BUYERS

• GET PRE-APPROVED - Knowing what you can and cannot spend is extremely important. Even if you believe you have a great credit score and enough income, there are other factors that determine how much you can spend on a home. If you go out looking at homes and find the perfect one for you, it will be disheartening to find out that you aren’t qualified to purchase it.

• HAVE A LITTLE SAVINGS SET ASIDE - Hav-ing a little extra cushion is a good idea when purchas-

SELLERS

• ONE CHANCE TO MAKE FIRST IMPRESSION - You only have one chance to make a first impression. In today’s real estate market, the average buyer doesn’t want to move into a home and then immediately start spending money to do updates and/or repairs. Try to refrain from the “Well, I don’t feel like re-placing that carpet so tell the buyers that I will give them

an allowance.” It may only cost you $600 to replace the carpet but a buyer may think it costs $2,000…..this mistake could end up costing you more in the long run.

Bay Village Dentist

Did you know that your dentist can detect any stress that you may have in your life? No, your dentist does not have to be a physiologist, magician, or a psychic to tell. All we have to do is simply take a look at your teeth. A close look at the wear patterns on your teeth can give us a good indication of how you are handling stress in your life.

Many people deal with stress by clenching their teeth together or by a process called bruxism. Bruxism is not only the clenching motion of bringing the teeth together in an up and down direction, but bruxism is also the side to side grinding motion that many people do when they feel stressed. Good scientific estimates indicate that close to a third of the American population does some type of clenching or grinding their teeth. Dentists can easily see the effects of these pathological conditions by checking and observing the wear patterns on your teeth.

You may have also noticed some of the symptoms of grinding and clenching your teeth. If you have sensitivity to biting and pressure, teeth that crack easily and often, crowns that keep falling out after they have been cemented in, persistent headaches and migraines that never seem to go away, can all be related to this disease called bruxism.

Many people don’t notice that they do this on a daily basis. Many times this only happens when a person is sleep-ing and they have absolutely no idea what is going on until their next visit to the dentist.

This is a slow developing problem. Some people do not take it very seriously. But, I can tell you that after 30 plus years in dental practice and observing patients, this can cause significant damage to a person’s teeth and oral cavity. I have seen cases where the patients have left this

unchecked. A few years later they’ve needed root canals and crowns on teeth that do not even have a cavity on them because the teeth are ground down because of this grinding problem.

An easy solution and the first call to action is to make the patient an appliance to wear during the sleeping hours that will absorb all of the grinding forces. In this way, the teeth are left completely unharmed which can save a lot of difficulty later on in life. It sometimes will relieve head-aches and facial pains, and may help with clicking and cracking in the jaws.

People generally wear this appliance a few nights a week while they sleep and generally see the appliance being worn down immediately. People use these appliances until they have ground them down to a nub and then they will have to be replaced.

If you have any of these symptoms mentioned above or wake up with tired, aching jaws every morning, you are definitely a candidate for this kind of appliance therapy. It is reasonable in cost compared to the cost of having major dental work down the line.

For a free consultation, please call our office at 440-892-1810. We are willing to help you in any way we can. As always, our goal is to help you develop and maintain a healthy smile.

Sally Irwin Price: “An Amazing Creative Spirit”

Vicki Elliott Miller’s Hittyville Crafters was in-spired by Baycrafters... “Sally Price and I are on the front porch steps surrounded by Beat-rix Potter, Grandma Moses, Frida Kahlo, and Tasha Tudor. Sally’s spirit lives on.”

Sally Price painting her elves in prepara-tion for the Rennaissance Fayre held in Bay Village for nearly 30 years.

The City of Avon Lake is taking steps to help control the deer population. As part of this plan, the City of Avon Lake will be conducting a deer culling operation in Walker Road Park on the border of Bay Village and Avon Lake. Since the park is on property co-owned by the City of Bay Village, the City of Bay Village is working in conjunction with the City of Avon Lake on the plan.

The Bay Village Police Department is working closely with the Avon Lake Police Department on the operational plan to ensure the safety of Bay residents.

The actual deer culling operation will occur on week-day evenings, sometime in January or February of 2016. The culling will be done by professionals from the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture hired by City of Avon Lake. The USDA employees will use rifles and operate after sunset us-ing night-vision scopes, silencers and flash suppressors to mitigate any disturbance from the operation. In addition, they must shoot downward from an elevated position and will use ammunition that is frangible, or breaks up on con-tact. Deer will be immediately removed and turned over to a company to be dressed, with the venison donated to food banks. Up to twenty deer may be taken in Walker Road Park over one or more days of operation.

Residents in the area of Walker Road Park were noti-fied by mail last month of the plan. Once it is determined that the culling will occur, the Bay Village Police will knock on the door of any resident whose property immediately abuts the park land.

The City asks that you do not enter into the park area on the day(s) of the culling operation. Law enforcement will be closing the park and restricting access until the op-eration is complete.

Deer Culling in Walker Road Park

Sally Price was an amazing creative spirit. As the longtime di-rector of Baycrafters, Sally brought to the community keynote cre-ations of pure imagination, events like The Renaissance Fayre and the floating of The Fuller House over Lake Erie to create gallery space.

Sally died last week at the age of 84. While her family grieves, the community pauses to pay homage

to Sally and the indelible mark she made by touching artists one at a time. Whether you were a medieval performer at the Fayre, a noted painter like Mary Deutschman, or a child taking Baycrafter classes, Sally offered a portal to joy.

“My Hittyville Crafters was inspired by my many years associ-ated with Baycrafters,” says Vicki Elliott Miller, whose line of min-iatures combine to make an enchanted world where ‘daily living, dolls, and dreams happily live together.’ The sentiment captures the essence of Sally.

“Sally Price was the heart and soul of this art colony and I will forever be grateful for her amazing creative spirit,” adds Vicki.

Sitting within the deep shade of the front porch of the Baycrafter’s Gallery House on a June day, the spar-kling blue waters of Lake Erie in the distance were al-ways an invitation to settle into Sally’s serendipitous world of creation.

Sally was good at dreaming. She was an artist who made magic. “She was truly my artistic mentor and I was devastated to hear of her passing,” says Vicki. “But, Sally will remain with me forever... in Hittyville and my art!”

Many share that sentiment as Sally is recalled with love, a community treasure to be honored forever. So long, Sally. And thank you.


Warm, dry socks are a true gift for a family or individual struggling to survive outdoors. But every dollar you give through the Community West Foundation SocksPLUS initiative can also bring gloves, hats and more to the homeless. The Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Community West Foun-dation have teamed up to remind all that socks are a necessity that can never be tak-en for granted. “When we actually went out into the

field, we found that socks are the most re-quested item,” says Peter Schindler, Pro-gram Director Community West Founda-tion. “But we had to add the PLUS because shoes and boots and sweaters and all the rest that is needed to keep someone warm who is outside.” PLUS is also part of the SocksPLUS year-around program. “We want people to be aware of the homeless. This program is to also raise awareness. There are so many homeless in our communities. In fact, the number of homeless families as well as in-

dividuals has increased,” adds Schindler. The holidays are over, so charitable giving slows even though the needs of the homeless increase through the first quarter of the year. “People have been so generous throughout the year and especially in the giving season,” says CWF’s Linda Spencer. “But January, February and March are the coldest time of the year and that’s when our homeless need the help the most.” So far this year, schools, groups and organizations are stepping up. “People are stepping up. But the need continues

throughout the year,” said Spencer. $10 can buy 10 pair of really good socks or other essentials through the Co-alition, which also handles distribution. So a simple donation of just $10 will make a difference. And a larger donation will buy even more both now and all year around; gloves, hats, backpacks, blankets, boots and more. PLUS, 100 per cent of the funds goes directly to the agencies. Donate online at: www.Community-WestFoundation.org

A special shout-out to everyone who has donated to the Community West Foundation’s SocksPLUS campaign, especially our first-time online donors!Thank you for caring about our neighbors who are most in need.

Maureen KiesnerWe want to give a big thank you to Fairview Park resident Maureen Kiesner for contributing to our SocksPLUS campaign for the home-less.

children remain drug free, the Avon Police Department participates in the Test My Teen program.Think your teen may be “experimenting” with drugs, alcohol or tobacco? It’s best to solve problems before they oc-

cur or get much worse. Unfortunately, “friends” often try harder to make kids who say “no” to drugs, alcohol and tobacco feel like outcasts.

Home testing kits have emerged that protect privacy and provide kids with a socially acceptable excuse, “My parents test me.”

For years, police have been the first to know when local kids used drugs while their parents were often the last to know. Now there is a way to REVERSE that trend!

Avon Police Department recently announced a new alliance with TestMyTeen.com, an organization that has do-nated free home drug test kit vouchers to be shared anonymously with parents who need them.

This drug-prevention program is designed to keep parents in touch with what is really going on with their teens and give teens a way to stop peer pressure dead in its tracks when friends urge them to experiment with drugs and alcohol. The program allows parents to download a voucher for one FREE, home drug-test kit.

Always Accept Your Certified MailQ: What is certified mail?A: When mail is “certified,” that means it requires the recipient to sign his or her name before receiving the mail, so that the sender knows if it has been received, and the date it was received.

Q: What sorts of items are sent by certified mail?A: Courts send out summonses and complaints in various types of lawsuits by certified mail. Also, various government agencies, such as taxing authorities, often send documents this way.

Q: Why is it important to sign the green card that comes with certified mail?A: If you sign the green card and open the envelope, you will know if you have been sued, or if some governmental entity (city, state, or local) thinks there are issues with your taxes. Once you have reviewed the mail, you can decide how to respond, or whether it is necessary to contact an attorney.

Nice try. A Bay Village police officer assisting under a mutual aid request found him near Clemens Rd.

Westlake Senior Citizen Targeted in Swindle

A 77-year-old Creekside Dr. man narrowly missed being swindled on Jan. 12, report Westlake Police.

The man received a call from a foreign-sounding male, “Roger,” who offered him a $200 rebate. The victim then gave the caller remote access to his bank account. The caller then hoodwinked the victim into believing that his account had been drained and that he could get his money back by wiring $4800 to the caller.

The victim tried to wire the money from several locations. Attentive employees would not help him and told him he was being scammed. His bank also reported that he was not out any money, although an attempt was made to access his account.

Man Hides in Ex-Girlfriend’s HouseA Walter Rd. woman’s 43-year-old ex-boyfriend

is not taking their Dec. 26 breakup very well. He has hidden in her house on Jan. 2 (she has since changed the locks) and on Jan. 6 the woman re-ceived numerous text messages, emails, and phone calls (which she did not answer) from him. She is to sign a complaint against him for Telecommunications Harassment.

that credit card account number thieves like the menu selections at the Bedford Applebee’s quite a lot. Illicit charges were rung up there on Dec. 8 and 9 for a total of $177. She reported the dine-on-her-dime on Dec. 31.

Hockey NightA Meadow Ln. couple welcomed the New Year in

at 10:09AM by squabbling over money. The 53-year-old wife went to the inspection arms posture with a broom while the 46-year-old husband assumed the on guard position with a hockey stick. He claims there was no physical violence; she says there was mutual pushing. Prosecutor to rule.

Uber DumpAn unidentified Uber driver did not know what to

do with an intoxicated 26-year-old Market St. woman on Jan. 3 at 1:52AM, so he left her on the sidewalk near her home. She was arrested for DCI after a passing officer found her unable to stand.

Suspect InterceptedA suspect was intercepted in the parking lot by an

employee of a Detroit Rd. store after he left with $104

worth of unpaid-for items. He gave the property back and the employee noted the license plate number of his car.

Not so Lucky ....$3600 in charges were racked up on a Detroit

Rd. business’s bank account from May 2015 through Jan. 2016. Most were from an Internet retailer and a cellphone service provider. The account has been closed and the bank is also investigating.

....2 counterfeit $20 bills were passed at a First St. business on Jan. 9 or 10. They were forwarded to the Secret Service.

Child Endangering Summons A 3yoa Wakefield Ln. boy escaped from his home

on Jan. 11 at 11:39AM. A passing motorist removed him from Bassett Rd. and brought him to a nearby school. The child was wearing only a shirt and pj bot-toms. At 11:48AM his 32-year-old mom came home from running errands, found him missing, and called 911. He had been left in the charge of a teenage sib-ling. Children’s Services was notified and mom will receive a summons for Child Endangering.

Arrests MadeIt has been round up time for theft suspects in

Westlake this week as the Westlake Police Depart-ment reports arrests in robberies.

Two alleged copper thieves – caught on camera last summer at a Crocker Park construction site – turned themselves in on Jan. 12.

Thomas WALSH (49 ) and his wife Michelle WALSH (45), both of Garfield Hts., surrendered on Breaking and Entering warrants stemming from a July, 2015 incident. A number of callers unanimously IDed them as the suspects shown in the CCTV stills that were either broadcast by area media or posted on their websites shortly after the incident.

Thomas WALSH was a construction worker on the American Greetings job site, report police. They stole $2300 worth of copper wire and tools on July 24 around 8PM. The items were taken after the duo broke into an electrical room.

The Trouble with Alcohol

...A 38-year-old Fairview Park man .was arrested for DCI on Jan. 10 at 1:01AM at a Detroit Rd. gas station. His car was found later some distance away at a Dover Center Rd. saloon; how he got from the saloon to the gas station is unknown.

....A 53-year-old Walter Rd. man was arrested for DCI on Jan. 10 at 11:07PM. He had been throw-ing things around the house; he threatened to kill his father and assault the arresting officers. He also struggled against being handcuffed and so a Resist-ing Arrest charge was added.

....An intoxicated 54-year-old Fairview Park man consumed $80 worth of food and drink at a Detroit Rd. restaurant on Jan. 14 at 3:32PM, refused to pay his bill, and walked off. He was found nearby and was arrested for DCI and Petty Theft; he had no money on him.

ing a home for the first time. Little things you will need to purchase that you may not think about will add up over the course of the year…..lawn mowers, snow blowers, trash bins, etc.

• UNDERSTAND YOUR COSTS - Understanding where your money is being spent is wise. Your monthly payment will be split up and will go to taxes, principal, in-terest, and insurance. Understanding this will allow you to better understand what your payments will be at each specific home and if and why they could increase in the future. For example, one home might have a lower price tag on it but the taxes are higher, while one home has taxes that are half as much so you could spend $30,000 more on this home and have the same monthly payment.

• FOCUS ON MAIN NEEDS WHEN SEARCH-ING - There are many factors that buyers have when try-ing to narrow down their home search. Search parameters could include number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, square footage, cities, yard size, finished basement, price, 2 car garage, hardwood flooring, new kitchen, etc. Try not to get bogged down with meeting every single criteria that you have set out to find. You could pass up a great home without even knowing it. It is helpful to focus on NEEDS VS. WANTS.

• CHOOSE A QUALIFIED BUYER’S AGENT - A good agent who works full time can help you with all of the steps above. They can point you in the right direction and assist you with choosing loan officers that are experienced, help you understand what your esti-mated monthly payments would be at each home, find you the new-est listings as soon as they hit the market, and steer you in the right direction once you’ve narrowed it down to the homes you like the best.

• KNOW WHAT IMPROVEMENTS TO DO BE-FORE LISTING - There is a fine line to walk when decid-ing what projects to tackle before putting your home on the market. Make sure you fix/upgrade the items that will as-sist you in the best possible way. For example, don’t spend $7,500 on a bathroom remodel when you can get the same end result while spending $2,500. Speak to your agent about which projects and repairs will help you increase your profit and/or get the home sold.

• PRICE IT RIGHT - You’ve got to price your home right! With the real estate crash just recently behind us, buyers are cautious and smart when it comes to negotiat-ing. We aren’t saying that all the buyers are trying to “low-ball” sellers, but they are making sure they are buying their homes at or below market value. If you’re too high on your listing price the potential buyers will either not write an of-fer or possibly skip touring your home all together.

• TAKE MEMORIES WITH YOU - While it may be very difficult, try to think of your house being on the real estate market just like a product being on the shelf at a re-tail store. Your home is worth today’s market value…try not to think about what it was worth 7 or 8 years ago. You have to compare it to the most recent sales and the current houses that are active on the market. That being said, you still have a lot of special moments and memories in your house over the years. Remember….nobody can ever take those great moments and memories away from you. They may be able to change the house around or even build a

new one if they’d like, but you can always take your memories with you.

• HIRE A QUALIFIED REAL ESTATE AGENT - Having an agent help you from the start of the selling process is extremely impor-tant. They will be able to tell you what your options are before put-ting the home on the market, tell you where to spend your money on improvements and where not to, and give you the most accurate pricing information.

Community West Foundation launched their SocksPLUSSM Initiative to help collect Socks PLUS other essential items needed by the homeless. And, for thousands of Cleveland’s homeless men, women and children, socks are a gift that’s never taken for granted. In fact, they are the item most requested by anyone living outside.

The needs of the poor and homeless are con-stant throughout the year. During the fall and harsh winter months, socks, gloves, hats, boots and warm clothing protect them from frostbite and hypothermia. In the spring, it’s important to have water-resistant blankets and clothing to stay dry. In the summer, backpacks, bottled water, insect repellent and toilet-ries are in high demand.

Community West Foundation places the health and well being of our community above all else and they hope you will join their efforts to help the least among us. They encourage you to contribute in your own way by sharing your time, support, ideas, and SOCKS.

Physical Donations to Accept: New socks, blankets, coats, RTA one-day bus tickets, toiletries, hand sanitizer, water bottles, towels/hand wash cloths and tissues, backpacks, gym bags and tents.

What the Money You Raise Will Do: $10 will supply 10 pairs of Socks • $30 will supply 10 pairs of Socks PLUS gloves and a hat. • $40 will supply 10 pairs of Socks PLUS gloves, a hat and shoes. • $60 will supply 10 pairs of Socks PLUS gloves, a hat, shoes and heavy-duty winter boots. • $100 will supply a backpack filled with 10 pairs of Socks PLUS gloves, a hat, shoes and heavy-duty winter boots.

Here are some ideas and way you can sup-

port SocksPLUSSM

• Plan a Crazy Sock Day at School or the Of-fice. Wear crazy, colorful, even mismatched socks to school or to the office and donate one pair of socks to

the SocksPLUSSM campaign. Students make sure to coordinate with your school principals before launch-ing. Post your event success to the Community West Foundation Facebook page and let the community know about your amazing work. We want to see pic-tures!

• Hold a Sock Hop. It’s time for a good old fash-ioned sock hop event in the school gym, auditorium or other public place. The price of admission is a pair of socks. (Cash donations also accepted.) Team up with your friends and play some great music, dance and have fun. Let’s gather some socks for Sock-sPLUSSM!

• Have a Run/Walk for the Homeless. Runners and Walkers can support SocksPLUSSM by register-ing for a run or walk. Collect donations for each mile. Gather your friends and family members to help raise funds for SocksPLUSSM. Share your stories!

If you are a school, church or organization look-

ing to conduct a donation drive or fundraiser for SocksPLUSSM, contact Community West Foun-dation, phone 216-476-7060.

• Plan Your Theme. Why not plan a Sock Hop, a Run or Walk-a-thon or something com-pletely original!

• Promote Your Event. Put up post-ers and brochures. Call Community West and they can help advertise in local papers, radio, television ad/coverage, social media.

• Put Your Socks

On. Help us create awareness and raise funds for our homeless neighbors. Take selfies and place them on Facebook. Share with your friends.

• Call Community West to coordinate socks pick-up with the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.

• Share your story of support for SocksPLUSSM. Help us spread the word through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn!

• Send donations to the Community West Foun-dation, 20545 Center Ridge Road, Suite 448, Cleve-land, OH 44116 with your name and address so that they can say thank you. You can even donate through PayPal on the CommunityWestFoundation.org website.
