Cheviot considers city services fee
Cheviot officials are consid-ering enacting a fee for city ser-vices to help meet a projected2013 budget deficit.
An ordinance to institute acity services fee was introducedat the city council meeting Tues-day, Dec. 4. A second reading ofthe ordinance is scheduled totake place at a special councilmeeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec.11. The third and final reading isexpected at the regular councilmeeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday,Dec. 18.
Ward 2 Councilman DennisDinkelacker, chairman of coun-
cil’s finance committee, said acity services fee would help thecity address an estimated
$600,000 budgetshortfall in 2013.
The citysought a 4-milloperating levy onthe Novemberballot that wouldhave generated$440,000 annuallyfor the city, butvoters rejected
the measure.Dinkelacker said the elimina-
tion of the Ohio estate tax, a de-crease in property values and in-creases in operating, fuel and in-surance costs have all contribut-ed to the impending deficit.
He said the city alreadyslashed $110,000 from thebudgetfor the fourth quarter of 2012,
and council plans to make addi-tional budget cuts for next year.
“We’re still going to makebudget cuts in allour depart-ments,” he said.
The proposedcity services feeon the table nowis a $12 monthlyfee for Cheviotresidents, Dinke-lacker said. Cityofficials are still
working to determine what themonthly fee should be for busi-ness owners and individualswhoown multi-family residences.
He said Cheviot charged atrash collection fee three yearsago, which brought in $432,000for the city, and the fee rates un-der this proposal are similar tothose charged in 2009.
“We’re not trying to gougeanyone,” Dinkelacker said.
“This is not a way for the cityto take advantage of people. Wehave to come up with somethingto alleviate the economic situa-tion until something else comesup, whether it be at the state orfederal level.”
Councilwoman KathleenZech, an at-large member ofcouncil, voted against enacting acity services fee.
“I have to vote in line withmybasic principles,” she said.
“I don’t like fees, I think theyare an unvoted tax.”
Zech said she respects theopinions of the council memberswho support the ordinance be-cause the city does need to closeits deficit, but sheprefers askingvoters to consider another levyrequest in spring 2013 rather
than charging a fee.“I want to keep our city ser-
vices. I’m very proud of our ser-vices and we have excellent ser-vices,” she said.
“This isn’t an easy decisionfor me, but I just have a majorobjection to fees.”
Dinkelacker said city offi-cials never enjoy asking resi-dents topaymore,but somethinghas to give.
Even if the city charges a fee,he said residents still will payless for trash collection thanthey would if the service wasoutsourced to a private compa-ny.
Zech said nomatterwhat hap-pens she’s confident the city willfind a solution.
“Cheviot will prevail,” shesaid. “We’ve made it throughtough times before.”

Money to cover$600,000 deficitBy Kurt [email protected]
Matt Huesman said it was aprivilege to be chosen to flip theswitchto illuminate thisyear’sna-tivity scene in Cheviot.
Huesman, who owns Maury’sTiny Cove restaurant in Cheviot,kicked off the holiday season bylighting the nativity at the dis-play’s dedication Sunday, Nov. 25.
“It was a nice honor,” he said.Each year the Cheviot West-
wood Community Associationsponsors the nativity scene,which sits in front of the Auto-Zone on Harrison Avenuethroughout the holidays.
Mindy Sweeney, vice presi-dent of the community associa-tion, said the nativity scene is atradition in Cheviot, and the com-munity association likes to cele-brate the illumination of the na-tivity at its dedication each year.
In the past, she said the associ-ation has sponsored a poetry con-test among area school childrenand bestowed the honor of turn-ing on the lights to the contestwinner.
She said this year associationmembersdecidedtogoinadiffer-ent direction and recognize agood samaritan from the WestSide.
Sweeney said they choseHuesman as this year’s good sa-maritan because he helped save a
man who was choking at his res-taurant this past fall.
She said Huesman sprang intoaction, and the manner in whichhe remained calm during theemergency situation played alarge role in saving theman’s life.
“People do good things all thetime, but they often go unno-ticed,” Sweeney said.
“It’s not everyday you hearabout someone who helped saveanother person’s life. We thoughtthat was great, so we decided tohonor Matt.”
Huesman, who’s owned Mau-ry’s for four years, said he initia-lly told Sweeney to honor some-oneelsewhenshecalled to lethimknow he was selected to light thenativity.
“I didn’t think I was deservingof it,” he said.
“I was just doing my job.”He said he was working in the
restaurant’s kitchen when heheard that an82-year-oldmanhadbeenchokingforseveralminutes.
Having helped four otherchoking victims while working inrestaurants throughout his ca-reer,Huesmansaidheraninto thedining room to administer theHeimlich maneuver to the guest.
“Hewasgray.Hewaslifeless,”Huesman said.
“Iwasveryconcerned.Hewashere with his family, and theywere all in shock.”
TheHeimlichmaneuverdidn’t
work, so he said he called 911.He said the dispatcher direct-
ed him to lie the man on the floor,turn his head and begin chestcompressions until paramedicsarrived.
“The paramedics got herevery quickly,” he said, noting theemergency responderswere ableto remove a large piece of food
from the man’s throat.“One of the paramedics told
mehewasimpressedwithmylev-elheadedness in the situation. Hesaid ifmore people could react ascalmly as I did, there would bemore people saved.”
Huesman said hewas just hap-py the man was OK. He said theman was taken to the hospital to
becheckedout, and laterreleasedin good condition.
Sweeney said as part of beingrecognized as this year’s good sa-maritan, the community associa-tion also donated $250 in Hues-man’s name to an organization ofhis choice.
He chose the Cheviot BranchLibrary as the recipient.

Cincinnati’s Oldest Furrier Since 1920
Matt Maurer may seemlike any other 19-year-oldworking his way throughcollege but the College ofMount St. Joseph freshmanis earning more than rentmoney.
The Price Hill residentworks as a customer ser-vice representative forEducation At Work, whichhires college students andoffers to pay up to an addi-tional$6,000peryearofcol-lege tuition based on thestudent’s GPA and courseload.
“My summer job hadended and I needed a newjob for school,” Maurersaid. “When I heard they of-fered tuition reimburse-ment, I was all over it.”
The college teamed upwith the company’s ownerDave Dougherty, formerpresident and CEO for Con-vergy’s, to offer scholar-ships to Mount St. Josephstudents and they recentlyannounced that theywill beopeningacall center inDel-hi Township.
“We’ve been partnerswith (Education At Work)since day one,” MountPresident Tony Aretz said.“Wehope to open the centerin Delhi next year and em-ploy about 200 students.”
Students who partici-pate in the program canearn money for tuition ev-ery six months. Aretz saidthat students at the Mountmust have a 3.0 GPA and betaking 12 credit hours toqualify for $3,000 every sixmonths. Students who takefewer than 12 credit hoursare still eligible for a reim-
bursement but a smalleramount depending on thenumber of hours.
“It’s an added incentivefor students to maintain ahigher grade-point averagewhile earning real-life jobskills that employers seek,”Aretz said.
Maurer said he likes theflexibility of the job.
“They really workaround your school sched-ule and they try to get youready to start your career,”he said.
In themeantime, he saidhe’s happy to make moneyand pay for school.
“It’s like any other job,”hesaid. “But ithelpsmepayfor college. I’d recommendit to anyone.”

Things are starting to head inthe right direction for the ElderHigh School hockey program andcoach Joe Del Prince.
In what is the third season as avarsity program, the Panthers sitat 2-5 on the young season and arecoming off a10-17-6 season a yearago after losing 27 games in the2010-2011 season.
“I think we are doing reallygood,” Del Prince said. “The play-ers were great against some goodcompetition in Columbus anddownhere…The injurybugbit ushard, but the other guys haveplayed very good.”
The team’s two wins havecome against Perrysburg at theDublin Chiller in their season-opener, and Dublin Scioto in whatwas the Panthers’ first win overthe program since they startedplaying them three seasons ago.
“These are games we are los-ing 10-0 a couple years ago,” DelPrince said. “We are heading inthe right direction, and I think weare going to have a really solidteam this year.”
Leading the Panthers early inthe season is junior center A.J.Harvey. Through seven games hehas 11 points and is coming off aseasonwhere he accounted for 65
percent of the Panthers’ pointsand was named first-team All-Southwest Ohio High SchoolHockey League.
“He’s been playing his wholelife and is just a real talentedkid,”his coach said. “He is just a realgood player.”
Harvey has three goals and anassist in the two Elder victories.
Sticking with the offense, sen-iorforwardNickKollmanhasfivegoals on this young season andwas named second-team All-SWOHSHL a season ago.
Others expecting to have ma-jor contributions this season areseniorteamcaptainDominicMar-sala – who is injured but will re-turn this season – Adam Sponau-gle and Joel and JasonMartini.
Perhaps the most vital part tothe Panthers’ success this seasonwill be the play of goalie NickSpicker.His savepercentage thusfar is93percentand ina3-0 loss toSt. XavierDec. 2, he stopped 52 of55 shots on goal.
“He is the reason we don’t lose10-0 anymore,” Del Prince said.“With the (defensemeninjured) infront of him, it’s all on him. Heloves it and is almost gladabout it.He is the running back that wants40 carries a game.”
The Elder Christmas Tourna-mentwill beDec. 26-28 at the Cin-cinnati Gardens.

After graduating nine swim-mers and divers from lastyear’s team, Elder swim coachJohn Book is expecting bigthings from senior Scott Maur-er, who was a district qualifieron two relay teams as a first-year swimmer last year.
“Scott is quite a bit ahead ofwhere he was at this point lastyear and should add a few indi-vidual events at districts thisyear,” Book said.
Junior diver Mitch Godar isback after a record-setting andstate-qualifying sophomorecampaign.
Diving coach Carrie Bush-man told Book that Godar hasadded more difficult dives tohis routine andhasworkedhardin the offseason.
Junior Josh Patty is back af-ter qualifying for districts aspart of the 200-yard individualmedley relay a season ago.
“We’re seeing big improve-ments week over week and thisgroup is working hard, so we’llbe fine come February,” Booksaid.
LaSallecoachMikeLienhartenters a new season with a ros-ter double the size of last year.
And while the turnout maybe greater, the Lancers won’thave much experience to fallback on.
Instead, La Salle will have tofall back on swimmers whoqualified for districts last win-ter as those student-athletesstrive for more postseason suc-cess.
On the diving board, theLancers will rely on JimmyMc-Mahon, who nearly qualifiedfor state.
In races, Lancer seniorsJake Brabender and BlakeBrauning, along with junior Ju-lian Souderwill look to build offtheir district appearances.
The same could be said forsophomores Sam Redd andDrewMeister, whomade an im-pressive run to districts duringthe first year of their prep ca-reers.

They placed third at the Ma-son Invitational Dec. 1 and wonatOakHills, which according tocoach Kim Hogue, hasn’t hap-pened in a “very long time.”
Senior Rachael Hester – astate qualifier last season – wonthe 500-yard freestyle and 100-yardbreaststroke events atMa-son and was named FemaleSwimmer of the Meet.
The season is off to a greatstart for the Oak Hills boysswim team.
They defeated Colerain andLaSalle in the first twomeets ofthe season.
Senior sprinter Curtis Rob-ertson and Brian Locker, whocompetes in the 500-yard free-style and 200 individual medleywill lead the Highlanders thisseason.
“They have been very solidall thewayaround,”coachKatieHunter said. “They have beenvery good.”
Two newcomers have im-pressed Hunter thus far. JacobSavard and JohnKearns are ex-pected to contribute this sea-son.
“(Jacob) is already on somerelays and is another goodsprinter,” Hunter said. “(John)took a year off and has comeback and impressed us.
The Lady Highlanders are adifferent story.
After graduating 12 seniors,Hunter has a very young teamandwill look toHaileyRyanandher other three returners for
leadership.“We are kind of focusing on
technique and rebuilding,”Hunter said.
Seton will look for big con-tributions from senior EmilyHayhow and junior LindseyNiehaus.
In their victory over Prince-tonDec.1,HayhowandNiehausboth won multiple races, whileNiehaus won the 100 freestyleand backstroke in a loss to St.Ursula.

GREEN TWP. — KristinPerica takes over an OakHills gymnastics programin just its secondyear of ex-istence.
Running out a youngteam with six freshmen orsophomores, team captainsSarah Arnold – the team’sonly senior – and juniorMi-chelleBushlewill be lookedupon to lead and guide theirteammates. Arnold waspart of the squad last sea-son, while Bushle bringsgymnastics experience tothe table but this is her firstyear with Oak Hills.
Bothgymnastswill com-pete in the all-around com-petition, which is a step upfor Arnold after competingin just vault and beam as ajunior.
“Weare lookingfor themto be strong all-aroundersthis year and be good lead-ers for the team,” Pericasaid. “(Sarah) is really step-
ping up this year as a seniorcompeting in all theevents.”
Two others expected tocontribute heavily are Ke-leigh Bowman and HannahMasminster.
Bowman is inher secondyear with the team and willbe another all-around com-petitor for Perica, whileMasminster will take to thevault, bars and the floorroutine but her coach ex-pects her to make the leapto all-around eventually.
One of themore remark-able stories for the LadyHighlanders has been thejourney of junior DestinyGenoe.
Coming into the seasonwith no gymnastics experi-ence, she will start the sea-son competing on bars,beam and the floor routine,which Perica finds to be anamazing feat.
“She just picked up onthings and is getting theskills to put into her rou-tine,” her coach said. “(As-
sistant coach LindsaySprague) and I are reallyimpressed with her. It’sgreat to just watch themgrow as gymnasts. Some-one likeDestiny just pickedup on things and has verygood body awareness.”
While not without anyexperience in the sport,freshman Sarah Voigt hassurprised her coaches. It’sbeenquiteafewyearssincethe freshman took part ingymnastics; she is onlycompeting on bars as ofnow, but Perica describesVoigt as a go-getter.
“I would describe her asfearless,” Perica said. “Wetell her to do something andshewill get up and do it. It’sgreat because some girlsget a little scared whenasked to do things and Sa-rah will just get up and doit.”
The Lady Highlandersstarted their season Dec. 8at the Forest Hills Flip Festmeet at Anderson HighSchool.

“To Ian’s credit hedidn’t want to be runner-up,” Brower said. “So thatis motivation for biggerand better things for himthis season. The individualwhowon (state last season)is back so he has his handsfull. He’s been lookingreally good in practice so
he’ll be in the mix.”Brower knows if his
squad is going to make arun at state again they willneed help from more thanjust the senior class.
“The junior class, asfreshmen, probably didn’tcome in with a lot of cre-dentials and we are start-ing to see them emerge,”he said. “Theyare theclassthat has to fill in (for thosewho graduated), so we arereally impressed withtheir progress they’vemade as a group.”
The Taylor boys teamwill is led by Nick Wasser-bauer, who in the YellowJackets’ season-openingloss to La Salle won the200-yard individual med-ley and the100 backstroke.
Junior Shelby Nolanwill be a big part of thegirls team. She won the200IM and 100 back in aloss toMcAuley tostart theseason.
Expect the 200-yardfreestyle relay teams tomake some noise for boththe boys and girls as well.

You can help make Christmas specialThe numbers released this
fall were almost unimaginable:one in five children in our regionis growing up in poverty. That is167,000 children in poverty –enough to fill Paul Brown stadi-um two and half times.
That disturbing statistic is nota bit surprising to St. Vincent dePaul volunteers. Last year, wevisited the homes of neighborsin need more than 9,000 times inHamilton County alone. We visittiny apartments in inner cityneighborhoods, humble homes inworking class communities,trailer parks in rural areas, and,increasingly, homes in neigh-borhoods that might surpriseyou.
Inside those homes we seehuman suffering at its mostheart wrenching. When a family
slips into pover-ty, the pain isalmost pal-pable. Ourvolunteers seeadult men intears, ashamedbecause theycannot feedtheir families.We see mothersworn down by
worry over bills they cannot pay,middle-aged couples who can’tafford their insulin, and elderlypeople who keep the thermostatset at 62 degrees to lower theirutility bill.
Increasingly, though, theinvisible and silent victims ofthese uncertain economic timesare children. Inside homes allacross our community, St. Vin-
cent de Paul volunteers seechildren who never know ifthere will be food for dinner onany given day. We see childrenwho sleep on linoleum floorswith only a thin blanket to keepthemwarm. We find childrenwho move from school to schoolas their families seek stablehousing – and there are fewthings as hard as being the newkid at school who also wears thesame two outfits day after day.
And yet, these very samechildren show remarkable cour-age and grace. There is the boywho goes to school hungry sothat his little brothers and sistercan eat. Or the big brother whogave his bed to his little brother.Or the little girl who asked fordiapers for her baby brotherinstead of a Christmas gift. Our
volunteers are blessed each dayto witness powerful lessons oflove among the children that we,as a community, should be pro-tecting and caring for.
They are lessons that meanall the more during the Christ-mas season. For a child – anychild – Christmas is truly a sea-son of hope. There is somethingprofoundly moving about pro-viding a special gift to a childwho still believes in Christmasmiracles or food for a familythat is struggling. Those are kindacts that live and grow in theheart of a child. It is a gift eachof us can give.
You can make this Christmasspecial for a family in need by:
» Supporting “Food From theHeart” the next time you visityour local Kroger. Ask your
child to pick out their favoritenon-perishable food and place itin the barrel at the door. Ourneighborhood volunteers willgather the food and take it to alocal family in need.
»Making a donation in honorof a loved one to provide Christ-mas gifts to a child in need. Adonation of just $50 will allow usto purchase new gifts to make achild’s Christmas brighter thisyear.
» Visit our website,www.SVDPcincinnati.org, or call513-421-HOPE to find out moreabout ways you can give the giftof hope this Christmas season.

The October issue of theChirper, the official publicationof the Price Hill Civic Club,documents the demise of the “oldapartment building,” the Hermo-sa – “Plagued by crime it has
come down tomake room fornew greenspace.”
This majes-tic building,located at WestEight Streetand HermosaAvenue, was athrowback tothe neighbor-hood it was
named after, Hermosa Park.An 1894 description of the
neighborhood reads, “There arefound here, in about equal num-bers, the attractive cottage of thewage earner set in beautiful littlegarden plots and the more pre-tentious residents of the success-ful business man. But the prideof Hermosa Park is her newschoolhouse, built in 1886, itsprincipal John H. Carson. Thearea is called Hermosa Parkbecause of its near approach inbeauty of scenery and surround-
ings to its renowned namesake inthe RockyMountains, althoughthe general public understand itto be a part of her parent suburb,Price Hill.” – Price Hill: Its Beau-ties and Advantages as a Placeof Residence.
This account of HermosaPark’s heyday is quintessentialWest Side – a totally class-lessneighborhood that includedeveryone. Where people of dif-ferent backgrounds and incomessupported, and learned from,each other. Today however, thePrice Hill Civic Club is cele-brating the razing of the Hermo-sa as “An amazing victory for theneighborhood. Made possible bya group of determinedWestPrice Hill residents.”
Their message was loud andclear. “We don’t like our neigh-bors. We don’t want these lowclass apartment dwellers livingin our middle class neighbor-hood!” So they huffed and puffedand blew their house down.
Perhaps, through the years, ina more subtle way, the verywealthy were also made to feeluncomfortable. For evidence the“pretentious residents of thesuccessful business man,” like
the lavish estate of George Re-mus, “King of the Bootleggers,”have also disappeared from theHermosa Park landscape. I won-der, “Was the crime-plaguedRemus home also the target of avigilance committee?
When evaluating the “takingback our neighborhood” strategywe should ask ourselves, “Wasthe neighborhood taken from uswhen Hermosa Park lost itsidentity to its big Price Hillbrother? Had the neighborhoodretained its Hermosa Park name
would it have rescued itself fromdecline?”
Maybe I’m too much the cyn-ic, or the sentimental optimist.But of this I am certain. TheMighty Hermosa was brought toits knees. But through the yearsthe grand old apartment buildinghas served us well. With its beau-tiful balconies and twin court-yard design it was a gift to thosewho lived there – and a gift tothose who passed by it.
On a personal note: To thatarea’s “West Price Hill” resi-
dents who say, “I live in Cov-edale.” Please stop it! You haveyour very own neighborhood. Sodust it off and take it back. Hon-or the Hermosa Park legacy. Tellthe world, “I live in HermosaPark!”
This would be the Hermosa’sfinal, and best gift, to theWestSide.
Jim Grawe is the co-founder ofthe Covedale NeighborhoodAssociation. He grew up in Her-mosa Park.

Proudly supporting lovesince 1953
It’s interesting howyour requests coincidewith current events. TheRuth Lyons Children’sFund is in full swing andI’ve had several requestsfor her famous coffee-cake. It’s a special way tohonor this woman who hashad such a positive impacton us.
Ruth Lyons’coffeecake
I have a few versions ofthis recipe, but this is theone that’s supposed to be
Ruth’soriginal.I’ve madethis twicenow, oncefollowingthe recipebelow andonce mak-ing it with21⁄4 cupsflour, 11⁄2teaspoons
cinnamon, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt,1⁄2 cup oil, 2 teaspoonsvanilla and no vinegar.(The vinegar is used to“sour” the milk, making itmore like buttermilk). Imade a thin icing to glazeit, as well. The differencebetween the two wasslight. This is a straight-forward, simple coffee-cake. If you want a richertasting one with a thickercinnamon topping, I havemy holiday overnightcoffeecake on my blog.
1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, dark
preferred21⁄2 cups flour1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon salt3⁄4 cup oil1 teaspoon vinegar1 cupmilk1 egg, lightly beaten1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Mix the first sixingredients. Add oil andstir until crumbly. Re-serve and set aside 3⁄4 cupfor topping. Add vinegarto milk, then add to sugarmixture. Add egg andsoda; mix well. Pour into asprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Sprinkle with top-ping. Bake 30 minutes.

My best clone ofWilliams-Sonomapeppermint bark
You didn’t think I couldlet the holidays go bywithout sharing yet anoth-er version, did you? Someof you have had trouble inthe past with the barkshattering/separating.That happens somewhateven with the purchasedbark, but this recipe keepsthat to a minimum, if atall. Out of all the recipesI’ve made for barkthroughout the years,using different melting
methods and chocolates,I’ve come back to myclassic way of teachingstudents. By the way,check out the photo. Canyou tell which is mine andwhich is Williams-Sono-ma’s? I used Kroger realsemi-sweet and whitechocolate morsels.
2 cups semi sweet chocolatechips, divided into 11⁄4 cupand 3⁄4 cupmeasures
11⁄2 teaspoons peppermintextract, divided into 1teaspoon and 1⁄2 teaspoonmeasures
23⁄4 cups white chocolatechips, divided into 21⁄4 cupand 1⁄2 cupmeasures
1⁄4 cup crushed peppermintcandy
Line a cookie sheetwith one piece of foil,about 10 inches by 12 inch-es. Or do the same in a13-inch by 9-inch pan.
Put 11⁄4 cups semi-sweetchocolate in heat proofbowl. Set over a saucepanthat has 1 inch of steamingwater, making sure bowl
does not touch water. (Thisis a makeshift doubleboiler). Heat should beturned to low. Stir untilchocolate is just aboutmelted, then remove bowlfrom pan and stir 3⁄4cupmore in rest of semisweetchocolate, a bit at a time,until all is melted. If nec-essary, put the bowl backon the pan to help melt. Ifthere’s any moisture onthe bottom of the bowl,wipe it dry. Stir in 1 tea-spoon of the extract andpour onto foil, spreadingin even layer. Tap pan oncounter to remove any airbubbles. Let sit at roomtemperature until justabout set, anywhere from15-20 minutes. When youpress your finger into thechocolate a very slightindentation will remain.
Put 21⁄4 cups white choc-olate in clean bowl andrepeat process for melt-ing, stirring in remaining1⁄2 cup chips after remov-ing bowl from pan. Stir in1⁄2 teaspoon extract. Pour
over chocolate layer andspread.
Sprinkle with candy. Ifnecessary, gently pressinto chocolate. Let set atroom temperature untilcompletely firm.
Peel bark off foil andbreak into pieces. Store,covered, at room temper-ature up to a month or so.If it’s extremely warm inthe house, store, covered,in refrigerator and bringto room temperature be-fore eating.

To increase its emphasison providing services topeople affected by spina bi-fida, the Spina Bifida Asso-ciation of Cincinnati is be-coming an independent or-ganization serving 17 coun-ties in Ohio, Indiana andKentucky.
The organization alsohas changed its name to theSpina Bifida Coalition ofCincinnati to make it clearthat it is no longer affiliatedwith thenational SpinaBifi-da Association.
After careful considera-tion, the Spina Bifida Coali-tion of Cincinnati board de-cided to end its affiliationbecause the board of direc-tors believes the mission ofthe national organization isno longer fully alignedwithcoalition’s mission. The co-alition’s primary mission istoprovideservices to itscli-ents. The national organiza-tion’s primary missionseems to be raising moneyto fund spina bifida re-search.
“Our main focus willcontinue to be helping peo-ple born with spina bifidalead full, active lives in our
region,” said Justin Bifro,coalition chair. “We ac-knowledge that researchcontinues to be vital to less-en the impact of spina bifi-da on future generations.But we think our organiza-tion isbestsuitedtoenhanc-ing the lives of those affect-ed by spina bifida today.
“Our board is convincedthat this is the right deci-sion for our clients becauseitwillkeepourfocusonpro-viding high-quality ser-vices and programs tothem,” he said.
Programs and servicesof the coalition will not beimpacted. Because the
changesaremostly internalones, the coalition’s clients,donors and volunteersmight not even notice anydifferences, other than theorganization’s new nameand logo.

Inaddition to in-tensive one-on-one sup-port, mentors strive tostrengthen the social, emo-tional and educationalskills of the child and his/her family; improve rela-tionships; andmeetgoalsofthe child’s specific diagno-sis.
“Involving each men-tee’s parents and siblings isreally critical to us beingable to nurture the successof a child who is at greatrisk of failure, yet con-tractsdonot fundtheaddedexpenses of doing this,”said PatrickNugent, BeechAcres vice president of de-velopment. “Grants anddo-nations make our extrastep possible. The HattonFoundation grant allows ustomake a real difference in
the lives of young people.”Beech Acres also re-
ceived a $2,500 grant fromthe Cincinnati RotaryFoundation toward theTherapeutic MentoringProgram.

Beech Acres parenting center receives grant
Many older Americansare struggling to affordfood to meet their basic di-etary needs. This month,nearly 1,000 vulnerableolder adults will receive ajar ofpeanutbutter in addi-tion to their Meals onWheels delivery, thanks to
donations from friends andneighbors during a fooddrive last month.
In October, WesleyCommunity Services,AARP Ohio and Walgreenseffort asked area residentsto “Spread Some Good”with donations of peanutbutter at 57 local Wal-greens stores in GreaterCincinnati and NorthernKentucky. The food drive,Oct. 11-29, collected 940jars.
The food drive is part ofthe national AARPDrive toEnd Hunger; which pro-motes awareness about theserious problem of seniorhunger. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture Eco-nomic Research Serviceshows that inOhio,15.5per-cent of households werefood insecure at some timeduring the year between
2009 and 2011, compared to14.7 percent nationally.
While there are manysimilar food drives acrossthe country, the effort inCincinnati and NorthernKentucky was different inits focus on a singular item.The partnership alsohelped to assure that dona-tions remained in the com-munity.
Peanut butter is low incalories and is a source offiber, protein, and good di-etary fat. For older adults,the benefits of healthy eat-ing include increasedmen-tal acuteness, resistance toillness and disease, higherenergy levels, faster recu-peration times, and bettermanagement of chronichealth problems.
“On behalf of the boardofdirectorsforWesleySer-vices Organization, we are
delighted this initiativewas such a huge success.We recognize the impor-tance to innovate beyondtraditional home-basedservices and strive to pro-vide value added programssuch as Pet Portions, freepet food, and PetKare, freeveterinary service, as wellas fresh dairy products,fruit, snacks, and of coursepeanut butter,” said Ste-phanie Tunison, chief exec-utive officer, Wesley Ser-vices Organization.
StephenSmookler, chiefoperations officer, WesleyCommunity Services, said,“Wesley Community Ser-vices has helped olderadults remain at homewithMeals-On-Wheels, special-ized transportation, andhome care and personalcare services for the last 20years. We look forward tofuture initiatives with ourfriends at AARP Ohio andWalgreens.”

It must be used at least 50% for business, based on mileage, in the first year itis placed in service. So if you choose to use it for both personal and business use, the cost eligible fordeduction would be the percentage used for business.
WHAT’S THE URGENCY?For 2013, all indications are that the Section 179 deduction limitation will be reduced to only $25,000and any bonus depreciation deduction will be eliminated. So the December 31, 2012, deadline isapproaching quickly.
