Colerain Township will closethe Skyline Community CenterDec. 31.

Officials say theydonot havethemoney to continue operatingthe center.

The township had used mon-ey from the Hamilton CountyCommunityDevelopmentBlockGrantprogramtopay for theop-eration of the center. The town-ship took over operations thereafter the Skyline ImprovementAssociation lost block grantfunding.

Colerain and Springfieldtownships – the Skyline commu-nity includes parts of both town-ships – funded the operation of

the center pooling funds fromthe block grant program. ButSpringfield Township droppedits support in 2009.Coleraincon-tinued, requesting part of itscommunitydevelopmentmoneyfor the center’s operation ineach three-year funding cycle.

Ten years ago, the townshipentered into a contract with theClippard YMCA to oversee pro-grams and run the communitycenter.

Skyline’s operations havebeen paid for partly with gener-al fund money and partly withmoney from the block grant.Last year, the township usedmoney from its general fund inorder to used to use block grantmoney to pay for renovations atthe Skyline Center.

The county did not renewfunding for the center in thethree-year round of funding be-ginning in 2013, dropping the

cost back onto the township.Last year, as Colerain Town-

ship trustees decided the town-ship could no longer operate thecenteras itwasnot receivingad-equate funding from the com-munity block grant program topayforothernecessaryprojectsand the operation of the center.

Trustee Jeff Ritter saidmorethan half the youngsters whocome to the center are not Col-erain Township residents, butlive in Springfield Township.

Colerain officials told resi-dents in January and at a townhall meeting in March that thecenter was losing funding. Clip-pard YMCA Executive DirectorDoug Helcher and Skyline cen-ter director Greg Moore havetried to find alternate fundingsources and came up empty.

“It’s been a great partnership

for10years, butwearenotin a position financially toassumethecostof runningthe center. The money’sjust not out there,” Helch-er said. “It’s tight for ev-eryone. Clippard can’t ab-

sorb the cost of operatingthe center, and we can’tcharge enough to make itself-sustaining. It’s sad,but the center will close atthe end of the year. Wehave not found a knight inshining armor to save it.”

Moore said the closingis bad news youngsters inthe community. The Sky-line Community Centerhas a national championDouble Dutch team, after-school programs, summerday camps, basketballleagues, mentoring andhomework programs andis a center for free lunchesthroughout the summer.“We serve 70-80 kids,”Moore said.

Helchersaid theYMCAwill look for ways to pro-vide programming in the

Skyline community with-out thecenter, pointingoutthat a building is not nec-essary for the YMCA to beactive in a community.

“The Clippard YMCAserved this community foryears without a facility,”he said. “There are a lot ofsatellite communities thatdon’t have a building.”

Meanwhile, townshipofficials say they don’twant to close the center,but it’s necessary.

“The center does nothave the resources to beself-sufficent,” said FrankBirkenhauer, assistant ad-ministrator for ColerainTownship. “That’s just theunhappy reality of the sit-uation. We cannot con-tinue to pay for the opera-tion of the center.”

Les Burdett, a trusteeof the society, says themu-seum will put its recordsand collection on display.

The society has movedfrom place to place for itsmeetings, and had beenforced to store items inmembers’ homes and inthe basement of the Cole-rain Township Govern-ment Complex.

After more than fouryears of looking for abuilding, home was rightin the group’s backyard.Administrator JamesRowanofferedthemspacein the former parks office

at the front of ColerainPark.

Storage is important tothis group because whilethe society has collected alot of information anditems revealing the histo-ry of Colerain Township,the itemshavenotbeenac-cessible in the manyplaces they have beenstored. Now they are inoneplace andwill be avail-able for people to viewanduse.

WHEN THEYMEETThe Coleraine Histori-

cal Society meets at 7:30p.m. on the thirdWednesday of eachmonth at the ColerainCommunity Center, 4300Springdale Road. Tony Nuss will never

forget what happened themorning of Oct. 30, 2008.

“I remember prettymuch everything,” theGreen Township residentsaid. “

It was a typical fallmorning four years ago,one day before Halloween.

Nuss stepped into hiscar parked in front of hishome on Krierview Drive,ready to head to work.

He pulled his driver’sside door closed, and slidthe key into the ignition.

Seconds later, his rou-tine morning became any-thing but routine.

After he started his red,two-door Chevy coupe, thecar exploded.

“When we arrived onthe scene, it looked like acar bomb had gone off,”said Green Township Fire& EMS Lt. Michael Nie.

Car parts thrown hun-dreds of feet; parts werefound on rooftops . The ex-plosionknockeddownpow-er lines and damaged win-dows on homes across thestreet. “The car’s sheetmetal was blown away, as

though it was peeled backwith a can opener,” Niesaid.

Fortunately a HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s deputywas nearby on patrol, and,with the help of bystand-ers, pulled Nuss from theburning car.

Nie said hewas relievedwhen he found Nuss alertand talking to theparamed-ics treating him.

Anacetylene tankwithasmall leakwas in the trunk,and turning the ignitionwas enough to trigger anexplosion.

Nuss said he spent 32days in the hospital, andwith some intense therapyand rehabilitation he wasable toreturntoworkabout

four months after the acci-dent.

To thank the GreenTownship firefighters andparamedics who came tohis rescue four years ago,Nuss and his wife, MaryBeth, treated them to din-ner recently to show theirgratitude.

.“I wanted them to knowthe task they do doesn’t gounnoticed, he said.”

Nie said he and his fel-low firefighters enjoyedsitting down to dinner withNuss and his family, andthey were glad to see he’shealthy and doing well.

“This was one of thoseruns you’ll remember forthe rest of your life,” Niesaid.

The basement of MountHealthy Christian Churchdoubles as a grocery storefour days a week with freefood for needy families.

The Alliance, a nonprof-it organization that is a col-laboration of localchurches, runs the foodpantry to serve people in45231 zip code area.

“We help about 400 fam-ilies a month,” Alliance ex-ecutive director KathrynRoosa said. “We see evenmore people around theholidays.”

With photo identifica-tion and a current piece ofmaildenoting theappropri-ate zip code, people canvis-it the pantry once a monthto receive a three-day sup-ply of food. “Our statisticsshowthatwehaveveryfewrepeatseverymonth,”Roo-sa said. “We find that thepantry is used on an as-needed basis.”

Despite the statistics,thepantry isalways inneedof donations. Roosa saidthe Alliance purchases 60to 70 percent of the items

for the pantry.“The difficult part is the

uncertainty,”pantryopera-tions supervisor Kathy Lo-

renz said. “We’re neverreally sure what we’re go-ing to havebecausewe relyso much on donations.There are a lot of prayers.”

Each month 80 to 100people volunteer at thepantry.

“The pantry is com-pletely run by volunteers,”Roosa said.

With Christmas aroundthe corner, Lorenz said thatthe pantry is in need ofmore donations. Itemsneeded include cannedfruit, personal hygieneproducts, baby items, non-perishable foods and mon-ey.

SCHOOL NOTES

Eight young actors are busy celebratingChristmas as members of the Children’s En-semble in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cin-derella,” playing at the Covedale Center forthe Performing Arts through Dec. 23.

The children auditioned in September,started rehearsals inOctober and openedthe Christmas-themed musical Nov.29, said director TimPerrino, who also isexecutive artistic di-rector for CincinnatiLandmark Produc-tions, which operatesthe Covedale Centeron the west side ofCincinnati.

More than 20adults also take thestage for the classicfairy tale, includingKatie Hamilton-Meier as Cinderellaand Jonathan Zeng asthe Prince. Music di-rector is Steve Goersand choreographer isKarie-Lee Suther-land.

The youngest per-formers, who rangefrom ages 9 to 14, areenjoying the produc-tion.

Maddi O’Connell, 11, tried to identify thebest part of being in “Cinderella.” TheMercyMontessori sixth-grader settled on onephrase: “It’s all too great.”

Nine-year-old Jordan Darnell acknowl-edged“that it’s a lotofworkanda lotofpayingattention, and it’s a great experience.” Jordanattends St. Teresa of Avila School and is infourth grade.

KatelynMoore,who is11and insixthgradeat Taylor Mill Elementary School, said shewas looking for opportunities to perform.When shewas selected for twoparts recently,she said she chose the Covedale role because“I liked the idea of ‘Cinderella.’”

A fourth-grade student at Calvary Chris-tian School, C.J. Zimmer, 9, said he realizedwhen he auditioned “that I’d be one of onlytwo boys” in the musical if selected.

Christopher Conway, 12, a seventh-graderat St.WilliamSchool, is happy tobepart of theproduction. “It is an amazing show,” he said.

Fourteen-year-oldEmilyEgner is ineighth

grade at St. Antoninus School. She said she in-tends to focus onmusical theaterwhen she at-tends School for the Creative & PerformingArts next year.

“I’d like to do someother showshere,” saidMaddie Land, 14. The Sacred Heart Elemen-tary School student added she will watch forfuture auditions.

Homeschooler Grace Balbo of Hyde Parkwill turn13before “Cinderella”wrapsup. Shesaid her experience in “The Music Man” onthe Showboat Majestic and other perfor-mances prepared her for the current Cov-edale musical.

It was fairly easy to adapt “Cinderella” forthe holidays, according to Perrino. “First andforemost, you set it at Christmas time, and

you put in a children’s chorus and caroling,”he explained. The children also dance, and es-cort Cinderella to the ball as horses andcoachmen.

All of the young actors are familiar withthe performing arts, whether drama, vocal orinstrumental music, or dance, and have per-formed previously in other professional orschool productions. Emily, Christopher andGrace have appeared on the Covedale stageor with Cincinnati Landmark Productions be-fore.C.J., Jordan,Katelyn,Maddi andMaddieare making their debuts.

The youngsters expressed varying de-grees of opening night jitters, but all agreedthey had had enough rehearsing and wereready for the curtain to rise.

As the sun sets on 2012 andwe continue work on the 2013appropriations, I am pleasedthat the current Colerain town-ship Board of Trustees andadministrator are all on thesame page with the budgetprocess. They are makingtough but necessary decisionsto be able to sustain the corefunctions of our local govern-ment and still be able to offerservices such as our parks andcommunity center, includingsenior programming.

This board and the admini-stration understand that the

past trend ofspending inexcess ofcurrent yearrevenue is notsustainable.This year, ourtotal expendi-tures throughSept. 30 are$19.2 millionand our reve-nue is $24.8million.

Further,our general fund revenue isprojected to continue fall overthe next few years due to threefactors from the 2011 statebiannual budget:

» The local governmentfund will be cut 50 percent orapproximately $400,000 peryear;

» The estate tax will beeliminated in 2013 at a loss ofapproximately $1.2 million peryear, and

» The tangible personalproperty tax will be eliminatedin 2013 at a loss of approxi-mately $32,000 per year.

For further details, you canview the 2013 budget presenta-tion on the Township’s website.Our future budgets must andwill reflect this new reality ofdecreased revenues.

Now, for the usual financialupdate: we began the thirdquarter with a balance broughtforward of $26,122,659.11.During the months of July,August and September, thetownship had total receipts of$7,134,769.17 and total expendi-tures of $6,123,035.59. Thebalance as of September 30,2012, was $27,134,392.69.

It is important to me thatyou have as much informationas you desire about your hometown’s government and itsfiscal health.

With the failure of our re-cent operating levy, the MountHealthy City Schools are facingsevere reductions for the 2013-2014 school year. Elimination ofextracurricular activities (i.e.athletic and music), additionalreduction of staffing, and fur-ther reduction of busing are allunder consideration. We havenot made a decision when toplace another operating levy onthe ballot, however we havelittle choice but to do so, orbecome bankrupt and understate control.

Funding of public schools bythe state of Ohio has been ruledunconstitutional four times bythe Ohio Supreme Court. Todate, the state Legislature haschosen to ignore the court, andnot corrected this issue. Untilthe Legislature does, districtsrely primarily on local tax mon-ey for operating expenses.

As with businesses, our oper-ating expenses have increasedover time due to inflation. Busi-nesses pass the increases on to

consumers.School dis-tricts cannot,and depend ongrowing taxrevenues. InOhio schooldistricts, in-creasing taxrevenues canonly be ac-complished by

requesting residents to approvenew operating levies.

Our expenses have increasedsince our last operating levy in2003. Through reductions andcutbacks, we have managed tostretch our last operating levyto nine years. Those reductionsand cutbacks – in staffing, out-sourcing and consolidation ofbuildings – have amounted toover a $4 million savings since2003.

Our new buildings wereconstructed with 71 percentstate funds, and 29 percentlocal funds. These facilitiesallowed us to consolidate staff-

ing, and are more energy effi-cient to operate. The new build-ings have contributed approxi-mately $1.5 million of savingssince opened. The money fromthe bond issue could only beused for construction of thosebuildings. It could not, by feder-al and state law, be used foroperating expenses. Many citi-zens confuse the bond issuemonies with operating monies.

Previous reductions havehad a negative impact on ourstudents’ educational opportuni-ties. We have increased partici-pation fees for extracurricularactivities (athletics, music,etc.), eliminated busing at thehigh school level, and reducedstaffing.

Recently, the Mount HealthySchool District earned an “Ef-fective” rating by the OhioDepartment of Education. Wewere also one of few in Ohiochosen to receive the “MostImproved Award” by the Bat-telle Institute for Kids, primari-ly because of our hardworking

and dedicated staff.Our staff is among the low-

est paid in Hamilton County –by approximately $6,000 each.Yet, they are required by localand federal governments toprovide the same educationalopportunities as wealthier dis-tricts. Further reductions instaffing, due to additional bud-get cuts, would risk both our“Effective” rating, as well asthe loss of highly qualifiedteachers to other districts.

Districts do not enjoy askingresidents for additional taxes.If you ask school personnel andboard members across thestate, all would say asking resi-dents for operating levies is themost difficult, unpleasant partof their role. Until our statecorrects the unconstitutionalway it funds schools, districtshave little choice but to placean operating levy on the ballot.

Steve Harness is the president ofthe Mount Healthy City SchoolDistrict.

Our only choice is to ask for levy

Nov. 28 questionHowdoyouplantodomostof

your holiday shopping this year:in person or online, from nation-al “bigbox” stores, or fromlocal-ly-owned businesses?

“Combination of on-line andin-person shopping. And my in-person is a combination of small,locally owned and big box. I aminterested in getting the bestdeal I can and I want interestingthings for the people onmy list. Idon’t startuntil theMondayafterThanksgiving. It’s somuchmorepeaceful that way.”

T.A.R.

“In order to put my responseinto context, let me remind read-ers that I am an old man. First ofall, just being aman is an impedi-ment to acquiring Christmas

shopping skills. Being old mere-ly compounds that difficulty.

“I've stopped getting lingeriefor my wife because she's wellstocked. One of our sons needsabsolutely nothing, and that is achallenge. I give the other sonand our daughter cash, and thatworks well.

“And finally, I try to write mywife a funny poem at Christmas(and other important dates dur-ing the year). I wish I could dobetter, but Santa Claus I ain't.”

Bill B.

“As an American male over65, I can't thinkof anything Ihate

much more than shopping forgifts. No wonder Scrooge was ina bad mood. I would rather prepfor a colonoscopy.

“The only person I shop for ismy wife. She has everything andwhatever I buy is usually thewrong size, style or color. I willdomy best to buy whatever I getonline with the exception ofjewelry. I rely on a local jeweleron 8 Mile Road near Clough.

“I would not set foot in a mallif my life depended on it anddriving on Beechmont Avenue iseven worse.”

The Ohio Attorney Generalprovides compensation forvictims of crime in Ohio. If youor your family members areinnocent victims of a violentcrime, you may qualify forfinancial assistance.

You may be eligible to re-ceive compensation either ifyou were injured during aviolent crime, you are a depen-dent of someone who was killedin a crime, or you, as a parentor guardian, are responsiblefor a crime victim’s expenses.

Certain people, however, arenot eligible to receive compen-sation. They include anyonewho has been convicted of afelony, child endangering ordomestic violence within 10years before the crime or while

the applicationfor compensa-tion is pend-ing. Also, any-one who en-gaged in mis-conduct thatcaused orcontributed totheir owninjuries is noteligible.

Paymentscan cover medical expensesbut only if the expenses are notcovered by insurance or otheravailable resources. They canalso cover lost wages resultingfrom the crime, includingwages lost from attendingcourt proceedings.

Compensation can include

financial support for depen-dents of a deceased victim.This support can include coun-seling for family members ofvictims as well as funeral andburial expenses totaling up to$7,500.

Maximum total paymentsare limited to $50,000. Pay-ments cannot be made for painand suffering or for lost, stolenor damaged property. Howev-er, crime scene cleanup forpersonal security, such asdoors and windows, may becovered.

An adult crime victim canfile for compensation anytimeafter the crime occurred, evenyears later. In order to qualifyfor it, the victim must reportthe crime and cooperate with

law enforcement.Although judges often order

convicted offenders to payrestitution to their victims,most offenders lack the abilityor desire to make full restitu-tion. The victims of crime pro-gram at least can help ease thefinancial burden on victims.Criminal fines – not Ohio’staxpayers – cover the pro-gram’s costs.

The Ohio Victims of CrimeCompensation Program is avaluable resource. For furtherinformation, call the AttorneyGeneral’s Office at (800) 582-2877.

In my house, you’renever too young, or old, tohave a stocking hung onthe mantle for St. Nicholasto fill.

When we were kids, wehung ours (and they

weren’t thefancy onesI havetoday butour regularsocks) onour bed-posts. Apomegran-ate wasincluded ifit fit mom’sbudget, and

I carry on that traditiontoday. Yesterday, the littleones hung their stockingsup and 4-year-old grand-daughter Eva, who has a4-month-old sister, Emer-son, said “I’ll share minewith Em.” Now that’s whatthe holidays are about!

Easy peanut brittleThis is not as sweet as

the kind of brittle that youbuy. I’ve used both lightand dark corn syrup andthe dark is what my fam-ily prefers, but use what-ever you have on hand.This recipe does not con-tain baking soda, whichgives some peanut brittlethe customary honeycombtexture. Now dependingupon the kind of pan youuse (I used a stainlesssteel), it may take a littlelonger or shorter time tomake the candy than therecipe calls for. Check outmy blog – abouteating.com– for step-by-step photos.1⁄2 stick unsalted butter1⁄2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn syrup1 teaspoon vanilla1 to 11⁄2 cups nuts: yourfavorite (We like saltedmixed nuts)

Spray cookie sheet.Over medium heat, stirbutter, sugar, corn syrupand vanilla until melted,smooth and bubbly. Coverand cook one minute. Stirin nuts, raise heat to medi-

um high and cook, stirringconstantly, until nuts arefragrant, lightly brownedand the mixture is verygolden, about five min-utes. What happens is themixture will reach thehard crack stage (300degrees). If you put a bitin a glass of cold water, itwill make a hard ball.Immediately pour ontocookie sheet, spreadingthinly as possible. Asprayed offset spatula orbutter knife helps here.Cool until hard, about 15minutes, then break intopieces. Keep covered atroom temperature.

Perfect roast beefGood for that holiday

sirloin tip or similar roast,not chuck, which needs tobe roasted differently. Anunconventional way ofroasting. Cranking up theoven to 475 developsmoist, flavorful meat. Yes,you may have some splat-ter in the oven, but thatshould clean up OK.

3-4 pounds beef roast (seeabove)

Preheat oven to 250degrees. Season with salt

and pepper and brown onall sides in oil in ovenproofpan (or scrape up brownbits and place all in roast-ing pan). Roast until tem-perature reaches 110 de-grees, 45-60 minutes or so.Leave in oven and in-crease heat to 475 de-grees. Cook until temper-ature reaches 120 degreesfor rare, 125 for mediumrare or 130 for medium.This will take up to 30minutes or so. Check after20 minutes. Remove fromoven, tent with foil and letrest 15 minutes. Servewith pan juices.

Tips from Rita’s kitch-en

Put several slivers ofgarlic in meat.

Add a little dry redwine or beef broth duringlast 20 minutes.

Healthy sweetpotato fries

A good time of year tomake this since sweetpotatoes are good buys inseason. I’ll add a pinch ofcayenne if making foradults. Let kids help tosstogether and talk abouteating “from the Gardenof Eden,” the brighter the

color of the veggie, thebetter it is for you!

4 sweet potatoesCanola or olive oilSalt to tasteCayenne pepper, optional (Alittle goes a long way)

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Spray cookiesheet. Peel potatoes, cutinto wedges. Put in bowland toss with a couple orthree tablespoons oil.Place single layer onsheet, sprinkle with sea-soning, and bake 20 min-utes. Turn potatoes overand bake until golden andtender, about 20 minutes.If potatoes are cut thin,they may take less time; ifthicker, a bit more.

You have a house fireand your home needsmajor repairs. Althoughyou’re fully insured, youcan still run into problemsthat can bring you close tobankruptcy. That’s whatan area man fears mayhappen to him.

Daniel VanDean hasowned a house in HiddenValley Lake for the pasttwo years. In February,there was a fire in thelower level of his house.

“The smoke got up intothe walls, into the insula-tion, and basically the

wholehouse hadto be guttedcomplete-ly,” he said.

Van-Dean hireda contrac-tor to domost of therepairs.“He was

given two checks. One ofthem, for $15,000 to getstarted, and then anotherfor $25,000 to continue thework,” he said.

But, although the job

was to have been complet-ed in August, it was farfrom complete monthslater.

VanDean says helearned a lot of the work-ers weren’t getting paidand liens were being filedagainst his home. “So, outof that $40,000 the con-tractor kept the $40,000.

“I’m paying for the restof the work out of my ownpocket. This is going toleave me quite a bit ofmoney short finishing myhouse,” VanDean said.

VanDean’s insurance

agent looked at the workthat had been performedand wrote a letter sayinghe felt the work was sub-standard. In one case, hefound a used vanity hadbeen installed in one of thebathrooms. That vanityhas since been replacedwith a new one, but Van-Dean says it took morethan a week for him tocorrect construction prob-lems.

It turns out most of theconflict with the contrac-tor is over work VanDeansays he never authorized.

He says the problem is, “Itwasn’t in writing. It was‘word of mouth’ and that’swhere the legal systemsays I should have had itin writing.”

So I called the contrac-tor who took issue with thequality of his work, sayingit did pass a county in-spection. He says therewas a signed agreementbut admits a lot of workwas done with just a ver-bal OK. He says that extrawork added more time tothe job.

So protect yourself

when hiring a contractor.Get written estimatesfrom three contractors.Then make sure the con-tract you sign includesany changes, in writing,and make certain it stateswho pays for the materialsand subcontractors sothere’s no question aboutit later.

Bill Lonneman, assis-tant professor of nursingattheCollege ofMount St. Jo-seph, spent a week in areasin New York City and Con-necticut that were dam-aged by Hurricane Sandy.

Lonneman is a volun-teer nurse for the RedCross and accepted a de-ployment to the disastersites.

Lonneman arrived Nov.2 in White Plains, N.Y,. andwas asked to be part of a“circuit riding” team withanother nurse, visiting theshelters in West Chesterand Rockford counties andover to Greenwich, Conn.Their job was checking onthe staff and nurses whohave been working sincebefore the storm hit. Thestorm brought down treesand power lines, causingthousands to live withoutelectricity and heat.

“The people in the shel-

ters are allages andsituations,many elder-ly and somepeople withpsycholog-ical condi-tions,” Lon-neman said.

“Everyonewho is normallyvulnerable becomes evenmore so with a situationlike this.”

He spent the next sever-al days helping in sheltersin Manhattan and Brook-lyn, which housed severalhundred people of allraces, ages and abilities.They helped children withfevers and rashes, and get-ting medical attention forpeopleneeding toseeadoc-tor in a different part of thecity. Lonneman said thepeople wanted to makesure the rest of the countryhadn’t forgotten them.

Many older Americansare struggling to affordfood to meet their basic di-etary needs. This month,nearly 1,000 vulnerableolder adults will receive ajar ofpeanutbutter in addi-tion to their Meals onWheels delivery, thanks todonations from friends andneighbors during a fooddrive last month.

In October, WesleyCommunity Services,AARP Ohio and Walgreenseffort asked area residentsto “Spread Some Good”with donations of peanutbutter at 57 local Wal-greens stores in GreaterCincinnati and NorthernKentucky. The food drive,Oct. 11-29, collected 940jars.

The food drive is part ofthe national AARPDrive toEnd Hunger; which pro-motes awareness about theserious problem of seniorhunger.

While there are manysimilar food drives acrossthe country, the effort in

Cincinnati and NorthernKentucky was different inits focus on a singular item.The partnership alsohelped to assure that dona-tions remained in the com-munity.

Peanut butter is low incalories and is a source offiber, protein, and good di-etary fat. For older adults,the benefits of healthy eat-ing include increasedmen-tal acuteness, resistance toillness and disease, higherenergy levels, faster recu-peration times, and bettermanagement of chronichealth problems.

StephenSmookler, chiefoperations officer, WesleyCommunity Services, said,“Wesley Community Ser-vices looks forward to fu-ture initiatives with AARPOhio and Walgreens.”

Contributions can bemade through the end ofthe year online to WesleyCommunity Services atwww.wesleycs.org, or bymail to 2091RadcliffDrive,Cincinnati, Ohio, 45204.

Karen Lane, creator ofthe Feast of Love ministry,had described herself as “ashrew and a wretch” be-fore she opened her heartto God.

On Dec. 1, one of themostvisiblepartsofherre-demption, the Feast ofLove’s annual parademarched through CollegeHill’s business district.

Harder to seebutno lessimpactful are the thou-sands of local needy fam-ilies Lane’s organizationhas fed more than 27 yearsof charitable workwith theCollege Hill PresbyterianChurch.

Lane, 70, died Nov. 29 atChrist Hospital after bat-tling pancreatic cancer.

Thefieryactivist for theneedy told The Enquirer in2010 that her early yearsgrowing up in Canton in-cluded many obstacles re-sulting in bitterness thatstayed with her for years.

“I could cuss out, tearyou up – I was nasty,” saidLane,whomoved toCincin-nati in the 1970s. “I was interrible emotional pain.”

In 1986, the longtimeNorthside resident – whoworked in sales and foryears as a waitress at theformer Shuller’s Wigwamin College Hill – realized

that healing prayer fromher immersion in Chris-tianity had also triggered amissionary zeal to help theneedy.

“I was always the onesitting on the sidelines andI wasn’t on the playingfield,’’ she said. “I wantedto be on the playing field.”

That year, she foundedthe ecumenical ministryFeast of Love at CollegeHill Presbyterian Churchthat later included involve-ment fromSt. ClareRomanCatholic Church and theEvangelical CommunityChurch. Its original pur-pose of providing Thanks-giving, Christmas, EasterandFather’sDaydinners tolow-income families ex-pandedover theyears to in-clude other charitable ser-vices and now has 120 vol-unteers.

The “Holiday On TheHill” parade hadmore than28 local organizations,businesses and charitablegroups participating. Or-ganizers said it was dedi-cated to honoring Lane’slegacy of giving.

Barry Stare, a ministrypartner and friend, said theparade is just one of themore high-profile remind-ers of how she was a forcefor good.

“She was an incrediblevisionary, a spark plug anda thorn in the side at timesto some people but it wasfor a good cause,” Staresaid.

Bev Graves, friend andnow interim director ofFeast of Love, said “shewas kind of crusty, but shehad a heart of gold.”

“Hermain thingwas be-ing there for children andthe poor. She used to callherself the co-founder ofFeast of Love, saying theother founder was God.”

Survivors include a son,Jeff Lane of London, Ohio.

Amemorial service willbe at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 9at College Hill Presbyteri-an Church, 5742 HamiltonAve., followed by a recep-tion at the church.

Memorials may be senttoFeast ofLove, 5742Ham-ilton Ave., Cincinnati, OH45224.

Lanny Stoinoff, accusedof slamming an infantniece to the floor and kill-ing her, was found notguilty by reason of insanityon Nov. 25.

That doesn’t mean Stoi-noff will go free. HamiltonCounty Common PleasCourt Judge Robert Ruehl-man ordered Stoinoff to beheld in a mental facility in-definitely. Ohio law allowssomeone who was acquit-ted but deemedmentally illand dangerous to be held

untilhealed.That couldmean therest of hislife in Stoi-noff’s case.

Stoinoff,now 26,originally

of North College Hill, washolding his 4-week-oldniece Roslyn Noelle Stoi-noff at his parents’ Cole-rainTownshiphome inJuly2011 when he suddenlyslammed her to the floor.

In making the ruling,Ruehlmansaid thiswasoneof theworst cases he’s seenin his 35 years as a judgeand prosecutor.

“It was difficult to thinkhe did this to a 1-month-old

child,” Stoinoff’s attorney,Will Oswall, said after thesentence. “It was bizarreall the way around.”

Stoinoff, who has a his-tory of mental illness andviolence, previouslystabbed a dog to death. Hisfather told police Stoinoffwas a paranoid schizo-phrenic who often didn’ttake his medication.

Stoinoff will be held atTwin Valley BehavioralHealthcare, a Columbusmaximum-security facilityfor the mentally ill.

His casewill be backbe-fore Ruehlman in sixmonths to check on his pro-gress. It will be in court ev-ery two years after that oruntil progress is made onStoinoff’s mental issues.
