Just shy of eight months af-ter its grandopening,RootBeerjunction closed its doors forgood.

Radio personality Bill Cun-ningham’s restaurant in theMa-deira Train Depot, 7701 Rail-road Ave., had its last day ofbusiness Monday, Nov. 17.

“From my understanding itwas due to lack of business,”Madeira City Manager TomMoeller said.

Cunningham has a five-yearlease with the city for the TrainDepot. Moeller said the city iswaiting for a formal request forthe property to be sublet or forthe lease to be broken.

Moeller said city will startlooking for a new tenant for thedepot. An announcement thatwas sent out through the city’slistserv on Nov. 19 said thesame. Moeller said the city willbe taking into considerationthat the depot is now part of theMadeira Historic District, cre-ated by the passage of Issue 13,when it is looking for a new ten-ant.

Root Beer Junction opened

March 22. It served hot dogs,sandwichesand icecream.Cun-ningham owned the restaurant,but it was operated by his sonand daughter-in-law Evan andJennie Cunningham.

“The root beer, ice creamconcept did not work. No one isto blamebutwe. The city ofMa-deirahasbeenavery, verygoodlandlord. The Root Beer Junc-tionnowexists only inmymem-ory. As far as the future, it willbe up to the city to decide,” BillCunningham said.

Sycamore High School Re-source Officer Paul Payne re-members when Sony CD play-ers were the only technologythat caused problems forschool administrators.

Smart phones and easy ac-cess to the Internet havechanged that.

Now some administratorsworry almost as much aboutpolicing social media use asthey do about academics.

Payne said his role is to edu-cate students and parentsabout the benefits and dangersof social media usage.

“As parents, we put moni-toring software on the homecomputer, butwedon’t think toput it on the cellphone,” hesaid.

Payne said when a new so-cial media site starts to gainpopularity he gets on to ex-plore it because everythingchanges so rapidly.

Monfort Heights residentJimmy Dinsmore says all so-cial media should worry par-ents. Dinsmore, who has a 12-year-old daughter, is a socialmedia strategistwhooccasion-ally gives talks at schools.

“You have to pay attentionto what is going on with yourkid, on whatever formatthey’re on,” Dinsmore said.

“And not just pay attentionto your kid, but all of theirfriends. For Tweens and youngteens Instagram is a popular

one. Most of that is transpar-ent, where a parent can seewhat is being posted and said.However, friends can send pri-vate messages and parentsshould be checking that regu-larly.”

Dinsmore said Snapchat isparticularly problematic.

“This ismuch less transpar-ent,” he said. “Friends (orstrangers) can send your childa video or photo message witha very brief message. The im-age or video stays up for only abrief timeandthendisappears.But this does notmean it didn’tmakeout onto thecloudand In-ternet.Andbecausewhat isbe-ingsentdisappearsquickly, it’sharder for parents to know

what is being sent amongsttheir kids.

“KIK is another one. This isa seemingly harmlessmessag-ing service. However, it’s be-comecommon for sexual pred-ators and perverts to patrolKIK due to its somewhat anon-ymous methods. As a parent,there is no realmerit or reasonfor a child to have KIK, so Idon’t allow my daughter tohave an account.

“The real action for a teen isgoing down on Twitter. All par-ents should have a Twitter ac-count and follow their childand their friends.”

Payne said the nature ofhow students make threatsagainst the school has alsochanged.

Earlier this school year, aSycamoreHighSchool studentposted a threat on Instagram.

“The issue is we are havingstudents get angry now andthey want to vent online rightthen insteadof goinghomeandventing to their parents or afriend and sometimes theyaren’t thinking about the con-sequences. It is the logisticsthese kids are trying to dealwith because the Internet is intheir face all the time,” he said.

Police say that the studentwas in the high school’s mediacenter when he posted a photoof a silver handgun to Insta-gramwith amessage threaten-ingviolenceagainst theschool,

FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Many schools are having to monitor the use of social media by the students. A number of them restrict access tosites such as Facebook and Twitter during school hours.

ing expectations has beena common complaintfrom residents, withmany likening it to a con-cession stand, duringpub-licmeetings since the res-taurant’s opening.

Many residents ex-pressed their dislike ofthe restaurant in the sur-vey the Economic Devel-opmentCommittee issued

inAugust aboutwhat theywould like to see in theMuchmoreHistoric Area,which contains the depotand the Hosbrook andMuchmore houses.

“The Root Beer Junc-tion is a lousy excuse for arestaurant – the root beerisn’t special and the foodis inconsistent,” one re-sponse read.

Others called it a fail-ureorsaid theywould liketo see a restaurant resi-dent would actually go to,unlike Root Beer Junc-tion.

Madeira City Councilapproved Cunningham’sproposal for the depot in2013 by a vote of 5-2. Thecity received eight pro-posals for the property.Root Beer Junction wasone of three finalists.

officials from the Mont-gomery Police Depart-ment said.

The picture waspulled froma third-partywebsite, police believe.Other students informedteachers and the studentwas promptly removed,police said.

Payne said when hesees a threat or a studenttells him of about one, hefinds it and determinesthe level of the threat.Hethen investigates andsometimes sends outsubpoenas or searchwarrants to the socialmedia companies. Hesaid if an investigationresults in criminalcharges it isusuallymen-acing or telecommunica-tions harassment.

School officials ac-knowledge the chal-lenge, and say they arehaveprocedures andpol-icies in place.

Sycamore Communi-ty Schools Chief Infor-mation Officer MelindaBriggs said she keeps aneye on the district’s so-cial media channels andhow students interactwith it as part of the com-munications umbrella.

Briggs said since thedistrict encourages stu-dents to bring their owndevices to school, it hasto be articulate the cor-rect way to use them andmake sure students un-derstand the conse-quencesofusingthemin-correctly.

“We encourage stu-dents toreport if theyseesomething suspicious.That is what happenedwith the Instagram inci-dent. A student reported

itand itwasoveraboutasquickly as it began,”Briggs said.

Briggs said the dis-trict’s acceptable usepolicy for social media isoutlined in the studenthandbooks and lists thepunishments for violat-ing the policy.

“We haven’t had any-thing get out of hand,”Briggs said.

She added she has notseen many students us-ing Yik Yak. She said theplace she has seen themost traffic onYikYak isBlue Ash ElementarySchool because it is soclose to University ofCincinnati Blue Ash.

“We’re keeping an eyeon social media and howstudents are using it,”she said.

“We have not experi-enced Yik Yak,” Prince-ton High School Princi-pal Charles Ogdan said.“However, we do have todeal with Twitter, Face-book, Instagram (andothers).

“Each case is dealtwith on a separate basisunless there are repeat-ed instances which, bydefinition, is bullying.”

Interim Superinten-dent Ed Theroux said oc-casional issues have sur-faced from time to time,but nothing widespread.

“Staff monitor and re-fer to administrationwhen appropriate,” The-roux said. “Administra-tors investigate andmake decisions based onthe investigations.

“We have had a fewcyber bullying incidentsover the past few years,but we have not hadmany.

“We are always on thelookout for additional so-cialmedia thatcouldpos-sibly be used in an inap-propriate method,” The-roux said.

Princetondefinesper-sonal communication de-vices as “cellular andwireless telephones,pagers/beepers, per-sonal digital assistants(PDAs), BlackBerries/Smartphones, iPods andiPads. It includes WiFi-enabledorbroadbandac-cessdevices, two-wayra-dios or video broadcast-ing devices, laptops, andotherdevices thatallowaperson to record and/ortransmit, on either a realtime or delayed basis,sound, video or still im-ages, text, or other infor-mation.”

An electronic deviceis one that can store, or-ganize and play audio orvideo files, as well as agame played by manipu-lating images on a videodisplay, according to thePrinceton policy. Exam-ples are cameras, laptopcomputers, iPads, porta-ble CD players and laserpens among others.

Though it cameearlierin theyear thanusual, thearea’s first snowstormcaused only minimalproblems in the area.

“All our roads areclear and the event didnot put a major dent inour salt supply,” Love-land City Manager DavidKennedy said.

MadeiraCityManagerTomMoeller said the ser-vice department was onthe roads at 4 a.m. andhad them cleared by 11a.m. The city had fivetrucks operating

reported power outagesbecause of tree limbs hit-ting power lines. Allthings considered, it wasa fairly easy snow stormto clear,” Moeller said.

Moeller said the city

does not use socialmedia, but is talkingabout as the city is work-ingon improving its com-munication efforts.

“We do use the city’semail listserv to alertresidents to conditionsand snow removal ef-forts,” Moeller said.

Blue Ash crews wereprepping for the stormat

about midnight Nov. 17and worked throughoutthe day to keep the roadsclear.

“Aside from a fewdowned wires and treelimbs, there weren’t anymajor issues,” Blue AshCommunity and PublicRelations CoordinatorEmily Shaffer said in anemail.

Shaffer said the cityuses social media to up-date residents on winterstorms and monitorswhat is happening in thecity during a storm.

“Social media also al-lows residents to reachout to the city with ques-tions, concerns, or com-pliments regarding snowremoval,” Shaffer said.

Moeller High School

» Archbishop Moeller HighSchool teamed up with Hox-worth Blood Center for theirfirst blooddriveof theyear thispast week and had tremendousresults.

A total 54units ofbloodweredonated, and the turnoutwas sogreat several donors had to beturned away towards the end ofthe day. Every unit of blood do-nated can help save up to threelives meaning Moeller’s blooddrive has the potential to helpup to 162 lives.

Each year Moeller sponsorsfour blood drives with Hox-worth Blood Center, and com-petes with other local highschools to see who can collectthemost blood.Moeller has fin-ished in the top five every yearsince 2010, including three sec-ond-place finishes.

InMay,MoellerreceivedtheTom Roebel Award of Excel-lence at the Hoxworth AwardsCeremony. The Tom RoebelAward of Excellence is namedin honor of the former teacherand blood drive coordinator atRoger Bacon High School.

It is given to the school thatexemplifies the spirit of com-munity service and has demon-strated outstanding commit-ment to the success of its ownblood drives.

The annual blood drives arejust one component of Moell-er’s continued dedication toservice. The school’s PastoralMinistry Programs strives toenhance students’ spiritual de-velopment and foster a lifelongcommitment to service.

The school’s Pastoral Minis-try Office alsoworkswithMat-thew 25: Ministries, the RonaldMcDonald House, CorryvilleCatholic Elementary School,and several other organiza-tions. Last year Moeller stu-dents completed 26,905 hoursof community service.

» SeveralArchbishopMoell-erHighSchool students attend-ed the recent Mayerson Ser-vice-Learning Workshop tolearn and share different ser-vice learning experiences withother high schools around thetri-state area.

Moeller students JohnDeca-prio, Nick Goble, Griffin Hill,Chris Staudigel, James Wahl,and Joe Wansik as well asHouse Dean Anthony Corder,and Director of CommunityService JohnHoughparticipat-ed in breakout sessions, learn-ing about different service or-ganizations that could bebrought back to their schoolsand communities.

Another group of Moellerstudents attended the work-shop to present during thebreakout sessions. StudentsTo-

ny LeBarge, Issac Andrews,Mick Hamilton, Liam Taylor,AndrewSmith,MitchPoch, andChris Glaser along with Mathteacher Connie Ring taughtsession participants about Uni-fied for Uganda (U4U), a stu-dent run nonprofit organiza-tion that financially and emo-tionally supports the educationof destitute children in north-ern Uganda.

U4U started as a club atMoeller but now has expandedto over 30 high school and col-lege chapters through eventslike this workshop.

Moeller uses opportunitieslike this toexpandtheiralreadyextensive list of service pro-grams and opportunities fortheir students. This focus onservice comes from the Mari-

anist Characteristic of educa-tion for service justice andpeace which is one of the corepillars of a Moeller education.

The Mayerson Service-Learning Program (MSLP) be-gan in 1994 to support the in-volvement of high school stu-dents, their teachers and theirschools in strengthening ourcommunity through volunteerservice.

Through the MSLP, TheFoundation provides funding,training and technical supportto local high schools through aconsultative process. TheMSLP responds to requests forassistance from schools to im-plement or improve the fulfill-ment of mandatory servicehours, to integrate service in

the academic curriculum, toenhance community servicewith preparation or reflectionactivities, and to recognize stu-dent achievement in the areasof service and volunteerism.

READING — In his 20th yearof coaching, Dr. Scott Rogershas another Mount NotreDame High School team thatshould contend for a title andmake a playoff run.

Coming off a17-7 season thatincludedan8-2markintheGirlsGreater Catholic League, helikes his team’s commitment topractice.

The Cougars return fivestarters in Naomi Davenport,Blair Carlin, Dani Kissel, AbbieScholz andMaddy South.

Minus Davenport and Kisselwho were playing AAU ball,MNDbenefited from a summertrip a fewmonths ago to theUn-der Armour Best of Marylandtournament. The Cougars justmissed the semifinals of theprestigious showcase evenwithout the double-double capa-bilities of Davenport.

Davenport is committed toplay at Michigan and averaged18.7 points and 12.6 reboundslast season.

The Cougars open the latestcampaign Nov. 28 against Cen-terville. The GGCL opener is atSeton Dec. 4.

BeingamemberoftheGGCLis never easy, but it can be eventougher when you have to entera new season without a playerwho has been one the league’sbest for the last three seasons.

The Ursuline Academy Li-ons return four from last year’steam, but will be without SarahReilly. Reilly is in her freshmanyear as a member of the UnitedStatesNavalAcademywomens’basketball team.

“This season is going tobe in-teresting,” Lions head coachKeithStarkssaid. “Notoneplay-er is going to lead us. It’s goingto take a collective effort.”

The returning four players,seniors Ali Schirmer, MeganOglibee, Jillian Fletcher andsophomore Emma Cain will becalled upon to fill prominentroles for the Lions.

In addition to that group isMaddie Stuhlreyer, a 6-foot-4sophomorewhowill be enteringher first full year of varsity.

“If she can give us half ofwhat Sarah did, that would begreat,” Starks said.

The Lions will also be run-ning an offensive set that’s amore watered-down version ofthe the triangle offense utilizedby the University of Connecti-cut women’s basketball team.

“It’s a process,” Starks saidof installing the new scheme.“But, the kids love it and hope-fully will have it mastered bythe middle of the season.”

Chargedwith trying toresur-rect Deer Park’s girls basket-ballprogram isnewcoachGregTabar.

The Lady Wildcats were 4-19(2-12 Cincinnati Hills League)lastseasonbutreturnfourstart-ers with Lacey Chadwell, Sa-mantha Wood, Natalie Carnesand Ceara Trusty.

Chadwell made CHL secondteamasa junior and is closing inon the school record for re-bounds. Carnes also made sec-ond team as a sophomore andboth girls averaged nearly 10points per game. Senior Domin-iqueBrenner is also expected tocontribute.

“We have the perfect mix ofexperience and youth,” Tabarsaid. “The teamhasgreat chem-istry between the returningstarters and determined under-classmen. They will be a risingforce in the CHL this season.”

Tabar’s plan is play a fast-

pacedgameandchange thebas-ketball culture in Deer Park.

“With six seniors and four re-turning starters, the time is nowfor the LadyWildcats,” he said.

Deer Park starts the seasonat Norwood Nov. 28 and at Cin-cinnati Christian Nov. 29. Theirhome opener is against RogerBacon Dec. 2.

In his third year, Indian HillHigh School girls coach ChrisArington would like to get hissquad back to the top of the Cin-cinnati Hills League as theywere in his “rookie” year of2012.

Ofcourse, those inbasketballcircles knowArington is no roo-kie, having run the CincinnatiAngelsAAUprogramfor years.

The Lady Braves were 16-8and 9-5 in the CHL last seasonbehindMariemont,Readingandleague champion Wyoming.Three starters return in seniorMikayla Germain, junior SamArington and sophomore EllieSchaub.

Schaub and Arington wereIndian Hill’s top two scorers at14 and 12.7 points per game, re-spectively.

“Going into the season, I likethe depth and experience of ourteam,” coach Arington said.“Also, the three starters return-ing will help continue the tradi-tion we’ve been building.”

Indian Hill starts the seasonat home Nov. 29 with ClermontNortheastern. Their CHL open-er is at Mariemont Dec. 10. Thefirst meeting with defendingchampion Wyoming won’t takeplaceuntil after thenewyearon

Jan. 7 at Indian Hill.Former player Natalie New-

ton will be assisting Aringtonthis season.

Madeira High School’s girlsbasketball team finished fifthlast season in the CHL, but theyhave four starters returningand they’re optimistic they’ll bean improved team this season.

“Last year was a down yearfor us and we lost a lot of closegames,” said third year coachHaley Warden. “This year, weare looking to finish off thoseclose games on thewinning sideand continue to work hard as ateam.”

Madeira went 10-12 last sea-son; six of its 12 losses were byfive points or less.

Back for Madeira is pointguard Celia Kline who finishedsecond in the CHL last year inassists per game (3.6) and thirdin points per game (14.9). SeniorNikkiMackewill provide a niceboost in thepaint.Macke led theteam in rebounding and blockslast season.

Also contributing this seasonfor theAmazonswill beMalloryKline who averaged 5.8 pointsand 3.0 assists per game lastseason, alongwith Robin Block-som andMary Englert.

Madeira opens up actionNov. 29 at home against NorthCollege Hill.

The Miami Valley Confer-ence Scarlet division could beone of the more hotly contesteddivisionsthisseasonandCincin-nati Hills Christian Academyhead coach Ronnie Grandisonbelieves he has the team that

can contend.The team has to replace last

year’sD III player of the year inMarissa Koob. She was third-teamall-state and first-teamall-district. She averaged 22.2points in the regular season.

Koob is currently a memberof the University of CharlestonGolden Eagles womens’ basket-ball team. She’s played in twogames averagaing 17.5 minutesand 5.5 points per game.

Ronnie Grandison said histeam has a tough schedule thisseason, but that could help getwhere they want to go. Helpingthem through the grind is Nao-mi Grandison, Ronnie’s daugh-ter, center Sam Ross and KatWilliams.

Naomi made The Enquirer’slist of 25 girls’ basketball play-ers to watch this season. Thesenior guard averaged 14.4points and8.9 rebounds last sea-son and is expected to be amongthe top players in the MVC.

RonniealsoexpectsWilliamsto have “a major role in scor-ing.”

Other players that couldhave an impact include fresh-man TessaDoan and junior Tea-gan Osborne.

“Tessa could help us out alot,” Ronnie said. “And I expectTeagan to step up for us.”

Conversely, another MVCScarletdivisionteamcouldbe infor a rough season.

“It’s going to be a rebuildingseason,” Cincinnati CountryDay head coach John Snell said.“We’re not very experiencedand it’s going to be a battle.”

The Indians feature no sen-iors, two juniors, four sopho-mores and four freshmen. Re-gardless, Snell wants to see himteam play hard and grindagainst the tough competitionCCDwill face this season.

He is counting on juniorsKa-tie Jamison and Missy Dieck-man-Meyer along with fresh-man Izzy Hensley.

“They should provide a lot ofthe leadership,” Snell said of hisjuniorsontheteam.“AsforIzzy,she has a lot of skill and will re-place some of the scoring thatwe lost.”

Prior to this year, the Indianswon three consecutive MVCChampionships and were sec-tional champions last year.

Seven Hills returns threeplayers fromlastyear’s teamin-cluding Maggie Gosiger, theteam’s only senior.

Head coach Tyler McIl-wraith is expecting Gosiger tolead the Stingers in scoringagain and be one of the MiamiValley Conference’s best shoot-ers. Other players McIlwraithwill count on is juniorCatherineBain, sophomore Asten Kelleyand freshmanMaggieKersting.

“We only have one senior onthis team, but we will make upfor our lack of experience withour effort and intensity,” McIl-wraith said. “Our goal is to getbetter every single game andhave everybody do their role.”

The Stingers will play in theMVC’s Gray division afterswitching from the Scarlet divi-sion.

Hockey Conference.“There’s a lot of good

guys up there,” fourth-year player Jake Fesselsaid. “Going up north isgood for us.”

Since the addition ofthe Columbus Bluejack-ets to theNHL, the city’slove for hockey has ex-ploded. It’s not quite atthe “Kool-Aid”-level ofOhioState football, but itis growing.

“There’s 5,000 kidsplaying hockey in Co-lumbus now,” Reedersaid.

Moeller competes inthe White Division withUpper Arlington, St.Francis DeSales andGa-hanna Lincoln. The RedDivision features Olen-tangy Orange, DublinJerome, Olentangy Lib-erty, Dublin Coffmanand St. Charles. TheBlue has Bishop Watter-

ROSELAWN — Thoughhe used to be in awe of it,riding a Zamboni on theice is like someone elsemowing the yard on theJohn Deere for MoellerHigh School hockeycoachMike Reeder.

While many Cincin-natians curse the coldweather, Reeder em-braces it as signals thestart of hockey season.He’s now in his12th yearas coach of the Crusad-ers who play their homegames in the legendaryCincinnati Gardens.

The ice in theoldbarnoff of Seymour Avenueglistens. If the woodenseats could talk theywould spin tales of prizefights, the NBA Royals,both UC and Xavier, thecircus, the Beatles andseveral hockey teams.

Moeller is just one ofthe local squads that usethe facility; the homeaway from home for“SnowMiser” Reeder.

“It’s full circle here,”Reeder said chuckling.“I grewup playing hock-ey in this building andnow I’m coaching. It’s alot of fun.”

Even though last yearwas a rare losing seasonfor Moeller (4-13, fifthplace) the coach andplayers know that itcame from top notchcompetition. Most of thearea high schools play inthe Southwest OhioSchool Hockey League;Moeller plays out of theColumbus-based Capital

son, Worthington Kil-bourne, Olentangy,Thomas Worthingtonand Dublin Scioto.

“I think we have anoutstanding team thisyear, but we have someinexperience in key po-sitions,” Reeder said.“Every year somebodygraduates and someonealways comes up andtakes their spot.”

Returning startersfor the Crusaders areFessel, Ben Sattler,DrewDenoyer, Tony Le-Barge,AlecGabel,Char-lie Kresja, Devin De-Groft, Owen Bayer andBraeden Bowra.

Many of the playersare on skates yearround. Others dabble inlacrosse and one Cru-sader already has achampionship trophythis school year in BenSattler.HewasonMoell-er’s Division I champi-onship golf team andthinks winning anotheron the ice isn’t out of therealm of possibility.

A little less than twomonths after their lastmeeting Sept. 26, Moellershut out St. Xavier 21-0 tokeep their hopes for athird consecutive state ti-tle still alive. The Bomb-ers literally drained theclock in the first quarter,taking theopeningkickoffandholdingpossessionforover nine minutes. How-ever, senior Ben Glines ofSt. Xavier was stopped atfourth and one on the 13-yard line and the Crusad-ers kept the Bombers offof the scoreboard.

After one quarter, thescorewasknottedat0withMoeller having run justfour plays.

They made up for it asthe second quarter beganwhen senior Matt Crablefound Boston College-bound senior Chase Pan-key for 42 yards to theBombers’ 13. Three playslater, Crable found juniortight end Jake Hausmannfrom a yard out for thegame’s first score.

St. Xavier drove to theMoeller 32 with anothertime-consuming drive inthe second frame, but Eli-jah Taylor stopped juniorquarterback Matt Wit-trock in the backfield onfourth and two.

Moeller would get atouchdown toss from Cra-

ble to Jack Toomb, but apenalty brought it backand the half would endwithMoeller leading 7-0.

In the third quarter,Wittrock drove St. Xavierto theMoeller 16 on a passto senior Matt Donnelly.Moeller senior Jack Mey-er then sacked Wittrockfor a 12-yard loss. TheBombers had to try a 43-yard field goal and the at-temptbyseniorMylesHo-manwaswide right.

Moeller would driveinto Bombers’ territorylate in the third, but aMattCoghlin 50-yard field goaltrywasshortandthequar-terendedwith theCrusad-ers with a 7-0 lead. In thefourth, Moeller wouldstrike again with Crablehitting junior Kyle Butzfor a long gain, whicheventually led to sopho-more Hunter Hughesplunging in from the twoto give them a14-0 lead.

With utility deregulation weare seeing a significant in-crease in utility scams.

Fly-by night operators andthird-party agents are utilizingevery trick to lure residentsaway from the low pricedgroup rates. In Deer Park wehave, as a group of residents,purchased our natural gas andelectric through a group-pur-chasing programmanaged byEnergy Alliances, Inc. Thisbulk purchase gave us a ratethat was locked in 8 percentlower than Duke on electricand locked in a low rate fornatural gas that includes aflex-down provision to go low-er if the price of the gas com-modity drops.

Since then we have seen apush over the last year by highpriced competitors offering

everythingfrom giftcards and “lowintroductoryrates” to trans-fer residentsoff the guaran-teed low andstable bulkrate price.There aresome thatpromise rebate

checks (you get a small amountof the higher rate back at theend of the contract!) and evenmulti-level marketingschemes.

Telemarketers and directmail offers are the most com-monmethods. Marketers haveintroduced themselves, sayingthey “are from the Ohio Aggre-gation Authority,” “calling on

behalf of the Duke Energyprogram,” they are “repre-senting your community’saggregation program” or evensaying they are calling on be-half of the Public UtilitiesCommission of Ohio.

Occasionally a “representa-tive” will knock on your doorand offer to compare your ratewith their company’s rate.What they won’t always tellyou is they often compare theirrate without taxes and fees toyours with taxes and fees, ormake comparisons to incorrectprice-to-compare rates fromDuke Energy or misquote oth-er supplier’s rates. Your cityofficials have negotiated aprogram rate that comparesfavorably to Duke Energy.These salespeople generallyhave very little experience and

signing or being ‘slammed’could cause you to pay earlytermination fees from yourcurrent supplier or much high-er prices for your gas or elec-tric.

At times, a resident will findthat they have been switchedafter only a conversation.Sometimes the salesman willask for a signature “to verify”that he spoke with you. Thisprocess is called ‘slamming’and it is very costly. The ratescan be any amount and in-crease without restriction. Ifyou have been visited by adoor-to-door representative,keep an even closer eye onyour next couple utility bills.They may wait to submit therequest.

Please remember to alwaysread all correspondence from

your utility company or com-munity. If this has happened toyou, call PUCO and report thefraud: 800-686-7826 or 7-1-1(TTY-TDD). You can also file acomplaint on line at:www.puco.ohio.gov/puco. Ifyou suspect unfair practices orvendors going door-to-doorwithout a local permit call theDeer Park Police Department.

If they seem suspicious oryou have concerns, don’t hes-itate to contact the administra-tion office, the customer ser-vice number for Deer ParkAggregation Customers 877-305-3337 (natural gas) or 877-559-8033 (electric).

Nov. 19 questionWhat is your favorite local

holiday event/tradition/deco-ration(s)? What makes it spe-cial?

“There are many greatdisplays and traditions in theTristate area. It is hard tosingle one out. But the DukeEnergyMiniature Trainsdisplay now at the MuseumCenter is hard to top. Pluswith the other displays at theMuseum Center it is in aneven better location now.Also noted is the wonderfultrain display now done byGreen Township. Sometimesimitation is the sincerestform of flattery. It seemsback in the 1950s every kidgot a miniature train set forChristmas. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

Nov. 12 questionDo you think “Christmas

Creep” starts too early? Whenshould the holiday seasonbegin?

“This is a huge hot buttonwith me: absolutely yes,Christmas Creep starts waytoo early. When you startseeing Christmas stuff instores and even on somehouses before Halloween,something is very wrong. Ilike Christmas and the reli-gious reason for the season,but the commercial aspect ofit has gotten way out of handand so clouds the entire lastthree months of the year thatit is not an enjoyable time ofthe year for me.

“Black Friday? Now Black

Thanksgiving? Heck, itseems like Black Novemberand December. People, stopthe madness, please. Here’smy simple plan: No Christ-mas decorations beforeThanksgiving and they allcome down on New YearsDay. Avoid shopping on anyBlack Anything day. Go for ahike in the woods instead,infinitely more relaxing andfree too. Buy simple mean-

ingful, affordable gifts ormake something for the gifts.Don’t mortgage the betterpart of the coming new yearby going deeply in debt forChristmas. Enjoy the season,and smile!”

M.J.F.

“As long as they call itChristmas, I don’t care if it ison the 4th of July. When theword ‘Holiday’ or the ‘Season’is substituted they aren’tgoing to get my businessanytime. For those that don’tcelebrate Christmas, I am allfor you having any ads youwish and shop anywhere youlike during the ‘Christmascelebration.’

“No one makes me shop orbuy what I don’t want, eventhough I agree with my wife,my old habit of only shoppingon Christmas Eve got a littlesilly.

“Merry Christmas!”Don Brown

Holiday Junction, featuring the Duke Energy Holiday Trains,at theCincinnati Museum Center.

Take a look at events allover the world. The sad com-monality for many is morbidhate for someone who is onlymarginally different from anyof us. This also includes theunexpressed feelings heldback in passing a total strang-

er.We have the

advantage ofliving in asociety whereit is possible tomeet and be-friend a varie-ty of people ofmany heri-tages. Howmany of us usethis opportuni-ty to enjoy the

learning and intellectual ad-vantage of this offer? Or, is itlikely you will convenientlyjudge this unknown personbased solely on appearance?

The history of mankind isnot favorable on our treatmentof each other based on whatare really minor differences.At this point I prefer not to bespecific as we should all makeintelligent valuations of ourown and of others potentialreactions.

A good starting point is toconsider that you are thestranger, possibly in unusualcircumstances. Someone islooking at you. What are theythinking? You could be in aforeign country or even in asection of your home town thatis “different.” Are you com-fortable being evaluated? Well,isn’t that the same thing youdo? What I am trying to dem-onstrate is that it is very easy

to judge and dislike someoneyou don’t know.

But, let’s move on. Our ac-tions are used by others tovalidate their feelings whetherthey are hateful or positive. Ifyou are “different” in any vari-ation from their norms itmakes dislike of you a conve-nience. In many cases thisdislike has to do with whatamounts to very slight differ-ences in religion.

I have been a student ofreligion for many years. Myreadings have underscored thereality that even among thehighly disputed differencesthere is far more in commonthan the alleged differences.My travels have brought me incontact with persons of manyraces and religions. Having avery open mind has caused meto accept that their way of lifeas very valid for them and bothinteresting and acceptable tome.

When we survey the wrongscommitted in behalf of race,nationality or religion we canonly wonder how different theworld would be if hate was aninconvenience and acceptancewas prized. One has to believethat the prejudice is fosteredby some sort of false feeling ofsuperiority. We are also quickto validate our prejudiceswhen we become aware of badactions of one individual ofpeople whomwe convenientlydislike. This is a problem thatcan only be remedied by grouppressure from that distinctheritage.

Convenience of hate

Recycling is one of the easi-est ways you can help the envi-ronment. However, it can be abit confusing.

Here’s what you can recy-cle: any plastic bottle or jug, aslong as the mouth is smallerthan the rest of the container.Milk jugs, liquid laundry de-tergent jugs and shampoobottles all qualify.

Glass bottles can also go inyour curbside bin or cart, in-cluding jelly, tomato sauce,pickle and salsa jars. Remem-ber to rinse out the containerand remove the lid, which goes

into your recy-cle bin sep-arately.

All food-related metalcans are recy-clable such astuna fish, soup,fruit and vege-table cans.Metal bever-age cans, suchas pop, juice

and beer cans, are also recy-clable.

When it comes to paper,here’s an easy tip: if you can

tear it, you can put it in yourrecycle bin. This goes for anypaper that has not touchedfood. Now you can recyclepaper cartons such as milk,orange juice, soups and juiceboxes. Remove the caps orstraws and drop the emptycarton into your recycle bin orcart. If you have shreddedpaper from old bills or docu-ments, put them in a clearplastic bag inside your cart toprevent littering.

Now for the tricky and over-looked items you can recycle.Empty aerosol cans – just re-

move the tip. The empty card-board rolls of bathroom tissueand paper towels – you canrecycle those too. We all lovepizza, so recycle the clean boxby removing food-stained pa-per or cardboard linings.

My clothesline is ladentoday, not with laundry,but with three inches ofsnow and ice - so muchthat it dips in the middle.

I wasstunnedwhen Iwent outearly tofeed andwater the“girls”/chickens.What abeautifulsight. Thesnow clungto every-

thing, from the tallestpine tree to the overhangon the outhouse to thetrailing thyme in the herbgarden. It was so coldthat I had to take boilingwater to the chicks. Afterjust a couple of minutes,they dipped their beaksinto pleasantly warmwater.

Nutella swirl poundcake

This cake was one ofthe baked goods for saleat Western Hills gardenclub’s harvest event. Itintrigued me because itcame with a recipe. Afterone bite I had to make itwith my homemade Nu-tella. In spite of the Nu-tella, the cake is not toosweet. A nice gift fromthe kitchen, as it can befrozen for a month.

1 -1/2 cups all-purposeflour, plus more fordusting

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 teaspoons vanilla3/4 teaspoon baking

powder1/4 teaspoon salt2 sticks unsalted

butter, softened1 -1/4 cups sugarOne13-ounce jar

Nutella, warmed if nec-essary for easingspreading

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Lightly greaseand flour a 9x5 loaf pan.Lightly beat eggs withvanilla. Whisk flour withbaking powder and salt.

Beat butter with sugar onmedium-high until fluffy,about 3 minutes. Onme-dium-low, gradually beategg mixture until fullyincorporated. Add flourmixture in 3 batches,beating on low betweenadditions until just in-corporated. Continue tobeat for 30 seconds long-er. Spread one-third ofbatter in pan, then spreadhalf of Nutella on top.Repeat with another thirdof batter and rest of Nu-tella. Top with remainingbatter. Lightly swirl Nu-tella into batter. Don’tover mix. Bake for about1 hour and 15 minutes,until toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean.Let cool in pan for 15minutes. Invert onto wirerack, turn right side upand let cool completely.

Gilding the lily: Aftercooling, drizzle on a glazemade with 1/2 cup confec-tioners sugar and either 1tablespoon brewedespresso or milk or waterwith 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

When freezing bakedgoods, cool completelybefore freezing.

Otherwise, moisture

builds up in the freezer,causing stickiness.

Miriam’s spicedpecans

One of the nicestthings about what I do isthe people I meet. LikeDiane Blackburn. Shefixed a delicious salad forVillage gardeners ofGlendale’s meeting andtopped it with her mom’specans. When she told methe story of the pecans, Iknew I had to share itwith you. Here’s whatDiane said: “I especiallywant you to have mymom’s recipe for hereasy-but-delicious holi-day pecans. This is therecipe, written in herown hand, that I had re-produced, and enclosedin the acknowledgementnotes sent after her fu-neral-- a personal littlegift from her-- to familyand friends. Many haveexpressed their delight inreceiving her recipe.Some have nowmade thepecans themselves forthe first time, after re-ceiving them in Christ-mas boxes frommymomin past years.”

1 cup sugar1/4 cupwater2 Tablespoons cinna-

mon2 cups pecan halvesHave a bowl with a

tight fitting lid ready (Iuse Tupperware) with ¾cup sugar and 1Table-spoon cinnamon inside.Cook the remaining sug-

ar, water, and cinnamonand bring to a boil, stir-ring constantly. Cookuntil it forms a soft ballwhen dropped into aglass of cold water, just afew drops at a time. Thesecret here is to work

very fast. When the syr-up is ready, dump in thepecans and toss with awooden spoon until allpecans are coated. Thenput them in the bowl,secure the lid, and shake.Dump them on a cookiesheet lined with waxpaper. Separate thosethat are stuck together.That’s it.

You find yourselfsuddenly in need of alocksmith and turn to theYellow Pages or callInformation on yourphone. When you do youcould be asking for trou-ble thanks to bait-and-switch tactics used byseveral companiesaround the nation.

The Ohio AttorneyGeneral last month sueda Portland-area lock-smith operation andcharged the owner withviolating consumer pro-tection laws.

Attorney General

Mike De-Wine says,“Consum-ers arelured in bya low ini-tial price,but thenarechargedmuch high-er rates.”

I report-ed on this scam sevenyears ago when a Dayton,Kentucky, woman toldme her fiancé calledInformation to find alocksmith. He was given

the name of a firm thatquoted him $50 over thephone to come and opentheir front door. But, shesays, when the locksmithgot there the price quick-ly jumped to $149 be-cause of all the differentfees they tacked on.

It turned out that com-pany was operating outof New York and hiredlocal people to take itsreferrals. The attorneygeneral says that’s exact-ly what that Portlandfirm was doing – eventhough consumersthought they were deal-

ing with a local company.DeWine says, “These

kinds of operations takeadvantage of consumersand unfairly undercutlocal, honest locksmithbusinesses.”

Another problem withsuch companies is some-times they have to breakthe lock in order to get itopen. That’s what hap-pened to that Dayton,Kentucky, woman eventhough most skilled lock-smiths can open lockswithout breaking them.

In fact, that’s one ofthe things to be alert for

when hiring a locksmith.Be skeptical if a lock-smith says the only wayto open the lock is tobreak it.

Also, the attorneygeneral says, be carefulif a business operatesunder multiple names. Itcould be doing so to hideunsatisfactory reportsfrom the Better BusinessBureau. That Portlandfirm used several differ-ent company names andwebsites to make it ap-pear it was operatinglocally. Instead, all callswere routed to an out-of-

state call center that tookcalls from throughout thecountry, according to thelawsuit.

So, the best advice isnot to wait until the lastminute to find a lock-smith. Instead, whenyou’re not in a hurry, getreferences for lock-smiths from friends andfamily.
