Dear ol’ dads
At the Feb. 11 council meeting, Evendale Mayor Don Apking warned residents that parking their vehicles on the grass could earn them a ticket. Jack Cameron, assistant to the mayor, said Apking was mainly addressing repeat offenders who continue to be a “nuisance” to other residents. “So in a nutshell, these property owners that don’t respect their fellow property owners enough to keep their exterior in an adequate state of repair and upkeep end up being an eyesore to neighbors and passers by which negatively affect property values,” Cameron said. When a resident violates the zoning code, the building commissioner first notifies the resident of the violation to give them the chance to move the car to a paved surface. Cameron said the majority of the time, the car is moved and the problem is solved, keeping the case out of mayor’s court. Cameron answered a few questions about the zoning code and how they enforce the code.
zoning code is to make all driveways and parking areas be a hard surface from the standpoint of looks and eventual property maintenance. A gravel and/or dirt round can erode easily in rain and now create other problems for neighbors and even flow dirt and debris onto the public road. So the zoning is not necessarily addressing short term, but long term. We have events at (Gorman Farm) and sometimes here that we might use a field to facilitate parking. Biggest concern with parking in an unmarked lot or field is access for an emergency and how the cars are exiting onto the public road. Again, not a big issue for us.”

Glendale council approves fire truck purchase By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
After months of debate and a new round of bidding, Glendale will be adding a fire truck to its volunteer department. Village council’s 4-2 vote has cleared the way for Fire Chief David Moore to buy a new truck to replace the current backup, which he says isn’t even safe for
transport anymore. The vote followed months of discussion and re-evaluation after Aronstein some members of council questioned the need for a second truck as well as the high cost of a custom vehicle. “Council’s approval of a
new fire truck provides the foundation for a viable Glendale Fire Department for the next 10 to 15 years,” said Councilman Ralph Hoop, who voted for the expenditure. “A modern fire apparatus is the main tool that a fire department requires for reliable emergency response and for providing good safety protection for its firefighters,” said Hoop, who chairs
BRIEFLY Langsam discusses Wyoming architecture
On Sunday, March 21, the Wyoming Historical Society will sponsor a presentation by Walter E. Langsam, architectural historian and historic preservation consultant. He will bring to light the veritable museum of architecture constructed in Wyoming in the last century and a half. The program will begin at 2 p.m. at the Wyoming Civic Center, 1 Worthington Ave, at the corner of Springfield Pike. For additional information, please contact Glenn Lewis at 513-821-1361.
Historical Society news
The Society of Historic Sharonville is now in its 21st year. Located at the intersection
of Creek and Main in downtown Sharonville, the Society of Historic Sharonville is also home to a museum containing many interesting exhibits and a railroad diorama. Although admission to the museum is absolutely free, donations are always gladly accepted. The museum is an ideal place for local, regional, state and even national research. With the local branches of the Public Library of Hamilton County and Greater Cincinnati sending much of the geneological research materials back to the main office in downtown Cincinnati, the central location of the SHS offers visitors easy access to materials. The publication of The Sharonville Cookbook in 2007 was a success and copies of the 200-plus recipe book are still available for only $9. Stop
in at the museum for a copy or drop by Nancy’s Hallmark in Sharonville or the Sharonville Recreation Center on Thornview Drive. Plans are under way for an updated history book on the Sharonville environs. New research has revealed that past publications contained inconsistencies with the later findings. The use of computer enhanced imagery has also allowed the SHS to view older photographs and many objects are now visible that once were not. All SHS photographs have been digitally stored and available for copy for a nominal charge. The museum is open every Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. and other hours by appointment. For more information please contact SHS President and Museum curator Darrin Upp, 563-9756, or email sharonvillehistory@fuse.net.
the village’s fire committee. Glendale considered four bids before deciding on a truck with a $391,615 price tag. Of that amount, $49,898 was offset by a private grant, so the village will be responsible for $341,717. Two councilmembers opposed the purchase of a new truck. Councilwoman Jenny Kilgore said she was disappointed that a used vehicle
was not chosen, citing a cost savings. Councilman William Aronstein also questioned the purchase. “In the current economic climate, an expenditure of nearly $400,000 for a second fire truck is imprudent at this time,” Aronstein said. The new fire truck will take the place of a 10-yearold vehicle. That truck will
move into a backup position, replacing a vehicle that was put into service in 1980. Moore said he was grateful for the decision to buy a new, custom fire truck. “This will allow us to maintain a minimum level of fire protection with national standards,” he said. “It will allow us to provide excellent service to the village.”

John Mallory, the Hamilton County coordinator of the trail commission, explained that the 550-mile driving trail will include 10 markers in Hamilton County. The signs in Springdale will be directional signs that lead to those markers. The trail will mark sites of Confederate raids in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Mallory said. The Confederate raiders passed through Springdale in 1863, Mallory told Cou ncil. The state is providing the signs and Springdale will simply erect them. History was also marked with the retirement of a long-time employee of Springdale’s police department. Council passed a resolution commending Martha Jane Zimmerer, who has worked as police clerk for 35 years. “She has been an outstanding city employee,” Mayor Doyle Webster said. “The police department couldn’t perform what they
do with the excellent support of Martha.” Police Chief Michael Laage echoed those sentiments. “When you think about 35 years, it’s really important to say thanks, because 35 years is a long time. “You have to be multifaceted,” Laage said of Zimmerer’s responsibilities at the entry window, on the phone, and across the police radio. “It’s very hard,” he said, “and in Martha’s case, she got it done.” Also during the meeting: • Princeton Schools Superintendent Gary Pack explained the bond levy issue that Springdale voters would see on their May ballot. The administrator asked council, as well as residents, for their support. • Wyoming resident Vicky Zwissler introduced herself to council, explaining that she is seeking the Republican nomination for state representative in Ohio’s 28th House District.

Stewart Elementary program celebrates dads By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Stewart Elementary dads recently had an opportunity to spend extra time with their kids while learning how to become more involved in their children’s academic lives. In a program called Defensive Dads for their Kids, they had a chance to share dinner, play games and learn the importance of being involved in their child’s school life,” Stewart Principal Shauna McDowell said. McDowell and several dads at Stewart put together the program, inspired by a similar one created by Tony
Dungy, former coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Dungy’s program, called All Pro Dads, utilizes NFL players to help dads in their role. His program offers events and information. Stewart Elementary’s program used that as a starting point. “They get together and talk about how to be an active dad in their child’s academic life,” McDowell said. Students were invited to bring their dads or another important male role model. “I told all moms they have to stay away,” McDowell said. “I wanted to celebrate dads.” The evening that brought

Glendale police armed with recording devices By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Glendale police officers are patrolling the village armed with one more piece of equipment. The police department recently bought five miniature cameras that officers clip to their clothing so they can record exchanges on their beats. The MUVI Pro mini cameras have a 72-degree viewing angle, which allows close- and long-range recording. The cameras, which cost $150 each, “were bought not only for investigative purposes, but also to enhance officer safety in documenting exact activity occurring during all types of incidents,” according to a report from Lt. Dave LeCompte. During village council’s March meeting, the public officials paid tribute to a former councilman. Mayor Joseph Hubbard read a resolution honoring Alan Hoeweler, who had served on council for seven years. Hoeweler was thanked for his
years of service on various committees as well, including recreation, parks, fire, finance and utilities. Also during the meeting: • Glendale resident Chris Curtis presented the Glendale Youth Sports annual report. Curtis said there was an increase in expenditures due to more referee and umpire fees, as well as an increase in gym rentals and new league fees. “We had a number of teams of older children who had to pay new league fees,” Curtis said. “But that speaks to the increased levels of participation.” Curtis also explained the village’s scholarship program “for those who would not be able to participate otherwise.” “This is one of the unique things that GYS offers,” Curtis said. “When a guardian or parent requests a scholarship to participate, we give it to them.” In 2009, 43 scholarships were issued, he said. As that number continues to increase, Glendale Youth Sports incurs additional expenses, he said, since the organization is funded
by private donations outside of an annual stipend from the village. “We want to increase our outreach with local businesses,” he said. “We want people to know that not only is a donation going to purchase a ball, but it’s also going to a boy or girl that wouldn’t otherwise participate.” • Ed Williams of TEC Engineering presented a report on the status of the Village Square renovation. Williams said plans had been sent to the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project is slated for construction quotes to go out in June, Williams said. The state had requested that the village place $245,000 in escrow to cover potential costs for the project. After several questions from councilmembers, Williams explained that the estimate for the project could come in lower than that amount, and the village was not obligated to spend the entire $245,000. Unused funds would return to the village, he said.
Mason joins fire collaborative Community Press Staff Report
The Fire Chiefs of the Northeast Fire Collaborative announce the expansion of the fire collaborative to include the Mason Fire Department. The addition of the city of Mason brings the total number of firefighters represented in the collaborative to 345, the square miles protected to 71 square miles and the population served to 105,000 people from the Loveland Symmes, Sycamore Township, Blue Ash, Sharonville and now Mason fire departments. Mason is the first department added to the collaborative since its inception last spring. These six communities will work in unison to enhance fire firefighter safety, fire protection services and response guidelines all while working under similar policies and combining their purchasing power and resources. “The addition of the city of Mason will work well towards progressing the goals and strategies of the collaborative,” said Chief Ralph Hammonds, president of the collaborative. “By working closer together we can provide a higher quality, more efficient service to our communities, and make better use of our financial resources,” Mason Fire Chief John Moore said.
George White, left, and Mike Zorn are leading the YMCA’s annual support campaign.
PROVIDED
Pair leading YMCA campaign George White and Mike Zorn have much more in common that the fact their children were raised in Wyoming. As members and board members of the YMCA, they’ve seen firsthand the smiles on children’s faces who learned to swim for the first time; of budding athletes who walked away from the field with a new sense of confidence because of coaches who nurtured their own personal success; and summer camp participants who learned the values of responsibility, caring, honesty and integrity. Through the end of March, the two fathers and business leaders are leading YMCA staff, volunteers and members in an effort to ensure the YMCA can continue its vision of never turning anyone away from opportunities to grow in spirit, mind and body. Their
goal is to raise more than $1 million. “The YMCA is a place where people come to feel good about themselves during these challenging times. It’s a place where children, adults, families and older adults of all backgrounds can come to meet new friends, learn new things and grow as individuals,” said Zorn, YMCA of Greater Cincinnati Board vice chair and annual support campaign co-chair, and Macy’s vice president of employee relations. Zorn is joined in his efforts by his Wyoming neighbor, campaign co-chair and president of Up With Paper, George White. The success for this year’s EveryONE Deserves a Y Annual Campaign has never been more important as the difficult economic times are burdening families with increased stress and heightened need for focus-
ing on well being. For many, these opportunities simply wouldn’t be possible without the YMCA’s Membership For All sliding scale fee making opportunities affordable for everyone. Last year alone 27,000 people participated in YMCA memberships, summer camps, sports, swim lessons, classes and programs with the help of the YMCA’s financial assistance totaling more than $3.6 million. Forty-one percent of the kids participating in YMCA sports, swim lessons, structured afterschool, nurturing child care and camp were able to do so because of reduced rates. They learned positive character values, gained confidence, and made new friends. To learn more or to make a donation, the public can call the YMCA at 513-362YMCA or visit www.myy.org.

Tania Saldana of Toyota said the company uses an instrument to test different functions, such as coordination, stability and walking. It’s technology similar to that used in vehicles, she said of the vehicle stability controls in Toyota cars and trucks. “It allows it to walk forward and backward without slipping,” Saldana said. “Just like a car driving on a slippery road without skidding.” Toyota is working to create a partner robot to potentially assist people in four fields, Saldana said. They are: housekeeping, manufacturing, personal mobility and medical/elderly care. Residents at Maple Knoll were given a survey of their interest in using a robot. The questions examined
robot size, cost and how it would be used. “We want to know what kind of applications interest them,” Saldana said. “What would it look like, and what size would it be? “How much would they be willing to pay? Do they want to buy or lease?” She stressed that the goal would be to assist people, not replace them. “We cold never replace the workforce,” Saldana said. “We simply want to diversify and improve their lives.” She said the uses could vary widely, from helping to open a prescription bottle to carrying people up and down steps to performing housekeeping chores. “When you stop to think about what goes into it to get it to do what it’s doing,” Pietch said, “it’s fascinating, amazing technology.”

The musician walked onto the stage and played a medley on the trumpet, then silently without emotion backed off stage as the audience clapped. Residents at Maple Knoll Village, as well as children from the child center there, said they enjoyed the unique performance by a life-sized robot. It was a demonstration by Toyota, which has developed a 4-foot-8-inch tall robot that can perform a myriad of tasks. Among them was playing the trumpet. It had dextrous fingers and an air compressor as artificial lungs, and it performed flawlessly. Toyota representatives came to Maple Knoll to survey the residents on whether they’d be interested in such technology to help them as they age and have a more difficult time performing routine tasks. “For those who have physical disabilities, the possibilities are unlimited,” said Jerry Pietch, a resident at Maple Knoll. “For us older people, it’s hard to imagine what can happen tomorrow,” he said of the unfolding technology. “This is another stage up. “We’re used to doing everything ourselves,” he said. “It’s hard to imagine what a helper can do.”

Princeton trio wrestles at state meet By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
A trio of Princeton High School wrestlers appeared in the Division I State Wrestling Championships at the Jerome Schottenstein Center at Ohio State University in Columbus March 46. “We were very fortunate to have three state-qualifiers,” head coach Ty Robbins said. “They worked hard.” The top performer for the Vikings was senior Charles Mason (160), who finished fourth in his weight class. Mason, who qualified for state after winning sectional and district titles, went 3-2 at state to finish the season 40-5. He went 1-2 at state as a junior in the 152pound division. “Last year he was wrestling at state with one arm,” Robbins said. “He had a shoulder injury, and he couldn’t do everything he wanted to do.” Robbins said that Mason was healthy for the tournament this year and received a good draw. Also performing at state for Princeton were junior Corey Selmon (103) and senior Jeremy Stepp (189) Selmon, who advanced to state after winning sectional and district titles, went 0-2 at state to finish the season with a 33-6 record. Robbins said that Selmon, who placed sixth at state as a sophomore, hopes to win a state title during his career. “He said he wanted to win one after walking off the mat last year (at state),” Robbins said. “He wasn’t happy with finishing sixth. He’s watched his diet, he’s been lifting, he ran cross country – he’s worked extremely hard.” Stepp (189), meanwhile,

That's great for our program.” Robbins said Stepp and Mason will likely wrestle in college. Stepp is receiving interest from several schools, including Pittsburgh, while Mason is getting looks from the likes of Notre Dame College and Michigan State. “I’ve really enjoyed working with all these guys,” Robbins said. “It’s been an honor.”
Wyoming bowlers set new high mark
Cowboys score first district qualification By Anthony Amorini

High pin totals from standout Nick Burns and his fellow Cowboys scored Wyoming’s boys’ bowling team its first district qualification in the program’s seven-year history this winter. Wyoming advanced to districts for the first time following its eight-place finish Friday, Feb. 19, at the Sectional Championships at Colerain Bowl. With the top eight teams qualifying to districts, the Cowboys eighth-place score of 3,634 pins edged out ninth-place Hamilton’s 3,617 by just 17 pins as Wyoming represented the last team advancing through sectionals. “The boys pulled out a

als, Wyoming’s 13th-place score stood at 2,458 pins. Hamilton was at 2,635 pins – a 177-pin lead over Wyoming – through the same span. However, Wyoming scored 1,176 pins in Baker games to jump from 13th
place to eighth place while advancing to districts. Burns, a Wyoming junior and the only state qualifier in the program, led Wyoming with a threegame score of 569 pins at sectionals including a highgame of 217. Burns averaged 199.8 pins a game this winter with a high series at 466 pins. He qualified to state as a freshman. “When (Burns) is on, he’s on fire and it’s very impressive,” Pollington said. “He throws a real smooth ball. In the past three weeks he threw two 300 games in practice.” Wyoming junior Chris Bellman scored 494 pins at sectionals. Joe Meier, Wyoming’s lone senior starter, scored 451 pins at sectionals. Meier averaged 188.2 pins a game this winter with Bellman averaging 166.9 pins a game. Additional Wyoming starters included junior Josh Hite (180.1 pins a game)
and sophomore Matt Brown (166.6 pins a game). At districts, Wyoming finished its historic campaign with a 22nd-place performance at 3,498 pins Tuesday, March 2. “We were just happy to get the opportunity to go up there and represent the school,” Pollington said of districts. Immediately following season’s conclusion, Pollington and his Cowboys were already thinking about next winter, the coach said. “This is going to be a good year to build on. Yesterday we sat down and talked about how next season starts tomorrow,” joked Pollington the day after districts. “I am fired up to have so many guys coming back. “It takes a lot of hard work to get those strikes and score well consistently. We really focused in on what they were lacking – picking up spares – and their hard work showed at the end of the year,” Pollington added.

CHCA makes finals despite low numbers
Lady Eagles graduate trio of senior leaders By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s dedicated cast of six full-time varsity basketball players exceeded expectations despite falling short of a sectional title this fall. Despite the low numbers, CHCA still managed to finish at 15-6 while making a run to the Division III Sectional Championship finals before ending its season. “I asked those six girls to do a lot, and we took it a long way,” CHCA head coach Ronnie Grandison said. “I was really proud of them for pushing so hard to put together a good season. CHCA ended its season with a loss to Madeira, 2921, during the Division III Sectional Championship finals Thursday, Feb. 25. CHCA only made 6-of-

basketball team and they have very smart players. We tried to play up-tempo
but they kept us under control,” Grandison said. “You can’t win basketball games shooting that poorly.” Included in CHCA’s sextet of dedicated varsity players was a trio of senior leaders including Taylor Dixon, Hannah Lambert and Erin Lloyd. Though losing senior leaders to graduation is always tough, Grandison explained that this crop of CHCA seniors had particular significance, he said. All three of the girls were a part of CHCA’s 20-0 run during the regular season two years ago. “They were a part of that so they carried that tradition,” Grandison said of his current team having a direct connection to the 20-0 squad. “It will leave a big hole with those three gone. “We are kind of starting over to be honest,” Grandison said of next season. This winter, Dixon led CHCA with 13 points and 9.3 rebounds a game. Dixon’s numbers saw a significant spike in the mid-
dle of the season when “something clicked” for the senior standout, Grandison said. Through the first seven games, Dixon averaged 7.9 points and 8.4 rebounds a game while scoring five points or less on four occasions. In her next nine games, Dixon averaged 16.3 points and 13.3 rebounds a game including nine-consecutive games scoring in the double-digits. “We knew Taylor was our best player the whole season. I kept telling her that she could score a double-double every night,” Grandison said of Dixon averaging a double-double during the final nine games of the season. Looking forward to next winter, a trio of varsity contributors will return for Grandison including junior Alex Jeffers and sophomores Morgan Prescott and Jamie Prop. “All three of them will be leaders,” Grandison said. “Alex was our spark on

Senior forward Wes Carlson averaged an impressive 18.6 points a game this winter while leading CHCA. He also finished with 7.2 rebounds a game and 30 blocks. Junior Nick Lawley led CHCA with 8.3 rebounds a game and also contributed 7.6 points a game and 15 steals.

Evendale is threatening to “get tough” with people who park on grass instead of hard surfaces. Do you agree with the village’s position? Why or why not? No responses. Would you consider or are you considering a Toyota for your next car, given the company’s recent recalls and safety concerns? Why or why not? “No, on the Toyota or any other foreign car. This is why America is in the shape it’s in, we can make a good car here in the states. Some people would say that Toyota is made here but, your money goes to Japan.” Steve “Toyota is currently not as well made as American cars. I think they are living off an unfair reputation. In most upscale neighborhoods, it’s not fashionable to buy or drive an American car. Of course, if you do some homework, you notice that they have finished behind Ford and many GM vehicles for years, but the news rarely reaches our upscale suburbs. “Toyota has consistly taken more money out of this county than they’ve put in. Keep in mind that they make some of the cars here, but not the most expensive ones, like Lexus and Prius. I think it’s patriotic to buy an American car, and our money stays at home in most cases.” J.H. “Sure I would buy a Toyota, as soon as my Honda gives out. “Wonder if Obama will be brought before Congress to explain ObamaMotors’ (GM) recall of 1.3 million autos due to power steering problems.” L.D.B. “I have purchased Toyota’s my last five cars. They have all been extremely reliable and the service provided by Toyota has been excellent. I believe there is a bit of a ‘witch hunt’ on for Toyota at this time which has been compounded by Toyota’s less-than-stellar initial response to the recall issues. “I will continue to purchase Toyota as the car of choice. I recently purchased a 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and could not be more pleased. “If you look at the entire experience dimension the issues that are being highlighted have been blown out of proportion (IMO).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
As a parent of a student enrolled in Catholic school, I strongly support the Princeton school levy. Not only do I believe it is my moral and ethical obligation to provide the best possible education for all children in our community, I must admit to wanting the benefits associated with living in a community that supports education. I want my children exposed to well-educated peers when participating in community sports teams and other activities. I want the higher property values that result from living in a community that provides superior schools. I want my neighbors to be the kind of people
who highly value education. Yes, I consider myself blessed to have been able to provide an excellent Catholic education for my daughter and I believe that all children should have the benefit of the best possible education. By voting for the Princeton school levy we help to achieve this goal for all of the children in our community. Alison O'Neill Stanwin Place Evendale
Make Princeton school of choice
I am excited to be a part of Princeton’s levy campaign.
New facilities attract great teachers. New facilities keep great teachers. New buildings energize staff to try new things, begin new traditions and go that extra mile. I want great teachers from neighboring schools to hear about our new schools and want to be a part of our excitement. Princeton knows what is best for my four children. Voting yes May 4 ensures that they will have great teachers who inspire kids to dream and challenge them to achieve. Together, we can make Princeton the school of choice.

Plea bargains in criminal cases A plea bargain is an agreement between a prosecutor and a defendant to settle a criminal case. Pleas bargains, though often criticized, are an essential process in the criminal justice system. My courtroom averages more than 300 cases per week. Plea bargains are necessary to deal with this volume of cases. In fact, about 95 percent of criminal convictions are resolved with a plea. In other words, less than 5 percent of criminal cases actually go to trial. Prosecutors and defendants have incentives to engage in plea bargaining. For prosecutors, a plea bargain ensures a conviction even if it is for a lesser charge. No case, no matter how strong the evidence, is a certain victory for the prosecutor at trial. Jury trials especially are unpredictable. The prosecutor also may accept a plea bargain from one defendant in

exchange for testimony against a codefendant. Defendants have an obvious incentive to plea bargain: the opportunity for a Judge Brad lighter sentence Greenberg or lesser charge. have Community Defendants other incentives Press guest as well. Most columnist defendants prefer certainty to uncertainty. A plea bargain with an expected sentence may be preferable to an unknown sentence after a trial. Defendants also save time and legal fees, if they have private counsel, by avoiding a trial and entering a plea. Defendants, defense attorneys and prosecutors assess multiple factors when negotiating a plea
bargain. Most significant is the strength or weakness of each side’s case. If the prosecutor thinks that she has a strong case, she will be less flexible and may not offer any plea bargain. Conversely, if the prosecutor has a weak case, such as missing witnesses, the defendant often gets a better deal. The judge has the authority to accept or reject a proposed plea bargain. Most plea bargains are accepted. However, I occasionally have rejected plea bargains that I think do not protect the public. Although many cases are resolved by a plea bargain, remember that a defendant has a constitutional right to a jury trial. No one, including the judge, may force someone to waive that right. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

Turn the tax system upside down This is an idea that came to me many years ago. Before you call me totally off the wall, be sure you follow the reasoning. I was the production manager in a factory. We were late on deliveries and needed overtime work to satisfy our customers. Often, when I asked employees to work overtime, the answer was, “sorry, but it will increase my taxes.” As years passed, I began to realize the folly of our tax system. The present recession and likely depression make my ideas for recovery seem practical. So, think this through as I have many times over the years. My employees were not stupid. They were reacting to what they considered as excessive taxation. We often make financial decisions based on the tax system. Many of these decisions do not create wealth or jobs for ourselves and others. So, here is my solution.
Our tax system is backwards. It penalizes productive people and rewards nonproductive people. Consider my employees. If Edward Levy increased earnCommunity ings were taxed Press guest at a lower rate would work columnist they longer and have a better income. The resulting production would have increased our sales and more jobs would be created. The money earned by our employees would have been spent in local stores and created still more wealth and jobs. What about the wealthy? Won’t the lower taxes on increased income cause them to just become richer? Well, wealth is not a dirty word. They would react
just like the working folks. Many would work harder and invest more in productive assets. As it is now, there are many nonproductive ways to retain income. Many of them have the ability to simply raise their salaries to cover their lifestyle. This doesn’t help the working folks. Their increased taxes merely go to the government and are used for mostly nonproductive political pay backs. How many products of the government do you really buy? The two things I want to emphasize are that working people are not stupid and the rich are not evil. A tax system based on generating wealth and incentives to both work and create jobs is in the best interest of all citizens. The simplified system I propose would be a simple flat tax that is modestly graduated to start with a small rate at halfway between the poverty level and the median income. It would increase modest-
ly up to the median income and then decrease to 50 percent of the median rate after that. Those who earn more than the median income would pay that rate plus the reduced added taxes. A percentage of all income would be excluded from taxation if it is placed in certified retirement and medical savings accounts. All this could be done on one sheet of paper by the vast majority of the population. This would eliminate the huge costs of preparation and administration that we all pay. Many people who would benefit most by this system would be the working folks. Tax receipts by the government would increase and the economy would flourish if we simply kept expenditures below receipts. Why can’t the highly educated bureaucrats see this? Or, don’t they want to?

Therapeutic hypothermia equipment designed by Sharonville-based Cincinnati Sub-Zero recently helped save the life of Avery Fitzgerald (sitting on her father’s lap), who had to be delivered by emergency Cesarean section Nov. 15, 2008, due to umbilical cord complications. Avery is seen her vacationing in North Carolina with her family, from left (clockwise), sister Reagan, mother, Shannon, father, Mark, and sister Quinn.
Sharonville company helps save Colorado baby An Arvada, Colo., couple is thanking a Sharonville-based company for helping saving the life of the youngest of their three daughters. Mark and Shannon Fitzgerald’s daughter Avery, now 14 months old, was delivered by emergency Cesarean section Nov. 15, 2008, at Avista Advenstist Hospital in Louisville, Colo., due to umbilical cord complications. According to the Arvada Press, Avery’s umbilical cord had knotted itself around her neck, cutting oxygen just before she was born. Within hours, she was in a state of therapeutic hypothermia. After she was born, Avery was flown from Avista Advenstist to Presbyterian Saint Luke’s Hospital, where doctors used therapeutic hypothermia equipment designed by Cincinnati SubZero, a company which services products to the medical industry, that cooled Avery’s body temperature in a controlled environment to prevent brain damage. Avery spent 72 hours under a temperature-controlled blanket, created by Cincinnati Sub-Zero, set to lower Avery’s temperature to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. She then spent another six hours under the blanket, which gradually raised her body temperature back to its normal level. Lowering the temperature slows down the release toxins

Her father Mark Fitzgerald ran three marathons in three months – a mile for each hour Avery spent in the controlled cooling environment – including Orlando’s Walt Disney World Marathon, the Denver Marathon and the Philadelphia Marathon. During their trips, the Fitzgerald family had a chance to meet the doctors and engineers who made the procedure possible, including Cincinnati Sub-Zero CEO Steve Berke. “I can’t tell you how great that family is. Things aligned just right for them,” he said. Berke, who lives in Blue Ash, also said that many hospitals in the U.S. are starting to order therapeutic hypothermia equipment and that the infant cooling equipment is in higher demand than adult cooling equipment.

Negro Baseball League veteran and award-winning volunteer Thomas Turner holding forth on a treasured piece of his memorabilia at the Springdale Kroger office.
His life is one good Turner after another
On Tuesday, June 22, 1915 Samuel H. and Ada Wilson Turner welcomed Thomas Turner into their family in Olive Branch, Tenn. Tom would be one of 13 children. The family moved to Glendale when he was 10years-old, and Glendale remains the family hub. A quintessential go-getter, Tom assiduously practices Evelyn his philosophy: keep Perkins moving and you’ll Community remain young. Throughout the Press year, but especially columnist during Black History Month, he presents his baseball career at various Kroger stores. It has become a tradition for managers to ask him to showcase his memorabilia. In fact, people come back year after year to shake his hand, listen to his baseball recollections, and enjoy the camaraderie. His presence and charismatic personality inspire community spirit. Recently he was invited to the Springdale Kroger office, where he amazed people with his longevity and history. He doesn’t believe in being late, and sure enough arrived with his lovely wife, Betty, at least half an hour ahead of schedule. Tom has been busy at Kroger stores in Mount Orab, Amelia, Cherry Grove, Maysville, Middletown, Cold Spring, Mount Carmel, Blanchester, Goshen and our local Glenwood store. He still drives, often
to locations more than 50 miles from his home. Tom loves baseball and played while stationed in the Army in Arizona. One thing of which he is very proud is when General Benjamin O. Davis presented the championship trophy to Scoutmaster Turner for his Boy Scout troop’s competition in all events. He played for two years in the Mexican League, and then for the Chicago American Giants of the Negro League. Returning to Cincinnati, he worked at Shillito’s department store and then General Electric. Father of Ana, Olga and Glenn, he moved the family to Seattle, accepting a position at Boeing. Upon his retirement, he became the senior supervisor for Seattle Parks and Recreation where he taught and coached softball, basketball, tennis and other sports. Tom conducted exercise classes for senior citizens at his church. When the Turners moved to Georgetown, Ohio, in 1984, he did the same at the senior citizen center. He still volunteers at a nursing home twice a week. During the Brown County Fair, he organizes the Senior Citizen Push, enlisting the help of high school students to push wheelchair-bound residents. Tom has also counseled students about character, conduct, drug and alcohol abstinence and respect. Tom coached winning girls baseball teams in Lincoln Heights, Seattle, Georgetown, Kennedy Heights and other locations. He always encouraged girls not to relegate themselves to tra-

As they succeed and share his wisdom with others, he is continually successful. 1963 found him one of more than 300,000 people marching in Washington, D.C., to support Dr. Martin Luther King’s call for freedom. Two years later he marched in Selma, Ala. Recipient of many honors and awards, Tom accepted the John Horn “Roll Up your Sleeves” Memorial award in 2000 for being an outstanding volunteer. The next year he was chosen “Volunteer of the Year” by the Points of Light organization. Mere days prior to his 94th birthday, Tom was a special invitee to the Civil Rights Game held last June at the Great American Ball Park. Being with notables such as Hank Aaron, Bill Cosby and others from the Negro League made for a memorable time.

AJC hosts community Seder American Jewish Committee, dedicated to global Jewish advocacy, will celebrate Passover, the festival of freedom, at the Mayerson Jewish Community Center in Amberley Village with the 17th annual AJC Community Intergroup Seder Wednesday, March 17. AJC invites people of varied religious, ethnic, and racial backgrounds – diplomats, church groups, high school students, and the
public – to share the Passover holiday’s theme of freedom for all by joining in the ritual. Rabbi Gary P. Zola, director of the American Jewish Archives at Hebrew Union College, will officiate at the popular event. All who attend will read from the Haggadah, the retelling of the Biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt. Dozens of AJC volunteers will serve ritual foods, host
the lunch, and answer questions asked by the people at their tables. Because the AJC Seder takes place at noon instead of the usual sunset hour, grape juice will be served instead of wine. For Seder reservations at $12, call 621-4020 by March 10. After the Seder, guests may take an optional tour of the sanctuary of the adjacent Rockdale Temple. AJC seeks a secure Jew-
ish future in a more just world, fights all forms of bigotry, supports human and civil rights, works for a secure and democratic Israel, and improves intergroup relations through the Community Intergroup Seder, as well as the Simon Lazarus Human Relations Awards for high school volunteers.

Our enemy fear attended the Olympics
The Olympics are majestic but they are no match for fear. We enjoy watching the games for various reasons: our patriotism, competitive spirit, love of sports, or even for the vicarious thrill of imagining ourselves in some of the athletes. Yet, if we are competing, how well would we handle our fears? The Olympics, like life itself, confronts humans with various fears. In our lives, “Each morning two grinning gremlins sit at the foot of our bed. One is called Lethargy and one is called Fear. Either will gladly eat us alive … for they daily renew their interest in possessing our soul,” writes analyst Dr. James Hollis. The success of our lives will be found in our struggle to achieve as much meaning and depth as possible by going beyond the bounds these two enemies try to set upon us. Do Olympics participants battle these same gremlins as we do in our lives, jobs and responsibilities? Definitely! For example, in the Feb.
26 edition of USA To d a y , s p o r t s columnist M i k e Lopresti wrote of the unnoFather Lou t i c e d Guntzelman departure the Perspectives of Netherlands bobsled team. “Its team has pulled out of the four-man bobsled competition before even starting – not because of injury or controversy or lousy times. The pilot is Edwin van Calker, and he has lost his nerve to compete,” Lopresti states. “They’ve seen the crashes at the Whistler Sliding Centre. They are haunted by the death of the Georgian luger. Edwin had an awful time of it last week in the two-man competition,” notes the columnist. Edwin’s brother and teammate, Arnold, agreed with him. He is 33 years old and has a wife and daughter who saw the luger’s death back in Holland on television. Some will condemn their
withdrawal from the Olympics, others will try to understand. But we must remember that the gremlin of fear sits at the foot of every one of our beds, and in every one of our endeavors. “Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world,” says Emerson. Was the bobsledder’s decision to withdraw his succumbing to cowardice or the summoning up of courage (not caring what others will say and think of him)? Or, back in the beginning of his bobsledding career choice years ago, was he fearful of changing his choice or of future failure? We do not know. What we do know is that life is not our enemy, fear is. Throughout life we must ask ourselves in every dilemma we face between the difficult and the easy; in every relationship in which we’re called to make risks and sacrificial choices; in every commitment we’re called upon to make; every responsibility to a spouse or child, “Is it basically fear or lethargy that’s holding me
have. I have known fear of failure, fear of humiliation, fear of injury, and sometimes fear of death, either for myself or a loved one. “Most of all, I have wrestled against the fear of not mattering, of being cast out because I did not fit in, of being overlooked because I was not significant, and of being shamed because I was not worthy. I have at times been paralyzed by this feeling. I have let it hold me back. And what I now want
back? Does my choice diminish me or enlarge me?” Only the boldest among us can acknowledge the role that fear plays in our lives and then to do something about it. In the beginning of his book, “Face Your Fear: Living with Courage in an Age of Caution,” Rabbi Shmuley Boteach writes for all of us when he reveals, “I have struggled my whole life against fear, as many of you
is liberation from that fear.” Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the perception that some things are more important to us than what we fear. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@communitypress.co m or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Have a taste o’ the green this St. Paddy’s Day The wild yellow aconite which dear friend Ike Leaf gave me starts of so long ago is now starting to cover our little patch of woods with bright yellow and green. The snowdrops are up, too. I’m always amazed at the courage of Mother Nature to push these delicate looking flowers through the frozen ground and snow. Spring is not far behind! And don’t forget to start saving those papery onion
skins for coloring E a s t e r Eggs. I’ll share that r e c i p e soon. Meanwhile, St. Rita P a t r i c k ’s Heikenfeld Day is just around Rita’s kitchen the corner, so here are some favorites to celebrate.

YMCA seeks teens with character values
Flower show, Kindervelt partner for children The Cincinnati Horticultural Society and Kindervelt of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) have joined in support of fundraising efforts benefitting CCHMC. Through March 15, a portion of every Cincinnati Flower Show ticket sold online through the Cincinnati Flower Show Web site will be donated to the Division of Asthma Research. “I see collaboration as an important part of the future for all non-profits” said Mary Margaret Rochford, president of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. “In all my business experience this is the best example of synergy, where the whole is more than the sum of the parts.” Cincinnati Children’s
Hospital Medical Center is committed to improving care for children with asthma. The Division of Asthma Research is developing new standards for clinical care through cutting-edge research. CCHMC is a notfor-profit hospital and research center pioneering treatments, providing outstanding family-centered patient care and training health-care professionals for the future. Kindervelt is the largest auxiliary of CCHMC and is recognized as one of Greater Cincinnati’s outstanding volunteer organizations. Composed of neighborhood groups joined together by a central, city-wide board of trustees, Kindervelt-sponsored gifts have supported both medical research at
and the acquisition of stateof-the-art equipment for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Kindervelt is in the middle of a four-year commitment to raise funds for the Division of Asthma Research. The non-profit Cincinnati Horticultural Society is the producer of the Cincinnati Flower Show, celebrating its 21th anniversary this year, April 17-25, at Symmes Township Park. The theme of this year’s show is “Fantasy, Formal, Friendly.” Tickets to the 2010 Cincinnati Flower Show can be purchased at www.cincyflowershow.com. For more information, call Kristy Conlin, publicity manager, at 872-9555.
HaZaK to focus on Jews in Ireland Jews in Ireland have a proud history. Their experiences will be the subject of Northern Hills Synagogue – Congregation B’nai Avraham’s monthly HaZaK program for seniors Wednesday, March 17. The program will take place at noon at the Synagogue, at 5714 Fields Ertel Road, between Interstate 71 and Snider Road. Lunch will be served. The featured speaker will be Dr. Robert Smith. He will share his colorful memories of growing up in Dublin as a schoolboy in a Jewish neighborhood. He attended a Christian school, and then
went to medical school at Trinity College of Dublin University, with its lively Jewish Student’s Union. More recently, Smith has won many national and international awards for his contributions to medical teaching and research. Smith is a professor emeritus at the University of Cincinnati and director of its type 2 diabetes pharmacogenomics research project. “HaZaK” is an acronym, with the letters standing for the Hebrew words “Hakhma” (wisdom), “Ziknah” (maturity) and “Kadi-
ma” (forward). The HaZaK programs are for adults 55 and older, and are open to the entire community. In addition to members of Northern Hills, many attendees have come from the Jewish Community Center, Cedar Village, Brookwood Retirement Community, and throughout Greater Cincinnati. There is no charge for the program and lunch, but donations are appreciated. For reservations or more information, call the Northern Hills Synagogue office at 931-6038.

Isaac M. Wise Temple presents program on prisons, prisoners We know that in Ohio prisons, the population well exceeds the prisons’ capacities. What else do we know? “Prisons and Prisoners: The Impact on our Community” will answer many questions that citizens have about the condition, purposes, successes and failures of prisons in Ohio and nationwide. This forum, sponsored by the Critical Topics Committee of the Isaac M. Wise Temple, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March
25, at Wise Center, 8329 Ridge Road. Rabbi Ilana Baden, associate Rabbi of Isaac M. Wise Temple will open the program and welcome the community. Professor Marianna Brown Bettman, professor of Clinical Law at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, will serve as moderator of a distinguished panel whose combined expertise comprises such areas as day-to-day operation of prisons, the criminal justice system, prison reform, and attorney education.
Terry Collins, immediate past director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, began his career in the department as a social worker, then became a warden, deputy directory, and assistant director before being appointed director in 2006 by then Gov. Robert Taft. Gov. Ted Strickland renewed his appointment in 2007. Collins oversaw 13,000 employees and an inmate population of more than 51,000. Collins retired Jan. 31.

Mike Albert partners with Hillman Group to create ‘rolling showroom’ for customers, trade shows By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Representatives from Mike Albert Vehicle Fleet Management met with employees of The Hillman Group Inc. recently to unveil a customized vehicle designed to act as a rolling showroom for Hillman’s products. Hillman partnered with Mike Albert to create the vehicle, which measures 16 feet long and is built from a Ford E-450, in order to bring their entire product line to
customers and trade shows. Inside, the vehicle features walls of Hillman products arranged in drawers and on display, while track lighting adorns the ceiling. A fully operational computer terminal gives Hillman employees access to product information and a large flat-panel television is mounted to the front wall. Hillman employees see great potential for the truck as a sales and marketing tool. “This vehicle is really going to change the way we’re able to present our
products to our customers,” said Bob Lyons, Hillman’s director of marketing. “The way it’s been outfitted is amazing. We can pull into a tradeshow or a customer’s office and we’ve got a fully functional showroom within a few moments.” Once parked, the vehicle’s electronics run off a generator stowed below the floor; the generator’s controls and hour meter are located on the computer terminal. To increase safety and visibility, a backup camera installed near the license plate displays in the
Ambassadors Committee and happily volunteered for any other help the Sharonville Chamber needed,” said Arnold. “I was surprised to win this award, Sperry said. “I not only participate as a volunteer to be helpful to the Sharonville Chamber but I have made a ton of contacts which have resulted in business for me.” Winners were announced during the Sharonville Chamber’s recent Breakfast of Champions, recognition awards and annual meeting.

ODOT study reveals dangerous deer accidents in urban, rural areas Updated safety statistics from the Ohio Department of Transportation reveal that motorists in both rural and urban regions of the state need to watch out for dangerous – and sometimes deadly – accidents involving deer-vehicle crashes. In 2008, there were a total of 24,582 deer-vehicle crashes reported in Ohio, resulting in six people killed and 1,127 injured. Nearly half of the accidents occurred between the beginning of October and the end of December. The ODOT safety study shows there were 5,176 accidents in November 2008 alone – roughly 172 accidents each day. The study also reveals that deer-vehicle crashes are not limited to rural areas of the state. In fact, the total deer crashes were greatest in the Akron area (601
crashes in Summit County) and the Cincinnati area (593 crashes in Hamilton County) last year. In District 8, a total of 2,689 deer-vehicle crashes were reported in 2008, resulting in 123 injured. Because many deervehicle collisions go unreported to police and local authorities, the actual number of crashes throughout Ohio may be as high as 60,000 each year. ODOT advises motorists to use these driving tips to help avoid collisions with deer: • Watch for deer-crossing signs and drive with extreme caution, especially in the posted areas. • If you see one deer near the road, expect that others will follow. • Watch for deer especially at dawn and after sunset.

these crashes occur in early morning, while more than half occur between 5 p.m. and midnight. • Always wear safety belts and drive at safe, sensible speeds for road conditions. If a vehicle strikes a deer, motorists should report the crash by calling local law enforcement, the sheriff’s department, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources – even if there was no damage to the motorist’s vehicle. When deer-vehicle crashes occur, deer carcasses must be moved from the main roadway to prevent further accidents. In 2008, ODOT workers spent 30,060 hours handling 17,185 deer, at a cost to the state of $1.8 million.
