Council: finance director earns raise

By Joe Awad Harrison Press Editor

Harrison City Council Tuesday, Jan. 11, unanimously voted to increase the city finance directors pay by $5,500, bringing her annual salary to $72,450. The increase, which is budgeted, reflects Angel Burtons workload and contributions made to the management of city finances since hired last January, said councilman and finance committee member Jim Robertson. The ordinance required some tricky wording because the citys charter dictates that Harrison must fill the tax commissioners post. The citys 1 percent income tax actually is collected by the Regional Income Tax Agency, an umbrella firm that serves more than 200 Ohio cities. The upshot is that Burton holds both positions, but is not directly in charge of income tax collection, although she must work closely with RITA, said Robertson.

Council adjusted the pay for both po- ways the city can economize and spread sitions, but the ordinance also stipulates out its money to keep its ever-shrinkthe annual compensation for tax com- ing general fund afloat, he said. missioner is zero, and the She also has to run point annual pay of the finance on the RITA stuff, said Robdirector is $72,450. ertson.

179th Year, No. 4

After a Whitewater Township garage burned to the ground recently and fire threatened nearby homes, neighbors are wondering why fire departments didnt use water from a pond close to the scene to battle the blaze. The fire took place in the 6600 block of Morgan Road on Dec. 26, 2011. Morgan Road does not have a municipal water supply and fire departments must rely on water pumped from fire hydrants and transported by tankers provided by the township fire department and mutual aid departments. Whitewater Township has two tanker trucks but must rely on off-duty personnel to retrieve them during an incident, said Township Fire Chief Scott Schorsch. Tankers from Colerain Township, Bright, and Ross Township arrived at the Dec. 26 fire before Whitewater Township tankers could reach the scene. Once water was established, there was no problem, said Schorsch. We had plenty once we got it going. Joe Ihle and John Holscher live on

Morgan Road close to where the fire took place. The men attended a Whitewater Township trustee meeting Monday, Jan. 16, to ask why a pond on Ihles property near the fire could not be used and to offer the pond as a water source to fight future incidents, if needed. Holscher has a road on his adjacent property that could be used by tanker trucks to access the pond. Everyone was showing up with newer equipment but no one could do anything without water, said Holscher. Ihle offered to install a standpipe in his pond and wanted specific information from Schorsch about what type and size of pipe would be needed. If we can get this set up, it could be used to protect seven properties, said Ihle.

Natural source

Township trustee Paul Ziegler agreed the township has many ponds and cisterns that could be used as a source of water for fire protection. It seems like a natural resource that we should have been able to tap, said Ziegler. This is something as a rural

community we need to address. Holscher added that he had a 6,000-gallon cistern that could have been used as a water source to fight the garage fire. Schorsch said that while it may seem logical to pump water from nearby ponds and cisterns, there are some logistical problems that must be overcome first. Being able to drive heavy equipment close enough to a water source without getting stuck can be difficult. There must be an access road sturdy enough to bear the weight of a pumper and its load of water. There are physical limitations to how far you can pump, said township fiscal officer Tim McDonald, a retired Cincinnati firefighter. The only way to practically pump is to have a roadway to get close enough. Most tankers do not have a pump strong enough to pump water over a great distance or height, said Schorsch. Pumps will draft water if water is on the same level as pump, said Schorsch.

The remade lord Ravenal, Ava Gardner (1922-1990) films that come to mind are Show Boat played Julie LaVerne and William Warf(1936 and 1951) and Little Women ield (1920-2002) played Joe.

May Alcott (1832-1888). It is about four sisters coming of age living with their stern mother while their father is serving in the army during the Civil War. The 1933 version is slightly the better. It stars Katharine Hepburn (19072003) as Jo, Joan Bennett (1910-1990) as Amy, Jean Parker (1915-2005) as Beth and Frances Dee (1909-2004) as Meg. The mother, Marmee, is played by Spring Byington (1886-1971) and the father at war is played by Samuel S. Hinds (1875-1948). Our Marilyn has a brief uncredited role as Amys classmate. The 1949 remake, which isnt too bad stars June Allyson (1917-2006) as Jo, Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) as Amy, Margaret OBrien (1937) as Beth and Janet Leigh (1927-2004) as Meg. Mary Astor (1906-1987) is Marmee and the father is played by Leon Ames (19021993). It is with sadness that I mention that most of these great stars in all four films have ended their passing parade. There are only two left: excellent child stars Marilyn Knowlden and Margaret OBrien. I am not sure about Sheila Clark because I cant find any data on her.

Many areas of the township do not have a municipal water supply and firefighters face the challenge of providing water if a fire occurs, said Schorsch. To compound the problem, as the municipal water service area expands in neighboring communities who provide mutual aid, those communities are not finding it necessary to replace their tanker trucks, he said. Morgan Road residents have been promised municipal water for decades and are frustrated that it is taking so long. If someone would have told me Cincinnati would get gambling before we got water I would have said Youre crazy., said Holscher. Trustees have been trying for more than five years to establish a township water district to be operated in conjunction with the township sewer district. A township water district could install water lines at a lower cost than municipal water companies. But the necessary agreement between township and county attorneys has taken longer than anticipated. The Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas is expected to sign off on the district soon.

My Field Marketing Organizations name is Advisors Excel. Each year in January, I attend Advisors Excels World Series of Sales conference. I get to hear great speakers and learn new ways to grow my business and better serve our clients. Each years World Series of Sales gives attendees a wonderful opportunity to share their blessings and make a difference in the lives of others. Advisors Excel tries to leave every venue better than they found it. This year was no exception. They joined together to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish Foundations mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. A group of ~310 Financial Advisors at the conference raised ~$115,000 to have an opportunity to play a major role in the lives of several local children! Ella, age 4, bravely battling a brain tumor, wishes to have an outdoor playhouse that she and her siblings can enjoy. Ellas passions include the color purple, Disney princesses, chocolate cake, arts, crafts and enjoying hours on end playing with her twin sister and little brother. Victoria, age 16, bravely battling renal disease, wishes to fly to New York City for an all-expense-paid shopping spree. She loves fashion and really wants to visit NYC as her family has roots in the city. Victorias favorites include the color blue, listening to music, science, and playing with her two dogs. Kyle, age 16, awaiting a kidney transplant, wishes to visit the Sistine Chapel, the Leaning Tower of Pisa ,and the Coliseum in Italy. He is a huge fan of gladiators and the work of Michelangelo. This would truly be a dream come true. Kristine, age 16, bravely battling osteosarcoma, wishes to visit Italy. A close childhood friend of hers moved there for a year to live with his grandparents. She would love to visit Rome, see St. Peters Basilica, and pray for her continued good health at the Vatican. When I think Im having a bad day, I will remember the life struggles of Ella, Victoria, Kyle, and Kristine. In turn, my wish is that I will strive to make a better world wherever I am and enrich those lives I touch.

Says Sarah
12 sports events that Sarah says are awesome

was fortunate enough to attend quite a few sporting events in 2011.

They were full of fantastic sports happenings. Below are my 12 favorite moments. Why 12? Because 10 moments would not completely encompass the awesomeness that I was subjected too. 12. After being 12 points down, UCs basketball team pulled off a final-seconds victory over Oklahoma in December. Who doesnt love a final-seconds thriller? 11. Having the Yankees play the Reds at home on my birthday. It was considerate of them to have New York

in town for the first time in years on my birthday. 10. As far as college football goes, my heart is with Louisiana State University. (And not just because they are purple). I was able to see them play the University of Tennessee in Knoxville this year. And when LSU was decidedly winning in the second half, chants of LSU! LSU! LSU! drowned out the marching band for Tennessee playing their Rocky Top theme. 9. Being close enough to the bench to smell the Bengay at the LSU versus Tennessee game.

8. For their last home football game, UCs marching band put on a great performance. The entire trumpet section did a choreographed dance to a currently popular song. It was the most entertaining marching band performance I have seen in a long time. 7. During the Cyclones home opener, a huge brawl took place. A brawl that encompassed everyone on the ice. Even the keeper on the far side skated down to flop on the dog pile. 6. Cheering for the Red Sox at Rogers Centre Dome in Toronto. And watching the dome open but wishing it

was closed because of the sudden temperature drop that day. That is right. I saw the Toronto Blue Jays play the Red Sox in Toronto and in Boston. That should have been a spoiler alert as the Fenway moments are next. 5. Seeing the Toronto Blue Jays hit a home run over the Green Monster at Fenway in Boston. Not because I have a special attachment to the Blue Jays but because the Green Monster is a really high green wall (hence the name Green Monster). 4. Eating Big Poppys hot sauce. Not only does he play baseball for the Red Sox, but he makes a pretty delight-

ful condiment. It is a Green Monster-style home run for my taste buds. 3. Being at Fenway. The crowd atmosphere there is indescribable! 2. Getting my first foul ball in May at Great American Ballpark. It helps that it was sleeting and there were about 10 people left in the stadium. But, I would like to think Jay Bruce who was personally thanking me for being such a loyal fan. 1. For anyone who saw this in person or on replay, I think it is an overwhelming top sports moment. Jerome Simpsons front flip into the end zone at the Bengals

game on Christmas Eve. Not only did he hurdle a standing defender but he stuck the landing. It was inspiring. I am waiting for a pivotal moment in my life when I too will be able to hurdle someone for the win. In 2012, I firmly resolve, to have increasingly more amazing experiences, sports related or not.

Q. Can chiropractic care help "whip lash"?

CHIROPRACTIC / ACUPUNCTURE

A. Yes, my office treats "whip lash" on a daily basis, most injured patients suffer from "whip lash" which is most often due to a motor vehicle accident. "Whip lash" usually results in instability of the spine and soft tissue which contributes to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the Raymond Stricker shoulder, arms, and hands. People often D.C. LLC have reduced ability to turn or bend their head and many times have low back problems. Many times people do not experience pain from a motor vehicle accident right away. I believe that chiropractors best treat people with "whip lash" by first passively treating the injury with modalities such as pulsed ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and chiropractic manipulation. Some of my patients also receive mechanical traction, massage therapy, or even acupuncture. On occasion I do recommend homeopathic supplements which are anti inflammatories as well as natural muscle relaxers. If you have any questions regarding "whip lash" or what chiropractic can do to help you please feel free to contact my office.

Q: Winter is upon us, should I be concerned about what salt spray from the road might do to my car? A: This is a very good question, and one that affects all of us. Salt is applied to the roads for a very good reason: however, salt spray is not a good thing to remain on the surfaces of our cars for an extended period of time. Salt can break down the coatings on our cars over time, and this can lead to exposed metal in areas and we do not want that. It is important to remove the salt spray from your car. None of us like the white, hazy appearance that Ed Gerstner salt spray creates on the outside of our vehicles, but the outside of our vehicles is the easiest place to clean and it may be the best protected area. If you really want to clean your car of salt spray, also focus on the following areas: 1. Pressure wash the wheel wells. 2. Wipe out the door jambs and the interior edges of your doors very well. 3. Pressure wash the underside of your vehicle. 4. Remember, rust starts from the inside out, so it is important to clean the salt spray from surfaces you cannot see when looking at your car (such as underneath your vehicle). Here at Randy Lanes Auto Body, we offer full Detailing Services. This service is a complete cleaning of the exterior of the vehicle, all interior trim panels, windows, floor mats, door jambs, and inside door frames; engine compartment pressure wash; chip and scratch touchup, complete outer body buff and paint seal.

Q: Dr. Ringel, how can diabetes affect my eyes?

OPTOMETRIST

A: Diabetes, and its complications, can affect many parts of the eye. A person with diabetes may experience fluctuating or blurring of vision, occasional double vision, night vision problems and flashes Michael F. Ringel, O.D. and floaters within the eyes. Diabetes can cause cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. Vision loss from diabetes is preventable. A dilated eye examination can detect the early stages of diabetic eye disease, when treatment is very effective. I routinely examine and follow patients with diabetes, here in my Harrison office. I encourage all individuals afflicted with diabetes to undergo a thorough eye examination on an annual basis.

Q. How can I get some guaranteed income in retirement?

MONEY MANAGEMENT

ADVERTISING

A. You could place some of your retirement money on deposit with a highly rated insurance company by purchasing a Fixed Indexed Annuity (FIA) and add a Lifetime Income Benefit Rider (LIBR). FIAs are fixed annuities that provide an opportunity to potentially earn more interest than Roger Ford traditional fixed annuities and other safer money alternatives. This is done by linking interest earned on an increase in an equity index such as the S&P 500. A very important benefit is that your premium and credited interest can never be lost due to index volatility. The LIBR allows you to take a lifetime income from your annuity without losing control of your retirement assets. This is possible because the lifetime income is in the form of regular withdrawals from your contract rather than annuitized payments. The benefit payout percentage is based upon your age at the time you elect payments. Your guaranteed payments may also be stopped and restarted at your discretion. Income can continue on for the surviving spouse. Level or increasing payment options are available. At death, the remaining principal is passed on to the beneficiaries. Call us for a complimentary appointment to see how a FIA with a LIBR can benefit you.

Hylelites Thank goodness for rivalries

Ive made no secret over the years of my love for basketball, so covering the Harrison Wildcats basketball team for most of the past 25 years has been a form of purgatory for me. There have been moments of some small success, but there has been even more mind-numbing failure. That said, last Saturday night, Harrison and East Central squared off in their annual battle at the Harrison Activity Center. The BoB arena hadnt been this electric Hyle in two years, not coincidentally, the last time these two teams got together in Harrison. It wasnt great basketball, but it was exciting - something weve thankfully seen more of in the past three seasons. EC lost its top player to injury earlier this year and was coming off a heart attack-inducing loss to South Dearborn the night before. Harrison also lost a tough game the night before, and its top player was ejected from the game, which meant he would have to sit and watch while his teammates took on their biggest rival. I cant blame people for not attending basketball games in the same numbers that came years ago. People arent nearly as excited about watching who represents good old Harrison High. We sometimes lament that kids have too many options with their free time today, so we dont see them organizing their own games in the park or on the corner lot. The same can be said for adults attending the high school games in insular communities such as Harrison - there are a lot of options. I guess we should be happy that, at least, we have the Harrison/East Central game to look forward to each year. I wrote several weeks ago about the Xavier and UC rivalry, well Harrison and EC is the same thing on a slightly smaller level. This years version featured two loud and animated student sections. It was the largest student turnout for a basketball game from Harrison in two years and they were all decked out in camouflage shirts, including camo warmups for the team. (Im not sure if this was a salute to the military or to hunting. I have my opinion, but for once Ill keep it to myself.) Since East Central won the football game between the two schools in August, the EC student section reminded the Harrison students of this point. Harrisons rejoinder was to chant the name of Gunner Kiel, the quarterback from Columbus North High School whose team eliminated the Trojans from the football playoffs. A quiz of the Harrison students to identify Kiel probably would have drawn some quizzical looks from many of the students themselves, but Ill give some credit to the chant leaders for raising the level of discourse. It certainly beat the vulgarism the EC students chanted for every perceived bad call from the referees. Youve got to save that one for a really bad call, Trojan fans, not a traveling violation on one of your own. In my perfect world, we would have games like this all the time, not just once a season, but we can, at least, be thankful that we have Harrison vs. East Central on the schedule every year. They may not be the best teams in the area and the games may not be the best played, but who cares? Thank goodness for rivalries. They bring out our passions.

Plugged In

Uncle is convinced that hes getting gypped

Its that time again folks. Are you one of those early birds who have already fired off your 2011 tax return? Hope you had all of your papers. Invariably I will get a phone call from one of my clients around the first of March asking me if the 1099 or K-1 form that they just got in the mail is important. Jim RoBeRtson Of course they had already succumbed to refund fever and filed their return the first of February. In that case the taxpayer is saddened to find out that they must amend their return and most likely pay some of that refund back. Lets be clear. It is stated that employee copies of W-2 forms must be out by Jan. 31. While the federal instructions for such forms say that, they generally dont enforce it closely. They are more interested in the timeliness of the filed copies which arent due until the end of February. Forms 1099 for interest income, dividends, rentals, miscellaneous income, etc. as well as Forms 1098 for mortgage interest or education expenses are generally supposed to be on the same schedule. These forms are not closely policed, again because the file forms for the government are not due until the end of February. K-1 forms which are generated by partnerships, estates, trusts and small corporations can not be prepared generally until the tax return is prepared for the entity that is issuing them so it may be late in the tax season before the taxpayer receives their copy. A word to the taxpayer is in order. You are responsible for your income whether you receive a document or not. There are procedures for filing taxes when W-2s or 1099s are not provided. Dont resort to them on Feb. 2. The IRS will not accept these until after such time as they have not received their copies, which again is the end of February. The fabulous Making Work Pay credit has disappeared. So for those of you that eked by not paying taxes due to the extra $400 or $800 in tax credits allowed in the past several years, you might be out of luck. There is a new form on which to report capital gains. The form, 8949, is used to put down the individual sale transactions before carrying the totals to Schedule D where they were reported in the past. This no doubt is because the amount of stock transactions occasioned by investment brokers and daytraders has radically increased over the last few years. Uncle is convinced that hes getting hosed on basis valuations and wants to be able to inspect each transaction if he so chooses. So if your investment broker was buying and selling at a fever pitch be prepared to have to back up each and every sale when preparing your return. If you claim mileage for business, medical or charitable purposes be aware that the rates for the year 2011 are two tiered. So you will have to account for your miles. Hint: Dont try to claim 99 percent of them after July 1st, unless you didnt start your job until then.

That could have been her story, but her mentors led her to volunteer for 25 years as a Suzzi Romines mentor with Big Brothers Big Big Sister Sisters of Greater Cincinnati, which serves Harrison. When I heard about Big Brothers Big Sisters, and how being paired with a child could make a positive difference, I knew Id found where I belonged. Romines has been matched with six young girls over 25 years: Melanie, Lisa, Maggie, Jenny, Paula and now, Searcy, 13. The two hours she gives each week is little compared to what she has gained by empowering young girls who are talented, excel in school and life, and can make a difference for themselves and others. Ninety-nine percent of children in the program are in school, substance-abuse free, and not involved in juvenile courts, she said.My family cherishes the time with my Little Sister as much as I do. They realize how important and rewarding this relationship is. Big Brothers Big Sisters serves children in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Indiana.

Column unites women for talk about relative

Longtime subscriber Dorris Seeley Bourquein turns first to the twice-monthly Times Remembered column when The Press arrives. Recently, she came on Terry Viels story, George, the Doughboy, telling the story of World War I veteran George Ashley. Dorris contacted The Press and Terry called back, making sure she made a connection with his source for the story, Harrison resident, Marcia Nugent Grant. Marcia followed up her own call to Dorris when she visited Dorris home in Manchester, Ind. The two women discovered their unofficial relative status is through the marriage of George Ashley, Dorris mothers brother, to Fern Hahn, the sister of Marcias grandmother. Dorris is Georges niece, and Marcia is Ferns great-niece. Even though Dorris and Marcia are separated by one generation, they discovered many common memories. They had never met, but both of them visited Uncle George and Aunt Ferns brick home on Park Avenue in Harrison. Both recall the large porch and the unusual mail slot in the front door, which ended in a glass box on the interior side of the door. For hours, they recall, the young girls admired the delicate objects housed in the china closet, as well as the clothes chute where laundry magically disappeared. Marcia has had Uncle Georges diary since Aunt Ferns death. This is the diary that Uncle George wrote in every single day of his short stint in the Army, beginning March 7, 1918, until six months later, when the war ended. Marcia also has photos of unidentified people, and she shared both the diary and the pictures with Dorris on her visit.Dorris looked at the photos and quickly recognized an image of her parents from more than 80 years ago, a photograph she had never seen. Marcia also gave Dorris a copy of Uncle Georges wartime diary. As the women parted, Dorris handed to Marcia a porcelain figurine of a pointed-ear dog from the china closet. The little dog represents a special memory both of them have of those days of gazing at the wonders inside that china closet. And, according to Marcia, a characteristic of their gentle Aunt Fern, who never complained about all the fingerprints and nose prints of those curious little visitors. Dorris appreciates that she has met a lovely woman and made a new friend. She goes on: Marcia and I are remembering together. My family who lived these childhood memories with me are all gone now, but I can smile and talk about long forgotten days again because Marcia lived them, too.What a precious gift she gave me this Christmas. - Terry Viel

Wildcats whip EC for first time in 8 years
Harrison screams back from 12 to take Trojans 49-43
Bob Hyle Contributing Writer

Playing at home before its biggest crowd of the year, the Harrison Wildcats basketball team rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit and held on for a 49-43 victory over East Central on Saturday. It was the first win for the Cats over their Indiana rivals in eight years. We played hard, said Harrison coach Eric Ebrens. A lot of that comes from Jake (Tarvin), even though Jake couldnt play that game. Tarvin was ejected from the game Friday night in a 46-36 loss to Ross. Tarvin was charged with an intentional foul as he tried to stop a Ross player on a breakaway, according to Ebrens. The Ross player pushed Tarvin and Tarvin reacted with a push of his own. Both players were ejected which calls for an automatic twogame suspension. For Tarvin, that meant the EC game and the Mount Healthy game scheduled for Tuesday night of this week. I told the kids weve had to play a lot without Jake this

yea - pretty much the whole first half against Norwood, said Ebrens. We dont want to play without him, but we can do it. To beat the Trojans, young players stepped up, particularly in the second half. I got on the sophomores pretty hard at halftime. Theyve had 11 games and they cant use (their youth) as a crutch. Sophomores Jake Urbanski and A.J. Glines helped key the second half run with Urbanski scoring seven points and Glines scoring 5. A third sophomore, Connor McCurley, scored five of his nine points in the second half. Press works for Cats The Wildcats pressed EC in the second half and the move worked to Harrisons advantage. The Trojans turned the ball over eight times in the second half and missed 22 of 27 shots, while Harrison made 10 of 21 shots and committed just four turnovers. I challenged Nick Steele at halftime, too, said Ebrens. He did step up in the second half, guarding (PayPHOTO BY SANDY MINOR/Harrison Press

Nick did a good job with his length. Steele also stepped up on offense and on the backboards, ending up with a double-double; 12 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Shane Page led all scorers with 15 points. Page had nine of Harrisons 11 points in the first quarter, but didnt score again until the fourth quarter. Against Ross, Harrison held a seven-point lead at halftime, but the Rams came out strong in the second half. Tarvins ejection didnt help as the Cats were unable to get much going on offense in the final two quarters. Page led the Cats with 11 points and Steele added 10. We just made too many mental mistakes, particularly in the second half, said Ebrens. Harrison travels to Mount Healthy on Tuesday and hosts Norwood on Thursday night. A junior high wrestling tournament this weekend cost the varsity basketball team a home game over the weekend. Norwood beat Harrison in December 60-54 on their way to a 7-0 start on the season. The Indians have lost four of their last five games and are tied with Harrison and Talawanda for fifth place with 2-4 records in the Western division of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference.

Wrestlers lose big, win big, fall short in tight one

Bob Hyle Contributing Writer

It was a mixed bag for the Harrison Wildcats wrestling team last week. They were beaten by Mason, the second-ranked team in Greater Cincinnati, they lost a close match to St. Xavier, and handily defeated Mount Healthy. Mason defeated the Wildcats 46-12. Three Harrison wrestlers won matches: Thomas Fay at 113 lb., Josh Gober at 138 lb., and Truman Gutapfel at 220 lb. Fay defeated Ruben Victoria at 113 lb. Victoria finished third in the state a year ago at 103 lb. Victoria had defeated Fay in three earlier matches. That was a big win for Thomas, said Harrison coach Chad Dennis. Gober moved down in weight at 138 lb. for the first time this season, and Dennis said Gober will remain there for the rest of the season. Gutapfel defeated Daniele Tedoldi, a state alternate last season with a first-period pin. Trumans just trying to stake his claim, said Dennis. Three Harrison wrestlers had close losses: John Sittason, Tim Broderick, and

Matt Pruetz. The score looked like a blowout, but I didnt think we wrestled poorly, said Dennis. The36-34 loss to St. Xavier bothered Dennis more because he felt his team should have won that match. Mistakes cost us some big-time points, said Dennis. Six Harrison wrestlers won matches including Tyler Napier, Fay, Broderick, Gober, Gutapfel and John Sittason. Harrison demolished Mount Healthy 69-9. Harrison lost just two matches, which Dennis said could hurt Harrison wrestlers for the Fort Ancient Valley Conference meet in another week. Harrison has a match at Elder on Thursday night and is at home against Lakota West on Saturday night. Seeding for the sectional tournament will be next Sunday. Because some Division I schools have dropped to Division II this year, there will be just two sectional tournaments in the Cincinnati area this year. Being a district qualifier is going to mean a lot more this year than in the past few years, said Dennis.

Girls take two; 6-3 in conference

Bob Hyle Contributing Writer

Losing wears on a team, said Harrison Ladycats basketball coach Stuart Scrivner. A couple of wins can pump you up. Thats exactly what the Ladycats got last week as they defeated both Norwood and Edgewood for the second time this season to improve to 6-8 overall and 6-3 in the Fort Ancient Valley Conferences Western division, which places them in fourth place in the league. Weve got six games left in the regular season, and weve already beaten two of those teams, said Scrivner. Maybe we can show some improvement against the other four. The offense perked up for the Ladycats last week. Only four players scored in the 43-36 win over Norwood, but three of them - Alle Salatin, Nikki Ferneding and Erica Knollman were in double figures. Harrison hit its first five shots against the Indians opening up a 17-4 lead, but Norwood clawed back and trailed by just four at halftime. Harrison got the lead back up to double digits in the third quarter, and it stayed there for most of the game. Northwest, a struggling program with just one victory this season, offered little opposition as Harrison won 70-28. Three more Harrison players were in double figures as Knollman had 12, Kaley Myers 11 and Salatin added 11. Ferneding was scoreless, but came up with seven steals. After making six of 10 three-pointers against Norwood, Harrison went six of 14 from the arc against Northwest. Harrison also made more than 70 percent of its free throws against Northwest, the first time this season they have shot better than 70 percent at the line.

Ladycat Kaley Meyers skies as she eyes the basket against Northwest.
(Poor foul shooting) has hurt us a lot this year, said Scrivner. Harrison needs a win over Edgewood on Wednesday to hold off the Cougars, who are a game behind Harrison in the FAVC standings. The Ladycats defeated Edgewood earlier this year, 41-33, at Harrison. Next Monday, Harrison is home against Winton Woods. The Warriors lost for the first time this season against Mount Healthy last Saturday and defeated Harrison earlier this year 56-25.

Football team looking for O coordinator

The Harrison Wildcats football team is in the market for a new offensive coordinator for the 2012 football season as last years coordinator, T.J. Vonderheide, is expected to be named head coach at BoB Talawanda. Vonderheide, an Hyle East Central graduate, formed a relationship with Harrison coach Kent McCullough when they were teammates at Miami University. Vonderheide originally was brought in to serve as quarterback coach last summer, but assumed the coordinators job when Jim Barre left the position. McCullough reports he has been interviewing candidates for the job, and indicated there may be some reshuffling of the returning staff members. He said he hoped to have a replacement lined up sometime in February. *** It took a while, but The Cincinnati Enquirer finally named its all-city teams for the fall sports. Four Harrison athletes earned first-team all-city status; three in football and one in golf. The football players are seniors Kyle Nowlin and Marcus Woelfel on offense and Jake Tarvin on defense. Nowlin, who was named first-team all-state as a wide receiver for the second straight season, was not named as one of the all-city performers as a receiver, but rather for his all-around play. In addition to his receiving skills, Nowlin was a punt and kick returner, place kicker, and punter for the Cats. Woelfel was named as a first-team quarterback, and Tarvin was honored for his work at linebacker. Junior

Zuber sets most points in season for Ladycat swimmers

Bob Hyle Contributing Writer

The Harrison girls swim team lost to Taylor last Saturday, but junior freestyler Sammi Zubers win in the 50 freestyle put her at the head of the list for Harrison girls as she set records for most points in a season and in a career. Zuber broke the singleseason point record previously held by Amiee Glindmeyer, who earned 165.5 points in her 2005-06 season. Zuber, with a least four meets remaining this season, has 173.75 points. Zuber also passed Jo Hirlingers record of 468.75 career points from 2007-11. Zuber currently has 476.50 points. Sammi is a sprinter and a very good one at that, said Harrison coach Mike Brossart. Going into this season, I told myself to let her focus primarily on those two events, the 50 and the 100 freestyle. It has paid off with her scoring more points for the team this way instead of having her try to win the 200 IM or the 100 butterfly.

Double victory

The girls swim team defeated Ross and Northwest on Wednesday in a tri meet. Harrison had 71 points to 38 for Ross and 23 for Northwest. Swimmers who had season best times: Taylor Frank in the 500 freestyle, Emma Estes in the 200 freestyle, Anna Carnevale in the 100 butterfly, Hanna Neyer in the 200 IM, Morgan Baskirk in the 50 freestyle, and Anna Roell in the 100 backstroke. The girls lost to Fairfield on Saturday, but managed to defeat Hamilton. Scores were Fairfield 58, Harrison 22, and Hamilton 15. Rachel McIntyre lead the

way with two season best times in the 100 and 200 freestyle. Other good times were turned in by Ashley Michel in the 50 freestyle, Neyer in the 500 freestyle, Julie Kleiner in the 100 backstroke, and Roell in the 100 butterfly. Zuber provided the only first place finish for the girls in the 50 freestyle. The boys swim team defeated Ross and Northwest by a score of Harrison 72, Northwest 33, Ross 8. Brody Betsch continues to improve in every meet with another season best time in the 50 freestyle. Kyle Kinsel had season-best times in the 100 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, while Adam Graham did the same in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Two other swimmers with season-best times were Zach Chase in the 100 backstroke and Drew Kinsel in the 500 freestyle. Saturday produced very little in the ways of season best times. We worked very hard at practice on Tuesday and Thursday night to get ourselves ready for the FAVC meet next week, said Brossart. We swam very tired on Saturday.

Boys bowling team locks up second

Bob Hyle Contributing Writer

In the middle

The Boys also claimed second in the tri-meet: Fairfleld 72, Harrison 32, Hamilton 11. Ethan Roell had a seasonbest time in the 200 freestyle, with Ryan Stamper having a season best time in the 500 freestyle. Nick Kling provided the only first place finish for the boys in the 100 butterfly. Harrisons top swimmer, Alex Hutchinson, was unable to attend due to a college visit.

The Harrison boys bowling team appears to have locked up second place in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Western division after defeating Edgewood twice last week. Edgewood was tied with Harrison entering last week. Harrison, two games behind first-place Northwest in the standings, has completed its team competition with the Knights this season. Harrisons high numbers continued last week against Edgewood. The team won against the Cougars 27692440 at Harrison Bowl. Dylan Wages led the way with the high game, a 259, and the high series, a 476. Tyler McCowan also had a pair of 200 games with

scores of 202 and 218 for a 420 series. Sean Maley added a 202 game. The score was a lot closer at Edgewoods home lanes the next day as Harrison edged the Cougars 27942745 at Eastern Bowl. Four of Harrisons five bowlers had 400 series in the match, led by Maley with a high game of 269. Throw in his game of 224 and Maley had a high series total of 493. Wages, Nick Johnson, and Chris Hans also had 400 series. Wages had a 242 game, Johnson had games of 209 and 204, Hans had a 222 game, and McCowan had a 205 game. The boys rolled some really great games, particularly Maley and Wages said Harrison coach Todd Sams. They were on top of it. The Harrison girls had to

be content with practicing this week. Edgewood does not field a girls team, and Sams was unable to find replacements on the schedule. The girls were able to practice at both matches, according to Sams, which could be beneficial in the long run because Eastern Bowl will

host the district tournament in February, and Harrisons Gabby Grubbs has a good shot at qualifying for the district, according to Sams. Harrison has matches at Harrison Bowl with Mount Healthy and Sycamore this week.

Ivy Tech Corporate College has recently launched online ICD-10 compliance training, as required for nationwide health care reform, mandating all health care providers to be ICD-10 compliant by Oct. 1, 2014. ICD-10 is a nationwide upgrade of the ICD-9 medical records coding system used by health care providers nationwide. ICD-10 helps reduce costs and improve quality of care to patients, as well as provides essential data for organizations to measure service quality, safety and efficiency.

Ivy Tech offering online training for health care providers

Health care providers who upgrade to ICD-10 will be better aligned with worldwide coding standards and will be able to provide an earlier prediction of health threats on a local, regional, statewide, national or worldwide basis. Ivy Tech will provide three tiers of training for health care providers, all accessible online, including seminars for executives and management, coder assessments to evaluate baseline knowledge of current staff members, biomedical clinical programs and ICD-10 code training. The three tiered approach provides biomedical science assessments complete with detailed reporting and subsequent refresher courses with ICD-10 concepts built in. This allows current coders to assess in advance, giving them time to review concepts in Anatomy & Physiology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Medical Terminology providing a much higher likelihood of success once they begin the actual ICD-10 training. The training will be offered in partnership with Career Step and YES-Health Information Management Consulting, and will be based upon recommendations by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as well as the American Health Information Management Association. For more information, please visit www.ivytech.edu/ icd-10. Also, only two training opportunities remain to participate under the grant in the short-term, 6 month online Health Information Technology program, launched in July 2011, focused on training individuals to fill a much needed gap in todays health care workforce. Working professionals with a background in either Healthcare or Information Technology are now eligible to participate in the 6-month training program in a collaborative partnership between Ivy Tech and Cuyahoga Community College. The cost of the 6-month online training is $1,597 and significant scholarship funding is available for eligible participants, while it lasts. The training includes several dif-

ferent tracks, including practice workflow and information management redesign specialists, clinical/practitioner specialists, information support specialists, implementation managers, technical/software support staff and trainers. Interested students may apply by completing an online application at www.ivytech.edu/hit-training. These programs are short-term, noncredit certificates and incorporate a hybrid delivery model which combines faceto-face lectures with industry experts and hands-on labs.

Basics of property taxes

Paying property taxes is a necessary side effect of home ownership. Across the United States and Canada, residents are required to pay property taxes based on an assessment of their homes value. Taxes on land and the buildings on it are one of the biggest sources of revenue for local governments. In the United States, property taxes are not imposed by the states, but by the smaller governing bodies in cities, towns, townships, counties, and other jurisdictions. In Canada, property taxes, or milliage taxes, are levied by the jurisdiction in which the property is located. They may be paid to a federated state or a municipality or the national government. Sometimes multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property. Although the taxes are mandated by a higher governing power, the rate at which you pay taxes could be based on a very local assessment of the area in which your house is located and the current market conditions. An assessor will visit a home, usually prior to purchase, and make a determination on the percentage of tax to be paid depending on the condition of the home, the improvements that have been made and the climate of the economy in your particular town or city. Property taxes are usually calculated by taking the assessed value of your home and multiplying it by the tax rate that has been determined by your local government. While no one can legally escape paying property taxes, there are several ways to have them lowered. Getting your home reassessed is one such way. Individuals who have reached a certain age may be eligible for certain discounts on property taxes. But this may require a very low income to qualify. There are also some tax credits or homestead exemptions that may qualify you for a limited assessed value on the property. According to data from the Tax Foundation and Forbes, areas of New Jersey, New York and Illinois boast some of the highest property taxes. Residents of Hunterdon County, New Jersey paid on average $8,600 a year between 2005 and 2009. Those in Lake County, Illinois pay around $6,500. People living in Westchester County, New York can plan on spending $8,400 per year. Statistics indicate that homes located in Ontario cities in central Canada have the highest property taxes. Toronto residents, for example, pay an average of $3,900. In this tough economy, lowering property taxes (which are generally rolled into the mortgage amount for ease of payment) could substantially reduce bills. As many as 60 percent of properties across the United States are overassessed, according to the National Taxpayers Union, a nonprofit group that promotes lower taxes. If you suspect your property taxes are high, here are the steps to take. Getacopyofyourprop ertytaxassessmentfrom thelocalassessorsoffice anddouble-checkallthe informationcontainedto seeifitiscorrect.

Anindependentapprais ercanalsoprovideyouaccurateinformationata cost.Makesureheorshe islicensedwiththeNationalAssociationofIndependentFeeAppraisersorby theAmericanSocietyof Appraisers. Its not possible to lower the property tax rate, just the assessed value of the home through an official appeal. There may be fees associated with this appeal, however. Some home improvements will increase the value of your home and, in turn, your property taxes. Here are some of the most common culprits: extrastoriestothehome outbuildings,likea guesthouse sportscourts,liketennis installationofanin groundpool improvementstofencing additionofagarageor anotherroomonthehome A change in the status of a neighborhood can also give rise to higher property taxes. An influx of new residents or new construction of stores and homes can have a major effect on the assessed value of your home.

Hamilton speaker for Ind. Chamber dinner

The Chambers 2012 Legislative Dinner cuts through the partisan political atmosphere that is so prevalent today with a presentation from former Hoosier congressman and longtime statesman Lee Hamilton. The annual pre-dinner reception offers an opportunity to interact with Indiana legislators and other policy leaders. Hoosier business leaders, legislators and statewide leaders will be able to hear from Hamilton, the featured speaker at the 2012 Indiana Chamber Legislative Dinner, on February 15 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis. During his time in Washington, Hamilton was chair of a number of committees, including the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. A Democrat, he represented Indianas ninth district in southern Indiana. Following his career in Congress, Hamilton was involved with several governmental advisory boards, including the 9/11 Commission and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. In addition to Hamiltons insights, Legislative Dinner attendees will get to mix and mingle with Indiana legislators. With important legislation being considered by the 2012 Indiana General Assembly, its vital for Hoosiers to interact with policymakers and communicate their priorities. A limited number of tables and individual tickets are available for purchase. A single ticket for the dinner (including a ticket to the reception) is $149. A table of eight, which includes admission to the reception, is $995. This event is brought to you by Eli Lilly and Company. Gold sponsors include Comcast Business Class and Ice Miller LLP. Silver sponsors are AT&T; Bose Public Affairs Group LLC; Delta Dental Plan of Indiana; French Lick Resort; Lincoln Financial Group; NIPSCO; Pfizer; Roche Diagnostics Corporation; Smithville Communications, Inc.; and Zimmer, Inc.

When the time comes to make New Years resolutions, the conventional wisdom is to focus on weight. Such wisdom is understandable, as many people spend the holiday season indulging in big meals and all the treats synonymous with having fun. While its acceptable to make healthy resolutions, a slimmer waist and a healthier diet should not be the only goals for the year ahead. In light of the last several years, its important for men and women to make financial resolutions for the year ahead, too. No one can say with certainty when, or if, the economy will rebound, and men and women should look at the New Year as a suitable time to make some financial resolutions for the future. Reassess your investment plan. Since 2008, the market has been up and down like a roller coaster. Those who have weathered the storm have no doubt witnessed big gains and significant losses over the last few years, and the turn of the calendar is a great time to reassess investments and possibly make some changes. Are you taking on more

Resolve to make finances healthy

risk than youre comfortable with? Is your portfolio too conservative? How well are you diversifying? Look at your investments from every angle and determine if its time to make some changes. Resolve to be more liquid. A 2011 poll from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling found that 64 percent of Americans would need to utilize a source other than their savings account to pay for a $1,000 unplanned expense. That percentage illustrates that most adults just dont have enough cash on hand. This year, resolve to be more liquid. Being more liquid enables you to more effectively handle emergencies, and it also helps you avoid being forced to sell investments at the wrong time. Shake things up. If you rely on one individual to handle all of your financial needs, such a practice needs to change. No matter how much you trust this person, dont fall into a trap where one person acts as your financial svengali. Such an arrangement proved very costly to those men and women who trusted the likes of Bernie Madoff, a once-prominent financier who turned out to be nothing more than a criminal mastermind orchestrating historys largest Ponzi scheme. This year, if you havent done so already, make sure your financial advisor, money manager, custodian, and trustee are all different people. Negotiate lower rates. Use the onset of the New Year as a chance to negotiate newer and lower interest rates on existing loans or credit cards. If you have exercised financial responsibility over the last 12 months, paying down debts and paying all bills on time, this is the perfect time to negotiate lower rates and reap the rewards of your good behavior. Dont invest in anything you dont understand. Too often investors get caught up in so-called expert forecasts and act impulsively based on the advice of some talking head they see on television or hear on the radio. Unfortunately, such experts arent always certified financial professionals, and some might even have ulterior motives for pushing certain investments and shunning others. Whats more, few people know the track record of

these experts, so their advice should not be taken at face value. A simple rule for the year ahead should

be to never invest in anything you dont understand. If an investment opportunity seems worthwhile, do

all of your homework to gain a solid understanding of the opportunity before investing any money.
