HYDE PARK — Summit Coun-try Day School may rebuild awing damaged in 2004.

A plan under considerationwould involve replacing libraryandclassroomspace lostduringa building collapse more than adecade ago. The collapse oc-curred in the southeast wing ofthe main building during con-struction of the Lower School.The collapse resulted from ex-cavationwork being done at thetime.

The plan would involve re-building five floors for a total ofabout 12,000 square feet.

Theproject isbudgetedfrom$8 million to $9 million.

Representatives for theschool say the plan is tentativeand at a preliminary stage.

Architect Richard Thomastold Hyde Park NeighborhoodCouncil members during anOct. 14 meeting that the schoolwould be seeking conditionaluse approval from the city. Con-ditional use approval is re-quired for any work to begin onthe project.

Approval of a full buildingpermitwould alsohave tobe ap-proved by the city.

Thomas said the exteriorwall would be made of precastconcrete designed to mimic thearchitecture of the existingbuilding.

He saidmost of the construc-tion would be done during thesummer of 2015, but that someof the foundationworkwouldbedone during this year’s holiday

break in December and/or pos-sibly during spring break nextyear.

Thomas said exterior workwould take from four to sixweeks.

The project is expected to becompleted by the start of the2015-2016 school year.

Hyde Park NeighborhoodCouncil board member TonyHaslinger asked if any streetclosures were expected in con-nection with the project.

Thomas said no street clo-sures were anticipated.

BoardmemberGaryWollen-weber, who also serves on coun-cil’s Zoning Committee, said hesupported the project.

“We try not to get involved indesign, but this (involves) use,”he said. “(Wehave) no objectionto granting conditional use.”

No objections were voicedby any of the other board mem-bers, nor did any residents ex-press concerns.

Architect Richard Thomas fieldsquestions from the Hyde ParkNeighborhood Council during apresentation on Oct. 14.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP —When it opened 10 years ago,Kroger’s grocery in theAnder-sonTowneCenterwas the larg-est in Ohio and it was consid-ered “state of the art” with ajewelry store, Starbucks anddrive-thru pharmacy.

Today, the 105,114-square-foot store in the 7500 block ofBeechmont Avenue needs tobe expanded because it nolonger meets customers’ ex-pectations, the Kroger Co.says. The Cincinnati-basedgrocer is seeking approval of azoning map amendment thatwould allow Kroger to build a50,097-square-foot addition tothe east.

Kroger’s proposed expan-sion of its Anderson Townshipstorewouldmeanwider aisles,more inventory toavoidout-of-stock items, and a larger phar-macy with a third drive-thruwindow. The fuel center wouldstaywhere it is,butparkingforthe store would nearly double,from 419 spaces to 814.

In its application to the An-derson Township Zoning Com-mission, Kroger says the pro-ject, which also includes “afeature development corner atBeechmont Avenue and Wol-fangel Road,” would create adevelopment that would be“the focal point of the Ander-son downtown.”

InarecentmeetingwithAn-derson Township officials,Kroger’s neighbors raised anumber of questions, includ-ing how the project would af-fect local traffic, how muchearly morning noise therewould be from vendors andgarbage collectors, andwheth-er the expansion would in-crease crime and litter.

“We believe that the appli-cation submitted reflects thecomments and suggestions

from the numerous meetingsheld with Anderson Township,adjacent residents, HamiltonCounty engineer, ODOT (OhioDepartment of Transporta-tion) and others,” Krogerwrote in its application to An-derson Township officials.

Kroger’s plan calls for addi-tional landscaping. It also calls

for nearly a dozen traffic im-provements in keeping with atraffic impact analysis ofBeechmontAvenue,WolfangelRoad, Bowen Avenue andTowne Center Way, as well asneighbors’ recommendationson how to improve traffic flow.

Demolition of vacant homesKroger purchased severalyears ago has been completed,and demolition crews wereknocking down a former bodyshop at the corner of Beech-mont Avenue and WolfangelRoad, and a former used cardealership between the bodyshop and the current Krogerstore, Friday, Oct. 10. Con-struction of the expandedKroger is scheduled to startnext fall if the required zoningapprovals are granted, with agrand reopening in fall 2016,according to documents Krog-er submitted to AndersonTownship officials.

The southeast corner of thesite, bordered by WolfangelRoad and Beechmont Avenue,would be developed byKrogerwith yet-to-be-named neigh-borhood oriented businesses

The halls of MercyMontessori werefilled with the sweetsmell of chocolate

when lowerelementary teacherNoreen Sullivan had theschool’s first Chocolate Read-ing Camp.

The camp featured threebooks, “Charlie and the Choco-late Factory, “The ChocolateTouch” and “Chocolate Fever.”

The camp focused on com-prehension, vocabulary and flu-ency.

Each day the children had alesson about a comprehensionskill. The class used a Venn dia-gram to compare and contrastcharacters and predict events.Students also asked questionsusing the five Ws: who, what,when, where, why (and how) tohelp themunderstandwhatwashappening in the book. After-ward, the children practiceddiscussing and using thesestrategies.

Students spent time enhanc-ing their vocabulary by usingthe dictionary to learn newwords fromthebooks.Theclasshad a great time playing vocab-ulary charades, which helpedthem remember the meanings.

Sullivan created a scriptfrom the book, “Chocolate Fe-ver,” and the children practicedre-reading it eachafternoon.OnFriday, parents enjoyed a per-formance featuring these flu-ent readers.

The camp was not all class-room work. Students also en-joyed a number of chocolatethemed crafts. Children madecharacters from “Charlie andthe Chocolate Factory” usinghelium balloons, made charac-ter finger puppets using woolroving and dioramas of scenesfrom that book.

On the final day, studentslearned how to make chocolate.

NEWTOWN—The 2014 season began with ad-versity, which prepared Turpin High School’sgirls soccer team for the challenges it wouldface throughout the year.

Three returning all-conference seniorswerelost for the season with injuries. The Spartanslimped to a 3-2 start, as inexperienced varsityplayers were unexpectedly thrust into majorvarsity roles. Then, Turpin turned it on. TheSpartansdidnot lose in themonthofSeptember.

“We had a ton of injuries early on in our sea-son andwehad to ask a lot of younger players tostep up and play well for us,” head coach NickiSkylis said. “I wasn’t surprised that theystepped up because they are very talented play-ers, but I was surprised just howwell they han-dled the pressure of playing in big Division Ivarsity soccer games.”

The team’s seven seniors, even the three onthe sideline, have been instrumental in settingthe tone throughout the season. Their commit-ment in practice each day has motivated theyounger players and helped them adjust to thehigher level of play.

“All of our seniors have been so great,” saidSkylis. “They all love the gameandhaveput in alot of effort to show the underclassmen what itmeans to be competitors at this level. They playwith a lot of heart and dedication.”

The Spartans turned the corner, postingeight-straight wins in the middle of the season.

NEWTOWN — Outside of theprogram, expectations for Tur-pin High School’s boys soccerprogram were relatively lowentering this season, comparedto recentyears.Even internally,the Spartanswere unsure of ex-actly how much potential theyhad and if they would be able torealize that potential to the ful-lest extent.

The young squad was able tofinish third in the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference and win itsfirst two tournament games.The Spartans entered theirmatch on Monday, Oct. 20,againstMasonwitha9-6-3 over-all mark.

“Most people in the Cincin-nati soccer scene didn’t thinkwewould seemuch success thisyear,” head coach Jamie Har-loff said. “Although we havehad struggled at times duringthe season, I think we have alsosurprised a few teams and peo-ple.”

Last season’s squad featured15 seniors on the 21-man varsityroster. They ledTurpin to an un-

blemished conference recordand a 15-1-4 overall finish, win-ning three postseason matchesbefore being ousted by Mason.This year’s group includes just

Ernst brothers

Brothers, former An-derson Township resi-dents and ArchbishopMcNicholas High Schoolgraduates Austin Ernst(2013) and Eric Ernst(2011) continued theirfootball careers afterleaving the east-sideRocket program.

Austin is a red shirtfreshman quarterbackstudying communica-tions/business at Ohio Do-minican University in Co-lumbus, Ohio. Eric is asenior at UC and will fin-ish his business/sportsmanagement degree in2015. Eric is working withthe football teamwhile heplans to receive amedicalred shirt season as a punt-er.

The brothers and bestfriends developed theirdesire to play a variety ofsports and have lovedcompetition since theirearly years while attend-ing Immaculate Heart ofMary School in AndersonTownship. After IHM,they both continued their

academic and athleticpursuits at McNick andwere team members andteammates in football andbasketball.

Eric graduated fromMcNick in2011andsignedwith UC and Austin grad-uated in 2013 and signedwithODU.Eric hasbeenadean’s list student,All-BigEast Academic teammember,BigEastConfer-ence Champion, LibertyBowl; Belk Bowl partici-pant and a UC honorsnominee.

Austin has been anODUhonors student, Pan-

ther Football AcademicAward recipient, ODUStudent LeadershipCoun-cil nominee, GLIACChampion and a NCAAfootball playoff partici-pant. Austin threw atouchdown pass in hisfirst college game thisseason.

The brothers bothcredit their good fortuneto their love of sports, up-bringing, coaching, hard-working east-side Cincin-nati roots and certainlytheir experiences whileattending IHMandMcNi-cholas High School.

CATCHING UPWITH COLLEGE ATHLETES

Eric Ernst Austin Ernst

The team entered post-season play with a 11-4-1mark, finishing second inthe Eastern CincinnatiConference.

“After losing a couplegames early on, I thinkour team decided theyneeded to step up andstarted to play better as ateam,” said Skylis. “Wegaveupsomebadgoals oncorners and spent sometime working on defend-ing them. Since then, wehave been much better.”

Junior Caroline Minkmissed the team’s firstseven games, and stillmanagedtoscore10goals.That tied her for first onthe team with seniorMaryellen Tully. The re-turn of Mink and otherSpartans who wereshelvedearlier in theyearhelped spark the teamdown the stretch.

“They not only helpedus on the field duringgames, but having a fullroster helps us to preparein practices as well,” saidSkylis.

Injuries especially

hurt the defense, but theSpartans foundaplayer tostep up. In nine matchesfrom Sept. 2 through Oct.1, Turpin allowed justthree goals. Much of thecreditgoes togoalkeepersCaroline Welsh and Bres-lin Sand. Defender Victo-ria Scheu made their jobeasier. Last season, Scheuwas a utility player. Thisyear, the junior was thekey cog of the Spartans’defense.

“This year we askedher to step up big time asthe experienced leader ofour defense,” said Skylis.“She has been more vocalonthefieldandhashelpedus to form a strong backfour. They all playwell to-gether and have reallyjelled as a unit.”

Turpin had a chance toearn the ECC champion-ship, but lost a 2-1 contestto Loveland in the regularseason finale. Fortunate-ly, the Spartans had 11days to recover bothmen-tally and physically be-fore beginning postsea-son play. They respondedwith a shutout victoryover Seton in the openinground of sectional tourna-ment play.

“It’s tough to bounce

back after any loss, butlosing a game like thatwas very tough. We had aweek to prepare for ourfirst tournament game onSaturday and I think thetime helped us,” said Sky-lis. “I think the girls real-ize what is on the line atthis point. Theyhave to goout and play every gamelike it is their last and takeone game at a time.”

That win earned Tur-pin a matchup with sixth-ranked Mount NotreDame on Oct. 21.

seven seniors and sever-al players seeing theirfirst varsity experience.

“When you lose agroup that was as talent-ed as what we had lastyear, the new playersthatmoveduphavebeenfaced with many chal-lenges that they havenever faced before,”said Harloff. “Althoughat times we have strug-gled to handle some ofthe pressure, they havealso stepped up to someof the challenges andseen success.”

Turpin started theseason strong, winningfour of its first fivematches. Then, theywent six weeks beforeagain winning consecu-tive matches. ClosingSeptember with a bigwin over Princeton fol-lowed by a draw at Sev-en Hills gave the Spar-tans momentum head-ing into October.

“I don’t know thatthere is one game thatwas the turningpoint be-cause we have been upand down this season,”said Harloff. “However,that two-game stretchwas two good results forour young team.”

Withoutmuchvarsityexperience, this year’sseven seniors have beenlearning how to lead onthe fly. They know thatthey were tasked withcarrying on program’srich history and tradi-tion, and have respon-ded.

“With our seniorgroup lacking varsityexperience they havehad to find otherways tolead. Our senior class

has led by example ofworkinghardnotonlyonthe field but off,” saidHarloff. “Theyhaverep-resented the programwith such class andshowed the youngerplayers what it takes tobe in the Turpin boyssoccer program.”

The Spartans faced atall task in the sectionalfinal on Oct. 20, againstsecond-ranked Mason,after deadline. Withoutthe pressure of expecta-tions that some past Tur-pin teams have faced inthe postseason, thisyear’ssquadcanplaytherole of spoiler.

“Going into the sec-tional championshipagainst Mason which isone of the best teams inthe state, wewill have toplay one of our bestgames of the year,” Har-loff said before thegame. “We will have tolimit our mistakes andcapitalize on any of ourscoring opportunities.As a coaching staff, wehave stressed to them toplay loose because theyhave nothing to lose.”

Turpin is in a positionto score an upset be-cause it dominatedagainst familiar compe-tition in the first tworounds of sectional play.Consecutive 3-0 winsagainst ECC rivals An-derson and Glen Esteshowed the Spartansthat their hard work ispaying off. They haveweathered the ups anddowns of this year intransition.

“We have talkedabout getting bettereachdayyoucomeout totrainingorplayagame,”said Harloff. “With sucha young group I feel thatwe have so much tolearn.”

The need: The Forest HillsSchool District provides aworld-class education in sub-standard schools. Eight of thenine schools in the Forest HillsSchool District were built be-tween 1959 and 1976 and are indesperate need of repair orreplacement.

Imagine what could be ac-complished if students hadschools that could meet thedemands of today’s educationalneeds.

Issue 4 is a comprehensive,yet cost-effective plan that willprovide extensive renovationsthat are needed to providestudents with a better opportu-nity to compete in a globaleconomy.

Issue 4 will provide fundingto extensively renovate eightschools and rebuild one ele-mentary. These projects will

vastly improvelearning envi-ronments,security, cli-mate control,technology,handicap-accessibility,traffic con-gestion, prop-erty valuesand more.

The path:Over many years and in dozenspublic meetings, the boardresearched and consideredmultiple plans to transformschools, including consolida-tion at all grade levels. Weigh-ing public commentary, dis-trict needs, and financial con-straints, the district deter-mined the viability of eachplan that could address facilityissues.

Some plans were not viablebecause of cost constraints andsome plans would not meet allof the district’s facility needs.

Ultimately, two viable plansemerged: a lower cost plan thatwould renovate eight buildingsand build one new elementary;and a higher-cost plan thatwould renovate two highschools and Nagel and consoli-date six elementaries in tofour. The district then part-nered with a professional mar-ket research consultant topresent those two plans toresidents via a scientific sur-vey to determine which planthe community preferred.

The results of the surveyshowed that the communitysupported the lower cost reno-vation and rebuild plan overthe higher priced consolidationplan.

The bond:Not only will thisbond provide safer, accessiblebuildings, but it will also sig-nificantly improve the equalityof education across the dis-trict. It will provide:

» the gradual implementa-tion of all-day kindergarten atevery elementary;

» improved science class-rooms/labs including a newscience wing at Anderson;

» new flexible learningspaces at every school;

» improved technology inevery school;

» improved learning spacesclimate control;

» auxiliary gyms at bothhigh schools;

» climate control systems inall schools (HVAC upgradesand air conditioning in fourschools that do not have AC);

» redirect maintenance

funds back into the classroomAccording to multiple archi-

tects and engineers who haveextensive experience in schoolconstruction and renovation,all of these projects can real-istically be accomplished with-in the budget of the bond.

Property values: The bond isan investment in our homesand our community. Some ofthe biggest supporters are arearealtors and homebuilders asthey know that this plan willhave a positive impact on thevalue and demand of ourhomes.

Bottom line: This bond issueon the Nov. 4 ballot strikes theperfect balance by providinginnovative, world-class educa-tion with fiscal accountability.

Many reasons to support bond issue/levy

Board’s plan is bestpossible

The Forest Hills School Dis-trict has the highest perfor-mance rating in the state ofOhio – Excellent with Distinc-tion. However, our facilities donot.

Eight of our nine buildingswere rated by the Ohio Facili-ties Construction Commissionas in serious need of renovationor replacement. Our childrenare going to school in trailersand in buildings that do not of-fer appropriate security,whereroofs leak, plumbing backs upand overflows and electricaloutlets are insufficient to sup-port today’s technology needs.It’s hard to believe that condi-tions like theseexist in thecom-munity that we live in.

I am a veteran FHSD girl – Iattended elementary throughgraduation from Turpin HighSchool in1990. I nowhave threechildren attending FHSDschools. I built a home last yearin Anderson Township becauseof our outstanding publicschools. It has been abundantlyclear to me for some time thatwe have to do something to ad-dress theneedsofour facilities.

In the interest of my chil-dren andmycommunity, I prio-ritized my time and investedhours in attending nearly all ofthe special boardmeetings thatwere held to discuss facilitiesthis past year. Based on every-thing that I heard and learnedduring this process, I am con-vinced that the plan proposedfor the November ballot is thebest one possible and makesboth logical and sound financialsense.

Theboardworkedwithin theconstraints that it was underfrom a financial perspective,listened to the communities in-put obtained through multipleavenues and came up with thisplan. It addresses the desires ofthe majority of the communityin a fiscally responsible waywhile upgrading all of our facil-ities and fixing all of the identi-fied issues.

Join me in voting “yes” forissue 4 Nov. 4.

District would controllevy dollars

Rather than provide all ofthe factsand letyoumakean in-formed decision, the “persua-

sivearchitect” fromtheSept.17ForestHillsJournalViewpointssection decided to provide onlypieces of information that sup-port his opinion.

While the persuasive archi-tect did not share exactly howmuch experience he personallyhas renovating schools, he alsodid not mention that the archi-tect the district is workingwithhasmore than 50 years of expe-rience renovating schools, in-cluding schools inOhio.He alsodid not mention that the dis-trict’s architect has personallybeen in every school and evalu-atedeverysystemtodeterminewhat works and what needs tobe replaced; the persuasive ar-chitect has not.

Thepersuasive architect didnot tell you that the OFCC rec-ommendation of $24 per squarefoot for general finishes as-sumes that all general finishesneed to be replaced. If they fol-lowed OFCC, the district wouldhave to replace flooring in ev-ery building, including schoolswho replaced their carpet overthe last two summers.

That is exactly the problemwith takingOFCCmoney; therearestringsattachedandthedis-trict has to spend more of tax-payers’ money. You have tothrow common sense out thewindow and follow the one sizefits all approach; you lose localcontrol. The persuasive archi-tect also did not tell you that thebond issue (as is) allows the dis-trict to exercise discretion inspending your dollars. The per-suasive architectmade it soundas if the district was claiming itcould get everything at 50 per-cent off. Actually, the districtplans to use common sense, beprudent and address ourschool’s needs.

Whenmyalternatorgoesouton my car, I don’t replace thewhole engine; I replace the al-ternator.

The time is now. The plan isright. Vote yes on Issue 4 onNov. 4.

Get levy facts, then votePeople keep askingme, “Are

you for or against this levy?”My answer: “ I’m not sure!”

I am for renovation and im-provement to our facilities, butI believe strongly that we mustconsolidate and reduce ourmaintenance exposure and op-erating costs. Six elementaryschools is excessive and expen-

sive to maintain. One or twohigh schools doesn’t reallymat-ter. What’s best for our chil-dren’s education into the future.

What’s important in thiselection is your knowledge andvote. First you need to reallyunderstand the facts and thenvote.

Facts:1, We can borrow more then

the$103million, ifwefollowthestate guidelines. This plan doesnot follow the state recommen-dations. Also, this bond is for 33½ years, we could use a 40-yearbond.

2, Our facilities are in needof major repairs. “Renovate tonew” is a good plan in somecases, but not all facilities.Some buildings need more andsome less.

3,There isamaintenancetaxlevyhidden in thisbondpropos-al. Tax increase which will notbeusedforrepairs foryearsbe-cause we are renovating everybuilding.

4, The board is planning an-other operating levy within thenext18months.That’swhy theyrushed this bond levy so theyhave some time before the nextlevy.

5, There is no operating costreduction in this plan.

6, The board keeps sayingthis was the plan the peoplewanted but the survey ad-dressed only two options andnever gave the public the thestate approved plans or otherhybrid options.

7, This plan is a “ better thennothing plan “ as stated bymany board members. Shouldwe be settling on a plan for ourkids education ?

8, Wilson Elementary hadthe best state scores in our“worst facility!”

Learn the facts and pleasevote. Make this decision with agood turnout, do not let yourneighbors make the decisionfor you.

Vote for transformationThe Forest Hills School Dis-

trict Board of Education hasadopted transformation as thetheme for its bond levy on theNovember ballot.

The levy seeks to extensive-ly renovate eight of the dis-trict’s nine buildings, bringingthe buildings in question up tocontemporary norms, includ-ing handicap accessibility,

technology capacity, and secu-rity measures.

Other top tier, public schoolsin theGreater Cincinnati area –Sycamore City Schools, MasonCity Schools and Wyoming, tonamea few–have alreadycom-mitted to bringing their schoolsinto the 21stCentury.Thesedis-tricts have enjoyed the eco-nomic benefits of modern com-munity schools through in-creased development and ris-ing property values.

The Forest Hills Schoolshave practiced remarkable fis-cal restraint and prudencethroughout the past decadeswhile time and modernity re-lentlesslymarched on. Now thecommunity at large must seizethis window of opportunity tokeep pacewith the standards ofprivate and public sector oper-ating procedures.

Over the past five years, in-terest rates for municipalbonds are as low as they havebeen since the late 1960s. Thismakes thecurrentmarket envi-ronment a particularly attrac-tive time to finance a bond levy.The private sector has certain-ly recognized theadvantagesofthe current environment. Overthe last few years, there hasbeen a wave of refinancing, ascorporations restructure theirdebt obligations tobenefit fromthe current low interest rate re-gime.

Transformation isdefinedas“a thorough and drasticchange.” We applaud the fore-sight of the Forest Hills SchoolDistrict in recognizing theneedfor just such a change in ourdistrict’s schools - but recogni-tion without action will not suf-fice. Vote yesNov. 4 for a trans-formation in thepresent and fu-ture of Anderson Township.

Bond issue/levy a goodinvestment

Even though I have been re-tiredclose to twoyears, theFor-est Hills School District is stillnear and dear to my heart.

So naturally, when I am outin the community and I hearpeople discuss our schools, myears perk up. Last week whileout to dinner, I overheard 1young couple share with theirdinnerpartners thepurchaseoftheir new home in the ForestHills district. They said thatthey specifically bought the

house there because they wanttheir children in the ForestHills district.

As a building principal, Iwould give tours to prospectiveparents and heard that themerepeated over and over. TheForest Hills School District’sreputation for excellencedraws people to purchasehomes in Anderson Townshipand Newtown.

The one concern I wouldhear from parents during thetours was the condition of theschoolbuildings.Parentswouldspecifically ask about healthand safety features that arecurrently lacking inmost of ourschools. The upcoming bond is-sue would remedy those con-cerns in all nine buildings andkeep our schools competitive indrawing young families to ourcommunity.

As a retiree with no childrenin school, my husband and I arethoughtful when asked to addmore property tax to our home.However, I knowwhen it comestime to sell, we will appreciatethe value of our home due togood quality schools.

Supporting the upcomingbond issue will not only investin the school district and thecommunity as a whole, but itwill be an investment in valueofyourownhome.Most of all, itwill provide a high quality andsafe environment for the com-munity’s greatest asset – ouryoung people.

Oct. 15 questionWhat is your favorite

local Haunted House orHalloween display? Whatdo you like about it?

“In 1970 the nation’svery first HalloweenHaunted House ap-peared in Cincinnati. TheSycamore-Deer ParkJaycees in conjunctionwith old radio stationWSAI were responsiblefor it. DennyMcKeown,the garden expert, wasthe mastermind of theproject. He asked mybrother and I to help himwith it.

“My brother was ateacher at Elder andsupplied most of theghoulies and ghostiesthat bumped through thehouse with his students.

“I helped with thevarious ghastly exhibitsand went on to designmany of the next 13houses. They made a lot

of money for the char-ities they supported.

“But others were get-ting into the hauntingbusiness. A lot of charita-ble institutions wereinterested in the phe-nomenal profits.

“Denny and I becameinvolved with the BobHope House, but the

very best WSAI HauntedHouse was the one at theDolly Cohen Mansion onVictory Parkway. It wasspectacular and my fa-vorite.”

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about

the Ebola virus? Whatprecautions are you takingand what should publichealth officials be doingto prevent an epidemic?

“My worry about theEbola virus comes fromthe positions that thegovernment and the CDChave taken, which ap-pear to be completelypolitical rather thanprudent. How unfair andirresponsible of the gov-ernment to send 3,000 ofour precious militarymembers to performwhat they describe as

construction work, butwhich will still put themin close proximity to thetransmission of the Ebo-la virus. Medical person-nel who knowingly makethe decision to go workin these countries are tobe commended, but thebottom line is that theseare their own choices.

“Further, I think thatincoming flights withpassengers from theaffected countriesshould be curtailed untilthe situation in thoseregions is under control.The battle needs to befought where the on-slaught exists. Thethought of an event suchas that in Dallas beingrepeated in one or nu-merous other cities hereis terrifying. How easilythe virus could be spreadas still more people couldbe exposed. The CDC isnot taking into consider-ation the fact that not all

hospitals have adequate-ly prepared facilities andstaff, nor the concerns ofthe aircraft cleaningcrews who could be atrisk after passengerspossibly not yet exhib-iting full blown symp-toms have deplaned.

“The argument thathealth care workers mayneed to return to the U.S.is easily solved and con-trolled by the use ofprivate or military trans-port. In any case, asthings stand due to thedecisions of the govern-ment and the CDC, theprecaution I have decid-ed on is to cancel myplans to fly to Houstonfor the foreseeable fu-ture.”

S.N.

“I am not worriedabout the Ebola viru-s...yet. Certainly thisvirus is not somethingwith which any of us

want to trifle. Unfortu-nately, the countries inAfrica where it has runrampant (multiple times)do not have the sophisti-cation, full understand-ing or control of theirpopulation to properlycontain such a virulentmonster as Ebola andthat is why it has killedmore than 4,000 peoplein that region in a shortperiod of time. We do. Ihope.

“We have all seen themovies that portray whatcan happen when a high-ly contagious ‘bug’ getslose and the mass hyste-ria it can quickly create.Sure, those movies arefiction, and one wouldhope that is ever thecase, but howmanytimes have we seen fic-tion from years pastbecome a current reali-ty?”

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viaemail. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

As a resident who hasspent the majority of mylife in Hamilton County, Ibelieve we are blessedwith a wealth of greatneighborhoods that ap-peal to almost everyinterest.

Wehaveseenexcitingdevel-opmenton TheBanks,along theI-71 cor-ridor andGreenTown-ship just

to name a few. Many ofthese communities areexperiencing new devel-opment, attracting newresidents and addingjobs. We have manyunique neighborhoodsthroughout HamiltonCounty that offer greatamenities, with reason-able housing, shortercommutes and a modestcost of living comparedto other parts of thecountry.

We don’t hear enoughgood news about Hamil-

ton County, but we actu-ally had an increase inpopulation over the pastcouple years, the largestof any of our surround-ing counties. Along witha net increase in jobs, Iam very optimistic thatthis trend will continue.

As our nation’s econo-my improves, HamiltonCounty is well positionedto prosper, if governmentlistens to its residentsand business owners.One key priority of mineis reducing governmentred tape and regulation,so people with new ideascan succeed. Peoplestarting their careersand businesses will driveour economy, so yourvision and voice is criti-cal as we move HamiltonCounty forward in theyears to come.

My wife and I havechosen to raise our fam-ily and build our futurein Hamilton County and Iam honored to serve asyour county commission-er.

Hamilton Countypoised to prosper

ChrisMonzelCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

As a taxpayer andvoter, what do I wantfrommy elected offi-cials?

The answer is “com-mon sense.” That doesn’tseem too much to ask.

Toooften wearedis-appoint-ed bythose weelect. Incon-trast, Ihavetried tolive up

to the trust HamiltonCounty voters haverepeatedly placed in me.

Immediately on tak-ing office I stopped thelong-standing practiceof deducting politicalcontributions from em-ployee pay checks. Mostother county officesfollowed my lead about ayear later.

After that, my firsttask was to restore con-fidence in property valu-ations. I did that by re-moving political consid-erations from setting

values, by setting train-ing and certificationgoals for our appraisalstaff and by holdingneighborhood confer-ences across the countyduring the six-year reap-praisals so propertyowners could reviewtheir tentative new val-ues.

Then I establishedour Finance Departmentas an honest, indepen-dent check and balanceon every county depart-ment for which wemakepayments. By writingthe county’s checks wecan spot questionablevouchers. And we did. Inone instance our refusalto pay for a reported650-mile round trip toCleveland (which isabout 250 miles fromhere) brought signifi-cant, lasting changes incounty travel policies.

Ours was one of thefirst metropolitan areasin the country to have aproperty search website.By making public rec-ords available we havereduced the opportunityfor corruption and savedcountless trips to our

office by professionalswho need and use ourinformation every day.The website allows us tocommunicate with citi-zens and even providesestimates of individualcosts of proposed taxlevies. Our IT Depart-ment is one of the best inthe region, constantlyupdating our service andoften called to assistother county offices.

But most important tome in keeping faith withthe voters was my prom-ise to operate the Audi-tor’s office in a profes-sional, business-likeway. I did that by reduc-ing our staff from174employees when I tookoffice to 79 today. Thiswas accomplishedthrough attrition andcross-training over theyears.

By planning ahead wewere able to avoid cut-backs and layoffs whenthe economy tanked in2008.

My commitment torespecting taxpayer’smoney made me thefirst Hamilton CountyAuditor to return un-

spent funds to localcommunities, schooldistricts and taxingentities. The Real EstateAppraisal Fund comesfrom a small portion ofevery tax levy. I couldhave legally spent everypenny. I didn’t. Twoyears ago I returnedover $16 million, a rec-ord amount.

Finally, I have estab-lished a culture of citi-zen service in the Audi-tor’s office. One observ-er recently said we were“the gold standard oftransparency amonglocal government of-fices.”

The best way to ex-plain it is that I believeno one “works for me” inour office. We all worktogether for you. I havebeen honored by yoursupport over the yearsand ask for your voteagain this year. I lookforward to the chal-lenges ahead and tomeeting themwith“common sense.”

our children, but also afiscally responsibleboard.

Forest Hills Treasur-er Rick Toepfer and theboard members havelistened to the public.They’ve reduced headcount, worked with theunion to get contractsthat are fair for bothsides and developedcreative solutions torising health care costs.

Nine years later, mywife and I are empty-nesters with no childrenin the school system.While I may not have adirect connection withthe school system, I stillhave a vested interest inliving in an area with asolid, highly rankedschool system. When Isell my home, it will bemuch easier to sell in anarea where people seekto live rather than haveto live.

While I agree withthe infrastructure im-provements the bondwill address and feel the

website developed for itprovides information onhow the money will bespent, the important factbeing overlooked is howToepfer and the boardhave gotten their fi-nancial house in order.

Please consider vot-ing for the upcomingbond issue. If you’relooking for facts, con-tact Toepfer or anyboard member to getinformation to help youmake your decision.

Todd ObbieAnderson Township

We need cure, notbandage

I cannot imagine thatthere is parent in theForest Hills School Dis-trict who does not be-lieve or know that weneed to address the is-sue(s) of our facilities.

I also cannot imaginethat parents would notbe willing to support(financially) to improveour facilities. You see,the parents of this estab-lished district stand

behind our schools, butthey also want to be surethat their schools arewhat they should be.

I honestly hate to bethe one marked as a“non-supporter” of thisbond issue; however, Isincerely cannot wholeheartedly support thisproposition.

A 32.5-year loan/taxincrease seems to be arisky investment to me.You and I will be payingon this for years andyears to come long afterour students graduate.Hopefully, grandchil-dren will go through thisdistrict but it needs tobe up to standard. Par-tial compliances withOFCC is not acceptable.One school being betterin one area (i.e. accessi-bility, technology, venti-lation, etc.) than anotherschool is not acceptable(or fair to tax-payers).

In the hospital, wecertainly do not getaway with “partial”JCAHO accreditation. Ifa child breaks botharms; we certainly don’toperate and cast onearm and then tell themthe other armwill have

to wait. The district andcommunity needs toattract new families tothe district – not justattract to one specificbuilding (school) orneighborhood. We areone district, not individ-ual schools. We are adistrict of excellence, sowe need to display thatin all aspects, evenbuildings. New or old,they need to be fullyOFCC compliant.

I have to agree andsay it is time to do“something,” but the“something” needs to beright. We don’t need aBand-aid, we need acure.

Ruth Grant-BaileyAnderson Township

Needs moreanswers fromdistrict

I am a former teacherand current parent inthe Forest Hills SchoolDistrict.

I have supported thisschool district 100 per-cent for 16 years and ithas been a hard processto come to terms with

the fact that I cannot ingood conscience vote forthis upcoming bond.

From the beginning, Ifelt this bond lackeddetails on what it wouldactually accomplish.Yes, I want a betterlearning environmentfor my children, but Iwant to knowwhat I amgetting before I writethe check. I have onmany occasions contact-ed the bond committeewith questions to helpclarify details on whereall this money will begoing. Never once haveI been contacted back.

Questions such as,“Where will all the newlearning spaces be go-ing?” “What is thesquare footage of thosespaces and how is therea budget for this is thereis no plan?” “How can itbe called a ‘transforma-tion’ if none of the build-ings will be brought upto standard?” “Why isthere no contingencybudget for when issuesarise and work goesover budget?” “Why onthe master plans does itsay ‘selective’ upgradesto handicap access when

you also say ‘all areas ofevery building?’ Theseare just a few of manyquestions that I havetried to get clarified.This district has no an-swers.

I have read all theinformation on bothsides of this issue. Ihave researched,checked facts, andspoke to many people toget all the information Icould to make an in-formed decision. Thefact is, this bond isvague, unequal, andbelow the standard thatwe as a communityshould be expecting.32.5 years is a very longtime to paying on some-thing that really is notgoing to fix all the issuesthe district has beenignoring for so long.

There is a better way.Ask our board to goback andmake thisright. It does not have tobe five more years, un-less the board choosesnot to make it a priority.On Nov. 4 I will be send-ing them that messageby voting no.

OCTOBER 22, 2014 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • B3LIFE

Pat Donaldson,resident since 2009

CE-0000606826

Well, it’s done. Theentire veggie garden isnow nothing but a flatfield, ready to be plowedunder for the winter.Pumpkins and gourds

have re-placed thepots ofherbs andflowersnear thedoorways.Just forfun, I put alittlepumpkindisplay bythe chick-en coop. It

will be interesting to seehow long it’s undisturbedby the nightly four-footedmarauders.

I’m hoping to get toour local farmers’ mar-ket this week to makethis really good and well-tested recipe for applebutter. What I love aboutthis apple butter is itspurity, just apples, juice,sugar if you like, andwarming spices. Butthere is a secret ingredi-ent…

Crockpot applebutter

Wow, this recipe hasbeen making the roundslately. My oldest and bestfriend, Carol Spry Vanov-er (you probably feel likeyou know her, I’ve men-tioned her that much!)first told me about this.Carol received a bunch ofapples from a friend andmade apple butter. Ex-cept for her “secret”ingredient, I couldn’tbelieve Carol’s is thesame recipe I used yearsago when we had an ap-

ple orchard. Wonderfulfor sharing with familyand friends. One otherthought: I don’t add asmuch sugar as it calls for.

14 nice sized apples2 cups apple juice or

pure apple cider1 cup sugar or how-

ever much youwant,for each pint of sievedcooked fruit (see below)

1 teaspoon cinna-mon, 1/2 teaspoon eachground allspice andcloves for each pint ofsieved cooked fruit (seebelow)

1/2 cup “secret” in-gredient: sweet whitewine - Carol usedMos-cato (optional)

DirectionsCore and quarter ap-

ple (do not peel). Com-

bine with juice insprayed crockpot. Coverand cook on low for 10-12hours or high for 2 - 4hours. When fruit is ten-der, you’ve cooked it longenough. Put through foodmill to remove peel.

Measure cooked fruitand return to crock pot.For each pint of fruit, addup to 1 cup of sugar orother sweetener, 1 tea-spoon cinnamon, 1/2 tea-spoon allspice and 1/2teaspoon cloves. Stirwell. Cover and cookagain on high for 6 - 8hours, stirring aboutevery 2 hours.

Remove cover after 3hours or more to allow tocook down to a very thickpuree. Add wine duringlast hour of cooking.

Spoon into hot sterilizedjars and process accord-ing to boiling water bathcanning method or coolcompletely and store infreezer up to 1 year orfrig up to a month. Makesclose to 6 cups.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Use a combination ofapples if you can, somesweet, some tart. Theonly one I’d steer clear ofis red delicious since theflavor doesn’t carrythrough.

Readers want to know:Floating “severed hands”for Halloween punch.

Fill clear plasticgloves (not powdered)with your favorite bever-age. I like red fruit punch

or something clear. Ifdesired, before pouringinto glove, stir in a fewdrops of red food col-oring. Tie gloved handwith a rubber band, se-curely tightened. Placeon cookie sheet. If youlike, place over a smallplastic bowl to create a“clutching” hand. Freezeuntil hard. To removefrom glove, cut belowknot and peel back glove.To assure you don’t breakoff fingers, use scissorsto cut around fingers.Place in punch right be-fore serving.

The Ultimate MeatResource: Cook’s Illus-tratedMeat book. Nokidding, put this hardcover beauty on yourwish list, or grab a copy

now. This comprehensive“bible” of meat cookeryis just what I’d expectfrom Cook’s. You’ll feellike you’re in a cookingclass with each recipe,they are that detailed andtested umpteen timesuntil the word that de-scribes the recipe is “per-fect”. From slow roastedbone-in pork roast to theperfect roast turkey andeverything in between,nothing is left to chance.There’s also a wealth oftips throughout.

Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a clinical psycholo-gist and instructor inHar-vardMedical School’sDe-partment of Psychiatry,will be the keynote speak-er at the Early ChildhoodEducation Symposium atThe Summit CountryDaySchool Saturday, Oct. 25.

The author of “TheBigDisconnect: ProtectingChildhood andFamilyRe-lationships in the DigitalAge,” Steiner-Adair is asought-after speaker atschools, professional or-ganizations and confer-ences for health profes-sionals.

She has appeared on“The Today Show,” “GoodMorning America,” TheDiscoveryChannel, CNN,PBS and NPR and hasbeen quoted by manynewspapers and maga-zines.

A featured speakerwill be Beth Nowak, alongtime Wyoming kin-dergarten teacher andfounder and CEO of Giv-ing Families, who willgive a reprise of herTEDx Talk, “Helping OurLittlest Helpers.” JudyFeeney, faculty memberof Giving Tree Montesso-ri School, ColoradoSprings, Colorado, willpresent a special teacherworkshop on “A PeaceCurriculum Made Sim-ple.”

This will be the sev-enth annual Early Child-hood Education Sympo-sium presented by TheSummit and registrationto date is outpacing lastyear. The event is freeand open to the public, of-feredasacommunity ser-vice forparentsand train-ing ground for teachers.

“Parents who have at-tended our past sympo-siums tell us that momsand dads are hungry forpractical ideas that theycan take home and useright away,” said KelleySchiess, assistant head ofschool for enrollmentmanagement and specialprojects at The Summit.“Dr. Steiner-Adair, BethNowak and our other pre-senters will pack a lot of

informa-tion into ahalf-day,so parentscan makethe most oftheirmorningwith us.

The symposium also at-tracts a fair number ofteachers from otherschoolswho can earn con-tinuing education cred-its.”

In her keynote ad-dress, “The Big Discon-nect,” Steiner-Adair willshare research and real-life stories from her clin-ical work with educators,parents and students inorder to offer insightsand advice on how to sus-tain close family relation-ships.

Those relationships,she says, are threatenedby distractions caused byeasy access to the Inter-net and social media.

“It’s the parent para-dox of the moment,” shesays. “Never before has itbeenpossible tobesocon-nected to those we love –our children, our families– and yet we seem to belosing touch with eachother in some essentialways.”

The effect of technol-ogy has transformed ev-ery facet of modern lives– from work, to home, tovacation time away, shesays.

“While parents andchildren are enjoyingswift and constant accessto everything and every-one on the Internet, theyare simultaneously strug-gling to maintain a mean-ingful personal connec-tion with each other intheir own homes.”

Steiner-Adair willmake two additional pres-entations at the EarlyChildhood EducationSymposium. In a break-out session for fathersonly called “Dads andDaughters,” shewillhigh-light critical research ongirl’s development fromearly childhood throughyoung adulthood and ex-plain how girls experi-

ence stress and harmful,gender-specific mes-sages and offer dads spe-cific strategies to helptheir daughters be resil-ient, healthy and strong.

“Although we hear themost about fathers andsons, research suggeststhat fathersplayaunique,significant and surpris-ing role influencing theirdaughter’s motivation,ambition, academic andathletic success, alongwith psychological well-

being and healthy rela-tionships,” she said.

During lunch, Steiner-Adair will present “GotGrit: The Challenge ofRaising Smart, Savvy andSocially Intelligent Chil-dren.”

In this talk, Steiner-Adair will address strate-gies foreducatingall agesto be culturally savvy andliterate while equippingthem with the charactertraits and intellectualskills that will enable

them to live to their fullpotential.

Hours of non-academ-ic learning that takesplaceonlinearebombard-ing kids with popularmessages, images andvalues that are often theopposite of school andfamily values. Distractedfocus can put children atriskofmakingpsycholog-icallyriskyandunhealthychoices. Steiner-Adairdiscusses how parentscan raise conscientious

and resilient children.Nowak will give a re-

prise of her TEDx Talksabout children’s intrinsicmotivation to be compas-sionate, generous andhelpful in a general ses-sion for everyone andwillalso present “Using Tech-nology forSocialGood” ina breakout session. No-wak is an award-winningeducatorwhohas collabo-rated with Yale’s Centerfor Emotional Intelli-gence.
