PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome all to another great year for GCDA.
Our first membership meeting is less than a month away. Lisa Andrews, our COPI Chair,
has some really interesting meetings planned for us starting with one of the modules from
the AND’s Online Certificate of Leadership Training.
We will continue to provide a light meal dur-ing our networking time prior to the meeting
– this is a really great opportunity to get to know other dietetics professionals.
I would like to take a moment to thank our last year’s Board for a most excellent year.
Sara Tumsukhin continues as a Board mem-ber as Past President and has been very
supportive in helping to keep things moving in the right direction.
The Board continues to work on making our
organization accomplish its mission which is
to be “ the advocate of the dietetic
profession serving the public through the
promotion of optimal nutrition and well-being
by advocating for its members ” .
As a part of this we are including a DTR in
our board meetings this year –Jamie Unkle, DTR has already brought some new view
points and good ideas to the Board.
We will also be working on making some of the administrative systems work better – one
of these is to investigate online application
and payment for GCDA. More to come as this very dynamic group of professionals
continues to move us forward!
Looking forward to seeing you all at our
membership meetings.

NEW TAX CUT FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES
Beginning immediately, with the current tax season, a business
owner can exclude 50 percent of Ohio net business income from the adjusted gross
income they report on their Ohio personal income
tax return. If the business has multiple owners, each is eligible to claim the deduction.
This exclusion is available on up to $250,000,
meaning the deduction is capped at $125,000 for
each investor or owner. Owners of (and investors in) Ohio businesses structured as pass-through
entities (PTEs) qualify for this new tax cut. PTEs are not taxed as a business by the
federal or state government. Instead those owners/investors
receiving income from the business
pay federal and state personal income taxes on that income.
PTEs include: sole proprietorships,
partnerships, Subchapter S
corporations ( S-corps ) and Limited
Liability Companies ( LLCs ) .

Mariam Jackobs,
50 Year Ohio AND
Member, recent
past GCDA
Executive
Committee Chair
Mariam has been doing marathons for 16 years! Her current goal that she is closing in on, is to finish doing a marathon in all 50 states! Some of her group: The Mason
Mighty Walkers will be traveling to Albuquerque to do that marathon with her.
“ O ur motto is: “ We walk all seasons, for all reasons, because we can! ” Sometimes I can
hardly believe how my life has evolved through the years. I thank God each day for the
ability to “ be ” and to “ do ” .
Miriam retired from long term care consulting and private practice just
five years ago as it “interrupted” her
ability to travel freely and to do many other things.
She continues to teach Nutrition and Personal Wellness at Wilmington College-Blue Ash branch, as needed and
really enjoys this. She also does an “Ask the Dietitian” event twice a week at the Mason Community Center.
Congrats to Local “ 50 Year Member ”
G C D A N E W S L E T T E R
The Ohio Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recently recognized their new “50 year members”.
Mariam Jackobs from Mason Ohio, was one to hit her 50 year mark! I asked Mariam to provide us with some wisdom and tips!
TIPS FOR OTHER DIETITIANS
“Before retiring I really took nutrition and physical fitness to a new level in my own personal
life. You can eat right but we all need to exercise right or at least make an active lifestyle a
habit that is done daily!!!”
“ I preach to the choir! ”
“Consider walking races rather than running – there is less chance of damage to your feet,
ankles, knees and hips that way. It is an easy sport to get into, your only real piece of
“equipment” is a pair of shoes – preferably a pair of running shoes with a low heel that makes for easy walking. (Do not buy ‘walking shoes’ as they are often stiffer than running
shoes and heavier.) Also join a walking group; most running shoe stores have running and
walking groups and of course I have the Mason Mighty Walkers. Pick a group that you do not have to travel far to join and soon you will be enjoying the beauty of walking!!”
“I will walk a
marathon in
Oregon over Labor
Day – that is state
no. 49 and then
on October 20 in
Albuquerque, New
Mexico, I will finish
my 50th state!“
Antarctica was my last continent to do a marathon on. I had done Zimbabwe, Africa the year
before. This a picture of my husband and I on top of “Jock” our elephant for a day at a rescue
park for abandoned animals!
