GOSHEN TOWNSHIP — Go-shen Township trustees are in-terviewing candidates for po-lice chief after long-time ChiefRay Snyder, who also served asthe township’s administrator,took medical leave a month be-fore his Nov. 30 retirement.

Two days after the Oct. 28Goshen Township board oftrustees meeting, Snyder left adoctor’s note with the policeclerk concerning his medicalleave, said interim administra-tor Claire Corcoran, who alsoservesaschairpersonof theGo-shen Township Board of Trust-

ees. For now,Capt.BobRose isrunning the po-lice department,and trustees areinterviewing ap-plicants for po-lice chief, Corco-ran said.

AlthoughSny-der’s abrupt departure on med-ical leave prompted some tospeculate he was being forcedout, Corcoran said that’s nottrue.

“I have absolutely nothingnegative to say,” Corcoran saidofGoshen’s formerpolicechief.“He served this communitywell. I want people to know that

he was not fired, and his paywas not decreased. He had sicktime on the books, and he has aright to take it.”

Last month, Corcoran’s fel-low trustees appointed her in-terim administrator throughDec. 31, after they were unableto decide on filling the adminis-trator’s job. Corcoran, who willreceive no compensation forthose duties, abstained fromthat vote.

“We had been talking aboutme serving as interim adminis-trator for several months be-fore that, knowing that (Sny-der) was retiring and had a loton his plate,” Corcoran said.

For now, Capt. Bob Rose is

handling the daily operations ofthe police department, Corco-ran said.

At the Nov. 10 Goshen Town-ship Trusteesmeeting, residentKyle Flynn asked if there was abetterwayof staffing thepolicedepartment during the thirdshift, or overnight shift. Flynnsaid he called police a coupleweeks ago after spotting a sus-picious vehicle in his neighbor-hood, but no one showed up af-ter a half hour wait.

Corcoran said trustees areaware of police departmentstaffing issues and plan to addmoreofficers in thenewbudget

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP — TheGoshen Local School Districthas earned the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s EnergyStar designation for three of itsbuildings for efficient use ofenergy.

Ken Yockey, facilities per-formance engineer with FourSeasons Environmental Inc.,announced the awards at theGoshen Board of Education’sNov. 17 meeting.

GoshenLocalSchools’ feder-al energy scores mean the dis-trict “is saving dollars that (it)can invest in kids, not in ener-gy,” said Superintendent Dar-rell Edwards. Since June 30,2008, the district has realized anet savings of $513,596.59through its proactive energyplan, said Todd Shinkle, theschool district’s treasurer.

Spaulding ElementarySchool earned a 77 Energy Starscore; Marr/Cook Elementaryearned an 83, and Goshen Mid-dle School earned a 90, Yockeysaid. The datawas verified by aprofessional engineer. Most

buildings evaluated by EnergyStar typicallyearnscores in the40s and 50s, he said.

“I want to tell Goshen thatthis is really no small accom-plishment,” Yockey said. “Thisis a huge deal.”

Edwards said Chuck Smith,Goshen Schools’ head of main-tenance, can monitor every-thing fromwhat fans are work-ing to an individual classroom’stemperature and adjust energyusage via his computer athome.

Although pleased with thebuildings’ ratings, members ofthe Goshen Board of Educationwanted to know why the highschool was not recognized forits energy conservation ef-forts.

“We are hoping to registerthe high school (on the EnergyStar registry) by next year,”Yockey said. He added thatbuilding “is really run effi-ciently,” but he said its energyscore was tied to the way cer-tain questions were asked.

For example, he said one ofthe issues that’s asked is how abuilding is used with respect toschedules.

“If you sayyouuse thebuild-inguntil10 o’clock at night, thatreally disqualifies us frommeeting their requirements,”Yockey said. “Really, the onlypart of the building we use atnight is the gymnasium. Therest of the building is strategi-cally operated with respect toour occupancy.”

Yockey said he submittedthat complaint and was toldthat complaint had been heardbefore and that Goshen wouldbe able to submit another entryexplaining how the various en-ergy saving strategies hadbeen implemented.

“Today, they are allowing usto answer the questions differ-

ently,” Yockey said. “So in 2015our goal is to do our verybest tosee ifwecanget ahigher ratingand see if we can get a certifi-cate for the high school.”

Meanwhile, the Hamil-ton County sheriff’s of-fice was called in to com-plete the inventory of the

Goshen Township policeevidence room with Go-shen Township Police Of-ficer Jamie McFarland,who has been assistingSnyder in that task.

The Goshen TownshipPolice Department’s evi-dence room, or propertyroom, has been the sub-ject of a 2-year-old inves-tigation involving thou-sands of dollars of miss-ing drug case money or-ders and narcoticsevidence seized by police.

At the Oct. 28 trusteesmeeting, Snyder said theaudit, or inventory of thepolicepropertyroom,wasabout 90 percent com-plete and he expected itcould be finished in a cou-ple of days.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP —Goshen High School andSpaulding Elementarywere among 130 Ohioschools recently recog-nized by the Ohio Depart-ment of Education be-cause of students’ out-standing academic per-formance.

For the second consec-utive year, Goshen HighSchool has been designat-ed a “School of Promise”and a “High PerformingSchool of Honor,” a titlegiven to 48 schools state-wide, SuperintendentDarrell Edwards said.

For the third year in arow, theOhioDepartmentof Education has namedSpaulding Elementary a“School of Promise.” Thatschool was one of 98 inOhio to receive that desig-nation.

“We all know that pov-erty presents major chal-lenges to student achieve-ment, and it often con-tinues from generation togeneration,” Richard

Ross, superintendent ofpublic instruction, wrotein a letter to Spaulding El-ementary Principal TomTurner. “Yet with 40 per-cent ormore of SpauldingElementary School’s stu-dents coming from low in-come homes, your schoolhas closed the math and

reading achievement gapfor students from everybackground. That meansall of your girls and boysare gaining the knowl-edge and skills they needto succeed in college, oth-er postsecondary train-ing, jobs and life.”

Most Clermont Countycommunities follow thesheriff’s directive whenit comes to snow emer-gency protocol, but don’texpect the sheriff to de-clare a snow emergencyevery time it snows.

In amemo sent to localgovernments during theseason’s first snowfallNov. 17, Clermont CountySheriff A.J. Rodenbergtold local officials that hewill only declare snowemergencieswhen condi-tions are “extremely haz-ardous throughout theen-tire county.”

In his memo, Roden-berg said Ohio law de-fines three levels of snowemergencies, rangingfrom level1, the least haz-ardous, to level 3, whichsubjects drivers to possi-ble arrest unless it’s abso-lutely necessary to travelor a personal emergencyexists.

“At first, I would de-clare snow emergenciesmoreoften,but itwas justcreating a lot of confu-sion,” Rodenberg said.“The problem we havehere in Clermont Countyis a snow emergency iscountywide, and theweather conditions some-times vary widely fromthe northern to the south-ern parts of the county.There may be a lot ofsnow in one area, and notso much in another.”

Rodenberg said hewillonlydeclareasnowemer-gency after consultationwith his command staff,county engineer, theOhioDepartment of Transpor-tation and other publicsafety entities and deter-mining that driving“would create risks anddifficulties particularlyfor road clearing opera-tions.”

“Except in exceptionalcircumstances, we willnot have any snow emer-gencies in ClermontCounty,” Rodenberg said.“I think people can usecommon sense to knowwhen they should be outon the road.”

The sheriff said work-ers should check withtheir employers to deter-minewhat guidelines andstandards apply in in-clement weather.

In Clermont County’sMiami Township, trust-ees recently approvedlegislation allowing themto declare a snow emer-gency. Mike Mantel, thetownship’s service direc-tor, said the authority todo sowas neededbecauseweather conditions canvarywidely in the county.Miami Township officialshope it will give them an-other way to ensure thatthe township’s 440 streetscovering 153 miles are

clearedfaster thiswinter.During the Nov. 17

snowfall, Miami Town-ship did not declare asnow emergency, Mantelsaid.

“Just because it snowsdoesn’t mean we’re goingto enact a snow emergen-cy,” he said. “(The Nov.17) snow was a quicksnow...If it was a longerevent and the snow wassignificantly deeper, wemight have declared asnow emergency.”

In the city of Milford,the city manager can de-clare a snow emergency.Streets affected are low-er Main Street (FivePoints intersection toMill Street), MohawkTrail and Lila Avenue(Five Points intersectionto Lila Chateau Apart-ments). All vehiclesshould be removed fromsnow emergency routesor risk being towed, andnon-essential travelshould be limited.

For now, Miami Town-ship is publicizing itssnow emergency resolu-tion through local cableTV, the township’s winternewsletter that goes toevery household, thetownship’s website andthe media.

In another change thisyear, Miami Township isasking residents to signup for twitter so that theycan receive updates onsnow removal in theirtownship.

“My plan would be totweet information to letpeople know that we areout doing our thing,”Mantel said. “If some-thingwere to change, andwe could not completeour routes, I’d tweet that.I’m also tweeting whenall routes are cleared.”

“Eastgate Boulevard iseffectively complete.”

That’s somethingUnion Township Adminis-trator Ken Geis waspleased to say at a recenttownship trustees meet-ing and something mem-bers of the motoring pub-lic will be pleased to hear.

“The entrance ramp toeastbound state Route 32should open up sometimebefore Thanksgiving, andwe believe that the tunnelis going to also open thenas well,” Geis said.

“That will be an exitramp from northboundInterstate 275 from (stateRoute) 125 if you wantedtoheadeastboundonstateRoute 32 east of the Jun-gle Jim’s (InternationalMarket at 4450 EastgateSouth Drive) area.”

Geis cautioned that itwill not be until sometimenext year that a lot of oth-er roadwork in the East-gate area of Union Town-ship will be finished.

“The Ivy Pointe Boule-vardextension toAicholtzRoad is underway,” Geissaid.

“The utilities are beinginstalled this year and theroadwillbecompletenextyear.

“Aicholtz underneaththe interstate will reallybegin in earnest next yearand they will begin tun-neling under the inter-state to complete that

road all theway to Mt.Carmel,”Geis said.

“Theimprove-ment thereshouldtake abouttwo years

and that will extend into2016.

“I’m not sure if it’s go-ing to be the summer of2016 or later, but at somepoint you’ll actually beable to go from this loca-tion in the civic center (at4350 Aicholtz Road) allthe way to Mt. Carmelwithout getting on (stateRoute)32orCloughPike,”Geis said.

Geis said roadand traf-fic signal improvementsalso are beginning at EastTech Drive by the UnionTownship firehouse at 718Old state Route 74.

“The transmissionlinesare thereand they’reactually going to beginthat work and that will becomplete this year beforeThanksgiving, as well,”Geis said.

The Eastgate Boule-vard work is part of a $10million project to widenthe road over state Route32.

It is relocating thewestbound entrance andexit ramps from stateRoute 32 to EastgateNorth Drive instead of

Eastgate Boulevard, andreconstructing the west-bound loop ramp fromEastgate Boulevard tostate Route 32.

A total of some$46mil-lion-worth of improve-ments at the I-275/stateRoute 32 interchange arescheduled to be completein fall 2015.

Portions of state Route32 will be widened fromOld stateRoute 74 toEast-gate Square Drive.

New ramps will bebuilt from I-275 to stateRoute 32 and new rampsand related structureswill be built under I-275 toallow for the AicholtzRoad connector.

MULBERRY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HONOR ROLLS

Milford High School

» Timothy Goodyear of the MilfordHigh School/Great Oaks satellite pro-gram scored among the top businessstudents nationwide on rigorous examsto test their business knowledge. Theexams are part of the school’s HighSchool of Business program, a nationalaccelerated business administrationprogram.

Goodyear earned the third highestscore in the nation on theLeadership ex-am.

Students participating in HighSchool of Business complete real,hands-on business projects through aseries of six courses. The program alsoincludes observational internships, op-portunities toearncollegecredit, and lo-cal oversight via a steering team of col-lege faculty, businessprofessionals, andschool personnel.

UC Clermont CollegeAs Sheri Albers accepted her UC

Clermont diploma in August, the walkacross the stage represented more thanacademic success; it was also a crucialstep of a journey she wasn’t sure she’dever be able to take.

Albers is legally blind and suffersfrom retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eyedisease that has caused gradual vision

loss since shewas diagnosed at age 2. Asher eyesight worsened, the course ofher life changed dramatically. In 1993,Albers, who also has a finance degree,had been working in a high-profile trea-sury jobwithwatchmanufacturerSeikoCorp. of America for more than eightyears when she became unable to useher computer or read spreadsheets; shewas forced to resign.

“That was a huge blow for me,” Al-bers said. “I was at the point in my lifewhere my job was my existence andidentity.”

Determined to stay busy, Albersstarted a family (she has two daughters,one who is now a social work major atUC’s Clifton Campus) and threw herselfinto daily life as a homemaker.

“I poured myself into my kids andtried to do everything – Girl Scout lead-er, classmom. I had just left this job andhad to prove to myself that I could stillbe functional.”

In 2006, shewent into recovery for al-coholism and has been sober since – anexperience that made her eager to helpothers recovering from addiction.

“It’s been frustrating to see friendscome in and out of recovery and talkabout counselors they’ve encounteredwho don’t know what it’s like to sufferfromaddiction,”Albers said. “But I nev-erpursued theprofessionbecauseofmy

fear of being blind and of going to backto school at my age, with a disability.”

What ultimately helped Albers over-come her fears was getting involved inthe National Federation of the Blind.

“Their mission is all about empower-ment; blindness is not something thatshould define you,” she says. She nowserves on the organization’s state boardof directors and remains active in the lo-cal chapter.Armedwith the federation’ssupport, Albers chose UC Clermont forits addiction counseling program, loca-tion (she cannot drive, so the Loveland,Ohio resident needed classes close tohome) and friendly atmosphere.

“I was looking for a smaller commu-nity college as opposed to a large cam-pus because it’s easier for me to navi-gate,” Albers said. Once on campus, shefound fellow students welcoming andprofessorsaccommodating, andworkedwith Disability Services to get text-books electronically. However, Alberswas still met with unique challenges.For instance, she would record lecturesand takenotesonabraillenote taker,butonce at home, would re-listen to the lec-ture and study any PowerPoint presen-tations to fill in the blanks – a processthat turned a one-hour classroom lec-ture into twomorehoursofwork, beforeeven cracking the textbook or assign-ments. But she persevered and found

that she loved learning, evengraduatingwith a 4.0 grade point average.

“WhenI first started thisadventure, Ithought, ‘OK, I’ll try it.’ After the firstsemester I thought, ‘wow, I did it. I’llkeep going,’” Albers said. “Then I justgot the fever, and I loved school. I lovedbeing back in that environment. I knewwhy I was there.”

Through her UC Clermont classes,Albersmet the requirements to earnherfirst-level certification as a ChemicalDependency Counseling Assistant andspent this past summer interning at theClermont Recovery Center as a recov-ery counselor. She plans to pursue herbachelor’s degree through UC, eventu-ally earning higher certification and aprofessional counselor position.

Albers advises students with disabil-ities to take advantage ofUCClermont’sDisability Services office, and to walkinto the classroom confidently. “Tellyour professor what you need from dayone, and be your own advocate,” shesays. “But also, be yourself. Some stu-dents were apprehensive about speak-ing tome, but I found that themore openI was, the more open they were. Keepyour sense of humor.”

GOSHEN TWP — With nineseniors returning to play forhead coach Dave Mason, theGoshen Warriors believe thiscould be a big year.

“We want to win the leaguechampionship and go deeperinto the tournament,” Masonsaid. “Our motto this season is‘it’s our time.’ ”

He added that the Warriorswill find out quicklywhere theystand in the scheme of thingswith games against WesternBrown,NorwoodandNewRich-mond early in the season.

“Our tough schedule getsstartedrightaway,”Masonsaid.“We are going to find out wherewe stand.”

The Warriors could poten-tially have one of the more ath-letic teams in the areawith fourof those nine seniors garneringfirst-team all conference hon-ors during their respective fallsports.

Goshen will lean on KaylaMiller and Courtney Turner asmain cogs in the offense. TheWarriors could also get contri-butions from Brittany Clark

and Jackie Brown.The Warriors could be bat-

tling for headlines with theMil-ford Eagles and Taylor Foster.However, Foster will missgames due to some disciplinaryissues, but will reinforce someyoung talent when she returnsto the lineup.

The Eagles’ best point guardHannah Woody has been deal-ing with mononucleosis. Whenhealthy, she will play a promi-nent role

“I amvery excited about thisseason,” Eagles coach KristiMcKenneysaid. “Wehaveexpe-rience returning and youngplayers coming along.We couldhave a good year.”

In addition to Foster, who islisted among The Enquirer’s 25girls’ basketball players towatch this season, the Warriorswill look for contributions fromKelly Noll, Shelby Maylebenand Tori Gilman.

Coach McKenney said de-fense is going to be a focus thisseason.

“Throughout our scrim-mages, defense has been the fo-cus,” she said. “After everygame, we want teams to say‘man they play good defense.’ ”

LizBenjaminentersher firstyearat thehelmofheralmama-ter Clermont Northeastern,but she isn’t new to coaching.She led the girls’ seventh gradeteam andwas the junior varsityhead coach and a varsity assis-tant the past two seasons beforeassuming the head coachingrole.

“It’s something that I’ve al-ways wanted to do,” she said. “Ilove basketball and bleed blueand gold.We have a couple girlsthat play with the same style asthe girls I played with.”

Benjamin added that theRockets feature a strong juniorclass includingMcKenzieCoop-er. The team also features sen-iors Jackie Sullivan and RachelWard.

CNEalso returns sophomoreAndrea Johnson.

“She has a lot of potential,”Benjamin said.

Inside the Interstate 275loop, the McNicholas’ girls willfeature a young team after los-ing eight seniors from last year.But, head coach Gregg Flam-mer said he does like the pro-gress his team is making.

“We have four girls return-ing that have varsity experi-ence,” the coach said. “Hopeful-ly, they will be able to bring theother girls along quickly.”

The Rockets open the seasonwith games againstMilford andMariemont which Flammer

said will be a tough start beforethe team gets into it’s toughGreater Catholic League Co-EdDivision schedule.

McNicholas will be lookingforscoringfromseniorforwardPayton Ramey. Fellow seniorforwardNicole Geyganwill seean expanded role this season af-

ter being a part-time player lastseason.

Rounding out the Rockets’inside prescence is sophomorecenter Jaclyn Geygan. Flam-mer is expecting her “to be aforceon the inside.”Flammer isexpecting junior guard MariaCiampone to contribute to the

scoring effort as well.One player that could have a

breakout season is sophomoreguard Katey Byrne.

“We’re expecting big thingsfrom her,” Flammer said.

A publication of

A look at Veterans Day cele-brations in Clermont Countyand Eastern Hamilton County:

Wenstrup thanks TQLvets

One voice broke the silencein the cafeteria.

Total Quality Logistics teammember Preston Wade openedthe company’s Veteran’s Daycelebration luncheon with an acapella rendition of “My Coun-try ‘Tis of Thee” for an audi-ence of more than 50 militaryveterans and active-duty re-servists in attendance Nov. 11at TQL headquarters.

Wade served in the UnitedStates Army from1988 to 1996,beginning his career in themedical corps before becom-ing an Army Ranger. He is oneof more than 100 Cincinnati-based TQL employees withmilitary experience.

U.S. Rep. BradWenstrup(R-2nd District) – himself aBronze Star recipient and lieu-tenant colonel in the U.S. Army– addressed the TQL servicemen and women before work-ing the room, shaking handsand thanking each of themindividually.

“The wars of the past werea lot different than the onesour parents and grandparentsfought,” Wenstrup said. “Weknew who the enemy was andwe knew when the wars wereover. You younger vets havehad a very different experi-ence. But ultimately, our mis-sion is the same.

“We live in the greatestnation the world has ever seen.We subjugate no one and westrive for freedom all aroundthe world.

“And for all of you served inpeacetime, you know therewould be no peace without you.We’re grateful for what you’vedone, too.”

Wenstrup said militaryservice is a rare calling.

“Only 1 percent of Amer-icans have served,” he said.“You’re an elite group. Thinkof what those veterans havedone for this country. Youcome from a background ofhard work, discipline and sac-rifice. You understand team-

work and reaching objectives.”TQL executive vice presi-

dent Kerry Byrne agreed.“We hire vets and members

of the National Guard becausethey possess the skills andvalues we are looking for – anoutstanding work ethic, theability to learn new skillsquickly, and the tenacity forcreating success in any situa-tion,” he said.

“We’re known for celebrat-ing a lot of accomplishmentshere, but it’s especially impor-tant for us to celebrate themen and women in our compa-ny who served the country.”

TQL consistently earnsrecognition for its work withveterans, most recently receiv-ing the Center of AmericaAward for Outstanding Com-mitment and Leadership Oct.23 during a ceremony at TheHall of Flags in Washington,D.C.

McNicholas High SchoolOnWednesday, Nov. 11,

students and faculty at Arch-bishopMcNicholas HighSchool assembled in honor ofmore than 200 McNicholasalumni who have served theirnation in the armed forces.

During the hour-long ser-vice, the school rededicated itsmilitary memorial, which com-memorates the lives of five

McNicholas graduates whopaid the ultimate sacrificewhile serving their country.

Gathering together near thememorial, the student bodyjoined the nation’s veteransand the families of those McNi-cholas alumni who have fallenin the line of duty. Social Stud-ies teacher Frank Lowdenbegan the ceremony by of-fering a bagpipe call to order,ushering in members of theAmerican Legion Post 484, whopresented the colors for thePledge of Allegiance. The stu-dent body participated by wav-ing American flags and joiningtheir school Liturgy Choir in

the singing of the NationalAnthem and “God Bless Amer-ica.”

Speakers at the event in-cluded United States Air ForceColonel Walter C. Daniels II’85, and Lieutenant ColonelBradWenstrup, United StatesArmy Reserves and 2 nd Con-gressional District U.S. Houseof Representatives.

“Today is meant for cele-brating the service of thosewho came before us and thosewho will come after us,” Dan-iels told the crowd. “As werededicate this memorial, I askyou not to mourn the loss, butto celebrate the service.”

Originally dedicated in2009, the military memorialhonors five McNicholas gradu-ates who were killed in the lineof duty: Marty Mugavin 1965,Greg Iding 1965, Joe Berning1969, Chuck Kiser 1985, andNick Erdy 2002. During therededication ceremony, selectstudents offered tributes to theeach of the fallen veterans,recounting stories of theirlives and sacrifices. DanielsandWenstrup were then in-vited to share with the McNi-cholas community theirthoughts on the importance ofhonoring those who give theirlives to military service.

“To me, every day is Veter-an’s Day,” Wenstrup said. “Nota day has passed when I do notthink of our troops. Those whoserve our country are the bestand brightest. Our great Amer-ican veterans go where othersfear to go, and ask nothingfrom those who give nothing.”

Following the ceremony, theveterans and their familieswere invited inside for abreakfast, held in the schoolcafeteria. There, studentswere able to spend quality timewith family members whohave served in the armedforces, while reflecting on theservice of those McNicholasgraduates who had paid theultimate sacrifice to theircountry.

“We should remember themas they lived and see it withhappiness rather than sadnessand grief,” senior Patrick Sim-mons said. Simmons attendedthe event with his grandfather,a veteran of the VietnamWar.“Wemust never forget thosewho have served, and mustremember them not by glori-fying the war and bloodshed,but rather through people whostill live and through remem-bering those who died.”

Daniels concluded hisspeech by presenting the cere-mony’s attendees with a chal-lenge to support those whowork for freedom today whilepreserving the memory ofthose military members whohave since passed.

“I challenge you to live thelife of selfless service as thosemen have,” Daniels said. “Re-member them and ask your-self: ‘How can I serve my com-munity today?”

Nov. 19 questionWhat is your favorite local

holiday event/tradition/decora-tion(s)? What makes it special?

“There are many great dis-plays and traditions in the Tris-tate area. It is hard to single oneout. But the Duke Energy Min-iature Trains display now at theMuseum Center is hard to top.Plus with the other displays atthe Museum Center it is in aneven better location now. Alsonoted is thewonderful train dis-play now done by Green Town-ship. Sometimes imitation is thesincerest form of flattery. Itseems back in the 1950s everykid got a miniature train set forChristmas. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

Nov. 12 questionDo you think “Christmas

Creep” starts too early? Whenshould the holiday season begin?

“This is a huge hot buttonwith me: absolutely yes, Christ-mas Creep starts way too early.When you start seeing Christ-mas stuff in stores and even onsome houses beforeHalloween,something is very wrong. I likeChristmasandthereligiousrea-son for the season, but the com-mercial aspect of it has gottenway out of hand and so cloudsthe entire last three months ofthe year that it is not an enjoy-

able time of the year for me.“Black Friday? Now Black

Thanksgiving? Heck, it seemslike Black November and De-cember. People, stop the mad-ness, please. Here’s my simpleplan: No Christmas decorationsbefore Thanksgiving and theyall come down on New YearsDay. Avoid shopping on anyBlack Anything day. Go for ahike in the woods instead, infi-nitely more relaxing and freetoo. Buy simple meaningful, af-fordable gifts or make some-thing for the gifts. Don’t mort-gage the better part of the com-ing new year by going deeply indebt for Christmas. Enjoy theseason, and smile!”

M.J.F.

“As longas theycall itChrist-mas, Idon’tcare if it isonthe4thof July. When the word ‘Holi-day’ or the ‘Season’ is substitut-ed they aren’t going to get mybusiness anytime. For thosethat don’t celebrate Christmas,I am all for you having any adsyou wish and shop anywhereyou like during the ‘Christmas

celebration.’“No one makes me shop or

buy what I don’t want, eventhoughIagreewithmywife,myold habit of only shopping onChristmas Eve got a little silly.

“Merry Christmas!”Don Brown

My clothesline is lad-en today, not with laun-dry, but with three inchesof snow and ice - so much

that it dipsin the mid-dle.

I wasstunnedwhen Iwent outearly tofeed andwater the“girls”/chickens.What a

beautiful sight. The snowclung to everything,from the tallest pine treeto the overhang on theouthouse to the trailingthyme in the herb gar-den. It was so cold that Ihad to take boiling waterto the chicks. After just acouple of minutes, theydipped their beaks intopleasantly 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 for dust-ing

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 teaspoons vanilla3/4 teaspoon baking

powder1/4 teaspoon salt2 sticks unsalted but-

ter, softened1 -1/4 cups sugarOne 13-ounce jar Nu-

tella, warmed if neces-sary for easing spreading

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. On me-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 anotherthird of batter and rest ofNutella. Top with remain-ing batter. Lightly swirlNutella into batter. Don’tover mix. Bake for about1 hour and 15 minutes,until toothpick insertedin center comes outclean. Let cool in pan for15 minutes. Invert ontowire rack, turn right sideup and let cool complete-ly.

Gilding the lily: Aftercooling, drizzle on a glazemade with 1/2 cup con-fectioners sugar andeither 1 tablespoonbrewed espresso or milkor water with 1 teaspoonvanilla.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

When freezing bakedgoods, cool completelybefore freezing.

Otherwise, moisturebuilds 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 saladfor Village gardeners of

Glendale’s meeting andtopped it with her mom’specans. When she toldme the story of the pe-cans, I knew I had toshare it with you. Here’swhat Diane said: “I espe-cially want you to havemymom’s recipe for hereasy-but-delicious holi-day pecans. This is therecipe, written in herown hand, that I hadreproduced, and enclosedin the acknowledgementnotes sent after her fu-neral-- a personal littlegift from her-- to familyand friends. Many haveexpressed their delightin receiving 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 cup water2 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 workvery fast. When the syr-up is ready, dump in the

pecans 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 GeneralMike DeWine says, “Con-sumers are lured in by alow initial price, but then

arechargedmuch high-er rates.”

I report-ed on thisscam sev-en yearsago when aDayton,Kentucky,woman

told me her fiancé calledInformation to find alocksmith. He was giventhe 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, “Thesekinds of operations takeadvantage of consumersand unfairly undercutlocal, honest locksmithbusinesses.”

Another problem withsuch companies is some-times they have to break

the 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 forwhen 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 Portland

firm 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. Be sure to look upthe locksmith’s addres-s—and actually go thereto make sure the compa-ny really is local.

I checked out a lock-smith company once thatused a real street nameand city for its location.The problem is when Iwent to that locationthere was nothing there –literally nothing – therewas no building at all atthat address.
