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

ThilxlFederaT Society and Science Changes Role for Dentists There was a time not so long ago when people thought of tlioir medical doctors as health providers, and their dontists as, well, dentists. Doctors diagnosed your illnesses, attended to your general health, delivered your babies, and dealt with traumatic emergencies. Dentists used to fix your teeth when they hurt, removed them if they really hurt, and gave you lectures about brushing and flossing until you couldn't stand it any longer. Dentists today however, are now acknowledged to be the primary oral health care provider, and your oral health is recognized as a major corner- DENTAL HEALTH By Douglas W. Voiers D.D.S. stone of your general health. In addition, the state of your oral health often provides Uie first indications of major health problems. Scientists now understand how bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and migrate throughout the body. Once there, it can increase arterial plaque which restricts blood flow and increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Research suggests that dental pathology is a stronger predictor for heart disease than other standard markers such as high levels of fibrinogen (a clotting factor), or low levels of good cholesterol, or high triglyccrides. In fact, people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease that am lead to heart attacks and stroke as those with healthy gums. We believe that preventive dental care is the fundamental basis of oral health care. By taking care of dental health, people take a critical step toward overall health and quality of life.

Switaj , Firefighter/paramedics in Avon Lake mot with council's safety meeting July 15 to discuss protocol for the new Avon Emergency Care Center (AECC) expected to open in August. During the three-hour meeting, paramedics first aired their concerns over a change in protocol from the Cuyahoga County based WeSHARE to the newly formed TELCEA based in Lorain County. Doctors from both medical direction programs spoke, including lELCEA's Dr. Daniel Walsh who was adamant that nol all patients had to be transported to the new freestanding emergency department (ED).... While there appears to bo a general consensus that the now ED is adequately staffed and equipped to handle "non critical" medical issues such as broken bones and stitches, paramedics and AECC representative differ on whether which, if any, critical care patients should be transported to the new center. Paramedic and training officer John Reitz opened the session questioning whether the center would reduce overall transport time since many patients will need to be retransported to fully equipped hospitals. 3 Paramedic Dana Szyinanowksi said 50 the communities, that patients must bo ' thesiologist or cardio catheter team on the percent of the patients they transport transported [o the AECC. premises. require hospital admission.

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

JULY 13, 2005 5 Council told to 'seize the moment' with City Center project AVON By Beth Mlady Greg Romes stood at the podium on July 5 and July 11 with sketches of his vision for a now retail development as city council lurked in* their lair at city hall like lions ready to pounco. Romes, president of Lake Pointe Construction Company, armed only with a microphone, presented his case for rezoning [from R-2 residential to C-2 and C-3 commercial) an aroa of 22 acres of property located south of Detroit Road and east of SR 83 which would allow his project. City Center of Avon, to proceed. "You have a tough case lo prove," council president Lorry Hockstra told Romes on July 5. During council's July 11 meeting, Hoekstra road from a prepared statement outlining ll reasons not to grant the rezoning. Among them were the negative effects to the nearby property owners, whether the rezoning passed the test of the law,' if the property in question was financially viable and commercial creep. On July 11, Romes presented council with a Modified Rezoning Analysis conducted by professional planner Albert J. Dispenza Jr. The document references the city's Master Plan and concludes that "In fact, the Master Plan's recommendations favor an expansion of commercially used land in the vicinity of the intersection of SR 83 and Detroit Road, especially, it focuses on the encouragement of a central business district in the French Creek area which is (or was, in 1992) centered at the intersection of SR Gil and Detroit Road. During the July 5 work session, Romes outlined five basic elements for whether or not a property should be rezoned. Health, and safety of local residents was the first point raised. Other considerations, he said, were whether the new development follows the intent of the city's master plan; whether traffic Row would be negatively impacted; whether the letter of the law of rezoning is followed; and, lastly, whether or not the plan enhances the economic and aesthetic future of Avon. " "The city should seize the moment in the downtown corridor of Avon," Romes proclaimed. He was quick to add that his inclusion of a traffic study, the results of which were not yet available, ' was the difference between his proposal and that of Schafcr Development's recently denied rozoning request. Romes told council to consider several aspects of his proposal. The project, he said, would bring 250 jobs to the aroa once the shopping center was at full tenant capacity. Tax revenues from those "to establish new standards for further relnil development in the French Creek District." John Slagter, attorney for Lake Point Construction, struck a nerve with council on July 5 when he said that Avon's 1992 master plan is "outdated."

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

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

THE PRESS. JULY 13, 2005 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hoekstra clarifies To the Editor: I became involved in public service for one reason: To listen to the citizens of Avon and to vote my conscious no matter the political implications. Most of you reading this letter probably have some familiarity with the controversy surrounding the proposed school bus garage in Avon. Behind the scenes your elected officials have been misrepresenting the truth and twisting the facts to make their position look better. Though I do strongly believe that everyone is trying to do what is best for the city, I question whether tho end justifies the means. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few facts and make my position well understood. At the beginning of May, the Avon Board of Education requested an amendment to its special use permit that would allow them to build both a bus garage and storage area for 42 school buses in the front of the Heritage' Nordi School on Detroit Road. Over the course of the next several meetings, discussions were had regarding the site proposed by the school district, as well as the possibility of finding another suitable site. At the meeting in mid-May, city council and the school board decided that it would be easier to discuss Uie pros and cons of all possible sites in a smaller group, a less formal sotting and in a meeting that only dealt with the issue of a school bus garage (as opposed to a full council meeting agenda). In order to do this, I appointed a special committee of Uiree council members to meet with two school board members at the Heritage library. This special committee met once for two hours before a member of the school board requested we end the meeting and schedule another. Shortly .after this meeting, the school board sent out a letter stating that they felt they had made their position known and they simply requested an up or down vote from council. This letter was the last communication the school board had with city council before.we voted. After the vote,-your school board decided to pass a resolution to go forward with the bus garage despite the fact that such a resolution was in clear violation of the city's zoning laws. Following -this move by the school board, city council voted 6-0 to file for injunctive relief to enforce the zoning laws of Avon. I would expect council to file an injunction if any individual or group blatantly disregarded the laws of the city and continued with a project that was not legal. In a loner signed, by the Avon Board of Education, I was accused of calling the school board fiscally irresponsible for not moving the bus garage lo Schneider Court. I did not make a statement of this nature, but I do believe the school board is being fiscally irresponsible by cutting communication with cily council and for intentionally violating the laws of the Cily of Avon, f do not believe cily council would support a full-blown lawsuit against the school district; I certainly would not support such an action. However, I did, and will continue to support • enforcement of Avon's laws. I voted against the location proposed by Ihe school board not because I was opposed to it, but because I Uiink it was possible that a bettor site could bo found. If possible, I_ would like to avoid placing 42 big yellow school buses in the front of a very nice school that lias beautiful landscaping. If possible, I would like to avoid placing a bus garage and bus storage facility in a residenlially zoned neighborhood. The city never had a preferred site but did offer, among other tilings, to lease property at Schneider Court or SR Oil to the school board at the cost of SI per year for 50 years. These sites may or may not have proven to be better locations than what the school board proposed but I cannot, in good faith, vote in favor of something without all options being considered. 1 voted against Ihe Heritage location because the school board refused to consider alternatives and refused lo have further discussions on the issue. I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with tho events that have transpired thus far. You elected your city council and your school board lo compromise and discuss amongst each other, not to hire lawyers lo argue in court. This battle is an expense that the taxpayers of Avon should ITORIAL c^prrpi Illllfllltl PRESS Points. AVON VOI1U riUENDLV rVEiniinoiuiiion BECIIUITER not have to boar.

Larry Hoekstra II Avon City Council President • Home: 937-5615 - Cell: (440) 759-3518 Vote4hoekstra@yalioo.com Avon's failure of leadership To the Editor: The conflict pitting Avon City Council on one side, and planning commission and the board of education on the .other side represents a failure of leadership in Avon. What do we expect of our leaders? Leaders control the use of resources, people and money, to advance a common purpose. We expect them to set aside personal agendas to allocate those resources for the good of the whole community. In terms of local government, there can be no higher purpose than the safety and education of our children. • In this instance, Avon City Council has taken the conflict to court and has allocated resources, our tax dollars as well as the expert time of the law director, to oppose the board of education and planning commission over the location of a garage for the school buses that carry our children. The board of education will have lo respond by spending school dollars for its lawyers to tight city council in court. Ultimately, a dccision-meant for locally elected bodies-will he made by the courts. Of course, while the decision will be taken out of local hands, local Avon tax dollars will be spent on both sides of tho conflict. The board of education is charged with making wise decisions over the use of school dollars to advance the education of our children and determined that a location on Detroit Road for a school bus garage is the best approach. Planning commission is charged with determining whether proposed developments comply with the planning and zoning requirements and whether the proposals arc in the long term interest of a our community. Planning commission approved the board of education proposal for a school bus garage. City council, with no authority over school funds and no authority over planning, is attempting to block the construction of the bus garage on Detroit, claiming thai ils judgment is superior to the judgment of the board of education and the planning commission. Neither side acted in our interests, as attempts to resolve tho conflict failed. The school board defied council and the battle has now shifted to Lorain County Common Picas Court. Soon, the Court will rule and-with funding from the taxpayers-one side can claim victory over the other. But we need to'remember that il is a hollow victon- when our elected leadership fails our children. Jack Kilroy Lorain Where's the fun? To the Editor: My name is Rachael Mears. I'm a 14year-old girl going into her. freshman year of high school this upcoming school year at Avon Lake High School. I've been making it through this summer for a month now, and it's already getting dull. In Avon Lake, there is nothing you can do to have any fun. The only tilings in this town are numerous parks, where, as upcoming high schoolers, aren't very amusing anymore. We have the Avon Lake Municipal Pool, but you can only go swimming so many times before you get bored of it. And as for "The Cut," it's only going to be so long before a boat and a swimmer collide, not to mention the constant sky-high bacteria level and undertows. The Youth Center is, and excuse my blunt way of saying this, basically a psychiatric ward with four walls and a TV. The activities they try to start up there are always irritating and overrun by elementary school children as well. When "Liquid Therapy" started a Teen Night for kids to hang out at, my friends and I were all so excited that we may actually have an event that we can actually enjoy nnd have some fun at, and almost immediately it was shut down by the cily for being "inappropriate." It just seems that every time something entertaining pops up in this town, it's shut down for some unknown reason. As someone who is 14, with no license or way of transportation but by our parents or bikes, skateboards, etc., il makes it really difficult to go somewhere and have a good time. So the fact is, we constantly have to leave our hometown just lo find something to do for a couple hours. It's ridiculous. I just hope someone reads Ibis and realizes that you're Ihe one Inking away all our freedom in this lown, and we need something to amuse us out here, because it can only be so long before teens in this town get so bored out of minds that we start getting into more trouble. Maybe this can open someone's eyes lo how isolated from the world we feel we arc in this town. Thanks.

JULY 13, 2005 in their quest to adequately consider all the options, otherwise, say goodbye to quiet, peaceful mornings and hello to planning life around the school bus schedule and ugly strip malls. Krisly Rico Avon LETTERS, from paga 7 your own driveway (or development) due to the long lino of buses blockading the street in both directions. Imagine having to plan your day around the bus schedule so you can make certain you are able to make an appointment on time. Everyday. All week Nine.months a year. This is what will happen to all those in the developments and homes around Avon Heritage if the school board builds their bus garage in front of the school. And then what happens as the City of Avon grows and more buses are required-will they build another garage opposite this one so that when you pull into the school you drive through two maintenance garages? That is a pretty picture with double the noises, smells and congestion. The bottom line is that the buses are going to be moved (and we who live in front of Avon Middle School are thankful) but be forewarned if they place this monstrosity in your front/back/side yard. Call the school board president. Angle Marsiglia, today at 937-4680 and ask her to resume the talks they cut off with the city regarding the bus garage location. Also, call city hall today for your city council representative's phone number (937-7800) and let them you know support their desire to look at all the available pptionsnot just the Heritage location. For those of you who said, "I don't live near the school, it has nothing to do with me" keep in mind that the a legal precedent will be set to support any developer who demands city council to rozone from residential to commercial to put a ugly strip mall in your front yard. Let's just take dozens of Lorain Road strip malls in North Olmsted and drop them in at the intersection of 83 and Detroit. Might as well mention your thoughts on that to council, too, when you call. Our city council is acting wisely to look at all the options and that should be commended instead of allowing the school board to fund this eyesore with your most recent tax levy increase-that's right-all Avon homeowners will be paying for it! We need to act now to support council New ER in Avon To the Editor: I have been reading the letters and articles pertaining to the freestanding emergency room in Avon. I was in the lire and emergency medical service for 28 years; 19 of that I spent as chief of my department. I was in the first EMT pilot program in Ohio and the 'first paramedic class hi Lorain County. I was on die international Ohio fire chiefs and Lorain County emergency medical committees for 18 years and on the committee that worked to pass the trauma bill in Ohio. My point is that I know of what I speak. First I understand the concern of the people that are doing the job every day. I also understand the concerns of the chiefs who take ultimate responsibility for the operations of these emergency squads. This is not the first Freestanding emergency room in Lorain County. There was one at the former St. Joseph's in Lorain that opened several limes until they closed it, but stayed in operation for several years. Many departments took patients to this ER and many patients were then transported to Community Health Partners, since they could not admit patients at the ER at St. Joe's since it was not a hospital. Many of the people that worked there now xvork at St. John West Shore. That operation was very controversial at the lime. We were told by our medical director and the stale hospital board that this was a licensed facility; it was proper to take patients to St. Joe's. And if we passed the facility we may be liable. There are many emotions thai come into play here. But in the objective view, these facilities, their processes and the training they give must be certified by the State of Ohio, the same as all programs of its kind in Ohio. If they do not meet the regulation they cannot provide the services. Again I can understand the emotions from all those This year, summer is our treat. who's reason for doing the jobs they do because they want the bust possible systems for their citizens. But I think that this is a new idea to many people involved, but the question should be asked "Does this program and the services it will provide to the lire departments and citizens of the communities have certification from the proper agencies that review all training and facilities in Ohio, meet the standards or not?" I believe that an objective eye should be used to view this proposed system. I know many of the firefighters and all the chiefs involved in these areas. And I can toll you none of them would operate outside of llio standards for emergency medical services delivery set by the State of Ohio, not because of liability but because this is not a job, this is their life. And part of thai is delivery of the best service they can. Perhaps a committees made up of representatives from all the factions should be initiated to review the program and its compliance in an objective manner. The decision process must be based on facts and not feelings, especially not in stories of gloom and doom by any party. The focus must be what is best for the citizens of the area and not who are my friends. And finally to comment on the letter that made the suggestion that money may have been the reason for this. Who pays your salary and we do not have any non-profit hospitals here, the inference was very much out of line. Don't ever forget that your job is to serve your citizens even if it is unpopular with you. personally. God bless you all and may everyone go home each day. Gone Rouse Retired, Sheffield Lake Being a role model 101 To the Editor: As a mother of tlirce sons and a first grade teacher, I take my job as a "role model" very seriously. However, I was very disappointed to see an umpire and a coach at a minor league Avon Lake baseball game not realizing the importance of their jobs as "role models" to the 9 and 10-year-old boys they work with. I don't know either of these gentlemen, but based on their behavior, perhaps they should be reminded of what a role model is. Here are several dictionary definitions of a role model: 1. A person who someone admires and whose behavior they try to copy. 2. A person who serves as an example of the values, attitudes and behaviors associated with a role. 3. Someone whose character, life and behavior is taken as a good example to follow. These men need to remember the importance of their roles and that everything they do and say leaves an imprint on tlie young men under their charge. In the future I hope the league takes a closer look at the "role models" they choose to teach our children. Linda Wozniak Avon Lake Value. Convenience. Flexibility.

Switaj. , Avon Lake resident -William (Bill) "Zaubi has pulled petitions to run for 'city council," making-him the eighth resident to stop forward for three contested at-large seals in the Nov. B election! The political newcomer has been vocal'in the past year, aiming criticism at city council and the mayor for approving a tax abatement deal with Herman "Bucky" Kopf to redevelop the Aqua Marine property1. He said ho is running on a platform of bringing fiscal responsibility and integrity back to council and the City of Avon, Lake. Zaubiralohg wiuVAvon resident Gerald Phillips and council-at-largo candidate Keith Davey, led a recall on the vote to approve the project along with a recall attempt of Mayor Rob Bonier. Included in the recall petition .of Berner, • Zaubi claimed Borner no longer represented the people. If elected, Zaubi said he didn't expect the past to pose problems with Berner, saying "we're all professionals." Zaubi, who lists himself ns "pro business," is a computer salesperson with over 25 years in the computer business. He would like to institute a local version of Colorado's TABOR [Taxpayers BUI Of Rights) law mat says the state's expenditures cannot exceed, within a certain percentage, the funds generated by taxes. "It would be like a citywide TABOR law," Zaubi said. "One of my goals, if elected, would be to tighten ths city's belt on spending." The candidate was critical of some" aspects of city spending as well as tho : way the Krebs Road assessments were handled, citing a lack of communication. :Zaubi also expressed concern over's suggested charter amendment to place time limits on recall attempts. Presently there is no limit. "We shouldn't restrict the rights of the people," he said. Weighing in on tho refurbishing attempts on Park Hall hr Veterans Park, also known as the Folgcr Home, Zaubi - said he would consider turning it into a restaurant similar to Strongsvilla's Pomoroy House. Zaubi is married and has two children. He has been a resident for , five years. wrong time to put it on tho ballot. Either you have to find tin acceptable level or niarkul it correctly." Craciis said tho levy obviously didn't receive the support of tliu public and spoculatod butler communication was neoclcd. "Tho board has to communicate with citizens in a much better way than thuy aro doing now," Cracas said. Tho former teacher said Iiu was surprised to luarn the school district is spending S1Q.QOO for a survey on public opinion and levies. "A survey is nice, but they've laid off some people," Cracas said. "That's a lot of money. We can do our own opinion polls for less." He said if elected, lie would also seek an end to the hard-to-attend meetings. In the past several years, the school board has held several meetings at off-hour times including a widely criticized 7 a.m. meeting. Cracns said it was important for meetings to be more accommodating to the public and not only school board members. "If board members can't make (regularly scheduled) meetings, they should reconsider being on the board," ho said. Cracas has never run or served on a school board, although ho has extensive experience in thu field of education. Ho spent 34 years as a toucher; 20 of lliosc! in Avon Lake including instruction iit Avon Lake High School and what was then junior high school. Cracas, a government teacher, earned several leaching awards. From 1903-1991 he served on Avon Lake City Council. In 2001, Cracas sought to fill the mayoral seat vacated by Vince Urbin, earning 18.55 percent of voles in an eight-way race that saw Rob Berner win with 20:33 percent of the votes.

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

JULY 13,2005 11 Invasion of gypsy moths gains attention of agricultural department AVON LAKE By Lori E, Switaj The infestation of gypsy moth worms on several Avon Lake streets has garnered the attention of the state's agricultural department who will be coming to Hie city this week or next to determine the extent of the problem. Sharon Korney and Sarah Mitchell of Williamsburg Drive said in late Juno, trees along their street were covered with what appeared to bo caterpillars, but were actually gypsy moth worms eating oak trees and the street was covered in the worms' waste. "My (Pin Oak) trees are 50 years old and we don't want to lose our trees," Kornoy said. "They're in all of my trees." Korney said she didn't have a problem last year and had she known what to look for this year, she could have had Uie trees sprayed earlier. And although the moths are heading into the pupa stage, rending a spraying too late for this year, she is beginning to worry nbout next year.

Typically, Burke said, spraying is done when the caterpillars are small, usually in lato May. Spraying now is not an option. "By now the damage has been done," he said. Obvious signs of an infestation, in addilion to the worms, are trees with no leaves or with leaves that have holes in them. The program usually involves spraying of a fairly benign natural enzyme in the pre-dawn hours. The women also contacted Mayor Rob Berncr about the problem, who addressed the issue at the July 11 council meeting. "On June 29 Allen Seaward (with the state) came out to Williamsburg and Brandon drives," Berner said. "He says wo do not have large enough masses to warrant spraying.

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

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

When I moved to Avon, I knew I wanted to be involved, i want to put down my roots here with my family. We love the schools and the parks system." Flanigan likes the direction the city is headed and wants to keep things on the same path. "We're seeing a lot of new merchants and businesses coming into the city and want to see that continue. I'm all for growth, as long as it benefits the residents. The more businesses we bring in, the lower our taxes will be."

JULY 13, 2005 . ^^ ^ ^^ ^ Part I: Ice cream stands: the hot spots to gotor cool treats By Melissa Linebrink Editor's note; This is the first of a two-part senas higli' lighting ice cream stands in our readership area. The PRESS readers will bo able to reminisce about the days whan a gallon of ice crea/n cost loss than an ico crtiam cone costs today. So, sit hack, relax and who knows, maybe after reading this story you iw'// soon find yourself at one of the ice cream stands in your city. "I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM." Ono of the more popular ways to cool off during the dog days of summer is by licking an ico cream cone or slurping down a refreshing milkshake. In Avon, the hot spot is Avon Dairy TVeat located at 37175 Colorado Ave, or as it used to ho called by many, "The Lick." Former Avon resident Deb Weisgerber (nee Riedel) reminisces "When we would get straight A's on our report card, we were treated to a banana split at the Avon Dairy TVeat. If not, we just got a cone." Weisgerber now teaches home economics at Defiance High School. Woisgerber, who formerly resided on Stoney Ridge in Avon, said she and her siblings would often ride the 2.5 to 3 miles to The Lick in the summer because "it was the place to go." . - "It was worth it to ride our bikes there," she said with a laugh during a recent phono interview. Dietmar Waehner's family moved to Avon in 1952 from Germany and lived in a house across the street from Avon Dairy TVeat, He said locals also knew it as "The Whippy Dip." Waehner has not visited Avon for a number of years, but remembers the last time he was in Ohio the building looked the same as it did back in the 1950s. "On Friday and Saturday nights. The Lick was the place you went to hang out after 'crusin' around," he said. ."There was no other place in Avon to go and back then, everyone went there." Waehner, who now resides in Roswell, Ga. with his wife Marlene (nee Syphers) also from Avon, said an ice cream cone used to cost 10 cents for a small and 25 cents for a large, and if a person wanted a sundae with all the toppings, it would cost an extra nickel. .' • "We used to say, 'We want a whole nickel's worth of toppings on a sundae and it would be a lot," Waehner said during a recent phono interview. , Waohner's best friend. Dob Shollon, formerly of Avon who now resides in North Ridgeville, said he remembers ordering chocolate milkshakes at The Lick. Shelton added that he can still visualize many teenagers hanging out in the gravel lot next to the Avon Dairy Treat. "We'd sit on the tailgates and watch the other kids drive by and even the police didn't mind because they knew all of us were in one location," Shelton said. Not only does Shelton have fond memories of Avon Dairy Treat, but so does his wife, Nancy (nee Cough). Nancy worked at the Avon Dairy Treat under the current owners Don and Jean Reynolds for two years, inlQGSand 1969. Nancy remembers training to serve ice cream. "Every cone had to be weighed to make sure we didn't give too much ice cream," she said. And, she remembers the regulars who would make a stop at The Lick nearly every day for their favorite treat." Aloysius Schneider purchased the lot where the Avon Dairy TVeat sits today on Oct. 28,1955. However, the day Aloysius bought the land was not a happy day for the Schneider family. According lo Aloysius' son, Clayton of Avon, his dad bought the land at 3 p.m. and was dead by 6 p.m. .. . _OUR_ STAMP .WHEN YOU INSURE MOKE. YOU SHOULD "My dad died at the age of 57. Ho was getting stressed out with his job and wanted something new for his lire, but he never got to enjoy it," Clayton said. To carry on llielr dad's dream of owning an tee cream stand, Clayton and his mother and siblings took over the business. Clayton and his brothers built the building that is still used today and his mother, Bertlia worked behind the scenes of the stand and his sisters, Virginia and Evelyn were the operators. The Avon Dniry Treat opened in 195G and the Schneider family continued to run the family business until Bertlia passed away in 1960. At that time, another entrepreneur purchased it, but sold it after two years when the Reynolds took ownership. Looking back, Clayton is pleased with the way his family started tlio business and how it has continued to bring families together. "It makes mo happy to know that my brothers and I built a good building," Clayton said. "And, my mother and sisters were good managers and knew how to work and what, they were not sure of, they made up for in their effort. They were a quick study." Today, the Avon Dairy Treat continues to bo popular place to go for ice cream, said its owner Jean Reynolds. "The favorite part about my job is seeing small children enjoy ice cream-lhey love the 'eyes' on the- cones," she said. The downsides of owning an ice cream stand are the long hours and not having a lot of free time in the summer, Reynolds said. North Ridgeville's local "mom and pop" ice cream stand, Dairy Grove on Center Ridge Road, has been in business for nearly 50 years said its current manager, Dora Papagianis. Her husband Nick and his brother, John Papagianis, own Urn business. According to long-time North Ridgeville resident Lois Sullivan, the first owner of Dairy Grovo was Larry Ford, followed by John Waldecki, both of North Ridgeville. Ford has since passed away. However, Waldccki met Ford and bought the business from him and ran it as his own from 1904 lo 1994. "The building was available and I always wanted to own a business," Waldecki said. "My wife, Goldie, and I worked every day along with a couple girls (we hired). We wore hands-on, not behind-the-scene owners." , North Ridgevillo resident Grace Malonc who lias lived in the city since 1940, moved to her current home in 1951 which settles across from Dairy Grove. "Teens would hang out there in die 1950s and 1960s from 11 p.m. to midnight and I did not have air condition, so when my windows were open, I heard all the commotion, but they were not wild teens. Dairy Grove was the only place to go in North Ridgeville (to hang out)," Malone said. Malone said she remembers when Larry Ford made his custard by hand. ' . "Larry only charged 5 cents for a cone and I could only afford one cone for all of my kids, so on Sunday I bought one and all the kids took a lick," Malono said with a laugh as she reminisced about the old days. The Papagianis family took over tlio Dairy Grove ice cream stand 12 years ago, Dora said. "It's a landmark in North Ridgeville," she said. And she is right. Fenik's Frozen Custard on SR 83 is new to Avon Lake. On any given night, passersby on Center Ridge Road can see the lines forming to get a tasty treat. Recently, North Ridgevillo resident David Taylor took his grandchildren there for an afternoon snack. His grandson, Miles Wayne, enjoyed a caramel sundae; his young granddaughter, Jade Josie, preferred pineapple sherbet; and his older granddaughter, Margeaux Wayne's favorite is a dipped ico cream cone. As for David, he takes pleasure iii a simple twist ice cream cone. ; ' ">"I usually bring the grandkids here," Taylor said. Dora said Ford used to sell candy and popsicles when he owned Dairy Grove. Today, Dairy Grove has a number of frozen treats, as well as hamburgers and French fries, among other food items. Dora said Dairy Grove was in North Ridgeville long before Burger King and McDonald's. In Avon Lake, Sally Fenik and her sister. Iris Micochero are the owners of Fenik's Frozen Custard located at G84 Avon Beldcn Road. The custard stand is now to Avon Lake, opening in April of this year. Fenik's Frozen Custard is a family owned and operated business that originally started in Akron. . , "There are two stands owned by the family in the Akron area and the they were looking to bring one to Avon Lake and my husband said Avon Lake needed a ice cream stand, so it worked out," Fonik said. As with many now businesses, Fenik said there have been stressful times, but having family who have gone through opening an ice cream stand before has been help- , ful. "The family was instrumental and we met with them about a dozen times before we opened," Fenik said, adding that while at ihe family ice cream stands they were • able to gain hands-on experience. • . • According lo Fenik, their frozen custard is made from a custard machine and is made fresh about every hour and a half. They also serve hand-dipped ice cream. Decorated in a 1950s theme, Fenik's Frozen Custard, which offers inside seating, has received support from many residents."; hi fact, what seems to intrigue patrons the most is an . 1800 map of Avon hanging on the wall in the ice cream" ' restaurant, Fenik said. "Fenik's Frozen Custard is a place where families can come in and socialize and reminisce about old times," Fenik said.

"I knew the Commons would bring in lots of money to the schools and it was an important project for this city. It's a great place." Round Table members jokingly note they are accepting resumes from establish- ments in town that would like to bo considered as the group's new gathering place. "The first requirement is that they have to have a round table in the restaurant," Harry Duffin said. "Or we'll ask Bill and Lill if we can take this table with us. The second is that they have to serve coffee and let us sit there for three hours." Wearsch was grateful for the many friendships formed at the Round Table. "Just about everyone hero is a 'lias IP PBPRR 13.2005 17 been' in Avon," he said. "The one thing we never talked about was work."

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

My speech lasted for three minutes and 50 seconds, and now I get points taken away! Once again, the world is cruel! I worked hard on that speech, I was stressing out about it for days, and it didn't get completely finished until Tuesday, so I've been multi-tasking with everything. Now we get to Thursday, more homework to do for college. We are going to be giving our persuasive speech next Friday. That is three school days. Also, it's almost seven more hours of training, eating and in fact, cleaning the restaurant. One day, I believe this stressful feeling will leave me. I'm sorry the audience to this column must read something that is utterly non-sarcastic, but right now, the stress is unbearable, which is something I hope the audience will understand. Ever since graduating, the real world has hit me like a punch to the face. Maybe I'm still getting used to the tons of responsibility that has been added on since graduation. I can't hide behind high school anymore, and it's scary. But, maybe I'll read this article in 10 years and laugh, because I was once a kid, starting out and making a path for herself. Maybe, then I'll be able to truly understand that this world is not a cruel one, but one that you must earn. So, I think I'll go outside today, bring a nice glass of diet pop, my favorite book, and sit and enjoy the beautiful day that the Lord has given me.

While I don't often think about it, the thought of my waning dependence on my parents is a little scary, and a little exciting. One day not too far away, I'll be on my own; no parents around to remind me of important things to do, or help me out of trouble. Vacations, when I can afford them, will be entirely my own, conceiyed of and planned myself. The independence is exciting, but there is, of course, added responsibility, which parallels my vacation next week. While I'm excited about my vacation, there's some degree of anxiety about traveling alone. I can't wait.

And why not? You will never find what you want if you do ngt first know vvhat you want! You will also never find your dream home if you insist on living in a dream world. In other words, do not be unrealistic or unwilling to compromise. So as you yiew'homes on the Internet or at open houses, make a list of all the features you wish to have in your new home.. Include everything which you believe "would be essential to making .your move .worthwhile. Now comes the difficult part. Compose a second list of those features which you MUST have in order to ensure that your move will be beneficial. This second list is your "required", features; the original list is your "wish" list. '., We all find that Uie second list of required features is much shorter than the wish list. This is an acceptable beginning to your house hunting because now you know what is required in a home in order to make the move worthwhile and you also have a list of'additional features which will.help you 'decide from the many homes available. These lists will help you decide which home offers Ihc most features you desire for the monies you xvill be spending. Remember that all homes-even newly built ones-require some work by you to make them perfect for you. There is any number of ways to update thai make a dramatic difference when you have found a homo in Ihe right location REAL ' ESTATE' HOTLINE Reported By Ken Kodger at Ihe right price. An open mind and a well thought out list of required and desired features help you make your decision by allowing more possibilities. You will probably not find all the desired criteria in one single home but knowing what features are required allows for easier compromising with the wish list. This can still result in a very satisfying purchase. Negotiation is a normal part of any real estate transaction, especially if you have found a great home a little further out than you planned, or a homo in need of improvements that happens to be located in your perfect neighborhood, or just knowing that sonic of the wish list features can be added later. Real estate agenls well understand that coinmiinilios rely on re vital ization. Buyers willing to improve their property keep towns and cities thriving. Pride of ownership helps homes in these communities gain in value, and helps the owners gain in equity. That is the true potential behind creativity'and compromise, so don't bo afraid to explore it!

I currently .have one more-child than I. anticipated. Not by accident, but nonetheless; it's har.d to say "enough" when you are having a family, and sometimes, you opl out too late rather than too early. It's funny, but I think I.would bo just as happy having done either today. . But as it stands, I have a 0-year-old daughter who continues to grow up with me firmly wrapped around hor' finger. Because she will always be llie baby of our family now, she has go'tton away with more th'an the other kids. I think it's because we are too tired to care what happens anymore; the older kids have worn us to the nub. Maybe she's just outsmarting us. One of my daughter's greatest ' thrills in life is going to the mailbox. Every day, she hopes there's something for hor. Every day, nothing but bills. I used to be able to pawn off old magazines and flyers like they were addressed to her,.but someone taught hor to read and blow thai plan to shreds. A close second is getting one over on the old'man at every chance sho has. This included about two years of "Dad - look - a chimpanzee" in an attempt lo distract me While she OFF THE BEAT By D. M. Wamke Staff Writer ran away to wreak havoc. I have lost hundreds of thumb wrestling matches. Have been moe, never eenie, mcenie, or minic. She wouldn't get away with it if she weren't so dang cute. 1 certainly hope that charm hangs in there, because her scholastic skills are lacking to say the least. My daughter turns 7 today, and every birthday of hers brings a close to another" chapter for the wife and 1. We used to celebrate things like no more diapers and bottles, now we just kind of watch the sand slip by. People always toll you it goes by fast, but it can't be fast enough for me. Her entering the second grade just means 10 more years until retirement for me. Mrs. Doug will probably make us hang in there u n t i l - t h e y graduate college, but I would prefer to have the engine running on my motor ho,me the day after sho leaves for her freshman year. I figure they grow up faster if you aren't giving them any other options. So happy seventh, my litlle boobalali. You make your daddy laugh every day, and [hat's something you can take to the bank often. Maybe for your birthday, you could either clean your room or feed your fish. That sounds' like fun to me. Anything but Chuck E. Cheese sounds like fun to me. You aro getting older, which means maybe I am growing up too, I am glad you came along for the ride. Maybe now you can look in the mailbox and sec something special just for you. • Where Do You Look? >• When your daughter is elected _." >• When your spouse is elected to office?
