AndersonTownship isspend-ing more than expected on theWolfangel Road sidewalk.
Trustees recently authorizedspending $27,303 of taxpayers’money for additional surveyingand related assessments for thedesign.
The sidewalk will be on theeast side of Wolfangel Road,from Bowen Avenue to StateRoad, and connect about 500homes in that area.
Last year, trustees approvedspending$80,572 fordesignandengineering.
“We have gone through theengineering process, and we’re
finalizing plans for the side-walk,” said Paul Drury, thetownship’s planning and zoningdirector.
Changes include a supple-mental survey and right of wayfor needed permanent ease-ments; inspecting the culvertsto assess infrastructure; andanalysis of retaining wallsalong the sidewalk path.
“Obviously these are thingsthat have to be done, but wecouldn’t have anticipated theseearlier or done the review earli-er?” Trustee Russ Jacksonasked.
While some of the changesmight have been anticipatedearlier, Drury said most of theadditional work came after the
second stage of engineering.Also, having the sidewalk on
the east side of Wolfangel Roadmeans additional easementsfrom more properties, he said,but it “will be a better design.”
Anderson Township re-ceiveda$416,000grantfromtheOhio-Kentucky-Indiana Re-gional Council of Governmentsto build the sidewalk.
Thegrantwill cover about 80percent of the estimated$500,000 construction cost.Township taxpayers are re-sponsible for the remainingfunding for construction, de-sign and engineering.

MT. WASHINGTON — Beech-montAvenue improvements inMt.Washington have been pro-posed for 2014-2015.
During its Julymeeting, theMt. Washington CommunityCouncil submitted ideas forcity funding.
Each year, the city reviewsproject recommendations pro-vided by local communities forCommunity Priority Requestfunding. These projects aretypically geared toward im-proving a community.
Mt.Washington CommunityCouncil board member RobHayes said funding could beused to make Beechmont Ave-nue more pedestrian friendly.
A resident also recommend-ed implementing “street calm-ing measures” along Beech-mont Avenue to help reducespeeds.
Otherprojectswhichwill besubmitted for city considera-tion are rehabilitation ofstreets in the community thatare inbad shape.Thiswould in-volve repaving and curb re-pair.
Most streets go 30 yearswithout rehab, board member
Sue Doucleff said. “We alwaysneed to keep street rehab onthe list to let the city know howimportant it is,” she said.
The specific streets were tobe determined.
A final recommendationwas improving the sidewalksinvarious locations throughoutMt. Washington.
Another idea which wassuggested but ultimately re-jectedwas security cameras atthe recreation center whichwould provide indoor and out-door monitoring.
Some of the concerns withthe security cameras were thecosts involved and the avail-ability of people to monitorthem.

It’s been available formonths, and participation in An-derson Township’s electricityaggregation program continuesto grow.
About 1,200 residents havesigned up through the town-ship’s programwith Duke Ener-gy Retail, but enrollment pacehas slowed, Assistant TownshipAdministrator Suzanne Parkersaid.
Resident Martha Viehmannsigned up earlier this year andsaid so far she hasn’t seen a bigdifference in her electric bills.
“Saving money is great, butmy biggest motivation was thechance to tell Duke Energy I’dreally like tohaveaccess topow-er generated by alternativemethods, not a coal-fired plant,”she said.
Viehmannsaidherelectricityrates have been all over theplace for the past couple yearsand she paid more when sheusedmore.
Resident Leslie Harshfieldalso signed up for the aggrega-tion program this spring, hopingto save somemoney on electric-ity bills. She tracks electricityuse and expenses and said thereis a difference since they en-rolled.
“Our usage is equal, if not alittle greater, and we have defi-nitely saved (money),” Harsh-field said.
Anderson’s aggregation pro-gram, unlike other communitiessuchas thecityofCincinnatiand
Deer Park, is an “opt-in” pro-gram. That means residents orbusinessesarenotautomaticallyenrolledandcanchoosewhetherornot to join theprogram,whichoffers fixed electricity rates fora certain period of time.
“Electricity prices are pre-dicted to go up … then plateau,”Parker said.
Parker said many residentscould be in other energy con-tracts and that’s why enroll-ments have been slowing.
“As people’s contracts with asupplier expire,wecould expectan uptick here or there,” shesaid. “So much of it is market-driven, and it changes everycouple of days.”

It’s a tight schedule,but the Anderson Town-shipParkDistrict expectsto have one of its parkinglots ready for the slew offall sports.
The parking lot atClearCreekPark, on stateRoute 32 between theBeechmont Levee and thevillage of Newtown, willget about100 extra spacesto help with the oftencrowded parking condi-tions during sports sea-sons.
It will be built frompermeable pavers – simi-lar towhat’s installednearthe all-weather fields atRiverside Park on RoundBottomRoad – to holdwa-ter and release it insteadof creating more run-offfrom storm water.
“Both sides are dug out… and by the end of Julyor early August, thingsshould be back to wherethey were,” Park DistrictExecutive Director KenKushner said.
“We’re pushing it forthe fall, when programsstart. It will add more
parking, but it’s not goingto solve the issue of one-way in or one-way out ofthe parking lot.”
After the parking lot isfinished,workwill shift tothe eastern end of thepark tobuild sixnewpick-leball courts near thedriving range.
Kushner said they’reworking with Duke Ener-gy on the plans to makesure the new courts, simi-lar to tennis courts butsmaller, do not interferewith the overhead powerlines.
The power lines arearound 100 feet aboveground, but can sag up to25 feet depending on tem-perature.
“There will probablybe a tweaking of how (thepickleball courts) orient
in that location,” he said.“Overall, it’s looking real-ly positive.”
Pickleball is a sportthat combines tennis, bad-minton and Ping-Pong,and it has been growing inpopularity around thecountry.
Anderson Townshiphas had a dedicated groupof players for severalyears, and the AndersonPickleball Club held itsfirst tournament lastsum-mer,whichwasaresound-ing success.
The Anderson Town-ship Park District re-ceived two state grants tohelp pay for these pro-jects: $172,000 from theOhio Environmental Pro-tection Agency for the es-timated $286,000 parkinglot project and $66,816
from the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Re-sources for the pickleballcourts.
The Park District willprovide the land, laborand construction equip-ment as a match for thepickleball grant. Ander-
son’s Pickleball Club alsoraised almost $4,000 tohelp pay for the courts.

The Summit Country DaySchool raised $4,637 during theschool year for the Karen Wel-lington Foundation for LIVINGwith Breast Cancer.
TheSummit’s chapterofKeyClub International, sponsoredby Madeira’s Kiwanis Club,raised the more than $4,000through various service eventsand fundraisers throughout theschool year, such as pennywarsin the fall, selling candygramsnearHalloween, a giving tree atChristmas and selling flowersfor prom.
Each year, club membersvote on which charity they willraise funds for throughout theyear based onwhat the studentsare interested in and findmean-ingful. Upper School Englishteacher and Key Club modera-tor Phyllis Lipovsky said theprojects that the club organizesare chosen based on the lessonsstudents will learn from them.
“We wanted the students tothink about all the thingsthey’ve been able to celebratethroughout their lives, and howfortunate theyare tohave that,”Lipovsky said. “We hoped itwould motivate students to do-nate to our cause out of thegoodness of donating.”
The club’s final project en-couraged Summit students todonate a quarter for each birth-day they have celebrated forthe Karen Wellington Founda-tion, because of its focus on cel-ebrating life for women livingwith breast cancer.
The Karen Wellington Foun-dation honors the memory of aformer Summit parent who,having been diagnosed with
breast cancer at age 30, livedthe last days of her life to thefullest. The foundation honorswomen who are living withbreast cancerand their familiesby sending them on vacations,spa days or special lunches andnights out – so they have enjoy-able activities inbetweencalen-dardates filledwithdoctor’s ap-pointments, chemo treatmentsand surgeries.
This year, the foundationfunded a vacation for SummitMiddle School teacher PennyHerr, who has been battlingbreast cancer during the pastyear. She and her husbandplanned a trip to the beach thissummer with the gift. SummitUpper School teacher CathyFlesch was given a vacation toHawaii last year by the founda-tion.
Key Club is an internationalstudent-led organization whosemission and core values closelymirror those of The Summit.The club providesmembers op-portunities to provide service,build character and developleadership. The clubvalues car-ing and inclusiveness.
Lipovsky said that asidefrom the club’s internationalvalues, her students are em-powered by the difference theyare able tomake because of lev-el of responsibility they are af-forded.
“It’s all about getting the stu-dents invested in the charitiesthey choose to aid. They planandstaff theevents.Theycountthe money. They brainstormideas. I think they really feelthey have a part of the schoolthat is their own.”
Summit's Key Club raised more than $4,000 for the Karen WellingtonFoundation, which celebrates the lives of women living with breastcancer.

Anderson High Schoolphysics teacher Jeff Rodri-guez is increasingly indemandby high schools looking to in-troduce students to serious,high-level research opportuni-ties in the area of cosmic rays.
Rodriguez is what’s knownas an eFellow with QuarkNET.As such he conducts work-shops and advises other phys-ics high school teachers onhow to use cosmic ray detec-tors in theclassroom.Thispastwinter, Rodriguez traveled toMexico City to share hisknowledge with a group ofhigh school teachers.
“I ended up doing the work-shop in80percentSpanish,”hesaid. “There were technicalterms Ihadn’t usedbefore so itmade it a real challenge. Es-sentially I showedthe teachershow to use a cosmic ray detec-tor in a high school classroomand how to analyze data setsfrom the Compact Muon Sole-noid experiment at the LargeHadron Collider in Europethroughactivities just likepar-ticle physicists working on theexperiment.”
With the use of the detector,thestudents inMexicowill joinother students worldwide, in-cluding those at Anderson andTurpin, in measuring muonsthat have formed in the upperatmosphere due to the interac-tion of cosmic rays from thesun and the universe with thenitrogen and oxygen mole-cules.
Rodriguez further explainsthat the muons are basicallyheavy electrons. One of thegreat mysteries is the purposeofmuons in our universe.Whydo they exist? What is theirpurpose? You can make a hy-drogen atom with a muon in-stead of an electron.
In earlyMarch the third an-nual International MuonWeekwas held by the Quarknet e-Lab Fellows. During this weekstudents around the globe, in-cludinggroups fromAndersonand Turpin, used their cosmicray detectors to collect data.
Through a tool developedby Rodriquez, the results of
the data collection can beshared and viewed by all par-ticipating schools: rodshome.com/CosmicMap/CosmicMap.html
The work being conductedby high school students andtheir teachers with the use ofthe cosmic ray detectors issimilar to themethods used bylarge experiments at Fermilabin Chicago and the LHC inEurope. These experimentsmust also account for the cos-mic rays when they are creat-ing and detecting bits of mat-ter particles created in similarconditions as the big bang.
Rodriguez is always on thewatch for opportunities to in-troduce students to the manymysteries of life, matter andthe space around them.For ex-ample, three summers agoMr.Rodriguez successfully au-thored a grant that enabled agroup of students to studyHubble Space Telescope im-ages to observe and calculatethe luminosity and themass ofdistant galaxies as they inves-tigated the lensing effect pre-dicted by Albert Einstein. Forthe past seven years, he hashelped a group of four areahigh school students secure apaid internship with the Uni-versity of Cincinnati Physics
Department that involved ana-lyzing data recorded by highenergy physics experimentssuch as the LHCb experimentat CERN (European Organiza-tion for Nuclear Research).LHCb is a specialized experi-ment looking for the missingantimatter in the universe.
For this summer,Rodriguezand a group of students arecompeting for the chance totravel to Geneva to run an ex-periment using the protonbeam at the LHC in Europe.
“I try to find ways of bring-ing the forefront of physics re-search to the classroom,” Rod-riguez said. “There are somany technological applica-tions that havebeendevelopedby these ‘modern physics’ ex-periments – fast computers,programming, storage de-vices, lasers, semiconductors,material science and even theInternet.
“I hope the students get anappreciation of their sur-roundings, all the opportuni-ties for advancement, careerpossibilities, andhowmuchwestill need to know. Also, by im-proving scientific literacy stu-dents become more knowl-edgeable regarding the impor-tance of funding and support-ing basic research.”

40 BOOKS DEVOURED
Third-graders in the Ayer Elementary School classroom of Staci Lewis conquered the 40-book readingchallenge. Lewis set the bar high with her expectation that each student read the equivalent of 40books (chapter books counted for more than one book). All of her students met or exceeded thischallenge. Ten students even beat Lewis in the challenge by reading more than the 57 books that sheread this year. As a reward for their hard work, Lewis made special T-shirts for each student in herclassroom and they had a celebration that included a pizza party. THANKS TO SHEILA VILVENS

On Monday, Anderson HighSchool varsity baseball headcoach Chris Newton heard ath-letic director Pam Scott re-signed after nine years on the
job. By Friday -the first officialday of practiceand tryouts forfall sports - he satin her formerchair.
“I can’t tellyou how honoredandproud I am tolead theAHSath-
letic program,” Newton said.“I’ve been able to make contri-butions to our football programas an assistant coach and obvi-ously to our baseball programas a head coach, but now I get tomake a contribution to everyprogram. That’s exciting forme.”
“I believe this AD positioncan let me really highlight ourkids and our coaches in thiscommunity. I’m hoping thatsome ofmy energy,my enthusi-asm, my positivity rubs off onthe community, not just theschool.”
Anderson principal MikeBroadwater said superinten-dent Dr. Dallas Jackson signedoff on the hire July 31 and will
recommend Newton for ap-proval by the Forest Hills LocalSchool District board of educa-tion at its regular meeting Aug.25.
“Just his commitment to thedistrict,” is what Broadwatersaid set Newton apart from thehalf-dozen in-house candidateswho applied for the job. (Be-cause of the timing of Scott’sresignation and the officialstart of high school athleticpractices Aug. 1, Broadwaterdid not look outside the school.)
“He has integrity, characterand enthusiasm. He was a Divi-sion I college athlete. (Newtonplayed baseball at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati.) He’s won astate championship as an assis-tant coach with our footballteam. His kids have gonethroughthedistrictplayingsoc-cer and cheerleading.
“He’s seen the whole gamutof athletics as a player, a coach,a father. The experience Chrishas, you’re not going to findvery often in somebody takingover as AD. It’s always goodwhen you have good choices -andwe had a lot of good ones in-ternally - and I think this is go-ing to be a great fit.”
Moving into administrationmoves Newton off the sidelinesand out of the classroom,wherehe taught physical and earthscience.
“(Giving up) the ball fields isdifficult, but I’m going to be
able to deal with 26 varsityteams to make up for that,” hesaid. “It’s going to be tougher togive up my classroom. I’m ateacher first, a teacher andcoach. But like I told the com-mittee, I will be in the hallways,visible, interacting with kids.”
Scott cited a recent move toMadeira with her family as hermain reason for stepping down.
“I think the increased dis-tance and trying to be involvedin two districts duringweekendand evening hours would havebeendifficult,” she said. “I haveno plans right now other thanenjoying more hours at homeand having more fun on week-ends off.
“I will be around through thetransition of the new AD. (I’m)proud of just being a small partof a top-notch school district,one that captures state-wide at-tention in sports and in theclassroom. I'd like to be remem-bered as a team-oriented ADwho did what was best for thestudent athletes and supportedthe coaches.”
Newtonknowshe’s signedonfor a demanding schedule in asometimes thankless role.
“I know the hours are goingto be long, butmywife and kidsknow how happy AndersonHigh School makes me,” hesaid. “They’re willing to makethat sacrifice for me to see methis happy.”
Anderson High School baseball coach Chris Newton - shown at right June 25 during his annual summerbaseball camp - will be the new athletic director at Anderson. He follows Pam Scott, who resigned after nineyears on the job. MARK D. MOTZ/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

CHATTANOOGA — Whenmost tourists pull into Chatta-nooga, Tennessee, in the sum-mer time, they’re usually fol-lowing those roadway bird-houses to Rock City or theobligatory following stops atRubyFalls andLookoutMoun-tain.
When Brent Suter hitstown, he goes from bus to mo-tel to ballpark.
The Moeller High School2008 graduate is a member ofthe Huntsville Stars of the AASouthern League, an affiliateof theMilwaukeeBrewers.OnJuly 10-14, they spent an ex-tended weekend at AT&TField; with the fans down bythe river.
Suterhasbeenmaking fansfrom his Anderson Townshipdays to Moeller to Harvardand throughout the Brewersfarm system.
Not drafted until the 31stround in 2012, the 6-foot-5 lef-ty leads the Stars in inningspitched and wins.
“My changeup has beenclicking,” Suter said. “I’vebeen keeping the team in thegame. I’vebeenaveraging six,seven or eight innings agame.”
The former Crusader actu-ally has done more than keepthe Stars in the game,winningmost and nearly throwing ano-hitter back in April. Fit-tingly, it came on EducationDay at Huntsville’s JoeW. Da-vis Stadium as Suter recentlyspent his offseason substituteteaching in the Forest HillsSchool District.
Since the IvyLeague, Suterhashad stops inHelena,Wisc.,
and Brevard County, Florida,in addition to Huntsville. Hebegan in the Rookie League asa reliever, but has been start-ing since 2013.
Though a successful pitch-er at Moeller his senior year(3-0. 0.89 ERA), teammatesGreg Williams and Russ Olto-rik had more wins and loggedmore innings. He developedmore on the mound at Har-vard and has honed his craftsince.
“Confidence, experience,mound presence and I’vequickened my tempo a littlebit,” Suter said. “I’ve gottenmore command of my pitchesand Iwant to try andget a fork(ball) or cutter in the nextyear. I’vebeenreadinghitter’sswings and throwing a lotmore changeups to leftiesthan ever before.”
Though not currently onthe Milwaukee 40-man roster,Suter would like to get an in-vite to big league spring train-ing over the winter.
“They just said finish theseason strong and keep themomentum going into the off-season,” Suter said. “I’m justtrying to get myself in AAA.”
Playing for an NL affiliate,Suter has also enjoyed the of-fensive aspect of the gamethis season. At Moeller, he ledthe Greater Catholic League-South in runs batted in (30) in2008 and hit a cool .389 whilemanning center field.
Several times this season,he’s helped his team with thelumber.

“It really showed howmany people ralliedaround me, how many

EAST END — Turns outMary Queen of Scotsdidn’t need a stick afterall.
With the arrival of footgolf in Cincinnati, all thepurported inventor of theancient gameneededwas,well, a foot. And a soccerball.
The latest iteration oftraditional golf - kicking asoccer ball around thecourse instead of usingclubs - arrived earlier thissummer at Reeves GolfCourse in the East Endand Woodland GolfCourse in Western Hills.Glenview Golf Course inGlendale will add a four-hole foot course as well.Friendly Meadows GolfCourse near Bethel offi-cially opens its foot golfcourse Aug. 9.
Woodland - a nine-holetraditional course - puttwo different foot holesnear each green to makean 18-hole foot course.Reeves uses the par-threecourse along the Beech-mont Levee for its footgolf.
“All the feedbackwe’ve gotten has beenreally positive,” said PaulHolzderber of Billy Cas-perGolf, themanagementcompany operating theCincinnati RecreationCommission courses. “Iknow there have beensome repeat players.Some of the younger guyshave been spreading theword. We haven’t evenstartedmarketing it, real-ly.”
Brad Poppell of Mil-
fordheardabout thegamebywordofmouth and see-ing Facebook posts aboutit. He coaches a U9 boysteam in the CincinnatiSoccer Alliance Programand brought some of hisplayers - including his sonBradley - to Reeves for around July 31.
It was the second tripfor the Poppells, whileEvan Chesnut, WilliamWalker and his cousinChristian Trottier - visit-ing from Toronto, Canada- played for the first time.The boys gave a unani-mous thumbsup to the ex-perience
“It’s reallygood techni-cal work for the kids,” theelder Poppell said. “A lotof the other coaches arestarting to bring theirkids down, too. It’s well-priced, it’s fast and it’sfun. I think it’s going tocatch on well.”
Poppell said he and hisfour young playing part-ners got around the nine-
hole par three course atReeves in about an hour,and that was with a fewholdups waiting for tradi-tional golfers to hole out.He likened the tee shot toagoalkickandputting toatouch pass.
“It’s a great way forthese guys to work ontheir soccergamewithoutit being a bunch of drills,”he said.
SaidWalker, “You haveto decide pretty fast ifyou’re going to use yourinside foot (instep) or theoutside. It’s a competitivegame.”
Amy Timon - regionaldirector of marketing forCasper Golf - said thegame is already popularin the Washington, D.C.,area and is growing inChicago, Michigan andFlorida.
“It’s an idea we heardabout and liked and wewanted to try here,” shesaid.

CINCINNATI — In mid-July, a group of Cincin-nati Marlins put a hurt-ingon the swimmingrec-ord books before return-ing home from the 2014Long Course JuniorOlympic Championshipsat Miami University.
As they returned onOhio 27, coachChrisWol-ford’s crew of 92 had 37state titles, 22 meet rec-ords and four nationalrecords.
The national recordswere set by the 13-14boys in the 800 free relay(Justin Grender, Nicho-las Perera, Jake Fosterand Josh McDonald in7:58.64 - first ever undereightminutes in theUnit-ed States); the 200 med-ley relay (Justin Gren-der, Jake Foster, NickPerera and Josh McDon-ald - 1:52.17); and the 400medley relay (JustinGrender, Jake Foster,Nicholas Perera, JoshMcDonald - 4:04.42).
Not to be outdone, the11-12 boys were the firstsub-four minute 400 freerelay team in the UnitedStates posting a 3:58.04(Carson Foster, JacobMcDonald, Ansel Frossand Kevin Thibodeaux).
For the 13-14 group,Grender and Perera areSt. Xavier Aquabombersand Josh McDonald at-tends Lakota East.
“We really loweredsome state marks byquite abit,”Wolfordsaid.“It’s kind of a tribute to
our depth that we wereable toput together somenational record-settingrelays with really no na-tional record-setting in-dividuals. They wereable to come together atthe same time and setthose records.”
Wolford had littletime to celebrate the ac-complishments of hisyounger Marlins as the15-18 group was back inthe pool the followingweek in Oxford for theircompetition. The Mar-lins, for the most part,areayear roundcommit-ment.
“We take the highschool kids and trainthem in the offseason,”Wolford said. “Almost allof the high school swim-mers swim with theirclubs through spring andsummer.We take a breakin August, then theycome back in the fall andtrain until the high
school season starts.”The program includes
more than500swimmersnow and more than 100have become high schoolAll-Americans in the lastdozen years.Wolford hascoached swimmers totheNationalJuniorTeamand coached Dan Ket-chum in the Pan Ameri-can Games. Ketchum,from Sycamore, went onto become an Olympicgold medalist in 2004.
The veteran coachthinksthissummer’srec-ord-setting relay swim-mers are destined for ac-colades beyond the statetournament in Canton.
“These guys wereable to win by enoughthat if they stay on track,they should be contend-ing for state titles,” Wol-ford said. “Theyhave thepotential to swim on thenational stage and scoreon the national stage.”
The 11-12 and 13-14 Cincinnati Marlins broke fournational records at the 2014 Long Course Junior Olympicsat Miami University. THANKS TO ROBERT PRANGLEY
important races/issues in the No-vember election? Why are theyimportant?
“The most important issueon the ballot inNovember is theAnderson Township attempt toextort $100 million-plus fromproperty owners to ‘update’ allschool buildings and tear downand rebuild one elementaryschool. If passed, this blatant,unnecessary money grab willsuck an incremental $800-$1,000 annually out of my wal-let. I do not intend to be a lem-ming and blindly let them getaway with it. I urge all sentientAnderson Township propertyowners to vote a resounding‘no!’ on this issue in November.

“I consider the preservationofMusic Hall and Union Termi-nal to be themost important po-tential issue on the Novemberballot, which is why I waspleased to see the guest columnbyJoshGerth in theJuly30For-est Hills Journal titled ‘Region-al icons need support from re-gion.’
“That conclusion is so obvi-ous as to be self-evident. Unfor-tunately,Mr.Gerth’sargumentssupporting it are so incoherentandcontradictory that theypro-vide ammunition to those whocare little for these historicaland architectural gems.
“Mr. Gerth compares taxingHamilton County residents insupport of these institutions totaxing Cincinnati residents tosupport public schools in An-derson Township. This is a falseanalogy.
“Cincinnati children do notattendAndersonpublic schools,butAndersonresidents (suchasI) patronize Music Hall andUnion Terminal in overwhelm-ing numbers. Cincinnati claimsthat its additional support with-outcountysupportwouldrepre-sent a double tax on Cincinnati.Mr. Gerth says that HamiltonCounty residents would also bedouble-taxed by having to payparking fees.
“Parking fees are user fees,nota tax (unless theywouldcon-stitute a triple-tax on Cincin-natians).
“Mr. Gerth also seems tothink that Butler and Warrencounties are in Northern Ken-tucky. I admire his using thiscreative geography to supporthis ‘regional’ argument, but Isuspect that House SpeakerJohn Boehner would choose to
differ.“I strongly support the con-
cept of regional responsibility,in every way, for the future ofMusicHall andUnionTerminal.From my father’s departure toWorldWar II, to lastweek’s ‘Ma-dame Butterfly,’ they have en-riched my life and that of myfamily and friends. I simplywish they had more articulatefriends than Josh Gerth.”

“Themost important issue inthe next election is taking ourcountry back from the loonswho have been in charge for thepast six years. Sidebar to that isstop the lllegal immigration; let-ting all these unchecked indi-viduals into this country is cra-zy. I know the liberals look atthem as potential voters downthe road and nothing else, butthe damage that is taking placein themean time isoff thechart.Wake up folks, this is a crisisthat we had better take very se-riously.”

July 24 questionShould pit bulls be banned?
Why or why not?
“Given the proper circum-stances, all dogsbite.Thestatis-tics show that the No. 1 biterbreed is Labradors. It doesn’ttake into account that labradorsare the most popular dog, sothere are more of them, andhence, more bites. It is ridicu-lous to ban or punish a certainbreed. In the ‘60s, Dobermanswere vilified, then Germanshepherds, now it’s pit bulls. Inthe next decade, it may be chi-huahuas. All. Dogs. Bite.”
Ariel Wulff
“Pit bulls should not bebanned. Breed-specific legisla-tion does not work. Severalbreeds or dogs that are mixedare just likely to attack as a pitand can do just as much dam-age. Just as everyhuman, everydog is different.”

Graduating fromMadeiraHigh School in 2011, with atotal of 117 students in myclass, we often turned tosports to embrace our small-school spirit.
As a senior, our team of 11girls brought home the OH-SAA state championship,beating Hathaway Brown 2-1in extra time. Inspiringenough, it was the Amazons’first state championship.
Being fromMadeira andbeing a soccer fan is natural.So when Brazil was chosenhost for the 2014 FIFAWorldCup it drewmy attention. TheUnited States Men’s NationalTeam’s highest finish wasthird back in 1930. Since 1990,the US has only reached theround of 16 three times. Sowhat could we expect in 2014?
“We cannot win this WorldCup, because we are not atthat level yet. For us, we haveto play the game of our livesseven times to win the tourna-ment,” manager JürgenKlinsmann said. Some saythat quote was more of achallenge than a declaration.But it was a challenge to beheeded as the USA waspooled with Germany, Portu-gal, and Ghana in Group G.The draw labeled “The Groupof Death.” On paper TeamUSA didn’t stand a chance.
USAmatched up withGhana in the first round, acountry that had knocked
them out ofthe World Cupthe last twoyears. Amer-ica stunned allthe pundits bydefeatingGhana 2-1.Clint Demp-sey scored inthe first 34seconds andJohn Brooks
scored late to secure a win.Nice start TeamUSA.
Next was Portugal, anoth-er country that was expectedto trounce the Americans.The USMen’s National Teamplayed hard and Portugal waslucky to escape with a tieafter Silvestre Varela's 95th-minute goal secured a 2-2finish, delaying the Amer-icans advancement.
World Cup fever quicklygrew in the U.S. Nearly125,000 tickets sold to Amer-icans tripping to Brazil, nocountry had more. At homeAmerican crowds grew big-ger and louder as the Cupwent on. Fans filled to capac-ity venues like Chicago’sGrant Park along with count-less sports bars across Amer-ica. USA broadcasters ABCand ESPN have their largestWorld Cup audiences ever.
Then comes Germany. TheAmericans played hard, butGermany broke the gameopen when ThomasMuller
headed in a perfectly placedball at the 55th minute markto go up 1-0. The score wouldremain 1-0 through the finalwhistle, yet, because of atiebreaker, TeamUSA ad-vanced. The critics have beensilenced.
Unfortunately in theRound of 16, Belgium downedthe Americans 2-1 in extratime. Although U.S. goalieTimHoward played the gameof his life, with a FIFA record16 saves, it wasn’t enough.
Germany went on to winthe World Cup beating Argen-tina 1-0 while destroying Bra-zil 7-1 along the way. Our 1-0loss to champions validatedour inclusion in the WorldCup’s Round of 16.
So what did the World Cupmean to America? As a coun-try we’ve had our challenges,a shaky economy, tough jobmarket, stagnant incomes,and a world that seems to beexploding in conflict. Thoughit’s just a sport the countryfelt completely united.Watching TimHoward’s in-credible performance on aglobal stage, watching theincredible enthusiasm fromUSA fans everywhere, it justfelt great to be an American.
John Carpenter is a resident ofMadeira. He will be entering hissenior year at the E.W. ScrippsSchool of Journalism, Ohio Univer-sity.

Now that we have seen theOhio third-grade state read-ing test results was anyonesurprised that 14,000 third-grade students failed toachieve a passing score?
Fortunately, state officialsare providing students addi-tional opportunities to showreading proficiency by ac-cepting minimum satisfac-tory scores from alternativetests. Nevertheless, next yeara small percentage of third-graders will inevitably re-main in third-grade readingclasses until they achieve apassing grade.
Looking toward the imme-diate future, the percentageof next year’s third-gradestudents who fail to achievethe minimum passing scoreof 392 will more than likelyincrease. Revised tests thatfocus on common standards,plus the transition from pen-cil and paper exams to onlineresponses will become theleading contributors to thisdisheartening change.
Surely everyone realizesthat the third-grade readingtest scores not only reflectstudents’ achievement of justone year, but all of the otheryears preceding third-gradeas well.
So, any adaptations inreading programs, teachingtechniques, and instructionalstrategies must occur at alllevels rather than just third-grade.
Are there proactive in-structional interventions that
school admin-istrators andteachersshould con-sider to in-sure that thehighest pos-sible numberof third-grad-ers succeed?Althoughthere is no
one panacea or scripted pro-gram, there are multipleeducational options that areworthy of pursuit. Whateverchoices schools make theyshould think in terms of threeeducational principles.
First, school districts thatintegrate elementary devel-opmental reading programswith the other major lan-guage components of listen-ing, writing, and speakingwill have a far greater chanceof assuring student successthan those who choose toteach reading as an isolateddiscipline. This approachfollows the basic languagetenet of “what I hear, I cansay. What I say, I can write.And what I can write, I canread.”
Recognizing the realitythat all students do not growat the same pace is a funda-mental concept of the teach-ing-learning process is thesecond principle. School dis-tricts that enable elementaryteachers to identify and im-plement reading-languageprograms designed to meetthe developmental reading
needs of individual studentswill empower children withacademic success in theclassroom as well as see sig-nificant progress with annualtest results.
Third, school adminis-trators should make a deter-mined effort to lift the bur-den of the excessive numberof summative tests adminis-tered within a single gradelevel. Through the use ofinformal observations, ques-tions and reflective skills,teachers know where theirstudents are performing on adaily basis. As a result theycan devise plans, activitiesand strategies in real time toaddress weaknesses or cap-italize on strengths.
Children come to schoolwith an infinite number ofinterests, skills and expecta-tions.
Taking advantage of theirrich experiences, progressiveeducators can use their pro-fessional expertise to createmultiple language learningopportunities for each childto achieve success.
Once this happens we willsee elementary students ad-vance academically as well asincrease their scores onOhio’s state standardizedreading test.

BrynMooth, whowrites the food blogWrites4Food.com, amongother creative endeavors,
food and gardening,though I will say Brynlooks way too young to beso accomplished. Herblog has doable, reallygood recipes with beauti-ful photos. One thatcaught my eye recentlywas her French picnicsalad in a jar. Oh mygosh, I wanted to dig intothe photo with a fork, itlooked that good. I’msharing the recipe here.
By the way, this fallshe’ll be publishing herbook “The Findlay Mar-ket Cookbook” with sto-ries and recipes thatcelebrate our unique andhistoric Findlay Market.The book focuses on foodthat vendors are proud tosell along with their sto-ries and histories.
MyMom and Daddrove their Chevy toFindlay just about everyweek when we were kids.They had certain favoritevendors who knew themby name just like I dotoday. Mom and Dadalways got good bar-gains, witnessed by atrunk load of ethnic foodsfor our Lebanese table!
Bryn’s French picnicsalad in a jar
Bryn says: “A beauti-
ful layered salad in a jar(She used aWeck .5LMold jar), perfect fortransporting to a picnicor, less romantically, tothe office. You could spinthis salad-in-a-jar thing amillion different ways,but I went for a riff onthe classic French ni-coise salad, with steamedpotatoes, green beansand a mustardy vinai-grette. If you layer thedressing on the bottomand the lettuce on thetop, then your salad in-gredients stay nice andfresh and crisp untilyou’re ready to eat, atwhich point you simplyshake the jar to distrib-ute the dressing, andstick your fork all theway to the bottom to geta bit of everything in onebite.”
Salad8 to 10 small cherry or
grape tomatoes1/2 cup shredded
cooked chickenHandful fresh green
beans, trimmed to 1-inchlengths
3 little fingerling pota-toes
Few pitted black ol-ives
3-4 leaves of butterlettuce, cut into thin rib-bons
Mustardy vinaigretteWhisk together:1/3 cup white-wine or
champagne vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon
mustard1 tablespoon honey1/2 cup olive oilSalt & pepperPrepare green beans
and potatoes: In a pot ofboiling salted water, cookpotatoes until just tender,about 8 to 10 minutes;remove with slottedspoon to colander to cool.
To the same pot, addbeans and blanch for 1minute; transfer to colan-der and run under verycold water to stop cook-ing. Slice potatoes intorounds about 1/4-inchthick.
Spoon a generoustablespoon of dressinginto bottom of jar, thenlayer rest of ingredientsin this order: cherrytomatoes, shreddedcooked chicken, greenbeans, sliced potatoes,black olives and, finally,lettuce. Keep refrigerat-ed until about 30 minutesbefore serving. Shake jarto distribute dressing.
Rita’s freshpeppermint iced tea
For Matt, who has anabundance of mint andasked: “How do I sub-stitute fresh mint for theamount of mint that’s in ateabag?”
Take a generous cou-ple handful of mintleaves and crush them alittle between your palmsor with a spoon to releasethe healthful oils. Placeinto a large mug or jar.Pour 2 cups simmeringwater over, cover andsteep about 10 minutes.Strain and taste. Addmore water if you like.Cool and pour over ice. Ilike to sweeten it withraw honey or Stevia andserve with a wedge ofcitrus.
Tips from Rita’sgarden
Along with vitamin C,
mint is a good digestiveherb and the tea is a nat-ural coolant.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
