at this year’s fish fry. Barbara Broerman, owner of the Dairy Corner and fish fry organizer, said the event has been successful in recent years due mostly to volunteers helping run the fish fry. Several years ago, the Little Miami Fire and Rescue Joint District ran the event,

but it took them away from their responsibilities. Broerman said any residents who would like to lend a hand would be welcomed. “We’d be glad to have them,” she said. “It goes smoothly if I have enough volunteers.” As in years past, the Fire District will receive 50 percent of the profits from the
fish fry. Assistant Chief Terry Ramsey said the Fire District typically uses the money to buy equipment or training, but never use it for operational costs. “We feel it goes back into the community,” he said. Ramsey noted that by next year’s fish fry the Fire District will have moved into its new station in Newtown. He said he’s unsure to
what degree firefighters will be involved in the event. “Hopefully, the village will continue to have the fish fry and we’ll support them however we can,” he said. For more information on your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/newtown.

ington Community Council, said funding could go toward replacing a section of the fence. Under consideration is a gateway entrance at the corner of Mears Avenue and Morrow. This design element would stand on its own, said board member Jo Ann Kavanaugh. “This would give it a visual aesthetic,” said Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh said replacing this section of fence will cost about $4,000. Williams said about $11,000 in Neighborhood Enhancement Program funding is available. Other projects funding is going toward includes the installation of security cameras in the business district and historic signage. While council proceeds with the Neighborhood Enhancement Program projects, other community projects are being re-evaluated because of city cuts to the Neighborhood Support Program funding given to Cincinnati communities. The Neighborhood Support Program funding this year was reduced from $5,000 to $2,500. The Mt. Washington Community Council will likely discuss the impact of these cuts at its March meeting. “If money doesn’t come through (we’re) looking at alternative ways to fund items,” said Williams. The March meeting will be Wednesday, March 16 , at the Mt. Washington Recreation Center, 1715 Beacon St. For more about your community visit www.cincinnati.com/ mountwashington
