BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Restaurants could guide Northern Lights Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
The naming of the Hyatt Place Hotel, planned at the site of Sharonville’s Convention Center, has set a direction for development of the Chester Road Northern Lights Corridor. The 120-room, six-story hotel will be connected to the convention center, and a short distance from Princeton’s Viking Village. Both venues will offer opportunities for events ranging from conferences to weddings, musical performances to sports competitions. In addition to athletic fields, Princeton will offer for rent its 1,200 seat performance theater, 500-seat natatorium and 2,500 seat sports arena. While the two facilities will draw tourists to the area, the rest of the street needs to be reinvigorated. That’s why Sharonville is working to improve the street’s infrastructure and make it more pedestrian-friendly, to encourage tourists to explore the area. City officials are hoping to attract businesses that will make the street an entertainment destination. Sharonville Economic Development Director Chris Xeil Lyons envisions restaurants and bars along the corridor. The street’s designation as entertainment district an means there are more liquor licenses available. Of the dozen reserved for Chester Road, nine are still available. Lyons said that while some of

the properties are privately owned, the city is in possession of two lots across from the Convention Center that she is working to develop. Princeton City Schools also owns six acres at Sharon and Chester roads. While that property is being used as a parking lot, the district could develop it
in the future. Other property available for sale includes the China Buffet lot, property next to the Fairfield Marriott, and Roxy’s Live. Lyons said she hopes the announcement of the hotel flag will entice developers of highend restaurants. “Now, with the hotel and con-
vention center, there is activity to support it,� she said of the restaurants. Work is expected to begin on the hotel in the fall. “After that, it goes quick,� Lyons said. “We anticipate opening by next fall (2016).� The project will bring 75 new jobs at the hotel, as well as tem-
Princeton voices opposition to proposed funding cuts Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
They came by busload and carful, traveling nearly 100 miles to raise the volume against a school funding proposal that has already created hardship, and could cripple their school district. The Princeton City Schools community, including incoming and interim superintendents, school administrators, staff, teachers and union leaders, as well as members of the six municipalities that make up the 6,096-student district, traveled to Columbus April 16 to testify against proposed legislation and tell state officials what they want and need. It’s part of the push-back to the budget introduced April 14 by House Republicans. The proposal offers more overall money to schools – an extra $179 million compared with the plan Gov. John Kasich offered in the winter. House Republicans agreed with Kasich that the state should start phasing out money districts

Among them were, from left: Director of Secondary Schools William Sprankles; Rick Pulson of the PSSA union and a maintenance worker; Dana Zinnecker, a media professional and member of PSSA; Interim Superintendent Ed Theroux; teacher and PACE president Gretchen Tash; and Dave Martin, a teacher and PACE vice president.

Little decorator is just icing on the cake When your spirits need a lift, allow me to make a suggestion. Go to Wyoming Pastry Shop at 505 Wyoming Ave. on Mondays for a delicious nosh a and bright smile from 22a month-old bundle of cute named Scarlett Elizabeth Mathews. Evelyn Perkins Seeing her come COMMUNITY PRESS out of the COLUMNIST back room a with broom made me remember Nancy Byrd Turner’s poem, “When Young Melissa Sweeps:” “If ever you are full of gloom, just watch Melissa sweep a room.”
The regular patrons know her and she knows them, so when I walked in, she gave me the onceover, and then returned to familiar territory where her “co-workers” were busy. She had second thoughts and came out again. Just maybe she had seen me before and I seemed friendly enough because I had said, “Hello Sweetie.” When I greeted her again, she decided she didn’t recognize the face or the voice after all, but a dimple began to play on the left side of her face and she batted her long eyelashes at me. It was time to get down to business and come back with Mom. And why not bring along a step stool to see me over the counter better? Her mother is Suzanne Mathews, who
doesn’t work on Mondays, so she and Scarlett visit owner Kim Reschke, and Scarlett’s aunt, Catie Cress, the cake decorator who has worked at the award winning Wyoming Pastry Shop for five years. Suzanne says Scarlett thinks she owns the place: she throws trash away, sweeps, entertains the regular patrons who know her by name, runs up and down and eats cookies. This charming cherub has all her teeth, and they showcase the prettiest personality you ever saw. By the time you read this, expectant Suzanne will know whether Scarlett will have a baby brother or sister to cuddle. She is sure to be a wonderful helper.

Scarlet Oaks craft, car show May 9 Cars, crafts, and family fun are all happening at Scarlet Oaks. The annual Craft Show and Cruise In takes place on Saturday, May 9, on the Scarlet Oaks Career Campus at 3254 E. Kemper Road (300 Scarlet Oaks Drive) in Sharonville. The show includes more than 55 craft vendors in the school’s com-
Princeton Continued from Page 1A
Ed Theroux and Sharonville Mayor Kevin Hardman testified to the impact that would have on the district, and called for legislation that would make the school district whole. As of the current school year, Princeton lost $8 million of the $24 million TPP reimbursement the district had received. Additionally, Princeton passed an operating levy in 2012, and made cuts to programs, staff and services. The district can’t absorb much more, Moore said. “We know the impact of this decision,” he said in Columbus, “and we hope and pray you do, too.” “Next year, when we crunch our numbers, we’re scheduled to lose $528,000,” Theroux said later. “The following year we will lose $1.2 million. We will lose $1.7 million each year after that. “It will continue until it’s all gone,” Theroux said. dispute Educators some legislators’ claim that TPP reimbursement was intended as a temporary way help school districts ease into the new funding model. The issue has become one of he-said, she-said. Some legislators say the TPP reimbursement was always meant to be temporary – a way to help school districts ease into the new funding model. Educators, however, say that’s a lie.
missary. Car clubs and automotive enthusiasts from around the Tristate will bring unique and restored vehicles for public display. The event begins at 9 a.m. and runs until to 3 p.m., with the Cruise In ending at 1 p.m. Crafts by local artisans offered for sale that day include jewelry, baby items, furniture, candles, clothing, bath and body goods, and other products. Kids’ activities make this an event for the entire family, and a pancake breakfast served by culinary arts students, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. will start the day off right. This year’s car show format will be a “Cruise In” style, with registra-
tion beginning at 8 a.m. and continuing until noon. The cost is $10 the day of the show. All participants will receive a dash plaque and a door prize entry ticket. Scarlet Oaks automotive students will serve as judges and will award trophies to their top three picks at 12:30 pm. The show will be held rain or shine; no refunds. Public admission to the craft show is free; the event benefits student organizations at Scarlet Oaks. Concessions are available throughout the day. For more information, contact Scarlet Oaks at 513-771-8810.
Further complicating the matter is the fact the TPP tax was eliminated about a decade ago, so, due to term limits, many of the legislators in-office at the time have since moved on. “About every two years, we’ve had to come and fight for the TPP reimbursement,” Theroux said in Columbus. “What we’re asking for is a permanent fix. ... There was a promise that we would be made whole.” Statewide, Mason City Schools would take the biggest cut over the twoyear course of the budget, $3.6 million, according to preliminary projections. Lakota is second, slated to lose $3.1 million, followed by Princeton, down $1.7 million. Theroux explained that the state considers three criteria when considering the local capacity for generating revenue, and those criteria place Princeton in a vicious cycle. “First, they consider how much you pay in taxes overall, compared to your area (Hamilton County in Princeton’s case),” Theroux said. “We’re not on the bottom, but we’re below mid-level in the amount of taxes we pay. “Second is income. Princeton’s income is slightly below the average income in the area,” he said, “but we’re not on the bottom. “Then there’s property value. Our property values are considered moderately wealthy,” Theroux said. “It’s not that we live wealthy lives, but we have a lot of business
property that inflates the property values overall. “Looking at these areas, our communities are expected to reimburse those lost funds through added tax levies.” Princeton had already passed a 6.5 mill operating levy in 2012, to offset the losses from the TPP tax elimination, but it’s not enough, Theroux said. “As a community with 80 percent of residents who either don’t have children or don’t send them to Princeton schools, they don’t understand the impact,” the interim superintendent said. “Parents understand,” he said of Viking families. “If we don’t pass the levies, we cut programs, services and staff to meet our budget. “It will decimate our education, which will affect their property values,” he said. “People won’t move into the school district if it isn’t doing well.” Theroux said Princeton is looking for a permanent fix for the TPP reimbursement. The TPP tax used to come directly to the school districts. It never went to Columbus. The new Commercial Activity Tax, or CAT, goes to Columbus. The budget hearings started at 9 a.m. Thursday and continued well into the afternoon. Representatives from Mason, Lakota and Sycamore schools were also on the docket to testify, and hearings are expected to continue Friday. Reporter Hannah Sparling contributed.

Evendale Elementary » Boonshoft Museum of Discovery in Dayton visited the first-grade at Evendale Elementary to promote the idea of taking care of your eyes through a program titled “Wise About Eyes.” The visit was a free sponsored event by Prevent Blindness Ohio. Spokesperson Samanta Lake discussed the specifics of a pupil, iris, eye muscles and the five senses, and brought in many hands-on items so students were actively engaged. They were working on puzzles, viewing braille material, and using all five senses for various games. The students all received a pair of sunglasses and a coloring book.

rience - one that would allow them to reboot, reflect and reconnect with God. Liberty is a small town tucked into the hills of central Kentucky and home to many people who live lives focused on simplicity and faith. This year, 38 students and eight chaperones went to experience the way of life in Liberty. For the past
three years, students and faculty from Seton High School have joined MND on trips to Liberty. This trip, 13 students and four chaperones from Seton accompanied MND. While in Liberty, the group worked on several organic farms (picking, planting, sorting, watering, preparing the ground, trimming), helped elderly and disabled friends with
chores, spent time with residents at the non-profit Galilean Children’s Home, shoveled manure, helped with construction projects, assisted a local Catholic church with provisited Amish jects, friends, and much more. The MND team also developed a sense of community among participants and friends in Liberty. Together they played
volleyball, enjoyed folk music and reflected about life. “During this trip, I noticed so many people who were living their lives so simply yet fully,” sophomore Chloe Marklay of West Chester Township, who participated in her second Liberty trip, said. “I think it is important to realize that you don’t need a lot in life to be complete. Sometimes the less we have allows us to see how much we truly have.” MND makes the trip to Liberty three to four times a year, and they often make a Christmas visit to see the local play. The organizer of the trip, Todd Forman, MND faculty member, has been taking
students and adult chaperones to Liberty since 1988. This is Forman’s eighth year at MND and this was MND’s 28th trip.

Root veggies, Cinco de Mayo on menu When we plow the garden for our summer vegetables and flowers, the grandkids repeat what my own kids asked when they were little: “Are you going to plant potatoes, onions and carrots?” The answer, of course, is always yes. Digging for potatoes or pulling up onions or carrots out of the ground is like finding buried treasure. The nice thing about growing these three veggies Rita is that they can be Heikenfeld grown in the ground or in a container, like a RITA’S KITCHEN bushel basket. We especially like new potatoes freshly dug from the garden. Here’s a yummy recipe using a different technique for cooking them.
Readers want to know:
What’s the best mint for Juleps and how do you make them? Spearmint for sure. Make a simple syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water, add about 1 cup mint leaves, smoosh with spoon to release flavor, and boil until sugar dissolves. Cool and strain. Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice, add mint syrup to taste (start with about 4 tablespoons and go from there. Some people like it real sweet and minty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir real quick to make the glass frost on the outside and garnish with a mint sprig.
Earth Day fun!

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Spearmint is the best mint for juleps, according to Rita Heikenfeld.
Stovetop roasted fingerlings with butter and parsley I saw Ina Garten make a variation of these and just had to make some myself. I used my heavy enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot. Make sure potatoes are about the same size so they cook evenly. 1/4 cup butter 1-1/2 pounds fingerling or very small potatoes, rinsed but not peeled Salt and pepper to taste Chopped parsley
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper, and toss well. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. Shake pot occasionally without removing lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off heat and steam 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Stir in parsley. Tip: Ina used dill so try that, too.
Cinco de Mayo chili cheese dip I like to sprinkle the finished dish with more cilantro. If you want a spicy kick, substitute tomatoes with chilies, drained for the diced tomatoes. 15 oz. can chili with beans 14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained 3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green part both Cilantro to taste 8 oz. cream cheese, softened Generous cup corn chips, finely crushed 8 oz. Taco or Mexican blend shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8-inch baking pan or small oven proof casserole. Stir together chili, tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Spread cream cheese in bottom of baking dish. Top with a layer of chili mixture. Sprinkle top with the corn chips and cheese. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles a bit, about 15 minutes. Serve with corn chips or veggies.

The angle on ankles: Sprains need to be treated Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries I see as a physician of sports medicine at Cincinnati Children’s. It’s estimated 2 million ankle sprains occur across the country every year. Almost half taking place during sports related activity. Ankle sprains commonly happen in sports that require cutting and jumping such as basketball, soccer, football and volleyball. A common misconception among parents is that an ankle sprain is a “mild injury that will heal on its own.” However, ankle sprains can lead to chronic pain and instability of the ankle if not properly treated. The group that is at greatest risk range in age from 10-19 years old. A sprain is a stretching or tearing injury that is specific to ligaments (bone to bone connections in the body). Most ankle sprains cause an injury to the outside portion of the ankle. However, an injury to the inside of the ankle can indicate a far more worrisome injury. If you think your child has an ankle sprain, it’s always best to have an examination by a physician who has specialized training in evaluation of ankle sprains. Some of the signs include: » inability or difficulty bearing weight on the affected ankle; » significant swelling or bruising anywhere on the ankle, leg or foot; » pain over the inside of the ankle or over the foot; » deformity of the ankle or foot. If any of the above signs or symptoms is present, it is advised that your child be evaluated as soon as possible. Ligaments may not heal properly if rest and or bracing are not performed. Ankle braces have
progressed greatly over the past 20 years. Today’s ankle braces are for easier to put on, are comprised of more adDr. Gregory Walker vanced materiCOMMUNITY PRESS als, and are GUEST COLUMNIST more comfortable to wear. At Cincinnati Children’s, our pediatric sports medicine experts recognize the importance of early evaluation of musculoskeletal injuries. Our clinics are equipped with Xray capabilities, splints, crutches, and bracing for all levels of ankle sprains. Same day appointments can be made by calling 513-803-HURT. If your child’s injury is after hours or on the weekend and your child is unable to bear weight or a deformity is present, an evaluation in an urgent care or emergency department would be recommended. Depending on the degree of the ankle sprain, healing times may vary. If the ankle sprain is minor, recovery can take place within two to three weeks. With more severe ankle sprains, the healing time can take six to eight weeks for a full recovery. It’s important to have the ankle checked out as soon as possible especially if there is any ongoing pain. At Cincinnati Children’s, the sports medicine team is committed to having your child return to his or her usual activities once the ankle is healed and strength is restored. Dr. Gregory Walker is an assistant professor in Division of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s and an associate professor in Department of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati.

Caged bird sings sad song for boards of education One of the safety precautions coal miners once used in early underground mining operations was a canary in a cage. As long as the canary sang, the miners knew they were safe from undetectable toxic gases. If the canary stopped singing, the miners proceeded to evacuate the mine. Recent developments within the Ohio’s education funding landscape have cautioned all districts to pay attention to their own canaries. One example involves the Republican-dominated state board of education’s decision by a partisan vote of 11-7 to repeal the decades old five of eight standard which required all districts to fill five of eight support positions for each increment of 1,000 students. The education service personnel positions are music, art, physical education and visiting teacher plus school nurse, librarian and counselor. Ironically, the requirement to teach the two arts disciplines and physical education in grades K-8 still remains. Undoubtedly, much of this responsibility will shift to the already overburdened classroom teachers. At the same time competing school funding proposals from the Ohio State Legislature and Gov. John Kasich will decrease state funds for at least 93 Ohio school dis-
tricts. The vast majority of school districts in southwest Ohio that depend on a perpetual, Noel Taylor promised, COMMUNITY PRESS reimbursement from GUEST COLUMNIST the discontinued personal tangible property tax will lose a significant amount of expected state revenue. In fact Princeton District projects a 24 percent reduction to its budget. In a district like Middletown City Schools, which has been advised by the state auditor to reduce its budget by $3 million per year, these devastating actions will create traumatic choices any board of education dreads to face. The proposed reductions include 35 general education teachers and 11 education service personnel positions. With the elimination of the five of eight standard and looming state revenue loses, board members will surely consider deeper cuts for all of those positions previously covered by the standard with the intent to preserve as many classroom teaching positions as possible. Inevitably, these tax shifting shell games the state legislature and governor are playing with public school
funding will eventually fall at the doorstep of the local school school district. Once all conceivable cuts are painfully made, the local board will seek additional monies by raising property taxes. Since only 25 percent of a local district’s population has any direct contact with the schools, an increase dependent on raising local property taxes is a formidable if not impossible challenge to say the very least. As the public has previously witnessed, the number of years required for most local boards to pass a tax levy can severely impact the education of their students for years. The struggles Lakota and Little Miami districts recently endured are two prominent examples. That’s an unforgivable price to pay for our children’s future! Today that coal mine canary may sing its last refrain for a thorough and efficient public school education in school districts like Middletown. Tomorrow, many other southwestern Ohio school districts will strain to hear the canary’s last songs as their primary sources of state revenue evaporate in a wisp of toxic political smoke. Noel Taylor is a former Princeton City Schools administrator and a resident of Sharonville.
CH@TROOM April 22 question Now that the U.S. is “normalizing” relations with Cuba, and has removed it from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, how will this benefit or hurt the U.S.? Would you be more or less likely to visit Cuba? Why or why not?
“There are many things about our history with the Communist Cuban government, that are not America’s proudest moments. That being said, I see absolutely no benefit to the U.S. in recognizing Cuba, as long as it is under Castro. If the former residents, through Congress, request normalization, I might change my mind. “Our currently failed foreign policies certainly do not

gain any strength in our demands for human rights. Strange, to me, is how we kept the sanctions on South Africa until they failed internally, but we seem desperate to not do the same to terrorist nations
like Iran and Cuba.

“Normalizing relations with Cuba is the first and only thing Obama has done during his reign that finally makes complete sense. It’s about time. Whether this change will be a real benefit to the USA is yet to be seen, but it will absolutely be a significant benefit to the Cuban people. The tourism dollars alone flooding into their economy will be well received and create a start toward reliving a noticeable portion of the suffering endured daily by the populace. M.J.F.
Have your young athlete’s back during spring seasons Spring sports are starting! Baseball, soccer, track…everyone is outside again and having fun in warmer weather. As sports get going in the spring, I always see an increase in injuries and pain. As director of sports medicine at Cincinnati Children’s, I see many young athletes in clinic who have new back pain related to their sport. Up to 30 percent of athletes will have back pain at some point while playing sports. It is one of the most common things we see in sports medicine clinics and on the sideline. Most back pain is not serious and goes away with little treatment. Gently stretching and strengthening the lower back and abdominal
muscles, as well as avoiding activities that are really painful for the back is usually all it takes.
Lower back pain
Kelsey Logan
The lower back, or lumbar spine, is the most common area of back pain in athletes. Pain usually occurs from bone, muscle or disc problems. The most common cause of lower back pain in young athletes is a stress fracture-a bone injury. The second most common cause is a muscle strain of the lower COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST COLUMNIST
TRI-COUNTY PRESS
A publication of
back. » The lower back is a main power generator in many sports and can be overstressed if strength, coordination, or overuse is a problem, resulting in the gradual onset of back pain. » Athletes in certain sports are at higher risk for back injuries. Examples are football, gymnastics, and dance. The mechanical demands of these sports make the low back vulnerable to overuse or quick onset of back pain. The cause of back pain in children and adolescents is often very different in adults. Adults deal with more disc pain, which is not a common problem for children and ado-
lescents. At Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Sports Medicine, we understand this and assess the whole patient while forming a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Treatment and recovery
Treatment of a lower back stress fracture involves 2-3 months of allowing the bone(s) to heal, just like any other broken bone. Various types of imaging are sometimes done to help guide treatment course. Muscle injuries in the lower back are most often treated with stretches, progressive strengthening exercises, and comfort measures (examples: anti-inflammatory drugs for a short period of time, ice, heat).

Athletic trainers or physical therapists trained in back injuries are helpful with this rehab. All lower back injuries require some rest to aid the healing process. We understand that this time of resting from painful activities can be frustrating for the athlete, and we work with the athlete to make sure the back heals properly, allowing the athlete to return to regular sports activity as soon and successfully as possible. Dr. Kelsey Logan is sports director of the Division of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s and an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati.

Tri-County Press presents 2015 WINTER ALL STARS Congratulations to the 20142015 winter sports All Stars. In 2014-2015 school year, we’re taking a different tact at recognizing student athletes in the Community Press & Recorder, replacing Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year. Each season we’ll name All Stars for each sport, many picked for statistical reasons, all-city team rankings, etc. Some of these names - plus some wild cards - will be placed on a ballot in June (along with the All Stars from fall and spring) for the 2014-2015 male and female All Stars of the Year. Readers will be able to vote for these 2014-2015 All Stars in late June or early July on Cincinnati.com. The wild cards will be limited to seniors of significant individual athletic achievement. Please note The Community Press’s sister paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, has its own winter sports All Stars and will have a similar vote next summer. The daily and weekly high school sports staff, as well as our sponsor, Tri-Health, are proud to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of these athletes and their coaches.

Concert band to play ‘Finale’ before Memorial Hall closes for modernization Staging its grand finale at Memorial Hall, the Queen City Concert Band will perform a concluding concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 3, before the historic Over-the-Rhine auditorium undergoes a comprehensive modernization. The band began its long history as the Powel Crosley YMCA Band under Herbert Tiemeyer, a respected conductor who started bands at Ys around the city. Dorothy Kemp assumed the role in 1982, renaming the ensemble the Queen City Concert Band. After her death in 2006, Jeff Evans led the group until Medert and Joos agreed to take charge. Titled “Finale,� the
nin Dvorak’s “Finale� from the composer’s “New World Symphony.� The band will also play (familiarly “Largo� known as “Going Home�) from that symphony. A reception will follow in the hall’s ParkView Room overlooking Washington Park. Memorial Hall is at 1225 Elm St., next to the
Cincinnati Music Hall. Convenient paid parking is available in a lot adjacent to Memorial Hall and in the Washington Park garage. “This will be your last chance to hear our fine band in that magnificent hall for a long time,� said Terry Medert, who has served as co-director of the QCCB with Steve Joos
since 2009. Those with concert questions can call Medert at 513-325-3537. The building will close for renovations May 4 and 3CDC, the public-private entity that has led downtown revitalization, will assume the hall’s management.

The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency in partnership with OKI Regional Council of Governments changed the name of the Smog Alert program to Air Quality Advisory. An Air Quality Advisory is a public message that is issued the day before the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency expects to see levels of air pollution that are unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly and people with asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory problems, according to a press release. When issued, advisories are for Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Ohio and Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Kentucky.
