“The Hamilton County Asso-ciation of Chiefs of Police puttheir heads together and decid-ed we got to work on this andreally become more united inthe fight against the heroinproblems that are going on inSouthwest Ohio,” Madeira Po-lice Chief Frank Maupin said.

He said the department willnot have to commit any moneyor manpower.

“Our involvement is we aregoing to be forwarding the in-formation to the task force,stuff like possession arrests.With that information the taskforce can map out and figure

out where it is the worst and fo-cus on that,” Maupin said.

There were 177 deaths fromheroin in Hamilton County lastyear. Maupin said so far thisyear Madeira has 10 to 15 heroinoverdoses, but no deaths.

“We have to be able to trackdown the source and eliminateit. We are trying every angle wecan come up with,” Maupin said.

The resolution passed with a6-0 vote of council. Council-woman Traci Theis was not atthe meeting.

“Hope it helps out for every-one in the whole region,” MayorMike Steur said.

Indian Hill studentsare showing how algebracan put crayons in thehands of area children.

High school students inthe Math Service Clubworked with Crayons toComputers to help solve asupply and demand di-lemma.

The organization,which is a nonprofit freestore for Greater Cincin-nati area teachers, wastrying to come up with away to insure that theteachers got the suppliesthey needed. In some in-stances supplies may runout because of demand,and Crayons to Comput-ers was looking for a solu-tion to the problem.

The Math Service Clubstepped up to the platewith a solution, one thatinvolved creating an alge-braic equation.

Sophomore SydneyMiles said supplies rang-

ing from crayons and pen-cils to rulers and note-books, had previouslybeen provided to teachersin an “arbitrary” fashion.

“Our goal was to createa limit so that the itemswould be distributedequally (among the teach-ers),” sophomore CalvinO’Brien, who along withMiles is a member of theMath Service Club, said.

The equation the stu-dents in the club devel-oped takes into considera-tion a number of factorsincluding the number ofitems and the number ofteachers who need them.

“They were impressedwith our findings,” saidsophomore Margot Bru-nette, who is also a mem-ber of the club.

In fact, Miles said theorganization told themtheir work was on parwith what a professionalconsultant may have pro-vided.

This isn’t the first timethe Math Service Club has

provided assistance. Lastyear the club worked withthe Madeira and IndianHill Joint Fire District ondeveloping an equation tohelp make their runsmore efficient.

The club meets once aweek when involved witha particular project. Sincethe projects typically areassociated with some typeof community service, thestudents in the club re-ceive credit hours fortheir work.

“A lot of time, math isan abstract concept,”Miles said. “Being able tosee directly the impact ofour work was very spe-cial.”

FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Indian Hill High School sophomores Calvin O'Brien, Sydney Miles and Margot Brunette areinvolved with the school's Math Service Club. The club recently worked on a project to helpCrayons to Computers.

High school students help nonprofit free store with math

our neighboring fire de-partments, and all arecued in to our consoli-dated operations in or-der to minimize impacton response time,” Ash-brock said.

“We are not reducingstaffing for this tempor-ary consolidation.

“When constructionon the Indian Hill Sta-tion begins in latespring or early summer2016, the consolidatedoperations will shift tothe new Madeira stationwith the same effort tomanage impact,” Ash-brock said.

“By late spring 2017,the two new stations willbe fully in operationwith equipment andstaffing appropriately

Deer Park Junior/SeniorHigh School

» Deer Park CommunityCity School District had agroundbreaking ceremony forthe complete renovation andbuildout of the lower level atthe Deer Park Junior/SeniorHigh School that will becomehome to the new Deer Park Ca-reer Academies center and ath-letic facilities.

“This spring, our Deer ParkBoard of Education met withour construction manager, Per-formance Construction, to fi-nalize the maximum guaran-teed price and with our archi-tects, SHP Leading Design, toset the schedule for the updatedfacilities. We’ve set a tighttimeline so we’ll be able tomove into the new facilities thisAugust,” said Jeff Langdon, Su-perintendent at DPCCSD.

Called the “Deer Park Ca-reer Academies,” DPCCSD isquite literally building and add-ing to the electives available toits seven-12 grade students. Notonly will students choose froma new, innovative portfolio ofcareer pathways-aligned elec-tive courses, but they will alsolearn in 21st-century readyclassrooms that will provideteam breakout rooms, mock in-terview spaces, and innovativespaces to provide the studentswith a real world feel of busi-ness practices conveniently intheir own high school. Theseclassrooms will take up half ofthe lower level of the building.

“We will never forget therich traditions in the Deer Park

district, but we are ever mind-ful of the competitive globalworkforce our graduates willenter after graduation,” saidDonna Farrell, Deer ParkBoard of Education president.“This exciting new space willenhance learning experiencesfor our students...and exposethem to many emerging ca-reers. Tonight’s groundbreak-ing is not just about construc-tion, but it is also about offeringgroundbreaking new electivesfor our students.”

Housed next door to the Ca-reer Academies, the Deer ParkJunior/Senior High School stu-dents, athletes, coaches andvisiting teams will enjoy brandnew locker rooms, coaches’ of-fices, a trainer room, and astate-of-the-art weight and car-dio room.

Collaboration for this pro-ject began a year ago with thehelp of community members,coaches, and Deer Park staff.

“These two projects reflectthe commitment Deer ParkSchools has to its community,staff, and students. They asked.We listened. We know our ath-letes, coaches, students, andteachers work hard all year andthat is why we want to see themuse the latest equipment, trainin a modern facility, and learnin a cutting edge space outfit-ted with the newest technologyand modular furnishings,” saidLangdon.

Great OaksStudents in the Great Oaks

Marketing Management & Re-search satellite program at In-

dian Hill High School returnedfrom the DECA InternationalConference in Orlando aftergaining national attention.

With more than 15,000 com-petitors in more than 50 events,the Indian Hill/Great Oaks con-tingent had six finalists, andfive who finished in the top 10nationally.

Top 10 finishers nationwidewere: Sara Al-Zubi and SaraSchwanekamp, internationalbusiness plan; Daniel Harde,principles of business admini-stration; Hannah Kaplan, finan-cial, and Sabrina Bulas, appareland accessories.

In addition, Hyun-Ho Leewas a finalist in restaurantmanagement.

“This has been a record yearfor our program in many cate-gories including State attend-ees and awards as well as at-tendees to the Internationalcompetition,” said instructorPhilip Said, who teaches theprogram with Susan Scho-nauer.

DECA is an internationalstudent organization designedto prepare emerging leadersand entrepreneurs for careersin marketing, finance, hospital-ity and management in highschools and colleges around theglobe.

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» Mount Notre Dame Sci-ence Department Chair andSTEM coordinator MichelleShafer of Kenwood has been se-lected to present at the Univer-

sity of Cincinnati’s 2015 STEMConference.

The conference seeks to ex-pand STEM (science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathe-matics) resources by connect-ing the classroom to communi-ties and careers. STEMteachers (K-12) and administra-tors from both private and pub-lic schools are invited to attend.

Shafer will be presenting “Ein STEM: Virtual Modeling”where she will discuss how toadd engineering into STEM.The engineering process can bedefined as an iterative process.

Virtual modeling allows stu-dents to experience the itera-

tive process without sacrific-ing large amounts of time. AtMND, students use virtualmodeling software to design,analyze, predict outcomes andprint templates to constructphysical models.

“Using virtual modeling al-lows students to experience theprocess that professional engi-neers use in their careers,” not-ed Shafer. “Students can simu-late how their design will do inthe physical world before theybuild. This allows them to makechanges and build their best de-sign. I hope having more confi-dence allows more students tochoose the STEM fields.”

The picnic sea-son doesn’tstart for meuntil MemorialDay.

We have a tradition inour family of attendingoutdoor Mass, weather

permitting,at St. Philo-mena inClermontCounty.Afterward,there’s agun saluteto the fall-en veter-ans. Wevisit myparents’

graves and the grandkidshelp me plant sprigs ofMom’s heirloom mintaround them. I knowmany of you celebrateMemorial Day this way,whether remembering afallen veteran, family orfriends. So here are somenice side dishes to goalong with the celebra-tion of burgers and hotdogs that are part of thisspecial day.

Roxanne’sstrawberry spinach salad

I had a presentation on“Eating from the Gardenof Eden” at Faith Luther-an Church. RoxanneJohnson prepared dinnerfor the participants andher spinach salad wasoutstanding. I have justenough spinach comingup in my garden to makeRoxanne’s version of thisclassic. Roxanne is aself-taught cook andcaterer, picking up muchof what she learned fromher Italian mom and

grandmom.“Feeding people is my

way of expressing love.It is how I can showGod's care and compas-sion to others”, Roxannesaid.

Dressing:2 lemons zested (1

teaspoon) and juiced (1/4cup lemon juice)

1/4 cup white winevinegar

2/3 cup sugar2 tablespoons vegeta-

ble oil2 teaspoon poppy

seedsSalad: mix together:1/2 pound strawberries

hulled & quartered1/2 medium cucumber,

scored, cored, thinlysliced and cut in half

1/4 red onion slicedinto thin slices and cut inhalf

8 ounces or more babyspinach

Garnish: 1/3 cup slicedalmonds toasted

Adjust berries, cu-cumber, almonds & onionto your taste. For dress-ing combine zest, juice,vinegar, sugar, oil & pop-py seeds. Whisk untilwell blended. Roxanneuses a stick blender. Pourdressing on salad, toss.Sprinkle almonds on.Serve immediately.Serves 8 to 10.

Roxanne said the sal-ad goes limp prettyquickly so try to makejust as much as you canuse in 1 sitting.

Morton’sSteakhouse garlicbutter clone

For Jon, a “devotedreader”, who wants toput a dollop of garlic

butter like Morton’s ontop of his grilled stripsteaks. The secret ingre-dients? What do youthink about anchovypaste and Pernod li-queur?

Blend:3 sticks unsalted but-

ter, softenedGood handful parsley,

leaves only, minced fine2 tablespoons minced

fresh garlicAbout 2 tablespoons

minced shallotSqueeze of anchovy

paste to taste - start witha teaspoon and go fromthere

Pernod liqueur - startwith a generous table-

spoon and go from thereSalt (a little bit, the

anchovy is salty) andwhite pepper to taste

To freeze: roll into alog, wrap well and freezeseveral months.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

If you don’t have Per-nod, a licorice tastingliqueur, try substitutingfennel leaves or tarra-gon, both anise flavoredherbs.

Readers wantto know

How can I keep Cilan-tro growing all summer?

Well, you can’t. Cilan-

tro, an annual herb, lovessun but hates heat. Youcan prune it back a bitbut it’s not going to staybushy like the heartierherbs such as basil, rose-mary, etc. If it does go toseed, let the seeds, calledcoriander, drop to theground, cover with 1/4”soil and soon you’ll seenew cilantro shoots pop-ping up. Or just plantcoriander seeds (evenfrom the pantry) and gofrom there. You can plantthem all summer andeven into late fall, wherethey nestle in the soiloverwinter, ready togrow when the weathergets warm.

Health benefits:Cilantro helps remove

heavy metals from thebody. Check out my siteAbouteating.com formore tips on cilantro andsubstitutes for it.

A publication of

Why is this anissue? The taxwas improperlycollected. Sowhat? Why are

wealthy people discussingthis?

Isn’t the real question,“Does Indian Hill really needa school system?” How manyschool-age children does Indi-an Hill actually have? Is itabout 400? Is this about 20percent of those who actuallyattend IH schools?

If we are all going to getour undies in a twist over busi-ng, computers for each stu-dent, boiler replacements orartificial turf for the footballfield, perhaps we should all sitdown and have this more in-teresting discussion.

We live in Ohio District 1, a

district sogerryman-dered that itlooks like abutterfly. It isobvious thatall of us areRepublican, sothis conversa-tion should notbe too diffi-cult. Whatwould be the

Republican (a.k.a. tea party)view for handling such a prob-lem? What would Ron Paul do?

Somewhere I read thatRepublicans wish to privatizeSocial Security. They wish itmanaged by unregulated Re-publican bankers under man-agement agreements that donot require either regulationor supervision. Didn’t we also

recently read that Repub-licans wish to cut spending bycutting Medicare and all othersocial programs? Isn’t theRepublican view, “Read MyLips, No New Taxes?” Further,didn’t we hear that Repub-licans are against paying forinfrastructure repairs or re-placement?

OK! This is getting easier.We have a very wise conserva-tive philosophy to guide us toan equitable solution.

We must abolish the IndianHill school system.

What would replace it?Republicans want Medicare torevert to a “voucher system.”This should be easy. Give eachfamily, with school age chil-dren, vouchers for their edu-cation. If we think thisthrough, it is possible for them

to obtain their entire highschool education online. Howcheap is that? Now…that isconservative! Ron Paul wouldscoff, “You are all so wealthy,why don’t you educate yourown children?”

This approach wouldsquare with another Repub-lican principle of “tax cuts.”This would be a gigantic taxcut, as it now costs about thesame to educate each child, asit would if they attended Coun-try Day School.

Wouldn’t it be much lessexpensive to pay to send 400Indian Hill children to Coun-try Day? Just give each child avoucher for free tuition toCountry Day, and scrap theexisting school system.

We could lease the presentIndian Hill campus to a pri-

vate corporation that wouldoperate it as a specialtyschool, to teach the design anddevelopment of drones anddrone maintenance, the designand development of self-driv-ing autos and their program-ming, and the design and de-velopment of robots, usingartificial intelligence; perhapseven a virtual reality degree.

Perhaps this campus couldbe put to use developing fu-sion nuclear power for theclean generation of electricity,and the integration of Teslabattery packs to relieve thefrequent power outages we allexperience during electricalstorms. This is real cuttingedge stuff!

James Baker is a 38-year resident ofIndian Hill.

Indian Hill School tax refund?

May 13 questionHow do you plan to observe

Memorial Day? What is your fa-vorite local or national veteransmemorial site? What do you likeabout it?

“I like the laying of thewreath at the Tomb of the Un-known Soldier and those whowalk by the Vietnam Wallwith the names of fallen vet-erans. Grilling out seems ap-propriate on that day remem-bering those who served sowe can be free. Go Figure!”

May 6 questionHow do you think the Su-

preme Court will rule on the is-sue of same-sex marriage? Howshould they rule?

“The current issue of mar-riage that the Supreme Courtwill issue a ruling about isfundamentally not aboutrights, love, equality or pro-gress. It is about what mar-riage is and why. Invalid anal-ogies, fallacious argumentsand divisive language arecommon in our conversationsabout it. The Court shouldrule in accordance with thearguments discussed in twoparticular resources. RyanAnderson presents an elo-quent, detailed, and respect-ful analysis in a YouTube

video, “Ryan T. Anderson -What is Marriage?” by Stan-fordAnscombeSociety SAS.He and two other scholarsalso had a similarly well-pre-sented article, titled “What IsMarriage?” published in theHarvard Journal of Law &Public Policy, that can be ac-cessed online.”

Ted Corgan

“Marriage is between one(natural) man and one (natu-ral) woman; end of story. Ifyou want to please the gayscall it civil union give the taxbenefits that are so crucial totheir argument and insurancebenefits as well. Leave themarriage word alone; ahthat's where it all falls apartthey want the marriage wordto prove that one percent isstronger than 99 percent.This is a freak show and noth-ing else. Pretty sad.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is the best senior classprank you can remember?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

When President Obamadeclared to the nation that hehad a “phone and a pen,” themessage was clear: if Congressdidn’t act as he wanted, hewould act unilaterally.

This built on his choicephrase from 2011 of “We Can’tWait,” seeking to bypass Con-gress with a litany of executiveorders, recess appointmentsand bureaucratic rule-making.

When he said he would actwithout Congress during lastyear’s State of the Union, mycolleagues across the aisledidn’t speak up for the legisla-tive branch’s role.

Rather, most Democratsstood up and applauded theexecutive branch taking overtheir role.

These elected members ofCongress were signaling totheir constituents that they arefine with being irrelevant.

Irrelevantrepresentationis what hap-pens whenmembers ofAmerica’smost repre-sentativebranch con-cede theirelected role asthe legislatorsin our govern-ment.

The will of “We the People”is diluted by every act to cir-cumvent Congress: executiveactions, regulatory decreesand discretionary enforce-ment.

From rewriting immigra-tions laws to explicitly elbow-ing out the Senate from re-viewing a possible Iran treaty,this administration has stakedout a governing course con-

trary to the Constitution.Even on supposedly in-

dependent commissions, theObama agenda is being fol-lowed lock-step in his marcharound Congress. Last month,the Federal CommunicationsCommission passed a 317-pagesecret report to regulate theInternet after President Oba-ma indicated his support. Thiswill have legal effect without avote in Congress!

When the public does noticein due time, these legal re-writes are sometimes re-versed. The Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco and Firearms’ attemptto ban certain bullets is a re-cent example. The agencyattempted to ban certain bul-lets by simply omitting partic-ular language in a draft regula-tory framework. The publicnoticed, and the ATF backedoff.

As elected officials, we takean oath to uphold the laws ofthe land. If a law is flawed ordisliked, we have a process tochange it legally. Until it ischanged by the legislativebranch and signed by thepresident, it is the law, and it isto be upheld.

Our time-tested Constitu-tional framework to separatepowers, with strong checksand balances, is in jeopardy.

When our nation was found-ed, the Executive Branch hadonly three departments; State,War and Treasury. Today, it’sup to 15, not to mention variousother agencies, administra-tions and commissions.

These executive bureau-cracies have authorities tocreate regulations and penal-ties that were never voted onby the citizens or their electedrepresentatives.

One strong check Congresscan impose to rebalance exec-utive power is the REINS Act,short for Regulations from theExecutive in Need of Scrutiny.

The REINS Act would re-quire a congressional vote onany new federal regulationthat has an estimated negativeeconomic impact more than$100 million

This bill is an opportunityfor Congress to recoup some ofits legislative authority thathas drifted away.

May our generation leave arestored legacy on the commit-ment to our founding principle:government doesn’t grantpower to the people, “We thePeople” must consent to begoverned.

Closing closet almost acrime

My thanks to the ladies at theMadeira Woman’s Club for theiryears of dedication and donat-ing scholarships and assistingother organizations/people inneed.

However, if the police ask forpublic help with crime in Ma-

deira they should look to CityCouncil for raising the Woman’sClub rent forcing the tenant out.Let’s call it what it is: eviction.

I don’t think the market ratejustifies the loss of ClothesCloset. I don’t think any valuewas placed on the club’s yearsof service to the community. Ihope the new tenant is requiredto pay the quoted rate the Wom-

an’s Club was evicted for withno special deals from City Coun-cil.

I know I won’t contribute tothe gross sales of any tenantthat takes over the Woman’sClub. That, too, would be acrime.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Do you know where yourtap water comes from? Do youknow how it’s treated? Do youknow how safe it is to drink?

Take a moment to get toknow... your H2O.

Greater Cincinnati WaterWorks published its annualWater Quality Report, whichprovides its 1.1 million custom-ers in Ohio and Northern Ken-tucky with information abouttheir tap water, including com-pliance with U.S. EPA and OhioEPA drinking water standardsand drinking water quality.

The report shows that tapwater from GCWW compliedwith or went beyond compli-ance with all federal and statehealth standards in 2014, as itdoes every year.

The report also detailswhere the tap water comesfrom, how the water is treated,and how it is protected from

spills.GCWW

draws its wa-ter from theOhio River andthe Great Mi-ami BuriedValley Aquifer.

Water fromthe Ohio Riveris treated atthe RichardMiller Treat-

ment Plant on the east side ofCincinnati and supplies about88 percent of GCWW custom-ers. The Bolton TreatmentPlant in Fairfield drawsgroundwater from 13 wells inthe Great Miami aquifer andsupplies about 12 percent ofGCWW customers.

GCWW treats about 122million gallons of water a dayon average and conducts about600 tests daily throughout the

water treatment and distribu-tion process.

GCWW uses the most ad-vanced water treatment tech-nologies in the world including:

» sand and gravel filtration(Miller and Bolton plants);

» granular activated carbon(GAC) adsorption (MillerPlant);

» ultraviolet (UV) disinfect-ion (Miller Plant).

GCWW is the largest waterutility in North America to useUV disinfection following sandand gravel filtration and GACadsorption.

READING — The battle to rep-resent the South/Central regionin the Division I girls lacrossetournament features some fa-miliar programs. Defendingchampion Sycamore is natural-ly in the mix along with theirGreater Miami Conference ri-vals, Mason.

Not surprisingly, Mount No-tre Dame is there as the Cou-gars earned a showdown withSycamore in the quarterfinalsMay 18 by defeating Lebanonand Pickerington North in thefirst two rounds.

Coach Russell Mackey’s Cou-gars are approaching 60 wins in

the last four seasons. His initialteam was 6-9-2 in 2011 and sincethe Cougars have averaged 14-15 victories per season.

“We went over on that side ofthe bracket,” Mackey said. “Weplayed them pretty tough earlyin the year (11-9 loss on April23). We’ve improved andthey’ve improve a lot as well.They have some really fastplayers and they’re such a dis-ciplined team. We could havegone into another bracket, butyou’ve got to get by Sycamoresometime.”

As in previous years, MNDtook on allcomers with No. 2Sycamore and a win over No. 8Olentangy 13-12 in overtime onApril 18. An early loss came to

No. 4 Worthington KilbourneMarch 27, 18-14. The Cougarshad just come off a 12-10 over-time win over Ursuline to startthe season but hadn’t become tomesh as a team.

“We broke out to a 6-1 lead,”Mackey said. “How we lost it,I’ll never know.”

The Cougars did beat Masonthis spring, 11-8, April 30. Onlyfour of their opponents did nothave winning records.

Among MND’s reliable con-tributors are a trio of girls whohave played at the middle andattack positions. Junior KelseyBeitman and seniors Sam De-Vore and Moriah Flynn are of-

“She came in maybein the fourth or fifthgame of her freshmanyear,” Mackey said.“One of our girls on thenational team now, BizGoslee, found her on acut and I was like,‘There’s no turningback; she’s varsity!’”

This year’s squad fea-tures 11 seniors, with atleast five who moved tovarsity their sophomoreseasons.

“It’s probably twiceas many (seniors) as I’veever had,” Mackey said.

“It’s a challenge. Wewant to win, but at thesame time I need the ju-niors and sophomoresready. You need a suc-cession plan. We’ve had24 girls on the roster.That makes it challeng-ing.”

Some of the girls willgo from not seeing toomuch action to potential-ly starting next season.As for the 11 seniors, thefinality of prep sports isapproaching. Many willbe college students inless than a year lookingfor non-athletic avenuesto succeed.

“They do recognizethis is it,” Mackey said.“This is the end. Even ingirls sports with moreopportunities than thereever was, they’re stillsomewhat limited.”

Coalfeet will run atthe University of Roch-ester. He has spent mostof the spring battlingNick Cedillo of Madeira,who has run a little over asecond faster in the 400meters. Both have alsodabbled in the 800 andwill make a postseasondecision soon.

Sophomore MattWeisfelder also runs the800 for Indian Hill andhas reduced his timedown to 2:11, just fourseconds away fromCoalfleet’s.

“The boys are young,but there are up and com-ing talents,” Savage said.“(Sophomore) Ben War-stler ran a 10:30 3,200 andI have a freshman (JoeMurdock) and sopho-more (Patrick Giroux) at4:52 in the 1,600.”

Joining the fray in thedistance department isjunior Trent Geyer whohas gone under 11:00 inthe 3,200.

“They’ll all be back inthe fall for cross coun-try,” Savage said. “I’m

super excited about that.Everybody’s back butWells (Coalfleet), plus wehave some new talentcoming in from the mid-dle school.”

In the field events, ju-nior throwers AnthonyJohnson and Chris Aus-tin have shined. Johnsonis third in the league inshot put, with Austin sev-enth. In the discus, Aus-tin is third and Johnson13th. Schwab leads theefforts in the high jump.

At the CHL meet May15, Coalfleet was secondto Cedillo from Madeirain the 400 at 50.99. The4x400 relay was also avery close second to theMustangs at 3:30.37.Johnson was third in theshot put at 42’.

Senior veterans Sa-brina Bulas and Macken-zie Owen lead the IndianHill girls. Bulas just ran apersonal best in the 1,600and was fourth in theleague at the end of theseason. The best relaysfor the Lady Braves arethe 4x100 and 4x800where they were thirdcoming into the CHLmeet.

Top performances atthe league meet May 15were a second in the4x800 relay and Bulastook fourth in the 1,600 at5:42.88 and fourth in the800 at 2:32.21.

DEER PARK — The DeerPark High School girlssoftball team scored an-other win this season. Itwasn’t on the field, butrather around it.

Deer Park High Schoolalumnus Bobby Castruc-ciof the Castrucci Auto-motive family donated thefunds needed to build abrand new softball fence.

“Assistant (Deer Park)softball coach Tim Shep-herd is a good customer tothe dealership and was inhere purchasing a vehicleand we started talkingabout back-to-backleague championships,”Castrucci said. “He men-tioned wishing they had ahome run fence. On behalfof Mike Castrucci Ford,myself and the girls soft-ball program, we got to-gether to provide themwith the fence they need-ed.”

A Deer Park graduateof 2002, when Castrucciwas not working at the

family business, heplayed baseball and golffor the Wildcats. Aftergraduation, Castruccispent two years learningthe family business be-fore enrolling at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati tostudy accounting and fi-nance. His hard work paidoff and he credits hisyears spent in Deer Park,which is why the Castruc-ci family gives back to thecommunity and schools.

“In addition to this do-

nation, we (CastrucciFord) have also providedconvertibles to manyhomecoming parades aswell as convertibles forthe teacher’s retirementparty,” said Castrucci. “Ido plan to stay involvedwith the school and com-munity, whether it will besoftball or some other as-pect.”

The new home runfence is certainly beingused this year. CearaTrusty now has 156 career

hits, which is the most ca-reer hits in Deer Parksoftball’s history. SamWood has a 111career runsbatted in, which is themost career RBI and sheis also the career doublesleader with 38. LaceyChadwell has 19 careerhome runs, the top careernumber, before the sea-son is over, she will prob-ably move into secondplace in career RBI.

“Having supportivealumni is important to anathletic department,”Deer Park Athletic Direc-tor Rob Hamann said. “Wecould not be more pleasedand appreciative of Bob-by Castrucci’s donation.Senior first baseman Lac-ey Chadwell truly enjoyshitting home runs over it.Every time Lacey hits ahome run over the Cas-trucci home run fence,she breaks her own schoolrecord.”

The Deer Park HighSchool softball team willenjoy hitting home runsover their new fence foryears to come.

Hamilton County Re-corder Wayne Coates andCounty Auditor DustyRhodes say that informa-tion being offered for ahigh price in mailings toresidents is availablefree of charge and/or at avery nominal cost fromtheir individual offices.

“This out of town so-licitation for a currentgrant deed and propertyassessment profile for$83 is an unnecessaryexpense to homeowners,”

Coates said.He said copies of

deeds are available at $2per page from his officeand Rhodes said propertyassessment informationis available on his web-site at no charge.

“There is no need forHamilton County proper-ty owners to pay someout-of-town company somuch for this informa-tion,” Rhodes said.

The Recorder’s web-site is http://recordersof-

fice.hamilton-co.org/hcro-pdi/

The Auditor’s websiteis http://hamiltoncountyauditor.org

The officials urgedresidents to contact theiroffices to check on theavailability and theiraccess to records beforepaying for information.

Auditor, recorder: Look out for mailings

It sounds great – youcan save money on yourutility bill by signing up

with one ofmany al-ternativeenergyprovidersnow serv-ing Ohio.If youaren’tcareful, itcould endup costingyou more

money.It all started with the

deregulation of electric-ity and natural gas in2001 and, as more andmore suppliers came tothe state, the competi-tion brought downprices.

Some alternativeenergy providers callyou on the phone, otherssend you sales pitchesby mail and yet otherscome knocking on yourdoor. But, no matterwhich approach they useyou have to know howyour bill is calculatedbefore you agree toswitch.

Ben Frisby of Leba-non says a salespersoncame knocking at his

door around 7 o’clockone night.

“First thing she saidwas, ‘The average costof electricity in this areais 8 cents per kilowatthour.’ I said, ‘That’s thecost?’ She said, ‘Yeah,we’re offering 7.69rate.’”

Frisby says she toldhim that rate was fixedfor two years so, hesays, he thought he mayget some savings.

“That might be a gooddeal over the next twoyears if that 8 centshappens to go up,” hesaid.

Frisby checked withhis wife then agreed toswitch.

“I signed off on it andsigned up for it.” Hesays he thought he wasgoing to save money andnever would haveagreed if he had beentold it was going to costhim money. That’s whyhe says he was shockedwhen he got his nextutility bill.

“It was like $150 high-er for the same kilowattusage as the previousmonth,” Frisby says.That’s because that 8cent price he was quoted

was for both Duke’sgeneration cost of 6.04cents and its distribu-tion charge of about 1.96cents per kilowatt hour.

You need to know youwill still have to payDuke’s distributioncharge no matter whichenergy provider youchoose. So you need tocompare the energyprovider’s price withDuke’s Price To Com-pare found on all utilitybills. Remember thatprice for Duke Energywas 6.04 cents per kilo-watt hour.

Frisby says he feltmisled by the salesper-son and protested to thealternative energy com-pany officials. As a re-sult, he says they agreedto drop a $95 early can-cellation fee that he wascharged for switchingback to Duke Energy.

To make sure youfully understand anyoffer you receive, toswitch either electric ornatural gas providers,it’s best to check thePublic Utility Commis-sion of Ohio’s Apples ToApples website. Thereyou can get an accurateunderstanding of exact-

ly what you would getand how much, if any-thing, you would save.

You have to be awaresome companies willoffer a very low rate butit’s only good for amonth or two and then it

becomes a variable ratethat could be much high-er than the rate chargedby Duke Energy. If thathappens you will want tocancel so be sure to seeif the company has anearly cancellation fee-

—many of them do havesuch fees.

death of an unarmedblack man shot whilerunning from Cincinnatipolice who maintainedthey thought he wasreaching for a gun afterbeing ordered to halt andshow his hands.

That incident sparkeddemonstrations thatturned violent, forcingthe imposition of a city-wide curfew. It also led tothe creation of a team ofcitizens, including Sun-derland, who worked forreconciliation and a peaceagreement between po-lice and the community.

The presenters willalso examine changes inrace relations and rela-tions between police andminorities resulting fromthe efforts of that teamand initiatives by Cincin-nati religious leaders andmany civic organizationsthroughout the ensuing 14years.
