Sycamore Township is wrap- ping up its $3 million access management project between Euclid Avenue and Montgome- ry Road, which was mostly com- plete last year. The Kenwood Road project included burying utilities, add- ing a landscaped median and re- surfacing the street, south of Montgomery Road and past the Interstate 71 ramps. Township maintenance su- perintendent Tracy Kellums said the contractor is now re- placing the sidewalks because there was an issue with the con- crete, and once that’s finished they’ll fix the road’s surface and re-stripe crosswalks at the in- tersections. All that work, Kellums said, will not cost township taxpay- ers any extra money because it was part of the original con- tract. Once construction is com- plete Kellums said they’ll get started on a new access road be- hind the Wendy’s, Burger King and Graeter’s. “As soon as our acquisitions are done we’ll be getting under- way,” he said. “The engineering is done.” Trustees recently bought the land needed for the access road construction, and the project with land acquisition is expect- ed to cost about $1 million. The access road will be built behind the three businesses and allow drivers to get to the traf- fic light by Chase Bank to turn left and head toward Kenwood Towne Center, said Greg Bick- ford, the township’s assistant administrator/planning and zoning director. Left-turns from these drive- ways are restricted by the me- dian, but Bickford said the ex- isting driveways would remain for right-in, right-out traffic. Construction is also expect- ed to begin soon at the Montgo- mery and Hosbrook roads inter- section. Storm sewer and water main work will start first, followed by burying utilities at the intersec- tion, Kellums said. Follow Lisa Wakeland on Twitter at @lisawakeland.

The presentation of the Ma- deira & Indian Hill Joint Fire District before Indian Hill Vil- lage Council and Madeira City Council will be- gin at 7 p.m. at the district’s In- dian Hill fire sta- tion at the corner of Drake and Shawnee Run roads, said Dina Minneci, Indian Hill city man- ager. The joint fire district’s board of trustees recently voted to recommend new firehouses – estimated to cost in total as much as $7.5 million – after re- viewing a study of the physical conditions, code compliance and functionality of the fire sta- tions conducted by MSA Archi- tects. “The study looked at all op- tions including renovating, up- grading, replacing both or com- bining and replacing both with one central station,” said Indian Hill Vice Mayor Daniel Feigel- son, who is a member of the joint fire district’s board of trustees. “At first I was unsure why we needed to do anything since I have not heard of any degrada- tion of service from a life-safe- ty-fire standpoint, and since from a street-view perspective everything seems fine. “However, when I took tours of both stations and then read the detailed MSA report I real- ized how inadequate both sta- tions are in terms of code com- pliance, safety, efficiency and livability,” Feigelson said. “As a result, after looking at all the options, I came to the con- clusion that replacing both sta- tions is the right option.” Funding options include bonds levies or the use of money reserves. “Clearly, life-safety issues must take priority over all that the joint fire district does and to the extent that this project en- ables us to maintain or improve that metric, then I am hopeful that both communities will find a way to come up with a funding mechanism that works for each community,” Feigelson said. MSA Architects came up with these options for fire and paramedic services with costs in these ranges: » Indian Hill firehouse at 6475 Drake Road – about $1.8 million to $2 million to renovate and about $3.7 million to $4 mil- lion to rebuild. The firehouse was built in 1940. Bays were add- ed in 1960 and 1982 and a meet- ing/training room added in 1994. » Madeira firehouse at 7205 Miami Ave. – about $1.5 million to $1.6 million to renovate and about $3.3 million to $3.5 million to rebuild. The building con- verted into the firehouse in 1962 was a home built in 1890.

The board that oversees fireand paramedic services in Indi-anHill andMadeirawill explainat a joint, special meeting ofelected officials Wednesday,May 7, why it is recommendingfirehouses in both cities be re-built.

The presentation of the Ma-deira & IndianHill Joint FireDistrict beforeIndian Hill Vil-lage Council andMadeira CityCouncil will be-gin at 7 p.m. atthe district’s In-dian Hill fire sta-tion at the cornerof Drake and

Shawnee Run roads, said DinaMinneci, Indian Hill city man-ager.

The joint fire district’s boardof trustees recently voted torecommend new firehouses –estimated to cost in total asmuch as $7.5 million – after re-viewing a study of the physicalconditions, code complianceand functionality of the fire sta-tions conducted by MSA Archi-tects.

“The study looked at all op-tions including renovating, up-grading, replacing both or com-bining and replacing both withone central station,” said IndianHill Vice Mayor Daniel Feigel-son, who is a member of thejoint fire district’s board oftrustees.

“At first I was unsure why

weneededtodoanythingsinceIhave not heard of any degrada-tion of service from a life-safe-ty-fire standpoint, and sincefrom a street-view perspectiveeverything seems fine.

“However, when I took toursof both stations and then readthe detailed MSA report I real-ized how inadequate both sta-tions are in terms of code com-pliance, safety, efficiency andlivability,” Feigelson said.

“As a result, after looking atall theoptions, Icametothecon-

clusion that replacing both sta-tions is the right option.”

Funding options includebonds leviesor theuseofmoneyreserves.

“Clearly, life-safety issuesmust take priority over all thatthe joint firedistrict does and tothe extent that this project en-ables us tomaintain or improvethat metric, then I am hopefulthat both communities will findaway to comeupwith a fundingmechanism that works for eachcommunity,” Feigelson said.

MSA Architects came upwith these options for fire andparamedic services with costsin these ranges:

» Indian Hill firehouse at6475 Drake Road – about $1.8million to $2 million to renovateand about $3.7 million to $4 mil-lion to rebuild. The firehousewasbuilt in1940.Bayswereadd-ed in 1960 and 1982 and a meet-ing/training roomadded in1994.

»Madeira firehouse at 7205Miami Ave. – about $1.5 millionto $1.6 million to renovate and

about $3.3million to$3.5millionto rebuild. The building con-verted into the firehouse in1962was a home built in 1890. Afterseveral remodels, an additionwas built onto the back of thestation and a garage added in1992.

» Central firehouse at a loca-tion not settled on – about $5.8million to $6.1million to build.

A long-quieted contro-versy about sidewalks inSycamore Township mayre-emerge in the comingmonths.

Township trustees areconsidering installingsidewalks on HosbrookRoad as part of a trafficcalming project, likelyscheduled to start nextyear because of the ongo-ing work at the street’sintersectionwithMontgo-mery Road.

When the issue cameupseveralyearsagosomeresidentswho liveonHos-brook Road or in nearbysubdivisions supportedadding sidewalks to makeit safer foradultsandchil-drenwhowalk in the area.

Other residents wereagainst the plan and evenpresented a formal pet-ition of opposition to thetrustees, saying it woulddisrupt landscaping andtrees, orbe tooclose to thehouses.

Now, with the trafficcalming work around thecornerTrusteeTomWeid-man said it’s time to revis-it the sidewalks.

“It’sbeen thebig,whiteelephant in the roomand Ithink we need to bring itout, have a conversationand decidewhat we’re go-ing to do,” he said.

“Ifwe can do it withoutdisrupting too manyyards I think itmakesa lotof sense for us.”

TrusteeDennyConnor,who lives in one of thesubdivisions off Hos-brook Road, said the ma-jority of property ownerswould now support thesidewalk plan.

“The biggest area ofcontention is the middleblock, between LynnfieldCourt and Miami Hills(Drive), and most are op-posed because that’swhere the most landscap-ing is,” he said.

After speaking withsomeof theneighbors lastyear, Connor said theyseem to be in favor of thesidewalks. And betterconnectivityandaccess inthe Kenwood area is im-portant, said Weidman,whowason the township’stwo zoning boards beforebecoming trustee.

“I’ve been preachingfor 20 years that we don’tdo enough for pedestriantraffic,” he said.

“Wehave to start figur-ing out how to get betterpedestrian access to allthese neighborhoods.”

Hosbrook is a short,two-lane county roadway,and half is in SycamoreTownship and the otherhalf is in Madeira, whichis planning to build side-walks along Euclid Ave-

nue, between Ken ArbreDrive andMiami Avenue.

Greg Bickford, Syca-more Township’s plan-ning and zoning director/assistant administrator,said they still need to de-cide whether to start theHosbrook Road trafficcalming project this yearor next, and the sidewalksare the biggest point ofcontention.

While the final plan isnot set yet, the trafficcalming does includegateways at the residen-tial sections, reduced in-tersection widths, tree-lined islands, improvedpavement markings andsidewalkson thewest sideto Lynnfield Court.

New additions to the St. Ger-trude School curriculumwill beimplemented during the 2014-2015 school year.

Thesechanges, perPrincipalSr. Mary Aquinas, “Are beingintroduced to further theschool’smissionofofferingaca-demic excellence in the Domin-ican tradition: preaching truth,practicing virtue, and lovingone another in Christ.”

Here is her summary:

Acceleratedmath (AM)“During the last several

years, the AM program’s sig-nificant improvements, specifi-cally, its new online component,will assist math reinforcementin the classroom and at home,providing important assess-ment data to both teachers andparents. Like Accelerated

Reader, the improved programhelpsstudentsestablishgoals inorder to encourage growth andadvancement in various mathskills. The program is sched-uled to be in place prior to sum-mer break. This will encouragestudents to reinforce acquiredskills at home and to provideteacherswith an understandingof incoming students’ capabili-ties and weaknesses.”

Extracurricular mathcompetitions

“Wewill participate in an ex-tracurricular mathematicscompetition program such asMath Olympiad, Mathletics, orMathCounts.Afinaldetermina-tion will be made on which pro-gram later in the spring.”

Expanded Latincurriculum

“Latin instruction will be ex-pandedinto theprimarygrades,onceaweek in20-30minute ses-sions to second and third-grad-ers, and 30-40 minute sessionsto fourth and fifth graders. Thiswill prepare them for more in-depth study in the junior highgrades. The focus of this pri-mary instruction will be basicvocabulary and recitation ofLatin prayers. As many know,Latin forms the basis of overhalf theEnglish language. Stud-ies show that instruction in Lat-in when compared to study ofother or no foreign language in-creases test scores in vocabu-lary, reading, andmathproblemsolving. We want to reap thosebenefits at SGS.”

Study skills“Now offered as a junior

highelective, this coursewill bearequirement forall fifthgradestudents. Early development ofgood habits in material and in-formation organization and ef-fective time management be-comesmore critical as studentsadvance in school. These studyskills will be reinforced incourses in the junior highgrades.”

Logic“Beginning in the 2014-15

school year,Logicwill becomeajunior high course for all stu-dents in grades six-eight. Logicforms the basis for all criticalreasoning and supports educa-tion in mathematics, Englishlanguage arts, and all other aca-

demic pursuits that requirecritical thinking.”

Keyboarding“This instruction, including

“touch typing,” will also be in-troduced in the sixth grade toprepare the students for the in-creased demand of essay as-signments in junior high, highschool and college. Touch typ-ing is an important skill that al-lows students to type withoutthinking, freeing them to focuson higher-order thinking, mostimportantly on their ideas andwhat they are writing.”

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

INDIAN HILL — The last timeIndian Hill High School’s base-ball team had a winning season,Jerry Narron was still the man-ager of the Cincinnati Reds. Theaverage annual price of gas wasaround $2.79 per gallon.

In his first year in 2013 ascoach of the Braves, John Youngled them to a respectable 7-6 Cin-cinnati Hills League mark, butwas 11-15 overall.

This season has been similar,with a decent CHL record (4-7 asof April 30), but some tough luckover the spring as a whole.

There was no better exampleof that thanApril 21,when IndianHill was in a 2-1 game withleague-leading Wyoming goingto the seventh inning. Fromthere, the Cowboys scored 11runs turning a close game into arout.

“That’s kind of how our sea-son’s been,” Young said. “We ei-ther pitch well, don’t hit andmake a few errors, or pitch well,don’t hit and make a bunch of er-rors. That’s just typical highschool baseball.”

The teams that fare well areable to cut down on mental er-rors, according to Young. Someof those come as a result of hav-ing seasonal players.

“You get kids that play a lot inthe summer andyouget kids thatdon’t play in the summerand justplay at school,” Young said.“There’s far more that aren’tplaying in summer. We probablyhave about four or five kids onvarsity and three or four on JVthat play baseball in the fall,spring and summer out of 30-35kids.”

In districts like Indian Hill,there often are multiple optionsfor a student. There’s also the de-mands of other sports, campsand vacations.

In addition, fees for summerteams are often considerablymore than playing for the schoolteam.

“I don’t know financial situa-tion of kids or families,” Youngsaid. “I live in Centerville thathassomemagnificenthomes,butnot everyone’s rich. I think Indi-an Hill’s pretty much the same.”

Among statistical leaders forthe Braves is 6-foot-3, 220-poundTonyAlford. The senior has been

leading the CHL in strikeouts.“Tony Alford’s pitching fan-

tastic,” Young said. “He’s beenreal consistent. Chandler Harrisand Colton Conn are hitting theball prettywell andChrisQuinn’shit better the last few games.”

Harris is just a freshman andConn is heading to play baseballat Trine University. Both havebeen .300-plus hitters along withseniors Quinn and Noah Kent.Young’s other innings-eaters onthemound have been sophomoreTannerHelms, seniorEvanClarkand freshman Greg Nevins.

“When we don’t make errorsand are mentally in the game,we’re competitive,” Young said.“I think this team is decent andhas thecapabilityofa .500seasonor a winning season. If you’rehustling, making decent contact,good things will happen. Lately,we’ve done some of that. Beforethat, we weren’t catching manybreaks.”

After a May 7 road game atMariemont, Indian Hill’s at Tala-wanda May 8, back home withMariemont May 9 and at Chami-nade-Julienne towrapup thereg-ular season May 12.

DEERPARK—TheRonaldRea-gan Cross County Highway willsoon have a new frequent visitoras Chad Cornelius will be com-muting from the Ross area to-ward Deer Park High School.

The 32-year-old former Harri-son assistant coach has beencharged with resurrecting theWildcats’basketballprogram.Af-ter a12-10winning season in 2012,Deer Park fell to eight wins in2013 andwas just 2-21 last season.

“It’s something I’ve been

thinking about fora long time,” Cor-nelius said of theopportunity. “It’sabsolutely a goalof mine. It’s afresh start and arebuilding pro-ject. We’ll startfrom the ground-

up, it’s exciting.”Cornelius has met with about

15 of the players already and isputting out feelers for more. Be-ginning June 2, Ohio coaches aregranted 10 days of practice andplay between June and July. The

new coach expects to hit theground running on day one.

“I want a list from Rob Ha-mann, the athletic director, of ev-ery football guy who wasn’t play-ing a winter sport,” Corneliussaid. “I want every athlete avail-able.”

Deer Park’s style of play hasyet to be determined. However,the 2000 Harrison graduate hassome firm basketball beliefs.

“Personnel’s going to decidethat,” Cornelius said. “We’re go-ing to play man-to-man defense.It’s what I believe in. We’re goingto sit down and guard people.

That’s our staple. We like to run afour or five out motion. We’ll runwhen we can early. If not, we’lllook for a shot and pass the ballaround.”

Deer Park’s last CincinnatiHills League title came six yearsago in the 2007-08 season. Sincethen, Madeira’s won it threetimes, Indian Hill twice and Fin-neytown, Mariemont and Read-ing shared it in 2010-11.

“I like the league a lot,” Corne-lius said. “At Harrison we playedTaylor. All of those schools careaboutbasketball. I’msoexcited toplay the Wyomings and Indian

Hills.”Slated to return for the Wild-

cats are second-leading scorerJosh Newman, a current sopho-more, and juniorElijahLucas, thethird-leading scorer. Others whocould step up from last year’s ros-ter include freshmenJordanYell-ing and Mikail Barker, sopho-more Zach Cain and junior KyleWimer.

“It could be completely differ-ent than last year, I don’t know,”Cornelius said of his prospectiveteam.

First on the agenda is chang-ing perception and the record.

FAIRFAX — Leave it tothe Beatles.

After a student quartetsang “Here Comes theSun,”membersof theSev-en Hills School communi-ty donned hard hats anddug inshovels to turnovera new dawn in Stingersathleticswith the ceremo-nial groundbreaking for a175,00 square-foot athlet-ic complex.

The May 1 ceremonytook place with actualearth-moving equipmentworking in the back-ground on the $2.2millionproject that will providetwo artificial turf fieldsfor soccer and lacrosse, asoftball diamond, seating,lighting, parking and ac-cess to a new concessionstand/restroom facilityadjacent to the school’sexisting turf field and

track.The facility should be

open in time for the startof the 2014-15 school year.

Head of School ChrisGarten called for fans tobe ready to sit under thelights come fall and cheerwhen a senior-laden soc-cer team “puts the win-ning goal in the back ofthe net against (MiamiValley Conference rival)Summit (Country Day) onourway to a state champi-onship.”

Seven Hills athletic di-rector Brian Phelps saidthe project has been 18months of planning lead-ing up to a four-monthconstruction window.

“In the fall, being a Kthrough 12 school, wehave more than 30 soccerteams,” Phelps said. “Ourfirst thought was we needmore and better practicespace for all those teams.Then we started thinking,

let’s think a little biggerthan just that. Let’s seewhat we can do.

“With the setting wehave, building stands intothehill andconnectingev-erything will make it avery Ivy League-like fa-cility.”

Seven Hills boardmember Patrick Rogersof Indian Hill chaired theathletic facilities commit-tee that spearheaded theproject.

“It’s great gratification(to see the project startconstruction),” he said. “Iknow how impactful it’sgoing to be for the wholecommunity. Everyone isgoing to benefit fromthis.”

Rogers said a small co-terie of donors funded theentire project.

“It wasn’t too hard (toraise themoney),”hesaid.“People recognize the val-ue of athletics at the

school, how many peoplewill get to use the facili-ties. I was very gratifiedto see the responsewe gotwhen we asked.”

The second field -which will be usedmostlyfor practices and middleschool events - will benamed The DeWitt/GoodField after two of the do-nor families who contrib-uted to the project.

Phelps said the facilitywill be informally knownas theSevenHillsAthleticComplex. Neither thecomplex in general northe main turf field camewith naming rights.

“That speaks so muchto our community,” hesaid. “People wanted toget involved with thisanonymously just tobene-fit the kids.

“What’s so nice abouthaving this is now we canplay boys and girls on thesame day. We can play

high school and middleschool games on the sameday. We can have prac-tices at the same time onsafe fields and get thekids home earlier.We’re aschool first, obviously,andwewant tocater to theacademic demands the

kids have.”SevenHills spokesman

KarlaDejean said severalyouth and communitysports organizations al-ready have been in con-tact and will partner withthe school to use the newfacilities when they open.

A publication of

Madeira City Council hasdefined strategic planning forthe Muchmore HistoricalArea as a top priority. Theseefforts will identify, in ac-cordance with Ordinance12-27, complementary histori-cal and retail uses in a waythat benefits the citizens ofMadeira.

Our next steps in the Eco-nomic Development Commit-tee will model the processused with the Railroad Depot,with additional engagement ofbusinesses in and around theMuchmore Historical Area as

noted in ourlast councilmeeting.

We willcreate aframework ofdevelopmentgoals for theproperty at7010 and 7014Miami Ave.,then hold acommunity

and business engagementsession to finalize and deter-mine action steps.

Receiving estimated main-

tenance costs on the Much-more and Hosbrook housessituated on the Miami Avenueproperty also opens the ques-tions of whether the proper-ties are optimally utilizedwith the structures in place asthey are today.

This could mean renova-tions or changes to the struc-tures are needed to comple-ment the property and eco-nomic development goals.

Per the letter of Cleo Hos-brook when she conveyed theproperty in 1989, it was herwish that the city would im-

prove the property togetherwith the former railroad sta-tion, thus making an attrac-tive historical center of thecity.

Our goal will be to proposeuses that plan for economicdestination points that thrivein part because of the integra-tion of significant historicalfeatures.

The depot renovation,along with opening of Centen-nial Plaza and other recentimprovements, provide theperfect backdrop to furtherthis plan preserving historical

links while promoting eco-nomic development at ourretail epicenter.

I look forward to workingwith council, the community,and businesses in and ad-jacent to the Muchmore His-toric Area, including both theMadeira Women’s Club andCreativities, on the goal-set-ting process.

Planning for Madeira historical area a priority

NancySpencerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

It was addressed to me. Mywife did not receive one, al-though she is a registered Re-publican.

Knowing the tea party dis-trust of wimmin in power, thiswas understandable. It was the2014 Republican Platform Sur-vey, very official; yet, uponreading it; it was very unim-pressive.

Section I: Presidential Per-formance and Issues -

Do you believe Obama islooking out for you? Ans. If Re-publicans continue to be so ob-sessed with Obama, they willnever get around to solving ourreal problems. Obama is histo-ry; he is a lame duck! Get onwith exposing the real prob-lems, and solve them.

Is our nation on the right

track? Ans. Ifyou are a bil-lionaire, yes. Ifyou live in pov-erty, no.

How muchattentionshould thecampaign payto: Border Se-curity, Consti-tutional Free-doms, Spend-

ing, Lowering Taxes, Obama’sleft-wing radical policies, Re-pealingObamacare,Gas/OilEx-ploration, JobCreation, astrongmilitary, and amnesty for ille-gals.

Notice, most of these ques-tions revolve around money.Also notice that nowhere inthese questions do they address

ournumberoneproblem,whichis the long-term DEBT! TheDEBT is not addressed any-where in this document, in anysection…WHY? They are toofrightened!

Section II: Economic Issues -Obama is mentioned in five ofseven questions. These are po-litical, not economic questions,as the Debt is not mentionedonce. The questions also askabout taxes, regulations, spend-ing offsets, mandates, inflation(it is deflation that we need toworry about), presidential poli-cies, and a balanced budgetamendment.

Section III: EntitlementSpending -This iswhere theRe-publican Party will implode. Itwill lose its base of Old People,who all vote. Don’t give us this

manure about “it won’t affectanyone over 50”. We don’t buyany of your political chatter.Werecognize thatall politiciansareliars and thieves. It is up to us todetermine who will steal less.Again, the Debt is not men-tioned. Solve the debt, and wewill be willing to discuss Enti-tlement Spending. It is all partof solving the really bigpicture,our $222 Trillion federal debt.

Section IV:National Security- There are seven questions.Only one is rather interesting.“Is it time to close our militarybases in Europe.” I have giventhis some thought. Our docs,and our hospitals, are not al-lowed to use surgical tech-niques, drugs, or devices,whether instruments or im-plants, that have not been ap-

proved by the FDA. This is along and costly process. Haveyou noticed that our soldiers,blown up in Iraq or Afghani-stan, are taken to Germanyfirst, for medical treatment?This is because they can get thespecial medical care there,which they cannot get here.

Awake you Puritans of theRepublican Party. Address thedebt. You cannot solve our na-tions problems, unless you ad-dress the national long-termdebt of $222 trillion.

If you cower, refusing to dothis, youwill vanish, like thePu-ritans of old.

Last week’s questionDo you agree with the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration’sproposed rules that would banthesaleofe-cigarettestoanyoneunder 18, but would not restrictflavored products, online salesor advertising?Why orwhy not?

“I would suggest that U.S.Food & Drug Administrationban electronic cigarettes foreveryone regardless of flavor.That would also mean no moreordering online and advertis-ing.

“Who are we kidding? Elec-tronic or non-electronic, ciga-rettes promote bad habits andbad health. Let's ban all ciga-rettes and have a healthiercountry and better air for all ofus.

“Then, let's ban fast foodandsoftdrinksandmaybewe'dall be thinner and our childrenwouldn't be learning anotherbad habit from the adults intheir lives.

“While we're at it, let's putall the drug pushers behindbarsandstopdrugsfromenter-ing the United States, then wewouldn'thavetoreadaboutanymore people dying of drugoverdoses.

“That would be my plan.”E.E.C.

“I have mixed feelingsabout bans on any products ofthis type.Theban (Prohibition)of alcohol didn’t work, it onlyincreasedcrimeandfilledpris-ons. The ‘war on drugs’ has hadthe same results, only on amuch larger scale.

“While I doubt that a partialban (age and product type) one-cigarettes would ever reachthat level, we don’t want ourchildren using these products.

“At the same time adultsshould be allowed to make thechoice for themselves no mat-

ter how harmful to them itmight be (you have the right tobe stupid).

“The best we can do is try toeducateourchildrenasearly intheir life as possible and set agood example ourselves. If theparents have these products inthe home there is a strongchance the children will trythem.”

T.H.C.

“Seeing that I have been asmoker all my life I would doanything I could to keep chil-dren off cigarettes.”

COMMUNITY PRESS

I was in of those moods to-day and suddenly realized Idon’t give a rat’s @#% aboutanything anymore. So, if I ap-pear to be a little negative, Iknow it’s not permanent.

1: I started out with nothingand still have most of it.

2: Igotmyhead togetherandnowmy body’s falling apart.

3: IfGodwantedme to touchmy toes, he’d have put them onmy knees.

4: Some days you’re the topdog and on others, you’re thehydrant.

5: It’s hard to make a come-back when you haven’t beenanywhere.

6:Kids in thebackseatcauseaccidents. Accidents in theback seat cause kids (thanks

M.R.) goodone.

7: I nowthink aboutNoah. Howcould you livewith thatstench fromallthose animals?If he had justkilled one ofthe mosqui-toes, I think I’dappreciate his

effort more.8: I feel terrible about that

air crash and all those peoplewho died. But, really, findingAmelia Earheart would havebeen easier. Three weeks andany parts found are 1,000 milesfrom where it crashed. And,

they are still looking.9: A report on “HBO’s “Real

Sports” tellsus thatover50per-cent of college graduates whoplayed sports have a thirdgrade reading level. Just listento some of them when inter-viewed on TV after winning agame. I can’t understand somany of them and they arespeaking English. This isn’tright.

10: I’mgoing to cheermyselfup now and think about Ohioselling marijuana. I’m wager-ing it will be a very pleasantshopping experience.

MyMom, Mary Nader,really did follow the beatof a different drummer.

Momwas traditional inmanywaysexceptwhen itcame to clothes. She was

the first onour blockto wearpetal push-ers (we callthem Ca-pris now).Not somuch be-cause theywere fash-ionable,but be-

cause they were comfort-able. I’malittlebit likemyMom in that respect.

I like being fashion-able, but comfort trumpsfashioneverytime.Lucki-ly, with the assortment ofclothing today, I can beboth.

When it came to food,Mom was “out there”, aswell. We ate squid when itwas just called squid, notCalamariandweatewhat-ever was in season. Hermeagerbudgetdemandedit. She had the Mediterra-nean diet downpat, and asa mother myself, I appre-ciate more and more allthe wisdom she imparted.

I’ve learned that onecan be a Mom withouteverbearingchildren.Mysister, Judy, is a good ex-ample of this. She hasbeen like a Mom to ournieces and nephews. Soforall theMomsout there,biological or otherwise,the happiest of Mother’sDay to you!

Jack’s chocolatecoveredstrawberries forMom

My grandson, Jack, in-vitedmetoread tohis sec-ond grade class at Guard-ianAngels’ school. “If youlike, bring in a treat”, hismom, Jessie, said. Theonly thing I had on handwas strawberries andchocolate, so Imade choc-

olate dipped strawber-ries. Talk about a hit. Thekids wanted to know howto make them. I told themI’d publish the recipe forthem to make, and here itis. Easy enough for Jackand other little hands tomake for Mom.

1 pound strawberrieswith stems

12 oz. favorite choco-late morsels

Rinse, but do not hullberries. Drain and patcompletely dry. Meltchocolate and removefrom heat while you stillsee some lumps. Stir until

smooth. Holding berriesby stem, dip 3/4 way up.Set on sprayed pan orparchment paper. Put infrig, uncovered, to set.Store, covered, in frig fora day.

Good for you:Make these with dark

chocolate for anti-oxidantqualities. Strawberriesare good bone buildersand good for immune sys-tems, plus they containlots of fiber.

Although they don’tsound very professional,callers from overseas areupsettinga lot of areapeo-ple by claiming they arewith the InternalRevenueService and threateningthemwith jail time for un-paid taxes. The IRS saysthis crime is continuingnationwide even thoughthe tax deadline haspassed.

A woman in Bethelwrote me saying she’sbeen, “Receiving severalphone calls a day fromsomeonewanting tospeakto my husband. The onetimethat Iansweredafor-

eignsoundingmanasked if Iwas Tom.When Isaidnohesaid hehad thewrongnumberand hungup. Since

then I have ignored thecalls and today he leftthree messages on ourvoicemail saying he waswith the IRSand threaten-ing us if we did not re-spond.”

I listened to one ofthose voicemails and thecaller said, “I am inform-ingyouthatwe’restartinga tax fraud case againstyou.” Clearly, it is enoughto scare anyone but thewoman said, “I know I amsmart enough to not getupset or believe this stuffbut I see too many timeson the news senior citi-zens falling for this stuff.”

In leaving the voice-mail message the calleralso left a phone numberto call back. I checkedthat number on the inter-net and found lots of otherpeople have received

these same calls from aman threatening themwith arrest for tax fraud.

I too received one ofthese calls from a foreignsounding man whoclaimedanarrestwarranthad been issued for mywife for unpaid taxes. Isaid, “Fine, I’m turning onmy recorder so I am sureto get everything correct-ly.” He very quickly hungup.

The IRS says its re-ceived reports of thesecallers being particularlyaggressive in the past fewmonths. It says, “Immi-grants are frequently tar-

geted. Potential victimsare threatened with de-portation, arrest, havingtheir utilities shut off, orhaving their driver’s li-censes revoked. Callersare frequently insultingor hostile – apparently toscare their potential vic-tims.”

After threatening vic-tims sometimes the scam-mers hang up and thenhave others call back pre-tending to be from the lo-cal police or Departmentof Motor Vehicles.

They can even spoofthe caller ID on yourphone to make it appearthey’re calling from theIRS, the police or theBMV.

The IRS says if you geta phone call from some-one claiming to be fromthe IRS, andyouknowyoudon’t owe taxes or havenoreason to think you owetaxes, then report the callto the Treasury Inspector

General for Tax Admini-stration at 800-366-4484.

If you know you owetaxes or think you mightowe taxes, call the IRS di-rectly at 800-829-1040.TheIRSemployeesat thatline can help with a pay-ment issue – if there real-ly is such an issue.

Incidentally, the IRSsays it never initiates con-tact with taxpayers byemail to request personalor financial information.It never sends text mes-sages oruses socialmediachannels. Itwill never askfor PINs, passwords orsimilar confidential ac-cess information forcred-it card, bank or other fi-nancial accounts.

The Greenacres Foun-dation is marking 25years of offering freeeducation to childrenwith plans to renovateand expand an old farm-house it owns for envi-ronment classes.

Greenacres wants tobuild a 78-foot by 34-footaddition at the rear of anunoccupied farmhouse at8500 Spooky HollowRoad in Indian Hill toaccommodate up to 120students.

Greenacres alsowants to create a 24-foot-wide driveway and a150-foot by 80-foot grav-el parking lot to serveschool buses and emer-gency vehicles.

Construction couldbegin this summer andbe completed by year’send, said Greenacrespresident Carter Ran-dolph.

“It has been our planfor many years to utilizeall Greenacres propertyfor mission-related activ-ity,” Randolph said.

“This just expandsour ability to follow themission and offer pro-grams to more childrenand schools.”

Randolph said theGreenacres Foundationdoes not yet know howmuch it will cost to reno-vate and expand thefarmhouse.

“We are still research-ing lead paint and asbe-stos issues which couldimpact budget signifi-cantly,” Randolph said.

The Indian Hill Plan-ning Commission green-lighted Greenacres’ pro-posal in March. Approvalwas needed because the

farmhouse as it is and asproposed does not strict-ly meet the village’szoning regulations.

The planning commis-sion found that the farm-house at Greenacres wasbuilt in 1825 and thuspredates current IndianHill zoning rules.

The proposed reno-vation and expansion isconsistent with an ap-proved “special excep-

tion use” that the Gree-nacres Foundation oper-ates under, said IndianHill Councilman AbbotThayer, who serves onthe planning commis-sion.

Thayer said Gree-nacres wants to restorethe original front portionof the farmhouse in aneffort to preserve itshistorical and architec-tural integrity.

The University ofCincinnati Blue Ash Col-lege is announcing a newpolicy that will go intoeffect for freshman stu-dents who enroll for the2014-15 academic year.

It requires that allfreshmen earn at least 24credits before they areallowed to enroll in aclass at the University ofCincinnati’s campuses inClifton or Batavia.

The new policy wascreated to help supportthe success of incomingfreshman. A small butgrowing trend has devel-oped as more studentsare being referred to UCBlue Ash after initiallyseeking admission to theClifton campus, but not

qualifying academically.Some of these studentswere still finding a wayto take some or all oftheir classes in Clifton.Their grades often suf-fered as a result.

“We have a formulathat helps students reallymake the adjustment tocollege-level courses –they benefit from oursmaller class sizes, in-creased opportunities forone-on-one instruction,and free academic sup-port services,” said CadyShort-Thompson, Dean ofUC Blue Ash. “We wantour students to take ourclasses. We see so manystudents who havedoubts about whetherthey can succeed in col-

lege, but then thrive inthis environment and goon to successful academ-ic careers in Clifton.”

Exceptions to thepolicy will be consideredfor special circum-stances, but they will berare and will requireapproval.

Incoming freshman atUC Blue Ash will still beallowed to live in theresidence halls in Clifton.They can also continue totake advantage of thefree shuttles that travelbetween the Blue Ashand Clifton campusesMonday through Friday.

“Our students are UCstudents, that doesn’tchange,” Short-Thomp-son said.
