Symmes candidates state prioritiesSymmes Township voters
have two races to decide onElection Day in November.
Two trustee seats are up forelection, as is the fiscal
officerposition. Both Ken Bryant andJodie Leis are seeking
re-elec-tion for trustee, and Carol Simsis looking to keep the
office shewas appointed to when JohnBorchers retired earlier
thisyear. Challenging Bryant andLeis is former Trustee Eric
Mi-namyer, and Vince Wallace islooking to take Simss place.
Trustee candidates all focuson the townships sidewalk plan.Both
Leis and Bryant said itsimportant to continue building
sidewalks in areas that needthem. Bryant also said that
thetownships finances need to beconsidered.
(The loss of funding) creat-ed a hole for us, as well as
othermunicipalities, but theresnore-placement vehicle to get
itback, he said.
He added that lower proper-ty values and funding elimina-tions
forced cuts and a lower
budget, so the township has tooperate with less money whilestill
maintaining the same ser-vices residents are used to hav-ing
available to them.
Minamyer, however, said thetownship has spent frivolouslyand
that someof thatneeds tobere-evaluated.
It seems no one has beenwatching the bottom line and(running)
the township inabusi-
ness-like manner, he said. Ithink I can contribute on that.
Aside from fiscal responsi-bility, he added that the
trusteesneed to stay engaged with theirconstituents and better
analyzehow the townshipsmoney is be-ing spent on a day-to-day
basis.
Leis said she hopes to keepthe township run in a fiscally
re-sponsible way, while not raisingtaxes andmaintaining
services.
Its a huge goal to keep thebudgetstrongandsafe,hesaid.Were
trying not to raise tax-es.
Leis also said that aside fromhaving less money to work within
the township, she still feelsthat Symmes is strong andthriving.
Sims, who worked as the as-
sistant fiscal officer before be-ing appointed, said its a
priorityfor her to be able to plan for thesame level of services
with lessmoney.
The trustees have to vote onthe decision-making, all I havetodo
ismakesure its financiallyresponsible, she said. My re-sponsibility
is to help the trust-ees understand the funds avail-able and the
best way to spendthose funds.
She added that its also herjob to make sure taxpayersmoney is
spent theway itwasal-located, whether that is throughthe general
fund, specific leviesor other ways.
Wallace didnt respond to re-quests for comment by presstime.

Candidates for the IndianHill school board are bracingfor
change.
A number of the candi-dates are considering the im-pact of
state-mandated curri-culum requirements in con-junction with a
challengingeconomy.
Among the candidates forthe Indian Hill Exempted Vil-lage Board
of Education arethree incumbents and a for-mer medical adviser for
thedistrict.
Eddie Hooker helped setup an emergency responseplan for the
Indian Hillschools about a decade ago.He is currently a teacher
ofclinical medicine at XavierUniversity and a physician inthe
schools Health Center.
Wehave toalwaysbeeval-uating how we can be better,said Hooker
regarding how toimprove student education.
The district is already do-ing a great job, Hooker said.However,
he said it is impor-tant to monitor potentialweaknesses and develop
solu-tions.
Karl Grafe has served onthe school board four yearsand is
currently president ofthe board.
Grafe said a broad studenteducation is essential.
It is important that wecontinue to provide the high-est level of
academic opportu-nities, including course offer-ings that enable
students toreach further than their com-fort zone, he said.
Elizabeth Johnston hasserved on the board for eightyears.
Johnston said her ap-proach toeducation is thatonesize doesnt
necessarily fit all,
especially in re-gard to state re-port card evalu-ations.
She said it isimportant tomaximize thelearning poten-tial of
each stu-dent to preparethem for the21st century.
The IndianHill school dis-trict educates ata level
signifi-cantly higherthan statebenchmarks,she said.
Kim Lewishas served onthe board sinceJanuary 2010and is
currentlyvice presidentof the schoolboard.
Lewis saidthe most impor-tant componentof a studentseducation
isthe quality ofthe educationand the depth ofthe
mentoringrelationshipsbetween stu-dents and teach-
ers and students and adminis-trators.
The candidates said fund-ing and the new CommonCore Standards
regardingcurriculum are among thebiggest challenges facing
thedistrict.
Hooker said he has con-cerns about what could poten-tially be a
very rigid curricu-lum mandated by the state.

MONTGOMERY TheMontgomery City Coun-cil approved its annualtax
budget and all signspoint to a good fiscal pic-ture for city
officials.
The budget presentedby Kelly Beach hasMontgomerys expensesabout
$319,000 less thanits expected $9.3 millionof revenue. The
budget-
ary overage exists de-spite a 50-percent reduc-tion in Ohios
Local Gov-ernment Fund and a re-peal of the estate tax
thatdelivered an average of$1.5 million over the lastfour years,
according tothe report.
Obviously this is a re-quirement we have to doevery year, Mayor
KenSuer said. But onceagain ... goodwork by thefinance department
andit does take, Im sure,some time to get all ofthis
coordinated.
The Montgomery FireDepartment is expectedto be more than
$200,000over its revenue fromthefire levy, but because ofpast
savings is still ex-pected to have a cash bal-
ance ofmore than$3.7 mil-lion.
Backon the firelevy, its anamazingjob youguys have
done on that fire levy,Suer said. Its just greatthe way its been
utilizedover a long period oftime.
The levy passed in1999 and Fire Chief PaulWright said he had
origi-nally hoped the depart-ment wouldnt have to
ask for an update to themillage until 2009, butbecause he and
his staffhave managed costs, heexpects it to remain thesame until
2016 or 2016.
The department is to-tally funded out of thelevy, Wright said.
Nogeneral funds go to thedepartment and the levystays at the same
rateswith a rollback if its nec-essary.

SYCAMORE JUNIOR HIGHHONOR ROLL
On a recent spring day, stu-dents at St. Ursula Academyenjoyed
thesitesofEdenPark,focused on wellness activitieswhich promote a
healthy life-style, andraisedmoney toben-efit the entire student
body atSUA.
The day began on the cam-pus of St. Ursula Academywith students
competing inField Day activities. Studentsparticipated in events
whichincluded sit ups, pushups,jump roping, obstacle coursesand
relays which all fell underthe St. Ursula Strong themeof the
day.
Although the goal of this
portionof thedaywasphysicalwellness, many laughs wereshared by
all the students.
After awards were given tothe winners in each Field Daycategory,
the students beganthe SUA Walk portion of theday.
Along the two-mile walkthrough the neighborhood,
thestudentswereable to smell thespring blooms of Eden Park,see the
beautiful architecturein Mt. Adams, and finally en-joy popsicles
and music in theSeasongood Pavilion.
This year, 32 students wereinvolved in the committee thatplanned
the events of the day.
Because so many studentswere involved in the planning,they
brought a greater aware-ness to the goal of the walk, toraise money
for the studentsof SUA, said Courtney Rag-land, who headed the walk
ef-fort.
This is evidenced by the$34,500 check that the com-mittee
presented to the stu-dents, a number that exceededtheir original
goal of $32,000.
Although the Walk andField Day are much anticipat-edevents for
thestudentseachyear, the added focus on well-ness and fundraising
makesthe events evenmore special.

Sycamore goes full STEAM aheadto prepare for new school year
Mor than 100 SycamoreCommunity Schoolsstaff members
partici-pated in a summer STEAM Insti-tute at Sycamore Junior
HighSchool, a cross-disciplinary ap-proach to education devoted to
sci-ence, technology, engineering, artsand mathematics.
We like to bring high-qualityprofessional development to
ourteachers in the summer because itis the perfect time for them to
re-flect on the past school year andthinkabouthowtheywant
torefinetheirpractices in thecomingyear,said Ann Marie Reinke,
assistantdirector of academic affairs.
The two-day seminar, FullSTEAM Ahead, Leading andLearning in the
21st Century, wasan idea generated by SycamoresSTEAM Council, a
55-memberteam of administrators and teach-ers led by Reinke devoted
to pro-moting innovation across all sub-jects.
One of our goals is to designcompelling programming for
stu-dents that integrates the four Csof STEAM: creativity,
collabora-tion, critical thinking and commu-nication, Reinke
said.
Weworkedwith theUniversityof Cincinnati to develop sessionsand
invited speakers for this semi-nar that would be valuable
forteachers at all grade levels.We areencouraged that from these
ef-forts, we are seeing STEAM pro-gramming at every level of
ourschool system. We value this be-cause STEAMplays a role in
shap-ing our students lives and futurecareers.
Partly funded by grant monies,the remaining costs of the
seminarwere split with Mason CitySchools, who also attended

SYCAMORE TWP. With theirconditioning and youngmetabo-lism,
distance runners probablyeat more than you would
think.Replenishment is key to anysuccessful athlete.
Its also key to SycamoreHigh Schools success.
Make nomistake, this is not adissertation on diet.
Sycamores feeding is fo-cused on its highly successfulmiddle
school program provid-ing the high school Aviatorswith more
trailblazing talent.The recipient of the fleet fresh-man feet and
savvy sophomoresis second-year boys coach JohnBenham.
We are very young, Ben-ham said. Were led by sopho-more Ray
Berling and right be-hind him is senior Jacob Belch-er. The two of
themhave broken16:20 and looking pretty good.
Behind senior Belcher arethree juniors, four sophomoresand three
freshmen.
We have three of them(freshmen) in our top10 and twoof them on
our varsity team,Benham said.
FreshmanMilesMenyhert isSycamores third-best runnerand is among
the top 20 in theGreaterMiamiConference. Fel-low freshmen Kevin
Lawsonwas 22nd at presstime andNoahDarwiche was in the top 50.
A few seconds behind Ber-ling is his sophomore
classmate,KyriaGraveswhoalso isatop20runner. Tenth-graders
MartinGonzalez and Mitch Singstockare 34th and 43rd,
respectively.
The junior class has WillSchrantz in the top 20 with
Ri-cardoOreilianaandAdamLuck-en in the top 50.
Theyre getting real fo-cused, Benham said. We havebeen focusing
on running as apack and theyve been doingreal well this season.
In September, the green andgold Aves were disguised as apurple
pack. Not to be confusedwithElder, Benhamhad his run-ners
rideviolet tovictory in sup-port of Alzheimers research
allmonth.
He even sported a purplebowtie at meets and practices.
In practice, bowtie and all,Benham will often pedal a bicy-cle
alongside his crew shoutingout splits and verbal
encourage-ment.
A recent practice involvedmile repeats alternating on thetrack
and the spacious fieldsalong Cornell Road by the highschool. The
Aves work on pac-ing.
The hope is to do somethingspecial this year that theyhavent
done before, Benhamsaid. Its always difficult in thisregion. If we
can run well andget out of districts again, thatwould be great.

This summer, two Cin-cinnati natives represent-ed the United
States at anelite international tourna-ment.
Itwasnt theWorldCuportheSummerOlympicsit was theWorld Under
23Ultimate Championshipsin Toronto.
Ultimate Frisbee, orUltimate for short, is aself-refereed,
non-contactsport. Two teams competeon a 70-yard by 40-yardfield
with 20-yard endzones.
Much like football,teams advance the disc upthe field to
scorebycatch-ing it in theopponents endzone.Unlike football, oncea
player has the disc in hishands, he cannot run withit.
Ultimate has beensteadily growing in popu-larity across the
nation atall levels. Middle schools,highschools, colleges,
andcommunities have adopt-ed this sport as a newway
for physical activity andmeeting new people. Cin-cinnati has
seen a growthin itsUltimate communityand is now home to
theRevolution, an AmericanUltimateDiscLeaguepro-fessional team.
Bethany Kaylor, 20, ofWest Chester, and PaigeSoper, 22, of
Madeira,were selected to repre-sent the United States atthe highest
level of Ulti-mate for their age group.Both women had to applyto
try out and competeagainst hundreds of otherAmericanU-23womenfora
place on the teams.
Soper was selected toplay on the womens teamand Kaylor played on
themixed-gender team. Bothteams, along with a mensteam,
competedagainst16represented nations toplace first, bringing
homethree gold medals to theU.S. Ultimate community.
Kaylor and Soper havebecome elite womens Ul-timate players, but
eachtook very different routesto get to this level.
Kaylor, a 2011UrsulineAcademy graduate, owesit to her
dad,MikeKaylor,for her involvement inUl-timate. Mike started
theUltimate team at the Uni-versity of Dayton in 1988.Hecontinues
toplay in thecommunity, as well ascoach the Mount NotreDame-Moeller
highschool team.
Kaylor started playingwith MND-Moeller in2007 when her
fatherasked for her help whenhe was short on girls.
In moments of pubes-cent defiance, I even toldmy father that I
wouldnever play Ultimate, thatit was dumb. Things obvi-ously
changed, said Kay-lor.
She fell in lovewith thesport and has not lookedback. This year,
her col-lege team, Oregon Fugue,won the USA UltimateCollege
Championship.

A publication of
An old quote that means a lot todayAbout 2,400 years ago,
the
Greek playwright Agathonwrote, Only this is denied tothe Gods,
the ability to changethe past.
I know of no surviving ele-ments of his plays, but theimportance
of the quote hasintrigued me for years. Inthese times it bears
seriousthought.
For those who are not famil-iar with Greek theater, let megive
you a few tips. The playswere short and carried a mes-sage almost
like a sermon.They usually presented a seri-ous problem, but not an
an-swer. This was to be discussedas the viewers walked homefrom the
performance. As thegroup reached a crossroad
they stoppedin order tocontinue thediscussion.This led to
acommon wordof today, trivia,meaning threeways.
The Godshad humanattributes and
often human failings so thatmortals could relate to
them.Tragedies were generallyabout personal faults and com-edies
tended toward societalfailings. If you read some ofthese plays, you
will find thatthey can be presented as pre-sent day problems.
Lysistrata (cleansing of
strife) is an antiwar playwhere the women of Greece goon a sex
strike to make themen quit going to war. Is oftenpresented in a
modern format.
As Albert Einstein noted,humanity has not changed, butwe create
mass technology todo harm to others. Sadly, wecontinue our tendency
to do so.
I think the major part ofthat problem is that we tend tobe very
intensely partial to ourown social sub groups. We tendto view
others with extremedisfavor at the worst or withguarded acceptance
at best.
I have been fortunate tohave traveled among manyvery diverse
groups. Instead ofdismissing them as strange orunequal, I have
tried to un-
derstand and accept them forwhat makes their societyunique. In
this way I learn andappreciate my new found in-terests. The
similarities tend tobe instructive of humanity.
Old hostilities lasting forcenturies are not forgiven, butoften
intensified to the disad-vantage of all. They are mostly,but not
all, toward other racesor religions. Even worse is theprejudice
that seeps out ofthese hatreds and causes oth-ers to make poor
judgements.Those only add to the problemsof humanity.
Lately, government formsseem to add to the problems.Somemay feel
that they causediscrimination. I have a pri-vate joke to let you in
on. When
I get one of these forms, in thespace for race, I put human.For
religion, I enter yes. Youmight imagine what I enter forsex if I am
in a whimsicalmood!
Now we go back to Agathon.We cannot reverse the wrongsthat all
of us have committedduring our lives. It matters nothowminor they
may havebeen. The resentment becomescumulative so that somemayfeel
the result of age-oldwrongs. In this era of bitter-ness over
religion, race ornationality it is time for hu-manity to overcome
the cult offeigned superiority.

A couple of months ago, Iwas traveling east in Blue Ashon
Glendale-Milford Road,near the intersection of
ReedHartmanHighway.
I was running late for adoctors appointment, whensuddenly cars
ahead of mewere braking in an apparentslow down as a result of
sometype of traffic roadblockahead. The cars came to acomplete
stop. Rolling mywindows down, I could beginhearing resonant bird
soundsechoed with car horns.
After observing a fewmin-utes frommy vantage point, Icame to the
conclusion thatthe matter at hand was defi-nitely a flock of
Canadiangeese with their rowdy, bois-terous sounds of honk,
honk,andmore honks. They hadsettled in the middle of theroad
blocking traffic.
As I just sat there gettingstressed out,all of the suddenit hit
me that just maybe...th-ats rightjust maybeIcould actually do
something tohelp solve the problem athand!
Actually I surprised myselfby opening the drivers cardoor,
getting out of the car,and starting to walk amongthe maze of
automobiles to-wards the sounds of the geese.I quickly observed the
situa-tions complexity: thirty-eightbrave Canadian geese
at-tempting to cross a doublehighway in single file! Andyes, I was
counting them,similar to when you were ayoung kid, bored sitting in
theback seat waiting for a train ata gate crossing, counting
traincars. With trains, things arepretty much guaranteed in
thesense of direction theyretravelingwith geese, not somuch.
The lead bird group in frontof me suddenly just stoppedwith
about 15 geese alreadystretched across the four-lanehighway. I
gathered that thefirst goose was the one incharge and had decided
that itmaybe was a good time to talkthings over with his
troops.
Well you canguess thatbusy Amer-ican drivershad no timefor
indecisivegeese andsoonmore carhorns were infull bloomblasting,
whiledrivers yelled
not-so-kind remarks toMotherNatures National Geograph-ic Webfeet
Exploration on theAmerican Road.
he out of box part of medecided that if I offer reas-suring
Smoky The Bearguidance to these befuddled,confused, stressed out
geese,that I might be able to inspirethem to advance in one
direc-tion or the other, off the dan-gerous double lane
highway.
I came usingmy best geesetraffic handmovements andemitted all
the translatedhissing geese phonics sounds Icould muster.
At first they just pausedand scrutinized me, not surewhat this
guy with his strangewaterfowl sound effects wasaspiring them to do.
The headgoose miraculously respondedandmarched his lead groupback
in a very slow, deliber-ate, goose single file to a greenbelt area
where all 38 hadbeen nesting.
This was definitely a yesmoment, a two arms up timeas I figured
I had just saved awhole Southwest Ohio GeeseHomeland Community
frombeing goose dinners! After-wards I hurried through themaze of
vehicle lines thatwere starting to slowly moveforward, intensely
trying toavoid getting hit myself. Ifinally returned to my car.But,
while passing other carsonmyway back to mine, sev-eral of the
drivers cheeredmyherding efforts, some evenapplaudedmy endeavors
andloving the gratification, I tooka curtsy!

Essential to keep SimsThe role of the Symmes
Township fiscal officer is not apart time job. More
important-ly, is not a job for someone whojust shows up for
meetings.
I've had the pleasure ofknowing and working with Car-ol Sims for
almost 20 years.
In 1994 I was appointed as afounding member of theSymmes
Township FinanceCommittee. It was immediatelyclear that Carol had
an intricate
working knowledge of theTownship budget and financialissues. She
readily recalled de-tails during our meetings andhelped guide us
through the de-velopment of budgetary priori-ties.
Carol's expertise didn't stopwith the township's budget
andfiscal issues. In 1998 I was ap-pointed to the Board of
ZoningAppeals and found that Carolwas equally familiar with zon-ing
issues and regulations.
Carol is a hard worker who
rolls up her sleeves andgets thejob done. She is persistent
andthorough, has a keen eye for de-tail and knows how to
interactwith residents for the publicgood.
Keeping Carol Sims as theSymmes Township fiscal offi-cer is
essential. She has the ex-perience and knowledge, and isextremely
well qualified to car-ryon thedaily tasksof the fiscalofficer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sept. 25 questionShould college athletes be
paid? If so, now much? If not,why not?
College athletes should re-ceive scholarships and sti-pends for
play.A largepercent-age of players come from low-income families
that cannot fi-nancially support the athletes.
The scholarships do not in-clude extramoney for daily
ex-penses.Asa result, a numberofplayers in recent
timeshavere-sorted to selling awards, auto-graphs and accepting
cars andother favors because they haveno money.
I do appreciate that com-mon sense and good judgmentalso play a
role. However, howmany readers of the could sur-vive on no
income?
We all know that athletescannot not get jobs duringschool due to
the demands ontheir schedules for training,practice and playing
locallyand across country and thentheres studying, attendingclasses
and homework.
Come on, we all enjoywatching themperformand es-pecially
winning. Lets pay ourcollege athletes!
E.E.C.
Yes, I believe athletes whoare requested to spend a stipu-lated
number of days each yearoncampusor at a facilitydesig-nated for
athletic games/train-ing should be paid a stipend fortheir time.
The stipend shouldbe uniform for each sport anddesigned to cover
expenses notpaid by the college/university.
Todays athletes in somesports do not have summers tothemselves
during which theycan earn extra spending mon-ey. Many are from
homeswheremoney is in short supply.This stipend should cover
rec-reation, food and, books whichare not furnished by
theirschool.
As a non-athlete attending
college from a poor home I re-membermanydayswhere I
ex-istedononecandybarall day inorder to have bus fare for mytrip
home. I can understandwhy some kids are forced tosell their jerseys
inorder topayfor a weekend date.
Sure, they get a free educa-tion that others pay dearly for,but
their life should not be thatof a total drudger. And, need Imention
the money they bringin at some schools.
Because some schools losemoney on athletics, to pay ornot pay
should be voluntaryand the amount set by theNCAA or other
governingsports organization to whichthe school belongs.
T.J.
College athletes gettingpaid for field/court perfor-mances?
Nope!
This is part of their educa-tional experience and if
anycompensation is granted thatmoves into the professionallevel,
and the pricing of a col-lege game or event would becost
prohibitive as it is nowwith professional sports.
Maybe a reduction on theirtuitionmaybe, but not
compen-sation!
