BATAVIA — More ClermontCounty residents strugglingwith heroin addiction will getthe life-saving drug, Naloxone,thanks to a $42,250 grant fromInteract for Health, a GreaterCincinnati catalyst for healthand wellness.

The money will be used tosupply freeNaloxonekits to 800people, including clients of theClermont Recovery Center andtheir friends and family. Thekitswill be distributed over twoyears as part of the DAWN ini-tiative, or Deaths Avoided withNaloxone.

Naloxone, also known by thecommercial name of Narcan,worksbyblocking theeffectsofheroin and opioids on the brainand restoring breathing to anoverdose victim within two toeight minutes. Rescue workerssay the drug can turn someonewho appears near death into afully responsive person.

“We’ve experienced somany

overdose deaths in (Clermont)County thatwe felt we had to dosomething,” said Karen Scher-ra, executive director of theClermont County Health andRecovery Board. “This drug isjust amazing. It’s a godsend.”

Last year, that board bought120 Naloxone kits with otherfunding, but it wasn’t enough,Scherra said, because about 650to 700 people currently are intreatment at Clermont Recov-ery Center for an opiate addic-tion.

Scherra said people who arein recovery and relapse are atparticular risk of an overdosedeath.

“If theyrelapsewhile they’rein recovery, they tend to takethe same amount that they didbefore, and they don’t have thetolerance,” she said. All it takesis one relapse by an addictwho’d been abstaining, and thatcan lead to their death.”

UNION TOWNSHIP — KeithMaupin, the father of a fallenClermont County soldier, hasissued a public plea for ad-dresses of servicemen andwomenwhoaredeployedover-seas.

Through his nonprofit Yel-low Ribbon Support Center,Maupin has sent thousands ofcare packages to troops serv-ing in combat during the pastdecade. However, several box-es recently were returned,costing the center $35 to $40per package in postage, plusthe loss of edible contents thatinclude everything fromcandy to peanut butter andcrackers to various meats.

“I know we got four or fivepackagesback thispastmonth,and that’s four or five toomany,” Maupin said. “Besidesthe postage to send a packageoverseas, we waste all theproduct when it’s returned.That’s crazy.”

Maupin recently sent let-ters to 60 service people on theYellow Ribbon Support Cen-ter’s mailing list seeking veri-fication of their addresses. Ifhe doesn’t get confirmation,they’ll be dropped from thecenter’s mailing list for futurepackages.

In the meantime, the publiccan help by contacting the Yel-low Ribbon Support Centerwith mail and email addressesfor servicemen and womenwhose units are engaged incombat.

Maupin’s son, Matt, a 2001graduate of Glen Este HighSchool, joined the U.S. ArmyReserves in 2002 and was de-ployed to Iraq in February2004. The 20-year-old private

TATE TOWNSHIP —U.S. Sen.RobPortman,R-Ohio, said that he hopesthat the recent executionof anAmerican journalistby an Islamist fighter“servesasawake-upcall”for everyone, includingthe U.S. government andthe administration, “thatwe need to be more ag-gressive with regard toISIS.”

“Thesefolksareperse-cuting Christians in Iraq(and) other religious mi-norities,” Portman said

during a press confer-ence at Clermont Coun-ty’s East Fork StatePark Aug. 21. “They’realso killing a lot ofMus-lims, and theyprovide anational security risk tothe U.S. because whatthey have said openly isthey want to establish aplatformtobeabletoat-tack theWest.”

“I hope that this ter-rible tragedy of thisjournalist who was be-headed helps to in-crease awareness as towho these people are,and the fact that evildoes exist, and we haveto confront it,” Portmansaid.

James Foley, a pho-tographer who workedfor several news out-lets, was kidnappedThanksgiving Day 2012in northern Syria. Avideo that appears toshow his execution wasreleased last week.

When asked if theU.S. should pay ransomto terroristswhokidnapAmericans, as somecountries have done,Portman responded: “Ithink our policy is theright one. We don’t ne-gotiate with terrorists.”

change ourselves,” Kas-ich said.

Those services includeproviding immunizationsfor children and adults;administering the Wom-en, Infants and Childrennutritional program; andan array of inspection andlicensing services, rang-ing from plumbing to sep-tic systems to restau-rants.

AnewRotary year hasbegun, and July1markedthe changing of presi-dents for the Batavia Ro-tary Club.

A Pass the GavelBreakfast was held torecognize the accom-plishments of the cluband its members underthe direction of formerPresident Michael Chap-man and to welcome newPresidentJenniferFisch-er.

Chapman served aspresident from July 1,2013, to July 1, 2014. Dur-ing his term in office, heworked to engage everymember to be part of aclub committee or event.He focused on overhaul-ing several committeesincluding membershipand public relations, andbuilt upon the communi-ty work that had been es-tablished by the BataviaRotary Club in the past.Chapman focused onmembership recruit-ment by initiatingmonth-ly visitor days and fol-lowed the strategic planthat was developed earlyin his term.

“Rotary gives you theopportunity to build last-ing relationships,” Chap-man said. “This club hasaccomplished so manygreat events over theyears, I enjoyed beingpart of stepping it up anotch to help raise addi-tional money for ourFoundation and aware-ness in our community.”

The “foundation”Chapman referenced isthe Batavia Rotary Foun-dation, which donatesthousands of dollars tothe community eachyear. Events such as theannual spaghetti dinnerand JimBushmanMemo-rial Golf Outing help tofund the foundation andmake it possible for theBatavia Rotary to sup-port local charities, pur-chase items for theJames Sauls HomelessShelter, administerscholarships to highschool and college stu-dents, and more.

Throughout the PasstheGavelBreakfast, clubmembers received com-mendation certificatesfrom Chapman for going

above and beyond theRo-tary motto, “ServiceAbove Self.” Chapman’slast official duty as Ro-tary president was to in-duct Tyler Hawk as thenewest club member.Hawk is a financial advi-sor with Edward JonesandwassponsoredbyBa-tavia Rotary memberBarbara Bruner.

After the inductionceremony, Chapmanturned the meeting overto PastDistrict 6670Gov-ernor, Mac Hickman.

“It has been a pleasureto be your 75th presi-dent,” Chapman said.Hickman (who is also amember of the BataviaRotary Club), spent the2013-2014 Rotary year asdistrict governor. Endinghis official term one dayprior to the Pass the Gav-el Breakfast, Hickmanwas available to adminis-ter the Oath of Office tonew President JenniferFischer.

“It is a great occasiontohave theopportunity toinduct Jennifer as Presi-dent,” Hickman said.“Great service to ourclub, the district, and Ro-tary International are allthings she will continueto achieve.”

Fischer, a senior vicepresident with Park Na-tional Bank, is the firstfemale president of theBatavia Rotary in 10years. After she wassworn in, Past DistrictGovernor Peter Weiglinpresented Fischer withthe Paul Harris Fellowaward. This award isnamed for the founder ofRotary, Paul Harris, andis given to members whohave made a donation of$1,000 or more to the An-nual Fund, PolioPlus pro-gram, or any approvedRotaryFoundation grant.

As Fischer took to thepodium to introduce thenew Board of Directorsfor 2014-2015, she reflect-ed on the Batavia Club’spast, with hopes to con-tinue support of the Cler-mont County communityduring her term.

“I have somebig shoesto fill this year,” Fischersaid. “I think we’ve donea great job (supportingour community) over the

past few years, and I’mlooking forward to thenext 12 months.”

The internationaltheme for the 2014-2015Rotary year is “Light Up

Rotary,” and Fischerplans to use this theme asamarketing tool in creat-ing events and programsthat will be of interest toperspective members.

“We will be adding afew new leadership rolesto the club over the nextyear,” Fischer said. “Thiswill help get the word outabout Rotary, while westrengthen and build ourmembership.”

Gone fromthesquad isSouth-ern Buckeye Conference-Na-tional Division first-teamerCharlotte Clinger due to gradua-tion. But, in his 18th season,coach Damon Smith has reasonto be optimistic.

“Newcomer and senior Be-thany Perkins will bring a newdimension to the game with herblocking and hitting talent,”Smith said. “We also have AllieRodriquez, a senior setter whowill be instrumental in gettingtheaction togetheron thecourt.”

In early season action at Ma-deira, Felicity-Franklin jumpedout early with wins over SevenHills and Norwood Aug. 16, be-fore falling to the host Amazons.

Highlighting the early Sep-tember schedule is a rematchfrom last year’s tournamentgameatFayetteville-PerrySept.3, the home games with Wil-liamsburg Sept. 4 and Ripley-Union Sept. 8.

The Lady Cardinals are backat cross county rivalBethel-Tateon Sept. 30.

“I’m hoping for a good season

with the fewgirls that I have thisyear,” Smith said.

The Bethel-Tate Lady Tigerswill bring over a 3-19 SBAAC-American mark to the NationalDivision for 2014. Bethel-Tatelost all-league players ChristineMyersandAlexCombs togradu-ation.

Bethel-Tate won their openeragainstMariemont Aug. 16, thenfell to Georgetown.

Seniormiddle blockerAshleyCashner and junior hitter Chel-sea Cooper are back as starters.The rest of the squad includessenior defensive specialist Me-lissa Dameron; junior hittersKendall Egan andKatieMounts;junior middle blocker RachelBrown; juniordefensive special-ist Kat Simmermon; sophomoresetters Camryn Smith and BriCombs; and freshman defensivespecialist Haley Cooper.

“I really like the team chem-istry,” Gaffney said. “The girlsall get along well and are verytalented.”

After a couple contests withFelicity-Franklin in late August,the Lady Tigers host ClermontNortheasternSept.2, thenhit theroad to Blanchester Sept. 4 andMiami Valley Christian Acad-

emy Sept. 8.They’ll host their rival Lady

Cardinal friends again on Sept.30.

TheMcNicholasHigh Schoolvolleyball teamwill focus on thelittle picture early this seasonbefore broadening its scope.

The Rockets won the GirlsGreater Cincinnati League CoedCentral last season with a 10-4record.Their17-9 overall recordpropelled them into the DivisionII regional finals, just a stepaway from the state final four.

Five seniors from that teamgraduated, includingGGCLCen-tral player of the year HannahTaylor.

Setter Emily Bloemer is theonly senior who was a regularstarter last year, but she hasplenty of younger talent aroundher where she can distribute theball.

“Every hitter I have on thefloor is either a junior or sopho-more,” said head coach DennyMurphy. “They’re all playingwell and they’ve all made an im-pact. Our effort level is getting

better. It’s a growth process re-placing as many seniors as wedid.”

Junior Hannah Wuerfelmoves to outside hitter afterplaying libero last season. She isjoined on the outside by class-mate Sara Crooker, while juniorLauren Schmalz lines up as amiddle hitter. Adrian Ell is thesecond setter in McNick’s 6-2scheme, but the 6-foot sopho-morewill have ample opportuni-ty to hit and block as well.

Murphysaid the first orderofbusiness with this team is get-ting the players to be account-able to one another. From there,everything else follows.

“We start with improvementevery day (as a goal),” he said.“Then we have game goals foreveryposition, everyplayer. Forexample, we want to have 15 to20 team digs per game, depend-ing on the opponent. Or we wantourmiddles to have three blocksa game.

“We look at those goals, seehow we did and what we have todo to meet those. It’s matter ofusing the numbers to see who isperforming. And when the girlssee the numbers, they realizethey shouldwant to do better fortheir teammates.

“Later in the year we’ll startlookingat leaguechampionshipsand district titles and thosekinds of things. Right now I’drather have them play at reach-ing their end-game goals everyday.”

TheRocketswere3-2 throughtheir first five matches - includ-ing a four-set loss to neighbor-hoodrivalAndersonAug.21-butcruised to three-setwins againstDayton Carroll and PurcellMar-ian Aug.26 and 28, respectively,to kick off GGCL play.

NEWTOWN — For thefirst timesincehestartedthe program, Miami Val-ley Christian Academyfootball coach Robert Vi-lardo has a chance to playmeaningful games afterHalloween.

The Lions were ac-cepted as full-fledgedmembers of the OhioHigh School Athletic As-sociation on June 5.Should they qualify, theyoung men in purple canhave a postseason.

“That’s what we’vebeen going for,” Vilardosaid. “We make no secretabout it; our goal is towina state championship.We’d love to win a statechampionship this year.”

When Vilardo beganfive years ago with a fewfootballs and relying ondonated equipment, theLions didwhat they couldto stock their roster. As anon-OHSAA memberthey were able to usehome-schooled studentsand those from other dis-tricts who weren’t ontheir school teams.

Now, every Lion is inclass in the building offSchool Street in New-town. Afterward, they’rein two trailers that serveas makeshift weightrooms, meeting rooms orwhatever room the coachdecides to call it.

Likemanyschools thatstart out, their numbersare low. Bigger schoolshave more cheerleaders

thanMVCAdoes players.“We’re right around

20,”Vilardosaid. “We’reasmall group. Our biggestthing is we have to avoidinjury. We have to behealthy every Friday

night.”Back for Vilardo is his

junior son, Bransen, atquarterback. Other of-fensive veterans are sen-ior receiver MaliqueWard and junior runningback James Heaton.Waiting in the wings totote the ball are sopho-mores Ethan Engelhardtand Donald Tharp.

Seniors Joseph Hall-berg and David Purtellanchor an offensive linethat might not be mas-sive, but has experience.

“Our line is pretty sol-id,” Vilardo said. “We’reexcited about the factthat we have most of ouroffensive line and defen-sive line back. We lostsome tough skill guys in

Layne Cherry and AlexAmmerman.”

Cherry and Ammer-man were feature backsthat are now at the Uni-versity of the Cumber-lands, aNAIAschoolwitha winning reputation.

Despite losing theirrushing yards from, theplan remains simple; theLions will pound the foot-ball.

“I come from a longline of running footballteams,” Vilardo said. “Wefeel pretty good aboutwhat we can do.”

That philosophy led toa 6-4 record in 2013, in-cluding an undefeatedOctober. This season be-ganAug. 29 against Lock-land.Homegameswill beat Turpin or Anderson,depending on wherethose schools are on Fri-days.

The long-term plan atMVCA is to play at ShortPark behind the school. Adevelopment plan is inplace pending public ap-proval to build a footballand baseball field and arunning track. If passed,the school would contrib-ute $50,000 toward devel-oping the park and theVillageofNewtowncouldrent thefacility tooutsidegroups.

“There is a possibilitythat we could get it doneby next year,” Vilardosaid. “If Newtown bless-es us and we go forward,we’d fund-raise quicklyand we’d love to be play-ing on our turf field in2015.”

A publication of

The loss of a loved one bysuicide is often shocking, pain-ful, and unexpected, causingintense grief and overwhelm-ing emotions.

The recent death of RobinWilliams affected millions ofpeople in just that way, peoplebeyond his family and closefriends who were touched byhis incredible acting skills.Williams was often describedas a comic genius, bringinglaughter to so many throughhis movie roles and stand-uproutines, and yet we havelearned that he was dealingwith severe depression. Itseems incomprehensible that aman who spent his life makingothers happy would himself bedealing with deep sadness.

But Williams is just one ofalmost 39,000 Americans who

take their ownlives eachyear. Twoyears ago,suicide be-came the lead-ing cause ofdeath by in-jury in theUnited States,surpassing caraccidents, and50%more

people die each year by suicidethan by homicide. While therehave been improvements inattitudes toward mental ill-ness, social stigma and lack ofreal understanding still re-main.

Perhaps the tragic newsabout Williams will lead tolarger conversations aboutbecoming aware of mental

health issues, recognizing andtreating mental illness, andlearning the warning signs andeffective interventions to pre-vent suicide. Experts believethat most individuals con-templating suicide don’t wantto die; they just want to endtheir pain. Lives can be savedwhen suicidal risk or intent isdetected early.

National Suicide PreventionWeek is an annual week-longcampaign in the United Statesto inform and engage healthprofessionals and the generalpublic about suicide preven-tion and the warning signs ofsuicide. This year it occursfrom Sept. 8-13 and the themeis “Suicide Prevention: OneWorld Connected.” The focusis on raising awareness thatsuicide is a major preventable

cause of premature death on aglobal scale, as suicide claimsone million lives per yearworldwide. By drawing atten-tion to the problem of suicidein the United States, the na-tional campaign also strives toreduce the stigma surroundingthe topic, as well as encouragethe pursuit of mental healthassistance and support peoplewho have attempted suicide.

In Clermont County, theSuicide Prevention Coalitionwill host its 13th annual candle-light vigil from 7 p.m. to 8:30p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10, atUnion Township Veterans Me-morial Park, at the corner ofClough Pike and Glen Este-Withamsville Road. The vigil isheld to remember and honorthe lives of those individualslost to suicide in our county

over the past year. Anyonewhose life has been touched bysuicide is welcome to attend.

Clermont County has a 24/7crisis hotline that is availableto anyone who is experiencinga mental health crisis, who hasa loved one dealing with men-tal illness, or who just needssomeone to talk with abouttheir mental health issues:528-SAVE (7283). Please reachout, or tell others who need itabout the crisis line, as there ishope and there is help to leadto recovery.

For more information, con-tact the Clermont County Men-tal Health and Recovery Boardat 732-5400 (www.ccmhrb.org).

RobinWilliams’ death as mental health issue

Aug. 28 questionHave you participated in the

ALS ice bucket challenge?Whatdo you think of the effort?

“I have not. Yet. This phe-nomenon has gone viral andappears to be a huge moneyraiser for ALS, certainly aneedy cause. It appears thoughthat the ‘rules’ are not wellknown by all, including me. Ifthe person takes the bucketload over their head then theyonly have to donate $10, but ifthey do not get wet they haveto donate $100. Others havetaken it to mean dump thewater and then you don’t haveto donate, a form of slack-tivism (according to Wikipe-dia).

“It seems it would be betterto make the largest donationyou are comfortable with re-gardless of whether you takethe liquid chill route. Be awarethough that on Aug. 22, theDetroit Free Press reportedthat scammers were takingadvantage of the challenge.The scam usually involvessending an email containingpromises of watching videos ofthe challenge and then install-ing either spyware or malwareon the user’s computer or tak-ing them to a fake websitewhere they are asked to enterpersonal information.

“Go ahead, accept the chal-lenge, make a donation andchill.”

M.J.F.

“Former Boston Collegebaseball player Pete Frates hasALS. He is given much of thecredit for the ALS ice bucketchallenge for the cure of ALS.Due to social media (e.g. YouTube) the contributions havegone from $3 million last yearto $60 million-$80 million thisyear depending on who youbelieve. These ‘You Tube’videos moved me to send in adonation. They did not moveme to perform the deed howev-er or challenge others, yet. GoFigure!!!”

T.D.T.

Aug. 21 questionShould schools continue to

teach cursive writing?Why orwhy not?

“The one aspect of cursivethat is very helpful is for tak-ing notes during a class orlecture. By its very nature it isa form of free-flow writingthat allows information to bewritten down quicker than if

one were to resort to printingout notes. However, as moretechnology comes on line, theneed to take notes by hand maygo by the wayside.

“However, I still think cur-sive has value as another toolfor students to quickly notatefacts, concepts or ideas. I don’tthink it should totally be leftoff the teaching agenda.”

J.A.

“No, cursive is just part ofthe right wing agenda to tryand drag education back intothe dark ages with out-of-datemethods of learning. Nextthey’ll want to bring back theslide rule.”

Charles Smithson

“I think ceasing to teachcursive is a bad idea becausethe more avenues people havefor communication the betteroff the United States will be.

“This doesn’t mean everyindividual has to write in cur-sive every day. This doesn’tmean IMs, tweets and Emailsare bad. I would point out,however, the Achilles’ heel ofelectronics is electricity, andthe weakness of the Internet is,well, the internet! If anythingshould happen to either ofthose for an extended period oftime, every man would becomean island (sorry, Donne).

“Remember the ‘newmath?’It sounded better than merememorization, but now a clerkcan’t make change without acomputer. Multiculturalism?Scrapping the classics hasrobbed us of our common ref-erence points: you have toexplain everything, which youcan’t do in a sound bite.

“Thomas Sowell said thatwe’ve replaced ‘what works’with ‘what sounds good.’Thomas Gephardt said, ‘I fearfor the Republic!’”

Fall is right around thecorner and, with that, on thefirst day of fall, Sept. 23, Ohiowill be one of 47 states appro-priately observing the sev-enth annual “Falls” Preven-tion Awareness Day.

“Strong Today, Falls FreeTomorrow” is the theme forthis national observanceintended to raise awarenessabout how to prevent fall-related injuries among olderadults.

In my last column, Ishared information about thebenefits of having a personalemergency response system,worn around the neck or evenaround the wrist. Even moreimportant than having tosummon emergency re-sponse support because of afall is to prevent it in the firstplace.

According to the NationalCouncil on Aging, “OlderOhioans should not be limitedby the fear of falling. Fallingis not a normal part of agingand most falls can be pre-vented. Yet, it is not an exag-geration to call falls amongolder adults an epidemic inOhio. Falls are the leadingcause of emergency roomvisits, hospitalizations anddeaths for Ohioans age 65 and

older.”“There are

ways of en-hancing yourbalance,while havingfun in theprocess. TheLifelongLearningCenters,located inUnion Town-

ship, Miami Township andBethel, offer a variety ofclasses and programs de-signed to help you with bal-ance,” said Brenda Dotson,manager of Lifelong Learn-ing Centers for ClermontSenior Services.

The class, “Matter of Bal-ance,” is specifically struc-tured to reduce the fear offalling and improve activitylevels among older adults. Inthis class, Judy Barnes, ACEsenior fitness specialist, em-phasizes practical strategiesto manage falls.

I had to laugh as myhusband, Frank, and Itromped over to neighborTony’s home across the

field topick, of allthings,corn.

It mademechucklebecausewe plantedour cornseveraltimes andonly got a

spotty harvest. The volesate most of the seed.Frank plowed both ourfield and Tony’s andhelped plant Tony’s, aswell. Not one vole madeit across the field to To-ny’s. I guess they werehappily fed here at home.We picked a wheelbar-row full in the morningand by afternoon, it wasshucked, blanched, re-moved from the cob andfrozen. A nice accom-plishment.

Although our cornharvest was a disappoint-ment, our potatoes didwell.

After sampling 15-year-old Mary Caudill’spotato salad at a neigh-borhood gathering, Icouldn’t wait to dig someup and make it.

Creamy potatosalad

Mary found this reci-pe in one of her mom’s“old” cookbooks. “Old” toMary is anything before2000. This was in a BetterHomes & Garden cook-book from1981. Not soold to me! Here’s myslight adaptation.

6medium potatoes,about 2 pounds or so - Ilike red or Yukon gold

1 cup thinly slicedcelery

1/2 cup finelychopped onion

1/3 cup choppedsweet or dill pickle - Ilike dill

1-1/4 cups real may-onnaise

2 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons celery

seed2 teaspoons vinegar2 teaspoons pre-

paredmustard1-1/2 teaspoons salt3 hard-cooked eggs,

coarsely choppedCook potatoes in boil-

ing salted water for 25minutes or until tender.Drain. When they arecool enough to handle,peel and cube. Add cel-ery, onion and pickleCombine mayonnaise,sugar, celery seed, vine-gar, mustard and salt.Pour over potatoes andmix well. Stir in eggs.

Cover and chill thorough-ly.

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen:

Potatoes contain vita-min C for your immunesystem and potassiumfor healthy hearts andmuscles.

Egg yolks containvitamin D for bonehealth.

Easy corn souffléThis is different than

the norm, as it containscheese. Sometimes I’llthrow in a palm-full ofchopped chives, as well. Ithink you’ll like it!

3 large eggs3 tablespoons flour1generous table-

spoon sugarSeveral grindings of

black pepper16 oz. can creamed

style corn2 cups fresh corn or

frozen, thawed anddrained

4 oz. shreddedMex-ican cheese blend orMonterey Jack

1/2 red bell pepper,chopped or 2 oz. jarpimientos, drained(optional)

1/3 cupmilkPreheat oven to 350.

Spray an 8-inch bakingdish. Place in oven whilepreparing soufflé. Withmixer, combine eggs,

flour, sugar and peppertogether and then beat onhigh speed until smooth.Stir in both kinds of corn,cheese, peppers if usingand milk. Pour into hotbaking dish and bake,uncovered, 55 minutes oruntil set. Let stand 15minutes before serving.

Did you know?Corn is not a vegeta-

ble, as most of us think,but a grain. It’s a goodsource of protein andfiber.

Drying herbsSome of you have

asked how to dry fresh

herbs. You can do it acouple of different ways.The old fashioned way isto strip about an inch ortwo of leaves from thebottom of the stems, thentake several sprigs andhang them up togetherupside down (remember,nutrition starts in theroot and works its way upto stems and leaves) tiedwith string or a rubberband, to dry away frommoisture and light.

Or strip leaves fromstem, chop coarsely andplace in single layer onscreen or towel to dry.You’ll know they’reready when they are

crisp. Store away fromheat and light.

Rising utility rates areprompting many Ohioansto consider switching toalternative energy pro-viders. Many are findingthe low rates for whichthey initially signed updidn’t remain that way.

Larry Dowler of Liber-tyTownshipsaystherateschargedbyhisalternativeenergy supplier, Cincin-nati Bell Energy, variedvery little for about twoyears.

“It wasaround 6cents perkilowatthour,”Dowlersaid.

The rateDowlerpaid was inline withthat

charged by Duke EnergyOhio – until late last year.

Hesays, “Ididn’t really

realize it but it went to8.99 cents per kilowatthour and then did thesame thing for the Janu-ary billing.”

That higher electriccharge meant Dowler’sutility bills started to soarfor his all-electric home.

“It went to $600 for theFebruary bill. I said, ‘Waita minute.’ I started re-searching it and found itwent from 6.15 cents perkilowatt hour to 8.99 centsthen to 9.99 cents for twomonths,” Dowler says.

Dowler called Cincin-nati Bell Energy to com-plain and learned he hadbeen switched to a vari-able rate when the fixedrate, for which he hadsigned up, ended.

Dowler isn’t alone.Many people with vari-ableenergyratesalso sawtheir bills jump. He says

Cincinnati Bell Energytold him it raised ratesjust as other companieshad done.

The Duke Energy billhas an area called “Priceto Compare” which tellsyou how much Duke ischarging for electricitythat month. Dowler saysafter checking that ratehe realized he’d beencharged a total of $600more than ifhehadstayedwith Duke Energy.

I saw this first hand af-ter I signed up with an al-ternative natural gas sup-plier. The advertised ratewas very low but it onlylasted a fewmonths. Sureenough, right after thatguaranteed low rate peri-od ended I was chargedmore than Duke’s pricebecause I now had a vari-able rate.

There are 47 different

energy suppliers certi-fied toserveDukeEnergyOhio customers. Many ofthose companies offervariable rates, so Dowlersays he’s learned it’s agood idea to carefullycheck your bill everymonth to see exactlywhatrate you’re beingcharged.

Dowler says, “I talkedto a friend at church andsaid, ‘Do you realize this?Did you check your bill?’Hegothisnextbill andhiswas 8.99 cents per kilo-watt hour. Previously itwas 5.8 cents per kilowatthour.”

ACincinnati Bell Ener-gy spokeswoman said thehigh winter rates weredriven by an unusualspike indemanddueto theextremely cold weatherin much of the nation.Rates were similar to that

charged by other energyproviders with variablerate plans.

Since then the rateshave come back down.

Bottom line, when yousign up for a low, fixed,starter rate be aware thatwill likely increase whenthe deal ends.

Erik Kloeker of theworld-renowned PickledBrothers Circus will at-tempt an exciting newjuggling record at JungleJim’s in Eastgate, at theOldWest Festival KickoffParty. The record, whichwill involve juggling dan-gerous objects, has never

been attempted.The record attempt

will take place at 6 p.m.Sept. 4.Therecordandac-companying event willkickoff thePickledBroth-ers’ performances at theOld West Festival in Wil-liamsburg, which runsweekends from Sept. 6through Oct. 12.

Kloeker, 24, has beenjuggling since age 13 andhas been performingwiththe circus since age 14.Kloeker is no stranger tobreaking world records;

in 2007 he smashed theworld record for jugglingupside-down, a feat thattook him around the globewhen hewas asked to per-form on the GuinnessWorld Records’ televisionshows in Milan, Italy andBeijing, China.

In addition to upside-down juggling, Kloekermorerecentlyentered therecord book for his featsin Axe Juggling. Success-fully beating records ineach country gave Kloek-er the unique distinction

of becoming a record-breaker on three conti-nents and earned him aplace in the GuinnessBook of World Records in2011, 2012 and 2014.

In order to break therecord, Kloeker must ful-fill all record guidelines,and perform at least 25catches. To verify theseguidelines the record at-tempt will be witnessedbyOldWest Festival own-er Drew Deimling andCampbell County Proper-ty Valuation Administra-tor Daniel Braun.

The record attemptwill take place as part ofan opening celebrationfor the Old West Festival,the event will include aperformance by RiderKiesner and other OldWest Festival perform-ers.

Travis Fessler, co-own-er of the PickledBrothersCircus, said, “Erik hasbeenpracticingveryhardto break this record. I justhope the record is all hebreaks, our insurance isalready through theroof.”

The Old West Festivalis a permanent old westtown in Williamsburg. Itwill be open Saturdaysand Sundays from Sept. 6through Oct. 12. Alongwith the Pickled BrothersCircus, daily entertain-ment will include gun-fights, horse shows,medi-cine shows, magic, music,food, horse and trainrides, and much, muchmore.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
