BLUE ASH — A businessmanwho has run into some oppositionto his proposal to develop anapartment complex in downtownBlue Ash says his plan is tailor-made for the “D-1” zoning of thesite.

“The ‘D’ in D-1 stands fordowntown,” Hills Propertiesprincipal Ian Guttman said Sept.19.

“When you hear the worddowntown, what do you think of?

“I think of a vibrant and ener-getic place due to lots of peopleandbuildings, inwhich thesepeo-plecanwork,playand live,”Gutt-man said.

“49 Hundred (the name of theapartment complex) is the keyupscale living component that

downtown Blue Ash needs tomake the ‘work and play’ happen.

“This is why the D-1 code al-lows for it and the 2005 Blue Ash

town center concept redevelop-ment plan suggests that this siteshould be residential,” Guttmansaid.

Indian Hill is preparing towork on the landslide on WeilRoad in the coming week, withthe landslides on Camargo andDemar roads being watchedclosely in case repairs areneeded sooner.

An additional landslide onWalton Creek Road will be re-paired by village employees inthe fall.

Village Project ManagerGeorge Kipp said work at theWeil Road landslide is expect-

ed to begin within a week andwill take approximately fivedays to complete.

“We’ll bemovingaheadwiththat very quickly,” City Man-ager Mike Burns said.

Indian Hill CouncilwomanMolly Barber said the project,which includes installing a ga-bion basket extension, willforce workers to close a por-tion of Weil Road for the fivedays the work is being com-pleted.

A gabion basket is a rectan-gular wire mesh basket that isused in embankments or re-taining walls to help preventerosion.

As for the village’s otherthree landslides, which are at

Camargo, Demar and WaltonCreek roads,Kipp said thepub-lic works department will con-tinue to monitor those areasfor issues that could arise.

However, he said the villageis keeping a close eye on itsbudget, and being careful notto commit to projects thataren’t absolutely necessary.

“We don’t want to proceed ifwe don’t have to,” Kipp said.

Publicworks employees areexpected to install a gabionbasket at the Walton Creeklandslide in the comingmonths. Kipp said the publicworks department is busywitha number of other responsibil-ities, but will begin the projectwhen their schedule allows.

Indian Hill is preparing to fix a landslide alongside Weil Road. Work will include installing a gabionbasket, which is a cage filled with soil or sand that allows water to flow through while preventing soilfrom moving and causing a landslide. ROB DOWDY/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS

“Wehavegreat expectationsfor ourselves, for our studentsand the families with whomweinteract every day. It is a privi-lege to work in a district withsuch caring and supportive

families andbusiness part-ners.

“It takes allof us workingtogether tomake a schoolsystem great,”James said.

Although theSycamore Com-munity Schools’first priority isto educate stu-dents, Jamessaid, the districtalso is commit-ted to beinggood financialstewards.

TimLomison onSept.17appealed on behalf of him-self and fellow BarwynAcres residents an Aug. 22decision by the Blue AshDowntown Design ReviewCommittee approvingHills’ proposal to build thecomplex with 218 apart-ments.

“We believe that theDowntown Design ReviewCommittee failed to per-form their duties as pre-scribed to them in the D-1code,” Lomison said.

“That committee failedto ensure that the proposalsatisfied the D-1 zoningcode and the intent of theplan documents refer-enced in the zoning codeand brought in by ordi-nance by city council.”

Lomison said in the ap-peal that some of the viola-tions relate to the pro-posed apartment com-plex’s impact on the adja-cent neighborhood,harmonywith neighboringstructures, communitysupport, density and floor-area ratios.

Guttman argued thatthe 49 Hundred more thanmeets Blue Ash code.

For example, Guttmansaid, the code requires hisproposed apartment build-ings to be set back a mini-mum of 10 feet from theBarwyn Acres neighbor-hood and the 49 Hundredbuildings would be setback about 46 and 55 feetfrom the neighborhood.

Charleston Apartmentson Hunt Road, which abutthe former Thriftway/Kroger site, earlier ap-pealed theBlueAshDown-town Design Review Com-mittee’s Aug. 22 decisionapproving Hills Proper-ties’ 218-unit apartment-complex proposal.

apartment complex seethings differently.

The Blue Ash Board ofZoning Appeals will onMonday, Oct. 8, hear theappeals filed by Lomisonand the Charleston Apart-ments at a meeting to be-gin at 7 p.m. in the BlueAsh Municipal & SafetyCenter on Cooper Road.

The 218-unit apart-ment-complex proposal isthe third thatHills Proper-ties, which is based inBlueAsh, has filed with BlueAsh.

Hills’ first proposal in-cluded 235 apartmentunits and its second 224.

Hills Properties has ap-pealed to Blue Ash CityCouncil to reverse a June11decision by theBlueAshBoard of Zoning Appealsrejecting Hills’ 235-unitapartment-complex pro-posal.

Hills Properties did notappeal after the Blue AshDowntown Design ReviewCommittee rejected the224-unit proposal July 11.

Since the218-unit apart-ment-complex proposal isexpected to eventually beappealed to Blue Ash CityCouncil by one side or theother, city council has de-cided to delay making anydecisions until all propos-als have made their waythrough the city’s adminis-trative vetting process.

Blue Ash City Councilwill consider all appealsmade to it at a single meet-ing sometime in the future.

mandate requiring them tokeep growth in generalfund operating expendi-tures tonomore thananav-erage annual rate of 2.5percent in fiscal years 2006through 2013.

Sycamore CommunitySchools has been able tohold that growth to about1.2percent fromfiscalyear2006tofiscalyear2012,We-ber said.

She said Sycamore metthe commitment in the2011-2012 school year byfreezing salaries for teach-ers and administrators,eliminating teaching andsupport positions and en-acting health-benefit

changes that includeddropping the most expen-sive plan, offering a high-deductible option with ahealth-savings account andincreasing deductibles andco-pays.

“Last year, I noted thatwewill not ask the commu-nity to provide additionalfunds for our operationsbefore 2012, at least aneight- year span betweenrequests for additional tax-es for theday-to-dayopera-tions of our schools,” We-ber said.

“The board has extend-ed thiscommitmentuntil atleast 2013, andwewillworkto delay a request for addi-tional taxes even longer.”

Weber said the Syca-more Community Schools’budget practices allowed ittoweather the loss of about$2.4 million in state appro-priations during the 2011-2012schoolyearandwill al-low it to weather the loss of

another $1.5 million thisschool year.

Ohio legislators haveput the planned phase-outof the tangible personal-property tax reimburse-ment after 2013 on hold, al-lowing Sycamore to main-tain $9 million annually inreimbursements instead ofa $12 million loss per yearby 2019, Weber said.

Colleen Greissinger ofBlue Ash, an unsuccessfulcandidate for the Syca-more Board of Educationlast year, wasn’t buyingmuch of what educatorssaid in their “State of theDistrict” speeches.

“Our board may com-municate what they want,and even believewhat theysay, but the facts remain,”Greissinger said. “As-sumptions of higher pay,moreexperienceand lowerstudent-to-teacher ratioscontributing to better stu-dent results is an unproven

myth.“The real issue for the

Sycamore Board of Educa-tion, as our electedcommu-nity advocates, is to deter-mine and have the will tolive within their meansnowwhile having a $40mil-lion cash surplus cushion.

“Our state of thedistrictmay be ‘alive and thriving,’but it is not being run like abusiness,” Greissingersaid. “Education is not acharity, and based on thefacts and figures, theseboard members are not be-ing ‘careful stewards of re-sources’ as they say andseem to believe.

“FormerAmerican Fed-eration of Teachers Presi-dent Al Shanker once said,‘When schoolchildren startpaying union dues, that’swhen I’ll start represent-ing the interests of school-children.’

“Do not be fooled, it isstill about the adults.”

Hills Properties pro-posal for a 235-unit apart-ment complex is the firstof three proposals Hillshas presented toBlueAsh.

Hills filed a secondpro-posal that included 224apartment units and athird that included 218.

Hills Properties did notappeal after the Blue AshDowntownDesignReview

BLUE ASH — Blue AshCity Council voted unani-mously Sept. 13 to delayhearing any appeals re-garding a homebuildingcompany’s proposal tobuild an apartment com-plex downtown until all ofthem have completed anadministrative vetting.

City council was sched-uled to hear an appealHills Properties’ filed toreverse a June 11 decisionby the Blue Ash Board ofZoning Appeals, which re-jected Hills’ proposal tobuild a 235-unit apartmentcomplex at the formerThriftway/Kroger site onHunt Road.

An attorney for HillsProperties, which is basedin Blue Ash, said in anAug. 29 letter to the citythat Hills wanted the ap-peal rescheduled forThursday, Sept. 27.

After an earlier re-quest of Hills Properties,Blue Ash City Council re-scheduled the appeal fromAug. 9 to Sept. 13.

“This is the second con-tinuance request submit-ted by Hills Properties ontheir own appeal and nei-ther request included areason for needing a con-tinuance,” Blue Ash resi-dent Tim Lomison said be-fore the Sept. 13 city coun-cil meeting.

Lomison is a spokes-man for a group of resi-dents who live in the Bar-wyn Acres neighborhoodnext to the former Thrift-way/Kroger site and whooppose Hills’ plans for anapartment complex.

“We would like to see

Hills Properties either ar-gue their appeal if theystill want this proposal toproceed or withdraw theirappeal rather than drag-ging out the process con-sidering the Board of Zon-ing Appeals hearing wasthree months ago,” Lomi-son said.

Hills Properties’ prin-cipal Ian Guttman couldnot be reached for com-ment and no one repre-senting Hills was at theSept. 13 Blue Ash CityCouncil meeting.

Mayor Mark Webertold the audience, whichincluded about 20 mem-bers of Lomison’s group,that legal counsel forHillsProperties was in Colora-do.

Councilman JamesSumner subsequentlymade a motion to tableHills’ appeal until all re-lated appeals have woundtheir way through BlueAsh’s administrative re-views – thus enabling allissues to be addressed in asingle appeals hearing, tothe benefit of all.

Joining Sumner in a

Committee rejected the224-unit proposal July 11.

The Downtown DesignReview Committee ap-proved Hills’ 218-unit pro-posal Aug. 22.

Lomison said he plansto appeal that decision totheBlueAshBoardofZon-ing Appeals on behalf ofhimself and his neighbors.

Charleston Apart-ments on Hunt Road,which abuts the formerThriftway/Kroger site,has already appealed theDowntownDesignReviewCommittee’s Aug. 22 deci-sion.

Charleston Apart-ments is “going to sufferspecial damage if the pro-posed plan is approved be-cause the massive in-crease in multi-familyhousing at the Hills prop-erty will dilute and frac-ture the market for multi-family housing in down-town Blue Ash,” Charles-ton says in its appeal.

“At this time, units atCharleston’s property arevacant. The fact of suchvacancy is evidence of

lack of demand for multi-family residential apart-ment units in the area ofthe Hills property.”

Four Ursuline Academy ju-niors attended the INTERal-liance of Greater CincinnatiTechnology Camp this past sum-mer, and earned significantawards for their achievements.

Daley Scott of Kenwood wastheprojectmanagerofher team,which won the best in design fortheir project. In addition, Scottwon the Fifth Third LeadershipAward and Ms. INTERallianceAward, and shewas chosen to beon the INTERalliance Leader-ship Council.

Ursuline technology teacherAnn Brinkmann said Scott andher classmates were well pre-pared for the camp; Scott tookthe Introduction to Media Pro-duction class in her freshmanyear and Introduction to WebDesign class in her sophomoreyear. The other students who at-tended the camp were ErinGeorge of Deerfield Township,Lisa Ruggerio of Blue Ash andShannon Dowling of Kenwood.

Scott said the benefits of thecamp were far-reaching.

“I felt like my experiencewith the INTERalliance campreally benefited me because Iwas able to experience what itwould be like to work for manydifferent high-ranking busi-nesses in Cincinnati. I will takeeverything I learned from thiscamp into the rest of high school,college, and the work force,”Scott said.

George echoed these senti-ments.

“The INTERallianceSummerCareers Camp was a great op-portunity and experience. It wascool tomeet employees at differ-ent ‘big name’ companies suchas P&G,GE and Cintas. I was theproject manager for my team(Team GE) project, TOBE,which was a week-long task inwhich we had to create a busi-ness that would employ peoplewith disabilities.”

She further explained that atthe end of the week her teampresented their ideas in front ofa panel of judges as well as theirparents. The judges chose thebest business and each memberon that team won $100.

“My team won the TOBEcompetition. I hadagreat timeatcamp, and I made a lot of newfriends. I’m excited to continuetoworkwith this organizationby

being on the INTERallianceLeadership Council,” Georgesaid.

INTERalliance is an Informa-tion Technology and Businessdriven summer camp for stu-dents entering into their junioryear. The students gain access toFortune 500 companies in theTristate area where they com-pete in IT/Business related chal-lenges and learn about excitingcareer options in their home-town.

UA facultymoderator for IN-TERalliance Jeanine Boutierre,says that camp participantslearn how technology is revolu-tionizing businesses locally, na-tionally and internationally.

“Whether it’s seeing exam-ples of how teleconferencingcan increase the speed and easeofworkingacross longdistancesor learning that businesses willhire hackers to find holes intheir security, teenagersareget-ting real-life experience in howtechnology helps businessessolve real 21st century problemsand being given the challenge tokeep raising the bar as their gen-eration develops into theworld’snext leaders. The camp stressesthe need for innovation and cre-ative thinkers in the businessworld and tries to expose stu-dents to the blossoming careeropportunities for those who canthink ‘outside the box,’” saysBoutierre.

Regular school attendance isan important part of makingsure each student receives themost out of his or her education.Studies showthat attendancedi-rectly impacts academicachievement. It also impactshow much funding schools re-ceive from the state.

The state distributes itsshare of school funding basedon student enrollment figuresreported during the first fullweek of October (Oct. 1-5).These enrollment figures arepulled from student attendancedata that is collected duringwhat is commonlyreferred toas“Count Week.” As such, Syca-more Community Schools asksparents to make every effort tohave their students in schoolduring Count Week.

Students who are absent dueto a doctor’s appointment, per-sonal illness or a religious holi-day observance during CountWeek will be considered “ex-cused absences” and will notnegatively impact funding if theparent calls the school atten-dance line to report the absenceand, upon the student’s return toschool, sends a note to the mainoffice stating the date(s) andreason for the absence(s).

A vacation may be declaredan “excused absence” if theschool principal is informed ofthose plans prior to the begin-ning of the vacation. Absencesthat are not reported by the par-ent and do not have a note to ex-plain the absence during CountWeek will be considered “unex-cused absences” by the state.

Attendanceweek helps setstate funding

SYCAMORE TWP. — To beranked in the state polls, a teamis usually clicking on all cylin-ders and for Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy, that’s cer-tainly the case.

With an explosive offenseand a defense that’s allowedfewer than10 points a game, theEagles find themselves rankedNo. 10 in the most recent Divi-sion IV poll.

The squad got its seasonkicked off with a big wins overarea rival Madeira — the teamCHCA booted from the postsea-son last year.

The victory helped set thetone for the season, according tohead coach Eric Taylor.

“That was a huge win for ourprogram against a great oppo-nent in an awesome atmos-phere,” Taylor said. “It was agreat spark…”

In itsmost recentwin, theEa-gles trounced Cincinnati Coun-try Day, 44-0, Sept. 1. With thevictory, the Eagles started theseason 5-0 for the first timesince the 2008 squad went 11-1.

The question surroundingCHCA entering the season wascentered around the team’smore experienced skill-positionplayers and their ability to pro-duce.

And since game one, the Ea-gleshaven’t hadany troubleput-ting up points.

Through Sept. 21, quarter-back Conner Osborne led theMiami Valley Conference with1,211 passing yards. He had 13touchdowns against three inter-ceptions.

In week one, he dazzled theSkyline Chili Crosstown Show-down crowd with 392 passingyards and four touchdowns.

His big target that day, NickWeaver, accounted for 14 catch-es and 213 yards. The senior has

continued to be a threat on of-fense and leads the league with393 yards, while averaging 12.7yards per catch (through Sept.14).

Teammate Adam Chappellehas also come up big and has 231yards and two touchdown catch-es. The senior is averaging 16.5yards per catch.

SYCAMORE TWP — . Muchlike his boys team last spring,Sycamore tennis coach MikeTeets is relying on the racquetsofyouth topropel his teamto thetop of the Greater Miami Con-ference.

Last spring, Sycamore’s boysfeaturedDeepak Indrakanti andNakul Narendran. Entering thefall postseason, the top two girlsfor the Lady Aves are AlexaAbele and Maggie Skwara,whom Teets said are very simi-lar to the boys.

“ It’s pretty nice as far aslooking toward the future. It’sdefinitely nice to have talentlike that,” he said.

AlongwithAbele andSkwaraon singles, the LadyAves have aveteran presence in senior Nan-kiHura. Indoubles, seniorSoph-ia Southard leads the first teamwith sophomore Jamie Pesco-vitz. A year ago, Southardplayed singles until teamingwith the graduated Sammi

Kruger to make a state run indoubles.

Teets could mix and matchhis talent again as the postsea-son tournaments near.

“There’s a good chance of it,”Teets said. “We haven’t madeany final decisions, but wemight put some girls in doublesthatwenormally play in singles.It’s just kind of waiting and see-ingandtalkingwith thegirlsandseeing what they’re comfort-able with.”

Second doubles has also been

a strength forSycamorewith ju-nior Grace Kays and freshmanCaroline Gao. Rounding out theLadyAves are freshmanRaquelLevitt, junior Elina Panteleyevaand sophomores Lila Englanderand Sneha Rajagopal.

Most of Sycamore’s girlswould be in starting lineups atother schools. Plus, they have asecond team.

“We like the fact thatwehavea lot of competition a the top ofour varsity ‘B’ to move up,”Teets said. “We have a lot of

competition in our tryouts. Wedefinitely have some talent atthat level as well.”

For Teets and Sycamore, realestate is theexplanation forwhyhe’s floodedwith somany tennisathletes.

Location, location, location.In addition to geography,

Teets and the Sycamore staffare proactive in engaging for-merandcurrentplayerswithfu-ture Aviators desiring to sportthe green and gold.

“We try to work them in thesummer and try to get themplaying,” Teets said. “It’s reallycompetitive with all of the dif-ferent sports and all of the dif-ferent options they have. Somedecide they like tennis and theywant to get better at it.”

With the regular seasonwinding down, the Lady Avesare trying to hold off the usualsuspects in the GMC. A Syca-more tennis schedule offers upno “patsies.”

“It’s brutal,” Teets said.“You’ve got Lakota East, LakotaWest, Mason and us all kind ofjockeying for the top spot. OakHills is a lot better this year. The

As a stakeholder of one of ourmost important communityassets, I enjoyed attending Syca-more’s State of the District tohear speeches celebrating excel-lence, students’ achievementsand staff awards.

We are growing a culture ofexcellence requiring technology,shared services, implementingthe third-grade guarantee, andnew core learning requirements.

Along with a new tool to mea-sure academic progress (K-10),the designing of a tool to mea-sure professional growth of

teachers andadministratorshas finallycome to fru-ition as part ofa state man-date. We maynow possiblydetermine ifteacher perfor-mance, higherteacher payand/or experi-

ence/education correlates withhigher student achievement.

Our district is thriving due to

a strong business property taxbase, parents with high expecta-tions and children hungry tolearn. These combined factorsinfluence the high levels ofachievement.

Our teachers and administra-tion are truly blessed and are ablessing.

What is lurking below thehigh profile accolades is thenot-so-popular topic of a $73million budget. We’re told a taxlevy is coming, even with $33million in cash reserves. Thefive-year forecast projects $2.8

to $4 million yearly in deficitspending.

Our generous teacher unioncontract continues to allow mul-tiple-pay increases, marketed as“frozen” and a minimum15percent contribution for med-ical. Salaries/benefits comprisethe largest expense (approx 87percent) and are among thehighest in Ohio.

Respectfully, we can debateif our school and union stewardsreasonably considered howtaxpayer funds should be spent,especially when students are

requiring outside tutoring, andone in six graduating studentsare taking remediation coursesin college.

We the stakeholders need toroll up our sleeves, educateourselves, and positively sup-port our stewards in encourag-ing the district philosophy andbehavior to address the realitiesin education, our budget andeconomy. See Educate SycamoreNow (on Facebook).

that people who fly Delta willrecognize: It’s the one wherethe CEO intones “Safety is ourfirst priority,” after telling ussuch priceless information as“I sit at the founders deskevery day” (what happened tothe furniture budget? Itwasn’t spent on the plane Iwas on). Many would agreethat customer service shouldbe their No. 1 priority, be-cause safety is a given andone of the reasons we havethe FAA.

What is the point of ad-vertising like this? Does Dukewant me to feel good aboutthem raising the rates at somepoint in the future? I live inIndian Hill and have to own agenerator, because Duke can-not deliver the power reliably,so count me out of those whowould pat them on the backand say, “Go ahead, chargeme more – you deserve it!”

Why is Delta telling methat safety, which is a givenand part of what I pay taxesfor, has now superseded whatI paid Delta for, namely adecent seat on a flight thatleft and arrived on time, hope-fully to the destination on myticket?

In my humble opinion, thisis part of an increasinglycommon phenomenon. Whencompanies find themselvesunable or incompetent to pro-vide great service, they fall

back on selling us what we arealready paying for, as if itwere something extraordi-nary. It is a cheap trick, acopout and doesn’t fool any-one, except those in the meet-ing that approved the expen-diture for such advertising.These executives and theadvertising agencies involvedshould be fired right awaybefore they waste anyoneelse’s money.

Good service is hard workand too few companies arewilling to invest in it. Sadly,many of us are just too busyto demand what we pay for.

There is, in this sad tale ofdeclining value for money, asilver lining: people who offerextraordinary service will notonly get recognized, theybecome remarkably success-ful. Lexus, Nationwide ClaimsService and Angie’s List arerecognized examples of bothgood service and our cravingfor it.

If your company is tryingto tell me what I that it isextraordinary because it pro-vides me with what I paid for,then may I suggest you polishyour resume: you are onesmart entrepreneur awayfrom losing your shirt.

If you would like to get aSocial Security statement,which provides estimates ofyour future benefits, it is nowavailable online atwww.socialsecurity.gov.

“Our new online SocialSecurity statement is simple,easy-to-use and provides peo-ple with estimates they canuse to plan for their retire-ment,” said Michael J. Astrue,commissioner of Social Securi-ty. “The online statement alsoprovides estimates for disabil-ity and survivors benefits,making the statement an im-portant financial planning tool.People should get in the habitof checking their online State-ment each year, around theirbirthday, for example.”

In addition to helping withfinancial planning, the onlinestatement also provides work-ers a convenient way to deter-mine whether their earningsare accurately posted to theirSocial Security records. Thisfeature is important becauseSocial Security benefits arebased on average earnings

over a person’slifetime. If theinformation isincorrect, theperson may notreceive properbenefits.

The onlinestatement pro-vides you theopportunity tosave or print

the document for future refer-ence, or to have handy fordiscussions with family mem-bers or a financial planner.

According to the AmericanCustomer Satisfaction Index,users are giving the onlinestatement a score of 89, mak-ing it competitive with ourother top-rated, best-in-gov-ernment online services, suchas the retirement estimatorand online retirement applica-tion.

To get a personalized onlinestatement, you must be age 18or older and must be able toprovide information aboutyourself that matches informa-tion already on file with Social

Security. In addition, SocialSecurity uses Experian, anexternal authentication serviceprovider, for further verifica-tion. You must provide identi-fying information and answersecurity questions in order topass this verification. SocialSecurity will not share yourSocial Security number withExperian, but the identitycheck is an important part ofthis new, thorough verificationprocess.

The great-est benefit forme to workingwith groupslike TEDxCin-cinnati is theinspirationthat is passedalong by peo-ple who aretruly passion-ate about

affecting change.For the past several weeks

I’ve been part of the TEDxCin-cinnati leadership team, work-ing to bring people together foran Oct. 4 “Every Citizen a Dip-lomat.”

Sponsored by CincinnatiUSA Sister Cities and SisterCities International, TEDxCin-cinnati will bring thought pro-voking ideas to life at the Na-tional Undergound RailroadFreedom Center with speakersand performers. They’ll sharepersonal stories and talk aboutthe power within each of us tobridge cultural understandingand cooperation, and to buildand strengthen relationships inour own communities, our

country and around the world.Our ultimate goal? We want

to spark energy, conversationand action. We want to build onGreater Cincinnati’s momen-tum that we’ve already demon-strated this summer of embrac-ing diverse cultures with open-ness and appreciation.

When Bob Herring, princi-pal of Nativity School in Pleas-ant Ridge, told me he believesthat in order to move forward,we must begin with the kids inelementary school I could hearhis conviction in his voice. Hehas facilitated 42 student ex-changes with 24 school in 18countries since joining theSchool in 1984; and the Schoolhas been involved with theinternational ‘Friendship Pro-ject’ much longer. Right nowactually his school is hostingstudents fromHungary.

“If we could bring the youngpeople of the world together,they could form those friend-ships and relationships thatwould lead to a future we allwant. They would learn thatstereotypes that they heldabout other nations and cul-

tures, other traditions andlanguages were really nottrue,” he had told the St. Antho-ny Messenger.

I learned this firsthandwhen, as an 11-year-old, I wasinvolved with Children’s Inter-national Summer Village. Itreally didn’t seem to matterwhen I didn’t use the samewords to communicate withothers from countries I hadonly seen on a map. The lan-guage of smiles and laughter,tears and hugs, hopes anddreams…those are universal.

When people of differentcultures, races, religions, ages,and socio-economic back-grounds come together withopenness and cooperation it is abeautiful thing. When all of usnot just accept but appreciatehow diversity strengthens usand strengthens our communi-ty, then we all benefit.

I invite you to join us. It isgoing to be a powerful night. Toregister, please visitwww.TEDxCincinnati.com.

When studying a language,sometimes the student needs toimmerse his or herself in the cul-ture to truly understand it.

SevenHills School studentTer-rance Webb took that opportunityin June when he spent 18 days ex-ploring China with 11 classmates.Webb, a Sycamore Township resi-dent, has studied Chinese for onlyone year, but said the experiencemotivated him to practice the lan-

guagemore.“Taking Chinese in class, we

learned basic words,” he said. “...You think you know a word, butthey might say it differently. Itmademe practice more.”

Webb said the trip taught himthat some of the cultural facts helearned in class weren’t factual.For example, he said he learned inclass that most Chinese citizenslive in apartments and don’t owncars, rather relying on publictransportation. Webb’s experi-ence of Chinese cities, such asBeijing and Shanghai, led him to amuch different conclusion.

“We learned in class that (Chi-nese people) mostly live in apart-ments, can own only small petsand many don’t have cars,” hesaid. “A lot of people owned cars,and I stayed in a house that waspretty extravagant.”

The house Webb stayed in wasthe “home stay” part of the trip –students were housed by Chinesefamilies in each of the four citiesthey visited. One of his favoritepartsof the trip, thehomestaysal-lowedWebb and his classmates tolearn first-handhowChinese fam-ilies live and go about their daily

lives.The group also acted as tour-

ists by visiting the GreatWall, theForbidden City in the middle ofBeijing, practicing their Chineselanguage skills at Pearl Marketand seeing a night view of Shang-hai from the Yangtze River, Webbsaid.

ThegroupcomparedtheAmer-ican and Chinese school systemswith visits to universities, andspokewithemployeesataChinesecompany to learn how companiesare run in China, compared to theUnited States. Overall, Webb saidhe gained a better understandingof the Chinese language and cul-

ture, from simple tasks such asbuying something at the market.

“We had to speak full-on Chi-nese just to buy something,” hesaid. “Because of their accents,you think you’re speaking it right,... but sometimes even teachersdidn’t know what you were say-ing.”

It’s starting to feel, andlook like, autumn. Thetops of the maple treeshave splashes of red, or-ange and yellow. And thismorning when I went outfor a bike ride, I got nofarther than the bend inthe road when I had toturn around and change

from aT-shirt to asweatshirt.

Ourfarmerneighbor,Ed Kluba,predictsfrost in thenext coupleof weeks.That’saccording

to the Old Farmer’s Alma-nac, Ed told me. Fall is aperfect time to start roast-ing dinner in the oveninstead of turning on thegrill.

Roasted chickenwith Greek herbs

Sometimes I’ll use justbreasts and thighs. thehigh heat gives the chick-en an incredibly crispskin. This is one of those“hurry home” meals.Freshly ground peppermakes this a standout

dish. If you don’t have apeppermill, put it on yourwish list. Makes all thedifference in the world,and pepper has lots ofantioxidants. Ditto for theoregano, one of the mosthealing herbs on the plan-et.

1 chicken, cut up, about 3pounds

6 Italian tomatoes, cut intoquarters

1 very large yellow onion4 Yukon gold or large redpotatoes, cut into quartersor big chunks

Salt and pepper to taste¼ cup fresh oregano, or agenerous 2 teaspoons dry

1⁄3 cup olive oil or bit more asneeded

1⁄3 cup fresh lemon juice1 tablespoon fresh garlic,minced

Preheat oven to 450.Toss chicken, tomatoes,onion and potatoes with

salt and pepper. Put chick-en and vegetables in largebowl. Mix oregano, oil,lemon juice and garlictogether. Pour over chick-en and vegetables. Put intoshallow roasting pan,placing chicken piecesskin side up on top ofvegetables. Roast 1 houror until chicken is goldenand cooked through.

Big & bold onionrings

OK I can’t figure outwhere the recipe originat-ed, but it has been in myfiles for a while with ashorthand note that I can’tread. (Funny, I can stillwrite in shorthand soeasily, but the translationis another matter …).Anyway, the note from thesender said “This hasspoiled me. No restaurantrings are as good.” ForMegan, an Anderson

Township reader.

Oil for frying2 large sweet Vidalia onions2 cans, 5 oz ea., evaporatedmilk

1 cup flour½ teaspoon dry mustardCayenne pepper – start with1/4 teaspoon or to taste

1 teaspoon paprikaSalt to taste

Heat 1 inch of oil infrying pan over mediumhigh heat. Slice onionsacross into 1-inch ringsand separate, discardingouter layer of skin. Pourmilk in bowl. Mix flourwith seasonings in shallowdish. Dip rings in milk,then coat with flour. Fry insingle layer (oil should beabout 360) until golden.Place on paper towels todrain. Salt while still hot.

Sauce for dippingMix together 1 cup sour

cream, cayenne pepperand cumin to taste (startwith about 1/2 teaspooneach) and stir in chilisauce to taste, startingwith 1/4 cup.

Power companiesaround the country arehearing from consumersconcerned about newSmart Meters being puton homes.

They transmit yourhome’s electric usage,and some fear the metersemit potentially harmfulradiation. Studies showthat’s not the case, butnow the some people arequestioning the studies.

Mike Mannarino, ofAnderson Township, isn’tconcerned about that,he’s troubled about pos-sible spying. “It’s a sur-veillance device essen-tially because they cantell what actually takesplace inside the home,”he said.

The Smart Meters dorecord the electricityusage in your home everyfew seconds and transmitthe information to a ter-minal. Mannarino saidthat information can beused to determine wheth-er you’re using enoughenergy-efficient devicesin your home.

“It’s gradually in-trusive: A little bit today.I think there’ll be moretomorrow and, frankly, Idon’t feel they need thatinformation,” Mannarino

said.But

Duke Ener-gy spokes-womanSally The-len refutesthis. “Thisis com-pletely nottrue. I cantell you,

Howard, the only thingwe’re getting from thesemeters is how much elec-tricity you’re using. Wedon’t know what appli-ances are being used. Wedon’t know anythingspecific at all,” Thelensaid.

Nevertheless, Manna-rino said, “If they deter-mine you’re not doing thethings they think youshould, I see in the futurewhere they could chargeyou a higher rate.”

“There is no way thatsomebody’s monitoringthe usage all the time.There’s a lot of fallacyout there on the Inter-net,” Thelen said. Shesaid there is no largeroom where someone ismonitoring the usage ineach house. Instead, shesaid, the daily readingsjust go into big computerservers.

Thelen said Duke is 75percent complete in mod-ernizing its grid withthese digital meters.Since these meters trans-mit the usage, she saidthe company figuresthere will be far fewerestimated bills. When theupgrade is complete atthe end of next yearDuke can re-route elec-tricity if there’s a poweroutage in an area. Inaddition, there could be“time of use pricing.”This allows customers tosave money by, for in-stance, doing their washat night when electricrates are reduced.

In the meantime, thosewith these Smart Meterscan go online to Duke’swebsite and check theirusage. The meters cap-ture energy usage dailyand that’s available tocustomers the next day.Duke said this can helpcustomers make wiserenergy decisions andavoid billing surprises atthe end of the month.

Cincinnati native andartist Robert Shetterlywill visit UC Blue Ash Col-lege to formally open anexhibit of his portraits,“Americans Who Tell theTruth,” with a lecture andreception 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.Wednesday, Oct. 3.

The exhibit will be inthe hallway leading to theMuntz Auditorium fromOct. 3-Oct. 31, duringschool hours, 8 a.m. to 10p.m. Monday through Fri-day. Both the exhibit andlecture are free and opento the public.

Shetterly was born in

Mount Lookout and at-tended Kilgore and HydePark schools. Lived formany years in Hyde Park.

Shetterly’s portraitsfeature American citizens– historical and contempo-rary, famous and locallyknown –who offer what hecalls “models of coura-geous citizenship.”

The UCBA exhibit in-cludes 14 of his 180 por-traits (to date). Amongthose featured will beJames Bell, Betty Burkes,Rachel Carson, Dwight Ei-senhower, Eve Ensler, De-nise Giardinia, Bill

Moyers, Carlos Munoz Jr.,Erik Reece, Louis StudsTerkel, Helen Thomas,Mark Twain, Terry Tem-pest Williams and ChiefJoseph Hinmton Yalektit,representing teachers,journalists, environmen-tal activists, political lead-ers, attorneys and au-thors. Each portrait in-cludes a quotation by itssubject.
