School is out for the summer,and that means many childrenwont have access to nutritiousmeals until classes resume inthe fall.
Princeton makes sure its stu-dents have food for a portion ofthe summer break, through aprogram called Seamless Sum-mer.
The program, which beganJune 8 and ends July 2, providesbreakfast and lunch at the Heri-tage Hill Elementary cafeteria.
We have concerns thatmany of our students may nothave three meals a day that arenutritious, interim Superinten-dent Ed Theroux said.
Food must be consumed onsite, Linda Smith, of Princetonsfood service department, said.
Seamless Summer is a con-tinuation of the National SchoolLunch Program, in which mealsare provided to children underage 18 who qualify under familyincome criteria.
Free meals are served tochildren whose family incomeis at or below 130 percent of thepoverty level, which was de-fined in 2014 as income at or be-low $30,615 for a family of four.
Children whose family in-come is $43,568 for a family offour are entitled to reducedlunch prices.
Smith said Princetons sum-mer program is at Heritage Hillbecause 88 percent of that stu-dent body qualifies for the na-tional program. Among the en-tire Princeton enrollment ofabout 5,700 in 2014-2015, 65 per-
cent qualified for the lunch pro-gram.
With an almost 65 percentfree and reduced rate, we arevery concerned for our stu-dents, siblings and families thatare living at or below povertyrates, Theroux said.
Among students in the Wyo-ming City School District,where enrollment was about1,900 during the 2014-2015school year, 7 percent of stu-dents are eligible. That districtdoes not have a summer pro-gram for its students.
Since we outsource our foodservice program through Mil-ford City Schools, we are not re-quired to provide food servicesover the summer to studentswho are food insecure, publicrelations director Susanna Maxsaid.
Schools arent the only placekids can turn for free lunches.To help fill the nutritional gapwhich free and reduced-costlunches help alleviate duringthe school year, the Public Li-brary of Cincinnati and Hamil-ton County is partners with Cin-cinnati Public Schools and Win-dow Arts Enrichment and alsoprovides free summer lunchesto children ages 18 and underMonday through Friday,through Aug. 7. Due to the July 4holiday, lunch will not be servedFriday, July 3.
Windows Art Enrichment is anonprofit group that has beeninvolved with the lunch sum-mer lunch program for morethan five years because work-ers regularly saw hungry kidsat programs and projects theywere presenting. In addition to
the library lunches, WAE alsoprovides meals through com-munity centers and churches inthe Greater Cincinnati area,such as the St. Mark MissionaryBaptist Church in MountHealthy.
For more information aboutWindow Arts Enrichment, andlunch locations, visit windo-wartsenrichment.org.
In 2014, more than 18,704meals were served at the li-brary locations, an increase of
36 percent from the 13,741meals served in 2013. The Col-lege Hill Branch saw the big-gest lunch crowds, averaging 55participants per day and serv-ing 3,385 meals.
Programs keepchildren fed forat least part ofsummer

The 4-2 adoption of a two-year spending plan by theHouse Bill 64 ConferenceCommittee in the early morn-ing hours of June 25 has leftschool funding unresolved andPrinceton officials frustrated.
The conference report onthe $71.3 billion state packagewill go to the House and Sen-ate, and if approved, will moveon to Gov. Kasich to sign. Inthis plan, the state finishesphasing out money that somedistricts have received foryears as a reimbursement forthe discontinued tangible per-sonal property tax, or TPP.
I am very disappointedthat the can was kicked downthe road instead of instituting
a permanent so-lution that bene-fits all schools,especially theheavily reliantTPP school dis-tricts like thePrinceton CitySchool Dis-trict, InterimSuperintendent
Ed Theroux said of the tangi-ble personal property tax elim-ination, which has cost the dis-trict millions of dollars. Thenew budget threatens to deci-mate the Princeton City SchoolDistrict starting in year threewhen the remaining TPP reim-bursement will be phased out.
When services, program-ming, education, and staffingare changed due to Princetonlosing almost one quarter of its
budget, the students, parents,families, community, and stafflose, Theroux said. Prince-ton prides itself on its excep-tional education that we pro-vide in our diverse learningcommunity that prepares ourchildren for outstanding andsuccessful futures. Our legis-lators need to understand andhear our Princeton story.
Theroux urged residents tocontinue to speak up about thedistricts financial crisis be-cause of the elimination of thetangible personal propertytax.
In recent months, educatorsand board members have ad-dressed state officials, ex-plaining the devastation facedby the school district that haslost millions, and will continueto lose millions, after the TPP
tax was eliminated in favor of acommercial activities tax, orCAT. That tax, Theroux said, iscollecting about $1.6 billionthis year, though it isnt bene-fitting the school district.
Our recommendation is(for state officials) to take themoney from CAT and you willstill have more money thanyou need, he said. Thats oursuggestion to make everybodywhole.
Although the Senate andHouse have agreed to holdschool districts harmless fortwo years, thats a temporarypatch, Theroux said. Afterthat, the school district willcontinue to lose money eachyear, reaching an annual lossof $16.1 million.
To make up that loss,Princeton would have to pass
an 11-mill operating levy, andTheroux said no one wants todo that.
Its a heavy hit to the dis-trict, making up 24 percent ofPrincetons annual funding.
It will decimate Prince-ton, Theroux said. We havealready cut over $8 million, re-duced 150 positions, out-sourced transportation, hadsalary freezes, and reducedadditional expenses such as in-creasing class sizes and reduc-ing benefit costs to the staff.
Residents are encouragedto call or email state officials,and Princeton has posted asuggested script, along withphone numbers and email ad-dresses on the school districtswebsite,www.princetonschools.net.

Solar panels will be al-lowed homes in Wyo-mings historic district, aslong as theyre not too vis-ible.
Thats one of severalchanges to the citys ordi-nance that regulates solarpanels, an issue that Plan-ning Commission re-viewed for severalmonths, and sought inputfrom Wyoming residents.
In addition to two pub-lic hearings, a public opi-nion survey and inputfrom the ArchitecturalReview Board, Environ-mental Stewardship Com-mission and the HistoricPreservation Commissionwere considered beforeCity Council unanimouslyapproved the emergencyordinance on June 15.Adopting an ordinance asan emergency allows it tobecome effective imme-diately.
The September 2014 or-dinance proposed, anamendment to the plan-ning and zoning code,would allow photovoltaicsolar panels and arrays tobe installed on the fronts,sides and rear of homesexcept:
Those in the historicdistrict, or consideredhistorically significantwhen the arrays are visi-ble to the public; and
On walls of homeswhen the walls are visibleto the public.
Other restrictions in-
clude: They must not extend
more than six inchesabove the plane of the roofor above the ridge line;
Frames must be blackanodized or powder coat-ed aluminum or a similarcolor that blends with thecolor of the roof; and
The glass must bemanufactured or treatedin a way that minimizesglare.
The most significantchange is probably that,under limited circum-stances, solar panels maybe placed on forward fac-ing roof planes of homesthat are located in the Vil-lage Historic District,Community DevelopmentDirector Terry Vander-man said. The panelsmust be only minimallyvisible from the publicway in front of the homeand the applications mustbe reviewed and ap-proved by the HistoricPreservation Commis-sion.
Commission memberswill be guided by stan-dards of the National ParkService.
The main differencebetween the new legisla-tion and the prior is thatresidents may now installsolar panels on the for-ward facing roof planes oftheir homes, Vandermansaid This will provide anopportunity for signifi-cantly more residents toenjoy the energy savingsof this environmentallyfriendly technology.

training, and Colerainfire instructors recent-ly presented the oppor-tunity in its FirefighterII class to help onegroup of students worktogether on multiplepatient rescues usingapproved auto extrica-tion methods.
The students gotthem all out within 28minutes of their arriv-al on scene, makingthe total simulated pa-tient care well withinthe 60 minute GoldenHour for a patient. Inemergency medicine,this refers to a time pe-riod lasting for onehour from the arrival ofthe firefighters on thescene to the patientsarrival at an appropri-ate medical facilitygeared for their traumainjuries following atraumatic injury.
This was part of acontinuing trainingprogram by the Cole-rain fire departmentdesigned to train fire-fighters to a higher lev-el of certification whileteaching standard op-erating procedures andinstilling leadershipand teamwork usingstate and nationalguidelines.
Capt. Chris Hopkins,training supervisor forthe department, saysthe department is char-tered by the state, has a
Two vehicles crash,leaving one on its roofand the other with ex-tensive front-end dam-age. Firefighters haveto work together to getmultiple patients fromthe vehicles and starttreatment as quickly aspossible.
Peeling back carpanels and doors whileprotecting the injuredtrapped inside, stabiliz-ing the patients as theextrication happensand removing the pa-tients once a pathway tothem is cleared are notsimple tasks. They takeskill, practice and
training tower andmore than 60 certifiedinstructors and offersfire training. The de-partment offered aFirefighter I class inthe fall, that allowedabout two dozen peopleto attend free thanks tostate grant money.
In at least one case,that state grant moneywas intended as an in-centive. AJ Lawson, 23,attended the Firefight-er I class thanks to thegrant. His dad, MountHealthy Fire ChiefSteve Lawson, said hethinks the grant was thepush his son needed totake the class and pur-sue firefighting as a ca-reer.
In early February,the Colerain depart-ment started a Fire-fighter II Class that,when successfullycompleted in April, willhave 12 firefighterscertified to the OhioFire Training Standardfor career firefighters.Lawson is a member ofthat class, as well.
The 12 students rep-resent seven differentfire departments fromthroughout the GreaterCincinnati area. Thethree women and ninemen are sponsored bytheir individual depart-ments including: Cin-cinnati, Colerain Town-ship, Elmwood Place,
Fairfield Township,Mount Healthy, SaintClair Township, Wil-liamsburg Townshipand Wyoming.
Wyoming Fire ChiefSteve Owens said helikes to send personnelto the Colerain coursesbecause the classschedules are easy towork with, and thecourses are taught byand for fire profession-als who are working inthe field.
I like the idea thatthey have top-notch in-structors who are ac-tive fire service per-sonnel, he said. Theyhave a burn building,training grounds, andthey dont have to scouttraining locations orlose time traveling tothem.
Hopkins says theclasses are scheduledfor four hours on Mon-day and Wednesdayevenings as well as ev-ery Saturday for eighthours, allowing stu-dents to work, continuecollege courses or at-tend to family needs.The class is scheduledto take their final prac-tical and written examson April 15.
If state grant moneyis available again thisyear, the departmentwill offer the Firefight-er I class again this fallat no cost.

JULY 1, 2015 TRI-COUNTY PRESS 5ANEWS
The garden events inmy herb garden havebeen going on for a cou-ple of weeks now, and oneof the drinks I alwaysserve is my spa waterwith peppermint, lemonand stevia, the sugarsubstitute herb. Ive had
so manyrequests toshare therecipe soIve fine-tuned it tomake iteasy foryou tomake athome.
Spawater is
hydrating, not to mentiondelicious. Both the pep-permint and the lemonprovide a good amount ofvitamin C, excellent forimmune systems, amongother things. The steviasweetens the drink butyou can use any sweet-ener you like or none atall. I like to serve this tothe kids, as well. Theylove the taste and I knowtheyre getting hydrated,as well.
Be adventurous; tryadding mint to savorydishes, along with using itto sweeten and flavordrinks.
Anybody can growmint, and since this pe-rennial herb is invasive,plant it in a pot.
Tips from Ritaskitchen: Keepingkids hydrated.
So important especial-ly during this hot weatheror when theyre in sports,since a childs body takeslonger to adjust to heat
and humidity. Spa wateris refreshing and health-ful for them.
1. Kids produce morebody heat but dont sweatas much as adults so inhot weather they are atincreased risk for de-hydration.
2. In the body, water
works as a shock absorb-er protecting joints.
3. Cold water is ab-sorbed best and kids willdrink more if its cold somake sure the spa waterhas ice or has been refrig-erated.

Fresh garden herbs means spa water, garlic breadRitas spa water
The only two things you really need are fresh mint andfresh lemons. The limes are optional but very nice. If you dontuse limes, use about 4 lemons. The rest of ingredients areoptional. (You know how I like to gild the lily.). If all youhave is spearmint, use that. Spearmint is a bit sweeter in tasteand milder in flavor.
1 cup loosely packed fresh peppermint leaves2 lemons, thinly sliced2 limes, thinly sliced1 generous quart or so of water12 to 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries and/or edible
flowers*Sliced fruit, mint leaves, and/or edible flowers (optional)
Sweetener
Place mint leaves in a 2-quart pitcher, gently bruising theleaves with a wooden spoon to release volatile oils. Add lemonand lime slices. Bruise a bit to release flavor. Add water; stir. Letstand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the berriesand/or edible flowers. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for upto 6 hours.
To serve, strain Spa Water into a pitcher; discard fruit. Ifdesired, add additional fresh fruit, mint leaves, and/or edibleflowers to the pitcher. Serve over ice if desired. Pass sweetener.
*Check out my website Abouteating.com, for a list ofedible flowers, or tune into Ron Wilsons radio show at 7 a.m.on Saturday, July 4, on 55WKRC. Ill be sharing informationabout them.
FYI, make sure the flowers are not only edible, but with-out insecticides, etc. Dont use floral shop flowers.
Garlic bread butter
This is so good alongside a plate of spaghetti & meatballsor grilled steak.
1 stick butter, softened2-4 cloves garlic, mincedMinced rosemary to taste, fresh or dried - start with 1/2
teaspoonSqueeze or two of lemon juice (optional but good)Baked garlic bread
Slice open lengthwise a loaf of Italian bread withoutcutting all the way through. Open it like a book, and spreadgarlic butter on both sides, then sprinkle on some Parmesancheese. Close the loaf, and slice into horizontal slices, but dontcut into the closed spine. Wrap in foil (this can be done a dayahead and kept in the frig). Bake in preheated 375 degreeoven about 15 minutes or until hot. Then open the loaf andrun it under the broiler, cheese side up until golden.
Freeze it! Make several batches, roll into logs, wrap andfreeze.

June 24 questionIf you could show visitors to
Cincinnati for the All Star Gameone location that best representsthe area, what would it be andwhy?
Thats a really tough call.Im not native to the area, but Itell everyone they need to seeFindlay Market, on a Saturdayespecially, and since they wouldbe at the All-Star Game, be cer-tain to walk around The Banksand Smale Park. Like Leipzig,Moscow, Paris, Mexico City andthe Hampshire region of Eng-land, there are more than a fewbeautiful churches and cathe-drals, worthy of photos in Cin-cinnati.
Now that the Stanley Cup issafely in a true Hockey Club forthis year, (Cmon Blue Jacketsor Pens) Im not going to havemuch to watch until Septem-ber.

FILE PHOTO.
Findlay Market in Over-The-Rhine has been in operation since 1855. Today,the market is home to vendors selling not only produce, but meat, cheese,purses, jewelry, honey and many more items. To experience Findlay Marketis to experience a piece of Cincinnati history.
While sitting on a parkbench overlooking the CSXrailroad and historic Glendaledepot, a pastoral sense ofpeacefulness is interruptedby the sudden ringing ofbells, flashing lights, and theclatter of gates triggered by asouthbound train approach-ing the Sharon Road gradecrossing.
Looking northward thetrains bright headlight andalternating ditch lightsemerge from a curve fol-lowed by the familiar twolong, a short and another longwarning blasts from the en-gines horn.
For a few moments thereis an unanticipated pause oflife's normal activities as theCSX train's two SD70Macengines lead at least 100 wellcars of double stacked con-tainers past the crossing anddepot. The colorful contain-ers with their companysname boldly printed on theirsides are loaded with every-thing from dog food to furni-ture!
The engineer sounds thewarning whistles for Albionand Oak Street crossings asthe double stacked cars con-tinue to roll by the depot.After the last container glidespast, the vehicles waiting onSharon Road surge forwardand life returns to normaluntil the sounds of the nexttrain invade the evenings
serenity. A couple
of years agoGlendale,was featuredin Trainsmagazine asone of Amer-icas topspots towatch trains.Rail fans
were encouraged to come tothe quaint village where 35 to50 trains ply the rails, daily.During the course of a twentyfour hour period fans can seeevery type of freight train,imaginable, plus the Cardinal,an Amtrak passenger trainthat slips through the villagein the wee hours of the morn-ing.
One of the most interestingtrains to watch is the NorfolkSoutherns Triple Crown, atrain composed of 75 to 150road railer trailers that trans-fer from road to rail in vari-ous midwest and southernlocations. The Triple CrownCo. assures its customers thatcargo is better protectedsince the absence of knucklecouplers prevents the trailersfrom the lurching and bang-ing that occurs on all conven-tional trains.
Just recently, watchershave seen north and southbound ethanol tanker trainsmoving through the village.As a sign of the countrys
changing energy needs, theyare replacing the long slowmoving coal trains rarelyseen today. The tank cars arebook-ended by sand filledgondolas that serve as safetybuffers at the end of the trainand next to the engines. It isobvious that the loaded etha-nol trains always observetightly restricted speed limi-tations.
For those fans who like toobserve local trains, there isalways the Springdale Jobwhich operates daily betweenQueensgate yard and severalsmall sidings just north ofTri-County Shopping Center.This train often hauls refrig-eration boxcars loaded withorange juice and auto rackstransporting various newvehicles.
When the Panama Canalexpansion project is complet-ed in 2016, rail traffic predic-tions indicate that the num-ber of trains travelingthrough Glendale will in-crease significantly to sev-enty-five or eighty per day.Residents will adjust, rail-road profits will increase, andthe village depot will becomean even more attractivehaven for rail fans, every-where.

Over the years familiesgrow and change but, unfortu-nately, houses dont adapt withthem, and issues may arisethat you didnt foresee whenfirst buying the house.
When this happens the nextlogical question becomes,should you remodel yourhome, or move to a new homethat better fits your needs? AtWhole Home Modifications,this is something we talk aboutwith our clients constantly, andwe have a few tips and factorsfor you to consider.
The first question youshould ask yourself is how longdo you plan to be in your cur-rent home? Depending on youranswer, the changes you maketo your home could be large or
small. If youdont plan to bein your homelong-term, youmight not wantto make dras-tic changes. If,on the otherhand, you planto stay for life,you shouldconsider whatlife changes
you might experience in thefuture.
Another important consider-ation is, what makes you wantto stay in your home? Do youhave a great relationship withthe neighbors? Is the kidsschool a block away? Is yourlife centered around your com-
munity? Those are things thatyou cant take with you whenbuying a new house. If youcant give up the location ofyour current home, remod-eling is probably the best op-tion.
Perhaps the most importantstep in deciding to move ormodify is to evaluate currentand future needs of your fam-ily. A family with toddlers hasdramatically different needsfrom a family with collegestudents, or with live-in grand-parents. At Whole Home Mod-ifications, we often recom-mend adding an in-law suite onthe first floor if you plan tostay in your home long-term. Itcould be used as a study or recroom until you need it.
You should also think abouthow youre using the space youhave. If youre not actuallyusing your dining room, whynot use it as a playroom whilethe kids are little, reclaim itfor a few years, then use it toset up a home office? Maximiz-ing your space is an easy wayto make your home work bet-ter for your family.
Last, but certainly not least,consider the financials.Chances are youll pay morefor a new home than you didfor your current home. Youalso have to add the out-of-pocket costs including movingexpenses, closing costs, brokercommissions, and any redec-orating or renovations youll doin the next few years (no house
is perfect!). You should alsolook at what you can afford todo in a remodel. Compare thetwo numbers and see whatmakes the most sense for yourfamily.
Deciding to move or modifyyour home is a big decision,but ensuring your home cangrow and change with you isimportant for the care andcomfort of your family todayand for years to come. Weencourage you to evaluateyour familys needs and findthe best solution for you andyour loved ones.

Two Wyoming legends wererecently immortalized fortheir dedication to the citysyoung athletes. Public athleticfields were named after May-or Barry Porter and the lateGene Pitman, in honor of theirvolunteer contributions.
On June 15, city councilpassed a resolution naming theturf field at the Wyoming Rec-reation Center after Porter.The Mayor has spent severalyears coaching lacrosse on thefield and was instrumental inestablishing a turf field foryoung Wyoming athletes. Theturf field is now known as Bar-
ry Porter Field. The baseball
and softballfield wasnamed afterGene Pitman,who died inFebruary afterdedicatingmost of his 80years to Wyo-
mings young athletes. He wasa coach, mentor, and advocatefor every level of Wyomingathletics. For Pitmans family,the ballpark dedication was afitting Fathers Day tribute tothe Wyoming legend.
While celebrating FathersDay without our dad for thefirst time in our lives was verydifficult, seeing many of thepeople who he had impactedcome out to honor him was tru-ly special, said Mike Pitman.It is a day our family will notforget.
Around 100 friends, ath-letes, family members, and fel-low coaches gathered to cele-brate the field dedications.Many in attendance had di-rectly benefited from the men-torship of Porter and Pitman.Porter delivered the openingremarks. Genes son Brianspoke, as did Randy Church(Wyoming class of 1990) andHoward Kruger.
The ceremony includedthree first pitches a softball,a baseball, and a soft t-ballbaseball. Pitman had a hand ineach of those sports. Morethan just a coach, Pitman wasknown throughout the Wyo-ming community as a depen-dable advocate for
Gene Pitman not only em-bodied the spirit of sportsman-ship, he redefined its mean-ing, said Mike Pitman. Whilewinning was nice to do and hewon a lot it wasnt important,and it wasnt why he did whathe did. Teamwork, fellowshipand camaraderie were moreimportant.
Porter and Pitman havecoached multiple generationsof Wyoming athletes. The vir-tues they instilled are now car-ried on by those they coached,many of whom are now coach-ing children and teams of theirown.
From now on, these coachesand the coaches that come af-ter them will point to theplaque and explain to theirplayers why they are playingon Barry Porter Field or GenePitman Field. They will telltheir teams about the bighearts of these men who caredabout teaching children the ba-sics of spring sports, but alsoabout teaching lessons thattranscend athletics.
The dedication of the fieldsis a permanent reminder of thevalues shared by Porter andPitman, as well as a tangibletestament to their lasting im-pact on the Wyoming commu-nity.
Said Pitman: Our dad spentcountless hours coaching atthe field at Hilltop, and it wasat this field most of his playersforged lasting memories andwere taught life lessons, les-sons that most have passed onto their children and, in manycases, the children they nowcoach.

ST. BERNARD The boys vol-leyball season was anything buteasy for Roger Bacon HighSchool. In spite of injuries and aformidable schedule, the Spar-tans played their best volleyballin the season finale.
Roger Bacon proved it be-longs in the statewide conversa-tion when the Spartans battledbut lost a five-set thriller toeventual Division II state run-ner-up, St. Francis DeSales, in astate semifinal match May 30 atCapital University.
Our focus (the whole sea-son) was just continuous im-provement, Roger Baconcoach Adam Goller said. Wetook a marathon approach andwe were lucky enough to playour best in our last game.
Roger Bacon lost to DeSales25-16, 25-21, 28-30, 17-25, 15-12.The Spartans actually openedthe season with a 25-17, 25-15loss to St. Francis DeSales.
Goller said, Wed been tostate before so it wasnt any-thing new, but it was differentwith this team. I really feel likethis team was up there lookingfor a challenge.
Challenge is an understate-ment. With its season on theline, down two games to none,the Spartans found enough mo-mentum to force a decidingfifth game. Even though itdidnt go their way, the Spartanshad a blast.
That (semifinal) is the mostfun match weve played all sea-son. It was so competitive andthere was so much effort, somuch energy, Goller said. Itsby far the most fun weve had allseason, and were lucky enoughto say we played our best in ourlast match.
Goller added that for a com-petitive program its all abouthow you finish. The season-ending loss was a tough one toswallow.
It was definitely difficult,but one hour doesnt make a sea-son, said Goller. We talked
about our progression (after theloss) from the beginning to theend, and when we look back andevaluate the entire season wedont look at just the last hour.
For a team that started theseason 3-7, the Spartans went12-4 down the stretch. The turn-around can be largely attribut-ed to Roger Bacons six seniorleaders (Alex Brenner, BenHolt, Bobby Wilking, RobbieHeywood, Jack Hausfeld andTony Weickert).
Holt (Mount St. Joseph) andBrenner (Wittenberg) will con-tinue their volleyball careers incollege. Holt and Wilking were
both named second-team All-State, first-team All-South Re-gion and first-team All-GCL.Heywood was first-team All-GCL, and Hausfeld was second-team All-GCL, Goller said.
Six strong seniors will behard to replace, but Goller andhis staff are optimistic aboutthe future.
We still expect to continueto improve and be competitive.
According to the teams Twit-ter account @RBBVB postedJune 25, Roger Bacon boys vol-leyball program has a new headcoach, Annie Karle (Kathman).

Universal Health CareAction Network Ohio hon-ored Springdale residentJudith Warren, CEO ofHealth Care Access Now,as part of its annual event,Lend your Voice HealthCare for All, in Columbus.
Warren was one of sixhonorees chosen as aChampion of Health Carebecause they enhance theconsumer voice in de-manding a health care sys-tem that delivers quality,affordable health care forall Ohioans.
Building the consumervoice to make health carework for all Ohioans is ourcore mission, said CathyLevine, executive directorof UHCAN Ohio. The in-dividuals and organization
we honored have workedtirelessly in their commu-nities to give voice to thevoiceless.
Warren is founder andCEO of Health Care Ac-cess Now, a regional carecoordination HUB thatserves populations at riskfor poor health and accessto care. She was recog-nized for her work inSouthwest Ohio buildingpartnerships to forge ahealth care system thatconnects vulnerable peo-ple with all comprehensiveservices needed for quali-ty of life.
Judith has developedan effective model for pro-viding comprehensivecare coordination and sup-port to individuals who
lack the social, emotionalor financial resources toadvocate for their ownhealth and well-being,Levine said. She is dem-onstrating how Ohio canimprove the health of ourmost at-risk populations.
Her colleague atHCAN, LaVerne Wiley,Pathway Program Direc-tor, presented Warren withthe award saying, JudithWarren is a committed ad-vocate for the medicallyand socially underserved.Her passion for this workis infectious, and hasdrawn not only me but alsomany others into this ef-fort to support vulnerablepopulations lacking accessto medical care, behavior-al health services or essen-
tial supports needed for aquality of life.
Upon receiving heraward, Warren said, Itsbeen a pleasure to workwith UHCAN for morethan 10 years to make surethat the voice of consum-ers is not lost in the politi-cal discourse across Ohio.UHCAN is a leading advo-cacy organization in Ohio,and I am honored that theyselected me as we haveworked together on issuesof coverage and access tocare.

This is the time ofyear when people arelooking to buy a newhome and, with mortgagerates near record lows,home sales are expectedto be brisk. But beware,because of hacking intothe Internal RevenueService there could bedelays getting loan ap-proval.
The IRSs Get Tran-script application, thesection that was hacked,has been shut down tem-porary until more strin-gent safeguards are in-stalled. Thats the appli-cation used by mortgagelenders for verificationof income. About 23 mil-
lion tax-payersused theonline GetTranscriptapplicationthis pastfiling sea-son.
MarkMerkhofer,of Colerain
Township, says he raninto problems gettingloan approval for a househe wants to buy. Hewrites, My applicationis denied due to all thirdparty requests for IRStax transcripts beingrejected due to a rise inidentity theft and fraud.
Now Im $2,000 into buy-ing this home and Ivebeen living out of bag-swaiting to sign on thedotted line. The lenderinformed me of theirdifficulty in getting mytranscripts on May 22.
So, Merkhofer tried toget his tax transcript onhis own. He called theIRS and says, Afterthree hours of awful holdmusic and repetitiverecordings I finally hadsomeone on the horn.After another 45 minutesof verifying informationand more hold time I hadmy 2014 transcript in myemail. I thought I had thefinal piece to the puzzle
The lender rejectedthe borrower-providedtranscripts. Merkhoferwrites, So here I amnow, 90 days into thisprocess, losing sleep,stressing out, anxietypiling up, while still do-ing my best to maintaincomposure being that I'mliving in this house cur-rently and run the risk ofbeing booted next weekdue to this entire loanapplication being de-clined due to IRS inade-quacy of handling thelatest security breach.I'm stopped dead in mytracks with no solutions,no nothing.
So for now, those seek-
ing their tax transcriptscan apply and have themmailed directly to theirlender. Normally, itshould take 5 to 10 daysbut it may take longerdue to increased demandsince the online tran-script option is down.The second option forgetting a tax transcript isto go in person to an IRSwalk-in office. Appoint-ments are made on afirst-come, first servedbasis so, the IRS says, itsbest to arrive beforelunchtime.
In the meantime, theIRS says, it has taken anumber of steps to pro-tect taxpayers.
It has sent letters toall the some 200,000 tax-payers whose accountshad attempted unautho-rized access to let themknow someone may havehad access to their socialsecurity number andother personal informa-tion.
The IRS is also of-fering free credit mon-itoring to the some100,000 taxpayers whoseGet Transcript accountswere accessed in order toensure their informationis not being used illegal-ly.
