will embark on an
aggressivB campaign to educate voters oa
the current financial stale of our school
system, the teachers, administrators, and
other pertinent i&su^s ifldtus to the need
for current funding. The goal wul be to
provide tha voting public with facts in
order to make as informed voting decision
at th» next available election. Part of that
process will be to address concerns
expressed by the public We are all frustrated by the state's current method of
school funding and wish it would change.
However. untJiil does at the state level, we

First analysis of CEI acreage shows favorable returns
AVON
Byfctt^eFerrari
On Oct. 25. Arm Council members approved of purxhastnj 73 acres of land off SRfit1 and MiUer Road focmvriy o«T>=d trf First Energy.
The land was a «teal at the price of S325^00. but
'cminr*! had concerns .^bout the past usage of the land as
it was utilized as a dumping ground far buml coal.
The energy company filled the lakes that sat on the
property with the discarded, burnt coal, and council ivas
concerned about pollution levels of the area.
If thv land Is used for commercial or municipal purposes, either for development ortoadd to the park system
in the city, council wmrud to be sore about any toxin levels that may exist
Avon Mayor Jim Smith, along Kith the rest of council
initiated an environmental study and the first set of
results has beenreturnedtodry officials.
According to Planning Coordinator Jim Piazza, the
results wen favorable for both nommwrcial and municipal development of the !and.
- :
Phase 1 of the onviroxunental study was completed by
Camp Dresser and McKee fCDM) a consulting, engineering. constructioQ and operano&x.Snn, based out of Pittsburgh that has a satellite oince in Cleveland.
The ftudy was suhmtUadtocity hall on Nov. 24.
Thi firm colluded rdne-10 samples of the coat ash
from separate locations on ibe property,
as their initial
search for *""rfn* so**: '*witan*If*j*nt* showed the land is
roort than suitablefor development.
Piazza said phase 2, which will follow the same procedure, but In greater deUlL will tak» placn in the near
future- . •
. Another collection of nine samples will be gathered
tta deeper diggingfora "full environmental" analysis of
the entire parcel.
Piazza aaid tha vnvironnicntal stutiies are all part of
the due diligence aspect of the purchasing agreement
between First Enej^y and the citv. According to Piazza.
the city bus until fan. 16 to complete the study.
. Phase 1 of thtt study cost the city 39.000 to complete
and the second has boon estimated at S22.0O0. Piazza
u k l he Is unsure as tu when the second phase would
begin.
"Phase I was indicative of what First Energy presented the property as." Piazza said of the land being toxin
and contaminant free. "Phass 2 is more thorough and in
depth and that will alleviate any doubt that tnay rvinain.
"PositivB results will guanuitw our safety."
Tb dale, it I» unknown how th« land will be utilized.
: "Trie land is very reasonably priced." Smith said in
late October. "We could utillzB the land for different
numidpal uses with the parks being one of those. We are
very pleated to have obtained roch a large portion of land
far the city, particularly for the price."
The property1 is adjaennt to 42 acres of land that is
already owned and controlled by tint city. Currently concrete and stone and other materials uwd by various city
departments are on the land.
Councilman Tim Nickum said Smith was following
through his promise to coui.cil in thrir deslru for him
to be cognizant about the need for additional parkland.
" "A few years ago the people on council at the time
brought up the question of gating morw property for parkland," Nickum said. '"The mayor lias bwn diligent in
making that bapprn.
"ll Is quite on addition lo thu city becau*« tlwre are a
motutude of tilings that can ho dotm with the land."
Smith not»d Uui AT&T also has a cell towar i>n the
property.1 which gtmuralt's money for the city'* ^wi*1™!
fund.
"Council will derido on the u««« on the land." Smitli
•aid, "No one can argue thtit thv land will be good to have,
particularly when the city is *»t full build out beoiuw we
ivlU need more land for parks and other thing*.
' "When fonio property becomes avdilahte. especially <&
the right pric», you Unw to take a look at it booius* we
will need moce land in the future."
According to tile mayor, in the la'e tS70s and early
•Bus. the Environmental Protection Agency fEPAJ studied
and surveyed the land and confirmed th«?n- were not any
hazardous materials present AS a result of the burnt coal.
"I have EPA statements that there an* no hazardous
malerials," Smith said shortly after the purchase w u
approved by council "We are still going tofollow
up
from tho environmental side to make sure evoryui"1*! ' s
alright though."
Prior to signing the purchase agreement, council pro-
vided a stipulation on the final sale that gave die city the
option of abandoning the purchase if the land was found
to be environmentally unsafe.
"I am very pleased with the first test results." Smith
said,' We are* not done though. We are going to run every
test tp*t vre can to make sure we can develop the land *s
vie see GL-you can never be too safe in matters like
these."
The initial test results will be followed up by further
analysis that could ultimately finalize the deal if oo toxLis are found.

Hello? Police warn residents of prison phone scam
SHEFFIELD VILLAGE
By JotTn Edwards
Sheffield Village Police ISVPD) Drt. Lt
Ron Trifiletti warned residents last week
about a telephone scam being perpetrated
"all around the county" by prison inmates.
TrifUetti said the inmate* will dial a
random local telephone number and tell
whoever answers a sad story about being
unable to dial a number to reach a parent,
sibling or other loved one. Without identifying themselves as prisoners, the inmates
then, ask the person answering the call to
dial the number for them, then "call-forward" U by hitting *72 after dialing. That
sticks the resident with paying the bill for
ihscalL
Trifiletti said complaints have been
received from Sheffield residents as well
as others in the county, prompting the
Lorain County SheriEPs office to circulate a
warning about the scam lo police departments. Most calls from jails and prisons.
TriGletti said, are handled by MCL
"You can call MO at (800) 231-0193
and ask them to put a blade on your line to
stop such calls," Triiiletti said. That will
keep inmates from calling you. Orce the
block lias hewn installed, you must apply
in writing if you want to have it rtMi.oved.
Other than that, you just say 'no' and hang
up. If you have Caller ID., check your
incoming calls before answering. If it's
comingfroma jail or prison, don't answer
it."
'"We put out a warning that inmates
were asking people to put their number on
call forwarding." Sheriffs Department
Captain Jim Drozdcwski said. "That
enables the inmates to make more calls
through the resident's phone without them
knowing it until they receive their bill.
There are various charges for prison calls
to different areas."
"The inmates usually have some story
about being unable to reach a sick relative
or something similar," Drozdowski said.
"We've been telling residents to refuse to
accept such calls and to call the phone
company and their local police dep-irtment if it happens. Some phone companies will remove the charges if asked. We
originally thought all the calls were coming from the county jail but we've found
the practice is prevalent in state prisons."
Avon Lake Police Chief Dave Owad
said he was unaware of any complaints
from city residents about the scam. Avon
Chief John Vjlajy said he was aware of the
scam, but didn t know how many Avon
residents hadreceivedsuch calls.
"We had a situation two weeks ago.
where one guy rolled from prison and gave
the resident 9 sad story about being unable
to reach his mother." Avon detective Kevin
Krugman said. "A couple of hours after the
resident call-forwarded the inmate's call,
the phone began to ring once, then stop.
Calls were being placed through the resident's call forwarding. They called CwnturyTel to complain, then called us."
•This is a well-known scam." Sheffield
Lake Detective Jerry Paysor said. "Most of
the calls come from state prisons and they
ask to use your call-forwarding or threeway cull feature to make calls at your
expense."
"It may not even be long distance but at
the least you're stuck with a bill for a
prison call." SVPD Detective Bill Visalden
said. "They won't necessarily say they're
calling from prison, but they'll give you
some sad story about not being able to
reach a loved one. Prison calls are at least
SS-S12 apiece, or whatever MCI charges
for prison calls. Some people Call for it
more than once, at least until they get their
phone bills."

want to watt. We have spent a lot of money
tn get all of the numbers together but TranSystems cannot move forward."
In the essence of time, TranSysletns
approached NOACA lo sanction a
methodology for a new system to allow the
comparison of new and old model data,
but according to piazza. NOACA refused
the possibility. NOACA approved of the
numbers that TranSystems collected, but
will not act on that data under any circumstance until the June 2005 model is
complete.
"They (NOACA) kept saying the model
was almost ready," Piazza said of what he
was told by NOACA officials during the
summer about the model. "An interchange
is a contentious issue and NOACA will not
approve it until everything is in place."
Kea Wright, planning director for
ODOT said in early November the possibility of trying to compare Avon's current
data v« ith the old model could speed up
the process.
"There is always a (transportation)
model* because projects have to be worked
on." Wright said- "Do you wait for the new
model wht-n die old model is definitely
old? TranSystetra is trying to use the old
information with some new data to try and
start the study. Then when it is ready, they
would use the new model and plug the
information into that newest model lo
make sure some of the assumptions are
valid. It may be better than not doing anything until June."
The newest developments could further damage thu mlationship between the
city and ODOT and NOACA officials as
Avon officials feel the delay is further testament to the stall tactics they feared were
being used by the agencies.
Councilman Dennis McBride didn't
mince words about how he felt regarding
the delayed study.
"If NOACA is what we all have to look
forward to for regional government, we're
in trouble." he said. "NOACA represents
the pitfalls of regional government. They
are a year behind on arequiredstudy.1*
Ward 3 Councilman Tim Nickum said
he too expected delays with the roodeL
"I knew it was going to be suspended
from the beginning," Nickum said. "When
we asked NOACA questions, they always
seemed so negative. 1 recently went down
through Culumbus to Cincinnati end saw
three new interchanges being built. If it can
happen down there, it can happen liere."
Ron Eckjier. director of transportation
for NOACA said that in no way is there
any sort of "stall" tactics coming from the
stiff level.
"At the staff level we are not dragging
our feet at all." Eckner suid in early
November. "The members of the board are
at the policy level, and though the study
will have to coordinate with us, uhimal(*iy
the approval goes through the board."
Eckner said any delays that have been
experienced are tlie result of the U-S. Census Department getting NOACA lhe Census Transportation Planning Package
(CTPPJ thai was expected to be complete
in 2003. but was not until the summer of
'(H. The CTPP provides NOACA aod
ODOT and all supervising traffic agencies
in the state with crurinl population, demographic, employment and growth data that
allows said agencies to formulate the
model.

STUDY, from page 1
-TranSystems did the on-site work of
due-diligence with the surrounding cities
and tabulated that data." Piazza said.
"They held stakeholder meetings at city
hall during the summer in an effort to get
even more dala and information-"*
During those meetings alternatives to
alleviate traffic patterns, such as other
north/south and east/west toads that could
be either rebuilt or constructed to help traffic congestion were also discussed.
The plan was to collect all of the information and compare it with NOACA's
model to be able to point to similarities
ftfui differences.
TranSystems. and the City of Avon
were not aware until recently that
NOACA'i model was not based on the
most current census, ultimately rendering
the new data incompatible.
"NOACA told me the)' will not have a
new model completo to compare Avon's
information (which will eg^n change]

Appliance Recycling
Awareness Week
Recycling an old appliance is easier than you might think.
Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions:
- Which appliances require special handling and why?
Any unit that contains a pressurized refrigerant Refrigerators, freezers, air
conditioners and dehumkJifiers are the most common types. The refrigerant is harmful if released into the air, so the law requires that it be collected and recycled by a certified technician using the proper equipment
* W h a t are the ways l o p r o p e r l y dispose n f these appliances?
1- Have the deaier take it when your new appliance is delivered.

2. Grve the appliance to a dealer, repair shop or recycler.
3. Have the refrigerant removed by a company with the proper credenKats and equipment, then take the shell to a recycler or a local recycling collection or have it picked up by your local trash hauler (availability for the last two varies by community).
REMEMBER: Any Person or company that accepts one of the<g appliance?; with refrigerant still in it becomes responsible for rArnnving i[ prftnerV. Be sure tc ask if they have the ability to do so.
• W h a t about other appliances?
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and many smaller Items are primarily made of steel and easiry recyclable. They can be taken directly to a
recycler or a local recycling collection or picked up by your local trash
hauler (availability for the last two varies by community).
« H t m do I find the right people o r companies to do these things?
Look in the Yetow Pages for the main heading of "Appliances - Mi/ar" or
"Appliances, Household - Major". Under them wilt be subheadings for Dealers, Parts and Repairs, Recyclers are listed under "Recycling Centers* or
"Scrap Metals". Any of tbci.* may be able to help you. Information about
local recycling collections or pick-up at the curb can be obtained from your
local city/viiiage utilities department or your township clerk.

Chronic, law-grade infections in
the mouth have been shuwn to play

Researchers .AI the University of
Minnesota, led Dr. Mark Herzberg

BASKETBALL
New faces eager to pick up where departed seniors left off
AVON
By Matt ThornicroH
Minus the familiar names and fates
that helped establish a iiww winning tradition in Avon boys basketball over the
last few seasons, the 20(14 edition of the
Eagles is eager to mate Us awn mark.
With the loss of eight seniors, including five starters, tront la-sl year's team
that finished 13-a overall anil 9-5 in the
Lorain County Conference, the opportunity is there for the next generation of
Avon Eagles to state their pldce on the
team. That being said, competition for
those spots is as tuuj;ii as ever.
"We lost just about everything."
Avon bead coach fini Baker said. "We
have one returning let ILTW inner bank, in
Matt Cray. We'll definitely see some dif
ferent facus."
Gray, who's listed at (i-fficjt-4 and 22U
pounds, has bulled up and improved
since last year. Baker expects the center.
who averaged two points and two fouls
a game last season, to be a lot mnre productive in the paint.
"Matt's a lot better." Baker said.
"He's built himself up. He :t|>eiit a little
bit of time in the weight room and has
grown into a legitimate center. He's
catching the ball better and finishing
plays better than he has in the past."
While they've lost a lot. those players coming up to varsity look hungry for
their chance to shine. Last year's junior
varsity squad put together a very good
season. Baker hopes that success, coupled with the desire to continue a recent
run of winning seasons, can carry over
to the varsity season.
-Our junior varsity won 14 games
last year, which is definitely a positive."
Baker said, "There's no substitute for
winning. Hopefully thai can carry over
to this season. Some of our players are
coming off a very successful football
season an J I hope that winning attitude
continues. We can make a lot of excuses
for what we Jost, but tlio bottom line is
that losing is not an option."
And wins are going to come from
mastering the fundamentals.
The Eagles as a whole are going to
have to step it up inside the paint. The
team's most reliable long-boll shooters
departed last year. Until the team can
find someone who can knock down
shots consistently from the outside.
there will be a lot of dirty work to be
done under the basket.
Gone are the days when the Eagles
could rain threw-poinUrrsund long-range
jumpers almost nt will on defenses that
dared them. While Avon will still need
to hit those shots on occasion, this
year's offense will need to make sum
they play a very (-(insistent quarter-court
game.
"We have to get easy caskets." Baker
said. "We're going to have to maximize
every possession. We can't turn the ball
over. We can't walk the ball up the floor.

Jason Demers (6' 3") aren't tiny either.
With Gray playing center. Bushong and

there's been a lot of competition for playing time."

Demers add a little extra height to the
forward 'position. They also have the
ability to drain a jumper or two outside.
Seniors Dave Baker and foe Gregory are
solid on the inside as well.
"We've got a lot of intt*rt;hiinRcarjle
parts," Bak«r "wild. "Matt is our only true
post player. Th« other kids can .sti-p out

well. Allof them have the ability to play

Good inside play will give Avon mi
edge in the rebound department. If the
Eagles ure going lu get easy baskets,
they're going to need to creule e«sy baskets with rebounds. Whether it's scoring
on put-backs or igniting a fast bieiik. it

The Lady Eagles have mapped out
several goals to get them through the

out of reach.
"This season we are looking to
improve on our conference and overall records," Holbrook said. "We want

Conference (.lumpiunships. a pair of
returning stale rjuaiifitTs ami j iiust u(
returning district qualifiers ai:d individual conference chumpitJtis-vuu could
easily say the Avon wrestling team will be
one of the teams to beat this MMMJIL.
But talk is cheap.
Avon, a team folks in Uie wrestling
world considered young arid talented not
that long ago. enters this year as a seasoned veteran tuim loaded with talent.
Eager lo build on their past successes,
many members put in plenty of off-season work in hopes of raising the bar.
"I've not kept it secret from the team
that our goal* are going to be higher than
they've «vtiT been." head couch Mark
Porter said. "Obviously we're lucking for
another Conference championship, which
would be our thi-d in a row and afirstfur
our wrestling conununity. We wan* to get
as many wrestlers to the state meet as
possible and have them score enough to
get our team on that leader board. We'd
like to finish in the top-10 in the team
standings. If we can stay healthy, that is
definitely a possibility."
Returning seniors Tommy LaRosa mu
Ky!e Vasiloff have been there and done
that and will be counted on to lead the
way.
LaRosa. a two-time state qualifier,
ended last year with a 38-9 individual
record and placed sixth in the Division n
state tournament- The sectional champion placed second in districts and second
in the Tjirain County Conference.
LaRosa. who wrestled at 160 pounds
last year, bulked up and will wrestle at
189 pounds. He's hoping to qualify for a
third-straight trip to the state tournament
for a chance at an individual state championship.
"Tommy has been lifting all year
long." Porter said. "He's quicker and
stronger. Tommy has improved ever)*
year. Th« situation is the same with Kyle.
He earned an individual championship
over the summer at a Michigan Slate
University competition camp, which is n
very good camp."
Vasiloff. who finished last year with a
32-£ record, earned sectional championship and runner-up honors at districts
and the LCC tournament, fell an overtime
point shy of placing at last year's state
tournament at 135 pounds. Vasiloff. who
will WTestle at 145 pounds, also has hi*
eyes on compiling for an individual title.
, ' A state alternate at 145 pounds last
year, senior K.J. Saladonis is also hungry
to take the next step. Saladonis placed
second in the conference and at section*
als and Ml a point shy of qualifying for a
state tournament berth last year.
"Nothing motivates a wrestler more
than a match like R.J. experienced nt districts last year." I'orter said. "He's working
toward his goals of being a state qualifier

and a state placer. He's worked hard in the
off-season, lifting a lot. He's also matured
a lot and has become a team leader."
Seniors Brandon Xagel (130) pounds
and Matt Sandella (160) are also expecting to do big things this season. Nagel.
who returns to die 130 pound weight
class, is looking for a fourth-straight trip
to the district tournament. \Vith that said,
he's also hoping to make it to Columbus.
He is also a defending LCC champion.
Sandella, a 2003 district qualifier, also
has his eyes on big things. Senior Chris
Drda (171 pounds) placed fourth in the
Lorain County Conference last year and
placed in several tournaments last year at
189 pounds. Drda will wrestle at 171
pounds this year.
Senior Zack Hatcher will wrestle at
135 pounds. He played a huge role in last
year's LCC championship with a fourthplace finish at the conference meet at 119
pounds.
"We have u good nucleus of seniors."
Porter said. "They're a good cla&t and
they lead by example. That's really
important if we wain to pet to the next
level."
Some very talented juniors will add
some depth to the roster. Junior Erik
Sclmandt til*l) is corning off a Lnrain
Qiunty Conference championship at 112
pounds <tnd was a district qualifier.
funiur heavyweight Billy Biro has
grown in both size and ex|H*rit;nce. Biro is
also a returning district qualifier.
[iitiior Nate Eick. cont'iig of a l'J-7 season last year, will wrestle at 215 pounds.
Classmate Dave Ehmun will wrestle <tt
112 pounds.
Suphuuiort? Max Saladouis is turning
uff a 34-win season during which he was
a conference runner-up and a district
qualifier at 103 pounds. Saladonis bulked
up big time and is learning the differences
of a large weight class. Sophomore Jeff
Sandella will contribute at 140 pounds.
Eagle wrestling fans can also expect
several other talented wrestlers tofillin
when and if needed.
"We have some good, quality kids."
Porter said. "We have six freshman who
are ail really hard workers and are all athletic We're going to have a nice year this
year, next year and the year after."

work with.
However, with this being such a new

a few Uds on the team who are participating far the first time.

In case you were wondering what in the world happened to Avon Lake High
School's boys basketball, wrestling and cheerleadtng team photos and Brooksidft
High School's wrestling team photo, don't worry.
I didn't lose them.
Because of thtt extended football season, Avon Lake High School wasn't able
to schedule at! their team picture days prior to our print deadlioe. The Cardinal
wrestling team wasn't able to do theirs do to other rircunutances.
Doa't worry though. I'm hoping to run the remaining teem photos, complete
with names, in upcoming issues.
I hopo you enjoy this year's issue and I'll see you at a pool, court, mat or ice
rink near you.

What's nice about this group is that they

something you have to develop, it's
already there. Tho kids understand they
have to work to get it."
As it stands right now. the conference
could be anyone's game. Most teams lost
key veterans after last season and are
returning with new pUyers.
"'11i«re was a good house cleaning of
seniors in thu SWC after last year," Manco
said. "Tlieru are a lot of teams in tlw satnn
