GREATER GOALSSycamore track sets sightson league meetSports, A6

MILFORD — City andSymmes Township govern-ments were set to vote Tues-dayonacooperative initiativethat would assess a new busi-ness tax in the township thatwould benefit both SymmesandMilford.

Symmes Township Admin-istrator Brian Elliff said at apublic hearing April 23 be-

fore the town-ship Board ofTrustees thatrevenue from aproposed jointeconomic-de-velopmentzone in thetownshipwould allowSymmes to re-

place the $1.5 million thetownship has been losing an-nually in cuts from the stateand other former fundingsources – all without raisingproperty taxes.

The trustees voted to tableuntil Tuesday, May 6, a deci-sion on whether to askSymmes Township residentsto vote in November onwhether to joinMilford in thecreation of a joint economic-development zone in thetownship.

If approved, a 0.75-percentincome taxwould be assessedbusinesses that operate andpeople who work in the zone,which would include most ofthe township’s businessareas.

Symmes Township offi-cials are encouraging resi-dents to visit the townshipwebsite for information onthe proposed new businesstax.

Soon to be posted atwww.symmestownship.org isaPowerPoint presentationEl-liff presented at the April 23

trustees’ meeting and docu-ments related to the proposedjoint economic-developmentzone, in which Milford wouldbe paid 8 percent of the pro-ceeds – after costs - to collectthe tax for SymmesTownshipunder terms of a state-ap-proved program. The town-ship would pocket the other92 percent.

Elliff’s PowerPoint pres-entation at the April 23 meet-ing showed Symmes Town-ship losingmore than$1.5mil-lion annually and indicatedthe situation is expected toworsen.

“The revenue shortfall isexpected to rise to over $1.9million per year when thetownship’s (tax-increment fi-nancing) district expires inseveral years,” Elliff said.

“The joint economic-de-velopment zone’s income taxof 0.75 percent on wages andbusinesses only within thezone would be expected toraise about the same amount.

“The additional fundswould also rebalance thetownship’s source of tax reve-nue, of which only about 25percent is now derived frombusiness properties,” Elliffsaid.

Symmes Township andMilford both would have toapprove the proposed zonebefore it went to a vote oftownship residents.

Milford City Council is tovote Thursday, May 8, on thecontract.

Themeeting is set to beginat 7 p.m. at the Milford Muni-cipal Building at 745 CenterSt.

“At a time when cities arefacing a harder time balanc-ing their budgets due to cutsfrom the state, alternativesources of revenue are vital,”said Milford Mayor LaurieHowland.

Parkers Blue Ash Tav-ern hosted a KentuckyDerbyPartyonSaturday,May 3. Half of the pro-ceeds from the eventwent to theSpecialOlym-pics of Hamilton CountyEquestrian Program,which practices at Win-ton Wood Riding Center.

“(Parkers) wanted togive back to the commu-nity and the ridingcenterreally seemed like theperfect fit,” said Kim

Sheridan, spokespersonfor Parkers.

Dee Anderson, headcoach for Special Olym-pics of Hamilton County,

said she was excitedwhen she was contactedabout doing a fundraiserwith Parkers.

“They have a horse-themed restaurant andwe have a horse-themedprogram. And all ourpeople are horse crazy,”Anderson said.

Parkers’ Derby partyfeatured Kentucky andDerby-themed dishesand drinks and contestsfor best ladies’ Derbyhat, most original Derbyoutfit and most stylishgentleman.

Anderson and a fewothers were at the eventto answer questions andshow a video about theprogram.

Anderson said theequestrian program has

25 athletes who trainweekly. The athletescompete to make the 15-person house team andthen move onto the statecompetition.

“We are always look-ing for ways to raisemoney because our ath-letes have a lot of ex-penses,” Anderson said,adding in addition toequipment the athletesalso have to pay for les-sons and the team makesa trip to Kentucky everyyear to compete.

“The athletes all workreally hard. Our goal is tosend someone to theworld games. There is alot of expenses for theathletes and this reallyhelps,” Anderson said

A bid to repair roofs atseveral IndianHill schoolsis $20,000more than antic-ipated.

However, the districtmay make some adjust-ments on future projectsto even out the costs.

Treasurer Julia Tothsaid bids have been ap-proved for roof repairs atthehighschool andmiddleschool.

Thebidwas awarded toWilliam Kramer and SonInc.

Thetotalcost to taxpay-ers for roof restorationand coating at the highschool will be about$229,200. The cost to tax-payers to restore and coatthe roof at the middleschool will be about$30,530.

This is $20,000 over

what was budgeted, saidToth during the Aprilschool boardmeeting.

Toth said Facilities Di-rector Ken Stegman willlikely try andbring in bidsfor other projects at a low-er cost tohelpmakeup thedifference.

The board also ap-proved renewal of con-tract services with theHamilton County Educa-tional Service Center andAramark Food Services.

The board also ap-proved transportationsoftware for the buses at acost of $19,630.

This software will pro-videGPSdata, driver timeand attendance and pro-vide electronic vehicle in-spection reports.

ConstructionisongoingattheKenwoodCollection,but the retail-and-officedevelopment to the east ofKenwood Towne Centrewill have a new look whenit opens.

Phillips Edison & Co.,which owns the property,is asking the SycamoreTownshipZoningCommis-sion for a major modifica-tion to the plannedunit de-velopment.

The company wants toredesign the façade andadjust the floor plans, aswell as add onemore floorof usable space alongwithan "iconic roof structure"to housemechanical units,according to a letter fromMark Wilhoite, develop-ment director for PhillipEdison & Co.'s StrategicInvestment Funds.

Greg Bickford, thetownship's planning andzoning director/assistanttownship administrator,said the additional floor isfor the office tower only,and the original glass fa-çade will be reconfigured.

"It's been a pretty con-stant design for the lastcouple months," Bickfordsaid at a recent SycamoreTownship trustees meet-ing.

Other changes includeon-site management andsecurity offices, adjust-ments to the elevators tobetter separate officespace and retail, and up-grades to the office lobbyand office drop-off area.

These modificationsare, according toWilhoite,

a "result of Phillips Edi-son's desire to raise thelevel of the office charac-ter to that of a one-of-a-kind world-class productthat will stand the test oftime."

"We don't believe thatany of the proposedchanges have a negativeimpact on the communityand in fact will raise thequality of the project andcapitalize on an under-servedofficemarketwith-in Kenwood and the town-ship," Wilhoite wrote.

Phillips Edison boughtthe property in 2012. Un-der previous owners andknown asKenwoodTownePlace, the project becamea symbol for failed real es-tate developments.

Subcontractors walkedoffthejobfornonpaymentin 2008, and a foreclosure,a bankruptcy, criminalprosecutions and numer-ous lawsuits shut downwork for years on the $175million project.

It previously was an-nounced that anchor ten-ant Saks Fifth Avenue isexpected to move in 2016from downtown to a new,larger store. Current re-tail tenants are Crate &Barrel, the ContainerStore andMitchell Salon&Day Spa.

Construction work atthe site underPhillipsEdi-son ownership began inlast September.

Instead of studying a theoryfirst, then putting it into prac-tice, a group of students atPrinceton High School havelearned in reverse, real-lifestyle.

The project, which satisfiesstate curriculum standards,was fashioned after a previousjob experience by teacher Bri-an Lien.

“When I worked in the engi-neering field, I had to do re-verse engineering on projectsall the time,” Lien said of theproject that required 20 stu-dents in two sessions of his En-gineering Your Future class toevaluate a product, figure outhow to construct it, build it andestablish pricing for a virtualclient.

“It’s a real-worldproject thatthey all have to understand ifthey went into engineering,” hesaid. “They’dbedoingthis in thefield.”

Students, working in teams,received a tool tray, to begin the

project.They measured it and con-

verted those measurementsinto a CAD (computer aideddrawing),printingthedrawingsin full scale before making aprototype of the tray.

They used orthographic, orright-angle projections of thetop, front and right side of thetray, applying those projectionsto the CAD.

The assignment also fol-lowed STEM principles:

Science of the sheet metal,which stretches as it bends.

“It’s not a clean bend, likewith paper,” Lien said. “In in-dustry, you have to understandthis, and now they have thatawareness.”

Technology of the CAD sys-tem to create the product draw-ings.

Engineering of the tool tray.Math to measure the dimen-

sions, as well as to determinepricing for the virtual client,who would order the product ina real-life business.

“We’re putting their educa-tion to work,” Lien said.

Jeremy Abbot, a junior, feltaccomplishment because hewas able to follow the projectfrom theory to production.

“We get to follow throughwith it, and it makes us moreprecise in our drawings,”Abbotsaid. “We find out what’s wrongwith them, and we can fix it.

“Then, we get to make thefinished product. We get to ofrom start to finish.”

Lien said students used theircalculations and prototype tomanufacture a tool box, whichtheycomparedwith the sample.

“Does it look like the modelthey were given,” he said. “Iftheir sketcheswere correct anddrawings exact, it should lookjust like the actual aluminumtool tray.

“They would take that proto-type to the client and see ifthat’s what they want.”

Lien was the client, and thecurrency was a grade.

In the manufacturing stage,students were challenged to layout the drawing in themost eco-nomical way, with the leastamount of waste, and with the

ability to use anywaste in a pro-ductiveway, as goodmaterial tobe used in another way.

Ben Faught, a junior, likedthe interactive teamwork.

“It feels like you’re workingin the real world,” he said. “Fig-

uring the dimensions was thehardest part because we didn’thae precise numbers and thetoolboxes were different sizes.We had to go back and measureit again.”

Just like in the real world.

It’s the time of year when many highschool seniors are counting down thedays until graduation and are makingsummer plans. At Sycamore HighSchool, the senior class is planning onelast community service project beforethey leave: Senior Service Day.

OnMay29at11a.m., aftergraduationrehearsal, students will participate inone of four service projects. The firstproject isparticipating ina lockerclean-up at the high school, 7400Cornell Road,and donating supplies from studentlockers to Operation Giveback, a localorganization that inspires and empow-ers children to improve their lives andcommunities.

“Working at Operation Giveback hasbeen one of the most rewarding experi-ences ofmy high school career,” RachelSun said. “I am constantly inspired byhow ambitious and lively the kids areand I love connecting with them.”

The second service activity is mak-ing sandwiches for The Sandwich Pro-ject, aproject thathasbeenatSycamoreJunior High School for 11 years. Stu-dents will gather at the high school andmake 250 sandwiches to take to St.John’s “sandwich window” to help feedCincinnati’s hungry.

“Sycamore has lots of opportunitiesto do community outreach, but I loveThe Sandwich Project,” senior BryanWaterhouse said. “Students can see thedirect outcome of their actions as theymakesandwiches thatwill beeaten laterthe same day.”

For the third project, students willagain gather at the high school to writeletters of support to service men andwomen. Sycamore students began writ-ing letters to individuals in the militaryin elementary school and continuedthrough junior high school. The hope isthat students will be able to write thesame troops they previously wrote, butthis time as graduating seniors, somewho are entering the military.

SYMMES TWP. — If a feweggs need to be cracked tomake an omelet, meet a goodegg. Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy junior NathanielHipsley plays first singles forthe Eagles tennis team. He’s inhis first year on the varsityteam and struggling.

But he doesn’t mind. Nei-ther does his coach.

“He has a lot of stuff heneedstoworkon,buthealwaysgives 100 percent,” said CHCAhead coach Lynn Nabors-McNally. “I don’t knowhowfarthatwill take him in tennis, butit isgoingto takehimfar in life.He works very hard and givesa great effort every day.

“He takesabullet everydayandheneverhasabadattitude.He never has a match whereit’s easy, where he can relax. Igive him a lot of credit.”

Hipsley doesn’t like to lose,but being an inexperiencedvarsity player facing the likesof defending state championAsher Hirsch of CincinnatiCountry Day match in andmatchoutmakes for adifficultroad. He chooses to focus onthe positive aspects.

“Bymebeing thebullet-tak-er, that gives the rest of myteam a chance to win theirmatches,” Hipsley said. “If Ihappen to be the sacrificiallamb at first singles, but wewin the match, then that’sworth it.

“I’m just up from the JV, somaybe I’d prefer to be playingthird singles or playing dou-

bles and have a better chanceto win myself. But if I get toplay these great, great playerseverymatch, thatcanonlyhelpmy own game. If I get a matchwith somebody at my experi-ence level, I’m going to beready. It’s like swinging threebats before you go up to hit inbaseball.”

Hipsley didn’t take up ten-nis until he was 15. His momwas captain of her high schoolteam in Michigan and wantedto get back in the game. Shebrought Nathaniel and his sis-ter Ella - who played on theCHCAJVgirls teaminthefall -alongwhenshestartedplayingagain. He found an athletichome.

Hipsley grew up in Wyo-ming (the Cincinnati suburb,not the state) and moved toLovelandprior tohis freshmanyear. He had run some crosscountry, but shin splints cur-tailed that sport. And in hiswords, “aguywho’s150poundssoakingwetprobablyshouldn’tbe out trying to play football,”so tennis proved a good fit.

He said the best part of hisgame is his serving, but addedhe needs work on forehand re-turns and his play around thenet.

“I like themental part of it,”Hipsley said. “I’m not the big-gest guy out there, but that’sone of the great things abouttennis, you don’t have to be. Ifyou can think yourway aroundthe court and you can move,you can equalize some of thesize advantages against some-body.”

CoachHankRaywill take theSycamoreHigh School boys andgirls track teams to Atrium Sta-dium in Mason May 14 for theGreater Miami Conferencemeet.

“Our strong areas are our re-lays and our field events,” Raysaid.

TheboysteamleadstheGMCin the 4x100 and is looking tomoveup fromthird in the4x200,4x400 and 4x800.

The Aves would like to im-prove in the 4x800. It featuresAdamLucken, currently secondin the 800 meters, and Ray Ber-ling, currently third in the 1,600and 3,200.

“It could be any one of sevenor eight different guys,” Raysaid.

Martin Gonzalez, Kevin Law-son andMaxHill are others thatcould join Lucken and Berling.

Ray’s sprinters in the 4x100are seniors Jamar Hunter andRonnie Williams, sophomoreJeremiah Hunter and freshmanBrendan Archer. At presstime,they topped the league at :42.79.

Individually, Williams leadsthe league in the100andJeremi-ah Hunter is third.

“It’s going to be tops in thecity by the end of the season Ihope,” Ray said of his 4x100team.

Senior JohnVuotto is the her-alded hurdler at :14.65 in the 110and 39.94 in the 300 intermedi-ates. In the shot put and discus,senior Todd Lewis rules.

“He’s one of the top ones inthe city in the shot and still try-ingtocomealong indiscus,”Raysaid.

Lewis has heaved the shot 54’1” and the discus 154’ 9”. In thehunt for the GMC pole vaultcrown is Nathan Gregg, one ofRay’s busier Aves.

“He’s gone13 feet,” Ray said.“We knew he was our No. 1 polevaulter. He’s just doing a lot.He’s also a leg of our 4x200 and4x400.”

Sycamore’s girls are secondin the 4x100 relay and leagueleaders inthe4x400and4x800.Ayear ago, the Lady Aves weredominant in the 4x800.

gie Thompson, junior Julia Mat-tis and sophomores Grace Louisand Ali Garcia have been reliedupon for this spring’s 4x800.

Menyhart leads the GMC inthe 1,600 and 3,200 runs by con-siderable margins.

“The mighty midget,” Rayjoked. “She’s a tough little girl.I’m glad we have her on ourteam. She’s got a number ofschools interested. She’s goingto have her choice.”

In field events, freshmanAn-gela Ruffin leads league highjumpers, freshman Alexis Till-man is second in the long jumpandjuniorsToriSwartandMollyGearin are one-two in the polevault.

“She’sbeentothe indoorstatemeet,” Ray said of Swart. “She’sour most seasoned pole vaulter.She’s also long jumping and do-ing a couple of relays.”

SIDELINES

Ray Witte of Montgo-mery just wants to spendtimewithDad. To do that,Ray got involvedwith theSouthwest Ohio SeniorOlympics, hosted by Cin-cinnati Recreation Com-mission.

“Before I could com-pete,” he recalls, “I spentmany times at eventswatching my Dad swimand was just waiting toturn 50 so I could swimwith him.”

This year, Ray will be65 years old and his fa-ther, Russ, will be 97. Rayand his father will be

competing in this year’sswimming events andhave been competing to-gether in the SeniorOlympics for 12 years.

Ray started swimmingwhen his father draggedhim kicking and scream-ing to swim lessons at 5years old. He fell in lovewith it, and has been acompetitive swimmerever since. During hishigh school years, heswam for the Cincy Coketeam. Ray’s dad has alsobeen a lifelong swimmer.Last year, at 96 years old,he won six goldmedals at

the 2013 National SeniorGames in Cleveland,Ohio. Ray also has ayounger brother, Jim,who also competes inswimming.

Two hip replacementsand back surgery mightkeep a swimmer out ofthe water, but not RayWitte; he uses swimmingas his therapy, both men-tal and physical. “Whenyou swim, thewater dullsyour senses,” he says,“and allows for mentalmeditation, relaxationand support in awarmen-vironment. I look for-

ward to getting in thepool.”

“I always see my Dadon the horizon,” Ray said.“It is my goal to continueswimming with my Dadandbrotherat asmany lo-cal, state and nationalevents as we can.”

KRUSE

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —If 2014 mirrors 2006 forthe St. Xavier HighSchool volleyball team,it’s going to be a funnextfewweeksfor theBomb-ers.

St. X (14-1) clinchedthe Greater CatholicLeague title for the firsttime since ’06, the sameyear as their last state ti-tle in volleyball.

“Thatwas nice; it wasone of our goals thisyear,” coach Bill Ferrissaid ofwinning theGCL.“The record is icing onthe cake. I didn’t know ifwe’d be undefeated (or)at .500. I didn’t knowwhere we’d fall, but Ilove being closer to theundefeated side than the.500 side.”

Winning brings morethan a smile to a coach’sface; it gives the coach abevy of options through-out the season when itcomes to his lineup.

“It buys me sometime,” Ferris said. “Itbuys patience on my be-half. It’s given us achance to try to work alittle bit for next year aswell. I get to see whatthey can do, what theylike to do in games, whattheydon’t and thenprob-ably equally as impor-tant, I get to rest someofthe starters. I don’t haveto keep pushing themout there every singlegame.”

That rest may provevital come the postsea-son. The South Regioncontinues to play as oneof the toughest regionsin the state and this yearis no different. TheMoeller Crusaders areranked No. 1 in theOHSBVA state poll withthe Elder Panthers sit-ting at No. 2, one spot in

front of theBombers. St.X is 3-1 against its GCLfoes this season.

The play of senior lib-ero Brian Dahm modelswhy this team’s been sosuccessful. Dahm madethe seamless transitionfrom setter to libero thisseason and is one of agroup of eight seniors tofind themselves in a dif-ferent role this season.

“Our senior leader-ship is solid,” Ferrissaid. “They’re all com-fortable playing. I’vemovedthemarounda lit-tle bit and they’ve beengreat adjusting to that.”

Adjustment is some-thing that has comeeasi-er for this group. Muchof that has to do withtheir experience. Whilemost of the seniors wereon varsity last season,the majority of juniorsstayed down on juniorvarsity last season sothey could make thetransition to the varsitylevel as a group in 2014.This allows for Ferrisand his coaching staff tobe more efficient withtheir precious time inthe gym.

“The thing that’s niceiswe don’t have to spendas much time showing itto them,wecan tell themand they understand,”thecoachsaid.“Theyun-derstand what they’resupposed to do and theycan feelwhat’s supposedto happen.”

Ferris likeswhere hisguys are mentally interms of knowing whattheirultimategoal is thisseason.

“We know we’re notperfect, we know wehave some things towork on and we knowanything short of achance at that statechampionship isgoing tobe pretty disappointingfor us this year.”

How much is enough?Politicians want to create

jealousy over the very rich inour communities.

They are not really lookingout for you. It is their ownpositions of power that theywant to keep.

Before you take my wordfor this, consider what thingsthe very rich do to improveyour life. Did you or a mem-ber of your family go to ahospital where an importantfunction or building carriesthe name of a rich donor?

Did you attend a school orcollege where it was endowedby a rich donor?

Do you or a member ofyour family work in a busi-ness where someone investedor risked money to createthat business? Carefully con-sider where you would be ifthose funds were not put touse for the public benefit.

Now, consider how thosethings that make your life

better wouldexist if thegovernmenttook all themoney fromthose richpeople andspent it forpolitical uses.Yes, there arerich donorswho gain fromsupporting

politicians. They get specialconsideration to keep themoney coming. And, they docreate some jobs, but do yourealize howmuchmoney endsup to make the politiciansrich?

What do they create?Laws! Howmuch are youwilling to pay for a law?

Well, you are paying, butyou don’t realize it. Much ofthat money goes to overpayfor government projects thatare either not needed or cost

too much due to favored par-ties, think voters.

Think of the “Bridge toNowhere!” Luckily thatwasn’t built. After the coldwinter, howmany pot holesare tearing up your tires?Where is the money to fixthem?

Do some of us think all ofthe very rich are totally hon-est? Greed affects all kinds ofpeople. Sometimes it seems tomany people that having anexcess of money is some sortof a valuation of one’s charac-ter.

What we may find interest-ing is that after a very com-fortable and successful life,eternity becomes an impor-tant factor in the minds of thevery wealthy. How will theybe remembered? It is perhapsthen that endowments be-come a driving force. Theirname on a prominent anduseful building becomes an

eternal reminder of them. Inmost cases, even the goodtranscends the past.

One thing wemust consid-er is that many, if not most ofthe very rich got there be-cause they earned it properly.They are to be respected andhonored for the good theyhave done for the rest of us.

We only have to considerthe life style of the workingclass compared to the condi-tions of the same people nottoo long ago. You don’t haveto think back very far to real-ize howmanymaterial bene-fits you have that were eithernot available or unaffordablenot too many years ago.

Do you really want to giveup your present life? Will youlive a longer and healthierlife with the things that areyet to come?

If you are an Ohio birth parentwho relinquished a child to adop-tion from1964 to 1996, then youneed to be aware that youmay bein for the most wonderful, fright-

ening, joyous,and surreal timeof your life-—meeting yourchild for thesecond (or evenfirst) time!

Last Decem-ber Gov. Kasichsigned into lawsubstitute SB 23that gives adopt-ed adults bornbetween 1964

and 1996 access to their originalbirth certificates. The intent ofthe law is to end discriminationand confer the same civil rightsto Ohio adoptees as to any othercitizen, namely access to per-sonal information about them-selves. The law takes effect onMarch 20, 2015.

For adoptees, having access totheir original birth certificateswill make the search for answersto deeply personal questionsmuch easier. Many adoptedadults yearn to meet the peoplewho gave them life and under-stand “Chapter 1” of their lives.“How did I come to be in thisworld? Who do I look like? Wheredomy innate talents come from?”These are questions only originalfamilies can answer.

In deference to birth parents,a provision of the new law is togive them one year to submitContact Preference forms to lettheir adult children know if andhow they prefer to be contacted.From research done in otherstates that opened sealed adop-tion records, very few birth par-ents ever say they want no con-tact. The forms will be availableon the Ohio Department ofHealth website onMarch 20,2014.

For some birth parents theprospect of reunion with theirlost childrenmay seem daunting,even frightening. I know this istrue because I was one of thosewomen who kept it secret fromall but a few for 29 years.

Opening the door to the pastand confrontingmy long buriedfeelings of shame and grief weredifficult at first, but so very liber-ating once the truth was told.With my family’s blessing andsupport, I made it easy for myadopted daughter to find us if shewas looking.

Using Internet resources, shefoundme17 years ago and todayour families fully embrace oneanother. We get together oftenfor birthdays and holidays and“just because.” As a young girlgrieving for her lost baby, I neverdreamed this would be possible.

Earth Day is a great timeto renew your commitment torecycling. Why recycle? Re-cycling is easy to do and has abig impact when everyone inthe community participates.

Recycling conserves ener-gy, saves natural resources,reduces pollution and createsjobs.

Most of us already recyclepop cans, plastic bottles,newspapers and milk jugs.There are lots of other itemsthat can be recycled, too.

» paper cartons frommilk,juice and soup;

» shampoo bottles;» salad dressing bottles;» contact solution bottles;» ketchup and mustard

bottles;» liquid laundry detergent

jugs;» jelly,

tomato sauce,pickle, andsalsa jars(separate themetal lidsand recyclethose, too);

» emptyaerosol cans(remove

tips);»magazines;» junk mail;» paper towel and toilet

paper cores;» tissue boxes.Items such as plastic bags,

yogurt cups, styrofoam, alu-minum foil, pie pans, takeoutor microwavable food traysdo not belong in your curb-

side or community drop-offrecycling. There are recy-cling outlets available formany of these items and youcan find a list on www.Hamil-tonCountyRecycles.org.

Have a question aboutwhether something is recy-

clable? Ask on Facebook andTwitter or by calling 946-7766.

April 30 questionDo you agree with the U.S.

Food and Drug Administrationproposed rules that would banthe sale of e-cigarettes to any-one under 18, but would not re-strict flavored products, onlinesales or advertising? Why orwhy not?

“I would suggest that U.S.Food & Drug Administrationban electronic cigarettes foreveryone regardless of flavor.Thatwould alsomean nomoreordering online and advertis-ing.

“Who arewe kidding? Elec-tronic or non-electronic, ciga-rettes promote bad habits andbad health. Let’s ban all ciga-rettes and have a healthiercountryandbetterair forall ofus.

“Then, let’s ban fast foodand soft drinks and maybewe’d all be thinner and ourchildren wouldn’t be learninganother bad habit from theadults in their lives.

“While we’re at it, let’s putall the drug pushers behindbars and stop drugs from en-tering the United States, thenwewouldn’thave toreadaboutanymore people dying of drugoverdoses.

“That would be my plan.”E.E.C.

“I have mixed feelings

about bans on any products ofthis type. The ban (Prohibi-tion) of alcohol didn’t work, itonly increased crime andfilled prisons. The ‘war ondrugs’ has had the same re-sults, only on a much largerscale.

“While I doubt that a partialban (age and product type) one-cigarettes would ever reach

that 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 (youhave the right tobe stupid).

“Thebestwecando is try toeducate our children as earlyin their life as possible and set

a good example ourselves. Ifthe parents have these prod-ucts in the home there is astrong chance the childrenwill try them.”

T.H.C.

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

April 23 questionHow could the federal gov-

ernment have better handledthestandoffwithNevada ranch-er Cliven Bundy?

“How could you have askedthe question in a less slantedmanner? How could Mr. Bun-dy have followed the law in-stead of continually breakingthe law and threatening vio-lence? Your bias is disappoint-ing.”

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

Momwas traditional inmany ways except whenit came to clothes. Shewas the first on our blockto wear petal pushers (wecall them Capris now).Not so much becausethey were fashionable,but because they werecomfortable. I’m a little

bit like myMom inthat re-spect.

I likebeing fash-ionable,but com-forttrumpsfashionevery time.Luckily,

with the assortment ofclothing today, I can beboth.

When it came to food,Momwas “out there”, aswell. We ate squid when itwas just called squid, notCalamari and we atewhatever was in season.Her meager budget de-manded it. She had theMediterranean diet downpat, and as a mother my-self, I appreciate moreandmore all the wisdomshe imparted.

I’ve learned that onecan be aMomwithoutever bearing children.My sister, Judy, is a goodexample of this. She hasbeen like aMom to ournieces and nephews. Sofor all theMoms outthere, biological or other-wise, the happiest ofMother’s Day to you!

Pastry shopPavlova/Meringues

Now this would be anelegant, yet fairly easy,

dessert forMom.8 extra large egg

whites, room temper-ature

1 teaspoon cream oftartar

1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups granulated

sugar1 tablespoon vanillaPreheat oven to 175-

200. Line baking sheetswith parchment.

Beat egg whites, usinglow speed until whites areloose and foamy. Addcream of tartar and saltand increase speed tomedium. Beat untilwhites stand in soft butfrothy peaks. Turn to highand add sugar, about 2tablespoons at a time,beating for 5 secondsafter each addition. Thisassures sugars dissolvesandmeringues come outcrispy, not too chewy. Themeringue will be shinyand will fall into firmpeaks when beater islifted. Place meringueinto a pastry bag withstar or plain tip and drawa circle, starting frommiddle out. This will beyour base. You canmakethe circle as big as youlike. Then build up sides,about 3 layers. Or just

plop a large dollop ofmeringue onto parchmentand then take a spoon tohollow out center, makingsure you still have a nicecoating of meringue onthe bottom in center.

Bake 2 hours, or untilmeringues are dry andcrisp throughout. Pullfrom parchment paperand store up to two weeksin airtight containers. Fillwith whipped cream andfresh fruit. You can alsofill with lemon curd, pud-ding, whatever.

Makes two large Pa-vlovas or 2-3 dozen smallones.

Jack’s chocolatecoveredstrawberries forMom

My grandson, Jack,invited me to read to hissecond grade class atGuardian Angels’ school.“If you like, bring in atreat”, his mom, Jessie,said. The only thing I had

on hand was strawberriesand chocolate, so I madechocolate dipped straw-berries. Talk about a hit.The kids wanted to knowhow to make them. I toldthem I’d publish the reci-pe for them tomake, andhere it is. Easy enoughfor Jack and other littlehands to make forMom.

1 pound strawberrieswith stems

12 oz. favorite choco-late morsels

Although they don’tsound very professional,callers from overseasare upsetting a lot ofarea people by claimingthey are with the In-ternal Revenue Serviceand threatening themwith jail time for unpaidtaxes. The IRS says thiscrime is continuing na-tionwide even though thetax deadline has passed.

A woman in Bethelwrote me saying she’sbeen, “Receiving severalphone calls a day fromsomeone wanting tospeak to my husband.

The onetime that Ianswereda foreignsoundingman askedif I wasTom. WhenI said no hesaid he hadthe wrongnumber

and hung up. Since then Ihave ignored the callsand today he left threemessages on our voice-mail saying he was withthe IRS and threateningus if we did not respond.”

I listened to one ofthose voicemails and thecaller said, “I am in-forming you that we’restarting a tax fraud caseagainst you.” Clearly, it isenough to scare anyonebut the woman said, “Iknow I am smart enoughto not get upset or be-lieve this stuff but I seetoo many times on thenews senior citizensfalling for this stuff.”

In leaving the voice-mail message the calleralso left a phone numberto call back. I checkedthat number on the in-

ternet and found lots ofother people have re-ceived these same callsfrom a man threateningthem with arrest for taxfraud.

I too received one ofthese calls from a for-eign sounding man whoclaimed an arrest war-rant had been issued formy wife for unpaid tax-es. I said, “Fine, I’m turn-ing on my recorder so Iam sure to get every-thing correctly.” He veryquickly hung up.

The IRS says its re-ceived reports of these

callers being particularlyaggressive in the pastfewmonths. It says,“Immigrants are fre-quently targeted. Poten-tial victims are threat-ened with deportation,arrest, having their util-ities shut off, or havingtheir driver’s licensesrevoked. Callers arefrequently insulting orhostile – apparently toscare their potentialvictims.”

After threateningvictims sometimes thescammers hang up andthen have others callback pretending to befrom the local police orDepartment of MotorVehicles.

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

The IRS says if youget a phone call fromsomeone claiming to befrom the IRS, and youknow you don’t owe taxesor have no reason to

think you owe taxes, thenreport the call to theTreasury Inspector Gen-eral for Tax Administra-tion at 800-366-4484.

If you know you owetaxes or think you mightowe taxes, call the IRSdirectly at 800-829-1040.The IRS employees atthat line can help with apayment issue – if therereally is such an issue.

Incidentally, the IRSsays it never initiatescontact with taxpayersby email to request per-sonal or financial in-formation. It never sendstext messages or usessocial media channels. Itwill never ask for PINs,passwords or similarconfidential access in-formation for creditcard, bank or other fi-nancial accounts.

Rabbi George (Ger-shom) Barnard is thelongest serving congre-gational rabbi in Cincin-nati with 39 years of ser-vice to theNorthernHillsSynagogue-Congrega-tion B’nai Avraham andthe Cincinnati communi-ty.

Barnard was born andraised in the Boston area.He graduated in 1969from Harvard Univer-sity with a bachelor ofarts in philosophy, sum-ma cum laude. Later thatyear, Barnard enteredthe Hebrew Union Col-lege-Jewish Institute ofReligion in New York. In1971, he studied Jewishphilosophy at the He-brew University in Jeru-salem. He received hismaster of arts in Hebrewletters in1974 andwasor-dained in 1975. In 1982,Barnard received hismaster in education fromthe University of Cincin-nati.

After a lengthy inter-view process, Barnardaccepted the pulpit atNorthern Hills Syna-gogue-CongregationB’nai Avraham. The yearwas 1975 and the Rabbiand his wife, Sarah,whom he met in Israel,came to Cincinnati.“When I came to North-ern Hills Synagogue-Congregation B’nai Av-raham I had no expecta-tion of staying for morethan a few years, butthings turned out differ-ently, and I am deeplypleased at that,” Barnardsaid.

The Barnards haveraised their three chil-dren, Noam, Miriam andRyvka, in Cincinnati.

Barnard is a memberof the Rabbinic Assem-bly, the National Rabbin-ic Cabinet of the UnitedJewish Communities andthe Greater CincinnatiBoard of Rabbis. In theyears 1983-1985 and 2001-2003 Barnard served aspresident of the GreaterCincinnati Board of Rab-bis.

Through the 39 years

of the rab-bi’s servicehe has re-ceived thefollowingawards: in1987, theFreedomAward byState of Is-

rael Bonds; in 2000, theRabbi was awarded thedegree of Doctor of Di-vinity honoris causa byHebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Reli-gion; 2001 was the yearBarnard was honored bythe Jewish TheologicalSeminary of Americawith an honorary Doctor-ate.

Two noteworthyevents in Barnard’s 39years at Northern HillsSynagogue-Congrega-tion B’nai Avraham arethe embracing of equalrights and responsibil-ities for both men andwomen in Synagoguepractices and the reloca-tion of the Congregationin 2004 from SpringfieldTownship to DeerfieldTownship.

Barnard has taught intheMercazHebrewHighSchool for most of itsyears of existence thusinfluencing the upcom-ing generation of Jewishleaders. After his retire-ment, Barnard hopes toremain involved in theCincinnati Jewish com-munity and in the field ofeducation.

Barnard will be hon-ored by his Congregationat 7 p.m. Sunday, May 11,at Northern Hills Syna-gogue-CongregationB’nai Avraham with atribute tohisyearsof ser-vice to the Synagogueand the Greater Cincin-nati community. The eve-ning will feature goodfood, greatmusic, and re-membrances of Bar-nard’s 39 years at North-ern Hills Synagogue-Congregation B’nai Av-raham.
