A judge will decide nextmonth whether to approve acash settlement for taxpayersin the Indian Hill Exempted Vil-lage School District.
If approved, $4.6 million willbe available for refunds as partof a lawsuit filed by the Com-mittee for Responsible SchoolSpending. Additional moneywill also be paid to attorneys aspart of the settlement.
A hearing will be at 8:30 a.m.Friday, Jan. 8, at the HamiltonCounty Courthouse, 1000 MainSt., Room 340.
Taxpayers who paid taxes tothe district as part of their semi-annual tax payments in 2011,2012, 2013 and 2014 will be enti-tled to a refund.
During its November meet-ing, the Indian Hill school boardapproved a $5.5 million pay-ment to taxpayers and attor-neys as part of a recent settle-ment of a property tax lawsuit.
The lawsuit stems from aninside millage decision made bythe board in 2009 which permit-ted the board to move 1.25 millsof inside millage to fund perma-nent improvements. The stateallows for an inside millagemove without a public vote.
A group called the Commit-tee for Responsible SchoolSpending, which formed short-ly after the decision by theboard, contended the move wasunnecessary since the districthad an estimated $24 million incash reserves at the time.
The committee fought tohave the tax increase over-turned by filing appeals withboth the Ohio Board of Tax Ap-peals and the Ohio SupremeCourt, which eventually ruledthat the additional revenuefrom the outside mills was notrequired.
Earlier this year, the boardrequested the 1.25 mills not be
levied in 2015 and said home-owners would be reimbursedfor additional money.
Shortly after, a lawsuit wasfiled by Committee for Respon-sible School Spending, seekingmore than $5 million.
The matter has been in litiga-tion for several months.
If the settlement is ap-proved, the specific amount tobe refunded to the taxpayerswill be determined, said HarveyRosen, settlement administra-tor.
Rosen said notices will likelybe sent to taxpayers in March orApril.
The taxpayers will have an
option whether to accept the re-fund or donate it to the IndianHill Public Schools Foundation.
“This is one more step to-ward an ultimate resolution ofthis matter for the district andtaxpayers,” SuperintendentMark Miles said.
Rosen said if anyone wishesto air a grievance or objectionregarding the settlement, itmust be filed with the HamiltonCounty Common Pleas Court byTuesday, Jan. 5.
Anyone seeking additionalinformation on the settlement,can go online towww.indianhillsettlement.comor call 216-566-9917.

“Excellent neighbors in the usualsense.”
That’s how Carl Studerus, 89,describes his Kenwood neighborsof the last decade, Ed and MarthaCapannari. As neighbors, they havelong been friends.
Studerus has adult daughterswho no longer live in the area. Onelives in Atlanta and the other Bur-bank. Yet he never lacks for compa-ny or support. When he goes out oftown, the Capannaris look after hishouse. When it snows, they helpwith snow removal and so forth, hewrote in his letter of nomination forNeighbors Who Care.
“Because we each have two bi-chon dogs and interests in tennisand other sports, we became muchmore neighborly,” Studerus wrote.“They frequently ask me to dinneror to participate in their activities.”
This summer, however, thingschanged when Studerus fell from aladder while trimming the hedge.
“Knowing that Martha was anurse, I called them for help,” hesaid. “They came over immediately,took me to the hospital and stayedwith me until I was examined andassigned to a room. Fortunately,there were no serious injuries. Ispent three days in the hospital andthree weeks in a rehab facility.”
Martha Capannari was very
humbled by Studerus’ nominationfor Neighbors Who Care.
“I feel lucky he’s been in ourlife,” she said.
In June, when Studerus fell, Ca-pannari was off on vacation andavailable to help and accompanyhim to the emergency room. Theinjury was very serious, a fracturedpelvis. Despite the serious nature ofthe injury, Capannari said that shealso knew that Studerus would wantto be recovered in time for theWestern & Southern Open in Augustwhere he’s an usher. Having a goalis helpful.
“And by God, he did it,” she said.He was able to once again serve asan usher at the open.
The friendship shared by theCapannaris and Studerus is specialand extends to their children andMartha Capannari’s mother as well.
“It’s just been lovely. A lovelyexchange,” Capannari said. “I don’tknow how life has put us together,but it’s sure been a blessing.”
Clearly Studerus agrees. Beforehis accident, the families wereclose. After the accident, they havebecome even closer.
“They have made every effort tomake me feel like a part of theirfamily. They are two of the mostexceptional and caring people that Ihave ever known,” Studerus wrote.
Accident brings Kenwoodneighbors even closer

Caring forneighbors ‘a naturalthing’
At first, it was an elder-ly couple across the street.Wanda Owens, now 74,helped take care of theirneeds, doing their shop-ping, and taking them todoctor appointments.
When they died, shebegan to help anotherelderly neighbor, who wasconfined to a wheelchair.Owens looked after heralmost daily, until theneighbor died.
In the 52 years she haslived in her house, Owenshas always taken care ofher Rossmoyne neigh-bors.
When a friend’s hus-band was diagnosed withParkinsons disease, andthey moved to a nursinghome, Owens visitedfrequently, and helpedher friend after herfriend’s husband died.
When that friend alsodied, Owens made sureher wishes were honored,and tended to her beloveddog until he, too, died,scattering his ashes be-side his owner’s grave.
Her own 90-year-oldmother was no longerable to live by herself, soOwens moved in with her,and tended to her everyneed until she died at age97.
When her mother-in-law moved into a nursinghome, she visited herweekly, brought her freshlaundry, and took homeher dirty clothes. She
continued this until herdeath at 98.
“I feel very blessed inmy life, because I’ve hada good family and a lot ofgood friends and I’ve hadthe capability to help a lotof people.”
“It just seems like anatural thing for me todo,” Owens said quietly.
Owens suffered lossesof her own with the deathof her 35-year-old daugh-ter and the loss of herhusband at age 55, bothfrom cancer.
After her husbanddied, she began volun-teering at Hospice.
On top of volunteering,and taking care of others,she raised two daughters
and was “daycare” and“kindergarten teacher”for her two grandchil-dren, and recently, hertwo great-grandchildren,while their parentsworked, according to BobMorrow, friend to Owensfor 57 years, and boy-friend of 20 years.
“I know of no one morethoughtful, caring andhelpful than her. Throughall of this, she has been arock and is always cheer-ful,” he said.

Before heading out tothe local park to fly anew Christmas toy like aremote control airplaneor drone, you mightwant to check the rules.
There are some parkdistricts that restrictthe use of any motorpropelled devices ex-cept those used to trans-port people to and fromthe parks.
The Cincinnati ParkDistrict and AndersonPark District are twosuch entities wherethese types of toys areprohitied.
Interim BusinessServices Manager forCincinnati Park Boardconfirmed that no flyingapparatus are allowedwithin Cincinnati Parks.She said she doesn’tknow why the rule is inplace, but Park BoardRule No. 32 addresses“Flying Apparatus andMotor Propelled Vehi-cles.”
Per the rule: “Exceptas expressly set forth inthese Regulations, noperson shall operate, fly,launch, drive, or use anymotor propelled vehicle,or flying apparatus orother vehicle (exceptmotor vehicles drivenon roadways designedfor that purpose subjectto any separate reg-ulation thereof) on orover park property,including but not limitedto airplanes, balloons,gliders, hang-gliders,boats, snowmobiles,go-karts, rockets, pow-ered model planes, mo-torbikes, motorcycles,or automobiles, exceptwith the written permis-sion of the park boardand except within suchareas as may be desig-nated by the park boardand except in compli-ance with any reason-able safety regulations
set by the park boardand made a condition ofany consent.”
Anderson Park Dis-trict has similar rules inplace, and this summeradded drone to the list.
“As far as remotecontrol planes, heli-copters, things like that,we don’t permit them inthe parks,” executivedirector Ken Kushnersaid. The Anderson ParkDistrict’s policy pro-vides an opportunity forthe parks director togrant permission. Forreasons of surveyingproperty or a search, forexamples, Kushner said
he would consider mak-ing an exception. But ifthe device is being usedpurely for recreational
purposes, it’s not per-mitted in the AndersonParks.
Overall, Kushner said
the parks haven’t had aproblem. If someone isdiscovered violating thepolicy, they are respect-
ful once informed, hesaid.
Not all parks prohibitdrones or other motorpropelled devices.There are no rules ban-ning them in communi-ties such as the Villageof Evendale, PierceTownship or in Syca-more Township. Therereally hasn’t been aproblem with drones,Sycamore TownshipAdministrator GregBickford said.
“If and when it be-comes an issue I amsure we will take a lookat it,” he said.

In 1982, at the request of Montgo-mery City Council, Montgomery Wom-an’s Club took on the task of deco-rating downtown.
The first year was treated as anexperimental pilot project becausethere was not enough time to buy per-manent decorations; fresh greenery,bows and lights were used.
During the spring of 1983 a masterplan for holiday and seasonal deco-rations was drawn under the directionof the MWC Public Affairs Committee.Carol Wooledge was involved with thedesign, which was modeled on Wil-liamsburg, Virginia.
The club couldn't use fresh greensand fruit because they would have tobe continually replaced as the itemsturn brown and there was a lack offunds for such a high-end project.
In 1997 Montgomery Woman’s Clubtook over the entire project of down-town decorating and direction of thevolunteers.
Funds were made available fromthe Montgomery Woman’s Club Fi-nancial Advisory. Member NancyCleary was serving on the city com-mittee involved in beautification andwith Ann Sexton (president 1996), theMWC agreed to take on the whole pro-ject of downtown decorating for theCity of Montgomery.
Nancy and Arlene Wojcieszak orga-nized downtown decorating with thesupport of the city. MWC, the Beautifi-cation Committee, the City of Montgo-mery and community volunteers worktirelessly to fluff, hang, clean andstore the bows and greenery with thesupport of the City of Montgomery.

We always have family and friendsover for New Year’s Day.
This year I’m serving beef tender-loin. I know, I know, it’s expensive forsure, but it’s an elegant and easy entreefor a party. And when I think about it, itdoesn’t cost any more than if I wouldserve two other kinds of meat, as Isometimes do. Plus I can get it ready toroast ahead of time. And there’s nowrong way to serve it: warm from theoven, room temperature or even chilled,sliced on a bed of greens.
Like many of you, I can’t believe 2016 is justdays away. As I’ve said before, I appreciatecoming into your lives each week through thiscolumn. It’s a special and unique way to keepin touch.
There aren’t many columns like this onenow-a-days where reader involvement is notonly welcomed but an important part of shar-ing. So continue to do that as we begin anotheryear of exploring the wonderful world of foodtogether.
And it doesn’t matter what level of cooking
you’ve achieved or care to do. Today’scolumn is a great example: from gour-met beef tenderloin with a homemadeFrench herb blend to refrigerated bis-cuits gussied up with butter and cheese!
Readers want to knowRib and loin pork chops - what’s the
diff?Rib: have a bone running along one
side and a layer of fat on the outside.Tender with a mild flavor.
Loin: cut toward the center of the loin theywill have a T-shaped bone that has loin on oneside and tenderloin on the other. Very leanwith mild flavor.
Cook quickly: Brown on both sides overfairly high heat, then cover, finish cookingover very low heat.

Foolproof beef tenderloin with herbs
Leftovers make great beef sliders. I love to use the dried herbs Ihave from my herb garden.
Bring the meat out at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. It willroast more evenly.
Preheat oven to 400.
1 tenderloin, 2-1/2 to 3 pounds trimmedOlive oilFreshly ground black pepper and salt1 generous tablespoon garlic, mincedRub roast with olive oil, sprinkle & pat garlic all over and then
sprinkle black pepper and salt all around.Mix together:1/2 cup parsley, chopped1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence OR1 teaspoon dried tarragon1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, minced1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Roll beef in herb mixture to coat all over. Roast until thermom-eter registers 130-145 for medium rare to medium. This will takeabout 30-40 minutes or so for medium rare. You can always leave it inlonger if you like.
Remove from oven, tent and let stand 10 minutes or so to redis-tribute juices. Temperature will rise a bit, too.
Rita’s herbes de Provence
Blend together and store in cool, dry place away from light:
1/4 cup dried thyme leaves2 tablespoons dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon oregano1 tablespoon dried rosemary, minced1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, not powdered savory2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers1 teaspoon fennel seeds1 dried bay leaf, crumbled
Easy Parmesan biscuits
A friend of mine takes refrigerated biscuits to a higher level bydipping in butter and cheese.
1 tube buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)Melted butterParmesan cheese, about 1 cup
Preheat oven to 400. Dip both sides of biscuits into butter, theninto cheese. Place 1 inch apart on sprayed baking pan. Bake until gold-en, about 8-10 minutes

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Tenderloin is a tasty - albeit expensive - New Year’s dinner that you can make ahead.

A publication of
In a recent op-ed, “When dowe apply the title ‘terrorist?’”Bruce Healey implies that weare quick to call it “terror-ism” when the act is perpe-trated by a Muslim, but nototherwise. I think it’s just thereverse. Yes, the media mayuse the word “terrorism,” butthey avoid exploring the un-derlying ideology when itmight relate to radical Islam.
This is exactly what hap-pened after the recent massshooting in San Bernardino.The attack prompted the NewYork Times to publish theirfirst front-page editorial inalmost 100 years. Did theywant to explore a possibleconnection to an ideology –since the perpetrators al-ready had been identified?
No, the NYTgot that ideaout of the wayin the firstparagraph,and then usedthe rest of thepiece to beatthe drum forgun control.
Democratsin the U.S.Senate also
used the occasion to bring twogun-control measures to avote. Other explanations werecontrived. Juan Cole, a histo-ry professor who blogs on theMiddle East, said of the at-tack, “It seems clear that thiswas workplace violencelinked to some sort of griev-ance.” So, perhaps Farook
was bullied at work, and thatexplains why he and his wifekilled all his co-workers attheir Christmas party?
Mr. Healey also mentionedthe attacks in Charleston,South Carolina, in June, andon a Planned Parenthood clin-ic in Colorado two weeks ago.He points out that “both at-tacks were of extremist ideol-ogies that we must revile andrepudiate.” Maybe so, butthat’s not to say that any ide-ology taken to an extremeresults in violence or hatred –it depends on which partic-ular ideology is playing out.
As for the shooting in Colo-rado Springs, I’m not surewhat motivates a man toshoot-up a Planned Parent-hood clinic, but it certainly
wasn’t Christian faith or ide-ology.
In Charleston in June, theshooter killed nine peopleincluding the senior pastor.Did we see any ideology takento an extreme in that inci-dent? Yes, we did. The vic-tims’ families displayed theirChristian ideology to an ex-treme when they each for-gave the shooter at his bailhearing.
Think of how hard it wouldbe to forgive in that setting.This was not cultural, or so-ciological or political. It wasabout modeling the actions ofa very tolerant man who wasable to say, “Forgive them, forthey know not what they do,”as he was being put to deathin a very painful and humiliat-
ing way. This forgiveness ofthe families in Charlestoninspired South Carolina’sgovernor to remove the Con-federate flag from the statecapitol. This was the power offorgiveness, leading to recon-ciliation. Those nine familiesought to be candidates for theNobel Peace Prize.
So, ideologies are not allcreated equal, and it’s worthconsidering the differences.Different ideologies can leadto extremely different out-comes.

Is it ‘terrorism’ or different ideologies?

Dec. 23 questionLooking to 2016, if you can grant one wish for
your community, what would it be?
No responses.
Dec. 16 questionChristmas is said to be a season of magic. De-
scribe a moment of Christmas or holiday magicin your life.
“My car broke down on Christmas Eve;that’s my miracle.
“It was 1994. At the time, I was an outsidesalesman for a local industrial supply dis-tributor. We were open until 3 p.m. Christ-mas Eve. Everyone was in the office for theChristmas luncheon, but no one wanted tobe there, especially me. I was going to gostraight from the office in Winton Place tomy home in Anderson, loading up the Tau-rus wagon with Christmas gifts, the wife,and two daughters, ages 4 and 1. We wouldfirst be going to my sister’s house for myfamily’s Christmas celebration, and thenleaving for Dayton, to spend the night andChristmas day at my wife’s parents’ homefor celebration Np. 2.
“At 2:45 p.m., a walk-in ‘will call’ custom-er shows up: there’s always someone whohas a holiday emergency. Not my concernthough, I’m getting out of there. I got a lottraveling to do in the next eight hours. As Ipull out on to Winton Road my car stops!The engine is running, but I can’t go for-ward or back. Upon inspection, the rightfront wheel is 90 degrees to the right whilethe left wheel is pointed straight; a problem.Everyone from the office, including the ‘willcall’ customer comes out to help. I kick theright wheel into alignment and we push thecar back into the parking lot. We’re allstanding there looking at the broken car. Afellow salesman who also lives in Anderson,volunteers to drive me home, but my mindis racing: ‘What am I going to do? There’s no
time to fix this situation!”I thank Joe for his offer, but tell him that
getting home is the least of my worries. Atthat, the ‘walk-in’ customer steps up andsays, ‘I’m the service manager at WoodySander Ford. I can get a tow-truck to getyour car, and I’ll set you up with a loanercar.’ You cannot imagine my joy and dis-belief.
“Joe gave me a ride to Woody SanderFord (1-1/2 miles). The service manager gotme outfitted into a small station wagon, andI was on my way home to load up the carwith family and gifts.
“I thanked God for the service managerbeing at the exact right place at the exactright time. Later, as we were traveling, thewhole picture of the miracle came into fo-cus. If my car’s tie rod had not broken infront of the office, but instead on the high-way at 60 mph...The vision of Christmaspresents strewnvacross the highway, a man-gled car, and untold carnage on my youngfamily came into view in my mind’s eye.Our 1-year-old daughter at the time, has justgraduated from UC. It might never havebeen.
“Someone was looking out for me and myfamily on that Christmas Eve. Thank you,Lord!
“Kudos to Woody Sander Ford and theservice manager!”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION(Since no one really had time to answer lastweek’s question, we are asking it again):Looking to 2016, if you can grant one wish foryour community, what would it be?
Every week we ask readers a question they can reply tovia email. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.
The scariest part of grow-ing up is being forced to com-pete with your older siblingsand neighbors.
After that comes the com-petition with school mates andthe various sports you areencouraged to participate in.Take some time to think overthe terrible feelings you had.Some of us never outgrow thedread we endured. A few of uslearn from the experience andstart to become competitive.The majority give it a modesttrial and succeed to the extentthey are satisfied.
Throughout our lives alltypes of competition areforced upon us. There aregrades, social contacts, ob-taining a job, acquiring a mate,
promotions,sports forsome of us andthat is just afew of thedilemmas weface.
What I wantto encourageis for you totake charge ofyour future bybecoming
competitive. Without goinginto detail, it worked for me.You don’t have to start at thetop of any situation. You mere-ly have to stay “in the game”at your chosen level. Successusually comes very slowly.One thing you need to learn isthat you improve yourself by
correcting your mistakes.Your competition will learnfrom your successes. So, don’tbe afraid to make small mis-takes.
As you go through the edu-cation process there will bemany times a really goodteacher will lead you to betterperformances. Sadly, there aremany teachers who are moreinterested in themselves thanin you. Search out the goodones and try to show improve-ment to them. You will be notonly rewarded, but be on yourway to success.
As you follow these simplesuggestions, your self confi-dence will grow. With that,success will not be a distantand unsurmountable target,
but a closer and closer reality.Don’t be afraid of your firstand seemingly unimportantjob. Let your boss or managerknow that you want to makethem glad they hired you. Pro-motions or good recommenda-tions will follow. Your path tosuccess will not seem as hardas it once did.
The same holds true if youdecide to take up sports. Thetraining and discipline re-quired to become proficientare no different than becom-ing good in your chosen ca-reer. The main difference isthe physical effort you have toput out and the skills you haveto master. I was known as theworst athlete in my gradeschool. Many years later the
gym teacher learned that I hadan athletic scholarship in col-lege. He was amazed. It tookmany extra hours of devotedpractice and excessive pa-tience, but it was worth it.Needless to say, the self confi-dence was of great value in mybusiness career. It is some-thing that you gain from hav-ing earned respect for thediligence you showed in train-ing.
Most of all, you will alwaysface competition of some sortin life. Pay attention to thatwhich matters. Ignore thepetty issues. Just choose wise-ly and life will get more enjoy-able as you age.

Competition makes life’s journey more interesting
EdwardLevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Christmas as a kid was somythical as the countdown start-ed Dec. 1 and every day after thatbecame the build up to the bignight, Christmas Eve. In thosedays, you believed that anything
was possible.The famous
letter by FrancisChurch, “Yes,Virginia, There isa Santa Claus,”speaks to this:
“Yes, Virginia,there is a SantaClaus. He existsas certainly aslove and generos-ity and devotionexist, and you
know that they abound and giveto your life its highest beauty andjoy. Alas! how dreary would bethe world if there were no SantaClaus! It would be as dreary as ifthere were no Virginias. Therewould be no childlike faith then,no poetry, no romance to maketolerable this existence. Weshould have no enjoyment, ex-cept in sense and sight. The eter-nal light with which childhoodfills the world would be extin-guished. ”
The so-called Christmas spiritgives us the best chance to getthe new Scrooge back. Actuallywhen people speak of the Christ-mas Spirit I think of EbenezerScrooge in Charles Dicken’s 1843“Christmas Carol.” Scrooge’srevitalized passion for living iswhat most people relate to theChristmas spirit.
The question I find myselfwondering when I need to re-
kindle the flame or as an oldfarm kid would say it: puttingmore wood on that “campfire ofthe heart.” What am I doing whenI get the most satisfaction in life?Whether it’s visiting old friendsor stopping in a nursing home tolisten to old time stories…usuallysome type of sharing is whatblazes the inner fire with a pas-sion of giving/receiving in living.
For me, sometimes it’s justenjoying simple things as bakingbread to share with neighbors ora walk outside realizing or mar-veling at of nature’s creations.
The kid in me remembers thethought of Santa coming downthe chimney, or the Easter Bunnyhiding eggs; the tooth fairy leav-ing quarters under my pillow; thestork dropping off a baby at thehouse, or the leprechaun’s gold asI look through the window glassto find the end of the rainbow.
So what has changed? As a kid,we had developed an attitude offinding simple things to be excit-ed about. As adults we needsomething to look forward to-…something to dream about…something to celebrate daily.
Look at what’s positive in yourlife. Don’t worry about things youhave no control over. Not easy assome of us face unbelievable lifechallenges, but remember it’s atti-tude…positive outlook that can-…will make everything…way be-yond Christmas, believable again.

Many people under-stand those who use theirpersonal vehicle to deliv-er pizzas need to buyspecial business insur-
ance toprotectthemshould theyget into anaccidentwhile onthe job.’
But,driversmay notrealize thatrequire-
ment applies to a lot ofothers as well.
Don Hunt, of MountOrab, works for a lumbercompany that sends himto various job sites to doinspections. He uses hisown vehicle to get to thesites. Earlier this year heran off the road andwrecked his truck whilegoing to one of his in-spections.
Hunt’s wife Dee says,“He either hit a slickpatch or hydroplaned orsomething on I-275 and hebounced from wall to walland landed right in thecenter of I-275.”
Hunt filed a claim forthis one-vehicle accident,but his insurance compa-ny wouldn’t pay. It saidthe loss was not coveredbecause it involved, “Im-permissible business,commercial or employ-ment use.” A close look atthe policy says his vehiclecannot be used during thecourse of any business.
Hunt says he has touse his own vehicle be-cause his company won’tprovide one. Dee saysthis came as quite a sur-prise to them becausethere were no companysigns on the side of histruck indicating it wasbeing used as a commer-cial vehicle.
While she had theinsurance adjuster on thephone she says she decid-ed to ask about her ownsituation. Dee says sheasked, “If I was to
leave my Milford of-fice and go to an office inEastgate would I be cov-ered from office to of-fice? He said, ‘No.’”
Hunt’s insurance com-pany issued a statementto the Ohio Departmentof Insurance saying theclaim was denied forthree reasons: becausethe vehicle was usuallyused to visit three jobsites per day, because hetransported tools in histruck, and because hisemployer provided him agas card to use for fillingup the truck.
Bottom line, if youever use your vehicle –even if its just to go fromone office to another –you should talk with yourinsurance agent to see ifyou too need to add thatspecial business rider toyour policy.

Members of the General Assem-
bly clearly voiced their support for
a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the
2015 session last week that mirrors
previously failed legislation in 2014.
Denouncing the argument that a
smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking
in public places would kill business,
Brent Cooper, a business owner
from northern Kentucky, said not
only are businesses prospering
across the Ohio River in Cincinnati
with a smoke-free law, but that the
pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down
since the country put a ban on
smoking in the workplace 10 years
ago.Many legislators conferred that
public smoking was indefensible in
Kentucky given the state’s bad
health ratings compared to other
states throughout the U.S.
According to testimony from
Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin
Lakes Regional Medical Center,
second-hand smoke is just as dan-
gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the
