Paid bus service failed to pick up some Oak Hills kids Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A private bus company that provides transportation for some Oak Hills Local School District students is fixing issues that resulted in some students not getting service for first day of school.

Decorative Arts Society presents lectures, tours Laura A. Hobson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Interested in learning more about decorative arts including furnishings, furniture, carpets, weavings and pottery as well as enjoying camaraderie? Look no further than the Decorative Arts Society of Cincinnati headquartered at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Founded decades ago by passionate collectors, the society presents its 2018-2019 season. Its intent is to bring scholars in decorative arts with national reputations to share their expertise. DASC offers members and the public a mix of lectures, historic house tours, museum field trips, visits to private collections and meals within a 150-mile radius of Cincinnati from August through May. President Ed Loyd said, “DASC provides a forum for developing connoisseurship and lifelong friendships.” To kick off the season, DASC presented a tour of six local churches on Aug. 11. Attendees took a walking tour of a rich array of Protestant churches with remarkable architecture, important stained glass windows including Tiffany and LaFarge, and decor featuring Cincinnati art-carved furnishings and works of art. Next on the schedule is a lecture called “A Vision of Place” given by William P. Curtis of Curtis & Windham Architects of Houston at 2 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Fath Auditorium at the Cincinnati Art Museum. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. On Oct. 14, DASC offers a bus trip to West Liberty and Sidney, Ohio, to visit two Piatt castles and People’s Federal Savings & Loan designed by Louis H. Sullivan. Sullivan (1856-1924) was a noted architect from Chicago often called the "Father of Modernism." Frank Lloyd Wright served as a key architect on his staff before starting his own firm.
