COLLECTIONTIME Planning Commission meeting.

The new amendment to theMadeiraCharterwouldcreate anew Madeira zoning districtcalled “The Historic District”and structures within it wouldhave to meet the “Historic Dis-trict Guidelines.” It would alsocreate a Historic District Com-mission to oversee the district.

The first amendment callsfor theHosbrookHouse, Much-more House and Train Depot tobe included in the “historic dis-trict.” The properties are cur-rently part of the Muchmore

Madeira could have a secondproposedamendment toprotectthe city’s two historic housesand train depot.

Resident and Madeira His-torical Society spokesmanDougOppenheimerpresentedadraft of the new amendment tocity council Sept. 8.

Oppenheimer distributedcopies of a draft of the newamendment at the Sept. 8 citycouncil meeting and Sept. 15

HistoricArea, but the area doesnot have any special zoning orbuilding restrictions.

Though the first charteramendmentwill be on the ballotinNovember,CitySolicitorBobMalloy said the city cannot en-force it because the city doesnot have a historic district.

If the first amendment is ap-proved by voters it could bechallenged by legal action ornullified or clarified by anotheramendment,Malloysaidearlierthis year.

“I don’t know if (the new

amendment)wouldclearevery-thingup. Itwill clear up someofthe vagueness,” City ManagerTom Moeller said. He added hehas not yet looked over it withMalloy tounderstand its full im-pact.

Madeira resident PiyushSwami has faced many unfore-seen challenges since he decid-ed five years ago to open a col-lege.

One come when a man whoworkedforhimcameintohisof-fice in rural India with tears inhis eyes. Swami had sent him tolook for aperspective student, ayoung woman with an impres-sive transcriptwhomhehadad-mitted on the spot, but fromwhom he had not heard in awhile.

The man told him that wasbecauseherfamilywas living insuch poverty the family didn’thaveaplaceforhimtositandheended up on the floor beside thefamily’s goat, which was cheap-er than a cow. She wouldn’t beable to attend.

Swami wrote her to tell herhe would fund her completely.She could go to his college.

“I was not prepared for thefull scholarships that we are of-feringmanyof the students, butwithout that we would havefailed in ourmission,” said Swa-mi, a retired University of Cin-cinnati professor in the Schoolof Education, who has lived inthe United States for 45 years.

Swami and his wife, Cathy, aretired Madeira ElementarySchool principal and currentschool board member, startedworking on opening a college inIndia about five years ago.

The East West EducationalInstitute in Badnoli, about 35miles from New Delhi, openedin August with about 30 stu-dents and six faculty members.Piyush Swami just spent sixmonths in India preparing forthe college’s opening. He plansto return three to four timeseach school year.

Piyush Swami said one thingthat sets the college apart fromothers in area is its equality pol-icy. He said while discrimina-

tion based on class or religion iscommon in India, the collegedoes not tolerate it. The collegeserves students fromall classesand religions, from the Hindumajority to the Muslim minor-

ity.“We have many of these stu-

dents, both girls and boys, whoare coming from the Dalit, oruntouchable, class, these kidsare coming from extremely

poorhomes,very lowself-confi-dence because people havebeen mistreating them for alltheir years. But, they are veryalert, very hungry for educa-tion.

“Thishasbecomeinmymindsort of amission forme to teachthese people and help them liftout of poverty and certainly usetheir talents as many ways aspossible,” Piyush Swami said.

The college offers two three-year degrees; a bachelor ofbusiness administration and abachelor of computer applica-tions. Piyush Swami said mostof the instruction isdone inEng-lish, but Hindi is sometimesused because many of the stu-dents are still learning English,which is one of the college’smost popular subjects. Yearlytuition is $650, which includesbooks and uniforms.

Piyush Swami said becausemany of the students have

heimer said the groupcould get them by mid-October.

“The original amend-ment was intentionallysimple andeasy tounder-

stand. There are no stan-dards in what is called(the Muchmore HistoricArea).No restrictions, norequirements. We didn’taddress that but it wasimplied,” Oppenheimersaid.

Oppenheimer said heis unsure when he willfile the second amend-ment with the board ofelections. If he files it be-tween 60 and120 days af-ter thegeneral election, aspecial election would beheld, according to theMadeira Charter.

“WhenIfile itdependson what the PlanningCommission and CityCouncil does in the nextsix weeks. There hasbeen some flicker in fa-

vor of the houses,” hesaid.

The filing deadline toget an amendment on theballot for the Novemberelection has alreadypassed. The 229 signa-ture requirement comesfrom the voting numbersfrom the 2013 generalelection. The numberswill most likely changeafter the 2014 generalelection.

Part three of the draftamendment calls for thecreation of a five-personhistoric district commis-sion. The commission isto be made up of twomembers provided fromthe Madeira HistoricalSociety, one from theMa-deira Woman’s Club, one

from the Chamber ofCommerce and one fromthe city.

“I thought about whowould have the most sin-cere interest in makingsure the structures areproperly maintained andhelp businesses thrivethere,” Oppenheimersaid.

The woman’s club op-erates the Clothes Clos-est out of the HosbrookHouse.

City council voted toallow the first amend-ment onto the ballot as a“matter of procedure” atits meeting July 28.Moeller said having theamendment on the ballotwill cost the city between$5,000 and $10,000.

“We are doing a lot oftraining about self-es-teem and self-confidenceand self-acceptance andacceptance of ideas. Wehave special seminarswhere we talk about is-sues like self-esteem andhow to present before agroup and conflict resolu-tions.Theyarecalled ‘softskills’ in India,” he said.

Cathy Swami said oneof her long term goals isfor the college to help ev-eryone in the surrounding

20 villages.“What I would like to

see is for the building tobecomeacommunitycen-ter as well. On the eve-ningsorweekendswhenitis not being used by thestudents, bring in wom-en’s groups or teach Eng-lish lessons,” she said.

The Swamis are look-ing to expand what thecollege offers and eventu-ally the building. PiyushSwami said he is workingwith Great Oaks to makesome of their program-ming a pilot program atthe college. He is also try-ing to create connectionsor exchange programswith UC and Purdue Uni-versity to help his stu-dents learn more aboutAmerican culture.

with the college, by donating funds for scholarships, booksfor the college’s library or time by visiting.“Some of my friends and people I work with are excited

about going. I tell anyone you can come lecture for a day,two days, a week, whatever you can. We will provide youwith all the facilities you need,” Piyush said. He said thecollege is a short trip from New Delhi.The Swamis are asking anyone who can help out to

producing a project, book re-port, or giving a presentationin their classes that was of out-standing quality, on behalf oftheParanManagementCo., themanagement company for theDillonvale Shopping Center.

These students did not findout they hadwon until the finaldays of school, so the reward

was quite a surprise.Jennifer Childs, director of

marketing at Paran Manage-ment Co., contacted the DeerPark branch of the Public Li-brary with her idea of recog-nizing outstanding readers.

Natalie Fields, branch man-ager at the Deer Park BranchLibrary, suggested contacting

The Deer Park Jr. /Sr. HighSchool staff was pleased andexcited for their students tohave this fun, end-of-year op-portunity and, needless to say,the students were happily sur-prised.

MADEIRA — A pair ofstate championshipcoaches recently retiredwere among those induct-ed into the Madeira HighSchool Hall of Fame Sept.19 prior to the Madeira/Wyoming football game.

Jack Kuzniczci, whowon 399 games in 21 sea-sons for theMustangsanda state title in 1999, stilllives in Madeira andteaches at Madeira Mid-dle School. He also tookthe Mustangs to the Divi-sion III title game in 2011when the team featuredAndrew Benintendi (Ar-kansas) and his son, CodyKuzniczci (NorthernKen-tucky University).

“Coach K” won eightdistrict titles and eightleague championships be-tween 1992 and 2013. Hestepped down after the2013 season to watch hissonplay forNKU, but stillcoaches for Midland andis active in the baseballcommunity. Kuzniczci’sMustang highlights wereeasy to recall.

“No boys team had

ever won a state champi-onship before ’99,” Kuz-niczci said. “That waskindof aneat thing tohap-pen. It was also fun tohave my son on my teamin the state title game(2011). We went to the ‘fi-nal four’ four times.”

Kuzniczci was also apretty good player in hisday for Anderson HighSchool and later the Uni-versity of Cincinnati. Healso played in theMontre-al Expos organization.

Madeira teacher JonUnger won 236 games be-tween 1995 and 2012, in-cluding back-to-back per-fect seasons and DivisionIII titles in 2002-2003. Un-ger won eight district ti-tles and10 league crowns.

“There was a changingathletic culture here fromthe ’90s with Coach (Jim)Reynolds in basketballand Coach K in baseball,”Unger said. “Wehadgreatathletes and some fantas-tic soccer players.”

Something has drasticallychanged in our economy.

In1880 a private companybuilt the Cincinnati street carcompanywith inclines, paid forit andmade a profit with thefares collected. It continued tobe a private company until1973. Nowwe need $147millionof taxpayer dollars to build andoperate a four-mile street carroute.What has changed?

In1875 the zoowas built as aprivate for profit company andthe tickets at the gate paid for itandmade a profit. This lasteduntil 1932when the city took itover. Now the zoo requirestaxpayers to pay $6.8millionper year and they needmore.The zoo also receives about

$10.6million ayear indona-tions andbrings in asincome about$12.9millionfor gatetickets, park-ing and conces-sions.

What haschanged?

In1878MusicHall was built by severalmusic groups and businessmenas a profitmaking enterprise. Itran as a profitmaking businessuntil the1950s. Now the cityneeds $100million plus tomod-ernize it.What has changed?

In1912 Powel Crosley owner

of the Reds built Crosley Fieldwith no publicmoney, it made aprofit and it lasted until 1970whenRiver front stadiumwasbuilt and taxpayers had to paythe cost.

Cincinnati Union Terminalwas built by the B&ORailroadas a private company in1933including a roundhouse and 94miles of track for $ 41millionandwas paid forwith rail pas-senger tickets. NowUnionTerminal needs100millionfrom taxpayers tomaintain thestructure.What has changed?

In1937 I was born at GoodSamaritanHospital.Mymotherwas there for 6 days and thetotal bill, including the doctorwas $118.00

What has changed?In1955 I enrolled at theUni-

versity of Dayton and the tu-itionwas $240 a semester. Nowthe tuition at highly taxpayersubsidized public colleges is$12,600.

What has changed?What has changed is the size

of government. In1900 govern-ment was 5 percent of grossdomestic product and today thecost of Federal, State, and localgovernment is 53 percent ofGDP. \

All of this extra governmentmoney is built into our tele-phone bills, our electric bills,our grocery bills, ourmainte-nance bills, fuel bills, hotelbills, taxi bills, hospital bills

and every other thing that webuy.

Thismeans that we paydouble for everythingwe pur-chase and that we receive onlyhalf of our pay checks to paythe visible and hidden taxes topay for government.

History shows that whengovernments grow, debt goesup, people become poor anddependent and unemploymentincreases. Just look at coun-tries likeGreece, Italy, Spain,Venezuela, Brazil, and hun-dredsmore.

Wemust cut the size of gov-ernment and our deficit.

Youmay not realize this, butfalling is a serious health riskamong older adults.

Each year, roughly one outof three Americans over theage of 65 experiences a fall. Foradults over the age of 65, fallsare the leading cause of emer-gency department visits andhospitalizations. These emer-gency roomvisits and hospital-izations result in $30 billion ayear being spent in theU.S.treating older adults for theeffects of falls. Not only arefalls expensive to treat, but thepain and injury they cause canhave negative effects on a per-son's quality of life and drasti-cally reduce an older adult'sindependence. Once a first fallhas occurred the apprehensionlevel rises becausewe areafraid it will happen again.Wealso become concernedwiththe actions othersmight take tohelp us. All of this can lead tofurther physical decline, de-pression, isolation and feelingsof helplessness. Fall PreventionAwarenessMonth is importantbecausewewant to send themessage to families that fallingis not a natural part of aging,and inmany instances, falls canbe prevented.

Sowhat can be done to pre-vent falls? Plan Ahead. Beginwith a conversation between

the senior andcaregivers.Listen to oneanother. Do notassume youknow the an-swers. Be openwith one anoth-er. Askwhatchallenges theperson is fac-ing each day

with the daily activities. Askthem to show you how they docertain routine activities. In-clude any nurse or therapistsinvolved in the daily healthcare plan. Thismay take a fewconversations to build or re-build trust. It is important to beopen-minded to options andpossibilities.

Families can also take stepstomake their home safer. Someof themost common locationsfor falls are doorways, clut-tered hallways, areaswithheavy traffic, bathrooms andstairs. Simple steps to preventin-home falls include removingthrow rugs or ensuring floorcoverings are securedwith anon-skid backing and installinglighting at the top and bottomof staircases. It’s also importantto secure electrical and phonecords out of walkways, and toremove tripping hazards likepaper, boxes, toys and clothes

from stairs andwalkways.For additional support and to

increase safety for seniors whomay have already experienceda fall or have been injured,homemodificationsmay be-come beneficial. For example,grab bars can be installed inkitchens and bathrooms, door-ways can bewidened, and step-free entrances can be con-structed. The important thingto remember is that fallingdoes not have to be a part ofgetting older. There are easysteps that can be taken to pre-vent falls, and tomake yourhome a safe place. If you’re notsurewhere to start, considercalling a Certified Aging inPlace Specialist (CAPS).WholeHomeModifications’ CAPSoffer free in-home consulta-tions.We come preparedwith aFall Prevention Checklist, andcan guide you in the best direc-tion to ensure safety and pre-vent falls.

League fairly and properlyhandled the Ray Rice domesticabuse/violence case? Whatcould or should the league dodifferently?

“Fairly, yes. Properly, no. Iam sick and tired of readingabout these prima donnaathletes acting like the thugsand criminals a lot of themare...and getting away with itmost of the time. All of thesebig-time sports athletes (ev-ery sport), whether they wantto be or not, are role modelsfor millions of youth. On that

fact alone, they need to beheld to a higher standard ofmorality than the rest of us.It is a rare privilege to be

good enough to play in thebig leagues and if you happento be that talented or lucky,you need to be held to a one-and-done morality clause.Muck up once and your areout for life. Seems harsh, buthow many youth see theseguys do these kinds of stupidand wrong beatings/murders/rapes/gun violations/drugviolations etc. and then theguy is back playing later thisyear or next, so it must beOK for our youth to do thattoo?”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWill the U.S. eventually have tosend combat troops (“boots onthe ground”) to fight ISIS in Iraqand Syria?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

This essay might make alot of people mad. I sincerelyhope so! I am writing as avery concerned citizen.

No matter which politicalparty you prefer, a prudentcitizen has to consider it as“The Least Worst Party.”

The list of governmentscandals grows as each newone is used to keep the mediafrom finalizing the blame forthe last one. At some point allof us should be alarmed.Party politics should take adistant second to our pro-fessed loyalty to the guidingprinciples of our thoughtfulfounding fathers.

The mistreatment anddeaths of veterans at some ofthe Veterans Administrationhospitals was not only inex-cusable, it was criminal. Itdemands drastic action im-mediately. The simple an-swer of giving veterans theright to treatment at localhospitals is helpful, too lateand avoids fixing the prob-lem.

Mismanagement and polit-ical favoritism is the prob-lem. Lives that were lost dueto lack of treatment and in-sufferable delays would nothappen in any other hospitalsystem. There would havebeen public response andcorrections would have beenmade immediately along withappropriate recompense andfirings.

The simple answer is totransfer the entire operationand control to local healthorganizations with responsi-bilities similar to their stan-

dards. Bid-ding wouldbe appropri-ate. Salariesand duties ofthe trans-ferred staffshould be inline with theacquiringfacilities.

With theappointment

of Robert McDonald there issome hope for an efficientrevision of the VA. A lot de-pends on his ability to over-come the entrenched bu-reaucracy that is endemic inall government agencies. Weshould hope that he changesthe VA into an efficient andwell run system.

Now, dare I add the IRS tothe list? Can you possiblyimagine a large corporationlosing all of its information intheir computers? Do youthink they could get awaywith lying under oath? Canyou imagine that almost anywell run corporation wouldnot find a way to assess andcollect taxes more efficient-ly?

Total privatization withappropriate oversight is ananswer. This will lead to low-ering costs and ultimatelyreduced taxes. Growth willstart again favoring thosewho have been hurt by thecontinuing recession.

He hasn’t been seen forweeks, but the blackbear roaming Cler-mont County and

Eastern Hamilton County ear-lier this summercausedquite astir.

Spotted at the end of Juneswimming across theOhioRiv-er from Kentucky, the bearfirst showed up in ClermontCounty’s Miami Township. Helater made his way into Mont-gomery and Madeira, down toOakley and was last sightednear Eastgate in Union Town-ship.

The bear’s presenceprompted a flurry of calls to lo-cal police and captured thepublic’s imagination. UnionTownship even had to close alocal park because manyflocked to the area to try andcatch a glimpse.

All the excitement sur-rounding the bear got us at TheCommunity Presswondering —what other crazy wildlife callshave our local police, fire/EMSor maintenance departmentsreceived?

The storiesweheard run thegamut from amusing, like thepig that trapped medics insidea house, to potentially danger-ous, like the hit-and-run acci-dent involving a kidnappeddeer.Somewere tragic, like theman who was killed by his petsnake, and others, like the footleft next to a gas station pump,remain a bit of a mystery.

Colerain TownshipOne of the strangest inci-

dents Hamilton County Sher-iff’s Office Lt. Chris Ketteman

remembers was in 2006. Hewas called to the Speedway gasstation on Colerain Avenue be-cause there was a severed footnext to one pump.

Ketteman, now the District3 commander, said at first hethought deputies were joking,but after arriving on scene,there it was. It looked like a hu-man foot and was sent to thecoroner’s office for examina-tion. It was later determined tobe the skinned foot of a bear.

If you looked close, Kette-man said the foot only had fourtoes, but none of the officerswanted to get that close at thescene.

“Our best theory was some-one went hunting and it fell offa vehicle,” he said. “We neverdetermined where it camefrom.”

Lt. Brian Stapleton, whoheads the Sheriff’s OfficeCriminal Investigations Sec-tion, said while that case wasunusual, similar calls are notuncommon.

“Several times a year, weget calls about various bonesfound and brought home byfamily pets,” he said. “A lot oftimes it takes the expertise ofthe coroner’s office to deter-mine if it’s human or animal.”

Columbia TownshipIt seemed like a routine re-

sponse — a report of a truckhitting a deer near the inter-section of Wooster Pike andNewtown Road. But whenSheriff’s deputy Nick Hoevelarrived at the scene, there wasno truck and no deer. A shorttime later, Hoevel got a callfrom Mariemont police askingfor his help.

When he arrived on scene, a

truckmatching thedescriptionfrom the accident was in thedriveway, and a young buckwas in the passenger seat.Hoe-vel assumed theman justwant-ed tags for the meat, but that’swhen the incident took astrange turn. As he walked bythe truck, “it lifts its head up –the deer was still alive,” Hoe-vel said.

“The guy toldme how its legwas broken and he sat therewith it petting its head becausehe didn’t want it to die aloneand scared,” Hoevel said. “Heput it in the truck tobringhomeafter it didn’t die because hewanted to keep it in his back-yard and nurse it back tohealth.”

Hoevel tried to explain thetwo options — letting it go andnature taking its course, oreuthanizing the deer — but themanwas hard to convince. “Hewas adamant that he wanted tokeep the deer,” Hoevel said.

The man finally agreed tobring the deer to a secludedarea near Bass Island so itcould be put down, and Hoevelsaid he thought it would be theend of the odd situation. Hewas wrong.

“As we were headed downWooster Pike fromMariemont,he passes Newtown Road andstarted going faster, about 65mph,” Hoevel said. “I wasthinking, ‘I can’t get into a pur-suitwith this guywhohas a livedeer in his car,’ and then hepulls over in front of AvocaPark.”

Hoevel ended up shootingthe deer, which he said thenjumped up and started runningaround before finally dying.The man was screaming, cry-ing and calling the deputynames, but even after all that,

Hoevel said he still asked forhis tags.

Mariemont Police ChiefRick Hines also remembersthat incident, which happeneda couple years ago, and laughsabout how strange it was. “Iguess he thought he was goingto take it to the veterinarian,”he said. “It’s just amazing thatthe deer didn’t hurt or kill himinside the car. If he would havekept it in the car long enough, itwould have turned into a reallybad situation.”

MariemontMaintenance Superinten-

dent John Scherpenberg hadtwo encounters one day thisApril. First, he received an un-usual call from Bob Flanigan,who works for the MariemontCity Schools, about a turkeythat ran in front of his car onWooster Pike.

Scherpenberg helped corralthe turkey, first spotted in theparking lot near the Marie-mont Executive Building, andreleased it into the South 80acres park, a wooded area nearthe Little Miami River.

“We believe it might havebeen raised by someone and letgo because itwas very friendlyand not afraid of people,” hesaid.

Later that day, maintenanceemployees found a snappingturtle by one of the sheds andwere able to scoop it into alarge garbage can.

“We let it go downby the riv-er once we got it to settledown,” Scherpenberg said.

Symmes TownshipOne incident here took a

tragic turn when a SymmesTownshipmanwaskilledbyhis

pet snake.In 2006, a woman called 911

to report a 13-foot-long pythonhad wrapped itself aroundowner’s neck.

When Sheriff’s deputies ar-rived, they found a man face-down in thecagewith the snakearound his neck. He had appar-ently slipped and hit his headbefore the snake moved in.Deputies removed the pythonand Loveland-Symmes medicsunsuccessfully performedCPR.

The story even attractedAnimal Planet, which filmed asegment about the incident forits show “Fatal Attractions.”

MontgomeryMontgomery Communica-

tions and Engagement Coordi-nator Faith Lynch said the cityhad a hawk living in a tree in aresident’s yard in 2013.

Officials looked into the sit-uation but because the hawkwas a protected species, noth-ing could be done, Lynch said.It lived there until it moved on.

Lynch said the hawk, like allother animal calls, gave offi-cers the opportunity to educateresidents on how to safelyavoid them.Hawks are attract-ed to dying or dead trees.

LovelandLoveland Police Chief Tim

Sabransky said a black bearwas spotted in the Lovelandand Symmes Township area inSeptember 2010.

“It stayed in the area for afew days and then left. We didnot respond to sightings ortrack the bear,” Sabranskysaid, adding the calls wouldhavebeenforwarded toODNR.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 • SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

This has been a busyweek. I was a featuredpresenter at MotherEarth News Fair in Penn-sylvania and my talk wason Bible herbs and foodswith anti-aging qualities.

One of my topics wasbread since wheat was

one of thefirst, if notthe first,crop plant-ed backthen. Ayoungwomancame up tome after-ward andasked if Iever madechallah,

the honey egg bread. Yes,I told her, I have. “Wouldyou send me your reci-pe?” she asked. Yes, Itold her, I would.

As I write this, we’re aweek away from RoshHashanah, the JewishNew Year, of which chal-lah is an important food.We just got a quart ofhoney from our beekeep-er, so today I’m sharing areally good recipe forchallah.

It’s adapted from JoanNathan’s, an expert onJewish cuisine.

ChallahGrandson Jack loves

this sweeter type eggbread. A wonderful giftfrom the kitchen, as well.

This makes 2 loaves.Some people like tosprinkle it with poppy orsesame seeds beforebaking.

2-1/2 cups warmwa-ter, 110-115 degrees

1 tablespoon activedry yeast (not rapidrise)

1/2 cup honey1/4 cup Canola oil3 large eggs, room

temperature1 tablespoon salt

8 cups unbleached allpurpose flour - I usedKing Arthur brand

Eggwash - 1 or 2whole eggs, beatenuntil blended

Sprinkle yeast overwarmwater. On lowspeed, stir in honey, oil,eggs and salt until verywell blended.

Add flour, one cup at atime, beating after eachaddition. You may windup having to beat byhand, depending upon thesize of the bowl, if you’reusing a hand or standmixer, etc.

Remove dough tolightly floured surface.Dough will be sticky.Knead until smooth andelastic (like a baby’sbottom, my friend Carolsays) and no longersticky, adding flour a bitat a time as needed. Becareful here - don’t addtoo much or bread will be

dry. Cover with dampclean cloth and let riseuntil doubled in bulk - upto 1-1/2 hours or so.

Punch dough downand again place on lightlyfloured surface. Dividein half and knead eachhalf for a fewmore min-utes, adding more flour ifneeded.

Again, be careful here- add just enough flour tokeep it from being sticky.

Divide each half intothirds and roll into ropesabout 1-1/2” wide. Pinchtop ends of each 3 ropestogether.

Then, starting fromthe middle, start braid-ing, again pinching endsafter braiding. Leave asis or curve braid into acircle and pinch endstogether very well. Ipinch and tuck ends un-der.

Spray 2 baking sheetsor use parchment paper.

Put braids on. Brush withegg wash. Cover withtowel and let rise untildoubled, about an hour.Preheat oven to 375.

If you want a lac-quered finish, brushgently again with eggwash. Bake for 30-40minutes. If you insertthermometer into centeron bottom, bread willregister 190 degreeswhen done. Or tap it onbottom - it should soundhollow.

Even easier: Thawfrozen bread dough, thendivide in thirds, make 3ropes and follow instruc-tions on label for rising,etc.

This bread won’t be as

sweet as homemade chal-lah, but it’s still good.

Hot mulled ciderI can’t believe the

weather has turned coolenough to enjoy a mug ofhot mulled cider. Whenthe kids were little, wemade cider from ourorchard apples. Wonder-ful memories of chillyautumn evenings, sittingby the woodstove, sip-ping mulled cider. Ahealthy splash of applebrandy or spiced rumadded brings back prettygood memories, too!

Bring ingredients to agentle boil, then lower toa simmer and cook, cov-

ered, about 10 minutes orso. Strain, add brandy,and enjoy.

This is the time ofyear when many consum-ers hire home improve-ment contractors to fixup items around theirhouse. Before you hire acontractor, you shouldknow there are some whojust take your money andrun.

I received a letterfrom a woman who hireda company to clean herroof and install new win-dows. She paid a $2,000deposit before any workwas done and, unfortu-nately, no work was everdone. Now the firm,which she says, never

orderedthe win-dows,wants tocharge hera restock-ing feeafter shecom-plainedand saidshe wants

her money back.Ohio Attorney General

Mike DeWine says hisoffice has received morethan 60 complaints abouthome improvement con-tractors since June. Mostof his complaints involve

asphalt, concrete or pav-ing work. The averageamount of money dis-puted is more than$3,000.

Most of those com-plaints involved shoddyresurfacing of the drive-way, rough spots orcracks in the concrete,improper drainage,driveways not level, andineffective and incom-plete sealing.

To protect yourselfalways check out a con-tractor with the BetterBusiness Bureau to makesure they have a goodrecord and have been in

business for a while. Ifthey’re a member of theBBB so much the betterbecause then the bureaucan mediate any prob-lems you may encounterwith the company.

Make sure you get acopy of the company’sworkers compensationand liability insurancepolicies. If the firmdoesn’t have both policiesto give you, go to anotherfirm.

Avoid paying a lot ofmoney upfront so thecontractor has an in-centive to return and dothe work. I suggest fol-

lowing the CincinnatiHome Remodeling Ordi-nance and limiting yourdown payment to nomore than 10 percent ofthe cost of the job, exceptfor special order items.Never pay more than theamount of work that’sbeen satisfactorily com-pleted.

Make sure the con-tract you receive con-tains the company’sname, address and phonenumber. It should alsostate the start and com-pletion dates of the job.

Under the law youhave three days to cancel

a door-to-door sale. InOhio, the company mustalso give you a writtenright-to-cancel form tomail back. If you don’treceive such a cancella-tion form don’t do busi-ness with the company.Finally, don’t let the com-pany begin any workuntil three days havepassed.
