The possibility of LunkenAirport landinga low-cost com-mercial airline has some resi-dents in surrounding neighbor-hoods excited, but concernsabout noise still linger.

Allegiant Air contacted theEast End municipal airfieldearlier this year and expressedinterest in launching two tofour flights a week at LunkenAirport. The Las Vegas-basedairline services more than adozen vacation destinationslike Orlando, Fla., and Phoenixfrom different cities aroundthe United States.

An Allegiant Air spokes-woman said they’re planning toexpand this fall and have con-tactedseveralothercities inre-cent months.

The Cincinnati/NorthernKentucky International Air-port is also trying to bring thelow-cost airline there.

Brendan McCabe, who isone of the owners at the River-side Centre Antique Mall onKellogg Avenue, said he sup-ports efforts to bring a com-mercial airline back to Lunken.

“I think it would be good forthe area and give people otheroptions,” he said. “There is bet-ter and easier access (at Lun-ken), and it’s at leastworth talk-ing about.”

The Hyde Park resident re-cently used the charter serviceat Lunken to fly to Chicago andsaid it was much easier thantraveling toCVGforaweekendtrip. He understands the con-cerns about increased noise insurrounding neighborhoods,but saidhedoesn’t think the ini-tial few flights per week wouldbemuch of an issue.

“I can’t imagine it’d be toomuchnoisier thanitalreadyis,”saidMcCabe,whohas livedandworked in thearea for 20years.“When you’re down here youunderstand that it comes withthe territory.”

Lunken Airport, which isownedby thecity ofCincinnati,hasn’t had regularly scheduledcommercial service since 1963– except for a short-lived at-

tempt in 1990 by Midway Air-lines.

It was established as a per-manent airfield in 1925 andwould need infrastructure up-grades before a commercialairline could operate there.

Airport manager Fred An-derton said he’s met with a cityarchitect to discuss if changescouldbemade–andpaidfor–tothe airport’s aging infrastruc-ture. Its terminal is small, park-ing is limited and commercialairline service would require afully staffed security check-point.

“Whatwehave inplacerightnow is not adequate,” Andertonsaid. “I’ve been trying to comeup with a solution.”

Lunken could bring in mod-ular buildings to house the se-curity checkpoint and serve asa waiting area, Anderton said.

Allegiant Air often operatesout of secondary and generalaviationairports likeLunkenaspartof itsstrategytokeepover-head costs down.

Anderton recently met witha group of residents at a Lin-wood Community Councilmeeting todiscuss theprospectof commercial service andneeded infrastructure up-grades.

Tom Salamon, president ofthe Linwood Community Coun-cil, said this is still in the earlystagesofdiscussionandthey’renot expecting any movementon a deal in the immediate fu-ture.

Noise fromplanes takingoff

and landing has been a long-standing issue in the area, andin the early 2000swhenLunkenand city officials were discuss-ing a possible runway expan-sion many residents expressedconcerns about the effect thatwould have on surroundingneighborhoods.

“Back then, the neighbor-hood of Linwood in particular,was adamantly against it, andthereare still residents that are(opposed),” Salamon said.

“How it’s split at this point –yea or nay – I couldn’t tell you.But there is the same concernin other neighborhoods likeMt.Washington and the Mt. Look-out area about this situation.”

Beth Ormsby, who lives inColumbia Tusculum, said she’dsupport the new service andalso thinks it could be good forthe region. Her husband oftentravels on business, she said,and having more flight optionsfrom Lunken would be conve-nient.

The area is already noisyand they live far enough awayto not be affected as much, butOrmsby said she hopes the ad-ditional air traffic wouldn’t im-pact local spaces like Alms orAult parks, which both over-look the airport.

But Allyson Blohm, wholives inHydeParkandworksatthe Riverside Centre AntiqueMall, said she doesn’t think thenoise from a handful of com-mercial flights would cause aproblem because “the jets areconstant now.”

Many people watch planes take off and land from Lunken Airport from this overlook in Alms Park. Theairport might land a new commercial airline. LISA WAKELAND/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

HYDE PARK —Dog owners inHyde Park may be given a re-prieve.

Last month the Hyde ParkNeighborhood Improvement

Corp. announcedit would no long-erprovideplasticbags for cleaningup dog waste.

The Improve-ment Corp.,which main-tained stockingof the Mutt Mittcontainers, de-

cided it was becoming cost pro-hibitive, according to JanetBuening, a member of both theHydeParkNeighborhoodCoun-cil and the Improvement Corp.

Buening said it costs about$5,000 annually to buy about30,000 mitts and have the con-tainers maintained.

However, during the May 14HydeParkNeighborhoodCoun-cil council meeting, Bueningsaid the Improvement Corp. islooking at alternatives so thecontainers can remain stocked.

A number of residents hadexpressed concerns about po-

tential loss of the bags.It’s not dead in thewater, said

Buening about ongoing effortsto come up with a cost effectivesolution.

“It is still in discussion,” shesaid.

Buening said one option be-ing considered is buying a low-er-grade plastic for the contain-ers that would not be as expen-sive.

She said the ImprovementCorp. has not taken an officialvote on continuation of the pro-gram, but she saidmembers atelooking at ways to maintain it.

She said it is estimated thereare enough bags in the contain-ers,whichare set up throughoutHyde Park, to continue to sup-ply them through at least June.

Also during the meeting:»Rob Pasquinucci, head of

council’s Community Outreachand Development Committee,discussed ongoing efforts to in-crease membership on theHydeParkNeighborhoodCoun-cil.

Council is consideringdiffer-entwaystoengagetheresidentsand increase involvement incouncil, such as gift cards as apossible incentive to generateinterest.

“It’sattractivetowhatwearetargeting in the market,” saidGriffin, adding the pedestrian-friendlyatmosphereof thecom-munity and its proximity todowntown Cincinnati made it aviable choice.

Terrace Park resi-dents can expect to seesomeroadandsidewalkrepairs on villagestreets this year.

Council conducted afirst reading of two res-olutions authorizingcontracts with HendyInc. and Strawser Con-struction for sidewalkinstallation/repair androad resurfacing, re-spectively.

Streets that can ex-pect sidewalk repair in-clude Amherst, Myrtle,Floral, Yale, Miami andOxford avenues. Ger-ald Hayhow, who is thevillage’s police chiefand street commission-er, said many of theserepairs are at intersec-tions where the side-walk meets the street.

Some often havelarge puddles afterrain, so the sidewalkswould be raised and in-cludehandicap accessi-bility, Hayhow said.

Terrace Park alsoplans to extend theblacktop walkway an-other 440 feet on IndianHill Road north ofWooster Pike. Thosesidewalk projects areexpected to cost tax-payers just under$20,000.

Village streets to beresurfaced includeMarian Lane, Robin-wood, Elm and Douglascourts, Franklin Ave-nue, and Stanton Ave-nue, between Elm andMiami avenues.

Hayhow said they’reusing a new polymer

aggregate to seal thestreets, which will al-low the village to “dou-ble what we’ve done inthe past.”

He picked somestreets that need repairand others in goodshape.

The new resurfacingproduct will help keepthe streets in bettercondition longer, Hay-how said, and he ex-pects to go through thewhole village in aboutfive years.

The street project isexpected to cost tax-payers about $49,000,and Hayhow said themoney is from TerracePark’s restricted funds,which can only be usedfor certain items.

Terrace Park alsoapplied for a grantfrom Hamilton Coun-ty’s Municipal RoadFund to repair part ofElm Avenue.

The grant, if award-ed, would cover im-provements on ElmAv-enue from WoosterPike (U.S. 50) to theTer-race Park Swim andTennis Club next toStumps Lane.

The village has re-paired that part of thestreet in the past, butMayor Jay Gohmansaid there is likelysome water under thestreet that continues tocause deteriorationproblems.

Hayhow said engi-neers are trying toidentify the source ofthe problem, and re-pairs to that piece ofElm Avenue would costaround $85,000 to fix.

COLUMBIA TWP — . Cit-ing revenue cuts from thestate and other fundingsources, township trust-ees have taken the firststep in placing a tax hikeproposal on the Novem-ber ballot.

The Columbia Town-ship Board of Trusteesunanimously approved aresolution May 14:

»Declaring theneed to

levy a tax that would putthe total millage assesseda property by township,county and school leviesover Ohio’s constitutional10-mill limit, over whichofficials need voter ap-proval.

» Asking the HamiltonCounty auditor to certifyhow much money wouldbe generated if millage isincreased.

Township PresidentStephen Langenkamp,Vice President Susan Hughes and Trustee Da-

vid Kubicki will later de-cide how large of an oper-ating levy they believe isneeded and vote to put iton the Nov. 5 ballot.

Township Administra-tor Mike Lemon said theyprobably will end up ask-ing voters to increase themillage from 0.4 mills toabout 2.4 mills.

If approved, Lemonsaid, that would generatean additional estimated$228,000 annually for thetownship effective Jan. 1.

If approved the pro-posed levy would cost theowner of a $100,000 homeabout $65 to $70 more peryear in taxes, Lemon said.

The Columbia Town-ship trustees said askingvoters toapproveanoper-ating levy is the last thingthey want to do.

But theysaid theyhave

to find revenue to coversome of the money thetownship has lost and thatbudget cuts the townshipalreadyhasmadeandeco-nomic-development pos-sibilities it already haspursued are not enough.

“We’ve always beengood stewards of taxpay-ers’money,”Langenkampsaid.

“Our hand has beenforced.”

He said Ohio has forthe past decade beeneliminating and phasingout taxes and fees withthe explanation that someof the changeswill attractmore businesses that willin turn generate in-creased revenue to mu-nicipalities.

“Unfortunately, thenewbusiness boomprom-ised failed to materializeand township revenuesbegan falling,” Lemonsaid.

If the operating levypasses, township officialssay, they hope it can even-tually be rolled back.

Fiscal Officer Paul Da-vis said it is possible thetownship could generaterevenue for a rollback bycreating a joint economicdevelopment zone withanother community.

Despite the potentialfor city budget cuts, boththe Oakley and Mt. Wash-ington pools will be openthis summer.

According to Cincin-nati aquatics director Jin-cey Yemaya, all of theTristate pools will be openthis summer.

The Cincinnati Recrea-tion Commission operates22 pools and seven spraypools.

In 2011, theOakley poolfaced possible closurealong with a number ofother Tristate pools. A“Save Oakley Pool Com-mittee” rallied behindkeeping the pool open andraised $4,000.

The city eventually re-considered the pool clo-

sures andall of thepools re-mainedopen.

FiveCincinnatipools willface clo-sure in

2014, according to Cincin-nati Recreation DirectorChristopher Bigham.However, the Oakley andMt. Washington pools willnot be among them.

“They are two ex-tremely busy pools, andtheywould be very low onthe list (for closure),” saidBigham.

The pools set to beclosed are Filson, Fair-view,Ziegler,CampWash-ington and Spring Grove.

The Oakley Pool willopen Monday, June 3, and

close Sunday, Aug.10. TheMt. Washington Pool willalso open June 3 and closeSunday, Aug. 17.

Bigham said Cross-roads in Oakley donated$65,000 to the CincinnatiRecreation Foundation.This donation will go to-ward the pools.

He said the donationwill go toward Sundayfamily swimsat several ofthe pools including Mt.Washington and also forscholarships involvingmemberships and swimlessons.

Yemayasaidshe isgladallof thepoolswillbeopenthis summer. “It is so im-portant that every childand adult get the opportu-nity to swim,” she said.

NEWTOWN — The vil-lage’s annexation plansare on hold and it is un-clearwhether theywillberesurrected.

Newtown VillageCouncil voted May 14against spending moremoney to proceed withsome of the plans that al-ready have cost the vil-lage some $92,000.

“Amotionwasmade toauthorize money for sur-veying – $2,300 for a re-vised plat – and legal feesup to $10,000 for annex-ation and the motionfailed 2 to 3,” said Coun-

cilman Mark Kobasuk,who joined CouncilmenJoe Harten and CurtTiettmeyer in votingdown themotion.

“So no money was au-thorized at the meetingfor annexation efforts,”Kobasuk said.

A revised plat wouldbe necessary if Newtownwere to proceed with an-nexations because of BobSlattery’s recent decisionto drop his request thatthe village annex Colum-bia Township property heowns on the eastern endofWooster Pike.

There, Slattery oper-ates the FiftyWest Brew-ingCo. in the formerHer-

itage Restaurant and theHahana Beach sportscomplex.

That scuttles part ofNewtown’s annexationplans because Ohio lawrequirespropertyownerstobeonboardfor the typeof annexation the villageis considering.

The village had alsoplanned to annex proper-ty in Anderson Townshipthat includes the Hamil-tonCountyParkDistrict’sLittle Miami Golf Centerand Bass Island Park.

“A revised annexationplat would include the

property of the HamiltonCounty Park District andone parcel belonging toLittle Miami Inc.,” saidNewtownViceMayorDa-ryl Zornes, who votedwith Councilman ChuckShort May 14 to approvethe failed motion to pro-ceed with annexationplans.

“(Annexation plans)will be postponed for nowuntil we gather somemore information,” Shortsaid.

“I think personally it isimportant toconsider it inthe hopes to help preventthe Eastern Corridorfromcoming through anddestroying Newtown.

“Under the currentproposed path, manybusiness would be lost,”Short said.

But Cosby has said heagreeswith Short that an-nexing property wouldhelp protect Newtownagainst inroads associat-ed with the proposedEastern Corridor Pro-gram.

The regional programwould add and improveroads, provide more var-ied means of transporta-tion and be administeredby the Ohio Departmentof Transportation.

It includes everythingfromlightbulbs toaircon-ditioners, windows to wallinsulation.

Those are a few of theenergy efficient upgradesthe Mariemont CitySchoolDistrictmade to itsnew buildings with helpfrom the Greater Cincin-nati Energy Alliance, anonprofit economicdevel-opment agency that helpsbusinesses and residentsin four counties reduceenergy costs.

The Energy Alliancerecently presented a$200,000 check to theschool district to coversomeof thecosts associat-ed with its recent $39.8million construction andrenovation project at Ma-riemont and Terrace Parkelementary schools, andthe new Mariemont Ju-nior High in Fairfax.

“That contribution hasmade our buildings heremuch more efficient and

(it’s) going to continue topay back taxpayers yearafter year after year,” Su-perintendent Paul Imhoffsaid.

Energy Alliance foun-der and CEO Andy Holz-hausersaid thiswasoneofits first commercial pro-jects, and theorganizationalso provides energy au-ditsand loanprogramsforhomeowners.

Holzhauser said theschool district “has showleadership in investing inits own energy efficien-cy,” and he hopes that en-courages others to learnmore about the availableprograms.

“When you’re usingtaxpayer dollars, any-thing you can do to lowercosts is appreciated, andwe get energy efficiencyon topof it,”BoardofEdu-cation President PeggyBraun said.

Here’s what waspart of the EnergyAlliance upgrades:

» Digital direct controlretrofit, which allowsheating and cooling sys-temstobecontrolledfromone central location andalso utilizes automatedpresets.

» Upgraded lighting tomore energy efficientbulbs and ballasts. Motionsensorsalso turnoff lightsnot being used after a cer-tain period of time.

» High-efficiencychillers; heating, ventila-tion and air conditioning;exhaust, insulationandairdistribution systems.

» Wall insulation,caulking and insulated ex-terior doors to decreaseair leakage.

» Pump motor/vari-able speed drive upgrade,which controls the pumpmotor speeds to reduceoverall energy usagewhen it is not necessary.

» Double-pane win-dows that help reducetemperature loss and al-low the internal heating/cooling system to notwork as hard.

Less is more.As in the less time it takes to

runamileor two, themorerec-ordsSt.UrsulaAcademysoph-omore Annie Heffernan sets.

After a cross country sea-son inwhich she finished thirdin the Division I state crosscountry meet, Heffernan nowowns a pair of long-standingcity records in track. She setthe 3,200-meter mark with a10:27runat theWalnutHillsIn-vitational and came back thenext week to set the 1,600-me-ter standardwith a 4:51race attheMason Invitational.

Both recordsused tobelongto former Mason High Schoolgreat Angela Bizzari.

“I was pretty excited whenthey told me I had broken An-gela Bizzari’s record, but Ihaven’tbeenpayinga lotatten-tionto therecords,”Heffernansaid. “I’m just going out andtrying to run my best race. Ijust try to relax myself andhave confidence in my train-ing.”

Which St. Ursula Aademyhead track coach Dan Birdsaid is outstanding.

“In practice (the rest of theteam)gets abig trainingbonuswith her,” Bird said. “They seeher working hard. We havesome very dedicated girls andtheyget swept upwith her. Ev-erybody improves.

“She’s a very determinedyoung lady. She only ran inthreemeetsasafreshman,oneevent each. She had somehealth issues and she cameinto her sophomore crosscountry season a little unsureof what she could do. As theseason went on, she got betterandbetterandfinishedthird inthe state meet. She rolled intoher track season and goodthings kept happening.

“She finds a pace and sheknows how to stick to it. Herbiggest asset is her ability tojust let the race come to her. Alot of high school runners getanxious and want to push thepace toomuch too early. Anniehas really good race smarts

and is aware of who is aroundher.”

Heffernan said she doesn’thaveapreference for the1,600or the 3,200.

“I think I like them both,”she said. “They’re very differ-ent races, but they both havethings I like about them. Youdefinitely have to get out fast-er in the1,600. In the 3,200 youcan sit back a litle bit beforeyou have to make a move.”

Heffernan said there is nomagicmomentwhen shekicksinto high gear.

“It really depends on therace,” she said. “It depends onthe goals you have. You justsort of let it gowhen you get tothe meets.”

Heffernan started runningin kindergarten when her old-er brother, Danny, took uptrack. She ran for Our Lady ofVisitation all through gradeschool before going out forcross country at SUA as afreshman.

“It’s worked out prettywell,” she said.

Bird thinks it will continueworking out for quite sometime.

“We’ve been careful withher, keeping her healthy,” hesaid of his young runner.“She’s really an easy girl tocoach; she listens. I don’t seeany reason why she can’t con-tinue to improve.”

Heffernan agreed.“Hopefully I can just go out

and get faster every week,”she said.

“I hesitate to ever say this isthe most talented team, butthere is a unique chemistrythese ladies have,” Robinsonsaid. “They have a passion forwinningand theyget it done.Wehave a lot of seniors and theyknow that the time is now.”

Walnut Hills is again loadedwith sprinters as sophomoreArissa Freeman and senior Ali-jah Carpenter are among theECC’s100and200 leaders. Soph-omoreTaylorDarks tops the400and senior Kelsey Cornett isdominant in the100 and 300 hur-

dles.“She definitely is one of our

best hurdlers, but she’s also oneof our best sprinters,” Robinsonsaid of Cornett. “My task as acoach is to make sure she’s suc-cessful as an individual, but also

makesureshehelpsusget to thetournament on those relays.”

Cornett is part of the LadyEagles 4x200 relay along withAlijah Carpenter, Freeman andDarks.

“Our 4x200 is probably thefastest that I’ve ever coached atWalnut,” Robinson said. “The4x100 is doingwell. The 4x400 isa toss-up. With Maryn Lowry,the 4x800 will be even faster.”

“We’re going to have tomakea decision on her,” Robinsonsaid. “Both of those races are al-ready looking fast and severalgirls are under fiveminutes.Wewerekindof set onherdoing the1,600,butwemayhavetomakeadecision and switch her to the800.”

Wenstrup working on VA processMemorial Day is fast ap-

proaching; a day of paradesand ceremonies to honor thosewho made the ultimate sacri-

fice for ourcountry. If youare taking partin theseevents, take aclose look atthe flag. In themorning, itshould be low-ered to half-staff to honorthe men andwomen whogave their

lives to protect this nation. Inthe afternoon, it should befully raised to remind us thatwe all must ensure those sacri-fices are never in vain.

The solemn responsibility toprotect our nation falls to eachand every one of us, but none

more so than our service menand women. This is why it is soimportant for our country touphold our commitments toour veterans.

As your representative, Ihold this commitment to ourtroops, past, present and fu-ture, very dear. Unfortunately,issues at the Veterans Admini-stration (VA) are delayingopportunities for our servicemen and women to get thetreatment they deserve. I re-cently visited the VA RegionalOffice in Cleveland to bringthe cases of 40 southern Ohioveterans to their direct atten-tion. Each veteran had falleninto the claims backlog, mean-ing they have been waiting 125days or more for a decision.

On average, Ohio veteranswait 368 days to have theirinitial claims adjudicated.Since my visit, these 40 veter-

ans have been able to receiveupdates and their claims aregetting closer to completion.While this progress representsdrastic improvement for localveterans and their families, theproblem is much larger thanjust these 40 cases.

The VA claims process hasfallen into such a state thatnearly 70 percent of all casesslip into the backlog. Part ofthe reason this backlog existsis because the VA has not tak-en advantage of advances intechnology. For example, in-stead of automatically trans-ferring military records to theVA, new veterans are asked totrack down their files andtransfer them to the VA in-dependently. This process istime-consuming, expensiveand unnecessary in this era oftechnology.

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki

and Director of Ohio’s Depart-ment of Veterans ServicesColonel TomMoe also visitedthe Cleveland VA RegionalOffice during my time there.Wemet with local staff andevaluated the improvementsbeing made. Secretary Shinse-ki assured me that reducingthe backlog is his highest prior-ity and he is keeping a closewatch on the progress beingmade for Ohio veterans.

He has overseen significantimprovements, including pro-cedural changes implementedto speed up the process, butthere is still a long way to gobefore our veterans get thetreatment they deserve. As amember of the Veterans Af-fairs Committee, I will workwith him for as long as it takesto fix this broken system.

As the flag goes back up onMemorial Day, the torch is

passed from those who gavetheir lives to those who con-tinue the fight. Our treatmentof the men and women whoserve reflects our values as anation, which is why it is timeto hold the VA accountable fortheir shortcomings. I assureyou that I go to work every daywith this mission in mind.

Until then, keep this in mind- if you are having problemswith a federal agency, such asthe VA, you can call my officeto determine how we can helpyou. You can also email methrough my website atwww.Wenstrup.house.gov. Asyour representative, it is bothmy job and my honor to serveyou.

Yes, the IRS is a functionof the U.S. government – it isnot an independent agency –as the White House spokes-man, Jay Carney, has claimedlast week.

As you have read about thepolitical targeting of conser-vative groups by the IRS

during thelast threeyears, youmay want tofind out howwe the peo-ple, who weretargeted forharassmentby the IRS,reacted dur-ing the lastthree years.Any organi-

zation that applied for a501-4C non profit classifica-tion that included in theirname – Tea Party, Patriot,Freedom, Liberty, 912 Pro-ject, government spending orConstitution – was targeted asan organization. Groups sym-pathetic with the president’sagenda were not targeted.

After seeing the lack ofprosecution and seeing thegovernment cover up of theBlack Panther voter intimida-tion case in Philadelphia, andseeing the lack of resolve bythe Federal government tostop terrorist attacks onAmericans, and the lack ofresolve to properly prosecuteIslamic terrorists such as theFort Hood mass killer, andthe observation of the com-plete denial and cover up ofthe existence of Islamic ter-rorism by Attorney GeneralEric Holder and PresidentBarack Hussein Obama as areal threat to our security, Ihad to find a plan of protec-tion from the government.

My response and the re-sponse of thousands of Patri-ots was to buy firearms.There were long lines at gunshops and still are. I tookclasses for concealed carryalong with thousands of oth-ers to obtain authorization to

carry a gun. Yes governmenttyranny – or suppression ofconstitutional rights is real.

You may be blinded bythinking tyranny can nothappen here, however, I amold enough to have heardfirst-hand reports of how“free “ Germany was con-verted, almost overnight to atotalitarian State. First theNational Socialist Party ofGermany found victims toblame – just like the years ofblaming GeorgeW. Bush andthen blaming the Tea Partyby the Democrat Party lead-ership in this country.

Then the German legisla-ture was neutered by passinglaws they did not read. Next,universal background checksfor gun ownership were im-plemented. These back-ground checks and gun owneridentification allowed theplanned confiscation of allguns from all law abidingcitizens. The public was dis-armed. Then came the in-ternment and concentrationcamps. Then cameWorldWard ll and the devastation ofEurope including the neartotal destruction of Germany.

Yes, government tyrannystarts with a series ofplanned steps – seeminglyinnocuous at first and thenstark realization to all. Citi-zens of “free Germany” wereduped and now we see inAmerica that many of ouroblivious friends and neigh-bors have also been duped –not once –in the election of2008, but again in the electionfor 2012.

Evil was allowed to growin Germany in the 1930s andnow we see lies and deceitgrowing in Washington, D.C.Yes, it took knowledge of thestand-down order , for somepeople within the Federalgovernment as well as citi-zens like you and me – tostand up and say enough isenough.

Last week’s questionShould Ohio’s legislature pass

a right-to-work law? Why or whynot?”

“Absolutely! We are at a bigdisadvantage to most states intheSouthandnowtoIndianaandMichigan. That loud suckingsound that you hear is the soundof all those Ohio jobs goingsouth, west, and north.

“Where are the Republicanoffice-holders on this? Where isthere backbone? It was for is-sues like right-to-work that theywere elected and now you can’tfind themwith a search party.”

T.H.

“I think Ohio needs to makesure they can get the labormar-ket down so that everyone not ina white collar job is consideredan at-will employee and can belet goor firedat anytimewithnoprotectionofaunionoraccess toaffordable legal counsel.

“This protects the businessowners, helps the shareholdersand will ensure a supply ofcheap labor. If a worker feelsthey’re being treated too harsh-ly or the conditions aren’t good,then as an owner I can just getrid of that bad seed and quicklybring in a replacement.

“Labor isn’t scarce, but thereis always room for maximizingprofitsandbreakingupunions isone way to ensure that profitscan be maximized and wages

kept very low.”I.P.

“Oddhowwecitizens seemtothink that these folkswe electedshould pass so many hundredsof laws ... it's just nuts how intru-sive government (which is nec-essary) has become.

“Seems likeourAmerican so-ciety swings back and forth ev-ery 40 years or so, though. I betour America becomes muchmorelibertarianoverthenext10years, as times do change, andthis right-to-work stuff looksvery much like a good place tostart.”

K.P.

“If I am correct in my think-ing, 'right to work' laws forbidcompanies from forcing em-ployeesto joinaunion inordertoget a job. If Ohio workers do nothave that protection then yes,we need such a law.”

R.V.

“Absolutely. Individualsshouldhavethefreedomtoworkforwhateverratetheirskillscandemand without being forced tojoin a union or give them dues.This isespecially thecasewhereunion leadership gives the duesto political entities that the em-ployee doesn't support.”

P.C.

“Yes. Yes. A thousand timesyes.This isNOTSB5.This isnotan attack on the unions. This issimply giving people the choiceof whether or not they want to

belong to a union.”J.G.

“People who dislike unionswould bewell-advised to do a lit-tle reading aboutwhy theywereformed in the first place. IfOhioRepublicans want to be unionbusters, so be it, but it may betheir own party they wind upbusting.

“People promoting this wantto claim that there will be morejobs because businesses willhave more money to spend, butthat's not what history shows.Corporations already have toomany breaks, and too much ofour nation's wealth is tied up inthe hands of a tiny number ofpeoplewhoare toobusytospendit and stimulate the economy.

“We are recovering from therecession, and we need to avoidoverdoing the fiscal austeritywhichmade it last so long, like itdid after the Great Depressionin the early 1930s.”

N.F.

“I have not read or heard ofany company leaving or not lo-cating inOhiodue to theabsenceof a right to work law. The issueseems to be one of the impact onthe rights of a worker not wish-ing to join a union.

“If a worker is working in aunionized organization thatworker is probably paidwell forhis/her skills and posses skillsthat are in demand. Therefore,that worker can choose to workelsewhere,sayinanon-unionen-vironment.

“In a time when the pay dif-ferential between the averagehourlyworkerandtopcorporatemanagement continues towidenwhy even raise the issue?

“Why try to find another wayto make life difficult for the av-erage paid person?

“We have been decreasingthe size of the middle class andincreasing the size of the lowerclass in our country by export-ing jobs. Let's not find anotherway to make life difficult.”

I’ve thought this through.When I chose to move to Deupree House in 2009 I didn’t make that important decision based on

some “special deal”. I made it because living at Deupree House is the real deal. An incredible staff,

over 60 years of experience, and I’ll never be asked to leave for financial reasons. After all,

when you’re looking for value over the long term, you get what you pay for.

Contact Gini Tarr at 513.561.4200 or visit www.episcopalretirement.com/decisionguide

We provide the options, you make the choices.

Deupree House in Hyde Park is a community of Episcopal Retirement Homes.

Talk about multi-task-ing. I was writing thiscolumn when my hus-band, Frank, called outfrom the garden to in-

spect therows ofcorn.

“It’scoming upspotty,” hesaid, andblamed therobins forpluckingseedlingsout of theground.

While I was out, Idecided to pot up some ofMom’s peppermint toplant around her and myDad’s graves for Memo-rial Day. Then I wentback in to finish my col-umn. Ten minutes later Igot called out again, thistime to plant another rowof potatoes. So it hasbeen one busy morning.I’m not complaining be-cause I know the little bitof planting we’re doingnow will morph into anabundant harvest.

Today’s column couldbe called “the restaurantissue,” since the recipesshared are from famouseateries.

Opera cream cake“like” Knotty Pineon the Bayou

A few years ago, aWestern Hills readershared her version forthis customer favoritefrom Knotty Pine Restau-

rant in Kentucky. “Soclose you won’t be able totell the difference,” shesaid.

Christine V. is just thelatest of readers whocontinue to request therecipe, so I finally madeit myself. After tasting it,I wondered why I waitedso long! I made a fewchanges dependent uponwhat ingredients I had.Those are in parentheses.You choose which ingre-dients appeal to you.

Don’t be put off by thelist of instructions, thecake comes togethereasily and would be per-fect to tote to that Memo-rial Day picnic. Becauseit’s baked in a jelly rollpan, it isn’t a real highriser, and is very moist.The browned butter icingelevates it into the kindof cake that begs for “onemore bite.”

Howmany does itserve? I got 16 servingsand could have gottenmore.

CakeWhisk together and

set aside:

2 cups sugar2 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Bring to boil:

2 sticks margarine (I usedunsalted butter)

1 cup water4 tablespoons unsweetenedcocoa powder

Cool, then add sugar,flour and salt mixture,and blend well.

Then beat in:

2 large eggs1⁄2 cup sour cream (plus 1teaspoon vanilla)

1 teaspoon baking soda

Batter will be thin.Pour into sprayed jelly-roll pan and bake in pre-heated 400 degree oven20 minutes.

Icing:Boil until golden:

11⁄2 sticks butter (I usedunsalted)

This is what I callbrowned butter: Cook inpan over medium heatuntil butter boils andbegins to turn golden. Itwill foam up a bit. Becareful as it can burneasily. It’s done whenbutter turns tan color andyou see specks of lightgolden brown on bottom.

This takes a fewminutes.Remove from heat rightaway, stir browned bitsin and pour into bowl tocool.

To cooled brownedbutter, add and beat untilfluffy (it will look lumpyat first):

1pound powdered sugar2 teaspoons vanilla6-8 tablespoons whippingcream (I used evaporatedmilk)

Spread on cooled cakeright in pan. Store inrefrigerator.

Tip from Rita’sKitchen

A jelly roll pan (about10 inches by 15 inches) isbigger than a cookiesheet and has sides.

Kayla Dunlap’sCarrabba’s dippingoil/sauce

Kayla, a Fort Thomasreader, shares a goodrecipe for this dippingoil. She said: “Bonnieasked for help finding arecipe similar to Carrab-ba’s. Here’s one I haveused.”

1 tablespoonminced basil1 tablespoon choppedparsley (Italian is best)

1 tablespoonminced garlic1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon dried oregano1 teaspoon ground blackpepper

1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1⁄2teaspoon ground sea salt

1⁄2 teaspoon choppedrosemary

1⁄4 teaspoon crushed redpepper flakes

1⁄2 teaspoon olive oil (Plusadditional 3-4tablespoons)

1⁄8 teaspoon fresh lemonjuice

Combine all of theingredients, except oiland lemon. Put in a smallfood processor. Chopbriefly until all ingredi-ents are about the same.Stir in oil and lemonjuice. To serve: Combineabout 11⁄2 teaspoons spiceblend to 3 to 4 table-spoons additional oliveoil on a small dish.

It can be scary gettingcalls from bill collectors.But it can be even scarierif the calls are comingfrom fake bill collectors.

Manymake it sound asif you’re going to be ar-rested unless you paythem now. But if youknowwhat to expect, youcan handle it without aproblem.

Larry Brondhaver ofAnderson Township saidhe received such a callrecently.

“I was told there’sgoing to be papers deliv-ered to me by the sheriff.They tried twice to deliv-er the papers and nobodywas here they said. ‘Will

there besomeonethere in thenext 48hours toreceivethese pa-pers? I’vegot to de-liverthem.’ Hesaid we

have to make an appear-ance if we don’t. I said,‘An appearance? Where?’He said, ‘In court’,”Brondhaver said.

Then Brondaver wastold he could call Martinand Associates in Cali-fornia for more specificson the debt, which is

allegedly owed by hisson. “They want me tomake a payment, andthey want it for him. It’sfor a bill he supposedlyowes to U.S. Bank,” hesaid.

Brondhaver then didsomething everyoneshould do. He asked forproof of the debt, alleged-ly owed by his son. Soon,he received a letter in themail. “It says they wantto settle with you for lessthan what you owe, ofcourse. For my son theywant $352 processing feenow, right now. That feewill carry over for anoth-er month,” he said.

Brondhaver talked

with his son about thisand said, “What really gotmy son was they knewthe last four numbers ofhis Social Security num-ber. They knew the lastfour numbers, and theyhave his U.S. Bank ac-count number.”

A close look at thatletter shows it’s not froma real debt collector.Under federal law debtcollectors must use spe-cific language in theseletters saying, “This is anattempt to collect a debt.”In addition, they muststate you have 30 days tosend a written statementdisputing the debt. Thatlanguage wasn’t in the

letter send to Brondha-ver.

“Luckily there was nomoney sent, but my con-cerns are people that will.These guys are very,very dramatic. Every-body in the office is verydramatic. They say,‘You’ve got to do this now,or else’,” Brondhaversaid.

A U.S. Bank spokes-woman tells me the bankdoesn’t know anythingabout Martin and Asso-ciates, adding this firmwas not hired by the bankto collect its debts.

So I calledMartin andAssociates and asked whothey are working for, but

they wouldn’t answerthat.

There are lots of com-plaints about this compa-ny on the Internet. Allsay the company claimsto be collecting on behalfof U.S. Bank. The FederalTrade Commission saysyou should never confirmor give a caller your per-sonal or financial in-formation.

May is Older Ameri-cans Month and thisyear’s theme is “Unleashthe Power of Age.”

The focus on power isan opportunity to revisitone of the most frequentcauses of injury and evendeath toolderadults – fall-ing.

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Controland Prevention, one inthree adults age 65 andolder falls each year.Among this group, fallsare the leading cause ofinjury death. They arealso the most commoncause of nonfatal injuriesand hospital admissionsfor trauma. According to

the Ohio Hospital Associ-ation, in 2012 an olderadult was six times morelikely to be admitted tothe hospital from a fallthan amotor vehicle acci-dent.

Falls are also a signifi-cant driver of healthcarecosts, according to theCDC. Direct medicalcosts of falls totaledmorethan $30billion in 2010.Asour population ages, thesenumbers are likely to in-crease. Fall injuries alsolead to an increased bur-den on loved ones as inju-ries lead to loss of inde-pendence.

“Like many of the dis-eases and injury condi-

tions we deal with, fallsare largely preventable,”said Michael Tomes,Hamilton County PublicHealth educator. “Withpreparation, informationand education, we can re-duce the incidences offalls and ultimately, helpolder adults maintain ac-tive and fulfilling life-styles.”

The following are fivethings you can encouragemom or dad to do to pre-vent falls:

» Increase physical ac-tivity. Any physical activ-ity, like walking or swim-ming at least 30minutes aday can help buildmusclestrength and improve bal-

ance, which can preventfalls. Exercise programslike Tai Chi, Silver Sneak-ers and Water Aerobicsthat increasestrengthandimprove balance are es-pecially good.

» See an eye doctoronce each year. Age-relat-ed eye diseases, such ascataracts,maculardegen-eration and diabetic reti-nopathy, can increase therisk of falling. Early de-tection is key to minimiz-ing the effects of theseconditions.

» Help review your par-ent’smedications.Talk to adoctor or pharmacistabout the medicines yourparents are taking and

whether they may causedrowsiness or dizziness.Discuss ways you can en-sure medications are tak-en safely.

»Make home modifica-tions. Look around thehouse for anything thatcould increase the risk offalls, including poor light-ing, loose rugs, clutter,slippery floors and un-steady furniture. Removeor modify these hazards.Add a bathtub grab barand make sure that stairhandrails are secure.Temporary ramps canalso be installed in thehome entrance if stepsare too difficult.

» Think, plan and slow

down. Many falls arecaused by hurrying. Talkto your parents about tak-ing their time and think-ing through the taskbeingperformed. Bemindful ofrisks and act accordingly.Asimplemodificationcanbe moving the cordlessphone next to a favoritechair so it canbeaccessedwithout getting up.

Older adults can alsolower their risk of hipfracture by:

» getting adequate cal-cium and vitamin D fromfood and/or supplements;

» performing weightbearing exercises, and

» getting screened andtreated for osteoporosis.

OHIO - Today’s announcement by CompTekhas the FreeTVHotlines ringing off the hook.That’s because Cincinnati area residents who

find their zip code listed in today’s publication aregetting Free TV channels thanks to an amazingrazor-thin invention calledClear-Cast™.Cincinnati area residents who call the Toll

Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadlineto get Clear-Cast can pull in Free TV channelswith crystal clear digital picture and nomonthlybills.This announcement is being so widely adver-

tisedbecause aU.S. Federal lawmakesTVbroad-casters transmit their signals in digital format,which allows everyone to receive these over-the-air digital signals for freewith nomonthly bills.Here’s how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek

micro antenna devicewith advanced technologylinks up directly to pull in the Free TV signalsbeing broadcast in your area with crystal cleardigital picture and nomonthly bills.Clear-Castwas invented by a renownedNASA

SpaceTechnologyHall of Fame scientistwho cur-rently holds 23U.S. Gov’t issued patents. For thepast 20 years, he has specialized in developingantenna systems forNASA,Motorola, XMSatel-lite Radio and companies around theworld.His latest patent-pending invention, Clear-

Cast, is a sleekmicro antenna device engineeredto pull in the Free TV signals through advancedtechnologywith no cable, satellite or internet con-nection and nomonthly bills.“Clear-Cast is being released to the general

public because we just don’t think people shouldkeep paying forTVwhen they can get it for free,”said Conrad Miller, Manager of Operations atCompTek.“There’s never amonthly bill to pay and all the

channels you get with Clear-Cast are absolutelyfree. So you see, Clear-Cast is not like cable orsatellite. It was engineered to access solely theover-the-air signals that include all the top ratednational and regional networks, like ABC, NBC,CBS, FOX, PBS, CWand about 90% of themostwatched TV shows like America’s Got Talent,NCIS, 60Minutes, American Idol, TheBigBangTheory, The Bachelorette, Person of Interest,CSI, The Mentalist, Two and a Half Men, Sun-dayNight Football plus news, weather andmoreall for freewith nomonthly bills,”Miller said.“That’swhyClear-Cast is such a great alterna-

tive for everyone who is sick and tired of payingexpensive cable and satellite bills every month,”he said.“Peoplewho getClear-Castwill say it feels like

getting an extra paycheck everymonth. You see,with Clear-Cast you’ll receive free over-the-airbroadcast channelswith crystal clear digital pic-ture, not the cable or satellite only channels. Sobeing able to eliminate those channels puts all themoney you were spending back in your pocketeverymonth,”Miller said.And here’s the best part. The sleek micro

antenna device called Clear-Cast is so techni-cally advanced it pulls in evenmore of the chan-nels being broadcast in your area for Free withnomonthly bills.That way you can channel surf through the

favorite TV shows. The number of shows andchannels you’ll get depends on where you live.People living in large metropolitan areas mayget up to 53 static-free channels, while people inoutlying areas will get less. That means even ifyou’re in a rural area that just pulls inNBC,ABC,CBS, FOXandPBSbroadcasts there’s hundredsof shows each year towatch for free.Consumers report that the crystal clear pic-

ture quality with Clear-Cast is the best they’veever seen. That’s because you get virtually allpure uncompressed signals direct from thebroadcasters for free.Clear-Cast was engineered to link up directly

like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in alightweight, slim-line package. Its sturdy copperalloy and polymer construction will most likelyfar outlast yourTV.It just couldn’t be any easier to get Free over-

the-air digital TV showswithClear-Cast. Simplyplug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast on a win-dow pane and run autoscan. It works on virtu-ally anymodelTVand is easily hidden out of sightbehind a curtain orwindow treatment.Thousands of Cincinnati area residents are

expected to call to get Clear-Cast because it justdoesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TVwhen you can get hundreds of shows absolutelyfree.So, Cincinnati area residents lucky enough to

find their zip code listed in today’s publicationneed to immediately call the Free TV Hotlinebefore the 48-hour deadline to get Clear-Castthat pulls in Free TV with crystal clear digitalpicture. If lines are busy keep trying, all callswillbe answered.!

How It Works: Just plug it in to your TV and pull in Free TV channels in crystal clear digitalpicture with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills

! NEVER PAY A BILL AGAIN: Ohioans will be on the lookout for their postal carrier because thousands of Clear-Casts willsoon be delivered to lucky Cincinnati area residents who beat the 48-hour order deadline and live in any of the zip code areaslisted above. Everyone is getting Clear-Cast because it pulls in nothing but Free TV channels with no cable, satellite or internetconnection and no monthly bills.

Today’s announcement photo above shows just a handful of the major over-the-airbroadcast networks you can receive with Clear-Cast for free. It saves a ton of money by not picking up expen-sive cable only channels like ESPN so there’s never a monthly bill.
