District is awarded for energy efficiency

By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Saving energy will likely be a benefit to Indian Hill Exempted Village School District in the future. However, it has had a short-term benefit as well.

During the February Board of Education meeting, representatives from the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance awarded the district with a check for $200,000. This grant money was provided for the district’s energy savings initiatives.

“Tonight is the culmination of over a year’s work to replace a number of pieces of end-oflife (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment with new, highly energy efficient ones,” said Board President Karl Grafe via email.

“This is clearly a win for the district, the energy efficiency will provide incremental savings to us for years to come.”

Last March the school

board approved bids to replace three air handler units at the middle school, a boiler at the primary school and rooftop piping at the middle school.

According to Treasurer Julia Toth, the total cost for buying and installing the air handler units was $473,625 while the cost for the boiler was $167,000.

The rooftop piping project cost $882,699.

The projects were completed in the summer and fall and covered by the district’s capital improvement budget as well as the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance grant.

Toth said $200,000 is the maximum amount the Alliance awards. “We were very pleased they were able to fund us at their maximum level,” said Toth.

An estimated $1.4 million of taxpayers’ money will be used to improve heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment in the buildings by the end of the 2012-2013 school year.

New weather station is a boon to Indian Hill students

By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Some Indian Hill High School science students have gone beyond just talking about the weather.

They are immersing themselves in it.

The school recently received an actual weather station which was installed on a pavilion on school grounds.

Advanced Placement environmental science teacher Steve Meyers has begun using the station in his class. “(It) provides us with detailed local weather information that the students can use to compare and contrast weather components,” he said.

The station provides a myriad of data on weather conditions ranging from barometric pressure and precipitation levels to humidity and wind speed.

“It’s a good tool to learn about the different climates and weather,” said junior Lydia Grote, of Kenwood.

Grote said the students have been involved in a

volved in helping obtain funds for the weather station through the Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation. Lori Klinedinst is executive director of the foundation.

The weather station cost about $1,600.

Meyers said he hopes the students use the station for individual study.

“They can delve into (weather) on a daily basis above and beyond the class,” he said.

Connor Klinedinst said she already enjoys the opportunities provided by access to the station.

She said the school’s weather station is used in conjunction with other resources such as stream gauges and solar panels that are operated by other groups.

With all of this information the students can get a broad overview of weather conditions not only locally but nationally.

Junior Connor Klinedinst, of Indian Hill, said the class was able to closely study barometric pressures connected to Hurricane Sandy in October.

Students to compete for prestigious honor

By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Two Cincinnati Country Day School seniors may be awarded a prestigious honor.

Both Holly Dayton, of Terrace Park, and Katie Karnes, of Mariemont, are candidates for the United States Presidential Scholars Program.

They were among approximately 40 candidates chosen in Ohio.

High school students are selected based on exceptionally high SAT or ACT scores, said Sarah Beyreis, director of college counseling.

Both Dayton and Karnes will proceed with an application process that includes essay writing and submission of other information which will then be be judged by a review committee.

At the end of the process, 121 finalists are selected to be a Presidential Scholar.

Dayton, who scored 2,380 out of 2,400 on the SAT, said she was initially suspicious when she received a letter saying she had been selected as a candidate.

However, after determining it was valid, she said she was excited by the opportunity. “It’s unexpected, but I think I can hold my own,” she said.

Dayton said one of the essays the candidates have to submit details what is important to them.

She said she chose a piano in her living room.

She said she doesn’t play the piano, but her brother does, and he is a composer.

Karnes was initially unaware of the how significant the scholarship was.

“My mom knew about it and was excited,” she said. “I wasn’t thinking I’d get anything from an SAT score.”

Karnes scored 2,340 out of 2,400 on the SAT. Karnes said her family is thrilled. “My parents

Kenwood Towne Place signs in question

By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

Developers for Kenwood Towne Place are looking to rebrand the building, beginning with attracting tenants.

Phillips Edison and Co., the owner and developer, wants to hang signs at multiple locations on the unfinished structure,

as well as at some entrances.

Two sets of four signs were proposed to face Interstate 71 with that information, as well as two taller signs at the entrances and above retail spaces.

Trustee Cliff Bishop said that the number of signs might be too many, at least until the compa-

ny begins to enclose the building. Currently, internal work is being done, and external construction is likely to begin in June.

Although Trustee Tom Weidman said they want the building, which will be renamed later, to be leased, the number of signs proposed is overdoing it.

Finalists are invited to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with government officials, educators and other professionals as well as attend various recitals and receptions.

Moeller awards highest honor

By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

Archbishop Moeller High School awarded its highest honor to two members of its faculty, the Founder’s Day award. Rick Bohne, religion department chair and Pleasant Ridge resident, and Brian Gilronan, pastoral ministry service coordinator who lives in Clifton, are this year’s winners.

Bohne, who has been at Moeller since 1985 and has been department chair since 1994, teaches religion classes and coaches the varsity golf team. The team cooks meals for families at The Ronald McDonald House and helps serve Thanksgiving dinner to residents at Meadowbrook Care Center some years.

Gilronan, working also with a Moeller student volunteer,

leads the school’s annual Christmas on Campus event for Corryville Catholic students. The Corryville LittleBuddies/Mentoring program that Moeller students participate in includes the Big Brother mentoring program, the Little Buddies tutoring program and Christmas on Campus.

That event involves a Mass, luncheon, games and visit with Santa Claus, where each student receives a gift chosen for each child. As part of his leadership with Moeller students, they won the 2012 Champions for Children: The Next Generation award.

Both Bohne and Gilronan responded to three questions about winning the award, and their times at Moeller.

1. What does it mean to you to be awarded Moeller’s highest honor?

Bohne: It is very humbling to be honored with The Founder's Day Award. To think of past recipients, it is quite an honor to be associated with those individuals. Yet to think of those who have not received it, but are also deserving of the honor makes it quite humbling.

It is special to me since I have been influenced by the Marianists for 40 years, beginning as a student at the University of Dayton. The Marianists have had a major influence on my life and to be honored by them is special.

Gilronan: It means the world to me to be chosen for the Founder’s Day Award. I feel that this award goes towards all those people who have made the Pastoral Ministry department the great place that it is today.

What has been your proud-

Ursuline students win 36 art awards Thirty-six individual awards have been earned by 23 Ursuline students in the The Scholastic Art Awards.

The students submitted a sampling of their work completed in visual arts courses during the last calendar year.

Their pieces were entered in categories that included sculpture, drawing, printmaking and photography.

The students were recognized with an honorable mention (works demonstrating artistic potential), silver key (works worthy of recognition on the regional level) or gold key (the highest level of achievement on the regional level); gold key works are forwarded to New York City for national adjudication.

Students who received all of these distinctions were invited to show their work at the Scholastics Gallery at 100 W. RiverCenter Blvd., Covington. The show will run from Feb. 8-22, and students in the show will be honored at an awards ceremony Feb. 22 at the Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The Gold Key Award winners are: Ashley Albrinck of Evendale and Ashley Driscoll of Loveland (three awards); Cate Brinker of Anderson Township, Maddie Graumlich of Terrace Park and Tori Heyob of Green Township.

Pan of Evendale (three awards), Molly Paz of Felicity, Spencer Peppet of Terrace Park, Julia Proctor of Loveland, Kelly Spiller of Liberty Township and Jenny Whang of Sycamore Township.

“The Scholastic Art Award recognition is significant to each student because their creativity is recognized in the context of a prestigious regional/ national awards program that is actually celebrating its 90th anniversary this year.

“We are very proud of our students’ outstanding accomplishments and dedication to the arts.

“This broader affirmation will only bolster greater creative energy and enthusiasm,” fine arts department coordinator Patrice Trauth said.

est accomplishment to date?

Bohne: The greatest accomplishment is not something that I have done but what I am permitted to do and that is to teach at Moeller High School.

It is truly a blessing to be part of a school that is as special as Moeller. The faculty, staff students and parents are truly one large family. I can't imagine teaching anywhere else. It is nice to know that my efforts have been appreciated by others.

Gilronan: I have had many proud moments at Moeller seeing our students get involved with the local community to help with programs, ranging to tutoring children to rehabbing houses in Over-the-Rhine and everything in between. I am especially proud that our students were awarded the 4C Champions for Children annu-

al award this year for the Corryville Catholic Little Buddies program.

What’s next for you and your department?

Bohne: We just want to continue to find ways to help our students find Christ in their lives and develop a relationship with our Lord. We have a very talented group of teachers in the religion department who are dedicated to helping students see the value of faith in their lives. We try to connect the value of faith with their everyday life and decisions.

Gilronan: I plan on continuing to serve Moeller and pastoral ministry for as long as I am able. We are always looking to make improvements and expand our programming.

Both Bohne and Gilronan received their awards at an allschool Mass Jan. 17.

Successful weekend for IH swimmers

By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

INDIAN HILL — Tom McGowan capped off his first season as Indian Hill High School’s swim coach by seeing his girls team finish third in the state at the Division II meet in Canton Feb. 22.

The Lady Braves finished14 points higher than last year finishing only behind powerhouses Dayton Oakwood and Gates Mills Hawken.

“To finish third with only seven team members is a pretty good accomplishment,” McGowan said. “Going in, we thought we’d have a shot. If things went really we could have had second, but I’m satisfied with third. From a depth perspective, we just don’t have the numbers.”

Led by seniors Alexandra “Xanna” Tracy and Rachel McGoff, Indian Hill was able to finish second in the 200 freestyle relay and third in the 400 freestyle relay.

The 200 free relay team, which included Elizabeth Drerup and Devin Landstra, actually set a new OHSAA record in the prelims at 1:35.84. Unfortunately, Gates Mills Hawken broke it the next day when Indian Hill finished second in the final.

Both Indian Hill seniors broke team records over the weekend.

“Xanna broke her 50 free record in the prelims,” McGowan said. “Rachel broke the team record in the 100 freestyle and finished sixth.

They’ll be missed. We put them on the front and back of our freestyle relays.”

Other highlights for Indian Hill’s girls were the performances of freshmen Drerup and Landstra. Drerup took fourth in the100 backstroke and

was 11th in the 50 freestyle. Landstra was seventh in the 50 free and 13th in the 100 backstroke.

“Devin (Landstra) swam her best time in the 100 back and was a big contributor on the 200 and 400 free relays,” McGowan said. “With those two girls we are in really good shape. We also have sophomore Grace Stimson who swam breaststroke on the medley relay and some other young kids that will qualify for state next year who didn’t this year.”

Other notable finishes included Tracy’s thirdplaces in the 50 free and 100 back; McGoff’s ninth in the 200 IM; and the eighth-place 200 medley relay of Drerup, Delaney Smith, Stimson and Sarah Vester.

In diving, Indian Hill’s Cassie Wegryn was ninth, with teammate Katherine Arnold 12th.

Indian Hill’s boys had one individual finalist in junior Noah Brackenbury who was 10th in the 100 breaststroke. He also was part of the Braves’ sixth-place 200 medley relay team along with Will and Jack Dowling and Sam Vester.

The Braves youth should give away to experience and veteran leadership. Next season, Sam Vester will be a junior in his third year of varsity swimming.

“He’s dropping times,” McGowan said. “I would imagine he would be a force to be reckoned with.”

Will Dowling will be a 2014 senior like Brackenbury and his brother Jack will be a junior.

“We definitely could use more boys,” McGowan said. “To be able to field three full relays was a challenge. We really are in need of some boys to come out for the team and swim for us.”

KENWOOD — Unlike most schools, it takes more than one vehicle to transport Moeller High School’s state qualifying wrestlers to Columbus each year.

Their high has been 11, seven advanced last year and this meet featured nine of the “Mighty Men” wrestling in the Schottenstein Center.

Four Crusaders came to Columbus as district champions: Sophomore Conner Ziegler at 113 pounds, senior Andrew Mendel at 132, junior Jerry Thornberry at 195 and junior Chalmer Frueauf at 220. Also getting the chance to head north were freshman Jacoby Ward at 120, sophomore Connor Borton at 126, senior Wyatt Wilson at 152, junior Dakota Sizemore at 160 and junior Quinton Rosser at 182.

“We definitely have a good mix,” Gaier said.

It’s tough to predict the outcome of a competition featuring the best of the best, but Gaier felt heading into March that 220-pound Chalmer Frueauf had the best path to a state crown. As a freshman and sophomore, Frueauf took fourth place.

“He’s been dominant this

year,” Gaier said.

Coming into the Columbus 32-1, Frueauf lived up to his billing. The one known as “Baby Fruey” dispatched opponents from Shaker Heights, Brecksville-Broadview Heights, Painesville Riverside and Maple Heights to bring home the hardware.

Frueauf won his final over Devin Revels 12-3.

Moeller’s first title of the night came earlier courtesy of 160-pounder Dakota Sizemore. He defeated opponents from Amherst Steele, Massillon Perry, Oregon Clay and Brecksville-Broadview Heights’ Quinton Hiles 9-3.

Quinton Rosser was in the 182-pound weight class with his friend from Loveland, Gunner Lay. The two competitors went to overtime in the semifinals with Rosser prevailing 11-9.

“He has a style where all of his matches are close,” Gaier said. “He’s such a hard worker and he’s in great shape.”

In his title match, Rosser lost to three-time state champion Domenic Abounader of Lakewood St. Edward 13-6 to take second.

Showcase begins March 25

By Scott Springer

CINCINNATI — At the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum Feb. 19, the Cincinnati Reds and In-Game Sports announced the 64team field for the secondannual Reds Futures High School Showcase.

The event begins March 25 and runs through April 15 featuring teams from southeastern Indiana, northern Kentucky and southwestern Ohio. The event culminates with all 64 teams in a “March at the Majors” parade before the Reds/Marlins game April 21.

In a year’s time, the prep showcase has grown dramatically, according to Tom Gamble of InGame Sports.

“Last year we had 25 games involving 50 schools,” he said. “This year, 32 games involving 64 schools and 20 of the schools are new.”

Games are slated to be played at Northern Kentucky University, Xavier, UC, Prasco Park, Western Hills and Reds Community Fund fields in Batavia, Winton Terrace and Roselawn.

The marriage with the Reds is perfect as everyone in the Tristate always looks fondly upon their alma mater and anything involving the wishbone C. “If you are from Cincinnati, you’re always talking about what high school you went to,” Reds

Vice President and Princeton High graduate Karen Forgus said.

“That’s just how we are around here.”

Reds COO and distinguished Summit Country Day alum Phil Castellini also voiced his support.

“This is important in developing future Reds players and future Reds fans,” Castellini said.

“We’re proud to be associated with this. We’re going to continue this and hopefully it gets stronger and stronger each year.”

Among the participants, Division I Ohio champion Moeller will take on La Salle at Prasco Park April 11.

“It’s an honor that the Reds would jump on board and sponsor this and bring that notoriety back to the high school game,” Crusaders coach Tim Held said.

Northern Kentucky has numerous representatives playing at NKU, including Newport Central Catholic and Covington Catholic on March 28.

“I told them one of the things they get to do is go to the Reds game against the Marlins and be down on the field before the game,” Newport Catholic Coach Jeff Schulkens said. “They’re real fired up about the opportuni-

Likewise, Coach Chris Fiehrer’s Wyoming Cowboys are happy a 2012 postseason run got them invited to the spring affair. Wyoming will play at Western Hills April 2.

“All of the kids returning are really excited to get going,” he said.

“They’re also excited to go down on the field in the parade.”

Tickets for the Reds Futures Showcase games are $5 and good for all games that day. Each ticket also comes with a voucher good for a free View Level ticket to select Reds regular season games at Great American Ballpark and a coupon for a free Skyline Chili cheese coney.

Tickets will be available at the participating schools and on game days at the host facilities.

less to physical technique and more toward mental capacity.

“A lot of good kids don’t reach their potential because they get a little too worked up over this week,” Gaier said. “The goal is get their minds right and get them relaxed to where they’re not over-analyzing things.”

At 113 pounds, sophomore Conner Ziegler was in a competitive bracket, but was back for a second year as a state qualifier.

Ziegler took sixth place.

At 132 pounds, senior Andrew Mendel was also a sixth-place contestant in his final trip to Columbus. At 120 pounds, freshman Jacoby Ward took eighth place in his first varsity year, just as his

older brother, Joey, did in 2009 (then for Goshen).

Junior Jerry Thornberry also had an eighth-place finish at 195 on the podium.

“He didn’t make it last year and I think that was a good motivator for him,” Gaier said.

In the end, the spectacle of the state wrestling meet never gets old to Gaier, despite multiple trips for all of the pomp and circumstance.

“It’s the best time of the year,” he said. “It’s a reward for the kids and their hard work.”

A new Enquirer is coming March 11 Our sister publication is changing Monday.

The Cincinnati Enquirer – like us owned by Gannett Co. Inc. – is changing the size of its publication March 11. It will be one of the first newspapers in the country to be printed in its new, easy-to-hold, easy-to-read size.

The new Enquirer will have more and vibrant color, and bolder headlines – the smaller page size allows photos and graphics to have more punch.

And you won’t have to turn the page to follow stories as often – fewer stories will “jump” from one page to another page.

The news Marc Emral will be the EDITOR’S same – the NOTEBOOK stories will have in-depth reporting, the same coverage the Enquirer has been providing for more than 170 years.

Everyone who subscribes to the Sunday edition of The Cincinnati Enquirer will also receive the Monday, March 11, issue free to see the new format. And we will be handing out free newspapers throughout the area that day as a way for you to experience the new way to read The Enquirer.

That Monday issue will include a guide to the new Enquirer and an introduction to the Enquirer Media journalists who work to bring you your newspaper each day.

This new size newspaper will be something you most likely have never seen before. It’s not a tabloid, and it is not a broadsheet-sized newspaper.

It is not even the same size as your Community Press. It is small enough that it is easy to carry around, easy to spread out at your breakfast table and easy to read while sitting at your desk or at home in your recliner.

And when you read the new Enquirer, you’ll find all of the coverage you need. Included will be coverage of regional governments; the growing arts scene throughout the area; and of course complete coverage of the Cincinnati Reds as they try to repeat as Central Division champions.

If you don’t subscribe, why not give it a try. By subscribing, you can read the Enquirer many ways – in print, on your computer, tablet or phone.

And don’t forget to read your Community Press every week.

You’ll still find all the community news you need, including what is happening in your schools and your local government.

Income tax’s 100th birthday – complexity has not brought equity March 1 marked the 100th birthday of the federal income tax.

Over the past century the income tax has drastically changed, becoming more complex as the tax legislation grew from 15 pages to over 73,000, the tax return from four pages to more than 180, and top tax rates from 7 percent up to 94 percent then back down to 39.6 percent.

Has all this complexity helped distribute the tax burden more equitably among Americans?

Not necessarily. A special report published by the Tax Foundation in July 2012 produced some intriguing statistics addressing the tax equity issue.

The federal government has most heavily taxed the highest earners since the beginning of the income tax. In the early years, less than 1 percent of the population carried the entire tax burden, but 75 percent of Americans began paying taxes with the start of World War II. Today, the top 1 percent income

group pays almost 40 percent of all income taxes, while about 50 percent of Americans pay no income tax.

Elizabeth Although Mangels COMMUNITY PRESS this framework has GUEST COLUMNIST worked in the past, further narrowing the tax base by increasing rates on the wealthy will not support the government’s financial stability in the current economy. Approximately half of Americans are not held accountable for the basic costs of government. With these cost continuing to increase as the government grows, foundational reforms in the tax system must occur.

What is the most equitable way to raise this money?

Each individual receives some benefit from the federal government, whether military protection, education, retirement, health care, infrastruc-

ture or a stable currency.

However, only 50 peecent of the population pays the income taxes to fund these programs. Effectively half of Americans receive these benefits for free as income is redistributed from high earners to low earners.

According to the Tax Foundation, the number of households who file income tax returns with no tax liability has increased 20 percent over the past two decades. The level at which the typical married couple with two children will pay zero income tax has reached $47,000.

The income tax is highly progressive and millions of non-taxpayers receive enough cash back through refundable income tax credits to offset their other forms of taxes.

Thus, instead of increasing taxes on individuals that already pay for government benefits, the tax system must change so that every adult pays a minimum amount for the benefits they receive.

This minimum tax need not

be huge, just large enough to ensure that everyone is paying a more equitable share of the tax burden. With 58 million income tax filers having zero tax liability, a $10 per month minimum tax would raise over $6.96 billion in revenue each year.

All Americans receive benefits from the federal government. Holding every adult accountable for funding these benefits instills a sense of ownership and investment that promotes a more efficient use of redistributed resources.

Benjamin Franklin recognized death and taxes as the only certainties in life. Amidst the birthday festivities, the century old income tax could certainly use a structural transformation.

Elizabeth Mangels is a senior honors accounting student at The Ohio State University from Loveland. She has learned about the federal income tax as a summer tax intern and through related coursework and case studies.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question Do you think the U.S. Supreme Court should decide to eliminate the $123,200 political contribution cap placed on an individual donor during an election cycle? Why or why not?

“I don't know why it matters. Politicians at the federal and state level (and perhaps even lower) only care about wealthy folks and lobbyists for large corporations, for large nonprofits like hospitals and universities, and for unions anyway.

“They use that money every few years to try to get re-elected and then give the average Joe and Joanne lip service to trick them into getting their vote. Sorry to be so cynical, but that is the way it is.”

T.H.

“Oh yeah, we can never have enough money in politics.

Let's just add some more dollars to the glutted pocketbooks of our politicians.

“A pox upon us if we allow

the lobby's trough (from which Congress sups) to run dry.”

M.E.

“Yes. I think they should cap it at $123,300.”

J.G.

“No, I don't think they should. Ever since the Citizen's United decision, which allows corporations to be considered people, and opened the flood gates to massive campaign contributions it seems silly to try and limit actual individual people to some arbitrary limit.

“Also I've been fortunate

that growing up in Indian Hill we've always had the resources to max out our contributions.

“A way around the individual donation limit is to just make contributions in various family members names, such as wife, children, etc.

“There is always a way to game the system and make sure that you get the politicians in office that will do the most for the money.”

I.P.

“No. There is a reason for that cap. There are quite few people in this country to whom $123,000 is not a lot of money, and they are willing to invest it into an aspiring politician in order to win his support in the future, should the person need help from the government. It is very close to bribery.

“I do not want to be governed by someone who is in office primarily because some extremely wealthy people supported them for their own ends.”

Bill B.

“Absolutely not – better reduce it to $123! Democracy is supposed to be one man (person) one vote. It is not supposed to be 'He who has the most money has the most influence.’ Anything that takes money out of politics is good.”

D.R.

“The fact that Congress and a President enacted a law with a limit suggests their desire to prevent the wealthy from determining an election or worse, buying one.

“But if that's the case, why cap it at a figure 99 percent of Americans could never consider?

“Why not set it at $10,000 and really level the playing field? As to the Supreme Court taking action, “I believe the purpose for a cap is a legitimate concern and to affirm a lower cap is in the public's best interest.”

Recipes take advantage of maple season chunk up later. Bake 30-35 minutes. Let cool and break into chunks. I use an offset spatula.

This granola also makes a delicious cereal, no sugar needed!

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

You can use any combo of seeds, even all sunflower. Millet gives a delicious crunch and contains protein and iron.

Chia, like flax, is a great source of Omega 3s, but doesn’t have to be ground to get the benefit. It also absorbs a lot of water and curbs the appetite.

Hemp is not what you think, it comes from a completely different plant. Huge amounts of Omega 3s and protein there, too.

Rita says this maple granola recipe is her chunkiest yet. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

since so many ingredients are mentioned in the Bible. This is my chunkiest yet – really good chunks but remember, you will always have some flaking. Be careful when breaking apart.

Step by step photos are on my blog at Cincinnati.Com/blogs.

Mix together: 4 cups old fashioned oats 11⁄2cups sliced almonds or

favorite nuts 1 cup mixed seeds: your choice of sesame, flax, millet, chia, hemp or sunflower seeds (see Rita’s tip)

My friend Laura Noe and I were chatting a couple of weeks ago. She and husband Oakley were having their maple trees tapped for the annual pancake breakfast at Pattison Park here in Clermont County.

Rita Laura Heikenfeld had me so RITA’S KITCHEN enthused about tapping maple trees that I’m determined next year to tap ours. Actually, we did tap our trees when my boys were little, but had no idea just how to go about it and I recall we got so little sap that we just stuck our fingers in it and tasted it raw.

Tapping maple trees is an ancient art. Laura told me tapping should be done in mid to late winter – nights in the 20s and days sunny and in the 40s – so it’s a timely venture.

Our Tristate park districts hold lots of fun maple syrup events for the family, so I hope you take advantage.

The recipes requested for this week fell into tune, as well. I had requests for “a different salad dressing for Easter that’s not too heavy” and a request for “one more recipe for chunky granola.” I’ve shared my original recipe for chunky granola before but have an even chunkier one today.

Weiss will retain her current position as executive director of CHHE, splitting her time evenly between the two organizations. In September 2011, as part of an ongoing collaboration between the two organizations, Weiss was brought on as interim consulting director of the JCRC while the search for a permanent director continued. In the ensuing year and a half, the success of the partnership became evident, and the boards of the two organizations decided to offer Weiss a permanent position.

are extremely pleased that the JCRC will continue to benefit from her many talWeiss ents and the depth of her experience.”

In her interim position, Weiss spent 20 percent of her time at the JCRC and the remaining 80 percent at CHHE. To accommodate the move to a 50/50 arrangement, CHHE’s staff will be reorganized and an additional employee hired.

“With our mission so complementary to the JCRC’s, we saw it as a natural fit for Sarah’s skills to be spread over both organizations,” CHHE President John Neyer said. “We came up with an arrangement that makes both organizations stronger. This isn’t a ‘1 plus 1 equals 3’ situation; it’s even better. It’s ‘1 divided by 2 equals 4 or more.’ That’s the new math in high-functioning not-for-profits.”

The JCRC and CHHE – while distinct organizations with separate boards – share overlapping missions, values and goals. (In fact, in many communities, the two organizations have a formal structural connection.)

This continued close relationship between the two will encourage streamlined information sharing and more robust pro-

gramming for the community.

Jewish Federation of Cincinnati CEO Shep Englander said, “This collaboration makes sense for everyone. In addition to creating efficiency and better results for both organizations, it will also strengthen the community as a whole.”

Weiss has worked at CHHE since 2004, when she started as a program manager. After guiding CHHE through its transition into a successful, independent 501(c)(3) organization in 2007, she became executive director.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing and international business from the University of Cincinnati, is a graduate of the “Teaching the Holocaust and Antisemitism” course at the esteemed Yad Vashem International School for Holocaust Studies and was named a Lerner Fellow, after participating in an advanced course sponsored by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous at Columbia University.

Weiss is the 2007 recipient of the Public Allies “Changemaker” award, the 2011 Weston “Avodah” award presented by the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and the YWCA’s Rising Star award. She serves on the Bridges for a Just Community board and the Cincinnati Human Relations Commission and was previously a member of the Jewish Vocational Service board.

Cincinnati disabilities film festival at JCC Founded in 2007 in New York, ReelAbilities is the largest national film festival dedicated to sharing the stories, lives and art of people with disabilities.

At 1 p.m. Sunday, March 10, the Mayerson JCC, 8485 Ridge Road, Amberley Village, will present “Body and Soul,” an uplifting documentary following three young Mozambicans with physical disabilities, who work to help others in their community. Their daily lives reveal how they see themselves, raising questions of self-acceptance and how to find one’s place in society.

Immediately following the showing of “Body and Soul,” a discussion will take place to broaden themes raised by the film.

April Kerley, paralympian; Jill Gibboney, Cincinnati-based entrepreneur, and Katie Bachmeyer, Starfire Council, will lead the panel discussion.

In conjunction with the film festival, a local public service announcement campaign featuring the festival’s theme, “Different, Like You” includes videos and print advertisements where local celebrities and non-celebrities alike talk about what makes them “different.”

Cincinnati Pops conductor John Morris Russell shares that he is color blind. Local actor and dou-

ble-amputee John Lawson points out that he is also a pilot. Others share unique quirks and traits that they embrace.

It is hoped that this campaign will help promote the unifying element of the festival– reminding us that we are all different, and can embrace our uniqueness.

The proceeds from the week-long festival will benefit several local nonprofit agencies that serve people with disabilities, including: LADD, Visionaries and Voices, the Autism Society, Starfire Council of Greater Cincinnati, Paralyzed Veterans Racing, Greater Cincinnati Down Syndrome Association, and Hamilton County Developmental Disability Services, among others.

Hosted by local agencies, Visionaries and Voices and LADD, this national film festival will be held in theatres and locations across Greater Cincinnati including Mayerson JCC, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the Esquire and Kenwood Theatres. More than 17 screening events take place in Cincinnati throughout the festival.

Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the door or in advance at www.cincyra.org.

Volunteers support community campaign People from across the region gathered to kick off the ArtsWave Residential Division volunteer effort to support the community campaign for the arts at an afternoon workshop and celebration at Kennedy Heights Arts Center.

Volunteers are integral to the success of ArtsWave and the local arts community. ArtsWave offers a number of opportunities to people who want to volunteer for the arts – theatre, dance, music, museums and galleries that make the community a great place to live, work, play and stay.

This month, volunteers from across the region started working on ArtsWave’s 2012 Community Campaign, gathering with ArtsWave leadership for a discussion of the organization’s mission, which celebrates the arts’ ability to connect people and create vibrant neighborhoods.

The volunteers met at Kennedy Heights Arts Center, a community arts center that enhances the life of the surrounding community through arts and cultural experiences that embrace diversity, foster creativity and build community.

Kennedy Heights Arts Center Executive Director, Ellen Muse-Lindeman, led the group in an arts engagement activity followed by a brief workshop. Volunteers listened to words of encouragement from Residential Division Chair, Sheryl Beyersdorfer, of Indian Hill, and were introduced to the new ArtsWave

Woman’s club gives scholarships to eight The Cincinnati Woman’s Club (CWC) continues its tradition of awarding annual scholarships to talented university students.

The Club, which was founded in 1894, began awarding scholarships in 1927. The first recipient was a male high school student who was the son of a widowed mother with four younger sisters.

The Club funded his education through his graduation from Ohio State University in 1932, then began funding one of his sister’s education. The young man, Richard Taylor, earned a doctorate, became a lecturer and president of the Metallurgical Society, and received many honors during his career.

Taylor also became a scuba diver and airplane pilot. Together with his sister, a Cincinnati Woman’s Club scholarship recipient who became a social worker, they carefully advanced the educations of their three younger sisters, who all earned college degrees.

Taylor visited the Club and expressed his gratitude when the Cincinnati Woman’s Club celebrated 100 years of philanthropy in 1993.

Through the generous contributions of its members, The Cincinnati Woman’s Club has funded scholarships for women ever since these first two successful young scholars. Recipients must be full-time students and maintain a 3.5 or greater grade point average.

The women receive the scholarship annually until graduation if they continue to meet these criteria.

They are honored at a luncheon in November, Philanthropy Month, when each presents a re-

Indian Hill doctor honored by governor

Ohio Gov. John Kasich presents the Asian Indian Alliance Ohio Leadership Award to Dr. Pramod Reddy during a ceremony in Columbus. THANKS TO JAGDISH BHATI

Ohio Gov. John Kasich recently presented the Asian Indian Alliance Ohio Leadership Award to Indian Hill resident Dr. Pramod Reddy. The presentation took place in Columbus, Ohio, at an event celebrating the Indian holiday of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights.

The Ohio Leadership Award, given annually by the Asian Indian Alliance, is presented to Asian Indian Americans in recognition of their professional achievements and outstanding service to the communi-

ty.

Upon accepting the award, Reddy said, “Service to others is the highest calling for me, and it is a true honor to be recognized by the AIA and Gov. Kasich today.”

Reddy is the director of the Division of Pediatric Urology and a professor of clinical surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

He has developed specialized expertise and focus in the management of complex congenital urological conditions, minimally invasive surgical techniques and fetal urol-

ogy.

In addition to being the first recipient of the Curtis Sheldon/Jeffrey Wacksman Chair in Pediatric Urology, Reddy has received multiple honors and awards in his field including designations as both a Pfizer Urological scholar and an American Urological Association (AUA) Scholar.

He has authored more than 65 peer-reviewed publications and eight chapters in Urological textbooks.

Recently, Reddy was also recognized for his humanitarian activities,

including providing surgical treatment for children in India and Israel and providing education to physicians in these countries about state of the art surgical techniques.

Reddy and his wife, Dr. Usha, and three children Trisha, Marisa and Sara live in Indian Hill.

Established in 1990, the Asian Indian Alliance (AIA) is a non-partisan organization promoting a strong platform for active political, social and economic participation of Asian Indian Americans in Ohio.

Cincinnati Woman's Club members Jane Tuten, past president of Cincinnati Woman's Club and Montgomery resident; Linda Siekmann, Indian Hill resident; Mary Bramlage, Indian Hill resident; and Trish Bryan, Indian Hill resident, help serve hors d'oeuvres before dinner and the presentation by Louis Langree at the Cincinnati Woman's Club.
