GREEN TWP. — A formertownship official is encourag-ing residents to consider votingagainst the safety services levythe township has on the Nov. 4ballot.

Steve Grote, who served asboth a fiscal officer and a trus-tee for the township, said thelevy wouldn’t be necessary ifthe board of trustees perma-nently end the Tax IncrementFinancing (TIF) program.

Green Township trusteesvoted in July to place a 2.95-mill, continuous safety ser-vices levy on the fall ballot. Is-sue 31, if approved, would gen-erate about $3.16 million annu-ally forpoliceand fire services.

It would cost the owner of ahome worth $100,000 an addi-tional $103 per year in taxes.

Grote said he contacted theHamilton County Auditor’s Of-fice and determined the town-ship would receive roughly $3million each year from previ-ously established township taxlevies if the trustees cancel theTIF program, therefore eras-ing the need for a new levy.

“The trustees would do thetaxpayers a great service by atleast looking at this,” he said.

Hamilton County AuditorDusty Rhodes said TIF fundsare derived from the propertytaxes paid on township parcelslocated within a specificallydesignated TIF district. In-steadof thosetaxfundsgoingtolevies collected by taxing agen-cies in thecountyand township,he said the money goes into aTIF fund that the township canuse for special projects andcapital improvements. The ex-ception is school district levies;school districts still receiveproperty taxes from parcels inthe TIF district.

If the township canceled itsTIF program, Rhodes saidproperty tax revenues from

TIF parcels would go back tofundingany leviesonthebooks.

He said canceling the TIF isthe township’s discretion anddoing sowould require amajor-ity vote by the board of trust-ees.

“I’ve never heard that pro-posed before,” Rhodes said.

Grote said the TIF essential-ly takes money from levies, in-cluding township levies, andputs it into a special fund.

“Weare robbingPeter topayPaul,” he said. “There’s been alot of waste and bad purchaseswith TIF funds, but that’s thenature of government to somedegree.”

He said the board can put anend to it by canceling the pro-gram, which would also elimi-nate the need for a new levy.

Adding new taxes in a sloweconomywillespeciallyburdenstruggling families and seniorcitizens, he said.

“Thepeoplewhocan’t afforditarethosewhoareaffectedthemost,” he said.

Green Township TrusteeChairman Tony Rosiello saidcanceling the TIF wouldn’t bebeneficial financially.

The township has been ableto increase its tax base by at-tracting new businesses, newmedical offices and a new hos-pital by usingTIFmoney to payfor infrastructure improve-ments, he said. The townshipalso usesTIF funds to purchaseequipment and vehicles for thepolice and fire departments, he

The Colerain Township Zoning Com-missiongot its first official lookat aplantobuildaKrogerMarketplaceatSpring-dale Road and Colerain Avenue and aChick-fil-A across from Northgate Mallat its meeting Tuesday night.

An informal concept review of theprojectwason theColerainZoningCom-mission agenda.

The concept plan submitted to thetownship shows a 135,000-square-footKroger Marketplace with a Kroger fuelcenteronthepropertywhere theoldMc-Donald’s Restaurant was located.

The property is home to a Fifth ThirdBank and a strip of retail stores acrossthe rear of the site. The bank and thebusinesses would be eliminated by thegrocery store. The preliminary planshows a bank with drive-through win-dows incorporated into theKrogerMar-ketplace.

The planwould also take a number ofhomesonYellowstoneDriveeastofFlat-top Drive and close a portion of Yellow-stone Drive behind the J.D. Byrider andthe Walgreen’s. Officials said Krogerhasbeen innegotiationswith theproper-ty owners and seemingly has come toterms on all of the necessary properties.

VandercarHoldingsInc. isacommer-cial real estate development companyprimarily focusedonprovidingdevelop-ment services to high credit retail, of-fice and industrial clients.

StevenDragon,anengineerwithVan-dercar, said in a letter of intent to thezoning department that his firm will

seek a zone change for the properties asa “PD-B”, business planned develop-ment.

Kroger officials did not have anycomment at press time.

The zoning commission also got afirst look at initial plans for aChick-fil-Aat 9470 Colerain Ave. on the same lot asChipotle.

The plan for the 4,592-square-footrestaurant across from Northgate Mallshows double drive-through windows.

Final development plans are not yetsubmitted for either of the projects.

The Kroger project would require azone change to “PD-B” and there will bepublic hearingsbefore anyplans or zonechanges could be approved or denied.

said.Without the TIF, Ro-

siello said the townshipwould have to use moneyfrom its general fund topay for road improve-ments and new vehicles,which would result inlarger tax levies for resi-dents.

“The TIF program al-lows us to divert a lot ofmoney thatwould typical-ly go to the county,” hesaid. “We’re able use thatmoney to purchase equip-ment and vehicles andmake road improvementslike we did along NorthBend Road to get Mercy

Health – West Hospital.Those are all very, verygood things.”

Trustee David Linnen-berg said TIF funds paidfor road improvementsthat helped the townshipattract TriHealth’s GoodSamaritanWestern Ridgedevelopment and TheChrist Hospital and Cin-cinnati Children’s Hospi-tal Medical Center outpa-tient facilities, whichhave helped bring newrestaurants and projectslike the Harrison Greenedevelopment featuringDewey’s Pizza, Graeter’s,FirstWatch cafe and Tom+ Chee to the township.

“TheTIF is an econom-ic development tool andit’s what created all ofthese projects,” he said.“The TIF, when used cor-rectly – and we’ve donethat – is huge for the town-ship.”

Linnenberg said thetownship has providedTIF funds to support ath-letic improvements atOak Hills High School, LaSalle High School andCovedale School as well,

benefiting scores of areastudents and families.

“If it weren’t for theTIF, I don’t see how any-one thinks we could sur-vive,” he said. “If wedidn’t have the TIF wewould have had to ask fora levy years ago.”

Rosiello said the town-ship is asking for a newlevy because the town-ship has lost about $3.4million in annual revenuedue to state funding cuts.

The township is allo-cating about $1.7 millionfrom the general fund tothepolicedepartment thisyear, and about $1.4 mil-lion to the fire depart-ment.

The levy would givethe township the ability toadd a seventh police beatto strengthen its borderswith neighboring commu-nities, and allow the firedepartment to phase inthe addition of a secondfire and EMS crew 24hours a day, seven days aweek at the department’sheadquarters station onHarrison Avenue.

“We have to be in a po-

sition to act, protectingour residents and protect-ing our property values,”Rosiello said. “Addingthat extra police beat willprovide us a great dealmore safety.”

Grote said the $3 mil-lion the township wouldreceive by ending the TIFisn’t enough to offsetshortfalls from statefunding cuts, but becausethe township has spentgeneral funds conserva-tively it should be able toweather the storm.

“We would at least get$3 million directly,” hesaid. “Let’s lookat the low-hanging fruit. This issuehas significant weight toit.”

Trustee Triffon Callossaid the township re-ceives roughly $8 millioneach year in capital im-provement funds fromthe TIF, so by ending theTIF, the township wouldbe sacrificing those fundsto get $3million in operat-ing dollars, resulting in anet loss of $5 million.

“I’m,quite frankly, justamazed that the formertrustee who voted to es-tablish the TIF in June1994 would vocally comeout now and change hisposition regarding theTIF and its usage,” hesaid.

Grote said the econom-ic climate has changedsince the township creat-ed the TIF two decadesago.

Rosiello said the boardis conscientious about go-ing to residents for tax in-creases.

If the levy is approved,the township would stillhave the lowest tax rate ofany comparable townshipin Southwest Ohio, hesaid.

Colerain Township spelledout the consequences of not be-ing able to use a payroll tax tooffset the loss of state funds at aspecial meeting Tuesday night.

The township is asking vot-ers to approve a JointEconomicDevelopment Zone along Cole-rain Avenue from Struble Roadto Galbraith Road on the Nov. 4ballot. The JEDZ would allowthe township to collect a 1 per-cent payroll tax from nonresi-dentswhoworkwithin the zone.Residentsandbusinesseswouldget the tax back. Nonresidentswho pay income taxes wherethey live could get a tax credit

from their communities of resi-dence.

Colerain Township adminis-trator Jim Rowan said said thetownship looked for a fundingmechanism to improve thetownship’s infrastructure thatdid not raise property taxes forthe residents and businesses inColerain Township to addressthe loss of state money such asthe local government fund andthe estate tax to the townshipgeneral fund.

“The only way we can moveforward without this JEDZ is toraise taxes or reducemillage inother areas and replace itwith atax levy ... or make significantbudget cuts or fee increases,”he said.

Dennis Deters, a member ofthe Colerain Township Board ofTrustees, said the board madetransparencyagoal, andhavingameeting to explain what couldhappen if the JEDZ fails is anexample of making sure resi-dents get information from thetownship.

He said the presentation hadnothing to do with threats andeverything to do with makingsure residents understand thepossible consequences of thefailure of the JEDZ issue. Dur-ing his presentation, Rowansaid losing the annual income apayroll tax will mean some ser-vices the township now offerswill have to be cut or reduced.

“If this fails we can expect

that parks may be closed orhave restricted hours and roadconditions in the township willcontinue to deteriorate,” hesaid.

Rowan said and the townshipmay have to make changes tohow streets are treated in thewinter, moving to a mixture ofsalt and ash to make materialsstretch further. The townshipmight have to eliminate season-al workers, which would alsocut weekend park maintenanceand decrease mowing in theparks. He said summer events,suchas theconcerts andmoviesin the park, sports in parks andoperation of the spraygroundcould also be curtailed.

The township’s senior center

could close eliminating activ-ities, wellness services, meals,classes and rentals.

Rowan said another area thetownship could look to to makefunds available for road repairwould be to cut enforcement ofthe township’spropertymainte-nancecode, including tall grass,trash and nuisance complaints.Staffing reductions could beconsidered, the planning andzoning department could be re-structured and there could befee increases.

The township could also lookat closing theColeraineHistori-cal Society office/museum, andeliminating financial supportfor the Colerain Chamber ofCommerce.

Colerain outlines possible cuts if JEDZ failsBy Jennie [email protected]

Issue 31: GreenTownship safetyservices levy

What it’s about: Issue31isa2.95-mill, continuoussafety services levy fortheGreenTownshipPoliceand Fire & EMS depart-ments.

What it would do:Levy funds would gener-ate about $3.16 million peryear for township policeand fire services. It wouldallowthe township toaddaseventh police beat tostrengthen its borders

with neighboring commu-nities and give the fire de-partment the ability tophase in the addition of asecond fire and EMS crewat the Dent fire station onHarrison Avenue.

How things are now:Green Township has a 1.9-mill, five-year safety ser-vices levy on the books,whichwasrenewedin2013andcostsresidents$56peryear for every $100,000 ofhome market value. Issue31, if approved, authorizesa new, additional levy. The2.95-mill levy would becontinuous and would not

require renewals.Howmuch it will cost:

The 2.95-mill levy is esti-mated to cost the owner ofa home worth $100,000 anadditional $103 annually.

Argument for: Thetownship has lost roughly$3.4million inannual reve-nue due to state fundingcuts, while at the sametime calls for police andfire services have in-creased. The number ofpolice officers and firepersonnel per resident inGreenTownship is the low-est inSouthwestOhio, as isthe township’s total spend-ing per citizen.

Argument against:There is no organized op-position to the levy, but anew levy would increasetaxes for residents andproperty owners.

Who’s for it:TheGreenTownship Financial Re-view Committee recom-mended theboard of trust-ees seek the levy. TheGreen Township Safety

First Committee for Po-lice, Fire & EMS SafetyServices is supporting theissue, and it has also beenendorsed by the South-West Cincinnati Tea Party.

Where to findmore in-formation: Check out ar-chive stories on Cincin-nati.comandviewminutesfrom the July 14 GreenTownship Board of Trust-ees meeting at greentwp.org.

Issue 30: ColerainTwp. contract forJoint EconomicDevelopment Zone

What it’s about:This isa request for the approvalof aJointEconomicDevel-opment Zone contract be-tween Colerain Townshipand the city of Harrisonand the establishment of apayroll tax for workerswithin the zone.

What it would do: Thecontract allows Harrisonto collect a 1 percent pay-

roll tax on behalf of Cole-rain Township in the zone,which includes businessesalong Colerain AvenuefromStrubleRoadsouthtoWest Galbraith Road. Itwill generate about $1mil-lionannually tobeusedforroad and infrastructurerepair and economic de-velopment. Residents ofColerain Township will re-ceive the taxes backthrough a grant.

How things are now:Colerain Township has nojoint economic develop-ment zones established,has no payroll tax in placeand has no dedicated roadlevy to pay for street andother infrastructure re-pairs. 1 percent of busi-nesses net profits will alsobe withheld, and returnedvia grants at the end of theyear.

Howmuch it will cost:1 percent of the employ-ees’ gross wages will bewithheld. If the employeeisaColerainTownshipres-

ident, the amount will begiven back to the residentin the form of a grant.

Argument for: Themoney raised by the taxcan help pay for repairs toinfrastructureatnocost totownship residents. Thetownship has limitedwaysto raise revenue and thiswill not raise property tax-es for residents.

Get information atcolerain.org.

Argument against:The JEDZ will hurt busi-nesses and could driveaway jobs. Nonresidentswho pay the tax can’t voteon it, and the township issneaking the JEDZ in un-der the deadline, as thestate legislature endsJEDZ initiatives at the endof the year.

OCTOBER 29, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A5NEWS

GOP Ohio House can-didate Jonathan Devertoday accused opponentMicah Kamrass of coop-erating with a politicalaction committee that isspending to support theDemocrat’s campaign.

The accusations arethe latest in NortheastHamilton County’s 28thOhio House district,host to one of the closestand nastiest Statehouseraces in Ohio.

Coalition for Ohio’sFuture, a union-backedPAC, has run ads againstDever and in support ofKamrass. Those ads in-cluded some of the samephotos as Kamrass’ ownmarketing material,mailed by the Ohio Dem-ocratic Party.

But the law prohibitscandidates from coordi-natingwith PACs that in-dependently run ads intheir races.

So House Republi-cans plan to file a com-plaint Friday with theOhio Elections Commis-sion, the caucus’ attor-ney said Thursday at apress conference. Possi-ble violations also couldinclude failure to dis-close campaign contri-butions, he said.

A Kamrass spokes-woman dismissed the al-legations as a “patheticdisplay from the desper-ate Dever campaign.”

The photos were paidfor by the Kamrass cam-paign, but they are avail-able for public downloadon the Flickr site ofKamrass’ brother, Ja-red, who works on thecampaign.

Republicans pointedto a client identificationnumber that appears onads from both the PACand the Kamrass cam-paign, saying the num-ber suggests that oneperson lined up all theads.

The Kamrass cam-paign used a national po-litical direct-mail groupcalled JVA Campaigns,which works for left-leaning candidates andgroups. The number,1409, is an internal codethat indicates the jobwas first discussed inSeptember 2014, saidJVA principal A.J.Stokes.

He said he didn’tknow whether the com-pany had worked for thePAC, but that the firmhandled both kinds ofclients, legally.

The 28th House Dis-trict race has dividedtheHamiltonCountyRe-publican Party. SomeRepublicans have comeout against Dever afterhis hard-fought primaryvictory over Blue AshCity Councilman RickBryan.

“As Republicans andIndependents in the dis-trict continue to aban-don his Tea Party-backed campaign, andas he has failed to landthe endorsement of anymajor group, Dever hascalled on his Columbuspuppet-masters to helphim spread more lies,”said Emma Drongowski,deputy campaign man-ager for Kamrass.

The Kamrass cam-paign sent out state-ments from Bryan andBlue Ash Mayor LeeCzerwonka, denouncingDever.

At the press confer-ence, Dever denouncedads sent on behalf ofKamrass as illegal cam-paign activity.

“I believe the votersof the 28th deserve thetruth before they casttheir ballots in twoweeks,” Dever said.

Ads mailed by the Co-alition for Ohio’s Futuretie Dever to criminals’escape attempts, saying“Dever’s plan doesn’tsupport Ohio’s prisons.”

That notion appearsto come from Republi-cans’ tax cuts and Dev-er’s support for Gov.John Kasich’s proposalto eliminate the state in-come tax. Kasich’s plancamewith suggested ex-pansions of other taxesto make up for some ofthe cuts in revenue.

Another mailer fromKamrass depicts Deverholding a rifle and callshim an “extremist.”

State Rep. Matt Huff-man, R-Lima, chairmanof the House Republi-cans’ re-election com-mittee, said the Demo-

crats were using scaretactics.

“When the source orthe object of your cam-paign is to scare the pub-lic into believing thatthis nice guy andhis nicewife and his nice familyare really outrageouspeople, those are thekind of things think weneed to bring to the pub-lic,” he said at Dever’spress conference.

Republicans havealso run questionable

ads in support ofDever’scampaign. They suggestKamrass celebrates vot-er fraud because he waspresent at a 400-personvoting rights rallywhere fraudulent voterMelowese Richardsonwas called to the stagefor a “welcome home”and a hug from the Rev.Al Sharpton.

Some Democrats atthe rally decried Hil-ton’s decision to recog-nize Richardson.

Dozens of hauntedhouse attractions open upeach October throughoutGreater Cincinnati in thehopes of scaring the pantsoff thrill seekers.

From the Dent School-house to the USS Night-mare, today’s commercialhaunted house industrycan thank the old WSAIradiostationandtheSyca-more-Deer Park Jayceesfor setting the foundationfor local horror.

“We put on the firstcommercial hauntedhouse in theUnited Statesin 1970,” said Cincinnatigarden expert DennyMcKeown,who organizedthe nation’s first haunt forthe Jaycees and the radiostation, which was basedin Price Hill at the time.

McKeown recruitedvolunteers from the Jay-cees, as well as a teacherand students from ElderHigh School, and went toworkbuildingthehauntedhouse in a home on St.

Claire Avenue in Clifton.“We made a lot of mis-

takes that firstyear, itwastrial and error, butwe stillmanaged to make $21,000for charity,” he said.

PriceHill resident RoyHotchkiss, whose brotherwas the Elder art teacherwho supplied students tohelp with the hauntedhouse andplay ghouls andghosts, volunteered hisartistic talents to help de-sign the haunt.

“Those early hauntedhouses were really lowtech by today’s standards... If you wanted some-thing special it had to bebuilt. That’s what I did forthose early hauntedhouses. I built scarystuff,” Hotchkiss said.

McKeown said the sec-ond year for the haunt iswhentheeventreally tookoff.

Theysetuptheproduc-tion in an old house inReading, and he said theyraised $121,000 that year.Admissionwasonly$1perperson, which meant thehaunted house attracted

more than 120,000 gueststhatyear,hesaid.TheJay-ceesdonated themoneytobuild two community cen-ters.

“No one has ever donewhat we did that secondyear,” he said.

The Jaycees andWSAIputona fundraisinghauntevery year until the early1980s,McKeown said, andevery haunt was held in adifferent locationthroughout thecityand itswhereabouts were keptsecret until the morningof the opening.

Hotchkiss said, in hisopinion, the very bestWSAI haunted house wasin 1974 on Victory Park-way near Xavier Univer-sity.

“Itwas theDollyCohenMansion and it was im-mense,” he said. “Thiswas my favorite hauntedhouse and I designed ev-ery room. Our whacky lit-tle Halloween hauntinggrew from a freaky fund-raiser to full-on horrify-ing Hollywood produc-tions.”

Carrie Barnett and Marge Hilliard will be presentedtheir state level awards at the OAEA Professional Development Conferencein November in Columbus.

Don’t look in an office forStacy Papke or Dave Volk.

They will probably be outwalking the halls, meetingwith students and teachers,keeping La Salle High Schoolone of the top schools in thearea. Papke, of Amelia, is deanof academics and Volk, ofLoveland, is dean of studentsand director of technology.Both are considered assistantprincipals. It’s a new job forPapke, but Volk was actingdean of discipline last year.

Papke’s responsibilities in-clude helping teachers im-prove their skills,whether thatis throughhelping findmateri-als, scheduling conferencesthey can attend, or observingand working with teachersone-on-one.

“Whether it is through pro-fessional development, obser-vations, discussing things, orcollaborating with them, that’swhere my primary responsi-

bilities are with the teachers,”she said.

Papke taught math at LaSalle for 14 years before start-ing her new position this year.Before coming to La Salle, sheworked in the computer indus-try, having an undergraduateand master’s degree in engi-neering from Wright StateUniversity. She is close to ob-taining her principal’s license

fromXavier University.Volk alsomoves throughout

the building throughout theday.

“My forte is implementingand looking at processes thatare not working and figuringout what is the process, andhow to amend this process toproduce that product wewant,” he said.

To that end, Volk studiedLean this summer at MiamiUniversity, where he learnedhow to fine-tune processes hecan use to improve La Salle.Volk, a 1976 La Salle grad and,like Papke, a graduate ofWright State University,taught math for 29 years be-fore becoming director oftechnology six years ago. Hebegan the transition to dean ofdiscipline last year. Most ofPapke’sandVolk’s job,asassis-tant principals, is to let Princi-pal Tom Luebbe focus on thecontinued growth of La Salle.

“Olivia is one of those special

athletes that weareveryhappytohavehereatKen-tucky,” Lipsitzsaid.

“She came inas a technicalplayer for us inthe midfield andwehavenowcon-

verted her into one of the bestcenterbacks in the league. Shehas an incredible work ethic onand off the field and that is a di-rect correlation to her play onthe field for us.”

Jester, who is from Colerain,has played in all 15 games thisseason and has a team-leading1,326 minutes for the Wildcats.She scored an unassisted goal ina 3-0 win against visiting More-head State on Sept. 7.

“It’s hard to say where wewould be without Olivia on theback line right now, because shehas been so solid for us the lasttwo seasons. Playing the center-back position with the style ofplay thatwehave, it takesaveryvocal, dynamic leader to playthat position, and Olivia in thepast couple of years has steppedup and embraced that role.”

UK won its first-ever gameagainst a top 5 opponent underLipsitz and itwashis third top10win in his six-year tenure.

Jester, who also had Purdueand Vanderbilt among her finalcollege choices during the col-

lege recruitingprocess, said shewas impressed by the familyatmosphere Lipsitz was tryingto build at the time.

Jester remembers attendinga basketball game at Rupp Are-na and being thoroughly im-pressed.

“I wanted to build a programandmake it better,” Jester said.

Jester, 20, also wants to helpathletes in her future career en-deavors.

A communications majorwith a minor in business, Jesterwould like to work inmarketingor public relations for a largecompany such as Nike.

In the preseason, UK attend-edNike’s campus in Oregon andJester enjoyed learning moreabout the company and how ithelps athletes.

But for now, Jester is open tocontinuing to improve her soc-cer performances this seasonand looking into next year. Thispast summer in the Women’sPremier Soccer League for theChicago Red Star Reserves andwas named a 2014 WPSL North-west Central All-Star.

Jester remembers her timeatMcAuley and said therewas acloseness among the players.One of her favorite memorieswas anytime the team defeatedColerain during the season.

“My favorite memory wasbeing with my team and friendsat McAuley,” she said.

La Salle football coachNate Moore never looksahead on the Lancers’schedule this season.

The perspective maysound cliché, but theLancers’ focus is simplyon each game that weekand the mission is to beimproved over the previ-ous week.

La Salle took care of itsWeek 9 Friday night inconvincing fashion with a29-6 win over host WintonWoods.

“It was tough sleddingthe whole way,” Mooresaid. “That’s a good team.…We just got enough tostart chipping and hit acouple of big plays. Wewere just sticking withwhat we do.”

La Salle (8-1), rankedNo. 2 in The Enquirer Di-vision II area coaches’poll, was No. 1 in the Divi-sionII,Region6computerratings released by the

OhioHigh School AthleticAssociation on Tuesday.Entering Friday night theLancerswereprojectedtobe No. 2 in the region, ac-cording to Steve Shuck.

The top eight teamsqualify in Region 6 withthe top four hosting afirst-round game.

La Salle, ranked No. 4in this week’s AssociatedPress Division II statepoll, concludes the regu-lar season Oct. 31 at Elderwith an opportunity to bea tri-champion in theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth division.

LaSalle juniorquarter-back Nick Watson threwfor two touchdown passesand junior running backJeremy Larkin caught atouchdown pass and ranfor another to help theLancersonFridaynightatWinton Woods.

Watson was 9 of 15passingfor158yards.Lar-kin rushed 16 times for 88yards.

“We just had to exe-

cute,” Larkin said. “…Westarted off slow (in thefirst half) – we knew wehad to pick up and get itrolling.”

Watson found juniorwide receiver JoshuaGebing for a 21-yardtouchdown pass on theright side of the end zoneearly in the first quarter.The kick failed but theLancers led 6-0 at the 8:18

mark.The touchdown recep-

tion came just a play afterthe Lancers recovered aWarriors’ fumbled puntreturn.

Winton Woods (4-4)started three drives in LaSalle territory but theWarriors’ good field posi-tion in the first half wasnullifiedby several penal-ties. The Warriors held

the time of possession ad-vantage, 18:09 to 5:51 butwere penalized eighttimes for 91 yards in thefirst half.

Larkin caught a 23-yard touchdown passfromWatsonwith3:42 leftin the thirdquarter tohelpmake it 13-0. That com-pleted an 8-play, 52-yarddrive that took 4:02.

La Salle sophomore Ja-rell White scored on a 1-yard touchdownrun in thefourth quarter to helpgive the Lancers a 20-0lead.

Junior kicker NickVeitemadea 25-yard fieldgoal to give the Lancers a23-0 lead with 9:52 left inthe fourth quarter.

Deters respondsJill Rengering, in her letter to

the editor last week, misinter-preted my comments at the Oct.7 ColerainTownship boardmeet-ing as being directed at an indi-vidual. This is not true. Personalattacks andnamecallinghavenoplace in reasoned political de-bate and I would never condonesuch speech.

My criticism was directed tothe Rumpke Corporation, whichhas taken the lead in opposing is-sue 30 under the cloak of “Cole-rainCitizensAgainstUnfairTax-es.” Rumpke has hired a Colum-bus lobbyist and puppeted a fewlocal businesses to make youthink that that ISSUE 30 will in-crease the tax burden on resi-dents. They’ve pummeled uswith misleading literature andcanned phone calls to advancetheir corporate interest underthe banner of popular anti-taxgroups. They’ve attempted tomanipulate your perception ofIssue 30, even though it doesn’tincrease your tax burden. Why?The answer is simple: Greed.

The funds generated throughIssue 30will go directly to our in-frastructure – our townshiproads and sidewalkswhich are indire need of attention. If ISSUE30 doesn’t pass, Colerain will beforced to look at more servicecuts, or worse – more propertytaxes. Personally, I will not standformore taxes. That’s why Issue30 is appealing – it insulates ourresidents and businesses from ahigher tax burden.

So why does Rumpke care? Ibelieve it’s because they wantour families to suffer, and ourbudget to starve soweare forcedto take their expansion money.Theywant50moreyearsof land-fill and the $100s of millions ofdollars that go with it.

Colerain is on the move againand we should be proud. Yourleaders want lower taxes andhigher property values. Rumpkewants to bury us in more gar-bage. On Election Day, on Issue30 ask yourself, who do I trust?

Dennis P. DetersColerain Township trustee

Grote’s TIF stance curiousBecause facts are indeed

stubborn things, I respond toSteve Grote’s Oct. 22 letter inwhich he claimed that cancelingGreen Township’s TIF programwouldprovide themoneyneededto provide safety services with-out a tax levy.

Contrary toMr. Grote’s recol-lection that theTIFprogramwasinitiated in 1996 “by Trustee Up-ton andothers” itwas instead ini-tiated in1994. Imade themotion;it was seconded by none otherthan then-trustee Steve Grote,and unanimously passed.

Contrary to his assertion thatTIF funds have been used “forunrealistic developmentschemes and wasteful land pur-chases,” Green Township’s TIFfunds have paid for five new firestations, all fire vehicles, all po-lice vehicles, the NathanaelGreene Lodge, numerous newparksandextensiveroadway im-provements all along Harrisonand North Bend roads.

TIF funds have leveraged thegame-changing developmentsthat brought us the new MercyHospital, the TriHealth Emer-gency Hospital and the ChristandChildren’sHospital projects.Without these TIF funds, none ofthis could have happened with-out a massive increase in town-ship taxes.

Canceling the TIF programnow – 10 years early – would notonly deprive Green Township of

this tremendous source of capi-tal improvementmoney, but alsoshift millions of dollars out ofGreen Township and back toHamilton County. It would killthe single biggest thing that dif-ferentiates Green Townshipfrom many of our neighboringtownships who have higher tax-es, fewer amenities, and greaterdemographic challenges.

Like John Kerry, who was forthe Iraq war before he wasagainst it, Steve Grote was forthe township TIF program be-fore he was (now) against it. Thequestion iswhy,when it has doneso much palpable good?

State Sen. Bill SeitzGreen Township

The real truthSteve Grote’s article in last

week’s Community Press is verymisleading. Based on his un-founded comments, it would bewrong to vote against the police,fire and EMS levy.

If Green Township gives upthe Tax Increment Financing(TIF)funds,whichMr.Grotevot-ed to establish in June 1994, thetownship loses $8 million in cap-ital improvement funds to get $3million for operating dollars, anet lossof$5millionforthetown-ship. These millions of capitalimprovement dollars are used topurchase emergency vehiclesand all the equipment in the po-lice, fire and EMS departments.TIF funds are used to repavetownship streets and initiateroadway improvement projects-….such as, thewidening ofNorthBend Road in front of the newMercy Hospital. These capitalpurchases plus other road pro-jects could never be done if theTIF funds were lost.

A panel of 12 township resi-dents researched hundreds ofdocumentsandmet to reviewthetownship’s finances. After con-siderable investigation, the Fi-nancialReviewCommitteeunan-imously recommended to thetrustees that a police, fire andEMS levy needs to be placed onthe fall ballot. Mr. Grote did notask for any township records be-foremaking hismisguided state-ments.This isnot responsiblebe-havior.

We are highly disappointedwithMr.Grote’smisguidedstate-ments. We as trustees value themen and women that put theirlives on the line for our commu-nity. Please support our police,fire and EMS personnel and votefor Issue 31.Tony Rosiello, David Linnenberg,

Tax is unfairWith ordinary tax levies, the

government has to get the con-sent of those having to pay thetax before there can be a tax atall.

A peculiar and divisive fea-ture of the JEDZ tax is that, ulti-mately, the group that ends uphaving topaythe tax iscomplete-ly different than the group thatgets to decide on whether or notthere would be a tax.

The trick is with those so-called “grants” where someonecan apply to have all their JEDZtaxes returned to them for theyear.

The grants come automatical-ly, but only those who live in Col-erainTownshipareeligible to ap-ply.

Those aren’t grants; they’rerefunds.

If everyonewho is eligible forthis refund remembers to apply,then anyone living in ColerainTownshipwillbeable toavoidthetax regardless of whether or not

theywork in the enterprise zone.That leaves only those who

liveoutsideofColerainTownshipultimately paying the tax.

And those people never got achance to vote on the tax in thefirst place.

Restore fundingcuts to PWC

People Working Cooperative-ly plays a crucial role in the Cityof Cincinnati providing criticalhome repairs and services sothat low income, elderly, dis-abled homeowners and veteranscan remain in their homes livingindependently in a safe andhealthy environment.

Our mission to help as manypeople in our community as wecan is now at serious risk. TheCity of Cincinnati, who we con-sider a supportive partner, hasrecommended a reduction onPWC’s budget. Recent action byCity Council and the Mayor hasrestored some of the recom-mended reduction. For this weare appreciative.

However, PWC is so effectivein maximizing every dollar, I be-lieve the funding needs to be re-stored in full. The organization isranked in the highest categoryby the Community DevelopmentAdvisory Board and is a modelfor organizations around thecountry.

For every dollar the City allo-cates to PWC, PWC turns it into$3 by creatively securingmatch-ing gifts and grants. In turn, theloss of every dollar is actually aloss of $3 to the PWC budget.Continuing full financial supportofPWCissuchawise investmentby Cincinnati in Cincinnati and awise use of the taxpayer dollars.

I amasking our city leaders toreconsidercuts toPWCandtore-store all funding to this effectiveand efficient organization. Thecity’s return on investment withPWCissignificantbut the impactof PWC’s work in our Cincinnatineighborhoods and families isfar greater.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As the election approach-es, there is a lot of talkabout the economy and jobcreation. Unfortunately, alot of it is just that – talk.

In a recent column in thispaper, my opponent spent alot of time talking about aso-called bipartisan jobsgroup that he would form totalk about job creation.What he doesn’t talk about –any substantive proposals toactually create jobs.

Here is what I think weshould actually do to spurjob creation.

Because small businessesare the backbone of oureconomy, employing morethan half of the U.S. work-force and creating seven outof every 10 new jobs, theymust be the focus of ourefforts. As small businessowners in this communityand across the country havetold me, the key to job cre-ation is removing the obsta-cles that prevent their busi-nesses from growing andadding employees.

The first obstacle wemust address is the difficul-ty many small businesseshave accessing capital. Ihave introduced severalproposals that would help, atno cost to taxpayers, in-crease the flow of much-needed, private capital intosmall businesses, therebyallowing them to expandoperations and hiring.

Next, we should helpease the regulatory burdenon small businesses. It isparticularly difficult forsmall businesses to navigatethe labyrinth of burdensome

regulationscoming outof Washing-ton. Toaddressthis grow-ing burden,the Househas passedseveralbipartisanreforms tothe rule-

making process, including aproposal to require federalagencies to seek regulatoryalternatives that are lesscostly for smaller compa-nies.

We should work to ex-pand trade opportunities forsmall firms. Due to the com-plex maze of trade rules andregulations both foreign anddomestic, less than onepercent of small businessesactively export their prod-ucts. To help boost smallbusiness exports, I haveproposed streamlining thecomplicated export processand providing small busi-nesses access to the toolsthey need to sell their prod-ucts abroad.

These common-sense,bipartisan proposals willhelp provide small busi-nesses the capital and re-sources they need to grow,expand and create jobs. Iam hopeful that after theelection, we will finally havea Senate that is willing towork with the House toenact these critical reforms.

How to spur job creation

SteveChabotCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

In last week’s paper, myopponent TedWinkler belit-tled my life’s work, so, letme set the record straight.

As mayor, I focused onhelping neighborhoodssolve problems and improv-ing our quality of life.

As Congressman, I fo-cused on constituent work,helping to find solutions forcitizens who were frustrat-ed in their dealings with thefederal government.

As an attorney I repre-sented clients at every levelof the judiciary, arriving atoutcomes that satisfied myclients and our community.My experience in publicservice has indeed beendiverse, and it’s exactly thekind of experience that theProbate Court needs.

As I shook hands withvoters across the county atchurch festivals, parades,and flea markets peopleshared with me their expe-riences at critical juncturesin their lives, confirmingmy belief that the ProbateCourt is a place where I canmake a difference.

I heard people open upabout how they feel help-less to stop the downwardspiral of an adult child orbrother or sister sufferingwith mental illness or sub-stance abuse, fearing thatthe troubled family mem-ber would spend a lifetimein and out of trouble withthe law, homeless on thestreets, or worse.

Young couples told meabout their protractedstruggles to adopt a child,at times finding it difficult

not to bediscour-aged bybureau-cratic redtape, won-dering howa child theywant tolove astheir own isstill nottheirs.

People told me how confus-ing it is to probate a de-ceased parent’s estate whilestill grieving for their loss.

What all these peopletold me was further proofof what I already know asan attorney – that the Pro-bate Court is truly a cradleto grave court where peo-ple come for help. Unlikeother courts where peopleare brought to answercriminal charges or wherecivil disputes over moneyare resolved, the ProbateCourt is where people comefor help on the most per-sonal and sensitive of mat-ters.

I believe the ProbateJudge can and should ad-vocate for families in timeof crisis. And to help citi-zens, I have proposed aProbate Academy to beheld at senior citizen cen-ters and other locationsthroughout the countywhere people can come tolearn.

OCTOBER 29, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE

I had nuts left overfrommaking caramelapples so I decided tomake some peanut brit-tle. Peanut brittle can bea tricky candy to make,and some of my recipescall for a candy ther-mometer along with theaddition of baking soda,neither of which thisrecipe requires. I will tellyou that this peanut brit-

tle doesn’thave the“snap” andsomewhatairy tex-ture oftraditionalbrittle.Regard-less, it’ssooo good.

I’mthinking I

should have waited untilthe holidays to sharesince it makes a fabulousgift from the kitchen.

But you knowme, if Imake something that isawesomely good, I canhardly wait to share.

Make this now andsave the recipe to makeduring the holidays. Be-tcha can’t eat just onepiece!

Simple peanutbrittle

Chock full of nuts. Ifyou want more of brittle,use less nuts. AdaptedfromMelanie Barnard’srecipe. As Melanie toldme “follow directionsand it works every time.”If all you have in the frigis salted butter, that’s OKto use.

1/2 stick unsaltedbutter

1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn

syrup - I’ve used bothlight and dark and pre-fer dark

1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups saltedmixed

nuts or peanutsLine cookie sheet with

foil and spray it. Stirbutter, sugar and cornsyrup in pan over medi-um heat until sugar meltsand mixture bubbles andbecomes smooth. Coverand cook for a minute.Stir in vanilla and nutsand cook, stirring con-stantly, until nuts arefragrant and golden

brown, about 5 minutes.Don’t overcook. Pouronto foil, spreading thin.Cool and break apart.Store, tightly covered, atroom temperature up to aweek.

Baked potatoeswith cheese saucelike Wendy’s

For the reader whowants to avoid buyingthese throughWendy’sdrive thru. Homemade isalways better! Here’s acheese sauce that’s soversatile. It’s good onbroccoli and other veg-gies, too. Sometimes I’llwhisk in a squirt of Dijonor dry mustard with themilk mixture. Sharp ormild cheddar work equal-ly well.

And here’s a question Iget asked a lot: can youuse any kind of potatoesfor baking? Well, yes, butthe true baking potatoes,like Idaho, have morestarch in them and bakeup drier and fluffy. Andthey’re really the best, Ithink, for mashed pota-toes. Others, like red, willbake up more “waxy”and firm. My take on it?The bakers are best, butif all you have are red orother kinds, go for it.

4 nice sized bakedpotatoes

2 Tablespoons butter2 Tablespoons flourSalt & pepper1 cupmilk1-1/2 cups shredded

cheddarMelt butter in pan

over medium heat. Addflour and whisk for oneminute. Slowly whisk inmilk and whisk untilthickened, about 5 min-utes. Remove from heatand stir in cheese untilsmooth. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Make a lengthwisesplit in potatoes. Smooshup at both ends to openand fluff up. Pour cheesesauce over.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: Broccoliand cheese stuffedpotatoes

Steam some broccoliflorets and add beforepouring on cheese.

Readers want toknow: Are beetsgood for you?

You bet they are.Boost your brainpowerwith beets.

As we age, poor bloodflow contributes to cogni-tive decline.

Research shows thatbeets can help increaseblood flow to the brain,which helps improvemental alertness andperformance and mayhelp prevent Alzheim-er’s.

Eat them roasted withred onions, olive oil, rose-mary and thyme, thendrizzled with Balsamicvinegar for a true feast.

When buying a newcar is it a good idea toimmediately buy an ex-tended service warranty?Many people do that, butif you do, you have to bevery careful about justwhat you are buying.

When John Scudder, ofHillsboro, bought a newcar a few years ago hesaid he didn’t think twicewhen asked about buyingan extended service war-ranty. “She asked, ‘Doyou want a 60,000-milewarranty?’ I said, ‘OK,sure,’ ” Scudder said.

It was only later thathe asked about the par-ticular warranty hebought and found it wasfrom an independentcompany, not from thevehicle manufacturer.Scudder said he ran intoproblems when he tookhis car into another deal-er and showed his war-ranty.

“He said, ‘We don’taccept it.’ I went to mymechanic and he doesn’taccept it. Then he went to

anothermechanic –but no oneacceptedit,” Scud-der said.

Thedealer whosold himthe policysaid therewas no

problem, that he shouldbring the car back tothem.

“He said, ‘If youbrought the car backhere we would have ac-cepted it.’ But, what ifI’m in Florida? Mydaughter is a doctordown there. I would haveto tow it back 2,000 milesand it just doesn’t makesense,” Scudder said.

Scudder paid $2,200for the warranty and saidhe now realizes he shouldhave bought the manu-facturer’s extended ser-vice warranty instead.

“If it was a Hondawarranty they wouldcover it. I didn’t need to

use it because myHondaran great. But they saidbecause it’s not a Hondawarranty they won’t eventalk with you.” Scuddersaid.

Consumer Reports hasfound most readers spentmore on their warrantythan they saved in re-pairs. But if you stillwant to buy a warrantyyou don’t have to do soimmediately. You canwait until just before theoriginal warranty ex-pires to buy the extendedwarranty.

If you wait you’ll knowwhether you really wantto keep the car. But beadvised, you will prob-ably have to pay more forthe extended warranty atthat point.
