What it would do: Levy funds would generate about $3.16 million per year for township police and fire ser- vices. It would allow the town- ship to add a seventh police beat to strengthen its borders with neighboring communi- ties and give the fire depart- ment the ability to phase in the addition of a second fire and EMS crew at the Dent fire sta- tion on Harrison Avenue. How things are now: Green Township has a1.9-mill, five-year safety services levy on the books, which was re- newed in 2013 and costs resi- dents $56 per year for every $100,000 of home market val- ue. Issue 31, if approved, au- thorizes a new, additional levy. The 2.95-mill levy would be continuous and would not require renewals. How much it will cost: The 2.95-mill levy is estimated to cost the owner of a home worth $100,000 an additional $103 annually. Argument for: The town- ship has lost roughly $3.4 mil- lion in annual revenue due to state funding cuts, while at the same time calls for police and fire services have increased. The number of police officers and fire personnel per resi- dent in Green Township is the lowest in Southwest Ohio, as is the township’s total spending per citizen. Argument against: There is no organized opposition to the levy, but a new levy would increase taxes for residents and property owners. Who’s for it: The Green Township Financial Review Committee recommended the board of trustees seek the levy.

Issue 31: Green Township safety services levy A group of businesses have hired a Columbus firm to help them fight a proposed payroll tax and Colerain Township of- ficials say Rumpke is behind the opposition. Rumpke admits it’s a leader for the opposition, saying it’s happy to provide leadership in the fight against Issue 30, the formation of a Joint Economic Development Zone and the 1 percent payroll tax it will gen- erate. Strategic Public Partners, a Columbus firm that handles public affairs, public relations and strategic planning, an- nounced the launch of what it called a “grassroots coalition” opposed to the JEDZ Monday. Colerain Township Trustee Dennis Deters says he believes Rumpke is spearheading the anti-JEDZ initiative in an at- tempt to force the township to allow the landfill to expand. Amanda Pratt, director of corporate communications for Rumpke, acknowledges that Rumpke was contacted by a group involved in defeating JEDZ campaigns across the state. “We felt it was vital to add our leadership to the coalition and join the debate,” she said. “We have also contributed funding to the campaign.” Pratt says Rumpke opposes the JEDZ because it affects its employees, who will pay the tax if they are not Colerain Township residents. “We think this will negativ- ely affect our employees, who are the backbone of our organi- zation, and we don’t believe this is good for the communi- ty,” she said. “Funding could have been obtained without using a loop- hole tax that makes Colerain Township less attractive to businesses, decreases local spending and creates job loss,” Pratt said. “The township did have other options. Instead of stimulating continued growth for Colerain Township, the JEDZ stunts it.” Colerain Citizens Against Unfair Taxes is registered with the board of elections as a bal- lot issue PAC. Its treasurer, James Singler, referred ques- tions to Leah Pappas Porner, Columbus attorney with Cal- fee, Halter and Griswold. Porner has worked as a lob- byist for Rumpke since 2009. From May to August, she advo- cated for the firm on HB 289 regarding joint economic de- velopment zones/districts – re- visions; HB 358, a moratorium on joint economic develop- ment zones and districts and HB 492, regarding the levying and administration of taxes, according to an activity and ex- penses report filed Sept. 18 with the Office of the Legisla- tive Inspector General’s Joint Legislative Ethics Committee. Deters says he has no doubt that the group running the anti- JEDZ campaign is politically savvy. He says township resi- dents have already received telephone push polls, which are polls taken for the purpose of providing information on an opponent or issue that would lead respondents to vote against that candidate or issue, and mailers opposing the issue. “This is a grassroots coali- tion?” Deters asked. “Its trea- surer lives in Mason, its mail- ing address is downtown and its spokesperson is in Colum- bus,” he said. “I believe this group, Colerain Citizens Against Unfair Taxes is creat- ed and supported by Rumpke to put a stranglehold on our re- sources in an attempt to force us to a settlement.” Rumpke and Colerain Town- ship are in a court battle over the landfill’s expansion. Trust- ees voted not to accept a pro- posed settlement in August. In addition to Rumpke, busi- nesses in the coalition against the JEDZ include Colerain Bowl, Hart & Gersbach Inc., Stehlin’s Meat Market, Geraci Fine Jewelry, Shelby Chiro- practic, Kay’s Wigs, Accutech Sign Shop, Greater Cincinnati Dental Labs, A Sweet Life, Ac- cident Care & Wellness Center, Sweet Heart Café, MWH Ser- vices, FASTSIGNS, Klei Mow- ers and Minuteman Press Col- erain. The proposed JEDZ stretch- es from Struble Road south to Galbraith Road. Workers in all businesses within the JEDZ would pay a 1 percent tax on in- come earned by individuals and businesses would pay 1 percent of net profits from business operations within the zone. All of the net business profits and any payroll taxes paid by Colerain Township res- idents who work in the zone will be returned via a grant. The anti-JEDZ group says the township’s plan will hurt businesses and could drive away jobs and new develop- ment. The group also com- plains that trustees did not in- clude the government complex on Springdale Road in the zone, so Colerain Township employ- ees will not have to pay the tax. Township officials said the township complex was not in- cluded because it is not contig- uous to the zone along Colerain Avenue and the law is strin- gent as to how the zone is drawn. Tom Hart, owner of Hart & Gersbach Inc. in Colerain Township, says the tax is inef- ficient, since 8.5 percent goes to the city of Harrison, which would collect the tax. He says the businesses and employees will have to worry about with- holding and remitting taxes, filing returns and dealing with grant applications. “The last thing we want to do is encourage businesses to choose to open or relocate to another township,” Hart said. “The revenue and job loss would create another financial blow to our community.” Township officials said the law requires townships part- ner with cities to collect the payroll tax. Jim Rowan, Cole- rain Township administrator, says the JEDZ plan allows the township to address infra- structure needs in the zone and in the area that supports the zone. “Infrastructure is a core re- sponsibility of the township, and this JEDZ will help us to address that,” he said. Deters says he finds it inter- esting that Rumpke is part of the group claiming the tax will drive away jobs and new devel- opment, and yet the firm re- built a $32 million, 100,000- square-foot recycling facility in St. Bernard, a city where there is a 2 percent income tax. “The tax didn’t affect their decision to build there, did it?” he asked. “What about those employees?” Rumpke leads group fighting JEDZ FILE This portion of Colerain Avenue would be part of the proposed Joint Economic Development Zone on the November ballot.

What it’s about: Thisis a request for the ap-proval of a Joint Econom-icDevelopment Zone con-tract between ColerainTownship and the city of

Harrison and the estab-lishment of a payroll taxfor workers within thezone.

What itwoulddo:Thecontract allows Harrison

to collect a 1 percent pay-roll tax on behalf of Cole-rain Township in the zone,which includes business-es along Colerain Avenuefrom Struble Road southtoWestGalbraith Road. Itwill generateabout$1mil-lion annually to be usedfor road and infrastruc-ture repair and economicdevelopment. Residentsof Colerain Township willreceive 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-nessesnetprofitswill alsobewithheld, and returnedviagrantsat theendof theyear.

Howmuch itwill cost:1 percent of the employ-ees’ gross wages will bewithheld. If the employeeis a Colerain Townshipresident, the amount willbe given back to the resi-dent in the form of agrant.

Argument for: Themoney raised by the taxcanhelppay for repairs toinfrastructure at no costto township residents.The township has limitedways to raise revenue andthis will not raise proper-ty taxes 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 theend of the year.

GREEN TWP. — MackFire Inc. has once againcome to the aid of GreenTownship Fire & EMS.

The nonprofit commu-nity group, an outgrowthof the oldMackVolunteerFire Department whichprovided emergency andfire services to the town-ship from1944 to 1983, re-cently donated $8,700worth of equipment to theGreen Township fire de-partment.

The Green TownshipBoard of Trustees recog-nizedMackFiremembersat its meeting Sept. 22,thanking the organizationfor fulfilling the fire de-partment’s 2014 wish list.

GreenTownshipFire&EMS Chief Douglas Wit-sken said members of thevolunteer department es-tablished Mack Fire Inc.in 1984 after the township

took overfire andemergen-cy opera-tions.

“Sincethen the or-ganizationhas dedi-cated itself

to supporting not only thecommunity, but the firedepartment in particu-lar,” he said. “Each yearthey have a fundraisingraffle and the proceedsfrom that allow the or-ganization to donate to thefire department.”

The fire departmentsubmits a wish list toMack Fire each year forequipment or items thetownship otherwise can’tafford, and Witsken saidthis year the departmentasked for two modern hy-draulic rescue tools, com-monly referred to as the“jaws of life.” He said thetools were needed at theDent fire stationonHarri-son Avenue.

“This stationonlyhadasmall combination tool,”he said. “It cut a little, itspreada little, but it didn’thave near the capabilitiesthe full-size rescue toolsdo.”

Frank Hoh, presidentofMackFire Inc., said the

group is happy to help thefire department eachyear and he thanked or-ganization members forassisting with the raffleand fundraisers.

“Of course, we alsothank the Green Town-ship residents for donat-ing,” he said.

Witsken said in addi-tion to the annualwish listcontribution, the groupalso funds the depart-ment’s EMS bike team,the department’s honorguard, the arson K-9 andthecommunityCPRtrain-ing program. Mack Firealso purchased a specialoperations trailer for thedepartment several yearsago and donated the landon Audro Drive for thetownship to build theMonfort Heights fire sta-tion, he said. Since 1984,he said the organizationhasdonated over $300,000to the department.

“That’s tremendousgenerosity from MackFire Inc. to Green Town-ship and the departmentof fire andEMS,”Witskensaid. “That total doesn’tinclude the CPR trainingprogram, the arson dog orthe honor guard.”

Trustee Chairman To-ny Rosiello said he re-members growing up onEpley Road and hearingthe sirens go off callingthe volunteer firefightersto action.

“I would hop on mybike and ridedownSilver-point ... so I could watchthe volunteers show up intheir cars and the firetrucks pull out,” he said,addressing Mack Firemembers in attendance.

“You are still continu-ing to serveourcommuni-ty. We are so grateful foreverything you’ve done.”

COLLEGECORNER

PRICE HILL — A Rwandangenocide survivor is returningto theWest Side to share her in-spirational story of faith andforgiveness with area highschool students.

Immaculée Ilibagiza, a be-stselling author and world-re-nowned speaker who survivedthe genocide in Rwanda, willspeak to students from Seton,McAuley and Mercy highschools during an Oct. 19 eventat Seton.

She previously visited SetoninFebruary2012 to speak to stu-dents at a school assembly. Se-ton students and faculty readher book, “Left to Tell,” earlierthat school year and learnedabout the Rwandan genocide.

Mary Beth Corey, a Spanishteacher at Seton who helped co-ordinate Ilibagiza’s visits in2012 and this time around, saidwhen the death of the Hutupresident in Rwanda sparked athree-month slaughter of morethan 1 million Tutsi tribe mem-bers in1994, Immaculée hid in a3-foot-by-4-foot bathroom withseven other women for 91 days.She survived and told her storyof courage and transition intoforgiveness in her book, Coreysaid.

“One of the four pillars of Se-ton High School is faith,” shesaid. “Immaculée embodieswhat we want all of our youngwomen to strive to become.”

Seton invited Mercy andMcAuley high schools to partic-ipate and collaborate in plan-ning Ilibagiza’s upcomingspeech because students andstaff at Mercy and McAuleyread “Left to Tell” as part oftheir One Book, One Communi-ty program this summer.

“In a sign of Christian soli-darity and fellowship, Setonwanted to embracewhat Imma-culée teaches and make sure

students at these schools wouldbe able to share in this opportu-nity to hear such a powerfulspeaker,” Corey said.

Students from all threeschools will participate in amorningMass and then listen toIlibagiza’s presentation.

McAuley Principal Dan Mi-nelli and Mercy spokeswomanEllen Daniel both said their

schools have incorporatedthemes from Ilibagiza’s bookinto coursework and servicesprojects throughout the schoolyear.

“Mercy is thrilled with theopportunity to hear ImmaculéeIlibagiza’s story in person in or-der to further enrich what is al-ready a powerful and emotionalstory,” Daniel said.

Minelli added, “Because wehave integrated this book sodeeply into our curriculum, andgiven the significance thatprayerhadon Immaculée, it is aonce-in-a-lifetime opportunityfor our students, faculty andstaff to hear her speak in per-son.”

He said McAuley facultymembers hope their studentswill be empowered to embracethe power of prayer in theirlives, and to realize the impor-tance of God, forgiveness andunconditional love, even duringthe most difficult and tryingtimes in their lives.

Ilibagiza is a model of thestrength of God’s faithfulnessand the power of prayer, Danielsaid, and Mercy hopes her talkshows students how God worksin their livesand that trusting inGod’s faithfulness is the surestway to make it through toughtimes.

“She relinquished controland relied solely on God in or-der to survive horrific pain –bothphysical andmental,”Dan-iel said. “Although she sufferedtremendous loss, Immaculéeemerged with greater strengthand confidence and now usesthatexperiencetochampionthework God did in her life.”

Seton senior Brooke Zent-meyer, a Delhi Township teenwho heard Ilibagiza speak in2012, said she was shocked bythe brutal atrocities “Left toTell” depicts when she read ither freshman year.

“What impacted me mostabout Immaculée’s story wasthe resilience and faith she dis-played throughout such a horri-fying experience,” Zentmeyersaid.

“Immaculée’s words in ‘LefttoTell’werepowerful, but hear-ing her voice and seeing herface as she described her jour-ney gave us a truly unique in-sight into the life of a womanwho had experienced pain be-

yond imagination, and emergedstronger.”

She said Ilibagiza’s story hasmade her eternally grateful forthe life with which she’s beenblessed and taught her to cher-ish every day with her lovedones.

She looksto thegenocidesur-vivor as a feminine role modelfor her faith, fortitude and com-mitment to education, and shesaid Ilibagiza imparted on her adeeper commitment to her ownfaith.

“The strength Immaculéedisplayed as a young womanalso has encouraged me to be astronger woman dedicated tolifting up my sisters in theirtimes of need, just as Immacu-lée did for the women whoshared a traumatic experiencewith her,” Zentmeyer said.

Shesaidshe’sexcitedIlibagi-za is returning to Seton andshe’s glad she will be speakingto a broader audience this time.

“I am anxious to see how Im-maculée’s presence will impactthe girls and staff ofMercy andMcAuley since this will be theirfirst time experiencing her in-credible kindness and couragein person,” she said.

Corey said the most impor-tant take away for students willlikely be Ilibagiza’s message offorgiveness.

“Hearing from Immaculéeabout her ability to forgivethosewhomurdered her familyand the peace that camewith it,we hope students will realizethe importance of forgivenessandthemeaningofuncondition-al loveandunderstanding inhermessage,” she said.

“Another hope is that stu-dents gain some perspective ontheir ownproblems.After hear-ing firsthand from Immaculéewhat she endured during thegenocide, our hope is that theygain an appreciation of how tru-ly blessed they are.”

COLERAIN TWP. — The Cole-rainHighSchool girls golf teamtook amajor step in the right di-rection in 2014, and raised thebar on expectations for 2015.The Cardinals posted a10-5 rec-ord, the program’s best in fouryears.The teamfinishedfifth inthe GreaterMiami Conference,its best league finish since 2007.

“I knewwehad the potential,but since we had young playersand two newcomers, I didn’tknow exactly what to expectfrom them,” said head coachSteve Tapogna.

Depth became the decidingfactor for the Cardinals, espe-cially in their dual matches.From number one to numberseven, the Cardinals lineup wasseparated by only an average ofabout four strokes. From lowscorers Marissa Dillon andHope Wilcox to Lillie Hughettand Devon Hensler, Colerainlacked a star player but haddepth and consistency tomatchany opponent.

“They all had the opportuni-ty everymatch to shootwithin acouple strokes from one anoth-er,” said Tapogna. “You neverknewwhomightstepforwardinany given match.”

Four different Cardinalsearned medals in matches thisseason. Hensler is the squad’slone senior. Two juniors andfour sophomores will returnnext season.

“Thegirls are really optimis-tic about next year,” saidTapog-na. “It all depends on the effortthey are willing to put forwardin the offseason, but the poten-tial is there to have a very goodseason.”

The team tied for eighth atthe sectional tournament atWalden Ponds Golf Club with ascore of 385, then defeated Se-tonbysevenstrokes inaplayofffor eighth place.

Colerain’s boys were led byseniorsHenryWesselsandAus-tin Powers, who each averageda score of 42 this season.

Powers narrowly missedqualifying for the district tour-nament in heartbreaking fash-ion.He shot an 83 at the section-al tournament, good for fourthplace among individuals whoseteam did not qualify for dis-tricts.

Unfortunately, he was one ofthree individuals to shoot an 83,and lost a spot in the district in athree-way playoff. Cardinalssophomore Nathan Lorenz alsojust missed the cut, shooting an84 at the sectional tournament.

With the graduation of Wes-sels and Powers, Lorenz and hisclassmates Jacob Wells andMatthew Laskey will be count-ed on to lead the Cardinals pro-gram next season. The teamplaced sixth at the sectionalwith a score of 344, 20 strokesaway from qualifying for thedistrict tournament.

“They know they have atarget on their backs,” Carlot-ta said. “I tell them to respectevery team, whichmeans youplay your hardest.”

Carlotta emphasized theSpartans have found theirsuccess by being “scrappy”and never giving up. They’realso not very tall. But, whatthey lack in size, they morethan make up for in experi-ence and effort.

“We’re never gonna be thebiggest team,” said Carlotta.“But, you can never go wrongwith giving 100 percent andcontinuallykeeping theball inplay.”

The McAuley golf pro-gram was coming off of adisappointing season. TheMohawks graduated theirtwo best players from2013, a season in whichtheir low scorer averageda 52. Expectations werenot very high coming in tothe 2014 season. Expecta-tions for 2015 will bemuch, much higher.

McAuley posted a 13-7record a year after finish-ingwith just sixwins to14losses.After back-to-backseasons in the GirlsGreater Catholic Leaguebasement, the Mohawksclimbed to fourth in theleague. They notchedwins over Seton and top-ten-ranked Mount NotreDame.

TheMohawkswere ledby freshman Hallie Hei-demann, who averaged ascore of 42.6 to lead theteam. Itwas the sixth low-

est average in the GGCLand the lowest average byaMcAuley freshman in atleast 17 years.

“She has been a delightto coach,” said longtimeMcAuley head coach Er-nie Petri. “She playedsteady right from the be-ginning.”

Heidemann qualifiedfor the district tourna-mentbypostingan18-holescoreof85at thesectionaltournament at WaldenPondsGolfClub.Thatwasgoodfor13thplaceoveralland the fourth-lowestscore of a player from ateam that did not finish inthe top four. The Mo-hawks placed sixth out of14 teams at the sectionaltournament. That was re-flective of the total teameffort that helped revital-ize the program in 2014.

“Haillie Heidemanncould not have accom-plished our fine season of13 and 7 on her own,” saidPetri.

Sophomores HayleyQuatman and LaurenHumpert, junior EmmaSchrand, and seniors Oli-via Masuck and SarahCampbell all played rolesin returning theMohawksto a winning season. Theteam’s four lowest scor-ers will all return nextseasonaftermakinggreatstrides in 2014.

“The younger kidsstarted playingbetter andreally started jelling inthe second half of the sea-son,” said Petri. “Theygained confidence as theystarted getting betterscores and medaling.That made for good teamunity.”

On a cold and wetThursday at WeatherwaxGolf Course, Heidemann,whose mother is inductedin the McAuley athletichall of fame, shot a 93 inher first district tourna-ment appearance. Itwas asatisfactory finish to animpressive debut season

that included a strong fin-ish in theconference tour-nament.

“Shooting an 83 atWeatherwax at the GGCLtourney seemed to igniteher,” said Petri.

After shootingacollec-tive 378 at the sectionaltournament, the Mo-hawks have confidenceknowing that theywere24strokes away from quali-fyingasa teamfor thedis-trict tournament. Heide-mann is only going to getstronger heading into hersophomore season. Nextyear, the Mohawks planon accompanying her tothe district tourney as ateam. This marked thesecond straight seasonthatMcAuley failed to ad-vance as a team, afterqualifying for districtsfor seven straight sea-sons.

“Our expectations areto get back to the districttournament as a team,”said Petri.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Some players thrive onthe big stage, when thelights are brightest. EnterBen Glines.

The St. Xavier seniorrunning back’s season hasbeen anything but easy.That’s expectedwhen youplay in theGreater Catho-lic League South.

In week one (a 35-20win over East St. Louis),Glines, who finished with126 yards and three TDs,suffered a high anklesprain. It’s a nagging inju-ry, especially for a run-ning back, and it ham-pered him.

According to St. Xcoach Steve Specht, theankle bothered Ben untiltheOct. 3meetingwithEl-der.

“It wasn’t until thispast week against Elder

where Ben was 100 per-cent.We saw the oldBen,”Specht said.

Glines, in a return toform, carried it 24 timesfor a season-high 172yards and three TDsagainst the Panthers, inThe Pit. That’s the secondseason in a rowGlines hastotaled more than 170

yards on the groundagainst rival Elder.

TheBombershavealsobeendealingwith injuriesat the quarterback posi-tion. Starting quarter-back, Sean Clifford, suf-fered a concussionagainst Moeller. Thenbackup quarterback,Daniel Keyes, suffered aconcussion. So, theBomb-erswentwithBenatquar-terback in thewildcat for-mation. Glines didn’t dis-appoint.

“He (Glines) wants theball in his hands,” saidSpecht. “He wants it asmuch as he can.”

The Boston Collegecommit tied the game, 21-21, with three minutes toplay on a 34-yard run toforce overtime. Afterboth teams traded fieldgoals in the first over-time, Glines helped ham-mer down a decisiveeight-point lead with afive-yard touchdown run,followed by a two-pointconversion run.

“He’s a slasher, does areally nice job finding theseem,” said Specht.

Over the years, Glines(6-foot-1, 195) has provenhis versatility, always do-ing what’s been asked ofhim. As a sophomore,Glines played cornerbackfor the Bombers. BostonCollege recruitedhimasawide receiver, accordingto Specht, but they endedup listing him as an ath-lete because he can do somany different things.

“His best days are infront of him; he’s got abright future,” saidSpecht. “We knew fromthe time he got here thathewouldbeaspecialplay-er for us.”

“We changed our schedule andmade it harder this year,” third-year Roger Bacon coach AlyssaCarlotta said.

“We added some tough teams,but I’m always looking for them toget better.”

Socialism and thecurrent situationin our sacred U.S.government

The logic of Socialismor “Our Current Admini-stration in D.C.”

I submit the followingpostulate for discussionand without prejudice.

Without thought thereis no idea.

Without idea there, canbe no experiment.

Without experiment,there is neither successnor failure.

Without success or fail-ure, there canbeno inven-tion.

Without invention,there can be no progress.

Without progress,there is no prosperity.

Without prosperity,there is no purpose for

thought.The primary purpose

of socialism is to provideequality for all of the citi-zens within the boundaryof that countries popula-tion. The socialist govern-ment also provides whatthe administration consid-erswhat is best for the cit-izens of their society.A so-cialist typeofgovernmentwants to control thethoughts of its citizensand not allow the popula-tion to think ormake deci-sions on their own. Sotherefore, given theabovepostulate ... in a socialistrun society there can beno prosperity.

Think long and hardabout this on election daywhen visiting the polls inNovember.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about

the Ebola virus? What pre-cautions are you taking andwhat should public healthofficials be doing to pre-vent an epidemic?

“Iamworriedabout theEbola virus for our coun-try. The president allowsour borders to be wideopen. Islamic militantshave no compunctionabout dying for theircause.Onemilitant infect-ed with the virus could in-fectmanyby justcrossingthe border into Texas orArizona.”

Thomas Dean

Oct. 2 questionWhat is the best fall

event or tradition in thearea? What makes itunique?

“For me fall is the cul-mination of a lot of thewonders of nature. Thetrees turning color andthen dropping theirleaves, perennial plantshibernating or completelydisappearing, yet weknow they will be resur-rected in thespring. Imiss

the smell of burningleaves from childhood.Perhaps we can bringback that tradition?

“I look forward to tak-ing some nice hikes in theCincinnati Nature pre-serve, which I recom-mend to all. Fall obviouslyleads us to winter, a timeduringwhichthewimpsofCincinnati cry incessantlyabout howfrigid it is, evenif only 32 degrees. Wear acoatpeopleandgetover it.Yes it will snow, but no,two inches of snow doesnot mean we shut downthe world. Buy a shovel.But enough about wimps,let’s justenjoytheregalitythat is fall.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your favorite localHaunted House or Hal-loween display? What doyou like about it?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viaemail. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

My name is Fred Kundrataand I am the Democratic nomi-nee for U.S. Congress in Ohio’s1st District, challenging incum-bent Republican U.S. Rep. SteveChabot.

I believe that bipartisan lead-ership is desperately needed tocreate jobs and to strengthen theeconomy in Cincinnati andSouthwest Ohio.

We must recognize that jobcreation and the economy is theNo. 1 priority. You probablyknow someone who just graduat-ed college or high school andcannot find a job. They want toseek the American Dream. Theywant to perhaps get married oneday, buy a home, and start a fam-ily, but they need good payingjobs to do so.

America needs leaders whobring people together to solvedifficult challenges in our chang-ing world. Ohio ranks 47th out of50 states in job creation. We needto have a plan to revitalize ourlocal economy and keep South-west Ohio’s human capital athome.

The next congressman fromOhio’s 1st District should createa Bipartisan Jobs LeadershipTeam that will bring togetherDemocrats, Republicans andindependents; business, labor,

and communityleaders, andcitizens, to focuson job creationand improvingopportunities fordistrict resi-dents.

The goalwould be to bringthese groupstogether in aroundtable envi-

ronment. No single element ofthe group will have supremacyover the others. The BipartisanJobs Leadership team will fea-ture a shared leadership struc-ture drawn from each of thegroups above.

Today, there are too many U.S.representatives who have ne-glected their constituents infavor of partisan politics. We canstart bipartisanship here at homein the Cincinnati area. We needeveryone working together;Democrats, Republicans andindependents, committed to get-ting things done. Extreme polar-ization is killing progress in theU.S. Congress.

Based on the nonpartisanNational Journal’s annual voteratings, only four out of 535members of the House and Sen-ate are considered in the ideolog-

ical middle. The “ideologicalmiddle” in this case is defined asfalling between the most conser-vative Democrat and the mostliberal Republican. By contrast,in 1982, 344 members of Con-gress, or 79 percent, fell in theideological middle.

The lack of overlap betweenthe two parties is seen as a pri-mary cause of gridlock in Wash-ington today. It comes as no sur-prise that the U.S. Congress hasan approval rating under 15 per-cent.

In those same National Jour-nal ratings, based on an analysisof key votes in 2013, my oppo-nent was rated the No. 1mostconservative member of Con-gress. As the Cincinnati Enquir-er’s own Deirdre Shesgreenpoints out, Steve Chabot “wearsthe conservative label proudly.‘There’s not a lot of room to myright!’ The Westwood Repub-lican declared.”

The U.S. Congress and the 1stDistrict need bipartisan leader-ship, and commitment to work-ing together to create a strongereconomy. The Bipartisan JobsLeadership Team can be a firststep in the right direction.

Fred Kundrata is running for Congressfrom Ohio’s 1st District.

Taking the lead onbipartisanship, job creation

FredKundrataCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Divorce is painful, even whenyou can see it on the horizon.

Within 42 months, suburbsaround the city of Cincinnatihave a major decision to make,but it’s not a typical election bal-lot choice.

The City of Cincinnati andHamilton County have a 1968Metropolitan Sewer Districtoperating agreement that ends inMarch 2018. At the recent quar-terly meeting of our First Sub-urbs Consortium of SouthwestOhio, I spoke to encourage myelected peers from other commu-nities to join in a mutual effort toplan our collective response towhat follows the likely splitup.

MSD has been owned by thecounty but operated by the cityfor 50 years, and is funded byeach property owner in the re-gion who uses sewer service.After the split, Cincinnati CityHall will lack total MSD controlfor the first time in a half-centu-ry. Let’s take time to plan andnegotiate from a position ofstrength as we suburban electedleaders come to the table on thecounty’s team.

Costs of the sewer upgradesmandated by our cleanup consentdecree have generated angry

calls from sub-urban residentsabout their bills.The recurring“rate shock” of alarge annual rateincrease forcleanup resultedfrom postponeddecisions of the1950s and 1960s.Today we arepaying billions of

dollars to do the cleaning, storingand separating that is necessaryto reduce wastewater enteringthe Ohio River. Whichever enti-ties perform theMSD roles afterMarch 2018 will have to complywith those federal court orders.

Our county’s suburban electedleaders have to decide, whatownership should we and thecounty assert, and what bond-holder assurances will be appro-priate? This 42 months’ advancenotice allows elected officialsoutside Cincinnati city limits todetermine what we want ourcounty government to do afterMarch 2018, assuming the 1968terms will inevitably be revised.

The employees of the city-runMSD sewer operations expectedthat their pensions within the

city’s pension program are se-curely inside the city program,but nowmay be part of the OhioPERS pensions paid to countyand local non-Cincinnati employ-ees. Do we as suburbs want thatpoint of leverage to be utilized inour negotiations for the 2018empowerment of the county?Would the removal of MSDwork-ers impact the city’s retirementsystem as greatly as some fearthat it would? It’s a labor bargain-ing and fiscal planning issue.This is not scary, unless we ig-nore its fiscal impacts until thelast minute.

I am hopeful that my electedpeers fromMSD-using communi-ties inside the county (but outsideCincinnati) will join in an effortto get our collective plans togeth-er. We would enlist the countycommission, and reassure bondholders and soon-to-retire MSDworkers that they will not beoverlooked when the 2018 di-vorce occurs.

Let’s start planning for thechanges ahead!

OCTOBER 15, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE

As I sit here typingthis column, I can lookout the window and seeFarmer Bruner bending

over topickday-gloworangepump-kinsfrom thefield. I’mstill find-ingsmallerpump-kins and

squash in the untendedremains of our veggiegarden.

There’s also a softlycolored mosaic of leavescovering the ground nearthe back of the herb gar-den. No doubt, autumn isin full swing. I supposethat’s why I’m gettingrequests for more breadrecipes. Nothing smellsbetter than a loaf ofwarm bread taken fromthe oven and slatheredwith butter. Or with theJarlsberg spread recipe Iam sharing, as well.

Small batch 100percent wholewheat bread

For Pete, who wanteda recipe for a single loafof 100 percent wholewheat bread.

He has my originalone for whole wheatbread that makes twoloaves, but he wanted asmaller batch. Make sureyou use high quality plain100 percent whole wheatflour, not partial wholewheat or anything inbetween.

1-1/8 cups lukewarmwater - start with 1 cup**

1/4 cup Canola oil1/4 cup honey3 -1/2 cups 100 percent

whole wheat flour2 -1/2 teaspoons rapid

rise/instant yeast, not

regular active yeast1/4 cup dried milk

powder1 -1/4 teaspoons salt**In summer/humid

weather, usually 1 cup isenough. In cold/dryweather you may needthe additional two table-spoons.

Combine all ingredi-ents and stir until doughstarts to leave sides ofbowl. For easiest knead-ing, let dough rest for 20minutes in bowl; thisgives the flour a chanceto absorb some of theliquid, and the bran tosoften. Transfer to lightlygreased surface, oil yourhands, and knead for 6 to8 minutes, or until itbegins to become smoothand supple.

Note: This doughshould be soft, yet stillfirm enough to knead.Adjust its consistencywith additional water orflour, if necessary.

Transfer to lightlysprayed bowl, cover, andallow to rise till puffythough not necessarilydoubled in bulk, about 1to 2 hours, depending onthe warmth of yourkitchen.

Transfer to lightlyoiled work surface, andshape into 8-inch log.Place in lightly sprayedor greased loaf pan, cov-er loosely with lightlysprayed plastic wrap,and allow to rise 1 to 2hours, or till the centerhas raised about 1 inchabove the rim of the pan.Towards the end of therising time, preheat theoven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 35to 40 minutes, tenting itlightly with aluminumfoil after 20 minutes toprevent over-browning.The finished loaf willregister 190°F on an in-stant-read thermometerinserted into center.

Remove from oven,and turn out onto rack tocool. I like to rub hotcrust with a stick of but-ter. Cool and eat.

Tip fromRita’s kitchen

100 percent wholewheat is just that, withall of the bran, germ andendosperm intact. Yourbody absorbs it slower soyou feel fuller longer,plus it has a better gly-cemic index than whiteflour.

Jarlsberg spreadMy friend, Linda Grif-

fith, brought a containerof this spread for me totry.

“I love it and you canbuy it at some delis,” shetold me. Hmmm ... check-ing the ingredients on thelabel led me to believe Icould clone this reallyyummy spread, and I did.So here it is and it’s ver-satile – spread on toastand run under broiler orstir a spoonful into clearchicken broth. Or servechilled with crackers.

Blend together and letflavors mellow in refrig-erator several hoursbefore serving:

1/2 cup mayonnaise orbit more if needed

2 cups shredded Gru-yere or Swiss - if youwant the real deal, useGruyere

1-2 tablespoonsminced red onion

Bit of chopped parsley- opt.

Tip fromRita’s kitchen

Gruyere is a highquality, softer cheese, sochill it well before at-tempting to shred.
