BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Dual-purpose levy being sought by Wyoming school district Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
THE ENQUIRER/HANNAH SPARLING
Superintendent Mary Ronan takes questions about Cincinnati Public Schools’ expansion plans.
BROKEN FORMULA: Schools make changes. Public reacts. No one is happy.
Hannah Sparling hsparling@enquirer.com and Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
The way Rick Blessing sees it, parents like him are important when they’re writing tuition checks. They’re important on Sundays when the offering plates pass by or when it’s time for a school fundraiser. “We are not important,” he said, “when it comes to having our questions answered or making decisions or having those decisions communicated to us. And that is frustrating.” Blessing is mad about a recently announced merger between Mother of Mercy and McAuley high schools on Cincinnati’s West Side, but his complaints about timing and communication echo those of other parents at other schools, mad about other decisions. Communication among schools and those they serve is a big deal in Cincinnati. Or, some would say, a big mess. You might remember when Cincinnati Public Schools kicked out top leaders at the School for Creative and Performing Arts. Or when CPS switched to an online lottery for seats at magnet schools, axing the traditional campout system. Or when La Salle High School pushed out then-Principal Tom Luebbe. That all happened in the course of 13 months. Over and over, it’s the same story: School leaders announce a change, and there’s an outcry from parents and com-

TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

munity members, asking why they weren’t told earlier or asked to give input. They hold protests and press conferences. They show up en mass at school board meetings. Officials acknowledge they could probably do better, but communication is a huge job. And at least some of the onus must be on the other side. “It’s not always possible to engage people every time, exactly when they want to be engaged,” said CPS Superintendent Mary Ronan. Sometimes, she said, “decisions are made, and the engagement comes later. That’s not necessarily ideal, but that is in fact what has ended up happening.”
Legally, there are different requirements for public schools and private, but communication goes deeper than what a school by law must reveal. A school is the epicenter of its neighborhood. All sides agree that if a school is thriving, the neighborhood thrives with it. Houses are worth more. Businesses are attracted to the area, bringing jobs with them. If a school is struggling, the neighborhood struggles, too. Decisions that impact schools impact everyone. So, the question is, who should get a say in those decisions? See SCHOOLS, Page 2A
It’s been a dozen years since they asked, but on May 2, Wyoming City Schools will call on residents to support a continuous levy that will raise $2.4 million a year. The 9.5-mill levy is dual purpose, with 8 mills for operations and 1.5 mills for permanent improvements. Operational costs will address salaries, wages, benefits, retirement, programming, utilities and building maintenance. Permanent improvements include long-term maintenance and refurbishment of buildings, equipment and technological infrastructure, such as HVAC units at Wyoming High School, and pavement and roof repairs. “This portion of the levy can only be used for property, assets or improvements with an estimated life of usefulness of five years or more,” according to Suzy Henke, director of communications for Wyoming City Schools. “The proposed levy is intended to pay for continued operations of the district,” Henke said. “As for staff pay, the current contract between the Wyoming Education Association and the Board of Education will expire in June 2017.” Contract negotiations are anticipated this spring. The owner of a $300,000 home in Wyoming would pay an extra $998 a year, in addition to an existing $3,914 a year, and a 1.25 percent income tax for schools. School Board President Todd Levy said the 12 years that have passed since the district asked residents for more money are significant. “We are proud that we’ve stayed off the ballot for an operating levy for 12 years when the state of Ohio school district average is every three-to-four years,” Levy said. “The operating portion of the levy is forecast to last four years but is dependent upon maintaining state funding at current levels and our constant vigil of conservative spending. “This operating levy will allow us to maintain the programs that our community values. The Board of Education, administrators and staff continually look for ways to save money to offset rising costs of educating Wyoming students.” The extra funding will cover items such as textbooks, technology, staff salaries and professional development. “Without a successful yes vote for the operating and permanent improvement levy, we would be forced to reduce programs,” Levy said, “and how we deliver the Wyoming education that our community cherishes.”

After the MercyMcAuley announcement, tensions ran so high that some tossed out the idea of a ransom of sorts: Demand answers, and withhold church offerings in an escrow account until they get them. Blessing thinks that’s a bit far-fetched. But the fact it was even mentioned, he said, is an indicator of how strongly people feel. He has a freshman at Mother of Mercy, and he wants details. He wants to know to what, exactly, he is committing his time, energy, money and daughter. “Take away the rahrah-rah, and tell me what you’re going to do,” he said. “Give us the information that helps us make a decision.”
'We stubbed our toes' Here’s how it should work, said Jeffrey Stec, who runs Citizens for Civic Renewal, an East Price Hill-based nonprofit that helps facilitate collaborative decision-making. As soon as there’s a whiff of a pending problem or shift, conversations with stakeholders should start. Even groups like private schools that don’t legally have to discuss business openly should, Stec said. People have ideas. They might have solutions. They can’t help solve a problem if they don’t know it exists. “It’s ironic,” Stec said, “but often, the issues that need the most conversation and public discussion

are kept in-house the longest.” If conversations come too late, or if people feel left out, Stec said, “you may get outrage from generally even-tempered people.” In January, CPS announced a new magnet school in Walnut Hills for gifted children. It was supposed to be a happy announcement – one more option for students and parents – but people in the Walnut Hills community were miffed they weren’t told ahead of time. Christina Brown, chair of the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation, called it a “disturbing lack of engagement.” If community members had been included in the process, Brown said, they would have pointed out that a new magnet school might undercut efforts at the neighborhood’s Frederick Douglass Elementary School, just a few blocks away. They worry the new school might steal Douglass' top performers. CPS officials counter those claims, saying the new school will be inclusive and a boon to the neighborhood, but Brown says it reinforces a chasm between the haves and have-nots in Cincinnati. “Our students know,” she said. “They know what the perception of Douglass is. … Now it’s being literally reinforced with a new school just two blocks away.” A group of Walnut Hills leaders, including Brown, wrote a letter to the editor complaining about how the new school was announced, and CPS apologized. “We stubbed our toes on engagement,” said district spokeswoman Janet Walsh. CPS has since committed to meeting monthly
‘You can’t be an ostrich’ Here’s the thing: All of CPS’ board meetings are public. Anyone can go. Few do. The twice-monthly full-board meetings are even streamed online for those who can’t make it inperson. Few tune in. It’s rare for those broadcasts to get more than a couple dozen views. “We’ve tried to make things convenient, but, you know,” Walsh said, “I think it’s probably just a fact of human nature. People sometimes don’t get engaged until they see something they’re unhappy with." It’s not easy for private schools, either. Whisper the word “merger,” and you might touch off a student exodus, exacerbating or even creating a problem. School leaders want to be open and transparent, said Archdiocese of Cincinnati spokesman Dan Andriacco, but they have to balance that with the larger goal of doing what’s best for the school community as a whole. There are risks to sharing too much too soon. “Schools and parishes evoke strong emotions because they mean so much to the people they have served so long and so well,” Andriacco said. “From the point of view of the students, alumni and the community, therefore, there is no perfect way to reach the difficult decision to close a much-

After La Salle principal Luebbe was ousted, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati issued a statement saying it “regrets any concern and grief it may have caused in how this matter has been handled.” That’s not much of a mea culpa, said Green Township resident Susan Murdock, whose husband and two sons went to the school. It’s not, We’re sorry for what we did. It’s, We’re sorry for how you’re taking it. “For 12 years of school, we heard parents and teachers are a team, a unit. We were the La Sallian Family,” Murdock said. “But then they don’t want you to know what’s going on and they don’t want you to ask questions. And they cut us off.” The Sisters of Mercy apologized, too, after some parents and alumnae learned of the merger via reporters and social media. That shouldn’t have happened, they said. Too little, too late, said Westwood resident and McAuley alum Joy Pierson. It reminds Pierson, 51, of her own time in high school. “We were told what to do and how to do it,” she said. Instead of collaboration and transparency, it was, “We know what’s right. We’ll tell you what you need to know when you need to know it.” Shortly after the merger was announced, Pierson got a slew of emails from McAuley, asking for money. It was part of the school’s regular fundraising efforts, but it didn’t sit well. “I was really offended,” Pierson said. “I thought, ‘I’m not giving you money until you show some respect to the alums and to the parents.’”

beloved school. These stakeholders sometimes feel left out of the process.” In the 2006-07 school year, U.S. Catholic schools had 2.3 million students. By 2016-17, that number dropped to 1.9 million, according to the National Catholic Education Association. Look around, said retired Elder High School Principal Tom Otten. In the ‘70s, some West Side Catholic elementary schools had nearly 1,000 students, Otten said. Now, those same schools might have only 200 or 300 students. Something, obviously, must give. Otten is leading the transition team for the new Mercy McAuley High, and he pledged to be as inclusive as possible. But “you can’t be an ostrich and pretend or hope that issues like dropping enrollment are just going to turn around,” he said. “These boards should have five-year or 10-year plans. Parents and parishioners should be paying attention. It shouldn’t be a shock.” It’s probably not a question of, Will another Catholic school close?, said Stec, of Citizens for Civic Renewal. It’s, Which school, and when? “They should start talking now,” Stec said.

A trip to Europe in November 2015, by way of a Mediterranean cruise, offered a glimpse of historical wonder that was captured in photos. Mike Rank, of Madeira, will share his photos during the Sharon Woods Travel Series on April 28. Rank’s presentation is part of the Photography Club of Greater Cincinnati’s annual Travel Series at Sharon Woods. The program, at the Sharon Centre, 11450 Lebanon Road, begins at 7:30 p.m. on April 28.

Democrat will challenge Wenstrup in ’18 Deirdre Shesgreen dshesgreen@usatoday.com
WASHINGTON Democrats have been bedeviled in their previous efforts to get a viable candidate to challenge Rep. Brad Wenstrup, a Republican from Columbia Tusculum. Will 2018 be different? Richard Crosby thinks so. He’s a Cincinnati attorney and political newcomer who is challenging Wenstrup for Ohio’s 2nd congressional district seat. Crosby, who practices commercial litigation at Rendigs, Fry, Kiely & Dennis, says he’s already started fundraising and has a top-notch political team in place, including Jared Kamrass and Kevin Burton, two local Democratic consultants. “I never go into anything thinking I’m going to lose,” Crosby said, even as he conceded it would be difficult taking on an incumbent in a heavily Republican district. “I’m excited for the challenge,” he said. “We’re going to knock on every door in the district at least twice.” Crosby did not criticize Wenstrup directly, but he said voters in the

Richard Crosby is challenging Rep. Brad Wenstrup in the 2nd district.
2nd district “feel ignored or forgotten. … We’re here to be the voice for them.” Mark R. Weaver, a spokesman for Wenstrup, said the congressman is “busy bringing conservative commonsense change to Washington. And Mr. Crosby can begin his work as a political candidate. We wish him luck.” In the last three elections, Democratic voters in the district have nominated William R. Smith to face Wenstrup, even though Smith makes no effort to campaign or raise money. Smith has repeatedly lost to Wenstrup by wide margins; in the 2016 race, Wenstrup won by 67 percent to Smith’s 33 percent.

sports, economy, religion, incarceration, education, family and military. "We invited Mr. Edwards to the classroom to bring the reality of what life was like for African American servicemen during World War II to our students,” Roy said. Edwards talked about segregation, its effects on his life and on his military
service during the war. He also took time for a 30minute interview with a smaller group of students. “Through his stories, our students heard the living, breathing, personal side of their research, not just facts and dates,” Roy said. “Several said he was a guest they would never forget.”

NORTHWEST SCHOOLS
School levy campaign kicks off The campaign to pass the renewal of a 5.04-mill school levy for the Northwest Local School kicked off this month. District residents will vote on Issue 10, the renewal levy, Tuesday, May 2. The levy raises $7.3 million annually for the district’s operating budget. This renewal provides the district operating funds that are needed for everyday operations such as busing, art, music and physical education programs. The levy would be renewed for a period of 10 years. The levy costs the homeowner of a $100,000 home $154.92 annually. With the passage of the renewal levy, the payment would be reduced, to $148.44 per year. The renewal passage also preserves 2.5 percent homestead and 10 percent rollback relief tax incentives for homeowners. The rollbacks are not available for new levies, but stay in place for renewals.

The most delicious curried chicken salad I’ve ever tasted I should have ordered a pound of curried chicken salad from Bluebird Bakery in Glendale instead of the half pound I walked out with. The reason? When I arrived home, I just had to taste. One taste led to another, and that’s why the mound of this yummy chicken salad in the photo looks, well, a tad small. I had gotten a couple requests Rita for the recipe, Heikenfeld the latest of which was from RITA’S KITCHEN Linda B., a Boone County Recorder reader. “Could you possibly get the recipe for curried chicken salad that the Bluebird Bakery Cafe in Glendale makes? It is the most delicious curried chicken salad recipe I’ve ever tasted,” she said. Jenny Dennis, proprietor and chef has a good thing going at her bakery.

Steamed asparagus with herbed butter sauce My asparagus is not up yet, and I have a sneaky suspicion it’s because I overdid on the horse manure mulch a couple weeks back. I guess the asparagus is still trying to poke through. But when it does, I’m going to steam it like I used to. Now I like to cut off the tough ends, but the trend now is to peel the lower part of the asparagus, as well. (I’m not that much of a purist, though!).

The housing saga and party differences Bob Breitenstein made some important points (”Open your mind,” April 5). He demonstrated the differences between Democrat and Republican ideology. I know the housing market well. I also know what the Democrats were trying to do. They have always tried to help the lower income people gain a foothold in society. This was the motivation for making home ownership easier, to balance the opportunity for the lower income segment to gain equity; to stabilize the fiscal health of those who needed a helping hand to get started. Many were first-time home buyers and trusted the mortgage lenders. Lenders told them that their home value would increase yearly, which didn’t happen, like they said. Then came 2007. Consequently, some were in over their heads and fell into foreclosure and were forced to sell. Each administration puts their ideas in place for the masses. Like I said, “There are pros and cons to everything.” Some programs work well and some don’t. The sad fact is that human nature is a factor. Hedge fund investors took ad-
vantage and created fraudulent mortgages, which they sold to FNMA. Their greed Ann and illegal Thompson activities COMMUNITY PRESS shows us GUEST COLUMNIST that the private market is no more trustworthy than government. It is the government’s place to promote equality and opportunity and protect our people whenever possible. This may be the only time Republicans wanted to regulate anything (except women’s reproductive choices). It’s very simple to see the differences. Republicans are about money and power. Democrats are more about empowering people. “America was not made for those who dream of power. America was made for those with the power to dream.” - Milton Hirsch, Florida Circuit Court judge.

Do one thing now for Earth Day The year 2020 is quickly approaching and with it, the 50 anniversary of Earth Day. At Green Umbrella, we’re working hard to make Greater Cincinnati a top 10 metro area for sustainability before then. We’re already making progress. Our region has more than 101,000 acres of protected greenspace to date; we’ve seen a 55 percent increase in farmers markets in just the last three years; and there is now $191 million in slated funding for walkable and bike-friendly communities. The national recognition has also begun. Greater Cincinnati has ranked in the top 10 for our parks, trees, bike commuting, local food, and for our commitment to sustainability. This makes our region a great place for businesses to locate, and for people seeking an active outdoor lifestyle and a vibrant metro area. Green Umbrella’s Action Teams have 2020 goals for key areas of impact including: greenspace, outdoor recreation, local food, energy, waste reduction, transportation and water. Instead of resting when we exceeded two of our goals early, we set new ones. With Earth Day drawing near, it’s a great time to be
“Save the Food!” is becoming a rallying cry for everyone who loves food and hates waste. Even for all of us in the “clean plate club,” wasted food is a much bigger problem than most of us realize: In 2010, the average amount of food loss per American was 429 pounds. » A four-person family loses approximately $1,500 each year on wasted food. » 48 percent of fruits and vegetables are thrown away. » Meanwhile, one in seven Americans is food insecure. $1,500 a year! Ouch! Throwing away food also wastes all of the water and energy we put into growing the food, the fuel we consumed transporting the food, and the energy the grocery store used refrigerating the food. The good news is that every day we can make small choices that will reduce how much food we waste. Here are several easy tips to help you reduce food waste within your family:

Eat local: Support farmKristin ers, improve Weiss your health COMMUNITY PRESS and our local GUEST COLUMNIST economy by shifting 10 percent of your food budget to locally grown food. Find your local farmers market or sign up for a CSA. 2. Save the food: 40 percent of food (about $1,500 per household) is wasted each year. Shop with a plan, and store to save food so it doesn’t go to the landfill. 3. Drive less, live more: Download a free transit app to buy fares and plan your route. Bike or walk, especially for destinations within two miles. 4. End littering: 18 percent of litter ends up in streams and waterways as pollution. Put trash in its place, and help pick up litter. 5. Recycle: Paper and cardboard are still the largest part of our waste stream but yet are easily recycled. Reduce, reuse, recycle! 6. Re-think energy: Switch
up traditional light bulbs for LED – they use 90 percent less energy and last 15 years longer. Or Solarize - the cost of solar installation has gone down dramatically, and there are rebates and tax credits to help you go solar. 7. #OptOutside: Get outdoors and submit your favorite green place to help us promote the value of greenspace and connecting with the wonders of nature. 8.

Mount Healthy’s Tina Tuck says farewell Adam Baum abaum@enquirer.com
MOUNT HEALTHY - In a few months, Tina Tuck will take a vacation. She knows not yet where, or for how long, only that it’s necessary. While the longtime Mount Healthy High School athletic director may be overworked, the trip won’t be for leisure or to relax — she may try — but this excursion is more of an emotional evacuation. Tuck retires July 31, after 20 years of service as the Owls’ AD — the longest-tenured in school history — in addition to 11 years prior to that as a coach and teacher, and for the first time in a long time, life will feel a little strange. Tuck said, “You’ve gotta stay away for 60 days, you can’t be in the school for two months after you retire.” Meaning, when the next school year starts, Tuck won’t be there. Her office — adorned everywhere with owls, of different shapes and sizes, each with a story — will belong to another. That’s why they will take a vacation, because it will be painful to miss. It’s something Tuck has come to love. “I told my husband, ‘We’re going out of town in August,’” Tuck said. “Because it will be hard. Of course, the new AD may have me on speed dial.” For three decades, after her own playing career ended — basketball at Ohio University; softball at Northern Kentucky University — she remained devoted to sports and to the kids. The Colerain High School grad said, “I was the assistant women’s basketball coach at Northern Kentucky University the year they went to the Final Four and the head coach—I was thinking college coaching—she said, ‘You need to get some head coaching experience, that will help you.’” When Tuck finished her master’s at NKU, a teaching job opened up at Mount Healthy, which soon led to becoming the Owls’ head girls basketball coach. “I was 23 when I got hired

here,” she said. “As things went on, I was following Dave Dierker who was the AD before me, and I started seeing that and I thought that’s what I want to do. “I like all sports and I wanted to be involved in all of them, so I started helping him a lot and really got to know the job. When he decided to leave, it was younger than I really wanted to get into it, I thought, ‘I’m gonna try’ … and I got the job.” One of the things Tuck’s always appreciated about Mount Healthy, in addition to the people and kids she spoke highly of, is she said they were willing to hire a woman in what was largely a boys club, at that time. “At that point, it was pretty much a male world,” Tuck remembered the local athletic director situation back then. “There weren’t many females.” Tuck recalled an early meeting of area ADs: “There were four of us out of 300-something ADs. Two of them were junior high ADs, so there was only one other high school woman when I got hired.” It’s something she’s seen change quite a bit in her career. “I always appreciated Mount Healthy giving me that shot,” said Tuck. “There were seven, eight men that were up for that job and they went with me and I really have always appreciated that.” Tuck said, “I was really supposed to retire last year, but John Kasich made the changes in eduSee TINA, Page 2B
St. Xavier lacrosse sticks to plan Adam Baum and Scott Springer Community Press staff
SPRINGFIELD TWP. - With this lacrosse season being the first official one in Ohio High School Athletic Association history, St. Xavier High School would very much like to compete for the first state title in OHSAA history. It’s not illogical to assume St. X’s stick men will be in the mix. The Bombers lost in three overtimes to Loveland last season in the regional championship. The year before, 2015, St. X won the state title, and lost in a state semifinal in 2014. St. X has depth and talent back this season from a team that went 19-3 last year. The Bombers’ four senior co-captains are Josh Glaser, Brady Stoll, Anthony Longi, and Carl Grimm. Glaser’s a midfielder and the rest are defenders. Senior goalkeeper Zach Groene is back in net, and senior midfielder Caleb Anderson is another important piece in the middle for the Bombers, said seventh-year coach Nate Sprong. Junior Donny Stock, firstteam all-region last season, handles face-offs, while juniors Duke Alf and Johnny Marrocco attack the net. Through five games, St. X has
started off 3-2, but Marrocco already has 32 points and Alf has 26. Sprong said defensive experience has been the stronghold thus far for his team. This early in the season, though, the focus is on “hustle and ground balls … that normally determines the outcome of games.” St. Xavier visits Elder on April 12, then hosts Dublin Coffman April 15. The Bombers host Mariemont April 17 and travel to Mason April 19.
La Salle Coach: Jim Buttelwerth, 2nd season Division: I Record last year: 10-6 Key players: David Wieck, Justin Kahny, Parker Baston, Jared Buttelweth, Ben Wenning, Kyle Wallace, Zac McMahon, Andy Kathman, Christian Schalk, Daniel Bushelman, Mitch Raffenberg, Dillon Hudepohl, Zac Rumpke Outlook: The Lancers are coming off the first winning season in program history, but that excitement hasn’t exactly equated to a great start in 2017. La Salle’s 1-5 to start this season, albeit against a formidable schedule. With eight returning starters, the hope is that the Lancers put it together down the stretch. Buttelwerth said, “With an
improved schedule, this upperclassmen-led team is expected to compete at a very high level in hopes of achieving the school’s first playoff win. Team strengths include great senior leadership on and off the field, overall improved strength, conditioning, and commitment. Season has started slow with three losses by a combined four goals and a tough early schedule.” Games to watch: April 15 vs. Miamisburg; April 18 vs. Lakota West; April 26 at Winton Woods; April 28 at Edgewood.
Moeller Coach: Sean McGinnis Division: I Record last year: 9-9 Players to watch: Offensive starters back for Moeller are senior midfielder Lucas Klever, senior midfielder Conor McGeeney, senior attack Cory Lockwood, senior midfielder Will Sturgis, senior attack Conner Rice, sophomore attack Brendan Sigurdson and junior midfielder Logan Dieball. On defense, senior goalie Paxton Kreger, junior defenseman Jack Stahanczyk and senior long stick middie Adam Kohlman are back.

He was really on that day.” Senior softball standout Hayley Richardson followed in Gerbus’ footsteps with a perfect game about a week later on April 3 in a 15-0 five-inning win over Mariemont. “She was pretty dominant,” Wolferst said of his ace. “She was throwing strikes.

Both teams have hit a slight skid during what Wolferst called, “Spring Breakoritis.” The schedule only gets tougher down the stretch for both. “We still control our own destiny, just like every other team in the league right now,” said Wolferst. “We’ve gotta get back at it.” The baseball team has largely done it with pitching and defense. The Wildcats are only hitting .228 as a team, led by BJ Ward’s .421 average. Deese said middle infielders Adam Schwegman and James Fain have been invaluable this season. He also expects the bats to come around at some point.

Tuck said, after she takes at least a year off, she might get back into coaching, or she’s been interested in helping plan events for senior citizens, something she learned the value of when her mother was in assisted living. What won’t change, though, are the people Tuck surrounds herself with. She spoke at length about her aunt and uncle, three older brothers, and her husband who’s been by her side her entire career. “I wouldn’t have made it without him,” said Tuck,

FINNEYTOWN - Finneytown High School’s baseball and softball fields sit next to one another, with each third-base line running parallel to each other. The Wildcat neighbors are currently enjoying maybe the best spring start they’ve ever had on the diamond. They’re a combined 12-4 as of April 13. After a 7-0 start, the softball team is 7-2, and the baseball squad is 5-2. “I don’t think we’ve ever been 7-0,” said Finneytown head softball coach Dave Wolferst, who added that the baseball team has “been playing well … they’re starting to believe, you can see it in their eyes.” Senior Joey Gerbus, who’s signed with Earlham College, actually kicked off the spring season with a no-hitter in a 2-0 win against Roger Bacon back on March 25. It wasn’t just the season-opener for the baseball team, either. It was Julian Deese’s first game as a high school head coach. Deese, who’s been an assistant football coach at Finneytown, said, “It was pretty interesting. I didn’t even realize it was a nohitter until the fifth. It was a battle, (Roger Bacon’s)

For years fake prize schemes tricked people into thinking they won a a lot of money – but would require them to first send their money before they could to collect their prize. That scheme soon progressed to one in which con artists actually sent out checks to unsuspecting consumers. That’s what happened to Melodie, of Greater Cincinnati. Melodie wrote, “I while back I got an email offering me a job. It was a tourist company out of California. I completed the ‘assignment’ which was a short description of downtown Lawrenceburg. I then got an email asking for an account for payment to be deposited.” Melodie was not comfortable giving out her bank account information so the “employer” emailed her that she was going to be receiving a check. The “employer” wrote, “Your next assignment is that you will be carrying out an assignment to settle some tourist. Once you receive the check, deposit it and remove $500 for your first week wage. Your next payment will be mailed out once you complete your 2nd assignment.” The email concluded, “Please acknowledge the receipt of this email and instruction for your second assignment will be sent. Thanks, Charlie.” Melodie says when she got home she found a check in the mail and wrote me, “I’m not sure about cashing it. I need help please.” The check
was from American Title Co., Houston, and it said the money, $2,350, came from Howard an escrow Ain account. Clearly, HEY HOWARD! that has nothing to do with her job working for a California tourist company– which is why she was unsure about cashing it. She was right not to sign the back and deposit it into her bank account because then she would be guaranteeing that the check is good – when, in fact, it is probably fake. Such fake check scams are more and more common these days. The Federal Trade Commission has identified several varieties of fraudulent and deceptive schemes affecting consumers, particularly older Americans, including, (1) sweepstakes, prize promotions and lotteries, (2) timeshare sales and re-sales, (3) health care products and services, (4) investments, business opportunities and work-from-home programs, (5) technical support services, and (6) charitable donations. Bottom line, beware of checks sent from strangers who want you to deposit the check and then send them your good money.

Literacy Network hosts 26th annual spelling bee for literacy The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati hosts its 26th annual Spelling Bee Thursday, April 27, at the Holy Grail Banks. Join the Literacy Network for spelling, raffles, fun and celebrating literacy by sponsoring a team or cheering on the competition. The “Bee”-105 Morning Team with Big Dave, Chelsie and Statt will emcee the event. Teams of three from local businesses, organizations or groups of friends are invited to compete for the title of Cincinnati’s best spellers. Each team is given a word with one minute to work together and spell it correctly. Priz-
es are awarded to first place and runner-up teams as well as the most spirited team. “The Spelling Bee is a fantastic way to help those in our community who struggle with basic reading. With thousands of adults and children in Cincinnati fighting to overcome illiteracy, events like this make our much-needed programs possible,” said Michelle Otten Guenther, president of the Literacy Network. New this year is the Internal Spelling Bee. An Internal Spelling Bee packet including practice words and spelling study tips is sent to companies and organizations. Members

More than 22,000 Ohio National contract owners have participated, raising $255,210 to help grant more than 32 wishes for wish kids throughout the United States since the program began. “Everyone wins from this program, from the environment and Ohio National contract owners to Make-A-Wish kids in Cincinnati and throughout the country,”
said Gary T. “Doc” Huffman, Ohio National chairman, president and chief executive officer. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of kids with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. With the help of generous donors and more than 28,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 35 minutes. It has granted more than 270,000 wishes since its inception in 1980; more than 14,800 in 2015 alone. Visit Make-AWish at www.wish.org to learn more.
