Cars help enrich math skills.

Like many folks, MarkSchutte has hobbies and inter-ests to occupy his free time.

The28-year-oldGreenTown-ship resident collects and re-stores antique tractors, tinkerswith scale models and is learn-ing the ropes of farming.

A couple of years ago, whilerestoring a 1986 Ford 1710 off-set tractor with his father,Schutte discovered a new inter-est – website development.

“There are all kinds of hob-bies out there,” he said. “Ithought, ‘Why not create a sitewhere everyone who has a hob-

by can share their interestswith each other?’”

For the past two years he’sbeenworkingto launchhisweb-site, Universal Stop. The site,found atwww.universalstop.com, isnowfully functional and ready forany and all hobbyists.

Schutte, who is a police offi-cer inCincinnatiDistrict 3, saidhe’s loved tractors since hewasa child, and he has a specific in-terest in Ford offset tractorsbecause they were only manu-facturedforafewyearsandarerare to find.

He said Ford only made 600of the 1710 model, and he ownsthree of them.

The idea for the website wasborn while he was restoring his1986 model, he said. Since Forddidn’t producemany1710offsettractors, he said parts werehard to come by and it tookquite some time to track downthe parts he needed. And whenhe finally finished the project,he said it was difficult to findplaces to showcase the restoredtractor.

That’s when he realized itwould be helpful if there was asocial networking website giv-ing hobbyists a forum for shar-ing photographs, discussingideas and chatting about their

Ryan Thelen does morethan simply teach history.

The Dater High School his-tory teacher has gone to greatlengths, and great expense, toaccurately reproduce it.

“About 10 years ago I want-ed to have a full-size copy ofthe Declaration of Independ-ence for use in the classroom,”Thelen said.

“I wanted it to be real. Iwanted parchment.”

Frustrated with the small,wrinkled paper copy of thefounding document he was us-ing in his U.S. history class, hesaid he went online to find afull-size reproduction of thedocument printed on calfskin,or vellum, like the original, butcouldn’t find them anywhere.

“I decided to make myown,” he said.

The result was a 10-yearjourney that took him fromEngland toCalifornia, and sev-eral places in between, includ-ing the National Archives andthe Bureau of Engraving andPrinting in Washington, D.C.,as he tried to achieve his goalof using genuine vellum andre-creating the calligraphy asit originally appeared morethan 225 years ago.

Alongthewayhealsodecid-ed to reproduce the U.S. Con-stitution and the Bill of Rightsas well.

Thelen, an East Price Hillresident who’s in his 21st yearof teaching,saidthethreeorig-

inal documents were hand-let-tered on a total of six poster-size sheets of vellum. Com-bined, they take up more than30-square-feet of space. Bycomparison, he said the aver-age souvenir copies take up 5-to 9-square-feet of space.

“Most people are so accus-tomed to the smaller copiesfound in gift shops,” he said.“They don’t know how largethesedocumentsactuallyare.”

He finally tracked down acompany in New York statethatmakesparchmentas largeas the original documents, and

ready for new patients inthe thirdweek ofOctober,he said.

Nanette Bentley,spokeswoman for MercyHealth, said several keysteps in the hospital’s con-struction have recentlybeen completed.

The progress includesthe installation of blueglass panels which formcrosses on both the eastand west sides of thebuilding, installation ofglazed tile panels for thewestern face of the build-ing and the planting of allthe plants for the build-ing’s green roof so theycan take root in time forthe spring growing sea-son, Bentley said.

Landscapers have alsoplanted trees along thehospital’s entrance drive,MercyBoulevard, and theentryway’s limestone

walls have been installed,she said.

The new hospital willserve as the center ofMercy Health’s networkof health care servicesthroughout the area.

“It really is Mercy’scommitment to bringingcomprehensive servicesto the West Side,” Ste-phens said. “Patients pre-fer to receive care in thecommunities in whichthey live.”

Being able to get careclose tohome,where their

families can be involved,does help improve out-comes for patients, hesaid.

As a full-service hospi-tal, he said Mercy Healthwill be able to offer ser-vices it does not have ca-pabilities for now at itsneighborhood hospitals inWestwood and Mount Ai-ry.

MercyHealth is spend-ing $300 million on thehospital project, he said.The hospital will employmore than 1,000 people.

ROADS GET AN UPGRADEMuch of the road work being done in the Monfort

Heights area in advance of the opening of the newMercyHealth – West Hospital is scheduled to wrap up this sum-mer.Green Township’s project to widen North Bend Road in

front of the new hospital is scheduled to be finished thefirst of July, said Joe Lambing, Green Township’s director ofpublic services.North Bend is being widened from Boomer Road to

Kleeman Road, allowing for the addition of travel and turnlanes.“Our project is going along really well,” Lambing said.The other major road construction project along North

Bend Road is being handled by the Ohio Department ofTransportation, he said.ODOT is working on the North Bend/West Fork Intersec-

tion Improvement project, which entails the addition ofright-turn lanes at all four corners of the North Bend andWest Fork intersection. The work is expected to be finishedsometime this summer.Beginning this spring, ODOT will also upgrade the ramps

at North Bend Road and Interstate 74. As part of the im-provements, the capacity on the overpass will increasefrom three lanes to four lanes.That work is estimated to be completed in late summer.

he said Harlan Graphicson River Road figuredout how to print the cal-ligraphy images he’dcommissioned onto theparchment.

Thelen said he be-lieves it’s the first time afull-size parchment re-production of the U.S.Constitution has everbeen done, and it’s thefirst time the Bill ofRights have been repro-

duced full size on vellumsince hand-letteredcopies were distributedto the new states in 1788.He said the last time theDeclaration of Independ-ence was reproduced onparchment was in 1829when William Stonemade 201 vellum copies.

“It’s been hard, but it’sfun,” Thelen said. “It wasexciting to say it was thefirst parchment repro-duction of the Constitu-tion.”

He sells authentic re-productions of the threedocuments through his

company, Patrigraphica.The company can befound online at www.pa-trigraphica.com. Thelensells the documents toteachers at cost.

Although he’s gone togreat personal expenseto make the historic doc-uments, Thelen said it’snot about the money.

He has a passion forhistory, and his 10-yearlabor of love has resultedin the first complete vel-lum reproduction of the“Charters of Freedom”as they lookedwhen theywere new.

The Oak Hills LocalSchool District Board ofEducation voted 4-1 tohave the Hamilton Coun-ty Auditor certify mill-age for a 5-year emer-

gency levyto raise$5.2 mil-lion.

The res-olutionwas thefirst in atwo-stepprocess toplace an

operating levy on theMay 7 ballot. After theauditor certifies the

millage,estimatedto be about4.7 or 4.8mills, theboard willhave tovotewhether ornot toplace the

levy on the ballot. Esti-mated cost for the ownerof a $100,000 home is$150.

The district’s fiscalforecast originallycalled for a levy to beplaced on the ballot in2014. However, aftershelling out about$500,000 to pay for theJon Peterson specialneeds scholarship –which awards studentswith disabilities fundsfrom $7,196 to $20,000 toattend the school of theirchoice – the school dis-trict had to reconsiderthe timing of a levy.

Treasurer RondaJohnson presented thedistrict’s five-year fore-cast at the Jan. 7 schoolboard meeting.

Despite cuts in thelast three years – about$7 million as a result of$2.3 million of adminis-

trative cuts, staffingcuts through attritionand some reduction inforce, outsourcing tech-nology and shared ser-vices – the district ex-pects to fall below a 60-day true cash balance byfiscal year 2014 and 2015.

“Anything below a 60-day cash balance puts usin jeopardy of needing todo some short-term bor-rowing,” she said.

But not all the schoolboard members thoughta levy in May was a goodidea. Board memberSteve Schinkal request-ed that the board consid-er waiting to place the

levy on theballot untilNovem-ber.

“Iwouldratherwait untilwe can seewhat thestate’s bi-ennium

budget is,” he said.Hesaid that the state’s

two-year budget, whichshould be complete inJune, will include fund-ing for the Petersonscholarships as anamendment to HouseBill 280 passed to givedistricts more money tooffset those costs.

“The house bill elimi-nated the impact of thescholarships,” he said. “I

thought we at least owedit the chance to reviewthe new biennium bud-get before putting a levyon the ballot.”

He added that anotherfactor to waiting untilNovember was to savemoney. Estimated cost tothe district to place alevy on the May or Au-gust ballot is $65,000,and $30,000 for the No-vember ballot.

“I’m trying to bemoreprudent with taxpayermoney,” he said.

Superintendent ToddYohey expressed hisconcern during themeeting about waitinguntil November.

“From experience Iknow that it’s very dan-gerous to run an operat-ing levy during the sameelection that there areschool board seats up forelection because whathappens is you have peo-ple in the communitywho are adamantly op-posed to an operatinglevy and they run forschool board and theyget every no vote againstthe levy they also get as aschool board member,”he said. “So, because ofthat issue being on theballot, we have potential-ly set our school districtup to have board mem-bers who aren’t suppor-tive of the school districtand I just think that’s a

dangerous roll of thedice in November whenthere’s a board electionat the same time.”

A millage rate will becertified by the auditor

and is typically availabletwo weeks after is sub-mitted. The board is ex-pected to vote whetheror not to place the levy onthe ballot at a special

meeting at 5 p.m.Wednesday, Jan. 23, atthe Oak Hills district of-fice, 6325 Rapid RunRoad. The meeting isopen to the public.

Cheviot Savings Bankemployees have pre-served some of the bank’shistory as they preparefor the future.

The West Side finan-cial institution is expand-ing its corporate head-quarters at 3723 Glen-moreAve. in Cheviotwitha 17,000-square-feet addi-tion.

Construction of thethree-story addition isnearly complete, andCheviot Savings BankPresident Thomas Linne-man said they will moveinto the new space theweekend of Feb. 15.

Before beginning thenext chapter in the bank’scentury-old story, Linne-man and his employeesmade sure to properlymark the occasion.

They placed a timecapsule inside a wall nearthe cornerstone of thenew addition on Thurs-day, Jan. 10. The time cap-sule is to be opened 50years from now, on Jan.10, 2063.

Linneman said the ideafor the capsule cameabout during a construc-tionmeeting.He said theywere talking about thebuilding’s cornerstoneand it was mentioned thattime capsules are oftenplaced in building corner-

stones.“We thought it would

be a great idea,” he said.

“Wedecidedwewanted toget Cheviot School in-volved and they city in-

volved.”Annie Efkeman, the

bank’s marketing direc-tor, said the time capsulecontains about 50 items.

The silver metal boxprotects such items asnewspapers, bank em-ployees’ business cards,photographs of bank em-ployees and photos of theaddition being construct-ed, she said. CheviotSchool donated a T-shirtwith the school’s logo on itand a yearbook to beplaced in the capsule, andshe said they received abrick from the city build-ing.

Linneman said the cap-sule also contains a bankledger from 1928 and ar-chive photographs fromwhen the bank firstopened in 1911. Back thenit was named the CheviotBuilding and Loan Co.

“It should be neat toopen in 50 years,” he said.

The new addition con-nects to the existing bankbuilding. It will housetraining facilities, confer-ence rooms, administra-tive offices and the bank’slending department. Theaddition provides spacefor possible future expan-sion as well.

WESTWOOD—The success ofthe Mercy bowling team is sur-prising to some consideringthere are no seniors on the teamand coach Mike McDonald isdowntofivebowlersduetosick-ness and injury.

The 12-1 Bobcats sit in a tieatop The Enquirer coaches’ pollwith Mason, despite a 22-pointvictory over the Lady CometsDec. 18.

“I said it when these girlswere freshmen, they reallywanted to bowl,” he said. “If Iwould give them five days aweek (to bowl), they would behere five days a week. Thesefive have stuck with it, are agood group and really get

along.”McDonald knewwhat he had

after the Ohio Kick-Off ClassicDec. 1 when his girls qualifiedfirst and finished fifth. Theirbest prior result was a 14th-place finish. In addition, theBobcats placed fourth at theHoliday Classic at WesternBowl and won the Hamilton BigBlue Challenge.

“I didn’t think they would bethis good this year,” McDonaldsaid, who is in his12th yearwiththe Bobcats. “I thought nextyear would be our year.”

The Bobcats have five of thetop 12 bowlers in the GirlsGreater Cincinnati League, ledby junior Sarah Corso with a198.3 average, which ranks hersecond in the league.

“I honestly could not tell

you,” Corso said about what’sbeen the key to her success thisseason. “I took a break over thesummer for two weeks, camebackandeversince it’sbeenlikenothing lower than a 150, whichis pretty good for me. (Coach)Mike is a huge help for me.”

Coming off the state tourna-ment as a sophomore, SabrinaWeibel’s 195 average ranks hersecond on the team and third inthe GGCL. The junior points toher success last season and in-creased lane time this seasonfor the positive results.

“Going to state was a reallybig experience for me becausefirst of all I wasn’t with theteam, and second it was a wholenew thing,” Weibel said. “Thisyear I think is a lot better too be-cause we are bowling all the

time.”Rachel Horn – who sits fifth

in the GGCL with a 178.1 aver-age – shares a common beliefwith the other Bobcat bowlers.

“I think (being down to fivebowlers) does help because weplay a lot and our averages arereal,” shesaid. “Itmotivatesyouto keep your average up so youreally have to try hard.”

McDonaldwantsmore thanaGGCL title this season and be-lieves thesky is the limit for thisteam.

“We really want to go back tostate as a team andwe proved it(is possible) at that state kick-off classic,” he said. “The teamthatwonstate lastyear(Coldwa-ter) was there and they lost onebowler.We beat them. So that tome says we can compete.”

PRICE HILL — Halfwaythroughtheseasonandsittingat6-5, Western Hills boys basket-ball coach Shawn Kerley likeswhere his team sits consideringthe challenges they’ve facedthis season.

After the graduation of theirtop three scorers and injuries tomultiple players, including Cor-tezAdams, the first timeKerleyhad a full roster this seasonwasJan. 11 in a win against Aiken.

“Things have been slow,”Kerley said. “… The things thathurt us are just not a lot of cohe-siveness, experience and beingdecimated by injuries the firstpartof theseason.Thegoodpartis everybody is healthy now andourgoals are still sitting in frontof us.”

With the new parts still com-ing together, the Mustangs aregiving up the fifth-most pointsin the Cincinnati Metro AthleticConference at 64 points pergame. Kerley ultimately knowsif they are to reach their goalsthe defense must improve.

“We are trying to get every-body to buy in on defense,” hesaid. “No matter how much ex-perience you have on the floor,

defense wins championships.”Offense hasn’t been as much

of a problem, as West High isputting up more than 65 pointspergameandhavefourguysav-eraging double digits led byMarquez Carpentar.

The senior is puttingupmorethan13pointsandninereboundsa game.

“Overall he’s been great andhe’s been a leader,” Kerley said.“We need him to be at 100 per-cent, 100 percent of the time forus to do what we want to do andthat is to overachieve.”

From the outside you mightthink the 11.3 points and 5.3 as-sists per game from DejuanSherman would be a surpriseandanaddedbonus for theMus-tangs, but Kerley believes hissophomore is just getting start-ed.

“I thinkhe is going toget a lotbetter,” he said. “Now he hasseen the pace of the game andknows what it takes. I ampleased with his progress and Ireally anticipate him to get a lotbetter this season.”

As the lead Mustang finallysees his roster shaping up forthe stretch run, Kerleywants toreflect on thedisappointment oflast season’s postseason run toinspire the 2012-2013Mustangs.

Western Hills’ Marquez Carpentar battles Isaiah Johnson of WalnutHills for the ball during sectional play last season. Carpentar is theMustangs’ leading scorer this season at 13.3 points per game and ispulling down nine rebounds a contest. JEFF SWINGER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Business says thanksCincinnati is a town that

loves independent businessowners. Having moved to Cin-cinnati a decade ago from Chi-cago, I was amazed at all thesmall businesses, and the loyal-ty that customers felt to them.

If these economic times havetaught me anything, it is thatthere is no more direct positiveimpact you can make on yourcommunity than supporting lo-cally owned independent busi-nesses. I’ve often been one ofthe consumers who follow thismantra, but this past fall I be-came one of the business own-ers who are impacted by it.

When a group of us openedthe Broadhope Art Collective inCheviot last October, we knewthere was a need for arts pro-gramming and retail and thatwehada lot of artists onoursideof town that are underrepre-sented locally. We had no ideathe wonderfully overwhelmingresponse that the communitywould give our little endeavorandarestill humbledby it today.

Please let us say “thank you”to the community for making itpossible for our business tothrive and grow in a time thatsaying such is not common. Allof our artists grew up or live in

Cincinnati, and nowhere is amore direct cause and effect ofbuying locallymadegoods fromlocal artists in a local businessbeen seen.

In the months and years tocome, we aim to become a fix-ture in the Cheviot business dis-trictandalreadyfeel thatgottena wonderful start. We are openfour days a week and on Satur-day, Jan. 26, we will have ourmonthly open house from 11a.m.-6 p.m. and all are invited.We also have plans down theroad to feature local authors,community art shows and localmusicians.Whetheryoucameinand said “hello,” bought an itemor took a class – thank you foryour support.

Five steps tonomore guns

Thedaysoftheeliminationofguns are rapidly approaching.And it will not be done by thegovernment but the gun ownersthemselves.Probably in fivenotso easy steps:

1) Proudly displaying newmulti-clipassaultrifles toneigh-bors and friends will be met

with shock. They won’t see therifle. Instead, they’ll see 20slaughtered children piled in aheap .

2) Hunting will become athing of the past because thereis nothing left to hunt. The fewrabbits, squirrels, and deer leftstanding by hunters are beingforced from their life-givinghabitat by the sprawl ofMc’mansions.

3) These same Mc’mansionswill encroach on the outdoorsgun clubs. Complaints fromowners about noisy weekendshooting will dampen the fun oftrap shooters and target shoot-ers. They may even sell theirland to new development.

4) With little left, rifle enthu-siasts will join inside gun clubsand fire their rounds at picturesof Bin Laden.

Thus: rifles will be stuffed inthe back of the closet, hopefullyunloaded, until some 9 year oldfishes it out and aims it a neigh-bor child ormom. This scenariomay take a few generations butit gives hope to we non-enthusi-asts concerned about our chil-dren.

Moral compass changedIn outlawingprayer in school

wedepartmentalizedGod. Inre-fusing to acknowledge that weare three parts; body, mind andspirit, we created a spiritualvoid that allowed evil to wreckhavoc.

Wecandebaterathersocietalchange lead to the removal ofprayer or the removal of prayerlead to societal change. What isnot debatable is the change inour moral compass since theACLU won their court battleover prayer in school.

Most boys my age carriedBoyScout-typeknives to school.I remember a classmate bring-ing a German luger to school aspart of a project. No one fearedfor their life.

Darrell Scott, the father of avictim of Columbine HighSchool, spoketoasubcommitteeof Congress in 1999. The follow-ing poem was part of his state-ment:

“Your laws ignore our deep-est needs;

Your words are empty air;You’ve stripped away our

heritage;You’ve outlawed simple

prayer;Now gunshots fill our class-

rooms;And precious children die;You seek for answers every-

where;

And ask the question ‘Why?’You regulate restrictive laws

through legislative creed;And yet you fail to under-

stand;That God is what we need!”How many children have

died since Columbine?Al Ostendorf

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

For the yearending Dec. 31,2012 Townshiphad total reve-nue of$39,721,055 anddisbursementsof $38,983,460.At year’s endthe Townshiphad unencum-bered funds of

$19,505,737, of which$13,449,509 were in the Town-ship’s General Fund.

Green Township’s GeneralFund had revenue of $6,433,599and had disbursements of$5,453,057. The surplus in the

General Fund for 2012 is an en-couraging development for thetownship. The main reason forthe surplus in the General Fundwas the increase in revenue re-ceived from the Ohio EstateTax. 2012 represented one of thebetter years for the township’srevenue received from theOhioEstate Tax.

Ohio Estate Tax receipts2012 – 3,178,4762011 – 1,752,7602010 – 2,652,4652009 – 4,922,5062008 – 2,362,761Over the last 10 years, the

township has averaged approxi-mately $2,650,000 a year in re-

ceipts from theOhioEstate Tax.The Estate Tax receipts havehistorically represented ap-proximately 45 percent of thetownship’s General Fund in-come.

The Ohio Estate Tax waseliminated on Jan. 1, 2013. Thetownship will still receive in-come for deaths before Jan. 1,2013, since the tax is not due un-til nine months after death.However, after 2013, little – ifany– incomewill be receivedbythe township from the Ohio Es-tate Tax.

In 2012, the township re-ceived $669,315 from the OhioLocal Government Fund. The

State of Ohio has reduced fund-ing for the Local GovernmentFund. In previous years theTownship received approxi-mately $1.1million dollars fromthe Local Government Fund.Also, elimination of the PublicUtility Tax reimbursement andTangible Personal Property Taxwill have a negative effect onthe township’s receipts in futureyears.

The TIF had total receipts of$21,148,565 and disbursementsof $21,656,288, leaving an unen-cumbered balance in the TIF of$4,697,409. Approximately$8,300,000of theTIFreceiptsgoto the township. The balance

goes to local school districts andauditor’s fees. TIF funds maynot be used for salary and bene-fits under Ohio law. TIF fundsare generally used for equip-ment and Capital ImprovementProjects.

The township has been fortu-nate to create several Joint Eco-nomic Development Districts(JEDD’s) in the last few years.Once Mercy West Hospital isfully operational the threeJEDD’s could produce revenueof $1 million dollars for severalyears. This income from theJEDD’s will help offset some,but not all, of the cutbacks fromthe state of Ohio.

Shared services refers to communi-tiesandgovernmentoffices teamingupto take advantage of economies of scale

todeliverrequiredser-vices. The state ad-ministration continuesto offer it as somethingnew and wonderful, asa possible way forcounties, cities, villageand townships to tryand deal with thestate’s excessive andextreme cuts in localgovernment funding.

The reality is manyhave been sharing ser-

vices for years. Most local govern-ments and public offices always worktogether as often as they can. They donot need to be encouraged to do so. It isnot an original or real solution to theloss of long standing, significant statesupport.

Our office was among the first toparticipate when then Clerk of CourtsJim Cissell proposed a combined coun-tymail facility in1992.When the city ofCincinnati closed down its Weights andMeasuresDepartment in1996, ourstaff

took over that responsibility in the city– and did it with no additional staff.

Formany years key county networkservers along with the county commis-sioners’ agenda system was supportedthrough a joint operation with the cityof Cincinnati. During the past year thecity expressed the desire to concludethis service. So much for depending onanother government entity.

County administration turned to usfor help. I immediately asked our tal-ented and professional informationtechnology staff to assist. They havebeenworking on theproject for severalmonths and the transition of supportwill be completed soon. The countywillhave better control of these systemsand services and some modest savingsare anticipated.

Shared services is a noble conceptbut it is not innovative nor is it a pana-cea. It certainly cannot replace thefundsstategovernmenthas takenawayfrom local and county governments.Local governments help each other allthe time. Let us not call the common-place special.

Dusty Rhodes is the county auditor.

Shared services isnot a panacea

Howmany of youhave made homemadedrop dumplings fromscratch?

Actually, they’re easyenough forkids tomake, withyour guid-ance.Dumplingsare sogoodcooked ontop of soupor stew, orsimplydropped

into hot broth. And Iguarantee you’ll get“oohs” and “aahs” fromthose lucky enough toenjoy them.

Also, I had mentionedthat I had recipes for hotdilled vegetables andsaid if you wanted any,let me know. The re-quests for hot dilly beanswere too numerous forme to mail, etc., so I’msharing that one today. Ialso have a nice recipefor Korean kimchi,which is fast becomingtrendy, on my blog.

DumplingsFirst, have your soup,

stew or broth boiling onthe stove.

1 cup flour11⁄2 teaspoons baking

powder1⁄4 teaspoon salt1⁄2 cupmilk3 tablespoons butter orequivalent

Bit of minced or driedparsley (optional)

Pepper to taste

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt. Addparsley. Make a well incenter. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.Pour into well and mix.Dough will look shaggyand very sticky. Don’tover mix. Turn heatdown on soup to simmer.Use an ice cream scoopsprayed with cookingspray to drop dumplingscarefully on top of liquid,leaving some space inbetween for expansion.Put lid on. No peeking!Simmer 6-8 minutes oruntil largest dumpling isdone: cut in half to test.Dumplings expand todouble or even triple.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Baking powder: Notsure if it still has leav-ening power? Put a bit inwarm water, it shouldfizz up quickly if it’s stillgood.

Hot dilly beansInspired by a Ball

canning recipe. If you

don’t want spicy beans,leave the cayenne out.You can substitute okra,as well but note the dif-ferent processing times.Now as far as the hotpepper taste is con-cerned, after jars arefilled, taste a bit of thebrine and if you wantmore hot pepper, go forit. But remember, as thepickles sit, the hot pep-per flavor will get moreintense.

4 pint canning jars with lids2 pounds trimmed greenbeans

21⁄2 cups clear or cider

vinegar21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup Kosher salt4 teaspoons minced garlic4 generous teaspoons dillseeds

12 whole peppercorns1 teaspoon cayenne pepperflakes, divided

Sterilize jars in a potof boiling water for 15minutes or run throughdishwasher. Keep ringsand lids in hot water.Keep jars hot.

Brine:Bring vinegar, water

and salt to boil. Packbeans tightly in jars,

leaving 1⁄4 inch head-space. To each jar, add 1teaspoon each of garlicand dill seeds, three pep-percorns and 1⁄4 teaspooncayenne. Pour boilingbrine over. Wipe rimswith clean wet cloth. Putlids and rings on andprocess in boiling waterbath for 8 minutes. Ifmaking okra, process 12minutes. Let sit about amonth (I know it’s hard)before tasting. These arepantry stable.

Refrigerator dillybeans

No processing in boil-ing water bath. After youput lids on, let cool oncounter and then refrig-erate. Again, wait about amonth before tasting.

Two-way poppyseed dressing

Citrus fruits are inseason! Try this for top-ping a salad made fromoranges, grapefruits, ahandful of chopped pars-ley and a thinly slicedshallot.

Whisk:

Zest and juice of one lemon2 tablespoons pure maplesyrup

1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon poppyseeds

1⁄4 cup sour cream or Greekyogurt

Tips from readers’kitchens

Friendship muffins:JoAnn S. said she makesmuffins with the puddingrecipe of Friendshipbread. She loves to tweakrecipes. “Foil cupcakeliners work best. I haveadded 1/2-3/4 cup of Crai-sins, blueberries, raisinsand/or nuts to batterbefore filling and toppedeach with a teaspoon of amixture of cinnamonsugar and finely choppednuts before baking. Bakeat 350 degrees for 15-20minutes or till a tooth-pick comes out clean.”

did real good work. Iwas under the impres-sion it was a big compa-ny,” Terlau said.

The company, Majes-tic Warranty of Frank-lin, Ind., had a contractthat claimed to cover alot of items. But whenTerlau called to get re-pair work approved, hesays he was given therunaround.

“I’ve tried callingthem. At first theywould answer the phoneand they would referyou to different me-chanics and then, thepast year, it was reallyhard to contact them,”Terlau said.

Terlau said he wantedto take the vehicle to adealership for repairs,but the warranty com-pany wouldn’t let him.

When shopping for aused car, the salesmanmay encourage you tobuy a warranty.

But that warrantymay turn out to be littlemore than a waste ofmoney unless you’recareful.

Matthew Terlau, ofLawrenceburg, Ind.,

bought a vehicle from aused car dealer nearlytwo years ago. He saysthe salesman convincedhim to buy the warrantyat a cost of about $1,500.

“They recommendedit. They went throughthat warranty. Theytalked it up like it was abig company and they

Instead,he wastold to goto small,indepen-dent automechan-ics. Thefirst me-chanic, hesaid, wasunable to

find the problem. Thesecond mechanic washelpful but, Terlau said,“He did all the estimatesand turned them intothem. But then I couldnever get ahold of themechanic again.”

If you think MajesticWarranty would thenallow him to go to anoth-er repair shop, thinkagain. Terlau discov-ered Majestic had goneout of business and filed

bankruptcy late lastyear – taking his $1,500with it.

“I thought it was agood deal. I was gettinga warranty that says itcovers what it’s sup-posed to and now, twoyears later, I’ve nevergot nothing,” Terlausaid.

Unfortunately, hear-ing that an extendedauto warranty companyhas gone out of businessis not unusual. So, ifyou’re considering buy-ing such a warrantythere are certain stepsyou need to take to pro-tect yourself.

First, find out whereyou can take your vehi-cle for repairs. Ideally,you should be able totake it anywhere.

Second, make sure

the contract is backedby a licensed, regulatedinsurance company.That way you can stillfile a claim even if thewarranty company goesout of business.

Third, check out thecompany with the Bet-ter Business Bureau.The BBB has no recordof Majestic Warranty.

Finally, after you payfor the warranty, getwritten confirmation ofthe policy, just to besure your money wasreally sent to the compa-ny and not kept by thedealer.

ded, theywere two blocksfrom the bar and he washolding her purse, pullingher east on Harrison Ave-nue near North BendRoad.

She was crying and in-sisting she did not want togo with him, but he con-tinued to pull her handdown the street.

She feared he would

hurt her and told authori-tieshe threatenedherear-lier in the night, saying hewould “sock” her in theface if she did not go withhim.

■A man was taken into
