The CommunityPress on Feb. 19 pub-lished a columnbyGlen-dale resident RichardSchwab under the head-line “Tea party activistswant to control localschool boards.”

Editors have deter-mined that portions ofSchwab’s column weretaken from the Plunder-bund.com blog.

We will not be pub-lishing any more sub-missions from Schwab.

Papers banguest columnist kept them busy clearing

streets instead of fillingpotholes.

Whitaker said the cityhas received more than1,000 requests to repairpotholes since November.He said crews have filled602 of those requests, butstill havea littlemore than400 to fulfill.

“Most of the potholesout there now are fromsnow events in Januaryand February,” he said.“With each event you’regoingtogetnewpotholes.”

He said the city makesits best effort to repairpotholes as quickly as pos-sible, and hazardous pot-holes are placed on highpriority.

It’s a little early to de-termine if the city will re-pair more potholes thisyear than in past years,but Whitaker said hethinks there will be morethis year due to thewinterwe’ve experienced.

The city will begin itsannual pothole blitz inearly March, he said. Forabout a month, he said thepublic services depart-ment will have roughly adozen crews scouring thecity filling potholes.

“We’ll focus on repair-ing all the potholes wecan,” Whitaker said.

City residents areasked to report potholes intheir neighborhoods.

Residents can file re-ports online at5916000.com, call 591-6000or download the City HallCincinnati app to theirsmartphones and reportpotholesusing theapplica-tion.Whitakersaid theappusesGPS tracking to showthe location of the pothole.

“It’s a really nice fea-ture,” he said.

its schools, and the dis-trict expanded it toall el-ementary schools in1998.

Cheryl Broadnax,early childhood educa-tion director for Cincin-nati Public, said the dis-trict has seen benefitsfrom young students be-ing in the classroom fora full day.

In addition to receiv-ing more academic in-struction, she said kin-dergarten students arealso helped by the extrasocial and emotional in-teractions they experi-ence during a full day.

“There is also thefamily support aspect,”she said. “Witha full-dayprogram you really getto know the families andyou get to know theneeds of your students.”

Though there is al-ways room for growth,Broadnax said students’academic performancehas improved in recentyears and she thinks all-day kindergarten hashelped close the gap.

“Cincinnati Public of-fers a strong academic

program,” she said. “Ithink instruction-allyweprovide a great deal, andwe’re really emphasiz-ing literacy.”

Oak Hills LocalSchool District Superin-tendent ToddYohey saidthe district does nothave all-day kindergar-tenforall students,but itdoes provide an all-dayprogram called KEEPfor at-risk students whohave been assessed andqualify for the program.

He said the districtdoes not have a formalplan in place to offer all-day kindergarten, butthe district is investigat-ing the possibility of of-fering full-day kinder-garten instruction.

Two factors preventOak Hills from present-ly providing all-day kin-dergarten, he said. Thedistrict does not havethe funds to operatesuch a program, and thedistrict also lacks the fa-cility space for the pro-gram, he said.

“We certainly sup-port all-day kindergar-ten and would like to beable to offer it in the fu-ture,” Yohey said.

PRICE HILL — Some still maynot recognize the young face inthe corner of the mat coachingtheElderHighSchoolwrestlingteam.

Well, if you don’t, you betterget to know Jason Roush quick-ly.

The 28-year-old former GlenEste High School coach tookover the Panthers’ wrestlingprogram in March after DickMcCoy retired following 31years at the helm.

In his first year, Roush’swrestlers turned in a second-place finish at the GreaterCatholic League South meet, athird-place result at the Divi-sion I Hamilton sectional meet,sending nine wrestlers to thedistrict meet, just one less thanMcCoy sent the previous twoseasons.

“It’s went well,” Roush saidof the transition. “I’ve had a tonof support. … There has obvi-ously been some changes andthe kids have adapted to thatwell, so that’s made the firstyear very enjoyable.”

Seniors Evan Morgan andJake Conners have set the tonefor the Panthers this season.Both earnedGCL, sectional anddistrict titles andwill representElder at the Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association StateWrestling Championships Feb.27-28 on the campus of OhioState University in Columbus.

Morgan, whoadmittedlyhasn’t alwaysbeen mentallyprepared for the“Month of Cham-pions,” is 112-37for his career atElder and knowshe’s down to his

final opportunity to win a statetitle.

“I was just nervous or notprepared (in thepast) andneverthought I could compete withthe top (competition),” Morgansaid. “Now that I am at the top(ranked No. 6 in the state at 138pounds) and have beaten thoseat the top, I just have to use thatand work off that to fuel mystate run and look for a state ti-tle.”

Morgan’s success comes af-ter moving down to 138 poundsfrom 145 where he started theseason. It’s a move that tooksome dedication from the teamcaptain, but it proved to be theright one.

“He talked to me after theBrecksville (Invitational) and Isaid I think it’d be a good idea,”Roush said of themove down inweight. “He had to get his dietright and do it the rightway andhe did. … I think part of it isthat’s where he’s most comfort-able.”

Conners has battled throughinjury this season, but the 152-pounder is undefeated sincemaking thedrop inweightdownto 152 from 160 pounds before

the GCLmeet.“Iwasbangedupa littlebit in

the middle of the year, but nowI’m feeling good and every-thing’s just clicking,” the seniorsaid. “I know I can compete at160,but152 is just abetter fit forme.”

While only two of his ninedistrict qualifiers are movingon to Columbus, wins aren’t theonly qualification for having asuccessful meet in Roush’seyes.

“A great coach once told me‘Don’t letyourhighsget toohighand don’t let your lows get toolow, just look for constant im-provement each week,’” thecoach said. “That’s what we’relooking for. Are they better thisweek than theywere last week?If they are thenwe’re doing ourjob.”

GREEN TWP — . Attentionpeople ofGreenTownship:OakHills High School has a gym-nastics teamand they’reprettydarn good.

The program, just in itsthird year of existence, is set-ting a new standard for gym-nastics on theWest Side. CoachKristen Perica’s squad earnedits first first-place finishFeb. 5at the Seven Hills Quad thenfollowed that up with a third-place showing at the CityChampionships Feb.15, settinga new school record with ateam score of 130.975. Most re-cently, the Highlanders fin-ished fifth at the SouthwestDistrictmeet Feb. 22 at LakotaEast High School.

“We’re so excited,” Pericasaid. “Our goal this yearwas toplace top three in (the) city andtop five at districts and we didjust that. I’m really excited forour team.”

While they won’t be makingthe trip to state as a team tocompete, theywill be inColum-bus next weekend cheering onsenior teammate Paige Ches-ney. Chesney finished secondon the uneven bars, third inboth the vault and balancebeam and was fourth on floorroutine en route to an all-around title with a score of36.075 earning her a trip tostate in all four events.

“It obviously means a lot tome,” Chesney said of the first-place finish. “I’ve been doinggymnastics for a really longtime and I’m a senior this yearandso to finishoutmygymnas-tics career like this is prettyspecial.”

It was a day where the starsaligned for Chesney. Oak Hillsopened the rotations on the un-even bars and the senior naileda routine she hadn’t hit all sea-son, fueling her confidencethrough the roof.

“This was the meet that she

really hit everything that sheneeded to hit,” Perica said.“She’s been hitting pieces ateach meet and building andgetting better and better andthat just says she’s a fighterand that she’s dedicated andpassionate about gymnastics.

She works her butt off andthat’s why she’s there standingin first place.”

Chesney has been doinggymnastics since shewas verylittle,but this isherfirst seasonparticipating at the high schoollevel. Previously with Cincin-nati Gymnastics Academy inFairfield, Chesney wanted totry something different hersenior season.

“I’ve been doing club gym-nasticsmywhole life, so it’smysenior year and I knew I didn’twant to do gymnastics in col-lege, and being my last year Iwas just kind of looking forsomething for fun and I knewOak Hills gymnastics was newso I figured I’d try.”

Now she will spend a weekpreparing for her first-everOhio High School Athletic As-sociation Girls GymnasticsChampionships.

“We’re looking to upgradeher floor routine, but beyondthat just kind of polish her rou-tines and just be consistent inpractice all week and go outanddowhatshedidtoday,”Per-icasaid. “I think ifshedoes thatit will be a good meet for her.”

While Cheney may get theaccolades, a fifth-place finishat districts is a team result.Perica notes the performanceand leadership of sophomoreAllyssa McCarthy, senior Au-drey Laker and senior co-cap-tainMichelleBushlehavebeenthe backbone of the team allseason.

“I really feel like Paige, Au-drey and our other two seniors(Bushle and Destiny Genoe)reallypumpedupour teamthisyear and pushed the otherteammates,” she said.

BEAVERCREEK —When the Taylor Yellow-jackets put together aboys’ bowling team, theydidn’t mess around.

“Iwasworriedabout it,and didn’t sleep at all. Butthese guys came in andfired me up,” Vollrathsaid. “It feels so good, likea dream come true, be-cause I always wanted tobe a bowling coach. To be

turning 25 soon and to bewith these guys gettingready to go to state isamazing.”

What made it evenmore special wasVollrathdid it with family. Twocousins, Jesse Barrettand Brett Vollrath con-tributed to school history.Barrett and Allan Henleareco-captains. Like theircoach, Sickler, BarrettandHenle have been withthe team since the begin-ning. AdamBailey roundsout the starting five.

“It was senior leader-ship, and finding ways to

pick each other up,” thecoach said. “This hasbeenthe most solidified teamI’ve had in four years.They have a lot of talent,and have grown everyyear, and got better.”

Sickler, averaging 205,rolled a 652 series withscores of 194, 254 and 204during qualifying. The254 was 14 pins shy of hiscareer-high. Henle, with a590 series, was 12th. Voll-rath and Bailey crackedthe top 40.

“It’s going to be inter-esting at state, and I hopewe do well,” Sickler said.

I’m just saying ... brrrr- it’s winter – what to do?As a mother and a teacher,

the last thing I would do isencourage parents to taketheir kids to a movie instead ofplaying outdoors, sled riding,skiing (think local OlympianNick Groepper) or stayinginside and baking cookies, oreven reading a book.

I have to tell you, take yourkids to see “The Lego Movie.”

Let it be known that I haveno professional affiliation withthe Lego company. Admitted-ly, my own three sons grew upon anything Lego during theirchildhoods. Bright red, blue,green and yellow Legos werealways strewn along the fam-ily room floor in either theprocess of prolific childhood

creativity orin the throwsof a Lego Ga-lactic battlethat wouldensue in thecomfort of ourhome.

So my ini-tial thoughtwhen themovie cameout was, “Is

this a 90-minute commercialfor Legos disguised as a kids’movie?” And the emphaticanswer is “No way José!”

This movie is fun from thevery start. Chris Pratt playsEmmett, a regular “bee work-er” in a nifty Lego land com-

munity. He follows directions,and rarely deviates from thenorm, but finds himselffriendless. Under the rule ofthe evil tyrant, President Boss(played by Will Ferrell), Em-mett becomes an unlikely heroin a story filled with gags, popculture references for theadults and LEGOMania galorefor the kids.

Lots of other actors makecameo character/voice appear-ances, but it is in the femalelead of Lucy/Wildstyle (voicedby Elizabeth Banks) thatshows us Girl Legos can bejust as creative, brave anddaring as any other Lego char-acter. Morgan Freeman as theWise Sage and Liam Neesom

as the comedic force of justiceround out this fun cast of char-acters.

As I sat in the movie thea-tre on a cold, freezing winterafternoon with my 22-year-oldson watching this movie, Icouldn’t help but think what agreat way to spend an after-noon. This film has action,adventure and a heart that willtug at any parent who hasstepped on a Lego piece intheir bare feet and wanted topitch them all out the window.

It has a heart that willspeak to any child – boy or girlwho has treasured brightlycolored dominoes shaped link-ing Lego pieces and experi-enced the joy of their unlim-

ited imagination and the en-trance into the world of playwhere there are no rules andPirate Legos pieces can beconnected to Wild West Legosto pink Unikitty Legos to joinforces to defend the worldfrom imagined evil forces!

Childhood is fleeting. Forthose who are children, forthose who parent them or evenfor those who just want tolaugh on a cold winter day,may I suggest “The LegoMovie?”

Brrr its winter and here issomething warm to do!

The state Legislature haslimited eligibility through anincome qualifier for the RealEstate Tax Homestead Ex-emption for most new appli-cants after Jan. 1, 2014.

Thisclamp-downis yet anotherin a series ofmoves madeby the stateto offloadexpendituresonto localgovernmentsand citizens.

Otherchanges

made in the past two yearsinclude more than a 50 per-cent cut of state funding tocounties, municipalities, andtownships and elimination of12½ percent rollbacks onnew or replacement levies onowner-occupied residentialproperty taxes.

Taken together, these cutswill literally save the state(and revert these costs backto citizens and communities)well over a billion dollarsannually with that amountgrowing every year due tonew levies coming on, thedeath of current Homesteadrecipients, and the potentialgrowth in state tax revenues.

Under the current versionof the law, taxpayers alreadyreceiving the Homesteadexemption (normally wortharound $300 to $400 per yearfor a homeowner) will be“grandfathered” and will beeligible to receive the breakgoing forward… unless thereis a change in their statussuch as not owning and livingin an Ohio residence or nolonger being classed as total-ly disabled.

Special attention should betaken by those who turned 65before Jan. 1, 2014, and havenot yet filed the first time forHomestead exemption.

You have a one-time oppor-tunity to apply and be ap-proved without income qual-ification as long as you ownand live in the same homethat you did on Jan. 1, 2013.

Such “late application”must be received at the audi-tor’s office on or before June

2, 2014.New applicants becoming

eligible by age or disabilityafter Jan. 1, 2014, will nowneed to meet an income testto be approved for the Home-stead exemption.

A taxpayer and spousewith an individual or jointhousehold Ohio adjustedgross income (OAGI) of morethan $30,500 on their 2013state income tax return willnot be eligible for the exemp-tion in the current year.

If, in the future, the tax-payer(s) report an incomebelow the eligibility thresh-old, the exemption may beapproved for that year.

NewHomestead appli-cants who are not required tofile an Ohio income tax re-turn must submit appropriatedocumentation to the countyauditor to prove income eligi-bility.

It should be noted thatOhio adjusted gross income isnot necessarily the same asthe total income received in ahousehold.

Receipt of Social Securitybenefits would be a majorexample of an income sourcenot considered for OAGI andthus not affecting eligibilityfor the Homestead exemp-tion.

The normal filing periodfor the Homestead exemptionis between the first Mondayin January and the first Mon-day of June each year.

Annually, in March, wemail an inquiry concerningcontinuing eligibility to tax-payers who received theHomestead exemption in theprevious year.

If there is no change in theeligibility status no action isnecessary by the taxpayer.

More detail about theHomestead tax exemptionmay be found on the Hamil-ton County auditor’s website(hcauditor.org) or taxpayersmay visit the auditor’s officeon the third floor of the Coun-ty Administration Building at138 E. Court St. in downtownCincinnati. The phone num-ber is 946-4099.

Dusty Rhodes is the HamiltonCounty auditor.

Feb. 19 questionDo you agree with premise of

Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., lawsuitthat the Obama administration isviolating the Fourth Amendmentby the National Security Agency(NSA) collecting Americans’phonemetadataandrequestingaruling that would halt the pro-gramandpurgeall previously col-lected data from governmentdatabases?Why or why not?

“Rand Paul is a pure dema-gogue. He knows less about theConstitution than a high schoolstudent.

“The issue isoneofprovidingsecurity for the country. Peoplebelieve that their telephonecon-versations are beingmonitored.How uninformed they are.

“Rational statements are notthe stock of Doctor Paul. For aneyedoctorhehasmyopicvision.Amaleversionofa formerAlas-kan governor.

“He should stay with medi-cine where he might have someknowledge. His knowledge ofthe law is based upon a desire todisparage the president who isalso a Constitutional lawyer.

“Doctor Paul is out of hisleague. Sensationalism is histrademark.”

J.S.D.

“Of course, Rand Paul's law-suit is ridiculous. He's just test-ing thewaters togetmomentumfrom the tea party and right-wing bigots for his potential runfor president in 2016.

“Did he complain about thissnoopingwhentheBushadmini-stration was doing it after 9-11?Doing itnowandnot thenmakesthis look kind of fishy.

“If a moderate, more sensi-ble conservative were making

this suit, it might be serious —but Rand Paul is neither.

“And he'll never get electedin 2016.”

TRog

“Yes, I agree with SenatorPaul.What theNSA is doing vio-lates the 4th Amendment rightsof everyperson inAmericawitha phone. Onewarrant can not beused to cover every personwitha phone in America.

“President Obama promisedus ‘themosttransparentadmini-stration in history,’ but all we'veseen is scandal, lie and cover upafter scandal, lie and cover up.

“Howmanymore of our con-stitutional rights is Obama go-ing to destroy before he's heldaccountable?”

J.S.K.

“Do we really think just be-causetheysaywewon'tdo itanymore they are going to do it anyless. I don't know I don't haveanything to hide.”

P.R.

“I can't believe this old left-winger finally can agree onsomething that extreme right-wingerhas tosay.While thegov-ernment might need to accesssome of the info it is collecting,it should be only on a basis ofneed for national security andthen only with warrants.

“None of this carte blanchec--p that they do now. I doubtthat there is presently muchabuseof thegathered infoasyetbut it certainly has the potentialfor it.

“Create the right programand all that data can and proba-bly will be used against us. Canyou imagine if Nixon and J. Ed-gar had this stuff and the abilityto use it?

“Heck, a lot of us would havebeen rounded for national de-fense issues just because wedidn't like bombing Cambodiaor thought that people of colorshould have the unimpededright to vote.

Sorry, I digress. I know thatmany of you will say ‘so what, Igot nothing to hide,’ but everytime a legitimate freedom, suchas right to privacy, is broached

for one it is broached for all.“Whatmay seem benign now

canturnverymalignantwithoutthe oversight of the people.”

J.Z.

“It is fascinating towatch theRepublicans pervert their ownthemes in order to make whatsounds to them like a goodwhack at Obama or whicheverother ‘enemy’ theyareafter thatparticular day.

“Any other time in the last 70years it would be just fine withthem to limit public liberties forthe sakeof ‘security.’ I'mnot im-pressed that Rand Paul's brandof ‘libertarian,’ right-wing goo-finess is any different from therest of that crowd. It's just plainold right-wing goofiness withear muffs and tap shoes.”

I'm inclined to support priva-cy, and I don't think there is anyevidence that the NSA data col-lection has led to any crimes be-ingprevented, but it is pretty in-nocuous compared to the facerecognitionsoftwarebeingusedin liquor stores or what we allhave to go through in order totake an airplane these days.

“If I thought therewasanele-ment of reasonable discussion,and not just political mudsling-ing behind this flap, I would paymore attention to it.”

N.F.

Feb. 12 questionColorado and Washington

have legalized retail sale of mari-juana. Is this a good idea? ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?

“One of the arguments for le-galizingmarijuana is that manypeoplearegoingtosmokeitany-how, and it could be taxed. Well,manypeoplearesmoking tobac-co anyhow, and tobacco is taxed.

“At a time when health au-thorities are trying to persuadepeople to stop smoking tobacco,it isdifficult tobelieve thatadif-ferent kind of smoke will im-prove public health.

“Cigarettes were inventedjust before the Titanic sank in1912. When World War II endedin 1945, a large majority of thepopulation was smoking. Itwasn't until the mid 1950s thatsuspicions about the relation-ship between smoking and can-cer began to arise and it took an-other quarter of a century forthe evidence to become conclu-sive.

“Something similar is ex-pected to happen ifmarijuana islegalized.

“A large number of peoplewill have to smoke marijuanafor a long timebefore the healthconsequences begin to appear.”

FEBRUARY 26, 2014 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • B3LIFE

It was a week of “lastofs.” We split and stackedthe last of our wood(check out our smilingphotos on my blog) andwe had our last sled ride

of the year.Son Jasonvideoed itnot just forfun, but, ashe said, “tohave evi-dence thatyou, mom,actuallymade itdown thehill.” Well,

I not only made it downthe hill but I went fartherthan any of the kids. Sothere. I also used the lastof our garden butternutsquash to make a nicepasta dish, which I’msharing today. All these“last ofs” remind me thatspring is not far away.

Pasta withbutternut squashand sage

This is a real im-promptu, go to taste reci-pe. The original calledfor fresh sage and I onlyhad dried frommy herbgarden. Unless you addred pepper flakes, don’tlook for a lot of spice inthis dish, just a nice,mellow flavor.

1butternut squash, about 3

pounds, peeled andchopped into 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 large red onion, coarselychopped

Olive oil8 oz. whole wheat shortpasta

4 tablespoons butter orolive oil

Dry or fresh sage leaves(start with 1 teaspoon dryor 6 fresh, chopped and gofrom there)

2-3 teaspoons minced garlicSalt and pepper (I added abit of crushed red pepperflakes at the end)

Parmesan for garnish

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Mix squash,onion, salt and pepper,and enough olive oil tocoat. Place in single layeron pan and roast about30-40 minutes, untilsquash is tender andlightly browned, turninghalfway through. Cookpasta. Cook butter, sageand garlic until garlic isgolden. Add squash mix-ture, and pasta (I didn’tadd all the pasta at once)to taste. Add more sage ifyou like. Add red pepperflakes if you want. Sprin-kle with cheese. Serves3-4.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Easy-to-peel wintersquash/pumpkins: Worthsharing again. Poke holesall over with fork. Put in

microwave on high for afewminutes. This softensthe skin. Remove withmitts. Let cool and peel.

You know what? Thesquash/onion mixture isso good on its own that itwould make a great sidedish.

Homemadehoney-lemon coughsyrup

Ever since I talkedabout this on RonWil-son’s gardening show,I’ve had requests toshare. Good for sorethroat coughs and justabout anything upperrespiratory that ails you.Raw honey is what Irecommend for its antibi-otic properties, healthyenzymes and other goodnutrients. Check out myblog for more healthqualities of lemon andhoney, photos and a hon-ey poultice recipe. Here’show I make the coughsyrup:

Roll a washed lemonaround (organic pre-ferred) on counter, put-ting pressure on it withyour hand to help releasethe juices and breakdown cell structure. Cutin chunks and pour honeyover to cover. Smoosh alldown with a spoon. Letsit in refrigerator a cou-ple of days before using.Store in refrigerator.

Take a teaspoonful asneeded, several times aday if necessary.

More goetta storiesThey keep coming in!Mueller family goetta.

Joyce Mueller’s familymakes goetta at Christ-mas as a gift to them-selves. She said: “Ourfamily uses pork andveal. We put the meat in apot; add water, onion,celery (the leafy part),carrots, pickling spice,

bay leaf, allspice andbouillon and cook like astock. After simmeringfor about an hour, wegrind the meat, reservethe water into which weplace the ground meat, alittle barley then stir inquick oats until one can’tadd any more oats. Placein the bread loaf pans.We fry in a cast ironskillet.”

Carol’s vegetariangoetta. Reader Sandi W.loved Carol’s goetta and

wanted to know if it canbe frozen. Hopefully,reader Julie Bruns, whoshared the recipe, will letus know.

Not every heart procedure requires open-heart surgery. There are

other, less disruptive ways and we’re working to find them every day.

Whether it’s a nonsurgical procedure or a robotic-assisted surgery,

TriHealth Heart Institute uses an entire network of physicians, nurses

and technologists to coordinate care for the best possible outcome.

Clifton | Western Hills | Western Ridge

When it comes to cardiac care, we preferan open mind and a closed chest.
