COLLECTION TIME

Whitman

GREEN TWP. – Helen Smithsaid she has the utmost respectfor Julie Caddell’s dedication tomaking the lives of others bet-ter.

“I have worked with Juliefor several years,” said Smith,who, along with Caddell, is a so-cial worker at Mercy Health –West Hospital.

“Julie is the best of neigh-bors.”

She nominated Caddell, aGreen Township resident, as aNeighbor Who Cares becauseof her work with the Jeffrey G.Hoeh Memorial Fund.

“She has rallied many of herfamily, friends and neighborsto give the blessing of hope tofamilies suffering from the im-pact of cancer or other cata-strophic diseases,” Smith said.

Caddell’s parents estab-lished the memorial fund in1989 in memory of her brother,Jeffrey, who lost his battle tocancer. Caddell now overseesthe memorial fund and organiz-es an annual July golf outing toraise money for the fund,which provides monetary do-nations to four to six peopleeach year who are fighting can-cer or other illnesses.

“Through the Jeffrey G.Hoeh Memorial Fund, Julieand her family have raisedover $1 million, with all of theproceeds going directly to re-cipients,” Smith said.

“To date, her efforts havetouched the lives of at least 179families in the Greater Cincin-nati area.”

In addition to the memorialfund, Smith said Caddell alsoprovides a Christmas Eve din-ner each year to families stay-ing at the Ronald McDonaldHouse, bringing joy and happi-ness to children and familieswho are away from home atChristmas.

“While Julie works hard toorganize the annual golf outingevery year, she does not see itas a burden,” Smith said. “Shesees it as a way to make a dif-ference in the lives of othersand to honor the kindness, sup-port and encouragement herown family received from oth-ers during her brother’s ill-ness.”

Caddell said she’s honoredto continue the memorial fundher late parents founded andpay forward the love and sup-port her family received whenher brother was sick.

“Being able to give a sub-stantial amount of money tosomeone who is going througha catastrophic illness and say‘spend it however you want,’ isawesome,” she said.

“To me, that’s what it’s allabout; helping people whenthey’re in need.”

Green Twp. residentsalways there to lend ahelping hand

GREEN TWP. – Frank ShautSr. said his neighbors, Mike andAimee Reilly, deserve recogni-tion as Neighbors Who Care be-cause they can always be count-ed on to help others.

“We have been neighbors forabout 15 years,” the Breeze-wood Drive resident said. “Any-time we need help Mike and Ai-

mee are there for us.” Shaut said Aimee helped or-

ganize a neighborhood watchprogram and sends out emailsdetailing crimes in the neigh-borhood to let folks know to beon the lookout.

“She also organized a meet-ing with the Green Township po-lice so that they could give usadvice to protect our homes,”Shaut said.

Green Township woman supports those fighting illnessKurt [email protected]

THE STORIES CONTINUE TO INSPIREWe asked if you knew someone who regularly embodies the spirit of Neighbors

Who Care – maybe they brought you food during an illness, or looked after yourhouse while you were gone, or cleared your driveway during snow, or helped pick updebris after a storm – or maybe they just provide a friendly face, or listen when youneed to talk to someone.

We have picked some of the best, and share them with you.Thanks to you, and to them, for making our holiday editions memorable.

There have been a cou-ple of times his lawnmow-er broke down, and he saidMike came right over tofix it and also cut his grassfor him when his lawn-mower was on the fritz.He said Mike has alsoplowed the snow off hisdriveway several times inthe winter.

Shaut said one day his

wife was locked out oftheir home and Mikecame over to remove adoor to let her in.

“Whenever we go outof town we ask them tokeep an eye on our houseand they graciously agreeto do so,” he said.

“I strongly recom-mend Mike and Aimee forNeighbors Who Care.”

Aimee Reilly said shehelped set up the neigh-borhood watch programabout a year ago afterthere were a few break-ins in the area.

“I send out emails toalert people of things inthe neighborhood,” shesaid. “Watching out foreach other is the way wetry to keep everyone safe.It only takes one person tospot something not right.”

She said their quaintneighborhood is filledwith families from Our

Lady of Lourdes parishand school, as well as oth-er schools and churches,and they all try to help oneanother in times of need –whether it’s cutting some-one’s grass, shovelingsnow or preparing a meal.

“Back when we had thebig ice storm, we all cameout with chainsaws andwent yard to yard,” Reillysaid.

“We have a greatneighborhood.”

Delhi woman sparkssmiles, upliftsspirits

DELHI TWP. – CathyMcNamee said it’s nearlyimpossible to get awayfrom Mary Lacey withouta positive vibe.

“She is one of the best,uplifting Neighbors WhoCare,” the Delhi Townshipresident said of Lacey.

The list of things Laceydoes for others is virtual-ly unending, she said.

McNamee said herneighbor volunteered topaint the kitchen at St.William School all by her-self, planted flowers andwatered gardens at St.William for many years,makes homemade Greekbaklava at Christmas andwalks to deliver it aroundthe neighborhood andmade peanut butter andjelly sandwiches for stu-dents who had no lunchwhile working for manydecades in the St. WilliamSchool cafeteria.

“She made sure nochild went hungry,”McNamee said.

“After my shouldersurgery this year shewalked over to my housewith a pecan pie in hand,to wish me a get well.”

Lacey took in hergrandson about threeyears ago and does his

laundry and ironing, andwakes up to make him ahearty breakfast and hashomemade dinners forhim in the evening, shesaid.

Friends regularly callher because they knowshe always has a story tokeep them laughing andputs them in a good mood,McNamee said.

“After Mass on Sun-days at St. William shesmiles and greets themany friends she hasmade throughout theyears. Mary always has asmile and a story,” shesaid.

“She is a wonderfulguardian angel who praysand looks out for others.She keeps track of peopleand how they’re doing.”

She said Lacey’s homeand yard are immaculateand she takes pride in tak-ing care of what she owns.

“It is not unusual to seeher on her hands andknees pulling weeds andplanting flowers andpatching the driveway,”McNamee said. “She haseven been seen on the lad-der trimming her treesand bushes.”

While her husband wasin dialysis, she said Laceygreeted the other patientsand their families and as-sisted them wheneverneeded.

After her husbanddied, she worked as a sub-stitute teacher for the OakHills Local School Dis-trict and was especiallygood with autistic stu-dents, McNamee said.

“She is always promptwith a thank you note orget well card in the mailwhen the time arises,” shesaid. “She seems to put asmile on every face shecomes in contact with, andno one is a stranger.”

Lacey said she simplyenjoys making peoplehappy.

“I always try to makepeople laugh,” she said.“That’s what I try to do formy neighbors. They justhave a fit when they seeme up on the ladder.”

She can’t imaginetreating others with any-thing but kindness.

“I think that’s whatwe’re put on earth for, tohelp others and do whatyou can for others,” Laceysaid. “That’s what life isall about.”

Just a few weeks ago,she said neighbors Debo-rah and Don Smith sur-prised her with a treat ofchicken salad, fruits andhomemade cookies.

“How blessed I am tobe surrounded by neigh-bors who care,” Conwaysaid.

Nienhaus, who haslived two doors downfrom Conway for about 25years, said they are all for-tunate to live on such aclose-knit street.

“Everyone helps eachother out and looks out foreach other,” she said.“We’ve always beenfriendly here. It’s nice tohave someone looking outfor you if you need help.”

Every year, she saidneighbors get togetherfor an Independence Daycelebration, Christmasparty and several potluckdinners.

MORE NEIGHBORS WHO CARE

The Archdiocese ofCincinnati’s largest fund-raising campaign in 50years reached its $130million goal this week andis ready to start pumpingmoney into Catholicschools, parishes, socialservices and othercauses.

The windfall, overseenby the new Catholic Com-munity Foundation, is theresult of a yearlong pub-lic relations blitz in all ofthe archdiocese’s 19 coun-ties.

Though the big push inparishes is over, the cam-paign will run for anotherfour years and is expect-

ed to bring in significant-ly more money before itends.

The total pledged sofar is $134 million, andchurch officials say alarge portion of that al-ready has been collected.They say about 85 per-cent of pledges are typi-cally fulfilled, so they willkeep working to collectthe promised amount andto seek new donors.

In a video that willsoon be shared with par-ishes, Archbishop DennisSchnurr praised the re-gion’s Catholics for step-ping up.

“You have ensuredthat the Archdiocese ofCincinnati can continueto meet the changing

needs of its people,”Schnurr said. “Becauseof your generosity, thearchdiocese is in a strongposition to move for-

ward.”The campaign, known

as “One Faith, One Hope,One Love,” represents adramatic shift in the waythe archdiocese raisesmoney. While past fund-raisers were run directlythrough the archdiocese,this campaign was over-seen by the new founda-tion.

The church still willcontrol the money, but thefoundation will overseethe campaign and dis-bursements. The goal isto run fundraising likeany other private charity,with more public ac-countability and a boardof directors comprised oflay people, priests,church leaders and the

archbishop.The change was made

in part to improve effi-ciency, but also to providemore transparency. Somelay Catholic groups havecomplained for yearsabout a perceived lack ofopenness in church fi-nances and decision-mak-ing, especially in thewake of the clergy abusecrisis a decade ago.

The foundation struc-ture is increasingly com-mon among U.S. Catholicdioceses.

Church officials hopethe foundation’s workprovides a more stablesource of support for itspriorities, including itsschool system, which has42,000 students and is the

sixth largest Catholic sys-tem in the nation by en-rollment.

Schools will get abouthalf of the first $130 mil-lion. About $26 millionwill go to parishes to helppay for ministries or im-prove facilities. A retire-ment fund for priests willget $13 million, charitiesand social services willget $10 million, and $16million will help expandvocations and add priests.

Parishes are receivingmoney from the cam-paign, and church offi-cials say more is coming.

“It will be a trickleturning into an open spi-got,” said Paul Clark,spokesman for the cam-paign.

TONY JONES/THE ENQUIRER

Archbishop Dennis Schnurr

With grins as bright asChristmas lights, a trio ofyoungsters weigh theirchoices as they lookthrough a pile of fleecy,hand-made blankets, arainbow of patterns andcolors flashing as theyflip through the bag.

Terry Woodard, 7, pullhis out quickly. No sur-prise, it’s covered withfootballs. He wants toplay for the Steelers oneday, which elicits a mockgroan from Cincinnati Po-lice Officer Louis ArnoldSr., who’s helping deliveragift many take for grant-ed every night: beds.

Kaden Walters pickshis blanket with thought,his fingers tracing theshapes of insects on hisnature-themed blanket.

“I like this one,” hesays as he outlines a spi-der. “They aren’t real, youdon’t have to be scared ofthem. It’s not a snake.”His smile widens as hestrokes the soft fringe.His 9-year-old twin sister,Kaylinn, hugs her tawnyanimal-print blanket toher chest, her smilebroadcasting her plea-sure at its softness andthe tigers, leopards and li-ons that parade across it.

Their smiles are nowider than the one on theface of Vanessa Charles.She has custody of hertwin grandchildren Kay-linn and Kaden, and hernephew, Terry and it’s notalways easy to providewhat they need. A teacherat the youngsters’ school,Cincinnati GenerationAcademy in Roselawn,saw a program online,contacted Feast of LoveMinistries, and nowCharles is watching vol-unteers carry boxsprings, mattresses andbedding into her NorthFairmount apartment.Her babies will sleep ongood mattresses betweennew sheets and warmblankets. Sweet dreams

ahead.Grandma’s grateful.“It’s such a blessing,”

she said. “I am so thrilledfor them and so thankful.”

Across Cincinnati,many youngsters liedown to sleep on couches,chairs and floors. That’snot good enough for BevGraves, executive direc-tor of Feast of Love Minis-tries. She wants thosekids sleeping sound.

Being a woman of ac-tion, she did somethingabout it.

Sleeping Sound is aprogram through the non-profit Feast of Love spe-cifically designed forchildren living in povertyto get a bed. As the minis-try meets needs for areafamilies struggling inpoverty, Graves says hergroup found many chil-dren in the Cincinnatiarea were sleeping on thefloor.

The Sleeping Soundprogram works with prin-cipals of Cincinnati areaschools where studentshave family incomes be-low the poverty level. Theprincipals and schoolstaff identify children inneed and Cincinnati po-lice officers and volun-teers from Feast of Lovewill deliver those beds.They have delivered 13 sofar, with future deliveriesready to go.

Arnold, who is thefaith-based community li-aison officer and his de-livery partner, CincinnatiPolice Officer RichardLongworth, who is the de-partment’s immigrant af-fairs liaison are both fromthe Cincinnati Police De-partment’s CommunityRelations Department.They carried in boxsprings and beds for thetrio, and were more thanwell paid, in smiles,

thanks, and hugs.“It's overwhelming to

see the joy of these kidsover something this sim-ple, something we takefor granted,” Arnold said.“It’s like Christmas andtheir birthday came all atthe same time.”

Graves says the bedswill mean more than acomfortable place to laydown. She knows the joythe beds bring – a gleefulsession of jumping on thebed is not an uncommonreaction among recipi-ents. But she thinks hav-ing a decent place to restwill pay dividends otherplaces, as well.

“We believe these chil-dren will perform andand behave better inschool with a good night’ssleep,” Graves said. “It’sanother way for us to lovepeople and let them knowthey are loved just be-cause of who they are,that they deserve to beloved.”

Another dividend? Anopportunity for young-sters to have very posi-tive experiences with po-lice officers in the city.Kaden, who says he isvery thankful he doesn’t

have to sleep on the flooranymore, was quick tohug the men who broughthis new bed. When hegrows up, he says hewants to be a police offi-

cer because they careabout people.

McAuley High School» McAuley High School’s

mission is to empower youngwomen to succeed and becomeleaders.

Ten years ago, the Sopho-more Pinning Ceremony wasinitiated to celebrate sopho-mores, who often can feel over-looked, as a great deal of atten-tion is usually given to the old-est, the seniors and juniors, aswell as the freshmen, as they arewelcomed and helped transitioninto high school.

The sophomores are encour-aged to take on more leadershiproles in school as they are sym-bolically and literally unified bytheir new pins. On Dec. 14, theentire school participated in thepinning ceremony/prayer ser-vice for the sophomores. Dec. 14was chosen because it is close tothe Sisters of Mercy FoundationDay. On Dec. 12, 1831, in Dublin,Ireland, Catherine McAuley,along with Mary Ann Doyle andElizabeth Hartley, professedtheir religious vows, therebyfounding the Sisters of Mercy.

As a school community, thepins were blessed and blessingsasked for the sophomores. Eachsophomore young woman, asher name was announced, re-ceived her pin from a senior“sister” from her family home-room.

The special pin is crafted inthe shape of the McAuley crest,embossed with the school motto,representing, among otherthings, the light of education, thewheat of the farmer’s collegeonce located in College Hill, theIrish background of CatherineMcAuley, and the Sisters of Mer-cy who opened McAuley in 1960.

Springmyer ElementarySchool

» Students at Springmyer El-ementary School in the OakHills Local School District start-ed a collection of new hats,gloves, scarves and mittens forits “Mitten Tree Project.”

With colder weather movingin and the holidays fast ap-proaching, the fifth-gradeSMASH (Springmyer Moversand SHakers) Club is continuingits tradition of heading up thisproject. These donations willbenefit students in grades K-6 at

South Avondale ElementarySchool. Many students in thisschool have no items to keepthem warm. The collection tookplace between Nov. 30 and Dec.11. More than 300 students willbe helped. The SMASH club isled by teachers Janette Wueste-feld and Mary Ernst.

“We have always had wonder-ful students at Springmyer,”secretary Cyndi Anderson not-ed. “Springmyer’s students andfamilies are very caring andwilling to help others in ourcity.”

When asked about Springmy-er’s Mitten tree, fifth-grade stu-dent Skyelar Fox said, “Here atSpringmyer the Mitten Treemeans that we are helping thepeople who don’t have the mon-ey to buy hats, scarves and mit-tens, and when we do this, itmakes me happy to see thesepeople with their new stuff on.”

Anthony Weinmann stated,“The mitten tree was a good wayto help people in need that haveno warm clothes.”

Fifth-grade student HaydenRhinock expressed, “The mittentree is a thing to give thanks toothers during the holidays.

Think if you were someone inneed, wouldn’t you want gifts,too? That is what the mitten treeis about. It doesn’t matter whoit’s for, just know that you’re do-ing the right thing.”

We always have family and friendsover for New Year’s Day.

This year I’m serving beef tender-loin. I know, I know, it’s expensive forsure, but it’s an elegant and easy entreefor a party. And when I think about it, itdoesn’t cost any more than if I wouldserve two other kinds of meat, as Isometimes do. Plus I can get it ready toroast ahead of time. And there’s nowrong way to serve it: warm from theoven, room temperature or even chilled,sliced on a bed of greens.

Like many of you, I can’t believe 2016 is justdays away. As I’ve said before, I appreciatecoming into your lives each week through thiscolumn. It’s a special and unique way to keepin touch.

There aren’t many columns like this onenow-a-days where reader involvement is notonly welcomed but an important part of shar-ing. So continue to do that as we begin anotheryear of exploring the wonderful world of foodtogether.

And it doesn’t matter what level of cooking

you’ve achieved or care to do. Today’scolumn is a great example: from gour-met beef tenderloin with a homemadeFrench herb blend to refrigerated bis-cuits gussied up with butter and cheese!

Readers want to knowRib and loin pork chops - what’s the

diff?Rib: have a bone running along one

side and a layer of fat on the outside.Tender with a mild flavor.

Loin: cut toward the center of the loin theywill have a T-shaped bone that has loin on oneside and tenderloin on the other. Very leanwith mild flavor.

Cook quickly: Brown on both sides overfairly high heat, then cover, finish cookingover very low heat.

Foolproof beef tenderloin with herbs

Leftovers make great beef sliders. I love to use the dried herbs Ihave from my herb garden.

Bring the meat out at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. It willroast more evenly.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

Ann Andriacco is a localauthority on a fascinatingchurch painter, Gerhard Lam-ers, who once lived in PriceHill. His work graced manylocal churches. She tells us hisstory.

“Born in Kleves, Germanyin 1871, Gerhard Lamers cameto the United States in 1925, tohelp Felix Lieftuchter paintthe interior of St. Joseph Ca-thedral in Wheeling, WestVirginia. Returning in 1928, itwas reported that a govern-ment agent told him, ‘You inEurope have history. We in theUnited States make history.Come and help us.’ And so hedid.

“Buying a home at 925Purcell Ave in Price Hill, heand his wife raised their fam-ily there. He often used familymembers as models in hiswork. His wife posed for theVirgin Mary in the piece abovethe altar arch in St. WilliamParish Church. This was com-pleted in 1941 as a repair to thesmoke stained church walls,the result of a fire in a candlestoreroom in the basement.

“Lamers is responsible forthe interior artwork in HolyFamily, St. William and St. Leochurches on the west side,along with St. Louis Churchdowntown and many others in

the Easternand Midwest-ern UnitedStates. Thou-sands of peo-ple have seenhis work butfew know hisname. Someinterior wallpieces stillremain, un-

fortunately many have beenpainted over to ‘modernize’the interiors.

“Among his early pieces inOhio are the Stations of theCross in Holy Family Church,Columbus, Ohio, in 1933, andthe Josephinum Seminarychapel also in Columbus. Hepainted the St. William Sacri-sty in 1937. Followed by workin All Saints Church in Ken-wood, Holy Family Parish inPrice Hill (1946) and Annuni-cation Church in 1952. HolyFamily stands out as an ex-ample of his overall techniqueof covering the entire walls ofa church as one piece of art.

“Lamers used Germanpaints from the Keim Co.which are still available today.He used a mineral based prod-uct, mixed with distilled water.He produced small watercolor sketches for approval,followed by large scale and

finally full-sized renderings onpaper. The final drawingswere punched around theedges with a serrated wheel tocreate a dotted outline of thework on the wall. Powderedcharcoal was then dusted overthe holes to give a pattern tofollow. His assistants – gener-ally his children – helped paintthe colors in and Lamers com-pleted the work himself.

“His elongated figureswere reminiscent of the mosa-ics in Eastern Europeanchurches of the 10th and 11thcenturies, Byzantine in feel-ing. A founding member ofCincinnati’s Society of Chris-tian Art, he was credited bysome with influencing churchpainting throughout America.

“In 1960, Lamers, nearly 90,completed his final piece, thechapel in the St. William Con-vent building. Still today, it’sbeauty and color is remark-able. In 1980 he was the sub-ject of a retrospective exhibitat a museum in Kleve, Germa-ny. Lamers died in 1964 inCincinnati.”

Diane Clark grew up inPrice Hill and lives there now.Her company, Fairy Dust Ltd.Inc., is on Warsaw Avenue inPrice Hill. She is a longtimemember of the Price Hill His-torical Society and Museum.

As the holiday season ap-proaches, I find myself re-flecting on the work that hasbeen done this year in the OhioHouse of Representatives.

I am grateful to serve in theHouse as the Chairman of theFinancial Institutions, Hous-ing, and Urban DevelopmentCommittee. This year, FIHUD

has consideredmeaningfullegislation thatpositivelyaffects thelives of Ohio-ans, and hasrecommendedthat legislationfor passage bythe House.

Three billsare especiallyworthy of

note. These bills allow home-owners faced with challengingcircumstances the opportunityto overcome those challengesand remain in their homes aslong as possible. Earlier thisyear, House Resolution 107came before the FIHUD Com-mittee. This resolution urgedCongress to renew funding forSave the Dream, a programthat helps homeowners avoidforeclosure. I was pleased tosee this resolution pass withbipartisan support in both theHouse and Senate.

More recently, House Bill303 authored by State rep.Jonathan Dever of Cincinnati,was recommended by the FI-HUD Committee. HB 303 cre-ated the DOLLAR Deed pro-gram (Deed Over, LenderLeaseback, Agreed Refi-nance). It will provide home-owners the option to remain intheir homes as a tenant ratherthan be forced from the prop-erty.

In an effort to reduce aban-doned properties, the legisla-tion creates a cost effectiveand efficient way of forestall-ing final foreclosure. UnderHB 303, a homeowner andlender can enter into an agree-ment for the owner to lease thehome from the lender for aperiod of time, rather thansimply being evicted. It alsoallows the owner to buy thehome from the lender by giv-ing them time to qualify for

refinancing. The DOLLARDeed program will offer credi-tors and homeowners the op-tion of eliminating the cost offoreclosure litigation. HB 303was recommended with bipar-tisan support in the FIHUDCommittee and passed unani-mously on the Ohio Housefloor, and will head to the OhioSenate for further consider-ation.

Additionally, HB 229, whichgives Ohio families more free-dom and flexibility over theirfinancial decisions, was re-cently review by FIHUD andpassed with bipartisan supportin the House. If HB 229, the“Ohio Family Trust CompanyAct,” becomes law, Ohio wouldjoin 15 other states that allowthe creation of family trustcompanies, or FTC, which areentities that may provide asingle family with fiduciaryservices like accounting, fi-nancial management and in-vestment. Such a measurewould make Ohio a more com-petitive option, since familiesthat set up an FTC are notrequired to live in the statewhere it is based, and current-ly look outside the state forthese services. The legislationreceived five hearings inHouse FIDHUD Committee,where it was recommendedwith near unanimous support.It passed on the House floorthis month and now awaitsconsideration in the Ohio Sen-ate.

I applaud my colleagues inthe Ohio House for supportinglegislation that, if ultimatelypassed into law, will positivelyimpact so many lives in ourstate and keep families in theirhomes in difficult economictimes. I am grateful to servethe 30th House District, and aschairman of FIHUD, whichallows me to be a part of thismuch needed reform.

As the year comes to anend, I look forward to continueworking for you to make Ohioa better place to live, work,and raise a family in 2016. Iwish you all a Happy Holidays,Merry Christmas and a pros-perous New Year.

Louis Terhar represents the30th District in the Ohio Houseof Representatives.

Dec. 23 questionLooking to 2016, if you can

grant one wish for your communi-ty, what would it be?

No responses.

Dec. 16 questionChristmas is said to be a season

of magic. Describe a moment ofChristmas or holiday magic inyour life.

“My car broke down onChristmas Eve; that’s my mir-acle.

“It was 1994. At the time, Iwas an outside salesman for a lo-cal industrial supply distributor.We were open until 3 p.m.Christmas Eve. Everyone was inthe office for the Christmas lun-cheon, but no one wanted to bethere, especially me. I was goingto go straight from the office inWinton Place to my home in An-derson, loading up the Tauruswagon with Christmas gifts, thewife, and two daughters, ages 4and 1. We would first be going to

my sister’s house for my fam-ily’s Christmas celebration, andthen leaving for Dayton, tospend the night and Christmasday at my wife’s parents’ homefor celebration No. 2.

“At 2:45 p.m., a walk-in ‘willcall’ customer shows up: there’salways someone who has a holi-day emergency. Not my concernthough, I’m getting out of there.I got a lot traveling to do in thenext eight hours. As I pull out on

to Winton Road my car stops!The engine is running, but Ican’t go forward or back. Uponinspection, the right front wheelis 90 degrees to the right whilethe left wheel is pointedstraight; a problem. Everyonefrom the office, including the‘will call’ customer comes out tohelp. I kick the right wheel intoalignment and we push the carback into the parking lot. We’reall standing there looking at thebroken car. A fellow salesmanwho also lives in Anderson, vol-unteers to drive me home, butmy mind is racing: ‘What am Igoing to do? There’s no time tofix this situation!”

I thank Joe for his offer, buttell him that getting home is theleast of my worries. At that, the‘walk-in’ customer steps up andsays, ‘I’m the service managerat Woody Sander Ford. I can geta tow-truck to get your car, andI’ll set you up with a loaner car.’You cannot imagine my joy anddisbelief.

“Joe gave me a ride to Woody

Sander Ford (1-1/2 miles). Theservice manager got me outfit-ted into a small station wagon,and I was on my way home toload up the car with family andgifts.

“I thanked God for the ser-vice manager being at the exactright place at the exact righttime. Later, as we were travel-ing, the whole picture of the mir-acle came into focus. If my car’stie rod had not broken in front ofthe office, but instead on thehighway at 60 mph...The visionof Christmas presents strewn-vacross the highway, a mangledcar, and untold carnage on myyoung family came into view inmy mind’s eye. Our 1-year-olddaughter at the time, has justgraduated from UC. It mightnever have been.

“Someone was looking outfor me and my family on thatChristmas Eve. Thank you,Lord!

“Kudos to Woody SanderFord and the service manager!”

Many people under-stand those who usetheir personal vehicle todeliver pizzas need tobuy special businessinsurance to protectthem should they getinto an accident while onthe job.’

But, drivers may notrealize that requirementapplies to a lot of othersas well.

Don Hunt, of MountOrab, works for a lum-ber company that sendshim to various job sites

to do in-spections.He useshis ownvehicle toget to thesites. Ear-lier thisyear heran off theroad andwrecked

his truck while going toone of his inspections.

Hunt’s wife Dee says,“He either hit a slickpatch or hydroplaned or

something on I-275 andhe bounced from wall towall and landed right inthe center of I-275.”

Hunt filed a claim forthis one-vehicle acci-dent, but his insurancecompany wouldn’t pay. Itsaid the loss was notcovered because it in-volved, “Impermissiblebusiness, commercial oremployment use.” Aclose look at the policysays his vehicle cannotbe used during thecourse of any business.

Hunt says he has touse his own vehicle be-cause his company won’tprovide one. Dee saysthis came as quite a sur-prise to them becausethere were no companysigns on the side of histruck indicating it wasbeing used as a commer-cial vehicle.

While she had theinsurance adjuster onthe phone she says shedecided to ask about herown situation. Dee saysshe asked, “If I was to

leave my Milfordoffice and go to an officein Eastgate would I becovered from office tooffice? He said, ‘No.’”

Hunt’s insurancecompany issued a state-ment to the Ohio Depart-ment of Insurance say-ing the claim was deniedfor three reasons: be-cause the vehicle wasusually used to visitthree job sites per day,because he transportedtools in his truck, andbecause his employer

provided him a gas cardto use for filling up thetruck.

Bottom line, if youever use your vehicle –even if its just to go fromone office to another –you should talk withyour insurance agent tosee if you too need to addthat special businessrider to your policy.

BeauVita services foradults with disabilitieswill become part of thegrowing Stepping StonesInc. family Jan. 1.

The integration ofBeauVita into SteppingStones will expand dayservices available on theWest Side of Greater Cin-cinnati and increase op-tions throughout the re-gion, Stepping Stones ex-ecutive director Chris Ad-ams of Terrace Park said.

BeauVita Board Presi-dent Mike Morency ofDelhi Township said thetwo-year-old BeauVitaWest adult services pro-gram is at capacity, with37 clients and eight staff,and has a long waiting list.

“We wanted to expand,but we didn’t have the re-sources,” Morency said.”Stepping Stones has theresources and a fantasticreputation. This is defi-nitely a win-win situa-tion.”

Stepping Stones, whichserves more than 150adults with disabilities inits Adult Services pro-grams in Norwood and Ba-tavia, plans to call the newsite Stepping Stones’BeauVita West campus.

Both agencies providesimilar day programmingfor adults with develop-mental disabilities, in-cluding community ex-cursions, recreational ac-tivities and life skills.Stepping Stones’ partici-pants tend to have greaterphysical challenges thanthe BeauVita participants.The new configurationwill expand the scope ofservices to people with awider range of disabili-ties, said Adams.

He said three BeauVita

board members will jointhe Stepping Stones boardand he expects the BeauV-ita staff to remain in place.

Stepping Stones is a$4.7 million United Waypartner agency servingmore than 1,000 children,teens and adults with dis-abilities at three campus-es. The BeauVita Westcampus at 5195 NorthBend Road in MonfortHeights will be SteppingStones’ fourth campusand its first foray into thewest side.

In 2014, United Cere-bral Palsy of Greater Cin-cinnati merged into Step-ping Stones, creatingStepping Stones’ thirdprogram site in Norwood.Other Stepping Stonescampuses are in IndianHill and Batavia.

Adams said he has hada long-held goal of open-ing a Stepping Stones siteon the West Side of Cincin-nati. Stepping Stones runstwo camp buses from theWest Side to SteppingStones’ summer daycamps for children withdisabilities.

“These campers willgrow up and need servicesas adults,” Adams said.Several participants inStepping Stones’ AdultServices program in Nor-wood are from the WestSide of town.

“People are traveling along way because theywant to be part of Step-ping Stones’ programs,”Adams said. “The futuremodel for delivering pro-gramming will be neigh-borhood based. Funderswant individuals to re-main in their communitiesfor services and employ-ment opportunities.”

BeauVita has a strongindependence and com-munity focus and also pro-vides evening and week-end activities for adults.Stepping Stones, also, hasa vibrant community ex-ploration program and islaunching its own week-end adult activity pro-gram in 2016.

“Stepping Stones’ corevalues are very much inline with our core values,”said Carolyn Ross of Dent,who oversees BeauVita’sactivity programming.She will be joining theStepping Stones board,along with current BeauV-ita board members JulieDunford of Western Hillsand Mike Ricke of Bridge-town.

The BeauVita foundingfamilies started the nonprofit in 2007 with adream of opening a resi-dential community for

adults with disabilities.Each family has an adultmember who has a disabil-ity. “Changes in govern-ment regulations put theresidential goal, as we en-visioned it, out of reach,”Ross said.

The group opened itsBeauVita West activitycenter in 2013, focusing onindependence skills andsocial and community in-teraction. There is noBeauVita East.

“We named it BeauVita

West because we wantedpeople to know we were onthe West Side of town, be-cause there is just notmuch on the West Side foradults with disabilities,”said Ross.”

BeauVita’s manage-ment is all volunteer, witheight paid staff membersproviding services.

“We didn’t have thefunding to expand like wewanted to,” said Morency.

“With Stepping Stones,we can serve more people

and provide more oppor-tunities,” he said. “Wehave a strong family ofsupporters who havehelped build BeauVita towhat it is today. My hope isthat they will continue tosupport us as we expandour services with Step-ping Stones. I’m confidentStepping Stones will con-tinue to offer the excellentservices BeauVita isknown for.”

Stepping Stones wasfounded by parents whowanted to provide activityprograms for childrenwith disabilities. It openedin 1963 in Indian Hill asGreater Cincinnati’s firstsummer day camp open tochildren with any disabil-ity. Today, the signatureday camp serves morethan 450 children eachsummer. Besides daycamp and Adult Services,Stepping Stones providesan alternative educationprogram serving studentswith severe autism from14 school districts, a Sen-sory Needs Respite & Sup-port Program for childrenand teens with severe au-tism, summer overnight“Staycations” for teensand adults, weekend over-night respites for teensand adults and SaturdayClubs for children andyoung adults with disabil-ities.

Stepping Stones’ mis-sion is to increase inde-pendence, improve livesand promote inclusion forchildren and adults withdisabilities.

Hamilton County Pub-lic Health Division of Wa-ter Quality received the2015 Ohio StormwaterAssociation Award forProgram Excellence.

The award recognizessustained excellence asevidenced in ongoing andfrequent development

and implementation ofinnovative programs toreduce and eliminate il-licit discharge into wa-terways.

The HCPH WaterQuality Team was citedfor implementing an ag-gressive training pro-gram to increase aware-

ness of illicit discharges. Following training,

the team ramped up itsmonitoring program andcollaborated with part-ner agencies to map thecounty stormwater sew-er system and infrastruc-ture. The monitoring pro-gram uses specialized

techniques and equip-ment to track discharges.

“Improved monitor-ing and testing ultimate-ly leads to cleaner water-ways,” said Tim Ingram,Hamilton County Healthcommissioner. “As wesee around the nation,water is crucial to our ex-

istence. Discharge of im-properly treated waste-water and illegal sub-stances into our stormsewer systems createpublic health issues andcan cause long-termdamage to our water sup-ply.”

The Ohio Stormwater

Association is a group ofpublic and private citi-zens dedicated to advanc-ing the management ofstormwater and relatednatural resourcesthrough education, lead-ership, watershed-basedcoordination and techni-cal assistance in Ohio.
