MADEIRA — Mayor Rick Bra- sington has formed an Economic Development Committee task force to come up with a game plan for the former Kutol Products Co. property on Camargo Road and the area surrounding it. The initiative comes two months after Madeira City Coun- cil voted against zone changes that would have allowed Indian Hill businessman Richard Greiwe and his partner, North American Properties of downtown Cincin- nati, to build a 184- unit luxury apart- ment complex on the site vacated by Kutol when it moved to Sharonville last year. Greiwe’s proposal sparked formation of citizen groups on both sides of the issue. The pro- posal’s demise at a hotly contest- ed Madeira City Council meeting in June prompted Greiwe to ad- vise city council that it should de- cide what kind of development it wants on the Kutol site before en- gaging a developer. “Until this happens the site will stay vacant and Madeira will lose a wonderful economic-de- velopment opportunity,” Greiwe said.

development.Why did you form the
Economic DevelopmentCommittee task force?
“The Kutol propertywas the impetus. Iwantedto see from an indepen-dent panel what the po-tential uses are for thatparcel aswell as the prop-erties to the west whichwould be impacted bywhat went on at Kutol. Ibelieve the city needs abetter idea of what is thebest and highest use of
that land area.”What will the task
force do?“The purpose of the
task force is to explorepotential land uses of theKutol property and theproperties west to Shaw-nee Run Road, and pro-vide recommendations tothe city for potential re-development.
“The approach is tostart with a clean slate,disregarding currentzoning, but factor in de-mographics, topography,economics, traffic pat-terns, current businessconditions and surround-ing property uses.”
What happened atthe task force’s firstmeeting on Aug. 22?
“Nine of the 10 peopleon the task force were inattendance aswell as sev-en members of the com-munity. Those citizenswho expressed an inter-est in participating in thediscussion were invited
by email and several ofthem attended.
“There was good dis-cussion of the potentialuses and physical proper-ties of the land among thetask force with inputfrom the citizens in atten-dance.We have arrived ata process inwhichwewilllist all the potential uses
and create a matrix withthe advantages and dis-advantages of each use.
“Our goal is to reach aconsensus on the top bestuses for that area and of-fer options that are a realpossibility for implemen-tation in the short term,”Brasington said. We aregrateful for the time andefforts of the volunteerexperts on the panel.Those sentiments wereechoed by the citizens inattendance as well.”
What’s next?“Our next step is to
gather market informa-tion such as demograph-ics, economic indicators,occupancy data, trafficinformation and the liketo make a data-driven de-cision on the best optionsfor that land.
“The nextmeetingwilltake place once that datais in hand and we can ar-rive at a mutually conve-nient time.”

COLUMBIA TWP. — Offi-cials inColumbiaTownshipare preparing a levy fornext year, but theneedmaycome sooner than expect-ed.
During the ColumbiaTownship trusteesmeetingAug.14, Fiscal Officer PaulDavis said the townshiphas made some updates tothe budget it submitted tothe county several weeksago.
The township miscalcu-lated its revenue projec-tions for 2013 by approxi-mately $154,000. The ma-jority of the differencecomes from the generalfund at $139,775, with theremaining $18,331 comingfrom the waste fund.
The township originallyanticipated spending morethan $500,000 than it willcollect in taxes next year –with revenue projected at$2.48 million and expensesestimated at $2.9 million, a4.5 percent difference.
The increased expensesare mostly due to the re-payment of $197,000 inprincipal and $12,991 in in-terest for a loan to pay forroad improvements in theWilliams Meadow neigh-borhood.
Davis said the town-ship’s revenue projectionsfell short, whichmeans thereserve fund will be “lessthan expected” in 2013.
Davis reiteratedColum-bia Township’s plan toplace a levy on the Novem-ber 2013 budget, but notedit may help to move thatballot measure to thespring.
“We need to make somedecisions on that,” he said.
Township Administra-tor Michael Lemon said re-gardless of when the town-ship seeks a levy the fundswon’t be collected until2014.
He said the overesti-mated number was due tothe number of state cut-backs.

COLUMBIA TWP.—Mad-Tree Brewing is coming toColumbia Township, andsubsequently, the Cincin-nati area as a whole.
The brewery began as ahobby for three friends,and is now looking to begindistributing its uniquelycrafted beers on a largescale.
MadTree got its humblebeginning around 2006,when Madisonville resi-dent Brady Duncan andOakley residents JeffHuntand Kenny McNutt beganbrewing beer. Those firstbatches weren’t quite thequality they were accus-tomed to, so they began re-searching and using “moreintense” equipment, ac-cording to McNutt.
“We basically tried tolearn everything you need,science-wise,” he said.
Duncan said once theidea of brewing beer on alarger scale was intro-duced, the three friendstook eight months to con-tinue perfecting theirbeers. He said that processincluded tweaking ingredi-ents one at a time, and per-forming taste testswith thegroup’s social beer club.
McNutt said the groupalso worked on the busi-ness aspect of the breweryduring those initialmonths, determining ifopening thebrewerywouldbe economically viable andthe size andscopeof theop-eration that would lead to asuccessful launch.
Hunt said when thosefactorsweredetermined, itwas time to obtain a bankloan and begin raising cap-ital.
“We basically solicitedeverybody we know andanyone who likes beer,”McNutt said.
When it came time to
find a headquarters forMadTree, the three friendslooked throughout thearea.McNuttsaidMadTreehad an affinity for the
Over-the-Rhine area, butcouldn’t find a suitable lo-cation that matched theirneeds and potential to ex-pand.
He said the brewersfound the ideal location inColumbia Township onKennedy Avenue.
“This should suit us foryears to come,” McNuttsaid.
MadTree will start withthree “year round” beers –anamber, adarkbrownanda IPA - before bringingnewbrews to the public.
Anyone interested intasting MadTree shouldfirst look to their localdrinking establishments.Duncan said they will firstwork with distributors toget their beers into localbars and soon after willstart canning MadTree.
Hunt said MadTree willstart brewing slowly, andthengraduallyrampup.He
said it’s important to getthe system figured outfirst.
Duncan said the taste ofMadTree beer can competewith the larger beer com-panies, and the local brew-er is now trying to provethey can match the morepopular brews on a largerscale.
“That’s where we arenow,” he said.

One recent high schoolgraduateexemplifies it canbe better to be good in acoupleofareas, rather thanexcellent in only one.
Kaitlin Fahey, a 2012graduate of Deer Park Ju-nior/Senior High School,received a Discus Awardfor the 2011-2012 schoolyear. The program, whoseslogan is “Honoring theAll-Around High SchoolStudent,” focuses itsawards on students whocan show distinct achieve-ment in several areas, rath-er than exceptional perfor-mance in one.
Fahey was nominatedby her father, Michael, andwas asked to complete theapplication for the award.She chose the areas of aca-demics, athletics and otherachievements out of10 pos-sible categories to promoteher qualifications for theaward, she said.
Describing her successin advanced placementclasses, dance, soccer,withparticipation in an extra-curricular program at theUniversity of Cincinnatiand the National Honor So-ciety, the 2012 co-valedic-torian also submittedvideosofDeerPark’svarsi-ty dance team with her ap-plication.
While she said she hadtrouble flattering herselfin the application, Faheylisted her accomplish-ments, while pointing toher eventual goal of be-coming a pediatrician.
“I pretty much saidwhatIwas involved in,”she
said. “I didn’t focus on flat-tering myself, I just saidwhat I was all about.”
Owned by ScholarshipStrategies, LLC, theDiscusAwards recognizes “well-rounded high school stu-dents,” as Fahey and thecompany describe it. Stu-dents across the UnitedStates can win the award,and each are entered into apool, out of which once amonth during the schoolyear a $2,000 scholarship isawarded to a student.
The soon-to-be Univer-sityofKentuckyfreshman,
whowill studybiologywitha pre-medicine focus, saidshe likes that this award fo-cuses on the “big picture,”and it’s an achievementanyone can strive for.
“Whatever you’re goodat or think you’re good at,they give you that recogni-tion,” she said.

After putting in the summer work,the local prep volleyball competitionis underway with several programs incontention.
Leading that pack is Mount NotreDame, which won its sixth Division Istate title last season with a success-ful tournament run through WrightState’s Nutter Center.
The Cougars lost three players toDivision I colleges (Kelsey Wolf-Ken-tucky, Aubree Hord-DePaul, MaryCrema-UC) along with eight othertalented seniors.
However, coach Joe Burke hasseveral key returners from the 201124-5 squad, including last season’sGirls Greater Cincinnati League-Scarlet division player of the yearMichelle Strizak. Burke was coach ofthe year.
“Michelle has developed into one ofthe best outside hitters in the nationand provides a lot of experience forthe 2012 Cougars,” Burke said.
Also back from the championshipstarting lineup is junior right sidehitter Christine Chandler (GGCLsecond team).
Stepping in to start this year aresenior middle blocker Sarah Hill,senior libero Brittany Inks and seniormiddle blocker McKenzie Jones.Chandler, Hill and Jones are expectedto lead the MND offense.
“Defensively, I think we will beable to improve daily into a very gooddefensive team,” Burke said. “Wehave a lot of defenders including Brit-tany Inks, Margo Wolf and MirandPuthoff. The offseason has gone verywell.”
Puthoff has verbally committed toWright State, with Michelle Strizakcommitting to Illinois prior to lastseason’s title run.
The Cougars are on the roadagainst Lakota West Aug. 30 and thenback home with Sycamore Sept. 4.
Deer Park looks to recover from a
winless season in the Cincinnati HillsLeague (1-19 overall) in 2011.
On the upside, CHL first-team play-er Jami Berling is back for her seniorcampaign. Berling had 152 kills toaverage 2.34 per game last season.She was ranked No. 21 in the league.
The Lady Wildcats start with atough draw for their first road gameas they travel to Wyoming Aug. 30.The Cowboys were undefeated in theleague last season. Deer Park is backhome with Reading Sept. 4.
Indian Hill’s girls finished 8-15 (6-8CHL) under coach Ellen Hughes in2011.
Hughes had two key losses with thegraduation of Allison Dammeyer(CHL first team) and Sarah Arington
(honorable mention).Junior middle blocker Lauren
Epcke (5-foot-9) brings some veteranexperience after finishing No. 24 inthe league in attack numbers. SeniorJulia Schroeder will start at setterand seniors Lindy Howe and AddieFries will be defensive specialists.
“Our defense is headed by our sen-iors, but basically our offense is allsophomores and a couple juniors,”Hughes said. “They (underclassmen)played in the offseason and did amaz-ingly well. I think this is a team thatwill grow a lot during the season.”
Hughes looks for sophomores Mac-kenzie McMillan and Marie Taylorplus juniors Lindsey Tracy and MaddiBennett to also factor into IndianHill’s success.
The Lady Braves are at Taylor Aug.30, before hosting the defendingchampion Wyoming Cowboys Sept. 4.
“I think we’ll finish hopefully in thetop three,” Hughes said of her leaguechances. “Definitely Wyoming is apowerhouse. We know that going intothe season. We can finish second if weimprove the way we should.”
At Madeira, it’s year two for coachErin Tyahur. Her Amazons finished8-6 last season for fourth place in theCHL and 14-9 overall.
Tyahur gets back senior outsidehitter Abby Jones and junior liberoSydney Cox who were both CHL hon-orable mention last season.
Other starters returning are sopho-more Frances Barone, and seniorsDevon Hutchinson, Hannah Tytus andKelsey Williamson. Sophomore setterMegan Almquist also will be in theMadeira mix.
“Sophomores Frances Barone andMegan Almquist have been bestfriends since first grade and both arestarting varsity and play club togeth-er all year round,” Tyahur said. “Ourunderclassmen are very strong andwe have strong senior leadership.”
After away matches at Deer Parkand Reading, the Amazons host Marie-mont on Sept. 4.

FootballContinued from Page A6It is hard to imagine a
team being disappointedwith winning 31 of itspast 35 games.
While disappointmentmight be a bit too strong,the Thomas More Col-lege Saints remain hun-gry formore success. Af-ter reeling off twostraight undefeated reg-ular seasons capped byfirst round playoff victo-ries, the Saints slightlystumbled in 2011, losingtheir first regular sea-son game since 2008,their first conferencegame since 2007, and
their firstroundplayoffgame.
“Wecan’t besatisfied,”said headcoach JimHilvert.“We have
lofty goals for this sea-son.”
Hilvert enters hissixth season as theranked 22nd among allactive NCAA head foot-ball coaches in winningpercentage (.768). TheSaints are ranked 20th inthe D3football.com pre-season Top 25. Seniorsafety Zach Autenrieb(Elder) enters the seasonwith 24 career intercep-tions, six shy of setting anew Division III recordfor career interceptions.
To help prepare for adeeper postseason runthis year, the Saints openthe season at11th-rankedSt. John Fisher. With thismuch hype and pressureheading into the season,the Saints will be testedearly and often in theirquest for a fifth-straightPresidents Athletic Con-ference title.
Sophomore quarter-back Luke Magnessopened eyes after start-ing the final two gamesof the 2011 season. Hehas a bevy of talented
skill players returningaround him and is poisedfor a breakout year.
“He had a great off-season,” said Hilvert ofhis young quarterback.“He took big steps to-ward becoming a leaderof this team.”
Former Saints quar-terback Trevor Stellman(Conner) takes over of-fensive coordinator du-ties after Brian Sheehanwas named head coach atDefiance College. Stell-man’s experience in theprogram has made for asmooth transition thusfar. He will keep in placethe Saints’ dangerous op-tion attack, in whichspeedy backs Domo-nique Hayden and Lan-don Savoy will pile upyardage.
The receiving corps isdeep, led by local prod-ucts Austin Studer(Campbell County),Ryan Winkler (SimonKenton), Tony Bell(Northwest), BobbyLeonard (DixieHeights),and Mercier Doucette(Boone County).
The entire offensiveline returns intact, led byfirst teamAll-PAC tackleJeremy Hoop (GlenEste), second team All-PAC center Kevin Naltn-er (Elder), and fellowsenior Kevin Eads (OakHills).
Adam Rauch movedfrom running back tosafety, where he will lineup next to Autenrieb.Skilled cornerbacks Sha-quille Jinks (Moeller),Jake Fishburn (Elder),and Antonio Bookerround out the secondary.Nick Gramke (Elder),Alex Taylor (Elder), BenFlamm (Deer Park),Nate Dorsey, and Eli An-glim (Anderson) give theSaints a deep linebackergroup. Jay Volker (El-der) returns to lead thedefensive line aftermissing the 2011 seasonwith a knee injury. TylerCombs (Highlands),Chris Bouman (BishopBrossart), and Tyler Cal-
houn (Bethel-Tate) joinVolker up front.
The Saints will rely ontheir seniors — Bell,Doucette, Naltner, Hoop,Eads and Studer on of-
fense; Volker, Gramke,Autenrieb, Anglim andBooker on defense — tolead the team beyond thesecond round of the play-offs.

A publication of
Last week’s questionWhatcountyandcityservices
does it make sense to merge tosavemoney?
“I think it would make sensetomerge the police and fire ser-vices. This could easily be donefor Madeira and Indian Hill dueto the adjacency.
“Although Madeira pays ahigher tax rate in terms of per-centage of income, Indian Hilltraditionally has more valuableassets to protect and moreprominent citizens. Therefore,itwouldmakesense to locate themain stations for these servicesinIndianHill,althoughwithfair-ly quick access to Madeira.”
I.P.
“I would probably recom-mend the highwaymaintenancedivisions and the parks divi-sions. Both Hamilton Countyand city of Cincinnati are expe-riencing economic struggling.
“It does not make any senseto me to have an ODOT, Hamil-ton County engineer, or Cincin-nati highwaymaintenanceplow-ing Beechmont Avenue duringsnowstormsandstoppingatcor-poration boundaries leaving therest of the road untouched untilthe other division catches up orcontinues, nor does it make anysense to have two differentparks divisions take care of onepark, ie., Armleder Park offWooster Pike.
“Another merger would letAnderson Township providecoverageforMt.Washingtonforfire and medical, and the sher-iff's office cover for police pro-tection.”
O.H.R.
“None! As far as I can tell,merging would give the city ofCincinnati more money towaste. If everyonewants to savemoney I would suggest coordi-nating the repairs.
For example, in Fairfax andMariemont thestreetsweretornup THREE times, once for sew-ers, once forwater, once for gas,and repaved each time, not tomention the traffic problems,and all this within a period of ayear. There seems to me no re-gard for cost-saving proceduresor time deadlines. It doesn'tshow me any reason to have tocooperate with Cincinnati.
“To have to tap into Cincin-nati water and sewer would beunreasonably expensive forthoseofuswhoenjoyIndianHillwater and a very efficient vil-lage. If this ever comes up for avote, mine will be NO!”
J.K.
“What county and city ser-vices does it make sense tomerge to save money? I'm try-ing hard to think of what ‘ser-vices’ I receive from either thecounty or the city (being a resi-dent of Anderson Twp., outsideof the Cincinnati city limits).
“There is the fire depart-ment, the sheriff, and the city
police (though I believe Cincin-nati police jurisdiction ends atthe city limits). I don't reallythink its feasible to merge thecity police with the Hamiltoncounty sheriff's department.
“However, this made methink about some constructionwork that has been authorizedbythe townshipandhasbeengo-ing on for over a month. It in-volves replacing the curbs onour streets, and in some cases,areas of sidewalk.
“There are positive aspectsof this, including the fact thatthe project provides work forthe construction company, andin some ways, the result hasbeenanimprovement.ButIhon-estly can't say that if it were leftup tome as towhether thisworkwas done or not that I wouldhave done it. And the townshipcould have saved a whole bunchof money.”
Bill B.
“It should save money tomerge county/city garbagepick-up and snow removal.”
E.E.C.
“Sorry, I think the question ispremature. I would be more in-clined to give an opinion if I hadsome idea what is being consid-ered for merger, what the dol-lars are, and what the potentialdownside is for eachmerger be-ing considered.”
F.N.
“The mayor's court abusesrecently brought to light identi-fies one area that could be im-provedbyconsolidation.But thelocally controlled governmentsof small communities are exact-ly what appeals to many of itsresidents. Cincinnati politicsseem like an expensive circusthat puts strangers in charge ofour lives.”
R.V.
“This is a very important andtimely subject. I am sure muchcould be done in consolidatingsome city and county services.As a matter of fact some fewyears ago there was a programcalled Agenda 360 that did a lotof research on this very subjecton consolidating activities ofcity and county. I think a com-mittee should be formed con-sistingof somepeople frombothareas and first seewhat becameof the 360 data and then do addi-tional studies.”

Ohio recently became the39th state to ban texting whiledriving. The new law goes intoeffect Aug. 30.
For the first six months afterAug. 30, police officers willissue written warnings instead
of tickets forviolations ofthe law.
The lawtreats adultsand minorsdifferently.For adults,texting is asecondaryoffense. Adultscould beticketed fortexting only if
they were first pulled over foranother offense, such as speed-ing.
For adults, reading or writ-ing a text while driving is aminor misdemeanor. The maxi-mum penalty is a $150 fine pluscourt costs.
The law is stricter for mi-nors. Minors are banned fromusing cell phones, iPads or otherelectronic devices while driving.The use of any of these devices
while driving is a primary of-fense for minors. This meansthat an officer can pull over aminor if he sees the minor text-ing or talking on a cell phonewhile driving.
For a first offense for mi-
nors, the mandatory penalty is a$150 fine and 60-day licensesuspension. Repeat minor of-fenders face a mandatory $300fine and one-year license sus-pension.
There are exemptions underthe law. All drivers may text anduse cell phones in an emergency.All drivers may use electronicdevices while the car is station-ary and outside a lane of travel.Adult drivers cannot be cited fortyping in a number or name tomake a phone call.
The new statewide ban doesnot supersede local laws. Manycities, such as Cincinnati, al-ready have local laws that pro-hibit texting while driving. Cin-cinnati’s law treats texting whiledriving as a primary offense foradults and minors.
A survey by AT&T of 1,200drivers ages 15-19 showed thatwhile 97 percent think that text-ing while driving is dangerous,43 percent admit to doing it and61 percent say their friends textand drive.

The chairman of the Feder-al Reserve tells Congress thatreducing unemployment in theUnited States is “frustratinglyslow.” We already knew that.The national unemploymentrate has been above 8 percentfor more than three years.
Unfortunately, Fed Chair-man Ben Bernanke also saysthe economic recovery – asweak as it has been – appearsto be losing steam.
Now is not the time to raisetaxes on anybody. That’s ex-actly what President Obama isprescribing for our ailingeconomy.
Tax cuts enacted in 2001 and2003 are set to expire at theend of this year. If Congressfails to act, tax rates wouldrevert to their pre-cut levels.The net effect would be a $4.3trillion tax increase over thenext decade. The nonpartisanCongressional Budget Office(CBO) estimates that such atax increase would shock theeconomy and push the UnitedStates back into a “shallowrecession.”
These looming tax in-creases, along with the pend-ing budget cuts called forunder the Budget Control Act,
constitute the“fiscal cliff”that has econ-omists wring-ing theirhands.
The rightthing to dowould be toextend all thetax cuts andlet the econo-
my stabilize. The presidentwants to pick winners andlosers. He wants some people’staxes to increase and others’to go down.
Recently, the accountingfirm Ernst & Young ran thenumbers on his plan. It foundthat the long-term effect ofincreasing taxes would be tosiphon $200 billion out of theeconomy – and cost 710,000jobs. It also found that, in thelong run, capital stock andinvestment would decline and“real after-tax wages wouldfall by 1.8 percent, reflecting adecline in workers’ livingstandards relative to whatwould have occurred other-wise.”
Far from forcing the rich to“pay their fair share,” thepresident’s plan would actu-
ally increase taxes on job cre-ators and small businesses.Many of them operate as“pass-through entities” whosetaxes are counted as the own-ers’ personal income.
According to the Ernst &Young report, “these busi-nesses employ 54 percent ofthe private sector work forceand pay 44 percent of federalbusiness income taxes.” Addi-tionally, “more than 20 millionworkers are employed by(pass-through) businesseswith more than 100 employ-ees.” The fact is that increas-ing taxes on small businessesisn’t going to increase employ-ment or grow the economy.
The majority in the Househas pledged to provide anopportunity to extend the 2001and 2003 tax cuts before thestart of the August recess. Ihope the president will sup-port that effort. We need topush the economy forward, notshock it back into a shallowrecession.

There’s one kind ofrecipe I can never getenough of: appetizers. I’llbet you’re in that predic-ament sometimes too, sotoday I’m sharing somefavorite appetizer reci-pes.
And remember, we eatwith our eyes as well as
our tum-mies, sogarnishinga dish,even sim-ply, isworth thetrouble.
Tryedibleflowers,herbs orjust a few
parsley sprigs. Your foodwill look as good as ittastes. (Check out mywebsite, abouteating-.com, or my blog, Cook-ing with Rita, for videosand photos of edibleflowers and herbs andhow to use them).
And here’s a tip forthose zucchini that seemto know no bounds. Ev-ery year there’s a couplethat grow to the size ofball bats seemingly over-night. I’ll cut them, scoopout seeds if necessaryand grate them. Nice tohave in winter for soups,breads and muffins.
Rita’s Hall of Famehoney-roastedalmonds
Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount ofcalcium. This is my mostpopular roasted nut reci-pe. Don’t forget to toastthe nuts first; otherwisethe coating won’t adherewell. These make a greatgift from the kitchen anda nice snack to tote ontrips.
2 cups whole almonds withskin, toasted
¼ cup sugar½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons each: honeyand water
2 teaspoons canola oil
Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, wa-ter and oil in pan andbring to a boil. Immedi-
ately stir in nuts andcontinue to cook and stiruntil liquid is absorbed,about 5 minutes. Immedi-ately transfer nuts tobowl with sugar/saltmixture and toss untilevenly coated. Pour outonto sprayed cookiesheet. When cool, breakup and store airtight atroom temperature up to amonth.
To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookiesheet. Roast at 350 de-grees until fragrant,about 10-15 minutes. Stirfrom outside edge intocenter a couple of times.
Healthier goatcheese dip withherbs
6 oz. goat cheese, low fat ifpossible
1 tablespoon plain Greekyogurt
Up to 1 tablespoon olive oil1⁄3 cup parsley2 teaspoons each: choppedmint and thyme
Salt and freshly groundpepper to taste
Celery stalks or other rawveggies for dipping
Put cheese, yogurt andolive oil in food proces-sor until smooth. Stir in
herbs and seasonings.Chill at least 1 hour be-fore serving.
Health tip from Rita:Stalks of health
Celery contains vita-min C, calcium and po-tassium, which means it’sgood for the heart. Cel-ery helps prevent cancerand high blood pressure.The leaves have evenmore nutrients than theribs, so leave them on!
Chile con quesoAwesome with multi-
colored tortilla chips.
1 cup grated extra sharpcheddar
½ cup Velveeta, cut intopieces
½ cup whipping cream2 tablespoons choppedyellow onion
2 tablespoons diced tomato1 jalapeño, stemmed,seeded and diced
Tortilla chips
Put cheddar and Vel-veeta into a non-stick potor double boiler over lowheat and heat untilcheese mixture is nearlymelted. Add cream andwhisk constantly until
hot and smooth. Pour intoserving dish and sprinklewith onions, tomatoesand jalapenos.
Bacon-wrappeddates stuffed withblue cheese
I made these for adiabetic cooking class.The students wanted asophisticated yet easyappetizer and these werea winner. Even if youaren’t watching carbsyou’ll like these. You canuse turkey bacon, aswell.
12 pieces of bacon36 pitted dates1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Cut bacon into thirdsand fry until partiallycooked but not crisp. Youwant to be able to wrapthem around the dates.Drain and keep warm.Cut a slit in center ofdate and fill with cheese.Wrap bacon around andsecure with toothpick.Bake at 375 degrees untilbacon is crisp, about10-12 minutes.
Diabetic exchanges:1/2 starch, 1/2 fat for oneappetizer

Rita shares her favorite appetizer recipes
RitaHeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN
These honey-roasted almonds are Rita's most popularroasted nut recipe. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.
CLARIFYING –PRESERVINGROASTEDTOMATOESI like to freeze mine
and sometimes I’ll chopthem up after removingskins and sometimes I’llleave them in halves. Ifyou want to leave theskins on them, I suggestchopping the tomatoesup before freezing. I justput a batch through myfood processor and theylook good. Remember,though, skins can betough.Also if you like, when
roasting them cut side up,sprinkle on some herbs aswell as olive oil, likeminced thyme, garlic,basil or even dried Italianseasoning for anotherlayer of flavor. You canalso season them withsalt and pepper.

New legislationsigned into law gives thegovernment more au-thority over interstatemoving companies. Thiscomes as the governmentshut down 75 movingcompanies last year. Butproblems with movingcompanies continue, soyou need to beware.
Vicki Quinn needed tomove her mother fromFlorida to Colerain Town-ship and searched theInternet for movingcompanies. She and hersister called severalcompanies. They pickedone that wasn’t exactlythe cheapest, or the mostexpensive. “Theyseemed to be very pro-fessional, and that’s kindof how we decided onthem,” Quinn said.
They picked GreatAmerican Van Lines outof Fort Lauderdale, Fla.“They were very helpful.The mover was incred-ible. He came, wrappedmom’s things. He tapedthem and seemed to takegreat pride in how heloaded the truck,” Quinnsaid.
The cost of the movewas estimated to be$1,615, but after the mov-ing truck arrived at thenew home the billjumped to $2,370. Al-though packing costs hadnow been added, Quinnsays she didn’t fullyunderstand how the bill
got thathigh. Shesays themoversdidn’texplain itandwouldn’tunload thetruck untilthey werepaid in
cash upfront. “Theyabsolutely refused. Theysaid, ‘We’re driving outof here. We’ll go in stor-age and you’ll pay againfor us to re-deliver’,” shesaid.
Quinn ended up pay-ing in full and says shewas shocked at what shefound when they un-loaded the truck. Therewere more than 20 itemsmissing. “Pots and pans,some of her dishes andchairs were missing. Theironic thing is we paidlike $76 a piece to havethe glass wrapped for thetop of her furniture andit didn’t arrive. So, wepaid extra over andabove for that and threeof the five pieces aren’there … it’s lost. Theydon’t know where it is,”Quinn said.
A spokesman forGreat American VanLines says they’re stilllooking for all the items,adding this has neverhappened before. Quinnvalues the lost items atabout $5,000, but Great
American Van Lines saysit’s only prepared to payher 60 cents per pound.
The company spokes-man says Quinn didn’twant full replacementvalue insurance andsigned papers to thateffect. Quinn says shenever was given thatoption and never turneddown full coverage. So Iasked the company forthe paperwork showingshe declined coverage,but have yet to receive it.
As a result, Quinn isfiling a complaint withfederal regulators fromthe United States Depart-ment of Transportation’sFederal Motor CarrierSafety Administration.
Under the law, “Un-less a shipper waives fullvalue insurance in writ-ing, a carrier’s maximumliability for householdgoods that are lost, dam-aged, destroyed or other-wise not delivered to thefinal destination is equalto the replacement valueof such goods.” That’ssubject to the declaredvalue of the goods.

In his first sermon assenior pastor of St. PaulCommunity United Meth-odist Church of Madeira,Jonathan Kollmann toldthe congregation the occa-sion was a lot like his firstdate with future wife Kim-berly Schindler.
Except, of course, thatthe date didn’t go so wellbecause of the squirrels.
Kollmann, then an Indi-ana farm boy from RisingSun, met Kimberly in Au-gust 1989 on his first day atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity, where the twowere paired in a workstudy program.Hewas im-mediately attracted to theCincinnati-area suburban-ite, despite their differentbackgrounds.
“She was gorgeous,” hesaid, “but way out of myleague.” When she sur-prised him with an invita-tion to go on a date, hequickly accepted.
Unhappily,hehadprevi-ously invited his collegeroommate to go squirrelhunting on the same day, amix-up that caused him tobe two hours late for the
date.HecalledKimberly toexplain, but knew it wasn’ta promising start.
“My buddy and I hadbagged two squirrels,” herecounted, “so when Kimcame to pick me up fromthe dorm she had to waitwhile I put the squirrelmeat in the refrigeratorand changed out of myhunting clothes.”
Finally dressed for hisdate, he thengoofedbyfail-ing to buckle his seat belt –and was told she wouldn’tdrive away until he did. Hequickly buckled up, andthey were finally on theirway.
Despite that awkwardprelude to romance, he toldthe Madeira congregation,he and Kim celebratedtheir 20th anniversary July18.
Among other things,Kollmann’ssermondemon-strated to the congregationthat their newminister hasa sense of humor – anddoesn’t mind poking fun athimself.
