Every winter I’m reminded to check my natural gas rate and compare the rates of different suppliers. It has been so mild in N.E. Ohio that it didn’t occur to me until tonight. With the threat of our first major snow storm upon us now is the time to shop around. I renegotiated our rate from $6.99 MFG down to $5.49.
If you've never renegotiated your rate with your supplier, maybe it's time.

Katie Howlett Jenkins for City of Painesville Council - Ward 2
Proud of Painesville’s Past – Positive for Painesville’s Future
A lifelong resident of Painesville, Katie looks forward to devoting her talents and education for the betterment of Painesville.
Katie’s roots lie deep in Painesville. Born Katherine Rebecca Howlett at Lake Hospital East in 1980, Katie attended Painesville schools throughout her K-12 education. Upon graduating from Harvey High in 1999, Katie attended Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, receiving her BA in environmental studies in 2003. From there, Katie accepted a job in Pittsburgh, but her heart was still in Painesville. She returned home in 2004. She was immediately offered a position with the State of Ohio where she has held progressively higher positions over the last seven years. Katie is currently the assistant to the director of training in the State of Ohio’s mental health division.
While working full time, Katie pursued and received her master’s degree in 2007 from the Cleveland State University College of Urban Affairs with a major in public administration.
In a few weeks we're going to fire up our furnaces and have the pleasure of paying those high heating bills again. This is a good time to review your natural gas rate. My household is with IGS (through Dominion). We had a rate of $7.60 which I just lowered to $6.69.
If you've never renegotiated your rate with your supplier, maybe it's time.

LAKE COUNTY, OHIO - A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND PLAY!
Although we are geographically the smallest of Ohio's 88 Counties, we currently rank 11th in population with more than 236,000 citizens, and we continue to be among Ohio's fastest growing area!
Our work force is highly skilled, and we put a premium on education and training. Teachers in Lake County average the highest wages in the state, and we have the lowest percentage of population living below the poverty line.
The most unique feature about us is the 31 miles of shoreline we have on Lake Erie. There are two major rivers flowing through the County which provide us with harbors and marinas for shipping and superb recreational opportunities.
A number of large national and regional companies call Lake County home and have their headquarters here. International business is also significant because of our access to the St. Lawrence Seaway and Hopkins International Airport (in Cleveland). A manufacturer would be hard-pressed to find a better location for export business.
Lake County's reputation in agricultural circles is legendary. Blessed with some of the most fertile soil anywhere, our Nursery Industry is a national leader. Our well-established Wine Industry is nationally known because of our ideal soil and climate for grape production.
Our Lake County location also puts you within 20 miles of world-class business, educational, cultural and recreational activities in the greater Cleveland area.
Come and see the many benefits we have to offer your business and your family.
The City of Painesville will host the Annual Community Picnic in beautiful Kiwanis Recreation Park from 1-4:00 pm on September 11.

The Community Picnic features canoe rides, 3-on-3 basketball, corn hole, and disc golf, just to name a few of the events. Afterward, the Painesville Fire Department will present the 4th Annual 9/11 Memorial and Awards Ceremony at 5:00 pm at the fire station. The ceremony will remember the victims of September 11 and those firefighters who have died in the line of duty over the past year.

I build real estate relationships. Let me help build yours! Serving Lake and Geauga counties.
Welcome to Lake County, Ohio!
Lake County Court House
Christine Hart Howlett has been a full-time real estate professional since 2004, specializing in residential sales mostly in Lake County, and specifically in Painesville. Dedicated to making your buying and selling experience as stress-free as possible, Christine goes above and beyond to assist and advise you throughout the process. Her goal is finding the absolute best property for your budget. Whether you're ready to buy a home now or just thinking about it, she is available to answer your questions and is looking forward to hearing from you.
Background Information
Christine is a member and 2009/2010 President-Elect of of Lake-Geauga Area Association of REALTORS®, a member of the Board of Directors of the Ohio Association of REALTORS, a member of the National Association of REALTORS, and many community organizations.

"As a realtor and resident, Christine Howlett 'sings' Painesville's praises and advocates for our community."
For Sellers
I use a very aggressive marketing strategy to improve your chances for a quick sale. I believe it is important to get your listing noticed early for the most impact.
I work independently. When you call you will talk only with me. I will handle all details and aspects of your transaction because you have entrusted ME, and only me, with the responsibility of selling your home.
I will complete a comparative market analysis to determine the market range price for your home. I will then review the results with you and advise you regarding the best listing price, determined by your motivation. I will also stay in constant contact, keeping you informed about showing feedback and market conditions.
For Buyers
Purchasing a home can be a daunting experience. As your agent, I will be with you every step, paving the way toward home ownership. An initial no obligation consultation to discuss your needs and goals is recommended as the first step. The more information I have about what you're looking for, the more effective I will be in finding the perfect home for you.
Areas Served: Lake and Geauga counties. I will be glad to refer you to agents in other parts of the U.S.
I have bought and sold six houses in my lifetime. The property that Chris assisted me in selling was by far the least expensive, but Chris treated it like it was a million dollar listing. Chris was the most attentive realtor I have ever dealt with. She went out of her way to do the things necessary to sell it quickly, and sold it in less than two weeks. I will always use Christine Howlett as my realtor.
