Sharonville is considering azoning change that could allowan apartment complex to ex-pand into property at the edgeof Princeton school district’sadministrative campus.

The city’s planning commis-sion has approved a resolutionrecommending the zoningchange that would allow the de-velopment on 17.5 acres thatfronts on the north side of

Hauck Road.Building, Planning and Zon-

ing Director Richard Osgoodsupported the change.

“Based on the relatively lowdensityof theproposal,andper-centage of multi-family resi-dential in the city, compared tosingle family residential, andbased on the comprehensiveplan recommendation for thatmix, and the traffic studies andother items, Planning Conm-mittee did approve the resolu-tion to recommend the zone

change,” Osgood said.Anne McBride, of McBride

Dale Clarion, a communityplanning consulting firm,spoke on behalf of RookwoodProperties, which owns ThePines.

“Rookwood Properties hasobtained an option to purchase17.5 acres of property from thePrinceton School Board,”McBride said during the publichearing.

She described the plan for140 residents in two-or-threebedroom units. The expansionwould include 288 parkingspaces, with 140 of those in ga-

rages, according to zoning reg-ulations.

“Access to the developmentwill be from Hauck Road,”McBride said. “This will tivetwo other points to connect tothe development, to allow newresidents access to amenitiessuch as the clubhouse andpool.”

It also will allow better cir-culation in case of emergency,she said.

DonTrautmann,whoseShar-onville property abuts greenspace owned by the school dis-trict, said that while he had op-posed a previous bid to build on

a larger parcel of the propertynear the former RELIS build-ing, he supports this project.

“Partial development mightbe the solution,” Trautmannsaid. “It keeps Princeton happyand it keeps the people of Shar-onvillewho love and rememberRELIS happy.”

Princeton SuperintendentGaryPack assuredmembers ofcouncil, and Trautmann, thatthe school district would keepthe remaining52acres intact asnatural habitat.

The property includes an In-dian burial mound, trails and anature center.

Grants will save For-est Park a lot ofmoney asthe city continues workon its streetscape pro-jects.

The city has been re-designing streetscapesat its three major gate-ways and commercialcorridors – Winton Road,Waycross Road and

NorthlandBoulevard.The finalphase,NorthlandBoulevard,will becompletedwith twogrants thatslash the

cost to the city.City Manager Ray

Hodges says the street-scape plans includeslandscaping, planting,trees, signsandthepossi-bilty of upgraded street-lights, and items such asbenches and trash cans,is part of the city’s rede-velopment plan.

Architectural firm

CDSAssociatesdesignedthe streetscapes plans.

The Winton Road partof the streetscapes pro-ject, which extends fromSmiley Avenue to Kem-per Road, does not yethave cost estimates andwill be funded by tax in-crement financing dis-tricts for the Wal-Martdevelopment and thePromenade ShoppingCenter. TIF districts di-vert the taxes on the im-provements to property

in the district to a specialfund to pay for infra-structure and capital im-provements in theareaofthe district.

The city will get esti-mates for work on thisarea later this year.

TheWaycrossproject,which extends fromHamilton Road to MillRoad, cost the city about$1.7 million and was paidfor in part from moneyavailable through theCarillon business park

TIFdistrict.Hodges saysthe city is in the processof putting the finishingtouches on the Waycrossphase and is looking forfeedback to shape theother projects, as well.

“We could make mod-ifications based on whatwe hear back from resi-dents on Waycross,”Hodges said. “Wewant tohear what they think.”

The city’s taking a dif-ferent tack to pay for thefinal phase. Forest Parkhas received two federalgrants that will cover 80percent of the Northlandproject’s $1.88 millionconstruction costs. Thisprojectwill run along theboulevard from stateRoute 4 to WaycrossRoad.

The two Northlandgrants total $1.5 million.Hodges said that normal-ly bidding, constructionmanagement and inspec-tion of the project wouldbe run through the OhioDepartment ofTranspor-tation.

But Hodges said man-aging this program local-ly will allow the city tocombine the two grantsinto a single project. Socouncil voted 7-0 to ap-proveaLocal-LetProject

Agreement Feb. 18,which is a contract be-tween Forest Park andODOTtomanagethepro-ject according to ODOTsrules and regulations.

Hodges said he ex-pects to the project willbe ready to begin in thefall of 2014 for comple-tion in 2015. It will be thefinal phase of the street-scapes project.

Chris Anderson, di-rector of community de-velopment for the city,said streetscape im-provements aregreat forthe community becausethey pay off. He said itbuilds community pride.

He added that poten-tial new businesses alsonotice when a communi-ty has paid attention toamenities such as howmain commercial corri-dors look.

And, he said, the pub-lic improvements can in-spire businesses to up-date andupgrade aswell.

“Wehavealreadyseenthis on Waycross,” hesaid. “Libby’s GourmetDesserts, a business thathasalwaysbeen involvedin the city, decided to re-place its sign. A buildingthat had been vacant forsome time is occupied. ”

Grants help Northland streetscape continue

Spring will see the streetcape along Waycross Road bloomwith color as plantings flower and banners are hung onsome of the newmedian streetlights that line the areanear Carillion business park area.JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Claude L. Dallas Jr’s.soft-spoken manner be-lies the incredible gritthat spurred him to suc-ceed.

He has pub-lished a wonder-ful book of poetryand prose, repletewith family histo-ry, Biblical in-spiration, hom-ages to his ances-tors, in-laws andwife and muchmore.

Claude and hiswife live in Woo-dlawn. “A Legacy inPoems-Bridging theGap” is for their childrenand all future Dallasprogeny. The book is aworld view of religionand humanity. Familystories influenced him tobecome the family histo-rian, determined to pro-vide threads of identityand purpose for his ninegrandchildren.

Claude was born theyoungest child and onlyson of Claude Sr. andIrene Malone Dallas,who were married for 60years.

With remarkable pre-science, Claude trans-ferred from Lincoln

Heights High School toHughes High School forone year to see if hecould succeed in a largersetting. His wings tested

and not foundwanting, Claudereturned to gradu-ate from LincolnHeights and enterOhio State as apre-med studentmajoring in zool-ogy.

In his freshmanyear he met thelove of his life,Sheilah Ferebee,

to whom he dedicatedthe poem “She Walks AsMy Queen.”

During his sophomoreyear he joined the ROTCand graduated in 1968proudly receiving hisdiploma wearing his 2ndlieutenant’s uniform.With an eye toward mar-riage and a master’sdegree, he immediatelyenrolled in UC and mar-ried Sheilah in June 1969.She taught at LincolnHeights ElementarySchool with some whohad shaped her hus-band’s life.

After instructing Be-thany second-graders for13 years, Sheilah Dallas

now teaches problemsolving, and ChristianEducation there. Withhelp from the secondgrade class, she recentlypresented the homily atchapel service, recount-ing her participation inthe 1963 Freedom Marchin her hometown, Wash-ington, D.C.

Claude graduated UCin 1970 with a master’sdegree in cellular biolo-gy. A week later his el-dest daughter was born.Then came Fort Gordon,Georgia and a stint asbattalion communica-tions officer with the

82nd Airborne at FortBragg, N.C. In 1989 hegraduated with a mas-ter’s degree in religionfrom Liberty Seminaryin Lynchburg, VA.

Adulthood more thanmade up for never hav-ing traveled as a child.

Like Ruth in the Bible,Sheilah committed togoing wherever his lifepath led them, whetherto Los Angeles, Louisianaor beyond. When theymoved to Fairfield, heserved at Israel BaptistChurch in Hamilton asminister of ChristianEducation. There heformed a day care whileSheilah served as direc-tor of the Agapelandpre-school program.They made mission tripsto Haiti, Kenya, MexicoCity, Ethiopia and Jamai-ca.

Each of his children iswell acquainted with “thelook,” that many of usremember. “The look”meant don’t even thinkabout creating mischief.He plans to write a bookfor his grandchildren toreinforce the old values.

Claude wrote the po-

em “I Am a Bridge” be-cause his life seems to bea bridge for God to af-fect his purpose as ahusband, son, father andgrandfather. Speaking atBethany, he recited thepoem to grades fivethrough eight, tellingstudents that each is astar, that God createdthem to be special, andthat all humans deserverespect and love.

You will be delightedto meet Claude at hisSunday, March 17, book-ing signing, 4 p.m. to 6p.m. at Like Sunday Sa-lon and Spa, 8410 Read-ing Road.

It was just a year ago,but it was like steppinginto the 1950s.

Cliff Goosmann took atrip to Havana, Cuba,where he photographed acity that appeared to bestuck in time, with carmodels of 60 years past,and buildings that hadn’tbeen updated in manyyears.

He also saw beauty inthat snapshot in time, andhe captured it in photos.

The Montgomery resi-dent will display his col-lection during a photopresentation March 15 atSharon Woods.

It’s the third of eightpresentations by localphotographersof thePho-tography Club of GreaterCincinnati.

Goosmann’s trip waspart of a People to Peoplecultural exchange in Feb-ruary2012, inwhichsmallgroups of seven were led

by Cuban guides.Goosmann’s group

toured with a local pho-tographer.

“The emphasis was onmeeting and photograph-ing Cuban people as theywent about their every-day life,” he said.

Among the group’sdestinationswere a furni-ture factory, danceschool, and the formerHershey’s sugar factory,which is now used as anelectric train repair cen-ter.

“This really is a verypoor country, frozen intime,” Goosmann said,“and isolated from therest of the world.”

He photographed oldHavana, near the ParqueCentral Hotel, where hestayed during his visit.

“There is still beautyhidden in the decay,”Goosmann said, “and thepeople are very friendly.”

DAYTON — Summit CountryDay senior and University ofCincinnati commit Kevin John-son of Westwood walked intothe media room following theSilver Knights’ 63-49 win overWest Liberty-Salem in the Divi-sion III district finals sporting achampionship belt (thinkWWE).

The 14-point victory at UDArena March 7 made one thingclear: Summit is still the cham-pion.

Silver Knights’ head coachMichael Bradley bought thebelt to let his team know thatSummit is still the team to beat.

“I wanted the kids to get intheir mind frame that we’re thechamps...People have to comethrough Summit if you want tobe the champion. It’s an old RicFlair quote, ‘If you want to bethe man you got to beat theman,’” Bradley said.

For Johnson, the belt sym-bolizes the ultimate goal: A sec-ond-consecutive state title:

“We just hold the title. Wedon’t plan on losing any games.We plan on repeating it,” John-son said; “ (The belt) really to

give our team swagger and thatarrogance we fell gives us thatoomph on the court.”

Being the reigning statechamp, Summit is the team atthe top of the mountain the op-position is trying to take down,

and Bradley believes the belthelps his squad stay loose as itfights through the tournament.

“I think it relaxes them a lit-tle bit, but it also puts the atti-tude in them that once we getoff the bus that nobody is goingto take this from us,” he said.

Bradley said when he playedin the NBA, he saw the DetroitPistons use the tactic, after BenWallace, Rasheed Wallace andChaunceyBillupswon the 2003-2004 title.

Back in the stateSweet16 forthe third-consecutive year,Summit is livingup to thepoten-tial many predicted. The SilverKnights went wire-to-wire byholding the No. 1 spot in thestate Associated Press poll allseason long.

Bradley credited Johnsonand Woods, along with experi-enced varsity veterans MikeBarwick (Forest Park) and JakeRawlings (Loveland), for help-ing the program get to a pointwhere it’s expected to contendfor a state championship.

“It’s changed each yearwe’ve been here,” Bradley said.“The first year I was here, weweren’t expected to win roadgames, now we’re almost goingundefeated in the regular sea-son and people are expectingyou to win a championshipagain.”

WYOMING—OnDec. 21, 2012,the Wyoming High School boysbasketball team surpassed itsprevious season’s win total.

Naturally, surpassing twowins is no reason for a parade,but itwas a signof the resurrec-tion of the Cowboys’ program.Thanks to youth and injury,Wyoming was just 2-18 a yearago.

The 2012-13 squad finished arespectable 13-11 under newcoachMatt Rooks.

Their final loss was 55-48 toHughes on Feb. 26. Junior Ah-madFrost pacedWyomingwith17 points, while senior BenKurtzhad12 inhis final prepap-pearance, as did junior MarkAkinbi. In the final minute, theCowboys were within a bucket.

“Wehada lotofopportunitiesin the fourthquarterbutwe justlet it slipaway,”Rookssaid. “Af-ter the game I was so proud ofmy guys. I think it’s a huge stepfor our program to build on, es-pecially with a lot of my guyscoming back.”

The upside of the season isthe introduction of a new press-ing defense designed to wearopponents out and the return offour starters.

OnlyKurtz andDawsonRog-ers leave, so starters Frost,Akinbi, Will Marty and MasonRogers are back. Frost, Akinbiand Marty are not a law firm,but will be seniors. Mason Rog-ers will be a sophomore andHudson Rogers will be a junior.

Forward Walker Lewis alsoreturns as a junior and JoelWeiss, Ian Toerner, Nolan Prev-ish, Chris Bucher and GriffinO’Garawill allbeseniors.The6-foot-5 O’Gara missed this sea-son due to injury.

“Hopefully next year wehave a shot to be pretty good,”Rooks said. “I like where we’regoing. I’mverypleasedwith thefirst year.”

The Cowboys hung their haton defense all season and Rookwas pleased to hold a high-scor-ing team such asHughes to just55points.OutsideofCHLcham-pion Madeira, no team scoredmore than 60 points on Wyo-ming.

“We got so much better withour defense,” Rooks said. “Bythe end of the year, I though wewere a really good defensiveteam. That’s the mentalitywe’re going to to work on;guarding people.”

Many of the Cowboys aremulti-sport athletes because aschool the size of Wyomingneeds to share talent. However,juniors Ahmad Frost and MarkAkinbi are “basketball only”andwill be in the gym frequent-ly between now and next fall.

By then, Rooks and fellowformer Moeller Crusader Bub-ba Walther (now Wyoming as-sistant) should have all of theCowboys worked into a latherwith their in-your-face ap-proach to defense. Tim Ed-monds, who once coachedRookshimself atMoeller, is alsoon staff. He adds varsity headcoaching experience from Tur-pin and CHCA.

“With the foundation thisyear, we hope to build on it nextyear,”Rooks said. “We justhaveto keep working and guardingand that’s our main focus.”

SHARONVILLE - — Jill Phil-lips is tired of people knockingher team for losing in the Divi-sion I regional semifinals thepast four seasons.

She would like to see herteam recognized for their ac-complishments and for peopleto realize her Lady Vikingshave lost to some talentedteams each year.

“I think it’s a great compli-ment to our kids and showsthey are playing hard and notlosing to teams we’re not sup-posed to lose to,” Phillips said.“…Ifeel likeeveryyearevery-body wants to take a negativestance and I think my kids de-serve better than that.”

In2010 theLadyVikings lostto Kettering Fairmont, whowas the top-seeded team in theregion and followed that up

witha loss to22-2Springboro in2011. Fairmont - who wasranked 10th in the Division IAssociated Press statewidepoll at the time - got themagainin 2012. The AP No. 3-rankedCentervilleElkseliminated theLadyVikes this time around.

Junior Kelsey Mitchell putup a game-high 28 points in the71-61 loss March 6 at WrightStatewhile fellow juniorCarliePogue posted a double-doublewith 11points and10 rebounds,but it was the Elks’ shootingdown the stretch that hurt theVikings.

“We ran into a really goodCenterville team,” Phillipssaid. “We didn’t shoot the ballreally well in the second halfand theydid.Youhave togivealot of credit to themformakingsome big shots.”

Pogue really provided a bigpunch for Phillips’ squad downthe stretch and during the reg-ular season in which Mitchellmissed 15 games due to an an-kle injury. The junior centerposted double-doubles in five

of the Lady Vikings’ final sixgames.

“Carlie had a tremendousseason for us,” her coach said.“… I think she was probably,besides Kelsey, the most con-sistent player for us (as far aspoints and rebounds go) everygame.”

Withall the success over thepast four seasons, Phillipsachieved a first in her careerthis season. She placed fourgirls on the All-Greater MiamiConference first or secondteam. Pogue andMitchell werefirst-teamers, while ChelseaMitchell and the Vikings’ lonesenior Emily Roper werenamed second-team.

As Roper heads off to ElonUniversity with a softballscholarship, the Lady Vikingsreturn a squad that will look toget over the hump next seasontomakearunatastatechampi-onship.

“I thinkwe’llbea lot likethisyear,” Phillips said. “After thisgroup has lost three years in arow, theywill be hungry.”

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

DAYTON — It’s been about ayear, but Roger Bacon juniorforward Carlas Jackson stillremembers what it was like tolose to SummitCountryDay inlast season’s Division III re-gional final.

The Spartans lost the gameby 10 and Summit went on towin the state title.

“We’re still hurt from lastyear and none of us want thatto happen again,” Jacksonsaid.

With the Spartans’ 75-50victory over Madeira at UDArena March 7, Roger Baconpunched its ticket for the re-match area hoop fans havebeen clamoring to watch.

Summit (24-1) has spent theseasonrankedNo.1in thestateAssociated Press poll, whileRoger Bacon (23-3) was No. 7in the final listing.

With a berth in the state fi-nal three wins away, Jacksonand company have kept theireyes on the prize.

“It’s satisfying (being in theregional semifinals), butwe’renot at our goal yet,” he said.We’ve got to keep working toget to state.”

Spartans’ coach Brian Nealsaid being among the final 16teams left standing is reward-ing.

“I’ve got to give credit toourguys,” he said. “Theyworkso dag-gone hard. They de-serve to be at this point.”

Like Jackson, Neal is hope-ful the Spartans can reverselast year’s outcome.

“We’re going to do what wedo.Wefeel likewe’vegot someguys who are tough to matchupwith…wefeel likewe’vegot

a system that is tried and trueand it’s worked for us,” Nealsaid. “We’re going to have tohope we have our best defen-sive effort of the year andwe’re going to have to hopethey miss some shots becausethey are great players.”

Against Madeira, Jacksonscored a game-high 27 pointsand was 5-of-8 from three-point territory. For the year,Jackson’s averaged around 15points per game.

Senior Erik Edwardsscored 20 points and led theteamwith eight rebounds.

“Erik is playing as good ashe’s ever played and I pray itcontinues,” Neal said of theSilverton resident.

Austin Frentsos chipped in10 points and five assists,while Jake Westerfeld cameup with four steals on the de-fensive end.

DAYTON — His name wasMaverick Morgan, 6-foot-10center from Springsboro.

His teamwasMoeller’soppo-nent in aDivision I district finalat the University of DaytonMarch 9. The Crusaders staffhad him scouted precisely, justas they do most of their foes.

In the Greater CatholicLeague, schools prepare to winevery step and every second.

However, in March the onlystat that matters is the finalscore and often the thirdmonthof the year is the cruelest forthosewhobounceaball compet-itively.

An early deficit of 14-4 in thefirst quarter and 30-16 at thehalfwastoomuchforMoeller toovercome as Springboro heldoff the Crusaders’ mad second-half dash to win 57-56.

“Give their kids and theircoach credit,” longtimeMoellercoach Carl Kremer said. “Theyreally had a great game plan.They got up on us.”

Kremer recalled a Decem-ber game in Florida whereMoeller dug such a hole, butthere had been no previous oc-currence in Ohio.

Morgan had nine points inthe first half and nine more inthe second to lead the Pantherswith 18. He also pulled down 11rebounds. Springboro outre-bounded Moeller 32-26 and out-shot them 49 to 40 percent.

The biggest difference wasat the charity stripe whereSpringborowas24-32,getting to

the line 15 more times than theCrusaders.

“We had to make the gameugly to get back in it,” Kremersaid. “We were able to get backinto it, but I give credit toSpringboro. They won thisgame. We did enough to getback into it. They made everyfree throw they had to down thestretch.”

Sophomore Nate Fowler ledMoeller in scoring with 14points, while senior Keith Wat-kins and fellow senior Josh Da-venport had 12 and 11, respec-tively, in their final games.

Despite not starting and be-ing hampered early in the sea-son from a football injury, Wat-kins ledMoeller’s resurgence inthe second half.

“I thought Keith Watkinswilled us back in the game,”Kremer said. “They made thefree throws and plays they hadto do to win.”

Moeller finishes the seasonat 22-3, while Springboro goesto 22-4. Instead of a Crusaders’clash with Walnut Hills at Cin-tas Center March 13, the Pan-therswill drivesouth toplay theEagles.

Even with the tough loss,Kremer was thankful for thetime spent with his seniors whohave seen many tournamentgames.

Now, Kremer and companyrefuels, reenergizes and reor-ganizes for another run. Start-ers Tre’ Hawkins, Grant Benz-inger and Nate Fowler return .

A publication of

March 6 questionState Rep. Ron Maag has pro-

posed raising Ohio’s interstatespeed limit to 70 mph. Is this agood idea?Why or why not?

“The legislature shouldraise the limit if and only if itassures lawenforcement agen-cies have the staffing and com-mitment to enforce the lawstrictly (as Arlington Heightshas done). Otherwise, inter-state speed limits are just abuffer around how fast illegaldrivers are willing to speed – a'suggestion' if you will. Ourfreeways are like Reed Hart-man Highway: drivers cruiseat 50mph ormore, but in yearsI have yet to seeBlueAsh's fin-est pursue anyone for illegalspeed on that road.”

D.P.

“Yes, absolutely! It is abouttime thatOhiomatches upwithall surrounding states.

“I'm sure there will be someremaining sections of highwaythat will need to stay at lowerlimits, which is fine. However,the vast majority of our inter-state highway system is morethan capable of handling high-er speeds.

“In addition, automobiletechnology such as suspensionand braking systems are farbetter today than years agowhen the 65 limit was estab-lished. Speed it up, Ohio!”

R.W.J.

“Neighboring states have 70mph speed limits and I haven'theard complaints or concernfrom law enforcement.

“I've traveled through Ken-tucky, Tennessee, Michigan,Missouri, Alabama, etc., with-outnoticinganyproblems.Plus

70 seems to be the averagespeed on I-275 during rushhour.”

R.V.

“I do favor raising the speedlimit.Other stateshavedone sowithout a major increase intraffic accidents, and our carsare safer, better engineeredthan they were 25 years agowhen the limit in Ohio washigher.

“We are more endangeredby all the cars and trucks pass-ing thevehicles that are actual-ly going 65mph. Iwould ratherhave a higher speed limit thatis enforced than a low one thatis widely ignored by both driv-ers and law enforcement agen-cies."

J.R.B.

“Is Rep. RonMaag's propos-al to raise Ohio's interstatespeed limit to 70 a good idea?Truthfully, no one can predictwith accuracy if the simple ad-ditionof5mphto thespeed lim-it will result in a significant in-crease in accidents, injuries,and fatalities.

“The difference in speedlimits from state to state dem-onstrates clearly the arbitrari-ness of such laws, which havebeen imposed for a number ofreasons, including the conser-vation of fuel.

“Back in 1757 in Boston, thespeed limit was defined as'walking pace,' and violatorswere given a stiff fine. Therewas a time in the United States(from 1974 to 1987) when thenational speed limit was 55mph. (In 1995, that legislationwas totally repealed).

“I remember being a littleapprehensive when the limitwas raised to 65 mph, but I'verelaxed since then. However, Iam still troubled by the driverson the interstate who pass me,when I'm doing 65, at a clearlymuch higher rate of speed.

“It's a tough law to enforceuniversally and uniformly, andto be honest I'd like to see it en-forced a little better (except inthose places known as 'speedtraps.') Bottom line is that Ohiowould not be the only state tohave a speed limit higher than65, and I don't see a problemwith it.

“I'll have to do some furtherstudy to find out what Maag'smotivation for introducing thislegislation was.”

Bill B.

“Several studies haveshown that high vehicle speedon highways, such as 70 mph,increases traffic accidents anddeaths dramatically. It sort ofis a no brainer, that speed kills.

“Studies have also shownthat traveling at any speedover 60 mph vastly increasesfuel consumption, often at 25percent or more. Given the cli-mateofhighgasprices,numer-

ous texters and those using cellphones while they drive, plusthe importance of trying towean the United States off offoreign oil, raising the speedlimit to 70mph is an awful idea.

“Timeconsumedbyahigherspeed of driving gives an earli-er arrival time of merely min-utes. I would not want to riskmy life or the life of my lovedones in such a dangerous envi-ronment, would you?

“Slow down, get off yourphone, stop texting, pay atten-tion,arrivealive,andsavemon-ey, too."

J.B.

“OK, 70 outside of cities isabout right, on I-75 trucks gothat now, as do autos. Especial-ly use higher limits on inter-states in 'cities' like the onenear GE that builds their cof-fers on speeders. State shoulddesignate limits in cities, notvillages and towns.”

Walter

“If State Rep. Maag wantsmotorists to drive 70 or 75mphhecan just leave thespeed limitwhere it is. If he wants speedsof 75 or 80 he should raise thelimit to 70.

“However, how raising thespeed limit makes Ohio theplacewhere businesseswant tosettle is beyond me."

F.N.

“A moot point. Anyone whohas driven an interstate latelyknows most of the traffic al-ready exceeds 70 mph. Thereshould be exceptions such asoversize loads, towed vehiclesetc. These roadswere designedto handle this speed and theyonce did.”

T.J.

For many homeowners,trying to keep the house warmcan be a challenge. Cracksaround doors and windows orpoor insulation can cause heatto leak from the house. Thismeans the heating system iscontinually working to warmcool air and energy consump-tion is much higher than itneeds to be.

There are many solutionsto help stop this cycle of in-efficient energy consumption.

» Seek out an energy audit,a room-by-room assessment ofyour home and energy usage,to find where your home losesthe most energy.

» From the audit, you canaddress thespecific is-sues that yourhouse poses,such as add-ing insulationto your atticor sealingcracks aroundyour founda-tion and ductregisters.

»Do sys-temmaintenance on yourheating system. An annualcheckup from a qualifiedtechnician can prevent minorproblems from turning intomajor, costly expenses.

» Install a programmablethermostat and set it to ac-commodate your household’sschedule. By setting the tem-perature to drop 10 to 15 de-grees for eight hours at atime, you can save 5 percentto 15 percent a year on yourheating bill, according to theU.S. Department of Energy.

For low-income homeown-ers who cannot seek out thesesolutions with their own fi-nancial means, local nonprofitPeople Working Cooperatively(PWC) provides weatheriza-tion or energy conservationservices at no cost.

PWCworks with homeown-ers in two ways: First by mak-ing their homes more energyefficient through physicalchanges, and then by educat-ing the homeowner on behav-ioral changes, such as dialingdown the thermostat or un-plugging electronics. Bothefforts help homeowners takecontrol of their energy usage.

I remember one St.Patrick’s Day in partic-ular. I was a first-graderat St. Margaret of Corto-na School in MadisonPlace. Sister Justinaasked me why I wasn’twearing a green ribbonin my hair.

“Because I’m Leba-nese,” I replied timidly.

The real rea-son, I suspect, isthat Momcouldn’t affordto buy greenribbon to makebows for useight girls. Butyou know, afterall these manyyears, even I’ma bit Irish on St.Patrick’s Day.The story goesthat in the fifth century,St. Patrick went to Ire-land, killed all thesnakes and convertedthe people.

What were they eat-ing? For starters, cress,leeks and cabbage, all ofwhich are ... green!

ChampThis has a puddle of

butter in the middle. Eatfrom outside to inside,dipping each bite intobutter.

2 pounds russet potatoes,peeled, chunked up andcooked

1⁄2cup whipping cream or

half & half1⁄2stick butter1 leek, sliced thin or 4 greenonions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

While potatoes arecooking, bring creamand butter to simmerand stir in leeks. Re-move from heat, coverand let steep while pota-

toes cook. Mashpotatoes, addenough creammixture to makepotatoes creamy.Make well in cen-ter, put dab of but-ter there to meltand make puddle.

Moist andbuttery sodabread

You can’t eat just oneslice. For readers whowanted a sweeter tast-ing soda bread. I use myfood processor, but youcan use a mixer or do itby hand. Check out myblog for step-by-stepphotos.

2 cups all-purpose flour3⁄4teaspoon baking soda1⁄2teaspoon salt3 tablespoons sugar1 stick butter, softened1⁄2heaping cup dried cherries,raisins or your favoritedried fruit

1 cup regular sour creamMelted butter for brushingon top

Turbinado sugar forsprinkling on top(optional, but good)

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Place piece ofparchment on cookiesheet and spray parch-ment. Mix flour, soda,salt, sugar and butteruntil mixture is crumb-ly. Add cherries. Toss tocombine. This keeps thefruit suspended in thebread. Blend in sourcream. Form intomound-shaped circleabout six inches wideand two or so inches tall.Place on cookie sheetand make a cross in themiddle. (This is to letthe devils out, or is it tokeep them from comingin?!) Brush with butterand sprinkle with sugar.Bake 40-50 minutes untiltoothpick inserted incenter comes out clean.Check after 40 minutes.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Turbinado sugar isgolden in color and crys-tals are large.

Terry Pettit’s famousfish fry cole slaw

During Lent, the fishfry at ImmaculateHeart of Mary Churchserves over 1,000 peopleand they come, in part,to enjoy the slaw that’s

served alongside thefish. This is for the read-er who loves that slawand wants to make it athome. I talked to TerryPettit, who shared thisfamily recipe.

“The recipe was froma restaurant that mywife and I owned in theearly ‘90s and was de-veloped for that pur-pose,” Terry told me.

I haven’t had time totest paring it down, buthere’s a guideline. Startwith 1 bag shreddedcabbage (12-16 oz.), 1⁄2cup carrots, 1⁄4 cup redcabbage and enoughslawmix dressing tocoat nicely. For the

dressing, I’d start with 2cups mayo, 2 table-spoons vinegar, 1⁄4 cupsugar and a scant tea-spoon of celery seeds.I’d go to taste and addmore of whatever. I’mthinking I’d like morevinegar, but I haven’ttasted Terry’s slaw atIHM. I would stir inenough dressing to coatthe slaw nicely.

Here’s Tom’s bigbatch recipe.

Slaw:Mix together and coat

with 1 gallon dressing

10 pound bag shreddedcabbage

6 cups carrots, shredded4 cups red cabbage,

shredded

Dressing:

6 cups sugar1 cup clear vinegar11⁄2gallons mayonnaise1⁄3cup celery seed

Dissolve sugar invinegar. Add mayo andcelery seed. Mix thor-oughly.

ROYALTY PARADE AT 9:00 P.M.

I read a study a whileback that said 95 percentof email ads sent fromunknown companieswere just trying to cheatyou.

After you read whathappened to one areaman, you may think thatstudy was right on themark.

Tom Newhouse ofSycamore Township re-

ceived anemailshortlybeforeValentine’sDay. Thead wasfrom ajewelrystore and itofferedwhat ap-peared to

be a great deal.“It was an advertise-

ment, I opened it up andread it. It was gettingclose to Valentine’s and Ithought for $5.95 they’regiving away a piece ofjewelry. I figured I’dsend for this and justhave to pay that shippingcost,” Newhouse said.

Newhouse ordered aheart-shaped necklaceand a few days later anice box from the compa-ny arrived. “When Iopened it up I saw it wasthe wrong thing, so Ididn’t even give it to mywife. I just put it in adrawer,” he said.

Instead of a heart-shaped necklace, thecompany had sent him aman’s bracelet.

“I wasn’t thinking any

more about it and thenthere was, on our creditcard statement, a chargefor $98 from the compa-ny,” Newhouse said.

Newhouse immedi-ately emailed the compa-ny to complain. The com-pany replied that hecouldn’t get his moneyback because it was pastthe 14-day trial period,something of which Ne-whouse was totally un-aware. “I would not havebought it. I don’t buythings sight unseen for$98,” he said.

Under state law the admust state the terms andconditions clearly andconspicuously next to theprice. But the ad simplysaid the price of $5.95and, in small print, said“Terms and conditionsapply.”

Newhouse wrote backto the company explain-ing he didn’t see thoseterms and conditions andthe company refunded$49. But remember Ne-whouse failed to get thejewelry he had orderedfor his wife and didn’twant to pay $50 for theman’s bracelet he re-ceived. So, Newhousewrote more emails com-plaining about having topay anything for what hereceived.

“I told them I hadcontacted the Channel 12Troubleshooter and that Iwould be having an in-terview with them.They’ll probably seesomething on the newsabout their company,” hesaid.

Sure enough, the com-pany responded that ithad reviewed the situa-tion again and decided torefund him the rest ofthe money.

The Better BusinessBureau says it has re-ceived 10 complaintsabout the company injust the three months itsbeen in business. Com-plaints allege bait-and-switch advertising andunauthorized charges –the same things thathappened to Newhouse.

The BBB reports thecompany responded tocomplaints by givingpartial or full refunds.When I called the compa-ny I was told there was amore complete disclo-sure of the terms andconditions on anotherpage as you place yourorder.

So my advice is becareful of offers fromunknown companies andcarefully check for theterms and conditions.Finally, always use acredit card, never a debitcard, when ordering onthe Internet. Then, ifthere’s a problem, youcan dispute the chargewith the credit card com-pany, something you cannot do very easily withyour bank once the mon-ey has been taken fromyour account.

Hamilton County Clerkof Courts Tracy Winkleraddressed the HamiltonCountyPoliceChiefsAsso-ciation Feb. 6 to offer theassistance of her office inthe prevention of the fenc-ing of stolen property.

Newprovisions of statelaw allow the Clerk to pro-vide a “do not buy” list topolice chiefs who, in turn,provide that informationto pawn shops and scrapmetal dealers in their ju-risdiction. The list in-cludes people with priorconvictions for theft-relat-ed offenses. Pawn shopsand scrap metal dealerswho receive this informa-tion are prohibited by lawfrom doing business withthe listed persons.

“My office standsready to assist local lawenforcement agencieswith timely, accurate in-formation to help dramat-ically slow the growth oftheft and expedite theprocess of prosecution ofthese types of property

crimes, “ said Winkler.“This is justanotherexam-pleoftheresourcesthisof-fice provides and coopera-tion I pledge to partnerwith law enforcement.”

Hamilton County Sher-iff Jim Neil said, “This isexactly the type of infor-mation these businessesneedtoprevent themfromviolating the law by pur-

chasing from personsknown to be thieves or re-ceivers of stolen propertyand thus relieve themfrom possible prosecu-tion.”

The list will be avail-able to all Hamilton Coun-ty agencies so they canprovide the appropriatelist to the pawn shops andscrapmetal dealers .
