Theharshweather that blast-ed thenation thispastwinterdidmore than freeze folks to thebone and drive up energy bills.

The bitter cold temperaturesand snowfall also required mu-nicipalities throughout thecountry to use road salt in rec-ord amounts, resulting in limit-edsuppliesandhigherpricesforsalt this year.

“We’ve spent about twice asmuchaswedid lastyear,”GreenTownship Public Services Di-rector Joe Lambing said.

He didn’t provide an exactfigure for how much it cost thetownship per ton this year, butthe township paid $47.91per ton

in 2013. Lambing said the town-shiphasabout200tonsofsalt re-maining from last winter andhe’s ordered 2,800 tons for thecomingwinter.Hesaidthesalt isexpected to be delivered some-time inNovemberorDecember.

Colerain Township PublicWorks Director KevinSchwartzhoff said his depart-mentwas able to order its salt inpartnership with the Ohio De-partmentofTransporation.Thatwas a boon because the pricewas good: $65.30 per ton. Cole-rainTownship bought 5,000 tonsofsaltthroughODOTandhasre-ceived about two-thirds of itsshipment at this time.

Mike Hinnenkamp, Spring-field Twp. Administrator, sayshis township also went through

ODOTandboughtabout4tonsatthe $65.30 price. He says he hasheard fromanumber ofmunici-palities who need salt and can’tget it looking to get some of his.Springfield Township will sharesaltwithMountHealthy and theMount Healthy City School Dis-trict, he said.

Springfield Township has re-ceived about half the salt or-dered and will be entitled to aseason refill at the same price.While the township is pleasednot to be paying $100-plus perton, Hinnenkamp says it’s stilldoublewhat they paid last year.

Higher salt prices may havehit Ohio the hardest. Most coun-ties are paying between 43 per-

The Houston Early LearningCenter in the Northwest LocalSchool District is seeing stars.

Fiveof them.Fivestars is thetop ranking in Ohio’s voluntaryquality rating system for OhioDepartment of Jobs and FamilyServices licensed child careprograms, and Houston got it –the highest ranking. It is diffi-cult to get.

TheStepUptoQuality ratingsystemidentifiesearlycareandeducation programs that goabove Ohio’s licensing stan-dards.The rating systemrecog-nizes preschool programs of-fered by school districts, childcare facilties, and home childcare with stars, one through

five.The program aims to boost

the number of high-qualityearly care and education pro-grams helping kids and providespecialized training and pro-gram assistance for childcareproviders.

As of Sept. 11, there were 118school programs ranked in thestate of Ohio, and 83 of them re-ceived five stars, 25 receviedfour stars and 10 received 3stars.InHamiltonCounty,adoz-en programswere assessed lastyear and10of themearmed fivestars. The rating system alsohelps parents choose high-qual-ity care and education for theirchildren and recognizes andsupportsprograms thatprovidehigher levels of quality.

Barb Hill, the building ad-

ministrator who oversees thedistrict’s preschool programs,says the Northwest school dis-trict’s emphasis on early child-hood coupled with great staffand a strong curriculum helpedland the highest rating for herprogram.

She did a lot of informationgathering for assessors, begin-ning last fall to amass the infor-mation that the program want-ed. Page by page, the bindersfilledwithinformation,all theIsdotted andTs crossed, she says.

“They want to know ‘is therea plan?’ and ‘is it being fol-lowed?’They lookat everything– even the screenings, done forsocial development, emotionaldevelopment, gross and finemotor skills, as well as height,weight, vision, and hearing.

Vince said his wifeloved to help their chil-dren with their schoolwork and projects, andthey gave their kids astrong work ethic.

“We are all hard work-ers,” he said. “Pat woulddrill the kids, help themstudy on the couch. Theywould all say ‘I got to go tothe couch.’Whether it was

learning their alphabet orstudying, they’d go to thecouch.”

He said his daughterJessica, a graduate ofMcAuley High School andOhio State University, hadrecently been acceptedinto the Christ College ofNursing and Health Sci-ences after several yearsin business.

“She said she didn’twant to work at a comput-er screen all day,” Vincesaid. “She was just begin-ning her schooling. Shewas a very motivated anddetermined person. She

was a very hard worker;all of our kids are.”

VincesaidJessicahadavery close relationshipwith her mom. She en-joyed hiking and outdooractivities, theweather andthe beach in California.Andher faithwasvery im-portant to her.

so friends and others canshare memories of Patri-cia and Jessica.

Faith is important tothe entire family, andVincesaid that’swhat theyare relying on now to getthrough some very diffi-cult days.

“They were both lov-ing, giving people whotried todo the right things,didn’t take short cuts, andput others before them-selves,” Vince said. “Thisis a great tragedy for us.Our family will never bethe same without them.We are going to have to bestrong and carve outsomething new as we goon.”

TwoMcAuleyteachers,GregNiehaus, social studies, and Ra-chel Kless, Latin, led a tourcalled“Istanbul toAthens”overthe summer.

This trip enhanced the richcurriculum and challengingcourses taken atMcAuleyHighSchool and made such wonder-ful memories and impressionson theyoungwomen.Onthe tripwith the two teachers were: onefuture McAuley student, fivecurrent students, three alum-nae and10 other adults.

Theybegan the journeyJune8, flying overnight to Turkeyand arriving in Istanbul, theworld’s only city that spans twocontinents. Staying in Turkey,theywent to Troy, Dikili, Perga-mon and Ephesus. Next was acruise to Greece, where theyvisited Crete, Santorini, Delphi,Patras and Athens.

Notstoppingthere, thegrouptraveled to Italy, touring Pom-peii,Rome,VaticanCity, theSis-tine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica,the Colosseum and the RomanForum.Thestudentsandadults,after immersing themselves inthree different countries,learned and experienced somuch about the countries’ cul-tures, ancient history, world

languages and religious faiths.Senior Morgan Hennard

summed up the adventure:“During this past summer I

wentonanEFtourwithMr.Nie-haus and Mrs. Kless to Turkey,Greece and Italy. It was a two-week trip and it was one of themost amazing experiences ofmy life. I was able to immersemyself in a culture I had onlyheard and read about but hadneveractually seen.When Iwasin Turkey, I went to manymosques and saw beautiful ar-chitecture and met many lov-ing, hospitable people. Iwas im-pressed by how open and re-spectful the Turkish people areto others’ backgrounds and cul-tures. Greece was absolutelystunning.Wegot to visit variousGreek islands and even partici-pated inaGreeknight,which in-cludeddancingandsinging.Ourcruise ship was magnificent,and I met a lot of amazing peo-ple. The last stop of our tripwasItaly, and,eventhoughwedidn’tget to stay therevery long, I hada wonderful time nonetheless.Gelato is now my new favoriteice creamand every time I hearthe song ‘Pompeii, I relivewalk-ingthroughthestreetsandlook-ing atMt.

COLERAIN TWP. —Northwest High School’svolleyball program madehistory this season andcredits a legendaryKnight - college basket-ball coaching legend Bob-byKnight - formuchof itssuccess.

The Knights won theschool’s first conferencetitle since 1991. Theirmantra all year was aquote attributed to CoachKnight: “Most have thewill to win, few have thewill to prepare to win.”

Knight’s inspirationcarried the Knights to a18-1 regular season andtheir first Southwest OhioConference title. Theteam’s seven seniors be-lieved in the motto andtheir effort set the tonefor their teammates.

“The seniors reallybought into that,” saidhead coach Lindsey Long.“They really absorbed thesense of team and em-

braced our long-termgoals.”

It took long just sixyears to completely turnaround the program sheinherited in 2009 that wascoming off of a 1-17 sea-son. The Knights posted awinning mark in her firstseason, then lost severalclose matches over thecourse of five straightsub-.500 seasons. Thisyear was a culmination ofprogram’s transforma-tion and the players’ work

ethic.“We’re changing the

mentality at NorthwestHigh School,” said Long.“It was a pretty neat feel-ing to see all of their hardwork pay off.”

Sophomore FatimahShabazz notched 294 kills,tops in the SWOC. TheSWOC Player of theYear’s .469 kill percent-age ranks among the topten in the state. Her team-mate, freshman DanielleMahaffey, ranked second

in theconferencewith258kills. The youngsters ledthe offense, but the de-fensewas keyed by veter-ans. Seniors Susan Free-man, a UC Clermont com-mit, and Karley Groeneled thedefense. Four-yearstarter and three-time all-conference honoree Syd-neyWilzbach, a Mount St.Joseph commit, made ev-erything tick from hersetter position.

“Their defense reallygave us the opportunity to

do what we did on of-fense,” said Long of Free-man andGroene. “Sydneyreally ran the offense.”

Before the season be-gan, the Knights had agood feeling about thisyear. They invited the1991 and 1988 teams, theprogram’s last confer-encechampions, toberec-ognized and speak to theteam prior to its Oct. 2match with Little Miami.Despite finishing fifth intheSWOCeachof thepasttwo seasons, the Knightsknew they could turnthings around in 2014.Road wins at perennialleague powers Harrison,Talawanda, and Ross putthe rest of the league onnotice.

“We knew that we hadthe pieces of the puzzlecoming back,” said Long.“We just needed to put itall together this year.”

Thewin at Harrison onOct. 7 clinched a share ofthe league title. TheKnights clinched the out-right crown in the regular

season finale at Mt.Healthy on Oct. 9.Throughout the season,Northwest changed per-ceptions with its confi-dence.

“They neverwalked onthecourtandplayednot tolose,” said Long. “They al-ways came out preparedtowin.To see themdo thatnight in and night out wassatisfying.”

The season ended witha first-round sectionaltournament loss toChami-nade-Julienne Oct. 13.Graduating seven sen-iors, including threestart-ers, will be a challenge.With the talent returningand the culture shift com-plete, the Knights knowthat they have what ittakes to reload in 2015.

“It is really hard to putinto words. It was a spe-cial season,” said Long.“Thiswas a special group.They’re going to be hardto replace. We need tokeep the younger playersinvolved with the samementality and focus.”

The Northwest volleyball team celebrates on the night the girls won the Southwest OhioConference title, the first league title since 1991.

COLLEGE HILL — Leaguechampionships are always a bigdeal. They’re an even biggerdeal when there’s a 16-year gapin between titles.

McAuley High School’s lastGirls Greater Catholic Leaguesoccer title came in 1998, untilthisyear.TheMohawksclaimedthe title outright this season.

McAuley finished the regu-lar season 8-4-3 overall (5-1-0 inGGCL). The Mohawks, who fin-ished the regular season rankedNo. 7 in The Enquirer Division Iarea coaches’ poll, beat MountNotreDameOct.1,1-0, thenbeatMercy to win the league.

“We have nine seniors, sevenof them start every game,” saidfirst-year head coach KristenWanstrath, who added that hav-ing nine girls in the same classhelps make the job easier.

One of those seniors, SamDuwel, took over the pregamespeech duties before the MNDgame.

“I’m not the best at peptalks,” Wanstrath said.

Duwel’s speech worked.“Theywentout andplayed flaw-lessly,” said Wanstrath. “Wehave discussed that she will bedoing the pregame speechesfrom here on out.”

Duwel’s just one of the Mo-hawks who has stepped us thisseason. Last year, Wanstrath

didn’t thinkDuwel hada record-able stat, and this year she ledthe conference in assists (10).

The go-to player for McAu-ley is senior Lauren Roll, who’sup for GGCL player of the yearafter leading the conference intotal points (28) and goals (13).

“Everyone has to plan forher,” Wanstrath said. “We justtry to findherand letherscore.”

SeniorkeeperMorganBaileyis reliable. She led the GGCL insaves. Junior Sydney Hamiltonhelps with the scoring duties,she had seven goals in the reg-ular season.

Evenwith the regular seasonsuccess, there will always bedoubters.

“Everybody underestimatesyou, thinks you’re lucky,” Wan-strath told her team. “The mes-sage has been prove everybodywrong, you deserve the re-spect.”

TheMohawkshaveadoptedamotto, “Clear eyes, full hearts,can’t lose” from the hit highschool football show “FridayNight Lights.”

COLERAIN TWP. — The simi-laritiesbetweenbeing thequar-terbackatColerainHighSchooland an air traffic controller arereal. Cardinals coach Tom Bol-den agreed.

At Colerain, the option quar-terback comes nose-to-nosewith numerous decisions in amatter of seconds.

“Ninety percent of what wedoisundercenter,”Boldensaid.“The reads all comewithin fouryards, three reads in a split sec-ond.”

Atthecontrolsthisyearisju-nior quarterback DeshaunteJones.

Jones’ first-ever start atquarterback was week oneagainst La Salle, a 40-21 loss.Colerain dropped its next twogames, 31-12 at St. Xavier, and36-27athomeagainstLouisvilleTrinity.

The 0-3 storm subsided, theCardinals have won fourstraight, and a junior quarter-back seemingly has found hisstride.

“I’m way more comfortable(at quarterback) now,” Jonessaid. “In the first game I was alittleshaky,butI’vecontinuedtoget better and I’m building myconfidencemore andmore.”

Anoptionquarterback’sbestfriend is time. It’s just whatJones needed.

Throughhisfirstfivegames,Jones tallied seven touchdownsagainst 12 turnovers. In his lasttwo games (weeks six and sev-en), Jones has progressed, ac-counting for11touchdowns andjust one turnover.

Inweeks six and seven com-bined, Jones rushed for 297yards and has thrown for 224yards. “It’s interesting; when Iseehimat lunchand in school, Idon’t really talk to him aboutfootball. I don’t want it hangingover his head 24/7. Being thequarterback at Colerain isenough with the pressure thatcomeswith it,” Bolden said.

Winning helps. It alwaysdoes.Boldensaidduring thebe-

ginning of the season his con-versations with Deshauntewereaboutfootworkandfunda-mentals. Now, dialogue hasturned to conversations aboutschemes and seeing thingspresnap.“It’sdifferentknowingyou control the offense; you’retheleaderoutthere.Youhavetostepup,knowwhatyou’redoingand what everyone else is do-ing,” Jones said.

A lot has been different atColerain this year. The adversi-tyhasn’t necessarily beenabadthing. Bolden and theCardinalsaren’t ones to shy away from achallenge. “Starting 0-3, we’vebeen in playoff mode sinceweek four,” Bolden said. “It’s agrind as a coach. Heck, that’swhyyoudo it.”

SHORT HOPS


MELANIE LAUGHMAN/COMMUNITY PRESS

Mt. Healthy High School girls varsity soccer team headed intoits final game of the season Oct. 18 against Indian Hill with a2-14 record, with wins over Withrow and North College Hill.Here, they’re preparing to play Northwest, a game in whichthey lost 4-0 Oct. 15.

ST. BERNARD — Thethings worth doing aren’tsupposedtobeeasy.But, ifyou see it through, youmight just learn some-thing - or, better yet, ac-complish what you set outto do.

The Roger Bacon HighSchool girls’ soccer teamhasn’t had a winning sea-son in eight years. Threeyears ago, when the cur-rent seniors were fresh-men, they didn’t win agame (0-16-1).

This year, the Spartansare 7-6-2, and they’re onewin away from a guaran-teedwinning season.

Roger Bacon playedWilliamsburg Saturday,Oct. 18, after deadline in aDivisionIIIsectionalpost-season game. The Spar-tans,whoendedupNo.8 inThe Enquirer Division IIIarea coaches’ final poll,are focused – they wantthat winning season.

Sixth-year Roger Ba-concoachTomEckartwas

clear before the game:“We want to stay focusedon Williamsburg, andmake sure we get the jobdone.”

MuchofEckart’srostercarried over from 2013,and, in 2014, they’re be-lieving in each other.

“We spent a lot of timein the darkness, havingsome rough seasons,”

Eckart said. “Girls startedto believe in themselvesandthat theycanbeatpeo-ple.”

Finding their way backto the light has taken timeandpatience. It’s requiredperseverance.

According to Eckart,that winless season threeyears ago has been inspi-rational for many of theyoungergirls, seeinghardwork and dedication pay

off over a period of time.One of those young

girls is freshman KayleeSunders, who, herself, in-spires throughherperfor-mance and how she car-ries herself in practiceand in games.

“She’s a quiet leader.She leads by example,”said Eckart of Sunders.“She can pick up the paceof the game and bring ev-

eryone else along withher.”

Sunders led the Great-er Catholic League Co-Edin total points (28) and tiedwith two others for goals(10).

One of the seniors whostuck with it is Becca De-Burger, a central defend-er. She organizes the de-fense and “keeps every-oneincheckintheback(of

thedefense),”saidEckart.The combination of a

roster and the belief theycan win has been the dif-ference for the Spartans.In each of the last two sea-sons, Roger Bacon haswon itsopeningroundsec-tional postseason game.They’d like to accomplishthat again, and be morecompetitive chasingdowna sectional title.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Nerves are there for areason - perhaps indicat-ing something’s off orthat you’re right whereyou should be.

St. Xavier’s golf teamis nervous; they’re finewith that. In fact, nervesarewelcome and expect-ed when you’re set tobattle against 11 of thestate’s best teams on oneof the state’s toughercourses.

“I get nervous everytime I play,” St. X juniorKirran Magowan said.Rightfully so, anyonewho’s ever swung or hit agolf ball knows thetoughness of that task.

Magowan said he cancalm himself down byplaying a song in hishead.

“Nervousness comesfrom thinking too farahead,” said Magowan,who works on staying inthe moment.

The stage doesn’t getmuch tougher for teen-agers. Ohio State Uni-versity’s Scarlet courseis not easy. Magowansaid it’s challenging.

“We play a lot of dif-ferent, challengingcourses,”Magowan said.“Scarlet’s a toughcourse; it’s gonna testevery part of your game.We have to do whatworks for us, focus onour game.”

Fifth-year St. X coachAlex Kepley said Scarletis one of the most diffi-cult courses the Bomb-ers play all year.

“I liken it to playing inthe U.S. Open – you’renot going to have thesame type of score youhave week in and weekout,” said Kepley.

The Bombers areyoung. They’ll havethree juniors, a sopho-more and a freshman atstate – the same lineupthey had when they wontheir second-straightdistrict championshipOct. 9.

The juniors areMago-wan, Domenic Maricoc-chi, Paul Maricocchi,sophomore Joey McCar-thy and freshman Cam-eron Frazier.

“The boys have doneverywell for the relativelack of experience,” Ke-pley said. “Being youngis not necessarily a dis-advantage – they’re allvery teachable, motivat-ed and excited.”

The three juniors leadby committee, said Ke-pley. The Bombers arefortunate to always havea large team that can de-pend on one another.

St. Xavier’s last stategolf titlewas in 2008, andthey’re hoping they canhold that trophy againthis year.

“They will be andshould be nervous at thestart of the tournament,”Kepley said. “Then,they’ll realize this is justanother day of golf.”

SoIdecided to lookupour lasttrustee meeting to see if I couldfind out anything. Much to mydispleasure I saw Mr. Deterstalking about a group opposingthe tax.Hebelieves it isRumpkeand said it was a “cowardly act.”Mr. Deters, might I suggest youknowthemeaningofaphrasebe-fore you use it.

Cowardlyact–Afraidinawaythatmakesyouunable todowhatisrightorexpected:lackingcour-age.

Courage – The ability to dosomething that frightens one.

Now if indeed Rumpke wastrying to frighten the residentsinto voting against your stupidtax bill, I believe he would havecourage not lack it.

Bill Rumpke has more cour-age and more important integri-ty in his little finger than youhave in your body. He is a goodneighbor. Many of us are proudto call him our neighbor. You ap-pear to disagree, yet when itcomes to money, you would liketo have his employees help youout and pay taxes.

I would hope that everyonewho is against this tax gets out tovote, andyes ifyouarefor it thenyoutooshouldgetout tovote.Mr.Deters believes Colerain voterswill do what is right. I stronglydisagree that the voters alwaysdowhat is right, after all,Mr.De-ters, you were elected. Goes toshow, even the fine residents ofColerain Township canmess up.

Money is already therefor services

Facts are stubborn things is afamous witticism attributed toour second president, John Ad-ams.

The one glaring fact absentfrom the quasi-public discus-sionsregarding thepropermeth-od of funding police, fire andEMSservices inGreenTownshipis that there is enough money topay for the current levels of ser-vice without considering anycuts.

According to none other thanthe Hamilton County AuditorDustyRhodes, if two of the threecurrent Green Township trust-ees would pass a resolution topermanently cancel the TIF pro-gram (initiated in 1996 by Trus-tee Upton and others), the town-ship would receive in excess of$3million dollars annually.

Unsurprisingly, these fundsare funds that are directly di-verted from their original in-tendedpurposeofsupportingthesame police, fire and EMS ser-vices.

One need only contact theHamiltonCountyAuditorsofficeone of whose primary functionsis to verify that funds receivedfrom voted property taxes aredistributedaccordingtothereso-lutions that arepassedby theRe-publican cadre of officials herein Green Township.

Taxpayers have a right to in-sist that their voted levies beused in the manner for whichthey were placed on the ballotand not for unrealistic develop-ment schemes andwasteful landpurchases that benefit their sup-porters. The abundance of TIFfunds has proved to be too big atemptation for the free-spendingRepublican controlled Board ofTrustees.

The facts are clear: theGreenTownship trustees can clear theair on this issue before the elec-

tionwhen, if approvedbyvoters,the proposed 2.95 additionalmills will raise our property tax-es to all time highs.

The trustees can also vote atthe last meeting in October by asimple two-vote majority (againaccording to Hamilton CountyAuditor Dusty Rhodes) beforethe November election and can-cel the 1996 TIF program andthus properly fund the police,fireandEMSserviceswithexist-ing funds and no tax increase.That would truly be a win for allconcerned.

All township taxpayers needis two honest trustees to do do.

Maintain strong publicservices

On Nov. 4, Green TownshipVoters will be voting on a 2.95-mill police, fire & EMS levy tofundourpublic safety services. Iam writing to ask all GreenTownship residents to join me invoting “yes” on Issue 31 tomain-tainstrongpublicsafetyservicesin our township.

In recent years, townships allover Ohio have been devastatedby revenue cutbacks from thestate. Green Township has lost$3.8 million per year in revenue,andthelossofthesefundsthreat-ensourpolice,fire,andemergen-cy medical staffing levels. Thepassage of Issue 31will partiallyreplace this lost revenue and al-low proper numbers of police of-ficers and firefighter/paramed-ics to be on duty 24/7.

MyfamilyhashadtocalluponGreen Township’s emergencymedical services many times inrecent years, and the quick re-sponse times and quality carethey provided to us have beenoutstanding. It is comforting toknow our police, fire and EMSservices are always there for us.

Please vote “Yes” on Issue 31.Colleen Osterman

Green Township

I support Issue 31As a Green Township trustee

for almost three years and amember of the Green TownshipAudit Committee for the pastfive years, I am keenly aware ofhow the department heads andtrustees cut costs and leveragedgrants to minimize the town-ship’s operating budgets….yetmaintained quality service forour residents.

Because of major revenuecuts from the State of Ohio,Green Township is losing over$3.8 million per year in revenue.These state-imposed annual cutscannot bemadeupby further ef-ficiencies or cost containments.

Green Township is a commu-nity on themove.Weare steadilyimproving our roads, parks andneighborhood business districts.In order to continue our pro-gress, we must maintain highquality police, fire and EMS ser-vices.

Asyour trustee, I amcommit-ted to the long term improve-ment of our total community.Good schools, good churches,good businesses, good residen-tial neighborhoods and goodsafety services are essential in-gredients of a vibrant communi-ty.

OnNov. 4, I askyou tovote forIssue No. 31 to support police,fire andEMSservices. This 2.95-mill levy will provide stability tothe township’s safety servicesand allowus to pursue other longterm funding options.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, voterswithin Colerain Township willbe faced with a critical deci-sion to vote “For” or “Against”Issue 30, the Resolution andContract establishing a JointEconomic Development Zone(JEDZ) along Colerain Avenue.

A JEDZ essentially allowsan unincorporated townshiplike Colerain to partner with anearby city to impose andcollect an earnings tax onemployees whowork at busi-nesses within the boundariesof the JEDZ. It provides aninnovative way to fund publicinfrastructure such as streets,curbs, gutters, sidewalks, etc.throughout the township allow-ing for the creation of econom-ic development and stableproperty values.

Unlike othermunicipalincome taxes, our JEDZ pro-tects the residents and busi-nesses of Colerain from anadditional tax burden. TheColerain Community Improve-ment Corporation will providegrants back to the residentsand businesses impacted bythe JEDZ in the form of acheck equal to the amount oftax paid into the zone. This is abenefit that municipal incometax issues don’t provide totheir residents and businesses.

The Colerain Corridor is

made up ofhundreds ofretail busi-nesses simi-lar to othermunicipal-ities withinthe state ofOhio. Similartomunicipalincome taxes,our JEDZwill allow for

reciprocity for non-residentworkers that pay income tax totheir resident communities. Inmany cases, the non-residentwon’t see an increase in taxes;rather the funding that wouldhave gone to another commu-nity will now come to Colerain.

I’m sure there will be somewho are opposed to the JEDZ,saying it is an “unfair tax”even though the impact on ourresidents and businesses isminimal. For those opposed, Iwould like to ask, if not aJEDZ, then what?

» Road levy (increasesproperty taxes on residentsand businesses);

» Park levy (increasesproperty taxes on residentsand businesses);

» Close parks (option if theJEDZ is not successful);

» Close the senior/commu-nity center (option if the JEDZ

is not successful);» Do nothing (Not an op-

tion. Public infrastructurecontinues to deteriorate result-ing in lower property values);

» Settle with Rumpke(Many have suggested thiswould solve our financial prob-lemswhile others are sternlyagainst it).

The last road levy failed in2001eliminating $1million ayear in road improvements.Further, the loss of more than$1.5 million in state fundinghas eliminated all funds previ-ously used to resurface streetswithin the township. Coleraindoesn’t have an alternativeway to fund our public infra-structure program outside thisJEDZwithout raising propertytaxes or cutting valuable ser-vices to our parks and senior/community center. On theother hand, our roadmap tofinancial sustainability andcontinued focus on economicdevelopment and neighbor-hood revitalization can beachieved with the passage ofIssue 30. Recent changes inOhio lawwill eliminate a town-ship’s ability to form a JEDZafter Dec. 31. Please supportIssue 30 on Election Day.

Jim Rowan is the administratorof Colerain Township.

Rowan: JEDZ is right choice

JimRowanCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

1. Unfair tax - The onlypeople whowill pay the taxwill be non-residents who haveno vote on this issue.

2. JEDZ illegal after Dec. 31- Both political parties and boththe Ohio Senate and the OhioHouse of Representativesvoted to end this unfair tax.

3. High administrative cost -“The Finance Administratorshall annually place 2 percentof the gross income tax into anEscrow Fund. DistributableRevenue shall be annual grossincome tax revenue, minus thesum of 2 percent service feeand 2 percent annual escrowfee and the lesser of $7,500 or1percent of annual gross in-come tax revenue. At leastquarterly revenue from theprior quarter shall be paid tothe contracting parties - 8.5percent to the City of Harrisonand 91.5 percent to Colerain.Harrison gets off the top aservice fee of 2 percent ortheir cost, whichever is great-er.” (From the Contract).

4. Colerain residents whowork in the zone will have thetax withheld from every pay-check. - It will take a yearbefore a refund or grant isissued.

5. It is a hindrance for fu-ture businesses and employersto settle in the JEDZ zone.

6. Employ-ers in theJEDZwillhave to file:

a) Quarter-ly withhold-ing report

b) Remitthe tax to thecity of Harri-son

c) Preparean annual

return of net revenued) Pay the tax on the net

revenuee) Prepare a grant form to

obtain the funds back.This is absolutely a waste of

time andmoney for businessesin the zone.

7. the JEDZ zonewill targetlow incomeworkers who needthemoney to live.

8. Colerain township needsat least $75million to repair allthe township streets. This taxwill only be a drop in the buck-et - notmuchwill be accom-plished since half must bespent in the zone and half ontownship streets.

9. A government tax planmust

a) Be government-efficientb) Be taxpayer-efficientc) Avoid government wasted) The Taxpayer needs to be

relevant to the Taxes paid

e) The taxpayermust un-derstand and be appreciativeof the benefit of the taxes theyare asked to pay.

f) This JEDZTax is neithergovernment-efficient nor tax-payer-efficient

10. Plan lacks specifics.Exactly howwill thismoney bespent?We need a list of streetsto be repaired, whenwill theybe repaired, the order of thestreets to be repaired.We needto know the cost of each sub-project.

The real problem is thatfour years ago, the state bud-get was unbalanced by $8billion dollars. It was balancedfour years ago by reducing theLocal Government Fund byhalf; the estate tax was elim-inated of which 80 percentwent to the local governmentin which the person residedwhen the death occurred.

The only solution is to havestate elected officials who careabout local government.

This is truly not govern-ment efficient and certainlynot taxpayer efficient.

Vote no on Issue 30.Thomas J. Hart is a member ofthe Colerain Citizens AgainstUnfair Taxes and is a businessowner in the proposed JEDZ

If you were an employer whohad to hire an experienced,hardworking, qualified individ-ual as the next Hamilton CountyProbate Court Judge, howwould youmake an informeddecision?

The truth is that every regis-tered voter is the employer ofevery elected official. You de-cide who to hire. Please consid-er hiringme as the next Hamil-ton County Probate CourtJudge.

For the past 15 years I havebeen a sitting judge in HamiltonCounty, presidingmore than33,000 cases. Prior to becominga judge, I was an assistant pros-ecuting attorney and a probatelawyer for 11 years. The experi-ence and knowledge that I havegained in my 31-plus years inthe courtroom are invaluableand will help me to serve theresidents of our community

with respectand fair consid-eration for all.

Along withmy fellowjudges, I havealso madetough budgetcuts to help thecounty throughdifficult fi-nancial times.Because judi-

cial education is vital, I chose tofurther my education by receiv-ing a Diploma of Judicial Skillsfrom the American Academy ofJudicial Education.

If you choose to hire me asthe next Hamilton County Pro-bate Judge, I will work dili-gently to help those who cannothelp themselves. I will look outfor the interests of the elderlywho need the care of a guard-ian, reviewing every guard-

ianship in the county to ensureproper care. I will do all in mypower to speed up the adoptionprocess to place children inloving caring homes soonerthan later. I will help the fam-ilies of those struggling withthe difficulties of mental illnessand chemical dependency byordering the proper treatmentfor their loved ones, restoringtheir lives.

As the voters of HamiltonCounty, you have a choice. Youcan choose the judge describedabove or you can choose a for-mer news anchor and lobbyist,who has almost no courtroomexperience and zero judicialexperience. I hope you chooseto hire me and I am asking foryour vote Nov. 4 for HamiltonCounty Probate Court Judge.

Judge Ralph Winkler is a lifelongresident of Hamilton County.

Best probate court candidate? You be the judge

Judge RalphWinklerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

If you are likeme, you be-lieve that there is much at stakefor future generations in thiscountry.

As a loving husband andfather of a 2-year-old son, Pres-ton, I want nothingmore thanformy son to have the sameopportunities for success that Idid growing up. Inmany re-spects, his future achievementin life is predicated on receivinga quality education. I am run-ning tomake sure that our chil-dren and grandchildren, and allof approximately 1.6 millionboys and girls in Ohio, receivethe quality education that theytruly deserve. After speakingwith parents and teachers, Idevelopedmy Three A’s forBetters Schools Plan:

Advocacy – I support the fullrepeal of Common Core. When itcomes to education, a federal-ized top-down, one size fits allapproach simply will not work. Iam not opposed to standards,but I believe that Ohioans knowwhat’s best for Ohio’s class-rooms, not some bureaucrat inWashington. If elected, I plan tousemy private sector experi-ence to build a coalition of par-ents, teachers, and communityleaders to ensure standards arein place that best meets the

needs of stu-dents in theirdistricts.

I also am astrong advocatefor parochialschools, charterschools and aparent’s right tohomeschool.Education is tooimportant toonly be given

one choice. I will do everything Ican to help improve andstrengthen our traditional publicschools, but I also believe thathealthy competition improvesthe quality of education forevery child.

Accountability - Above all,Ohio’s schools and teachersmust be held accountable to thecommunities, parents, and thestudents they serve. I want toencourage our best teachers sothey don’t end up leaving theprofession, and at the sametime, we know that there aresome educators who are failingour students. We have a respon-sibility to our children to holdpoor-performing teachers ac-countable just like wewould inany other line of work. Thisneeds to be done in a fair andconsistent waywith teachers

having input in the process.Achievement - It is unaccept-

able that nearly 40 percent ofhigh school graduates who at-tend college need to take reme-dial classes during their fresh-man year. We have to do a betterjob of preparing our studentsfor higher education. However,a four-year university is notdesirable or affordable for ev-ery student. That is why I wantto expand career technical edu-cation opportunities. Thesecourses enable students to learnfuture work skills that are inhigh-demand by Ohio employ-ers. A youngman or womancould become a skilledmechan-ic, welder, HVAC technician, orweb programmer, while still inhigh school andmeeting theirtraditional academic require-ments. If a student enjoys work-ing with their hands, let’s en-courage that passion and pro-vide opportunities for them tosucceed and one day becometheir own boss.

This race is important forOhio. If elected, I promise thatevery action Imake will put thechildren first.

As a resident who hasspent themajority ofmy lifeinHamilton County, I believewe are blessedwith a wealthof great neighborhoods thatappeal to almost every in-terest.

We have seen excitingdevelopment on The Banks,along the I-71corridor andGreen Township just to namea few.Many of these commu-nities are experiencing newdevelopment, attracting newresidents and adding jobs.Wehavemany unique neigh-borhoods throughout Hamil-ton County that offer greatamenities, with reasonablehousing, shorter commutesand amodest cost of livingcompared to other parts ofthe country.

We don’t hear enough goodnews about Hamilton County,but we actually had an in-crease in population over thepast couple years, the largestof any of our surroundingcounties. Alongwith a netincrease in jobs, I am veryoptimistic that this trendwillcontinue.

As our na-tion’s economyimproves,HamiltonCounty is wellpositioned toprosper, ifgovernmentlistens to itsresidents andbusiness own-ers. One keypriority ofmine is reduc-ing govern-

ment red tape and regulation,so people with new ideas cansucceed. People starting theircareers and businesses willdrive our economy, so yourvision and voice is critical aswemoveHamilton Countyforward in the years to come.

ChrisMonzelCOMMUNITYPRESS GUESTCOLUMNIST

As a taxpayer and voter, whatdo I want frommy elected offi-cials?

The answer is “commonsense.” That doesn’t seem toomuch to ask. Too often we aredisappointed by those we elect.In contrast, I have tried to liveup to the trust Hamilton Countyvoters have repeatedly placed inme.

Immediately on taking officeI stopped the long-standing prac-tice of deducting political contri-butions from employee paychecks.Most other county of-fices followedmy lead about ayear later.

After that, my first task wasto restore confidence in proper-ty valuations. I did that by re-moving political considerationsfrom setting values, by settingtraining and certification goalsfor our appraisal staff and byholding neighborhood confer-ences across the county duringthe six-year reappraisals soproperty owners could reviewtheir tentative new values.

Then I established our Fi-nance Department as an honest,independent check and balanceon every county department forwhich wemake payments. Bywriting the county’s checks wecan spot questionable vouchers.Andwe did. In one instance our

refusal to payfor a reported650-mile roundtrip to Cleve-land (which isabout 250miles fromhere) broughtsignificant,lastingchanges incounty travelpolicies.

Ours was one of the firstmetropolitan areas in the coun-try to have a property searchwebsite. Bymaking public rec-ords available we have reducedthe opportunity for corruptionand saved countless trips to ouroffice by professionals who needand use our information everyday. Thewebsite allows us tocommunicate with citizens andeven provides estimates of indi-vidual costs of proposed taxlevies. Our ITDepartment is oneof the best in the region, con-stantly updating our service andoften called to assist other coun-ty offices.

Butmost important tome inkeeping faith with the voterswasmy promise to operate theAuditor’s office in a professional,business-like way. I did that byreducing our staff from174employees when I took office to

79 today. This was accomplishedthrough attrition and cross-training over the years. By plan-ning aheadwewere able toavoid cutbacks and layoffs whenthe economy tanked in 2008.

My commitment to respect-ing taxpayer’s moneymademethe first Hamilton County Audi-tor to return unspent funds tolocal communities, school dis-tricts and taxing entities. TheReal Estate Appraisal Fundcomes from a small portion ofevery tax levy. I could havelegally spent every penny. Ididn’t. Two years ago I returnedover $16million, a recordamount.

Finally, I have established aculture of citizen service in theAuditor’s office. One observerrecently said wewere “the goldstandard of transparency amonglocal government offices.” Thebest way to explain it is that Ibelieve no one “works forme” inour office. We all work togetherfor you. I have been honored byyour support over the years andask for your vote again this year.I look forward to the challengesahead and tomeeting themwith“common sense.”

Dusty Rhodes is running for re-election as Hamilton County auditor.

My approach is common sense

DustyRhodesCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

My name is Tammy Si-mendinger, candidate forOhio House of Representa-tives for the 29th District.

Every day as I manage2,900 volunteers, I listen andensure that they have thenecessary tools to help ourcommunities. Our repre-sentatives in Columbusshould be listening to thebusinesses and the people inour communities to ensurethat our governments havethe resources to help ourcommunities.

The tax dollars we payfor our services have beenkept by the state, forcingour communities’ to reduceservices, cut workers, pushlevies, reduce costs andspend 60 percent to 90 per-cent of their rainy day fundsto make up for those short-falls

My opponent and thegovernor are claiming thatOhio has become a nationalleader in job creation.

There are fewer Ohioansin our workforce today thanat the beginning of the year.Ohio has lagged behind thenational average for jobcreation. Ohio lost morethan 20,000 jobs this sum-mer. Ohio is the nation’s lowpoint for private-sector jobcreation.

We’re not getting the taxcuts they promised; it’s moretaxes, in a different form.

» They loudly cut $1.2million to the income tax,but they quietly increasedthe state sales tax by $3million.

» They repealed the fran-chise tax, a highly pro-claimed cut of $180 million,but they quietly added a$200 million tax on banksand investment firms.

» They raised the tax ondoing business in Ohio by$25 million, which was aquiet replacement for thebusiness and property tax.

The bureaucrats in Co-lumbus have raised taxes by$702 million since last year.Their tax hikes do not makeOhio the business friendlystate that they claim.

Ohio’sschools havelost $63 mil-lion fromdecreasedlottery reve-nue, and $611million fromtangiblepersonalpropertycuts. In the29th Dis-

trict, our schools lost over$13 million in state funding.

They talk about “jobs,”but they clearly don’t un-derstand that education isthe essential foundation ofmaking Ohio a place wherepeople will want to live andraise their families. I believethat private industry createsjobs, not government, and Ibelieve that a better educat-ed workforce attracts in-novative businesses thatcreate better paying jobs.

My priorities are:»Work to restore all

funding from the Local Gov-ernment Fund back to ourcommunities - loweringdependency on local taxes.

» Be a catalyst tostrengthen our schools andsupport our teachers.

» Push to find a resolutionfor the unconstitutionalfunding of our schools.

»Work collaborativelywith all parties to find com-mon sense solutions; Form atask force to tackle the drugepidemic.

My opponent has cutschool funding, raised ourlocal taxes and is unfamiliarwith the issues that facecommunities outside of Col-erain. He says he is a num-bers person. I am a peopleperson and his numbers arehurting our people. I am thecandidate who has real lifeexperience and will fight forour families, our businessesand our communities.

OCTOBER 22, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE

Well, it’s done. Theentire veggie garden isnow nothing but a flatfield, ready to be plowedunder for the winter.

Pump-kins andgourdshavereplacedthe potsof herbsand flow-ers nearthe door-ways.Just forfun, I put

a little pumpkin displayby the chicken coop. Itwill be interesting to seehow long it’s undisturbedby the nightly four-footedmarauders.

I’m hoping to get to ourlocal farmers’ market thisweek tomake this well-tested recipe for applebutter. What I love aboutthis apple butter is itspurity, just apples, juice,sugar if you like, andwarming spices. But thereis a secret ingredient…

Crockpotapple butter

Wow, this recipe hasbeenmaking the roundslately. My oldest and bestfriend, Carol Spry Vanov-er first toldme about this.Carol received a bunch ofapples from a friend andmade apple butter. Exceptfor her “secret” ingredi-ent, I couldn’t believeCarol’s is the same recipeI used years ago whenwehad an apple orchard.Wonderful for sharingwith family and friends.One other thought: I don’tadd asmuch sugar as itcalls for.

14 nice sized apples2 cups apple juice or

pure apple cider1 cup sugar or however

much you want, for eachpint of sieved cooked fruit(see below)

1 teaspoon cinnamon,1/2 teaspoon each groundallspice and cloves foreach pint of sieved cookedfruit (see below)

1/2 cup “secret” ingre-dient: sweet white wine -Carol usedMoscato (op-tional)

DirectionsCore and quarter apple

(do not peel). Combinewith juice in sprayedcrockpot. Cover and cookon low for 10-12 hours orhigh for 2 - 4 hours. Whenfruit is tender, you’vecooked it long enough. Putthrough foodmill to re-move peel.

Measure cooked fruitand return to crock pot.For each pint of fruit, add

up to 1 cup of sugar orother sweetener, 1 tea-spoon cinnamon, 1/2 tea-spoon allspice and1/2teaspoon cloves. Stir well.Cover and cook again onhigh for 6 - 8 hours, stir-ring about every 2 hours.

Remove cover after 3hours ormore to allow tocook down to a very thickpuree. Addwine duringlast hour of cooking.Spoon into hot sterilizedjars and process accord-ing to boiling water bathcanningmethod or coolcompletely and store infreezer up to 1year or frigup to amonth. Makesclose to 6 cups.

Tip fromRita’s kitchen

Use a combination ofapples if you can, somesweet, some tart. The onlyone I’d steer clear of isred delicious since theflavor doesn’t carrythrough.

Readers want to know:Floating “severed hands”for Halloween punch.

Fill clear plastic gloves(not powdered) with yourfavorite beverage. I likered fruit punch or some-thing clear. If desired,before pouring into glove,stir in a few drops of redfood coloring. Tie glovedhandwith a rubber band,securely tightened. Placeon cookie sheet. If youlike, place over a smallplastic bowl to create a“clutching” hand. Freezeuntil hard. To removefrom glove, cut belowknot and peel back glove.To assure you don’t breakoff fingers, use scissors tocut around fingers. Placein punch before serving.

The UltimateMeatResource: Cook’s Illustrat-edMeat book. No kidding,put this hard cover beautyon your wish list, or graba copy now. This compre-hensive “bible” of meatcookery is just what I’dexpect fromCook’s. You’llfeel like you’re in a cook-ing class with each recipe,they are that detailed andtested umpteen timesuntil the word that de-scribes the recipe is “per-fect”. From slow roastedbone-in pork roast to theperfect roast turkey andeverything in between,nothing is left to chance.There’s also a wealth oftips throughout.
