BRIEFLY

Hamilton Countyproperty owners willagainbeable to seewhatthey will pay in taxes ifproposed levies on theballot on Tuesday, Nov.5, general election intheir taxingdistricts arepassed.

Hamilton County Au-ditor Dusty Rhodes hasadded estimated infor-mation on new levies onthe website www.hamil-toncounty auditor.org.

By accessing theirproperty records, home-owners can go to thelevy tab on their proper-ty’s record main page tosee theeffectofnewlev-ies based on their prop-erty’s current value.

“This is vital infor-mation which allowsvoters to see what theywill pay if new tax leviesare approved,” Rhodessaid. “It is all a part ofholding government ac-countable to the peoplewho pay for it,” he said.

The attachment is atable listing two countywide levy renewals aswell as renewals in GolfManor, Mariemont,Green and Symmes

townshipsand theThreeRivers School District.New levieswill be on theballot in North Bend,North College Hill, Ter-racePark, theDeerParkSchool District and theOak Hills School Dis-trict.

The first two col-umns identify the taxingauthority and the pur-pose of the levy. Alsolisted is the requestedmillage, the type of levy,its duration, the currenttax on a $100,000marketvalue property, and theestimated annualamount the tax wouldraise if approved by thevoters.

The estimated annualcost to taxpayer columnrefers to an owner-occu-pied residence and as-sumes the 10 percentand 2.5 percent state re-ductions and the coun-ty’s stadiumsales tax re-duction for renewals.

The calculations fornew levies do not reflectthese reductions. Theyhave been eliminated bythe state legislature fornew levies.

Tax levy info for voters

State lawmakers aretryingtochangethe lawtogive public landowners asay in expedited annex-ations.

OhioRep.PeterStautb-erg (R-27th District) re-cently introduced a newbill that would bring an-nexation rules back to

where they were morethan a decade ago. Theoriginal intent of the law,Stautberg said at a recentAndersonTownship trust-eesmeeting,was to not al-lowtownships touseroad-ways to block annex-ations.

But thewording in thatbill made it so “any landowned by a political sub-division had no rights inannexation,” Stautbergsaid.

That meant cemeter-ies, parks, greenspaceand other public propertyfell into the same catego-ry as a roadway.

The issue has playedout locally during the pastcouple years as Newtowntried to use expedited an-nexation to take over theLittle Miami Golf Centerand Bass Island Park,both in Anderson Town-ship, to get to Fifty WestBrewing Co. and HahanaBeach on Wooster Pike inColumbia Township.

BobSlattery,whoownsthose two businesses,

originallywanted tobe annexedinto New-town buthas sincedroppedhis re-quest.

Withthis type of annexation,neither theGreatParks ofHamilton County, whichowns both the golf centerand Bass Island, nor An-derson Township, had avoice in the process.

Stautberg said the newproposal would roll backthe language in the cur-rent law and give publiclandowners “a right to sayyes or no to expedited an-nexation.”

That would mean parkdistricts, townships andschool boards would beable to approve or rejectannexations of publiclyowned land, and Stautb-erg said he expects thiswill be a battle as itmovesthrough the legislativeprocess.

“It’s astonishing to mewhy it’s taken this long fortownships and their tax-payers to be counted atthe table as a land owner,”said Anderson TownshipTrustee Peggy Reis.“That’s the one compro-mise we can’t afford tolose.”

She asked Stautberg topay special attention tothe bill as it nears its finalform to make sure noth-ing detrimental to town-ships was added orchanged at the last min-ute.

“All we’ve ever askedfor is to be on a level play-ing field,” Township Trus-tee Russ Jackson said.“We’re not asking for spe-cial favors. All we want isto be treated like every-one else.”

Stautberg said therewould be proponent andopponent hearings on thebill, which is currently inthe Ohio House’s Stateand Local GovernmentCommittee.

the bike lanes extendedeven further to connectColumbia Parkway andRiverside Drive.

Williams said that con-nection was recently add-

ed to the project, but itmight be difficult to addbike lanes without widen-ingor impactingvehiculartraffic on that block ofDelta Avenue.

They’re trying to find asolution, but “sharrows” –amarked, shared bike andvehicle lane –might be theonly option for now, he

said.The project is expected

to go out to bid in Novem-ber, with construction be-ginning next spring. Feed-back, which Williams saidhas been about 70 percentpositive, is still being ac-cepted on the city trans-portation department’swebsite.

As of Monday, Oct. 28, therewas a 75 percent chance that ateam from the Miami ValleyConference will representsouthwest Ohio in the OHSAADivision III boys’ soccer statesemifinals.

Three teams from the MVCwon district championships onOct. 26 to advance to the region-al semifinals. Defending statechampion Summit CountryDay,CincinnatiCountryDayandSev-en Hills are among the final 16teams in the state playing Divi-sion III boys’ soccer this season.

Nearly 20 percent of the re-gional semifinalists come fromthe same conference in Cincin-nati, illustrating how tough andtalented the MVC is year in andyear out.

“The league has always beencompetitive, as historically theMVC has the very best coachesin Cincinnati,” said SummitCountry Day head coach Bar-nardBaker. “Coaches like TerryNicholl from Seven Hills andGreg Hirschauer from CCD al-ways makes the title very diffi-cult to attain.”

The Summit won its sixth-straight district championship.The Silver Knights have wondistrict titles in six of Baker’sseven seasons at the helm.Afterlosing in theRoundof16 in threestraight seasons from2009-2011,Summit broke through withfour-straight shutouts in region-al and state play last season toclaim the state title. The SilverKnights (13-2-4) are preparedfor postseason play after com-peting in the MVC and againsttop competition from through-out Ohio during the regular sea-son.Theteamalsofacedsomeofthe top teams in New Jersey,Pennsylvania, and Kentuckyduring the season.

“Weactuallycompeteoutsideof Cincinnati more than mostschools.AlongwithourMVCop-ponents, and a couple of out-of-conference teams,we’ve tried toplay the top teamsfromtheDay-ton, Columbus, Toledo andCleveland areas,” Baker said.“We have also traveled outsideof Ohio to play state championsfrom Indiana, Kentucky, Penn-sylvania and New Jersey. Mostbigger schools avoid playing us,so we opt to travel to find thevery best teams to competeagainst.”

Seven Hills (13-2-4) playedSummit CountryDay to a score-less draw in the team’s only reg-ular season meeting back onSept. 7. The Stingers lost at Cin-cinnati Country Day late in theseason. That loss, coupled withSummit’s defeat of the IndiansSept. 26, clinched the MVC titlefor Summit. The regular seasoncompetition prepared the MVCopponents well for postseasonplay. Seven Hills won its firstdistrict title since 2009 and Cin-cinnati Country Day won thefirst boys’ soccer district title inprogram history.

“I feel that what makes theMVCsocompetitiveisthatthereis no particular style,” said Bak-er. “Theteamsandstyleschangewith the talent levels. No onereally re-invents the wheel. Weall steal ideas from each other.That’spartof the joyofcoachingsoccer.”

It is impressive that three ofthe four Region 12 finalists arefrom Cincinnati (the fourth isSpringfield Catholic Central). Itis remarkable that three of the

EAST WALNUT HILLS —Sports wisdom calls a tie kiss-ing your sister.

But what about your actualsister school? Especially whena tie isn’t an option.

Ursuline Academy and St.Ursula Academy – both underthe auspices of Ursuline nunswho were founded more than570 years ago by Italian St. An-gela Merici – share a lot oftraits.

Among them, membershipin the Girls Greater CatholicLeague, where both achieveregular and remarkable suc-cess.

Since 1990, the two havecombinedfor28OhioDivisionIstate team titles in golf, volley-ball and swimming alone.

Many others athletes – in-cluding current Ursuline sen-iorMevish Safdar in tennis andSt. Ursula junior AnnieHeffer-nan in trackandcrosscountry–own individual state champion-ships.

The two schools met for theOct. 23 field hockey regional

semifinals – a sportwhere SUAwon the 2010 state title and UAreached the final four last sea-son.

Ursuline won 1-0 on a firsthalf goal by junior forwardAnaGonzalezDelRey.SeniorgoalieKatie Polson anchored the de-fense that protected the lead,staving off repeated penaltycorners by the Bulldogs.

“It really is likeplayingyoursister,” said SUA field hockeycoach Sarah Catlin of compet-ing against Ursuline. “I thinkthere’s a lot of respect for oneanother.Wedrawout thebest ineach other.”

Lions coach Elli Workumagreed.

“Theyplayusuphigher thanany other team we face,” shesaid. “I’d say three quarters ofour team is speed and they do avery nice job trying to negatethat, taking away our lines. Wealways had to get it through 10

players.”There were some tears on

the SUA sideline as the seasoncame to a close.

“This is disappointing andthiswill hurtandyouhave to letit,” Catlin told her team in thepostgame huddle. “But tomor-row you’re still going to be St.UrsulaBulldogs, you’re alwaysapart of this teamand this fam-ily. This has been one of themost fun teams I ever had tocoach.”

Gonzalez Del Rey had funmaking the goal.

“My teammates set me upfor it perfectly,” she said. “It’sawesome, the best feeling inthe world, especially against(SUA). They’re such good com-petitors.

“(Freshman forward) JillianShivemade a beautiful cross tome and I just tipped it and itwent right back into thebackofthecage.Weallwant todothosebig hits and just a little tip is allyou need.”

Bothcoachesagreed it camedown to a matter of a break.

“I’ve been talking to (Gonza-lez Del Rey) all year about notswinging hard,” Workum said.

“Thatwas a perfect example ofbeing in the right pace and justgettingatouchandnot tryingtocrush the ball.”

Catlin said, “Sometimes infield hockey youplay great anddon’t get that one bounce youneed to win. That’s what hap-pened tonight. We didn’t get abreak. It was a great game be-tween two great teams.”

WALNUT HILLS — For thesecond consecutive year, theWalnut Hills High School girlssoccer teammade the DivisionI district tournament by de-feating Oak Hills.

In 2012, itwas a 2-1overtimethriller. This year, it was yourroutine 3-1 victory at WintonWoods Oct. 21.

“They’re a good opponent,”Walnut Hills coach Bob Murosaid. “They’re dangerous, real-ly dangerous.”

The Lady Eagles got a mea-sure of revenge on Oak Hillsfor an Aug. 24, 2-1 loss. Murowent out of the Eastern Cincin-nati Conference to the GreaterMiami Conference severaltimesduring the season, facingFairfield, Sycamore and Lako-

ta West.“That’s why we do this, to

prepare us for tournamenttime,” Muro said.

TheOct.21OakHillswinputthem against a familiar GMCfoe in Fairfield Oct. 24. Walnutand Fairfield tied 0-0 Aug. 31.

On Oct. 24, Walnut Hillsgrabbed a 2-0 halftime lead ongoals by Alexis Kiehl and KatCheng and held on behind Oli-viaGrondin in goal to end Fair-field’s season and advance asdistrict champions.

TheLadyEaglesplaySt.Ur-sula inaregional semifinalOct.29 after deadline. For up-to-date results go towww.cincinnati.com/preps.

“It’s anybody’s game andwhoever plays the best game isgoing to win it,” Muro said ofthe tournament.

Muro’s crew emphasize de-fense. During the season, onlyRoss scored three goals on theLady Eagles.

“Our back four has done

really well,”Muro said. “LorenRichardson,ScoutLaCoe,Mad-die Hordinski and Kate War-ren, who was hurt for a longtime, have made a big differ-ence.”

Walnut’s goalkeeper is ju-nior Grondin. She shut out Ur-suline, Anderson, Fairfield,Glen Este and Mariemont dur-ing the season and now Fair-field in the postseason.

“She’s been our only keep-er,” Muro said. “We used tohave two and onehad aknee in-jury.”

All four of the Walnut Hillscaptains are going on to playcollege soccer. Midfielder Ga-brielle Brokamp is going toUAB (Alabama-Birmingham),forwards Alexis and KaitlynnKiehl will play at Dayton anddefender Morgan Shafer isheading toNorthernKentucky.

“They’re very well respect-edand theyget alongwithall ofthe girls,” Muro said. “Eventhough they probably are the

best players out there, itdoesn’t get to their head.They’re very low key in whatthey’re doing and give good ad-vice.”

Senior Kat Cheng is Wal-nut’s second-leading scorer be-hind Alexis Kiehl and she alsomay play collegiately.

“Wedon’t knowwhere she isgoing yet,” Muro said. “She’sfirst in her class and she canpretty much go anywhere shewants right now. I think shewants to play. I think a lot of itdepends on where she goes toschool.”

Other seniors on their finalrun for Walnut Hills are EmilyRoemhild, Emma Van Bakeland Chloe LaCoe. Ten juniorsand two sophomores are slatedto return for 2014.

“This has been a greatgroup,”Muro said. “It’s been towatch them grow. They’vebeen playing together, most ofthem, since they were fresh-men.”

four hail from the sameconference. The level ofplay in southwest Ohio,especially in the MVC,continues to improveeach year. Three teamsare each four wins awayfrom bringing the statechampionship back toCincinnati. Summit hasplans to repeat, but willhave to get past one, andpossiblytwo,familiarop-ponents in order to ad-vance. The quality ofplay and players in theMVC gives the league a

good chance of keepingthe state championshipin Cincinnati.

“The level of playerhas improved dramat-ically. Club soccer hasbecome a prevalent sta-ple for the successfulteams,” said Baker. “Allof the successful teamshave at least one bluechip-level player in theirline-up on the DivisionIII level.”

OnOct. 30, afterdead-lines, Seven Hills facedSCD, while CincinnatiCountry Day facedSpringfield CatholicCentral. The winnersmeetupfor theRegion12title on Saturday, Nov. 2.

It’s about more thanjust winning for St. Xavi-er High School soccercoach Brian Schaeper.

Building upon thefoundation laid by hispredecessor Henry Ah-rens, Schaeper continuedthe ways that have led toseven consecutive win-ning seasons and threestraight Greater CatholicLeague South titles.

“(Henry) built a verysuccessful program that Ithink focused on the rightthings and not just win-ning,” Schaeper said.“Winning was a bi-prod-uct of that and I’ve reallycontinuedthat traditionofdoing things off the fieldthat build the team expe-rienced.”

His ways are workingright now as the Bombers(10-3-2) have won ninestraight games heading into the postseason. Despitestarting the season 1-3-2,

the Bombers stuck totheir guns and eventuallystarted to find the back ofthe net.

His methods workedthis season as his Bomb-ers finished the season12-4-2, including an 11-gamewin streak before bowingout in the postseason witha 2-1 loss to Lakota WestOct. 26 in a Division I dis-trict final.

“…Itwas just that finalcomponent that wasn’tfinishing and we keptpluggingaway,” thecoachsaid. “Wehad to believe inourselves, had to wrestlewith the little momentsand so we’ve cleaned thatup a lot.”

Much of their successcan be attributed to theplay of seniors Jack Cau-dill ofHydeParkandAus-

tin Harrell of Mason. Theteam captains and centermidfielders’ play may notshow up in the stats, but itallows Schaeper to im-pose his team’s will ontheir opponent and notvice versa.

“We’re able to set the

tone in most games,”Schaeper said, whocoachedSt.X’s juniorvar-sity team the last sevenyears.

The Bombers’ biggestoffensive weapon wasn’teven a starter. It’s not atalent issue; it’s a person-

nel issue. Senior KileySunderhaus, who hadthree goals and an assiston the season, is the start-er and used his speed towear down an opponentand free thingsup for sen-ior Ryan Hadley , who ledSt. X with 10 goals in theregular season.

“(Sunderhaus) is thefastest guy on the teamand he’s really stretchingthe field,” the coach said.“He’s lightning fast, sode-fenses (have to track him)andnowRyaniscomingin

fresh off the bench andhaving a knack of findingthe right place.”

While Schaeper wasn’table to take his guys tostate, thereweremore im-portant goals at hand.

“I tell them at the be-ginningof theyearandre-peatedly throughout theyear that the main reasonI’m doing this is because Iwant them to be bettermen. The result on thefield, I love it, but it’s asmall product of what wehope for.”

A publication of

As the Bengals continuetheir 45th season, some mightrecall their first in 1968, whenveteran coach Paul Brownstruggled with an expansionteam in the old AmericanFootball League.

Brown’s stellar record inCleveland abruptly endedwhen owner Art Modell lethim go. After a frustratinghiatus on the bench, Brownreturned to the game, thistime in Cincinnati. The newfranchise’s name came from ashort-lived Cincinnati Ben-gals team from the late 1930s.

This expansion team draft-ed a few veteran free agentsand several rising stars fromthe college ranks. Brownwanted more pliable rookiesfor loyalty and to build a fu-ture rather than talented pri-ma donnas for short term

gain.Early

recruits in-cluded run-ning back PaulRobinsonfrom ArizonaState, All-Americancenter BobJohnson fromTennessee,and Utah re-

ceiver Bob Trumpy. They alsotook experienced Miami Dol-phin quarterback John Stofa.

Coach Bill Walsh joinedBrown’s staff a decade beforere-shaping the game at SanFrancisco.

Brown set up trainingcamp at Wilmington College,where he whittled down theoriginal 125 recruits to 75players. By their first exhibi-

tion game against KansasCity, Sports Illustrated calledthe squad “ragged and out-manned.” They lost 38-14. Theteam went 2-3 in the presea-son.

They gave Cincinnatianshope in the opening drive oftheir first regular seasongame at San Diego. Quarter-back Dewey Warren replacedthe injured Stofa and took theteam 72 yards. But the Char-gers went on to win 29-13.

The first regular seasonhome game against the Den-ver Broncos followed in Clif-ton (the Bengals played itsfirst two seasons at NippertStadium). On an unseasonablycold mid-September after-noon hot chocolate rivaledbeer sales. Just over 25,000fans attended. The UC cheer-leaders led the cheers.

“I coached myself before Icame,” a realistic Brown toldan AP sportswriter. “We’re anexpansion team…we have atough nut to crack.”

The Cincinnati Enquirer’sDick Forbes wrote his players“are as nervous as a Junebride.” The band fromBrown’s old Massillon schoolperformed at halftime of ascoreless game.

In the second half, BengalDale Livingston kicked a 49-yard field goal, and then ahealed Stofa hit Trumpy for a58-yard TD. Denver thenmatched them with a fieldgoal and a TD pass.

The turning point camewhen they went for a firstdown from their own 46 yardline. “We felt we had to takethe chance,” Brown told theEnquirer. “It was a big turn-

ing point, and of course thefans wanted it.” They finishedthe Broncos 24-10. In the lock-er room Brown toasted theteam with a Coke, “To one in arow, men.”

The Bengals finished witha typical expansion-teamrecord, 3-11, and last in theirdivision.

Running back Paul Rob-inson rushed for over 1,000yards and earned AFL rookieof the year. Trumpy led theteam in receptions.

And future Bengals coachSam Wyche served as anotherbackup quarterback in with63 percent completions andnearly 500 total passingyards.

Last week’s questionDo you agree with Gov. John

Kasich’s attempts to bypass thestate legislature to secure fund-ing for Medicaid expansion?Why or why not?

“Yes.Whywouldn’twewanttax dollarswe are already pay-ing come back to our state?”

D.A.

“The ends never justify themeans. This was a terribleblow for democracy and theRepublican party.

“Since this move was madepossible by the Speaker of theOhio House and the MajorityLeader of the Senate we con-servatives have more thanKasich to blame for this.

“I don’t see how any think-ing conservative can supporttheRepublican party after thisoutrage.”

T.H.

“There are a few Republi-cans in Ohio who understand

how risky the game they areplaying is. Kasich appears tobe one of them, on several im-portant issues.

“Health care in the UnitedStates is grossly unfair, and itneeds to be improved. Refus-ing toallowchange isnotanop-tion.

“The Party of No will be-come the Party of Not, andthere may still be time for afew smart people to removethemselves from the sinkingship.”

N.F.

“Sounds like an Obama

move to me! If you can’t getwhat you want through theproper legislative processthen just do anend runon themand ignore the will of the peo-ple.

“I voted for Gov. Kasich butRINOs come in all sorts of dis-guises.WhenObamacare fails,Obamawill gethiswishandev-eryone but the super wealthyand the government will be onMedicaid anyhow.”

D.J.H.

“Yes, I do support expan-sion ofMedicaid.What’s amaz-ing is a conservative governorgoing out of his way to help thepoor and elderly in Ohio!”

TRog

“John Kasich did the rightthing in not letting the Repub-lican right wing dictate onwhat they perceive as anotherObama victory. The heck withthe needy.

“However, that being said, Iam somewhat cynical regard-

ing the governor’s motives. Ihope it is basedonboth theeco-nomics and the humanitarianreasons he has cited, but thismay be a ploy to get themiddlevote in 2014.

“Kasich has demonstratedhis ultra-conservative lean-ings with much of the legisla-tion he has backed in the lastcouple of years. At least onewas overwhelmingly repealedby the voters ofOhiowho dem-onstrated thatwearenotTexasand the rights of the citizensshould be a priority.

“Let’s keep Ohio free.”J.Z.

“It would be better if thelegislaturewouldpass this, butsince they won't, I salute Kas-ich for getting it done. Thismay be the first action he hastaken that I agree with.

“Access to health insuranceis critical for everyone. Timeto put the rhetoric aside andtake care of people.”

L auren Wiley remembersexactly when she realizedshe was in real trouble. It

was Nov. 24 of last year andWi-ley’s new business, WhippedGoods, was two months old.

Things had been going fineuntil that day, known in retail as“Small Business Saturday.”That morning, the orders start-ed coming in. By the day’s end,more than 300 customers hadordered Wiley’s products. Twodays later, “Cyber Monday,” ithappened again.

“I remember sitting there, atthe end of theMonday, and say-ing to myself: ‘I am going toneedsomehelp,’”Wiley, 26, saidfrom her home inMadisonville.

Whipped Goods started as askin and hair care company.The market line has grownsince then, but not the model.Wiley utilizes cooking tech-niques – mostly whipping,hence the company name – totransform organic and “raw”materials into creams and lo-tions and soaps.

This company is a product ofthe confidence of its creator.Wiley believed in what she wasmaking. She was certain thatCincinnatiwas therightplace tobuild a company like this. Andshe hoped people would want tospend their money on a compa-ny they felt good about. Evenone that made nearly every-thing in a kitchen mixing bowl.

“I’m that girl from Ohio whomakeseverythingbyhand,”Wi-ley said. “This company is de-signed for the woman whowants to know the origin of herproducts. For women who likethe narrative of a product.”

Wiley remembers sitting infront of her grandmother’smir-ror, with all its makeup and lo-tions, when shewas as young as4 years old. Her mom and dadlet her play in the kitchen, try-ing to make scented oils, as shewas growing up.

But after graduating fromthe University of Cincinnatiwith a degree in urban studiesfrom the College of Design, Ar-chitecture, Art and Planning,Wiley was no longer a little girlplayingwithmakeup. Shewas ayoung woman who needed to

earn a living.So while she made hair and

skin products for herself, shestarted working at School Out-fitters in Norwood, which fur-nishes schools. She learnedabout e-commerce and market-ing and customer service.

Wiley has always been anaviduserof socialmedia; byhermid-20sshehadmorethan5,000followers on Twitter alone.Early in 2012, she told a friend,on Twitter, that shewouldmakeher a body butter.

As soon as Wiley hit send,people started tweetingher thattheywanted some, too. And thattheywould pay for it.Wiley sawan opportunity to do somethingshe likedandmakesomemoneyon the side.

From August until October2012, she sold school furnish-ings during the day and madeand sold beauty products atnight. She told her father shecouldmake a living onWhippedGoods.

“I told her to keep workingand to showmeher numbers af-ter eight weeks,” Robert Dog-

gett said. “After six weeks sheshowed me, and I told her togive notice. This was what sheshould be doing.”

So she did. And because shewas working from home, thehouse she grew up in that sheand her husband bought fromher parents, because she wasdoing everything herself, be-cause the rawmaterials are notexpensive, she could start upWhipped Goods without goinginto debt.

“We’ve been profitable fromthe first day,”Wiley saysproud-ly. “I knew there was a market.It already existed.”

Wiley buys her grape oil, av-ocado oil and butters from res-taurant supply companies. Shemixes themintowhat shecalls a

souffle, adding scents to makethem smell just right, often us-ing lavender and ginger and eu-calyptus from her own garden.“Whipping changes every-thing,” Wiley said. Then sheputs them into containers usingpastry bags so they look beauti-ful.

And this, she knew, was im-portant. Customers like to feelthey are indulging themselves.Wiley’s customers started tak-ing photos of their new hairproduct or skin lotion and plac-ing them on Pinterest or Insta-gram. Her customers were be-coming her marketers.

“If itwerenot forTwitterandInstagram, I would not bewhere I am today,” she said. “Itopenssomanymarkets.Todate,we’ve had asmany orders fromParis as we’ve had from Cleve-land.”

NowWiley’s fatherworksfor

the company. So does her hus-band, Grafton Wiley, and herbest friend. Shewill need to addothers, she said, for the upcom-ing holiday season.

“The day after our one-yearanniversary, we had our10,000th order,” Wiley said.Then she revealed her compet-itive nature. “I was disappoint-ed because I really wanted toget there in one year.”

Theproducts aremade in thebasement andboxedon the firstfloor. Orders are taken in thelivingroom.Thebusiness is tak-ing over their home, but Wileyand her husband have drawn aline at the stairs. Upstairs re-mains home. And sometimes,she goes up there just to think.

“When I have time to thinkabout it, it’s extremely gratify-ing. I did this.We did this. It hasbeena lot ofwork, but I amveryproud.”m

As I look out my officewindow, I can see thevegetable garden and thepumpkin patch next to it.The garden is completelyfinished, not a veggie tobe seen. I did pick onelast big bunch of zinnias,

marigoldsand cos-mos fromthe cuttingflower rowfor thekitchentable andwas able tosave seedsfor nextyear. Westill have a

good amount of bell pep-pers, which I used for oneof my favorite chickenstir-fries.

Sweet and spicychicken and veggiestir-fry

Amazingly, exoticitems like sambal oelekand fish sauce used to behard to find. Now justabout every grocerystore carries these. Sam-bal olelek is a spicy con-diment found in the inter-national aisle. Ditto withthe fish sauce. I usuallystir in more sambal oelekafter the stir-fry is done.Feel free to use yourfavorite vegetables inhere.

1pound skinless, bonelesschicken breasts or thighs,cut into bite size piecesand set aside

12 oz. bag fresh stir-fryvegetables or 8 oz. sugarsnap peas

1 red bell pepper, sliced1⁄2 medium red onion, sliced

Sauce

Combine and set aside:

3 tablespoons dark brownsugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce1 tablespoon fish sauce1 tablespoon rice vinegar1 tablespoon sambal oelek1 tablespoon sesame oil3⁄4 teaspoon cornstarch

For garnish

Sliced green onionsDry roasted peanuts

Film a pan with oil andstir-fry chicken severalminutes until goldenbrown and done. Don’tovercook. Remove andset aside. Add a bit moreoil and stir-fry veggiesfor several minutes untilcrisp tender. Stir inbrown sugar mixture;cook a minute until thick-ened. Stir in chicken andtoss to coat. Serve withsesame rice. Serves 3-4.

Sesame riceCook your favorite

rice and stir in sesame oiland soy sauce to taste.Not too much!

Dinner in a dash:Ravioli with sautéedbutternut squashand thyme

I love butternutsquash. It’s chock full ofphytonutrients and anti-oxidants and is deliciousin both sweet and savorydishes. Butternut squashis a bear to try to cutthrough and peel. What Ilike to do is poke it allover with a fork, micro-wave it on high for just afewminutes, use mitts topull it out (it will be hot)and let it cool. The skinwill have softenedenough for you to slice

through it without using amachete.1⁄2 medium butternut squash(about 1 pound), peeledand diced into 1⁄2-inchpieces

Salt and pepper to taste2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced1 tablespoon fresh thyme orup to 1 teaspoon driedthyme (start with 1⁄2teaspoon and go fromthere)

16 oz. fresh or frozen cheeseravioli

Parmesan cheese forgarnish

Film pan with oil andadd squash. Cook, cov-ered, stirring occasional-

ly, until almost tender.Add garlic and thyme andcook, uncovered, tossingoccasionally, until squashis tender and just begin-ning to brown. Mean-while, cook ravioli ac-cording to package direc-tions. Put ravioli on plat-ter, top with squashmixture and sprinklegenerously with Parme-san. Serves 4.

dressing for Barbara D.“The restaurant was inMount Lookout about 10years ago. I have triedover 20 recipes and none

are the same.”

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Chicken safety: Towash or not. Here’s mytake on it: Do not washchicken. You’ll be splash-ing more bacteria overthe surface of the sink,counter and yourself. Noneed to worry about bac-teria in chicken when it’scooked to a safe degree.The USDA says to cook awhole chicken to 165degrees; parts to 165degrees and ground to165 degrees. Your visualhere is to have the juicesrun clear when poked

with a fork. For groundchicken, it will be thor-oughly cooked with nopink spots.

Safely seasoningraw chicken

Before handling thechicken, mix the sea-sonings in a little bowl.Discard the leftoverseasoning.
