Mount Healthy School Super-intendent Lori Handler says herdistrict has made progress butwithout the passage of a levy, sheworries that progress may not besustainable.

Thedistrict is asking for anew7.65-mill continuous operatinglevy to generate $2.4 million a

year. The districthas not had addi-tional operatingfunds since 2003.Voters have re-jected the levyfive times sinceNovember 2010.Thelatest losswasinMarch, prompt-

ing the district to cut $4 millionand74 jobs. It cut somesportsandincreased pay-to-play fees to$150.

The district cut almost $4 mil-lion for the 2012-13 school year to

stay in the black. School officialshave made cuts every year but

one since 2003, when the districtlast passed a levy for additionalrevenue. Since 2003, the districthas cut $7.12million from its bud-get.

The school district has a $34million annual budget. Accordingto Hamilton County AuditorDusty Rhodes, the levy wouldgenerate an additional $2.75 mil-lion for the district, and wouldcost the owner of a home with a$100,000 market value an addi-tional $227.08 per year

If the levy fails Nov. 6, the dis-trictwillmakemorecutsthisyear

and next year to avoid a deficit in2015. Specifics have not been out-lined, but Superintendent LoriHandler says the outlook is grim.

“There is no fluff to cut,” Han-dler said. “We making progress,we can see it in the state reportcard performance, but we willhave to begin dismantling pro-grams that are helping our stu-dents succeed.Wedon’t have a lotleft to cut here.

If the levy passes, she says thedistrict will hire back some posi-

Halloween is Mark Wiech-man’s favorite holiday. Eachyear he transforms his home at6791 Marvin Ave. in North Col-lege Hill into a frighteningplace and onOct. 31hewill cele-brate 50 years of scaring theneighbors.

“The scares are after theadults not the kids,” he said. “Ilove seeing people enjoy it.”

His garage becomes Count

Marco’s Haunted Castle fit forthe Dracula-inspired characterhe plays. In the belly of the cas-tle are ghouls, werewolves andanevil laboratorywithbubblingviles and zany concoctions.

Next to the haunted house isa graveyard, complete witheery fog and skeletons wantingto break free. Guarding thecemetery is a somber figuremanning a guillotine. If guestsdon’t get too frightened theycan try to maneuver the frontyard. A pool of blood and skele-

tons, a coffinwith an undead oc-cupant and awitch boiling a sin-ister brew await brave souls tomake the trek.

The spectacle peoplewill seethis year is much more ad-vanced than his boyhood scar-ing days.

Finneytown LocalSchool District officialshave their fingers crossedwith hopes that a bond is-sue will pass on the Nov. 6ballot.

The school board ap-proved putting a 15-year1.98 mill bond issue on theballot to raise $4.7 millionfor repairs, renovationsand security at theschools.

Voterswill determine ifthe school repairs areworth the extra taxes. Theyearly cost of the bond is-sue for the owner of a

$100,000 home is $58.77 orroughly $4.90 per month.

Should Issue 46 pass,about 70 percent of thefunds raisedwould pay forroofing and paving pro-jects and about $1.1millionwould be spent replacingand updating heating andcooling systems in the dis-trict’s buildings.

“These are importantfacility needs and theyneed to be addressed,”treasurer Dave Oliveriosaid.

The bond issue wouldalso pay for security, light-ing, technology and otherprojects at the schools thatwere identified in the dis-

trict’s six-year capital im-provement plan.

The $4.7 million raisedby the bond issue wouldcover a little more thanhalf of what it will take thedistrict to accomplish thecapital projects, totaling$8.1million over six years.

To make up some of thedifference, the districtalso borrowed moneythrough theHouse Bill 264energy conservation pro-gram which gives schooldistricts the ability tomake energy efficient im-provements and use the

cost savings to pay backthe money.

“Before House Bill 264and the bond issue the onlymeans of paying for thesethings was taking it fromthe permanent improve-ment fund and the generalfund,” Oliverio said.

The energy-efficientimprovements would in-clude control systems forlighting and heating aswell as boiler replace-ments and updated plumb-ing including low-flow toi-lets and sinks.

The district said theyhaveborrowed$1.5millionthrough House Bill 264and also secured $250,000

in grants tomake the ener-gy-efficient improve-ments. They plan to paythe money back with theprojected $1.7 million inenergy savings. Addition-ally, they would take theapproximately $1.8millionnecessary to complete allthe projects from the per-manent improvementfund and the general fundover the next six years.

“We’re trying hard tosave money by doingthings that will save usmoney in the long run,” su-perintendent Alan Robert-son said. “This is an invest-ment in our buildingswhich will lower ourmain-

tenance and utility costsovertime and will be bene-ficial to the taxpayers.”

He said that each yearthe district spends $50,000to $80,000 from the gener-al fund just tomaintain thebuildings. If the bond issuepasses, it would eliminatethe need to take as muchmoney from the generalfund and it would also ex-tend the current operatinglevy an estimated threeyears.

“We’re hopeful that tax-payers will see the longterm vision,” Oliveriosaid. “This is a way to ad-dress our facility needsfor the next12 to15 years.”

incumbent Rep. SteveChabot (R-Westwood) thisfall. Chabot, 60, has heldthe seat for the better partof two decades, except forthe first two years ofPresident Barack Oba-ma’s term, when he lost toDemocrat Steve Drie-haus.

Sinnard calls beatingChabot “a pipedream”giv-en redistricting this year,something that occursonce every 10 years basedon U.S. Census populationcounts.

Ohio’s populationdidn’t grow at the rate ofother states over the lastdecade, and will lose twoseats in Congress begin-ning 2013. Therefore Ohiohad to redraw its congres-sional districts, and be-cause Republicans holdthemajority of seats in theOhio General Assembly,the plan was led last win-ter by the GOP.

Republicans now havean 8-percentage pointedge in the district uponexamination of votes in2008 and 2010 elections,according to the partisanindex calculated by thenonpartisan Ohio Cam-paign for Accountable Re-districting. The redis-tricting bumped the Re-publican index from 47.7percent to 56 percent.

The 1st District now in-cludes all ofWarren Coun-ty, no longer includessouthwest Butler Countyand swapped several com-munities in HamiltonCounty with the 2nd Con-gressional District.

City-dwellers nowform a smaller percent-age, 36 percent, of the dis-trict compared to theirsuburban counterparts.Before redistricting, ur-ban voters were 57 per-cent of the pool, accordingto an analysis by the datavisualization Mapgrapherblog.

“The lines were re-drawn as they have beenfor over 200 years,” Cha-bot said in response to Sin-nard’s allegation that theGOP gave itself an unfairedge. “There’s alwaysrousing and some com-plaining that it wasn’t fairto this party, or that par-ty.”

Two differ onstreetcar, foreignpolicy

Nomatter how the linesare drawn, Chabot says he“wouldn’t put any onecommunity over another”and does what he thinks

“is in the best interest ofthe community and thecountry.”

He argues a June voteto block future federaldollars for Cincinnati’sstreetcar project wasn’tproof he listens more tohis suburbanconstituents.

“I live in Cincinnati.Those are federal dollars... it’s my job to say wecan’t afford projects likethat,” Chabot said. “Somein Congress go for any-thing in their district –that’s howweget a $16 tril-lion debt. I continue to be-lieve Iwas doingwhatwasthe right thing.”

Sinnard says, if elect-ed, hewould support fund-ing projects – like thestreetcar – when Cincin-nati voters have voted forit – as they have twice inprevious elections.

Chabot’s top prioritiesinclude reducing govern-ment spending and grow-ing the economy by sup-porting efforts to simplifythe country’s tax code, re-move “unnecessary regu-lation on business” and re-peal the Affordable CareAct, Obama’s health carelaw.

As chairman of the For-eign Affairs Subcommit-tee on theMiddle East andSouth Asia, Chabot be-lieves America should bemore aggressive whendealing with national se-curity.

“We shouldn’t haveheaded for the exit doorsin Iraq,” Chabot said.“Obama’s attitude hasbeen and continues to bethat the United States wasthe problem ... That washis apology tour. It will dogreat damage to the Unit-ed States over the longterm.”

Democrat Sinnardcouldn’t disagree more.

He first got involved inpolitics when the UnitedStates invaded Iraq andcalls that war a “total mis-take” and one of many in-ternational conflicts initi-ated by the United Statesfor greedy self interestand not global diplomacy.

Sinnard’s platformmostly matches Obama’sgoals, he said. He likes theAffordable Care Act,though he would have pre-ferred a single-payer sys-tem.Hepromises compro-

mise with Republicancounterparts in order tomove the country for-ward. He supports com-prehensive immigrationreform that would allowimmigrants into the coun-trywhomeetminimumre-quirements and is also infavor of simplifying thefederal tax code.

Sinnard plans to sharehis platform at candidateforums this fall but con-siders mailed literature awaste.

“It sure would saysomething if Iwonwithoutany money,” Sinnard said.“I’m still looking aroundfor away to propelmyself,a Hail Mary.”

Third partycandidates wantdramatic change

Libertarian Jim Bernsand Green Party candi-date Rich Stevenson willalso appear on the ballot.

Both have run for thisseat before and say redis-tricting means unseatingChabot is even more im-possible.

Berns, like the Liber-tarian presidential candi-date Gary Johnson, wantsto dramatically scale backthe size of the federal gov-ernment. Berns is in favorof eliminating or cuttingevery federal depart-ment, but believes gov-ernment should providepublic education and na-tional security of our bor-ders.However, he says theDepartment of Educationneeded an overhaul andbelieves we should end allforeign wars and peacekeeping operations.

“Every governmentprogram always has theopposite effect it was setout to accomplish,” Bernssaid .

Stevenson has his eyeon campaign finance re-form, identifies with theOccupy movement andsaid he visited the camplast year in downtown’sPiatt Park. Stevenson be-lieves in amending theU.S. Constitution to onlyallow individual regis-tered voters to donatemoney to political cam-paigns. He also wants tore-enact the Glass-Stea-gallAct of1933,which cre-ated separate rules forcommercial and financialbanks after the Great De-pression. Congress votedto change the act throughthe years and Stevensonbelieves it could have pre-vented the Great Reces-sionhad it been left in tact.

“We should regulateagainst greed,” Stevensonsaid. “Right now, every-one in Congress isbought.”

Voters in North CollegeHill will decide on Nov. 6whether there should be aterm limit amendment tothe city’s charter.

If passed Issue17wouldlimit elected officials timein office to 12 years andwould be retroactive. Offi-cials who have served12 ormore years would be al-lowed to finish their termsand could serve in a differ-ent position for 12 years ifelected.

The amendment was

“hit the ground running.”“It would encourage

them to domore things in ashorteramountof time,”hesaid. “And I think it will en-courage more people torun.”

City council memberTomGraves disagreed.

“The citizens at largehave already implementedterm limits on politiciansand they do that by castingtheir vote every first Tues-day in November,” he said.

Graves has served sixyears as a council memberfor North College Hill andhe said that term limits

“sets the city back.”“Whoever replaces you,

in most cases, has to playcatch up,” he said. “Let’s berealistic. In the last sevento eight years for a city ofour size, we’re probablyone of the most progres-sive cities in Ohio.”

He said the success ofthe city was due to the in-telligence of the voters.

“It’s the most ridiculousthing in the world to pro-pose term limits,” he said.“You are insulting the in-telligence of the individ-uals who elected these peo-ple.”

Greenhills Council-man Glenn Drees saysthis renewal will not in-crease taxes, and if it doesnot pass the village willhave to cut services.

Hamilton County Au-ditor Dusty Rhodes saysthe levy will generateabout $193,000 per year.The estimated cost to theowner of a home with amarket value of $100,000is $100.37 per year, or$8.36 per month.

Drees said Greenhills

is seeing the same signifi-cant reductions in incomeas other local govern-ments. The village hasseen total revenue fromall sources drop from$6.8million in 2008 to $3.8mil-lion last year. He said thevillage must make morecuts if the levy renewaldoesn’t pass, includingthat the village may nolonger pay for Rumpketrash pickup.

He said the servicecosts about $199,000 an-nually. The cost would bepassed on to each home-owner .Under the currentcontract, the average costfor a homeowner is $10.25per month for Rumpketrash collection.

Greenhills asks for taxrenewal for expenses

Forest Park voters havea chance to approve a pro-gram that can save resi-dents money on their gasand electric bills.

Electric and natural gas

aggregation is on the ballotNov. 6. Voters rejected theprograms in 2010. Thereare twoballot issues– Issue8 for natural gas aggrega-tion, Issue 9 for electric ag-

gregation.Aggregation programs

allow a group of customersto join together to form alarge group that buys ener-gy for itsmembers.A largebuying group may be ableto get a better price for thegroupmembers thanaresi-dent can get on his own.

Participation in this pro-gram is purely voluntary.If Issues8and9arepassed,then each utility customerin the city would receive anotice that allows the cus-tomer to “opt-out” or notparticipate in the program.If a customerdoesnotwantto participate, all they needto do is return the noticewithin 21days. If a custom-er doeswant to participate,they don’t need to do any-thing .

The city has posted in-formation about aggrega-tion on the city’s website atwww.forestpark.org.

Mount Healthy resi-dents will determinewhether or not the cityshould adopt a charter bycastingavoteonIssue16onthe Nov. 6 ballot.

In the 2011 election,Mount Healthy voted tocreate a charter commis-

sion to develop a city char-ter. Since January, a boardof 15 members has hostedpublic meetings to draftand discuss the document.

Every registered voterwas mailed a copy of thecharter for review.

“Everything we do nowis dictated by the state,”safety service director BillKocher said. “A charter

gives thecity thehomerulepower.”

With a charter, the citywould still be responsiblefor following the laws ofthe state but residentswould have more of say asto how the city is governed.

Mount Healthy MayorJoeRoettingexplained thatthere would only be a fewchanges to local govern-

ment if the charter isadopted.

Council terms would in-crease from two to fouryears and all council mem-bers would serve at-large.The four council candi-dates that receive the high-est number of votes wouldserve for four years andthe three remaining candi-dates would serve for twoyears. The terms would bestaggered so that not all thecouncil positions would beup for election at the sametime.

The safety service di-rector position would be-come a city manager posi-tion. The duties would be

the same and the managerwould report to the mayor.

Theauditorand treasur-er positions would be elim-inated and a financial di-rector would be appointedby the city manager.

The law director wouldno longer be an elected po-sition but appointed by thecity manager.

Another change wouldbe the way the police chiefis hired. Current legisla-tion dictates that a policechief for the city must bechosen from one of the ex-isting sergeants. With the

charter, the candidatecould be from outside theforce.

“The commission was ablend of the community. Ichallenge voters to talk tothemembersof thechartercommission. I think they’repretty happy with whatthey’ve come up with,”Roetting said. “I don’t thinkthe 13 colonies were 100percent convinced aboutthe Constitution but theyknew overall that they hada good document.”

The mayor encouragedvoters with questions tocall the city to contact amember of the chartercommission at 931-8840.

Mt. Healthy voters deciding on ‘home rule’ for cityByMonica Boylsonmboylson@communitypress.com

Voters in MountHealthy will determine thefate of 7272 Hamilton Ave.on Nov. 6.

A referendum wasplaced on the ballot by resi-dentsaftercitycouncil vot-ed 4-2 to change the zoningof the property frommulti-family to retail. The prop-erty owner wanted to sellthe land to a developer forFamily Dollar.

When the petition wasgranted the legislation wasput on hold for voters to de-cide at the election wheth-er the zoning changeshould pass as the city de-termined effective Oct. 18,2011.

“It was a really longprocess back and forth butcouncil decided that the

parcel is better zonedas re-tail and not multifamily,”safety service director BillKocher said.

Mount Healthy residentKaren Arnett was instru-mental in collecting signa-tures to put Issue 15 on theballot.

“We worked with thebusiness association whodoesn’t support rezoning.There concerns were thatwe need to be careful inchoosing and allowingbusinesses into the dis-trict,” she said.

Arnett said a group ofneighborsworked togetherto draw up a list of con-cerns. They found theproperty to be too small fora retail space and also wor-ried about the increasedtraffic among other things.

One thing Arnett saidwas that by rezoning the

property the city would bestraying from their com-prehensive land use plan.

“The comprehensiveland use plan spelled outcriteria that we don’t needanymorechainstores,” shesaid. “We need to drawmore specialty shops andmedical offices.”

Mount Healthy residentLeroyMeier said thedevel-opermade efforts to do theright thing.

“I think there was a lotof incorrect informationgiven out. None of that istrue and it’s all been re-solved,” he said. “Peoplewere worried that theywere going to cut downtrees and that there wouldbe semi-trucks blockingthe road and constantly inand out of the property. Itwasn’t true and it’s ashame.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — The St. Xavier Bombersexacted a little revenge on the Beavercreek Bea-vers Oct. 25.

After playing 110 minutes of scoreless soccer,the Bombers beat the Beavers 4-2 in penalty kickstoclaimtheir third-straightDivision Idistrict title.

“It feels great,” coach Henry Ahrens said. “Itnevergetsold.We’vehadsomanytightgamesovertheyears. Someof theguys are saying, ‘howdoyoucoaches do it?’”

The victory comes nearly one year to the dateafter theBeaversbeatSt.Xavier4-2 in theregionalsemifinal last season.

Senior team captain Josh Meirose made thegame-winning kick in the final round of penaltykicks after goalkeeper Michah Bledsoe made hissecond save in four shots.

“When it got to our captain to finish it off I knewwe were good,” Ahrens said. “I put the captainthere; John (Broderick) led us off and Josh took ushome.”

Both teams came into the game shutting outtheir previous six opponents and this gamewas nodifferent.

The Bombers had a few opportunities, but theirbest chance camewith less than twominutes to goin regulation when Myles Beresford was one-on-onewith goalkeeper Justin Saliba butmissedwide.

The Beavers had a golden opportunity in thefirst sudden-victory period, but Bledsoe made aleaping save and knocked the ball over the crossbar.

“That ball was labeled,” Ahrens said about thegame-savingplaybyhisgoalie. “He’s justgrownsomuch through the years. It’s tough; hewas a juniorthatdidn’tget toplaymuchandnow(asasenior)he

prominent role for the Mo-hawks this fall, stepped in ahole and suffered a stressfracture at the GreenvilleInvitational Sept. 1.

Just a couple weeks lat-er, sophomore SydneyLambert suffered from aback injury.

Lambert didn’t havemuch cross country expe-rience to fall back on at thestart of the season, but theloss was critical becauseshe showed distance prom-ise as member of theschool’s 4x400 district titleteam last spring.

But Lambert rallied atthe Girls’ Greater Cincin-nati League meet Oct. 13.She placed 27th and tookall-GGCL honors.

“Notmanykids could dowhat she’s doing right nowon the minimal amount ofmileage she’s been able toput in,” Russo said. “It’s acombination of heart andtalent and toughness,mixed with hard work…”

Sophomore McKenziePfeifer also battled physi-cal ailments.

A lower-leg injurymani-fested itself over the sum-merandPfeiferwas forced

to fight thepain throughoutthe season.

“There were some Sat-urdays where she had justflat-out baddays.Not in thesense of running bad, butjustphysically tryingtogetthrough,” Russo said.

But when the squadneeded Pfeifer the most,the sophomore answeredthe bell and finished ateam-best 12th at districts,with a season-best time of19 minutes, 46.12 seconds.

“When it comes to bigraces, McKenzie just risesto the occasion,” Russosaid. “She’s not afraid ofcompetition. She figuresout what she needs to do toget the most out of whereshe’s at physically.”

The season’s also wit-nessed the emergence ofNatalie Lienhart.

The freshman didn’tlook like she would makemuchofan impactonvarsi-ty to start the season, but itdidn’t take her long toprove otherwise.

At the Greenville race,she defeated a field of 300runners to win the juniorvarsity race by running 22minutes flat after startingthe seasonwith times in the23-minute range.

When Tensing got hurt,Russo made the call to pro-mote the improving run-

ner.She rewarded her

coach’s decision by postinga personal best time of 19minutes, 46.68 seconds atdistricts en route to a 13th-place finish.

She’s taken more thanthree minutes off her timefrom the summer, whichastounds Russo.

“In all of my years ofcoaching, I’ve never seenthis,” he said.

Lienhart was the onlyfreshman in the Scarlet di-vision to earn first-teamhonors. The veteran pres-ence of junior Katie Oldingand senior Brenna Silberhas aided the squad alongthe way. Olding was on the4x800 relay teams thatplaced second the past twoseasons at the state cham-pionships.

At districts Oct. 20, shetook 18th, and has dis-played strong leadershiptraits throughout the sea-son, according to Russo.

“She’s an outstandingleader. If she gives us whatshe does every single day,we’re going to have oneheck of a day,” Russo said.

Silber earned honorablemention at theGGCLmeet,as did Tensing, who com-peted for the first timesince injuring herself Sept.1.

is asked to be the leader ofthe defense and makethose big saves for us.When you get to this levelyou are not going to getthrough the big gameswithout your goalie play-ingabiggamehimself andboy, did he come up big to-day.”

Whatmakesthevictoryeven more remarkable isthat the Bombers did itwithout three key parts oftheir team who are outwith injury. Kiley Sunder-haus, Austin Cummingsand Phil Albers all missedthe game and it remains tobe seenwhowill be able toplay in the regional semi-final game Oct. 31 againstMason.

“It just speaks to the

brotherhood these guysfeel for each other,” Ah-rens said. “These guysreally take the team com-mitment seriously… Weknew we had a deep teamcoming in.”

The Comets are rankedNo. 10 in the OSSCA statepoll and handed theBomb-ers their last loss this sea-son 3-0, Sept. 4.

“They are very wellcoached and they are avery complete team,” Ah-rens said. “They have ev-erything in possession: Afinisher in Jack Clark, agreat center (midfielder)in Connor Bauer, theirgoalkeeper is outstanding,so they have all the rightpieces. I hope we can givethem a good game.”

Hard workerIn an election year, it’s

hard to sort through all thecoverage, and learn aboutwhy the Ohio Statehouse isimportant. Here’s my takeon it though: the Ohio Houseof Representatives address-es the real bread and butterissues that affect our com-munities, including schoolsand local services.

I’m supporting ConniePillich to protect thesethings that are vital to ourlocal communities. Conniehas created unprecedentedaccess by holding monthlymeetings with constituents,and I know that she listensto everyone’s concerns. Shewill work harder than any-one else to ensure thatOhio’s community’s needsare protected and fought for.

No on term limitsIn 2009 a new political

group put up a slate of can-didates for Council andpresident of council to runagainst the group that I waspart of and endorsed. Ourgroup won the president ofcouncil position and four ofthe seven seats on Council.In 2011 they put up a slate ofcandidates for mayor andCouncil. Again our groupwon the mayor position and,as an outcome of the elec-tion, five of the seven seatson Council.

As a result, some mem-bers from the other politicalgroup drew up a petition forterm limits. They got therequired signatures and hadit put on the ballot. Let mebe very clear, I do not ques-tion their right to do this.However, I do question theirmotive. This is all aboutwinning. They were unableto win the president of coun-cil position, the mayor posi-tion or gain majority ofCouncil in either election.The good citizens of NCHchose our candidates overtheirs. So what they aretrying to do, through termlimits, is eliminate the can-didates the NCH citizenshave shown they have pre-ferred over their’s in aneffort to have a betterchance of winning. What isalso interesting is that Issue17 states that the term limitsare retroactive. This is justwrong. While I am not alawyer this also may beunconstitutional. Please voteno on Issue 17.

Getting the factsstraight

As a veteran, business-woman, and mom, my com-mitment to public servicedrives me. I must debunkthe wildly inaccurate, mis-leading claims from myopponent.

The biggest whopper isthat I voted for an $8 billionbudget deficit. This is im-possible: unlike Washington,Ohio cannot print money. Wemust balance our budget.Period.

Increased spending andcut education? False. Checkthe real numbers from theLegislative Service Commis-sion. The bi-partisan budgetI supported cut spending by$2 billion, protected educa-tion funding overall, andhelped Ohio recover fromthe recession. Ohio newspa-pers debunked this standardpolitical attack in 2010 be-cause it used double ac-counting, local taxes andfederal pass-through money– not state tax dollars.

What you may not haveheard is that budget cycleended with a surplus andstate tax revenues grew by$2.8 billion. Ohio’s unem-ployment rate’s droppedfrom 10.6 percent to 7 per-cent since July 2009. Morejobs and a stronger econo-my? I definitely supportthat.

Lastly, my opponentclaims I increased taxes.Again, not true: check thetax tables. Ohio income taxrates remained the samefrom 2008-2009-2010 andwent down in 2011. A biparti-san bill to protect educationfunding delayed the tax cutuntil 2011. Reasonable peo-ple can disagree about thisdecision, but distorting thetruth by saying I increasedtaxes isn’t fair to Ohio vot-ers.

Connie PillichState representative

Live within meansIt’s another election and

the Mount Healthy schoolboard continues to requestthe same failed levy amount,7.65 mills.

Now we have been told ofall the reductions that havebeen made, including out-

sourcing the school bus driv-ers and saving $828,741 thefirst year ( Northwest Press,April 5). One would wonderif by now with the consolida-tion of schools and subse-quent operational savings,taxes, energy costs, etc.would begin to balance outthe operating school costs?After all, we were promisedlower costs and better edu-cation for the students withthe new schools. Somehowthis doesn’t add up to lessproperty taxes.

In addition, is it a goodidea to propose a school levywhen a major election forpresident, Congress andother state-level officialsare to be elected? Whoknows what changes couldoccur in 2013 for schoolfunding? This levy hasfailed five times with largemargins of opposition. Thehomeowners are bearing thebrunt of increases in proper-ty taxes. Remember also, ifthe levy passes, the increaseon your property tax bill willbe retroactive. All residentsin this district have beenforced to reduce spendingdue to the economy, so thisis an extremely importantelection for a possible shiftin the way our country isrun.

Please vote no on thisrepeat school levy. Appar-ently the school boarddoesn’t agree. This electionis too important to go unno-ticed. They need to livewithin their means like ev-eryone else. Please vote onNov. 6.

Yes on Issue 17Mayor Dan Brooks, who

served 29 years, believescandidates with 12 years ormore of on-the-job experi-ence are the only ones qual-ified to deal with state offi-cials and create what hecalls “continuity.” To hiscredit, during his first 12years, he created the citymanager, and updated oursewer system.

In the last 16 years whatother major undertakingshave he and his associatesaccomplished to offsetneighborhood decline? Howhas their collective “conti-nuity” helped us? We haveincreased property mainte-nance violations, the pend-ing demolition of our pool,less police coverage, andincreased taxes.

Mr. Brooks says three of32 municipalities in our areahave term limits. However,he conveniently omitted thatmany of those municipalitiescannot set term limits sincethey’re governed by statestatutes rather than theirown municipal charters.

Term limits are both vitaland fundamental for oursmall government becausethey will encourage morepeople with different opi-nions from all income levelsto run. It will encouragecandidates to rely on cur-rent merit rather than usingtheir well-established namesto disguise flaws in theirrecent performance. Inshort, Issue 17 will keep cityelected officials serving forwho they are, not for whothey were.Nick Wietlisbach and Nick Link

As anexperienced elected official whohas successfully dealt with se-verely decreasing revenue I amprepared to deal with the toughissues facing Ohio House Dis-trict 33.

My goal as representative forthe residents of Ohio House Dis-trict 33 is to provide legislativeguidance and oversight thatresults in leadership that is in-novative and cost effective forOhio, our residents and busi-nesses. I will provide leadershipto meet the needs of our resi-dents and businesses in an everchanging financial and politicalenvironment. I will leverage myexperience and expertise as abusiness owner/founder, an elect-ed official and as a law enforce-ment officer to provide highquality representation through aculture of integrity, accountabil-ity, transparency, efficiency,dependability and personaltouch.

Unlike my opponent, I ownproperty in Hamilton County andin District 33; hence any legisla-tion that affects property ownerswould affect me equally. I amkeenly aware of the need to re-move the burden of government

from propertyowners.

With 30years as abusiness own-er I have beendirectly in-volved withthe creation ofjobs. As acandidate, Ihave helped

several young adults in locatingtraining to become skilled work-ers. I find it absolutely amazingthat my opponent has twice vot-ed against the popular and suc-cessful Jobs Ohio program, butclaims to be working to createjobs.

I am committed to creating abetter Ohio for our residents andbusinesses. I am motivated notfor today’s world, but the worldthat our grand children lookforward to.

Your vote for Tom Bryan willaddress the hard task ahead andhelp protect our future and thatof our grandchildren.

Tom Bryan is a candidate for the newOhio House District 33 which includesLincoln Heights, Lockland, ArlingtonHeights, Woodlawn, Wyoming, most ofSpringfield Township, Hartwell, Car-thage, Elmwood Place, Spring GroveVillage, Roselawn, Bond Hill, GolfManor, Pleasant Ridge, KennedyHeights and Xavier University.

This is an exciting time forCincinnati’s neighborhoods, and Iwant to share with you what’sgoing on and how you can getinvolved.

As you may have heard, thecity of Cincinnati’s Departmentof Planning and Buildings re-ceived a highly competitive grantfrom the U.S. Department ofHousing and Urban Developmentto rework and upgrade our build-ing and development regulations.We call this effort “Plan BuildLive.” As part of this initiative,we also have been working withneighborhoods, developers andnational consultants to create aForm-based Code. When it iscompleted near the end of thisyear, the Form-based Code willbe available to any Cincinnatineighborhood that wants tostrengthen the compatibility ofnew development with its uniqueexisting environment. As one ofmany new zoning tools that willbe available in the city as a resultof Plan Build Live, Form-BasedCodes will lessen the impact ofunnecessarily rigid, old-fash-ioned recommendations thatsometimes make it hard to createthe types of buildings and placesthat residents want, and willincrease predictability about theappearance of new developmentsand the approval process.

In April, more than 700 peopleparticipated in the citywide Ur-ban Design Workshop, which theDepartment of Planning andBuildings hosted as part of theForm-Based Code’s development.

An intensivedesign work-shop, held Oct.29-Nov. 1, withresidents of thefour neigh-borhoods thathave agreed tobe the firstimplementersof the Form-Based Codeoffered as a way

of continuing to provide opportu-nities for residents to help shapethe future of Cincinnati.

Residents of Walnut Hills,Westwood, College Hill or Madi-sonville (the pilot neighbor-hoods), are encouraged to be partof meetings to develop a visionfor your Neighborhood BusinessDistrict – a vision that will lay thegroundwork for the Form -BasedCode as it is enacted in yourneighborhood.

This four-day neighborhooddesign workshop features“Neighborhood Pin-Ups,” twopopular brown bag lunch presen-tations and a closing presentationon Thursday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m.(Two Centennial Plaza, 805 Cen-tral Avenue, Downtown). Pleasevisit www.planbuildlivecincin-nati.com for full details of thedesign workshop and the latestnews on the Plan Build Live ini-tiative. We look forward to hear-ing from you.

I do an inven-tory of nuts, chocolatesand candies needed forholiday baking. There’snothing worse than beingin the middle of a holidayproject and not havingthe right ingredients. It’s

the time ofyear thereare goodsales ontheseitems, sostock up.

Brandiedfruitstarter

This isone of those recipes thatcreates memories andstarts traditions. Youneed to start this withinabout a month beforeusing or giving as a giftfrom the kitchen. This iseasy and beautiful.

Now if the cans of fruitare a bit less, or more,than what’s listed below,that’s OK. And packed injuice or syrup is OK, too.I used apricot brandy butplain or peach is OK.

16 oz. can diced peaches,drained (or sliced peachesdiced)

16 oz. can apricot halves,drained and cut in fourths

20 oz. can pineapple tidbits,drained

10 oz. jar maraschino cherryhalves, drained

11⁄4 cups sugar11⁄2 cups brandy

Combine everythingtogether. Pour into glass

jar or glass bowl, coverand let sit at room tem-perature at least threeweeks before serving,stirring twice a week.Serve over ice cream orcake. Reserve at least 1cup starter at all times.

To replenish starter:To your reserved cup

of fruit, add 1 cup sugarand one of the first fouringredients every one tothree weeks, alternating

fruit each time. I’ll tastethe mixture and if itseems like it needs morebrandy, I’ll add a bit.Cover and let stand atroom temperature at

least three days beforeserving each time starteris replenished.

Breakfast pizza

Fun for kids and nicefor the weekend. Sub-stitute turkey sausage ifyou like.

8 oz. can refrigeratedcrescent rolls

1 pound pork sausage,cooked and drained (cando ahead)

2 cups shredded favoritecheese: I like cheddar andmozzarella

5 large eggs, lightly beaten1⁄2 cupmilk3⁄4 teaspoon dried oreganoBit of salt and severalgrindings pepper(optional)

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Unroll crescentrolls, separating intoeight triangles. Placewith points toward centeron sprayed 12-inch pizzapan. Press perforationstogether to form crust.Bake 8 minutes on lowestrack. Remove and reducetemperature to 350 de-grees. Spoon sausageover dough and sprinklewith cheeses. Combineeggs, milk and season-ings. Carefully pour oversausage mixture startingin the middle. Bake 30-35minutes or until crust isgolden. Serves 6-8.

Smoky black beansFor Lindsey B., who

1 small onionChipotle chilies canned inadobo sauce

2 pounds canned blackbeans, rinsed and drained

Olive oil1 cupwaterUp to 3⁄4 cup fresh orange

juice

Mince onion. Cookover low heat in a bit ofolive oil until softened.Add 1 tablespoon chipotlechilies (I take the wholecan, process the mixturein a food processor andthen it’s easy to measure)or less if you want. Cookfor a couple of minutes,then add beans, 1 cupwater and juice. Simmerand mash mixture a fewtimes until slightly thick-ened, about 15 minutes.Season with salt.

Readers want toknow

Why do recipes listunsalted butter, thenask for salt? The USDAlets dairy processorsvary the amount of saltthey add. It can be 1.5percent to 2 percent andas high as 3 percent. Youcan’t be sure how muchsalt the butter you’reusing will add to a recipe.I like using unsalted but-ter because it allows meto control the amount ofsalt in a dish. Unsaltedbutter is more fresh thansalted, since salt act as apreservative. Store extraunsalted butter in thefreezer.

I was fortunate enough toattend the grand opening of thenew EdenPURE® factory inNorth Canton, Ohio. The newplant brought hundreds of newjobs back to Ohio and reversedthe common practice of send-ing Midwest manufacturingjobs to China. Now, Eden-PURE® continues to ramp upproduction for the comingWinter with exciting newmodels and hundreds of newemployees as this Made inAmerica success story contin-ues to grow.

American Labor, Ameri-can Quality

With over 3 million porta-ble heaters sold EdenPURE®

is the best selling portable in-frared heating system inNorth America. However,like any classic, EdenPURE®

has dozens of would-be com-petitors who create Asiancopies at low prices usingcheap, foreign labor. Don’tbe fooled by these imitations.Look for the EdenPURE® lo-go and the Made in NorthCanton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.

I spoke with Neil Tyburkthe Chief Designer and Presi-dent of EdenPURE®’s NorthCanton plant who is very directin his beliefs. “We have betterdesigns, better materials and abetter work force. We can kicktheir butts in production andquality. The only advantagethey have is cheap labor.”

Save up to 49% on 2013EdenPURE®s

Now readers can save up to49% ($229 the largest savingsever on new EdenPURE®s).EdenPURE® is not just thebest-selling portable heatingsystem in North America. Asan EdenPURE® owner I rankEdenPURE® #1 for quality,safety and efficiency. Andnow is the perfect time to savelike never before on our ex-panded 2013 EdenPURE® linemade in our brand new NorthCanton, Ohio facility.

With two models Eden-PURE® can meet all of yourheating requirements 365 daysa year. We receive thousandsof letters from satisfied cus-tomers who share their heatingtestimonials many of whichyou can view at our websiteedenpure.com. This Summerwe even followed up withEdenPURE® customers from 5years ago like Gloria Smith(see her original testimonyabove) who are still just as en-thusiastic and in some in-stances saved thousands ofdollars versus costly propane.

Gloria Smith InterviewMay 20, 2012

“My name is Gloria Smithand I am a retired principalfrom Boydton, Virginia. I’vebeen us ing EdenP U R E ®

Heaters for 5 years. I think Isaved at least $15,000 over aperiod of 5 years. And that’sproven with my bank state-ments because it’s document-ed. And I feel really greatabout using the EdenPURE®

Heaters.”“Many people have called

me from all over the countrywhen they have seen the in-fomercials on TV. I’ve en-

joyed talking to them and Iwant everybody to save moneyin these hard economic times.I believe in paying it forward,so when you experience some-thing good, you want to shareit.”

Stay Comfortable 365Days a Year

“Never be cold again” isthe EdenPURE® promise.EdenPURE® provides you in-surance against the cold allyear long. Stay comfortableon those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season.I live in California but believeme it gets cold at night. Keepyour expensive furnace turneddown until it’s absolutely nec-essary. And if we are fortu-nate enough to experience amild winter as many of us didin the Midwest last year, youkeep your furnace off all sea-son and save even bigger.

New, More Ef f i c i en tModels

The engineers at Eden-PURE® listened to their mil-lions of customers and some-how managed to improve the#1 portable heater in NorthAmerica. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity thenew EdenPURE® line is moreefficient to save you evenmore money.

The EdenPURE® PersonalHeater now heats a larger area,an increase from 350 squarefeet to 500 square feet. That’sa 30% increase in efficiency!And EdenPURE® is proud tointroduce the 2013 Model 750.The new Model 750 is perfectfor larger areas and heats up to750 square feet. But the bestthing about the Model 750 isthe price. We priced the Mod-el 750 at only $50 above thePersonal Heater. This meansyou receive a 33% increase inperformance for only $50.That’s American engineeringat its best!

We all know heating costsare expected to remain atrecord levels. The cost of

heating our homes and apart-ments will continue to be asignificant burden on thefamily budget. The Eden-PURE® can cut your heatingbills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and thenstart putting a great deal ofextra money in your pocketafter that.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major

cause of residential fires in theUnited States is carelessnessand faulty portable heaters.The choice of fire and safetyprofessional, Captain MikeHornby, the EdenPURE® hasno exposed heating elementsthat can cause a fire. And aredundant home protectionsystem that simply shuts theEdenPURE® down if it sensesdanger. That’s why grandpar-ents and parents love theEdenPURE®.

The outside of the Eden-PURE® only gets warm to thetouch so that it will not burnchildren or pets. And your petmay be just like my dog whohas reserved a favorite spotnear the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses in-frared heat. And just as petsenjoy basking in a beam ofsunlight they try to stay closeto EdenPURE®’s “bone-warming” infrared heat.

The Origin of EdenPURE®

a Missouri Rancher’s Dis-covery

American’s love to tinker.We are a nation of inventorsfrom Benjamin Franklin toThomas Edison. A Missourihorse breeder named JohnJones was no exception.

Jones lived in a large draftyold farmhouse with his familyof five. They stayed warm oncold Missouri nights with anold coal furnace and plenty ofblankets.

Now Jones was always col-lecting scrap to use in his latestinventions and somewherealong the line he had picked upa large sheet of cured copper.

Jones stored the large coppersheet in his basement near thecoal furnace he labored to fillevery chilly morning.

Jones noticed somethingpeculiar. The coal furnacewarmed the copper sheet andas the furnace cooled down thecopper sheet stayed warm. Infact, the copper sheet stayedwarm for many hours andheated much of the large base-ment.

As Jones continued to de-velop a portable infraredheater he knew the copper wasthe secret ingredient thatwould make his heater differ-ent from all the rest. His cop-per heating chambers com-bined with the far infraredbulbs provided an efficientwave of “soft” heat over largeareas. The breakthrough Eden-PURE® infrared heating cham-ber was born.

The Health Secret is inthe Copper

EdenPURE®’s engineershave taken Jones’ originalconcept through revolutionarychanges. EdenFLOW™ tech-nology uses copper heatingchambers to take the energyprovided by our special SYL-VANIA infrared bulbs anddistribute our famous soft heatevenly throughout the room.

Now our copper isn’t ordi-nary. It’s 99.9% pure antimi-crobial copper from an over150 year old American ownedcompany in Pennsylvania.Researchers have discoveredcopper as an antimicrobial isfar more effective than stain-less steel or even silver. That’swhy our special antimicrobialcopper is marked Cu+ andused in hospitals on touch sur-faces. So your EdenPURE®

Never be cold again

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man withall the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look formoney saving and efficient heating in my home. I have anEdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my Californiahome and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long.

We live in an area which is known for very cold winters.Our facility is nearly 7000 square feet in area. When webegan to utilize the first unit we were amazed to see howeven the heat was for the entire living room area. We or-dered a second and a third unit which now warms the en-tire home. Much to our surprise we are saving over $250 amonth and had the lowest expense for heating we haveever experienced here. I would heartily recommend your

products to anybody who is interested in really nice, even heat in their homeand also interested in saving on their utility expenses.Dennis Crystal, Troy, MT (Retired Airline Pilot)

Enclosed you will find printouts of our electric billand gas/heating/cooking bills for 2007 - 2008. Ourgas company, AmeriGas, stated that more moneywas saved than would show up because of the costgoing up. We would turn the gas on early in themorning and turn it down to 60 degrees; We woulduse the EdenPURE® heaters from then on and theyprovided such warmth and cozy heat. Many of our

friends have informed me recently that they are going to purchase theseheaters for their homes this winter.Gloria D. Smith, Boydton, VA (Retired Elementary Principal)
