Ward 3 onlycontestedrace in cityBy Jeanne [email protected]

BLUE ASH – A man who hopesto win a seat on Blue Ash CityCouncil says the city with theenviable business base must putresidents first.

“When elected, I pledge toserve my fellow residents in Ward3 and throughout the city by one,focusing first on our families,regardless of their socioeconomicstatus, and two, ensuring that ourbusinesses thrive,” said JohnPatrick Dillon, who wants tounseat council incumbent RickBryan in the Nov. 8 elections.

Bryan said he also is commit-ted to residents – and that taxesgenerated by Blue Ash businessesallow the city to fund things thatshow that commitment.

“Residents value our outstand-ing schools, recreation facilities,community events (e.g. free con-certs, July 4 fireworks),walking/biking paths, excellentpublic safety and services and ourdiverse neighborhoods,” Bryansaid.

“Most residents understandthese things are made possible byour strong and diverse businessbase.”

All seven Blue Ash City Coun-cil seats come up for electionevery two years. Dillon is the onlychallenger in this year’s race, inwhich all incumbents are seeking

re-election to two-year terms thatbegin in December.

The battle between Dillon andBryan is a rematch, with Dillonhaving lost out to Bryan by some50 votes in 2009.

By Jeanne [email protected]

BLUE ASH – The board of edu-cation for the Sycamore Commu-nity Schools decided a year ago tobuild new district offices, but somepeople opposed to the project aremaking it an issue in the upcom-ing school board race.

The school district is rebuildingMaple Dale Elementary School offHagewa Drive in Blue Ash for$17.5 million with funds from abond issue approved by voters.It’s also constructing a $2.1 mil-lion building for district offices onthe Maple Dale campus with fundsfrom a certificate of participationand the sale of the current centraloffice on Cooper Road in Blue Ash.

“Neighbors and taxpayers areopposed to the board’s use of tax-

payer money that was not votedon for this use,” said ColleenGreissinger of Blue Ash - one ofthree candidates for two four-yearterms up for election Nov. 8 on theSycamore Community SchoolsBoard of Education.

“There are other ways toachieve the desired end they seekwithout building an elite, new12,000-square-foot building witha 64-car lot in (a troubled econo-my),” Greissinger said.

“The district needs to listen toand be sensitive to the residents,neighbors and taxpayers whostrongly oppose their unnecessary

spending for this building.”Greissinger has never before

sought election to a political office.In November, she’ll square offagainst current Sycamore schoolboard members Jill Cole of Mont-gomery and Ken Richter ofSymmes Township, who are seek-ing reelection.

Cole and Richter believe build-

ing district offices on the MapleDale Elementary School campus atthe same time the district rebuildsthe school makes financial andlogistical sense.

The project is under way,although portions of the plan arebeing reviewed by officials in Blue

Who else is runningUnchallenged Blue Ash City Council incumbents certain to be reelected in

November so long as there are no successful write-in campaigns are:• Jim Sumner for the Ward 1 seat.• Stephanie Stoller for the Ward 2 seat.• Robert Buckman Jr. for the Ward 4 seat.• Mark Weber, currently mayor, for the Ward 5 seat.• Tom Adamec of Woodlands Way and Lee Czerwonka, currently vice mayor, of

JEANNE HOUCK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Candidates for Blue Ash City Council are debating whether the city spends too much time and money on large projects like the Cooper Creek EventCenter being built at the Blue Ash Golf Course, to the detriment of residents’ other needs.

See SYCAMORE on page A2

Here is some informationabout the candidates andmore on what they have tosay about issues in Blue Ash:

• Rick Bryan, 61, ofHuntwicke Place, is executivedirector of The Wellness Com-munity, which has an officein Blue Ash.

He’s served on Blue AshCity Council since 1995 withstints as mayor and vicemayor.

The retired U.S. Armylieutenant colonel is chairmanof the Blue Ash Veterans DayCommittee, past commanderand past vice commander ofAmerican Legion Post 630and a member of the Univer-sity of Cincinnati Blue AshCollege’s nursing programadvisory committee.

“Blue Ash strives to overdeliver outstanding service toall our residents and to ourbusinesses,” Bryan said. “UCInstitute for Policy Researchreports clearly shows thatmost Blue Ash residents arehighly satisfied with the qual-ity of life in our community.

“We work hard to attractand retain businesses. I amcommitted to fully serving allresidents and businesses.

“Stable city governmenthas contributed to the successof Blue Ash," Bryan said. "Iwill continue that.”

Bryan said his top priori-ties are to:

• “Finish the new club-house and Cooper CreekEvent Center.

• “Begin work on the newpark at the Blue Ash Airport.Planning with extensive resi-dent input is well under way.

• “Maintain Blue Ash’sstrong financial position andlow tax structure, (its) strongfocus on economic develop-ment (and its) fiscal controlsto build reserves and deliverbest in class service to resi-dents.”

• John Dillon, 41, ofChesswick Drive, is a Cincin-nati Bell telephone-repairsplicer.

He’s a Hamilton CountyDemocratic Party precinctexecutive and active in theBlue Ash Elementary SchoolPTA Green Team, the BlueAsh Civic League and theEast Side Players.

“Our city has been able tofight the flight of our busi-nesses as well as attract newones,” Dillon said. “Muchcredit goes to Economic (andCommunity) DevelopmentDirector Judy Clark, (assistantCommunity DevelopmentDirector) Dan Johnson andCity Manager David Waltz.

“With our council-manag-er form of government, citycouncil oversees andapproves, but is not involvedin the day-to-day work of thecity manager and economicdevelopment director, both ofwhom solicit businesses,market the city and createeconomic enterprise.

“Council can intervene inday-to-day decisions ifrequested. I know residentshave questioned large com-munity projects like the Coop-er Creek Event Center (at theBlue Ash Golf Course) and thenew airport park, while thecity has canceled family-ori-ented activities like Summer-bration, Heritage Days andAirport Days,” Dillon said.

“Needed cuts due to over-budgeted projects should notforce us to cancel communityevents. Residents must beoffered quality recreationaland educational amenities tokeep Blue Ash the place welove.

“When elected, I pledge tolisten to the concerns of Ward3 residents, as well as those inother neighborhoods, and to:

• “Remember that BlueAsh is a residential communi-ty to over 14,000 residents.

• “Satisfy the needs of ourresidents in relation to com-munity amenities (adequatefire and police protection,well-maintained roads andparks), community centers(Blue Ash Recreation Center,Grooms (Road) field,Sycamore Senior Center,Cooper Creek and the newairport park) and easy accessto all corners of the city (side-walks, bike paths, clear road-ways).

• “Ensure our communitybusinesses grow and thrive inevery economic environ-ment.”

“After more than 30public meetings and recentcampaign tours there is sub-stantial feedback to ensurewe have very favorablesentiments on the MapleDale campus, including thedistrict office,” Richter said.

“It is clearly recognizedthat the cost savingsachieved in the constructionare favorable to all of us astaxpayers.

“Also recognized are theefficiencies of having thedistrict office personnel alllocated in one building willpay dividends,” Richtersaid.

Cole said the Sycamoreschool board carefully con-sidered the issue beforedeciding to rebuild MapleDale Elementary School atthe same time it builds newdistrict offices on the schoolcampus. Both buildings areto open in 2013.

“The decision to builddistrict offices on MapleDale’s campus was madeafter extensive research,analysis and public discus-sion to consider all of thefactors that would result inthe best decision forSycamore taxpayers, stu-dents and staff,” Cole said.

“Options of leasing orpurchasing existing spacewere thoroughly consideredand found to be moreexpensive in the long runthan building a new, effi-cient facility on land thatthe district already owned.

“We were able to takeadvantage of a very favor-able climate for financingthe project as well asachieve construction costsavings by building at thesame time as the newschool,” Cole said.

A look at Sycamore SchoolBoard candidates

Following is information about the candidates for the Sycamoreschool board and their thoughts on this question: How well isSycamore juggling its responsibilities to the taxpayers’ collectivewallet and to students who deserve the best education possible?

• Jill Cole, 53, is a principal at Cole Realty Associates, acommercial real estate company. She was elected to the school

board in 2007.“Our team is doing an excellent job of

addressing the challenges presented in thisdifficult economic climate while continuing toprovide the excellent education our communityexpects,” Cole said.

“We have delivered on our promise regardingexpense growth.

“In fact, we have outperformed our promise,allowing costs to increase at an average annual

rate of only 1.4 percent since 2005, compared to the averageinflation rate of 2.4 percent over the same period,” Cole said.

“We have done this while delivering excellent academic results,one of only 14 districts across Ohio to achieve the state’s highestreport card rating for 12 consecutive years.”

• Colleen Greissinger, 59, is a retired registered nurse with abackground in cost and quality control.

“Sycamore spends double the amount ofmoney per pupil than many other ‘Excellent withDistinction’ schools like Lebanon or Springboro,”Greissinger said.

“Expenditures per pupil went up by $200 foradministration, $200 for buildings and $400 forstaff support from the ‘8-09’ to the ‘09-10’ schoolyear at Sycamore.

“Average teacher income went up by $2,334last year (3.3 percent) while our Sycamore

households lost an average of $829 (-1.7 percent).“Sycamore’s average teacher salary for year ‘10-11’ was

$73,471 while median household income for Sycamore residentswas only $47,800,” Greissinger said. “Sycamore lost 275 students inthe last three years, yet generated more revenue than ever in schoolyear 2010-2011.

“To simply ‘hold the (sky-high) line on costs’ is not enough. Theboard needs to make bold and tough decisions to avoid the projectedirresponsible deficit spending plan forecasted for the next five years.

“Our children and families deserve better.”• Ken Richter, 70, is the retired president of Avon Germany. He

was elected to the school board in 2003 and 2007.“Sycamore is an exceptional school district

and an exceptional community to live, to work andto raise our families,” Richter said.

“In 2004 we clearly recognized that weneeded to constrain our financial trend lines whilemaintaining academic excellence. We cut, wecapped, we controlled and we established aculture of ‘continuous improvement.’

“We have kept these caps in place and ouraverage rate of expenditure increase has only

been 1.4 percent over this time period,” Richter said.“That has put us ahead of many of the financial reforms that are

being widely discussed today and protected us from various statecuts.”

Seats on the Sycamore Community Schools Board of Educationheld by President Diane Adamec of Blue Ash and members JohnMercurio of Montgomery and Jean Staubach of Sycamore Townshipwill be up for election in 2013.

The Indian Hill Exempt-ed Village School Districthas seen a decline in enroll-ment.

During last week’s Boardof Education meeting,Superintendent Jane Knud-son said total enrollmentdropped by 38 studentscompared to last year. Lastyear total enrollment was2,061.

Enrollment in the lastfour year has been drop-ping, said Knudson.

“We don’t like to seechildren leave us, but we dounderstand some parentsnot having a child going toa public school,” she said.Knudson said some parentsprefer a religious educationor same-gender school.

Knudson said the districtwill continue to monitorclass size and review dataon enrollment.

Additionally, Knudson

said a com-mittee ofparents andteachers willreview waysto strength-en andenhance theopen house

at the high school forincoming ninth-graders.

She said another way thedistrict is addressing smallerclasses is by consideringadjustments to theadvanced placement pro-grams.

Knudson said some ofthe advanced placement

courses may be offered onan every other year basis.She said some of the cours-es may continue to beshared with other districts inthe area.

For example, some of theIndian Hill students couldpotentially take anadvanced placement courseat Mariemont High Schoolwhile Mariemont studentstake advanced placementcourses at Indian Hill HighSchool.

With declining enroll-ment, Fred Sanborn, amember of the Committeefor Responsible School

Spending, said the districtshould consider budgetreductions.

Last month members ofthe committee said the dis-trict should repeal its 2009tax increase and reducespending by at least 5 per-cent, or $1.6 million.

Board President MollyBarber said the board standsby its decisions regardingthe budget. “We are diligentin continuing to contain andreduce costs,” she said.

The Coles wrote “Resurrecting Anthony: A True Story ofCourage and Destination” about how their once perfectfamily survived the devastating tragedy of their 12-year oldson's heart attack and brain injury. For more informationabout the book: www.resurrectinganthony.com.

Hollihian decided to channel her “inner sixth grade girlwho read Compton’s encyclopedia for fun” and startedwriting for kids in 2005. From 38,000-word biography/activ-ity books about Isaac Newton, Theodore Roosevelt, andQueen Elizabeth I, Hollihan also made the leap to writing aneasy reader series on Latin American celebrations.

Ursuline Academy jun-iors celebrated their RingCeremony at the school Oct.2 – a ritual that has been areligious event and signifi-cant part of school life fordecades.

The ceremony, whichbegan with Mass presidedby faculty member the Rev.Jack Wessling, was attendedby the junior class, theirfamilies, faculty membersand other students who pro-vided music and singing.

After Communion therings were blessed by Presi-dent Sharon Redmond andCongregational Minister ofthe Ursulines of BrownCounty, Sr. Lucia Castelinni,OSU. Redmond, PrincipalTom Barhorst and the juniorhomeroom teachers pre-sented the rings and pledgecertificates to the juniors.

The juniors then recitedthe ring pledge whereinthey declared their loyaltyto the school and to God,and acknowledged the sym-bolism in the ring’s designof the school’s patroness, St.

Angela Merici, and itsreminder of the charity thatbinds the class together nowand forever in God’s love.

The Ring Ceremony ismore than a rite of passageat Ursuline Academy.

Redmond spoke thesewords about the ceremony:

“This morning, afterCommunion, you willreceive your class ring and acertificate.

“In accepting those out-

ward symbols, you demon-strate your promise to con-tinue the legacy of excel-lence and strengthen thebonds that hold your class,our alumnae and membersof our school community

firmly together in sister-hood.

“You are the youngwomen of Ursuline Acade-my-women of intelligence,women of integrity, womenof compassion, women of

spiritual conviction andwomen who will make adifference in our world.”

In her reflection as juniorclass co-president, AmyBerg spoke about her beliefsand that of her co-presidentEmma Gruber.

“This ring is a continu-ous circle of the tradition,family and the unity ofUrsuline. For Emma and Ithis means having multiplefamily members attendUrsuline.

“Both our grandmothersstarted their Ursuline jour-ney by attending (Ursuline)Oak Street. Then our sisters,cousins, aunts and mothersattended Ursuline at BlueAsh.

“Even though the struc-ture of the building haschanged, inside these wallsthe values and moralsremain the same. We are atestament to this tradition.”

A reception for the jun-iors, their families and theUrsuline community fol-lowed the ceremony in theschool café.

From Oct. 17-21,Sycamore CommunitySchools will celebrateNational School Bus SafetyWeek.

This year’s theme, “BeAware – Know the DangerZone,” reminds students tostay 10 feet away from allsides of a bus and to nevergo behind it.

They should also cross infront of a bus where theycan be seen by the bus driv-er.

“Fifty-nine Sycamorebus drivers are dedicated toproviding safe transporta-tion to nearly 4,000 stu-dents on Sycamore schoolbuses each day. Our driversand monitors work withparents, staff and communi-ty members to ensure thesafety of students as theyenter and exit the bus,” saidMelissa Horning,Sycamore’s transportationmanager.

“To further ensure safety,Sycamore buses are main-tained in safe condition andare inspected by the OhioState Highway Patrol.Sycamore has passed theseinspections with a 100 per-cent rate. Each Sycamorebus is equipped with a sur-veillance system to provideadditional student security.”

Horning offers the fol-lowing tips to further ensurestudent safety:

• Students shouldarrive at their assigned busstop five minutes before thescheduled pick-up time.

• Students should waitfor their bus at the driver-designated place of safetyaway from the street.

• Students who mustcross a road to board ordepart from a bus shouldwait for the driver to signalbefore crossing. Then, stu-dents should cross the streetwhile staying at least 10feet in front of the bus.

• Parents and studentsshould not follow the schoolbus on foot or by car, orapproach the bus from therear or sides, as the drivermay not see a person.

• Adults who transportstudents to and from schoolshould become familiar withbus loading or unloadingzones at each school andavoid them during schoolhours start and dismissaltimes.

• Parents should checka child’s clothing for thepresence of long draw-strings or other danglingitems. These can becomesnagged in the bus doorduring loading/unloading,and should be removedfrom clothing.

Motorists are also remVi-olation of the school busstop law is a misdemeanorpunishable by a fine up to$500.

BLUE ASH- With four seniors, any-thing less than an appearance at theDivision I state golf championshipswas unacceptable for the UrsulineLions, according to coach MarianneUtz-Sahms.

The Lions conquered their goal bywinning the Division I District Cham-pionship at Weatherwax Golf Coursein Middletown, Oct. 12.

Three girls from last year’s team,Meghan Tenhundfeld, Mika Suntayand Megan Skelly were key contribu-tors in helping Ursuline return to stateafter placing third in 2010.

Tenhundfeld shot 2-under par 70 toearn medalist honors at districts, asthe team score of 315 held up over St.Ursula’s mark of 316.

“Megan’s been fun to watch this

year,” Utz-Sahms said. “She’s hittingfairways and greens like she’s a tourplayer.”

Tenhundfeld, who recently commit-ted to continue golfing at Seton HallUniversity next fall, led the GGCL thisseason by averaging 36.91 strokesper nine holes.

Suntay shot 82 at districts, andposted the second best average int heGGCL this fall (38.18). Skelly, and sen-ior Meghan Garanich shot 80 and 84,respectively, while sophomore AbigailWellens ended her round with an 83.

The low round by Tenhundfeld,and the consistent play of the Lions’four other golfers, put the squad inprime position to come out as districtchampions.

“When you shoot 315 in a bigtournament like that, and you throw ahigh of 84, that’s pretty strong,” Utz-Sahms said.

As the squad prepares for the Divi-sion I state meet, which will be playedat The Ohio State University GrayCourse in Columbus, Oct. 21-22, Utz-Sahms said the team’s goal is to finishin the top three, if the Lions aren’t ableto win or place second.

Considering all of Ursuline’s seniorshave won medalist honors this fall,the Lions could be a favorite to at leastduplicate last year’s performance.

“We’d really like to be on the podi-um, which means you have to finishfirst or second,” Utz-Sahms said.

The veteran Ursuline coach addedthat the course Ursuline will play atstate stacks up in the Lions’ favor.

“The (gray course) plays longerthan normal high school golf tourna-ments, but when a course playslonger, it stacks up in our favorbecause our girls hit the ball prettyfar.”

SYCAMORE TWP –Sycamore High School girlstennis coach Mike Teetspulled an old, familiar trickwith his top two singlesplayers for the postseason -he teamed them up.

After a season of firstsingles for Sammi Krugerand second singles forSophia Southard, the LadyAve duo paired up to makethe district tournament. OnOct. 15, they took the No. 3seed in the state tournamentby beating the Ursuline pairof Grace Kallenberg andKristen Behrens.

For Kruger, it was a logi-cal call.

“I think because Cincin-nati’s just so strong in sin-gles between Sandy(Niehaus of Mount NotreDame) and Mehvish (Safdarof Ursuline) and BrookeBroda (Lakota West) thatwe thought our best optionwould be doubles,” Krugersaid. “We had a little experi-ence last year in doublesand it’s our best chance toplay together and try to getto state.”

Even though Kruger andSouthard played some dou-bles last year, this fall’sendeavor was new.

“It was our first timeplaying together,” Southardsaid. “We had played dou-bles before - not together.”

Speaking before the dis-trict tournament, bothagreed the experiment wasworking. The singles stand-outs have accepted theirroles and have beenrewarded with a trip toColumbus thanks to theirshowing in the district tour-nament in Centerville.

“I would say I’m more ofthe baseline player,”Southard said.

Kruger says Southard’spresence gives the LadyAves another dimension.

“It’s kind of nice,because she’s a lefty,”Kruger explained. “We bothhave a forehand, so she

plays the left side, and Iplay the right.”

Senior Riley Miller hasplayed doubles all year forSycamore with freshmanJamie Pescovitz. She thinksthe Sycamore synergy willcontinue to work.

“I know that Sammi hasa lot of experience withdoubles too, and Sophia hasbeen really good at the net,”Miller said. “She (Southard)is really good at the net, soit’s just a natural for them.They’ve already beat a lot oftough teams like LakotaEast and Mason. Both oftheir doubles teams werereally strong this year.Mason even ‘stacked,’ sofor them to come out with awin with them was huge.They’ve already knockeddown a lot of the competi-

tion.”Though both Kruger and

Southard admit theywould’ve liked a crack atsingles, they’ve also bothenjoyed their combined suc-cess.

“When we were in thesectional finals and beatMason, they were first seedand we were second - thatwas a big win for us,”Kruger said. “They werefavored to win. They hadmore doubles experience. Tocome out and win that inthree sets was huge for us.”

The reality of any tour-nament is that few get toend the season with a victo-ry. For seniors Kruger andMiller, it’s been quite a flightas Aviators.

“It was some of the bestyears of my life playing ten-

nis here,”Kruger said.“We onlyhad fouryears to doit, and itwent by real-ly quick. Partof it was justmy team. Ir e a l l yenjoyed it.”

A d d e dMiller, “Ten-nis hasalways beena really funthing for me.It runs in myfamily. Get-ting to play

with all these girls, it was ablast to spend four yearswith them.”

Fortunately for Teets,Southard will return to leadanother group of Lady Avesin 2012.

“I would say this is defi-nitely the most fun year I’vehad,” Southard said. “We allbonded a lot more. I’m real-ly sad that everyone’s goingto part their ways I guess,but we’re going to stay as afamily.”

Kruger and Southardshould know their state tour-nament match-up by Oct. 18.

In Division II districtaction, CHCA sophomoreAliza Williams has movedon to the state tournament,along with the doubles teamof Dominique Baxter andHolly Dahmus.

Williams lost in the semisto eventual champion

Danielle Wolf of CincinnatiCountry Day, and she thenbeat Indian Hill’s KaseySchumacher to take thirdplace.

Baxter and Dahmusdefeated Chaminade-Juli-enne 6-1, 4-6, 6-4.

Leading the UrsulineAcademy Lions in the dis-trict matches in Centervillewas sophomore MehvishSafdar advancing to thestate tournament again.Safdar won a state doublestitle a year ago with her sis-ter, Komel, This year, shetakes the No. 1 seed to thestate tournament afterdefeating Mount NotreDame’s Sandy Niehaus 6-1,6-3 in the district final.

Ursuline’s second singlesplayer, junior Diana Suarez,was pitted against LakotaEast junior Taylor Holdenand fell short in the firstround. Holden eventuallymade it to the semifinalsand took third place beatingMND’s Brooke Dennis 6-3,6-0.

In doubles, the juniortandem of Kristen Behrensand Grace Kallenberg willjoin teammate Safdar atstate. Seniors Megan Felm-ing and Colleen Johns had todeal with Sycamore’sSammi Kruger and SophiaSouthard in round one andwere defeated as Kruger andSouthard eventually alsomade state. Behrens andKallenberg later lost toSycamore’s Kruger andSouthard for the third seedat the state tournament.

Consider health care from a dif-ferent perspective. Who is gettingrich from health care?

If you have worked 30-40years, you and your employer(s)have spent hundreds of thousandsof dollars insuring your medicalcare, and that of your family. It islikely that you have not needed touse much of the medical care thatwas available to you; so, wheredid all this money go?

The medical community didnot receive much; and, youremployer did not pocket themoney. You did not pocket any ofthis expense; in some cases, youmay have barely been aware ofthe costs involved.

Large corporations that furnishmedical benefits to their employ-ees hire people who are in excel-lent mental and physical health.They extensively test for this. Thisis to reduce their exposure tohigher medical costs.

Their probability of high med-ical expense is low; so, they pur-chase insurance with very highdeductibles, and they self-insurefor the balance, paying the highdeductibles for the employee. Thissaves them many hundreds ofthousands of dollars in insurancecosts per year.

If you havelasted this longthe probability ishigh that youhave goodgenes, a reason-able lifestyle,and are in decentshape.

Health insur-ance is a cost ofdoing business, acost of attractingand retaining thebest employees a

corporation can find; and, itemployees many people in theinsurance industry.

Large corporations also useSocial Security as part of theirretirement packages, showingtheir employees, in writing, howthe combination of Social Securityand their pensions will affect theirretirement. They use this both as atool to attract prospective employ-ees, and for the retention of cur-rent employees.

Old people have a certainexpectation of medical services,when they need them, as theaftermath of having paid into thesystem for all of those years. Yet,the monies paid out are long gone,and they were not used to pay for

future services.Gross mismanagement of state

and federal tax dollars, and entireprograms, have contributed to theinability to continue payments forpublic health programs. So, whatare we to do?

What if … we owned the insur-ance company? A private mutualhealth insurance company, whereevery policy holder owned oneshare, there was only one class ofstock, and no one could buyshares, except as a policy holder?This is not new thinking.

Only one company would havethis status. Anyone could join.There would be normal premiums,based on actual operating costs.Payments for medical devices andservices would be negotiated.Management overhead would beheld to 18 percent of total costs.

People would have their owntax-free account. Premiums wouldbe deposited into this account, anda formula would be devised todetermine the expenses to bewithdrawn.

The less your medical expensecosts, the more you would have inyour account for future medicalexpenses.

I would like to thank all of youwho voted to elect me to theSycamore Board of Education in2007.

It has been an honor to servethis community over the last fouryears. These are challengingtimes, and I want to assure youthat you have a highly effectiveleadership team working to ensurethat Sycamore maintains thehighest level of academic achieve-ment while respecting taxpayerdollars.

Sycamore has once againachieved the State of Ohio’s high-est rating on the State ReportCard, “Excellent with Distinction,”for the 12th year in a row.

Congratulations to the studentsand staff for this result. We willcontinue to work to maintain thishigh level of achievement.

We will also continue to work

hard to respect taxpayer dollars.Since 2005, Sycamore’s averageannual expense growth has been

only 1.4 percentcompared theaverage inflationrate of 2.4 percentover the sameperiod. This hasallowed us tohave resources tomanage throughchallenging eco-nomic times andu n c e r t a i n t i e sabout publicschool funding. Ithas also given usthe ability to

implement a 10-year, district-widecapital improvement plan takingadvantage of opportunities in lowfinancing and construction costs,in order to protect taxpayer

investment in our facilities. Wewill continue to manage ourfinances in a conservative andresponsible manner.

I serve as vice president of theBoard of education. I have beenan active volunteer and leader inour schools and communitythroughout all the years my fivechildren attended Sycamore. I amalso a principal of Cole RealtyAssociates, our family-ownedcommercial real estate develop-ment company.

I respectfully ask for your voteNov. 8 to re-elect the proven lead-ership team that delivers provenresults for Sycamore. For moreinformation about me and myvision for Sycamore seewww.votejillcole.com.Jill Cole is running for re-election to theSycamore Community School District

Board of Education.

Re-elect leadership that delivers proven results

Bryan deserves vote in Ward 3Blue Ash has been my home for

more than 35 years, I raised myfamily here and absolutely love liv-ing in this city.

As a retiree, I enjoy the vastchoice of services and programswhich are provided to every residentat little or no charge – the Friday andTuesday concerts, July 4 fireworks,Taste of Blue Ash, the recreationcenter and swimming pool, freetrash collection, outstanding snowremoval, walking and bike pathsand so much more. I really appreci-ate that my taxes are reasonable,and that I do not pay city earningstax on my retirement or investmentincome.

I know that Blue Ash is able toprovide these amenities because ofour strong business base. I applaudour city administration and councilfor their aggressive approach to

recruiting new business, and avoid-ing tax abatements which wouldhurt our schools. Importantly, theydo this while working hard to protectour residential neighborhoods fromthe visual intrusion of commercialdevelopment.

I attribute our ability to “have itall,” in part, to our having a stablecity government that seems to beable to get their work done withoutdrama, arguing and positioning thatyou see in many cities.

That is why I am voting to returnRick Bryan to city council as myWard 3 representative. I’ve knownRick for 20 years. He brings a wealthof experience and passion for ourcity to the job. He is accessible seemsto thoughtfully consider all sides ofan issue before reacting. He has myvote Nov. 8.

John KlasmeierBlue AshOct. 12 questions

How do you think schooldistricts should best scheduleprofessional development, orin-service, days for their staff –by having regularly scheduledearly dismissal for students, orby having entire days off forstudents? Why?

No responses.

Which of Steve Jobs’ prod-ucts mattered most, and whichis your favorite – iMac, iPad,iPhone or iPod? Why?

“I have no favorite. The worldhas lost a true genius.”

J.K.

“Although I don’t personallyuse iMac, iPad, iPhone or iPod, Ihad tremendous respect for Mr.Jobs and what he accomplished.

“He was a brilliant inventor,and from everything I have read,he was a good man. Our world isbetter for having had people likeMr. Jobs among us.”

Bill B.

“I bought my first Macintoshcomputer in 1986, not long after itwas released. I have lost track ofhow many we have had, but Ihave a Macbook Pro laptop andmy wife has an iMac.

To us, these are the mostimportant products. They havegiven us 25 years of less frustra-tion than the comparable Win-dows products (I have a Windows7 computer).

“The iPad makes laptop com-puting more portable than it hasever been, but can’t do enough tomake me replace my laptop.

The iPhone combines laptopcomputing with the footprint of aphone, but so far that has notenticed me to buy an expensive

data plan and a new phone.“The iPod revolutionized music

listening, but I don’t listen to a lotof music. What Steve reallybrought us was reliable integra-tion of all these devices, stylishdesign, and the imagination todream of products we didn’t evenknow we needed. Once we sawthem, we gobbled them up.

F.S.D.

“I am unable to distinguishwhich products Apple Inc. pro-duced vs. those Steve Jobs devel-oped. I do own an iPod and use itregularly. I’ve also downloadedsongs that I couldn’t find in anymusic store, which I appreciate.

“My wife bought me a stan-dard cell phone four years ago,which I appreciate but seldom use.Otherwise I’m strictly a desktopPC man.”

R.V.

“Honestly? I’ve never owned orused any ‘i’ device or anything madeby Apple. But if I had to pick one, I’dsay the original Macintosh PC. It wasfuturistic compared to the Com-modore 64’s that my high schoolscomputer lab used in 1988!”

Salads are a big part ofmealtime at our house. I tryto make homemade dress-

ings asmuch as Ican, andthe sim-pler, thebetter.

Tha t ’swhy I lovethe dress-ing I grewup with:g a r l i c ,l e m o njuice, olive

oil, salt & pepper. But myfamily likes the French typedressings, too.

One of my all timefavorites is from friend andMilford reader, Don Deim-ling. In fact, I took supperover to Don and his wife,Carol, last week and wantedto make it special. So Idressed the salad withDon’s own recipe for what Icall a country French typedressing.

Don shared the recipeyears ago in our kids’school cookbook for St.Louis School in Owensville.

That salad dressing isone of the most popular inthe book. It’s a bit differentfrom the norm, and afteryou make it, you’ll knowwhy it’s been dubbed“Don’s delicious saladdressing.”

Don Deimling’ssalad dressing

You can make this byhand, in a blender or foodprocessor. I use a blender.Go to taste on the onion.Don suggests making itahead for flavors to

“marry.” If you like Frenchor Catalina dressings andwant to try your hand atmaking your own, thisrecipe is a “must try.”

Combine:1 cup canola oil3⁄4 cup sugar1⁄3 cup ketchup1⁄4 cup clear vinegarWorcestershire to taste –

start with a generous tea-spoon

Pinch of salt

Small onion, grated –onions can be strong, sostart out with a coupletablespoons. I chunked up acouple tablespoons and letthat whirl in the blenderwith the rest of the ingredi-ents.

Meringue ghostiesfor Halloween

I saw a photo of these inPillsbury’s cooking maga-zine for Halloween. Theywere too cute. So I made abatch, using my own recipe.

I will tell you I had topractice a little with makingthem. I just scooped upwhat didn’t look right andput the mixture back in thebag to re-form the ghosties.

Start piping the head firstand then go back and forthhorizontally, making armsand body.

1⁄2 cup egg whites, roomtemperature (this makes forbetter volume)

1⁄2 teaspoon cream of tartar1⁄4 teaspoon almond

extract1⁄8 teaspoon salt1⁄2 cup sugar plus 1 table-

spoon

Mini chocolate chips foreyes (or other candy)

Heat oven to 200degrees. Line cookie sheetswith parchment paper orbaking mats.

Beat whites, cream oftartar, extract and salt onmedium speed until softpeaks form. Gradually addsugar, 2 tablespoons at atime, beating on high untilstiff glossy peaks form andsugar is almost dissolved.

If you’re nervous abouthigh speed, you can usemedium and it will take a bitlonger.

Spoon some of the mix-ture into a large plastic bag,smoosh out air and closebag. Cut off a small cornerof bag. Squeeze bag to pipeout ghost shapes.

Stick in mini chips foreyes. Bake one hour andturn oven off but leavemeringues in oven with door

closed for eight hours. Thesewill keep a week if tightlycovered at room temperatureif no moisture gets in.

A video of the “Lest WeForget” community remem-brance event to commemo-rate the 10th anniversary of9/11 is posted to the web atw w w. u c b l u e a s h . w o r dpress.com/video-projects/911-ceremony-2011.

The service, which washosted by the University ofCincinnati Blue Ash Col-lege, had the theme of“Stand United in Remem-brance” and honored the

sacrifices and heroismshown ten years ago inNew York, Washington,D.C., Pennsylvania andacross America.

The event was designedas a way for the communityto come together to honorthe lives lost and the acts ofkindness and compassionshown by professionals andthe general public as aresponse to the tragedy.

The video, which isapproximately 50 minutesin length, includes completecomments from the digni-taries who spoke at theevent: Blue Ash MayorMark Weber, State Rep.Connie Pillich, U.S. Rep.Jean Schmidt, Indian Hill-Madeira Fire Chief SteveAshbrock, U.S. Air forcechaplain Lt. Colonel ElaineHenderson, Cincinnati Col-lege of Mortuary SciencePresident Karen Giles, andU.C. Blue Ash Dean CadyShort-Thompson.

The video also includesrecognition of active duty

and retired military servicepersonnel and the colorguard presented by the BlueAsh Air National Guard,along with performances bystudents from Blue Ash Ele-mentary School, SycamoreHigh School and Deer ParkHigh School.

“The events of9/11/2001 caused so muchchange in the United Statesover the past 10 years,some good and some not sogood,” said 9/11 remem-brance event committeechair Julie Gill, chair of UCBlue Ash’s Allied HealthDepartment.

“I believe that it is imper-ative for us to remember theevents, the people, and thesacrifices of that horrific dayas Americans who love thefreedoms and liberties thatwe so strongly support anddefend.”

The college will continueto post the video throughthe end of October for thosewho weren’t able to attendthe commemorative event.

Calling home from over-seas remains a very expen-sive proposition these daysbut I found the cost can becut dramatically if you signup for the right service andhave the right equipment.

When I was overseas lastyear I signed up for the

Skype service at $6.99 amonth, and was able to callhome using my iPod touchand a Wi-Fi connection.

I found many restaurantsand stores had free Wi-Fiservice so the cost to callhome was limited to thatSkype fee.

This year I found theSkype service price droppedto $2.99 a month for callsfrom anywhere in the worldto the United States. Isigned up once again butthis time I had an iPhone 4with me.

Everything was the

same as last year, only thistime I didn’t have to put myphone away when travelingoverseas – I just turned it on“airplane mode” so I couldnot send or receive calls byaccident and incur roamingfees.

I again looked for Wi-Filocations so I could callhome using Skype. TheSkype pay service allowsyou to call landline phonesnot just computers.

Another big differencethis time was the iPhone 4has a Face Time videophone application. I calledmy brother in New Yorkover the Skype service andhe then called me on hisiPad 2 using Face Time.

I was able to see himclearly and he saw me. Igave him a live view of astreet in Italy and was able

to walk with the phonequite a distance showinghim all the sights until theWi-Fi signal was lost.

I repeated this same pro-cedure with my sons inCincinnati – one of themwas able to see my FaceTime picture on his iPodtouch while the other wasable to view things on hisiPhone 4.

The chance to be able todo real-time video from themiddle of a street or a cruiseship was quite remarkable.

My brother and sons saidthe pictures they receivedwere very good, comparableto or even better than thatfrom Skype – and the setupwas quick and easy.

This time while overseasI found there were more Wi-Fi areas than before, butmost were locked so you

could notuse them.

M ywife sayssometimesI spentmore timeon thep h o n egiving Face Time tours ofthe area than I did talkingwith people around me.

Bottom line, this year Ionce again was able to callhome for just pennies usingSkype and Wi-Fi connec-tions – but I was also able togive remarkable video toursof some of the sights I wasseeing “live” from overseas.Howard Ain answers consumer

The holiday of SimchatTorah is always an out-standing citywide event atChabad Jewish Center Lotsof dancing and rejoicingwith the Torah are the high-lights of the holiday.

The holiday of SimchatTorah is the completion ofthe year-round public read-ing of the Torah (Bible)scroll in synagogues.

On Thursday eveningOct. 20, seven hakafot (cir-clings) are made around theBimah, singing and dancingwith the Torah scrolls. Onthe morning of SimchatTorah Friday, Oct. 28, thefinal portion of the Torahwas read, completing theyearly cycle.

Then the reading startsat the beginning. Thus,those in the Jewish faithcontinue to nourish them-selves from the infinite wis-dom of God’s Torah – theeternal force that has boundthem together and sus-tained them for more than3,300 years.

A special Children’s Onlyprogram featuring a kid’smenu buffet, Israeli dancingwith Idit Moss and specialSimchat Torah flags andTorah scrolls will be led byYouth and Family DirectorsRabbi Berel and ZiporahCohen 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The main festivities

begin at 7:30 p.m. withsushi, martinis, and lots ofdancing .

“Come and join us for anaspiring and happy holidaycelebration. Just bring your-self, children, grandchil-dren, friends and lots ofspirit, and we’ll provide therest,” said Chana Mangelco-director Chabad JewishCenter.

Simchas Torah is a timefor kids, dancing, singing,refreshments, flags and lotsof fun. It is also a time tocelebrate the Torah, yetinstead of opening it andstudying its meaning, it istied closed and danced with.

Studying is dependent ona person’s knowledge, butdancing is something every-one can do. The groupholds hands, join in a circleand unite around the Torah.It is the liveliest celebrationof the Jewish year.

The scrolls stay closedbecause tonight scholarshipisn’t needed, but feet areneeded for dancing. Plentyof L’Chaim will be availableas participants dance andrejoice with the Torah.

All are welcome. Admis-sion price is a big smile, anopen heart and lots of spirit.Call 793-5200 or visitwww.ChabadBA.com.

Ohio has 8 million driv-ers, 121,000 miles of road-way and 600,000 deer.

Trying to predict whenand where a deer andmotorist will meet is animpossible task, but driverswho understand how deerbehave are more likely toavoid a crash.

The Ohio Department ofTransportation warns allOhio drivers that autumnbrings thousands of colli-sions between vehicles anddeer, so drive with caution.

“Fewer daylight hours,combined with theincreased movement of deerdue to mating and huntingseasons, increase the risk ofcollisions,” ODOT DirectorJerry Wray said. In 2010,there were 23,201 deer-vehicle crashes statewidewith 1,063 people injuredand four people killed.

November saw the mostcrashes with 5,012, or 167per day. Because manydeer-vehicle collisions gounreported to police andlocal authorities, the actualnumber of crashes through-out Ohio may be as high as60,000 each year.

Last year, the areas withthe highest number of deer-vehicle crashes were urbanareas: the Mansfield area(Richland County) with 648crashes, the Canton area(Stark County) with 630and the Cincinnati area(Hamilton County) with620. ODOT advisesmotorists to use these driv-ing tips to help avoid colli-sions with deer:

• Watch for deer-cross-ing signs and drive withextreme caution, especiallyin the posted areas

• If you see one deernear the road, expect thatothers will follow

• Watch for deer espe-cially at dawn and aftersunset. About 20 percent ofthese crashes occur in earlymorning, while more thanhalf occur between 5 p.m.and midnight

• Always wear seatbelts and drive at safe, sen-sible speeds for road condi-tions

If a vehicle strikes adeer, motorists should reportthe crash by calling locallaw enforcement, the sher-iff’s department, the OhioState Highway Patrol or theOhio Department of Natural

Resources – even if there isno damage to the motorist’svehicle.
