By the numbers

Colerain Township voters are being asked to dig a little deeper for fire protection and emergency medical services. Officials are asking voters to approve a 5.27-mill replacement fire levy on the Nov. 2 ballot, an increase of 0.93 mills. The new levy would replace an expiring 4.34-mill five-year levy that funds the department’s operations. Colerain Township Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Silvati said in order to keep the amount of the levy request as low as possible, the fire department will reduce expenses by about $375,000 and will spend down about $6 million in cash reserves as well. Figures from Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes show the proposed levy would generate an estimated $6.9 million annually and will cost the owner of a $100,000 house $157.02, which is an increase of $52.93 annually. Silvati said the department can move ahead for the next five years if the levy passes, according to budget projections. The levy would fund current operations and the conversion of two slots currently staffed by a number of part-time firefighters to full-time firefighter positions over

To figure the property tax on a house with a market value of $100,000: • First, reduce the value to 35 percent, which is the taxable value of the house: $35,000. • Divide the $35,000 by 1,000 which translates the mills. You have 35. • Multiply the 35 by the millage: 5.27 in the case of the fire levy. That gives you a gross tax of $184.45. • Now calculate the 10 percent rollback ($18.45) and the 2.5 percent homestead exemption ($4.61). Multiply the homestead exemption by the current sales tax credit factor, which is .948, which gives you an additional reduction of $4.37. • Then subtract those reductions from the gross tax and you get $157.02. The proposed levy would cost $52.93 more annually for a home with a market value of $100,000. Officials from the auditor’s office said the sales tax credit factor changes regularly, and can account for differences in the cents portion of the tax.

a five-year period. The department needs additional funds to maintain current levels of service and meet increased demands, officials said. The number of emergency runs handled by the Colerain Township department has jumped from 8,395 in 2005 to 9,195 in 2009. “There has been a 58 percent increase in runs since 1995,” said levy chairman Tom Hart. “The department needs the levy to maintain its current vehicle fleet, equipment and buildings and to meet the increased demand for service. This is a busy department.” Hart said township residents get a return on their investment in

the form of lower insurance rates. Virtually all U.S. insurers of home and business property use the Insurance Service Office’s rating program when calculating insurance premiums. The lower the ISO rating is on a scale of 1 to 10, the better the insurance rates are. Colerain Township has a Class 2 Home Insurance rating from the Insurance Service Office. There are only 32 fire departments in Ohio with that rating. The ISO reviews three primary areas: The fire department including its first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss from structure fires, the distribution of fire stations and fire

companies, equipment carried, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and firefighter training; water main and hydrant capabilities; and fire alarm and communication services. Another reason the department needs an increase is rising costs. In 2001, Silvati said a firefighter’s portable radio cost the department about $950. In 2010, a radio costs $4,500. Turnout gear, including helmets, coat, pants and gloves, cost $1,292 in 2000. The cost of turnout gear jumped as well, and now costs $2,213 per set. Colerain Fire Chief Bruce Smith said his department is doing everything it can to provide service while operating safely and in the most fiscally responsible way possible. Hart said the fire department has done a good job with the resources it has and residents should support the levy request. “Our department provides a high level of fire protection and emergency medical service,” he said. “The levy this replaces will expire, and half of the department’s funding will disappear if this levy does not pass. That would have to result in reduced services, and none of us wants to see that.”

La Salle High School cross country coach Frank Russo has great confidence in his No. 1 runner, senior Travis Hawes – perhaps even more confidence than Hawes has in himself. Hawes has run at the cross country state meet every year. He finished 12th as a freshman, 64th as a sophomore, and, in a season derailed by mononucleosis, 57th as a junior. He hopes for a top-10 finish this season. SPORTS, A8 JENNIE KEY/STAFF

vandalism and graffiti. He said the Colerain Park amphitheater was hit with graffiti over the summer and he hopes the cameras will end that issue. Some of the vandalism is more than an aggravation: A sewer grate was taken from the walking trail, which could be a safety hazard, as well. Schwartzhoff said the quote includes both wireless and wired cameras. They can be set to run 24 hours or on motion sensors. The cameras will transmit to DVRs in secure locations, so damaging the camera will not destroy the recorded evidence. Police Chief Dan Meloy said the recordings will be reviewed on an as-needed basis. Schwartzhoff said he talked with about 10 park directors who have installed cameras in their parks and all said the installation helped appreciably. “A couple said once the first apprehension occurred, the problem stopped,” Schwartzhoff said. “I don’t want to catch people vandalizing the parks, I want the vandalism to stop. That’s the goal here.” He said the system should be operational by the end of the year.

Colerain Township made about $2.5 million in improvements to the park and trustees are trying to protect the investment. At the Sept. 14 board meeting, Colerain Township Trustee Jeff Ritter said he had some concerns about vandalism in the park and suggested that cameras could help deter vandals. The board directed Colerain Township Parks and Services Director Kevin Schwartzhoff to investigate the cameras. At a meeting Oct. 12, Schwartzhoff recommended the township approve a quote of $19,065 from Smartview Electronics Inc. The board approved the purchase unanimously.

Northwest driver cited for DUI Gannett News Service A Northwest Schools bus driver charged with crashing his bus while intoxicated shortly after dropping more than two dozen band members off for a football game at Princeton High School on Thursday was more than five times the legal limit to drive a commercial vehicle, according to Sharonville police. John Dahlheimer, 61, of Harrison, registered a blood alcohol content of .229, well over the legal limit in Ohio for a commercial driver’s license of .04, said Sharonville Police Lt. Mark Preuss. The legal limit for other drivers is .08. The arresting officer noted in his report that Dahlheimer was visibly impaired, Preuss said. Officers also found a cooler beside his seat that held a bottle of Jagermeister liquor and painkillers Darvocet and Klonopin, a drug prescribed to prevent seizures. The driver did not have a prescription for the medications, Preuss said. In fact, the bus driver was so drunk, police say he must have been intoxicated when he drove 29 band members and four parent chaperons from Colerain High School to Princeton High School. They marveled he didn’t wreck the bus sooner and that no one was injured. “I think we dodged a bullet on this one,” Preuss said. “Alcohol burns off at the rate of 1.5 percent per hour, so it’s not like he just started drinking. It’s sad. We were very, very lucky that it didn’t turn out worse, that no kids were on the bus, nobody was hurt. It could have been obviously a very serious situation.” What’s more, the driver has a previous drunk-driving conviction – in Hamilton County in 1992. According to Hamilton County court documents, Colerain Township police pulled Dahlheimer's red, two-door Nissan over in the 8700 block of Colerain Avenue at 12:05 a.m. on Oct. 3, 1992.

Veterans push for flag at retirement home By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Ken Neal thought something was missing from the Renaissance West retirement community in Monfort Heights. The longtime Cheviot resident moved into the facility off West Fork Road shortly after it opened about a year ago, and before long

he noticed the building lacked an American flag out front. That didn’t sit particularly well with Neal, who served in the U.S. Army Airborne in Europe during World War II and flew a flag at his house every day after he returned home. “I wanted a flag out here,” he said. “I thought a building like

this should certainly have a flag out front.” Not to mention Neal is one of 30 residents of the retirement community who served in the military. “I’ve been after the management to get a flagpole and flag for about six months,” Neal said. “I kept heckling until they got one.” The American flag at

Dan Knotts, left, commander of Western Hills AMVETS Post 41, and Jim Ploeger, right, prepare to raise the American flag at Renaissance West in Monfort Heights. Members of Western Hills Post 41 donated the flag to the retirement community, which was without a flag since opening about a year ago.

Renaissance West is now flowing gently in the fall breeze. The flag, donated by Western Hills AMVETS Post 41, was raised and dedicated Monday, Sept. 20. Neal said the flag is a fitting tribute to the veterans who call the retirement facility home, most of whom served in World War II and the Korean War. Jim Carr, a resident who served in the Army in World War II under Gen. George Patton and fought at the Battle of the Bulge, said the dedication and raising of the flag at the facility was truly appreciated. “There are an awful lot of old Army guys and Navy guys around here,” Carr said. “We enjoy sitting around talking and sharing stories with our old Army buddies.” Army veteran Bill Rueve said the flag represents freedom and loyalty to this country. “I think it’s wonderful,” he said about the facility getting its flag. Beth Barber, executive director of Renaissance West, said the flag raising and dedication brought tears to her eyes. “I have a daughter in the Navy so this is even more meaningful to me now,” she said. “We can’t do enough to thank our veterans. “This is their flag, the residents here. They are a great generation,” Barber said. Neal said he’s glad his persistence paid off. “It’s wonderful,” he said. “The flag is symbolic of our country.”

Ghouls and goblins set to invade Mt. Healthy By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Asked why he keeps coming back to help, year after year, Dan Meale bit down on his cigar and said simply, “Why not?” Meale is one of the original cast of behind-thescenes volunteers who put the popular haunted house together. The Springfield Township man started when he became involved with the Boy Scout Troop 27 at Assumption. He remains with the Troop and the Haunted Hall. Along with Troop 27, scouts from Troop 393 in North College Hill and 660 from St. Ann’s parish have joined the fiendish fun. Since the scout troops reap the bulk of the proceeds from the haunted house, David Miller, a former scoutmaster with Troop 27, said it’s important the scouts are part of its creation. “They come to help, both while we’re building it and as characters and helping with the weekend shows,” the Springfield Township man said. Miller said the hall offers some 40 different fright sites, including two new tents this year that

Colerain churches reach out to teens By Jennie Key

jkey@communitypress.com

A new after-school program and an old breakfast program are being used by churches to reach out to the Colerain High School students. The after-school program – CHAOS – meets at Groesbeck United Methodist Church from 3 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Associate Pastor Benji Sayre says the after-school program has taken off since the beginning of the year. “We see some of the same people each time, but we are still getting new kids who come to see what’s going on,” Sayre said. “We have a great group of volunteer tutors and people to just hang out with. I think it’s going well. It has exceeded our expectations. Honestly, we really didn’t know what

Five area churches are supporting the Breakfast Club: • White Oak Christian Church, • Vineyard Church Northwest, • Northwest Community Church, • Groesbeck United Methodist Church and • Monfort Heights United Methodist Church. to expect.” Sayre said attendance has varied with about 80 to 100 students attending each week. “Some come later, when their after-school sport or activity is finished,” he said. Sayre said the community has been supportive of the new program. One family donated a foosball table for students to use. The computer lab and tutoring is also popular.

Students say they enjoy the after-school program. “It’s fun,” said 15-year-old Marqueahana Mabrey said. “You can study, you hang with your friends, it’s good. If I wasn’t here, I would probably be getting into trouble at home.” Her mom Lisa likes CHAOS as well. “It’s definitely a good program,” she said. “It’s a safe place for these kids to come, and the timing is great. Everything about this program is positive.” Sayre is pleased with CHAOS, as well. “We really felt God calling us to do this,” he said. “And it seems to be working.” Area churches have also revived an oldie when it comes to high school outreach: the Colerain Breakfast Club is back in business. The club was started in the

Groesbeck United Methodist Church member Jim Williams is flipping flapjacks, and there are other breakfast options: bacon, sausage, eggs, juice and fruit are also available. Staci Sheafer Kovacs, who attended the Breakfast Club when she was a Colerain student, said she has good memories of the old group. “I remember it touched a lot of

lives,” she said. She said Colerain football coach Tom Bolden has been after her for a couple of years to restart the morning program. A number of football players come in their jerseys, but you won’t see Bolden at the breakfast until his team is done playing for the year. “He’s superstitious,” said one player. “He won’t come now until the season is over.” Breakfast Club is every Friday when school is in session from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. at Northwest Community Church, 8735 Cheviot Road.

Cincinnati State offers early childhood classes Cincinnati State Community and Technical College is partnering with the Great Oaks Career Campus at Diamond Oaks to offer one of the college’s most popular Early Childhood Education sequences. Starting in mid-November, Cincinnati State will offer its complete early childhood education child development associate (CDA) certificate curriculum at the Diamond Oaks campus, 6375 Harrison Ave. The CDA certificate curriculum provides the opportunity for students to meet the requirements of the Council for Early Childhood professional recognition’s child development associate credential. The courses leading to the CDA certificate are also part of a pathway toward the early childhood care and education associate degree offered at Cincinnati State’s main campus. The target audience for the CDA certificate includes home child care providers, community residents and high school seniors

in districts that are part of the Great Oaks network. High school students who have completed the high school early childhood education curriculum at Diamond Oaks will be able to receive credit for up to seven Cincinnati State CDA courses, enabling them to significantly accelerate their progress toward the CDA credential. Rayma Smith, dean of the Humanities and Sciences divisions at Cincinnati State, said the CDA certificate offered at Diamond Oaks offers: • complete course curriculum offered in the evenings at Diamond Oaks; • free and convenient parking; and • classes offered in wellequipped, state-of-the-art Diamond Oaks ECE classroom environment. The ECE degree and certificate programs at Cincinnati State are designed to meet the standards of the National Association for the

Education of Young Children, the Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition (which sponsors the Child Development Credential) and the Ohio Department of Education. The first class of students in the Cincinnati State CDA Certificate program at Diamond Oaks will begin in the Late Fall Term, which starts Nov. 16. Classes will be available in the evenings beginning at 6 p.m. each week. Students who follow the prescribed enrollment plan will be able to complete their CDA Certificate in four terms, ending in summer 2011. Future plans call for the expansion of this curriculum at the Great Oaks Scarlet Oaks Campus in the spring 2011 for those in the northern regions of Cincinnati. Students interested in participating in the CDA Certificate program should contact the admissions office at Cincinnati State at 513-861-7700 or by e-mail at adm@cincinnatistate.edu.

La Salle aims for 3rd state title in 6 years

La Salle finishes second at GCL Chamionship

tmeale@communitypress.com

La Salle High School cross country coach Frank Russo has great confidence in his No. 1 runner, senior Travis Hawes – perhaps even more confidence than Hawes has in himself. “We try to make projections for our guys – realistic projections – because it’s a source of motivation and the guys can see where we see them finishing,” Russo said. “We see Travis in the top five (at state). We think he has the talent, experience and now the strength to perform and compete at that level.” Hawes has run at the cross country state meet every year. He finished 12th as a freshman, 64th as a sophomore, and, in a season derailed by mononucleosis, 57th as a junior. He hopes for a top-10 finish this season. When told that Russo projected him in the top five, Hawes smiled. “Coach is always going high,” he joked. “But that would definitely help our team score.” La Salle, which is the topranked team in Ohio, is gunning for a third consecutive appearance at the Division I State Cross Country Championships, which will be Nov. 6 at Scioto Downs Race Track in Columbus. After finishing a disappointing 16th in 2009 and 15th in 2008, the Lancers,

The La Salle High School cross country team finished runner-up to Elder at the GCL Championship Oct. 16 at Rapid Run Park. The Lancers, the top-ranked team in the state, fell to Elder, ranked second in the city, by seven points. Elder senior Josh Makin, the GCL-South Runner of the Year, finished first in a time of 15:31.25. La Salle senior Ethan Bokeno placed second, finishing less than three seconds behind Makin.

The La Salle High School Big Red Express Cross Country team celebrates winning the Midwest Meet of Champions this past weekend, a first in the program's history. The team defeated seven of the top 10 teams in the state, including No. 2 Medina 107 - 115, for the second straight week defending state champions Cleveland St. Ignatius ranked No. 4, and Toledo St. John’s No. 5. The Lancers were led by all-state track seniors Travis Hawes, Ethan Bokeno, and Alex Thiery who all broke 16 minutes for the 5,000 meter course. They were closely followed by teammates Kevin Kluesener at 16 minutes, 1 second and junior Drew Michel at 16 minutes, 5 seconds. The team concludes the regular season this weekend at the Thomas Worthington Invitational. The Lancers are presently ranked No. 1 in the city and in the state. From left are Travis Hawes, Alex Thiery, Ethan Bokeno, Kevin Kluesener, Drew Michel, Mark Nie and Matt Nie. which had five top-two finishes at state from 2001 to 2006 – including back-toback championships in ’05 and ’06 – hope to add more hardware to one of Ohio’s most storied programs. “We’re not going to beat around the bush,” Russo said. “Our goal is to win the state title. We feel we have the team, the talent, the experience and we’ve prepared. Now it’s about staying healthy and executing on that first Saturday in Novem-

ber.” Hawes, who has the fastest time in the GCL this season (15:28 entering the league meet Oct. 16), is at the forefront of La Salle’s state-title hopes. “The most important thing I’ve seen out of Travis this season is his overall strength has improved,” Russo said. “The quality of his work-outs has improved. His consistency day-to-day in practice has improved. Those three elements hope-

fully will pay dividends for him.” Said senior teammate Ethan Bokeno, “His work ethic and training have been off-the-charts this year.” Bokeno, who hopes for a top-25 finish at state, is La Salle’s No. 2 runner. Rounding out the top five are seniors Kevin Kluesener and Alex Thiery, as well as junior Drew Michel. La Salle’s average one-through-five time is 15:51. The Lancers are undefeated when that quintet runs together. La Salle won the Greenville Invitational Aug. 28, the Midwest Catholic Championship Sept. 25, the Midwest Meet of Champions Oct. 2 and the Les Eisenhart Invitational Oct. 9. The Lancers’ top seven runners – including Matt Nie and Marc Nie – all recorded personal-bests at the Meet of Champions, which featured some of the top teams in the state, including Medina, St. Ignatius, Mason, Dublin Coffman and St. John’s Jesuit. “The depth of talent that

was in that field, the competitiveness and what was at stake all contributed to our overall performance,” Russo said. “We wanted to see everyone prior to the state meet, and we’ve done that.” The Lancers also finished second at the Finish Timing Invitational Aug. 28 and the Louisvile Trinity Invitational Sept. 18, as well as fourth at the Mason Invitational Sept. 11. “Everyone is healthy and working hard to achieve our goal, which is state,” Bokeno said. “That’s been our goal the last two years, and this year we’ve proved so far that we can compete with anybody in the state. We just have to keep proving to ourselves that we can do it.” Russo said his team hasn’t lost focus since receiving the top ranking in Ohio. “Championships are earned, so now we want to live up to that expectation of what other people believe we are capable of achieving,” he said. “We’re really excited about the upcoming championship meets.”

McAuley golf team keeps district streak alive By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The McAuley High School golf team qualified for the district tournament for the fifth consecutive year with a team score of 355 in the sectional tournament, good for a fourth-place finish and just three strokes out of third place. Head coach Ernie Petri,

who has had eight district qualifying teams in his 14 years as head coach, said it never gets old seeing the girls accomplish their main goal. “There have been years when tears come to my eyes a little bit when the players are in that jubilant mode,” he said. “It’s pretty much the goal every year and they really have to work hard to accomplish that goal. There

are a lot of talented teams in the area, so to qualify for the district tournament five years in a row speaks to their work ethic.” McAuley (18-6) finished eighth at the district tournament Oct. 13 with a team score of 366, which is close to what Petri expected. “The teams ahead of us from Cincinnati were the teams ranked ahead of us all

season,” he said. “We were ranked seventh in the city and of our six losses this season, five of them came to higher-ranked teams.” The Mohawks were led by a trio of players with similar averages. Seniors Lindsey Decher and Michelle Schmidt and junior Alisha Wellman were all within four strokes of each other for their season totals and they all

had 9-hole averages near 42. Freshman Danielle Dilonardo was the team’s fourth player and sophomore Jena Huber and junior Sarah Buescher rounded out the team. The two seniors were the low scorers for McAuley in the sectional and district tournaments with Wellman near the top as well. Petri said the team was probably the second-best

team he’s ever had in his decade-plus as head coach. “We had one other team that missed going to state by seven strokes and this year we had some good players and they were an easy team to coach,” he said. “We only had six players so we didn’t have to shuffle the lineup and the kids worked hard. I was really pleased with how the season went.”

Colerain 56, Princeton 7

One week after surviving a 17-14 scare against Hamilton, the Cardinals (8-0, 5-0) remained unblemished with a drubbing of league-rival Princeton. Colerain led 28-0 through one quarter and tied its season-high in points. Senior Trayion Durham led the way with 21 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown, while senior quarterback Tyler Williams rushed 10 times for 77 yards and a touchdown and was 2-of-3 passing for 73 yards and a score. Junior Chris Mimes had five carries for 88 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown run to open the scoring. Sophomore Chris Davis had three scores, including a 39-yard touchdown reception. As a team, Colerain rushed 62 times for 409 yards – 6.6 yards per carry – and seven touchdowns. Williams has six touchdown tosses on the seaosn. Defensively, Colerain held Princeton to 187 total yards, including -5 yards on the ground. Junior linebacker Steven Ferneding recovered and a fumble, and senior defensive bck Jordan Flueck recorded an interception. Colerain, the top-ranked team in the state, closes the regular season with home games against Sycamore (Oct. 22) and Oak Hills (Oct. 29).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CCA says thanks

The Colerain Community Association thanks those businesses that donated products which we sold at the Colerain Fire Department “Public Safety Display and Expo” on Oct. 3. This fundraiser enables the CCA to pay for the materials used in the landscaped beds at the major interchanges within the township. Thanks to donors Stehlin’s Meat Market, Butternut-Hostess, Grosebeck BP, Kroger Mount Airy, Kroger Northgate, Meijer, Walgreen Co. and Wal-Mart at the Colerain Towne Center. A special “thank you” goes to the Colerain Fire Department for inviting the CCA to participate. Ken Lohr President, Colerain Community Association Colerain Township

CH@TROOM What are your favorite and least favorite campaign ads this political season? Why? “The very untrue one about Dusty Rhodes “secretly” planning to retire. It is his money that he has paid into the system either directly or as part of his salary. How he uses it or when is nobody’s business.” D. “The Steve Driehaus ads are (were) despicable and full of lies. Was glad to see the national committee write him off and cancel $500k+ of more of his garbage propaganda. When you have no record to run on, sold out your community and your faith - all you can do is throw garbage and tell lies. Will be curious to see where Driehaus ends up after he is voted out of office - he will undoubtedly have some high paying position at the expense of the taxpayers as his payoff for selling out to Pelosi and Obama. Can only hope the new Congress will cut the funding for his job.” N.W.S. “Frankly, I do not have a ‘favorite’ because they all deal with very negative visuals and comments about their opponents. “One is expected to believe that the opposing candidate is personally responsible for all the negative things that have happened on his/her watch, and that, by putting “me” in office “I” will singlehandedly make everything right. “That is not reality. “Every office holder, especially our elected officials in Congress, have had a lot of “help” in failing to fix what is wrong with this country. It is time to do away with the political party slams in the ads. Just tell me specifically what you will do if elected!” T.M.

This week’s question Do you think communities should regulate the number and sizes of political signs people can display on private property? Why or why not?

dren graduated from Mount Healthy High School with a good education. Our schools have a tax levy on the November ballot that is important to all of us. The teachers in Mount Healthy are talented, hard-working people who really want to help our students. We have an award-winning superintendent who provides quality leadership. Our long-term students do very well on proficiency tests even though the many newcomers do not. Our schools emphasize the “basics,” which I believe is the best curriculum. As a tutor for the last nine years, I have seen our students grow and learn in the Mount Healthy school environment. Passage of the November levy will ensure a quality education for our students. It will help us to keep our best teachers, and allow for enrichment programs such as field trips, smaller class size, newer books, and music and sports programs.

This levy will prevent any decrease in the quality of education. Any cuts in spending will seriously hurt. Our textbooks and curriculum need to be updated, and we need to keep our good teachers by paying a decent salary I am retired and no longer have children in school. Even so, I believe this levy is good for the quality of education and the quality of life in Mount Healthy. Richard Wendt Mount Healthy

Support Ping

I support a local candidate for the 29th House District, Liz Ping. She is well qualified and will focus on what the district wants. She is an education advocate. John Rapach Springfield Township

No tax alarm

Don’t pull the “tax alarm” just yet. As I sat down to write this, I know I will not be in agreement with most readers in Colerain Township, but sometimes you

have to say it anyway. In these economic times, financial belt tightening is essential for survival. I have seen no mention that the fire services we receive have done that. Just the opposite has happened: They put their hand out and we fill it up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not picking on the men and woman who serve in emergency services, they do a great job, but just because you provide a valuable service doesn’t mean you can’t do it without financial restraint. I’m sure there is fat that can be trimmed in every department without affecting services. But we as citizens have to vote for change and not be bullied or scared into thinking a no vote means you don’t want protection or don’t care about it. If you think about it, just the opposite can take place. If the ones who run the department know we are watching how our tax money is being used or abused, then they like everyone else will be forced to get the most out of what they are

Support the Colerain Fire/EMS levy All of us who live in Colerain Township are blessed to have our topnotch firefighters and paramedics who, for several decades, not only have exceeded our expectations for required services, but also have worked tirelessly to improve their fire-fighting and life-saving skills, creating a unique blend of volunteer spirit, professional dedication and maintenance of a well defined management system. Our Colerain Fire Department operates one of the best fire and paramedic training programs in this country, resulting in both quality services to our residents and a cache of excellent supervisor and new recruit candidates for neighboring fire departments. With their demanding recruitment standards, the department prepares highly energetic, physically strong and mentally resilient professionals dedicated to exceptional job performance. The most powerful evidence of their value to the residents and businesses of Colerain Township is

the distinguished C-2 insurance rating. We are one of only 32 political subdivisions in the state of Ohio to have this high rating. Further stated – no politiThomas Hart cal subdivision in Community Ohio has a C-1 ConsiderPress guest rating. ing there are over columnist 1,100 townships and over 400 cities in Ohio, Colerain Township Fire and Paramedics are in the top 1 percent in the state for quality services. What this means financially to each resident and business is the lowest hazard insurance premiums in the state of Ohio. As an example, one insurance company charges a C-2 protected frame construction $100,000 home with a rate of $340 per year and for a $200,000 home a rate of $477 per year. Conversely, a protection C-10

costs $806 and $1,218 per year for the same construction values. We did have C-10 ratings in some areas of the township 30 years ago. The most amazing feat is that they have merited this high-ranking level with little increase in revenue from the year 2000 to 2010. Having audited local governments for over 35 years, I can assure you that despite the shockingly high cost of fire equipment, the Colerain Township Fire department responsibly upholds a schedule of what equipment is needed and in service, what is its life expectancy and what is the estimated cost of replacement. To ensure financial stability, the fire department management has developed a replacement equipment savings program with one exception: In 2001 they borrowed money for 20 years with 11 remaining to pay for a new fire house, three new fire engines, other vehicles and equipment. The annual payment is about $250,000.

Therefore, I can say with absolute certainty that the taxpayers’ money is being spent exclusively for fire and life-saving services. Also, our skillful mechanics carefully maintain the equipment to extend usage to the maximum number of years. At a very reasonable cost, the department has purchased quality used equipment similar to existing equipment as back-up units, providing parts to keep the operational units in serviceable condition. According to the Hamilton County Auditor, the levy will add $52.93 per year on a $100,000 home. Your support and your vote are needed to keep our fire protection C-2 rating, which in turn is providing you the lowest insurance rates in the state of Ohio and assuring you the highest quality fire department service in Colerain Township. Tom Hart is the chairman of the Colerain Fire/EMS Levy Committee.

What kind of smoke detector do you have? Smoke detectors don’t save lives – at least not the most commonly used detectors. In the early 1970’s, less than 10 percent of the homes had smoke detectors. Back then, 8 people died for every 1,000 fires that occurred. Today 95 percent of homes have smoke detectors, however 8 people still die for every 1,000 fires that occur. Seventy percent of fire-related fatalities in Hamilton County are due to smoke inhalation, not the heat or flames. Seventy-five percent of fatalities occur during sleeping hours. Smoke detectors are built with one of two sensors in them. The sensor in the ionization alarm is designed to recognize and alarm in the presence of a flaming fire. It detects the small particles that are suspended in the air which are ionized electrons. These particles are so small you may not even be able to see

or smell them. The ionization detectors utilize a very small amount of a radioactive isotope that emits Alpha radiation. Don’t worry, Capt. Darian unless you are Edwards playing with the detector or inhalCommunity ing the air directly Press guest off of it, the radiacolumnist tion is harmless. The second sensor, which is photoelectric, is designed to recognize and sound an alarm in the presence of a smoldering fire. The photoelectric detector senses the smoke that is produced from smoldering fires or from items such as synthetic materials. The smoke disrupts a light sensor inside the detector and activates the alarm. In a flaming fire, such as a kitchen fire, an ionization detector

goes off about 10 seconds prior to a photoelectric detector. In a smoldering fire, such as electrical or careless smoking, the Photoelectric detector can activate 10, 15, 20, even 30 minutes before an ionization detector goes off, if it even activates at all. Studies have been done by the National Institute of Standards and Testing, National Fire Protection Association, and Texas A&M University, all of which confirm similar findings that Ionization smoke detectors are failing us. Their test results have been shown on multiple television shows and posted on various websites such as Youtube. Many states have banned, or are currently debating the banning of, detectors that use ionization technology. Many of the courts have passed judgment against the detector manufacturers for faulty ionization detectors. The overwhelming majority of the population has ionization

detectors in their home. Why?, because it is the cheapest in cost. A photoelectric detector costs about twice what the Ionization sells for. Therefore the ionization detector is the cheaper and more economical choice. How do you know which one you have? Look on the back of the detector, if you see an “I” or “radioactive” then its an ionization detector. A photoelectric detector will have a “P” on it. Please provide your family with the proper safety equipment. We buckle our kids into child seats and seat belts; our cars have airbags and bicycle helmets are in common use now. So why not provide your family with the proper smoke detector? Replace your ineffective Ionization detectors with the photoelectric detectors. Colerain Township Fire Capt. Darian Edwards also serves as a public information officer for the department.

What talents lie behind the masks we wear? out of sight in the shadow part of our personality as best we can. Our parents and teachers didn’t like them. Nor are we proud of them. Trouble comes when we deny they’re there. But we also have some very positive talents we may keep hidden. Why do we hide them? Because we’re afraid we might be called upon to use them, or in using them risk embarrassment, and sometimes we just don’t want to expend the energy to carry them out. Some of us keep out wonderful traits covered by our persona. I think of very ordinary looking Susan Boyle blowing the judges and the public away when she sang on “Britain’s Got Talent.” Civilized society, however, depends on the use of personas. We expect interactions between people to be carried out through their personal or professional persona. It helps us know who we’re dealing with. The little boy at the front door was not really a lion, and the little girl not really a princess. To wear a costume and mask to a party feels freeing because it reminds us and others that there is a lot more to us than the familiar persona we have. It’s said we humans die having used only about 20 percent of our potential. Actors and actresses must

It’s an interesting observation that we Christians have created a persona/ mask for Jesus Christ. He is expected to wear a less human mask than ours, though he became one of us. At the wedding feast in Cana some actually find it difficult to think of him as drinking real wine, laughing

out loud, joining in a dance, or being humorous. The mask we’ve assigned him is always somber, serious, frowning in disapproval, or telling someone to shape up. He can’t be too human, we conclude. Especially for adults, the second half of life is like the day after Halloween. It is time adjust our masks and come to know ourselves better, who we are, and bring out some of the golden and talented

parts of our personality. After our children are raised our truest and best selves need to be coaxed forth. The dark parts of our personality must be acknowledged, contained and moderated. But talent wants out. If we’ve always dreamed of painting, singing, coaching, dancing, composing poetry or music, teaching or caring for others in their need, now’s the time. As poet Mary Oliver

It was Halloween. A woman opened her door and said to the little boy costumed as a lion, “My, you look so fierce!” He growled a n d clawed the air with Father Lou his left Guntzelman paw. T h e Perspectives next doorbell ringer was a little girl dressed as a princess. The woman told her “You’re so pretty, you look like Princess Diana used to look.” When we put on a mask or costume, whether we’re a child or adult, something inside us is unleashed. It’s tantalizing to imagine ourselves in another role. In a way, we already own a mask we wear daily over our real self’s face. It serves as a protection and helps us socially. Psychologically it’s called our persona. Without a persona/mask we feel too vulnerable, too easily known, and too easily rejected. There are parts of us that, quite understandingly, others would not like if they saw – perhaps unbridled anger, selfishness, cruelty, a dysfunctional sexual appetite, various addictions or laziness. These aspects are kept

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Pumpkins can provide a new, and spooky, way to display Cincinnati-style chili. 1

⁄2-inch thickness (this is so shell won’t collapse) and save seeds for roasting. Put shell and top on sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes or just until tender. Don’t overbake or shell will be to weak to hold chili. Fill with favorite chili. Before serving, spoon spaghetti strands on top and let hang over for “worms.” Shell can be made several days in advance and rewarmed before filling.

Roasted pumpkin seeds

Clean and dry seeds. Toss with olive oil and any seasoning you like: sea salt, Southwestern spice, whatever. Bake at 350 degrees until toasted, about 20 minutes.

Praline crunch snack mix

Lee Ochs, director of Jungle Jim’s cooking school, shared this recipe when I was prepping for a class. It was absolutely addictive. The staff kept coming back for “just a little more.” Here’s my adaptation.

16 oz. box oatmeal squares cereal 2 cups pecans, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped (or your favorite nuts) 1 ⁄2 cup dark or light brown sugar, firmly packed 1 ⁄2 cup light corn syrup 1 ⁄2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: baking soda and salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon Preheat oven to 250. Spray a cookie sheet with sides or a 9-by-13 pan. Combine cereal and nuts in large sprayed bowl and set aside. Either on the stove or in microwave, combine sugar, syrup and butter. Bring to a boil and stir in vanilla, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Pour over cereal mixture and stir to coat. Pour onto cookie sheet and bake 45 minutes to one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely and break into pieces. Store at room temperature. Makes eight cups.

Tips from Rita

Keep those jack-olanterns from shriveling: Keep your carved creation looking unpuckered by mixing 2 tablespoons vinegar and a teaspoon of lemon juice into 3 cups of water. Brush over carved areas.

one meetings with therapists. The Dunhams, and other families like them, never know what they’ll face from one day to the next. Children and teens affected by mental illness struggle with behavioral and mood changes on a regular basis. “These kids cycle a lot, and they’re in and out of the hospital,” said Susan Pahner, RHC’s vice president of program services. “A big goal of this program is to stabilize placement for them, and keep them from going in and out of the hospital.” Before clients begin services at the center, staff conduct in-depth assessments to identify what kinds of services youth and their families need most. For some kids, it’s anger management. For others, it might be learning to bathe on their own or make a snack by themselves. RHC operates group homes and supported housing for people affected by developmental disorders and mental illness in Hamilton and Butler counties. The respite center can house five children or teens for a weekend. Eventually, staff hope to expand the program to seven days a week. The center was set up in cooperation with Hamilton Choices, which contracts with Hamilton County to coordinate care for children and teens with mental health problems. Other funding comes from private grants and scholarships, including a $150,000 startup grant from the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, and Medicaid. For the Dunhams, Wyatt’s time at the center means a little more breathing room for the adults – and a lot fewer meltdowns for Wyatt, who’s learning to get along with other kids much better, Dunham said. “It’s helping him stay out of the hospital,” she said. “It’s just been a big help for us.”

A new Monfort Heights center aims to give parents a break from the daily demands of caring for special-needs children and teens. And while parents are getting a break, their children can get extra help learning how to better manage their symptoms. RHC’s Children’s Respite Support Center recently celebrated its grand opening. The center offers therapeutic services for children diagnosed with both developmental disorders, such as autism or Down syndrome, and mental illness. Wyatt Dunham, 10, has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD and schizoaffective disorder, a psychiatric disorder that includes mood swings, delusions and hallucinations. “Before he was 2, I knew he would have struggles,” said his mother, Tammy Dunham of Elmwood Place. Wyatt has been hospitalized several times, both for trying to hurt himself and for trying to hurt others, Dunham said. “He has a lot of anger issues. That’s how he displays depression,” she said. He doesn’t handle frustration well, and he’s not good with surprises. “He needs to be on a very rigid schedule. He has to have a very rigid structure to his day,” Dunham said. Small things – waiting longer in line at the supermarket than expected, or a last-minute trip to the store – can trigger a meltdown. The respite center opened in January, and Wyatt’s been there two weekends a month. For Dunham, it means being able to go to the store and run errands without worrying about how Wyatt will react. And Wyatt gets to spend time learning how to better deal with his anger, both in group sessions and one-on-
