Indian Hill residents whoparticipate in a cost-saving ag-gregate electric program willsee their rates drop inOctober –and stay that way for threeyears.

The village has contractedwith an electrical suppliercalled Interstate Gas Supply(IGS) in which members of theaggregatewillpaynearly$0.058per kilowatt hour for threeyears.

These residents have beenpaying Duke Energy $0.064 perkilowatt hour for electricitysince June, after Indian Hill’s

contract with DP&L (DaytonPower & Light) ended.

Village representativeswerenegotiating with Perigee Ener-gy to succeed DP&L, which hadbeen charging nearly $0.046 perkilowatt hour.

But a volatile market causedPerigee Energy to back off pro-posed electric aggregate ratesof nearly $0.060 per kilowatthour in the summer and nearly$0.055 per kilowatt hour in thewinter.

“Upon the (expiration of thecontract with DP&L inMay), anunprecedented increase in theelectrical market provided anon-competitive environmentfor residential aggregation,”

said Indian HillCityManagerDi-naMinneci.

“Over thesummer, the vil-lage has moni-tored the marketto capitalize onthe best opportu-

nity to lock into an advanta-geous fixed rate.

“The village has completedits evaluation and has enteredinto an agreement with a newelectrical supplier – InterstateGas Supply,” Minneci said.

Thenewrates for theelectricaggregate program will be ef-fectivewithmeterreadingsOct.14.

Some 1,550 residences,churches,schoolsandvillagefa-cilities in IndianHill voluntarilyparticipate intheaggregatepro-gram, saving money by buyingelectric as a group.

The first week of September,any resident who is not alreadyusing an alternative electricsupplier will receive an opt-outletter from Interstate Gas Sup-ply.

“In addition to the opt-out let-ter, residentswill receive noticefromDukeEnergyadvisingthattheir electrical supplier will beswitched to IGS,” Minneci said.

“To take advantage of the(nearly $0.058) per kilowatthourrate securedby thevillage,

no action is needed.“Residents may simply ig-

nore these two letters,”Minnecisaid.

“However, if residents pre-fer to be with Duke Energy orselect another alternative sup-plier, they will need to contactIGS at 1-800-280-4474 to opt-out.”

Indian Hill residents whowant to participate in the moreexpensive “green” electric gen-eration program also shouldcontact Interstate Gas Supply.

Enrollment in the IndianHillExempted Village School Dis-trict saw a very slight declinethis school year.

Enrollment for the 2014-2015school year is 1,884, a drop offivestudentsfromthe2013-2014school year, which was 1,889students.

This figure is actually lessthan the enrollment projectedby Information ManagementSystems, an enrollment projec-tions firm provided by the stateof Ohio.

Information ManagementSystems projected an enroll-ment of 1,823 to 1,830 for the2014-2015 school year.

Based on models projectedby Information ManagementSystems, enrollment shouldhave dropped even further;however, the enrollment de-cline is nearly flat, school boardmember Eddie Hooker said.

Hooker attributes the dis-trict investing in capital im-provements such as the fieldsand high school auditorium ashelping tocurtail amoresignifi-cant decline in enrollment.

Superinten-dentMarkMiles,who presentedthe informationto the schoolboard during itsSeptembermeeting, said anumber of fac-

tors are in play when consider-ing enrollment figures rangingfrom the economy to housingavailability and the quality ofeducational services.

According to Miles, enroll-ment projections by Informa-tion Management Systems forthe 2018-2019 school year indi-cate a bigger decline. An enroll-ment from 1,664 to 1,689 is pro-jected.

Miles said typically the dis-trict has larger graduatingclasses and smaller numbers ofstudents entering kindergar-ten, hence the enrollment de-cline projected by InformationManagement Systems.

However, he said this esti-matewill likely changewith thedistrict anticipating enrollmentgrowth among the variousclasses in the coming years.

Although state funding typi-cally decreases with lower en-

rollment, Miles said since en-rollment in Indian Hill has re-mained steady, he does not ex-pect a change in state funding.

“Overall,weexpect thefund-ing from the state to be stable,”he said.

According to Miles,last year IndianHill expe-rienced a net loss of fourstudents to a private com-petitor, while two yearsago the district experi-

enced a net gain of threestudents.

Miles said faith-baseddecisions are often a rea-son for students leavingthe district for a privateschool.

“This has been the bestyear yet in retainingeighth-graders,” he said.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • A3NEWS

U.S. Sen. Rob Portmanis co-sponsoring biparti-san legislation to make iteasiertorequestaDepart-ment of Veterans Affairsmarker or headstone forthe unmarked grave of amilitary veteran of a longago conflict.

The Honor Those WhoServed Act of 2014 wasprompted after veteransorganizations and historygroups throughout theU.S. complained last yearthat they couldn’t obtaingovernment-issued mark-ersortombstonesforCivilWar veterans’ unmarkedgraves because theyweren’t direct descend-ants. Among those pro-testingweresupportersofseveral Northern Ken-tuckycemeteries foundedbefore the Civil War andWesleyan Cemetery inNorthside, Cincinnati’sfirst integrated cemetery.In the latter cemetery, sixAfrican-American CivilWar veterans had laid inunmarked graves formore than a century.

The Department ofVeterans Affairs changedits policy onwho could ap-ply for government-is-sued markers or head-stones in 2009, but it didn’tconsistently enforce its“next-of-kin” regulationuntil 2012, as groupsthroughout theU.S. begancommemorating the150thanniversary of the CivilWar. In April 2013, the VAannounced it would modi-fy its policy, but it has yetto do so.

“America’s veteranshave made uncountablesacrifices on behalf of allof us,” Portman said in arecent statement released

by the Terrace Park Re-publican’s Washington of-fice. “This bipartisan leg-islation is acommonsense

way to honor the men andwomenwhohaveworntheuniform throughout ournation’s history with theofficial recognition theyhaveearnedanddeserve.”

Sen. Jon Tester, a Mon-tana Democrat and amemberof theSenateVet-erans’AffairsCommittee,joined Portman in intro-ducing the headstone bill.

“Fixingthisheadstonespolicy isvery important toveterans’ groups, history

organizations, county vet-eransorganizations, gene-alogists, funeral profes-sionals, high school teach-ers and others in Ohio andelsewhere,” said ToddKleismit, director of com-munity and governmentrelations at the Ohio His-tory Connection. “Prior totheVA’spolicychange, or-ganizations like ours hadbeenworkingdiligently toresearch and recognizemilitary veterans buried

in unmarked graves. Wehope that this legislationcanhelpusgetbacktothatimportant work ...”

Through Portman’sbill, the definition of whocan request government-issued markers or tomb-stones for veterans wouldbe expanded to includestate veterans serviceagencies, military re-searchers, historians, ge-nealogists or others famil-iar with the research

sources and methods toprove the identity of theveteran if no next-of-kinor designated representa-tiveof thedecedentcanbefound.Theproposedlegis-lation also would allowanyone to request a head-stone or marker for a vet-eranwho served on activeduty in the Armed Forcesat least 75 years earlier.Similar legislation hasbeen proposed in the U.S.House.

One of theMadeira his-toric house’s tenants isstill collecting residentfeedback about the city’stwo houses.

Creativities ownerChristine Parker createdherownsurveyAug.21forresidents after the city’sMuchmore Historic AreaPublic Perception SurveyclosedAug.18.

ThecityofMadeirahas

beendiscussingthefutureof the Hosbrook House,7014 Miami Ave., andMuchmore House, 7010Miami Ave., since Marchwhena report foundabout$157,000 worth of repairsare needed for the houses.

Parker rents theMuch-more House from the cityfor $1,250 amonth and theMadeira Woman’s Clubrents theHosbrookHousefor $300 a month, accord-ing to the survey’s intro-duction. The houses weredeeded to the city by CleoHosbrook. The city sentout the online surveyAug.4. The survey was intend-ed to gather feedbackfromresidents, inadditionto what was collected atthe community meetingabout the houses Aug. 6. Alink to the surveywas sentout through the city’s listserve.Theclosingdateforthe survey was listed asAug. 18. City Manager

TomMoeller saidafter theAug. 6 meeting that thesurvey’s closing date wasAug. 23.

Parker said in emailsent out to Creativities’email list she was told thesame.“Itwasclosedonthe18th and the assistant CityManager (Amanda Zim-merlin) is refusing to re-open it,” the email read.

Zimmerlin said the citystaff and the Economic

Development Committeedecided two weeks wouldbe the proper amount oftime to make the surveyavailable. In all the city’sadvertisements about thesurvey, the closing datewas listed as Aug. 18.

Parker built an identi-cal version of the surveyand sent out the link to theemail list on Aug. 21. Hersurvey will be open untilAug. 23.

“Where there’s a will,there’s a way. I’ll hand de-liver it to the mayor andcity council,” Parkerwrote in the email. Madei-ra city council meets onAug.25.Bothsurveysasksfor residents’ thoughts onthe importance of the twohouses and if they wouldlike the land to be pre-served or developed.

Moellersaid thesurveyreceived about 75 repliesin the first few hours andabout 500 in the first fewdays. “The matter of pre-serving our past while si-multaneously embracingthe future is not easy. It isthe reason the city urgedresidents and interestedparties to participate inthe process. Should Ms.Parker submit her surveyresults to the city, it willcertainly be passed alongto council,” Zimmerlinsaid, in an email.

During the communitymeeting Aug. 6, residentsvoted they wanted Cre-ativities and the ClothesClosest, operated by thewoman’s club, to stay inthe houses.

INDIANHILL—Theyhave alittle swagger, but it certainlyhas been earned.

Indian Hill High School’sgirls tennis team is the top-rankedDivision II team in thecity and the defending stateteam tournament champions.To kick-start their efforts inand around the state capitalthis year, the Lady Braves re-cently won Flight A of theCoaches Classic tournamentinMason.

In doing so, coach GarySamuels’ girls defeated someDivision I programs, includ-ing Sycamore.

“This is a special achieve-ment for a Division II schoolto emerge as Cincinnati’s fin-est team,” Samuels said. “Weaccomplishedthiswithoutourregular line-up as our firstdoubles player became ill thedaybeforethetournamentbe-gan. It was a total team effortas all seven of our playersreached at least the semifi-nals at their position”

Junior Caroline Andersenwas third singles champion;freshmanGraceyHirsch wasrunner-up at second singles;senior Morgan Koerting andsophomore Sarah Price wererunner-up at second doubles;junior Meredith Breda de-feated Lilly O’Toole ofWalnutHills for third in first singles;and seniors Abby Singer andJessieOshermade the semifi-nals in first doubles.

The Koerting/Price upsetof Sycamore’s seconddoublesteamclinchedthetournamentvictory.SeniorAlexSkidmore

is theusual partner of Singer infirst doubles who became ill.

The Lady Braves return sixof the seven starters from lastseasonwith their 2013No. 2 sin-gles player, Maren McKennasitting out due to injury. Withfreshman Gracey Hirsch step-ping in, there’s been no drop-off.

“It’s the deepest and mosttalented team I’ve had,” Samu-els said. “We couldn’t be better,top to bottom.”

The singles lineup of Breda,Hirsch and Andersen haveplayedallovertheMidwestandhave been playing for years.Each can name a favorite out-of-state complex.

Outside of spring break,they are year-round, diverseplayers.

Last season as sophomores,Breda and Andersen finishedin third-place in Division IIdoubles before helping the La-dy Braves take the state teamtournament the next day inReynoldsburg.

“It was the highlight be-cause singles is a lot of pres-sure,” Breda said. “In doubles,it can be extremely competi-tive and we’ve played someamazing teams. It’s kind of anice break from singles. It’s alot to play four matches aweek.”

Completing Indian Hill’ssquad are sophomores AmaliaGuzman and Hannah Mendel-sohn and freshman Julia Yin-glingwho also consistentlywinwhen given the opportunity.

The door is open for Cincin-nati Country Day to breakthrough andwin aMiami ValleyConference championship andadvance beyond the final eightin the state tournament. Re-buildingahealthyvarsityrosterwillbe thekey toCCDtaking thenext step.

The Indians only graduatedtwo contributing seniors fromlast year’s state quarterfinalsquad.With somuchexperiencereturning, this appeared to be apromising year for the Indians.Before the season even started,the injury bug bit. It hasn’tstoppedgnawingattheCCDros-ter yet.

Four projected starters arecurrently shelved.All-statecen-tral defender and team captainWill Cohen is expected to returnthismonth fromanankle injury.Soham Basu will be back nextmonth after his broken legheals. Quinn Petrie injured hisshoulder playing basketballover the summer, and may bebackintimeforpostseasontour-nament play. Justin Ramey isworking his way back from afoot injury.

“Injuries are our biggest ob-

stacle right now,” said headcoachGregHirschauer.

Yet,despitealloftheinjuries,the Indians are off to a 8-1 start,reeling off eight straight victo-ries after dropping the seasonopener. They are tied atop theMiamiValleyConferencestand-ings with Seven Hills. The twoteams meet in the regular sea-son’s penultimate match, on Oc-tober8.TheIndianshopetohavea healthy squad by that point,but will also have experiencedyoung players who have proven

themselves at the varsity level.“In Division III soccer, you

usually don’t have much depth.That’susually thedifferencebe-tweenDivisionIandDivisionIIIschools,” saidHirschauer. “Thisyear is probably unusual in thesense that we do have a little bitof depth.”

I wish to formally thankU.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, U.S.Sen. Rob Portman and U.S.Sen. Sherrod Brown for theirtotal failure to negotiate drugprices for Medicare Part D.

This failure has led to great-ly increased costs for all tax-payers and greatly increasedcosts for old people!

This behavior is destructiveto our supposed free-marketsystem. It is a needless extracost for taxpayers. Acceptingcampaign contributions inexchange for a “no” vote onnegotiated drug prices is justas onerous as a governor of astate accepting free jet trans-portation from a contractordoing business with his state.One wasted taxpayer dollar istheft in office.

Brownwhines that hedoesn’t havethe votes tobring legisla-tion to thefloor.

“We havetried,” he stat-ed. “There isno possibilitythat we can get

it passed.”Portman and Chabot are

both Tea Party Republicanswho believe in “free markets.”Gentlemen, how can you havea free market when the markethas been bought and paid forwith campaign money?

How can you have a freemarket when the pricing isfixed? How can you have a

free market when the negotia-tions are completely one sided?You can’t! We do not have “freemarkets” any more than wehave democracy! What we dohave, is a plutocracy, wherethe wealthy drug companiesand their shareholders caninfluence your Representa-tive’s or senator’s vote. Pleasetell me, if I am being too harshon these men!

Where are all the women?Oh…now I remember…JeanSchmidt used to represent us.But, didn’t she write a lengthypiece stating why it was goodto not have competitive bid-ding on drug prices for oldpeople? So, I guess genderdoesn’t matter. You just haveto follow the money, yours, asit flows to suppliers on a non-

competitive basis. Just likeIraq!

Should we suggest thatDefense Supply Center Phila-delphia, Virginia, and eachmilitary branch suspend com-petitive bidding for theirdrugs? Why don’t we suspendcompetitive bidding on allgovernment contracts, for allproducts and services? Ourpresent debt is $222 trillion;this would skyrocket to doubleor triple the current debt.

None of your representa-tives are pursuing legislationthat would fix our most impor-tant problems. The debt is ournumber one problem. Thevalue of our currency is thenumber two problem. Thesecurity of our country is ournumber three problem.

You say you are working ona jobs bill? You cannot obtainthe private investment neededto sustain a reliable jobs pro-gramwithout having a stableeconomy and a stable cur-rency.

You want a weak dollar, sothat exports will be cheaper;yet, you are unwilling to legis-late a higher minimumwage,when the hamburger helperscannot eat, due to the cheaperdollar, and a regressive mini-mumwage.

Start negotiating now, toresolve the debt, stabilize thedollar, and secure our country.

Something has drasticallychanged in our economy.

In 1880 a private companybuilt the Cincinnati street carcompany with inclines, paidfor it andmade a profit withthe fares collected. It con-tinued to be a private companyuntil 1973. Nowwe need $147million of taxpayer dollars tobuild and operate a four-milestreet car route. What haschanged?

In 1875 the zoo was built asa private for profit companyand the tickets at the gate paidfor it andmade a profit. Thislasted until 1932 when the citytook it over. Now the zoo re-quires taxpayers to pay $6.8million per year and they needmore. The zoo also receivesabout $10.6 million a year in-donations and brings in asincome about $12.9 million forgate tickets, parking and con-cessions.

What has changed?In 1878Music Hall was built

by several music groups andbusinessmen as a profit mak-ing enterprise. It ran as a prof-it making business until the1950s. Now the city needs $100million plus to modernize it.

What has changed?

In 1912Powel Crosleyowner of theReds builtCrosley Fieldwith no publicmoney, itmade a profitand it lasteduntil 1970when Riverfront stadiumwas built and

taxpayers had to pay the cost.Cincinnati Union Terminal

was built by the B&ORailroadas a private company in 1933including a roundhouse and 94miles of track for $ 41millionand was paid for with railpassenger tickets. NowUnionTerminal needs 100millionfrom taxpayers to maintain thestructure.

What has changed?In 1937 I was born at Good

Samaritan Hospital. Mymoth-er was there for 6 days and thetotal bill, including the doctorwas $118.00

What has changed?In 1955 I enrolled at the

University of Dayton and thetuition was $240 a semester.Now the tuition at highly tax-

payer subsidized public col-leges is $12,600.

What has changed?What has changed is the

size of government. In 1900government was 5 percent ofgross domestic product andtoday the cost of Federal,State, and local government is53 percent of GDP. All of thisextra government money isbuilt into our telephone bills,our electric bills, our grocerybills, our maintenance bills,fuel bills, hotel bills, taxi bills,hospital bills and every otherthing that we buy.

This means that we paydouble for everything we 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 like Greece, Italy, Spain,Venezuela, Brazil, and hun-dredsmore.

Wemust cut the size ofgovernment and our deficit.

Sept. 18 questionHas the National Football

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 thatfact alone, they need to beheld to a higher standard ofmorality than the rest of us.It is a rare privilege to begood enough to play in the bigleagues and if you happen to

be that talented or lucky, youneed to be held to a one-and-done morality clause. Muckup once and your are out forlife. Seems harsh, but howmany youth see these guys dothese kinds of stupid andwrong beatings/murders/rapes/gun violations/drugviolations etc. and then the

guy is back playing later thisyear or next, so it must be OKfor our youth to do that too?”

M.J.F.

“Once the NFL had all thefacts in the Ray Rice spousalabuse case they stiffened hispenalty. His Ravens team andthe NFL have suspended himindefinitely. However Raywas paid huge front end bo-nuses that should be re-couped. It appears the NFLhas an epidemic of theseabuses both spousal andchild. The indefinite suspen-sion of at least one yearmakes sense for the firsttime offender; after that alife time ban. I am glad theBengals have been free ofthese thugs. Go Figure!”

As threatening events inUkraine continue to unfold wearemade aware daily of inev-itable acts of terror, such as thedowning ofMalaysia flightMH17.

A potential Russian invasioninto Ukraine could initiate theunfathomable possibility of alarge-scale war in Europe.

As Americans, we should notblow off the increasing threatsposed byRussia’s aggression.Ukrainematters.

As the Putin Doc-trine proceeds, we couldwit-ness a shrinkingUkraine andthe inevitable transformationof Eastern Europe into a rebuiltRussian Empire.Where does itend? Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia?

Also, as theworld watchesRussia’s actions, an insidiousmessage is being sent to othercountries, that it’s easy toma-nipulate conflict. Countriessuch asNorthKorea, Iran andChina surelymust bewatchinghow easily Russia has done thisin Ukraine. Could they be con-sidering possible opportunitiesto do so as well, in their ownspheres of influence?

Awar in Europe could alsospark a new nuclear arms race.Countries with nuclear weap-onsmay decide it’s time to beef

up. Countrieswithout nucle-ar weapons,like SaudiArabia, maydecide it’s timeto jump in.

Finally,there’s theeconomic cost.A large con-flict in Europecould have a

SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • B3LIFE

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

with anti-aging qual-ities.

One ofmy topicswas breadsincewheat wasone of thefirst, if notthe first,crop plant-ed backthen. A

young woman came up tome afterward and askedif I ever made challah,the honey egg bread.Yes, I told her, I have.“Would you send meyour recipe?” she asked.Yes, I told 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 adaptedfrom Joan Nathan’s, anexpert on Jewish 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 warm wa-ter, 110-115 degrees

1 tablespoon activedry yeast (not rapid rise)

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

temperature1 tablespoon salt8 cups unbleached all

purpose flour - I usedKing Arthur brand

Egg wash - 1 or 2whole eggs, beaten untilblended

Sprinkle yeast overwarm water. 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 uponthe size of the bowl, ifyou’re using a hand orstand mixer, 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 willbe dry. Cover with dampclean cloth and let riseuntil doubled in bulk - upto 1-1/2 hours or so.

Punch dough downand again place on light-ly floured surface. Di-vide in half and kneadeach half for a fewmoreminutes, adding moreflour if needed. Again, becareful here - add justenough flour to keep itfrom being sticky.

Divide each half intothirds and roll into ropesabout 1-1/2” wide. Pinchtop ends of each 3 ropestogether. Then, startingfrom the middle, start

braiding, again pinchingends after braiding.Leave as is or curvebraid into a circle andpinch ends together verywell. I pinch and tuckends under.

Spray 2 baking sheetsor use parchment paper.Put braids on. Brushwith egg wash. Coverwith towel and let riseuntil doubled, about anhour. Preheat oven to375.

If you want a lac-quered finish, brushgently again with eggwash. Bake for 30-40

minutes. 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 beas sweet as homemadechallah, but it’s stillgood.

Hot mulled cider

I can’t believe theweather 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 or

so. Strain, add brandy,and enjoy.

1 qt. apple ciderBrown sugar to taste -

start with 3 tablespoons4 whole ea. cloves and

allspice berriesSeveral pinches fresh-

ly ground nutmeg6” cinnamon stick,

B4 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 LIFE

This is the time ofyear when many con-sumers hire home im-provement contractorsto fix up items aroundtheir house. Before youhire a contractor, youshould know there aresome who just take yourmoney and run.

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 or-dered the windows,wants to charge her a re-stocking fee after shecomplained and said shewants her money back.

Ohio At-torney Gen-eral MikeDeWinesays his of-fice has re-ceivedmore than60 com-

plaints about home im-provement contractorssince June. Most of hiscomplaints involve as-phalt, concrete or pavingwork. The averageamount of money disput-ed is more than $3,000.

Most of those com-plaints involved shoddyresurfacing of the drive-way, rough spots orcracks in theconcrete, im-proper drainage, drive-ways not level, and inef-fective and incomplete

sealing.To protect yourself al-

ways check out a contrac-tor with the Better Busi-ness Bureau to make surethey have a good recordand have been in businessfor a while. If they’re amember of the BBB somuch the better becausethen the bureau can medi-ate any problems you mayencounterwith the compa-ny.

Make sure you get acopy of the company’sworkers compensationand liability insurance pol-icies. If the firm doesn’thave both policies to giveyou, go to another firm.

Avoid paying a lot ofmoney upfront so the con-tractor has an incentive toreturn and do the work. I

suggest following the Cin-cinnati Home RemodelingOrdinance and limitingyour down payment to nomore than10 percent of thecost of the job, except forspecial order items.

Never pay more thanthe amount of work that’sbeen satisfactorily com-pleted.

Make sure the contractyou receive contains thecompany’s name, addressand phone number. Itshould also state the startand completion dates ofthe job.
