Village budget better than expectedIndian Hill’s 2012 budget
shortfall was not as bad as offi-cials expected.
The village ended the yearwith a $524,950 deficit insteadof the anticipated $1.2 millionshortfall, Councilman DanielFeigelson reported at a recentmeeting.
Income tax revenue was$760,166 higher than expected,but those gains were some-
what offset bylosses in estateand property taxrevenue, he said.
Less spend-ing on certainpublic servicesand savings ineach village de-partment also
contributed to lessening theanticipated blow to IndianHill’s 2012 budget, said CityManager Dina Minneci.
The village spent about
$90,000 less on snow removaland close to $93,000 less onstreet maintenance and repairduring 2012.
“I think it’saresultofunder-standing the state of the bud-get and (impact of) the elimi-nation of the estate tax,” shesaid.
“We’re also being muchmore prudent with many pur-chases to assure we’re gettingthe best price and evaluatinghow to make due with our cur-rent resources.”
Many communities acrossOhio will be hit hard this yearas the elimination of the estatetax takes effect. IndianHill re-ceived an average of $3.5 mil-lion annually from that tax forthe past seven years.
Indian Hill Village Councilvoted at the end of last year toraise its income tax rate forthis year from 0.4 percent to0.6 percent.
Minneci said that rate in-crease will help alleviate someof the impact the elimination
of the estate tax, cuts to the Lo-cal Government Fund and oth-er funding changeshave on thebudget. Indian Hill officialsalso plan to dip into the vil-lage’s reserves to further off-set some of those losses.
The 2013 budget shows a$735,020 surplus in the generalfund, but when capital pro-jects and bond debt paymentsare factored in the village isprojecting another $1.2millionshortfall this year, Minnecisaid.

An upcoming play willprovide an opportunity tocomplete an unfinishedworkby Charles Dickens.
Cincinnati Country DaySchool will present “TheMystery of Edwin Drood” 7p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, andFriday, March 1; and 1 and 7p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, in theJohn Whitman Keeler Thea-ter, 6905 Given Road.
What makes this playunique, though, is it is basedon an unfinished work byDickens that will allow theaudience to determine howthe play ends.
Itwashis last novel beforehe died, said director MarkFemia, who is the drama andchoir director at the school.
“After his death, many au-thors and sleuths guessedhow hewould have ended thenovel,” saidFemia. “Thismu-sical allows the audience toprovide an ending based onkey aspects of the story.”
Femia said although it is amystery the play is amusicalcomedy with a lightheartedapproach.
“We transport the audi-ence to 19th century Lon-don,” he said.
Femia said the audiencewill determine the identity ofamysterious figure featuredin the play as well as the sus-pect in the disappearance ofDrood.
He said the performancewill be modeled after theBroadway production in1985and 1986.
In other words, the audi-ence vote won’t be via Twit-ter or Facebook, but by ashow of hands or written tal-ly.
It’s all done old school,said Femia, adding there area potential of 486 differentcombinations for how theplay can end.
Femia, who has been thea-ter director at CincinnatiCountry Day for six years,immersed himself in thisparticular production. Theplay is his thesis for a mas-ters of the arts degree atRoo-sevelt University in Chicago.
Tickets are $8 studentsand $10 adults. Tickets willbe available at the door or viathe school’s website http://bit.ly/U3DhDx.

For Indian Hill Elemen-tary School fourth-graderLauren Sewell making herown candle was a historic ex-perience.
It was among a variety ofactivities which were part of
Pioneer Day at LivingstonLodge.
She and her classmateshad an opportunity to experi-ence what it was like to be apioneer settling in Ohio.
In addition to creating can-dles and a candle holder, thestudents weaved a reed bas-ket, fashioned corn huskdolls
and churned butter.“It’s better than just read-
ing a book,” said Sewell, whois a resident of Indian Hill.“You get to see how (the pio-neers) feel and what they didduring the day.”

Young adults with dis-abilities are being taughtlife applications, buildingsocial skills, interactingwith their peers and hav-ingfunatSteppingStones’newly launched program,
Saturday Young AdultClub.
Amanda Kay, SteppingStonesmanagerofrecrea-tion and leisure, said theprogram grew out of thehighly successful Satur-day Kids Club. She intro-duced the program in thefall as the result of a needto do something more forteens and young adults.
“This is a way for us togive young adults a safeoption where they canspend time with theirfriends on Saturdaynights,” Kay said. “Someof themdon’t have friendscalling home saying, ‘Whydon’t you come hang outwithme?’ So, it fills a voidinbetweenbeingakid and
becoming an adult.”The program, conduct-
ed twice a month, runsduring the school year(September throughMay)and is geared towardyoung adults ages 16-25.Participants gather everyother Saturday, usuallythe first and the third,from 4-9 p.m.
These themed eventsincludemakingandeatingdinner as a group as wellas a range of activitiessuch as games, a dance, ascavenger hunt or amovie. On average, thereare15 to 20 participants ateach club, with atten-dance growing everyweek.
Mary Ann McPherson,
mother of Sarah, 19, aMa-deria High School seniorwith Down syndromesaid, “Sarah loves it, welove it. I have told otherparents that when Sarahgoes to Stepping Stones itis one of the places thatshe feels like a rock starbecause they treat her sowell.”
Officials said one thingthe programdoes is that itpresents an opportunityfor participants to widentheir social circles, whichisnot alwaysaneasy thingto do for kids with disabil-ities – in a place that issafe, interesting andwhere the programmingis appropriate.
“When parents hear, ‘Idon’t think we can helpyour child,’ SteppingStones is the one who issaying, “I think we can,”said PeggyKreimer, Step-ping Stones communica-tions/grants director.“Older teenagers want tohangout together.Theydonot want to do a projectwith an 8-year-old. Theywant to do their own pro-grams.”
“This is a win-win situ-ation for everybody,”agreed Jennifer Coats,mother of Zachary, 17, aGlen Este High School ju-nior with autism. “Therearen’t a lot of programsout therefor teensages12-18 and Stepping Stones’really helps us. This is anew program that is a lotof fun.”

INDIAN HILL — It may be toolate Indian Hill to make a Cin-cinnati Hills League run, butthat hasn’t stopped coach TimBurch’s Braves from taking onall-comers. Whomever drawsIndian Hill in the tournament,best take note of their resume.
Out of conference, theBraves have lost to Taft andHughes from the CincinnatiMetro Athletic Conference andLoveland from the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference. On Jan. 29,they faced a bigger and deeperAnderson squad from the ECCandsent themhomewitha58-52loss.
Downall gameuntil the thirdquarter, IndianHill ran past theRedskins late in the game andleft them gasping for air on thegun lap.
Leading the way off thebench that nightwas 6-foot-8 ju-niorLucasGouldwith 22points.He often out-muscled Ander-son’s onslaught of post players
ranging from 6-foot-4 to 6-foot-8.
The undisputed floor leaderis senior Jon Griggs, who hasplayed all season on a torn ACLthat he rehabbed feverishly af-ter going down in Indian Hill’sfootball opener.
“He’s doingOK,”Burch said.“You can tell he’s getting tired.We’re trying to rest him asmuch as possible.He justwantsto be out there all of the time.”
Despite the bad wheel,Griggs is still the top scorer andassist man. Burch believes hestill has the ability to play atleast on the Division III level.
“The story of our team thisyear is JonGriggs,” Burch said.“If we have heart as big as JonGriggs this year, we’re in goodshape.”
When there’s a big shot orplay to be made, Indian Hill’sNo. 2 likely has the ball. Evenwhen he’s held down, Griggs isstill able todriveanddish topadsomeone else’s stats.
Clayton Hosmer is the sec-ond-leadingscorerand the lead-
ing rebounder at just 6-foot-2.He’s also the team’s best shotblocker.
Slightly behind Griggs andHosmer is center Gould and ju-nior guard Zach Schneiderwho’s developed a potent “float-er” in the lane.
“I think we can be a toughteamtoplay in the tournament,”Burch said.
Seniors Nick Pai and JordanConn have also started this sea-son, but sometimes give way toBurch’s developing (and taller)junior class. Both perform“dirty work” when needed.
“Theyjustwant toseeusper-form well,” Burch said. “If it’sone of our ‘bigs’ that’s going todo that, that’swhatwe’re after.”
Gould has gone from a bitplayer to someone capable ofdouble-doubles in points and re-bounds. His 22 against Ander-son was a career high.
Playing Anderson, BooneCounty and other non-CHLteams isdesigned to toughenIn-dian Hill in late February.
“That gets us ready for
something else down the road,”Burch said. “We know we haveto show up and play hard everytime.”
The final home game for In-dian Hill is Feb. 8 against Deer
Park. After two road contests,the Braves will take on theiropening draw in the tourna-ment.
“We’re not going to beshocked,” Burch guaranteed.

Could Chabot have saved lives?In the Jan. 24 Indian Hill
Journal, U.S. Rep. Steve Cha-bot (R-2nd District) wroteabout his visit with Ambassa-dor Chris Stevens in Tripoli,Libya. This visit took placeone month prior to the ambas-sador’s crude murder. Thiswas a crucial time period; itwas an amount of time withplenty of breathing room totake thoughtful action, if anyaction was needed.
Mr. Chabot does not tell usabout conversations he mayhave had with AmbassadorStevens; he does not mentionquestions, if any, that he mayhave posed. He does not in-dicate that there were prob-lems of any kind, complaintsof any type, or observations ofhis, which would indicate any
form ofmountingpotential trou-ble. Mr. Cha-bot, in summa-ry, simplystates that, “Inretrospect,perhaps mysaddest expe-rience wasspending thebetter part of
two days in Tripoli, Libya withour courageous ambassador…”.
Not long ago, SecretaryClinton was excoriated byboth House and Senate Repub-licans for her handling of the‘Benghazi Affair.’ Accusationswere hurled at her, along withquestion after demeaning
question, in an attempt tobelittle her judgment, herbehavior, and her actions, andeven her character. One bra-zen buffoon huffed that hadhe been in charge, she wouldhave been fired.
Those of us in business areoften required to make inter-national trips to form businessrelationships with customersor suppliers, and to offer ourservices, or request theirs, inan effort to further thegrowth of our businesses.These trips are well planned.The questions or presenta-tions are rehearsed. We do notspend good money on a tripthat does not seriously at-tempt to obtain the neededresults.
We expect no less from our
government representatives.It is as important to properlyinvest our taxpayer traveldollars, as it is to invest ourcorporate travel dollars. Noofficial trip should be takenwithout specific goals. Weshould not pay for sightseeingtours, or for the excitement ofsaying that you traveled toLibya.
Mr. Chabot, in two days,which is the amount of timeyou say you spent with Am-bassador Stevens, you shouldhave gotten to know him quitewell. In that amount of time,you should have gotten toknow about his family, hishobbies, his future dreams;why, you would even haveknown the name of his dog.
Mr. Chabot, is it possible,
that had you asked the appro-priate questions you wouldhave known of AmbassadorSteven’s concerns about thelack of security at his embas-sy? Would you have had timeto bring these concerns toWashington? With one monthto go, would you have hadtime to thwart the attack onhis embassy, by obtaining theneeded security?
Mr. Chabot, is it possible,that in your position on thatHouse Committee, that you,sir, may have been the oneperson that could have stoodbetween the rowdy terrorists,and the embassy, and savedthe ambassador’s life?

Last week’s questionDo you agree or disagree with
Duke Energy’s request for a 24percent increase in electric ratesand an 18 percent increase in gasrates when some of themoney isexpected to be used tomove util-ities for the streetcar project inCincinnati? Why or why not?
“NO! It is a silly project thatwill not benefit me in any way.Plus didn't they just petition tohave their tax rate reduced thusreducing funding to schools?Ridiculous!”

“I like to think that I stay in-formed about important things,but I confess that I did not knowabout this planned increase byDuke.
“Icanunderstand, especiallyin these times, why service pro-viders have to periodicallyraise their rates for their prod-ucts and services, but 24 per-cent and18 percent seems exor-bitant, especially if the move isreally being driven by this ul-tra-silly 'streetcar project,’something thatmost of us agreewe do not need.
“Compare this increase tothepostoffice's increase in firstclass postage from 45 cents to46 cents. That is a 2 percent in-crease, and thepost office is inaLOTworse financial shape thanDuke.”
Bill B.
“No, I certainly don't agreewith the raise in rates and geteven more upset when I thinkthat someof thatmoney isgoingfor the streetcar project.
“I still don't understand whywe in the county have to pay forit, butweren’t allowedtovoteonit? Seeing how high my electricbillwas forDecember I thoughtthe rates were already raised.”
Dave D.
“I wasn't aware that part ofmy increase is slated to pay formoving utilities for the street-car. That is outrageous. The in-crease should only be paid forby residents of the city of Cin-cinnati. I'll have no need to ridethe streetcar.”
T.H.
“ThatDuke is asking for rateincreases of this magnitude, re-gardless of the reason, is thebest argument I have ever seenfor why public utility providersshould not be privately held,for-profit companies.”
J.R.B.
“First, I still haven't figuredoutwhy thecitydoesn't just buysome cute recycled gas pow-ered amusement park cable carlooking things with rubberwheels and put them in service.The novelty would probablywear off before Duke finishesfightingwith the city; thereforeit will be a mute point and mil-lions of taxpayer dollars wouldbe saved.
“Asfor therate increase,nat-ural gasprices are at anall-timelow; however this electric ratehike is just a prelude of what toexpect when Duke starts shut-ting down all of the coal-firedpower plants in our area due tonew EPA regulations.
“All is not lost, Duke CEO iscrawling into bed with Obamaby replacing a coal plant with awindfarm.Thatought tosoften-up that mean old EPA!!”
D.H.
“Duke Energy is a regulatedbusiness that must justify itsrate increases based on itscosts. It will or won't make thecase with the Public UtilitiesCommission, whether youagree or not. This is like askingif you agree with the sun com-ing up in themorning. Your opi-nion has nothing to do with it.
“Somewill say they disagreebecause their budgets are al-ready stretched, So what?WouldyouratherhaveDukebe-come unprofitable and providelousy service like Long IslandLighting? Would you ratherwait for two weeks to get yourpower restored after a storm?Cut back on the data plan foryour cell phone or your cableTV service. Reliable gas andelectricity are much more im-portant.”
F.S.D.
“I disagree completely.Theeconomy is in the toilet, peopleare taking less money home intheir paychecks and Dukewants us to pay for the reloca-
tion of utilities for a street carthat isn't needed or wanted.
“The people of Cincinnatiwant the street car? Let thempay for it. This is Paul BrownStadium all over again.
“Howmany timesdo thepeo-ple of Hamilton County have tobe fleeced before they wake upand smell the rank stench com-ing from City Hall?”
J.S.K.
“Duke Energy has had prof-its of $1.61 billion in the last 12months, and now they want toincrease utility rates 24 per-cent. It has nothing to do withmoving utility lines for thestreetcar, it is all about profitsfor the out-of-state corporation.
“One only need to look backat rate increases since the saleof CG&E to see that Dukedoesn't need a streetcar to jackup rates.
“The residents of Cincinnatiwould be wise to review the im-pact of selling CG&E to an out-side corporation before hand-ing over the city's parking as-sets to yet another out-of-statecompany. If that happens, wecan expect similar rate hikes inparking too.”
B.P.S.
“This is wrong, wrong,wrong! There is absolutely nojustification for non-residentsof the city of Cincinnati to funda trolley systemwe had no voteon nor are we likely to use.
“Taxation without represen-tation is tyranny and so is pay-ing higher utility rates. I hopethe lawyers are preparing aclass-action lawsuit to stopDuke's grossmisuse of ratepay-ers' funds.”
R.V.
“I thoroughly disagree withthe plan to have a street car sys-tem in Cincinnati. It is going tobe amoney-loser andwe as citi-zens should not have to be obli-gated to finance this project.
“If there is so much moneyearmarked for this project whycan't it be deleted and set asideto help the needy and homelessduring these troubled times. Ipersonally feel that if this plandoes pass, that council shouldhave to sign on to the projectpersonally to show their truebacking with their assets.
“I think that somedayweciti-zenshave tostandup toourpoli-ticians and school systems andsay enough is enough.
“Too many people, put intocertain positions, think theyhave the right to spend others’
moneyasopencredit.Whycan'tcouncil plan years in advanceon projects and start with fund-ing immediately. Most familieshave to work on this premise tosave for that rainy day. Therehas to be projects that aremoreworthy than the streetcar pro-ject.”
D.J.
“I object to a question thatdoesn't have all the necessaryinformation. There is quite anactive effort to undermine thestreetcar project, but Duke'srate increase is about a lot ofthings.
“I don't believe the gas rateincreasehasanything todowiththe streetcar project. And forboth rate increases the increaseis only for aportion of ourbills –the part that Duke is paid fordistributing gas and electricity.Twenty-four percent or 18 per-cent is a lot of money and weought to be told what it is for –not just asked if we oppose thewhole thing because one partic-ular project is an undeterminedfraction of it.
“Because it is becoming a lotmore expensive to build any-thing – including wires andpipes – we ought to be able toconsider the increasewith a fulldiscussion.
“Maybe we can offset someof the costs with better energyefficiency and renewables pro-jects. Most people don't under-stand that wind power is nowcheaper than new coal or newnatural gas generation in Ohio.Solar panels will be cheaperstill, but not for three or fourmore years.
N.F.
“I obviously do not want theprice of utilities to be raised somuch, but it appears that our lo-cal and federal governmentsare forcing their pet projectsupon us against our wills so Iguess I expected it.
“With the feds closing up thecoal plants in the hopes that"green" energy will stop the so-called 'global warming,' weneedn't be surprised that elec-trical rates have skyrocketedand will continue to do so. Oba-ma even promised a raise inutility rates when he was run-ning for his first term, but peo-ple didn't seem to notice andelected him anyway.
“The fact that the stupid trol-ley (whichwill only cost the tax-payers a lot of money and prob-ably operate in the red) is beingtouted as part of this increasemakes me even madder. The
wording on the ballot thatcaused the trolley issue to passwas so confusing that it's nowonder it won. People voted'no,’ thinking that theywerevot-ing against the trolley. Instead,theyhadjustvoted in favorof it.
“Very sneaky, if you ask meand I hate the fact that we willbe stuck supporting this thingthat most of us will never use.It's like the increased sales taxto build two new stadiumsdowntown.After theywerepaidoff, the sales taxwas 'supposed’to be lowered to its previousrates. Nowwe're being told thatthey didn't realize that upkeepwas going to be so expensiveand that thesales tax increase isno longer enough. I can't evenafford to go to a Bengals game,so I'm paying for somethingelse that I'll never be able to'use.'
“Get used to the 'tax andspend' government rather thana 'budget and economize' gov-ernment! It's only going to bemore of the same as long as wecontinue to feed the sharkswhoare picking our pockets with noregard to what's good for thepeople.
“As usual, themiddle class isbeing squeezed with increasedcosts of everything and taxesare becoming unaffordable forthose of us who are trying tomake a living in this terribleeconomy, but who end up pay-ing for everything and every-one else.”

If there were a prizefor necessity being themother of invention, Iwould win it.
Take today, for in-stance. I wanted to make
LottieHilgefort’sCrockpotmacaroniandcheese. Itcalls fortwo eggs.Well, my“girls”(chickens)must be onstrike
because I only retrievedone egg from the nestthis morning. I needed 8oz. macaroni (2 cups) andhad 1 cup left in the pan-try. Then I couldn’t findmy Crockpot. I remem-bered I left it at my sis-ter’s house.
But I really wantedthat macaroni andcheese, so I improvised. Imade it on top of thestove, with two kinds ofpasta and with only oneegg. The result? A pot ofcreamy, cheesy, tummy-pleasing goodness. An-other culinary discovery!
Two-waymacaroniand cheese
If you want a Crockpotversion that starts withuncookedmacaroni,check out my blog atCincinnati.Com/blogs.
8 oz. dry elbowmacaroni orother short pasta, cooked(2 cups)
12 oz. evaporatedmilk1 egg (Lottie uses 2)4 cups extra sharp or sharpcheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper
Stovetop: Keepmaca-
roni warm. In large panover low heat, whisktogether milk and egg.Stir in cheese and cookjust until cheese melts.Addmacaroni and stir toblend. Season to taste.
Crockpot: Mix every-thing in Crockpot except1 cup cheddar. Sprinklethat on top. Cook on low3-4 hours (check after 3)and don’t stir or removelid during cooking.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Evaporatedmilk: Ahouse brand, like Kroger,works well and is lessexpensive than nationalbrands.
Shredded or barcheese? I like to shredmy own since it doesn’thave the anti-cakingagents that shreddedcheese has and I think theflavor is superior. Butthat’s up to you and howmuch time you have, aspre-shredded works well,too.
Herb- andspice-rubbed fishfilets with lemonbutter sauce
Can you believe Lentis almost here? You’ll befinding some good priceson seafood during Lent.
1pound tilapia or othermild white fish, cut into3-4 pieces
3⁄4 teaspoon each sweetpaprika and pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon each driedthyme and salt
1⁄4 teaspoon dry mustardCayenne to taste: start witha dash
Olive oil4 tablespoons butter
Lemon juice to taste
Combine herbs andspices together. Brushfish with a bit of the oliveoil on both sides and rubspice mixture all over.Film a nonstick skilletwith oil and when it’s hot,add fish and sear untilcooked through, a fewminutes per side. Mean-while, melt butter andstir in lemon juice totaste, or melt butter insmall skillet and cookuntil butter is a prettyamber color, about 3minutes over mediumheat, but watch so itdoesn’t burn. Stir in lem-on juice to taste. (Bycooking butter in skillet,you’ll have “brownedbutter,” a nuttier flavorthan simply melted but-ter and lemon juice).
Spoon butter mixtureover fish. I like to servewith a side of couscousthat’s been cooked invegetable broth and sea-soned with garlic andgreen onions.
Tips from Rita’skitchen
Keeping avocadosfrom turning brown:
Spray cut halves withcooking spray, wrap welland refrigerate.
Tips from readers’kitchens
My chicken cornchowder recipewas ahuge hit with readers. KitWhiteman gave her ownsignature twists to it(find her version on myblog) and I understand itwas served at a ladiesluncheon, as well. “Wecalled it Rita’s soup,” thereader said.
Readers want toknow
Can kitchen shears beput in dishwasher? I putthem in the dishwasheronly when cutting uppoultry since the shears’blades will eventually bedamaged in the dish-washer. So even if themanufacturer saysthey’re dishwasher safe,avoid it if possible. Myfave: The ones withbreak-apart blades.
Can you help?Like FreshMarket
