UNION TWP. — Keith Maupinrecently found out how muchthe community appreciateswhat he’s done for U.S. troops.

Dozens of people descendedon his Clermont County homeand surprised him with plansto begin – immediately – a ma-jor makeover of his house andgarage using donatedmaterialand labor.

The procession of volun-teers, friends and donors wasled down Mount Carmel-To-bascoRoadbypolice onmotor-cycles and Patriot Guard Rid-ers. The latter often are invit-ed to memorial services forfallen military members, but“this is a fun one for us,” saidPatriot Guard assistant statecaptainMikeHamilton ofWestChester Township.

Maupin, he said, “has beensteadfast about taking care ofthe troops and seeing thatthey’re supported. He’s neverfaltered.Andhe’s always therefor us whenever we need any-thing. We felt it was time forpayback.”

Indeed, people said they gotinvolved because they knowhow much Maupin has given.And they know how much hehas lost.

His son, Keith “Matt” Mau-

pin, graduated from Glen EsteHigh School in 2001, a fewmonths before the Sept. 11 ter-rorist attacks. He enrolled atthe University of Cincinnati.To help pay for his education,in 2002 he enlisted in the U.S.Army Reserve.

He was deployed to Iraq inFebruary 2004. On April 9, the20-year-old private first classwas captured when his convoywas ambushed by insurgents.

The Yellow Ribbon SupportCenter, run by Keith Maupin,was founded that year. It sentcare packages to soldiers inIraq; each package includedphotos ofMatt, with a note ask-ing for help finding him.

When it became apparent

that many more troops werelacking basic necessities, theSupport Center’s effortsbroadened. Packages weresent to the unit of any soldierwhose family requested it.

Meanwhile, after being de-clared missing in action, MattMaupin was promoted threetimes, reaching the rank ofstaff sergeant.

In March 2008, his remainswere recovered and returnedhome.

Since then, the SupportCen-ter has continued to send pack-ages to troops. That tally nowexceeds 22,000.

What’s more, the Let UsNever Forget ScholarshipFund, part of the support cen-ter, was created in 2006 to pro-vide college scholarships inthe name of fallen militarymembers from the area. Thefund has since awarded morethan $400,000 to high schoolseniors.

The nonprofit center, basedin a strip mall in Eastgate thepast nine years, was recentlytold its rent would more thantriple. Unable to find an af-fordable space, Maupin decid-ed to move the center, whichnow includes a museum, into alarge garage behind his house.

A groundbreaking ceremo-ny recentlywas conducted forthe Interstate 275/state Route32 Interchange Improvementproject in Union Township.

A part of the Eastern Corri-dor Program’s effort to ad-dress problems associatedwith access to the state Route32 corridor in the Eastgatearea, the project will involvereconstructing the inter-change to provide safer andmore efficient travel for mo-torists.

“Clermont County is grow-ing,” said Clermont CountyEngineer Pat Manger. “Thereare an increasing number ofjobs in the Eastgate area. Em-ployers, their employees andpotential workers fromthroughout the region arelooking to our area as ahub foreconomic development andstrategic growth.

“At the same time,weknowthat local residents and fam-ilies consider Eastgate a pop-ular destination. It’s our job tomake sure the infrastructureis in place to support safe andefficient travel to and throughthe Eastgate area.”

Coordinated by the OhioDepartment of Transporta-tion, the groundbreakingevent officially launched thebeginningof the thirdphaseoftransportation improvementsalong state Route 32 for theEastgate area.

The I-275/state Route 32 in-terchangeprojectwill addressa variety of issues includinghigh accident rates, increas-ing traffic and congestion andinappropriately spaced road-way access points that requiremotorists to merge quicklyand weave between accelerat-ing traffic.

The first two phases of im-provements, currently in pro-gress, have been laying thefoundation for this work.

Phase 1 focuses on realign-ing and widening lanes alongEastgateNorthFrontageRoad(also know as Eastgate NorthDrive), as well as improvingaccess to and fromstateRoute32 and Eastgate Boulevard.

Phase 2 focuses on the re-construction of the EastgateBoulevardoverstateRoute32,making itwiderandrelocatingthe westbound entrance andexitrampsfromstateRoute32to Eastgate North Drive (in-stead of Eastgate Boulevard).

Moving ramp traffic is ex-pected to improve levels ofservice along Eastgate Boule-vard.

Together, this work is ex-pected to make travel easierand safer along state Route 32within the I-275 interchangearea, accommodate increas-ing traffic levels, and reducecongestion and travel delays.

“Many people and organi-zationshaveworkedveryhardto move the I-275/state Route32 interchange project up tothe forefront and get it com-pleted sooner than later,” saidClermont County Commis-sioner Ed Humphrey.

Humphrey noted that theproject was delayed in Janu-ary 2012 until 2019, but ODOTwas able tomove constructionup to this year through fundsmade available through in-house efficiencies and an un-expected bump in federalfunds.

The I-275/state Route 32 in-terchange project will takeslightly more than two yearsto complete.

The Clermont CountyTransportation ImprovementDistrict, in coordination withOhioDepartment of Transpor-tation, will communicate con-struction status and any rout-ing information through itswebsite and through emailtraffic updates.

Road work starts oninterstate ramps

Officials from Clermont County, Hamilton County,Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments, the OhioDepartment of Transportation, and members of the projectcontractor team break ground for the Interstate 275/state Route 32Interchange Improvement project.

He was thereWednesday, talking witha contractor about dry-wall, as dozens of peoplegathered outside.

Shannon Moore, whoownsMoorePlumbing inFayetteville, was amongthem. While repairing asink in Maupin’s homerecently, he saw howmuchmore needed to bedone.

“His refrigeratorwasn’t working,” Mooresaid. “His air condition-er wasn’t working.” Andit was apparent thehousehadn’t beenupdat-ed for many years.

“I don’t think hewould do it for himself,”

Moore said. “He’s tooworried about every-body else.He puts all hismoney right back intothe YellowRibbon Foun-dation.”

Moore’s idea, initia-lly, was to surpriseMau-pin by renovating thekitchen and bathroom.But “it snowballed intosomething huge.”

MichaelBarrett hadalot to do with that. He’sowner of MAB HVACServices in Covington.He learned from KeithMaupin’s fiancé, EricaHuff, that because of thebroken air conditioning,Maupin had been sleep-ing in his van on hotnights.

Barrett fixed the airconditioner, then startedmaking calls.

Pam Middendorff hasbeen saddling up horsessince she was a child.

“Over the years, I’vehad the good fortune tomeetmany horse enthusi-asts like myself and trailriders in particular,” theIndian Hill resident said.

“They are a greatgroup of folks from allwalks of life with a singu-lar love of horses but be-cause of their diversity ofriding styles and geogra-phy, they had no way ofconnecting with each oth-er.”

Until now.Middendorff and oth-

ers have formed the Indi-an Hill Equestrian Club,which she said is current-ly the village’s only adultriding club.

“Several months ago, Ibegan talking with agroup of friends aboutstarting a trail-ridinggroup and as of June, theIndian Hill EquestrianClub has grown to over 70members,” said Midden-dorff, club president.

“The purpose of ourgroup is to create newfriendships among adultriders and horse loversthrough monthly trailrides, social events andeducational programs.

“The group is also ded-icated toworkingwith thevillage of Indian Hill tosupport, maintain andpreserve the 150-mile,bridle-trail system,” Mid-dendorff said.

Kerry Daus is a villageresident who is chairingthe IndianHillEquestrian

Club’s communicationscommittee.

“Having trail-ridden inIndian Hill as a child andnow again as an adult, Iam excited to have the In-dian Hill EquestrianClub,” Daus said.

“It is a wonderful col-lection of horse enthusi-astswithwhom I can ride,learn and socialize.”

Upcoming members-only events include a trailrideSaturday, July13, andthe club’s first annualcookout Saturday, July 20– both at Camargo Stableson Shawnee Run Road inIndian Hill.

An Indian Hill Eques-trian Club riding mem-bership is $25 a year and anon-riding membership$50 a year.

Members do not haveto live in Indian Hill,whichhada riding club onBlome Road – now theGreenacres Equine Cen-ter - at which Midden-dorff began taking les-sons at an early age.

“Since childhood, Ihave loved horses, ridingand the beauty of thetrails in IndianHill,”Mid-dendorff said.

“Happily, my commer-cial real estate-invest-ment business allows methe freedomtocontinue toride the trails to this daywith my sure and steadymount, ‘Legacy Beau,’ aregistered quarter horse.

“The bridle trails wereoriginally developed bythe Camargo Hunt in the1920s and at one time cov-ered over 250 miles forfoxhunting,” Midden-dorff said.

“The majority of the

remaining trails are locat-ed on 2,500 acres of greenareas owned in trust bythe village.

“Although the Camar-go Hunt still comes to In-dian Hill to hunt duringtheir season that runsSeptember to March,their kennels are now lo-cated in Burlington, Ky.,”Middendorff said.

When New Richmond Ex-empted Village School DistrictSuperintendent Adam Bird ap-proachedMarkBaileyaboutbe-coming principal at the highschool, one of the first subjectson the agenda was improvingthe school’s advanced place-ment course test scores.

Bird got the results he want-ed this year as 65 New Rich-mond High School studentsscored three or higher on the2013 Advanced Placement teststo become eligible for collegecredit that could save themany-where from $80,000 to $115,000in tuition based on semesterhour charges at local universi-ties. Eleven students scored afive, 24 earned a four and 30earneda three (which is the cut-off for many colleges for APcredit), an improvement of 23percent over 2012.

“Mark and his NRHS staffare to be commended for theway they made it a priority andmade it happen,” Bird told theNewRichmond board of educa-tion. “The tremendous jump inAP results is a testament to thehardworkof the students, staff,and administration at NRHS.”

“Our staff’s dedication andhard work has resulted in thehighest percentage of passingscores on the AP test sinceNRHS started keeping recordsof theresults,” saidBailey. “Thenational average for scores ofthree or above is around 52 per-cent, and I sincerely hope thateveryone feels a great sense ofaccomplishment from this pastyear ... improved OGT resultsand improvement in AP test re-sults.”

Overall, seven of 11 studentstaking the biology AP testpassed with three or higher, 13of 15 passed their Literature &Composition test, 19 of 25 stu-dents passed the Human Geog-raphy test (six with scores offive), 10 of 15 students passedtheU.S. Government test and11students passed the Chemistrytest (compared to only two in2012).

Baileymadeprofessional de-velopment and updated class-room supplies - from textbooksto pigs for dissecting - for APclasses a priority.

“They made improving APresults a building focus andbacked that up with profession-al development and budgetarysupport,” said Bird.

“Wehadnew,up-to-date text-books and we had two sectionsthisyearsoclasssizewassmall-er,” said human geographyteacher Bill Harris. “But thenumber one reason we did sowell (56 percent got fours andfives, 76 percent passedwith anaverage score of 3.5) was that

thesekidsworkedtheir tailsoff.“Over the years I’ve given

more and more work and thisyear’sgrouprarelycomplained.This was best group I’ve everhad for asking questions. Theymadesure theyunderstoodcon-cepts rather than being contentto rattle off definitions and the-ories.”

Harris’ experience as an APgeography reader in 2012 alsohelped with the improvedscores.

“Having graded AP examsthe year before I had a muchbetter plan for teaching how tobreakdowntheessaysandmax-imize scores,” said Harris.

AP biology teacher Joe Moo-rehead and AP Literature andComposition teacher NicoleParker echoed Harris’ viewsabout student effort paying off.

“An AP class presents manychallenges,but thebiggestchal-lenge at times is getting yourstudents to believe in them-selves,” said Moorehead. “Be-lieving that they know the ma-terialandtheyarebecomingex-perts in their subject with prac-tice and patience.”

“I am thrilled with the per-

formance ofmy students on theAPEnglish exam this year. I en-joyed teaching this group somuch, and I ampleased to knowthat so many of them haveearned college credit for thecourse by scoring well on theexam,” said Parker. “They are atalented group of people, andthey really worked hard. It iswonderful to see them earn thisreward for their efforts.”

TwoNewRichmondstudentspassed AP exams without tak-ing the AP course.

“JulianeMolitor got a four inAP German without taking anAP German course,” said Har-ris. “I know her mother is Ger-man, but how many Englishspeaking students could get afour on the English Languageand Composition exam.”

Even more impressive toHarris was Courtney Robertswho got a five on the Psycholo-gyAPexamanda three inEuro-pean history.

“Not only did she not takeAPcourses in those subjects, shedidn’t even take Psychology orWesternCivilization, the twore-lated college-prep courses,”said Harris.

Thirteen of 15 AP students in teacher Nicole Parker’s class at New Richmond High School scored a three orhigher to earn college credit. THANKS TO ENOS PENNINGTON

For a number of years, ClermontSenior Services has been hosting publicfundraisers for a couple of reasons. Itprovides an opportunity for us to sharewhat we do with the public, and, ofcourse, it generates revenue to helpsupport the services we provide.

This is especially important in to-day’s economy. We have experiencedfinancial reductions from a number ofour funding sources. The largest reduc-tion is in the Clermont County seniorservices levy due to the decline in prop-erty values.

Over the years, our fall event hasfollowed the same format. Although,always successful, we have decided togive it a different twist this year.

“Under the TuscanMoon” is thetheme of this year’s annual TouchingHearts Gala and Auction hosted byClermont Senior Services.

The event takes place on Friday,Sept. 6, at The Oasis Conference Centerin Loveland from 6-11 p.m. Tickets are$60 per person and reserved tables of10 are $550.

During the silent auction, and keep-ing with the theme, guests will enjoy aleisurely stroll through a Tuscan Art

Gallery to observe andbid on framed artwork.Elegant gift basketsare up for bid too.

Baskets themesinclude wine, entertain-ment, travel, tailgating,pets, gardening, homeand Christmas décor,as well as other entic-ing themes. Enjoy Tus-can hors d’oeuvres anda glass of wine while

strolling.During the elegant dinner guests

will relax to the romantic sounds of astrolling violinist.

After dinner, the room comes to life.The live auction features a number ofitems up for bid.

Helping with the auction and encour-aging guests to bid is Jennifer Daltonfrom Local 12 WKRC-TV. She was a realcrowd-pleaser at last year’s auctionwith her charming personality andbubbly enthusiasm.

Frankie Hughart, manager of devel-opment and strategic relations, says,“Although we’ve previously focused oncollectibles and antiques in our fall

auction event we have now shifted toprimarily new items. We are excitedabout the new approach to this event.By having many items that are brandnew we will likely have something thatwill fit perfectly in everyone’s home.”

Also new this year is the big cashraffle. Rather than offer a few smallerprizes, cash will be awarded to thelucky winners. The first prize is expect-ed to be close to $5,000! Odds will stayat 1 in 100.

If you can’t come that night you canpurchase raffle tickets ahead of timeand online; and you do not need to bepresent to win. Don’t miss the opportu-nity to participate in this great raffle.

As always, proceeds from this eventhelp fund the programs of ClermontSenior Services, including meals-on-wheels, transportation, home care,adult day services, and more.

If you would like to make a reserva-tion or purchase raffle tickets, pleasecall 724-1255 or visit the CSS website atwww.clermontseniors.com. Creditcards are accepted.

Last week’s questionShould the minimum wage for fast-

foodworkersbedoubled from$7.25 to$15an hour and should they be given the rightto unionize? Why or why not?

“Every worker who devotes 40 hoursperweek to enable his company to profitshould make a living wage. This wageshould be based on the cost of living inthe area in which he lives. This will de-crease the need for public assistance,make higher education more attainableand be good for the local economy.

“The lack of unions iswhy this is not areality today and yes, every professionshould have one.

“The fast food industry takes in hugeprofits each year, the employees makethat possible. As 'job creators' we shouldexpect thesecorporations tocreateactu-al full timepositions thatpayafairwage.

“As it stands now, these companiesunderpay employees and pocket theprofits while our taxes pay for the pro-grams these workers need tomake endsmeet.

“Worried about the costs? Until mini-mum wage becomes a living wage, thatburger will continue to cost you muchmore than the price on your receipt.”

K.M.

“Yes, minimum wage workers de-serve to make more money at McDon-ald’s and everywhere.

“I worked at Frisch’s in college andbarely make $4 and hour many yearsago.

“This helps the social safety net tostophaving to support poor families, andhigherwages always boost the economy.

“Unions make things better for themiddle class even though conservativesignorantly complain about pensions andcosts.

“Remember: most Americans have afive-day work week and several paidholidays because of the unions fightingthe good fight for labor!”

TRog

“No,not to$15but it shouldberaisedacouple of bucks. In real terms, the $7.25/hr. is less thanwhen itwas raised the lasttime. No one can live on that.

“Also it is you and I, through the gov-ernment, that is subsidizing these corpo-rations,whether itbeMcDonaldsorWal-Mart, since so many of their employeesqualify for SNAP and/or Medicaid. Thisis corporate welfare at its worst.

“Businessmustprovidea livingwage.Does not mean that those on the bottomshould earn the same as an executive,but it doesmean that they should at leaststop being exploited.

“Lastly, the argument put forward by

McDonalds and others that this is oftenentry level jobs for teens is lame.Mostofthe workers I see in the fast food indus-try are hard pressed former middle-class citizens who are trying to get by.Good luck.”

J.Z.

“The wages people earn are deter-mined by the value of their labor to theemployer and thewillingness of employ-ees to work for what employers arewill-ing to pay.

“If there are enough people willing towork for $7.25, why should employerspay more?

“If the government forces a doublingof the wage, the price everyone else willpay for the food will increase signifi-cantly. The sales of fast foodwill decline(may not be a bad thing), and the restau-rants will employ fewer people.

“Some of the best employees willmake more money and a whole bunchwill be out of a job.”

F.S.D.

“Of course not. All that will do is in-crease inflation.When unions first cameinto the business world they served apurpose – to prevent employers fromabusing employees.

“Today, all unions do is make theunions richer while making companiesraise their prices so they can turn aprof-it. Companies are in business to makemoney, not break even.

“When the guy cutting grass at a GMplant is making $75/hr. something iswrong. One only has to look at Detroit toseewhat four decades of union and dem-ocratic policies can do to a once vibrant,growing city.

“People need to be paid a livingwage.$7.25/hr. is NOT a living wage. If youraise it to $15/hr and allow the unions inthat $15/hr. will be about $8/hr. afterunion dues.”

J.S.K.

“No to both questions! Small, private-ly-owned fast food businesses cannot af-ford that largeofa jump insalarieswhenmedical insuranceandbenefits costsaregetting ready to skyrocket, thanks toObamacare and federal intervention atevery level of a business’ operation.

“It will also cause a huge jump in thecostof theproduct that theysellandmid-dle-class and lower-class families willfind themselves not being able to grabthat fast food burger any longer.

“Andunionsneedtobephasedout,notencouraged. They no longer serve anypurpose but to keep prices high on cars,groceries, etc.

“High union wages (and even higherwages for the union leaders) made ithard forAmerican carmanufacturers tocompete against the Japaneseyears ago,which gave foreign cars a major foot-hold intoourcarmarket and ishelping tocause the bankruptcy of Detroit, Mich.,right now.

“Unions also encourage non-produc-tivity with all of the regulations regard-ing break times (an excessive number ofthemfromwhat I could seeaftervisitingaChevyplant years ago), longvacations,and job security even when a workerreally needs to be fired for incompeten-cy.

“Look at all of the companies that arestrugglingfinanciallyandI’ll betyouseeahighpercentage of themareunionized.

“Unions used to be a good thing, butnow they are strangling our companiesand putting many of them out of busi-ness. In order for this country to com-pete again in the world economy, weneed toget ridofunionsand letbusiness-es police themselves.

“If they start mistreating workersagain, the word will get out quickly viaelectronic media and the abuses will notbe tolerated as they were when unionsbecame a necessity.

“The government needs to stop over-regulating every aspect of our lives andthe operation of our businesses. We arestartingto lookmore like1940sGermanyevery day.”

C.H.

“The minimum wage should not belinked to fast foodworkers.Doubling theminimum wage will result in the loss ofjobs formany in that fieldoranyothersoaffected by a doubling of wages.

“Wehave(orusedtohave)afree-mar-ket economic system in America. Thatsystem determines the value for anygoodsorservices. IfMcDonaldsdramat-ically increases thecostofmenu itemstocover the wage increase; customers willfind other businesses who can offerthemmeals for less.”

Sometimes I wish Iwas a high-tech person.Like a while back when Imade dilly beans andtook photos of the beanspicked frommy gardenalong with photos of the

finishedbeansafter can-ning. I stillhave thephoto ofthe gardenbeans, butthe fin-ishedbeans injars photohas van-

ished and I don’t knowhow to retrieve it frommy camera. I can’t takeanother photo because,well, the beans are allgone.

The recipe makes fourjars and were so goodthat we ate a jar andgave the other threeaway. But I promise youwill love the beans, photoor not.

I was blown away bythe huge response to TomW.’s request for a 7-Upcake that was publishedyears ago in the Enquir-er. The stories alonemade me chuckle, not tomention how good all therecipes looked. I willshare both in an upcom-ing blog. Today I’m shar-ing two versions: Onefrom scratch, which Tomwanted, and anotherusing a cake mix. Somefolks don’t ice the cake,but others do so I’m shar-ing icing recipes as well.

Rita’s classic dillybeans

Friend and colleagueLeah Ochs, director ofJungle Jim’s cookingschool, has a similarrecipe and substitutesSriracha sauce to tastefor the pepper flakes.

2 generous pounds greenbeans, trimmed to fitcanning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4large heads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepperflakes, divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans lengthwise

into four hot pint jars,leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. To each pint, add 1⁄4teaspoon pepper, 1 clovegarlic and 1 teaspoon dillseed. Bring vinegar,water and salt to a boil.Pour immediately overbeans, leaving 1⁄4-inchhead space. Remove airbubbles by sliding a but-ter knife around insideedges of jars. Wipe rimsclean with damp cloth.Place seals and rings on.Process 10 minutes inboiling water bath. Theseare best eaten chilled.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you don’t want tocan these, cap and seal,cool to room temperatureand store in refrigeratorup to six months.

7-Up cake fromscratch

Here’s Donna A.’srecipe from 30 years ago.Tomwanted a from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Cream sugarand butter together andbeat until light and fluffy(about 20 minutes withan electric beater). Addeggs, one at a time andbeat well. Add flour onecup at a time. Beat inlemon extract and 7-Up.Pour batter into a wellgreased and flouredjumbo, fluted Bundt pan.Bake for 1-11⁄4 hours.

Simple lemon glazeThis is one I use for

lemon pound cake. Juststir 2⁄3 cup confectioner’ssugar with 1 tablespoonor so lemon juice.

Diane Byrne’s 7-Uppound cake usingcakemix

Diane, a Lovelandreader, told me: “I gotthis frommymom sever-al years ago. I’ve nevermade the glaze withoutthe alcohol. I’m not surewhat you’d substitute.”

Any suggestions?

1package Duncan HinesLemon Supreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instantlemon pudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Combine aboveingredients and beat 2minutes. Prepare aBundt pan (spray well)and pour mixture in.Bake 45-55 minutes.

Diana’s glazeDiane didn’t say if she

cooked the glaze, but Iwould assume the sugarhas to melt, so I’d cook itover very low heat untilsugar melts. Add bour-bon last.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever,rum is good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prickholes in cake and pour onglaze.

Doris Poore’s 7-Upcake icing

Doris, a Kentuckyreader, had a recipe us-ing a cake mix and alsohad an interesting icing.“The index card is allyellowed and stained. So,I know it’s a good one,”she said.

2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon flour

1 cup crushed pineapple,undrained

11⁄2 cups sugar1 stick margarine1 cup coconut

Cook all ingredients(except coconut) untilthick, add coconut andpour over hot cake. Topwith pecans.

We’ve all experienceit; someone comes toyour front door trying tosell you something. But isit a good idea to buy froma door-to-door salesman?One area woman saysafter the experienceshe’s had she’ll never doit again.

Jessica Jones says asalesman came to herdoor. “We were home andI got a knock on the doorfrom a gentleman. Hesays he was selling re-flective signs for yourmailbox.”

The company wasselling the signs for $20apiece and Jones boughtone. Her receipt says itwas supposed to havebeen delivered in March.

But now,more thanfourmonthslater, shestill didn’thave it.

Jonesdoes havenumberson hermailbox,

but they’re not reflectivenumbers so they may notbe visible at night ifsomeone calls for police,fire or an ambulance.

“I’m just aggravated.He took $20 fromme thatday with a promise of asign that I never re-ceived. Howmany otherpeople are out there withthat same promise that

maybe even forgot aboutit?” Jones asks.

A check with the Bet-ter Business Bureaushows the company hasreceived more than adozen complaints, mainlyfrom people who saythey too never receivedtheir reflective signs.

When I told Jonesabout the Better Busi-ness Bureau report shesaid, “Wow, wow. It justgoes to show don’t everbuy anything from adoor-to-door salesman.”

I’ve received manyletters from homeownerswho paid for magazinesubscriptions yet neverreceived anything. In onecase a homeowner didreceive the magazinesbut realized too late shehad greatly overpaid forthe subscriptions.

In Jones’ case I con-tacted the reflective signcompany owner who saidhe was busy taking careof customers to whom hehad failed to deliver thesigns. He says he gotbehind and blamed theweather for the delay.After I called he finallydid get the sign put onJones’ mailbox.

So, what should you doif a salesman comesknocking on your door?You could refuse to buy,as Jones has vowed. Or, ifyou’re interested in theproduct, I suggest you goahead and place yourorder. But, just as withGirl Scout cookies, don’tpay until they returnwith the product.

Think twice about buying at your door

Howdy Folks,The cardiac rehab is

going good. On Monday,Wednesday and Friday Ispend 1-1/2 hours each.The two machines, I’llcall peddle machines, for12 minutes each then 10minutes on the treadmill.

I have been O.K. oneach of them. They putfour wires on your chestso they can monitor yourheart as you work oneach of the machines.

The ladies that workthere take each person’sblood pressure and heartrate and check theirweight before you startexercising, then take theblood pressure duringthe time spent on themachines.

Tuesday we plantedgreen beans and they areup real good; we havethem covered so the deercan’t get at them. Theyhave eaten the greentomatoes after theyknocked the fence down.

We also planted zuc-chini last Tuesday andthey are up so we willhave plenty of zucchinitoward fall. We haveplanted spinach also forfall use.

We went to a funeralvisitation last Wednes-day, July 31. This was asister of Danny Grant;she was very active atthe Grants open house.

The Grants have somewonderful sweet corn.The one we like is thebi-color so give them acall at 625-9441. Theyalso have plenty of othervegetables for you toget. Also plenty of mulchfor fall use. They willhave broccoli plants forfall use; we always setseveral plants out.

A few years ago aboutJan. 1 I cut the flower-ettes off the broccoliplants and the nextmorning the plants wereeaten to the ground; thatwas one time I beat thedeer!!

Friday evening wasMonroe Grange meetingand election for the nextyear. It seems Ruth Annwill be the secretaryagain and this year I will

be theMaster. Wehave beenin theGrange,Ruth Annfor 58years, andI have for53 years.

Sat-urday

morning the men of theBethel United Methodistchurch had their month-ly breakfast at Frisch’sin Bethel; this is a goodtime for fellowship.

On Saturday eveningthe Monroe Grange hadtheir monthly card party.There was a good turn-out and the food wasgreat.

Ruth Ann has a JuniorGrange meeting thisafternoon, so I will get togo fishing in a lake be-hind the Grange Hall.This will be the firsttime for 10 weeks.

We have been cuttingcorn off this morning,we have 18 pints that willgo in the freezer andhave another six dozento cut off this evening.

The bee inspector washere last week and wehave four hives thatseem to be doing good.One hive sure has lots ofhoney in it. I hope to takesome honey off thisweek. I will leave plentyof honey for the bees towinter over on.

Three hives we won’ttake any off. The onehive has a swarm thattook up residence. Thisis the first time I havehad a swarm of honeybees to move in an emp-ty hive. I am sure gladfor this.

About Chessy, shelikes to lay on top of thetruck or in the truck bed.She doesn’t like to be inthe house when it is nice,but if it is raining she

will come in and lay onour laps.

If we go to the back ofour place she goes withus and lays down andwaits till we are ready tocome back up to thehouse. She waits until weare some distance fromher then she runs to getpast us.

To whet your appetitefor the noon meal todaythere was fried corn,good green beans, newpotatoes and smokedsausage along withbread, butter and straw-berry jam. Then fordessert we had canta-loupe.

Tuesday, Aug. 13, Iwill have a checkup withDr. Forman. This will beinteresting; I hope ev-

erything will be O.K. Itwill be nine weeks sincethe surgery and every-thing seems to be O.K.I’m hoping he will allowme to do more work.

There are lots ofsmall crappie beingcaught at East ForkLake. One fisherman lastweek caught 75 crappie,but only seven were 9inches long. This fellerdoesn’t keep many fish.

Start your week bygoing to the House ofWorship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God Bless All.More Later.

George Rooks is a retiredpark ranger. Rooks served for28 years with the last five asmanager of East Fork State

Park.

Corn, bee hives, Chessy all doing well
