BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Winter seasoned with salt By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Wyoming is preparing for winter. City council passed a resolution during its Oct. 15 meeting, authorizing City Manager Lynn Tetley to enter into a contract for bulk salt, used to treat the roads during inclement weather. Last year’s mild winter left a sufficient supply for the upcoming winter, enabling Public Works Director Terry Huxel to stretch the city’s contract. Typically, the contract runs from April 1 to March 31, but Huxel said Wyoming’s contract term with North American Salt will be delayed until Dec. 1, running until March 3, 2014, when it will return to the typical cycle. Options are available to add to the order, if needed, Huxel

said. The city’s supply is ample, he said, with the salt barn filled, and overflow stored off-site. “I waited, just in case we get a bad winter,” Huxel said. “So, we’re covered.” If the city piles the salt, the cost per ton will be $48.11. If North American Salt piles the supply, it will cost Wyoming $51.11 a ton. Last year’s price, with piling services, came to $68.88 a ton. Huxel cited last year’s mild winter, and a surplus of salt, as the reason for the drop in cost this year. Huxel explained that city equipment can load the the majority of the barn, but would need the salt supplier’s bigger loader to fill the barn to capacity.

Glendale to vote on 10-mill levy As Glendale voters decide whether to support an operating levy, village officials have posted information about the tax on its website. The tax levy would replace its 2008 levy of 8.5 mills, which expires in 2012, and increases the amount by 1.5 mills. The 10-mill levy voters will see on the Nov. 6 ballot would increase homeowners’ taxes about $45 per $100,000 market value, over the current 2012 rate, according to the village posting. “Glendale property taxes were significantly reduced in 2012, however, because the (Hamilton) County auditor reduced the total valuation of

Glendale properties in 2011,” the village posted. Village officials also cited the elimination of some state funding as a contributor to the need for an increase in millage. The tax levy is one of two four-year levies that are renewed biennially. According to the village, 90 percent of Glendale’s operating revenue comes from those two levies. More information and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the Glendale website, www.glendaleohio.org.

New interest in savings By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Springdale will save money through a lower interest rate on bonds issued in 2002 for the expansion of the community center. The refinancing of the bonds, at 1.21 percent, will save the city more than $140,000 over the life of the term, according to Finance Director Kathy McNear. The city would have paid $220,800 in interest, she said.

The principal amount won’t be affected by the refinancing, and the terms of the bond issue won’t change, City Administrator Derrick Parham said. The city will owe $400,000 in principal each year, from 2013 through 2016, and $300,000 in 2017, when the bonds will be paid off, according to a document attached to the ordinance passed during city council’s Oct. 17 meeting. “We’re simply saving money on interest,” Parham said.

Benefit to help Springdale boy Donations can also be made at 5/3 By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Springdale has accepted the resignation of a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals who has stepped down in part to help care for his grandson, who is battling a serious illness. Bill Reichert has been a part of the Springdale community since 1974, raising two sons with his wife, Sharon. Reichert’s grandson, Noah Reichert, turned 2 years old in May. Two weeks after his birthday, his sister, Natalie, was born. A week after that, Noah was diagnosed with leukemia, Pre B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). As his mom, Jandi Reichert, plans to stay home to care for him during his estimated two-tothree-year treatment, the family is facing loss of income and mounting medical bills. Friends have reached out, planning a benefit at the Evendale

Arts center offers portrait painting class Learn a simple stepby-step method to copy an old master portrait with nationally known portrait painter Carin Hebenstreit. Students will complete a painting and be more knowledgeable of the old master techniques. The workshop will be Oct. 26, 27 and 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. all three days with a break for lunch. The cost of the workshop is $300 and is limited to only 15 students. Call or email Carin to register, 6818995 or chebenstreit@fuse.net. Hebenstreit creates compelling portraits. Her technique, influenced by the Renaissance masters and honed through years of study abroad, incorporates glazing layers of paint over her underpainting to produce luminosity and richness of color. Hebenstreit brings her subjects to life through the flow and movement and

design of the painting. She is one of the most evocative portrait artists of our time. Hebenstreit has been a professional portrait painter for 30 years and has her own weekly TV show, “Painting with the Masters,” which is now in its third year. Her portraits, landscapes and still life paintings are included in private collections across the country. Her work has been exhibited in fine art galleries including Closson’s and The Cincinnati Art Galleries. Her work can be seen on her website carinhebenstreit.com. The Evendale Cultural Arts Center is at 10500 Reading Road in Evendale, in the restored Civic Center.

Wyoming woman plants seeds of healthy living Maybe you’re wondering why your zip is zapped. Does your mental motor always seem to be in overdrive? Regardless, Wyoming’s Nancy Illman has the solution. A student of Cornell University’s studies in plant based nutrition, Nancy shared loads of information with me to bolster the saying “You are what Evelyn you eat.” Perkins Skillfully COMMUNITY blending PRESS COLUMNIST such goodies as pumpkin and sunflower seeds, sour and bing cherries, cacao powder, coconut oil, bananas, strawberries and orange juice, she make delicious truffles and super high protein smoothies with no sugar or dairy. These and more are full of the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals without the necessity for animal fat. Nancy says studies have

shown that such fats aid and abet cancer cells. She studies under Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of “The China Study” that recounts the data he gathered surveying what adults in rural China and Taiwan ate. The more animal protein they consumed, the more incidences of cancer and heart disease. Nancy made me a kale smoothie with pears, almond milk and mint leaves. It was green, but so is spumoni ice cream, so I imbibed and it was divine. As a dyed-in-the-wool chocoholic, I found the truffles excellent, just right for her theme, “A Day in the Life of a Raw Vegan Chocoholic.” Her boys, Sam (11) and

Isaac (9), get two thirds of the recommended daily protein and iron from a plant-based diet before they leave in the morning. Husband Paul isn’t quite there yet, but the boys are on board 100 percent. They asked for helpings of the smoothie during my visit. Visiting Nancy Illman’s Wyoming home is like going into a charmed atmosphere. I mean, how does one have a husband, two boys, a dog and a cat, paint, draw, play the violin and viola, sing and dance, be a bundle of energy, and still exude a feeling of calm? The secret is Suki Reiki and plant-based nutrition. Suki is a Japanese name meaning "beloved.” Reiki

energy healing is a traditional Japanese practice of therapeutic relaxation using gentle touch to help restore optimal energy flow. Reiki means “Universal Life Force.” Nancy has devoted a lot of work to the study of healing and nutrition. Put everything together, and viola, you have CALM. Says Nancy, “The antidote to stress is stress management.” Just watch a person’s pets to know what the owner is about. Even Nancy’s pets are calm. Nancy’s dog is named Suki Reiki. She is a lab mix that the family adopted while Nancy was training to be a healing practitioner. Suki was rescued two years ago with a horrible heart worm affliction.She greeted me at the door as dogs are wont to do, snuggled next to me, made friends and never once barked. Now, that is a beautifully natured dog. After making me welcome, she lay under the kitchen table and calmly listened to the umpteenth nutrition lesson from Nancy. Oliver the cat, with his

camouflage patterned fur begged to come in to see who was visiting. He said hello and went about his business in typical cat fashion. Nancy is scheduling nutrition workshops for what she terms “Rushing Women’s Syndrome.” Go to her website (nancyillman.vpweb.com /About-Us

Chabot challengers admit race ‘over’ Democrat still looks for a 'Hail Mary Gannett News Service Democrat Jeff Sinnard calls his “run” for U.S. Congress more of a “stand.” He’s not knocking on doors, nor ringing potential supporters on the phone or collecting donations to represent Ohio’s 1st Congressional District. He has no staff, and as of mid-September, no website. In fact, seven weeks before election day, over lunch at the Brew House in Walnut Hills, Sinnard says “the election is already over.” “A real politician wasn’t interested in (running this race), so the (Democratic) party asked me to put my name on the ballot,” says the 49-yearold engineer and West Price Hill resident. “There’s got to be a name on the ballot – if it’s got to be me, it’s got to be me.” Sinnard – and two thirdparty candidates – will challenge incumbent Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) this fall. Chabot, 60, has held the seat for the better part of two decades, except for the first two years of President Barack Obama’s term, when he lost to Democrat Steve Driehaus. Sinnard calls beating Chabot “a pipedream” given redistricting this year, something that occurs once every 10 years based on U.S. Census population counts. Ohio’s population didn’t

grow at the rate of other states over the last decade, and will loss two seats in Congress beginning in 2013. Therefore Ohio had to redraw its congressional districts, and because Republicans hold the majority of seats in the Ohio General Assembly, the plan was led last winter by the GOP. Republicans now have an 8-percentage point edge in the district upon examination of votes in 2008 and 2010 elections, according to the partisan index calculated by the nonpartisan Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting. The redistricting bumped the Republican index from 47.7 percent to 56 percent. Chabot’s top priorities include reducing government spending and growing the economy by supporting efforts to simplify the country’s tax code, remove “unnecessary regulation on business” and repeal the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s health care law. As chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, Chabot believes America should be

more aggressive when dealing with national security. “We shouldn’t have headed for the exit doors in Iraq,” Chabot said. “Obama’s attitude has been and continues to be that the United States was the problem ... That was his apology tour. It will do great damage to the United States over the long term.” Sinnard couldn’t disagree more. He first got involved in politics when the United States invaded Iraq and calls that war a “total mistake” and one of many international conflicts initiated by the United States for greedy self interest and not global diplomacy. Sinnard’s platform mostly matches Obama’s goals, he said. He likes the Affordable Care Act, though he would have preferred a single-payer system. He promises compromise with Republican counterparts in order to move the country forward. He supports comprehensive immigration reform that would allow immigrants into the country who meet minimum requirements and is also in favor of simplifying the federal tax code. Sinnard plans to share his platform at candidate forums this fall but considers mailed literature a waste. “It sure would say something if I won without any money,” Sinnard said. “I’m still looking around for a way to propel myself, a Hail Mary.”

What’s in a name? If you want to be the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts, name recognition could make the difference in the Nov. 6 election. Both Tracy Winkler and Pamula Thomas realize that. Winkler, the Republican incumbent appointed to the job last year, is a member of a politically prominent family; her Democratic challenger is the wife of a Cincinnati Councilman. “I recognize that I’m blessed to have that name. I hope that it does help,” Winkler said. She is the wife of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Ralph “Ted” Winkler, sister-in-law to Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Winkler and daughter-in-law to retired Judge Ralph Winkler, Sr. Her mother-in-law, longtime state representative Cheryl Winkler, died in July. Winkler “is a strong name but I also have somewhat of a name in the city,” said Thomas, wife of Cin-

cinnati Councilman Cecil Thomas. “What I’m hoping people will do is not play the name game but look at the most qualified individual.” Thomas believes that’s her because she has more than a decade of experience in the court system, nine as a bailiff starting in the early 1980s. She also has a background in business and customer service at Cincinnati Public Schools. The Clerk of Courts office accepts, files, and maintains court documents for Municipal, Common Pleas, Appeals and Domestic Relations courts. Its other responsibilities range from accepting payments for parking tickets to issuing car titles and passports to serving summonses to appear in court. Thomas wants an independent audit of the office to see which of its policies work or needs change. “I think it needs to be more efficient,” Thomas

said. “Maybe not in the staff. It may be in the filings” of court documents. Winkler noted her office has seen the number of employees fall from 350 a few years ago to 214. She notes the office budget of $11 million this year is projected, at this time, to decrease by $1.6 million for 2013. “We have critical documents that we’re dealing with. Those can be compromised if we lose any more staff,” Winkler said. Instead, she is looking for ways for her office to make more money. When she was appointed, that office concluded negotiations with bail bond agents who owed the county money from years ago. Her office collected more than $1.5 million from those agents or their insurance companies. “It will forever change how bond agents do business in Hamilton County. They will never owe us money. That’s smart government,” Winkler said.

Fire department checks equipment By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Sharonville City Council members heard reports from several city departments during its Oct. 9 meeting. » The fire department reported that fire hose testing has been completed, with 15,000 feet, or 2.84 miles of hose being examined. A possible manufacturing defect was discovered in 25 sections of hose. That hose was removed from service and sent back to the manufacturer for testing, according to department officials. Fall hydrant checks have been completed, along with triage, sprinkler systems, ladder and pump operations and trailer training. Annual ladder testing has been completed, in cooperation with the North East Fire Collaborative, bringing about 50 percent in savings n the cost of the testing, according to fire

officials. » The Sharonville Health Department held its first public flu clinic Sept. 18, with more than 220 vaccinations administered. The department held mini flu clinics Oct. 3 and Oct. 10, and plans a third clinic from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 17. Details are available on the city’s website, www.sharonville.org, or by calling 588-3973. The department reported an increase of requests for vaccinations as the school year resumed in late August. “The (Princeton) school district has begun excluding children missing vaccinations, so this clinic has been very buddy,” Health Department officials reported.

Infrared steers STEM project with patience and persistence. “This project includes computer programming, engineering design and problem solving galore,” Lien said. “Ultimately, they have to get the underwater ROV (remote-operated vehicle) to do a figure eight.” The students had to use components of STEM: » Science of buoyancy and how to keep the robot stable in the water. It also uses Newton’s second law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.. » Technology of the controllers that send the infrared signals to the robot, causing it to move in a figure eight. » Engineering the design, determining what it looks like and why. » Math used in programming the robot. The project has posed challenges. “The hardest part is getting it to move,” Evan Grant, a senior, said. “You have to program the right speed,” Grant, of Springdale, said. “If it’s too fast, it will go out of control.”

It takes teamwork and STEM principles to make this school project float. A group of Princeton High School students have used science, technology, engineering and math to research, build, program and test water robotic vehicles. Engineering Your Future teacher Brian Lien applied for and received a $3,500 National Science Foundation grant for the WaterBotic program, designed to give hands-on experience in engineering design, information technology tools, and science concepts. The NSF curriculum is also designed to increase awareness of and interest in engineering and IT careers. The robots are made of LEGO components, among other robotic parts, using the NXT and LEGO Mindstorms software to program the robots to move in the water. The project also gave the students a chance to experience teamwork and work through problems

“The most fun part is figuring out how to make it go backwards and forward,” Garret Watts, a junior from Lincoln Heights, said. Sophomore Austin Snider, of Springdale, said it’s a trial-and-error process. “We have to keep adding on to the design,” Snider said, “figure out the problem, and solve it.” “Sometimes the redesign is frustrating when it doesn’t work,” Lien said. “But they keep trying,” he said. “It’s their persistence.” In the end, it’s worth it, senior David Spraul, of Evendale, said. “The best part is putting it in the water,” he said. “The thing you built is actually working. “It’s the accomplishment.” “Then, they start smiling,” Lien said. “Because it’s working.” The students will produce a video of the finished product and publish it online, at www.waterbotics.org. Though Princeton has participated in the water robotics program in the

Vikings look to finish strong By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com

SHARONVILLE — Injuries have taken their toll on the Princeton High School football team, but as the season winds down, head coach Gary Croley and company are starting to get players back into the right positions. “We’re just starting to come back out there with people in the right spots,” Croley said. For the first four games of the year, Princeton was forced to play without 11 starters — a blow that could derail any team’s season. And while things haven’t gone the Vikings (1-7) way in 2012, Croley and company are determined to finish the season strong. “We know we are a team that if we continue to just play together, if we continue to keep in mind we are here to play Princeton football and we are here to get better every week, then we are a competitive team,” Croley said. They earned their first win of the season with a 48-6 week seven win over Hamilton Oct. 5. In week eight, Princeton pushed heavily favored Sycamore to the limit before falling by one in overtime.

Croley knows injuries are part of the game, but the Vikings have been hit particularly hard. Injuries left an already thin depth chart even thinner as the Vikings’ second-year head coach was forced to rush six to sophomores a game into action. Consider that in games against GMC rivals, such as Oak Hills, Lakota West and Sycamore, the Vikings actually held a halftime lead. But by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the Vikings didn’t have the gas to finish. “We have lots of guys going both ways...there was no one else to put in for someone,” Croley said. It was a tough situation for the players because Croley said he wasn’t just asking his team for one more play; He needed an entire quarter. As the Vikings get set to put another season in the books, the program can go into 2013 knowing it has some nice talent to work around next fall. At quarterback, junior Tyrell Gilbert has shown potential at quarterback after winning the job this summer. Through week eight, Blevins is third in the GMC with 781 pass-

ing yards. Gilbert’s also rushed for 592 yards and leads the Vikings with eight total touchdowns. Croley’s also been impressed with the play of juniors Halen Witcher (WR/DB) and Tracy Fomby (RB/LB), as well as sophomores Sean Cook (CB), Elijah Harris (DL) and Allen Clay (RB). The season has also afforded Croley and his coaching staff the opportunity to show the squad how football mirrors the ebbs and flows of real life. “We’ve been using each week as a teaching tool…You may not be able to do it 100 percent, but you better get it done. You may be gassed and winded, but your family and co-workers may need one more out of you,” Croley said. “These are thing that we are still trying to instill in the kids now that will carry over a lifetime.” And while the team’s record wasn’t what many were hoping for, Croley is proud of the way his team’s played. “You don’t see teams continue to get better as the season goes on. Lots of teams plateau out and struggle to the end, but our kids take pride in what they’re doing and I want to commend them as well as the coaching staff,” he said.

Thoresen cowboys up to state By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING — For the second straight year, another Thoresen from Wyoming appeared in the Ohio state tennis tournament records. Last season, it was Tess Thoresen teaming with doubles partner Ashley Berg. Now, with Tess at the University of Virginia, her younger sister Haley Thoresen made it north with her racquet. “She’s one of 16 girls in Division II singles,” Wyoming girls coach Bob Caress said. “She is a sophomore. That bodes well for Wyoming’s future and her future for a couple of years. She’s played

some really good matches this year.” In Columbus, Thoresen won her first round match, but lost to My Linh of Columbus DeSales 6-3, 6-2 in the second round. The rest of the Cowboys crew weren’t as fortunate, but still had successful seasons. Senior Meredith Hennessy lost in the district tourney in singles, with seniors Ashley Berg and Maddie Boster falling doubles. Ashley Berg had mainly been a singles player in the Cincinnati Hills League, with Hennessy often pairing with Boster in first doubles. The switches were made for the postseason.

“We came close to getting more people (to state),” Caress said. “It was a really, really good year for a lot of folks on our team.” Sophomore Rachel Berg and junior Ellen Koesterman were Wyoming’s 10-3 second doubles team that could step up next season. The Cowboys will also have Maddie Boster, Madison Bourbon and Camille Wilson back for another year. Where they wind up in the Wyoming lineup in 2013 is anybody’s guess. Bob Caress gets with his son and assistant, Robert (also the Princeton boys coach), to determine the appropriate chemistry.

“They all start out playing singles challenge matches and that sort of places the team,” Caress said. “Many play USTA tournaments year ‘round and that’s singles-structured. USTA doubles is an afterthought.” The coach’s goals with Wyoming was to have fun and compete with class and those things were accomplished at season’s end. “It was great,” Caress said. “It’s been fun. Obviously girls are a little bit different than boys. Robert and I kind of play off each other. I’m a little more ‘old school’. He relates to them a little better. Between the two of us, we get the job done. We’re looking forward to doing it again.”

KENWOOD — Coming off the second-lowest Cincinnati East sectional score ever with four Crusaders at 291, Moeller golf coach Rick Bohne hoped to duplicate the effort at Ohio State’s Scarlet course. In high school golf, it’s all about peaking at the right time. “I think the last couple of weeks of the regular season and certainly the sectional and districts was some of the best golf we played,” Bohne said. “They don’t hand out any awards in August.” In 26 years of coaching, Bohne has been to the state tournament 16 times now. That’s three individuals and 13 teams. “Funny thing is, you remember the ones that were close,” Bohne said. “They still bug me.” This year’s squad was led by senior Andrew Benza, a first-team Greater Catholic League-South selection. “He tied for medal in the sectional and was tied for second in the district,” Bohne said. Just behind Benza has been fellow senior Matthew Wetherill and another senior Mason Eckley. “Those two kids (Benza and Wetherill) have been our anchors all year,” Bohne said. “We’ve had other guys play well. Mason Eckley is our most experienced. He was at state

two years ago with that team.” As Eckley can attest to, the Jack Nicklaus-designed course can be a bear. Along with bunkers, crooks, crannies and creeks, Mother Nature also comes into play. “It plays different, according to the weather conditions,” Bohne said. “It’s hard to begin with. You’ve got to have the ideal day. They put the pins in tough spots. You have to put it center of the green most of the time.” With two left-handers on the team, Evan Probst and Quinn Sullivan, Bohne had hoped to solve any angle by weather or by course design. At the end of day one Oct. 19, Moeller was fourth. Senior Wetherill shot 79, sophomore Sullivan had an 80, senior Benza 81, and senior Probst 82. However, senior Eckley faltered with a 92. Oct. 20 didn’t go any bet-

ter for the Crusaders with some wind and light rain. Their combined score was 335, compared to 322 on day one. In the end, Bohne’s bunch finished seventh. Bohne figured the favorites going in to be Dublin Jerome, the defending champ, Dublin Coffman, New Albany and Mason. He was correct on three of those as Jerome won the title again, with Coffman third and New Albany fourth. Many good schools don’t even make it. St. Xavier wasn’t in, nor was Cleveland St. Ignatius. Again, it’s when schools peak, according to Bohne. “The two best teams this year that won probably 90 percent of the tournaments we played in were Upper Arlington and Pickerington North and neither one of them made it,” he said. He has seen players go both ways over the years, but never tires of the experience in Columbus.

Where do I stand? Call and ask Are you frustrated with the quality of today’s politicians Do you agree that we are constantly being disappointed by politicians who don’t live up to their promises? Are you weary of the lies, smears, and distortions that qualify as political discourse in our country? We deserve better, and we should demand better as voters. Connie Pillich and her friends in Columbus have been flooding mailboxes with scare tactic attacks falsely claiming that I want to “phase out” Social Security and Medicare. They want you to believe that I would hang seniors out to dry. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I believe that those who retired count on those programs to be there for them. Our mothers, fathers and grandparents Mike Wilson COMMUNITY PRESS made a series of life decisions GUEST COLUMNIST based on these programs being around. We absolutely must meet our promises to our seniors. So why is Connie Pillich resorting to scaring our seniors in this race? Why is she talking about issues that state representatives don’t deal with? Barack Obama gave us some insight in his 2008 nomination

acceptance speech, “If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use scare tactics to scare the voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone you should run from. You make a big election about small things.” I understand why Connie Pillich would run away from her record. It is horrible. She voted “yes on” the 2010-2011 biennial budget that increased spending by $10 billion and left Ohio facing an $8 billion deficit. (128th GA – H.B. 1). That budget contained a $700 million tax on hospitals and hundreds of fee increases. Later that year, she voted to increase income taxes on Ohioans retroactive to the beginning of the year.

In her current term, she voted against the balanced budget (H.B. 153) that is beginning to put Ohio back on the right track. Because of Ohio’s dire financial situation, local and state government had to tighten their belts, and this was a direct consequence of Pillich and her party’s decisions in 2009-2010. Complaining about the tough decisions that needed to be made doesn’t solve the problem. We deserve a government of sound policy – not sound bites. I got involved in politics a few years ago in spite of my aversion to its darker nature because the stakes were too high. I knew when getting involved that I would open myself to scurrilous attacks, but I made

Putting needs of community first

This election is about who can provide the people of Ohio with the best long-term legislative solutions to the challenges we face as we continue our state’s recovery from the Great Recession. To be successful, our legislators must work together – regardless of party affiliation. Irresponsible hyper-partisanship is not in the best interests of our great State, her people, or her industries. The Cincinnati Enquirer agrees with my focus on working across the aisle. In its endorsement of me, the Enquirer describes me as a “mature, reasonable voice who is able to accomplish things even though she is in the minority.” When I was in the Air Force, I learned to work with all sorts of different people. I didn’t care if they were Democratic or Republican. I only cared if they did their job. I took this same ethic

with me to the State House. I built relationships on both sides. And it worked. In fact, in my first term, 80 percent of my bills Connie Pillich COMMUNITY PRESS received bipartisan support. GUEST COLUMNIST I worked with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to craft common sense, long-term solutions. Because it doesn’t matter to me who introduces a bill, so long as we pass good law. My opponent, who founded the Cincinnati Tea Party, takes an irresponsible, shortsighted approach. His plan to eliminate the state income tax could force cuts to veteran’s services, education, police, and fire fighters. The schools in my district alone would lose $38 million a year. His ideas are extreme and destruc-

tive. His hyper-partisanship will not help us continue our recovery from the Great Recession. For our state to prosper we need good schools, an educated workforce, reliable infrastructure, and low business tax rates. We also need to revise cumbersome regulations and maintain our good quality of life. As your representative, I introduced or supported legislation to give Ohioans the first crack at state contracts, hire veterans, and encourage businesses to set up shop in our first ring suburbs. Rest assured, I will continue my efforts to restore lost funding for our schools, fix the school funding formula, and make Ohio competitive in the 21st Century. I support investing in advanced manufacturing and our growing energy industries. We also need a balanced budget. I voted against $5 billion in spending increases. I voted to cut my own pay. I’ll continue the

fight to cut spending and to ease the burden on seniors, the middle class, and local property tax payers. To help me be better informed, I’ve personally visited over 25,000 homes in our district and I’ve held open meetings every month since taking office. As a veteran, I am a passionate and tireless advocate for veterans’ issues, including housing, child custody, and employment. Our teachers, firefighters, and police have all endorsed me. They know I will continue to work with members of both political parties to get things done. If you send me back to Columbus, I’ll continue to put the needs of our community first. Connie Pillich is running for reelection for state representative in Ohio’s 28th District. She lives in Montgomery.

a pledge to myself that I will do more than speak in bumper sticker slogans, that I would tackle the difficult issues, and I would be open and honest about where I stand. I believe in this so strongly that I have shared my cell phone number in mailers, on door hangers, on radio, and right here – (513) 494-OH28 (6428). Don’t believe the spin from my opponent. If you want to know where I stand on any issue, just give me a call. Mike Wilson is the Republican candidate for state representative in Ohio’s 28th District. He lives in Springfield Township.

Election letters policy The deadline for letters to the editor about candidates and issues on the Nov. 6 ballot is noon Friday, Oct. 26, for publication Oct. 31. The only letters that will run in the Oct. 31 edition are those which respond directly to previously published letters or columns. Letters should be 300 words or shorter. We will publish as many letters as space allows, and that we can confirm. All election-related columns and letters will be posted at Cincinnati.com. E-mail letters and columns to tricountypress@communitypress.com. Include your name, community and a daytime phone number.

CH@TROOM Oct. 17 question Have you watched and will you watch the presidential and vice presidential debates? How will the debates affect your decisions?

“Yes, I have watched a little of the debates. It is a tough thing to watch right before a person is trying to fall asleep at night. “I am not thrilled with the lack of presidential behavior by both candidates. They seem to set on bashing each other and trying to convince the public that the other guy is wrong and I am right. This type of behavior sums up what is wrong with today's government and its leaders. We have become a nation of red and blue states. Elected officials vote in line with their party not necessarily what is best for the nation or what the majority they represent want. Compromise is the key. I have been a long time admirer of Olympia Snowe. She said it best, 'Public service is a most honorable pursuit and so is bipartisanship.’” M.A. Huculak “I am watching the debates, but I have already made my mind up on who I will vote for. I am curious to see if Obama can debate without a teleprompter. In the last debate he looked totally lost.” D.D. “Yes I have, and yes I shall.

NEXT QUESTION What is the scariest movie you ever saw or scariest book you ever read? What made it so scary? Every week the Tri-County Press asks readers a question they can reply to via email. Send your answers to tricountypress@community press.com with Chatroom in the subject line.

My decision was made years ago to dump the socialist poseur president!” J.G. “Yes, I have watched them. I have been watching the conduct of the president and vice president since they were installed in their offices in 2009, so I am quite aware of why I feel the way I do about them. “My mind was made up long ago and everything I've seen and heard in the last few months because of the campaign merely reinforces my views, and thus, the debates will only affirm my opinion. “Frankly, it surprises me that anyone who has not been in a coma for four years could not have made up their mind already.” Bill B. “I am watching the debates, more out of curiosity than anything else. I already voted for Romney, basically because he at least has an outside chance of

getting us out of this mess our economy is in. It is in a hole and it is pretty clear that Obama will just keep digging, with neverending spending and more and more debt.” T.H. “I watched the first two, and they were certainly eye openers! “Romney was articulate and informed with the presence to make an impressive president, something I haven't seen portrayed until now. “Joe Biden looked like a lunatic, laughing at questions about Iran, Lebanon and a host of other very serious topics. I'm guessing that the Jewish population, both here and in Israel, don't find any of it funny. They're under constant threat, and most likely never go to bed at peace. And this man is one step from being president in a crisis? “He was rude, condescending, and should be ashamed of himself. He wasn't even polite to the moderator, shaking his finger at her and shouting, and interrupting to the point that she lost control, not to mention making it very difficult to listen to what Paul Ryan had to say. It looked like a smoke screen to me. “What was sad was the fact that I watched with the intention of becoming more informed, and I was assaulted with a president who seemed to care less

about being there and listening to the answers rather than repeating the same non-relative statements over and over. Maybe his teleprompter was missing!” J.K. “Yes, I watched the first two. I will not watch the rest. I don't need too. My decision has been made for quite some time and the debates will not affect my decision. Anyone that is still indecisive about how they will vote hasn't been paying attention.” J.S.K. “I watched the first presidential debate, and I may watch the second. It won't affect how I vote. I just watch in incredulous fascination as Mitt Romney tries to lie his way to the presidency and present a tax plan

that is mathematically impossible (although maybe using some of the new Cayman Island math it could work). “Also, I enjoy watching him play a sincerely empathetic person, especially since if he gets elected his policies will help decimate the poor, the elderly, veterans, students along with teachers, police and firemen. “It is sort of like watching the devil dress up in a Christian empathy costume for Halloween. Entertaining, interesting, yet at the core, manipulative and evil.” I.P. “I've watched most of the previous two debates, but even though my mind is already made up I plan to watch the remaining debates.

Spooky treats for your Halloween parties

Computer, TV dropoff closes Oct. 31

The grandkids this year are excited about Halloween. Luke is going to be Pac Man, Will is a special forces soldier, Jack is a stormtrooper and Eva is her favorite bird, a blue macaw. Little Emerson, 3 months, hasn’t “deRita cided” what Heikenfeld she’ll be RITA’S KITCHEN but I’m sure Mom Courtney will dress her for the occasion. I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of popcorn balls and am sharing my favorites, along with other fun recipes for Halloween.

My favorite do-ahead crunchy vanilla marshmallow popcorn balls

⁄4 cup light corn syrup ⁄4 cup butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 22⁄3 cups confectioners’ sugar 1 cup mini marshmallows Orange food coloring (optional) 3

Set aside: 20 cups popped corn placed in sprayed bowl (I used three bags microwave salted popcorn)

CE-0000525758

Pour liquid over popcorn, quickly coating popcorn. Spray hands. Form into balls. Store covered at room temperature. Tips from Rita’s kitchen When making anything that has a sticky coating, spray everything: the spatula, the bowl, your hands. Homemade microwave popcorn: Put 1⁄4 cup popcorn in a brown paper bag. Fold top over a few times and secure. Place folded side up for 2 to 3 minutes

Rita’s easy popcorn balls have a vanilla marshmallow coating. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. or until there is 5 seconds between pops. Remove unpopped kernels before making treats: Put popped corn into colander and unpopped kernels will sink to the bottom. That way no one will break a tooth, or worse, by biting into something with a hard kernel.

Meat face cheese ball

For the adult party!

Favorite cheese ball recipe, enough to fill mask (check out my video on my blog for a good one) 1 skeleton-like Halloween face mask 1 pound very thinly sliced prosciutto or other deli meat, cut into small pieces 2 slices pimento-stuffed green olives

Line mask with plastic wrap. Layer lunch meat all around. Press cheese ball mixture into mold and make sure you press firmly so that you fill the mold. Refrigerate until firm. Unmold and remove wrap. Place olives in for eyes. Serve with crudités or crackers.

l cup creamy peanut butter ⁄3 cup water 2 eggs l box chocolate cake mix Popsicle sticks SugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together peanut butter, water and eggs. Add cake mix and blend. Form into l1⁄2-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Push in a Popsicle stick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie. Press fork into dough to form whiskers on either side of nose. Bake l0-l2 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately add candy corn eyes and red-hot nose. Makes about 2-3 dozen.

Holmes High School hot rolls for Linda J., a Northern Kentucky reader. “My lunch in the 1960s when I went there was usually a hot roll and butter. I’ve never tasted another hot roll like theirs. It was big, round and just thick enough to slice in half and butter both sides. It wasn’t like a biscuit, it had some texture to it.” Iron Horse bread pudding and Otto’s tomato pie. Nancy, from Finneytown, says the bread pudding “is the absolute best” and she would also like to make Cathy’s tomato pie from Otto’s. “Truly divine.” Still looking for: Salsa like Remke-bigg’s Three-pound onion-rye bread like Wiedeman’s

Use a natural popcorn or one that just contains salt. Out of all my recipes, these are the favorite with both the kids and adults. They taste like the kind of gourmet popcorn balls you buy at the mall. Crunchier than the recipe for Jell-O popcorn balls, which is on my blog, popcorn balls are good keepers for at least a week. If you like add some chopped salted nuts, candies, etc., do so before pouring on the coating. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until marshmallows melt:

Check road status before buying home

homeowners can go after in order to pave the roads themselves. Heim said that’s led to a decrease in the home values there. “I know of a family that would like to move and they don’t even put it up for sale because they know until the roads are fixed it’s going to be tough,” Heim said. At this point there are several patches on the streets, along with other areas in dire need of patching. The cost of putting down the final coat of paving is pegged at around $50,000. The homeowners association is talking about a special assessment to see if they can raise the money to pay for the final paving. If you’re in the market for a home, check the roads to make sure you know whether or not they are public or private.

That failure even extends to the streets in some areas. Howard Deb Ain Heim moved into HEY HOWARD! the Monte Vista subdivision in Green Township eight years ago. She has a landominium in which the homeowners association takes care of the grounds outside her house. “We pay a monthly fee that covers all the mowing, snow removal, lawn care, maintenance, that type of thing,” Heim said. While gardening is covered by a homeowners association in a landominium, snow removal usually is not. That’s normally done by the city or township. But in this subdivision the roads were not able to be built according to code, so they could not be dedicated and taken over by the township. “When Ameritek built here, the road that came up the hill, it’s not wide enough and the pitch is wrong so it has to be a private drive,” Heim said. In addition, during the downturn in the economy, the developer sold the project to another company before doing the final street paving. The new company has yet to put on the final coating. There are nine vacant lots in the subdivision and the new developer is promising once they are all sold he’ll have the money to pave the streets. Since this is a private street, the developer was not required to post a bond, so there’s no money the

Local Jewish women leaders travel to New York From Sept. 10-Sept. 12, more than 1,700 Jewish women, including 16 from Cincinnati, gathered in New York City for the Jewish Federations of North America’s International Lion of Judah Conference. Created in 1972, the Lion of Judah program – for Jewish women who donate at least $5,000 to their local Community Campaign – brings together more than 17,500 women of all ages and many walks of life to play an essential role in creating social justice, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, preserving human dignity and building Jewish charity. For this year’s conference, Cincinnati sent its largest contingent ever. In attendance at the conference were Jewish Federation of Cincinnati Past Presidents Beth Guttman (Montgomery) and Kim Heiman (Amberley Vil-

lage); board members Marcie Bachrach (Blue Ash), Deborah Brant (Amberley Village), Fran Fisher Coleman (Blue Ash), Suzette Fisher (Amberley Village), Nina Paul (Montgomery) and Abby Schwartz (Hyde Park); volunteers Evelyn Fisher (Amberley Village), Michelle Kohn (Loveland), Ronna Schneider (Amberley Village), Julie Shifman, Sarah Wise (Montgomery) and Marilyn Zemboch (Montgomery); and professionals Barb Miller (Montgomery), Danielle Minson (Columbia-Tusculum) and Lindsey Wade (Montgomery). Fisher and Schneider were the local recruitment chairs for the conference. Jewish Federation Development Director Dan-

ielle Minson said, “It was inspiring to be surrounded by so many amazing Jewish women. What was even more inspiring was to watch those 1,700 women pledge a total of $27 million to address the needs in their individual communities!” Fisher was also named a winner of the prestigious Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland Award, which recognizes extraordinary women who have set a high standard for philanthropy and volunteerism in their community. Criteria for the award

include exhibiting leadership in the Federation system; making a significant impact in the local Jewish community, in Israel and abroad; using leadership in creative ways to address community challenges and issues; displaying initiative in the areas of philanthropy and/or volunteerism and setting a standard for others in the community; and giving other women encouragement, motivation and opportunity to take a leadership role in philanthropy and Jewish community involvement. The award was established

in recognition of Norma Kipnis Wilson and Toby Friedland, founders of the Lion of Judah Society. Sessions were offered on such varied topics as intermarriage, the glass ceiling in Israel’s high-tech sector, the intergenerational impact of Birthright Israel, teen leaders, Jewish overnight camps, social entrepreneurship and Gen X and Millennial approaches to Jewish engagement. On Tuesday morning, Sept. 11, attendees also observed the national moment of silence, heard from speakers with unique

perspectives on coping with tragedy and participated in the 9/11 National Day of Service by assembling care packages for people in need. The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati develops and connects leaders, contributors, organizations and ideas to build an inclusive Jewish community that helps people in need, supports Israel, and assures a vibrant Jewish future.

Jewish Family Service hosts annual meeting

“Things are going extremely well at Jewish Family Service. We continue to touch lives in ways that other Jewish agencies cannot. And we continue to improve every month and every day,” said Michael Schwartz, president of the board at the Jewish Family Service 68th annual meeting July 19 at Rockdale Temple Chapel in Amberley Village. “My life philosophy is all about improvement. No matter how big or small the improvement, just keep getting better,” he said. Schwartz then pointed to several ways Jewish Family Service has improved over the past year. These included revenues being up 19 percent, the expansion of programs to help more people in our community, the increased involvement of board members and management not accepting the status quo to push the agency to improve. Executive Director Beth Schwartz focused on Jewish Family Service being the “doing” organization in the community, and having an approachable, serious and caring staff to do the necessary work. She said, “We are approachable. We can do what we do because our clients know we are tolerant of all situations. By being approachable, anyone can feel comfortable asking for our personal and professional guidance through life’s challenges. “We are serious. We are serious about what we do. And we deal with serious issues including homelessness, infertility, domestic violence, unplanned pregnancy, hunger, elder victimization, successful parenting, mentoring, bullying, chronic illness, caregiving and mental illness. “We are caring. We care about what we do. We care about the forgotten, the challenged, the disconnected, the alone. We care about results and using measurable or trackable metrics to prove how we exceeded our targets to strengthen our community. “Our staff is not afraid to roll up our sleeves and do whatever it takes to make sure one day our community will benefit from the Jewish Family Service vision of leading the way to a Jewish community where everyone lives with dignity, security and hope.” She also praised the superb leadership of the board of directors and

Group stands against falls The Hamilton County Fall Prevention Task Force educates and facilitates resource sharing between groups that work with older adults. As 10,000 baby boomers across the country turn 65 every day, the need to educate older adults about fall prevention is critical. The Fall Prevention Task Force recommends five simple ways to protect yourself or a loved one from falling: 1. Increase your physical activity. Simple exercise like walking or swimming at least 15 minutes-aday can help build muscle strength and improve balance, which can prevent

falls. Exercise programs like Tai Chi that increase strength and improve balance are especially good. 2. See your eye doctor once each year. Age-related eye diseases, such as cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, can increase the risk of falling. Early detection is key to minimizing the effects of these conditions. 3. Review your medications. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the medicines you are taking and whether they may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Discuss things you can do to ensure you are taking your medicines

safely. 4. Remove environmental hazards. Look around the house for anything that could increase the risk of falls, including poor lighting, loose rugs, slippery floors, lack of handrails and unsteady furniture. Remove or modify these hazards. 5. Think, plan and slow down. Many falls are caused by hurrying. Slow down and think through the task you are performing. Be mindful of possible falls risks and act accordingly. For more information , contact Michael Tomes at michael.tomes @hamilton-co.org.
