Condensed, simple and clean were the keywords when discussing possibilities for signs along Beechmont Avenue.

University of Cincinnati students recommended changing signage regulations on the Beechmont Avenue corridor. They said Anderson Township should develop height, legibility and other requirements to better improve sight and safety. signs have a significant impact. “Many signs are blocked by others because of clustering,” he said. “They don’t serve their purpose ... and could be more effective.” Plaza signs with multiple business listings, such as the Ace Hardware sign, make it difficult for drivers to read and find a location, Williams said. He suggested using electronic signs in those areas to reduce clutter but still advertise businesses. UC student Cody Meyer said Beechmont Avenue has distinct business areas and suggested different sign regulations for each of the five districts. For example, he said, business-
es closer to Salem Road have different characteristics than those near Cherry Grove, and signage should be regulated accordingly. Utility poles also impede the view of business signs and Sam Sprague recommended moving utilities to a central median to reduce clutter. He said each business district could have color coded utility poles which would help drivers navigate the Beechmont Avenue corridor and find businesses easier. Changing the appearance of Beechmont Avenue would require a collaboration between Anderson Township and local businesses. “(The goal) is to establish
The University of Cincinnati students suggested dividing Beechmont Avenue into five distinct business districts and adjust signage regulations accordingly. They include: • Small Commercial Suburban, from Salem Road to Five Mile Road. These businesses are older structures, have smaller sizes and very little green space between the edge of the road and parking areas. • Local Office, on and around Five Mile Road. These businesses are two to four stories tall, have some landscaping and more organized parking areas. • Mixed Use Development, such as Anderson Towne Center. This area has organized building arrangements and parking, substantial landscaping and coordinated signage. • General Commercial, the majority of Beechmont Avenue. This area has a variety of businesses, haphazard building sizes and parcels, fragmented landscaping and signs of any size or shape. • Highway Big Box, eastern edge of the township, near Cherry Grove. These businesses often use single, large buildings with expansive parking, high pole signs and some landscaping. something that is more cohesive and easier to read,” Meyer said. Menelaos Triantafillou, the students’ professor, added that outside of tall, corporate signs and recognizable logos, most of the signs along Beechmont Avenue are not legible enough to be read by cars driving 40 miles per hour.
Newtown to buy new police cruisers By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
The Newtown Police Department will soon be riding in style, with the help of two new police cruisers. Newtown Village Council last week voted to approve the purchase of two new Dodge Charger police cars. The cost of the vehicles is approximately $52,000 and they should be delivered by the end of September. Councilman Ken Pulskamp said the village set money aside last year for the vehicles, and there are
already plans in place to sell the current cruisers that are to be replaced for approximately $23,000. The village’s new cruisers will Synan be new 2010 models, so when its time to replace them Newtown should be able to sell them for more than the typical used police car. Chief Tom Synan said the department’s cars are on a threeyear replacement plan.
In other news Here’s a look at some of the other topics of discussion during last week’s Newtown Village Council meeting: • Council approved the replacement of two sets of tires on village maintenance trucks. Councilman Ken Pulskamp said the village would replace one set each of the next two months. • Councilman Mark Kobasuk tabled a motion to pass a resolution opposing “The cars should be more valuable at the end of three years,” Pulskamp said. Along with the purchase of the new vehicles, Village Council also

He said he would wait until Councilwoman Tracy Hueber, who was absent from the meeting, was in attendance to vote on the resolution. • Mayor Curt Cosby called the village’s recent “Picnic in the Park” a success, with “hundreds” of residents making their way to Moundview Park for food, games and prizes. passed resolutions to allow for the cars to labeled as police vehicles and be outfitted with the necessary equipment.

Tracy Hueber is stepping down from her seat on the Newtown Village Council, and eight candidates are running for four spots. In Anderson Township, there are five candidates seeking to fill two spots on the Board of Trustees.

The Public Works Department previously performed oil changes on its vehicles, and those used by the administration and the fire department.

Anderson Township residents can be a little greener before the end of the year. The township and Forest Hills School District are cosponsoring a series of
“Green Landscaping” workshops in September and October. Steve Sievers, director of the township’s Development Services Department, said the idea grew from a planning study conducted by University of Cincinnati

students. The students gave some technical, but educational, tips to the township on how to better manage storm water. “The recommendations … show what you can do on a case-by-case basis to improve storm water and how we treat our environment,” Sievers said. Popularity of recycling centers and compost bin sales in Anderson Township also planted the seed for the environmentally friendly workshop series. Experts from the Cincinnati Zoo, Green City Resources, the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District and other organizations will host the five-class series that begins Wednesday, Sept. 16. Topics include rain gardens, contour planning, water harvesting, soil testing, composting and lawn care. “We’re seeing people who are more in tune with what is going on with their environment,” Sievers said. “If individual homeowners start doing these across the board, you could begin to change the situation.” A special rain garden design workshop will be conducted Saturday, Oct. 17.

The Anderson Youth Wildcats are conducting the fourth annual Willis G. Seaman Memorial Invitational Bowl, Sunday, Sept. 6, at Anderson High School’s Brown Stadium. The Wildcats football program are reaching out to the community to secure funds to continue the legacy of the bowl. Willis became an Anderson Youth football Icon because of the many years of being a dedicated football coach for his sons, grandsons, and many other young boys. Willis’s primary goal was to teach young boys the basics of football, giving everyone a chance to play regardless of their natural ability. Serving as a role model for new and future coaches as well as supporting their needs was his goal. Contributions will go to present all players, cheerleaders, and coaches of the invited teams, a small token of some kind in honor of Willis G. (Bill) Seaman. Checks can be made payable to Anderson Youth Football, and in the memo: Willis Seaman Memorial Fund. Mail to: Anderson Youth Football, c/o P. Busacco, 436 Heathgate Road, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45255.

Wins set up Turpin-McNick match in week 2 By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
Local football fans celebrated a trio of wins during the season’s first week as Anderson, McNicholas and Turpin high schools all started the 2009 campaign at 1-0. Anderson hosts Woodward High School (0-1) for week two at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4. Woodward lost to Badin, 30-8, during week one. The local rivals from McNick and Turpin square off in week two during the Spartans’ home opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4.
Turpin 34, Loveland 17
The rivalry between Turpin and McNick heats up Friday, Sept. 4, with the first football game between the teams in five years. Both squads performed well in week one and aim to start the season at 2-0. “They run the veer well and they possess the ball,” Turpin head coach Rob Stoll said of the Rockets. “I’m very impressed with their team. They are a well coached football team and they get after the ball.” Turpin senior Wayne Dunham scored early and often during the Spartans’ win in week one over Loveland, 34-17. Less than five minutes into the game, Dunham scored his first touchdown of the season on a 24-yard run to give Turpin a 7-0 lead. Turpin increased its lead to 14-0 on a five-yard touchdown run from Dunham with 10:54 remaining in the second quarter. The Spartans entered halftime with a 21-0 lead after senior Jeff Groene hauled in a 31-yard touchdown reception from junior quarterback Eric Martin. “For the most part I was very happy. I felt like out kids traveled well,” Stoll said. “They came out very intense and maintained it for most of the game.” Groene had two catches in the game for 41 yards. Averaging 10.1 yards a carry, Dunham rushed for

Winton Woods, ranked No. 1 in the Division II-VI poll, lost to the Moeller Crusaders, 45-34, during week one. 192 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries. “He’s a senior and a special back so we are definitely going to rely on him a lot,” Stoll happily said of Dunham’s 192-yard performance. Stoll was also quick to praise the strong play of offensive linemen Chris Kanoza (junior center) and Chris Cooper (senior guard), the coach said. Turpin led Loveland by a 34-7 margin until late in the game. The Tigers scored 10 of its 17 points during the final five minutes of the fourth quarter. Defensively, Turpin was led by senior middle linebacker Matt Kelly. Kelly racked up nine solo tackles in the contest. “Overall they were getting to the ball very well and making Loveland earn everything they got,” Stoll said of Turpin’s defense. The Spartans entered the season ranked No. 2 in Cincinnati, according to the Enquirer’s Division II-VI preseason poll.
McNicholas 28, Indian Hill 21
The unranked Rockets don’t have any time to rest after besting a ranked opponent in week one. Yet another ranked foe awaits McNick in week two and this time its a rival as the Rockets travel to face No. 2 Turpin (1-0). Junior quarterback Matt Staubach provided the Rockets with all of its scoring during McNick’s weekone win over No. 6 Indian Hill, 28-21. Both Turpin and Indian Hill rankings are based on the Enquirer’s Division II-VI preseason poll. Staubach accounted for four rushing touchdowns while running for 105 yards on 16 carries. The quarterback also completed 2-of-4 passes for 80 yards. With 6:42 remaining in the third quarter, Staubach charged into the end zone for the fourth and final time on an eight-yard run capping a 79-yard drive.

Local high school boys’ soccer kicks off season By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
The high school soccer season has kicked off. Here’s a look at the local squads:
Anderson
The loss of 13 seniors to graduation following the Redskins’ 2008 campaign leaves 16th-year head coach Brian Sullivan with a rather inexperienced group this fall. Led by its large core of seniors, Anderson finished at 7-6-5 last fall. A quartet of starters return for Sullivan including senior Logan Gumbert, senior Daniel Lees, junior Matt Greer and sophomore Tyler Gumbert. Greer finished with 25 points last season including nine goals and seven assists. Only 2009 graduate Jake
McDonald was more productive for the Redskins last fall. McDonald scored 39 points including 16 goals and seven assists. Alongside McDonald, four of Anderson’s 2009 graduates were named to the first team of the All Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division squad last fall. The Redskins took third place in the FAVC Buckeye Division last season at 3-11 behind first-place Milford (17-1-3, 5-0) and secondplace Loveland (10-7-3, 31-1). “This is a young, talented group that works very hard each day (and) could surprise teams that overlook us,” Sullivan said via email. Sophomore Dominic Yario looks to make immediate contributions as a key new addition for the Redskins.
Anderson opens FAVC Buckeye Division play at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, with a home game against Winton Woods. The Redskins host its local rivals from Turpin at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Anderson hosts Highlands at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, to complete the three-game home stand.
McNicholas
The McNicholas High School boys’ soccer team went 11-2-5 in 2008 and secured its second straight GCL crown. The Rockets will look to make it three in 2009 as McNick returns a number of talented players from that team. Some of the top players to watch will be junior defender Kevin Easley, junior midfielder Austin Pierce, senior forward Andrew Sherman, senior goalkeeper
Austin Reid and sophomore defender John Sandman. Head coach Tony Ripberger, in his first year at the helm, said the team’s experience would be a key to the Rockets’ success in 2009. “This team returns a lot of players who played big minutes last season,” he said. “That experience will be a big help and the tough schedule should help prepare the team for another playoff run.” Mark Chalifoux
Turpin
Eight returning starters and the confidence derived from losing only one regular season contest in 2008 gives Turpin High School third-year head coach Jamie Harloff plenty to work with this fall. Turpin finished at 10-2-7 last season including a 2-1 record in the Division I tour-
nament. But draws got the best of the Spartans in the FAVC Cardinal Division. Turpin finished second in the FAVC Cardinal Division despite not losing a conference game while finishing at 3-0-2. Walnut Hills (12-3-2) took first place in the FAVC Cardinal Division at 4-0-1. Harloff is 21-6-9 overall at Turpin and hopes to continue the winning ways this fall. “With eight starters returning from last year’s team that only lost one regular season game, the hope is to build off that success,” Harloff said via e-mail. “(But) with a very tough schedule that success will be hard to duplicate.” Returning starters for Turpin include Alec Gates, Tim O’Neil, Mark Gierl, Alex Williams, Matt Moliterno, Joe Hovde, Cory Roberts
and Mike Petitgout. Hovde finished with 14 points including five goals and four assists in 2008. Petitgout netted two goals and five assists for nine points last fall. Gates finished second in the 18-team FAVC with 7.5 shutouts last season. The keeper was named to the first team of the All FAVC Cardinal Division squad. New additions Connor Uhl and Matt Lippowitsch will make immediate contributions. Turpin begins a series of five games on the road with a contest against Loveland at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3. The Spartans then travel to face McNicholas (Sept. 5, noon), Walnut Hills (Sept. 10, 7:30 p.m.), Anderson (Sept. 12, 7 p.m.) and Kings (Sept. 17, 7 p.m.). Turpin finally returns home to host Milford at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21.
Forest Hills area girls ready to contend aamorini@communitypress.com
The high school soccer season has kicked off. Here’s a look at the local squads:
Anderson
Seven returning starters provide experience for Anderson despite the fact the Redskins’ program waved good-bye to 12 seniors at the end of its successful 2008 campaign. Led by its senior core (2009 graduates), Anderson finished at 13-4-2 last season while winning a Division I sectional championship. Many of the 2009 graduates contributed big numbers for Anderson last fall including Liz Miller (25 points with nine goals, seven assists), Sam Toepfer (16 points with five goals, six assists) and Dana Dalrymple (13 points with four goals, five assists). Statistically speaking, senior midfielder Alyssa Kozak is the Redskins’ top returning scoring threat after contributing six goals in 2008. Alongside Kozak, additional returning starters for Anderson include senior Kelsey Borowitz (keeper), junior Alina Tilford (midfielder), junior Christi Howard (defender), junior Mary Dulle (defender), senior Rachel Jacoby (midfielder) and sophomore Kelsey Toepfer (defender). Borowitz finished with seven shutouts in 2008 to rank second in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division. “It’s going to be hard to replace 12 seniors from last year’s team. But so far, this year’s team has taken the attitude that they are going to make their mark and prove to everyone they are a good team,” fifth-year head coach Bil Miller said via e-mail. “Playing with a chip on their shoulder should allow this team to be
very competitive with most everyone in the city.” A trio of new additions including junior Abby Creighton (forward), sophomore Sydney Loesing (forward) and sophomore Megan Dalton (midfielder) will immediately contribute for Anderson. The Redskins finished second in its FAVC Buckeye Division in 2008 with a conference record of 4-1. Milford won the FAVC Buckeye Division championship at 5-0 in the league with an overall record of 16-2-1. During the 2008 regular season, Milford bested Anderson, 1-0, and locked down a conference championship for the Eagles. But Anderson rebounded to eliminate Milford from the 2008 tournament with a 2-0 win for the Redskins. Anderson plays 12 games before facing Milford late in the season. The Redskins travel to face Milford at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6. Anderson hosts Sycamore at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, before traveling to face Walnut Hills at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. The Redskins launch into FAVC Buckeye Division play with a home game against Glen Este at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8.
McNicholas
The McNick girls’ soccer team returns some strong talent from an 11-8-1 2008 team and seems to be poised for another GGCL title in 2009 for first-year head coach Karen Wood. McNick returns senior goalkeeper Carrie Martin, who was the Grey Central Division’s player of the year in 2008. Seniors Evann Farrell and Morgan Rice are both first-team All-GGCL players along with junior Tricia Walsh. Senior Sabrina Smyth is a second-team All-GGCL player who should be another key contributor for McNick.

“The kids are all hard workers,” Wood said. “Our back line and goalkeeper should be very strong.” Mark Chalifoux
Turpin
The Spartans look to win the third- consecutive FAVC Cardinal Division title this fall with a trio of longtime starters leading the way. Seniors Lauren Drosick, Natalie Starr and Jenny Berger are all captains for Turpin and will be tasked with controlling the middle of the field in 2009. Drosick, a fourth-year starter, and Starr, a thirdyear starter, team up as midfielders. Berger, also a fourth-year starter, anchors the Spartans’ defense. Starr recently verbally committed to the Division I collegiate soccer program at the University of Kentucky. “Our goals every year are to win our league, finish in the top five in the city and advance deep into the tournament,” head coach Larry Chialastri said via email. “If we can avoid the injury bug and get a good bounce or two, we feel this team could turn some heads this year. “Our three captains will lead us,” Chialastri added. Starr provided 13 points for Turpin in 2008 including three goals and seven assists. Drosick netted 11 points with four goals and three assists. A total of seven starters return for Turpin including Drosick, Berger, Starr, junior Jaimie Richards, junior Stephanie Valenti, sophomore Ellie Tillar and sophomore Ashley Long. Richards contributed nine points (four goals, one assist) last fall and was followed closely by Valenti’s total of eight points (two goals, four assists). Chialastri also expects to see immediate contributions for a number of newcomers including junior Abby Her-

tel, junior Hanna Kohls, junior Sarah Uhlenbrock, sophomore Ava Biesenbender and freshman Anna Cornachionne. Turpin finished at 9-7-2 overall in 2008 while posting a 5-0 record in the FAVC Cardinal Division to win a league title. Little Miami (14-3-2, 31-1) and Kings (7-7-3, 3-11) finished the 2008 season in a tie for second place in the FAVC Cardinal Division. Turpin travels to face Lakota East at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3. The Spartans then return home to host its local rivals from McNicholas High School at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. In the middle of the Spartans’ three-game home stand, Oak Hills travels to face Turpin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9. Turpin hosts Ohio’s twotime defending Division I state champions from Saint Ursula Academy at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.

Do you think legalizing casino gambling will hurt charitable events and fundraisers such as Monte Carlo nights and church festivals? “Nobody knows if Casinos will hurt chairitable events because nobody knows who to believe. Casino opponents say because the proposed constitutional amendment expressly allows bingo, lottery games and horse-race betting, any other form of gambling in Ohio would automatically be banned if Ohio voters approve Issue 3. On the other side you have former Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken (the new poster boy for allowing casino’s) saying that Casino’s in Ohio will not restrict charitable gambling, including church festivals. So how do we answer this question without knowing what is true and what is false? Let’s say that Church festivals and Las Vegas nights can still have gambling if issue 3 passes. If that’s the case, then no, they will not suffer at all. These events only occur a few times a year, and only a handful of people go to church festivals with the sole purpous of gambling. Those people will continue to stay local and play at the festivals. But if issue 3 does in fact make chairitable gambling illegal, then yes, churches and other fundraising groups will suffer big time. An analysis by the Enquirer last month found that summer Roman Catholic parish festivals generate $12 million in revenue in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. That number will greatly reduce if they are unable to operate casino games. So there is no right or wrong answer to this question because we don’t know how to answer it. I for one hope issue 3 passes and churches can keep their gambling. But if they can’t I’m ok with that too. I only gamble a few times a year. But I would like the option of going whenever I want and not having to wait for summer festivals. And I would like to do this without having to spend my money in Indiana. The Catholic church is the richest most powerfull business in the world. They will find a way to survive.” T.Z. “Most people attend church bingo, Monte Carlo nights and church festivals for social reasons. These events are local and gambling is secondary. People who want to gamble in casinos want to gamble, not socialize and they are willing to travel a distance to do it. I believe the effect will be small.” F.D. “It is interesting to reflect on the metamorphosis of gambling in the U.S. during my lifetime. When I was a kid, lottery tickets were an evil no-no (though illegal numbers games thrived in urban areas). The only place a person could gamble outside his home was at church festivals, church bingo games, and

Oh, and there were those inexplicable anomalies like Beverly Hills, in northern Kentucky, where somehow casino gambling, though illegal, could go on. As in so many other areas of life, once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no going back. Casino gambling is probably going to continue to grow, unless the economy gets so bad that the people who patronize casinos can no longer afford it. I have a nonscientific hunch that the people who gamble at booths at festivals are of a different breed than those who go to the casinos, however. I suspect that those festivals will continue to thrive, even if casino gambling spreads to more places.” Bill B. “I’m not a gambler and am definitely not in favor of Casino’s in our area, but I really don’t believe, even if they are approved, that casinos will have an impact on small venues that include gambling. I suspect that people believe in and support their local charities and will continue in that effort. There is a personal camaraderie and community spirit that these events provide over and above the gambling component. L.D. “I don’t think casino gambling will hurt church festivals and charitable events, as these are limited events and draw their own patrons who are loyal to the organization or cause, but I do think casino gambling will do widespread and serious harm to our society. Casino gambling does not benignly create wealth or profit; it takes money from those who are often least able to afford it. Gambling addiction is real, and on the rise - a problem that brings untold misery to families affected by it. I am firmly opposed to casinos and slot machines at racetracks and other venues.” J.B. “The casinos in Indiana are 2030 minutes away from the Cincinnati area. They are not affecting local charitable events and fundraisers here or there. “Those casinos bring in large tax revenues to Indiana and their local communities. Ohio could be reaping those same tax revenues and helping itself out of the tax shortfall it currently has. “The guess here is Cincinnati will have the tax drain of two stadiums while Kentucky joins Indiana with enhanced gaming capabilities. So then even MORE Ohioans can spend their money in adjoining states. Go figure!!!” T.D.T.

Safety of drinking water supply is being threatened The Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) has failed to properly address the threatening situations that three existing sewage treatment plans have on the safety of our drinking water supply both now and in the future. One, the New Richmond Wastewater Treatment Plant has a design capacity of approximately one million gallons per day. According to The Safe Drinking Water Act that went into effect during November 1996, any new significant sewage discharge must be at least 25 miles upstream from municipal water intakes. The New Richmond Wastewater Treatment Plant went into operation during August 1996 and its sewage discharge point is located only 11 miles upstream from the GCWW water intakes. No complaints or concerns were ever filed by the GCWW regarding the treatment plant not being beyond the required 25mile limit. Two, the Nile Mile Creek
Regional Waster Water Treatment Plant went into operation in 1983, long before The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 went into effect. John W. Its sewage Harrison discharge is located approxiCommunity mately only six Press guest miles upstream columnist from the GCWW water intakes. In 2000, capacity upgrades were performed at the treatment plant. Design capacity is approximately 4.74 million gallons per day. Any upgrade would have required state and federal permits. No complaints or concerns were ever filed by the GCWW regarding the capacity upgrade permits. Three, the New Eastern Regional Wastewater Treatment
Plant constructed by Kentucky Sanitation District No. 1 was placed into operation during October 2008. Its sewage discharge point on Brush Creek is only 16 miles upstream from the GCWW water intakes. This huge treatment plant has the design capacity of 8 million gallons per day. This treatment plant was allowed by a court decision to locate in within the 25-mile restricted limit imposed by The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996. A lawsuit filed by the GCWW was unable to convince the courts otherwise. I believe that the past practice by the GCWW of not ever filing complaints or concerns regarding the New Richmond Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Nile Mile Creek Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant definitely influenced the court in their decision against GCWW. John W. Harrison lives in Anderson Township.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Permit shouldn’t be approved
In regards to the hearings being conducted by the Anderson Township Board of Zoning Appeals on the permit application of Martin Marietta Materials for an underground limestone mine, we people of Anderson Township should let the officials know not to approve the permit. People of Mariemont, Terrace Park, etc., appear to be more vocal. If it isn’t the underground mining operations that will affect us, it will be the above-ground crush-
ing and grading operations creating dust that will affect our health and pollution of property, traffic congestion by an increased number of trucks, plus additional road maintenance is something we do not need. The Hamilton County commissioners have resolved that it should be disallowed. An attorney for Martin Marietta has stated that the county should not be voicing their opinion. Why not? This is in Hamilton County! Also, Mr. Jack Pflum, a plan-
ning expert, has testified that the area can be best utilized with other development. That development, coupled with the proposed Eastern Corridor Transportation Project, will generate “cleaner” and more “net” revenues for the township. Please correspond with Anderson Township officials that this permit application should not be approved. The citizens of the township do not need this aggravation. Robert G. Willard Gungadin Drive Anderson Township
More questions from the 2009 Greater Anderson Days During the recent Anderson Days Festival, one of the top concerns of Anderson residents was property taxes. Specifically, they wanted to know why their taxes were so high and what could we do about it. First, a little background. Anderson derives about 80 percent of its operating revenue from property taxes, yet receives only 16.6 percent of all property taxes you pay. The rest goes to the Forest Hills Schools (54 percent), Hamilton County (23 percent) and special levies such as parks (3.7 percent), Joint Vocational School District, etc., (7.4 percent). We do also receive about $5.2 million in TIF (Tax Increment Financing) funds each year that can only be spent on capital improvements. TIF does not raise taxes, but captures revenues from the county and other entities for Anderson. This is for a specified period of time (until 2023) and is limited to increases in TIF property valuations. Anderson ensures that the school revenues are not affected. Please note that townships cannot impose sales or income taxes and must seek direct voter approval for any property
tax levies. By state law, the county auditor must re-evaluate properties every three years, but that does not mean that all valuaAl Peter tion increases result in more Community taxes. Press guest Only the first columnist two mills (20 percent) of Anderson’s taxes are indexed to valuation. Thus, most of our tax revenues are fixed at the initial levy amounts for the duration of the levy. So what does this all mean? First, only about 20 percent of any valuation increase results in higher taxes, while all property improvements and additional levies increase your taxes. Even so, Anderson has one of the lowest tax rates among unincorporated areas (townships) in Hamilton County. Since 2000 we have only asked for one levy, to continue funding for safety services, which passed by a substantial margin in 2008. We anticipate that this

levy should suffice for five or more years. Note that because levy dollars are fixed, and expenses increase, we must periodically ask for additional levy funding, if services are to be maintained. No tax levies are anticipated by Anderson Township over the next several years (Anderson Parks and Forest Hills Schools have their own levies). In Anderson, we are doing many things to avoid tax increases: Closely monitoring expenses, using TIF funds for capital projects and to stretch levy dollars, by seeking grants for capital projects, and by charging for services and rentals to maintain the Anderson Center. Yet we will still continue the levels and high quality of services such as fire, EMS, police and road maintenance that our residents have come to expect. In these days of rising costs, we probably will not be able to lower taxes without reducing or eliminating services or capital improvements, such as the Trails Program, but we won’t have to ask for more levy dollars for quite a while. Al Peter is president of the Anderson Township Board of Trustees.

Dentist puts patients first at his practice Dr. Michael Ress didn’t set out to be a dentist. “I’m the exception to the rule,” he said. Ress waited until the second semester of his senior year in college to make the move from pre-med to dentistry. Now, business is booming at his Anderson Township dental office. “We’re a very patientcentered practice,” he said. “We make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed.” Making patients feel at home was a driving factor behind the recent office remodeling. Office manager Lori Stitt said they completely gutted the interior, which gave the exam rooms and waiting area an open, flowing feeling. They added a wheelchair ramp and moved the exit to the back of the building. Patients have enjoyed the changes, Stitt said,

Children in the Anderson Meadows neighborhood begin the bike portion of a triathlon that raised more than $1,200 for an Ethiopian orphanage.
Anderson Township family adopts two Ethiopian children By Lisa Wakeland
lwakeland@communitypress.com
Good news comes to those who wait and the Roaches waited more than a year for a phone call. Now, in just a few months, the Anderson Township couple will have two adopted children from Ethiopia, in eastern Africa. “I am just thrilled because you wait so long to see their faces,” Kristin said. “It’s just humbling and amazing.” “Adoption has been on my heart forever. We have three biological sons, but after our youngest was born I never felt like our family was complete” Their journey began in March 2008 at a Steven Curtis Chapman concert when he gave a grant to a local family who adopted a child from Ethiopia. The Roaches learned more about the process from an adoption booth at the concert and any reservations they had melted away. “We could provide for them and had the space, so the question became ‘Why shouldn’t we?’ and we started rolling from there,” Doug said. Kristin said they decided to adopt from Ethiopia because the AIDS crisis has left a large number of orphans in the country. After building a profile for the adoption agency and filing mountains of paperwork for the United States and Ethiopian governments, the Roaches waited for that phone call. While they waited to hear from the agency, neighbors began asking how they could help. Residents in the Anderson Meadows neighborhood got together and organized a minitriathlon for the children that raised more than $1,200 for the orphanage. Less than an hour before the triathlon began on Aug. 12, Doug and Kristin received the call; they would be bringing home two children. “There is not a better way to do this,” Doug said. With the money raised at the triathlon, the Roaches will go shopping with the neighborhood kids so they can pick out blankets or shoes for the orphans.

How do we deal with the unfairness of life? examples in someone else’s life was the example George Will wrote of years ago in Newsweek. It was about his son Jon, the oldest of four children. Jon had just turned 21 years old and his father characterized him as a happy and active young man. Yet a crucial fact was that Jon has Down syndrome. George wrote, “… this is a chromosomal defect involving degrees of mental retardation and physical abnormalities.” Then we wrote of his son’s condition words we might all remember, “Jon lost, at the instant he was conceived, one of life’s lotteries, but he was also lucky. “His physical abnormalities do not impede his vitality and his retardation is not so severe that it interferes with life’s essential joys – receiving love, returning it, and reading baseball box scores. Jon has seen a brother two years younger surpass him in size, get a driver’s
license, and leave for college, and although Jon would be forgiven for shaking his fist at the universe, he has been equable. I believe his serenity is grounded in his sense that he is a complete Jon and that is that.” George Will and his family evidently love son Jon very much. He approaches head-on the unfairness of life wrought in their own family, and for Jon, accepting the fact that, through no fault of his own, “Jon lost one of life’s lotteries.” It’s most probable that you and I have already lost some of life’s various lotteries, and may lose some more. Does that need to be an utter catastrophe? In fact, it is not winning all the lotteries that most tests our mettle. There’s a short prayer we might offer for ourselves when life’s unfairness gets in our face: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to
know the difference.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the

Moisture conditions in your house could be costly

The moisture is in the crawlspace underneath their house and it’s that moisture that attracts termites. Yet, the contract with the treatment company specifically excludes coverage if there’s moisture. “I didn’t know if we had moisture before or after. I had no idea because nobody ever said anything to us about moisture being in the crawlspace,” Debbie said. The termite treatment company had conducted inspections three times a year – but they were only checking a termite baiting system located in areas around the house. No one ever checked under the home, in the crawlspace where the termites had been found in the past. There is an access panel to the crawlspace right out back so no one has to be home for the inspectors to check. Debbie Harpring said she was quite surprised to learn termites are back and that they had done considerable damage to her home. This occurred even though she was supposed to get regular inspections. “I think that’s what the whole contract is about,

they’re supposed to inspect my home to make sure there were no termites – and that was never done,” she said. So I contacted the termite extermination company, which sent out an independent inspector. He found inactive termite mud tubes and signs of other destructive insects still in the crawlspace. He concluded moisture, as well as termites, caused more than $9,300 damage to the house. The termite treatment company told me it values its long relationship with the Harpring family and so has agreed to pay for the full amount of repairs – both from the termites and moisture – even though it is excluded from its contract. Bottom line, everyone should be aware of, and look

When you own a home, it’s always a good idea to get regular termite inspections to prevent possible infestation. But a Tristate couple who got termite treatment 10 years ago, and regular inspections since then, says they were shocked to find termites had returned with a vengeance. Debbie Harpring and her husband, Todd, had bought a termite inspection and protection plan and recently started remodeling their bedroom. “The contractor said, ‘What is that dip in your floor?’ We had to take everything out of the room. Todd said, ‘I don’t know, never noticed it – that’s where the bed has always been.’ They said well, we’ve got termites,” Debbie said. The termites were in the same spot back in 1999. At the time of that last treatment the Harprings had bought inspection and damage repair plans, so they called the termite treatment company. “The inspector came out and informed us right away it was not their problem, it was our problem because there’s too much moisture,” Debbie said.

Unfairness is such a part of the fabric of life Father Lou that the Guntzelman most noble Perspectives s p i r i t u a l leaders who have lived among us have all been treated unfairly. In fact, it contributed to their nobility. Are we to expect to be treated better than they? Do they not try to teach us how to transcend unfairness? One of the important questions we must ask ourselves at times – and which serves as an indicator of whether we’re becoming cynical through our experience of unfairness, or more whole – is, “How do I behave in the face of things I cannot change?

Sooner or later we know that life is not fair. It never was. It never will be. Though that fact infuriates us at times, we are powerless to change it. Rather, it presents us with the challenge of what to do with such a life or with the cynical attitude it often engenders. Even though we may be religious-minded people, God does not step in to make our lives fair. Earth is not heaven. Earth is not where all unfairness is righted. As analyst Robert A. Johnson puts it, “The world is not supposed to work. All it does effectively is produce consciousness.” It is to wake us up before we die. It is to create situations that can potentially form us by how we choose and how our egos deal with the inequities that surround us. Spiritually we are called upon to discover that life is a mystery and a paradox. We’re forged by it, formed

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
