BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Petition opposes development Glendale residents against school plans By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Residents from a neighboring community have presented a petition protesting a proposed commercial development, just as Sharonville officials announced that the developer of the site has backed out of the agreement. Sharonville had entered into a three-way agreement with Princeton City Schools and Ho-
tel Development Services to develop property at the corner of Sharon and Chester roads. That parcel is being used as a parking lot for Princeton High School. The proposed commercial development has upset some Glendale residents, and one homeowner addressed Sharonville City Council at its June 12 meeting, submitting a petition containing 222 signatures. Glendale resident Sara Wiley read the petition: “We, the residents of Glendale, Ohio, and neighboring communities, petition the city of
Sharonville, Ohio, to revoke the purchase agreement for the 5.8 acres of the NW corner of Chester Road and Sharon Road as stated in Sharonville’s Ordinance 2011-39. “The location of this site is inappropriate for commercial use. “It is adjacent to single-family housing and does not allow for an acceptable buffering zone. “Commercial development is better suited to areas that are currently zoned commercial or adjacent to other currently zoned commercial areas.” Ordinance 2011-39, to estab-
lish the three-way agreement, was passed in September 2011. Wiley said she obtained the signatures in less than three weeks. “Ninety-five percent of the people readily signed it,” she said. “The message is clear: commercial zoning is opposed.” She also cited concerns about a decline in nearby property values, as well as an increase in traffic, noise, light and trash. “It will impact the entire Village of Glendale,” Wiley said. “While I understand (the property) is in Sharonville, I have a hard time believing you
would find it acceptable across the street from your home,” said Wiley, who owns a home on Sharon Road. Council accepted the petition and Mayor Virgil Lovitt said homeowners’ concerns would be considered before any development takes place on the corner. Development has hit a speed bump, however. “(Hotel Development Services) has been unable to sell the project,” Safety Service Director Ted Mack reported at the meeting. “They are walking away at this time.”

RELIS gets makeover 41-year-old building now sate-of-the-art administration center By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
The Robert E. Lucas Intermediate School has served Princeton City Schools in many ways over the past 40 years. Built in 1971, as a school for students in fourth- through sixth-grades, it was a cutting-edge facility with open classrooms of team teaching. When it no longer was used as an intermediate school, it filled many district needs, housing elementary students as their new buildings were constructed, and serving as a virtual academy for online learning, among others. Throughout the summer, the district will be moving its administrative departments into the building at 3900 Cottingham Drive, now called the Princeton Administration Center. It houses the professional development center, virtual academy, treasurer’s office, student services depart-

ment, human resources, technology department and Welcome Center. The curriculum, instruction and assessment department, print shop and the superintendent’s office will move into the building over the summer. The building sports the Vikings’ scarlet red and gray in every room: carpet, walls, chairs, tables, in a variety of patterns and textures. The furnishings are functional, with mobility in mind so meeting spaces can be adapted to fit the needs of the group or topic. The Board of Education will hold its meetings in a room equipped with 37 speakers in the ceiling, as well as two adjoining classrooms that can be opened for overflow crowds.

“Everything is mobile, and can be moved and adapted to something else,” said Tim Dugan, Princeton’s director of school improvement. The board room also features computer screens for school board members to view presentations that are shown on a big screen for the audience’s benefit. The cafeteria sports two TV screens and the registration area includes computers for online processing. That area has four TVs, with informational text scrolling on one and the others offering various Princeton-related videos. The renovated building includes two model classrooms and three professional development areas, which the district has already put to use for teacher and administrator workshops.

Challenges are surfacing for Evendale’s proposed bike trail. Jason Ramler, engineer for planning, design, engineering and design company URS Corp., presented maps which pinpoint several potential connection points of the trail to the Coordinating Active Communities Coalition, or CACC, Wednesday. The problem, Ramler said, is that the land is owned by other entities. Although the bike trail is not planned on existing railroad lines, two railroads run through the area, creating unwanted crossing points for the trail. In the area, the only existing bike trail is Reading’s Koenig Park trail. While the city of Reading has not agreed to connect to the trail, Ramler said, there are connection points which make it possible. The plan, while still preliminary, is part of the Evendale Bike Master Plan. Other places on the trail’s current design hinder progress because the land is owned by companies operating in the Evendale area. Ramler said a “large chunk” of land that the trail is proposed to be built on is owned by General Electric, while Formica owns another. See TRAIL, Page A2
The map by URS shows the preliminary plan for the bike trail’s route through Evendale, including potential connecting areas on land currently owned by other entities. Talks about the possibility of the bike trail running across those areas have begun with some companies, but other companies have not been contacted yet.

ies teacher and learning coach Steve Duke said. “We can walk around and see what each group wrote (on a movable display board).” In one room, teachers rearranged chairs and a sofa to watch an interactive session on a large TV screen, with laptop computers and iPads available for the workshop.
“Every square inch of this building is wireless,” Dugan said. Most of the district’s professional development will take place at the administration center, allowing teachers, administrators and other professionals to collaborate in one location. “This is the future of Princeton as we want it to be,” Dugan said. “It’s mobile, it’s Macintosh and it’s filled with the spirit of scarlet and gray.”

While GE has indicated it is open to selling part of the land which the trail has run through, it is also working on its own bike trail as part of an employee health initiative, part of which will be open to the public and could serve as a connector to other parts of the trail. Other connector problem areas include areas of the trail’s proposed route owned by Barrett Paving Materials, Container Solutions and Rohm and Haas Chemicals. Negotiations with the companies would have to take place to run the trail through its pro-
BRIEFLY Antique appraiser at library
Well-known antiques appraiser, writer and media personality Frank Farmer Loomis will be speaking at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 21, at the Sharonville Branch Library, 10980 Thornview Drive. He will talk about what makes an antique an antique, with entertaining stories from his show, his career, and the last Cincinnati visit of “Antiques Roadshow.” Loomis has a long history with antiques. He has written the books “Is It Antique Yet?” “You Can Afford Antiques!” and “Antiques 101.” He was a columnist for “Cincinnati Magazine” and the “Middletown Journal,” and has been a contributor to the Antique Review since 1990. He was an appraiser for “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS from 1997-1998. Loomis also hosted, wrote and co-produced the PBS television series “Is It Antique Yet?” from 1986-1991. He is the WMKV (89.3 FM) radio host of “Keep Antiquing.” Visit the library at www.CincinnatiLibrary. com and search for “Price It! Antiques & Collectibles ” to research your own antiques.

Designed to run mostly along the Mill Creek in Evendale, connectors were also planned to include neighboring communities, such as Blue Ash, Sharonville and Reading, if they decided to build their own and connect to Evendale’s. Ramler said he thinks the trail will one day connect the east side’s Wasson Way and Little Miami Trail. “Financing to make connections will be a challenge,” Ramler said. “... But recreation can be extended for communities with access. It’s almost 10 miles of trails in Evendale and GE.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/ Evendale.

Payne stares down, clears hurdles If not for our Tri-County Press newspaper providing a weekly flow of what our neighbors are accomplishing, we might never know how gifted and giving they are. Recently you read of the success stories of our children in this neck of the woods, and here is another one from Springdale resident Cynthia Batte. She is beside herself with pride about her son, David Payne, an Olympic champion who belongs to us and who will compete at the 2012 London Olympic Games. To be fair, Wyoming lays first claim to David, who grew up there and graduated from Wyoming High School. Then his family moved to Springdale. The high hurdles silver medalist at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, he won the bronze in the 2007 and 2009 World Championships. David was the United States champion at the USA Track and Field Nationals in 2009. His first professional year was in 2006, and he placed fifth at the USATF Nationals. Every year athletes must make the teams at the US trials to earn a place to compete for the World Championships. In 2010 David placed fourth in the nationals, but there wasn’t a world championship that year. Hampered by a stress fracture in his in right tibia, he couldn’t run. As there are only about three to four meets in the U.S. in which you
carries his UC experience with him. With UC teammate and former coach Brandon Hon, they managed to have some great years together in spite of his injury. Brandon got married, and David moved to Florida for the good weather. His new trainer is Brooks Johnson. David trains daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and tries to eat light (chicken and pasta) in order to stay light before he runs. Gracious and articulate when speaking of home, David says: “I’m happy for all the Cincinnati support. Many helped my mother get to Beijing in 2008. My thanks to Bill Schnier, head coach of UC track and field who taught me, Mary Wineburg and Brandon not only to be good athletes but also good people. I appreciate all the support from my mother (my biggest fan), and my sister, and aunt and uncle Marilyn and Rance Duke.” The preliminary trials will begin Friday, June 29, and the finals will be on Saturday. Check your TV listings for times. Visit David on his website@dpaynetv.com, send him good vibes for the Olympics and wish him happy birthday July 24.

GLENDALE — A request by a local school for a conditional use permit to add a gym to the building has brought concerns that have postponed a decision on the application. Village Council held a public hearing on the issue, during which questions about drainage were addressed. The Sisters of the Transfiguration have applied for the permit as part of a renovation to Bethany School. “Everyone supports the addition of the gym, but there are some ancillary issues which have required study,” Mayor Ralph Hoop said in a statement. “The most difficult of these is the potential for increased storm water runoff caused by the additional impervious surface.” The renovation would include a parking lot. “A number of neighbors downhill from Bethany already endure major water problems during heavy rain, and the concern is that the additional runoff is ameliorated in such as way as not to cause further difficulty.” Hoop said the school has been working to design storm detention ponds to control the runoff. Schools and churches are conditional uses in residential districts, so the building addition requires review by Glendale’s Planning Commission and Village Council.

WYOMING — Ask Corbin Guggenheim
what his most memorable moment was as a member of the Wyoming High School wrestling team, and he’ll answer in no time. It was this past winter at districts. Guggenheim was competing in the consolation semifinal bracket at 132 pounds. A win would ensure, at the least, a fourthplace finish and a trip to the state championships. Just one opponent, Chip Ratcliff of Bethel-Tate, stood in his way. Guggenheim had already lost to Ratcliff twice earlier in the year. History wouldn’t be repeated. Guggenheim earned a 9-4 decision and punched his ticket to state. “It was pretty exhilarating,” Guggenheim said. “It felt good to beat him.” The victory was vindicating for Guggenheim, who just two years earlier saw his season end with a disappointing end at sectionals. Despite the disappointment, Guggenheim regrouped and went to work. He became a man on a mission. It was state or bust. “To do what he did, his senior year, when he didn’t even quality for districts the year before, it’s amazing he was able to do that,” Wyoming wrestling coach Brian Pitman said. “That desire and determination is to be commended.” Guggenheim’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed by the public. The two-time captain of the wrestling team was voted Tri-County Press Sportsman of the Year. More than 596,000 votes were cast for local athletes at Cincinnati.com. Winners received a pair of Cincinnati Reds tickets, provided by the team. The nominees were based on excellence in athletics, academics and character. Pitman believes Guggenheim was deserving of the award because the senior exemplifies what a sportsman should be. “He’s an all-around good young man,” Pitman said. “He’s very sportsman-like. When he loses, he’s never run off. He doesn’t hold a grudge against others…win or lose, he’ll shake an opponent’s hand.” Mikey Gonzalez, who served as captain along with Guggenheim, believes his drill partner displayed tremendous leadership in the wrestling room. “He was always there and he always pushed me,” Gonzalez said. “He would run conditioning, sometimes on the weekend. He tried to get people to lift in the off-

season, or run while people were doing fall or spring sports. He was always looking for a workout.” During his season-long run to state, Gonzalez could tell Guggenheim was wrestling with extra motivation. “He knew he had to go all out this year because he knew he wouldn’t have another chance,” Gonzalez said. Guggenheim was also a key member of the Cowboys’ lacrosse team. He played football as well, from the eighth grade through his sophomore year. It was at that time he decided that wrestling would be the sport where he left his mark. “Wrestling is what I wanted to do and I didn’t want to leave without being a state qualifier,” Guggenheim said. “I just committed myself to (the sport). I didn’t want to have that ‘what if’ …that’s why I left football.” And when his hand was raised, and his state tournament spot all locked up, Guggenheim said he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “It’s just when you work so hard for something and you finally get it, it’s a great sense of accomplishment,” Guggenheim said.
WYOMING — As a kid growing up overseas, Clara Rodrigue didn’t play many organized sports or join any leagues. Her parents are engineers and the family lived in Europe for two years, and China for four years after that. If there was a team to join, the setting was very informal. And when there weren’t other kids to team up with, Clara played with her sisters, while learning the fundamentals from her father. Scott Rodrigue believes that time had a lasting effect on his daughter. “I spent a lot of time with her…just trying to work on basic skills…and I think that lasted,” Scott said. “We did that when she was young and when we moved back to the U.S. in 2001. She took those (skills) and started joining teams.” Sports stuck with Clara, who earned more than a dozen varsity letters for the Cowboys during her prep career. During her four-year prep career, Clara was a member of the cross country, volleyball, basketball and softball squads. Clara, who will attend at the University of Alabama this fall as an biological engineering major, said her time growing up overseas and learning from her dad are some of her fondest memories. “I learned all of my fundamentals and skills over there in the backyard with my sisters,” she said. “Those are great memories. It made me who I am and it made (our) family extremely close, because of where we lived and how much time we spent together. It was a very cool way to grow up.” The way she approaches athletics, as well as her academic pursuits, led to Clara being voted the Tri-County Press Sportswoman of the Year. Nominees were submitted by readers and more than 596,000 votes were cast for local athletes. Winners received a pair of Cincinnati Reds tickets, provided by the team. The nominees were based on excellence in athletics, academics and character. The bond formed with her dad as a young girl stuck with Clara as she played for the Cowboys. Before every game or match, Clara would talk with her dad about what she could do to better help her team. Scott, who not only enjoyed talking sports with his daughter, but spending time with her as well, will miss the moments. “It’s always been a special time with

her…it’s just been great. I’m really going to miss it when she goes to college.” After looking at Clara’s performance in-between the lines, it’s not hard to see why she was such a decorated athlete. For her senior season, she was secondteam all-Cincinnati Hills League in basketball, softball and volleyball. She was the libero for the volleyball squad, which capped off a magical year that saw the team go deep into the postseason after going undefeated (22-0) during the regular season. Clara said the team became a family, and that she’ll carry the memories of that season with her forever. “I love those girls…and it was just wonderful the support that people had for us. We loved seeing the crowds…it was so memorable.” Clara won’t be pursuing organized athletics in college, but just like when she was a kid, she’s certain she’ll find a game somewhere. “It’s already weird not playing organized sports,” Clara said. “I can definitely see myself playing intramurals or pickup games. I can’t leave that part of my life behind just yet.”

Protecting people with disabilities disabilities increased by 52 percent, from 961 in 2010 to 1,459 in 2011. The thefts were primarily identity, medications and personal property. To stem this dramatic increase, we want to share information that can help prevent fraud. Protecting an individual’s personal information is the only way to reduce identity theft over time. Social Security numbers, birth certificates, checking and savings account numbers, and personal identification numbers (PINs) are all key pieces of information that must be protected. Individuals with disabilities require assistance from caregivers for many of their daily needs. As a result, personal information is often accessible to many unauthorized people. We urge that access to personal information be restricted to the
A few years ago, Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann created the Coalition to Stop Fraud, Scams and Abuse. Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services is a member agency of this working group whose focus this month is on scams and fraud against residents with disabilities. Unfortunately, those with disabilities in our society have not been excluded from the increase in fraud and scams experienced by the general population in recent years. Individuals with disabilities are often more vulnerable, with less support and capacity to protect themselves. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, which collects misappropriation data state wide, reported that the number of substantiated thefts involving individuals with

Theft of medications, Alice Pavey COMMUNITY PRESS including narcotics and psyGUEST COLUMNIST chotropics, from individuals with disabilities continues to be a concern. The best step to avoid theft of medications is to establish a strict system for monitoring their handling. All medications should be stored securely and safely. Overstocking medications should be avoided, since this presents a much greater risk of theft. Personal property can include money in its various forms (cash, checks, credit, debit and
Disaster looms if we don’t reduce spending The Congressional Budget Office released its long-term budget outlook in June. The report didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. In short, the nonpartisan CBO provided us with yet another warning that continuing down our current budget path will result in disaster. The CBO is concerned about our rising level of debt. At the end of 2008, federal debt held by the public amounted to 40 percent of Gross Domestic Product (the value of all goods and services produced in the country). That is “a little above the 40-year average of 38 percent,” according to the report. By the end of this fiscal year, debt held by the public will be about 70 percent of GDP – the highest since around the time of World War II. Unfortunately, the nearterm future is going to make matters worse. “The aging of the babyboom generation portends a significant and sustained
increase in the share of the population receiving benefits from Social Security, MediJean Schmidt care, (and) long-term COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST care services COLUMNIST financed by Medicaid,” the CBO said. “Moreover, per capita spending for health care is likely to continue rising faster than spending per person on other goods and services.” In other words, if we maintain our current policies, the federal debt held by the public will reach 200 percent of GDP by 2037. Since President Obama took office in 2009, federal spending has gone up by approximately 25 percent each year – and the federal government has run annual deficits of more than $1 trillion for the last four years. In that same time, total federal
debt has grown by some $4 trillion. According to the CBO, “the explosive path of federal debt … underscores the need for large and timely policy changes to put the federal government on a sustainable fiscal course.” If we don’t stop our deficit spending soon, the United States will face higher interest on the money it’s been borrowing and will have fewer options in responding to the next financial crisis, the CBO said. The time is now to put the federal budget on a sustainable course. We simply cannot afford to continue throwing money at every problem that arises. I hope President Obama will work with Congress to make the changes necessary to avert a foreseeable budget disaster. Jean Schmidt is the U.S. Representative in Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District.

ATM cards, etc.) as well as jewelry, electronics, clothes and even furniture. Cash needs to be secured appropriately and accounts reconciled on a frequent, scheduled basis to make sure expenses are appropriate and balances are accurate. Larger, more expensive items like electronics and furniture should be inventoried (including serial and model numbers) and tracked to protect an individual’s property. To protect themselves, individuals need education regarding the risks of sharing information with strangers. Make sure that individuals know how to report a theft. Provide access to appropriate phone numbers to local law enforcement, County Board Service Facilitators and the hotline number. If you are connected with someone who has a disability
that you suspect is being taken advantage of, please call our agency’s abuse and neglect hotline at 513-794-3308. This hotline is open 24/7.

Transition to college Congratulations to all the graduating high school seniors. Your hard work preparing for tests and college entrance exams has paid off and soon it will be time to be a “freshman” again. Here are a few “College 101” tips to assist you with the transition into college life.
Communication
Take time this summer to open up the lines of communication with your parents. I don’t mean send them more texts than you probably already do. I mean it’s time to really talk. Sit down with them and discuss finances, if you need to open a checking account or get a credit card, get some laundry tips from mom or dad (hint: don’t wash a red shirt with white socks), and what to do if you get sick while you’re away at school. Do they think you’re coming home every weekend? Do you think they’re going to drive six hours to bring you home every weekend? Don’t forget to discuss their expectations about staying in touch with them while you’re away at school.
Get to know your roommate
Having a roommate, if you’re living in a residence hall, is part of the college experience. Maybe you are signed up to live with a friend
from high school or maybe you’ve decided to let the college select your roommate for you. Many colleges provide ways to connect Peggy Minnich with your roommate so you can COMMUNITY PRESS begin to build a GUEST COLUMNIST relationship. Figure out what you’d like your room to look like and begin planning what each of you will contribute to your new living space.
Learn time management
One of the true tests of going to college is learning to manage your time. Get an academic calendar and start to plot your class times. And remember, the two-hour class you have two days a week may require double that amount of time studying. See what type of activities you can get involved with: clubs, community service and intramurals are all great ways to meet new people and connect with the college community.

CH@TROOM June 13 question How should the United States respond to the atrocities in Syria?
“Tough question. Under the present administration, America ignored the atrocities in Iran and that nation's dictator continues making nuclear threats against American and Israel. “Then America ignored the situation in Egypt that toppled Hosni Mubarak. “However when it came to Libya, America claimed a NATO mandated no-fly zone forced us to help topple Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.

“To begin with, instead of the endless political attacks on the GOP by our president, Obama should begin to focus on what is happening in Syria, and his speeches should continue to condemn what is happening under the Assad regime. “We should also put more pressure on the UN to be more aggressive in its stance toward Syria. We should encourage Kofi Annan, in his role as the UN-Arab League envoy to Syria to convene an international meeting with the Russians, the Chinese, and even Iran, and address what is going on in Syria with honesty and courage. “Unfortunately, as our experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Vietnam) have shown, it would not be wise for us to launch a direct attack on the Assad regime, nor would we have the authority to do that.

obert E. Lucas Intermediate School opened in September 1971 as one of the first open classroom buildings in the southwest area. The classrooms at 3900 Cottingham Drive in Sharonville had no walls, and teachers taught collaboratively on teams. Students were placed on teams, and teachers were not only teachers, but they also assumed the role of counselor, advocate, parent in loco parentis, among others. RELIS allowed the district to be able to integrate students to meet the desegregation criteria. The Princeton district’s two primary schools, Stewart Elementary and Woodlawn Elementary, were neighborhood schools whose students reflected the community of Woodlawn and Sharonville at that time. These primary schools fed into the intermediate school, grades four to six, which allowed RELIS to become one of the most diverse elementary schools in the district. The diversity of the student body allowed students to come together to receive their education in earlier grades as opposed to waiting to move to the junior high school, to be exposed to a diverse student body. RELIS was the school that offered gifted services in grades four through six. Students who qualified for those services left their neighborhood schools to come to RELIS. Students who attended RELIS were able to enroll in instrumental music beginning in grade four. Elementary foreign language was also offered at RELIS. RELIS closed as the intermediate school in June 2004. During the Hallways are lined in Viking colors 2004-2005 school year, it of scarlet red and gray. KELLY was used as space for MCBRIDE/THE COMMUNITY PRESS Sharonville and Woodlawn elementary students while their schools were being built, and then Glendale and Heritage Hill elementary students moved in as their schools were constructed. After the new elementary buildings were built, the building sat idle until the 2009-2010 school year, when the lower level was renovated to house the district’s alternative school virtual program, Princeton Virtual Academy . PVA enrolled up to 100 students by the end of school year. The school consisted of two half-day sessions, and students received instruction using an online curriculum. PVA, as an alternative school, served students for two school years, 2009-2010 and 2010–2011). The Welcome Center moved in the summer of 2010, and the Princeton Museum and Student Services Department moved there in April 2011. In school year 2011-2012, PVA became a secondary virtual program, in which students in grades six-12 were enrolled in the school but received instruction from home using an online curriculum with online teachers. RELIS now is now called Princeton Administration Center, and houses the professional development center, PVA, treasurer’s office, student services department, human resources, technology department, and Welcome Center. Soon to follow will be the curriculum, instruction and assessment department, print shop and the superintendent’s office.

Knead 8 to 9 minutes, adding additional bread flour until bread dough is smooth and elastic. Shape into large ball and cover with large buttered bowl; let rest for 10 minutes. Remove bowl and cut dough into 2 or 3 pieces, depending on how many loaves you want. With your hands, somewhat flatten each piece of dough and roll it up longwise, to form a tight log. Place seam side down and side ends tucked under, into buttered bread pans. Lightly press dough slightly into corners of pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until double in size, about 1 hour. Bake bread at 375 degrees until done: About 35 to 45 minutes, if making 2 loaves About 30 to 35 minutes, if making 3 loaves When bread is done baking, turn out each loaf from bread pan onto a

For the bar soap, traditionally this is made with Fels Naptha for regular clothes or Ivory for delicates. Use your favorite bar soap as long as it has some cleaning power. The Fels Naptha has a distinctive aroma that smells clean. The Ivory has a slight sweet aroma. Hardly any suds form, but that’s OK since clothes come out clean. Sometimes I’ll add ½ cup clear vinegar instead of fabric softener, as well. Mix together:
1 cup whole wheat flour (Bonnie uses Kroger) 7 to 7½ cups bread flour (Bonnie uses Gold Medal Better for Bread flour) 2 envelopes rapid rise yeast (Bonnie uses Fleischmann’s) 2½ teaspoons salt 1½ cups milk 1½ cups water ¼ cup molasses ¼ cup butter

I love the sound that it makes and the fact that the only energy consumption it uses is mine.

fraudulent tax returns in order to maximize customer’s refunds so the firms could get larger fees directly from the customer’s refund checks. The lawsuit also says the firm has charged “outrageously high fees,” which it says are often not disclosed to customers. The firm is owned by Fesum Ogbazion, who started the business in Cincinnati back in 1994. Although I was unable to speak with Ogbazion, a company lawyer sent me a statement in response to my questions. The company disputes the allegations in the federal lawsuit saying it works hard to insure the independently owned franchises understand and comply with the law. The statement says the vast majority of about 200,000 tax returns were done correctly and in compliance with tax laws and regulations. “Instant Tax Service believes once more fact emerge and the entire matter is viewed in full contest, it will be clear that the company has not violated any laws or regulations,” the statement said.

Rice says all this happened Howard before Ain April 15, HEY HOWARD! when people were still filing their taxes. “I wouldn’t think I would be the only one this happened to. I just don’t know how you can stop processing checks through a bank in the middle of tax season,” she said. Rice eventually did get another check for her Ohio tax refund but she’s upset it did not include reimbursement for her bank’s bounced check fee. In addition, she says she’s been reluctant to cash it. There’s a phone number on the check to verify its authenticity but when she called she was told the company could not verify it. I’ve learned checks issued by Tax Tree had been returned in cities all over the country. I contacted Instant Tax Service and the company has now sent Rice a new refund check that includes the bounced check fee. But the United States Justice Department has filed suit seeking to close down the Dayton, Ohiobased Instant Tax Service. The suit says several franchisees filed

The company that owns Instant Tax Service, and its founder, are under fire from federal authorities following more than 900 complaints from customers over the past three years. I have also received and reported on complaints about this company, which bills itself as the fourth largest tax preparation company in America. It claims to have hundreds of locations in 34 states, including here in the Tristate. Barbara Rice, of Goshen, visited one of those locations in February to have her taxes done. “They took my fees out of my state tax return so I got a $22 check. It was written on something called Tax Tree. I waited about three weeks to cash it,” Rice said. Tax Tree is another subsidiary of the corporation that owns Instant Tax Service. Rice says she was soon told there was a problem with its check. “So I went to my bank and they said my tax check had bounced. So the bank had taken the money out of my account and charged me $10 for the bounced check charge,” Rice said. Rice complained to Instant Tax Service and said she was told it was her own fault for waiting to cash the check. She was told the check bounced because the company had switched

Notable artist to visit Evendale for art workshop By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com
People with a creative touch looking to learn more about art will have the opportunity to with an internationally known artist. Evendale Cultural Arts Center has enlisted artist C.F. Payne to apply his talents to teaching other artists how to create a skillful landscape composition.
Originally scheduled for March, the first workshop fell through and was rescheduled for June 23 and June 24. Fee for the workshop is $200, and workshop times are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. A mixed-media artist, Payne uses different mediums and layers them to create an original piece based on an image he has seen,
but has altered to make it a better composition, said Susan Gordy, director of the Evendale Cultural Arts Center. He takes a photograph, Gordy said, and mixes mediums such as oil paint, acrylic, watercolor and colored pencil to create a new image similar to the original. “It’s not just like he has a paintbrush,” she said. “He uses all different things

When a person first experiences the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia – a growing inability to concentrate, the sudden loss of memory, occasional disorientation – it can be a truly frightening situation. It can be equally difficult for the person’s family. To help individuals and their families confronted by the many challenges and questions associated with early stage dementia, the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati is offering an Early Stage Lecture Series at the Centennial Barn, 110 Compton Road. The next presentation, that is free to the public, will be: » Addressing Legal Issues after a Diagnosis by Mary Ann Jacobs, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 28. Jacobs is a senior partner at Ritter & Randolph LLC and is a former president of the board of director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Cincinnati. Her presentation will cover various legal issues, in-
and just goes to town.” Gordy said this workshop is mostly about working on technique and composition, where Payne wants to teach artists to not “be a slave to the picture,” and to think outside of the box. The workshop, she said, begins with coffee for about the first hour, where Payne will sit and talk with the students, to set a relaxed atmosphere.

Club’s tradition of volunteerism and philanthropy dates back to 1897. The Cincinnati Woman’s Club President’s Project began in 1947 when the club president envisioned a carnival to raise funds for the area’s hungry children. Following the carnival’s success, similar fundraising events were conducted biennially, each closely identified with the Cincinnati Woman’s Club president and her special philanthropy.

Cincinnati Woman’s Club members will help provide funds for building renovation and equipment that is to be installed at Oyler’s School-Based Health Center. Once the clinic is up and running it will be a sustainable, self-funded program. Approximately 80 percent of learning under normal circumstances is through vision acquisition. Eye and vision health play a significant role in a child’s ability to learn, socialize, and develop complex motor skills. If a child can’t see the board, or the teacher or the front of the class, it will obviously adversely affect the child’s academic achievement. Through the combined efforts of school district administrators, Cincinnati’s health department and committed community leaders, including the Cincinnati Woman’s Club, Oyler will be the first school in the region to have an eye clinic that provides vision exams and glasses. The Cincinnati Woman’s

Led by President Marianne Beard, The Cincinnati Woman’s Club, in conjunction with multiple health partners, area philanthropists, and some public funding, is poised to provide prescription eyeglasses to all Cincinnati Public School children who need vision correction through the to-be-established Vision Care Clinic in the Oyler School-Based Health Center. There are currently no primary eye and vision care services offered in Cincinnati School-Based Health Centers. Last year’s eyesight screenings revealed that one in three children at Oyler needed corrective lenses, but by year’s end fewer than half actually had received glasses. The Cincinnati Woman’s Club wants to ensure that all children at Oyler who need eyeglasses will get them. To achieve this goal Beard has designated “Through the Eyes of a Child” as her President’s Project for 2012.

Church hosts Rev. Ranck
Northern Hills Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 460 Fleming Road, Springfield Township, is hosting nationally awarded feminist theologist the Rev. Shirley Ann Ranck at the 10:45 a.m. service Sunday, June 24. This is part of the church’s 50th anniversary year. Ranck will disucss “The Grandmother Galaxy.” She describes the talk as: “As we continue into this new century, this new millennium, what are the most important issues facing our religious movement? The fastest growing segment of our population is that of the crones, the old women. Do you know them? If more crones were in positions of power what might they be able to teach us? In what directions would they lead the religion of the future?” Her presentation includes readings from Jane Caputi, Jacqui James, and Susan Griffin. Ranck was ordained by Northern Hills Fellowship and installed as its first minister in 1980, after graduating from the Unitarian Universalist seminary Starr King with a master’s of divinity degree. In the years since then, she has touched the lives of many women with her feminist theology curriculum and book “Cakes for the Queen of Heaven.” The Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation presented her its Ministry to Women Award a few years ago, and in March of this year, to commemorate Women’s History Month, the Harvard Square Library honored her for her curriculum. For more information, call the church at 931-6651 or go to www.nhf.org or Facebook (Northern Hills Fellowship) for information and directions.

What’s On Tap? 2011 Water Quality Consumers’ Confidence Report Last year, as in years past, your Lockland tap water met all US EPA and State EPA drinking water health standards! This pamphlet, What’s On Tap? gives all the details. Lockland Water Source The source of Lockland’s drinking water is three wells, about 200 feet deep, each having the capacity to pump 700 to 900 gallons per minute: that’s more than 1,000,000 gallons per day. The wells are located three miles north of Lockland in Sharonville, Ohio. This source has provided a dependable water supply since the early 1940s The wells are susceptible to contamination due to the sensitive nature of the sand and gravel aquifer in which the water wells are located and the existing potential contaminant sources (e.g., commercial and manufacturing establishments). The wells’ depth, however, of about 200 feet, provides some natural protection against the downward migration of contamination. Since 1999, in order to minimize any future potential contamination to the well field, Lockland has been active in implementing EPA recommended strategies, including: Wellhead Protection Delineation in 1999 Wellhead Protection Inventory of Potential Pollution Sources in 2001 Resurvey of Potential Sources in 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008 Implemented Wellhead Management Plan in 2003 Ohio EPA awarded Lockland a certificate commending the Village for our Wellhead Protection Program. Water Treatment Process The well water is pumped from the well field to the Lockland water treatment plant for the following processes: Reduce the Well Water Hardness. The well water hardness, averaging 385 mg/l (parts per million), is reduced to an average of 175 mg/l by adding lime (calcium hydroxide) to precipitate the harness as calcium carbonate. Stabilization. Corrosion and lime scale deposits in the water distribution system and residential plumbing are minimized by adjusting the water pH with carbon dioxide and adding 1 mg/l sodium hexameta phosphate (Calgon). Sterilization. Is achieved by the addition of chlorine to the water. The average chlorine residual in the distribution system was 0/8 mg/l, the maximum was 2.2 mg/l. The EPA maximum allowable residual is 4.0 mg/l. Filtration. Is achieved by running the water through two sand and gravel gravity filers before distribution to Lockland customers.

Routine Water Quality Analysis Average 2011 Daily Treated Water Quality Analyses: Hardness, four times per day 170.0 mg/1 Alkalinity, four times per day 74.0 mg/1 Chlorine (free), four times per day 1.09 mg/1 Chlorine, maximum 1.44 mg/1 EPA Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): 4.0 mg/1 Distribution System: All Negative Bacteriological, four times per month: Possible Drinking Water Contaminants Drinking water, including bottled water, may be reasonably expected to contain small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health risks can be obtained by calling EPA’s Drinking Water Hotline (l.800.426.4791) or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/. Some people, however, may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. People whose immune systems are compromised—such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy; persons who have undergone organ transplants; people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders; some elderly persons; and infants—can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. The EPA and CDC guidelines on appropriate means of lessening the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1.800.426.4791) and http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/ Sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) may dissolve potential contaminants as the water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground. Since Lockland’s water source is from deep wells, the contaminant source is primarily dissolved, naturally occurring minerals. Based upon past monitoring data, lead in Lockland’s drinking water is not a concern. The most recent test results, for a set of 20 samples, collected on September 29, 2008 at individual residences, were all less than the detectable level. If present, however, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and component pieces of water service lines and home plumbing. Lockland’s public drinking water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in home plumbing components. If your water has been setting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by running your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1.800.426.4791 or at http:// www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Water Treatment Plant Operations The Director of Public Works, Dean Walden is responsible for the Water Treatment Plant’s operation. Each month we send reports to Ohio EPA. These reports show our compliance with EPA’s chemical and bacteriological health regulations. Annually, Ohio EPA’s engineers also inspect the water system for compliance with regulations, laboratory procedures, water quality and facilities maintenance. Lockland’s Water Treatment Plant Operators are licensed by the State of Ohio.* They are: Mike Foster ORC: WS2-1011952-01 Gary Koehne WS2-1009254-78 Dwight Sowder WS1-10651 72-09 Mike Bastin License Pending - Core Person ID# 1120634 *A Class 2 license is required for all water plants of Lockland’s size and type of treatment process and distribution system. Mr. Sowder is currently preparing for the Class 2 license examination. Mike Bastin will be receiving his Class 1 license in 2012. If You Have Any Questions . . . Call Dean Walden, Director of Public Works, at 513.733.0957 or voice mail 513.761.7420, Ext. 106.or write the Village of Lockland 101 North Cooper Avenue, Lockland, Ohio 45215 or attend a regular Village Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month.
