BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Chabot makes stop in Evendale Health care plan a big focus of discussion By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot got some feedback from about 100 of his constituents regarding the federal government. Chabot (R-Westwood) hosted a town hall meeting at the Evendale Recreation Center, 10500

Reading Road, Aug. 7 to share some of his views on the biggest issues concerning Washington, as well as get some input back from people living in the First Congressional District that he represents. Among those issues were the Healthcare Affordability Act, dubbed Obamacare, immigration and Cincinnati’s

streetcar project. He talked about how he thinks Obamacare needs to be

defunded, but there are several parts of the act that he feels are favorable. Chabot said that portions of the act, such as children staying on parents’ health insurance policies until 26 and individuals with pre-existing conditions being provided insurance, should be maintained. He added, though, that he felt the act encompasses too much. “It doesn’t justify jamming

something like this down our throats,” he said. Several people in the audience stood to say they support defunding Obamacare, and Chabot said he believes many other Republican representatives are hearing the same from their constituents. Rose Pietras, a resident of Price Hill, said that ReSee CHABOT, Page A2

VERMONT STUDENTS PLANT SEEDS OF GIVING Garden benefits school in Africa, community By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

tudents at Vermont School are learning lessons as varied as the plants they’re growing. Students in grades kindergarten through four designed, funded and planted a garden that will provide sustenance to the community, and to a sister school in Africa. The inter-disciplinary project brought together students in all grades to build, plot, plant, measure and determine what plants, herbs and vegetables to grow. They gathered donations from local businesses and families, and studied native Ohio plants and their life cycles. The herbs and vegetables will be harvested at Wyoming’s Farmer’s Market, and the students will host a soup-and-salad night in August to raise funds for their sister school, The Empowering Children School in Sierra Leone. The benefit was more than a science or math lesson, said Adam Beard,

the third-grade teacher who coordinated the project. “It gives kids a sense of pride,” he said, “and the opportunity to give back. “They have a garden to raise, and learn from, and use it to give back to kids around the world who need their help. “They’re learning here, but giving there.” Each grade had a section of the garden, where they planted vegetables including lettuce, carrots, corn, tomatoes, green beans, peas, onions and lima beans, among others. Third-grader Jeffrey Evans said he likes watching the plants get taller and grow. “It pays off for all your hard work.” His favorite part? “I liked measuring the plots to make the garden.” Lauren Turner said she learned that plants grow differently. “Some plants grow tall, like corn,” she said. “But carrots, the part you eat grows in the ground.” She enjoyed planting the seeds. “It’s fun to know where they’re growing,” she said, “and what they’re See SEEDS, Page A2

Sharonville is considering adding another hotel as part of the reinvigoration of Chester Road. The city commissioned a study by Hotel and Leisure Advisors that has supported the construction of a hotel in the front lot of the Sharonville Convention Center. The $20,000 study, funded through the city’s economic development general budget, is a typical first step in the development process, according to Economic Development Director Chris Xeil Lyons. Lyons said the study also suggested: » an interior connection, from the convention center to the hotel; » a select service hotel size of about 180 rooms; » an onsite, full-service restaurant; » amenities for business travelers, including a business center and WiFi; and » a modest banquet space and board room. The hotel would be built and owned by a private company, on land either leased or bought from the city. Lyons said the study, still in a draft stage, is the first step in determining the future of Chester Road. She said a hotel would also benefit Princeton City Schools, which is buildSee HOTEL, Page A2

publicans need to not back down from Obamacare and continue to try and defund it. “If Republicans in the House fold (on Obamacare), they will have no respect from anyone else in the United States,” she said. Chabot also touched on immigration and the actions following the Senate’s immigration reform bill. Instead of a sweeping bill, he said that targeting certain areas for reform would be more effective. Some of the areas he said that are being considered for change in the form of House bills are improving border control, adding more crimes that include deportation as a penalty, streamlining the agricultural workers program that ensures working immigrants return to

their country after work is finished and other immigration issues. His discussion looked at topics as well, including Cincinnati’s streetcar project. Although Congress is not involved, Chabot said that if he could, he would defund the streetcar and doesn’t support federal stimulus funds for it, but considers money for that better used for “legitimate” projects such as roads and interstates. “It’s not free money from Washington,” he said, “The streetcar is a waste of money ... I don’t think people will be riding the streetcar regularly.” Chabot’s stop in Evendale was one of several, including town halls in Wayne and Salem townships the days before.

Technology came from designing the garden beds. Engineering took place as the garden was constructed. Art was part of the design and plant sticks that the student painted to identify the garden. Math was used to measure the garden perimeter and seed spacing. The project involved all grades at Vermont School, and Beard thanked members of the community and the Vermont School staff for their support and many hours of hard work. “Parents donated

Hotel ing a community center as part of its high school and middle school campus, and is within walking distance of the convention center. The community center will include a performance theater, ball fields and an arena. “Businesses, instead of going to other counties for hotel amenities, will be able to stay onsite,” Lyons said, adding that this will help attract business meetings and conventions that last more than one day, with overnight needs.

“A new hotel will make the Sharonville Convention Center a self-contained convention center,” Lyons said. “This is a center that contains both meeting space and sleeping rooms. “Self-contained hotels are very attractive for event and convention planners,” she said. “A successful convention center hotel will build compression in the existing hotel market, making other hotels in the area healthier.” For more about your community, visit Cincinnati.com /Sharonville.

Hilliard City Schools uses Mike’s model. It is the ninth largest school system in Ohio, serving nearly 16,000 students. Of the 832 Ohio schools and school districts, Hilliard ranked No. 1 in 2011-2012 and has received the state’s highest rating, “Excellent with Distinction,” for the past five years. Other schools visit Hilliard to see success in action, and still others from surrounding counties as well other states have put this system to good use.

Their investigation puts them in contention with a corrupt Washington politician and a New York mobster also after the killer.

The farm threw him a small birthday party, in which staff and volunteers attended to celebrate. He's shown with volunteer handler Joel Greenberg, who said that miniature horses live to be about 25 to 35 years old. Although Huckleberry is 30 in human years, he's 85 in "horse years."

FORT WRIGHT — Canvas tents protect Union soldiers from drenching fall rains, as musicians beat drums and toot trumpets. Lanky teenagers stand beside grandfathers with beards more white than gray, as they load and fire a cannon from the hilltop of Battery Hooper, the army’s last stand to protect Cincinnati from a Confederate invasion. The date could be Sept. 10, 1862, or it could be Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 17 and 18, at the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum’s ninth annual Battery Hooper Days, a celebration commemorating the Union Army’s defense against The Siege of Cincinnati. The event takes place from noon-6 p.m. Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday at the museum, 1402 Highland Ave., with public parking next door at Community of Faith Presbyterian Church.

grounds and the museum for this family-friendly event, which features a Civil War encampment on the grounds of Battery Hooper, living history presentations, local musical acts, displays of mid-19th century life and the Honey Hill Petting Zoo. Among the presenters this year will be Stan Wernz as President Abraham Lincoln, David Walker as Lincoln’s Confederate counterpart Jefferson Davis, Dana Gagnon as author Harriet Beecher Stowe, and museum volunteer Tom Kriedler as the city’s namesake, Gen. Horatio Wright. “I think it’s a fantastic opportunity for the people of this area to come and learn about the Seige of Cincinnati, the activity of Gen. Lew Wallace and how close we came to being attacked,” said Wernz of Wyoming. “I believe that Lew Wallace’s comments to the people of Cincinnati are instructive to us to this day, as the words of Lincoln also speak to us today. He spoke 150 years ago, but the message is still the same, ‘We must be ever vigilant.’” He said he is looking forward to this year’s event, especially “doing the dialogue that should have been,” when Wernz and Walker share the presidents’ views about the war.

“We have a great deal of fun doing it, but we also try to keep it historically accurate, except for the fact that Lincoln and Davis did not appear together,” said Wernz. “This Civil War Museum is a gem, right in our backyard. I still find many people who don’t know it’s there.” New this year will be museum volunteer Bernie O’Bryan’s portrayal of

Brunke will start the upcoming school year as principal at Mercer Elementary. Her resignation, effective Aug. 1, has initiated a search for her replacement. Criteria for the position of assistant superintendent are described on the district website, wyomingcityschools.org. The assistant superintendent will oversee human resources, curriculum, instruction and contract administration. Qualifications include a master’s degree with an emphasis on administration, supervision or curri-

The position will remain open until filled, though public relations director Susanna Max said the Board of Education is hoping to hire an assistant superintendent in August. School begins Aug. 20. “Forest Hills offered Dr. Brunke an opportunity to be a building leader in a school, and she took it,” Superintendent Susan Lang said. “We wish her well.” For more about your community, visit Cincinnati.com/Wyoming.

St. Gabriel students pass through Ellis Island Eighth-grade students at Saint Gabriel Consolidated School had an opportunity for a hands-on experience of walking through Ellis Island. During an “Immigration Simulation” project, each student was assigned a person of European descent. During the weeks prior to arriving at Ellis Island, the students researched and journaled about their upcoming trip to America. The students arrived at Ellis Island in costume with their passport and possessions. They then passed through a simulation of a Medical Examination Station, General Interview Station and Special Inquiry Station. Volunteers served as immigration officers and doctors at respective stations. Some students were welcomed to America, while others left in despair after being deported. The project proved to be very meaningful and thought-provoking for all involved.

First shot at 2013 boys soccer

First pass on 2013 girls soccer

HAMILTON COUNTY — With preview games in the books, the following is a rundown of high school boys soccer teams in the Tri-County Press coverage area.

HAMILTON COUNTY — With preview games in the books, the following is a rundown of high school girls soccer teams in the Tri-County Press coverage area.

Heading to the goal Early kicks at the net CHCA

CHCA

The Eagles posted a 4-9-4 record in 2012, including a 2-2-3 mark in the MVC. First team all-MVC pick Colin Kenney graduated, but CHCA returns juniors Landon and Luke Hardwick, both of whom were second-team all-league selections as sophomores. Landon scored nine goals for the Eagles last year, while Luke chipped in a pair of assists. Tom Jester and Chris Zhang should provide senior leadership.

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy went 8-8-2 last season, including a 3-3 record in the Miami Valley Conference good for fourth place. Junior Katie Koopman was one of the top 20 scorers in the MVC as a sophomore and should help spark the Eagles offense.

Moeller

Veteran Moeller coach Randy Hurley is back for year 26 with the Crusaders. Moeller has had five straight winning seasons and was 11-8-1 (3-4 Greater Catholic League South) in 2012. They last won the GCL-South in 2010. The Crusaders return six starters including seniors Henry Myers, Zach Bonn, Mark Lacey, Mark Bugada and Tyler Himes. Myers was second team GCL-South as a junior and is considered a potential Division I prospect. Moeller starts off the 2013 campaign with a home game against Walnut Hills on Aug. 22.

Princeton

The Vikings had a lot of practice kissing their collective sisters in 2012, posting a 5-5-7 record for the season. Four of those ties came in Greater Miami Conference play, where Princeton went 2-3-4 to finish seventh in the league. Head coach Tony Capurro expects significant improvement this season. “I think one of our strengths is we have great chemistry,” he said. “Since we started young, they’ve grown together. They’ve been together three or four years now and they know what to expect.” Senior midfielder Noah Kaiser, senior defender Nathan Walz and junior center midfielder Andrew Rolfes serve as captains. Senior Maleek Dem and and junior Jared Grubich return after all-GMC performances at defensive midfield and defender last season. Senior James Grieshop returns at keeper behind junior defender Jacob Russell and senior center midfielder Omar Ngaide. Juniors Trey Pate and Spencer Turner join senior C.J. Thompson at forward. (Thompson and Walz also play football for the Vikings.) “The GMC is as strong as it’s ever been since I’ve been here,” Capurro said. “Even though we’re improved, it’s still going to be tough for us. We have to keep everybody fit and healthy to compete.” The Vikings open Aug. 20 at home against Wyoming before going on the road Aug. 21 to face Talawanda.

Roger Bacon

After allowing 57 goals last season en route to a 2-13-2 season, coach Dick Arszman likes what he sees defensively from his team in 2013. Seniors Joe Engel and Bailey Rolsen return at the defender position, while Josh Engel and Scott Enneking are back to man the net. Kyle Suffoletta and Rash Abdelwahed are expected to run the offense after combining for three goals and six assists last season. Junior Bobby Wilking should also provide a spark for Arszman offensively. “We have a nice nucleus and our key is to keep them healthy at this point because we don’t have a lot of (depth),” the coach said. “You get one or two out and that can kind of mess up the continuity of the group.” The Spartans start their season Aug. 17 against Withrow.

St. Xavier Brian Schaeper takes over the Bombers in 2013 after 13-year coach Henry Ahrens stepped down. Schaeper enters his eighth season with the Bombers’ program after serving as an assistant under Ahrens and most recently as the junior varsity coach, so he is very familiar with the roster he is working with. He takes over a varsity team that won the Greater Catholic League South and made a run to the regional semifinals last season. Senior center midfielder Austin Harrell returns after scoring five goals and dishing out two assists last season, earning him first team All-GCL honors. Fellow senior Kiley Sunderhaus led the Bombers with seven goals last season en route to first-team honors as well. Forward Jack Caudill joins center defender David Elsen and midfielder Mitch Bernert as the other returners. “This year’s team is very excited about the 2013 season,” Schaeper said. “The players believe in their ability to experience success, and so far they have showed that they are willing to put in the work to accomplish their goals.” The Bombers start their season on the road at Loveland Aug. 17.

Wyoming

The Cowboys rode to a solid record last fall of 13-3-1 (4-2-1 Cincinnati Hills League) but it was only good for fourth place among the tough competition. Wyoming has had five straight winning seasons and the last league title came in 1998. Coach Steve Thomas returns five starting seniors in captains Drew Wayman and Ryan Derge, plus Jared Heidotting, Ben Fershtman and Nolan Prevish. Sophomore strikers Jay Klein and Ivan Meisner will also be counted upon. Wayman was a first-team CHL pick in 2012 with Derge taking honorable mention. Both are considered college prospects. Wyoming begins the season on the road at Walnut Hills on Aug. 17. After another road match at Princeton Aug. 20, the Cowboys are back at Bob Lewis Stadium against Anderson Aug. 22.

Mount Notre Dame

Despite a 13-3-1 overall record in 2012, coach Doug Conway’s MND Lady Cougars were fourth in the GGCL-Scarlet at 2-2-1. Still, they’ve had a winning season in every season Conway’s been in command and look to be a factor in the renamed Girls Greater Catholic League. Though standout Rose Lavelle is gone to graduation and Wisconsin, MND returns five starters and four college commits. Junior goalkeeper Sam Leshnak was a U17 World National Team member and will play for North Carolina. Senior Maddie Volz will play for Anderson University in South Carolina, senior Amy Dean is going to Akron and senior Kelly Hinkle is going to Charleston Southern. Hinkle was GGCL-Scarlet second team last season. Other possible commitments could come in the future with senior Maria Veneziano and several juniors. In addition, Conway is high on freshman forward/goalkeeper Jenna Prathapa. “We have a very athletic and seasoned team with a good mix of upperclassmen,” Conway said. “It’s the best freshman class I have ever seen and should impact the team moving forward. We should be good for years to come.” Mount Notre Dame starts the season at Mason Aug. 20. The home opener is Aug. 24 against Lebanon.

Princeton

The Vikings went 5-12-1 last season and finished in the bottom quarter of the Greater Miami Conference. First-year head coach Rich Ledford returns several key players he hopes will help facilitate a return to a winning record. “One thing that we do well is the bonding and structure of the team,” he said. “They’ve bought in to what we’re teaching. I think we can really turn the corner for Princeton soccer.” Seniors Skyler Wilson and Hailey Martin return in the midfield, while classmate Izzy Reisen is back as a defender. Senior Sierra Powell brings additional experience. NCAA Dvision I prospect Abby Stevens - a junior goalie - was an all-GMC and all-city honoree as a sophomore and anchors the defense, which should be the strength of the team. “I think scoring might be a little bit difficult for us,” Ledford said. “We’re going to really work on putting the ball in the net. We have some new formations that are more attack heavy.” Princeton opens the season Aug. 21 at home against Talawanda.

Roger Bacon

Tom Eckart enters his fifth season as the Spartans’ coach. After running out a young team in 2012 that finished the season 6-12, Eckart is hoping for a better understanding of his system with the girls having a season under their belts. Sophomore striker Jackie Frame is back after leading the Spartans with 12 goals a season ago. She is joined by fellow sophomore Shelby Watterson at defender and junior Ashley DeBurger at midfield. Eckart has a position battle brewing at goalkeeper between junior Tabatha Adams and freshman Natalie Geers. While Adams holds the position as of today, he expects the newcomer to challenge for playing time throughout the season. Eckart and his Spartans open the sea-

Ursuline Academy

The Lions were one step from the Division I final four last season - going 163-2 and taking second in the Girls Greater Cincinnati League - before losing 2-1to Mason in the regional final. Head coach Colleen Dehring graduated seven from that squad, including 2013 Northeast Suburban Life Sportswoman of the Year Michelle Christy, now playing at Tennessee, and Sarah Byrne who now plays for Dayton. But Ursuline’s cupboard is far from bare as a result. “We have great team chemistry and a very strong returning core,” Dehring said. “We also have several players who have been playing together for three years, so they know each other and understand how to play with each other. We have holes to fill in each area of the field, but I am confident that we have a great group from which we can fill those holes.” Returning starters include a pair of seniors in keeper Anna Speyer and defender Allison Werner. Also back a quintet of juniors: Defenders Jordan Hollmeyer and Emma Niehaus, midfielders Mattina Girardot and Andie Kennard, and striker Sarah Roberston. Varsity veterans who could step into starting roles this season include senior midfielder Sarah Seedhouse, junior midfielder Emily Halmi, junior defender Andrea Sanitato and sophomore midfielder Holyn Alf. Keep an eye on freshman Paige Hollmeyer, Jordan’s younger sister, who could make an impact right away.

Wyoming

The Cowboys hope to be back in the winning saddle after a 6-11 (4-3 Cincinnati Hills League) campaign last fall under coach Lauren Gruber. The second-year coach returns six starters in seniors Emma Klug, Kelsey Brunsman, Maddie Clark, Carly Varland, Lindsey Smith and sophomore Meredith Glover. Klug and Varland were second team CHL selections, with Clark making honorable mention. Gruber also has some promising freshmen in striker Kayla Hampton and midfielder Jasmine Evans. Junior Olivia Munneke takes over at goalkeeper, with Wyoming’s last two keepers now playing Division I soccer. “We have some exciting young talent this year to complement several key returning seniors who are entering their fourth varsity season,” Gruber said. “If some of the young players can step up and fill some key roles for us, we hope to be able to compete with some of the heavyweights on our schedule.” The remainder of the Cowboys roster includes seniors Katie Sena, Danielle Rush and Anna Kamphaus; juniors Rosylen Rathbone, Briana Hall and Sonia Pendery; sophomore Chelsea Davis and freshmen Casey Jervier and Emily Dudek. Wyoming begins the season at Ross on Aug. 17.

KINGS HAMMER GIRLS REACH NATIONAL STAGE AGAIN

By Adam Turer

presspreps@gmail.com

For the second straight year, Kings Hammer Academy’s girls U16 red team placed second at the 2013 U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships. The squad advanced to the championship match before falling in penalty kicks on Sunday, July 28, at the Overland Park Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kan. Last year, Kings Hammer lost the National Championship 1-0. This year, Kings Hammer extended the championship match into overtime, before losing on PKs, 2-2 (5-3). The loss stings, but there is definitely comfort in playing at the highest level against the best teams the country has to offer. Following the tournament, Kings Hammer was awarded the Fair Play Award, given to the team that all coaches and administrators voted on as the best overall team at the championships. “Our expectation going into this year after losing last year was to go one better and win it all,” said Kings Hammer coach Jon Pickup. “That being said, to reach a National Championship two years in a row is something special in itself.” In the first match of the championships, Kings Hammer routed Toms River (New Jersey) Elite United FC, 5-1. Four of the

goals were scored by Oak Hills High School Highlanders — Sydney Kilgore, Bayley Feist, Brittany Mahoney, and Katie Murray — while the fifth was notched by Summit Country Day’s Mia Schreibeis. The second match was tighter, Feist and Dixie Height High School’s Lauren Nemeroff scoring late goals to give Kings Hammer a 2-1 victory over Match Fit Colchesters (N.J.). Nemeroff scored the lone Kings Hammer goal in a 1-1 draw with 97 Louisiana Fire Navy. The 2-0-1 mark

players’ dedication and drive also impresses me. We try to play the game the right way so in regards success our possession of the ball was key.” In the final, Mahoney gave Kings Hammer a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. A goal by DMCV in the 69th minute forced overtime. Nemeroff put Kings Hammer back on top with a goal in overtime, but her score was equalized by DMCV in the 95th minute. DMCV was a perfect 5-5 in penalty kicks to earn the victory. “It was devastating to

We obviously have great players but we work hard for each other and the team concept is our main focus,” said Pickup. “The

in pool play was enough to advance Kings Hammer to the National Championship, where they faced Southern California’s DMCV Sharks Elite. “The girls played very well together and jelled very quickly this year as we had quite a lot of turnover at the end of last season,” said Pickup. “That’s what has impressed me the most this year as the girls really took off where they left off in 2012.” The core of the team has been together for three to four years, with several players growing

lose on pens as we had numerous opportunities to win the game in regulation and then again in overtime after leading in both periods,” said Pickup. “We played well enough to win the game so it was hard going all the way to penalties only to lose especially after losing last year as well.” Despite the heartbreaking loss, there were plenty positives to take away from the experience. Nemeroff was named the MVP of the tournament, and she was joined on the Best 11 by Murray. Their individual efforts were recognized, but it was the total team effort that has brought Kings Hammer so much success in recent years. “I would say the team’s consistency at the highest level is what impresses me the most,” said Pickup. “I think what makes playing us so hard is that other teams need to shut down our whole team rather than certain individuals.” The players now prepare for their high school seasons. Most will be back with Kings Hammer next year, hoping that the third time is the charm. “These girls, with a few new additions, will return as always focused and ready to try and achieve their ultimate goal of becoming National Champions,” said Pickup. “Third time is lucky is what I am hoping for!”

Social Security more important now than ever Half of Americans have less than $10,000 in savings, and only 14 percent are very confident they will have enough money for a comfortable retirement according to a study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Our nation’s retirement system has been described as a “three-legged stool” of pensions, savings and Social Security. As employer provided pensions have disappeared and saving has become more difficult for families, Social Security has never been more important. Social Security is one of the greatest anti-poverty programs in our country’s history. This most efficient, most effective retirement program is

The code of the west Recent incidents, including legal proceedings involving gun killings, have reminded me of the Code of the West, perhaps better remembered as the Cowboy’s Code of Conduct. Back in the days when the nation was a youth and in places where rattlesnakes abounded on the trail, our hardy forefathers lived and died by this code. Some of us can only remember the gunslinger’s law which says “shoot first and ask questions later.” This quip is a gross over-simplification of a complex situation. For instance the code says that when a stranger wanders into camp, one must provide him with a meal and drink. Further one must not ask about the stranger’s background and certainly never insult his mother. Otherwise he is liable to draw his six shooter. At that point and if he does, then one may shoot first and ask the hard questions later. Today 30 states of the Union have “stand your ground” statutes, and the rest will debate whether to have one. Only last week Charleston a bill was introduced into the Ohio C.K. Wang legislature to allow COMMUNITY PRESS concealed carry of GUEST COLUMNIST firearms into public places such as churches, day cares, and government buildings. Are we reverting to a nation of gunslingers who in days long gone wore six-guns out of necessity, but always openly and with an honor code on their use? Are our communities so broken and the citizens so overwrought with fear of assault that we must live by the point of our gun because that is the only law that the outlaw understands? Before the invention of “stand your ground,” our common law required a man to retreat from an assault before one is justified in shooting the assailant. A finer point of common law, now apparently forgotten, is that a man claiming self defense cannot be the one who initiates a confrontation. I can write about the Code of the West with trepidation and also with some fond admiration because under that code, the good cowboy must never gun down an unarmed man and certainly never ever a woman or child.

rity would result in higher COLAs, ensuring that seniors are able to better keep up with the rising costs of essential items, like health care. » Improve the long-term financial condition of the Trust Fund – Social Security is not in crisis, but does face a longterm deficit. To help extend the life of the trust fund the Act phases out the current taxable cap of $113,700 so that payroll taxes apply fairly to every dollar of wages. Combined, these changes would increase benefits for current and future beneficiaries while making Social Security stronger for future generations by extending the life of the Trust Fund through 2049. Harkin commented on his Strengthening Social Security

Act of 2013, “We must ensure that, after a lifetime of hard work, Americans are able to retire with dignity and financial independence. This legislation helps to achieve that goal.” At a time when all the other pillars of our retirement security are coming up short, we have Senator Harkin to thank for providing the leadership to preserve Social Security for the longterm. If we follow Harkin’s lead, Social Security works well into the future. Richard O. Schwab was associate head of school, and middle school head, Cincinnati Country Day School.

CH@TROOM Aug. 7 question Should the minimum wage for fastfood workers be doubled from $7.25 to $15 an hour and should they be given the right to unionize? Why or why not?

“For more than 50 years, fast food locations have been great places for high school age students to get their first real part time job and/or summer job. The hourly wage was in line with the federal minimum wage adjusted for each state. “Part of the food prices offered at such places as McDonalds, KFC, and Burger King is dependent on lower payroll costs. Those wishing to make more than minimum could work more hours and get into management. “Owning a franchise was a dream for many. The current hourly wage is in line with government guidelines. If it is raised too high each fast food location will cut back on the number of employees and their hours. American workers have a right to unionize. “Due to the employee turnover and lack of full time workers I suspect this would not be a fertile ground for unionization. I suspect if the Big Mac, Whopper etc., were doubled in price the public response would be to cut back on fast food. That would lead to fewer outlets and less jobs. But at least these are not jobs that can be outsourced overseas or replaced by robots (yet). Go Figure!” T.D.T

“Yes, minimum wage workers deserve to make more money at McDonald’s and everywhere. “I worked at Frisch’s in college and barely make $4 and hour many years ago. “This helps the social safety net to stop having to support poor families, and higher wages always boost the economy. “Unions make things better for the middle class even though conservatives ignorantly complain about pensions and costs. “Remember: most Americans have a five-day work week and several paid holidays because of the unions fighting the good fight for labor!” TRog

“No, not to $15 but it should be raised a couple of bucks. In real terms, the $7.25/hr. is less than when it was raised the last time. No one can live on that. “Also it is you and I, through the government, that is subsidizing these corporations, whether it be McDonalds or Wal-Mart, since so many of their employees qualify for SNAP and/or Medicaid. This is corporate welfare at its worst. “Business must provide a living wage. Does not mean that those on the bottom should earn the same as an ex-

NEXT QUESTION Should U.S. lawmakers and their staffs continue to receive a federal contribution toward the health insurance that they must purchase through soon-to-open exchanges created by President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law to prevent the largely unintended loss of healthcare benefits for 535 members of the Senate and House of Representatives and thousands of Capitol Hill staff.

ecutive, but it does mean that they should at least stop being exploited. “Lastly, the argument put forward by McDonalds and others that this is often entry level jobs for teens is lame. Most of the workers I see in the fast food industry are hard pressed former middle-class citizens who are trying to get by. Good luck.” J.Z.

“The wages people earn are determined by the value of their labor to the employer and the willingness of employees to work for what employers are willing to pay. “If there are enough people willing to work for $7.25, why should employers pay more? “If the government forces a doubling of the wage, the price everyone else will pay for the food will increase significantly. The sales of fast food will decline (may not be a bad thing), and the restaurants will employ fewer people. “Some of the best employees will make more money and a whole bunch will be out of a job.” F.S.D.

“Of course not. All that will do is increase inflation. When unions first came into the business world they served a purpose – to prevent employers from abusing employees. “Today, all unions do is make the unions richer while making companies raise their prices so they can turn a profit. Companies are in business to make money, not break even. “When the guy cutting grass at a GM plant is making $75/hr. something is wrong. One only has to look at Detroit to see what four decades of union and democratic policies can do to a once vibrant, growing city. “People need to be paid a living wage. $7.25/hr. is NOT a living wage. If you raise it to $15/hr and allow the unions in that $15/hr. will be about $8/hr. after union dues.” J.S.K.

“The minimum wage should not be linked to fast food workers. Doubling the minimum wage will result in the loss of jobs for many in that field or any other so affected by a doubling of wages.

“We have (or used to have) a freemarket economic system in America. That system determines the value for any goods or services. If McDonalds dramatically increases the cost of menu items to cover the wage increase; customers will find other businesses who can offer them meals for less. “In addition, the doubled wages will have a trickle-up effect, raising salaries for crew leaders and managers. Otherwise an entry-level worker would make more than the person training him. Such proposals usually come from people who have no experience in the real world of business or economics. “As to employees who wish to unionize there are laws, rules and regulations administered by the Department of Labor (DOL) to facilitate same.” R.V.

“Fast-food workers should be allowed to unionize and receive a decent living wage. “Who can live on $7.25/hour? I’m sure no one reading this paper does or could make it on that amount of money unless they are living with relatives and uses someone else’s car. “Businesses don’t want to pay a decent wage because it affects the profit. My heart aches to those stuck in a job that doesn’t pay enough to provide the necessities.” E.E.C.

July 31 question Should school districts adopt a policy to allow trained and qualified principals and other school officials to carry loaded handguns in schools like the Edgewood school district? Why or why not?

“Every school should have qualified and trained officials, volunteers and students allowed to carry concealed handguns. There are 'crazies,’ criminals, and terrorists in your neighborhood. Signs with ‘No concealed carry' posted at establishments are open invitations to criminals – because criminals do not like confrontations. For survival without guns – see www.5secondsurvival.com for typical attacks. Every important politician or person has armed security guard(s). If your children are important, they should have armed guards protecting them."

kmcbride@communitypress.com

summer enrichment program has brought six students together from two local high schools, and they’ve created a worthy opponent to a classic game. The students, recent graduates and rising seniors as Princeton and Lakota West high schools, are part of a program focused on engineering. Northrup Grumman’s WORTHY program, part of the High School Involvement Partnership (HIP), is designed to encourage high school students to pursue technical degrees and careers. It provides an environment where students can learn the fundamentals of engineering, then apply them in a way that stimulates creative thinking through problem solving. Princeton High School teacher Brian Lien has led students for the past two years in the program that includes an internship during the school year, and an opportunity to participate in the summer enrichment program. The students wanted a project that was interactive, to allow others to participate. “It’s a lot more exciting if people can participate in it,” said Sam Ficke, a Princeton High School graduate who will attend the University of Cincinnati in the fall, to study electrical engineering. They decided to ramp up a classic board game: checkers. The project incorporated STEM principles of science, technology, engineering and math. » Science: they learned about ferric chloride, used to dissolve toner to expose copper for the circuit board. » Technology: They used computer-aided-design, robotics, computer language to program the robot and circuit board, and woodworking to modify the board for the project. » Engineering: They built the robot and designed the checker board to accommodate the circuit board. » Math: Programming required inverse trigonometry. “We broke it down into three areas,” said Scott Kieback, a graduate of Lakota West High School and incoming freshman at the University of Illinois, where he will study chemical engineering. “The first was game logics, where you have to have a strategy built into the computer,”

Kieback said. “Then, the electronic part of the checkerboard, and how it was going to sense the activity. “Third is the movement of the robot.” They researched and built the project from scratch, learning how to make a circuit board using a heat press to transfer toner to a copper plate and customizing the checkerboard for the electronic enhancement. The robot was built and programmed to “look at” multiple previous moves and “decide” where to move its checker, then pick up the piece and place it on the corresponding square. The robot tracks the game’s movements, so it doesn’t need to recognize the colors of the checkers, the students explained. When the checker is moved to a square, its magnet closes to read the switch in the circuit board. The students said the project brought unexpected challenges. “When we were building the copper circuit boards, getting the print to transfer to the plate was hard,” Scheile Preston, a Princeton senior, said. “Because the magnet has to complete a circuit, we had to experiment with the thickness of the board, and adjust based on what we experimented with.” Matt Schaefer, a senior at Lakota West, tackled algorhithms. “The algorhithms were complicated, so we had to do a lot of research on efficiency based on memory, to generate the moves,” he said. “There’s a tradeoff between how fast it can play and how smart the robot is,” Kieback said. “It was a big learning experience.” Lien said the team will use about $1,800 of the $3,000 budget provided by Northrup Grumman for the summer enrichment project. The team, which also included Jasmine Davis, a Princeton senior; and Nick Perrin, who will study computer science and engineering at The Ohio State University in the fall, presented the project to engineers and management at Northrup Grumman in Springdale Aug. 1. Before that, they took the robot to Columbus, to participate in the Ohio State Fair July 31. The allowed the students to collect feedback from visitors, as well as practice for their presentation.

Library DVD offers help for stuttering Available in English, Spanish Parents eagerly anticipate the moment when their child first begins to talk. For some parents, it is a time of anxiety because their child struggles to get words out. As many as 5 percent of preschool children nationwide have repetitions and prolongations of sounds severe enough to be of concern to their parents. The DVD in English and Spanish, “Stuttering and Your Child: Help for Parents”, helps parents detect stuttering and take action toward helping their child and is available at most public libraries. Some libraries have an older video format. Produced by the nonprofit

Stuttering Foundation, the film describes what kinds of stuttering young children may exhibit, how parents can help at home, and the role of a speech pathologist in evaluating and treating children who stutter. “Stuttering typically begins between the ages of 2 and 5,” says Barry Guitar, professor and chair of Communication Sciences at the University of Vermont in Burlington. “It may begin gradually or suddenly, and many of these children outgrow their disfluencies naturally. However, if a child continues to stutter for several months, or appears to be frustrated by it, parents should seek assistance.” Guitar appears in the DVD with other nationally recognized experts in stuttering: Pe-

ter Ramig of the University of Colorado at Boulder, Diane Hill of Northwestern University, Patricia Zebrowski of the University of Iowa, and Kristin Chmela, also of Northwestern University. These experts address common concerns that parents have about their child, such as how to help the child at home and whether to seek the advice of a speech pathologist. Strategies parents can use to help reduce stuttering are given throughout the DVD and include reducing the number of questions they ask the child, focusing on taking turns during conversations, and making time to read or talk with the child in a relaxed manner. “Parents are relieved to discover that they are not alone and that other parents

share their concerns,” Chmela said. “Stuttering remains a mystery to most people,” said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. “Watching a young child struggle to speak can be devastating. This DVD is designed to reassure parents and families that many preschoolers stutter, that they can be helped, and how parents can play a vital role in this process.” Books and DVDs produced by the 66-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. A library that will shelve them can contact the Foundation at 1-800-992-9392, e-mail info@stutteringhelp.org, or visit www.stutteringhelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.

Think twice about buying at your door We’ve all experience it; someone comes to your front door trying to sell you something. But is it a good idea to buy from a door-to-door salesman?
