MONTGOMERY — In the com-ing months, the city of Montgo-mery will be patrolled by somenew vehicles.

MontgomeryCityCouncil, at

its Feb. 6meeting, approved thepurchase of three new vehiclesfor the police department.

“(The department) pur-chases two or three vehicleseach year,” Sgt. Greg VondenBenken said. “This year, we aregetting two vehicles based ontheFordExplorerplatform,andanother Interceptor from theTaurus platform.”

The change to SUVs fromse-dans, Vonden Benken said, willprovide officers more room for

equipment like weapon mountsand electronic equipment.

Montgomery police sent twoofficers to Columbus,wherethey were able to do side-by-side comparisons of all policevehicles offered by auto manu-facturers, Vonden Benken said.

“The Ford vehicles, we feel,are the best vehicle forMontgo-mery,” Vonden Benken said. “Ithas a better overall package,

Bickfordsaid thatunless thepower goes out in the hospital,generators will be run onlyonce a week for an hour to testthem, and those tests could berun on a day where the windisn’t blowing toward the neigh-borhood. As for noise levels, headded that the township willtest those, and violations couldresult in the hospital losing itscertificate of occupancy.

Trustees and zoning com-mission members also took is-sue with the landscaping, con-cerned that it won’t block theenergy building enough be-cause will take several yearsbefore it’s grown together.Trustee Cliff Bishop said thenoise is a bigger matter.

“I’mmore concerned aboutnoise thannotbeingable tosee(the energy building),” hesaid.

The zoning commission ap-proved the case unanimously,with onemember recusing him-selfforconflictofinterest.Itrec-ommended that conditions re-garding landscaping mainte-nance and noise levels be set toprevent problems later.

The public hearing will bebefore the Board of Trustees’regular meeting March 7.

Residents will have theirchance to speak up about Jew-ish Hospital’s upcoming ex-pansion project.

Sycamore Township sched-uledapublichearingfor6p.m.Thursday, March 7, to reviewtheplans.Theproject includesbuilding a 10,500-square footenergy building along FrolicDrive and a 146,000-square-foot, six-story patient wing onGalbraith Road.

The biggest concern forresidents and trustees washow much noise the genera-tors and cooling towers in theenergy building would make.Greg Bickford, planning andzoning director/assistanttownship administrator, saidthat a noise study indicatedthat with the cooling towersand generators running, noiselevels wouldn’t exceed thepermitted decibels allowed bythe township at the building’sproperty line.

Several residents who at-tended the zoning commissionmeeting Feb. 11 didn’t appearto believe that noise levelswould fall within the permis-sable range, according to themeeting’s minutes. Questionsabout whether the buildingcould be moved to a “less of-fensive” location were raised,aswell as if residentswouldbe

This routine mainte-nance is important to as-

sure continued proper op-eration of hydrants. Exam-ples of the work to be per-formed on hydrantsinclude:

» flushing hydrants,whichwillcausesedimentand the water to discoloruntil the sediment settles;

» lubricating and oper-ating the hydrants;

» replacing worn parts;»weeding around hy-

drants, either by cuttingthe weeds or by use of achemical weed retardant.

Selected hydrants willbe flow tested, requiringlarge volumes of water tobe run during a longer

time to gather accuratereadings related to waterpressure and quantity.Residents are remindednot to position plantingsnear hydrants to obstructhydrants from view or toimpede access by fire-fighters in case of anemergency.

The fire departmentwill be placing yard signsnear street entrances toidentify the areas wheretheywill beworking. Res-idents living on thesestreets are advised to runwater in theirhomespriorto use until the water ap-pears clear. This is espe-cially important beforeusing water for drinking,bathing or laundering.

If residents find rust intheir laundry water, theycan go to the North FireStation (10647 KenwoodRoad) and ask for rust re-mover (supplied by Cin-cinnati Water Works).

Kenwood is one stepcloser to having a new ho-tel.

Sycamore Township’sBoardofTrusteesandres-idents hearda zoningcaseregarding a new hotel tobe built on MontgomeryRoad, near the FBI’s Cin-cinnati division building.Originally approved forseven stories and 160rooms, builders didn’tmove forward with theproject. Instead, plans fora five-story, 118-room ho-tel have replaced the orig-inal proposal.

Planning and ZoningDirector/Assistant Town-ship Administrator GregBickford said the zoningcommission approved thechanges to the proposalunanimously, grantingtwovariances to the town-ship’s code and listingseveral recommenda-tions.

Variances to the heightof the hotel and parkingrequirements were ap-proved, while the com-mission provided severalrecommendations re-garding items such asstorm water manage-ment, fire hydrant loca-tions and landscape buff-ers, Bickford said.

Bimal Patel, owner ofRolling Hills Hospitality,said his company is opento the recommendationsmade and believes the ho-tel “should be a top-notchlodging facility.”

JackPflum, co-chair ofthe Kenwood MeadowsCivic Association, said hewanted to “reaffirm sup-port of the project,” andbelieves both the zoningcommission and the trust-ees are on the right trackwith the project.

Trustees voted to pre-pare a resolution to ap-prove or reject the pro-posal, which could be vot-ed on at the next meetingFeb. 21.

Board of TrusteesPresident TomWeidmanadded to that, sayingthat property values aredown in the township,deepening the losses forthe general fund.

Flaska asked if therewas a way to raise prop-erty taxes on only busi-nesses, butMiller said iftaxes are raised, it’s onboth businesses and res-idences. Trustees Den-nis Connor said thateven if that were thecase, business ownersliving outside the town-ship wouldn’t have a sayeither.

“If you’re raisingproperty taxes, resi-dents would still be theones voting on it,” hesaid.

Flaska said he didn’tlike to see new taxesstarting, but Weidmansaid that the trusteesfelt the JEDZ are the“least offensive off allthe options.”

Sycamore Townshipresidents will vote onthe JEDZ issue at theMay 7 primary election.

Want more updates for Syca-more Township? Follow LeahFightmaster on Twitter:@LCFightmaster.

One Sycamore Town-ship resident took hisstance on the proposedjoint economic develop-ment zones straight tothe township.

Chris Flaska told thetrustees at their meet-ing Feb. 21 that he op-posed the JEDZ beingestablished in the Ken-wood area becausethose being taxed forthe zone are people whocan’t vote on the issue.Instead, he said, a prop-erty tax might be morefair.

JEDZ, or joint eco-nomic developmentzones, are agreementswith municipalities tocharge an income tax onemployees working inthose areas. The villageor city collects the tax,keeps a small portionand passes the rest onto

the township, which le-gally can’t collect an in-come tax. SycamoreTownship has agree-ments with Madeira andAmberley Village, pend-ing approval by Syca-more residents.

Flaska also askedwhy the new develop-ments in Kenwoodweren’t bringing inenough in property tax-es to cover the budgetshortfalls in the town-ship.

“I’m missing how wehave all this develop-ment ... and we’re miss-ing money,” he said. “Iwould think all thesebusinesseswould gener-ate enough revenue.”

Law Director DougMiller said that the lossof the estate tax, as wellas tangible personalproperty taxes and localgovernment funding,was more than the prop-erty taxes are raising.

The Hamilton CountySheriff’s Office just saidno to DARE.

It’s phasing out the na-tional Drug Abuse Resis-tanceEducationprogram.

DARE is a comprehen-sive drug and violenceprevention education pro-gram based upon a beliefthat the only way to com-bat drug abuse and addic-tion is through early edu-cation and prevention. It’sa cooperative effort be-tween local schools andlaw enforcement person-nel and has expanded tocombat substance abuse,but bullying, violence andgangs.

Major Tom Corbett,whooverseessupport ser-vices for the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office,said hewould talk to all 17of the schools where thesheriff’s office presentedDARE programs to tellthem about the phase-out.

Doug Alpiger, princi-pal of St. Vincent FerrerSchool inKenwood, thinksthe program has been agood fit for the school andsends the right messageto his students.

“I think the informa-tion shared with studentsis accurate and helpfulabout how to be drug-free,” he said.

While Alpiger said hehopes DARE doesn’t goaway permanently, if it

does, he might look intoother programs to fill thevoid.

Corbett said therewere a number of reasonsfor the sheriff’s office topull back on DARE.

He said cost is a factor.The sheriff’s office gets agrant of about $6,000 forthe program, but Corbettsaid costs were probablydouble that.He says a big-ger factor is staffing. Thesheriff’s office had threepeoplewhowere certifiedto teach DARE and he ex-pected that number toshrink to two. That’s notenough, and there is noone who has stepped upand said theywant to takethe training and do it.

“This is something youhave to want to do,” hesaid. “It’s not for every-body.”

Corbett and the newsheriff, Jim Neil, haveboth taught DARE. Cor-bett says he has to view itas a luxury now, and it’sone the sheriff’s officecan’t afford anymore.“We don’t have the peo-ple,” he said.

Last year, CincinnatiPolice Chief James Craigtook a similar step, put-ting all of the DARE offi-cers and the school re-source officers back onpatrol. Craig organized aboot camp program forchildren at risk and hadplans for other youth pro-grams for city young-sters.

Corbett said thecountymay look at other pro-grams, but right now,DARE is not a good fit forhis agency.

On Dec. 5, 24 German stu-dents, six parents and Germanteacher Linda Hoffman-Jeeptook the German HeritageTour inOver theRhine offeredby American Legacy Tours.

The two-hour walking tourcovers Cincinnati’s Germanimmigrants from the 1840s,when there were 45,000 ofthem living and working inOver the Rhine until they be-ganmoving out of the city dur-ing Prohibition.

Charming stories such asBuffalo Bill’s and Annie Oak-ley’s first encounter in Overthe Rhine, as well as talesabout theater crossbow shoot-ing stunts that went awry,share the stage with beer hallcelebrities like strongmanHenry Holtgrewe who fre-quented the Cosmopolitan, anindoor beer garden on VineStreet.

This “integrated” beer hall,that allowedSlavs, Italians andalso Irish on the premises, stillflaunts a huge wooden dancefloor, imposing stage (wherestrongman Holtgrewe wouldperform his famous back-lift-ing tricks) andoriginalwall dé-cor.

“We learned about the earlyyears of Republican politics in

Cincinnati when the idea forthe first World Series betweenthe well-established Nationaland buddingAmerican Leaguewas hatched in a German beerhall in OTR. There are otherCincinnati political strategiesthat evolved in the very samebeer hall,” Hoffman-Jeep said.

Climbing down way belowthe surface, they visited one ofabout 120 lagering tunnels forbeer below city streets andbuildings. These caverns arestill in excellent condition andthe history of how they wereused and then rediscovered inthe 1990s is a true highlight.

Lager is the type of beerthat was preferred by the Ger-man immigrants as opposed toBritish ale. Beer and the entireindustry surrounding it lay attheheartof theGerman-Amer-ican community in OTR.

“We ended our tour at St.Francis Seraph on the cornerof Liberty Street and Vine.There we visited the life-sizecrèche with a company of livesheep, goats and a donkey inone of several inner court-yards. The sanctuary itself isexquisiteandhidesasecretun-der the altar that you can dis-cover for yourself. The historyof the Austrian Franciscans

who came to Cincinnati, “ad-justing” their traditional Euro-pean habits to meet the de-mands of the American socialenvironment, is equally in-triguing.Agrand timewas hadby all,” Hoffman-Jeep said.

A publication of

Our legal system recog-nizes that people make mis-takes.

Even criminal convictionsshould not remain on yourrecord forever if the crimewas minor and you have ledan otherwise law abidinglife. To publicly seal yourcriminal record, you canapply for an expungement.

Ohio’s expungement lawchanged significantly lastSeptember to allowmorepeople to expunge their rec-ord. Under the old law onlyfirst time offenders wereeligible for expungement.The new law considers aperson eligible for an ex-pungement if they have ei-ther:

» one felony conviction;» one or two different

misdemeanor convictions, or» one felony conviction

and one misdemeanor con-viction.

Many crimes don’t qualifyfor expungement. Seriousfelonies, such as murder andrape, are obviously not eligi-ble. Some violent misde-meanors, like domestic vio-lence, as well as traffic of-fenses (even speeding con-victions) can’t be sealed.

A waitingperiod mustoccur beforeapplying forexpunge-ment: threeyears for afelony andone year fora misde-meanor. Thewaiting peri-od begins to

run once the offender hasbeen released from jail orprobation. Additionally, allfines and restitution fromthe earlier conviction musthave been paid in full andwarrants or pending chargesmust be closed.

To apply for expungementyou must first file for theprocess in the same courtwhere the conviction oc-curred. There is a $50 filingfee to expunge a criminalconviction. However, the feecan be waived if you areindigent. The judge thatheard the original case, orhis/her successor, will thenconsider your filing. Thejudge will determine wheth-er you are eligible by law. Ifyou are eligible but the pros-ecutor objects, he will weigh

your interest in clearingyour record against the gov-ernment’s interest in main-taining the record of convic-tion. He has the final dis-cretion to grant or deny theexpungement.

Many people are sur-prised that dismissedcharges appear on theirrecord. A person may applyto expunge these chargesregardless of the reason fortheir dismissal. There is nowaiting period, filing fee orlimit to the number of dis-missed charges that can besealed. However, chargesdismissed as part of a pleabargain cannot be expunged.Felonies ignored by thegrand jury can be sealedafter a two-year waitingperiod.

If you are interested inexpunging a criminal convic-tion or a dismissed charge,go to the Hamilton CountyClerk of Courts, Room112 ofthe Hamilton County JusticeCenter at 1000 Sycamore St.or call 946-6010 for furtherinformation.

Judge Brad Greenberg presides inHamilton County Municipal Court.He is a Loveland resident.

Feb. 20 questionHowwill theHorseshoeCasino,

scheduled to open March 4 indowntown Cincinnati, affect Cin-cinnati? Do you plan to patronizethe casino? Why or why not?

“Well I think thecasinowill fi-nally bring some of the vice thiscity has always been lacking. Ibelieve therewill bemore down-side than upside. The negativesocial toll casinos and gamblingtypically take on a communityusually outweigh thegains. Plus,no matter what the perceivedgains are, you cannever beat thehouse.

“I won’t go because gamblingdoesn’t have an intrinsic appealto me and the entertainment ordining at casino’s seem a bit toocorporate and cookie cutter tome. I’d rather spend an eveningat Arnold’s downtown listeningto local live music in a unique,only in Cincinnati, setting.”

I.P.

“How will the Horseshoe Ca-sino affect Cincinnati? No onecan really answer that with cer-tainty. There are arguments infavor of such establishmentsand against them.You can spendsome time researching articlesabout the impact of gambling es-tablishments in places like Indi-ana and Kentucky, but you mustbe careful that the reports aresubjective and unbiased.

“I have relatives and friendswhopatronizecasinos, and Icon-cede that this is their preroga-tive. Some of the commentariessay that tax revenues from casi-nos are very helpful to the localeconomy, but I don’t know howmuch of the taxes that are leviedon Horseshoe Casino will go ex-clusively to Cincinnati.

“My personal feeling is thatpeople should have a right to pa-tronize these places, but I alsothink it is naive to fail to admitthat they prey on the psycholog-ical weakness of compulsivegamblers. The same is true of al-coholic beverages, I suppose,and we saw what resulted fromattempts to outlaw alcohol.

“I’ve been to a couple of casi-nos in my life, and feel no desireto return. Some of the peopleplaying slots look like zombies.And there is an atmosphere ofsadness and compulsion that Isaw.

“Would I patronize the casi-no? No, because although I usedto enjoy certain kinds of gam-bling when I was younger (pull-ing tips, playing poker, etc ... )the ‘sport’ holds no appeal forme now.”

Bill B.

“I believe the Horseshoe Ca-sino will have a detrimental ef-fect on our city – it will suck outmoney that would have beenspent on necessities or on otherleisure activities such as sports,movies, cultural events. It willgive compulsive gamblers a toonear and present place to gam-ble.

“Based on reports from otherareas casinos do not encouragedevelopment or support otherbusinesses but attract pawnshops and check-cashing places.Based on a recent Enquirer arti-cle, drunk driving incidents willlikely increase.

“The building itself is a disap-pointment – a ‘big box’ with aglitzy facade and ugly sign;check out the view from GilbertAvenue.

“The negatives far outweighthe positives of new jobs andpossibly increased tourism. Iwill never patronize the casino.

“Hope it underperforms andis closed down soon. The spacecould be repurposed into a con-vention or event center or adowntown mall.”

J.R.B.

“Current news stories sug-gest the other major Ohio citieswhich already have casinos arenot producing as expected. Inthe case of Cincinnati the twonearby casinos in Indiana maycause the same disappointmentin the Tristate.

“There is a finite pool of gam-blers in our society and even aplush new casino in the down-town area could prove the gold-en goose of gambling cannot layenough eggs to solve the fiscalproblems of government.

“I am not a gambler so it’s notlikely I’ll visit theHorseshoeCa-sino. I consider gambling a viceanddonotbelieve it is proper forour government to encourage it.

“The basic premise of gam-bling is the operators of thegames of chance have control ofthe odds which guarantee theplayerswill lose. That iswhy theplayers are called gamblerswhile the operators have a surething.”

R.V.

“I seldom gamble, even whenI am in Las Vegas or on a cruiseship, although every now andthen I lose some money in slotmachines as I walk by them onthe way to a conference or con-vention.

“I would not take the time orenergy to go to the HorseshoeCasino as a destination unlessthere was some other reason tobe there. I hope all my friendsand neighbors visit often andplay until their eyes glaze over.

“Giventhewell-publishedodds,virtually all gambling is a taxwill-ingly paid by the mathematicallychallenged. Let thempay asmuchas they want and reduce govern-ment’s need to taxme.”

F.S.D.

“Although I have gambled inmy lifetime, I have never put adime into the slots and I don’tplan to start now just because acasino is in my backyard.

“I am glad that Ohio got overits stupidity and finally allowedgambling, but they will get noneof my money.”

The only reason wekeep chickens is to getfresh eggs.

I grew up eating eggsjust about every day,

especiallyon schooldays. Andeggs areso versa-tile. If Ihave eggsin therefriger-ator, I feellike I’vegot a meal,no matter

how lean the budget orhow bare the pantry.

Think about this: Eggsare all natural, and oneegg has lots of vitaminsand minerals with onlyabout 70 calories. Thenutrients in eggs canplay a role in weightmanagement, musclestrength, healthy preg-nancy, brain function,eye health and more.Eggs got a bad rap a fewyears ago but now healthprofessionals are backon the egg bandwagon –just don’t overdo eatingthem.

One of the first tablefoods we feed the babiesfor breakfast are eggs.The protein in eggs isthe highest-quality pro-tein found in any food.

Simple quicheSometimes we forget

about the really easymeals. Quiche is one ofthose. Most of us haveeggs, onions and cheeseon hand and those ingre-dients alone, with milkadded, make a deliciousquiche. When I want tomake the quiche special,I use whipping cream.Now be sure to mincethe onions very small sothey cook well. Other-wise, just sauté them in abit of butter until they’retranslucent before add-ing to the egg mixture. Igot the original recipe,before I adapted it, froma food magazine, butcan’t recall which one.

9- or 10-inch pie pan lined

with pie dough10-12 slices bacon, crisplyfried and crumbled(optional, but so good)

1 heaping cup shreddedSwiss cheese (or yourfavorite, try extra sharpcheddar)

1⁄3 cupminced onions4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 cups whipping cream, halfand half or milk

About 1 teaspoon salt and 1⁄2teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 350degrees.

Sprinkle bacon,cheese and onion in pan.Whisk eggs well andwhisk in cream and sea-sonings. Pour into pan.Pour mixture into piepan. Bake 45-60 minutesor until knife inserted 1inch from edge comesout clean.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute about 1 cupchopped ham or 1⁄2 poundcooked sausage for thebacon. A few dashescayenne pepper are goodin here. If crust brownstoo much before quicheis done, make a “collar”of foil around the crust.

Pineapple crunchcake

Don’t look for a highand fluffy cake here.

This is a moist, densecake that keeps well inthe refrigerator. Yes, it’seven better the next day.I’ve tweaked the recipethrough the years andnow add more vanillathan I used to. I like totoast my pecans in a 350degree oven for about 8minutes or so, until theysmell fragrant, beforechopping. You don’t haveto toast the nuts, though.Now if you don’t addnuts, just call it pineap-ple cake. This is a yum-my snacking cake.

2 large eggs, roomtemperature, lightlybeaten

2 cups sugar2 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking soda1 tablespoon vanilla1⁄2 to 1 cup chopped pecansmixed with a little of theflour (optional)

1 20 oz. can unsweetened,undrained, crushedpineapple

Extra chopped pecans forgarnish

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk sugar,flour and baking sodatogether. Add vanilla,eggs and pineapple andblend well. Stir in nutsPour into sprayed 9-inchby 13-inch pan. Bake inpreheated 350 degreeoven for 35-40 minutesuntil toothpick inserted

in center comes out fair-ly clean. Don’t overbake.Cool, and frost withcream cheese icing.Serves 12 generously.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

By tossing nuts with abit of flour, they willremain suspended in thecake and not sink to thebottom.

Cream cheese icing1⁄2 stick butter or margarine,softened

8 oz, cream cheese,softened

1 to 11⁄2 cups confectionerssugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

Beat butter andcream cheese. Add sugarand vanilla. Blend. Frostcooled cake. Sprinkle onnuts if using.

Natural disastersaround the country andhere in the Tristate areleading to higher insur-ance premiums.

Although the OhioDepartment of Insurancesays auto and homeown-er’s insurance rates areamong the lowest in thecountry, increases arecoming.

The Cincinnati Insur-ance Board tells me in-creases can be expectedfrommore and moreinsurance companies –and rate hikes up to 30percent are not uncom-mon.

Wanda Human ofReading said she had

been notic-ing herinsurancepremiumsgoing upfor thepast yearand a half.It beganwith herauto insur-ance.

“$341 every sixmonths was very satis-factory. I dealt with itwhen it went to $395every six months butwhen you go up to $514every six months, comeon that’s kind of ridicu-lous,” Human said.

Human called her

insurance agent and wastold it was due to Hurri-cane Sandy and the de-struction it caused on theeast coast. Human saidthat came as quite a sur-prise.

“I was told if a disas-ter happened in yourstate you could see therates going up in thatstate, but not the wholeentire United States ...The insurance agentexplained to me that shehad received many, manycalls about this. I said,‘Are a lot of people drop-ping you?’ and she said,‘Yes, they are.’”

In addition to her autoinsurance, Human says

she’s seen her homeown-er’s premiums going up.She had it renewed onceand has seen the premi-um go from $790 to $981 –almost a $200 increase –and that was even beforethe east coast storm.

In talking with herinsurance agent Humansays she’s learned herrate hikes aren’t unusual.“She said that there aresome increases of 30percent on some people,people who hadn’t evenfiled any claims,” Humansaid.

Human says she’sdecided to switch to an-other insurance compa-ny. I told her that’s fine

but when she switchesshe needs to make achange in her deductible.I found her auto insur-ance policy has a verylow $250 deductible.Human said she didn’tthink that would be aproblem – until now. Itold her she can reduceher premium by increas-ing her deductible from$250 to $500.

When it comes to Hu-man’s homeowner’s in-surance policy, she candecrease that premiumby increasing her deduct-ible to $1,000.

Remember, filing ahomeowner’s insuranceclaim will go against

your record and yourpolicy could be canceledif you have too manyclaims. Therefore, de-pending on the size ofyour house, it may evenpay you to increase yourdeductible to $3,000.After all, homeownersinsurance is really onlydesigned to cover majorlosses so it often doesn’tpay to file a claim if thedamage is less than$3,000.
