Some residents in Finney-town and Pleasant Run Farmswill see repairs to their streetsthanks to almost $1 million instate dollars.

Springfield Township offi-cials say they will receive$910,000 in grant fundingfrom the State Capital Im-provement Program. Thesefunds will be supplementedby a dollar-for-dollar matchfrom the township for the re-construction of roads and in-frastructure on HempsteadDrive and Melody Lane in Fin-neytown and Deerhorn Drivenorth of Elkwood Drive, Fall-brook Lane and FullertonDrive west of Elkwood Drivein Pleasant Run Farms.

With the township’s invest-ment and the state’s grant sup-port, more than $2 million willbe invested into SpringfieldTownship neighborhoods, ac-cording to Springfield Town-ship projects, events and com-munications coordinator KimFlamm said. She said thematching funds will be allo-cated from the current roadlevy, which generates about$550,000 annually, and gener-al fund dollars received fromthe Joint Economic Develop-ment Zone passed by voters in2014.

Springfield Township Trus-tee Joe Honerlaw said thetownship has been successfulin receiving SCIP grants;about $3.1 million dollars inSCIP grant funds over thepast eight years has ended upin the township.

“This is Springfield Town-ship’s largest grant award inthe history of the SCIP appli-cation program”, he said.“SCIP grants allow the town-ship to extend its limited roadfunding.”

Flamm said SpringfieldTownship submitted four ofthe 80 applications within Dis-trict 2, which is the HamiltonCounty area. The Hempstead/Melody Lane project wasranked second in the districtand the Pleasant Run Farmsproject was ranked 10th.Based on available fundingfor District 2, the top 14 pro-jects will receive support this

year. The township also ap-plied for funds to rehab MariaAvenue and Briarrose Courtin the Burlington Meadowssubdivision and Lux Avenueand Beechridge Drive in theGlen Forest subdivision, butthose projects didn’t make thecut this year.

The State Capital Improve-ment Program was created in1987 to help local govern-ments such as counties, cities,villages, townships, water andsanitary districts fund capitalimprovement projects. Theprogram awards annualgrants through a competitiveapplication and review proc-ess. This year, about 80 appli-cations for projects were sub-mitted by communities withinDistrict 2 for funding throughSCIP.

Flamm said one importantfactor in the township’s suc-cess with SCIP is the board oftrustees’ willingness to pro-vide a 50 percent match to thetotal project cost for each ap-plication submitted. This isone of the components whendetermining the overall scoreand final ranking during thereview process.

Springfield Township willreceive the money at the endof the 2016 construction sea-son and work will begin in thespring of 2017.

Springfield Twp.gets state grantsfor road repairsJennie [email protected]

JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Reconstruction of HempsteadDrive in Finneytown and severalother streets is coming, thanksto state funds being doled out in2016.

Springfield Township offi-cials are continuing their discus-sion about development in thetownship’s core district, butsome residents say they didn’tknow there was a conversationgoing on.

A controversy is brewingover the development of the 42-acre Warder Nursery property,identified on the township’s mas-ter plan for mixed use develop-ment in the core district. Theproperty is south of Finney Trail,east of Winton Road near Whit-aker Elementary and north ofNorth Bend Road. Township offi-cials heard from a group of resi-dents whose homes abut theWarder Nursery at a recenttownship meeting and “KeepWarder Live” signs have startedpopping up in some areas of thetownship.

The core district, as definedby the township’s Comprehen-sive Neighborhood Master Plan,is an area located between Gal-braith, Winton and North Bendroads in Springfield Township. Itincludes the 42-acre WarderNursery Property, which thetownship bought from Cincin-

nati in 2000.Initially, the township

planned to develop the area as apark, but that was financially notfeasible, said Mike Hinnen-kamp, Springfield Township ad-ministrator. A stalling economyand the loss of local governmentfunds from the state meant the

township backed away frombuilding a multi-million-dollarpark.

Following two years of meet-ings that started in 2009, the areawas defined by the plan as thetownship’s greatest opportunity

for growth and was recom-mended for a mixed-usedevelopment. At the half-way point of the process,the township hired the ur-ban design firm KKG tohelp in the analysis of mar-ket conditions and in thedevelopment of specificneighborhood land use andredevelopment plans. Thefinal plan was unveiled forthe public at the State ofthe Township address inFebruary, 2011. The town-ship’s ComprehensiveNeighborhood Master

Plan was formally adoptedby trustees in May 2011, af-ter public hearings withadditional public input.

The township enteredinto an agreement earlierthis year with the St. Fran-cis Group, a Cincinnati-based development firm,to prepare preliminaryconcept plans. Concernsfrom some residents fol-lowing the demolition of avacant house on propertyadjoining the Warderproperty raised questions,and the township decidedto push up a planned meet-ing to look at concept plansto encourage residents toask questions and givefeedback.

That meeting is set for 7p.m. Monday, Dec. 14, atThe Grove Banquet andEvents Center, 9150 Win-ton Road. During the pub-lic meeting there will be apresentation of the site’shistory, the communitymaster planning process,and prior recommenda-tions from residents,Flamm said. “The concep-tual plans are designed asconversation starters togarner resident feed-back,” Flamm said. “Resi-dent input will be recordedand taken into considera-tion to modify or validatethe concepts presented.”

Township TrusteeMark Berning said thetownship wants to create a

mixed-use developmentthat includes preservationof green space, trees andthe existing ponds, andwill offer the public betteraccess to amenities of thissite.

“If done correctly, thiswill be something that theentire community will beproud of,” he said. “Thisproject has great potentialto become the catalyst forfuture redevelopment andrevitalization along theWinton and GalbraithRoad corridors.

David Hughes, presi-dent of the Denier DriveStreet Association, askedif the demolition of struc-tures on property the

township owns on NorthBend Road was for the en-trance to the future War-der development. Town-ship officials said the dem-olition was because thestructures were vacantand in poor condition, andthe township doesn’t haveplans concrete enough tobe deciding where the en-trance will be. Hughessaid he’s been talking toresidents and they are fu-rious about plans to devel-op the park.

Trustee Joe Honerlawsaid fury from residents ispremature.

“We haven’t had an out-reach yet because there isnothing to reach out about.Once we get to the pointthat we have somethingconcrete that we can com-municate, we will. Waitand see,” he said. “Webought this property 15years ago. We were con-cerned and said let’s getcontrol of it and keep localcontrol. We would be look-ing at a development that’scomplementary to thehouses around it. It’s notfair to say the homesaround it want to look at itand see green space, sotherefore we would saywe’d never develop thateven though it might be areal asset to the townshipin the long run.”

Hinnenkamp said thetownship isn’t interestedin developing the propertyfor the sake of develop-ment.

“We’ve had offers,” hesaid. “It has to be the rightplan. It has to be catalytic.We want to do somethingspecial here, but the mar-ket has to support it. This isgoing to be important tothe future of the town-ship.”

Trustee Gwen McFar-lin said rumors causeproblems. “I believe themeeting on Dec. 14 willhelp address rumors,” shesaid. “Engaging everyoneis critical and getting feed-back and addressing con-cerns is also critical.”

“You all have one toughjob,” said Scott Alsip, wholives on Ranchill Drive. “Iknow we are mostly resi-dential. I’m thinking weneed industry, somethingthat’s going to bring valueto the township. A lot ofpeople want parks. I’magainst that. We need jobsto come in. You have tolook at the big picture.”

WarderContinued from Page 1A

JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A group of residents whowant to stop developmenton the Warder property inSpringfield Township havestarted a campaign andsigns are popping up urgingthe township to “KeepWarder Wild.”

When emergencystrikes at school, teach-ers and other staff mustact quickly to keep theirstudents safe.

Winton Woods SchoolDistrict has bought aplan that makes that in-formation mobile, put-ting emergency protocolin the cloud, instead ofrelying on traditional pa-per copies.

The district has sub-scribed to NaviGate Pre-pared, which makesemergency plans avail-able to teachers, staffand administrators, aswell as first respondersthrough an online app.

It also includes drilllogs and a mobile app,which will help the dis-trict to comply withOhio’s required annualreview of emergencytraining drills. The appprovides access to Win-ton Woods’ emergencyand crisis plans, accessi-ble to administrators,teachers and staff, evenwithout Internet connec-tion.

That means if anemergency takes placewhen a class is outsidethe building, the teacherhas access to emergencyprotocol through a mo-bile phone.

First responders willalso have access to criti-cal information.

“There are 360 photosto better understand thearea you have to dealwith actually looks like,”Steve Denny, executive

director of business af-fairs for Winton Woodsschools, said. “If we everhad a bad situation in theschool you could literallysee what the area lookslike with that applica-tion.

“You might be awayfrom your copy of yourschool’s emergency man-agement plan at an inop-portune time, but you’relikely never far fromyour mobile phone,”Denny said. “This sys-tem is a great comple-ment to the many schoolsafety and security pro-cedures and resourcesalready in place in ourschool district.”

The Ohio Departmentof Education’s schoolsafety plan statute, re-leased Jan. 5, includessubmission of a schoolsafety plan, floor plansthat are unique to eachbuilding floor, site plansof buildings and sur-rounding properties, andemergency contact in-formation sheets.

The Safety Plan Wiz-ard, part of the NaviGateapp, also lets administra-tors track and evaluatesafety plans from year toyear, ensuring they’recurrent and meet thestatute’s requirement forannual safety plan re-view.

NaviGate Prepared,developed by Ohio-basedLauren Innovations forK-12 schools, organizesemergency prepared-ness plans and informa-tion such as call lists, per-sonnel photos, buildingmaps, color-coded floor

plans, and 360-degreephotographs of impor-tant building areas likeemergency resources,hallways and rooms.

The program, whichcosts $3,000 annually, at$500 per building for thedistrict’s six buildings,covers hosting and techsupport.

“We have a ton of ac-cess to first responders,”Denny said. “In the eventof an emergency, they’re

really well-equipped.Even if they don’t knowthe building already,they have access to ex-actly what they need.

“It also provides 24/7access to staff of emer-gency planning informa-tion.”

Denny said WintonWoods is rolling out theapp to staff membersnow, and first respond-ers will begin training inDecember.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

LET’S CONNECT:

Sharon Coolidge has been a reporterfor The Enquirer for 13 years, coveringcourts, police, Hamilton County and nowthe City of Cincinnati. She reports with aneye on what the community cares aboutand what it needs to know about howcitizens’ taxpayer dollars are spent.

But it’s not just money. She cares aboutthe community and is the voice for thosewho don’t have one, whether they arethe children of Millvale, the victims ofviolence or families without homes.

An organized groupoperating out of Louis-ville could be behindcredit card skimmersfound in gas pumps inWest Chester and mostrecently in Forest Park,officials said.

The Hamilton CountyAuditor’s Office and For-est Park police found anddisabled a credit cardskimmer at a pumpThursday and the ButlerCounty Auditor’s Officefound two devices lastweek.

The skimmer discov-ered Thursday had beeninstalled inside a non-locking gasoline pump atthe Marathon gas stationat 1199 Smiley Ave., saidHamilton County Audi-tor Dusty Rhodes.

The skimmer, whichrecords consumers’credit card informationwhen they use the pump,was retrieved by ForestPark police. They areconducting forensictests on the skimmer andlooking at security tapesto further investigate.

No arrests weremade, Rhodes said, andits unclear how manycustomers’ informationwas jeopardized.

Inspections for skim-mers increased in recentdays after several caseswere reported in Colum-bus and in MontgomeryCounty, Rhodes said.

“The Forest Park po-lice alerted other agen-cies around town,”Rhodes said. “It’s defi-nitely a threat. We’redefinitely going to haveto be vigilant. We’ll bewatching like hawks.”

According to ForestPark police, people usingthe skimmers can re-motely access the creditcard information andmake fake credit cardsfrom their vehicle.

Skimming devicesare typically used to col-lect information for acouple hours. The infor-mation is then used bythieves to purchase giftcards in many cases,Rhodes said.

A Butler County in-spector found a skimmerlast week inside a pumpat the Marathon stationat 5677 West ChesterRoad. Another one wasfound at the Shell stationat 9370 Union CentreBoulevard.

According to WestChester Police, a steadyflow of reports of creditcard skimmers on gaspumps have been com-

ing in over the last yearor two.

Officials believe anorganized group is be-hind the skimmers foundin the region.

“The police intelli-gence we got is that itpossibly could be a groupout of Louisville, possi-bly Cubans,” LieutenantJeff Larsh with ForestPark police said.

According to Larsh,the thieves are using a U-Haul truck to block thepump from view. It takesless than two minutes toinsert the device into thelow-security pumps, hesaid.

There’s no way to de-tect the presence of askimmer from outsidethe pump, Rhodes said.

Larsh advised cos-tumers to go into thestore and pay, with cashif possible, and regularlymonitor credit card ac-tivity.

Independent-run andsmaller gas stations aremost susceptible toskimmers as they oftendo not have locking gaspump stations.

Drawn by smoke theycould see from their near-by fire station, Spring-field Township firefight-ers discovered a fire rag-ing at 9084 ArrowheadCourt and the body of awoman who died in theblaze.

The Hamilton CountyCoroner’s Office identi-fied the victim as LoreeWalmsley, 63. SpringfieldTownship Fire Chief RobLeininger said it’s likelythe woman died of carbonmonoxide poisoning, of-ten called smoke inhala-tion.

Leininger was one ofthe first to arrive at theNov. 24 fire. He said therewas heavy smoke andflames at the read of thehouse. Crews found Wam-sley’s body in a bedroomabout 30 feet from thearea that was burning,which was near the livingroom and den of the house,the chief said. Leiningerdid not know in which

room the fire originated,describing the house as“contemporary” with anunusual floor plan.

He said the house hadsmoke detectors, butcould not say whether ornot they were working atthe time of the fire.

Fire departments fromForest Park and Woo-dlawn, and an EMS unit

from Colerain Townshipassisted at the scene. Thechief said the HamiltonCounty Fire InvestigationUnit had been called to as-sist in determining thecause and point of originof the fire.

The fire caused$100,000 in damage to thehome and remains underinvestigation.

McAuley High School» McAuley students are fre-

quently acknowledged for theiracademic, service, and athleticaccomplishments at McAuleythroughout the year, but somestudents choose to pursue ex-cellence, not only at school, butaway from campus as well.

Freshman Brittney DiDo-menico, the daughter of Chris-tine Mullikin of Mount Healthy,is the Ohio High School pins ar-chery state champion. Inspiredby her uncle, she started com-peting in archery in May, andwon the championship in July atthe state competition. Mullikinnow owns two bows, a tradition-al one and a compound bow, andshe has learned to bow hunt. Sheintends to participate in a Ju-nior Olympic program in thespring and compete all summernext year.

Sisters Bailey (sophomore)and Kira Ritter (senior), daugh-ters of John and Amy Ritter ofHarrison, are members of theCincinnati Junior Rowing Club.In two of their most recentraces, the Columbus Fall Clas-sic and the Blake Haxton Regat-ta, their boats won first place.The sisters compete at differ-ent levels; Bailey is third varsi-ty and Kira is first varsity. Ded-icated to their sport, they prac-tice six days a week on the Lick-ing River. Kira has beenawarded a rowing scholarshipto Clemson University.

Senior Kendra Lang won$100 and a second-place ribbonin the Harvest Home Fair AdultArt Show. She entered a 14-inch-by-17-inch graphite and char-coal portrait of Kurt Cobain.Lang is the daughter of Markand Dianne Lang of MonfortHeights.

Freshman Bridgett Dillen-burger, who was diagnosed withscoliosis a few years ago, hasinitiated a support group forother girls dealing with thesame disease.

“My struggles inspired me tocreate a support group for othergirls like me,” she said. “It’s al-ways very difficult to gothrough something like this andI know that it is much easier ifyou have someone by your sidewho understands what it islike.”

She reached out to other teengirls and they meet at a local li-brary monthly to share with oneanother. Her group has the clev-er title of Scoliosisters, and shehas an Instagram account andbusiness cards at CincinnatiChildren’s for other patients.Dillenburger will undergo a spi-nal fusion surgery later thismonth. She is the daughter ofDavid and Jenni Dillenburgerof Harrison.

The bien-nial exhibition features worksof art created by area highschool juniors and seniors as se-lected and submitted by theirart teachers. Lasonczyk’s art-work is an acrylic painting oncanvas and Mattingly’s piece isa drawing of a gorilla.

Winton Woods HighSchool

» Add Mi-chelle Sisk to thelist of coaches atWinton WoodsHigh School, butdon’t look for heron the athleticfields or in thegymnasium.

Sisk, who is the district’smedia supervisor, earned hercertification as an ICoach forINFOhio, Ohio’s PreK-12 DigitalLibrary. As an ICoach, which isshort for integration coach, Sisk

will work with teachers to incor-porate digital technology andresearch tools into their class-rooms. She joins 316 other edu-cators around Ohio who have re-ceived District/Building ICoachcertification.

“District/Building ICoachesare a linchpin in promoting IN-FOhio’s free resources and ser-vices to educators across thestate,” said INFOhio’s Execu-tive Director Theresa M. Fred-ericka. “An ICoach has first-hand experience with the de-mands classroom educatorsface, along with boundless curi-osity about the newest educa-tional technologies. And theylove to share their excitement.”

Sisk received the ICoach cer-

tification after completingmore than 15 hours of grouptraining and individual study onher own time over the summer.

“Michelle is definitely abuilding leader,” Winton WoodsHigh School Principal Eric Mar-tin said. “Taking personal time

to learn more about these digi-tal tools will directly and posi-tively affect the quality of in-struction our students receive.”

Winton Woods PrimaryNorth

» The school door opens andpreschool students from Shaw-na Talley’s class at WintonWoods Primary North race outto the playground, each headingto a different play area or activ-ity. The new playground, whichwas funded through a preschoolexpansion grant from the OhioDepartment of Education,seems to have something for ev-eryone. Better yet, as the stu-dents are playing, they’re alsolearning.

“While the students are outhere, they work on gross motorskills like running and climb-ing,” Talley said. “Some of ourpreschoolers struggle in the be-ginning to do some of these ac-tivities, like climbing stairs.And as the students interactwith each other, they’re alsolearning there are rules to theplayground, like taking turnsand following directions.” Thenew playground also has anarea for the preschoolers towork on fine motor skills asthey use their fingers to tracepaths, turn knobs and ring bells.

In addition to building theplayground, the ODE grant pro-vided free preschool to fifteenstudents whose families arefaced with economic challengesand otherwise could not affordto send their children to pre-school. Director of Student Ser-vices Patty D’Arcy said the dis-trict was also able to use thegrant to purchase instructionalsupplies and materials and pro-vide field trips for preschool.

“Recess lets students burnoff energy and have a goodtime,” Talley said. “And they al-ways want to see who can slidethe fastest.”

Winton Woods Schools» Sheryl McClung McCon-

ney of Envision Children andVincent Rey of the CincinnatiBengals have teamed up overthe years to make a differencein the lives of children in theWinton Woods School District.Their work was recognized atthe October board of educationmeeting when the two were pre-sented with the district’s Com-munity Spirit Award for Sep-tember.

For the last three yearsMcConney has worked with stu-dents at Winton Woods Interme-diate and Elementary Schools inbefore- and after-school tutor-ing programs aimed at improv-ing academic achievement. Of-ten while McConney is up frontteaching, Rey sits with studentsand helps them work on theirmath skills. Rey has said he’sbeen tutoring since age 11, whenhe made it into Bay Academy inBrooklyn, New York, and start-ed helping other students get into the school.

“Mrs. McConney and Envi-sion have been on an education-al mission for over 15 years andhave reached thousands of chil-dren annually,” Winton WoodsSuperintendent Anthony G.Smith said. “Her passion is edu-cation, and she works to helpstudents achieve their highestpotential.”

Smith noted that bothMcConney and Rey believe ingiving back to the community.

“This generous donation oftime and talent happens in tan-gible ways for the WintonWoods students who haveworked with them for the pastfew years,” he said. “The invest-ment the two have made to helpour students achieve their high-est potential is evident todayand will be evident in the futuresuccess stories to come.”

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat and

sugar bloom.Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is

exposed to high temperatures and thenallowed to reset, or is not tempered proper-ly. The cocoa butter melts and separates,then rises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

In 1998, the Ohio GeneralAssembly passed legislationthat created charter schools toprovide options for studentsneeding a setting differentfrom traditional public schools,and to provide the opportunityto pilot innovative programsand services to approve stu-dent achievement.

While most Ohio charterschools offer quality educa-tional opportunities and pro-grams designed to meet uniquestudent needs, legitimate con-cerns regarding oversight andaccountability have been

raised.Few issues

are more im-portant thanensuringOhio’s publicschools, in-cluding char-ter schools,operate withina system de-signed to pro-vide consistent

transparency and accountabil-ity with regard to academicperformance and fiscal re-sponsibility. House Bill 2, re-

cently passed by the GeneralAssembly, includes more than50 provisions designed to ad-dress concerns with Ohio’scharter schools.

HB 2 includes provisions toincrease the accountability ofcharter school sponsors. Spon-sor-focused provisions includeimplementation of a compre-hensive evaluation frameworkfor sponsors, requirements toprovide intervention in strug-gling charter schools, andgreater oversight of schoolsusing blended learning andonline instructional models.

HB 2 also permits the OhioDepartment of Education torevoke sponsorship authorityfor poorly performing spon-sors.

Additionally, HB 2 requiresgreater transparency withregard to fiscal expendituresby sponsors, schools and man-agement companies contractedto operate charter schools.Management companies willbe required to provide detailedaccounting of expendituresand sponsors will be requiredto report expenditures used toprovide oversight and inter-

vention to struggling schools.This will help ensure under-performing schools are utiliz-ing funds to attain acceptablestudent achievement stan-dards.

Ohio must find a way toprovide a quality education forstudents while still maintain-ing a judicious use of taxpayerdollars. HB 2 is a positive stepto successfully building thisdelicate balance.

Tom Brokaw, author of thebook “The Greatest Genera-tion,” describes “A generationof American heroes and hero-ines who came of age duringthe Great Depression and theSecond World War and wenton to build modern Americaas the greatest generation any

society hasever pro-duced.” Thisgenerationgave theirchildren (Ba-by Boomers) astrong, pros-perous andunited coun-try.

As a BabyBoomer, I amextremely

concerned about the conditionof our country that we aregiving to our children andgrandchildren. Our country isdrowning in debt and is divid-ed in many ways. Our nationaldebt as of Nov. 1, was $18.4trillion. Imagine 257 lanes ofCadillac Premium EditionEscalades (MSRP of $82,540and 17-feet in length) placedbumper to bumper from NewYork to Los Angeles (2,790miles). This is an illustrationof how much our national debtis.

Some individuals and or-ganizations are seeking todivide our country by rich/poor, black/white, Hispanic/

white, male/female, gay/straight, young/old, etc. Abra-ham Lincoln stated that “Ahouse divided against itselfcannot stand.”

John F. Kennedy stated,“My fellow Americans, asknot what your country can dofor you, ask what you can dofor your country.” Do thesewords still describe the spiritof the U.S.A.?

The presidential election of2016 will have enormous con-sequences for the future ofour country as well as theworld. As citizens, will wecontinue down our presentpath or will we choose bold,honest, and wise leadership asa new direction? Citizens needto reflect on the current situa-tion of our country and be-come informed on the issues.They must become aware ofthe positions of the candidatesand thoroughly evaluate thesepositions.

We must insist that candi-dates be honest. “Honesty isthe first chapter in the bookof wisdom.” (Thomas Jef-ferson) I believe that Dr. BenCarson has the courage, com-mon sense, passion, insight,wisdom, intelligence, integri-ty and electability to unite ourcountry and get our countryback on track. In his book,One Nation, Dr. Carson ex-plains in specific terms howour country’s current prob-lems can be solved. Dr. Car-son is an outsider who willreduce the cost and size of ourfederal government.

The presidential election of2016 is our best chance tounite, inspire and restore ourcountry. I hope and pray thatwe stop the downward spiralof our country that if notstopped, will lead to nearcertain disaster. Mark R.Levin, author of the book“Plunder and Deceit,” asks aquestion that frightens andmotivates me at the sametime.

“Can we simultaneouslylove our children, but betraytheir generation and genera-tions yet born?” Ten, 20 or 30years from now, what willhistory say about our genera-tion? More importantly, whatwill our children and grand-children say?

Millennials are in theunique position of navigatingcollege debt and low incomesimultaneously, all the whilebeing in their best-ever posi-tion to benefit from savingmoney.

Due to the power of com-pound interest, Millennials –people in their 20s and early30s-- stand to gain most fromsaving now than other genera-tions. But with many demandsand limited resources to allo-cate, how do Millennials prio-ritize between paying off debtand saving for the future?

The first step is to deter-mine individual cash flow.While they usually have lowersalaries than more experi-enced co-workers, Millennialsshould focus on how muchmoney they have after ex-penses. Finding ways to cutexpenses can go a long way.Netflix and Sling TV are afraction of the cost of cable.Cooking dinners and packinglunches yields significant sav-ings over restaurant costs.

Millennials should giveserious thought to what ex-penses can be cut and thenmake some changes. Cuttingexpenses by $5 a day improvesannual cash flow by $1,825;$1,825 invested each year at sixpercent for the next 40 yearsadds $300,000 to a retirementportfolio.

Assumingcash flow ispositive, howbest should itbe utilized?For most Mil-lennials, it willbe a mix ofestablishing anemergencyfund, payingdown debt andbuilding re-

tirement savings. Emergencysavings should range from oneto six months of expenses andshould depend on several fac-tors, including stability ofincome, number of incomesources, and indebtedness,among others.

Millennials need to knowtheir debt situations and theinterest rates they are payingon loans. The minimum pay-ment needs to be paid on eachloan, with extra cash flow go-ing to loans with an interestrate above five percent. Debtstacking is an effective way topay down high-interest debt.

For example, assume a Mil-lennial has $900 designated topay down three loans, eachwith a $250 minimum payment.A total of $750 goes to mini-mum payments, with the extra$150 going to the highest-in-terest loan to pay it downquicker. Once that loan is paidoff, the $400 that was paying

down that loan is added to the$250 being paid to the secondloan. Consolidating studentloans should be considered,too.

When overwhelmed by debt,it can be tempting for Millenni-als to ignore retirement sav-ings; however, it’s costly to doso, since they will not benefitfrom time in the market andcompound interest. Plus, many401K programs match employ-ee contributions. This is essen-tially free money that shouldbe used to their advantage.

For Millennials who work ata company that does not offera 401K or a match, an IRA is agood way to accumulate retire-ment savings.

Juggling financial demandsisn’t easy, yet it’s important tocreate a plan and see itthrough. Deciding how muchmoney to allocate for payingdown debt and building upsavings depends on individualcircumstances. Each situationis unique and a discussion witha Certified Financial Plannercan help determine the rightsolution.

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been asimple ‘sure.’ However, inlight of the ever-increasingaudacity of radical Islamistgroups (yes Obama, youshould use that label), I wouldbe extremely uncomfortabletraveling in Europe with thatall too identifiable dark bluepassport.

St. Xavier High School’sswim team has, for a long time,held the state podium in a stran-glehold. The Bombers have cul-tivated and sustained one of themost impressive programs thearea has ever seen.

Last season, St. Xavier wonits seventh consecutive Divi-sion I state championship (36thall-time) and the Bombers re-turn buses full of top-tier talentin the water.

The Bombers also rotatedthe coaching carousel this year.Longtime head coach JimBrower moved from the headposition to an assistant, to makeway for former assistant TimBeerman to take over as headcoach. Beerman was previouslya head coach at Ursuline Acad-emy.

“It’s worth mentioning thatthis team is 100 members strongand while we certainly can pointto some of our tops swimmers atthe state level,” Beerman said,“the focus of the team is reallyabout helping everyone discov-er and reach the potential theyhave.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has alreadywon four individual state cham-pionships (two as a freshman,two as a sophomore), and he’shelped on a number of statechampionship relay teams. Lastyear, he won the 100 and 200freestyle races at state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also an in-dividual state qualifier, swamon the 400 freestyle relay teamthat won a state title last year.Junior Luke Sobolewski’s an-other experienced swimmerwho won a state title on the 200medley relay last year. JuniorCharles Leibson was an individ-ual state qualifier in two races

last year, and just finished help-ing the Bombers win a water po-lo state championship. Sopho-more Justin Grender was anoth-er difference maker at state lastyear, as was sophomore Nicho-las Perera.

Beerman has also been veryimpressed by freshman JakeFoster.

“They’re just now learninghow good they can really be,”said Beerman. “Their effortlevel is off the charts in terms ofwhat we’re asking of them. It isa talented team, but we’re excit-ed to see how far that talent cantake us as a team. We certainlyhope with good health and goodtraining that we can return tostate and do well. There are anynumber of individuals (outsideof the swimmers mentionedabove) on this team who cancontribute to our success.”

Finneytown’s boys swimteam is working to improve inthe water this season. The Wild-cats didn’t have the best seasona year ago, but another year of

experience means Finneytownwill have an opportunity to im-prove its times lost season.

Coach Bill Profitt who alsocoaches Winton Woods’ swim-mers likes the camaraderie ofhis group. The boys are led byfour underclassmen in juniorIzzak Cruz, junior Tyler Rasp,junior Ian Esslinger and sopho-more Hunter Figgs.

For the last quarter century,La Salle swim coach Mike Lien-hart has been the swim coachfor the Lancers. In his 25th sea-son, Lienhart has another expe-rienced and talented lineup thatcould cut through the water forthe podium this season.

But, to do that, La Salle willhave to replace some key swim-mers.

“We graduated seven seniorswho had major impacts on var-sity,” said Lienhart, who addedthere are only 21 boys on theroster this year and seven ofthose are again seniors.

There’s excitement brew-ing in the water at McAuley.The Mohawks have to replacefive seniors who graduated,which includes Amanda Dell-er, an individual state qualifi-er last season.

But, the Mohawks have arare, yet coveted, roster filledwith steady experience andoptimistic newcomers.

“This is probably the mostexcited I’ve been for a seasonin a long time,” said sixth-year coach Eric Stock. “As faras time, they’re way ahead (oflast year). The most excitingthing is anyone on the teamcan be on the relays … we’re acomplete team; we’re startingto become a program wherewe have consistency eachyear.”

McAuley returns sixswimmers who competed atlast season’s district meet.Returning from districts areseniors Erika Lucas and LiaHergenrother; juniors ClaireRoell and Emma Barbee;sophomores Anh Nguyen andAllison Koenig.

Stock said Nguyen hasreally improved in the breast-stroke. Roell was an individ-ual district qualifier in the 500freestyle last season, andStock said she’s a great dis-tance swimmer. Lucas is abutterfly expert, while Her-genrother is more of a free-style sprinter.

There isn’t a traditionalleader for the Mohawks thisseason, but seniors Lucas,Hergenrother, Noelle Rotteand Kelsey Mooney have alldone their share helping ayoung team with 12 freshman.

“McAuley, for the past 10years, has had a state qualifi-er coming back,” Stock said.“We have a wide variety ofdepth this year; we have fourseniors who’ve done an excel-lent job making sure every-one is motivated.”

The Mohawks will attemptto repeat as champions of the

Best of the West swim meetDec. 10 at Gamble NippertYMCA.

The opportunity is therethis season for Finneytown’sgirls swim team. It’s a specialgroup for coach Bill Profittbecause, in the case of theseniors, they’ve been swim-ming for four years andsteadily improving theirtimes.

The Wildcats will be led byfour seniors, three of whomare triplets. Senior sisters Ju-lia, Katherine and Sara Ger-mann are experienced multi-sport athletes who providedepth and leadership. SeniorElizabeth Snyder is rightthere with the Germann’s interms of leadership.

Finneytown sophomoresKatie Bishop and Vashti Yis-rael bring youth and speed tothe lineup.

It will be hard for Profitt tosay goodbye to his four-yearcompetitors, but before hedoes, hopefully they canmake some magic happen inthe water with a season to re-member.

Now in his fourth seasoncoaching the girls swim teamat Roger Bacon, coach BenStone likes how the girls haveapproached this season. Stonepointed to the hard work he’salready witnessed before thegrueling stretch of winter

The Lancers return four dis-tricts qualifiers from last sea-son in senior Ethan Stock, ju-nior Anthony Hale, junior Da-vid Orth and sophomore ColeTrotta, who trains year round inthe sport.

“The largest class on theteam is seniors (seven), whomhave all had varsity swimmingexperience,” said Lienhart.

La Salle also has experiencedcontributors returning in soph-omore Daniel Nader, seniorCameron Nichols, senior Ran-dall Ellis, senior Alex Houser,senior Aaron Keller, seniorDaniel Lepsky and senior SamMoore.

Lienhart said his team has al-ready exhibited a “very positivework ethic and determination.”For the Lancers to have a strongseason, “many untested under-classmen are going to have tofill varsity roles,” said Lienhart.

The Lancers have big meetson Dec. 2 against Oak Hills, Dec.15 at the Best of the West meet,and the Greater CatholicLeague meet Feb. 3.

If the plan is to build off whatRoger Bacon’s boys swimmersaccomplished last year, then theSpartans could be in for a sea-son that runs all the way to thefinal weekend.

Last year’s team seemed toturn it on for the postseason,and fourth-year coach BenStone hopes that’s the caseagain this year. Stone’s squadgets a great glimpse of top com-

petition all season in the Great-er Catholic League Coed, whichusually has his bunch prepared.

Roger Bacon’s top returneris senior Drew Suffoletta, whowas a district qualifier last sea-son in two individual events andtwo relays.

“He has the best shot at mak-ing state for us,” said Stone.“Last year he swam 50 and 100free and was extremely close to

making state (in both thoseraces). Our 200 and 400 free re-lays should have a good shotalso.”

Stone added that the two re-lays only missed state by a fewspots and only one swimmergraduated from those relays.Stone’s said there’s currentlysix guys competing for the fourrelay spots, and it’s a close com-petition.

really takes its toll. The Lady Spartans’ best

shot comes in the form ofjunior Renee Finan andsophomore Sophie Hunter.Finan did not qualify for thedistrict meet last season. Fi-nan’s best events are the 50freestyle and 100 butterfly.

Stone said he believes Fi-nan is “pretty much a lock”for districts this year. Hisreasoning is because of howhard she’s worked alreadythis year.

If the rest of Roger Ba-con’s roster follows suit, theSpartans could surprisesome people this year.

PIQUA – La Salle’s underdogrole lasted for a half Fridaynight in a consistent rain at Piq-ua in a Division II state semifi-nal.

For the first time this post-season, La Salle (12-2) needed adefinitive second half to comeback and beat Perrysburg (13-1)49-28 to win its ninth consecu-tive playoff game and book a re-turn trip to the state final nextweekend against Massillon Per-ry (12-2). La Salle outscored Per-rysburg 35-7 in the second halfto pull away from the YellowJackets.

It was the defense that jump-started La Salle’s come-from-behind win, which featured a21-0 La Salle edge in the thirdquarter alone. With his teamtrailing 21-14 following inter-mission, La Salle junior two-way standout Jarell White re-turned an interception 39 yardsfor a touchdown to tie the game21-21 with 8:18 left in the thirdquarter.

“Right off the bat (in the sec-ond half), we set the tempo,”said first-year La Salle coachJim Hilvert. “Defensively, turn-overs, we start smacking peoplearound, being physical on de-fense. We contained the quar-terback. I’m so proud of the wayour defense responded ... wesettled down, 35-7 in the secondhalf. We were playing Lancerfootball. I’m proud of our guys.”

Two plays later, junior defen-sive back TreSean Smith, whofinished with two interceptions,stepped in front of another Per-rysburg pass and La Salle’s bigoffensive line led senior NickWatson on a 1-yard quarterbacksneak to give La Salle its firstlead of the game 28-21 with 4:48to play in the third quarter.

A three-and-out for Perrys-burg, followed by two big playsfrom La Salle seniors JeremyLarkin and Josh Gebing set Wat-son up for another rushingtouchdown to give La Salle a 35-21 lead after three quarters.

Hilvert said he told his teamat halftime, “We gotta go get it.Don’t wait around for anybodyelse. We gotta grab it and gotake it.”

With 10:24 left in the game,Perrysburg senior quarterbackTrevor Hafner scrambled for a36-yard touchdown to cut intoLa Salle’s lead, 35-28.

The Lancers went to theground and put Perrysburgaway with a Larkin touchdownrun to make it 42-28 with 3:31left in the game. Larkin, who be-came the Greater Catholic

League South’s all-time leadingrusher in the game, added a 21-yard touchdown run late in thefourth quarter. Larkin finishedwith 161yards rushing on 16 car-ries with three touchdowns.

Larkin said the Lancers re-sponded in the second half andbegan playing “like it was ourlast game.”

“It’s incredible,” said Larkin,who’s committed to UC. “To bein this position, to play 30 gameswithin two years. I’m gonna goout there next week and leave itall on the line, make the most ofour days and just enjoy the mo-ment.”

Perrysburg, which finishedthe regular season ranked No. 1in the state’s final AssociatedPress state poll (La Salle wasNo. 4), got on the board first af-ter a Watson interception on theLancers’ first possession of thegame. Senior running back JoshHaynes gave Perrysburg a 7-0lead with a 2-yard touchdownrun with 6:45 left in the firstquarter.

A second straight three-and-out from La Salle’s offense, fol-lowed by a 90-yard scoringdrive, capped by a 26-yardtouchdown run by Hafner, thatleft the Lancers uncharacteris-tically trailing 14-0 with 2:39 leftin the first quarter. It’s the larg-est deficit La Salle’s faced this

postseason. La Salle had problems slow-

ing down the Yellow Jackets’dual-threat attack offense in thefirst quarter. Hafner, who gaveLa Salle fits for nearly threequarters, finished with 149 rushyards on 16 carries with twotouchdowns. Hafner was 17 of27 for 193 yards, one touchdownand three interceptions.

“I think the first half we werea little uptight because theydidn’t think that was gonna hap-pen,” said Hilvert. “But, wedidn’t flinch. At halftime theysettled down, and kept pluggingaway.”

The two-touchdown deficitbrought La Salle’s offense tolife, which answered with adrive and a 5-yard touchdownrun by Watson, who finishedwith three rushing touchdowns.

Perrysburg went to the airfor its third score of the firsthalf, a 10-yard pass from Hafn-er to Connor Meredith gave theYellow Jackets a 21-7 lead with6:52 left in the first half.

Christian Turner recovereda sneaky onside attempt andJeremy Larkin got loose for a26-yard touchdown run to makethe score 21-14 with 5:15 beforehalftime.

La Salle squandered an op-portunity just before the break.The Lancers were pinned at

their own 1-yard line, 2:34 on theclock, and Josh Gebing caught a62-yard pass to flip the field. LaSalle had second-and-goal fromPerrysburg’s 1-yard line, but afalse start backed the Lancersup and senior Drue Chrisman’s23-yard field goal attempt drift-ed right as time expired in thefirst half.

Next weekend in Ohio Stadi-um, the Lancers will play their30th game in a two-season spanin an effort to win consecutivestate championships.

“It’s very, very exciting to berunning for a state champion-ship against great football inOhio, some of the best football

in the country,” said Hilvert.“To be able to play for a statechampionship, it’s tough to re-peat. It’s tough to win. I’m proudof my coaching staff. One of ourcoaches lost his dad last night,and our staff did a great job pre-paring our guys. Our kidsstayed with the plan and playedtheir butts off.”

The OHSAA confirmed thatLa Salle will meet MassillonPerry on Friday at Ohio State at8 p.m.

Larkin said next weekend’sstate final is “gonna be veryemotional, hopefully we cancome away with a win.”

The continued theft ofpersonal information byidentity thieves has ledthe Internal RevenueService to put in placetougher safeguards forthe 2016 tax filing season.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says, “Weneed the public’s help. Weneed people to join withus and take an active rolein protecting their per-sonal and financial datafrom thieves.”

The IRS says its clearincreasingly sophisti-cated identity thieves arebuying and selling exces-sive amounts of personal

financialdata on theblack mar-ket. Theyuse thisdata to filefraudulenttax returnsusing vic-tims’names andSocial

Security numbers.People like Sandie, of

Cincinnati, who wroteme, “Identity issue withIRS holding up 2014 re-fund payment that couldbe used toward eye trans-plant medications. Calls

to IRS since May to noavail, just extend refunddate with another ex-cuse.”

It took eight monthsand a lot of work with theIRS before Sandie finallygot her refund. That’s alittle longer than usualbecause the IRS says theaverage wait time to getthings cleared up is sixmonths.

Then there’s Douglas,of Cincinnati, who wroteme, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by theIRS. Someone used mySocial Security numberin 2013 and owes the IRS.

They filed their return inMarch of 2014 – we filedin April, 2014 and re-ceived a notice that wehad filed twice.”

Douglas says mattersgot a lot worse recently.

“We received a certi-fied mail stating, ‘Noticeof intent to seize yourstate tax refund or otherproperty’ if we fail topay…We are shockedthat the IRS can continueto harass us for debt thatwe’re not responsible for.They’ve never evenshown us the tax returnshowing that we owethem money for 2013. As

a matter of fact, our le-gitimate 2013 tax returnshows that they owe usfor that year.”

I put Douglas in touchwith the IRS tax advocatewho was able to sortthrough the fraud. He hasnow been credited for themoney he paid and re-ceived refund checks for2013 and 2014.

The IRS its importantto protect your personalinformation by havingsecurity software on yourcomputers and beingaware of phony emailsand phone scams.

For the 2016 tax filingseason there will be newstandards for loggingonto all tax softwareproducts including mini-mum password require-

ments, new securityquestions and standardlockout features.

For the first time,refund fraud victims willbe able to request a copyof the fraudulent taxreturns filed by crookswho used their stolenidentities. The IRS saysthere will be partial orfull redaction of informa-tion on those tax returnsto protect additional pos-sible victims. However, itsays, there will beenough data for consum-ers to determine howtheir personal informa-tion was used.
