Principal Maureen Heintz asked parents to watch their children for symp- toms, keep them home when they are ill and take them for medical treatment to help contain the spread of the highly infectious dis- ease. Mike Samet, spokesman with the Hamilton County Public Health Department, said the early signs of per- tussis are similar to the common cold: runny nose, sneezing and a mild cough. After one to two weeks, the cough becomes more se- vere and spasmodic.

Adults and children who have had the DPT immunization may have a milder disease. Pertussis can cause seri- ous illness with sometimes fatal complications in young infants and those with preexisting respira- tory disease. Complications may include ear infections, loss of appetite, dehydra- tion, pneumonia, encepha- lopathy (brain disorders) and death. Unimmunized people are also at risk. People with pertussis are also infectious for about five days after they begin taking antibiotics. The Ohio Administrative Code re- quires those who are being treated with antibiotics be isolated for five days after beginning the course of treatment. “This means if your child is diagnosed with Pertussis, he or she must remain at home, and may not attend school, daycare or other ac- tivities until 24 hours after the five full days of antibi- otics are given,” the letter says. The letter also suggests parents ask their doctors if it is time for a new com- bined pertussis/tetanus booster shot, also called Tdap, available for adults and children over 11 years of age. Samet says the health de- partment is not seeing a jump in whooping cough. “We are seeing a downward trend at this point,” he said. He added that the depart- ment provides schools and daycare facilities with let- ters but there is no require- ment to send them. “It is a good health practice, though,” he said.

Rosiello said the town-ship is working withGreat Parks of HamiltonCounty and applying forgrant funding to turn theold railroad line into ahik-ing, biking and fitnesstrail.

The trail would run be-hindtheplannedHarrisonGreen development an-chored by Graeter’s icecream and Dewey’s pizzaon Harrison Avenue, andcould play a role in at-tracting future develop-ment to theHarrisonAve-nue corridor, he said.

Extending the trail far-ther northwest along the

railroad line and connect-ing it to Veterans Park isthe township’s long-termgoal, Rosiello said. Thetownship would workwith The Christ Hospital,which owns a portion ofthe railroad property be-tween Hutchinson Roadand Veterans Park, andother property owners tomake the project happen,he said.

Trustee David Linnen-berg said he’s been push-ing for more sidewalksand bike paths in thetownship since he joined

theboard,andhesupportsthe plan to build a bikingand hiking trail.

He said he likes thefact the trail would runparallel to Harrison Ave-nue, but not directlyalongside the busy road.

Trustee Rocky Boimansaid the board has beenlooking for ways to im-prove recreational op-tionsandbring innewres-taurants in order to at-tract new families andgive residents a reason tostay in Green Township.

He said a quality bik-ing and hiking trail is oneof the amenities familiesand residents like to see.

“It has a lot of poten-tial,” Boiman said.

Hyle said the townshiphopes to close on the pur-chaseby theendofFebru-ary.

White Oak residentsGeorge and Arlene Rohrcelebrated 65 years ofmarriage in November.

While Arlene saysthere is no secret to mar-ital success, the coupleadmits there are a coupleof practices that havehelped their relationshipstand the ultimate test:the test of time.

George and Arlenewere married Nov. 20,1948, at St. Margaret Ma-ry Church in North Col-lege Hill, where theygrew up.

They lived in the sameneighborhood andwent tothe same high school, butthey didn’t really date un-til after George camehome from the service in1946. They dated two

years before they mar-ried and started theirfamily.

They have two sons,David and Dale, who bothlive within a couple miles

of their parents’ home.Their have seven grand-children and 19 great-grandchildren and alsonearby and get togetheroften to celebrate birth-days, holidays and otherfamily events.

George and Arlene saythat family time is one se-cret to a long and happymarriage.

“We always did thingsas a family,” he said. “Wetook family vacations to-gether until the kids weregrown. We like spendingtime together. Our boysare close by and we stillspend time together. Weare close-knit.”

That closeness paysdividends. When the cou-ple celebrated their anni-versary at theClovernookCountry Club in Novem-

ber, their kids and grand-kids had gifts; gifts oftime and help.

“They gave us thingslike ‘I’ll come put yourChristmas lights up,’”George said. “Doingthings. That meant a lot.”

Another secret seemslike a no-brainer. Find apast time you both enjoy.George and Arlene saythey were avid golfers,sometimes planning tripsaround their sport.

“We wintered for anumber of years in Flori-da and enjoyed playing,”George said.

The last is easy to say,not always easy to do:communicate. Arlene andGeorge say they don’tfight. They talk throughthings together and makedecisions together. Theyare not distracted by elec-tronics: George says thecouple doesn’t have acomputer although hissons and grandkids haveoffered to get one forthem.

“I don’t see the need,”he said.

Despite their success,the Rohrs say they don’tgive marriage advice totheir kids or grandkids.“It’s hard to give advice toyoung couples now,” Ar-lene said. “They live in acompletely differentworld than the one westarted out in.”

VickieGeckle, a teach-er at St. Ignatius LoyolaSchool, has earned Na-tional Board Certifica-tion.

As part of the certifi-cation process, candi-dates complete nine as-sessments that are re-

viewedby trained teachersin their certificate areas.Geckle joins her fellowteachers at St. Ignatius,Angela Hawley, CarolynMilheim, Laura Sieve andBeth Siemer, who also at-tained this status. Lessthan 3 percent of teachersnationwideareboardcerti-fied.

Geckle is a graduate ofUniversity of CincinnatiandhasbeenteachingatSt.Ignatius for 12 years.

“I love teaching, and Ilove teaching at Saint Igna-tius,” Geckle said. “I haveso much support at Saint I,both pragmatic and spiri-tual, that I feel thisachievementbelongsto theentire community.”

COLERAIN TWP. — It’snot every day you see fiveplayersfromthesamehighschool committing to thesame college.

That’s just what North-west High School footballplayers Keonte Chambers,Cory Roberson, DariusJohnson, Keshun HortonandTristanSnowaredoing.The quintet took part inNorthwest’s Signing Dayceremony Feb. 7 wherethey all signedwith theNo-tre DameCollege Falcons.

Horton was the first tocommit to the Falcons andafter that it was a chain re-action.

“It was like once onecommitted, then anothercommitted and it just felllike that,” Chambers said.

Chambers, an offensivelineman, didn’t realize themagnitude of his and histeammates’ decision untilhe woke up Wednesday,Feb. 5, and watched otherstudent-athletes sign thedotted line thathewouldbespending the next four

years with four of his clos-est friends.

“It was crazy,” Cham-bers said of that morning.“… I just thought about usfive going together andwaking up with the samepeople you’ve been aroundsince elementary school isgoing to be just phenome-nal.”

The entire group hasknown of each other sincethe pee-wee football dayswhere they either playedwith or against each other.They led Northwest to itsfirst postseason victory inschool history when theybeat Harrison 56-35 Nov. 8in the first round of the Di-visionIplayoffs.Theywantto continue that success to-gether at the next level.

“It’s justanhonortocon-tinue on what we startedhere,” Roberson said, whoplans to continue playingquarterback at NotreDame College. “I just can’twait to see what we can dotogether for the next fouryears.”

The Division II Falconshaven’t reached .500 sincegoing8-0in2009.Thegroup

ofKnightswould lovenoth-ing more than to have ahand in building up theFal-con program much likethey did at Northwest.

“We just thought goingin, like what we did withthis program,we built it upand left a goodmark on it,”Johnson said, who will ei-ther play wide receiver ordefensive back for NDCcoach Adam Howard. “Wedidn’t get that (state cham-pionship) ring here, so nowwe all decided to stick to-gether and go to college to-gether and hopefully getthat ring andwin a champi-onship.”

Snowwas the last of thegroup to commit, but it’s adecisionhetalksaboutwitha glowing smile across hisface.

“I was just thinking thatIwasgoing tobewith someof my closest friends fromhigh school and get achance to play four moreyears of football withthem,” the wide receiversaid. “We all really havethat connection alreadyand this will just help withthat process evenmore.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —There is no extent towhich St. Xavier HighSchool bowling coachAlan Runkel won’t gothrough to get his guysready for the postseason.

It’s possible that whenyou walk into BrentwoodBowl you could see Run-kel on his hands andknees halfway down alane pushing oil everywhich way just to ‘spicethings up’ a bit for hisguys in preparation forwhat’s to come over thenext month.

“(Brentwood Bowl) isvery cooperative with usso I actually go out thereand screw the lanes up tomake them harder forthe boys to practice onbecause the (postseason)won’t be on the standard,typical, recreationalhouse shot that we bowlon,” Runkel said. “…We’ve been practicing onsome very difficult laneconditions for the lastfew weeks, so hopefullythat paysoffwhenwegetto the (postseason).”

If that isn’t enough,the Bombers (11-8) haveencountered one of thetoughest schedules in thecity, much of whichcomes from their ownleague. Of their eightlosses, seven have cometo Greater Catholic

League South opponentswith the other coming toMiddletown who is cur-rently ranked No. 2 inThe Enquirer Division Iarea coaches’ poll.

The Bombers havebeen in six matches de-cided by less than 100pins, winning three ofthem. It’s a result Runkelsays sticks with himmore than his bowlers.

Senior Kevin Polkingis an interesting story.His 216.2 average ranksfirst in theGCLSouth de-spite being just a second-year bowler with theBombers. According toRunkel, Polking didn’tbelieve he was goodenough to bowl for St. Xas a freshman or sopho-more, but his two-handedapproach has landed himat the topofhis game justa year and a half later.

“(Kevin) is a gym rat,but in a bowling center,”Runkel said. “Besidesour own schedule wekeep, on Sundays and

Saturdayshegetsoutandbowls for a couple ofhours. He probablybowls an additional 20games a week. He jug-gles three jobs, is an hon-or student and he workshard at it.”

Senior Ben Weinber-ger is having anotherphenomenal season afterearning GCL South Ath-lete of the Year honorslast season. His 210.1 av-erage sits fourth in theleague and he’s doing iton nearly half a wrist.

“… He’s probablybowling on a wrist that’s60 percent, 70 percent,maybe, and he’s still av-eraging (210.1),” Runkelsaid. “I don’t know if he’ll(be GCL South Athlete ofthe Year again), but forwhat he’s been able to dowith 60 or 70 percent of awrist is absolutely in-credible. As I told ourguys, all you can do isthrow the ball down thelane is the proper man-ner. ”

St. Xavier’s Ben Weinberger keeps watchful eyes after herolls a shot during the district bowling championships atBeaver-Vu Bowling last season. The senior ranks fourth inthe GCL South with a 210.1 average this season for the11-8 Bombers.FILE ART

Recently, the MetropolitanHousing Authority approvedthe development of a seniorliving facility on Jonrose Ave-nue.

This facility would sup-plant a number of problemproperties that have been indecline for sometime andworst of all, have attractedviolent criminal drug activity.

This development will costColerain Township taxpayersnothing. This project has beenin development since lastsummer and was fully dis-cussed at a town hall last fallat Struble Elementary Schoolin the Jonrose neighborhood.

At that town hall there wasoverwhelming support fromapproximately 100 residentswho would be directly impact-ed by this project. Further,

our policecanvassed theadjoiningneighborhoodgetting feed-back. I’vepersonallyattendedmeetings withmultiple busi-ness owners insouthern Col-erain, all of

whom believe this is a tremen-dously positive development.

Some have questioned theloss in tax revenue and theopportunity to bring in a pri-vate business or other devel-opment. The loss in tax reve-nue as it relates to these prop-erties is minimal. The town-ship is constantly exploringnew business investment all

over our community. Therewas little to no interest in theprivate sector in redevelopingJonrose.

Those that may criticizethis project disregard theneed for long term, sustain-able solutions to take back ourneighborhoods. What we maylose in the short term pales incomparison to the potential tohelp stabilize and revitalizethe southern Colerain corri-dor – which may serve to re-verse revenue decline in thelong term.

There is no magic bullet,but I commend Colerain’sleadership team for takingsmall steps to rebuild ourneighborhoods. This cannot beaccomplished without somerisk taking and compromise.As I have said many times,

Colerain cannot afford to becomplacent. We must takesome calculated risks andinnovate to accomplish ourmission of becoming a best inclass community.

For decades, the Jonrosearea and many of our neigh-borhoods have been left tofester and have, in fact, falleninto significant decline, put-ting our residents’ safety atrisk.

We cannot wait to reversethis trend. We cannot continueto ponder and be afraid to takeaction. We owe it to the resi-dents to work every day tomake our community better.This is one piece of the puzzleand the project has been de-veloped as partnership be-tween government, citizens,and business.

I can honestly say all in-volved are intentioned tomake Colerain Township abetter place for our residentsand our business. Within yourtownship government alone,this project has developedthrough collaboration be-tween our administrators,planning, police and fire de-partments.

We see all facets of yourlocal government workingtogether to find creative solu-tions to problems that havegone unsolved for way toolong. This is a fine example ofsmart government and I com-mend our administration’sleadership.

Township spending iscausing resident concern

Once again, Green TownshipFiscal Officer Tom Strauss hascarefully excluded one very im-portant number from his now an-nualstateof thetownshipfinancesreport.

Since its inception in 1997, thetax increment financing has andwill continue to generate fundsthat are totally at the discretion ofthe whims of the trustees exceptfor the restrictions on salary andbenefits for employees.

Question: If the township wereto contract out services to otherproviders that are not currentlytownshipemployeeswould thatbea valid expenditure of TIF fundspermitted by state law?

By his own figures, that wouldmean that more than $8.5 millionannually would bemade availablefor public services and other pro-jects that township unionized per-sonnel perform now.

And, since thenear termfutureof former state of Ohio revenuesof all types has been reduced an-nually by nearly $5 million, one

might see that the surplus that thetownship is actually accruing ap-proaches $4,000,000 annually.

With the still flat, if not declin-

ing, housing values and the con-tinuing soft economy, it is wellpast time for some innovative outof the box thinking. Spending, notrevenues, is the consistent factoratall levelsofgovernancestartingwith Uncle Sam.

Bold leadership requires inno-vation and the necessity to gowhere you haven't gone before.The efforts to increase long termrevenues through the JEDDagreements is a good start.

Everyone knows the bettertime to install smoke detectors isbefore you have a fire.

It’s time to see that, as far asconsidering options for either in-creasing taxes or cutting spend-ing, where there is smoke, therealso is fire. It is time to put thefires of excessive spending outfirst.

As for precedent of this kind ofthinking, I suggest that Mr.Strauss and the township trusteesGoogle Gov. Scott Walker of Wis-consin.

During a ColerainTownship Board ofTrustees work sessionthat denied public input,the trustees passed aresolution to authorizethe construction of lowincome housing on Jon-rose Avenue to beowned and operated byCMHA.

Unlike homeowners,this housing owned byCMHA enjoys no proper-ty taxation. CMHA offi-cials state they employ aPayment in Lieu of TaxesProgram to offset the lossin tax revenue. A reviewof this PILOT programaffirms CMHA propertiesessentially receive publicservices at 1/28th the taxrate paid by surroundingproperty owners.

Colerain trustees, bytheir actions in removingproperties from the taxrolls and providing taxreductions for business,are increasing the burdenon homeowners and resi-dents, who currently pay80 percent of the taxes.They clearly want home-owners to bank roll theleaking tax bucket andpick up the tab for theirincreased spending. Thisis a disturbing trend andruns counter to the con-servative mantra whichthey embraced whenrunning for re-election.

This is a townshipwhere the 2010 censusrevealed 29 percent of thehouseholds have a totalcombined income of lessthan $35,000 per year and45 percent of the house-holds have total combinedincome and benefits of$50,000 per year or less.Those who are conserva-tive and fiscally mindedshould be speaking outand holding their trusteesaccountable about boththe increased spendingand shifting tax burdentaking place.

The Jonrose CMHAPublic Housing project inColerain Township or aCMHA public housingproject anywhere else inHamilton County for that

matter,places anunfair taxburden onpropertyowners andthose whoare renting.

The PI-LOT Pay-ments forpublic hous-ing need to

be sufficient to cover thecost of all the servicesprovided to public hous-ing residents. Since Hous-ing Choice Voucher (Sec-tion 8) properties thatparticipate in CMHA paytaxes, in principal, itmakes sense for the pub-lic properties of CHMA topay their full fair share ofthe cost of services pro-vided as well.

In balancing the needfor affordable housingour elected officials andtheir appointees mustaccount for and be trans-parent about the totalcosts of providing publicservices for this and allCMHA public housingprojects. The full costs ofthese public servicesmust be reimbursed aspart of the PILOT Pay-ment Program and notpassed on to hard workinghome owners alreadyhard pressed by a pooreconomy and risingprices.

Importantly, the estab-lished procedures of boththe Colerain trustees andthe CMHA prevented afull and open public de-bate on this issue. With noopen debate by our elect-ed officials and theirappointees the increasingtax burden on propertyowners equates to tax-ation without representa-tion.

These matters deserveserious discussion andreconsideration by ourelected officials, theirappointees and their con-stituents.

Feb. 5 questionThe Bengals have asked Hamilton County for

control of the naming rights to Paul Brown Stadi-um. Should the county turn over the namingrights? Why or why not? What names would yousuggest for the stadium?

“Stadium, arena and ball park naming rightsbring in $5-20 million per year. I have no prob-lem with the Bengals controlling the namingrights if:

“1. They sell to the highest bidderwithHam-ilton County also involved.

“2. 65percent of themoneygoes towards sta-diummaintenance offsetting county input.

“3. There are no other entanglements to thisdeal such as the height of Banks structures.

“4. The roll back of property tax is reinstat-ed.

“5. The Bengals sign a 10-year lease exten-sion.

“My guess is this will not get done. Go Fig-ure!”

FEBRUARY 12, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE

Today is a bread bak-ing day. The idea actuallystarted yesterday whenmy friend Joanie Manzo,a Loveland reader,brought me a loaf ofhomemade cinnamonbread. Divine! So it gotme in the bread bakingmood. I didn’t have timefor cinnamon bread butknew I’d have time tomake this easy recipe forItalian bread. I kept oneloaf for us and sent theother to Tony and Deb-bie, our neighbors. Withthis wicked icy weather,a warm loaf of breadwith a bowl of steamingstew is a comfortingsupper.

Italian bread forbeginners andeveryone else

I like this recipe forits simplicity. The flavorand texture is like thekind you get at a bakery.The crust is a bit crispand pale gold. I’m givingdetailed instructionshere. Check out my blogfor tips on kneading andstep-by-step photos. Ifyou want, sprinkle poppyseeds on the bread aftershaping.

1package (1⁄4 oz.) active dryyeast

2 cups warmwater (110degrees to 115 degrees)

Pinch of sugar to feed yeast1 teaspoon sugar2 teaspoons salt51⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

Stir yeast in warmwater, adding a pinch ofsugar to “feed” the yeast.It’s ready when it looksfoamy on top, a fewmin-

utes. Pourinto mix-ing bowland addsugar, saltand 3 cupsflour. Beaton mediumspeed for 3minutes.Pour inremainingflour and

mix on low to form softdough. On very lightlyfloured surface, kneaduntil smooth and elastic,about 8 minutes or so. Itmay be sticky at first,but will get smooth, like ababy’s bottom. Place ingreased bowl, turningonce to grease top. Coverand let rise in warmplace until doubled,about 1 hour or so.

Punch dough down.Divide in half. Shapeeach into a loaf. Thereare two ways to do this:Simply make loaf shapewith your hands about 12inches long, or roll doughinto an approximate 12-inch by 7-inch rectangle.Roll up tightly from longside, pinch seams to sealand place seam sidedown on sprayed orparchment-lined pan.Cover and let rise untildoubled, 30-45 minutes.With sharp knife, makefour shallow slashes

across top of loaf. Bakeat preheated 400 degreesfor 20-25 minutes, oruntil golden.

Tips» Make this by hand?

Of course, and you get aworkout, too!

» Measure accurately.Flour settles as it sits.Whisk a bit or stir beforemeasuring. Measure byspooning lightly into cupand leveling off withknife.

» Howwarm is 110-115degrees? Best to use aninstant read thermom-eter, which is inexpen-sive and accurate. Wateris just right when you putsome on your wrist andit’s warm enough for ababy to drink from a

bottle.» How to tell when

dough is doubled. Risingtime is a guide only. Usefingers to make indenta-tion about 1⁄2 inch intodough. If the indentationremains, the dough hasdoubled. For the secondrise after shaping, makea small indentation in thedough near its side. If thedent remains, the doughis ready to bake.

Good-for-you eggscramble

Adapted from an EllieKrieger recipe. Februaryis heart month, so here’sa recipe that fills the billfor health but doesn’tsacrifice flavor. I likethis stuffed into a wholewheat pita spread with

mashed avocado andsprinkled with a littleFeta.

Olive oil1⁄2 cup red onion, diced2 Roma tomatoes, diced4 whole eggs4 egg whitesPalmful fresh dill, chopped,or 1 teaspoon dried leaves

Salt and pepper

Film nonstick panwith olive oil, about atablespoon. Add onionand cook a couple ofminutes until soft, thenadd tomatoes and cookanother minute. Put inbowl and set aside. Beateggs together. Pour intoskillet and cook untilalmost set, stirring fre-quently. Drain excessliquid from tomato mix-

ture and stir into eggs.Stir in dill, season totaste.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing avocados:Yes, you can. JungleJim’s had them on sale soI bought a lot, mashedthe flesh, squirted withlemon juice to keep thecolor and froze it.

sampling tickets and havemore than 20 differentcraft beers from which tochoose. Food from PriceHill Chili will be availableforpurchase,but theeventwill feature a limited me-nu.

Beltsos said he and fel-lowCivicClubboardmem-ber and amateur beer con-noisseur Charles Bazeleydecided last year PriceHill needed its own beershowcase.

“There are beer festi-vals all over thecity,”Belt-sos said. “Why shouldn’twe have one?”

Longtime Price Hillresident and Civic Clubmember Marilyn Schutte,whosehusband,Bob, is theclub’s treasurer, said theyreally enjoyed last year’sBeerfest and they plan onattending again this year.

“It waswonderful,” shesaid. “Everyone was in agreatmoodandreallyhap-py.”

She said gatheringssuch as the beer festival

provide opportunities forneighbors to catch up dur-ing the winter, and it’s alsoa goodway to bring peopleto PriceHill who aren’t fa-miliar with the neighbor-hood and what it has to of-fer.

“It’s just a neat event,”Schutte said. “It’s a funway to spend an after-noon.”

Not only does the festi-val give people a chance tosample locally made beerand micro brews, Beltsossaid it also serves as afundraiser for the CivicClub.

“We sold out last year,”he said. “It worked outwell.”

Only 150 tickets will besold for the event. The $20ticket also includes a com-memorative samplingglass.

Tickets are available atPrice Hill Chili.
