New taxplan maygo to vote
COLUMBIA TWP. — Trusteeson Friday, Aug. 2, are expectedto consider asking voters in No-vember to approve a new tax.
Voters would be asked to ap-prove the creation of a joint eco-nomic-development zone withFairfax that includes a new, 1-percent income tax on people
who work andbusinesses thatoperate in thesethree townshipcommercialareas:
» 48 acres onWooster Pike.
» 12 acres onPlainville Road.
» 170 acres atRidge and High-land avenues.
The proposedagreement callsfor Fairfax to col-lect the new in-come tax in thezone and distrib-ute it in exchangefor pocketing 10
percentof the taxescollectedaf-ter service, reserve and escrowfees are subtracted.
State lawprohibits townshipsfrom levying income taxes, butColumbia Township would re-ceive 90 percent of the post-feesrevenue generated in the pro-posed economic-developmentzone, which would be levied bythe zone’s board of directors.
After deducting for tax-col-lection expenses that will go toFairfax,ColumbiaTownshipAd-ministratorMikeLemonsaides-timatesare thatColumbiaTown-ship would annually collect$670,000 and Fairfax would col-lect $67,000.
Before the vote at a specialmeeting Friday, Aug. 2, trusteeswill discuss the proposed zoneduringapublichearingset tobe-gin at11a.m. in township officesat 5686 Kenwood Road.
“The special meeting will beto pass a resolution agreeing tothe (joint economic-develop-mentzone)agreementwithFair-fax – and incorporate anychanges necessary as a result ofthe public meeting – and to di-rect the (Hamilton County)Board of Elections to submit theissue to the voters,” said Lemon.
Columbia Township firstasked Mariemont to partner inthe initiative, but negotiationsare at an impasse and the town-ship must file paperwork withthe elections board by Monday,Aug. 5, to get any proposed eco-
nomic-development issue on theTuesday, Nov. 5, ballot.
Fairfax Village Administra-tor Jenny Kaminer said she ex-pects the majority of VillageCouncil to approve the develop-ment zone issue when it comesupforavoteataspecialmeeting7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 5, at vil-lage offices at 5903 HawthorneAve.
Kaminer said that Fairfax’sparticipation in the joint eco-nomic-development zone wouldprovide an annual income thatthe village might not otherwisehave.
“Every little bit helps,” shesaid.
Additionally, Kaminer said,this income can help contributeto a thriving community.
“We want to see the commu-nitiesaroundusstayviable,”shesaid.
“That helps us stay viable.”Kaminer said Fairfax must,
by law, wait to take a vote untilafter a 30-day viewing period ofthe proposed development-zoneplan by residents of ColumbiaTownship.
Acopyof theproposedagree-ment is available forpublicviewat township offices.
Columbia Township trusteesconsidered putting an operatinglevyon theNovemberballot, butdecided to wait and see whetherthey could create a successfuljoint economic-developmentzone.
Neither theportion ofColum-bia Township outside the zonenor Fairfax would be subject tothe new income tax; Fairfax res-idents will not vote on the issuebecause the zonewouldbe inCo-lumbia Township.
The proposed economic-de-velopment contract would last40 years with three, 10-year re-newal terms that would startautomatically unless ColumbiaTownship and Fairfax agreed todiscontinue the contract or oneof the parties wanted to termi-nateitandmetnotificationdead-lines.
Likeothermunicipalities,Co-lumbia Township and Fairfaxare looking for ways to raisemoney in the wake of cuts instate appropriations and in localproperty taxes causedby fallingproperty valuations.
Lemon said Columbia Town-shipcouldbylawpartner injointeconomic-development zoneswithsome13nearbyvillagesandcities either contiguous to thetownship or one jurisdictionaway.
For now, he said, “We are notconsidering other partner-ships.”
In the proposed agreement,

MADISONVILLE —Residentshave voted against a portion ofthe Eastern Corridor project.
During the July18Madison-ville Community Councilmeeting, residents voted onwhether to support proposedchanges to Red Bank Road aspart of the Eastern Corridorproject.
The Eastern Corridor pro-ject aims to improve connec-tivity between western Cler-mont County and downtownCincinnati. It includes newroads, interchange upgrades,expanded bus service, com-muter rail and bike paths.
A portion of the plan in-volves relocating state Route32 and in connection with thismaking changes along the RedBank Road corridor.
RedBankRoadcouldpoten-tially be expanded as part ofthe project.
Prior to a vote at the meet-ing, representatives from Ma-riemont and Newtown alsospoke out in opposition to theproposed changes.
A “show of hands” vote wastaken on whether any changesshould be made to Red BankRoad. The vote to maintain thecurrent configuration of RedBank Road was unanimous.
The vote was also unani-mous that an alternate plan
should be developed.“There has to be a drastic
change in what ODOT is put-ting forward,” said Bob Igoe,board president of the Madi-sonville Community Council.
Igoe said the project hashad a negative impact on po-tential development.
“We have shovels ready tomove dirt,” said Igoe. Howev-er, he said uncertainty aboutthe project has impeded addi-tional work.
Hamilton County Commis-sioner Todd Portune concededthe project has taken a signifi-cant amount of time.However,he said he hoped Madisonvillewould continue to support theproject.
“What I hope to hear is (a)commitment to continue (and)not let this collaborative proc-ess end,” he said.
Despite the vote, Portune,who has been a staunch advo-
cate of the Eastern Corridorproject, remained optimistic.
“I think the community istaking stock of where we areand setting a course for wherewe need to go,” he said. “Thisisn’t the end of the process.”
A number of residents,though, remain skeptical.
“From what I know its onlybenefit is topeople inClermontCounty,” said Madisonvilleresident Karen Fitzpatrick.“(It will) take 10minutes off oftheir commute at the expenseof quality of life in Madison-ville.”
For others, it was the scaleof the projectwhichwas a con-cern.
“We’re not against pro-gress,” said Solomon Belay,owner of the Sunny Mart con-venience store.
“We (just) don’t want an ex-pressway(or)highwaytocrossthroughMadisonville.”

Itwashis commitmentto his volunteering thatgave Jack McCann theedge.
McCann,whograduat-ed from Walnut Hills
HighSchool thisyear, wasnamed the2013 recip-ient of a$500 schol-arshipfrom theMt. Look-out Schol-
arship Fund.When his mom called
to share the news,
McCann said hewas real-ly excited.
“She pushed me to ap-ply for it because shethought I’d be a good can-didate,” he said. “I’mreally honored, and it’ssomething that’s reallygoing to help when I’m atschool.”
McCann’s school rec-ord and extensive com-munity involvement –particularly his workcleaning up a nature areabehind Kilgour Elemen-tary – gave him an edgeover other applicants,said Sara Schoettmer,who is a member of thescholarship committee.
“Achieving EagleScout is a huge accom-
plishment, and it’s a veryelite group of scouts whoearn that rank,” she said.
McCann, who went toKilgour Elementary andbecame anEagle Scout inFebruary, said he wantedto make the nature areabehind the school a moreusable space.
Before he began hisproject, the area lookedlike an overgrown back-yard, he said. The bench-es and bridges had falleninto disrepair, andMcCann fixed thosealong with installingstairsandre-establishingtrails.
Throughouthis time inBoy Scouts, McCann par-ticipated in number ofvolunteer activities inand around the Mt. Look-out and Hyde Park areaincluding packingThanksgiving basketsand other outdoor ser-vice projects. At WalnutHills High School, hehelped teachers and li-brarians instead of tak-ing a study hall.
“(Volunteering) is im-portant, and it feels goodbecause you know you’rehelping someone,” hesaid.
He will attend Ohio
University in the fall and,though undecided at thispoint, is leaning toward amajor in political scienceor history.
This scholarship hasbeen around for morethan 20years and is avail-able to Mt. Lookout stu-dents pursuing post-sec-ondary education.
Students must submithigh school transcripts,maintain a minimum 2.5GPA, demonstrate volun-teerism in the communi-ty, write an essay aboutthevalueofvolunteerismand have a family mem-bership in the Mt. Look-out Community Council.The scholarship is sup-ported by the communitycouncil’s annual golf out-ing.

Mary Ann Schwartz isthe newest member ofMariemont Village Coun-cil.
She was appointedMay 13 to represent Dis-
trict 5,which in-cludes thevillage’shistoricdistrictnear Ma-ple, Chest-nut andOakstreets.
“I have a love for andan interest in the village,and I just thought it wastime to step up and want-ed to be involved,”Schwartz said of why shewanted to join Marie-mont council.
She will replace De-nise McCarthy, who ismoving out of the villageand announced her planto resign from council inApril.
McCarthy has lived inMariemont for almost 12years and was elected tocouncil in fall 2011 to rep-resentDistrict 5. Shewasappointed to the seat ear-lier thatyear to fill the re-maining term of formerCouncilwomanKimSulli-van, who resigned for

“She’s very active andI think she has the com-mitment and the interestto do a good job overthere,” Councilman Den-nis Wolter said.
Councilman Joe Stel-zer added that Schwartz“has the passion to makeDistrict 5 andMariemontbetter by addressing is-sues in a thoughtful andproductive manner.”
Some of the biggest is-sues facing the historicdistrict, Schwartz said,are litter and trash in thesmall alleys or on otherproperties in the area.She also supports the vil-lage’s recent efforts totighten property mainte-nance and zoning codesin the historic district.
“I’d like to see if wecan work with some ofthe landlords to improvetheir properties,” shesaid. “I think the historicarea is just so instrumen-tal to this community, it’sjust really important tosee it preserved.”

MARIEMONT — Sonny andCher would be proud.
Of course there’s a goodchance youthful golfer WillGrimmer has no idea whetheror not that’s a good thing.
Hint: It is, Will, because thebeat goes on.
His dizzying summer of tor-rid golf landed the 16-year-oldMariemont High School risingjunior national headlines with arecord-tying round of 59 at Pi-nehurst during the North &South Junior Amateur July 10.
Golf Digest magazine, cabletelevision’s Golf Channel, a va-rietyof local affiliates andprintoutlets - including the Cincin-nati Enquirer - helpedmake hisname instantly recognizableacross fairways everywhere.
“(The 59) was definitely thecoolest feeling I’ve ever had onthe golf course,”Grimmer said.“It’s been exciting doing all theinterviews, havingpeople comeup to me and saying they sawthe story and congratulatingme.”
Funny thing is, Grimmer’sfourth-place finish in the North& South was arguably his poor-est showing of the summer.
“I think cumulatively for themonth (ofJuly), I’m like26or27under par,” Grimmer said.
This before he posted a mi-nus-four round of 68 July 18 atthe Ohio State University Scar-let Course to a seal a wire-to-wire victory in the AmericanJunior Golf Association Memo-rial Junior tournament in Co-lumbus.
His three-day scorecardread 67-71-68-206, putting him10strokesunderpar, sixstrokesahead of his nearest competi-tion and netting him the firstAJGA title of his career.
“I really wanted to take mygame up a level this summer,”Grimmer said. “I’ve entered alot of really good tournamentsand really challenged myself
this summer.”Grimmer’s hot July comes
on the heels of a possibly hotterJune inwhichhewontheUnitedStates Golf Association JuniorQualifier at Western HillsCountry Club at four under, theOhio Junior championship atThe Oasis at six under and theSouthern Ohio PGA sectionalqualifier at Weatherwax at 10under.
“Idon’t reallyhaveafavoritepart of the game,” he said. “Ilove hitting the drive. I love hit-ting the irons. I love the shortgame.”
The short game is howGrim-mer said he sent his scores div-ing like U boats. He credits anew Scotty Cameron putter - ablack mallet model - with help-ing his feel around the greens.
“I’vebeenputtingreallywelland it makes a huge differ-ence,” he said. “My speed hasbeen great and I don’t miss toomanyshort ones lately.And I’vebeen very comfortable stand-ing over some of the longerputts, 15, 20, 30 feet.”
Grimmer - who plays out ofMakatewah Country Club andcalled TPC Sawgrass his favor-ite course - hopes the streakcontinues a while longer.
He competes in the USGAJunior Amateur in Californiathis week. The following weekhe tees it up at Trump NationalGolf Club in Potomac Falls, Va.,for the Junior PGA Champion-ship.
Then comes the high schoolseason with the Warriors.Grimmer finished tied for fifthin theDivision II statemeet lastseason. He led the team with a35.9-stroke average per nineholes, one shot better than hisfreshman average.
“I justwant tokeepgoing theway I’m going,” he said. “Theonly thing I can control is howI’mshooting, so Iwant tokeep itup. I want to improve my aver-age again and I’d like to have achance to win state. That’s thegoal.”
Mariemont High School’s Will Grimmer finished fifth in the Division IIstate tournament last fall. This summer, he’s made national news witha series of strong tournament performances.FILE PHOTO

GEORGETOWN, KY. — He’dbeen away too long.
Moeller High School gradu-ateBradMacciochi - afterhelp-ing the Crusaders to a 2012 Di-vision I state baseball champi-onship - had to sit out a seasonas a redshirt at Wright StateUniversity.
So landing a spot on theHamilton Joes of the GreatLakes Collegiate BaseballLeague scratched a nearlyyear-long itch togetbackon thediamond.
“It feels great (to be playingagain),” Macciochi said. “Itfeels like home.”
And - for as long as he’s beenaway from the game - it feelslike he never left.
“Brad leads our team inRBIs,” said Joes managerAdamGrissom. “He can hit fora little bit of power, but he’sreally good at going the otherway anddoingwhatever he canto get runs in.”
Grissom - better known asAG- isheadcoachatNorthwestHigh School during the schoolyear. He said working with col-lege players varies considera-blyfromishighschoolcharges.
“It’s a big difference,” Gris-som said. “You have guys fromall over the country, not justyour district.
“We basically have the bestplayers fromevery high schoolteam. It’s premiere talent, guyswho are looking to get better inthe summer and maybe posi-tion themselves tobedrafted inthe future.”
Macciochi agreed.“I thinkthatwouldbeagreat
opportunity if it happened,” hesaid. “If it doesn’t though, I’llstill get to play ball for fouryears, get a great college edu-
cation and be prepared for thefuture.”
The big first baseman saidthere were other differencesbetween his high school andcollege experiences and play-ing with the Joes.
“The travel is a little rough,”he said. “We’re not gettinghome sometimes until 2 or 3 inthe morning.”
TheJoes - for just one exam-ple - traveled by bus toGeorge-town, Ky., June 27 to face theLexingtonHustlers.Their June26 game in Hamilton was post-poned by rain, so they had toplay a double header.
Macciochi had an RBI in a5-4 loss in the first game. Thesecond game didn’t begin until9 p.m. He went 3-for-4 with arun scored in a 7-2 loss in thesecond - the Joes dropped to 8-
10 on the season - before thelong trek home.
Another difference?“It’s not likewe have time to
practicebecauseweplayeveryday. You wind up working onwhatever you need to fix on thefly in the games.”
Macciochi isnot theonlyfor-mer Crusader on the Joes. Eth-an McAlpine - who recentlycompleted his redshirt sopho-more season at the Universityof Cincinnati - also plays.
“Ethan is in his third yearwith us,”Grissomsaid. “He is aspark plug for us. He leads off,he plays center field. He’s aleader.
“Unfortunately, he had a caraccident (June 26) and is a littlebanged up. Thankfully nothingserious, butwe’re going tomisshim for a few games.”

ANDERSON TWP. —Maybe theonly things leftunprotectedwere the out-field fences.
Certainly everythinginside was well in hand.
Cops from across thecountry and Canada de-scended on the River CitySports Complex July 19 to21for the42ndAnnualNa-tional Police SoftballTournament.
With 25 teams - 20 ofthem competing in theopen division and five inthe masters division - thefences, however, sufferednumerous assaults in thesix-homer-limit games.
Mariemont officerChris Warner brought thetournament to Cincinnatifor the first time in 2013after Dayton hosted theevent for 40-plus years.
The 1987 NorwoodHigh School graduate has
been a full-time officer inMariemont since 1996.He’s been playing softballon traveling all-starteamsall along and is gladto have his two passionscome together in hishometown.
“It’s competitive, butit’s also a lot of fun,” War-ner said of the nationaltournament. “We had agood location. There’s alotmore to do here for theguys who come with theirfamilies than inDayton. Itjust made sense.”
Frank Navarre - a re-tired Dayton officer whohas been tournament di-rectorforaquartercentu-ry - agreed.
“We’d like to have itdown here another 40years,” he said. “It’s agreat location, easy to getto, and there’s a lot of val-ue for the players be-tween the Reds, Kings Is-land,Coney Island, the ca-sinos, the (Newport)
Aquarium.“It’s a great event. The
departments like to comedown and compete, butalso represent their cityor state and show theirstyle.”
Opening ceremoniesJuly 19 featured a tributeto fallen officers from ev-ery state represented inthe tournament, aswell asa police helicopter fly-
over, a sportsmanshippresentation and the in-duction ofDickVogel intothe national Police Soft-ball Hall of Fame.
Vogel’s son Rick - asoftball-playing officerhimself - presented hisdadwith the the inductionmedal.
The elder Vogel playedon Elder High School’s1958 state championship
baseball team and won a1957 national baseballchampionship with Bent-leyPost.He’samemberofthe Price Hill Old Timer’sHall of Fame.
“I started playing soft-ball because I had gottenmarried, we had two littlekids andmywife was get-ting tired of taking themout to the baseball dia-mond on Sunday after-
noons,” Vogel said with achuckle. “I played until Iwas about 50.
“I played on some real-ly good teams. I battedfourth and played firstbase and had about a .700average most seasons. Ialways thought if theteamneededabasehit inacrucial situation, Iwantedtobe theguyat theplate toget it.”
Vogel, now 73 and re-tired after 35 years in theCincinnati Police Depart-ment, said the softballhonor caught him un-awares.
“This thing is some-thing that totally sur-prised me,” he said. “TheguycalledandtoldmeandI couldn’t talk. It’s really athrill.”
Part of the proceeds ofthe tournament benefitedThe Shield, a Cincinnatiorganization that helpsfamilies of officers whoare killed or injured.

Confused beliefs added to absurdityBruce Healey, identified
only as a resident of IndianHill, appeared as guest col-umnist in the July 10 issue ofthe Eastern Hills Journal in apiece headlined, “Where gothe Republicans.”
What was noteworthy aboutthe effort was that in a pre-tended concern for the surviv-al of the Republican Party Mr.Healey achieved a very com-pelling example of the theatreof the absurd.
Acknowledging that,“There is plenty of room forconservative values in thiscountry, and that is a goodthing,” the writer showed noclue as to actual conservativevalues; even less of an un-derstanding of American po-litical institutions, traditional
religious prin-ciples or theattributes ofthe “hypocri-sy,” withwhich hesought to labelthose of uswho actuallyhave conser-vative values.
The “croco-dile tears,”
over what he sees as a Repub-lican dilemma are as uncon-vincing as is his advice on howto solve our problem. Considerhis premises:
Mr. Healey laments thatRepublicans will alienate vot-ers by adhering to their be-liefs, rather than Mr. Healey’sbeliefs, and that if we self-
destruct it would not be goodin a “Democracy” to have onlyone major political party.
Someone should explain toMr. Healey that a major pur-pose for our Federal Union, asexplained by James Madisonin Federalist #10, was to pro-tect the American people from“Democracy,” which our foun-ders equated with “mob rule.”
He accuses ConservativeRepublicans, of trying to tellpeople whom they can marry.This is blatantly untrue, butreflects further confusion onMr. Healey’s part.
The political issue is notabout “who one can marry,”but what the concept of mar-riage refers to. Nature deter-mines “whom one can marry,”if you understand what civi-
lized humanity has alwaysmeant by “marriage”: A sanc-tification of the procreation ofthe next generation via a fam-ily structure that nurtureschildren, both biologically,spiritually and with ongoingmoral purpose.
Mr. Healey shows similarconfusion on the subject of“reproductive rights.” Conser-vative Republicans do notfavor telling people whetherthey can or cannot reproduce.The political issue is aboutwhether having reproduced,people should be allowed tokill their progeny.
Mr. Healey is confusedover an imagined conflictbetween Christian values andthe death penalty, rights tobear arms and rights to con-
trol borders. He abhors taxesand legislation, which he feelsunfairly favor business in-terests.
From the things that hedisparages it is clear that hisobjection to a single majorpolitical party is not an ob-jection to uniformity ofthought on political, social,moral and economic issues.
Nothing in his column sug-gests a deviation from theegalitarian humanist com-pulsion that drives the Obamaadministration. He just ap-pears to want an oppositionparty that will join in andmake the radical innovations“bipartisan.”

Domestic violence is de-fined, in part, as knowinglycausing or threatening to causephysical harm to a family orhousehold member.
Family or household mem-bers include spouses, live-inpartners, children, parents or aperson with whom you have achild in common. For a varietyof reasons, domestic violencecases present unique chal-lenges. Some of these reasonsinclude: lack of cooperation bythe prosecuting witness; lack ofevidence and witnesses; anddifficulty in changing the de-fendant’s behavior.
In 2012, there were 2,633arrests for domestic violence inHamilton County. Some ofthese cases were charged asfelonies if the defendant had aprior domestic violence convic-tion. Most of the cases weremisdemeanors and heard inMunicipal Court.
The lack of cooperation bythe prosecuting witness (usu-ally a woman) is common indomestic violence cases. Ap-proximately half of the allegedvictims fail to appear for trialdespite being subpoenaed to doso.
The reasons that allegedvictims fail to come to courtvary. Frequently, the couple hasreconciled and the woman nolonger wants to pursue thecharge. Other times, the victimis reluctant to come to courtbecause she depends financial-ly on the man and fears a poten-tial jail sentence would causejob loss and financial hardship.
Sometimes the victim facesintimidation and believes thatshe would be in greater dangerif she testified against the de-fendant. Some victims come tocourt but then claim that theydon’t remember or that it was“just a misunderstanding.”Whatever the reason for thevictim’s failure to appear or beforthcoming, eventually thecase is dismissed.
When the alleged victimdoes come to court, a lack ofevidence and witnesses presentchallenges for the prosecution.Most domestic violence occursin the home away from othereyewitnesses. Many acts ofdomestic violence do not resultin photographable injuries.
Without photographs oreyewitnesses, many cases boildown to the testimony of thealleged victim against the de-
fendant. Un-less the victimis substantiallymore crediblethan the defen-dant, thesecases are diffi-cult to provebeyond a rea-sonable doubt.
Even with aconviction,deciding on a
fair and effective sentence fora defendant is a challenge.Most domestic violence offend-ers have issues with substanceabuse, anger management ormental health. These problemsare not excuses but should beaddressed in order to preventre-occurrence of the behavior.Although judges have a lot ofsentencing options, rangingfrom probation and counselingup to incarceration, they can’teasily fix the underlying prob-lems.
Despite the challenges ofdomestic violence cases, occa-sional success stories arise;where defendants are heldresponsible and able to get helpand families are repaired. Ifyou, or someone you know, area victim of domestic violence,call WomenHelpingWomen at(513) 977-5541.

Last week’s questionDo you agree with the new
abortion laws that were includ-ed in Ohio’s recently approvedbudget, suchasprohibitingpub-lic hospitals entering into writ-ten agreements with ambula-tory surgical centers that per-form abortions to accept theirpatients in case of emergency,and requiring doctors to test fora fetal heartbeat, then informthe patient seeking an abortionin writing of the presence ofthat heartbeat, and then pro-vide statistical likelihood thatthe fetus could be carried toterm?Why or why not?
“YES. No explanation need-ed.”
J.K.
“There is no middle groundbetween those who believethat abortion is the killing of ahuman being and those whobelieve it is the correction ofan extremely unfortunate lifechoice before it is too late.
“The women who are facedwith the choice of a 20+ yearcommitment to raising a childthey are not prepared to han-dle have a tough enough deci-sion about their future. Itshould be their decision andtheirs alone.
“The folks who disagreewith thishavebeenunsuccess-ful at making abortion illegalso now they have stooped tolow and despicable tactics try-ing to make it difficult or im-possible for a woman to re-ceive a safe and legal abortion.They would rather see a wom-an die fromabotched abortionat an illegal clinic than com-promise their belief.
“They do not condone tak-ing the child's life but theyhave no qualms about killingthe mother or dooming her toraise a child she is ill equippedto support.
“This is special interest pol-itics at its worst, disgusting.”
F.S.D.
“The Ohio legislatorsshould all have to adopt twochildren born to mothers whodid not want or could affordthe children. They will proba-bly continue to reduce wel-fare. Planned Parenthoodshould have greater fundingnot less.”
Walter
“Absolutelynot.This isaso-cial issue and has no place inany budget.
“It is also amistake tomakelegislation that forces any
American family to hide in theprivacy of their homes out offear for their government.
“While thisbudget showsusthat elected representativesthink they own our homes,businesses, schools,and prop-erty, it also shows they wish toown our choices, too.
“It's scary, and they'll payfor this puritanism at the nextelection.”
K.P.
“I do not agree with this,particularly prohibiting pub-lic hospitals from enteringinto agreements to acceptemergency patients. All wom-en are entitled to equal healthcare and treatment.
“Currently, clinics that per-form abortions must haveagreements with a hospital toprovide emergency care. Pro-hibiting thisessentially isclos-ing some clinics down.
“What is most appalling isthat these abortion provisionswere sneaked into the budgetbill at the lastminute, allowingno debate and then Kasich,surrounded by men, signed itinto law.
“It is a giant step back-wards for women's rights inthis country and an embar-rassment to the citizens ofOhio to allow such draconianlaws on our books.”

“Absolutely not. One morecase of the white, right, maledominated state legislator tell-ing women that they are notsmart enough to have controlover their own bodies.
“Why is it the Republicans,the 'I loveAmerica'group,whokeep reducing thehard-foughtrights of the middle, lower,and female class of citizens.First voter suppression, now areturn to the1950s. Next, if weare not careful, women will
onceagainbechattelsandnon-whites second-class citizens.
“Wake up Ohioans, Kasichand cronies will destroy thisgreat state. They got a start al-ready.
“I am an older, white, male,but I have a moral conscienceand do not want the good olddays.”

“I disagreewith everythingabout it. The way it was en-acted by slipping it into a bud-get bill and the terms. Sneak-ing such action into the bud-get, and using the budget as aweapon against women, is ascowardly as it is cruel.
“These amendments onlycreate insurmountable barri-ers that effectively eliminatesafe medical abortions as anoption, which are legal in thiscountry. Ifyouwant topreventabortions make sure everywoman has health care, a highschool education, and accessto birth control.
“Many Ohio women dependon Planned Parenthood for ba-sic preventive health care.They also count on PlannedParenthood being there forthem during the times ofgreatest need.
“Politicians should not in-terfere with private healthcare needs of women. Whenthe U.S. Supreme Court reaf-firmed the legality of abortionit allowed states to set restric-tions – without placing an 'un-due burden' on a woman. Yetsuch a burden is preciselywhat Republicans at the State-house seek to apply.”
K.F.S.
“I do not agree. I have beena pro-choice advocate for dec-ades. I believe the governor isonlygiving in tohispro-lifedo-nors anddoesn't caremuch forwomen's rights.
“When a woman makes theheart-wrenching decision toabort she doesn't need to hearthe heartbeat or be put in dan-ger if there is aproblemandberefused admission at a publichospital. This is insane. Hasthe governor no compassion?
“Every woman in Ohioshould be outraged at this ac-tion. We deserve better.”
E.E.C.
“Life is precious … in allforms. Wouldn't it be wise toerr on the side of caution… in-stead of encouraging people toonly think about themselves?”

You make small choicesevery day.
Sometimes my enthu-siasm in spring for plant-ing herbs and producegoes so out of boundsthat when it’s time forharvesting, I get over-
whelmed.I went
out early topick toma-toes andhappenedto see whatI thoughtwere a fewgreenbeansready topick. Ditto
for cucumbers. By thetime I finished, I had abig basket of beans, al-most a dozen cucumbersand more than enoughsquash for the neigh-borhood. I had also plant-ed a row of both Iranian/lemon and sweet basil inthe veggie garden. (Notthat I didn’t already haveenough in the herb gar-den!) The basils werejust starting to flower soI had to harvest them, aswell. The veggies willkeep for a couple of daysbut I wanted to work withthe basil then, so I mademy latest version offreezer pesto.
Rita’s freezer pestoThere’s a huge in-
terest in making pesto, soI could probably devote awhole column to it. Read-ers want to know if nutsare essential. No, andwalnuts make a goodsubstitute for pine nuts.Should you add garlicafter thawing? I add bothnuts and garlic to mypesto prior to freezing,but some food gurus sayleave them out since, intheir opinion, these itemsturn strong in the freez-er.
I use my food proces-sor, but you could use ablender or make this by
hand. This is a thickerpesto that freezes well.Add more oil after thaw-ing, if you like. Some-times I’ll add a bit ofwater to pesto if I’musing it to coat pasta.Check out my blog to seesome favorite recipesusing pesto.
1 to 11⁄2 teaspoons garlic,minced
1⁄4 cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired
1⁄2 stick unsalted butter(optional, but good)
Generous handful parsleyleaves
4 generous cups basilleaves, packed
11⁄4 cups Parmesan cheese orto taste
1⁄4 cup Romano cheese1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup extra virgin oliveoil
Generous squeeze of lemonjuice
With processor’s mo-tor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and using the pulsebutton, pulse until justmixed, then pour intocontainers and freeze.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Why doesmy pestoturn dark? Basil oxidizesrapidly when leaves arecut up either too finelyand/or exposed to air, souse the pulse button tomix. That also alleviatesheat while processing,which can turn the basildark. Try these tips tokeep your pesto green.
» Blanch the basilleaves to keep themgreen.
» Add parsley andlemon juice to keep thegreen color.
» Pour a thin film ofoil over the top beforestoring may keep enoughair out, as well.
And sometimes, evenif you take those steps, itstill may get dark. Don’t
worry, it’s a visual thingand doesn’t affect thequality or taste.
Tomato zucchinicasserole
No real recipe here.Sometimes I’ll add a bitof fresh chopped basilbefore serving.
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray casseroledish. Layer sliced zucchi-ni, sliced onions, slicedtomatoes, a sprinkling oforegano and garlic pow-der or fresh minced gar-lic (not too much), Par-mesan and mozzarella
cheeses.Repeat layers except
for mozzarella, whichshould be added last 10minutes of baking time.Bake about 45 minutes oruntil veggies are tenderbefore adding last layerof cheese.
Orange dreamsicleyogurt pops
Frommy book, “TheOfficial Snack Guide” forkids. Healthy and re-freshing.
Blend together:
1pint plain yogurt
1⁄2 cup thawed orange juiceconcentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pour into frozen popmolds and freeze.
Lemonade pops:Substitute pink or reg-ular lemonade for theorange juice.
Stay hydratedI worry about the
younger and older con-tingent in our Communi-ty Press family. They’rethe ones who may nothydrate properly, so keepan eye out. Add a squeeze
of fresh lemon or limejuice to water for anextra boost for your im-mune system and tomake drinking watermore appealing. Make ita fun drink by addingfresh mint, stevia orother sweetener to taste.

BUSINESS NOTES
Membership inNation-al Society Daughters ofthe American Revolutionis based on proof of directlineagetoanancestorwhoeither fought in or provid-ed support to the Revolu-tionaryWar Effort.
Mariemont Chapter, aswell as all chapters, stresspreservation of historicalknowledge and place ahigh value on researchingof ancestors.
As in any genealogicalsearch, sometimes infor-mation cannot be foundprior to a certain date orancestor. This is often re-ferred to as a “brickwall”and may appear to be in-surmountable.
Speaker CynthiaWhitt-Covalcine present-ed information importantto scale those difficultwalls at a recent meetingof the Mariemont Daugh-ters of the American Rev-olution chapter.
Whitt, who was raisedinNewRichmond, lives inMontgomery. Her back-ground includes a mas-ters degree from KentState University in li-brary science and a mas-ters ineducation fromXa-vier.

ofClermontCountyGene-alogical Society. She dili-gently works on familyhistory for herself as wellas her husband, Alex, whoisadescendantofNathan-iel Terwilliger, one of thefounders of Montgomery.
Whitt provideda seriesof suggestions for sites,but her most importantadmonition to anyone in-
terested ingenealogy is to“not give up.”
