Fees for the Colerain Town-ship impound lot are going upApril 1. No fooling.

Colerain Township PoliceChief Mark Denney trusteesMarch to approve a hike in fees.He says the increase keeps thetownship’s fees comparable tothose collected by Cincinnatiand Hamilton County.

Vehicles can be towed to thelot if involved in a criminal vio-lation, Denney said.

“It’s not applicable to any towwhere the driver was not want-ed, impaired, under suspensionor otherwise arrested,” he said.“Our citizens and visitors willnot pay these fees for their towsunless they fall into one of thosecategories.”

Denney said none of the feescollected by the township arebeing increased. Only thecharges paid to tow truck driv-ers are rising.

Beginning April 1, fees are$150 for a tow, which is an in-crease of $25, an administrativefee of $30 and a $25 daily stor-age fee. Denney said tow truckdrivers would also receive a $80fee for removal when an acci-dent requires more than sweep-ing up broken glass or collect-ing a license plate from theroad.

None of the increases are re-lated to fees collected by thetownship including an indoorstorage fee of $40 and an ex-tended stay fee of $75 for carsthat remain in the impound lot

for five or more business days.There is also a $10 environmen-tal fee and a $5 weather protec-tion fee. The township charges a3 percent convenience fee if acredit card is used to pay. Allthese administrative, storageand credit card fees remain un-changed.

Denney said his departmentreimburses the four tow compa-nies on its rotation list about$100,000 of the impound lot rev-enue annually.

He negotiated with the towcompanies, reaching an agree-ment regarding fees and someother issues.

The township and will limitthe number of tow companieson its list to four. Under theagreement, the tow companieswill not charge to tow ColerainTownship Police Departmentvehicles. The township will re-ceive half of the storage fees forvehicles not being held by thepolice department and the towcompanies will pay half of anyincome generated from sellingunclaimed vehicles for scrap tothe department. They will storevehicles that overflow from thetownship’s impound lot.

The agreement also says thatin any month where the reim-bursement charges due to thetow companies meets or ex-ceeds $750, the tow companywill reduce the amount owed bythe police department by 20 per-cent.

Denney said the adoption ofthe 20 percent reduction modi-fication alone could reduce theimpound lot operating expenses

by at least $20,000 using 2014statistics and $30,000 using fig-ures from 2013.

The new agreement with thetow companies is effective forfive years.

The impound lot is behind

the former Parks and ServicesDepartment office at 4725Springdale Road. The area isfenced and has slats in the fenc-ing to shield nearby ColerainPark and Colerain ElementarySchool from the lot and has

space for about 60 vehicles.All fees will be paid at the

Colerain Police Department inthe township’s governmentcomplex at 4200 SpringdaleRoad.

Colerain Township has negotiated a new contract with the four towing companies.

GREEN TWP. — The HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office willcontinue providing deputies tohelp patrol the township foranother three years.

At their board meetingMarch 9, the Green Townshiptrustees approved a resolutionauthorizing an agreement forpolice protection serviceswith the sheriff’s office andHamilton County.

Trustee Vice ChairmanTriffon Callos said the town-ship will pay the county$456,000 annually for five dep-uty patrol officers from thesheriff’s office. The three-year agreement is effectiveApril 1 and runs throughMarch 31, 2018.

“That rate is the same asour current contract with thecounty,” Callos said. “It wasvery important to me that werespected that figure. Wewere very fiscally responsibleand took all parties into con-sideration in this agreement.”

As part of the agreement,he said the sheriff’s office will

also deputize five GreenTownship police officers –three detectives, one evidencetechnician and one traffic in-vestigator – giving them coun-tywide jurisdiction and allow-ing the sheriff’s office to callupon those township officerswhen needed to assist withcases throughout the county.

In return for the deputizedtownship officers, Callos saidthe sheriff’s office will pro-vide an additional five patrolofficers each year to the town-ship at no cost.

“It’s a unique approach andit’s beneficial to both parties,”he said.

Green Township PoliceChief Bart West said he’spleased with the agreement,as the extra staffing from thesheriff’s office allows thetownship police department toimplement a seventh policebeat seven days a week, 24hours a day.

“We knew we could not pro-vide a seventh beat withoutcoming to a deal with the sher-iff’s office,” he said.

“It’s a good agreement forthe taxpayers and citizens of

Green Township.”In addition to the new con-

tract being cost effective forthe township, West said thetownship also benefits fromhaving access to all the re-sources of the sheriff’s office,including the sheriff’s heli-copter, special response team,criminal investigations sec-tion and bomb unit.

“We’ll continue to have allthose resources at our dispos-al,” he said. “We’re happy withthe agreement. It’s good forthe sheriff’s office and thetownship police department.”

Callos said top-notch safetyservices are a reason peoplechoose to live in Green Town-ship and the sheriff’s deputiescomplement to the township’sprofessional police force.

He said he’s happy thetownship and the sheriff’s of-fice are able to continue theirlongstanding relationship.

“It’s a very important part-nership,” he said. “I appreci-ate the Sheriff coming to thetable. I think we reached anagreement that benefits ev-eryone.”

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than

my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of

equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking

engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their

most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.

Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on

my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.

Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.

remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls

Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus

I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.

SaladMix together:

4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

DressingWhisk together:

2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

“Where did you go to highschool?” The question is oftenasked; because in many ways itdefines who we are – and howothers perceive us.

I’m reminded of the time Iwas eating lunch at XavierUniversity with a group offellow freshman; graduatesfrom St. Xavier, La Salle, Rog-er Bacon and Woodward. Sur-prisingly, I was the center ofattention - simply for havingattended Elder. They told theirpersonal stories of being at“The Pit.” Those who playedfootball or basketball thereconsidered it to be the high-light of their high school ca-reer.

I was envied because of myschool’s spirit, expressed bywhat they considered to be“the best cheering section inthe city.” “What a show! Whatwas it like to be a part of it?How did it happen?” The com-plimentary commentary put

me on a pedes-tal.

Taking fulladvantage ofmy 15 minutesof fame feel-ing, I thought-fully replied,“Well…it waslike being at arock concert, aspiritual reviv-al, and a prison

riot – all at the same time! Butit didn’t happen by chance. Thekarma was created by a care-fully-scripted warm-up act.”Captivated, they wanted toknow more. It was time for meto tell the Wyatt Earp Story.

In the rebellious ‘60s, theact of passing-up “pretty” girlswho walked in front of thecheering section drew the ireof parents, school adminis-trators – and the girls whodidn’t get passed-up. To restoreand maintain order, Cincin-

nati’s most trusted law en-forcement officer was calledupon. He positioned himselfdirectly in front of the cheer-ing section; to keep trafficmoving. His no-nonsense man-ner earned him the nick name“Wyatt Earp,” after the fear-less lawman of Western folk-lore - made popular by thetop-rated television show.

To pay him homage for a jobwell done, as part of the pre-game ritual, the cheering sec-tion would sing the show’scatchy theme song. Beginningslow and softly: the words,“Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,brave courageous and bold.Long live his fame, and longlive his glory, and long may hisstory be told,” were sung inperfect harmony.

Over and over and over thechorus continued; increasinglygetting louder and faster. Pre-tending not to hear, the iconicMr. Earp would go about his

important work. Then, at justthe right moment, in one con-tinuous motion, he would turnaround, face the cheering sec-tion, and thrust his arm high inthe air.

His “gentlemen start yourengines” signal ignited a roarof pandemonium! As the teamraced onto the field the cheer-ing section was already in highgear – anticipating anothervictory lap.

The spirit of Wyatt Earpstill exists in the hearts andminds of those who lived it.Many argue over which end ofthe stadium he’s buried. And,at crucial times, when the ballbounces in the Panthers favor,many believe it’s because Wy-att Earp is still working hismagic.

When homeowners feelthey may have foundationcracks or basement seepage,how much should they expectto pay? Can the cost ever be$0? Homeowners that pay forany repair that is the wrongrepair have just paid toomuch.

A highlyrated contrac-tor on AngiesList quoted a75-year-oldwidow about$30,000 be-cause she hada minor rec-curring crackin the hallwayin the centerof the house.The same

contractor quoted $20,000 to aCincinnati police officer for aminor crack in their founda-tion.

When I said no to any typeof foundation repair, the wid-ow asked to give me a hug.

The police officer’s housedid have some other minordeficiencies that could berepaired. The cost for thefoundation settlement repairwas less than $1,000. The ex-pectation was that I wouldsuggest the $20,000 repair. Ijust smiled and was happy Ihelped them save money.

Yesterday, I saw a clientthat had several cracks in theconcrete beams above thegarage doors. He had contact-ed a contractor first. They

sent out their best person,who proceeded to suggest soilpressure on the opposite endof the house was causing thecracks and gave proposals of$6,000 and $8,000. The truecause was the rusting of steelreinforcing rods inside thewall. The suggested repair forthese cracks will probably beless than $2,000. I was satis-fied that using my knowledgeof structures saved this home-owner a large amount of mon-ey.

The free estimates fromcontractors can be extremelyexpensive and it is very com-mon that the salesmen fromcontractors not understandingthe causes of the foundationissues or transfer of stressesand forces. Even if the con-tractors suggested repair mayseem appropriate, it is verycommon that the salesman tonot understand the repair mayonly be a partial repair in-stead of a full solution to theproblem.

About four years ago, ourclient had contracted with awell known waterproofingcompany to repair the rearwall of their home. They in-stalled steel beams, but thewall kept moving so they in-stalled more beams. This wasan incomplete repair. Finally,the deck and brick fell of theback of the house. They of-fered a minimal reimburse-ment to have the client goaway and would not give hertheir insurance information

for her to file a claim. In previous articles I have

written and published in thecommunity newspapers andon Angies List, I have beenaddressing different types offoundation movement andbasement leaks. By providingthis data, I have been trying tohelp protect the homeownerfrom spending money need-lessly with a contractor. An-gies List members shouldread all of the reviews forcontractors. Angies List givesa higher significance to re-views from members thathave actually hired the com-pany, which skews the re-views. If you read all of thereviews, including ones frommembers that have only re-ceived an estimate, a betterunderstanding of the companymay be received.

To answer my first ques-tions, sometimes the founda-tion repair costs may be $0and any amount over thatshould be spent in confidenceof having the right solution.Any money spent on the im-proper repair is too much. Theengineer is your first step tofind if any repair is suggestedand what may be the mosteconomical and effectiverepair.

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to create

open-container districts much likethose in New Orleans or Memphis,Tennessee, appears likely to passthe Ohio Legislature this year, andCincinnati officials hope the billbecomes law by Opening Day,April 6. Is this a good idea or a badidea? Why or why not?

“I think it is a good idea if youwant the open container districtto have the smell of fresh urine,with the owners of establish-ments needing to basically hosedown all around their placeseach morning to eliminate theodor.

“I think right now, there is

enough opportunity to drink,with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that a personcan go from one bar to the next

without having to bring their al-cohol with them.”

C.S.

“The Reds now start theOpening Day game at 4:15. Theyshut off Freedom Way and JoeNuxhall Way for that day. Theyhave three to four very large‘beer trailers’ setup and 16-ounce plastic bottles are sold,one per customer for $5. Theopen container is controlledwithin that area. I am not surethe benefit of expanding this be-yond certain special Redsgames such as the All Star gameand playoffs.

COLERAIN TWP. — In orderfor a team to qualify to thestate bowling tournament,they have to bowl — together— as a team. That’s preciselyhow the Colerain HighSchool boys’ bowling team

became the first team inschool history to qualify forthe big stage.

The Cardinals didn’t justqualify either, they nearlywon the whole thing. Cole-rain finished fourth at the Di-vision I state tournamentMarch 14 in Columbus.

“It’s because they bowl asa team. They help each other,lift each other up,” said Col-erain coach Debbie Potznerprior to the state tourna-

ment. “This year more thanany other year, they’re reallya team.”

Potzner echoed that senti-ment after state when shetold Enquirer contributorJarrod Ulrey: “It’s our firsttime at state and I’m very ex-cited and proud of these bow-lers. Making it here is an ac-complishment in itself. Wejust really came together as a

COLUMBUS — It was a downyear for Cincinnati area wres-tlers, especially West Siders, atthe OHSAA wrestling tourna-ment March 12-14 at Ohio State’sSchottenstein Center. Only adown year in terms of the podi-um.

St. Xavier senior Cole Jonesand Middletown Madison juniorNick Svarda were the only localstate champions.

Jones won the Division I 220-pound state championship witha 3-1 win in overtime over Olm-sted Falls’ Noel Caraballo. Thewin capped a 41-0 season. It’s thesecond straight season that St.X has had an undefeated statechampion (Joe Heyob at 170 in2014).

“It feels great. It feels like itall paid off,” Jones said. “It’ssurreal. I didn’t know it was go-ing to be like this.”

In the match, Jones said hewas a little upset because hewanted to “beat him worse but itended up working out.”

Jones said he couldn’t thinkof a better way to end his highschool career: “Undefeated,state champ,” he said through a

grin. “It’s great when you have a

kid come in as a freshman andhe just does what you ask...itshows,” St. Xavier coach TomWynn said. “It’s fun to see himwhen he’s in his own element,just getting it done.”

Northwest’s Keyon Hun-tley (126) lost his first-round

match and his first consolationmatch. Julian Daniels (182) wonhis first-round match, but losthis second. In consolationrounds, he lost to Mike Lewis ofParma.

“Julian experienced this be-fore through his brother, now hegot to show his talents,” North-west head coach Nick Maffey

said. For Keyon, making it to thestate tournament as junior, he’splaying with house money. I toldhim to just have fun.”

La Salle’s three sophomoresat state were Corey Shie (132),Eric Beck (138) and AndrewSams (145). Shie was the loneLancer to win a match and nonereached the podium.

team this year, especially inour bakers.”

In the individual games, theCardinals were led by juniorNick Poppe, who racked up a576 three-game series; the 25thbest tally of all the boys at theDivision I meet. Poppe was fol-lowed by freshman Darius

Butler who rolled a 563 series.Senior Austin Piotrowski had a547.

Before the state tourna-ment, Potzner said her teamwas excited especially beingthe only Cincinnati team toqualify and they needed to staycalm.

“They know how to bowl,”Potzner said. “They’ve reallybecome a team this year. Theyknow each others bowlingstyles and they help each other.

They keep each other calm andthey have a whole lot of fun to-gether.”

Seniors Andrew Ward andDonovan Murray have alsostood out as leaders.

Potzner said the three sen-iors have been around forawhile. “They’ve (seniors)come a long way since the verybeginning. As a coach that’s ex-citing to watch,” she said.

The Cardinals had a ratherremarkable turnaround this

year, too. “Last year, at districts we

came in last,” Potzner remem-bered, adding that she wouldhave been surprised had lastyear’s team made state, butthis year there was no surprise– she knew her was legitimate.

“They have a lot of heartand they give it their all everytime they go out there,” Potzn-er said.

KETTERING — Lakota Westknew it would be tested. Theywere, and they passed.

The Firebirds beat McAuley68-59 March 11in a Division I re-gional semifinal at KetteringFairmont.

For the Firebirds, it’s theirsecond straight trip to the re-gional final where they’ll meetMount Notre Dame, a team theylost to 54-50 in the season open-er this year. Last year, LakotaWest lost to eventual statechampion Princeton in the re-gional final.

“What a great game, I lovedit, that was so much fun,” saidLakota West coach Andy Fish-man. “We got their best shot.They’re a really good team, andour guys were game.”

Lakota West played its brandof basketball. They gave McAu-ley fits with full-court pressure,and they hit shots. Lakota Westsenior Lauren Cannatelli, aDayton signee, had a game-high24 points and led the Firebirdsat the free throw line, hitting 11of 14, many coming down thestretch to help put McAuleyaway.

“We have girls that won’t letus lose, that’s how I truly feel,”Fishman said.

Lakota West started the sec-ond half on an 11-0 run andlooked like it would pull away,but McAuley’s resilience pipedup when it needed to. Mohawksenior Emily Vogelpohl, aWright State commit, scored 16of her team-high 22 points in thesecond half. Her sophomoreteammate, Lexi Chrisman had17 second-half points for theMohawks (finished with 20).

“I never lost faith in thisteam,” said McAuley coach DanWallace. “Today I thought weplayed great, a couple miscueshere and there. West made acouple runs. Basketball’s agame of runs, theirs were just alittle longer than ours.”

With 2:17 left in the game,McAuley got it back to 57-52 butthat was as close as the Mo-hawks would get. In the finaltwo minutes, Lakota West went9 for 10 from the foul line.

“Kudos to West, that’s a greatbasketball team,” Wallace said.“Our girls played so hard, we doevery night all season longthese girls have given me ev-erything they’ve got. That’s thekind of team ... that’s the reasonyou coach.”

Lakota West junior guardNia Staples didn’t miss a shot inthe game (9 for 9) and finishedwith 20 points and five re-bounds. Junior guard DanielleWells had nine points and 10 re-bounds.

Vogelpohl scored her 1,000thcareer point on a 3-pointer at thebuzzer before halftime.

By Roger Bacon standards,a 13-12 season and districtchampionship loss is a disap-pointment. But, consideringhow much talent the squad willreturn next season, the pro-gram is encouraged by the pro-gress the inexperienced Spar-tans displayed this season.

The Spartans won their sev-enth straight Greater CatholicLeague division title, despitefielding a roster of five newstarters and just one senior.Just three players with varsityexperience returned from a22-win team that graduatedeight seniors. Next year, theSpartans will enjoy the oppo-site of that mass exodus. Onlyguard Monty Webley will grad-

uate, while the rest of the Spar-tans will be back.

“It’s going to be hard to notbe able to come back and playwith them,” said Webley. “Thetalent of this team was by farthe best it’s been in my fouryears here.”

The talented players whobroke out in their first varsityseason include sophomoresCraig McGee, Justin Johnson,and James Johnson. All threeforwards averaged double fig-ures in scoring and over fourrebounds per game this sea-son. McGee also led the team inassists with 3.8 per contest.

The Spartans knew thatthey had the odds stackedagainst them this year. Theyended the season proud thatthey were able to prove theirdoubters wrong and maintain

the program’s tradition of re-cent GCL dominance. Nextyear, they will be favored tostretch their title streak toeight seasons in a row.

“We knew we had a youngteam and that it was going to bea pretty tough season,” saidWebley. “A lot of people didn’texpect us to win the GCLagain.”

Rather than wondering howthey let this season end in thedistrict final loss to North-ridge, the Spartans can lookahead with optimism. They leta commanding first half leadslip away, falling 74-61. Losinga game they had in their graspjust four days after toughingout a 55-53 win over SummitCountry Day in the districtsemifinal was an appropriateend to Roger Bacon’s season.

They proved that they havetalent to compete with any Di-vision III team in the area.They also showed that theyneed another few months ofseasoning before they canclose out big games with con-sistency. They defeated con-ference rival Purcell Marian inovertime earlier in the season,then lost to the Cavaliers by 25in their rematch a month later.They lost five games in a rowdown the stretch, thenbounced back to defeat NorthCollege Hill by two in the reg-ular season finale.

The Spartans will use expe-rience to their advantage nextseason. That experience cou-pled with the squad’s returningtalent should make Roger Ba-con a favorite to make a deeperpostseason run in 2016.

EASTER EGGHUNTS

This is the time ofyear to be sure you notonly deal with reputablecompanies when doingyour tax returns, butmake sure the peoplewith whom you areworking are also hon-est.

A Cincinnati areawoman writes, “I filedmy taxes Feb. 2, andwas aware I had owedthe IRS $911. I was alsoaware I wasn’t going toreceive a tax refund.”

She says the tax pre-parer to whom she wentknew she wasn’t going toreceive a refund. But,she was told to sign a

“little blackbox” andsays, “Theydid not showme what Iwas signingoff nor didthey tellme.”

A fewdays latershe says she

received a call sayingher refund of $17.05 hadarrived and that thecompany also receivedan IRS check of $634,which it took as its taxpreparation fee.

The IRS says, “It isimportant to choose

carefully when hiring anindividual or firm toprepare your return.Every year, these typesof tax preparers faceeverything from penal-ties to even jail time fordefrauding their cli-ents.”

So when you choose apreparer be sure theyhave an IRS PreparerTax Identification Num-ber. Ask if they have aprofessional credentialsuch as a Certified Pub-lic Account or Attorney.

Check on the prepar-er’s service fees upfrontand avoid those whosefee is based on a percent

of the refund you re-ceive.

Always make sureany refund you receiveis sent to you or directdeposited into your bankaccount. Do not allowyour refund to be depos-ited into the preparer’sbank account.

Make sure the prepar-er can submit your re-turn electronically.

Never sign a blank orincomplete income tax

return. Make sure the tax

preparer signs the re-turn and includes theirPTIN number as re-quired by law.The pre-parer must then give youa copy of the return.

Finally, any tax pre-parer whom you suspectof tax fraud should bereported directly to theIRS.

Check for honesty with tax preparer
