Colerain Township is swing-ing the budget ax as it con-tinues toprepare for lossof$1.5million in revenue.

The township is losing mon-ey from elimination of the es-tate tax, personal tangibleproperty tax and cuts in stateand local government fundmoney that the township usedto receive from the state.

At its work session meetinglast week, the board approvedlayoffs of 11 people, all perma-nent part-time employees ofthe parks and services depart-ment and the Colerain Commu-nity Center, as the latest stepsto adjusting the decreasingbudget. The board also ap-proved the retirement of com-munity center employee RayRichardson, effective May 1.

Township administrator JimRowan said the layoffs, retire-ment and changes to program-ming at the community centerwill save the township $398,698annually.

“That still leaves us about $1million away from a truly sus-

tainable budget,” he said.Rowan will present the bud-

get’s permanent appropria-tionsat the township’snext reg-ular meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday,March12, at theColerainTown-ship Administrative Complex,4200 Springdale Road. He saysthat budgetwill reflect the sav-ings from the layoffs and pro-gram changes.

Because of the changes, thetownship will now contract outnuisance abatement such asgrass and weed cutting. Rowansaid because that work is billedto the homeowner via tax bills,the contracting won’t cost thetownship additional money. Hesays the contract is also a good

idea because with a smallertownship work force and tight-er schedules, there are lesspeople available to handle thenuisance work.

Colerain Community Centerdirector Marie Sprenger said,in the wake of layoffs at thecenter, she is making changesto how the facility operates tomaximize opportunities tomakemoney.The trusteeshavecharged her with making thecenter financially self-suffi-cient by 2014.

Effective May 1, the centerbuilding will be divided intotwoparts.Theoriginalbuilding

The Northwest LocalSchool district passed its2012 finance exam withflying colors.

The Ohio Auditor’s of-fice has released the fis-cal year 2012 audit for theNorthwest school district.The accounting and busi-ness consulting firm ofClark, Schaefer, Hackettcompleted the audit forthe auditor and found nomaterial weaknessesidentified in internal con-trols and there were nomaterial instances of non-compliance noted.

Thatmeans therewereno major findings. Trea-surer Randy Bertramsaid there was one cita-tion for reporting on afederal program, but it

was corrected. It stillshows up in the audit, hesaid.

A representative fromthe Clark, Schaefer,Hackett auditing teammet with the district’s Fi-nance Committee, SchoolBoard President DavidDenny, SuperintendentRick Glatfelter, and Ber-tram Jan. 30 for a post-au-dit review.

Bertram said that, inthe review, the Clark,Schaefer, Hackett repre-sentative pointed out thatthe district has increasedits net assets and generalfund balance every yearsince 2008.

“In the economic envi-ronment for school dis-tricts over the past fouryears, it has been a sig-nificant challenge tomaintain financial posi-

tion and the district’s re-sults speakvolumesaboutits proactive approach to-wards its finances,” theaudit said.

Financ committeememberRichMcVay saidwhile he may have differ-ences with district offi-cials over how they spendtheir money, he has noqualms about how theykeep their books. “As thisaudit revealed, North-westLocalSchoolDistrictresidents can have confi-dence the district is doingaverygood jobofkeepingthe books,” he said. “Ran-dy does a fine job.”

This audit along withprior audits and the dis-trict’s financial reportscan be seen on the dis-trict’s website atnwlsd.org under the Trea-surer’s Department link.

vice in the state pensionplan. He joined ColerainTownship as director ofparks and services in July2007.

Colerain Township Ad-ministrator Jim Rowansaid rehiring Schwartz-koff makes sense in atownship where officialsare struggling with thelossof$1.5million in reve-nue.

“We realize a 25 per-cent savings,” he said. “Ican’t take that lightly. ”

Colerain Townshiptrustees have towait untilthe March 26 meeting tovote on whether to keepParks andServicesDirec-tor Kevin Schwartzhoff ifhe retires.

He has asked the town-

ship board to allow him toretireandthenberehired.If his request is approved,he takes a 25 percent paycut, taking him from$82,000 annually to$62,000 annually. Hewould retire effectiveApril 1.

Schwartzhoff, 57, hasmore than 30 years of ser-

The board did not vote,but during the discussionfollowing the public hear-ing, it appeared the boardwill approve his requestnext month. While Trus-tee Jeff Ritter said hewould have to vote no onprinciple, even though hebelives the continuitySchwartzhoff brings tothe position is important.

Dennis Deters andMe-linda Rinehart indicatedthey are leaning towardyes votes on the request.

The practice of retir-ing to collect a pensionand being rehired for thesame position is known asdouble dipping.

Proponents say it al-lows the township to re-tain experienced employ-

ees and saves taxpayersmoney. Opponents say itdenies younger employ-ees the opportunity to ad-vance.

Rowan said legal re-quirements dictate thatthe board cannot vote un-til the township’s March26 work session.

The meeting begins at5:30 p.m. at the ColerainTownship Admininistra-tive Complex, 4200Springdale Road.

Text and drive simulator at CHSOMG! The grace period on

Ohio’s ban on texting whiledriving is over.

Thatmeansadriveryoungerthan 18 could face a $150 fineand lose his or her license iffound using a cellphone whiledriving. That’s for the first of-fense; a second offense doublesthe fineand timewithoutadriv-er’s license.

It’s about time, said someColerainHighSchool teenswhowatched peers trying to textand drive on a special car sim-ulator at the school for the daylast week.

“It’s difficult. You can’t fo-cus on two things at once,” saidRandy Yazel, a 17-year-old ju-nior from Colerain Township,who tried to text and drive andended up hitting a virtual pe-destrian.

“I don’t like people textingand driving overall,” he said.“I’ve seen friends and someparents do it. I’m sure they’reaware of the dangers. It’s justthat some people don’t care.”

A national survey of teenscommissioned by AT&T lastyear showed that 97 percentthink texting and driving is abad idea, yet 43 percent admitthey do it. They could be influ-enced by their parents: 41 per-cent of teens say their parentstext and drive.

At Colerain High School, theteens got into the car, put onspecial eye gear that let themseeonly thevirtual roadand thecellular phone in their hands.Then theywere told to text typ-

ical things such as “where r u”or “what’s up this weekend?”

Meanwhile, dozens of theirpeers stood around a computerscreen, occasionally laughingat their impaired driving.

Some drivers zoomed overthe 45mile-per-hour limitwhileothersdrove too slow.One trun-dled along at 10 miles per hourwhile texting.

Most studentsweaved in andout of lanes, crossed into on-coming traffic or blew throughred lights.

One boy ran an intersectionand hit a virtual boy crossingthe street. Another killed a dog,a third hit some cars.

“Itwasreallyscary,” saidTa-bitha Schmeh, a 16-year-oldsophomore from ColerainTownship. “I knew it was a dan-ger, but I didn’t know it wouldbe that hard.

“You look down and thinkyou’ll be fine, but in the nextminute you’re in the median.“

The car simulator, by AT&T,has been touring the countryfor about two years. This is itsfirst visit to Cincinnati. Alongwith the simulator, studentswatched a 10-minute videoabout how accidents involvingtexting affected crash survi-vors.

After the program, manystudents vowed not to textwhile driving; others weren’tconvinced. One boy said hetexts while stopped at lightsand stop signs – but Ohio’s text-ingban, passed last year,makesno distinction between textingat a stop light and texting inmo-tion.

In addition to the car simula-tion tour, AT&T is promoting afree app – DriveMode – for An-droid and Blackberry users.The app turns on automaticallywhen a vehicle moves 25 milesper hour or more.

It responds to texts oremails, saying the driver willrespond later, and it sends callsto voicemail. Automakers areconsideringplacingsimilarser-vices in their cars, said HollyHollingsworth, an AT&Tspokeswoman.

A law making texting or using an electronic device while driving aprimary offense for those under 18 years of age went into effect March1. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY LIZ DUFOUR/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

NEWOHIO LAWUnder the law, texting while

driving becomes a minor misde-meanor, with fines of up to $150for a first offense, $300 for asecond. Teens also could havetheir licenses suspended for sixmonths; 12 months for a repeatoffense.For teens it’s a primary vio-

lation, but for adults it’s a sec-ondary violation.A primary offense means

police could stop all teen driversfor texting while driving, even ifthere is no accident or otherdriving offense. For adults, someother violation must have oc-curred, such as running a redlight, before police can citethem for texting and driving.The law does not trump city

ordinances that are tougherabout cellphone use in vehicles.Cincinnati in 2010 banned text-ing while driving, with similarfines.For more information about

COLUMBUS — La Salle, Cole-rain and Northwest highschools all sent wrestlers backto the statewrestlingmeet for asecond consecutive season.

That experience paid off asthe four individuals represent-ing those schools finished in thetop eight and earned a spot onthe podium during the OHSAAState Tournament at the Schot-tenstein Center in ColumbusMarch 2.

Colerain junior DetuanSmith made history by takingthird place in the 160-pound di-vision.

The finish is the highest aCardinal mat man has everplaced.

“(Placing third) feels awe-some; it feels great to know myhard work in the room has paidoff,” Smith said.

Colerain coach James Wa-gers said Smith has come onstrong since January.

In the last month alone,Smith was named wrestler ofthe year at the Greater MiamiConference meet, while win-ning sectional and districtchampionships en route tostate.

“We had high goals and highexpectations and for him to fin-ish third is a remarkable feat,”Wagers said.

Teammate TeGray Scalesplacedseventhat195poundsaf-ter earninga6-4 last secondvic-

tory over Moeller’s JerryThornberry.

Scales was hoping for betterresults after placing fourth inthe 182-pound class last season,but is content with his results.

“It wasn’t what I expected,but I had to battle back after the

quarterfinals and come backand take seventh,” Scales said.

In the heavyweight division,AmeerDaniels improved on hiseighth-place finish from lastseason by winning his fifth-place match in dramatic fash-ion.

While squaring off againstLakota East’s Jacob Burton,Daniels injuredhiskneeinover-time, but pulled through for thewin.

“I got hip tossed and landedon my knee, and my knee washurting.When I could feel like I

could stand, (I said) let’s finishit, let’s go…Iwanted tobe oneofthe 252 guys to win their lastmatch in their high school ca-reer. I wanted to win my lastmatch.”

Daniels hopes to wrestlenext season in college andleaves the Northwest programas the first 40-matchwinner inasingle season, alongwith106 ca-reer victories.

“Every time he (stepped) on-to themat he wasmaking histo-ry for us,” Northwest coachNicholas Maffey said. “Icouldn’t bemore proud of him.”

Like Daniels, La Salle seniorAnthony Milano entered Co-lumbus wrestling in the 113-pound class looking to improvehis eighth-place finish from lastseason.

While he lost a tight 3-1 deci-sion to Santino Disabato ofWesterville North, Milano saiditwas nice to end his career as atwo-time state placer.

Milanowas accepted into theinterior design program at UCand plans to help out coachAvery Zerkle next season.

The senior said he’ll gradu-ate with 136 career victories,which would put him second onLa Salle’s all-time list. MaxByrd is first with 160.

CINCINNATI — Milton Davisnever believed his team’s rec-ord reflected what kind ofsquad the Colerain Cardinalscould be.

The senior said back in earlyFebruary when the Cardinalswere 8-12 that this team couldmake a tournament run.

Sofar,he’sprovedtoberight,as Colerain (12-13, 4-10) defeat-ed district rival Northwest, 65-61 in a Division I sectional finalgame at the University of Cin-cinnati March 3.

“We got a lot of late wins thisyear and in the tournament, wekept the same motivation andkept he same motto: ‘Win in thetournament, win in the tourna-ment,’ andwe got the job done,”Davis said.

In a contest with nine leadchanges and seven ties, Davishad a game-high 20 points andsank two key free throws withless than two seconds remain-ing to put the gameout of reach.

ColeraindefeatedNorthwestearlier in the year, and Davisdidn’t want to leave the arenawith a season split.

“We made sure we didn’t un-derestimate them at all and wegot the W,” he said.

Colerain coach Kevin Hig-gins said preparing for the ri-valry contest provided one ofthemostnerve-wrackingweeksof his coaching career.

“The last time wewere here,we were playing Lakota West,our GMC rival or whatever. It

doesn’t match,” he said. “Noleague gamematches our rival-ry with them, of how intense itis, of how emotional the gameis…”

Northwest entered the gamehavingwon nine of its last10. Indefeat, the Knights ended theyear 17-8, which is a school rec-ord for victories in a season, ac-cording to head coach BrooksPosta.

Posta said the difference inthe game came down to Cole-rain’s kids stepping up at theright moments.

“…We struggled to do that,”he said. “They had timely re-bounds and we had untimelyturnovers. It was a close gameand that’s what it comes downto.”

Northwest had 15 turnoverscompared to Colerain’s nine,but out-rebounded the Cardi-

nals 30-25.At thefree-throwline,North-

west was 12-of-19, while Cole-rain was 20-29.

Cody Roberson led theKnights with 17, while DariusHubbard chipped in 15.

FortheCardinals, juniorKel-vinCook scored13,while seniorC.J. Reed added 12.

Colerain has won five of itslast six, including a 53-51 upsetvictory over St. Xavier Feb. 26.

TheCardinalswill playWith-row in the district finals at theUniversity of Dayton March 9,and Higgins knows his team isin store for another tough weekof preparation.

“I’ve seen (Withrow play)and they are fantastic,” he said.“They are athletic and theyhave tremendous guard-s…We’ll have to play our best inorder to beat them.”

Colerain’s Kelvin Cook scored 13 points as the Cardinals edged outNorthwest 65-61 at UC March 3. AMANDA DAVIDSON/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

We provid-ed space for over 350 sheltersrentals, 1,000 soccer and ballgames, 10,000 spray groundvisits, 25,000 playground vis-its and thousands of walkersand runners.

We renovated the play-ground at Charles Palm Me-morial Park with a KaBoom!and Foresters Insurancegrant. The support from theColerain community was tre-mendous and we look forwardto serving their needs in 2013.

Some of the changes put inplace for 2013 include someprogram deletions, consolidat-ing events and some fee pro-grams to help with the loss ofmoney from the State of Ohioto the Parks funding source

the GeneralFund.

We will notbe holding aSummer DayCamp for thefirst time in25 years.Some relieffor parents/children is thefact that wehave built six

accessible playgroundsthroughout the community inthe last seven years and manyof these playgrounds are inwalking distance for many ofour residents.

We are combining the JulyFourth Spectacular with theannual Taste of Colerain tak-ing place this year on Aug. 9and 10. The two-day event willinclude additional improve-ments of a fireworks show atthe conclusion of each eve-ning, fantastic entertainment

including the Rusty Gris-wold’s on Saturday night, andadditional restaurant vendors.The cost of the event is cov-ered by sponsorships, boothfees and day of sales.

We have put in place aParking Permit Fee for 2013.A park patron can purchase ayearly transferrable pass fortheir vehicles for $10. Thecost for this user fee would beless than 3 cents per day thathelps support your parks. Theonly people who would paythis user fee would be parkusers, if you do not use theparks than there is no cost. Ifyou walk to any of the 11parks we maintain than youwould not pay a fee, many ofour parks are within walkingdistance of our residents.

To help defray 2013 mainte-nance costs, we will be estab-lishing more meadows andwildflower areas within theparks. This will decrease the

need for mowing and othercosts of turf maintenance.Non-athletics grass areas willbe mowed less often and wewill decrease the fertilizationand weed control program.We have fewer part-time andseasonal employees so we willbe using different schedulingto insure our parks are safeand clean.

Colerain Township is verysupportive of our parks andwe will continue to strive tooffer the best customer ser-vice and maintenance of ourquality facilities during thesetrying financial times. As weput in place some creativefunding methods and cost-cutting measures, we believeyour enjoyment of our parkswill continue and we lookforward to serving you in2013.

The new Enquirerwill havemore and vibrant color, andbolder headlines – the smallerpage size allows photos andgraphics to have more punch.And you won’t have to turn thepage to follow stories as often –

fewer storieswill “jump”from one pageto anotherpage.

That Monday issue willinclude a guide to the newEnquirer and an introduction tothe Enquirer Media journalistswho work to bring you yournewspaper each day.

This new size newspaperwill be something you mostlikely have never seen before.It’s not a tabloid, and it is not abroadsheet-sized newspaper.

It is not even the same sizeas your Community Press. It issmall enough that it is easy tocarry around, easy to spreadout at your breakfast table andeasy to read while sitting atyour desk or at home in yourrecliner.

And when you read the newEnquirer, you’ll find all of thecoverage you need. Includedwill be coverage of regionalgovernments; the growing artsscene throughout the area; andof course complete coverageof the Cincinnati Reds as theytry to repeat as Central Divi-sion champions.

If you don’t subscribe, whynot give it a try? By subscrib-ing, you can read the Enquirermany ways – in print, on yourcomputer, tablet or phone.

Marc EmralEDITOR’SNOTEBOOK

Blindsided residentsSpeaking for my family and

others on Van Zandt Drive, weare angry!

We found out on Feb. 24 thattheCMHAisattempting topur-chase property from GreenTownship and other sellers forthe purpose of a large low in-come housing development.While denied by the trusteesandCMHAboard,we residentsfeel information has beenwith-held from us. Green Townshiphas informed no individual inour neighborhood that thisproperty was even in consider-ation for such a project. Yet theCMHA had resolutions to bevoted on during their Feb. 26meeting to purchase propertyon North Bend (Total Automo-tive/Beal property) and a par-

cel on Dickinson.Moreover, when the CMHA

boardwas asked if any of themhad visited the property no onestated they had. Incredible!

Friends, these are your Fed-eral tax dollars at work. TheCMHA stated they have a PlanB to secure existing four-fam-ily units. This plan wouldmakes better sense and savestaxpayersmanymillionsofdol-lars. It would also guaranteethat ourportionof the townshipwould not be a just a continua-tion of Westwood.

We were aware that CMHAwas mandated to establish 32units in Green Township. Weare not opposed to this. We areopposed of another multifam-ily development for our area. Ahigh concentration of low in-

come housing in the proposedlocation serves no one and an-gers many; many of us second-generation residents.

Green Township trustees:Do not sell the property on

WestwoodNorthernBoulevardto the CMHA. Your choice willbe rememberedwhen you seekre-election in November.

Feb. 27 questionDoyouthinktheU.S.Supreme

Court should decide to eliminatethe $123,200 political contribu-tion cap placed on an individualdonor during an election cycle?Why or why not?

“I do not think the SupremeCourt will decide against a capon political contributions by anindividual. Either way an indi-vidual can get around it by hav-ing a familymember etc. sharethe contribution or by contrib-uting to a PAC (political actioncommittee). For example,HBO’s Bill Maher contributed$1million to a PAC for Obama.One would think the SupremeCourt would have bigger deci-sions to make. What a waste oftime and resources not to men-tionabetteruseof thosecontri-butions instead going to chari-ty. Go Figure!”

T.D.T

“Idon’tknowwhyitmatters.Politicians at the federal andstate level (and perhaps evenlower) only care about wealthyfolks and lobbyists for largecorporations, for large non-profits like hospitals and uni-versities, and for unions any-

way.“They use thatmoney every

few years to try to get re-elect-ed and then give the averageJoe and Joanne lip service totrick them into getting theirvote. Sorry to be so cynical, butthat is the way it is.”

T.H.

“Ohyeah,wecanneverhaveenough money in politics. Let’sjust add some more dollars tothe glutted pocketbooks of ourpoliticians.

“A pox upon us if we allowthe lobby’s trough (fromwhichCongress sups) to run dry.”

M.E.

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

J.G.

“No, I don’t think theyshould. Ever since the Citizen’sUnited decision, which allowscorporations to be consideredpeople, and opened the floodgates tomassivecampaigncon-tributions it seems silly to tryand limit actual individual peo-ple to some arbitrary limit.

“Also I’ve been fortunatethat growing up in Indian Hillwe’vealwayshadtheresourcestomax out our contributions. Away around the individual do-nation limit is to justmake con-tributions in various familymembers names, such as wife,children, etc.

“There is always a way togame the system and makesure that youget thepoliticiansin office that will do the mostfor the money.”

I.P.

“No. There is a reason forthat cap. There are quite fewpeople in this country to whom$123,000 is not a lot of money,and they are willing to invest itinto an aspiring politician in or-der towin his support in the fu-ture, should the person needhelp from the government. It isvery close to bribery.

“I do not want to be gov-

erned by someone who is in of-fice primarily because someextremely wealthy people sup-ported them for their ownends.”

Bill B.

“Absolutely not – better re-duce it to $123! Democracy issupposed to be one man (per-son) onevote. It is not supposedtobe ‘Hewhohas themostmon-ey has the most influence.’Anything that takes money outof politics is good.”

D.R.

“The fact that Congress anda President enacted a law witha limit suggests their desire toprevent the wealthy from de-termining an election orworse,buying one. But if that’s thecase, why cap it at a figure 99percent of Americans couldnever consider?

“Whynotset it at$10,000andreally level the playing field?As to theSupremeCourt takingaction, Ibelievethepurposefora cap is a legitimate concernand to affirm a lower cap is inthe public’s best interest.”

My friend Laura Noeand I were chatting acouple of weeks ago. Sheand husband Oakleywere having their mapletrees tapped for the an-

nual pan-cakebreakfastat PattisonPark herein Cler-montCounty.

Laurahad me soenthusedabout tap-ping maple

trees that I’m deter-mined next year to tapours. Actually, we did tapour trees when my boyswere little, but had noidea just how to go aboutit and I recall we got solittle sap that we juststuck our fingers in itand tasted it raw.

Tapping maple trees isan ancient art. Laura toldme tapping should bedone in mid to late winter– nights in the 20s anddays sunny and in the 40s– so it’s a timely venture.Our Tristate park dis-tricts hold lots of funmaple syrup events forthe family, so I hope youtake advantage.

The recipes requestedfor this week fell intotune, as well. I had re-quests for “a differentsalad dressing for Easterthat’s not too heavy” anda request for “one morerecipe for chunky grano-la.” I’ve shared my origi-nal recipe for chunkygranola before but havean even chunkier onetoday.

Maple and balsamicsalad dressing

Serve over mixedgreens or baby spinachwith thinly sliced applesor strawberries, thinlysliced red onion and fetacheese. Good served witha sprinkling of candied orhoneyed nuts on top.Check out my blog forthat recipe.

Whisk together:1⁄3cup white balsamic

vinegar or rice winevinegar

3 tablespoons pure maplesyrup or to taste (Fortesting, I used KrogerPrivate Selection )

1 tablespoon DijonmustardSalt and pepper to taste1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil

Chunkymaplegranola

I was at first going tocall this “Bible granola”since so many ingredi-ents are mentioned in theBible. This is my chunki-est yet – really goodchunks but remember,you will always havesome flaking. Be carefulwhen breaking apart.Step by step photos areon my blog at Cincin-nati.Com/blogs.

Mix together:

4 cups old fashioned oats11⁄2cups sliced almonds orfavorite nuts

1 cupmixed seeds: yourchoice of sesame, flax,millet, chia, hemp orsunflower seeds (seeRita’s tip)

CoatingWhisk together and

add the smaller amountlisted at first, then tasteand add more if you like.1⁄2to 2⁄3cup light brown sugar1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil1⁄2cupmaple syrup or honey2-3 teaspoons vanilla1⁄2teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325

degrees. Put a piece ofparchment on large cook-ie sheet (about 15 inchesby 12 inches). Sprayparchment.

Pour coating over oatmixture. Pour onto panand pat down evenly andfirmly. This is importantto make the granolachunk up later. Bake30-35 minutes. Let cooland break into chunks. Iuse an offset spatula.

This granola alsomakes a delicious cereal,no sugar needed!

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can use any com-bo of seeds, even all sun-flower. Millet gives adelicious crunch andcontains protein and iron.Chia, like flax, is a greatsource of Omega 3s, butdoesn’t have to be groundto get the benefit. It alsoabsorbs a lot of waterand curbs the appetite.Hemp is not what youthink, it comes from acompletely differentplant. Huge amounts ofOmega 3s and proteinthere, too.

JustinBrown,17, a sen-ior at La Salle HighSchool, was mourned lastweek following his deathin a Feb. 24 shooting. Hewas buried Saturday,March 2.

Principal Tom Luebbesaid in a statement thatthe week was an incredi-bly difficult time for Jus-tin’s family and friendsand theLaSallecommuni-ty is keeping his familyclose in prayer as theymourn.

“Our students are alsogrieving the loss of theirclose friend and class-mate,” Luebbe said, “Andthat grief extendsthroughout our entire fac-ulty and staff. Throughour faith in God and Hisgrace, all will grow fromthis experience aswe relyon thecaringheartsofourLa Salle community andbeyond.

“In sad times such asthese, we come togetherasacommunity insupportand, at the same time, wewant to respect the priva-cy of Justin’s family.”

Police said Brown, aWhite Oak resident, diedFeb. 25 after a shooting onCarll Street inNorth Fair-mount the night before.

Another teenager,Dierres Lee, 19, was ar-rested and charged withBrown’smurder.When hemadehis first appearanceinHamiltonCountyMuni-cipalCourt,Feb.26,JudgeWilliam Mallory set hisbond at $1million.

“This is a tragedy,” thejudge said, noting thatdrugs were involved.

Police say Brown andthree friends boughtmar-ijuana from Lee on CarllStreet, paid him withcounterfeit money andthen tried to take off withthe drugs. When Lee real-ized the money was fake,he allegedly fired a gun atthe students’ car andstruck Brown in the head.

Assistant Police ChiefPaul Humphries said heknew some of the victims,including Brown, sincetheywereyoungchildren.

Hum-phries saidone of thevictimswas also anephew ofa Cincin-nati Dis-trict 3 po-lice ser-

geant.Humphries said

Brown, who he called“J.B.,” played baseballand basketball when hewasyounger andwasa re-spectful kid. He saidBrown was on the honorroll at La Salle and had ayounger brother. He wasalso a junior carrier forCommunity Press News-papers.

Humphries said theshooting was not gang-re-lated, but the result ofpoor decisions made. Hesaid the situation is apain-ful reminder to childrenthat the decisions theymake now affect families,neighborhoods and theirlegacy. “I know these kidspersonally; they’re notbad kids,” Humphriessaid. “They made a very,verystupiddecisionand itcost them dearly.”

According to a La Sallestatement, Brown main-tained a 3.0-grade pointaverage at La Salle. Hewas frequently on theschool’s honor roll, mostrecently in the secondquarter of this schoolyear. Hewas scheduled tograduate in May with 60hours of Christian ser-vice.

He was a constant inthe student cheering sec-tion at football and bas-ketball games.
