Fueling frustration. High diesel prices bring spike in heating costs

Seth Sigman thinks he's found a way to lower his fuel oil costs this year. He said he recently paid just under $1,200 for 214 gallons of fuel to heat his Rootstown home. Last year, he spent $800 on a similar amount of fuel. Usually, he needs to fill his tank twice to make it through the winter. Sigman, 31, had a wood burner in his garage, which he decided to put back into service to reduce his home's oil dependence. This year, he managed to find wood for $275 a cord and expects two cords will be enough to get through the season. "Next year, I'll probably chop the wood myself," he said. "I didn't have time to do that this year." Rising prices of diesel are fueling frustration among homeowners in rural areas, who are spending almost twice as much as last year to heat their homes for the winter. People who heat their homes with "fuel oil," diesel fuel that's dyed red to distinguish it from the fuel used to power vehicles, are paying almost twice as much per gallon as they did this time last year for the fuel, said Evelyn Cutlip, owner of Falls Home

Seafood success: Construction nearly complete on Long John Silver's

For decades, travelers along Route 65 in Beaver County have passed by the Long John Silver's restaurant in the East Rochester shopping plaza. It was a steady sight until about four months ago , when the building was torn down and fencing went up around the property. Those passing by could only question what was going to replace the building as they watched digging, framing and other construction there. Now the signs are up and construction is nearing completion on the project, a newly revamped and modernized Long John Silver's at 750 Ohio River Blvd. The business will no longer include an A&W restaurant component, but it does have a redesign flipping the drive-thru window to the opposite side, making it easier for traffic to get through the area. Long John Silver's representatives still are not releasing an opening date, but acknowledged things are wrapping up as crews continue to work inside. "We’re excited to be nearing the finish line on our East Rochester restaurant and look forward to welcoming the community back later this year," Mike Niemiec, director of construction and development, told The Times Oct. 6 in an email. "We’ve been proud to serve this area for years,
