lights in a great stadiumthe community built.

“Football and this com-munity continue to teachme the valuable lessonsabout character, determi-nation and followthrough,” he said.

A multifunctional sta-dium, the turf can bepainted to support foot-ball, soccer and lacrosse.The field is surroundedbyan eight-lane competitive

for the township throughits tax department, andhe said the revenue gen-erated from the incometax will be split betweenthe township and Chevi-ot. Green Township willretain 90 percent of therevenue and Cheviot willget 10 percent, Hyle said.Revenue generated fromthe JEDD will go into thetownship’s general fund,he said.

Green Township As-sistantAdministrator/Di-rector of Planning andDevelopment AdamGoetzman said theHarri-son Greene JEDD is esti-mated to generate be-tween $38,000 and$45,000 per year for thetownship when it’s com-pleted and all the compo-nents are fully up andrunning. The retail andrestaurant aspect of theproject is being devel-oped first and should becompleted sometimenext year, he said. Thesecond phase is the con-struction of the officebuilding, and Goetzmansaid it will likely be fin-ished in the third year ofthe development.

He said the townshipfigures to receive about$100,000 from the JEDDduring the course of thefirst five years. It’s esti-mated the township willcollect a total of about$350,000 from the JEDDby year 10, he said.

The township is spend-ing tax increment financ-ingfundsto improveHar-rison Avenue and up-grade the intersectionand traffic signal at Har-rison Avenue and West-wood Northern Boule-vard for the develop-ment, and Hyle said theJEDD is a way for thetownship to recoup someof those costs.

“The township looks topartially reimburse itselfover the long haul,” hesaid.

Trustee Chairman To-ny Rosiello pointed outthe fact that because themoney goes into the gen-

eral fund it can be used topay for police and fireservices as well.

“Weknowtherewill beadditional obligations onour police and fire de-partmentsas thesedevel-opments occur, so thismoney is also planned tohelp offset the additionalcosts to the township tosupport those new busi-nesses,” Hyle said.

Cheviot Mayor Samu-elKellersaid thecitywel-comes the boost anotherJEDDprovides to its gen-eral fund. “With all thecuts that have beenmadeat the federal, state andcounty levels, especiallythe state level, we’ve losta significant amount ofrevenue,” he said. “Thisis a way to make up forsome of that lost revenuewithout having to raisetaxes for our residents.”

In addition to the threeJEDDs the city has withGreen Township, Kellersaid Cheviot also has onewith Colerain Townshipand is looking into onewith Delhi Township.

JEDD VS. JEDZWhat is the difference

between a Joint Econom-ic Development Districtand a Joint EconomicDevelopment Zone?Joint economic devel-

opment zones have beenin the news after theOhio legislature passed alaw this spring toughen-ing requirements for suchzones established beforeDec. 31 and prohibitingthe creation of any newor expanded zones afterthe first of the year.The new state law does

not affect joint economicdevelopment districts.Under the new law,

municipalities wanting toestablish a joint economicdevelopment zone mustfirst create a Joint Eco-nomic DevelopmentReview Council to lookover the developmentplan and approve it.Establishing a joint

economic developmentzone also requires amajority vote of theresidents of the townshipor village seeking cre-ation of the zone, whichwas a stipulation in placefor joint economic devel-opment zones prior tothe new law being en-acted.Communities forming

JEDZ do not need com-mon borders.A joint economic devel-

opment district does notrequire a public vote orapproval from a reviewcouncil.Joint economic devel-

opment districts can beestablished by townshipsor villages as long as theproperty owners or busi-nesses located within thespecific geographic dis-trict sign a petition agree-ing to the creation of thedistrict.Green Township now

has four joint economicdevelopment districts.The township does nothave any joint economicdevelopment zones.

SHORT HOPS

By Tom Skeentskeen@communitypress.com

PRICE HILL — The Seton HighSchool volleyball team is justeight years removed from its lastOhioHighSchoolAthleticAssoci-ation state championship.

Now as they stare at those sixstate championship bannershanging from the walls of thegymnasium, first-year coach,Dion Reyes, has been assignedthe task of rebuilding a programthat hasn’t had a winning seasonsince 2007.

An 0-5 start isn’t how Reyespictures his first season begin-ning, but with a roster sans a sen-ior and only three players withvarsity experience (Stefanie Au-tenrieb, Ashley Luebbe and KoriRudolph), Reyes knows, andlikes, the uphill battle he faces.

“Idon’tmindmaking the toughdecisions and taking this on,” hesaid after his Saints lost in threesets to Sycamore High School,Aug. 28. “I do enjoy the challengeof knowing at the end of the day,when it’s all said and done, we’retruly going to improve this pro-gram. It’s just going to take sometime, but I enjoy seeing themgrow and we’ve already grown atremendous amount.”

Reyes’ decision to gowithout asenior is an interesting one con-sidering there were five juniors,who are currently seniors, wholaced it up last season for theSaints. Reyes says the decisionwas made in part to give him andhis coaching staff multiple yearsto work with the same group ofgirls to better their efforts of re-building the program.

“We made that decision and itis a challenge in that we’re youngand inexperienced, but we alsofeel that thegirls havea tonofup-side and we have multiple yearswith themtogrowthemandmakethem the players that we knowthey can be,” the first-year coachsaid. “We feel that they will bethere and they will grow andthose leadership qualities will bethere eventually.”

Autenrieb already has shownthe qualities Reyes seeks. Out-side of beingoneof theSaints’ topstatistical leader (32 kills, 11 ser-vice aces), the junior is one of thevocal leaders both on and off thecourt.

“She is really developed into

the leader of this team,” Reyessaid. “She’s out there hustling allthe time. That’s just the kind ofkid she is. She give 110 percentand tries to be positive all thetime.”

Autenrieb and Luebbe – a ju-nior–alongwithsophomoresCar-oline Kramer, Peyton McCarthyand Rudolph give Reyes a young,

solid nucleus to work with mov-ing forward. McCarthy is return-ing from an injury that kept heroff the court for five months, butReyes believes when he gets hismiddleblockerbackfullyhealthyshe will make a big difference onthe front line.

“It’s a little hard for her tomove sometimes and she’s not asquickasshe’sbeen in thepast, butshe’s working towards recover-ing from that and that’s just goingto take time,” the coach said. “Wehave to be patient with that, but Ifeel she’s going to become whoshe’s always been eventually.”

In the meantime, Reyes andhisstaffwillworktofindtherightmix of players to be on the courttogether.Hesays teamchemistryis great and his players get along,but he hasn’t been able to quitefind the right mix through thefirst five games this season.

“They’re still young, so they’reused to playing a certain way at acertain level. To get to that nextlevel takes a lotmore thought andexperience and they’re gettingthat experience, but there’s goingto be a learning curve for them.”

GREEN TWP. — Elder shookoff a sluggish first quarter andcruised to a 34-6win on the roadat Oak Hills Friday night in thefirst game between the neigh-borhood rivals since 2008 andthe season opener for bothteamsaspart of the17thSkylineChili Crosstown Showdown.

Elder, rankedNo. 4 in the En-quirer Division I preseasoncoaches’ poll, earned its 24th-straightwin in theseriesand thePanthers improved to 27-5 all-time against Oak Hills.

The Highlanders have notbeaten Elder since an 18-0 finalin 1986.

The Panthers wore No. 9-ranked Oak Hills down throughthe final three quarters, but theHighlanders chewed upmost ofthe first-quarter clock and El-der could not move the ball in ascoreless period.

“We were nervous,” Eldercoach Doug Ramsey said. “Wereally played kind of shook andI’m not surprised. We’re young.We’ve got some experience, butwe still have a lot of inexperi-ence and we’re young. So wecameout a little nervous, butwesettled in and played prettywellafter that.”

Oak Hills came up empty ontwo first-half red zone chances.

TheHighlandersdroveasfaras the Elder 6 during the game-opening drive, but a high snapon a third-and-1 play and ablocked field goal try foiled themomentum. Two possessionslater, senior defensive backJakeForte interceptedElder ju-nior quarterback Peyton Ram-sey at the Oak Hills 5 on fourth-and-6oneminute intothesecondquarter.ButHighlanderssopho-more quarterback CooperScholz lost a fumble at his own30.

That’s when junior runningback Ja'Vahri Portis took it sixyards around the left side for a6-0 Elder lead with 8:21 play be-forehalftime.OakHills then ad-vancedto theredzoneagain,butturned the ball over on downs attheElder 20. Several plays later,Ramsey went one yard aroundthe left for a 13-0 lead with lessthan a minute before halftime.

“We were just a little toohyped,” Portis said. “We calmedourselves down and got to it.Werealized what the goal was andthat’s to win the game.

“We just had to execute andthat’s what we came out and didthe second quarter.”

Play of the Game: Elder Ju-

nior tight end Brannen Martincapped the first drive of thethird quarter with his first ca-reer touchdown for Elder, a 9-yard reception from Ramsey inthe front corner of the end zonefor a three-score lead.

“Wewere just running a littlefive-yard out route and Peytonwas just standing in thepocket,”Martin said. “I just drifted backa little bit ad tip-toed the ball. Itook out the pylon.”

Moments later, Elder seniordefensive back Matt Peters fol-lowed with a 25-yard intercep-tionreturnforatouchdown.Por-tis added a 1-yard touchdownrun not long after a 75-minutelightning delay andmuch of theremainder of the game wasplayed with running clock.

“That was huge,” Martinsaid. “We’ll take any points wecan get, that’s for sure.”

Players of the Game:Portiswas named the game’s mostvaluable player after leading

thePantherswith 99yards on24carries with the two touch-downs.

Senior receiver Jason Wal-ters was the MVP for the High-landers and had the only scorefor Oak Hills, an 11-yard recep-tion from sophomore quarter-backCooperScholz.Walters fin-ishedwith seven catches for139yards and9 carries for 39yards.

View From the Sideline:“We like to run it, but we actual-ly wanted to come out andthrow,” Ramsey said. “They dida really good job early and hadsome things that we hadn’t seenthem do. They got some sacksearly and got us off track, sothey did a good job defensivelyElder 0 13 21 0 –– 34Oak Hills 0 0 0 6 –– 6E- Portis 6 run (kick failed).E- Ramsey 1 run (Porter kick).E - Martin 9 pass from Ramsey (Porter kick).E.

“The one aspect of cursivethat is very helpful is for takingnotes during a class or lecture.By its very nature it is a form offree-flow writing that allows in-formation to be written downquicker than ifoneweretoresorttoprintingoutnotes.However,asmore technology comes on line,the need to take notes by handmay go by the wayside.

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS, COLUMNS POLICY

As the late Charles Kuraltstated on Sunday, Nov. 10,1990, on the “CBSMorningNews,” “The winds of changehave blown through the Col-lege of Mount St. Joseph.”

That fall, when 70 youngmen arrived on campus tolaunch a football program at

the formerall-women’scollege inDelhi Town-ship underthe directionof the latelegendarycoach JohnnyPont, thecampus be-gan a trans-formation tobecome co-ed

and build a men’s athleticsprogram that could somedaycompete in the NCAADivi-sion III.

The Pont EraThat first training camp

was brutal. Coach Pont movedevery player, trainer andcoach into Seton Hall, wherewe lived for 21 days withoutair conditioning.

We had a kicker fromGreece, a wide receiver fromWashington state, severalyoung men fromNorthernOhio and Indianapolis whereCoach Pont had great connec-tions through his years ofcoaching, and a large numberof local players who saw theMount as an opportunity toplay right away.

Our practice field wasabout 70 yards long withrocks all over. Our shoes werespray-painted black becauseCoach Pont didn’t like thewhite shoes that were donatedfrom another local university.We only had one goal post, thecoaches dressed in a boilerroom and post-gamemealswere peanut butter and jellyand turkey and swiss sand-wiches made by the coaches.

Everyone seemed to loveevery minute of it.

Sister Elizabeth, dean ofstudents, and Sister Francis,president, were tremendousleaders and did not waver ontheir commitment to get thefootball program off theground. They attended prac-tice regularly and the playersand staff had great respectfor them.

Rose Hulman Institute ofTechnology, coached by one of

Coach Pont’s former players,would be our first road gameand we really believed wecould win. Coach Pont deliv-ered an unbelievable pregamespeech that ended with everyplayer and coach chanting atthe top of their lungs. Weplayed a nearly flawless gameand actually won the firstgame in our history, 31-10. Theplayers carried Coach Pontoff the field with tears in hiseyes.

We never won anothergame that fall, but a founda-tion had been laid, throughblood, sweat and tears, thatwould allow the Mount tomove forward in building aco-ed campus.

Over the next two seasons,through the generosity of hisfriends, Coach Pont wouldbuild a weight room, a real120-yard practice field andrenovate locker rooms. Hewas the backbone of the pro-gram and tried very hard toimpart on his players a truerespect for the College ofMount St. Joseph and theSisters of Charity.

When he told the teamafter the third season that hewas going to step down and goto Japan to help start profes-sional football, I don’t thinkthere was a dry eye in theroom.

The Corrradini Era:Ron Corradini, an assistant

to Coach Pont at Miami Uni-versity in the 1960s, wasnamed the next head coachwithout hesitation. He wasalready at the Mount as Pont’sdefensive coordinator, hadextensive experience at theNCAADivision I level in-cluding an Orange Bowl ringwhile at the University ofColorado, and the playerswanted him as their leader.

Under Coach Corradini, theMount football programwasdefined by toughness. Hebelieved you could teachtoughness and the playersbegan to make bigger com-mitments to the weight roomand offseason training.

TheMount added two newmen’s teams - wrestling andbaseball - in Corradini’s earlyyears, and began constructionof the new Sister Jean PatriceHarrington student center.

Coach Corradini alsoplayed a major role in helpingthe Mount move fromNAIAto NCAADivision III andsecure a place in the veryrespected Heartland Col-legiate Athletic Conference.Coach Corradini also made itvery clear before he retired in1999 to Sister Francis andSister Elizabeth that until theMount built a home footballstadium, we would strugglegetting top recruits and that afacility was necessary for theteam to move forward andhave a chance to win anHCAC championship.

The Huber Era:When Sister Francis of-

fered me the head coachingposition in the winter of 1999,I called two local high schoolhead coaches who I respectedvery much and both of themtold me not to take the job.

My first two seasons sawus lose 17 games in a row, butwe never lost sight of what wewanted to become or wherewe wanted the program to go.

The new sports complex atSchueler Field legitimized ourprogram and has allowed usto recruit the best and thebrightest in the region. Weentered this season with 120eligible players reporting totraining camp and picked tofinish second in the HCACpreseason poll. Football ishere to stay at the Mount andwe are very excited aboutwhere we are going.

The 25th anniversary:On Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. at

Schueler Field, we will cele-brate the 25th anniversary ofMount football before andduring our season openeragainst Augustana College.Bengal great and AugustanaalumKen Anderson will flipthe coin to start the game.

MSJ FOOTBALLPROUD OF PROGRAM TURNAROUND

With many more eyeswatching them thisseason, the Mount St.

Joseph University football pro-gram is hoping to put on a show.The Lions will spend all seasoncelebrating the program’s 25thanniversary and hope to cap itoff with their first trip to theplayoffs in half a decade.

The Lions return three firstteam all-conference players -center BrandonKeller, wide re-ceiver Leonard Riston (With-row), and kicker Shane Kelly(Turpin) - from a team that fin-ished 6-4 overall and 6-2 inHeartland Collegiate AthleticConference play in 2013. Thatwas a nice bounce back from adisappointing 2012 season inwhich the Lions finished below.500for thefirst timesince2001.

“We took a little step lastyear,” said Huber, who entershis 15th season as Lions headcoach.

A 34-0 loss to Rose-Hulmanultimately prevented the Lionsfrom earning a share of theHCAC title. Following the sea-son, the teamcovered itsweightroom with reminders of the fi-nal score of that game.

“We feel like we turned theprogram around last year, butthat loss really stuck in every-body’s head,” said Keller. “Itprovided a lot of motivation forus this offseason.”

The Lions are motivated tocapture their first conferencetitle since 2009. That yearcapped a string of five playoffberths in six years. The pro-gram has not reached the post-season since.

With a healthy balance of ex-perienced veterans and talent-ed newcomers, the Lions arepoised to impress the manyalumni who will be followingthe team closely as it marks itssilver anniversary. DavidBrausch (Batavia) joins Keller

as an anchor up front. At 6’8”,John Peters complements Ris-tonand isapopularredzonetar-get. The one-two punch of Den-zell Norvell and David FulcherJr. (Mason) in the backfield willtake the pressure off of thestarting quarterback, whoeverit turns out to be.Threeplayers,including sophomore Mike Wil-liams (Taft), are in the mix forthe starting nod.

Several freshmen will be ex-pected to contribute right away.TightendTaylorLee (Elder), of-fensive lineman Brad Popple-well (Moeller), andquarterbackGreg Simpson (Sycamore)couldallplay importantrolesonthe offense. They are part of a

class of 72, the largest incomingclass of freshmen to join theprogram.

“This is one of the bestrecruiting classes we’ve had in25 years,” said Huber.

Linebackers Konnor Blevins(Lakota West) and BrentMcCleerey lead the defense.Safety Judge Love anchors thesecondary,whileJoeMeadeandRashee Billingswill wreak hav-oc on the defensive line.

Several former players havestopped by practices duringtraining camp to share their ex-perience playing for theMount.Many of the alums have toldtales of capping their careerswith a conference champion-

ship and playoff trip. Kellerhopes that his class can recap-ture that feeling and bring an-other HCAC title to the proudprogram.

“It’sreallycool to learnaboutthe history of the program andto see how far the program hascome,” said Keller. “We want toshow everyone how good wecanbeandwewant toprovethaton the field this season.”

The Lions open the season at6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6, atSchuelerFieldagainstAugusta-na. Cincinnati Bengals greatand Augustana alum Ken An-dersonwill toss the coin. Every-one involved in the 25-year his-tory of Mount St. Joseph foot-

ball is invited to attend thegame and join in the pre-gamefestivities. The inaugural 1989team will be recognized on thefield.

WhenHuber lefthis jobasanassistant coach at CAPE to jointhe fledgling college program25 years ago, many of his col-leagues doubted him.Now, he islooking forward to celebratingthis season, the first under thenewbanner ofMount St. JosephUniversity (formerly the Col-lege of Mount St. Joseph).

“People toldme, ‘They’llnev-er win. They’ll never give youwhat it takes to win,’” saidHub-er. “What if Ididn’t comehere? Iwouldn’t be living a dream.”

Mount St. Joseph head coach Rod Huber is hoping he and his players can ring the team’s victory bell often in 2014. THANKS TO NATALIE MAXWELL/MSJ

The Thomas More Collegefootball program knowsthat it cannot take any

game for granted. The Saintshavewon16 games and lost justthree conference games overthe past two seasons, yet are inthe midst of their longest play-off drought since 2007. Thepro-gram is looking to snap out of aperiod of disappointing suc-cess. The Saints are consistent-ly ranked in the national top 25and are recognized as a peren-nial playoff contender, but thepast two seasons have ended infrustration.

Many thought 2012 was anaberration. The Saints lostthree games after losing justone regular season game overthe prior three seasons. The2013 season was supposed to bethe year the program returnedto the postseason with a ven-geance. Instead, they went 9-1,lost a conference game, andwere one of the last teams onthe bubble to miss the 32-teamDivision III playoffs.

When 32 teams other thanthe Saints heard their namescalled on that Sunday last No-vember, the fuel for the 2014season ignited into a fire.

“Itputachiponourshoulder.

That edge has helped us goinginto the offseason,” said headcoach Jim Hilvert. “This ismaybe the best offseasonwe’vehad in my time at ThomasMore.”

The Saints will be led by All-American running back Domo-nique Hayden, who led the na-tion in rushing as a junior byav-eraging 201.7 yards per game.He was the only Division IIIback torushformore than2,000yards last seasonandhe tied forthenational lead in scoringwith28 touchdowns.

“He’s the kind of guy whokeeps things in stride anddoesn’t listen to outside noise,”Hilvert said. “He’s really be-come a more vocal leader forus. Guys look to him based onthe success he’s had on thefield.”

Hayden has received manypreseason accolades and hasbeen visited by scouts fromthree NFL teams so far. It is hishunger and drive to continue toimprove that motivates histeammates.

“Mychildhooddreamwasal-ways to make it to the NFL,”said Hayden, “but I really de-pend onmy teammates and I al-ways want to keep workinghard and play for them.”

Theoffense is farfromaone-man show. Quarterback Jensen

Gebhardt (Kings)andreceiversBobbyLeonard (SimonKenton)and Goose Cohorn (DixieHeights) give the Saints one ofthe nation’s most balanced and

potent offensive attacks. Quen-tin Campbell returns from aknee injury that costhimnearlyall of the 2013 season to anchorthe offensive line.

“We really came together inthe offseason,” Hayden said.“Our strength has really im-proved, andwereallybondedasteammates.”

Three veteran players re-turning from injury will be aboost for the defense. LinemenChris Bowman (Brossart) andTyler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate)and defensive back Jake Fish-burn (Elder) all return for theirsenior seasonwith something toprove.

“Those additions to our de-fense will be a huge help,” saidHilvert.

The goals and expectationsfor this season are lofty. The2014 Saints are determined toreturn to the playoffs and wantto be the first team in programhistory toadvance to thenation-al quarterfinals and beyond.They learned their lesson lastyear that one bad game, or evenonebadquarter, cancompletelyderail a team from reaching itsgoals.

“We know that when we faceadversity, we have to come to-gether and overcome it,” saidHayden. “We want to be one ofthe best teams to ever comethrough Division III football.”

The Saints, ranked No. 22 inthe D3football.com preseasonpoll, open the season at No. 5Wesley.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • B3LIFE

I had to laugh as myhusband, Frank, and Itromped over to neighborTony’s home across thefield to pick, of all things,corn.

It made me chucklebecause we planted our

corn sever-al timesand onlygot a spot-ty harvest.The volesate most ofthe seed.Frankplowedboth ourfield andTony’s and

helped plant Tony’s, aswell. Not one vole made itacross the field to Tony’s.I guess they were happilyfed here at home. Wepicked a wheelbarrowfull in the morning andby afternoon, it wasshucked, blanched, re-moved from the cob andfrozen. A nice accom-plishment.

Although our cornharvest was a disappoint-ment, our potatoes didwell. After sampling15-year-old Mary Cau-dill’s potato salad at aneighborhood gathering,I couldn’t wait to digsome up andmake it.

Creamypotato salad

Mary found this recipein one of her mom’s “old”cookbooks. “Old” to Maryis anything before 2000.This was in a BetterHomes & Garden cook-book from1981. Not soold to me! Here’s myslight adaptation.

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

1 cup thinly slicedcelery

1/2 cup finely choppedonion

1/3 cup chopped sweetor dill pickle - I like dill

1-1/4 cups real mayon-naise

2 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons celery

seed2 teaspoons vinegar2 teaspoons prepared

mustard1-1/2 teaspoons salt3 hard-cooked eggs,

coarsely choppedCook potatoes in boil-

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

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen:

Potatoes contain vita-min C for your immunesystem and potassium forhealthy hearts and mus-cles.

Egg yolks containvitamin D for bonehealth.

Easy corn souffléThis is different than

the norm, as it containscheese. Sometimes I’llthrow in a

palm-full of choppedchives, as well. I thinkyou’ll like it!

3 large eggs3 tablespoons flour1 generous tablespoon

sugarSeveral grindings of

black pepper16 oz. can creamed

style corn2 cups fresh corn or

frozen, thawed anddrained

4 oz. shreddedMex-ican cheese blend orMonterey Jack

1/2 red bell pepper,chopped or 2 oz. jar pi-mientos, drained (option-al)

1/3 cup milkPreheat oven to 350.

Spray an 8-inch baking

dish. Place in oven whilepreparing soufflé. Withmixer, combine eggs,flour, sugar and peppertogether and then beat onhigh speed until smooth.Stir in both kinds of corn,cheese, peppers if usingandmilk. Pour into hotbaking dish and bake,uncovered, 55 minutes oruntil set. Let stand 15minutes before serving.

Did you know?Corn is not a vegeta-

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

Drying herbs

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

Or strip leaves fromstem, chop coarsely and

place in single layer onscreen or towel to dry.You’ll know they’re readywhen they are crisp.Store away from heat andlight.

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

B4 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • SEPTEMBER 3, 2014 LIFE

Rising utility ratesare prompting manyOhioans to considerswitching to alternativeenergy providers.Many are finding thelow rates for whichthey initially signed updidn’t remain that way.

Larry Dowler ofLiberty Township saysthe rates charged by

his al-ternativeenergysupplier,Cincin-nati BellEnergy,variedverylittle forabout twoyears.

“Itwas around 6 cents perkilowatt hour,” Dowlersaid.

The rate Dowlerpaid was in line withthat charged by DukeEnergy Ohio – until latelast year.

He says, “I didn’treally realize it but itwent to 8.99 cents perkilowatt hour and thendid the same thing forthe January billing.”

That higher electriccharge meant Dowler’sutility bills started tosoar for his all-electrichome.

“It went to $600 forthe February bill. Isaid, ‘Wait a minute.’ Istarted researching itand found it went from6.15 cents per kilowatthour to 8.99 cents thento 9.99 cents for twomonths,” Dowler says.

Dowler called Cin-cinnati Bell Energy tocomplain and learnedhe had been switched toa variable rate whenthe fixed rate, forwhich he had signed up,ended.

Dowler isn’t alone.Many people with vari-able energy rates alsosaw their bills jump.He says Cincinnati BellEnergy told him itraised rates just asother companies haddone.

The Duke Energybill has an area called“Price to Compare”which tells you howmuch Duke is chargingfor electricity thatmonth. Dowler saysafter checking that ratehe realized he’d been

charged a total of $600more than if he hadstayed with Duke Ener-gy.

I saw this first handafter I signed up withan alternative naturalgas supplier. The ad-vertised rate was verylow but it only lasted afew months. Sureenough, right after thatguaranteed low rateperiod ended I wascharged more thanDuke’s price because Inow had a variablerate.

There are 47 differ-ent energy supplierscertified to serve DukeEnergy Ohio custom-ers. Many of thosecompanies offer vari-able rates, so Dowlersays he’s learned it’s agood idea to carefullycheck your bill everymonth to see exactlywhat rate you’re beingcharged.

Dowler says, “Italked to a friend atchurch and said, ‘Doyou realize this? Didyou check your bill?’He got his next bill andhis was 8.99 cents perkilowatt hour. Previ-ously it was 5.8 centsper kilowatt hour.”

A Cincinnati BellEnergy spokeswomansaid the high winterrates were driven by anunusual spike in de-mand due to the ex-tremely cold weatherin much of the nation.Rates were similar tothat charged by otherenergy providers withvariable rate plans.

Since then the rateshave come back down.

Bottom line, whenyou sign up for a low,fixed, starter rate beaware that will likelyincrease when the dealends. Variable ratescan jump drasticallyfrommonth to monthso you need to carefullyreview your utility billevery month. Check the“Price to Compare”rate so you can makesure you’re not payingmore than that chargedby Duke.
