After last year’s redis-tricting, many eastsideCincinnati residents couldland in anewOhioHouse ofRepresentatives districtJan. 1.

Ohio’s new 27th HouseDistrict now covers east-ern Hamilton County andincludes the cities of Mil-ford and Loveland (insideHamilton County); the Cin-cinnati neighborhoods ofMt.Lookout,ColumbiaTus-culum, Linwood, East End,East Walnut Hills, WalnutHills,Mt.Washington,Cali-fornia and part of HydePark; the villages of IndianHill, Fairfax, Mariemont,Newtown and TerracePark; and the townships ofAnderson, Symmes andpart of Columbia.

Democrat Nathan Wiss-man is challenging incum-bent Republican PeterStautberg for the seat.Stautberg, of AndersonTownship, currently repre-sents the 34th House Dis-trict and defeated TomBrinkman Jr., of Mt. Look-out, in the primary.

Brinkman held the 34th

District seat before Stautb-erg and was term-limitedout of office in 2008.

Stautberg said he’s run-ning for re-election to “con-tinuemywork inColumbusto make this area, and thestate, a stronger and betterplace to live, work and dobusiness.

Wissman was unable tobe reached for comment.

What are your toppriorities, ifelected?

» Stautberg: “I thinkhelping Ohio continue itseconomic growth and jobcreation is always going tobe on the forefront of mostpeople’s agendas. That re-quires us to keep our focuson minimizing and elimi-nating overly burdensomeregulations whose costsoutweigh the benefits. Inaddition, we need to makesure that the tax structureof the state is fair and aslow as possible so that ourfamilies can keep more oftheirhard-earnedmoney intheir pockets.”

»Wissman: Did not re-

spond.

What do you thinkare the mostimportant issuesfacing thecommunities in the27th District? Whatare your ideas foraddressing thoseissues?

» Stautberg: “We rec-ognize that local govern-ments are facing budget-ary issues, and (we) areworking to collaboratewith theminorder toallevi-ate those. In the past twoyears we have passed anumber of bills along thoselines, including establish-ing the local governmentinnovation fund, whichprovides funds for govern-ments to establish innova-tiveways of delivering ser-vices.We have alsoworkedwith the auditor of state tomake performance auditsmore attractive for localgovernments to use. Goingforward, we will continueto listen and work with lo-cal governments so thatour communities arestrong and vibrant.”

WHERE THEY STANDQ: Should parts of Senate Bill 5, the law – since

repealed – that restricted public worker unions, bereintroduced? If so, what parts?Stautberg:We should always be looking at ways to drive

to solve the fiscal problems faced by our schools and gov-ernments. We need to involve all parties in coming to asolution so that some of the proposals regarding sharingthe burden of health care and pension costs can be consid-ered, while the more objectionable aspects are not.Wissman: SB 5 was a mistake. I believe that the state

should be a tough arbitrator when negotiating with unions.Limiting one side's ability to negotiate completely createsan uneven playing field.Q:What services, if any, should Ohio government

consider adding or cutting?Stautberg:We cannot afford to add any services given

the current budget situation. With respect to cuts, we needto continue to examine all aspects of government and drivecost reduction by eliminating inefficiencies in the delivery ofgovernment services.Wissman: I think that all services should be put on the

tables as far as budget cuts go. There are no sacred cows.We can trim the fat out of bloated agencies and see wheremoney is being wasted and where more is needed. I believethat talking to individual workers in different departmentsand finding out where they see waste everyday is a greatway to get started on cutting unnecessary expenses.

Cincinnati MetropolitanHousing Authority’s new Exec-utiveDirectorGregoryJohnsonhas been making the rounds inthecity tomeetwithcommunitymembers.

Recently, he stopped inLook-out Joe inMt. Lookout square toshare his vision for the agencywith a couple people who camein for coffee and conversation.

Johnson touched on severalpoints, but emphasized the com-munication between the hous-ing authority and the communi-ty is a crucial part of his plan.

It’s important for publichousing tenants toknowthereg-ulations, he said, but also impor-tant for the community to be

aware of thosesame rules forupkeep, noise,nuisance and ahost of other is-sues.

“We want tomake sure (ourunits) are an as-set to the com-

munity and not a deterrent tothe community,” he said. “We’retrying to find common groundbetween our programs and thecommunity and make sure thatcommunication is molded to-gether.”

Mt. Lookout resident Caro-lyn Keil, who also sells real es-tate in the area, said she’s oftenheardrumorsaboutCMHAbuy-ing properties in the area andthatcouldhaveaneffectonapo-

tential sale.“I knowpeoplewhomoved to

the area who think they’re mov-ing away from MetropolitanHousing, and (when they hear)propertieshavebeenpurchasedin Mt. Lookout and Hyde Parkpeople react to that,” she said.

“I personally don’t have aproblem with whoever liveswhere, as long as the property istaken care of and people are re-spectful.”

Johnson said it’s importantfor communities to know thatwhen CMHA buys andmanagesa property residents can callthem if there is a problem or anissue to get it resolved. He alsosaid the need to spread out pub-lic housing among neighbor-hoods is because a new clientbase needs housing assistance.

The Fujitsu has a removablescreen that can be detached froma traditional keyboard. Head ofSchool Robert Macrae said whatsets it apart is its functionality.

Macrea said the device has theconvenience of an iPad with thecomputingpowerofa laptopcom-puter.

“This is the biggest changewe’ve had since introducing the

tablet (at the school) six yearsago,” said Macrae.

The computerswill be used byfifth-graders and a number of theninth-graders at the school. A to-tal of 250 of the computers werebought by parents for their chil-dren to use.

Academic Dean Greg Martinsaid Cincinnati Country DaySchool has aworking relationshipwithsalesanddesign teamsatFu-jitsu. The school has also maderecommendations to the compa-nyon the typesofdevices that areeffective for students.

“It gives us portability, flexi-bility and power,” he said.

Ninth-grader Evie Swensson,of Indian Hill, said she likes thetouch-screen capability of the de-vice and that work can be sharedwith a teacher in real time.

“Being able to take the screenon and off makes it easier to dohomework,” she said.

The Mariemont City SchoolDistrict maintained an excellentrating on the state report cardsreleased Oct. 17.

The school district has beenratedas excellent formore thanadecade, and earned the top rating– excellent with distinction – forthe 2009-2010 school year.

Superintendent Paul Imhoffsaid that while the rating showsstudents and staff are doingwell,Ohio’s report card systemdoesn’tpaint the full picture of qualityfor the community.

“I think it’s a partial measureand it certainly shows our stu-dents are doing well on thosetests administered by the state,but we have a much higher stan-dard,” he said.

“We are beginning an initia-tive within our community tomore fullydefinequality ... and tobe accountable to a standard setby the community.”

Imhoff said district officialsplan to gather community inputthroughout the year for the newstandards to measure quality.They’ll introduce the idea andprocess at the annual State of theSchools address, which begins at7:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, atMariemont Junior High, 3847Southern Ave. in Fairfax.

“We want to make sure we’re

working with our community tofully measure and fully reportquality,” Imhoff said.

Some possibilities for the newstandards include using ACT orSAT scores, surveying graduatesto assess college or career readi-ness and a yearly survey of par-ents and community members tosee if the school district is meet-ing the standards established inthe upcoming input sessions, hesaid.

The district is also part of astatewide initiative to change theway Ohiomeasures quality on itsannual report cards.

Dreams come true for 7 Hills duo at stateHYDE PARK — Qualifying for

the 2012 OHSAA state tennistournament was a dream cometrue for Grace He and JessicaSeibold.

He, a senior, and Seibold, a ju-nior, have dreamed about play-ing on the state’s biggest stagesince their freshmen years.

The two have been friendsever since the pairmet in the fallof 2010 — and their on-courtchemistry grew just as fast.

“Wework reallywell togetherand we really complement eachother really well, and we’ve al-ways got along really well on thetennis court,” Seibold said.

The nature of doubles tennisfits both girls’ personalities, be-cause in a sport thought to be atest of one’s individual efforts,the girls relish being in a teamatmosphere.

“I like the idea of having ateam and having a teammatesupporting you,” He said.“(Some say) it’s not a team sport,but it really is. “

He and Seibold qualified forstate by taking fourth place atthe Division II district tourna-ment Oct. 13.

During the weekend of sec-tionals, Oct. 6, the duo capturedthe tournament title at theLindn-er Family Tennis Center in Ma-son.

Both girls possess a clubbackground and compete in US-TA eventswhen they’re not play-ing for Seven Hills.

Seibold said she started play-ing at age 7. The Madeira resi-dent said she started taking ten-

nis seriously when she was 11.He, who resides in Mason,

picked up a racket in the fourthgrade, and moved her full atten-tion to the sport as a middle-schooler.

The duo entered the seasonbattle tested. As a part of theMi-ami Valley Conference, He andSeibold have consistently facedopponents from other top-ranked teams, such as Summit,CCD and CHCA.

And with every tough matchthe tandem plays, the duo learnssomething that can be helpful in

future matches.“I feel like we learn some-

thing new from every singlematch,” He said.

And although the season end-edwith a first-round exit at stateOct. 19, both girls will remembertheir run to Columbus.

“The season will be remem-bered as one filled with fun,teammates, a great coach andgreat team support,” Seiboldsaid. “It really was a fun season.We had a bunch of talented, nicegirls…”

WALNUT HILLS — Like manyin the Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence as football season approach-es Halloween, Walnut Hills hasbeen a “Jekyll and Hyde” team.

Toconnect thedots, theEaglesstarted theyearwitha28-0 loss toOakHills. The Highlanders werelater shut out by Loveland, whojust lost to Walnut 20-17 Oct. 12.

OutsideofTurpin, theECChasbeen predictably unpredictable.

“I think that’s a testament tothe level of competition in ourleague,” Eagles coach GeorgeKontsis said. “We have greatteams in our league. Week in andweek out you’re going to havesomebody playing somebodyelse. We were picked to lose (toLoveland) in the newspaper, butthat’sOKbecausewehave apret-ty daggone good team. There’s nowalks in our league.”

Evidence supporting Kontsisexists in their losses to Andersonand Kings. Down 40-0 to the Red-skins at the half,WalnutHills ral-lied to within five at 40-35. TheEagles had the ball late with achance for a go-ahead score.

Against Kings, they couldn’tfind theendzonebut theykept theKnights and the league’s bestrunning back, Nick Collado, outof it after a first quarter score.

Against Loveland at home, the

Eaglespulled it all together.Theyraced toa20-3 leadagainsta teamKontsis felt was the best he’dseen on tape all year. Then, theyshowed resiliency in holding offthe Tigers’ comeback.

“We felt we had a really goodteamall along,”Kontsis said. “Wehaven’t played four quarters allseason. We came out slow in acouple games anddid great in thesecondhalf.Wecameout fast andwe let it slide in the second andthird quarter.”

Prior to theLovelandwin,Wal-nut Hills coaches called a meet-

ing Oct. 6. It was one day after adisappointing loss to Glen Este20-3. Both sides spoke. Thensome players broke off on theirown.

“The seniorshadanhourandahalfmeetingallbyourselves,”of-fensive tackle Eric Haas said. “Itwas amazing to come out on Sen-ior Night and win.”

With Haas and the rest of theEagles line clearing the way forquarterback Kevin Blount, thesophomore threw for a score to

Walnut Hills receiver Michael Jones (6), and linemen D'Avon Adkins (57) and Eric Haas (63) await a referee'scall Oct. 12 in the Eagles' 20-17 win over Loveland. SCOTT SPRINGER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

“I play for the seniors,”Blount said.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound10th-grader assumed theWalnut quarterback jobafter a baseball injurykept last season’s starter,Jake Desch, sidelined.

“Kevin Blount is ourguy,” Kontsis said. “He’sour guy this year and thenext two years. Kevin’sonly a sophomore, but he’sgot the ‘X factor.’ The ‘Xfactor’ you can’t coach orteach. Kevin’s got it. He’sour leader on offense.”

He’s also assisted bytwo “scatbacks” in 5-foot-7 TierinWilliams and5-foot-6 Johnathan Avantwho “tote the loaf” on oc-casion.

“They’re outstandingrunning backs,” Blountsaid. “They fight hard. Ican rely on them. I feelsafe with them back thereand the offensive line.”

With Turpin loomingahead in the season finale,it’ll be tough for Walnut

Hills to lock up back-to-back winning seasons.However, fivedaysbeforethe trick-or-treaters hitthe streets, it’s anyone’sguess what might happenwhen the Eagles take thefield under themoonlight.

Eitherway,Kontsishashad a unique and enjoy-able year with his 2012-13

class of players.“It’s a very special sen-

ior group,” Kontsis said.“They’ve had a lot of pres-sure on them since dayone because of the seasonwe had last year. We’vehad a lot of injuries andsome adversity, but I’mreally proud of these sen-iors.”

I am one of two judges whopreside over Hamilton CountyMunicipal Court’s Mental HealthCourt (MHC). Any judge, at-torney or probation officer mayrefer a defendant charged witha misdemeanor to MHC at anytime during the case: at pretrial,trial, sentencing, or even afterthe original judge has placedthem on probation.

Once someone is referred toMHC they are screened by thecourt psychiatric clinic to con-firm that they have an eligiblediagnosis. Next a public defend-er meets with the defendant toexplain the program, and prose-cutors also must agree to a casebeing placed into MHC.

The program is optional, butif the defendant meets the crite-

ria and wants toparticipate, heor she is as-signed to one ofthe twoMHCjudges, pleadsguilty to thecharge, and thejudge sen-tences thedefendant toone year ofintensive pro-

bation. The defendant meets theMHC team comprised of a spe-cialized probation officer, theattorneys, the judge, and em-ployees of Greater CincinnatiBehavioral Health, an agency ofcare managers, counselors,doctors and nurses who provide“wrap around services” for

these defendants, includingreferrals for drug and alcoholaddiction, housing issues, oreven help in organizing theirdays. The individualized pro-grams offer classes rangingfrom behavior modification toart therapy.

Each judge schedules herindividuals about twice a monthfor status reports. Before court,the teammeets in the judge’schambers to update the judge onthe progress or setbacks of eachindividual up for report that day.

As the one in the black robewho has the power to put peoplein jail, I sometimes have the roleof “the enforcer.” It is rare thatanyone will go to jail while in theprogram, but they do have to beaccountable to me. Often I get to

be the one who offers praise andsupport for their efforts. This isa wonderful collaboration be-tween the criminal justice sys-tem and the mental health sys-tem.

For the year that these defen-dants are in our program we canget them stabilized in their men-tal and physical health and intheir housing, and we can con-nect them to people and servicesthat can help themmaintaintheir stability. We are successfulif we can keep our participantscrime free for the year that theyare in the program, and for oneadditional year beyond the pro-gram. Eighty-six percent of ourprogram participants remaincrime-free for the year in theprogram and for the year follow-

ing successful termination fromthe program. This is a far highersuccess rate than the nationalstatistics, and more importantly,after defendants finish theyear’s program, they stay en-gaged with their service provid-ers.

This is a win-win situation:citizens are happy that crime isdown, the defendants feel betterphysically and emotionally, andthese people who really don’tbelong in jail do not take upvaluable jail space. MHC isfunded in part through the Ham-ilton County Mental HealthBoard.

St. Mary School first grade students celebrate "Clifford Day" as part of their reading program. THANKS TOBETH MOCK

Last week’s questionHave you watched and will

you watch the presidential andvice presidential debates? Howwill the debates affect your deci-sions?

“I am watching the debates,but I have alreadymademymindup on who I will vote for. I am cu-rious to see if Obama can debatewithout a teleprompter. In thelast debatehe looked totally lost.”

D.D.

“Yes Ihave, andyes I shall.Mydecision was made years ago todump the socialist poseur presi-dent!”

J.G.

“Yes, I have watched them. Ihave been watching the conductof the president and vice presi-dent since they were installed intheir offices in 2009, so I amquiteaware of why I feel the way I doabout them.

“My mind was made up longago and everything I've seen andheard in the last few months be-cause of the campaign merelyreinforces my views, and thus,the debates will only affirm myopinion.

“Frankly, it surprises me thatanyone who has not been in a co-ma for four years could not havemade up their mind already.”

Bill B.

“I am watching the debates,more out of curiosity than any-thing else. I already voted forRomney, basically because he at

leasthasanoutsidechanceofget-tingusout of thismessourecono-my is in. It is in a hole and it ispretty clear that Obama will justkeep digging, with never-endingspending and more and moredebt.”

T.H.

“I watched the first two, andthey were certainly eye openers!

“Romney was articulate andinformed with the presence tomake an impressive president,something I haven't seen por-trayed until now.

“Joe Biden looked like a luna-tic, laughing at questions aboutIran, Lebanon and a host of othervery serious topics. I'm guessingthat the Jewish population, bothhere and in Israel, don't find anyof it funny. They're under con-stant threat, and most likely nev-er go to bed at peace. And thisman is one step frombeing presi-dent in a crisis?

“Hewas rude, condescending,and should be ashamed of him-self. He wasn't even polite to themoderator, shaking his finger ather and shouting, and interrupt-

ing to the point that she lost con-trol, not to mention making itvery difficult to listen to whatPaul Ryan had to say. It lookedlike a smoke screen to me.

“What was sad was the factthat I watched with the intentionof becoming more informed, andI was assaulted with a presidentwhoseemed tocare less aboutbe-ing there and listening to the an-swers rather than repeating thesame non-relative statementsover and over. Maybe his tele-prompter was missing!”

J.K.

“Yes, I watched the first two. Iwill not watch the rest. I don'tneed too. My decision has beenmade for quite some time and thedebates will not affect my deci-sion. Anyone that is still indeci-sive about how they will votehasn't been paying attention.”

J.S.K.

“I watched the first presiden-tial debate, and I may watch thesecond. Itwon't affect how Ivote.I just watch in incredulous fasci-nation asMitt Romney tries to liehis way to the presidency andpresent a tax plan that is mathe-matically impossible (althoughmaybe using some of the newCayman Island math it couldwork).

“Also, I enjoy watching himplay a sincerely empathetic per-son, especially since if he getselectedhis policieswill help deci-mate the poor, the elderly, veter-ans, students along with teach-ers, police and firemen.

“It is sort of like watching thedevil dress up in a Christian em-pathy costume for Halloween.Entertaining, interesting, yet atthe core, manipulative and evil.”

I.P.

“I've watchedmost of the pre-vious two debates, but eventhough my mind is already madeup I plan to watch the remainingdebates.

R.V.

“I have watched both presi-dential debates and the vicepresidential debate. I can't imag-inenotwatching them. I'mapolit-ical junkie so my interest is veryhigh.

“I think the candidates haverevealed their plans, strengthsand weakness on camera. How-ever, I knewwho Iwould vote forbefore the campaigns even start-ed so the debates have not affect-ed me at all."

E.E.C.

“Havingwatched the first twopresidential debates and also thevice presidential debate I amthoroughly enjoying the butt-kicking that Romney and Ryanare doing.

“I do not think that Obamaknows how to react to someonestanding up to him and they saythat Ryan is too young and un-knowledgeable to handle the pre-sidency if something should hap-pen to Romney.

“My God, what would happenif Uncle Joe had to take over? Hemight laugh us to death by not

taking any problems serious.“I hope that Barack and Joe

have fun standing in the unem-ployment line with the other 23million and picking up a fewbucks from "The View, Dave Let-terman, and Bill Maher.”

D.J.

“I watch all the debates. Can’tsay they have any impact on myvote. I have made my decision along time ago, and nothing haschanged mymind.

AUTHENTIC MEDITERRANEAN & TURKISH CUISINE

The grandkids this yearare excited about Hallow-een. Luke is going to bePac Man, Will is a specialforces soldier, Jack is astormtrooper and Eva is

her favoritebird, a bluemacaw.Little Emer-son, 3months,hasn’t “de-cided” whatshe’ll be butI’m sureMom Court-ney willdress her

for the occasion.I’ve been experiment-

ing with different kinds ofpopcorn balls and amsharing my favorites,along with other fun reci-pes for Halloween.

My favoritedo-ahead crunchyvanillamarshmallowpopcorn balls

Use a natural popcornor one that just containssalt. Out of all my recipes,these are the favorite withboth the kids and adults.They taste like the kind ofgourmet popcorn balls youbuy at the mall. Crunchierthan the recipe for Jell-Opopcorn balls, which is onmy blog, popcorn balls aregood keepers for at least aweek. If you like add somechopped salted nuts, can-dies, etc., do so beforepouring on the coating.

Bring to a boil overmedium heat and stir untilmarshmallows melt:3⁄4 cup light corn syrup1⁄4 cup butter2 teaspoons vanilla22⁄3 cups confectioners’sugar

1 cupmini marshmallowsOrange food coloring(optional)

Set aside:

20 cups popped corn placedin sprayed bowl (I usedthree bags microwavesalted popcorn)

Pour liquid over pop-corn, quickly coatingpopcorn. Spray hands.Form into balls. Storecovered at room temper-ature.

Tips from Rita’s kitch-en

When making anythingthat has a sticky coating,spray everything: thespatula, the bowl, yourhands.

Homemade microwavepopcorn: Put 1⁄4 cup pop-corn in a brown paper bag.Fold top over a few times

and secure. Place foldedside up for 2 to 3 minutesor until there is 5 secondsbetween pops.

Remove unpoppedkernels before makingtreats: Put popped corninto colander and un-popped kernels will sink tothe bottom. That way noone will break a tooth, orworse, by biting intosomething with a hardkernel.

Meat face cheeseball

For the adult party!

Favorite cheese ball recipe,enough to fill mask (checkout my video onmy blogfor a good one)

1 skeleton-like Halloweenface mask

1pound very thinly slicedprosciutto or other delimeat, cut into small pieces

2 slices pimento-stuffedgreen olives

Line mask with plasticwrap. Layer lunch meat allaround. Press cheese ballmixture into mold andmake sure you press firm-ly so that you fill the mold.Refrigerate until firm.Unmold and remove wrap.Place olives in for eyes.Serve with crudités orcrackers.

Easy black catcookies

The kids will have funmaking these. Have themsticking out of a hollowedout pumpkin.

l cup creamy peanut butter1⁄3 cup water2 eggsl box chocolate cakemixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat togetherpeanut butter, water andeggs. Add cake mix andblend. Form into l1⁄2-inchballs and place on cookiesheet. Push in a Popsiclestick. Flatten with bottomof glass dipped in sugar.Pinch two “ears” at top ofcookie. Press fork intodough to form whiskers on

either side of nose. Bakel0-l2 minutes. Removefrom oven and immedi-ately add candy corn eyesand red-hot nose. Makesabout 2-3 dozen.

hot rolls for Linda J., aNorthern Kentucky read-er. “My lunch in the 1960swhen I went there wasusually a hot roll and but-ter. I’ve never tasted an-other hot roll like theirs. Itwas big, round and justthick enough to slice inhalf and butter both sides.

It wasn’t like a biscuit, ithad some texture to it.”

Iron Horse bread pud-

ding and Otto’s tomato pie.Nancy, from Finneytown,says the bread pudding “is

the absolute best” and shewould also like to makeCathy’s tomato pie fromOtto’s. “Truly divine.”

The nation’s housingslump left many homebuilders and developers indire financial straits. As aresult, many homeownersfailed to get things theywere promised in theirsubdivisions. That failureeven extends to the streetsin some areas.

Deb Heimmoved intotheMonte Vista subdivi-sion in Green Townshipeight years ago. She has alandominium in which thehomeowners associationtakes care of the groundsoutside her house. “We paya monthly fee that coversall the mowing, snow re-moval, lawn care, mainte-nance, that type of thing,”Heim said.

While gardening iscovered by a homeownersassociation in a landomini-um, snow removal usuallyis not. That’s normallydone by the city or town-ship. But in this subdivi-sion the roads were notable to be built accordingto code, so they could notbe dedicated and takenover by the township.

“When Ameritek builthere, the road that cameup the hill, it’s not wideenough and the pitch iswrong so it has to be aprivate drive,” Heim said.

In addition, during thedownturn in the economy,the developer sold theproject to another compa-ny before doing the finalstreet paving. The newcompany has yet to put onthe final coating. There arenine vacant lots in thesubdivision and the newdeveloper is promisingonce they are all sold he’ll

have themoney topave thestreets.

Sincethis is aprivatestreet, thedeveloperwas notrequired topost a bond,

so there’s no money thehomeowners can go afterin order to pave the roadsthemselves. Heim saidthat’s led to a decrease inthe home values there.

“I know of a family thatwould like to move andthey don’t even put it upfor sale because they knowuntil the roads are fixedit’s going to be tough,”Heim said.

At this point there areseveral patches on thestreets.

“The homeowners asso-ciation has had to comethrough every year andmake patchwork on theroads just so they can staypassable,” Heim said.

The cost of puttingdown the final coat ofpaving is pegged at around$50,000. The homeownersassociation is now talkingabout a special assess-ment.

If you’re in the marketfor a home, check theroads to make sure youknowwhether or not theyare public or private.
