A judge will decide nextmonth whether to approve acash settlement for taxpayersin the Indian Hill Exempted Vil-lage School District.

If approved, $4.6 million willbe available for refunds as partof a lawsuit filed by the Com-mittee for Responsible SchoolSpending. Additional moneywill also be paid to attorneys aspart of the settlement.

A hearing will be at 8:30 a.m.Friday, Jan. 8, at the HamiltonCounty Courthouse, 1000 MainSt., Room 340.

Taxpayers who paid taxes tothe district as part of their semi-annual tax payments in 2011,2012, 2013 and 2014 will be enti-tled to a refund.

During its November meet-ing, the Indian Hill school boardapproved a $5.5 million pay-ment to taxpayers and attor-neys as part of a recent settle-ment of a property tax lawsuit.

The lawsuit stems from aninside millage decision made bythe board in 2009 which permit-ted the board to move 1.25 millsof inside millage to fund perma-nent improvements. The stateallows for an inside millagemove without a public vote.

A group called the Commit-tee for Responsible SchoolSpending, which formed short-ly after the decision by theboard, contended the move wasunnecessary since the districthad an estimated $24 million incash reserves at the time.

The committee fought tohave the tax increase over-turned by filing appeals withboth the Ohio Board of Tax Ap-peals and the Ohio SupremeCourt, which eventually ruledthat the additional revenuefrom the outside mills was notrequired.

Earlier this year, the boardrequested the 1.25 mills not be

levied in 2015 and said home-owners would be reimbursedfor additional money.

Shortly after, a lawsuit wasfiled by Committee for Respon-sible School Spending, seekingmore than $5 million.

The matter has been in litiga-tion for several months.

If the settlement is ap-proved, the specific amount tobe refunded to the taxpayerswill be determined, said HarveyRosen, settlement administra-tor.

Rosen said notices will likelybe sent to taxpayers in March orApril.

The taxpayers will have an

option whether to accept the re-fund or donate it to the IndianHill Public Schools Foundation.

“This is one more step to-ward an ultimate resolution ofthis matter for the district andtaxpayers,” SuperintendentMark Miles said.

Rosen said if anyone wishesto air a grievance or objectionregarding the settlement, itmust be filed with the HamiltonCounty Common Pleas Court byTuesday, Jan. 5.

Anyone seeking additionalinformation on the settlement,can go online towww.indianhillsettlement.comor call 216-566-9917.

“Excellent neighbors in the usualsense.”

That’s how Carl Studerus, 89, describeshis Kenwood neighbors of the last decade,Ed and Martha Capannari. As neighbors,they have long been friends.

Studerus has adult daughters who nolonger live in the area. One lives in Atlan-ta and the other Burbank. Yet he neverlacks for company or support. When hegoes out of town, the Capannaris lookafter his house. When it snows, they helpwith snow removal and so forth, he wrotein his letter of nomination for NeighborsWho Care.

“Because we each have two bichondogs and interests in tennis and othersports, we became much more neigh-borly,” Studerus wrote. “They frequentlyask me to dinner or to participate in theiractivities.”

This summer, however, things changedwhen Studerus fell from a ladder whiletrimming the hedge.

“Knowing that Martha was a nurse, Icalled them for help,” he said. “They cameover immediately, took me to the hospitaland stayed with me until I was examinedand assigned to a room. Fortunately, therewere no serious injuries. I spent three

days in the hospital and three weeks in arehab facility.”

Martha Capannari was very humbledby Studerus’ nomination for NeighborsWho Care.

“I feel lucky he’s been in our life,” shesaid.

In June, when Studerus fell, Capannariwas off on vacation and available to helpand accompany him to the emergencyroom. The injury was very serious, a frac-tured pelvis. Despite the serious nature ofthe injury, Capannari said that she alsoknew that Studerus would want to berecovered in time for the Western &Southern Open in August where he’s anusher. Having a goal is helpful.

“And by God, he did it,” she said. Hewas able to once again serve as an usherat the open.

The friendship shared by the Capanna-ris and Studerus is special and extends totheir children and Martha Capannari’smother as well.

“It’s just been lovely. A lovely ex-change,” Capannari said. “I don’t knowhow life has put us together, but it’s surebeen a blessing.”

Clearly Studerus agrees. Before hisaccident, the families were close. Afterthe accident, they have become even clos-er.

“They have made every effort to makeme feel like a part of their family. Theyare two of the most exceptional and car-ing people that I have ever known,” Stude-rus wrote.

Caring for neighbors ‘anatural thing’

At first, it was an elderly coupleacross the street. Wanda Owens, now74, helped take care of their needs,doing their shopping, and taking themto doctor appointments.

When they died, she began to helpanother elderly neighbor, who wasconfined to a wheelchair. Owenslooked after her almost daily, until theneighbor died.

In the 52 years she has lived in herhouse, Owens has always taken care ofher Rossmoyne neighbors.

When a friend’s husband was diag-nosed with Parkinsons disease, andthey moved to a nursing home, Owensvisited frequently, and helped herfriend after her friend’s husband died.

When that friend also died, Owensmade sure her wishes were honored,and tended to her beloved dog until he,too, died, scattering his ashes besidehis owner’s grave.

Her own 90-year-old mother was nolonger able to live by herself, so Ow-ens moved in with her, and tended toher every need until she died at age97.

When her mother-in-law moved intoa nursing home, she visited her week-ly, brought her fresh laundry, and tookhome her dirty clothes. She continuedthis until her death at 98.

“I feel very blessed in my life, be-cause I’ve had a good family and a lotof good friends and I’ve had the capa-bility to help a lot of people.”

“It just seems like a natural thingfor me to do,” Owens said quietly.

Owens suffered losses of her ownwith the death of her 35-year-olddaughter and the loss of her husbandat age 55, both from cancer.

After her husband died, she beganvolunteering at Hospice.

On top of volunteering, and takingcare of others, she raised two daugh-ters and was “daycare” and “kinder-garten teacher” for her two grand-children, and recently, her two great-grandchildren, while their parentsworked, according to Bob Morrow,friend to Owens for 57 years, andboyfriend of 20 years.

“I know of no one more thoughtful,caring and helpful than her. Throughall of this, she has been a rock and isalways cheerful,” he said.

Accident brings Kenwoodneighbors even closer

Fairfax couplethankful forgenerosity ofneighbors

Fairfax residents Jimand Eileen Seiter saidwhat initially attractedthem to Fairfax was thesense of community.

More than 50 yearslater, they say that senseof community and out-reach has continued.

“As we’ve gotten older,(neighbors) have lookedout for us,” Eileen said.

This has extendedfrom mowing the grassand shoveling snow offthe driveway to homerepairs such as changingfurnace filters and clean-ing.

This generosity hasonly grown since Jim hadvarious health issues,Eileen said.

“We just want (theneighbors) to know weappreciate all of theirhelp,” Jim said.

Among the neighborswho have provided assis-tance are Dave Reevesand his son, DavidReeves, Phillip Miller,Charlie Sullender and hisson, Erick Sullender, KenEvans, Diane Lovens andDee Crab.

This outreach hasincluded moral support aswell, Jim said.

“It’s been life saving,”he said.

Jim, who has had mo-bility issues, said theneighbors have evenhelped in maintaining hisworkshop.

Jim said in the past, heand his wife would helpothers when they wereable to. The fact many ofthese same neighbors arenow helping them is notlost upon him.

“What goes around,comes around,” he said.

Eileen said many com-munities are known fortheir historical land-marks. In Fairfax, shesaid it is the people whostand out.

“This community hasalways had neighborswho look out for eachother,” she said. “There isa closeness in the neigh-borhood.”

A townhouse develop-ment is moving forwardon Maple Avenue again.

Madeira City Councilapproved an ordinance tocreate the Maple Avenuetransitional overlay dis-trict, which will allowmultiple properties to bedeveloped into eighttownhouses by CamdenHomes.

“It allows them tobring in a different kindof development plan. Thedensity is eight units,which is the same as thereare now. There are two du-plexes and one four fam-ily. There are no new unitsbeing developed,” CityManager Tom Moellersaid.

Camden Homes will beturning 7032, 7030, 7026,7024 and 7012 Maple Ave-nue into eight luxurytownhouses. The town-houses will be no taller 35feet and about 2,000 to2,300 square feet, Cam-den Homes PresidentDutch Cambruzzi said.

“We see the market-place for this product.There are a lot of peoplewho have lived here for awhile and are getting old-er and are moving out ofMadeira because thereisn’t a place to live,” Cam-bruzzi said.

Council had previouslyapproved the ordinance,but brought it back after itrealized Maple Avenueresidents were not noti-fied correctly. Four Ma-ple Avenue residentsspoke during the publichearing Dec. 14.

“We all feel that wewould like to maintain theintegrity of our neighbor-hood. We feel like thehouses that are currentlythere are on small lots. Idon’t feel like Maple Ave-nue is right place for thatdevelopment” residentNatalie Luxton said.

Luxton expressed con-cerns about the size of thetownhouses in relation tothe lot sizes and the highvalue of the townhousesnot matching the rest ofthe neighborhood.

“I think the improve-ment is positive. You havepeople who are going tobuy this area that is adja-cent to a commercial areaand willing to take owner-ship. They are interestedin maintaining the proper-ty and making it nice,”Maple Avenue residentJulie Gugino said.

Maple Avenue resi-dent Jane Lach said shewas in favor of the new de-velopment because shehas lived across the streetfrom the properties andwatched them deteriorateover the years.

Vice Mayor Traci The-is made a motion to by-pass the second readingfor the ordinance and ap-prove it fully at the meet-ing.

“As chairman of the

Law and Safety Commit-tee, we did our due dili-gence. We did everythingcorrectly and I do feelthat it is a good, soundpiece of legislation,” shesaid.

The motion was ap-proved and the ordinancepassed with a vote of 7-0.Once Camden homes hasmore detailed plans theywill be reviewed by theMadeira Planning Com-

mission. Want to know more

The duplex at 7026 and 7024 Maple Avenue is one of the properties that will be turned into luxury townhouses by CamdenHomes.

Montgomery is plan-ning to rezone two piecesof property to encourageresidential developmentin the city.

The city is rezoning9876 Montgomery Road,the old Honda dealershipsite, from commercial tomulti-family residential.Twin Lakes Senior LivingCommunity is planning touse the land for its plannedexpansion.

Twin Lakes is adding 45independent-living apart-ments, a casual diningvenue, a community cen-ter, a retail developmentand a new building withabout 40 to 56 memory-support assisted living ac-commodations as part ofits $52 million planned ex-pansion.

“I’m very encouragedby the plans we are start-ing to see and the entire di-rection you are going. Ithink it is going to be veryinteresting and very posi-tive for Montgomery,”Councilman Ken Seursaid.

Community Develop-ment Director Tracy Ro-blero said the city is usual-ly against changing Mont-gomery Road propertiesfrom commercial uses,but the property is smalland does not have frontageon Montgomery Road.

“Having (Twin Lakes)in our community is a won-derful thing and the factthat you are expanding theway you are, taking downsome buildings that havepassed their useful life is awonderful thing,” MayorChris Dobrozsi said.

The city is also rezon-

ing 9941 Orchard ClubDrive, the old Montgome-ry Swim and Tennis Clubsite, to single-family resi-dential.

Camden Homes is plan-

ning to build aneighborhood of 29 luxurysingle-family homes onthe property.

Despite hearing nu-merous concerns fromresidents about the densi-ty of the development andincreased traffic on Or-chard Club Drive, theMontgomery PlanningCommission approved theplans in October.

One resident spoke atthe meeting, also about thedensity of the project andproblems with the smallthan usual buffer andtrees being eliminated.

Days before its 40thanniversary celebration,the owners and others atThe Book Shelf in Madei-ra were busy loading box-es of books into cars.

“They are all headingout to a book fair,” part-owner Besty Schram said.

Other part-owners Jac-que Gentile and JennyMargo weaved throughdisplays of books and cus-tomers out to the front ofCamargo Station. Fourthpart-owner Chris Weberwas at the counter, listingoff book suggestions for acustomer.

The bookstore openedin 1975 by Anne Harrison,Blair Garvey and Gen. Ro-senkrantz and is an origi-nal tenant of CamargoStation, 7754 CamargoRoad.

The store’s 40th anni-versary celebration Sat-urday, Oct. 24, had five lo-cal authors signing theirlatest publications at thestore. The authors includ-ed children’s author andillustrator Will Hillen-brand, children’s authorLouise Borden, authorShannon Carter, novelistLeah Stewart and photog-rapher and author KenWilliamson.

“I was a photographerin Vietnam in 1969 withthe Army Engineers and Itraveled the entire coun-try of South Vietnam forthem and documentingwhat every engineer wasdoing. And I had a tremen-dous collection of photo-graphs from that timethat I didn’t do for the mil-itary of the country and

the people I met,” Wil-liamson said.

Williamson, of Amber-ley Village, saved all thephotos and discovered hiswife had saved all theirletters. He put them to-gether for his book. Wil-liamson said he stoppedby The Book Shelf shortlyafter he self-published“Saying Goodbye to Viet-nam” and they agreed tohandle it.

In addition to support-ing local authors, TheBook Shelf works withMadeira City Schools, In-dian Hill Exempted Vil-lage Schools, SycamoreCommunity Schools andMariemont City Schoolsfor book fairs, authorevents and reading

events, Schram said. Thestore also offers 15 per-cent off for teachers.

The Book Shelf has had17 owners since 1975.Schram said when anowner wants to retire,they sell their share tosomeone else. Schramhad been a parent volun-teer at the book fairs be-fore she was asked to bean owner. Gentile hadbeen a teacher in Madeirafor 30 years and helped atthe store on holidays.Margo was a book clubmember and volunteer.

“At a soccer game,”Weber said when askedhow she got involved. We-ber, who was planning toget her master’s degree inlibrary science, was at

one of her eight children’ssoccer games when a for-mer owner mentioned shewas looking to sell hershare and she jumped atthe opportunity.

Weber said the storeand its continued successis about a love of books.The store delivers mer-chandise to home boundcustomers, locates out-of-print books, fills specialorders and offers freegift-wrap.

“When Barnes and No-ble closed about two yearsago, we started to see amuch broader clienteleand have enjoyed greaterdiversity,” Schram said.

She added the store hasalso expanded its toys andgames section since Ted’sToy Store closed inMarch.

The Book Shelf is openfrom 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon-days through Fridays, 10a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and1-5 p.m. Sundays. Pur-chases can also be madethrough the store’s web-site, www.cincybooksh-elf.com.

» Moeller Moms’ ClubChristmas in the City FashionShow and Holiday Boutique setanother sold out record thisyear.

An audience of 650 Moellermoms and friends packed theSharonville Convention Centerto kick off the Christmas sea-son with shopping, friends andfashion. Jeff Thomas fromQ102 WKRQ was the guest MCof the evening.

This is an evening forfriends to get together andhave fun. It is also a night tomake new friends and see awonderfully choreographedfashion show. For the pastseveral years, Brenda Elmore,mother of a future 2016 Moell-er graduate and owner of Lu-cid Studios in Milford, precise-ly choreographs each runwayperformance for the show.

Co-chairs Cindy Pilipovichand Lori Smith work yearround gearing up for this spec-tacular event.

“This is a ‘friend-raiser’more than a fundraiser,” saidLouise Hoelker, Director ofMoeller’s special events.“These two ladies work so hardat making sure everyone feelswelcome and that they areenjoying a great night out,from the volunteers to theguests – Lori and Cindy aremeticulous about every de-tail!”

A red carpet experiencegreets each guest as they showoff their evening fashion withthe trending hashtag #MOE-Fashion. More than 50 localvendors set up booths for shop-ping pleasures. Even Moellerstudents were in on the action.Unified for Uganda (a studentrun non-profit organization)were present selling theiritems to raise monies for theU4U Foundation.

Pilipovich, a Loveland resi-dent, has co-chaired the eventfor seven years. This year wasbittersweet for Cindy, as this isher last year leading the eventand her last with a currentstudent at Moeller. Cindy has a2013 graduate of Moeller andwill have a 2016 graduate.

“What I love most about thefashion show is that it is some-thing that includes everyone.All of the seniors are invited tomodel and every mom thatwould like to volunteer, has aplace. It encompasses theMoeller community themewhere all are welcome,” Pili-povich said.

Smith, a Symmes Townshipresident and mother to a 2015graduate of Moeller and acurrent freshman, will con-tinue to be an instrumentalleader in the Moeller Moms’

Club fashion show. Over thepast years of chairing theshow, both women devote timeand energy to ensure that life-long friendships were madeamong the Moeller Moms’ Clublargest event, very much likethe bonds of brotherhood thatare created within each class-room at Moeller.

“Someone once said that totruly appreciate something isakin to a prayer for it acknowl-edges the presence of good. Iam so grateful for the realgood that our Moms’ Club doesand I am always amazed athow the special relationshipbetween mother and son isevidenced so broadly in thisall-male school,” said BillHunt, president of MoellerHigh School.

The event was made pos-

sible by the generosity andtalents of Lucid Studios inMilford, Folchi’s, Huntington,Tide Dry Cleaners in Mason,Mitchell’s Salon & Day Spa andFresh Thyme.

» For the 22th year, Moellerstudents invited students fromCorryville Catholic Elemen-tary School to Moeller to cele-brate Christmas on Campus.The day began with an all-school Mass, followed bylunch.

On Christmas morning, he finds that hisparents have beenwriting down these acts of kindness, and placing the slips ofpaper in a SparkleBox. They explain that this Sparkle Box is abirthday gift for Jesus because when we show kindness to oth-ers, it is a gift to Jesus.

The students were given their own “sparkle boxes” and weretold to add their acts of kindness during the Advent season as abirthday gift to Jesus.

We always have family and friendsover for New Year’s Day.

This year I’m serving beef tender-loin. I know, I know, it’s expensive forsure, but it’s an elegant and easy entreefor a party. And when I think about it, itdoesn’t cost any more than if I wouldserve two other kinds of meat, as Isometimes do. Plus I can get it ready toroast ahead of time. And there’s nowrong way to serve it: warm from theoven, room temperature or even chilled,sliced on a bed of greens.

Like many of you, I can’t believe 2016 is justdays away. As I’ve said before, I appreciatecoming into your lives each week through thiscolumn. It’s a special and unique way to keepin touch.

There aren’t many columns like this onenow-a-days where reader involvement is notonly welcomed but an important part of shar-ing. So continue to do that as we begin anotheryear of exploring the wonderful world of foodtogether.

And it doesn’t matter what level of cooking

you’ve achieved or care to do. Today’scolumn is a great example: from gour-met beef tenderloin with a homemadeFrench herb blend to refrigerated bis-cuits gussied up with butter and cheese!

Readers want to knowRib and loin pork chops - what’s the

diff?Rib: have a bone running along one

side and a layer of fat on the outside.Tender with a mild flavor.

Loin: cut toward the center of the loin theywill have a T-shaped bone that has loin on oneside and tenderloin on the other. Very leanwith mild flavor.

Cook quickly: Brown on both sides overfairly high heat, then cover, finish cookingover very low heat.

Foolproof beef tenderloin with herbs

Leftovers make great beef sliders. I love to use the dried herbs Ihave from my herb garden.

Bring the meat out at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. It willroast more evenly.

Preheat oven to 400.

1 tenderloin, 2-1/2 to 3 pounds trimmedOlive oilFreshly ground black pepper and salt1 generous tablespoon garlic, mincedRub roast with olive oil, sprinkle & pat garlic all over and then

sprinkle black pepper and salt all around.Mix together:1/2 cup parsley, chopped1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence OR1 teaspoon dried tarragon1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, minced1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Roll beef in herb mixture to coat all over. Roast until thermom-eter registers 130-145 for medium rare to medium. This will takeabout 30-40 minutes or so for medium rare. You can always leave it inlonger if you like.

Remove from oven, tent and let stand 10 minutes or so to redis-tribute juices. Temperature will rise a bit, too.

Rita’s herbes de Provence

Blend together and store in cool, dry place away from light:

1/4 cup dried thyme leaves2 tablespoons dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon oregano1 tablespoon dried rosemary, minced1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, not powdered savory2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers1 teaspoon fennel seeds1 dried bay leaf, crumbled

Easy Parmesan biscuits

A friend of mine takes refrigerated biscuits to a higher level bydipping in butter and cheese.

1 tube buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)Melted butterParmesan cheese, about 1 cup

Preheat oven to 400. Dip both sides of biscuits into butter, theninto cheese. Place 1 inch apart on sprayed baking pan. Bake until gold-en, about 8-10 minutes

Show your ‘tender’side for New Year’s

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

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

A publication of

In a recent op-ed, “When dowe apply the title ‘terrorist?’”Bruce Healey implies that weare quick to call it “terror-ism” when the act is perpe-trated by a Muslim, but nototherwise. I think it’s just thereverse. Yes, the media mayuse the word “terrorism,” butthey avoid exploring the un-derlying ideology when itmight relate to radical Islam.

This is exactly what hap-pened after the recent massshooting in San Bernardino.The attack prompted the NewYork Times to publish theirfirst front-page editorial inalmost 100 years. Did theywant to explore a possibleconnection to an ideology –since the perpetrators al-ready had been identified?

No, the NYTgot that ideaout of the wayin the firstparagraph,and then usedthe rest of thepiece to beatthe drum forgun control.

Democratsin the U.S.Senate also

used the occasion to bring twogun-control measures to avote. Other explanations werecontrived. Juan Cole, a histo-ry professor who blogs on theMiddle East, said of the at-tack, “It seems clear that thiswas workplace violencelinked to some sort of griev-ance.” So, perhaps Farook

was bullied at work, and thatexplains why he and his wifekilled all his co-workers attheir Christmas party?

Mr. Healey also mentionedthe attacks in Charleston,South Carolina, in June, andon a Planned Parenthood clin-ic in Colorado two weeks ago.He points out that “both at-tacks were of extremist ideol-ogies that we must revile andrepudiate.” Maybe so, butthat’s not to say that any ide-ology taken to an extremeresults in violence or hatred –it depends on which partic-ular ideology is playing out.

As for the shooting in Colo-rado Springs, I’m not surewhat motivates a man toshoot-up a Planned Parent-hood clinic, but it certainly

wasn’t Christian faith or ide-ology.

In Charleston in June, theshooter killed nine peopleincluding the senior pastor.Did we see any ideology takento an extreme in that inci-dent? Yes, we did. The vic-tims’ families displayed theirChristian ideology to an ex-treme when they each for-gave the shooter at his bailhearing.

Think of how hard it wouldbe to forgive in that setting.This was not cultural, or so-ciological or political. It wasabout modeling the actions ofa very tolerant man who wasable to say, “Forgive them, forthey know not what they do,”as he was being put to deathin a very painful and humiliat-

ing way. This forgiveness ofthe families in Charlestoninspired South Carolina’sgovernor to remove the Con-federate flag from the statecapitol. This was the power offorgiveness, leading to recon-ciliation. Those nine familiesought to be candidates for theNobel Peace Prize.

So, ideologies are not allcreated equal, and it’s worthconsidering the differences.Different ideologies can leadto extremely different out-comes.

Kenneth Koster is a resi-dent of Indian Hill. He is aphysician who has practicedemergency medicine for thepast 30 years. He and his wifehave three children.

Is it ‘terrorism’ or different ideologies?

Christmas is said to be aseason of magic. Describe amoment of Christmas or holi-day magic in your life.

“My car broke down onChristmas Eve; that’s my mir-acle.

“It was 1994. At the time, Iwas an outside salesman for alocal industrial supply dis-tributor. We were open until 3p.m. Christmas Eve. Everyonewas in the office for the Christ-

mas luncheon, but no one want-ed to be there, especially me. Iwas going to go straight fromthe office in Winton Place tomy home in Anderson, loadingup the Taurus wagon withChristmas gifts, the wife, andtwo daughters, ages 4 and 1.We would first be going to my

sister’s house for my family’sChristmas celebration, andthen leaving for Dayton, tospend the night and Christmasday at my wife’s parents’ homefor celebration Np. 2.

“At 2:45 p.m., a walk-in ‘willcall’ customer shows up:there’s always someone whohas a holiday emergency. Notmy concern though, I’m get-ting out of there. I got a lottraveling to do in the next eighthours. As I pull out on to Win-ton Road my car stops! Theengine is running, but I can’tgo forward or back. Upon in-spection, the right front wheelis 90 degrees to the right whilethe left wheel is pointedstraight; a problem. Everyonefrom the office, including the‘will call’ customer comes outto help. I kick the right wheelinto alignment and we push thecar back into the parking lot.

We’re all standing there look-ing at the broken car. A fellowsalesman who also lives inAnderson, volunteers to driveme home, but my mind is rac-ing: ‘What am I going to do?There’s no time to fix this situ-ation!”

I thank Joe for his offer, buttell him that getting home isthe least of my worries. Atthat, the ‘walk-in’ customersteps up and says, ‘I’m theservice manager at WoodySander Ford. I can get a tow-truck to get your car, and I’llset you up with a loaner car.’You cannot imagine my joy anddisbelief.

“Joe gave me a ride toWoody Sander Ford (1-1/2miles). The service managergot me outfitted into a smallstation wagon, and I was on myway home to load up the carwith family and gifts.

“I thanked God for the ser-vice manager being at theexact right place at the exactright time. Later, as we weretraveling, the whole picture ofthe miracle came into focus. Ifmy car’s tie rod had not brokenin front of the office, but in-stead on the highway at 60mph...The vision of Christmaspresents strewnvacross thehighway, a mangled car, anduntold carnage on my youngfamily came into view in mymind’s eye. Our 1-year-olddaughter at the time, has justgraduated from UC. It mightnever have been.

“Someone was looking outfor me and my family on thatChristmas Eve. Thank you,Lord!

“Kudos to Woody SanderFord and the service man-ager!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTION(Since no one really had time toanswer last week’s question, weare asking it again):Looking to 2016, if you cangrant one wish for your commu-nity, what would it be?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

Our senators and repre-sentatives are individuallybankrupting the United States.They do so by the decisionsthey make, each time they passa law, or refuse to correct thelaw.

These are laws that few ofus know about, ever read, orwill ever benefit from. Theyare not passed for our benefit.They are drafted and signed tobenefit the 1 percent who con-trol our legislators throughtheir campaign contributionsand other means of influence.

Lobbyists influence con-gress. Each and every lobbyistrepresents a cause, or numberof causes. It is doubtful thatyou could ever find a personalbenefit from their activities.The special interests theyrepresent are asking for legis-lation that will allow their re-spective companies to be moreprofitable, by paying less intaxes, or by special legislationthat will allow price protection.

This influence can be in theform of special law, money,power or entertainment. Thisinfluence includes the matingof legislators and corporationswho can have a financial im-pact on a legislator’s futurelife, in or out of politics. They

with people who may be politi-cally influential.

Our representation is totallycorrupt. They are the thieveswho steal from our economy,and who make it possible forothers to steal from our econo-my by legalizing the theft. Anexample of this is the Medi-care Part D drug program.

Republicans, who claim tobe enamored of free-markets,little regulation, and a lack ofgovernment intrusion in ourdaily lives, passed a law mak-ing it illegal for Medicare tonegotiate drug prices withdrug manufacturers.

This is a direct theft frommy family and me. It is a directtheft that is calculable in finitedollars over time. We canprove this is theft, as other

government agencies, such asthe VA, DLA and each militaryagency, pay far less, for asmaller amount of drugs, thando we. These costs are publicinformation, for each contract.

Foreign governments, suchas Mexico and Canada, buydrugs at costs far less than canthe sick and elderly in theUnited States. They can do thisbecause they negotiate drugprices. I have published exactnumbers, in this newspaper,proving that purchases fromCanada can cost less than theco-pay for my Medicare Part Dpolicy. That’s ridiculous.

What are you, Sen. Portmanand Rep. Chabot, doing to cor-rect this inequity? Neither ofyou may have signed the origi-nal bill, however, you havebeen advised many times ofthis situation and, to ourknowledge, are doing nothingto correct it.

Our Congress has recentlypassed legislation allowing thepostal service to confiscateforeign drug purchases bycitizens; further proof of thegovernment’s intent to protectindustry by stealing our mon-ey.

As the aging processcauses the skin to grow thinand lose its elasticity, dry skinbecomes a common winter-time complaint for manyolder adults.

Xerosis is a persistentitchiness caused by dry skin.

Seborrhea dermatitis is acondition marked by scaly,red patches of skin that oftenaffects the scalp, eyebrows,nose and chest. The cause isunknown, but it tends to wors-en during cold months. Trythese skin care tips beforeyou resign yourself to livingwith the discomfort:

» Moisturize, moisturize,moisturize: Lotion is an effec-tive barrier to help retainmoisture. Avoid scented lo-tions or ointments. They canirritate and actually makeskin problems worse. Look formoisturizing products thatare hypo-allergenic or formu-lated for sensitive skin.

When shopping for lotions,turn the bottle upside down. Ifthe lotion sticks, it’s a goodchoice for winter skin care.Creams and ointments offerbetter coverage than a tradi-tional body lotion.

Apply petroleum jelly totough spots like elbows, kneesand heels. If your hands areextra dry, rub the jelly onbefore bed, then cover themwith socks or gloves.

» Drink plenty of water:

Dry skin can be a sign ofdehydration. If you are notdrinking enough water, yourbrain will withhold moisturefrom the skin to supply themore critical organs.

» Avoid hot water: Hotshowers and baths zap themoisture from your skin.Stick with lukewarm water asmuch as possible, especiallywhen washing your hands. Ifyou need to take a hot showeror bath, minimize your bath-ing time and moisturize im-mediately afterwards.

» Humidify the air: Addinga humidifier to your homeincreases the moisture in theair to help fight dry skin natu-rally. However, dirty humidi-fiers can introduce bacteriaand fungus into the air thatcan make you sick.

» Dress wisely: Wool canbe an irritating fabric, so ifyour hands are dry, stick withlinen or cotton gloves. Alsoconsider wearing cotton un-dergarments as a protectivebarrier against itchy sweatersand pants.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

ProKids, the localagency which focuses ongiving a voice to chil-dren in the HamiltonCounty child protectionsystem, recently recog-nized Wendy McCrackenof Indian Hill as an Ad-vocate of the Year.

McCracken is a Pro-Kids Court AppointedSpecial Advocates, orCASA volunteer, trainedand supported by Pro-Kids to advocate inHamilton County Juve-nile Court on behalf ofchildren who, throughno fault of their own, areremoved from theirfamilies. CASA volun-teers work with familymembers, foster fam-ilies, county social work-ers, school profession-als, health care provid-ers, therapists and oth-ers to determine the bestinterest of the childrenthey serve. CASA volun-

teers help find safe,permanent and nurtur-ing homes for the indi-vidual children theywork with and break thevicious cycle of childabuse and neglect.

ProKids Board Presi-dent Tom Cuni said Pro-Kids volunteers likethese three women “pro-

duce miracles. Childrenwho were in danger arenow safe. Children whowere not stable, nowhave forever families.”

McCracken said thatat ProKids, she canmake a difference forthe children she is con-nected with because ofthe support she receivesthrough training andongoing support fromthe ProKids staff.

“It takes a team,” shesaid, to advocate forchildren like the youngman she continues towork with after eightfoster care placementsand five schools.

Executive DirectorTracy Cook noted thatthe work of ProKidsCASA volunteers can bedifficult “in the face ofthe trauma these chil-dren have suffered andthe uncertainty of theirfutures.”

“And all of this occursin an extraordinarilyoverburdened systemthat’s also under-re-sourced,” she said. “Butwhat I also know is theimportance of a CASAvolunteer being thereevery single day. Youchange the arc of ourchildren’s lives, theirchildren’s lives andleave a legacy for ourentire community.”

Give Christmas tree new life as compost

Many people understandthose who use their personalvehicle to deliver pizzas needto buy special business insur-ance to protect them shouldthey get into an accident whileon the job.’

But, drivers may not real-ize that requirement appliesto a lot of others as well.

Don Hunt, of Mount Orab,works for a lumber companythat sends him to various jobsites to do inspections. Heuses his own vehicle to get tothe sites. Earlier this year heran off the road and wreckedhis truck while going to one ofhis inspections.

Hunt’s wife Dee says, “Heeither hit a slick patch or hy-droplaned or something onI-275 and he bounced fromwall to wall and landed rightin the center of I-275.”

Hunt filed a claim for thisone-vehicle accident, but hisinsurance company wouldn’t

pay. It said theloss was notcovered be-cause it in-volved, “Imper-missible busi-ness, commer-cial oremploymentuse.” A closelook at the pol-icy says his

vehicle cannot be used duringthe course of any business.

Hunt says he has to use hisown vehicle because his com-pany won’t provide one. Deesays this came as quite a sur-prise to them because therewere no company signs on theside of his truck indicating itwas being used as a commer-cial vehicle.

While she had the insur-ance adjuster on the phoneshe says she decided to askabout her own situation. Deesays she asked, “If I was to

leave my Milford officeand go to an office in Eastgatewould I be covered from of-fice to office? He said, ‘No.’”

Hunt’s insurance companyissued a statement to the OhioDepartment of Insurancesaying the claim was deniedfor three reasons: because thevehicle was usually used tovisit three job sites per day,because he transported toolsin his truck, and because hisemployer provided him a gascard to use for filling up thetruck.

Bottom line, if you ever useyour vehicle – even if its justto go from one office to anoth-er – you should talk with yourinsurance agent to see if youtoo need to add that specialbusiness rider to your policy.
