Loveland moves forward on fire sprinkler program Chuck Gibson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Loveland City Council approved a fire sprinkler installation assistance program in late October. A fire sprinkler system could have saved one, or even all, of the buildings damaged in the May 2017 fire in Historic Downtown Loveland.

The program is meant to incentivize owners of existing commercial, office and industrial structures by waiving of city permit, inspection and water connection fees for the installation of fire sprinkler systems.

“The city is very appreciative of the businesses that have chosen to be in Loveland,” said Mayor Kathy Bailey.

“We are pleased to offer this program as a means to protect their investments, with the added bonus of potentially preserving historic structures in our city and protecting our firefighters.”

Safety benefits are the No. 1 reason for installing fire sprinkler systems in any building. Preserving older existing commercial, office and industrial structures in the Historic Downtown District, West Loveland Business district, and the industrial park through the addition of fire sprinkler systems is a clear benefit to the city by offering this installation assistance program.

The Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge is decked to the nines for the holidays. They’re calling it “Miracle at The Overlook Lodge.” PHOTOS BY ANDREA CRUIKSHANK/THE ENQUIRER

A pocket-sized holiday date night in Pleasant Ridge Andrea Reeves Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Pleasant Ridge might seem pocketsized for a night out on the town.

But look closer. There's a wine bar and craft beer brewery. There's old favorites, like the Gaslight Cafe, Pleasant Ridge Chili and Molly Malone's, which caught fire earlier this year along with Coffee Exchange, but is currently under reconstruction.

There's excellent food everywhere: tacos and Latin-American at Casa Figueroa and Tacos Locos food truck, top-notch pub food, a cheese bar and a delectable rotisserie chicken joint (Revolution Rotisserie).

All with unique atmosphere and offerings.

And of course, there's an iconic Cincinnati record store.

Even on a Saturday night, the crowds were not overwhelming (like they can be on a Saturday in awesomebut-super-popular OTR). Just enough people were hanging out in Pleasant Ridge on our date night to create a lively atmosphere, but with ample elbow room.

It's also one of those places where spending enough nights out there means you're bound to make friends.

As one bartender told us this evening, in Pleasant Ridge, everyone knows everyone.

Everybody's Records The bill: Browsing is free.

Leafing through the vast record collection at this 40-year-old establishment makes for good conversationstarting material. The shop boasts a big used vinyl selection, which is particularly fun to browse with someone. Especially if you're on a first date, a record store gives nervous hands something to do – and music can be quite a bond-

appetizer we were seeking. It was half of our meal. We let the guy behind the counter expertly choose our cheese: Teehive cheddar, Humboldt goat cheese and Idiazabal sheep's milk cheese, served with little red Peruvian sweet peppers, Castelvetrano olives, a grainy mustard and a smear of preserves.

We polished it off with glasses of Rioja and strolled to my favorite part of the date.

screen instead of the bar's normal horror-movie selections. The bar staff was dressed up, too, in holiday T-shirts.

One was wearing a Grinch costume.

The holiday-themed cocktail menu was fit for the North Pole. I sipped a Yippie Ki Yay Mother F****r (best name for a cocktail ever?) – sweet potato, Barbados rum, cachaca, Trinidad Overproof rum, dry curacao, marshmallow orgeat and lime served in a Santa mug. He had a Jingle Bell Nog – cognac, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, brown butter, cinnamon, cherry, vanilla, almond milk, cream, sugar, egg and nutmeg. Both were unusual and tasty.

We enjoyed our festive drinks and split our attention between the live bluegrass band, the UC basketball game and "Jingle All the Way," which was playing on another screen.

Trivia every Tuesday night is a blast (I've been) and there's a regular live music lineup.

Then, we decided we'd finally finish our meal.

“We’re not handing out money, we’re waiving fees,” said City Manager David Kennedy. “Success would be preserving our architecture. We’re protecting our firefighters. Less fires, less wear and tear, safer fire department.”

Life safety is first and most important in installing fire sprinkler systems. That is the message Loveland Symmes Fire Department Chief Otto Huber wants to make clear with this assistance program from the city.

“Number one is life safety,” said Chief Huber. “Sprinklers will save lives.”

As Mayor Bailey noted, this comes with the bonus of preserving the historic structures and architecture of Loveland as well. Huber cites costs as a reason many of these buildings go unprotected against fire with no plan for fire sprinkler protection.

“It is not as much about putting the system in,” he said. “It’s the tap-in fees, and permit fees are sometimes half the cost of the system.”

Savings would vary for each owner based on the size of their building, but a 3,800-square-foot building would realize savings of over $24,000 in waived fees, according to the city manager. Kennedy noted waving those fees helped pave the way for fire sprinklers to be installed during reconstruction of Tano’s, the new Bishop’s Quarter, and Ramsey’s Trail-

But the star here for us was the food.

We were still satiated from all the cheese, so we shared a couple things: the drunken grilled cheese and the smoked brisket chili. Our neighbors at the bar let us sample their poutine. The grilled cheese was perfectly crunchy and buttery on the outside, with plenty of flavor and melty on the inside. The chili was smoky and unique, perfect for dunking the sandwiches. It was a lipsmackingly delicious way to end the night.

side. It led to a conversation with Chief Huber about creating the program to help the existing building owners.

“We’ll do our best,” said Kennedy.

“Hopefully people will jump on this.”

City of Loveland officials heard the outcry over development changing the look and feel of the community. Huber called this program “a step forward” toward the preservation of some of its older historic buildings for the future. Rules exist for good reason, but priorities aren’t right when those regulations prevent people and businesses who want to install fires sprinklers from installing those systems.

It was no accident Loveland Symmes firefighters saved the façade of the buildings damaged in the devastating Memorial Day fire nearly two years ago. There were no fire sprinklers protecting the inside. It was simply good fortune that everyone got out unharmed. The businesses have faced a prolonged recovery with some moving to other buildings and the building owners finding rebuilding a little slower than they hoped, A “Business Continuity” study shows 70 percent of businesses fail after a fire.

“People want to keep their business, keep their family, the best thing they can do is put in sprinklers,” said Chief Huber.

“It’s just that simple. Protected buildings are the absolute safest buildings firefighters can operate in. You can’t do more to a building to improve the safety of a firefighter than to put in fire sprinklers.”

Decadent chocolate-covered cherries will impress Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

It was a request from a reader I couldn’t refuse. “Help! I always make chocolate covered cherries for New Year’s and I lost your recipe. Do you still have it?” And the answer is…yes.

The first time I tasted these was when friend, Perrin Rountree, an Anderson Township reader, brought them to work during the holidays.

Easy to make, there’s just a bit of technique involved, which I’ve explained in detail.

Maybe you need just one more confection for that holiday dessert tray.

Or is it a hostess gift you’re looking for? Get ready to impress the lucky recipient.

And as we end the old year and segue into the new one, my prayer is that you finish the holidays with health and happiness, and start the New Year the same way.

Readers want to know Why is my layered peppermint bark separating?

A couple of reasons for this, the main one being that you need to use highquality bar chocolate, not morsels, for both white and dark layers.

White chocolate should contain cocoa butter, not palm kernel oil. Palm

kernel oil inhibits bonding of the dark chocolate and white layers. Don’t use “chocolate flavored” chocolate.

Score the bark after the second layer has become almost firm in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to cut after it's completely set.

Before cutting or breaking into pieces, let the layered bark set out just a few minutes. If it’s too cold, it may be too brittle to cut.

Check out Nancy Baggett’s excellent post on perfect peppermint bark and see my site for photos. (http://kitchenlane.com/2011/12/how-to-make-chocolate-peppermint-bark.html).

Any tips on getting everything on the table at the right temperature?

Hah, an age old dilemma! I learned

from Teri Gelter, daughter-in-law Courtney’s mom, to cook items that keep the heat in first, like pasta, potatoes, etc.

Wrap them in a couple layers of foil (spray the inside of the foil if the food is in a pan so it doesn’t stick to the food), then wrap the whole thing in a couple bath towels. It should stay warm for an hour or so, freeing stove top and oven space.

Baked potatoes can be wrapped in foil and then placed in a cooler lined with a bath towel.

Viewpoints Kenwood advisor: 5 strategies to maximize holiday giving Chris Flores Guest Columnist Community Press

Americans are increasingly generous, especially during the holiday season.

But the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 includes several changes that will impact your tax planning this year.

Of those, the increased standard deduction has many wondering what the impact on charitable giving will be.

The Giving USA 2017 report, which provides data, insights and trends that help inform fundraising strategies for many national nonprofit organizations, reports that Americans donated more than a record $410 billion to charities last year.

Beginning this year, new tax rules go into effect. Here are five giving strategies for maximizing charitable impact and tax planning: 1) Gift appreciated assets like stocks, ETFs and mutual funds. With markets doing well over the past few years, you may have investments with capital gains.

In lieu of giving cash, gift an equivalent value of shares. Neither you nor the intended charity pay tax on the gains; however, you receive a deduction for the fair market value. An added

benefit is that because of the growth, your gift doesn’t “cost” you as much as cash would.

2) Consider “bunching” giving. For those impacted by the new standard deduction who can no longer itemize charitable gifts, consider consolidating two years of giving into one. For example, defer 2018 gifts to 2019. You’ll realize the standard deduction this year and may be able to itemize next year.

3) Use your IRA for giving. Less common gifts are qualified charitable distributions from IRAs. Once you turn age 70.5 years old, the IRS requires minimum distributions (RMDs) from qualified retirement accounts. The IRS allows individuals to give RMDs directly to charities, up to $100,000 per year.

There’s no tax deduction for the gift, but you are also not taxed on the income.

Giving through your RMD can reduce taxable income, especially for those who cannot take the itemized deduction for a normal gift.

4) Donate your car. Donating a car is helpful for those on the border of using the standard deduction versus itemizing deductions. This year could be a good year to donate your car and obtain good value for your gift.

Consider donating to a local organization like Changing Gears, a nonprofit with a mission to provide affordable and reliable transportation for people

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

working their way out of poverty. Goodwill and St. Vincent De Paul are also great organizations for car donations.

5) Utilize a donor-advised fund.

Donor-advised funds provide a lowcost and private way to give. Contributions can be invested to help grow your giving impact. A donor-advised fund allows you to make your gift now and receive the upfront tax deduction; unlike giving directly to a charity, with a donor-advised fund you can delay giving to qualified charities until you are confident where you would like your money to go.

Before acting on any of these tips, consult with your tax advisor. Everyone’s situation is unique, and a trusted advisor can help you make the right giving decisions at the right time.

For more information about sociallyresponsible investing or to set up a donor-advised fund, contact Flores at Chris.Flores@ThreeCornersCapital.com or call 513-745-7014.

Leave the transfer tax alone Even the Holiday Season can’t stop more bad news for property owners. Not only are property taxes out of control, but now our County Commissioners are considering raising the property Transfer Tax by one third.

Presently, the seller of a home pays $300 per $100,000 of property sold. If the Commissioner’s follow through with the increase, the seller of property would pay $400 per $100,000.

The Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors have indicated their opposition, fearing the people will be discouraged from buying homes and moving into Hamilton County.

As usual property owners are caught in the middle. On one hand, property owners (many of whom are seniors and on fixed incomes) can’t afford the high property taxes. On the other hand, they will have difficulty in selling their homes because of the additional burden of higher property transfer tax.

Commissioners, if you need addition revenue, find it elsewhere other than on the backs of property owners.

Sports GLORY DAYS

St. Ursula had big day Nov. 13, 1993 2 state championships won on the same day Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

No doubt, Saturday, Nov. 13, 1993, was a long day for many – students, parents, teachers, administrators, coaches and athletes – associated with St. Ursula Academy.

Most likely, it’s easy for most – if not all – of them to remember exactly where they were that day, for it ranks as perhaps the most glorious and unforgettable in the East Walnut Hills school’s long, title-laden sports history.

The day started for many with getting up early enough to make the two-hour trip north on Interstate 71 and I-270 to Hilliard High School, northwest of Columbus, for the 11 a.m. soccer state championship match against powerful Westerville North.

After that match, played in a cold, driving rain that turned the field into a mudbath, many of the travelers – including Enquirer contributor Tim Pennington – headed south on I-270, then west on I-70 to I-675, pulling in to Wright State University’s Ervin J. Nutter Center for the Bulldogs’ 7 p.m. Division II volleyball state championship match against Thornville Sheridan.

The hours and mileage proved worth the time and gasoline expense. The soccer team got two goals each from Katie Veith and Jill Baker to ease past fourtime all-state striker and Ohio Player of the Year Lisa Suttmiller for a 4-1 win, earning their second state championship in three seasons with their second finals win over the Warriors.

That night, Jenny Esselman led a balanced St. Ursula volleyball offense with six kills and setter Anna Wittrock finished with 12 assists as the Bulldogs dispatched Sheridan 15-5, 15-6 to capture their first-ever state championship in their third final four appearance.

Senior Beth Junker admitted the soccer squad’s success pushed the volleyball team.

“When they won it two years ago, we were kind of jealous, because we wanted one, too, and when they won it again, then we knew we wanted to go out and win this one,” Junker told the Enquirer.

Coach Bob Sheehan’s soccer team finished the season 21-1-2, yielding just two goals in its last four tournament games –

1-0 wins over Glen Este and Lakota, followed by a 3-1 win over Beavercreek in a state semifinal at Amelia High School.

Suttmiller gave Westerville North a 1-0 lead six minutes into the title match against a St. Ursula team ranked No. 1 in the state and fourth nationally, but fullback Cathy Green led a defensive effort that kept the All-American under wraps the rest of the way.

“She’s a great player, and I was intimidated a little bit by her, but I just wouldn’t let her turn the corner on me and get by me,” Green said. “If I could do that, then I knew I could hold her.”

Sheehan made sure his players knew to keep the ball in the middle of the field and away from the sloppy sidelines.

“I think it affected them more than it did us,” Green said.

over Wilmington and Roger Bacon and needing three to get past Norwalk in the state semifinal, coach July Thoman Perry’s Bulldogs rushed out to a 12-3 lead and needed fewer than 15 minutes to put the Generals on their heels in the first game.

They took a 6-1 lead to start the second game, but Sheridan came back to tie the score before St. Ursula regrouped to close out the match and finish 22-4.

“I expect us to play perfectly, and we did,” Perry said. “We play the toughest schedule of any team

in the state, and that includes any Division I team out there. We walk on to the court looking to dominate, and we certainly did that.”

The volleyball championship left St. Ursula as the first school to win two girls state championships in one day. The twin titles were celebrated the following Monday at an assembly that started with each team entering the gym by breaking through banners proclaiming their championships.

“We’re just a tiny little girls Catholic school, but we support one another,”

Sheehan said.

“It’s just a great group of kids and coaches,” said then-Athletic Director Doug Tucker, who died about three years ago.

St. Ursula senior Sonia Stanton described the mood as “ecstatic.”

“This has just made my senior year very special,” the 18-year-old from South Fairmount said.

Resident wins 2018 holiday card contest in Montgomery

Zachary D. Dougherty

Each year, the Montgomery City Council members and dity staff send out holiday cards to those who have served or enhanced the community during the past year. Selected for the 2018 holiday card is an original design of the holiday tree by Gerry Hounchell.

Hounchell’s art was chosen from a field of more than a dozen entries. It depicts the decorated tree at the Neuilly-Plaisance plaza during the holidays. He will receive recognition as the artist on the cards, as well as a Montgomery-themed gift basket.

Hounchell explains, “In retirement, art became my hobby, complimenting, I believe my 35 years in engineering.” As Hounchell observed, art and engineering require creativity. His wife, Claire, offered a photograph of the 2017 holiday tree depicted at the Neuilly-Plaisance Plaza and asked him to recreate it as an oil painting.

Mr. Hounchell struggled with capturing the true meaning of light in his depiction of the holiday tree. “Light has long been associated with religions from around the world.

The city of Montgomery is blessed with broad cultural diversity. Montgomery’s Tree Lighting Ceremony and the words delivered by the Mayor gives the tree a far broader cultural meaning.”

He also added that in the case of Montgomery’s Tree Lighting, “this fleeting moment pays homage to the season of love and respect for our fellow man.”

“We were delighted with Mr. Hounchell’s submission. It not only captured the season but also features the annual holiday tree.

We are excited to share the artwork with the community this festive season,” noted Art Commission Chair Greg Leader.

Inspiration from a horse living with only one eye Brennan Equine Welfare Fund offering $10k matching gift to help horses like ‘Alex In Motion’.

Upon hearing that an offspring of one of her personal horses was not doing well in his race career as he once was, Indian Hill native Linda Pavey reached out to the trainer of Alex In Motion, a 2011 Thoroughbred gelding,

to inquire about his future. It was good timing, as the trainer said that Alex had run his last race and that he was being retired. The son of the 2005 Triple Crown contender Afleet Alex, Alex In Motion just couldn’t match his sire, despite running 34 races in his career.

While learning that the reason for his retirement was musculoskeletal is-

sues, Pavey learned that in the last year of his career, Alex In Motion had been running with only one eye. The year before, during a race, some debris flew in his left eye and the resulting injury necessitated the removal of the eye.

While one-eyed horses certainly adapt to their surroundings and also continue their race career, it is without doubt that their disability requires a bit more fortitude than their full-sighted competitors and stablemates. The nature of animals with disabilities, and their ability to adapt and not dwell on their situations, is certainly inspiring to all.

Currently, Alex In Motion is living his retirement at Accredited Thoroughbred aftercare facility The Exceller Fund. He is being supported by a grant from Cincinnati-based Brennan Equine Welfare Fund (BEWF). Since his arrival at the facility, he has gained some weight to fill out from his racing form. His musculoskeletal soreness has gotten better as he has a large pasture to graze in and the constant movement keeps his joints and soft tissue active to reduce inflammation.

Brennan Equine Welfare Fund is a fund-raising, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2000 at the Greater Cincinnati Foundation by Linda Pavey in honor and memory of her horse, “Brennan”, an off-thetrack Thoroughbred. Grants from Brennan Equine Welfare Fund are used to serve equine rescue shelters across the country that provide dignity to final years of aged, injured, abused, starved and slaughter-bound horses, as well as those used in medical experimentation.

It is through donations that BEWF can give horses like Alex In Motion the aftercare that they deserve. No donation is ever too small make a difference.

If you would like to honor a special person or equine that has touched your life, or are interested in year-end giving

ideas, a charitable donation to Brennan Equine Welfare Fund would be honored.

And because of a Matching Gift opportunity, every gift received through Dec. 31 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

Your donation will have double the power to offer a second chance to equines in need. Checks may be made out to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (make sure to write “Brennan Equine Welfare Fund” on the memo line) and mailed to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, 200 W. Fourth St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45202. For more information or to donate online, please visit http://www.brennanequinewelfarefund.com.
