BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Local schools look for ways to make up snow days By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Intersection set for $3.9M makeover Blue Rock/Cheviot to undergo 2016 fix

By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Motorists on Cheviot Road will get some rush hour relief once an improvement to the intersection at Blue Rock Road near the White Oak Christian Church gets underway. That’s what Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard says. The county engineer’s office is planning a $3.9 million intersection makeover which moves the intersection about 400 feet north. The newly configured intersection will have more room for traffic to wait for a left turn signal from Cheviot Road and will permit left turns from Blue Rock Road north onto Cheviot, which are currently not allowed. Hubbard says the intersection project would make dual left turns for northbound Cheviot Road motorists onto westbound Blue Rock Road while maintaining a through-lane for traffic continuing north. The through-lane will no longer be continuous. The project also includes sidewalks from Hubble Road to Blue Rock Road. Much of the project is a result of the 2003 North Bend/Cheviot Road Corridor Study. It’s a busy area. Hubbard said traffic counts show 16,700 vehicles a day travel Blue Rock Road and 8,500 on Cheviot Road. He only expects that to increase over time and the plan for the new intersection is engineered to accommodate the traffic expected 10 years from now. Hubbard presented the project to Colerain Township officials at a meeting last month.

The 2003 North Bend Road Corridor Study resulted in several road improvement projects in the White Oak/Monfort Heights area. » Cheviot Road/Hubble Road intersection improvement in 2007 » North Bend Road improvement from Boomer Road to Interstate 74 in 2009 » North Bend Road improvement from Kleeman Road to Boomer Road in 2012 » North Bend Road improvement from I-74 to West Fork Road in 2013

The board indicated they would support the project, but Colerain Township assistant Administrator Frank Birkenhauer said board members wanted to wait until they heard from residents at a March 20 meeting before sending a letter of support to the Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners. The commissioners then establish the project, which allows the engineer’s office to pursue securing right-of-way properties needed for the improvement. About 30 property owners in and near the project area aired concerns at that meeting. Some had questions about eliminating the continuous through-lane for northbound motorists or were unhappy about the sidewalks being placed on the west side of the road. Some were concerned about the effect construction will have on businesses or tenants in apartment buildings near the planned project. Oth-

ers, like William and Barb Gilman, said they just wanted a look at the plan. Gerhard Schmidt said the project could bring more traffic through the area and he questioned the need for the change. Hubbard said it’s land use, not road improvements, that drives traffic numbers. Randy Klensch said traffic along the Cheviot-North Bend corridor is bad at rush hour. He said he used to work in Northern Kentucky; he said it would take him 20 minutes to get to the Interstate 74 interchange and another 20 minutes to get to Blue Rock and Banning roads. “They have to do something to get the traffic moving through there,” he said. The engineer’s office plans to do something and Hubbard wants to get the project underway. He says his office has secured funding for the project, which is estimated to cost almost $4 million, excluding the acquisition of right of way. Of that, $786,000 is from Ohio Public Works Commission funding, and $3.14 million is from the Urban Surface Transportation Program through OKI. Once commissioners establish right of way, the county will begin negotiating for right-of-way properties. Construction on the project isn’t likely to begin until early 2015, and the project should be complete by late 2015, or early 2016, depending on the right-ofway acquisition and weather. “We think we can make this better,” Hubbard said. “And we think this plan will help.”

Local schools are looking for ways to make up for lost time. A hard winter caused most schools in the area to exceed the five alloted calamity days given to schools each year. On March 26, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed into law Amended Substitute House Bill 416, which requires the Ohio Department of Education to waive up to four additional days a school is closed due to a public calamity, such as hazardous weather conditions, for the 2013-2014 school year. This applies to a school district, STEM school, or chartered nonpublic school, as long as the district or school has invoked its contingency plan to make up five unwaived calamity days. That will help districts with more than 10 days off, but doesn’t help most schools in Southwest Ohio. They have to make up five unwaived calamity days before the additional days given by legislators can be used. Local schools are getting their plans in place.

Finneytown Local Schools

Finneytown students are in the enviable position of having no days to make up. Scott Gates, director of student services, said two snow events happened on scheduled in-service days. “Our board approved blizzard bags at the March meeting just in case, but at this point, we have no days to make up,” he said. Gates said while he is pleased no instructional days were lost, he is disappointed that the staff lost two opportu-

nities for professional development. “It’s a glass half-full kind of situation,” he said. “We hated to lose that time with our teachers.”

McAuley High School

McAuley High School made buying a computer notebook a requirement for its students six years ago, and the notebook program has been central to the school’s plan to make up calamity days this year. Students and their families pay for the notebooks as part of the school tuition and fees. McAuley President Cheryl Sucher says students are having three online days to make up the classroom time lost because of snow. They completed two over the Presidents Day weekend and will have their final online day April 25, during their spring break. “This is a continuation of whatever’s going on in the classroom,” Sucher said. “Students are required to be at their computers at 8:10 a.m. and faculty are online. They can communicate back and forth and this has proved very effective.” Sucher said students who were not at their computers at the appointed class time received calls from faculty asking where they were. Sucher said the school wanted to make sure students were well prepared for upcoming Advanced Placement tests and did not want add days at the end of the year, when they would not be as effective. She said McAuley piloted online days for the Ohio Department of Education five years ago, shortly after the notebooks were introduced. See SNOW, Page A2

Is It the Fountain of Youth for Aging Minds?

Pharmacist of the Year Makes Memory Discovery of a Lifetime ‘America’s Pharmacist,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, finds what he and his patients have been looking for – a real memory pill!

“I had such marvelous results with this memory pill that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!”

Pharmacy Best-Seller

For years, pharmacists told disappointed patients that memory loss was inevitable. A new, drug-free cognitive formula may help improve mind, mood, and memory in as little as 30 days.

PHOENIX,ARIZONA — If Pharmacist of theYear, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone leaned over the counter and whispered, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,” he would be a rich man today. It’s a question he’s heard countless times in his 45-year career. He has seen families torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mental decline, a silent condition that threatens the independent lifestyle that seniors hold so dearly. In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slow mental decline, he ﬁnally found the answer, a natural, drug-free compound that helps aging brains ‘think and react,’ younger.

Tired Brains Snap Awake!

Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, PharmD, was so impressed with his newfound memory powers that he recommended the patented, prescription-free memory formula to his pharmacy patients with great success.

“It helps tired, forgetful brains to ‘snap awake,” says Dr. Steiner. Before Dr. Steiner recommended it to customers, he tried it ﬁrst. “Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear!” “Speaking for pharmacists everywhere, we ﬁnally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective.And you don’t need a prescription either!”

Feeding an Older Brain

The formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins. It also helps restore depleted neurotransmitter levels, while feeding the aging mind with brain-speciﬁc nutrients and protective antioxidants. * These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Results can depend on a variety of factors including overall health, diet, and other lifestyle factors

“It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.” Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory compound with bolstering his confidence. “It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more confident every day.” Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much more focused and with the new energy I’m now ready to tackle the things I’ve been putting off for years!” Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a night-and-day difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory was declining at an “alarming rate.” “I was about to consult a neurologist when I read a newspaper article about it.” “It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later, even my husband was impressed with my improved memory.And I am very happy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!” “I highly recommend it,” says Dr. Steiner. “This drug-free compound is the perfect supplement for increasing one’s brain power. If it worked for me, it can work for you!”

ready off school. Officials decided to have online makeup days just to make sure the school met its required number of days.

Mt. Notre Dame

Mount Notre Dame High School in Reading is using a “Digital Make-Up Day Plan.” By applying and receiving approval over the summer, MND is allowed to use digital methods for school work for not more than three unexcused calamity days in excess of the five allowable and excused calamity days.

Mount Healthy City School District

The Mount Healthy district is two days over the state allotment and sent home letters to parents about using blizzard bags to help make up some of the days. The district will make up its calamity days using the blizzard bag assignments, instead of adding additional days to the end of the school year. There are three sets of assignments in the blizzard bag plan. Students completed the first set earlier this month and are working on the second set, due the first week in April. The final set of assignments will be due after spring break, which begins April 14. Superintendent Lori Handler said the assignments will help students gain educational lessons that they have missed before they have to take state tests this spring. “These lesson will provide more educational benefit for students than if we add two days at the

end of the school year,” she said. Teachers prepared the assignments for the students to complete after school hours in order to meet the makeup day requirements and students had 10 days to complete the assignments, which will be graded and become part of the student’s quarterly grades. Students who fail to complete the assignments will receive a failing grade on all the assignments and be marked, for attendance purposes, as an unexcused absence for the missed time. Blizzard bag lessons may not be worked on during the regular school day as this is intended to make up learning missed that is equal to the time lost during snow days. A minimum of 80 percent of the students in each building must complete the assignments in order for the State of Ohio to count it as a true makeup day. Handler said students and parents are taking the assignments seriously, and so far, the plan is working for her district.

Northwest Local School District

The Northwest Local School District has three days to make up because of the winter’s inclement weather. Pending approval by the Northwest Local School District Board of Education at the April 14 board meeting, the district has a plan to make up the days. Kindergarten students, who attend for halfday sessions, will make up the three additional

missed days with wholeday activities and the district will communicate with parents about the kindergarten make up days. The district will extend its school year for students in grades one to 12, which will require students and staff to be in school June 12 and June 13. Those days were identified as possible make-up days when the calendar was approved. To make up the third day, students will take home blizzard bag assignments on April 17, which must be completed and turned in by May 7. These assignments will be graded and become part of the student’s quarterly grades.

St. Xavier High School

Becky Schulte, director of communications and marketing for St. Xavier said students have no time to make up, thanks to a combination of good timing and online class opportunities. “Two days were already scheduled off days,” she said. “And we were able to do online class, so students have no days to make up at this time.” St. Xavier launched a program that requires students to have iPads beginning with this year’s freshman class.

Winton Woods City Schools

The board of education has approved June 2, 3, and 4 as make-up days and required teachers to create blizzard bags for students by March 14.

Local issues to be decided on May 6 primary ballot LOCAL BALLOT ISSUES ISSUE 9 – COLERAIN TOWNSHIP POLICE LEVY

What it’s about: This is a 1.95-mill, continuing tax levy for the operation of the Colerain Township Police Department. What it would do: Carry the department to at least 2019. It will add three additional officers in 2015 and three additional officers in 2016. The pay freeze agreed to by the police union remains through 2016 as agreed, and cost-ofliving increases could resume in 2017. The resolution’s wording would also allow the township to cross train police officers for emergency medical service if the township decides to add police to its emergency medical services How things are now: The $6.1 million budget for the department is largely derived from tax dollars: a 2.5-mill levy passed in 1991, an additional 1-mill levy passed in 2002 and a 1.15-mill levy approved in 2007 are the financial support for the department. David Nurre, assistant director of finance for the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, said the owner of a $100,000 house pays about $111.39 in taxes for police protection now. How much it would cost: Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes says the levy, if passed, would generate $2 million annually and would cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $68 annually. Arguments for: Proponents say the levy will allow the department to increase officers and investigators on the street, replace vehicles and outdated equipment and provide for capital expenses and training. Arguments against it: Colerain Township resident Ralph Collins says he is concerned about rising taxes on a fixed income. “I don’t have a complaint against the police, I just am concerned about how we will pay the additional expense,” Collins said. “We are on a fixed income. It seems they don’t have any problem spending money. It seems like they are just creating expenses. For me, it’s a financial issue.” Who’s for it: Colerain Township Trustees voted unanimously to put the levy on the ballot. Who’s against it: There is no organized opposition to the police levy at this time. An anonymously administered Facebook page critical of Colerain Township trustees and police services, Colerain Township Residents, says it was “created by a group of Colerain Township residents to give fellow residents factual, non fluff information about the May 2014 Police Levy.” Websites for more information: www.colerain.org

Early voting for the May 6 primary begins in Hamilton County Tuesday, April 1, and early votes may be cast in person or by mail. The voter registration deadline for this primary is Monday, April 7, and the board office at 824 Broadway will remain open until 9 p.m. to accept registration forms. For information, call 513-632-7000.

ISSUE 13 – SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ZONE

What it’s about: Do voters want to make all of Springfield Township properties where individuals work excluding home-based businesses, part of a joint economic development zone, and levy a 1.5 percent tax on payroll and net business profit to benefit the township’s general fund? What it would do: A mutual agreement between a township and a city or village is established in which businesses and employees within the designated zone are charged an earnings tax. As required by law, the city or village collects the tax, and revenues collected will be allocated to the township and the partnering municipality based on a percentage agreed to by both. How things are now: There is no income tax levied in the township and the only source of revenue for the township’s general fund is the inside millage property tax. Officials say they do not want to place an additional tax burden on property owners. Township officials say they will have spent their carryover funds by 2016 and would face at $2.1 million deficit by 2017 without additional revenue or drastic cuts to service. If the JEDZ is not approved, township officials say they will propose an increase in property taxes or drastically reduce services leading to reductions in road repairs, an inability to follow up on property maintenance complaints and the closure of several townshipowned parks and athletic fields and the senior and community arts center. They say eventually, the revenue losses will also cause the police and fire/EMS departments to be impacted. How much it would cost: Each person who works in Springfield Township and each business would be subject to a 1.5 percent tax on their earnings. There is a mechanism for grants for township residents that would in effect rebate the tax for people who live and work in Springfield Township. It is estimated the JEDZ will raise about $1.125 million annually: $956,000 annually for the township and Mount Healthy would receive about $168,000 annually from the partnership. Arguments against it: Opponents say it’s taxation without representation, and the area of the JEDZ is too broad. The JEDZ was not intended to be a blanket area for the whole community, and the money generated be limited to driving economic development. The group says a JEDZ will hurt small businesses in the township, and employees who work in the township, who will see this tax every week on their paychecks, resulting in less take-home pay which means less disposable income for them to spend in the township. Stop the JEDZ says the plan will have a negative economic impact on all of Springfield Township, causing quality businesses to reconsider locating there and could cause businesses to leave the community. Who’s for it: Springfield Township Trustees voted unanimously to put the issue on the ballot; Mount Healthy officials who will get about 10 percent of the generated revenue as the required municipal partner who will collect the tax for the township; A proJEDZ group, Citizens for the Future of Springfield Township and the Finneytown Civic Association are also supporting the plan. Who’s against it: The Springfield Township Coalition for Responsible Government opposes the JEDZ. The Finneytown Websites for more information: The township website, www.springfieldtwp.org has information about the proposed JEDZ; the opposition group has a website, stopthejedz.com.

UA students win awards for art S ix students from St. Ursula Academy’s Art and Design Program earned awards for their recent entries in the Scholastic Arts Competition, and two students’ works advanced to be judged nationally. Claire Benken and Regan Stacey’s art will be judged in the National Scholastic Arts Awards Competition later this spring. The students’ works were chosen from many entries across Northern Kentucky, Greater Cincinnati, and Southeastern Indiana based on their creativity, originality, and craftsmanship. According to the Scholastic Art Website, “Founded in 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is the nation’s longestrunning, most prestigious educational initiative supporting student achievement in the visual and literary arts. The program has an impressive legacy of being the first to acknowledge creative talent and is today’s largest source of scholarships for creative teens.” Most of the SUA students’ work was based on the theme

“Where are You Wearing?” a theme for the school year sponsored by the Community Service Learning Office and based on the same titled book by Kelsey Timmerman. The theme encourages consumers to raise awareness of the global garment industry and poor working conditions overseas. Awards were as follows:

Gold Key

» Claire Benken for “Where am I Wearing” » Regan Stacey for “Where Am I Wearing”

Silver Key:

Ellen Garner, a 2009 Roger Bacon High School graduate who is a senior at University of Cincinnati studying psychology and communications, recently visited Mellen Moors-Dressing’s Creative Writing and junior college prep classes. Because of her internship with The Owens Group and TriStar Pictures, Garner came to the classes not only to promote the new movie “Pompeii,” but also to discuss the art of writing a film about an actual event for which there were no survivors. She discussed plot development, complications and stumbling blocks for writers, leaving students with many things to consider as they begin their own short stories. As a bonus, she left each student with movie passes to the screening and a “Pompeii” movie T-shirt.

Colerain softball looks for big things despite losses five errors in left field. Senior pitcher Abby Hines is back for her third year starting on the mound. Hines had a disappointing 2013, going just 4-19 with a 5.88 ERA in 146.1 innings. Other returning starters include junior shortstop Toni Mayne, senior centerfielder Alex Hanna, senior first baseman Kayla Hunter, sophomore second baseman Ashley Carroll, junior infielder Allie Stamper and junior outfielder Shelby Schnur. The Knights open play April 1 at home against Springboro.

Despite many coaches being frustrated with the weather, fields are being groomed and defenses better be prepared for the swinging bunt because softball season is finally here. Take a closer look at how the teams in the Northwest Press are looking in 2014:

Colerain

Coach Sarah Billstrom returns six players from last season’s 20-10 squad that made a run to the Division I regional semifinals. The key loss could be that of pitcher Ashlynn Roberts, who is now at Fairfield High School. Roberts will be replaced by senior Shelby Mitchell, who appeared in nine games last season, going 2-1 with three saves while striking out16 and posting an ERA of 2.44. Junior second baseman/outfielder Hayley Curtis will try to lead an offense that lost its top three hitters. Curtis ended 2013 with a .367 batting average and 19 RBI, while leading the team with 27 stolen bases. Senior Sydney Beckelhymer returns and will look to up her offense game after hitting .233 last season in 43 at-bats. Other returning starters include seniors Brianna Colon, Kiara Jones and junior Savannah Ranz. Look for newcomers Carleigh Hen, Alexus Hausfeld and Logan Davis to make an impact as well. The Lady Cardinals open the season March 29 at McAuley.

Karen Wiesman enters her 12th year as coach at McAuley coming off an18-9 season where the Mohawks finished as runners-up in the Girls’ Greater Catholic League. Now the Mohawks enter 2014 No. 7 in The Enquirer Division I area coaches’ preseason poll, looking for their fifth consecutive winning season. Sophomore pitcher Aubrey Brunst returns after a freshmen campaign where she earned second-team All-GGCL honors after going 14-6 with a 2.42 ERA and 140 strikeouts. Her 14 wins and 140 K’s each ranked second in the GGCL. The Mohawks lost a lot at the plate, graduating their top their top three hitters, but Wiesman

hopes to see increased production from junior Morgan Wells who hit at a .405 clip last season and drove in 25 runs. Junior Mackenzie Anderson and sophomore Ava Lawson will be relied upon more this season, as well as freshman Brittney Bonno. Other returning starters include seniors Julie Newsom and Mackenzie Koenig. “We will be young this year, but I think that sometimes that’s good with the right group of girls,” Wiesman said. “We do have our returning pitcher from last year who will help guide our two freshmen catchers (Meghan Gabriel and Kathryn Rost). We lost a talented group of seniors, but fortunately we have a talented group of freshmen coming in to take their spots.” McAuley opens play with Colerain at home March 29.

Senior shortstop/pitcher Allison Meltebrink headlines an Owls roster that is looking for its first win since May 3, 2012, according to conference websites. Meltebrink, who is a fouryear varsity player, is set to break the school record for most games played midway through the season, according to coach Scott Peterson. Junior Cayley Hagaman is opening some eyes during the preseason. Peterson said she’s

Second-year coach Charles Lindner knew he would take his lumps in 2013 starting five freshmen. After going 9-16 and with a year under those belts, Lindner is hoping for bigger and better things come 2014. Leading that charge will be sophomore pitcher Ashton Lindner, who earned first-team All-Girls’ Greater Catholic League Central Division honors last season after going 9-13, fanning 136 with a 3.67 ERA. At the plate she led the Spartans in batting average (.440), stolen bases (27), RBI (31), home runs (2), triples (4) and hits (37). Not too far behind Lindner was sophomore Brittany Jerger, who was second on the team with a .436 average, 25 stolen bases and 34 hits, while leading the Spartans with a .569 on-base percentage, nine doubles and 40 runs scored. Lindner will also see time at third base, while Jerger will catch and play outfield on occasion. Junior Cassie Wiedner is the primary third basemen and hit .418 last season while driving in 14 runs and swiping 13 bases. Fellow junior Lyndie Mesina will try to lock down the other side of the infield at first base, while junior Lexi Hoffman will hold down second base and pitch behind Lindner. Hoffman drove in 12 runs and had 16 hits in 65 at-bats last season. “With a year under our belt (after) starting five freshmen last year, this season looks to be going in the right direction,” coach Lindner said. “With hard work and effort, we look to improve over last year’s record.” Roger Bacon opens the season April 2 at Alter.

hit at least three home runs so far and, considering what she did last season, it’s really surprised him. “She’s really coming around this year,” the coach said. “For someone last season who didn’t hit a home run and hit around .120, she’s really coming around.” The Owls are young with six freshmen or sophomores on the roster, but one to watch is freshman Arine Ibbino. Ibbino has never played the game before this season, but Peterson said you wouldn’t know it watching her in the cage. “She just picked it up like she’s done it her whole life,” he said. “She got in the cage and was hitting right away. Nobody does that. It’s pretty fun to watch.” As in most cases, pitching will be key and that pressure will likely fall on the shoulders of junior left-hander Lindsey Johnson. After appearing in just two games last season, Johnson’s putting in a lot of work with assistant coach and pitching coach Heather Bashford. “She has a little more confidence this year,” Peterson said of his lefty. The Owls open play April 1 at Deer Park.

Faust, who will see time at both third base and catcher, led the team with a .433 batting average, 30 RBI, four home runs and 29 hits. Gehlenborg hit .296 last season and committed just

Colerain

Coach Steven Tapogna boasts an experienced squad in 2014. The Cardinals return seven starters from last season’s team, all of whom are battle-tested through the Greater Miami Conference and have sectional tournament experience. Junior Doug Friedhoff takes over the top singles position and is followed by freshman Matthew Laskey and No. 2 singles and then junior Henry Wessels. As far as doubles go, the senior duo of Ryan Koenig and Zac Gehner are the top team followed by the team of senior Brodie Hensler and sophomore Steven Koenig.

Mike Holman enters is 14th season as coach of the Lancers. La Salle is set to open the season March 31 at home against Talawanda. No other information was available before press deadline.

As a Monfort Heights resident who frequently drives the steep hill on Race Road between West Fork and Boomer, I am amazed that this road, full of potholes and ruts, remains untouched by the county, whose job it is to keep this county road safe and passable.

I cannot believe our president, and especially European leaders, are so feckless.

Green Township is a bedroom community of Cincinnati and has largely grown by

sprawl, and difficult to reverse. With sprawl comes the total dependence on the automobile for every need. Business centers are disassociated with residential locations. The solution to this is to enhance the development of communities that are closely tied to the business centers.

Development

I believe it is the duty of our trustees to guide development on the basis of an overall master plan. I mean something that is more detailed and comprehensive than the Harrison Avenue Corridor Plan. Developers build to make money and they don’t care about a bigger picture. If developers buy into our plans, the infrastructure easily falls into place. Let’s build something we can be proud of.

A family environment

Green Township is a great place to raise a family. We have a semirural environment with great schools and churches. The people here are honest, hard working and unpretentious. We need to find a way to keep them here. What is missing here is an environment that promotes exercise and connectivity. The suggestion of a jogging/ walking trail on the old

railroad bed is a great start. We should also find ways of promoting bicycle and moped use in our business centers.

The parks of Green Township

I visit a municipal or county park almost daily. I don’t visit a township park because the parks are small and overdeveloped. I would venture to guess that we probably have enough baseball parks. The township owns two land parcels yet to be developed into parks; these have great promise. The Hutchinson Preserve could be turned into a park with minimal monies and become a revenue producer. The remaining Weidner property would connect the railroad right of way to the Hutchinson Preserve. This composite park could be used to provide picnic areas for families and numerous walk/hike trails. I would love to see our cross country runners running in the park rather than along the street side sucking in carbon monoxide fumes. I think you get an idea about what I believe in. I will do everything possible to improve our quality of life. I would offer you a diversity you currently don’t have. Dale R. Mihuta is a resident of Dent.

Lack of effective deterrent dooms our environment

Earth Alert has learned that on the evening of March 17, a major oil spill was discovered and reported to authorities near the Oak Glen Nature Preserve. We also learned that the estimated spill of 10,000 gallons is close to the Great Miami River. Perhapsthe most meaningful information disclosed was that the pipe owned by Sunoco Logistics and operated by Mid-Valley Pipeline Co, had 40 reported incidents, including three in the region since 2005. Regulators have issued a number of penalties and warnings for non-compliance with applicable rules. But it seems state and federal EPAs have failed to create an effective deterrent to eliminate problems with this pipeline. The spill could hardly have come at a

worse time for supporters of the proAlan Sanders posed COMMUNITY PRESS KeyGUEST COLUMNIST stone Pipeline. That pipeline would cross the Ogallala aquifer, one of the world’s most important aquifers. Environmentalists and farmers are worried about the possibility that a spill there could cause harm to the aquifer. But pipeline supporters argue that a spill would be next to impossible. So this pipeline, which carries the same product – crude oil – does not provide a good example of its safety record or government regulation. Meanwhile, back at the Great Miami, our spill reportedly ran down a stream into a

pond. So it sounds like area waters have already been contaminated with crude oil. Quick action is required to prevent migration of crude oil into subsurface waters and local aquifers. Crude is also destructive of fauna and can move quickly if carried by streams. I once worked on a spill along the Santa Clara River in Southern California. I got to meet Jay Holcomb of the International Bird Rescue. We ran up and down the river trying to catch ducks covered in oil. We did catch quite a few, but they mostly had already ingested oil and perished. Oil and wildlife just don’t mix. We should have learned this lesson by now.

McAuley science stars serve 20 schools

cAuley High School students share their love of science with younger children through the McAuley Traveling Science Show, an ongoing outreach service to area elementary schools. This year, the McAuley show is being presented to 20 elementary schools. Kathy Safaviyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifthgrade class at St. Catharine of Siena School recently was treated to the show. The McAuley students on the St. Catharine team were sophomores Abby Sander and Caroline Schott, junior Christy Blum and senior Katie Burkhart. The program format of all the shows begins with four hands-on experiences: Students make UV bracelets, learning about ultraviolet light; they make density columns, learning about density of various liquids; they do an acids-bases experiment; and they predict which kind of cola has the most carbon dioxide in it by shaking different colas in baby bottles.

Philip Bachman, Makaela Dettmer and Caroline Schott are pictured at the acids-bases experiment.

Natalie Borgert and Rameses Thorton record carbon dioxide experiment results.

After the 30-minute handson session, the four McAuley students, under the direction of retired McAuley chemistry

teacher Shirley Frey present a show entitled Solids, Liquids and Gases.

Katie Burkhart, Christy Blum, Abby Sander, Caroline Schott and Shirley Frey begin the Solids, Liquids and Gases show.

Lentil and rice dish perfect for Lent

Mujadarah/Lentils with rice and cumin

Go to taste on seasonings. Some people like to stir in some of the cooked onions into the lentils and rice. 3 very large yellow onions 1 ⁄3 cup olive oil 1 cup whole brown lentils 11⁄2 cups long grain rice 5 cups water 1 to 2 teaspoons cumin Salt and pepper to taste Plain yogurt or tzatziki (cucumber and yogurt salad) Chopped greens (optional) Sprinkle of cayenne pepper (optional)

heat, in oil until caramelized/dark brown. You’ll start out with a lot but they will cook down considerably. What happens is the onions’ natural sugars come to the surface and create a caramelization, making them taste sweet. Combine lentils, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt and water in pan. Cover, bring to boil and cook over medium heat, covered, until lentils are half cooked, about 10 minutes. Add rice and simmer, covered, until rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Water should be absorbed but, if not, drain off. Adjust seasonings. To serve, put onions over mujadarah and garnish with yogurt and greens.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

If using brown rice, check package directions for liquid and time needed. Lentils help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar and contain protein and B vitamins.

Crockpot breakfast egg and sausage casserole No dry mustard? Leave it out. Go lightly when you sprinkle salt and pepper on. Turn this on before bed and it will be ready to eat Easter morning. I like to thaw the hash browns a bit, but the Eastern Hills reader who shared the original recipe said he “just pours them straight from the bag.” Here’s my adaptation.

Slice onions and cook, covered, over medium

2 pounds frozen shredded hash browns 1 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled 1 bunch green onions, finely sliced, both white and green parts 1 pound shredded cheese 12 eggs 1 ⁄3 cup milk 1 ⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 ⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard Salt and pepper

Spray 6-quart slow cooker/crockpot. Layer 1⁄3 potatoes on bottom, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with 1⁄3 sausage, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add 1⁄3 onions and cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat layers two more times, ending with cheese. Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder and mustard. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-5.

From readers’ kitchens

Bridgetown Finer Meats turkey salad. I enjoy chatting with Richard Hoehn and Brian Brogran about their famous turkey salad. For years, readers have asked me for a clone. And for years, I get the same answer: a chuckled “no.” I respect that this recipe is proprietary but a while back, a reader wanted it to send to her daughter in the Navy, hoping the chef there could recreate what was her favorite turkey salad from home. Bridgetown softened up and gave me ingredients, but no amounts. They sell a whopping 300 pounds of it a week and make it several times so it’s al-

Tzatziki or plain yogurt can top this spiced lentil-and-rice dish.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

ways at the peak of freshness. I sent the information to Embeth B., who then sent it to her daughter. The reply I got was this: “With your help, a recipe for a ‘close second’ was created and our daughter in the Navy says to her ‘it tastes like something from home’!” Of course it’s not the real deal, but close enough for her daughter to enjoy a taste of the West Side a long way from home.

sidered a big dog breed. Rounding out the top 10 are five “little ones:’ chihuahua (1,745), shih tzu (1,611), Yorkshire terrier (1,283), dachshund (1,276) and Jack Russell terrier (1,028). The 2014 dog license renewal season which ended Feb. 28 totaled 48,399 licenses sold in Hamilton County, a total fairly close to last year’s renewal total of 48,810. Licenses for new dogs will be sold throughout the remainder of the year and can be bought online through the Hamilton County Auditor’s website, www.hamiltoncountyaud-

itor.org, by mail to the auditor, or in person at the auditor’s office or at one of the neighborhood vendors. Go to the dog licensing icon on the auditor’s website for complete information. The 2014 top 10 dog names are Lucy (580), Max (536), Buddy (506), Bella (477), Maggie (436), Daisy (428), Sadie (415), Molly (404), Charlie (361) and Bailey(346) Gender-wise the girls rule with 24,647 to the boys at 22,896 (856 registrations did not denote a gender).

Labs are No. 1 breed on the list Labrador retriever owners have spoken! According to the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, Labrador retriever is No. 1 on the list of dog breeds most licensed in Hamilton County with 6,516 licensed Labs. Not only are Labs the “most licensed,” they left in the dust the number two breed, German shepherd, with only 2,825 licenses. Interesting is the fact that four of the top five breeds are big dog breeds. Following Labs and German shepherds are beagle (2,400), golden retriever (2,343), and boxer (2,068) with only beagle not con-

I’ve already gone through one batch of my homemade yogurt and have another batch “cultivating” on my counter. We eat yogurt year ‘round, but especially during Lent, when it tops my vegetarian lentils and rice. The yogurt recipe is too long to include here, but you’ll find it, with step-bystep phoRita tos, at Heikenfeld AbouteaRITA’S KITCHEN ting.com. The recipe I’m sharing today may be an unusual recipe to some of you. Called mujadarah, it’s a dish we grew up with that evokes fond memories of my mom wrapping her jar of homemade yogurt in towels to keep it warm enough to inoculate.

This comes after numerous complaints have been filed with state attorneys general around the country. Complaints are coming from people like Eric Wooddell of Martinsville, Ohio. “Sallie Mae is taking money specified for certain accounts (in this case the ones with higher interest rates) and posting the money how they wish (to lower interest loans),” Woodell wrote. Wooddell said he has recorded phone conversations with the company and has bank statements showing the

investigation being led by the Illinois Attorney General. Ohio has received 57 complaints about Sallie Mae since 2012. Nationwide, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reports almost half the 3,800 student loan servicer complaints it’s received are against Sallie Mae. It says the most common complaints concern inaccurate payment processing and an inability to modify loans. One complaint on file with the Ohio Attorney General reads, “On the 18th of January, I ‘paid off’ one of the loans, but they have no record of it! Key Bank has repeatedly sent them verification, and they refuse to acknowledge that they

BUSINESS NOTES

‘received the electronically sent payment’! I am beyond what to do!” Another complaint filed with the Ohio Attorney General reads, “Sallie Mae continues to change the way they have done business which changes the original agreement when the loan was made. Further investigation is needed into the Sallie Mae practices.” A spokesperson for the Illinois Attorney General said, “We’re looking into the increasing reports of abusive servicing practices involving consumers who have taken on considerable student debt loans.” Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank law in an effort to watch over banks and student loans. The law encourages state attorneys general to take more of an interest in complaints against student lenders. Sallie Mae is the nation’s largest student loan provider and had set aside $70 million to help resolve enforcement actions by the Department of Justice and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Pollen, mold counting resumes in preparation for allergy season The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has resumed monitoring and reporting pollen and mold counts in preparation for allergy season. The severity of allergy symptoms depends on the amount of pollen in the air and the degree of sensitivity of the person. To reduce exposure to pollen and mold, the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency recommends: » Minimize outdoor activity between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. – when pollen levels are highest. » Contact an allergist or doctor for medical advice. » Track pollen and mold counts. The higher the pollen and mold count is, the greater the likeli-

hood that particles will make their way into the nasal passages and lungs and induce allergic symptoms. When the weather warms up in the spring, additional precautions allergy sufferers can take include: » Avoid areas with freshly cut grass and avoid lawn care activities. » After being outdoors, it is best to shower and change clothing, as pollen can adhere to clothing, skin and hair. Be aware that pets can also bring pollen into your home. » Keep windows closed and use an air conditioner in the home and car as much as possible to reduce the amount of allergens entering.
