When Doggies Say “ I Do…..”
If dogs could talk, what would they say on Valentine’s Day?
Some said, “I do,” at the Avon Lake Love-A- Stray fundraiser held at PAWS by the Lake in Avon Lake last weekend.
“I woof you,” was heard over and over as a make-believe minister made doggie dreams come true! Red rose paper confetti was dropped and pet owners were asked to intertwine the leashes of the brides and grooms for eternity. Wedding rings were even exchanged!
There was also a Valentine’s Day kissing booth set up for photos. The cause? Love -A -Stray, the local ani-mal adoption agency that relies on donations to find homes for dogs and cats.

“They have been dating for about a year, so they are very comfortable together ,” re-ported one dog owner as her pet and mate pre-pared to walk down the aisle.
One witnessed observed, “On Valentine’s Day, dogs say ‘I do.’ On other days, they just do-do.”
Another witness said, “It’s a funny world. Lots of men and women nowadays just live together, but here dogs are getting married!” Maybe it’s because the honeymoons are better at Paws By The Lake!
The Hearts & Paws “Pooch Pawty” & Adoption Event took place Sunday, February 5. The Grateful Dog Bakery and D.O.G. Ap-parel teamed up with Love-A-Stray and FIDO’s Companion for this Valentine’s Extravaganza at Paws by the Lake.

by Dr. Louis Malcmacher of The Healthy Smile
It’s winter for all of us here in northeast Ohio. Cold, snow, not enough sun, and just trying to deal with slush and ice has been a real experience for all of us. But, you have to smile knowing that warmer weather is literally around the cor-ner and what you see in front of you will soon give birth to sprouts of flowers, plants, and a beautiful spring.
As many of you know, in addition to our dental prac-tice here in Bay Village, I am also a dental researcher and consultant to many dental materials’ companies. These companies constantly are striving to improve their dental materials, which directly result in improving the quality of dental care to you. You will recognize by name - 3M, Rem-brandt, Sonicare, Crest, and others just like those. These companies are wonderful in that they are willing to dedi-cate time and money to research their materials and tech-niques before they are brought out to the public.
Tried and True…Unfortunately, there
are a number of companies that are willing to develop materials and products and just throw them out into the market place. Some dentists unwittingly will use these inferior materials in patient’s mouth without knowing that they have not been well tested and may in fact fail. This applies to new technology as well. Don’t be impressed, as a dental patient, by what the den-tist may think is the latest and greatest invention to dentistry. Ask and find out what kind of studies have been done on the materials going into your mouth and what is the longevity that you might expect. I have personally seen too many dentists become guinea pigs for the latest inven-
tions in dentistry that may not have been well tested.
In our office, we only use tried and true dental materials and techniques that will provide you with long lasting, life like resto-rations so that you can al-ways have a healthy smile. Whenever we do use the state of the art materials, we know for a fact that they have been well tested and can also withstand the test of time. We always en-courage our patients to ask questions because we know that our best patients are well-informed patients.
If you have any dental concerns or would like a free consultation, feel free to call us at 440-892-1810 today. As always, our goal is to help you develop and maintain a healthy smile
Rather than try to im-press my readers with logic and a coherent update of the equity markets, I’ve decided to summarize the coming year by analyz-ing the ever popular Super Bowl Indicator (SBI). Af-ter all, who needs a market commentary when we can turn to the SBI. For those who do not know, the SBI holds that stocks will rise over the coming year if the winning team can trace its origin back to the old National Football League. Conversely, if the winning team has its roots in the old American Football League, the market will fall. Ap-parently this indicator has about an 80% success rate going back to the advent of the Super Bowl in 1967. So, with the old NFL New York Giants recently crowned
Super Bowl Indicator PlusBy Chip Krueger at Stifel Nicolaus
champs, things may be looking bright for the mar-ket in 2012.
Now an ordinary ana-lyst might stop there, but not this guy. See, I recently read Moneyball (still have not seen the movie though) and I’m feeling like there is more undervalued in-formation that may en-able me to analyze the market. What if looking at the data differently ap-peared to push the success rate of the SBI up to 85% or 90%? Wouldn’t that be in-teresting? While research-ing the subject, I stumbled (and that’s probably the best word to describe them) upon our Cleveland Browns.
By successfully not winning the Super Bowl,

or for that matter, even making an appearance in the Big Game, for the 46th consecutive year, we may have another positive in-dicator. The market has had an up year 75.5% of the time when the Browns do not appear in or win the Super Bowl. (Source: S&P 500) So, by fielding a fairly inept team, again, 46 years running, the Browns, com-bined with the positive SBI, may have given us about a 90% chance of a positive 2012…right? Of course, no one can predict the mar-ket with any certainty, so
I’ll probably do additional research and analysis this year.
(Maybe I should re-mind the Browns that their roots are in the old NFL and a Super Bowl victory may be good for the equity market, even if the end of the world would probably be just around the corner.)

As the college ap-proaches its 50th anniversa-ry in July 2013 it is an ideal time to bring together this diverse group of educated individuals. Tri-C alumni have a profound impact on the economy and growth of Northeast Ohio and reflect the cultural diversity of our region:
• Over 85% of Tri-C graduates continue to work and live in Northeast Ohio.
• Of the 90% of Tri-C graduates from career pro-grams who find employ-ment, 83% are in jobs that relate to their field of study.
• 87% of Tri-C gradu-ates would recommend Tri-C to someone seeking the same kind of program they studied.

Ridge Cleaners Cares About Recycling Ten million fewer hangers will make their way to
landfills this year, thanks to the help of Ridge Cleaners and other participants of the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute’s “DLI Cleaners Care - Hanger Recycling” program. The program began as a U.S. project but has extended to nations abroad.
Ridge Cleaners formerly recycled 500,000 hang-ers each year on its own, but by joining with associat-ed cleaning businesses across the nation the company was able to contribute to a greater goal.
“We’re proud to be part of a program that keeps hangers out of landfills and helps reduce our indus-try’s carbon footprint,” said Lisa Sebastian, owner of Ridge Cleaners. “We want our customers to know that we care about the environment and the future as much as we care about cleaning their garments.”
Ridge Cleaners is working with many other dry-cleaners on the Drycleaning & Laundry Institute’s Hanger Recycling program. The national effort aims to send 10 million fewer hangers to landfills in 2012, and hopes to see that number grow beyond that.
Participating drycleaners will reuse hangers whenever possible and recycle unusable hangers with local steel scrap yards. They will keep track by estimat-ed count and the scrap by weight. Cleaners will report recycling numbers to the Institute for the program’s grand total.

Bay’s Radar Lowrie Bags AvonTalk About Your Eagle Eye...
Bay High basketball fans will talk for years about the buzzer-beater bucket launched by 6-3 se-nior captain Bryan Lowrie to drop the Avon Eagles in West Shore Conference play at Bay Friday night.
Radar Lowrie canned a half-court shot after Bay inbounded the ball with 1.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The three-pointer
launched the Rockets to a 54-51 over Avon. Bay’s bench erupted and Lowrie was assured of his place in Bay basketball lore af-ter leading the team with 19 points. The decision dropped Avon to 7-3 in the league and eliminated the Eagles West Shore Confer-ence title hopes. The big bucket stuffed an Avon comeback which saw the
Eagles climb from an 8 point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Claude Gray had 18 points and Ryan Poyle added 14 for Avon.
Midview, with a 61-49 win over Vermilion, be-came WSC champ this year with a 10-1 league mark, 16-2 overall. Bay is 5-11 in all games.

It was a tale of two teams – one very good and the other great – at Westlake High last week as Midpark’s girls topped the host Lady Demons, 52-21 to claim their third straight Southwestern Conference crown.
Westlake finishes sec-ond again this year despite having a terrific team. The Lady Demons just find themselves in the same conference as truly great squad in Midpark.
The action left Mid-park at 17-1 overall and 13-0 in the league. Westlake went to 17-2 in all games and 11-2 in the SWC – both losses to the Meteors. West-lake has lost 6 straight to the school.
A bad shooting night made things worse for Westlake, going 8-16 from the field.
Now it’s on to sectional play, where Westlake’s very fine girls team has another chance to play their game and test the tournament waters. They are seeded second in the Elyria Catho-lic sectional.
Zane Zeman, Avon High’s ace 145-pound wres-tler, capped the best career in West Shore Conference history by becoming the league’s first-ever four-time champ at the WSC Tourna-ment held last Saturday at Avon High.
Zeman dealt his fourth ace and made it four of a kind with a winning hand by pinning Isaac Payne of Midview.
The team points he gained were also critical to the final team standings as Avon captured the WSC title with 160 markers to edge Midview, coached by Bay High grad Don Cara-mell, with 159.5 points. North Ridgeville was third with 146 points.
Zeman, who placed second at state last year and will wrestle in college at the University of Minnesota, had plenty of help from teammates as the Eagles had four champs overall. Other Avon winners were

The Brecksville High wrestling team made it seven straight titles at the South-western Conference Meet last weekend. The Bees rolled up 222 points and crowned eight champs in taking the title last Satur-day on their home mats.

An open letter to our customers and friends:
Wouldn’t you love to go to sleep at night knowing the home of your dreams would be waiting for you in the
morning? Thanks to Ohio Family Realty’s “Create Your Own Search”, now you can!
Ohio Family Realty launched their new state of the art website – OhioFamilyRealty.com. Voted the Best Real
Estate Website in Ohio, if offers many features to make the home buying process a success; the “Create Your Own
Search” being one of them.
“Create Your Own Search” is an exclusive feature to Ohio Family Realty’s website. Without having to submit
any personal information, such as name, address, or phone number, a person enters their search criteria for
their desired home just one time. After this information is entered, sit back and relax while your home finds you.
You can change your search criteria at any time. Based on the criteria selected, the computer will search for
matching homes for four months.
Traditional real estate websites simply do not offer the same unique search criteria that the “Create Your Own
Search” does. With this custom search, a broad range of criteria can be chosen; from finished basement or garage
size, to first floor master bedroom, brick exterior, or school district. If a house comes up that you do not like,
simply delete it. When you find a home that you like, call Ohio Family Realty to make arrangements to see it.
When you do find your dream home, Ohio Family Realty’s “Lifetime Realtor Program” is another ground-
breaking feature that you cannot pass up! “Through the ‘Lifetime Realtor Program’, after we represent a buyer
on a purchase, we will sell that house without charging a commission – whether they decide to sell in ten months
or ten years. More importantly, if you are struggling to sell your old house, we will not charge you a commission
on that house either,” explains Ohio Family Realty Broker, Mike DeAnna.
There has never been a better time to find the house you have always wanted. Your dream home is waiting! Let
OhioFamilyRealty.com help you begin the search today!
Sincerely,
Michael J. DeAnna, Broker
